For your way of life

Iraq is just where they want it to be, supine, broken, occupied. And that is the way it will remain, for decades, even under the mainstream Democrats (the top three have all said there will be troops there when their first administration is done in 2013). Who likes it like that? For once the Ayn Rand-idoloter Alan Greenspan spoke the truth when he said it (DUH!) was all about the oil. The untold amounts of oil under those three old Ottoman provinces. Jim Holt lays it all out for all you drivers. Hell, it's your war.

Biophobia

Have you met nanosilver yet? They’re putting it into clothes, washing machines, and other things to KILL KILL KILL. All bacteria must die! The trouble of course is that bacteria is also good for you. You couldn’t digest food if not for the symbiotic bacteria in your gut. The bacteria in your mouth protects your teeth and fights off cooties. The bacteria crawling all over you skin right now acts as a frontline against the bad germs. We’re not actually alone on this planet, you know. Our bodies are complex systems made up of other lifeforms. Indeed, the very mitochondria powering our cells seems to have joined us long long ago, merging together with other cells. We've been chimeras for ever.

Washing machines? All these years not realizing how deadly our clothes are. What bullshit. Another manufactured necessity from the forces of biophobia, the killers of life.

62,000 or so manufactured chemicals in our environment, and we have no idea what most of them do, except collect in our bodies.

The Jungle Redux

They fill their so-called "food" with shit, blood, and gore and then blame us for not cooking it fully? They've turned grass-eaters into grain eaters, resulting in animals that are essentially always sick, necessitating huge doses of antibiotics, and crowd them together so that they can share their diseases. They feed vegetarians with ground up animal parts and wonder where weird prions come from to rot out human brains. Take pig farms, for instance: surrounded by lakes of pigshit, they can't be entered unless you wear a biohazard suit.

Stop buying this perverse filth.

We understand that the capo of Blackwater is an "evangelical Christian" heavyweight. Pray tell, on what planet is this war profiteer, who needs the Iraq diasaster to continue for the good of his business, any kind of follower of Christ?

Well, duh. They moved to Jena... This column by Gary Younge puts it perfectly.

I dread going to see Banished, about the racial cleansing of towns in George, Missouri, and Arkansas, just a few of the cases. Pogroms and cleansing actions, can't happen here? Already has, my friends. We know Jim Crow and American apartheid warped everyone involved, so that those poodle-skirted 50s white girls howling for blood in Little Rock (nice old grannies now, some of them?) were victims, too, but try as I might I can’t whip up any sympathy up for all that psychopathic hate. You know, don’t you, about the Hershel Gordon Lewis film, Two Thousand Maniacs? Car load of northerners gets waylaid by a village of down South. Sub-Corman, and yet virtually a documentary. I mean, these were people who picnicked while hanging, castrating, and burning their fellow human beings.

And speaking of the unredeemable, there will always be soldiers, won’t there, and cops, and Blackwater goons to enforce their master’s filthy will? Burma’s foots soldiers, many probably just peasant boys, are doing their masters bidding to destroy the will of their own people. So it ever is. Boys made into tools. Kent State. Jackson State. Newark. The state’s tools will gun you down when you get ahead of them.

India and Japan are both big investors in the Burmese generals (Pol Pot-like fantasists, the've created their own capital city deep in the jungle); they at least are democracies, susceptible to internal pressure. China, of course isn’t. Haven’t you boycotted Chinese stuff yet? For Darfur, for Burma, for poor Tibet? It’s no hardship, stopping the purchasing of that shit. It can’t make you happy; in case you haven’t noticed, the voracious machine of consumption doesn’t want you happy, because you might stop buying if you were happy, because you must keep buying to attain happiness, which is precisely the point because the shit isn’t happiness.

Where did they go?

50 years since Ike sent in the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to enforce the federal courts. Where today are all hate-filled people in the background of the pictures, the ones screaming, spitting, hurling garbage? Whatever happened to all those psychotic white people?
