HALF-FULL REPORT 01/04/13

Should we start with Headline of the Year?  "Hillary ‘I dodged sniper fire’ Clinton Near Death after Supersecret Crash Landing in Iran," brought to you by the überwackos at Lyndon Larouche’s EU Times nutball website.

It’s astonishing that Drudge would carry this drivel as if it were a real news story.  The EU Times is an Internet hoax site that dreams up the most goofball conspiracy theories out of thin air for the fun of it or to gain attention to their pathetically fragile egos.  They are maxed-out looney tunes.

So welcome to 2013.  The craziness this year has in store for us has only just begun.  Yet the real craziness – lethally dangerous craziness – comes not from Internet weirdos but from Washington DC.  So lethal that the HFR is now a staunch advocate of gun-control.

Do you have any idea how many federal departments and agencies have agents that carry guns?  Even the Post Office has these armed fascist thugs called OIG (Office of the Inspector General) Special Agents breaking and entering people’s homes tracking down "mail fraud" – which could be any email you’ve ever sent.

Gun control for federal agents is what’s needed, not gun control for law-abiding citizens.  The literally crazy problem is, there’s no such thing as a law-abiding citizen anymore. The purpose of 98% of the Federal Register is for there to be some law or rule the Federalies can criminalize you with if they want.  We’re all criminals now, which is by Washington’s design.

************

The purpose of the law in America is supposed to be to protect citizens from criminals.  Now its purpose is to protect the government from citizens.  The only non-violent method of resistance to this is civil disobedience.  Refusal to obey immoral and unconstitutional Jim Crow laws in the Democrat-run South is what enabled their removal. 

Thus the South is solid Republican today – and is the region where civil disobedience to Washington Fascism is most likely to surge.  The South will of course be demonized by the CommieMedia for this, of course, bleating jejune accusations of "racism!"

Let’s hope the fascicrats do not respond like Bull Connor, who used attack dogs on peaceful demonstrators in Birmingham (May, 1963 – note that Bull Connor was a member of the Democrat National Committee and of the Ku Klux Klan).  For if they do, folks may take guidance from women in Assam, India.

How’s this for an inspiring headline (1/03):  Women Strip and Beat Politician.  There’s a name for this:  Justice.  How many politicians, bureaucrats, gun-toting agents, and political propagandists posing as "journalists" for the CommieMedia deserve to get the crap beat out of them?  Can you count that high?

************

That beat-up Indian politician had just raped a woman.  (I know what you’re thinking:  what a shame that never happened to our rapist former president.)  Rape in India has suddenly become an explosive issue due to a horrific gang-rape in Delhi last month.  At last, the truth about rape in India is coming out into the open.

Zero and the Dems launched this asinine "War on Women" attack on Romney and the Pubs last year – but to see a real war on women, look no farther than India.  Ever hear of "dowry murders"?  Thousands of Indian brides are murdered by their husbands every year for failure to continually bribe the husband’s family with money and gadgets.

How about female infanticide? Millions of babies are murdered every year in India just because they are girls.  The UN has designated India as the deadliest country in the world for little girls.  There is now a word for what India is doing:  Femicide.

The 50 Million Missing campaign documents the criminally insane slaughter – female genocide – in India.

Then there’s rampant sex slavery in India – little girls that weren’t murdered by their parents sold by their parents into prostitution.  Or young teenage wives sold by their husbands.  According to Seven Sisters International, over one million young girls are sex slaves in India today.  Research by Free The Slaves shows that India has more human beings as slaves (slavery in all forms, such as labor, debt bondage, and sex) than any other country in the world.

Puts America’s problems in perspective, doesn’t it?  Nonetheless, the freedom of every honest and productive American is being raped by the federalies led by our faux president.  We all have been sold into slavery to Leviathan, and our children have been sold into debt bondage.  The time sure seems ripe for a Slave Revolt.

So, India has its woes.  It’s once booming economy is sputtering due to still-pathetic infrastructure, incurable corruption, and suffocating bureaucracy.  What can we expect elsewhere in 2013?

Intense focus will soon be on Venezuela.  Chavez is finally dying, and his successors will be making nicey-nice with the US in hopes that Zero will support their keeping power.  Buena suerte on that, amigos.  The best the Chavistas can most likely hope for is not to get their throats slit.

Egypt’s economy will die.  Inflation and capital flight are exploding.  There’s no money to pay for food imports, which is how the country feeds itself.  Food riots and outright starvation will obliterate the new Moslem Brotherhood dictatorship.  This may be the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis this year. 

In a sane world, Congress wouldn’t appropriate one dime of US taxpayers’ money for it.  They’d tell Saudis like Prince Alwaleed with his $485 million dollar airplane to pay for it.  Then again, we don’t live in a sane world, do we?

Syria will die as a country.  The place almost has to balkanize.  This is good for the Kurds, and bloodily bad for most everyone else.

Watch for the global CommieMedia freak-out over the results of Israel’s January 22 elections, which will solidify pro-Israel right-wing control over the Knesset.  Most all of Israel is so ticked off at global bias against their country that it will give the "Philistinians" nothing but the back of their hand, while supporting a strike on Iran.

Bibi should thus be strong enough to flip off Zero and take care of the problem with Iran.  The best way, though, is via sabotage rather than a fighter jet/cruise missile airstrike.  This may have gotten seriously underway already, as on Wednesday (1/02), Iranian authorities began ordering the evacuation of Isfahan.

Isfahan is one of the jewels of the world.  I’ll never forget the time I spent there, back in the 70s before the Khomeini takeover.  The mosque of Shah Abbas, the Sheikh Loftallah mosque, the other monuments and architecture all just staggeringly beautiful.  Look at the Google images of Isfahan to see what I mean.

The Mullah crazies in Tehran built a nuclear facility that now threatens this treasure.  One way or the other, let’s wish Bibi good luck on taking them out.  The world would surely miss Isfahan, but not miss the headquarters of Al Quds, Pasdaran, or the Basiji, nor the presidential palace or the parliament building in Tehran one bit.

Continuing our glimpse into the world of 2013, Africa will continue to be hailed as the Continent of the Future – as it was last year and the year before, and will be next year and the next.

In Europe, the euro will finally be recognized as the world’s most overvalued currency.

Putin’s Russia will get ever more desperate, with bribes and bullying, to stave off fracking throughout Europe.

The most interesting geopolitical drama of 2013, however, will be the new governments of Japan, China, and South Korea.

China is now led by Xi Jinping, an advocate of "Leninist Capitalism," supporting the State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) that are bankrupting China, and the military millionaires who run the SOEs.  Yes, the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army) officer corps is a business, and an impossibly corrupt one.

South Korea is now led by Geun-Hye Park, the daughter of Cheung-Hee Park, military dictator 1961-1979, and the first female ruler of Korea since Queen Jinseong of Silla in the 9^th century (ruled 887-897).

Most interesting of the three is Japan’s new leader, Shinzo Abe.  Last week (12/26) he and his party (Liberal Democrat) won a landslide victory, winning 328 of the Diet’s 480 seats (68%).  Actually, it was more than a landslide – it was the end of World War II for Japan.

Since 1945, Japan has been governed with a pacifist constitution forced upon it by the US – initially with quite good reason.  The days of bottomless guilt for the sins of their forefathers, and a no real military – just a small "self-defense force" – are over.  No more guilt, no more being pushed around, either by the US or China.

This is disturbing to the Euroweenies – such as at Britain’s Economist who fret about the "right-wing militaristic" Abe government – and their testicularly atrophied counterparts at our State Department.

Abe is a smart guy, though.  He will not pick fights with the Chicoms and try hard to achieve business cooperation between Japan and China.  But if the Chicoms pick a fight with Japan – as they are gratuitously doing over rocks in the East China Sea (the Senkaku Islands), Abe will not back down.

Thus we’re hearing many predictions of impending war – outright bang-bang war – between China and Japan in the East China Sea.  More likely is China backing down in the face of Abe not putting up with its bullying.  It could go sideways.  Even though I think the odds are against it, keep a watch on this.

And what will Ms. Park do?  No one in the world hates Japan more than Korea.  China shares this common hatred.  Thus she will be sorely tempted to strike a deal supporting China against Japan in the East China Sea if ­- if – China will sell out North Korea in exchange.  Yes, 2013 will be, as the Chinese say, "interesting times."

OK, OK… what about us?  What fresh hell will we be subjected to this year?

Frankly, it depends on our willingness to be subjected.

With this week’s antics on Capitol Hill being even more insane – literally, not figuratively or hyperbolically, demented – than usual, the most important action for each of us is to get out of harm’s way as much as possible.  Start thinking seriously of how you could move to a solid Red State if you’re not already in one. See The One Number That Can Keep America Intact (December 2012).

As it stands at the moment, the only possibility for sanity on Capitol Hill is if the House Pubs refuse to raise the debt ceiling.  Byron York argues that they will.  My hopes, as I’m sure are yours, are not high.  Miniscule, nanoscopic.  Picoscopic might be a tad cynical.

Whatever happens in 2013, TTP will do its best to be here for you.  We’ll get through this.  Zerocare and other fascist lunacies will impact our economy and lives with such destructive force that, as last week’s HFR predicted, 2013 will be The Year of the Backlash.

This will be the year of Americans saying "Enough!"  This will be the year we start reinventing freedom again.

Two postscripts.  First, What to Read yesterday (1/03) failed to mention Joel’s Mastering Happiness.  Quite an oversight, as it’s the best $12 you may ever spend.

Second, I cannot thank Joe Katzman enough for making Weekly Mind Food a reality.  We’ll keep it going for you, Joe!  TTP is deeply grateful.
