The arrest of Dai, a highly trained CIA operative blocks away from Landrieu's office, opens a number of scenarios.

From Gordon Duff :

With much of the CIA’s former leadership now employed by Blackwater/Xe, a company owned and controlled by former Republican party leadership, the lines between domestic and foreign intelligence operations have become blurred. CIA agents killed in Afghanistan recently may all have been Blackwater/Xe employees, some or all former CIA operatives seeking the higher salaries of the private security industry. Has the CIA become interchangable with a mercenary group tied to a political party and available for hire by anyone with enough money? The deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan gives credence to this hypothesis.
----------
This is another example of the consequences of private- public partnerships in government. These costly programs, also defocus the chain of command, and the sense of national mission. Were they trying to embarrass Landrieu? Were they gathering intel for Israel? She deals with many sensitive subjects as the chair of the Homeland Security Committee. Who oversees Blackwater in the government? Are they held accountable for their actions? Did Blackwater feel double crossed by policy shifts in Homeland Security controlled by Democrats? These divisions and questionable allegiances, could spell yet another serious blow to our governance.

His wife tossed aside, Edwards decided he wanted the Riele thing. He has set a new social standard for politicians. Isn't it strange, that after the religious right hit Washington,we have new high levels of corruption and new low standards of personal conduct. It was Bill Clinton that started the downslide, or was it John Kennedy? Could there be hypocracy involved in the religious right movement, or is it just the case that sinners never go to church?

Although Spitzer broke the Man Act, the actual ethical issue involved is the dilution of leadership when politicians consort with hookers, isn't it? This could hurt lots of people, and in his case may have jeopardized the proper regulation of banks.

I just mention it because there is the upcoming prayer breakfast, given by Douglas Coe and "The Family", who is a shadowy figure. He is cozy with many politicians and people internationally, and he is not ordained by any established religion. Who we need instead, is a spiritual son of Jerry Falwell, openly telling everyone that homosexuality is wrong. Don't we lose the moral high ground in war, when we freely allow homosexuals into the ranks? Wouldn't this be bad for morale? Wouldn't this be bad for recruitment efforts Wouldn't it stiffen enemy resistance? Jerry was a standup guy, but hardly anyone knows this Coe guy. He could be the Prince of Darkness. Why do people attend this prayer breakfast anyway?

The Toyota accelerator pedal fixup may not be necessary. Life is a gamble, and there is always a possibility of a little excitement. Why bother with the fix which may or may not work, when you can have zest like this :

Monica,

I can’t shake this nagging feeling I have that Obama isn’t the inept, naïve, character many pundits assume he is. What if his agenda is to undermine the Americas efforts to win the war on terror? What if his real intent is to wear down the military’s moral? As of now, the president’s policies are doing just that. He is effectively and methodically destroying the moral of the military by placing obstacles in their way so as to make it virtually impossible for our side to defeat Islamic terrorism.

Some would say: But DJ, Obama DID agree to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan as was requested by General McCrystal. How is that not supporting our effects to defeat the Taliban and al-Qaeda? To which I say: On the surface it would seem Obama is supporting his generals, but when you dig under the surface, there is this little thing called ‘Karzai’s Twelve Rules’ (google it) -- written and enforced by the PC General McCrystal. These rules are so preposterous, they make the solders’ mission virtually impossible to achieve success. But Obama’s definition of success seems to mean the demoralization and eventual defeat of out military in Afghanistan.

Add to that Obama’s desire to lift the ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ -- a policy which most experts say has worked well. But Obama wants the military to allow gays to serve openly. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the long term effects of that. It can only lead to the weakening of what was once the greatest military force in history. It's pretty clear, Obama is knowingly and deliberately traveling on the course of destroying another one of the many things he hates about America.

Is Barry the naïve, unqualified, inept president many make him out to be? Or is he a clever devil proving to be very successful in what he set out to do. That being: blending America and its citizens down to third world status.

DJ,

Yes, the true goal of the Obamanation may be the Third Worldization of the USA, by helping to ruin the American middle class. Not hard to make that case. But this is still giving Obama too much credit as a master of the Machiavellian. Obviously the Plan began at least as far back as the Kennedy Immigration Revolution in 1965, when everyone except white Europeans were encouraged to pour into the US, while The Swimmer assured everyone that it would not change national demographics. And what many conservatives, including our Monica, are reluctant to acknowledge: the feminizing, the double standardizing and the Orwellian Speech Police and their lawyer commissars have been enabled by the virtual collapse of Republican opposition. (See Nixon's Affirmative Action for just one example of Republican collaboration. See how the military's "Love Boat Navy" and PC ROE and prosecution of American soldiers flourished under Bush, and how a crazed and murderous jihadi like Major Hassan was allowed to thrive in the US Army under the PC tenets of George Bush.)

I'm tired--even if Monica is not-- of giving these Republicans a free pass on what the libs are doing to this country. How will Republicans use the current national revulsion against the progged-up Democrats? It must be obvious: Republicans are salivating with electoral prospects. They're pols, after all.

And how much better are a lot of talk show 'conservatives'? Young Army Ranger MICHAEL BEHENNA has been sentenced to 15 years in Leavenworth for the death of a violent jihadi in Iraq, his mother mortgaging her home to raise money for her son's defense. How many of these flag-waiving "thank you for your service" talk hosts are even mentioning the case? Yes, Michael Savage, to his credit, is. Who else?

[gringoman]

Dr. Crowley ~ I know it's formal, but since you spent the time and effort to achieve that level in academia, I want to acknowlege it. I also hope that it will remind you of the responsibility that comes with the designation.

I watch you when you appear on McLaughlin Group, but I had no idea how deeply rooted in conservatism your ideas were until I read this blog. Part of the reason that I mistook you as someone who might be worthy of further investigation is because your demeanor is polished and professional, and you don't immediately smack of a Nancy Grace or Ann Coulter. But I was deeply offended and concerned when I read more of your writing and saw your interview on The O'Reilly Factor.

I live for two things in the world, caring for human beings, and searching for absolute truth. I sincerely -- and I mean genuinely -- encourage you to try more of both. You should judge your words and your perspective by the comments and ideas of the people they draw to this blog. Does this hate really represent you?

Sikadi Kenge:

Do the pious progressives, using their pc buzz words like 'hate,' ever tire of the sanctimony they demand that other people pay for? You say you care for other human beings and you search for absolute truth. The only evidence you give us for these lofty assertions is your own word, and the fact that you don't mind telling us what a lofty individual you think you are. Can you do a little better, Mr. Kenge? This is not a class in Self-Esteem 101.

By the way, Mr. Kenge, if you happen to be an honest non-profiteer (unlike the warmology 'scientists' on their fat and devious grants) would you mind telling us why you think you are qualified to come on here, spew stupid buzz words, and dare take to task our Warrior Princess? Do you feel you are intellectually qualified? On what basis (a job with the UN?) Please explain. Mr Kenge, we want to know if you're making good use of our bandwidth. Here's your chance to show that you're not just another trolling half-wit or Obot, full of prap. Why not give it a try?

Why Obama bowed to Iorio

Blogs are reporting a possible reason why Obama bowed to Pam Iorio, the mayor of Tampa, Florida:

"By virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of the city of Tampa, I do hereby proclaim November 15, 2008, as 'Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Day' in the city of Tampa, Florida."--Mayor Pam Iorio.

DJ,

Very interesting (and indicative) explanation. Looks like Obowma is not only out-doing George Bush the fiscal socialist, but also the George "It's a Religion of Peace" Bush.

That took a lot of doing, but BHO seems up to it.

No wonder Imus and Taibbi ganged up on David Brooks. Brooks dared to raise the question of whether Haitians and their dysfunctional voodoo-ridden society have anything to do with their centuries of misery and disorder. In effect, Brooks was doing Pat Robertson but with proper nuance for Times "sophistication," leaving out the Talmudic thunder etc.

Brooks dared to raise the issue of responsibility. In other words, Brooks had a moment of clarity in the NY Times. That's taboo among the pious "humane" Eliteniks. It interferes with their marvelous technique, their devotion to patronizing what is below them without being called out on it.

No wonder Imus and Taibbi beat up on Brooks. They're the "good" whites, not the "bigots". They're not the Nazis and fascists.

They "love" the poor Haitians so much they're willing to pretend the degradation has nothing to do with the Haitians themselves. See how genuine their "love" is?

Poor eliteniks. If they have it so good, why do they have to try so hard not to feel bad?

[gringoman]

M/M it is debatable if the black racist blogger is preferrable to the self-racist whitey-bloggers you mention, but I have to say the fact that he doesn't show up nearly as often as the white-libs do, speaks in his favor, if nothing else.

Let there be no doubt on this FACT: ER is a racist. No ifs ands or buts.

[Ummahgummah]

Gringoman, Sadly I gotta agree that the silence about the fate of Lt. Behenna by all our "Conservative" talk show hosts besides Savage is DEAFENING.

I say "conservative" because how can one be labeled conservative if one does not OPENLY and ACTIVELY support all our service personnel.

All else is lip service. That goes for the politicians even more so!

It's not about uprooting the Bama and taking over his spot in the White House an then filling up all the spots below him with cronies from one faction or another.. the reason I want him OUT is because of how LIEberal and islam-friendly he is.

Why should I support a "lesser-evil" Republican who doesn't have the well-being of each and every one of our uniformed personnel close at heart?

What would be the point?

I am not going to rally behing "brand republican" just because the Bama is evil.

What I want is a hearty repudiation of his policies and the treasonous accusations against and the continued illegal incarceration of Lt. Michael Behenna is the MOST LOGICAL WAY to repudiate the Bama!

Alright now, I say to you Conservatives and Republicans:

ALL HANDS ON DECK

.

[Ummahgummah]

.

Why don't the opposition politicians and the media hacks ever ask the Bama DIRECTLY and TO HIS FACE what he knows about the fate of Lt. Michael Behenna and what his opinion is?

Is he or is he not the Commander-in-Chief?

Therefore, what is the most important task he is charged with as his highest solemn duty?

If they don't ask, may someone from the someone from the public do so, when the opportunity presents itself!

Like Joe the Plumber seized one..

Ummah,

"Media hacks" indeed! So far, the only two media "voices" I know of who are even mentioning the LT MICHAEL BEHENNA case are Michael Savage and, at http://www.militarycorruption.com/ Major Mac. Savage with his highly-rated passion, and Major Mac, with his in-depth coverage and fury at politically correct injustice in today's US military, (which is read on military bases around the world), are both making significant contributions.

Why can't the rest even mention Lt. Behenna's pc-driven case? What in God's name is wrong with these mediacks?

Against the Gaying of the US Military

Wall Street Journal/////http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703389004575033601528093416.html

[gringoman]

By MACKUBIN THOMAS OWENS

As expected, President Obama pledged during his State of the Union address to "work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are." This law—often mistakenly referred to as "don't ask, don't tell"—was passed in 1993 by a veto-proof margin in a Democratic controlled Congress.

gringoNOTE: Assuming the above quote from Obowma is correct, you have to give him credit. This guy is not just a common idiotlogue. He can do devious, especially with the language.

Here he carefully (if not stupidly) mis=states the nearly universal resistance to the homosexualizing of society. It's not because of "who" they are. "Who" would pertain to their individuality. It's about "what" they are, in this case a sexual orientation which has been considered deviant throughout human history.

But Obowma doesn't stop there. He manages to misrepresent a second time in the same sentence. Americans have put themselves way out to accommodate homosexuals in the military. They allow them to serve as long as they don't parade what they are. They're not asked to "lie." Since nobody under DADT is permitted to "ask," there's no reason for them to "tell" a lie anyway.

The liar in this case is POTUS Obowma.

ps The drive is clearly on to Gay the US Military. Just look at some of the old cuties who are calling for an end to DADT, including the Pentagon politically correct lifers who clearly know who they have to bend over for under this WH regime. That said, I will not be surprised to see the Republicans cave, despite McCain's taking a stand against ending DADT.

The Gay Mafia and their "progressive" enablers can smell weakness, and they know the Corpo-Lib mediacks will help out.

Gringoman and UG, my post to Bernard DURING the Matt Taibbi interview:

OMG, how can you listen to these liberals? Kudos to Imus for asking Matt Taibbi about the Dominican Republic. I saw a Haitian engineer on t.v. who said he was concerned about the construction of those buildings for years. The way those buildings were constructed reminds me of scam on an episode of "The Sopranos".

[M/M]

Concerning Katrina:

1) Article about the levees

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/09/0902_050902_katrina_levees.html

2) I think there was also a lack of leadership, such as Mayor Nagin not using the school buses to evacuate people and Gov. Kathleen Blanco's hesitation in requesting federal troops.
http://newsbusters.org/node/2072

[M/M]

Ree, I'm NO FAN of David Brooks but he made several good points in the article:

First, he pointed out that San Francisco had an earthquake of similar magnitude and the city did not suffer as many casualties and as much damage to its infrastructures. Mexico is another example. Why such damage to Haiti?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/15/opinion/15brooks.html

David Brooks points out that throwing billion dollars of foreign aid at Haiti isn't working. He says:

"The U.S. and other countries have thrown billions of dollars in foreign aid and Haiti has not been able to lift itself from poverty while other countries have. The most striking example is Haiti’s neighbor, the Dominican Republic.

“The first of those truths is that we don’t know how to use aid to reduce poverty. Over the past few decades, the world has spent trillions of dollars to generate growth in the developing world. The countries that have not received much aid, like China, have seen tremendous growth and tremendous poverty reductions. The countries that have received aid, like Haiti, have not.”

Third, it is time to put the thorny issue of culture at the center of efforts to tackle global poverty. Why is Haiti so poor? Well, it has a history of oppression, slavery and colonialism. But so does Barbados, and Barbados is doing pretty well. Haiti has endured ruthless dictators, corruption and foreign invasions. But so has the Dominican Republic, and the D.R. is in much better shape. Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the same island and the same basic environment, yet the border between the two societies offers one of the starkest contrasts on earth — with trees and progress on one side, and deforestation and poverty and early death on the other.

As Lawrence E. Harrison explained in his book “The Central Liberal Truth,” Haiti, like most of the world’s poorest nations, suffers from a complex web of progress-resistant cultural influences. There is the influence of the voodoo religion, which spreads the message that life is capricious and planning futile. There are high levels of social mistrust. Responsibility is often not internalized. Child-rearing practices often involve neglect in the early years and harsh retribution when kids hit 9 or 10."

Slavery is alive and well in Haiti.

M/M, Bush called pigslam a "religion of peace". There was a whole lot of stuff on the internet right after 9/11, angry angry stuff written by Air Force people who were FURIOUS that a safe corridor for a pakistani airlift had been established by brass at Tora Bora.

They were saying that a virtual air highway was going on with one plane after the other shuttling out what they said were surely more than just Pakistani personnel, who they stated were surely there to help the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the first place.

They were admonished to stand down as much as they wanted to shoot down al those planes!

So no NOT be fooled! Bush was in bed with the SOWdis. Our elected WHORES have all been bought by the enemy. Bush just sold us out strictly for the power and the money and with far less personal satisfaction than the Bama is doing now, which is why a whole lot less people are FOOLED.

islam has been creeping into the country ever since Ted Kennedy started his fateful immigration "reform" in the sixties.

They are single-minded in their evil purpose: namely the advancement of islam. They'd sooner kill us with weapons than the "less honorable" way they are using now, namely to strangle us with our own laws.

They are also quite good at sounding out the fissures which exist in any society they enter and then playing both ends against the middle.

Thus they amplify their actual numbers. Look at how they have harnessed our entire Left and by extension the entire Lamestream for their cause.

No, this is far more insiduous than flying planes into the World Trade Center. That's just the spectacular, the visible stuff.

I reckon they own more than half the politicians in Washington in some form or other.

Savage has the right idea: Bring back The House Committee on Un-American Activities. He says that since they're too corrupt in DC the committee should be run and manned by Citizens instead of elected whores.

Look at how they are taking over in Europe. Look out, we're next.

They really lucked out getting the Bama. He will advance their cause considerably with all the "ant-discrimination" stuff he will sign in the UN and also at home to mention just one of many ways. Look at how he BOWED to the SOWdi swine!

He really does consider them his masters. All moslems think that the SOWdis are the most moslem of all the moslems.

It IS a cult after all!

We are never safe until the entire world is de-islamified.

Heck, by now they are scamming us right inside our own countries!

Bigger minds than that pea-brain have long acknowledged the impossibility of such an undertaking.

Oh, and the "hate" expressed on Monicamemo means YOU and ME, it means US.

Uh, yeah! Hateblacks like this Nagin character would rather let thousands drown if he can get an opportunity to cry about whitey, no matter how many busses are available to take people to safety.

Just like the "shut up whiteboy" woman, a lot of these fools have no clue nor an inkling to do for themselves. Whitey owes them a living and they'd rather drown and starve to death than lift a finger.

The same people who made so much noise about apartheid in south africa were curiously silent in the face of what was going on in Sudan.

It was going on there since at least the eighties when it first came to my attention.

I have this theory that these people care more about white people than they care about blacks. When whites are not involved they are strangely unconcerned, no matter what atrocity is visited upon their brethren.

This seems to have developed into a world-wide pathology.

There is of course a less vocal and far less visible element that puts these creeps to shame. Like the kid who hotwired a bus on his own and went looking for people to take on the road to Houston with him.

The mayor of New Orleans bested by an enterprising kid!

A kid not sitting on his behind looking for Bush to fly in and rescue everyone but who went and rescued people on his own.

Now there's someone that will never be a mayor or a politician in this country!

Did you read David Brooks article? There are 150,000.00 dead Haitians and It's all their fault for being poor - Haitains.

So who's fault was Katrina - The US?

I did not read David Brooks. Some things I don't get around to, even when I think I'll agree. But based on the Imus=Taibbi chat, I would guess that Brooks, like Pat Robertson, is being targeted and mis-represented because he dared to break the elitenik taboo against treating the poor like grown-ups who have something to do with their condition in life. Eliteniks must treat the poor as children,i.e. victims, while trying to camouflage the game. It's demanding and they have to keep at it, stroking each other's "decency." Since they can't own up to their patronizing ways, they have to wiggle out of it by spinning a Pat Robertson or even a "sophisticated" David Brooks as idiots who were blaming the earthquake on the Haitians. Somebody's got to do it. Otherwise they'd have to look searchingly into character and behavior. That would be too close to Martin Luther King for comfort. And Imus has already been shell shocked by the race baiters.

Like how they say we are "angry clingers" for demanding that the government adhere to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights while the panty bomber and the Ft. Hood murderer get whitewashed and treated with velvet gloves.

What is even more galling is that their medical treatment is PAID FOR with OUR TAXES!

Gringoman, here is the article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/15/opinion/15brooks.html

Brooks basically mentions that we are throwing billions of dollars of foreign aid at Haiti while they, unlike other cultures that were given no foreign aid (China) or similar countries (Dominican Republic), are unable to break out of the poverty cycle.

Brooks mentions that San Francisco was able to survive an earthquake of similar magnitude with significantly less casualties and less damage. I've also heard Mexico did too. Aren't there universal building codes that ensure buildings are not poorly constructed? It seems as if someone was building on the cheap and pocketing the money. People were buried alive during this earthquake and I blame the government and whoever constructed these buildings.

Brooks identifies an author who says that problem is certain "progress- resistant cultural influences" that keep the people in poverty. He asks Obama to ask the tough questions about Haiti and why our aid keeps failing there. He suggests that we might want to change what we are doing with achievement models, like Harlem's Childrens Zones and No Excuses Schools.

Of course Liberals object because they would rather throw money at a failing model than actually analyze why our current aid is failing and replace it with a better system. Haiti is yet another example of why "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder".

[M/M]

Do you know who I blame for Haiti: LIBERALS AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY? (I encourage you to read Matt Taibbi's article and compare it with David Brooks and decide for yourself.)

FACT: Yes, Haiti is a poor country but it is also receives billions of dollars of foreign aid to counter that problem.

FACT: Natural disasters happen, but it is the 21st century and there are universal building codes that allow areas to minimize the threat of natural threats.

If the foreign aid is not helping the Haitians, shouldn't we analyze a BETTER WAY to help these people. One of the by-products of this extreme poverty is child slavery. If you look at the ABC story I posted, the video clip shows that the people trying to sell little, black Haitian children into slavery are NOT WHITE.

What is the black community doing to help these children? Look at the video. These children have scars from being beaten.

I'm listening to Imus and Tony Powell is talking about how hard it is for a black to get a cab in NYC. Oh, poor baby, with your BIG radio job on a national radio show. I'd bet everyone of those little Haitian children who live in Slavery in the 21st century wish they had YOUR problems. Life is SO HARD for you in the U.S. of KKK. You are SUCH A VICTIM.

David Brooks writes: “This is not a natural disaster story. This is a poverty story. It’s a story about poorly constructed buildings, bad infrastructure and terrible public services. On Thursday, President Obama told the people of Haiti: “You will not be forsaken; you will not be forgotten.” If he is going to remain faithful to that vow then he is going to have to use this tragedy as an occasion to rethink our approach to global poverty. He’s going to have to acknowledge a few difficult truths.
The first of those truths is that we don’t know how to use aid to reduce poverty. Over the past few decades, the world has spent trillions of dollars to generate growth in the developing world. The countries that have not received much aid, like China, have seen tremendous growth and tremendous poverty reductions. The countries that have received aid, like Haiti, have not.”

Wrong, WRONG, WRONG!!!!! This is not as story about poverty, this is a story about race and IQ. It won’t matter how much foreign aid is poured into Haiti, they will never, I repeat NEVER, achieve a civilization that resembles, say, Sweden. We can go into Haiti and build a state of the art city where Port au-Prince once stood, and soon it will resemble Detroit. We can’t expect a stone aged people to presto chango transform themselves into a first world civilization. That requires 10’s of thousands of years of evolution. Only kool-aid drinking libtards would believe otherwise.

Brooks mentions China. China is a different story. Apples and oranges so to speak. The Chinese have an average mean IQ of 103; compare that to the Haitians whose mean IQ is <80. The IQ difference between those two countries is key to understanding why China is ascending and Haiti can’t get it together. The best course of action in dealing with countries such as Haiti is to provide minimal amount of aid; let the Haitian people create their own civilization according to their natural abilities…. be it mud huts and subsistence farming, or a country comprised of creative geniuses embarking on space exploration. In any case, well meaning whites should quite meddling in the Haitians’ affairs.

You can't compare Haiti to China, but you can to the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic shares the island with Haiti and has a similar history, yet it is much more prosperous.

[M/M]

That is a good point about leaving other countries alone. How do you define progress? By introducing McDonalds to the Japanese culture? What about the Amish? Would they be considered "progress-resistant" because they still live in the horse and buggy days?

The problem is that we do throw a significant amount of money at Haiti and it doesn't seem to be working. My understanding is that the majority of the money is used by a corrupt government. Doesn't that mean that we are enabling a dysfunctional government through our tax dollars?

You ask "Is he or is he not the Commander-in-Chief?"

ANSWER

He is the ALLEGED "President" and the ALLEGED "Commander-in-Chief", but he acts like he does not believe in the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and three co-equal branches of government seeks despotic one-party control over everything.

M/M,

I compare Haiti to China for the reason, as David Brooks points out in his article, that the former receives massive foreign aid and the latter doesn’t. Yet Haiti is doing poorly -- decades of massive foreign aid notwithstanding. On the other hand, China is rapidly advancing without such foreign aid. Why is this, Brooks wonders?

Let me help you Mr. Brooks.

Difference in IQ distribution between the two populations is the root cause; most people know this, but nobody is willing to admit it. That would be racist! And we all know what happens to people that are labeled racist.

Now let’s compare Haiti to Dominican Republic.

Haiti:

Ethnic groups 95% black, 5% mixed race.

Mean IQ 72.

Per capita income - $550.00

Dominican Republic:

Ethnic groups: 73% multiracial, 16% white, 11% black

Mean IQ 84

Per capita income - $8,100.00

____________________________________________________________

M/M, do you see the correlation between race, IQ, and the level in which a nation can advance? I’m not saying mean IQ is the only factor, I’m saying it’s a primary factor.

[Dgscol]

IQ is mostly a measure of identification with western business interests. Clearly Haiti is remote. Haiti could be turned into something like China, but it would require a crackdown type of government, and a serious revision of their educational system, strengthening of their police, etc. and this is unlikely to happen as long as foreign countries intervene to keep Haiti independent of outside interests. To get something out of Haiti, requires investment and time, and without better organization within Haiti, it just isn't worth it. Haiti has fallen through the cracks, as it were. We are lucky there have only been boat people - piracy is occurring elsewhere. Militancy is probably Haiti's best chance of getting some attention. OTW, where would you rather invest : Mexico, Domincan Republic, or Haiti?

Speaking of lacking IQ, why doesn't Obama cut climate studies? For a decade they have fed the public trash in return for our hard earned money. They could use a serious haircut over there at Commerce and elsewhere.

M/M,

In a "democracy" the eliteniks, whether in Hollywood, Washington or Manhattan, obviously need to keep their voting cattle in a state of dependency, grazing in Big Nanny's Feed Lot. Did Machiavelli have a mental disorder?

[DJ]

"IQ is mostly a measure of identification with western business interests."

Nonsense.

"Clearly Haiti is remote. Haiti could be turned into something like China"

LOL, you're really funny this morning, Truther. But seriously. Let's take Detroit for example. The Detroit Public School system is comprised of nearly 100% blacks students. Their overall academic achievement record is abysmal. This achievement level is replicated in nearly all the predominantly black school systems across America. More money thrown at the problem certainly has had no positive effect. It hasn't made a bit of difference in closing the achievement gap between black and white and Asian students. Even blacks who come from a middle class families and are integrated into predominately white suburban schools, the B/W achievement gap still persists. They as a group gravitate to the low end of the achievment spectrum. Why is that so, Truther?
