06/22/05 Pseudo-conservatives like to stand on principle. It is so easy, just simple rules to follow. Nope — don't have to think much, don't have to deal with the real thing. That's my rule. Principle is great for really stupid people. Thus in
the spontaneity of real life situations, as anything unexpected which might cause one to have to think or know something about where they are — Walla principle to the rescue. Yes principle rescues one from having to face reality that contradicts one's what — principles. And in the end principle is a substitute for self. The principled person doesn't need an actual thinking self, when they have principle to tell them what to do. Which is all well and good until they
arrive upon a situation not covered by their principles, in which case they are usually seen as a nerd.
06/20/05 Interesting that the
problem for Bush et al and Downey Street Memos comes out of British Intelligence. You'd think that the intelligence service of a country that not that long
ago ruled the world would be able to keep a secret.
Who is leaking these memos that are the paper trail
that with an honest US congress instead of a nest of
vipers — could impeach Bush? Is it a rogue late night janitor? Would think an intelligence service such as this — could prevent leaks of this magnitude, especially, the first one timed just before the British
and Blair election. Would have to theorize that maybe these leaks are authorized by the British ruling class, to start the process maybe, of bringing down Bush in particular and Skull and Bones in general. Probably the damage that these Bush renegades have done to the status
quo, that was probably quite beneficial to the ruling classes, for instance in Britain, has been catastrophic and getting worse all the time.
06/17/05 Just a conspiracy theory, like government services or business products where millions of people conspire to build roads or make washing machines — must only be a coincidence that the state of Florida has a governor whose family belongs to Skull & Bones. And it is only a coincidence that the
other crucial state in the fixed elections of 2004 was Ohio, and the governor of that state is Robert Taft whose father was, and whose great grandfather was an original founder of — what — the same Skull
& Bones. No one believes in conspiracy theories, and
no one seems to have heard anything about this one.
So what is the sound of a falling tree in the forest if there is no one there to hear it? Not hearing is not believing.
06/16/05 The big news story of the day is John Conyers having an unauthorized hearing on the Downing Street Memos, and being banned to the basement of the Capital of democracy Building to hold it. Then he will march to the White House to submit hundreds of thousands of Emails from US citizens to who — the door man maybe. So begin the day knowing going to have fun watching the cable news to see what
distractions they will come up with — and low and behold we are watching a red SUV on the 101 in Ventura county, California live chase, carried nationally by two CNN channels and Fox. So far not on CSPAN. And
conveniently they have captured another big terrorist in Iraq just today. Wonder if they have a terrorist locker somewhere that they store these guys in for just such
occasions.
06/16/05 Thomas Friedman ('Can't we just all get along.') columnist for the New York Times, used to like — maybe still does, to go before pseudo-conservatives and take their point of view and then go before liberals and take theirs. Apparently
he's got to be liked. But since 9/11 he has become distinctly pseudo-conservative and loves the war in
Iraq for democracy, and which is conveniently a good thing for Israel. But as of late people not getting
along over there so well, so he has proposed doubling the number of US troops in Iraq. Course won't see him volunteering though he looks young and healthy enough. Just another hunerd thousand troops and he can be right and vindicated and get back to the way it used to be — him working both sides of his mouth and everybody likes him.
06/15/05 Ever notice some people
can't say two sentences without referring to themselves seven times, like I, me, mine, and even we, so long as they are a big part of the we. Occurs that maybe this is not so much because they are just full of themselves, or
have an ego like a Nazi, but maybe because they are just stupid. Maybe they simply can't relate to anyone else, don't really know other people, so really don't know anything about them, and thus can't have much to say about them, leaving them with only what they do know
— which is themselves. Maybe a good description of the American character in general, as it relates to the world. Of how much interest can the riffraff be to
a superior or chosen people.
06/13/05 You know it is a frame-up when they arrest a terrorist cell and just
by coincidence — what, Bush is stumping around from town call to town wall, pushing the Patriot Act. Do they break up terrorist cells everyday? These people who direct the justice or national security apparatus or whatever they call it — are progressive materialists, which means anything or anyone that
does not correspond to their Christian, Republican, Capitalist, progressive, 'America first' ideals
are not worth anything, and thus they can be used
for the greater good — in this case, to make it easier for them to frame more people, to serve the greater good, which is their good. Evil people are so convenient to the ambitions of people who will save us from them. They got to have 'em and if they didn't have 'em — would need to make um.
06/10/05 The US is now
spending half as much money on "defense" as the rest of the world combined. Used to be the robbery of the US tax payers by the defense industry was against a real non-enemy like Russia with real nuclear weapons. The moron general — asked how the war in Iraq was going, either began or finished every sentence with 'The war on terror'. The question is what is it? All these trillions for some guys somewhere that live in caves maybe? That has to be the biggest con of the millennium, a present of the oligarch media. With the kind of money involved, it must be a war on anybody and everybody in the world who does not like the US. Why so many people don't like
the US, so as Bush being protected by AWAQ'S and Navy carriers? Maybe it's 'cause not so many like gangsters, criminals, thieves, murderers, tortures, extortionists, terrorists, sell-outs, invaders, kidnappers, and eeegad — need a Thesaurus to properly describe the real terror — the US 'war on the world'.
06/08/05 Now we find out most
of the Democratic party leadership are ruling class Republicans — by their Denial of Dean. We needed to know that before they rearrange the deck chairs with the likes of Hillary Clinton. Dean calls the Republicans names and the dems don't like dat. Dean tells the truth but that's against the law in the District of Columbia, as everybody knows by now. The question is becoming — is there a single true Democrat in the US congress or senate? Turns out there is not a single liberal on the Supreme Court — not one. Guess will find out. Only takes one Democrat to introduce a letter of inquiry as the start of an investigation and impeachment of Bush the barbarian. So we should know then, if there is even one true Democrat in the District of Columbia and this so-called liberal democracy.
06/06/05 Too bad about Nancy Pelosi. She gave a talk to the Israel/American spy lobby, AIPAC.
She is one of the best leftist politicians in the country, but at the same time apparently a member of
the Israel Knesset, as is most of the US Congress by their voting records. Now she thinks the greatest
threat to Israel is Iran. Think she is going to vote against anything that encourages war on Iran? Not on your life — nor nary any other national politician, now including Hillary Clinton. Giving the benefit of the doubt, maybe they are between a rock and a hard place. Maybe the death sentence of a US politician is to be honest about Israel. Maybe time to get over this US democracy sentimentality. These legislators are owned outright by the oligarchy, the corporations and even
a foreign government. Maybe the internet political contributors should quit giving money to the sold
out Democrats, and find their own political candidates
— some honest ones.
06/03/05 Think you have seen
torture at Abu Gharib or Camp Xray, wait to you see
the tortured logic from Scalia and his cohorts on the Subseem Court concerning marijuana and interstate commerce. Will put even George Will to shame. For them marijuana, the devil's weed, must be illegal no matter what the law or how the people democratically vote on it. The case is — can home grown marijuana for strictly personal use be regulated by the government, which by law it can only regulate as interstate
commerce. So what can the court's reasoning be except that home growing affects interstate commerce because
it reduces the need and market for illegal cross border importation. If the court rules against private ownership and use, it will mean that the US congress
can regulate any private activity, such as the repair
of one's own car or any household repair could be
made illegal and prohibited by the government, since
these activities may have a negative impact on interstate economics. No doubt a Scalia opinion will stipulate that this marijuana ruling should apply in only this one case and no others.
06/01/05 Schwarzenegger the populist of the pulp fiction politics doesn't spend a lot of time at the state house actually being a govenor. One dimensional liners don't carry very far in political
discussions. He would much rather primp and promenade from private jet to limosine man-rover, on the money raking circuit — the rationale being the money makes him do it — you bet. But these days he doesn't seem to spend much time even in the state. He has been chased out and goes where he doesn't have nurses, teachers, cops and fireman picketing and protesting at every poster boy parade. He seems to spend more time out of state than in. So he gets to primp and prance where no one knows him as the politician he ain't, and only as the celluloid muscle man crusading against the cartoon drivel of evil.
05/30/05 Of course Bolton
should be the US United Nations guy. This thug represents everything the Bush administration is and stands for. He is a liar, a cheat, a bully and worse.
He makes sure the facts fit the Bush administration ideology no matter the reality or the means. This UN representative should represent who these people are
in the light of day, where everyone can see him.
Why should they have some stealth black hat, who seems to be something he is not, all the while double dealing and back stabbing, unnoticed as if the US media notices anything anyway. 'Sides — if you are against this gang of saboteurs — what better than to have a dullard like Bolton, to discredit every bogus claim on honesty, integrity, multilateralism or cooperation that the US propaganda machine would
have the world believe.
05/27/05 Crime is legal in America, not for the little guy, the dope smoker, the comb in pocket bank robber — the jails are filled with them. No — crime in America is not legal for the robbers of banks, but for the owners of banks, as
it should be, when the government is controlled by the criminal class. The system is rife with rigged fees by every class of economic entity such as bank cards, finance and mortgage companies. For instance they made real paper money a non-valid means of exchange, forcing people to use credit cards, for instance to rent cars or even a roof to sleep under. To have a credit card one may have to sign a statement that the terms of the card can be changed at any time for any reason. Then they proceed to rob their patrons with usury rates of interest and nit/pic fees of a thousand whats. The streets of American are not paved with gold but with stoled.
05/25/05 Thank God for Turner Classic Movies. Good old black and white — or color movies even, slow, relaxed, usually with great ambiance - before the blight of the monster modern corporate media. Modern American television with its hyper quick flashing cuts make one tense, perhaps hypertensive even, has got to be unhealthy and probably gives people hypertension. Watching this subliminal fireworks display, akin to the bombing of Baghdad has got to
make people sick. But with all the drug advertising on TV — might one wonder, how much of this hyperactive computer generated flash works is meant to sell drugs
to medicate the hypertension created. What perfect capitalism — create the conditions that promote
the sale of what your profits are derived from.
05/23/05 What's the difference
between Clinton — 4 years of media attacks for sex, while Bush with a proven record of uncountable crimes
— lying, deceit, war crimes, kidnapping, murder or torture gets off Scott free. The difference — Bush is oligarchy and Clinton is not. Like Pavlovian response — one bell for untouchables and five bells for ruling class, doesn't matter what crimes Bush commits,
it is not crime to the oligarchy. The Bush family — from support for the Nazis to Contra and Middle East Wars is to them the fight against communism, socialism, the working classes, social welfare and the protection and promotion of the ruling classes the world over. The American media's first and foremost loyalty is in the interests of the American oligarchy. Whatever the inane moron Bush does — they are obligated to protect him.
05/20/05 Michael Isikoff of
Newsweek must be about the closest thing one gets to CIA in media. But my how they eat their own. It was Isikoff who when the Pope was going to Cuba and all the media was there for maybe the first time in US history a profile of Cuba, Isikoff breaks the Clinton/Lewinsky story and all the network reporters rush home. What timing. Was it Isikoff who continuously published secret grand jury testimony to the public, fed to him
by Ken Starr, against the law — well maybe in law school anyway, to constantly embarrass and bring down Clinton? Sorry Mike we need a fall guy here. This Koran in the toilet thing is an embarrassment to us and you've got to take one for the team. But hey — we'll make up to you and give you the next big tabloid, political character assassination to come down the hype.
05/18/05 Bush's scenic bike
ride was not interrupted during the wayward plane
threat while the White House, Capital building and various agencies were evacuated — meaning they didn't tell him. Wonder what else they don't tell — do they tell him anything? The fourteen minutes of him reading to a class during the attack of 9/11, we have only their word that they told him. Maybe they didn't tell him at all. Maybe they don't tell him much. Maybe he is so dumb he can't be told much especially, in an emergency. Maybe they are afraid of what he might do
if he were told of a real crisis. Maybe Cheney runs the presidency while Bush masters the circus. Maybe Cheney runs the presidency for Skull & Bones or some such
ruling class agenda.
05/16/05 All monotheism is fascist. One God, one savior, one elite, one chosen people, one means of salvation, one way. One God overrides nationality, overrides government, overrides the individual, overrides all disagreement. Yes — very appealing to the simple. Everything would be good if we all thought the same way — no strife, conflict, crime or war. All would be resolved in the unified agreement of the One. However non-agreement
is punishable by anything from the fires of hell to religious war. That's why there needs to be a separation between church and state, and the church cannot be allowed to control government. In fact — these
people as simpleton fascists, should probably, in a democratic world, not even be allowed to vote, since they vote for God, Christ, Mohamed, whoever — or those purporting to represent the dead.
05/13/05 Perhaps the reason for so much crime in America, the greatest per capita in the world by far, is the absence of a milieu of aesthetics and quality community life. Community in America is television, which has become so sicko, it is a crime in itself. The absence of community quality of life is mostly the product of progressive corporate capitalism, who have replaced the historic America built on quality, ambiance, environment, from the old railroads and Victorian railway stations to beautiful department stores, and replaced it with franchise fast and cheap everything, with ugly, sterile, cheap, low class, disgusting, vile, plastic, unfeeling, alienating malls and industrial everything. Even the right wing pseudo conservatives have realized something is wrong - 'it was better in the fifties' - but blame themselves and their corporate masters? - naw, they blame the hippies.
05/11/05 In Florida a bill is pending that would allow students to sue teachers they believe are not respecting their beliefs by what they teach. The US right wing does not like PBS, because it expresses views they do not agree with, when actually it is just too educated for them. The uneducated in general use simple, fixed, singular easily understandable standards of human behavior — inflexible and intolerant of anything complicated and out of the sphere of their limited understanding. In Russia they arrested
and murdered anyone thought to be educated. In Cambodia the Pol Pot regime arrested and murdered anyone with glasses indicating they were educated. The problem for these types is educated people would never agree with their simplistic, singular, black and white uneducated
perspective of the human condition. Thus for instance
US Christians must stifle education to make it reflect their biblical simplicities.
05/09/05 The rich, middle and educated classes champion the American Fourth Estate
or the supposed watchdog media. Now that it is painfully clear that the media industry is no more than propaganda and sales hype, where are these glad handin' champions of truth and justice? Take a critical look at any revolution and what one will see is that the economically well off types always side with fascism, so long as it is in their economic interest and they remain safe. Government is the back bone of business and when the government goes fascist so will business, and so too the rich, middle and educated classes, and the Fourth Estate itself. They — in their leisure, when nothing is on the line, can tout their romantic idealisms, like the free, 'keep 'em honest', watchdog press, until push comes to shove. Then they will tout fascism.
05/06/05 'No Child Left Behind'
is pretty much just a scam for the three big educational text book corporations and private education interests, perpetrated by one of the great crime syndicates of the twentieth century — the Republican Party. Three Corporations print and sell the tests, and as a bonus they will supply materials for test study, promising
to secure better results. Washington mandated profits. Schools failing the tests are punished by having their funding diverted to private education companies and charter schools. Talk about an offer the public school system can't refuse. And then exactly who controls the content of the tests — which is of course a great deal of what must be taught in the schools. Must be standardized mind control. And the next scam is mandated
psychiatric testing for the drug companies. Capitalism at its finest efficiency.
