Jeepers! I'm runnin out of ideas!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
 

PCP Says: REJECT THE ANTI-CLONE AGENDA!

 

The Pro Clone Party urges all progressive people to reject the ammendment to the Missouri Constitution that would out law cloning known as the 'Missouri Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative' .

 

    As our party's fliers have explained, this is a violation of the civil rights of identical twins – for they are truly clones, too. Will it be illegal for parents to conceive and bring identical twins(clones) to term? Everyone should think hard about the implications of this radical constitutional ammendment.

 

    Just as in the Bible it explains that Eve is created as a clone (and GMO) of Adam, we publicly call for cloning to be used as fully as possible to enhance human life. There is a limitless potential for cloning of humans and animals to be used to solve this planet's many pressing problems, from environmental devestation to overpopulation. Will we stare at the abyss of a real-life Cornocopia and not plunge in?

 

The Pro Clone Party says, "Clones today, clones tomorrow, clones forever!"


Jeepers!

October 9, 2006.



Pat Buchanan's latest book is a white nationalist rant -- but that hasn't stopped it from climbing the best-seller charts.

Since the start of his latest book tour, Patrick Buchanan has appeared on just about every major television and cable network in the country, often more than once. He's been on NBC's "Today" show, the three most watched news programs on FOX, CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," and countless radio programs. During one four-day period in late August, the author was welcomed on no less than five NBC-affiliated programs. Together, these appearances have made Buchanan's new book, State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America, a runaway bestseller.

The three-time presidential candidate is no stranger to the major media, being personally acquainted with many of those who interviewed him. A veteran columnist with the Creators Syndicate and an analyst for MSNBC, Buchanan was a founding member of three prime-time network or cable channel talk shows and has written for many of the nation's major newspapers and magazines. That might explain the kid-gloves treatment he got from virtually all his interviewers, most of whom did not seem to have read or understood the book they were helping to publicize.

In fact, the book reflects racial views that have now veered to the extreme. White America is changing color, Buchanan argues -- "one of the greatest tragedies in human history." The Mexican government is involved in a plot to take over the Southwestern United States, and parts of this country already look like the "Third World." The segregated South wasn't all bad "culturally" -- blacks and whites were united, after all. America, despite what its founders wrote, was a nation formed not on the basis of creed but rather a homogenous ethnic culture. To put it plainly, State of Emergency is a white nationalist tract. The thesis is that America must retain a white majority to survive as a nation. It is rooted in a blood-and-soil nationalism more blood than soil. The echoes of Nazi ideology are clear and chilling. As Buchanan helpfully explained to John King, who was interviewing him in one of his several CNN appearances: "We gotta get into race and ethnic questions."

State of Emergency unapologetically reflects Buchanan's insistence on the centrality of race to the United States and its culture. "This idea of America as a creedal nation bound together not by 'blood or birth or soil' but by 'ideals' that must be taught and learned ... is demonstrably false," Buchanan writes in the book.

Simply put, America is not a nation of ideas. It is a nation of people -- white people. Buchanan is especially overt in making this case when he endorses the view of his late mentor and editor Sam Francis, that American and European civilizations could never have been created without the "genetic endowments" of whites. He goes on to describe discussions of race as "the Great Taboo"; to ignore the role of race, he adds, is "like not telling one's doctor of a recurring pain that could kill you."

None of this seems to bother Buchanan's cheerleaders.

"Congratulations on the response to your book," said Lou Dobbs, the CNN anchorman who has made a profession of attacking illegal immigration in story after story after story, as he introduced his old CNN colleague. Dobbs then offered up his own view that President Bush was carrying on an "outright war" against middle-class Americans by allowing illegal immigration. Wrapping up the interview, Dobbs concluded: "The book is State of Emergency. It's No. 3 on the best-selling list. ... I'm going to repeat it one more time. The book is State of Emergency. Pat Buchanan, always good to talk to you. ... [Y]ou've got a lot of readers, so keep it rolling."

Dobbs isn't the only one helping Buchanan keep his book rolling.

James Edwards, a former volunteer in Buchanan's 2000 presidential campaign and current host of the Memphis AM radio show "The Political Cesspool," did his part, too. But this show was no mainstream broadcast. It has featured an array of past and present Klansmen and neo-Nazis, a veritable "Who's Who" of the radical right. In an exultant E-mail sent out by the radio show after Buchanan was featured, long-time white supremacist Winston Smith celebrated.

"Don't ever let anyone tell you that this broadcast doesn't matter, my friends," he wrote, "because when the likes of Pat Buchanan agrees to be on your program, he does so only after his people have researched the program and decided it's in their interest."

State of Emergency is not the first book to reflect Buchanan's racialist philosophy. In 2002, Buchanan's The Death of the West warned white Christendom against a looming demographic tipping point. (The book's message so energized former Klan leader David Duke that Duke fantasized on his own radio show last year about winning the presidency with Buchanan as his running mate.) It was in that book -- edited by Francis, chief ideologue of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens -- that Buchanan first began using the explicit language of white nationalism. In his footnotes to The Death of the West, the former Nixon speechwriter even cited the late William Pierce, author of the race-war novel The Turner Diaries (the blueprint for the Oklahoma City bombing) and the founder of America's then-leading neo-Nazi group, to back up his own arguments.

Once again, to make his case in State of Emergency, Buchanan relies on a trove of extreme-right sources. His urgent call for thwarting the "invasion" of non-European immigrants leans heavily on material written by hate group members or postings on hate sites, with citations to nearly every sector of the hate movement, from neo-Nazis to neo-Confederates. He cites the work of white supremacist James Lubinskas; Edward Rubinstein, of the white nationalist think tank National Policy Institute; Clyde Wilson, a board member of the racist and secessionist League of the South; and Wayne Lutton, a veteran immigrant- and gay-hater. Buchanan also quotes Lutton's anti-immigrant hate journal The Social Contract.

Buchanan is equally schooled in hate from abroad, mentioning work of British white supremacist Derek Turner published in the American hate journal The Occidental Quarterly, which argues "the civilization and free governments that whites have created" will collapse as they become a minority. And Buchanan knows the oldies-but-goodies, quoting English politician Enoch Powell approvingly at the beginning of his final chapter. Powell was dumped by the Tory leadership in 1968 for claiming that non-white immigration would cause "rivers of blood" to flow in Britain; he has been a white nationalist icon ever since. (In the book, Buchanan claims Powell was essentially correct in his analysis of the problem, but that his "Rivers of Blood" speech was taken out of its original context and distorted.)

Buchanan is especially enamored of his deceased friend Sam Francis, the white supremacist who was fired in 1995 by The Washington Times for breaking the "race taboo" and went on to a 10-year career editing the Citizens Informer, a bimonthly newsletter put out by the Council of Conservative Citizens, which grew out of the segregationist White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and '60s. Far more than Buchanan's friend and editor, Francis was his mentor. Buchanan knows Francis' racist oeuvre inside and out, citing some seven Francis pieces. Buchanan's basic argument in State of Emergency -- America should be a white country and dark-skinned immigrants threaten it -- was made by Francis for years.

Now, through his old friend Buchanan, Francis continues to be heard from beyond the grave.

Patrick Buchanan: In His Own Words

Excerpts from State of Emergency, The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America:

"Our ancestors were not paralyzed by guilt. Confident in their culture and civilization, they believed in their superiority over what Kipling had called the 'lesser breeds without the law.'"

"Was not Western civilization vastly superior to the indigenous civilizations it encountered and crushed, from the Aztecs and Incas in the Americas to the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist civilizations from Africa to the Far East?"

"Against the will of the vast majority of Americans, America is being transformed ... we are witness to one of the greatest tragedies in human history."

"Though the South remained segregated [before the Civil Rights movement], culturally, we were one."

"California is becoming -- indeed, has become -- a Third World state."

"Thus the world's finest five-star hotel, the United States of America, becomes the flophouse for the planet."

"Since Americans of European descent -- unlike Germans -- are not into sackcloth-and- ashes, but take immense pride in their ancestor's achievements and bridle at reverse discrimination, it is hard to see a happy future of peace and reconciliation [if white guilt continues]."

"This idea of America as a creedal nation bound together not by 'blood or birth or soil' but by 'ideals' that must be taught and learned ... is demonstrably false."

"America faces an existential crisis. If we do not get control of our borders, by 2050 Americans of European descent will be a minority in the nation their ancestors created and built."

"A new border war has begun with the first signs of an 'intifada' to retake control of the Southwest."

Book drive for Irish RSPOWS

A Cháirde,

For the past two decades, the Irish Republican Socialist
Committees of North America has sent books into INLA prisoners of war
during the holday season, to demonstrate the solidarity with them
expressed by the many supporters of the Irish Republican Socialist
Party in Canada and the United States.

Over the years, these donations have contributed to the once
impressive library of the INLA wing at Long Kesh and the ongoing
library of the INLA wing at Portlaoise. We are again initiating a
call to all supporters of INLA POWs to make a contribution this year
to the effort.

We welcome donations of new or used books on
socialism, syndicalism, anarchism, Irish history, anti-imperialist
struggles of other nations, liberation struggles against sexism and
hetrosexism, radical works on sociology, anthropology, political
economy, Irish language texts, and novels with strong political
themes. We also welcome cash contributions, because the cost of
sending these packages of books to the POWs can be quite expensive.

In order to ensure that they reach the POWs by the holidays, we need
to ask that donations be sent to the IRSCNA by November 1st. Those
wishing to donate, please send to:

Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America
PO Box 8266
Austin TX 78713-8266
USA

In solidarity,
Prison Welfare Officer,
Irish Republican Socialist Movement

Apology Owed

The Family of Volunteer Patsy O'Hara, Irish National Liberation Army
• 11 August 2006

The Sinn Fein 81 Committee have organised 'Night of Remembrance for Hunger
Striker and INLA Volunteer Mickey Devine', in Derry's Guildhall on the
evening of August 19th.

We call upon The Ex-Lord Mayor of Derry City, Lynn Fleming (Sinn Fein), to
use this opportunity to formally apologise, on behalf of the provisional
Republican movement, to the Devine and O Hara families for the harassment
and attacks which both suffered at the hands of their members, during many
months, which in turn contributed to the imprisonment of Patsy and Mickey
in 1976.

It was due to death threats from the provisional movement upon the
Republican Socialist Movement, which in turn directly led Mickey and Patsy
to raid an arms shop in Lifford Co Donegal. During this raid they took 28
medium to low calibre rifles, to protect both themselves and the Movement
to which they belonged.

Both (along with two others) were later arrested in Derry and charged with
possession with intent.

The charges against Patsy were dropped due to no evidence. The other 3,
including Mickey, were later sentenced to 12 years.

If no threats had been made upon the membership and extended families of
the RSM, then it would have been unlikely that Mickey would have found
himself imprisoned during this period in time.

Patsy had received a beating from a group of up to 13 of the provisional
movement a few weeks previous to these threats.

As a family, we have enormous admiration for the Volunteers of the IRA who
fought the British war machine to a standstill. But the actions of some of
those members (including its Derry leadership) fell far short of the noble
aims, objectives, and conduct of that which a freedom fighter's should be.

It is a truly sad reflection upon this organisation that they were busier
harassing, threatening and attempting to prevent Irish Republican
Socialist revolutionaries like Patsy and Mickey from conducting attacks
against British army and RUC personnel.....than they were persuing
republican objectives themselves.

We also acknowledge the genuine people involved in the above committee who
have worked tirelessly for months in setting up fitting commemorations for
the ten H Block Hunger Strikers.

And, as they have taken it upon themselves to organise this night of
remembrance for Republican Socialist freedom fighter Mickey Devine — a
leading member of the Irish National Liberation Army (without, we may add,
any invitation to the RSM to participate in, or formally attend the
event!), let them take the opportunity to formally acknowledge and
apologise to our families.

Updates for my peeps

YEE-HAH!

The people of Conneticut finally did what most of us would love to do (if there were decent alternative candidates!): they threw a pro-war, Shrub-lover out! In case you didn't hear, Joe Lieberman lost the Dem Party primary in his state. Joe Lieberman is the 'democratic' politician famous for making out with Bush and being well friendly with the arms industries. He has promised to run as an 'independent' to demonstrate his contempt for the 'democratic' process. The poor warmonger looked like he might cry when he found out!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5258582.stm

So I'm travelling this weekend! Flying out to Chicago for a hunger strike commemoration. This will be in remembrance of the 25th Anniversary of the Irish Hunger Strikes, and unfortunately our POWS face similar threats they did back then. They must still struggle for political status against the British criminalisation policy. Everyone should help out however they can, visit www.ip-sc.info for more.

Chicago will be an amazing time, I've got lots planned. There will be the Dublin v Westmeath match at the pub, ( http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=64878 ) the commemoration, playing and coaching some football, and so on. I'm not staying with the usual suspects. I've got something different arranged for my accomodation, (shhh, don't tell) and I'm staying longer than I had originally planned.

We're selling tickets for our raffle at the commemoration. They're only $10, if you want one (or a million) just email info@wemustbeunited.com

I just saw the amazing film Paradise Now. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's an eye opening look at the occupation of Palestine that the pro-Zionist media doesn't show. This was some of the best performances I've ever seen - the natural humanity and humour on display made you wonder if these were really actors.

My peeps are doing a RAWK OPERA! It's going to be not only a Rawk Opera, but an epic by any literary measurement. Feel the vibe here: www.xanga.com/onetruegod

Though it was 102F here, I had to finish the move out of my roommate's place, mostly furniture, hahaha. I'm happy for him cos I think this will be a good bit of domestic anchoring for him! I wish him well in his new life. I'll have my own place now which is exciting.

One of my good friends and comrades in Ireland sent me a CD of Damien Dempsey. It's good, which is the problem - the heartbreaking songs are too well crafted!!!

I've also got a pile of Proclomation Republic fliers by Rising Youth. They are in Irish and English. If you want one, holla. 

The Free People's Movement has been under severe attack. One of their members was imprisoned by the Dept of Homeland Security. He and another member face jail time for unrelated charges stemming from political activity. They need all the support they can get. if you want to help them out, visit www.freepeoplesmovement.org
