From the Jerusalem Post:

Occupy chapter votes to support Israel boycott

[...]

The Oakland, Calif., chapter of the US Occupy movement overwhelmingly endorsed a proposal in support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.

According to Twitter accounts by pro-Palestinian activists pushing the proposal, the statement won nearly unanimous backing in a vote Wednesday following a brief discussion. A lengthy statement on the Occupy Oakland website attacked US aid to Israel and suggested that Israel had “prodded” the United States into the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This is apparently the proposal they passed: http://occupyoakland.org/2012/01/proposal-occupy-wallstreet-not-palestine/

“Don’t Muck It Up”

It’s getting downright Orwellian out there isn’t it? The Titanic is sinking faster so a greater percentage of survivors are getting seats (participation rate), and the Trump-backed Republicans have no cogent response. Stupidity is growing parabolically, more and more people are willingly ignoring more and more data, to produce the aesthetically pleasing linear outcome. Great, the stated unemployment rate is 8.3%; throw some more fuel on the fire.

When you consider that the vast majority is a cop, collecting benefits from the State, indirectly or directly, to ensure continued conformity, and isolate nonconformance accordingly, you see the true magnitude and shape of the black hole, and, if you look, you can travel right down its history to see how the stack/hash table functions. When the herd finally awakens, it will be consumed by anxiety, from cognitive dissonance. The remedy is to disburse the herd before tyranny threshold, but there is no geography available to that end (for the majority).

Policeman to the world is a stupid policy, with obvious results. It’s like hearing a woman scream when you open your door, and then seeing a man beating on her. If you go over to pull that guy off and expect his wife not to hit you in the back of the head with a hammer, you are the stupid one. Don’t meddle in other people’s marriages. If you have money to throw away to enter the German/Greek sh**-show over in Europe, by all means do so.

Cops are weasels by nature. Good cops understand their role in the empire’s ecology. Do whatever you want with law-breakers, but leave the other non-conformers be, as we increase the age to majority. Yes, Mr. FBI Director, don’t interfere with the Persians; they simply await the conclusion of the financial stage in this war, and they can hurt you beyond your imagination. They eagerly await the Jewish Hypocrites. Homogeneity knows no bounds.

Expect the emperor to open the temple again, but do not enter. Always observe the sh**-show from a convenient watchtower, out of time with the herd. The root implicit multiplexer appears random to the explicit multiplexer only because the latter follows the dying rule of law. Learning comes before knowledge. Language begets equations. The emperor will get his equations, once the noose around his neck becomes so tight that he must relinquish his grip on children.

Raising children is not about instilling fear. Any passive/aggressive moron can be a bully, and be bullied. Ask the Indian what happens to the bully. The brain is a muscle. Thinking is an exercise in consideration. The more you practice, the stronger it gets. Sex is a thinking person’s game. Children learn by example. By age one, they know who the bullies are. By age two, they are practicing. After that, parents are pretty much spectators.

The Persian kids don’t like their derivative leaders either, but they are acutely aware that the melting pot employs a homogeneous catalyst. Containment swings both ways. The empire blows itself up every time. Just give it some rope, the fuse.

China upped the bridge to nowhere ante with cities to nowhere…
