Krugman Can Afford to Talk About Affordable Truths Because Talk is Still Cheap and So Is Your Tax Monies for Liberals.

Abstract: Krugman tells us that massive changes to the business community to combat Glob al Warming are “affordable.” He uses every sort of Neo-Keynesian persuasion short of selling candy on the streets to make his point that we should burden business with carbon dioxide caps and sell ‘credits’ like peasants sell onions in the bazaar. He is optimistic that the recent evidence of massive fraud and made public will not damage the prospects of the left in Copenhagen.

Propaganda is based on persuasion so there is little need to usher in a lot of facts to prove your point if a quick slap in the face with the demagogic paddle is achievable. Propaganda[1][2][3][4] is the foundation of left-liberal articles in the New York Times (that is known affectionately as the Walter Duranty Papers[5] in honor of their most beloved Pulitzer Prize winner) are built upon a curious blend of noisy and erratic pandering to special interest groups such as unions, special interest groups and certified Ouija board prophets who can foresee what is best for humankind.  

The successful propaganda piece thus mixes hatred, fear and an offer of money or safety or some appeal to other human needs and today’s article offers all this wonder to all of us at a very low cost. We are buried in 12 trillion dollars worth of debt and are well  beyond the capability to pay this off before our economy sinks in inflation and worse but we can ‘afford’ a few trillion dollars more to save us from disaster.

“Maybe I’m naïve, but I’m feeling optimistic about the climate talks starting in Copenhagen on Monday”[6]--An Affordable Truth By Paul Krugman Op-Ed Columnist Published: December 6, 2009 [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

Let’s start out on a high note.

“It’s also encouraging to see developing countries — including China, the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide — agreeing, at least in principle, that they need to be part of the solution.”-- An Affordable Truth By Paul Krugman

India said they would not agree to fixed limit and this is causing internal squabbles, but India has always said NO to such fixed quotas.[7] China is also unwilling to do anything other than mumble.

Implicit in the construction of a proper propaganda piece is the timely assertion that we face some major problem and that the problem is real and urgent and that we can, shoulder to shoulder, work out the difficulties and solve this given enough government and tax revenues.  Here the phony Global Warming Follies[8] replete with scientific fraud, corruption and undignified conduct[9] still braces up the truss where the left can hang bogeypersons  and accommodate the ‘poor’ who crawl to their feet to grovel and bawl for alms. So, phony or not, here we take a go at the world’s tax base.

Next, comes a glittering jewel of circular logic, spam and hokum unmatched in the literature:

“Why should you believe that cutting emissions is affordable? First, because financial incentives work.

Action on climate, if it happens, will take the form of “cap and trade”: businesses won’t be told what to produce or how, but they will have to buy permits to cover their emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. So they’ll be able to increase their profits if they can burn less carbon — and there’s every reason to believe that they’ll be clever and creative about finding ways to do just that.”-- An Affordable Truth By Paul Krugman

This is perhaps the best example of a triple reverse baloney tangle.

Stripped of its fluff and glitter, here is what we are looking at:

[1] Some phony government, perhaps the UN, will ‘decide’ how much CO2 can be emitted based on some phony science backed by fraud and deceit and will issue ‘permits’ for that amount, currently about 28$ per ton.

[2] Penalties will be severe for ignoring these restricted emissions so companies will be forced to buy ‘credits’ from others, many just silly leftists who can ‘sell’ their credits based on not eating beef, or planting more marijuana plants than is legal  or driving expensive electric cars.

[3] A ‘market’ is thus established where these permits will be bought and sold and speculators and frauds can sell into this market and make big money.[10]

[4] The corps will buy these phony items and then find out that [a] they have a finite lifetime or [b] they need to buy more since the permitted carbon emissions limits increased. So, they will have to buy even more credits. Then more liberals will sell more credits and the cycle continues.

Now, what is the net effect of this? Money is transferred from the corporations to the lower classes.  Actually, production costs must rise with any tax or fee so there is no known benefit to anyone as most of the CO2 is natural in the first place and China and India and South America will not participate in this scam.  That leaves only 40% of the world to handle the whole problem. But, people like Al Gore will make billions! Here is the CO2 song from the recently humiliated University of East Anglia[11] and the UN’ IPCC attempt to tell us that all additional CO2 comes from deforestation and follies fuel burning. [12]

And, just to make it more juicy and more of a delight to the EcoNazis, your pathetic government just now announced [hours ago at this writing] that CO2 is a pollutant and is coming  up with an  "endangerment" finding by the Environmental Protection Agency.”

“An endangerment finding would allow the EPA to use the federal Clean Air Act to regulate carbon-dioxide emissions, which are produced whenever fossil fuel is burned. Under that law, the EPA could require emitters of as little as 250 tons of carbon dioxide per year to install new technology to curb their emissions starting as soon as 2012.”[13]-- Business Fumes Over Carbon Dioxide Rule

This all seems to come together like a syncretic assimilation of cannibalism and prostitution all made possible by liberal politics and phony science. Does marijuana smoke create more CO2? How about AIDS or snorting coke? Will we have to drain the swamps?

“Curbing greenhouse gases will be a much bigger and more complex task — but we’re likely to be surprised at how easy it is once we get started.”-- An Affordable Truth By Paul Krugman

This kind of surprise comes from fiddling with new crack pipes too. How easy it is to overdose! How friendly they are at rehab.

“So let’s hope my optimism about Copenhagen is justified. A deal there would save the planet at a price we can easily afford — and it would actually help us in our current economic predicament.”-- An Affordable Truth By Paul Krugman

What is the price in dollars Krugman and who pays for this? Oh, the consumer! Well, that is fine. He never talks costs when he wants more taxes.

This is a putrid lie. This is just another slimy Grunt and Grab tax scheme and a way for bigger government and inefficient business.  This is the kind of thinking that characterizes the Sacramento leadership in California[14][15][16], now heading for default and the social latrines among other things.

You wanted ‘change’ from Obama and you are going to get it and when this is though instead of money you will only change in your pockets.

 Cryptomisoxeny Explained by Theory and  Examples.

There are several mental afflictions that affect members of our society that are apart from those caused by exogenous germs or drug addiction. We have a host of rehabilitation facilities that deal with these afflictions although the general acceptance of Freudism has eased a bit since the late 50s. There are other mental aberrations that are deeply imbedded in our society and these maladies are responsible for many of our social problems.

Cryptomisoxeny is a mental condition in which a person is compelled to enlist in a valiant crusade to ferret out and squash such human notions such as bigotry, racism and hypocritism. The person with this disease is completely unaware of its presence and control of his actions and is deluded with the false or reverse notion that his or her conduct is actually the exact opposite from the unacceptable targeted conduct in others. Hence, those who rail and rant and search for bigots frequently use overt bigotry in their sanctimonious quest for the offenders and employ bigotry in its strictest definition to condemn other persons or groups. All this proceeds unconsciously as the bigots, in this case, believes that they are far above such a social defect and are some form of cleansing device for our society. Sanctamonicity is the ultimate internal psychosomatic reward as it draws rave reviews and wild applause from peers and others also burdened with this affliction and offers comfort and camaraderie.  The same argument holds for those who chase and attempt to correct racists using overt racism and, of course, this is hypocrisy, but a form  hypocrisy that is buried deeply in the id. [1]

Some examples follow:

Senator Obama said:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through theClinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not."

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."[2]

This comment was off-the-cuff [and confidential] and given freely in the apparent safety of liberal friends in California.

Now, this transcends a mere political analysis and identifies Senator Obama as a typical cryptomisoxenist. Here he creates a general characterization of an entire group of potential voters with predictable group behavior as harboring a conventional and clinical bitterness and reflexively directing this frustration toward others of different groups—i.e. not white or lower middle clayz—but toward immigrants or persons of color. This is racism. To this, he adds some criticisms in the form of gun addiction or other phallic symbol worship. He ultimately folds in ‘religion’ to a list of symptoms of this group as if this was a palliative that produced mixed results and in no way could change their outlook.  The lower-middle level whites are ignorant and tantalized by their guns and religion. These must be the ‘average white persons’ he talks about. The implication here is that they have been searching for a quarter century for a solution to their collective ailments and have yet to discover what that might be.

From Jesse Jackson, Jr. we read from 2003 about the ‘South.’

“Every Democrat has known since the civil rights movement that the party was becoming less competitive in the South because of race. Republicans have successfully exploited race (in proportion to black voting strength) since Richard Nixon's "Southern strategy" of 1968, by, among other things, using racial code words: Nixon's "law and order," Reagan's "states' rights" and "welfare queen," and the first George Bush's "Willie Horton."[3]

This comment parallels the views of Senator Obama and shows that ‘race’ is the problem in the South and that the opposition there has exploited racial differences in technical political terms.

From Al Sharpton:

"What’s wrong with denouncing white interlopers?"[4]

 We could inquire: what is wrong with denouncing black interlopers?

From Senator Schumer on the confirmation of judge Southwick:

““When it comes to the area of race and racism, we have to bend over backwards,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

 “I certainly don’t think he’s[Southwick] a racist,” Schumer added. “His words have to be seen in context. Like it or not when he’s nominated to the Fifth Circuit he’s carrying 200 and some odd years…on his back. That is the issue here.”[5]

So, judge Southwick is not exactly a racist but he carries two centuries of racism into his courtroom and that will guide some of his decisions? What do we do with Schumer’s words in or out of context? Senator Schumer would never consider himself to bea racist, but he employs the trappings of racism to demean a political opponent.

 From Bell Hooks in Killing Rage Ending Racism:

“I am writing this essay sitting beside an anonymous white
male that I long to murder.”[6]

From David Duke:

“European-Americans now have the National Organization for European American Rights, to actively defend their rights and heritage in the United States. 
 
I don't call myself a white supremacist. I'm a civil rights activist concerned about European-American rights.

 So was Huey Newton and George Jackson.

 “Our clear goal must be the advancement of the white race and separation of the white and black races. This goal must include freeing of the American media and government from subservient Jewish interests.”[7]

So, we can have an NAACP but the equivalent white group is not allowed. How about the JDL? La Raza?

From Howard Dean:

“You know, the Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. They're a pretty monolithic party. Pretty much, they all behave the same, and they all look the same. ... It's pretty much a white Christian party.'' --speaking about the lack of outreach to minority communities by political parties”[8]

 "I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks."

 “I hate Republicans and everything they stand for.”[9]

 “Hypocrisy is a value that I think has been embraced by the Republican Party. We get lectured by people all day long about moral values by people who have their own moral shortcomings.”

No hypocrisy here.

From Ted Kennedy:

"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police  could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, school children could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens of whom the judiciary is — and is often the only —protector of the individual rights that are at the heart of our democracy."[10]-- Ted Kennedy.

From President Truman in 1911

"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a ni**er from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion N*groes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America."-- Harry Truman (1911) in a letter to his future wife Bess”[11]

 From Louis Farrakhan a great man in the eyes of Jeremiah Wright:

"Now that nation called Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under his holy and righteous name." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, 1984

From Donna Brazile, fired by Dukakis for spreading lies:

"I will not let the white boys win in this election." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's Campaign Manager on the 2000 election [12]

From Willie Brown

"The old white boys got taken fair and square." -- San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown after winning an election [13]

From USA Today:

"There's no great, white bigot; there's just about 200 million little white bigots out there." -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux[14]

More from Al Sharpton:

"White folks was[sic] in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton[15]

Affect(ing) a black accent to recount San Francisco mayor Willie Brown asking) "Who is this "Emily List? She's supportin' all these people. She's supportin' Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She's supported Sen. Barbara Boxer....She supported everybody. Why won't she support me?" -- Hillary Clinton. Source: John Broder of the LA Times

"Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve's "ayz" while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him." -- Roger Clinton, the President's brother on audiotape

"You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." -- Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)

"Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars?" -- Song from the show of left-wing radio host Neil Rogers[16]

Black on Black

"In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master ... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture." -- Harry Belafonte

"Republicans bring out Colin Powell and J.C. Watts because they have no program, no policy. They have no love and no joy. They'd rather take pictures with black children than feed them." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's Campaign Manager for the 2000 election

(On Clarence Thomas) "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom." -- Spike Lee

"He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black." -- California State Senator Diane Watson's on Ward Connerly's interracial marriage

We can wonder if any of this collection might admit to the press that they are dedicated racists, hypocrites or bigots. There is no way that any form, however limited, of hypocrisy, over racism or bigotry will not be used to gain political power. Those who think that we are now apart and have risen above racism in the Obama contest suffer from the facts. Senator Obama and his wife both use racism as their prime political attribute. We can hear that we will condemn whites for racism for not voting for a black while our black candidate condemns whites are unsophisticated.

If none of these people will admit to their racism and bias against other groups then we can declare them all to be cryptomisoxenists.

This is the snarl of politics as it now stands. This is the way our system works and also the way every other political or social system works. We have racism, tribalism, bigotry, elitism and religious bias everywhere on this planet and the politicians will exploit as many of these human attributes as they can to grab power. Facts supported by observation.

Let us get back to reality.  Racism and bigotry and hypocrisy are intrinsic parts of our being.

Vote accordingly.
