Conservatism Intellectual-Liberalism and Its Bottom Pit Critique and War

For too long American-Conservatism and it's foot soldier have criticized liberalism and the war on poverty as a bottomless pit of spent money.

The Bottomless pit of spent money critique is also used to deride and dismiss demands to fund public education.

Conservatism critique is summed up as despite the amount of money spent on the war on poverty and public education. Issues still persist and exist, so liberalisms approach has been wrong and only conservatism's intellectual-liberalism and its personal responsibility and social engineering narrative will allow redemption for the poor and non-unionized teachers [euphemestically presented as charter schools] will save public education

Our political-economy, however, reminds us that the conservative critique on both accounts is false and outright deceptive.

No one will dare argue that nevertheless the bottomless pit of taxpayer money spent on waging wars. The idea and its practice of waging war is a failure because not only is war still with us but is constant as the sun rising    so we should promptly embark on the ..... Beating swords into plows .....delusion and stop pouring taxpayer money into the bottomless pit of the nations military, intelligence agencies and the state organized violence of law and order which is also another bottomless pit of public expenditure, because nothing seems to indicate that crime is deterred or reformed.

But as soon as the question is: How is value [money] interacted with, who has access to it    we encounter the distortion of what is good for the goose isn't good for the gander or the pot can with a straight face `a la the banal and fatuous pronouncements of Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, on work and dignity and Amy Holmes cohost of PBS In Principle. [who hasn't encountered nothing pre-fixed conservatism that doesn't cause her orgasmic swoon] call the kettle black   In furious reaction to any attempt and effort at showing that certain unresolved and unsettled accounts of our political-economy are inherent saboteurs on the question of poverty.

Conservatism and its intellectual-liberalism has long given up any pretense to "thought" and embraced its true calling: the deification cult of the reactionary Ronald Reagan. So it's contemporary practice when not doing 3-legged and sack races with every last slithering denizen from not the mere unjust side of history but the wrong side of it, almost accomplishing the impossible of stepping outside of it   the incredulity of what it has become escape it, as it negates its own dignity, a dignity, to let Authur Brooks lecture us, its lack is what ails American Poverty.

Conservatism has no issue with the antagonism of a national-economy maintained on taxpayer money going to bomb makers, missile makers, handcuffs, and shackles manufacture, police uniforms makers for the primary purpose of money distribution for the employment of a majority white worker. Or taxpayer money subsidizing all sectors and activities of the American political-economy from the industrial-practical to hair-brained enterprise but not limited to charlatan think tanks i.e American Enterprise Institutes, for the specific purpose of money circulation and redistribution. But as soon as the same identical logic of government created money underpins a response in the war on poverty and is circulated to the welfare recipient     [and should be noted has enabled, catalysed and accelerated the wealth accumulation of Walmart Inc. and it's contemporaries catering to the welfare recipient] which by the way is at a far lesser amount than what is given to the bomb-making white worker whose existence as a worker is primarily due to randomness of being born white. Conservatisms intellectual-liberalism emerges in reaction to if not insidiously misanthropic arguments, dubious ones that amount to: The American poor of whom a majority, by the way, work have not embraced enough the Auschwitz Death Camp motto of work will set you free  [which Arthur Brooks of AEI shouldn't have any problem in finding his dignity supposition in it] or the fact adults are reduced to raising families on McDondalds wage isn't basis enough to raise the minimum wage because Conservatism's intellectual-liberalism supposes fast-food wages are intended for teenagers.

Conservatism has been getting away with its snake-oil, charlatan analysis because the Progressive critique and its liberal worldview has yielded one too many times

Bitcoin and Idealistic-Meritocracy

To paraphrase Marx, the emergence of money presents its own set of rules. To wit, bitcoin as an expression of money clearly does.

The problem with bitcoin is: it tilts the value dialectic to an extreme form of meritocracy, an idealistic-meritocracy to be specific. i.e. only the mathematically adept or a comparable digital program can access it, "mine" for it, after solving advanced theoretical mathematics.

Or those with conventional paper money or liquidity can afford its speculated inflated value. Either of bitcoin access points returns us to the antagonisms of old world or analog money.

The truth is bitcoin nor old-world analog money expresses the value dialectic which money is intended to do, minus the Marxian-Contradiction of "its own sets of rules". Thus squarely placing bitcoin as another distortion, another idealistic-Meritocracy that shackles the Human Condition to the suppositions of others and with equally destructive consequences on Human conditional sets of relations as the industrial revolution despite existential progress.

The Prisoners Wife By Asha Bandele: A Review

The book is supposedly A Love Story. But I don't know what to make of it---It's too full of recriminations, regrets, resentments, and condescension to be a result of love, as love is understood by the human condition.

The setting for this "Love" is Prison, not any prison for that matter but the insidious and
Machiavellian enterprise of an American prison, The Department of Corrections of The State of New York. The story is a reflection of the tumultuous state of American cultural expression and it's subjective, American Hearts and Minds, because if the cultural and emotional expression of the human is simply a sum of character, then love as the ultimate value of emotion and its medium culture will reflect the state and nature of its subjective. Emotion in the most sublime of conditions and environment is still a strange and mysterious beast, add the ingredient of the most alienative and perverted environmental condition known to humanity, prison and what will you have? What you should have is the sum value of human character, that baptism by fire through adversity, that qualitative redemption from the disjointedness of chaotic quantity but Ms. Bandele fails to even have an inkling of the maxim "I'm Solitude made Man" ---- Solitude which in this context is anguish, that accomplice of love, love which she claims.

The author's emotional consciousness is either objectively malnourished or her alienation from the objectivity of her femininity is so complete that she is confused, She mistakes the adventurous inclination of her Eros with that most consuming of emotions, "Love". Whether or not she wants to face up to and has the presence of mind to acknowledge it, she simply had a stimulating adventure with a prisoner, a test in that most simplistic and primitive of human urges, self-gratification in its motive of one-upmanship. As she tongue in cheek, succinctly puts it "I wanted to be important to someone again" [ pp.27]

For starters, Rashid her beloved, lover and subsequent husband is too one-dimensional and acquiescent, an emasculated corollary of collateral damage from the war between the sexes submitting disgracefully to his wife Asha's each and every undisciplined desire an infantile idealism for whatever it is and was, that was between them to be of that higher human emotion, Love, The only excusable rationalization for his behavior is the stimulus of the relationship in-it self and its satisfying impact on his "...Scorched-Earth" [pp.165] psyche was enough to overlook the dominance of his wife and that spells eunuchism.

Asha, on the other hand, would have us, readers believe that her most yearned for desire and sought for reality is to have her imprisoned mate free and with her, yet when she is impregnated, granted the germinating testimonial seed of their love, she has no problem aborting the fetus.

What is striking and revealing is at every turn of the way, their way and obstacles crop up, which in the general sense, with its solution or how they contend with it would enable their humaneness to define and give credibility to the love they purportedly share both fail its qualification pathetically. Rashid the prisoner and husband for being effeminate and obeisant to his wife's each and every indulgence and Asha the wife for misplacing her need for self-affirmation and its redemptive catharsis with love.

The author presents an unstated and treacherous premise that the pursuit of emotional, mental and physical communion between the imprisoned human and a free one is utterly unrealistic, futile and its fidelity is unattainable--- this premise itself raises the question of what role if any those higher sentient and sapient potentials of humanness plays in the condition of love, not as we misconstrue it to be but as we aspire it to be. If as we are wont to say that love has many facets and conditions then Rashid and Asha's rank at that, no greater than the sum of their undeveloped psyches. What then is Ms. Bandele telling us, "that the spirit is willing but the body is weak"? Or the whole relationship was nothing more than an academic project that is now bearing fruit with her writing a book about it.

To make a long story short "The Prisoners Wife" is a story of relationship between male and female and their dishonesty and inability in coBming to terms with the fact that they lacked the manhood and womanhood to develop, nurture and sustain love in that most stifling of environments------Prison.

I close with Asha Bandele invoked Assata Shakur's
"...If I know anything at all
it's that a wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.

It can be brought down."

And for 219 pages made a mockery of it with erecting that most noxious of walls       
"condescension".

What Difference Would It Make and The Speaking Rock

Were the nation to devolve into civil disorder and the inevitable Civil War; what difference would it make who sat on the Supreme Court?

What difference would it make whether Roe vs. Wade was repealed.

What difference would it make were abortion to become illegal.

What difference would it make were marriage equality were repealed.

What difference would it make were Transgenders deemed second class citizens.

What difference would it make were ObamaCare repealed or it's problems fixed.
What difference would the social-engineering of block grants to states in any form and individual accounts of any purpose mean, whether its health savings or the privatization of Social Security.
After the idea of equality before the law has been shattered and it's practice revealed as speculative and fraudulent.  What difference would it make if kids prayed at schools.
What difference would it make were the entire nation to become right to work charade.
What difference would it make that despite the dogma of vouchers, charters and religious schools we were still illiterate enough to devolve into Civil War?
What difference would it make that the lie is knowingly repeated that taxpayers fund abortions at Planned Parenthood clinics and salvation for our collective sins is defunding planned Parenthood and Woman Health Care apparatus.
What difference would the idealistic and intellectually-Liberal criticism of "political-correctness" mean.
What difference would banning Muslims mean, if the illiteracy bent on degrading, destroying and mocking the idea that holds us one is the clear and present danger our Constitution reminds we remain vigilant against the destruction from within.
What difference does it ever make for Conservatism and it's reaction to reduce progress and it's intrinsic liberty to an intellectually-Liberal critique that ignores the theological dicta that God regardless of name doesn't even have the answers and needs the devil for affirmation.
What difference does it make that the taxation polemic and critique is still formulated upon archaic feudalistic antagonisms at the expense of the fact that the valuation realization of money has long since abandoned idealistic standards of gold and now stands revealed as it should always be: objectivity of art, creativity, ambition and industry.
What difference does it make that we are still clubbed by illiteracy and it's ignorance into accepting hypocrisy as judgment and resentments as enlightenments'
What difference does it make that if government is "off, by and for the people." But we accept the deflection, that government isn't the solution but the problem we are negating our very aspirations as the people.
What different does it make that evangelism demands to fossil fuels we pray, to climate change denying we pray, to ape and Man share not common ancestry we pray at the expense of its New Testament proclaiming even rocks will speak and if such a mystery of the speaking rock is possible why then should evolution be at odds.
What difference does it mean if we buy into a phony critique that Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Public Employee Pensions, all Welfare programs, ObamaCare are "entitlements" that somehow subscribe to alien behaviors at odds with what money is, even Grandma's money under the mattress.
What difference does it make if we bestow credibility on The American Enterprise Institute recent assertion that poor people are unproductive and irrelevant. As if rich people cannibalize themselves and emerge and exist independent of the function of poor people and the accumulation of Walmart's billions doesn't have a direct line to Welfare allocation and the shopping by Welfare recipients.
What difference does it mean if Black People are told to make your own way, find your own way.  But as soon as White people in fly over country and it's de-industrialized midwest, express angst and exhibit classic symptoms of joblessness. We are told it's the much-maligned government's purpose to provide jobs for them.  Even as those very same White people voted over and over against government and for those speculative models of Republican governance and it's Reaganomics, who's consequence and result is de-industrialization and job losses.
What difference does it make if the rule of law cannot deprive us of life and liberty without it's due process.  But we accept, standard operating procedures, subjective perspective, the ignorance of fear, it's bias of illiteracy as substitution.  A reduction of the rule of law and it's due process to a petty, De Minimus failure of non-immediate, instantaneous compliance with police commands; is a waiver of the right to life and liberty.  It's obscene perversion captured by the utterance of a White juror.  "If my son behaved as the Black victim of a police shooting [non-immediate, instantaneous compliance with police commands] the police are right to kill them.
What difference does it make if prison officials in administrating prisons violate the rule of law that transforms free citizens into prisoners imprisoned, an embodiment of the Nixonian corruption that when the President does it, it is not a crime.
What difference does it make if we understand and know more about God than the money we recreate conditions of our existence with.  That the lies we accept as Political-Economy truth are: national debt and deficit if governmental spending isn't trimmed [which selectively means if Welfare programs are not slashed] will bankrupt us and the suppositionary specter of our proverbial grandkids enslaved by a bank that exist only in the clouds evoked.  So citizens whose literacy of what is money only extends to the antagonisms of their personal micro-relationship with it are alienated from the question: were the nation to devolve into civil disorder and the inevitable Civil War.  What difference would it make if pre-Civil War our national debt was $18 trillion and we have to come to terms with American exceptionalism being simply the literacy of cognition and comprehension that facts are objectivity.  Meaning irrespective of our existence and yes we are privileged with perspectives not in spite of but in affirmation and the averse function of organized violence is that Sword of Damocles reminding us of its Sisyphean futility that after it's all said and done we are homo sapiens and not homo martial and no amount of threats of annihilation and it's fact dislodge the inexorable cognitive principle, to which even the speech of Civil War is its affirmation.

The American Status Quo, It's Policing Organized Violence, Black Masculinity, Cooperation and Control

The Idea that the American status quo and it's policing organized violence is fearful and threatened by Black masculinity isn't wholly accurate and can be disproven by the level of injustice the American status quo and it's policing organized violence metes out to Black masculinity.  Because if the American status quo and it's policing organized violence was fearful and threatened by Black masculinity, it would be cautious and circumspective in it's blatant and overt practice of injustice, because the prospect of retaliation and retribution would loom large in it's Conservative imperative, but as the murderous practices of it's policing organized violence shows us, it's oblivious.

What however is accurate and correct is Black masculinity, in the calculus of the American status quo is to be controlled and as much as the American status quo and it's policing organized violence denigrates and dehumanizes Black masculinity it requires cooperation from Black masculinity to effect the control.  Meaning the American status quo and it's policing organized violence recognizes the humanity of Black masculinity as a comprehending medium even as it propagandizes the dehumanization of Black masculinity, a recognition that exposes the petty base nature of the controlling dynamic.

Religion is the new Racism.  Specifically, it is that old friend tyranny guised up under the Johnny-Come-Lately of the monkey see monkey do banner of that lover of the Human Condition, ignorance.

Racism being intolerance and beyond the pale is understood by the most backwardly naive to the sophisticated cynic.  But religious intolerance in all it's diverse forms thrives from planes slamming into the Twin Towers and Pentagon to the shrilling babel of voices across the land that places of unfamiliar worship and fellowship are sinister and evil.

Intellectual activity during ages past was of reason and enlightenment, laboring for tolerance and selfless apathy.  Intellectual activity in the age of religion is the new Racism labors for intolerance and it's defense.  It is Intellectual-Liberalism resurrecting the most crass, idealistic and misanthropic attitudes.  Religion is the new Racism is selfishness wrapped in the mantle of charity and it's Political-Economy contradictions.

From every religious fundamentalism to it's reaction and intolerance, religion is the new Racism has pathetically shown itself to be the bastion of Farmers Almanac aphorisms, pop psychology, and snake oil charlatans.  Each hypocritically requiring it's purported antithesis for survival and existence.

Our Coat of Many Colors and January 21st

God sees forest,
Fallen Angels see trees.

We are seen as one, alive, dead, dying or living, sitting, standing, we are one in our coat of many colors.

For 8 seconds Barack Obama reminded us of our one coat of many colors    till we remembered it was summer of hypocrisy, so we took off the coat to remind ourselves of the imperfections of our nakedness     scorned blue lacerated red clotting resentment.

And God sees forest,
and Fallen Angels walk among the trees.

Who is right is a cynical comedy of irrelevancies, we chuckle, brows knitted that the seer of forest taught it all came from the wrong of Women anyway.  And January 21st was the anyway.  Our arteries clogged with our Women wronged.  The one coat of many colors shimmering in the prism of honesty without the sophistry of alternative.  That scorn and resentment in its cynical comedy of irrelevancies stitch us one in our one coat of many colors.

And God sees Forest,
And Fallen Angels smelling the lonesomeness, apathetic towards enlightening, walk among trees.

Or are we to accept the proposition that the war on drugs as all proscriptions and social controls are nothing more than thinly veiled gambits to destabilize Black and Brown America particularly Black and Brown Men because what we see with pain killers medication is it is illegal activity indulged primarily by suburban White America and rural White America..

The Baltimore Black Community, The State Of Maryland and Antagonistic Dictatorship

If Homicides and relative criminality in parts of Baltimore have increased post the Freddie Gray

killing and the subsequent indictment of six police officers.  Instead of the situation seen as negative, serious minded Black people who want the best for the Baltimore Black community should see it as opportunity and positive developments.

The narrative being spun by status quo reactionaries who historically are contra and anti the Black communities aspirations and development is: The Baltimore police force has a current hands off policing due to the effontery of the Black District Attorney indicting six of it's members for what the Baltimore police force has come to enjoy as business as usual practices; the terrorizing and summary executions of Black suspects, which resulted in the killing of Freddie Gray.

The more insidious narrative is: When the Baltimore Black community is not repressed with the impunity of heavy handed extra judicial policing criminality runs rampant.

Nevertheless the rampancy of criminality and regardless of its reason.  It, as I have indicted provides serious members of the Baltimore Black community with the opportunity to revise, rewrite and restructure the purported social-contract the Baltimore Black community has with the greater state of Maryland on those objective terms that advance the aspirations and development of the Baltimore Black community on it's own specific terms.  Because if the governing dynamic of the state of Maryland is unwilling and incapable of valuing and providing the necessary space for the full and all around development of the Baltimore Black Community then the state of Maryland has relatively relinquished any prospective compelling dictates it has on controlling the Baltimore Black community and as such the defacto relationship the governing imperative of the state of Maryland has with the Baltimore Black community is that of antagonistic dictatorship.

The Walk of Shame in Baseball, While the Victorious Pitcher Pauses Dismissively

What is worse in sports than the walk of shame back to the dug out after being struck out in Baseball and Softball.  The Character and personality of the pitcher's victim mercilessly revealed in glaring display for Man, Women and Child to observe either with pity or jubilation.

Opponents posterized in Basketball by spectacular plays either ridiculous dunks, blocks or shake and bake, ankle breaking dribbling are not humiliated as the Baseball player's walk of shame to the dug out after the debilitating third strike.

Tackle breaking runs and sensational circus like touchdown catches against against defenses in Football do not humiliate the defense as the singular walk of shame to the dug out with the  displayed of concealed look of stupidity on the victims face.

Neither are adroit dribbling in Soccer, deft puck handling in Hockey, back hand goal scoring flips in Lacrosse and cross court fore hands in Tennis abjectedly demoralizing on the opposition as that solitary naked walk to the dug out of the struck out vanquished hitter in Baseball.

The Boxing knockdown or knockout and submission in Wrestling and mixed Martial Arts contest are not humiliating but rather infuriating technical aspects of a Win.

Nothing in sports is humiliating as the Unitarian construct of the third strike in Baseball and it's walk of shame to the dug out, while Man, Women and Child bear witness to the mortality of the hitter protagonist, while the victorious pitcher pauses dismissively on the mound as a Matador with sword and cape awaiting another turf pawing brutish hitter.

Why CNN Anchor Don Lemon Is An Idiot, The American Economy and Value Speculation

On his 5/2/15; Show CNN Anchor don Lemon played explanatory narrative graphics on the American Economy and it's black and white disparity.  The explanatory narrative graphics was objective but a simplistic but correct illustration of the basic construct of an idea of the American Economy.

Then why CNN Anchor Don Lemon is an idiot reared it's silly head with his inane characterization that the explanatory narrative graphics and I paraphrase, isn't about politics, it isn't about right or left, this characterization presumption is exactly why CNN Anchor Don lemon is an idiot.

The narrative of the American Economy as any other economy is always political and politics.  It is about the Idealistic-Liberalism of the right and it's Republican-Conservatism and the materialist-common sense of the left and its Democrats-Progressive.

What Don Lemon for whatever reason ignores is the political difference between the right and left, Republican-Conservatism, it's Intellectual-Liberalism and the Democrats-Progressive, it's materialist-common sense is the how those elements depicted in his explanatory narrative graphics on the American Economy are understood and accounted for in the American Political-Economy.

The mistake that Don Lemon makes due to his idiocy and misunderstanding of what is politics and what is economics, with his ridiculous assertion that the narrative of American Economy isn't politically right or left ends up obfuscating the very reason, purpose and intent of his explanatory narrative graphics---because as I have shown the right and left of American politics are a result of the struggle between what is the correct narrative of the American Economy and it's idealistic deceptive distortions by a faction of society, specifically Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism that needs the idealistic deceptive distortion of  the narrative of the American Economy for existence as it pursues the economic exploitation of value speculation.

Republican and their allies, domestic and foreign have never passed up on the opportunity to label and claim Barack Obama incompetent and the worst President ever.

The problem with this critique is: it's idealistic and wrong.  It only reveals that Barack Obama has effectively resisted and thwarted their business as usual gambits by not being their flunky and lackey as Bill Clinton was during his Presidency.

Barack Obama by being a two term President has practically shown that a Democrat, Liberal and Progressive can take on and trounce the Sarah Palin narrative of American politics that's been peddled since Royalist and their Jim Crow brethren saw the sun set on the Union Jack and the Bars and Stars---and a Democrat doesn't have to acquiesce to the Walmart and Koch Brothers polemic to assume speculative-power as Bill Clinton pathetically did during his Presidency.

The Killing Of The Suspect Eric Harris By The 73yr. Old Reserve Cop Robert Bates Of Tulsa County, Oklahoma

The command "roll over on your Stomach" given by the Tulsa County, Oklahoma undercover cops during a drugs and guns sting operation which resulted in the killing of the suspect Eric Harris by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates, was in itself tactically flawed and wrong.

The suspect Eric Harris was shot and killed by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates under the pretext that the suspect Eric Harris, by allegedly refusing to roll over from his stomach could have had a weapon thus jeopardizing the safety of cops who were already on his back and neck.

But if the command given by cops who had subdued the suspect Eric Harris by being on his back and neck was specifically intended to neutralize threats posed by possible weapons under the suspects stomach, then telling the suspect Eric Harris to roll over on his back would have enabled and actualized the threat.

The only tactically correct thing those Tulsa County, Oklahoma sting operation cops could have done was maintain the suspect Eric Harris on his stomach, then grabbing his wrist pull his arms out.  Thereby absolutely neutralizing the supposed threat.

Arresting a suspect by police should not be experimental exercises subject to the practical limitations and moral suppositions of police.  Arresting authority and it's exercise is dictated by the United States Constitution, which is the only arbiter of acceptable national socialization.  So when the police practice cavalier as evidenced in the killing of the suspect Eric Harris by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates, the national socialization and the social-contract becomes a tyrannical practice, an unjust and idealistic proposition defined only by the resource of organized violence.

The killing of the suspect Eric Harris by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates is another ripple in the tyrannical practice of the national socialization and the social-contract as an unjust and idealistic proposition.

The contradictions that exist between the U.S. and it's external enemies on the base-criticism of cultural decadence, deviancy and immortality, is the identical contradiction that also exist nationally in the U.S, culture wars. Specifically, in it's anti-abortion and ant-gay rights formulations.

The contradictions existing between the U.S. and it's external enemies on the base-criticism of cultural decadence, deviancy and immorality is idealistically evident when on the one hand the external enemies of the U.S. chant "Death To America".While on the other hand do all that they can to acquire and avail theirself of the innovative, technological and infrastructural consequences of the U.S. culture.  The same culture the "Death To America" chanters deride as decadent, deviant and immoral.

So we find the same identical contradiction evidenced in the national culture wars, with Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism criticizing it's Liberal Democratic-Progressive opposition as culturally decadent, deviant and immoral while dupliciously utilizing and exploiting the innovation and technological infrastructure created by Liberal Democratic-Progressive culture.

The Stars and Bars doesn't fly over Silicon Valley.

Speech and The Emperor Has No Clothes

Logo used by Wikileaks (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

There was Wikileaks a romantic practioner of the type of speech that secrets of government should be availed to it's citizens.  Naturally government responded with it's organized violence and Wikileaks was suppressed.  In it's settling dust appeared the vitamin D deficient Eric Snowden and his type of speech, who laid bare governmental secrets and innards so purposefully naked that government's response was to dialectically proclaim it's naked innards as well garbed in homage to The Emperor Has No Clothes.

The Rich and Wealthy Accused, Money and A Jury's Suppositionary Bias

Contrary to popular belief and conventional acceptance, money or wealth does not get rich and wealthy accused out of legal jams.  But the suppositionary bias held by a jury about wealth and money is what enables, allows and permits the rich and wealthy accused to elude and evade convictions.

The argument will be made that this is a distinction without consequence because the basis for the jury's suppositionary bias is still the jury's assumption about money and wealth.

The counter and response is simple:  The rich and wealthy accused does not say to the jury "I should be acquitted because I'm rich and wealthy".  On the contrary the rich and wealthy accused downplays the ornate capricies of money and wealth and instead plays to the idealistic self-consciousness of the jury and it's suppositionary bias, because the rich and wealthy recognizes, the jury wants to be him.

It is lazy analysis to be critical of the double standard in the justice system by blaming the rich and wealthy.  When we should challenge the supremacy of suppositionary biases in our Political-Economy that allows the truly criminal to escape while punishing the hapless and desperate.

Stephen A. Smith, Karen Hunter, Crystal Wright and Van Jones Are Republican-Fifth Column Collaborators, Black American Politics and Django Unchained

To Those Black voices clamoring that Black people vote Republican because Democrats take the Black vote for granted are insidiously doing the Black community a disservice.

Look, if Stephen A. Smith, Karen Hunter, Crystal Wright and Van Jones to name a few of the Republican-Fifth Column collaborators are good intended in their political critique of Black America. The analysis would instead comprehensively identify that.

• Political power is an activity of economic stability and expression.
• Deterministic political expression is a local, state then lastly a national activity

What this means:  If Black people want affirmative politics and laws that reflect their specific interest, Black politics has to assert itself and dominate local politics, namely school boards,the courts, the police and sheriff departments, mayoral and county administrations.  Then Black America can be an organic force in state politics and only when this is stabilized will national or Presidential election be consequential.

But the afore-mentioned Republican-Fifth Column collaborators of Stephen A. Smith, Karen Hunter, Crystal Wright and Van Jones are not giving us this analysis.  They are instead demanding that if Black people have been stupid, voting Democrat then they should lose their mind and vote Republican.

The Black community isn't being told that without economic stability and it's expression whatever exercises in political activity are merely speculative indulgencies.  Because there isn't rhyme or reason to the political activity.  The meaning of economic stability and it's expression is : The Black community must be able to create jobs to support a viable critical mass of itself for itself.

The Political-Economy space occupied by Black America is specifically that of realizing money and wealth for the National Political-Economy.  Black America performs a retail consuming function in the National Political-Economy.  What this means is:  The Black American labor mass are employees at the mercy and biases of it's employers.  Also a sizable mass of the Black American labor mass realizes money in the underground activity of the National Political-Economy.  Therefore subject to the criminalizing dynamic of the larger society and this isn't a foundation upon which practical political expression for itself can be built on.

So when Stephen A. Smith, Karen Hunter, Crystal Wright and Van Jones to name a few of the Republican-Fifth Column collaborators clamor that Black people vote for Republican "Angel" you don't know at the expense of the Democrat "Devil" you do know-conveniently omitting that the impotence of Black American political activity is first and foremost, the question of economic stability and it's expression.

We have to ridicule and expose their effort and work as having the pathos and historical lackey-collaborator duty of Samuel L. Jackson's character in Quentin Tarantino's: Django Unchained.

Rush Limbaugh Philistine In Chief and Lynching Black People

Anyone who can find any agreeable hint of reason in Rush Limbaugh's recent comments on the chants of lynching Black People by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Fraternity chapter at the University of Oklahoma, that, were the chants of Lynching Black people lyrics to a Kanye West song, there wouldn't be this national uproar is either (1) insidiously dismissive of Black People and their American experience and or (2) an idiot

Conservatives and their idealistic reaction or which Rush Limbaugh is their Philistine in Chief confuse a salient point of Black American Experience and it's Black subjective.  The narrative isn't up for debate---the only national discussion on race is America is: What is to be done.

The 13th, 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and subsequent Civil Rights Acts are indicative that the national appetite for what is to be done on race relations is for dismantling it's antagonistic structure and destroying it's support imperatives, which has transformed the race issue as a national question to a specific-contradiction that is to be resolved within the parameters as all other social contradictions.  In this regard pronouncements by Rush Limbaugh Philistine in Chief as his recent comments on lynching Black people, as all things Republican-Conservatism, is exposed as thinly veiled bigotry.

The Obama Administration, Iran and National Speculative-Power

If the Republican-Conservative argument that the Obama Administration has enabled specifically Iran and it's nuclear pursuits and if nuanced, it is surmised that the Obama Administration doesn't see a nuclear Iran as a strategic and tactical threat, but it sees Iran as a political actor operating under the self preservation organic axiom.

Then the Republican-Conservative argument is a presumption that the Obama Administration is traitorous or more correctly and practically, the reality is the Obama Administration by it's Iran political stance is revealing and exposing that the three decades plus United States antagonistic Iran posture is purely idealistic.  A gambit designed to support a domestic polemic pursuing national-speculative-power.

The Texas Standard Of Knowing Right From Wrong and The Killings of Chad Littlefield and Chris Kyle

The Texas standard of knowing right from wrong during the commission of a crime as measure of mental illness and insanity.  Begs this: When has an insane right deed ever been done?  Where has it been claimed that an altruistic deed was done because one was mentally ill and insane---despite the fact that the insanity of idealistic suppositions defines the Human Condition of which the adage "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".  Has historically cautioned.

The Texas standard of knowing right from wrong during the commission of a crime as measure of mental illness and insanity, is in itself insane.  Because of it's one-dimensional construct and in the 21st century it ranks with the ignorance of bloodletting as distinction of insanity of the Human Condition.

The specific presupposition that doing right despite it's relativity and conditionality as being the purview of a healthy mind belies the obvious that the general narrative of the Human Condition is it's pervasive injustice and wrong doing.

The killings of Chad Littlefield and Chris Kyle by Eddie Ray Routh has once again highlighted the insanity of idealistic suppositions and knowing right from wrong.

Black And Latino News Anchors And Suppositionary-Neutral Reporting

Lets ridicule and denigrate every single Black and Latino news anchor across the nation who reads a teleprompter description of Black and Latino suspects of crime that reinforce and contribute to bigoted-racist suppositions.

News reporting and accounts of crime should be done minus the usual accompanying suppositions that reinforce and contribute to the racist narrative whether intentional or not.  It behooves those Black and Latino news anchors to report the news in that suppositionary-neutral manner that eliminates the racist narrative and we should hold those Black and Latino news anchor accountable by ridicule and denigration.

On The Apocalypse and The Religious Pathological Prediliction

Contrary to theologic suppositions the apocalypse or a apocalypse isn't about the transformation of earth to heaven where all cosmologic and metaphysical mysteries are unveiled and found to be a simple pining to be human and exist the Human Condition.

But the apocalypse is as all things religious, a pining and longing for a response to the injusticies  of the Human Condition.  A need to see injusticies by Man to fellow Man receive it's just comeuppance, which to quote the Third Reich-A final solution.  A once and for all annihilation and destruction of the totemic enablers of discriminatory and prejudicial suppositions, hypocricies and idealistic presumptions that crystalize into the injusticies of the Human Conditon.  The apocalypse is also religious sanctimony and it's pathological prediliction for criticism.

The objective-formulation of the apocalypse however is a Political-Economy expression, another construct that reminds us that we would rather bash each others brains in initially then realize we need brains to redeem the justness of our existence.

The Other 1% And Deficit Spending

The U.S. Department of Defense and it's military-industry cabal directly employs approximately 1% of the U.S. population or three million persons.  But it enables the wage earning ability of 10% or 30 million members of the U.S. population   and all of this expenditure is unrealized currency or deficit spending akin to the monopoly game when you pass go collect $200 disbursement.

The One-Dimensional Characterization Of Homicide As The Benchmark for Human Wrong Doing and Unaccountable Political-Economy

Lets stop using the one-dimensional characterization of homicide as the benchmark for human wrong doing.  Even the idealistic prohibition of the Judeo-Christian Ten Commandments doesn't rank homicide as the primary Thou shalt not...

We instead excuse away, make light of ignore all the other misdeeds of human activity that are torturously prolonged, inevitably homicidal, just as the one-dimensional characterization of homicide.

In 2008; The National Political_Economy.  Life savings, retirement, homes were lost. People were being laid off to the tune of 700,000 a month.  People died, a veritable economic homicide and lives were destroyed.  This Political-Economy cataclysm was the result of certain specific calculated act by individuals who are integral members of the status quo.

During the same period statistics of the one-dimensional characterization of homicide as the benchmark for human wrong doing clogged up the justice system while those individuals responsible for 2008; collapse of National Political-Economy and it's ensuing cataclysm and economic homicide not only maintained their status quo existence but the national public and society, victims of the National Political-Economy collapse, the veritable economic homicide didn't even understand the situation as being criminal, the quintessential benchmark of human wrong doing.

The new York City Police Department, epitomizes, as all other police jurisdictions across the nation, the practice of measuring it's social-duty and purpose by the after the fact arrest of murders at the expense of ignoring those instigating factors which are direct consequences of the impunitous inequities of the National Political-Economy so for example the ruinous realities of the 2008; Political-Economy cataclysm can happen and the New York City Police Department can with a straight face claim it's policing practices has decreased homicides and this claim assumes convention because society has come to idealistically accept that the benchmark of human wrong doing is homicide while the quintessential human wrong doing which is an accountable Political-Economy is left to determine the totality of the Human Condition and it's activity.
