A Journal about Electoral Tyranny, the dullness of mobs, and diminishing returns.

SkyWatchNet

Let's not add to the rolling snowball of self-perpetuated insanity that has most recently gathered a hefty layer from The Decider's proclaimations of sanction ag'in Shi'ite Persia.

Let's instead look at what, perhaps, They™ would use such sabre-rattling clamor to obfuscate. Reports of true Kafkaesquisity in the ever-growing beurokrautik
double-blind farce of the WatchList, which a SlashDot post posits is most probably fueled by datamining. With recent NSA and telecom collusion coming into fine focus, one might argue that this is not so much a lame-duck Presidency as an infant totalitarian dictatorship we here in the US of A have allowed to bloom.

Not this Candidate.

Personally, i've always thought that the NSA had best be wiretapping and the FBI watchlisting and the CIA renditioning and such. I just would have thought these agencies more targetted and adroit at thier game, like they were during the CoIntelPro days. These days their nets are too big, too broad and ill-suited to the tasks. They aren't going to catch any fishies like this, all they're going to do is piss good people off. Or scare them.

This doesn't make it any more palattable. It just makes us a bigger target, which we didn't need help with. We've been, as the Latin Americans who survived our decades of death squads and dictators say, "pinche hue Gringos." What's the gain in this game Cheney and Company are running?

Follow the money. The "left" press is almost there; watch them pull back from it like a slug from salt. It's right under your noses when you sniff at Fox news. It's why we fight in Afganistan, Iraq, and every other Eastern Hemisphere theatre, it's why you were so confused about the voracity with which the shut-down of Lyndon LaRouche was effected.

If you say "oil" i swear to Maa i'll fucking reach through the tubes and smack your dumb asses. I done tol' allz'y'all prior that the USA is not going to get oil from Iraq. That much is obvious, or should be, to anyone with access to the internet who cares enough to look into who owns the damn pipelines. However, follow those pipelines and they'll lead you home.

If you care.

If not, look up. There's a new star in the North Eastern skies.

I just want to note that if Greenspan is coming out of retirement just to poke strawmen and soundbite about the Iraq Adventure revolving around oil, he's got more free time and less grasp of American industrial economics than i had thought.

Look at the grouse.

Two Handed Tales

Let none say that Citizen j doesn't provide the goods, being as "goods" are defined as "cartoons featuring well-endowed ladies killing Nazis/vampires".



Black Lagoon has the usual suspects, with a healthy action-to-filler ratio. Quite unlike certain kiddie Anime that's really pissing me off right now.



I'm not saying there's any parallels to electoral tyranny here. There probably isn't, other than a broad theme of personal power against legacy institutional power. One must shoot from both hips with accuracy and choose one's battles well. Even so, don't expect more than to be crushed with intact principles. A hero is just a troubled loner until they succeed, and they usually fail.

Now here's some beatz straight outta Beruit.

Some of my favorite heroes are just musicians, or in the case of HipHop/Beatmixing, just people with music. Pretty lame for a hero. Not really very heroic. I could say, "well, music, you know, it affects the vibe, it, you know, like, informs and such" but we both know that's shit. Music is less an agent of change than that spunky new haircut of yours. Music may be a measure of a civilization's spark, but it's more likely a reflection of human iconoclastic narcissism and a testament to our inability to understand harmony while mistaking uneccessary complication in artiface for beauty and ingenuity.

From the good folks at http://www.linktv.org/. Question: if the USA is in the Western Hemisphere, why do we spend so much time and money and blood in the Eastern Hemisphere?

Remember, the answer is not "oil". We already covered the Myth of Arab Oil.

Bonus Question: Why don't you want a direct vote for Chief Executive?
