OBAMA: ‘BIG BROTHER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWNS YOUR CHILD’

Fear in paradise: 

A long post on the evil Obama and what he could be doing to school kids. Bizzare but true interpretation of a simple (overheard) schoolboy conversation. Essentially a pair of private school kids sus out a strategy to get good marks thru using a tutor. Normal habits of the wealthy I would say. But the answer by the infamous Midnight Sun blog is to home tutor them. "Homeschooling is the last frontier that the Left has yet to conquer in some corners of the world. It’s an amazing bastion of freedom and resort for those who have wised up to the public school system. It’s logical that it is going to become a target for the enemy then. The enemy which wants to indoctrinate and destroy the next generation."

Alan - a recognition I only knew Alan a bit. Met him at Naomi and Kelvin's place then we met a few times later - he talked. We talked. I was going to help him build a web site for his music. He was putting together a latest album. He sent me messages and wished me a great new year. Wish our friendship could have developed.

k-punkThe writer of thisblog posts this: "The whole world seems like a conspiracy to stop me from writing at the moment. Because of call centre rhizomidiocy and corporate incompetence, my broadband connection was prematurely cut off and will not return until the end of February. But this is only one consequence of the trauma of moving.

After I moved back down to the South East last weekend, I worked out that I’ve moved something like sixteen times in the last twenty years. This is by contrast with my mother, who has only moved twice in her life, and has never lived outside a three-mile radius of her first family home. The stability that I took for granted as a child will never arrive. No doubt this is in part an effect of class mobility, of moving away from a rooted working class world in which you are expected to live and work in the town where you were born. But it is also an effect of post-Fordism, a feature of what Jameson calls the ‘fungible’ present of late capitalism. Even if I had stayed in my home town, I could not have remained in the ‘rooted working class world’, because it no longer exists. The stable Fordist town (dominated by a few firms that would employ people for their whole working life) has disappared. The ‘pit town’ about which scholarship boys such as Dennis Potter’s Nigel Barton felt so painfully ambivalent is of course long gone. But what remains – and it has become even more widespread – is Barton’s vertiginous sense of existential dislocation. Mobility is perpetual, but instead of being associated with movement between classes, it functions now as an alibi for class divisions that have reasserted themselves just as, in Barton’s (and Potter’s) youth, they for a brief moment became more fluid."

Castro resigns : Tried to find an article that gave some decent coverage without North American bias ( MSN or FOX). NY Times runs a good story. His brother,as expected took over power.
