Capital Idea

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.

Capital does 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.

/ lecturette.

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.

Goto Cryptome, now.
You won't be able to soon. That's a bad thing.

I'm Not Going Out With Iran, We're Just Freinds

I'm still awaiting footage of IRI's weekend space-shot, which evidently saw The Islamic Republic of Iran put a payload into orbit on it's own rocket. Russia had popped last year's satellite into orbit, and a mere turn around the sun later they've done it for themselves.

I still voted with the majority 54.7% of Al Jazeera English pollers.

POLL:Should Iran face further sanctions over its nuclear programme?

Yes : 35.2 %

No : 54.7 %

I don't know : 10.1 %

Number of pollers:16529

This goes hand in hand with comments on the subject in the BBC. I imagine the British press will be a little more even-handed on issues of Middle Eastern concern for a while, since they're leaving Occupation: Enduring Our Operations along with my Danish cousins. I'm sure the aebleskivers will be missed.

Joe Hill was framed and hanged. Face it. If you cannot, do not think of yourself as in touch with the vital realities of American labor. Maybe Labor, but not...y'know.

They™ killed MLK, Malcom, hell, LOTSA Panther-related folks, the Rosenbergs, Rachel Corrie, Habeas Corpus, Abbie, Doc, Gary Webb and what seems like a reporter-and-two-grips a month for the past few years.

Own this fact. As ONE FACT. Allied with these and other specifics and representing thier concert impact in spirit and inclination.

An Important Message For All
On The First Annual International Orgasm For Peace Day
From Sri LoverTits

Peaches - FatherFucker


That's right. It's The First Annual International Orgasm For Peace Day, which is probably just some scam thought up by a hippie at AlterNet to get a lil som-some from his fridgidarierre life-partner, but i'm STILL down wit it. Regardez; let's check in on Sri Dr. Annie Sprinkle, Phd.



Whilst i'm swiping code and hijacking Shock(sans Awe)Waves, let's segue back to pre(and post)coital 'toonishness.

I shrewdly avoid a PowerPuff Girl entandre here, proving that i have a sensitive outward demenour that would ne'er tarnish our National Rep with allusions to fourways with minors or thier role models.

The real importance is here: My early MaMaass gift to Cj 08 TX CM, the right Hon Rev SWIM, who doesn't let the fact that he disagrees with me deter his dutiful execution of the office conferred upon him.

I assume. I mean, i'm not in Texas, i can't really check up on it. I just figure the Lone Star State is in my cotton-pickin' pocket, since they so love Okies there.

Cthulu Dreams. Last night i had a dream that the campaign caught on just enough so that i was taken out after writing a Blogger post. It was kinda bittersweet. Like fucking an Ex and dying afterwards.

For the rest, here's Sri Carlin, during an angry decade that was the Reagan Years.
This is the Carlin who was, is, and shall always be my ONLY role model.
