The Blueprint - Volume 1: Seeds - PART FOUR: "Perpetual Patterns of Power? Puh-leeze!"

He who smelt it dealt it.

He who said it smelt it.

He who dealt it smelt it.

He who dealt it stealth it...

"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
- Lord Acton

(...)

Historian Lord Acton (1834-1902) issued epic warnings that political power is the most serious threat to liberty.

Born in Naples, he was educated in England, Scotland, France and Germany, developing an extraordinary knowledge of European political history.

While he never wrote the history of liberty he dreamed about, his essays and letters abound with memorable insights. For instance: "Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end...liberty is the only object which benefits all alike, and provokes no sincere opposition...The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to to govern. Every class is unfit to govern...Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

In his inaugural lecture as Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University, Lord Acton told students: "I exhort you never to debase the moral currency or to lower the standard of rectitude, but to try others by the final maxim that governs your own lives, and to suffer no man and no cause to escape the undying penalty which history has the power to inflict on wrong."

I hate cops,
'Cause that's--
Bullshit!

But--

We push'em back--
A bit!"

(...)

Any police force that says they don't need civilian or other oversight is lying.

For thousands of years there have been good and bad officers of the law, and any large powerful organization saying they'll be the first one in history to wield that much power without drifting towards corruption, is lying.

It's not even a legitimate argument.

It's not even "the other side."

It's utter nonsense to fight against ANY restriction or check on power beyond ones own sense of propriety without realizing it sets an insane standard for any powerful organization that they cannot possibly reach, and thus in good conscience should not promote they are capable of.

(Or, we shouldn't accept the argument as valid. It's unfortunate, but people have been given a licence to print bullshit, and that's a licence to print money...)

I even tell girlfriends I'm pretty good at the ol' argy-bargyin', so feel free to press for explanations or seek the counsel of third-parties to whup my ass. Y'all can check with whomever, it's worked a bunch in my favour so that's cool too. Mebbe I'm missin' something? If so I'd like to know... why not? Mebbe it makes our world better?

I mean, who's right 100% of the time?

Soma Nation
A Threat Greater Than Terrorism
By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Delusion has settled over America. Washington cannot tell fact from fantasy. Neither can sycophantic media nor nothink economists.

The Bush administration is the first government in history to initiate a war based entirely on fantasy--fantasy about nonexistent "weapons of mass destruction," fantasy about nonexistent "terrorist links," fantasy about "liberating" a people from their culture, fantasy about a "cakewalk" invasion, fantasy about America's omnipotence.

Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. He was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review. He is coauthor of The Tyranny of Good Intentions.He can be reached at: pcroberts@postmark.net

The Star Wars Missile Defence Program: Will It Work For You?

Will it work?

YES!

blahblahblahblah...

(yawn)

...

NO!

blahblahblahblah...

(yawn)

...

HOW MUCH $$$ WILL IT COST TO FIND OUT?

???

(yawn)

...

Ahhh the age-old debate...

Will it work or not...

How the hell should I know?

How the hell should you know?

How the hell should we answer that?

How the hell are WE asking it?

How the hell...

(WARNING: BULLSHIT ALERT!!! SPOILER AHEAD!!!)

Okay, you got Johnny Rocket Science, a spiffy-in-a-jiffy Large Professor in class training other Johnny and Jackie Rocket Sciences of the Future to...

What?

To send rockets into space and 'ting'n'ting, ya heard?

So...

If they've sold out, they're working for Da Man.

If they haven't, they're working for Da Love.

So...

There should still be less of a scientific community credibility gap between perfectly reasonable and pitiably impossible when the safety of the world is at stake. (And when we slackassedly choose one or the other in tones of mournful ignorance.)

But...

Instead it piggybacks other political views...

And no one notices the $hell Game...

Throwback Term: Military Industrial Complex

Imagine if your company made Death Machine Motor Oil, Death Machine Widgets, Death Machine Soothing Lubricant, and had a Pimp My Death Machine reality show on Fox hosted by Coolio.

Well hell son, your balance sheets would be in the Death Black for the next 20 years with billions of taxpayer-dollars funding the indefinable project...

Just slice off a few hundred million, who's gonna notice?

And minding that credibility gap...

How long will it take?

How much will it cost?

As long as it takes.

As much as it costs.

To make the world a safer place.

(Damn, that last one was goood.)

Still...

You ever wonder HOW THE HELL enough nuclear weapons were created to destroy the world 10,000 TIMES OVER???

(Dope!)

Heh-heh...

We sure showed them Russkies...

Boy, if they ever attacked us...

I mean...

We'd show them...

I mean...

You ever buy 500 ice-cream cones on a hot day?

Just kinda stand there eating two at a time? Maybe toss a few after a few licks? Jump on 'em and roll around until you have an ice-creamgasm?

I mean...

(...)

The Red herring is back minus the Red menace, because Brown is the new Red.

We don't know much about Brown, but we are learning that they are trying to destroy us, and "before that smoking gun becomes a mushroom cloud" we're got to prepare for anything... which due to the many Non-Proliferation Treaties and economic relations between sovereign states mainly includes rag-tag groups of marginalized rebels building thermo-nuclear facilities capable of launching Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles we've got to pick-off from space.

(Just like Cobra Commander and Dr. Evil do.)

How much will it cost?

How the hell should I know?

(But from here, it looks like one of the biggest cash-grabs in history.)

(...)

"And you can't stop, and you don't stop, and you won't stop..."

(...)

"Nearly all the world’s nations are party to the nonproliferation treaty, which was ratified in 1970. It states that only five countries — the U.S., Britain, France, the Soviet Union (now Russia), and China — are allowed to have nuclear weapons. No other member-state may build them. The five nuclear states are required to work towards reducing and eventually eliminating their stockpiles. Progress is reviewed every five years."

Progress needs to be made on the disarmament side or the nonproliferation side won’t go anywhere,” says Zachary Allen, executive director of the Middle Powers Initiative, which works with major non-nuclear nations pressing the U.S. to take disarmament steps. “The U.S. and Russia still have 30,000 nuclear weapons. You can’t make progress on nonproliferation without making progress on disarmament.”

"After the Sept. 11 attacks, “the Bush administration seized on that opportunity to advance this very aggressive, militaristic, unilateralist ‘war on terrorism,’” Cabasso said, and has distanced itself from the 2000 agreement. For example, in 2002 the Bush administration put forward its “National Security Strategy” that advocates nuclear strike against non-nuclear states, a violation of the NPT."

Should Gay People Be Allowed To Get Marijuana'd?

Let's just say it all made sense...

"It" being everything...

Life, death, love, hate, joy, pain...

That would be boring.

BUT...

Let's just say the rules and laws made sense...

So no one really complained...

And only the rights of those who we've universally damned are taken away...

I mean, honestly, how many people would really defend the rights of pedophiles?

(Besides the hundreds at Jacko's creepisection.)

John Stuart Mill's "Harm Principle" allows me to relax, I don't mind it at all: Dowhatchawanna unless you are hurting someone else.

Sounds fair.

But wait...

What if there was a group that could tell small groups of people what to do even if they aren't harming anyone?

What if they had arbitrary and absolute power?

What if everyone else saw that being used on the small groups?

What does that do to everyone else?

Looks like we know who's in charge around here...

In fact...

If everything just made sense, we'd hardly notice 'em...

Like a good referee...

But, since things don't make sense...

It's even more powerful a statement...

Looks like we know who's in charge around here...

If I Die 2 Nite
Tupac Shakur
Me Against The World

"A coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies but once"

(Tonight's the night I get in some shit)

They say pussy and paper is poetry, power, and pistols
Plottin' on murderin' motherfuckers before they get you
Picturin' pitiful punk niggas coppin' pleas
Puffin' weed as I position myself to clock Gs
My enemies scatter in suicidal situations
Never the witness to wicked shit that they was facin'
Pockets is packed with presidents, pursue your riches
Evadin' the playa-hatin tricks, while hittin switches
Bitches is badmouthin', cuz ballin' motherfuckers is bold
But trust me holms, the game should be sold
Sick of pscyhotic society, somebody save me
Addicted to drama, so even mama couldn't raise me
Even the preacher and all my teachers couldn't reach me
I run in the streets and puffin' weed with my peeps
I'm duckin' the cops, I hit the weed as I'm clutchin' my glock
Niggas is hot when I hit the block, what if I die tonite...

(Chorus)

What if I die 2 nite?
If I die 2 nite...
What if I die 2 nite?
If I die 2 nite...
2 nite's the night I get in some shit

Polishin' pistols, prepare for battle, pass the pump
When I get to poppin', niggas is droppin', then they done
Callin' the coroner, come collect the fuckin' corpse
He got hit by a killer, preoccupied with bein' boss
Revenge is the method, whenever steppin', keep a weapon close
Adversaries will overdose, over deadly notes
Jealous niggas and broke bitches equal packed jails
Hit the block and fill your pockets makin' crack sales
Picture perfection, pursuin' paper with a passion
Visions of prison where all the pussies that I blasted
Running with criminal, individuals with no remorse
Try to stop me, my pistol posse using deadly force
In my brain, all I can think about is fame
The police know my name, a different game, ain't a thing changed
I'm seeing cemetary photos of my peers
Conversatin' like they still here, if I die tonite...

(Chorus)

If I die 2 nite...
Scared to die nigga, is ya?
If I die 2nite...
Never fear, never will I fear
If I die 2nite...
2 nite's the night I get in some shit

Pussy and paper is poetry, power, and pistols
Plottin on murderin' motherfuckers before they get you
Pray to the heavens, .357s to the sky
And I hope I'm forgiven for Thug livin when I die
I wonder if heaven's got a ghetto for thug niggas
A stress free life, and a spot for drug dealers
Pissin' while practicin' how to pimp and be a player
Overdose of a dick while drinking liquor when I lay yah
Pistol-whippin any simps, for bein' petrified and lame
Disrespecting the game, praying for punishment and pain
Going insane, never die, I live eternal, who shall I fear?
Don't shed a tear for me nigga, I ain't happy here
I hope they bury me and send me to my rest
Headlines reading "Murdered to Death", my last breath
Take a look, picture a crook, on his last stand
Motherfuckers don't understand, if I die tonite...

(Chorus)

Nigga
If I die 2 nite...
No fear nigga, never worry
If I die 2 nite...
Bury me a motherfuckin G, closed casket, fuck death
If I die 2 nite....
You know

Kill, kill, kill
Murder, murder, murder...
