Astronaut Farmer

If you look at this week’s Majority Report you’ll notice prominent in the stories is one:

FREAK! Hollywood Distributes Decent Movie: Astronaut Farmer

There’s a reason for that, despite the fact that it includes the positive portrayal of rural US land holder employing a Mexican:

It is the first time Hollywood has portrayed NASA’s manned space program as, not only an ersatz substitute for the American Pioneer Spirit, but a pioneer-funded (via taxes on the Americans which the US Founders called “our posterity”) enemy of the American Pioneer Spirit.

“The Civil Rights Movement” had legs, the vigorous support of Hollywood and the vigorous support of academia, while the American Pioneer Spirit’s frontier was relegated to a dysfunctional bureaucracy continually complaining that not enough funding was available to deliver the promise.  This vicious betrayal of the American Pioneer Spirit is central to our time—since it was during the 1960s that the liberalizations we now decry were enacted at the same time it appeared there was a new frontier opening up.  The bottom line is Kennedy’s “New Frontier” was a con game to grab the land of the “posterity” of the founders of the US, on behalf of other interests—thereby rendering the government utterly without legal foundation.

There is a book to be written here but a movie that touches on the theme of the failed promise of JFK’s “New Frontier” is a major accomplishment, even if it is flawed in other ways and even if it comes 35 years too late.

This could not be an authentic James Bowery post without him somehow blaming the Jews.  What fraud is using the name James Bowery?

“who”, you don’t need to look very far to find the crucial role played by Jews during the betrayal of the American Pioneer.  You want me to spell it out for you?

“Civil rights” movement, aka removal of freedom of association from pioneer heritage Americans so they can’t have private territory or freedom of religion:
Civil Rights - Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism
Blacks and Jews Entangled, Edward S. Shapiro, First Things
50 years after integration case, Jews remember their crucial role, Chicago Jewish Community
What Went Wrong? The Creation and Collapse of the Black-Jewish Alliance


Jewish Involvement in Shaping American Immigration Policy, 1881-1965: A Historical Review leading to the 1965 policy of replacing the American pioneer stock of the US with foreign nationals not considered “our posterity” by the founders of the US—and doing so in such a way that not only is private territory denied to American pioneer stock but also the national boundaries are open to all in the world removing even freedom of national association—a premise of FDR’s nationalization of the trade union movement under The New Deal.

All of the above removed from “our posterity” “the blessings of liberty”.

is that it? sheesh, I knew about all that, I thought you were going to mention how Jews sabotaged the space shuttle program or caused the Columbia disaster or something. Civil rights are bad and all, but I thought you were referring to a more direct Jewish subterfuge of the great American pioneer venture into space. WERE the Jews out to get the space program, either by beaureaucratic strangulation or outright murderous sabotage? D:

what.
The space shuttle Challenger which blew up was the first attempt with a multicultural (multiracial) crew. Which racial group pushes the destructive Marxist ideology of multi-culti ?

The Jews, of course. So, the Chosen did, indeed, sabotage the Space Programme.

To the “Who”: Why the blaming of the Whites is considered to be normal critique and why the normal critique towards the jews is considered to be blaming?

Outside the U.S. Nasa’s space program was/is usually regarded as an excellent achievement of European Americans, detached from Kennedy’s and others’ liberal programs. Inside the U.S. the picture the of space program is more detailed and connected to the everyday life of the Americans.

“what”/“who” or “whatever”, of course that’s not all.  It is merely sufficient.

If you want to get into the failure of NASA to fulfill its promise of a “New Frontier” to the American Pioneer who was being served up on a silver platter via the “Civil Rights” movement:

Imagine a world in which the energy Jews put into promoting “Civil Rights” via media and academia not to mention political organizations like the ADL, ACLU and SPLC, had been directed to attacking, instead, the hypocrisy of fighting a cold war against communism with a government-owned, controlled and operated transportation system.

And I fail to see how you could have missed that was precisely my point.

Perhaps its related to your ability to see that the Apollo moon landings were faked.

Man space exploration is a waste of money.

Where I disagree with you is your view that goverment funded science programs have   and   always are been a disaster. This is empirically false.

The general pattern is this:high tech massively funded by the tax payers. When a large market comes into being. These tax payer funded technologies are than handed over to parasites such as Bill Gates.

This technology would never have gotten off the ground with out massive tax payey subsidies. Where would high tech be in Amrica without DARPA and the Nation Bureau of Standards.

I have no problem with free market principles being violated.

The reason why embryonic stem cell research in the US falling behind the rest of the world is because of the lack of federal subsidies into embryonic stem cell research.

This state of affairs has pissed of a lot of corporate CEO’s. Corprations won’t make the necessary investments into fundametal embryonic stem cell research. The CEOs expect the tax payers to fund it until it becomes a viable technology at which time they expect the govermet to turn the technology over to private tyrannies(corporations)

The research costs for the technologies that have made the US a technological giant have been very often if not always socialized. The profits of course are completely privatized.

My own view is that parasites such as Bill Gates sould not be allowed to accumualte such a vast amount wealth from technologies whose R&D was subsidized for decades by ordinary Americans.If Bill Gates doesn’t like this state of affairs, we can always give him a one ticket to Chad.

Frank McGuckin writes: Where I disagree with you is your view that goverment funded science programs have and always are been a disaster. This is empirically false.

No, you don’t disagree with me.  You simply misread me.

Read my testimony before Congress on the subject of incentives:

Mr. Chairman and Distinguished Members of the Subcommittee:

I am James Bowery, Chairman of the Coalition for Science and Commerce. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to address the subcommittee on the critical and historic topic of commercial incentives to open the space frontier.

The Coalition for Science and Commerce is a grassroots network of citizen activists supporting greater public funding for diversified scientific research and greater private funding for proprietary technology and services. We believe these are mutually reinforcing policies which have been violated to the detriment of civilization. We believe in the constitutional provision of patents of invention and that the principles of free enterprise pertain to intellectual property. We therefore see technology development as a private sector responsibility. We also recognize that scientific knowledge is our common heritage and is therefore a proper function of government. We oppose government programs that remove procurement authority from scientists, supposedly in service of them. Rather we support the inclusion, on a per-grant basis, of all funding needed to purchase the use of needed goods and services, thereby creating a scientist-driven market for commercial high technology and services. We also oppose government subsidy of technology development. Rather we support legislation and policies that motivate the intelligent investment of private risk capital in the creation of commercially viable intellectual property.

This was actually the start of a series of proposals that finally led to the funding of the X-Prize and its award to Burt Rutan.

Well, of course.  That’s precisely why the culmination of my legislative activism was a net asset tax white paper:

The government should tax net assets, in excess of levels
typically protected under personal bankruptcy, at a rate equal to
the rate of interest on the national debt, thereby eliminating
other forms of taxation. Creator-owned intellectual property
should be exempt.

The levels typically protected by personal bankruptcy can be
approximated by the median price of housing an individual added
to the median capitalization of a job in the economy. Together,
these exemptions add up to between $50,000 and $100,000.
Additional but smaller exemptions may be added to represent the
lower levels of bankruptcy protection typically extended to
children within families.

The NAT is a self-adjusting system that seeks an equilibrium
between government debt levels, current tax rates and private
wealth distribution, without attempting to achieve an outright
balanced budget or direct intervention in the economy.

Under current (1992) asset distribution and government debt the
NAT would generate between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion in
revenue, thus totally displacing other forms of taxation.
...
only assets whose existence is legally recorded in titles, insurance
documents, etc., or that are currently reported for capital gains
and losses would be individually assessed.  Since most households
own few major assets changing little from year to year, the NAT
would greatly simplify tax computation.

and

With the exception of basic functions of government and the pay
down of debt, the government budget should be dispersed to
citizens as cash, rather than being spent in government programs
or even limited in the form of vouchers.  This is “market
democracy” in which the citizens and their markets, rather than
central planning and politics, influence the selection of goods
and services to be capitalized and provided.

Ok James I probably did.

Here is something else. About these privatized adventures into outer space. Some of the characters who are part of this movement such as Benson just come across as utterly predatory creatures for whom the conquest of space is just another way to extend the size of their penises. I along with Harlan Ellison find this all very appalling.

I’d rather stay home and be hit with a massive meteor than be these free market space pioneer’s slave on one of their work colonies in space. I don’t trust these characters.

The key to freedom is self sufficiency.  This is usually more achievable on the frontier due to the necessities of isolation.  This is why I put forth the idea that the next stage of human evolution may be the heliocentric individual.

Ok genius I didn’t fail to see your point….

I wasn’t thinking of you at all…

I was just pointing out that I as well as you, didn’t think that government funded “space exploration” had done anything.

If you want to fight about whether or not the landings were faked, start a new thread.

Easy there tiger…. we’re on the same team…

James, if you liked the Astronaut Farmer, then you will absolutely LOVE 300 by Frank Miller.  A lot of Jews must have been suckered into financing it because it has a Persian (Iranian) enemy, but it is secretly an argument against multi-culturalism.

I just saw it and that was my thought also.

At the line where King Leonidas said to Xerxes’s invitation to enjoy the multiculturalism of the Persian Empire:

“We’ve been sharing our culture with you today.”

(referring to the Spartans slaughtering the slave army of the Persians) my wife’s operatic diaphragm filled the theater with the musical laughter of Valkyries.

Kuro5hin trolls them and grows them. Best you be wearing a helmet because you are going to get bashed at Kuro5hin.

Even the Ultra-Liberals use illegal immigrants as slave labor, though they refuse to admit it. Some of the Democratic Presidential Candidates employ illegals to work on their campaigns and make phone calls to raise money, clean their offices, count money, and do other tasks they themselves refuse to do.

The current law is not broken, it is just not really enforced. Since it is a civil and not a criminal law, Police stations refuse to do anything about it until they commit a crime or something. For misdemeanors they don’t report the illegal, but for felonies sometimes they do report them.

No bill need be passed, just make temporary L1 Visas for farms and the food industry to hire people from Mexico under a L1 Visa that allows them to be paid under minimum wage as long as they get food, shelter, clothing, etc paid for by the employer. That way the farmers get their cheap labor, the Mexican immigrants become legal and are no longer slaves, the people upset about illegals crossing the border won’t have anything to get upset over as they would be legals now, and the L1 Visa workers will get taxed and it will pay for public and social services so the people upset over economic conditions would be happy as well.
