Sailing was a great mod who happened to be very fair, and provided a great service to this place.

And I say this as someone who received a great many infractions.

I happened to like Sailingaway quite a bit.

"It"?

She contributed quite a bit.

On a side note, it sure would be a hoot to have a "Debate A Moderator" section.

But I digress.

Speaking of which. You know that agribusiness, like it has been successful in doing where other coups have taken place recently, was moving in on Ukraine too before the shtf. True story. But we haven't got to that part yet. That'll be a hoot. It's "foreign policy" too, you know. Stay tuned. Foreign Policy isn't always just what the media and some politicians would like to narrate it to be and where it's comfortable for them where just getting elected is the bees knees. Nope. Uh-uh. BRICSA nations (India and the like) will soon jump on the human rights violations bandwagon that we are seeing from China as they, themselves, run abreast with the propaganda machine that we see from RT and the like toward western oligarchs and plutocrats who are at the heart of this turmoil. Yep. These BRICSA nations will become major players in the non-gmo industry which will absolutely be competitive with western agribusiness who, through trade agreements like the tpp which opens the door for American corporations to invade the sovereinty of these nations, comfortably and without legal recourse, inserts itself repeatedly and consistently in the many recent coups we've seen and that drives this and other recent phenomenon across the globe. It's going to get jiggy alright.

I know that I'm talking to myself here but just wanted to add to this that, oh...let's say that with these sanctions against Russia that all of a sudden those calls are broadened for whatever slick reason to include South Africa, or Brazil or India then the gig is up. Everyone is busted who is calling for sanctions. Especially considering that western Agribusiness giants were moving in quick on Ukraine.

Two more BRICSA member nations push back on American Agribusiness/GMOs...

Brazil’s Historic Court Ruling Stops Bayer’s GM Maize Cultivation in that Country

MONSANTO FORCED TO WITHDRAW UNSUBSTANTIATED ADVERTISING CLAIMS ON BENEFITS OF GM CROPS-ADVERTISING STANDARDS AUTHORITY OF SOUTH AFRICA

“We are elated with this decision. Monsanto has already been warned by the ASA as far back as 2007, that it needs to substantiate its claims from an independent and credible expert in the matter of GM Food/M Wells/ 8739 (18 June 2007) regarding its claims of the so called benefits of GM crops. However, it appears Monsanto does not have much regard for South African law as it is hell bent on disseminating false information to the South African public, “ said Mariam Mayet, Executive Director of the ACB.
South Africa...

Brazil...

“The Brazilian Court annulled the decision by Brazil’s Biosecurity Commission (CTNBio), who had allowed the release for cultivation of Liberty Link GM Maize. The civil action against CTNBio was started by Land Rights, the Brazilian Institute for Consumer Defense – IDEC and the National Association of Small Farmers.

“The decision is reported to have created new legal paradigm and may force Brazilian authorities to reconsider all other commercial releases of GMOs in Brazil. Never before has a Judge stated that there is a need for studies on the negative impacts of GMOs in all major biomes in the country.”

Rand Paul Just Outed Himself

by eric • March 17, 2014

Rand Paul is one of them.

Maybe they got to him. Maybe they have the negatives. Or maybe he was just never one of us, no matter how much some of us may have hoped he might be. It doesn’t matter why. What does matter is that Rand Paul has added his voice to the neocon warble that could very well lead the world to a nuclear war over . . . Crimea.

It’s the Sarajevo of 2014.

Why the ruckus? Power politics, of course. There is oil in them that hills, for one. Well, natural gas. Lots of it. Oceans of it, in fact. All set to be sold to Europe for other-than-dollars. This is an affront the Petro-dollar’s puppets in the Offal Office cannot abide. They went Medieval on Saddam – and then, Muammar – for precisely this reason.

And will do so again.

The United State (singular on purpose) would be wrecked if any major player got away with trading energy without trading it for dollars. Putin threatens to do this. Ergo, Putin must go. The problem – for you and me and everyone else caught in the middle of this maelstrom – is that unlike Saddam or Muammar – Vladimir does have weapons of mass destruction. The real deal, too. Not a handful of low-yield first-gen atomic M80s, either. And he has the means to send them our way. This – and the fact that a serious white person such as ex-KGB Colonel Putin holds the launch codes ought to give a sane person pause.

It was thought – briefly – that Rand Paul was sane.

Clearly, he is not.

In a just-published Time article, the son of the usually-sensible Ron Paul writes: “It is America’s duty to condemn these actions in no uncertain terms. It is our role as a global leader to be the strongest nation in opposing Russia’s latest aggression.” Italics added for obvious – depressing – reasons.

And then, this:

“Putin must be punished for violating the Budapest Memorandum, and Russia must learn that the U.S. will isolate it if it insists on acting like a rogue nation . . .Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine a gross violation of that nation’s sovereignty and an affront to the international community.”

Except Putin did not invade Ukraine, the people of Crimea voted overwhelmingly to join Russia (self-determination, anyone?) and the “international community” is a rhetorical fiction deployed by warmongers like George W. Bush, Barack Obama and – now – Rand Paul.

By joining them, he’s proved he can’t beat them. Or doesn’t want to beat them. Or can’t be trusted to try.

Regardless, he’s given all of you fair warning. In the immortal words of The Chimp:

Fool me once, shame on… shame on… won’t get fooled again.

Exactly why the libertarian community needs to reject Rand Paul.

Watered down and downright neocon principles are not going to save this country.

Dump Rand.

 

[Fredom101]

Reagan won a cold war. No reason to think that Rand can't, too.

Bullshit. He blew up the debt ceiling and started us on a path of economic destruction. He didn't "win" anything, communism simply was going to fail on its own.

Merkel says nein to sanctions...

German Chancellorin Merkel Against Impositions of Economic Sanctions on Russia

Merkel said in Berlin on Wednesday after talks with South Korean President Park Geun-hye that the West “has not reached a stage that implies the imposition of economic sanctions” on Moscow.

‘“And I hope we will be able to avoid it,’ she said. ‘I am not interested in escalation. On the contrary, I am working on de-escalation of the situation.’
“German experts say economic sanctions against Russia that Western countries could impose for Russia’s position on the situation in Ukraine and Crimea would negatively affect Germany’s economy.

“The German-Russian trade in 2013 totaled 76 billion euros; some 6,000 German companies do business with Russian enterprises; the overall volume of their investment totals 20 billion euros. Some 300,000 jobs in Germany depend on the country’s economic relations with Russia.”

Aside... http://www.hydrocarbons-technology.com/projects/negp/

Also recall Russia’s expansion of its energy geopolitics with China and India while on course for international clearing that is independent of the west. Russia has already started domestic independent clearing after the skullduggery with the credit card companies.

Continue to keep watchful of space mergers (which really means cyber-security in the area of international clearing). Especially between Russia and Europe. Maybe some purchasing of each others sovereign debt. Then you get France in all of that mix and that oughtta be a real hoot.

Western agribusiness is going to get hit hard too...later on.

Dumb politicians are dumb.

 

[acptulsa]

First I was, like...

Exactly why the libertarian community needs to reject Rand Paul.

Dump Rand.

...this guy needs a negrep for buying the commentator's misrepresentation of Rand's position, and the situation. Putin did not invade Ukraine? That's putting a lot of validity--and a lot of immediacy--on a referendum.

Then I was like...

Bullshit. He blew up the debt ceiling and started us on a path of economic destruction. He didn't "win" anything, communism simply was going to fail on its own.

...time to plus rep this guy for refusing to let the Reaganistas define history.

So, I'm leaving the rep button alone and hoping it all balances out.

I know that I'm talking to myself here but all of this is starting to come to fruition. And then some. Or starting to synergize is perhaps a better term.

I can certainly understand any fear in discussing these realities so if it's a topic that some folks feel is better suited for HT then fine. It needs to be discussed, though. Big things coming down the pipe and some political folks are going to be left a little red faced. Forgetting about it and sticking to Israel speak only isn't going to hide the problem. It's best if folks have a grasp on scope. If nothing else, for informational leverage.

This is probably the most important thing to remain watchful of at the moment. Or a similar scenario.

Be weary of any Bills that are introduced in terms of "Cyber-Security". The people here are probably going to be used as the scapegoat meaning the old "oh, it's for yer safety" gag but it's a bit more intricate than that. So when we hear speak of NSA spying from some of these folks we'll have to really pay attention to what they aren't addressing or mentioneing in terms of what I had mentioned in that linked thread...and probably in greater detail elsewhere around the boards. I don't remember. There are probably abut 20 threads that need merging but, alas, that's out of my control...


This is probably a much more informative thread regarding the coming phenomenon. Monsanto in US Foreign Policy

I don't know. There are a lot of threads about this but they are so spread out because there are so many things that are separate but hadn't yet begun to synergize until now.

I had pm'd Bryan and asked if he could retitle that Monsanto/foreign Policy thread to conform to what we see happening now because it was so predictable at the time but it never happened. Ah, well.
