Democracy-Kaze



LDP (Jimin To) politicians, the finest representants of Japan's crassest of the dumbest, have lost their grip on the nation's throat today. Japan's opposition parties won majority in upper house. The first time that a party other than the LDP has seized the most seats in the chamber since the LDP was established in 1955. This could be the start of a process of genuine foreign policy, not a corrupted & stinking plutocracy bent of playing the games of Washingtonian politics, against Japan own interests. Japanese people have spoken over the overwhelming corruption & incompetence of the party who have never been able to say no to Washington. This election went beyond the mere political context of right & left politics.The LDP (Jimin To) while being the party associated with right wing politics, ideologies & nationalistic endeavor, was the very party who sold Japan to foreign interests & influences, it became known as the party of corruption,scandals, dirty deals & rotting leadership, emasculated courtiers of Washington powers.

Tales from the white house corpse

The day where you don't have to feel ashamed for being a scatologist



The desperate Bush administration is turning cannibalistic, and yesterday give us an opportunity to watch the White House jester doing his Hannibal part, and eat one of his own in plain sight. Tony Snow, the snotty-nosed prick who also serves as the propagandist for the omnificent wisdom and intelligence of Georges W Bush, took on World Net Daily's agitprop Les Kinsolving, the gaseous neoconservatism radio host who made a career as a bitter & hateful intolerant circus freak. Apparently, two faced liar forked tongue Tony wasn't too happy with one of Kinsolving's raucous & mediocre muckraking, and he expressed his feeling, even going as far as suggesting Kinsolving what to write. When the twister tells the twisted...Tony Snow the spigot for the criminal administration of King George, is suffering from metastatic cancer, but not even cancer can stop this remorseless echo chamber from bravely spreading baseless lies and distortions, on daily base to the American public. Way to go Tony, you may have few months to live, yet you chose to stay & spend it lying to the American people in order to defend the most corrupt and incompetent administration in this nation's history. I guess, cancer is the natural step from moral leprosy.

Continual exercise of antagonistic feeling

A response to a Conservative-Libertarian poster

Libertarianism is the beautiful word for anarchism. Ref, Mikhail Bakunin, Kropotkin, P. J. Proudhon etc..., 19th century socio political movement, born in Russia & France aimed towards the destruction of the repressive State (they never meant bureaucratic......), because bureaucracy is indeed a part of the problem, but not the source. American Conservative-libertarianism is focuses on the "taxes thing", while giving a free pass to Corporation welfare, invoking the evil of bureaucracy & representative government but goes hand by hand with Reich Wing Republicanism without a tear. you simply cannot called yourself a Libertarian & vote for the Republican Party, Republicans represent everything a real Libertarian should despise. The reductio ad absurdum of civil liberty & constitutional laws. The 21th century Republicanism a la "sauce Bush" is nothing but a right wing concoction of Stalinism, but no surprise.....most of the theoreticians, ideologues & theologians of that putrid moronic system of belief, are former Trotskyists.....

Again no surprise that Ayn Rand & Leo Strauss, 2 of the most puerile "political thinkers" of the 20th century have sought refuge in the US, and gained an amazing "intellectual status" within neo-Paleo conservative circles, and providing a new "raison d'etre" for all the neo Trotskyist orphans, in the land where the Braves don't think until they are on the verge of losing their god given freedom. The "fuck you first, because that's about me...." Objectivism of luminary Ayn Rand, & the "keep in mind, that there's a sucker born every minute" Leo Strauss neo Machavellian Nocturnal pollution. the coronation & canonization of unscrupulous cunning dishonesty as intellectual property. Always an eye candy to watch footage of that old arrogant inhibited carpet munching post-menopausal fruitcake, telling to the rubes how right it is, for people to piss on other's shoes because they can...and while doing so you may feel a bit "elitist". Never less i can still remember the Chair of the political sciences Dept, telling us with a smile, that Strauss & Rand legacies of "you may lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, distort, repress, deceive & intellectually enslave people for the higher purpose of political achievement", into a sanitized pseudo-intellectual tool for leadership, are in fact major socio-pathological achievements in Academia. because it represents the concretization of the institution of political leadership thinking as we know.

C-span After Words

Legacy of Ashes.
The History of the CIA
by Tim Weiner. Random House.



For the last sixty years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, “a legacy of ashes.”

Randomhouse

C-span After Words: author Tim Weiner interviewed by David Ignatius



Tim Weiner provides us with an interesting set of informations, the book is fairly readable, but not for what it does tell but for what it doesn't......and all its pretentious interpretations. Tim Weiner is the ultimate "insider" or gatekeeper, a man who could seat for hours, drink beers & chat with former CIA Director. How credible, how objective ?. Regarding the so called "CIA crown jewels", Tim Weiner believes that, the so called crimes of the CIA were in fact the fault of the President, who was the one calling the shots, ordering the agency to conduct itself like the brainchild of the defunct Gestapo. Not bad Tim. Later on he completely contradicts himself by saying," the only crimes of the CIA was to keep the President uninformed...". So according to his twisted logic, the CIA is only responsible for being the toy of a nefarious president, who in fact turns out to be himself the victim of the CIA secrecy ,in regard to covert operations....the president being the one calling the shot, while the CIA leadership considers him an instrument of their own...

Difficult to find someone even barely intellectually dishonest as Tim Weiner. But thanks to Weiner & his astonishing mass exercise of stonewalling & white washing for the CIA, it feels good to see that concocting a fraud is still a great journalistic tradition,

While escaping any accountability for his flawed work, Weiner's book is amazingly intellectually unchallenging.

A forensic approach to the Pentagon attack

The underbelly of flight American 77

Pilots for 9/11 Truth
(from their web site).
Pilots for 9/11 Truth is an organization of aviation professionals and pilots throughout the globe that have gathered together for one purpose. We are commited to seeking the truth surrounding the events of the 11th of September 2001. Our main focus concentrates on the four flights, maneuvers performed and the reported pilots. We do not offer theory or point blame. However, we are focused on determining the truth of that fateful day since the United States Government doesn't seem to be very forthcoming with answers. We stand with the Scholars, Veterans and Architects & Engineers for Truth along side family members of the victims family members of soldiers who have given the ultimate sacrifice including the many Ground Zero workers who are now ill or have passed away, when we ask for a new independent investigation into the events of 9/11. We do not accept the 9/11 Commission report as a satisfactory explanation for the sacrifice every American has made and continues to make some more than others. Home

Pilots for 911truth.org presents its first full documentary based on the American 77 Flight Data Recorder as provided by the NTSB following the full flight in real time as it happens in the air traffic system on Sept. 11, 2001. Trailer

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission) was chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks. The Commission was also mandated to provide recommendations designed to guard against future attacks. On July 22, 2004 the Commission released its public report. However the analysis, report & conclusion of the commission regarding " Flight American 77" which is supposed to be based upon the NTSB flight data recorder (black box) & FBI investigation, differs contradicts & does not support the official story & the commission conclusion.

Informations obtained through the Freedom of information act.


I strongly recommend the viewing of the movie made by Pilots for 9/11 Truth,it
represents a remarkable piece of investigative reporting made by aviation professionals, and based on the NTSB flight data recorder (black box).
A very disturbing element of technical intrigue within the context of the Pentagon attack.

Subversive truth ?, judge for yourself, inform yourself and think for yourself.

Reporter.

A report indicates that the US military is stretched in Iraq....and that there is a safe haven in the Pakistani tribal area for Al Qaida top leadership....is that why the US is not going after those Al Qaida elements in Pakistan, or by deference to President Musharraf ?.

Tony blow.

you talk about the US going blindly into a foreign nation.....

Reporter.

Well we went into a sovereign nation in 2003.

Tony blow.

He (the president) went into a sovereign nation, Iraq, with the support of 17 UN resolutions. More bla bla bla....from the Blow Man.

The US also went into a sovereign nation without the explicit approval of the UN security council, which denied the US the authorisation of the use of force against Iraq, but that was then and this is now. Amusing indeed, the US considers Al Qaida the biggest threat not only to its national security, but to western civilization itself, and for some ambiguous or obscure reasons of its own, persists on respecting Osama Bin Laden refugee status within the tribal area of Pakistan.

If ignorance & arrogance are blessed, then there is a place in heaven for the bush administration.

Looking at the 9/11 conspiracies with a rational twist

Is it possible to rationally engage & debate the 9/11 conspiracy theories, does critical thinking automatically lands you in the hands & basket of the "loonies". I believe official documentation is a pretty good starter in itself.


Coleen Rowley's Memo to FBI Director Robert Mueller


When Coleen Rowley was an FBI agent in Minneapolis, her office got a lead just three weeks before 9-11: A known Islamic extremist named Zacarias Moussaoui had paid $8000 in cash for lessons to fly a Boeing 747. Rowley's team arrested him and wanted a warrant to search his laptop computer but Rowley's superiors at FBI headquarters said "no." After 9/11, when it became clear that more could have been done, Rowley wrote FBI Director Robert Mueller a letter pointing out that "no one will ever know" the impact the computer search would have had calling his defense of the agency a "rush to judgment to protect the FBI at all costs." She testified in a Senate hearing a few weeks later. She was chosen by TIME magazine as one of their Persons of the Year in 2002.


Sibel Edmonds

Sibel Edmonds, a 32-year-old Turkish-American, was hired as a translator by the FBI shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 because of her knowledge of Middle Eastern languages. She was fired less than a year later in March 2002 for reporting shoddy work and security breaches to her supervisors that could have prevented those attacks.
She is under "the "state secrets privilege" gag order from the Attorney General & justice Dept since then...



9/11 Press for truth

Michael Collins Independent NewsWashington, DC.

In the film’s first five minutes, we hear FBI Director Robert Mueller tell us that the agency simply had no idea that terrorists would ever use planes to attack the United States. Apparently, he also had no idea that one of his top agents sent reports of suspicious Middle Eastern men in commercial flight schools well before 9/11. He had no idea that a 1996 plot was foiled involving the use of planes as weapons against the United States. He also forgot that at the G8 conference of world leaders in Italy just before 9/11, defenses were set up to meet the threat of airplanes used as weapons. This sequencing in the film typifies the skillful presentation of information and themes throughout the movie. This film is a powerful, moving and intelligent exposition of the impact of 911 in the words of survivors and through the carefully collated, analyzed, and connected stories appearing in the press here and overseas. Much of the content is based on author Paul Thompson’s The Complete 9/11 Timeline.
The press for truth begins after a brief and respectful sequence showing New Yorkers reacting to the attacks, the collapse of the North Tower, and memorial ceremonies. At that point we meet the Jersey Girls. Patty Casazza, Mindy Kleinberg, Lorie Van Auken, and Kristen Breitweiser all lost their husbands on September 1, 2001. They came together initially for mutual support. Quickly, they formed the core of a larger group of 911 survivors demanding an investigation. Casazza describes the frustration when she realized that there would be no formal investigation. “That’s when I went into angry,” she says. Their demands for a thorough investigation, the many unanswered questions, and the resistance of the information gatekeepers form the narrative that carries the film forward. The twists and turns offer a fascinating and compelling collection of major stories (or dots) that have never been connected.

The first question is why it took two hours before any air defense was mounted on 9/11? The failed response that day is shown. We then we see a 1999 newscast describing the rapid response by six Air Force Jets to a suspicious private plane over Florida. This type of response is standard operating procedure. The point is obvious; the question devastating. How can a mystery jet over Florida get a quicker response than an attack on the United States?
The next question is introduced by the widow of a New York fireman who died on 9/11. She asks how a skyscraper could collapse due to fire when fire has never been the sole cause of a sky scraper collapse. Seeing and hearing this widow express such an obvious question in plaintive terms has a power that creates both sympathy and outrage. The film continues with the formation of the 9/11 Commission. The Jersey Girls are immediately incensed when the ultimate gatekeeper, Henry Kissinger, is appointed to head the commission. When they meet with him, a Jersey Girl asks if Kissinger’s consulting firm has any Saudi Arabian clients named bin Laden. This question had the intended effect. Kissinger announced he could not take the position.
During commission hearings, we see the vivid reactions of 9/11 family members as Condoleezza Rice down plays the August 2001 President’s Daily Briefing: Bin Laden determined to strike in US. Then we see their relief and open armed reception of Richard Clarke. Clarke was in charge of the White House response group on 9/11. He tells the commission and families that both he and the government failed that day and then offers the first apology for that failure. The contrast presented between Clarke’s humility and dignity and Rice’s insouciance approaches the poetic.
The 9/11 Commission’s behavior helps expand the notion of gatekeepers. They are officials and major agencies and institutions who dole out information on as limited a basis as possible. This term was not used explicitly but it serves to describe well a key point made in the film. Major players in our society, those in and near government and the press, serve the function of regulating the flow of information for their benefit and the advantage of their patrons. They have a difficult task however. Author, activist, and former CIA official Ray McGovern appears briefly to make a key point. In any intelligence investigation, McGovern tells us, 80% of the information is freely available and in the public domain. The process of connecting the information and making it meaningful is the task that often goes undone. That challenging task has been undertaken by the 9/11 survivors and motivated citizen-researchers. The questions continue. They are presented through a combination of survivor statements, news clips, comments from reporters like Dan Rather, and press from around the world. This results in highly provocative and revealing questions on the story of our time. While there are no clear answers, there are clear paths to knowledge. What relationship did the 9/11 attacks have with the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan? While this seemed like an interruption in the flow of the film, it quickly turned into a gold mine of dots that began to form a pattern. Why did the chief of Pakistan’s intelligence service, in Washington, DC on 9/11, wire $100,000 to terrorist figure connected to the 9/11 plotters? Why are Pakistani and al Qaeda training camps almost indistinguishable? Why was bin Laden essentially allowed to walk away form Tora Bora, Afghanistan when he was about to be captured? Why were thousands of Taliban members airlifted to Pakistan after their defeat? Why did a key CIA commander in Afghanistan resign two years before his official retirement in order to tell his story about the failure to capture bin Laden?
The film concludes with an edited sequence counter posing an ABC television producer talking about the restrictions on investigative film making with Leonard Downie, Executive Editor of the Washington Post. We’re told by the ABC producer that good stories are often either discouraged or spiked (not shown). We then hear Downie make the remarkable argument that the job of the working press is to present discrete stories. He tells us that the act of connecting those stories is really an “editorial” function and the responsibility of the public. As Executive Editor of the Washington Post, wouldn’t that be his responsibility? This was a truly eye opening moment. In this case, the public is gathering information, connecting the dots, and speaking up. The 9/11 survivors and their supporters continue to speak forcefully. More and more citizens are asking questions about the seeming gaps and contradictions in The 9/11 Commission Report. They openly question the obvious lock down of White House and other government information sources. They won’t go away.

The film was directed by Ray Nowosielski and written by John Duffy and Kyle Hence. Paul Thompson's book formed the basis for much of the narrative and Larisa Alexandrovna of Raw Story was a key consultant. They offer us a remarkable artistic statement that transcends ideology and operates at the highest level of intellectual honesty, humanity, and patriotis

The Bush dead enders

The grand chessboard of the Pax Americana & Liberation through extermination




Why is it so difficult for the liberals & anti war muckrakers to understand the importance of the war on terror, and the Judeo Christian crusade against the dark armies of IslamoFascists ?. You have to fight them in Basra so you won't have to fight them in South Carolina (since the camel jockeys learn to swim and can now reach American shores, and because the Federal government is unwilling to finance the Ku Klux Klan, Neo Nazi skinheads & other patriotic Americans to guard & assume control of the border with Mexico...there is a potential AlQaeda operative in every Mexican illegal, and they share the same dark complexion after all). Dear war mongers quite an achievement indeed, without dropping an once of your own blood, no sweat no tears......and an everlasting gratitude from the body bag industry. Thanks to the American experiment, Iraq is turning into a Middle Eastern Alice in wonderland, where the freedom to die around the corner, is not a choice but an option, every time you find yourself out of toilet paper, and had to walk to the nearest market store.

Thank you for cheer leading a military aggression upon a sovereign nation, instrumental for Burying the thousands of Saddam Hussein's victims, under piles of hundreds of thousands of fresh new corpses, courtesy of American contribution to Middle East democratic process (that old universal adage, "in order to democratize them, we have to butcher them first... liberation through extermination).

Channeling Nostradamus

or the Christopher Hitchens school of journalism

Whatever the issue, French national elections, weapons of mass destructions, Al Qaida-Saddam Hussein association, the strategy to win the war
on Islamo-fascist-terror (and much else.....), the future of a democratic secular Iraqi government, the price of Eva Longeria's sex tapes in Baghdad black market, Reading Hitchens, gives you the feeling of what is like calling a 30$ an hour "online psychic",who tells you that:
1) you are on your way to win the next tournament of American idol.
2) your son is about to marry Paris Hilton, and
3) your recently deceased unemployed husband, was in fact working secretly for the CIA.
All of that while you are sitting in a funky trailer down in an area of Louisiana known as American Bangladesh.....

People always asked me why am i so sarcastic and cynically dismissive of Hitchens writings, well if you are able of taking him seriously, you have certainly achieved a major victory of leading the forces of goofiness over those of critical & rational thinking, therefore there isn't much i can do for you.

But without the Baghdad Bob of Washington Dc....life would be less amusing.

The Misunderestimated Mr. Cheney:

The Vice President's Record of Willfully Violating the Law, And Wrongly Claiming Authority to Do So.
By John W. Dean
Vice President Dick Cheney has regularly claimed that he is above the law, but until recently he has not offered any explanation of why.
In fact, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a law that Cheney believes does apply to him, whether that law be major or minor. For example, he has claimed that most of the laws passed in the aftermath of Watergate were unconstitutional, and thus implicitly inapplicable. His office oversees signing statements claiming countless new laws will not be honored except insofar as the President's extremely narrow interpretation allows. He does not believe the War Powers Act should be honored by the President. Nor, in his view, should the President be bothered with laws like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). In fact, it appears Cheney has actively encouraged defiance of such laws by the Bush Administration.
For Cheney, the Geneva Conventions - considered among the nation's most important treaties -- are but quaint relics that can be ignored. Thus, he publicly embraced their violation when, on an Idaho talk radio program, he said he was not troubled in the slightest by our forces using "waterboarding" -- the simulated drowning of detainees to force them to talk. There are serious questions as to whether Cheney himself has also conspired to violate the War Crimes Act, which can be a capital crime.
A man who can so easily disregard the War Powers Act, FISA, the Geneva Conventions, and the War Crimes Act is merely flicking fleas when it comes to complying with laws like the Presidential Records Act, which requires him to keep records. Yet as CNN and other news organizations have reported, Cheney ordered the destruction of the visitor logs to his residence. These, of course, are presidential records the law requires him to preserve and protect. (Indeed, neighbors of the Vice President were surprised when, in the past, a truck for a document shredding service would regularly visit the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory.)
Most recently, the Vice President has refused to comply with Executive Order 12958, as amended by his boss, George W. Bush. These orders were issued to implement the law adopted by Congress in 1995 to clarify the classification and protection of national security information.
Most interesting in Cheney's defiance is his absolutely absurd explanation of why the law is not applicable to him or his staff. Cheney's Explanation(s) For Defying the National Security Classification Orders
Henry Waxman, who may be the nation's most diligent and vigilant member of Congress, recently reported that Vice President Cheney claims he is exempt from the presidential orders requiring government-wide procedures to safeguard classified national security information because he is not an "entity within the executive branch." According to information provided to Chairman Waxman's Oversight committee, Cheney further claimed he was not an "agency" as set forth in the Executive Orders.
When Cheney was widely ridiculed by humorists, cartoonists, pundits, commentators and several members of Congress for his claim of not being an "entity within the executive branch," the Vice President's chief of staff and counsel David Addington responded by asserting that the Vice President is not subject to the order because he is not an "agency" as defined by the order. (Addington thus effectively dropped the claim that the Vice President is not an "entity.") However, Addington does not cite any authority or language for his new claim that the Vice President is not an "agency." In fact, there is none. To the contrary, the order controlling national security classification states exactly the opposite of what Addington claims. Executive Order 12958 states that the term "Agency" means any "Executive agency," as defined in the statutory language found at 5 U.S.C. 105, and it includes "any other entity within the executive branch that comes into the possession of classified information." An entity is any "body" or "unit" or "thing" within the executive branch, and to claim the Vice President's office is none of these is an insult to common sense. So is Addington's claim that the Office of Vice President is not an agency under the law. Section 105 of Title 5 of the United States Code states that an "'Executive agency' means an … independent establishment" within the executive branch. Independent establishments are defined by Section 104 as "an establishment in the executive branch … which is not an Executive department [which are listed in Section 101, and include the Departments of State, Treasury, Justice, etc.], military department, Government corporation, or part thereof, or part of an independent establishment." The Justice Department issued an opinion in 1994 that the Vice President was not an "agency" under the Freedom of Information Act. That opinion was largely based on the Supreme Court ruling, in Kissinger v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, that "agency" does not cover "the President's immediate personal staff or units in the Executive Office whose sole function is to advise and assist the President."
However, the agency definition in E.O. 12985 is very different from that in the Freedom of Information Act. If, as Addington claims, E.O. 12985 was intended to exempt the Vice President's office, why did it not so state? Or, why did Bush not exempt the Vice President when he amended that order in July 2005? Cheney's claim his office is neither an entity nor agency defies logic, but it is not surprising since he continues also to claim, with absolutely no evidence to support his claim, that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 and that terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi set up an al Qaeda operation in Iraq. Needless to say, Cheney's claim - or Addington's claim, since Cheney appears to be backing away from his chief of staff and counsel on this issue - raises the question of what the vice president is. Legally, the vice president has only the most limited of powers and authority, unless the president empowers him.
The Limited Role the Constitution and a Federal Statute Envision for the Vice President
The Vice President's very limited but vital roles are set forth in the Constitution. He is the next in succession to become President, should there be a vacancy or should the president suffer from mental or physical inability to serve. And he is the president of the Senate, which means he can preside over the Senate but under the Senate Rules, he cannot take part in debate, and under the Constitution, he can only vote to break a tie.In the event of a vacancy in the office of the president, under Article II and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, the Vice President becomes the Acting President. Also under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, the Vice President, when acting with a majority of the Cabinet, can also declare the president is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." If he so declares, then after so informing Congress, the Vice President becomes Acting President until the President notifies Congress that he is fine; if there is a dispute, the Congress resolves it. The only other Constitutional duty of the Vice President is that set forth in Article I, Section 3, clause 4, which makes the Vice President the "President of the Senate, but [he/she] shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided." Not since the nation's second Vice President, Thomas Jefferson, decided it was a waste of time to preside over the Senate has any Vice President done so -- other than to break ties or for ceremonial events, such as the State of the Union or the tallying of electoral college votes. Since 1947, the Vice President has been given a number of statutory duties, when President Truman recommended, and the Congress agreed, that the Vice President should be a member of the National Security Council. This, however, is the most significant of his statutory assignments. Thus, beyond the limited constitutional responsibilities, and the few statutory tasks, the Vice President's role comes down to whatever the President assigns him. Vice Presidents can have no role greater than the assignments given by the president -- or in the case of Dick Cheney, whatever he has been able to convince the President he can appropriately handle for him.
The Source of Cheney's Power: Influence, Not a Formal Grant of Authority
Washington insiders have long understood that Cheney's power stems from his knowledge of the way the White House and the Office of the President operate. This is knowledge he acquired as President Ford's Chief of Staff. With Bush's consent, much of the paper flow of the White House which heads up the chain of command toward the President goes through Cheney's office. In addition, Cheney's staff reaches down into the executive bureaucracy to shape the debate before it reaches the White House.
Those with whom I have spoken have serious doubt that Bush and the White House staff really knows what Cheney is doing, why he is doing it, or how he is doing it. From the outset of this administration, Cheney has been instrumental in placing people loyal to him throughout the Executive Branch. This is not to say that Bush is not "the decider," for he is, but by shaping the debate and controlling the paper flow, Cheney decides what the decider will decide.
It has long been apparent that Cheney's genius is that he lets George W. Bush get out of bed every morning actually believing he is the President. In fact, his presidency is run by the President of the Senate, for Cheney is its true center of gravity. That fact has become more apparent with every passing year of this presidency, and anyone who thinks otherwise has truly "misunderestimated" our nominal president and his vice president.

Learning From History

how to avoid going to war on false premises

"in the Church-services held on the occasion of the departure of troops for South Africa, certain hymns are used in a manner which substitutes for the spiritual enemy the human enemy. Thus for a generation past, under cover of the forms of a religion which preaches peace, love, and forgiveness; there has been a perpetual shouting of the words: 'blood' and 'war', 'fire' and 'battle', and a continual exercise of the antagonistic feelings".

The case against Hitchens







Religion sucks, paycheck from
religious don't.


"Orgy of mawkishness,sloppiness & false sentiment".
Hitchens Slate Magazine Tuesday, April 24, 2007.

I have no need for your book to make up my mind on religious matters, but i actually agree with you on most of your points Hitch, but i also believe you are the last person on this planet to be allowed to denounce it, and in the mean time makes a mountain of dollars out of it). If a large segment of the American population is guilty by association in this "orgy of mawkishness, sloppiness, and false sentiment", what about yourself ?, Christopher Hitchens Speaks to Witherspoon Fellows:(link) I sold my soul to god for an afternoon Guilty by association too?!. But for an unapologetic sinner like yourself, There's nothing you won't do or say for an audience, and accusing you of being a "mercenaire" is a non sequitur.....and exitus acta probat anyway!. For someone labelled as the hammer of secularism and who once 'woke up every morning angry that religion still exists, taking money from former Gary Bauer's Family Research Council, and now making even more money by petty attacks on religion through books & articles, is a remarkable intellectual "tour de force". But even a Non-theist like myself knows that "god works in mysterious way", and if "all roads lead to the Vatican", dollar bills could somehow become vehicles (in god we trust..).

In a very near future, i guess we may expect something like: Prolific author of "war pimping for dummies" and "god is not great: how religion poisons everything" Christopher Hitchens,is now working on "metaphorical & spiritual salvation recycling for dummies from an atheist perspective", a grandstanding trivial pompous manifesto on the Core Principles of intellectually disingenuous & outright dishonest.

What's next for you, Christopher the Atheist, an Armageddon cruise to the holy Land with Pat Robertson & Jerry Falwell...

(Baghdad Bob has never been so close to Washington...)

J'accuse.....contre le mensonge,l'hypocrisie academique Americaine et la leprosie Dershowitz.



Ou l'execution de Norman Finkelstein par un certain lobby inquisiteur Zionist.

Le silence des institutions Academiques Americaines et Europeennes, sur la prise de position de DePaul University a l'encontre de Norman Finkelstein, est un scandale, mais elle n'est malheureusement pas une surprise, beaucoup s'y attendait. Les academiciens aujourd'hui sont les laquets et valets du pouvoir et des medias, et les chiourmes des secrets et manipulations socio-politiques. Norman Finkelstein a mene un combat academique depuis des decennies, pour le respect de la verite historique et academique, et il est traite comme un lepreux. Il merite mieux....il n'est jamais l'invite des medias, alors que le bouffon, falsificateur et menteur en chef Alan Dershowitz, repands son venin et sa bile sur les plateaux de TV regulierement. Les Americains ont un gout prononce pour le mensonge (a en constater par le choix de chef d'etat),et le theatre de mauvaise qualite, et souffrent d'une profonde ignorance, mais qu'importe pour l'histoire, meme si elle neccessite et prends parfois son temps, la verite se fait toujours connaitre.

Norman tu es un modele pour beaucoup aujourd'hui, et tu le seras pour encore beaucoup plus d'autres.....

Maybe about time to raise the black flag, and start cutting some throats...

Rape of American Judicial system and related jail stories (and why do men like Scooter Libby never get a taste of their own medecine).

Don't ever use the word pussy to designate a weak man anymore. Because at least "pussies" have the "balls" to do time (Susan McDougal, Martha Stewart, Paris Hilton), while bureaucratic twerp like Scooter Libby bathes in the moisture of his fear-soaked underwear, waiting to get a free pass from the highest twerp on record, the presidential one.....

Paris Hilton was sent to prison for traffic violation & driving license related offence, While there are individuals in Washington DC who deserve jail time if not execution squad, but benefit from "grandiose protection", the protection from above. Somehow the justice system is expressing his wrath on a young eccentric socialite female who never hurt anyone. Meanwhile Ken Lay is enjoying life in Costa Rica, under a new face & identity, Tom Delay doesn't have a criminal record, and became the Fox News newest babbling Vagina , but.... Martha Stewart actually went to prison for months,

Too bad for him, in prison someone with a name like "scooter" is bound to high popularity. As a compassionate conservative, Scooter just missed a multicultural integration experience.

Independence day

July 4 1776.

Maybe British Monarchy wasn't such bad thing after all.

"we study the glory of god, and the honour and liberty of parliament for which we unanimously fight, without seeking our own interests...i profess i could never satisfy myself on the justness of this war, but from the authority of the parliament to maintain itself in its rights; and in this cause i hope to prove myself an honest man and single-hearted.”

This is not a George Bush statement, but Oliver Cromwell.
Sinister similarity......

No Prison rape for Scooter, or how Annie the menace of the Bush administration is on his way for a Presidential medal of silence.

Cats hate mice but individual like George Bush loves rat, especially the little pustular bureaucratic rodent type like Scooter Libby. I don't get it, everybody was acting so surprised when Bush commuted his little latrine leech's sentence. Come on people, you had to see it coming....being unable to smell the coffee from Kennebunkport is one fact, but the overwhelming scent of excrement courtesy of the Bush administration is somehow different, the amount of fecal matters that these people have been producing & amassing for the last 7 years is abysmal, scatology on a a Gargantuan scale, an orgy of Merde......a phenomenal appetite for gastro-intestinal infection.
Of course Bush was going to take care of scooter, who do you think Scooter was working for?. Why do you think Scooter went after Valerie Plame in the first place. Because far from being satisfied with extra marital relations with Judith Miller & Bob Novak, Scoober was on his way to fuck Valerie Plame "pour la patrie", some forced penetration for the good of the Nation. Because it's all about sex in Washington DC, and since Lynne has an aversion for dick (the male organ), and because Dick (the Vice Prez) cannot screw anything above 12 yrs of age, little Scooter was the one who made this dysfunctional family, looks kind of normal....

And trust me, Cheney's daughter became a lesbian by choice or rather by resignation....Way to ugly to induce an erection. The funny thing is, this is one lesbian i am never going to fantasm about....

Of Scumbag,bloody sleazeball and the synchronicity of mass slaughter

Joe Lieberman that sleazy Zionist scumbag got on "ABC this week" with boy George Stephanopoulos today, and stated that "the time is not running out politically in Iraq". Well tell that to the 1500-2000 Iraqis who died on a monthly base, Joe. But i guess Joe has a point on his own, an extermination of Iraqis at the hand of the freedom loving Americans or at the hand of Islamofascists means a lesser threat to the apartheid state of Israel. and according to Joe, Iran is on the move, plus for Joe's bloody soaked mind, today's Middle East geopolitical situation resemblance with 1945 Nazi Germany is not coincidental. It's the Fascist-Nazi syndrome stupid.....all over again, this time with a twist of Persian flavor.

Lieberman reference to Nazi Germany is both sinister & almost comical to a certain point, because he is certainly the type of "Jews" who would have probably been very cozy with the Nazi regime, to the point of fighting under German uniform & sous l'etendart de la swastika, or at least collaborating with that little Austrian neuropathic dictatorial buffoon.

See : Hitler's Jewish soldiers by Bryan Mark Rigg. University Press of Kansas.

And i hate to watch those 3 post menopausal fruitcakes, Cookie Roberts, Donna Brasile and Bay Buchanan, they cruelly remind how difficult it is , for not turning misogynistic.

To the muckraking Francophones

OK, i have received mails from Friends and individuals who consider themselves friends of mine, regarding my use and only use of the language of Shakespeare on this blog. But i was not supposed to write a blog in the first place, that's a brilliant idea from my friend Antithesis, the other heretical son of a bitch who used to roam the Fray with me, and spent a considerable amount of his time turning poster's ego into liquid shit (just like yours truly, but he really did it with a special kind of "savoir faire")., i was just the monkey on his shoulder. But since i cannot let the cat out of the box in the vicinity of the Fray anymore, i found myself pretty happy to piss on other's necks from the coziness of my very own space.....

Intermission. If you are into poetry and real writing, not the scatological ranting provided free of charge on these pages, you really have to check my Dear Friend blog ,Pierce Penniless : http://saffron-walden.blogspot.com/ The very own space of former Poster's King Zeus Boy, over there at the Slate's Fray. A man of considerable and unique talent, and also certainly the only person i felt honored to be insulted by (because of his particular talent). those of you who think they have encountered talent and skill on the Web haven't seen nothing until you find yourself reading John's poetry. And by the way, he also provide some severe ass kicking rants as well.......But he is more of a Maestro of the prose & Poesie than anything else.

But i digress......
So dear friends of mine who wish their daily dose of fresh irrational scabrous rants "en Francais et dans le texte"(hypocritical bastards...), your voices have been heard .....But seriously to all of you Francophone only, maybe it is about time to devote less time to Porn and start that English crash course you have been talking about for years.....(you good to nothing anti American & terrorist loving old Europeans....).

And Frederick mon cher Ami, la prochaine fois que tu te permets de questioner ma ponctuation, you are history.......(i can name jealousy when i see it...lol).

Reflexion on global warming from the radical religious right.

Global warming is the direct consequence and effect of the myth of Evolution, and its false scientific CO2 consciousness conspiracy.

What i like about the American Republican Conservative approach to Global Warming, it its simplicity. Nothing but a hoax courtesy of former vice president Al Gore. But at least they are not blaming Bill Clinton and his magic penis on this one.......I guess they are missing the fact that scientists around the world are talking position and have raised their voices on the issue, but all of them must be on Al Gore's payroll and his Democratic agenda.

Cannot trust these godless Pinkos anyway, because science requires a godless ethic.

Crash course on liberty & freedom, American style


Cspan-Washington journal Sunday Morning.



The Washington think tank smarmy pundit face was radiating with confidence, or should i call him a pundit puppet?. He was the guest that particular morning, and the day before, Senator Richard Lugar on the floor of the House delivered a speech, adamant to support for Al Qaida & its dark armies of Islamo-Fascists worldwide. "The main idea of America is individual liberty" came out from the mouth of the smarmy pundit. You have to love those words, they mean something, because of the value of the word Liberty, who doesn't love Liberty ?, who could possibly reject the very nature of Liberty, we all learned from the father of Liberty & freedom himself, the great leader george W Bush, that Liberty was universal and a gift from God to mankind, if the man said so and if you saw it on TV it must be true, if you cannot trust the President of the United States and television altogether, the world must be flat. But i am one of those who believe the world to be flat..so i called Cspan.

Hello Cspan good morning, this is S from Tokyo Japan, excuse my French but this is total bullshit!.
Brian Lamb : why ?
Me : ask your guest to define Freedom Iraqi style, ask him the cost of Freedom, ask him the number of casualties & dead who missed that Freedom opportunity by an inch of their lives,
Brain Lamb : so?.
The smarmy pundit : we don't do body count.....& the surge is working......because our great leader said so.
Me : i see.....so all i have to do is believe you, and the truth shall set me free ?.
The smarmy pundit : well......Americans are good & our intentions are honorable....
Me laughting : you know what, i chose to believe history, and history has a bias toward America....
Brian Lamb : what do you mean by that?.
Me : what i mean is, the main idea of America is individual liberty, and that's the reason the US has supported & backed up every particular form of right wing dictatorship throughout the world to this day, and is now engaged in tremendous commercial profits with the world only remaining dictatorship, Communist China.....
Brain Lamb : we have to let you go......next Republican line, you are on the air.
