Elephant Enclosure
Enclosure is most often glaringly apparent in agriculture, where it springs at the individual and community alike; it's hydrae-headed avarice greedily puncturing all targets on any level with amazingly audacious lethality.
"Enclosure of all things food by the transnational agrichem Combine.
Hey EduTainers! noticed some people spreading this around, good good, way it should be. Just letting one and all know that the full, intact and higher rez version is still up at Google:
Taxes are a great tool for the cleptocracy desirous of Enclosing a given parcel. Failure to meet rising property taxes was a favorite lever to pop moldering manorial lords loose from their holdings and Entitlements during the early centuries of European Enclosure and "agricultural revolution". The later was principally marked by the subsumance of the Commons into the new fiefdoms controlled by holding corporations on the behalf of investors who received returns on the shares they held.
Kind of like now; absentee landlord banks who grind margin-increase yields out of land by any means at hand for the benefit and increase of the oligarchy.
Back then it was all about sheep and potatoes.
The Spanish make a potato dish called a quissedilla which sometimes has lamb in it.
Spanish Enclosure resulted in the modern debut of the seemingly unified transnational oligarchy as it fed into and off of European anti-Stalinist Fascism AND Stalinism simultaneously.

Iraq is a re-enclosure of mineral deposits and lands that the Franco-Brit-Flemish banking cartel secured as part of the parcelment of the Ottoman Empire. See the Suiz Canal.
Sorry if i seem to be withholding on the next installment of the Rape Joke That Is January Primaries, but...well, i've been gettin' some more some than usual-ally some-sum.
Enclosure is Thier™ Process. Some humans do require a kennel, to be sure. Even some dogs who never personally never ate chickens and weren't running with a pack on a given hypothetical night still, perhaps, need to be denied access to the Public Commons.
That's right, Charlie can't surf. Never killed anyone, wouldn't even be culpable as a Driver or for Aiding and Abbetting. I still say i agree with the panel. Dude's a liability. The rest of the Population has free, unrestricted access to the Resources of the Commons as a basic Civil Right, yes?
...am i supposed to believe that you approve of continued ineptitude and...well, just general impotence and faggotry in the more than merely lackluster performance of the CADS (Civilian Advisory Death Squads) who get rubber-stamp certified by the School of the Americas? Now that it's changed name-charters to...WTF...St Mary's Rape College? Shit, i can't remember right now...BRB...
...W/e, i'll look it up later. Point is, they're all fucking sickos, yeah, but they're also creepy, closeted fags from pussy neighborhoods. They suck. I think we should've cut our losses after the Bay of Pigs and outsourced to Mongol or Cossack thugs.
Oh wait, the Soviets. Right. Gotcha.
Not a problem now; it's a Brave New Globalism. Look! There's a Hun below!
I mean, some soldiers getting a new puppy and all aside, i just can't pick a proper carwreck out for allz'yallz. So i went to FuckedCompany to check in on the current corporate corpse count calendar.
No help from the cheerleaders of internet marketing, i guess. Usually one's adversaries provide ample fodder for straw men to disembowel in lieu of having a an insightful or even coheirant point, but Pud's different like that.
Marketing. Neccesary Evil, rooted in Money. Exhorbitantly demanding of it's own recompense for it's Labor, which consists of busking and hooking target consumers for the overall Profit of the Client. Clients may be Neccesary Evil, Luxury Evil, or just plain old Mom-And-Pop type Evil.
J/K. They can be Neutral Evil, too. Like me, only with money. Like PBS. W/e. We're boardin'.
The one thing all cultures of H. Sapiens can agree on is that money is our common tongue, and we're all somehow each and everyone intractably reliant upon it to the point that we are inseperable from it and it's dance is our jig of life. Money is just a tool; an incredably misused tool, and yet we all spin around the anti-Maypole of pecuniary "need" like an acidheaded carpenter who's married his sabre saw.
If i chose to use one tool, and one tool only, for each chore in my garden, regardless of season or chore at hand, you'd think me a fairly crappy gardener, yes?
There's a saying amongst the Vedicly-inclined that it's hard to keep it, shall we say, real when one is permuttated in Kali Yuga. Too much decadence, the story goes. The cycle of four ages is full of Maya at that point, making the last age one in which simple acts of selflessness garner more Dharmic Credit Points than in others, comensurate to the difference in overall general turdishness the rest of the biosphere would be exhibiting. Thusly, the Buddha-emulation clique (a subset of the Vedicly-inclined demographic) often remark that Enlightenment™ is easier to attain during Kali Yuga, on a sliding scale that approaches 0 as T(ime) approaches End.
If D'J33pZ(0rX) swings past this entry, maybe she'll be kind enough to comment and tell the stry of how she reintroduced me to G0D and Grotus via explicating the principle of Kali Yuga to yours truly whilst dodging SoDo traffic to thier hit Top 40 cut from thier seminal disk, Slow Motion Apocalypse.
It really doesn't seem reasonable that this particular global bloom of Alpha sapiens will maintain a tenable possitive growth pattern with regards to that species' growing personal and collective institutional resource requirments and the biosphere's current rate of resource depletion. However, h. sapiens has been virulently responsive to extreme environmental shifts in the past, showing a stubborn resiliency that could mean aeons of additional torment for all terrans (and possible extraterrestrius effects).
Will there be trade unionism in the Off World Colonies™?
Fuck trade unionism and the little bossman it rode in on. One Big Union.
Found my old pledgecard whilst digging to the bottom of the bivouac here at Last Daze InterBai HQ.
This is what i wanted to show y'all.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Society needs to be social. The means of production ARE common community assets, and as such communal use/access guarantee assurance is the primary job of any oversight institutions that proport to be acting in the civic interest.
There's a good FCC/streetball tie-in somewhere. For those readers who Fear The Linkz, the above pictured Saudi tagger X5 is lobbying the wet-gherkins of the Haus o' Saud government to fund some neighborhood playareae, which really isn't too much to ask. One shouldn't have to ask one's master for the occassional bone; decorum dictates the regular flick of gristle from the head table towards the shadows skulking the floor at the edge of the candlelight.
(the newly appointed official in charge of Jiddah's beautification, Jiddeh city official Mohamed Jamal) Abo-Umara, 45, said young men like Alwani should not be held accountable until officials are sure they've done right by local youth.
"What have we done for young people? Have we asked them what they need or want?" said Abo-Umara, wearing a flowing white head scarf and long robe. "Until I talk to them and find out why they are scribbling all over Jiddah and do my part in offering them the services we're supposed to provide, then I can't punish or criticize them."
Look.
It comes to this. Always.
It's all us. The future can be one long-ass dreary unending clusterthroating of compounding institutional usurption of our common resources or we can grow up, stop putting fucking fences around our increasingly drab walls, claiming every toy in the percievable world our personal private slave-object and learn to share like civilised toddlers. Looking up to "authority" percieved resident in the wealthy elite who really do run things for the edification of global business ventures with whom they have more than casual invested interests in is the number one crippling cognitive prion that the governed can cure themselves of.
Ask your Doktor if shedding your need for a shepherd is right for you.

The flint hand-axe has been a favorite amongst tent-warming concubines for aeons, although many prefer a properly lethal ointment.
The business end of a poleaxe has a continuity of blade that celebrates simple ergonomic truths. The 120cm reach of this poleaxe provides sufficient leverage and momentum to require bolstering the handle.

A taciturn lecture offered as rejoinder in an ongoing dialogue i'm having with our BeltWay Insider. Our story thus far: i have posited that Capital runs the game, and that political movements are more wagging dog than they are bellwethers for change. Civil rights was proffered as an example of a popular movement that changed policy. I pointed out that the Civil War was fought to that end 100 years prior, and was rebuked by an intriguing rejoinder about the echoes of Abolitionism in the current abortion debate. We'll come back to that. Firstly:
So basically, you are refuting the notion that capital interests rule the policy making process from the top down. Now, this isn't just some hair-brained idea of mine, you know. This is, unfortunately, historical fact.
Let's consider the Abolitionists and the Civil War some more.
The Abolitionist movement (along with early versions of the Temperance and Suffrage movements) grew out of Quaker/Shaker and Baptist churches, and although they were vociferous they were in fact outlawed in the South and only given lip service in the North after the Dred Scott descision struck a chord with folks who otherwise didn't care.
Why did it strike a chord? Because it asserted property rights across state lines, a clear problem for states' rights no matter how you slice it.
This is why it was made an issue. Federalism was not quite codified, and all sorts of concessions were being handed to locality as far as right of way and self-determination were concerned. Although the Federal Government had carefully plotted out territories for slave and free states (indicating it's disregard for the issue) settlers had more than once "jumped claim" and lept upon the territory as if the bank wasn't due payment.
This is one of the real issues: homesteaders got an allotment for a stipend, no more, and the territories were already determined. But the settlers would change rules at whim, the ingrates, as if self-determination were the founding principle of the country. Add to this the Southern Aristocracy's marked difference of opinion on the matter of centrism/Federalism, and you have your issue. What drove the war ideologically was the need to resolve the power of the Federal Government as supreme, once and for all. What enabled it and caused the other shoe to drop was ENCLOSURE. Remember the Cotton Gin? This is a modification of the wool mill used in Britain. No big whoop, despite what you may have heard, and whitney went broke in the 1790's without it really doing much. It was one of the loci of Northern industrial concentration, a process very much like Britain's industrial "revolution." This process requires agrarian aristocracy to migrate off of the land, so the land can be repurposed both in utility and in titlage, allowing the leverage of parcel valuation as Capital. Capital Aristocracy is of course the successor; a class of gentry whose wealth is the dictate by which they rule, separate from the land and it's sullen marginless stasis. The Northern industrial elite already understood this, having direct capital ties to Europe, where the process had already spawned the Enclosures, with ensuing dislocation, famines, Dickensian factories, workhouses and mines and slums of the 17 - 1800's.
Capitaldoes make up the issues. Where else would anyone get the idea that "feeding Africa" is something that can be done from the outside, or indeed that Africa is starving in the first place? Is it famine or enclosure killing people in Darfur? In Ethiopia we hear of famine and draught; yet the largest lake in Africa sits at it's heart, and this is a nation so old it dates to dynastic Egypt. It has irrigation; indeed it has quite a few resources, and is able to invade Somalia regularly. So why can't the ethnic herders get water? Is it perhaps because they can't pay for it?
Westerners are uninformed, naive somehow? I am here to tell you this is not true. We know exactly how evil we are, and we justify it by saying "better them than US" before "accidently" allowing warlords to usurp UNICEF monies. Those Suzuki jeeps don't ship themselves over there from NYC impound lots, it's strickly COD.

Extra credit: compare and contrast the states' rights issues involved Slavery vs Abolitionism against those of Pro-Choice vs Pro-Life. Explain how the logical outcome of this wlll be determined by Capital.
If you aren't in Olympia right now with the crowd on the Capital steps demanding a vote on the proposal to impeach Cheney and Dubya, you should send a nice reminder mail to your "representatives", e.g.:

Provide leadership by moving SJM 8016 to the floor for a vote. Either take a real stand now for the Republic and the People you serve, or be counted as colaborationists by coddling the criminals in the Administration.
The only puzzle piece omitted from this succinct and informative vid is the bigest lie of all: The Myth Of Land Ownership, which is the meme driving the whole process. You think you need money because you think you can own land. Think about it.
Perhaps the least talked about aspect of American history is our fickle relationship with France. This may be a result of the perspective one is forced to take if one regards France's role in our "Revolution" with the weight it actually has.
See, the United States never would have had a chance if it had not been for France's involvement in the aristocratic coup'd'tat we like to think of as our Revolutionary War. Our ruling locals (ie Jefferson, Hamilton, Allen, Franklin, Morris, Webster et al) had no seats with votes in the British Parliament, thus thier lands were subject to taxes as per the Crown's charter agreements with the respective colonial bodies but not eligible for the same sort of representation that thier percieved peerage had. We could further interpret this as sour grapes on the part of our Founders resulting from the fact that they WEREN'T members of the peerage and thus weren't reeping the benifits of Enclosure; but that's too hard to explain right now. Let's just take it as writ; Taxation without Representation drove the aristocratic polis to whip up a "grassroots" movement for separation from the Crown. There is no way, repeat NO CHANCE IN HELL that a sparsly armed group of dissenting colonials representing perhaps 40% of the population would be able to withstand the reluctant assault of the British regulars, and if things got hot it was well known that the Hessians would be called in (as they were). Thus, the cabal orchestrating the coup knew at the penning of the Declaration that they had French naval support.
The 100 years War, the Franco/Anglo war of Succession over the Aquitain Possession, had been going for over 400 years by 1776. The last 300 had been hit-and-run via proxy, both sides using the kind of cold-war tactics the US and USSR emulated in the 20th century. The East Indies had been the fun zone for centuries, but during the 1700's the French-Indian Wars had proven most lucretive bloodshed for the privateers involved. France's ability to establish a lasting foothold on the New World had been fairly well curtailed by the British, and now the endgame was beginning. At least the French could spoil the booty for King George by encouraging, arming and lending naval support to the colonial "freedom fighters."
So they did. An overconfident British contingent was caught in a classic harbour pincher, and we celebrated Independance with our French compatriots. A few years later, the popular myth of a rag-tag group of Enlightenment liberatines had fueled the ergot-laced stew of mismanagement and peasant outrage at the starvation tactics of Enclosure into an ACTUAL revolutionary movement in France. In the first real grassroots uprising since Magna Carta the populace rose up and marched against thier monarchial oppressors and the aristocracy that supported them. They recognized the network of land owners and capitalists who had been profiting off of their disenfranchisement, and invented a quick, efficient and humane method of removing these greedy, sadistic elitists from the gene pool.
The American aristocracy called them monsters, rejecting the guillotine justice of the French revolution as "anarchy".
France was stunned. Surely the Americans would understand what it meant to the common man to be under the yoke of an undemocratic ruling class? They had been of like minds once, no?
No. The French allied with the US were of the same aristocratic class as our Founding Fathers, and did so for strategic purposes. The people's revolution in France was a different thing entirely, and the US joined the rest of the Western World in condemning it and aiding the Monarchists in acts of incursion, issolationism and terrorism against the fledgling republic.
We betrayed the French people, but stayed loyal to the internationalist class of landed aristocrats who have ALWAYS ruled us.
Later, the French gave us the Statue of Liberty.
Since we helped the Nazis gain power, our role in the 20th century liberation of the Continent is a net null; we merely belatedly helped neutralize a problem we created.
So we still owe France at least one (1) world-class Wonder.
TheirTube contact and Cj_08 alias BobForehead (aka yours truly) notices the absence of a long-time subscription, Halifaxion, thanks commentary on a vid posted fromorangefu. Halifaxion, aka belowgroundsurface, is/was a Truther Extreme; a devotee to the myth of 9-11 as he sees/saw it. This is most probably why i didn't note his passing, since i didn't even have a 9-11 playlist per-se until i created the above Memorial.
Contained in this irreverent but sincere memorial to a seemingly dissapeared prophile are a number of invective attacks by battim, who seems to have cool tattoos but whom supports Chomsky and so should also be ridiculed some.
{Just because Chomsky and i share the shellshocked side of the Palestinian situation doesn't mean he's not a gatekeeper. He sets the tone for US Leftism™, which he purposefully keeps in the intellectual sphere; his prescription is inaction and a suscription to Utne Reader. Both are wrong.}
When i was but a wee-rabble rouser i latched onto the fact that certain powerful circles of money and influence overlapped and daisychained a poisonous ring-around-the-rosey that spanned centuries and spawned death, inequality and injustice of the meanest varieties. By the time i was a university Junior i had given up the ease of nebulous conspiracies and found a common seed-germ for this System of syndicates within our Systems, the nexus with name.
Banking. In specific, Llyodd's of London and it's unnamable syndicate of silent partners. The Dutch West India Company and it's British counterpart are the most obvious transnationals of the former class. Note that both of these corporations outlive thier charters and are dissolved under Chapter 11-ish circumstances.
This is the way corporations have always been subsumed back into the fabrice of the aristocracy who hold controlling shares. Regardez vous Haliburton's recent dissolution of KBR.
The conspiracy is real; but it doesn't lie in an Illuminatti plot by aliens to turn us all into Verichipped solent green. Yes, there are times when the families who currently hold the ball(s) work in concert to devastation effect: The European Enclosure and more notably the creation of fascist regimes during interwar 20th century's socialist awakening. Enabling Franco and Hitler to stop workers from transforming Europe into the jewel Internacional was sick, petty, wasteful, shortsighted, dull and inhumane to the point of sociopathy. Personally i'd wager that Lenin had the backing of the Monarchist-Capitalists as well, since he hadn't read Marx well enough to know that a socialism needs a democratic footing in a fully industrialized economy. His Bolshevik bullshit has fucked socialists for a good 100 years by association. However, this latter add-on of mine has one tiny flaw.
It's not a matter of public record, unlike Britain and the United States' funnelling of cash to the proto-Reich to thwart trade-union socialism.
As soon as Hitler became an issue we can see where the global conspiracy looses it's giest, becoming a phantom of itself. Britain had to wait for the US aristocracy to want war bad enough to allow Pearl Harbor for us to STOP aiding and abbetting the Third Reich. We kept cranking those Krupverks Special Orders out of New Jersey full knowing they were sinking allied ships under Her Majesty's flag in the North Sea until we were actually served papers by the German Embassy.
Hell, Prescott Bush kept trading with Der Fuehrer until injunctions were served on the companies of his that were involved. War profitteers are fey to close up shop when a war is on; it's like being a chimneysweep who takes fall and winter off. Even a commie like me understands that.
So the unity of purpose that kept the Czar propped up longer than healthy kept pressing the "react" button like a junkie on a morphine drip, fomenting the sickest kind of nationalist ethnic zenophobia-as-political-agenda across Europe, schisming the lowest 2/3 of the population against itself in an effort to prevent a people's movement.
This is what the Atlantic Cabal does. This is what we're doing in the mid-east, the US and Britain, protecting Dutch and British investments in the area by attempting to keep the Ottoman Schism of Persia and the Arab Schism of themselves from unifying (again). We are in Iraq, the poorest country resource-wise per acre in the area, NOT to gain resources. Again, the conspiracy Doppler shifts itself into a ghost of a shadow; we see only war profiteers and thier money-men making good on this. The Bush family is once again aiding and abetting, but not in a profitable way. Former British holding Haliburton has used the past 6 years to complete it's metamorphosis into a full transnationalist, now free to settle where it's own cabal can enjoy fewer taxes. Shell oil has benifitted along with thier Dutch owners, and British Petroleum has managed to sink it's teeth into the Alaskan Reserve while we puzzled at losing control of two (2) major pipelines (Alaska and our Unical Miracle pipe from Uzbek to Turkey).
Follow the money and see how these sometimes collaborative cartels and cabals are NOT a unified Illuminati, even if they do all go to Ivy League schools to polish thier inhumanity off with law degrees. They were, at one point, all Masons, too. So's my dad. So's my uncle.
My father and namesake uncle are NOT two men to have in the same room at the same time. They are NOT a unified Brotherhood. My uncle was/is a few ranks below my dad, but his business inclinations allowed him to no doubt make better use of the network the Masons had to offer; he retired early, a millionaire.
My dad, whom i take after, is either dead or still working and living hand to mouth, working class style: because that is what we workers do.
Unless you've got a healthy coat of the Lazies like me, they'll work you to death, Mason or no. Why? Because it's money that is the main-god, the mantra, the whip that drives the future.
See, there IS no Lucifer or YHWH or Allah or Maha Devi Kali Maa (Jai Jai, i kid) or Gray aliens or Mayan Ant-Serpent-Fairies or what the fuck EVER you think it is that They™ are in cohoots with in order to gain control of your precious pink panties. Turns out that the rich just do it for the money, and that they already have your pink panties because you're so busy being lazy and blaming the Illuminati/Islamofascists/your parents that you traded them away a long time ago.
You support Them™ with every purchase. You know this; why do you litterally buy into it?
Labor Value code:
So there's that.
Then there's why i felt the need to get up-ons Against Conspiracies. Turn that gun on myse'f, half-cocked. Let's talk of disappearances, half-truths and outright lies; govenment projects and tripping over the outline on the doorstoop.
I've been dredging NASA/JPL for audio files again.
Granted, the space agencies have MASSIVE amounts of data to host on limited server space. So i don't expect all three hours of any given auroral event, or the complete Mars Mike hash. (the first Mars Mike was lost, second got funding whacked, so that's a bad example-i just like the project's name) However, when they pull files that are only 1 meg at most, i wonder. When it happens again and again, and certain types of data are pulled, i start digging.
Orbiter Gravity - Radio Saturn
New Moons for Saturn - Voyager Hits Termination Shock
The goal is to find all of the files involvingVoyager hitting the heliopause. The originally released one is gone; i have a copy if anyone wants to hear the Space Frogs.
BTW, i'm not sure what NASA and the EAU are hiding by dissapearing the files that they do, but i have a theory. It's not UFO's.
Alright, get serious. Show some damn respect for the only other sane activist in Amerikkkuh.
Given: Value is an abstract quantifification of a quality inheirant in a good or service. Given: The inheirant quality(ies) of a good or service that give rise to valuation exist as a result of actions taken upon raw materials. Given: Action is Labor. Thus; Value equals Labor.
There are certain definitional truths like the above that are not open to debate, as much as we humans do love trying to debate them. The fact that the world is experiencing a warming trend, the fact that we are simians, the fact that the earth revolves around the sun, and the fact that Labor is the means by which objects and ideas are transmuted into articles of Value- these are observable facts.
The further specific observation is that the field of social science avoids this fact like the plague. I submit this question to any and all "Leftists" out there: When was the last time you heard Noam Chomsky talk about the labor theory of value?
