How can I really say this, besides just saying: terrorism is the reason to do anything. Period. What was communism is now terrorism. I know I am not alone feeling this way, but if anyone in the public spoptlight said anything like, “Hey, you know, the Global War on Terrorism is a bunch of bullhockey. There is no ubiquitous demon out there, like some boogeyman, conniving to take away your FREEDOM”.
Can you imagine? Hannity would blow his lid. Well, I think the GWOT is bullshit. I don’t think there are these people who hate us for what we stand for. They may hate us for meddling in their business in their land, but they (whoever they is) do not hate us for what we are. There are those equivalent to our “red-neck mafia” and such, but are they their majority? Is it ours? I am not on the farm anymore. They are not trying to take away our freedom, our way of life, our fundies our trying to take it from them, using their fundies as provocation
And to all you who spout “They treat their women like shit, they are fundamentalist freaks… blah blah blah” I say unto you, “The fundamentalist appear when the reasonable people have been beaten out of the public square. It is the fundamentalist who rise up when a society has had its back pushed to the wall.” America did not create the beehive. But they certainly keep throwing rocks at it.
And when the swarm strikes: BLAMO its A WORLD WIDE CRUSADE AGAINST OUR WAY OF LIFE.
May I tell you, late night blog traveler, this GWOT is bogus. But its premise is to build the walls. The real walls. The walls that protect those who protect/ exploit us.
Yes, tonight I’ve been talking, getting myself worked up a bit, which I may add does not happen much. I tend not to get “worked-up”. But it continues. I just… I’m sick of it. I’m sick of the GWOT being the KEY to everything big and small:
No kidding.

“Directors raised with him their concerns of the possibility of an increased security risk he would bring to the bank.”
Ya think? Do you think the guy who designed a war may have enemies? Do you think this is the guy to run the World Bank (well, yes, because I don’t believe the WB is a benevolent institution)?
Listen. If the World Bank were a generous organization clearly committed to improving life around the world instead of driving all kinds of local economies into the void, then Wolfowitz would be like appointing the Rev. Jim Jones to speak for all religions if God ever set “foot” on Earth. But… the World Bank is not interested in improvement, they are interested in debt.
By appointing Wolfowitz to head it, (which was passed unaminously), obvious attention will be drawn to him and the institution. But what is he being protected from? Terrorist? Or anybody who has been wronged by him? Is there a difference?
I’ve read stuff explaining how the Repugliastics complain about others doing the same things they do to other people. Why is terrorism any different? Does this administration behave like terrorists?
All I got to say is, we have dropped alot more on them than they have on us. The World Bank will have tighter security because of Terrorist Threats because Wolfowitz is the new head. Another rock at a beehive. Antagonize them into acting.
Slaps to the face. Bolton. Wolfowitz. Gonzales. Rice. I recognize this language. It is the language of a takeover. And building the walls to protect the newly conquered ground.

will probably have in it’s text file,
The Great Walls of the Uncivilized World:
1. The Great Wall of China (protected China from invaders)
2. The Berlin Wall (Communist Regime that failed)
3. The US Republican Wall (Death of a Nation)
The true threat to all American freedoms is the Republican party. The whole Shiavo thing was about the judiciary and being able to say, as DeLay did, “the judes are out of control”. So see, now we have to get our judges in there to “reform” this broken system. The judiciary isn’t out of control, the majority congress is. They are slowly widdling away our “right” and “freedoms” such as the Shiavo interference. It is more like Fascism on the March I am afraid. Will nothing stop these people?
It is more like Fascism on the March I am afraid.
Me too. The thing is, Fascism can be manifested in more ways than the all too familiar style of the Nazis. And because our current situation is not exactly like previous ones, a lot of people, good, smart people that I know, refuse to see the similarities. They only point out the differences, as if to say, “No, there is no fascism here.”
Exactly, and that is what scares me the most. People that cannot fathom that could ever happen in the USA. How many times when there were acts of terrorism elsewhere in the world did not most of us just say wow, that is so sad and move right along because THAT could never happen here? The 9/11 and Bush grabbing on to it to pursue his agenda and use it as an excuse to pursue that agenda. That there are so many people that have blinders on is what allows this administration to run amok. AND it is not an overnight thing. Rove has been pursuing this agenda for thirty years.
Remember Mad Magazine’s Spy vs. Spy?
The neo-con world has grown out of the spook system. The thing is, there are factions in the spook system. Plus, they are all necessarily paranoid.
The edges of the spook system are not clear-cut. It sort of fades off into the organized crime system. Think Adnan Kashogi, the “arms dealer.”
Seen meeting with Richard Perle not too long ago.
Spy Vs. Spy was the White Spy vs. the Black Spy.
All these spooks are grey.
Whoa – great typo – right?
“”the judes are out of control”. “
