The Ugly Slobs Couldn't Fight the War Against Tooth Decay

John Rosenthal, who is one seriously astute SOB, ask rather plainly why it is the Europeans wanted to depose Muammar Qadaffi if they wern't willing to try and win it?

Gates indicated that the US has no vital interest there, and HR Clinton indicated that it was a vital interest based on "our NATO allies saying it was int THEIR vital interest". Since then, it seemed to have stopped being in their vital interest.

The Italians, it seems took a healthier approach: to just no take sides. It looks like UK and French communication fo "vital interest" rolled down-hill to hit the US and then Italy.

Secretary Clinton's inclusion of Italy in the list was dubious to begin with. In fact, from the start of the unrest in Libya, the Italian government warned about taking sides in the conflict and supporting the rebellion. For example, in an interview published on February 23 in the Italian daily Il Corriere della Sera, Foreign Minister Franco Frattini alluded to the creation of an "Islamic Emirate" in the eastern-Libyan heartland of the rebellion. "We do not know more [about it]," Frattini told Il Corriere. "But we know that they are dangerous. There are elements of al-Qaeda there."
The Italian government's caution was hardly surprising, given that the February 17 protests that sparked the rebellion were called to commemorate protests five years earlier that had culminated in the storming of the Italian consulate in Benghazi by an angry mob. Several local residents were killed when Libyan security forces attempting to protect the consulate opened fire on the mob. The outrage of the protesters was tied to the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten and other European newspapers. (On the 2006 protests, see my article "Our Principles? The Libyan Insurrection and the Mohammed Cartoons.")

The Italian reluctance to support a military intervention also had to do with fears of seeing such an intervention provoke an exodus of tens of thousands of refugees from Libya, many of whom would inevitably end up in Italy. These fears have proven well founded.

But now, according to a report in the Saturday edition of Il Corriere della Sera, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has confided to colleagues not only that he was opposed to the NATO intervention in Libya, but that he was pressured into making available Italian military capabilities by precisely the United States. According to the report, Berlusconi recalled that "at the time I had warned our international partners, and also at home I had explained that the operation would not be easy . . ." "But," Berlusconi is reported to have continued, "in the face of the pressures exerted by the United States, the position of [Italian president Giorgio] Napolitano, and the vote [in favor of the intervention] by our parliament, what could I do?"

Thanks for throwing us another Curveball, spankers.

If this Doesn't Work, They'll ask you to Start Hoarding Canned Food

ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said the central bank's controversial program of buying government paper in an effort to stabilize markets, inactive since March, was ongoing. "You will see what we do,'' he told a news conference.

Be afraid.

The EU is setting up the ultimate moral hazard: buying up member government bonds to backstop them. They will then have to find buyers for the stuff.

It also raised questions about whether the ECB was waiting for Rome and Madrid to take extra fiscal adjustment measures before it will buy their bonds, or whether the central bank was unable to agree on widening the scope of bond-buying to them.

The ECB were certainly waited out by the "provincials" who only need to stay mum to out-maneuver Trichet.

This is the equivalent of a couple of California-sized states issuing bonds left and right knowing that the more bogus the prospect, the more likely that the Federal government will "save" them by buying those obligations up. Not only is there no-one else out there that can be bullied or to pawn this crap off on, it could cause an outflow and inflation at the same time.

Next step, of course is to see internecine cat fights. But first you'll hear some actual, real-life economics being theorized:

"I note that the Bank of Japan today launched quantitative easing and the Swiss central bank cut rates to zero. We are waiting for (ECB) decisions if possible, but desirable,'' he said. Tremonti said when he talked to Asian investors, they said: "If your central bank doesn't buy your bonds, why should we buy them?''

Bring popcorn.

Sometimes a Smurf is Just a Good Smoke

Reviving a truly sad academic theory from the 1980's, normally kicked around by undergrads desperate for a subject to write about, it has returned. Strangely enough, having mocked it a few times here is usually sufficient to eliminate it from the zeitgeist:

"The workers own all the capital equally, and there is no upper class of owners/capitalists to oppress them," wrote Mr. Schmidt, author of the book "Secrets of Pop Culture," in an email. "Unlike real-life Marxist countries, the Smurfs managed this feat without resorting to totalitarianism or repressing personal freedom, so it is a utopia."

In other words: Smurfs = the happy proletariat, Gargamel = USA

Yep. You read that right. It does betray some of the modern delusion people have about real, living socialism, which assumes that it's a caring, therapeutic sort of society. It wasn't and it isn't.

It held and holds rather bluntly that if you don't work, you don't eat. The ankle-biting modern promoters of "that other way" seem in large part to be allergic to the first half of that dictum.

The pedantic lifelessness of the argument wasn't enough to stop a Parisian academic, seemingly as desperate for a subject to write about as those undergrads of old.

All of the above was more than enough fodder for Parisian academic Antoine Bueno, who in June published a treatise on the topic, the aptly named "Little Blue Book." In its 250 pages, the 33-year-old university lecturer argued that Smurf society represents a "totalitarian utopia drenched in Stalinism"; in subsequent interviews, he claimed the Smurfs also were racist, and that Gargamel was an anti-Semitic caricature.

Not to mention the reaction of the "therapeutic culture":

The same Smurf fans who approved of a 2005 UNICEF television ad that depicted the Smurf village being bombed by fighter jets - the better to raise money for ex-child soldiers in Africa - called Mr. Bueno's book a disgrace. Thierry Culliford, son of the deceased Smurfs creator, called the author's take "grotesque."

Are we getting carried away here? No, the line of thought that believes that an animated feature about an anatomically incorrect panda says something about geopolitical theory has:

In his YouTube video, Mr. Topham does Mr. Bueno one better, noting widespread Internet belief that "Smurf" is an acronym for "Socialist Men Under Red Father."

And yet it the majority of humans who are told that they suffer from "false consciousness" by neo-coms and "scholars" looking anywhere and everywhere for affirmation of their ideas.

Two years ago, a Canadian professor was ridiculed for writing that Thomas the Tank Engine propagated a sexist, ultraconservative ideology. As opposed to being, well, a smiling choo-choo train.

For heaven's sake, how much more proof do you need? Isn't it obvious that Thomas the Tank Engine is an unwitting shill of the conspiratorial patriarchy rubbing their handlebar moustaches as they gurgle in glee?

Defend Socialist Land of Peace !

Hanguk Story has got the plot.

In his dream, an American fleet invades North Korea. The protagonist and his friends try to defend by firing artillery shells made of pencils, but the protagonist doesn't know how to use protractor to aim. Overwhelmed by the evil American fleet, he wakes up from the dream. He says something along the line of "I must study hard and pay attention in class so I can be a great soldier to fight against the Americans". The rest is math lessons.

Work hard, kid. Lil' Kim needs his hookers and smack.

German Woman Leaving Paris Muses About What She Will Miss and What She Won't

Could there be any worse time to leave Paris?

asks Katrin Bennhold, a German working for the New York Times' International Herald Tribune offspring who indeed is leaving France (in spite of being six months pregnant) for a post in London.

On the long list of things to miss about France, the climate, public transport and generous amounts of vacation do of course feature prominently.

But, for this woman at least, none of that can beat a combination of free preschools, family allowances, tax deductions for each child, a paid, four-month maternity leave and to top it all off, an extended course of gymnastics, complete with personal trainer and electric stimulation devices, to get you and your birth canal muscles back into shape, courtesy of the taxpayer.

…I have another list, a much shorter one, of all the things I won’t miss about France: the overrated coffee, the smell of andouillettes, the “do not walk on the grass” signs in public parks and all the unnecessary traffic congestion due to cars piling into the intersection just as the light turns yellow. There are also the early-morning ticket controls in the Métro that in my experience seem to focus mostly on black and Arab-looking commuters.

But the No. 1 spot on this list is also occupied by something related to being a woman: A deep-seated machismo in everyday interaction that grated with me long before the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case made headlines.

Many French women appear to worry more about being feminine than feminist, and French men often display a form of gallantry predating the 1789 revolution. “Charming,” I thought, when I first arrived 10 years ago and an official in the Foreign Ministry scrambled to open every one of four doors in a very long, narrow corridor. But I soon tired of the unsolicited attention that young men sometimes heap upon women who are walking down the Champs-Élysées in a skirt.

France ranks 46th in the World Economic Forum’s 2010 gender equality report, lagging behind the United States, most of Europe, but also Kazakhstan and Jamaica. Women in France earn on average 26 percent less than men but do two-thirds of the housework.

As the historian Michelle Perrot put it to me a few months ago, “France may be Scandinavian in its employment statistics, but it remains profoundly Latin in attitude.”

And still, this is the only European country where I’ve routinely met successful businesswomen with three children and an enviable figure.

Surprise Election Results!

And the returns only took two days !

"99.97 percent of all the voters registered in the lists took part in the election and voted for the candidates for deputies registered in the relevant constituencies."

The epitome of leftist socio-political thought is clearly a bastion of free spirited debate and prosperity, I tell ya!

The remaining 0.3% who did not vote being the cosmopolitan evangelists of this international superpower who are out spreading the good news to the world of the fabulousness of being them.

"Mon coeur est français, mais mon cul est international"

In an article in Le Monde about French actresses and celebrities who took German officers, if not Nazi ones, as lovers during World War II, Frédéric Lemaître praises one of them — Arletty — for anticipating the sexual revolution and — in Klaus Harpprecht's words — as a patriot ("in her own way") for seeing the German occupants "as human beings like all others", all the while tipping his (Lemaître's) hat to the German author for his World War II paean to 1940s France.

Malgré ses 84 ans, Klaus Harpprecht se souvient encore parfaitement de l'effet ressenti en 1947 lors de la projection à Stuttgart du chef-d'oeuvre de Marcel Carné Les Enfants du paradis, tourné pendant l'Occupation. La magnificence des décors ne pouvait que subjuguer les spectateurs qui vivaient au milieu des ruines. Mais surtout, comment résister à Arletty ? "Ses grands yeux sombres, (...) ses épaules soyeuses, son décolleté, le jeu amusé de la commissure de ses lèvres." Il n'en fallait pas plus à ce jeune homme qui avait déjà dévoré (en allemand) Le Rouge et le Noir pour tomber définitivement amoureux de l'actrice et de la France. Un amour qui, avec le recul, ne devait rien au hasard.

… Depuis une dizaine d'années, Klaus Harpprecht est revenu à son amour de jeunesse. Le fruit de ses recherches vient de paraître sous le titre : Arletty und ihr deutscher Offizier, eine Liebe in Zeiten des Krieges ("Arletty et son officier allemand, un amour en temps de guerre") (éd. S. Fischer). Si la liaison d'Arletty avec Hans Jürgen Soehring, officier de la Luftwaffe, est connue des Français (notamment en raison de la célèbre justification donnée par l'actrice elle-même : "Mon coeur est français, mais mon cul est international", nombre d'Allemands la découvrent grâce à Klaus Harpprecht. Mais au-delà de cette relation, qui a valu à Arletty d'être incarcérée puis placée en résidence surveillée pour "transmission d'informations à l'ennemi", c'est une véritable fresque sur la vie culturelle et artistique sous l'Occupation que l'auteur propose à ses lecteurs. De Jean-Paul Sartre à Sacha Guitry, de Céline à Simone Signoret ou Danielle Darrieux, Klaus Harpprecht dresse une impressionnante galerie de portraits.

… Sous sa plume, Arletty préfigure la révolution sexuelle à venir. Signe que le temps a - heureusement - produit ses effets, Klaus Harpprecht se permet même de juger qu'"à sa façon Arletty était bel et bien une patriote. Elle était fière de la culture française. Elle aimait le pays et ses habitants. Mais elle ne voyait pas pourquoi elle ne devrait aimer que ses compatriotes. Pour elle, les Allemands, qui, dans leur majorité, ne faisaient pas la guerre de leur plein gré, étaient des êtres humains comme les autres".

Les librairies allemandes regorgent de livres sur la seconde guerre mondiale. … Mais rares sont ceux qui se lisent avec un tel plaisir ou qui, à travers les lignes, témoignent d'un tel amour pour la France.

More Communist Gaiety

It's Another New High for European Culture



Don’t think for a second that she isn't into pegging him every night.

Love for Sale

Austria, Belgium, the Czech republic, Greece, Italy and the UK made more nuanced statements but were broadly-speaking in the French camp. The UK said only that diplomats should study implications for regional stability before making the move.

EUobserver reports on the usual policy-by-scrum going on in EUtopia. It reads like the racing form.

While the method of dialog tends to make ones’ eyes glassy, you have to stay awake to notice that they’re talking about arms sales to China.

It reads rather typically of any sort of subject in the “political union”, and is largely undifferentiated from events: for one thing, China has been aggressive in the waters around her, ramping up the hostility to Vietnam and Taiwan, and sending smoke signals about war to the US.

France, the strongest pro-China advocate, said "the embargo is anachronistic and must go" and showed "zero flexibility" on asking Beijing to make reforms in return for lifting the embargo, arguing that "China would not accept human rights conditionality."

Which is to say that they found a way to rationalize their way around the “human rights policy” that they like to think makes them the only residents in heaven.

Wen arrived in London to meet his British counterpart David Cameron. At a joint press conference, Cameron cited late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping's most famous quote - "It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches the mice" - to express his attitude on Britain's introduction of Chinese-made high-speed trains.

So life goes on in totally unlinked, dissociative fashion. Naturally, the Europeans will sell them weapons. It comes on the heels of the Chinese leadership touring Europe and lavishing them with bailout money and deposits to backstop their banks.

Wen began the first leg of his tour on June 24 in Budapest, the first visit to Hungary by a Chinese premier in 24 years. He signed a number of cooperative deals with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and announced that China was ready to purchase Hungarian government bonds and extend 1 billion euros (US$1.4 billion) in credit. The purchase of Hungarian treasury bonds was hailed by Orban as "historic help" for Hungary.

And vice versa, even at the cost of selling their only real ally and security guarantor up the river.

It calls for Soviet era sounding statements and declarations that sound as if they could be about “the thrilling tractor production quotas being not just met, but beaten!” and ‘new eras in international relations and world peace’:

"The wide range of topics up for discussion and the substantial achievements are all pioneering work in the history of Sino-German relations and Sino-EU relations," Wen said during a press conference with Merkel.

French Health System: A Casebook History of the Unintended Consequences of Government Intervention

While the French are busy bragging to the clueless Yanks about their (France's) second-to-none health care system, Emmanuel Vigneron tells Laetitia Clavreul in a Le Monde interview that the French system is beset with failures, such as excess fees (honoraires libres) and medical "deserts" in various regions of France, not to mention pointless operations (such as 90,000 appendectomies instead of the 65,000 that are truly necessary).

On parle beaucoup des déserts médicaux. La relation de cause à effet entre nombre de médecins et santé n'est pas établie, mais il y a suspicion. Il est donc largement temps de poser la question, d'autant plus que ces inégalités territoriales se conjuguent avec les inégalités sociales, sous l'effet du coût du foncier qui pousse les classes les moins aisées à s'éloigner des zones urbaines, et ainsi des professionnels de santé.

Meanwhile, more and more French doctors are choosing to be paid in excess fees, adds Le Monde's Laetitia Clavreul, with the attendant overrun ratings constantly rising, in a system that is getting "deeply anchored in the French health system." Needless to say, neither the writer nor the Le Monde readers seem to notice it, but it turns out to be a case history of the unintended consequences of government intervention, with more and more rules being laid out (more reforms! more reforms!) to make up for the shortcomings of each previous generation of rules…

Lancé en 1980, pour éviter à la Sécurité sociale d'augmenter les tarifs des consultations tout en permettant une hausse de la rémunération des médecins, le secteur 2 a remporté un tel succès que face à la difficulté, déjà, de trouver un praticien au tarif de base, il a été décidé d'en limiter l'accès en 1990.

…Mais vingt ans plus tard, après une baisse des effectifs de praticiens en tarif libre, ce sont désormais des niveaux de 1990, voire bien au-dessus, que l'on retrouve dans certaines spécialités, comme les chirurgiens, les anesthésistes ou les gynécologues.

…La barre des 50% est souvent dépassée, par exemple chez les ORL, les ophtalmologues ou les gynécologues, et surtout les chirurgiens, qui atteignent désormais les 85% !

…L'essor des dépassements favorise donc bien la médecine à deux vitesses. Les médecins, qui préfèrent parler de "compléments d'honoraires", refusent cependant d'être jugés responsables, rappelant à l'envi que la hausse est due au fait que les tarifs de base, si peu augmentés par l'Assurance-maladie, ne permettent plus d'exercer.

The result of multiculturalism gone tragically wrong through ignorant immigration policies

What we have witnessed in Oslo and on Utoya Island, and what we risk experiencing in future copycat atrocities elsewhere,

writes Karl H. Pagac,

is the result of multiculturalism gone tragically wrong through ignorant immigration policies — politically correct but naïve interpretations of democratic values — and an idealistic view of a free, open and tolerant Europe.

The Takers Eat the Makers

George Handerly’s comments on sovereign debt may be directed at Europe, but apply equally well to the United States:

Sovereign debt and the Euro. This chaos of the global economy is not caused by its participants’ inability to offer goods in a quality and for a price for which there is a demand. That (private) part of the economy that produces and consumes is in good shape. The tumor is located in the political direction of the economy. The crisis is one of confidence. No wonder. The Western pillars of the world economy have governments that are in debt because their clientism forces them to misspend the community’s funds. These indebted governments are run by leaders who, being blinded by their “eurocratic” doctrine, extend loans to broken systems. These national economies have no chance to climb back up on the greased flagpole on which they have slid down.

I would rather think it should be called political venality rather than clientism, but the point is clear. Decades of vote-buying by way of pet projects dressed up as social experimentation and intervention lead finally to the state destroying the private affairs of the governed and their ability to function, employ, and build.

Those who would impose just one more eenie-weeny unproductive burden on us don’t get it. The good that they see in the world as a gift they want to give themselves and others isn’t made by them.

This is said as I find myself dealing with a LEED consultant who know less about that unproductive burden than I do, but still feels compelled to “get something else out of the owner” for what he thinks to be the sake of the planet. Knowing this, I doubt this owner will ever build again.

On "the right side of history" regarding Syria? At the UN, the Obama administration has not issued a peep

In dealing with the Middle East’s political eruptions, the United States, credibly or not, has made standing on the right side of history its operative watchword

notes John Vinocur in the International Herald Tribune.

Backing a French-British resolution condemning the Syrian regime for its brutal repression of opposition demonstrators, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan E. Rice, reached for the moral prop: “We will be on the right side of history if and when this comes to a vote. If others are unable to, or are unwilling to, then that will be their responsibility to bear.”

Now, with deaths in Syria reported to have risen to 1,400 over four months of clashes, there has been no U.N. condemnation, and no U.S. calling-out by name those countries blocking the measure and supplying Syria with its arms and financial wherewithal.

With Syria’s dictatorship killing daily with impunity, Ms. Rice’s line, five weeks later, has less the look of a U.S. government acting on history’s right side than one comfortable with indignation minus consequences.

As it turns out, the West is doing very little to transform the outrage of Syrian citizens into effective penalties against the regime of Bashar al-Assad and its suppliers, or into active outside support for a best-case scenario — ending Damascus’s symbiotic relationship with Iran, stopping Syria’s promotion of terrorism and isolating Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The language of moral commitment remains: President Barack Obama has said the United States is “using all the diplomatic, economic and strategic tools at our disposal” to support democratic transition and “block the path of murder.” But evidence of that action — or anything resembling results — isn’t shining through.

…for the Americans, moral impeccability, with the Security Council action floundering, relates in the short term to whether the United States considers the Russians and the Chinese too big to assail concerning Syria.

…how do you not exert pressure on Moscow now when tanks and helicopters — Pieter D. Wezeman of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates Russia to be the essential source of the Syrian military’s heavy equipment — mass near a Syrian town where soldiers have defected?

Two despairing answers:

One, according to a European diplomat, is that the European Union, without specific U.N. cover, could never achieve the consensus necessary to call out Moscow or penalize it for providing the hardware involved in Syria’s ongoing massacres.

The other is that for the Obama administration, the task of confronting Syria’s supply chain with sanctions would savage the basic Russia-is-manageable premise of the president’s so-called reset with Moscow.

East Berlin to be Rebuilt Into Red Super-Metropolis

BERLIN (NANA) – East Germany plans to rebuild Communist East Berlin as the showcase capital of the German Communist state and an architectural counter-attraction to West Berlin.
Walter Ulbricht, the East German leader, revealed that cornerstones for a complex of government buildings at Marx-Engels Square as a feature of signing ceremonies for a Soviet-East German peace treaty.

East Germany has conducted an architectural competition for the designing of the “ultra modern socialist metropolis.” Professor Max Hensermann, the architect in charge, says East Germany decided against imitating Moscow architecture.
“There are many forms of functional socialist architecture, and we will choose those forms best suited to East Berlin,” Henselmann said.

In 1953 East Germany began construction of the Stalin Allee, a gaudy boulevard designed as a propaganda façade for the rubble and ramshackle structures which make East Berlin and eyesore.
This avenue of “Moscow Modern” apartment buildings and luxury shops now stretches for nearly a mile along the pre-war Frankfurter Allee. It is to be extended to the Alexanderplatz.
But future new construction will deviate sharply from the Rococo and gingerbread of “Moscow Modern.” Henselmann indicated that the east Germans have decided on a modified Le Corbusier functional architecture with flowing lines.

The Marx-Engels Square, the pre-Communist Lustgarten, will house government offices, in effect replacing the pre-war Wilhelmstrasse and Leipzigerstrasse.
Foreign embassies will again be concentrated at the western end of Unter Den Linden, the famous Linden tree-lined avenue containing Humboldt (Berlin) University, the State Opera, and principal museums.
Since the war the Soviets have built a mammoth embassy near the former site of the U.S., British, and French embassies. The East German regime has now reserved a large tract in this area which will be subdivided and sold for embassy sites to countries recognizing East Germany.

COMMUNIST GAIETY

The opposite end of Unter Den Linden, bordering on the old Lustgarten, will be developed as East Berlin’s center of elegance. It will contain large department stores, cafes and restaurants, and even night clubs. Henselmann remarked, “who says there’s anything against gaiety in Communism?”

Freiedrichstrasse, pre-war Berlin’s amusement area, will retain the same character under the Communist reconstruction plans. A 200-bed hotel is to be constructed near the Friedrichstrasse railway station.

Hanselmann estimates that the major buildings in the program including Friedrichstrasse Hotel, will be completed by 1967. “The exact date depends upon the establishemtn of priorities for this program as compared with our general industrial development,” he explained.
“But we can promise this: By 1965 you will no longer recognize the city you see today.”

Conservative Blogs — Again — Called "Extreme Right" and "Fascistic" in Le Monde

In his Le Monde report on the content of France's conservative blogs in the wake of Anders Behring Breivik's Norwegian terror attack, Samuel Laurent refers to them as the extreme right and as fascistic while Le Monde brings out its its old graph (one that reminds One More Middle Aged Guy of a Jackson Pollock creation) designed to summarize the entire problem. How? As the Fascist Sphere (la fachosphère).

La thèse est la même sur le blog du collectif Riposte Laïque, les organisateurs des "apéros saucisson pinard", qui établissent dans une longue note une comptabilité des attentats commis par des fondamentalistes musulmans depuis 2011 (un rapport d'Europol en 2010 attribuait aux "islamistes" 0,4% des attentats commis sur le sol européen l'année précédente).

Christine Tasin, l'une des fondatrice du mouvement, s'insurge dans un billet contre "l'amalgame commode entre Anders Behring Breivik et tous les islamophobes". Agitant elle aussi la théorie du complot, elle juge que "l'attentat d'Oslo tombe bien, au moment où les hommes et les partis qui s'opposent à l'immigration et au développement préoccupant de l'islam se voient plébiscités par les électeurs" .
