Spin Dry

I've been quiet here for the last few months because I finally got to the point where I figued the American public was detecting the bullshit, and figured that some Real Life activism was better placed. Joe Lieberman getting his ass handed to him last Tuesday was a good sign. People were waking up to the crap, taking matters into their own hands, and kicking out the pro-war dipshits in power.

And then, OMFG LOOK TERRORISTS WITH SPORTS DRINKS!!!

I watched as the story broke at about 2:30 a.m. LA time on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Yeah, kind of interesting that they did the "News Break" thing during the late late night rerun of the Tonight Show. And then watched the news all day Thursday as it was the only story: EVIL ARABS WANT TO STICK DISPOSABLE CAMERAS INTO GATORADE BOTTLES AND BLOW UP TOURISTS.

And the only thing I could think was, "Oh, bullshit."

First off, if there was such a big terrorist sting in the wee hours of Wednesday, where were the arrestees? The UK claimed to have nabbed 21 people, but there was nary a hint of their names or identities until late Friday. Second, if they'd been tracking this plot for weeks, why were all "gels and liquids" not banned until after the story broke? Why were regular people not inconvenienced beforehand, I mean, well, if the evidence was so strong?

Third... Bojinka. While it's been a pleasant surprise that this plot from 1995 has actually been mentioned in the MSM, I'm also disappointed that they haven't latched onto the obvious. One, it was a pipe dream idea that was never carried out. Two, it's almost a schematic for the alleged plot that was going to be carried out right about now.

And has anyone in the MSM actually analyzed what Acetone Peroxide can do in volumes of less than half a liter? Or how detectable such substances must be, given that Acetone is a pretty stinky substance? Not to mention that Acetone Peroxide is very susceptible to shock; or, in other words, when your TSA screener takes your sports bottle away and tosses it into the bin, that action alone would set off a supposedly plane-crashing explosion right in the airport.

Have any airports been blown up in the last couple of days? No.

Anyway... this whole thing just comes across to me as a steaming pile of bullshit, designed to shut up the sheeple, make people VERY AFRAID again over nothing, and to negate the simple message of Tuesday's primaries. Mainly, George W. Bush is toast, and anyone who associates with him is committing political suicide.

And if you buy into this latest Booga Booga, you're an idiot. Instead of worrying about sports drinks in airports, you should be worrying about (American) Bunker Busters being launched from Israel in order to kill women and children in Lebanon. You should be worried that a few religious fanatics in the middle east -- Muslims and Jews alike -- are so fucking bone-headed that they can't figure out how to live together, and want to drag the entire world down with them into their pissing contest over one sacred site that should belong to no one, yet is claimed by everyone. And you should be very, very worried that your president has his head so far up Christian Fundamentalists' asses that he has not a clue about how to fix things.

Here's a simple solution. 1) Palestine, like Israel, is a country. Go read our fucking bible, figure out where the Phillistines/Palestinians lived, and put their borders there; 2) The Holocaust was an awful thing, but (just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki) has no bearing on current history in terms of the responsibility of current leaders; Jews who feel wronged -- if you or your parents were alive in Germany or Poland in the 30s and 40s, fine. You deserve reparations, from Germany. Otherwise, shut the fuck up. You're no more special than anyone else -- the Irish who've been screwed by Britain since Cromwell; the Koreans and Chinese mistreated by the Japanese; the Japanese mistreated by Americans; the Africans fucked over by the Boers. Hey, y'know what kids? Ethnic/Cultural cleansing is nothing new, and "The Holocaust" is not the trump card in this game. You're not allowed to play it, because you're not special. "Shoah" as an excuse is crap. Want to talk numbers? Stalin trumped Hitler, ten-fold. Where are your "never again" rants when it comes to the people that Stalin purged?

And, anyway, rational Americans should look at the (Biblical) idea of Israel -- or the (Q'uranic) idea of Muslimland -- and just laugh. You're all fucking nuts. Jerusalem is no more important than Cincinatti...or Cleveland or Wilkes-Barre.

Or, in shorter words understanable to the morans who still support George W: the War on Terror is crap. The idea of some great battle of Jews vs. Muslims vs. Christians is crap.

And the myth that the UK conveniently found 21 (as of yet) unidentified terrorists willing to blow up themselves and their shampoo bottles in a scheme that's just a repeat of Bojinka, only half-assed -- is the biggest booga-booga on the planet.

Who are the real terrorists? The assholes in power. And it's time for a true revolution.

To quote what is, apparently, the most seditious document on the planet: When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

It's called the Declaration of Independence, kids -- and it, along with the Constitution is the only document that matters in this country...

Documents that the farktards in power have pissed on, violating their oathes of office. The only options we should accept, as true Americans, are impeachment or hanging. Or both.

Enough of this shit. Paging Robspierre... we need you now. And you know what I mean.
