I oppose the laughable concept that egoistic individualism can preserve a society.All economies must deal with the question of fair resource distribution through public channels of some type.

With that said, there has not been a more consistent individual representative on:

-Opposition to War, Military Industrial Complex, and Empire Building

- Opposition to torture and all related activities

- Opposition to NAFTA, CAFTA, and the World Finance and Trade Regime.

- Opposition to Corporate Welfare.

- Calling for an audit and end to the Federal Reserve System.

- Knowing the income tax was a historical war scam (Leftists in the 60s used to point this out, as has Cindy Sheehan).

- Legitimately believeing in the concept of States' Rights, irrespective of his policy disargeements with the 'Blue' States.

- Opposition to the Federal Drug War.

- Opposition to the banking 'de-regulation' scam that ended Glass-Stegall Separations on speculative and personal banking.

- Defending civil liberties and opposition to the National Security State before AND after 9/11.

- Calling for an end to the CIA and its 60 year reign of global and domestic clandestine terror.

- Actually being serious about the debt and the drain Empire first and foremost contributes to it.

- Understanding the well orchestrated coming capital flight from the US.

Until the Greens or some other person on whatever remains on the so called Left can find some balls, I'll root for the bizzare semi-reactionary over a corporatist fraud. ]]> Dr. Nick Nasty http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/376-why-ron-paul.html http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/374-common-sense-populism.html Sun, 14 Aug 2011 01:11:33 GMT Freedom to innovate is at all levels the right of the people.-US Pirate Party Platform

Populism is, at it's core, the belief that institutions should serve the people, not an economic or intellectual elite. All must and should cooperate, but we should not deny the competitive aspects of us that create innovation and advancement.

Populism believes that not all things should be for sale, particularly access to education, health insurance, and access to a minimum income.

Populism believes egalitarianism floursihes when lawmaking power is in the hands of the people directly. It therefore supports, to the greatest level of competency, keeping power close to the people with direct democratic mechanisms. Any neccesary representation must be restricted to issues of extreme expertise, and always subject to public recall.

Populism believes that productive property rightfully belongs to those who labor on it. It therefore stands for private, cooperative worker ownership pf the means of production in all industries except those of absolute public neccesity. It opposes the notion of 'intellectual property.'

Populism opposes the use of usury in the banking system and therefore calls for an end to a debt-based monetary system.

Populism seeks the end of the centralized state and the globalized economy.

Populism recognizes the fundamental rights of all as prescribed under the Bill of Rights, but also recognizes some need for local cultural autonomy.

Populism opposes offensive, costly warfare as odious and immoral.

Populism values the enviroment and scientific reasoning, while recognizing faith has an important place in making moral judgements.

Populism opposes all attacks on labor's productivity (including an income tax and barriers to worker organization or ownership).

Populism opposes inherited wealth on the grounds that inheritance creates idleness and corruption.

Populism believes the public need for information that is both informed and, to the greatest extent possible, unbiased, is a fundamental right that cannot be subject to the profit principle.

Populism believes soverignty, and the right to declare what constitutes citizenship in a nation, rests with the people.

Populism recognizes that issues like immigration and inequality cannot be addressed until the global economic playing field is fair. It therefore supports an end to corporate global trade and the creation of bilateral trade agreements.

Common sense is something that should be more than a watchword. It is our only hope. ]]> Dr. Nick Nasty http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/374-common-sense-populism.html http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/373-quotes.html Sun, 14 Aug 2011 01:09:12 GMT The Presidency doesn't mean shit to me. But it means everything to most people, which is sad-Karl Hess

The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They're the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries.-Ron Paul

Because it equates tradition with prejudice, the left finds itself increasingly unable to converse with ordinary people in their common language.-Christopher Lasch

The propertied classes, the robber barons, have since the beginning tried to extract tribute by closing off and regulating access to the means of subsistence and production — much like a medieval lord forcing the peasant to work two days on the lord’s demesne in return for the right to support his family on his own plot the rest of the week. -Kevin Carson

There is danger in reckless change, but greater danger in blind conservatism.-Henry George

There comes a time in the life of every believer in freedom when he must declare, without any hesitation, to have no attachment to the idea of conservatism.-Lew Rockwell

I fear very much that for the first time in the modern history of our country the next generation will have a lower standard of living than their parents, and that would be a real tragedy."-Bernie Sanders

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope.... [and] the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives."
-Smedley Butler

War can be so impersonal yet when we put a name, a face, a place and match it to families, then war is not impersonal. -Dennis Kucinich

The individual educator imbued with honesty of purpose, the artist or writer of original ideas, the independent scientist or explorer, the non-compromising pioneers of social changes are daily pushed to the wall by men whose learning and creative ability have become decrepit with age.-Emma Goldman

It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the State has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. -Albert J.

By most sociological standards, we are overdue for a major social upheaval both domestically and abroad. Despite quite different levels of living (thought decreasing in difference), people in the Middle East and the Midwest are asserting rights to a share of their government from the corrupt Corporate-Empire in DC.
The tactics are remarkably similar too-non violent occupation and resistance against corporate-backed thug movement (the Koch Party) and other hired thugs and crooks (Egyptian Gestapo), as well as the implied or explicit approval of the police apparatus, itself privatized and assaulted by the assassination attempts on unions, who now decides where its loyalty ought lie.
At the same time on the Old Right/Genuine libertarian front, Ron Paul looks to be running for president again. His state's rights, anti-war, anti-bailout, anti-bank, anti-drug PATRIOT Act, and anti-subsidy stances are playing to tired political non-archists and radicals across the spectrum. The lines are no longer left and right, but the centralized state and Global Feudalism vs. the free and small federation on the other.

Which side will you be on? ]]> Dr. Nick Nasty http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/365-dawn-new-populism.html http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/205-election-truth.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:15:09 GMT Writing about the 1920 Presidential Election, journalist H.L. Mencken said:

"Neither candidate reveals the slightest dignity of conviction. Neither cares a hoot for any discernible principle. Neither, in any intelligible sense, is a man of honor."

Much the same could be said about the current contest.

Neither candidate wants to end the American Imperial Experiment, which has enriched a few selected weapons contractors, mercenaries, natural resource companies and a tiny theocratic state (Israel) while over-burdening our troops, pissing off now future generations of terrorists, and accelerating our decline into economic oblivion by at least 10 year.

Neither candidate will take on the dangerous Federal Reserve system, which in order to finance our corporate welfare-warfare state has inflated our currency to the point where it may soon cost $20 for a simple gallon of milk. Neither candidate wants to actually tax unearned wealth and luxury, which have corrupted our morality and sense of private fiscal responsibility. Both want to continue unjustly taxing our labor.

Both candidates want to further the centralization of power at the Federal Level through more regulation (which in reality means more Big-Biz protectionism at the expense of small business entrepreneurship), as well as add to and continue the immoral drug war and other domestic repression programs.

Both propose more cartelization of industry as the answer to the current Depression, all but guaranteeing a nasty few years might become a miserable decade

Both, as radicals on the Left and the Right have argued, are creatures of the Corporate State, for the Corporate State, and by the Corporate State.

This does not mean, however, one should not vote or there is nothing worth voting for. Several Third Party candidates across the spectrum have come out in agreement about our decline into idiocratic fascism. Moreover, local level politics DO matter, as people in every New England state get to send messages to their respective regimes—and, as a matter of course and distance, you better believe they will listen a lot closer than people in DC might. There are also ballot questions. Massachusetts is in position to be the one of the most libertarian states in terms of marijuana policy if things break right.

You've heard about mavericks, hope, change. DON'T BUY IT. We've seen that movie too.

The great Ron Paul once said truth is treason in the empire of deceit.

Vote for truth. ]]> Dr. Nick Nasty http://www.yahooka.com/blogs/dr-nick-nasty/205-election-truth.html
