Anti-Sinitism... and All That

by Lila Rajiva

I write here against anti-Sinitism.

Never heard of it? Oh dear. It must be the only "hate" speech not yet on the government Index. If you didn't know it, our ruling class, for our own salvation and for the salvation of all men, has taken on the task of cleansing us of our own thoughts...and indeed, from thinking.

Admittedly, for a large number of people this would probably be a very good thing. But the rest of us would like to reclaim our cogitations, as well as the vocabulary in which we mutter them.

We want our language back.

Take "hate."

In the good old days, hating someone meant you actually felt visceral dislike toward them. Hate expressed itself in clearly recognizable ways. You spewed invective at the people you hated, you dunked spit-balls in their beer, you snickered at their dress-sense, you aspersed their ancestors and compared them unfavorably to lesser primates.

If you were in the press, you advocated deporting them.
If you were in political office, you set up gas ovens and tried exterminating them, along with their uncles, nieces, and third cousins....
At the very least, you cut up their photos and refused to invite them over for tea.

But those were the old days...when Pravda was propaganda and 1984 was still fiction.

Comes the twenty-first century and "hate" today includes some fairly innocuous things:

   1. Holding opinions the ruling class doesn't like (traditional, religious, libertarian, anti-state)

   2. Researching subjects the ruling class would rather ignore (9-11, Federal Reserve activities, gold manipulation, banker fraud, media disinformation, torture, the CIA, Wall Street control of the media, Zionism)

   3. Treating people with different political opinions from yours like human beings, instead of pond-scum

It's obvious from this that we're ruled by brutes who don't own decent thesauruses or dictionaries. Which means a lot of innocent Anglo-Saxon words are currently blubbering underwater in the necrotic swamps of DC.

Spare a kind thought for them.

And while you're at it, I'd urge you to adopt some stray palabra yourself, before Washington reaches out and touches them with its clammy paws.

In fact, I just got me some palabra of my very own.

Here goes:

1. Anti-Sinites

Anyone who supports the devaluation of the US dollar and/or treasury debt, now largely held by the Chinese government and by Chinese and other Asian savers is an anti-Sinite.
Since debt devaluation would wipe out the savings of creditors, it's clearly motivated by anti-Asian (specifically, anti-Chinese) bigotry. Anti-Sinites want Asians to go broke.
Well-known anti-Sinites include Alan Greenspan, Hank Paulson, and Ben Bernanke.

I agree with Hillary C., on this one

Still applies. Patriot

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic; and we should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.” — Hillary Clinton, 2003

Congress won't eat its own health-care cooking

If it is good enough for the American people, it should be good enough for members of Congress, right?

An amendment offered by Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) to require all members of Congress to get insurance through the government-run plan was defeated 21-18

All health-care plans are equal, but some health-care plans are more equal than others. Shocked

Czechs say "Ne" to Baxter's Swine Flu Vaccine

Baxter to not provide anti-swine flu vaccine to Czechs
http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/domov/zpravy/pri-pandemii-nebude-mit-cr-vakciny-od-baxtera/391208?id=391210

Prague - The U.S. pharmaceutical firm Baxter which manufactures a vaccine against the swine flu in its Czech branch will not ensure the vaccine for the Czech Republic in the case of a pandemic, Baxter media representative Jana Cechova told CTK today.

The Czech Republic has relied on the factory in Bohumil, Central Bohemia.

In its original pandemic plan, the Czech Republic reckoned with vaccines for 60 percent of the population, while the updated plan involves vaccines for 25 percent and the Tamiflu and Relenza antivirotics for the same number.

"No contract for the delivery of the vaccines A(H1N1) between Baxter and the Czech Republic has been concluded," Cechova said.

The server tn.cz writes that the Czech Health Ministry has explained its stopping the talks with Baxter by the firm's inability to guarantee that the vaccine is safe and who will bear the risks for possible side-effects.

"It is a pity, but, unfortunately, at the moment when we accepted the bids, Baxter was unable to confirm that it will deliver a registered vaccine," Health Minister Dana Juraskova said.

Over 60 Czechs have caught the swine flu, but no fatality has been registered.

===============================================

Hmm, wonder why I hadn't heard this from Fake/Noise ... ah, that's right, Big Pharma has been given legal protection against bearing the "risks", in the USA.

A Tax for Having Children?

Well, not quite. Not yet. Do a little research on the early stages of China's one-child policy.

from oregonstate.edu/ua/ncs/archives/2009/jul/family-planning-major-environmental-emphasis

Family planning: A major environmental emphasis

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Some people who are serious about wanting to reduce their “carbon footprint” on the Earth have one choice available to them that may yield a large long-term benefit – have one less child.

A study by statisticians at Oregon State University concluded that in the United States, the carbon legacy and greenhouse gas impact of an extra child is almost 20 times more important than some of the other environmentally sensitive practices people might employ their entire lives – things like driving a high mileage car, recycling, or using energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs.

The research also makes it clear that potential carbon impacts vary dramatically across countries. The average long-term carbon impact of a child born in the U.S. – along with all of its descendants – is more than 160 times the impact of a child born in Bangladesh.

“In discussions about climate change, we tend to focus on the carbon emissions of an individual over his or her lifetime,” said Paul Murtaugh, an OSU professor of statistics. “Those are important issues and it’s essential that they should be considered. But an added challenge facing us is continuing population growth and increasing global consumption of resources.”

===============================================

Uh-huh. Now, we'll need a fee mechanism for cases where people go over their allotment, won't we?

Of course, to make sure the next generation grows up to be good little slaves ..er ..safe, we'll also need to keep an eye on them ... 24/7

To self-serve and buddy-protect

http://www.examiner.com/x-536-Civil-Liberties-Examiner~y2009m7d31-Officers-record-themselves-framing-a-woman-for-causing-a-crash

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/videobeta/watch/?watch=a90382e4-2077-45f3-8913-a568fdfb3170&cat=7a4d0629-234d-4cbb-8e0f-eefae344fb0a

Four Hollywood, Florida, police officers and a crime scene technician are suspended with pay -- and probably contemplating career changes -- after being recorded by a police dashboard camera conspiring to frame a civilian driver for a crash. Alexandra Torrensvilas was arrested for driving under the influence only after a police officer rear-ended her at a traffic light, and that officer and his colleagues openly discussed, within range of the camera's audio pickup, doctoring their stories and the evidence to blame the woman for the collision.

Chains you can believe in.

Greece to vaccinate entire population for swine flu

http://www.worldbulletin.net/news_detail.php?id=45520

Greece will vaccinate its entire population of 12 million against the swine (H1N1) swine flu pandemic which has swept around the world in weeks, killing hundreds of people, the country's health minister said on Friday. (No word, yet, on how they're going to handle all that drowning that goes on in their coastal areas, every year.)

The Mediterranean country, which receives about 15 million tourists every year, has confirmed more than 700 swine flu cases and no deaths (they're gonna put a stop to that ASAP), but world health experts (what's that?) say the true number of cases globally is far higher as only a few patients get tested.

"We decided that the entire population, all citizens and residents, without any exception, will be vaccinated against the flu," Health Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos said after a ministerial meeting. (One wonders if this includes their own families)

Greece has already earmarked 40 million euros for vaccines and has placed orders with Novartis, Glaxo and Sanofi for 8 million vaccine doses, to be received gradually by January.

Vaccine experts (Really? Based on?) say people will likely need two doses of vaccine to be protected from H1N1 swine flu, so Greece would need a total of 24 million doses to vaccinate its entire population. Other countries are taking similar steps.

"Greece will order 16 million more doses from the same companies in the future," a health ministry official who declined to be named told Reuters. "We are only waiting for the European Union's approval to start vaccinating everyone."

The European Medicines Agency has begun reviewing pandemic flu vaccines under development, aiming to get them approved before the flu season starts, sometime in September.

The health ministry official said children, the elderly and ailing would be the first to be vaccinated. (Why not sort out the pregnant ones and give them a dose of thalidomide, too?)

About 800 people have died worldwide since the outbreak of the flu in April. (And from nothing else, right?)

HR 2749: Totalitarian Control Of Food Supply passes

Accurate 'plain english' description http://dprogram.net/2009/07/31/insane-food-bill-2749-passes-house-on-2nd-try/

Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-2749

Written vaguely enough to regulate a backyard garden, with nice fat fees added for the privilege of having it.

This has been in the works for awhile. I was writing about it in January-before-the-primaries-were-over-2008. Others have been on the case even longer. Just mentioning that to show this isn't to pick on the current prez.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it will die in the Senate.

ticketed for parking in your own driveway

(anything to grab what little of your cash remaining)

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvg/story?section=news%2Flocal&id=6866143

Toledo residents along Holland-Sylvania near Nebraska received parking tickets in their own front yards. The mayor defended the move, then refused to answer our questions. It is illegal in Toledo to park on gravel or anything unpaved, even ifit's in front of your own home. Mayor Carty Finkbeiner says if youbreak a law, you get a ticket.

Pastor Chuck Baldwin: Mother's Day 09

Pastor Chuck Baldwin discusses parental discipline, when he was growing up compared to now.

I should point out that trying his parents' form of discipline anymore will get you arrested, in many places -- as the system needs to ensure a fresh supply of new criminals, to maintain an excuse for its existence and expansion. Steering your children straight is a threat to that supply.

"Prolonged detention" is not new

Maddow takes issue with Prez Obama's "prolonged detention" speech.

Maybe "American history" is much shorter than I have been led to believe, or maybe "never" has been redefined; that's been happening to many words, lately. The two presidents that Obama has been compared most favorably with, FDR and Abe Lincoln, both had systems like this. Both detained journalists and others who were critical of their wars. FDR also had Japanese-, German-, & Italian-Americans, entire families, put into internment camps during WWII. That census data really came in handy -- but, that's a whole other blog entry.

Daniel Hannan rips PM Brown

The question is posed whether Mr. Hannan's comments about Brown could apply to our current Prez.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPBzZjbOhTA

His response shows true class (a warning that a certain path is not the right one, instead of hoping for failure).

Although the partisan hacks (half of them, anyway) won't accept it, his comments could equally apply to our previous Prez, too. More people are coming to that realization. For various reasons, it is a conversation that would not be taking place in the larger media had the election turned out the other way. -- Not that it would be any less true.
