Lessons in the Hegelian Dialectic: Sarah Palin versus Ezekiel Emanuel

Lessons in the Hegelian Dialectic:
Sarah Palin versus Ezekiel Emanuel

The Hegelian Dialectic is the ideological blueprint for manipulating people into fighting over issues. Skillful use of Hegelian tactics is a requirement for all modern politicians. The ultimate goal of every major political player in the game right now is to weaken both sides of every argument, so that a "middle ground" for the "common good" can be formed between them. This is the simple formula for tricking the world into accepting a totalitarian central government. It's happening in every country on the planet.

When Betsy M published her article called "Deadly Doctors," she sure opened a big can of political worms. She identified the philosophy of Obama's new health advisor, Ezekiel Emanuel as "communitarianism." The problem is, the gods of globalism are still not ready to explain their new philosophy to the American people. Americans are much more effective if they continue to believe their sides still exist and keep the great political divides alive. Awareness of the emerging synthesis of all ideologies (called communitarianism) is reserved for insiders. To become an insider one must agree to go along with the big lie, for as long as the lie remains necessary. Once the world has completely adopted supremacy of communitarian law, the truth about the system won't matter much, because the communitarian police will have community enforcement authority over every individual in the world.

The American public is just not ready to be told the truth about the real philosophy driving all new changes to US law. Citizens age 50 and beyond may never be told. Communitarians insist all nations must be eliminated and that would upset the people who still think the US Constitution and their state constitutions are valid legal contracts. So the former Lt governor of the state of New York provided way more information than the Americans need to know. Something radical had to be done quickly to drive the topic back into obscurity. Just as hundreds of Americans started asking what the heck communitarianism is, the global scriptwriters made major changes to the book. Enter Sarah Palin, stage right.

On the surface it certainly appears that Sarah Palin and Barack Obama's Health advisor, Ezekiel Emanuel, are on "opposite" sides. Sarah clearly represents the fundamentalist Christian Republican Right, while Obama and Zeke obviously represent the open-minded non-denominational Democratic Left. Their millions of followers on both sides are totally convinced the "other" side are the bad guys and their own side is the good guys. This belief in their superior side means they never have to study the other side, or God forbid, to wonder what the outcome of all this fighting may be. Like mad dogs trained to fight in the arena, true believers go for the jugular veins of their opponents without a second thought as to why.

Sarah Palin proved her worth to the communitarians when she entered the national political scene as John McCains' Republican running mate. They made her a star in the best horror soap opera ever written. It might look like they plan to kill her off, but rest assured, they'll bring her back whenever they need her to keep the story line alive. And right now, they need her. Upon entering the staged presidential campaign in a whirlwind of exposure, Palin made an easy target of herself and successfully fueled the inflated egos of every deluded Republican and Democrat in the country. All it took to keep (nonexistent) American attention away from any possible awareness of Obama's communitarian philosophy was to bring a superstar like Palin into the campaign. And all it took to steer (possible) attention away from Emanuel's exposed communitarian philosophy was to bring Palin into the "debate."

Now the debate is between the most uneducated politician on the national scene and the "esteemed" bioethics professor who cares about people. Their most dumbed down followers argue over who's the nicer, more credentialed player. Communitarian agents scour the Internet forums and steer any discussion of communitarianism back to outdated (and now discarded) left and right theories. The substance of the debate never became centered on the actual and verifiable philosophy that drives the National Healthcare agenda. The only political argument allowed is between the left and the right (just as the only religious debate allowed is between the Christians and the Muslims). These phony, misleading debates are led by second grade bully's who won't acknowledge communitarianism until their teachers make them write it a hundred times on the blackboard. When the American followers are finally told that communitarianism is their new political and justice system, their assigned Borg leaders will make sure everyone reaches consensus and agrees that it's a "good" thing.

Hegelians don't care what the issues are. Neither do they care which "side" they are perceived to be on. Their role is to be a barrier to any authentic political discourse that may arise from thinking people. Hegelians do not think for themselves, they follow orders. They repeat words that have no meaning to them, throw around words they cannot define and have no interest in defining. When asked directly what they mean by a particular word, they always respond with "what do you mean what do I mean?" as if you're just too stupid to be answered. Most followers haven't got the first clue what livability, health and safety, and quality of life means. They build "good communities" and only stupid people ask them what they mean by good.

Appealing mainly to the egotistical and self-centered, the Hegelians promote the idea that they and their followers are superior to the common man in every way. Born again Hegelians may not be able to tell us who they follow, but they will always insist their ideas are more "enlightened" than common folks. Over educated, upper academic Hegelians believe God told Hegel the only reasonable future society is a friendly, caring, global police state. Uneducated Hegelians don't even know they're Hegelians.

All unenlightened sheep are to be kept locked inside very publicized dialectical conflicts of opposites. Only the unseen, enlightened few understand the actual goal of all the conflicts. The most useful idiots are the ones who believe their side is the side that cares oh so much more about "people" than the other side. Completely brainwashed Hegelian thinkers go so far as to believe they are born smarter than the other side, with many convinced they were chosen by God himself to rule over all of mankind, forever. Taught to use any stupid argument at their disposal that enrages their assigned opposite "side," their job is to fuel established conflicts and say anything they want, as long as it keeps the masses distracted.

The more outrageous their behaviors, the more outrageous the response is from their gullible public followers. This is why hateful slurs, mocking, sneering, racial insults, un-humorous "jokes," accusations, slander and Godlike condemnations are such a big part of our national political discourse. Like Hegel taught the leaders of the emerging supranational system, ideological conflicts that grow into violent clashes between huge groups of people are the best way to "help" save the world. Follower's on both sides of every conflict use the same, tired arguments because both sides follow the same Hegelian playbook. To the Man, Straw Man, Wag the Dog or fists and guns... they do whatever it takes.

It's not an accident that every rebuttal I get to my articles on communitarianism insist it's an insignificant term that means nothing. I actually just got new comments on my blog that explained the "difference" between liberals and socialists. and never mentions the word communitarian once! The debate between communitarianism and US constitutional law will never reach the public until it's completely over. First we all have to come together for a purpose greater than self. Then we can all rise together in perfect harmony, or we can fall into the pits with the others who refuse to be "free."

Palin Sidetracks Scrutiny of Obama's Communitarian Plan

Palin Sidetracks Scrutiny of Obama's Communitarian Plan

Yes, President Obama is a socialist. He's a free trade communist. He's a free trade capitalist, too. He's Christian, he's Muslim, he cares about people and he has lots of hope. Obama is all of this, and much, much more. Obama knows that all opposing economic, religious and social theories were finally resolved in one perfect solution, called communitarianism.

"Fortunately, many, including many liberals, have come to view as mistaken a liberalism with such a strong principle of neutrality and avoidance of public discussion of the good. Some think the change a result of the critique provided by communitarianism; others see it as a clarification of basic liberal philosophy. Regardless, a refined view has emerged that begins to create an overlap between liberalism and communitarianism." http://defsi.typepad.com/deafening_silence/2009/08/under-the-skin-of-health-care-reform-dr-ezekiel-emanuel-in-his-own-words-pt-2.html

The communitarian theory of Community Rights is shared by every appointee in Obama's administration. From his Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske (who created the COMPASS database when he was a Grants Director at COPS) to his new Health care advisor (Zeke Emanuel, who advises we withhold medical care from citizens unable to "participate"), the Obama administration follows the Clinton and Bush leadership into merging the former United States under a global justice system rejecting US constitutional supremacy in favor of the supremacy of Communitarian Law.

"Emanuel's thesis adviser at Harvard was Prof. Michael Sandel, a noted communitarian who has argued that our political debates bracket gut-level values to our detriment. Emanuel writes in the tradition of a communaritan who believes that procedural liberalism -- the reigning philosophy of government today -- does not allow for priorities among health care services because it "cannot appeal to a conception of the good." Emanuel writes: "But without appealing to a conception of the good, it is argued, we can never establish priorities among health care services and define basic medical services." Emanuel sketches out a "civic Republicanism" telos -- that is -- our health care decisions as a society should be yoked to a system that "promote[s] the continuation of the polity-those that ensure healthy future generations, ensure development of practical reasoning skills, and ensure full and active participation by citizens in public deliberations-are to be socially guaranteed as basic." He notes that such a system would deny "services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens." " http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/08/the_death_panel.php

The "change" Obama promised to bring to America is entirely based in his expert, high level training in communitarian thinking. Communitarianism, like communism, socialism and capitalism, has a history and a philosophy that can be verified by a second grader. A simple google search for the word "communitarian" produces millions of returns. With more mainstream and credible sources describing the Obama administration as communitarian every day now, you'd think the Americans would be all over it and wanting to know more. Every day I do see a few more who are interested and studying it, but, (and especially since Palin jumped in) for the most part, Americans are not even considering it. They ignore it at their national peril.

This isn't the International Jewish Banker's theory or the Illuminatti and Alien agendas, although many would hope that you think it is, just so that they can easily discount you and laugh at your racism, ignorance and gullibility. The Communitarian Philosophy is well documented in upper academia and insider news reports since 1990, it's the topic of numerous grad school programs and international legal seminars; it's just not often discussed in view of the "unwashed masses." They have a Communitarian Network at George Washington University in D.C. They have extremely well connected leaders and mentors, like Dr. Amitai Etzioni, MaryAnn Glendon and Dr. John McNight, as well as an entire active network of Community activists (including Michelle and Barack Obama). The Communitarian Network published a Platform, it's signed by real people (some of the names you may even recognize) and they've published thousands of documents about their agenda. Dr. Etzioni isn't called a "guru" and the "everything expert" because he wrote one or two unread, obscure books. His latest book, "Security First" is quoted as an expert source in daily Pentagon briefings (and I still think I should get daily Pentagon briefings too, since I am the one who alerted a Pentagon intelligence analyst to Etzioni's Palmach terrorist ties to the Israeli Defense Force. As of June 2008, Etzioni was not even in the US Army's database of known international terrorists operating inside the USA!).

It should come as no surprise that the Communitarian Update #36 begins thus:

"The first ever workshop on bioethics from a communitarian perspective will take place at George Washington University on 6/5/2001. Papers by Ezekiel Emmanuel (A Communitarian Perspective on Research), Mark Kuczewski (Organ Donation and the Common Good), Leonard Fleck (A Communitarian Perspective on Health Resource Allocation), and Eric Meslin (Human Cloning). Participation is by invitation only. Send nominations to Joanna Cohn at comnet@gwu.edu with "bioethics" in the subject line." http://www.gwu.edu/~ccps/communitarian_update_n36.html

In Europe, the terms for communitarian legal supremacy over national courts and political systems exists in thousands of EU documents, national integration departmental procedures and established free trade (WTO) case law. To say there is no evidence for communitarianism or that the theory is benign or ineffective is a lie of epic proportions. The reason the Anti Communitarian League website grew to become such a huge research site is because there's more evidence for communitarianism than one person has time to gather in one lifetime. How much longer can it remain so neglected and unimportant? How many communitarian accompanying laws must be passed before the American people are allowed to examine the principles it upholds?

Obama's communitarian mentors came to the USA from the 1850s to the 1990s to "shore up the moral, social and political environment." They continue to come here from the UK, Europe, Israel, the Soviet Union, the Vatican, the City of London, Brussels, the Hague and Communist China, advising US officials to make significant illegal changes to our political system. Communitarians open doors formerly locked and guarded by We the People under state and federal constitutional law. They help formerly free state citizens to advance harmoniously into a new specific idea of responsible global citizenship (aka slavery). They guide our leaders to foster interdepartmentalized privacy and property invasions. They advise our elected officials which people should be allowed to live, and ominously predict which people need to die for the "good of the community."

"Emanuel, however, believes that "communitarianism" should guide decisions on who gets care. He says medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia" (Hastings Center Report, Nov.-Dec. '96). " (Betsy McCaughey, founder of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths and a former New York lieutenant governor writing in "Deadly Doctors" about Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama's health policy advisor and brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel)

An ever changing target is difficult to identify or to launch an counter-attack against. That's why adept communitarians continuously shift their focus and hide their true ideology behind whatever ideology upsets you the most. When the American "right" accuses Obama of being a socialist or a communist, they play directly into the "capitalist-libertarian versus socialist" debate. The final outcome of the debate is not allowed into the debate itself. The left owns an ample arsenal of dis missives (red-baiting, McCarthyist, etc.) that keeps the controlled "right" exactly where the communitarians need them -- stuck in the outdated (and over) capitalist v communist divide. For example, Sarah Palin's right wing introduction of leftist communitarian policing to her hometown of Wassilla was never an issue in the last presidential campaign. Palin's recent facebook attack on Emanuel may be designed to take the focus OFF communitarianism (http://neveryetmelted.com/2009/08/16/dowd-palin-strafing-ezekiel-emanuel/). Here's a place where the 103 comments show where the attention's been diverted to: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/08/dr-death-panel-ezekial-emanuel-lashes.html.

The true nature of the current debate cannot be exposed to the average American, as it appears close to 91% will be most likely to object to eliminating the US Constitution in favor of Communitarian Values (see ACL homepage poll: http://nord.twu.net/acl).

As for Obama's new advisor on health care,

"His views aren’t limited to this one [the Lancet ] article. In 1996, he wrote a short article for the Hastings Center, in which he expounded upon the role that communitarianism might play in healthcare. Dr Emanuel’s bio-ethical views are heavily fueled by adherence to this philosophy of communitarianism. Briefly put, communitarianism is a fairly new political philosophy that emphasizes the role of the community in defining and shaping individuals. Communitarianism focuses on the need to balance individual rights and interests with that of the community as a whole, and that individual people (or citizens) are shaped by the cultures and values of their communities." http://www.politicalevidence.com/2009/08/obamas-ration-man-ezekiel-emanuel.html

What happens when Americans are actually introduced to the term communitarianism, and why is is always placed inside special quotes?

"Finally (really), because this is a blog about discrimination, I need to relate Dr.Emanuel’s health care “communitarianism,” i.e., his subordination of individual rights to the needs of the community, to the “communitarianism” that is at the root of much racial preference theory. Mickey Kaus noted, in the first of his posts linked above, that civic republican communitarianism is a version of modern liberalism popularized (to a degree) by the Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel. As some of you with long memories may recall, we have encountered Sandel and his theory here a couple of times, way back in 2003, in discussing how preferentialists have abandoned individual rights in favor of group rights (discriminating against individual whites and Asians isn’t discrimination because whites and Asians as a group suffer no undue hardship)" http://www.aarp.org/community/groups/displayTopic.bt?pageNum=1&groupId=1162&topicId=3474092

There's no doubt what-so-ever that Obama's (and Hillary's) National Health Care program is based entirely in communitarian principles. Nobody's ever explained it better than the writers for the natural health site Mercola.com did almost five years ago:

"A communitarian ethic increasingly governs health care in the U.S. It places a greater value on the health of the community, on society as a whole, than on the health of particular individuals. Public health officials have put together a vaccination schedule designed to eliminate infectious diseases to which the population is prey.

"Officials recognize that these vaccines will harm a small percentage of (genetically susceptible) individuals, but it is for the common good. The communitarian code posits that it is morally acceptable, if necessary, to sacrifice a few for the good of the many. Or as one observer more bluntly puts it, "Individual sheep can be sheared and slaughtered if it is for the welfare of their flock." This information is provided by Mercola.com, the world's most visited and trusted natural health website.

Communitarianism, by Obama's mentor's definition, is supposed to be the final synthesis of all conflicting political, racial, and religious ideologies. It's based entirely on Georg Hegel's interpretation of "God's Idea." Hegel said men will only be free when they make themselves total slaves to the state. He also said only a very enlightened few can comprehend how this works out for mankind. Hegelians helped force the world into social evolution by promoting violent conflicts between opposites. Now they brilliantly offer us their preplanned and more "moral" solutions to their own staged conflicts. The real conflict, the one between us and them, has barely surfaced as a possibly yet. That's the one they know they'd lose.

The only thing the communitarians have not been prepared to debate is an anticommunitarian argument. Since they claim their final synthesis is so perfect it gives rise to no antithesis, they can never acknowledge the existence of any credible counter-theory, no matter how well presented it is or how well backed up it is with published documents. All American colleges teach communitarian programs and policy, but most are savy enough to disguise it with vague terms like sustainable community development and rebuilding faith-based communities. On the rare occassion that our anti thesis is introduced to a class as an assignment or under "further reading," the result is always the same -- dead silence.

When a communitarian uses the word "community" in a public program, they're quietly imposing Community Rights on unsuspecting people holding legal claim to the protection of their natural born Individual Rights. The term "community" can be used to define anything from the global merchant community to the local community's Neighborhood Watch program. The emerging global communitarian system is a data driven experiment in micro-managing all aspects of human life. It's no accident that the US Census expanded into the invasive American Community Survey, just as it's not an accident that rural college programs like the Natural Resources and Community Development Program offered by the University of Alaska, Fairbanks primarily teaches "Workshops using GPS for navigation and mapping." How can they make us all "participate" if they don't know who we are, where we live and how many guns we own?

Communitarianism is the global change ideology of the 21st century. It's the foundation for global COPS, US-UK peacekeeping invasions and UN-NATO wars of liberation. It's the purpose for intrusive international efforts to achieve sustainable community development. It's the foundation for the European Union (and CAFTA/NAU/SPP/Wildlife & Trade Corridors, et.al.) and the primary reason for the failure of the Lisbon Treaty. Considering the recent anticommunitarian developments in Germany, Ireland, Portugul and the Czech Republic, now might be a very good time for Americans to get up to speed on Obama's real agenda and join their allies in what's left of the free thinking world.

"In essence, the court has ruled that by passing the so-called "accompanying law" to the Lisbon Treaty, which determines the rights of the German parliament to participate in European legislation, Germany had relinquished significant monitoring rights to the "Brussels EU". According to the judges, this unconstitutionally subjects the German people to the whims of a bureaucracy that lacks sufficient democratic legitimacy." (www.eu-facts.org)

The EU constitution and the Lisbon Treaty are being soundly rejected by the voters and judges (?!?!?) in several European countries. Nothing bothers the communitarian promoters of global peace and democracy more than people's insistance on peaceful, fully informed democratic voting. The Responsive Communitarians feel they have zero obligation to respond to legitimate questions and requests for their insider planning documents. If the communitarians have their way, Americans in the US will never get the chance to vote on communitarian integration. Obama and the fully committed communitarian US Congress will just slip it down our throats like we're all special guests at Jim Jones' cocktail party.

Their superior community morality knows no limits and has no organized opposition in the USA. The communitarians don't even worry about public scrutiny... the left v right divide works wonders at keeping people confused and way off target. How did the American press miss the fact that Obama appointed a communitarian to the US Supreme Court (Sonia Sotomayor)?

"Anyone who, without preconception, examines the life of Norman Thomas emerges with the sense of a deeply moral and morally subtle man who called himself a Socialist - even while he was repudiated by myriad Socialists - because he believed that a communitarian philosophy is truer to democracy than the everyone-for-himself libertarianism that represents the opposite pole in American politics." ("So, Who the Hell is Norman Thomas?")

Today I think anyone who still calls communitarianism a conspiracy theory or too difficult to pronounce or understand is purposefully diverting your attention from the only thing you may need to know about Obama. If you understand communitarianism, you understand it all. If you know just a piece of it, like the communist piece or the socialist agenda, you may not be able to see how capitalism and libertarianism play a role to further the overall communitarian agenda. Each "side" had a role in the final solution, so yes, they must all be studied and understood. But why stop midway in the dialectical drama? We're already into the final act where everything balances into one perfect theory of achieving world peace and harmony.

Etzioni assumed that once Obama won the presidency, all Americans would learn the actual terms for the new American system of injustice. Apparently Americans still need be kept in the dark regarding the purpose and objectives of the Obama administration. References to communitarianism continue to be short and appear benignly insignificant. It's so not. As Marc Ambender at the Atlantic assures us,

"Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich aren't debating the moral philosophy of John Rawls, whose formulations Emanuel borrows." (Zeke Emanuel, The Death Panels, And Illogic In Politics)

There's a very short window of opportunity being presented on the global stage.. who will speak for the Americans before the final curtain falls? The Irish? One can only hope.

Stop Communitarian Laws. The country you save may be your own.

Moral Responsibility and Respect for Autonomy: Meeting the Communitarian Challenge
Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal - Volume 10, Number 4, December 2000, pp. 337-352
The Johns Hopkins University Press

"The principle of respect for autonomy has come under increasing attack both within health care ethics, specifically, and as part of the more general communitarian challenge to predominantly liberal values. This paper will demonstrate the importance of respect for autonomy for the social practice of assigning moral responsibility and for the development of moral responsibility as a virtue. Guided by this virtue, the responsible exercise of autonomy may provide a much-needed connection between the individual and the community."

"Vote for me and I'll set you free! Right on, brother. right on."

Every time someone asks me who I'm going to vote for on Tuesday, or I get reminded to vote, I can't refrain from thinking about that song, Ball of Confusion. I try not to sing it out loud, not only because my voice is pretty shot after 35 years of smoking, but I can't turn off the radio in my brain.

Music was the salve throughout the stark and often brutal reality of my childhood. For most of my young adult life I was in musicals, bands, orchestras and street shows. Quilters at UAF was the last musical I did; Nordica was 2 years old at the time and we were living in a dry cabin with wood heat during a cold Fairbanks winter. The commitment to a stage production, especially if the music is difficult, is 24/7. I was tending bar part-time, in classes full time and living pretty much like I live today. There wasn't enough time in the day to do what had to be done. Water jugs have to be filled. Wood has to be brought in and the water freezes if it's left in the car. And 2 year olds just aren't a lot of help around the house. Quilters is an intense, dramatic show, we had a "real" NY director, and between Ken Richie and the gorgeous handmade quilts from Oklahoma University, it was spectacular. I'm grateful that I had that incredible and memorable experience, especially now that I can see it was the last one I'll ever do.

I almost stopped listening to radio music when I learned the role of the musical bards in the NWO plan. I threw away my Jewel CD when I saw her promoting sustainable development. I had just finished memorizing her entire "Spirit" CD, the only one I took camping with me on Johns' pond winter of 2002. There were many nights I went out into the fog down by the pond (with its great acoustics) and wailed to the frogs and the deer. I especially loved singing, "If I could tell the world just one thing it would be, we're all okay. Not to worry, 'cause worry is wasteful and useless in times like these. I won't be made useless, won't be idle with despair, I'll gather myself around my faith and light the darkness most feared.... " Many times I cried so hard I couldn't finish, but those songs gave me the strength to stay out there in my flimsy tent and keep working on the Dawson timelines, which was so all important to me at the time. Back in 2002 I still believed in my people and my nation; I still had hope that the communitarians would lose. And I still thought everyone who said they were a Christian really meant it.

I've let go of pretty much everything now, and I stopped voting for U.S. Presidents after 2000, when I realized every candidate offered for my consideration is a communitarian. I will register to vote again when there is a possibility that the American people will get to vote on whether or not we support eliminating the constitution in favor of communitarian values. (The ACL homepage poll shows 90% of Americans are against it.) I'll register to vote for someone or something that matters, but so far there are no Paul Barnes or Dick Mottas in my state.

Maybe I should learn more about how to introduce a state referendum so Alaskans can vote on supra-national integration. But nobody here knows what the hell that is so it would require explaining it at every door I went to get signatures.

I think it's amazing what's happening in Europe with the EU constitution. Even with all I've read it's still pretty shocking to read the way the free traders openly talk about the Irish people who voted to reject their globalist Lisbon Treaty. The EU is the model for all regional government, I think that means Americans should probably show as much support as possible for the the Irish, French and Dutch voters who voted NO. It could even be in our best national interest to support all the commoners across Europe who haven't got to vote, like us. It might also behoove us to pay attention to the million Gazans who petitioned the UN for redress of grievances.

My neighbors told me if Obama wins we should ask the UN to recognise our state as an independent republic and elect Sarah Palin President. I offered a counter suggestion of us declaring our state a constitutional monarchy and anointing Sarah Palin our Queen. I said my goodness, she's certainly experienced enough for that. They thought I was serious.

Here's why I want to make a comedy video of American election idiocy, I may as well, American "politicos" already think I'm the Daily Chuckle (and still insist on calling the ACL a "tin foil" site) :

Gov. Sarah Palin and Growing Anti-Alaskan Sentiment

It's been a few years since the Red v. Blue dialectic was first tested in America and I think it kind of fizzled out the same way the Third Way did. But now it's back, and this time Americans are falling for it with a vengence. Forums and articles with "Sarah" as the topic are filled with comments that rudely disparage her, her family, and more often lately, all the Alaskan people.

I think we're capable of being led into a civil war over this coming election. War is the ultimate dialectical tool. If groups of people who all share one nation can be convinced to hate each other enough to take up arms against each other, it opens the door to intervention and regime change. Everytime I see an article about ballot fraud I get the feeling no matter which side wins in Nov, the other side will scream "fraud." Then maybe all the people who have been brainwashing my countrymen into hating Alaska will organize peaceful protests that "somehow" turn into rioting.

To me, the financial crisis is perfectly timed to co-incide with the changes that must occur in the US before the global government can take full control of the world economy. While much of the world is somewhat aware of their international communitarian integration requirements, the US citizenry remains completely in the dark about the transformation taking place.

Millions of Americans still believe that voting for Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin can help save America. Thousands of comments suggest that people voting for the "other side" are traitors. We're seeing a lot more "fighting words." As a former bartender, I recognise the kinds of stupid arguments that will lead to blows if they aren't distracted into something less violent.

The most blatant mistake being made about Alaska:

Sarah Palin did not give us all $3000.00 to vote for her. The pfd was created under Governor Jay Hammond and the original plan was to pay the dividends based on longevity. That would have meant the old timers would have had a nice retirement and the natives wouldn't need so many federal grants to survive. Two New York lawyers called the Zobels came up and filed a lawsuit. Then Alaska had to split it equally with everyone who had lived here for one year. The ruling was based on the freedom Americans have to move from state to state and to take up residence anywhere in the union. (Alaskan bumpersticker in 1982-"We got Zobelfucked")

It's like Alaska is on trial for being unfamiliar and different from the rest of the country. It's a pretty stupid reason to attack a diverse population of strangers, but it's working anyway. It's freakydeaky that suddenly we're supposed to be the refuge state for the Christian Zionists who want a front row seat to Armageddon. But religious wars do create the most passion for bloodshed, don't they? Maybe the feminists will lead the army up the Alcan Highway.

Nordica's friends say they want to punch Sarah Palin in the face.

NYC mayor seeks more sway over Ground Zero

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City should get more control over Ground Zero's long-delayed rebuilding by abolishing a state agency, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Wednesday, a day before the seventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Bloomberg, who said the memorial to the nearly 3,000 people who died in the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center must open by the 10th anniversary of the attacks, also recommended scaling back the site's transit hub.

Bloomberg, an independent, urged the state to dismantle the Lower Manhattan Development Corp, which parceled out billions of dollars of federal rebuilding aid. The state agency's record has been marred by its oversight of the demolition of the Deutsche Bank building. Last summer, two firefighters died there in a blaze being probed by the New York district attorney.

"The multiple layers of authority between the federal, state and city and the private sector just keeps getting in the way," Bloomberg told reporters at a ceremony where he signed one of the first steel beams for the memorial.

Many leftist challengers to the official 9/11 conspiracy theory promote the idea that the attacks were an inside, "neo-conservative" job. If the PNAC is supposed to be so neo-conservative, why was former communist/terrorist anti-war protestor/SDS Herr Doktor Amitai Etzioni listed as endorsing the PNAC war projects? Why don't the 9/11 researchers talk about Etzioni's literary or policy contributions to the overall plan for "US world dominance?" What does Etzioni mean when he says "the world needs a new global architecture?"

"They believe a group of US neo-conservatives called the Project for a New American Century, set on US world dominance, orchestrated the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to hit Iraq, Afghanistan and later Iran." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-403757/Fury-academics-claim-9-11-inside-job.html

Revealed: Sarah Palin's ancestors came from Norfolk

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 2:29 PM on 11th September 2008

US presidential race hopeful Sarah Palin can trace her family tree back to 18th century Norfolk.

Historians have revealed that Mrs Palin ancestors emigrated from the East Anglia county.

According to family tree website ancestry.co.uk the vice-presidential candidate's great, great, great, great, great grandfather Robert Gower was baptised in Norwich in 1723.

Gower is responsible for taking the family on the perilous journey across the Atlantic to begin a new life in America.

Sarah Palin's relatives came from Norfolk, the same county as Steve Coogan's fictional character Alan Partridge

Research using births, marriage and death records show Gower, who is from Mrs Palin's mother's side, left Norfolk for America in the 18th century and had a son James, her great, great, great, great grandfather, who was born in Maine.

Other American politicians to have roots across the Atlantic include:

* Barack Obama's great-great-great grandfather Falmouth Kearney was a simple farmer from Moneygall, County Offaly in Ireland. In 1850, Mr Kearney left Ireland to escape the potato famine, sailing from Liverpool, England, on the S.S. Marmion bound for America.

* George W. Bush has royal lineage with links to the Spencer family that produced Diana, Princess of Wales - it makes him the 17th cousin to Prince William of Wales. Mr Bush is also linked to Sir Winston Churchill through three relatives, the Coes of New York, the Sumners of Massachusetts and the Shermans of Rhode Island.

* Bill Clinton has even bluer blood. His ancestry can be traced back, on his mother's side, to King Henry III who ruled England from 1227 to 1272. He is also related to several medieval monarchs and Simon de Montfort, a statesman and solider under King Henry III.

So why did Mrs Palin's ancestors leave Norfolk?

Susan Maddock, principal archivist at the Norfolk Record Office, said: 'Unlike the 17th century and, to some extent, the 19th century, there is no particular theme of why people moved to America.

Hunsett Mill, along River Ant, Norfolk.

Norfolk roots: Sarah Palin's great, great, great, great, great grandfather Robert Gower grew up in the beautiful countryside of Norfolk

'In the late 16th and 17th centuries it was due to religious freedom, while in the 19th century a lot of paupers went to America, some people were transported there for their crimes while others wanted to better themselves.'

Ms Maddock said during the 18th century people also moved to America to administer or run the colonial government.

'But there was nothing pressing in the 18th century, no particular reason why they might have gone when compared to the 17th or 19th centuries.'

She said Norfolk was one of the most populous places in Britain before the industrial revolution.

'And also being a coastal county, it was more likely that people would travel by sea and meet people from abroad and be inspired to travel.'

Atlantic voyage: Barack Obama's family tree can be traced back to Ireland, while Bill Clinton and George W. Bush can both boast British royal lineage

As well as the Norfolk connection, the governor of Alaska also has roots from across Europe, with two maternal great grandparents born in Germany - Mary Scholmtz, born in Frankfurt in 1860, and Charles Mueller, who travelled to the USA with his wife.

Mrs Palin is not Norfolk's only link with American presidents.

Abraham Lincoln's connection to Hingham is well known, with the president being the great, great, great, great grandson of Samuel Lincoln, servant of Francis and Liddia Laives, who left England in April 1637, arriving at Boston two months later.

Mrs Palin, a mother of five who has been married for 20 years, caused a stir when she was announced as running mate for John McCain.

She has scarcely been out of the news since.

The 44-year-old, dubbed a 'pitbull in lipstick' will become the first female US vice-president if the Republicans win the election in November.

Correction: I'll be ont the show Tuesday Sept 9, (not 8th as previously stated).

Did Sarah Palin help build a model communitarian city in rural Alaska? Yes. How do I know this for sure? All I needed to do was go read their website.

"Wasilla is focused on the needs of its current residents while planning for the future." City of Wasilla Development page, http://www.cityofwasilla.com/index.aspx?page=46

"Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." http://www.ace.mmu.ac.uk/eae/Sustainability/Older/Brundtland_Report.html(1987 The definition of sustainable development presented by the UN's Bruntland Commission.

The term itself was offically adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. The mandate for sustainable everything became the foundation for localizing the UN Local Agenda 21 Programme in 168 member nations.

Hauled and cut wood all afternoon and set up a water supply to the new home gertee. Got lazy about putting up the last of the wool insulation, it's so heavy I just can't work on it every day. It's still raining most days but staying at 50 above so I'm grateful I'm not freezing AND wet. I can sure tell I'm in my 50s now; hauling logs hurts just a little more and the pain lingers for just a little longer. I can't imagine how I'll manage to live this lifestlye in my 60s, unless little Freddie takes over for me when he's 10. Of course there's always the possibility this area will be absorbed into Valdez or Glenallen or be in a borough government. This would mean new regulations will be passed that won't allow me to do this anymore. This may be the only place left in America where there are no building codes and no community developers or community cops. Copper Center has all the native "community health" programs and the local churches get faith-based grants but they don't have any power to inspect our properties or to give out tickets for Soviet code violations.

The Kenny Lake Mercantile (kennylake.com)is closing. Sharon Forster, current owner, lost in her civil suit against the former owners for non-disclosure of building problems. Word is Sharon didn't notice or check the box that said she wanted full disclosure. She moved here from Utah; nobody told her how many crooks live in Alaska too. It's a crying shame. She spent 3 years fixing everything and now she lost it all. We built her a beautiful website and her park has been packed ever since. The former owners are hated by most locals and many people boycotted it when the Winninghams owned it. The only reason Wengers opened their store at 11 mile is because the community begged them to and promised to support them. Sharon worked hard to repair the damage with the locals, and she even offered to manage it over the winter and keep all her employees, but they refused; they'd rather only cater to the summer visitors. This is very bad news for us, as it's "town." There's nothing else like it out here. Too bad somebody decent doesn't come along and buy it. It has great potential.

Radio host Jeff Rense (rense.com) invited me back on his show and I'm scheduled to go on Sept 8. Got an email just now from Lisa Long that Rense's site has been hacked. Went to check it out and it's true, he posted a note that says he's been under serious attack. Here's a few articles/blogs I read while I was there:

By Brother Nathanael Kapner, Copyright 2008:

From Lisa Long's (Angels for Truth) newsletter I learned just by reading the titles how Palin is seen by the left, the feminists, the enviros, save the animals, stop global warming and Obamites. Communitarianism blends these groups with Palin's conservative, NRA, & pro-life Christian values. Obviously nobody's told these groups. But first, before everyone's going to get along and live happily ever after, there must be major conflicts between the primary sides, the more violent, the better. The globalists need us to fight each other within our own nations. We must all be destroyed from within. This is what Hegel says moves humanity closer to social and spiritual perfection, and Hegel was only interpreting God's Idea. A couple links I went to:

From Tamar's blog:

(IsraelNN.com) Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin slammed Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama in her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, saying, "Terrorist states are seeking nuclear weapons without delay; he wants to meet them without preconditions. Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America; he's worried that someone won't read them their rights." http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/152476

As for Palin's Pentacostal beliefs, I wish that didn't even need to be addressed. But it's all part of the big entertainment show called Election 2008, and Sarah Palin is the rising star. There's an ancient prophecy that was told to my Inupiat friend Maynard by outside American Indians. Lakota and Hopi's said their people's visions told them there would one day rise a great white woman from the far north who would unite all the tribes and bring peace to all the people. I can't help but wonder what Maynard and those Indians think of this bizarre turn of events. Ho.

"Abstinence-only educators By Thomas Schaller 01 Sep 2008 Both Sarah Palin and John McCain back abstinence-only education... What's galling is this: When the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, minority teenage mother growing up in some (presumably Democratic) urban area, that pregnancy becomes fodder for lectures from conservatives about bad parenting, the perils of welfare spending and so on. But when the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, white teenager from some small town in a Republican state, that pregnancy is...a celebration of the wonders of God's magnificence--and choosing life!"

Speak Your Piece: Palin Makes Alaska Even Cooler, by Kathy Kitts

My sister Kathy/fishtaxi is writing for the Daily Yonder. Her first article shows the diverse Alaskan reactions to Palin's candidacy and how it doesn't have to become a dialectical conflict between people of vastly different views. We have enough reasons to bicker as sisters, we don't need a new "issue" to divide us. My sisters supported our ACL research from the beginning. Kathy has donated a laptop, both her and Judy donate warm clothes and materials. Judy got me passes to fly to our mom's hospital bed in 2002 and to get me out of Fairbanks after my caretaking job on the Wood River. The ACL's Girl Scout tent was pitched in Kathy's backyard in 2004. My sister Sue is one of the original founders and writers for the ACL (she was the one who suggested our name). Thanks for including us Kath! We like your style. :)

Kathy stopped by on her way to a cookjob in a hunting camp in Cold Bay. She's a great cook and they're in for a real treat. Catherine Fletcher-Gilbert stopped by with some Balm of Giliad (we use it for bug dope and lots of things). She wants to give basketweaving seminars in our gertee. We've discussed it before and hope to incorporate it in with classes from Tim on dog mushing, sled making, trapmaking, winter skills, wildlife photoshoots and all the other good stuff he knows. We watched Catherine weave one today while we visited and it's amazing to realize how essential baskets are to life, the fact that they've been a staple of human life forever, and none of us besides her know how to do it. Moving to the country I quickly grasped how disenfranchised I've become from my cultural heritage. Humans used to make things that fit their needs perfectly.

Lots of old material on the walls of the former "museum gertee," but it has a partial tile floor and still feels sunny and inviting inside. Now that it's warm too it's a gorgeous improvement over the last model. I can see the stars through the roofhole and there was a hint of Northern Lights last night.

Community Policing, LA21 and Sarah Palin

"A 1992 Palin ad called her a "new face, new voice," who would work for "a safer, more progressive Wasilla."" http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/story/8334949p-8231037c.html

Did Sarah Palin implement any portion of LA-21 in Wasilla while she was mayor? 1992 is when Wasilla changed into a sustainable shopping mall. The comments in the Frontiersman seem to indicate she supports several LA21 goals including government controlled land use. http://www.frontiersman.com/articles/2008/02/01/local_news/doc47a2c7bcdf210495927316.txt

A further search turns up this:

The land debate began several years ago over property near the city's municipal airport.

Lundgren planned to build an industrial park there, he said. He is a former Fairbanks resident who owns business parks and mini-storage warehouses in Alaska, Idaho, Washington, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Panama and Colombia.

Lundgren negotiated with the national office of The Nature Conservancy to buy the land. Meanwhile, Wasilla city officials decided they wanted the land too, and began negotiating with the Alaska office of The Nature Conservancy. Offers were extended to both parties. Lundgren closed the deal. Wasilla sued both Lundgren and The Nature Conservancy for title to the land. The case went to a federal appeals court, where Lundgren won rights to the property.

Meanwhile, a city-appointed citizens' committee studying where to put a new sports complex agreed that the land near the airport was the best place for a city-owned hockey rink and turf court. City voters in 2002 approved a half-percent sales tax hike to pay for the new facility. The appeals court ruling in Lundgren's favor came after construction was underway, Klinkner said.

Wasilla filed for eminent domain to get the property. That case has sputtered along while Lundgren and the city disagreed over appraisals and other details.

Wasilla City Council met in executive session June 11 to talk about settlement. Afterwards, the council unanimously agreed to pay an unspecified settlement price.

Klinkner said that the council agreed to pay the court-ordered fee of $770,332 plus interest, but that attorney fees remain unresolved.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is a Communitarian

Communitarianism is a global system of governance that depends heavily on elected politicians and their appointed councils to write and implement global communitarian law and standards. In the U.S. and most western nations, Community and Economic Development is a key communitarian program that allows the expanded, more balanced government to direct and control all private property, for the "common good."

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Comprehensive Plan and Anchorage 2020 is included in our book, "2020: Our Common Destiny." We used the plan as an example of what kinds of things are embedded in local rebuilding community plans in Alaska, as opposed to Seattle plans which we studied, fought and ran away from when we moved home in 2004.

After I read Palin's mission statment online when she was running for governor, I emailed her staff and asked them to please explain what she meant by her core philosophy being her desire to promote the common good. They never responded.

Last month I read a copy of one of her state of the state addresses where she promised to provide jobs and train all Alaskans, because we were "born to work."

Here's a perfect example of a communitarian council formed to promote the common good:

"On September 14, 2007, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin signed Administrative Order 238, establishing the Climate Change Sub-Cabinet. The sub-cabinet will consolidate the state's knowledge of climate change in order to recommend policies and measures to guide the state's mitigation and adaptation efforts. It includes the commissioners of the Departments of Commerce, Community and Economic Development; Natural Resources; Fish and Game; Transportation and Public Facilities; and Environmental Conservation (Chair). The Administrative Order also directs the group to consult with the president of the University of Alaska and explore ways to promote development of renewable energy sources such as geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, and tidal resources. Governor also signed a letter adding Alaska as an observer to the Western Climate Initiative." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/29/sarah-palin-on-the-enviro_n_122382.html

"Recommending policies and measures" sounds so benign, doesn't it? What if this article was more clear about the sub-cabinet's objective, and said their purpose is to guide the state into supranational communitarian integration? What is the purpose for an agency in every city in the U.S. called Community and Economic Development? Why would developers be on a sub-cabinet determining how to adapt Alaska state constitutional law to become subordinate to global climate change law? Hmmm.

Sarah Palin is the key to understanding why there is ultimately ZERO difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. We will have a global communitarian government no matter who we vote for. The changes that happened to Wasilla under Palin's leadership are ALL communitarian in nature. We hear about it all the time from people who still live there. New regulations restrict dog mushing trails, new cops cite people for junk storage and "noise"... this is called a "local" solution but come on people, it's almost an EXACT replica of Seattle and everywhere else. Who taught Palin to mouth global communitarian platitudes, and why don't our people think it's odd when a politican says they promise to provide jobs and training?

The focus will be one her beauty and inexperience. Is anyone even remotely interested in knowing her philosophy? Was Hegel cute?

The environmentalists hate her for her connection to Big Oil (she wants to open ANWR) and one I read said she's done less than Bush to curb climate change. Our state boasts a fair share of change agents on all sides of every issue. Here's an Alaskan fly fisherman who supported the Clean Water Act, an initiative shot down at the polls after a statewide education campaign led by people who wanted voters to consider the far-reaching implications of the proposed law. It works so well when the dialectical choice is between shutting down all resources to everyone or allowing international developers control of state resources. Either way, the people who want the right to own an independant mine are the losers. When I lived in Fairbanks in 1976 there were about 3500 private gold mines in the area. A few years ago, after 3 decades of new mining regulations, it was down to less than 500. http://tspey.wordpress.com/

For a good overview of how to build a communitarian city, got to the City of Wasilla Economic Development page.

Mission Statement

We are committed to achieving an unparalleled quality of life* for the people of Wasilla, Alaska by building prosperity, fostering opportunity, and unleashing the "can do" spirit in our community. http://www.cityofwasilla.com/index.aspx?page=64

* The term "quality of life" was the topic of the Vassar Sociology class where my thesis and this blog were introduced as reading materials. "Quality of life" is a communitarian term that means something different for everyone. When it's used in conjunction with community and economic development, it means the new development includes revising the government structure, incorporating community policing, and the city assuming enlarged or revised powers to direct and control private property. COPS (of which Wasilla has almost more than Valdez) work with city planners to train city employees in inside home inspections. City inspectors are trained to gather all kinds of data on citizens which is turned over to the COPS. All federal community COPS have access to the DOJ-COPS COMPASS database. Their interest in private citizens can lead to health and safety interventions, arrests, or the ultimate goal, abatements.
