Same old crap... different day, different country.

Better Red than Fed
From Joe at No Pasaran

At the heart of the Bailadila Hills in central India lie 1.1 billion tons of raw ore so pure and plentiful that half a century after miners first hacked at it with pickaxes, it remains the richest, and one of the largest, iron deposits on the planet.
Enter the spoiler.
Yet on this quiet June day, cobwebs hang on rusted pipes in the all-but-abandoned facility, Bloomberg Markets magazine reports in its September 2010 issue. Caretakers prepare to switch truck-size rock crushers out of their coma, rousing the machines for five minutes a month to ensure they still work.

Maoist rebels from the surrounding Dandakaranya forest armed with guns and explosives -- and some wielding axes and bows and arrows -- attacked the facility four times in little more than a year, officials at the now-mothballed plant say. They burned 54 trucks waiting at factory gates in April 2008 and damaged part of the slurry pipeline, the world’s second longest, in June 2009. Essar idled the plant that month.
One constant of the universe seems to be that Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-whateversseem to enjoy their destructive revolutionary fervor more than their any affection that they have for “the proletariat”. In fact “the good of the people” seems more like a distant, ignorable abstraction to them more than they are to those of any other belief system.
Maoist-related violence killed a record 998 people last year as assaults on economic targets reached an all-time high, according to Ministry of Home Affairs data.

A Mumbai-bound train derailed in May, killing at least 146 people, after what police suspect was sabotage by a Maoist group. More than 200 security officers died in attacks in the first six months of 2010.
More specious still, for them to say that they were “sucked into the conflict” blithely ignores the fact that the Maoists are the ones who created it.

Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-what-ever's seem to enjoy their destructive revolutionary fervor more than their any affection that they have for “the proletariat”.

This explains why we are where we are as a country, with the first Kenyan and his Maoist friends in high places. They are enjoying the mayhem that is being inflicted on the average American, who they look at with distaste, and could care less about. But to our supposed betters, I say this;

The Bill Clinton 1999 Serbian Rules of Engagement, making a corrupt media and other intellectual supporters of tyranny legitimate targets of war is still in effect.

Keep pushing. And if elections in November do not happen, or are tampered with, my guess is that all bets are off. As horrible as that sounds, there is getting to be too many people with too much to lose, or nothing left to lose to continue on the destructive course the Marxist elite and интеллигенция, (intelligentsia) have set for us...especially if they throw off the mask and reveal the true Marxist idealog lurking underneath. With all the horror and death that has come with Communism, such as Mao's cultural revolution or the Cambodian killing fields.

Ut sementem feceris ita metes

Over the top? Maybe. Better fore warned than forsaken.
