It turns out that INTERPOL does not take lightly killing terrorists, surgically ala James (shaken not stirred) Bond, lightly. InterPol warrant for killing terrorist commander . Reuters report shows posted pictures in an effort to bring these villains to justice.
On the domestic front a few crazies fearful of the "Anti-Christ" have organized for a war with local authorities, hoping to kill policeman and then their relatives at the funeral. Pretty twisted. Some are obviously insane, but there was a sting aspect to this. I suspect it was a sale of military weapons that set these oafs up. Lots of things to be upset with, but killing law enforcement officers is beyond the fringe. Law enforcement probably ought to arrest without shock and awe, lest they be surprise themselves, ala
Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Origins of Tyranny: Comparing Hitler and Obama
Hitler and Obama do have some things in common. Both are essentially socialists, with distinct national interest, or national socialists. Their lives can be contrasted in many ways, but both were gifted orators. Raised by single mothers, and both spent considerable time to organize on the mean streets of a large city. Neither had any political connections in the beginning, but both found sudden wealth from publishing books
Both men found enemies to attack in their rise to power. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat. Obama used bankers and other rich people, who it turns out are also Jewish. Obama, is decidedly against the Jewish state, Israel, and takes every opportunity to embrace, Israel's tormentors.
Obama used Acorn for "street cred." Acorn was thrown under the bus by Obama. He's thrown his grandmother, Rev Wright, Vann Jones and countless others under the bus. Use them then abuse them. At first I saw Acorn as brown shirts, but they were used. He was elected and now they're history. The Brown shirts were slaughtered by a new force the SS, when Hitler gained elected office. A police state does require fear, and force. The tools of tyrants vary but they are always the same. Perhaps it will be the new 16500 IRS agents. If these agents come off of unemployment, they may worship their new Fuhrer. But there will be a new Geheim ( Homeland), Staats (state)Polizei (Police): Geheimstaatspolezei.
When you begin to dread and watch what you say, on line or in print, you may be on to something. Then watch out when he wants to move you to a better place.

The Plight and Remedy of the Black Man in America. Introduction
Dear Glen,
Your letters always make me think and motivates a response.
Over the course of our adult relationship, which is now over thirty years, we've talked of many things, and the heart of the conversation returns always to The Black Man in America. I believe it is a good conversation.
At times you do push some buttons and yet in many ways, your situation in life is emblematic of the condition of the Black Man in America. In many ways the African Americans are tied to history far more than any others. In some ways they, and you tell me is that you are not the masters of your destinies. Over those thirty years, you have voiced discontent and you've blamed America, sometimes the Jews and sometimes, Capitalism. At times I ask for specificity and you do address them succinctly. So, if you can identify injustice, why do you fail to identify the trend. our situation contrasted with the success of our childhood friends need and explanation. Why did they succeed if America is so racist? Your last letter expressed a belief that the Black Man in America is mostly bound for jail. While you know that you are factually wrong, I believe that your fears are valid. In my opinion there are too many black men in jail, but are certainly also guilty. Our black school mates succeeded, because they properly interpreted their conditions.
So, where do we go from here. What I intend to do is to explain my rational for my ideas regarding the situation of the Black Man in America and simultaneously publish it on my blog Shay's World . I start here. medieval
The Plight and Remedy of the Black Man in America. Introduction
My thinking on the issue of the Black Man in America stems from my observations and in part follows on the 1944 An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy by Gunnar Myrdal. Myrdal incidentally was a Swedish economist and shared the 1948 Nobel Prize with Frederick Hayek the Austrian economist. Both men had witnessed much in their lives, including the rise of communism, Nazism, two major wars and experiments to shape societies "scientifically.
All social issues are attempts to rectify a social ill; real or perceived. Social ills were over time explained as bad morals, evil spirits, bad air, heredity and most recently as "inequitable distribution of wealth". Social "scientists over the last hundred years, rejected the previous notions and settled upon the doctrine of "material determinism." This doctrine postulated that the correction of the material conditions, would improve humanity. This doctrine found a home in Marxism and its child Communism. Hence, changing conditions required the entire restructuring of society. A dozen or so countries experimented with this doctrine and everyone failed to live up to its promise.
With all that said, I believe that there is room for improvement, but it must be prudentially executed, and best left to religious organizations and not government. But if the government must be involved, who would we help? It should help those that it directly effected by Governments direct or indirect commission or omission. The Black Man in America and the American Indian were the primary victims. One was brought in chains and the other, well the other, his land was taken from him. All other minorities, in essence, are either political or economic immigrants. As you should have noticed, that each of the other groups has traveled the well trodden path to cultural, economic, and political success. They started as the outsiders, suffered, worked hard and found success. It is very different for Black and Indians. These groups continue to suffer, even though their "material condition" has improved. There are other factors that I will address later.
All though there is a number of prominent Blacks and Indians who succeed, the majority have not found the American Dream. Both of these groups, at one time had federal agencies that look out for them, but they over time these agencies lost focus and complications led to confused issues, politics and money.
Why am I doing this? A good many black scholars have shown me the the light, and because, I cannot be called a "Uncle Tom" for what I say, I will often repeat their words, which for too long have been ignored by black elites.

The Census: Counting The Burmese - Not a Good Thing
From http://burmeseconservative.blogspot.com/
It's census time, and the count is on to determine the allocation of congressional seats. But the simple task of counting, has turned into much, much more, it has also evolved into a contest for a "fair share" of the federal coffers, as determined by race. As odd as it may sound, our government has taken on a decidedly racist turn. That is unless, you believe that some races are more deserving of federal monies than others. Here we find ourselves in a bind. There are some that truly have faced historic abuse, put upon it, by the Federal government itself. This group is the children of those who were brought here in chains; this group is the African-Americans, whose ancestors were slaves. (This does not include the children of Africans, including those whose fathers' where graduate students in Hawaii). This is the only class of folk who really need help, but as you will see, few of these descendants get that help.
That said, who are all these other folk, clamoring for help. But the gates are now open to all groups, and hence the problem. So, if you are of a "minority" now, then counting by race, would make sense, because you believe you have the goods coming. Yet, this is the continuing effort to stigmatize ethnicity and to divide Americans. It is and let the record show; a Democratic party trick to get the "right niggers" in place to rule over minorities, to deliver votes,; to hold power. Think now, if you live in, or know an ethnic enclave, which families hold power, and for how many generations. Think about what actually happens in that district, objectively? Are the schools better, are there more jobs, is there less crime? How many people do you know, rise through this hierarchy of "minority" elites to positions of power? Ask this question who really benefits from the Federal money?
Look at the Black and Mexican communities and see how this "elite" lords over their respective ghettos and barrios. If you want to see the national goings on of the Black elites, it is "Jet" magazine. Let's face it, the "Hood" is for those who cannot escape hell holes of poverty and despair. Yet, where do the elites live? Where do their children go to school?
So, let's take a look at the new immigrant waves of the Laotians, Hmong and Vietnamese. The first two are consigned to despair and poverty in their ghettos, some even in frozen lands of the Midwest. The Vietnamese have retained autonomy and independence possibly because they saw that the Federal government could not be trusted, witness their betrayal in Vietnam. Look at who prospers. Look at who despairs; it is almost without exception ones given government help.
Now it's the year to count Burmese immigrants. They have a choice, either to become Americans and assimilate or to stay ethnic and to get ready for years in the ghetto, where they will be herded by new elites and to have their lives and families destroyed by Federal largess. They've already lived in hell and their American nightmare is just about to start.
As an immigrant, whose been here for fifty years, I've had the unforgettable experience of being poor, being called by every insult and overcoming. And yes, I've prospered, through hard work and not liberal hand outs. So who do I credit? Of course God and my parents, and to the idea of self-reliance from; yes, Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver, Booker T. Washington and to the civil rights struggle of African-Americans. Without the 1960's civil rights struggle, I'd be a Asian gardener for what is probably the most racist area in America, the beautiful, Monterey Peninsula.
If the Burmese, go the way of accepting minority status, to feed entirely from the Federal trough, the respect for elders will be the first thing that goes. With that follows the deterioration in short order; of good things Burmese. The family will be destroyed, then tradition, generosity and even delicious food. All that will remain will be the a new underclass whose genetic trace identifies them as South East Asian.
Mark my words.

Does Ethnic Affinity Matter?
"Squandered-potential" is what I believe happened to filmmaker Spike Lee. His "It's a black thing you wouldn't understand" to summarily exclude outsiders is something that I've pondered about my won "Asian-ness". In college, (college is where it seems all Asians go) I joined to Asian-American club, to go to potlucks. I wasn't interested in tales of exclusion and second class citizens, because it seemed that Asians were living the American dream, very much unlike the histories of black and hispanic suffering (even though many have come a long way, and some still exploit it).
Now, I have a family member, who's made something of herself, wants special recognition of minority status for our teeny, tiny ethnic group as a honorary director of the census for this group. Her interest, like those of so many other groups is to seek special recognition. She campaigned for Obama, raised money for him, was invited to a whitehouse photo op and I guess now wants some kind of payback is a czarincess of my teeny tiny ethnic group. Yes, every group does it, and but yet, why does my sister as self-made person want to penalize the new comers by giving them that government cheese (I'm figurative here), that will inevitably sour in their stomach, destroy their initiative.
I am a proud American, and a proud Burmese. These facts of identity are not exclusive and certainly don't determine the how we live.

Two Groups of African Americans
Dear Mr. Bailey (The Afro-American Newspaper),
I read with interest your article "African Americans Divided into Two Basic Groups". I am not an African American, but have felt since childhood, that the fate of all minorities in America are tied to Black Americans.
The two groups you present are essentially those who would be in some eyes be deemed as "Uncle Toms" and the others as the militant nationalists. I believe that you are selective in your quotes in attempting to typify men in either category and hence, simplify the complex issues that befall "black progress". The historical burdens of slavery, segregation and the brutal social welfare regime cannot be ignored.
I believe that the two better groups or better are two ideologies to define that conflict. The conflict is actually between W.E.B. Dubois (political advocacy) and George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington (education and self-reliance). These objectives are not contradictory, but yet, it seems that political advocacy has dominated modern African American aspirations. The enthusiasm and elation surrounding the election of Barack Obama is an example. The messianic symbolism in so much of Black literature seem to come to fruition in this presidency, which by all accounts has done little to actually help the Black community. As the saying goes "Show me the Money".
This unbalanced approach in favor of political success destroyed black entrepreneurial enterprises beyond number in the 1960's. Consider the number of thriving black enterprises in Richmond, Washington, Baltimore etc and how they were destroyed practically overnight by the sudden flight of black dollars into white businesses. Where I live in Petersburg, Virginia, our Halifax Triangle is vacant, but for the two mortuaries that survive. Richmond's Jackson Ward was cut in half by I-95, thus severing the community. Where was the out-cry. Black business just closed up shop and entire communities died and left no examples that black people could be business owners. What happened to the "George Jeffersons". So hear I am crying about the past.
So how do we move on. I believe that America as a whole, must recognize that while we move for political equity, we must train the young to be self-sufficient, industrious and to love education. I am encouraged to see black small business returning to cities like mine, but I also believe that they can use a hand in training and of course bolstering RELEVANT education in our existing schools. Not every child needs to attend college. Learning trades should be fine. We need black electricians, plumbers and mechanics too and we need business owners. I am simply exasperated that the gay agenda seems to be a higher priority politically, than getting our young black men off the streets and into training programs that have a future. I am following with interest Tavis Smiley call for a "black initiative".
Peace,

Hurt Locker revisited
I still haven't seen but now I plan to. I'm a contrarian by nature and now a bunch of veterans don't like so I'm compelled. Pacifists may do likewse and garner enough dvd sales to break even.
The veterans complaints of inaccuracies cannot account for the dismal earnings of the film, so will see for myself how bad it really is.

Women in war: multi-useful
This is part of an exchange between the Boys in my clan.
Have either of you seen the Sinhalese movie "The Terrorist'? It's about the Tamil Tigers, and their use of women as suicide bombers.
Getting back to the question, it appears as a necessity that we have to have women in the military and roles in combat is growing. My preference is not to have women in mixed units, it makes everything much more difficult, but we adapt.
The volunteer Army initiated by Richard Nixon in '73 took into account that most men did not want to serve in uniform, so the Army became unisex (in a matter of speaking) VOLAR was the ened the draft and killed the anti-war movement. To meet shortfalls, the Army recruited females and increased the number of non-citizen immigrants. Manpower shortages were punctuated down in periods where national leadership (the president) was seen as soft or effeminate. The Carter years required the armed forces to lower standards for recruitment but many of these recruits were later eliminated in early training character traits or discipline problems. Women became a fixture in the Army in those years, with a mixed record at the unit level. I've served with great women, and some scum bags. Anecdotally, their record is neutral, which is desirable.
Bombastic and warlike, Reagan added at least 4 new divisions to the Army, ordered more aircraft carries, SDI, stealth planes( those were built in secret) etc. Recruitment of would be killers was very good in those years. Bush I got a chance to use the Army in the Gulf War, which benefited the military as a training exercise. Clinton coming at the end of the cold war, oversaw the draw down the military, and while he was disliked, he did little actual harm to the military. Bush II oversaw expansion of the military and what I see as problematic growth of the military industrial complex, especially in contract services.
With all that said, we are at a very interesting juncture in military affairs. Is the military a fighting organization or a vehicle for social experimentation. We cannot be both.
In all, I am of the opinion, that we cannot fight, sustain or win, the 1.5 major wars, for which our military was designed. The military and the citizenry are burnt out on war.
A little Latin for you to memorize. Ce vis pacem, parabellum = if you want peace prepare for war.
