Arthur Rothstein Mooo, Ropesville Farms, Texas April 1936 We’re going into another weekend, and this one’s Memorial. It may also be memorable, since t
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle 23 2014: See The Lonely Boy Out On The Weekend]Inhofe represents the broad streak of theological determinism in American Christian fundamentalism. Such determinism is a de facto rejection of science. Christian fundamentalists in modern times have usually fallen back on implicit rejection of science but now the rejection is becoming explicit.
It should be mentioned especially to non Americans that included in this American brand of theological determinism is the belief that God has chosen America and the people just like themselves as his own special anointed nation and people. Nobody else matters. Their potential or real suffering either barely worth considering or actually embraced as natural and just.
Not that the Inhofe or his like will ever get close to actual power over policy. Yes he is a US Senator but the legislative branch in America is a sideshow. Its power mainly symbolic words and rhetoric with the very occasional minor methods of rejection. These sorts of ‘conservatives’ are always useful idiots for those or real power and wealth. They are willing fools for those seeking money and power.
And then there’s Iraq:
“Prior to the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, US and other western oil companies were all but completely shut out of Iraq’s oil market…Exxon, BP, Shell; they’re all here. They all have their contracts in hand, and they’re all drilling their brains out thanks to the American servicemen and women who gave their lives for some trumped up baloney about WMD.
“Dr Abdulhay Yahya Zalloum, an international oil consultant and economist …(said) he believes western oil companies have successfully acquired the lions’ share of Iraq’s oil, “but they gave a little piece of the cake for China and some of the other countries and companies to keep them silent”. (Aljazeera)
How do you like that? These guys operate just like the Mafia. The Bossman pays off China with a few million barrels, and China keeps its mouth shut. Nice. Everyone gets “their cut” so they don’t go blabbing to the media about the ripoff that’s taking place in broad daylight. The stench of corruption is overpowering.”
