No BIO they aren't transposed. But thank you for reading. The dissonance is intentional. I'm not very good for link hounds. It's meant to highlight a much larger blind spot that is at the source of our current dilemma. We can't see what's going on because we are so used to our conventional scripts. The police are good and just doing their job, while anyone carrying a gun and daring to fire on officers is clearly insane. Read below the fold...
Saw some shit today I hadn't seen since I was young. Not a good sign when the police go rabid. What was it Sarah said? "I don't give a damn about financial records or postings." Of course not. Why would the reality of housing scandals, corrupt police, inner-city drugs, and financial take over be of any significance? Read below the fold...
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." -- Joseph Goebbels
I saw this news article about troops "policing" in Alabama. didn't these folk get the memo that posse comitatus is dead? The Military Comissions Act is now in force.
“On March 10, after a report of an apparent mass murder in Samson, Ala., 22 military police soldiers from Fort Rucker, Ala., along with the provost marshal, were sent to the city of Samson,” Harvey Perritt, spokesman for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) at Fort Monroe, Va., told CNSNews.com on Monday.

With the invasion of Gaza Israel has become the poster child of the modern terror state, occupying land and resources through a combination of integrated, coordinated manuvres in real and psychological space. The combination of Mind War with Ground War is the shibboleth of modern conflict. Just so we’re not confused. I let the news speak for itself –
Interesting observation by Craig Murray former British Ambassador to the Central
Asian Republic of Uzbekistan. He writes:
I watched BBC World News for a timed hour yesterday. In that time I saw:
Pro-Israeli (including US government) speakers - 17
Pro-Palestinian speakers - 2
While Vast and Sarah search for moral balance in the land of broken clocks …
I’m going to remain firmly entrenched in the realist camp and assume, like all wars, this is about resources. Anybody want to place a bet that when this is over Israel gets a great deal on Palestinian oil and natural gas? I could be wrong. Who ever heard of bombing the shit out of a country to destabilize it in order to get control of its oil?
I watch the discussions on healthcare policy and think about Sisyphus. While the ideas are passionate, well researched and thought out I can only help thinking – this is a fool’s errand. Nowhere in the discussion of policy have I seen any discussion of implementation. I see the why, but not the how. I’m not talking about budgeting and funding, or even logistics, or implementation – what I’m talking about is the actual work of passing a vote.

I just ran into some folk who know some folk, and got word on Michael Vick … the absurdity and hypocrisy of it all is just unbearable. Michael Vick gets annihilated for dogfights, and Cheney and Gonzales get cut loose for torture and genocide. Kill a dog go to jail kill a nation get a bonus. Fuck it, nobody said life was fair. I miss you Mike. Remember baby, nobody can hold out indefinitely. Keep your head up. Read below the fold...

I’ll be real quick about this. First you need to secure the vote. Second, remove slavery as a part of our constitution. But as for Illinois remember that deal to sell, I mean lease, the Chicago Skyway? Well here is a post from a while back about what that same program did in Britain. Meanwhile, while presidential nominee Sen. Read below the fold...
One of the great things about a blogg is that it allows for memory. I posted this back in August of 2007. It’s time for a reassessment. There is no social security, there is no pension plan, there is no Medicare or Medicaid. There is only Empire.
