Human Political Economy and Criminal Deviancy

If the panoramic development of human political economy is stimulated by strategic factors of what in principle , in deed and with all regard is criminal and morally deviant, then why shouldn't instances of crime in it's petty mundane expression as it is experienced at the national-social level also stimulate the progress of political economy?

Propaganda of social behavior repetitiously detonates the fiat, that economical crime is destructive upon society. Charts are presented showing how deviancy deprives society of "X" amounts of wealth.

But the fact of the matter is the destructiveness of deviancy has an economical impact on society that is positive in it's stimulation and accentuation of progressive development. Deviancy during times of peace is like unto the economic quickening of War in the times of strife.

Take for instance the United States, deviance quantumly and qualitatively has enhanced and tremendously developed it's political economy. From the crimes against humanity of slavery and the moral crimes of it's Colonizer pioneer-settlers upon the Native Americans, to the relative contemporary lawlessness of it's deprived and marginalized elements. The U.S. and it's manifest destiny has clearly reaped the rewards of it's incipient and inherent criminality a million times over.

If the standard of living of a society and it's foundational prosperity equals it's realized economic potential. Meaning the accumulative potential, and it's realizational means, then any factor which induces and stimulates it's progressive development, has to be of benefit and for the greater good of society as a whole.

Crime, deviance and the entire relative structure it effects supports in extension the formative and substantial existence of human political economy in it's particular and general sense.

This post and it's position it defends is not to be construed as an apology for malaise of Crime and Deviancy. This position is simply a rigor in contra with those hypocritical opportunistic-ravings purportedly in defense of human innocence.

A rigorous and stern critique' of human society and culture will reveal that deviancy in it's complexities and the raw sophistication of crime is an unmistakable fact of the more developed and advanced political economics of the World and that is not an inexplicable anomaly but simply the derived symbiosis of the political economy in question.

The Mediocre Snob Lev Grossman and THE NET

What is wrong with the comment-phenomena on THE NET? Well to the mediocre snob Lev Grossman it is a negative on the economy of speech on THE NET.

In a July 21, 2008; Time essay Lev Grossman was once again channeling quintessential vacuity. The argument that the canaille on THE NET are some how to blame or should be indicted for coarsening it's speech is laughable as Lev Grossman and his writings.

The Democracy Dialectic, China and Value Speculation

The Communist Party of China in it's Deng Xiaoping revisionist milieu does have a contribution to the Democracy dialectic.

Mao Zedong once declared let a 1000 flowers bloom which is Mao Zedong thought speak for diversity of speech, thought and dialectical synthesis with caveat that it is philosophically materialist. Deng Xiaoping's revision once postulated, opening the window to let in air also lets in flies as parameter of democracy dialectic.


This question of China Democracy and the "Human Rights" polemics as it is raised in the Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, The Global War on Terror and the Iraq War contradiction tableau---should be easy for the Deng Xiaoping revisionist practice to respond to and it is simple. Whatever speech practiced should not be that opiate indulgence of reinventing the wheel, value speculation employs as it's classic diversionary tactic.

Reinventing the wheel philosphically is simple. It is that ubiquitous practice of resurrecting discredited and idealistic thought as a coping mechanism, a distortion of the economy of humanness. Which is commonly touted as free speech in the value speculation dialectic.

Political-Economy, Accountability and "Creative Capitalism"

There is this idea being pushed by Billionaires and Millionaires, " Creative Capitalism".

Political Economy polemics has been strange in a way whether it's materialist dialectical critique or the business as usual of relative speculative-value. Because without an objective mechanism for accountability that is divorced from the class and privilege exemption what does Political-Economy as conceptual structure mean.

Secondly. If social recognizable facts through the governmental medium acknowledges the need for philanthropic and charitable services by religious based entities. Why then isn't it appropriate for government which if we are to take American Political-Economy on it's conceptual value means "We the People..." to take on those functions?

Dr. Carnell Cooper and The Violence Intervention Program !!!

Few outside the immediate Baltimore area have heard of The Violence Intervention Program(V.I.P.).

Not many people outside the medical community especially Trauma-Surgery have heard of



Dr. Carnell Cooper. A Black, Baltimore, Maryland Surgeon. Who after 19 years as a Trauma-Surgeon, saving violently injured young Black people realized his Trauma-Surgery expertise was being used at the end result and consequences of certain negative colliding determinants.


Dr.Carnell Cooper started The Violence Intervention Program which specifically focuses of the issue of how to merge and fuse young Black people with Jobs because Dr. Cooper correctly understands that the question of Black violence is a Political-Economic one.
It has been historically expedient and insidious to critique Black social an criminal deviancy simply on the social-value construct at the expense of a political-economic base that enables the progressive evolution of social-values to even come into existence.

Dr Carnell Cooper's Violence Intervention Program and it's focus on Jobs attempts to correct that.

Rap and Classical Music


To the critics of Hip Hop and Rap Music, it's form and art: how do we explain those historical occurrences of epic proportions that have simply numbed the human psyche in it's scale and dimension of violence that were nurtured on the symphonic refrains of Classical Music.

CNN, Essence Magazine, The Black Experience and the Solution of If

On 7/19/o8; CNN aired a quasi symposia or discussion organized by it's media group sister publication Essence Magazine. It was titled "Reclaiming The Dream", a reference to Martin Luther King Jr.

It was hosted by CNN's Soledad O'brien and the panel was an attempt at cross sampling Black Intelligentsia. Cornel West, Professor at Princeton, Sheryl Lee Ralph, actor cum Aids activist, T.D. Jakes, Preacher, Julianne Malveaux, President Bennet College, Tom Joyner, Radio Personality, Ed Gordon, Journalist, Hill Harper, Actor cum Writer, Roland Fryer, Economist Harvard, and Jabali Sawicki, Principal Excellence Charter School.

The subject matter was the Black Experience. An attempt was made to focus and isolate solutions to questions on Gender Relations and Marriage, Intermediate Education and the Aids Disease as a social and health issue.

All sorts of words filled the ninety minuets of the show airing, of course minus commercial time and not once was job creation discussed.

But the question is and will always be Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, and more Jobs.

If every single Black Child graduated from College, If every single Black Man and Woman married and affiliated their self with religion. If every Black Man, Women and Child seeked employment and for the children summer job's---can American Political-Economy provide universal employment?

If the question of job creation isn't seen as the fundamental motive it should be---If there is always this fraudulent exercise of intellect.

If rote-education, religion and marriage are the cure-all then why hasn't the millions of Black university graduates, the millions of Black religious adherents and the millions of married Black couples been able to stabilize, nurture and lead Black Political-Economy in that viable direction where social and criminal deviancy is nothing more than an irrelevant anomaly?

But despite the millions of educated, religious and married Black people when that marginalized reality of the Black Experience sneezes the Black community as a whole catches a cold and CNN makes more money selling commercial time, hosting another panel of the well-fed who naively ignore the Political-Economy dearth causality, as they labor propping up If as reality.

Dissidents, Informants, Traitors and Politics

With Daily revelations out of Eastern Europe and Russia, of former dissidents who played central roles in the much claimed transition from state capitalism to private speculation. Being state informants of the various Communist Parties and State Security apparatus.

It then frames the question how much of the so-called dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and Eastern European politics has been merely tactical?

What does it then mean for informants and traitors to assume leadership roles in pluralistic parliamentary politics and its political-economy?

For example the Former Polish leader Lech Walesa is claimed by the recent book, "The Security Service and Lech Walesa", to have been an informant for Poland's Communist Party during it's rule in the 1970's and 1980's. Yet he was the face of The Solidarity Movement and it's dissident politics and subsequently became Poland's President. Lech Walesa has long since denied these claims.

Mitt Romney on Crime: 27,000 Black Males killed in Past Five Years, It's a Parental Issue

Mitt Romney, the Republican loser and Mormon. A so-called business genius who couldn't even manage his own political campaign for the Republican nomination for President. Making one bad Judgement after another, sinking money and more money when it was clear S.S. Mitt had run a ground.



Has once again shown that prejudice distorts and clouds his grasp of social reality. In response to a question on the disproportionate killings of young Black Males and crime within the Black community. Mitt Romney flippantly remarked, the 27,000 young Black Males who have been killed across the nation in the past five years was a parental issue.

The Cold War, Botox and CNN: At least Neanderthals had an Excuse

Does any one remember Nadia Comaneci and Mark Spitz? Two Olympic athletes from the Cold War Era when Botox wasn't something vain crazies puffed their faces up with. But it was something humorless men and women, drones for ideology tinkered with behind blast proof doors, in places germ war thriller fiction writers imagined. When it was Botulism.

What then does the corporate media giant CNN have to do with this? Well it seems nothing is more newsworthy than the fact Nadia Comaneci and Mark Spitz are shrills and peddlers for Botox and CNN reasoned it would justify it's bottom-line quest with, considering the success of the "make-over" phenomena, an infomercial disguised as news.

So on 7/16/08; on it's head-lining morning news was CNN's Alina Cho, concluding her report with (and I'm paraphrasing) What troubles critics is a lot of athletes will see how much money can be made plugging Botox and all sorts of Cold War unmentionables and I guess the Vandals will be at the gates!

The Surreality of what passes as objective necessities of the human condition these days... at least Neanderthals had an excuse! They didn't have Lou Dobbs harrumphing and Rick Sanchez haranguing.

What is the Black Father and The Black Experience

Jesse Jackson
Cover of Jesse Jackson
Okay so Barack Obama is being critical of parenting in the Black community. Jesse Jackson whispered his intention of castrating Obama to a bewildered face on of all places Bill O'Reily at Fox News Studios. Because in Jackson's view Barack Obama is talking down to Black People. Eric Dyson an ardent Obama supporter apologizes then criticizes Obama's formulation and presentation of a fact, everyone agrees is material and objective.

Eric Dyson's position is , criticism, of what is the Black father in U.S. political-economy is first and foremost that of a status-quo distortion. Because certain studies show that Black fathers are as much involved in the lives of their children, despite the fact it is not universal total involvement because the fathers are not with the mothers, it is still involvement and as such it's critique hints at another motive.

Jesse Jackson's position is Barack Obama's critique is demagoguery and it doesn't expand and effectively lay bare the issue in the context of the effects of U.S. political-economy on the question, What is the Black Father.

The question What is the Black Father automatically anticipates What is the Black Mother.

How was this question formulated during the philosophizing period of Black American self-determination? What was the context of it's impact as it contended with that one and only underlying basis of it's existence, that of historical and specific American injustice?

It is relatively an idealist exercise to statically criticize dynamic elements. Specifically whether it's the idealism of Barack Obama, the reaction of Jesse Jackson and the apologetic-intellectualism of Eric Dyson.

Jesse Jackson's Operation Push hasn't presented the question and it's antagonistic element to the fore of U.S. political-economy, contrary to Jackson's assumptions.

Eric Dyson's writings has simply been preaching to the choir.

So besides the leveraged pabulum spoon fed the Black Condition by minds and hearts that seek manna from skies that can only reflect the steel, glass and concrete of it's contradictions.

What exactly is critique for it's own sake? Where is the formulation and it's organic intent to resolve the What is the Black Father question and the Black experience in U.S. political-economy?

NuJood Ali, The Ten Year Old Girl who Stood Up to Child Sexual Abuse in Yemen

What is it with Yemen? Are adult females in Yemen that small of stature and stunted in physical development that a ten year old girl, a child, can pass as an adult and is an adequate representation of Yemeni feminine maturity?

A ten year old Yemen girl NuJood Ali was sold for marriage by her family to a thirty something Yemeni man and according to their tradition and culture it was appropriate.
This ten year old girl NuJood Ali was unlike the average Yemeni child. NuJood Ali correctly understood her predicament as child sexual abuse and despite the weight of Yemen tradition and culture rebelled.

NuJood Ali proactively went to the Court House and presented her case to a Judge. On the grounds, her thirty year old so-called husband , beat her, assaulted her and raped her.
The Judge ruled in her favor, annulled the "Marriage" and required ten year old NuJood Ali pay alimony of $200!!!!!!

The relief agency OXFAM claims the majority of Yemen brides are under 18.
Ten year old NuJood stood up to child sexual abuse. Now Yemeni adults have to stand up with her, redirect their Political-Economy and abandon child molestation as Marriage and tradition is not an excuse.

The $700 Billion Hoodwink, A Tactic for Big Oil

Lately a phrase has been falling from the lips of corporate media parrots, the mind numbing of so-called pundits. The phrase is $700 billion is sent to oil producing nations and it is the greatest transfer of wealth the human condition has ever witnessed. The point, with exception to a few others, is the rapacious Big Oil Companies should be allowed to have their way extracting oil from places opposing analysis say will be harmful to the human condition.

I want to focus on this $700 Billion transfer of paper money idea as having this dire negative consequence. First of all $70 Billion sent by the United States to oil producing nations simply means American industry recoups it and American productivity expands.


Lets take Dubai an oil producing nation and it's hell bent policy of playing with glass and steel. Every single dollar of Dubai oil revenue spent on it's glass and steel infatuation is returned to the United States and other Western industrialized nations, to do what? Buy the necessary technology and know how to erect it's Sky Scrapers.

This simply means companies as Caterpillar in the U.S., Komatsu in Japan and many others are able to keep their production lines churning heavy equipment for Dubai. Meaning job creation and national productivity stability.

Big Oil Companies will stop at nothing in this war for the hearts and minds and any and all skew of political-economy is fair tactic.

John McCain, Taxes and the Super Rich: "Straight Talk" in Plunder and Looting

John McCain's argument for continuing George W. Bush extreme tax cuts for the super rich is down right obscene.

If the Bush Administration's economic policy and it's tax cuts for the super rich as supported by John McCain has brought the Nation to this speculators orgy in the oil and real estate industry with it's rat abandoning ship consequences.

If the Bush Economic Policy which stands for the super rich hardly paying any taxes. Has presided over bridges tumbling, crumbling and pot holed roads. Entire cities swamped and flooded and the stand alone, in a class by itself violation of New Orleans because of organizational incompetence, infrastructural neglect and the infamous "Brownie you're doing a heck of a job".

If a primary argument for the rich not paying taxes as supported by John McCain: A less taxed rich is dynamo for job creation. Then why has the outsourcing of a substantial type of American productivity grown exponentially with the rich enjoying tax cuts?

Then what is John McCain saying? That the plunder and looting under George Bush and tax cuts for the super rich hasn't been completed so he is running a Bush third term to complete it?

Jesus Christ, Mark Twain and the Moral Revision of Steven L. Carter

What exactly would happen were the much idealized by Western Civilization, Jesus Christ, the Son of Man to storm into the New York Stock Exchange and re-create the assault on the New Testament's Temple money changers with another whipping and beating of contemporary speculators? There would naturally be another Crucifixion re-creation.

Fast forward to this moral revisionary excuse of Mark Twain's racism by the Yale Professor of Law. Stephen L. Carter in the 7/14/08; time Magazine. Every time the failings and shortcomings of accomplished human beings are explained either in diminishing posture as Mark Twain's racism or the exaggerations of those history revilies. Contemporary sensibilities and the human condition as a totality is defined fraudulently.

In a preparatory essay for the Obama Presidency. Stephen L. Carter on Mark Twain on the issue of race wrote:

"Twain's racial pitch was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example, by the lengthy passage in his autobiography about how much he loved what were
called "Nigger Shows" in his youth..."

Carter goes on to pose this question:

Was Twain a racist?... If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the pompous "wisdom" of considered moral judgements of the present, we will find othing but error.

First of all the only error to be found is Stephen L. Carter's pathetic mental cowardice. The oppositionary root to American racism of Mark Twain's period is the contemporary reality of racist and racism being anathema. Carter's "pompous "wisdom" of the present," has nothing to do with historical racism of Mark Twain nor does excuse or mitigate it.

The human condition would be better served with dialectical facts which simply state: A Mark Twain could be a racist and schizophrenic-like, critically satirize it's hypocrisy.

If as Stephen L. Carter proposes that the specific backwardness of racism is a mere relative sensibility. Then religious fundamentalism of all stripes should be given no quarter and ridiculed as mere idealistic exercise devoid and divorced from the objectivity of Carter's "pompous wisdom".
