I don’t see this being effective at all, unfortunately. It requires honesty and goodwill, which for many nations seems to be much of the time, the opposite.

Distributed networks of people can easily manufacture crystal meth in their basements. This Treaty is unenforceable and therefore useless.

You should change the “Short Name” of the Convention from “Biological Weapons Convention (BWC)” to: “Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)”, to make it consistent with its full title.

Today’s Coal and Oil Was Yesterday’s Biomass!
It should be noted that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both advocate the burning of bio-fuels!! And so does Al Gore! It is a fact that today’s coal and oil was yesterday’s biomass. Evolution of life is the only thing which prevented the Runaway Greenhouse Effect from occurring on the Earth, like it did on Venus, as carbon from volcanoes entered the Earth’s atmosphere from volcanoes, where it was diverted into plant and animal life. The burning of bio-fuels and biomass rather than allowing it to be naturally deposited into the crust of the Earth, releases all that carbon directly into the atmosphere! Those who advocate burning of bio-fuels could be expected to say and are saying in effect: Let’s set fire to more rain forests; “Burn Baby Burn!†Let’s solve the global warming by setting more wildfires to “get green†and become “energy independent!†All presidential candidates advocate expanded use of bio-fuels! Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic trumpets that he’s “going green†and burning bio-fuel in his jumbo jets like there is no tomorrow! Totally disgusting! The burning of “bio-fuel†is one more demonstration that capitalism has a one-way dynamic based on war, mass murder and crime to increase private profits. In this instance the effect of starvation fits in perfectly with the capitalists’ objective of population reduction of Blacks and other People of Color, all the while generating profits for farmers as the driving force for manufacturing the bio-fuels which cost ridiculously more to produce than oil-based fuels. The political objective is driven by supposed economic benefits!
Media-Hyped NASA “Climate Expert†James Hansen is a Government-Controlled False “Opposition†Fraud Who Censors Himself, Covers Up the Reality of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect and Offers Only a Limited and False Solution to Global Warming!
In order to create a false framework of reference of protest for the issue of Global Warming, also euphemistically referred to in delicate Orwellian Newspeak as “climate change†(now the Runaway Greenhouse Effect—which U.S. government and its scientists cover up), the capitalists try to control this issue as they do all issues by putting their own personnel out in front of every issue and running their own government-controlled “opposition†figures as supposed “critics†and “skeptics†of the Regime’s policies. But this phony “opposition†never exposes the core truth that the capitalist system is fundamentally incapable of solving this problem or any major problem having to do with human need. Nor does this phony “opposition†present a practical and realistic program for the solution, even in the face of imminent catastrophe, which the overwhelming majority of scientists do agree confronts the human race as well as all life on this planet. The capitalist media have recently tried to pump up one James Hansen, longtime director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies, as a supposed “opposition†figure who is being censored by the Bush Regime and “‘threatened with dire consequences’ (!) if he continue(s) to call for prompt action to limit emissions of heat-trapping gases linked to global warming.†(New York Times, February 4, 2006.) The reality is that when such threats appear on the front page of the New York Times, the media flagship for world imperialism, or any other capitalist controlled outlet, you can be quite sure it is to falsely legitimize one of their false “opposition†figures, especially when it is obvious that nothing new is being said.
While it is true that the un-elected Bush Tyranny (see below) has indeed demanded that Hansen’s public statements be monitored and censored, the undeniable fact is that James Hansen does not have to be censored by anyone because he censors himself as do all “climatologists†from NASA and all other government agencies, colleges and universities, public and private! All of whom realize that to accurately state the acuteness of the problem, its real timeline and its only solution would result in their immediate unemployment, or worse! See below. Even as late as 2001 this opportunist, phony “expert†Hansen, was briefing Richard Cheney on “his findings showing that cleaning up soot, which also warms the atmosphere was an effective and far easier first step than curbing carbon dioxide.(!)†New York Times, January 29, 2006. Right! In 2001, Hansen recommends putting curbing carbon dioxide emissions on the back burner! And nothing about maximum focus on immediately developing alternative energy sources…like Tidal Power! He even produced a whole hour show for PBS NOVA which diverted focus from the Runaway Greenhouse Effect by focusing on the beneficial effect of global air pollution which is “slowing global warming.†Disgusting! Pathetic! Hansen says that censorship by the NASA Public Affairs Office “has prevented the public from fully grasping recent findings about the climate change that point to risks ahead.†Isn’t he daring? At this late date it sounds more like a soft peddling of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect. Hansen is fully aware of the above-mentioned October 11, 2004 report in the British Guardian and its significance! Yet he says nothing about it and continues to conduct “simulated studies of global warming†similar to the fraudulent papers being churned out by the Carnegie Institution and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in The Journal of Climate. See above.
Previously, James Hansen has only spoken about: “the long term threat from heat trapping emissions.†Only recently, since last December 2005, according to the above Times article, does Hansen complain about “clear cut dangers from further delay in curbing carbon dioxide.†“Clear cut dangers?†Tell us something everyone doesn’t already know, James! The Runaway Greenhouse Effect is NEVER mentioned even after the British Guardian report. The most that James Hansen will say is: “without leadership by the United States (?!), climate change (will) eventually leave the earth ‘a different planet.’†(New York Times, January 29, 2006.) “A different planet?†What a muddle, what a fuzz-job and cover-up! At a symposium at the Albany Law School on April 18, 2006 reported on in the Sierra Atlantic, Vol. 33 Summer 2006, Hansen under pressure of decreasing credibility now goes so far as to say that “the Global Warming Tipping Point is near†(Such euphemism!), which he says will only occur “in the next several years.†He puts it off into the future! Hansen concludes with the Big Lie: “The public, if well informed, has the ability to override the influence of special interests. We need to think again (!) about posterity.†It is very obvious that Hansen’s assignment is to try to control the issue and keep the opposition within the fold of capitalism. He deliberately omits to say that it is capitalism, which has created the problem of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect in the first place, because it is based on private profit not human need and because the oil industry and military industrial are the main forces controlling the capitalist economy and that only a worldwide system based on human need not private profit can possibly reverse the Runaway Greenhouse Effect by reversing the process through the systematic approach described above. This is not rocket science!
The January 29, 2006 New York Times article concludes with the deliberately disingenuous Earth shaking observation: “The question is no longer whether we will need to address this problem, but when we will have to address the problem.†(Gosh, do you think so, really?) This fraudulent (cover-up) “finding†supports the policy of the capitalists’ regime to do nothing, and once again represents the destructive driving force of the dynamic of the capitalist system itself. Particularly sickening and irresponsible are the weather reporters on radio and television who have been instructed to react to the extremely warm weather in the winter and the characteristic extremes in weather conditions, which herald the Fossil Fuels Global Warming and the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, by covering it up, laughingly commenting among themselves and congratulating each other saying how wonderful it is to have such “nice warm days,†never making the sobering connection that the “nice warm weather†we are experiencing is caused by the very same process that caused Hurricane Katrina, Rita and Wilma, and drawing the inescapable conclusion we are experiencing the beginning of the greatest disaster for humankind and all life on Earth, a disaster which will likely effect the lives of all of us if it hasn’t already, a disaster which will result in the end of all life on Earth, a disaster we can avert only if we begin to organize a Socialist Revolution here in the United States. Why should we continue to agree to leave our lives in the hands of capitalist tyranny which is dragging us to disaster?
The media have reported for years that the North Polar icecap has already almost completely disappeared (!). (See above.) The 2 Greenland glaciers’ melting rate has doubled in the last 5 years to 21.6 cubic miles a year. The Western Antarctic Ice Shelf is also both breaking up and melting at a rate of up to 37 cubic miles, or more precisely at a rate of 152 cubic kilometers of ice, a year (!) as is the Permafrost, etc. Complete melting of the Greenland glaciers alone has been calculated to raise the ocean levels by 23 feet! Complete melting of the Western Antarctic ice would raise sea levels by the same amount. Complete melting of all the Greenland and Antarctic land–based ice sheets would raise sea level 80 meters or 262.46 feet, whereas melting of all other glaciers could lead to a sea-level rise of only one-half meter! (See http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs2-00/) It should be understood that once an icesheet starts to disintegrate, it can reach a tipping point beyond which break-up is explosively rapid. Life may very well become unlivable well before that! No life will exist by the time the ocean levels start to decrease due to the evaporation and finally boiling away of all the oceans into the atmosphere! This is the message of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect!
The reason the capitalists gave Al Gore the Nobel Peace Prize was to give him maximum credibility and officially put him in front of the movement to stop and reverse global warming in order that he would be the best position to lead that movement to a dead end and defeat. It should be noted that Henry Kissinger was also given the Nobel Peace Prize in order to try to legitimize that mass murderer in the face of the fact that he and Richard Nixon, for the first 6 years, prosecuted the Vietnam War for 8 years, which killed over 2 million Vietnamese people. The film “An Inconvenient Truth†commissioned by Al Gore was designed to try to control the issue while covering up 1.) the central fact that the Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already begun and, of course, to keep the viewer believing the Big Lie that capitalism can be reformed and the situation can be reversed without a Socialist Revolution in the United States. This is also the truth that is covered up by such phony “opposition†“ad hoc†groups such as “The Turning Point,†which itself is an amalgam of 21 reformist single-issue, anti-Communist groups “environmental groups,†which takes out full-page $50,000.00 dollar ads in the New York Times and issues a litany of go-nowhere complaints that everyone already knows, while they pathetically offer a laundry list of ridiculous reform measures to the capitalists-imperialists, which they falsely claim “might avert disaster.†When they know that to be a Big Lie! It’s totally bizarre! “The Turning Point’s†purpose is also to cover up the fact that the Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already begun while it covers up its significance for the end of all life on Earth. They represent an obstacle to any genuine solution–not an aid because they suppress the fact that a Socialist Revolution is the precondition for genuine social-political-economic change! Capitalism is the Titanic, which is going DOWN. We can not permit ourselves to stand around like irresponsible little children or political Zombies and submit to the beginning of the destruction of all life on Earth, very possibly in our lifetimes, not centuries in the future as the capitalists and the phony “opposition†would like people to falsely believe! We do not have to accept such an outcome! We have to begin to act immediately to call for and to begin to organize a new economic-political-social system based on human need not private profit, meaning we must begin to call for and organize a Socialist Revolution here in the United States.
We must reject and expose the U.S. government’s anti-Communist brainwash, which is based on every conceivable lie and distortion and division on every illegitimate basis in order to cover up the only valid basis of division which is the basis of all capitalist exploitation and super-exploitation—the class basis. As mentioned, anti-Communism has as much basis in truth as the capitalists’ claim that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Anti-Communism is just one Big Lie, which has been allowed to take on a life of its own due primarily to the fact that the government runs its own opposition, as well as the media and the educational system, as well as all of the fake “left.†Anti-Communism has presently disarmed, demoralized and divided and atomized the masses to the state where those who are seriously opposed to virtually all of the policies of capitalism falsely feel that they are powerless and cannot and dare not challenge the capitalist dictatorship itself. But Socialist Revolution has already occurred elsewhere. Careful analysis of why and how a Socialist Revolution took place in Russia will insure success in the United States! The Pre-Condition for a Socialist Revolution in the U.S., as it was in Russia in 1917, is mutiny in the armed forces! The capitalists must be deprived of the ability to send bodies of armed men against the masses. State power must be taken out of the hands of the capitalist class for there to even be a basis to freely discuss and implement solutions to the complex of problems created by capitalism! It should be obvious to most people at this late stage that capitalism has become a dead end. All economic-political-social systems based on forms of slavery have a beginning and an end. This was true of chattel slavery, which had a beginning and an end. It was also true of feudalism, which had a beginning and an end. It is also true of capitalism (wage slavery), which had a beginning and which also will have an end. But we have to bring capitalism to an end through a Socialist Revolution, not by allowing capitalism to follow its own internal dynamic to its own natural end in Fascism, because that will mean the destruction of all life on the Earth e.g. the Runaway Greenhouse Effect has begun! The negatives of capitalism have indeed outweighed the positives for a long time. It’s time to speak openly about this and to begin to discuss the technical aspects of removing the capitalists from state power as we organize a Socialist Revolution here in the United States! This must be our primary focus. Capitalism is a failure. The basis of anti-Communism and how to defeat it is explained further below.
The Capitalist Dictatorship’s Attempt to Falsify the
Age of the Universe to Help Provide False Belief in “godâ€
The capitalists have tried to falsify the actual age of the Universe and the infinite cycle of a Big Bang followed by a Big Crunch, meaning a closed rather than an open universe, because the reality of a closed universe does not fit with the religious brainwash of a single creation and belief in a supernatural fictitious “god.†(The statecraft of capitalism’s alliance with religion and belief in “god†and other superstition is exposed further below.) The reality is that the process of contraction of the Universe begins soon after the Big Bang, which begins the process of expansion. The process of contraction began with the first condensations of gas after the Big Bang. At first the process of expansion is dominant, but the processes of expansion and contraction exist simultaneously from shortly after the Big Bang until finally the process of contraction becomes dominant and all galactic matter is finally drawn into Supermassive Black Holes, which today form the centers of all spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies in the process of becoming spiral galaxies. These Supermassive Black Holes, which are growing larger continuously, finally link up all existing matter of the universe finally at one spot in the Big Crunch, at which time critical mass in the true and ultimate sense is reached for another Big Bang Cycle and the beginning of another Universe. The critical mass density required for the Big Crunch to occur is 1 x 10 to the negative 29th of a gram per cubic centimeter (approximately 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), according to the calculation from the General Theory of Relativity, with neutrinos know known to supply the “missing mass.†(See below.) The fact that the expansion and contraction of the Universe occur simultaneously is one more example of the Law of Unity of Opposites, the Second Law of and Historical Materialism and the correctness of the scientific philosophy of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, as opposed to the false philosophies of idealism and metaphysics, which are the only philosophies permitted to be seriously taught in U.S. colleges and universities, and which form the underlying basis for all phony “cosmological†theory! See further below!
Back Holes Have Mass and a Size Which
Can Be Calculated and Rotate on an Axis!
In addition, in the Big Crunch matter most certainly does NOT collapse to “a single point less than the size of a single molecule,†a totally ridiculous assertion by the so-called “string theorists†(see below) designed to try to discredit the Theory of the Big Bang/Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe. Black Holes are formed exclusively of condensed nuclear material; protons and neutrons (composed of quarks) and electrons (composed of leptons) devoid of their orbits and all motion, all collapsed together. The end point of all matter in the Big Crunch is a Single Black Hole, the so-called “singularity.†All Black Holes have the same mass density which is said to be infinite, but which is no smaller than the mass of all combined nuclear material from all stars or gas contained in the Black Hole as explained above. The only difference is the difference in mass. Please note that while some of the information provided below may appear to be somewhat technical it is necessary for any subsequent challenges which might be made of this dialectical an historical materialist analysis. An educated reader should be able to understand most of it and follow for the most part the explanations which follow, which have in turn have vast political implications. A few key references are provided and the reader can research the area independently.
Black Holes have mass and size just as neutron stars (pulsars) also have mass!! All Black Holes, both Stellar Black Holes and Supermassive Black Holes (the result of combination of millions of solar masses) which form the center of evolving elliptical galaxies and all spiral galaxies, also rotate extremely rapidly just like neutron stars, some of which are estimated to be only 8 to 20 miles in diameter, and rotate in 1.4 milliseconds to 30 seconds! All stars rotate on a central axis to some degree due to the angular momentum of gas approaching the center of the proto-star prior to the ignition of hydrogen fusion. In other words the gravitational collapse of gas in star formation is not uniform just as its opposite, an explosion such as the Big Bang is not uniform. When the radius of the star is reduced drastically in stellar collapse the angular momentum remains the same but the momentum of inertia is sharply reduced. The standard example is that of a figure skater spinning with outstretched arms who speeds up by pulling in his/her arms. Black Holes are formed from the collapse of the largest Blue Giant stars 5 to 20 or more solar masses. Neutron stars are formed from the explosion of stars with 1.35 to 2.1 solar masses in a Type II, Type Ib or Type Ic supernova explosion. The rapid rotation of Supermassive Black Holes is in fact the reason Spiral Galaxies exist in the flattened disk form they do with spiral arms—because of the huge gravitational force exerted by the rapid rotation of Supermassive Black Holes which form their galactic centers! As the rotating Supermassive Black Hole in the galactic center gradually increases in size through accumulation/accretion of more stellar material and gas, the elliptical galaxy, which is in the process of becoming a spiral galaxy, first flattens due to the rapid rotation of the Supermassive Black Hole in its center.
The spiral arms comprised of outlying stars are formed by the combination of the gravitational force coming from the rapidly rotating galactic center and the relative gravitational attraction of one outlying star to another based on their actual distances from one another. As the outlying stars approach neighboring stars due to gravity this leaves other areas where stars are much less concentrated giving rise to the appearance of usually 2 major spiral arms originating from each end of the central bar often found in the galactic center, as well as several minor spiral arms, all of which are actually in the process of being gradually drawn inexorably toward the galactic center. The gravitational force of the Black Hole, the mass of which is steadily increasing, gradually overcomes the outward centripetal force caused by its rapid rotation.
Central bars form after the Supermassive Black Hole in the center of a large spiral reaches a certain size and are therefore found more prevalently in more massive galaxies where the required mass is reached sooner. Central bars form when stellar orbits in a spiral galaxy become unstable and deviate from a circular path. The tiny elongations in the stars’ orbits grow and become locked into place, forming a bar. The bar becomes even stronger as it locks more and more of these elongated orbits into place. Eventually a high fraction of the stars in the galaxy’s inner region join the bar. The galactic center thus attracts both gas and stars. This concentration of gas at the center of spiral galaxies does result in the formation of new stars but does not represent the primary or original source of star formation, which occurs in the beginning of formation of galaxies from gravitational condensation and collapse of primordial gas clouds. The central bars draw a large amount of gas towards the galactic center, fueling this new star formation, building central bulges of stars, and feeding the massive central black hole. The formation of a bar may be one of the last stages in the evolution of a spiral galaxy prior to its eventual total collapse entirely into its central Supermassive Black Hole.
The Hubble Constant is a calculation of the speed at which the universe is expanding and is crucial in calculating the age of the Universe. Four methods have been used to estimate the Hubble Constant and age of the Universe. The most recent method employed by Allan Sandage, et al measures the distances to Type 1a Supernovae explosions in distant galaxies and then confirms those measurements by comparing the relative luminosities of Cepheid variable stars as so-called “standard candles,†while Wendy Freedman’s NASA team uses Cepheid Variable stars alone, which is a lot less accurate. Freedman’s method especially is an easy method in which to either err or to deliberately falsify results as she and her NASA team have clearly done. (See below.) The typical errors in calculating the Hubble Constant include: 1.) “the universal, yet unjustified Period-Luminosity relation of Cepheid (variable stars), 2.) neglect of selection bias in magnitude-limited samples or 3.) the errors are inherent to the adopted models,†which cause most values of the Hubble Constant and corresponding estimates of the age of the Universe to be incorrect as explained in detail in the most comprehensive review which has yet been published, which also includes the Sandage team’s most recent calculation of the Hubble Constant to date of 62.3 +or–1.3, which is based on measurements to 279 galaxies: “The expansion field: the value of the Hubble Constant,†by G.A Tammann, A. Sandage and B. Reindl, Astron Astrophys Rev (2008), 8 July 2008, 15:289-331, DOI 10.1007/s00159-800-9912-y.
This value of the Hubble Constant corresponds to an age of the Universe of approximately 13.7 billion years, which should be sufficient to permit the Big Crunch. However even this method of calculation of the Hubble Constant, which as exhaustively explained and documented by Allan Sandage et al, is fraught with potential errors cited above, which Sandage takes account of and systematically avoids. As mentioned above Wendy Freedman and Co. on the other hand use only Cepheid variable stars in their “calculations†and deliberately include faulty (fraudulent) data in their calculations as explained to this writer personally by Allan Sandage, therefore making Freedman & Co.’s method of determination of the Hubble Constant even easier to falsify. Such data is systematically excluded by Sandage et al. as explained above. In response to the withering but suppressed critique by Sandage et al, known primarily only to other astrophysicists who follow these matters, Freedman has published a slew of pathetic papers addressing such topics as “correction of errors involving optical extragalactic background light (EBL), sampling-induced errors, magnitude errors, and random and optimal sampling,†etc. where she always comes up with ridiculously high (fraudulent) values for the Hubble Constant. Fraudulent data was necessary for Freedman & Co. to reinvent the entirely fictitious so-called “dark energy,†Einstein’s “Cosmological Constant,†(“My greatest blunder!†See below), which is declared to be “the opposite of gravity†and which has no scientific explanation whatsoever but is proffered as “the reason†the capitalist dictatorship and its media (and textbook) propagandists now say that the expansion of the Universe has unexplainably “speeded up,†a “finding†which violates all previous findings not to mention all known rules of physics including the General Theory of Relativity! In other words this finding is totally invented, totally fabricated, a Big Lie to end all Big Lies! All designed to achieve political-religious-propagandistic objectives. See below. Legitimate opposing viewpoints are simply ignored and in practice not permitted to be heard! How jolly!
Regarding the most recent results given above for the Hubble Constant, this writer would still prefer to accept Sandage’s previous calculation of 55 +or-5, which has been repeatedly established in papers from 1975, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1995, although it may certainly be possible that the 62.3 +or-1.3 value is the most accurate and it is certainly can be argued that 55 +or-5 is not that far removed from the new figure. The reason for this caution is that Allan Sandage is now 82 years old and although he is 100% intellectually intact and in control of all of his faculties his name is listed second in the above paper indicating that he himself may not have collected the data used in the calculation giving 62.3 +or-1.3 for the Hubble Constant. I have not spoken or corresponded with the other members of his team, which also includes A. Saha who was not included in the above paper, as I have with Allan Sandage, so I can not rule out alteration of the raw data to give a falsely high Hubble Constant by certain personnel who might be bribed by the NASA forces in charge of the Key Project, which was set up determined to achieve a certain result come hell or high water. This issue is important enough to the capitalist dictatorship so that they would leave no stone unturned to tweek the results in their direction for reasons explained further below.
The U.S. so-called “intelligence community†organized the so-called “Key Project†in order to cover up the cyclic nature of the Universe from Big Bang to Big Crunch. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was built primarily for the “Key Project.†This is an important point. The capitalist dictatorship chose Wendy Freedman to lead the project rather than the obvious choice, Allan Sandage, the legendary, most preeminent and world-renowned astrophysicist as well as the number one authority on the Hubble Constant along with his internationally renowned group of astrophysicist colleagues. See above. The reason was that Sandage’s studies up to that point had shown the universe to be “between 14 and 18 billion years old, depending on what is assumed about the mass of the universe.†This corresponds to a Hubble Constant, which he and colleagues had repeatedly calculated to be 55 +or-5 as cited above. An older age, of course, would mean that the Universe contained easily enough matter to permit the Big Crunch, which is the key point the capitalist propagandists want to discredit because that would rule out a single creation and make the existence of a god, for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever, even more unlikely! This is the actual statecraft behind the “Key Project.†See further below.
Freedman’s initial claim that the Universe was only 8 billion years old was obviously fraudulent, as have been all of her subsequent “estimations.†All of Freedman’s estimations of the age of the universe and the Hubble Constant have been designed to try to fraudulently invalidate (!) the Big Bang, the Big Crunch especially and the cyclic nature of the Universe in particular. The preposterous claim of an 8 billion year age is a direct attack on the Big Bang, which has been verified worldwide. In her initial unrestrained enthusiasm to falsify and misinterpret her own data (see above) Freedman forgot about the 1.) Red shift discovered by Edwin Hubble (see below) and 2.) the detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is the residual effect of the Big Bang both of which exist as irrefutable evidence for the Big Bang origin of the Universe! Anyone using simple inductive reasoning would immediately begin to smell a rat! The capitalist dictatorship has a long history of political meddling and sabotage in virtually all fields of scientific and medical research and a history of using scientific advances against the masses in order to control them and also to reduce the population according to their own perceived needs, e.g. from Bio-warfare to Bio-fuels (through enforced starvation). In January 2003 Freedman was made the Director of the Carnegie Observatories located in Pasadena, California where Allan Sandage works thereby placing her above him as a maneuver to make her fraudulent estimates of the Hubble Constant appear more authoritative in the public eye!
There is no such thing as “Dark Energy†and the Universe has not suddenly increased its rate of expansion as falsely claimed by these frauds. Just the opposite! The rate of expansion of the Universe has continued to slow! All previous studies have indicated that is the case. The universe is not open. It is NOT flat! It is closed. In reality there are no “worm holes.†For worm holes to exist just within the known universe would require changing space-time topology and regions of negative energy, which does not actually exist. There are no “strings.†“string theory†is a mathematical attempt to try to refute and supplant, not explain, the Theory of Quantum Mechanics the foundations of which were established during the first half of the twentieth century by Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Albert Einstein, etc.! See below for the most likely solution to the Grand Unified Theory.
It should also be noted that although we may be able to receive light from galaxies which started its journey virtually at the beginning of the Universe, that light does not portray the reality at this point in time of that galaxy which was the source of that light. The reality is that most of the universe is undoubtedly relatively uniform in its development today except where there are huge clouds of gas from super novae explosions and where there are huge accumulations of matter such as the Great Wall of galaxies, the latter of which formed due to the irregularities which occurred in the Big Bang just as in any other explosion. In other words the light from our own galaxy, the Milky Way, would appear to be receding from the most distant galaxies at the same rate that their light is receding from our own galaxy! This should be a no-brainer but is rarely if ever mentioned. The only point of view which is ever mentioned is from the Earth as if it were the center of creation.
The Fact That Neutrinos Have Mass Provides Basis
For the Big Crunch and Totally Refutes “String Theory!â€
The false claim that there is supposedly “insufficient Dark Matter†to permit the Big Crunch to take place is entirely refuted by the discovery that neutrinos have mass! This fact was first reported on July 1, 1998 by a collaboration of 120 U.S. and Japanese physicists at the Neutrino 98 meeting in Takayama, Japan and submitted to Physical Review Letters. (By Super-Kamiokande Collaboration (Y. Fukuda et al.) Phys.Rev.Lett.81:1562-1567,1998.) Neutrinos have sufficient weight to allow the Big Crunch! The experiment measured the differences in mass of the three types of neutrinos to be 0.1 eV or greater. The group reported that the simplest interpretation of the solar and atmospheric results is that the heaviest neutrino has a mass of 0.1 eV. However, they reported that since oscillations between the 3 types of neutrinos depend only on the differences in mass it is possible that the masses of all three neutrinos are fully 1 eV or greater, but that it is the mass differences which are much smaller. (They allow for the “possibility.†How nice! They know that the majority of physicists do not simply automatically accept the interpretation which is proffered.)
This makes the most sense and is of course suppressed for political reasons. (See below.) If the mass of the neutrino is 1 eV that would mean that neutrinos account for more mass in the universe than all of the protons and neutrons put together easily supplying the dark matter necessary for the Big Crunch. The critical mass density required for the Big Crunch to occur is 1 x 10 to the negative 29th of a gram per cubic centimeter (approximately 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), according to the calculation from the General Theory of Relativity. In addition, the fact that neutrinos have mass also provides the basis for the Grand Unified Theory which links the gravitational force described in the General Theory of Relativity with the strong and the weak forces and electromagnetism described in the Theory of Quantum Mechanics. Einstein struggled and failed to formulate this theory, but it has already been shown that at high enough energies electromagnetism and the weak force are the same force known as the electroweak force. It is theorized that if energies are increased even further and neutrinos acquire mass, which has now been fully documented, all the known forces will reduce to the same force thus providing the basis for the Grand Unified Theory. Instead these facts are de-emphasized with the false claim that “no one—not even Einstein—has been able formulate the Grand Unified Theory†in order to try to open the door to fraudulent “string theory.†The 1998 report that neutrinos have mass was blipped in the media and then neutrino research was de-funded worldwide and thereafter suppressed for a period of time. Wonder why?? It is time to employ some inductive reasoning, which is in fact scientific reasoning.
The Big Crunch will arrive on schedule and another universe will begin! Einstein once said that a theory of the universe should be both simple and elegant. He would definitely be rolling over in his grave if he were made aware of today’s totally contrived “science†especially the attempt by these fakers to re-introduce his fudge factor, the so-called “cosmological constant,†which Einstein invented/fabricated to allow for a static solution to his equations, which he was later forced to admit was false after the discovery of the Redshift by Edwin Hubble, which occurs when light or any type of electromagnetic radiation from distant galaxies shifts toward longer wavelengths, the less energetic part of the spectrum, due to the Doppler effect, thus indicating that those galaxies are moving away from our galaxy, the Milky Way (and vice versa) and that the Universe is (still) expanding (while it is also simultaneously contracting on another level—see below). (The Redshift in light from receding galaxies is proportional to their distance from Earth. That is Hubble’s Law.)
The false assumption of a static universe had prevented Einstein from predicting that the universe was expanding. Einstein admitted that the “cosmological constant†was his “biggest blunder.†(In December 1930 Einstein went to Cal Tech on a visiting professorship where he worked with Edwin Hubble and reportedly also apologized for his error.) In 1998 the U.S. so-called “intelligence community,†directed their fleet of fake “cosmologists†and some opportunist and duped astrophysicists to try to pass off Einstein’s fraudulent cosmological constant as the entirely fictitious and admittedly totally unexplained so-called “dark energy,†(!) AKA “quintessence, “ which is supposedly responsible for a supposed “speeding up of the rate of expansion of the Universe,†which is NOT in fact actually occurring. This rubbish has even been forced into advanced textbooks in astrophysics as good coin. The reason for these wholesale falsifications of astrophysics is due to the capitalists’ desperation to establish a false basis to claim that the Universe supposedly had a single creation and that it will expand infinitely rather than collapse once again in the Big Crunch completing another cycle in an infinite number. The U.S. governments’ position more easily allows for the existence of a “god†as “the creator.â€
The reason that the capitalists have formed an alliance with religion is that the capitalists depend on religion, belief in god and the supernatural as important weapons of deception directed against the masses! This also helps explain the appearance of fraudulent so-called “string theory†which postulates multiple universes, eleven dimensions, rather than the 4 dimensions which actually do measurably exist. Stephen Hawking the ego-tripping, media-hyped “cosmologist†also postulated supposed “wormholes from one universe to another†as well as supposed “wormholes†from one end of our universe to the other to permit time travel “faster than the speed of light†(both of which are completely refuted by Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. While Hawking retreated on being so reminded, Heisenberg is brazenly ignored by other professional police-agent propagandists who are committed to such Big Lies of confusion such as the New York Times’ despicable Dennis Overbye (Oy!), Brian Greene and WBAI’s huckster Michio Kaku, who incidentally also covers up the fact that AIDS is Biowarfare by the U.S. Government Against Blacks and Gays primarily and tries to confuse his trusting, credulous listeners (and even students!) on innumerable other issues. The bottom line is that the capitalists want the masses to believe in a god—any god—even though there is no scientific basis whatsoever to support belief in a god (precisely the opposite)—because, to the extent that they believe in god, those who do believe in god believe that what happens in the world, including both natural events and political events, happens according to god’s will! The reality is that natural events occur due to the natural laws of science, physics and evolution, and what happens in world political events is due primarily to the decisions and actions of the U.S.-led world capitalist dictatorship, which still dominates world events! In the mind of the believer, god and the capitalist dictatorship—the capitalist government—become one! The capitalist government becomes god in the mind of the believer! This is pretty strong stuff and is what Karl Marx meant when he described religion as the opiate of the masses. Such false belief patterns of believers in god blunt the thrust for revolutionary change. Revolutionary change requires an absolutely scientific, objective and logical analysis of political events, political contradiction and political history, in order to learn how to carry out effective social change, meaning Socialist Revolution here in the United States and worldwide!
The Scientific Basis of Atheism:
The Origin of Matter is an Unknowable!
The capitalist dictatorship would have the masses believe that there is no limit on humankind’s knowledge, that everything is knowable and that everything was created by god. But this is false; there is a limit on knowledge and there is no god. Because of the fact that we exist as part of the Universe we can not exit the Universe, stand outside it and declare that a god, much larger than we are naturally but of course in our own image, who naturally is usually white and always male never female, created the Universe. The corollary is that the origin of matter is an unknowable! The false claim of supposed “wormholes†by the string theorists of course is a way to try to condition peoples’ minds to believe that they can do the opposite and exit the Universe, and is designed to set up the belief patterns for belief in god. (And while you’re at it, after you have exited the Universe don’t forget to check out “god,†he’s right over there. Right near that wormhole you just crawled out of!) Modern science has answered virtually all questions except one: the origin of matter. This is an unknowable. What is knowable is the cyclic nature of the Universe and the evolution of life, which is inevitable given basic necessary conditions. See above. Today religion and god continue to be invoked by the capitalist dictatorship to explain both the origin of life, matter and the existence of the Universe, rather than simply agreeing that certain things are unknowable. The reason is that the capitalist dictatorship uses religion to control the masses is explained above.
The original basis for belief in god (multiple gods initially) and religion was due to humankind’s inability to explain natural events and life itself. Primitive society had to have an explanation for what could not yet be explained scientifically. The philosophy of antiquity was primitive, spontaneously evolved materialism (Engels), which found its expression in polytheism where various gods were invented in the minds of primitive peoples, which were thought to control different areas of life: There was a sun god, a moon god, a weather god(s) thought to control rain, thunder and lightning, a god for earthquakes, a god of the seas, a god for day, a god for night and in some societies a god to control almost every aspect of life. Polytheism however was incapable of clearing up the relation between mind and matter. As Engels explains: “the need to get clarity on this question led to the doctrine of a soul separable from the body, then to the assertion of the immortality of this soul, and finally to monotheism.†As humankind’s thought gradually advanced and natural events acquired scientific explanations, polytheism gave way to monotheism. The old materialism was therefore negated by idealism. But in the course of the further development of philosophy, idealism, too, has become untenable in a practical sense and has been negated by modern Dialectical and Historical Materialism, presently tightly suppressed by the capitalist dictatorship.
Prior to the development of modern materialism, which serves as the basis for this analysis, and existing simultaneously with its development, organized religion formed pacts with the existing power structures, pacts which have spanned the entire sequence of civilization from the primitive slave societies of Egypt, Greece and Rome to the feudalism-based monarchies of Europe to today’s rapidly hardening war-based capitalist dictatorship. When the French Monarchy and the nobility were overthrown in the French Revolution the Catholic Church was first rejected as a competing center of power but then embraced as indispensable by the emerging bourgeoisie, which emerged victorious under Napoleon Bonaparte when it became clear that the peasantry, which had carried out the revolution could not organize or wield power. The bourgeoisie quickly realized that religion was necessary to control the masses as under the Monarchy and signed the Concordat of 1801 that reestablished the Catholic Church in France but with reduced influence. This has continued into the modern day where the capitalist dictatorship uses the belief in god and religion to blunt the thrust for revolutionary change as explained above. NAZI Germany also signed the Reichskonkordat in 1933 with the Catholic Church and similar agreements with the protestant churches in Germany, which were an important step in international acceptance of the NAZIs. Today the capitalists work overtime to keep alive the belief in a “supreme being,†taking advantage of man’s arrogance and insistence to be able to explain everything. As mentioned above humankind cannot exit the universe and is limited in this way. In the same way the origin of matter is also thus unknowable. The scientific basis of atheism includes but is not limited to the knowledge of the Special Theory of Relativity, The General Theory of Relativity, The Theory of Quantum Mechanics, the Big Bang/Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe, the origin of life through the Primordial Soup Theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey and Darwin’s Theory of Evolution Through Natural Selection. This scientific basis of life and the universe does not hold a place for a god. The capitalists’ propagandists try to keep the false idea of a god alive by claiming that science and religion are not incompatible. But they are incompatible! There is no scientific basis for belief in a god and the religious Fascists know it very well. That is why they wage a continuous never-ending battle against science in the classroom. The capitalists also front large organizations such as the John Templeton Foundation and the Stanford Templeton Research Institute for Nature, God and Science (STRINGS) to try to reconcile religion and belief in god. Good grief! Don’t be fooled for a second!
Religious superstition can play no constructive role in either in genuinely progressive thought or the process of organizing a Socialist Revolution in the United States. On the other hand the Socialist Revolution, while it does not support religion, permits no crushing of any religion nor does it not pit one religion against another as the capitalists do routinely as part of their strategy of divide and conquer. This is what the capitalists are doing in Iraq right now as part of their strategy of divide and conquer. The future of religion will be determined by an open long-term debate over time in a revolutionary evolving society and the strength of scientific evidence in addition to the polemics carried out by proponents of all religions as well as the proponents of atheism and Dialectical and Historical Materialism.
The Legal Basis To Abolish Capitalism Exists and is Compelling!
Although it is not actually necessary let us examine the legal basis for the alternative to capitalism, although that is not actually a requirement to carry out a Socialist Revolution in the United States: First of all, there is no founding document which enshrines capitalism as the permanent economic-political-social system for the United States! On the contrary, the primary founding document of the United States, The Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson and signed by all of the so-called “founding fathers†is actually a transitional document which provides for and authorizes a Socialist Revolution in the United States. A Socialist Revolution in the United States is the only prudent and appropriate response to the domestic and international tyranny, oppression and threat to human civilization and indeed all life on Earth, which the United States Capitalist Class Dictatorship today subjects the entire world! (And which will not change one iota under an Obama or Clinton regime!) All the so-called “founding fathers†signed this document, which states: “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of (the unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness) it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness†and “…when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government and to provide new Guards for their future security.†In no way could this language possibly be interpreted to mean to simply hold new “elections†under capitalism—as falsely claimed by political police agent provocateur Ralph Nader, when it is clear that the problems have all been created by the capitalist system itself. “Alter†in this instance does mean first to try to reform capitalism, which is tried with each new capitalist election, but the one-way dynamic of capitalism (see below) combined with the absence of the Soviet Union as a counter-force, the effectiveness of which was weakening even prior to the 1988 Soviet surrender (see below) makes that now impossible as history has demonstrated. (“Reform†when used by the capitalists themselves is a euphemism, which invariably means escalating their war against the Working Class, middle-income earners and the Poor. “Form of Government†in this context refers to the class structure of the state, not to electing different capitalist politicians. The document calls for laying new foundation and principles, which in today’s context means to organize a new type of state and society on a different basis of class ownership based on ownership and control by the Working Class, which is the only possible means to actually achieve the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence. Abolishing the capitalist dictatorship is the only correct approach and that is what the Declaration of Independence demands once certain conditions have been met. Those conditions have been met.
Ralph Nader, who has also entered the 2008 “race,†is in his actions 100% aligned with the capitalist dictatorship (see below), and lies through his teeth and makes specious argument when he falsely claims: “Thomas Jefferson believed that when you lose your government, you’ve got to go into the electoral arena. A Jeffersonian revolution (!) is needed in this country. All we can do is try to loosen it up, challenge it, bring it to account in some court cases and build for the future. We can also keep an exciting, practical, progressive agenda before the American people — get more people to run for local, state and national office.” Emphasis added. Jefferson never said any such thing! Nader falsely and absurdly claims that a presidential election is a “Jeffersonian Revolution.†It is very clear by these statements that Nader’s objective is to use the deception of the presidential “elections†try to keep dissenters within the framework of the capitalist dictatorship. Elections are held every 4 years in any case so Jefferson and his founding father co-signers were certainly not speaking about elections.
The basic question of every revolution is that of state power. The state is nothing more than a machine for suppressing one class by another. Unless this question is thoroughly understood there can be no intelligent participation in the revolution, not to speak of guidance of the revolution. Although the capitalist regime today is composed largely of Fascists and proto-Fascists we do not yet have Fascism in the United States. We have Rule By Decree, technically known as Bonapartism, in the form of a bureaucratic-military police state. This is further explained below. What is most important to understand is that capitalism is a class dictatorship based on the fact that the capitalists own the means of production, the factories, the land, the banks, the military, the media (a privatized arm of the U.S. government’s so-called “intelligence communityâ€), the educational system, where the state begins the brainwash of the youth. Children who become the brainwashed adults are forced to pledge allegiance to the rapidly hardening capitalist dictatorship, which is falsely labeled “a democracy,†a Big Lie constantly repeated everywhere by the capitalist dictatorship. The youth are limited in their instruction to blindly memorize and regurgitate “factsâ€â€”many of which are lies, but to receive little to no instruction in inductive reasoning and dialectical thinking, which is absolutely required to understand the meaning and significance of the “facts†which they learn, to debate their truthfulness and most importantly to help organize the masses in their own self-interest to carry out a Socialist Revolution in the United States. The capitalists’ objective is to try to ensure that the masses remain forever as children and to later be ready to fanatically fight and die in war for the capitalists’ interests only—never their own interests! A Socialist Revolution will abolish the basis for all wars.
Finally, the capitalists own and operate the entire political process with their 2 parties, parties which of course represent only capitalist interests. Even under a parliamentary system such as in France, Italy or England the capitalists run all of the parties including those that falsely claim to be “Communist†and “Socialist†and largely orchestrate all outcomes of the elections. For example, in the most recent French “election†Segolene Royal and the Socialist Party deliberately self-sabotaged the election in order to enable the election of the Fascist Nicolas Sarkozy in order to spearhead the capitalists’ objective to reduce and ultimately remove the social programs and public education in France, and the Socialist Party was rewarded for its treachery with multiple portfolios in the Sarkozy government! In addition, all of the U.S. presidential “election†outcomes are rigged in advance, and have been ever since Watergate. (See further below.) When the manipulated outcome sought by the capitalists has not occurred as in the 2000 and 2004 “elections,†where the masses nevertheless elected the Democrat Al Gore and the Democrat John Kerry despite deliberate self-sabotage by those candidates and media sabotage of their campaigns (see below), the election results were simply overthrown completely in what is a continuing coup d’etat in the United States. George Bush is therefore not “the president.†Bush is a usurper. The coup d’etat of 2000-2004 represents a total breakdown in the capitalists’ illusion of “democracy†and will not change with the 2008 “election†of Obama. The entire sham “election process†is carried out in order to generate high interest to make it seem to be “a real nail biter,†“a real horse race,†“a real cliff-hanger†in order to bamboozle, hornswoggle, hoodwink, flim-flam and deceive the masses in every conceivable way into falsely thinking that the outcome will change their lives in any appreciable way. It will not! The reality is that the masses have no horse in this race! It is a fact that no candidate for president even offers or suggests or even mentions a new system based on human need not private profit, which the majority of Americans, when given that choice say they want! The capitalist “elections†exist precisely to try to prevent that choice from ever becoming a reality! All candidates offer only a continuation of the capitalist dictatorship. For Obama, Clinton and McCain, and all politicians and pundits all issues actually reduce to one single question only: how best to preserve capitalism-imperialism. That is the reality! At an earlier point in history capitalism created a revolutionary break with feudalism and introduced great advancement in production. But today capitalism-imperialism in its final end stage has proved to have no viable future and now threatens all life on Earth. We need a new system based on human need not private profit simply in order to survive. Even the capitalists have no future under capitalism! And many capitalists are acutely aware of this fact!
The dynamic of capitalism leads inexorably to a constantly hardening capitalist dictatorship finally ending in Fascism, barbarism and the end of civilization. Obama cannot reverse that dynamic and he does not want to. In practice Obama was supported by McCain, Bush and in practice even by Rupert Murdoch of the New York Post, etc. Everyone except the ultra-right, who will be brought into line for the most part as Obama takes his figurehead position for the capitalist dictatorship. Today, the capitalists rule essentially by decree in a form of bureaucratic, military-police dictatorship (technically designated Bonapartism) where the un-elected Fascist usurper Bush routinely openly attached a Signing Statement to the bottom of any legislation which he signed, stating that the Executive Branch of government could interpret the legislation in any way it sees fit! (New York Times, January 16. 2006. p. A11.) Obama may do the same in certain cases! Bush has already issued 100 “Signing Statements.†This is the reason that Bush did not have to issue a single veto until July 2006. (See also New York Times lead editorial, May 5, 2006.) Even thought the Democrats took control of Congress in the 2006 Midterm “elections†Bush rarely had to resort to using a veto because the reality is that the Democrats were not that far away from the Republicans in most policies, and the candidates that people voted for as Democrats were all chosen by right-wing Democrats Rahm Emmanuel, now Obama’s Chief of Staff and Charles Schumer. The masses thought that the 2006 Midterm Election was going to be referendum on the War on Iraq, but were quickly put in their place, when Bush proposed “the Surge†rather than bringing the troops home and implemented that Troop Escalation, supporting Bush not the U.S. masses. See above. The capitalists are powerless to control the hardening dynamic of capitalism. The system controls the capitalists; the capitalists and politicians do not control the system. Capitalism generates the scum and the scoundrels such as Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, the Clintons, Obama, the Bloombergs, the Ferrers, the Sharptons, the Spitzers, etc.
It should be noted that it was the liberals (a capitalist tendency) who called for and carried out the de-certification of TWU Local 100 because of the December 2005 Transit Strike, until the most recent promise by the police-agent provocateur TWU Union “president†Roger Toussiant to “never go on strike again in the future (!).†It should be noted also that the Taylor Law is unconstitutional according to the Thirteenth Amendment, which forbids slavery and involuntary servitude of any type. It is not possible to have an “illegal strike†when you have an illegal law! Toussaint and the fake so-called “opposition within TWU Local 100†deliberately kept silent about that and deliberately never built a case with the riders that all workers’salaries are in fact based on the union pay scale as their reference and that the transit workers were not striking just for themselves and all union workers, but actually for all workers in New York City and the United States! Toussaint deliberately carried out a campaign designed to discredit the strike in the minds of New Yorkers. The Transport Workers Strike was thus a set up in order to lead the workers into a trap. The strike could have succeeded easily if the union had carried out the strike as explained above. The TWU was founded by Communist Mike Quill, who incidentally told the courts in 1966: “let the judges drop dead in their long black robes,†winning every demand for his workers in the 1966 transit strike, where there was incidentally no billion dollar surplus as in 2005! Just like Bush, Obama will use also Executive Orders to reverse some Bush policies, as Bush did to Clinton in 2001, but this time it will be done in order to win popular support and then with a veto-proof Congress Obama & Co.will rule largely by decree as the capitalist class scrambles to try to save their system while it implements the oppressive policies, which Bush could not implement because he was the most hated and reviled “president†(actually usurper) in U.S. history. Obama is nothing but a con man for the capitalist dictatorship! See below.
Republicans as well as Democrats cover up their role in Rule By Decree by the Executive branch: “The inherent power (of the executive) argument, if you take it to the natural conclusion, there is no role for Congress in a time of war.†New York Times, February 10, 2006. “Time of war?†This statement by Lindsey Graham covers up the fact that Congress rubber stamps virtually all decrees by the capitalist dictatorship, of which it forms an integral part. Under Bush it was completely overridden in practice whenever necessary with the signing statements, or if necessary but almost never by the Bush veto! The capitalist dictatorship will harden under Obama not soften. Whether or not he has a filibuster-proof Congress or not is irrelevant! Capitalism cannot be reformed through elections, “voting reform†or in any other way. In fact today the word “reform†is simply a nebulous sounding codeword, like Gorbachev’s “Perestroika,†generally used by the capitalists with the understood meaning to be an attack on the Working Class, middle-income earners and the Poor. So-called “Social Security Reform†is just one example. (See below.) It is absolutely vital that we establish a new economic-political-social system based on human need not private profit. That system is Socialism and it cannot be “elected†under capitalism. The answer to failed capitalism is not more capitalism. It’s Socialism! That can only come about through a Socialist Revolution here in the United States, where the capitalists are relieved of their ownership of the military—first and foremost, the means of production, the factories, the land, the banks, the media, the educational system and the entire political process. Possession or acquisition of huge material wealth by the few automatically means misery, poverty, exploitation and super-exploitation of the masses, the overwhelming majority. Today the main topic of conversation and focus among progressive people must be the strategy, tactics and technical means of achieving a Socialist Revolution in the United States, not “brainstorming†to reform capitalism or begging the capitalist tyranny to please be nice and “Bring Home The Troops†as they tighten the screws on their dictatorship by the day. See below.
U.S. Presidential Elections Were Rigged in Advance Even Prior to the 2000-2004 CoupD’Etat
By the Bush Regime, which Fundamentally Altered the U.S. Capitalist Dictatorship,
Hardening its Dictatorship with Aid and Full Cooperation of Democratic Party Leadership!
The “presidential elections†have been staged every 4 years with the outcome decided upon in advance by agreement between the candidates themselves ever since the removal of Nixon in Watergate. In this respect it has been similar to TV Wrestling. It is a fact of capitalist statecraft that policies, programs including wars may be carried out more easily under one party than another because of the difference in constituency support of the 2 parties. If certain policies and programs are carried out under the wrong party
November 20th, 2008 - 14:16
If certain policies and programs are carried out under the wrong party that can result in loss of constituency support for that party and work to undermine the illusion of “democracy†in what is actually a hardening capitalist dictatorship in the United States. In order to achieve the agreed upon election outcome the candidate who has agreed to take a fall invariably makes some deliberate “mistakes†of commission or omission, similar to shooting himself in the foot, which is focused on by the media to provide a basis to vote against that candidate. The media moves in hard to make the point and cover-up other information which otherwise might lead to a contrary result. There have been many variations on this theme since Watergate. This approach, which has now become vastly simplified with the introduction of computerized/touch-screen voting machines, has also required the use of “Third Party†candidates, which have been used to split the election so the chosen candidate is able to win. Up to the 2004 “election†this has been necessary to overcome the natural “advantage†of an incumbent president or party. The candidates chosen for the staged presidential elections are in full agreement with the principal that the interests of the capitalist system supercede their own personal goals and aggrandizement. This has been the case ever since Watergate, the bloodless removal of Nixon by the Nelson Rockefeller faction in 1974. (As a matter of record “Seconds in Command at the FBI†such as Mark Felt do not bring down governments!) The assassinations of the 1960’s had become much too messy and created unnecessary cover-up problems for the capitalist system, putting it on the defensive. This was in addition to the direct threat that Nelson Rockefeller felt from Richard Nixon, who had previously assassinated John Kennedy in 1963, Robert Kennedy in 1968 and also shot George Wallace out of the race in 1972, because if Wallace had been healthy and not a paraplegic due to the bullet directed by Richard Nixon he would have split the right-wing vote and the Democrats would have won. In addition, Nelson Rockefeller knew that Nixon had apparently assassinated former president Lyndon Johnson, who had been photographed after left office and grew his hair long like a hippie and smoked marihuana and was considered a “bad role model.†In addition, Johnson or Nixon who used Dealey Plaza “trampsâ€/later “Watergate Burglars†CIA assassins E. Howard Hunt and Frank Fiorini Sturgis to assassinate JFK apparently also may have had a hand along with then president Johnson and FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover in the assassination of Adlai Stevenson, perennial presidential candidate and a well-known and highly respected leader in the Democratic Party in London on July 14, 1965 after stating that he was taking a position against the Vietnam War and would return to the United States and play a leading role in order to bring the war to an end. Stevenson was assassinated by the Nixon-directed CIA “wet section†with a gun which shoots a capsule of either shellfish toxin or VX liquid nerve gas (which penetrates right through normal clothing) either of which will kill a person within 2 minutes after touching the skin. (Stevenson supposedly suffered a “heart attack†while on a London street.) Rockefeller forced this gun to be brought out in the 1976 Rockefeller Hearings where its use was described in full, but not its targets. This fact is now covered up on the Internet.
Kerry Actually Won the 2004 Election in a Landslide!
In 2004 Kerry actually won the “election†by upward of a million votes or more, perhaps much more, just as Gore won by at least 500,000 votes in 2000. Kerry was way ahead on the Exit Polls up until late afternoon on Election Day. Exit Polls are nearly always within one percentage point of actual U.S. election results. CBS, NBC and ABC did not carry out Exit Polls because the discrepancy of so many Exit Poll results having Kerry way ahead would be too glaring a contradiction with the planned election outcome, which the government intended to announce, namely a “Bush victory.†Instead Edison International and Mitofsky International alone carried out Exit Polls. In the Nov 5, 2004 New York Times and on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer also on Nov 5th, Warren Mitofsky, CEO of that company, stated that when he discovered that the results showing Kerry far ahead by millions of votes had gotten out on the Internet on Election Day, he cancelled the Exit Polls and thereafter reported “only the official election results,†which suddenly put Bush ahead by millions of votes! This Simply Does Not Compute! And contrary to the orchestrated campaign of lies to the contrary it most certainly had nothing to do with false claims such as “the median age of the surveyors, 34, which over-represented young voters, who tended to vote for Kerry.†(!) New York Times, January 20, 2005. The CEO of Diebold Walden O’Dell stated in a mailing that he would “do everything in his power to make sure that Bush was re-elected President.†(Of course, Bush is not president and never was president. He remains a usurper.) And Florida, which had been going to Kerry BIG by well over a million votes was, few hours later conceded to Bush. (!)
The same for Ohio, and in the Ohio recount Kerry and the Democratic leadership, under pressure from their hapless duped constituents, agreed to demand a recount, but assured the Republicans in advance that “no matter what the outcome the Democratic Party did NOT intend to challenge the election outcome!†There were tens of millions, not millions, of new voters in the 2004 “elections.†The registrations and votes of a large percentage of them were simply thrown out, vaporized. The election process in both Ohio and Florida was controlled by the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party leadership cooperated fully just as they did in 2000 and 2004, in a consolidation of what has been and is in fact an ongoing Coup D’Etat. Ralph Nader’s role in splitting the opposition to Bush especially in Florida where in 2000, according to the New York Times, he reportedly drew 93,837 votes and helped assure a Bush “victory†was not as important in 2004 because his 2000 role was exposed under pressure primarily originating from Communist elements. In addition, two-thirds of the 2004 U.S. presidential “elections†were carried out on computerized touch-screen voting machines. This was where Bush was given his fictitious “3½ million vote lead.†If the Democratic Party was serious which it is not, it would demand vote by paper ballot as in Canada and Europe, for example, where there is a much higher population density and it is realized that it is much easier to stuff an electronic/touch screen computerized voting machine than a paper ballot box, which the masses insist on! Not a “paper trailâ€â€”paper ballots! This was the objective, the reason computerized touch-screen voting machines were installed in the first place. With this weapon the throwing of presidential elections has now become a piece of cake. The vote-splitting assistance of a pumped up 3rd party candidate, used since Watergate to split the elections for one candidate or another, is hardly necessary anymore, except as a distraction or protest vote by those who are more easily duped. Because of this coup d’etat Bush is not “president†of the United States. He is actually a usurper and should always be referred to as such.
The survival of civilization as we will see below, therefore depends on carrying out a Socialist Revolution here in the United States, which will then follow automatically, almost simultaneously worldwide because there will be no more center of world capitalism-imperialism. (See toward the conclusion of this Analysis and Theses—The Dialectical and Historical World View.) The wisest course of action for the masses is to totally abandon all voting in the presidential and congressional “elections†while putting their energy instead into actually calling for and organizing a new system based on human need not private profit. It is absolutely crucial to reject completely the capitalists’ Primary Weapon of Deception—their Presidential “Elections.†Voting means that you have been neutralized by the capitalist dictatorship and still are entertaining the notion, or are willing at some level to “hope†that capitalism can be reformed, which is simply not possible. Capitalism can never be turned into a system based on human need! Private profit and human need are mutually exclusive. As explained below humankind simply does not have the time for any more games of “hope†in capitalism.
The capitalist dictatorship in the United States is hardening by the day, which is obvious to even the casual observer. This is due to the natural dynamic or development sequence of capitalism, a dialectic which is largely independent of the wills of the individual capitalists and the capitalist politicians themselves. The politicians who rise to the top in the hardening capitalist dictatorship are those who express and further this one-way dynamic! That includes Obama and Clinton and Biden. And obviously this applies to the openly Fascist Republicans. The capitalists can not change that reality! That’s why “elections†under capitalism cannot change anything no matter how they are carried out. This dynamic leads to a constantly hardening capitalist class dictatorship finally to Fascism, which is defined as the hard dictatorship of capitalism. See below. As mentioned there is no genuine “democracy†under capitalism—not even for the capitalists themselves.
Not since the 1960 election where Kennedy bought a few more votes than Nixon have there been 2 separate capitalist factions! Neither faction then represented the interests of the Working Class! The same is true today! After 1960 all elections were settled by assassinations and gunplay until Nixon, the organizer and implementer of the new-style government by assassination, was removed bloodlessly through the Watergate scandal by Nelson Rockefeller—not a second in line at the FBI (Mark Felt)—who merely carried those messages to the Washington Post which were authorized by Nelson Rockefeller in 1974. (See below.) Nelson Rockefeller simply felt under threat himself from Nixon once a Rockefeller ally. Rockefeller and Rockefeller ally Henry Kissinger together were the so-called “deep throat.†Another topic which is analyzed in depth following the discussion of the main topics, is the Big Lie of a supposed “collapse of the Soviet Union.†That Big Lie is used to demoralize the masses against the only solution to the complex of problems created by capitalism-imperialism and was refuted even by the Central Intelligence Agency, on network television news in 1990 and 1991 who stated that the CIA had no data or factual basis to support the claim of a “Soviet economic collapse.†That is because there was no “Soviet economic collapse†and CIA indignantly did not want to lend itself to acting merely as a propaganda outfit as Bush tried to do prior to the U.S. Invasion of Iraq. Briefly, the USSR simply backed down from the Reagan era “full court press†of a stepped-up nuclear arms race during the 1980’s where the capitalists launched their First Strike Star Wars program and placed First Strike Pershing II Nuclear missiles in Germany 10 minutes from Moscow! This escalated the situation to Launch on Warning. Mutally Assured Destruction became imminent. It was that situation alone which caused the Soviet surrender in 1988 and subsequent slow and painful dismantlement of that Workers’ State, but which has left the former Soviet power structure intact. (See further below.)
Remember that U.S. patriotism-chauvinism-jingoism means being willing to die or being willing to tell others to die for the capitalist warmongers and exploiters and super-exploiters. Never fall for it! As a first step we should never ever be sucked into saying “we†or “our†in referring to United States policy or actions! That opportunistic choice of words deceives the speaker into thinking that his or her interests coincide with the interests of the capitalist dictatorship and is wrong in the first place because the United States is not “our country.†It is the capitalists’ country! We just live here! In addition, such an opportunistic choice of words immediately implicates the speaker in the crimes of U.S. capitalism-imperialism against the entire world and against its own citizens. Nobody should lose sight of that fact for one moment! Under capitalism the word “democracy†is simply a euphemism for capitalist dictatorship and enslavement. “Freedom†under capitalism simply means the freedom to exploit and oppress. Only after class society is abolished through a Socialist Revolution in the United States can there be genuine democracy for the Working Class and everyone else. The capitalists have divided their domestic population on multiple bases and intimidated and brainwashed the masses to fear Socialism, despite the fact that the 1917 Russian Revolution and World Communist Movement in the 1930’s is responsible for all of the social programs which still exist in the United States (see further below). Up to now the capitalists have been able to inoculate and intimidate people against the only solution to their problems. The capitalists have also infantilized the masses using various means including Disneyland, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Alice in Wonderland, etc. Political cartoons also rely on cynicism—a capitalist philosophy of submission, resignation, acquiescence, despair and defeat. Cynicism is also promulgated by the capitalists’ political comedians such as Bill Maher, etc, wherever possible (see below). The result is that the masses are more likely to see themselves as children feeling hopeless, resigned to that fact, and constantly look up to the capitalist politicians as “the adults.†Nixon and others have openly referred to the masses as “the children.†But the capitalists’ deceptions now wear thin as the masses begin to sense the gravity of the present situation.
Despite the capitalist brainwash the overwhelming majority of Americans nevertheless now support the “need for a new system based on human need not private profit!†Even within the capitalist state bureaucratic apparatus itself when given that choice the majority support the call for a new system based on human need not private profit! This is the primary reason that the Congress was forced by their constituents to vote against the Wall Street Bailout on September 29, 2008 although the dynamic of capitalism will indubitably “win the day†at the present time! The material presented herein is intended as an aid to help progressive people consciously deprogram themselves from the capitalist brainwash which targets the masses every day from every direction and to provide a genuine basis to organize the Socialist Revolution in the United States. This is the wisest course of action and it is both possible and necessary. Do not be demoralized! Remember the morale of the capitalist state apparatus, which includes the army, police and bureaucracy, has never ever been lower. That is bad for the capitalists but very good for the masses! In the final analysis all wars are won and lost on morale, not force or force theory as the U.S. discovered once before in Vietnam! And every movement starts with the call! The precise steps to organizing a Socialist Revolution in the United States as explained below must be learned and widely taught and will help organize the depth of leadership required to achieve a Socialist Revolution in the United States. Where do we start?
The Capitalists Rule Through a Combination of Force and Deception!
Therefore: 1.) The Capitalists Must be Deprived of the Ability to Send Bodies of Armed Men
Against the Masses and 2.) The Primary Capitalist Weapons of Deception Must be Explained
And Exposed in Order to Take the Steps to Defeat Them and 3.) A Nationwide Network
Of Workers’ and Community Councils Must be Organized as a
Dual Power Counterposed to the Capitalists’ Dictatorship!
Mutiny in the armed forces is the absolute precondition for Socialist Revolution as well as ending the War in Iraq. Mutiny saves lives! Mutiny Saves Lives! This must be repeated. And repeated! And repeated! The capitalists must first be deprived of the ability to send bodies of armed men against the masses before there can ever be genuine free speech where opposing viewpoints can be fully heard by the masses, for example on NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN television at prime time every night of the week. Speaking on a street corner even with a megaphone is not free speech! Mutiny is also the first step to abolishing the standing army while arming the vanguard of the Working Class. Because of the Mutiny of U.S. armed forces in Vietnam in 1975 the U.S. has switched to an army of mercenary mass murderers, which includes regular low-paid GI marauders and cutthroats plus a group 45,000 armed “private contractors†of super highly paid Special elite Fascist killers such as Blackwater USA (leader photographed by major media openly giving the Hitler salute!), Dyncorp International, Custer Battles, Aegis, Zapata, Triple Canopy, etc., which are directly analogous to the NAZI SS (Schutz Staffel), for the personal protection of the U.S. high military command and officer corp. These very highly paid heavily armed military contractors are not in Iraq in order “to protect diplomats†despite the fact that the U.S. has built the largest embassy in the entire world in Baghdad! The protection of diplomats has always been carried out by the regular military. This highly paid organized group of psychopaths are In Iraq for one reason only—to protect the officer corps in event of mutiny! There were no super-highly paid military contractors in Vietnam! Only after the mutiny in Vietnam was such a security force deemed necessary for Iraq, which is another Vietnam! The overall number of private contractors in Iraq, which includes the 45,000 armed NAZI SS Blackwater USA, etc., numbers about 183,000 according to the Associated Press, September 19, 2007, more than the regular U.S. troops (168,000). In this situation the U.S. strategy of using very highly paid private contractors in order to buy their loyalty ultimately cannot prevent a mutiny, but it does complicate it. The regular army must defeat these NAZI-style SS private contractors militarily while turning their weapons on their officers and taking them all prisoner along with these NAZI-style SS forces. The regular army has much heavier weapons and more men under arms so this is certainly not an impossible task.
After the Mutiny in Iraq and in the U.S., which must include all National Guard units and police forces, the masses will be able to begin to set up a government of Dual Power in the United States consisting of a nationwide network of Workers’, Soldiers and Community Councils which are directly counterposed to the capitalist dictatorship. The success of the Socialist Revolution in all other developed countries is guaranteed after capitalism is abolished in the United States, but if necessary, we will provide every assistance in any pockets of crazed resistance. The Socialist Revolution in the United States and the actual taking of state power will take place relatively bloodlessly, and can only take place relatively bloodlessly because the masses must support it. Only after Mutiny in the armed forces and after winning the support through patient explanation of at least 70% of the U.S. Working Class and their allies just as occurred in Russia in October 1917—where only about 220-240 people died in the actual taking of state power starting on October 25th and the days that followed—will it be possible to actually take state power. It should be noted that it was only afterward when the Imperialists invaded the Soviet Union 4 months after the October Revolution and after all those 14 invading imperialist armies on 19 different fronts mutineed and the capitalists’ subsequently decided to back the “White Army†organized by the former Czarists and the Provisional Government of Kerensky, the fake-left “Socialist Revolutionary,†in the Civil War that millions died. When the Socialist Revolution takes place in the United States there will be no civil war and no more central support for capitalism-imperialism anywhere on Earth. A Socialist Revolution is not a coup d’etat and must be supported by the masses won over to the Socialist Revolution through patient explanation, which can only occur if genuine free speech, as described above, exists.
Once the Socialist Revolution has been consolidated, the capitalists have been expropriated and class society has been abolished worldwide, the primary function of the state as a class dictatorship to suppress one class by another disappears and the state as such begins to wither away, its bureaucratic apparatus smashed and the functions of the new government apparatus taken over by the very same workers and other employees, against whose transformation into another legion of bureaucrats preventative measures will be taken, namely: 1.) Direct Election, 2.) Recall at any time and 3.) Payment no higher than the union wage scale, a wage which will be considerable. But before that process of the withering away of the state can be entirely completed the reality is that because the capitalists have created such a range of problems that immediately confront the very survival of the human race the Socialist States of the entire world will have to work together very closely to undo the damage which has been done, for example, the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, which has now begun. (See below.) Only a Socialist Revolution will permanently end the capitalist tyranny by an insignificant minority of millionaires and billionaires by expropriating all of the capitalists’ wealth and will actually make it possible for everyone to live like a millionaire with a secure future. There is more than sufficient wealth to achieve this. Remember that all of the capitalists’ wealth was originally expropriated and stolen from the labor—the Surplus Value from the goods and services created and generated from the labor of the Working Class. The greatest surplus value has been created from the exploitation and super-exploitation of the work of People of Color. That is the basis of racism.
Racism Is An Integral Part of Capitalism and
Therefore Cannot Be Abolished under Capitalism!
Only a Socialist Revolution in the United States can abolish racism because racism is an integral part of capitalism. Racism is defined as that systematized set of false beliefs in the racial inferiority of Blacks and other People of Color as a false pretext to justify the exploitation and super-exploitation of Blacks and other People of Color. Racism is thus simply a brainwash used to justify economic exploitation and super-exploitation, which began with slavery and exists now as wage slavery. This truth is also covered up by the fake “left.†Communists oppose exploitation and super-exploitation of U.S. born Workers employed in so-called “McJobs.†Communists also oppose super-exploitation of immigrants. Immigration is being used by the capitalists to drive down the wage-scale of U.S. Workers and fragment the U.S. Working Class. The Big Lie is that immigrants presently perform low-paying jobs supposedly because “Americans don’t want to do that sort of work.†The reality is that Americans would gladly perform any work presently performed by Latin American immigrants, for example, if they received a salary of $40,000 to $50,000.00 a year to do it! Low skilled immigrants are brought into the United States precisely because their “illegal†status forces the to agree to be super-exploited because that is better than what existed in their home countries! Despite this glaring reality Immigration can be and must be supported by simultaneously calling for the union wage scale and equal status for all Immigrants as well as all U.S. born workers! In order that no false illusions are raised by deceptive claims that capitalism can be reformed, equal focus must be placed simultaneously on the reality that such objectives of equality and freedom cannot be achieved under capitalism, but only after a Socialist Revolution in the United States, after which the main economic motivation for mass immigration of workers will largely disappear, because the Socialist Revolution will take place worldwide and with it exploitation and super-exploitation in all countries! All progressive people while and Black should be reminded also never ever to use the word nigger! Use of that word reinforces racism whenever and wherever it is used. That is the reason the capitalist dictatorship pushes creeps like Chris Rock, whose every other word is “nigger,†in order to reinforce racism among the Black population his primary audience. Isn’t he funny! Hahaha! Reject such “humor!â€
Only a Socialist Revolution will make it possible for life to continue on this planet as explained in the analysis of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect below. That is how serious and acute the situation actually is at this time! Capitalism offers a world with no future! After the Socialist Revolution all officials in the U.S. Socialist government, without exception, will be elected and subject to recall at any time and their salaries reduced to ordinary union worker’s wages, which along with the salaries of all workers will rise substantially enough to be quite sufficient to live like a millionaire in the Socialist system. That fact alone will demonstrate more clearly than anything else the permanent break from capitalist dictatorship to a genuine worker’s democracy, from the dictatorship of the oppressors to the democracy of the oppressed classes, from the state as a “special coercive force†for the suppression of the Working Class, the middle class and the Poor, by an insignificant minority, to the suppression of the oppressors by the general force of the majority, after which the state in the proper sense of the word begins to wither away as the functions of the state are taken over by the general population. See below. There will be an end to the present situation where phony elections are staged periodically to decide which mostly predetermined members of the capitalist class will repress and crush us through the “presidency†and congressional parliamentarism. After the capitalists have been completely expropriated and the Socialist Revolution has triumphed, a reconstituted Socialist Congress, which exclusively represents the interests of the Working Class and the continued survival of life on this planet will become the highest ruling body in the United States, a truly flexible Working-Class government. The final name for it would be decided at that time. Over time the functions of government will gradually be taken over by the people themselves.
Before that point in reached however, the Congress, which will be reconstituted with directly elected representatives of the masses from the Workers’ and Community Councils, will be transformed from the present talking shop given over to phrase mongering and resolutions for the special purpose of fooling the credulous masses in televised committees, speeches and fraudulent “debates,†where the real business of state is performed behind the scenes and is carried out by the general staffs in the White House, the National Security Agency, the Department of War (so-called “Defenseâ€), and other departments of state and “think tanks†to a real working, not a parliamentary body, both executive and legislative at the same time. Remember that under capitalism all issues always reduce to a single question: how best to preserve capitalism-imperialism! There is no other permitted agenda! What does that mean in actual practice? There is a contradiction! The internal one-way dynamic of capitalism works at cross-purposes to the actual preservation of capitalism! The policies which are actually adopted at this stage of capitalism by the usurped executive, gerrymandered legislative and stacked judicial branches of the capitalist dictatorship do away with all previous checks and balances which, though minimal, had allowed capitalism to exist in balance up to the point of the Soviet surrender (see below). Removal of those checks and balances and most importantly the withdrawal of the Soviet Union now allows the dialectic of capitalism to develop and be expressed in its hardest, most naked and unrestrained form. It should be understood that capitalist politicians rise to prominence only to the degree that they express and further the natural dynamic of the constantly hardening capitalist dictatorship, a dynamic which they cannot reverse. Therefore, have no illusions in demagogic frauds such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Edwards and even Kucinich all of whom support the continued dictatorship of capitalism-imperialism and exist only for the purposes of deceiving the masses and perpetuating the false illusion of supposed capitalist “democracy†and “capitalist reform†in what is actually a continually hardening capitalist dictatorship.
Under Socialism the U.S. Constitution, which has been largely abolished in practice by the parasite capitalist dictatorship, will be completely rewritten to encompass the reality of the abolition of the capitalist state and its replacement with Socialist ownership and organization of society on the basis of a network of Workers’ and Community Councils in every city, town and military garrison. Most of the Amendments to the present U.S. Constitution will be retained except those dealing with maintaining the capitalist state and its bureaucracy, which will be abolished totally, though many if not most of the personnel will help in the transition to a Socialist system. These measures, which involve the reorganization of the state and purely political reorganization of society, take on their full meaning and significance only in connection with the expropriation of the expropriators, i.e. with the transformation of capitalist private ownership of the means of production and land into true social ownership. With the achievement of the Socialist Revolution worldwide, which as mentioned will occur virtually simultaneously with the Socialist Revolution in the United States, the basis for all wars will cease because Socialism unlike capitalism is based fundamentally on human need, not war and mass murder and other crime, which is required to maintain a system based upon private profit.
Religion will not be suppressed in any way but religion will also not be supported in any way. All religious points of view will be heard equally as will the atheist and agnostic viewpoints. People will make their own decisions over time. Socialism is therefore the best economic-political-social system for all religions including Islam because there is no suppression of any religion and there is no attempt to pit one religion against another in divide and conquer scenarios as the capitalists are now doing in Iraq, Occupied Palestine, Lebanon and throughout the Middle East and worldwide, whenever and wherever possible. After the Socialist Revolution in the United States hundreds of $billions and $trillions spent on war will be freed up for human need. This cannot ever occur under capitalism which is fundamentally based on war and mass murder and crime! Socialist Revolution in the United States is thus the only practical means possible to achieve world peace. Today capitalism has moved into its final stage of Permanent War and State Terrorism justified through the pretext of a preposterously fraudulent and manipulated “War on Terrorism.†See below. This crucial point is entirely covered up by the capitalist-operated pacifist and fake “left†groups (See below), who deceive the masses with disingenuous and contrived “airtight†appearing appeals such as “Bring All the Troops Home,†“Stop the Funding of the War†and “Only the People Will Stop The War,†as opposed to the correct position: “Support the Only Position With Successful Historical Precedent—Call For Mutiny in Iraq as in Vietnam—the Real Reason the Vietnam War Ended in 1975!†Mutiny saves lives! See below on Slogans. Mutiny at an earlier date could have saved the lives of over 2 million Vietnamese and 58 thousand plus Americans! (This omits the 2 million Vietnamese murdered by the French imperialists.)
The capitalists campaign nonstop to try to instill fear in the masses against Socialism, and most people are genuinely concerned about what Socialism would look like after a Socialist Revolution in the United States and the abolition of capitalism-imperialism worldwide. A Socialist Revolution in the United States would not and could not end up like the Soviet Union because there would be no basis to continue a hard dictatorship after it had been consolidated. The Soviet Union and other Workers’ States have all been hard Working Class dictatorships, which was justified only in order to prevent both internal and external counter-revolutionary attempts to restore the capitalist dictatorship, a threat which existed due to the fact that the Workers’ States have existed in a world still threatened by capitalism. That threat would be eliminated permanently after the Socialist Revolution takes place here in the United States, the center of world capitalism-imperialism. (See further below for a more comprehensive analysis of the USSR.) The capitalists do not want such questions to even be discussed. The reality is that there are no downsides to Socialism! First of all, life on this planet would be able to survive! Almost all of the jobs will still be there too except some of the jobs involved in the military industrial complex, insurance companies, HMOs and credit card companies. Insurance, HMO’s and credit would be largely unnecessary under Socialism, which would supply all social services automatically! The capitalist military industrial complex would be terminated immediately after the Worldwide Socialist Revolution, while most of the jobs in that area would be transferred to projects more in line with human need not mass murder. Jobs in no longer necessary parasitic industries such as insurance, health management organizations (HMO’s), credit card companies and private real estate, would also be abolished along with the industries themselves. No more Donald Trumps! No more landlords! As part of the global economic-political-social system based on human need, with the exception of disability, there would be no unemployment permitted (of healthy normal people)—NOT the so-called “natural rate of unemployment†devised by capitalist economists such as Milton Friedman, or any version of it, which permits millions of people to be unemployed to benefit the capitalists! Most large corporations and businesses would not disappear. Far from it! The only difference will be is that all corporations will be owned and run entirely by the workers, but all executive and management positions will be based on direct elections within the corporation or company and all those elected would be subject to immediate recall. No one will be paid more than the wage of a union worker, just as government officials, and with the end of the huge military budgets and the expropriation of the expropriators, the union wage will rise to be more than sufficient to live like a millionaire. That would be the starting point.
Dislocation for any reason during or after the Socialist Revolution will be minimal because the popular support required for its success will allow a smooth and rapid transition! In addition, as mentioned there will be no more exploitation and super-exploitation by landlords, although a much-reduced rent will be paid to the Socialist State. Landlordism will be terminated. Society will finally be placed on a basis of human need. All sections of the economy which derive their profits from parasitizing the masses would be permanently eliminated. There would be no more insurance company parasites and no more need to buy insurance of any kind and no one would ever again be in debt! Today the average college graduate often starts life in debt to the tune of around $100,000.00 and sometimes over twice as much after a graduate degree, an amount which often can never be repaid during the person’s lifetime! That practice would be ended! It should be noted that all European countries have free education to the highest level—but only because of the 1917 Russian Revolution and the existence of the Soviet Union until its surrender to the threat of a nuclear war. See below. (Today the capitalist European countries are trying to reverse and abolish all of the social programs all of which have owed their existence to the Soviet Union.) After a Socialist Revolution in the United States there would be no more “Credit Card Scores†and “Credit Card Reports†by parasite credit card companies because those companies would cease to exist. And no more parasite HMO’s! Medical and Scientific research would be expanded, fully funded and put to use of human need not mass murder primarily as under capitalism! There would be an end to all economic warfare which capitalism wages against the masses carried out to try to impoverish them economically and to demoralize them politically and to reduce their number by bringing them to an earlier death through applied Social Darwinism. There would an end to homelessness, and all housing would be made livable. There would be entirely free education to the highest level obtainable for each person. There would be free medical and free dental treatment for everyone. There would be an end to the AIDS pandemic, which is documented to be Biowarfare by the U.S. government and other cooperating governments. A safe recombinant AIDS vaccine, which would be close to 100% effective, would be promptly developed. (See further below in Analysis and Theses for exact description.) Humankind would have its best chance to reverse the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, which the beginning of an exponential increase in atmospheric CO2 levels documents has already begun. (See further below.) The capitalists wage a continuous Big Lie campaign, just like they do on every other issue to brainwash the masses against Socialism. Anti-Communism, which is imposed on the masses through the capitalist government, its puppet media, its puppet educational system and loyal fake “left opposition,†divide and conquer “single issue groups†and conspiracy groups, has as much basis in truth as the capitalists’ claim that there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, as we will see below.
The question is fundamental: If you understand and agree that capitalism cannot be reformed, that we have reached a dead end, and that the problems which confront society and civilization cannot be solved under capitalism and that we need a new system now based on human need not private profit and you want to help organize and achieve a Socialist Revolution—not try to reform capitalism—then you qualify as a Communist. Those who are NOT Communist still falsely believe 1.) that capitalism-imperialism, through reform, can solve the complex of problems which has been created by capitalism and which now confronts the very survival of humanity, or 2.) they agree with the first statement that capitalism cannot be reformed, but are unwilling to do anything to help organize a Socialist Revolution. This latter defines the position of opportunism. Anti-Communism and opportunism will be carefully analyzed further below and exposed and dissected point by point in order to remove all confusion and obstacles which exist to organizing a Socialist Revolution in the United States. The significance of the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Soviet Workers’ State and the misleadership of Stalin, who was not in practice a Communist, are discussed more comprehensively further elsewhere. The key point regarding the USSR is that all workers’ gains which were achieved through the 1917 Russian Revolution and which existed in the Soviet Union right up until its surrender to the threat of a nuclear war in 1988 must be defended; these include full employment, no homelessness, free education to the highest level and free medical and dental. In New York City approximately 90% of the people this writer randomly approaches, most of whom are unknown to him, agree with the suggestion: ““We need a new system based on human need not private profit!†or “We need a Socialist Revolution in the United States!†These are straightforward Communist responses, although these people would certainly not identify themselves as Communists because 1.) they have been brainwashed against the word and often do not even understand what it actually means and 2.) they fear reprisals from the government which they know opposes Socialism and does everything possible to try to intimidate the masses in this regard. It is undeniable however that unorganized support for Socialism already exists in U.S. cities today! With proper organization these obstacles can be overcome. The economic-political-social conditions under capitalism have already created the support for Socialist Revolution in the United States. The U.S. population is most certainly not “a little to the right of center†or “a little left of center†as falsely often claimed by capitalist politicians and capitalist media, as a way to try to pressure the masses, to both intimidate them and to try to convince them to take a position against there own best interests. It is most important to understand that the U.S. masses would be receptive to a Socialist Revolution right now if the barriers, which are systematically placed by the capitalist dictatorship to prevent it, can be removed. In the final analysis remember that all wars are won and lost on morale and every movement begins with the call!

This section should have gone in after #5 but your software messed up repeatedly:
The reason that a Socialist Revolution has not occurred yet is because of the present correlation of class forces in the United States where the capitalist dictatorship is still able to maintain its dominance over its own masses at the center of world capitalism-imperialism. The capitalists rule through a combination of force and deception. At this point where capitalism has entered its final stage of Permanent War and State Terrorism and its class dictatorship is hardening by the day and growing more nakedly oppressive domestically and internationally the capitalists are depending once again on their Primary Weapon of Deception—the Presidential “Elections†process (see further below), which their accelerating loss of credibility forced them to initiate nearly a year earlier this time in order to try to divert the attention of the masses from actually even considering the possibility of a new system based on human need not private profit: “Look, look, look here are your new candidates—aren’t you happy and hopeful just thinking about them?†The capitalists’ objective is obviously to try to re-instill false “hope†in capitalism. Barack Obama’s disingenuous book: “The Audacity of Hope,†published in October 2006 is another indication that he has for many years been groomed for a presidential run, parrots and refurbishes Jesse Jackson’s deceptive slogan—“Keep Hope (in capitalism!) Alive,†which in turn was lifted from the fraudulent capitalist history: “Tragedy and Hope†by Carroll Quigley, a professional liar from the (CIA) Georgetown University center, which was once required reading for capitalist politicians and aspiring demagogues and counter-insurgents.
Every four years the capitalists pull another rabbit out of their hat as they stage their sham “elections†in order to continue to try to perpetuate the illusion of “democracy†in what is actually a hardening capitalist dictatorship, in order to string the masses along and try to coax and cajole them to agree more easily to their own oppression and genuine misery and poverty with such false promises of “Change We Can Believe In,†“Judgment to Lead†and “Solutions for Americaâ€, etc. etc. From the Working Class viewpoint a demagogue is defined as a false leader who pretends to represent the wishes and aspirations of the masses but actually represents the interests of the capitalist class. All of the candidates in elections held by the capitalist class represent the interests of the capitalist class because they try to deceive the masses to believe that capitalism can reform itself when scientific analysis and history reveals that to be completely impossible at this end stage in this final stage of capitalist development!
Biofuels is a Scheme to Create Worldwide Mass Starvation in Developing
and Poor Countries Inhabited by People of Color as a Malthusian
Social Darwinist Weapon to Reduce Population!
The capitalists’ present objective is to use the what they hope will be the increased credibility of an Obama Presidency to ram through the most oppressive measures possible against the masses domestically and of course to continue the “War on Terror,†the pretext for the final stage of capitalism-imperialism: Permanent War and State Terrorism. With the outcome of a victory by the Democrats completely assured in the 2008 “elections,†the capitalists did not actually care who won between Obama and Hillary Clinton. The capitalist dictatorship wanted the next president to be Democratic backed by a democratic constituency—whoever had the greatest ability to fool the masses is the one they want, despite the fact that the Clintons had controlled the Democratic Party leadership since 1992! In their desperation and frustration and anger at the Bush Regime the supporters of such new stooges/demagogues/charlatans/balloons, usually do not look closely at what the candidates actually say about the War in Iraq, the Global Warming (which data now show has entered the stage of a Runaway Greenhouse Effect) or any other issue. (See below.) Both Obama, McCain and Clinton all support mandates just like Bush, through huge subsidies (MONEY!!) paid to farmers to sell their grain to be burned as fuel rather than to be eaten as food, under the phony pretext of “energy independence.†But Biofuels is a scheme (not a scam as termed by Time magazine, May 20, 2008) to create worldwide mass starvation in developing and poor countries of Africa and Asia through food inflation. It does not matter whether corn or switch grass is planted for fuel because whatever is planted decreases the acreage planted for food for humans and animals. Even used cooking oils must not be burned as fuel because it increases atmosphereic CO2! Today’s coal and oil were yesterday’s biomass. (See below.) That is what is being put into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels!! Nothing at all must be burned as fuel! Energy must never be equated with fuel and burning!! Biofuels target poor and developing countries populated almost entirely by People of Color. Obama has been backed for years by a huge biofuel industry in Illinois and thus already qualifies as a mass murderer and he has not even taken office! In addition, all candidates support continuation of the War in Iraq, installation of the U.S. puppet “Iraqi†government and leaving a large number of troops in Iraq indefinitely through “phased withdrawal†or “phased redeployment†to Afghanistan, rather than a total evacuation as occurred in Vietnam due to the 1975 mutiny! It is not only the youth, but all those who see no future in the present course, who recognize at some level that capitalism offers a world with no future and who actually do want a new system based on human need, who in their desperation, frustration and anger end up feeling that they must put their faith in one or another of these capitalist demagogues because there seems to be no other choice. The masses are presented with no alternative but to participate in the sham, staged U.S. presidential elections where the outcome has largely been decided in advance and has been ever since Watergate. Most people think that it is the only game in town. Not true, as we shall see!
The Capitalists Are at the Beginning of Another Great Depression
Which Will Be Much Worse Than the 1929 Great Depression! The
Wall Street Bailout and Largest Stock Market Crash in U.S. History
On September 29, 2008 of 777.65 Points on the Dow
Industrial Average Are Proof of What is to Come!
The World capitalist economy is on the verge of another Great Depression, which no amount of Wall Street Bailouts can prevent. For over ten years the capitalists have carried on what is actually institutionalized loan-sharking where as many borrowers as possible seeking loans or mortgages were deliberately steered into sub-prime loan and mortgage agreements which were designed so that even people with top credit could not pay them off after the initial “teaser rates†expired, thus forcing millions of house foreclosures and creating huge tent cities of previously well-off homeless people, which presently exist all over the United States as modern day Hoovervilles. These mortgages and sub-prime loans were in turn sold as bundled mortgage-backed securities as derivatives both nationally and internationally. It was a nationwide and international overt criminal enterprise, which has created a situation where no bank can even determine its actual risk and exposure. The Derivative Market invented by Paul Samuelson who was incidentally also given a Nobel Prize for Economics, was recently estimated to be $351 trillion (!). In comparison the national debt of the United States is only $10 trillion. The scale of the derivative market should give the reader an idea of how pervasive and large the share of fictitious money is! The capitalist system is built on a house of cards. The initial rejection by Congress on September 29, 2008 of the Wall Street Bailout for the banks caused the Stock Market Crash and was due to the opposition of their constituents/the voters to the huge giveaway to the banks of what will probably be more than $1.5 trillion with very little to nothing for the masses. Congress is on the verge of also rejecting a bailout of the Big Three automakers. This will not change appreciably despite the victory of Obama in the presidential “election†and despite a second planned “stimulus plan.†Obama immediately began a campaign of reduced expectations in his acceptance speech in Grant Park: “…It may not happen even in one term…†“Audacity of Hope†the title of his second book means hope in capitalism. He has no intention of doing anything but preserving the system of capitalism-imperialism.
The September 29, 2008 Stock Market Crash was the biggest in U.S. history representing the loss of $1.4 Trillion! And there will be more to come!! Even if not immediately! The Bailout did not even include even legislation to enable Bankruptcy Courts to change the terms of the above-described loan-sharked mortgages to permit people to remain in their homes!! The huge amount of money invested in this so-called toxic waste of mortgage-backed securities prevents banks from extending credit to business producing the “Credit Crisis.†Because of this Credit Crisis and the Bush Tax Cuts and the huge Budget Deficit and the War in Iraq and Afghanistan producing a war economy which has already given $1.5 trillion to the military-industrial complex, the F.D.I.C. can not actually guarantee each customer account for $100,000.00 as was originally promised by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the New Deal in 1932! Even if the F.D.I.C. increases the amount to $250,000 to increase (false) confidence in the banking system! Today the F.I.D.C. is nothing but promises—just a bunch of IOUs! The capitalists have no real money to cover a nationwide bank run the same as during the early years of the 1929 Great Depression! This is undeniable! Today we need a Socialist Revolution in the United States.
The real reason for the “Bush Tax Cuts,†also known as “Supply Side Economics†and “Trickle Down Economics†in the Reagan Regime, is to “create a Strategic Budget Deficit in order to divert money from social spending†just like in the Reagan Regime as explained in the 1986 book “The Triumph of Politics: Why The Reagan Revolution Failed†by David Stockman, Ronald Reagan’s economic czar. Unbelievably the capitalists hope to avert such a bank run by “building confidence†in the economy with jawboning Big Lies about how the initial $700 billion Bailout will help the economy. Even with Bush leaving half of the $700 billion for Obama the American people do not buy it. The answer is to establish a new economic-political-social system based on human need not private profit. Socialism cannot be “elected†because “elections†of any kind under capitalism leaves the capitalist power structure in place without expropriating ALL of their wealth, which they have stolen from the fruits of our labor (surplus value), through exploitation and super-exploitation of the International Working Class and destruction of the environment, which now threatens all life on Earth.
For example in one small but important example, the oil companies are now about to drill 25,000 oil wells in the Delaware River Basin which supplies water to 5% of the country including New York City and Philadelphia. Over 15 million people! The Bush regime abolished EPA regulations which forced oil companies from revealing the over 250 toxic chemicals they use to fracture shale while drilling for the natural gas. If permitted hundreds of trucks will be carrying millions of gallons of this toxic waste over roads in the Northeast corridor and making hundreds of trips each week just to drill one gas well. It is an absolute certainty at some point that this toxic waste will enter the drinking water of New York City, etc. The Democrats have just passed a bill in Congress giving the green light to the oil companies to drill off U.S. coasts although Obama promises to put a stop to it. It has been clearly calculated that this will not bring down the price of oil at the pump even one penny, but will only put $billions in the pockets of the oil companies! The price at the pump has dropped dramatically due to the beginning of the new Great Depression simply because of the business downturn and reduced consumer travel. Oil drilling would mean that oil spills off U.S. coasts would become a permanent feature eventually destroying fishing and swimming and other recreational purposes everywhere eventually. This is all due to the fact that capitalism has a dynamic (dialectic) of its own independent of the wills of the independent capitalists and politicians. The politicians rise to the top only on the basis of how they express and further this one-way dynamic, which is to Fascism, barbarism, the end of civilization and finally all life on Earth. This is why the capitalists picked Obama as their next U.S. president/stooge. See further below.
Capitalism Poses A Direct and Immediate
Danger to All Life on Earth! The Runaway
Greenhouse Effect Has Already Begun!
The Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already begun! This is not a joke and is not something which might occur in the distant future. It is no longer simply a matter of Global Warming or euphemistically described “climate change†that we have to contend with, but the beginning of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect. Professional climatologists risk losing their jobs if they reveal the rapidly approaching reality. The vast majority of them must lie to keep their jobs! Nevertheless, according to the latest published results in the October 11, 2004 British Guardian, which were just blipped in the media, for the last 3 years prior to that date the CO2 level for the first time began to rise in an accelerated fashion indicating that a Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already begun. Ethical and Honest (bucking the trend!) scientists, at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory reported that average CO2 levels increased by 2.08 ppm in 2002, to 373.1 ppm, and by 2.54 ppm in 2003, to an average of 375.64 ppm. This is the first recorded example of the average CO2 level jumping more than 2 ppm in two consecutive years. See: British Guardian, Oct 11, 2004. It became three consecutive years in 2005 when the Associated Press reported on March 20th that scientists at Mauna Loa Observatory had recorded the atmospheric CO2 level peaked at a record of 379 ppm! The apparent significance of this newly observed increase in atmospheric CO2 levels is that the CO2 reservoirs, namely the rain forests and oceans, are now exhausted and from this point on the atmospheric CO2 level will start to increase in an exponential fashion.
The U.S. Main Policy Is To Try to Confuse the Masses and Cover Up the Fact that
That The Runaway Greenhouse Effect Has Already Begun, Because The Capitalists
Fear That The World’s Masses Will Begin to Organize A Socialist Revolution When
They Begin to Understand the Reality that NOTHING Can Be Done Under Capitalism-
Imperialism, which is Based Only on Private Profit and is Fundamentally Irresponsible!
In an effort to cover up the fact that the Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already begun the New York Times, January 1, 2007 revealed that the U.S. government has mobilized a large number of those posing as “climate experts†to try to confuse the masses and to downplay concern about the rapidly escalating environmental disaster which is readily apparent, while cautioning the reaction (the right wing) to back off the no longer accepted claim that it is all “a hoax… inconsequential, unproved or a manufactured crisis†but only because it “sounds stupid.†The so-called “Third Stance,†which the Fascists think is a more sophisticated way to deceive the masses, and now have chosen to hype is to admit that greenhouse gases “probably pose a momentous environmental challenge†(!) but to GO SLOW rather than to treat the (Runaway Greenhouse Effect) as a “raging fire†with the bizarrely false claim (Big Lie) that science “cannot calculate the probabilities with any degree of skill†according to “intelligence community†propagandist, Carl Wunsch, masquerading as “a climate and oceans expert at MIT.â€
U.S.-led world capitalism-imperialism is controlled by the oil industry and the military industrial complex and cannot reform itself. While falsely claiming to be in favor of alternative energy, for example the Bush Regime cut money for alternative energy in 2005 by 50%! A real solution, which cannot take place under capitalism, and can only take place under a new system based on human need not private profit—after a Socialist Revolution in the United States—would include: 1.) Beginning to introduce realistic large-scale alternative energy sources like Tidal Power and certain large hydroelectric sources such as the world’s largest waterfalls. This can and must be done on a large scale to the degree where fossil fuels no longer supply the majority of the power for residential and business needs and the world’s dependency on fossil fuels actually ends and 2.) Ending completely the deforestation and destruction of the rainforests which trap much of the Earth’s CO2 in vegetation and planting new forests. Although China, under pressure to compete with the capitalist countries, has added substantially to global air pollution and the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, due to its burning of coal for power, is making every effort to switch to clean energy technologies such as hydroelectric power with the Three Gorges Dam and Tidal Power. But China, a Workers’ State, based on human need not private profit, despite doing business with the capitalists on a massive scale, a policy which Lenin himself recommended, has surprisingly led the world and reversed Asia’s net loss of 3000 square miles a year of forests from the 1990’s to a net gain of 4000 square miles since 2000. It should be noted that the same “human factors which have caused desertification in China†are also responsible for perhaps the greatest pollution problem on the planet in their cities due to burning of coal and oil, a practice which was implemented in order to beat the capitalists at their own game economically, but which now must be stopped and was stopped in Beijing for the Olympics, because the air is normally totally unfit to breath and almost caused cancellation of the Olympics until China shut down almost all manufacturing in Beijing for the duration of the Olympics and Special Olympics.
China’s yearly loss of 950 sq. miles to the Gobi desert is to be stopped by the “Green Great Wallâ€- a 2,800-mile network of forest belts designed “terminate expansion of new desertification caused by human factors” within a decade as reported to the United Nations. By 2050, China believes that much of the arid land can be restored to a productive and sustainable state. Possibly the largest proposed ecological project in history, the Great Green Wall calls for planting more than 9 million acres of forest at a cost of up to $8 billion. Those interested in reversing the Runaway Greenhouse—and we must make every effort—should research the details of the Great Green Wall which are available on the Internet. But the capitalists in non-Workers States on the other hand do nothing to reverse the situation of the worldwide loss of vegetation—just the opposite! See below. This is because of the one-way internal dynamic of capitalism, which is largely independent of the wills of the individual capitalists and politicians which make it up.
Capitalism Cannot Reverse Fossil Fuels Global Warming nor
The Runaway Greenhouse Effect Which Has Now Begun!
The most important potential alternative power is tidal power from the oceans and hydroelectric power from huge waterfalls such as the Kaieture Falls in Guyana with a total drop of 822 feet (5 times the drop of Niagara Falls) and Victoria Falls in Africa the largest waterfalls in the world. The Niagara Falls Region is the largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world. Half of the flow of the St. Lawrence River is diverted by Canada and the U.S. for hydroelectric power, to complaints from those who might prefer to see nuclear power plants (!) or no plants at all—the reactionary anti-technology movement. While there has been some hydroelectric power development of Victoria Falls by Zambia the oil industry has suppressed hydroelectric power development of Kaieture Falls. Instead of development of realistic alternative sources of energy the capitalists and their media mouthpieces are calling for more fossil fuel development, falsely equating oil with “energy,†using the two terms interchangeably and pushing nuclear power once again which permanently pollutes and poisons the environment. The so-called “environmental groups†such as the Greens, Greenpeace, Sierra Club etc., which are part of the group of government-controlled fake “opposition†single-issue groups, and also the fake “left†groups along with Al Gore, also suppress this information about Tidal Power and encourage a reformist approach of conservation of fossil fuel usage or push other alternative energy sources which are either impractical on a large scale or are calculated to fail on some other basis. Nevertheless, a few tidal power plants already exist in England, France, the former USSR and China. More must be built rapidly in all countries in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres which have tides.
The Kaieture Falls alone has been estimated to be able to produce enough energy to supply all industrial and residential needs of North America and South America combined! And Victoria Falls in Africa is the largest waterfalls in the world! Kaieture Falls are completely ignored and Victoria falls are not fully utilized because of the threat to the oil industry. The capitalists cover up the potential energy of tidal power and pretend to embrace alternative energy by hyping wind power because it is much more inefficient, generates a much smaller amount of power than tidal power and thus poses no real threat to fossil fuels! For example, at this moment the capitalists are planning to install 24 square miles of huge inefficient ugly wind turbines (an area the size of Manhattan) 5 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which will generate 75% of power for those living nearby—when the wind blows, but that represents only 1% of total energy of the state of Massachusetts! In Maine wind power is also being pushed by the logging industry because it will extend existing logging roads and create new ones and industrialize the Maine Woods! Tidal power, which produces cheap, predictable energy, works 24/7, does not require nearly as many generating stations as wind power and is 3 to 4 times as efficient as nuclear power!! Wind power should only be resorted to as a last resort in areas where there are no tides. Near the equator solar power would be most appropriate. Proper use of tidal power and hydroelectric power would produce so much power that even central areas of continents could also be supplied. Isn’t it interesting that Tidal Power is never ever mentioned! The silence of the fake left and phony environmentalist groups on tidal power is deafening! For Tidal Power see: http://www.tidalelectric.com.
The Sierra Club is one of several government-operated, anti-Communist single-issue environmentalist groups. It has attracted a large membership and also sponsors hikes and activities to try to gain credibility among the masses in order to help control environmental issues for the capitalists. In its newspaper Sierra Atlantic, Vol. 33, Summer 2006, the Sierra Club, has a huge long article on Wind Power but deliberately omits any mention of Tidal Power as a much more efficient alternative energy source anywhere in the whole issue, an indefensible omission, and totally disingenuously concludes: “But simply hearing the arguments may help each of us to understand and re-examine our own prejudices (!), enabling us to come to the most reasonable and dispassionate decision we can make, one which will have a meaningful impact on our future.†This after they omit any mention of Tidal Power! You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing today! To put this in perspective as to the capitalists true priorities and who is really running things, the capitalists have responded to the huge increase in oil company profits due to the recent increase in the price of oil and deliberate gauging at the pump by awarding the oil companies a huge $28 billion rip-off by suspending royalties paid to the U.S. government from oil drilled in federal territory!
The Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already occurred on Venus where all the CO2 is found in the 932 degrees Fahrenheit (500 degrees Centigrade) atmosphere. The water in the oceans of Venus, which were nearly the size of the oceans on Earth, all evaporated away very early because of the heat generated by Runaway Greenhouse Effect caused by the fact that Venus receives 30% more sunlight than the Earth. The evaporating oceans finally boiled away completely after the temperature reached a measly 212 degrees Fahrenheit—on its way to the present 932 degrees Fahrenheit. Once in the upper atmosphere ultraviolet radiation from the sun split the H20 apart into hydrogen, which disappeared into space and oxygen, which reacted with minerals on the surface and also disappeared from the atmosphere. The Evolution of Life is what prevented a Runaway Greenhouse Effect from occurring on Earth as it did on Venus! Life did not evolve on Venus, with the consequence that there was no plant and animal life to absorb the gradual build-up of CO2 from volcanoes, which eventually formed the thick atmosphere which exists on Venus today composed primarily of CO2 (96.5%) with the remainder nitrogen (3.5%) and other minor components expressed in a few parts per million plus a sulfuric acid cloud deck beginning at about 50 kilometers above the surface. On Earth the CO2 which was released into the atmosphere through volcanoes went into evolving vegetation and then animal life, which over hundreds of millions of years became deposited in the crust of the Earth as the fossil fuels coal and oil. There is no carbon found in the crust of Venus. That is how we know that life did not evolve on Venus. Today the frenzied burning of those fossil fuels here on Earth has resulted in having the huge amount of CO2 stored in them being released all at once into the atmosphere. The Earth’s carbon sinks, the Earth’s natural storage mechanisms for CO2—the rain forests other vegetation and the oceans—have a limit and are now being overwhelmed. As occurred on Venus billions of years ago, that process now appears to have reached the stage of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect here on Earth. Without a Socialist Revolution here in the United States, which is the only possible way to still reverse that process, the situation on Venus today is the future of the Earth in the not so distant future. We are presently experiencing the beginning of that future. Life on Earth will become totally unlivable far before we arrive at the situation existing on Venus today.
The temperature on Earth does not have to rise very much to destroy all life. This is the reality which fake “opposition†figures such as James Hansen and Al Gore deliberately hide, while they attempt to control the issue and lead it to defeat. (See below.) In the 1951 science fiction/political film, The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Earth was visited by people in a flying saucer from a more advanced civilization which delivered an ultimatum at the end: “It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.†The result of Earth being reduced to a burned out cinder is clearly not limited to war and peace or even nuclear war. Although it goes without saying that capitalism-imperialism, due to its internal dynamic as explained herein, automatically extends violence everywhere and even to outer space with its Star Wars Program, etc. (which has thankfully not yet been realized in practice), capitalism has also extended its maximum violence to the environment. The environmental reality, not science fiction, is that with the onset of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect the Earth is now on course to become a burned out cinder like Venus! Only a Socialist Revolution can avert this catastrophe! It is our right and it is our duty to avert this catastrophe by ending the capitalist dictatorship in the United States through a Socialist Revolution.
The falsely labeled “Archaea†bacteria, tube worms, which have evolved to live at temperatures of up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and the hyperthermophilic bacteria, which have evolved to live at water temperatures of up to 239 degrees Fahrenheit will be the last life on Earth because of their ability to live at high temperatures.. (Incidentally, “Archaea†was falsely so-labeled in order to spread confusion in science and to try to undermine in one blow both Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and the irrefutable Primordial Soup Theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey of 1953, who demonstrated that the basic building blocks of life; amino acids, purines, pyrimidines and carboxylic acids can all be produced by running electrical sparks simulating lightning through the most-likely original reducing atmosphere of Earth composed of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor or steam. Later experiments by Miller demonstrated that the precise atmospheric mixture was not as important as the fact that it be a reducing atmosphere, meaning that it must contain NO oxygen, because the compounds necessary for life, namely amino acids, purines and pyrimidines and carboxylic acids (required for the synthesis of lipids) cannot be produced in an oxidizing atmosphere! In addition, it has been reported that Jeffrey L. Bada, who had been a graduate student of Stanley Miller and Adam P. Johnson a graduate student at Indiana University visiting Bada’s laboratory on an internship working with co-workers have discovered 22 amino acids in the original samples from the Stanley Miller-Urey experiments, including 10 that had not been previously reported. (The Miller Volcanic Spark Discharge Experiment, Adam P. Johnson, Daniel P. Glavin, Antonio Lazcano and Jeffrey L. Bada, Science, 17, October 2008. page 404, Vol. 322, no. 5900, DOI: 10.1126 science. 1161527). See also The New York Times, October 17, 2008. In a 1996 interview Stanley Miller also revealed that he had been able to produce pyridines and purines by creating more concentrated pre-biotic “dry beach” conditions, which would have been present in lakes lagoons and beaches on the primitive Earth. From that point, self-replicating RNA molecules are well known and have been extensively studied and described in the major media and peer review journals. And DNA clearly evolved from RNA. There is no crediblee dispute.
In 1969 a carbonaceous meteorite fell in Murchison Australia which had high concentrations of amino acids, about 100 ppm, found in the same pre-biotic experiments of Stanley Miller, proving that the early evolution of life is a constant which occurs throughout the universe given certain favorable conditions, NOT that life came to Earth from comets or asteroids from elsewhere—so called “Theory of Panspermia,†which is also fraudulently being passed off as a “theory of life.†Cosmic rays and the heat of entry into Earth’s atmosphere would have destroyed all life potentially surviving the near absolute zero temperature of interstellar or interplanetary space. The goal of these determined and deliberate falsifiers is to keep the masses confused on as many scientific matters and political matters as possible because a confused person cannot act! False analysis of one issue leads in turn to false analysis of another. In such a situation the masses are much more to think what they are told to think and to do what they are told to do by the capitalist dictatorship. Since 1969 incidentally numerous carbonaceous meteorites have revealed the presence of amino acids.
In response to the knowingly false claim that life supposedly “evolved†rather than adapted to live around submarine vents formed under the oceans where tectonic meet, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it is a fact that submarine vents don’t make organic compounds, they decompose them! These vents are one of the limiting factors on what organic compounds would exist in the primitive oceans. At the present time, the entire ocean goes through those vents in 10 million years. So all of the organic compounds are destroyed every ten million years. That places a constraint on how much organic material could accumulate. In addition, it also provides a time scale for the origin of life. If all the polymers and other compounds that evolve are continuously destroyed that means life would have to start early and rapidly. Looking at the process in detail, it is clear that long periods of time would be detrimental, rather than helpful to this fraudulent, totally contrived and deliberately misleading so-called “theory†of the origin of life which was created, among other reactionary reasons (see below), in order to provide a false pretext for NASA to carry out extremely costly and entirely unnecessary and useless space ventures to outlying planetary satellites under the false pretext of “searching for life,†wherever there might be water discovered by spectral analysis for example, in order to keep their jobs and obtain continued government funding.
Today basic medicine, science including climatology, astrophysics and even both Einstein’s Special Theory and General Theory of relativity are brazenly and routinely falsified at the direction of Fascist elements for political/religious reasons. These scientifically fabricated and bizarre distortions are mixed in with some actual science and are passed of as “the new science†in exhaustive falsifications lasting for hours on NOVA and FRONTLINE, not to mention the new textbooks! Can you say Total Brainwash of the youth? Not to mention the adult population! The widespread genuine academic opposition to these wide-scale falsifications of science is never given equal time! We demand and will take equal time.
The Runaway Greenhouse Effect Contains Positive
Feedback Cycles Which Constantly Accelerate!
Runaway Greenhouse Effect means just what it says! Positive Feedbacks, otherwise known as vicious circles, have already begun to kick in which constantly accelerate the Runaway Greenhouse Effect. The most important feedback in the polar region is the ice-albedo feedback or the ice-reflectivity feedback. Albedo is defined as the overall reflection coefficient of an object. Seawater has much less reflectivity (albedo) than ice. Open ocean water which is rapidly taking the place of sea ice in the polar regions, absorbs about 80% more solar radiation than sea ice which reflects the sun’s rays back into space. For example, the Polar Ice Cap has already been enormously reduced—more and more each summer leaving only 1.6 million square miles by the end of the summer of 2007. This was a huge drop from the previous low of 2.05 square miles in 2005 (New York Times, September 16, 2007). In addition, warmer water absorbs less than half the amount of CO2 than does cold water. Carbon dioxide normally penetrates only the surface seawater (known as the mixed layer), ranging from 10 meters up to 150 meters deep, where warm layers converge in increased turbulence allowing deeper penetration and mixing of surface water. But ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream and the Japanese Current, which move from equatorial regions towards the poles where it is colder, do allow the absorbed CO2 to reach deeper layers to some degree. When CO2 mixes with water carbonic acid (H2CO3) is formed, which limits the amount of further CO2 the seawater can absorb. The ability of the water to hold CO2 thus increases by only about 1% for each 10% increase in CO2 in the atmosphere! This is known as the Revelle Buffer Factor, which can be reversed by adding calcium carbonate. But this appears to be impractical on a large scale and is approaching the problem from the wrong direction in any case. The oceans are one of the most important carbon sinks containing about 50 times more CO2 than the atmosphere and 19 times more than the land biosphere. Warming also reduces the mixing of deeper seawater and surface waters, further reducing the amount of CO2 absorbed by the oceans. In addition, global warming—now the Runaway Greenhouse Effect—interrupts the Gulf Stream and Japanese Current by melting freshwater glaciers which flow southward potentially cutting off the Gulf Stream, for example. (This has not happened yet and the entire world including Europe is experiencing extremes of weather which characterize the beginning of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect.) Freshwater remains mostly on the surface and this also reduces the mixing of surface and deeper layers. The reduced mixing of deeper seawater and surface waters due to the Runaway Greenhouse Effect also reduces the amount of phytoplankton normally brought to the surface where they absorb CO2 in their growth cycle, thus interrupting the food chain. Phytoplankton provide food for zooplankton, mostly copepods and krill which form the main diet of many fish. Without krill, without phytoplankton the entire food chain in the ocean will collapse.
The Global warming—now at the stage of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect—is causing large areas of permafrost in Alaska, Canada and Siberia to melt. As it melts the organic matter trapped in the permafrost starts to decay and rot. This releases more carbon dioxide and methane (CH4) into the atmosphere. Methane is twelve to twenty times more powerful as a heat trapping gas than CO2. The other heat trapping gases in addition to carbon dioxide are: 1.) methane, 2.) nitrous oxide, 3.) ozone and 4.) halocarbons. The combined warming effect (positive radiative forcing) from these other trace gases is approximately equal to that of CO2. Although small particulate aerosols from the burning of coal (sulfate aerosols) and volcanic dust do the reverse and cool the atmosphere by reflecting heat from the sun they are rather quickly removed from the atmosphere. Even though total emissions of chlorofluorocarbons are quite small compared with emissions of carbon dioxide, their impact is significant since their global warming potential is so large. A rare and previously unreported gas, trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride (SF5CF3), was recently reported. Trifluoromethyl sulfur pentafluoride is long-lived (an atmospheric residence of several hundred to several thousand years) and may have a Global Warming Potential that could be as much as 18,000 times that of CO2! Despite this, carbon dioxide emissions still account for about half of the total Global Warming Potential of emissions from human sources.
The Runaway Greenhouse Effect is also affecting Wetlands and forests worldwide contributing to the desiccation of huge peat bogs in Indonesia and elsewhere. The Runaway Greenhouse Effect is responsible for the increased droughts in the Amazon basin and worldwide. This reduces the carbon sink of the rain forests and other vegetation further accelerating the Runaway Greenhouse Effect. The droughts have reportedly brought an increasing beetle infestation in Alaska and British Columbia which is killing huge tracts of pine forests. The beetle infestation is poised to cross the Canadian Rockies into the boreal forest which extends east to Newfoundland according to reports in the New York Times, October 4, 2007. Obviously this provides the basis for increased forest fires. Forest fires are consuming an ever-increasing amount of U.S. forests as we see from the nightly news reports every year.
The main positive feedback cycle/vicious circle which reduces the carbon sinks remains the ice-reflectivity feedback as explained above and is the primary reason that the CO2 has begun what appears to be the beginning of an exponential increase in the atmosphere according to the October 11, 2004 British Guardian report. (See above) French TV News also recently reported scientists’ observation that the droughts, which have occurred during the summer months for the last several years have substantially decreased the amount of vegetation in France and Europe. Vegetation binds CO2 and removes it from the atmosphere. But the capitalists simply lie about the extent of the disaster or deny it and pretend to go through the motions of dealing with it, because capitalism simply cannot deal with it. Articles are written expressly to disavow the truth and to keep the masses confused, because a confused person cannot act. For example, an article in the New York Times, Nov 2, 2005 entitled: “Climate Study Warns of Warming and Losses of Arctic Tundra,†cites an article in the co-called “The Journal of Climate.†The authors, from the Carnegie Institution and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the leading center for the development of the crazed First-Strike Star Wars weapons systems under Reagan (and now Bush) hide the actual atmospheric CO2 levels and present a deliberately false admittedly “simulated study†where “the CO2 level rises only about 0.45 % a year through 2300,†then the authors falsely “acknowledge†(!?) that value is “slightly less than the current rate, about 0.5 % (!).†Which is another Big Lie! The objective of this Big Lie is to bury the October 11, 2004 British Guardian report, which documents that for the last 3 years the CO2 in the atmospheric has no longer been increasing additively but is now beginning to increase exponentially!
The recent hurricanes such as Katrina, Rita and Wilma are just the beginning. The situation will arise in the not too distant future where the entire southern coast of the United States becomes basically uninhabitable. The U.S. Government knows this very well. The huge war budget of almost $500 billion a year which does not even include the $190 billion earmarked for the War on Iraq, combined with the goal of diverting all possible monies from social spending in order to reduce the population through Social Darwinism are the real reasons why the capitalists refuse to protect New Orleans and other areas on the Gulf Coast by designing a Levee System to withstand milder Category 3 hurricanes—not Category 5 Hurricanes, which are the new reality! A brazen set-up to ensure future mass murder using the weather to achieve their goals! What a joke! Bad joke on us! This key fact is completely covered up in the phony government reports on Hurricane Katrina pathetically labeled The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina, Lesson Learned. (!?!) Even the interim report by the Army Corps of Engineers by the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force covered up the key facts, a cover-up which will result in many repeats of Hurricane Katrina in years to come. The final report of the Army Corps of Engineers released on June 1, 2006 took responsibility but simultaneously falsely absolved the Corps and the U.S. government of all blame claiming that there had been no neglect or malfeasance even while admitting that it had ignored repeated warnings from multiple sources about the inadequacy of the deliberately poor quality levees it had built in order to save money. (!) (New York Times, June 2, 2006.) The report praised later as a mea culpa is rife with phony excuses that “the corps has trouble keeping up with the fast changing world of geotechnical engineering†and was released as sections of the levees now being partially rebuilt are now falling apart because of the very same “design failures.†(Ibid.) The Corps of Engineers has no intention whatsoever of designing the levees to withstand a Category 5 Hurricane and is presently only going through the motions of “protecting New Orleans.â€
Although the capitalists have reported that 2005 was the hottest year on record since instrumental measurement of temperatures began to be recorded in the 1860’s and are forced to admit that there were more hurricanes (26) in 2005 than in any year since the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began keeping records in the mid 1880’s, they falsely state that it is only “a cycle of frenetic hurricane activity which started a decade ago, and which could last up to 40 years, (?)†with the implication that things will get better after 40 years!? Right! See New York Times, November 11, 2005. The so-called El Nino weather patterns, which are an unusual rise in sea-surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, function as a kind of temperature release valve whereby the heat which winds up in the ocean currents and weather systems is released in increased rainfall across the southern tier of the US and in Peru. Previously El Nino has caused destructive flooding, and drought in the West Pacific and devastating brush fires in Australia. Although the number of El Nino weather patterns has increased with the Global Warming, they have not been able to reduce the water temperature back to normal! An increased number of hurricanes of increasing severity has been the result of this increased ocean temperature which can no longer be reduced through the El Nino temperature release valve. This is a result of the beginning of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect and more confirmation that it has begun!
The capitalists’ phony “experts†and media army of professional liars cover up the fact that the Runaway Greenhouse Effect has begun and that capitalism has no intention of doing anything which could possibly reverse it due to the simple fact that the U.S. economy is controlled primarily by the oil industry and the military industrial complex. One quarter of U.S. imports and exports pass through the Gulf States and one quarter of oil refining has also taken place in the Gulf States, to say nothing of the drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. The capitalists’ response to the renewed focus on “Global Warming†after these hurricanes has been front page articles in the New York Times which point to the loss of ice cover in the Arctic and Greenland and bizarrely shout: “Hurray, the Global Warming has a the silver lining†and “Hints of Bonanza Beneath Arctic Ocean—A Vast source of greenhouse gases may await drilling.†(New York Times, June 1, 2006) The decreasing ice cover now makes it possible to begin drilling for oil full scale in the Arctic! The Northwest Passage will be open to save money on shipping costs! Isn’t that great? In addition, the capitalists have used these recent hurricane disasters as the pretext to cut social programs and escalate the economic war against their own domestic population under the fraudulent slogans of “necessity,†“shared sacrifice,†“tough love†and “tough choices!†This economic war against the U.S. population is codified in legislation such as the Deficit Reduction Act and the $2.77 Trillion Federal Budget, which makes huge cuts in Medicare and Medicaid and student loans while increasing the Department of War budget to $493 billion, not including the $190 billion for the continuing invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. The capitalists’ objective as described below in more detail is to reduce the world’s population overall by bringing people to an earlier death by every means possible using every conceivable false pretext combined with denial. This Fascist policy, known as Social Darwinism, is being implemented by capitalist governments worldwide as their answer to the population explosion, and has previously relied on economic warfare, which can sometimes conveniently result in famine, and also biological warfare directed against crops and livestock and humans (as in Cuba!), but also military warfare and deliberately incited civil wars as in the former Yugoslavia and Iraq, although many Iraqis do see through this, as mentioned above, and have resisted it. As mentioned one of the primary motives for switching to on corn based ethanol and other bio-fuels is to help to bring a larger number of people to an early death by creating mass starvation in Africa and worldwide by diverting grain to fuel production under the ridiculous Big Lie pretext of “going green†“solving the energy crisis!â€

When historical opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot probably be estimated. From that minute we now have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer.
