Ukraine illustrates upside-down world

Sixty years ago, the Soviet Union was instigating coups and starting civil wars all around the globe to spread communism. The U.S. fought against communist aggression in Korea, Vietnam and South America. Today, we live in an upside-down world. In the last decade or so, the U.S. has instigated coups and civil wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria to propagate U.S. bankster socialism. That’s why the Libyan rebels set up a central bank in Benghazi before the civil war had begun in earnest. As a result, all of these countries are powder kegs now. The only reason U.S. troops aren’t publicly fighting and dying in Syria – special forces are doing so secretly – is Russian President Vladimir Putin saved their lives by brokering a deal to remove Syria’s chemical weapons.
Now, the U.S. has added Ukraine and Venezuela to the list of countries in which our rulers are instigating coups. As usual, the U.S. press, calling the coup a democracy movement, has the story upside-down. The president, who was ousted by U.S.-backed mobs, was democratically elected. Any doubt about who was behind the coup was erased when a recording of a U.S. official saying, “F**k the EU” on an unsecured phone was leaked. Economic Policy Journal reported, “In the call, which was anonymously posted on YouTube, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt lay out their desired outcome for the crisis in Ukraine and accuse the European Union of not doing enough.”
While this story reached prominence in the U.S. in February, during the Putin-bashing Olympics, Storyleak reported in December, “What is particularly surprising about the current color revolution unfolding in the Ukraine is this nation was the site of the very same CIA implementation plan back in 2004/2005. The Orange Revolution, as it was known at the time, was a classic CIA-engineered plot to impose their political outcome on the Ukrainian people. And they succeeded with flying colors. That CIA-sponsored coup d’état was so successful, it has since been used as a model for every other CIA-manufactured scheme that has toppled governments and reversed fair election outcomes the world over. In fact, the Ukraine is where the various social network utilities were used so effectively, the new M.O. has become known as the ‘digital blitzkrieg.’ Never in human history have so many citizens been stampeded in the direction of overthrowing their government while being completely ignorant of the real forces manipulating the cattle prods.”
This coup attempt by a small, organized, violent mob was successful, too. Not wasting any time, Kiev’s victorious mobsters immediately shook down the EU for a €5 billion payoff. Now, Ukraine is divided between its European west and its Russian east. Russian troops have seized control of the Crimean peninsula on the Black Sea. If U.S. aggressors really thought they could bluff Putin into sitting idle while they took control of Ukraine, they were mistaken.
A similar situation is playing out in Venezuela, with one difference being Venezuela is an economic basket case because of nearly two decades of socialism. Antiwar.com explained what happened in Venezuela: “In Venezuela, opponents of the Bolivarian Revolution hoped to win in the polls in a way they had repeatedly failed to do while Chavez was alive. But Chavez’ successor, Nicolás Maduro, handed them yet another defeat, and the revolution continued. Despite monitors from around the world certifying the election as fair, the United States continued to defy every other country in the world by refusing to recognize Maduro’s victory and backing the opposition’s claims of fraud and their demands for further recounts.”
The modus operandi seems to be, if the U.S.-backed party can’t win in a fair election, initiate a coup by mob in the streets. So much for U.S. claims to support democracy.
While these coups might seem like isolated incidents, many see a pattern of the U.S. picking fights with Russia. Russia has a navy base in Syria, historical ties to Ukraine and is currently negotiating for military support with Venezuela. Provoking the only other nuclear superpower in the world seems outrageously dangerous. Justin Raimondo believes current geopolitical tensions parallel the situation before World War I: “Add to [Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela] the ongoing turmoil in Iraq and the complete collapse of the Afghan front (aided by the antics of Afghan President Hamid Karzai), and the world situation begins to greatly resemble that which occasioned the outbreak of World War I – the ‘Great War’…”
The question is: Why would U.S. rulers want to provoke Russia? The answer is: They need a scapegoat for the coming economic collapse. They can’t allow the people to realize central banking itself – counterfeiting fantastic amounts of funny money – is the cause of the impending collapse. They have to blame the collapse on something else. War, Russia and Putin make great scapegoats. March 3 headlines blamed Ukraine for a global economic crisis and for the worst U.S. stock day since January, but don’t let our rulers fool you. Putin isn’t stealing our money and destroying our country. They are.

The Modern Dark Age of Science

e live in a modern world of technological advance, and we think of society as an enlightened civilization because of it. But much of the technology we enjoy today is based on science that’s over a hundred years old. Despite our impressive technology, and partly because of it, much of what passes for science today is nothing but superstition wrapped in the trappings of science.
The most glaring example is the great anthropogenic global warming fraud that blames man-made carbon dioxide for climate change and severe weather. It was this superstition, a belief not supported by scientific observation, that caused the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ”above normal from November through January across much of the lower 48 states.” Meanwhile, real scientists and almanacs which based their predictions on scientific observations of sunspots and natural climate cycles tested over centuries predicted the bitterly cold, snowy winter we’ve experienced.
One of the factors crippling scientific advancement is outright fraud. The , “A review of retractions in medical and biological peer-reviewed journals finds the percentage of studies withdrawn because of fraud or suspected fraud has jumped substantially since the mid-1970s. In 1976, there were fewer than 10 fraud retractions for every 1 million studies published, compared with 96 retractions per million in 2007.”
But not all fraud gets retracted. One researcher discovered out of 53 landmark publications in cancer research, the foundational research subsequent research builds on, the results of 47 of those studies . This is an epic disaster. If cancer research was a skyscraper, it would collapse, destroying nearby buildings and killing everybody in its path. And if you think about it, that’s what cancer research has done. After 50 years of fighting the war on cancer, cancer is .
There’s no way to count how many people have been killed by bad medical research, but we have some insight. A recent study of beta-blockers, medicines used to treat high blood pressure and congestive heart failure, concluded that a medical procedure based on flawed research . Some might consider this genocide.
The New York Times exposes another recent, long-term study which concluded that mammograms , “One of the largest and most meticulous studies of mammography ever done, involving 90,000 women and lasting a quarter-century…found that the death rates from breast cancer and from all causes were the same in women who got mammograms and those who did not.” Worse, “the screening had harms: One in five cancers found with mammography and treated was not a threat to the woman’s health and did not need treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery or radiation.” I congratulate these researchers for their bravery. The political correctness health care police will make sure they never work again. Medical research has gone so far off the rails, doctors advise women without breast cancer like Angelina Jolie to . Witch-doctors seem rational by comparison.
But the biggest problem with modern science is much of it is just wrong. Physicist Richard Feynman , “First you guess. Don’t laugh; this is the most important step. Then you compute the consequences. Compare the consequences to experience. If it disagrees with experience, the guess is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t matter how beautiful your guess is or how smart you are or what your name is. If it disagrees with experience, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.” It doesn’t matter how many people believe the wrong theory either. Consensus means nothing. A theory that does not match observation is wrong.
A theory that makes incorrect predictions is also wrong, and if you read any NASA science reports, you’ll find NASA scientists are always surprised by observations. Their theories are wrong. The Big Bang never happened. Gravity does not form the structures in the universe. The sun is not powered by fusion. The fundamental theories, regularly presented as fact, we’ve been taught about cosmology, solar physics and the solar system are wrong. Nobody has ever seen a black hole, a neutron star, dark matter or dark energy because they don’t exist. Those superstitions are modern versions of nature spirits, ghosts and goblins. Everywhere astronomers look, they discover hot plasma and magnetic fields caused by electric currents in space which form galaxies and power stars, but cosmologists deny the electric currents exist despite observations.
The biggest problem with science is government’s virtual monopoly on funding it for political benefit and to enrich establishment scientists. History will judge the US government as the world’s greatest promoter of superstition and obstacle to science like the old Catholic Church.Establishment scientists who control government’s funding pervert peer review to bury science that falsifies their theories.

We live in a modern world of technological advance, and we think of society as an enlightened civilization because of it. But much of the technology we enjoy today is based on science that’s over a hundred years old. Despite our impressive technology, and partly because of it, much of what passes for science today is nothing but superstition wrapped in the trappings of science.
The most glaring example is the great anthropogenic global warming fraud that blames man-made carbon dioxide for climate change and severe weather. It was this superstition, a belief not supported by scientific observation, that caused the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ”above normal from November through January across much of the lower 48 states.” Meanwhile, real scientists and almanacs which based their predictions on scientific observations of sunspots and natural climate cycles tested over centuries predicted the bitterly cold, snowy winter we’ve experienced.
One of the factors crippling scientific advancement is outright fraud. The , “A review of retractions in medical and biological peer-reviewed journals finds the percentage of studies withdrawn because of fraud or suspected fraud has jumped substantially since the mid-1970s. In 1976, there were fewer than 10 fraud retractions for every 1 million studies published, compared with 96 retractions per million in 2007.”
But not all fraud gets retracted.

Socialist Snow Follies

Examining the abject failure of socialism on relatively minor issues exposes the horrific failure of socialism on the big issues including security, criminal justice, health care, running the economy and waging war. The ubiquitous failure of local governments to clear the roads of snow this winter is a perfect example. In a recent article regarding complaints about snow removal, the Dayton Daily News accidentally highlights how socialism perverts the minds of bureaucrats. Almost comically, all the bureaucrats in this article have the same point of view because they've all had their minds perverted by government employment.
The article begins, "The day after five inches of snow blanketed the Dayton region, some people questioned why their streets hadn’ been plowed, while others lamented about [sic] the large piles of heavy snow left behind in their driveways by city plows."
Those complaints are perfectly reasonable. Government steals money from the people, and it promises to clear the roads of snow in return. This isn't a bargain or contract. We're not customers. We can't negotiate. We can't refuse. The brigands steal our money and dictate terms. Still, people expect government to live up to its own terms. Instead government either doesn't show up or makes matters worse by burying cars and driveways under bigger snow piles. Some service.
The DDN reports how socialists feel about these complaints, "The complaints have left some officials feeling 'damned if they do and damned if they don’.'" Poor babies. This illustrates how socialism warps minds. Officials can't comprehend they're providing a terrible, counter-productive service, if they show up at all. It never crosses their minds they could and should improve it. One explicitly says, "“he complaints start out, when are you going to get to us?' said Kettering Public Service Director Dave Duritsch. Then the calls start coming in about plowed-in vehicles and plows dumping snow at driveway entrances. Unfortunately that’ unavoidable,' Duritsch said."
It's not unavoidable. Duritsch, like all government employees, makes money by stealing it in the form of taxes, so he's unable to perform economic calculation. He has no sales, no profits, and no losses to guide him to providing a better service. The mind of a person who can't perform economic calculation atrophies like the body of a bed-ridden person atrophies. Every bureaucrat quoted in this article shows the same symptoms for the same reason.
Imagine if Duritsch owned a snow removal business and had snow removal contracts. Imagine he didn't show up to fulfill some of those contracts, and the ones he did show up to, he buried cars and driveways in snow. Customers would not only complain; they would fire him. Duritsch would lose sales. Profits would turn to losses. After performing economic calculations, he would improve his service to avoid going bankrupt. The first change he would make would be to show up to fulfill all his contracts. The second change would be to insure every car on streets he cleared could pull out onto the street and every driveway was clear as well. He would innovate to out-compete his competitors and supply this improved service for less money than the government currently steals from us for the crappy service it provides, or doesn't bother to provide.
Dayton's Director of Public Works Fred Stovall echoes Duritsch, "Most of the complaints however have been from people who say the plow truck did come down their street, and deposited a pile of snow on the entrance to their driveway. We got 5 inches of snow,' Stovall said. 'There’ going to be some buildup.'"
These men seem not to realize plows can be applied intelligently and snow shovels exist. But more fundamentally, they aren't interested in cooperating with the serfs they lie about serving. They want us to shut up, kiss their rings, and appreciate their crappy service like the docile serfs government schools brainwashed us to be. The private sector economy of voluntary exchange promotes and rewards cooperation, peace and service that advances everybody's interests. The authoritarian political economy promotes us-versus-them divisiveness, frustration and anger and rewards bureaucrats for ever greater application of coercion at our expense.
For example, Englewood City Manager Eric Smith issues threats to ticket cars parked on the sides of roads. The article continues, "To date [Englewood] has issued 67 warning notices to move cars, but has not ticketed or towed any vehicles because owners have complied after receiving the warning." Talk about blaming the victim. First, socialists steal taxpayers' money, then mother nature dumps snow on roads, then socialists threaten to steal more money if drivers don't move their cars before snow plows bury them.
There's also a demonstrable lie in this article, "Dayton plow trucks usually don’ make it to residential streets unless the city gets more than 4 inches of snow, but Tuesday night’ snowfall prompted crews to make a pass at all streets." My street was not touched. That's typical. I doubt it was the only one.
Socialism is insane. Government snow removal is just another pseudo-service designed to steal more of our money, and it's a great success at that.
