The following examples reveal how the loss of emotional intelligence affects human thinking and behaviors. JULY 2009 Afghan War Earlier this months, the US military started successful combat operations throughout Afghanistan with the goal to win the hearts and minds of those who can be won, and kill those who refuse to do so. Relying on valuable lessons from Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, the military industrial complex hopes to make at least equally lucrative profits as it did in the previous wars. In the end, we will be victorious, and the defeated nations will like us much better than they ever did. Look at the People's Republic of Korea, our ancient adversary. They love us now. They launched seven ballistic missiles to mark our national holiday. As this example shows, a one-time worthy enemy makes the best friend. Who knows, the Afghans may send us discounted heroin one day. Global Warming The G8 countries have agreed to attack global warming by doing nothing specific. The global temperature will be allowed to rise by 2 degrees Celsius without any opposition; industrial production and emissions will be allowed to increase; countries with the worst pollution standards will continue being manufacturing powerhouses of the world; human consumption of materials and energy will not be curbed in any significant way, and population growth will not be discussed at all. The trends of the human jungle will be allowed to take their "natural course." Swine Flu The US government has decided to vaccinate over 100 million Americans against the swine flu by fall of this year. Instead of closing the national borders at the outbreak, before the swine flu became epidemic, the government chose to do nothing. Now the same government wants to use the opportunity to make extra money. The vaccinations, if implemented, will be totally unnecessary. The virus is relatively harmless to humans and can become dangerous to most people only if it mutates. Naturally, the current vaccine will be ineffective against the mutated virus. Through its criminal negligence, the US government has caused 1 million needless infections, and now the government wants to needlessly vaccinate 100 million Americans. The vaccinations, as usual, will not be safe. They may cause deaths and crippling illnesses. The only thing that matters is monetary profit of the US government and its pharmaceutical buddies. If you remember, the Bush II administration was pushing the vaccinations against the dangers of nonexistent anthrax. The more you learn, the more you realize that the US government is a one-party system. Supreme Court Replacement Who needs Sonia Sotomayor? Who needs a supreme court judge, who is paid $1 million a year for running someone's life? This is a serious problem, and the subjugation is entirely voluntary. We want people like Sotomayor, Clarence, Scalia, Ginsburg, or other member of the most exclusive club in Washington D.C. to run our lives. No, we do not want a democracy by the People and for the People. We want a person standing above the law, who is accountable to no one, to tell us what we may or may not do. We want him or her to tell us what the law is, what we need, and what is best for us. That is the beauty of Psychopathic Democracy. Only when we realize the full meaning of our behaviors, can we understand the statement that democracy is not good for China. The government or just the Gang of Four should, according to the beliefs of many Chinese, make the laws and run people's lives. Although Americans reject such a notion and are vocal about their rights, freedoms, and democracy, they readily submit to the will of the Gang of Five of the Supreme Court. Such blind obedience of an unelected, unaccountable, and perpetual entity that makes decisions about your life is not democracy; it is pure psychopathology. Thus, the behaviors of most Americans have shown that true democracy is not good for the United States either. Deep in their hearts, Americans believe that religious-like dogmatic control by a figurehead is so much better than exercising one's will is. "If only the Iranians could see it that way," Ayatollah Khamenei sighs. Uighur Genocide Meanwhile, the Uighurs (an ethnic minority in western China) have clashed with the Chinese in the city of Ürümqi. Some 30 Uighurs have been killed. In response to the massacre, the Turkish leader, Mr. Erdogan, accused the Chinese of genocide. The Uighurs are ethnically and linguistically close to the Greater Turkish Empire, and genocide of this type cannot be allowed to go unnoticed. Interestingly, the Turkish government categorically rejects the historic fact that the Turks committed genocide of the entire Armenian nation in 1915. Similarly, the genocide of the Kurds by the Turks has not been acknowledged by Mr. Erdogan. The double standards indicate that the Turkish government has a peculiar sense of fairness. Nevertheless, the Turkish attitude does not mean that the Chinese oppression of the Uighurs is justifiable and acceptable. Evil has to be fought by all means, whether it is produced by us or by others. In all fairness, we also oppress the Uighurs. Two dozens of them were kidnapped in Afghanistan, brought to Guantanamo, tortured, and then the Americans invited the Chinese to interrogate the prisoners. No wonder the Chinese love us. We are their best friend - and our worst enemy. National Lottery Have you played national lottery lately and didn't win? If you live in the western USA, your failure to win is understandable. The game is fixed. By the time the ticket-selling places open in the west, easterners have already used up the best numbers. Numbers such as 3, 7, 12, 17, 20, 47, 49 or 50 are very popular and have been overexploited by the eastern crowd. The West is left with unpopular numbers, such as 13, or with numbers hardly anyone heard about, such as 23, 46, 58, or 59. Yes, you could select your own numbers from the eastern popular series, but most westerners ask for a random pick selected by a computer, and that is where all the trouble lies. The computers have been programmed to distribute the best numbers east of the Mississippi, and the unpopular ones are dumped in the western United States. To win in the game, you may have to chose your numbers manually or move east of the big river. Space Travel Once again, Americans are thinking about flying to the moon. They have such a strong need to explore the blue yonder that nothing seems able to stop them. The goal is not an easy one, but is worth it. Consider the benefits. Within mere 8.3 years, moon with its vast free space could become the bread basket of the earth. All the environmental problems we are currently facing (lack of natural resources, high population density, pollution, high prices of commodities, high real estate taxes) could be solved by moving large numbers of earthlings to the moon. The National Office of Spatial Emigration (headquartered in Roswell, New Mexico) is currently taking applications for the first million Lunar Pioneers. The phone number and address of the office can be found in the phone book or on the internet. This website is not associated with the office in any way. Please, do not call us. Call them. And hurry. Applications for 2010 flights must be filed before August 31, 2009. When talking to them, reference the "National Lunatic" program to make sure they will not misplace your registration and do not send you to the mars. The mars flights are tentatively scheduled to begin in 2012, solar wind permitting. Heil Hitler! A German artist, Ottmar Hörl, was in big trouble last week. He has created a gnome that raises his right hand in a way the Germans used to salute Adolf Hitler. The state wanted to prosecute him for the crime. In America it is called "freedom of expression", but the Germans consider it a crime to manifest their beliefs, history, culture, and identity by raising the right hand. After the initial shock, the prosecutors realized that the gnome was not promoting Nazism, but was ridiculing them. Even they accepted that it is pretty clear that prosecutors are silly and that they do silly things. By contrast, in the United States, you can be sent to jail just for raising your middle finger. Obama Imitates Bush The more you watch Bush II and Obama, the more they look alike. During his meeting with the Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki at the White House on July 22, 2009, Obama placed his hand on the prime minister's back. This familiar patting gesture by American statesmen has been so powerful throughout history. In a loose translation into Arabic, the meaning is this: Good boy Nouri, good boy. We love little strongmen who are pro-American. Just make sure you stay that way. Because if you turn against us, we will liquidate you the same way we took care of Saddam. Good boy, indeed. Sit! Stay! Right to Bear Arms The US Senate recently rejected a law that would allow licensed citizens to carry their concealed weapons across state lines. The rejection of the law does not affect criminals who do so illegally. Similarly, absence of such a law does not affect private export of weapons to Mexico. Over 90% of all firearms used by Mexican drug cartels came from the USA illegally and are, therefore, exempt from US laws. Anemic Wars Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan with several divisions. Obama is trying to do more with fewer troops. With just 59,000 US and 20,000 NATO troops, Obama wants to defeat Afghanistan. By contrast, US experts estimate that America needs 700,000 combat troops on the ground to be victorious. Furthermore, the original conflict has grown beyond the two invaded countries. Pakistan is involved in the fighting, and Iran is worried because of an imminent threat posed by Judeo-American forces in the air, and to the east and west. Similarly, Syria is getting nervous because of Judeo-American air raids into Syrian territory. Iraq nervously watches as the Peshmerga assert their dominance over the Kurdistan and its oil fields. Turkey scrutinizes the Kurds and daily fires or intrudes into northern Iraqi territory. India plays power games in the borderland and tries to weaken Pakistan any way possible. Arabic countries are worried that Iran could become a regional superpower, and Russia and China cannot wait to see the US fail. The numbers and the complexity of the conflict indicate that America and its allies have entered a blind alley. To add to the problem, there is growing discontent with the wars in Europe, and America has its own problems. America is close to become financially ruined. There is no money to finance the wars, and individual US states have huge unemployment and big budget deficits. At this point, America has two sensible options. Cut and run, or enlarge the conflict and create employment in the war industry. Continuing the conflicts as usual creates a potential for causing internal collapse of the USA. It never had to come to this, but psychopathology took its natural course and got America into this mess. AUGUST 2009 Idiotic English Linguists know that English is a heavily idiomatic language. Largely because of political correctness, English has also become idiotic. One of the main reasons is that a singular neuter word is often combined with the plural form "their", while the verb is usually left in the singular form. The constructs, in addition to being grammatically inconsistent, may result in logical incongruities of animation, meddling, telepathy, or other forms. A few examples follow: Animation
Transpositional Meddling
Telepathic Transposition

Climate Change The Pentagon has recently acknowledged that worldwide climate change will destabilize many areas in the sphere of American Interests. The situation may require American military involvement. Needless to say, there will be a strong effort by foreign countries to seize our natural resources. The facts are clear, and we must remain vigilant. America and only America is a Nation Under God. Neither Canada nor Russia, nor China, nor India, nor any other Godless country has been given God's permission to use our natural resources hidden under the sand of the Middle East, in the rain forests of Africa, in the desert of Sahara, in America's Northern Territories, and in other as yet undiscovered places. Needles to say, we will not give our uranium, natural gas, or crude oil reserves lying under the arctic ice to others. Needless to say, we will not let other countries fish for red herring in our Arctic Ocean. Needless to say, we will defend our Greenlandic ice sheet against theft by thirsty adversaries. Needless to say, climate change will lead to a struggle for the survival of the fittest. America, as God's preferred country, will be blessed. Other countries will have ruined economies, crop failures, famine, and infectious diseases, but America will thrive, and its military will be victorious. Needless to say, foreign enemies of America pose a big problem. But we have an even more formidable adversary much closer to home. Countries of the arid southwest have suffered long periods of drought and excessive heat. In no time, life will become unbearable in the Southwestern Confederation, from Texas to California. Instead of seeing Winter Texans heading from the Midwest south, there will be a huge summer migration from the southwest to Minnesota and Michigan. Including undocumented workers, there may be an 80-million-strong crowd foraging northward. If these invaders are not stopped, they will overrun America. Needless to say, this is where we need Pentagon most. We need to stop the march at the Rio Grande. A second line of defense will be the Grand Canyon. A third line of defense will be the canyons of Utah. Whether it takes tactical nuclear weapons, or common ordinance, or God's intervention, American civilization must be preserved. Needless to say, failure is not an option. As the presented facts hint, climate change will place the Pentagon into a pivotal role. Every true American understands these facts. Needless to say, these facts need not be mentioned and have been discussed unnecessarily. SEPTEMBER 2009 Arctic Sea Last month the world watched a case of mysterious piracy involving the cargo ship "Arctic Sea." This ship is owned by a Finnish company and operates under the Maltese flag with a Russian crew. The bulkhead of the Arctic Sea had been extensively worked on in a Russian dock in Kaliningrad for two weeks. Then the ship traveled to Finland to pick up lumber. The cargo was intended for Algeria. But something unusual happened in Swedish waters, and here begins a saga of mysteries. A group of men approached the ship in an inflatable boat and boarded the ship. The ship crew was rounded up and shackled at gunpoint. Some time later, the Swedish police received a call from the ship that it was attacked by pirates. The attackers reportedly searched the ship for possible drugs and left. A week later, the ship passed through the English channel and disappeared. The Finnish, Maltese, and Russians appealed to the international community for help. NATO gave the Russians the coordinates of the ship. The Russians confirmed that the data agreed with their knowledge. Half of the Russian fleet was dispatched to intercept the ship. This happened at the islands of Capo Verde, west of northern Africa. Seeing the Russian destroyer Ladny, the hijackers reportedly threw their firearms overboard and surrendered. Two or three heavy cargo airplanes arrived from Russia to pick up fifteen crewmen and eight hijackers. Both groups of men were taken to Moscow prison and kept in confinement for a number of days. The crew were released with the reminder that they may not reveal state secrets, while the hijackers were paraded on Russian television. Estonia recognized six of them as criminals with Estonian residency. The strangest part of the episode is the easy surrender, without firing a shot. The hijackers do not seem angry or scared, just sad, as if disappointed. One has to wonder what is behind it. There have been many theories about a military cargo on the ship. The most plausible explanation is that the ship carried an anti-aircraft rocket system that could have been hidden in the hull of the ship. The puzzling issue relates to the bulkhead. What could it possibly hide? A huge antenna or a mini-submarine? Some people considered nuclear weapons, but this idea is unlikely. The Russians do not share their nuclear technology easily. The answer to the mystery might be found by identifying the country of destination. Syria feels threatened by Israel. To protect itself, Syria has asked Russia for the delivery of eight Mig-31 aircraft. To further boost its defenses, Syria may have purchased an anti-aircraft system featuring the S-300 rockets. The next possible customer is Iran. Iran would benefit from having a strong anti-aircraft system that could repel an Israeli air raid. But Iran could receive the shipment directly over the Caspian sea. There would be no need to go through other countries. Another possible destination could be Saudi Arabia, which has recently signed a two-billion dollar arms deal with Russia. Interestingly, the day after the Arctic Sea was rescued, the prime minister or president of Israel unexpectedly arrived in Moscow. This event suggests that the Arctic Sea had a cargo that was of great importance to Israel. Another interesting point is that Israel did not object to the attempted delivery of the cargo. The Moscow visit was only triggered by the failed delivery. And just as interesting is international protocol. As a head of a state, you do not just hop on an airplane to visit the president of Russia. Such visits are planned months and years in advance. The easy access of the Israeli leadership to the Kremlin has only been possible because of close business relations during the last few years. And these facts answer what happened. Russia sent some illicit cargo on the Arctic Sea. The operation was top secret, but became known to Israel, NATO, and other parties. The hijackers boarded the ship with the intent to disrupt the delivery or discredit Russia and the country of destination. The enormous operation could not have been planned and carried out by some low-level criminals. A state had to be behind it. The hijackers needed intelligence, equipment, and the know-how. It looks like the hijackers have been set up. They had no clue they were messing with Russia. The operation failed, and the arrested men showed sadness because they are likely to spend the rest of their lives in a Russian gulag. But that does not answer what happened on the ship. The hijackers apparently boarded the ship, but were quickly subdued by the Russian crew. Nonetheless, the Russians panicked; their secret mission had been uncovered. From here on, the Russian crew, in cooperation with Moscow, started improvising a cover-up. Moscow could not decide what to do. Should the plan go ahead, or should it be scrapped? After a week, comrade Medvedev sent out the Russian navy to "rescue" the ship and return its valuable cargo to Russia. And NATO was more than willing to tell the Russians where the "missing" Arctic Sea was. NATO showed no anger over the secret cargo nor tried to intercept it. NATO knew that the cargo was not intended for a Muslim country. NATO knew that the bulkhead of the ship contained nuclear material for Israel. That is why the Israeli prime minister or president flew to Moscow; he went to claim his cargo. In reality, as an anonymous senior government official revealed, both the prime minister and the president of Israel visited the Kremlin that day. Furthermore, the men were accompanied by a slim woman dressed in a burka. The anonymous official believes that the person may have been Condoleeza Rice. The party entered the office of comrade Medvedev, when the anonymous observer overheard: "Damn it, Dimitrii, I have already paid for it!" "I am sorry, Ben. My hands are tied. Putin runs the show." OCTOBER 2009 Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize Naturally, like everyone else in America, we are deeply disturbed by this injustice. The man received one of the most prestigious awards despite doing nothing special. In fact, some might even say that he has acted stupidly. What has he done that merits such a recognition? Nothing special, indeed. All the hard work was done by Mr. President George W. Bush. He should have gotten the award. For those who fail to see this obvious injustice, here are a few historical facts: President Bush single-handedly fought hostile aggressors. He had to go to the UN to make his case against evil that struck America on 9/11/2001. He had to establish alliances with former Soviet republics and the Northern Alliance to bring peace, justice, progress, and economic development to Afghanistan. President Bush had to find Al Qaeda in Iraq. He had to discover the weapons of mass destruction the evil Iraqi regime was using to threaten Israel and peace in the Middle East. President Bush removed the brutal dictator from Baghdad. President Bush authorized troops surge to guarantee peace in the liberated Iraq. President Bush made strategic alliance with Pakistan to thwart the expansion of the Taliban in tribal areas. President Bush devised the strategy of targeting individual militant leaders hiding along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. It was the President's effort and diligent work against worldwide terror that has brought the world peace and order. Unfortunately, because of term limit imposed by a liberal Congress, President Bush was unable to continue and finish his peaceful mission. And now, a rookie shows up on the scene and takes all the credit for President Bush's achievements. What has this Barrack Hussein Obama done? Increased the number of troops in Afghanistan? That was a natural progression of Mr Bush's plan. Promoted General McCrystal? That was Mr. Bush's intent. He selected McCrystal, trained him, and prepared him for today's job. Has Obama built at least one terrorist reeducation camp to contain evil? No, he has not. He is talking about dismantling Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and Baghram. So what on earth did he get his award for? He has done absolutely nothing positive. We are truly outraged that Mr. President Bush has not received his well-deserved recognition. Despite this injustice, or just because of it, we in Texas are proud of our President. Well, to be frank, we do not exactly live in Texas, but we are very close neighbors who have good international relationships. We live just north of the border, so to speak. Many people do not know it, but there is a mountain in southern New Mexico from where you can see right down to Texas. In addition to the physical proximity, our two countries used to be part of the same continent of Mexico. Because of this common origin, we have the same food, language, and culture. We are truly close in body and heart. Not to mention the fact that all my exes live in Tejas. NOVEMBER 2009 Obama and the Gate Crashers Just when we though that everything about President Obama has become known, we learn that he has a secret admirer. Not just one pretty woman or one handsome man, but a heterosexual couple from Virginia. The SS (short for Secret Service) is trying to prosecute them for visiting their favorite president without an invitation. How they were able to enter the White House without being on a list of guests is a mystery, but incompetence of the SS appears to be the main reason. The couple may have lied a little or twisted the truth to get inside, but that should not be a prosecutable offense. Let us keep in mind that the US Congress specifically voted to make a political lie non-prosecutable. The same laws must apply to both common people and politicians. We cannot prosecute gate crashers for telling white lies when our presidents and congressmen, who lie big, are immune to prosecution. Justice must be administered equally. | |
