James Lee Shines a Light on Green Anti-Humanism

The Discovery Channel hostage taker James Lee will  be written off as a crazy but he is merely an extremist. The ideology behind his acts is embraced by the radical green movement and is behind many anti-Capitalist, anti-technology groups and protests. He is no different that the Earth Liberation Front or the radicals who tried to burn a family alive in 2008 or the lefty commenters who cheered on mountain lion attacks on children about a year ago.

Anti-humanism is a key pillar in radical environmentalism. It is a philosophy that views humans as an inherent evil that needs to be minimized through extermination. Starvation, sterilization and de-industrialization are all means to the final end which is the end of mankind. To be sure many anti-humanists envision a world where they themselves, living a romanticized tribal existence, are still around but their goal is an end of all civilization, everywhere.

The basics of anti-humanism are mainstream ideas taught in schools and pushed by the media. Human industry is bad, people are “unnatural” and not part of nature and more importantly civilization, prosperity and success are evil. Only animals and primitive tribes are good and the Earth is so fragile that every thing you do is destroying it. You now people, maybe even your children, who on some level believe this.

Failed bomber James Lee’s manifesto is simply an exaggeration of the anti-human philosophy we let fester everyday. Here’s his manifesto, entitled My Demands, in full: Continue reading

JPMorgan Shutting Down Propriety Trading Desks

What’s going on at J.P. Morgan? They’re going out of business and the government efforts aimed at propping them up is failing largely because of other government efforts to “fix” the economy:

JPMorgan Chase & Co., the second- largest U.S. lender by assets, told traders who bet on commodities for the firm’s account that their unit will be closed as the company begins to shut down all of its proprietary trading, according to a person briefed on the matter.

The bank eventually will end all proprietary trading to comply with new U.S. curbs on investment banks, said the person, who asked not to be identified because JPMorgan’s decision isn’t public. The New York-based bank will shut proprietary trading in fixed-income and equities later, the person said.

Closing the proprietary trading desk for commodities affects fewer than 20 traders, including one in the U.S. and the rest in the U.K., the person said. The unit is based in London, and traders there were given notice on Aug. 27 that their jobs may be in jeopardy as required by U.K. law, according to the person.

Congress passed restrictions on financial firms this year designed to prevent a recurrence of the 2008 credit crisis, which almost caused the banking system to collapse. Proprietary trading involves transactions made on behalf of the bank rather than its customers. The curbs are known as the Volcker rule, named after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, who campaigned for limits on risk-taking by lenders

Here’s the rub:

JPMorgan’s “principal activities,” which include trading and private equity investing for its own book, generated about $2 billion in revenue in the second quarter, said Christopher Whalen, a Federal Reserve Bank of New York analyst in the 1980s and co-founder of Institutional Risk Analytics in Torrance, California. He said principal activities have generated as much as $10 billion on an annual basis in profits and losses in recent years.

The limits on proprietary trading contained in the Dodd- Frank Act that was signed into law in July by President Barack Obama will cost the company about 10 percent in quarterly revenue, Whalen said.

“This revenue and the risk it carries with it now goes away,” he said. “This will put more pressure on JPM to look for growth outside the U.S. market.”

Since most bank “profits” are in reality debt they hold which may or may not ever be paid back all these little scams they run are how the big banks keep from foreclosing on your house and selling it to the highest bidder. I’m not weeping for JPMorgan, just all the people out there who are going to be waiting for the bankrupt FDIC to give them the money that doesn’t exist when JPMorgan closes.

If you’re doing business with JPMorgan put your house in order, now.

George Galloway Caught on Video Raising Money for Hamas in Militant Florida Mosque

Via Big Peace this video shows the kind of radical religious and political organizing that is going on in many of the “moderate” mosques in America. Long but worth it, especially when they expose what the ‘Free Gaza” flotilla was caught with. Rockets, RPGs and mines all purchased with money raised by mosques in America.

And how many of those mosques keep a little bit of that stuff around for civil unrest? Factor in the well organized and possibly militant religious communities around you when planning for survival.
