The way things have been if I don’t see another buttressing quote from
either Lenin, Luxemburg or Tony Cliff for a long while I will be happy. So,
in that spirit, let’s talk about Lenin!
One thing I have been adamant about for some time is that the revolutionary
party was not Lenin’s key innovation. Firstly, even if he intended to found
“The Bolsheviks” he did not intend his party to be a new party. He was
trying to found a Russian SPD. Many Communist Parties were not made brand
news but founded out of Socialist Party majorities. Despite instants of
political hardship (not least of... more »
Paying for Advice? Just Say No

Words like “should” and “owe” and “debt” and “obey” are uncomfortable. They

Guilt is a dress I have worn often, as has my mother and her mother before

Fukushima's radiation saturates the planet: Two Year anniversay, today.
It was two years ago today that the *triple disaster *at Fukushima took

Yes, that is right a triple disaster. An earthquake, the tsunami and the

you were a reader here two years ago you were already aware of that fact.
Not conspiracy theory. FACT.
It was obvious that multiple meltdowns had occurred the very day of the

The Errors of Keynes's Critics
*Guest post by Steven Kates*
An important understanding is taking hold, that the road to unwind
Keynesian economics travels through Say’s Law. Keynes himself could not
have been clearer about the significance of Say’s Law to the entire
structure of his argument. Keynes emphasized, over and over again, in *The
General Theory* (*TGT*) that he was reversing the conclusions of those who
believed Say’s Law to be true.* Thus, there are two things that need to be
done if you are going to refute Keynes. First, you have to know what Say’s
Law is. Then you have to show it is valid.

How The GOP Transformed Itself Into The Country's Biggest Walk-In Closet
Not everyone agreed with my assertion Saturday that Democrats are mentally
healthier than Republicans nor with the premise that Democrats are

seriously Republican is toxic to anyone's well-being. Let's take one

The ennui of the White House reporter
In the endless Beltway media shuffle, former TPM mainstay Evan

Judging by these quotes from incoming WHPA president McClatchy's Steve
Thomma, it sounds more like why the WHPC hates the *Obama* White House and
possibly the readers:
A more pressing problem, Thomma said, is that the White House now looks at
the rise of social media and sees a way to circumvent reporters to get
their message out. Meanwhile, the televised briefings — which have become ... more »
When Pigs Float
Shanghai has a water problem. Somehow more than 2,800 dead pigs wound up
floating in one of the main rivers that supplies drinking water to the
mega-metropolis of 23-million.
Local authorities claim the river water is still safe to drink but they are
local authorities and this is China.
Nobody has figured out where the pigs came from yet. How some farmer can
conceal the absence of nearly three thousand pigs is a bit tough to
understand. Yet the animals show no sign of disease or any other obvious
cause of death.
Apparently this is nothing new.

One is that there are times when a fact checker is better off just backing

whatever. The other is that there is, in fact, a difference between
partisan talking points and a real, operative, policy commitment. At issue

Kessler is right that "[I]n Washington, there are real plans and faux

No Honor Among Thieves In Boehnerland
No wonder Paul Ryan, still premising the future of America-- despite heavy
GOP losses in November-- on the repeal of Obamacare, ruled out the idea of
running for Speaker or Majority Leader of the fractious and dysfunctional
civil-war ravaged House Republican Caucus. Just as Cantor's Chief Whip,
Bakersfield wingnut Kevin McCarthy, was bragging that they feel free to
trample on the "Hastert rule" whenever it suits their purposes, he,
Boehner, Cantor and their cronies were facing up to the fact that they can't
even count on their own caucus to follow them on procedural votes any

For Real?
I scrolled past this story at Crooks and Liars the first time. I glanced
at it a little longer going past it today. I'd thought that the image in
the video still was some sort of joke on bush II. I thought they were
making fun of him.
That really is the mass-murdering war criminal bush II, standing proudly
beside some kitschy painting he did of a toy dog. The nutbar fundamentalist
hypocrite, torturer, thief, election-stealer. And those FOX News hosts are
really serious in their gushing praise in their transparent attempt to
rehabilitate the unelected simpleton's work.

Exposing China's Weakness
Behind the political uproar, there is an energy revolution underway
happening at breakneck speed. It is the delivery of shale gas into the
market. It naturally produces a huge flush production that quickly
recaptures the capital budget and allowing an additional well to be
drilled. However they do the numbers, you can be sure that they are not
going backward.
This has resulted in the abrupt displacement of the thermal coal industry
which is now working itself out. Other moves are afoot to sharply increase
domestic consumption and displace oil. All this plus the rising expansion ... more »
Five Ways to Induce Lucid Dreaming
I think that there will be two types of lucid dreaming. The one type that
we are all familiar with is well described here in which the mind produces
a flight of experience generally anchored to the self. There is no evidence
of new information to confound. This is our everyday dreaming we are all
familiar with.
The second type is better described as enhanced dreaming. I also think that
is what is actually meant by the phrase 'lucid dreaming'. I have
experienced this enhanced dreaming and there is no way one would ever think
that one was either dreaming or even on our plane of ex... more »
China's Organic Illusion
This warning about China as a source will go unanswered for the foreseeable
future. It exposes the underbelly of working with the Chinese. If you do
not go in knowing this, you are likely to be badly burned. However, if you
pay the price and act more Chinese than the Chinese you can gain
relationships that will print gold.
And once you have that put in place it is a life time. Morals and ethics
are taught at home as elsewhere. Everything is conversation until you meet
grand father. Obviously patience is virtue.
However, as this item makes clear, in a quasi regulated quality contr... more »
Truth of a statement may be relevant as to whether voluntary or not
*DeClercq v. R.*, [1968] S.C.R. 902 holds:
I am in agreement with the conclusions stated in the Hammond case. While it
is settled law that an inculpatory statement by an accused is not
admissible against him unless it is voluntary, and while the inquiry on a
voir dire is directed to that issue, and not to the truth of the statement,
it does not follow that the truth or falsity of the statement must be
irrelevant to such an inquiry. An accused person, who alleged that he had
been forced to admit responsibility for a crime committed by another, could
properly testify that the statemen... more »
Manning's True Colours
After attending the 1993 Reform Party Convention, the late Dalton Camp
wrote:
"The speechifying gives off acrid whiffs of xenophobia, homophobia, and
paranoia—like an exhaust—in which it seems clear both orator and audience
have been seized by some private terror: immigrants, lesbians, people out
of work or from out of town and criminals."
The people who support Manning and his star pupil -- the Prime Minister of
Canada -- still believe the same swill. If you doubt that, remember that
the keynote speaker at this year's Manning Conference was Dr. Ron Paul.

Greening the world's deserts with lots of cows

When Roger B. Taney died in 1864, age 87, he had been the serving for 28

John Marshall when he died in a stage coach accident. His legacy,
deservedly, is loathsome and wretched, although there is a statue of him in

Washington. He has been lionized by the worst and most unapologetic racist

During the past two years, several Arab states—including Tunisia, Egypt,

refugees in neighboring countries. The west and the east are using the
Syrian tragedy to settle their own differences.
In the mean time, some Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar are

An economy that exports more is creating more local jobs, directly and

using lots of local contents like labor, electricity, water, land and
office renalt, food, housing and entertainment for both the expat managers
and local staff, and so on.
The less import-dependent service exports like business process outsourcing

rarely comes. As I tweeted to Mark Knoller last night, there's no better
