  • BARACK OBAMA by Wayne Allyn Root This Is the Most Important Column I've Ever Written
    MEET THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BARACK OBAMA By Wayne Allyn Root This is the most important column I've ever written This is my chance to play the modern-day version of Paul Revere. "The commies are coming, The commies are coming." Yes, I am re- porting a communist takeover. The leader of this attack is not whom it appears to be. Republicans, conservatives, patriots, and capitalists are sick right about now. We're in shock. We can't believe Trump isn't president, We can't believe Americans voted against the greatest economy, perhaps in history, and the greatest jobs picture ever, and the greatest improvement in middle-class incomes ever. And after the covid lockdown and economic collapse, Trump reduced the greatest economic comeback ever. Remember 33% GDP in Q3 2020? That was the biggest number in history. Who would vote against all that? You'd have to be self- hating and suicidal. We also can't believe America voted for a feeble old man with dementia who mumbles "I don't know what I'm signing, but I'm gonna sign these Executive Orders." Even though he got his two vaccine shots before he became president. We all believe the election was rigged and stolen. We all know the feeble old man now called "President" would be more at home in an assisted living home than the White House. That man can't be our new president. I have news for my fellow conservative, Republicans, capitalists, and patriots. Biden's not the president. He's a puppet.

Abstract This dissertation takes the form of an eleven-part podcast series titled, “A Self-Help Guide to Future Success.” The radio series relates to the topic of personal success. Success comes in all sorts of forms – financial, social, ethical, personal: it cannot be defined. In today’s environment, people find themselves confused more than ever before. As a senior in college who is about to graduate in less than four weeks, I find it mind-boggling how little students have thought about their futures.

Starting from The Fellowship Foundation founded in the USA in the 1930s and looking at similar and interconnected developments in various countries from South America, Africa, and Europe, the article explores theological foundations of today's world- wide ascend of fascism. Using the example of Anders Behring Breivik’sfamous terrorist attack in Norway, it explores theoretical background for Alt-Right attacks on political correctness and ‘cultural Marxism’. Looking into the 'end of the world' theology and its morality, the article explains deep relationships between Christian fundamentalist prosperity theology and Israel. The article connects Christianity’s forward-looking, linear view of history with ‘end of the world’ theology and capitalism. It explores the postdigital and post-truth nature of evangelical Christians’ public communications and links them to various anti- intellectualist tendencies such as the anti-vaccination movement. Using insights from Marxism, critical pedagogy, and liberation theology, the article demystifies Christian fundamentalist theology and points towards opportunites for resistance. Keywords Criticalpedagogy. Liberation theology. Christian fundamentalism. Prosperity theology. Alt-Right . Linear time .

  • Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias Edited by Peter Ludlow
    Ludlow cover 7/7/01 2:08 PM Page 1 Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias Crypto Anarchy, Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias edited by Peter Ludlow In Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias, Peter Ludlow extends the approach he used so successfully in High Noon on the Electronic Frontier, offering a collection of writings that reflect the eclectic nature of the online world, as well as its tremendous energy and creativity. This time the subject is the emergence of governance structures within online communities and the visions of political sovereignty shaping some of those communities. Ludlow views virtual communities as laboratories for conducting experiments in the Peter Ludlow construction of new societies and governance structures. While many online experiments will fail, Ludlow argues that given the synergy of the online world, new and superior governance structures may emerge. Indeed, utopian visions are not out of place, provided that we understand the new utopias to edited by be fleeting localized “islands in the Net” and not permanent institutions. The book is organized in five sections. The first section considers the sovereignty of the Internet. The second section asks how widespread access to resources such as Pretty Good Privacy and anonymous remailers allows the possibility of “Crypto Anarchy”—essentially carving out space for activities that lie outside the purview of nation-states and other traditional powers. The Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, third section shows how the growth of e-commerce is raising questions of legal jurisdiction and taxation for which the geographic boundaries of nation- states are obsolete. The fourth section looks at specific experimental governance and Pirate Utopias structures evolved by online communities.

  • Global Economy: Hillary Clinton John Edwards Barack Obama
    http://www.uwec.edu/bonstemj/Inequality/Fall.08/GlobalEconomy.htm Global Economy: Hillary Clinton (Democrat) Mike Huckabee (Republican) Mitt Romney (Republican) John Edwards (Democrat) John McCain (Republican) Green Party Candidate Barack Obama (Democrat) Ron Paul (Republican) Libertarian Party Candidate Hillary Clinton Clinton supported NAFTA, but now is against CAFTA. How she has voted in regards to free trade between countries has varied depending on the country, but overall seems to promote trade between nations. She has defended outsourcing of U.S. jobs to India, but then had the opposite stance when it came to China. With outsourcing, it seems like how she votes is situational instead of decidedly one way or another. Her focus is on educating Americans better so that they can effectively compete for the jobs, and also creating new jobs so it is less of a problem. Would end the tax breaks that exist in the tax code for outsourcing jobs and have trade agreements with enforceable labor and environmental standards. Voting History: http://votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=55463&type=category&category=63&go.x=12&go.y=10 John Edwards Free Trade: He agrees on more free trade with the rest of the world but says only if it has no affect on American jobs and that they require labor and environmental standards in the trade agreements. He would like human rights to be a priority in the policy. When engaging in trade he would like to see the U.S. trade smarter. He also thinks that a greater emphasis on education will aid in the success of free trade.

  • Peak Politics: Resource Scarcity and Libertarian Political Culture in the United States
    Peak Politics: Resource Scarcity and Libertarian Political Culture in the United States A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Matthew Schneider-Mayerson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Elaine Tyler May, Adviser June 2013 © Matthew Schneider-Mayerson, 2013 Acknowledgements First and foremost, many thanks to the wonderful members of my committee, Elaine Tyler May, Lary May, Daniel J. Philippon, Kevin P. Murphy and David N. Pellow. Elaine and Lary were dedicated mentors throughout graduate school, even when they—and often I—had little idea exactly what I was studying, or why. Lary’s emphasis on the “so what” question reminded me that my research should always be relevant, while Elaine’s consistent support, insight, and warmth were invaluable. Their monthly dissertation group provided the kind of intellectual community that one seeks but rarely finds as one enters graduate school, and having regular take-out Chinese food made me, a Jew from New York City, feel right at home in the Midwest. Dan Philippon was a mentor in my environmental pursuits and provided generous feedback and advice on this and other projects that was incredibly thoughtful and detailed. David Pellow agreed to join at a late stage and always provoked me to consider new angles. Kevin Murphy guided my research into conservatism and masculinity and was a model of sustaining kindness and warmth. Thanks to the University of Minnesota for its financial support, especially in the form of a Graduate Student Fellowship my first year and a Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship this last year.
