05/04/05 Senate votes 99 to
0 for a further 80 billion for Iraq. To zero — is this not the definition of a dictatorship. Every liar and thief gets promoted. The torture overlords are vindicated. Yellow cake treason in the White House
goes un-prosecuted. Murder on the battlefield goes unpunished. Every truth is a lie and every failure is a success. Who you going to vote for? There apparently is no 'lesser evil' any more. Maybe the lesser of two evils is just a scam. Maybe it is all just one mono-humongous evil. Maybe it is time to jump out of this squared circle scheme — get real — stop pretending
this two party duopoly does anything but further the interests of the ruling classes, and vote third party.
05/02/05 There was once a short
story by someone or other, where very rich people decide to use their money, to show what total asses they can make of common people, by such things as filling a fountain full of liquid manure and throwing money into it, to get people to go into the putrid slime after it. When fiction becomes reality, it turns out, don't even need much money, just a TV camera — call it reality television, and people will masochistically degrade and disgusting display themselves, by such civilized acts as
eating worms or slithering mostly naked with snakes. The American character displayed to the world. Lovely to look at ain't it. It's what makes America great. They will reduce themselves to the scum of the earth —
as anything for money, or just simply some kind of shame-fame.
04/29/05 Simple as — Spirituality likes its practice in the here and now, where if the natural world is holy, it must be respected and preserved and — ut oh — no exploitation of the resources for progressive material substantiation. Religion likes to practice itself in the future,
so they have a sky paradise, where it leaves them the freedom to exploit the earth to their soul's content, and go to church once a week or year, just to keep their insurance current. And their morality is only to control the spoils of the competition for wealth, and replace the Ethics their religion doesn't give them. The new pope wants a new 'war for souls'. Seems like souls are more important than people for sure. Well they last longer, theoretically — more for your money maybe. War for money — war for souls, both two ends of the same ole — Manifest Destiny.
04/27/05 Right wingers everywhere, especially Americans love a good holocaust. They loved Korea, Viet Nam, did nothing or encouraged such as Pol Pot, Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Indonesia, Central and South America or the current holocaust that is
Iraq. They love murder and mayhem vicariously - as surfing through the American cable TV will turn up a
gun or some kind of violence in about no more than 30 seconds. Or how about violent video games. Got to be because they love seeing evil destroyed - so in the
eye of the beholder. And yes some of these right wing Christians love the monster of all — Hell's holocaust, the Second Coming and the Rapture, where
they will so much enjoy the burning of all non-believers. Tickets are being sold at evangelical churches everywhere.
04/25/05 The media and the minions of empire, all live in the forbidden city, of
both their elite societies and of their minds. If you are going to enjoy the fruits of empire, you stay in
your world of elite privilege, with all the accouterments of wealth, and never go out into the real world where reality and truth may wreck one's grand illusions. In the forbidden city no one from outside is allowed in, and those inside, certainly are not wanting to leave the fruits of empire. American big-media is broadcast from inside the forbidden city, which is
about as close to it — as those from outside are ever going to get — to the illusion of grand.
04/20/05 Howard Dean is near dead. The Democratic Party is over. They are born again. They have seen the light. They have found religion. They are coming out the closet and they are Republicans in
drag, the Democratic backbone of Empire. Can't convert these red state fundamentalists. Its been tried. The North Koreans and the Vietnamese tried to convert
American prisoners, by teaching analysis and critical thinking. Whoa now — the US government branded it brainwashing — none of that now. Cult kidnappers tried it, called it deprogramming with maybe a little more success. The only way is if they lose faith in their moron idols, all image and goo goo dolls. They won't give a sucker an even take, and democrats —
as far as they are concerned — are the sucker in more ways than one. Where are the Democrats going to
sit for dinner — in the dinning room, or in the kitchen with the help? Are you kidding.
04/18/05 What they will have
to do — is enforce fascism in order to enforce freedom. Their freedom that is — the freedom of
the capitalists to make as much money and to own as
much property as possible, by charging the highest prices bearabel, as does the drug industry in the US. Socialism is the only way to control these ever rising prices and profit taking, which is price caps by the government, and the only way that universal health care would ever be possible. But to continue this pilfering of the public — in the end they will support any fascist that comes out of the crypt, and that will insure that no socialist alternative will arise. On
that you count — its history.
04/15/05 CNN just called Chavez
of Venezuela — the guy that has won at least 3 national elections — 'anti-democratic'. Got to love the way these Americans think that Venezuela's oil — is theirs. How else to interpret these kinds of nonsense statements. There is absolutely no doubt that most
Americans, including those that make the decisions,
feel like if they don't like the democratically elected leader of Venezuela, name of Chavez, they can simply go down there and throw him out. And they already tried and
got caught, and have been trying some more, through funding of the opposition ever since. All the propaganda about respect for the law, in no way applies to the US whatsoever, in any way shape or form. They want
something they take it. The rest is just to convince everyone that they had a right to do it. The US may overthrow the government of Venezuela, and the majority
of Americans will never realize it happened — such
is the morality and media of empire.
04/13/05 And all the while
we thought the revolt in Iraq was about oil, national
sovereignty, religion, power, hegemony etc. But according to Iraqi Girl Blogger, all they
get now on tv in Iraq is American television. Now we
know what the revolt is really about. They intend to
do what they have already done to Americans — which is to subvert, degenerate, corrupt, deprave, pollute and contaminate the minds of the Iraqis, to the point that they become the docile, shopping, non-thinking, jelly brain, morons that Americans have a propensity to be. With this kind of tv crap who wouldn't revolt. But by the thinking of the neocons, perhaps this is the real aim of the bushleague occupation and their solution
to the uprising. Wonder if they carry the more or less Socialist CSPAN in Iraq, who could do the Pope's funeral right, all picture — no incessant dribble
and droning propaganda.
04/11/05 When a product
is produced in mass, it can be called an industry.
When the product is a progressive, self-serving, informational objective, it could be called a
propaganda industry. Article published recently entitled the 'Holocaust Industry' — but what does it mean? One interpretation is the justification for the creation of Israel, and the outright theft of Palestine, based on 'Never Again', and anybody who disagrees and objects is an anti-Semite, who if having lived in Nazi Germany, would have been a promoter of the holocaust. This might be a definition of the Holocaust Industry. And now we have the '9/11 Industry', in which objectives are to be accomplished for not that dissimilar reasons. Emotional blackmail is what it amounts to — if your emotional outrage does not outweigh any and all objective reasoned criterion — then you are the enemy of the Holocaust Industry.
04/08/05 The term 'Special
Interests' as defined by Ca gov Schwarzenegger are
not the million dollar corporate donors, inside his fundraising dinners, as is the commonly held definition in civilized society, but rather outside protesting in the streets, the nurses and teachers unions, the workers
and general public. You can't reason or argue with
these right wing Republican iconoclasts. There is no common definition for the language. They make up their own. Neither may you be able to throw them out of office at the election booth, since they own voting machine
companies. Neither can you get the media to pay much attention, since they control that as well. But one thing you can do, as the nurses and teachers, police, fire and unions have been doing for months now, is follow these vandals around — hound, heckle and harass these politicians that refuse and are incapable of being civil, or understanding civilized agreements.
04/06/05 To the extent that criminal activity takes place in support of the US empire, such as the overthrow of governments and systematic oppression in foreign states, to secure economic and material advantage, aspects of the ruling elite in America are a criminal class. If you accept the notion of US Empire, one must accept that someone runs it. Never heard of who runs it? — must be a secret government, something like when J Edgar Hoover told congress under oath, he never heard of the Mafia. This from a man who had a sex dossier on every Democratic politician in the country. But to the point here, who is it that keeps this empire ruling class a secret? Must be the US media, which makes them an integral and essential aspect of the criminal classes.
04/03/05 When Fox news and the
mass media and criminal classes universally glorify the Pope, you got to wonder — what is wrong with this picture? Not that difficult — the Pope was the Anti-Christ. The Pope was anti-communist,
anti-socialist, pro capitalist and pro elite ruling class, which was quite a feat considering the church itself is socialist, existing on the contributions of its members. He was anti-Christ in the eighties when
he commanded his own priests, practicing 'Liberation Theology' to abandon their fight for the poor against the oligarchic ruling class death squads. But then — he was just doing his job; what he was suppose to do, in an organization which has been anti-Christ since its very inception? If Christ existed in the context of today, he would have supported Rome, the Jewish
ruling classes of the day, and he would never have
been crucified. But hey — the Pope makes a great image — don't he.
04/02/05 The body of Terri
Schiavo was not even cold and the US media jumps off
the cadaver and onto the Pope, to ride this extravaganza to its ultimate smoke signal end. Terri who? "The administration of water and food, even when provided by artificial means, always represents a natural means of preserving life, not a medical act," the Pope stated in 2004. Denying them this treatment would amount to "euthanasia by omission." As is typical of all these types, it is reported that now that he is at death's door, he will not go to the hospital and be kept alive 'preserving life', which he has apparently stated is the duty of all others. "The intrinsic value and the personal dignity of every human being does not change no matter what the concrete situation of his life.". Except apparently when the bell tolls for thee.
03/31/05 From Wikipedia
on Edgar Allan Poe — "Dr. J. E. Snodgrass, an acquaintance of Poe's who was among those who saw him
in his last days, was convinced that Poe's death was a result of drunkenness, and did a great deal to popularize this interpretation of the events. He was, however, a supporter of the temperance movement who found Poe a useful example in his work; later scholars have shown that his account of Poe's death distorts facts to support his theory." This is an example of the type of Right Wing sleaze morality, that surrounds the Terry Schiavo tragedy, that is as old as the hills. Everything and everybody is material for their agendas, and any lie, fabrication, smear, libel, insinuation and use which supports their ends is OK with them. Long live
the brain dead.
03/28/05 Well what is God responsible for? When good things happen they give
the credit to God. When bad things happen it cannot
be God, 'cause God would not do such things, so they must create a devil. The Devil did it. And since so
much destruction results from natural causes, God as good cannot be responsible, and thus must be separate from the actual world. The natural world becomes the
playground of the Devil and nature religion its child. And thus they create hell on earth as well. And they wonder why people think they're stupid. A conspiracy
inspired by the Devil no doubt.
03/25/05 Fascist regimes put people in jail for all kinds of reasons. Religious regimes for blaspheming the holy, political regimes
for disagreeing with government fiat or for forming
opposition parties. Must be only in America — an all-time first — can be put in jail for playing chess. Bobby Fisher had to seek asylum in Iceland, for violating economic sanctions — playing a chess game in the former Yugoslavia in 1992 — for God's sake.
No wonder the US cable news is now nearly 24/7 total tabloid. Real news pertaining to America has become
so ridiculous, incredulous, ironic idiotic, moronic, bizarre, fantastic and just downright criminal, that for
sake of actual sanity, it must be ignored and pretended not to exist. After Peterson, Jackson, Blake Schivao, not to name lesser infamies, the question must be who will be tabloided next? The US congress just tabloided itself, so maybe a bizarre act to follow.
03/23/05 The Democrats are
searching for ways to reach Red State voters. Well
take a page from Tom Delay, a capo of the criminal classes and his Republican henchmen, who stick it to their lower class constituency at every opportunity
with drug (company) benefits, (corporation) tort reform, (credit card co.) bankruptcy bill, or tax cuts for the rich made up for by local tax hikes on the poor. Now
to placate these rubes with what they really care about,
which apparently is not their own economic demise, Delay and his cronies jump onto the bed of a comatose persistent vegetative state woman and ride it straight into those 'better bed than dead' voters, in the heart and blind land. So Dems — not so hard you can do it. The media loves tabloid politics; all they are doing these days. Maybe you'll get popular with the media.
03/21/05 Favorite nitpick of CNN's Lou Dobb's show — covered almost daily is
illegal immigration, almost exclusively from Latin America. But while he will go on ad nauseum about
every aspect of the poor wetback imaginable, the fundamental aspect he will never touch in your lifetime,
is the root of the problem, which is excess population in Latin American countries, and specifically the fact that these countries are as much as 90% Roman Catholic, and the fact that the Roman Catholic Church refuses to endorse or promote population control, planning, abortion, or even birth control. Meanwhile US Catholic bishops a while back launched an ambitious plan to promote the institution of marriage. Does anyone find this ironic, laughable and ridiculous, since the Roman Catholic Church does not believe in the institution of marriage for any of its clergy. It is vehemently against homosexuality, but this it seems is what it practices.
The soul's durability would seem, better cast in the concrete rather than ethereal, celestial preaching.
03/18/05 All those who went ga-ga for 9/11 and the Bush 'bash of nations' are now feeling a little bit justified — ooh the democracy in the middle East. What a visionary this Bush is. There will be no democracy in the Middle East, but hey everyone should get a last hurrah don't ya say. There may be a charade of democracy, but the Axis Of Evil — US, Britain and Israel, the USA & Britannia never having allowed it before, and are not about to start now. It is all about oil and oil overthere. Did they much care for democracy in Haiti? Chavez in Venezuelan was democratically elected what thrice, and look at the trouble he is now. They are talking about the overthrow of him. Anybody thinks that the Bush boys are ever going to allow any sort of real democracy in the Middle East or in America for that matter are patently naive.
03/16/05 Article not long ago
on America's number one complex. Think they are number one in everything when actually the opposite is true. Actually — America is number one in a lot of things — so buck up boys. Number one in crime, murder, number one arms manufacture and sales, number one in penal servitude, most violent entertainment, most divorces, gun ownership, nuclear, biological and chemical weapons manufacture, legal and illegal drug addiction, number one in worst health care overall, size of military and military expenditures, ratio of rich to poor and paranoia, number one in corruption, to name some. How do Americans get their perceptions so reversed? Is it the number one propaganda machine
in the world?
03/14/05 According to Kerry,
the October surprise was the Bin Laden message, 5 days before the election that halted his momentum. Surprise, surprise. The question is — is Bin Laden real or is he a black ops fake? We know from the Bin Laden
statements that Bush is the greatest thing for his cause since the falafel. And of course we now can surmise that if real — Bin Ladin helped get Bush re-elected. And for Bush — Bin Laden is the face that launched a thousand cruise missiles and represents the 'WAR ON
TERROR', wherein every catch as catch can stooge against empire is thrown into the cannibal's pot. The Bin Laden/Bush character parts are two peas in a pod. They both want to impose their own forms of government on the world, Bin Ladin — pseudo conservative 'God only knows' theocracies and Bush — progressive capitalist 'Grand Theft Auto' democracies. This is the Punch and Duty show that is ongoing since the advent of technology. A show for the ages.
03/11/05 So called Progressives
don't have a chance. They are Conservatives but don't know it. Democrats are socialists and conservative, but either don't know it or can't admit it, because the right wing media would make mince meat of them. So for instance a city park is a socialist entity. It is supported by the community in whole, for free use in common, by shared taxes. It is conservative — the dynamic being not to change, but to be preserved as what it is, usually as some form of natural aesthetic. Republicans as progressives would love to get hold of the park, so they could develop it for private profit, meaning that specific individuals, as opposed to the community in general, would profit from it, as the progressive personal acquirement of money.
03/09/05 One would wonder how
one lies to the community, the nation and to the world. These so-called US news casters outright lie for a living — how do they do it? One would think that they would have an iota of self-respect, teach their kids that lying is wrong. Assuming they are not completely corrupt, lying in good faith would
mean that they would have to shelter themselves from
the truth, only read, converse, come into contact with those who would never contradict the crap they report. Have to stay off the free roaming internet. Have their news fed to them like Bush, by side-mouthed henchmen. They are going to believe in the safety of the official version. These doll house who-knews are probably just really, really, really stupid. The haven't got a clue — but they got pretty faces. That's what's really important.
03/07/05 The grandstand governor. Wouldn't matter doubt — what the issues are or the cooperation of the legislature — this
Ca gov SchwarzetheNword loves to grandstand. He is not
a governor — he is a movie star and what he loves
is the pompous, the parade, the glamour, glitz, the autographs and adulation, the crowds, the press and
the board walk. After all, this might be the most vain politician in history, having spent half his life in front of the mirror and half in front of the camera. It is all about him and nothing more, with half-baked ideas. Rich people pay for this extravaganza and poor people may have to pay for the special elections he is using for his own self promoting promenade, that mostly benefits rich people. Oh the adulation these staged my-o-me's must bring.
03/04/05 Bush administration scientists today announced that the moon was made of Blue Cheese. CNN reported the finding as straight fact.
CNBC brought in a panel of experts to determine the economic implications via missions to the moon. Fox assembled a panel that derided the Blue Moon
characterization as a Blue State plot by scientific plants. MSNBC brought in experts to discuss the suspicion that Blue Cheese could possibly lead to child molestation, serial killers and Michael Jackson turning blue. NBC's Tom Brokaw wondered if it was not Blue Cheese that contributed to the 'Greatest Generation'. Peter Jennings wondered if the moon might be an alien cheese farm. Dan Rather was said to possess documents purported to show the finding was a conspiracy by NASA for more moon missions, but was afraid to use them for fear it was a Carl Rove plant. Scott McLellan finally admitted, when pressed by the old Arab, an expert herself on goat cheese, that the scientific report was faith based.
03/02/05 In those days — not
the case anymore — on the commuter trains there were let's say 10 no-smoking cars and one or two that were. Come to find that — "Hey Stevie Boy, why do you ride the smoking cars, you don't smoke?" "More fun. In the non-smoking cars everyone just sits there like they
were in a coma. No one says a word, or in any way acknowledges the existence of anyone else. They read their books like they were preparing for the afterlife. Something like a mobile morgue for the middle class. In
the smoking cars everyone talks. Everyone has a good time, laughing, joking, having a great old day and everyone knowing everyone." A case of some humanity, feeling, real life — not much allowed in America
anymore.
02/28/05 Who runs the USA?
Looking increasingly like it is the corporate capitalist media. They destroyed Dean. They got Bush elected the first time and sure helped the second time. They may decide what the people hear and know, and when, what message the people will get, given by what people, and which politicians get to air their message and which ones don't. There doesn't seem to be any doubt about this any longer. Nothing new and not the recent concentration necessarily - Chomski has always been banned and now probably the Pelosi-Dean true Democratic wing of the party. Of course it is not a few media elite who are running everything, the army, the government, secret foreign policy and so forth. So the question becomes — if the media is controlling the American
people who is controlling the media?
02/25/05 'In his book, "Memory
and Identity: Conversations Between Millenniums," the Pope says both abortion and the Holocaust came about when people decided to abrogate "the law of God."' The Popeadope equates abortion with holocaust. If there ever was a holocaust — it is the Pope and the Catholic
Church. No abortion, no condoms, no family planning,
no birth or population control. How many starving, malnourished, disease prone, misery masses of children for instance, and the side affects of child labor and prostitution, aids, destruction of the environment and accordant welfare, the treatment of millenniums of people and animals said to be 'without souls'? The insidiousness of Evil in the world is Evil disguised
in illusioned sainthood, where there can never be the possibility that it will be recognized for what it really is. Evil for the millenniums.
02/23/05 Haven't got much against Hilary Clinton per se, until she wants to
be president. AP - Sen. Hillary Clinton (Feb 19, 05) said that much of Iraq was "functioning quite well" and that the rash of suicide attacks was a sign that the insurgency was failing. Did she hear that from hubby Bill who has been chummy with the Bush's lately? This quite frankly sounds like a moron clone. She fought against Dean being chairman of DNC. Well what do you expect, these people lead the Democratic Wing of
the Republican party. Bill Clinton is the single reason for the demise and destruction of the Democratic Party ala Monica Lewinsky. Will the media suddenly fall in love with Hilary? Like we need more of these Trogan Horse Democrats. Not that it will matter anyway so
long as Republicans own the voting machines.
02/21/05 The independent
US media is AOL nonsense, a Right Wing nowhere and laughing stock of the world. They report on nothing
that matters in major policy matters, because if the
American people knew the truth, there would like to
be an uprising. It is the job of all US media, with
but few exceptions, to keep the peace and not rile
the common folks with quibbles like the truth. It is
the job of the US media to be the market of the world, promote jobs, money, capitalism, trash and cash and
feel good stupefaction . Most capitalist US news has
to make a profit on its propaganda and it does. The neat thing about this is that the people who watch the news are assumed to buy the products advertised, which is why the money is spent for said advertising. So when the news is pure propaganda, the genius of this system is that the propagandists have the propagandized pay for their own brainwashing. Not even George Orwell came up with this one.
02/18/05 If a US attack on Iran
is inevitable, because of the new oil in Euro trading exchange Iran is implementing, the old 'Cry Wolf' — 'Iran has nukes and can't wait on a mushroom cloud' won't work a second time 'round, not that the American people are not that stupid — they are. The most
successful scenario might be for the Israelis to disguise an attack plane to look Iranian and attack
a US warship in the gulf, said to be monitoring
Iranian nukes, and blame it on the Iranians. There
is precedence. BULLETIN — 'The US attack on Iran last week with 5500 sorties is now reported to have — by mistake destroyed much of Iran's oil facilities and the new oil exchange called the Bourse. The White House said the strikes were aimed at nuclear facilities, which were hidden amongst the oil fields'. The beauty of this scheme is that if the ruse were found out, as they always are years later, there is no US media that would ever blame Israel for anything let alone something like this. An automatic dead issue.
02/16/05 Is Wolf Blitzer a German name? To listen to him one might think that
he missed his calling, which means he was born to late
and in the wrong country to work for the ministry of propaganda of the German fascists. Do a little research
and discover he is Jewish, not exactly a good candidate for nazi propaganda. But to watch his show, one can only conclude, he is a propagandist just the same. With this concept of dual citizenship by Israel, where every Jew, no matter what their national citizenship, is also a citizen of Israel, the question might be, not whether Blitzer is a propagandist, but for who — the US, Israel or both and where is his first loyality?
02/14/05 So and maybe he said it
best — Mark Danner author of Torture & Truth ... on CSPAN — when he said that people polled just before the election, did not so much believe that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, even though they said they did, but rather they just want to believe that Bush is an honest guy, that the Iraqi and Afghanistan wars are honest endeavors, that US torture is just an aberration, that the Bush Administration has their best interests at heart and etc. And this is probably true
of most morons and moderates in America, like PBS TV
and radio moderates, the main stream reporters and opinion writers alike or the middle class etc. Its
not intellectual at all but Emotional. God bless America. Probably like the Germans didn't want to believe the truth about Hitler, but rather that he was great for Germany, that he was Germany's savior, and so on. Pontificating further on Danner's thoughts — the Bush administration doesn't care one wit for truth, but only cares to encourage these sentimentalists in their fantasy.
02/11/05 Microsoft plans to limit updates to pirated windows systems. Now computers are pretty expensive, the hardware $500 and up, the monitor $100 and up, the connection from $10 to $60
a month, virus security, and then throw in $400 for windows software. Course it is assumed by our jingo silly media that everyone can afford this. So naturally when people cannot — they steal it, if it is easy. This is a form of socialism. A socialist country would provide much internet related hardware, some software and connections for free, so everyone could have it. When the local government needs cash and doesn't want
to raise taxes, it may bring in the money by imposing and raising parking meter fares, and parking fines, and generally imposing monetary punishment strictly for the
purpose of raising money. This is theft for social public service socialisms like police and fire. Doesn't do much to engender honor and honesty in the citizenry.
02/09/05 You can watch the
Hitchcock movie, 'Shadow Of A Doubt' and see what a beautiful town Santa Rosa, California was. Not quite like that anymore. No — now they have freeways running right through the middle of it. Might just as well be in the middle of San Francisco or LA, for the noise, whatnot and general ugliness. The state gave Santa Rosa the option to build the freeway around the town instead directly through it. So who would want a freeway right straight through the middle of town? The capitalists that's who. The merchants fought tooth and nail to get that smog, noise and road to hell through 'down' town for their own greedy, greasy profits. And they got their way — and that's the quality and state of American capitalist life. So they replaced
it with television.
02/07/05 Iran has already had an experience with US imposed democracy. It was called the Shaw Of Iran, and the secret police called the Savak. Falluja in Iraq has had the experience of US democracy. It has been totally decimated. Haiti has
just recently experienced US imposed democracy, by scaring the democratically elected leader out of the country and installing a government of drug dealers. South Korea enjoyed 30 years of fascist democracy after the Korean war. The Philippines had nearly a hundred years of American Democracy after the US invasion in the late 1890s, especially exampled by Marcos. Any of which would be news to about 80% of the American People — who for all practical purposes would seem to be brain dead, an effect no doubt due to American democracy.
02/04/05 In the Democracy of
Dictatorship — it is because they cannot control what you do by force, that they must control what you think, which in turn controls what you do. According to Eric Margolis, the elections in Iraq are totally illegal
under international law — "no election held under
a foreign military occupation resulting from an unjustified war is legal under international law".
Since the US war on Iraq was totally unjustified,
the elections held by the occupying power are illegal. After that, the endless drivel — the fine sounding, hopeful, optimistic and (wonderful as it seems democracy in Iraq) is all a lie, and another name for lie is propaganda. The US news media is the propaganda organ
of the Democracy of Dictatorship, every bit as onerous as the state media of Saddam Hussein, communist Russia, or North Korea. However in those types of states, the
people are restrained by force as well as word.
Apparently they are not as stupid as Americans.
02/02/05 Rush Limbaugh loves
America and thinks it is the greatest country in history — as well he should. Him and all his felon buddies, no matter what crimes they commit rarely go to jail, and if they do its called Club Fed. He can do enough illegal drugs and lies to send any ordinary person to jail for up to a dozen years, and he doesn't have to worry about ever being arrested. Now what's not to love about America? Only the guy that gets 3 years for 3 joints is an unpatriotic whiner. These corporate execs who make decisions for profit, even though they know or at least suspect, those very products kill people — like Viox or SUV tires or cars or cigarettes, and on and on — what about hundreds of thousands probably of unnecessary deaths and injuries? What's not to like about America, where murder for money is legal and nary a one has ever
been personally punished. And still they want less crime time and no lawsuits, as well they should — the
gangsters that they are.
01/31/05 So there are (all told)
about 12 democrats (socialists) in the US national congress and about 6 in the Senate. The rest are all really Republicans (moneyed elite) in donkey ass dress, protesting the Republican agenda, verbally excoriating it in public, and then voting for it, in after hours. Anyone can say anything — like Bush's scam of broken Social Security and about everything else he says. The great thing about democracy from the point of view of
the ruling classes, the corporations, imperialists and moneyed elite is that they can buy most of the democracy politicians. Anyone can say anything, but when the
politicians vote — they cast their souls.
01/28/05 Don't hear too much in the US media about Global Warming. Only to be expected really — the job of every politician, of every media outlet, the ruling class, of the left and every liberal cause is to create jobs, jobs and more jobs, raise the standard of living, more housing, more what — upward mobility and consumption, which are what jobs are based on. The perception and reality of Global Warming is bad for business and bad for jobs. Can't have that, but rather the illusion of progressive materialism; that there can always be more and more with less and less. Just as well perhaps. Without science like nuclear and gene technology, they couldn't do any real long term damage, even with all their wars of extermination. But next they will be releasing some gene mutation into the environment that will turn the planet into a desert. And there is no telling if it has not already been done. Best if nature puts an end to it, before the irreparable damage is done. Can you have the only for certain life in the universe destroyed by morons for the profit of money morality?
01/26/05 'Axis of Evil' to the
'Outposts of Tyranny'. So they have now added four new countries to the hit list. So of the six — gee — Iran has oil, Belarus has oil, Zimbabwe has oil, and finally Burma or Myanmar has oil & gas. Cuba is of course communist and the enemy of capitalism and is
said to have just discovered oil. And the US has already fought a war with North Korea and it is communist. Not that these states are not fascist more or less, but then the US cannot control the oil, gas and other resources from these countries. That is their crime. Is Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, The United Arab Emirates or a half dozen other oil producers all - any less fascist? But the US doesn't need to invade these countries for the sake of democracy, because it already controls their resources, by control of the governments, through
bribery, extortion, arms supply, instruments of repression and complete silence in the US media.
01/24/05 The Bush administration and its cadres of Republicans is the most corrupt, self absorbed, lying, misconceived, ignorant, supercilious
bunch of boobs in probability the history of the US.
How do they get away with it? Simple the media. Ask any interstate truck driver and what you hear in Red States is Country and Western sentimentality and religious and right wing morons - period, excepting National Public Media which is pretty rightish itself. But the television and cable news is the same and just as bad
in the Blue States. If Blue state people want to do something in a personal way, and have at least a sense of personal integrity, they should never ever buy any product advertised on Network or Cable News shows. If the major news outlets are going spew strictly Red State political propaganda, then let the Red States buy their products.
01/20/05 Notice Canada does not seem to have so much of a problem with terrorists, nor most other countries in the world, that are not involved in civil wars. The US inauguration is the most militarily guarded in history, and they seem to be proud of it. Lookin' like North Korea, which is incredibly armed to protect itself from the US, which is incredibly armed to protect itself from itself. If it is mostly the US that the 'war on terrorists' terrorists have a problem with, then perhaps by the simple logic of it
— it is the US that is the evil-one, and not the terrorists. Perhaps the US commits evil on others, and when they fight back, they become terrorists and resort to terrorist acts. And the war on terror may last as long, as those that are done evil by the US — fight back, as the American Indians fought back, while the US
population of the time, could not for an instant conceive that they themselves were the evil ones.
So it is today and everyday that the US will never
admit that it is, does evil, and is the instigator of the whole sorry and genocidal mess, is a rogue nation and terror state.
01/18/05 Favorite US propaganda
bit from the Second World War - from the Pacific - happy peasant rice farmers welcoming US forces to Cambodia, or some Asian country, after driving out the Japanese. Standing in their rice field, ankle deep in mud, bright festive clothes, with scarves and hats, a brand new car on the road in the background, smiling laughing waving and greeting US forces. But the best part and the kicker was they were were not Asian but white. Probably not noticed by the masses who viewed it in US theaters at the time. As most don't notice the constant barrage of
24 hour a day US news and advertising propaganda of happy, rich, white peasants of today.
01/14/05 American politicians
in US congress basically are criminal facilitators these days. Almost their sole job is to steal the American taxpayer's dollar and give it to private interests such as corporations, big business, campaign contributors, home state pork projects, overseas boondoggles, military contractors and the like. Throw a brick in Washington — hit a thief. The thing they will be merrily engaged in for the coming year is transferring tax dollars from non-profit government entities such as
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or welfare assistance programs to their gangland cronies. Can
just see it now, private welfare - advertising for poor people on TV; steering welfare clients to minimum wage jobs, owned by themselves or for kickbacks; selling client information; check cashing services for 15%.
When crime is the law - law is the crime.
01/12/05 Delta Airlines slashes
prices. Other airlines follow suit. Why — one might wonder? Airlines negotiating with unions, wages, salaries, benefits, pensions. Airlines have to cut prices to compete with Delta - then cannot afford current union contracts. Is Delta and the rest union busting? Won't hear it in the propaganda news. Have to figure it out for yourself. Maybe right — maybe not, but possibility to consider. The Reagan deregulation
of the airlines has resulted in what was promised — cheaper fares. It has also resulted, as expected by anyone with a brain, in the bankruptcy of many of the airlines, the reduction and elimination in employee quality of life, complete chaos and absolutely terrible service, if any service at all. Will it all end in monopoly and high prices - just as it was before dereg,
but without the civilized amenities?
01/10/04 Armstrong Williams the
right wing columnist and radio show mucky muck, has been caught taking $240,000 from the Bush Administration to push the 'No Child Left Behind' program without telling anyone.Turns out he learned it as a confidential assistant to Clarence Thomas, before Thomas was a Supreme Court Justice, and who himself has taken $42,000 in gifts. What a supreme court — the Chief Justice, William H. Rehnquist supposedly wrote the memos justifying torture in the Vietnam War (an Alberto Gonzales). Antonin Scalia also takes gifts, and from people who are petitioning the court, is reportedly a member of Opus Dei, and perpetrated a coup by canceling an election recount in 2000. American justus.
01/07/04 All a dog and pony show, the media generally making it look like candidates to be confirmed, by the congress may not be confirmed because of some problem of one party or the other. But it is all show and appearance like it was a real democracy, because there is rarely and almost never a rejected nominee. So they have their question/answer session, where the Republicans spot-paint the nicks, simonize the body and buff the chrome. And the Democrats kick the tires, look under the hood,
check the oil, but out of deference, don't want to
take up too much of the valuable, valuable time of
the nominee. They don't have time to check the plugs
or give it a test drive. Gonzales — like there is some question as to whether he will be approved —
is automatic, like becoming a made man by the mafia.
01/04/05 Used to be the concept and requirement of a cartoonist was someone who could draw. But in these progressive times the conservative state, as drawings, colors, ambiance and feel, like Dagwood, Dennis the Menace or Hagar the Horrible is
of no concern. Today a cartoonist doesn't need to have any ability to draw whatsoever. They can draw stick figures, put words on it, call it a cartoon, and it may take two or more to do even that. Used to be people could tell the difference between a poet, writer, wordsmith and cartoonist. And if you couldn't draw you wrote jokes for joke books. Today it is apparently progressive. It is not the ambiance of drawing
that counts but an end, as the punch line — like good sitcoms gone bad, and fail to honor the integrity of character acting and the premises of the setup — like a character comes in from out of state, does a punch line and leaves. The end has nothing to do with the beginning.
12/31/04 So what is the latest evidence — that Vioxx may have killed something like what — 30,000 people. For less than 3,000 killed, the United States invades two countries. For 30,000 killed by a drug company — nothing, but bonuses
for the drug company execs. The shock, the horror, the outrage over 9/11 — but for thousands killed by drug companies, for reasons having to do with profit — no problem. Yes — hear 50% wants a crack down on Muslims in America, a suspension of civil rights. For drug company thugs, this same 50% wants oh — gimmee,
gimmee, gimmee more drugs please — even if they kill me. If you live in America — get used to it — this is the retarded, twisted mentality of the moral monster that is progressive Capitalism.
12/29/04 Realize it is in extreme bad taste and poor manners to continually pick on the retarded. Bush speaking from his ranch, has said today that the tsunami caused devastation is 'beyond our comprehension'. Actually it is easy to comprehend.
One has only to look at Iraq. If the tsunami has killed 80,000 and counting, Bush by his invasion of Iraq and the resulting carnage has killed over 100,000 and counting. Where is the world wide outpouring of sympathy and grief. If the one is beyond his comprehension and
comparison, the other must be also, which why don't feel all that bad about disparaging the retarded.
