A lot of Japanese don't have time to eat vegetables, thus have been designed for these too-busy-people, pills that do are vegetables in small. Is that life anymore ?

We are already in the acute phase of a period of economic crisis, monetary and financial explosive on a global scale, such as the one that led the financial transatlantic cartel of the time to create   more...the Bank for International Settlements in Basel and its "The cartel obligations".

Each time the modern world has been grappling with the threat of a general disintegration of the international monetary and financial system in place, as is the case today, there has been a cascade of phenomena such as falls Governments, revolutions, the rise of fascist regimes and wars. That was the history of continental Europe, the Soviet border to Gibraltar, during the rise to power of fascist regimes of 1922-1945 in most countries.

The fact that the Fed has intervened by providing tens of billions of dollars (or more) to save Bear Stearns is criminal at first sight. According to existing laws, this is probably a case of money laundering.

That is the fundamental nature of the strategic threat that weighs on our republic today and other nations.  less

Emmanuel Goldstein's book, The Theory and Practice Of Oligarchical Collectivism, is a fictional book which is an important element in both the plot and the overall theme of George Orwell's dystopian novel   more...Nineteen Eighty-Four, first published in 1949.

Orwell's novel describes a totalitarian society ruled by the all-powerful Party. Emmanuel Goldstein figures in state propaganda as the chief enemy of the state — a former Party member who conspires against the "wise" leadership of Big Brother. Early in the novel, Orwell introduces the concept of the book supposedly written by Goldstein: "There were...whispered stories of a terrible book, a compendium of all the heresies, of which Goldstein was the author and which circulated clandestinely here and there. It was a book without a title. People referred to it, if at all, simply as The Book." In the text of the novel, The Book is usually written in italics, although there are exceptions such as occurs in the Signet Classic Centennial Edition print of Nineteen Eighty-Four, where The Book is simply in a different font.

A heavy black volume, amateurishly bound, with no name or title on the cover. The print also looked slightly irregular. The pages were worn at the edges, and fell apart easily, as though the book had passed through many hands. The inscription on the title-page ran:
THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF
OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM
by
Emmanuel Goldstein

The protagonist of Nineteen Eighty-Four, Winston Smith, secretly hates the Party and Big Brother. Eventually he approaches Inner Party member O'Brien, thinking that he is part of Goldstein's conspiracy against the state, and at first it appears that O'Brien is indeed a member of the legendary "Brotherhood" opposing Big Brother. With O'Brien's help, Winston gets a copy of Goldstein's illegal tome, which according to O'Brien exposes the true nature of the totalitarian society created by the Party. It is required reading to become a full member of the Brotherhood.

The true title of Goldstein's book turns out to be The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism (Oligarchical collectivism is the correct political name, created by Orwell, for Ingsoc. It does not appear anywhere else in the book.). More than one tenth of the text of Orwell's novel is devoted to reproducing verbatim two long excerpts from The Book, as read by Winston Smith. Here Orwell sets out the back-story of the entire novel. "Goldstein" explains how the totalitarian state of Oceania, as well as its rival superstates Eurasia and Eastasia, came into being. This bridges the present of the original readers of the novel (the late forties) with the dystopian future world of 1984.

More importantly, "Goldstein" explains the political philosophy on which the totalitarian superstates are based. Since it is described as growing out of the authoritarian tendencies that manifested in the first part of the twentieth century, this part of the novel is actually Orwell's attempt at showing where the world of his present could be heading, if totalitarianism were allowed to continue developing towards its logical endpoint.  less

This is a second interview Frank Zappa did on the now cancelled Crossfire back in ‘87. He was arguing against the ridiculous censorship movement pioneered by the PMRC that was going on at that time.

Q:   more...It’s called truth in packaging, it’s a simple concept.

Zappa: Yea, but it’s bogus. You know it’s bogus and everybody watching this show knows it’s bogus. There is no problem here. There is no need for this organization. It’s all fake.—First of all the government does not belong in the home. The government does not belong in the bedroom.

Does it remind you of anything? Frank just rakes these people under the coals with his well thought out and very simple logic.  less
