IT'S ONE THING FOR THE McCAIN/PALIN CAMPAIGN TO URGE ITS SUPPORTERS TO TONE DOWN THE VITRIOL AND START PLAYING NICE with their dominant opponent, Democratic Presidential wannabe Barack Obama.

Still, though, Your Correspondent feels that "actions speak louder than words;" hence, there may be the possibility that the sleaze and vitriol may return in this the final fortnight or so before Indecision 2008. Hence, all the more importance of remembering that YOUR vote, and YOURS ALONE, makes all the more difference to where Our Beloved Nation will be heading into the 21st century.

Whether we will remain Land of the Free ... or whether we risk becoming usurped by the New World Order.

For one thing, Your Correspondent is inclined to concur with Treasury Secretary Paulson's suggestion that isolatinist and protectionist policies, and related articles of faith, will only make the danger of socioeconomic meltdown worse.

Not to mention the potential for Certain Very Dangerous Elements exploiting same for their own perverted purposes and ends.

MEANHILE, TO HIS CANADIAN READERS, YOUR CORRESPONDENT EXTENDS TO THEM BEST WISHES on this their Day of Thanksgiving.

Or, if you prefer it in French, la Fête de l'Action de graces.

Never mind that we Americans have to wait until 27 November to celebrate their Thanksgiving this year.

*************

MEANWHILE, GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO GO INTO FREEFALL AND OIL PRICES HAVE FALLEN BELOW $100/BBL in response to the prevailing climate of socioeconomic turmoil and uncertainty heading into Indecision.

As for Winona, gas prices, by Unwritten Gentleman's Agreement, are now @ $2.799/gallon (73.9¢/litre) for regular unleaded, $2.819/gallon (74.4¢/litre) for super unleaded and $2.919/gallon (77.1¢/litre) for premium unleaded; E85, thanks to subsidies, sells @ $2.199/gallon (58¢/litre).

(Remember, the per-litre price is based on 3.785 litres=1 United States gallon, and should be used primarily for comparison, especially in such countries where gasoline is sold by the litre. After all, this is the World Wide Web, is it not?)

ONE OF THE MORE RHETORICAL QUESTIONS BEING ASKED IN THE ELECTORAL RUNUP FOR NOTHING LESS THAN PURE, UNADULTERATED "SWIFT-BOATING" PURPOSES from the 527 fraternity of the weird and unwholesome is "Who can you trust with the economy?"

I would have to say "Trick question!!!" in view of the ad being presented by a "swift-boating" group whose associations with the Zealots and True Believers in free-market capitalism-as-Great-White-Father (Good Christians All, remember?) are inherent. And would stop @ nothing until their ultimate article of faith is achieved: No less than complete and final regulatory relief, to be based instead solely on Self-Regulatory, Industry-Specific Codes of Good Practice.

Said Codes, on closer reading, actually serving to excuse cartel behaviour @ expense of both consumers and business equally ... howbeit by having to sugar-coat the intentions therefor with code and weasel words about such things as "preventing unhealthy and destructive competition" and "protecting traditional market share" in ways not even the most notorious of all cartels, Nazi Germany's IG Farben, could have dreamed of.

And all the while still insisting that low taxes=jobs=social order.

Not to mention seeing among other Articles of Faith held dear the belief in achieving a theoretical nil rate of unemployment within the paradigms and constraints of a free-market, self-regulated, capitalist socioeconomic model (cf. Communist propaganda forever insisting that mass unemployment would be one of capitalism's failings, that they had finally achieved nil-rate unemployment--unaware all along that such considered what amounted to "make-work" jobs to create the aura of nil-rate unemployment, let alone the use of forced and convict labour).

(Come to think of it: Can you Zealots and True Believers in the Ayn Rand vein name just one "developed" soverign state where such a concept actually works in fact and in deed? And what could America learn therefrom? Or what exactly stands in the way?)

*************

FROM THE "WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?" DEPARTMENT, via The Capital Times (cyberspace, via Madison, Wisconsin), comes these comments in editorial form about overdoing it on the paeans for a faltering candidate to reinforce its endorsement of the opposition:

The Wisconsin State Journal says: "John McCain is a great American. He would make a fine president. McCain is impressively steeled to say 'no' to runaway government spending and commitments that could lead America to financial ruin."

That absurd statement, contained in its presidential endorsement on Sunday, was meant to soften the blow to readers of the conservative newspaper who had expected a full-fledged endorsement of the Republican nominee for president.

Instead, the State Journal made the only available choice and backed Democrat Barack Obama. At a point when McCain is discrediting himself and his party, he is unworthy of support -- by Democrats, independents or Republicans.

Yet the State Journal suggests McCain would make "a fine president" and pins it on the fantasy that the senator from Arizona is some kind of fiscal conservative.

The truth is that McCain backed the Bush/Cheney administration's high-deficit, high-debt, bridge-to-bankruptcy approach more than 90 percent of the time.

Worse yet, he has championed the radical deregulation agenda that created the current financial meltdown.

And what has McCain's response been to the crisis of the moment?

He backed the flawed $850 billion bailout and pork bill that was designed to flood more taxpayer money into the accounts of the nation's most irresponsible bankers and investors.

In fairness, Obama made the same mistake.

But then McCain added insult to injury by proposing a mortgage-restructuring scheme that would reward bad bankers with as much as $300 billion more. And he continued to promote privatization of Social Security, along lines that gamble (and lose) the retirement security of Americans on flawed and dysfunctional "investments."

The suggestion that McCain would make a "fine president" is ridiculous.

The suggestion that there is a fiscal responsibility argument for McCain is madness.

It is, as well, a dangerous deception that cannot be allowed to stand.

Sooooo: "Whose side are YOU on," readers?

SPEAKING OF THE "PARANOIA" IMAGE @ THE HEAD OF THIS ITEM, such could best serve as an illustration of what the most extreme specimens of Poor White Trash hubris and arrogance fear all the more in case Barack Obama wins the Presidency come November:

Videlicet, the prospect of the White European-American Working Classes being shipped off to "reeducation camps" as are really closer to concentration camps not unlike those set up by the British during the Boer War to deal with the Afrikaner Peoples, memories of which are no doubt ingrained in the inner consciousness of Unreconstructed Afrikanerdom even after the end of apartheid.

Only in this case, the tortures, beatings, humiliation and fear would be carried out by National Minorities living the worst fears and paranoias of "white trash" since time immemorial, with particular emphasis and attention of the abusers being directed @ the yarbles of the imprisoned.

Preferably through such shows of sadisto ultraviolence guaranteed to maximise pain and suffering ... crass "experiments" whose sole purpose is discovering what would happen in cases of the old miscegenation (as in interracial sexual relations) ... not to mention castrations performed without the common courtesy of local anesthsia, the better so gangrene can kill off the victims all the easier and sooner.

Especially when the pain and suffering involves brass knuckles, billyclubs, truncheons, steel-toe bovver boots, knees--in short, such implements of mayhem sure to maximise same.

As for why the yarbles would be especially targeted, consider the argument such specimens of hubris would have about "maintaining racial honour, purity and integrity," notwithstanding where animal-breeding experience teaches us that attempts to create a race of "pure-breds" will, over time, translate into increased risk for undesirable traits of breed being all the more obvious.

In turn translating into genetic harm.

Hence, my advice to such "white trash" fearing such a prospect: Get over it. And start realising the likelihood of a President of colour. And like it for once. Only resorting to Al Cohol for "comfort" will only make things worse, even heighten the paranoia as above.

FOR SOMEONE WITH A FAMILY HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE AND ACCELERATED RISK OF CHOLESTEROL, Your Correspondent cannot help but become rather fond of Haagen-Dazs Sticky Toffee Pudding Ice Cream from time to time.

Fond enough for reasons unclear to moi that he can't help but devour a whole pint thereof in one sitting. (In my own defence, I will acknowledge where, on doctor's advice, I have a pot of yoghurt in lieu of one meal every day, usually lunch.)

*************

IMAGINE THIS, IF YOU WILL, AS PERHAPS THE CLOSEST TO A "PURE" DOLPHIN ENCOUNTER, one as is closest to natural as possible:

I acknowledge having the occasional fantasies from time to time about some Polynesian archipelago hitherto unknown to the effects of civilisation, surrounded by rather beautiful coral reefs amongst clear and sparkling waters and populated by natives with traditional Polynesian frankness vis-a-vis sexuality and nudity, being its own natural "dolphin encounter."

Where, for some reason, the trust between human and dolphin is of such a pure and beautiful nature that, even in their traditional nakedness while diving underwater (which the natives learn practically from birth), the local dolphin pods treat the locals with respect and trust ... and the dolphins return the favour by encouraging the natives to swim along with said dolphins and allowing the natives to witness their matings out of friendship and trust.

Not to mention the prospect of such friendships between human and dolphin tending @ times to the sensual, as if reinforcing such trust and friendship (as a matter of fact, many who have studied dolphin beahviour have discovered that, after awhile of getting acquainted with their handlers, dolphins will try to use sexual means to further establish the bond, much to the annoyance of such who would consider such a resort "perverted and unnatural").

Breathes there a more natural sort of dolphin encounter?

YOUR CORRESPONDENT HATH IT THAT FORMER CUBAN COMMUMIST LEADER FIDEL CASTRO HAS BEEN QUOTED AS OBSERVING WHERE THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHITE AMERICANS are unlikely to vote for Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama solely because he's of colour--in other words, "not one of us" (as in the presumably "morally superior" White European-American Low Church Christian, poor, undereducated, easily-influenced and vulnerable to dangerous suggestion).

Nor, for that matter, are the majority of Americans going to vote for John McCain because of his "bellicose and belligerent" temper, made all the more notorious thanks to hyperfanaticism stoked @ campaign rallies by potentially weird and unwholesome elements.

Leaving Your Correspondent wondering if this means, per Castro's reasoning tending to illogic (if you could call it so), that "Right-Thinking Americans" will more than likely consider, largely out of symbolic feelings of Racial Honour and Pride above all else, the likes of third-party Presidential candidates such as:

• independent Ralph Nader;
• Libertarian candidate Rob Barr; or
• Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin.

And expect especially the lowest of the low, still thinking of themselves as True Americans ("home folks," as it were) as will Reclaim America From Herself, considering (seriously) casting ballots for Baldwin in particular as a protest vote more than anything. This all the while unaware that the Constitution Party's articles of faith call for essentially a theocratic regime whereby the President is reduced to a superdivine "Prophet, Seer and Revelator" receiving Divine Revelation which Congress is expected to "rubberstamp" for the mere formality of approval--and the Supreme Court replaced by a Council of Elders dominated, for the most part, by weird and unwholesome religious in the Low Church stylee of theology as are, for the most part, alcoholics, drug addicts, sex maniacs, chronic and habitual gamblers and spendthrifts or sufferers from loathsome mental diseases (including such as are byproducts of loathsome social diseases themselves--especially so gonorrhea).

=============

BUT THEN AGAIN, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME IN THE RACIST AND WHITE CHRISTIAN SUPREMACIST COMMUNITY who would love to see Obama ensured victory come November; the better to "encourage a renewed sense of racial consciousness and pride among European-American peoples" as would be up there with apartheid South Africa claiming aparteheid was essential to the defence of Afrikaner Pride and Heritage ... and that the defence of Afrikaner Culture, Heritage and Values required the perpetuation of apartheid "by whatever means necessary."

IIRC, nowhere in the Organic Constitution, or its subsequent amendments, is there to found any sort of racially-qualifying language, express or implied, when it comes to qualifications for the several Constitutional offices--or even the "rights and bnefits" so ennumerate.

=============

MAKING THINGS EVE MORE COMPELLING WHEN IT COMES TO THE NEED OF VOTING COME NOVEMBER, as if such mattered for the defence of Our Antient and Pecuilar Soverignty and Soverign Identity (which looks to be the case), is the news that the Reform Party, itself having a rather notorious legacy of association with racists, anti-Semites and others weird and unwholesome, has endorsed the McCain/Palin Presidential ticket in view of where their articles of faith are in line with those of the Reform Party.

(As a matter of fact, it was the sheer extent of racist feelings as led the Minnesota branch, thanks to then-Governor Jesse Ventura, to break away and restyle themselves as the Independence Party several years back.)

AND CONTINUING THE GRAND TRADITION ESTABLISHED BY GRACIE ALLEN'S MOCK PRESIDENTIAL BID ON THE SURPRISE PARTY'S "TICKET" IN 1940 (helped in large measure by the Burns and Allen show, sponsored @ the time by Hinds Honey and Almond Cream over CBS), we understand that heiress Paris Hilton is continuing her "Presidential campaign" these days.

Could she actually prove a viable, if facetious, alternative to the Established Order come November?

(BTW, if you listen to XM Satellite Radio's Radio Classics channel, which is 164 thereon, they're featuring right up to election week what remains of the several episodes of Burns and Allen as featured the "Gracie for President" story line--and several other shows where Gracie made guest appearences to promote her campaign.

(Trivia: The Surprise Party's symbol was a kangaroo.)

It just so happens there are a number of flaws in the preceding, among them:

READER, THE ALLUSIONS TO THE NAZI-ERA PROPAGANDA MINISTER AND THE EDITOR AND PUBLISHER OF THE LURID ANTI-SEMITIC TABLOID DER STURMER in the title of this item are deliberate and @ once conscious.

There can be no mistaking where the crass, lurid and reprehensibly tasteless brand of journalism especially Herr Streicher encouraged in the name of reclaiming German National and Racial Honour, thereby helping stoke the flames of the Holocaust all the more, has been influencing Indecision 2008 in this the final runup.

Especially so from the ilk of the McCain/Palin Presidential campaign, who are dropping hints by their very own acts, deeds and exploits @ campaign rallies of late that they want to lead America down a path as may be her own destruction, a path which could see the "New World Order" running things--all the while claiming that they represent "change" as will Save America From Herself. But, unfortunately, as I have mentioned previously, such frenzied excesses of fanaticism risk crossing the line into some mentally- or emotionally-unstable type spontaneously provoking disorder and violence as could see casualies or injuries.

Never mind the GOP having issued advice that the McCain/Palin campaign please tone down the vitriol for the sake of Party Unity (as if Party Unity mattered more than the Greater Collective Good of the Nation), there's always the danger that one isolated incident in the Willie Lumplump vein could get dangerously out of hand.

The fact of which is not lost on The Courier-Journal of Louisville, in the following editorial entitled "Politics of Venom:"

There is a reason the McCain-Palin campaign has taken such a dangerous and despicable turn.

They are losing.

Reason aside, there is no excuse for the ugliness they have embraced and fomented at their public rallies.

Winning is not everything.

However, desperate pursuit of a fading White House dream has stained the public face of decency that had marked John McCain's political career until this race. The candidate who once decried "agents of intolerance" is one now.

The displays of anger and hatred at several McCain-Palin events are scary and unacceptable in a society that has distinguished itself as a government of, by and for the people -- not the baited mob.

But mob mentality has been on parade at McCain-Palin events, as audience members have shouted "treason," "terrorist," "off with his head" and "kill him."

The candidates are not innocent bystanders. Indeed, they are playing to the mob. How else to explain Sarah Palin's smiling "palling around with terrorists" remark, her talking about "his America" versus "our America" about Obama? Or McCain standing idly by as an attendee called Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi "hooligans," after which McCain agreed?

The Republican ticket has made a decision to exploit people's fears, angers and biases to win political points in a race that is going badly for them.

This is not only a very dangerous and cynical calculation, especially at this time of great economic unrest.

It is an immoral choice.

In criticizing the turn the campaign has taken, John Weaver, a former strategist for McCain, said, "People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Sen. Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Sen. McCain."

People will not get that sort of civics lesson from the McCain-Palin gang.

At least not yet.

They're banking on winning ugly. But for the good of the nation, for the safety of our candidates, for the sake of their own reputations, they must run what's left of their campaign in a way that respects the voter and the process.

If they don't, we all lose ugly. Just how ugly, we don't even want to think.

As if to reinforce this point, consider what Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's Daily Show observed the other night about the warped and misplaced "journalistic priorities" of Fox Prolefeed over recent days being so out of touch with Reality (hat tip to NewsHounds):

Not to mention "Morning Joe" Scarborough of MSNBC acknowledging openly to Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report that they discuss Barack Obama's droog (and the McCain/Palin campaign's bête noire) William Ayres with such frequency "because it's not relevant" (about 1:22-1:30 into this clip):

We should recall, too, that Herr Streicher's approach in publishing Der Sturmer was one of using short, simple sentences and easily-understood vocabulary to make sure working-class Germans across Nazi Germany willingly understood why (as the slogan @ the bottom of the front page of every issue put it) "The Jew is Our Misfortune." And not so much in words as in cartoons, almost always produced by "Fips" (Philipp Rupprecht) and infamous for their crude anti-Semitic depravity reinforced by vulgar stereotypes or their zoophilic suggestions that Jews were somehow "snakes in the grass" threatening Aryan Womanhood and, in its turn, Aryan Racial Integrity.

Do we willingly ignore the lessons and warnings of History by choice, or by our own sheer arrogance and incompetence?

Or will History come back and haunt us without warning or danger, in line with George Santayana's maxim about those not remembering the past condemned to repeat it?

And what will the reaction of the McCain/Palin campaign be if one of their rallies suddenly and spontaneously deteriorates into rioting, chaos and Extreme Ultraviolence?

They had better think about the possible consequences before they resort to blaming "troublemakers" from the Obama Campaign when, in really, it's more than likely the fault of Willie Lumplump.

=============

FOR THOSE OF YOU READERS WHO ASK, WILLIE LUMPLUMP was a recurring character of the late comedian Red Skelton on both his radio and TV shows.

"King of the Mynah Birds" was Lumplump's "title," which belied the fact of his being a loud, uncouth and obnoxious drunk certain to start trouble wherever and whenever he went. And perhaps his closest rival among Mr. Skelton's repretoire of characters would have to be Junior, The Mean Widdle Kid.

Now you know.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, GENTLEMEN AND LAYDEEZ: IN THE GOP'S STUPID ELECTORAL TRICKS PLAYBOOK FOR INDECISION 2008, playing up the race card is seen to be all the more essential for the sake of "protecting and maintaining" what they regard as an unwitten Sanctii Sanctorum: That only White Male European-American Low Church Christians are entitled "as of right" to the Presidency, let alone being considered credible and trustworthy in positions of power, authority, confidence and trust.

Witness commercials being broadcast for and on behalf of the McCain/Palin campaign through their dear and trusted droogs in the super-secretive 527 arena questioning Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama's "credibility and trust" when it comes to his associations with reformed domestic terrorist William Ayers.

Their concerns? Obama is of colour--which, in the GOP's articles of faith, should be seen as a "red flag" right out of the salad days of Jim Crow and the black codes which, among other things, held that blacks could not turn court evidence against whites.

Not to mention such perhaps serving as a Red Herring of the highest order, especially in view of:

• questions about John McCain's "palling around" with a certain G. Gordon Liddy, among other weird and unwholesome elements best considered as coming from the Dregs of Society; and
• the Alaska Legislature's coming out with a blistering report which found that Governor (and now McCain's Vice-Presidential drookie) Sarah Palin abused the powers and duties of her office in connexion with the "Troopergate" scandal, notwithstanding where certain of the acts, deeds and exploits in question are technically legal for the time being.

So much for the implication that only White European-American Low Church Christians can be considered worthy of confidence and trust in positions so requiring.

(And besides: How do we know that Machiavelli on steroids and amphetamines isn't secretly providing homosexual favours for such in the McCain/Palin campaign whipping up latent racist feelings?)

AND IT PROBABLY SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR A FAILING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AS WILL STOP @ NOTHING TO SAVE ITSELF, AND ANY CONFIDENCE THEY MAY HAVE among the Great Unwashed, to experience what may be The Greatest Single Insult they're reduced to facing:

Videlicet, getting heckled @ by your own supporters as an overt show of No Confidence in the campaign--as has been the case with McCain/Palin campaign appearences over the last day or so in response to lettres de cachet from the GOP's Central Committee asking McCain and Palin to tone down such displays of rhetortic as have led to potentially dangerous excesses of fanaticism which, in one instance, prompted the Secret Service to investigate a report that one attendee @ a McCain campaign appearence was calling for Barack Obama's being killed off or otherwise executed for Treason.

Still, though, they have yet to recognise the likelihood that the spigots of fanaticism could be wide open all the more again, with clear and present danger for said rallies collapsing into disorder and violence--all thanks to "goon squads" brought in by the McCain campaign recruited with the cooperation of "especially cooperative" anti-government elements holding articles of faith espousing Law and Order based on sadisto hysteria, all expected to receive Redemption for Value in the end.

AND BECAUSE "IT'S A SMALL WORLD, AFTER ALL:"

Shed no tears, readers, for Austrian far-right politico Joerg Haider (58), formerly of the Freedom Party and more recently of the breakaway Alliance for Austria's Future, who died of injuries sustained in a Horror Road Crash overnight.

His xenophobically vitriolic attitudes against the European Union and Jews, not to mention hagiographic admiration for Nazi Germany, was enough to help bring Austria close to pariah status within the European Union, who would impose sanctions so directed in 2005 after Herr Haider made remarks crossing into Nazi hagiography. And killed just as his Alliance for Austria's Future was preparing to rejoice in its taking 11% of Parliamentary seats in recent elections, with the likelihood of being part of a Grand Coalition.

So what exactly can we "morally superior" Americans learn therefrom?

more the engrish!

FOR SOME REASON, THERE ARE SOME ELEMENTS ON THE RELIGIOPOLITICAL RIGHT WHO SEE GOP VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SARAH PALIN to be no better than the Old Deluder made flesh, who would be ready to sell out Our Antient and Pecuilar Soverignty and Soverign Identity to the New World Order just as Judas betrayed the Christus to the Roman occupation authorities for 30 silver pieces, in turn translating into His Crucifixion.

Right Wing Watch makes a valid case for this point:

It seems that no matter how right-wing someone is, there is always someone even more right-wing around to call them a bleeding heart liberal.  For Sarah Palin, that is Vision Forum who, as we noted last week, thinks that her entire career is an offense to God.  Now, Vision Forum president Doug Phillips tells OneNewsNow that not only does her candidacy violate biblical teaching, she's actually not even a conservative but really a pro-gay, pro-evolution liberal:

"It's pretty clear what it says in Titus 2 that women are to care for their children, love their husband, and be keepers at home; that the Word of God be not blasphemed," Phillips explains. "And it's also clear in 1 Corinthians 11, when it says that the man is not made for the woman but the woman is made for the man, meaning that the wife is to be the helpmeet to the husband, who really sets the family vision and drives the family vision."

Palin, according to Phillips, is not as conservative as many may believe. "Her actual record is a very anti-family record. Sarah Palin is on record as being pro-evolution, pro-contraceptive discussion at taxpayer expense at government schools," he adds. "She has advocated the single-most liberal policy regarding Title IX, which requires basically mandatory quotas now to be applied to the private sector. She's one of the most pro-homosexual governors in America in terms of her actual policies."

No wonder, then, that the Religiopolitical Right wants to revise the Presidential role to one of superdivinity--"Prophet, Seer and Revelator," as it were, all the while expected to lie low when it comes to the likelihood of narcotics or hallucinogenics being used to create the aura of being in receipt of Divine Revelation.

Reinforced, no doubt, by the following video from "Unfit Mothers for Sarah Palin," via Brave New Films and YouTube:

And these specimens of Patriotic Drunk Rednecks (same sources as above):

Is it any wonder that the Lower Classes are as vulnerable and easily-influenced as they are, making them all the easier for the Necons to exploit--never mind the risk of emotional harm?
