spitting-image.net Steal this idea ... please!
First of all, thank you for actually coming up with an idea, something to get our ol' progressive noodles a-spinnin' about how we can best extract our Democracy from the jaws of the pet goat and his evil-doers. The problem with planning a massive demonstration is that the corporate-owned media, including NPR and PBS, will find a way to distort the coverage or avoid it all together. The media has learned a lot from the 70s and I believe we now need to come up with creative new ideas for our times. Here's an idea off the top of my head Each and every American household fed up with the fact that we are living in a perpetual state of war can make ourselves a large sign and display it prominently in our front window. Neighborhoods and communities can schedule sign-making parties. Some neighbors can commit to construct a sign for a family that does not have the time or resources to make one on their own. There's always the bumper sticker idea for the mobile set, and even the freeway blogger could get involved. It wouldn't take long and Americans would want to be jumping on the 20% bandwagon. This kind of a project could be a lead-up to a massive demonstration. By that time, with so many signs having met so many eyeballs, would the media dare lie to us about what was going on? Many of the progressive bloggers seem stuck in the "...and here's even more proof" mode. We don't need any more proof, damn it! Now is the time for creative ideas and the strong progressive leadership necessary to carry them out. Thanks again for the article. And in the combined spirit of both Abbie Hoffman and Rodney Dangerfield, I would ask that you do me a favor and, "Steal this idea...please!" Melinda R.

I liked Edwards more than Kerry but the Demo machine backed Kerry and handed him the nomination. Losers. No one will be ready to march until 2008, I think. Maybe not until 2010 :-) Therefore, I recommend putting Mr. Chuckles essay like an advertisement top right on U.N. and just fucking keeping it there.

Sun Tzu, blockbuster bombs, and daisy cutters
I've been a fan of Sun Tzu ever since I started reading the novels of James Clavel (King Rat, Nobel House, Whirl Wind) back in the early '80s and right up to when he died. While the quotes you transcribe have mostly to do with the strategies and tactics of (more) conventional warfare (and consequently are functionally "dated" in this latest era of openly advertised "perpetual war), where Sun Tzu made his most insightful observations was not with the methods of combat themselves, but instead was "agelessly" in the realm of "preemptive propaganda." Sun Tzu basically invented "psyops" about 15 hundred years before there was even a scientific discipline called psychology. He understood that you could I used to have a book on Sun Tzu until I stupidly lent it out and, from there, it allegedly got "lent out" again and "apparently" lost. As it is, I never did get the opportunity to practice any Chinese interrogation methods on the MFer who didn't return my book ... I'm absolutely certain that if I coulda' just pulled a few fingernails my book would have been rediscovered in quicktime. Ah, the lost opportunities of youth. Anyway, I've always heard that the 10 thousand pound bomb for which you (seem to) have provided photos as having been referred to as a "Blockbuster." If you look at the area that is shown stripped clear by the blast, the area leveled does more or less appear to be about a small city block. As it is, I guess that Blockbuster must have sounded too aggressive to the "new-age" conflict-merchants of Madison Avenue, so with the next generation of bio-atomizers, they thought to "sweeten" the perspective by making it sound horticultural. I can almost hear the PM of India wistfully placing an order; " ... and, oh yes dear, I'll take a dozen Daisy Cutters ... DanD

And another thing. Most of the time I read the papers or watch the news on dummyvision, the enemy in Iraq is referred to as 'insurgents'. Now I 'think' they are trying to give the impression that all of these gunfighters are coming from somewhere else. Now we and I know that practically all of these bubbas are home grown. [U.S. claims of foreign fighters in Iraq "insurgency" are mostly bogus, U.S. wildly overstated foreign fighter numbers in Iraq] That makes this whole fucking mess a civil war Of course the government does not want to openly admit that this is truthfully the case because then it would have to admit to many other unpleasant truths. Like every time you break into someone's house and scare the shit out of their wives and children you create one more 'insurgent'. England saw that it was going down the drain... the politicians there saw that they would soon be selling pencils on the corner if they kept this charade up much longer. The tide of public opinion has a much stronger effect in that country. And it is easier to change a government since they have elections more often and also special elections when faith in their leaders is at a low ebb. Here we don't have that. We have to keep the fucking rats until their term expires. They are like doctors and cops. They will always cover their own, no matter how evil or corrupt they are. Marvin A.
Not fantasy nor imagination
Hello, Helen. I would agree wholeheartedly with your view which is why I am careful to let this thing stay within my own borders. However, I am grateful for the opportunity that new doors opened and hope to make the best of it. I have kept notes and details. Have discovered some things being led to such, shown if you will, unseen by others that proved to me this was not fantasy nor imagination.. Which I hope to use for further creative efforts... Hello Harry, thanks for your comments... this fella nixon did some interesting things... he was always a little scary to me... the guy seemed a little too desperate... looking into his background and those he used about him, he seems to stack in pretty well with what prescott bush had set up for himself and his boys to follow... prescott and joe kennedy had leanings, similarities in that they were both visionaries with a motivation that would create dynasties... to me that's pretty much where the similarities end... from there they were as different as black from white, evil from goodness... all things not being perfect, however, the kennedys stood to become the greatest leaders of the 20th century... guess that's why they didn't last too long... huh? which leads me to believe goodness is not enough, one must know his enemy as well as or better than himself, particularly when it comes from within, . to create safeguards .that would protect the evolution and procurement for future generations to come... the wolves having been loosed unto the flock, danger abounds now on all sides... best regards dave l.
Counterpoint to "stinky badges"
To play devils advocate though, here's a story you may find amusing as a counterpoint. It caught my attention and I thought of your site right away. It shows that there may be hope yet!!! In this story, some cop (Chief Dick Knoebel) drove past a stopped school bus with its lights flashing in September, then wrote himself a ticket for $235 and docked himself four points on his driving record. The link to the story is here: Cop who ticketed himself reaps praise Anyway, keep up the great site, and have a good day! Rene C.
Out-of-control feds
The 2d Amendment secures the right of the people to keep and bear arms without mentioning why. The "why" is to provide a balance to the federal military power, which, absent an armed populace, might be used by a renegade president to oppress the people. But to say this in the constitution might be taken to suggest it. Juries have the power to acquit "in the teeth of the law," for any reason or for no (discernible) reason. However, to point this out to each jury might be taken to suggest that they do it. The people are expected to have an innate sense that as they cannot be punished for their verdict, they can acquit despite overwhelming evidence that the accused is guilty. Lincoln acted as a dictator. He suspended habeas corpus, and granted his generals power to do so. He had the governor and part of the legislature of Maryland arrested and imprisoned to make sure Md. didn't secede. Supreme Court chief justice Taney went into hiding to avoid arrest at Lincoln's order as Taney had said that Lincoln's war was unconstitutional. The Bush regime has ample precedent for ignoring the constitution and the law. His predecessors who did it got away with it and in fact are some of history's favorite presidents, in large part for ignoring the constitution and the law. The South is blamed for starting the "Civil" war. However, the cannon fire toward Ft. Sumter was in response to union ships coming with troops and ammunition to build up the garrison, in violation of the promise to send only food and non-military supplies until an agreement could be made to settle payment for United States property within the Confederate States. How could any nation tolerate a fort of a hostile foreign power in one of its principal harbors? Oh, well, all water under the bridge. The United States of America of 1776-1861 is long gone and dead except in the hearts of lovers of liberty. The usurers own the nation and all its subjects, having foreclosed on the unpaid debt long ago. We and our posterity are pawned as security for the unpayable debt (which is estimated at $45+ trillion). Thomas Jefferson asked for one amendment to the constitution: a prohibition of the federal government borrowing money. For while it might make financing wars difficult, it would by that reduce wars by 9 out of 10. And, if the people felt the country was truly threatened by a foreign power they would be forthcoming with the funds to pay for such a war, according to Jefferson. Jefferson prefaced the above by affirming that the power to issue bills of credit (paper money) was denied the federal government. The final draft of the constitution provided power to borrow money and emit bills on the credit of the United States. The constitution deleted the phrase "and emit bills," thereby debunking the 1884 Supreme Court's opinion that the omission of the power to emit bills of credit did not deny such power, as it was an inherent attribute of sovereignty. Since when has it been an inherent attribute of sovereignty to issue bogus promises? The kings of Europe did not do so, for no one would accept them outside the king's own kingdom, and his own subjects would avoid them as much as they could. The French reign of terror forced Frenchmen to accept assignats on pain of the guillotine, but no one else would take them. The Khan forced his subjects to accept his mulberry bark "money" on pain of beheading, but no one outside his realm would take them. The Continental Congress issued "Continental Dollars," which patriots would accept, but their value sank so rapidly that everyone but the most determined patriots would get rid of them as fast as they could. They were finally paid off ten cents on the dollar, at least those that were presented for payment. Bob
Didn't ask for this, none of it
HI nice to meet you also. Don't blame you at all for being skeptical. I understand. We have to be. I am that way myself. I probably should have held off sending that email. I have not spoken about this stuff to anybody. Its too weird for me and I am not even sure why I brought it up. It just came out. That's not the type of thing you want to put out there especially with others you haven't really met. But its done and yes as far as I am concerned there is no doubt in my mind I connected with jfk. This went on for a period of time particularly very heavy when it started about a year ago. However, there is another person whom I cannot mention names that I have really connected with hard [from the sixties as well] [on the other side], and because of that this other thing with jfk came thru. Probably one of the most bizarre things I have ever gone thru in my life. Didn't ask for this, none of it, never even thought about any of it. I cannot explain any whys or how comes, all I can state is that this door opened up in the middle of night one night and I am still trying to make sense of all this and put this together. Its pretty much freaked me right out. I thought I was going nuts. Kept trying to discern the best I could what in the hell was going on. You know the mind is a receiver but damn, you have to question the hell out of things when you go thru something like this. But I have gotten used to it better over time. Normally when one has strange things happen during sleep you wake up in the morning and go on with your life and do not think about it anymore. Not with this. It just got more intense over time, especially during waking consciousness, kind of like there is this relationship going on, only they are not here in the flesh but it sure as hell feeeeeeeels like they are. I have never had this happen to me before. Not something like this. Normally I just go to sleep and don't even remember my dreams a lot of times. Since this first began I have been searching for bits and pieces of meaning, the whys, what fors, and have slowly been formulating some ideas that seem to be sane, relevant, and realistic and by the by things have been coming to me backing me up supporting my ideas about what this is all about. I can honestly tell you this. Whatever this is all about... its changed my life in a big way... I guess what really gets me is that we had this window in the sixties, to really put things together in this country, to bring all the best of everything together. We really did, to put together the spiritual, material, political, all of it. We had all the right players on the stage, everything appeared to be lining up to take the United States into the future as a genuine leader, a utopian to be perhaps, to truly lead the world, bring it into the light... and then within a matter of a few years all the players self-destructed... chaos ensued Never before in the history of this country since the era of our founders, other than Lincoln, had we the opportunity to do so much good as that heraldic decade of the sixties. What was the lesson, perhaps this... wisdom, not naivete must grow in step with innocence, lest we become sheep loosed unto wolves... best regards dave l.
The troops they claim to support
The usual suspects are in the shadows waiting to strike! Once again the provocateurs are in place to pull another USS Liberty. Another Gulf of Tonkin, Another Preemptive Murder is about to take place. Most of the American idiots will buy it. You and won't! Do you know most people I speak with have never heard of a False Flag operation. They don't have any idea what it is. One administration blames another for the dumbing down of americans while it takes advantage of it! Incredible but not surprising. The American pResident's theme song has become ''Thick As A Brick!'' Leon was saying last night that when the German people read Mein Kampf they knew Hitler's plan and so as things played out later they could go back to the book and see things were going according to Hitler's plan, just like we can look at the PNAC and as things happen we too can see things are going to plan.

Trying to keep my focus
It sounds to me like you've done more than your share of blind-side "black bagging" than the more traditional infantry types. I remember a very few times my father let me hang out "at the office" next to the tarmac at Rein Mein, the occasional night-mission air drops I would sometimes attend at his insistence (he also wanted his "little boy" to sign on the dotted line after graduating from FAMDHS), or his own "war stories" where he would talk about the FAC work he did in Vietnam. You know all those old yarns, searching out the enemy behind lines, finding their formations in the early morning light, calling in a high-flyin' C-130 to drop a 10 ton package of HE on them ... BOOM, and there you have it, a multi-helicopter landing pad in the middle of a dense rain forest. Anyway, as you seem to describe them, Internet trigger daisy-chain IEDs are yet just the "next generation" of more interactive, offensive landmines as they have evolved from far the jungles of SE Asia and are more circumstantially adapted to the urban battlefields and highway gauntlets of Iraq. Even at that, I'm still amazed at how little has changed from those IRA days of urban guerilla warfare in Paddyland. it all just remains variations on an ancient theme ... that theme being the multi-millennial conundrum of how to kill your (sometimes racially diverse) resources competitor. Of course, you think the life expectancy of a platoon sergeant is short now? Just wait until some damned and condemned American Campaign force tries bullying its way through the mountainous terrain of Iran. If you really want to make money in the near future, then you've gotta' buy stock in companies that make body-bags. You'll make a killing. References: FAC forward air control FAMDHS: Frankfurt-American Military Dependent High School HE: high explosive This Congresscritter fails to include the detail that LINCOLN was dealing with a war THAT WAS ACTUALLY DECLARED. Also, the quote (that was never uttered by Lincoln) was referring to some "men" who were endorsing NOT legitimate opposition to the Civil War (of which I personally believe was a totally unnecessary conflict) but instead were fomenting the CRIMINAL CONDUCT of military desertion. So, what is this 'critter's response to LEGITIMATE debate about an ILLEGAL military conflict? Does he say, "Let's deal with them as the law allows?" HELL NO! Instead, he's decided to go all KKK on us and declare that "we" must LYNCH all Constitutionally LEGAL conduct against the Bush junta's ILLEGAL "war." Yup, by urging the general public to go out and "hang by the neck 'till dead" any opponent of fascism who even just dares to speak out, this Congressional turd himself just became (by legal interpretation of the Constitutionally forbidden P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act) a terrorist suspect! I wonder how much he'll squeal when the noose gets slung around his neck ~ Yeah, America -- Land of the Free ... my ass. Making debts vanish

My ego is small, but my message is important and that's what counts. We are all part of the machine, each little cog just as important as the next. After a few hours pass Jesus stands up and says, ''It's getting late and I've many places to go, will see you again soon.'' Jesus walks over to personally say good night to each one of his new friends and as he does he notices one gentleman, and says to him, ''I see you have a limp, are you hurt?" The man answers ''It's and old injury from the war.'' Jesus touches him and says ''You're fine now.'' The next gentleman gets up to shake Jesus's hand, and when Jesus notices that he is blind he says to the man, ''Have you always been blind or was it an accident?'' The man replies ''I was born this way'.' Jesus touches him and says, ''You now can see, my son, you're not blind any more.'' As Jesus walks over to shake the hand of the third gentleman before he can touch him the mans yells out to him. "No! Please don't touch me, I'm on disability!'' Kathy

Ghosts all over the place
Speaking of ghosts, Leon may already know this, but I think there were some other ghosts as well. Ole Johnson must have had several daunting his ass till he checked out. One I am certain of was for his fellow partner JFK. Did I say partner, oh I forgot, Johnson couldn't wait till Jack got his brains blown out of his head. Pictures don't lie. I filed that original UPI photo that recently auctioned on eBay [almost bought it but there were some better I got] showing lbj being sworn in as the new acting commander in chief after the assassination aboard airforce 1. Got to hand it to lbj and his wife, they both wearing those broad smiles texans are so famous for don't you know, while jackie is standing there in shock blown away having just seen her husband's brains explode out of his head in front of her... Yep, them texans are quite a congenial bunch huh? And To think we got old georgy boy in there now giving us some more texan hospitality... Yep, I .have been doing some communicating with JFK, on the other side, just recently working with some research and ole Jack wasn't real happy about not being able to write HIS STORY, well I think he prefers to leave out the part about marilyn monroe, that had to turn into a very ugly situation... Anyway... the point being... ALL of us need to be real careful and get our stories out now, the truth, while we can...less they halt freedom of speech real soon... the enemy knows winners always get to tell their lies about history... and man ole man isn't our history books just full of 'em...

They also said that that they believed that Osama bin Laden has been hiding in Pakistan. By reference meaning he is being supported there.

When Americans realize they are responsible for their own behavior, the war machine will go bankrupt. People will stop eating meat, driving oversized cars, live in oversized homes and oversized appliances. We can have small families, and adopt child from poor nations. It is easy to support human rights in poor countries. Africa possesses commodities, such as diamonds, petroleum and gold. We can exchange commodities for food, and everyone benefits. Daniel B.

Internet trigger daisy-chain IEDs
Ok Dan D. Now that I know where you are coming from, you and I can venture into a whole different level of conversation. Ruck-up, and lace your LPC’s. We’re goin’ to do some lay-backin’. IR Triggers aside, (just wanted to gauge you-and you passed) Let’s talk about internet trigger daisy-chain IEDs. As you know, IR triggers are old, it is better and less traceable to rig explosives using cell phones networked to the internet. It is not that technically difficult, but you do have to know what you are doing to set up the network, and key the devices (cellphone triggers) Such a network gives almost unlimited reach to the “network administrator”, and literally many multiples of explosive packages could be established anywhere in the world where wireless internet capabilities are established. I could be sitting on a beach in Trinidad, drinking rum and setting off a bomb(s) set in England using a laptop. Have you read of the use of such daisy-chain devices in Iraq ? Grow up, Herbert

Doubting Ms Rice?
Is the way of "working through it" letting the Israelis destroy Lebanon, kill hundreds of women and children, make hundreds of thousands homeless, and then say "it is not yet time for a cease fire"? If the Israelis hadn't killed those 28 children, that war would still be going on. Or is the way of "working through it" ignoring warnings about 9/11, rooting for a war and deaths of thousands with absolutely no basis, is it by lying, by always warning, threatening, blatantly wanting to overthrow a democratically elected government she doesn't agree with (or understand)? Oh no.... I think she is a really incompetent, ignorant (PhD and all) and very stupid woman who is way over her head, who has no clue about diplomacy, and no understanding of people who live in other places, who probably got every job she had BECAUSE she was black and not in spite of it, and a woman who has discredited the credibility of the United States in a way that will not be repaired in our lifetimes. And I would consider that little story as a piece created by some strategist, and not something that actually happened to her. E13

And Chrysler is laying off 13,000 employees... It is so depressing. When we were helping other countries rebuild their infrastructure after WW2, our corps were just taking profits and letting the heavy industry plants rust away. Planning for obsolescence, and then globalization with cheap labor. Carrying coals to Newcastle, I believe... Siskiyousis
Not laughing at Jon Stewart
And then I turned on the computer to look at the mail and for some reason I also plugged in the Daily Kos to see what they had to say. Listening to one, and reading the other, it struck me that the masses are being entertained by all the fucking horror that is going on. The Kos was trying to wake up people to the fucking disaster that is happening to the country, asking them in their own way to get their brains in order, stop putting these fucking mass murderers, liars, thieves, in office. And this jerkoff of the airwaves is making millions doing skits, and jokes, and in his own way taking the gravity of the situation away from the viewers' minds. When election time comes around again, how many of these viewers will even bother to get off their fat asses and vote, and of those, how many will actually know what they are voting for? Maybe the majority of this country are just a bunch of fucking sheep? If Stewart were as radical as he purports to be he would start interviewing other political parties more often and when he did, give them enough air time to explain themselves, as he did for Ralph Nader when he had him on. It's about the only air time these people can get. I didn't mention Stephen Colbert's show because he is fucking worse. He likes to downgrade the other candidates to the point that they become non-entities and their views suffer in the public mind. Marvin A.
