The lack of water will end life as we know it. No place has a greater loss of water than Perú other than small nations in Arabia (such as Yemen). The lack of water is the result of the greed of governments, agribusinesses, retailers, and industries such as the Koch Industries of Kansas (USA).
Racism has been a part of recorded history since its beginning of more than 15000 years. Much of it has come out of a myth that is popular among Jews and Christians: Genesis 9:20-27 which is plagiarized from a far older Egyptian text based on the theology centered around the God Osiris, coupled with ancient Greek tales.
While the teaching of Darwin’s theory of evolution still raises the blood pressure of USA Tea Bag Party Republicans/GOP, climate warming is now the monster of the moment. “Science is bunk” most Tea Baggers brag; and 74% of the GOP in the US Senate concur (http://blog.thenewstribune.com/letters/2011/04/11/gop-is-against-using-science-to-solve-problems/ and http://www.alternet.org/story/150340/ and http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2010/10/10/how-did-an-entire-political-party-decide-to-reject-climate-change-science/ on the economics of climate change and geopolitics, …
Ignorance and arrogance push hatred to new levels in the USA, surpassing any of the crimes against humanity festered on the skin of the USA by Joe McCarthy and Richard M. Nixon–by two people far worse: Michelle Bachman (MN) and Steven King (IA) who would excuse murder in Iraq as equal to “hazing” while condoning hate crimes as “crimes of the mind.” This is written to expose two of the most dangerous criminals in the USA Congress whose sole love is not for the history of the USA nor for its people, but for their grab for power and adulation.
Charles and David Koch have become gods to many, and have bought nine governorships in their drive to disempower workers, and to end basic freedom in the USA. Among the top ten worse polluters in the world, Koch Industries funds various fascist groups and continues to destroy the planet and its people.
Ignorance in the USA is not “creeping along” but running backwards surpassing all scientific truths and realities in quest of the alma mater narcotic nipple of complacency and wishful thinking—and it is not just in the USA, it is a worldwide contagion. Ignorance breeds hatred and violence as seen in the twin evils of the …
Darrell Issa (R-CA) is using his post in Congress to attack President Obama–not for things he considers Obama has done wrong, but because Obama is Black and seen as a liberal–yet the same graft that Issa sees in Obama an observer can find in Issa who does not represent his own constituents. Issa allows his constituents to have among the highest records of home foreclosures, job losses, and decreasing prosperity. Issa is deep in the pay of the Koch Brothers and is opposed to climate controls, labor, and human rights.
Labor unions have been attacked as un-American in Republican-led states. Labor is accustomed to being belittled, degraded, defamed, but it is because of collective bargaining that workers in the USA enjoy an eight hour work day, a five day work week, unemployment benefits, and more.
Most evangelical christians argue that justifiable murder of abortion providers and homosexuals is the will of their Jesus in their bibles. Among the states leading in hatred and calling for murder in the name of Christ is the state of Iowa, but throughout the USA there have been numerous evangelicals traveling to Uganda to encourage the enactment of state assassinations of gays and lesbians, while in Nigeria they argue for the killing of adulterers. What is unique is that most of these hate-filed groups are members of a pseudo-Christian group known as The Family.
Attacks on workers organizing for better working conditions, pay, and fewer hours has plighted Europe since the fourteenth century. This has been especially true today in Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, and other Red States where new governors who bought their offices with money from the Koch Brothers by promising lucrative state grants have threatened violence similar to the Tea and Roses bloodbath, and the various attacks in the past on Wisconsin workers. Scott Walker lies regularly about the state of the State of Wisconsin and is urging a civil war between the rich and the rest of the state.
