On Muslim Immigration In The EU

January 27th, 2012.
Europe, per its many nations coming together in an union, is a place of debate, therein its strength: many ideas are proposed, the best ones mate together and produce better sorts of ideas.
As far as anti-Muslim racism is concerned, let's notice the following. More than a millennium ago, France silently incorporated an important Muslim population, without any coercion (we know this from genetic analysis). If the High Middle Ages could do it, so can we.

January 29th The damaging effects of Muslim immigration into the secular societies of Western Europe is caused by 'a millennium' of religious-ethical, cultural and scientifical stagnation of the immigrating Muslim culture (and its insistence to cling to it); while the host culture is-as-it-is exactly because it shook off, during and after the Age of Enlightenment, the yoke of a -religiously- too tight interpretation of the world.

A millennium ago it was the other way around: The Muslim world was culturally and scientifically more advanced than medieval Europe.

Personally, I think that a Muslim background is no hindrances to enter successfully a secular Western society . . . but the insistence to cling to the very narrow religious guidelines for social cohabitation, especially with another culture, makes the current Muslim culture more or less incompatible with the 'open-society-model' so commonly-received among Europeans.

This is why some social-scientific thinkers reflect upon the end of 'multicultural tolerance' after masses of Muslim immigrants sought economic refuge within European countries' political borders.

Dear la.vyrity:
I understand what you say. I am myself a cultural supremacist, and an enemy of superstition. I am also from Africa. There is no contradiction; a lot of "Muslims" have left Africa (say), precisely to enjoy a secular republican state in Europe.

There should be not favor extended to Islam which is not extended to other superstitions, such as Judaism (say) and Muslim "law" should not be tolerated in the slightest.

The assertion that the Muslim world was more advanced a millenium ago is widespread, but not true. It is a legend created by very dishonest pseudo intellectuals.

For example the empire of the Franks tolerated Jews and Muslims... With equal rights. Catholics became Jews in droves: that was OK.

In the Iberian Caliphate next door, switching from Muslim to Christian, even for an ex-Christian, was the cause for a very painful execution.

Technologically, the Franks had superior steel by 721 CE (this allowed them to annihilate the army of the Arab Caliphate, in a war, 721-750 CE, which fell to the Iranians by 750 CE, as a result). Europeans also invented the first mechanical clocks (let alone plenty of new species of plants, including beans, and animals).

There is much more along these unconventional lines of wisdom on the site Patrice Ayme (Google!)

GOLDMAN DEMONIC POWER VERSUS GRAND DIVINE PLAN

Economic performance is generally first measured by GDP, Gross Domestic Power. The gross power of domestics? Much too much of it is "financial", whatever that means.

GDP? Which GDP indeed? GDP as Goldman Demonic Power? Enough of that already!
The problem with the present GDP is that it is too dependent on the financial piracy part of it. It is a bit like saying that the bigger the one who is ravaged by metastatic cancer, the better, while most of her mass is a malignant tumor, and growing.

In truth we need a Grand Divine Plan. Why? Because our technology has what our ancestors would have viewed as divine powers. So we need to adapt our society, and, in particular, our decision making, to that.
To divine material powers have to correspond divine spiritual powers.

The essence of the crisis is that a few hidden secretive bankers are in charge of money creation, and, as they lay out of the reach of democracy, they lend to their co-conspirators. Throwing more public money at the problem of malignant GDP, through the banks, is throwing more gasoline into the roaring fire. While claiming disingenuously that, since it's liquidity, it should work.

Well not all liquids are the same, children! Money changes nature, according to what it is lent for. As demonstrated by the notion of money laundering: dirty money can be cleansed, and that is unlawful. Similarly, not all other ways to manipulate money ought to be lawful.

Fortunately, the Internet, by tapping the raw mental power of all of humankind will allow us to find solutions, a higher level of spirituality, of mental powers, which have escaped our leaders so far (supposing they care... against their own best interests...)

Updates on politics: wealth to the rich, lies...

Those who admire a parodic version of Reagan, such as Obama and the Tea Party are in power. They are the equivalent of dinosaurs, because what they are trying to do, was tried under the Roman empire: give ever more money to the rich. The largest piece of Obama stimulus was tax cuts, and those tax cuts, over Bush and Obama have gone first to the hyper rich. As I said, the Romans had tried this first.

Those Reaganosaurs do not understand who is supposed to lead a democratic country: that's the government, not the hyper rich. Nor do they understand who leads the economy: that's also the government.
Without the government, there is no direction, no comprehension, no intelligence. So here we are.
The Roman empire collapsed from stupidity unchained. And that stupidity had been preceded by a government taking all the wrong decisions.
Because inasmuch as Obama and his bipartisan partner, the Tea Party, may not like it, they are the government. By refusing to lead, and saying the hyper rich will, they have abdicated their responsibility, And cut off the head: so the economy was running around without one, and now it has stopped moving. Can Obama understand that? Can the Tea Party?

Bin Laden was recruited and trained to attack civilian objectives by the CIA (and Saudi intelligence, itself recruited by the CIA). Everything else, while not necessarily a lie, is at best secondary.

Another truth is that, since civilization exists, plutocracy has been fighting democracy. Qadhafi was a plutocrat (worth: 150 billion dollars). The first enemy of plutocracy is the truth.

Right now, democracy is losing in the West, as the bankers have captured the money creation system for themselves, and those who represent the People .

Bailing Out Greece Means More Taxes For France & Germany

Naked capitalism has a ridiculous article adopting the fancy fantasy that bailing out Greece, Portugal, Ireland does not augment taxes on Northern Europe, France, Germany, Netherlands, etc. Because it augments debt only, a stupid journalist based in Ireland claims.

According to this, paying all due respect, complete idiot, there is something as free money: just borrow it, become Greek, irish, American, whatever...

See what happens next, as you get downgraded into oblivion, with no more social services... Like in Cameron's kingdom, now complete with entire blocks burning. Do like the city of Half Moon Bay, next to Silicon Valley, and fire your police department: it's safe. Exilarating even.

The main argument therein is contradicted by facts, and basic logic. Totally.

According to decisions taken by Merkel and Sarkozy, which apparently did not reach the Ireland worthy of showing up in "naked capitalism", the French government is to lower deficit/GDP to less than 3% by 2013 (it's 5.4% now). Germany and the Netherlands are similarly committed.

To do so, the French government has announced that it will increase taxes, all over. So EU taxpayers do pay, and the author should listen to French TV; the declarations of the gov are loud and clear.

BTW, how could it be otherwise? Debt is just delayed spending.

Shamebook

The valuation of \"Facebook\" is rumored to be 100 billion dollars. It has more to do with very well organized crime than anything else (Goldman sachs is one of the main sponsors, of "Facebook", and the valuation). The company makes nearly no profits and has 2,000 employees, worldwide. Some French journalists surprised CIA employees they personally knew, at Facebook headquarters.


This sort of companies make it big, thanks to the enormous interior American market. A French company had a Facebook like company, but because of the smaller French market, and the lack of market manipulations American VCs are connected with the government for, it made just enough to get its ideas stolen.


Such Silicon Valley companies do not have really state of the art technology. American planners confuse tech superiority and market size. Hence a dangerous illusion, because organized crime tricks do not lead to real tech superiority, as the USSR demonstrated.

Health Greed USA, Health care, UK

Americans do not realize how uncivilized their society increasingly looks from overseas. And worse is to come: HEALTH GREED instead of health care in the USA is only part of it. USA neoconservatives ask not whether Medicare saves money to society. They ask whether Medicare maximizes greed to their friends.

David Cameron, British PM, June 2011:

"Ask a Briton to describe “American-style” healthcare, and you’ll hear a catalog of horrors that include grossly expensive and unnecessary medical procedures and a privatized system that favors the rich. For a people accustomed to free healthcare for all, regardless of income, the fact that millions of their cousins across the Atlantic have no insurance and can’t afford decent treatment is a farce as well as a tragedy... We will not be selling off the NHS [National Health Service], we will not be moving towards an insurance scheme, we will not introduce an American-style private system...” insisted Prime Minister David Cameron to a group of healthcare workers in a nationally televised address."


Prime Minister David Cameron is, alike Sarkozy, Merkel and Berlusconi, a conservative. None of these leaders would dream to modify seriously their national health system with free basic coverage to all. The German universal health system originated with Chancellor Bismarck, more than 125 years ago.

So why is the USA heading the other way? Why is it devolving? because all civilization are threatened by plutocracy, and the later is a non linear phenomenon, as difficult to extirpate as metastic cancer. it comes to pervade the body politics.

In truth all too many of the people who are elected in the USA, run for office, only so that they will please the plutocrats, knowing full well that they will be rewarded, as the Clintons were rewarded.

We have got to the point, in the USA, where the political system selects particularly for the greedy unconscionable.

The French were very surprised and extremely shocked that the head of the IMF was treated worse than a wild and dangerous beast (beasts don't get chained). All this while he was presumed innocent (his gigantic young and muscular accuser, a dedicated Muslim, who has posed for racy pictures (!) risks only a "misdemeanor, if she invented the whole no-physical-injury "aggression"). Once the Europeans, and others, figure out that the present American plutocratic in its fully ravenous mode, their contempt will have adverse economic consequences for the USA. Banana republic, especially without bananas, do not look like a good place to invest anything whatsoever.

Sex & Drug Legalization Unavoidable

"Sex Crime Unit", New York. The Pride Of A Big Apple, or Just One More Snake in the Garden of the Beasts?

The "Sex Crime Unit" is famous for punishing the old, weak, overweight, sick, oxygen deprived, brainy head of the International Monetary Fund, the economist Dominique Strauss-Kahn, for "subjecting another person to sexual contact without the later person's consent". Apparently the Jew Strauss-Kahn "attempted" to cavort with a mysterious towering young muscular maid of the fanatical Muslim kind, whose legal migrant status is far from clear.

The old, weak, overweight, sick, oxygen deprived Dominique Strauss-Kahn is supposed to have overwhelmed the physically powerful, without causing any physical injury, probably using his dirty, powerful French mind. Powerful French minds, and the "French Theory", not far behind it, should be illegal, as they cause grave injury to the New York Centered World Trade plutocracy.

It is turning out that Ms tall, young and muscular victim, posed for racy and provocative pictures which ornament the frontcover of a magazine in Switzerland. You will not see those pictures in the USA, for obvious reasons of basic propaganda of the plutocratically financed politicians in New York. Don't be surprised if Ms Provocative shows up at the tribunal in a veil, clutching some beads, shaking all over with fear! Greed does that, sometimes, or more exactly the fear of not satisfying it.

The New York Sex Crime Unit is the object of a cult in America. It has 40 detectives: sex is big in New York, and its crimes numerous. Everybody says that the "Sex Crime Unit" is "very respected". It prosecutes, namely puts in cages and treats as dogs, 1,000 individuals a year. OK, one does not chain dogs, that would be cruel to animals, especially if innocent. Only 20 of those prosecutions of the "very respected Sex Crime Unit", result in condemnations, though. Let's think a second about what that means.

I am not saying that there should not 1,000 inquiries on "Sex Crimes". I think that any "Sex Crime" lead ought to be followed diligently, and even ferociously in the case of possible "pedophilia". But I think that, as for other suspicion of possible criminal activity, prosecution ought to be done very discreetly, to protect the innocent.

So let's consider the innocent. It turns out that the innocent are 98% of those the "very respected Sex Crime Unit" puritanizes and terrorizes every year.

I am just observing that 980 people a year get treated worse than dogs, like criminals, American style, and are found to be innocent, every year, in New York, about alleged sex crimes they did not commit. Although they were publicly humiliated, condemned in the court of public opinion, and punished for all to see, for crimes they did not commit. Punishing the innocent, especially publicly is outlawed in fully civilized society. that is actually why the law exists in the first place.

Now, if you beat a dog, he will turn nasty. especially if you do it for no good reason. Just try it. Moreover, far from being a deterrent, a rush to condemnation and condemnation encourages many to cross the Rubicon. Thus the question is this: is the "Sex Crime Unit" itself crime generating?

If police brutality itself is criminogen, a much needed explanation for the high rate of crime in the USA would offer itself. Criminogen police activity would go a long way towards explaining that about 10 million Americans are actively punished, under official condemnations, every year, with 2.5 million imprisonned. The highest rate in the world.
***


Speaking of Criminogen Police Hyper Activity,

A prestigious United Nation commission found that the "War Against Drugs" has not worked any better than the famous prohibition against alcohol in the USA, in the 1920s. The later had increased considerably organized crime, by making many in the USA accomplice with the mobsters. Prohibition was terminated by president Roosevelt.

Interestingly "drug abuse", which is punished, implies that "drug use", a milder form, should go unpunished. The point is that very dangerous drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and various "medical" neurological drugs, some given to children (Ritalin), are authorized. So why is not mild use of some other drugs also authorized?

The president of Bolivia has insisted that some mild coca should be allowed for sale outside of Bolivia (where it is legal).

Funny aside: although I use tea and coffee, I have never ever used alcohol and tobacco. I just did not like the idea to have to drink something to be merry, or poison the atmosphere, to look cool. Happiness and calm ought to be spiritually generated, for those who live by the superiority

However I have resided at high altitude in Bolivia, and loved coca tea (sold there in grocery stores). It's quite different from normal tea, but extremely nice. Energetic, soothing, friendly to the mind.

I can't imagine how one could abuse it, and what is wrong with it. Thus I deduce the screaming against some drugs is highly hypocritical, and it's not our ex-"blow" (cocaine) using "black" president who is going to contradict me.

Let's remember that coffee, at strong dosage, is forbidden at the Olympic Games. At very high doses (100 cups), coffee is lethal (so is water). However, correct usage of coffee is good for the mind, and for health in general (it has been proven to reduce Alzheimer).
