Quick, to the point.

Clinton could not define "is" and Bush needs to learn the meaning of "leak". For President it is inexcusable, but for Supreme Court Justice it is unthinkable to put a man who apparently could not define the word "in". As in "In the Federalists" which he must have misdefined or surely he would have admitted his leadership role of said group. How can we trust Roberts to define Our Constitiution when we can not trust him with a simple preposition?

Oh, and an afterthought regarding McCain-Fiengold (legislation that Roberts will someday judge)-
Funny, the Right wants my words. The Left wants my guns. If I did not know better I might believe the 2 party system is a sham designed to keep everyone playing the blame game while the rich loot the ranch. But that would cause a ridiculous bi-polar electorate too busy arguing talking points to see their own shared goals. oh wait...

The Da Bya Code

Ok, this one is short. I finally figured out what is going on. This whole Katrina Issue left a nagging question in the back of my head. After reviewing memo's, policy directives, etc. I noticed a repetitive pattern of "Tomorrow" "At the meeting tomorrow." and the like. The White House shuts down at 5pm et. No exceptions. In case of Emergency, please hold and an operator will be with you in the morning. What kinda crap is that? Look at the memos and what not yourself. Check it out. Everything occurring after noon or 1pm pt is slotted for a next day meeting. Even his trips to the Gulf photo shoot are wrapped up and done by that time. That does explain a lot. I have had more commitment to dishwashing jobs. I know day laborers who will stick around if things need finishing. God forbid anyone from a hostile country figures out our Easily invaded window.
One more thing for the code. Whenever Bush says something, anything really but dramatic global ideas work the best... Put the word "Mostly!" at the end of his sentences. It's funny and it illuminates the reality within his obfuscation. "We gonna do what's right, mostly." "I want to see the truth prevail, mostly."

That's it for know.

An Actual Conspiracy Theory for Comparison

With the 4th Anniversary of 9-11 still in our memory I thinks it's time someone clarifies the difference between the terms: Conspiracy Theory, Criminal Allegation, and Psychotic Delusion. This should be self explanatory, but apparently it isn't. OK here goes:
Conspiracy Theory- an as of yet unproven, but logically sound argument involving a criminal act planned by 2 or more people.
Criminal Allegation- An accusation of illegal activity
psychotic Delusion- An unfounded belief. Thinking that Dubya is honest, caring or Compassionate. Hell, fiscally he is not even a Conservative.

In the 4 years since 9-11 the field of microbiology has had an abnormally high drop out rate. When I checked last, 89 of the world's top Viral Pathologists and researchers had met their demise at the hands of ???. Well, no one knows. As of yet there are still no convictions or even notable investigations into this anomaly. Add to that the increased budget of our defense department, notably in the field of bioweapons as mentioned in Congress yesterday by Representative McKinney of Georgia
"Now, another thing that we need to know about, there are so many things that our government does in our name with our tax dollars, on our behalf supposedly, that we do not know about. The Bush administration has opened up these biodefense labs all over the country. In about 20, 25 universities around the country we
have got biodefense labs studying I do not know what. I can remember the Tuskegee Study. I remember MK-Ultra as an African American. I remember Paul Robeson. But Tulane University is under water, and Tulane University houses one of these biodefense labs.
We need to know what the heck was in that lab, what was going on in that biodefense lab."

Factor in the recent transformation of New Orleans into the largest Petri dish in Human History. And what do we have? I don't know, but it scares the crap out of me.
As of yet this is not even a conspiracy theory yet. As you can see, my research is adequate, but I have yet to offer a hypothesis as to who or why. Eventually, if searches pan out, facts stand up and everything checks out, this radom wondering might become a Conspiracy Theory. So, before you write CTs off as paranoia, run your personal beliefs and pardigm through this process. See if anything you "know" to be true holds up as well as a conspiracy theory. I think you will be surprised.

The Produced Reality issue 1

I would like to thank everyone involved in the spread of this info. On both sides of the argument. Whether you are liberal, conservative, or other you have to have noticed the lack of actual information coming down the newswire of late (of late? How bout as long as I can recall it has been steadily getting worse.) The Right sees a left bias, and the Left sees a right bias, I see a corporate bias against the public interest. Any way you see it, it is a problem for all of us. I'm certain that everyone agrees that the mainstream media has abandoned their duties. I realized one day, about a year ago, that I could knew more about the everyday goings on IN Paris Hilton than in Paris, France. That I knew more about the complexities of Bennifer than the EU. This is embarrassing but, I still have a better understanding of the conflict between Hillary Duff and Lindsey Lohan than I do about the US/ N. Korean impasse. The News has become the opiate of the masses. It decides elections, tragedies, and agendas. This latest tragedy in New Orleans is bad, really bad, but it is not any worse than the daily atrocities in Danfur. Too bad no one knows what or where Danfur is.
The networks assail us with soundbytes and polls marketed for the sole purpose of widening the chasm between the two points of view in this country. Wait, how do we have only two points of view. We rarely see two matching eyewitness accounts about anything, but every news worthy event can be pidgin holed into two narrow mindsets. You will never see a random man on the street interview that sounds like' "Well, I am angry at FEMA for not taking charge of the situation, but the Mayor should have stepped up the moment he realized that federal aid was not forthcoming. Instead, locals veritably campaigned blame forcing the federal govt into a defensive media blitz of their own." Thousands of people died! Officials from both camps squandered life saving resources filming 'See how much I care? I am flying over and assessing damages, thru this little window." advertisements for themselves.
We can satellite image anything and it would make sense to have the officials coordinating rescue efforts, in contact with eachother. Why is it that they did not all go to a primary headquarters and work together to help the people of New Orleans? Why? Because of the popularity contest we call Politics. Corporate sponsored, media screened, governmental lies and abuses, oh my. I saw a quote the other day, "The news is what they hide from us, the rest is advertising." Yup, fraid so... Rove and his talking points, the nightly news has controlled our watercooler talk for generations. They also ensure what we aren't talking about by ridiculing the topic. Polls push opinion to the "Winning side" soundbites anger us by picking the most asinine confrontational opinions and slamming them into us repeatedly.
I sent out an email, which I will be the first to admit, was slanted straight from an Anti-Bush position. I have since been in contact with a lot of people. In four days the email and email postings have bashed from both sides into an almost middle ground opinion. If we allowed for contrary voices in our discussion groups, we might actually figure out how to fix our problems.

I for one am open to some new ideas.

Why we need the Lurkers

Here is an e-mail I received recently:
"So now we're going to blame this unfortunate natural disaster on the President? Give me a freakin break! Way to go Reverend X! Instead of pointing your finger and using it to type out idiotic farces on your interpretation of past political decisions why don't you lift that mighty finger of yours and lend a hand to our brothers in need in La, Miss, and Ala. You really think the President has weakened National security and that's why the Gulf region was hit by this Hurricane? President Bush in his tenure. Is responsible for global warming? Oh yeah, and let's not forget that if 35% more of our Louisisana National Guard was still here that everybody would have been saved by now! I've seen my dog out in the yard use more thought to create a turd than this dumb ass used on these couple shitty paragraphs. How about let's not send this out to anybody and focus our energies on the problem at hand rather than try to turn it into another reason to bash the President. Holy crap.......Unbelievable! "

The writer's anger is perfectly justified. He also has done me the service of working as my editor. I do not spend much of my time writing anymore since I realized that 5 minutes of flash can do more than a million novels no one is going to read anyways. That being so, sometimes I leave out important details. Thank you, all, for reminding me.
Here are the points I should clarify:
1) I don't blame Bush for the hurricane. Much the same way that I would not hold a skydiving instructor who removed a students parachute just prior to yelling jump. Accountable for gravity. The gravity is merely the unwitting and uneffectable assistant in the murder. It is the conscious removal of the necessary safeguards that I blame the Bush Admin's Core policies for. The premeditated, obsequious push is the crime, not the proximity to mass.
2) Even though Al mixed his modifiers again, I think it is important to answer the National Security question. Yes, Bush has overextended our defense force, resources, and response capabilities to the point of vulnerability. You want more proof? Watch TV some more, they run the evidence backing my claim every 15 minutes. I won't jump to conclusions and say that the difference in response time from 9-11 and now is Bush's fault because of the Iraq War. I see the distinct possibility that the quasi-prescient reaction time of FEMA, the FBI and the rest of the Fed Gov on 9-11, had more to do with their knowledge of the plan and involvement in it's implementation. Much like a hacker writing antivirus code. Make the fix, cause the problem.
3) Bush, in his tenure on the throne, took an environment teetering on the edge of disaster and drove a humvee into while drinking Mad Dog 20/20. Cause Global Warming? No. Give it the oomf felt round the world? Yes.
4) 35% of total National guardsman. 95% of Combat/ Security/ Rifle guardsman.
5) "turd, ass, shitty, crap, energy, hand, turn." Fixated on something there Al?
Possibly your dog's something? You perv!"

New Orleans, Appropriated

Ok, this is a serious issue so I will refrain from sarcasm, as much as I can. First off, here is all the linking I will do on this one. Undernews covers it perfectly .
New Orleans is lost. Lost to a War we never should have gotten into. Sounds like I am reaching for tin foil hat dreams. Not in the slightest. This is a direct cause/ effect relationship between the Administrations policies and the death of an as of yet untold number of American Citizens.
9 years ago the vulnerability of New Orleans and it's region was noted, acted upon and allocated for repair funds. This was put in effect prior to Bush taking office. The funds were later APPROPRIATED for the Iraq War. No one seemed to pay attention to all of the appropriation bills breezing through Congress. All that mattered was blind devotion to patriotism. Where did you think the money was being appropriated from? The Federal Budget consists of X amount of money with X being a FINITE amount. Pull an increased percentage for one part of the Budget and it must be taken away from another. Our Nation's overall infrastructure has been raped to the bone. This is just the beginning. New Orleans was not singled out for short funding. This has happened everywhere. Now add to that overall weakening of our National Security, the increased hazards caused by Bush's abandonment of Environmental Policy. New Orleans once again being the Model of things to come, here is an example. This Tragedy also would not have been able to happen were it not for GLOBAL WARMING. Temperatures on the Surface of the Gulf of Mexico accelerated a Class One Hurricane into a Class Four. I know the No Child Left Behind educational program has slowed us all mentally but try to remember science class... When heated molecules move faster, and so on and so forth. Fortunately New Orleans is surrounded by conserved wetlands which slow storms down... But Bush nixed those environmental Protection Laws too and let developers drain them. Each by itself might not have been able to do this much damage, but thanks to the recurring and consistent pattern of disregard to anything outside of personal ambition, America is vulnerable from all sides.
"We fight them over there so we do not have to fight them here!" -bush has said that constantly. Well, with that logic why did he not send the National guard to fight the flood waters in the Persian Gulf so we would not have to fight them here? It woulda been easier due to 35% of Louisianna's National Guard is there and not here. How many more could have been saved if they were Guarding the nation instead of nation building somewhere else???!!!!
"And you will know them by the Fruits of their labors." Matthew 7: read the whole thing.
And as I said "We've only just begun.... To feel the effects of our arrogance and blind devotion to his cause."
We can't afford to sit back and hope for the best any longer.

Finding the Terrorists

This entry is Prefaced by this e-mail which has been going around.

1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Siran Siran, officially, even though the bullet trajectory could not have come from sirans position. also, Siran fired 11 shots from his revolver, officially, without reloading and in under 10 seconds. On top of all that, psychological profiling uncovered extensive mental conditioning of the kind studied, practiced, and used, never officially, by the CIA division called project MK Ultra, run by Caucasian males aged 40-60.

In 1979 the Hostages in Iran were held for 180 days longer than their Captors had planned on keeping them, due to a deal brokered between the Iranian Revolutionary govt. and then candidate Ronald Reagan's staff. Reagan wanted to ensure that Carter's approval rating stayed low, hostage release might have inconvenienced him. In exchange the Iranians received weapons and munitions, illegally, from the US in order to fight the Iraqi Invasion. These shipments did not include Haz-Mat gear or anything else to help the Iranians protect themselves from the Sarin and VX gas which the US was supplying to the aforementioned Iraqi side. Simultaneously supplying both sides of a bloody War and knowingly not giving any warning or assistance/protection to the civilian populations targeted by Iraqi chemical weapons( targeted using US computers, on US intelligence maps and delivered to Iraq personally by , none other than Donald Rumsfeld.) One of the many Caucasian Males aged 40-60 involved in this bit of profiteering

During the 1980's people from all over the world were kidnapped, killed or otherwise affected by the multi factioned civil war in Beirut. Other than the scarce native population, anyone residing in that city was there either to fight the War or profit from it. The Caucasian Males aged 40 -60 who ended up captured or killed knew the risks going in and chose to value money over their own well being. The vast majority came back rich enough to buy a Presidency 20 yrs later.

As for the more current events, 9/11 I will refer you to either former Bush administrator Morgan Reynolds or Dr David Griffin's 9/11 report, Omissions and Distortions. As you will soon see, 9/11 was an Arab free action taken on by Caucasian males aged 40-60, and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were planned and put in motion prior to 9/11. As far as the Muslim male extremists involvement, I hardly think it logical claim the invaded are at fault for their fate. The blame for the two wars and the two towers lies squarely upon Caucasian males aged 40-60.

And on a related topic. Caucasian males aged 40-60 account for88.9% of all child molestation in this country. Their % rate is even higher within the Catholic scandal.
That being said, it would appear that a distinct pattern has developed. The good news? At 40 men usually undergo their first prostate exam. It would be easy enough, and beneficial to their health for us to create legislation dictating the removal of every Caucasian male's prostate during that initial exam. That procedure would eradicate prostate cancer completely, while seriously diminishing molestations in America and, theoretically, calming the war like tendencies of the Caucasian males aged 40-60.

How does profiling sit with ya now? There is an old story I used to hear when I was a child, it goes like this,"When they came for them I said nothing. Then later, when they came for those people, I said nothing. When they came for me, there was no one left to say a thing." There is a name for people who allow their fears to decide their fates. They are called Cowards.They die a thousand deaths in their own imaginations. Those who push their fears aside and do what is right, will be spared such a fate. They will only die once. Fear and hate.... does that star spangled banner yet wave, in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave

The Fall, step by step.

If he had only used a different line. Somethin' like, "There's a new Sheriff in Town!" or "How do ya like me now?". But unfortunately, he is dubya's father and the metaphor falters close to the tree, if you will. Nope, he was so cocky after winning a real life bona-fide War that he whipped open a fresh pack of Machiavelli slips and said "...The New World Order...". The rest of the sentence went the way of Neil's debts, lost to the world outside of a few 12th year college students. I think, no.. I'm fairly certain this was the the spark that lit the bong that kept the son from showin up to fight and possibly die in Viet Nam. Yes, this was the proverbial first book of Prose given to Dennis Miller. The first crooked monopoly set in lil Dicky Cheney's hands. The 500th "tried all night" defeat at the hands of the Game of Risk Club, Special Olympics Squad, for Donald the Defeatable Rumsfeld.
If the elder Bush had not said exactly what was on his mind that day, this would have all gone down a lot easier, smoother, dare I say, Kerry-esque. One bit of preemptive honesty and a President went from 90% approval to losing to a Sax player whose abysmally poor taste in food is only outdone by his arkansahishly poor taste in women. That had to HURT. Well, serves him right. New World Order? What was he thinking using the name of his secret club in reference to the lack of an opposing superpower at that moment. BTW, any reds who think we are still preeminent globally, 2 lil hints... One-China Motherf**ker! And two- you are now the "Reds". Christ what does it take to get thru to these guys, 4 hurricanes in six weeks at the state that made their guy Prez, just prior to his reelection? Nevermind, they missed those also.
Where was I? Oh yeah, so Bush1 blew the whole surprise and set back plan for the man by 10 years. Not a long time in comparison to the Illuminati, but these guys are old. 10 yrs is the difference between month long Viagra Vacations and Sunday morning Depends Drives. So they had to get er dun, pronto.
First step, polarize the petty opinions of the populace. Sound whacko? Here's Waco! The only tangible effect of that media molestered mass murder was the perma stamp of Godless Government Goons on the Democraps. My whole cousin clan ran to the hills with their M-16s, Good News '4-us-not-u' bibles and family sized tubs of personal lube. It was a chain reaction of paranoid Christian salvation. The Rapture- 'limited edition'. Nobody noticed it at the time, but where do you think all these 'Holier than thou once I drain this clip into ya!' big picture Buhner's came from. Waco, Ruby Ridge, and somehow... Elian Gonsalez fits into this, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. or why.
So, they've Snuffed a Sect, next step F*ck up a Federal Building. They did not worry about frequent flyer miles back then, they just hit the next Stuckey's on the way to Washington. Oddly enough, the lack of geographical literacy and the overflowing absolutist mentality worked out well for them. Everything they wasted with their Mid west... Wait Middle East.... ah what's the difference? attitude garnered less public inquiry than a preempted Matlock rerun. To an objective viewer, the OKC bombing was a catastrophic failure. Bomb squad arrived pre-boom, expendable badges, bailiffs and bureaucrats all exitted and were quite explicably not amongst the exhumed and extricated exoxygen exchangers. Sorry, that was way too much adherence to a pattern. Just tryin to make myself known to the Scrabble Elite. Oh, not too mention, the guys who made the bombs forgot to brief the guys who wrote the investigational Cliff Notes, on explosives and exactly what was to be in the explanation. Scrabble Elite, soon... So, 4800#s of Anfo becomes Fat Man and Little Boy to some experts. Not any with any expertise, but what the Hell. And viola! Proof that no one cares what objective viewers think anyways. Personally, I've always suspected that objective was just a fancy way of describing people who don't think like the rest of us and like to argue bout it. Now we'll switch to 1st person view as the action heats up. I'll trim a couple corners, too. Remember, this is fiction, art, not my fault if life imitates it.
Give a buddy $$ to open a voting machine manufacturing company, make sure he names it after a Bruce Willis action flic "Die Bold"... What? Hard you say, F*ck it, Ohio is in the Midwest, won't hurt anything important... Damn Titular errors. There's an idea, get a Rabid Prosecutor on the President's ass about tits and ass to the point the whole country would rather hold the Executive Branch Above the Law than listen to one more Starr talk about Oral Sex, wow! On a roll, you let it ride! Impeach the Fat Guy for nothing and ensure nothing will be able to impeach you, no matter who learns the skinny. Well, better find a hobby while that Tripp plays out. Aha, you always wanted to kill some Texans, damn retards. We all know the story there.
Election Eve, 8years in the making and finally... You lose. Elections are all about numbers and delegates. You've never cared enough to pay attention to those pesky things before, so why start now. Call your mother. Call your brother. Now call the other guy, the a**hole who won, a sore loserman. Bingo it was the name, oh!
Now you are the most powerful man in the world that no one likes. What do they like? Cool skyscrapers... Show em all what you think of their pointy assed skyscrapers. And wammo, you got whole Nation of people who like you and as a bonus, they want you to bomb those brown guys who live in Asia and don't have Mexican food or cervesa. No flautas, no future!
Ok, and the rest is still his story. But you broke your only in the Mid/middle rule. You kicked those building's asses in NY. Now, that's an understandable mistake being that you ain't city folk, but lemme explain why it's wrong. In NY, tradition means nothing and people flip flop, not their shoes. And it's not really a bad thing to change your mind or learn from your mistakes. It's evolution rea... oh nevermind. back to your story...Sure, you snowed em at first with your 7 minute pause to thoroughly think through your options, but in NY they hang huge TV's from Buildings and sooner or later someone was going to see your "wha? woa.." approach to crisis and call ya an A**hole. That and Skynyrd doesn't really rule, Mob does. Well, 4 years after the deed shoulda been dead in their minds, the masses wake up and smell the asbestos you helped Larry dispose of at a fraction of what it would have cost to remove the slow way. In fact, you accidentally made Larry about $800 million. As you look around, you should feel proud, you've made all of your friends filthy Rich and at what price? Just a country stupid enough to believe you in the first place? And a planet too lazy to stop you. No big loss....

I would like to see Tomorrow

Today is taking forever. It really feels like it is never going to end. It just drags on from moment to moment, nothing changing, just existing. I don't think tomorrow is going to make it. It called a while ago and said it was on it's way, but that was a long time ago. It should have been here by now. Well, the sun has set, all the loved ones are sleeping, and you're lying in bed, wishing you were asleep. You cant' sleep though. Not Today. Nothing can break the firm grip Reality has on you. Slow deep breath, you hold it, and exhale. Nothing, No relief from the tightness in your chest. The Doctor called them Panic attacks. Said you were just focusing on your mortality a bit too much of late. Making yourself crazy. He told you to not worry, you were fit as an ox. But you know better. You know, deep down inside what's wrong. It's not Tomorrow that creeps in this petty pace from day to day... There is no day to day. In a few hours the sun will rise and it will still be Today. The same people, saying the same things, doing the same things, thinking the same things, following the routine pattern, maintaining the status quo, barely. Barely alive, barely aware, barely awake. They're all dead inside. Blood flowing from habit and inertia. Limbs echoing movements begun in the past, mouths repeating words that used to mean something long ago. Now the words are hollow, disconnected from their meaning. Like verbal effigies they hang there interpreted at will.
Did time stop? Start skipping? One day repeating, never ending? No. You see it, it's still here, it's still showing all around you. It's cold fire slowly burning, fading, stripping all around you. The world is still turning, spinning off into the future. Now you see it's just the people stuck in place, in this Limbo. The dead are walking around in circles. Zombie victims of a voodoo, self inflicted, self prescribed, for the fear We're all injesting. To the fear we've all subscribed.
Ghosts haunt places, time echoes tragedy. Acceptance, is submission when things are not set Right. Truth is a power which must be brought to light. We can't ignore it, or outlast it. We all feel it, like a junky feels the need when the needles empty. Serve your masters, serve your interests, serve your basest human instincts and tomorrow will never come. Like a haunting you'll continue to float about Today. Or you can seize it, lift yourself up, do what it takes, do the right thing Today. To let the dead rest and the rest live justice must be served. The wrongs must be righted and all must get what they deserve.

AP: And another one bites the dust.

Well, 5 hours ago AP released a story on US detainee abuse. Culled from 278 pages of hard won FOIA documents which lists multiple cases of documented abuse. Of course, the victims were not who you'd expect. They were all guards. AP-parently the oppressed guards are routinely terrorized and tortured by the ungrateful guests at Club Gitmo. Wow, I had no idea that groups of thugs were allowed to roam freely about their picturesque beaches being unruly and rude. One guard lost a tooth. For Shame. No seriously shame, dishonor, ah Hell, I'm gonna go up to "A Pox on thee!" on this one, to AP for printing this Disneyland brochure in an Orwellian World. They must be too busy rewriting old reports to have noticed the score in Gitmo is 68homicides to 1 tooth in favor of guards, whom they are spinning up to be Martyrs. Journalism didn't just hit a new low for Integrity, it proved the new low of intelligence in the field. Any American who has ever been arrested has seen far worse abuse perpetrated by County Correctional Officers on American Citizens than the Ap mentions here. Even Conservative regurgitator Heather Mac Donald paints a worse picture.

Well, no, most of those deaths were in military self-defense or were accidental,
and most occurred at the point of capture — razor close to the heat of battle,
if technically considered “in detention.” I don’t know where Friedman comes up
with his “over 100” number. As of March 16, the Army was reporting 68 detainee
deaths. Of those, 24 were confirmed or suspected criminal homicides, but again,
a full 15 of those homicides occurred at point of capture in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Do 24 criminal homicides out of the over 50,000 detainees taken as
of September 2004 represent a criminal abuse of power? How many enemy soldiers
died at the hands of their captors in previous wars? What proportion of al Qaeda
captives survive detention? Friedman doesn’t bother to ask.

Of course, she seems to believe that just a few feet "razor close" away from a firefight, soldiers are cuffing corpses. That murder is affirmative action "24 criminal homicides". That Al Qaeda was responsible for our Civil War, WWI and WWII etc" previous wars". And that "what Proportion" survival is a bonus. I guess on the flip side, she validates the "what I didn't do" defense strategy. You've heard it before, "Yeah, ?I f***ed her, but I make love to you!!" It's a carte blanche, I ain't John Wayne Gacy, excuse all. I wonder how proud she'd feel if Defense Attorneies around this Country started quoting her theory in their closing statements.
In a bit I'll post the story of my own experience in a County Detention center. See how it compares. If any one ever actually reads this, please feel free to respond with similiar stories, or post them at http://www.blastedreality.net/action.html

Something I was thinking

This is how it starts. The tiny pebble hits the reflective pool . The ripples spread out, gently pushing the surface insects into motion. Those that can spread their webs. To secure themselves they say, but words mean nothing to those caught in the deadly nets. The victims struggle against their bonds, only creating more ripples. Their death throes serving only to feed the endless hunger of their killers. Faint sounds of weeping drift across the water. The lament of a God. Long forgotten, but forever nailed upon his Cross. If you listen very closely, perhaps you'll be cursed like me. I know why Jesus wept, Motherfucker!
If you are wondering what I am rambling on about, here it goes. The first steps to War with Iran have begun. 5 former hostages recognize the new Iranian as one of the hostage takers. I seriously doubt anyone in the MSM will question these memories or the obvious height difference between the guy in the photo and the alleged bad guy. Of course, the Iranians have never tried to hide who did what, but that won't be brought up either. Here's a list of topics I would love to see on this: The 100+ extra days the hostages were kept due to Reagan's secret deal with Iran, George H W Bush's criminal involvement in the Iran Contra Conspiracy, other current members of the Bush administration's involvement, and anything what so ever on the fact that we supplied both sides of the Iran-Iraq War.
Ah well, that is just a wish list... I'd settle for a better plate of bull sh** at this point. The lies have run out of flavor at this point.

The Smoking Media?

Here is a copy of the letter I sent out to news agencies around the country. I wanted to keep a copy around and read it some time when I am not so tiredl. well, here it is


Good sir,
I am an avid information consumer and therefore I am an occasional reader of your newspaper. I was wondering if you could help me out. I am curious as to what makes a story "News Worthy" here in the States? I first learned of the "Downing Street Memo" close to 6 weeks ago, but until recently your publication made no mention of it. I did, however, find articles about every miniscule detail of urban decay and the inherent evils of thinking to excess. The latter I agree with completely, for you see it is my thinking problem alone that has me writing this letter to you this morning. I'll admit it.. I have been thinking all night. In fact, I have been binge thinking for weeks now. I know what that makes me... I know I am a wing nut. Yes a thinking stincking wing nut!! How did I let it come to this. Thank you for pointing it out to me. Would it be too much for me to ask that you act as my sponsor? I have found it helps to be around strong people such as yourself . People who somehow found the coutrage to quit thinking cold turkey. One day at a time sweet Jesus. Well, I better go try and sleep this off. I only pray that I won't be cursed with fresh thought in the morning. Oh yeah, I know this is probably just the thought talking here, but: Would it be possible for you to forward this message to others in your organization? I am extremely interested in the criteria used to assign newsworthiness to certain stories and not to others. For now I'll just assume assume that the lack of coverage was due to unavailability of Internet access at your office and not due to the rumored "death of fourth estate" which I seem to read about more and more each day.
And if it's not too much, perhaps when the next "proof positive evidence of Executive Branch Treason" surfaces, email me and I will personally buy the addspace necessary to at least point the public in the direction of a Portal website to actual media. If there is no space for my add, please introduce the hair removal and hair regrowth people to eachother and I will take that spot.

Reverend X

PS My indignation is directed at whichever fount of Criminal Culpability is in charge of Propaganda and Censure.

An apology from the "Outlaw Fringe"

First off, please read these two pages. This won't make any sense if you don't.

I would first like to apologize for not fitting directly into either of your groups. Being within 10 years of both I would also like to apologize for most of the topics covered by Sam Smith and Jason Browne. And I would like to share in a bit of the Post-Confessional Catharsis. The category for this is the Punk/Thug Criminal Fringe of America... I categorize it as such: All those who chose the Rulin' in Hell rather than Servin' in Heaven line at the Capitalist Brunch. On September 11th, regardless of age, we went shopping near appliance stores with our "no look/no pay" cards. Very few of us would be willing to come forward and apologize due to possible legal action, but civil suits are of no concern. I will hold your agreements as binding as I hold this.

I apologize for treating times of civil unrest as personal 24 hour closeout sales. As I have said in the past, "When they riot on TV, it just means it's time to get a new TV!" I deeply regret not seeing past the TV.

I deeply regret shoplifting so much at Family Run, Independent and Co-op grocery and retail stores.

I apologize for not shoplifting at Wal-Mart enough. If they had carried any good music at all it might off made it more of a Target.

I apologize for changing "Most stolen Model" from a consumer advisory into a Car Dealer Sales Pitch.

I apologize for our degeneration of the English language as well. Using sign language for no reason, making up code words at will which eventually became Hip Slang as in, Rocket Fuel, Greenery, Pizza Toppings, etc. Also for the Tags no one can read that appear on cars, houses and public buildings. I feel the worst about turning "187 - 420" and the rest of the California Penal Code into household words.

I wish I could take back all the drunken nights I spent telling fabricated stories of eluding police by simply accelerating away from them, to the most gullible idiots around. We knew what we were doing. Eventually the stupidest of the listeners would run a foul of the Police and decide to attempt escape down the wrong way of a highway with only:
1-2 inflated tires,
10-12 Cars in pursuit.
2-3 helicopter news teams locked on.
4-5 outstanding warrants.
2-3 coated crack pipes
1 hooker who'd been awake for 6 days.
and absolutely no idea how to get to Mexico with a gas tank on E.

I regret sending those guys to the Grocery store across town at 3am in a car with out registration, insurance, brake lights, or tags on the plates. Also for not telling them to get gas before picking any strung out hookers up.

I am sorry for not preparing better scenarios for the show "Cops" all those times they were in my home town, Albuquerque.

I am sorry for never taking out a student loan using Dubya's identity.

I regret never putting my cell phone in Dick Cheney's name.

I wish I had collected Condoleesa and not Jerry 'Rice Visa cards.

I deeply regret all the drive by's and shootings that traumatized whole cities and communities so much so that they allowed their police to para militarize.

I regret looting during demonstrations. I know it gave DA's the ammo they needed to suppress assembly and treat protesters like violent criminals.

I apologize for organizing urban youth into street gangs and not social activists.
For getting them interested in Criminal not Constitutional Law.
For romantisizing "Thug Life" and the coolness of penitentiary living to the point that incarceration was more of a ladder to success then education and as inevitable as the rising sun.

I too apologize sincerely for MTV. For listening more to NWA then Ice-T or Public Enemy.
For blasting Rage Against the Machine out my speakers all night without hearing a word de la Roca said.
Lookin back, those Jello Biafra rants are haunting me with how accurate his predictions turned out.
I guess we're here with rest of ya!
So.. we'll stop the drama/spare the trauma/ drop Osama cuz we know the bomber
was from DC/ Texas maybe/ tracked the Money/ it was easy
ripped the background/audio sound/ matched what I found / bringin it round'
with help from freakers/ a few tweakers/ story leakers/'ll hit your speakers!
aight.?

And I apologize for aight... aight?

Pray, Pray, Prey, Chain of Fools....

I just recieved a chain e-mail... A Christian chain e-mail... a well travelled Christian chain e-mail... It was a guilt assuagin', sublimatin', righteousness ratin', great way to judge the quick and the dead! I love it!! Lemme explain. Basically, it had a few pictures of starving children, some ugly lanscapes and a guy with his head up a cows ass. I assume these were meant to be examples of the desperation and lack of food, but they simply reminded me of two basic facts about humanity:
1) We suck! You know the photogragher had his lunch with him! Put down the flash and give the kid a sandwich.
2) We are sick. If your face is up a cow's ass, I am not going to assume you are there for the nutrition, so why did the author, publisher, and the photogragher draw that conclusion?
These pictures were Pharissidicaly (I couldn't think of a word for "obsequiously promoting and advertising one's one self righteousness in a manner reminiscent of those assholes Jesus seemed to have so many problems with", other than "Christian".) encircled by the email addresses of all those who chose to forward this email. Oh yeah, and some instructions: Pray that this suffering will end. Pray that God shows his light upon these poor people." So on and so forth blah blah blah. So, have you figured out the beauty of this email or are you still wondering why they put a picture of a guy with his head up a cow's ass on there? I was stuck on the latter mystery myself until I had an epiphany. Here goes- I've been reading a growing number of articles lately about the Theory of Evolution's closest competition, "Intelligent Design" or "Creationism" to us old school types. Apparently it has become "Fascist chic" to unearth Dark Age Text Books and pit them against modern theories with nothing more than an "It must be true if we're still talking bout it!" argument to back them up. I'll spare you the full on "WTF?" and just agree with the crazy guys, it's easier. OK, you may be right... Just maybe, the whole Universe was created by some absolute being. Maybe there is a scheme to things, a divine plan. I can accept the possibility, but why does it have to be yours? Fine, i'll give you the Intelligent Design, but I refuse to snowball that into a full Personality. It's a Leap of Faith to believe in a higher power, a Leap of Ego to believe you know it best.
Meanwhile, back at the Ranch... er chain letter: The beauty of this remarkably pharissidic peice of crap was it's inherent paradox. The basis of "creationism" is this ; God made it this way by his own grand design. Being infallible, the world is exactly the way he wants it. Why then would it be acceptable to pray to him and inform him that you would like him to make changes to his masterpiece. Any attempt at revision would be going directly against the Will of God! This emial is heresy!
