My captors let me get a mohawk haircut. They got a big kick out of it. I think they are warming up to me. The Syrians are here too. They supplied the bleach to dye my hair. All they do is armwrestle with the turks, and the Iraqi's won't shut up about what a buch of pussies the turks are for not detroying the Kurds. Meanwhile some Iranians have been prank phone-calling us pretending to be the US millitary. They're such assholes.
To the People of Iraq: Give up already! Welcome the U.S. as your liberators! Realize that Americans and Iraqis are now intimately intertwined, like brothers and sisters.
To Saddam's Loyalists: You are going to die if you continue to fight. Surrender now.
Syria, Turkey, and Iran know better than to make trouble. If they do, we are coming after them next.
"There will never be peace so long as there's terror." President Bush.

I like Star Wars way too much. Here is the pattern I am seeing/hearing. George W. Bush is Luke Skywalker. George H.W. Bush is Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Daddy Bush had been working long and hard behind the scenes in the American Empire, such as during his time as head of the CIA. The Emporer could be Prince Charles or the Queen of England, Sith Lords.
Now Dubya himself is still wrestling with both sides of the Force, and he probably thinks he is doing what is right. And through the machinations long in the works by his father, The Bush family will bring balance to the force.
In the Star Wars prequels, Yoda and Mace Windu both are aware that Anakin will be the one "to bring the Force into balance."
From Star Wars: The Force, the Tao and the Butterfly by Paul McDonald:
"Lucas himself admitted that Anakin is indeed the prophesied one, and he does bring balance to the Force when he saves Luke and destroys the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. But in chaos theory, one has to be fully immersed in the system in order to bring about a substantial change to it, meaning Anakin had to be turned to the dark side to transform it from within.
Chaos scholars often speak of "emergence," which is a form of turbulence, or a new pattern, coming forth from the edge of chaos. It exponentially resonates throughout the entire system, a third entity born of two opposing ones. Likewise in The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon speaks of a "vergence in the Force," clearly a parallel to the phenomenon discussed here. It was this "vergence" that brought about Anakin Skywalker.
In perfect congruence with the machinations of the Empire, in the end, Anakin acted as the sage and the amplification of his redemption offset the tyranny of the Emperor as well as destroyed the thousand year cycle of abuse of the Sith. Standing at the center, he became the butterfly, his actions guiding the progression of the entire galaxy. He did not simply turn from the dark side to the light, but rather transcended the dual reality of the Force altogether."
As I mentioned before, G. W. is a place-holder. In mathematics, a place-holder is used to hold the energy of a place while solutions are computed around it. And it is our reactions as humans to the problems Bush, Inc is creating that will determine the future of humanity.
"Anakin is almost like an upcoming brushfire for the Jedi Counci. The Council has become rather complacent and decadent, and thus lost its true intention as the guardians of truth and justice throughout the known galaxy.
Vader becomes a necessary evil, comparable to the brushfire that brings on rapid new growth in the wilderness."

WAR Dreams
It was night, on the eve of an invasion in a dream version of Springfield. Most of us were civilians, outside in the empty streets looking for abandon schools or libraries to hide out in. We broke into an dark and quiet school, that looked like a cross betwwen Spiringfield High and a State building. We thought we would be safe in there. It turned out, there were already hundreds of other people inside, scrambling around, running around the mazelike corridors looking for a safe place to stay. The halls were busy with traffic. As I walked by a classroom or janitor's room of some sort I saw some security guard types readying there batons and uniforms for a fight. I only got a glimpse. I noticed another girl wandering around, and I followed here for a little bit down into the mazelike train-station that is underneath the buildings in so many of my dreams. THen I went on my own way.

Nations and states are so puny and obsolete, here on this magnetically resonating node; but it is still fun to talk about them as a downtime nostalgic distraction.
"The future of government lies in the area of psychic ecology and can no longer be considered on a merely national or international basis."

"We even told you about the man who's your president [January, 2003]. We called him a "place-holder." This was not a criticism or a demeaning term. It's simply a definition of energy. It's one who holds energy while something else happens. In mathematics, a place-holder is used to hold the energy of a place while solutions are computed around it. It allows the columns to line up and the dots to be connected. It's a metaphor, isn't it? And that's what we told you about the man who's your president.
So what kind of a place is he holding? you might ask. Here is information you didn't expect. There are things around you, not in this country [USA], which need to be shifted and changed. There are those who need to move around so that the earth can be more even in its consciousness. And this is the man who's facilitating it. You may not like it, but it's what you planned. This place-holder is a catalyst for change."

You know what else? I don't fear terrorism. It ain't going to happen here. And if it did, I either die or you don't.
But the thing is, this is a replay of the atomic bomb scare of the 50's. It didn't happen then, it ain't going to happen now. No single human or group of humans really wants destroy thousands of lives. Terrorism is about controlling people, not killing them.

I just realized, the Bush administration is a mixture of Fascism, Anarchism, Corporate Socialism, and a bit of Capitalism. Bushies as Anarchists is what surprises me. Think about it. They are destroying the old national defense paradigms with the pre-emptive strike strategy, and they are removing the facade of the United Nations' credibility and international law.
Man, I love my country. What we do here in America sends ripples of change throughout the world. What an exciting time to be alive!

Even Richard "The Prince of Darkness" Perle had positive effects on the Global Theatre. We can talk about the services or diservices of any president, politican, policy-maker, news anchor, or comedian. Even Bush, as much as people hate him and this war, is acheiving great things, as well as horrible things. Maybe that is what makes a great President. I bow to you in respect, Mr. President, you Satanic Fuck.
It took me awhile, but I really love these reality TV shows. Not so much to watch them, but to interpret what part of the American psyche they are reflecting. They are getting crazier and more preposterous, and FOX can't sign 'em up fast enough.

Tater and I are doing ideological love-making. We are spinning around each other, circling. Without the right, the left would be nothing, and vice versa.
That is why I always try to emphisize the (w)hole.
We can debate left-right till we are blue, but the mixed-corporate emphasizes that thoroughly enough. One thing they never talk about is the top-bottom. Our universe is spherical, rather than a flat plane.
Interesting thing about the media, is that it is not introspective. Television cannot turn in on itself. It is a broadcasting medium. It is electrifying. It is an outward projecting force. Another interesting thing, is that it turns humans inward AND outward. Inward by feeding them linguistic content and outward by extending their nervous system outside of their bodies.
(Marshall McLuhan would be proud of me.)

I could do two things here: point out the insightful patterns that you, Tater, are seeing at play here, or I could point out your logical inconsistencies.
I'll start by reflecting back to you patterns that resonate with my own.
The only thing that was vowed on September 11th was a promise to accelerate the global agenda, and to use the event as an excuse. We could have chosen to rise above the level of terrorists, instead, we became them. But understand that most people still go about there daily lives, but with their thoughts and feelings support their tribal leader, which is on the iconic media level our president.
This is a fight between religious fundamentalists as well, with most people relegated to living normal lives instead of fighting. Hard-right Christian fundamentalists and hard-Right wing Zionists vs. radical fundamental Islamics.
Buddhists have no stake in this fight.

I said, "What's up" to my boss, Shari, and she replied, "There is a war on." Then she asked me about the draft. I would go over to Iraq. I'm not worried about my physical safety. Either you die or I don't. There is some planet-changing shifts going on over there in the birthplace of humanity, and it would be great to be a part of it.
But we can be a part of it here, on the Wily Beaver. All 6 billion souls here on Earth are resonating inside the same magnetic node.

Does anybody watch the Dave Chapelle show? He is one of the funniest guys on TV. But he does a lot of jokes about black culture, and how its response to oppression and media silence is to be ridiculous and ignorant, then sell it back.
He'll tell you why there are no mexican or black War correspondants; because though they are fighting on the front lines of the war, they know better than to think that this is not just Whitey's War. It wasn't a brown person behind September 11th, or the Kennady Assasination, it was an old white dude.

When I hear guys like Ray Lytle of WQLZ talking pro-war on the radio, I know he is just trying to keep his job. It takes courage to stand up against the propaganda and information environment. Anybody who defends the war is just defending their job, whether they work at a newspaper, a TV newscenter, a state job, or McDonalds.
Their defending their concept of themselves as reflected at them by the mixed-corporate media.

The main problem is people don't understand who ordered 911. And with the massive ongoing cover-up, it will be awhile until people get it. It was a global operation, spanning multiple nations, with the scapegoats carefully selected and brainwashed with religious fundamentalism to carry out a tryannical mission. A mission that, gee whiz, corresponded exactly with the chief goals of an oddly-elected president. A President intimate with multinational oil and energy companies.
It was a one time deal. The globalists are losing control in this post-information age. Conspiracies are obsolete. That means that they work.
CNN, the NYTimes, and the Opinion Journal won't talk about that.

Shock and Awe
"The US army said it gave the main Iraqi oil well firefighting contract to a unit of Halliburton Co., a firm once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, without any bidding."
Looks like this turf war is going along as planned years ago by the military-industrial complex (Chiefly Richard Perle, who resigned today.). Now the first contracts are being given out by the Bush junta to their powerful business friends.
To say this is about liberating the Iraqi people is naive. It is a land grab by the US and British Petroleum companies. Naturally the French, German, Chinese and Russian governments would be upset. They want a piece of the pie too.

who is tater salad? Man, I should check this blog more often. Matt... enjoy your bike ride... which by my calculations should be starting right about NOW! I rode 14.7 miles yesterday. It was beautiful. Have a wonderful night beavers... i'll be working. And then out for the tail end of Chandi's birthday. Welcome to 27! It's fantastic. I've been 27 for exactly 2 weeks now and I've got no complaints thus far.
Brian, Jenny Jones is only looking out for your best interests... don't punch her in the face.
Does anybody know how to treat minor burns on the tips of my fingers? I burned myself on the baby George today and i can't get a hold of my mom to ask her professional opinion.

Clarification on Steve and Buzzflash. He just helped program it, though he may or may not approve of all the crap they spew. If Matt Drudge or any other news service offered that cool embedded website feature, I would use that too. Let me know if you know of any, should they exist.

I put a couple of Lesko's links up. It is true, "www.OpinionJournal.com and www.NationalReview.com would be appropriate and enlightening to real world events" if you know how to read between all the slant. Same can be said for the NY Times. I only read newspapers to keep track of the Official Rewritten and Censored History of events given to us by the Oil-soaked Monopoly Press.

"Cheese-eating Surrender Monkeys"
- Ed Helms referring to a derogatory term for the French on The Daily Show.
Welcome Tater. My friend Steve Odom helped create Buzzflash while he was working here in town at LRS (Before he joined the Peace Core and was sent to Bolivia). He is what is known as straight-edge; he doesn't drink or do drugs and is inclined towards the teachings of Jesus.
So be careful with your rapid right-wing foaming, because this isn't FOX news, and we can call you on your misinformation.
That said, we lie and foam here every day, so by all means have your say!

I like the story about the National Guardsman changing his name to Optimus Prime. You know, Chino is really into collecting transformers. He buys 'em off eBay every month he gets his check. He has a whole closet full. And now my nephew Khalil has started his own collection, and his closet is already full of the little murdering robots.
Actually what I meant to say is I played an unjust game at checkers and cheated every time. My captors on the other hand are brilliant checker players. I am at shock and awe of their superiour checker stragedy. I don't think the United States will ever win a game of checkers against these Iraqi people.
I often ask, "Why is pornography such a popular industry?" Does it have to do with a counter-balancing force reacting against our American Puritan sensiblities? I look at those Fit Club Billboards with the ladies in their bikini's and I just wanna see their nipples. Now why is that my reaction? Nipples have no value to me, other than to remind me of the sex I am not getting. I am a visually oriented American male, and somehow I have been trained, like Pavlov's dog, to react to certain images of women.
It is what is hidden which is what I focus on (This is a common theme in much of my writings and thoughts.).
In France they show bare boobies, and it is no big deal. But here, it is the forbidden fruit.
In Japan, which is a much more strict and repressed society, their pornagraphic tastes would seem extremely fetishized. This is that repression acting out; the deeper the repression, the more extreme ways the sex act gets acted out in those expensive hotel rooms.
But what about the pornagraphy industry in the Arab or Hindu world? This is not an area I have studied. I seen a lot of porn made in Hungary, where the girls are just stunning. I know porn is a worldwide phenomenon. The argument could even be made that porn is mainly responsible for the popularity of the VCR, the freeze-frame pause button, and the quick expansion of the Internet. So how does porn affect different cultures, how pervasive is it, and what is the need being fullfilled with it?

Those stick-in-the-mud conservatives are really sharpening their sense of humor making fun of the French. In today's Letter to the Editor column, this gentleman was critizing Chris Britt's cartoon depicting Bush as a Nazi. He thought that was inappropriate in a time of war. Then he proceded to make Frenchy jokes. Saying Britt would be better off in France watching Jerry Lewis movies. He also made the suggestion that from now on he be known as Le'Britt.
Did you hear about the Google page created by a 22-year-old Toronto student that brings up a page that asks: "Did you mean 'french military defeats.'" when you type in "French military victories"?

Matt B., send me your address and I'll have amazon.com ship you a copy of Aphex Twin's new CD. I heard a snippet of the David Bowie 'Heroes' remix and was thoroughly amazed. That guy IS a genious.
People who don't like rap or electronica don't like it because they don't understand it and don't even try to. There are some spectacular sights, sounds, tastes, touches and smells going on in hip-hop. It is sad to me that so many people confuse the content that they are exposed to with the form itself.

I had a weird dream the other night. This guy I was in a converstion with was implying that European men, though they act all tough and macho, as soon as they get alone together like to fuck each other. Then the guy got down on all fours and mimicked getting it up the ass.
I thought it was funny.
Monica is a Pisces, which according to Yahoo Astrology, are a deep, receptive, and secretive lot. "Pisces knows all and sees all but probably won't tell' all. The Fishes keep the secrets of the universe within and to themselves. "
Monica, give up them Universal secrets, girl. Do tell.
And I have also discovered, that not only am I a Fire Sun sign, filled with fiery vigor, but so is old Eric the Leo and Mike the Ram. I would have thought Mike was Air, cause his head is always in the clouds of his ivory POW tower.

I hope nobody gets killed. Especially you Mike. My sister in law is on alert and has her bags packed and ready to go. They only have to give her 24 hours notice at this point. GeeZ. Feel the tension in that family. On a happier note, Happy Birthday today to my dad. He is 59! I'll tell him that you all wish him well. Matt.... Tuesday is off.. I read my schedule wrong and i close that day. When i go in tomorrow (monday) i'll figure out my schedule and what is going on and give you a call. Happy evening to all of my beaver friends. May you all have pleasant dreams.
Being an American Pow makes me wonder.
Who won best film at the Oscors?
I also have been going over something over and over in my head. It's a song lyric by Evan Dando. "I don't need you to suck my dick to make me feel good about myself." I used to laugh about that. I thought it was true. I wonder if that's true to me now.
I don't know about God anymore. Who's side is he on anyway? All I know it that Allah has not called out to me in the middle of the night to change me, and make me right. I wonder if there's two Gods, and which God gets you when you die as a pow in the Iraqi army.

Do you think history will look back on the Iraq War as a significant event? I do. For all the positive and negative effects it will have, this is a historic event, in a historic time.
Will this be the final war for a weakening global power? To call it a war makes it sound like military powers of remotely equal size are battling. That is not the case.
It certainly is a turf war. The American Empire battling the European Empire for economic resources.
What about this Christian Fundamentalist U.S. Administration, the likes with have never been seen in the US Presidency, allied with hard-line Isreali lobby? They are running this dog-and-pony show. And they certainly believe God is on their side. Maybe this is a divine act.

A mighty lesson we inherit:
Thou art a symbol and a sign
To Mortals of their fate and force;
Like thee, Man is in part divine,
A troubled stream from a pure source;
And Man in portions can foresee
His own funereal destiny;
His wretchedness, and his resistance,
And his sad unallied existence:
To which his Spirit may oppose
Itself--and equal to all woes
excerpt from Prometheus, George Gordon Lord Byron (1788-1824)
