It'll be on my TV show on the Bust-a-Gut Network. Check your local listings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will purchase some scratch-off lottery tickets from the gas station. I'll scratch them off on-camera while saying nice things. It's like we all get to open our presents together. The denomination of the ticket will be in direct proportion to the quantity and/or vehemence of the things I have said about them over the past year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the working list of the people I will buy lottery tickets for, and the denomination of the ticket:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dennis Miller: $1 (He can handle himself. He's probably changed his ways anyway.)&lt;br /&gt;Joseph Lieberman: $1 (For that Heeberman crack.)&lt;br /&gt;Stephen Colbert: $1 (I once intemperately told him he could eat it.)&lt;br /&gt;Jon Stewart: $2 (He's had to stand by while I do all my Jew material.)&lt;br /&gt;Michael Chertoff: $5 (He is in possession of his own soul.)&lt;br /&gt;Michael Mukasey: $10 (He's taken more of a drubbing sooner than anyone really should have to.)&lt;br /&gt;Alberto Gonzales: $10 (I think you got caught up in some things that your nature did not prepare you to deal with.)&lt;br /&gt;George Bush: $20 (This is the physically largest ticket and has all the shiny scratch-off stuff and the multiple games per card. You can win up to a million dollars on these, I think.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will inscribe a personal note on each card in private and mail it to the person in question. I will also include any winnings. That will be my gift to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So keep an eye open.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

To protect you all from Al Qaeda --the ones who caused this whole thing, you know.

Let the trial begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now there has been a major development on this front. No one took seriously    the defense's motion, made a few months ago, that they be allowed to subpoena    Condoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, National Security Council chief Stephen Hadley,    and a whole platoon of government officials and former officials. The motion    was made on the grounds that &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/21/AR2006042101648_pf.html"&gt;these    officials&lt;/a&gt;, too, had transmitted classified information to AIPAC, and that    this is proof that such behavior was and is routine, part of the normal way    of doing business in the world of Washington lobbyists. The defendants' case    has always been that they have a &lt;a href="http://www.nysun.com/article/37732"&gt;First    Amendment right&lt;/a&gt; to commit espionage, and that their indictment amounted    to a government assault on their right to "free speech." Gee, too    bad &lt;a href="http://www.crimelibrary.com/rosen/rosenmain.htm"&gt;the Rosenbergs&lt;/a&gt;    never thought of this unique rationalization for treason, although I doubt it    would've gotten them anywhere. The AIPAC defendants, however, may have more    luck in this department…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No judge had ever allowed such a thing, at least in recent memory, and no one    expected Judge Ellis to look favorably on this request. That he &lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/919822.html"&gt;granted&lt;/a&gt;    the defense motion in all but a few cases is bad news for the government – and    good news for &lt;a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html"&gt;the Israel    lobby&lt;/a&gt;, which may just be spared the embarrassment of having its essential    nature as a &lt;a href="http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=4178"&gt;fifth column&lt;/a&gt;    for Israel exposed to the light of day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/trial-for-two-israeli-spies-may-be-thwarted/"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may not like to hear it, but I will tell you that Israel is in complete control of your federal government. This nut has to be cracked. I hear a whisper on the wind that the defense has proceeded along lines such that they intend to "raise the stakes" by promising to bring out information that would bring down the United States Government if this case is permitted to proceed. USG LLC is crashing anyway. So let the trial proceed and let us all see Israel's role in the destruction of the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel's forces operate in the dark. Want to reclaim lawful government? Just turn on the light. It's that simple.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

A TDR is an electronic device that lets you troubleshoot a length of cable. You hook it up to one end of a cable and it sends a signal down it. Since it knows the speed of light, and since you tell it what the composition of the cable is, it will tell you how long a span of cable is, whether it is passing all the energy properly, etc. It does this by counting how long it takes for a reflection to come back to it. (Energy gets reflected back down the cable when it hits an "interface" like a break in the cable or the natural end of the cable.) The TDR has a display that shows you all this information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TDRs are a bit expensive. We did not have one at the shop where I worked, which was too bad because they can save you lots of time in troubleshooting a failed length of cable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember at this one hotel, which was spread out among two dozen buildings, we had buried cable amounting to several miles' worth. Gardeners were forever digging up our cables or nicking them. When you nick a cable or perhaps introduce moisture into it, the cable will selectively not work: Some channels may be fine while others are not. Or perhaps the "channels" that carry the internet data may flake out. Wholesale cable failures are easy to spot; cable flakiness is more difficult to pinpoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we had this one problem that was causing massive amounts of lost revenue because none of our technicians could pinpoint the fault in the cable. We had six guys working on the problem for a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My boss knew that I personally owned a TDR. I bought it as an investment in my trade. It would enable me to pinpoint the location of the fault in less than thirty seconds. We could have guys with shovels dig up that failed span of cable and re-splice it and have it fixed in an hour. My boss also knew that I would be happy to put my TDR to use to fix such a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Chris, I'd like you to come out and meet up with us to fix that outside plant problem at site fourteen nine seven seven. I need you there at eight."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a cable man, I was never even out of bed at eight. "I'll see you there at eleven. How's that sound?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah. ...Alright, then. ...Sounds good."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it might.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get it?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

But he has not been charged with any offenses.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/09/washington/09gitmo.html?_r=1&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The Times is doing its readers a disservice. They are disseminating demonstrably false information. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;could not have been&lt;/span&gt; the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two reasons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fire did not collapse the World Trade Center towers. The proffered model of the collapse is the "pancake theory," wherein the supporting clips gave way that connect the floors to the inner support columns and the outer perimeter members. Here's a graphic: &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3DXdHOKrx8/R1vQnfgv3uI/AAAAAAAAAAs/QeMqRW2Sz1c/s1600-h/fig5.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f3DXdHOKrx8/R1vQnfgv3uI/AAAAAAAAAAs/QeMqRW2Sz1c/s320/fig5.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141932776465882850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is the model employed by NIST. (While my detractors study the matter by watching television, I prefer to read. Not to mention that I believe nothing that anyone tells me. I'm funny that way.) The model says that the angle clips failed upon becoming heated by the fire, they let go, and one floor collapsed upon another and another, all the way down. Just one problem: What happened to the inner core? The inner core exists for a reason: It is what supports the building. The pancake theory is the equivalent of stripping the leaves from a fern with your fingers. The stem remains. How did the core magically fall right down?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We've got people who would be in the know who plainly state that 9-11 was executed by the CIA and Mossad, and that foreign intelligence services knew this from the start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, obviously, KSM could not have masterminded the 9-11 attacks. (Unless he and his merry band of malcontents somehow secreted demolitions charges into the buildings over the course of weeks. But then... If they knew they would need demolitions charges to collapse the buildings, and if they had expertly managed to evade building security for those weeks, then why go to the trouble of flying non-relevant planes into the buildings? Hmm? As a show?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what possible reason on earth would someone have for writing the demonstrably false phrase, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only possible answer is this: "Because that's what the government man told me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As time goes on, the phrase &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks&lt;/span&gt; just becomes more outlandish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's like reading the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Orange juice --the primary export of the Moon People-- has been proven to be an important part of your diet. Researchers today said that..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orange juice doesn't come from the moon. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was not the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The statements are equally asinine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the New York Times is telling me that orange juice comes from the Moon People, what else in that paper is suspect?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

It is well within the technology of the day to obscure the faces and voices of the interrogators. Surely they sell the software at Circuit City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CIA knows this. And they know that everyone else knows this. Therefore, they knew that they would receive heat for insulting their audience's intelligence by claiming this excuse. ...And that is damning enough...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, logically, the heat they expected to receive from a public viewing of the tapes far exceeded the heat they knew they would take for destroying them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those tapes contained a record of CIA behavior so morally reprehensible that their airing would destroy the CIA and open its employees up to charges of war crimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now: If the ostensible purpose of "enhanced interrogation" is to extract information useful in the prosecution of the War on Globa Terra...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if they destroyed all record of the extraction of that information...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then their concern for their own safety eclipses their concern for the War on Globa Terra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not the height of courage, I'd say. ...Or maybe the War on Globa Terra isn't the pressing matter that it's represented to be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush Administration destroyed itself. The Justice Department destroyed itself. And now the CIA has destroyed itself. They all destroyed themselves by exposing a complete lack of moral authority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you lose moral authority --that is, when you lose the right to command without eliciting an involuntary bark of laughter-- you lose political authority. And through that loss, you lose legal authority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the United States exists because why?

There's a conspiracy in the land—what he calls a "conspiracy of ideas"—to give up America's sovereignty. It's a shadowy scheme that begins with the NAFTA "superhighway," a road as wide as several football fields that will link Mexico, the United States and Canada. "They don't talk about it and they might not admit it," Paul said at the CNN-YouTube presidential debate last week. He didn't say exactly who "they" are, but perhaps one can guess. "They're planning on [taking] millions of acres … by eminent domain," warned the prickly libertarian. But elected government officials aren't acting alone. There's "an unholy alliance of foreign consortiums and officials from several governments" pushing the idea, Paul wrote in October 2006. "The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union—complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only it's not true. The main purveyor of this broad conspiracy theory is Jerome Corsi, coauthor of "Unfit for Command," the book that helped Swift Boat John Kerry's presidential ambitions. His latest offering is "The Late Great U.S.A.: The Coming Merger With Mexico and Canada," which became a best seller on The New York Times's business list this summer. Corsi plays on growing nationalist fears. He sees a scenario in which a North American Union is born and shares a currency, the "amero." Even some right-wing standard-bearers regard the fears as over-blown. Jed Babbin, editor of the conservative newspaper Human Events, says: "I guess there are people who believe in [the plan for a North American Union]. But there are people who believe in Bigfoot." "The evidence is out there," says Corsi.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/73372"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now contrast that with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The Ministry of &lt;a id="KonaLink3" target="_top" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59105#"&gt;Infrastructure&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and Transportation in Alberta, Canada, has posted on its website a trade corridor map that shows a NAFTA Superhighway clearly designated in the same route, including Interstate Highways 35, 29 and 94, that the &lt;a href="http://www.nascocorridor.com/pages/about/about.htm"&gt;North America's SuperCorridor Coalition, or NASCO&lt;/a&gt;, designates as the I-35 NAFTA Superhighway.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59105"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would seem obvious, but apparently it needs stating. Ahem:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When anything can be found out in 0.32 seconds on the internet, one runs the risk of being exposed as a fraud when you print things that are so easily disproved. This isn't 1960 anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know we're talking Newsweek here, but still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's tighten it up a little over there, boys. I'll be embarrassed for you if I ever see a photo of Bat Boy on the cover of your magazine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newsweek works for people who are scared numb over Ron Paul. ...I guess he's over the target, what with all the fire he's taking...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

They will nakedly just round people up and declare exigent circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neutralize these individuals by assembling evidence of Israeli involvement in 9-11. Then you will obstruct any orders issued by those individuals. (Lose paperwork, misroute orders, decline to execute orders, etc.) You will not face reprisals because you will raise the stakes: You will threaten to go public with your evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mop-up is underway. It is an extremely simple and straightforward operation if everyone is on the same page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;State Governments: Be prepared to ignore all instructions from Washington. Be prepared to arrest federal agents in your territories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal Law Enforcement: Identify all Jews with Israeli citizenship who work in the federal government. Be prepared to arrest them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United States Military: Be prepared to decapitate the Israeli government. Eliminate any Israeli influence in your operations. Identify all Jews in the Pentagon who hold dual citizenship with Israel. Be prepared to arrest them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an extra-legal situation and it requires devising your own rules.

Foxman, ADL National Director.  "Schools and governments have the responsibility to ensure that they maintain respectful, open and welcoming environments for all of their community members.   Whatever they do, they cannot favor one religion over another."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adl.org/PresRele/RelChStSep_90/5183_90.htm"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, Abe...

They had no idea at the time the call wasn't real and that Williams is hearing impaired.  Without his hearing aid he is basically deaf.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"I kept going to my ear yelling that I was scared.  I can't hear!  I can't hear!"&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Officers were worried about their own safety because at the time it appeared Williams was refusing to obey their commands to show his hands.

Like the handcuffed woman in the police station who got tased simply for not complying with some instruction. See? It's not to enable the cops to safely subdue someone. It's to force compliance at the threat of pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember: If you allow someone to place a pair of handcuffs on you, you will be tortured.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But PPU USov is designed to be the gold standard of PPUs. We'd hire the best while these Wichita cops would be working Wal-Mart where they belong.

The reason was quite simple: to force ...              the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p class="subhead"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="subhead"&gt;&lt;a href="http://prisonplanet.com/articles/december2007/120407_common_knowledge.htm"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="subhead"&gt;There are a few requirements that intelligence service agents must meet in order to be able to accurately assess political situations:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't shit yourself (at least not regularly.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't watch TV or read the newspaper (or if you do, do it knowing that it's all lies.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't solicit the opinion of the moron at the VFW.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try, whenever possible, to employ facts, logic, and reason in your analysis.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;So, yes, intelligence services would be in a position to know these things.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

Pick one, but the creative type cannot have both. (Or, at least, I cannot. It doesn't work that way for me. You want the crazy? Then I have to be in a state of mind that permits the crazy; crazy at a technology company doesn't cut it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pay real money, in lost wages from a real job, to carry on this show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are my professional goals? To get a TV show? To have a fashion line? No; my professional goal is to finally get booed off the stage so that I can stop this life-draining show. What started out as a lark has completely consumed me. Trust me: I would like nothing more than to get on with my life. I want to make real money and date, neither of which I can do while carrying on this show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what you will do:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will open up your wallet and take out a twenty-dollar bill. (Or a ten. Or a five. I don't care; just make some kind of effort. I just want some sign that I'm not playing to "friends" who come over to my house just to eat the snacks and wipe their cheese-flavoring fingers on the arms of the couch and then go home. Because if that's all it means to anyone then we'll all just agree to call it a good run and just stop.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So open the wallet. Take out a twenty. Put it in an envelope. Mail it to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris King&lt;br /&gt;PO Box 138&lt;br /&gt;Westminster Station, VT 05159&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not do this, then you are not welcome in my show. Stop reading my material. You're not doing me any favors by reading me. Again, remember my professional goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you fail to donate yet continue to read my material, then know that you are a freeloader. You are instructed to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot afford to pay for a 5000-seat venue when I have only fifty paying customers. I'd rather spring for a fifty-seat venue and have a more intimate show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's simple economics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a computer guy. Comedy in no way figures into my career plans. This show is not an investment in my future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This show is a revenue sink. And it had better stop costing me money or I will terminate it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

Problem solved.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;For now, the only refuge for gay people is in a nondescript building on the outskirts of downtown. Project Wow, as it is called, is a no-frills drop-in center run by the North Jersey Community Research Initiative, an organization that devotes most of its resources to research on AIDS drugs and free medical care. Project Wow draws a few dozen young people each night who come for counseling and H.I.V. prevention advice but mostly for the camaraderie and shelter from the city’s unsympathetic streets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alex Williams, Project Wow’s director, asked that the center’s location not be printed, noting that 15 of the center’s employees and clients had been attacked on their way to or from the building in the last six months. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sitting in the lounge at the center, Tariq Pickens, 23, recalled how he and a friend dressed in drag were ambushed on the street by a group of men and women three years ago. During a few hellish moments, he said, they were slashed, punched, robbed and doused with lighter fluid, although the fuel failed to ignite. “I’ve had so many friends killed, beaten, raped, I can’t even count,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/02/nyregion/02newark.html?pagewanted=2&amp;amp;ref=todayspaper"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've got a nice berm out back that I use as a backstop for target practice. When you can shoot the top of a beer bottle off with a .40 at fifty feet, I guess you're doing okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Vermont --where police coverage can be thin-- a landowner will mark his territory by being quite visible about his target practice. However Johnny Dirty-Foot may feel about the queers, he will quickly check his bravery upon hearing frequent shotgun blasts and rifle shots coming from your property.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's like an invisible fence. Displaying one's professional training in the moral and technical use of firearms keeps everyone on their best behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;'s biography that gets the most attention is not his race but his connections to the Muslim world. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Since declaring his candidacy for president in February, Obama, a member of a congregation of the &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/United+Church+of+Christ?tid=informline" target=""&gt;United Church of Christ&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Chicago?tid=informline" target=""&gt;Chicago&lt;/a&gt;, has had to address assertions that he is a Muslim or that he had received training in Islam in &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Indonesia?tid=informline" target=""&gt;Indonesia&lt;/a&gt;, where he lived from ages 6 to 10. While his father was an atheist and his mother did not practice religion, Obama's stepfather did occasionally attend services at a mosque there. &lt;/p&gt;Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.) is a Muslim, a "Muslim plant" in a conspiracy against America, and that, if elected president, he would take the oath of office using a Koran, rather than a Bible, as did &lt;a href="http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/e000288/" target=""&gt;Rep. Keith Ellison&lt;/a&gt; (D-Minn.), the only Muslim in Congress, when he was sworn in earlier this year.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/28/AR2007112802757.html?nav=hcmodule"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is another thing that would appear not to matter, considering that Israel flew planes into the World Trade Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Again, to be fair: It was Israel's intelligence services, its American sayanim, and compartmentalized elements of American intelligence and the military that did it. But Israel's involvement is certain. Thus, the "Israel did it" line of argument is valid enough for Johnny Dirty-Foot.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So since Israel Did It, can we stop talking about Muslims now? Good. Thought so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And should you ever wish to play that one to the fullest, you can pull that card out during any dispute with a Jew. For example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Broncos [or whoever] are so going all the way this year!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Doubt it. And by the way, how's your homeland doin'?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I need the day off so that I can go to Temple.

Ha ha. You got me. But you people can still eat it.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Unitary Executive Theory goes something like this: "In addition to the powers painstakingly enumerated to me in the Constitution, I ACTUALLY get to do anything that might be required of me to "protect the country" during wartime or whatever. (It's a good thing we've got a war going on!) So I get to legislate in addition to executing. The Framers went to all that trouble and spilled all that ink in Article One for nothing. Maybe they just didn't understand the Unitary Executive Theory."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, I've got my own signing statements. I get to judge all legislation against my inherent responsibility to see that my political power not be expressed in a manner that runs counter to some universal sense of propriety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;...And very little passes muster...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two can play this game, you know. It's called the "Let's All Decide What Laws We'll Obey" game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

(They have a deli there and I don't cook, so it's a match made in heaven.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plain truth is that I've been fattening up over the past few months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's it like to have a pot belly?... I'm looking forward to finding out what it's like. I now have a belly that I can satisfiedly rub and croon over and whisper to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I want you all to enjoy my plump little belly with me.

You know, little electrons orbiting a nucleus. As a model, it works well enough to explain it to freshmen. But that's not really what happens...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "Israel did it" model works well enough. If you had to finger one culprit to the dirty-footed man in the street, you would finger Israel. Muslims had nothing to do with 9-11. Jews did. The model is more true than it is false. (And therein lies the real danger to you.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But like the planetary model of atomic structure, this is an oversimplification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was actually the Military-Industrial-Banking Complex. (Also known as the New World Order.) But this is too complicated for Johnny Dirty-Foot to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still not sure exactly who comprises this cabal, but there are many interlocking "families" within this crime syndicate. The Bush family is one. (You will recall Prescott Bush's Nazi connections.) George Bush is a satanist. You will find many photos of him flashing the "devil's horns" hand sign. Skull and Bones is a satanic organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also a satanic "Jewish" lineage to this cabal. I'm not yet clear on this, but the Sabbateans and Frankists keep popping up. Whoever it turns out to be, you know full well who I'm talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This dark sect that walks among you fried your brothers in Hitler's ovens so that they could have the boo-hoo points to form Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have benefited greatly by allowing this sect to insinuate itself among your people. And you have been content to look the other way when they get up to their tricks. You figured you would profit. Get good jobs, receive favorable treatment, get a TV show, take part in the pity party. To this extent, you are complicit in their crimes. You have a symbiotic relationship with this band of thieves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But far from profiting by an association with them, it has cost you much. You have defiled yourselves in allowing them to act in your name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have proven yourselves to be a singularly disgusting people. You're a global punch line now. And just wait until the thug on the subway learns that "Israel did it." The secret is out: You're just a bunch of grunting pigs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You now have my permission to go to the restroom, hunch over the toilet, and vomit. And why not? You make the rest of us want to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You cannot become well until you first know how sick you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vomit like you've never vomited before. Get rid of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;...And take my hand, my Beautiful Ones... Your enslavement is over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

When you are proven to be a fraud, you lose moral authority. When you lose moral authority, you lose political and legal authority. (You can't much enforce laws when people give an involuntary bark of laughter in your face.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a retarded man in my town who wears only shirtsleeves in the winter and cuts his hair strange and makes whooping noises and gives the finger to passing cars. He's a laughingstock. He told me once that he was the King of Bellows Falls and that I had to do what he said. I just smiled amusedly and continued on about my business, kind of like when I got a letter from the IRS telling me that they wanted some money. (Please suck it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm getting tired of using air quotes whenever I have to talk about the "government." When you have to use air quotes just to talk about a thing, I'm pretty sure the thing doesn't exist anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's all "respect" the "edicts" of the "government" and the "professionals" "working" within it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

McCain responded to Paul's comments moments later. "I've heard him now in many debates talking about bringing out troops home, and about the war in Iraq and how it's failed. "And I want to tell you," he said, facing Paul, "that kind of isolationism, sir, is what caused World War II...we allowed Hitler to come to power with that kind of attitude of isolationism and appeasement." McCain, who spent Thanksgiving in Iraq, told Paul that the troops' message was "let us win."   &lt;p&gt;"The real question you have to ask is why do I get the most money from active-duty officers -- military personnel," Paul responded. "I'm not an isolationist."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2007/GOP_rivals_square_off_in_YouTube_1128.html"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;OK: Hitler was bad, right? Why? He stuffed some people into ovens and launched wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American "isolationism" --which is a pejorative term to describe the condition of the United States minding its own business and performing its assigned, lawful function-- did not cause people to get stuffed into ovens or wars to get launched. German legal mechanisms did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitler might have been the nicest guy in the world. It makes no difference. The problem was the legal mechanisms that the man had access to. An evil, nefarious, diabolical man is just another street person if he doesn't have access to legal mechanisms. You put the DMV lady in charge of those kinds of legal mechanisms and the same thing would result. Power corrupts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem was the legal mechanisms. The problem was the size of government. ...The precise ingredients to disaster that exist here in America, might I add.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(And are we finally over the whole Hitler marketing? It's one side effect of the "Israel did it" revelation: "I couldn't give a shit less what Hitler did to the Jews; I'm more concerned about what Israel did to America.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm just asking for a little intellectual rigor around here. I know we're talking Americans, 2007. But still, we can make an effort.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

The theory elegantly weaves old fears and new realities into one coherent and all-encompassing plan, and gives a glimpse of where, politically, many Americans are right now: alarmed over immigration, worried about globalization, and - on both sides of the partisan divide - suspicious of the Bush administration's expansive understanding of executive power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2007/11/25/the_amero_conspiracy/?p1=email_to_a_friend"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can no political position ever be maintained without it being attributed to "fear," "alarm," or "worry?" Maybe we just don't like the idea of the Globe's penny-shining masters fashioning a new political entity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the gas station we carry the Rutland Herald, The Brattleboro Reformer, the Eagle Times, The Hartford Courant, the Boston Globe, the New York Post, the New York Times, and USA Today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of each day it is part of my clean-up duties to catalog all the unsold newspapers so that we can get credit for them. It is a yellow piece of paper with all the newspapers listed and a column for each day of the week. In each column you write the number received and a slash and the number returned. Here is what a typical week's credit slip looks like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember: 3/2 means 3 received, 2 returned for credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..............................Mon      Tues     Wed     Thur     Fri       Sat      Sun&lt;br /&gt;Rut.

I can fill out the sheet even without inventorying the remainders. Because I know that we receive three each day. And three will go back. Why? I don't know why. But I did read the paper once. (I have plenty of time.) I will say that outside of the arts section, nothing in that paper makes any sense. Maybe that's why. Those Vermont rubes seem to have caught on to it.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="continued"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

Asked whether Mr. Carlson was also part of that brand, Mr. Griffin replied: "He is right now."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Not exactly a vote of confidence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.observer.com/2007/msnbc-hedges-carlsons-future"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Tucker Carlson is a good boy. And I don't call him that dismissively. I mean to say that he is old enough to be taken seriously but young enough to bring some new perspective to things. It's a pretty good place to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I disagree with some of what he says, but those are neocon retard talking points pushed on him by someone. And he certainly will not benefit by his association with that filth-monger Bill Kristol and that garbage neocon rag The Weekly Standard. If he's smart, he'll ditch them; they're using his fresh, unsullied face to push their bilge. The whole warmongering, lying neocon filth machine has jumped the shark. And any who continue to shill for them have long-since missed their train transfer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have read elsewhere that MSNBC considers its new "brand" to be "liberal" --or whatever. It appears that they wish to move in that direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NBC is My Ho Network. I am protective toward them and do not wish to see misfortune befall them. So my suggestions go much further than the precipitating rumor regarding Tucker Carlson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ignore the deformed brain children of your marketing types. They have no idea what they're talking about. Let me tell you where the future lies: It's not in identifying yourselves as liberal or conservative. That is a false paradigm. "Divide and conquer," remember?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans are fed up with the whole left-right bullshit. That's why you see more people identifying as politically independent or even Libertarian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberals are almost as stupid as conservatives. Libertarians get a big, ol' belly laugh out of watching them try to make sense. The only reason why I watch MSNBC is because they push less bullshit than anyone else. They appear to be the channel of reason. Facts, rational thinking, and reason prevail there --for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I want bullshit, I'll watch Fox news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberal claptrap is just more bullshit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You rebrand yourselves as "liberal" and you'll just be a mirror image of Fox. ...And I'll just completely turn television news off --as will plenty of other viewers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have time in my life for sifting through bullshit talking points, be they liberal or conservative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is interesting and compelling and engaging enough. Don't brand yourselves as "liberal" or "conservative" or whatever else. Just deliver reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have an appetite for reason and change. Give it to them. You will make money. Is that clear enough for your marketing geniuses?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

DO NOT do it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In furtherance of our talks to include yours among our stable of edgy comedy shows, we have had our attorneys, advertisers, and focus groups mark up your proposed material. Our suggested changes follow:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your joke reads, "Hey. How come Congressmen are even still alive? Shouldn't we just kill them all immediately and drag their stinking corpses around Capitol Hill and hang their entrails from lampposts as a warning to incoming freshmen? ...That would clean up Washington pretty quick, don't you think?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, we suggest the following: "Hey. What's with the, uh, elephant symbol for the, um, Republicans? His trunk looks like a trumpet or something! Doo da doo! He's the bugler of freedom...freedom to suck a guy off in the bathroom! Ha ha ha!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now don't you think that's funny? And safe? Just change your act up a little bit. That's all we're asking. Don't disturb people. It's the secret to playing to worker drones whose lives are thrown into disarray when their favorite shows are preempted by ten minutes. "Know your audience," that's what we in the biz say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We like your avant garde sense of race humor. But this one didn't pass our Knitting Moms focus group: "What's with all those Jews and their fangs plunged into the heart of this country?! Shouldn't we thrust a rifle in their hands so that they can fight all the wars they gin up? ...Now that's funny... Jews getting their hands dirty. ...They'd probably need a field therapist in addition to their MRE's."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We suggest the following, which still captures your edgy, rapier wit: "Those Jews... Can't stand 'em... When I'm at the movies, there's always one of 'em sitting down right in front of me... And who can see through that yarmulke of theirs?! ...Am I right? ...Can I hear it?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you can incorporate some of our suggestions, let us know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;Suits at Comedy Central (or Viacom or wherever we work that sucks.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; poke fun at Jon Stewart. He's a stand-up comedian. He HAS to do material. It's killing him that his show isn't on. (I would not want my show to be interrupted by events outside my control, either.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, yes, I fully understand the nature of television. There are boundaries which your material must respect. There is a trade off. Show...business. Show...business. I get that part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may work at a gas station, but I consider myself the most fortunate comedian anywhere: I get to do whatever material I want. And that is why I consider the gas station job to be a perfect fit for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And not covering some of this material is not Jon Stewart's fault. It is the nature of the medium in which he operates. His show takes place on a respectable TV channel. My show takes place in a shit-hole bar that stinks of beer and piss. One's expectations will be different. "You're complaining about the material? Why are you even in this shit-hole bar? Go somewhere respectable where you belong."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So though I may tweak his prodigious nose, know that it's out of love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

After Hussein was accused of being photographed with bomb-making equipment, evidence suggested that he was forced to stand for the photograph.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2007/AP_chief_Iraqi_photographer_detained_indefinitely_1124.html"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The US Military has conducted themselves in a singularly dishonorable fashion. They are not suited to wearing loincloths, much less a United States uniform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of a speedy, public trial is so that a man may be tried on the merits of evidence --evidence being facts that reflect reality, not staged photos. "Yup. Here I am. Just conveniently standing next to this bomb-making equipment while a guy takes my picture."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That the man has not received a trial indicates to me that there is no evidence. And if the trial must be secret, with loosened standards for evidence, this tells me that the military's case is a sham.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the new SOP, apparently: When hut dwellers have kicked your asses, lock up journalists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You have lost the war, you have lost the nation, and you have lost your honor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remove the American flag from your sleeve.

You don't curse the knife for the sharpness of the blade, as they say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can, however, find more justification in being angry at a people who, at every turn, trade upon the confidences they had built with me to plunge the shiv in and take my wallet. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Treachery + Destruction of Faith.&lt;/span&gt; Yup, that's them alright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I know that I have to temper my anger. Why? Because anger is not good for the soul or for the larger world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is something I had addressed earlier: The "informational certitude" of a thought is very close to that of 3-space reality. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;As you think, so it becomes. &lt;/span&gt;If you want a world full of love, you will love. If you want a world full of hate, you will hate.&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;When I quit that liquidation store job, I came home and roamed around muttering and positively spitting with rage. I was angrier than I had been in quite some time. Well, after about an hour of this, the mirror in the bathroom fell to the floor with a crash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mirror had hung there for two years. It hangs by a length of that braided picture wire that you buy at the hardware store. The wire is looped through an eye hook on each side. Then the wire is twisted 'round itself after it is passed through the hook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wire had unwound itself on one end, causing the mirror to fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could this have happened by itself? Certainly. If you pull hard enough on a wire that is twisted 'round itself, it will unwind. And if the wire had not been twisted enough, perhaps the inexorable pull of the earth would have achieved this by itself. These things happen all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is my job to notice things that others might overlook. I figure systems out. And then I fix them. It's what I do. I am very good at it. Make no mistake about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will tell you: One informational state leads to one of the many possible successive informational states by way of an "informational bridge." My negative thoughts --and thoughts, remember, have an informational certitude very close to that of 3-space reality-- provided that bridge to the reality in which that mirror fell. My negative thoughts provided the extra "oomph" that gravity needed to unwind that wire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One's thoughts can influence reality. Thoughts provide the bridge to the next economically plausible informational state. (And when I say "economically," I mean in the sense of energy or information --which are synonymous-- not money.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have to be very careful not to be angry --though I have every reason to be so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now: I am an intelligent, well educated, mannered, generally placid person. And I am pissed off as all hell at Jews and their precious, perfidious homeland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you expect the thug on the subway or the yahoo in the big, shiny truck to react when it becomes known that it was actually Israel and its lying minions who roam around defiling this land? Huh? ...And it &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; become known, because it's the truth. And the truth always comes out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you people have a contingency plan? And, no, more lying does not constitute a contingency plan. I'm talking about  redeeming yourselves. Do you have a plan to do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Redemption is nigh. You know that, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="src"&gt;&lt;cite&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

STEMPEL III&lt;br /&gt;Scripps Howard News Service&lt;br /&gt;Friday, November 23, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly two-thirds of Americans think it is possible that some federal officials had specific warnings of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, but chose to ignore those warnings, according to a Scripps Howard News Service/Ohio University poll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A national survey of 811 adult residents of the United States conducted by Scripps and Ohio University found that more than a third believe in a broad smorgasbord of conspiracy theories including the attacks, international plots to rig oil prices, the plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the government's knowledge of intelligent life from other worlds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The high percentage is a manifestation, some say, of an American public that increasingly distrusts the federal government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Distrust it? Who would ever do such a mean, ol' thing in light of its completely lawful behavior?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The kind of anxieties or mistrust of the government that might have been expressed as a belief in UFOs has shifted," said political science professor Jodi Dean. "Now people are worried about things that are much realer to them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Yeah. And the fact that people said, "Oh, we hear bombs going off inside the building." Not to mention the slight, niggling fact the it wasn't, um, theoretically possible for burning jet fuel to collapse a steel-framed building. But who's counting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;But one decades-old theory continues to thrive. Forty-two percent of the American public still thinks some people in the federal government might have known about the assassination of Kennedy in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm amazed that it's as high as it is," said Vincent Bugliosi, whose 1,632-page book "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" was published in May.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah. I'm amazed that Mister Buglioni, Bugliosity, whatever, didn't know that E. Howard Hunt said on his deathbed, "Oh, by the way, I was in on the Kennedy assassination."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facts are often useful when writing an article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/28533"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

But the turnabout of American fortunes in Iraq over the past several months is of equal moment -- a war seemingly lost, now winnable. The violence in &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Iraq?tid=informline" target=""&gt;Iraq&lt;/a&gt; has been dramatically reduced. Political allegiances have been radically reversed. The revival of ordinary life in many cities is palpable. Something important is happening. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; And what is the reaction of the war critics? &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Nancy+Pelosi?tid=informline" target=""&gt;Nancy Pelosi&lt;/a&gt; stoutly maintains her state of denial, saying this about the war just two weeks ago: "This is not working. . . . We must reverse it." A euphemism for "abandon the field," which is what every Democratic presidential candidate is promising, with variations only in how precipitous to make the retreat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/22/AR2007112201089.html?hpid=opinionsbox1"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm guessing that Army readiness is somewhere around twenty-five percent. The United States no longer has an army. How is this considered winning?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you invade a territory against the wishes of the armed inhabitants, you will lose. This is basic stuff. No need to attend a war college to divine this truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has been accounted that the cost of this misadventure is around two trillion dollars. I suspect that years from now, when all the figures have been added up, the final cost will be closer to ten trillion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We spent ten trillion dollars fixing things we broke while bumbling around looking for slickly marketed non-threats. And we destroyed the moral authority of the United States in the process, causing it to lose political authority and, thus, causing it to destroy itself. Strike up the band; we won!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The economics of technology make it ever more possible for rice farmers and hut dwellers to lay an army low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You walked in there. That you have risen to your knees after being flat on your backs is not a victory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I love war. I love battle. I love the spirit of the contest. This Iraqi Misadventure was launched by those who know absolutely nothing about warfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

Privacy advocates fear such a practice may expose average Americans to a new level of government scrutiny of their daily lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/22/AR2007112201444.html?hpid=topnews"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some in my audience believe me on this point, others do not: The federal "government" acts wholly in and on behalf of moneyed interests. The government isn't &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; you. You have not had lawful government since at least 1913. (When organized monetary theft was legalized with the Federal Reserve Act.) The FBI, for example, acts for bankers who hate the Liberty Dollar because they cannot counterfeit it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this "fugitives and other criminal suspects" bit? That HR 1959 bill effectively makes political dissent illegal. That makes "criminals" out of any who would express political dissent like "maybe war isn't such a good idea." This cellphone tracking makes it possible to locate someone for easy snatching off the street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "government" can designate anyone a criminal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Drug traffickers! Baby eaters! Mother humpers and father rapers! ...And, uh, other criminal suspects, like, um... you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The federal "government" operates exclusively in two modes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;As an instrument of coercion for the gain of an organized crime syndicate, while&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Throwing a few bones to the people to make them think that it works for them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Some would say, "Chris, you're silly. Aren't you being a little paranoid? You would allow your friends and family to track you by your cellphone... Why not the government? We're here to protect you... From the drugs. And the terriss."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I've heard this argument before. Just a couple differences here: One, I can turn the tracking feature off and can also decide who among my circle may track me, and, two, my friends and family do not consider gang rape and waterboarding and (forced) cum eating to be appropriate behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am willing to give friends and family a key to my house. I would not extend the same privilege to the village troglodytes, who have demonstrated themselves unsuited for polite company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government employees have conducted themselves as animals. Let them stay in the barn. But do not EVER allow them into the house.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

He tells America how it’s gonna be,” Huckabee says in the new ad. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;After cleaning up the Lone Star state as “Walker: Texas Ranger,” and fighting terrorists in “Delta Force,” Norris is taking his roundhouse kicks to the campaign trail on Huckabee’s behalf. If Norris can turn Barry Gabrewski from bully victim to karate champion, he’s certainly a good &lt;a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0105402/"&gt;“Sidekick”&lt;/a&gt; to have.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;While Norris tells viewers Huckabee’s plans to “protect our 2nd Amendment rights” and “put the IRS out of business,” the candidate shares some insights about the movie star.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“My plan to secure the border? Two words: Chuck Norris,” Huckabee says.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2007/VIDEO_GOP_Presidential_hopeful_Mike_Huckabee_1118.html"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

What's that? Say you want to put on a disgusting spectacle of excess for your precious daughter. (Preferably with ten million dollars of embezzled money.) If your disgusting spectacle costs more than $500, you pay ten percent to compensate the military for the signing bonuses of veterans who can't complete their terms due to their artificial limbs, glass eyes, and colostomy bags.&lt;/p&gt;I certainly hope no veteran has paid Dime One back. If I were to receive a such a letter, I would regard it as so out of line that it must be a clerical error of some sort. I would throw it in the trash where it belongs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

(The State cannot perform its most basic functions, so it busies itself with flashy crowd-pleasers like this.) This prohibition exists despite the fact that neither the proprietor of the bar nor the patrons may have a problem with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the absence of territory, the law has no effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The State's agents will likely try to enforce the law. I would imagine that the bar owner's PPU security will be successful in convincing the State's agents to go home without causing a scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, that's a silly law anyway."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Not to mention that you no longer have jurisdiction. There is a cost associated with not performing your assigned function, you know. Your customer is now ours. Goodbye."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in the absence of territory (a component of the definition of a "state") the states become merely PPU's, operating on a similar moral footing with any other PPU's within the territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's do a comparison, using the State of Vermont (for no particular antagonistic reason) and United Sovereigns of America:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PPU of Vermont's Customers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require permission to work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require permission to travel.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pay yearly fees equal to income, sales, and property taxes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;May not smoke in bars.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;May not grow the wonder crop and wonder food known as hemp.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Get finger-fucked on demand.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;USA's Customers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require no man's permission to work.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Require no man's permission to travel.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pay $5000 per year in fees.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Can smoke in bars, if the proprietor permits it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are free to do what they please, assuming that such action does not run counter to USA's guidelines or its Interoperability Agreements with other PPU's.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are free to drive a .45 round into the face of any who would finger-fuck them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;As you can imagine, the PPU's will siphon away the customers of the states until the states' only customers are the welfare recipients. This will cause budgetary problems. Bye bye, states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a cost associated with not performing your assigned function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Chris! This PPU scheme is unworkable! We'll have lawlessness!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think we have now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a new world, everyone. Wake up, open your eyes, and move forward. Yesterday is gone.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

(We exclude real estate and stocks and bonds and the like because, despite the value of the currency in which they are traded, they will still retain their value.) If the money supply is increased (inflated) by five percent in a year, then it would seem that five hundred thousand dollars were stolen from the people of Cootersville by the Penny Shiners and their conspirators in "government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is difficult to calculate the theft because the Penny Shiners have made the M3 figure a big secret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine: It's like the Russkies in 1950 driving tanks down the street and stealing five percent of the savings of Americans at gunpoint each year. Would you be outraged? Fractional reserve banking is just an elegant scheme of thievery. And it's less detectable by the common man than anything those nasty, ol' Russkies could dream up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would Americans' standard of living be like today if some foreign power had not been stealing a certain percentage of your wealth each year?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

First among them is that the US dollar is no longer welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With parts of the American economy in turmoil and the dollar rapidly losing its long-held position as the currency of choice, Indian authorities have calculated they are losing considerable sums of money by allowing foreign tourists to pay using greenbacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://travel.independent.co.uk/news_and_advice/article3174388.ece"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you see why the FBI wants them out of business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you sold your interest in that pig currency yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buying gold coins is easy: Pick one: American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, Pandas, or even the Liberty Dollar. The price you will pay will be somewhere around three percent above the "spot price" of gold. Go here to check out the prevailing prices: kitco.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And eventually the US "government" will make owning and trading in gold coins illegal. They'll say that the Terriss use gold coins. But what they're really doing is forbidding the use of gold coins so that their penny-shining masters' pig currency will still have some value. They'll try to seize your gold coins, so DO NOT keep them in a safe-deposit box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US "government" will brand you a terriss for owning coins.

Why? Presumably because they had the vaults and the security to protect their own gold. Customers started asking them to hold their gold for them. The goldsmith would issue a note indicating that the customer had a certain amount of gold in the goldsmith's vault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, customers soon realized that instead of needing to return to claim their gold when they wished to purchase something from a merchant, that merchant would simply accept the note. The merchant, after all, could present that note at the goldsmith and claim the gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty soon, few people were claiming the gold --which they would have to carry around and perhaps risk losing. They just passed notes among themselves. There is nothing wrong with this system. Everyone is performing admirably and honorably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ten notes in circulation indicates ten pieces of gold in the vault. Ten units of money are in circulation, ten are out of circulation. The money supply is equal to ten units of money. (In this example, there are ten notes in circulation and zero coins in circulation.) Should someone redeem a note, that note is retired (taken out of circulation) and a piece of gold is taken out of the vault and given to the customer (put into circulation.) The money supply is still equal to ten units of money, comprised of nine notes and one coin. The money supply is stable. The value of the note is stable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course there is always someone looking to steal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goldsmiths noticed that no one would find out if they issued the occasional extra note and then lent it to someone. "Hey: How about making me a low-cost loan? It won't cost you much since all you have to do is print up another note. It's not like you had to go dig up the gold or anything... Who's gonna know that I didn't deposit a coin with you?" So the goldsmith would put one additional note, one additional unit of money, into circulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's erase the blackboard and go back to the beginning and say that the money supply is ten units of money: Ten notes in circulation that represent ten coins out of circulation. Now the goldsmith issues one additional note, one additional unit of money. The money supply has been expanded by one unit of money. There are eleven notes in circulation and ten coins out of circulation. The money supply has been inflated. Who benefited? The banker (who makes interest for doing nothing) and the immediate borrower (who gets to borrow money at an interest rate that is lower than what it would cost him to borrow real money from a private person.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both parties receive real economic value from this act. But energy cannot be created or destroyed. Where did the energy come from? That energy comes from the legitimate notes, whose legitimacy this fake note has appropriated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This additional note, unbacked by anything, travels among the other notes, pretending to be worth something. And no one can really tell since the goldsmith is not going to permit anyone to take an inventory of his vault. Would the value of the notes in circulation fall? Not immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's pretend that we're talking about the money supply of a town. Cootersville. There are a hundred people in this town. They all do business with one bank. The First National Bank of Cootersville. All the townspeople have deposited their gold coins in this bank and gotten notes. (Who wants to carry around all those heavy coins?) The money supply is equal to one million units of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bank president realizes that people rarely redeem the notes for gold. He's got a buddy, a building contractor. He builds houses. He wants to borrow money from someone to build a housing complex, but people in the town are asking ten percent on their money. So the contractor asks his buddy at the bank if he could, you know, issue a few more notes. "Who's gonna know?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bank president prints up some more notes and issues them to the builder. The notes are in the amount of 100,000 units of money. They claim to represent 100, 000 pieces of gold. The banker charges an interest rate that is less than the market rate. Why? Because if he charged a rate equal to the market rate, then the builder would have no reason to borrow from the banker; he might as well borrow in the free market of the townspeople, who are charging ten percent on their money. So the banker charges something less: say, eight percent. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ding!&lt;/span&gt; Take note of this artificially altered price of credit; we'll come back to it. And note that the money supply has been inflated from one million units of money to 1.1 million units. Imposters now circulate among the real money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the builder has his money. He spends it into circulation by buying building materials, paying workers, etc. The workers and the hardware store suddenly have lots of business. Everyone seems to have more money. And they do: they are the recipients of this new 100,000 units of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's say I'm a farmer and I've got some cows to sell. I put an advertisement in the paper saying that I will have a livestock auction on Saturday. Ten people show up to bid on the cows. Typically, a cow will sell for about a hundred units of money. But now Jim Bob (who had always wanted a cow but could not afford one) has shown up at the auction. He's a drywall guy and has been doing some work for the builder. He now has money. Jimmy Joe (who typically comes to the auctions and buys cows sometimes because he is a dairy farmer) is now bidding against Jim Bob. Jim Bob has the money to buy a cow now. But Jimmy Joe, the dairy farmer, still needs that cow. So Jimmy Joe is forced to raise his bid by some amount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That cow I just sold to Jimmie Joe cost him more than the cow I sold to Jimmie Joe last week. This is price inflation. It is a direct result of monetary inflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elderly widow down the street --whose entire savings amount to ten thousand units of money-- must now pay more to buy the chickens from me because Jim Bob Drywall Guy also wants to buy chickens with his newfound "wealth." The value of the widow's money has decreased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "energy content" of the builder's fake money came from the widow's money. And from the dairy farmer's money. It was a transference of wealth from the widow and the dairy farmer and to the builder. (And also to the banker, as he is making some money by way of his interest.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fractional reserve banking scheme cooked up by the bank president is a theft of wealth from existing holders of money. The fruits of this theft are divided between the banker and those to whom he lends the fake money. This scheme of thievery always requires two conspirators: the banker and the initial borrower. (Who is likely the banker's buddy.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now. Back to that altered interest rate. To recap: The townspeople would charge ten percent on their money. Ten percent is the cost of credit in Cootersville. If the banker chooses to issue additional notes to the builder, he must charge a lesser rate than the prevailing rate, else why would the builder borrow money from the banker when he could just get it from the townspeople? The banker wants to lend this money. So he will charge less than the prevailing rate. That is, he will charge less than the market has decided that the price of credit is worth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The banker has lowered the price of credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say I'm an inventor. I invent everything from retrotemporal communications devices to battery-powered tie racks to nuclear-powered mouse traps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old style, spring-loaded mouse trap seems to work just fine. And it costs ninety-nine cents. I would never borrow money at ten percent to build a factory to manufacture nuclear-powered mouse traps. Why would anyone do such a thing when someone can buy a spring-loaded mouse trap for ninety-nine cents?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let's say I've got my heart set on this cockamamie idea of a world improved by nuclear-powered mouse traps. In my financial calculus, a credit price of ten percent makes the idea unworkable. But what if the price of credit were only eight percent? Or five percent? Or one percent? In my financial calculus, my bright idea of building a factory to manufacture nuclear-powered mouse traps suddenly seems viable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I borrow the money from the banker at an artificially reduced price of five percent. And away I go and build my factory and buy stuff from the local uranium miner (who has to hire more people and dig up uranium and buy packaging material so that he can ship it to me and he prints up his special stationery so that he can bill me.) The uranium miner has created an entire business around providing me with uranium for my nuclear-powered mouse traps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So opening day comes! ...And no one seems interested in a nuclear-powered mouse trap. So the economic energy that was stolen from the dairy farmer and the widow has been put to use in building a nuclear-powered mouse trap factory and in expanding the uranium miner's operation. I'm not selling mouse traps and the miner isn't selling any more uranium than he was before. So now the economy of Cootersville has an idle nuclear-powered mouse trap factory and lots of fancy stationery that aren't being used. This is an economic distortion. Such a thing would not have occurred if the credit were purchased at the prevailing rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An artificially low price of credit makes all sorts of cockamamie ideas seem economically viable. And we wind up with WebVan and Pets.com. ...And we're out a cure for cancer or an expanded cotton-growing operation or whatever else the credit might have been wisely applied to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fractional reserve banking has two effects, both of which are deleterious to an economy: It steals economic value from the dairy farmer and the widow, and it encourages unwise investment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fractional reserve banking is theft, plain and simple. It is the single worst thing that ever happened to Cootersville.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...But there is no shortage of sophists to argue in favor of it. Because they are very well paid. Fractional reserve banking is a VERY lucrative business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OF2jDjicxtw&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;border=0"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OF2jDjicxtw&amp;amp;rel=1&amp;amp;border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

I really don't care. The nature of the medium is probably such that I would be limited to doing meaningless material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dershowitz is a member of the Traveling Jewish Hucksters. They roam from society to society and ruin them. He's an ex-communist. He likes authoritarian systems of government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I think if you were to look closely, you would find that he's a satanist. Which means he's not actually Jewish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at this impressive passage again:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If you torture, then what separates you from -- the Nazis, or somebody else?" asked Brzezinski.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"Every government faced with a ticking bomb would, in fact, torture, and we would do it in order to get information to save lives," Dershowitz answered. "The essence of a democracy, if you're going to do something, you have to admit you're doing it and you have to have control over it and you have to have restrictions on when it can be done. ... If it's going to be done in a democracy, then you have to make everybody accountable for it."&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"It's been found that torture doesn't cough up good information at all times," Brzezinski pointed out.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;"That's just dead wrong," Dershowitz stammered.  "It works sometimes."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Dershowitz_US_shouldnt_hide_use_of_1116.html"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is pure, meaningless sophistry. I didn't know that admitting you're doing something and then making everyone accountable for it if you're going to do something was the "essence of democracy."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The man sells garbage for a living. And should a society be so unfortunate as to buy it, that society gets destroyed. (Much like American society is now.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bill Kristol is another member of the Traveling Jewish Hucksters. All he can do is smile that creepy smile of his and spew forth lies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nearly every Jew I've seen on TV for the past six years is a member of the Traveling Jewish Hucksters. They defile the minds of their audiences merely by opening their mouths.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the sad part here is that they're not even Jewish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Traveling Jewish Hucksters have some kind of communal psychic sickness. They despise themselves, they despise life, and they despise beautiful things. So it is their calling to spread poison.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the Jews permit them to do business from their house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

Or the brightest light. It is the state of being so "famous" that you become known to the Future People --who, with the passage of time, become the Present People.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And everyone HAS to watch your show, because it is THE show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, informational primacy is fame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means nothing to me other than its usefulness as a tool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I chose stand-up comedy as a vehicle because fine comedians are rare. According to the formula by which I operate, I had to work to become a fine comedian SO THAT I could achieve informational primacy. I am counting on being very famous. I have to be famous. It's my tool. It is part of four-dimensional chess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being very famous is by now a foregone conclusion. It cannot be stopped. This informational "critical mass" has been achieved. It just needs to be released at my convenience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New World Order is dead. I killed it. But that occurs in a "pro-temporal frame," if that makes sense to you. We will have those who do not yet know that they work for people who have lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would ask of the Future People to closely examine henceforth the video footage of Sean Hannity, for example. He reads my material. He knows that I have asked you to look into his eyes. So now, every time he looks into the camera, he will know that he is being scrutinized by generations of viewers who know what to look for. He will know that we can see the fear in his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He knows all too well that, without intervention, he is doomed. It will be hard for his unconscious mind not to beg forgiveness and to let the Freudian slips out. He will utter at some point, for example, the words "I am America's enemy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now he can't stop thinking about this. He can't stop trying not to say the words "I am America's enemy." Which is why he will utter them: Because the words occupy his every unconscious thought and represent the only avenue for his forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your unconscious mind, Mr. Hannity, will first confess your crimes. And then I will heal you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know who I am yet?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

(I'll treat myself now and again, but I consider myself not to have been a "smoker" for about a year now.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm on the patch. Or will be, as soon as I have a few more cigarettes this morning before going to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then it's doing away with the booze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't worry, everybody! I clean up real good!"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

And once you have them hypnotized, you can make them do anything: quack like ducks, walk funny, roll around on the floor, hand you their wallets...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will tell you as a social observer --because I have at no time ever been part of your society, nor susceptible to the methods used against it-- that over the past six years you have been flapping your arms and making duck noises. And all I can do is shake my head at your performance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your entire society has been hypnotized. And you are doing some very dangerous things to yourselves for the benefit of your hypnotizers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a list of your stunning achievements over the past six years:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;You kill hundreds of thousands of peaceful people for no discernible reason.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You torture people.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You make fathers fuck their sons in your gulags.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You make people eat each other's cum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You depopulate entire swaths of land by salting it with depleted uranium.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have allowed the public treasury to be completely looted.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have delivered to an organized crime syndicate free access to your communications.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have dismantled your system of law.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You take off your shoes at the airport and are permitted one travel-sized tube of toothpaste in a see-through bag.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have video cameras everywhere.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cops tase unconscious people for not obeying orders to wake up and college kids for asking questions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have delivered to the Executive branch permission to whisk anyone away never to be seen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Bravo. [slow, sarcastic clapping]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been taken advantage of by illusionists. They are nothing but traveling hucksters. They go from society to society and ruin them. It's what they do. Like the people known as "the travelers," that clan that travels from city to city and swindles the elderly by promising to make house repairs or whatever, these illusionists do the same thing. They did it to Russia, they did it to Germany, and now they're doing it to America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each people specializes in something: The Germans make fine cars, the Swiss produce chocolate, the Japanese make robots. Others ruin societies. It's their preferred business model. Someone has to do it, I suppose. There will always be traveling snake-oil salesmen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's only one person who can wake up an illusionist's audience: Another illusionist. Two can play that game...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case there is one phrase that will act as a snapping of fingers, one phrase that will wake you up, one phrase that will cause the entire illusion to evaporate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Israel did it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I can utter that phrase --and provide proof to back it up-- then you will wake from your slumber, the entire ruse will be visible, you will see your enemy, and Abe Foxman's head will explode in a massive supernova of brains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I do suspect that Jews would make a delectable, tasty treat, that's not my main motivator. My goal over the past four years has been to utter that one magic phrase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel is a satanic state. It exists as an insult to God. According to Jews themselves, it is an abomination and was not to be formed prior to the Messianic Redemption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be fair, "Jewish" satanists --again, a misnomer because, by definition, Jews do not worship Satan-- these Jewish satanists have plenty of co-workers of other lineages. I have chosen my attack carefully and made the cool decision that the "Israel did it" phrase was the most direct route. Israeli complicity in 9-11 is, in my judgment, the weak link in the chain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why I have done so much Jew material over the past three years. I had to navigate past their defenses. (Though I will concede that it was tremendously fun to give them a righteous beatdown.) I have managed to perform that material without being credibly accused of being ContraThem. Now I'm inside the control room, and there are no more defenses. All their guns are pointed outward. There's no one left guarding the inner sanctum. I'm stomping around and pulling wires and watching the sparks fly. And all I have to do at my leisure is to find the right wire to yank. ...And then it's all over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; find that smoking gun that causes the heads of Abe Foxman, Michael Chertoff, Michael Mukasey, and Joseph Lieberman to pop like an overripe, neglected pimple that spills its fruits upon receiving so much as a kind whisper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am close to diagnosing the Jews' problem: There is a dark sect that walks among them. This sect ruins societies. It's their business model. This sect gives Jews a bad name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; expose that sect for the malevolent hypnotists that they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five, four, three, two...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

The company says it has put into circulation more than $20 million in Liberty Dollars, coins and paper certificates it contends are backed by silver and gold stored in &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Idaho?tid=informline" target=""&gt;Idaho&lt;/a&gt;, are far more reliable than a U.S. dollar and are accepted for use by a nationwide underground economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the affidavit, an FBI special agent states that he is investigating Norfed for federal violations including "uttering coins of gold, silver, or other metal," "making or possessing likeness of coins," mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. "The goal of Norfed is to undermine the United States government's financial systems by the issuance of a non-governmental competing currency for the purpose of repealing the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Code," he states.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/16/AR2007111602267.html?hpid=topnews"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect that if you look closely at whatever statute the FBI claims to derive the "uttering coins" and "making or possessing likeness of coins" phrases, you will find that the statute defines "coins" to be United States coins. That is, it would be illegal to strike coins that purport to be United States coins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These Liberty coins could only be mistaken for US coins by a complete moron. ...Which I know is most Americans, but still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the FBI's misleading and fraudulent use of that statute, they would seem to be obligated to seize the assets of the Franklin Mint and jail them for striking commemorative Snow White coins or World Fair 1968 coins or whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government's case is asinine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it legal to trade a broken-down but fixable truck for three cords of firewood?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it legal to trade a gold nugget you found in the river for three cords of firewood?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it legal to melt that nugget of gold into a flat, circular disc and shine it up and trade that for three cords of firewood?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it legal to strike an image of Mickey Mouse onto the disc and trade it for the firewood? (There would some copyright infringement, but you get the point. Come up with your own symbol or image.) Can you do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a matter of fact, companies have been doing this centuries. They're called assayers. Such an image on a coin is like a trademarked symbol. It tells any who might trade with such a coin that this particular company has certified that the silver or gold is of a guaranteed weight and fineness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing illegal about this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be illegal, however, if you struck a coin that purported to be a United States coin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, as usual, the FBI is misusing statutes to achieve some political end. These aren't quite the Ephraim Zimbalist Junior heydays of law enforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that end is to drive real money out of circulation so that the garbage money will have no competition.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;

A funny shirt is the shirt that, when you put it on, just magically makes you funny. Other comedians know what I'm talking about: When you're in that mood where you can't NOT be funny. But I'm not always in that mood; I don't always have my funny shirt on. And stuff that you do when you don't have your funny shirt on is just garbage.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;
