Reflections From a Murky Pond

I’m not one to pay overly much attention to the various things that spew from the maw of Paul Krugman. The pontifications, ramblings, and rants of a rabidly fanatical Keynesian neo-Socialist who makes his rent working for the filthy rag known as the New York Times aren’t the sorts of things that I, or any other American, normally pay much heed to – except to keep an eye on what our nation’s enemies are thinking or emoting.

Krugman is willfully dead wrong more often than not on causation and dead wrong, again willfully, every time when it comes to remediation

All that being said, Krugman is not an idiot and he is skilled enough to make solidly plausible predictions of future events, especially relatively near-term ones.

Some of us have been talking it over, and here’s what we think the end game looks like:

1. Greek euro exit, very possibly next month.

2. Huge withdrawals from Spanish and Italian banks, as depositors try to move their money to Germany.

3a. Maybe, just possibly, de facto controls, with banks forbidden to transfer deposits out of country and limits on cash withdrawals.

3b. Alternatively, or maybe in tandem, huge draws on ECB credit to keep the banks from collapsing.

4a. Germany has a choice. Accept huge indirect public claims on Italy and Spain, plus a drastic revision of strategy basically, to give Spain in particular any hope you need both guarantees on its debt to hold borrowing costs down and a higher eurozone inflation target to make relative price adjustment possible; or:

4b. End of the euro.

And we’re talking about months, not years, for this to play out.

Of course this isn’t exactly rocket science or even one of the more arcane examples of the semi-mystical art form known today as the study of Economics. Both hyperinflation and the end of the Euro in the near future are easy predictions to make in the wake of Greece’s Keynesian meltdown and financial collapse.

NOTE: Krugman’s prediction of a European financial meltdown matches my own and naturally feeds into whatever level of Confirmation Bias that I’m saddled with.

Of course these events will happen and happen soon. They were foreordained from the moment of Greece’s financial implosion under the weight of their Socialist economic policies.

I’ll add though that these event will, in turn, most likely lead to the breaking of the European Union by 2015. They can’t hold together as a government – or meta-government, or whatever they are – without a common currency.

You hear the word fascism shouted out by Liberals and Progressives – and the “lamestream” media. It’s mostly used as a tired and dog-eared pejorative against Americans, who stand firmly against the anti-American and often race-based, Leftist ideology promulgated by these sorts.

The ironic part of this is that the Left are the ones supporting a historic Fascist precursor.

What these Leftists either conveniently forget or willfully ignore is the very simple fact that Fascism as a socio-economic model is firmly rooted upon Syndicalism, something that they rampantly and stridently endorse.

While Syndicalism may have started as Anarcho-Syndicalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was a movement meant to destroy both the corporate structures and the State, this revolutionary movement was defeated and proven untenable. The State proved too necessary and too powerful to be supplanted in developed nations with strong interactions and agreements with other nations.

What rose up to replace Anarcho-Syndicalism was National Syndicalism, which sought to supplant or suborn the State actors while maintaining the original political framework of the nation.

This directly led to the rise of Labor Syndicates as power bases in European countries and the regimes of: Francisco Franco in Spain, Benito Mussolini in Italy, and finally Adolf Hitler in Germany.

Does this mean that the rise of labor unions and their entrenchment in the State always results in Fascism? No; of course not. It has, however, regularly, if not universally, done so in the past. Hence, the Liberals and Progressives are vociferously supporting the precursor behaviors of the very thing – Fascism – that they so often accuse Americans are supporting.

The Muslims cabal known as the Cordoba Initiative, fronted for by imam Feisal Abdul-Rauf, plans to build a 13 story Muslim “cultural center” which includes a masjid in lower Manhattan just two blocks from- and overlooking Ground Zero.

These Muslims claim that such an act is meant to be a means of “building bridges” between Muslims and Americans. Yet every single detail of their plan gives lie to that perfidious assertion and shows that the Cordoba House is meant to glorify the Jihad and mock America.

They’re not even particularly subtle about it, though most Americans have been kept ignorant enough that it’s not too surprising that these Muslims thought no one would notice.  The Cordoba House is being built by Feisal Abdul-Rauf’s Cordoba Initiative. The key word here being, “Cordoba,” the seat of Muslim rule during their rape of Spain.

Why Cordoba House?

When the Muslim hordes swarmed out of North Africa and completed their rape of Andalusia the conquered people were forced to convert to Islam or be murdered. The conquering beasts’ Emir, Abd ar-Rahman I commandeered the Christian church of St. Vincent in Cordoba in 784 AD, desecrated it, and converted it into a masjid (mosque).

The rabidly theocratic Muslims, as they have always done or attempted to do, used this masjid as a symbol of their conquest and subjugation of  the conquered people.  Abd ar-Rahman I actually used the masjid – originally named Aljama Mosque after one of his “wives” – as an adjunct to palace.

In Cordoba, the capital of what the Muslims called Al-Andalus in their native tongue , the “Great Mosque” was seen as the heart and central focus of the capital. It remained that way until 1236 AD, when Córdoba was liberated from the Muslim filth by King Ferdinand III of Castile and the mosque was returned back into a Christian church.

It is now once again a Roman Catholic cathedral and is called the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (English: Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption).

Such is a very brief history of the masjid in Cordoba, Spain – Cordoba House 1.0 if you will.

~*~

The conquest and ensuing rape and enslavement of much of Spain is still a “glorious” memory for Muslims and the “Great Mosque of Cordoba” is still an important symbol for their various tribes and far-flung nests. Even to this very day Muslims are more than willing to attack, maim, and gleefully kill anyone who prevents them from violating the sanctity of the cathedral in order mouth their prayers to Allah and His Pedophile Prophet.

No, despite any mendacious contrary claims, their naming of this “cultural center” with its attendant masjid overlooking the site of Islam’s greatest single attack upon America the Cordoba House cannot be seen by any American as anything other than part of their jihad against the Civilized World because it is ridiculous to believe that Imam Feisal isn’t well-versed in Islamic history; he and his nest of vermin just hope and pray that Americans are.

If nothing else, the fact that these vermin want to locate this abomination at Ground Zero and open their nest on 9/11 2011 should make it clear to anyone that their naming of it Cordoba House has nothing relating to peaceful coexistence between humanity and Muslims other than the peace of submission, i.e., Islam.

Among the more disgusting and depraved parts of Spanish culture – more proof that all cultures were not created equal – is bullfighting, the systematic torturing to death of a bull by “men” in queer looking costumes for the entertainment and amusement of the crowds.

One of the current “luminaries” of this barbaric and disgusting form of entertainment is Julio Aparicio, who has taken many bulls’ ears – a quaint Spanish custom – during its career. Perhaps though one should say that this particular oily subhuman was one the “luminaries” of Spanish bullfighting; it came out on the losing end of a bull fight on May 22, 2010 during the Feria de San Isidor bullfighting event at the Plaza de Toros Las Ventas in Madrid, Spain.

Karma: Punishing Filthy Vermin Since The Dawn Of Time

The bull, a 1100lb beast named Opiparo, took Aparicio in the throat after the matador got clumsy and fell on his ass. Opiparo’s victorious strike pierced Apricio’s throat, went though its tongue and penetrated the roof of its mouth, fracturing the jawbone and cranium.

Julio Aparicio was rushed to the hospital where he is currently listed in critical condition but is sadly expected to survive.

Bravo, Opiparo! Ole! La próxima vez que matar a ese hijo de puta marica.
