 The rule of two

I, and many other people too, had the hope that the eternal rule of two, both blazoned by every Democrat administration and one of them by the Republicans, have the end with Barack Obama. Not because the color, origin or economic status of the actual President, but because without any doubt he is the smarter, more sophisticated and intellectual of all the Presidents in this great country of us. But he work hard to be like any other predecessor. I though the style was a way to mislead the forces of bad that stalk every good leader, and he (I though) will never use the rule of two like a deception to the people who supported him in the elections. Boy we were wrong!. He, the President, played with both rules and more. (I discovered he was the same as the others just in his two first month in power. He can not fool a guy like me that has seen so many different games in the International political arena.) Smarter yes, different no.

******

There are two circumstances used and abused in more democracies (or close by systems) when some kind of crisis menace the stability of their governments and/or the good opinion about those nations in the world. 

One is the security of the place. From an immediate assault from a neighboring country (always based in not-to-intelligent intelligence reports) -intentional redundancy- till the falling of out space objects, and once in a while dealing with the "great" danger represented by a group  of students throwing rocks and bottles to seasoned, strong and well protected, well armed and well trained police or military forces.

The other is non-security, furthermore less efficient and harder to deal with, the well known economic-political crisis. This kind of crisis is resolved with the "ministerial chess". There are pawns, bishops, knights and rooks. The queen (the stronger of the ministers is normally known as the Premier) and the King is the King, President, Dictator, Shah, Emperor,  Supreme or whatever name they can come with. The game involve the firing, moving, rehiring and promotions between the staff of the supreme. This movement does not resolve the situation at all. But in the meanwhile the circumstances changes in the world, the nation or the place, or a new cabinet/government is created. Nothing change for the common guy, just the illusion of more qualified people running the show and the hope for better times  in the horizon.

We in USA have a slight variant.  Alternative that we are teaching to the new democracies (or whatever we want to call the mercantile/corporative system that we represent and defend). 

   ****

Just check history and see the two problems that all Democrats have being playing with for a long time without a real solution, that oxymoron that get so many votes but never a logical approval by the elected: The Universal Health problem.  Our new president added a new twist that was inspired by the campaigning and (pretended) efforts of the Clintons during the Bill Clinton interesting time as president; Universal Insurance?. The make money for the insurance people elevated to the cube, at the expense of the insured and also to the tax payer. Not only oxymoron but mostly absurd and insulting to most people reasoning.

Is not that the elected president took that crazy and disgusting idea from the Clintons only, but Mr. Obama extend the already compounded political debacle and bitted the bail with the Immigration problem. A nice trick thrown by the sneaky senators. Not that the president be naive, he loves to play with people minds (he is not alone in that endeavor. Mr. Roves, Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Obama are a thinking tank of three)

 But nothing new in the mini-crisis. ex: the Shakespearean Fiscal Cliff  and the mundane Sequester. Scary only to the new generations of network's parvulae that are the firsts to celebrate the "ability of our superior system" to resolve a problem that exists only to be used as entertainment and admonition. Piece of cake. Sale of an old product like a "New and Improved" one. Better yet, like they teach in business school: "Make a smaller container, better looking and more expensive. People will love it!"

****

The President try to keep abreast of the more used gimmick by the Republicans: The Tax Reform and the Constitutionality  of the Senatorial  Irrationality as applied to the Legal Prerogative of Corporative Rip-off. 

- In plain English: The use of ponderous words and euphemism by the Senators for, under the umbrella of The Supreme Court interpretation of the Constitution, to allow the Congress the dictating of laws that facilitate the Corporations to steal from the common citizen.-

Mr. Obama could try to curtail that. He knows how and nobody in the high echelons of the system will dare to oppose somebody with brains and experience. The problem is that he have not time. Most of the presidential time is used in learning protocols and dealing with simple stuff. The important things are left for the next person that win the jackpot. The only president that resolved real problems, presidential problems, was FDR and everybody knows that the time was granted to him. If Obama have the same period that FDR, he will exceed the big guy, but few people in the ghost government, the imperialistic minds,  wants a real and powerful democratic republic. They only want to grow at the expenses of the smaller people, make money for just a little group (government is just a tool to them) and make the rest of the world just a big golf field. They have the money and the resources to make many of us die to make their little brains look good.

March/2013

Apparently everything that this country used to stand for is going down the drain in misinformation and secretiveness. From how the heck the crusade against Islamism started till the use of drones in non-combat zones of friendly foreign countries, with the purpose of killing suspects American citizens without a proper trial. Not less the persecution of those heroes that trying to publish the truth risk their safety and freedom (Julian Assange, Bradley Manning) - with the only purpose of defending the only thing that separate United States from any other Imperialistic  country in history: Freedom of Information and Human Rights.- 

  =====================

Fortunately not every journalist is so obedient to force (some naive people called obedience to the law, normally because they do not know the difference between law and abuse of power). When we see that some journalists: Carter Evans (KCAL-TV)  and his cameraman challenged, not only the advise (maybe they didn't knew) of the police in avoiding the giving of information material to the former hero turned assassin. (funny because Christopher Dorner knew everything in the book of man hunting thanks to the careful Armed Forces that in that activity - hunting - apparently, does not discriminate.) Evans and his colleagues were also risking the look of contempt and cursing of the law enforcers, bullets and incendiary materials (probably also secrets like in Waco and Philadelphia). Most incredulous people will say that the police is trying to protect journalists , maybe so, but they better be informed that in most civilized and democratic countries the press is used to serve the readers, and not the corporations. When the power of the press maintain the freedom and honesty of the elected officials and public servants, and specially to say the truth, my dear readers, that is a very dangerous profession and most people know it. That activity cost a lots of life in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Colombia and all around the world. Is those places deserve that the public interest be served, affronting dangerous and treacherous situation.- Why that worry about American journalists not to inform the people even at risk of challenging laws and customs?

Journalism!

 That is the profession that is disappearing, like it disappeared (long time ago) in the Soviet Union, Germany, Japan, North Korea, Cuba and... Miami?

BREAKING THE ICE: My First Editorial in 2013

(Just in case the world ended in 2012 I’ll say

what need it to be say)

Mr. Piers Morgan, Welcome to America.

Three honest persons:

 Pier Morgan, Ron Paul and Jesse Ventura

About the killing in Newtown

When you are trained for love and help you do that. When you are filled with crime, abuse (starting with animals) and blood, bad things can clip at any moment, You are rearing kids with monster mentality, you are sending your young's with guns around the world under the false pretense of security. You are seeding insecurity with your youth. Just look at the display of guns in that school after the crime spree. A little kid is impregnated with the notion of trusting force to have security. Benito Juarez have a better idea, we should trust the mutual respect. We are strong and well armed, the kids, the weak part of that chain, are just kids. 

God give us some clear judgment!

" Our leaders are filling our minds with a tergiversated freedom and a Jesus closer to a General than to a savior. "

Editorial by: Len Zayaslenzayas11.jpg (45684 bytes)

Sorry I can not make any stronger and more convincing statements about our system of life. It hurts when we hear about innocents creatures been massacred just because people are deaf or our voice is too soft to make clear what is poisoning the mind of late bloomers youth.                        We need to scream:

TV-MOVIES-VIDEOS-GAMES

Our media is molding our youth with their Halloweeneske heroes, replete with phantasmagoric makeup, overbearing tattoos, white trash attitude and jail vocabulary. Stupid and frustrating competencies. Insane challenges. Sadistic videos with inhumane behavior disguised as fun. Lust without reason; hate without logic, sex without motivation. 

Material for MORONS incentive for WEAK BRAINS and CRACK HEADS.

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

PARENTS

Parents buying mind benders gimcracks for their infantile adolescent, full of grotesque images and inconceivable situations.

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

ECONOMY

Our economics ‘masters’ in competence with each other for monopolies and power at the expenses of jobs and welfare for the poor. Bringing instability to the world with the only purpose (like any empire did for selling trinkets and collecting money) of selling chickens, hamburgers and coffee. Billionaires that are beggars, always looking for somebody else money "to help the needy" when the real intention is to glorify their own stingy images at somebody else expenses, that is how they make the money in first instance.

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

POLITICS

Greed politicians filling our ears with false "God Bless" and "Our sympathy is with you" every time some disaster happens, but doing nothing to avoid the marketing machine from molding our brains with crazy ideas just for the sake of entertainment and money.

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

RELIGION

Our religious leaders, so involved in "social issues", mainly picnic, lunches and collections. But that is not that bad, the worst is to have their mind in Santa Claus and Cinderella, the Bible and the organization that they represent rather than the words of the Man from Nazareth that those people pretend to represent. Theatrics and music for the selling of faith, while painting, with their blessing of governments and troops, a Jesus closer to a General than to a savior.

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

GOVERNMENT

Policing the world for the benefits of some conglomerate and making machines of destruction while parading our military with tanks and planes, pretending influencing the world with our force instead of our morals and devotion. Discriminating and abusing the weaken countries, giving suspicious humanitarian help while making Mafiosi’s "offers that they can not refuse". Supporting dictators and extreme right governments under the cover of a false and "very convenient" democracy.

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

OUR BLESSED COUNTRY

We are failing because our overrated country, that used to be good for us, and example for the world until the middle 50s, now, and thanks to our political leaders and (mainly foreign) money that elect them, for decades – and using our votes that we deposit in good faith based in Who the heck knows? knowledge or background furnished by paid advertisement and debates in TV - those elected officials are filling our minds with a tergiversated sense of freedom and responsibility toward other cultures and, also, forcing us (with our money) to force them to follow suit with our own shaking policies and economic well been. Those "pushers" are failing, and making enemies for us, the people.

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

COMMON SENSE

How come can we be "leaders" when we are loosing grip in our own people and can not protect our best assets; our kids.

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

CONCLUSION

I'm sorry once again. I do all I can for our kids, your kids, their kids, all the kids. Is time for you to stop been a follower lamb and starts doing your part?

 Is the right right? ... or just a matter of semantics?

the same apply to so call Christians... Yes, there are

Christians that belief in Jesus ideas and they are

known as... (click and find out)

I think that the media is not helping with information. They use advertising disguised as news and  what just a group says as a rule for the majority. (democracy) Take political conventions like example. (The Guardian)

It takes real men to talk as real people.

American elections?

Not much choices, one candidate courting the militaries and the other promising to court it ASAP it takes power. Political platform: Money for military interventions, power to NATO, luring young people to fight, kill and destroy while policing the world. Tactics: Candidates abusing euphemism to mislead public opinion. Changes: The eternal demagogy with cyber phrases and cable networks support. All that takes money. But money for education, health, welfare and infrastructure is not affordable in the present conditions. Are this people for real?

 And the American people? Fine thanks

Is Obama a president for the people or just a Republican in disguise?... Republicans love a turn-coat like Ronald Reagan,  from worker's lover to anti-union. And Kissinger and his nazi tactics in war, the max representation of "The end justify the mean". Love and never try to punish, at least like a formalism, the finger pointed republican president Gerald Ford that pardon the biggest treason to American laws. Love money above good, power over reasoning, imperialism above humanity and war over diplomacy. But Obama love the support of republicans. (politic is his career). A man which first month in the government put cash in the hands of powerful (but crying) banks and not in the hands of the people that owed to those institutions. A supreme contradiction even for the softer socialist or leftist in this world.

US soldier kills 18 civilian in Afghanistan

US Soldier Who Allegedly Killed Civilians Flown Out of Afghanistan

Beware of wolves disguised as lambs. A soldier hero is one that defends his/her country against aggressors. Those that invade other people lands, no matter what the media says, are INVADERS as well as those that kill innocents civilians are MURDERERS not HEROES. And above all, the worst kind of soldier is the one that kills his own people just because some superior says so.

A 'Chilean suicide' is the killing of an individual by officials forces making it look like a suicide with the complicity of the press and the coroners. The name derives of a time when, during the Pinochet regime, our media was trying to convince the people, in here and abroad, that the Chilean government was a "democracy"

Few coups in Latin America have received so much international attention as that of Chile in September 1973. Condemnation of Augusto Pinochet and his regime was almost universal (the United States of America of Richard M Nixon and Henry Kissinger was an exception); not just because of the illegality of the action and the brutality that accompanied it, but because Pinochet's coup took place in a democracy, in a country with a long experience of constitutionalism, and because it brought to an end an unusual attempt to create socialism through parliamentary and constitutional means. openDemocracy

The Chicago Boys

Juan Gabriel Valdés, Chile's foreign minister in the 1990s, described the Chile Project as "a striking example of an organized transfer of ideology from the United States to a country within its direct sphere of influence... the education of these Chileans derived from a specific project designed in the 1950s to influence the development of Chilean economic thinking." He emphasised that "they introduced into Chilean society ideas that were completely new, concepts entirely absent from the 'ideas market'". see Pinochet and derivatives in Wikipedia
