The following is from PEARL HARBOR CHRISTMAS, A World At War, December 1941 written by Stanley Weintraub.



In PEARL HARBOR CHRISTMAS the following was noted; Corporations (1%) wanted "guaranteed' profits" or immediate conversion to wartime production would not occur. The war effort would be damaged. The unions (99%) wanted guarantees that their right to organize & the union ability to discourage non union workers from being hired would be upheld. Radical union people in places like San Francisco & Australia were adamant. While thousands of brave soldiers, marines & sailors perished in places like Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore & Wake Island, Australian union thugs would not load or offload ships unless their demands were met. Less we forget the ego maniacs in government who wanted their peachy positions preserved. Looks like 2012 to me.



During the Vietnam War, whatever your opinion of that waste of precious resources, Harry Bridges, a longshoreman on the West Coast, an Australian Communist, stopped the loading of war materials on to ships. There is a not so mysterious link between unions & 'The Internationale". Connect the dots.



Unions, corporations, Republicans, Democrats, etc. none of these people realized the terror that awaited the world in the form of Imperial Nippon or The Third Reich. If 'we' lost the game would be over. America is in this position again & the people with power are more about preserving their power than what is good for America.



Global terrorism is a logical extension of the "great twilight struggle" that we have been engaged since 1945. When you see unions, corporations & partisan politicians change their tone then you will know we have turned the corner & our survival is guaranteed.



The struggle seems more important that the results. America is locked into a struggle mind set. This mind set will bring US down if we do not mend our ways.

The Paradigm Shift

To those who care about such things, the silence of the media about the extraordinary events around Ron Paul's campaign is deafening.

Some see conspiracy. I don't. I see the expected reaction to a paradigm shift -- a complete change in the concepts we use to make sense of our politics and culture.

An excellent illustration of the power of a "paradigm" is the Perceptions of Incongruity experiment that was conducted at Harvard in 1949.

In this experiment, subjects were shown playing cards and asked to call out what they saw. They would consistently identify the cards correctly. After a while, however, the experimenters would slip in "incongruous cards" in which the colors red and black were switched, such as black hearts or diamonds and red clubs or spades.

What did the subjects see when shown those incongruous cards? They did not see the incongruous cards, but normal playing cards -- the cards they were expecting to see, without noticing the incongruity. For example, when shown a black six of hearts, they might call out simply "six of hearts" or "six of spades" -- neither of which was correct. The subjects didn't misunderstand or misinterpret anything -- they actually misperceived something according to the paradigm in which they were operating -- in this case, "the playing card paradigm," comprising everything they already knew (wrongly) about the cards they were looking at.

Subjects continued to fail to notice the incongruous cards. Eventually, they would exhibit a physiological reaction of discomfort, knowing that something was wrong, but not being conscious of what. Only when they had been forced to look at many incongruous cards for very long times did they "get" what was going on and see what they were looking at. Suddenly, they realized that "the playing card paradigm" did not apply. They finally knew that reality included non-traditional cards. They thus adopted a new paradigm (that included black hearts etc.), and thereafter saw what was in front of their eyes.
