“The Americans” Starring Keri Russell portrays KGB agents at their best
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
As an American born Russian speaker with parents from the Soviet Union, the cold war was personal on many levels. When Mikhail Gorbachev visited New York in 1988 the teacher gave us a geography lesson, she pointed out that there were two super powers, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Then she said that in the U.S. people speak English, and what language did people speak in the Soviet Union, Russian was the answer. The ironic thing of course was that the amnesty Russian Jews got was the same sort of amnesty that Cubans get today if they escape Cuba, or south Koreans get if they escape the North, it is given for propaganda purposes, the deal is you come to the U.S. and you trash the Soviet Union and tell people how bad communism is, this way the left in the capitalist country is weakened and the liberals made to look bad for sympathizing with social justice causes such as economic equality.
The Ronald Reagan administration was a great nightmare for Soviet leaders. After the KGB had achieved tremendous political victories in the Western hemisphere such as in Cuba and Grenada as well as in the United States where the civil rights movement led to many changes especially under the leadership of Dr. King, it was now becoming clear to the Russians that the American leadership was willing to adapt and accept reforms even if it meant advancing the causes of social justice itself but temporarily in order to appeal to Soviet citizens to show them that capitalism and communism can co-exist in the same country. The changes that were made through the supreme court were never viewed as permanent changes by the U.S. regime. Soviet leaders now understood that they were in trouble, they understood that without Soviet expansion communism as it stood was doomed because all American leaders had to do was rotate their ideology by changing the leader and the party, all stops were pulled out to demoralize the Russian people and alienate them from their leadership, and it worked. This demoralization is also portrayed well in this show on FX.
All Soviet attempts at expansion had failed, whether they be in Afghanistan or even in established communist countries, it was clear that without the collapse and submission of the U.S. it would be impossible to establish a communist world order as Soviet leaders had promised and hoped would happen by the 21st century. In countries like Grenada and Cuba as well as all over the world KGB agents played a pivotal role in infiltrating social justice organizations and helping them finance their movements even without their knowledge. This approach worked in the United States as well but as soon as leaders like Dr. King began to preach economic equality they themselves would be assassinated and the cause always seemed to die with them.
In this show we finally get to see a positive portrayal of some of the last Russian KGB agents and their doomed cause, a cause for a superpower whose leaders themselves were already giving up on. Unlike the anti-communist propaganda movies made during the cold war such as Rocky 4 and Rambo in which the Russians were portrayed as representatives of an evil empire as Reagan described them, here we get to look at it from the perspective of them being if not the good guys then the moral equivalents of the CIA and the American regime, and that is refreshing, but of course too little too late.

Alex Jones takes on Piers Morgan
Comment: This is part of the show, Alex Jones is being portrayed as the only crazy 9/11 guy. Would CNN ever put on someone that supports the 2nd amendment but from an independent Communist perspective, nope they would never put such a person on. It is my opinion that Alex Jones and Rand Paul types would do worse massacres then our current government if they were given the chance. There are no good sides but the information is probably accurate.
The reason why American communists whether they be the Communist Party USA which relies heavily on China or Caleb Maupin and the International Action Center which have been exposed by Humans of New York for relying on Iran, have the views they have is because anyone that wants a revolution can only envision it with the help of a foreign military power. The views they hold are politically aligned with the aspirations of those foreign imperial powers. No one is expecting the American people to actually start thinking themselves and use either pacifist methods to strike or at least make an ideological separation from the current government. That is a sad commentary but it is the truth. The Second Amendment should not be any different constitutionally speaking then any other amendment, if the Communists and the Democrats want to repeal it then they must also talk of repealing and addressing all the other causes of negativity in our current society, in which case they would end up having to repeal and replace the entire constitution. The truth however is that they don't want to solve the problem, instead in this case Jones is correct that they see people like him as a threat, this is nothing new they have come out with reports about right wing anti-government groups as a threat and they want to take away their guns. Once again this entire debate is not about the public but about a corrupt government going after a fringe group of people, however on the issue of the NRA and gun rights it is true that there is no reason to disarm the public in fact Jones should be challenged from the left and asked if he supports the idea of everyone having mandatory training and given firearms. If we want the second amendment and citizens to really be free, then why isn't Jones calling for the distribution of guns to every single person as well as training in how to use them?

The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) and Fred Phelps
They are only as serious as you make them
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
The church group that is known for protesting military families funerals and blaming gays for all the perils of society is now further isolating itself from rational Americans by planning to picket the families funerals at Sandy Hook. The question then arises, what is this groups purpose, why would they do things that appeal to basically no one. Well actually they are praising the shooters, stating that all the shooters are messengers from god, hence they purposefully want to appeal to people who are angry about many things, many times justifiably so. They want to get people who society has deemed mentally ill, to the WBC they are the kind of people who they see potentially as fanatical followers of their cult.
For people who actually believe in god, the interesting thing about this line of reasoning is that deep down inside they might agree with some of that sentiment, which is why we will see some very hypocritical people become very vocal protesters with regards to the WBC, that hypocrisy will further drive potential violent shooter types to join a group like WBC. There are clear ideological and non emotional opponents of the WBC as well but they come from the left, or atheistic and secular activists who protest them because it is expected of them to do so. Yet the one’s who will act out violently against the WBC in an effort to prove that they are completely the opposite of the WBC will be other Christians. These mainstream Christians and just average apolitical people will be doing so because they need to prove a point either to themselves or to others, they act out on emotions that are buried deep inside of them, this is exactly what the WBC wants to happen in order to prove their point to potential shooters that they are somehow non hypocritical and pure in their thinking as opposed to these hypocritical people who might actually agree with some of the stuff that Phelps says but who would attack him violently in order to hide their true emotions, in an odd way it is similar to homophobia.
A rational person who might walk by a WBC protest would firstly agree that these people are crazy, and possibly dangerous psychopaths. However, as long as they are protesting in pens and surrounded by police a normal person might chuckle at them and be on his way, yet with the media amplifying this event it is surely bound to give the WBC new relevance and publicity as some sort of rebellious opposing force, but on the bright side it looks like the WBC will get very little media coverage and will remain irrelevant, at least for now.
The WBC knows the risks involved in these protests that they stage, in fact they are counting on incidents happening at these events, they want to become representative of the rebels, the people who are outcasts, hence why they so vocally defend the shooters. Yet, if we look at what Phelps has said over the years, we find that firstly he says whatever he needs to say to suit his fascistic political ambitions. He is an old man now but he is committed to his cause because he gets emotions out of people and is able to make people hate him, it takes a lot of energy to hate a person, even more to hate a whole group of people, this is the energy that Phelps thrives on and that is why he is going to Connecticut, to make his church thrive on this negative energy so that he can turn it around and make it work for him.

Roman Shusterman for Mayor of New York City 2013
Platform: Unisex Showers at New York Sports Clubs (NYSC) - A continuation of Bloomberg’s war on Obesity.
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
The fact that Mayor Michael Bloomberg decided to leave a legacy of fighting obesity in New York City is very important, we need to build on this during the next administration. The only way to really expand on the Mayor’s health conscious legacy is to completely solve the obesity problem by revolutionizing our culture, we need to have an incentive to stay in shape.
After the Hurricane, many victims did not have a place to shower, the NYSC owner stated that for a few weeks in November the club would let victims of Hurricane Sandy use its showers. Using the showers at NYSC, gives one the opportunity to recognize why more people do not get in shape. Firstly, the sports clubs should be nationalized, this would lower the health costs of many, but mainly unisex showers should be the new norm. No need to worry about rape, police officers would be guarding the showers, of course they would also be nude and have only their guns strapped around their waist, each shower room should include officers of both sexes.
The state should encourage consensual sexual behavior in the showers as part of the work-out experience. This is a platform that must be adopted by the next Mayor of New York City in order to ensure that there is a peaceful transition to a new communal way of life, if it is done through the administration of the city it could happen very peacefully and prevent any altercations with the police, if this will not happen through the city administration then the battle will have to be waged in the streets, this might include nude face sitting as well as other perverse sexual acts.

Israel vs. Palestine - Don’t fall for it
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
Modern Israel by the standards of today’s world should be praised and respected. This is a country that is surrounded by government’s and people who agree on one thing, and that is the annihilation of Israel. However, for some reason unlike any other country, whenever we hear about Israel acting out as any country with a government that has imperial aspirations especially with their current governing coalition, we see all the other imperial powers denouncing it and siding with people who normally are called the enemy of the modern world. The imperial powers and the activists like Ron Paul supporters become overnight communists with concern for the little guy, or are they dreaming once again of a time when they could scapegoat Jews because of the biblical significance and the fact that religious text can justify their persecution.
The world is a very dangerous and violent place, someone is going to have to face the blame when the people are going to wake up. As we saw in Obama’s re-election the majority is waking up, and they are blaming the American rich, the rich can’t allow for that to happen. History has shown that whenever the white western ruling class was threatened economically by the majority of their own poor they always chose to pass the blame onto their religious minority who they put in charge of finances, that was always the Jews. Now that Israel is a country, the western powers constantly give the go ahead for their proxy groups which are located in what is called the Palestinian territories. These are terrorist groups such as Hamas and even the secular so-called socialist groups which sprang out of Arafat’s movement such as Islamic Jihad…etc. who also embrace violence for the purpose of annihilating Israel. Terrorists don’t mind attacks on the civilian population as it creates more sympathy and then they can easily portray the evil Jews as the culprits. Of course in the past it was harder to do this because there was no Israel but Jewish influence in the economy was itself enough to create such an evil scapegoat, today there is no telling what kind of future persecution Jews will have to face as a result of this war between Israel and the Arabs, Egypt will very soon be dragged into this as well. It is important to take note for future reference, that after the Second World War the west was still afraid to impose stiff penalties on German civilians, and as a people the Germans did not suffer any extra persecution due to their embrace of Adolf Hitler during their war against the world. This will be an important fact to keep in mind after all is said and done with regard to Israel’s and their people’s actions.
The problem with small imperial states is that they have to be a cohesive unit in order to win, the question then arises is Israel cohesive enough, with all the divisiveness in the current Jewish state, whether on class issues or animosity between the Jewish sects it is hard to say, some say that war brings all the people together and they become a cohesive unit, maybe this is a way to keep the state together in the eyes of the Jewish leadership. Now that the United States is distracted by the disaster from the Hurricane, Israel is making it’s move with the hopes of a quick victory or a sweep over Palestine, Egypt, and Iran.
If Israel achieves victory it will become a major power, maybe even rival some of the superpowers. The problem with Israel’s victory and it’s ideology as a state is a similar problem that Nazi Germany had although to a lesser extent as of the moment. Their ideology although it is inclusive on paper in it’s current form, is threatened by this war. This war might make it extremely hard if not impossible not just for Israel’s remaining Arabs but even for non-religious or atheistic Jews to live in a state that slides into theocracy. The Netanyahu coalition is composed of very conservative elements, politics will move further to the right and empower these extreme nationalists who believe in world domination with an iron fist as opposed to the current liberal democratic model inspired by the west. There are no good sides in this war, therefore taking passionate stands for one side or the other is complete folly and the activists who pressure you to do so are themselves prone to violence and will be future terrorists for one side or the other.

Occupy Wall Street steps up to the plate on Hurricane Relief
Republican Party Establishment suffers crushing defeat
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
In the accounts of the members of Occupy Wall Street as well as some mainstream news outlets including Bloomberg news, the Times blog and others, the Occupy Movement has been inspirational to say the least in it’s relief efforts. There should be no doubt in people’s minds that this is a movement that is full of young people who are the future, people who are inspired and motivated not by personal profit or greed but by human potential. This new generation is willing to work for the ideals of democracy which they believe are the cornerstone of the fight for social justice in the tradition of Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. as well as many others who were willing to give their lives for the greater good of the public, especially the poor.
The country yesterday stumped all of the political pundits, according to all previous historic predictions, as well as the predictions of right wing gurus like Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney was going to walk away with a landslide victory last night. Instead President Obama, the first black president walked away not only with a second term but with a commanding victory in the electoral college and in all of the swing states where it was said that the right wing had a foothold. Now even the far-right pundits like Limbaugh and Hannity are conceding that the American people have consciously decided to make the United States a center left country, yet this vote should only be seen as the beginning.
The American people will gain a new respect for the Occupy Wall Street movement, when the President is pressured by the far-right to concede and to initiate a series of cuts or austerity measures in order to placate wall street, the American people will rise up and Occupy Wall Street will morph into a real political force, at this point this fact cannot be doubted. We are no longer a center-right country, the only answer for the right wing which is finally being conceded by their own leaders is that they have to have a new approach, to them this means that they have to become better and more crafty liars in the tradition of the old far-right. This of course means that they will have people like Sarah Palin take center stage and run openly as far-right Tea Party candidates. It is always better to have honest political dialogue, however, our main concern should not be with the far-right but with the left’s ability to create a real alternative to the Democratic Party just as the far-right is now talking of splitting with the Republican Party and running Tea Party candidates under their own banner instead.
The American people must fully embrace the democratic process initiated by Occupy Wall Street, this is the only way that the population will become politicized en masse and also gain the class consciousness necessary to make the decision to transform not just America but the world into a real heaven on earth. Currently we are still in darkness, in the case of New York this is literal, but with this election and a clear victory against the current Republicans we have entered a new era in politics, our country will never be the same again.

Hurricane Sandy, Rush Limbaugh, and Chris Christie
Impact on the elections
By Roman Shusterman
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
While the Bush administration was in charge, the media and liberals in general paid attention to things that Rush Limbaugh said, the reason being that Limbaugh was in many ways appealing to the same base of voters that the Republicans and the President appealed to, hence Bush relied on at least passive support from Limbaugh who is clearly a talk show heavyweight. On the other hand the competition for ideological purity on the far-right is real, competing for the spoils of their current victory over the 99%.
As Limbaugh stated yesterday, Chris Christie is the only leader on the east coast who invited and praised President Obama, while Bloomberg and others turned down Obama's offers to tour and visit the destruction areas as Bush did during Katrina. Christie put himself above politics in his answers to the media when they asked him if this would help Obama especially since previously Christie has been a vocal Romney supporter. It is becoming clear now that Christie is a master politician, he never expected Romney to win, his endorsement of Romney was pure political maneuvering. Now that Christie invited Obama and is doing many photo-ops with the President, he is also winning support from independents and liberals. It is no secret that Christie has Presidential aspiriations for the future, now there can be no doubt about this fact at all.
Limbaugh's criticism of Christie is not coming from the positive correct place but it is accurate. Christie is not sufficiently right-wing enough for Limbaugh, yet the fact is actually Christie is not just right-wing but probably in many ways even more so then Limbaugh just not in the way Limbaugh would prefer in terms of the old-right, Christie is more like a cross between Bush and Bloomberg, sort of a combination of the worst of the worst. Someone might not think it to be possible to take the worst aspects of a liberal and the worst aspects of a conservative and combine them, well that would turn out to be Christie.
All of this is threatening to someone like Limbaugh because part of being a liberal/conservative in the modern sence is that it could threaten the indepdent political power brokers like Limbaugh, and so he doesn't trust Christie who is opposed to a turbulent movement on the right, in essence he is clearly an oligarch possibly an American Putin. We can expect to see Chrstie run in 2016 and receive massive liberal as well as moderate and conservative support, this has been planned for in advance.

A Vote for Romney is a Vote for a Police State
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
During the final debate the phrase that Romney kept repeating was “the Road to Greece.” This is of course in reference to the rioting that is occurring in Greece till this day due to the forced austerity measures. This political instability in Greece has caused normally placated citizens of a welfare state to in some numbers either vote for or sympathize with a political party that has a Nazi Swastika in their official logo and calls their leader Der Fuhrer, which is German for leader of the party. The Party which refers to itself as the Golden Dawn is sending a clear signal that it seeks to imitate the principles of a National Socialist platform instituted by Hitler’s party. In order to make their point they have opened up several offices in cities around the world specifically to give charity only for Greeks so as to instill a concept of superiority in Greeks abroad as well as at home. The culprit of the economic turmoil in Greece according to the Golden Dawn as well as many members of the still in tact far-right in the U.S. are none other then the usual suspects according to Hitlerian philosophy, these include minorities/immigrants, Jews (especially bankers and left wing types), Unions, and Socialists/Communists.
The philosopher Karl Marx once discovered that the laws of capitalist development dictate their own terms independent of what any state leaders would like. It is because of Marx’s discoveries that anyone with access to books and a computer can now predict and see what’s coming on the road ahead. People are of course more interested in wearing rose colored glasses and praying for the better, but this is not what history has shown to work, in fact this is what led the Germans to embrace Hitler who was once on the fringe. The only way for a solution and a path forward is for regular citizens to take conscious actions, to stop going along with business as usual, in essence to organize a national strike. This strike can not be a no purpose strike such as the one attempted to be organized by Occupy Wall Street. The reason their strike didn't pan out is because they want to strike for what “democracy”? Democracy is what has led us into this mess, the freedom for the masses who don’t want to make decisions or who are too exploited and busy with taking orders to decide, all they want is proper and responsible leadership that is independent of any businesses or state , but according to the American left this is too much to ask since they fear that a single leader can easily be singled out by the state and assassinated as happened many times in the 1960’s.
One of the reasons that the 1960’s were not a time for radical transformation was because the nation was still finding itself, at this point we are as far as we will get from our discovery, we have a first black president that the majority of Americans accept, now let’s move forward because if we pick Romney we will not just be moving backward but we will in good measure face the risk of at least temporarily erasing many of the gains we made during the 1960’s.

President Obama held his own last night, but will it be enough
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
Last night the President showed us some of that spark that got him elected in 2008. The only thing missing was the enthusiasm of being the first black President as well as the endless possibilities for America’s future transformation into a more social democratic welfare state similar to Europe and Canada. A major plank of the 2008 campaign was the fight for national single-payer health care, the argument being that all civilized western democracies including Canada, which Romney seemed to love mentioning at every step with regard to their low taxes, has a nationalized single payer health care system where no one has to deal with any insurance bureaucracy and everyone is guaranteed the same quality health coverage regardless of their income. Yet, since we are now more desperate economically, it is implied that we should be grateful that the liberal candidate is at least fighting to maintain the status quo.
In some ways the voters who voted for Obama should be satisfied, the President is not solely to blame for the lack of a more vigorous progressive reform agenda, in the end it is our liberal democratic system of government that is to blame. Since the days of Fraklin Delano Roosevelt, safeguards in order to prevent any liberal President from instituting the types of programs that could gain him independent support and more importantly the love and loyalty of the public have become harder to implement due to the organization of the 1% and their political dominance and monopoly on the official channels of power.
Last night President Obama said that if some of his promises were not kept, it’s not for lack of trying. It is important to note that in this regard Obama is correct, the conspiracies that surround his presidency and the claims made against him with regard to him being dictatorial or somehow against the people, are false. President Obama is simply the best that our system can currently produce. He put himself in this position because he wanted to be the first black president, he tried to go further but he was stopped dead in his tracks by many factors, one of which includes racism and the perception that whites have of blacks and their abilities. Obama is a gifted politician but he never claimed to be a revolutionary, only a politician that will work within the system, people who voted for him and expected a revolution now know that this is not possible.
The solution to the problem which manifests itself, that being the lack of a voice for the 99%, now can only come from an outside force, a new third party. It will be up to the regime to decide whether they want to allow for a third party to participate in the political process or whether they will crack down and stamp out any legal opportunity for a third party, we saw in the case of Occupy Wall Street which way the regime is predicted to go, and this is even with an inefficient group without any organized leadership.

Joe Biden reassures undecided voters of Democrats resolve and firm grip on power
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.group.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
The first blow aimed at the Republicans came from Bill Clinton, a former president and a white male centrist Democrat. This Clinton speech a few weeks ago gave the Obama campaign a needed boost. After that Obama lost the debate, he looked weak because according to his advisers the worst thing for him, is to be portrayed by the Republicans as an aggressive black male and fit a certain stereotype that whites have of blacks. Fear is a powerful motivator either to vote or not to vote for someone, and one thing that the Obama advisers want to ensure is that the majority of whites do not fear Obama, and so during the debate with Romney, Obama looked passive in order to stay away from the black stereotype of an aggressive black man.
Bill Clinton gave a powerful speech, the problem is that contrary to what the pundits think, the American people actually prefer a left of center democrat at the moment. The American people want someone with convictions and beliefs, not someone that they feel will cater to wall street, Clinton did not come off as that someone. On the other hand Joe Biden whether he was sincere or not, (since he can’t be too sincere because he is only the Vice President and although he has influence he cannot initiate policy shifts on his own, although he did so on gay marriage, which was highly unusual for a vice president to do but he got away with it and made the Obama administration play catch-up) led the American people to believe that he was really the one at the heart of this Administration and the Party. When Clinton attempted this he carried the day after the convention speech, but most pundits will agree that Biden’s performance last night will have a more lasting impact, unless of course Obama really steps in it at the next debate.
Bill Clinton is old news, the American people were for the most part left unsatisfied by his tenure in office, yes there were better opportunities for some in Clinton’s economy but many things worsened as well such as the social safety net which now more people have come to need and rely on. Clinton therefore, cannot be at the heart of the Democratic Party which claims to represent the 99%, Obama is attempting to be the black version of Clinton, he is a moderate Democrat who is only rhetorically left of center due to the fact that we are in hard economic times and he has to sound a populist tone in order to even be on the political map of the Democratic Party. On the other hand picking Biden as a Vice Presidential candidate was a very smart move because Biden is a left of center Democrat in his convictions not just in his rhetoric, can’t we feel the difference between someone who is genuinely upset with the way things are when we hear Biden debate as opposed to someone like Clinton and Obama who can make a nice left of center speech but who in practicality really doesn't feel the rhetoric in his bones.
The American people, contrary to what Occupy Wall Street thinks or the Democratic Party thinks, want a Democrat with a firm hand, and at the moment they will only trust someone from their party who is a white male and is unapologetically left of center, someone who will take on wall street with authority and not second guess his own power as the leader of the country. We noticed that during the past few years popular figures who could have fit the profile have been taken out of the picture by the mainstream media who were clearly rooting for Paul Ryan last night. John Edwards, Anthony Weiner, and Dennis Kucinich are no longer contending even though now their message is more relevant then ever before, so we have to settle for Joe Biden as Vice President instead, basically this is the best the country has to offer the 99%. Should we take it? Well the system doesn't give us any other option in terms of voting, this is why voting should be the least important political activity we participate in as it is the least effective in creating any positive changes or bettering our circumstances, and this is not even to mention the foreign policy issues in which all candidates even Biden are status quo with full support toward the idea of maintaining the American empire in it’s current form which breeds terrorism and poverty worldwide.

Romney is “Winning.”
Thanks again Charlie Sheen for helping us understand the debates
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
Leave it up to a comedian to help us understand the political psychology of capitalism in America today. When Charlie Sheen started using the term “winning” to describe his relationship/battle with CBS he introduced an interesting concept to the everyday lexicon of middle America. Sheen was being told to leave the show “two in a half men” because of his recurring drug use, during the debacle Sheen fought back by saying that he tested negative for any drugs. In his attempt to get the American people on his side he started using the term “winning” to describe his relationship and ongoing battle with his bosses. The term became popularized because Sheen was able to get the average American to relate to his struggle, he was being told what to do by his boss, and instead of backing down he was fighting back, in fact he was even “winning." Of course Sheen was the underdog in the fight from the outset, yet his audacity to challenge his boss in the press is what won him respect from average Americans. Americans knew he was a flawed figure who really might not have been winning, yet his willingness to take on the boss got him some popular support, people started buying t-shirts with his face on it with the word winning emblazoned underneath.
Extending our logic of “Winning” to the political process, let’s look at this psychology from reverse. Political pollsters and average citizens after all might appreciate siding with a comedian in a battle with his bosses, but when it comes to politicians, everyone wants to really side with the candidate that appears to be “Winning”. We witnessed the debate, a debate where the entire analysis of it was based not on any facts about either candidates positions on the issues, but instead on their demeanor, or performance as actors on a stage. This is totally based on Charlie Sheen’s concept of “Winning”. Who appears to look better or stronger on stage and who sounds more confident. Of course in the case of a comedian who is already a millionaire and who can afford to jerk around this wasn't so tragic, but when the logic of “winning” that is used by a comedian is the same logic that is being used by the media and voters to decide the direction of the country, that can lead to tragedy.
If we take a walk to Times Square and look closely at the Naked Cowboy’s trunks, we will notice that they say Mitt on the front and Romney on the back. What would posses a small time celebrity to wear such trunks in the middle of a liberal city, firstly, the idea that he is the underdog somehow because he has the courage to voice unpopular views in a liberal city, second because he is confident due to the coverage of the debate that it is acceptable to support the Romney/Ryan ticket. Hence the media’s coverage of the debates and the constant drumbeat that Romney looked better and appeared to be winning, has propelled Romney/Ryan to the position of being acceptable and mainstream candidates. Never mind the outlandish theories and positions behind these candidates, instead let’s accept them because the press says they look legit.
A few days ago a Philadelphia student took the cue from this media coverage, and decided to do some political agitation of her own by wearing a Romney shirt to her Philadelphia classroom. When her teacher kicked her out and said that she might as well have wore a KKK shirt, we heard the story in the press and said wow what a brave poor girl, just like when we see the Naked Cowboy we might say “wow he must have courage.”
We must remember that just because someone appears to be the underdog, doesn't mean they are. Adolf Hitler once again is a case in point, he was arrested and at one time also played the victim/hero card while he was preaching about racial purity and scapegoating unpopular ethnic groups and political ideologies. He knew that certain people (opportunists) would side with the “winner” especially if they were made into the underdog and were given a false cultivated image by the establishment so as to prepare them for popular support and a victory. This girl in Philadelphia and the Naked Cowboy believe they are so smart, they are smarter then everyone else because they know the political landscape and they want to come out on top when the new order comes into place, but what they don’t realize is that this kind of order that they are supporting will have a very short existence, and when all is said and done they will not feel like winners at all.

Disaffection with American Two-Party regime presents one last opportunity for Fart Smeller Movement to overthrow capitalism in 2012.
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
It is the political season whether many of us like it or not. Taking a glimpse into the past two previous election cycles, we saw the optimism in the electorate in 2008 where the Democrats ran a campaign based on Hope. In 2004 there was a new born radicalism especially in New York City where the free speech speak out and the No Police State Coalition made brief headlines from Union Square Park, and where the seeds were sown for the brief Occupy Wall Street uprising centered in NYC in 2011.
In the past several months the mood of the country has sank to a very low level. There was renewed hope during the summer months that maybe somehow Occupy Wall Street would make a comeback and inspire the 99% into political activism and hence the rejection of the regime’s parties and their propaganda of capitalism as the only model for human civilization. There are attempts being made to go back to the days before occupy, or to pretend that nothing happened, since the idea is that it’s better to imagine that something never existed as opposed to acknowledging any form of defeat or admitting criticism.
However, the good news is that although there was brief coverage of the Fart Smeller Movement at Occupy Wall Street, the fact remains that this is still an independent movement with no real national coverage especially in the United States. The general assembly refused to allow for freedom of expression and in fact for the most part Occupy rejected this movement as too extreme, maybe it was all for the better since now occupy is no longer inspiring for the 99% and the Fart Smeller Movement can make it’s move with the proper organization and support. Overthrowing capitalist civilization will take extreme measures, but it’s not impossible contrary to popular opinion. In fact it can happen completely peacefully with enough dedication and proper leadership.
Once the election of 2012 is over anything may happen, in fact there is talk of an Israeli invasion of Jordan in order to protect the king, such an invasion could impact the American elections since Romney could easily portray himself as a supporter of Israel while Obama would openly attack Israel, this would solidify Romney’s victory. A victory for Mitt Romney could spark a complete war with Iran and Russia which would herald in a catastrophic war that could involve nuclear weapons. Needless to say in terms of political movements that would shift the capitalist model of civilization, the time is now or never.
One thing is certain, any political movement that will rise out of violence will not bring down capitalism in America or anywhere else, in fact it can be argued that the legacy of Occupy Wall Street as it stands today will be at best forgotten as worst cursed for generations to come.

Russian Feminists cause World Stir, but to what effect
Lech Walesa turns the tables on Putin, now calls for the release of Pussy Riot
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
There is a reason why the so-called popularity of the previous centuries’ anti-communist leaders who helped bring down the Soviet Union has “waned” within their own countries. The reason is very simple, the people of Poland as well as the former East Germany and Yugoslavia have gotten a taste of the post-communist paradise that was promised by the likes of Walesa and company. Basically the United States made a deal with the dissidents of these countries, the deal being as in the case of Gorbachev as well was that if they helped bring down the hard liners, the true believers in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, that the United States will provide exile, cash, and any form of necessary assistance that will guarantee the good life to anyone who took part. In the case of Gorbachev for instance who could not hide in any of the Soviet territories, he was simply given celebrity status in the United States where he has resided ever since.
As in the case of Gorbachev, Walesa makes a lot of his money abroad by giving speeches and making himself out to be a part of history, a figure that helped return capitalist civilization to a forgotten godless world ruled by communism. Of course all of these leaders could not openly approve of the current regimes in all of their respective countries because in order for them to bring down communism they had to deceive their own people, they didn’t go around saying that they were actually going to bring down communism, instead they advocated for a form of humanitarian socialism, similar to what this blog does, except in their case it was just a mask in order to create an opening for the CIA and company to come in and impose dictatorial capitalist dictatorships loyal to the United States as opposed to Russia, and also to eventually conquer Russia.
The question that can be asked today is what are the motivations behind someone like Walesa in his support of a genuine feminist revolutionary punk band that is clearly anti-capitalist. Was Walesa never really working with the Americans in the sense that he really believed that somehow Poland and the rest of the post communist countries would be better off and create a true paradise after the collapse of the Party. This is possible, maybe the leaders that helped bring about the end of communism who were mostly liberal socialists, were not desiring capitalism and believed that ultimately there will come a time like we are approaching today when a global movement for change will unite the East and West and create a world revolution that will truly be humanitarian and just.
On the other hand it is easy to be cynical as well and assume that this is all somehow a plot against Russia and that Walesa is once again being used by the American intelligence agencies in order to create an opening so as to weaken the Putin presidency even further then it is now so as to support unrest and the collapse of Russia as a remaining power center outside of the United States and Western Europe.

Institutionalized Free Love is the only solution to the violence that plagues us
Encroaching Totalitarianism in the Wake of Occupy Wall Street
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
The ongoing debate at many of the meetings of Occupiers is around the idea of confrontational politics, well as we have seen since the eviction of the protesters at the height of the movement, the cops have not softened their approach. The silly notion that the type of people’s army can be organized as in the new Batman movie, only contributes to the media’s willingness to attack the now defunct and defeated OWS. The United States is a global empire, it is not some third world country where leftist Marxist and anarchist groups can appeal to the masses as if the Soviet Union still existed and in some cases convince their people that this is the case and that the U.S. , China, and Russia are still in some sort of cold war. We have to come to the recognition that ideologically Marxism as it was constituted during the 20th century and thereby the anarchist left has suffered an ideological defeat, this latest defeat in the form of OWS was the last straw in the casket of the 20th century left.
Now that we have come to this resolution, we must not feel bad about this passing era. Yes there were a lot of great achievements in the third world and the understanding of individual freedoms and rights, but now it is time for all of humanity to unite under the type of leadership that would not strive for the ideal at some future date, but that would put the ultimatum to the regimes of our time. The time for perfection is now. The time for the ideal utopia is today. The younger generations are being drugged with psychotic medications at an early age, this is done by the older generations and the regime in a desperate attempt to preserve their own rule. When they see acts of violence that young people commit they use that as an excuse to color all young people as being incapable of leading themselves and making a better world.
As was recently shown with the case of the Colorado shooter, the media tried to cover up the fact that it was the psychiatric medications that he was on since an early age that contributed to his outbursts. This means that all the children who are being put on these medications are being prepped to go on massive shooting sprees when economic times get harder and they can’t handle the pressure. Yet, the wholesome approach of humanitarian socialism can stop these occurrences, getting the voice of this blog into the mainstream press is the only solution to the problem of violence which will only grow as these youths mature and continue to worsen psychologically due to the fact that the medications prevent them from facing the true enemy, capitalism and thereby social isolation.
The sexual activism initiated in 2010 and 2011 and which continues today on behalf of this blog needs active participation, bold action on behalf of the younger generation is needed to change the moral landscape of society. The times call for the unification of all men and women, in such times there can be no debate or hesitation, a small group is all that is needed in the beginning, the 99% will give the support needed once they recognize who is truly changing the face of civilization.

Condi Rice causes Harriet Tubman to turn in her grave
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
The current possibility of Condoleezza Rice as a Vice Presidential nominee on the Republican ticket should be a major concern for the left in this country. The people who share much of the blame are the proponents of civil rights who have made the public perceive the movement not as an overall movement for justice and human rights but as solely a racial movement, which by implication means the advancement of one racial group over another, hence the recent spike in membership of white power groups who feel threatened by this trend. The struggle to end slavery was as much of a struggle for human rights in general as it was to end slavery, it was a battle for the advancement of all human civilization, of course the people most effected by the cruel system were the African slaves, but all of humanity is impacted by such institutions. Similarly modern capitalism, a form of slavery is part of this overall struggle, in the eyes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as well as rebelling slaves themselves such as Tubman, the white masters were effected by the system because even the one’s who wanted to do good by the slaves faced repercussions such as the possibility of arrest or execution, just as was the case in Nazi Germany with regard to people who helped Jews. Very similar parallels can be drawn to the underground railroad days which led up to the civil war.
It is easy to make comparisons to Nazi Germany because that is the most advertised and glamorized historical moment, it is played in movies and constantly portrayed on television, hence the American people are most familiarized with that regime as the symbol of all evil. It is however important to remember that the Nazis had various systems in place throughout their empire, while they denounced blacks as savages on the one hand, on the other hand in parts of France the Nazis allowed for powerful black figures to remain in power. Blacks were not the main opponents of the Nazis ideologically and that is simply a fact. The attempt of the right to claim that Romney could never be like Hitler because Condoleezza Rice is his VP, is of course window dressing, the plans of the Republican Party remain as mentioned in the previous article, that is to continue the Bush agenda and accompany it with the installment of a totalitarian regime that would ban all protests from the left and from unions. Anyone who holds their nose and votes for Romney because we will have the “first black woman VP“, is only lying to themselves.
In any case this is not yet set in stone, however, the Republicans would make a very smart political move by choosing Rice, in order to attract women and blacks to the Party. Rice is of course a shrewd political actor, an expert in socialist and communist demagoguery herself as she studied Russian and communism as part of her main curriculum. Making herself useful to a bunch of fascists is a sign that she is a complete sociopath, someone who has no regard or concern for human beings, as well as the legacy of the African civil rights movement. The best moment of the Bush regime with regard to describing Condi’s character is when she was seen shopping for shoes as blacks were abandoned in New Orleans by the administration during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Black leaders would be smart to denounce Rice as soon as possible and make it clear that she does not represent them and that her ideas are more in tune with that of the oppressors throughout history.

Vice President Joe Biden rightly refers to Mitt Romney as “Bush on Steroids.”
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
Selecting a Vice Presidential running mate for President Obama in 2008 had to reflect the image of a center left candidacy which Obama ran during that period. Unlike Obama who did not have much of a record in politics, Biden had a clear center, possibly even close to a center left image in many ways similar to John Edwards or Anthony Weiner before their “sex scandals.” In any case he was more center then left but at times Biden says off the cuff comments that are right on point. The Obama Administration does not like this aspect of Biden but they have to deal with it because getting rid of him would cause more of a controversy then the comments themselves.
The recent attempts to somehow lesson Biden’s influence, such as the media’s reporting of Osama Bin Laden’s supposed plans to assassinate President Obama because Biden was so unprepared to be President, have failed. However, now because these plans have failed it is possible that the regimes’ preferred candidate and vice presidential nominees will be the Republican Party’s as they are completely controllable and not prone to any emotional off the cuff statements as is the case with Biden. Any sign of division within a regime is seen as weakness by the population, according to totalitarian regimes such as the Nazis, this is why there was never any contradictory statements to Hitler in the Nazi press, and if there were such statements they were made in order to belittle his liberal opponents, whatever remained of them, and provide the false image to the German people that Hitler was benevolent and allowed for freedom of expression on the domestic level. Sound familiar? Maybe not yet, but the guarantee provided by Biden, saying that Romney would be Bush on steroids, providing that many on the left felt that Bush resembled Hitler in many ways, it is safe to say that Romney would more closely fit the bill.
The recent reporting of the purchase of a Mercedes that belonged to Hitler, was interesting, the radio mentioned the late dictator’s name while the mainstream television press has refrained from showing Hitler footage on the screen during a broadcast. The demagoguery of the period of the late 1930’s in Germany on behalf of the far-right there is becoming almost indistinguishable to the current demagoguery of our own far-right, is it possible that some of the liberal broadcasters themselves might catch on and realize that their own days in the news business are numbered.
Of course what many in the liberal press and intelligentsia don’t realize is that a totalitarian regime requires that media broadcasters are completely obedient and never prone to any emotional or off the cuff statements as in the case of Biden. Starting new military conflicts with the remaining “Axis of Evil” members as Bush put it would require complete media obedience, no more occupy or peace rallies as in the case of the Bush era since this new regime would mean all out war, likely, engulfing the entire globe.
A fascist regime that is at war with the world can be taken down domestically or by foreign intervention, however, in the case of our current global networks and internet connections it is possible that the effort of the global left in the form of the Occupy movement will have a resurgence, but as we have seen in the case of Occupy Wall Street, the left and the intelligentsia are prone to the same fascistic concepts of controlling the population once in power and preventing true revolutionary alternatives from seeing the light of day. However, due to the fact that the population will be left with no visible alternative as they have all been censored by the established left (including the Communist Party USA/Occupy Wall Street) and right, it will seem like the only choice.

Occupy Wall Street transitions and adapts. Two-Party regime/Media re-frames the debate, leaves out the 99%.
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
The political dialogue especially with regard to the presidential candidates has reached the apex of boredom. The two-party candidates attempt to outdo each other in their attempt to prove who is most mainstream and acceptable to the 1%. The Pollsters are quick to point out that the only alternative to the mainstream is being proposed by Obama as he plans to raise taxes, supposedly the only solution aside from Romney’s go to hell answer for the 99%. Of course the majority of people do not like the frame of the debate and so they would rather go to hell then take the meager handouts offered by the Obama regime which by the way was supposed to be giving these things to people for the past 4 years. The Obama machine went from offering national health care at the onset of the 2008 campaign, to currently offering platitudes that everyone knows really won’t see the light of day. Yet, as the 99% we should be grateful even for these platitudes since the alternative is supposed to be so much worse as usual.
On the other hand, we did have that brief period where the nation was introduced to a more communal concept of civilization, a period when minds were opened for a very brief moment to the possibility of a new way of life. Of course as with most movements the ruling class seized the opportunity in order to ensure that the movement lost it’s effectiveness, yet the current mode of capitalist rule at least in the U.S. doesn’t allow for this movement to completely be crushed and hence it is not over. In fact movements such as this learn important lessons from mistakes and reorganize in order to pose a more serious challenge to the regime.
There can be no mistake about it, the Occupy Wall Street movement has made a dent in the machinery of capitalism. The hardcore activists are still committed and their resolve will only grow stronger. While the regime strengthens it’s rule by imposing a more dictatorial domestic program by initiating new conflicts overseas, such as the current war of words between the U.S. and Russia over Syria and what that might lead to, the economic conditions will gradually worsen over time and that will bring more supporters and participants into the ranks of the revolutionary struggle.
The civil conflicts around the world which seem far from home are now destined to reach the United States. The dismantling of the encampments might have put a damper on the cries of the 99%, but the ideas that were introduced to the nation by this movement will not die easily, and the more force that the state uses in order to crush the assembly’s, the more resolve people will have to continue to fight in many different ways and on many different levels. Whether the regime eventually chooses it’s own radical candidates as a nationalist alternative out of desperation will be something to wait and see, but one thing is certain, there is no going back to the time when American radicalism was taught as being something from a past era relegated to the history books.

American Capitalists enter panic mode
Occupy Wall Street Movement opts to shed numbers rather than appeal to the “mainstream” capitalist agenda
By Roman Shusterman (comraderoman@gmail.com)
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nopolicestatecoalition
One of the tell-tale signs of a revolutionary movement/era is when the core of the movement is not willing to compromise on its ideological principles. In the case of Occupy Wall Street the capitalists are reaching a point of desperation, in fact a recent article in the NY Post reports again on the lone activist Tracy Postert who actually took a job on Wall Street after being spotted by a biomedical research firm seeking to make an example of how capitalism can work. Postert held a sign near ground zero during the height of the occupation of Zuccotti Park which stated “Ph.D biomedical scientist seeking employment.” In order to further confirm the “greatness” of capitalism, Fox news is parading Ms. Postert in front of the cameras once again with the news that she started her own business. Ms. Postert is a decent human being and probably a good scientist, however, she is apparently very naïve as to the intentions of Fox news when she allows them to use her for propaganda purposes.
First off in the world of publicity campaigns and the war on the morale of the poor, the highlighting of Ms. Postert as a significant representation of the protesters in Zuccotti park is itself very ridiculous and damaging to the morale of the bulk of the protesters. The portion of bio medical scientists in this protest movement who have trouble finding work, is not a large segment, even if they were, this movement was self-defined by the protesters as a anti-capitalist movement in general, as the group that called for the protests Adbusters is vehemently anti-capitalist. Even though Ms. Postert might have good intentions or thinks that her publicity will somehow help her lead the movement symbolically, the fact is that at the moment her publicity is used as a way of destroying the morale of the OWS movement and the anti-capitalist sentiment, yet even these attempts have failed. In fact the movement rather maintain its anti-capitalist stance as opposed to going the route of Ms. Postert, which is to appeal to the national bourgeoisie and make some sort of arrangement in order to keep the Occupy Wall Street Movement from naturally developing further down the revolutionary path which is of course inevitable. It would not be surprising to see Ms. Postert put up as a future Presidential candidate by the ruling class if it is deemed that the militancy of the movement is hard to control by the traditional candidates.
The first round of protests were in some ways very idealistic, the belief on behalf of many students was that if only the adults would see them protesting in the news and on T.V. that they would identify with their grievances and start protesting themselves or get involved in other ways that would change society. There were attempts made to start a new society, doctors came to Zuccotti park as well as other professionals and volunteered their services for the benefit of this new developing society. However, once the system came down on the protest it became clear that it was no longer beneficial to be a supporter, in fact it became dangerous and unpopular to express Marxist views. Slowly the core of the protesters are finding that being anti-capitalist comes at a heavy price. It takes sacrifice to fight for a changing world, the momentary gains that are made can be taken away as quickly as they were given, hence the need to never compromise and maintain ideological purity throughout the struggle for a new world. The turn from idealistic protesting to real battle protesting is only a short time away, once that occurs and it becomes clear that the system and the people behind it will not compromise and would rather die fighting, it will be up to the protesters to decide whether it is possible to solely win based on force or whether it will be necessary to offer new incentives in the form of ideas never before considered in order to ensure the loyalty of the majority capable of facing off against the capitalists.

One of the tell-tale signs of a revolutionary movement/era is when the core of the movement is not willing to compromise on its ideological principles. In the case of Occupy Wall Street the capitalists are reaching a point of desperation, in fact a recent article in the NY Post reports again on the lone activist Tracy Postert who actually took a job on Wall Street after being spotted by a biomedical research firm seeking to make an example of how capitalism can work. Postert held a sign near ground zero during the height of the occupation of Zuccotti Park which stated “Ph.D biomedical scientist seeking employment.” In order to further confirm the “greatness” of capitalism, Fox news is parading Ms. Postert in front of the cameras once again with the news that she started her own business. Ms. Postert is a decent human being and probably a good scientist, however, she is apparently very naïve as to the intentions of Fox news when she allows them to use her for propaganda purposes.
First off in the world of publicity campaigns and the war on the morale of the poor, the highlighting of Ms. Postert as a significant representation of the protesters in Zuccotti park is itself very ridiculous and damaging to the morale of the bulk of the protesters. The portion of bio medical scientists in this protest movement who have trouble finding work, is not a large segment, even if they were, this movement was self-defined by the protesters as a anti-capitalist movement in general, as the group that called for the protests Adbusters is vehemently anti-capitalist. Even though Ms. Postert might have good intentions or thinks that her publicity will somehow help her lead the movement symbolically, the fact is that at the moment her publicity is used as a way of destroying the morale of the OWS movement and the anti-capitalist sentiment, yet even these attempts have failed. In fact the movement rather maintain its anti-capitalist stance as opposed to going the route of Ms. Postert, which is to appeal to the national bourgeoisie and make some sort of arrangement in order to keep the Occupy Wall Street Movement from naturally developing further down the revolutionary path which is of course inevitable. It would not be surprising to see Ms. Postert put up as a future Presidential candidate by the ruling class if it is deemed that the militancy of the movement is hard to control by the traditional candidates.

Write-In Roman Shusterman (Fart Smeller) for President of the United States in 2012
Contact: Comraderoman@gmail.com
First Published 10/5/10
Third parties and candidates have not had much success in American politics. Recently Ralph Nader was accused of being a spoiler because he took away votes from Al Gore and John Kerry who supposedly catered to the same liberal base of voters. The point of the Humanitarian Socialist Party in the 2012 Presidential election would be to put the spotlight on the fundamental problems of our constitutional form of government and the presidency itself. For instance, the constitution mandates two important things in this regard which today because of the use of technology that was not around when the constitution was written, are unreasonable. Firstly, the idea that a president must be at least 35 years old was written by the founders at a time when men could accumulate enough knowledge and education from universities and books only by such an age. Access to information was not readily available back then as it is today and so even though this law continues to be in effect, it is actually used as a tool of oppression against younger voters who do not have the right to run for President even though the intent of the law when it was written is no longer rationally being defended or even debated.
Another important issue that is not put on the table but which was the cause of great debate last election season is the idea that the founders only wanted someone to run if they were an American citizen. However, all evidence points to the exact opposite intent of the founders, in fact the founders did not even want a constitutional form of government to begin with. Their first intention was to work out a deal with the king and install a progressive monarchy that recognized the rights of the colonists. The founders were not die hard nationalists either, they wanted new immigrants to come to the country and if it were not for the distance and lack of technology which today could allow someone to govern from anywhere in the world with real time information as opposed to waiting months until a message reached the King’s administrators in the colonies, the founders would not of had the miscommunications between the King and the English parliament which eventually won the debate and got the king to make concessions. The revolutionary war was fought because of lack of communications technology and not because the founders were some sort of die hard irrational revolutionaries that enjoyed violence and war. They actually wanted to avoid violence at all costs. If there had never been a revolutionary war the U.S. would have become a progressive monarchy and today would be similar to countries like Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Canada and even England which many would argue are progressive Democratic societies that respect diversity and socialist viewpoints unlike in the United States where reactionary ideas prevail and where socialists are blacklisted and banned from even debating the issues in elections.
This mid-term election is a very important one, but the voters who are angry are not given any real options when it comes to diverse viewpoints. They are told that if they do not choose the Democrats the Republicans will be even worse. Voters realize this but because of apathy and a lack of political organization as well as the domination of both parties by a capitalist philosophy which accepts the basic premise that only the free market holds the solutions for the world’s problems, the voter’s have very little recourse. There have recently been a string of hate crimes against gays in New York City, as well as hate crimes in general. Political violence and extremism is on the upswing because Americans do not feel represented by the constitution and the form of government we have. This is why it is now time to write-in a candidate that will return the American colonies to a position of rationality which would allow the United States to install a new government, a King, and a new constitution based on the principles of Geniocracy which are detailed on this blog in the links below.
