GENERAL PUCK OFFERS SOLUTION

America's Homeless Problem: The Final Solution.

By General Wolfgang Puck America Heritage Foundation.
"We Offer Final Solutions To America's Problems."

Every day there are over 3.5 million people in the United States that are homeless. Of course, many of them are hungry. As part of what is increasingly called the "war on the homeless" local governments and businesses are united in trying to beautify cities by sweeping the destitute off the sidewalks along with the trash.

It most cities it is a crime to be homeless. New ordinances are being enacted and police sometimes use draconian methods to enforce them. Activities of charitable homeless caregivers have been criminalized. It is a crime to give food to the poor in many cities.

Sadly, In the U.S., Municipal, State and Federal governments are helpless in meeting the desperate human needs of the homeless.

Given their hopeless plight, coupled with the pathetic inability of states and municipalities to cope with the problem, it is clear that a final national solution is in order. At the outset, the homeless must be rounded up and sent to concentration camps just as the Japanese were in World War II.

One-room, eighteen square foot plywood huts can be provided the homeless in camps throughout the U.S. just as many were for the Japanese during their internment during WWII. The cramped quarters will be preferable to sleeping on America's streets. For every square block of houses a shower can be provided. Coupled with the suggestions offered below, this will provide humane treatment for our American Homeland Homeless Citizens.

President Obama must invoke Executive Order 1101, which allows the Federal Government to take over all health, education, and welfare functions. The Office Of Emergency Planning, FEMA, and the United States Army can administer the program, aided by the CIA, NSA, Delta Forces, Navy Seals and Guantanamo Bay physicians and psychologists.

My plan includes employment: Work will give our homeless dignity; this is particularly true with children, young or older. Work done by the camp inmates will come from trans-national corporations and other businesses, as is currently the case in America's private prisons. Indeed, all services provided in the camps will be privatized in accordance with the customs of unregulated capitalism. Minimum wage laws will not apply in order to give a powerful incentive for free enterprise to provide labor for the concentration camp prisoners.

As it did during World War II for Nazi Germany, IBM will keep records on prisoner labor activity. Speaking of Nazi Germany, the entrances to the American concentration camps for the homeless shall have the words, ""Arbeit macht frei" a German phrase meaning "work makes you free." I cannot emphasize enough the role that work will play in the internment camps. The inability of the American economy to provide employment for homeless millions will be mitigated by establishment of the camps.

The Secretary Of The Army will oversee a federal registry of the homeless. This will enable police and military to arrest them at will without needless interference from Constitutional freedoms and rights considerations. That registry is also needed in situations where homeless prisoners escape from detention and need to be shot, and/or rounded up and sent back. (Escapees will then be subject to court martial procedures held by a camp military tribunal headed by the camp commandant).

Because of the severity of the security issue, ever facet of the homeless prisoners' existence will have to be monitored by guards and ever-present surveillance devices. Some of this was done in Nazi camps which may serve as a model for the U.S.'

Close supervision in the camps by armed personnel could be provided by private contractors such as Blackwater or other operatives who have necessary experience gained by working with the military in such locations as Abu Grahib and Guantanamo Bay.

Drone surveillance should be employed along with helicopters that will incessantly rumble over the camps as they now do in the ghettos of all U.S. cities.

My plan provides for security, safety, work, food, clothing and shelter for homeless Americans. This incarceration scheme embodies sacred American values and institutions such as free enterprise capitalism, our proud work ethic, the omnipresent U.S. security surveillance state, our love of the military and police, fascination with drones, and the American tradition of sweeping dangerous and severe problems under the rug and out of sight.

(Too, running these camps will provide jobs for unemployed Americans. Because the GOP controls the congress, and the program will therefore be underfunded, the new jobs created will be part-time, no-benefit, low wage affairs, just as the vast majority of new jobs now created in the U.S. are. And, remember, as our economy worsens and another economic collapse occurs, we'll need todd open more camps!)

This is America! We are a "can do" nation that can achieve the final solution to our homeless problem. Let's do it within the framework of our American heritage.

VICTIM OF CALIFORNIA DROUGHT

American Psychoanalysis Online
Spring, 2015

by Giacomo Puccini, Contributing Editor

Last week, for the first time in the state's history, Golden State's Gov. Jerry Brown imposed mandatory water restrictions, requiring all cities and towns to cut their water usage by 25 percent.

The action was taken because California's reservoirs have about a year's worth of water left. Too, Groundwater levels, seen as a "savings account" that the state can draw from in dry times, are at an all-time low.

But restrictive solutions to California's plight do not affect California's upper crust 1%. For example, in Montecito, a tony city just southeast of Santa Barbara, famous for Oprah Winfrey's mansioning there, residents simply obey water cut back rules, but truck in hundreds of thousands of gallons of water weekly for their vast estates. In other areas, such as Beverly Hills and other desirable zip codes wealthy people simply pay the heavy fines for water guzzling.

But some California women - who tend to be educated in the Liberal Arts in colleges like U.C. Berkeley - are flocking to California psychologists because of their reaction to the drought.

"They have a malady that we are calling "California Drought Syndrome," said Inland Empire psychotherapist Dr. Blanche Du Bois. I have three patients who suffer from traumatic episodes just when hearing their neighbor's sprinklers go on in early mornings, even though it is only twice a week.

Dr. DuBois would not exactly specify what treatment she used for these patients but described it as being "innovative, bizarre, involving water and associated with the CIA." Dr. DuBois said, "I've had good success with it and will share my techniques it soon with my colleagues in the Journal of National Security State Psychiatry.

Nationally known Dr. Geoffrey Chaucer of Pasadena, was willing to be more specific about treating California Drought Syndrome.

"I have one patient who cannot turn on the faucet to take a shower or even fill a glass with water who suffers terribly. She was really smelly when she first came to me for treatment. However, I have made great progress with her and I no longer have to splash her with Farina Eau de Cologne when she comes into my office."

Dr. Chaucer explained that, like many of his patients, her Mother weaned her too early from breast-feeding. "So, because she did not get her basic needs met early in life, she feels guilty when they are met as an adult - in her case just quenching her thirst or staying clean induces trauma."

""I have combined in vivo desensitization and positive reinforcement techniques to cure her. This simply means that as she repetitively repeats the guilt-inducing act of faucet turning in my office bathroom she has a diminished emotional responsiveness to the negative spigot stimulus. And after often repeating the act she is on the road to recovery," said Chaucer.

"The positive reinforcement aspect is giving her a comfort food that evokes a pleasurable sentimental response after she has turned the water on. In American culture that involves high dosages of sucrose. So I give her a big milkshake or a large piece of dark chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce when she turns on the faucet," stated Dr. Chaucer.

I met with psychoanalyst Chaucer at Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club, a favorite noontime watering hole and hide-away for successful area professionals. After he imbibed several martini's Dr. Chaucer became quite talkative about the subject of treating patients with California Drought syndrome.

"I can help them with their disorder by employing the two techniques I've described to you," he told me. "But I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I want to stop their trauma about contributing to the drought and, therefore, treat them effectively. But on the other hand, if I succeed in treating them, when they turn on the faucet they use up scarce water, I'm just contributing to California's water shortage. I just don't know what to do!" exclaimed Dr. Chaucer.

Finally, he said, "Many parts of the country will be drought-ridden like California in the future, and we'll see a new category in the The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, in say 2017. It will be termed "National Water Guilt Syndrome," or something like that. Obviously, a big part of the solution will be for the psychological community to encourage every American Mother to wean their infants early," stated the eminent Pasadena psychoanalyst.

U.S. Cops Should Use Pleasure Drugs On Suspects

WHY CAN'T POLICE USE THIS CAN OF SOMA SPRAY?

  In the book “Brave New World” The police spray soma vapor into the air to quiet the violent.  Soma is the ideal pleasure drug in Aldous Huxley’s novel (1932). Its chemistry and pharmacology are undefined. As described, the drug resembles a hangoverless tranquillizer or an opiate.

In the United States police are armed with lethal weapons.  We don’t know how many civilians are killed by police because no accurate records are kept.  But Between 2003 and 2009, the DOJ reported that 4,813 people died while in the process of arrest or in the custody of law enforcement.

Eugene Robinson once pointed out that U.S. police officers shoot somewhere between 500 and 1,000 people per year, whereas "there were no fatal police shootings in Great Britain last year. Not one. In Germany, there have been eight police killings over the past two years. In Canada—a country with its own frontier ethos and no great aversion to firearms—police shootings average about a dozen a year."

While it is true that some police shootings take place in near panic conditions, for example the cop having to make split second decisions, there are constant reports of citizens being killed while running away from police, murdered in backs of squad cars and vans, etc.  Very disturbing are the reports of mentally ill people being killed by “peace officers.”   For example “. . .17-year-old Krisetiana Coignard was shot and killed by three officers last Thursday in the lobby of Longview Police Department in Texas, after she reportedly asked to talk to an officer while wielding a small knife.

And again on CNN, a few weeks ago, “Dallas Police Kill Mentally Ill Man Armed With Screwdriver.”  And on and on:
Family of Mentally Ill Miami Gardens Man Killed by Cops Releases Dash-Cam Video. Lavall Hall, 25, who was schizophrenic, ... Posted: April 9 2015 12:19 PM.

Back to “Brave New World:” Cops in the U.S. could use soma vaporizers or direct soma spray into the faces of threatening schizophrenics.  Nets could be thrown over the violent in some circumstances.  There are chemical agents, which cause people to go into pleasurable laughing spasms, which could certainly be used by officers of the peace.  Use your imagination:  There are dozens of similar non-violent techniques that could be employed by police to subdue suspects.

But Google the subject and one gets nothing.  Why?  I’m sure it’s multi-causal.   The cops would probably lose their macho tough guy image if they couldn’t use their guns (there are numerous reports where they use guns instead of tazers when the later would have been effective (just Google it.)  If the macho ones had to wield a pink can of soma spray wouldn’t some of us question their manhood?

Too, I suspect that, as Henry J. Giroux points out, America is a culture of violence.  He writes, “A value a sense of compassion and regard for the other that we end up in a moral vacuum in which violence finds suitable legitimation. . .  Representations of violence dominate the media and often parade before viewers less as an object of critique than as a for-profit spectacle, just as the language of violence and punishment now shapes the U.S. culture  — with various registers of violence now informing school zero-tolerance policies, a bulging prison-industrial complex, and the growing militarization of everyday life.”

In such a culture (addiction to unending war should also be noted, of course), the idea of police using weapons of compassionate non-violence is unthinkable.

There is no more space available to examine such other possible factors as the glorification of death-wielding instruments of murder and mayhem by the N.R.A.

A little more:

The killing of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri, was no anomaly: As we reported yesterday, Brown is one of at least four unarmed black men who died at the hands of police in the last month alone.
Between 2003 and 2009, the DOJ reported that 4,813 people died while in the process of arrest or in the custody of law enforcement.

PUNISHED FOR EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE: AMERICA'S "REWARD" FOR FOUR EXCEPTIONAL CITIZENS

Courage is defined as being willing to face immense difficulty, to deal with hardship, to even risk one's own well-being in the pursuit of what one believes is right, driven by service to one's convictions, family, community, or nation.  Our nation's history is full of examples of people who have demonstrated extraordinary courage, and been admirably and properly rewarded by their families, communities, and the nation for their bravery and their sacrifices. In our political history during the past 50 years, however, there have been at least four prime examples of citizens voluntarily demonstrating extreme courage, knowing full well of the risks involved, in an attempt to shed light upon and hopefully correct major improprieties and violations occurring within high levels of the government.  While history, and even evidence present at the time, reveals the accuracy of their revelations, they were consistently hounded by government officials, castigated by much of the press, threatened with criminal charges and jail, in some cases lost well-established career positions or were driven from the country. There is little doubt they were, in each case, acting to correct a significant national or international transgression, a military blunder, or a violation of citizens constitutional rights, but the government's response was consistently one of punishment, not one of reward. I am referring to, not unsurprisingly, Daniel Ellsberg, for revealing the Pentagon Papers, showing how the escalation of the Vietnamese War was based upon a known distortion of fact; Valerie Plame and Ambassador Joe Wilson, for providing evidence that the rationale the Bush-Cheney Administration was using to validate initiating the Iraqi War was likewise based on a known fiction; and Edward Snowden, the NSA contractor who revealed that NSA's surveillance of citizens private communications, and even those of government officials, was much more extensive than they claimed and than was authorized.  In each case, each individual knew the risk they were taking, the likely consequences for themselves, their families, their futures.  But the danger was trumped by the importance to the nation of revealing the truth, lessening the damage likely to be done by an unknowing continuation of policies and actions that were so mistaken, illegal, and unjust.  Their actions certainly fall within the definition of "heroism", and a minority of our population undoubtedly feels they merit that term, but not within the halls of Wash. DC.  Whistleblowers are encouraged on paper, but when it comes to challenging the powers of government, they are clearly frowned upon, negated, and ostracized.  Meanwhile, those in powerful government positions who initiate and/or perpetuate mindless, mistaken wars (e.g., Dick Cheney, Richard Nixon) or who oversee and/or manipulate the gross violation of rights of their political opponents (e.g., J Edgar Hoover, Sen. Joe McCarthy) are honored, receive state funerals, have federal buildings named after them. They are, literally, too big to fail, too powerful to jail, in spite of the damage they have caused to the nation and to numerous law-abiding citizens. Who are the real heroes, and who are the cowards, shielded by the immunity inherent in their high positions from paying any personal price for the damage and destruction their misdeeds might impose on individual lives, on society, and on the world?  When we think of heroes, let's think of the real heroes who truly deserve the term. May our country come to have a greater appreciation for the service they provide for all of us.

THE SHAMELESS, UNMITIGATED GALL OF DICK CHENEY

In a radio interview earlier this week, Dick Cheney had the nerve to assert that Barack Obama was, in his opinion, the worst president the US has ever had. Dick Cheney, the man who as vice president in the George W Bush administration, orchestrated turning our nation's legitimate response to 9-11 by fighting al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan into an unrelated, unnecessary war against Iraq, which has ended up destabilizing not only that nation but the entire Middle East. Dick Cheney, the man who claims to have no regrets for manipulating the US into a middle East disaster costing untold trillions of dollars, many thousands of our soldiers lives, and hundreds of thousands of middle eastern lives, triggering the development of new, even more violent terrorist groups, with resulting conflicts still mushrooming in size, range, and lethality. Dick Cheney, the man whose Chief of Staff, Scooter Libby, was convicted and sentenced to time in prison for exposing a CIA agent in his attempt to punish a US Ambassador who had the forthrightness to expose that the administration's attempts to find reasons to attack Iraq were based on faulty, contrived evidence.  Dick Cheney, the man who as a leading neocon was given tremendous power over determining the course of the nation's foreign policy in the early years of  the W Bush administration, and whose Secretary of State during those years, Colin Powell, later resigned and apologized for the tragic errors that were made under that watch.  Dick Cheney, the man who spent his last years as our nation's vice president in virtual hiding, no longer in the inner loop, once the failure of the policies he had so fervently proposed and initiated became overwhelmingly obvious. The same Dick Cheney is still on the scene, making statements on Fox News, and there are apparently some people who still listen to him, and may even take his judgments seriously. Few people would claim that Obama's presidency has been notably successful. Whatever one feels about Obama's intentions as president, his accomplishments are unfortunately more outnumbered by his disappointments and unresolved issues and problems.  But the worst?  Cheney need look no further back than the administration he was a part of to find a more worthy recipient of that charge. Ignored the warning signs prior to 9-11, turned the nation's reaction to that assault into a region-wide disaster from which the entire Middle East, and we, as the precipitating power which spread the conflict, are still trying to recover and reestablish a degree of order. No, it is not Obama who deserves the accusation, but it is not surprising that failure is paramount of Cheney's mind. Every time he looks at the mirror in the morning, he is looking straight into the sad eyes of one who has every reason to fear no one is more deserving of the charge "worst" than he.

THE NEOCONS REEMERGE: ENDLESS WARFARE THREATENED BY THEIR DELUSIONS OF WORLD DOMINATION

While the reign of neocons controlling US foreign policy during the Bush-Cheney Administration was thoroughly discredited in the last decade, when the failure of their endeavor to attack Iraq, install a pro-western government, defeat al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, and further spread "democracy" throughout the Middle East became painfully evident, in recent years they have been quietly resurrecting themselves to have an influential voice exerting power within and upon our government.  Congressional Republicans consider ways to torpedo the efforts of Obama, together with five major European allies, to work with Iran on a treaty limiting their development of a nuclear energy program and preventing military weapons-grade applications. Neocon spokesmen like John Bolton suggest that a preemptive bombing strike on possible nuclear sites is a feasible option, and a vast majority of Republican senators and congressmen apparently agree with Netanyahu that diplomacy should not even be attempted, just let tensions build until military action is the only option. That the Iranian people elected a more moderate leader, Rouhani, in their last election, and that he seems more willing to negotiate on  some issues than previous leadership, and is even showing  signs of cooperating with us in fighting ISIS in Iraq, means nothing to those who are fixated on having it their way, so why bother to talk, just let the fighting begin. The neocon mantra has loud voices in the Senate, in John McCain and Lindsey Graham, in frequent rants on needing more forces in Afghanistan, more advisors on the ground in Iraq, reintroducing our own combat troops again undoubtedly necessary, more must be done in Syria, Yemen, Africa, etc.

 With our unrivaled sheer military power, neocons apparently feel that the entire region, if not the world, is ours to influence and control as we wish, if we only had the nerve to exercise our military might, and our manpower, to the fullest. An arrogant fantasy, to be sure, and disproven by the history of our 21st century efforts in the Middle East thus far, but still powerfully expressed in the halls of Congress, the op-ed pages throughout the US, and the think tanks housed with right-wing academicians. A recent op-ed piece coming out of the Koch-funded Cato Institute, for example, criticized some of our Middle Eastern  allies for meddling in our endeavors in the region, faulting them for not single-mindedly assisting us in achieving our objectives.  Quite an assumption, our agenda should be their agenda! And who is doing the meddling?  Our regional allies are the full-time residents. Neocons have little recognition of the fact that other independent nations may have their own agendas, differing perhaps markedly from ours, with the differences preferably being grist for the diplomatic mill, not initial grounds for war.  But the Neocon movement, kick-started as a governmental influence by the Project for a New American Century, founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan in 1997, felt that the US has not only the right but also the responsibility to impose its own will, its sense of what is best, elsewhere throughout the world. Cheney, as vice president, was a fervent advocate, manipulated the attack on Iraq and  overthrow of Hussein, and virtually controlled the nation's foreign policy during the first 5 years of George W Bush's presidency.  With the failure of the neocons assault on our nation's Middle East endeavors, Cheney's influence diminished, and the Project for a New American Century closed its doors in 2007.  Neocons, however, are still sadly very much on the scene, having come out of the closet they retreated to temporarily, and are again exerting their dangerous influence.

In addition to the Middle East, where Obama has been trying to negotiate a difficult path between holding to his initial commitment, to gradually withdraw from full military engagement in that troubled region, and managing the political pressure from war hawks, the defense establishment, and residual neocons to maintain and even increase our military investment, the Ukraine last year developed into another area beset with major power conflict in which neocons in our government  played a leading role. The Eastern European Affairs region of the State Department has been led by Victoria Nuland, with wife of Robert Kagan and one with neocon instincts close to her heart. Any reset with Russia that Obama may have contemplated never really got off the ground, NATO was closed to Russian involvement, even when they were open to cooperation on some issues, missile placements remained near Russian borders, and the creep of NATO-joining nations continued to encroach towards Russia's borders. Nuland played a significant role in encouraging the Maidan revolution in Kiev last year, which overthrew a democratically-elected Russian-leaning leader of Ukraine, and with the new leaders considering cementing closer ties to the EU and to NATO than had been conceived when the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine became an independent, neutrally-aligned nation, a Russian reaction was assured and conflict involving Crimea and the eastern, Russian-speaking regions ensued.  Ukraine was known to be an unstable nation, involvement by our neocons insured that the sectional conflict would turn into a potentially dangerous major power conflict.  Our European allies are trying to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the warfare, while our government, interestingly, is not involved in the discussions. What a neocon is doing in our State Department handling that key Eastern European region perhaps only Obama can answer.  Nuland has, however, closely worked with Hillary Clinton on foreign policy issues when she was Secretary of State, and of course advises John Kerry.  So the voices of neocons seem to be ever present, in spite of their checkered past. Time to raise the warning flag, unless we are prepared to continue the New American Century of Conflict.
