kayak which I adapted into a Camping kayak

t I do is this. < psocretes > 2015-06-21 02:56 When I need to escape I have a quality inflatable kayak which I adapted into a Camping kayak. It’s better than camping in the woods because it’s safer for all sorts of reasons. it’s highly mobile so any problems you can just move on. It can carry loads of weight and more stuff than you can carry on your person. So loads of water and food. You can get away from people for a week at a time no problem. That canopy is highly waterproof. I have been in seriously bad storms for days and it stood up to a heavy battering. I have been able to cover ten miles in a day without any problem and I’m late fifties. Where I go is called The Norfolk Broads in England. It’s a rural farming community. Once you’re on the broads (rivers canals) there are loads of places to pull over and so remote in places if you wanted to make a “base” no one would even know. The farmer might find it eventually. I have lived in it for six weeks no problem. I use a small sack barrow to move it about because it is heavy at 50 Lb. but I can put it on trains to get about long distances. Like you I live in what we call low cost public housing and it’s shit just like you say. So this is how I escape I keep the property on for winter and somewhere as a base because society says I should. I bugger off as often as I want for as long as I want. I have recently moved to the Broads from London and now live right next to them. In going to build a small barge style boat 4 foot wide and about twelve feet long but in sections. The main section is 4 feet by six feet 2 inches which is the cabin to live in. The reason being I can store it in my flat when not needed but bolt it together into make a 12 foot long proper boat for when the weather gets colder, stick an outboard on the back and off I go. I can even have a wood stove on it. Stay safe my friend. https://forums.craigslist.org/?ID=261960189

OLD MAN TO PILGRIMMAGE 9,000 MILES BY FOOT

Tuesday, July 22, 2014


"BTW; I was born in 1939, I have a lot more Education & Expatriate in Real Life Living Skills than you." So that means you are 75 years old.



I don't believe you.Your rant is clearly partisan and you are in fact the poster berkeley.



Go away you old man! ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR HATRED IS TYPICALLY AMERICAN? UGLY FILTHY SELF AGGRANDIZING UNWHOLESOME MANIFEST DESTINY DELUSION; I shan't go away, I am MORE American than You, please! I Believe People Such as Yourself Have a Term...STFU.....



BTW, I am 47 years old. I lived in 23 countries in my life, Germany, Russia and China among them and I speak 34 languages. I also have a PH.D from Oxford in political science and worked for the US state department for 77 years in Russia.





 The US and the Crime of Genocide Against Native Americans



        SAN FRANCISCO WILL SOON SHIP ALL THE HOMELESS TO "CAMPS" FOR EXTERMINATION! THE NAZIS ARE THE TECHNOCRATS! THE HOMELESS & SENIORS ARE THE GYPSIES & JEWS! HISTORY IS REPEATING ITS SELF!









Zbigniew Brzezinski's book "The Grand Chessboard" said that Americans would only support the military plans of the US neocons "in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat", another example of a US motive for carrying out the 9/11 attacks.







EVEN NOAM CHOMSKY RECENTLY AGREED WITH CHRIS HEDGES & MORRIS BERMAN, HATE AGAINST THE POOR & HOMELESS IS NOW BEING REVEALED AS REPEAT OF NATIONAL SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA of the 1930's.

            



    German Nazi Party member Joseph Goebbels became Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister in 1933, which gave him power over all German radio, press, cinema, and theater.



    In 1925 Goebbels met the party leader Adolf Hitler. In 1926 he was made Gauleiter, or party leader, for the region of Berlin, and in 1927 he founded and became editor of the official National Socialist periodical Der Angriff (The Attack). He was elected to the Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1928. By exploiting mob emotions and by employing all modern methods of propaganda Goebbels helped Hitler into power.

    

    His work as a propagandist materially aided Hitler's rise to power in 1933. When Hitler seized power in 1933, Goebbels was appointed Reichsminister for propaganda and national enlightenment. From then until his death, Goebbels used all media of education and communications to further Nazi propagandistic aims, instilling in the Germans the concept of their leader as a veritable god and of their destiny as the rulers of the world. In 1938 he became a member of the Hitler cabinet council. Late in World War II, in 1944, Hitler placed him in charge of total mobilization.

    

    As Reichsminister for Propaganda and National Enlightenment, Goebbels was given complete control over radio, press, cinema, and theater; later he also regimented all German culture. Goebbels placed his undeniable intelligence and his brilliant insight into mass psychology entirely at the service of his party. His most virulent propaganda was against the Jews. As a hypnotic orator he was second only to Hitler, and in his staging of mass meetings and parades he was unsurpassed. Utterly cynical, he seems to have believed only in the self-justification of power. He remained loyal to Hitler until the end. On May 1, 1945, as Soviet troops were storming Berlin, Goebbels committed suicide.



    Listed below are the principles purported to summarize what made Goebbels tick or fail to tick. They may be thought of as his intellectual legacy. Whether the legacy has been reliably deduced is a methodological question. Whether it is valid is a psychological matter. Whether or when parts of it should be utilized in a democratic society are profound and disturbing problems of a political and ethical nature.





GOEBBELS' PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA



                Based upon Goebbels' Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.



    1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.



    2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.



        a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.



        b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.



        c. It must oversee other agencies' activities which have propaganda consequences



    3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.



    4. Propaganda must affect the enemy's policy and action.



        a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence



        b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions



        c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself



        d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity



    5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign



    6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.



    7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.



    8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.



    9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.



    10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.



    11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.



    12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.



    13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.



        a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.



        b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment



        c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness



    14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.



        a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses



        b. They must be capable of being easily learned



        c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations



        d. They must be boomerang-proof



    15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.



    16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.



        a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat



        b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves



    17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.



        a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated



        b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective



    18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.



    19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.

The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference.

The opposite of art is not ugliness; it's indifference.

The opposite of faith is not heresy; it's indifference.

The opposite of life is not death; it's indifference.

Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.

On September 8, 2000, the head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) formally apologized for the agency's participation in the "ethnic cleansing" of Western tribes. From the forced relocation and assimilation of the "sauvage" to the white man's way of life to the forced sterilization of Native Americans, the BIA set out to "destroy all things Indian." Through the exploration of the United States' Federal Indian policy, it is evident that this policy intended to "destroy, in whole or in part," the Native American population. The extreme disparity in the number of Native American people living within the United States' borders at the time Columbus arrived, approximately ten million compared to the approximate 2.4 million Indians and Eskimos alive in the United States today, is but one factor that illustrates the success of the government's plan of "Manifest Destiny."



No longer can we remain indifferent and justify these acts of genocide committed by the United States government, its agencies, and its personnel against Native Americans as a result of colonization or the need to establish a prosperous union. Instead, the United States government, its agencies, and those involved with carrying out the measures designed to inflict genocidal acts against the Native American population must be held in violation of customary international law, as well as conventional international law, as proscribed in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention).



The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944 and was derived from the Greek word genos, which means tribe or race, and the Latin word cide, which is commonly found in words such as homicide, infanticide, and fratricide. In his first enunciation of "genocide," Lemkin defined the term in two different ways: (1) "the practice of extermination of nations and ethnic groups as carried out by invaders" and (2) "[the] destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor." Currently, "genocide" is commonly defined as "acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."



The crime of "genocide" is recognized as one of the most heinous international crimes under customary international law. A practice is proscribed as a crime under customary international law through the existence of the following: (1) uniformity of state practice, (2) generality of state practice, and (3) the opinion that state practice is required by law. Customary international law also recognizes any crime that is universally condemned by the international community as a jus cogens international crime, which gives rise to obligations erga omnes. In accordance with customary international law, an obligation erga omnes requires a state party to extradite or prosecute perpetrators of these crimes found within its territory. Because the international community has universally condemned genocide, as evidenced in part by the ratification of the Genocide Convention, it has risen to the level of a jus cogens international crime. As a result, any individuals, agencies, or states that commit genocide must be held accountable.



On December 9, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly approved a draft of the Genocide Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide, and since then 135 states have ratified the Convention, including the United States. According to the Vienna Convention on the Laws of Treaties, conventions are binding and enforceable against all states that have signed and ratified the specific convention. Therefore, in accordance to Article IV of the Genocide Convention, which requires all parties to prosecute those charged with genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, direct andpublic incitement to commit genocide, attempt to commit genocide, and complicity in genocide, regardless of their capacity as a ruler or public official, in a competent tribunal within the State where the crime took place or in a competent international tribunal that has proper jurisdiction over the case, any persons or agencies that commit acts of genocide within the territory of the United States must be held accountable for their crimes.



Even though the crime of genocide remains universally condemned by the international community, the United States government, its agencies, and its personnel have been effectively granted de facto immunity. The time has come to hold the perpetrators of these acts of genocide accountable and to formulate a system of reparation for the victims of these heinous international crimes, in order for the world, as well as the victims, to realize that justice does prevail in the international community.



This Comment will address the demise of Native Americans' livelihood, reproductive rights, and identity at the hands of the United States government, its agencies, and its personnel. Because the United States had a direct role in perpetrating genocidal acts against Native Americans, it must be held accountable for these acts. The international community must hold these agencies and persons responsible, and an apology and reparations must be awarded to Native Americans for their grave losses. While the need for reparations is clear, the method used to provide these reparations remains at issue.
