The Problem With China's Trade Surplus

 

1. The Helios Conspiracy is a vast improvement over the faux escapist …
2. The metric behind the Fortress Euro conspiracy vision, that we’re all gonna get rich on the fascist pretensions of Chinese money & economy, is paranoid delusional, as that old world charm is disintegrating!

Tomorrow

     One of the best movies I’ve seen to date was Act of Valor, starring real, active duty U.S. Navy Seals. What I liked most of all is that they portrayed real past missions fictionally and used a large array of real military hardware; this includes a mission to rescue of a kidnapped CIA agent, and a nuclear submarine that shows the might of the U.S. military to offend and defend. I am a strict realist, and appreciate what I believe the French call cinema verite; movies so real you feel part of the action, giving you a perspective that you may not be able to find any other way.

     Another aspect of this movie I found fascinating, is it’s relation of U.S. Navy Seals credo and guiding principles. One of these is the idea to have absolutely no fear of death. Not only does this make for a very effective soldier, it also shows true depth in their character, apropos for fighting a war!

     One of the things I liked most about the movie, it galvanized my American patriotism on many levels…I found all the American ideals and ambitions I had learned in school and life, were not only protected by an awesome military force, but I felt the noble spirit of my countries military establishing a corridor to rise above the new cold war and anti-Americanism, into the futuristic realm I thought I’d live to see when I first saw the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey in the 1960’s. When I saw this submarine cut through the waves completely eclipsing the might of the Russian navy a la the Kursk, I knew we might finally decisively win the cold war we had fought so long against the Soviets, with all their European airs. By the way, I’m a Russian-American, which makes my position all the more difficult.

     You see, before you judge me as a one-sided right winger, you must realize all the positivist grandeur that has come out of the military industrial complex, from technology, and yes, culture, something that most of the world doesn’t think Americans have.

     Don’t tread on me! Semper Fi

At Afghan Prison, Invasive Search of Female Visitors Raises U.S. Objections - NYTimes.com

The Taliban mindset in Afghanistan is still dragging women down into androcentric mire in a reactionary status quo.  What could've changed in the grand scheme of things is a significant change toward real enlightenment in the overall global mindset, offsetting the power of the Taliban and the like to achieve their backward aims.

Viva the avant garde revolution!

Cutting Edge Art at the Fountain Art Fair!

As a VIP at the Fountain Art Fair in New York City I saw endless state of the art artistic creations.  I met an artist from Tokyo whose art was masterfully poetic and suggested a science fiction future that exists now.  Another artist I met was from France.  She had photos and looped videos from Kyoto and Tokyo.  If I weren't somewhat familiar with Japan her images would've alienated me into feeling like a gaijin.

     Not only was the art amazing, the atmosphere of the avantegarde made me feel like a new age of our species is about to emerge, as I've often theorized it would.

European Central Bank to Recover Most of Its Lehman Loans - NYTimes.com

My response to the news article in the above link follows:

Maybe somewhere in this article is a clue to what happened to the European Union's equivalent to Americas Lehman trauma. Could it be there's some problem at European Central Bank or the Bundesbank, or is it Societe General? Crawling out of Depression 2.0 with some new cold war looming imminently on the horizon, I don't know what to think. What I do know is President Obama has placed the US in such an excellent position, that there's a level playing field for America in the global arena. I'm tired of the old way when Europeans would posture there is no culture in the US, conspiring with an envious group of nations publicly or privately to get what we have. The American Dream is still very real!

The 99% Inverted!

Most of the Occupy Wall Street protesters are just reactionary, filled with hatred rhetoric about 1 billion in poverty without a real solution on how to change this statistic...in their blind rage at the "1%" they distort their perception of wealth. They don't see that they're selfishly rebelling against an American system that essentially is geared toward a very realistic, enlightened way of dealing with it's people and the world. It's ironic this smartmob doesn't understand that in the US the quality of life and amount of wealth held by the "99%" is so high as to seemingly eclipse the wealth of the rest of the globe.  ...Marc Wolsky
