Podemos Suffers Set Back in Catalan Elections.
We can't, not yet….
This morning the Spanish radio was full of the fall-out, and the 'fractures', resulting from the results of the Catalan elections.
The Significance of the Catalan Elections Montserrat Domínguez.
- The pro-independence front loses the referendum. The anti-independence forces account for 52 percent, compared to the secessionist bloc's 47 percent. It's inconceivable that with these results, once the the cava wine bubbles evaporate, any serious politician (in Catalonia) will propose a unilateral declaration of independence. That would be undemocratic. But it's the first time that the option to secede takes such flight: more than 1.9 million votes is a cry that no serious politician (in Madrid) can ignore.
- In the polls, Ciudadanos breaks the roof: it tripled the results of the previous elections and, with 25 seats, stole the spotlight. The Sorpasso (overtaking) of the People's Party (PP) in Catalonia is a warning: will this happen again in the general elections in December? We will never know what result Albert Rivera would have achieved if he had been the candidate of the Generalitat, the Catalan government; but being the second force in Catalonia gives wings to his aspirations to get to the Moncloa Palace.
- The PP is increasingly irrelevant in Catalonia: it lost 10 seats, including Badalona — where Xavier García Albiol was mayor — which went to Junts pel Sí. It's a real slap in the face for the party and its campaign strategy. Today, there is a cold wind in Moncloa and Genoa street: Rajoy is proving to be incapable of facing the challenges in Catalonia.
- After a spectacular gain (from 3 to 10 seats), CUP now has the key to governance in Catalonia. If it fulfills its promise of not voting for Artur Mas as president, Junts pel Sí will be forced to come to an agreement on another candidate… and internal battle is guaranteed.
- Podemos loses momentum: ICV alone got more seats (13) than the new coalition. The 10 deputies Podemos got in the parliament is very far from what it had hoped for. Does it mean that its success in the past municipal elections — Barcelona, Madrid, Cadiz, Zaragoza — was the zenith of its political career? (NOTE: it went up to 11)
- The socialists are still alive. Maintaining almost the same numbe
- When 77 percent of Catalan citizens vote, the message is strong and clear. The pro-independence front, which brings together Junts pel Sí (Together for Yes) and the CUP (Popular Unity Candidacy) party, earned a clear majority in the Catalan parliament, winning 72 seats. It now has the legitimacy and strength, said Artur Mas, to keep pursuing its dream of secession.
- r of votes as in the last Catalan elections — after the internal bleeding and the appearance of new parties that contest their ideological territory — justifies Miquel Iceta's sigh of relief, despite having lost four seats. And those half a million Catalan votes are worth their weight in gold in Pedro Sanchez's race toward the Moncloa Palace.

El País commented,
Pablo Iglesias ha construido alrededor de Podemos una épica de partido ganador que ayer, tras lograr en las elecciones catalanas un resultado que sus propios dirigentes consideran decepcionante, sufrió el mayor revés desde su nacimiento.
Pablo Iglesias has built around Podemos an epic in which they are the winning party. But yesterday, after the results of the Catalan elections, which their own leaders considered disappointing , the party suffered the biggest setback since its birth.
We should observe that Podemos (link to their site here) did not go it alone this time. Inside Catalunya Sí que es Pot (CSQEP) they were allied with Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds (Red Greens), and Esquerra Unida i Alternativa, (the more directly linked to the left bloc, Izquirda Unida).
This in itself is a step forward for a group that appeared to wish to 'go it alone' to the extent of organising, its own demonstrations against austerity rather than create united fronts.
What are the consequences of this poor result – not to mention their eclipse by a right-of-centre populist party, Ciudadanos ? *
Iglesias has announced today (Iglesias ofrece un referéndum catalán en el que pediría el 'no') that if Podemos wins the nation-wide general election he will offer a proper referendum to the Catalans, in which his party will campaign against the separatists and for a multinational and pluralist Spain.
Inside Podemos some have criticised the alliances that they made in Catalan with left-wing and Green forces, declaring that people did not understand the "alphabet soup" (CSQEP) that resulted on the ballot paper.
It will be interesting to follow further developments.
"..populism requires the division of society into two camps – one presenting itself as a part which claims to be the whole; that this dichotomy involves the antagonistic division of the social field, and that the popular camp presupposes as a conditions of its constitution the constriction of a globalised entity out of the equivalence of a plurality of social demands." (Page 83. On Populist Reason. Ernesto Laclau. 2005)
Enthusiasm for Podemos on the European Left, including Britain, was until recently widespread. It was accepted that the party had managed the difficult feat of giving a political voice to the indignados movement. That it has built a 'populist' constituency through language and demands that welded together the 99% against the 1%. That it used the (in Laclau's words) 'floating signifiers' of the 'people' (crushing majority) against the Spanish 'casta' and had created a democratic organisation capable of challenging the rule of finance and the dominance of economic austerity. It is new, it uses the Net, it encourages direct communication not tired old bureaucratic structures, or divisions between the historical left and right.
This could be tied into the argument offered by Paul Mason in Postcapitalism ( 2015). That, "By creating, millions of networked people, finally exploited but with the whole of human intelligence one thumb-swipe away, info-capitalism has created a new agent of change in history: the educated and connected human beings."
Mason also asserts that, "In Europe, repressing policing and a untied front of all parties in favour of austerity beat the indignados into a sullen silence. But the results showed that revolution in a highly complex, information-driven society would look very different from the revolutions of the twentieth century. Without a strong, organised working class to push social issues rapidly to the fore, the revolts often stall. But order is never fully restored." (Page xviii)
But in general enthusiasm for new groups like Podemos, with no visible links to the workers' movement, is widespread. There is a constant search for new political agencies to replace the 'old' left and labour movement. In Mason's case, despite his own above warning, this went so far as to make this extraordinary claim, "Scotland, "presented with the opportunity to break with a neoliberal state and start afresh, millions of young people said, 'Yes' "(Page xix)
There is little doubt that there is a great deal of political fluidity in Europe today. Movements to break up existing states, often from the wealthiest regions of a country (as in Catalonia or in Italy with the Lega Nord) tired of paying for poor and apparently lazy 'southerners' , appear part of this process. The strong showing of the Catalan sovereigntists was welcomed by forces from the Scottish National Party, promoting the interests of their 'ain folk' against 'Westminster, the hard-right Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie (Belgium), who dislike the former industrial French speaking and Socialist voting Walloon, and some leftists – the latter apparently convinced that Barcelona tax-payers are right not to want to subsidise their feckless compatriots.
Podemos may, or may not, be capable of offering what Mason (in the most significant part of Postcapitalism) calls "revolutionary reformism". Mason's list of ideas, a third managerial revolution, switching off the neoliberal privatisation machine, suppressing or socialising monopolies is attractive. But everything depends on a political vehicle to implement them in a recognisably effective form.
That is, the need a political forces capable of reaching and transforming existing political institutions. They have to connect 'giving voice' to protests, social interests (not least the labour movement) and being capable of administering solutions. They need parties.
In the case of Podemos this, which Ernesto Laclau called the "moment of articulation" – that is the details of how political parties operate – is becoming unstuck. No doubt the ripple effect of the defeat of Syriza's anti-austerity programme counts for much in their present impasse. They may have woven 'floating signifiers' together, but what anchors them?
Podemos' vaunted horizontal democracy (apparently giving shape to Mason's 'networks') is paralleled by an internal structure, built as a pyramid around a leader. This is deeply problematic and pretty much casts its claims to novelty to the dustbin. Iglesias has as El País indicates, a self-defined "epic" in which he will valiantly take on the Spanish 'casta'. Like a figure in the Game of Thrones (a box set of which he generously donated to the Spanish King Felipe VI) he is surrounded by intrigue. He finds it hard to work collaboratively. Forced to accept alliances with other forces, like the Green Equo and the long-standing Izquirda Unida, he has the ill-grace to refuse to take any joint responsibility, in the political battles.
Now that it is clear that Podemos has not the remotest chance of forming a future government in the Cortes Generales it will be of interest to see how his authority is maintained.

Guest Post: The Left-Wing Case Against Jeremy Corbyn.
As a pluralist democratic socialist Blog we publish this guest post, despite reservations about its content.
The author, who wishes to remain anonymous (Here, for more), for fear of on-line terrorism from Corbynistas, was a prominent signatory of the Euston Manifesto (2006).
He contributed the following lines (removed from the final version), "1. Islamists are tossers. 2. Stalinists are tossers. 3. Most Trots are tossers. 4. So are most Labour leftists. 5. And most anarchists. 6. And every variety of post-modernist."
I have not left the Left, it's the left that's left me.
"I am past-it enough to remember trolleybuses and steam trains, tractors in the Ipswich Buttermarket, and old Suffolk 'bor' doffing their caps when the young 'Master' visited relatives on the Estate."
"Apart from my Vlog I have run a successful sweet shop empire in Bixley for the past twenty years, have increased the Labour vote in the Parish Council, and, for all its faults, have come to terms with the market society."
"Corbyn is not a wholly wicked man, but the 1980s hard left were all complete bastards."
"The first thing to know about him is that he's a boilerplate leftist with a thicko's take on the world. He barely got his Latin 'O' level, and like Hugo Chávez, he speaks fluent Spanish – dog Latin!"
"Many of Corbyn's prescriptions are delusional – nationalising everything is not the solution it once was."
"When he announced plans to create take into public ownership Kebab production I wondered what the people of Green Lanes think!"
"The verbal abuse directed at insufficiently left-wing members of the Labour party during the leadership contest is both comic and sinister."
"Opponents of the moronic, scraggly bearded, rabbit food munching, dinosaur, 'Compo' Corbyn, who clearly needs a heart-and-brain transplant, do not stoop so low."
"His 'anti-Zionist' international politics, taken from the pages of Der Stürmer are muddle-headed. Bringing an end to war is a little harder than simply declaring oneself a pacifist."
"My plans to create a special intervention force for Syriya, backed by Turkey and the US, to save the Kurds, have some modest echo: I expect our bearded comrade Corbyn to oppose them!"
"Yesterday when it was announced that Corbyn plans to sack everybody in Labour HQ and replace them with his own appointees, I was reminded of Pol Pot's entry into Phnom Penh – about to blow up the National Bank building on Tou Samouth Boulevard."
"Now I hear from a reliable source that he plans to put Tariq Ali in the House of Lords!"
"The genuine heirs of the Suffragettes and the Chartists and the Tolpuddle Martyrs shouldn't be cowed by people who view a bar of soap as a tool of capitalist oppression."
"I shall be joining the Resistance!"
"Join the Free French, or, the Maquis!"
Sebastian Budgen – Risée du Monde – Out to 'Get' the Charnel House.
Sebastian Budgen: Family Grocers Does Excellent Tuck!
This story on Charnel House is the talk of the Left,
Stumbled across an amazing database of free Marxist PDFs, the posts of which seems to be password protected but whose files are nevertheless accessible.
See the site for details.
The post cites Budgen's response to people who download for free:
I make a distinction between the honest downloaders who do it discreetly and will spend money when they have it and the loud-mouthed freeloading scum who have no interest in or understanding of how to build a counterhegemonic apparatus.
I'm not just interested in people being customers but in recognising, to the extent that they are leftists, that they should be involved in building a counterhegemonic apparatus. The anarchoids and lazy leftists of today don't get that so they act like the lowest petty bourgeois individualist swine."
Sebastian Budgen, of Verso books and Historical Materialism, on download culture and downloaders, Oct 2012.
Sebastian Budgen Memorial Page.
There are many reasons to dislike Bugden's politics as well:
We strongly suspect he has something to do with propagating the "anti-race mixing" Indigènes de la République in the oddly named Jacobin and the promotion of the sympathiser of this group – the militant wing of anti-colonial studies – Christine Delphy, by Verso.
Budgen has the "chic" for getting himself loathed.
We express our solidarity with comrade Ross Wolfe who has been the object of this attack by the Owl of the Verso Remove:
Maybe I'd feel a bit worse about linking to all these texts if Budgen weren't such a whiny crybaby. Hard to sympathize with him, however, after he put out this ridiculous burn notice against me a couple months back, urging other leftists to erect a cordon sanitaire around me. Leftists should "shun" and "no platform" me, defriending anyone who posts or shares links to this blog. Kind of reminds me of a recent Clickhole article, "Uncompromising: This Tyrant Unfriends All Dissidents as an Example to the Rest," which describes "[a] despotic maniac rules with an iron fist of callous indifference, unfriending anyone who dares go against something he posts."
Childishness and grandiosity aside, though, this is a great list of books. Grab them while you can, but don't despair if they're removed before you get the chance. Someone will repost them eventually, probably sooner than later. Enjoy.
Update (LOL): Seems he's now asking ppl to report anyone who so much as links to this post. *impotent buttrage intensifies*.
The poor puffer seems to have forgotten the gentlemanly etiquette of the Eton Wall Game.
As he would no doubt love to call for similar action against Coatesism and all of its works we can only say: arise ye starvlings from your slumbers and feast on Budgen's hampers!
End Austerity Now Demonstration: a Personal Report from Ipswich.
Protesters flood Parliament Square (Photo: John Stillwell/PA Wire)
End Austerity Now Demonstration: a Personal Report.
Around 80,000 people (the Tendance's estimate) marched in London on Saturday. They protested against the newly elected Conservative government's plans to continue, and deepen, austerity.
It's unnecessary to list the faults of these policies. It's enough to see the people begging in the streets, a few hundred metres from the office of Ipswich Tory M.P. Benedict Gummer. Without the response of the People's Assembly, the unions, the diverse groups and parties on the demonstration, and the wider public, Cameron and Osborne will have free rein to create a mean-spirited free-market Britain.
From Ipswich and Stowmarket 42 people piled in our coach – there were more travelling to London by train. Up to 70% were under the age of 40, with a large percentage in their teens and twenties. This was reflected amongst the marchers, with a strong presence of young people.
While assembling by the Bank of England we were addressed by various speakers. Those advertised included Kate Hudson (Chair, Left Unity, CND) and Diane Abbott (Labour MP and candidate to represent the party for the London Mayoral contest). They and others made good, rousing, contributions on the need to fight austerity.
Weyman Bennett (SWP/Unite Against Fascism) linked people being rude to women wearing the Islamic veil to the massacre at Charleston and the heart-rending plight of migrants drowned in the Mediterranean. Lee Jasper (Respect Party), the 'controversial' former Director for Policing and Equalities under Ken Livingstone's Greater London Authority Assembly continued in this vein.
Someone (one can imagine who) compared his peroration unfavourably to Ali G.(1) One Suffolk comrade remarked that on what she called the "shouting".
It was to be regretted that there was nobody from the National Shop Stewards Network – a group which, whatever one's political differences, represents a lot more than the former two users of the demo microphone – was not invited to speak.
The route of the protest, which began next to the City, took us from Ludgate Circus, down the Strand, past Trafalgar Square. This was the venue of a – poorly attended- commercial beano, a pop radio concert. It symbolised the use of public space for corporate gain.
Local People's assembly groups (like Suffolk People's Assembly) unions, Left Unity, anti-cuts organisations, disabeld rights groups,the SWP, the Socialist Party, and other (even) smaller left parties, the Labour Assembly Against Austerity , the Green Party …to Class War, were present.
In Parliament Square there were more speeches. Again there were solid well-argued arguments against the Cabinet's plans, from Steve Turner (UNITE and the People's Assembly) onwards. John Rees included a reference to the rights of atheists in a call for to defend the freedoms of different beliefs. His claim that the demonstrators were from all ethnic backgrounds was perhaps not fully substantiated by a glance at the overwhelmingly white crowd.
Charlotte Church made an exceptional contribution.
The Mirror called it an "incredible speech".
The Conservatives' intention was to create a society around their principles, of private profit and public loss.
Describing the idea that Britain needs austerity as "the big lie", Charlotte said: "They will sell off our schools and our hospitals. When it's done, it will he hard to reverse.
"One aspect of this that really gets under my skin is that it's all wrapped up in a proud-to-be-British package.
"I'm proud to be British because of the NHS and David Bowie, not because of the Union Jack.
"Be proud for the right reasons. We need to win back these young minds and save ourselves from years of yuppie rule.
"If you are ashamed that you have to use a food bank, because this Government would rather see you starve than put a note in your pocket, walk tall. You have the moral high ground.
"We are not afraid of national debt and we will not let our public services be attacked."
She added: "What this country needs is economic stimulation – most economists around the world would say the same. We need to get the blood pumping."
Earlier, she said: "I'm here today in a show of solidarity with everyone here – it is a massive turnout – everybody who thinks that austerity isn't the only way and thinks it is essentially unethical, unfair and unnecessary."
It was hard not to be moved by Charlotte's clear and heart-felt words.
Her call for positive alternatives and hope will resonate across the country.
For many present, Jeremy Corbyn, standing for the Labour Party leadership, made a decisive call to make sure there is a strong left, anti-austerity, vote in this election.
End Austerity Now was a success.
Where we go from now is the subject of serious discussion.
One way forward can be seen in the multitude of protests against welfare reform: from the continued campaign against the Bedroom Tax, Benefit cuts, Workfare, to the – still not fully implemented – psychological treatment of some claimants.
It is to be regretted that some parties see groups like the People's Assembly as a recruiting ground.
In Suffolk the Green Party does not appear to publicise this:
Suffolk's best-known Green Party politician has pulled out of the battle to become Ipswich MP in next May's general election – because he hasn't "got the heart" to take on Tory Ben Gummer.
Mark Ereira-Guyer, leader of the Green and independent group on Suffolk County Council and an experienced election campaigner, was chosen earlier this year to fight for the Ipswich seat, but has now dropped out.
"Although I find Conservative policies odious and overly focused on free market fundamentalism, crass cost-cutting measures and ecological destitution, I am of the view that the current MP Ben Gummer is dedicated and hardworking.
"I respect his honest endeavours for the town. And, therefore, I can't drum up sufficient energies to really take him on. I like my politics to work on a human level, and not in a tribalist way.
The day was an achievement for the organisers.
It was, as they say, only a beginning.
(1) This is what Jasper said (Charlie Hebdo and Europe's rampant racism. 17th of January) about the massacre at Charlie Hebdo (he doesn't even mention the anti-Semitic murder at the Hyper-Casher):
"JeSuisCharlie in this context is nothing more than appeal from right wings white's to be allowed to be racist without opposition in the name of free speech. It's a sort of #WhiteLivesMatter statement particularly when viewed in the context of the tragic violence and world silence about the Nigerian massacre by Boko Haram.
This privilege allows them to disregard the social environment and political context of such satire and its consequences. Writing in this flawed tradition is the perogative of white, middle class Libertarian anarchists. Charlie Hebdo is for me, a silly magazine and quintessentially an exercise in white privilege and arrogance.
Parti des Indigènes de la République Against Mixed Marriage in Name of Race Struggle.
There have been reports that the Parti des Indigènes de la République – much admired in the English speaking world by a fraction of the left, such as the US journal ironically titled Jacobin and Richard Seymour (often for their hatred of Charlie Hebdo) has been in the news recently.
In the May Issue of Le Monde Diplomatique Serge Halmi cited this statement by their spokesperson, Mme Houria Bouteldja.
« La perspective décoloniale, explique-t-elle, c'est d'abord de nous aimer nous-mêmes, de nous accepter, de nous marier avec une musulmane ou un musulman, un Noir ou une Noire. Je sais que cela semble une régression, mais je vous assure que non, c'est un pas de géant. »
The de(anti)colonial standpoint, she explained, is above all to love each other, to love our own, to marry with a Muslim man or woman, a black person with a black person. I realise this may seem a step backwards, but I can assure you it's a giant step forward.
These are some of their tweets (hat-Tip K)
The Tweets read: the integration of whites into the marginalised is as impossible as the integration of the 'indigenous' into the republic.
For us races do not represent a theoretical concept, but a relation of struggle.
A white person converted to Islam can de-convert: but an Arab, even perfectly atheist, remains a Muslim.
For us there is a relation of force between the races, the aim of our organisation is to bring this relation in out favour .
When a White asks, How do you see the link between races and classes, one should not reply.
The struggle against domination, goes through the abandoning of privileges in favour of the privileges of others.
L'antisémitisme des Indigènes de la République

Nick Cohen Goes Woodrow Wyatt in Hatred of Trade Union UNITE.
New Mentor of Nick Cohen.:The Voice of Reason.
Younger readers may not recall Woodrow Wyatt.
He was a one time left-winger who went to the far-right – several-snouts in the trough along the way.
His favourite mode of attack was the vicious assault on Trade Unionists, and above all their leaders.
Nick Cohen has just taken several leaves from his book.
Labour must understand that Unite is its enemy.
I merely cite these phases:
Imagine you are a Labour MP or a trade union official surveying Britain this week. The following points will strike you:
- Labour has just lost an election it could have won, in part because Unite helped foist it with a useless leader in Ed Miliband and an equally incoherent programme, which failed to convince millions of voters to rid themselves of a mediocre Tory government.
Yet despite all of the above, there is no self-criticism from Len McCluskey on how he got the Miliband years so badly wrong. Worse – far worse because it matters more for the future of Britain – there is no honest examination of the failure of unions to recruit among the new working poor either. McCluskey keeps saying he wants to stand up for 'ordinary working people' when he can't persuade 'ordinary working people' to join his trade union. He keeps saying he wants to fight the hated Tories, while striking sectarian poses that will stop Labour building broad alliances with everyone from the church leaders to Liberal Democrats, who might take Cameron on.
Oddly this "sectarian attitude" about alliances with 'church leaders' does not strike our young Woodrow Wyatt, did not prevent the union from working with the Living Wage campaign in London, set up in alliance with religious figures.
In Tower Hamlets, apparently the voice of one individual in UNITE has come to represent the whole union (and I am not referring to Len):
In Tower Hamlets in the East End of London Lutfur Rahman funnelled public money to his client Bangladeshi voters. (Imagine for a moment the cries of 'apartheid,' if a Conservative or Ukip council followed a 'whites first' public spending policy.) He persuaded 101 Muslim clerics to instruct their credulous flocks to vote for him, and engaged in widespread electoral fraud. But even after an electoral court revealed Rahman's corruption, McCluskey still backed a crooked demagogue, who exploited racial and religious prejudice, in his fight against the official Labour candidate.
I'd suggest me learned friends have a look at this claim, which I would dispute.
And with this,
Despite having used its influence to rig selections and having Unite sponsored Labour MPs in Westminster, I suspect what Unite – or rather the McCluskey faction within it – dreams of establishing a new pure party to the left of Labour. He certainly has the men to do it.
"to allow Unite to flaunt its contempt for the party? Is it going to say, like a woman frightened of independence, that it cannot imagine surviving without McCluskey's money, however badly he treats it? Will it bite its tongue, and hope that he will change? Or is it going to stand up for itself and show him the door?
I voted for the leader of UNITE, in a democratic and fair election.
Is Cohen going to treat me and my comrades with contempt?
I voted for Ed MIliband as an individual union affiliate.
The work that we all did to try to get Labour elected.
I once saw Wyatt, head of a senicure that Thacther secured him.at a Tote Silver Ring meeting (me mate Stuart had won tickets to the Cheltenham Gold cup).
He had his snout buried in the roast beef.
Such is the future that predict for Nick.
Green Party Goes Post Modern.
The Most Inane Slogan Ever?
Postmodernism was fashionable about thirty years ago.
It was a cluster of artistic, literary, architectural styles and philosophical ideas. These overlapping trends were "characterised by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories."
Philosophically it was "critical of the foundational assumptions and universalizing tendency of Western philosophy. It emphasizes the importance of power relationships, personalization and discourse in the "construction" of truth and world views."
Amongst the more directly political themes advanced by theorists associated with the term were;
- Relativism – the idea that not only are there no "foundational" truths, but that political practice should be directed against agencies that seek to work with any.
- An end to "meta-narratives" – to overarching accounts of history, such the Marxism (historical materialism), or the economy (neo-liberalism).
- Support for identity politics: " The identity of the oppressed group gives rise to a political basis around which they can unite." Now known as "inter-sectionality", " intersections between forms or systems of oppression, domination or discrimination. An example is black feminism, which argues that the experience of being a black woman cannot be understood in terms of being black, and of being a woman, considered independently, but must include the interactions, which frequently reinforce each other."
- Other forms of localised fights against the dominant power relationships: regionalism, nationalist separatism, defending the rights of religious groups and other species.
Green politics is a political ideology that aims to create an ecologically sustainable society rooted in environmentalism, non-violence, social justice, and grassroots democracy.
It cannot be reduced to postmodernism.
Indeed some of the strands associated with the Greens are described as 'fundamentalists' – deep ecology, primitivism.
But the ghost of dead postmodernism lingers over Britain's Green Party – as it does over the Leninist Left.
As a section of the left backs Lutfur Rahmen – dropping a concern for truth and the 'meta-narrative' of class struggle for the local Boss of Tower Hamlets and the 'community', not to mention the 'rights' of Islamists, the Green party is also undergoing its own 'post-modernist turn.
- Relativism: Green party leader Natalie Bennett says it should not be a crime to belong to al-Qaeda or Isis.
- Green party candidate is alleged to have claimed the UK is responsible for the formation of Middle-Eastern terror group ISIS during a hustings for North East Hertfordshire.Graham White, who was filling in for the constituency's candidate Mario May, is said to have shocked the Buntingford crowd with his comments that Britain helped create the extremist group who have committed a swathe of atrocities across Syria and Iraq.Mr White, who is representing Stevenage, said: "We are responsible for IS [Islamic State]. IS were created by the CIA.
- Sexual politics: the Green Party is "open" to the idea of three-person marriages, Natalie Bennett has said. Ms Bennett said she was "open to further conversation and consultation" about the prospect of the state recognising polyamorous relationships.
- Animal rights. Green Party objective: To eliminate the wholesale exploitation of other species, foster understanding of our inter-relationship in the web of life and protect and promote natural habitat." "The Green Party will endeavour internationally to initiate and develop an Animal Rights Division within the United Nations Organisation." The Green Party does not define any relationship with animals that involves eating them as "non-exploitation", nor indeed describe what relationships with non-human species could be that are exploitative. How non-speaking creature can demand their rights is equally not explained.
This list is not at all exhaustive.
But it show that what tends to come out of Green politics is a kind of 'post-modernist' strategy. This is a bit by bit accumulation of ideas, as relativism (the idea that people should 'just do what they want to do – who are you to tell me what to do!) co-exists with very clear messages about what you should do (animal rights), and messages from the Authority of a wide range of groups (speaking 'Asa').
Their ideas are a jumble but the drift is clear.
The Green Party values the diversity of ways in which people relate to each other and the natural environment. It seeks a balance between a number of different processes which contribute to human well-being, rather than stressing one at the expense of all others. It refuses to treat any single value, whether freedom, wealth or equality, as a supreme criterion of political success. In an ecological society a wide range of lifestyle choices will be promoted as individuals and communities seek to establish the most appropriate means of implementing sustainability. (Philosophical Basis of the Green Party.)
We reject the view that wealth can be measured solely in monetary units, a view which allows its adherents to think it consists primarily of the results of human labour. This error has caused successive governments to pursue objectives which appear to increase the nation's wealth while in fact they reduce it. Symbols of wealth, like money, reinforce the error and dominate political decision making. Economic growth is a poor guide to human welfare.
We seek a society in which people are empowered and involved in making the decisions which affect them. We advocate participatory and democratic politics. Leadership should always be accountable, consensus-driven and moral. We reject the hierarchical structure of leaders and followers.
Property laws should permit neither states nor individuals to treat their property in whatever way they choose. Instead they should aim to ensure that all people, where they wish it, have their needs met through access to the land and its resources, while maintaining its quality for future generations. Property laws should therefore impose duties on owners as well as granting rights.
We do not believe that there is only one way to change society, or that we have all the answers. We seek to be part of a wider green movement that works for these principles through a variety of means. We generally support those who use reasonable and non-violent forms of direct action to further just aims.
Imposing 'duties' on property owners, however much wealth is "symbolic" does not seem an easy thing to do by "consensus".
Why is wealth not a 'life-style choice' amongst others?
It is hardly worth going further.
The Green Party's policies that result are an attempt to look at the world as it is and the world as it might be.
As a wish-list, drawn up by (largely) well-meaning people they appeal to the kind of fragmented interest groups typical of 'post-modern' politics. In the 1980s and 1990s this was often called the "post-materialist" constituency. Their French electorate is more recently described as "bobos" – bourgeois bohemians.
This political support is inherently unstable – as the rapid shrinking of the French Green (Europe Écologie Les Verts EELV) vote has indicated. This has gone from 16,28% (European elections 2009), 5,46 % (General Election, 2012), 8.95 (Europeans elections 2014) to 2,03% in this year's regional elections (départmentals). They are on the point of breaking into separate parties, one aligned to the ruling Parti Socialiste, the other to the Front de gauche.
It would be tempting to go into the experience of the British Greens in local government, notably Brighton, where there politics have singularly failed.
But since this will be instantly dismissed as the result of Coalition policies t finish, this is an example of the British Green's approach.
Citizen's Income is both universal, and very post-modern: it would be given to all (within a nation state), and post-mdoern – detatched from any relationship to 'production' class struggle and history.
The Green party's flagship economic policy, the £72 a week "citizen's income", would hit the poorest hardest unless it was made more complicated by including a means-tested element, the leading advocate of the policy has conceded.
The Citizen's Income Trust (CIT), which has given advice to the Green party and been repeatedly cited by the Greens, has modelled its scheme and discovered it would mean 35.15% of households would be losers, with many of the biggest losers among the poorest households.

Anal bleaching is looked at by some as a practice that is only prevalent in the adult entertainment industry where both men and women are required to show their private parts to viewers. However, this practice is also becoming popular among other males and females, especially those who want to feel clean around the anus and also, look clean and please their partner during a sexual encounter.
Why does the skin look darker in the anus area
There are many reasons that the skin may look darker, but the main reason is the color pigment of the skin is more concentrated in the area. For those with dark skin, this may not be an issue, however, if you have white skin, you may feel like the surroundings of the anus is unclean While this is not the case, it may feel better if you can have an even toned skin in the area.
Methods for lightening the anal skin area
There are a few methods available for those who want to lighten the area surrounding the anus. Some expensive procedures include surgery, and laser treatment and there are many people who can afford this treatment going for these methods. However, as with any surgical procedure, it comes with some risks, and the last thing anyone would want to have a complication in a sensitive area. The skin around the anus is delicate and can easily get injured or bruised. Therefore, one must only consider methods that will not be too harsh on the skin. Learn more about quality anal bleaching at http://analbleachadvice.com
Home anal bleaching products
There are many creams and lotions that are now available on the market that is meant for anal bleaching. These products are often made with natural ingredients and can lighten the area gradually.
When considering the purchase of such products, you must be cautious as some products that you will find on the market contain harsh chemicals that can cause side effects and adverse reactions on your skin.
There are a couple of advantages for doing anal bleaching in your home. One is the privacy which many people do value, and the other is that quality creams will give you a good result and will not have any side effects. They are also cheaper that laser treatments or surgery and will not call for any recovery period. They can be done in comfort at home when you want.

Anesthesia Technician Education Requirements and Career Info
Anesthesia technicians require little formal education. Learn about the training, job duties and certification options to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
Anesthesia technicians assist anesthesiologists in the administration of drugs that block patients' pain during surgery or other medical procedures. These professionals usually work in emergency and operating rooms. Although this career only requires a high school-level education and on-the-job training, some individuals complete certificate and associate's degree programs that combine classroom studies and hands-on practice. Licensing is not required, but many anesthesia technicians seek professional certifications that can help them advance in their careers.
|Required Education
|High school diploma or GED certificate
|Projected Job Growth
|24% for all health technologists and technicians from 2012-2022*
|Median Salary
|$35,715 (2014)**
Sources: * U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), **PayScale.com.
Education Requirements for Anesthesia Technicians
Aspiring anesthesia technicians can enter the field with a high school diploma and acquire training on the job. Certificate and associate's degree programs that can prepare prospective technicians for certification and career advancement are available at vocational and community colleges. These programs combine clinical experience with classroom instruction.
Topics covered often include EKG analysis, first aid/CPR, medical terminology and pharmacology. In the clinical component of these programs, students gain hands-on experience in operating rooms of local facilities. They may also learn about fluid management, blood products and devices used to administer anesthesia.
Graduates of training programs can earn the certified anesthesia technician (Cer.A.T.) credential by completing an exam offered by the American Society of Anesthesia Technologists and Technicians (ASATT). Applicants who have a high school diploma and at least two years of work experience as anesthesia technicians can also pursue the Cer.A.T. designation. The certification exam is computer-based and can be taken at approved locations throughout the United States. ASATT is the only organization that offers a nationally recognized certification for anesthesia technicians.
Career Information
Anesthesia technicians work under the supervision of nurse anesthetists, anesthesiologist assistants or anesthesiologists. Job duties include maintaining anesthesia equipment, preparing and monitoring patients, stocking anesthesia supplies and transporting patients. Technicians who are certified by ASATT have a more active role in assisting anesthesiologists with patient evaluations and the administration of anesthesia.
Employment settings for anesthesia technicians include hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities. According to PayScale.com, the median salary for an anesthesia technician was $35,715 in September 2014.

At 3:00 a.m. on March 1, 2008, Terry Caffey awoke to find his daughter's boyfriend standing in his bedroom with a gun. An instant later the teen opened fire, killing Terry's wife, his two sons, and wounding him 12 times, before setting the house ablaze. Terry fell into deep depression and planned to kill himself, but God intervened. Upon visiting his burned-out property, Terry noticed a scorched scrap of paper from one of his wife's books leaning against a tree trunk. The page read: "[God,] I couldn't understand why You would take my family and leave me behind to struggle along without them. And I guess I still don't totally understand that part of it. But I do believe that You're sovereign; You're in control." That page was like a direct message from God, and it turned Terry's life around. Now, one year later, Terry is remarried, the adoptive father of two young sons, and working to rebuild his relationship with his 17-year-old daughter, who is currently serving two life sentences in a Texas state penitentiary for her involvement in the crimes.
Terror by Night tells the compelling story of how Terry Caffey found peace after his wife and sons were brutally murdered and his teenage daughter implicated in the crime. Sharing never-before-told details about the night of the crime and subsequent murder trial, it explains how Terry was able to forgive the men who murdered his family, and how he even interceded with the prosecutors on their behalf. A powerful example of how the power of forgiveness can bring healing after tragedy and great loss, it shows how God can bring good out of even the darkest tragedies.

Skip to comments.Why Leftist Thought Is Predominant In America
Posted on 05/30/2008 11:32:47 AM PDT by William Tell 2
Michael Bellesiles was a history professor at Emory University and the director of Emory's Center for the Study of Violence. He was also a senior fellow at the Stanford Humanities Institute and visiting fellow at Chicago's Newberry Library. Several years ago, he published a book called Arming America, which claimed Americans did not own many guns in the early years of the republic and, therefore, the Second Amendment is bogus. The book was well received by gun control zealots. He received Columbia University's distinguished Bancroft Prize for history books. He was the darling of the media.
However, there was one problem: Mr. Bellesiles' claims were fraudulent. Eventually, his prize was rescinded and he resigned from Emory.
Why would a fraudulent book promoting abolition of gun ownership be lauded, while scientific studies and books such as John Lott's More Guns, Less Crime are immediately demeaned?
For about 20 years, left-wing academicians ...(the rest is at this link):
Ding Ding Ding!
We have a winner!!!!
Best answer of the day.
AND the MSM
Thatz eezy. Its cuza skulez.
It's all the fault of those Christian zealots, don't cha know.
Selective Service gave teachers an exemption from the draft, so the draft dodgers became teachers - So we have, and have had, large numbers of left wing teachers; old story, you subsidize something and you get more of it.
Schools across the spectrum I am afraid...preschool through postsecondary.
I read the article. It doesn't say "Why" leftist thought is predominant in America. It just says that it is.
Good article though.
Welcome to the forum.
You have that right. Public schools and universities when they are not acting as the mouth piece of the left are dumbing down education to the lowest common denominator.
It actually meant "Central" America.
"Leftist thought" is an oxymoron.
Actually it's not 'public schools'
The correct term is
The problem goes much deeper than the simplistic answer.
How did the media, entertainment, public school education, universities, etc. all acquire a leftward bent.
Liberals work a lot harder than conservatives at integrating their thought into these social institutions.
We will never have much effect on government until we gain more control in these issues.
We need to stop investing in the Republican party and start working on grass roots organizations.
"There is a saying that nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. If conservatives do not respond, it could soon be the false, left-wing idea now taking root in our culture."
This statement pretty much sums it up.
Trying to change that as best I can...:-) It is daunting being a Conservative teacher amidst all these liberal teachers. Just recently found out that a teacher in my building is teaching an entire unit on Al Bore's "An Inconvenient Lie". Made my blood boil. In response, I handed out researched articles from official, scientifically-sound sources that offered evidence to the contrary and simply tasked the students to do the research themselves and make their own informed decisions. I actually allowed the students to do an extra-credit assignment which included researching pro/con views on globull warming, then formulating a position statement based on their newly acquired information. Nice to see that a few saw the issue for what it really is...false.
Haven't heard a word yet from the teacher who was teaching Al Bore's movie...
The constant AARP ad which says we need LIFETIME Financial security
Hooray for that truth. Of course, the Media , the female vote which depends on cradle to the grave govt. care, Democrats in general, and the universtities which know how to save the snail darters, wear condoms, but can't find Kansas on a map, all contribute.
Where can I find parts I II and III?
The media, entertainment industry etc. have been trained in John Dewey's incubator of socialism. It's not just the content either, it is also the method, the objectives, the unions and the fact of government schools existence. It may not be the only problem, and undoubtedly there are other contributers, but government schools account for around 85%-95% of the problem. It is simple to acknowledge the education establishment for liberalizing of America, but hardly simplistic.
"For about 20 years, left-wing academicians"
You must be relatively young. I can guarantee to you that it started WAY before 20 years ago.
In the mid-50s when Khrushchev was in power, in the then U.S.S.R., he said, paraphrasing, "Your children will be taught and you and they won't know they are being taught."
Because the men with balls are dying off and wussies are replacing them.
Unless more conservatives become members of what Robert Bork calls the "chattering classes," America will become a totalitarian society.
These are people who want power and go after it.
Or people who go into fields that they don't think are well paid and start looking for power or revenge as a compensation.
They aren't going to go away, but they probably won't make the country totalitarian any time soon either, because most Americans have a natural reaction against the excesses of such people.
"In the mid-50s when Khrushchev was in power, in the then U.S.S.R., he said, paraphrasing, 'Your children will be taught and you and they wont know they are being taught.'"
Had a bat$h*t second-grade teacher in the 1950s who made no effort to hide her contempt for me because I was what we now call "gifted." She forced me to walk solo around the room and instructed the other children to laugh at me.
It was her way of forcing me into the "box" to make me a good little worker bee. I remember it was all about sharing and the group — individualism got my result.
Yep, socialism's been marching through the institutions for a hundred years at least. We need to do the same thing if we want the pendulum to swing back.
Because the men with balls are dying off and wussies are replacing them.
Last time I checked boomer's were still running the show. Take from that what you will.
"Last time I checked boomer's were still running the show. Take from that what you will."
Bill Clinton and George W Bush are our only two Boomer presidents. Pelosi and Reid are of the "Korean war" generation — between the Greatest generation and the Boomers.
Boomer Derangement Syndrome can distort the facts somewhat, no offense...
No argument, we all know that. However, the education system in America is not the cause of leftward thinking, but the result. How do we change that dynamic? Certainly not by voting for politicians.
It was a supposedly conservative Republican which gave us the Dept. of Education.
I would love to read the other three parts of this series, do you have a URL to those?
Excellent piece. Thanks.
I believe it was Jimmy Carter who did that, as a campaign promise to the teachers union. It effectively gave them a cabinet post.
He signed the Public Education Organization Act creating the DOE in October 79, and it went into operation in May 80.
I'm not sure it is the result as much as it is the vehicle for propagation. One can't prevent dangerous ideas, but you can control the contagious spread of ideas. Some bad ideas will simply die out in the market place of ideas, unless they are foisted upon a population with force. When the government taxes a population in order to force those bad ideas on that population you have a tyranny called government schools.
That is great, keep up the good work.
The real test is to see how much money Mr. Gore will make if the carbon credit tax is implemented...billions.
People also don't know that he and his Dad were underwritten by Occidental Oil for years.
Teddy Kennedy, Environmental Icon, actually is also in the oil business, go figure.
Thank you!!!! It is so easy to adopt the habits and thoughts of the left once you get into a teaching position in higher ed. I applaud your efforts.
It seems to me that the regulative idea that we heirs of the Enlightenment, we Socratists, most frequently use to criticize the conduct of various conversational partners is that of needing education in order to outgrow their primitive fear, hatreds, and superstitions . . . It is a concept which I, like most Americans who teach humanities or social science in colleges and universities, invoke when we try to arrange things so that students who enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists will leave college with views more like our own . . . The fundamentalist parents of our fundamentalist students think that the entire American liberal establishment is engaged in a conspiracy. The parents have a point. Their point is that we liberal teachers no more feel in a symmetrical communication situation when we talk with bigots than do kindergarten teachers talking with their students . . . When we American college teachers encounter religious fundamentalists, we do not consider the possibility of reformulating our own practices of justification so as to give more weight to the authority of the Christian scriptures. Instead, we do our best to convince these students of the benefits of secularization. We assign first-person accounts of growing up homosexual to our homophobic students for the same reasons that German schoolteachers in the postwar period assigned The Diary of Anne Frank. . . You have to be educated in order to be . . . a participant in our conversation . . . So we are going to go right on trying to discredit you in the eyes of your children, trying to strip your fundamentalist religious community of dignity, trying to make your views seem silly rather than discussable. We are not so inclusivist as to tolerate intolerance such as yours . . . I dont see anything herrschaftsfrei [domination free] about my handling of my fundamentalist students. Rather, I think those students are lucky to find themselves under the benevolent Herrschaft [domination] of people like me, and to have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents . . . I am just as provincial and contextualist as the Nazi teachers who made their students read Der Stürmer; the only difference is that I serve a better cause. -Universality and Truth, in Robert B. Brandom (ed.), Rorty and his Critics (Oxford: Blackwell, 2000), pp. 21-2.
Hooray Mike! Great article! How about links to parts I II & III.
Thanks for your work, EnigmaticAnomaly!
GRRRRREAT thread! Thanks to all contributors.
I believe that it is the combination of two things. One, that leftists are patient. Not saying that they are more patient than rational people, but their patience is key. Two, leftists have very skillfully made their agenda into a ratchet. That is, they understand that is self defeating to try to get every leftist policy/program they want implemented all at once. Instead they focus on securing small victories, "ratcheting" them in place as the widely accepted societal standard, then working towards their next small victory. If they fail it's no big deal because their ratchet has guaranteed that even when they lose, they win.
This is something that conservatives can learn from. Leftist's ideals and visions may be driven by emotions and feelings, but the manner in how they work to achieve their goals is very rational. Conservatives on the other hand have ideals and visions driven by rational thought, but the manner in how we work to achieve our goals is very irrational and emotion driven.
The conservative, for the most part, is very absolutist and will disregard out of hand any policy or politician who does not fit the mold of conservative one hundred percent (I am only speaking generally). The leftist will champion any person or policy that will in some way advance his agenda even if it does not fit the leftist mold one hundred percent. As a result, leftists are constantly making gains, or at the very least in a position to fight for gains, while conservatives are almost always playing defense. A perfect example of this is the gay marriage issue. Ten years ago would it have been considered a conservative 'victory' that a judge stated that a ban voted on by the citizens of a state didn't violate the state constitution? Even when they lose, they win.
Women's Suffrage!
I prefer to call them what they really are, "Government Churches".
Richard Rorty was a Prof. of Philosophy at Princeton, U of VA, and then Stanford. He died in 2007. Our taxpayer-funded universities have many of these types of people. Most are not so blatant about it. They just think that they are good enlightened people who need to enlighten their students. They really think that they are doing good by overthrowing the students' religious beliefs.

I believe that your post must be the post of the month, if not the day. It is very astute and well said. If you don't object, I will put it on my profile page (with credit to you). It bears repeating. Your three paragraphs bear more wisdom and profundity than anything I've read on here in some time. Thank you.

A variety of classes and groups are offered throughout the year to meet the varied needs and interests of members and friends. These include theological and biblical studies, book groups, and classes that cover topics such as social issues, environmental concerns, problems in the U.S. and around the world, preparation for church trips, and other topics that merit our attention. A connection with our faith, though not always explicitly stated, is always implied.
We are a congregation founded and grounded in affirming all people regardless of race and ethnicity. To deepen the Sacred Conversation on Race and learn how race intersects with many justice issues, we gather on the first Sunday of each month, October through May, at 11:00 a.m. for prayer and thought on the continuing issues of racism.
On the second Sunday of even-numbered months, we gather for lunch and a movie at 12:30 pm. The films are chosen to be relevant to today's most pressing issues of justice, faith, society, spirituality and how we can grow in our faithful response.
Monthly themes tie together Faith in Film and the church's outreach and social justice programs. These programs are offered in partnership by the Board of Outreach and Social Justice and the Board of Christian Education.
2015-16 offerings include:
Reflect and Act (Sunday, October 11): This will be a compilation of video clips about racial justice and mass incarceration, intermingled with discussion and reflection. Share your voice with our local community leaders through an opportunity to write letters to your locally elected officials, the Chief of Police and the Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools.
2014-15 Faith in Film program information may be found here.
2013-14 Faith in Film program information may be found here.
The Monday morning Bible study class features weekly discussion of the Bible and related biblical studies topics. In 2015-16 the group will view and discuss Historian Luke Timothy Johnson's The Apostle Paul from The Great Courses. "One of the most fascinating, important, and controversial figues in the religious history of the West, Paul the Apostle continues to find champions and detractors, sometimes in surprising places," says Professor Johnson.
The varied backgrounds of the class members contribute significantly to the discussion. The class meets at 10:00 am in Room 8 from September through May, led by Richard Davidson.
The Board of Christian Education Adult Education Committee and the Board of Deacons hosted a soup supper and discussion series Sundays in Lent. Attendees spent time reflecting on our congregation's sixty years of ministry in Annandale, in Fairfax County, in Virginia and throughout the world. Each session was shaped by the newsletters, annual reports, photographs and historic items lovingly tended in our church archive.
Little River's young adults join young adults from other progressive churches for Bible study, dinner, and fellowship on first and third Tuesdays of the month. The group meets from 7:00 - 9:00 pm at Rodman House, on the campus of Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, in Vienna. Pathfinders also participate in mission projects, an annual retreat, and other events. To learn more about Pathfinders please visit their blog.
The character and scope of the offerings of this group change over time depending upon the suggestions from women of the church and the planning team's discernment. Some of the offerings of the group are:
Covenant Group: a gathering of women who share prayers, joys and concerns with one another through meetings and brunch gatherings. There are currently four covenant groups, each of which focus on a common interest such as "moms who work outside the home" and "social justice".
Women's Book Group: a gathering of women who meet approximately every other month on Sundays, 12:15 - 1:30 pm, to discuss books of mutual interest. Leadership is volunteered. All women are invited and encouraged to attend whether the book has been finished or even opened!

Firmly affixed to your sphinctor muscle, blowing blue smoke up your arsss!
It's ALWAYS gonna be better next qtr.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
No financial detail, no technical detail, nothing to pin the ol boy to!
Brilliant, just brilliant!
It really took him two weeks to finish that report that resembles something from a high school junior?
Oooh, I'm scared! VRX will share profits with PGNX on this maybe $50MM per year drug that will require $100 million in marketing to get it off the ground.
And back down she comes...................
Surely every patient in the world will go out and pay 100x the price of OTC Ex Lax for a new prescription laxative!
Ask Michael Pierson, this is a BILLION DOLLAR DRUG! Thats why he dumped all his shares!
What backlog?
Told ya........................
Mode 5 upgrade deadline not until 2020. What will they do for business for the next 3 1/2 years??????????????
Even the uber bulls can't muster a positive post!
Sentiment: Sell
Ol' heavy drinker Adam Fartstain on a ZIOP Twitter rant. The drunkard is so proud of himself because somebody sent him an email about ZIOP financing plans.
Oh Adam, you are SO powerful!
Maybe my 30 year old HP15C calculator is failing because when I calculate the 2nd qtr production increase from first qtr, 18,345 vs 15,510 I get 18.3% increase.
Fercrisake, Did Elon round UP from 18.3% to 20%? Is he THAT unable to accept reality?
But then again he knew his autopilot had decapitated a driver for 7 weeks but didn't bother to let anyone know there is a flaw until NTHSA started an investigtion.
Oh Elon, what else aren't you telling us???????????????
Nice job calling out Dr. Kim. He's a flimflam man.................. Whatever it takes to keep raising money, he'll do it.
I'm not one for hanging out with Adam Fartstain, but he has been spot-on with this company!
If this were still on the Nasdaq the stock would have probably doubled already on the news.
Bulletin Board, the kiss of death.
RE: Debt waiver. I'm guessing there is just a little bit more to it than the $50K payment. Asset leins? Converts? Perform xxx favors? (The Greeks are known for it!)
Perhaps we'll see a 6K detailing the agreement. Worst case we'll know when they file bankruptcy and/or file an annual report.
Covered the last of my short today. Borrow cost vs near term profit potentiall not worth it at this point. Still say it goes to zero!
Thanks PRGN!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Frankly, Chip kicked loudmouth Cramer's rear end!
Chip calmly made important relevant points about missed strategic opportunity.
All flap jawwed Cramer just kept beligerently ranting about short term results which are totally irrelevent as the comparisons are extremely easy because of the see thru stink pants fiasco of 2014/2015. Other than having another fiasco, improved short term results were inevitable.
Cramer's arguments strike at the heart of his attitude as the pastor of 'The Church of What's Working Now'. A year ago all Cramer could do was insult and belittle LULU management. Now they are geniuses.
For what it's worth go find out how Cramer's charitable trust has performed over it's history (Cramer keeps it private, for members only). The Trust has massively underperformed the S&P500 on total return. It has done particularly terrible in the last two years. Why do you think cutthroat Jim threw Stephanie Link under the bus?
Nevermind how Jim's company, TheStreet's stock (symbol:TST) has performed over the last 10 years.
Were it not for trading in the murky shadows prior to Regulation-FD, a massive bull market, and for the help of his ex-wife, I doubt Cramers hedge fund would have faired very well.
How's that working out?
Why pay $65K for a 200 mile range Mod-S when you can buy a 200 mile range Mod-3 for $35K?
Pretty clear the Mod-3 has cannablized Mod-S order book.
Only thing that could help this company is if the CEO found a goose that would dump a $30 million golden egg in his lap.
No cash, huge debt they can't pay, sold off all their ships so no way to generate revenue, and still have to pay those bloated Greek corporate salaries.
This stock is going to zero.
$125 million in the bank and they say they need another $37.5 million for development, etc....
FDA decision is 'a few weeks away' with the potential for the stock to triple before issuing stock.
Yep, this is a good time to be selling stock............. Eff the shareholder!
Management is either really smart (biopsies bad), or really dumb (biopsies indicate efficacy!)
My guess is the first................
P.S. I don't have a position in SRPT at this time. But I have little respect for the duplicitous way the company has conducted itself over the last few years!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
$125 million on the balance sheet not enough to initiate commercial production?
yeah, let's issues shares at $20 this week instead of issuing them at $40 next month. Eff them shareholders! Let's dillute, dillute, dillute!
More rationalizing going on here than when an estrogen loaded and Mabeline caked Bruce Jenner looks at himself in the mirror and calls himself Kaitlin!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I'll reiterate.....
Why do an offering at $20/sh when in a month you could do it at $40/share.
For years this company's management has abused DMD patients, abused the FDA, and now for a final jab is going to abuse shareholder?????
I'm sorry. It stinks!
???????????? Why do an offering at $20 when in a month you could do an offering at $40????????? I'm no alarmist, I'm a realist.
SRPT knows what the biopsies look like.
Management dumb like a fox!
Are they serious? How bad are the biopsies?
So they know what the FDA wants in order to give them approval. And they KNOW what the biopsies look like.
Fat Lady says....... SELL!
And I don't care what Fartstain says..............
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Sorry, I misread. Don't know if move effects the notes.

My blog has only posts and no pages,
I was using WordPress 2.0.7 before. I was using permalinks structure /%category%/%postname%.html with no category path and i had hacked the classes.php file where it adds /category/ to the category url before the category name where there is no default category path specified.
so my category urls were
http://www.no1guide.co.nz/destination/ rather than
I have upgrade my wordpress to 2.1 however the classes.php file is completely different and i cant locate the code that creates the category url,
any ideas?
