We Hold These Truths and These LIES to be Self Evident

In the midst of the chaos and the greed; the mismanagement and the incompetence, the fascism and suppression of rights and the general loss of legal dissent and self-expression- which has been the hallmark of this illegal American administration- it is easy to be distracted and confused by the machinations of the press and the government in their efforts to convince us that all is good in this best of all possible worlds; cue Dr. Pangloss.

Day by day the engine of malicious dysfunction rolls on. Day by day the catamite Soviet-model press chugs out an altered reality that bears no resemblance to the actual events that it reports on. Day by day people are tortured in secret prisons in the name of freedom and a democracy long gone. Day by day neo-con think tanks draft new plans for the control and enslavement of the human race. Day by day, inch by inch under a Niagara of lies we are led into a new world of fear and confinement under the watchful eye of the formerly farcical Big Brother. Big Brother the Reality Show has become real. And the contestants who compose the collective humanity within the enclosed environment match their television counterparts in stupidity and complacency. What time is dinner? Guess who’s coming to dinner as the main course; you and everything you ever held dear.

Let me go on record as a former resident and citizen of the once free and seemingly democratic United States of America and say, “George W. Bush, you are a lying murdering sack of shit and I oppose you to my last breath. Dick Cheney, you are a murdering lying sack of shit and I oppose you to my last breath. Members of the American Congress and Senate, you are a pack of cowardly, murdering, lying shitbags and I oppose you to my last breath. Zionists of the world- casual, indifferent murderers of Palestinian children and oppressors by extension of the whole of the physical Earth, you are Nazi’s, you are hegemonic pigs, you are murdering lying sacks of shit embarked on an agenda of new world disorder and I oppose you to my last breath.

”Let me say to the disinfo mass media. “I see through your bullshit. I declare you liars and willing accomplices of murder worldwide.” To every soulless hack who writes what he is told, without regards for the results; who writes from ambition, for the sake of a paycheck, who have no conscience, who know that they are lying and do not care- who will blame others for their lies afterwards- I call you liars and cowards and accomplices to murder.

Tony Blair; “You are a lying murdering cowardly sack of shit.” Jack Straw; you are a lying, murdering cowardly sack of shit.” To every suck ass Iraqi politician and every bought off Arab mouthpiece who justifies with lies and excuses for lies and murders done for a proclaimed greater good; “You are all lying sacks of shit.

”May you be damned as you surely are; all ministers of bogus religions, all sold out entertainers, all writers and artists and statesmen; “may you be damned for your silence.” May history record your names with the names of the despicable collaborators and traitors and cowards of history.

May you be damned Hillary Clinton and all of the rest of the spineless, opportunistic Democrats who greased the wheels of fascism with your consent. May you have a special place in history among the ugly twisted specimens of treachery to the human race.

To all of the corporate slugs who turn the wheels of industry to their own profit and never mind the consequences of their actions and back door dealings, which doors swing open to the screams of your victims and are greased with the blood of their victims; “May you burn in Hell.” To the rock musicians who showed up to play for money at a ten million dollar Bat Mitzvah thrown by a man who made his profits from body armor for the Iraqi war, “May the world know and hold you in the contempt that you deserve.” Halliburton; “May it please the coming destiny of the world that all of your officers and representatives be hung from lampposts and stoned by the populace.

”My heart and my support are with the insurgents. I actively wish for American defeat in the Middle East. I celebrate each setback. I cry out against you as do the mothers who have lost their children, the husbands who have lost their wives, the wives who have lost their husbands and their families, the children with no parents, the common Iraqis with missing limbs... blinded and burned- the widespread fear and anguish that fills the air throughout that tormented country.... “May the fat assed, indifferent Americans who support this war of lies and murder have the same come upon them with a vengeance!”

Goddamn the British and American and Israeli mercenaries and black-op specialists who set car bombs in camouflage and blow up mosques in order to orchestrate civil war among the population. “May you reap the whirlwind. May your lives reflect some greater portion of the misery you bestow.

”Damn every selfish, indifferent man and woman who goes on about their business of pleasure and profit and does not question and speak out against the outrages of our time. May the whole of the rest of the world rise up against you and may your shame be recorded for generations to come.

I would rather die in a prison myself than live as a willing or silent supporter- or a supporter by default as a result of my silence- of this carnage, this ugly, ugly consistency of machine like murder and torment of others for the sake of a wasteful lifestyle.

No American or Israeli life is worth any more that the meanest or impoverished Palestinian and Iraqi life. Wealth and status do no confer a greater value to one life over another.

You are not like us, you stinking and depraved swine. You are not human. You have shit upon the espoused ideals of your own country. You have sold out your soul and your conscience for profit. You have swallowed convenient lies that justify anything and everything you desire to be proven true. You orchestrated an attack on your own country and blamed it on those you would subjugate and eliminate. There seems no limit to what you will do. There seems no limit to the blood you will spill. There seems no limit to the lies you will tell. There seems no limit to the selfish and evil ends to which you give your attentions and energy.

I know you intend another fraudulent terror attack against yourself to justify the coming assault on Iran. I know you intend to attack Syria. I know that you will do anything to convince the stupid and selfish and frightened among us that you are right in your actions and your course. I am not deceived. Others are not deceived. You are murdering, lying scum and you will go down. I know that you will go down and the spirit of what is free and good and noble in all of us will dance on your grave.

May we never forget what our ignorance; our fear, our selfishness, our greed, our ambition and our lack of conscience has cost the world. We must never again let men and women such as this any where near the corridors of power. I oppose them with every breath in my body and I do not count the cost.

Some Clarification of what this Blog Stands For

You will have noted the “Comments” section recently and some of the comments about Jewish control of the world banking system as well as a propensity for global troublemaking. It could happen that new and occasional readers of this blog might come to associate comments made with the mind set of the writer of the blog and I feel the time is at hand to clarify what I think and what I stand for.

Politically, if you read The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights you have my political position in a nutshell, probably a coconut shell given the size coordinates. Socio-politically I am mostly a Libertarian Socialist. It seems obvious to me that things like universal health care and a dispensation to assist the troubled and unfortunate should be the hallmark of any great nation or nation intending to be great. It also stands to reason that the individual bears a responsibility to the welfare of the whole. I’m just letting my words come as they come. With whatever ease a man may write his thoughts, to that degree he is probably telling the truth insofar as he knows it about himself.

Spiritually I know there is a divine order and that there is only one mind in which we all share. I know that everything is made out of mindstuff and that the universe is conscious; physics has already proven this. To the degree that any man or woman makes that one mind their own mind, to that degree they are in harmony with the whole. This is something I know, not something I take on faith. Along with that I am personally convinced of reincarnation. It isn’t something I have a degree of faith in or a hope for its reality as a process. I know it is so because I have experienced evidence of it on a number of occasions. I know there is one divine origin of substance and being. The confusions of religions are veils that trap the ignorant and fearful. There’s only one source, one regent. The ‘appearance’ to the contrary is the fundamental illusion that is the source of all conflicts.

Within the order and disorder of humanity our chief problem is our perception of differences between us. This is why I hold racism to be an indication of base ignorance and one of the chief dangers of civilization. Zionism is racism and it comes out of the Talmudic perception that Jews are superior to other human beings. The Talmud in many locations states that gentiles are not human and are inferior to Jews. This is my problem with Zionism. I have no problem with Jews. I brought up reincarnation and my conviction of its existence for a reason. We all get the opportunity to be man and woman, black and white, Muslim and Jewish and Christian and Buddhist, rich and poor and so on. So what you are doing by scoffing at and opposing one system of beliefs is that you are scoffing at and opposing yourself at another location in time. Sometimes that is necessary. Sometimes we are here to transform the ignorant acts of our past.

I single out Zionism on the occasions when I do because it is the biggest problem in its sphere in this world today. It is the primary cause of all other unrests. Terrorism, as it exists in the Middle East today, is a reaction against Zionism. Zionism is an insanity that is supported by a certain segment of the Jewish population. It is comparative to Wahabi Islam and Luddite Christian fundamentalism. I group them together as examples of human ignorance. They are example of the ancient karma of repression that takes one shape or another, just as the shadow in Mirkwood took the shape of Sauron in Mordor after it was driven out of there.

I want to be clear that I have no grievance with Jews per se. I’ve met some contemptible representatives in my travels this time around and I have met some truly good representatives too. The same goes for blacks and Asians and all the rest. There’s good and bad in all of our collections. Of course, good and bad are relative to the mind of the person interpreting it, so good and bad may quickly reverse according to perception and circumstance. Ethnic jokes come out of observations of individuals within certain groups and then become definitions of the group itself by those inclined to make those sorts of judgments. There is some amount of truth in nearly everything or you wouldn’t be able to perceive it at all. The irony is that the essence of truth cannot be seen.

I don’t know who controls the Federal Reserve and I haven’t given it much thought. I do know that Zionists have far too much influence in American politics and I know that they lied and connived America into the Iraq war with the assistance of ‘other’ fascists who wanted it that way. I know that they are behind the push against Iran and Syria. I know that they murder Palestinian children and, as one commentator said, use them for target practice. Zionism is another expression of materialism. Materialism is the key evil of existence. Zionism is fascism. Zionists also have a working control of a large portion of world media and they use it to legitimize their terrorism and to paint all else as an evil threat. The truth is that all of these other threats continue to exist because of Zionism. It is an absurdity to say that God has decided that you should have such and such a landscape when you are the ones reporting what God said. Did God say to the Muslims that the Israelis were chosen people and granted all this real estate by divine imprimatur? Did God go to any other religion and say this? No. God apparently told these other religions something different. Bullshit is bullshit and this is bullshit.

When Theodor Herzl created Zionism after the Dreyfuss affair some hundred odd years ago he made it clear that the Jews should use the tag anti-Semitic as a club. He said that it should be used whether it was true or not. It has become a powerful slur, far worse than comparative slurs. It has become a weapon for suppressing criticism of any kind. It has become a powerful tool for the blackmailing of nations. It is a bankrupt term that no longer has any meaning except to render the opposition mute. Criticize anything that goes against Zionist interests and you are an anti-Semitic. It is anti-Semitic to criticize the Israelis for shooting children hanging up their laundry or walking to school. It is anti-Semitic (according to Paul Wolfowitz) to use the term neo-con.

Today, armed gangs of Zionist mercenaries roam through Iraq blowing shit up. British soldiers are routinely caught in camouflage on their way to set off bombs. The Americans are busy at this as well. Two of the most evil men on the planet ( I will have a separate article on them in the near future) are not Jewish. They are David Rockefeller and Rupert Murdoch. David Rockefeller may be the individual most likely to be said to head the Federal Reserve. It would probably be best to say that a small group of fascist vampires, ‘some of whom’ are Zionist Jews, are actively working to enslave the human race.

Jews, like people from all walks of life, have made enormous contributions to the well being of us all. No group can be singled out as evil by nature. Zionism, like fascism, like racism, like Stalinism and other deranged schematics are always evil and never good and they are all fundamentally the same. That is what I believe. You err if you think I hold any other opinions here. I am for the greatest good for the greatest number of people and I oppose exclusivity; the possession of great wealth by a minority, artificial class systems, draconian laws, injuring people for gain, lying media organs and the suppression of dissent. I cannot, within the framework of one small essay, cover all of the available ground but I can give some idea of where I stand. I’ll take whatever licks there may be for what I have said here. I believe these things to be true and I believe the greatest threats to world peace and the biggest terrorists are based in Washington D.C. London, England and Tel Aviv, Israel.

I want what is noble in the American and British and Israeli hearts to overcome the darkness that presently runs their foreign and domestic policies. These three were behind the 9/11 attacks, no other. These are the enemies of humanity and their time will come. It is up to us to have the courage to stand and tell it like it is, to refuse to submit, to encourage what has been called the better angels of our nature so that sooner, rather than later, the dawn will break and the darkness will be sent away to gnaw on its own entrails until it surfaces again.

They Will not go Gentle into that Good Night.

If you are not one of those people on the Australian TV poll conducted in the US

See it here

Then you know, as I know, that the neo cons presently involved in running the ship of state on to the rocks are not going to go away easy. You know that they took the 2000 election through voter fraud. You know that they did the same thing in 2002 and in 2004 and they will be at it again this year.

You know that they were behind the 9/11 attack. You know that they are behind all of the fascist tactics that presently plague the former Land of the Free. You know that there is an international consortium of stone evil sonsofbitches who have it in mind to enslave the human race. They can say that we need our tinfoil hats and they can attempt to marginalize us and discredit us but the facts are there for anyone to see. If it is possible to see the facts then you know two things; the evidence is strong indeed and they don’t care if we know. They only have to control the rest of us through our fears and our appetites.

I’m going to go on record here and say that as long as I live and breathe I will never tire of pointing out what craven and vile scum these reptiles be. Sometimes it seems that the light is breaking and at other times it is hard to imagine how it could get so dark. I’m optimistic. I have to be. Humanity has weathered worse. If humanity does not awake however, these coming times will be a poster child for the worst.

One of the key things to remember is that these neo-cons and their agents have broken many laws. They have committed treason against their own country. They can ill afford to have the evidence of their behavior exposed and it will be exposed if they lose. This is not to say that things will be suddenly better if the democrats win. They have proven themselves to be spineless cowards. Further, if the influence of Zionism on American political life is not curtailed then you will learn what the Talmudians mean when they refer to you as insects and not human.

There is no greater threat to American freedom than Zionism. There is no more powerful enemy of your rights guaranteed under The Constitution than Zionism. Too many of you believe that as long as you have some small footprint of land to stand on that things will be okay. Too many of you think that the erosion of your rights is somehow connected to your safety. You do not see that the engineers of this horror show create the appearance of danger on one hand and then promise to protect you from it with the other. It is a game of bait and switch. It’s action, reaction and solution. They create a problem, they react against the problem they have created and then they solve the problem.

The problem is not one thing. It is not the war in Iraq and the coming assault on Syria and Iran, all of which are being pushed and manipulated by Zionist interests. It is not the economy in the toilet; the loss of good jobs, the Katrina response, the blowing of the New Orleans levies to drive the blacks out and the real estate deals that are going on now, the shakedowns, the NSA spying, the phony terror alerts, the phony Bin Laden videos, the whore media disinfo game. It’s all of them and a lot more you don’t know about. Your country is in the hands of criminals, worse than criminals because even The Mafia would do a better job and be more reasonable about it.

Far more people die from car wrecks each year than have died from terrorism in the last century and this one combined; quite possibly in all of recorded history. Terrorism is not a problem except as an excuse for the real terrorists to continue in their work. If you can’t see where you are headed then it is time for you to get out of the vehicle now.

If these swine are allowed to continue at their agenda you are looking at becoming an indentured serf to a permanent privileged overclass. As I have said before, you cannot fight them with guns and the media is unavailable to you. You have to strike. You have to sit down and stop. You have to refuse to cooperate or contribute at all. Someone has to stand up and rouse the populace to sit down because IT IS later than you think. College and high school students need to refuse to attend class. Teachers need to refuse to teach. This is the key location. Churches need to pray in public for salvation from public evil as an example of their faith and as evidence of their opposition.

I tend to repeat myself here, although I try to say it in different ways, because the same thing needs to be said over and over. If I were to break it down to one word it would be “Wake Up!” All over the country people are becoming increasingly aware of what is happening. You need to rise up en masse and demonstrate and you need to step away from the machine. The machine cannot operate without you. If you step away it will come to a halt. It is time for REVOLUTION! These men and women must be removed from the seats of power and they must be arrested and brought to trial. Neither Saddam Hussein nor Milosevic were as bad as these people are. They mean you no good. They mean to enslave you. They are criminals and they belong in jail or on the gallows.

It’s time to stop mincing words. It is time to stop appeasing and hoping and going along. It is time to stick bubblegum in the gears. It’s time to say, “I’m mad as Hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” It’s time to get some balls. It’s time to realize that it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

A certain portion of this country are like ticks on the belly of a pig. They are in lockstep with their jackbooted leaders. Another portion of this country is so incredibly stupid that I could not begin to describe them. Another portion of this country is being buggered by a non-existent Jesus who is leading them through the Judas Gate. A majority portion of this country knows what is right and correct even if a lot of them are confused and afraid. It is a great tragedy that they cannot see how it is possible for their leaders to be as bad as I say they are. Open your fucking eyes!

You are being turned into a servant class. You are being closed out. All of the negative conditions in your environment are being engineered to keep you distracted from the real issue. None of us wants this to be the time where we have to stand up and be counted. We would all rather it happened in someone else’s movie in some other lifetime. But this is the time. This is the time to step away from the machine. This is the time to join with your family, your neighbors, your town, your state and with all of the as yet uncorrupted among you and take back your rights.

The stink rises to the Heavens and you cannot smell it? The lies are patently obvious and they laugh at you when they tell them and you cannot hear it? They are at war against all that makes your life worth living and you can’t see it? You can hold your nose and close your ears and eyes for only so long. Sooner or later your world will pass a point of no return. I am ashamed that so many of you support these evil ventures; further ashamed at the rampant cowardice on all sides. I am amazed that common criminals have found their way into the White House and the Congress and the Supreme Court. Bush’s Supreme Court is his ‘get out of jail free’ card.

You mock and deride those who seek to protect and free you. You jeer at your liberators from behind the bars of your master’s prisons. You let it happen inch by inch and day by day and you applaud when others are tortured and murdered in your name. What kind of human being are you? I cannot understand your composition. I cannot understand that you do not see. One thing you can count on, “What goes around comes around.” Oh yes indeed.

Future Nobel Peace Prize Winner- Nonie Darwish tells it like it is

Please note that this essay is SATIRE. Apparently Nonie is all hot and bothered about it. Satire, as far as I know, is not yet a crime. If you think about it the real tragedy is that it doesn't read as satire when measured against this woman's actual words and actions.


Zionist front lady...

No, really?

...and Beverly Hills “Peace Activist’ Nonie Darwish sipped at a cup of warm Palestinian children’s blood and talked with us today about her plans for peace in the Middle East. We asked her about her protest against the film “Paradise Now” and why she feels it shouldn’t be shown anywhere.

Beautiful as always

She replied that Arabs were never meant to be equal in any respect to Israelis and that it is their refusal to accept their lot as a lesser life form that has contributed to all of the problems in the world today. In a direct quote she said, “It would probably be better for everyone if the Palestinian people were exterminated from the face of the Earth, the Israelis need the land and God gave them the land including all of Syria and most of Iraq and pretty much anything that they want because God also told the Israelis that they should rule the Earth and that everyone else should serve them.” We asked Nonie where she got this information and she said the Israelis told her, so it must be so.

“Paradise Now glorifies suicide bombers. Suicide bombers don’t have uniforms. They don’t march in tight ranks and they don’t have the kind of corporate connections that legitimize an army, therefore they are violent insects and must be exterminated.” Nonie smiled when she said this and shifted coquettishly in her seat, giving us a warm motherly smile while attempting to give a flip to her polyurethaned hair. She further told us that when Israel attacked her own country of Egypt that they were entirely in the right because ‘certain’ Egyptians were thinking bad thoughts about the Israelis. “It is perfectly fine for the imported Khazars to take over Palestinian homelands because they wanted them and that should certainly be reason enough. The Israelis refused to recognize any rights by the Palestinians for anything because they wanted Jerusalem, which was their right, so they murdered their families and drove them into the desert and then poisoned their ancient wells. And what happened? These Palestinian insects refused to recognize Israel as if that were some kind of a reason. Can you not see the criminal nature of a race of people who behave in this manner?” Once again she gave us that warm embracing smile that makes her such a powerful spokesperson for Arab causes.

We asked her if the Palestinians, often having no other weapons but rocks, with nowhere to live weren’t using the only thing at their disposal to defend themselves against genocide. “Hah!” she said, "and why should they be allowed to defend themselves at all? It is their destiny to serve a master race. Is it moral or legal to resist the commands of your betters? I think not.”

I remember the day of our interview so well. Before I talked with Nonie I had had all sorts of conflicting ideas in my mind. Somehow I had gotten the mistaken idea that Palestinians were people. Talking with Nonie helped me to understand that they weren’t people at all and it didn’t matter what happened to them. She explained to me that the Palestinians served an important purpose in the Zionist game plan and in that regard they did have a certain amount of value. “When an IDF soldier shoots a Palestinian child we have to consider all of the collateral benefits that accrue as a result. The soldiers are able to test their weapons. They are able to improve their targeting skills. Israeli munitions companies benefit and the economy is made more robust. In this way the Palestinians do provide an important service. They’re not all bad, these Palestinians. Israel is working for peace all over the world. When the apartheid government was having trouble with their own insects in South Africa, Israel was right there to assist them tactically as well as with interrogation techniques and weaponry. It is truly unfortunate that the communist agitator Nelson Mandela was released from prison. At that time, though it grieved the hearts of the compassionate Israeli government, they chose to withdraw and have no further connection with the South Africans. Many of us still grieve over that.” Nonie crossed her sleek legs and gave us that seductive eye contact that has made her an object of desire the world over.

She’s a beautiful woman, no question. I had to constantly adjust my trousers because of the increasing tumescence caused by my proximity to this fabulous woman and tireless worker for world peace. She seemed to me of equal parts Mahatma Gandhi and Veronica Lake. How can I describe to you the powerful magnetism of this fascinating woman? I cannot.

“You see how clear it is.” she continued, “everywhere in the world Israelis are working for peace, In PNAC, in AIPAC and many other organizations. They even created their own Al Qaeda cell in a Palestinian area in order to spread peace. They assisted in the wonderful attack on the World Trade Center that has made so many peace initiatives possible the world over. Consider the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and the coming carpet bombing of Syria and Iran. Everywhere you look Israel is in the vanguard of the universal peace initiative. We must now stop this filthy film from receiving any attention at all. I’m sure you agree that it will only serve to agitate and possibly injure our collective effort to make this world what it has always been destined to be, one world under Israel.”

I could only nod my head and sit in awe of this woman’s clear and lovely understanding of how it should all be. I imagined myself as a dog curled at her feet, hoping for any sign of attention; a kick or even only harsh words; it would not matter to me.

“Zionism should be the first concern of honest Arabs everywhere. It is such a tragedy that all Arabs do not yet comprehend that their first duty is to see that all of Israel’s needs are met. What does an Arab life matter anyway?” she gave me a sultry moue and handed off her cup to an attendant for a refill.

“You’re a Christian aren’t you?” I asked. “She gazed off into space for a moment as her eyes took on a luminescent deliquescence. A look of child like wonder came over her face and I was reminded of the icons of early Christian saints that I had seen in museums and diplomatic pouches during my days in the Russian immigration service. “Yes, I love Jesus Christ with all of my heart. It is the teachings of Jesus that I use as a guide in all that I say and do. Jesus was the first Zionist. He believed in Israel first and always told us to look in our hearts for the Star of David that is tattooed there by God.”

Like those few exceptional people before her I could see that Nonie had been chosen to be one of those select few in that small club of, “God is on MY side.” I could now see Jesus as a divine hood ornament on the Israeli bulldozers in lands stolen by the Palestinians. I could see Jesus rising up with a flaming sword over the craven form of that communist agitator Rachel Corrie. I could see Jesus everywhere, riding in the American war planes, working in newspaper offices, his hands stained with printers ink as he pasted cartoons into the print master, smiting everyone and everything that stood in the way of humanity’s glorious future. Jesus marched through the corridors of Congress. He learned over the shoulders of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney as these righteous heroes marched at the head of conquering armies. He sat at the boardroom table of the corporations of Carlyle and Halliburton. He ate at a McDonalds in Baghdad’s Green Zone.

It is far past the time for all of us to realize that we are and have all always been Palestinian insects of one type or another. We are drones with a destiny. We are here to serve the interests of our masters and world peace can only come when we fully realize that it is not what happens to us that matters but how well we sacrificed ourselves in the process.

I left with renewed hope and a greater sense of purpose. Nonie Darwish had awakened me to a higher and nobler cause. May the dream and sacrifice of Nonie in Beverly Hills awaken all of us to a finer understanding. May all of us join together to crush Palestinians wherever they may be whether they are in front of us, behind us, or inside us.

Shitheads and Shiteaters

A point seldom made and a contradiction often missed is the ironic similarity between fundamentalist Islam and the ongoing putsch of the Christian right. The fundamentalists on both sides want to regulate human behavior to the inth degree and if you don't think Christians are every bit as capable of draconian enforcement as the Wahabi Muslims then you missed the inquisition, the witch-burnings and the Iraqi War. This is a clash of cultures and any other arguments are incidental. At a deeper level it is about the basic appearing differences between East and West- even to a deeper level of that between morning and night. These two cultures come at each other in the middle; the Middle East. Although people are basically the same everywhere they appear different.

It’s true that the pig cultures of the West want the oil to fuel their excessive pig lifestyle; hmmm, I wonder if there’s a connection there in respect of Muslims not eating pork? It’s true that the repressive cultures of the East fear the rise of feminine power. It’s true that the West glorifies her as a whore who gives fantastic head. You have to see what seems to be happening in terms of what is really happening. Just as certain plants tend to grow around other plants, terrorism is a natural outgrowth of Western culture.

A lot of the power of the luddites presently in charge of America and the solid block of robot voters that reflexively support them no matter what is the constant fear that seeming decadence will overpower their neighborhoods and homes; drugs, sexual diversity and licentious behavior, street violence and the general breakdown of the moments moral codes- according to the good girls and boys who grew up to be their parents. These people don’t seem to get the message of Deadwood or know much about 17th century London, or how it was in New York at the beginning of the last century; alcoholism and the general brutality of the system toward others. Even though the liars and thieves and assholes continue to be among us and in many cases plague our lives with their mischief, things improve slowly while getting better or worse in a cyclic bio-rhythm of forces most people don’t understand.

The shitheads in charge of the American government at this time are evil motherfuckers. It doesn’t matter if they know this and do it consciously, like Cheney, or are just too stupid to tie their own shoes, like Bush. The suffering given is the same. Behind the scenes major arm-twisting is taking place. Domestically the shitheads have control of the media, the military and the money. Most of the manipulation is taking place from London (which never did give up control of the colonies) and Tel Aviv. Money makes power happen. People in charge always want to be more in charge. The mind set that made them shithead control freaks in the first place hasn’t changed. It’s like watching The Treasure of Sierra Madre over and over again and it always ends the same way.

The world is going through major birth pains. It is the end of one age and the beginning of another. New visions are coming forth while old forms of ignorance are dying out. New ignorances are coming too. The ancient enemy of humanity doesn’t go away, he just shifts his tactics. It is easy to fall into fear and despair at this time. Don’t let that happen. Some good things are on the way but there is going to be some major housecleaning too.

Those who read here know that the shitheads were very likely behind the bombing of the golden dome mosque. Everything that is happening is being orchestrated for effect. But not everything is going their way and they aren’t writing the ending either. Notice how China and Russia have come into play.

The heads of state everywhere know what happened on 9/11. They know what happened in the Florida vote count and they know that the American electoral system has been hijacked. Why don’t you hear about it? That’s not how they play the game. You know about it though.

This nasty ugly mess that has been brought about by the corporations who run the governments is a frightening affair. Besides the oil there are other interests too. There is an enormous population with pocket change that looks damn good to the shitheads at McDonalds and all of the companies that sell shit to the shiteaters. Muslims don’t want to eat shit and there’s a problem all by itself. Western culture is trying to stuff their products down their throat. Meanwhile Bush is skullfucking Gandhi’s legacy in India while behaving in all ways contrary to everything Gandhi stood for. The fact is that the shiteaters are stupid. You would have to be stupid to eat shit wouldn’t you?

In America most people can’t tell because they eat shit all day long and have for years. They eat shit from the TV and they eat TV shit. They are entertained by shit and they especially like shit when you put colorful wrappers on it and add a lot of confection. When people collectively eat shit for long periods of time they turn into shit. But shit is good. Shit turns into nitrogen and it makes nature abundant and colorful. These people are compost for the new age.

The biggest danger is the trivialization of life. Everything is tending more and more trivial and superficial. The luddites are correct that a cancerous agenda is at work to subvert the values they hold dear and the shitheads are at great pains to let them know this. Those roomy camps that Halliburton is building in the US will seem realistic when the people who don’t exist on a steady diet of shit object to being tormented under increasing restrictions and fascist efforts that are ‘for their own protection’.

Why am I writing this? It is a little different. I just want you to play with some of these ideas. The shitheads are a logical progression that appears when a culture has entered a certain phase. The shitheads are always around but their numbers aren’t so great. You will note that the number of people engaged in certain lifestyles and forms of behavior are also increasing.

Karachi has almost 20 million people now. A plague could go through there like a wildfire. All these massive urban experiments are totally unprepared for the logical result of a bad experience. Did you think Katrina was bad? How about the response and the followup? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Life corrects itself. When life gets way out of balance it sets certain forces in motion.

It’s important to realize that Muslims are not a bunch of inflamed ragheads. Islam is, in its finest expressions, a powerful and beautiful thing. So is Christianity. In their essence these things contribute much that we all value without knowing its source. But just as the governments have been hijacked by shitheads, so have the religions too. On the one hand are the growing numbers of extremists and on the other hand are the mealy mouthed cowards who won’t stand for anything. Right now it’s a shithead’s world. Are you a shithead or a shiteater? Are you?

Right now the best thing anyone can do is to think about where they are and what they’re doing. Think about what you value and what you don’t mind losing. Think about your proximity to large numbers of shitheads and shit eaters. Eating shit is bad. It will make you sick and it might be contagious in a sudden and wild way. You don’t want to be there if you’re not a shit eater. Heads up.

Do You Want to Stop Terrorism? Fight the Real Terrorists!

Do you want to fight the war on terror? Then you must fight the real war on terror and that is being waged by the present American administration and all the lackey states abroad that they have blackmailed, bribed and arm-twisted into submission.

We are led to believe that there is some vast shadowy international network called Al Qaeda. We’ve got Al Qaeda in Iraq. Soon we’ll have Al Qaeda in Iran and Syria and The Cayman Islands. It’s a franchise like McDonalds. There is NO Al Qaeda as such. Al Qaeda is a construction, a boogeyman created to spread fear. Bin Laden is long gone. Al Zawqawi? Yeah right. The only Al Qaeda cell ever uncovered (and that was in Palestine) proved to be staffed by Mossad members.

Here are the real and present dangers at work today: neo-con fascism, political correctness, Zionism, fundamentalist religions, i.e. right wing Christianity and Wahabi Islam, materialism and the pervasive ignorance of a dumbed down population. Here are some of the villains: PNAC, the present American administration, the Israeli Likud party, the large corporations and world media. This is not comprehensive but it is enough to go on.

At the root of the problem is the pervasive greed of the corporations who control the governments and the media and the reflected greed and fear of the general population. Terrorism is not a problem. It is similar to having cockroaches in your kitchen. Remove the food source. Clean the kitchen. Terrorism has its roots in conditions that are based on injustice and oppression. If the Israelis did not treat the Palestinians as they do much of the trouble in the Middle East would go away. If first world nations did not enslave and burden third world nations with debt, terrorism would find no soil to root in. If global corporations did not shove decadent culture down the throats of older cultures who resent this invasion there would be nothing to react against. If greedy cultures did not demand the resources of countries with oil and other raw materials for their wasteful lifestyles there would be no need for the manufactured wars and invasions based on lies that stir up a ‘hornets nest’ of righteous opposition. What is taking place now is no different than what was taking place when the conquistadors were plundering Central and South America. The same forces are at work. The corporations and governments have changed their names and personnel and the churches are the same or newer versions but otherwise there is no difference.

The attack on the WTC was orchestrated by the people who control the machinery and policy of the Bush administration with the assistance of Mossad and elements of British intelligence. It was designed to portray Arabs as the perpetrators and to turn world opinion against the Arabs and Palestinian statehood. Nearly half of the so-called hi-jackers were later found to be alive and well in various parts of the Middle East. I’m not going to address the enormous inconsistencies in the administrations story about what took place. Go to www.whatreallyhappened.com and read the extensive library on the 9/11 attacks. The people behind this effort, this New Pearl Harbor, are your terrorists. The entire schematic is designed to control diminishing world resources for the benefit of the few, to reduce basic freedoms in the name of freedom and to create a permanent privileged overclass.

These are your terrorists. But what are you going to do? You don’t have enough guns and political influence is reserved for those who have agreed to the terms. Why do you think the so-called Democratic opposition is so silent? Bribery, blackmail, threats and actual murder are the currency of the day. What were Mohammed Atta and his men doing on Israeli bagman Abramoff’s boat? WHAT WERE MOHAMMED ATTA AND HIS MEN DOING ON JACK ABRAMOFF’S BOAT!

It’s a simple thing and it has proven effective in the past against forces equally as great as the one we face now. Mahatma Gandhi did it against The Raj in India. Martin Luther King accomplished much in America, though that work remains unfinished. That work is always unfinished perhaps. Non-violence is the answer. The American nation must go on a sit-down strike. The peoples of America must refuse to go to work, refuse to participate and refuse to fight. When the corporations feel the sting they will adjust accordingly. People must unify under a common cause. You must boycott any product that sponsors network newscasts. Everyone should wear an armband that says “Enough is Enough!” The machine requires your presence to run. If you do not show up the machine cannot operate. It comes to a halt.

Yes this is simplistic. This is an idea. It requires the efforts of others to flesh it out. As long as there is canon fodder dumb enough to go to war there will be war. All able bodied men must refuse. No matter what the media will say they must refuse. They cannot lock you all up. People must gather in the squares of their towns and cities all over the country and stand silently in protest of fascism. There should be no resistance, just an intransigent silence.

The Bush administration and the corporations that run them are criminals. The whore media is a criminal. We at the blogs and elsewhere are having an effect. Criminal Rumsfield was at pains to point this out recently. We must sound the clarion call and we must act. Are you afraid? It is frightening. But what is more frightening? Facing the truth in yourself and answering the call of the times, or bowing down and bending over and being herded through the gates of Hell? Have some dignity! Have some courage! Have some self respect! This is a clear and present danger and we know who they are. We know the faces at the front; the Bushies and their lackeys and those abroad as well as the organizations that set their tone and the corporations that run the show. We know the faces in the back; Mellon-Sciafe, David Rockefeller, Kissinger and the like.

Let us give these men and women a new common first name; Criminal Bush, Criminal Rice, Criminal Cheney, Criminal Murdoch, Criminal Limbaugh... all of them Criminal. Let Criminal be a title and a first name. All the participants, whether chiefs, or lackeys or cheerleaders or disinfo specialists... all with the new first name of Criminal. Let it come into the common parlance. Let it be the accepted term. Seize the language. Recognize your power and affirm your right to be here.

No generation wants the trouble in their time. None of us want to be at the battlements, apart from our families and our pursuits. Yet the very fabric of the world is in danger. So many of you are afraid or attached to your meager possessions. Many of you are privileged and don’t care. Many of you have your place in the machine and you know it is wrong but you fear what may come if you stand up for what is right. You don’t really have a choice. The alternative is too dreadful to consider. We must collectively expose these jackals and hyenas and we must cease to contribute. We must cease to fear.

The peoples of the world are all one family. In this time thousands are dying for excess of appetite on the one hand and lies on the other. Collectively we can smash the state with the power of love and a conviction for the truth. In the name of the family and friends that you love, stand forth and be counted. In the name of Pat Tillman and so many others who died for nothing, stand forth and be counted. Step away from the organized church and the demagogues in the pulpit. Step away from Wal-Mart. Don’t buy Coca Cola. Refuse all junk and put off everything else. Don’t buy anything you don’t absolutely need. Don’t buy anything you don’t absolutely need. Organize!!! Stop contributing. Just sit down. Just stand still.

Just like a brush fire can sweep the plains we can cleanse the land. Do you like living under the whip hand of fear? Should others be killed in your name because you would not speak up? Each of us can reach others and they will reach others in their turn and the hearts of the majority of the Earth’s people will beat in one accord. It takes a common theme upon which we all agree to unite us. Let those with their various talents come forward now. We need you. Take what you know to be true and let it be heard.

The Star-Spangled Double Wide White Trash Heaven

When I hear about the bad things happening to American competitors in the Olympics it makes me glad. Any time I hear bad news about America it makes me feel better. I routinely without thinking root against them no matter what is taking place and I support the opposition, almost regardless of their intentions whenever it comes down to America and anybody else. And I am, or I was born, an American.

I want America broken and humbled. I want America to taste what they’ve been dishing out for so many years. I don’t need to hear about World War One and World War Two and what heroes we were. I’ve got my own take on those conflicts as well. I’m one of those people that study events; I don’t just swallow the common line. I don’t wave flags and I hate marching bands; any marching bands... but most especially those playing Onward Christian Soldiers. Christian soldiers are demons in self righteous permanent press. Of course they are hypocrites and murderers too but I haven’t the space at the moment to list all the fine qualities of the Christian soldiers.

When I think of America I think of the Native Americans and the railroad labor and slavery and the fat cats with the cigars that were always popping up on Marxist posters. I’m no Marxist though. I suppose I’m a Libertarian Socialist if such a thing could exist. Mostly I’m for the fulfillment of the power of cosmic justice and I include myself among the recipients for better or for worse- all things (actually) being equal as regards their irrelevance and impermanence.

When I hear the war is going badly for America it lifts my spirits. Any time I hear bad news about the economy, or some new political scandal, or anything that reflects badly on that nation of whores, alcoholics and international arm-twisting pederasts I think to myself, ‘it’s going to be a good day.’

I’m not into fooling myself that America is going to do a turn around. I can’t imagine who would be in charge of that. There’s that nation of “I fucking want it now and I don’t care what it takes.” And some imply that it’s going to turn into the P.R. version we keep hearing about that country; openhearted, generous, competent, brave and whatever else they like to say about themselves as opposed to fat and lazy, greedy and selfish, wasteful and wasted and the like.

America is a department store with a parking lot and housing attached. That’s all it is. It’s a megaphone of sanctimonious religious types with bad hairdo’s running the Elmer Gantry con with one hand in your pocket and the other on your thigh. I don’t ever expect to run into the Jesus they keep screeching about and it’s a sure bet they aren’t going to run into any version of the real Jesus should that be an option.

America is a nation of child-molesters on the make for their children’s school chums. It’s an amusement park of pornography where the most explicit features are associated with things besides sex and where the fucking they are giving is nowhere near as good as the fucking they are getting.

When I think of America I think of United Fruit and all the good little efforts made by America in the hot-lands to the South. I think of Vietnam and napalm and I think of Falujah and napalm too. I think of the scientists at Proctor and Gamble working on new ‘and improved’ Napalmolive Soap. I think of all the weapons industrialists and their cluster fucks with the Defense Department. I think about Iraq and Iran and whomever else is in the crosshairs so that a nation of fat, stupid, willful little (not so little actually) pigs can drive their SUV’s two blocks to the 7/11 for the Big Gulp in the fifty gallon drum.

I think of rapid deterioration and epidemic diabetes. I think about what it’s going to be like when the fabric breaks and bands of rampaging lunatics move through the urban jungles of inbred decadence and luxury junkies in high rises. I think about the complete loss of manners and spatial awareness. I think about how glad I am that I don’t live there any more.

It’s not like America was ever very nice to me when I was there. Every time I opened my mouth and spoke the truth they threw me in jail, or prison or somewhere. If you don’t play the game you need to move under the radar. I was none too bright about those things, then.

I know there are a lot of good people in America. At least, I assume it must be so. Some of my friends live there and they are good people and I’ve observed and heard enough to indicate to me that there is some percentage of decent folk there in the Land of Snakes. Of course there are also a lot of people who are walking backwards into the process of de-evolution and there are a lot of people moving like predators through the metaphorical jungles and the oceans of that land and of course, control of the country is in the hands of some vicious characters who are half-pig, half crocodile and half STD. These characters work for another group of aliens who own corporations and are half-shark, half vampire bat and half shit-eating slug. I’m supposing that this group works for another group whose characteristics I cannot define because you never see them. You just see the wreckage left in their passage.

I’m being truthful here. I’m not sure the truth has been any more helpful or gracious to me than America has and these two things have nothing in common with each other. I guess if you love the truth then you got to take your licks in respect of it. These things don’t need to be said I suppose. I’m not sure why I say them. Maybe it makes me feel good to say them. I’m proud not to be an American. I did leave it because I didn’t love it. I’d rather be a traitor to my country than a traitor to humanity.

Katrina sums up America as it is today. America is a department store with membership privileges that are determined by the quality of one’s membership package. America is the land of “me first, you later, maybe.” America is a land of blood spilling like waterfalls in many parts of the world that aren’t America. America is a nation of gangsters; little gangsters and big gangsters with a gangsta-rap soundtrack. America is a fast food franchise with sick lumpy animals waiting in line for some more hair of the dog that possessed them. America is a bankrupt dot.com that sold a non-existent product to a once human population; “oh beautiful for wasted skies for ample waves of pain, for purple mountain travesties above the looted plain.”

I don’t have a country any more and if I did it wouldn’t be America. Guantanamo is an outreach program and it’s going to outreach until it contains the entire continental stretch. I just want you to know that when I hear about something bad happening to America I get as misty eyed as a flag-waving redneck with a frosty Bud in one hand and the other hand on his dick. When I think of America rushing toward judgment and all the fat-faced fat-cats cheering her on and laughing about collateral damage I start to cheer a little myself. Of course I can see what’s happening so I’m cheering for something different than those who assume they are making it happen. But life isn’t something you happen to. Life is something that happens to you.

The Big Dogs in the Yard

We are taught when we are children that we should respect authority. We are taught to obey policemen, to listen to religious counsel and to accept the proclamations of government because they are wiser and more informed than we in respect of the needs and necessities of our country. We are taught that in a democracy every citizen has a vote and every vote is counted. We are taught a common morality to insure that a majority will color inside the lines and that the stability of the family unit will remain sacrosanct.

It’s a nice idea. It’s an ideal. We aren’t usually taught the difference between the ideal and the real but that’s something we observe as we go about our lives.

A wise general once said that “every ship of state sails on a river of darkness.” What he meant was that in the process of doing business and protecting its citizens a government sometimes has to do certain things to secure the success of these efforts. It can certainly be said that a country is only as good as its leaders; that’s what the rest of the world sees. It can also be said that a country’s leaders are a reflection of its people; “where there is no vision, the people perish” Somebody else said that.

The thing is, in government and in business, the big dogs run the yard. That’s how it is. What that means is that the big dogs take what they want and you get whatever is left. When I was in prison a cagy con once said to me, “Gypsy, there’s three kinds of men in prison. There are the bulls and the foxes and the sheep. The bulls run the joint. The foxes know how to get around the bulls and the sheep... wind up on the hooks.”

There are rules that when followed lead to a smooth operation of government and fair dealing in business. In the larger prison of the world’s parameters one might say that the heads of government and business are the bulls, the lawyers and bureaucrats are the foxes and that the sheep are the people.

I’d like to further expand upon that. Bulls and sheep have very different grazing methods. We know from history that the ranchers responsible for these two types of livestock did not get along. Maybe the livestock didn’t either; if they had the capacity to think about it. I imagine that bulls and pigs might get along better since their mutual interests don’t conflict. I note that in America today there are a great many pigs and a great many sheep. These pigs, which you can see in tight stretch spandex pants, are great admirers of the bulls. There’s something that happens in the way the bulls move that benefit the pigs. Pigs, being pigs, are quick in defense of the bulls because, for a pig, there’s only one important thing; getting as much swill and offal as the belly can contain. Pigs are smarter than sheep. Sheep just want to graze and sheep are often and easily frightened. Pigs don’t frighten.

One thing for sure though, both of them wind up on the hooks.

But we were talking about big dogs and how they run the yard. Most people who were trained to respect authority believe that the big dogs have a right to run the yard. If the yard is well run they might be right. There’s this thing about respecting authority that causes one to see some things and not others. Maybe you see the uniform and not the man. Maybe you hear the words but don’t understand their meaning. It’s quite possible that the power of certain impressions on the human mind has made it very difficult for the little dogs to see that the big dogs are not really dogs and that the yard is no longer a yard but a sty.

For some reason, in America, a great many things appear to be different than they actually are. In a few short years the job market has disappeared. War has become a commonplace. Strife is ubiquitous and one’s former freedom of movement and expression has become tightly circumscribed. It’s getting worse all the time. Somehow the big dogs are now herding the sheep at the behest of the pigs and the bulls are off somewhere out of sight working through proxy’s that appear to be bulls but are actually pigs masquerading as big dogs. It’s confusing isn’t it?

What I wonder is what the sheep are thinking. As the sheep are being herded ever closer together on smaller patches of land; as the pressure grows and the fear increases, what will the sheep do?

Pigs have a reputation and this reputation has come about due to observing their behavior. When you call a person a pig it is because they are exhibiting certain qualities of behavior. Pigs never get enough. One might say that the ruling instinct of a pig’s behavior is appetite. They even look like that.

Just as there are rules of behavior that determine whether a society is successful there are also laws of nature that come into play depending on whether the behavior of the society moves too far toward either extreme. If you shit where you eat certain health conditions come into play. If business ignores the laws of the environment in which they produce their goods then something happens in that environment. If the conditions of life for the people are reduced to a point where pressure impacts on the valves then something has to give.

It’s hard to determine what truth is. A lie is not as hard to spot but a lie seldom remains static. You might say that the truth, whatever it is, doesn’t change but that a lie changes all the time, adapting to the needs of the intentions of the lie. If you keep modifying the lie the conditions of life continue to adapt to it until life itself is nothing but a lie adjusted to the imperatives of the lie.

Certain big dogs have morphed into pigs and this has caused a mutation in a segment of the population of little dogs that has morphed them into pigs. When the big pigs squeal then the little pigs squeal. There aren’t any big sheep. Once pigs take over it’s just a matter of time before everyone winds up on the hooks.

The evidence of corruption and venal intent is so great at the moment that only the truly blind cannot see it. Ordinarily there would be a hue and a cry; a general uproar, but somehow the information is constantly adjusted to give the impression that everything is just fine. This is because a very few pigs control everything that you hear. Everything is not fine. What’s going to happen?

Okay, let’s move away from all the allegory and metaphor and let’s look at what surrounds us. Let’s look at business and government. Let’s observe the pornographic interplay of these sweat hogs upon the bridal bed of life. Let’s observe the pimping of the youth. Let’s look at bloody war for gain and the unsettling of the entire world for the benefit of these wallowing swine. Let’s look at their plans for the future. No, it doesn’t look good for the sheep.

All across the world governments and their peoples are lining up at the entrance to the Judas Gate. They think the circus is in town. How did it get like this? Maybe while eternal vigilance was the price of liberty somebody fell asleep at the switch. It’s like the aftermath of Thanksgiving dinner; packed with heavy food and drink the nation fell asleep in their armchairs in front of the TV. Now the house is burning down. Perhaps the smell of mutton and pork will awaken them. Perhaps they will think it is time to eat again.

You have been warned. All too few Jeremiahs are crying from the hilltops but there are some. Either you think them mad or fear the association. Maybe you think you’ll wake up and the bad dream brought on by the bad food and too much drink will pass. I guess it was enough for you to get your little piece while the big dogs got their bigger piece. I guess you thought the system was good. Maybe you thought that authority was in place to ensure your future dinner table rights. You’ve turned into a nation of pigs and frightened sheep. Don’t be surprised when you wind up turning on a spit in the aftermath. This is probably just another way of bringing home the bacon.

How Bad is it Going to Get?

You’ve heard the phrases; “There’s one born every minute.” “You’ll never go broke underestimating the taste of the American Middle Class.” “You can fool some of the people some of the time.” and so on. It’s painful for me to watch it but I’m going to have to get over that because there isn’t anything I can do about it. Maybe bad shit happening is a natural condition of life. If so, that’s not the real tragedy. The real tragedy is that the general population never seems to learn anything from it. The even greater tragedy is that they keep getting fooled by the same things they saw last time.

I have a condition of mind that is apparently not shared by most of the rest of the people on the planet. Since it is at such a sharp variance with the way most people view existence it might well be considered a mental illness; after all, it diverges from the norm and... that’s how we define mental illness isn’t it? Of course, this is simplistic but trust me, we are dealing with some simple minds and techniques here. I have this annoying habit of questioning appearances and events.

As I have pointed out many times at my other site, Visible Origami, there are two forces constantly at work in the phenomenal universe. One of these forces seeks to enslave the human mind and profit from the confusion of its actions. The other force seeks to liberate the human mind from the first force. The interplay between these forces determines our circumstances in the moment. How we respond to them is evidence of which one we support. Of course, the first force always presents itself as the second force. It is an unfortunate condition of the ordinary mind to believe what it is told. Perhaps later, when they are hung on the hooks like butchered sheep they have some moments to reflect. We’ve all heard the phrase, “too little, too late.” also.

Most people have never heard of Prince Bernhard. He founded The Bilderberger organization

Who's in Bildergerger?

And

Just a little more

I’m not going to go into what this organization stands for. You can find this out on your own. Donald Rumsfield is a member, as is David Rockefeller and a number of other beautiful human beings who think you, yeah, ‘you’, are a beast of the field. Prince Bernhard has moved on. He left this vale of tears just last year. He came from the Netherlands; right up there near Denmark. It’s also called Holland.

Bilderberger is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. It’s basically a group of industrialists, politicians and elite movers and shakers who want to run the world. You might say it’s a group of the same who ‘do’ run the world. They use a lot of different methods to do this. They use economic and political force and sometimes just plain force but it’s always wrapped in a definition that presents itself as something else and it’s always for your own good. Like The Netherlands being Holland, it can call itself something else for the purpose of its agenda.

What’s that got to do with Denmark and these Islamic cartoons? Well, as you’ve heard, “the knee bone’s connected to the leg bone and the leg bone’s connected to the hip bone.”

The thing that always fascinates me is how people never draw the connection between something that happens at a distance on their television and the conditions of their own life. I’m even more fascinated that people can’t see what’s actually going on and instead are content to accept what they are told.

I’m just going to say some things here because I’ve got as much right to declare something to be true as the next man has. Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black and Rees-Mogg and the rest of the fat flies in the toilet bowl at the end of the world can say just about anything they want. They can lie and pander and present anything they like and you will swallow it. These men and the men they work for are all part of the club and unless you are really stupid; and in most cases that can be assumed, you know that they manufacture events and then they report on the meaning of the events and presto! That’s the way it is.

It’s no accident that those cartoons showed up in the newspapers and it is no mystery why. It’s also pretty much a given that the outrage that has been sparked by these cartoons is a brush fire set by these men in order to give a particular urgency to the manufactured perception of imminent danger from Iran.

IRAN IS NOT BUILDING A NUCLEAR WEAPON. That’s understood. Might they? That’s not the point. I might stab you with my butter knife at the breakfast table. Does that mean I should never be allowed to use anything but a spoon?

The real danger from Iran is the oil bourse that they are putting into play in March. They are leaving the bankrupt dollar and moving to the Euro. This will crash the American market. There is no more to say about it than that. That’s it.

Is it possible that Iran provides some assistance to the Iraqi insurgents? Yeah, so what? It’s a fact that the American fascists invaded a sovereign nation with no justification; a nation that borders Iran. It’s a fact that the Zionist interests which control America engineered this. It’s also a fact that Israel hates Iran no less than Iran hates Israel. It’s a fact that all of this hate and violence come out of the treatment of the Palestinian people at the hands of their oppressors. Could Israel and its puppet end the problems of the Middle East in a heartbeat? Absolutely. But that runs contrary to their hegemonic interests and it fucks with their control of the world and it fucks with the interests of Bilderberger which controls them. Somewhere in a small exclusive back room are a few men who control Bilderberger but I’m not going to visit that right now.

They intend to bomb Iran and visit some grief upon Lebanon and Syria while they are at it. They hope to change the geo-political face of the world in a very short period of time, maintain the status quo and gain control of the world’s oil. This is going to happen in March or early summer. Will it work out that way? There’s Russia and China to consider and so it’s going to be interesting to say the least. Of course, the men behind the men are in Russia and China too, so; who knows?

This cartoon issue is a manufactured event to present the face of Islam as a band of rampaging savages. That is the purpose of that. Rumsfield’s saber-rattling in Germany with Thatcher-clone Smirkel is syncopation to it; a pas de deux. All over the place events are bobbing up and down like rotten apples for the sole purpose of presenting a tableau. Rupert’s News Corp has been busy keeping the cartoons in the public eye while agitators flog the crowds into scary photo-ops.

Major kudos to Iran for holding a Holocaust cartoon contest; in spite of the grim aspect to coming events I had to laugh. “tit for tat” as the saying goes. Now, I’m not a Muslim and I’m not a Zionista. I’m not anything at all really. I’m just some guy who’s not fooled by the shell game. I believe in a higher destiny for the human race and a nobler purpose to life that we’ve seen far too little of for far too long.

The world is mass insanity; it’s always on the verge. A push here... a pull there... apply some pressure, whip up the fear. It certainly does seem like Europe would be the place for the next big terror attack. But wherever it hits it's pretty clear that they need one. Given the general capacity of people to believe appearances without looking past them, it sure would help the cause wouldn’t it? The American public is already in line and they’ve got the camps set up for those who disagree. Yeah, it’s just about time for one more nudge at the dominos.

The Anti-Semitic Club and the Dead Children

It really does appear that no one else has ever suffered or been put upon. It appears that what happened in Cambodia and Rwanda and Russia and Uganda and Armenia and and and wherever whatever didn't happen and people didn't suffer except for the only people who ever suffered well, I hope you know what I mean. If you criticize the only people who ever suffered you are turned into a pariah. If you question anything you can be thrown into jail. If your profession relies somewhat on reputation and the good will of those who may enjoy what you produce you can be destroyed. You can be destroyed not for actually having done anything and often not for having said anything. You can be destroyed just for asking why. When facts given don't match facts observable and you are puzzled you can be told, "Who are you going to believe? Me? ...or your lying eyes?" and furthermore you are told, "Shut the fuck up and watch your ass you filthy anti-semitic."

The biggest holocaust of the last milennium is 'slavery'. The numbers are the greatest. The length of time dwarfs all others so the extent of suffering does as well. Further, the conditions that it spawned remain with us today. Nothing that has happened is in the same league with this. Our duty as human beings is to work to prevent present and future events, not to wring every last bloody nickel from the past.

How did this term ever gain such a currency? How did this weapon, wielded at random and often upon whim; wielded the way those chosen for the inquistion were often chosen, for the same reasons that witches were often burned... because some one just didn't like them; something they said or did.... how did this become so much more dangerous that a bullet? When did the pursuit of truth become akin to the act of child molestation? And if you were to ask how is it that anyone could have this much power you are told that that is a lie and a slander on your part. It appears we must move through this life with our heads bowed before those who have no qualm about letting us know they are better and more important and more precious in the eyes of God than we will ever be. It appears that we might better spend our time less upon the concerns of material justice than upon something pedestrian and safe.

I'm not going to explore this because it isn't even the issue of this piece. Certainly it has a part in it but I wouldn't actually ever allude to or infer something that my lying eyes and filthy mind somehow constructed out of concrete evidence. And anyway... one could go on and on and on about it.

Any fool with the ability to read knows that the Iraqi War was initiated at the behest of pressure from Israel. The chief architects and promoters are all directly connected to her. Anyone reading today's papers knows that the biggest lobby for the coming assault on Iraq is Israel. And anyone anywhere near a TV knows that nearly all of the corruption affecting the American Congress is by provable trails connected to Israel or her bagmen or her agents abroad; whether it be Abramoff or AIPAC. Anyone who has even casually studied 9/11 can see the connection between Mossad and the attacks. The deeper you go the stronger the connections and don't get me started on Odigo or the thousands of inter-locking bits of data that all point in the same direction. But of course, none of this is true and I want to go on record as never having said any of it.

When Paul Wolfowitz was asked about the term 'neo-con' he said, "it's anti-semitic".

I need to point out at this juncture that I never wrote this piece and you are not reading it. Everything that you don't read after this is not actually written here. I don't exist and neither do any of the things that I didn't say.

Everyone knows that if the Palestinian Apartheid situation did not exist there would be no reason for 90% of the things that happen it the Mid-East and upon which all of the present madness is based by connection one way or another. Everyone knows that Israel was the biggest supporter and assistant to the South African Apartheid State... or maybe they don't. I don't know that and it can't be true even if it is. Once, not really knowing much about a lot of what I now don't know I was at a nasty little forum site on an internet far away and someone posted a list of all of the owners and operators of the MEDIA. He pointed out that it was largely run by Jews; meaning also controlled by. He set off a shitstorm. I didn't know if this was true and I didn't really care. But I was curious why he couldn't say this if it was true. So I asked this question, "Is there something wrong with someone asking a question? Is this true or isn't it? If it isn't, wouldn't it be useful to prove it out? And if it is, is there anything wrong with pointing it out? Well, my shitstorm was even bigger. I was stunned. But the good thing is that none of this ever happened and since I haven't written any of this I don't have anything to worry about.

This brings me to my point. During the Israeli-Palestinian romance, 200 children have been shot for throwing stones. They are killed because- so they say- Palestinian gunmen use them for shields but so far no international observers or reporters have spotted this. Asma al-Moghraia, age 14, went up on her roof to gather laundry and got a bullet from a sniper who must have been bored or pissed at his wife because there doesn't seem to be any other reason (and then he shot her little brother too). Iman al-Hams, a nine year old girl, was wandering around some 200 feet from an IDF outpost and, I guess she looked suspicious so they shot her and she ran and an Army Commander went after her and unloaded a clip into her young body. This is called, "confirming the kill.". There are many, many, many, many stories like this. The horrible things happening in Palestine beggar belief. In Gaza, half the people are under 16 years old. Just yesterday or the day before they blew away another little girl. They say her stomach was exploded from where the bullets hit. These IDF guys thought she might suddenly leap a hundred yards from where she was wandering around and blow them up. What I then wonder is... did the price of megaphones and sirens and warning shots and whatever other solutions there might have been... did the price of them go up so high that they can't use them? Are all the other options besides the outright slaughter of children just too unsafe or not cost effective? Because you see, here I am asking a question that my occasionally rational mind wonders about and I just don't get it. I know there has to be something I'm missing because otherwise I am anti-semitic. What's even more confusing is if you take all of this behavior and I'll give you just one link with links up the non-existant wazoo

About as clear as it gets

and you factor it in with every other thing that hasn't been mentioned in this piece that wasn't written that you aren't reading... well, that's scary and it's a good thing I'm not trying to put that together.

Oh, I know there's more to it. I know that both sides hate each other. But the thing is, it's like 9 year olds with rocks going up against fully armed SWAT teams and the 9 year olds have their reasons and the guys with the SWAT teams could very quickly do something about those reasons and ensure a lot more peace than you have but... for some reason they don't want to do this and that has something to do with the theme of Zionism which, correct me if I'm wrong; the founder, Theodor Herzl said that anti-semitism should be used as a club at any and all times to ensure that the needs of Zionism should be met. He said it didn't matter if it was true or not or relevant or not as long as it advanced the cause. If it were verbatim it would be in quotes; but what does it matter? I didn't say any of this and neither did he.

I don't know, maybe the whole thing is a lot more complicated than I get. The part that isn't complicated is the ongoing murder of children; not as a result of collateral damage or bad lighting but what seems to be target practice and a contempt for life. Well, it's hard to imagine having more contempt than what it takes to zone in on children who arent' even throwing rocks but who might be making dirty laundry bombs or something. I hope you'll read that link I didn't put here in this piece you aren't reading. Now, using kids for target practice is bad enough but when there is an ongoing systematic slaughter of people in various locations all based on the idea that some rag-tag bunch of former goatherding mountain dwellers is about to take over the world when, it appears, somebody already did that well... and further... when the trend of events seems determined to plunge the whole world into disorder and war and when most of what is taking place is based on False Flag operations and strangely appearing video tapes of people who are dead and passports that fall out of the sky while Air Traffic Controller tapes are chopped up and distributed into different waste containers then I just have to ask you... doesn't this all seem unnecessary and absurb? Doesn't it seem insane?

Well, we know by now in this piece I never wrote that I am not only a filthy anti-semitic but that I am delusional too and it's a good thing for you that this piece you aren't reading never got written because otherwise you would be more than a tad suspect for reading it and in this world that doesn't exist, that I fabricated, the next step is that you are going to be in a whole lot of trouble just for reading it, never mind about me. I don't exist.


"For Asma al-Moghraia"

the cross-hairs fix
across the rooftops
wind from the south-
....five knots
and leading
across the space where birds
have flown
but now
in the hunter's eye
the young girl's form
moves
in laughing dance
arms gathering the laundry

she dreams
and surely she must hope

as finger tightens
upon trigger...

when it came
the explosion was
of such a force that
he came too

like Romeo's ghost upon
the imagination's palanquin of night

the bearers of the darkness
they toiled
underneath the thrust
of bullet and finger touching
the silenced heart
and
blood like a fountain
sprayed upon the sheets...
....some secret code
...that she read as
she fell dying to the roof

this-
his Rachel Corrie moment come
round at last.




Thank you for not having read this. I forgot to forget to add that just about NEVER is any punitive action taken against these killers. They are routinely exonerated. Can you imagine any country in the world where you can use children for target practice... not once... but over and over and... nothing gets said about it? How come it never shows up in the news as a shocking event, condemned and deplored? See, I'm still scratching my head and I don't want to think what my logical mind might come up with. And since the link I gave was over a year old it always helps to update with recent observations. Here by the same blogger Lawrence_of_Cyberia

Give Me Some Answers and I will Change my Mind

We now know that the last several elections were decided by fraud. We know that Al Gore won the 2000 election and we know that due to election fraud in Ohio that John Kerry actually won the 2004 election as well.

Since George W. Bush came to power there has been a consistent and concerted effort to undermine The Constitution; to remove environmental protections, to make illegal wars against sovereign nations, to enrich the rich and weaken the middle class, to do away with valuable social programs, to engage in crime at high corporate and political levels, to threaten, bully and arm-twist abroad and to institute a police state domestically.

We have been led to believe that all of these unfortunate trends and events are due to the threat of some vast, organized enemy in the shadows. We are led to believe that a small collection of widely dispersed radicals are responsible for this.

We can’t lay all of the blame off on G. W. Bush. He’s neither smart enough nor strong enough to be responsible. A casual look at the man shows a flawed personality with a mediocre intellect. He’s an inarticulate buffoon. So who is responsible? Whenever you want to find out what powers the masthead cutting through the ocean waves you have to consider who’s steering the ship …and what cargo is aboard will tell you who launched it. Bush can’t ride a bicycle often enough and things like a Sedgeway baffle him.

As hard as it may be for people to penetrate the curtains that conceal the wizard and the machinery, one feature is always available for your analysis and that is ‘cui bono’; who profits? Major corporations brought Bush to power. It is also true that when corporations run government, fascism is the result.

Most of the strange changes in American direction and infrastructure are based on reactions in the aftermath to the 9/11 attacks. In this case we have many inexplicable occurrences that cannot be accounted for in the official explanation. We have Israelis dancing on rooftops after the attack. We find that their vans contain box cutters and other questionable paraphernalia. We learn that they are connected to the Mossad but we are told we cannot be told more. We find that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition but we don’t know by whom and we don’t know why. We hear Netanyahu say about 9/11 “It's very good....... Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)" and we hear Sharon say to Peres, "don't worry about American pressure, we control America." We hear about AIPAC spying and we see that the membership of PNAC; which called for a ‘new Pearl Harbor’ is loaded with pro-Israel neo-cons. We hear about a network of Israeli art students moving freely through government buildings in Washington. Only someone very stupid or very frightened would fail to make the connection that Israel is deeply involved in the bad things happening to America.

We move along to Jack Abramoff. We move along to Mohammed Atta and his associates being on a Jack Abramoff gambling boat. We move along to Abramoff’s connections to Israel. It should make you wonder. But you won’t say anything. You won’t say anything because you will be called an anti-Semitic. Somehow this phrase is charged with instant career and reputation destroying force. So it appears or is compelled to appear in this “1984” newspeak world that what you see you do not see; what you hear you do not hear, what you conclude you cannot conclude because of Room 101.

If someone can reasonably explain the few things I have mentioned here to me so that they form a different conclusion I will immediately adjust my findings. I will. If someone can explain to me what Odigo and all of the other Israeli companies were up to when they got connected to the things they got connected to; if they can explain it in a different light, I will listen. If someone can explain to me about how the same Israeli security firm was in charge of all affected 9/11 airports, the Madrid train station and the London tube at the time of the attacks; if they can give me some rational explanation that differs from the natural assumptions I would make, I will listen. If someone can explain to me a different reading on the remarks of Theodor Herzl and the cynical use of the label ‘anti-Semitic’ to advance the cause of Zionism I am willing to listen. If someone can explain to me how the treatment of Palestinians in Israel and the surrounding territories; can explain to me how this is not apartheid I will listen. If someone can explain to me why the Israelis supported the South African government's apartheid and assisted and instructed them in it’s application; if you can explain to me how this was really a human interest effort, I will listen. If you can explain to me how the Lavon affair and the attack on the U.S. Liberty are something other than they appear to be, I will listen. If you can convince me that the phrase, “By way of deception thou shalt make war.” and its connection to these and a multitude of other events; phony anti-Semitic attacks in France that were revealed to be perpetrated by Israeli interests, the phony (and ONLY) Al Qaeda cell in Palestine that was staffed by Israelis and... and... it just goes on and on.

I am endangered by my love of the truth. I am in trouble because I cannot force myself to swallow a lie. I am made vulnerable by a mind that adds and sorts and wonders instead of lying out of sight and letting the world go on… one shit-brick of lies laid upon another until there are more buildings bigger than the WTC that can only be brought down by cosmic lightning. I can tell you this, shit stinks when it burns.

I want my questions answered. If my questions cannot be answered other than with answers that are not answers; or with justifications for any and all behavior, or with a suggestion that I shut up, or because of national security or any other subterfuge then what am I to believe? What am I to think? What? Should I walk through the looming Judas Gate with all of the other sheep hoping for the best? The Iraq war was unnecessary. The certain bombing of Iran that is scheduled for sometime in the first half of this year is unnecessary. Most of all, the treatment of the Palestinians, which is the basis for all of the uproar in the Middle East, is unnecessary. It just doesn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to.

I’m tired of people dying for the wrong reasons. I’m tired of special interests and the agendas of a vicious minority, making canon fodder out of humanity. I am tired of useful lies and a controlled media and hegemony and all of the ugly permutations of the world of business, grinding the unfortunate beneath the hobnailed boots of progress. I’m tired of all these bright shining futures with their bombastic poorly written soundtracks. Neither my spirit nor my blood is strong enough in sacrifice to redeem the stupidities of the age. It appears even the spotless lamb could not accomplish it. I am no spotless lamb.

I don’t love one country more than another. I don’t appreciate one people more than another. I understand the struggle to survive though I cannot always understand the need to struggle against imaginary enemies; not when the solution to real problems involves a mere increase in understanding and natural generosity.

As much as we are the moment and as much as the moment has no definition or meaning except what we give it, we are the future too. If we have not the courage of real conviction; if we do not possess a clear and fair vision we will perish. Until the greatest good for the greatest number of people becomes the greatest concern of the greatest number of people we will continue to be the indentured serfs of a black nobility whose harvests are the certain death of all our hopes.

We cannot improve ourselves and our world if we do not ask questions. We have no hope of a personal choice in our destination if we are only along for the ride. I bring forth these questions in the hope of true answers, not for provocation. I really do want to know why. Give me some answers and I will go away.

Black Jack Abramoff's Technicolor Rat Jacket

Is he a scheming, unprincipled manipulating weasel? Is he a soulless and vain travesty upon the human form? Is he a murderer and a conspirator; soon to be cosmic finger-pointing rat? Is he the Tweedledum bookend to Ton Delay’s Tweedledee? Is he the ringmaster icon for neo-con agendas, or is he just a pimp working his neighborhood with the blessings of one of the five crime families? …metaphorically speaking.

Of course he is all of the above and it doesn’t matter if he is “the man who squats behind the man that works the soft-machine” or the man behind that man. It doesn’t matter. He is going down …or soon to slip the coils of justice for foreign shores.

What is most strange about this whole affair and the affairs of Delay and Kenny Lay and the whole PNAC lineup at the AIPAC dinner for the New World Order is the way justice seems to find its way through the barricades, the way death gets past all the money and security the world can bring; into the homes of the rich and the powerful when their time has come. It’s a wonder how a handful of brave and relentless investigators can get past the resistance of the collected efforts of the United Fascist Putsch. How does that happen? Some might argue for a divine intelligence and some may say there is a force that lives in humanity that forever tips the scales back toward center. Like the workings of natural forces we use but do not understand, somehow it happens and it is really happening now.

There are the obvious crimes that you are finally hearing about. Because I’m an Op-Ed sort of a guy you won’t be getting a myriad of links that you can use to educate yourself about them. My feelings are that if you don’t know some part of what’s going on by now then you are an incurious, stupid lout like your twice-unelected fraud… The Little Furher who thought he could. My feeling is that if you aren’t by now well informed about what happened in Florida in 2000 and in Ohio in 2004; in many places in 2002 and at dozens of levels dealing with fraud, obfuscation, murder, torture and the rape of Constitutional documents then you probably don’t give a rats ass or you are really, really bone-deep stupid; possibly both.

Let’s just say Black Jack is the poster boy for Republican and neo-con mega-corruption. If you don’t have questions about how the WTC buildings came down, or you can’t somehow get the feeling, with all of the hundreds of connections and inconsistencies these last five years are filled with. then it is pointless for me to draw you a picture. I’m going to assume you are with me except for some parts you just haven’t heard about in the ‘liberal’ press.

What was Mohammed Atta & Friends doing aboard one of Jack Abramoff’s casino boats a week before the 9/11 attacks?

What’s the deal with the murder of Gus Boulis; the former owner of the SunCruz casino ships and Abramoff’s rise to power?

What the Hell, I will give you one link and then you can even go google a king’s ransom more if you’re in the mood.

Milk from a Mad Cow

I’ll just hang out until you’re finished with this article. Here’s a tip, read the whole page. It isn’t that much. It may help you as we go along.

We’ve heard the term where there’s smoke there’s fire. We here at Smoking Mirrors know a little something about that. But when you see a wall of fire then you don’t need smoke to make you wonder.

Here’s another question; if all of these things link together and connect… uh… do they connect? And, if we know what we do know then what are the things we don’t know? Can we assume that the things we don’t know are pretty much like the things we do? For instance, if a guy has a record for sticking up liquor stores can we assume he stuck up a few we didn’t hear about? Can we assume he might have indulged in other crimes as well; unless he’s some sort of a weird purist? God knows we do have a few weird purists in the mix when you throw in the Christian right. What’s the correct interpretation of the phrase, ‘pure bullshit’?

What the Hell was Mohammed Atta and his crew doing on Jack Abramoff’s boat? And if that is some kind of strange coincidence then; what are all of these other coincidences?

What’s that bit in the PNAC charter about the need for a New Pearl Harbor?

Now the thing that I probably wonder the most about is how such a huge body of people can just whistle past the graveyard. What is that strange dimensional twist on reality that makes it possible for people to ignore what they see; to explain it to themselves in terms that make it okay? In what location in the human psyche do people make their deal with the lies and bullshit? How is it that the Secret Policeman’s Ball is held over and over again and you get fooled over and over again? Is it indifference? Is it cowardice? Is it the blinding influence of your appetites? Are you just as messed up in your own way as the big vermin you applaud for? Is it a right makes might thing? Is it an, “I got mine, get the fuck off my land and out of my way.” sort of thing? Is it some kind of gas or something in the water?

It’s a new year now. I saw the New Year this morning when I walked into town to get some bread and stepped on and over all the wet rocket cylinders and exploded garbage of the night before that was the year before. I saw the new year in the bloodshot eyes of the people for whom hope springs eternal while cities burn and each New Year turns into the next old year. The only New Year that counts is the one where you wake up and change your life because otherwise the Ferris wheel is just going to go round again and you’ll just be a year older; a year stupider, a year disappearing into a waistline widening as you go on with the vain hopes you never took the trouble, nor had the faith or courage to manifest; just wishing in one hand and shitting in the other.

I thought about what a great firework display they must have had in Iraq last night. I thought about how it’s New Year’s Eve there every night. They get the 4th of July every day and since what is supposed to happen never happens it just never ends.

They got what they got because people lied and people died. And just about everything you’ve heard has been a lie and it hasn’t seemed to matter. First thing this morning the new lies of the New Year went up. Business as usual. But something different is going on. Slow… slow like FEMA in Katrina-land… slow… but change is in the wind. What are they going to do?

What do you suppose a pack of criminals has to do when their backs are against the wall? What did they do before? What have they been doing? What do you think they might do? What do you suppose you have to do with the attention when the attention is all over you? When you’re a criminal caught in the headlights you have got a few options. Even if they carry you away, you got a few options. Rats never stop thinking about how to get away and you got to remember… they’re rats.

It should be a very interesting year. I hope you have a good one. I sincerely hope you wake up. It’s always dangerous when you don’t pay attention.
