Difficult Decision Time, White House Hibernates

[From article]
You can play it either way, but "a plague on both their houses" didn't cut it in 1941, and it doesn't cut it in 2015.
The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 gave Hitler room to conquer Western Europe without fear of an attack on his rear. Stalin was a committed member of the pact until Hitler broke it, at which point Stalin brazenly pivoted to the Allies and demanded rights as a) a full partner and b) an aid recipient. FDR might have said, "Boy, watching Adolph and Uncle Joe battle it out would be great – fascists vs. communists, and no American boots on the ground."
[. . .]
FDR made a great many difficult and ugly decisions – aside from interning Japanese-American citizens and not bombing the railroad tracks to Auschwitz. In this context, he made two for what he thought was the greater good: ignoring Stalin's crimes, and committing all the resources necessary to achieve the unconditional surrender of Axis forces. He put the American economy on a war footing, drafted millions of soldiers, and dropped tons of bombs that often didn't distinguish between military forces and civilians. He believed that the faster the war ended, the better it was for the civilians and everyone else. It wasn't a perfect understanding – particularly for the Jews waiting for deliverance. But it was his understanding, and Truman concurred. Dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a calculated decision to take the casualties, including civilians, up front.
[. . .]
The Cold War was the diplomatic way of boxing in the USSR until it collapsed.
That is not a tactical proposal for coming to grips with the dual horrors of ISIS and Iran. It is a strategic one.
The United States, President Obama, has to decide who the primary enemy is and how best to stop that one. Vladimir Putin posits that ISIS comes first, and requests – begs – the West to take on Sunni jihadists while giving Shiite jihadists a pass.
[. . .]
It is untenable for the U.S. to continue to dither.
[. . .]
Spending half a billion dollars training small groups of Syrians who lie when they pledge to fight ISIS rather than Assad; failing to provide weapons to the Kurds, who constitute the only serious fighting force south of Turkey; doctoring CENTCOM intelligence; and hectoring Putin – as the president did and continues to do – are also doomed to failure.
[. . .]
Thomas Hobbes is the prophet. "Where there is no common power, there is no law, where no law, no injustice. Force, and fraud, are in war the cardinal virtues. No arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death: and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short."
If that works for you, fine. Otherwise, it is time to choose and get on with the war that is already raging around us.

Hitler or Stalin? The Case for Choosing
By Shoshana Bryen

Obama, The Chief Putz?

[From article]
Likewise, the prediction common on both the left and right that illegal immigrants will be now and forever Democrat voters is about as certain to come true as computer models of the future climate: i.e. not certain at all. Only Jews and blacks are doomed to vote eternally for Democrats even as the Dems screw them relentlessly into the ground. Not sure why. Maybe an evil curse. But hey, even Jews and blacks may one day come to their senses. As for illegal aliens? The future’s not ours to know.
And yes, I do believe Obama has a radical’s dislike of the country that has given him everything he is and has and that he wants to make us less of a power in the world. But who cares what he wants? I can virtually guarantee you our power is not going anywhere for at least a century or so. We are far, far more mighty and durable than people think. By not asserting American force, Obama can cause the death and oppression of many innocent people in far off lands — he already has. But as soon as we have a patriotic president again, our power will reassert itself and bring some sort of order back to the world.
[. . .]
Many people on the right think Obama is an Evil Leftist Genius. Not me. I think he is a hapless putz. I think his ideas are all wrong, his application of his ideas is incompetent, and the chaos that he causes with his wrongness and incompetence will not lead in the direction he thinks it will.
[. . .]
The guy is just a sad little schmuck who played cynical politics well and got promoted way above his competence. His policies won’t change the face of the nation. They’ll just make a mess that those who come after him will have to clean up.

Good Intentions Led U.S. To Tyranny

Threats To Freedom In U.S.

[From article]
Though the Holocaust ranks high among the great human tragedies, most people never consider the most important question: How did Adolf Hitler and the Nazis gain the power that they needed to commit such horror? Focusing solely on the evil of the Holocaust won't get us very far toward the goal of the Jewish slogan "Never Again."
[. . .]
Through the Enabling Act (1933), whose formal name was "A Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich," Hitler gained the power to enact laws with neither the involvement nor the approval of the Reichstag, Germany's parliament. The Enabling Act destroyed any remaining local autonomy.
[. . .]
Rudolph J. Rummel, professor of political science at the University of Hawaii and author of "Death by Government," estimated that since the beginning of the 20th century, governments have killed 170 million of their own citizens. Top government killers were the Soviet Union, which, between 1917 and 1987, killed 62 million of its own citizens, and the People's Republic of China, which, between 1949 and 1987, was responsible for the deaths of 35 million to 40 million of its citizens. In a distant third place were the Nazis, who murdered about 16 million Jews, Slavs, Serbs, Czechs, Poles, Ukrainians and others deemed misfits, such as homosexuals and the mentally ill.
[. . .]
We Americans ought to keep the fact in mind that Hitler, Stalin and Mao would have had more success in their reign of terror if they had the kind of control and information about their citizens that agencies such as the NSA, the IRS and the ATF have about us. You might ask, "What are you saying, Williams?" Just put it this way: No German who died before 1930 would have believed the Holocaust possible.

Boston Minister Laments Silence Of Public Officials and Alleged Victim Advocates After State Rep. is Expelled From Legislature For Attacking A Woman

Posted February 7, 2014 8:28 PM ET; Last updated February 9, 2014 5:45 AM ET

[From article]

What especially concerns me is how black leadership, most recently the NAACP, has supported Henriquez in his desperate attempt to stay in office, or has remained silent on the issue. This is as disgraceful as the violence itself. Black leaders have, with rare
exceptions, failed to raise their voices to call for Henriquez’s expulsion from the Legislature.
As a black man, I am outraged. The black political leadership of the city and the state have not displayed courage in repudiating the misbehavior of their own.
Perhaps more amazing is the silence of black female elected officials. The same must be said of the various anti-violence groups, not least those that are led by black women. Where were their voices?

Don't feel bad Rev. Scott. People in Massachusetts, see, hear and speak no evil. Cambridge city officials and Harvard University officials and their police employees, dominated by limousine liberals, "always" speak for the "most vulnerable." Meanwhile they allowed and joined in a 43-year-ongoing program of harassment, insults, provocations, humiliation, ridicule, abuse, character assassination of a 70-year-old white man who they all say is "crazy." City, state and U.S. taxpayer funded agencies whose mission is to protect such persons join in or stand by and allow it to continue. Currently it is a Harvard University campus policeman. The lesbian graduate student in psychology at Harvard University Medical School who was conducting a criminal behavior conditioning campaign trying to make me into a homosexual failed. The Harvard University campus police officer who protected her, appeared at my residence to take her place disturbing my sleep, tampering with my browser, operating system, and causing my computer to crash. In the film Five Easy Pieces, a woman asks Susan Anspach, "Don't you think that more harm has been done in the name of love than in the name of evil?" Anspach gets upset and walks out. I'm told that this policeman "loves" me. Huh? Probably loves me like the woman who told everyone I met and everyone I knew and know, "He's a retired drug dealer." She and her husband too said they loved me. With friends like these who needs enemies? How long before the President of Harvard University and the General Counsel appear on premises to do the same? Harvard and Cambridge residents love to torment people they believe are vulnerable and unable to fight back. They say they speak for them. It is a charming state and it is to be expected that they remain silent about a state rep being jailed for attacking a woman. As Hillary Clinton said, "What difference does it make?"

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." -- Albert Einstein

Eliminating Evil and Crime

[From article]
All these shootings are united by one clear thread: They all were committed by visibly crazy people, known to be nuts but not institutionalized.
Mental illness was blindingly clear in the cases of Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Maj. Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood), Jared Loughner (Arizona shopping mall), James Holmes (Colorado movie theater), and a dozen other mass shootings in the past few decades.
[. . .]
Mass shootings don’t correlate with any of these things. They correlate with not locking up crazy people. We’re not worried about school kids being systematically gunned down by angry husbands, gang members or antique gun collectors. We’re worried about a psychotic showing up in a public place and shooting everyone in sight.
There’s absolutely no point in making it more difficult to buy firearms at gun shows — unless gun dealers have no trouble getting files on the mentally ill. Until we do that, we’re wasting our time.

Coulter refuses to recognize that anyone who disagrees with liberals is mentally ill. Under the Coulter doctrine it is essential to lock up people who disagree with liberals, and force them to take their medication. Liberals blame guns for mass shootings. Conservatives blame mental illness. Both are irrational. What happened to evil and criminals? Have they been vaporized by psychiatry?

Science Can Erase Memories

[From article]
Scientists have zapped an electrical current to people's brains to erase distressing memories, part of an ambitious quest to better treat ailments such as mental trauma, psychiatric disorders and drug addiction.
[. . .]
The experiment recalls the plot of the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," where an estranged couple erases memories of each other.
[. . .]
Their test subjects were 39 patients who were undergoing electroconvulsive therapy, for severe depression. In ECT treatment, patients get a muscle relaxant and an anesthetic and an electrical current is passed to part of their brains, triggering a brief seizure that can help treat the depression. It isn't clear how the technique works: Some scientists have suggested it changes the pattern of blood flow or metabolism in the brain, while others believe it releases certain chemicals in the brain that battle the depression.

So will this technique be available to defense attorneys who want to eliminate memories of witnesses? Who will regulate this technology? What I love about scientists who explore manipulating the minds of men, is that they seem to lack any common sense and any historical perspective. No matter what technology was discovered, invented, it is always found to be useful for crimes and terrorism. What is it that makes these geniuses unable to see what evil can be done with what they are doing?

In a Test, Unwanted Memories Are Erased
It Is Unclear Whether the Disappearance Is Permanent.

In The Name of Good, Hello Obama-Bloomberg

Clive Staples Lewis, 1898-1963

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis

Does this doctrine apply to psychiatry?

Memory Destroying Drugs Coming To Your Mind Soon

How wonderful! Now psychiatrists and anyone who can obtain these new memory-destroying drugs will now be able to prevent being identified as criminals. Technology being amoral makes it as easily available for evil as for good. Why is it that scientists do not know when to stop?

Scapegoat - Harvard Turns Good Samaritan Into Bad Samaritan

Like many traditional human activities Harvard University turned the notion of the good Samaritan on its ear. Historically if a human being came upon another human who was injured or unconscious or in need, the good Samaritan would stop to provide the aid or at least to summon someone who could. See. e.g., the Parable of the good Samaritan

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+10%3A25-37&version=NIV

Over the years the paradigm shifted to be the innocent bystander who had no obligation to act. Fear of getting involved was certainly an issue. Today when a crime victim calls police for assistance the police first investigate the caller.

Kitty Genovese, 28, was murdered while "38 people" in New York City stood by and watched. Researchers initially believed "the more people watching something bad happening to another person, the less likely it is that any one of them will intervene."
But others found, "that the New York Times coverage instrumental in enshrining Genovese’s murder in legend was less than completely accurate: There may have been just three eyewitnesses to the attack; most neighbors only heard portions of it; it’s possible none saw the final assault and murder. But the irony of Krueger’s analysis is that had there really been 38 people who watched Genovese get attacked, they would have been more likely to come to her aid, not less so."

Innocent Bystanders
“Genovese Syndrome,” amended.
New York Magazine

What difference does it make if it was 38 or 3 people who stood by and and did nothing? In this case in MA in 2012 there are hundreds of professionals many with taxpayer funding whose job is to protect citizens from harm; police and human services professionals who protect vulnerable persons. They have become bureaucracies serving themselves. In Cambridge even when there is a bank robbery the police do not reveal the description of the suspect. MA law requires medical professionals to ask patients over 60 if they feel safe at home. But they are only "interested" as they told me in domestic abuse. Only if the abusers are relatives, caregivers or housemates. But if strangers, i.e., police are the abusers they do not act.

At Harvard University the campus police join government criminals from the City of Cambridge attacking, harassing, threatening, provoking, ridiculing and humiliating a 69-year-old man who the police say is mentally ill. It doesn't mean that he is. It doesn't matter whether he is according to law. If an actor perceives another to have a disability that gives rise to protections from discrimination based on disability. That is very clearly stated in state and US laws. But in Cambridge, at Harvard, and across Massachusetts laws are optional. There are express provisions in the copies of the state and US constitutions on display at Harvard Law School which expressly provides exemptions from complying with laws to Harvard students, staff, faculty and building superintendents, but also to their campus police and to the employees of the city government. That is one provision of the constitutions that is always enforced in Cambridge and at Harvard.

One Harvard officer called the man "a space cadet" as he harassed him in front of his home one day. Another called him "a terrorist." The same one suggested that the man needed to provide a Christmas present for the cop. Cambridge police and Harvard campus cops took turns following provoking and intimidating the man for 30 years. They joined supporters of the Kennedy cult, prominent among Harvard sycophants, who broadcast for 30 years, character assassination one element of which was that the man was a retired drug dealer.

The modern paradigm of the good Samaritan at Harvard and in Cambridge was updated. When a person, whether having a duty or not, comes upon a person in need, e.g., a person being harassed by six crime families and Communists for 40 years, what does one do? Most people run for their bedrooms to hide in the fetal position. Others ask what did he do? Crime families, police, politicians and lawyers are known for their extreme spinelessness and ability to mislead others. Whatever the current explanation for the abuse is that day, the reaction of Harvard sociopaths and Cambridge psychopaths is "How can I make some money from this situation?" And for 35 years that is what they did and are doing.

Monday February 20, 2012 President's Day. A charming black homosexual Cambridge police officer (who lives or lived in nearby Medford, MA), who has reported ties to James Whitey Bulger, now on trial in Boston US District Court for 19 homicides while working as an FBI informant; arrived at the apartment above the 69-year-old-man-with-a-disability. The US attorney for Massachusetts dropped all unrelated-to-the-murders charges against Bulger, e.g., bribery, corruption, extortion. Some argue that the reason is not to embarrass local police offficers, state police officers, elected officials and especially legislators. Friendly journalists and FBI enablers, promoted the notion that when Bulger became a fugitive in 1995 all of his associates in and out of government simply vaporized. Ahem!

The older man under attack by Bulger's crime family and associates, lived through 40 years of criminal abuses by up to nine crime families, Communists from several states, FBI informant-criminals, and local police who like to beat up persons with disabilities. This charming black homosexual (priority victim?) has a specialty which he inflicts on the 69-year-old, a high tech experimental weapon which assaults the throat making it impossible to sit without coughing or spitting up. He is one of about two dozen current sociopaths at Harvard who attack the older man with these weapons.

Massachusetts has a state law making possession of them a felony. But since they are rogue police officers in Cambridge and at Harvard, that law is optional. The bureaucrat police commissioner, who never walked a police beat denies that the law applies to these weapons. He says they only apply to stun guns. But the law refers specifically to devices which emit waves and beams. Stun guns only transmit electricity through wires. But, who among the spineless politicians in Massachusetts will disagree with a police commissioner? Weak politicians with relaxed rectitude have their own problems avoiding getting arrested for their criminal activities with the coalition of homosexuals that runs the state government.

The black homosexual friend of Bulger visits about once every month. The daily work is done by a Harvard student, or a local black criminal who hates "whitey," or homosexuals who hate breeders or women who hate men. Currently that student is reportedly Lisa Wang alleged to be a UN affiliate. That is what the UN has become, more of the same abuses they are paid to stop. UN affiliates rape citizens in Africa committing the abuses they are paid to stop. In Cambridge at Harvard a student with ties to the UN leads the 42nd year of criminal harassment and abuse of a white male who police say is mentally ill. Charming what Harvard with its $32 billion endowment has become. Yet their media image remains strong and positive just like the Kennedy image, and the Obama image. Hehehe. Goebbels was right and they know it.

The response by human services professionals (funded by $2 billion in MA taxpayer funds each year) is "Can you prove that you are not mentally ill?" The reaction is similar to what is described in the recent biography "Unbroken" about Louis Zamperini. After being beaten daily for three years as a prisoner of war of the Japanese, he returned to his home in California. When he told his father and the Veteran's Administration psychiatrist what he lived through they did not believe him.

Evil Is The Cause of Violence

[From article]
"Who, as of, say, 1989, could have imagined that in barely 20 years, what was then known as the Free World could sink so far?
What we are seeing in London and other English cities is an outpouring of evil. To try to explain evil as the result of something else is almost always a mistake.
The urge to do evil is a primary motivation, not the indirect consequence of something else."

Stalin Was Evil Not Mentally Ill

Stalin's evil did not derive from his politics, or ideology. His brutal methods were approved and promoted by Trotsky and Lenin. He ruled by fear. He took lessons from Hitler too even though they were enemies. Lots more in recent biographies e.g., Edward Radzinsky's, Stalin, translated by H.T. Willetts, 1996. Stalin was no different than many early leaders in western Europe, the Middle East and Asia. They simply murdered their real or imagined enemies.

Cambridge Employs Bad People

If there is any doubt about Cambridge MA government here is evidence that the City employs bad people. This sign is prominent on Cambridge Street at Irving Street at the site of the CRLS (Cambridge's public high school) construction. Cambridge shows that it not only ignores inconvenient laws meant to protect vulnerable people, e.g., it also refuses to hire good people. Even Clinton's USDC Judge Bolton in Arizona allowed the ban on sanctuary cities to stand when she judged that state's immigration law to be potential irreparable harm to the US Government. Granting a temporary injunction (not ruling on the substance of the law), Bolton indicates that Cambridge's Sanctuary City Law conflicts with US law and cannot stand. MA AG enforces laws selectively, following Obama's US AG wizard. Are bad people also running MA state government and the US government?
