RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

Ted Kennedy brought this up earlier today:

“It became clear that if we were prepared to stay the course, we could help to lay the cornerstone for a diverse and independent [region]. If we faltered, the forces of chaos would smell victory and decades of strife and aggression would stretch endlessly before us. The choice was clear. We would stay the course. And we shall stay the course.”

- Lyndon Johnson

So I just went and made the mistake of watching the Saddam hanging video. It looks like they did it in the hallway behind the stock area of an auto parts store. As is tradition in state sponsored and/or terrorist snuff videos, there were ski masks over the faces of the executioners.

I found out Saddam Hussein was dead from the clerk at City Lights bookstore in San Francisco. I bring this personal ante-dote up only because I can. It’s sort of like saying I was eating scones with Noam Chomsky on the morning of 9-11.

As amazing as it is, Saddam’s death doesn’t seem to have stabilized the Iraqi “State.” Somehow, against all odds, unfriendly non-crunchy style anarchy is still on the march.

Being the huge Bill O’Reilly fan that I am, I was confused when the staff and patrons at City Lights didn’t appear to be visually distressed by the news. No tears, no anger, no lighting of candles under a little Saddam altar in the window. If anything, people were deflated and resigned. They wondered what his death really mattered and even if it might have been unwise to execute him in the middle of a civil war. Who knows? I mean at this point how much worse could it really get?

Soon George Bush will say that he’s though long and hard about things and that the answer to Iraq is more troops. I say this because that’s the line being taken by those who shape the line, but this is also a good time to remember the lessons our president learned from the Vietnam War. When asked about those lessons, he said:

“One lesson is that we tend to want there to be instant success in the world, and the task in Iraq is going to take a while… We’ll succeed, unless we quit.”

I don’t really have anything else to say.

Last night I went to the Free Library to hear a lecture on post war Europe by super-scholar, Tony Judt. Educated at King’s College, Cambridge and the École Normale Supérieure, professor of history at Cambridge, Oxford, Berkley and NYU I knew Judt only by an article I read in the New York Review of Books way back in 2003. In that article, Judt argued the same points I have always argued myself about the state of Israel.

In cold historical terms, Israel was an anachronism. World War II ended with the Western World’s ultimate rejection of the ethno-religious nation state. Israel was founded on the very principles that WWII so horrendously purged. Many of Israel’s international problems of legitimacy stemmed from the fact that Western consensus ultimately rejected the most fundamental grounds on which Israel was established. In Judt’s words:

“The problem with Israel, in short, is not—as is sometimes suggested—that it is a European “enclave” in the Arab world; but rather that it arrived too late. It has imported a characteristically late-nineteenth-century separatist project into a world that has moved on, a world of individual rights, open frontiers, and international law. The very idea of a “Jewish state”—a state in which Jews and the Jewish religion have exclusive privileges from which non-Jewish citizens are forever excluded— is rooted in another time and place. Israel, in short, is an anachronism.”

This article was written in 2003. At the time it was regarded with widespread derision and even death threats.

But this is one hell of a watershed historical era. Things are happening very quickly. It can be argued (and Judt argued this last night) that Europe today is becoming much more like Israel than Israel has become like Europe.

The crucial question in Europe today – he argued – is Muslim immigration and the frightening reaction to it. If you think the backlash against immigrants in this country is ugly, you’ve seen nothing compared to the state of affairs in European politics.

Denmark’s recent election split the country between far right and far left. To put this in some kind of identifiable context, imagine the U.S. political landscape being split not between some amorphous centrist Congressional lump and a (now publicly regretted) far right executive branch, but instead between a passionate Green Party and an equally passionate Republican party led by Pat Buchanan. This comparison isn’t quite accurate, but it gives you a sense of things in Europe these days.

Judt argued that Europe is faced with its first real test since the Second World War. So far the signs are extremely discouraging.

Western Europe established the cherished welfare state in order to fend off the economic and political scenarios, which led to devastating war and the rise of fascism. Cultural homogeneity made a society based on a socialist ideal of trust much easier to establish and maintain.

What I mean by this is that, a terrible result of WWII was the near total ethnic cleansing of European nation states. The distastefully serendipitous result of that “cleansing” was the ethno-cultural homogenization of Europe. Now that these states are required to deal with visible minority populations, that trust is quickly evaporating. Old prejudices are returning as if they never left. Judt made the extremely important point that if you replace the word “Muslim” with the word “Jew” in any of the European right’s rhetoric, what you get is startlingly similar to what existed before the 20th century wars.

What we have then is a Europe increasingly based on ideas of ethnic and cultural majority identity. From state to state, these identities are based on shared myths of nationality. Muslim populations are marginalized and regarded as pariah groups different culturally, linguistically and racially.

To bring this back to my earlier point, Europe is slipping backward into the pre-war intellectual territory of the ethnically based nation state. The Israeli model, which just 3 years ago was regarded by Judt and myself as an anachronism is increasingly relevant in modern Europe.

Also following the 20th century pattern, is the United States, which in it’s own unique way is right there with Europe. The world is beginning to split again. This time the fracture is between the West and the Muslim world. Of course you already knew that, but if you’ve read this far, I hope that now you have a greater understanding of what it is that’s actually going on. That’s all for now.

The United States government does many things in many places. Intelligence services will often, willingly work with seriously disturbed criminals. If the criminals also happen to be the power brokers in a region of interest, then all ends justify whatever means are necessary to achieve those ends. Remember that photo of Rumsfeld and Saddam Hussein? Remember all those articles about the United States training and funding bin Laden’s Afghan army during the Soviet/Afghan war?

It’s no secret. At this point it’s a joke. Assets become enemies, or unexpected blowback ushers in a Global Age of Terror. In the documentary Why We Fight, former CIA agent Chalmers Johnson discussed the idea of blowback. “Blowback,” he said “does not mean simply the unintended consequences of foreign operations, it means the unintended consequences of foreign operations that were deliberately kept secret form the American public; so that when the retaliation comes, the American public is not able to put it in context, put cause and effect together; that they come up with questions like why do they hate us?”

Finding out who our government is working with and what the consequences of that work may be, is extremely important. Because of the vagaries of this information and the difficulty or lack of interest is takes to find it, most of it goes unnoticed for a generation. Years ago, investigative reporter Gary Webb put together a compelling series accusing the CIA of working with central American drug dealers. During the 1980’s these dealers protected as assets in order to fund the war against the Contras. As a result of this the United States was flooded with high grade Central American cocaine, sparking among other things, the crack epidemic.

At the time, Webb’s series was swift boated. (apt analogy considering John Kerry was one of his on-camera supporters, see Dateline video) Webb himself remained an investigative reporter until he commit suicide by the extremely rare method of multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Shortly before his death, Dateline, of all programs reinvestigated Webb’s original investigation. Here is that broadcast.

Here’s a less flashy video of John Stockwell, the highest ranking CIA whistleblower to speak out on the consequences of some of The United States’ more disturbing affiliations.

Because that man was out of his fucking mind. Seriously. For months I’ve been reading from my questionable internet sources that their questionable real-world sources in the military were actively questioning Rumsfeld’s sanity, but this New Yorker article seems to legitimize what’s been whispered. Here’s a telling excerpt which quotes Rumsfeld’s longtime friend, Kenneth Adelman:

“I suggested that we were losing the war,” Adelman said. “What was astonishing to me was the number of Iraqi professional people who were leaving the country. People were voting with their feet, and I said that it looked like we needed a Plan B. I said, ‘What’s the alternative? Because what we’re doing now is just losing.’ ”

Adelman said that Rumsfeld didn’t take to the message well. “He was in deep denial—deep, deep denial. And then he did a strange thing. He did fifteen or twenty minutes of posing questions to himself, and then answering them. He made the statement that we can only lose the war in America, that we can’t lose it in Iraq. And I tried to interrupt this interrogatory soliloquy to say, ‘Yes, we are actually losing the war in Iraq.’ He got upset and cut me off. He said, ‘Excuse me,’ and went right on with it.”

Now picture that scene:

Adelman: Rummy, my old friend, I’m concerned. People in Iraq are voting with their feet. They’re leaving the country. What’s plan B? It’s starting to look like were losing this war.

Rumsfeld: Are we losing the war? No we’re not losing the war. Could we lose the war? The only way we lose is if we lose faith in America. Stay the course, that’s how to win. What about me? I’m doing a great job…. (talking continues)

(15 minutes later)

Adelman: Umh… yes we are actually losing the war in Iraq.

Rumsfeld: Excuse me, I was talking. Are we losing the war? No we are not losing the war. Things are going fine in Iraq. So you have to break a few eggs to make a democracy? Yes that’s exactly what I was saying. I’m glad you agree…

Just unbelievable. Wow. I mean who could have expected this? I’m speechless. For no reason at all, here are some old propaganda newsreels of U.S. atomic bomb tests:

So I’ve been seeing that crazy commercial about net neutrality paid for by the National Cable and Telecommunications Association. Here’s something really brief that someone by the handle of Ergasiophobia wrote over at /..

“It seems the National Cable & Telecommunications Association is spreading a blatant lie in the form of a commercial claiming that the net neutrality act will cost the consumer more and that it is ‘bad’ for the consumer. This, of course, ignores how much the cable companies will profit from the act’s defeat. For some truthful information on the net neutrality act check out savetheinternet.com”

I disagree with one point above. They commercial doesn’t really lie. Lying implies that a something was actually said. The commercial merely calls net neutrality “mumbo jumbo.” Mumbo Jumbo is simply defined as: “the guardian of western Sudan villages symbolized by a masked man who combats evil and punishes women for breaches of tribal laws.”

Or in this case, it’s more likely defined as: “meaningless incantation or ritual.” So like Lynn Swann’s campaign platform, the commercial is a bunch of words that mean absolutely nothing. I could say the commercial is “mumbo jumbo” but that would just be a stupid punchline. Really it just plays to that great human combination of massive ignorance and relative stupidity. But that’s not a good punchline either. Why not just watch the ad: [link]

Dublin, 25th August 2006: Steorn, the technology development company, has today announced a cut-off date for scientists to respond to its challenge to take part in a public validation of its free energy technology. Steorn placed an advertisement in the Economist on August 18th inviting ‘the most qualified and the most cynical’ scientists to step forward. More than 3,000 scientists have now responded and the deadline for any last minute applications has been set for 12 midnight, September 8th.

Steorn’s technology is based on the interaction of magnetic fields and allows the production of clean, free and constant energy. The technology can be applied to virtually all devices requiring energy, from cellular phones to cars.

From all the scientists who accept Steorn’s challenge, 12 will now be invited to take part in a rigorous testing exercise to prove that Steorn’s technology creates free energy. The results will be published worldwide.

Sean McCarthy, CEO of Steorn, commented: “We expected a good response to our advertisement because of its potential and its implications for the scientific world. Our technology goes far beyond scientific curiosity and addresses many urgent global needs including security of energy supply and zero emission energy production. In order for these benefits to be achieved, we need the public validation and endorsement of the scientific community.”

“The next stage is to go through the applications and validate the information that we have been presented with. That will enable us to select a jury of 12 of the world’s best-qualified scientists who are prepared to test the technology and publish their findings to the world, whatever those findings turn out to be.”

Steorn will contact all of the scientists who have applied to investigate its technology so that it can validate their educational background and areas of research. It anticipates that testing will begin before the New Year. The length of time that the testing will take will be determined by the 12 scientists, as will the location and format of the test process.

I haven’t written fake news in a while… but.

Years ago, I remember seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger on Arsenio Hall. He jokingly told Arsenio that the real, Austrian way to pronounce his name was “Schwartze-nigger” and that, (it’s been a long time and I don’t remember his exact words) “we have more in common than you thought.” It was those comments that inspired me to re-work the following Reuters article. [original article here]

Schwarzenegger tells Leno link to Bush is “ridiculous”
By Steve Gorman/Steve Weinik

LOS ANGELES - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger distanced himself from President George W. Bush on national television on Wednesday, saying he was as far from his fellow Republican as he was from winning an Academy Award during his film career.

“To link me to George Bush is like linking me to an Oscar. That’s ridiculous.” the former bodybuilder and Hollywood action star joked during an appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” “You know why, you know why?” Schwarzenegger continued. “Like my father said, you will never win an Oscar in Hollywood. The Jewish people” he said while tapping his nose with his index finger, “will never allow me to play anything but evil cyborg or kindergarten teacher. I could do Shakespeare.” Schwarzenegger insisted. “The White House, it is now the same way. The neoconservatives, the Jews, they control everything now. Do I look like a Jew? That’s ridiculous.”

The Governor’s remarks, which were met with silence from the audience and an uncomfortable joke about Mel Gibson from Leno, have set off a firestorm of controversy that the Schwarzenegger campaign has struggled to contain. “The Governor’s remarks were intended as a joke. The Governor harbors no animosity towards the Jewish faith or its people.” Spoke Schwarzenegger’s spokesman, Hans Reich, III at a hastily convened Wednesday morning press conference.

It was Schwarzenegger’s fifth guest spot on the late-night comedy show since he used a 2003 appearance on the program to announce his first campaign for public office in 2003. The remarks re-ignited questions about the Schwarzenegger family’s ties to the Nazi party during the Second World War.

The governor’s Democratic challenger in his bid for a second term, state Treasurer Phil Angelides, complained NBC was snubbing him while unfairly giving Schwarzenegger, “a clear nazi sympathizer” valuable media exposure weeks before the election.

A spokesman for the Angelides campaign accused NBC of violating federal rules that generally require broadcasters to give opposing candidates equal time. The Angelides “nazi sympathizer” remarks have forced the campaign into full damage control mode.

“Not only does Angelides seek to control the content of what you see on late night television, he seeks to control the speech and content of those programs as well.” Spoke Reich at Wednesday’s press conference.

A Fox News poll shows that California voters do side with Schwarzenegger’s free-speech platform by a 2-1 margin over Angelides policy of censorship and increased restrictions on public speech.

“What we have here is a clear blunder by the Democratic Party of California, really the Democratic Party at large.” Remarked Tony Snow when asked about the Schwarzenegger/Angelides controversy during Wednesday’s White House Press conference. “The Democrats are a threat to the Constitution and to the liberties guaranteed in that Constitution. I think that much is clear.”

I heard the president trying to pass the blame off on North Korea’s nuclear status on the Clinton administration. I am only one man and I have little time for research. Therefore let me refer you to a fun and informative video. The people at Frontline are many and well resourced. Please watch this episode regarding both administrations approaches towards NK. It’s broken down into manageable shorter videos.  [link]

This evening I discovered that at some point, my cable hook-up started re-allowing the Fox News Channel. I was so happy. I love watching Fox News. As icing on the cake, I discovered this miracle at the beginning of the O’Reilly’s Factor. Don’t ask me how, but the Factor is somehow it’s worse than it used to be.

Highlights were most definitely his immigration coverage. He set the stage with his least offensive piece, a short bit on the new security fence along the border. (Keep in mind I said least offensive not inoffensive.) What followed the fence story, and I’ll use his words in “”’s here: Video (repeated over and over) of 2 “Latino Girls” “attacking” and “Anglo” girl. He warned that more of this was coming and described the problem of single mother’s in the Latino community in the United States as “mirroring the African American problem.” The African American wha…? Someone get that man a white sheet.

My love of Fox News soon waned and I switched back over to Keith Olbermann who was running through the remaining valid amendments in our Bill of Rights after Jefe Bush’s recent destruction of Habeas Corpus. It turns out that only amendment 3 really stands anymore, or in case you forgot:

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

I’ve brought up Wayne Madsen before. If even a tenth of what he writes is actually true then all of your deepest fears and suspicions about this country are well-founded. On the other hand, his reporting is usually completely insane. Half investigative journalist, half gossip columnist and half conspiracy theorist (there’s a lot of overlap in all those halves) Madsen writes seemingly anything and asks you to take him either at his word or at the word of his many, never-named sources. True or not, he can be damn entertaining to read. Case in point = today’s report:

October 7/8, 2006 — The rumors about another top GOP member of the House being involved in sexual encounters with young “men for hire” are confirmed to WMR by well-placed sources in Washington’s gay community. The member in question is House Speaker Dennis Hastert, whose “alternate” life style is the primary reason for him and his staff covering up the scandal involving ex-Florida GOP Rep. Mark Foley and his lewd messages sent to underage male congressional pages. Hastert’s penchant to receive anal sex is well-known to our sources in DC’s gay community. Additionally, Hastert’s reported extremely small penis is the subject of many jokes among Washington’s gay circles… (rest of story)

How I dream for these things to be true.

In the spirit of full disclosure, here’s a chat transcript between disgraced Republican (ex) Congressman Mark Foley and his 16 year old (same sex) object of his pedophilic affection. Haha!

Good news. The possibility of an election being stolen through a breach in electronic voting machines is no longer a conspiracy theory. A conspiracy involves more than 1 person. Princeton University has recently demonstrated that a single person could compromise an election. A single person does not a conspiracy make.

If you think this is nothing to worry about, ask yourself this. If you could, would you change the outcome of the election of your choice? What if your interests were personal and involved lots of power of $? What if you could?

Even if you don’t believe an election has yet been thrown, you’d have to agree that these security holes aren’t really a good thing to leave hanging around. In case you’re still not worried, here’s a 2 year old Fox News story about a monkey hacking a Diebold machine.

I didn’t want to do another 9-11 post, but I’ve got the TV on and just heard “Tonight, Ann Coulter squares off with a 9-11 widow.” Holy fuck that bitch is crazy. Wow! I hope she gives an illegal immigrant the Abu-Ghraib treatment next Tuesday for Mexican Independence day!

Right now, I’m listening to Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute speaking about Iran regime change on Fresh Air. All I can really think of is this quote, usually attributed to Albert Einstein:

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

This is really, deadly serious.

*edit: now that it’s over, I need to edit this. This man and those who hold his views are not insane, they are raving fucking lunatics. They are deluded to a point so far gone that they should be confined, given large doses of anti-psychotics and enrolled in serious, intensive therapy. The man should be in a straightjacket. Unfortunately he’s got the exclusive ear of the president and his administration. If we get out of this presidency without a war in Iran, consider yourself very, very lucky.
