shootthatarrow commented on the diary post The Potentially Profitable New Arctic Zone by Crane-Station.
The Artic likely now faces ecological assault(s) and plundering(s) of the worse sorts being this region is unthawing here in early 21st century when doing both is fully possible and doable. If humans are/were lucky the deep freeze will soon return and make the Artic unexploitable in any profitable industrial/commericial ways. When the “new” world [...]

shootthatarrow commented on the blog post You Shall Know Our Velocity: Political Priorities Measured in Time Frames
A very valid,accurate way to frame what is done,gets done and what governs speed and distance of anything being done or not being done in WashingtonDC.
I noticed only the word odometer was/is used in DD’s last sentence above. Within the speedometer gauge is most often where odometer is located/found in vehicle instrument panels whether car,truck or motorcycle. As a general practice machine/powerplant service spans are measured in hours such as industrial and agriculture equipment or aircraft airframe/powerplant and ship/marine powerplants.
Velocity describes rate of movement/speed so to use both of these terms — speedometer and odometer in the last sentence improves/makes it more accurate. Regardless — DD presented two good and illustrative examples to support this useful way of framing what/how WashingtonDC works.
Here is another example –
We know Afghanistan came in for swift reprisal/attack within just days after 9/11/2001. The speed at which this reprisal was mounted by WashingtonDC on Afghanistan by it’s primary agents of warmongering — the Pentagon and CIA — was anything but slow in coming. However most of the 9/11 attack team players were from Saudi Arabia. Oddly Saudi Arabia was not attacked post 9/11. However Iraq was. Lucky for Iran the 9/11 attack was not done by some Iranians instead. Very doubtful Iran would have fared in the same unscathed ways as Saudi Arabia did/has post 9/11 in/with WashingtonDC. Iran likely is still going to be attacked anyway anyday now by WashingtonDC and it’s NATO flying monkey friends. Likely done on flimsy pretense along lines of “Remember The Maine!” or a false flag staged 12/07/1941 set up event. Iran then gets zero time to bow down deep in surrender or be attacked. See how velocity is used/works?
Eleven years later we Americans are being told by our current WarMonger-In-Chief that WashingtonDC — thus we Americans — are making plans to stay in Afghanistan until 2024 while Obama is POTUS. Anyone ask you/me about this?
In recent days the NATO WarMongers and Death Dealers Convention took place in Chicago where more/most effort(s) by NATO likely was expended on how to stay longer/not shorter in Afghanistan. Contrary to NATO’s Kabuki show as given in Chicago.
Americans and their UseFul Tool NATO members went into Afghanistan very fast measured by velocity and rate of measured distance covered. Leaving Afghanistan? Will be done/being done slowly and slowly measured in time and by date. Evidently Americans/NATO leaving Afghanistan and the Afghans alone is getting Slow and Long Walked. Likely having/has much to do with western corporatist pipeline schemes/dreams and the now pending attack on Iran plan. Americans/NATO plan on inflicting much death and destruction on Iran and Iranisn people. US/NATO in Afghanistan helps. See Iraq. See Libya.
Plainly some powerful people/interests like this Leave Afghanistan Slowly/Not At All idea.
Imagine Palestine and the Palestinians getting this sort of energy and support from the Obama WH? Instead they get roadkill(dead/not moving) or a walking turtle velocity. But do re-elect Obama in 2012 because Barack Obama cares about doing what is good and right. Just ask Bradley Manning.
This Speedometer/Odometer framing is useful,valid and revealing. Thank you DD.

shootthatarrow commented on the blog post WI-Gov: Plenty Evidence of Walker’s Conduct Demanding Removal From Office
Well there you have it — MJS endorsed Scott Walker winning the June 5, 2012 Wisconsin Recall Election being recall of Walker “isn’t justified”.
Scott Walker is a fan of Ronald Reagan and that surely means Scott Walker thinks Reaganism is AOK. Walker thus does have his supporters and it should be understood that if his primary political backers had not found Scott Walker or Scott Walker them likely someone else who likes Ronald Reagan and likes Reaganism would have danced this jig.
Scott Walker by rights should have experienced his well deserved political flame out before he got to the Capitol in Madison,WI. That the Ds in WI failed at task of beating Walker in Milwaukee County politics is on them.
This Recall Election evidently is running close as to which way it could go on June 5,2012. In view of the amounts of money flowing into Wisconsin and the political interests much of this money likely is fronting for the effort to recall Scott Walker is a steep climb.
Just not getting much in way of feel or impression the Ds in WI are up to the task to recall Snotty Scotty.
Scott Walker sailed into Madison in 2010 on winds the Ds more often than not provided. Weak party structure,weak candidates,weak party flag issues,weak D street politics and weak D Party message making let Scott Walker win. Now two years later this Recall Election is being gamed again by Scott Walker’s backers and partisans. Tom Barrett? Who is he again? I honestly can not connect a face with this name. In WI politics at the state level this cannot be good can it? At least not for those of us who hope to see Kochvernor Scott The Snot not staying very much longer in the superb example of Beaux Arts architecture Capitol building in Madison.
One just knows that if Scott Walker had been Governor of WI when the current early 20th century Wisconsin State Capitol building was put down on paper and put up on the Square in Madison it likely would have been not anything near in splendour of architectural statement or exhibition of commonwealth and democratic spirit.
One can gain lots of fans mocking and knocking the Rs here at FDL and quite often find/gain some fans with jeering the Ds too if jeering Ds suits one better. Doing either or both seems to be the swim here at the Lake…
so…
It does seem Wisconsin has a need for the D Party to do what the R Party would rather it did not do and what Barack Obama plainly is not doing. Of course anyone can and could start another WI political party but in UniParty America few get to be Ross Perot. Post WW2 this is how the UniParty gameboard is setup and how UniParty players move/do not move.
>>> So if Barack Obama — the POTUS could find time to fly to and into Kabul,Afghanistan for six hours during the last couple of weeks?
>>> Or POTUS Obama could find time and fly into Chicago,Illinois these last couple of days for a NATO WarMongers and DeathDealers Convention?
>>> What then is keeping POTUS Barack Obama out of Wisconsin during this Recall Election To Remove Scott Walker(KOCH/R) from the Capitol in Madison,WI?
The UniParty Obama belongs to? The craptastic D Party Obama is at the top of? Or would/does Barack Obama prefer Walker to stay in Madison as WI Governor being Scotty likely would stand shoulder to shoulder with Obama on issues to do with Reaganism,austerity and setting up SS/MC for a bump/fall?
Obots and Dbots here is your opening — go for it!

Recommended. Read this report/story by Ellen Cantarow with increasing interest as I saw this TomDispatch installment had to do with Wisconsin and what is taking place in northern rural areas of Wisconsin. The entire fracking quest has taken on wantonly reckless and avarice motives we humans seem so easily willing to impose on our home [...]

Comment correction — thanks to Alan Maki’s comment about PK at #21 Paul Krugman was on the staff of Martin Feldstein from 1982 – 1983 in the Reagan WH. In view of PK’s general self branding and expressed political views and contours as being those of a American political liberal this was/is a odd career [...]

shootthatarrow commented on the blog post Late Night: Resistance Is Futile
Wisconsin still waiting for “put on my soft shoes” Barack Obama to show up?
Barack Obama(DINO) is a fine stealth R POTUS who was clever to dress up in Ilinois/Chicago D Party livery to get around the high piles of manure the R Party run Bush/Cheney WH were piling up since 2001/had piled up by 2008.
The UniParty won the WH hands down in 2008.
Reliable sources suggest the Obama WH is well wired with Wall St. and corporatist types and Americans with economic/academic backgrounds who served in the W.J.Clinton WH or were able to function with G.W.Bush WH slipshod economic policy malpractices and still conjure adequate self-esteem.
Barack Obama let G.W.Bush,R.B.Cheney,Wall St.,Goldman Sachs and JPMorganChase off the hook as POTUS. POTUS Obama owns this being made so since early 2009.
Blaming the Rs for what POTUS Obama(DINO)(D)(HAVES) let happen? Smells O-botish. Obama “gets” OBL and takes the credit. Obama lets Wall St. and TBTF banks loot the Fed,U.S.Treasury and collapse U.S.economy? Blame that on those damn Tbaggers. O-bot logic has deep flaws. The O-bots are OK with this being so too evidently — this bunch deserves 4 more years of Obama in the WH.
About that pair of soft shoes Barack Obama may own and spoke of?
The answer and the D Party/Walker Re-Call story in Wisconsin it comes with are self revealing.

Paul Krugman and Robert Reich have academic pedigrees of having passed thru Yale and both maintain academic standing which allows them to burnish other parts of their careers. PK unlike RR has not been part of any WH regime. RR was in the Ford,Carter and Clinton WH regimes. One could safely conclude PK and RR [...]

A deep and wide overview. Informative,interesting. Concur with the POV. The American Conquest War On Mexico back there in the 1840′s cast a template that is still used 170 years later.
