US immigration debate from the progressive capitalist position.

As with all radio show posts, this is only a short writeup. Please go to the blog and click on listen. If you want to subscribe via RSS, use this http://cyrillvatomsky.com/rss.cfm URL in your RSS reader.

Most of the show was dedicated to US immigration discussion. My position in general is:

  • This country can not afford economic and moral implications of expelling 12 million people one way or another.
  • There is no simple solution to this problem, which creates a fertile ground for peddlers of simple solutions that can just do nothing but offer snide remarks about people that try to do something about this disgrace.
  • The whole country, including 12 million illegals are all victims of a fallacy -  that laws of supply and demand can be changed by a decree.

Many callers disagreed.

Other subjects (in the second hour) were French elections, Gaza, and some Russia related stuff already covered by my blog posts.

Easter Sunday Embassy of the New World Order.

The Easter Sunday broadcast of the Embassy of the New World Order on KSCO AM 1080.

Some talk about Easter in Russia, mostly how my family celebrated it when I was a school boy in 1970-s.

Nancy Pelosi trip to Syria. I suspect that one of the Israeli government people told Pelosi or even more likely a Pelosi staffer that "wink wink" we might be willing to start talking with Assad. This would be a normal thing - secretly pass information, establish an intermediary and start slowly moving sides together.

Instead this unsophisticated and ignorant in issues of diplomacy publicity hound opened her mouth and started talking about this on a press conference. Naturally, Israel had only one thing to say to it - we didn't tell her anything. What a dumb thing to do.

I don't really care what happens to Pelosi and if she is going to be investigated under Logan Act, but it is quite possible she ruined a potential for some sort of talks. There is a reason provincial politicos should get decent training before they adventure into foreign affairs.

British MoD decided to allow captured Royal Marines to sell their stories to the media. Not sure I like this move.

Fidel Castro agrees with yours truly. I have been calling this ethanol craze an obscenity for some time. To turn food into fuel while people are starving shows serious disconnect between priorities in the US and elsewhere. The most curious side of it, however, is that this abomination is being pushed by the left that supposedly cares about starving in the third world.

Naturally, it is only a pretense. None of the anti-globalization people care about the third world. They care about changing the first one to their liking. Otherwise they would embrace globalization because it is the only thing that has been consistently lifting people out of poverty.

Show ends with a three minute part of Te Deum from some 12th century Easter Liturgy played by Hortus Musicus.

Enjoy.

Featuring Dr. Laina Farhat Holzman

Dr. Laina Farhat Holzman was my guest on today's Embassy of the New World Order show on KSCO AM 1080. As usual, we covered a variety of subjects, but mostly revolving around her and my special interests: Iran, Iraq and Russia:

The escalating crisis with Iran taking 15 British soldiers hostage. What were reasons, what would be options. Laina seems to think it was more likely to come from the top, I just think it follows the "Who would rid me of this meddlesome priest!" pattern. Like with Putin and Litvinenko.

It appears, at least Laina thinks this it the case, that Iran is actually actively seeking a military confrontation, a war. This is not outside of realm of possibilities. Ahmadinejad is loosing popularity and control and may actually repeat the folly of the Argentinian junta that tried to capture The Falklands.

Some options were suggested on how to deal with the current crisis, including blockade, capturing Iranian vessels, bombing refineries. 

Situation in Iraq got some attention. Especially correcting some of falsities from other media.

Russia has banned non-citizens from selling produce on its markets was another subject and there were callers.
