Pray for peace -- at home and abroad
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer letters, December 31 2008
By Sharon Morris
The Israelis continue to bomb the Gaza Strip after being attacked by rockets from the Palestinians. The Palestinians continue to retaliate with more rockets.
How frustrated are we with this news? How helpless do we feel in the face of it? We often respond by just blocking it out. We don't stop to pray or think deeply about these people. Why not? It is just too painful. We don't seem to have answers. We have to distract our minds from the horrible reality.
But if we would stop, think and pray, we just might make a decision to bring more peace into the world by giving up our own grudges toward a son or daughter who has disappointed us, or a husband who has neglected us, or a wife who has been critical toward us.
We still have to work at getting wrongs righted, bad policies changed and bad politicians or rulers ousted. We still need to raise our children to be the next generation's heroes who will save us from self-destruction. Let's remember to make our small world close to home a model worthy to be imitated.

Re.: South American trade meetings.
All overviews about free trade should begin with a disclaimer.
Free trade is not trade as historically defined or practiced. Free trade today is based on moving production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor. Factories are in essence portable and mobile ready to be moved again and again seeking the lowest levels of labor costs.
Now we have economies based on making money on money instead of making things burning out. There was no real tangible value behind the many money products. In the end it is only printed images on paper called money. This money has to be manipulated in transactions to grow a value.
Today, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank had more printed and added a trillion dollars to a money on money economy that is burning out.
This will only cause more inflation.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke actually provided a solution to this mess when he told Congress the best way to stimulate the economy with stimulus money is to buy "domestically produced goods". This tells the whole story of our problems in a nutshell.
Only local value added economies work where there are several levels of added value from raw product to the end user or retail levels. This has to happen in balance geopolitical settings where populations have grown with entitlements on hand. The overhead was woven into the particular geopolitical settings.
When free trade came, this overhead was attacked as something bad and not good. Competition took over by cutting out this overhead leaving behind burn out communities.
In South America, we have a new type of Socialism more based on a Populist front to rescue what was lost and to gain a better life for the multitude. This Socialism can go either way depending on the way, outside powers play their game.
The U.S. most likely will drive it to the far left because of America is hooked on taking advantage of the underclass to make their goods. ( Consumerism is the driving force behind so called free trade. However, the working poor class in the USA is now finding it more difficult to even afford the cheaper imports at places like Walmart. )
For more , visit our sites. We are an advocate for workers dignity knowing that workers and labor ultimately are one of the real tangible values and assets left in the world and for the sake of human dignity in the work day and for a more practical way to save economies, we need to do everything to upgrade this value.

Big Government marries Big Money. Human Nature in crisis
In college, as a history major, I had to spend a semester writing
history. I was assigned the topic of New Harmony which was a
communitarian work community during the 1800s. The bible passage of all
sharing as one in community has haunted us for centuries. It still does.
I did not like the topic but my professor insisted that I do it while
the rest of the class were allowed to choose their topic. The biblical description of the first Christians sharing all things in common is an unending study. The application of it throughout history was either a failure or ended in things like Communism that did more harm than good centering on this ideal.
In his book, The Age of Turbulence, Alan Greenspan picked New Harmony as
an example of why the free market is better than utopian experiments. He
tied human nature to economics saying the so called free market is best
at accomodating human nature. He went into New Harmony extensively but
left things out of his book that I thought were more important. He did
not discuss the free enterprise system. The term free enterprise was not even in the
index of his book. He never discussed the Lend Lease program which I
thought was very significant in evaluating free trade in our times. He
minimized the success of the Marshall Plan that helped restore local
economies in Europe and Asia after World War 2 based on the U.S. awesome
industrial might. The absense of these examples and his emphasis on a
small communtarian work community experiment confused me. After the
current money crisis, he told Congress that he was surprised the
financial communities did not police themselves as if human nature was
supposed to do this in his free market global economic arena.
Apparently, human nature did not behave the way Alan Greenspan expected
in the free market. Conservatives and Liberatarians also tend to think
human nature will work unfair things out in the global economic arena.
Now it is quite evident, human nature has worked the other way around.
The financial markets and the stock market are now subsidized and they
can no longer talk above the crowd. They are on a charity roll like
everyone else. They can not longer look you straight in the eyes and
ask - I worked hard to attain the things I have, why don't you have
yours? All are now subsidized. Human nature has been tested and failed
to pass the test of greed and money. Human dignity has been sacrificed
on the altar of greed and not much is said about it.
On the other end of things, a friend tells me that it is only human
nature to seek the lowest price for anything. This means consumerism is
in a contest with workers dignity. There should be a debate but there is
none. Apparently, both shoppers and investors do their thing without
reviewing the human conditions behind their transactions. The discussion
of human nature is also left out of the picture. In the end we have a
trade deficit that is the equivalent of about $50,000 for every family
in America to buy a home and this directly is now part of the money
crisis. Still little is said about the trade deficit and free trade as
being a part of our current financial storm. One person's loss is a win
for another person. Is this human nature? When will the debate begin?
When will the news outlets report it this as an important background story
behind the financial storms of our times.

The money crisis opens more doors in exploring the common good. Many things that were accepted as good are now bad. Prior to the crisis, many thought there was nothing bad about the stock market and the investment community. Alan Greenspan told Congress he was surprised that the investment community failed at policing its own activities. He seem to say that human nature would kick in and some how take out all the bad things.
In my series of reviews of Alan Greenspan's book The Age of Turbulence, I noted his seemingly fixation of a communitary workers community - New Harmony. See - Greenspan from the trenches Alan Greenspan put aside the moral fog that surround ethics in the business world and spent an unusual amount of time, downgrading the New Harmony workers community experiment in the 1800s. He tells about the community strife that caused the failure of New Harmony but community strife is normal in any small community attempt to live out the Bible. The world continues to be haunted by the early Christians living in close community sharing all with each other. It seems, Greenspan uses his synopsis of a small communitarian economic failure as his way of defending greed. Apparently, he plugs in greed as a part of human nature with his version of the free market being able to control greed from getting out of hand.
During the last twenty years, greed did get out of hand with an economy based on making money on money instead of making things. Money products took over at the expense of production, labor and workers. Workers value was deflated. We did have DEFLATION when it came to the workday. The stock market called the firing of milions of workers and the creation of a new working poor class as an increase in productiviyt. It should have been called the deflation of the value of work. In the first phase of free trade and globalization, we traded away our farms. Many farmers lost their farms and their entire life savings. Clearly, free trade failed the farmers and vast valuable asset was lost in the USA. All the money products related to this degradation, hid the problem for awhile. Now we see what happens when we hide from real values that support the common good for the whole of society.
Next came the factories. Production was discounted. More than 400,000 workers related to the auto industry lost their jobs during the 1980s and early 1990s due to unfair trade and the moving of factories outside the USA. Next came the steel mills with more than 700,000 workers related to the steel industry, losing their jobs. This was about 20 years ago too.
These losses were ignored in the economy converting to money products. In the late 1980s and in the 1990s, more than a million workers lost their jobs in the computer industry. Who would think the the USA would spend decades developing high technology only to give it away to those who did not invest anything in Research and Development. It is nonsensical to have taxpayer pay for Research and Dev. and then move the production phase outside the USA. In the end we have taxpayers not only shopping their way out of their jobs but also being taxed out of their production jobs too.
A friend always tells me that it is human nature to shop for the cheapest price without being concerned about the conditions behind the cheaper prices. Is it human nature? Greenspan seemed to think it was but somehow, things in the end work out because competition includes evolving towards what is better rather than what is worst. Now we see, what a false understanding of human nature can bring us. It has ended in a financial meltdown. With the financial markets now being subsidized by government. No longer can anyone who has alot of money say they are not living off the poor. No longer can a stock market talking head expert discuss stock market values without knowing who is ultimately paying the toll.
Only labor and workers have real tangible value and are the real asset in any economy. Everthing else flows from that. The money products ultimately are based on that value and for some reason, powerful forces in government, the media, the academic world and vast transnational corporation chose to radically discount the value of work. They took tariffs off products and put them on workers.
Workers are the main commodities being traded in the global econmic arena. They are put on a global block to compete for the same jobs down to the lowest levels of wage slave and even child labor. Now it has backfired. The financial community has now moved up to the front line in this radical assault on the dignity of workers and the common good.
Now we have a new kind of Socialist Capitalist system where the bill collectors getting bailed out my the debtors. The debtors paid and paid with many gong bankrupt paying usury rates of interest charged by even main stream banks.

Who is your Daddy Now !

Who's your Daddy now? - with the fall of the Economic House of Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Greenspan in the 2008 Money Crisis
We have written about this for a long time starting in 1992 when we read our first article about the Maquiladora factory program in Mexico using impoverished workers. The most striking part of the article was about this being a policy of the U.S. Government since 1956. We are putting up our Who's your Daddy now ? - post on all our blogs because it all pertains to Bizarre Politics and Government, Philosophy and Religion and Personality, Character and Self-Improvement in the global economic arena

The 2008 Money Crisis was predicted - During the 1990s, Chuck Harder and top economists told the world that the Trade Deficit was the equivalent of a $50,000 home for all familes in the USA - It is ironic how this became an obvious reality in the home mortage market today. This value represents what was lost due to Globalism and Free Trade
............................. ............................. ............................. ............................. .........................
The current 2008 Money Crisis was predictable. The Free Enterprise system was exchanged for Money on Money system. Many money products were manipulated wtih the value of the money having no foundation on anything tangible. Workers and labor were the last real tangible value but this was discounted to make way for the money products. Human Dignity failed under this attack. Free Trade proved to be a Pearl Harbor attack on workers.
We were quoted in top newspaper about this. We said an economy that is based on making money on money instead of making things has burn out. The Economic House of Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Greenspan has crashed. And we now ask - Who's your Daddy now ?
President Jimmy Carter was the last President of the USA who tried to make the Free Enterprise system work. I did not find Alan Greenspan using this term in this book The Age of Turbulence. The term Free Enterprise was not even in the index of his book. President Reagan shuffled parts of the economy with a new economic policies which were later described as a "trickle down economy". He also led the way in the destruction of unions. There were arrogant unions but still, all workers , union and non-union workers were better off when the private sector unions were strong.
Elite grouping in government, education, media and massive trans-national corporations took over. They introduced a new "ism" which was not announced as such with Globalism. All of a sudden, there was a new global economic arena where all workers had to compete for the same jobs. With labor being the only real variable that could be devalued for the sake of a special class making money on money instead of making things. Tariffs were taken off imported products and put on workers instead.
This new "ism" gathered in all the old "isms" of Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Totalitarianism etc under one economic umbrella and was branded as the new Global Economy. Workers were fired for the sake of stock values. It was branded as an increase in productivity for the sake of the stock market.
Free Trade which is not really trade as historically defined and practiced took over.
A new concept replaced the old meaning of trade. It included the moving of factories and production from place to place for the sake of cheaper and cheaper labor- the only real tangible asset left. It was obvious that this lost value would eventually catch up with the money on money manipulations. The Globalists even went as far as to state that the Trade Deficit that kept breaking records was actually a good thing even though this value was not transformed to any other value but it ended up the Trade Deficit being a vast economic hole that was endless.
( Who's your Daddy now? to be continued in next post - is he a new kind of Socialist Capitalist Daddy just for the upper class - are workers still their "stepchildren" without equal ranking in the family? As we noted on other posts, there was a time in Rome when it was better to be a slave than a "freeman". Is this happening now where the lower classes pay for the bail out of the elite money people ? )

It is time to explore the common good again due to the 2008 financial money crisis. By Ray Tapajna, Editor and Artist at Tapart News and Art that Talks
It is time to find out why big money is being bailed out while millions who have lost every thing in the past several years are paying the bill.
The House of Bush, Clinton and Greespan has fallen
The House of Bush, Clinton and Greenspan has fallen.
All the concepts of an economy based on making money on money instead of making things is burning out. The money crisis represents the facturing of the common good. We have explored the common good in several other posts trying to find the core of it to make it a real object of everything we do. We all need to try harder to dig out the substance of its meaning and apply to the society we live in. Too much is at stake to ignore it any longer.
As we are finding out the greatest good for the greatest number is dwindling down to a very few elite groups at the expense of the rest of the population. The big money bail out represents this vividly. We have now moved into a new untested area of Capitalistic Socialism for the rich and the investment community.
In reviewing Alan Greenspan's book The Age of Turbulence at Bizarre Politics, we showed Greenspan being far removed for the realities of the streets in the USA and the free enterprise system itself. See Greenspan dancing in the dark. We wrote the series of reviews before the 2008 Money Crisis exploded. We showed how the crisis was a predictable course of events. When an economy is based on making money on money instead of making things, it eventually burns out.
The free enterprise system should be a simple process where the value of products, workers and labor come together to support the common good of a whole society and not just for a few. Alan Greenspan now admits, he made a mistake thinking the financial communities could police themselves.Bigger still, he made the mistake about human nature in general. The current predatory Capitalists have taken over the so called free market where no one is really free but the money changers and they are parasites playing off each other and the working poor. It is time for the common good to break through. We now have a news kind of Capitalistic Socialism for just a few.
The Liberals must stop their quasi secular religion and get on task for finding solutions for the whole of society. The Liberals have fractured the common good this way.
The Conservatives must put their money where their mouth is and start making sure a trickle down economy can work or else get real about an economy for the whole of society. They have fractured the common good this way. Idealism starts with how workers are treated for the sake of investments.

A Real Dig !
Excavating Liberalism for the sake of the Common Good
The old philosopher called it bonum honestum - seeking good for its own sake -
Liberalism tends to divide the Common Good. The aim of society can not be just a collection of individual goods. It is a collection of interactions by its members for the benefit of the whole and not just the parts. A mere collection of individual goods dissolves the purpose of gathering together in a society.
Society exists to maintain the freedom of each of its members but not at the expense of the weakest links. The common good rests on this. It is about a people more than about persons. It is about freedom under a moral code applied to all. It is about a multitude of persons but the common good is also not based on opinion or what is the most popular interactions. The common good has to define the reasons for life which have to be in sync with all that is intrinsically good. The common good has to insure the good as layed down by nature, laws, tradition, philosophy, sociology and religion or else particular evils take command.
A single human soul is more worth than the whole universe of bodies and material goods. There is nothing beyond the human soul, except God , the Creator. In this way society exists for each person and is subordinated to it for the sake of all in the society.
Persons are destined to surpass the low-water mark of any society and not take it in as the will of the people. The will of the people has to correspond the ulimate good.
The common good can be disrupted if the will of the people is faulty and the social body turns to errors of the collectivists who disregard private property ( and private property includes work and labor ) or turning over their rights to a elite governing body which can turn into totalitarianism. ( In the days of Rome, it was better to be a slave than a freeman because, of the will of the more powerful and greedy ruling class - much like it is today. With Globalism and Free Trade, work and labor as private property is being violated.)
The common good is thing ethically good. The human person is a material being who is born with many weaknesses as a finite being. We are full of needs and limited in many ways. Seneca said, " Every time I have been amongst men, I have returned a diminished man."
Liberalism approaches this problem with a good acceptance of the frailities of man but neglects to hunt down the core of these weaknesses and is too willing to accept them as the only reality.
Each of us must ask ourselves as persons and as members of a society what is the lowest water mark of our society and how can I surpass it.

----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------
" The modern world is not evil;" says G. L. Chesterson, "in some ways the modern world is far too good. It is full of wild and wasted virtues......The modern world is full of old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone."
----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------
Christian tradition presented many of these virtues throughout history. Liberalism hooks on to them and drives them in many directions. Many say the church has to adapt to modern times and they set doctrinal decrees aside. Religion, truth and justice must be maintained by doctrinal decrees or else things begin to bang against each other without distinguishing between good and evil elements. Liberty is an ancient concept and not something new. Liberals like to think they have latch onto something new but the plain truth does not change. Truth needs backup. It needs a fixed rule of teaching what is to be done and what is to be left undone .
The truth of ages tells us we are finite and limited beings and the perfectibility of human nature under its own power is impossible. We have free will to choose our way in life but without divine help, we are left to roam the surface of truth without ever grasping it. Our wills were created to reach for absolute truth and not for anything lesser than that.
The fundamental doctrine of Rationalism is the supremacy of human reason. Human reason on its own is destined to failure. Liberals in the modern world refuses to accept things outside their own reason. There is no divine authority to guide their way. This leads to a never ending loop for truth to surface in individual choices. When a man decides he is subject to no one, it follows that community is a very difficult thing to form. In the process, the state is put in place to govern all the different choices and as we see today these choices conflict with one another in a world of fragmentation. And when the state trys to centralize all units , the good comes but at the same time, the bad that was decentralized according to individual choices are collected into a powerful force that collides with truth.
We should consider freedom of speech and the press but these can not be rights because of so many contradictions in the process. Truth is not something indifferent and can not depend on just opinions and polling. How can there be a common good come out of this . There can only be particular goods which compete with one another.
Only tension and protest follows with people using the term the common good and changing it to being uncommon in practice. In economics, so called conservatives today following a liberal interpretation of almost everything for the sake of greed.
(Extra note: The 2008 financial crisis is caused by the fracturing of the free enterprise system and smashing our economy into pieces sending the parts around the world. An economy based on making money on money instead of making things is burning out. )

By Ray Tapajna, Editor and Artist at Tapart News and Art that Talks. Based in part by Father McQuade writings
There is a core through history covering almost every scenario of life. Yet, with Liberalism, there is a tendency to dwell on the dynamics of the present times and ignore the past. The experience of millions who have gone before us dealing with what is right and what iswrong is ignored. Liberalism tends to abide by rules manifested in the dynamics of public opinion in a short version of time and ignoring the core of judgements based on proven parameters in the past. Today we also have so called conservatives who have also thrown out the history books provoking pre-emptive wars.
When you tell a liberal that the U.S. Constitution derives from the Bible, they usually deny this. It is difficult to find out what liberal standards are and what they are based on. The U.S. Constitution is based on English law which is based on Magna Charta which was ultimately based on Bible teachings which became universal outside the box of religion. (There are many standards today that flow from relgion but are have migrated outside the box of religion.) For example the phrase - do unto others as you would have them do to you is a practical exercise for any culture or society. Human Dignity in the workday also stems from religion precepts.d
In 1215, King John of England was forced by English barons to form traditional guarantees of certain civil and political liberties based on the Magan Charta. No longer could Kings and Queens have absolute power. However, absolute civil sovereignty with the implied rights of people to make their own laws in entire independence of other criterion than the popular will expressed in polls and congressional majorities can become an absolute power in itself. In our times totalitarianism was fashioned from a liberal interpretation between the two extremes above. Facist Nazi philosophy holds as a self-evident truth that men are not all born equal, that they have no right to life or liberty, and the pursuit ofhappiness is under the rule of a self-appointed dictator. Liberal allow this as an freedom of expression.
In more recent times the right to life of the unborn does not fall under any category or order to things. The freedom of choice is isolated to the those who have the most power over those with less. In religion, Liberalism has no place for a God to shows us the way. Liberals may maintain that God does have a plan for for all of us but only men and popular opinion can mold what God's intentions are. The source of faith depends on whatever a group says it is no matter how small the group may be and no matter how the idealogy differs from group to group. A liberal will say there are no absolutes not knowing they are making an absolute in the statement itself. Thus the norms and standards in politics,economics or religion are left to splinter into uncontrollable pieces in a sea of contradictions.
In economics, during the present money crisis in the U.S. we see a majority of liberals calling for a bail out of big money agents where profit is enjoyed at the expense of small money and workers. On the other hand we have conservatives that do not want to government in any way control big money . Neither side has concluded that profit at the expense of a society has taken over with free trade and globalization driving the priority of profit over well being of societies. The general good for all in a society is secondary when it should be a priority over the profit motive.
Workers have property - this property is based on the work of their hands and apparently Liberalism infects both sides of current liberal and conservative politicians in the favor of profit over the rights of workers and even small business who fail to compete in a society where making money on money instead of making things dominate the business culture. We have production being moved from place to place based on the cheapest labor markets of the world with few questioning the process. Liberalism may mature someday but without a central core through history, it will be very difficult. There is a natural law that can tell us what priorities to follow and standards to set up universally over and above popular opinion. Polling does not accomplish this. If we do not want search out these universals , many will find the paths will be overwhelmed by the dark side of life as evident in the acceptance of torture being a necessary tool in the present wars.

By Ray Tapajna, Editor and Artist at Tapart News and Art that Talks based on notes from course by Father McQuade SJ JCU
President Roosevelt with very good intentions announced the Four Freedoms in 1941 in his State of the Union Message to Congress. It all sounded good but we have to ask ourselves if it is reasonable and just for all in society.
President Roosevelt said , we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is Freedom of Speech and Expression everywhere in the world. This implys the freedom of speech exists without responsiblity for what one says.
The world is painted with many colors many different cultural and philosophical settings. There is no such thing as one size fits all. The freedom of speech in one place does not necessarily fit in to the patterns of another place. The fact that we have ratings for adult entertainment and parental guidance in the USA proves that there is not total Freedom of Speech and Expression and someone has to make a judgement call about responsibility. If this responsibility is sorted out by the initial concept of freedom of speech by interpretations of a select group is limited from the start. If the best informed control speech and expression, we are back where we started. If the best informed lock out what they do not consider a right kind of freedom, it becomes a contradiction from the start. The key to responsiblity come from proven norms, traditions and heritages. Liberalism starts at a different place. The freedom of speech and expression are according to a vaque standard by an elitism governing its definition. There is a tendency to junk the disciplines of the past.
The second freedom sounds very good. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world. This denys the concept that there is only one way in which God wishes to be worship To leave out God and what He wants is another contradiction of worship, So, again Liberalism is selective about who fits in the definition or worship in the liberal concept of freedom.
Freedom from Want is the third freedom and sounds very good too. There is very little to challenged here but when we see liberals labeling Free Trade as a way of doing it , we see a corrupted system trying to fill this freedom with many contradictions . The people in most want are the people used to grow and make the products for those who have less of a want. In our times we witnessed subsisted living farmers losing their farms. We see farmers who need to grow poppies instead of food inorder to survive. Liberals should ask how is this all happening and be the first to experience these injustices but only few have.
The fourth freedom is freedom from fear. This comes down to limiting nations to commit an act of physical aggression against others in the world. It is obvious, that the USA is the largest manufacturer and distributor of military gear in the world. And liberals are still part of the game of war with even the best of them not knowing how to stop wars based on their understanding of what freedom is.
In trying to judge what is best and how to fit things together, liberals tend to reject the past norms, traditions and practices of history instead of abstracting the good from the bad. The Constitution of the USA is even questioned as being an adequate standard. Liberals tend to interpret the Consitution according to the temporary modes of the times and deluting its power to govern justly in a balanced form. Liberals tend to deny that the USA Consitution evolved from English law which evolved from the Magna Carta which constituted a fundamental guarantee of rights and priveleges as flowing from God to man and not man to God.
Even God is put outside looking in at the adventures of Liberalism . It is no wonder that so many milions in the world are still outside looking in at the celebration of Liberalism because God is left outside looking in too.
