THE CHURCH OF NEOLIBERAL EVANGELICALS ~ TRUMP'S CABINET











During these dark times, I increasingly find myself drawn to alternative media commentators whose intellect and honest words of truth are music for my soul. One of these is Professor Henry Giroux, Internationally acclaimed professor and author, who offers his comments regarding president-elect Donald Trump's mainly white, male, wealthy and with few exceptions highly corporatized and militarized cabinet which could well lead to a new kind of neo-fascism ~ an American form of authoritarianism and autocracy: Allen L Roland. PhD

 

 

"I mean, this couldn't be made up. I mean, this group of stooges, cronies and misfits, I mean, it would be hard for Orwell, Huxley or Kafka, to even have imagined that one day in the United States, you would have a government with this assemblage of people who basically as a whole, speak to a kind of authoritarianism that breeds not just misfortune and hate and intolerance, but prides itself on its own incompetence.":  Professor Henry Giroux, a Professor for Scholarship in the Public Interest at McMaster University and author. His latest books are 'America's Addiction to terrorism' and 'America At War With Itself'

 

 

Paul Jay is a journalist, filmmaker, and the founder and CEO of The Real News Network and here is his recent assessment of the of President-elect Trump, expressed in a letter to his viewers, regarding Trump's questionable appointments ~ "Donald Trump is not an aberration. He's the raw and naked face of an economic system that showers speculators with obscene riches and political power ~ "I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few." ~ That’s a quote attributed to Adolf Hitler. Donald Trump is not the only actor on the political stage who ascribes to such methods. The enablers of this surging far right “populism” are the leaders of both major political parties and the corporate media."  See article ~ http://therealnews.com/t2/story:18019:Donald-Trump%3A-The-Raw-and-Naked-Face-of-a-System-That-Showers-Speculators-with-Obscene-Riches

Professor Henry Giroux says Trump's cabinet appointments signal a future of more war, violent military interventions, and an embrace of Islamophobia ~ see Real News Network interview with Kim Brown ~ https://youtu.be/xiEFn0Ja6ms ~ 12 minute video

 

EXCERPT:

 

KIM BROWN: Trump, as the candidate, ran on a platform of populism and this phrase, "Drain the swamp." And his cabinet selection so far seem very antithetical to that. Henry, what are your thoughts about, "Draining the swamp." Does the swamp appear about to be drained?

 

HENRY GIROUX: "He's actually... adding more water to the swamp. I mean, he's not draining anything. He's hiring billionaires, he's hiring neo-liberal executives, he's hiring racists and right wing ultra-nationalists such as Michael Flynn and Stephen Bannon and Mike Pompeo. All of these people are basically Islamaphobics.

He's hiring anti-intellectuals who deny climate change, and are utterly incompetent. I mean, Ben Carson has been hired to run as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and he believes that social provisions simply weaken the social fabric. Can you imagine?

Rick Perry is a climate change denier, who wanted to abolish the department, and he couldn't even remember the name in an earlier presidential primary of the department he wanted to abolish.

Scott Pruitt is a climate change denier and is a puppet of the fossil fuel industry, and now Betsy DeVos... this is a trip!  Betsy DeVos is a religious extremist, who's going to head the Department of Education and hates public education, and has no experience with higher education ~ She once said, Kim, if you can believe this ~ that education is a way to advance God's Kingdom.

I mean... and of course, then there's Linda MacMahon, whose only qualification is she ran the premier pro-wrestling league, World Wrestling Entertainment."

 

A reminder to Donald Trump ~ "When a man is up to his neck in alligators, he has difficulty reminding himself that his initial objective was to drain the swamp.”

 

Happy New Year ~ there's a light at the end of this dark tunnel and hopefully it's not a train but do remember that the laws of positive karma apply only to moral greatness.

It will be  more of the same lies and deceptions in 2016 with the Plutocracy in full control and the truth a scarce commodity. Of course, the ultimate truth is that God is love, or a loving plan in action, and our ultimate destiny is being in sync with that loving plan from a place of gratitude and service. Maira Kalman and Rick Meyerowitz, NY Times, sketch out the 22 most likely scenarios for 2016 but #22 appears to unfortunately be a forgone conclusion and we may eventually have to resort to #16 to survive. Of course, I have a New York Times quiz for you which should generate a few knowing smiles as well as a poem of hope: Allen L Roland, PhD

Hillary in a plutocrat pant suit ~ Hypocrisy That Knows No Bounds

"Hillary shows all the classic characteristics of a plutocratic enabler. She’s a dedicated corporatist and a devout global imperialist. She really believes that we can lead the world by achieving military victory in the Iraqi-Syrian Frontier despite all evidence to the contrary. She really believes that with proper guidance the utterly ruthless American health care industry can be made kinder and gentler."  


 
"If you’re one of the millions of Americans who think Hillary Clinton would make a lousy president, then pat yourself on the back because she pretty much proved it yesterday. In a presentation to the Council on Foreign Relations, Clinton made it clear that if she’s elected in 2016, she’s going to drag the country straight to war.  Invoking the same imagery as her ideological twin, George W. Bush, Clinton fulminated for more than an hour and a half on Syria, war, terrorism, war, no-fly zones, war, radical jihadism, war, and “metastasizing threats”, whatever the heck those are. Oh, and did I mention war?"


 
"The world is once again being subjected to a Hillary Clinton campaign, with all the showmanship, pomp, hype, lies and distortions that the candidate is famous for. Her coronation seems to be a foregone conclusion, unless someone (anyone?) steps out of the shadows as then Senator Barack Obama did in 2008 and derails the speeding Hillary train".   Counterpunch/Robert Fantina ~ https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2015/10/16/hillary-clinton-hypocrisy-that-knows-no-bounds/ ~

 
Here's my favorite telling glimpse of war hawk Hillary caught between CBS TV takes commenting  jokingly on the cruel assassination of Muammar Gaddafi on October 11, 2011  ~ video"We came, We saw and He died"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtH7iv4ip1U

In the same spirit of truth, honesty and good humor going into 2016 ~ here's the New York Times New Year's quiz, which should generate a few smiles.

 
Here's two of the 13 questions ~


1.   In her final statement of the last 2015 debate, Hillary Clinton concluded …
  • “May the Force be with you.”
  • “We need to discuss the restroom issue.”
  • “Have I mentioned I’m a grandmother?”

5.    Jeb Bush told CBS that he’s happy with his current standing in the presidential race, but that he “really hated” it when …

     •    He was in front.
     •    He had to stand next to Donald Trump at two debates.
     *    People made fun of him for saying Margaret Thatcher’s picture should be on the 10-dollar bill.

 
Here's the quiz ~ http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/02/opinion/collins-our-new-year-quiz.html?emc=edit_th_20160102&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=65700837&_r=0

 
A Year of Hope 2016

Ada Aharoni – TRANSCEND Media Service

Despite our wars, despite our tears,
Despite our furtive fears
We welcome the smiling year of HOPE.

The power of women and children for peace is rising,
Democracy and the Internet are spreading,
Global poverty has been cut in half –
Never have ordinary people, like you and me,
Had more power to face challenges

And to decide our own fate of Nonkilling.
We’re poised on the edge between
Our oldest fears of terror and  war
And our deepest dreams of peace.

We face a choice – to rise to this moment in time
And be the PEACE we want to see –
It all depends on us, for we peace- lovers
Are the largest global community!

War is not democratic, and we have to catch it
By its ugly ears and drown it into
The vast ocean of violent history forever.

We peace-lovers are the parents of hope
And hope is the game changer in life.
Hope is the wing on which we rise
It is the map of how and where to fly
To throw Terror and War from the top of the cliff
Into the historical stormy ocean.

In this New Year, let’s hurry to joyfully embrace
The golden sunbeam of Hope gladly waltzing
To the music of a moving Chopin Waltz
Toward twinkling Global Peace.

OBAMA PLAYS LEAD FOR JAMIE DIMON AND THE FAT CATS ~ WHO OWN AND CONTROL AMERICA



Jamie Dimon’s gold embossed presidential seal cuff links, a gift from the president, are a blatant reminder that Obama plays lead to Jamie Dimon and the  fat cats ~ who obviously control America: Allen L Roland

Forbes rates JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon as the 41st most powerful person in the world with annual earnings of almost 21 million.
JPMorgan Chase is one of the Big Four banks of the United States with Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. According to Bloomberg, as of October 2011 JPMorgan Chase surpassed Bank Of America as the largest U.S. bank by assets.

So when Jamie Dimon waltzed into the Congressional hearings last week sporting his gift Presidential seal gold embossed cuff links from President Obama ~ it was a not so subtle in-your-face statement to congress and the American people of who not only owns but is in charge of America.

Jamie Dimon posing for Press with his presidential cuff links at recent congressional hearing

Jamie Dimon’s gift cuff links on full display

So let’s see what’s underneath this blatant act of arrogance.

Ellen Brown cuts to the quick with her recent brilliant analysis ~ The US Senate won’t touch Jamie Dimon because JPM derivatives prop up US Debt;

“ What is going on with this panel of senators?” asked Jon Stewart.  “They’re sucking up to Jamie Dimon like they’re on JPMorgan’s payroll.”  The explanation in a news clip that followed was that JPMorgan Chase is the biggest campaign donor to many of the members of the Banking Committee.
That is one obvious answer, but financial analysts Jim Willie and Rob Kirby think it may be something far larger, deeper, and more ominous…. The national debt is growing at $1.5 trillion per year.  Ultra-low interest rates MUST be maintained to prevent the debt from overwhelming the government budget.  Near-zero rates also need to be maintained because even a moderate rise would cause multi-trillion dollar derivative losses for the banks, and would remove the banks’ chief income stream, the arbitrage afforded by borrowing at 0% and investing at higher rates.
The low rates are maintained by interest rate swaps, called by Willie a “derivative tool which controls the bond market in a devious artificial manner.” 
Kirby contends that the only organization large enough to act as counterparty to some of these trades is the U.S. Treasury itself.  He suspects the Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund, a covert entity without oversight and accountable to no one. Kirby also notes that if publicly-traded companies (including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley) are deemed to be integral to U.S. national security (meaning protecting the integrity of the dollar), they can legally be excused from reporting their true financial condition.  They are allowed to keep two sets of books.
Interest rate swaps are now over 80 percent of the massive derivatives market, and JPMorgan holds about $57.5 trillion of them.  Without the protective JPMorgan swaps, interest rates on U.S. debt could follow those of Greece and climb to 30%.  CEO Dimon could, then, indeed be “the guy in charge”: he could be controlling the lever propping up the whole U.S. financial system.”.

Ellen Brown asks the key question ~ Is there no alternative but to succumb to the Mafia-like Wall Street protection racket of a covert derivatives trade in interest rate swaps?
“ As Willie and Kirby observe, that scheme itself must ultimately fail, and may have failed already.  They point to evidence that the JPM losses are not just $3 billion but $30 billion or more, and that JPM is actually bankrupt ;
The derivatives casino itself is just a last-ditch attempt to prop up a private pyramid scheme in fractional-reserve money creation, one that has progressed over several centuries through a series of “reserves” ~ from gold, to Fed-created “base money,” to mortgage-backed securities, to sovereign debt ostensibly protected with derivatives.  We’ve seen that the only real guarantor in all this is the government itself, first with FDIC insurance and then with government bailouts of too-big-to-fail banks.  If we the people are funding the banks, we should own them; and our national currency should be issued, not through banks at interest, but through our own sovereign government.”
See full article: http://webofdebt.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/why-the-senate-wont-touch-jamie-dimon-jpm-derivatives-prop-up-u-s-debt/#more-3936

Commodity Futures Trading Commission head and former Goldman Sachs partner Gary Gensler puts the credit swap problem in easy to understand terms;
“The swap market lacks necessary street lamps,” he said. “I think the American public still isn’t safe on these roads until we get the rules of the road in place. I think the America public was bystanders to taking on excessive risk in 2008, and we still have been.”
Now get this !  JPMorgan receives a government subsidy worth about $14 billion a year, according to research published by the International Monetary Fund. That $14 billion dollars represents 77 percent of JP Morgan’s net income for the past four quarters. In other words, U.S. taxpayers helped foot the bill for the multibillion-dollar trading loss that was the focus of last weeks hearings. See full report: http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/12054-jpmorgan-gets-14-billion-a-year-from-the-us-government

And there’s more ~ Here’s How JP Morgan makes hundreds of millions of dollars on food assistance programs / Republic Report.

We are all being played for suckers but If you think things are dangerous here ~ take a look at the Euro zone through the eyes of UKIP Nigel Farage ~ who rightfully calls the whole thing a giant Ponzi scheme. Here’s U.K. Independence Party Leader Nigel Farage discussing the causes of the financial crisis in Europe as well as the inadequacy of its present leadership . 6 minute video http://youtu.be/zTN7hL5fgWo

So there you have it, the global economic and monetary system is coming apart at the seams, the Banksters, both here and abroad, can no longer hide from the truth that Jamie Dimon and the fat cats own America as well as President Obama and congress ~ and that bailing out the banks always ends with tax payers paying the bill.

And speaking of taxpayers ~ where does half of the money that the IRS siphons off from the paychecks of its citizens in taxes every year go?
It's the war machine and a subject that the financial news media is strangely silent about.

REPUBLICAN DEBATES / ROMAN GAMES OR DEATH DUEL


While briefly watching the Republican so-called debate, I felt I was watching the Roman games or a death duel ~ with the crowd giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to various talking points between Romney and Perry along with six other participants who will most likely never be president: Allen L Roland

The Republican Debates deserve good satire and derision. Saturday Night Live is most certainly up to this simple task ~ especially with the abundance of material that is now available. For instance, Some of the Republican presidential candidates call Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” Some of them boast, to thunderous applause, about how many executions they’ve overseen and some of them stand smug and comfortable as their debate crowd boos a gay soldier serving in Iraq. Most of them, with the exception of Congressman Ron Paul, deserve to be ridiculed and laughed at ~ as Mark Twain well knew.

Thomas Friedman, NY Times, sets the stage by correctly nailing the duplicity of both parties in trying to reach a grand bargain ~ “If between now and November 2012 all we are going to have from our two parties is a death duel, not a grand bargain ~ Republicans blaming Obama for the bad economy and Obama running on how crazy the GOP has become ~ we will pay a very, very dear price.”

And that price we are already paying ~ but first let’s watch the GOP debate between Romney, Perry and the other six people who will most likely never be president through the satirical eyes of Saturday Night Live ~ 3 Minute Video ( Courtesy of National Journal

FUKUSHIMA / ONE OF THE GREATEST DISASTERS IN MODERN TIME


The silent monstrous killer of deadly radiation has been released at Fukushima and despite the denial of the Japanese government ~ its repercussions will be rapidly rising death rates. The lessons of Chernobyl 25 years ago offers Japan a deadly hint of what’s to come for clearly we are witnessing one of the greatest disasters in modern times: Allen L Roland

The mainstream media has all but buried the BP Deepwater Horizon drilling rig disaster off the coast of Louisiana on April 20, 2010 and the subsequent 210 million gallon oil gusher while Gulf coast residents continue to say “The oil is not gone. Dead wildlife are washing up on our shores by the hundreds, Entire livelihoods are in peril” in one of the world’s greatest ecological disasters.

Now the mainstream media is attempting to bury one of the greatest disasters in modern time in Fukushima where residents will soon be crying out that ” the radiation is not gone, people are dying and our livelihoods are in peril ” but this time other voices are being heard.

One of the most reliable voices speaking out on the Fukushima nuclear disaster is Arnie Gundersen who was an engineer and senior vice president with Danbury, Connecticut-based Nuclear Energy Services. He was as insider in commercial nuclear power generation, and understands reactor operation as well as any in his field.

Last week, when the Japanese government finally announced that the disaster rating at Fukushima went from 5 to 7 ~ the worst possible nuclear accident was finally acknowledged publicly. What went unacknowledged, according to Gundersen, was that in an instant the catastrophe became 100 times worse than had been previously reported. Each increase in numeric value officially acknowledges a ten-fold increase in level of nuclear disaster. In other words, from 5 to 7 was 10 x 10: or 100 times greater.

Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, interviewed Michio Kaku on her show last week and asked him the very same question about the raising of the category 5 to a 7 in par with Chernobyl. Dr. Michio Kaku ,professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York and the City College of New York, confirmed that Tokyo Electric has been in denial trying to downplay the full impact of this nuclear accident ~ “However, there's a mathematical formula by which you can determine what level this accident is. This accident has already released something in the order of 50,000 trillion becquerels of radiation. You do the math. That puts it right in the middle of a level 7 nuclear accident. Still less than Chernobyl; however, radiation is continuing to leak out of the reactors. The situation is not stable at all … So, you're looking at a ticking time bomb. It appears stable but the slightest disturbance from a secondary earthquake, a pipe break, an evacuation of the crew at Fukushima can set off a full scale nuclear meltdown at three nuclear power plants far beyond what we saw at Chernobyl.”

Kaku is not a guy to be sneezed at. He's a Japanese American physicist, a best-selling author, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of New York, and the author of A Physics of the Future. This is a well-known expert in this field. He's telling the truth, and the truth is this: the Japanese government is in denial and Fukushima is a ticking time bomb.

What remains unacknowledged is that Fukushima is continuing to release terabecquerels of radioactive poison and will continue to do so for months, if not years but the public is not fully getting this message.

Gunderson's video presentation is an absolute must-watch. In the 7 and 3/4 minute video here, he exposes a great deal, including previously confidential NRC and nuclear industry inside information. It's clear, according to Gundersen, that March 21st, ten days after the earthquake and tsunami, the Fukushima disaster was already rated a 7 and that the NRC, the Nuclear Industry, and TEPCO were already limiting the flow of Information and still are for that matter.

Today, we have reported evidence that the level of radioactivity in the seawater dramatically rose again. Iodine-131 spiked to 6,500 times the legal limit and levels of cesium-134 and cesium-137 rose nearly four fold.

It is here that we should address the lessons of Chernobyl ~ after 25 years, some of Chernobyl’s radioactive substances have either decayed or migrated deeper into the ground. Although levels of cesium-137 are slowly falling, concentrations of this damaging bioactive element remain high in many areas. Half of the cesium-137 deposited in 1986 will have decayed into relatively stable barium-137 by 2016 but a quarter of it will still remain in 2046 (60 years after the Chernobyl disaster)

Plants and animals continue to recycle cesium-137 through their tissue and consequently suffer from chronic radiation syndrome, increased mortality, reproductive losses and genetic defects.

The legacy of iodine-131 is although it decays relatively soon after the accident ~ enough of it inhaled or consumed in milk will cause a significant increase in thyroid cancer. A recent U.N. Report, drawing on studies by Western researchers, said 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer could be linked to Chernobyl but evidence regarding other diseases is inconclusive. Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusan researchers, however, say their studies show increased incidence of high blood pressure, stroke, vascular disease and non-malignant thyroid diseases among the after effects of Chernobyl.

I agree with Jim Kirwin who writes ~ “ Much has been made, by comparisons to Chernobyl; but that event involved just one reactor and the dimensions of its meltdown were only delayed one day before the Russian government ordered evacuations just 24 hours after the world heard about it. Japan chose the opposite course and has still not owned up to just how deadly the meltdown of their six reactors really is. The amount of radiation being released is staggering; but the massive attempt by business, by governments and by the entire nuclear industry to cover-this-up is a crime against humanity! The tonnage of the fuel rods that have melted and burned, so far, makes Chernobyl look like backyard fireworks, compared to what has already been released into the global environment which is already enough to kill the planet many times over. This is the unimaginable disaster that makes contrived-fiction look like children’s fairy-tales; because the lives of all of us depend directly on what the world does now to end this continuing nightmare.”

"Fish in nearby waters are now being measured at 4,000% above the Codex Alimentation limits for Iodine-131 and 447% of Cesium-137. Radioactive cesium has a half-life of 30 years. Radiation levels for the isotope are not considered “safe” for 10 to 20 times longer. The cesium released today will remain dangerous six centuries from now.... “Fukushima has become the dirty bomb of the Pacific"....("Radiation Spreads Worldwide", Freedom Against Censorship Thailand, Global Research, April 14, 2011)

Will Englund, Washington Post, offers on the LESSONS OF CHERNOBYL a hint of the fate that may well face Japan ~ “Near Pripyat, the abandoned and now overgrown dormitory city for Chernobyl, where moss grows on the central square and the wind thrums through the rusting Ferris wheel ~ lies a more haunting place. It was once the village of Kopachi, which happens to mean "Gravedigger" in Ukrainian. Every house there was buried in 1991 because of contamination. When Gravedigger was interred, only a nursery school was left standing, with a memorial to the Soviet soldiers and the fierce battles they fought here in World War II. "No one forgets. Nothing is forgotten," reads the plaque on the memorial. But because of Chernobyl there is now no one here to remember.” http://www.courierpress.com/news/2011/apr/10/chernobyl-may-teach-grim-lesson-to-japan/

Let us hope that the same fate will not befall Fukashima, Japan ~ which is already deserted and decaying.
