<<He supposedly put this plan of miraculous World Domination(tm) into play within hours after 9/11. I'd called that pretty fucking genius. For a man who before 9/11 was a hillbilly hayseed, he sure seems to be pulling a lot of devious schemes behind America's back. I just want to know, which is it?>> A minor point on this one and its something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. These two seemingly contradictory states of nature are not contradictory at all if you take an honest look at the situation. If there was a plan for "world domination" (I believe there certainly was a good bit of progress on certain agendas, call it world domination to be dramatic or typical American behavior, which in my opinion is slightly less than "world domination" but considerably greater than a healthy relationship with the vast majority of the world's population) it sure as hell wasn't advanced by President Bush. I'd prefer to call it a "shift in world order" but whatever you call it, it would be of complete ignorance to believe that the bumbling dipshit we refer to as President has anything to do with the overall advancement of this agenda (whatever you want to call it) rather than his handlers - one of which will be faithfully by his side next week in the 9-11 commission, doubtless as Bush couldn't even hold a 20 minute press conference without sounding like a complete clown ("See here, nobody likes to see dead bodies on television." note: the preceding quote was edited for grunts, stammering and other vulgarities that would get someone booted out of a high school rhetoric class) let alone face questions concerning one of the most serious events in world history. The President of the United States, for the most part, is crafted to be whatever an almost endless team of engineers tell him to be. Reagan fit this well, after all he was an actor. Clinton was slick and very intelligent. Immoral but intelligent. The interesting thing about Bush is here we have a president so fucking stupid that he can't even seem to read the cards his handlers feed him. Bush crafting a plan after 9-11.... Good god man, he can't even address a single reporter without that dear-in-headlights lock-up over a dozen "ummmmmmmmmmm"s... Not to go into the nature of the advancement of US/world relationships, I would only ask the following: please don't mistake that Bush's sheer ignorance and, frankly, completely embarrassing nature has one thing to do with the overall evolution of these global trends. He has, as he would put it, "thinkers" to do that for him. He is a good cowboy. The one thing he had going for him was his appeal to the type of person who believes that everything is either good or bad. This works very well up until around the point when people start to see too many of their fellow citizens being slaughtered in a war he (his handlers) has yet to answer some serious questions about - and NOT just stammer on about "how evil Saddam was", or when things get worse how "REALLY evil Saddam was". There comes a point when things get so bad that thinking is forced on even the most happily ignorant and the passive believers of whatever shit he mispronounces down their throats aren't satisfied. They can't be. It is too serious. You need look no further than the letters from military families, the incredible amount of unanswered questions, lack of faith and deterioration of the endeavor in its entirety. The military is stretched to the breaking point; top military brass will tell you that. The fact that they would even CONSIDER a draft tells us a whole lot. We know what that leads to in the face of illegitimate war, and I am filled with such unbelievable hope that there is a draft enacted - it would lead to the best thing to happen to the nation since the civil rights movement, anyone with any sense of the obvious knows exactly what I'm talking about - think 1969. It'll take more than an air craft carrier landing to salvage that one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
