Linux VS Windows 7
This isn't an in depth comparison of Windows and Linux, it is a quick overview of why I feel Linux is better than Windows. I know many people I talk to have been thinking about trying Linux so here are a few reasons.
The screenshot above is from my laptop. You see fancy transparency and effects like newest version of Windows - Windows 7 has, Linux has had this ability for a decade or so. Windows 7 provides these effects, but only on a brand spanking new & very fast machine. My laptop is from 2003. Windows XP runs "ok" on it, yet this fancy Linux runs much faster and is FREE.
My computer:
2003 Dell Inspiron 8600
1.4 ghz Intel Celeron CPU
1.5 GB DDR1 Ram
32mb nVidia Go 5200
333 mhz Front Side Bus.
Running Linux Mint 9 KDE
If my computer information doesn't make much sense to you just think that various bits in my laptop are 1/2 to almost as fast as one of those cheap $200 "netbooks". If Linux runs fast and smooth on a machine this old, just think of how it will work on anything new within the last few years.
Makes it seem like a load to pay a few hundred bux for Windows when it is slower, crashes often, gets viruses and other lame stuff that doesn't affect Linux. People say they want to buy a Apple because they don't have the problems windows does, but Apple OSX is based on Linux in the first place.
The ONE problem people have with Linux is that they cannot use Windows programs of games on it. Just like Apple Mac has all their own software that replaces your need for Most Windows programs, Linux does the same, but has MORE FREE SOFTWARE. If there is a Windows program you wish to keep using in Linux there is a 75% or so chance it will work using "WINE" which is a compatibility layer that sits between Linux and your windows program. It fools your program into thinking it is running on a Windows Computer.
Linux is free because it has a community that builds and fixes it, they do it to give something to the world, not to make money by selling you a crappy product. This same community acts as technical support to help solve problems people may have, or to guide new users through common issues. The main difference here is that these people are not here to SERVE you no matter how you treat them like customer service at a company you bought something from. These people help because they are nice and if you treat them like they owe you something or like you expect something from them they will just ignore you and ban you from their corners of the web.
Another reason I refuse to use Windows is that it is purposely sold with defects, problems, and security holes as well as having built in backdoors to let Microsoft and the Government into your computer to see what you are up to.
Choose Linux to make your old computer run better than new for free, and stop worrying about viruses.
People say that Linux is hard to learn or use, it is easier for many people than switching from Windows to Mac, or Mac to Windows.
Go to the Linux Mint Website to check out the Linux distro that I use (there are somewhere around 300 different versions called 'distributions').
If you have any questions the people in the forum are nice and happy to answer questions go to the Linux Mint Forums.

News: How to Destroy America
How to Destroy America
Article by Frosty Wooldridge
In Washington, DC, several weeks ago, an immigration-overpopulation conference was filled to capacity by many of America’s finest minds and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO's, representatives from Congress such as Tom Tancredo as well as former governors graced the podium. Bonnie Eggle, mother of the national parks ranger Kris Eggle, slain by Mexican drug runners last year on our unguarded southern border--gave a compelling speech that left not one dry eye in the place. Peter Gadiel, father of Jamie Gadiel, spoke powerfully on how the World Trade Center took his son and how nothing has been done since--to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States. Even with the facade of Tom Ridge's Homeland Security, 800,000 illegal aliens continue walking, crawling or tunneling across the Mexican border annually. Their accelerating numbers undermine America's ability to function.
During the conference, speaker after speaker astounded the audience with facts on how fast the present administration and congress continue dismantling the American Dream for average citizens. Mr. Rob Sanchez of Arizona, showed how H-1b and L-1 visas have ripped one million high tech jobs out of American worker's hands. Another speaker told a packed audience how 'offshoring' and 'outsourcing', fully supported by the president and congress have cost over three million American jobs in the past six years. His prediction was even more depressing: "In excess of three million more jobs will be 'outsourced' within four years. Those American jobs are headed to Mexico, India, China, Pakistan and Brazil."
Later, a brilliant college professor, Victor Davis Hansen, talked about his latest book, 'MEXIFORNIA', explaining how immigration, both legal and illegal, was destroying the entire State of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of the American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm, stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound by the eight methods for destruction of the United States.
Lamm said, "If you believe that America is too smug, to self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, "An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide."
"Here is how they destroyed their countries," Lamm said. "First, turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, "The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon-all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and Corsicans."
Lamm continued on how to destroy America, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds."
"We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY recently: " The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together."
Lamm added, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."
"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."
"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology'. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population."
"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other-that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks: "The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet, all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors…local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'unum, we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."
"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits-make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity'. I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century-that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate."
"Having made America a bilingual--bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology', I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: "That because immigration has been good for America, it must ALWAYS be good. I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. A profound silence swept over the room. Finally, he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hansen's book 'MEXIFORNIA'. His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book."
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity'. American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as greedy corporations create a Third World in America-take note of California and other states-to date, 10 million illegal aliens and growing, fast.
It reminded me of George Orwell's book, '1984'. In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength." I sat there as one of this country's most patriotic Americans, Governor Lamm, walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy, are deeply in trouble and worsening fast. An invasion of diseases, clashing cultures, languages, balkanization, mounting environmental dilemmas accelerate by the day. If this immigration monster isn't stopped within three years, it will rage across the United States like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially the American Dream.
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” –Noam Chomsky, American linguist and U.S. media and foreign policy critic.

News: Google's CEO: 'The Laws Are Written by Lobbyists' also 'Google policy is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it'
CEO of google admits what many of us have known for a long time, that SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS WRITE THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY, THE LAWS ARE NOT PASSED TO BENEFIT THE PEOPLE.
Also he says "We don't need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about."
===============================================
"The average American doesn't realize how much of the laws are written by lobbyists" to protect incumbent interests, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told Atlantic editor James Bennet at the Washington Ideas Forum. "It's shocking how the system actually works."
In a wide-ranging interview that spanned human nature, the future of machines, and how Google could have helped the stimulus, Schmidt said technology could "completely change the way government works."
"Washington is an incumbent protection machine," Schmidt said. "Technology is fundamentally disruptive." Mobile phones and personal technology, for example, could be used to record the bills that members of Congress actually read and then determine what stimulus funds were successfully spent.
Schmidt pushed back on the claim that the White House doesn't understand business. He acknowledged that the American business community distrusts the administration, but he said the criticism are mostly about tone. He also brushed off the idea that the White House needs more business executives as an argument about "symbolism" rather than substance.
On the hot topic of China versus America, he made an pithy distinction between what makes the world's leading powers uniquely successful. America is a bottoms-up entrepreneurial engine, and China is more like "a well-run large business."
"America's research universities are the envy on the world," he said. "We have 90 percent of the top researchers in the world. We also have a bizarre policy to train people and then kick them out by not giving them visas, which makes no sense at all."
China governs like a large industrial company, he added. "It wants to maximize its cash flow. It wants to maximize its internal and external demand. All of the interesting new ideas [for example, doubling down on solar tech] can be understood as a business expansion."
The end of the interview turned to the future of technology. When Bennet asked about the possibility of a Google "implant," Schmidt invoked what the company calls the "creepy line."
"Google policy is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it," he said. Google implants, he added, probably crosses that line.
At the same time, Schmidt envisions a future where we embrace a larger role for machines and technology. "With your permission you give us more information about you, about your friends, and we can improve the quality of our searches," he said. "We don't need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about."
Also he says "We don't need you to type at all. We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about."

Fuck-Ups - FU 82
One of the craziest bands to come out of the San Francisco bay area original punk scene. The Fuck Ups were banned from almost every venue they played or even stepped foot into. Singer Bob Noxious was well hated by all of the lame hippie-punk types in the area. I heard a story about a show they were booked to play in Hollywood at a record shop in '83 and the promoter wouldn't put them on because of their name, so they hooked their amps up in the alley out back and played their set out there. Right after the female backing vocalists known as the "fuckettes" robbed the liquor store down the street which would not allow punks in even as recently as 2004 when i tried to buy a bottle of whiskey there.

News: US Middle Class Is Vanishing
The American middle class is on the verge of disappearing, while the United States, itself, is in danger of becoming a third world country, a leading German newspaper says.
According to an article appearing in the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, the negative consequences of the global financial crisis include a widened social class rift and the elimination of the middle class in the US.
The article states that many Americans are beginning to realize that the American Dream has now become a nightmare as people are having to face the bitter reality of a shrinking job market along with decades of stagnating wages and dramatic increases in inequality.
More than a year after the official end of the recession, the overall unemployment rate remains consistently above 9.5 percent. But this is just the official figure.
When adjusted to include the people who have already given up looking for work — or are barely surviving on the few hundred dollars they earn with a part-time job and having to use their savings to supplement their income — the real unemployment figure jumps to more than 17 percent.
In its current annual report, the US Department of Agriculture notes that “food insecurity” is on the rise, and that 50 million Americans were unable to buy enough food to remain healthy at some point last year. One out of every eight
American adults and one out of four children now survive on government food stamps. These are unbelievable numbers for the world’s richest nation
Last week, leading online columnist Arianna Huffington issued the almost apocalyptic warning that “America is in danger of becoming a Third World country.”
In a recent cover story titled “So Long, Middle Class,” the New York Post presented its readers with “25 statistics that prove that the middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence in America.”

News: Intel CEO Blasts Obama Administration, Says Anti-Business Policies Are Killing The Country
Silicon Valley leans Democratic. Based on comments made by one of the Valley’s biggest hitters, that may be changing.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini got a lot off his chest at the Aspen Forum last night–with most of his frustration directed at the business-stifling policies of the Obama administration and the decline and fall of American competitiveness.
Here are some key quotes reported by CNET’s Declan McCullagh:
* “Unless government policies are altered… ‘the next big thing will not be invented here. Jobs will not be created here.’
* “The U.S. legal environment has become so hostile to business…that there is likely to be “an inevitable erosion and shift of wealth, much like we’re seeing today in Europe–this is the bitter truth.’”
* “Not long ago…’our research centers were without peer. No country was more attractive for start-up capital… We seemed a generation ahead of the rest of the world in information technology. That simply is no longer the case.’”
* “Otellini singled out the political state of affairs in Democrat-dominated Washington, saying: ‘I think this group does not understand what it takes to create jobs. And I think they’re flummoxed by their experiment in Keynesian economics not working.’ ”
* “If our tax rate approached that of the rest of the world, corporations would have an incentive to invest here,” Otellini said. But instead, it’s the second highest in the industrialized world, making the United States a less attractive place to invest–and create jobs–than places in Europe and Asia that are “clamoring” for Intel’s business."

News: ‘Islamization’ of Paris a Warning to the West
Posted by EU Times on Sep 2nd, 2010 // No Comment
Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force.
This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.
It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban the burqa, other parts of the French government continue to give Islam a privileged status.
An ordinary French citizen who has been watching the Islamization of Paris decided that the world needed to see what was happening to his city. He used a hidden camera to start posting videos on YouTube. His life has been threatened and so he uses the alias of “Maxime Lepante. ”
Lepante’s View
His camera shows that Muslims “are blocking the streets with barriers. They are praying on the ground. And the inhabitants of this district cannot leave their homes, nor go into their homes during those prayers.”
“The Muslims taking over those streets do not have any authorization. They do not go to the police headquarters, so it’s completely illegal,” he says.
The Muslims in the street have been granted unofficial rights that no Christian group is likely to get under France’s Laicite’, or secularism law.
“It says people have the right to share any belief they want, any religion,” Lepante explained. “But they have to practice at home or in the mosque, synagogues, churches and so on.”
Some say Muslims must pray in the street because they need a larger mosque. But Lepante has observed cars coming from other parts of Paris, and he believes it is a weekly display of growing Muslim power.
“They are coming there to show that they can take over some French streets to show that they can conquer a part of the French territory,” he said.
France’s Islamic Future?
If France faces an Islamic future, a Russian author has already written about it. The novel is called “The Mosque of Notre Dame, 2048,” a bestseller in Russia, not in France.
French publisher Jean Robin said the French media ignored the book because it was politically incorrect.
“Islam is seen as the religion of the poor people, so you can’t say to the poor people, ‘You’re wrong,’ otherwise, you’re a fascist,” Robin explained.
The book lays out a dark future when France has become a Muslim nation, and the famous cathedral has been turned into a mosque.
Whether that plot is farfetched depends on whom you ask. Muslims are said to be no more than 10 percent of the French population, although no one knows for sure because French law prohibits population counts by religion.
But the Muslim birthrate is significantly higher than for the native French. Some Muslim men practice polygamy, with each extra wife having children and collecting a welfare check.
“The problem of Islam is more than a problem of numbers,” said French philosopher Radu Stoenescu, an Islamic expert who debates Muslim leaders on French TV. “The problem is one of principles. It’s an open question. Is Islam an ideology or just a creed?”
“It doesn’t matter how many there are,” he aded. “The problem is the people who follow Islam; they’re somehow in a political party, which has a political agenda, which means basically implementing Sharia and building an Islamic state.”
In Denial or Fed Up
From the 1980s until recently, criticizing or opposing Islam was considered a social taboo, and so the government and media effectively helped Islam spread throughout France.
“We were expecting Islam to adapt to France and it is France adapting to Islam,” Robin said.
About the burqa controversy, one French Muslim man told a reporter that Europeans should respect Muslim dress. One Parisian woman wearing a headscarf said “the veil is in the Koran” and “we only submit to God and nobody else.”
But even if many government elites are in France are in denial over Islam, the people in the streets increasingly are not. Some have become fed up with what they see as the growing Islamization of France.
They’ve started staging pork and wine “aperitifs,” or cocktail parties in the street. They’re patriotic demonstrations meant to strike back against Islam. Another national demonstration is planned for Saturday, Sept. 4.
A Warning to the West
The French parliament is expected to debate the burqa law in September. Jean-Francois Cope, president of the Union for a Popular Movement political party, has a warning for the West and for America.
“We cannot accept the development of such practice because it’s not compatible with the life in a modern society, you see,” he said. “And this question is not only a French question. You will all have to face this challenge. ”

News: Globalization, Unemployment, and the Death of American Industry
Globalization and greed have gutted America’s manufacturing industry and has caused the loss of over 15 million high-paying manufacturing jobs to the Far East in less than two decades.
Our legendary manufacturing base, which laid the foundation of our nation’s strength, is on its death bed with fewer than 10 percent of American workers now employed in manufacturing, the lowest figure since the Industrial Revolution.
By way of comparison, as recently as the 1970s, about 25 percent of American workers were employed in manufacturing. The cause is simple: “cheap” labor costs in the Far East have seen one major manufacturer after another move their plants to that part of the world, leaving American workers high and dry and expected to make a living from service industries alone.
As any sane economist should know, a service-based economy has a limited lifespan. To paraphrase Atlanta lawyer Sam Dickson, we are not going to survive forever by giving each other back rubs.
Sooner or later the reality will have to be faced: an economy that does not manufacture anything is not viable over the long term as a consumer society.
Eventually, disposable income runs out, and when it does, the “service” economy stops being serviced.
So why are manufacturing jobs vanishing to the Far East? The simple reason is cost.
It costs less to manufacture a product in a country where there is an abundant and relatively skilled workforce and where vast overpopulation creates a competition for jobs that forces wages down to a fraction of what they are here.
This manufacturing cost is what corporations call “global competitiveness” and is the reason they proffer for their outsourcing moves.
It is cheaper to employ workers in a country where there are no unions, health benefits, 401Ks, and where people do not have mortgages to pay.
A 2005 study by the universities of Cornell and Massachusetts-Amherst indicated that more than 700,000 jobs which should be in America have been outsourced to India.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which was supposed to benefit our nation, has instead seen Mexico became a major recipient of outsourced U.S. manufacturing jobs.
This is why Mexico is now a global leader in auto parts manufacturing and one of the world’s largest TV set producers.
The Central American Free Trade Area (CAFTA) has seen another exodus of U.S. jobs. Household names such as Dell, IBM, Sara Lee/Hanes and Maytag have already moved some parts of their operations into Central America.
America now imports twice as much as it exports, which is one of the major reasons for the ballooning trade deficit.
The collapse of the manufacturing industry will therefore make America poorer. As more manufacturers move abroad, the flow of money out of the country will exceed the benefits of cheap imports.
Then, at some point, the trade deficit will become overwhelming and standards of living will start declining. In fact, they already have.
The American Third Position argues that it is wrong to surrender American ingenuity and manufacturing expertise overseas in order that the wealthy elite might profit, selling competitive advantage that belongs to us all - technology and know-how that was built on the backs of generations of American workers and thinkers.
We therefore believe that it is necessary to restrict the importation of certain goods and to protect American industry. Wherever possible, we will take measures to ensure that the goods we consume are made by American hands, in American factories.

News: U.S. Department of Labor Blackmails Companies That Do Not Discriminate Against Whites
The United States Department of Labor (DOL) has an entire department devoted to blackmailing federal contractors into paying millions of dollars to nonwhites if they do not give job preference to blacks or Hispanics over whites.
The shocking state of affairs has come to light with the news that the second-largest bottler of Coca-Cola products in the nation, NC-based Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated, has been forced by the DOL to pay out $495,000 to settle a federal case in which blacks and Hispanics merely claimed to be have been overlooked for jobs.
The money is for “back wages” plus interest to 95 black and Hispanic applicants who applied for sales positions in 2002.
In addition, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, which is a separate entity from the manufacturer of that drink, has agreed to offer jobs to those applicants until at least 23 are hired.
The ruling came about after the DOL’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs or OFCCP, under the directorship of Patricia Shiu, ruled that nonwhite applicants were not being hired at the same rate as qualified white applicants by the private company.
Faced with an endless lawsuit and possible loss of their federal contractor status, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company gave in and paid up, despite issuing a statement denying the charges completely.
“The company agreed to the settlement, but admits no wrongdoing in the case,” read an official state issued by Alison Patient, director of corporate affairs at the company.
“Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated did not and does not discriminate against any person for any reason,” the statement said. “There were legitimate non-discriminatory reasons for not hiring certain applicants who are the subject of this claim.”
Ms. Shiu, who has a long background in litigation for all manner of spurious “discrimination” claims (which always consist of white people being blamed for nonwhite problems) said in her official reaction that “being a federal contractor is a privilege that comes with an obligation to ensure equal opportunity in employment.”
The obvious implicit threat — that if the Coca-Cola Bottling Company did not instantly give in to these outrageous demands, it would lose its federal contractor status — is a deeply disturbing development which is little short of blackmail.
According to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) “Interim Guidance on the use of Race and Ethnic Categories in Affirmative Action Programs,” all employers, including federal contractors, are required to report data about the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of their workforces.
The reports must break down workforce data into nine job categories and six race and ethnic categories. The racial categories are:
- Two or more races;
- Asian;
- Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
- Blacks;
- Hispanics; and
- American Indians/Alaskan Natives.
Furthermore, the OFCCP website informs us, Executive Order 11246 “requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to ensure that equal opportunity is provided in all aspects of their employment.”
This means that OFCCP’s jurisdiction covers approximately 26 million or nearly 22 percent of the total civilian workforce.
“Affirmative action is necessary to prevent discrimination and to address stereotypical thinking and biases that still impede employment opportunity,” the website says, making the usual assumption that all whites are racist and that the only reason why nonwhites don’t do any better is because all whites are inherently evil and racist.
* According to her official biography on the DOL website, prior to being appointed Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs by President Obama, Ms. Shiu served as the Vice President for Programs at the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center in San Francisco.
There she had worked on “primarily employment discrimination, including sex, LGBT, national origin, disability and race-based discrimination and harassment individual and class action cases.”
She has also received the overtly racially-based “Pacific Asian American Bay Area Coalition’s Women Warrior Award” during her career. Observers have speculated if someone who had won a “Western European American Bay Area Coalition’s Women Warrior Award” would have been appointed to a senior federal position. Unlikely is not the word.

News: Anti-White Hatred Reaching New Zenith
Government anti-white hostility and pressure from the Obama-backed NAACP are the reasons why the Black Panthers who racially abused and threatened whites outside a Philadelphia polling station were not prosecuted, two former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials have revealed.
According to Christopher Coates, former voting chief for the department’s Civil Rights Division, the “Justice Department is ignoring civil rights cases that involve white victims and wrongly abandoned a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party last year” and is committing a “travesty of justice.”
Mr. Coates detailed how the DOJ “cultivates a hostile atmosphere against race-neutral enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.”
He said that civil rights attorneys only take up cases representing non-white victims and that the Philadelphia Black Panther case was dismissed “following pressure by the NAACP” and “anger” within the Justice Department.
“That anger was the result of their deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of white voters who have been discriminated against,” Mr. Coates said.
He added that a 2005 case against a black official in Mississippi over voter intimidation claims had stirred a “backlash in the department” and “from civil rights groups” in exactly the same way that the New Black Panther case had.
The New Black Panther members were videotaped outside a Philadelphia polling place in 2008 dressed in black uniforms brandishing a billy club and shouting racial insults in support of then candidate Barrack Obama.
Initially charged with intimidation, the case was dismissed last year after the department got one of the New Black Panther members to agree not to carry a “deadly weapon” near a polling place until 2012.
Mr. Coates pointed out the obvious, namely that the reasons given for dismissing the case were “extraordinarily strange” and “weak” after another of the Black Panther members was let off the hook because a local police officer had determined he was a Democratic Party poll watcher.
He urged the commission to consider what would have been said if the Panthers had been members of the Ku Klux Klan.
“To understand the rationale of these articulated reasons for gutting this case … one only has to state the facts in the racial reverse,” he said.
In July this year, former Justice official J. Christian Adams testified that his former employer showed “hostility” toward cases that involved white victims and black defendants.
The NAACP, which Mr. Coates pinpointed as a key player in the moves to get the Black Panther case squashed, is a firm ally of President Obama and he has addressed that body numerous times, never missing the opportunity to fan the flames of hatred against white people.
For example, in July 2009, President Obama blamed whites for “societal ills” affecting the black community, saying the “legacy of the Jim Crow era is still felt, albeit in different ways today.”
“Make no mistake, no mistake: the pain of discrimination is still felt in
America,” Mr. Obama said, “by African-American women who are paid less for the same work as white men, by Latinos “made to feel unwelcome,” by Muslim Americans “viewed with suspicion” and by “our gay brothers and sisters, still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights.”
“More than 50 years after the Supreme Court’s landmark segregation case, Brown v. Board of Education, the dream of a world-class education is still being deferred all across this country” as black students lag behind white classmates in reading and math.
Given that sort of rhetoric, it is little wonder that anti-white attitudes are spreading throughout government departments.
The American Third Position intends to organize white Americans politically to meet this challenge to the future of our nation head-on, and needs your help today.

News: Too Many White Jurors In New York
There are too many white jurors in New York and, with effect from last week, all would-be jury members are screened to make sure that they are of the “correct” nonwhite race before being allowed to carry out their duties.
The incredible policy — which would have provoked a torrent of accusations of “racism” had it been set up to reduce the number of nonwhite jurors — has been implemented in accordance with Judiciary Law 528, passed by the state legislature earlier this year.
The law was passed because of a 2006 Citizen Action–New York study which suggested that nonwhites are “significantly underrepresented in civil jury pools.”
Instead of addressing that issue — possibly because the answer to the obvious question is so unpalatable — it is much easier for liberals to simply outlaw too many whites from doing civic duty.
The new law requires all people showing up for jury duty in New York to fill out a questionnaire that asks for their race and ethnic background.
The irony of this seems to have been lost on the liberal legislators who, on the one hand almost to a man deny that race even exists, or claim it is a “social construct,” while on the other, they fail to grasp that it is extreme racial discrimination, to which they all claim to be opposed.
According to reports, guidance sent out by the state Office of Court Administration says that jury commissioners must hand out the information cards to jurors.
The guidance goes on to say that the commissioners must tell the jurors that the law obliges them to collect the data, with the relevant law printed on the back of the card.
Interestingly, the official guidance formally instructs the commissions not to say anything else about that card or why it is being distributed.
Furthermore, the guidance continues, commissioners are “not to offer any opinions on why the data is being collected.”
The questions ask if the juror is male or female; year of birth; if they are of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin, with different boxes for different countries of origin; and race, with 15 options including “other” with a space for write-ins.
The law is yet another example of the poison of institutionalized anti-white racism which has been allowed and encouraged to spread all over the country.
The American Third Position exists to give political voice to white Americans to challenge these blatantly unjust laws.

News: Mexico and Its Policy on Immigrants
How many people are aware that immigrants in Mexico have NO guaranteed rights. I'm not talking about illegal immigrants, in Mexico they are thrown directly in prison. I mean legal immigrants................. The illegals who come over here fly Mexican flags in support of Mexico, yet they attack us for having less extreme laws regarding immigration than their own country?
The Mexican government’s support for illegal immigrants invading America is nothing less than staggering hypocrisy when compared to Mexico’s immigration laws which have the specific aim of ensuring that its racial and demographic content remains undisturbed.
A review of Mexican immigration laws and regulations shows that Mexico exercises strict control over who enters that country and is designed to ensure that Mexico remains Mexican — yet that nation and the supporters of illegal immigration into America refuse to grant our nation that same right.
The Mexican laws which govern immigration are twofold, namely the Mexican constitution and the immigration law, known as the Ley General de Población, or “General Law on Population.”
The Mexican constitution, for example:
- Forbids “foreigners” from gaining employment in the state service at the expense of Mexican citizens;
- States that all officers in the Mexican armed forces be Mexican by birth;
- States that any non-Mexican can be expelled simply by order of the executive without recourse to appeal;
- States that “foreigners” are specially forbidden from taking part in politics, and
- States that that only Mexican citizens can acquire property rights in Mexico.
Chapter II, Article 2e of the Mexican constitution says that “Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government.”
Furthermore, that same clause says that in “order to belong to the National Navy or the Air Force, and to discharge any office or commission, it is required to be a Mexican by birth. This same status is indispensable for captains, pilots, masters, engineers, mechanics, and in general, for all personnel of the crew of any vessel or airship protected by the Mexican merchant flag or insignia It is also necessary to be Mexican by birth to discharge the position of captain of the port and all services of pratique and airport commandant, as well as all functions of customs agent in the Republic.”
Chapter III, Article 33 of the Mexican constitution says that the Mexican Executive has the right to “compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.”
In other words, a non-Mexican can be expelled without recourse of any sort simply by order of the president of Mexico.
Furthermore, that same clause states that “foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.”
As if that was not enough, Article 33 goes to say that only Mexicans “have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters.”
Furthermore, that section continues, “Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country.”
The Ley General de Población, or General Law on Population, expands further on these guidelines of preserving Mexico’s national character and specifically states that its intention is to keep Mexico Mexican.
This clause is contained in Article 37 (II) which states that foreigners are barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” (Exact wording: “Artículo 37.- II.- Lo exija el equilibrio demográfico nacional.”)
It is clear that “national demographics” means the existing nature and structure of Mexican society. In other words, immigration which in any way changes the nature of Mexican demographics is specifically outlawed by Mexican law.
Furthermore, Article 37 goes on to say that foreigners can also be expelled if they are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.”
Foreigners are, Article 32 states, only to be admitted to Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.”
In other words, immigrants are only allowed in if it can be proven beyond doubt that they have something to contribute, and not if they just manage to enter the country.
Article 34 goes on to make it compulsory that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents.
The clause in the Mexican constitution which grants the executive the right of expulsion of any foreigners they do not like is repeated in Article 38 of the Ley General de Población, which grants the Secretary of Governance the ability to “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.”
In a further act of irony (when compared to the fuss over the Arizona immigration law), Article 73 of the Ley General de Población also legally obliges all Mexican local authorities to cooperate with federal authorities to combat illegal immigration.
Article 116 makes it a felony to be an illegal immigrant and anyone caught entering Mexico with fake papers or under false pretenses is subject to imprisonment.
Article 118 mandates imprisonment for up to 10 years for any foreigner who is deported from Mexico and attempts to re-enter without authorization.
Articles 119, 120 and 121 mandates imprisonment for up to six years for any foreigner who violates the terms of a holiday or any sort of visa.
Article 123 says that a “penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.”
There is no system of appeals. Article 125 states that foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned and Article 126 states that all foreigners who disturbs or threatens “national sovereignty or security” will be deported.
Article 127 states that any Mexican citizen who helps illegal aliens to enter the country are also classified as felons and are subject to imprisonment of up to five years.
These then are the laws which Mexico has — and when even a feeble attempt is made to emulate them in the U.S., the Mexicans object furiously and make accusations of “racism.”
For example, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon addressed Congress this year in May, he objected to the Arizona immigration law on the grounds that it “ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree,” and warned of the risk when “core values we all care about are breached.”
Mr Calderon — and the Congress which applauded his speech — simply ignored the fact that the core of the Arizona law is embodied in Article 73 of the Mexican Ley General de Población.
The time has come to end the hypocrisy surrounding Mexico and illegal immigration. Mexico has the right to enforce immigration controls which preserve the nature and makeup of Mexican society — but America has that right as well.

News: Postindustrial America, Shocking Statistics
The United States is becoming the very first “postindustrial” nation on the globe and is on the brink of serious economic collapse, an insightful article on BlackListedNews.com has revealed.
This blog is not affiliated with the source of this article.
Source: http://american3p.org/establishment-news/postindustrial-america-shocking-statistics/
In a piece entitled “19 Facts About The Deindustrialization Of America That Will Blow Your Mind,” BLN contributing writer Michael Snyder incisively pointed out a number of indicators which show that America is, in his words, “in deep trouble” as a result of the collapse of the manufacturing base of the economy.
The 19 facts which Mr Snyder points out are so pertinent and valid that they deserve far wider publicity. They are as follows:
1. The United States has lost approximately 42,400 factories since 2001. About 75 percent of those factories employed over 500 people when they were still in operation.
2. Dell Inc., one of America’s largest manufacturers of computers, has announced plans to dramatically expand its operations in China with an investment of over $100 billion over the next decade.
3. Dell has announced that it will be closing its last large U.S. manufacturing facility in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in November. Approximately 900 jobs will be lost.
4. In 2008, 1.2 billion cellphones were sold worldwide. So how many of them were manufactured inside the United States? Zero.
5. According to a new study conducted by the Economic Policy Institute, if the U.S. trade deficit with China continues to increase at its current rate, the U.S. economy will lose over half a million jobs this year alone.
6. As of the end of July, the U.S. trade deficit with China had risen 18 percent compared to the same time period a year ago.
7. The United States has lost a total of about 5.5 million manufacturing jobs since October 2000.
8. According to Tax Notes, between 1999 and 2008 employment at the foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies increased an astounding 30 percent to 10.1 million. During that exact same time period, U.S. employment at American multinational corporations declined 8 percent to 21.1 million.
9. In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of U.S. economic output. In 2008, it represented 11.5 percent.
10. Ford Motor Company recently announced the closure of a factory that produces the Ford Ranger in St. Paul, Minnesota. Approximately 750 good paying middle class jobs are going to be lost because making Ford Rangers in Minnesota does not fit in with Ford’s new “global” manufacturing strategy.
11. As of the end of 2009, less than 12 million Americans worked in manufacturing. The last time less than 12 million Americans were employed in manufacturing was in 1941.
12. In the United States today, consumption accounts for 70 percent of GDP. Of this 70 percent, over half is spent on services.
13. The United States has lost a whopping 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.
14. In 2001, the United States ranked fourth in the world in per capita broadband Internet use. Today it ranks 15th.
15. Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry is actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.
16. Printed circuit boards are used in tens of thousands of different products. Asia now produces 84 percent of them worldwide.
17. The United States spends approximately $3.90 on Chinese goods for every $1 that the Chinese spend on goods from the United States.
18. One prominent economist is projecting that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040.
19. The U.S. Census Bureau says that 43.6 million Americans are now living in poverty and according to them that is the highest number of poor Americans in the 51 years that records have been kept.
Even more worryingly, Mr. Snyder reveals that trash is now America’s number one export.
“Do you know what our biggest export is today? Waste paper. Yes, trash is the number one thing that we ship out to the rest of the world as we voraciously blow our money on whatever the rest of the world wants to sell to us,” he wrote.
“The United States has become bloated and spoiled and our economy is now just a shadow of what it once was.
“Once upon a time America could literally outproduce the rest of the world combined,” Mr. Snyder said.
“Today that is no longer true, but Americans sure do consume more than anyone else in the world.
“If the deindustrialization of America continues at this current pace, what possible kind of a future are we going to be leaving to our children?”
