Goethe has an aphorism in which he says that every time he saw a typo, he thought something new was created. With "Anerican economy" you probably created something new and fitting to describe the economic apocalypse that now beckons the US.
Like Croesus, he destroyed a great empire - too bad it was his own.
Xeno,
I thought I knew my Goethe, but I cannot remember seeing such an aphorism. It would be very kind of you to quote the original.
Six months after he leaves the White House, George 'Legacy' Bush will be lauded by the official historians as one of the greatest American Presidents ever...
Xymphora, 19th July, 2008.
Posthumously, one would hope; and presumably only by 'historians' eager to experience the dubious pleasure of being lynched by Bush's millions of Paupers Nouveau.
And in competition with the archives of hundreds of Great Moments in Presidential Speeches from Letterman, not forgetting some pretty slick parody gems from the Daily Show...
Grettir, if you keep on calling my bluffs, soon I wont be able to post here any more.
"Ich denke immer, wenn ich einen Druckfehler sehe, es sei etwas Neues erfunden."

monkey george will be remembered as one of the three turdmen of the apocalypse: geo, dick, and don.
via these turds, evil was given free reign to control and to destroy.
official historians write for the nyt and the coffee table. each an excellent place for dust to rest.
monkey geo will be retired to his cage at the crawford zoo. crash his bike and stumble around. no one will seek his advice. jews will no longer need his signature to make their crimes legal. local bars might invite him to do howdy doody smiles.
George will not retire to Crawford which was nothing more than a Reaganesque charade complete with brush clearing opportunities. He will retire to the wealthy University Park suburb of Dallas where he has always lived and where he will be an incredible embarrassment to the liberal intellectual and Methodist community surrounding SMU. A besmirchment that is even now provoking nausea and mass puking
History will not speak well of Bush believe me, that is of course if the jews don't rewrite history as they have done so many times before.
The real Bush legacy
1.) waged to wars based of false intelligence killing a million plus innocent civlian (collateral damage) casualties
2.) conducted political assassinations
3.)tanked the entire US economy, from the production GNP standpoint to import pricing, there is no reason why we should be paying $4.50/gallon for fuel other than shear corporate greed.
4.)open borders campaign to allow as many eastern euro criminals into this country as possible, can someone tell me why the MOSSAD is allowed freely into this country? They are also allowed to plunder finances and flee back to the "shitty little country" at will. We should be hunting these bastards down and executing them as spy agents or outright terrorists.
5.) his crime mob of cabinet members that have stolen trillions of the nations currency unquestioned , while thousands if not millions are homeless
we have Iraq war vets that are not offered even the most basic medical care.
6.) Rumsfeld and his aspertame scheme
..... it just goes on and on!
Xeno,
Thanks. It was "typo" that set me on the wrong scent. Perhaps "misprint" is more natural?
In any case thanks.
Incidentally, I am thinking of replacing my ancient DTV. Could you, or of course anyone else, recommend a good Gesamtausgabe, for preference with decent notes and commentary. The only constraint is that we OAPs don't have buckets of cash.
Grettir, of course "misprint" is the correct translation, and the sentence is a reflection, not an aphorism as I put above. I quoted from memory, and looked up as you've requested, not the other way around.
I only look up and cite poets randomly when I want to impress ladies and trolls.
BTW, I'm not sure what DTV stands for; your pocket-book collection?

A new theory on September 11
..a while ago...
Via Niqnaq, via WSJ, a Fox inteview with John Bolton.
John's imagination is running riot, this is how Iran manages to pose a credible to the good folks of North America.
"Bolton: I think they do pose a threat. ... it's entirely possible they could put a missile on a tramp steamer, ... and that would put them in range of the United States."
Tramp steamer? John, take it easy.
The US has the most powerful navy in the world, have a bit of faith in the system.
Why would Iran want to provoke the retaliation of that gorgon with a silly and ineffectual missile in tramp steamer stunt?
The same goes for the Ukranian nuclear missile idea, they have probably run that possibility through their strategic modeling routine and come up with a big fat no.
Everything should be OK as long as we don't organize a military exercise where the result of your fevered imaginations is adopted as the main theme of said exercise.
(If they got wind of it they may use it for cover, you know, get under the radar, so to speak, and then point the finger at someone else, the Pakis for instance, then we would attack the Pakis and they (the Iranians) would be sniggering in their beards about how they put one over on us.)
You should probably take it easy for a while, I find that a week or so on just decaf gets rid of that hyper spacey feeling.
Sorry about the typos, I will try harder, I promise.

Global warming denial is getting technical, delving into the minutiae and coming up with a hogwash verdict.
Here is a snippet from a recent effort,
"Since the equation [f = (1 – bκ
–1] → ∞ as b → [κ–1 = 3.2 W m–2 K–1], the feedback-sum b cannot exceed 3.2 W m–2 K–1 without inducing a runaway greenhouse effect.
Since no such effect has been observed or inferred in more than half a billion years of climate, since the concentration of CO2 in the Cambrian atmosphere approached 20 times today’s concentration, with an inferred mean global surface temperature no more than 7 °K higher than today’s (Figure 7), and since a feedback-induced runaway greenhouse effect would occur even in today’s climate where b >= 3.2 W m–2 K–1 but has not occurred, the IPCC’s high-end estimates of the magnitude of individual temperature feedbacks are very likely to be excessive, implying that its central estimates are also likely to be excessive."

Israel’s collective psychosis: The denial syndrome
20/07/2008 , via Umkahlil
by Khalid Amayreh
This week, Israel sank in an avalanche of national lethargy, hypocrisy and self-righteousness.
Seeking to cope with Hezbullah’s success in getting Israel to release all Lebanese prisoners, dead and living, in exchange for the remains of two Israeli soldiers, Israeli leaders, media and shapers of public opinion have been indulging in sanctimonious self-glorification while denouncing the other side as “hateful, uncivilized and representing an inferior culture.”
This is a characteristic Israeli behavior. It perfectly characterizes a society that has been living in a state of denial ever since Zionist gangs, aided by western powers, succeeded in uprooting the bulk of native Palestinians from Palestine, their ancestral homeland, and implanting therein Israel, a state based on racism, terror, ethnic cleansing and falsification of history.
The orgy of lying, especially the shocking amenability of most Zionist Jews to take the obscene lies at face value caricatures a people that dreads knowing the truth, let alone coping with it.
And when the truth eventually manages to penetrate the “iron wall” of Zionist lies, the custodians of the big lie, which is Zionism, resort to a whole set of defense mechanisms to protect the collective mental sanity of a state whose very existence constitutes a crime against humanity.
Thus, according to this depraved and psychotic mindset, Israel doesn’t murder children and innocent civilians, It is only the victims that bring death upon themselves. And Israelis don’t steal the land and property of Palestinians, since the entire world was created for the sake of the “chosen people.”
And even when Jews do commit “certain mistakes” and “abominable sins,” they are not really to blame for that since it is the victims that always force Jews to make these mistakes.
Hence, the proverbial Palestinian victim of Israeli savagery is always responsible for the demolition of his own home, the murder of his own children and the destruction of his own farm, grove and orchard by Israeli bulldozer!!
Eventually, the entire Palestinian Nakba is a self-inflicted calamity which the Palestinians brought upon themselves because they refused to succumb to the will of the “chosen people.” More to the point, if the Palestinians don’t come to terms with the Nakba and the occupation, a greater Nakba, or holocaust, would be inflicted upon them.
Interestingly, the wave of self-righteous overindulgence in Israel has been led by the establishment people, figures that know too well that Israel doesn’t really represent the culture of peace, but rather the culture of war and aggression; they know that Israel is inculcated with a criminal and murderous mentality that differs very little from the Nazi mentality.
Yes, they do know all of this, but like all murderers, thieves and liars, they dread facing the truth. The truth would simply
page 2
Yes, they do know all of this, but like all murderers, thieves and liars, they dread facing the truth. The truth would simply make them lose their raison d’etre. This is why they always try to turn the black into white, the white into black and the big lie into a “truth” glorified by millions of “beneficiaries” at home and ignorant “fans” abroad.
It may be particularly difficult to convince the “beneficiaries” of their sinfulness, namely the fact that they are living in homes that belong to other people and living on land that belongs to another people.
However, for the sake of the ignorant or naďve fans in Europe and north America as well as the rest of the world, it is imperative that they be delivered from the grip of Zionist lies.
Yes, westerners must be allowed to know the naked truth about this sick and sickening state that deceptively claims to be the sole true inheritor of Judaism while its ideology, behavior and actions are antithetical to all religious and moral values that stress universal justice and human equality.
Let us remember some of the “glorious expressions” of the Zionist culture of love and self-abnegation in recent years.
Chris Hedges is a prominent journalist and author specialized in American and Middle Eastern politics. He worked for a number of publications including the Christian Science Monitor, the Dallas Morning News and the New York Times where he spent 15 years.
In his recent book, War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning, Hedges tells a chilling story from his trip to the Gaza Strip in the heydays of the intifada, or the second Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation.
Hedges watched, ten- and eleven-year-old Palestinian children being lured to their neighborhood’s perimeter fence by taunts from a loudspeaker on the Israeli side. “Where are all the dogs of Khan Younis? Come! Come!" The Israeli voice barked insults at the boys’ mothers.
The boys responded by hurling their rocks at the jeep with the loudspeaker. The Israelis shot at them with M-16s fitted with silencers. Hedges found the victims in the hospital, children with their stomachs ripped out, and with gaping holes in their limbs.
Writing for “Harper’s Magazine” (see The Nation, March 11, 2002), Hedges wrote: “ Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered. Death squads gunned them down in El Salvador and Guatemala, mothers with infants were lined up and massacred in Algeria, and Serb snipers put children in their sights in Sarajevo, but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport.”
Here is another “expression of love:” In November, 2001, an undercover unit of the Israeli army buried a landmine in the sand that flows around Abdullah Siyam Primary School in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
A few hours later, as Palestinian children headed to school, the mine exploded. Five school kids were instantly reduced to broken flesh. The youngest was
page 3
A few hours later, as Palestinian children headed to school, the mine exploded. Five school kids were instantly reduced to broken flesh. The youngest was six. All the victims came from the same extended family: Akram Naim Astal, 6, and his brother Mohammed, 13; Omar Idris Astal, 12, and his brother Anis, 10; and their cousin Muhamemd Sultan Astal, 12. Their young bodies were mutilated beyond recognition. The limbs of one child were found 50 meters away. Some of the kids could only be identified by their school bags, brightly colored and spattered with blood, still dangling from their butchered bodies.
Hasbara doctors in Israel might seek to extenuate the gravity or even whitewash these crimes by claiming that these were “individual acts” that didn’t reflect the overall policy of the Israeli government and army.
However, this is a big lie. In 2001, the noted Israeli award-wining journalist Amira Hass interviewed an Israeli sniper in which the soldier described the commands he received from his superiors:
“Twelve and up, you are allowed to shoot. That is what they tell us,” the soldier said. “So,” responded the reporter, “according to the IDF, the appropriate minimum age group at which to shoot is 12.” The soldier replied: “this is according to what the IDF says to its soldiers. I don’t know if this is what the IDF says to the media.”
A further “expression of love and humanity of Israeli culture” manifested itself, also in Gaza, in 2004, when an Israeli occupation army soldier, dubbed Captain-R, shot a Palestinian girl, Iman al Hums, who was on her way to school. However, the soldier was not sure whether the 13-year-girl died or not. Hence, he walked to the bleeding child, and instead of trying to save her life, he shot here 25 times, emptying his entire magazine of bullets into her tender body. He did what he did in order “ to verify the kill,” a standard Israeli army practice in such circumstances
Now, the reader might be prompted to think that the bloodthirsty murderer was arrested and made to stand trial for his hair-raising crime. Well, the opposite happened. The soldier not only was innocent of any wrongdoing but was also awarded tens of thousands of dollars for being “hurt and libeled by unfavorable media coverage.”
In truth, it is not only Israeli army soldiers and officers who willfully indulge in such Nazi behavior. Zionist rabbis routinely issue religious edicts that would allow Israeli troops to murder non-Jewish children knowingly and deliberately without having to worry about any ramifications, moral or otherwise.
In May 2007, shortly before Israeli occupation soldiers murdered two Gaza children who apparently were searching for scrap metal to sell for a few cents in order help feed their impoverished families, the former Israeli Chief rabbi, Mordechai Elyahu, petitioned the Israeli government to carry out a series of carpet bombing of Gaza population centers.
Elyahu argued that a ground invasion of t
page 4/4
Elyahu argued that a ground invasion of the world’s most crowded spot would endanger Israeli soldiers. He said “If they don’t stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand. And if they do not stop after 1,000, then we must kill 10,000. If they still don’t stop we must kill 100,000, even a million, whatever it takes to make them stop.”
Earlier, Elyahu, a prominent Talmudic sage, called on the Israeli occupation army not to refrain from killing Palestinian children if that means saving the lives of Israeli soldiers.
The above-mentioned are only sporadic examples of the barbarian spirit inculcated in Israelis, especially soldiers dispatched to the occupied Palestinian territories to guard the occupation and enforce apartheid.
It is this barbarian mindset that makes Israeli soldiers abduct Palestinian school children and take them to nearby Jewish settlements where they are used as “training objects” by Jewish youngsters. It is this barbarian mentality that makes Jewish soldiers force helpless Palestinian laborers do certain depraved acts such as drinking soldiers’ urine and singing, individually or in unison, “wahad Hommas, wahad fool, Allah Iyhay-yee Mishmar Gvul” (one ‘dish’ hummus, one broad beans, may Allah greet the Border Police)!!!
There are of course thousands, even tens of thousands, of examples which one could easily and readily cite to underscore Israeli barbarianism.
To be sure, this disgraceful reality is known to many Israelis. In 2001, Shulamit Aloni, a former minister of education, wrote in the Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv that “we have become a barbarian people.”
So, what makes a leftist, liberal woman see in Israel what the vast bulk of Israelis, including the country’s intelligentsia, wouldn’t see, or more correctly, wouldn’t want to see.
Well, it is Israel’s collective psychosis, the denial syndrome.
It would've only taken one or two more rounds to verify a kill, especially at a range that would allow you to put it exactly where you wanted at your leisure (not to mention a range highly suspicious if hidden explosives were ever feared!). FBI snipers have a shot through the upper lip and teeth that, when it reaches the other end of your melon, severs the spinal cord. Is Tzahal unable to imagine this or anything else better than emptying 25 rounds? The paradigm we keep coming back to is the immature Jew, the overgrown child Jew, the hyper-emotional, almost perfectly pre-reason and usually shreiking Jew. Emptying your magazine into anyone is an emotional act, a nonvocal scream, with no military purpose.
You know, we had a disgusting little idea we were tossing around about an exploitation story where prison guards forced their prisoners to exercise, then
claimed there was no water but they would gladly out of the goodness of the hearts and bladders alow the prisoners to drink their urine. We talked about publishing this online under a different name at a free porn site and dismissed it for a variety of reasons, such as we did not want any fan mail from anyone else who would actually like reading about this, we did not want to be seen as condoning or making light of the torture Bush and company are normalizing, but also because the prison in the story inevitably came to be an Israeli prison with that special Jewish cruelty that comes from self-righteousness melded with a memory of innovative ancestral suffering, and we said, Zionists will use it to say people exaggerate, because nobody in Israel is sick enough to go near this in real life. And of course just like having your low expectations for Commander Bunnypants Bush smashed through as by a falling airliner,
"Jewish soldiers force helpless Palestinian laborers do certain depraved acts such as drinking soldiers’ urine"
At least in our story the urine was relatively pure, the prisoners were given a semblance of a choice and the context was antirealistic porn. The reality turns out to be worse than we can imagine.

Gore lets his mask slip : Tax the poor more than the rich
When Gore advocates that the single most important policy change would be to "tax what we burn - not what we earn", he really means we should shift the burden of taxation away from the rich capitalist towards the rest of society since a person earning ten million dollars doesn't burn one thousand times as much fuel as a person earning ten thousand....

News - Middle East - Bolton admits Lebanon truce block
BBC
Former US envoy John Bolton says he resisted ceasefire calls in Lebanon to give Israel time to defeat Hezbollah. Mr Bolton said an early ceasefire would have been "dangerous and misguided"....
....economy? - er, they may not want to mention that.
Q: Are we looking at a financial system "avalanche" rather than a technical bear market, in equities and bonds?
A: In no way can this be seen as a normal bear market. This is undoubtedly the worst financial crisis in the developed world since the 1930s. The only period remotely similar was the bear market of 1973-75, which was itself a part of the extended 1966-82 bear market in US shares. That bear market was driven in part by a 13 fold increase in oil prices from 1972 to 1980. This time we have had a 14 fold increase in oil prices from the $10 low of 1999. Last time we had massive inflation of 20 percent per annum. That has not yet arrived but may well be in the pipeline. .......
However, in my view, the situation is far worse this time since the US financial system is extraordinarily stretched and stressed. Last time we only had the minor bankruptcies of Franklin National Bank and Continental Bank to contend with. Then there were no derivatives. This time they amount to more than 10 times world GDP and a greater multiple of bank capital. Within that total the most toxic ones are those unlisted, opaque, over the counter variety amounting to over $50 trillion, again multiples of US bank capital.......
When Chou En-Lai was asked by Kissinger if he thought the French Revolution had been a success he responded ‘it's too soon to tell'. That applies to the current situation. But we could be looking at $6 trillion in mark downs of housing wealth, $3-4 trillion in stock market losses if we get a 25-35 percent mark down in the market – and it could be worse – and then we have the losses of the banking system. So we are talking about possibly $10 trillion as compared with a GDP of $13 trillion. Proportionally, I would look for the UK to suffer similarly. It's not chicken feed!....

Perhaps surprisingly, Schiff stood opposed to political, secular Zionism. He claimed to identify with Jews by faith, not by race. However, despite not agreeing fully with the ideas of Theodore Herzl, and in fact believing that Zionism was not compatible with American citizenship, he donated to many Jewish projects in Palestine, including the Technical Institute of Haifa. As the situation for Eastern European Jews grew more dire, with the Russian Revolution, and pogroms in Ukraine, Schiff made more considerable contributions to the Zionist effort; he even offered to join the Zionist organization, provided he could publish a statement he'd prepared. This offer was denied, and so he never formally joined the Zionist camp.
But he still gave them the money. Judge them by their deeds not their words.

Israel, Iran and the Bomb
http://online.wsj.com/article/
SB...1801452581.html
Yes, Iran cannot deliver a nuclear weapon on target today, and perhaps not for several years... If Iran reaches weaponization before State's jaunty prediction, the Middle East, and indeed global, balance of power changes in potentially catastrophic ways.
we must face a very hard issue: What will the U.S. do if Israel decides to initiate military action? There was a time when the Bush administration might itself have seriously considered using force, but all public signs are that such a moment has passed....
When the real source of the threat, not just a surrogate, nears the capacity for nuclear Holocaust, can anyone seriously doubt Israel's propensities, whatever the impact on gasoline prices?
Thus, instead of debating how much longer to continue five years of failed diplomacy, we should be intensively considering what cooperation the U.S. will extend to Israel before, during and after a strike on Iran.

John Bolton's analysis of "Israel, Iran and the Bomb" is brilliant, incisive and correct. There is another factor which is implicit in his article but it is important that it be made explicit.
It lies within the DNA of Israel that "Never Again" is a fundamental precept of Israel and every thinking Jew, and ought to be part of the DNA of all decent people. .......

New York Times...... Using Bombs to Stave Off War..... By BENNY MORRIS July 18, 2008
ISRAEL will almost surely attack Iran’s nuclear sites in the next four to seven months — and the leaders in Washington and even Tehran should hope that the attack will be successful enough to cause at least a significant delay in the Iranian production schedule, if not complete destruction, of that country’s nuclear program. Because if the attack fails, the Middle East will almost certainly face a nuclear war... To be sure, this would mean thousands of Iranian casualties and international humiliation. But the alternative is an Iran turned into a nuclear wasteland.
In the New York Times !
To threaten war without being endangered by the other, Iran, based on imagined phantasies is plain criminal, as it goes on for hundred years.

Gillerman: Iran likelier to use nukes via proxies -
July 20.08 Jerusalem Post
The danger posed by a nuclear-armed Iran is not in that the Islamic Republic may launch an atomic bomb at Israel, but in that it could provide such a weapon to terrorist groups in the region, outgoing Israeli Ambassador to the UN Dan Gillerman told The New York Times.

................
Dan Gillerman brings up all the bogymen to justify Israel's position. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the intentional misinterpretation of his statement. Adolf Hitler (which brings the 6 million to mind we are all suppose to still be mourning), the crusades (we are all suppose to be ashamed of). I'm surprised he forgot the Inquisition but then this was an interview on the fly. The fact that he brought up Mandel shows he isn't a racist and that he's for freedom of the oppressed. But my favorite is the logic that says because Muslims kill Muslims why should it matter that Jews kill Muslims. Lets turn that around. Because Jews kill Jews, why should it matter that anyone else (particularly Germans) kill Jews?
Medvedev and Nicholas II on the international law

MOSCOW. (John Laughland, Director of Studies at the Institute for Democracy and Cooperation in Paris, for RIA Novosti) -
In his foreign policy speech to the diplomatic corps in Moscow on 15 July, President Dmitri Medvedev made the interesting claim that the falsification of history is often a prelude to the violation of international law - something for which he implicitly attacked the West. It is certainly true that the study of the history of the law of nations can illuminate the way it has recently been perverted. And as it happens, that history is one in which Russia has played a key role.
Medvedev's address, and especially his call for a Europe-wide security treaty, recall the initiatives taken by Russia's last emperor, Nicholas II, the 90th anniversary of whose murder fell the following evening. Tsar Nicholas' violent overthrow in 1917 has obscured the historical memory of his achievements, but perhaps the greatest of these was his decision, taken 110 years ago in 1898, to invite the Great Powers to attend an international peace conference. They did so, in the capital of the Netherlands in 1899, and this, the first Hague Peace Conference, took important decisions about how to make warfare more civilised.
It's a pity no-one saw Bush coming. But Presidential hopeless, John McCain, ain't so lucky - everyone knows he's a silly old fart, and if anyone forgets, McCain is only too happy to remind them - on an almost daily basis.
His latest howler was a public reminder that Iraq and Pakistan have a common border...

If McCain misses out on becoming the President of the United States of America, maybe the UN will grant him the honorary title of President of the Iraq-Pakistan Border. If the job proved to be too demanding then that other ignorant, insane US wanker, Bolton, would be perfect as his VP...
We get accustomed to ideas as time goes by and MSM and we ourselves kind of speculate about obama and mccain possibilities...Should I know anything about history, after all the human and financial disaster they (the neocons) have created, they won't let the power drop from their hands...no evil let that happen ever before without a fight...only the USSR...unless it was no real evil
