The Rich don't want want capitalism. Capitalism would mean their collapse. The rich want fascism, they will call thier system capitalism if it's politically expedient, they will call it socialism if the occasion calls for it, heck they will even call it communism if the circumstances warrant it. It is none of these things but fascism. They are paradigm pirates.

Also note his picture was taken at a CFR event. There has never existed a circle of more murderers and thieves in the world than the council on foreign relations. Before I became politically aware I had the oppurtunity to meet many of the vile creatures that work there. It would chill your blood if you knew how those people really thought.

Pretty much everyone who works national security/ foreign relations works there as a fellow, including candidates on both sides of the aisle (I know at least Clinton and Gates were fellows, I don't know about Obama though I'd imagine as President he must've been and if not he is now). This is an indict at the political system as a whole.

Correct the CFR is the man behind the curtain. It worries me that have become so visible of late. They used to take some care to hide themselves from the public. Now you can catch them having press releases on c-span.

Usually cockroaches scatter in light, however this particular species seems to have adapted. They even had an article on thier site about why nations need to give up thier soveriegnity to fight global warming and global terrorism. Talk about showing your cards.

For comparison (and consequent shits & giggles) here is a link to the ‘real’ capitalist ‘manifesto’:

"Human Action"

Let Us Consider the NYU Twerps

So you attempt to assert control and make some positive change to what you know and can conceivably handle—and if you're these kids, you do it like an asshole, with a nonsensical list of utopian goals that'd make an ANSWR organizer blush. (Gaza needs overhead projectors!) Anyone with any sense in their damn heads knows New York University is Not the Enemy, or at least not the enemy of Gaza and The Working Man. It's the enemy of New York, in a kinda blinkered nostalgic sense, but their demands, oddly, do not include "stop fucking with Washington Square and give back all your real estate to people who actually want to live here for serious and maybe re-open The Bottom Line."
It is a ridiculous Ponzi scheme, the tuitions at NYU that rise to bizarre and unconscionable levels, the paltry financial aid, and the adjunct wage-slaves, but the costs rise due to demand and the demand in this case is that all you little idiot Trotskyites wanted to go to the same school as fucking Felicity. (And hey, at least when New School kids have sit-ins they're protesting an actual war criminal.)
And while student activism in decades past was at least defensible as going after one pillar of establishment power, academia in 2009 is just a finishing school for rich kids and a playground for people who'd really like to spend their professional careers wrestling with the least important but most dramatic office politics in the world, so they can someday net that $300k salary and the reduced mortgage, only to get shit on by Politco and the rest of the world for making a living with their book-learnin' elitism.
So our advice to these kids is to go have a fucking cigarette and then Drop Out. Tell your parents to put the tuition money in a trust fund so you can continue living the life to which you were born accustomed as you volunteer to build some fucking houses somewhere, and then when that runs out why not get your degree at CUNY or something so you can sleep better at night.

Direct Action: Revolution Strikes the NYU Food Court!

Image via Wikipedia

Not to alarm you sheep out there as you go about your bourgeois activities this morning, but you should be aware that that the NYU student center food court has been occupied by revolutionaries!!

Brothers and sisters of the proletariat, you must at this very moment drop your bacon egg and cheese wraps and rush down to the Marketplace at Kimmel Center, where a dashing group of Zapata-like freedom fighters has seized control of everything from the Yolato frozen yogurt stand to Cafe Spice's spicy Thai cuisine area. The group of attractive young sexually available rebels is called Take Back NYU!

Back in the ИSSR

Trouble in pranksta's paradise, as the ‘movement’ continues its melodramatic pow-wow for power. From comments on the bloap opera:

[RSU blogger]: "Let us celebrate our significant victory and join in building a student movement capable of being a catalyst for the type of change that our society needs. Education, protests, occupations, and strikes – we must do whatever we can to build a movement and take back our university."

[integrated]: Build the PARTY! I mean, movement! Yes, towards the consolidation of power into the MOVEMENT! Anything for the MOVEMENT! only the MOVEMENT can act! All praise the glorious MOVEMENT!

You don't need to lie to get things done. Movements, in the way you know them, are dead; future struggles will grind their gravestones into rocks for the insurrections to come.

Apparently, there is a rift between the Radical Student Union and the professional protesters who actually planned and guided this occupation, with the former scrambling to be relevant and to gather the sloppy seconds of vainglorious spin.

Nader Exposed as a Racist on National TV

By Shepard Smith of all people. Officially the weirdest thing I've seen on TV, precisely ever.
