Additions to th' War™ Playlist Player include a whole pack of cute Iraqui kids and the Special Opz guys they tag around with, footage of a Predator straffing insurgents, and the usual fresh-baked rapes and IEDs.
In our ever-expanding practical DIY playlist one may now find How-To's on pen guns, potato guns, ascetylene bombs, suppository delivery of DMT, mushroom picking, and proper play of the resurgent pre-teen parlour game "Choke Each Other Into Unconsciousness" in P0st-911 USofA.
Fair Friday morning t' ye'all, fellow Citizen Workers. I spent a little time last night between night tremors updating the Operation: Enduring GangRape Player. I even threw in a very touching vid from a soldier of his buddy playing football with some kids in Tukrit (or some backlot in LA, can't recall which). I felt it provided a good countertensioning between the videos on women prisoner treatment and the friendly fire POV snuff. The new opener is "Guernica In Iraq", an AMV from the WarFan communitee.
Renting: It's A War Thang, Baby

RE; FF POV: In all fairness to the US aviator(s) involved in the above archived incident in which a British convoy was introduced to The Lightening Round, the fault clearly lies with C&C. The guy asked his wingman to confirm, and then nagged him to double back on it, then re-confirmed twice with the tower. They twice (at least) erroneously reported no coalition activity or presence in the area, chiming in just after his second run. Sounds to me like he felt it coming and did his best to avoid it; the way he cracks when they describe the "yellow cabs" of the UK armour he had just vapourised smacks of deja vous.
Besides, this is BP's war. Fuck the Redcoats. If they pulled more shifts in the air and drove like White Folks they wouldn't have to duck so much.
In honor of the Anti-MOVE Mumia Haterz Society™, here's the brand-neue Mumia Abu Jamal Viewer. Updated with 5 fresh vids, layered on top for easy consumption. Check the Pam Africa vids at the end of this 40+ episode playlist, where there's an update on Mumia's case as well.
Mum(ia)'s The Word
Sri Doktor Mumia Abu Jamal's words from death row come via PrisonRadio.Org and are video mixed by Suryu, aKa ThierSpacer Ismael. /Props!
As threatened in commentary i left on and inspired by this post by Sri Lo, i present the above playlist of videos relating to CIA traffic of drugs, guns, perhaps slaves, definately money, and inteligence information as a memorial to the reporter who lost his life for investigating it.
Or maybe he commited suicide.
Maybe. Hey, it's OK; look, here's some indy reporting:
Mosaic
code:
Notable holes in Mosaic coverage are, i'm told, the paucity of Turkish, Farsi, and Hebrew sources. So here's some Hebrew.
Hibakusha is the entitled name of the survivors of Hiroshima; i'm told it means "explosion afflicted people". If i knew Japones, i would swap in the proper syllabandage to create a word for the US citizens who bathe in the afterglow of nuclear genocides of August 6th - 9th, 1945.
I love the synaptic nausea that results from meditation on US nuclear weapons testing. The reader(s) amongst you who were with me in previous years will (of course) remember that thermonuclear reaction is the Soul Crusher, the Universal Extinguisher; it is the human vehicle for delivery of instant Nirvana to all beings in the hypocenter of a blast. Thus it is a Bohdisatva Without Being; a pure zen reality without consciousness to sully its diamond bright honesty in form and function, a Way. To meditate upon it is to perhaps find the Void within; and to meditate upon its permutations as experiments is to know the mind of modern humanity.
Were scientists worried that the technique of inducing a thermonuclear reaction would stop working? Were they trying to make a cleaner bomb, and just kept fucking up until they came up with the Neutron and Cobalt death-ray devices?
Or are we just that stupid, thanatophilic and selfish?
In responce to a post on recent apparent ThierSpace deletions in light of the July 17th Executive Order, i popped off with the following Standard Cj Advice To Young Activists:
The question you should ask yourselves is: Am i here on ThierSpace to network with like-minded folks or to have a presence within the general community? I'm here for the later; it's why i came here to begin with. I will stay here, saying the things i do, posting videos and using ThierSpace hosting for media that reflect my dissenting view. I have a SiteSpace, too, which will serve little actual purpose since it appears to be set up for those of dissenting tendency (BTW, that in and of itself puts up a flag in my head, as RCP was set up to do the same in R/L, like a molassas-drenched oilcloth in a windowsill. One catches a lot of flies with honey). Although i dearly love all of you long-timers here on the Truthy™ end of the InterW3rbTubez, i personally would not use ANY site for actual networking within the context of physically resisting fascism. A Rule Of 5 cell organisation is impossible to manage using telecom wires, and the most dedicated, rational and well-connected rebel in Ithica is going to do very little to aid me and mine in Detroit. I look no further than those i can reach out and bitch-slap if neccessary to form an action cadre. Trust No One. That said, we will never affect change by removing our voices from the gestault in a fultile effort to belatedly safeguard the myth of anonanymity. Remaining a voice in the city calling for reason may encourage others to drop from the gathering mob and begin the cascade failure of the collective illusion needed to bring about a full awakening of middle America. Running to the "safe haven" in the country removes your influence and places you in the Gulag you created for yourselves by doing Thier number one job for them: Divide.
I say this from behind multiple firewalls, BTW. Proxies, kids. Love them. Go get Reporters Without Borders' guide to blogging in a hotzone. You may soon need it.
It should be noted that the above didn't post. Maybe it's merely awaiting CD's moderation. Maybe it was a script jam; ThierSpace scripts do have a life of their own, guys. They can be capricious little parsers sometimes some.
If one accepts the fact that one becomes a target by being critical and standing against tyranny, and one accepts the fact of tyranny's self-identifying definition, than one should be pro-actively armoured to the extent possible and find one's peace with the silence lurking in the margin between potential threats and the sound of splintering wood and approaching jackboots.
You know i hate agreeing with 'Lex Jones, but here we are.
Brad Will - In Memorium code:
If you think it's going to get easier to convince yourself to stand up and be counted in opposition to the thickening ligumen of blind self-interest and low-budget int'uipreta'tionsz o'r human rights, think again. Count the bodies. I haven't seen so many US reporters die in the rest of my 40 years as i have in the past 6. That's counting 12 years of Reagan/Bush, when Gary Webb was researching.
You're only going to wind up hating your colaborationist self anyway, pro'lly die a coward's death trading a sobbing blowjob for border passes into Canada. Stand up soon, in a town near you, and choose your own adventure.
"The thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't." -Gibby
Shi'ite Persian Props code:
I will never regret running the above playlist as much as i do. It's important to attempt to educate peeps as to the very real differences between places the US/UK/Dutch imperium run game and the places they can't. Persia is in the later catagory. For a very brief time it was under UK/Haj control, ending with a hot-potatoe pass to the US, who quickly ended thier democracy with imposed rule by the Shah.
This did not stand, and will not be allowed to occure again in this millenium. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a first-world superpower, one that successfully repelled 10 years of US-UK backed agression by our thugocratic ally Sadaam. Chemical weapons made by Dutch subsidiaries of Dow-Corning were funnelled to the front lines via Israeli arms merchants, and Iranian guardsmen died by the hundreds on thier own border under clouds of mustard gas. They came back with cameras and gasmasks. In the end, sheer guts and Kolenshikovs won out AGAIN over duplicity, war crimes and misfiring high-tech weapons with US serial numbers. Millions were killed.
Millions, people. That's a magnitude of scaling that you need to keep in your head when considering a possible invasion of Iran. You need to cross-reference it with thier Russian cooperative projects, and realize that this is the re-establishment of an old arraingment that kept the Caspian dynamically self-contained during epochs of external turmoil. It's called mutually benificial trade partnership and defence. The missile systems of the Russian Federation are 21st century refinements of those the Soviets had, which contrary to popular myth were capable of neutralizing any US attack. No, we don't have saucer technology, kids. Know why?
Because flying saucers from alien civilizations have never come to planet Terra.
This is because they don't exist. Oh, don't get me wrong. People have created them, and there very well may be mag-lev flying saucers in hangers at Roswell, but you should try to operate a hovercraft prior to thinking about possible mag-lev saucer action. Traction and drag are much more desirable than one would initially think. So, since that's out, and the Iranian satelite net is up, and our Stealth fleet is a black hole for research money and can be shot out of the sky by Serbs, and even Her Majerstray's Wave-Rulers stop waiving the rules just this side of Iranian territorial waters, what chance do you see our battered and broke military having with a unilateral Blitzkreig on Tehran?
None. The real stumbling block is the Chinese, of course, who have given thier one warning on the subject. Nukes are a no-go against nations bordering the OG superpower and worldwide gunpowder monopoly cartel headquarters, the People's Republic of China.
Target: Syria. I hope i'm wrong, but this looks like a misdirect ahead of a false flag, and the next logical target has ALWAYS been Syria. Israel wants it. Lebanon half-wants it. The Arab world has always wanted it; Syria is the original Semetic nation-state. Jordan just wants the rest of the middle east to STFU, maybe flood? Iraq wants to die in peace, maybe flood. Palestine wants to eat, maybe flood, exist some. Britain has what they wanted; all the oil and none of the security detail, as well as access to the Alaskan fields and proper semi-centenial draining of the US Colonies' Imaginary Treasury Reserves via the auspicious perenial perniciousness of Lord Halifax's Chartered Privateering Company.
You may ask yourself, "Well, how does the removal of Habias Corpus really affect the nature of American jurisprudence?" Regardzvous the case of Mr Sami al-Arian, who was aquited of all charges and then remanded into federal custody, where he remains.
See how that works? He was tried, found innocent, and then locked up forever. The sentance exists seperate from the charge, and is independent of relation to guilt. Pretty slick.
That's what you get for caring about Palestinians.
INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! Earlier this week our legislators in WA STATE refused to put an impeachment bill to a vote because they didn't think that's what the people of WA state want! This decision was made for you despite an unprecedented amount of phone calls, emails, and snail mail the legislatures received from all of us supporting the impeachment bill!! Show the people of WA STATE and those whose job it is to REPRESENT us what a powerful presence we are and the thousands and thousands who support the IMPEACHMENT issue!!
We will be organizing for the April 28th Impeach Day on Sunday April 21st! We need your imput! Do something to make real change happen on this EARTH DAY!!
We would like people to 'adopt' overpasses and bring large IMPEACH! signs and be at their assigned overpasses between 1:00pm and 4:00pm on April 28th. World Can't Wait will be on the 45th and 50th St (in the University District) I-5 overpasses that day! Then at 5:00 pm we will be on the North and South side of SAFECO FIELD handing out IMPEACH! balloons! (Please note; the manufacturer states that these are BIODEGRADABLE 100% natural latex balloons)
We will happily advertise your involvement on our website; http://www.seattleworldcantwait.org/ and what overpass you'll be at this coming week and include a link to your group's website if you have one, or just list you and your friends if that's what you'd like. Please email us at seattle@worldcantwait.org or better yet;
Please come to our regularly scheduled Sunday meeting; Sunday, April 21st, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM Trinity United Methodist Church 3rd Floor Fireside Room 6512 23rd Ave NW in Ballard
BE COURAGEOUS- invite everyone you know! Want some talking points to discuss with friends and family on this issue? Try these on;
Why should Bush and Cheney be driven out and IMPEACHED? Here are just a few of the high crimes and misdemeanors the Bush Adminstration has committed;
*Pre-emptive War based on lies in violation of Nuremburg Principles *Repeal of Habeas Corpus in violation of the constitution, common decency and civilized society *Codified and committed Torture through the Military Commissions Act in violation of the Geneva Conventions *Conducted kidnappings aka 'extraordinary rendition' and now detains over 16,000 people w/o charges and is currently setting up facilities to house 40,000 more in violation the Geneva Conventions *No-bid contacts given to cronies who over-charged, performed poorly, and have 'lost' millions of dollars of taxpayer money; pure corruption *Fraudulent elections in violation of the 15th ammendment *600% increase in terrorism worldwide; shameful incompetence *Created massive federal debt while giving tax cuts to the wealthy and cutting social services; shameful corruption *Worked in concert with fundamentalist religious groups to make policy changes and laws in violation of the 1st ammendment *Spying on American citizens without warrants in violation of the 4th ammendment *Created the John Warner Defense Act, a portion of which nullifies the Posse Comitatus Act and thereby allows the military to use force against American citizens
And so many more high crimes and misdemeanors that they cannot all be listed here, with no doubt as to the many more as yet unknown crimes that an intensive impeachment investigation would discover.
Our democracy is crumbling! It's time to get out and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT WHILE WE STILL CAN!!

'K. First, tomorrow's the 22nd. They did send a correction email, so let's ignore that.
BUT WHAT THE FUCKEDY COCK IS UP WITH ALLCAPS AND EXCLAIMATIONS!!!
It's not as if this wasn't generated by a script; the "WA STATE" insertion in triplicate is a give away that this was templated. Which then makes the hyperbolic "unprecedented emails" claim glare with cynical offalism, a shiney turd bobbing nauseatingly adrift in the toddler's bedpan of that opening paragraph. So someone made a template, with the wrong date, formulated for failure, and decided the inflection of summertime chatroom was the stylistic element needed to motivate the masses.
Nice. I love activism. Makes me feel like i'm in the company of reasonable adults. Always has.
I guess i'll drop a sign off of Dravus overpass, maybe. Maybe show up at the Ballard meeting just to be counted as a potential 5th columnist. No worries, Big Bro; the other 4 are MIA.
I ripped all of anti-tenure patriarch Nels' vids and stuck 'em into the media blender that is Brightcove. This is one for you fellow media propagationistaz to keep an eye on, being as it's true Web 2.0. Flash feeds with syndication controls and ad-space hooks to make the medium massage the media into mass-media message space. Ideally. No offers yet, but i tweaked the tags a bit tonight so...we'll see.
This is why i'll be doing some form of public pro-impeachment prostitution tomorrow. Concerned Citizens are duty-bound to carry the news of the day until the newspapers do.
Those of us who care too much go the extra mile to tell you what we make you think. Close your eyes and count to 100, please.
The Ghosts of Abu Ghraib was pulled last night, so i guess we can consider that a successful viewer. Or an unsuccessful pirate of HBO material.
Those guys watch for thier stuff something fierce, kids. If you're stealing from HBO, change the title.
I was prescient of this inevitablity, i surmise, since i had built the following on vids around the tags involved in the dearly departed. I reinforced it somewhat, ideally making it a nasty experience that starts with video of US troops gallantly tormenting a wounded dog.
It Lives!!!
From Beyond The Ghraib code:
It Lives!!!
Now meet The Monster.
Young Finkelstein code:
Hey, the guy's Jewish. Maybe he has a good point or two about Israel, lobbies, and crying wolf. Maybe he'll never teach at Brandies University. Then again, the late Justice Louis Brandies probably wouldn't be able to, either.
I guess nobody else has noticed the IDF incursion in Nablus. Israel has been wrecking the West Bank city for the past 4 days, since the Palestinian infighting came to a screeching halt in Mecca last week. I'm not implying that the two are related.
The Electronic Intifada is one of my fave feeds; they never fail in depressing the shit out of me with some YHWH-forsaken tale of inhumanity. The Palestinian people have nothing to lose by risking life and limb to get word out about what goes on behind the Wall Of Shame, since they're all targeted for genocide anyway.
It's Treblenka in slow-motion, going strong since 1948. Israel's anti-Semitism knows no bounds.
So i made it up to myself by adding some new fun facts & DIY to the Functional Intructional playlist, including an intro to circuit bending.
Functional Instructitainmentismae code:
Also, regardez vous si vous plais, important new additions to the Renting In Iraq saga, most probably with a shelf-life. Notably probably effemeral are the CNN Al-Quiada funding story and the "leaked" footage of a US fighter striking British troops.
Aluminium Azrael
Renting: A War Joint code:
I added a short clip depicting a British Tornado fighter-bomber striking an Iraqi position. Here's the frame of interest.
HMMMMMMM.
I just assumed it was a laser-guided bomb, until i noticed another user had uploaded it with a title asking, "Is this a laser?" I watched that one, and thought that it had been altered. Then i watched this one again, which doesn't make mention of laser guidance or much of anything.
According to Wikipedia, which i'll admit is NOT Jane's, the Tornado carries Paveway laser-guided bombs, which are all unpowered, meaning no contrail. So....w/e. I don't think we're at laser stage yet for actual weaponry, although we're close.
Man, we suck. No wonder you chickenshits don't trust yourselves with direct democracy. I have bad news, though: your current ruling elite is rich, and the rich HATE YOU.
