Why communism is always violent Violence is a part of communist theory -- the "revolution" and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are based on violence and are part of classic Marxism.
Moreover, violence is inevitable in attempting to force communism on any society, rich or poor. That's because communism relies on destroying individual ownership of property, which can only be accomplished by force.
Finally, communism flies in the face of human nature, so it inevitably fails to work. Communist leaders see this failure, and since they believe their ideology cannot be at fault, reason that it must be because of saboteurs. They then thrash about wildly, finding these "saboteurs" and persecuting them. When this fails, they assume there must be more saboteurs, and so the killing spreads.
This has been a consistent pattern among almost all communist regimes.

Whither the news?
Many people raise the question of where we will get information as newspapers and other mainstream media fold. When newspapers finally cease to exist, we will still get news.
I can think of three good sources already.
(1) Media releases and other information provided by corporations, institutions, political parties and lobby groups. Of course, this will be biased, but no more so than the existing media. As it is, much 'journalism' consists of transcribing these sources anyway.
(2) Citizen reporting. With mobile phones becoming ubiquitous, capable of taking photos and even sending video streams in real time, it is increasingly likely that someone will be present at a breaking news event, recording it on the spot.
(3) Interested amateurs -- bloggers with a day job who are enthusiastic enough to pursue a story and analyse the details. We have quite a few good ones already.
I think that with the demise of the mainstream media, we will only get more and better news.

I’m glad the weaker candidate got the nomination — this makes John McCain’s task easier.
In the unlikely event that Obama actually wins the election,
Americans will have a tough four years. But the upside is that he would
be such a rotten President that the White House would stay in
Republican hands for the next two decades afterwards.

It is true, most local and State papers are losing subscribers. Their internet revenues will never be enough to employ journalists, columnist, and editors. Either local and State papers will have to dramatically reduce their staff and lose in depth coverage, or start a lower subscription fee for internet papers.

re: Point 3 and the well known theories of motivation.
*** Extrinsic Motivation (eg. MONEY!, a wage, free alcohol-soaked lunches from whatever lobbyist is pissing in your pocket this week, etc.)
*** Intrinsic Motivation (eg. satisfaction of doing a job and doing it well.)
I always laugh when I hear wailing and gnashing of teeth "But who will do the journalism if it's free?! Won't somebody think of the journalists!"
Don't underestimate the power of intrinsic motivation. Just look at the plethora of "IT help desk" forums and the outstanding free advice one can get from complete strangers.

Imagine if there were a Department of Firearm Studies. All the
professors were a card-carrying member of GOA, NRA, etc. The
professors' resumes consisted mostly of shooting competitions and
lobbying on behalf of the NRA and little, if any, scholarship. The only
reading materials were those supporting an absolute right to own
Stinger missles. Nothing was assigned supporting a mitia-centric view
or a more limited individual rights view. Any student who dissented
from the professors' orthodoxy would get a failing grade or be
ridiculed and ostracized. Students who wrote elected officials to
oppose gun control would get bonus points toward their grade and class
credit would be given for wearing an empty holster to support guns on
campus. The professors would also be de facto employees of the NRA,
albeit paid get paid by the university, who spent as least as much time
lobbying and organizing rallies as teaching or researching.
That would be the right-wing equivilent of the typical Womens'
Studies Department and the like. Don't hold your breath waiting for
this to happen. Nor should it happen. There should be a line between
the political and the scholarly.

... Except, of course, that the people who are in the Womens' Studies Department were born as women, didn't choose to be women and have been women 24/7 throughout their lives, while guns are machines that are manufactured by factories and are lethal.
Only a conservative could explicitly compare women to guns and not realize what an ass he is making of himself.

Rather than a specimen .... isn't this a sample of the how academia in the Anglosphere has sunk to its nadir in 2008?
After all, it has bias, bigotry and the rigid closed mind. It has approved plagiarism. It has dumbing-down. It gives a sinecure to someone whose career is built on plundering the good ideas of his/her/its student - without a word of acknowlegement. It has misinformation, dysinformation, ridiculous references and thoroughly dodgy primary sources. Probably pass marks for dropping your pants too. It has the unethical waste of the students' time, effort, enthusiasm, curiosity, reputation, money and other resources. In the end, the credential so gained will cost a hell of a lot more that it could ever be worth.
The good news is .... this is as low as it gets .... either that - or another King Henry VIII will rock up on the scene and "close the abbeys".

A black hole blasting an immense jet of energy into a neighbouring galaxy has been observed by astronomers for the first time.
In a burst of galactic violence recorded by astronomers in the US space agency's ground and space-based observatories, the black hole of a "death star" is seen shooting the jet of radiation into the adjacent galaxy, NASA said.
The jet is so powerful that it wipes out any life in its path.
"We've seen many jets produced by black holes, but this is the first time we've seen one punch into another galaxy like we're seeing here," said Dan Evans, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and leader of the study.
"This jet could be causing all sorts of problems for the smaller galaxy it is pummeling," said Mr Evans, who led the research team making the discovery.

The Muslim Brotherhood's 'Project'
Here's an interesting read. Interesting, that is, in the sense of the alleged Chinese proverb. There's more at the original link.
In May 2006, I introduced FrontPage readers to one such Muslim Brotherhood document known in Western counterintelligence circles as “The Project”. FrontPage readers were the first to read the entire document in English translation, obtained during a December 2001 raid on the compound of Yousef Nada, a primary international Muslim Brotherhood figure and financier.
The document is self-dated December 1982, around the time that the Muslim Brotherhood was engaged in a comprehensive organizational reworking. During this period it was determined that rather than continuing confrontation with the Arab nationalist regimes in the Middle East, the Muslim Brotherhood would direct their efforts elsewhere, particularly Europe, and later, the United States.
In fact, in my introduction to “The Project”, I noted the connection between this strategic planning document and the November 2005 French intifada, as well as other contemporary events in Europe:
What makes The Project so different from the standard “Death of America! Death to Israel!” and “Establish the global caliphate!” Islamist rhetoric is that it represents a flexible, multi-phased, long-term approach to the “cultural invasion” of the West. Calling for the utilization of various tactics, ranging from immigration, infiltration, surveillance, propaganda, protest, deception, political legitimacy and terrorism, The Project has served for more than two decades as the Muslim Brotherhood “master plan”. As can be seen in a number of examples throughout Europe – including the political recognition of parallel Islamist government organizations in Sweden, the recent “cartoon” jihad in Denmark, the Parisian car-burning intifada last November, and the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London – the plan outlined in The Project has been overwhelmingly successful.
The strategic plan outlined within “The Project” specifically directs
the connection of Muslim minorities in the West with the global
jihadist movements elsewhere in the world as the sole “suggested
mission” under the document’s “Ninth Point of Departure”:

[UPDATE: At about midnight US Pacific time, the journalist's blog in question stopped serving pages, possibly out of sheer embarrassment.I've changed the links to my saved copy so you can enjoy the comments.]
If you like mainstream media-related schadenfreude as much as I do, you'll love reading the comments on this blog post. An American journalist freshly assigned to Iraq tries to bluster his way through a military checkpoint without ID, then blogs about it in the most embarrassing possible way.
Since Bobby Caina Calvan edited the parts of the post in question after realising his mistake, I've tried to reassemble the original passage fromseveralsources.
The Americans, however, are the absolute worst. I had a testy exchange Tuesday with an American soldier at an entry checkpoint into the Green Zone.....
He asked if I had a driver’s license on me. I told him I didn’t have one. He looked incredulous. Why would I need a driver’s license in Baghdad; I wouldn’t be driving, I told him.
He took offense at my response.....
Then he looked at the second ID of my companion. It was a badge issued by our newspaper. He said it wouldn’t do. Besides, he asked, what is Knight Ridder?.....
I explained that it’s one of the largest newspaper companies in the United States. It owns the Miami Herald, The Sacramento Bee, the Kansas City Star.
“I know the Miami Herald, he said. "I used to live there. But I never heard of Knight Ridder.” He began to chuckle, pronouncing the company as Knight Rider. Perhaps his chuckles stemmed from memories of the 1980s television show “Night Rider.” He then seemed to mock us.....
With nothing to lose I decided to get pushy.
I asked him how he could not possibly know that Knight Ridder was one of the country’s largest newspaper chains. I told him that we’re bigger than the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times.
“We’re bigger than the Journal,” I replied. “You never heard of Knight Ridder?”
He didn’t want to be embarrassed. He already looked irritated. He asked me if I knew the number of the military’s media office.
“I would if you’d let me switch on my phone,” I snapped. “What’s the use of these media badges if people like you aren’t going to honor them? Is this for nothing? Why don’t you call? That’s your job, isn’t it?” I made it known that I was jotting down his name.
My security man was struggling with a smirk on his face. He knew my plan. I was going to bully my way back into the Green Zone.
Adding further silliness to this name-dropping attempt, the reporter got the name of his own organisation wrong. It isn't Knight-Ridder any more, that company was bought out as it slid toward bankruptcy (I wonder why?) It's now known as McClatchy Co.
