“Bad Guys”
In an old movie starring Stephanie Zimbalist she refers to “bad guys.” Another character says, “Bad Guys? That’s Bureau talk.”
Fast forward a couple of decades and we find CBS, ABC, Fox and NBC all mouthing FBI Bureau talk.
The American newsmedia – largely owned and controlled by members or buddies of the Military Industrial Complex – has deteriorated into propagandists for the Bush administration’s Warmongering, crusading and unrelenting efforts to turn American and the world into a global police state,
The networks talking heads use infantile language to steer the drugged-out zombie minds of the American public. Anyone who resists American imperialism, oil snatching or regime change (i.e., replacing one Arab puppet with new ones) is called a “bad guy.”
If Americans were not high on prozac, cocaine, methamphetamine and Angelina Jolie, they’d be insulted to be spoken to as if they were pre-schoolers.
A sober people would demand historical analysis, various points of view and some perspective on why guerrillas risk their lives to oppose the American war machine.
But the networks known the American public doesn’t have the sense the Congelese have. They, at least, rioted in the streets when somebody tried to steal their election. Americans merely wined about moving to Canada when the Bush-CIA-New World Order stole their elections… twice!
Check out the Sunday morning kindergarten shows: Face the Nation, This Week and Meet the Press. Like Washington versions of Access Hollywood they bombard us with the same liars week after week. Condoleeza Rise, Joe Biden, John McCain and the rest. Instead of presenting different views, they present the neocon opinion (“Kill ‘em all now and then kill their ghosts”) and the “liberal” view (“kill most of them, but only after we form an international coalition – and let the coalition kill the rest of them. But, please, not their ghosts”) … and pretend that’s balance reporting.
They let the spindoctors get away without coming close to answering the questions presented. They just provide a platform for Rice and the rest to blather on and on ad nauseum.
And most of the time they book the same administration liar on all four shows.
So who are the “bad guys?” When most of the world hears the phrase they think of Bush, Blair, Rice and Rumsfeld, Wolfawitz, Sharon and Gonzalez.
They’ve got the bodies to prove it.

Caroline Kennedy Must Be Crazy
He doesn’t have long to live so I’d better tell the truth about him before it’d be bad taste to do so.
Gerald Ford did more to destroy American democracy than any American alive.
But Caroline Kennedy was dumb enough to give Ford the “Profiles in Courage Award,” named after her father’s prize-winning book.
Gerald Ford was the go-to guy on the Warren Commission whose sole purpose was to cover up all the facts about who assassinated Caroline’s daddy and why.
According to Nixon, the purpose of the Watergate burglary was to protect “the Bay of Pigs mess” from being exposed.
“Bay of Pigs mess” as Nixonspeak for the Kennedy assassination since to Tricky Dick, JFK.s murder grew out of his botching of the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba.
Since JFK’s little brother, Bobby, was hell-bent on tracking down the killers, Bobby got offed too.
And Caroline awarded the guy who covered up her daddy’s death and, by so doing, put her uncle’s head on the chopping block.
What in the world was she thinking?
But old Ford didn’t stop there. When Nixon needed a “mechanic” to fix his own Watergate mess he made Ford Vice President. When Ford became President he pardoned Nixon before he could even be indicted. And not just for Watergate, Nixon was pardoned for any act he’d ever committed during his entire life.
Thus the truth of Watergate, the Bay of Pigs, why Nixon was in Dallas on November 22nd 1963, the secret government he and the Dulles brothers and Howard Hughes formed in the ‘50’s were all buried forever and no one would ever have to answer for their treason under oath.
When she was a silly teen Caroline use to go dancing with my cousin, Sterling St. Jaques. Maybe she left her common sense on the floor at Studio 54.

Why The Bush Mullahs Fiddled
While New Orleans Drowned
By

To comprehend the core of the Bush administration you’ve got to have a clear understanding of the radical Christian right-wingers who control the White House and much of America’s domestic and foreign policy.
There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the mullahs in Iran and the ayatollahs who own and control the executive branch.
Both tingle over an apocalyptic end of the world. Both are incapable of even considering a different point of view. Both arrogantly believe they should determine what behaviour is moral. Both lust over the ability to punish – in God’s name – those they deem to be sinners. Both profess to adhere to a literal interpretation of their holy books. Both would sooner burn in hell than acquiesce to the notion of the separation of Church and State’.
But the Persian clerics had no role to play in Katrina, so our focus properly turns upon their cousins in Washington, in FEMA and Homeland Security.
When you win (or steal) an election, a revolution or a war you get to put your kind of people into powerful positions, usually (but not always) beneath the level of cabinet officer, but near enough to wield real power.
They can make the trains run on time.
Or … not as the case may be.
The Christian cultists who permeate Bush’s White House saw New Orleans as the new San Francisco, i.e., the gay capitol of the increasingly integrated South.
As such they viewed New Orleans – with its pagan Mardi Gras, its mixed race Creole children and its affinity for all things French – in purely biblical terms. It was “the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
When Katrina pounded the Crescent City the Bush administration was paralyzed – not because they didn’t have resources or ability.
They were paralyzed because they had to wait for marching orders from the Pied Pipers on the religious right to issue the appropriate Fatwas on the 700 and other clubs.
You see, the administration true believers very sincerely wondered if Katrina was quite literally an act of God whose purpose was to chastise those reprobates and cleanse the sacred south of promiscuity, dancing and sex without guilt.
But the Mullahs were, themselves, caught unprepared. How, oh how, do we spin this? If we say what we really believe everyone will call us heartless fanatics. And we’re just getting people to forget that Pat Roberson put a hit out on Hugo Chavez. Hey, let’s lead the Katrina relief effort. Let’s pray on TV, send cameras to Girt Town and the Ninth Ward, and show the merciful side of the evangelical movement. Yeah… that’s the ticket. And think of the donations we can raise. My God! Katrina’s not a curse, God no! It’s a blessing!”
It took some days before they worked out the P.R. kinks and that, and only that, is why FEMA sat idle while New Orleans sunk.
They were waiting for the play to get phoned down from the offensive coordinators in the booth.
The total mismanagement of Katrina illustrates why there must be a vast, oceanic separation of Church from State. Church cripples State. And State pollutes Church.
Katrina’s paralysis should have kicked off a purge of Soviet proportions.
Bush has to begin to wonder what good the Christian Mullahs are doing him.
They thwarted his choice for Supreme Court. They pushed him into a nonsensical war with Iraq. They are costing him the midterm elections. They usurped his power as commander in chief so that he couldn’t mobilize his troops against Katrina until they said it was a go.
Now they have the nerve to threaten the president with “not getting out the base” to vote in the next election for not getting their way with stem cells.
This lame duck has but one option if he wants to regain control of his administration: throw the bastards out.
They’re a very real threat to our national security.
