11/02/05 Report was the first lady and hospital construction in Iraq. The problem for the Iraqis is why a new hospital when they don't have the money for doctors, drugs or medical equipment for the ones they have, for that matter.
The answer is simple. It is because there is not anything that these right wingers will do (in this case American construction firms in Iraq) unless there something in it for them. They are not going to make any money providing doctors, drugs or medical equipment. If they can't make money out of something they do, then they are not going to do it, or they want at least publicity — see what how wonderful we are, and then they want their name on it. Think they would be in Iraq if it were not for the money — like they are building hospitals in Africa, Asia or South America, or even in their own home country?
10/31/05 Oh well — only one
indictment — but if your on the left in America, you have to get used to almost always being disappointed.
Turns out Cheney and Rumsfeld, according to Jeff Stein of the Congressional Quarterly, are the two biggest criminals in the history of the world — well not
on the level of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini or Emperor Hirohito, but in terms of pure thievery — yes.
These two have backed phony intelligence before, not
just for the Iraq war, but for the cold war as well, which caused the expenditure of TRILLIONS of US tax payer dollars, for weapons never ever used, but which made the Military Industrial Complex all that oodles
of dough, and that has carpeted thousands upon thousands of acres of weapons, never used. The country was on nuclear trigger for 50 years where there were some
close calls — all for money, the greatest of
American traditions. And that's just it. There is a government for show and tradition and there is a secret one. How else — these guys still sitting in the White House, 'cept they work for a secret government
of money?
10/28/05 You can tell the
Fitzgerald investigation is honest and professional — no leaks. Grand jury proceedings are by law secret because it is not a trial, since those questioned are not allowed a lawyer or to present evidence to defend themselves, and reputations could be destroyed. Not that this mattered to the Starr grand jury investigation — whose purpose it was — there were leaks everyday. This was because the intention was to destroy Clinton and nothing more by innuendo and smear, because they could come up with not an iota of anything. But hell it wouldn't work, not without the cooperation of the great and wonderful American media, to trump this tripe from morning to night, the scum of the earth that they are. Was any news organization prosecuted for leaking grand jury testimony? Did the media state that the leaking of grand jury testimony was illegal, and refuse to be apart of the witch burning. Are you kidding. As they aided and abetted the buildup to a phony war in Iraq, they aided and abetted the attempted overthrow of a US president, first by pressuring resignation, and when that didn't work, set the stage for impeachment. In an honest world those publishers would have all been tried for treason. But in the world we live, the traitors are the cream of society and social sets. But idinn't entertaining though — so long it ain't you babe.
10/26/05 Got to remember
last year, the flu scare of '04, where some traffic
intersections at hospital entrances were in gridlock, blocked by morons trying to get their flu shots before
the flu — flew into their autos and struck them dead. What happened to the great '04 flu pandemic?
Never happened. What of the flu shot that was to save humanity? Didn't fit the flu that was afloat anyway. So what was the upshot? The drug manufactures selling flu vaccine made lots of money on a basically worthless drug. So now it is an annual — like Halloween, the pre-winter flu scare. And with the latest bird flu scare — who will make a lot of money — why if it isn't the Secretary of Death himself — Donald Rumsfeld, who holds stocks in drug companies he used to CEO, which have been given 2 BILLION of tax payer money — scared from the congress, for flu vaccine, for a flu that does not exist. Isn't America great. And it could not be
done without media, zombie-newscaster, hypnocrisis
entertainment.
10/24/05 Still waitin' for
those indictments. Lots of speculation so what's some more. Bush Jr. for the first time in his life defies daddy. Course Daddy helped him get elected president
but now that he is — he going to show Daddy he
don't need 'em no more. Latches onto Cheney and that whole gang, 'cause they will do what daddy did not and says not to do now — invade Iraq. Now that the whole Cheney gang is going down in smoke, and baby Bush is in deep do-do, and what — Daddy has to come to the rescue again. Theory by Wane Madsen — Bush on
daddy's advice appoints Paul McNulty as deputy Attorney general who, if not a bribe to sabotage the AIPAC spy case of which he was in charge, will do what — but help bring down Cheny and the neocons and keep Jr out of it. After they go, Daddies people will be back, and Bush
Jr. will be saved by daddy again. Course it also assures that Skull & Bones stays in charge, which may mean that the iron fist got knuckled under, and by slight of hand the velvet glove appears in its place. New cast of characters in costume only. The werewolf is replaced
by Dracula.
10/21/05 Got to love the compassionate Conservatives. How the hell is anyone
who believes they are the chosen ones by God, or superior by elite, rich and birth, going to be compassionate? If people think they are superior and in fact their identity and very existence is based on that perceived condition, how are they going to relate to the dictionary definition, as the awareness and concern for
the suffering and perspectives of others, except as the piety of pity. Get a clue. Ain't going to happen. 'God is love. God is merciful. But if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, you will go to hell and eternal damnation', for well — eternity. Yup this is real compassion. Are people who are so dumb they don't see the contradiction capable of compassion?
10/19/05 Famous quote by
Prince Philip, (paraphrasing) 'nothing so ruined the London sky line, not even Hitler, like architects'.
Back in the day, when the then San Francisco Chronicle owned a SF TV station, it built one of the seven ugliest wonders of the world — a giant TV tower hovering over the city like a middle finger. And of course the Chronicle architecture editor had to do a great
long article in praise of it. All understandable.
He better like what the boss put up — as a mere commercial monstrosity. But the new MH de Young Museum in SF, Golden Gate Park, has got to be one of the ugliest structures in history, as viewed from the outside. It looks like a combination world war machine gun pill box and a military airport control tower having been hit by a rocket or damaged by an earthquake. Maybe it is the new terrorist kitsch architecture, a new art
market. Someone seems proud of it — was built by the private sector, no doubt new-rich millionaires whose idea of art is plumbing fixtures as museum art, and given to the city rather than the city pay for it. What did they go — 'If we are going to have to pay for this, we are going to get even, and give them the ugliest turkey conceivable'. On the bright side, it looks like it
might not be that difficult to give it a makeover, like a botched face lift. Obvious what this is — this is all about them and their elite, vain and vacuous ideas about what art is — and the public be damned.
10/17/05 We are all in a bind
in America. Not anyone in the establishment is allowed to criticize Israel. Apparently American politicians
are not allowed to criticize Israel either, because
they would be targeted by Jewish lobbies, such as AIPAC for election defeat. Why — because it would contribute to anti-Semitism, and apparently might bring on a neo-nazi holocaust. What a way to run a democracy.
These lobbies may act primarily in the interest of Israel. Thus many American politicians are controlled
by Israel. And no one is allowed to say a thing. What
a deal for Israel. One thing certain, it would seem then, is that no presidential candidate can be elected without the backing of Israel. Hillary is apparently
making the rounds of the temples. Will Israel impact
the selection of both the Democratic and Republican candidates? How can we know since no one will talk
about it. Funny Americans have politicians controlled
by a country that only allows citizenship based on religion, of which 95% of Americans are not, and are ineligible. Ooops! Wasn't 'spose to say that.
10/14/05 Judy Miller goes
to jail for not revealing confidential notes, and who knows yet what the real story is. Jason (Black) Blair gets fired from the New York Times for fabrication. Judith (White) Miller, not only does not get fired for lying America into war, but she is going to get rich for going to jail to protect what is probably the
source of those lies. She may have got much of her
bogus information from the Office of Special Plans,
an outfit in the Pentagon set up by the war prince Rumsfeld, to deceive America into war. An undetermined amount of an indeterminate degree of the bogus info was not only coming from Chalabi, but may have originated
in Israel proper, and perhaps even the office of Sharon.
So is this what she may be protecting, and is this why she will never be fired, and is this why she is now going on the money-train, where she is insured riches for life? All of which if true, means the New York Times supports, shields, abets, promotes and covers up lying, treason, espionage, the trashing of international law, immoral war and a list should follow. So whose lied are they on?
10/12/05 My God we are idiots all — mustn't we be. Bush failing, falling down
sunk, gives the big terror drill again for the umpteenth time, such that even his dim brain has it memorized. And every time the story gets bigger, like a child's exaggeration — scared by a Chihuahua, then a poodle,
a Shepard then a pit bull, and finally a wolf. Suddenly we are fighting a war bigger than world war II, and now these cave men are going to take over France, Germany and even the good ole USA. But then what else does Bush have other than his rich stealing from the poor, if not outright grab-bag with his armies. And gee Walla! right on cue — a terrorist threat in the New York City subway, which no one really knows, if it is — if it isn't, and oh how convenient, a bomb threat against
the Washington Monument and the Rayburn Building. Dogs have more shame. Love to watch these newscasters have
to recite this nitwit nonsense with a straight face. They don't even get to snicker. Serves them right. And the media still looks at us straight in the eye —
deadpan.
10/10/05 Sad to say New York
Times, which is a rag for the rich and famous, and a shill for Israel and the ruling class, has essentially censored its on-line columnists with a pay wall. Who the hell is going to pay $8 per month for Paul Krugman or Maurine Dowd let alone the right/no/left/no .../ winger Thomas Friedman, even if the price of gas wasn't $3 a gallon? In affect they have censored them from the great wide internet. But not to worry just yet, the real journalists and opinion writers, the true investigative reporters, the honest ones — aren't allowed to work for the major and corporate capitalist media anyway. Fact is they might be suspect if they were allowed, because how much of the truth does the capitalist
media allow to be divulged in the first place?
Notice all those newspapers that require registration are pretty much right wing just the same. What — have to think you are some select person to have the privilege of signing up for their propaganda, dummy lists.
10/07/05 Is Bush or the
whole Republican Party racist? — of course they
are, although they don't know it, and could not know
it, because all Progressive Materialism is classist and
by extension racist. Everything natural does not produce excess and profit but only reproduces itself, and thus has no meaning, because it cannot explain its existence by elite distinction, and thus is of no worth. Worth is created by development (excess and profit) with the greatest development (perfection) as the greatest worth. Thus what is admired and sought after in the Progressive system is money, property, fame, perfect body, perfect model looks, the high ideals of vanity. The most
progressive are the capitalists who sell these ideals. Antithetical to these perfections are fat, ugly, dark skinned, old, stupid, poor, ill and otherwise unwanted circumstance, much of which may fit the situation of poor, minorities and black people. One can see that in
actuality ordinary black and brown skinned people are the opposite of the ideal, and thus must by the progressive definition be inferior, and thus is subconscious racism. It's inherent in the system.
10/05/05 Bush nominates a Supreme Court judge who has never been a judge. Fiction could not invent this. Its too rich, even for the Roman Empire. Fema director, Homeland Security, UN, Health and Welfare, or nearly every appointment Bush has ever made — all never had any experience, to say nothing of
Iraq. There must be a theme here. If people in his entourage actually had experience with the real world, they couldn't hold the ridiculous, fictional cartoon reality world view that they so feverishly believe in.
So naturally to be ideologically compatible with the morons that are the Bush cadre and his minions in the Republican Party, his appointees must be as ignorant
of reality as they are, and Bush must appoint imbeciles. Simple as that. Course don't hurt either, if the judge
of your own court case is your lawyer too. Don't have
to be all that bright to get away with murder.
10/03/05 Lynndie England the
Abu Ghraib prison guard got 3 years, a book deal, a movie contract, a 1 million advance and 2 years off for good behavior. The Ex-Tyco CEO Kozlowski got eight to 25 and will be out in three years for good tennis playing in fed med. Meanwhile a veterinarian was appointed to the director of the Office of Women's Health, apparently because women are dogs, fat as
pigs, foxy, mousy, must be called deer, and men are hen pecked. The 'Book of Virtues' by William 'Bill' Bennet will be reprinted to include the virtue of abortion for blacks to reduce the crime rate. Wonder what the crime rate would be reduced too, if all whites were aborted,
or better yet — if all future republicans were aborted?
09/30/05 If the Catholic Church
can instruct priests not to give the sacrament to a Catholic candidate for the US Presidency, essentially interfering in the affairs of sovereign nation and telling people how to vote, then the Catholic Church
and possibly Opus Dei could conceivably instruct four and possibly a fifth to come, Supreme Court Justices,
on how to rule on court decisions. One could say the United States has been taken over by the Vatican. How can you know? How can you tell? If they do one — they certainly would do the other, so superior are they in their superiority. A Catholic has got to be an idiot anyway, believing they are going to hell for not believing in what no one has ever seen or heard. The ultimate con game. Four maybe five Catholics on the Supreme Court, why not just call it deaf and dumb
justice. If the Catholic Church gets to intercede
in the affairs of foreign nations, affecting foreign citizens minding their own business, then perhaps
church business should be taxed on the wages of win.
09/28/05 US and perhaps most
democracies are a joke, especially when anybody can run for any office, no matter their conflicts of interests, no matter that they use the office solely for the personal gain of themselves, family, friends and alliances. The best way to rob a bank is to own it. Government officials are suppose to use government offices for the purposes of the people and good of
the whole. That is the purpose of government. However
government everywhere is infested with thieves that use the public treasury for their personal gain. It is the very philosophy of the US Republican Party, which is why one sees today the greatest transfer of public to private monies in the history of the world. Not good
to steal from your friends, but your enemies — that's a different story ain't it.
09/26/05 Guy named Richard (The
Marlboro Man) Pombo, US House Resources Committee, has gutted the Endangered Species Act. Course you know this guy is a gangster when Bush who — like all Mafioso
have nick names (Joe Bananas Bonnano) calls Pombo the Marlboro Man for his cowboy rancher persona. Turns out he is a real estate magnate. Turns out the endangered species act endangers his families ability to make a profit, cutting up farm land for developers. The guy loves freeways and want to have a couple built through his home town of Tracy, Ca. Course his family just happens to own the land on which the stealways would cross. Turns out this is just another one of those gangsters who uses public office for private gain
— like using disasters for private profit. Typical
of this type — property rights outweigh living rights. What is the value of a Pombo born yesterday
to a species born unique in the universe?
09/23/05 The doctrine of preemption that is currently the fashion of the Bush Administration, was wonderfully demonstrated by the attack on Pear Harbor by the Japanese in 1942. The attempt was to destroy the American fleet before it could come across the Pacific to engage Japan.
Currently the Bush administration has adopted this
same policy of preemption, including the preemptive use of nuclear weapons on terrorists. Well if they get to do it, doesn't anybody? Doesn't Korea, China or Iran get to preemptively bomb the US, if they think that the US is going to preemptively act against them. Doesn't everybody get to do it, including so-called terrorists, who feel that they are going to be bombed? Don't paranoids? Can't anybody play this game? The moronic arrogance of these white hats, who think that they are the only ones in the world with the right to use force, death and destruction on anybody of their choosing. They are so pathetically stupid that no one really counts except for themselves.
09/21/05 With all the
stuff that the US produces, its electronics, weaponry, entertainment or empire — is it surprising that they cannot produce a single orator? The only orators in
America are or have been black, and they have nothing to say that white America wants to hear, and thus you don't hear them. So the only oration of the day comes from two Englishmen, who debate the war and US foreign policy, Galloway and Hitchens. Not only are they both of foreign extraction, but both either are or were lefties. Think further of Castro and Chavez. The problem with orators in America is that they would usually have something to
say, and this something would probably not be anything that the rulers of America would want to hear. Why is there not a single great orator from the right, that would certainly be fully supported by the powers that be? Maybe an orator, and especially a debater, has to
be smart, have command of the language, be able to think on their feet. Maybe they have to be intelligent. So of course they are not going allow oration from the left, and perhaps the right cannot produce anyone smart enough.
09/19/05 There is a mathematical
phenomenon known to some as The Computer Vote Effect. This causative is that never in the known history of American computer voting, has a computer error not favored the Republican Party. One would think that
this phenomenon would be studied by the eminent mathematicians of the day, and that mathematical treatises would be written on the subject; that PHD thesis papers would be based on this Theory of Improbability. One would think that this phenomenon,
at least as strange as mystery vortexes found around
the country, would be in Ripley's, 'Believe It Or Not', or found on the television show 'Stranger Than Depiction'. But no — this numerical marvel, equivalent to the mystery of the ratio of the Bush
II, IQ, to the job he holds, goes strangely, with the
requisite exceptions, unrecognized. If a vote is cast
in cyberspace and no one sees it, is it made a vote? Perhaps this Computer Voter Effect is relegated to the world of Buddhist mysticism, and not to that of science at all.
09/02/05 Oh they hate Chavez,
the Robin Hood of the poor. They hate all populists and
leaders for the peasants. The reason they have tried to kill Castro for 30 years is because he threw out the big US corporations and mafia, that kept fascist dictators in power to support their interests; and because he has the nerve to educate the poor, and give free health care, and attempts to impose social equality. He actually has the unmitigated gall to practice all of America's ideals, which in America, as most all know by now, is against the law. You can and are required to espouse these ideals, and will be ostracized if you do not — but if you should actually attempt to practice these ideals — then this is punishable by death.
09/14/05 About an hour after the
Loma Prieta earthquake of '89, drove across the city of San Francisco, into the deepest downtown and back, to check on the safety of a relative. There was no power and all the streetlights were out. It was stop and go
at every non-working stop light, with no traffic backup whatsoever. Pull to the light - stop and go a block — and so on, downtown and back, traversing at least
50 intersections. Traffic was only backed up a half block and more at two places. That was where civilian volunteers were out directing traffic like they were saving the city. How full of themselves, all pumped up with civic duty and pride — they were, heroes for
perhaps the first time in their lives, not realizing that all they were doing was creating an otherwise,
not existing mess. The self more important than the many, and the type of person now running the US.
09/12/05 Democracy will have what it must have, a Supreme Court dominated by morons who will soon be deciding cases based not on the constitution but the Bible. The majority of Americans, as is true anywhere, are dumb as dirt. That's why
they vote for Bush, the most moronic president in US, or perhaps any other history as well. Bush is one of their own, the blind leading the blind. It is democracy that the Americans extol — that everyone no matter
who, should be able to vote. And as the democracy would have it, it is fitting that the dumb have a member of their own peer group as leader of the nation, or that the stupid represent the dumb. So now Bush will get to
ensconce two this same kind, on the Supreme Court for
the next 30 years. But that is democracy and the way this system works. Course it was never envisioned that a propaganda matrix owned by the stupid would replace the educational system, as the primary political information context of the people. Stupid is as stupid was.
09/09/05 Will the reconstruction of New Orleans follow the same pattern as Iraq. Bring in — all out of state Corporations. Do not hire or allow the locals to contribute in any way, as contractors, labor or decision making. Will the
biggest reconstruction contracts go to friends or the Bush Administration? Will a new city charter be written by federal occupiers, mandating the city to become more or less privatized? Will all federal aid mandate that for all formally public services be privatized, like garbage, water, street and road maintenance, power and health? Will twenty-first century carpetbaggers, government and private, pour into the city pulling
every scam imaginable, to steal the property of the former residents and turn the city into upscale enclave
for the rich and famous? Will former residents be paid to perform in parades, play blues, and make trinkets for the tourists while forced to live in shanty towns outside the city?
09/07/05 Absolutely everything this Bush administration does is a charade. It is all about appearance, pomp, and show. Every decision they make is not about reality, but about appearance. It is
a fake government. And when crisis appears, they are more concerned with facade than they are with the crisis. This example of crisis management in New
Orleans is exactly what they have done in Iraq,
since the inception of the war. Wonder why there is
an insurgency in Iraq after what you have seen in the wake of Katrina? It is a phenomenon typical of the rich. They have more than anything else, their elite image to protect, and never experiencing reality the way the common do, can not know how the ordinary world works.
Castro of Cuba and Chavez of Venezuela have offered
aid to the US. No way can this administration accept
it, even if the very existence of the nation was dependent on it, because it would be an embarrassment
to them and nothing more. They cannot accept friendship from the enemies against which they define themselves, and which give them the justification for their exploitive dodges.
09/05/05 Homeland Security had
a plan to evacuate New Orleans. Its been classified Top Secret now. Won't get the details for 30 years. But it has been divulged by anonymous sources, that the plan was faith-based. The plan was that the people without cars would evacuate New Orleans by walking on the water.
But it didn't work for some obvious reason, and when this was realized, they made an emergency call to Pat Robertson, for his excellent faith-based advice. He concluded that the evacuees did not have enough faith.
Thus it can be concluded that their predicament was their own fault, and that's the real reason they have thousands stranded without food or water in New Orleans for days and days. As far as the president is concerned, it has been apparent for some time that every effort is made and no challenge is to great, to protect this moron from any and all remnants of reality. And for the first
time since Bush became president, some national mass media reporters are sounding finally (but probably only briefly) like real reporters.
09/02/05 The most inept
administration in US history (see Iraq). The reason is
— that they and all their like minded pikers are in it for themselves, first and foremost, with all the accordant graft, greed and incompetence; and after that it is all show and pretense, and pretending to know what they are doing, although when it comes to the public sector — what can they know? They don't believe in it, socialism ya know. The FEMA, or Federal Energy Management Agency used to handle emergencies and did fairly well, at least in recent years, but no more — now FEMA is run by the Bush administration under auspices of the Homeland Security Department, and apparently the results of this new big top, show time could be seen on TV, as thousands of people sit at the New Orleans convention center without food or water for days, and this homeland inferiority cannot seem to be able to get food or water to them, although it is a simple matter of helicoptering or trucking in supplies. Seen any terrorists lately?
08/31/05 They always show
that North Korean pageantry, which looks like the best synchronized stadium formations ever done, a wonder to behold — that is if it was the US, in say an Olympic event, they would never get over bragging about how great they are; but because it is countries like North Korea, Iran, Cuba or Venezuela, all socialist by the way, it is portrayed as pure propaganda — this when done by Koreans is oooooh scareeeeeee — brain washing — see how mindless they are cause they all act in concert on orders from on high, like robotic communism. But oh no, never when it is the US foot ball Super Bowl (always tacky), or any College football halftime show featuring similar formations — no then it is just Mom and Apple Pie — red white and blue. What is mindless is this kind of US media propaganda
— I robot.
08/29/05 'Moody's Investors Service cut its ratings on the unsecured debt of Ford and General Motors to junk status on Wednesday, following earlier downgrades by other rating agencies and removing any remaining doubt about the two carmakers' fate.' Well, well — before one, so inclined, crows about a failure of these US gas guzzling capitalist corporations, or the wising up of the public — remember United Airlines supposedly went broke
— but no, it was all a scam to declare bankruptcy, get drastic concessions from the unions and dismantle the worker pension programs. The US automakers made
tons on the SUV's, and now that gasoline alley has gone upscale, it might be a perfect time to let the workers and tax payers pay in part, for the transition to the new oil economy to come — possibly less of it and more expensive. Buy American.
08/26/05 Even both the cops and
robbers had manners, at least in the Britain portrayed in books and film. In a Basil Rathbone, Sherlock Holmes film from the forties, the robbers are as polite as the gentry, even though they might kill you. In a Sherlock story by Conan Doyle — the bad guy when caught — says I am a gentleman and I give you my word that there is no need to manacle me, for I will not try to escape. Right you are sir, please come with me. Americans were never big on manners. They've been too busy killing Indians and nature, keeping slaves, fighting foreign devils, communism, terrorism and now extremist view points, all the while Richie Rich takes it to the bank. Evil deserves no manners, and if anything the last thing
we need is to be is civil with evil doers — don't ja know.
08/12/05 Priests, Reverends and
Rabbis — they all want your money. Course it is not
for them — well maybe a little or a lot, everybody got to live. No — not for them — but for the cause — a cause greater than themselves of course — the cause of the great and glorious good. And
what is the good but what is contrasted with the bad. The good is the battle against hunger, tyranny, germs, uncleanliness, unsightliness, the devil, atheism, terrorism and now extremism. The thing is — you are not going to give them any money unless there is that evil — and the greater evil and the more perilous the threat, the more you are going to give, maybe even
your life. It's the Progressive system, on which all modern capitalist society is based. Better soap to combat the evil of germs, better war to combat the evil of terrorists, better Priests, Reverends and Rabbis to combat the devil himself. Please give from the heart
for such a good cause — and save your sold.
08/10/05 With all due respect
for the dead, or for one who seemingly had little respect for the living, Peter Jennings probably was a real nice guy, and maybe once even a real reporter, but as an anchor for national ABC nitwit news, he has been nothing but a shill, a propagandist, a mouthpiece for the corporations, the Right Wing, capitalist ideology, progressive materialism or private elitism, and to make sure the power elites in his America, hear only what they insist on hearing and damned to the rest.
After all — if they don't, they are fired or shoved out like Phil Donahue and Dan Rather. No doubt these present day news readers take comfort in the oxymoron, that if we don't play ball we won't get access. Access
to what? To questions and answers predetermined by the subjects of their reporting. Without access — might be a prerequisite to real news — boohoo.
08/08/05 Progressive is when
content is created to correspond to an agenda as an end result. The content is less important than the product produced, which in most cases in America is money. Communist art was always considered the worst in the world because it (content) had to conform to the ideals of the state (agenda). In school it is called dumbing down. The students are considered too deficient or not interested in strict standards of education (content), so in order to reach them (agenda) — teach them comic books. That will garner interest. The kids get dumber, and when they have kids, the system will have
be dumbed-down even further, to interest and reach them — and so on. Thus we have the state of today, where mass culture (content) has been dumbed-down to sex,
violence, vulgarity, meanness, humiliation or complete fantasy. For capitalism the purpose of content is generate an agenda of private profit. For socialism the purpose of content is to produce a quality of life for the community as a whole, which is to the detriment of the elite few.
08/05/05 'Be prepared to attack Iran if there is another 9/11', so say certain unnamed sources deep in the Pentagon. What makes this so scary is that the last 9/11 was probably a Cheney operation. He was running a simulated attack on high-rises in
New York on the same day at the same time. So if
these unnamed sources are correct, we can conclude that Cheney will stage another 9/11 as a pretext to bomb the begeebers out of Iran. This guy as loony as they come. They advocate pre-emptive nuclear strikes for themselves, but decry the same use by some terrorist doing it to them. Nothing wrong with nuking people,
so long as it is the good against the bad. Is this the criminally insane or what? This guy maybe so
loony he might stage a dirty bomb strike in US,
so they can establish the use of nukes on others,
as a common strategic practice. Why else build nuke bunker busters? What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander. But he will be in his secret bunker miles below ground, saving himself from himself, but never
mind the rest.
08/03/05 The so called founding fathers of the US Constitution must be rolling over in their graves. And what is funny is that all the endless hours of indoctrination of the American say, and its continuously flaunted superiority over the last decades: right of trial, a lawyer, the presumption of innocence, the evils of torture and war on a whim, the respect for
law both domestic and international, truth, honesty and the American way, and all the gushing of American history, and all the nonsense US soldiers have died for; and in a blink of the eye the Bush administration has thrown it all out, and this crime is now completely ignored and forgotten by this same high highfalutin, esteemed, American establishment, and its mass media which says nothing, nada, nohow, nil. How do nations fall into fascism? Don't need a history book.
08/01/05 Has anybody in America
ever seen a Russian space ship? Has one ever been seen blasting off? Has one ever seen one docking with the space station? And if the Russians have to come to the
rescue to bring the US astronauts home (they seem to be keeping the space station operating) will they show it on TV? Of course not — never in America. Those who control the American media are the most petty, two-bit, self-centered, insecure, selfish, myopic, child minded, new rich sissy fascists to ever crawl out from under the rock of ages. If it ain't made in America it don't exist. And then they broadcast this pettiness around
the world — but you know they hate America for its freeeeeeeedom. Heil Hatred!
07/29/05 Seems like the 'Left' ought to get over trotting out right wing Looney Tunes every time they say something that the Left agrees with, like they were some kind of pie in the sky authority, because if someone 'so conservative' says it — it must be right. Like featuring a war criminal like McNamara because he compares Iraq with Vietnam or
McCain because he is against the administration policy on detentions. These people are criminals and since they will never be prosecuted for their crimes, why give criminals credit for anything. They ought to be in jail. Then as well, it is progressive shtick — what they do, using someone or something for one's own agenda.
07/27/05 Got to love these terrorist tales. Four guys on 7/7 blow themselves
up, the first suicide bombers in Europe by the way,
in the most perfect scenario without error
— with incredibly powerful explosives, while the mastermind escaped to Egypt — no Pakistan —
no a park in London, where he left an exploded bomb, apparently walking off and forgetting it. And what may be the same gang, it is now reported does it again, only this time they don't blow themselves up, they can't get a single bomb to explode, but only the detonators. Of the 52 bodies in the 7/7 bombing, only four could be identified from the train explosions, and conveniently, three of those were the bombers. The suicide bombers all
carried identification which conveniently led to the bomb factory, which of course they wanted everyone to find, no doubt hoping to get featured posthumously, in 'Bomb Making Monthly'. Ah yes — what to believe?
Reality is always stranger than fiction.
07/25/05 For those who expect justice for Carl Rove and his co-conspirators — don't hold your breath. The people behind him have
been around for at least 60 years, have killed presidents, carried out illegal wars, conducted
terror campaigns, orchestrated the murder of myriads, and committed countless crimes mostly on foreigners. Only a half dozen have ever been convicted of crimes of technicalities, and of those, all have been pardoned
by this same gang — like Ford or the Bush Family.
To suddenly think that justice is going to jump up out of the grave is like whistling past the graveyard.
Even if Rove were to be found guilty of something, necessary for appearance sake, they might throw him out of the game, but like a baseball manager, he would then continue to signal in plays from the club house steps.
07/22/05 If you are a lefty,
a socialist or even a Democrat — then America is
not for you. Ever wonder why no universal health coverage, few unions, highest drug costs and medical care in the world, war after war, highest defense spending, a moron media, the agencies of government more to protect business from consumers than consumers from business. The United States is owned operated by factory owners more broadly called industrialists. They control and own the politicians, the media, the courts, and most of the agencies of government. Give it up. This latest concierge lawyer, a Skull & Bones appointed Supreme Court Justice, is just another agent of the oligarchy and empire, and it is now the media's job to sell him
to the public — like they do prescription drugs.
07/19/05 (Rerun)
05/17/04 William Westmoreland when commander of US troops in Viet Nam, and while touring there to inspect the body count, which was an important US aspect of the war, while inspecting piles of dozens of bodies of dead Vietnamese, had this to say — paraphrasing — 'these people just don't have any respect for human life', meaning apparently that they would sacrifice their lives to US firepower and body counts unendingly, and thus unlike we who kill them by the thousands, have no respect for human life. Ironic isn't it.
07/18/05 Joe McCarthy was
a communist witch hunter for any number of years, attacking new deal democrats, Hollywood, politicians, even the army, and all the while the media was mute. They let him get away with it, the same way as of
today, with this present pro-capitalist gang in the White House. Perhaps besides fear, they let him get
away with it because he was anti communist and anti socialist. Maybe they let him go till it was accomplished what they wanted — a total and complete anti communist, anti socialist sentiment throughout the land. Now had Joe McCarthy ran the 'House of Un-American Activities Committee' against capitalists, he and his committee would never have gotten 30 seconds of media attention, compared to the weeks and months of TV coverage as was. He would have been so buried, his relatives would have had to attend his funeral in the Antarctic.
07/15/05 Hurrah, hurrah — Judith Miller, New York Times correspondent and war criminal is in jail. She ought to be for her activities, as a Bush administration shill and propagandist,
promoting an illegal war with totally fallacious and bogus information. And now she is a media hero for protecting sources. Maybe the same sources that fed the big lie, the media lapped up like the dogs they are. But noooo — she is in jail apparently, not for protecting sources, since she didn't publish any article outing an undercover CIA operative, but perhaps rather for protecting one or more of the gang of felons in the White House, from what should but will never be — the charge of treason for outing a CIA agent.
07/13/05 They can give you any
excuse they want — like it is a Republican Congress and there is nothing anybody can do. The fact is Bush and his minions have broken countless laws both domestic and international, and they lie with almost every breath. This is the fact. And because it is so, the conclusion is — that the country is run by a lawless ruling clique, and there is nothing that can be done about it, because they are protected by its rogue masters of media, and apparently a system of government,
that cannot enforce law, but only propaganda.
07/11/05 The war in Iraq is lost. The war in Afghanistan is lost. The Russians
didn't do well in Afghanistan. They didn't lose overnight. Took a few years, same as it will be again with the US. This must be the first US president to begin and lose two wars. The US will eventually be driven out of both Afghanistan and Iraq. It is only
a matter of how long and how many people are killed.
It is like a body count clock that is ticking to
defeat.
07/08/05 It's all the news, bombing on London trains kill 50 wound hundreds. They will go on and on in the west, with mundane analysis
and ever more commentary on the shock and awe. Earlier in the week the US bombed and killed 17 civilians in
Afghanistan, and what did the media have to say about that? How many civilians has the US killed in Iraq,
and what do they have to say about that? How many civilian Palestinians have the Israelis killed and what do they have to say about that? — nothing and on and on. When its Them doing the killing its the end of civilization. When its Us that's doing the killing — well there's always an excuse for that. For this there is no other conclusion than that the human life of Them, is not only not worth mentioning — but worth nothing at all. The question then might also be posed, is any life worth anything for These then, or is it all just the show of shock and awe?
07/06/05 The red/blue state thing is really a matter of class. The blue state people are of a higher class as a generality, more educated, sophisticated, like differences and celebrate diversity, like foreign food, tend to live in intermixed neighborhoods, tend to be more tolerant, know more about or have some acquaintance with others different than themselves. The red staters are lower class. They
like everything white, their people, their bread, their God, religion and music, their government and business, their races — shunning difference, diversity, all one vanilla flavor. They think it is elite, but it is only the stupidity of incestuous exclusivity. If it ain't white its black, and black of course is the color of darkness — and they are afraid of the dark.
07/04/05 Whether the new
president of Iran was a hostage taker is irrelevant. What will never be said is that the US & Britain overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran circa '53, installed the Shaw and secret police, who persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and murdered anyone opposed to this oil monarchy for 30 years, and then shielded the Shaw from extradition to Iran, in which
the hostages as enablers of this evil, were used as negotiating pawns for the Shaw's extradition; and used this hostage situation, without ever once mentioning the above facts, for anti-Iranian propaganda aimed at Jimmy Carter (a Democrat), the election of Ronald Regan, and are still using it to this very minute. When history is completely denied by nearly every agent of the US media, universal in its false presentation of past and present reality — how can they all be agreed upon the same false premises, except by some secret central authority like a ministry of propaganda.
07/01/05 Used to be there were
specific laws, that made America different and people proud of it. Didn't torture, the Nazis did that. Couldn't take your property for committing a crime
— now have only be accused, and have to sue to get your property back, if they left you any money. Police couldn't enter your home and search in secret — that was communist Russia. Judges didn't remove jurors until they got the verdict they wanted, like show trials in police states. Had to be charged with a crime and couldn't be held indefinitely on secret or no evidence, like any 2-bit dictatorship. Of course the biggie was the government couldn't take your property and give it to someone else. Gone, gone, gone. The US Supreme Court
has gutted the entrails of the American promised land and given it over to what amounts to state sanctioned thievery by the elite. Welcome to modern enlightenment.
06/29/05 Iraq is a mess. Why
is it an unmitigated disaster? Don't have to listen to hours of paid liars before congress or the media. It is so — so simple. They invaded Iraq to build permanent military bases, for oil and Israel and for American
corporations to clean up on reconstruction. Had they let the Iraqis rebuild Iraq, probably wouldn't have the mess they have. Foreigners come into their country, and take over everything telling the locals — kiss off we're taking over all this rebuilding, and by the way we are going to give you a democracy, so be happy with that, and you get to decide what government you want —
so long as it is not socialist or theocratic. Iraq is
a good example of the right wing. They are really stupid. They are so stupid they have to be fascist
— where force the only means to support their irrationality.
06/27/05 Nature is true socialism, the system as benefit to the whole —
no fences no private property, just eat and be eaten, wander anywhere about and take only what you need. Nature the government of the all, yes true socialism — and everyone relatively equal before nature.
Then you have the worthless people — who have to privatise it and own it — to give themselves worth. Then up come the fences, the walls and out come the weapons, the wars, the masters and slaves, the elites and peons called civilization. Then they create the one true God to sanction the whole nasty, bloody con game, and everyone is equal in the I of God.
06/24/05 People all worried about the US supreme court. There is nothing to worry about. It could not get any worse than it already is.
It is a joke and a laughing stock. Law does not matter. They just pretty much make it up as they go along. Home
grown and used marijuana applies under the interstate commerce clause because "allowing people to grow their own medicine would inevitably undermine Congress' desire to stop them from doing so". That congress doesn't want them too is interstate commerce. The 5th amendment of the US constitution — "nor shall private property
be taken for public use, without just compensation.", now reads — private property shall be taken for private use with some form of compensation, provided
the expropriated property benefits the community as whole in some manner. Any developer now may only need
to bribe city officials to expropriate private property, so long as that dispossessed property benefits the community in some manner. Obviously a happy and enriched developer is a benefit to the community as a whole. It would be deleterious to the social welfare if we had grumpy developers clogging up social fabric. They might start robbing all the right people.
