1 Look out for Patrick Duffy on the way home.

2 He's coming right for us!

3 Watch out for Wackos! Improbulus - you are one sick-minded young man who needs to see a shrink. Carlos- you're too damned mellow, maybe you should counsel the nuts into reality. Thanos35 - you wear a green mask and dance the conga dance. OsamaBinX - you and me should go hunting for wasp nests. Improbulus' dog - you drag pig guts back from the abbatoir. Greg - you buddies with wildman Justin Raimondo? BUSH LIES - you little maggot punk, desert-dwelling poser, slapped with the ban that never ends!

4 I love South Park. I didn't know you were a fan too.

5 I am not sure if I should be glad or upset that I didn't make DSM's list. Get well soon Rusty.

6 Get well soon.

7 Yea, Rusty. Pink eye - now this? Defense Guy: I feel so left out, too.

8 Looks like the plane made it.

9 DSM, in an analytical mood, pontificated thusly: "Improbulus - you are one sick-minded young man who needs to see a shrink." I saw a shrink once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Would you like to see my basement? "Carlos- you're too damned mellow, maybe you should counsel the nuts into reality." He just needs some anger-enhancement therapy. "Thanos35 - you wear a green mask and dance the conga dance." Yes, but he dances naked while waving a pair of machetes around. "OsamaBinX - you and me should go hunting for wasp nests." I think you're in one. "Improbulus' dog - you drag pig guts back from the abbatoir." There are no pigs in my abbatoir, only liberals. Oh, wait I get it, you were alluding to them... clever. "Greg - you buddies with wildman Justin Raimondo?" Greg can neither confirm nor deny knowledge of such a person. (The Jooooooooos are listening. They're always listening.) "BUSH LIES - you little maggot punk, desert-dwelling poser, slapped with the ban that never ends!" Amen.

10 DSM, I've been known to throw rocks into hornets nests....

11 You need to try the Feisty Cure for What Ails You (TM) yet...but you should. You'll at least forget your troubles and your worries for two or three minutes. Hee hee. Get well.

12 Rusty, everyone knows a good laugh cures almost anything: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/tomkills.html Tom Cruise killing Oprah, sith style!

13 Re: Tom kills Oprah. It's a lovely fantasy, but then he would absorb her powers and become unstoppable, like in "Highlander". Then again, he lacks the ability to make people turn off their minds, and I don't think he could absorb that from her, it seems innate.

14 That's bad, but it's not Gary Johnston puke bad. That's good to hear.

15 DSM, I do enjoy reading Justin Raimondos articles on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Im in Italy. What a strange keyboard, I cant find the apostrophe.

1 I'm still wondering why Novak is running free and the press is getting fucked.

2 It's about time. Looks like the MSM's smear of America will cost some one some time. Good!

3 Sorry for the OT post but this is important. A fine young patriot named Rusten Currie wants to run against Maxine Waters in the upcoming election. As I said, this is important. Waters is one of the best friends terrorists could have, and must be dealt with, and Rusten's the man for the job. Did I mention he's an OIF vet? Yeah, a real-life hero against a real-life traitor. It should be a fun campaign. Anyway, go, NOW!, and offer your support here: http://currierd.typepad.com/currie_for_congress/

4 Rod: You know, this is a double edged sword. Keeping sources confidential gives any reporter carte blanc to just make stuff up. We've seen what happened with NYT reporter Jayson Blair and how Dan Rather ran amok and now the fellow who "retyped" the alleged Downing Street memo. But, at the same time I understand that to be forced to reveal sources will dry up those sources. No one will come forward with what might be much needed information. So I have to say that I side with the reporters. We'll just have to use better investigative techniques than they do if we suspect any tom foolery.

5 They don't want to give up the good because it either names a lib as the leaker or, since in the beltway apparently everyone knew she was a spook, the "journalists" outed her.

6 Send Novak down to Aruba. Maybe a local Dutchman will slip him a roofie, ass rape him and then feed his bloated, pastie white body to the local crabs.

7 Dayam, OB! Agreed though. Osama made a good point. Why is Novak skating if they're so insistent on punishing a crime? See, Osama? I'm not so unreasonable. Kiss, kiss.

8 Hahaha....*sticks ass in Oyster's face* Keep kissin'... Yeah, it does seem rather absurd that he's just chillin'. Those reporters aren't innocent either, but at least they have more of a right to expose/report the truth. I know...they don't do it that often, do they? I wish there was a value system in place to force the press to reveal sources and stick to fact. The same goes for politicians. I know Carlos, but let me dream away...

9 I'm gonna let that one slide, Osama, because it was much too juvenile to take seriously. Allow me to make peace without you getting snide. Show your benevolent side. I know you have it in you. You and I don't disagree on all that much.

10 oyster:You and I don't disagree on all that much. Osama, I told Collin he needs to have a serious talk with you. Youve managed to ingratiate yourself with the neocons. WTF?

11 Oyster: Ok, you're right. I do have a very nasty sense of humor. Don't let it get to you because we all need to laugh more and not be offended so easily. Greg: Since my cell was activated, I was assigned to integrate into this blog and attack from within while making butt-loads of cash collecting email addresses to spam & scam. Yeah, right.

12 Also, been hearing that Rove is going to be confirmed as the main leaker...should be interesting to see what happens since Bush supposedly vowed to punish anyone in his administration if they were leaking classified info.

1 Howie--Agreed. It's hard enough to have decent thoughts these days without television. (That's why we don't have it in YBP's casa.

2 Got a chigger on my trigger and I cain't get it off. There's another on my brother and a dozen on my cousin.

3 YBP.. Yea I only do over the air TV. But since the rotor broke. I've tried to fix it but all I can do while 50 feet off the ground is hold on. Work at that point is out of the question. So I get the two stations that the blasted thing was pointed at when it quit. Fox & PBS. I'm about 6 months from paying the whole place off and then I'll fix all kind of stuff. Except I still won't pay some cable of dish service to watch commercials. If the sponsor can't cover the cost in my opinion the business plan sucks for the customer. Plus I get my Andy every Sunday night at 10:00.

4 Hope I don't collapse from the deet or the heet.

5 YBP: Is your mailbox full again? Get rid of that huge huge file I sent you the other day. Sorry one more time.

1 Come on now. This is a sure sign that we're winning the war. The media is in a feeding frenzy over the disappearance in Aruba (gee, can I get media credentials to go cover that story?!), sharks are attacking people (can you hear the theme from Jaws playing in the background? I knew you could), and no one is paying attention to the real problems of the day. Exactly like what was ongoing on 9/10/01 (Chandra Levy, shark attacks, and blissful ignorance of militant Islam).

2 Some Bim from Bama gets herself pissy drunk and poked in the Whiskers by an uppity dutchman and it is 24/7 news. If she wasn't white with trashy make-up and reasonable boobies, we would never had heard of her. She is probably crab meat now anyway.

3 Filthy, you have surpassed yourself with a lack of taste today.

4 Funny, her so called "friends" let her go off with this Dutchman and too dusky fellows and non go after her or offer to go with? What the F kind of friends are they then what?? All those so called pals of Natalie crying their crocodile tears for the friend they would not even bother stopping from leaving with native goofballs. She is dead. She is crabmeat as Filthy Says. Get over it.

5 Good Point Snooks! First off, any friend worth her salt should have and would have cockblocked the dutchman right off the bat faster than you can say Roofie. A real friend would have prevented Natalie Crabmeat from going with those dusky brutes let alone, a dirty dutchman. Friends my ass.

6 I completely understand your point, Rusty, but (you knew there was a "but" coming, didn't you?) I get berated all the time by people who think I should have posted about something else when I post just about anything at all. As if I can't display concern for more than one thing at a time. Your posts mostly constitute events on the war or exposing terrorism in all its guises. This is the task you have selected to take on. Others have different priorities at different times. I keep coming back here to get information and read links for exactly the reason you have taken on this task. That's what makes the blogosphere so great. Each person has a different idea of what's important at that moment. However, you, as an individual, probably sleep well at night knowing you are doing your part in countering the crap that passes as news for others. That's your "crusade", for lack of a better term. And you're more focused than most. But an occasional segue is not exactly a crime.

7 I will tell you what, It will be a long time before I order the crab meat salad in any hotel in Aruba.

8 No, Filty's right, she and her friends exercised a decided lack of judgment that night, and she paid for it with her life. She was one of those perfect girls from a rich family who was destined for a good life, and decided she wanted to go be a whore for a week or so and then go back home where she was all sweetness and light, but it didn't work out like that. I'd lay even odds that she died sometime during the love-train, or has been sold as a sex slave in Columbia or Venezuela.

9 GET A LIFE PEOPLE AND QUIT SPEWING YOUR FILTY SCUMBAG LIES ! SHAME ! JERKS.....

10 Rush made a great point this morning: We got into Iraq, and then couldn't find the WMD, so obviously, the conventional wisdom says, THERE NEVER WERE ANY WMDs. Well... We have police and investigators swarming all over Aruba, which is a tiny little island, and no one can find Natalee Holloway. I guess that means THERE NEVER WAS A NATALEE HOLLOWAY!

11 ana, terrible pictures indeed, but failure to stop at any military checkpoint in the world is going to lead to trouble. 5 U.S Soldiers killed in suicide bombing at roadside checkpoint in Tikrit: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/14/AR2005061400395.html 4 Iraqi national guard killed at checkpoint: http://www2.chinadaily.com. cn/english/doc/2004-10/23/content_385093.htm 4 U.S soldiers killed at checkpoint in Najaf. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/bomb_03-29-03.html 16 people killed at checkpoint in Baghdad: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/10/07/Worldandnation/Bomb_kills_16_at_chec.shtml 5 Iraqi soldiers killed at checkpoint suicide bomb: http://www.pjstar.com/stories/061505/AP__B6N662TC.025.shtml This is the problem when insurgents use tactics like these, because it means innocent civilians get killed when they fail to stop at a checkpoint, I read a comment on the site that soldiers could have stopped the car with shots through the engine block, seeing as most insurgents detonate the bombs themselves the normal method of stopping that is by killing the occupants. It is the same with insurgents wearing civilian clothing and blending in with the general populace it means innocent people get shot, because soldiers are not willing to risk their life, or their fellow soldiers life on the chance of a misunderstanding when many people manning checkpoints have been killed by suicide bombers.

12 Dave thanks for these links - these are "not your normal news" and they must be shown. I do think that photo records such as the ones in the URL i sent earlier are fundamental. For what? How can a president lead an entire nation to believe *his* rationale for the war after his lies about WMD, and his ficticious 9/11-Iraq connections . I talk daily to several supposedley "informed" people that believe that indeed such a 9/11-Iraq link exists! However I bet those same folks know precisely the latest developments in Natalee's case... Meaning that I completely agree with Rusty!!!Shark attacks, Natalees and fingers in chili are more important than the coverage of the war on *both* sides - more images like.

13 Thank Goodness others see this over-coverage ad -nauseum for what it is....NOTHING! I am considering cancelling cable "news" because if I want to read a rag I will buy national enquirer. To CNN, MSNBC, FOX get some class and show viewers what we really need to see. Small hick town gets on the map with this missing person, obnoxious mother with the most annoying voice ever, are attacking any poster on the SM and RW blogs, they are all small minded from small town narrow-minded idiots who are impressed because they are getting all this media attention. Go and post something what they consider negative about their idol bethie and you will get lambasted. These are some sick small town hicks who are excited that they are finally in the limelight with their designer everything knockoffs, who may have a little more than most of the hicks in their state. Just please stop all the media or you will LOSE a lot of viewers. And to you small minded, narrowminded hicks on SM get a life and get over yourselves, believe it or not majority of us could care less about BT the twit and her daughter!

1 Much obliged for the link, thank you. Cheers, Dave at Garfield Ridge

2 Oy. I didn't click the link, but I DEFINITELY know what Goatse is. Don't stare directly into it.

1 I can't participate because your blog still says my site is of "questionable content". [imagine my bottom lip hanging to the floor here as I pout like a four year old]

2 How did mine ever get through then? I figure half of the firewalls in America are fighting me like crazy.

3 I need a fatwa baby!

4 Butch: Here ya go http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v99/daoyster/Journal/fatwah.gif

5 Oops. I submitted my "Developer seeks Souter home" post before noticing that you already had it covered. Oh, well, I've picked another one: "Don't count on conservatives" is a long rant occasioned by some pro-Kelo nonsense by the conservative Carl Frank at No Oil for Pacifists.

6 Issue a cursed "Fawa" on the Punk BUSH LIES - who after you banned his sorry desert-dwelling keister, showed up all over the place like wasps from the basketball-sized hive I shot down from the tree. They were pissed!! WHen they calmed down I took a 3' x 5' cloth down from the clothesline where it was hanging, soaked it in kerosene, draped it over the hive and burned their asses!! Since BUSH LIES can't write back, HA HA, you little piece of degenerate scum - you got what you deserved. Bow down to Downing Street, Bow down!

7 he only writes when he's all sugared up on his kool-aid anyways.

8 That little sh*t turned up at my blog too. All he posted was his usual "BUSH LIES AND SOLDIERS DIE". Naturally, I deleted the comment and in so doing disbursed it back into the ether as the disconnected, meaningless electrons it began as.

9 I call this entry, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Penis". http://princesskimberley.blogspot.com/2005/06/crouching-tiger-hidden-penis_29.html

1 You mean the fellow who commits Durbin everyday?

2 I love my trolls -- because the Cavalry comes in and wipes them out. But that's just me.

3 Darn...

4 Are you talking about Bush Lies, the poet and disciple of the prophet Orwell? What a shame. He was very entertaining.

5 But... but how will I get my daily dose of Paul Levy, "spiritually-informed political activist"? I need a constant IV of poor quantum physics discussions twisted into the claim that Bush stole the 2004 election. Why, oh why did I not experience BUSH LIES until too late. It's always the good that die young. Though in retrospect, he did not blame the Jews enough for my tastes. To hell with him.

6 Rusty, you have to stop doing this. Trolls are like salt and pepper to blogs. I enjoyed the BUSH LIES buffoonery. He made us look so damn smart!

7 Carlos: Fellow idiot, I think he went beyond this, though, posting book-length drivel by Jung and spouting out Carrolian gibberish. And those were his good points!

8 Debate is one thing, what this guy was doing was quite another.

9 Some of you guys will probably never believe me when I say this, but I have never hung out at "leftard" blogs or posted on them...my question is, do they ban people too? BLSD was pretty damn funny, but I can see how his drunk postings could really piss some people off.

10 Rusty, I think you should ban him for 2 weeks, clearly delineate the rules and then invite him back if he is agreeable to adhering to them. Just a thought. He WAS highly entertaining.

11 Thank you, Rusty, thank you. May Filthy Allah sacrifice another goat for you tonight. Osama. Yes they delete comments and ban people regularly. And I've see it happen even when the poster is respectful. But, it happens on both sides. Usually only the most partisan and most shrill sites, so those blogs are not really worth reading anyway.

12 osama, it depends on the size of the blog. On bigger Lefty blogs a rightwinger moves under the raydar. But on smaller blogs the Lib totalitarian tendencies will get you banned faster than you can say politically correct fascists. They don't see it as a free speech issue, they see it as giving "hate" a platform, and they don't do that.

13 BL-SD was anything BUT entertaining. Copying and pasting monolithic essays half the time and complete gibberish the other half is incredibly annoying. At first it was funny. That wore off quickly.

14 Come on, admit it, the guy was a riot. I miss him already.

15 It was all the cutting and pasting that got annoying.

16 Rusty, I'm sure he would agree to cease and desist if he knew the rules.

17 Greg should be permanently banned this time, because he openly supports the terrorists. He thinks the gif of Bush as Nick Berg is funny. I hope he finds his neck under the knife, and the sooner the better. Being a good dhimmi won't save him. No quarter for enemies or their supporters.

18 Improbulus should be banned for his violent fantasies.

19 raspberries. phhhhttttttttttt

20 and that's to Mr. lies himself see that phhhhttttt. na na na nya nya nya. Oh now I'm acting like him sorry.

21 well i see that its not greg......hmmmmmm, well that leaves either B.L.S.D or someone esle more annoying and on the fringe than that....well anyways...lets have three cheers for the Colonel....HIPHIPHURRAY!!! HIPHIPHURRAY!!!HIPHIPHURRAY!!!...id sing "for he's a jolly good fellow" but my voice aint for singing cept in the shower.....sorry, ive been watching "The Bridge on The River Kwai" too many times i think...

22 Oyster: "At first it was funny. That wore off quickly." I'll top you one. I don't think it was EVER funny! I suspect Colon. What about "Downing Street"??? Greg: "I'm sure he would agree to cease and desist if he knew the rules." "Rules? In a knife fight?!" (from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid")

23 Either way...I hope he comes back on only because I laughed so fucking hard when reading some of his posts.

24 I may not be able to offer up a goat however, I do have some left over Habbab Kabbabs in the fridge I would be happy to sacrifice to the honorable Rusty Sahib for ridding the site of the noseless son of a motherless he pimp, BUSH LIES. Habbab Kabbabs are very tasty indeed. YOu can reaaaaly taste the Chutney!

25 I am glad he's banned. I was somewhat tolerant of his comments, until he spammed the help Emily thread with his venom. Then he went from inane babbling to pasting whole essays, how is that even entertaining?

26 Greg wants him back and is even lobbying for his return and Osama thinks he was "hilarious"? Okay guys. This says way too much about the level of your maturity. YBP: When I say it was funny at first, I meant the first one or two posts because it confirmed a lot for me about the left wing nut cases.

27 Oyster: I understand. I still think they were invited here...

28 Oyster...sure filtering through spammy posts is a drag, but his original posts were funny as hell. I'm sorry if you think I'm immature for saying that, but I find humor in almost anything. The nut never liked me, but he still made me laugh.

29 Okay, let's take a vote then. Who should Rusty ban, me or greg? Voting should be restricted to regular contributors only please. If I am chosen I will accept your decision gracefully.

30 Maximus, neither. You both make me laugh.

31 Ok Rusty. Now he's over at my blog posting crap. Thanks alot.

32 Yep - he was crapping in my comments, too. Emphasis on the "was" - I apparently have a low troll-threshold, and bannination hastily ensued. [BTW, Rusty, the comments popup has an oddity or two; it doesn't like resizing (which, stupidly, is the MT default behaviour) and the text entry box is somewhat wider than the popup itself is - at least as I'm seeing it in Firefox and IE. Easy to tweak, if you want to. Drop me a line... I work cheap.] [Actually, free.]

33 One word to LOSER BUSH LIES - HHAAAAAAA! What a punk!

34 I wouldn't ban Greg or IM either. I still want to send IM in a box as a care package to the Saudi Royal Family though...trigger ready, of course.

1 CHIMPY is on the loose again...

2 CHIMPY IS the Dark Side - your impersonal Jesus, distracting you from his oversea killing field, done in the name of his false God. Bless Him, Luke's Father, for he has sinned. His Kingdom lost, America double-crossed as in hell forever.

3 You guys are both retarded; the Constitution died 4/8/1913. [ratification of the 17th Amendment, which effectively eliminated the 10th Amendment]

4 False Jesus CHIMPY keeps lying and soldiers keep dying: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 Guerrillas Shoot Down US Helicopter Bombings in Baghdad Bush Presses Blair for More Troops Guerrillas using a shoulder-held missile launcher, probably an SA-16, shot down a US Apache helicopter Monday north of Baghdad, killing both servicemen aboard. AP reports, ' "Witness Mohammed Naji told Associated Press Television News he saw two helicopters flying toward Mishahda when "a rocket hit one of them and destroyed it completely in the air" . . . Heavy gunfire was heard at the time of the crash and shots also were heard afterward, the AP reporter said. ' If this is the future of the guerrilla war, US casualties will rise dramatically. In another attack on Monday, guerrillas detonated a massive bomb aiming at a US military convoy in Baghdad during the early evening, but missed. It went off between the al-Bida'a Cinema and the Sunni al-Samarra'i Mosque, killing at least four Iraqi by-standers and wounding 16 others. AP says people were shopping in the New Baghdad area "before the curfew." There's a night-time curfew in Baghdad?

5 King Phallus Monkeykeeper Steel-Teeth/Concrete-Jaws CHENEY lies even worse to support his HELLIBACON empire. Dick Cheney should confront reality Gen. Abizaid's testimony confirmed the Iraq insurgency is far from its 'last throes.' Still, the vice president shows persistent disdain for that truth. The Roanoke Times Dick Cheney, meet reality. The vice president's long-overdue introduction to reality came courtesy of Gen. John P. Abizaid's testimony Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee that directly contradicted Cheney's rosy assessment of an Iraq insurgency in its "last throes." Abizaid made it clear that the insurgency was every bit as strong as it was six months ago and that foreign fighters were still joining the battle. A few days before, Abizaid told the Houston Chronicle that the United States was in for an indefinite fight that would "cost in blood and treasure."

6 Torture-monger C H I M P Y and Monkeykeeper C H E N E Y TORTURE PRISONERS and KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE USA Reported to Have Confirmed Torture Le Nouvel Observateur Sunday 26 June 2005 According to a UN official, the United States has acknowledged cases of torture inflicted on prisoners in Afghanistan, in Iraq and at Guantánamo. The United States has acknowledged to the UN that there are cases of torture inflicted on prisoners in Afghanistan and in Iraq, as well as on the American base at Guantánamo, a member of the UN's Committee against Torture pronounced Friday, June 24. According to this official - who wished to remain anonymous - in a report handed over to the Committee, Washington acknowledged that the abusive treatment inflicted on prisoners at the hands of American forces could be considered torture in the sense of the International Convention against Torture. The United States' Mission to the United Nations in Geneva could not be reached Friday evening to comment on this information. Up until now, the United States has always maintained that the abusive treatment inflicted on prisoners at the hands of its Armed Forces could not be considered torture under American law.

10 CHIMPY's PLAN: Articulating The Unspeakable: The Strategy Of Genocide: The USA must begin dealing with Muslims as a people with a unique culture and religion, worthy of the respect and humanity which the USA says it has for all peoples. The Islam of the Qur'an is a righteous religion, supporting a unique form of culture and civilization. Let's make peace with its people. By Casey Butler 06/27/05 "ICH" - - The real tragedy of the "War on Terror" is the religious ignorance of the secular Western nations who are waging it. Or is it ignorance? Could the most experienced and, one assumes, most efficient intelligence agencies in the world have really failed to read the Holy Book used by the 'enemies' they are 'rooting out' today? Please consider the following Islamic truism from the Qur'an: "Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter" Over the last two years the American administration's successive justifications for pre-emptive war have been peeled away like the outer garments of Gypsy Rose Lee. We are finally getting down to the brass tacks of the neo-conservative vision for resolving the thorny issue of Fundamentalist "Islamic Terrorism." Why is George Bush so dedicated to the idea that perpetual war is the only solution to extreme Fundamentalist Islamic Terrorism? Conservatives credit Bush with the altruistic motive of "spreading democracy" by force into lands that have traditionally been tyrannized, tyrannized by tyrants which the USA has traditionally supported. Into lands being ruled by tyranny in order to maintain 'stability' in the region for economic exploitation by the USA. By spreading democracy, it is said, 'primitive' Middle Eastern culture will be brought quickly into the present, and self-sustainable stability will result at some unidentifiable point in the future. Liberals, on the other hand, accuse Bush of ruthlessly and opportunistically attempting to establish an economic world empire through American hegemony disguised as the liberation of Middle Eastern nations. Liberals point out Bush's backing by the commercial and corporate interests whose ventures and holdings are at risk because they conflict with the culture and religion of the Middle East. To put all views into perspective, one only has to imagine another terrorist attack in America on the scale of September 11th, 2001. It might be a nuclear attack, a biological weapons attack, or even a suicide bomber detonating him or herself in a busy shopping mall. Should such an attack happen, Americans will again unite in a non-partisanship of shared terror as we are once again forced to evaluate the real truth of our policies towards others. Another attack will make the views currently propagated by both sides suddenly extinct - moot, in fact, as, in reality, they are now. The true strategy of the war on terror is simply stated: The Armed Forces of the United States are battling terror by attempting to liquidate, terminate, eliminate, waste, take out, whack, button - whatever terminology you prefer - Fundamentalist Muslims 'of color' who obey the words of the Prophet Mohammed recorded in the Holy Qur'an. The correct word for it is 'genocide'. An unbelievable assertion? Please allow me to expound a bit. Following the events of September 11th, during the weeks and months that led to the decisions for pre-emptive war by the United States, great pains were taken to assure the American people that "Islam is a peaceful religion". Islamic religious leaders and mullahs were paraded before the cameras, invited to the White House, and praised by the President in an effort to head off any kind of general feeling of revenge against Muslims that might arise in the American hinterland. The problem is that the opinions expressed by moderate Islamic religious leaders and mullahs, and many Islamic scholars, do not accurately reflect the message that Muslim Fundamentalists believe the Prophet Mohammed received from God and recorded in the Qur'an. Internationally, Americans are perceived as an arrogant people, and I am no exception. I'm not one to point fingers at others because I didn't get around to reading the Qur'an until fairly recently. I've now read it through twice and I am surprised at what I found. If the Old Testament is considered inspired, the Qur'an is certainly inspired. It describes itself as the Word of God for Arabic-speaking peoples, and would not exist without the Jewish Torah and Gospels of Jesus, of which it is a continuance - ie. further 'revelation' in Arabic. Today it is crucial that all of us know what the Qur'an says, especially those in our 'secular' government who are responsible for implementing policy supposedly representing the will of "we, the people". When people are desperate and oppressed they tend to turn to their religion more earnestly than they do when when they're happy and comfortable. When people become victims of poverty or war, natural disasters or oppression, etc... they will turn to their religion for relief. In the case of Muslims, the Qur'an defines a religion based on the worship of the same God shared by Christians and Jews. So when Muslims experience poverty or oppression, invasion and occupation, as Christians and Jews might turn to the Gospels or the Torah in the same situation, many Muslims turn to the Qur'an. Why would Islamic leaders say unequivocally that Islam is peaceful when the Qur'an says it is not? Well, why do many Christian leaders say that war against Islam is justified when Jesus Christ said killing is never justified? Those who propagate religion make it compatible with their own opinions and circumstances, treating original religious truths as non-expedient for their own modern existence, modifying many and even completely annulling some. Islam, within the borders of its mandate, is peaceful. Muslims are commanded to treat with respect other belief systems under their regional control, during conditions of peace. When a region under Islam is challenged, when it is invaded, occupied, or oppressed, Islam is not a peaceful religion. In fact, in those cases, Muslims are admonished, nay, obligated, by the Qur'an to fight in self-defense, using "every stratagem of war", until they are no longer oppressed and occupied. Below, I am presenting verses from the Qur'an you may be familiar with. They are regularly used by people who try to present Islam as a dangerous religion, a religion out to conquer the world by whatever means necessary, violence included. I am presenting these same verses, but I'm asking you to reasonably think through what they really mean to Muslims and the rest of the world today. To begin with, please consider the ramifications of the following verses from the Qur'an for the American troops now stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and those who oppose them: "Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. "And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. "But if they cease, Allah is Oftforgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression." [Surah 2.190-193] These verses are presented "out of context". However, they are also substantiated throughout the Qur'an as Islam's legitimate and divine right to self-defense when the structure of Islamic law, especially the institution of care and support of the poor and needy, are threatened from the 'outside'. These verses are divine instructions. Unlike the recruiting problems the USA faces today, these words guarantee there will never be a shortage of Muslim fighters as long the Qur'an exists. Further, note that it is every Muslim's duty to harbor fighters for the faith: "Those who believed, and adopted exile, and fought for the Faith, with their property and their persons, in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid, these are (all) friends and protectors, one of another. As to those who believed but came not into exile, ye owe no duty of protection to them until they come into exile; but if they seek your aid in religion, it is your duty to help them, except against a people with whom ye have a treaty of mutual alliance. And (remember) Allah seeth all that ye do. "The Unbelievers are protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each other), there would be tumult and oppression on earth, and great mischief. "Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith, in the cause of Allah as well as those who give (them) asylum and aid, these are (all) in very truth the Believers: for them is the forgiveness of sins and a provision most generous." [Surah 8.72-8.74] Who can be designated a fighter for the Islamic faith? Any Muslim wishing to fight: "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not. They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." "Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. "Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein." [Surah 2.216-217] Whether you are religious or not, please consider the information in these verses. These words are, and always will be, in the Qur'an. Nothing will eliminate them except the elimination of the people whose faith is based on them... The genocide of the people whose faith is in these words. The words cannot be changed. The Prophet Mohammed was the last Prophet of Islam. According to the Qur'an, only the coming of the Judgment Day will fulfill the words of God recorded in the Qur'an, or the return of Jesus Christ. Hearing these words of the Qur'an ought to put into context the words of our President, George W. Bush, when he said: "Bring 'em on!". The Bush administration's decision to invade and occupy Muslim nations in perpetuity, while intentionally keeping knowledge of the Qur'anic doctrine of self-defense from the American people, is the USA's politically correct, long-term, 'final solution' for "Islamic terrorism." American and British troops are being used as the flypaper to attract terrorist flies to the slaughter - but there's a 'slight' problem. As outlined recently, the Bush administration is looking to fight the "terrorists" on their own turf, and fight them outside of the USA. The big flaw in this thinking is that, while Muslim extremists like Osama bin Laden and his group have defined the world itself as the battlefield in which Islam must be defended by any means, the great majority of mainstream Muslims have always interpreted the doctrine of self-defense as nationalistic or regional. By invading across international borders, Bush has put his stamp of approval on the Al-Queda view that Islamic fighters were justified to strike across international borders in defense of Islam. Thus the USA's pre-emptive invasions, meant to attract 'international terrorists' to fight it in Islamic nations instead of on American soil, are in fact legitimizing the extremist Fundamentalist doctrine of its supposed enemy. The result is that the majority of mainstream Muslims who would formerly have resisted violently defending themselves across international borders, are now religiously beholden to fighting the United States according to the Qur'an. They are obligated to fight with the full backing of God as they know Him. They also the backing of the real international terrorist networks the USA initially set out to eradicate. Intentionally or not, perpetual war - genocide by war - is an American strategy borne of religious ignorance. Despite all the military might being brought to bear on Muslim nations, the real international terrorist networks are still capable of attacks on American soil. War is war. Causing death and destruction to force your opponent to submit is the object of war. The object of the War on Terror is the eradication of Muslim Fundamentalists who obey the Qur'an's admonitions to defend Islam. Ironically, the more Fundamentalist Muslims the USA eradicates, the more fundamentalists it also creates... The more people from the ranks of Moderate Muslims who will turn to the Qur'an instead of their compromising leaders in order to make sense of the evil happening to their brothers and sisters around them. This is the foreseeable future that our administration is promoting today: perpetual war - perpetual terror. What can we do? Whether liberals or conservatives are in power, Democrats or Republicans, using the overwhelming force of the U.S. Military against Muslim innocents in their own land is executing the same cyclic strategy of genocide. The USA is like a giant locomotive switched onto the wrong track. In its decision for war following 9/11, it blasted through the warning barrier reading: "Danger! Track Ends, Mountain Ahead!". Continuing to expedite this war, the locomotive's engineers are stoking the fire furiously, building up steam... planning to tunnel through a mountain using the forward motion of a derailed locomotive. The only way to end this war, is to withdraw all Western troops from all Muslim nations, alter U.S. policy to oppose tyranny in those countries, and peacefully support home-grown movements for democracy. The USA must begin dealing with Muslims as a people with a unique culture and religion, worthy of the respect and humanity which the USA says it has for all peoples. The Islam of the Qur'an is a righteous religion, supporting a unique form of culture and civilization. Let's make peace with its people. Until that day, our policy in this war is a policy of genocide, not only against the Muslim freedom fighters fighting for the cause of God, but also against the brave Coalition troops we've sent to die in our place, who are also fighting for the cause of God. If any cause is going to unite America, it will be the cause of no war at all from now on. "Casey Butler is the author of the award-winning, anti-war geography game series World Empire.

17 THE BUSH CULT by Paul Levy It is a shattering experience to see through our imaginary projections and recognize that someone we thought was leading and protecting us does not have our best interest at heart. People who support Mr. George Bush resist and turn away from the irrefutable and readily available evidence that Bush is anything but a good leader, as if they are in denial with a capital D. Bush is saying one thing and doing totally the opposite, and many people are simply in denial of this and look away. It is truly as if people who support Bush are not only in denial, but are actually refusing to look and hence, blind to what to most of the world is very obvious. It is as if people who support Bush are under a hypnotic spell, and are suffering from a form of collective brainwashing. People who support Bush in his pathology are exhibiting nothing other than the groupthink of cultic behavior. Followers of a cult unquestioningly give their power away to their leader?s version of reality. People in a cult have dis-connected from their discerning wisdom, which is the ability to discriminate between the opposites, between truth and lies, between good and evil. In a cult, any sort of reflection of the leader?s unconscious shadow is not only not allowed, but is severely punished. The cult leader is typically insulated from people who disagree with him, not even wanting to come in contact and have any connection with people who have a different point of view. People in a cult exhibit complete and total denial with regard to any evidence that contradicts the agreed upon belief of the cult. This perfectly describes people who are following Bush as their leader. People who follow Bush are completely in denial about his truly criminal behavior. People who belong to a cult always get hooked through their unconscious fear and blind spot. The cult members? relationship with each other is based on mutual unconsciousness, as they reciprocally reinforce each other?s denial and illusion. In a cult, there is always some form of mind-control, such as the Bush Administration?s control and manipulation of the media. ?Staying on message? is the typical communication style within a cult. The cult leader plays with people?s fears so as to gain their trust and control them, which is a process that is not based on love but on power over others. There are always aspects of a cult that are kept hidden and secret, which is the mechanism that keeps its hierarchical power in place. In a cult, this inequality of power ensures that a form of abuse always gets unconsciously acted out. In a cult, the members identify with only one side of an inherently two-sided polarity, projecting out the marginalized shadow. Hence, people who disagree with the cult are seen to have fallen under the spell of the Devil. Members of a cult are convinced of the rightness of their point of view, which they consider non-negotiable. Hence, there is no room for the open dialogue and debate which is at the core of a true democracy. Cults will even suppress and distort science to serve their ends, just like the Bush Administration is doing for partisan political ends. And the cult leader is (arche)typically either identified with God or feels he has a special relationship with God. Cult leaders and their followers see themselves as agents of apocalyptic, end-time scenarios, which is one of the more disturbing aspects of Bush and his supporters from the religious right. At their root, cults are based on a mass, collective unconsciousness which feeds and reinforces itself. The cult is of the nature of an infinitely-perpetuating negative feedback loop, fueled by its members? (?the elect?) unwillingness and resistance to self-reflect, look in the mirror and see what they are doing. Because it is so insular and unable to integrate any reflections from the outside, a cult always becomes self-destructive and ultimately destroys itself. This is why it is an extremely dangerous situation if Bush and his cultic followers take over our country, as it will create endless, unnecessary suffering for all of us. Bush might not just take down our country but our very planet as well. Another name for cults is collective psychosis. It is profoundly important for us, as citizens of this country to recognize the nature of the collective madness that is expressing itself through Mr. Bush and Company. People who are following Bush have become entranced and have fallen asleep. What the great psychiatrist Jung would call a psychic epidemic pervades our country and world right now. If our country gives our power away to and elects a madman such as George Bush for another four years, we would in one sense be like the Germans during World War II, who, to quote Jung, ?follow a mediumistic Fuhrer [which means leader] over the housetops with a sleep-walkers assurance, only to land in the street with a broken back.?

18 (I tried to warn you.. but you would not listen...) CHRIST WOULD NOT SUPPORT BUSH by Paul Levy One of the most interesting aspects of George Bush being president is that he is a born-again Christian and recognized leader of the religious right. Like any fundamentalist group, the religious right are identified with only one side of the polarity (the light), and split off from their own shadow, projecting it outside of themselves. Interestingly, Jung refers to projecting the shadow as ?the lie.? People who project the darkness inevitably dream up someone into materialization who they experience as being the embodiment of the ?Devil,? whose inner meaning is both ?the adversary? and ?the liar.? People who disagree with the fundamentalist are seen as agents of the Devil, who need to be destroyed. By projecting the shadow, however, the fundamentalist becomes possessed by the very thing they are trying to destroy. Fighting the Devil is radically different than loving God. Just like we can interpret our dreams symbolically, and we can interpret our life as a dream, we can contemplate any and all events in this universe as we would a dream being dreamed by a deeper, dreaming part of ourselves. Certain events in world history are uniquely illuminating to contemplate in this way, such as, for example, the Christ event. Seen symbolically, as if it were a dream, the Christ event is an unmediated expression of a deeper process going on inside the psyche of humankind that both literally, as well as symbolically, got dreamed up into materialization in, through and as this very universe of ours. In the life of Christ it is as if an archetypal, transcendental dynamic ?irrupted? into and out of this universe, incarnating itself in linear time so as to become visible and actualized. Through the Christ event, which is a higher-dimensional out-pouring of an atemporal process that exists outside of space/time itself, our true nature is being symbolically reflected and revealed, but only for those who have eyes to see. The language of dreams is symbols; the secret of the Christ event is revealed by viewing it symbolically. Christ himself expresses this very point in the apocryphal (literally, secret book) Acts of John. Christ shows John a "cross of light," saying "this is not the cross of wood which you will see when you go down from here; neither am I he that is on the cross." The great psychiatrist C. G. Jung understood very well that Christ was a symbol of our wholeness which he called the archetype of the ?Self.? As Jung points out, there is "a visible split between the historical event down below on earth, as perceived by the senses, and its ideal, visionary reflection on high, the cross appearing on the one hand as a wooden instrument of torture and on the other as a glorious symbol." "Christ," to quote Jung "is merely the projection [ie- a dreamed up phenomenon] of an entirely human mystery [in that he?s reflecting something back that?s deep inside of our soul]." Jung continues, "the real mystery does not behave mysteriously or secretively, it speaks a different language. It adumbrates itself by a variety of images which all indicate its true nature." The different language is dreamspeak, whose articulation is symbolic, not literal. Symbols are very different than signs (ex, "one way, do not enter"), whose meaning is literal, known and can be conveyed in words. A symbol is an expression or emanation of a deeper mystery, as it points to something beyond itself. When we decode and get in resonance with a symbol, it becomes a doorway into and actualizes this deeper state that it itself is a manifestation of. Symbols are psychic energy transformers which reflect and effect a change in consciousness itself. Like any symbol, the Christ event expresses and constellates analogous psychic processes in the beholder. The Gospel of Phillip says "Some indeed see him and realize that they are seeing themselves." This is why Christ says in the apocryphal Acts of John, "A mirror am I to you that know me?.if you understand me, you shall be in your understanding as I am?.behold what you are, I have shown you?behold what is thine through me." Christ is giving a mystic transmission of true "gnosis," of a knowing that is not separate from its object of knowledge. He is reflecting back how to view life symbolically and perceive experience as a reflective mirror, which provides and evokes a deeper sense of meaning. This is why, after this experience, John, "held fast this one thing," in himself, "that the Lord contrived all things symbolically and by a dispensation toward men, for their conversion and salvation." To quote Jung, "For the believing Christian, Christ is everything, but certainly not a symbol, which is an expression for something unknown or net yet knowable. And yet he is a symbol by his very nature. Christ would never have made the impression he did on his followers if he had not expressed something that was alive and at work in their unconscious." A symbol brings together, reconciles and unites contraries or opposites. Christ on the cross is a living, breathing symbol, a true ?coincidentia oppositorum? (a co-incidence, or conjunction of opposites). To quote Jung ?The life of Christ is just what it had to be if it is the life of a god and a man at the same time. It is a symbolum.? Seen as a symbol, Christ brings together and unites the heterogeneous natures of God and humankind in one being. Here in the figure of Christ on the cross we have God himself in all his infinitude, bounded and limited to the max, nailed to the third dimension of space and time. Here in the figure of Christ we have God himself feeling totally human and completely alienated from God, which is to say, from himself. This is perfectly expressed by Christ?s cry ?My God, why have thou forsaken me.? This moment of the utmost distance from God, paradoxically, was at the same time an experience of the greatest divinity. Just like Christ is a symbol of the Self, the cross is a symbol for Christ. Jung continues "even for the knower of divine secrets the act of crucifixion is a mystery, a symbol that expresses a parallel psychic event in the beholder." The cross is symbolic of what Jung would call ?holding the tension of the opposites.? When we identify with only one side of a two-sided polarity, splitting-off from and projecting out the other side, we will develop a symptom, a ?dis-ease? in the core of our being, and will create nothing but suffering and destruction, and in the ultimate sense, death. To hold the tension of the opposites, however, is to be able to embrace and contain both the dark and light parts of our nature simultaneously without dissociating and projecting the shadow outside of ourselves. To hold this tension is truly a crucifixion for the ego, a genuine ?agonia,? but it activates a deeper process inside the core of our being, which is to say that it constellates life in the deepest sense. To be holding the tension of the opposites is to be genuinely ?imitating Christ,? as to be holding this creative tension without splitting-off from our darkness is to be living our lives as fully and authentically as Christ lived his. Out of this creative tension emerges what Jung calls a ?reconciling symbol.? This is a living symbol which both transcends and unites the opposites in a greater totality. We experience this as grace, as it is an expansion of consciousness and thereby something we could not think of by ourselves, but occurs to us with the force of a revelation, as if it comes from God. Christ himself is an example of such a symbol. Instead of holding the tension of the opposites, George Bush, on the other hand, is an embodiment of someone who is completely dissociated from and has split-off and projected out his darker half. Like anyone who is fanatically identified with only one side of a polarity, George Bush has to dream up his darker side ?out there,? in this case on the world stage, to do battle with. To quote Jung ?The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided [not in touch with both the light AND the dark parts of themselves] and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.? Jung points out, ?It is perfectly possible, psychologically, for the unconscious or an archetype to take complete possession of a man and to determine his fate down to the smallest detail.? People who become so seized by an archetype could be said to be the embodiment of the archetype in human form. They become the instrument through which the archetype becomes both visible and actualized. Jung conjectures that Christ himself is an example of such a situation. To quote Jung ?Since the life of Christ is archetypal to a high degree, it represents to just that degree the life of the archetype.? Christ is symbolic of the archetype of the Self, which is the God within, or we could say our divine wholeness (?holiness?). When the archetypal dimension is activated and accessed to such a degree, the environment will even synchronistically reflect back this state of identification with the archetype. When someone becomes possessed by an archetype, to quote Jung ?the archetype fulfils itself not only psychically in the individual, but objectively outside the individual.? This state of embodying the archetype is a situation where the inner process expresses itself synchronistically through the medium of the outside world, as the boundary between the inner and outer has dissolved. Like Christ, George Bush has become possessed by the archetype of the Self. By being so unconsciously taken over by the more powerful archetype, Bush?s inner dissociation becomes visible as the boundary dissolves between his inner process and the outer world. Because of the position of power that he finds himself in, Bush?s inner conflict externalizes itself as he is able to play it out on the world stage. Just like a photograph has a negative, Christ is the image of our divine wholeness (holiness), while Bush is the complete and polar opposite, or ?negative? of this image. In Bush?s case, unlike Christ, who was consciously channeling the positive aspects of the archetype of the Self, Bush is unconsciously possessed by the negative aspect of this archetype, which is to say that he is incarnating the archetype destructively, creating trauma and suffering for anyone in his sphere of influence, which in this case is the whole world. Becoming unconsciously ?seized? by an archetype like this always results in total self-destruction. Interestingly enough, the word ?seized? is related to the word ?rapture.? To say Christ is a symbol is in no way to devalue him or take something away. On the contrary, to say the Christ event is symbolic is to say that it points to something greater than itself, that it is an actual portal into a deeper dimension of our being. If this universe is viewed in its dreamlike nature, it becomes clear that phenomenon such as the Christ event are configured in a way so as to reveal and activate something deep in our nature. To be truly ?born-again? is to recognize that this 3-D universe of ours is embedded in and an emanation of a higher-dimensional synchronistic matrix that is both literally, as well as symbolically, arranging events in this waking dreamscape of ours so as to reflect and effect certain archetypal processes that are happening deep inside the dreamer, which is us. For the linear and literal-minded such as George Bush and the religious right, to see the Christ event symbolically is considered blasphemous and heretical. For example, a book written in 1835 implying that the Christ event could be viewed symbolically was reviewed as "the most pestilential book ever vomited out of the bowels of hell." Speaking of the apocryphal Acts of John, Pope Leo the Great condemned it as "a hotbed of manifest perversity," which "should not only be forbidden, but entirely destroyed and burned with fire." Why is the mere suggestion to see the Christ event symbolically evoking such a violent reaction? What Christ is saying is both psycho-activating and liberating to contemplate, which is threatening to those who are attached to being in a position of power. To quote Jung ?The story of the Temptation clearly reveals the nature of the psychic power with which Jesus came into collision: it was the power-intoxicated devil.? What Christ is saying is particularly threatening to those in power, as Christ?s teachings are totally egalitarian. People like George Bush, who have become corrupted, attached and addicted to power, are particularly threatened by Christ?s teachings. Because he is addicted to power, Bush is trying to conquer and dominate the universe instead of being in relationship to it. As if talking about our current times, Jung comments ?The reigning prince of this world shuns the light of knowledge like the plague.? What Christ is saying is threatening to those who interpret the Bible literally, such as Bush and the religious right. Interpreting the Bible literally is the very opposite of the way Christ himself wanted us to view his incarnation. Interpreting the Bible literally protects us from having to look in the mirror (whose inner meaning is ?shadow holder?) and deal with our own darkness. Interpreting the Bible literally ensures that we can project out and locate the evil ?out there,? thereby shielding ourselves from coming to terms with the evil in our own hearts. As Jung points out, when people such as Bush project the shadow ?this negligence [in dealing with their own darkness] is the best means of making him an instrument of evil.? Seeing symbolically, whose inner meaning is that which unites, is the antonym and antidote to ?diabolos,? whose inner meaning is that which separates and divides. To see the Christ event symbolically would be to recognize, to quote Jung, that ?as we take the Christ projection [reflection] back into ourselves, each one of us is Christ." Jung continues, "the self, or Christ, is present in everybody a priori, but as a rule in an unconscious condition to begin with." Jung points out that everything unconscious, such as our divinity, once it was activated, always gets projected out and approaches us from outside, which is to say it gets dreamed up into actual incarnation. Jung goes on, that the self, or Christ, "is only real when it happens, and it can happen only when you withdraw your projections from an outward historical or metaphysical Christ, and thus wake up the Christ within?.an act of introjection is needed, i.e., the realization that the self (i.e, Christ) lives in you and not in an external figure separated and different from yourself." The literal interpretation of the Christ event that Bush and the followers of the religious right believe in is a deluded and distorted interpretation of what Christ was actually teaching. Christ himself would be appalled at Bush?s perversion of his teachings. When we contemplate George Bush through the lens of Christ?s teachings themselves, it becomes clear that Bush, with all his pious vows of compassion, is actually ?missing the mark,? which is the inner meaning of the word ?sin.? Like Jung says ?Our blight is ideologies- they are the long-expected AntiChrist.? Is George Bush the incarnation of evil? Or is he the highest level bodhisattva playing a very unpopular role, spurring on the greatest numbers to unfathomable heights of awakening? This is analogous to the dilemma that confronts quantum physics- is it a wave or a particle? Like quantum physics points out, it all depends on how we observe it. Like a symbol that contains and unites both of the opposites, George Bush is simultaneously both the instrument of the darkest evil co-joined with being the bringer of the light, which is the inner meaning of ?Lucifer.? Ours is a situation of open-ended potentiality, with the question becoming, how do we want to dream it? The choice is truly ours. Do we go belly-up as we get drafted into endless wars, to quote Jung, allowing ourselves ?to be driven to the slaughterhouse by [our] leading psychopaths like hypnotized sheep?? Or do we access the highest level of our creativity and power as we connect with each other and unite (which revealingly, is the inner meaning of the word ?symbol?) in lucid awareness? Never before in all of human history has consciousness itself played such a crucial role in how our universe will manifest. Like Christ, George Bush has been collaboratively dreamed up into incarnation by all six billion of us. Seen symbolically, the way Christ himself would instruct us to see it, George Bush is a living, breathing embodied reflection that unites the contradictory natures of God and the Devil in one being. This vision is a true ?coincidentia oppositorum,? which is the reconciling symbol that emerges out of holding the tension of the opposites. To quote Kazantzakis, author of the Last Temptation of Christ ?Someone came. Surely it was God, God??or was it the devil? Who can tell them apart? They exchange faces: God sometimes has become all darkness, the devil all light, and the mind of man is left in a muddle.? Recognizing that this dreamlike universe of ours is a living, breathing symbol that is speaking symbolically allows it to resume its revelatory function. Speaking of Christ, Jung says ?the image of the God-man lives in everybody and has been incarnated (projected) in the man Jesus, to make itself visible, so that people could realize him as their own interior homo, their self.? Seen as a dreaming process, in an analogous way, we have all collaboratively dreamed up George Bush into actual incarnation so as to see and potentially integrate this dissociated, unconscious and asleep part of ourselves that he is a reflection of. George Bush is a living, breathing symbol of this dark, ignorant, traumatized, afraid and pathological part of ourselves. When we recognize that George Bush is a mirrored reflection of a sick part of ourselves, compassion spontaneously arises, as we are embracing the darkest part of ourselves. George Bush challenges us to come to terms with the deepest evil inside of ourselves. To quote Mahatma Gandhi ?The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts- that is where the battle should be fought.? Viewed as the symbol that it is, the Christ event is revealing that this state of co-joining, interpenetration, and union between God and humankind has already happened, has already been accomplished in the pleroma (the eternal fullness of the collective unconscious), and simply needs to be recognized to be made real in time. This is why Jung says, "Although (God) is already born in the pleroma, his birth in time can only be accomplished when it is perceived, recognized and declared by man." In other words, the process of the incarnation of God through, in and as humanity is seemingly playing itself out in linear, sequential time in our world, yet in the atemporal, higher-dimensional reality in which our universe is contained, this process of divine incarnation through, in and as humanity has already been accomplished. We simply need to recognize what is symbolically being revealed. Like Christ himself says ?The Kingdom is spread all over earth and people just don?t see it.?

19 CHIMPY's EVIL UNLEASHED! Shedding Light On Evil by Paul Levy Whether we see evil in the terrorists or in George W. Bush, I simply cannot imagine anyone would dispute that the face of evil has emerged in this world of ours. There is something about looking at evil, however, that is very different than when we passively witness something that we remain unaffected by. No one can see evil and stay untouched. To quote the great doctor of the soul, C. G. Jung, who to my mind has the deepest insight into the nature of evil of anyone I?ve encountered, ?The sight of evil kindles evil in the soul- there is no getting away from this fact?..the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.? In dealing with evil we have to recognize that it is not something we can see and remain separate from, as if we are safely in the audience, out of harm?s way. When we see evil, something inside of us gets ignited and set aflame. At the sight of evil, to quote Jung, ?Indignation leaps up, angry cries of ?Justice!? pursue the murderer, and they are louder, more impassioned and more charged with hate the more fiercely burns the fire of evil that has been lit in our souls.? When we see evil, if we react with moral indignation, cocksure of our own innocence and righteousness, this itself is an expression that we ourselves have become infected by evil and have become a conduit for evil to act itself out through us. To quote Jung, ?True, we are innocent, we are the victims, robbed, betrayed, outraged; and yet for all that, or precisely because of it, the flame of evil glowers in our moral indignation.? When we see evil it triggers a resonant darkness inside of us, as if we have secretly recognized a part of ourselves. It is important to recognize that we could not look at the face of evil and see it unless we had that very same evil in ourselves. We wouldn?t be able to recognize it otherwise. It is then a question of whether we can integrate what has gotten triggered in us, or do we inwardly dissociate from our own darkness, imagining it to be separate from ourselves, and project the evil ?out there? onto some ?other.? Projecting the shadow like this, to quote Jung, ?strengthens the opponent?s position in the most effective way, because the projection carries the fear which we involuntarily and secretly feel for our own evil over to the other side and considerably increases the formidableness of his threat.? The nature of this world is such that if we project out our own darkness, the world will shape-shift and provide convincing evidence that the evil really does exist out there, which simply confirms to us our delusion in a never ending, self-generating feedback loop. To the extent that any of us have withdrawn our projection of the shadow ?out there? we have begun, to quote Jung, ?the only struggle that is really worthwhile: the fight against the overwhelming power-drive of the shadow.? For as Jung points out, every person ?harbours within himself a dangerous shadow and adversary who is involved as an invisible helper in the dark machinations of the political monster. It is in the nature of political bodies always to see the evil in the opposite group, just as the individual has an ineradicable tendency to get rid of everything he does not know and does not want to know about himself by foisting it off on somebody else.? Both the individual as well as the body politic have a tendency to project the evil outside of themselves. An individual projecting the shadow outside of themselves actually feeds into, supports and helps to create the shadow projection of the greater body politic. We are all complicit in what our country is doing in Iraq. We all share in the guilt. The bombs dropping on innocent civilians have our names on them. We are not separate but interconnected and interdependent beings, all part of the greater world community. To quote Jung, ?Since no man lives within his own psychic sphere like a snail in its shell, separated from everybody else, but is connected with his fellow-men by his unconscious humanity, no crime can ever be what it appears to our consciousness to be: an isolated psychic happening.? This collective guilt, what Jung calls ?guilt by contagion? belongs to everyone, there is no getting away from it. To again quote Jung, ?the murder has been suffered by everyone, and everyone has committed it??we have all made this collective psychic murder possible?.in this way we are unavoidably drawn into the uncleanness of evil; no matter what our conscious attitude may be. No one can escape this.? The evil that is playing out on the world stage is something all six billion of us are mutually creating and ?dreaming up? together. This is to say the evil that is incarnating in our world is something we are not separate from but are all playing roles in and collaborating with. To quote Edmund Burke, ?Evil can only happen when good people do nothing.? By being a ?dreamed up phenomenon,? the evil that is appearing in our world is a full-bodied reflection, in living, breathing color of the evil inside of ourselves. It is as if an inner process happening deep within the collective unconscious of all of humanity has gotten externalized and projected outside of ourselves, which is to say that it has gotten ?dreamed up? into materialization. If the evil that is manifesting prompts enough of us, however, to recognize that it is a mirrored reflection of a part of ourselves and we self-reflect, we can collaboratively metabolize the evil in such a way that it catapults us into a collective expansion of consciousness. Jung says it is only those among us who are self-reflective who have ?the realization of the immense and overwhelming power of evil, and of the fact that mankind is capable of becoming merely the instrument [italics mine].? The realization of our potential susceptibility to self-deception that could lead to unwitting acts of evil serves as a psychic immunization, so to speak, and creates true humility which itself is a safeguard against evil. This is why, to quote Jung, ?The true leaders of mankind are always those who are capable of self-reflection.? Jung points out that ?only relatively few individuals can be expected to be capable of such an achievement, and they are not the political but the moral leaders of mankind.? Compared to the moral leaders of humanity, Jung points out that the ?so called [political] leaders are the inevitable symptoms of a mass movement.? When there is a mass unconsciousness, such as there is in our country right now, the political leaders literally get ?dreamed up? to be the embodied outer reflection of this collective inner unconsciousness. If we refuse to look at our own darkness and continue to try and destroy the evil we perceive to be outside of ourselves, we fall prey to it and unwittingly become an agent of evil. If we fight evil in our habitual way, which is to try and murder it, we ourselves become a murderer. (Interestingly, one of the inner meanings of the word ?Satan? is ?murderer?) By fighting evil we become possessed by it. Is this the meaning of Christ?s teaching ?resist not evil?? It is like in wrestling with the devil, the devil penetrates into our body, pulsates through our very cells and incarnates itself in, through and as us. To deal with evil as it manifests in the world we have to be able to look at and embrace the evil inside of ourselves. To quote Gandhi, ?The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts- that is where the battle should be fought.? If we refuse to look at the evil inside of our own heart, however, our refusal itself just feeds the evil. If we look away and allow evil to get acted out, thinking that we are innocent, we are unconsciously colluding with evil. To quote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, ?One who passively accepts evil [by allowing it to happen] is as much involved in it as the one who perpetuates it.? The evil that is playing out in the world today is a deeper, archetypal energy that has been re-enacted many times throughout human history. Yet what is unique about our current situation, to quote Jung, ?is not that present-day man is capable of greater evil than the man of antiquity or the primitive. He merely has incomparably more effective means with which to realize his propensity to evil. As his consciousness has broadened and differentiated, so his moral nature has lagged behind. That is the great problem before us today: Reason alone no longer suffices.? It has become clear that our rationality alone cannot resolve our world crisis, something else is needed. It is like we are at an event horizon in the process of the expansion of consciousness itself. To quote Jung, ?we need the illumination of a holy and whole-making spirit- a spirit that can be anything rather than our reason.? We are living in an extremely dangerous time, but it is also a time of great opportunity. To quote Jung, ?We are living in what the Greeks called the Kairos- the right moment- for a ?metamorphosis of the gods,? of the fundamental principles and symbols. This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious man within us who is changing. Coming generations will have to take account of this momentous transformation if humanity is not to destroy itself through the might of its own technology and science.? The unleashing of atomic energy, Jung continues, ??.has given the human race the power to annihilate itself completely. The situation is about the same as if a small boy of six had been given a bag of dynamite for a birthday present??the danger that threatens us now is of such dimensions as to make this last European catastrophe [World War II] seem like a curtain-raiser.? To quote Jung, ?For, as long as Satan is not integrated, the world is not healed and man is not saved. But Satan represents evil, and how can evil be integrated? There is only one possibility: to assimilate it, that is to say, raise it to the level of consciousness??[this is a state] in which the devil no longer has an autonomous existence but rejoins the profound unity of the psyche. Then the opus magnum [the ?great work? of alchemy] is finished: the human soul is completely integrated.? Evil can?t stand to be seen, though, for once it is seen and made conscious it loses its omnipotence and autonomy, as it can no longer act itself out through us. Our task, as Jung reminds us, is ?making the darkness conscious.? As each of us recognizes and integrates our own darker halves, we liberate the energy that was bound up in the compulsion to unconsciously act out and dream up our darker side in the outside world. Instead, this archetypal energy of the shadow gets assimilated into the wholeness of our personality and becomes available for the expression of creativity and love. We need to understand the nature of the ?beast? we are dealing with when we are confronted with evil. The fact that the way we are dealing with evil is itself the very thing that propagates evil is showing us something. Evil is revealing something to us. This is why Jung refers to Satan as ?the godfather of man as a spiritual being,? by which he means that Satan can activate in humankind a process of spiritual awakening that would have been impossible without his intervention. Similarly, Jung points out that Lucifer was ?necessary and indeed indispensable for the unfolding and completion of the divine drama.? Interestingly, one of the inner meanings of the word ?Satan? is the ?shadow of the Lord.? As Jung points out, ?We like to imagine that God is all light, but St. John of the Cross has the truly psychological notion of the darkness and the seeming remoteness of God as an effect of the divine presence.? In other words, shadows are an expression that light is nearby. Whether the evil that is wreaking havoc on our planet right now will destroy us or further the evolution of our species and awaken us to deeper levels of our being is totally up to us. The key is if enough of us become the aforementioned moral leaders of humanity and look in the mirror (whose inner meaning is ?shadow holder?), self-reflect and recognize our complicity with the darkness that is playing out in our world. Self-reflection is the very best service we can do for the divine and the highest way for us to love God. Self-reflection is a true retrieval of our soul- it has an integrating effect, as it is a gathering together and a re-collecting of what had previously been projected out, divided and separated by the dis-integrating effect of evil (the inner meaning of the word ?diabolos? is that which separates and divides). To quote Jung, ?Self-reflection or- what comes to the same thing- the urge to individuation gathers together what is scattered and multifarious, and exalts it to the original form of the One, the Primordial Man. In this way our existence as separate beings, our former ego nature, is abolished, the circle of consciousness is widened, and because the paradoxes have been made conscious the sources of conflict are dried up.? Jung recognized that whenever evil appeared in an individual?s personal process, some deeper good always came out of the experience that wouldn?t have emerged without the manifestation of evil. Could the same thing be true on a collective scale? Could the evil that is coming out of hiding in the shadows and becoming visible for all who have eyes to see be the harbinger of a deeper process of collective realization that is becoming available to us because of its emergence? Jung openly wonders whether ?in this very power of evil God might not have placed some special purpose which it is most important for us to know.? With the appearance of evil it is like we are invited and even prodded to participate in an evolutionary quantum leap in and of consciousness itself. A doorway has opened up for us to collectively snap out of our imagined identities as ?separate beings? and realize that we are all interconnected, on the same side and part of a greater whole. The inner meaning of the word apocalypse is ?something hidden being revealed.? We are experiencing the revelation of the hidden God, the deus absconditus, the dark side of God. Will we not recognize what the ?shadow of the Lord? is revealing to us and continue to unconsciously act it out and destroy ourselves? Or will the evil propel enough of us over the edge to self-reflection, precipitating a mass spiritual awakening unimaginable until this moment in history? Evil is a true quantum phenomenon, in that it contains both of these possibilities in potential, and how it will manifest depends on how we interact with it. Fighting the devil is radically different than loving God. The choice is truly ours.

22 Not bad, but I still prefer TIWWWB.

23 BUSH LIES!! you are one disgusting young ferret, desert-dwelling loser who has no sense of common decency. How much drivel can you expect me to put up with? Either sober, drunk or on drugs - you are a disgrace to the blogging scene and a thug - go back to your cave and wait for your "CHIMPY" in your nightmares. GO AWAY!

24 Jaysus on a Pony, and I thought having my comments spammed by "Texas Hold*m" bots was bad! BL-SD is just trying to bring about a worldwide modern Caliphate and railing against the people who took down his hero Saddam is, at the moment, his only outlet.

25 OMG! Is that blog (TIWWWB) for real?

26 Leopold Stotch:'You guys are both retarded; the Constitution died 4/8/1913. [ratification of the 17th Amendment, which effectively eliminated the 10th Amendment]' Leo, I'd point to the 16th amendment, authorizing an income tax, as the day our Constitution died. It was never actually ratified. Two people have recently beaten tax evasion charges because the government couldn't prove that the 16th amendment was actually ratified. 'For years, those who have asked for the exact details of the laws underwhich the government takes half our lives have been rebuffed, dmismissed, insulted, harassed, and attacked, everything but answered. Only with the Holocaust does the mere asking of a question draw greater scorn and abuse by those in power. We The People have asked to see the actual bills of ratification of the necessary 3/4 states on the 16th amendment, which reversed the prior Constitutional ban on income taxes. The government refuses, insisting that we simply assume that Secretary of State Philander Knox would not lie about ratification in his letter to Congress (even though Knox scrupulously avoided using the word "ratified" and simply declared the amendment to be "in effect"). The government insists that we assume the laws are what we are told they are, even though (as has now happened in two trials) nobody can actually locate the law in question. ' M. Rivero

27 No, it was the 19th Amendmnet....... Pause. Smirk. Wink.

28 Bush Lies: 'There's a night-time curfew in Baghdad?' Yes, the city is under Martial Law. Oh, the joys of liberation!

29 Deus absconditus, this chimpy guy sounds interesting. I think we have to clarify whether a mortal wound equals the date of death, or if we're projecting a date that liberals will actually run in the streets with torches, raping, pillaging and plundering, condoned by the justices.

30 Oh. BANNED!!!!!!!!

31 Rusty, the 19th amendment. Women's sufferage?

32 yea, B.L.S.D. i can tell you are most def. in need of some counseling for that alchol problem you got there...better lay off that moonshine, boy, youll go blind....freakin goofball....and you talk of truth, sheesh, yea, youre telling the truth but its about what crazy idiots extremists like you and a few others who come here and post long rambling, meaningless drivel filled posts....you related to Fidel Castro or maybe Hugo Chavez?? they both like to ramble on while saying nothing, just like YOU....get a life and try and not watch so many X-File episodes, youll be more fit, mentally that is....

33 oh, yea greg, during times of war Martial Law would and should be imposed in a country such as Iraq...there are still TERRORISTS running loose...no, i do not in any way consider those fighting against the American and coalition troops, insurgents or as fat ass Mikey Moore likes to call them, Minute Men...they are TERRORISTS, pure and simple....these curfews are more for the average Iraqi citizens safety and well being as it is for the American soldiers who are conducting the sweeps and patrols...would you be running around on the streets at 2am if you knew that gangs of violent people want to abduct, murder or perhaps sell you into slavery????...if you do, than you got problems and you better hope that an American patrol gets its hands on you first before the terrorists do as they have no respect for whatever religion you are.....im sure, if you have a good reason for being out that time of nite, the patrols have ways to get info, and no, i dont mean beating it out of you as i sense you would say that....i mean in getting in touv=ch with the authorties or a HQ...Curfews are the best way to weed out the criminal element from the innocent just doing an errand or a job...so in a way, yea, it is freedom for the average Iraqi citizen...freedom from the terrorists who really want to impose a brutal regime that will make the imposed curfew look like nothing more than a slight inconveniance...its just like when the State Troopers or local County or town police set up a DWI stop...yea, its a pain, but compared to being run over and killed by some drunk driving asshole, ill gladly put up with it, and in fact i support such actions...it gets those who break the laws off the roads and in jail where they cant ruin the day for some innocents...look at it the same way in Iraq

34 Thanos35;'im sure, if you have a good reason for being out that time of nite, the patrols have ways to get info, and no, i dont mean beating it out of you as i sense you would say that.' Thanos, If you're out past the curfew, they shoot you dead. HELLO! Anybody home?

35 Rusty or Greg...do you have some links you'd recommend on the whole tax amendment thing you mentioned? Carlos...you heard of this?

36 do you know that for sure greg???....youre saying that the American troops shoot you on sight without giving you a warning first????....youre presuming alot right there and youre supposing that our troops are shooting without prevocation and are killing innocents...this is war and thay have to have ways to tell one another apart...passwords or some other sort of way...yea, im sure if you shoot at them they will fire back in self defense, but if youre strolling down the street they are going to have you identify youreself or risk being shot on.....see, by you saying that they will just shoot you offhand, you are making it easier for me to see as one who would go out and shout from the rooftop that the American troops are shooting at every Iraqi without reason...thank you for telling me the truth about you, greg...yea, you REALLY support the American troops, dont ya??....fool

37 Thanos, Under Martial Law, if you're out past the curfew, you get shot. Do you not understand Martial Law?

38 Osama, It's quite true about the 16th amendment not being ratified. The IRS has repeatedly failed to respond to inquiries on the subject. They have also quietly withdrawn tax evasion charges against those who invoke a 'there was no ratification defense'. I won't provide links because I don't want to piss Rusty off. But google, 16th amendment ratification.

39 Aight. But tell me this...since I haven't researched it yet, how come this isn't HUGE news? I would imagine if everyone knew this everyone would be hoarding and the "gubbamint" would be freaking.

40 and greg, youre still not getting what i said....youre are supposing that the US troops will shoot ANYONE, ANYONE at all without having them identify themselves first....just because they have imposed a curfew doesnt mean that they have imposed a Shoot on sight order...think a little.....youd love it to read about an American patrol shooting an Iraqi citizen trying to get over to their familys house and he wasnt given a warning first before he/she was shot, wouldnt ya??...so you could continue screaming youre Anti-American drivel....maybe the Chinese or Russians would shoot first without warning first, but American troops, being under attack by the MSM as being brutal, would attempt to identify the person/persons first before opening fire....youre as funny and as goofy as B.L.S.D. go sit in the corner now

41 Osama:'Aight. But tell me this...since I haven't researched it yet, how come this isn't HUGE news? ' Are you joking? Don't you understand how the country works? The MSM has become a branch of the US government.

42 OMMFG!!!!....greg, you should have an HBO comedy special!!!..youre one funny mfer, lemme tell ya.....another George Carlin is born right here on The Jawa Report.....pardon me while i wipe Coca-Cola off my keyboards after reading that post from greg

43 Hi Greg, I might not be a rocket scientist, but one would assume one way to not get shot in times that martial law is enacted, is to obey what it demands. I don't believe that it's secret that the curfew is in place either, and from the footage they ran most curfew violators are given a nice set of flexi-cuffs and sent back for questioning.

44 thank you dave....greg was assuming that ANY and ALL violaters of the curfew would be shot on sight, which is something i think he would like to see happen, as it would give himself and the MSM more to scream and rant about.....

45 The wacko bush lies has completely lost control. Rusty?

"Morgan wants the show to demonstrate to America that we are Islamophobic and that 9/11's biggest victims are Muslims." Also check out the caliber of the people associated with instruction of 'Islam' in the show.

5 Dave: I read Debbie Schlussel's post and had to comment myself. Thanks to the Internet, this kind of propaganda can be countered somewhat before it hits the general public. It's really shameful what they call a "documentary" anymore. Michael Moore's entire staff is in on this one. And CAIR? Sheesh. Greg ought to lap this one up with a big spoon.

8 Oyster, I was pretty disappointed to read that they're scripted to reach the conclusion of the point he wants to make. After watching the 'life on minimum wage' show I thought it was well presented and hit home. However it brings into question now, how much was scripted for the agenda ? were the emergency room visits scripted to show an agenda? etc. Now he's saying the real victims in 9/11 were the Muslims? outrageous - I am sure he will not say that on the show however, that will be just the conclusion he wants you to reach.

9 Rumsfeld pointed out, on Fox News, that "insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years." Which is it Rummy? 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 or more years? Can the Iraqis fight their own damn war or must we stay another 12 plus years?

10 US acknowledges torture at Guantanamo; in Iraq, Afghanistan - UN 06.24.2005, 11:37 AM ‘GENEVA (AFX) - Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said. The acknowledgement was made in a report submitted to the UN Committee against Torture, said a member of the ten-person panel, speaking on on condition of anonymity. 'They are no longer trying to duck this and have respected their obligation to inform the UN,' the Committee member said. 'They they will have to explain themselves (to the Committee). Nothing should be kept in the dark,' he said. UN sources said this is the first time the world body has received such a frank statement on torture from US authorities.’ http://www.forbes.com/work/feeds/afx/2005/06/24/afx2110388.html OK, no more bullshitting. We have now acknowledged that we have tortured people in Guantanamo and in Afghanistan and in Iraq.

11 Nice tee-shirt banner add. If I see someone wearing that should I take it to understand the he or she would like to be tasered, dragged to my basement and beaten? Not tortured of course- just some light beatings that wont result in death- unless I get a little carried away. Would be happy to do so to any nitwit idiotic enough to wear one. Of course if they have taken the time to make sure it was color co-ordinated with thier WWJD braclet, I might let them walk on by.

15 Dave & Oyster...Morgan Spurlock has nothing on the scripted radio and TV "news" that our taxpayer dollars paid for, courtesy of our current administration. I guess FOX wasn't good enough for Bushie?

16 osama, how is that again? I hear nothing on the news but futility in Iraq, Gitmo torture, Abu Gharab references, Downing street Memo etc.

17 Dave...exactly. FOX news ain't cuttin' it for Bushie. That's why there has been govt. funded (by our tax dollars) to create what is essentially propaganda. Did you not hear about this? There were "newscasts" which weren't news promoting Bush's agenda where the speaker would sign off as "so and so reporting..." and they also paid off a big radio guy as well as a few others to promote Bush. It's no moon-bat claim either, Bush actually publicly disapproved what was going on later, but I think he had to rather than let it get blown up worse.

6 Courtesy of Bush.. Iraqi rebels refine bomb skills From David S Cloud The New York Times ,Washington: It is believed that experts in the former Iraqi army and rocket scientists are involved in the making of the explosive devices. American casualties from bomb attacks in Iraq have reached new heights in the last two months as insurgents have begun to deploy devices that leave armored vehicles increasingly vulnerable, according to military records. Last month there were about 700 attacks against American forces using so-called improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, the highest number since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, according to the American military command in Iraq and a senior Pentagon military official. Attacks on Iraqis also reached unprecedented levels, Lt Gen John Vines, a senior American ground commander in Iraq, told reporters on Tuesday. The surge in attacks, the officials say, has coincided with the appearance of significant advancements in bomb design, including the use of "shaped" charges that concentrate the blast and give it a better chance of penetrating armoured vehicles, causing higher casualties. infrared lasers Another change, a senior military officer said, has been the detonation of explosives by infrared lasers, an innovation aimed at bypassing electronic jammers used to block radio-wave detonators. In a sign of heightened American concern, the Army convened a conference last week at Fort Irwin, in the California desert, where engineers, contractors and senior officers grappled with the problems posed by the new bombs. At a briefing on Tuesday for reporters at the Pentagon, General Vines, who spoke by telephone from Iraq, said that the insurgents' tactics "have become more sophisticated in some cases," and that they were probably drawing on bomb-making experts from outside Iraq and from the old Iraqi army. A senior Marine officer with access to classified reports from the field said that the vehicles involved in at least two fatal attacks were armoured Humvees but that the bombs "were so big that there was little left of the Humvees that were hit." Insurgents have long been able to build bombs powerful enough to penetrate some armoured vehicles. But the use of "shaped" charges could raise the threat considerably, military officials said. The shaped charge explosion fires a projectile "at a very rapid rate, sufficient to penetrate certain levels of armour," Lt Gen James T Conway, the director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said. A Pentagon official involved in combating the devices said shaped charges seen so far appeared crude but required considerable expertise, suggesting insurgents were able to draw on well-trained bomb-makers, possibly even rocket scientists from the former government. Shaped charges and rocket engines are similar, the official said. Infrared detonators are an advance over the more common method of rigging bombs to explode after an insurgent nearby presses a button on a cell phone, a garage-door opener or other device that gives off an electric signal. That approach is vulnerable to jammers, however, and a shift to infrared detonators, which rely on light waves, underscores the insurgents' resourcefulness.

7 CHIMPY's dad sent Maximus to the desert and it warped his rattle-brain so much he wants to attack the 60% of america who dare say enough to the McChimpy war, enough to the McChimpy body bags and enough to the McChimpy's false propheteering.

10 Deny6 the insurgents the chance to kill - bring troops back NOW

11 I saw that reported on the news a few hrs. ago, and I'm soooo glad you bought it up. Why? Because the next time you hear the ilkes of John Kerry say they "have a plan" for reproducing the economic windfall that was the result of a G-d given gift, through the agency of single individual over whom the government had (thank G-d) no control, say to yourselves, "Yeah, Right!" And what's more, none of our nation's economic mega-successes have ever been due to conscious govt., bureaucratic meddling. In fact, from the history I've learned, whenever our economy has boomed, it has been in spite of, rather than because of politicians. If anything justifies the Republican claim that the economy is better off in the hands of business than those of the government, I think the consequences of Jack Kilby's work is it. And what on earth does that have to do with all the childishly ignorant propaganda posted above about Iraq, except that those lies, too, are fostered by the leftmost end of the political spectrum, as represented by the socialist bloviaters of the demoncratic 'Party Of The Terribly Irrational & Irrelevant' (that's POTTII, for short)? But, since you've brought it up, you might as well know who the terrorists really are, and how they are all connected. Here is a Muslim website that shows, in excruciating detail, how Bin Laden and Saddam ARE linked to each other, to the Nazis, and to nearly all other Islamic terrorists in the world. www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/index.htm They are all one big unhappy islamofascist family, and if you can't figure out why we are fighting these monsters after reading that, you might just be one of them. NOTE: The few articles that I've read on this site have been pretty good. I hope the writers soon acquire a more appreciative readership than they appear to have, based on the buckets of drivel I've seen in the comments sections of those articles.

12 To Dave That iq test of yours is spot on! (...hope I never have reason to reqret having said that.)

13 Yoda - CHIMPY and Bin Laden are so tightly bound together they need pants with four legs and even the photo is illegal in most decent places. Who, but CHIMPY can bring 'em on so well? Who, but CHIMPY needs Bin Laden to be powerful? Who, but CHIMPY screws us out of our money and liberty so that he can steal oil?

14 Who but Bushlies is so lame that "Chimpy" is the best he can do. Get it through your thick skull - you are nothing. Your plan is nothing and you like BUSH. Get off this blog!!!

15 IM: "I wonder where it learned to use English? From the tone and pattern I would say comic books, but not the good ones, the cheap knockoffs." Sounds like Lewis Carrol on drugs, no?

16 BLSD, I have to admit, the more I see, the more I realize that Bush is not to be blamed for anything. If you wish to express your anger, you should aim it at the correct person. Even though some ventriloquist dummy can seem to make you terribly upset, in reality it is the ventriloquist who is doing it. So don’t blame Bush when Chenney pulls his strings. But I will also admit that the war in Iraq was justified. Not because of the WMD, but Saddam did repeatedly disobey the UN, and he torture and killed people. The only thing I dislike that Bush, oh I mean Chenney, did wrong with the war is he jump the damn gun. Instead of going for a quick KO punch with tomahawks, we should of waited. We needed more troops initially to help prevent the looting and chaos that was going to happen after the invasion. We need more troops to patrol the borders to prevent asshole terrorist from coming in. We need more troops to train the Iraqis faster and better. My opinion is we are now suffering from that because now have a fear of the thugs, because they had to live with them until recently. Some still do. If we could of protected the average Iraqis at the beginning, they would be more forth coming with information. That is my opinion. One last thing, since most people on this blog does not like you sign in, I came up with two that you can use if you want. Chenney pulls – Bush Dances or Bush as Boss – Jobs are lost.

17 So the dead guy is the one who is to blame for Info Tech? Dangit, someone should've told him to pursue an acting career or something... World would be a lot better place without computers, world wide web and satellites. Hundreds of millions of miserable creatures spending hours and hours glued to the TV/comp screen watching+listening shit or typing/reading crap, all because of him and the nerds who were helping him create a device that would make idle people into zombies.

18 Ah, Finn...but you have a choice! You can take a sledgehammer to your computer right now! I do hear you, brother. I'm about as tech as they get with computers, surveillance, gadgets, etc. Sometimes I want to scrap it all and just disappear into the wilderness to live off the land. I'm sure "Bush Lies" is gonna tell me not to because "McChimpy" is going to clear-cut my new home...

19 Anyone ever read the Unabomber, Ted KaczynskiÂ’s Manifesto. The man was a disciple of the prophet George Orwell. http://www.thecourier.com/manifest.htm

20 1984 now there's a good book everyone should read.

21 Nah, if you want a real mind fuck...read John Zerzan's "Running On Emptiness - The Pathology Of Civilization".

22 Speaking of Ted Kaczynski (and Al Gore), can you tell the difference? www.crm114.com/algore/quiz.html It's a lot closer to home than the leftists want us to think: "Here's a quote not on the quiz. You tell me who called the automobile "a mortal threat to the security of every nation that is more deadly than that of any military enemy we are ever again likely to confront"? That's right. That's our former vice president and the man who won the popular vote in the last presidential election." from: www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21866 Whew! Close call, eh! I mean, who would vote for...? Oh wait, that's right, they're the ones who say they want a "reasoned debate" and then make undocumentable charges, shout down opponents and throw insults, obscenities and pies. Yeah, I guess it's not so implausible after all.

1 Does that mean that when a woman is having an orgasm, she thinks like a man? All joking aside, it's a known fact that women are generally right-brain dominant, and men are generally left-brain dominant, with the right brain being all about creativity and emotions, and the left being logic. So if the right-brain aprtially shuts off, that would make women more men-like in their thoughts, no?

2 A friend told me that the researchers had to use state-of-the-art precision instrumentation to detect when the female brain turned off. Normally, I'm told, the change of state is undetectable.

3 It's my understanding that the male of the species has no cognitive function in either head. One gives him the motor function necessary to feed and clothe himself and the other would gleefully lead him over a cliff as it cares nothing for its host.

4 Women have orgasms?

5 My theory is that when blood rushes to the lower head, it vacates directly from the upper head...

1 "Any disagreements or people I left out?" Hell, yes! But what's the point of arguing.

2 Ted Rall, Duncan Black (Atrios), Al Franken, Mo Dowd, Paul Krugman - just off the top of my head.

3 Oy vai, vai is mir! I nominate the members of the PNAC: Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, Eliot A. Cohen, Midge Decter, Paula Dobriansky, Steve Forbes, Aaron Friedberg, Francis Fukuyama, Frank Gaffney, Fred C. Ikle, Donald Kagan, Zalmay Khalilzad, I. Lewis Libby, Norman Podhoretz, Dan Quayle, Peter W. Rodman, Stephen P. Rosen, Henry S. Rowen, Donald Rumsfeld, Vin Weber, George Weigel, and Paul Wolfowitz. Especially, Franicis Fuck-You-Yeah-Man!

4 Wow, a lot of J-O-Os in your list Greg.......

5 How about Amnesty International. I know it's an organization, but you get to pick which numbnut in charge should get top billing, the one who made the idiotical gulag statements or the one who defended it. Aw heck, put 'em both on there. They deserve it since they give cover to despots and dictators around the world and permit idiots in Congress to repeat their insanities on a daily basis (Dick Durbin? et al.)

6 Wow, a lot of J-O-Os in your list Greg....... Purely coincidental!

7 I assure everyone that no one enjoys a Pastrami sandwich as much as I do.

8 And here locally (Jacksonville, Florida) Corrine Brown. That woman is the most partisan, divisive politician in NE Florida. She is a complete nightmare. And Bubba Clinton absolutely LOVES her.

9 Gloria Feldt, Kate Michelman, Faye Girsh, Kim Gandy, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Jack Kevorkian, William Roedy.

10 Ibrahim Hooper and the rest of the CAIR Bears

11 Ooh, I like that last one........

12 I would have possibly put Oprah a little higher, but it's definitely a fight at the top. As much as I hate to blast corporations, I'm gonna have to add Microsoft. If they're willing to go along with China's demands and meet with the PM of Vietnam this week I cannot put past them the fact they'd be willing to bow to the FEC.

13 Didn't those generals already kill Bill Gates???

14 The ACLU.

15 (the sound of wind between Editor's ears is deafening) (hangs head in shame)

16 Of course we can't forget the top 2. No 1. Cheney No 2. Bush.

17 It should be "Who's." Not "Whose."

18 I also nominate David Lynch and Dennis Hopper. Ever since I saw 'Blue Velvet', I've thought these two men were pure evil. And then there is Lynch's 'Eraserhead', absolutely the most frightening movie I've ever seen.

19 Fargus, DOH!!

20 Funny, I didn't see any terrorists on the list. What's up with Oprah being on there? Did she give too much money to Democrats or does the Right just hate successful black women? Hehehe...

21 Oprah is on there for leading the vast gynocratic conspiracy.

22 "Funny, I didn't see any terrorists on the list. What's up with Oprah being on there? Did she give too much money to Democrats or does the Right just hate successful black women? Hehehe..." Osama: She hugs people too much.

23 Girlfriend, you need to chop that penis off!

24 Celine Dion should be enemy #1

25 Man, the only thing she's guilty of is giving away too much Pottery Barn stuff and giving Tom "don't squirt me, jerk!" Cruise a platform to be a freak.

26 Someone please replace Oprah with Paris Hilton.

27 By the way, Paris won't sue you because she doesn't even know what a blog is. I wish I was kidding about that too...

28 You want to know who else is screwing up America? The people who pay for this crap: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cthomasesq/19411502/ Shit, I'll never be an engineer...I've had S-E-X!

29 Oprah was just arrested for possessing 100 lbs. of crack. It seems she bent over while wearing hip hugger jeans and exposed her ass.

30 Gynocratic conspiracy... Can I steal that?

31 I can't believe Hillary wasn't on there.

32 "I can't believe Hillary wasn't on there." Hillary is just one segment of a tapeworm that is sucking the life out of this country. The entire left is one superorganism, like a fungus whose mushrooms we think of as individual organisms, when in reality they are all just expressions of the original. I know I mixed metaphors, but when I think of dhimmicrats, fungae and parasites spring to mind.

33 Simon Cowell? I can uderstand Oprah, because average IQ in America seems to have started a nosedive at about the same time she got national syndication, but Simon? Other than foisting crappy music upon us, I can think of no other crime he has committed, though that one is enough for summary execution. Still, he is but a lemming in the stampede.

34 Simon is on the list because I can think of no other symbol of cultural decline as embodied in reality TV.

35 Rusty! Paris Hilton! Change the list!! Celine Dion has nothing on this freak...and on that note: http://www.big-boys.com/articles/parisspoof.html

36 George Felos. That guy gives me the willies.

37 Can't forget Lumberg.

38 MTV. L. Ron Hubbard. Steinem/Friedan/NOW. Hunter S. Thompson.

39 Political corruption should have the death pentaly attached to it. Congress officals and senators should not be immune from being prosecuted for something like this and should suffer the same fait as the rest of us. Same thing goes for people who steal hundreds of millions of dollars from people via junk bonds and golden parachut themselves away from companies. They deserve to have the death penalty applied to them too. No more fooling around, give it to them 12 men and women in a jury box a judge, prosecutors and defense attournies. Once they are found guilty, they can appeal but once there appeals run out, an execution date would be set. End of story.

40 I say add John Esposito from G-Town. The guy has been wrong on just about everything he has written about Islamic terrorism. He has had a terrible effect on MESA over the last 15+ years and the USA will have to deal with his influence for a long time.

41 I'd have to nominate all the asshats who came up with the BCS...

42 CHIMPY CHIMPY CHIMPY!

43 Oprah is on there because she pleads the cases of the splodeydope Pali's without ANY regard for Israel. "This is Shania... She wants to become a martyr... But before we judge, let us examine her plight." *SPIT*

44 I love how the best the leftards can do in terms of rhetorical argument is: "CHIMPY CHIMPY CHIMPY!". They are so stupid they don't know how stupid they sound. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost, but I'm still going to take a few trophies when the time comes.

45 McChimpy is the number one screw up of america today, hands down or hands up in his hitler salute.

46 what always makes me laugh about Ted Kennedy is that he supports irish terrorism against britain (our ally) but claims he supports fighting terrorism.

1 I have you both beat. I sat behind Charleton Heston at a performance of Nicholas Nickleby back in the early '80s. Ha!

2 I rode around in a car with Arlo Guthrie one night and got stoned with him back in the early seventies. I saw Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin - live. I talked to Jim Morrison in a bar in Miami for a few minutes. I shook hands with John F. Kennedy when I was 8 years old. So there!

3 "I talked to Jim Morrison in a bar in Miami for a few minutes." Get the fuck out! Are you serious? You MUST spill details, even if they were mundane. Was it around the time he was charged for inciting a riot? Seeing Hendrix & Joplin live is almost as cool. Seeing Zeppelin live would trump it all. Oh wait, yeah, must stay on topic....ummm, uhh, the Dutch have F-16s in Afghanistan? Uhh, I thought they were a liberal country! They couldn't possibly be helping out in the GWOT! (yes, that will do)

4 Morrison was in town to appear in court for his indecent exposure charge. He was hard to talk to. Let's just say he was a bit "strange". Arlo Guthrie was a lot more fun.

5 Oh, and you're right about the Dutch. They're "neutral" unless they can make a few bucks.

6 I have you all beat, when I was 8, I walked a mile in a parade right beside no other than H.R. Puffinstuff. Ok, maybe I don't have you beat.

7 Dude! HR Puffinstuff? Awesome!

8 I'm not old and crusty enough to have chilled with Morrison, though I'd trade that shit for all the people I've met...sort of just a result of being in NYC: Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Portman and George Bush (senior). Plus a ton of NYC supermodels with no talent that have no business even being named here...

9 Crusty? Crusty? You little snot! ;-)

10 I've met a few notables, mostly Army guys, and most people wouldn't know them, but I can say I have stood face to face, and even shared beers with, some of the greatest honest-to-God heroes of our century. I met one old Special Forces Sergeant Major at Fort Bragg at the SF club, and the stories he had to tell from his almost 40 years in the Army were nothing less than astounding. He had truly been everywhere, seen everything, met everyone, and killed them. With his bare hands. Okay, I exaggerated that last part. He used a C-ration spoon on some. Oh, and I met Norman Schwarzkopf once too. That was pretty cool.

11 I forgot, my unit was once inspected by Dick Chenney when I was station in Okinawa. But H.R. Puffinstuff was more of a thrill for me.

12 I also saw, but didn't meet, John Quiñones from ABC news once in Atlanta. It wasn't thrilling, just a surpirse. We were having lunch in a trendy Italian place in Alpharetta and I looked around to find the restroom, and there was John coming out. I guess I looked stunned, and all I could say was "hey!" (this to my wife, though I wasn't looking at her), and he must have been used to that sort of thing, (ya think?), because he just looked at me, winked and grinned, and said "hey, how's it goin'?" and continued to his table. Next to ours. We hadn't ordered yet and I've always been wary of trendy restaurants, but I figured if he was eating there the food must be decent. The only thing about the whole meeting that really impressed me was the fact that he's a big guy, and he looked like he worked out, which is a definite contrast to most wimpy news guys you see.

1 What's one more irate Moslem in the Big Apple?

2 Not many more, and they'll have to rename it the Big Falafel.

3 I don't know - I'm leaning more toward the "Big Couscous".

4 Holy Facism, Batman! You are all sooooo bright, creative and yet so blind/gullible? Or is it a genetic defect in the children of (the neo)conservative America? I was once a Republican. No longer. How can all of you with your smarts, education and all information all the time overexposure support an administration that is in bed with the very people that blew up the WTC? Are most of you still too young to drive? Fuel prices are up 28% in a year...we own Iraq, the 2nd largest oil field ON THE PLANET. Don't you believe that whatever Amerika says still goes on this planet? Of course, it does. Mr. "404" Bush should never have been allowed to run for Pres. His family had too many ties to the terrorist-energy community. Open your eyes. Do some research. Get in some balanced reading; House of Bush, House of Saud, for example. It's frightening, my young conservative fundamentalists. And we all know what fundamentalism leads to in the Middle East,...suicide bombers

5 ..and you know what Micheal Moore viewers leads to in America,... Idiots who troll boards.

6 It is getting near the end of the Bush Regime. The House of Bush is falling and there is nothing you can do.

7 http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm Interresting subliminal messaging. Especially the Britney. That explains why many people like her eventhough she ain't looking that specially hot.

8 Anne: The Nazi Chimp Bush Blew up the WTC Conspiracy debate is a few posts down.

9 Time to spam with opinions and prophecies: Media is still trying to make north believe they need to have less kids and be gay because south has a baby boom. North can feed it's extra population, it's the friggin' south that needs to be castrated. If there are no destructive terrorist attacks in West-Europe or North America, war on terror ends before December 1st this year. News about troubles in the Far East will start getting more and more space in the media in order to make invading North Korea a justified act of 'peace'. If someone kills Bush before his reign ends, his worldpolice-politics will be continued with 'honouring the leader'-excuse, so I think he'll be killed this September or the next, so they can link it to WTC and terrorists in 'American idiot' -minds. Rusty, Greyrooster and Babers turn out to be Dick Cheneys schizophrenic illusions after the old git gets a heart attack and dies.

10 Anne, who has gone off her meds again, blurted out: "Holy Facism, Batman!" Not so fast boy blunder, remember what Alfred says about posting things to the internet that make you look like an idiot. You are all sooooo bright, creative and yet so blind/gullible? Or is it a genetic defect in the children of (the neo)conservative America? Ah apparently you didn't remember. It's a bat-spanking for you then. "I was once a Republican." I doubt it. You may have called yourself a Republican, like you probably call yourself Princess Leia at parties. Neither is true. "No longer." We can all rest easier now. Of course we could all tell this by the fact that our Joooooooooooooish mind control rays just bounced right off your tin-foil Mickey Mouse hat. "How can all of you with your smarts, education and all information all the time overexposure support an administration that is in bed with the very people that blew up the WTC?" "All the time overexposure"? What the hell is that? Is it like: "All your base are belong to us?" Did you listen to that radio program last night? I heard that too. But I didn't sit there gullibly swalling everything that was said. It was neither Republicans, nor Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssss, nor spacemonkeys who blew up the WTC. It was a couple of airplanes piloted by peaceful Arab Muslims. There is tape, you know. "Are most of you still too young to drive?" Yeah, in my state they don't let you have a license until you are 45. your adult children have to co-sign. "Fuel prices are up 28% in a year...we own Iraq, the 2nd largest oil field ON THE PLANET." Which INCONTROVERTABLY PROVES that we invaded for oil! Ride the short bus much? "Don't you believe that whatever Amerika says still goes on this planet?" Of course it does dear. Of course it does. "Of course, it does." I said that. But I was being partonizing. You, on the other hand, are just being sad. "Mr. "404" Bush should never have been allowed to run for Pres. His family had too many ties to the terrorist-energy community." Nice hyphenation. What kind of energy terrorist are hiding in your bushes, hmmm? "Open your eyes." "Blink" AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh... The light! The horrible light of truth! Oh, sorry, I was facing the window and the sun was coming in. What at first was overwhelming and disorienting is quickly found to be nothing special. "Do some research." Which comic books do you recommend? "Get in some balanced reading; House of Bush, House of Saud, for example." Does it have lots of "POW!", and "BAM!"? Ah, balanced. Of course. Actually I did browse it heavily at the bookstore. Too many rhetorical leaps, unless of course you can take a typical business relationship in a world you will never understand, and extrapolate it into a cabal bent on world domination. Something tells me you can. "It's frightening, my young conservative fundamentalists." Hehe, in my head that sounds like: "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" It may be frightening to you, but I suspect a lot of tother things are too. There is help, you know. The nice doctors don't want to implant (yet another) mind control device, they just want to help you. Now come down off the roof dear before the nice policemen have to tazer you. "And we all know what fundamentalism leads to in the Middle East,...suicide bombers " You're all over the map now. Tell ya what, you just let us know when you see a family of well-dressed white people in a minivan loaded with explosives on their way to vacation Bible school. When you see them, call DNC headquarters and tell them "YEEEEARGH!". It's a secret code; they'll know what you mean. You have to keep an eye on those Republicans, you know, they go to church and everything. Dangerous lot. Well I'm off to add a couple of layers of foil to the house. The Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssssssss might be close by.

11 Downs Syndrome Meme drooled: "It is getting near the end of the Bush Regime. The House of Bush is falling and there is nothing you can do." Hehe, you guys are killing me this morning. On reading that, I instantly envisioned a fat guy sitting in his mother's basement, rubbing his hands together. He smells like BO and Doritos. He is lonely. Soooooo lonely... But you forgot to add: "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!". I will forgive you for not having thunder and lightning though, as Dr. Rusty doesn't allow such things. The fascist. Oh and by the way, if by "falling" you mean that he will leave office in a little over three years; yeah, we knew that. And there is nothing we'd want to do about it, as that's what the Constitution says must happen. It was only your beloved commie-lover FDR who overstayed his term. And I have three words for you: Condi in '08!

12 (In James Earl Jones' voice) All the tinfoil in the galaxy won't save you young jedi moonbats! You don't know the riddle of steel! Oh, wait... sorry, Karl, getting my scripts mixed up. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!! (heavy breathing) MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

13 Anne, the loony bin is thataway ---------------->

14 Jeez. To Anne Gabriel and Downing Street and one I will not mention: WTF? Do you guys have information on this particular situation that the rest of us don't have? Please, share it with the rest of the class. You've gone off on a tangent that the rest of us have heard before and summarily reject. Try to stay on topic.

15 first off, i just turned 39, so am i legally old enough to drive,Anne???...second, no shit that Bush wont be president again..he can only run for two terms, so why is it that these liberals have to bring that up all the time???..big freakin deal, you freakin Democrats with Dean, Hillary and Kerry as youre best choices for 2008, sure as hell arent gonna win so HAHAHA right back at you, smartass....we own Iraq???...gee thats a good one, think ill move myself and the family on over and buy me up some land and start a nice cattle ranch...YEEHAAA!!!...dopes....and i think the Chinese have alot to say about what goes on this planet as well, they are the next superpower on this planet, its coming, maybe not tomorow, but soon, so the US doesnt run everything lady, get a grip...oh and i guess a KNOWN womanizer and adulterer like Willy Clinton was okay to run as president, huh???..nice...and yea, i do lots of reading, not just online, i have an entire library right here in my home...i check on stuff when i have some doubts when i read a new book i pick up, as i know how liberals LOVEEEEEEEEE to rewrite history all the time...oh, and many other people had/have ties to the Saud family....gee, isnt Soros one of em too???....isnt his greedy little fingers making trouble all over the place and not a word is said about him in the media???...biased a little???....whose the ones not paying attention now, my liberal goons???....you guys need to all get on the next shuttle launch and have NASA drop you all off on the moon

16 "Downs Syndrome Meme drooled" LMAO! you're on a roll. I'm so bored with these moonbats it's all I could do to muster any response for them.

17 I wonder what kinds of psychological tests the armed forces in Finland have.

18 They have no tests at all, since the health care system is supposed to notice stuff like that. Murderous, suicidal people with no respect for their own lives or consideration for the families of their enemies get things done better in a warzone than thinking sensitive people with sympathy and will to live... Besides, not in there yet. Gonna finish 2. lvl education (lukio) first.

19 Oh, commanding officers need to be tested though, so the brutalities and senseless destruction can be blamed on a soldiers temporary or constant insanity instead of commanders. Justifies HUUUUUUUGE enemy casualties with minimal international attention.

20 Speaking of terrorism in the United States, we were attacked with Anthrax. How soon we forget. The letters contained a specific type of weaponized Anthrax made by a United States military lab which had been claiming for a lot of years that it wasn't doing that sort of thing any more. The anthrax came from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, Md. http://www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/2001/12/19/anthrax-probe.htm The person who created the letter wrote what they thought a letter from Arabs would look like, so that the phrases "Death to Israel", and "Allah is Great" (a real Muslim says either "Allah Achbar" or "God is Great") would point the finger of blame for the Anthrax at Arabs. And that means that all the references to Allah and Israel are a carefully crafted hoax, designed to trick Americans into thinking that Arab Muslims were to blame for the Anthrax letters. There are two suspects accused of being the source of the Anthrax letters. The first is Dr. Philip Zack, who was caught on camera entering the storage area where the Anthrax was kept without proper authorization after being fired from his job for a racially motivated attack on an Egyptian coworker. http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/anthraxmissingarmylab.html The second suspect is the more well known Dr. Stephen Hill, accused (and re-accused and re-accused) by Dr. Barbara Rosenberg although no actual evidence of his involvement has surfaced. Regardless of whether one thinks Dr. Zack or Dr. Hill is the culprit, neither man is an Arab Muslim, which means that the above letters are not evidence of a terrorist attack. They are evidence of an intentional deception against the people of the United States; a deliberate frame-up of middle eastern Arabs for acts of terror committed inside the United States. The day before Anthrax was discovered , a letter arrived at a police department claiming that the Egyptian coworker that caused Dr. Zach to get fired was the one that sent the Anthrax. This was a big slip up as the Anthrax had not yet been discovered until the next day. Again, someone trying to frame an A-Rab. Probably Dr. Zack. He has barely been investigated compared to Dr. Hill. Dr. Zack is a member of a certain religion of peace. He is rumored to have dual citizenship. He should be the prime suspect. Dr. Rosenberg, also a member of a certain religion of peace, has kept the focus off Dr. Zack and on Dr. Hill. Go figure! We need to solve this. Call your congress critters and ask why Dr. Zack hasnÂ’t been fully investigated. This crime MUST be solved.

21 Ummmm... When was greg unbanned? Oh well. Greg rules, believe him, Bushian fanatics. He is the voice of uncertain truth and forgotten fact.

22 Well then, I guess were over that hurdle.

23 ItÂ’s 9 am here around Seattle, IÂ’m going out for my run. Finn, as long as you are predicting future events, can you perhaps come up with a couple of good stock picks for me? Just stare at that midnight sun for a few hours and the ticker symbols will just come to you. Later.

24 For an in depth analysis of the Anthrax case, go to: http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=2038 Yes, it's from antiwar.com But Justin Raimondo is a paleo-Republican who writes exceptionally well and backs up every sentence with an article from the MSM. For example, the original Hartford Courant article reporting Dr. Zack's midnight break in into his former place of employment, Ft. Detrick, many months after he had been fired. It is facinating reading.

25 Fascinating!

26 Brad, I recommend a basket of asian currencies. Include the Chinese currency, the Renminbi. Although it is currently pegged to the dollar, meaning you will just tread water with it for now, should it be revalued in the next few years it will likely go up by 50% or more. The major risks are a world wide down turn in the economy and the possibility that the US will go to war with China. I think it's a good play for the next decade anyways.

27 Thanks Greg, My oldest daughter is dangerously close to college age and the education mutual fund is dangerously under funded. Sort of like an airline pension plan. I was hoping Finn could give me a sure thing based on the special gifts he has. I am paying Catholic school tuition for 3 kids and putting away money for college is tough. YÂ’all have a good weekend

28 I predict europrices dropping until the constitution and support issues are dealt with, after which the euro-dollar buying rate will go up to 2$:1€, so buy millions of euros when the price reaches 0.8$:1€ and you double your money in 2 months or less. (prediction 85% accurate, fortune teller takes no responsibility for monetary losses)

29 Greg, I agree that the smearing of Steven Hatfill is outrageous, not only has he been "convicted" in the press, he has also lost jobs, and the respect of his community and has been referred to over and over again as the #1 suspect even though there is nothing to link him to the crime other than his former employers projects for the U.S Government. FBI agents even ran over his foot for Christ's sake. I doubt he will ever get a formal apology, even if he did it would not get the press coverage that made him the lead suspect, thus it would be worthless.

30 Welcome back Greg. The visitors we've been getting over the past few days make you seem reasonable by comparison. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more reasonable. Just remember to behave or it's back to the basement for you!

32 Definitely doesn't belong here, but Brad was wondering about the mental health check ups at 09:46 AM.

33 Thanks Improbulus, Good to be back. I'll try to behave.

34 What I would like to know is why in the Hell don't we ship back not just these two, but every sorry ass illegal alien who we can get our hands on. Isn't the definition of Illegal alien one who is not in the country legally. Kick their ass back home and charge that country the transportion fee.

1 I'm not surprised you got that much attention. You keep hitting the nail on the head and people notice. Keep up the great work.

2 Thanks, Rusty. When do we get our money???

3 Well done Rusty. Strong work as usual! M.W.

4 Darth-Rove says you are a good minion.

5 "it took a Jawa to make Kos the bitch." Can we get that on a t-shirt?

6 How do you say "Who's your dadday now?" in Jawanese?

7 Yankee: I know what you mean. I'm getting visuals too. ACK.

8 Not a surprise he's got a Sand People fetish.....

9 It's high time for the Leftazoids to put up or shut up. They need to either choose the side of America, which would be first, or drop their idiotic "we support America" and just say it loud. Notice how few of them left for other countries after the election, like they promised? Soros didn't join a monastary, did he? They are all a bunch of scumbag America haters.

10 i hope that more and more Americans wake up to the clear and present danger that the leftist liberals and their terrorist allies make up to the USA , really the entire planet....nothing like a good wake up call

11 Thanks all!

12 Actually, we were getting spammed. It was just unfortunate that we were getting spammed at the same time your real trackbacks were coming through.

13 Leftofascist Daily Kos has deleted my comments and then blacklisted my IP just for questioning their asinine "peak oil" theory. If you simply say there is 8 times as much oil in Alberta (oil sands at $20 extraction cost) as there is in Saudi Arabia - they will black list you.

14 64 Trackbacks went through. I actually had so many trackbacks that our system thought we were getting spammed and shut the trackback function down several times. Dozens of other links with no trackbacks, including Glenn Reynolds, Hugh Hewitt, Roger L. Simon and Andrew Sullivan......thanks for forwarding the post to the bigwhigs folks!

15 Two lessons to be learned from this. First, a lot of people are fed up with the Left's comparisons of the U.S. to genocidal regimes and are outraged at their moral equivocation.
