Balderdashing Education Bashing

2009-11-14

by John Kozy: When Calvin Coolidge said "The business of America is business," he and very few if any others knew just how deep this sentiment would sink into the American consciousness. Now it seems apparent that the way business thinks has muscled every other kind of thought process out of the American mind. The unfortunate result is that if no business solution exists to an American ailment, it festers into an incurable American disease.

Killer Country

2009-11-10

by John Kozy: Oh, the wailing, weeping, and gnashing of teeth over last week's killings at Fort Hood!a tragic instance of what Americans call an "isolated" event that happens almost daily. America is a killing field! It has been for a very long time. Historically, the oppressed have killed their oppressors. In America the oppressed kill each other. American politicians claim that America is the free-world's leader. But what other country would want to follow America down this road? (Perhaps the stupid British from whom we acquired the roots of this vultureoops!, culture.) It is noteworthy that since 1789, approximately 70 nations have become democratic, but not a single one has copied the American model. Whom are we leading where? Perhaps only ourselves to perdition.

Are Settled Class Action Suits Scams?

2009-11-05

by John Kozy: If you are thinking about filing a class action suit, find an attorney who understands that if s/he is unable to negotiate a substantial award for each member of the settlement class, that you will insist that the suit be taken to trial; otherwise, you are merely involving yourself in a lawyerly boondoggle in which the lawyers will use your misery to enrich themselves. If your lawyer is not going to get you and your colleagues substantial awards, at least make sure that s/he does not get any either.

Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest in Higher Education

2009-10-23

by John Kozy: As an elderly, former university professor, I am deeply anguished whenever I come across shameful academic writing. Such writing not only exposes the inability of the writer but it exhibits the extent of decline in American university teaching and is a symptom of a decadent civilization. Institutions that employ these writers have abandoned the classical educational ideals of truth, goodness, and beauty for belief, greed, and exploitation. And not only Americans but the whole world is paying a horrid price for it.

Nobel? That's No Prize

2009-10-22

by John Kozy: Excellent journalism was never a priority of Joseph Pulitzer's, and the prizes reflect it. So does the mainstream press which is yellower than ever in both the conventional journalistic sense and the colloquial sense of cowardly. Even worse, however, are the Nobels. They are almost always given to those committed to Western civilization and Capitalism. So now Obama has gotten the prize. Why was it awarded to him? Because he is a protector of the economic status quo and a hegemonista true child of a decadent civilization. The deadly arms manufacturer would be highly pleased.

Mortgage Anyone?

2009-09-30

by John Kozy: Why are the standard terms for mortgages 15 and 30 years? Could it be because downturns in the American economy have occurred on an average of once every 14.5 years? When a buyer defaults on a loan after paying on it for 14 years, the lender gets the house for free, sells it again, and nets a small fortune or an investment of zero. Wouldn't you like to find a way of doing that?

9/11 and "War on Terror": Politicians Are Clever - People Are the Problem

2009-09-15

by Edu Montesanti Goldoni: Taking into account the unsuccessful 9/11 Commission and the disastrous "War on Terror" aftermath, it is clear that there is a side totally wrong and isolated from the real debate on world terrorism. Far from us having the only answer and being able to close the debate, we analyze the reality inside Afghanistan and find two alternatives to understand what the world is witnessing on "fight on terror". Feel free to choose one option

Everywhere Arms Races

2009-09-12

by John Kozy: Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and President Obama claim that both North Korea and Iran must be prevented from developing nuclear capabilities to prevent arms races in North East Asia and the Near East. But the United States of America began the international nuclear arms race more than sixty years ago and has never taken the task of eliminating nuclear weapons seriously. So yes, as ye sow, so shall ye reap! Why should anyone expect otherwise.

Michael Jackson Memorial Day

2009-07-08

by John Kozy: Michael Jackson had no peace in life, and it is unlikely that the media will allow him to rest in peace in death. Hell hath no pain greater than that which can be inflicted by media moguls whose only goal is to turn tragedy into orgies of entertainment. This media now feigns honor, but the authentic honor comes only from his fans who displayed true civility and profound humanity during his memorial service, proving once again that true virtue lies only within the hearts of common people.

Do Not Believe The Pundits On Chinas Century

Lawmakers Billing Taxpayers

2009-07-05

by John Kozy: The Congress enacts legislation for itself which provides itself with what are essentially employee benefits. So it treats its members as employees of themselves.

2009-06-22

by Edu Montesanti Goldoni: Malalai Joya granted an outspoken interview to a Brazilian website, giving explosive revelations on US occupation in Afghanistan, totally cut and shamefully modified by the reporter. Bad luck to world mafia: Ms. Joya sent us, exclusively, the original version. We publish "both interviews" here, and analyse how works the tendentious media, down on its knees before this mockery of war on terror. The more time goes by, the more clearly we see the puppets in the Empire. Prepare yourself to cry. Prepare yourself to vomit with us

A Flower Sprouts Among Stones in Afghanistan

2009-05-18

by Edu Montesanti Goldoni: Is there any hope to Afghanistan? Yes, there is! In the country of the Taliban and so feared warlords, the Afghan hope lies on its combatant men, and on its several brave women. To them our admiration, solidarity and prayer; to Malalai Joya our following words of love - just because she has been giving her life away, after being expelled from the Afghan Parliament for denouncing the warlords - drug traffickers. Joya will never be killed, and her voice will be forever the voice of her people
