Re: Every time you call Obama a Socialist...

Stevie,

Industrial democracy does exist in a pure form in the USA. Every
person or organization has the legal ability to buy stock.. When they
own enough they can do what they please with the company.

To force someone to give stock or ownership positions just because
they work in and around a particular industry or company is indeed a
socialist position of wealth redistribution.

Want money and power.... go to work and earn it. You have no "right"
to the fruits of "my" labor without paying for it.

Warning: New Synthetic Opiate "Krokodil" Rots Away Flesh

Eowyn | August 8, 2011 at 4:00 am | Tags: desomorphine, drug addiction, heroin addicts, Russia | Categories: crime, God's creation, Health Care, Just Plain Nuts | URL: http://wp.me/pKuKY-8xy

Russians are committing suicide via drug addiction. The country has more heroin users than any country in the world. Now, Russians are turning to a deadly synthetic opiate -- a desomorphine nicknamed "Krokodil" (crocodile) -- which they concoct in their kitchen sink.

No doubt Krokodil will soon arrive on America's shores, if it hasn't already.

H/t my friend Sol.

~Eowyn

A heroin user prepares the drug in Zhukovsky, near Moscow

Krokodil: The drug that eats junkies

A home-made heroin substitute is having a horrific effect on thousands of Russia's drug addicts

By Shaun Walker - UK's The Independent - June 22, 2011Oleg glances furtively around him and, confident that nobody is watching, slips inside the entrance to a decaying Soviet-era block of flats, where Sasha is waiting for him. Ensconced in the dingy kitchen of one of the apartments, they empty the contents of a blue carrier bag that Oleg has brought with him – painkillers, iodine, lighter fluid, industrial cleaning oil, and an array of vials, syringes, and cooking implements.

Half an hour later, after much boiling, distilling, mixing and shaking, what remains is a caramel-coloured gunge held in the end of a syringe, and the acrid smell of burnt iodine in the air. Sasha fixes a dirty needle to the syringe and looks for a vein in his bruised forearm. After some time, he finds a suitable place, and hands the syringe to Oleg, telling him to inject the fluid. He closes his eyes, and takes the hit.

Russia has more heroin users than any other country in the world – up to two million, according to unofficial estimates. For most, their lot is a life of crime, stints in prison, probable contraction of HIV and hepatitis C, and an early death. As efforts to stem the flow of Afghan heroin into Russia bring some limited success, and the street price of the drug goes up, for those addicts who can't afford their next hit, an even more terrifying spectre has raised its head.

The home-made drug that Oleg and Sasha inject is known as krokodil, or "crocodile". It is desomorphine, a synthetic opiate many times more powerful than heroin that is created from a complex chain of mixing and chemical reactions, which the addicts perform from memory several times a day. While heroin costs from £20 to £60 per dose, desomorphine can be "cooked" from codeine-based headache pills that cost £2 per pack, and other household ingredients available cheaply from the markets.

It is a drug for the poor, and its effects are horrific. It was given its reptilian name because its poisonous ingredients quickly turn the skin scaly. Worse follows. Oleg and Sasha have not been using for long, but Oleg has rotting sores on the back of his neck.

"If you miss the vein, that's an abscess straight away," says Sasha. Essentially, they are injecting poison directly into their flesh. One of their friends, in a neighbouring apartment block, is further down the line.

"She won't go to hospital, she just keeps injecting. Her flesh is falling off and she can hardly move anymore," says Sasha. Photographs of late-stage krokodil addicts are disturbing in the extreme. Flesh goes grey and peels away to leave bones exposed. People literally rot to death.

Russian heroin addicts first discovered how to make krokodil around four years ago, and there has been a steady rise in consumption, with a sudden peak in recent months. "Over the past five years, sales of codeine-based tablets have grown by dozens of times," says Viktor Ivanov, the head of Russia's Drug Control Agency. "It's pretty obvious that it's not because everyone has suddenly developed headaches."

Heroin addiction kills 30,000 people per year in Russia – a third of global deaths from the drug – but now there is the added problem of krokodil. Mr Ivanov recalled a recent visit to a drug-treatment centre in Western Siberia. "They told me that two years ago almost all their drug users used heroin," said the drugs tsar. "Now, more than half of them are on desomorphine."

He estimates that overall, around 5 per cent of Russian drug users are on krokodil and other home-made drugs, which works out at about 100,000 people. It's a huge, hidden epidemic – worse in the really isolated parts of Russia where supplies of heroin are patchy – but palpable even in cities such as Tver.

It has a population of half a million, and is a couple of hours by train from Moscow, en route to St Petersburg. Its city centre, sat on the River Volga, is lined with pretty, Tsarist-era buildings, but the suburbs are miserable. People sit on cracked wooden benches in a weed-infested "park", gulping cans of Jaguar, an alcoholic energy drink. In the background, there are rows of crumbling apartment blocks. The shops and restaurants of Moscow are a world away; for a treat, people take the bus to the McDonald's by the train station.

In the city's main drug treatment centre, Artyom Yegorov talks of the devastation that krokodil is causing. "Desomorphine causes the strongest levels of addiction, and is the hardest to cure," says the young doctor, sitting in a treatment room in the scruffy clinic, below a picture of Hugh Laurie as Dr House.

"With heroin withdrawal, the main symptoms last for five to 10 days. After that there is still a big danger of relapse but the physical pain will be gone. With krokodil, the pain can last up to a month, and it's unbearable. They have to be injected with extremely strong tranquilisers just to keep them from passing out from the pain."

Dr Yegorov says krokodil users are instantly identifiable because of their smell. "It's that smell of iodine that infuses all their clothes," he says. "There's no way to wash it out, all you can do is burn the clothes. Any flat that has been used as a krokodil cooking house is best forgotten about as a place to live. You'll never get that smell out of the flat."

Addicts in Tver say they never have any problems buying the key ingredient for krokodil – codeine pills, which are sold without prescription. "Once I was trying to buy four packs, and the woman told me they could only sell two to any one person," recalls one, with a laugh. "So I bought two packs, then came back five minutes later and bought another two. Other than that, they never refuse to sell it to us, even though they know what we're going to do with it." The solution, to many, is obvious: ban the sale of codeine tablets, or at least make them prescription-only. But despite the authorities being aware of the problem for well over a year, nothing has been done.

President Dmitry Medvedev has called for websites which explain how to make krokodil to be closed down, but he has not ordered the banning of the pills. Last month, a spokesman for the ministry of health said that there were plans to make codeine-based tablets available only on prescription, but that it was impossible to introduce the measure quickly. Opponents claim lobbying by pharmaceutical companies has caused the inaction.

"A year ago we said that we need to introduce prescriptions," says Mr Ivanov. "These tablets don't cost much but the profit margins are high. Some pharmacies make up to 25 per cent of their profits from the sale of these tablets. It's not in the interests of pharmaceutical companies or pharmacies themselves to stop this, so the government needs to use its power to regulate their sale."

In addition to krokodil, there are reports of drug users injecting other artificial mixes, and the latest street drug is tropicamide. Used as eye drops by ophthalmologists to dilate the pupils during eye examinations, Dr Yegorov says patients have no trouble getting hold of capsules of it for about £2 per vial. Injected, the drug has severe psychiatric effects and brings on suicidal feelings.

"Addicts are being sold drugs by normal Russian women working in pharmacies, who know exactly what they'll be used for," said Yevgeny Roizman, an anti-drugs activist who was one of the first to talk publicly about the krokodil issue earlier this year. "Selling them to boys the same age as their own sons. Russians are killing Russians."

Zhenya, quietly spoken and wearing dark glasses, agrees to tell his story while I sit in the back of his car in a lay-by on the outskirts of Tver. He managed to kick the habit, after spending weeks at a detox clinic ,experiencing horrendous withdrawal symptoms that included seizures, a 40-degree temperature and vomiting. He lost 14 teeth after his gums rotted away, and contracted hepatitis C.

But his fate is essentially a miraculous escape – after all, he's still alive. Zhenya is from a small town outside Tver, and was a heroin addict for a decade before he moved onto krokodil a year ago. Of the ten friends he started injecting heroin with a decade ago, seven are dead.

Unlike heroin, where the hit can last for several hours, a krokodil high only lasts between 90 minutes and two hours, says Zhenya. Given that the "cooking" process takes at least half an hour, being a krokodil addict is basically a full-time job.

"I remember one day, we cooked for three days straight," says one of Zhenya's friends. "You don't sleep much when you're on krokodil, as you need to wake up every couple of hours for another hit. At the time we were cooking it at our place, and loads of people came round and pitched in. For three days we just kept on making it. By the end, we all staggered out yellow, exhausted and stinking of iodine."

In Tver, most krokodil users inject the drug only when they run out of money for heroin. As soon as they earn or steal enough, they go back to heroin. In other more isolated regions of Russia, where heroin is more expensive and people are poorer, the problem is worse. People become full-time krokodil addicts, giving them a life expectancy of less than a year.

Zhenya says every single addict he knows in his town has moved from heroin to krokodil, because it's cheaper and easier to get hold of. "You can feel how disgusting it is when you're doing it," he recalls. "You're dreaming of heroin, of something that feels clean and not like poison. But you can't afford it, so you keep doing the krokodil. Until you die."

Ryan Seacrest, Bravo Create Imam 'Jersey Shore'

DETROIT (CAP) - Fresh off their announcement of a new reality show, Shahs Of Sunset, featuring wealthy, wayward Persian Americans in California, Ryan Seacrest and Bravo have announced that next year, they'll be moving the concept to the Midwest with a new demographic: Imam Americans.

The Real Housewives network announced this week that it was developing a show with Seacrest tentatively titled Imams Of Dearborn that will document Dearborn, Michigan's colorful Muslim cleric community.

"The series will offer rich characters and relatable storylines about everyday life - love, work, friendship, ritual prayers, fasting, making sure their wives' hair isn't showing - steeped in a diverse culture, which is wildly entertaining and fun," Seacrest said in a statement. "Except when it's misused as an excuse to justify Islamic terrorism, which is admittedly less fun."

Dearborn is home to as many as 30,000 people of Arab ancestry, many of whom attend the Islamic Center of America, North America's largest mosque. The area has also attracted hundreds of Imams, many more than there are congregations to accommodate them.

As a result, many of them spend their time hanging around the shores of Lake Erie lifting weights, having Qur'an recitation contests and whistling at women in burkas. It's this lifestyle the series hopes to capture, according to Bravo.

"Armed with flowing robes, scraggly beards and designer skullcaps, they've got it and they're not afraid to flaunt it," Bravo said in a statement, while adding that the group also "knows the value of family and tradition, especially if that tradition happens to involve multiple subservient wives."

"Also, watch the hilarity that ensues when they're taken off flights and strip searched at Detroit Metro Airport!" the statement continues.

According to Seacrest, the characters "The Testamentation" and "Burki" featured in promos for the show are played by actors, but that he was sure the actual clerics and their families would be just as colorful and interesting.

"And you can bet that we're going to do our darndest to find ones we can call The Testamentation and Burki," he added.

Critics are skeptical, noting the failure of the 2009 Rachael Ray vehicle So You Think You're A Terrorist and al Qaeda's 2010 declaration of responsibility for Jay Leno. "Muslims and TV just don't mix," said Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales, noting that the networks would be much wiser to do more shows based on Twitter feeds.

And some leaders in the Muslim community have also objected to the show's concept. "I think we can safely say that a depiction of Muslims, particularly Muslim clerics, as lakeside slacker party animals is not what America needs right now," said Rasoolullah Mohammed of the American Society of Muslims. "It's just as insulting and offensive as when Tiger Woods converted to Islam for the virgins."

Asked what he thought about Seacrest's other new idea for a show, Rabbis Of Miami Beach, in which Jewish Rabbis lift weights, have Torah recitation contests and cluck at women in yarmulkes, Mohammed responded, "Oh, heh - that one's pretty hilarious."

Re: Is Government Housing in Israel Being Turned Into Institutions?

Purple,

This building looks like any other building in the world that is
undergoing complete renovation.

Just what kind of pigs lived there that made this necessary ?? You, of
course and as usual, do not address this.

As to your reference to it being a "Dungeon" the video clearly showed
that the dark areas had no windows as would be expected in
"underground" areas or "stairwells".

As to the security measures and the "bars" on the superficie... given
the fact that the building was obviously inhabited by lowlife scum
that did not care for their abode and its common areas I would also
make the place as secure as possible if the same type of animal was
going to re-inhabit (proved by existing and recurring mail delivery).

Is Government Housing in Israel Being Turned Into Institutions?

…while the residents are still in them?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z5WOR7F4y4

Folks, you will NEVER see this in the mainstream media or even in
alternative media.

You are about to get a lesson about the real nature of "Zionism" that
will divest you of all your illusions.

The Hebrew word for "Zion" is pronounced Tzi'yon.

Zion is the crude Hebrew for penis. Just so you know what they are
really saying to us.

Politically Feasible

Mario Rizzo | August 8, 2011 at 11:00 am | Categories: Democracy, Economics, Ethics, political philosophy | URL: http://wp.me/pmseG-1eF

by Mario Rizzo

Many years ago, the distinguished economist, William H. Hutt, wrote a pamphlet called "Politically Impossible?" He argued that economists should not seek political relevance by proposing only those policies that they perceive as politically possible, practical or feasible. They should speak truth to power, so to say, and advocate those policies that they perceive to be in the "public interest." (Interestingly, it is often considered a key element of the economic rationality of agents to be able to distinguish the desirable from the feasible.) Read more of this post
