Notes on the "Miracle on the Hudson"

• Why has the fact that the design of the Airbus plane enabled and allowed the "Miracle on the Hudson' to happen been ignored?
• Is the "Miracle on the Hudson" Mayor Michael Bloomburg's 9-11 and will we hereforever have to be subjected to the Gulianization of social heroics?
• Isn't "Sully" Sullenburger, the pilot of the Airbus plane involved in the "Miracle on the Hudson" participating a bit too eagerly in the mythicizing of what is his duty as a pilot?
• Has the human condition become that jaded that over stating phenomenon is now the operative of miracles? When technology and it's design objectifies it's ideal?

John McCain and The Has Been Syndrome

John McCain's antics over Barack Obama's Economic Stimulus Plan is akin to the scorned wife needling the exposed mistress.

John McCain lost the election to Barack Obama making the same reactionary arguments and his insistence at attempting to rehash the campaign debates which he defacto lost is plain old obstructionism. John McCain's ravings are of the has been syndrome of delusionary relevance and it is quite a spectacle to experience John McCain groveling at it's alter.

Names, Barack and Conventional Familiarity

Absentmindedly watching one of the botton-feeder interactive shows. I over heard a childs name, Nanceo and the mothers explanation that it was a made up name based on her mothers, Nancy.

So I reflected on conventional names and their original odd-sounding discordance. I carried the thought further to what will soon be familiar. The many variations and derivatives of the name Barack.

For starters: Baracky, Baracko, Baracka, Barackson, Barackevich and it's feminization Barackina, Barackanya soon will taste apple-pie familiar.

The Grass root Dialectic and The Obama Operative of Political-Economy Efficiency

Where is the grass root dialectic and it's progressive narrative in seizing the definitions and polemical thrust that will enable the Obama operative of Political-Economy efficiency? Because this sham Republican criticism, where money can be defined as stimulus, only if it is a tax cut and spending if it is program and employment specific has to be unequivocally denounced.

If 90% of the Obama Stimulus Package was devoted to no bid Haliburton contracts, the Republican Caucus and it's illiteracy would be in orgasmic throes! Well the Obama operative of Political-Economy efficiency has to combat this Republican deviancy unconditionally and the "Yes We Can" grass root chorus and it's dialectic must grid it's rank and file, unfurl the banners. What is struggle?

The Bush Adminisration and Consequences

The question of investigating the Bush Administration should conclude with opening the can of worms of Congressional malfeasance. Because both Republicans and Democrats charged with upholding the Constitution and it's separation of powers were also criminally negligent in ensuring that the business of the American people happened as if, consequences were understood.

Whoopi Goldberg, NBC and the PETA Superbowl Ad

The Women of the daytime show, The View, led by Whoopi Goldberg on 1/28/09; ridiculed the NBC rejected PETA Superbowl Ad and it's vegetable themed erotica, that vegetarians have better sex.

Well there is an Ad running on network television that blatantly advocates paedophilia and Whoopi Goldberg and the Women of The View in their infinite wisdom haven't seen fit to castigate.

The Ad, a phone plan Ad, has a barely adolescent girl, clearly underage suggesting forlornness for her mustachioed, Mustang driving boyfriend named Derrick.

The reckless of this Derrick Ad epitomizes all that morally deviant, yet The View in it's surrogate moral cop role opportunistically ignores it to lambast the adult theme of a perfectly justified PETA Ad.

Bill Cosby, The Black American Experience and Peddling Jello

Bill Cosby rants diatribic Ebonics, yet it's slangz make billions, the infrastructural base of the global cultural economy.

Money gave Bill Cosby the voice to naively criticize.

Bill Cosby said the dirty laundry of the Black American Experience spills out onto urban streets at 2:30 P.M. shaking like the Jello he once made buffoon faces, Bojangles like selling.

Bill Cosby pronounces he can fiat like criticize because he puts his money where his mouth is with donations to the Black Colleges. But the question remains, upon graduation, employment is upon the goodwill whimsy of those very same faces Bill Cosby had to make faces peddling Jello to.

Timothy Geithner, Rhodesia and the Colonial Heritage

Timothy F. Geithner, Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs from 1999-2001 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

What was Timothy Geithner thinking, what was he suggesting when he referred to Zimbabwe with it's Colonial moniker, Rhodesia during his swearing-in ceremony on 1/25/09?

Timothy Geithner's affection for the Colonial moniker, Rhodesia and I take it the attendant exploitation and misery for it's Colonial subjects meshes with and will serve him well in his new found position as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.

The obvious disrespect for Barack Obama, the First Black American President and his Colonial heritage was evident because Timothy Geithner with elitist-snide eccentricity was oblivious to Obama's presence, besides him as he paid homage to his British past masters and their Rhodesian Colonial paradigm---which ironically the Obama dialectic on a level negates.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Sky News, Cecil Rhodes and White phospherous

Where is the outrage against the recent decisions of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Sky News, not to broadcast a fundraising for occupied Palestine-Gaza Palestinians?

Denying and depriving simple humanitarian help to Palestinian human beings of Gaza, mocks whatever claim British culture through the BBC and Sky News has on humanness.
But then with the Cecil Rhodes endowment a source of British National Pride, it's source and origin unquestioned nor denounced. What is disdain for victims of white phosphorous bombing?

The Obama Presidency and Speculative Value

The opportunity the Obama Presidency presents is a simple one. It enables the necessary environment for struggle against the Colonial-Paradigm of speculative value.

Progressives and Reformers cannot however rest on the anticipation that Obama Presidency in and of itself annihilates reaction and it's Colonial-Paradigm of speculative value. Instead there has to be a vigorous education of the working class to the antagonism of the fraudulent taxation argument, which contrary to the home mortgage scape-goat is at the root of the economic depression.

Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State

Hillary Clinton could have easily been the 44th President of the United States and the funding dynamics of her husband Bill Clinton's charity, The Clinton Global Initiative. Would not have been a liability. So why is it a liability for her Secretary of State position?

This debate over perceptions of conflict of interest and influence peddling with Hillary Clinton's Secretary of State position is farcially complicit and those well fed, shiny faced Senators and their salon.com fifth column, know it.

Criminal malfeasance happened during the Bush Presidency and it's newfound polemical vigor against Hillary Clinton's Secretary of State position should have been expressed against everything George W. Bush and his 8 years. Eight years that anticipates historical revision for it's validity.

The Robbie Tolan Incident and Policing America

New Year's Eve, December 31, 2008; for Robbie Tolan went out with the literal bang and smell of gun powder of a police fired 45 caliber bullet in to his chest. (Acknowledgments to chron.com, for pic. gallery)Robbie Tolan, a 23 year old Black Man from the Bellaire section of Houston Texas was held against his will by Houston Police, tried and convicted by Houston Police and was subsequently given the summary sanction of a 45 caliber bullet into his chest by Houston Police.

During the closing weeks of December 2008; protesters in Greece torched and burned major portions of the Nation, because Greek Police had held a Greek 15 year old teenager against his will, summarily tried and convicted the youth and executed him.



Greeks and those protesting Greeks declared with their anarchic political action that the American style of policing where trained and lethally armed officers summarily assault and execute suspects under the cover of "Standard Operating Procedure" and it's attendent historical racist dynamic, where the status quo in it's rabid fear of class warfare requires the Facist dialectic wasn't welcome in Greece.

The Robbie Tolan incident requires that the American working class apply the slogan: One Word, One Response, One Solution, Accountability in Policing in America.

The State of Israel, The Palestinian Nation, Classic Land Seizure and the Contradiction of the Chosen People

The United State lays claim to being the greatest historical nation and the State of Israel claims chosen people as justification for existence. Yet both states have presided and been principal actors in what, if the idealistic and fearful view is taken, is simply an intractable "fact on the ground" as definition of the injustice done to the Palestinians and Palestinian Nation.

I could go all into the ridiculous nuances used in defense of Israel's claim to the Palestinian Nation. Nuances that mock the claimed pre-eminence of both the United States and Israel. The fact however is Israel and it's supporters have been struggling to defend a scale of injustice that was common practice of a by gone era and historical suppositions. That classic period of land seizure and European Colonialism, from Africa, the Americas to Southern Asia. Seizure of land was a fact of the human condition.

Israel came late to the land seizure game. Therein lies the objective failure of it's anticipation.

Israel, as a Jewish State imposed on the Palestinian Nation is doomed to failure for all sorts of infinite reasons. Regardless of narrative-sophistry, the resolution of the Israeli and Palestinian question lies with the simple recognition that it has two parts. Which are religious and secondly political.

The first part requires the recognition that Judaism lays claim to a historical point on earth. Just as Vatican City does in Italy and Mecca does in Arabia. This geographical point is only defensible when viewed apolitically.

The second part is the simple question of displaced persons allowed into United Nations mandate territory, which was the state of pre-Israel, British Palestine.

Recognizing Judaisms claim to a specific geographical point comparable to the Vatican City and Mecca and a revised recognition of the Palestinian nation that now holds within it's border's displaced and persecuted Europeans is the only objective resolution of the Palestinian question without the delusionary anticipations of Armageddon and the contradiction of the chosen people.

Reconsruction, Slavery and the Amorality of Economics

The era reconstruction in U.S. history was first and foremost a Black one. It was about the destruction of slavery and it's vestiges and laying the foundation for former Black slaves realized access as positive political and social beings. [I'm not using positive in a good or bad context, but rather in a progressive, forward moving one] so the styming and destruction of gains during reconstruction in the south was essentially the reluctance to see Black people as political and social beings in the positive sense. The Dred Scott case was a precursor.

I say nothing about economical beings because contextually economics is of neither persuasion. There is not diametrically opposed values in economics. One can argue that if one is a slave, meaning in the performance of some sort of economical duty for another without remuneration, then it has to be a negative consequence on the slave and that would be correct. But the emphasis is on consequence. Consequence conditionalizes the nature of the duty in a purely subjective way. It gives it a relative value which is either positive or negative in the political and social sense -- and it is only in the political and social sense that the consequence of economics realized. A slave creates wealth without controlling it. Why is the slave unable to control it? Because of the politics and social structures which define the valuation nature of the produced wealth. This is the amorality of economics.

A quick example. Government in the form of Police seize a drug dealers assets. Assets which as defined by government is ill-gotten. So what is done? Are the assets simply destroyed? Does government say well the money is blood money! Its destroyed many lives so lets destroy it? On the contrary, instead government uses it, government appropriates the assets, and give it a revised political and social value.

This is the crux of the debate with idealism and it's inability in recognizing the inherent amorality of economics.

Barack Obama, The Gay Community and Rick Warren

The Gay Community is tactically miscalculating in characterizing the Rick Warren flap as some sort of cataclysmic or seismic event with Barack Obama.

The Gay Community has been in a lot of ways idealistic in it's militancy. For whatever it is worth, those members of the Gay community who rant blue in the face over Rick Warren question have to seize the Polemical advantage the Rick Warren contradiction presents and exploit it, contrasting it's heresy with political naivete.

there isn't any sensibilities in the positioning of narratives and if the Gay community is to drag reaction squealing and clawing into the progress of the human condition it's militancy has to understand that.
