Culture Watch: Dream Republics
BY JOHN LEONARD
According to Plato, he heard about Atlantis from his maternal uncle, Critias the Younger, who got it from his father, Critias the Elder, who was told the story by a peripatetic Solon, who'd picked it up from a couple of priests in Pharaonic Egypt. According to Ellis, Plato made the whole thing up. What he really felt bad about was the decline of his very own Athens, after the Persian wars, the Peloponnesian victory of the Spartans and the dreadful Plague. To add color, he threw in a Temple of Poseidon that sounds an awful lot like the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, just as the sunken-city stuff seems to have been embroidered from secondhand accounts of the 373 BC earthquake that glub-glubbed Helice in the Gulf of Corinth. Atlantis, for which Plato is the only extant source, never happened.
Oddly, this speculative argument comes at the end of a book at pains to rebuke every author who claims to have located Atlantis anywhere in the world, from the Azores to Antarctica, from Scandinavia to the Sahara, from Ireland to Peru. They're all wrong, says Ellis, because they've twisted Plato to suit their own fixations, ignored his coordinates and fiddled with his arithmetic. And so they have, like medieval cabalists. But if Plato was just allegorizing promiscuously, why should we care if later generations of Froot Loops like Edgar Cayce and Immanuel Velikovsky played fast and loose with the details of a Critias that's fictitious anyway? He made up his cave, too. And who'd want to live in Plato's own dreamy Republic, where a stand-up guy like Democritus would've been banned and burned?
Nothing exists, except atoms and empty space. (Democritus)
I review Atlantis books once a decade, whether they need it or not. First up in 1978 was The Secret of Atlantis by Otto Muck, a German scientist predisposed to Spenglerian rinse-cycles. Muck went up (working on the V-2 rocket) and Muck went down (inventing the U-boat snorkel). In between, he theorized an Atlantis on the Azores hump in the Atlantic Ridge, populated by seven-foot Cro-Magnons who spoke Basque and were kind to eels. It was destroyed by a giant asteroid that messed with the earth's axial rotation, punched holes in the ocean's floor and sent up vapor clouds into a smog ball that lasted 2,000 years. Its sudden sinking caused the Flood that made Noah famous, ended the Ice Age by allowing the Gulf Stream to lick the tenderloins of Europe, embarrassed many woolly mammoths, accounts for the migratory nuptial urge of eels to lay their atavistic eggs in the Sargasso Sea, and explains the heretofore mysterious Mayan calendar, said by Muck to mark the moment when Atlantis went down: 8 pm, June 5, 8498 BC. In the New York Times, I said: "I believe every other word of it."
Paleontologist/astrobiologist Charles Pellegrino doesn't. In Unearthing Atlantis (1991), Pellegrino gave us the Big Picture--from weather reports in the Old Testament and classical literature, from volcanology, glaciology, paleobotany, oceanography and particle physics, and from readings of ice caps, acid layers, carbon exhaust clouds, dinosaur teeth, clam bed fossils, Irish peat bogs and California bristlecones. Instead of being hit on the Azores by an asteroid in 8498 BC, Atlantis/Thera vanished in the fall of 1628 BC in a volcanic whoosh more powerful than the simultaneous explosion of 150 hydrogen bombs. Fifty cubic miles of rock became "as vapor in the heavens, death rolled into Turkey on the tongue of a tsunami," plagues came down on Egypt and the Red Sea parted, after which the Minoan dancers disappeared, leaving behind an ornamental vase or two, rumors of bull worship and not a single bone, until archeologists began the disinterring of Akrotiri, which will take another 300 years.
Pellegrino will talk your head off on top of the "smoking cathedral" of a volcano or beneath the seas where giant sandworms inhale sulfides and entire continents grind or drift from the pull of moon on bedrock. His is the view from Krakatoa, Pompeii and Mount St. Helens, Stonehenge and Glomar, a Book of Numbers and a Book of the Dead. He sees a culture of genius in business for 1,500 years before the roof blew off: thus the first navies and first condos; flush toilets and other technologies not recovered till the Islamic Middle Ages; brave men hunting bulls with ropes, beautiful women drinking the blood of those bulls from gold cups and artists who painted monkeys instead of monarchs. Because of that explosion, vulgar Mycenaeans took over Club Med and Moses bunked from Egypt.
This is the Big Picture with a vengeance. In Imagining Atlantis Ellis, amused by Muck, is almost furious at Pellegrino: If Plato had been thinking about Thera, he'd have mentioned a volcano! Besides, Pellegrino should have credited James Mavor, who beat him to the Santorini punch by a quarter of a century. Fair enough, except that Ellis and Pellegrino are equally in love with Minoan culture. Both would rather write about labyrinths and courtesans, bulls' horns and octopus shields, striped dolphins, silver daggers and a Goddess of Wild Goats than Critias any day. They'd even rather write about volcanoes and tsunamis. What Pellegrino does to fudge up the flimsy evidence is go all the way back to the Big Bang. What Ellis does is make fun of Atlantologists. What neither acknowledges is that, from the beginning, we've finessed Plato's cautionary tale about a powerful and prosperous principality undone by corruption and arrogance because we'd rather use Atlantis to think about something else--to dream a republic in the impossibly nostalgic past, or to imagine a utopia in the always radiant future, but in any case to posit some improvement on what we've got.
I'm not just talking about the oddball monomaniacs and eccentric tangents Ellis entertains, although they are suggestive: Atlantis and Amazons (Diodorus Siculus); Atlantis as Tartessos (Rhys Carpenter); a South Sea island (Bacon) or between Casablanca and Agadir (Félix Berlioux), with a pet leopard named Hiram (Pierre Benoît); in Friesland (Albert Herrmann), Yorubaland (Leo Frobenius), Andalusia (Ellen Mary Whitshaw) or Libya (Otto Silbermann); the Bahamas, the Crimea, the Yucatán or the Bermuda Triangle, unless it's the Sahara (Count Byron Kuhn de Prorok), the Antarctic (Rand and Rose Flem-Ath) or Schleswig-Holstein (Jürgen Spanuth); right next door to the Elysian Fields, the Temple of Delphi, the Asgard of the Eddas and Mount Olympus (Ignatius Donnelly); sister city of Lemuria (Madame Blavatsky) and "prehistory" or "collective unconscious" of humankind (an anthroposophical Rudolf Steiner). At one time or another, Atlantis has been associated with the cult of Osiris and the Popul Vuh, the Hurrian Song of Ullikummi and the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Toltecs and the Tao. And this is to scant novels by Bacon, Donnelly, Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells and Ursula Le Guin, and to forget entirely about such films as Warlords of Atlantis, in which Cyd Charisse starred as Atsil, Queen of an Atlantean master race who saucered in from Mars and would have evolved into Nazis if they hadn't been attacked first by pre-Spielbergian velociraptors.
Atlantis as blue monkey business has many more resonant meanings.
Sonia: "I don't believe in a perfect world, but I believe in a better one." Zimmer: "My poor baby. You've become a liberal." (Robert Stone, Damascus Gate)
We used to dream of utopian republics in both directions, past and future. An Atlantis frame of mind could be radical--dialectical materialism, Zionism and relativity; Blake, Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft and Gandhi's Hind Swaraj; St. Hildegarde of Bingen and Paul Goodman. Or reformist--Mennonites and Shakers, Oneida and Brook Farm. Or moony--El Dorado and Prester John; Agapemone and Micomicon; Shangri-La and Arden; Brideshead and Bomarzo; black forests, sacred groves, Druidic roods, Yggdrasil and Walden; Morris dancing in Tannhäuser sandals. One thinks as well, and almost at random, of Erewhon, Télémaque, Christianopolis and Camelot; of Altneuland and Looking Backward; of Buckminster Fuller and Sabbatai Zevi; of Ascona, Ticino, Israeli kibbutzim, Gary Snyder's Zen-Wobbly Kitkitdizze, Kurt Vonnegut's volunteer fire brigade, Burckhardt's Basel and Gene Kelly's Brigadoon.
To which I'd add personal favorites like Walter Raleigh's The Discoverie, Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne, Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism, Darwin and I Ching; the dreaming of astronomers in superstrings, of astrophysicists in heliopause, of Mandelbrot in fractals and of Mike Davis about Los Angeles. Dream republics of another sort are found in the carbon clouds and fossil beds of Baudelaire's Paris, Joyce's Dublin, Svevo's Trieste, Musil's Vienna, Döblin's Berlin and Bely's Petersburg, as they are archeologized in the Buenos Aires of Borges and Cortázar, the Havana of Cabrera Infante and the Mexico City of Fuentes--the city as cinema, starring change, greed, gossip, jazz, quake, zoom, dissolving into multitude, solitude, trajectory and vertigo.
Likewise Atlantological-utopian (and wistful thinking) was the millennia-long quest for God in His own scattered Words, as explored by Umberto Eco in The Search for the Perfect Language--from Hebrew tetragrammatons to the Celto-Scythian Hypothesis, from Dante to Vico, from Cyrano's birds to BASIC and Pascal--via theosophy, alchemy and cabala. Some of these men sound silly, but human brain-stuff hasn't changed in 500 or even 15,000 years; it's culture that metastasizes. When, frightened by the Thirty Years' War in the seventeenth century, Johann Valentin Andreae, Tommaso Campanella and Guillaume Postel all took time off from looking for a perfect language to draw up projects for an ideal republic to insure the universal peace, maybe their behavior had more to recommend it than, say, the characteristic paralysis of our own literary vanguard--those ecstatic cabalists who have assured us there's no such thing as causality, history, rational planning, coherent representation, intelligent action or ethical purpose, only showbiz--just as the artists of Thera (or Lascaux, or Altamira) could teach Picasso something about jouissance.
Let me dream a couple of republics-- one fictional and the other, gloriously, not.
Everything we want in a society is what we find brought out in people in the moment of insurrection. Spontaneity! Spontaneous hierarchy! Self-sacrifice! Staying awake all night! Working until we drop! Audacity! Camaraderie! The carnival behind the barricades--what it feels like when the police have just been kicked out of your quartier! Free eggs, free goods.... And don't forget what it feels like to throw open the gates of the prisons! What a great moment! This is the moment the true socialist worships and thinks will be incarnated in the society on the morning after. (Norman Rush, Mating)
So much goes on in Rush's nifty novel about true love, star-crossed anthropology and rural development in Southern Africa that we almost forget about the morning after. The morning after is Tsau, "a whole new village built from the ground up, in point of fact, somewhere in the north central Kalahari," an experimental matriarchal "New Jerusalem" and "solar democracy." Tsau has been planned in the Botswana desert by the famously sardonic radical decentralist Nelson Denoon, an amalgam of Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich, from lessons learned on previous projects about scale, vernacular, balancing collective and individual incentives, and "basing your political economy on women instead of men--his theme song, Every female is a golden loom." And it's described in brilliant detail.
In the night, in the desert, first you hear the wind chimes and the blue-green glass bells hanging from chains in the crowns of albizias. Then you see, like flashing sequins of reflected light, the flanged cylinders in the windmills on the koppie; a pair of horns on the glazed ceramic water tank; spiral-channeled disks strung from torii-like crossbars ("a corridor of darling crepitation"); hedges, rondavels; cloud trees and goats. Later, in the blaze of daylight off of solar panels, you will pick out workshops, primary schools, mealie fields, kraals and kilns; pantaloons and parasols; tracking mirrors for the solar ovens and dung carts pulled by children who earn credits for delivering messages or goods; ostrich farming, abacus lessons, menarche parties, kickball, Snake Women, death masks...
Never mind the Mother Committee and the Lamentations. At Tsau, women are deeded their houses and plots; ownership entitles you to voting membership in the voluntary labor credit system; inheritance is restricted to female offspring and female collaterals. At Tsau, there aren't supposed to be any motorcars, guns, booze, abortions, witchcraft or other religion. But there are tensions. After eight years, isn't it time for Denoon to cease promoting sauerkraut and croquet, and get on with the rest of his life? "Who cared if he was willing to say of himself that he was well-known to be gung ho for half measures and that if he had been in the October Revolution he would have been saying some power to the soviets?"
You don't want to know what happens to Denoon. You may want to know what happens to Tsau, but Rush isn't telling, except to hint at the slow subversions of alcohol (shebeens), prostitution (male), sectarianism and, alas, guns. The excuse for guns at Tsau is--surprise--a sudden population explosion of...vervet monkeys.
Gaviotas isn't a utopia. Utopia literally means "no place." In Greek, the prefix "u" signifies no. We call Gaviotas a topia, because it's real. (Paolo Lugari)
When Paolo Lugari first visited the llanos of eastern Colombia, sixteen hours by jeep from Bogotá, what he saw was something other than a steambed seething with malarial mosquitoes, a caramel-colored plain of muck as flat as a leaden sea and four times the size of Holland. "The only deserts are deserts of the imagination." He saw the future of civilization fashioned out of grass, sunlight and water; Third World solutions to their own problems; "a living laboratory" to which he'd summon "pioneer-technicians" and "engineer-dreamers," mathematicians, chemists, botanists, geologists, architects, anthropologists and astronomers; coffee and carnations; windmills and water buffalo and an enchanted forest made for singing.
That was almost thirty years ago; the community he huffed, puffed and enticed into being thrives astonishingly today, in spite of the army, death-squad paramilitaries, narcotraffickers and guerrillas; in spite of the buying and selling of Bogotá governments and the dumping of cheap grains and other foodstuffs from giant US producers on Colombia's "free" market; in spite of leached soil, poisoned rivers and a shortage of women. It is this story that Alan Weisman, on assignment with a team of journalists to produce a series for NPR on solutions to social and environmental problems, must have been delirious to discover. His splendid book received a rave review in The Nation [May 4] but has been mostly ignored by the mainstream media, and why not? It will only save our souls.
What the dreamers in the desert did, with a couple of grants from the United Nations and a work force of Guahibo Indians, was to make fiberboard from grass and gaskets out of leaves; turn palm oil extract residues into bovine feed supplements; build windmills, hydroponic nurseries and a "giant condom" irrigation system made of plastic trash bags; invent solar water heater panels, micro-hydro turbines, biogas generators and every manner of water pump from ram to sleeve to a wheel mounted on a floating oil drum, not to mention the pedal-driven cassava grinder, the one-handed sugarcane press, the one-man manual cement mixer, a cork-screwing manual well digger and a rotating-drum peanut sheller--all of which they refused to patent.
They also put up a hospital you'd want to send your mother to, and when the government closed it down in a managed healthcare seizure, they turned the building into a research facility for medicinal plants. They contracted with banks and the government to install solar heating for public housing projects in Bogotá and Medellín, and hired and trained street urchins to make the solar panels, as they taught a squatters' colony in the capital city how to plant hydroponic farms on their rooftops--so successfully that soon a women's cooperative supplied lettuce to a grocery chain. They created a community with no jails, judges, cops, crime or locks, not much marriage and even less smoking. And it sits there, celebrating the Day of the Bicycle and the Day of the Birds, in the middle of a comeback rain forest, much of it Caribbean pine, whose bark fairly oozes with a resin Gaviotas sells for paints, enamel, varnish, newsprint, soap, ink, incense and to rosin the bows of violins right next door to their factory for harps and cuatros. Not only is this forest good for the ozone layer, but it brings back lapwings and whistling herons, butterflies and parrots--and the acoustics are perfect for concerts.
Enough. I'll end as sappy as a Caribbean pine. Imagine finding Atlantis in Colombia, as if the idea of a dream republic, like the equally abused ideas of sanctuary and asylum, had been hiding out inside a magical realist novel, ready to contradict every ugly Western idea of space--of private beaches and company towns, restrictive covenants and armed response, gated communities and strategic hamlets, panopticons and bantustans--and I haven't even mentioned my favorite Gaviotan invention, which is a sleeve pump attached to a seesaw, so that children playing at recess might supply the water for their school. Think of that. Plato didn't, in his cave. Now, for those children on the seesaw, substitute blue monkeys.

About It

………………………...….

How many chucks can a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck can chuck wood!?

It’s not a military solution, & they keep making it a military solution! It rings hollow, when they say that they’re understanding the troops, helping the troops, supporting the troops, blah, blah, blah!
This is not what the troops are designed to do!
Our own goals are thwarted by our own methods!
Amongst politicians, there will be this “back & forth” until things start to dissolve in Iraq, & the republicans begin moving over to the side of the Democrats, moving to override Bush’s veto!
It’s more “gamesmanship!”
Bush: “There’s no end date; there’s no plan!”
This will go on until they (Congresspersons) get enough votes to override the veto!
In vetoing the legislation, G. W. Bush says that he’s “doing it for the troops, so that they (the troops) don’t have to take bad ideas from Congresspersons & Senators 6000 miles away!”
He’s using the troops as a “political hostage,” to make a “political point,”
using the troops,
killing the troops,
hurting the troops,
“supporting the troops,”
“loving people in uniform,”
seeing troops for political reigns!
We can either be a superpower, or we can have an all-volunteer military! We can’t do both!
Saving face!!?? Are we going in further, or pulling out!

If I didn’t follow the “established” path, would I be scared, or proud!?
Follow your own trail (pathway, conduit, lane, alleyway, corridor, passageway, course)!
Life is calling!

The Corrupt, political schemes that permeate (infuse, invade, flood, fill, saturate, filter through, seep into, leak into) this G. W. Bush administration!

5.2.7
Fastest walkers (around the world):
Singapore came in first!
New Yorkers came in 8th!

Does anyone work in the department of the Non-Military American Power Around The World/Globe? Everyone who works in that department, resigns!

The government is selling off its foreign properties/homes! It’s all for sale; all of these assets!

Torture & execution is in abundance, in Iraq, daily;
daily, hundreds die in this manner (approach, style, behavior, comportment, conduct, mode, way)!
And American officials deny that we torture!?

5.2.7
Falling 62 votes short of overriding G. W. Bush’s veto (of war funding legislation), the House did not get the 2/3 vote (to override the President’s veto), today, so the Senate wont bother trying (to get a vote to override the veto of the legislation)!

There are Czar’s all over the country;
the U. S. government is still doing interviews, looking for someone to do the commanding on the ground in these wars (in other countries)! So far, no one has shown interest in the employment (position, post)!
Under the regime (rule, management, organization, system, command, government) of G. W. Bush, there’s been a:
Drug Czar
Hurricane Katrina Czar (Don Powell, after hurricane Katrina)
Manufacturing Czar
Privacy security Czar
Regulatory Czar (office of management & budget)
Food safety Czar
Maybe we can name G. W. Bush: Czar D’Crawford

What we need is a date on when the war funding ends, & dates to start & finish the troop withdrawal!
I can’t wait until 2008!!!

Many troops are unable to continue military service because of the stress of the operations, the operational demands/reasons, & the effects upon the families (of troops)!

Republican leadership says that it doesn’t mind “benchmarks,” as long as they aren’t “binding!” Are they binding, or are they suggestive!?
What are the effects (of these benchmarks); what are the consequences (of these benchmarks)?
G. W. Bush says that the legislation is unconstitutional, that we don’t have a roll in setting out policies, & that military operations are unconstitutional!!!

5.2.7
We need to draw up another War-funding Supplemental Appropriations Bill (Legislation), now!
So, we need an explanation for what our real mission, there; what it is!

5.2.7
9 American states have legalized medical marijuana!
Support Weed; It Helps!


5.2.7
We don’t have a mission, there, being in Iraq!
“A free & democratic Iraq!?”
“A country without WMD!?”
“An oil with food program!?”
“A country with elections!?”
“A reconciled country!?”
“A country working with the United States!?”
“A country to fight killers!?”
FOR EMPIRE PURPOSES; it’s been clear, for over 4 years, now, that that’s why we went into Iraq!

On 5.1.7, (On American Idol) G. W. Bush thanked all American Idol supporters for raising $70 million for poor nations! The AI spectators were stunned to see G. W, and Laura Bush!

5.2.7
Today, G. W. Bush stood next to Commander/President “death-squad!”
“Vote for me, & the occasional massacre!”
“Democracy means human dignity, & human rights!
Democracy means the rule of law!” – G. W. Bush

“I’m the Commander-guy!” – G. W. Bush

5.2.7
HIDE THE NEWS; HIDE INFORMATION:
There’s a change: anti-blogger, anti-email!
The soldiers are being threatened (by the army) with court martial!

“The President wants “a blank check;” the Congress will not give it to him!” – Nancy Pelosi

5.2.7
America’s roads, ports, airports, & toll roads are being privatized, & outsourced; we’ll have to pay to drive any road, eventually!
Why are America’s roads, ports, airports, & toll roads on the auction block!?

The Bushie government is so good at (& dedicated to) burying the truth!

There’s a war going on against the poor, the homeless, the disenfranchised;
“We’re onto you; leave now, go (gracefully),” they shout!

G. W. Bush is a little child in a man’s (militaristic, martial, warring, jock-strap-style) codpiece!

“We are not in the business of ‘nation building!’”

Republican Congresspersons, & republican Senators; (in our time) their homes are being broken into, invaded, & they’re being busted for tax fraud, & tax evasion (deception, scam, con, scheme, swindle, racket, hoax, deceit)!
Look around, & see and smell the intimidation!

“I am (in fact) sedated!”

The legislation that G. W. Bush just vetoed contained money for:
The Recovery for (the) Katrina survivors
Healthcare for troops & veterans
A “paid for” “plan-agenda” (a “plan” & “agenda” that is not G. W. Bush’s; a fact
that Bush doesn’t have a “plan” & “agenda”, and doesn’t want one!)

Don’t believe anything you hear on the radio or on television;
you’ve got to do your own research!
Speak truth to power, to the American people!
The news-people have gotten to be the laziest, dumbest people!

“I hear the voices!” – G. W. Bush

What did we learn in school, today?
We learned in school that:
The government never lies! LIE!
The soldiers never die! LIE!
That people are free! LIE!

There’s no more money:
For universal, accessible education
For troops & veterans healthcare & mental healthcare
For universal, accessible healthcare
For universal, accessible mental health care
For universal, accessible social services
For environmental care
But the G. W. Bush goverment has given $8 billion to the oil industry!
And there are tax-breaks for the millionaires & billionaires!
We’ve got to take care of the millionaires & billionaires, & Corporate-government, & oil industry, & pharmaceutical commerce!
It sounds very republican to me!

The view of Liberals:
That people are inherently (intrinsically, innately, naturally, essentially) good, & that the government should help (assist) to maximize (make the most of, make the best use of, take full advantage of, build on) that goodness!
The view of Conservatives:
It goes back to the notion of “original sin,” that people are “fundamentally evil,” & that the government is here to restrain (control, pin down, hold down) that “natural” evil from being acted out!
We know that this (kind of thinking) doesn’t work, but we do it, anyway!
BOOK: Help At Any Cost

When people are doing well, financially, they’re more generous & giving!
Inflicting pain does not produce empathy!

The al qeida is not the al qeida that attacked America on 9.11.1

Doom & Gloom, that the G. W. Bush administration loves to put forth!

“Join the Nazi Quaker Church;
join the military, & then refuse to fight and lift up the gun!”

Already, the Commander in Chief (the President of America) is the War Czar!
It’s pin the tail on the donkey!

They view the whole thing as a sports game!
People are dying in this war; mothers, fathers, babies, children, grandmothers, grandfathers, well over 700,000 innocent civilians dead, soldiers, troops!
Occupations are not wars;
occupations are resolved by political processes!
Those who sold it should be imprisoned, tried, executed!
The name of America is being dragged through the mud!

Morality & religion is equated;
twist & turn to, manipulate people into a “view” or “side!”
That is very bad!

Nowadays (in politics), it’s good old-fashioned “civical manipulation!”

Killing One Is Murder;
Killing Thousands Is Foreign Policy!

The whole immigration issue (question, matter, subject) is about “cheap labor!”
It’s about the “increase of product!”
Drive Down Wages, & Labor Costs!
Legalize Slavery In The U. S!

5.2.7
Even amongst the anti-war peoples, at least this is a great start, and G. W. Bush wont even go for this!
Through May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December!
It’s doing what the people (regardless of status, rank, origin, race, sexual orientation, gender) of the USA want!
ENOUGH!

(Then Governor) G. W. Bush was calling for “timelines,” in 1999, when (then President) Bill Clinton was calling for adventures into the Balkins to stop the civil war there!

5.2.7
They say that loads of (innumerable, myriad, countless) people have eaten scores of chickens contaminated with melamine! The melamine is in beef, too! But there have been no recalls!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Since 1.1.7, though, I’m vegan; don’t have to worry!

Mom’s wear a bunch of different hats!
According to republicans in power, MOM should receive a 3% pay raise this year!
Now, that’s a lot!

“We all care!” – G. W. Bush

“We can’t stand our ground if we can’t find it!” – Nancy Pelosi

The ultimate inkling (hint, sign) to oppression is to claim “victim hood!”
They want religion to control government!
By the republicans, a ($) billion dollars ($) was handed over to religious organizations, before the 2004 elections!

As soon as I’m “smarter,” I want to get the hell out of this crazy (foolish, insane, mad, extreme, fanatical, wild, stupid) country!
Who needs intelligent, smart people in America when all of the stupid, idiotic are doing nothing for it, & are destroying it!

Get out there, get (really & truly) active, get more people to vote!

I don’t want my “religion” taken by some politician who is paying off the church!
SEPERATION OF CHURCH & STATE!

The G. W. Bush administration is guilty of emptying the treasury, guilty of theft (robbery, stealing, pilfering, thievery, larceny, shoplifting, burglary)!
Impeach The Bastards!

“This administration should get a clue; it’s not working!” – Nancy Pelosi

Don’t vote!
Your vote doesn’t matter,
because God ordained G. W. Bush to be President of America!
Just stay home & pray!

5.2.7
Today, what is being subpoenaed is all White House emails!

The Iraq war, really, is not a war;
It’s an “illegal occupation of another country!”

The Democrats want a clean bill (legislation) in the White House! The President doesn’t accept (recognize, agree to, understand, allow, believe) anything “clean!”

On global warming:
There are ABSOLUTES!
What don’t these Conservatives get about what the earth is doing?

The policies have failed;
It’s (horribly) failed!
They’ve been wrong on everything; absolutely everything!
We’ve been taken by the Cabal;
They’ll be cutting us up, & it doesn’t matter how much we scream!
They’ll get their funding, & Bush will get what he wants (open-ended policy; that has not changed, and never will)!

“Success is not ‘no violence,’ but ‘sectarian violence down,’ where people feel comfortable about living their daily lives!” – G. W. Bush

We can either cut the funding to the war, or impeach the President; that’s what it’s going to come to!
Things just haven’t gotten bad enough (yet) for that to happen!

The Bushies are clamping down (& establishing “restrictions”) on soldiers “blogging;” the government don’t want any of that happening!

5.2.7
G. W. Bush has just accomplished his 2nd veto, during his tenure in office!
G. W. Bush, on Tuesday evening (5.1.7), vetoed the Iraq war funding supplemental legislation!
So, the Democrats (now) say that they are not going to cut the war funding! That’s where we are at, today!
Democrats in Congress will hang with the people for as long as possible, but G. W. Bush will, probably, get what he wants!
The Democrats admit that they (realistically) don’t have enough votes to override the President’s veto (of the “war funding, with a timetable” legislation)!
“There’s not an easy way out! The easy road is the wrong road!” – G. W. Bush
We need accountability, respect, stability, a change of path in Iraq!
Bush says that he doesn’t agree with that way of going forward!
There were not terrorists in Iraq until after we went there!
G. W. Bush is not going to take benchmarks, or a timetable, or anything but just endless war!
Endless war is Bush’s plan; other than that, he has no plan on Iraq, and he’s never had a plan on Iraq!
Bush is going to get what he wants; he’ll get the money (without the timetable, without the benchmarks, without an end to the war while he’s in office) that he wants!
Bush feels much power; he feels real solid, right now!
It doesn’t at all matter what the American people desire!

The State department just released a report about “terrorists threats” being up 25% (around the world), because of our presence (attendance) in Iraq!

We’ve done a good job of (at) gutting the country!
The Gas prices! The refineries can’t seem to run on time (or properly)!
When people have to choose a $500.00 filling, or the payment of rent, there’s a hitch in America!
Where’s the storm, the tempest, the squall, the gale, the protest (complaint, objection, gripe, remonstration, dispute, disapproval), the dissent, the passion, the people’s power!?
This is political! Everything in Washington is political!
There’s “horsetrading” going on, presently!
Ravage our resources, fritter away our lives, misuse our Policies, staying in Iraq!

Do we respect the rule of law!?
In 1886, the populace fought for workers rights!
Now, we have a (yearly) massive May Day (workers rights) “fight!”
No person is “illegal!”
No “immigrant” is “illegal!”
There’s no mention, yet, of a “mass migration” due to global warming! In years to come, we will be moving North!
Let’s talk about drinking water, farming, land values, investment, getting a piece of the rock!
It’s not an issue of “overpopulation!” It’s an issue of our “choices,” and our “actions;” in how we treat the environment, the earth, the air (we breathe)!

G. W. Bush is acting like a king (ruler, sovereign, emperor), already; he doesn’t pay attention to the will of the American people, as if they never voted!
And, of coarse, he doesn’t want for Americans to have the right to vote,
& he doesn’t want for the votes (at least, the democratic votes) to be counted!

There are people, right now, dying (for our right to disagree)! Is disagreement a right, or a privilege!?

There are, now, 9 million millionaires in the United States; that is an all time high; SPECTACULAR (stunning, impressive, fabulous, extravagant, brilliant)!

4.30.7
Its official: Prince Harry will be doing duty in Iraq!
There was concern that Prince Harry would, certainly, be a target for insurgents!

SAY NO TO TORTURE!

People are dumb, stupid “animals;”
and they choose to not vote!
Bush for President; I mean, c’mon!

We’re living in a “police state;” do you get it now!?

The President’s veto pen is back in action, Tuesday, 5.1.7
“That’s not to say that I’m not open to their (Congress’) ideas; I am!” – G. W. Bush

The Bush government is dedicated to burying the truth, & burying justice!

The Ultra Conservatives are destroying our Democracy, and Constitution, and Bill of Rights!

4.30.7
“I look forward to working with members of both parties, & be given legislation that doesn’t set “artificial timetables!” – G. W. Bush

Wal-Mart denying employees their human rights, & causing “fear” amongst its employees!

4.30.7
Another Bush Administration official republican hypocrite (Randall Tobias), who was equal to a deputy secretary of state, bites the dust; he resigns this weekend, after an interview with ABC NEWS!
It shows the immense (huge, vast, enormous, massive, gigantic, mammoth, giant, colossal) hypocrisy that these high-ranking Bush officials operate under!
The Conservatives & government officials feel that they’re exempt from prosecution, & that they have “credibility!” And, too, they go after the “massage business,” the “escort service,” the “prostitution ring” (charging them with crime), when they (themselves) are the ones participating in the so called “prostitution rings!”
The “massage-escort service,” allegedly involved in “prostitution,” has released its phone records, & there are more Bush administration officials & government officials, yet, to be “outed” by the Press!
G. W. Bush, a “happily” married Christian man, a man of “strong moral values,” has one of his key advisors out messing with prostitutes; G. W. Bush “saddened & disappointed, & wished Randy’s family well!”
Have a pleasant day, Randy, G. W. Bush says!
Randy, Randy, Randy!
He’s been meeting with prostitutes, for years!
He’s made people (around the country) sign pledges (& swear) that they oppose prostitution, & be celibate!
For many organizations in many countries, persuading people to use condoms is effective, reducing the cases of HIV & AIDS.
But Tobias comes in, makes people pledge to celibacy, & is “hypocritical!” And it is affecting the organizations around the world, and the loss of millions of dollars!

This was not “intelligence;”
This was “fabricated intelligence!”
This is as bad as “Hitler,” & almost as bad as “Hitler!”
Perceptibly, it’s not “Hitler’s Germany!”

Referring to Osama Bin Laden:
“I don’t know where he is; nor do I, I just don’t spend that much time on it!” – G. W. Bush
G. W. Bush doesn’t care (for finding Bin Laden) because it’s not Bin Laden who is to blame; it’s the G. W. Bush administration to blame (for 9.11)!

Conservative republicans, natural constituents of this President, should have known better! They should have known better! They’re “stupid, unintelligent!”
This was a propaganda campaign, committed against the American people!

In 2002, there were no WMD, except in the hands of American troops & American government!

Once, George Bush Sr did try talking to his son (G. W. Bush), telling him not to attack Iraq, but G. W. would not listen to his dad; he was sure to do what he wanted to do, sure to go along with (war architect) Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Tenet, Powell, Delay, & all of the cronies of the administration!

G. W. Bush said that he “knew nothing” of 9.11, prior to it occurring;
And government officials find that very “discouraging, & surprising!”
Long before they were in the White House, the Bushies started in on plotting to take over Iraq, well before they set in motion taking over America!

We have the sickest, most twisted, freakiest tyrants that you can find, currently, in the White House!

George Tenet was perfect for G. W. Bush’s “style of intelligence!”

Hillary’s jacket (at the democratic debates) was fabulous;
if I can find out who made that, I’d buy it in ten colors!

“The damage to my reputation; that’s what I’m angry about!” – George Tenet
Milli Vanilli has more credit then George Tenet!

“We wrote that they (the “terrorists”) definitely had WMD, because the whole United States thought that they had them (WMD)!” – George Tenet
This was planned chaos!
This was planned invasion!
This was planned occupation!
So that they (the Bushies) could have “chaos,” & a planned warfare (conflict, combat, battle)!

“There’s no evidence global warming is man-made!” – G. W. Bush
ALL OF THE EVIDENCE IS “HERE!!!”

“These terrorists: they don’t get on a ‘no fly list!’
They don’t get on a ‘watch list!’
All of this data & operations & reports, & we missed it; human being’s make mistakes!
Truth matters to us!” – George Tenet

Intelligence gathers, everything matters!
“It doesn’t work like that!” – G. W. Bush

4.30.7
Now, the President wants to go to war somewhere else! Cheney’s been wanting to go since 1998! We’re going to market the war, & put up for sale (put on the market, advertise) it to the American people, & slay American’s, exterminate troops, trash families, raze democracy, make heaps of riches on oil!

………………………….

Song:
Just who do you think you are?
You’re never going to get my love!
You’re never going to break my heart!

………………………….

Before 2001 (& before G. W. Bush’s first term in office), the Bushies were seeking ways to attack Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, & other countries, until the republicans become the EMPIRE that they (long for &) feel like being!

Theoretical pre-war “intelligence:”
“There’s going to be multiple, spectacular attacks in America, & we need to launch preemptive attack in Afghanistan, immediately!”

4.30.7
Why be right-wing when you can be hard right-wing!
We have a hooker scandal in the White House, again!
Let’s see: does it include the assumed (unspecified, unspoken, unsaid) sexual affair/liaison of G. W. Bush & Condoleeza Rice!?

The facts are:
The Bush Administration flat out lied!
There are no connections between 9.11, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden,
WMD, Iraq, Afghanistan, Baghdad!

The Bush Administration is the manufacturer of terrorism, terrorists, terror, WMD, violence, murder, death, destruction; with never an evident plan for rebuilding what they (the Bushies) tear down (tear up)!
In the last year, terror (worldwide) has shot up 25%, and deaths have shot up 40%, the terror having been fueled by the incidents in Iraq!
Thank you Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rove, Rumsfeld, Rice, “Bushies,” republicans, & all of the Bush lovers!

4.30.7
Tony Snow, after time off work & visits with cancer doctors, is back at work, now!
And he’s, NOW, saying:
“Saddam Hussein & Iraq have nothing to do with each other; nobody ever said
that!”

It’s been 4 years since G. W. Bush declared “Mission Accomplished!”
It’s about “oil issues” & “power,” first & foremost!

G. W. Bush says that he is willing to “go back to work with the democrats, after vetoing the legislation (when it has gotten to his desk)!”

G. W. Bush’s attack on Iraq, and our presence in Iraq, has increased “terror attacks” around the world!

G. W. Bush is AWOL (that is, “absent without leave”);
We need intervention!
G. W. Bush’s “strategy” has failed us (all)!
His policies, and actions, and procedures are “chaos!”
G. W. Bush is leading us into further trouble along the road to the next President of America (that is, as long as G. W. Bush doesn’t declare “Martial Law” (military rule, government by the army, stratocracy, state of emergency, junta) & cancel the 2008 Elections), creating the very Unitary Executive Authority (& Dictatorship) that he has been “planning” for (well over his entire two terms in office)!
“I’ll do it my way!” – G. W. Bush

The Latin word for “earth” is terra; like the war on terra!’
WAR ON EARTH!

No (More) Global Warming!
No More War!

4.30.7
The White House doesn’t want any updates on the “surge” (in Iraq) until early September; Bush doesn’t want anyone to know the truth (facts)!
But Bush gives out his own updates, saying that the “surge” is working!

That Saddam Hussein had any association with 9.11 (or any operational act against America) is one big fat lie!
And Tenet denies any torture of people!
“I DON’T TALK ABOUT TECHNIQUES, & WE DON’T TORTURE PEOPLE!” – Georgie Tenet
WE CALL IT “ENHANCED INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES!”

4.30.7
Bart Simpon is riding his skate board, NAKED!
Big, yellow, naked, cartoon boy “running” bare (uncovered)!

The Bush Administration to restore honesty, integrity, & dignity to the Oval office(!); ya, that’s going to happen!
SEX SCANDAL IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!!!
Randal Tobias, massage therapists, sex, Bush Administration officials, & much, much more!
IT WAS ALL ABOUT MASSAGE; NO SEX INVOLVED, so they say!
These officials, in the HIV/AIDS programs that they are associated with, have to practice abstinence, & they have to sign a pledge opposing prostitution!
They’re all hypocrites!

WHAT’S NEXT FOR DEMOCRATS, AFTER G. W. BUSH VETOES THE IRAQ WAR FUNDING LEGISLATION!

The Left is always right, & the Right is always wrong!

Liberal, & proud of it!

Black’s, & Hispanic’s,& “other-than-White’s” are more likely (than Whites) to get pulled over, searched, & arrested (by police officers)!

So far, 104 troops have died in Iraq, in the month of April, 2007! That’s progress!
And that’s the most (American troops) to die in a month-period, so far, this (2007) year!

There was never any connection between Saddam Hussein & Osama Bin Laden
The Bush administration was telling the world just the opposite!
Dickie Cheney, G. W. Bush, Condi Rice; they all make up their mind that Saddam had WMD!
Tom Delay, Colon Powell, George Tenet, Paul Wolfowitz; they’re all lyers to the American people!
They’re all “scumbags!”
They’re all a part of this Cabal (group) to lie to the American people!

The evil Bushies; they’re the proprietor’s (vendor’s, landlord’s) of WMD!

G. W. Bush isn’t “President;”
He isn’t anything to the American people!

So many republicans are ignoring the will of the American people!
They don’t recover New Orleans! $854 million offered to recover New Orleans; $814 million has never been used!
They don’t recover anything, anywhere, anytime!
This is the most incompetent Presidency/Administration, ever (and the republicans wanted it that way)!

George Tenet wants his reputation back (there is no reputation)! He wants to profit, now, off of his pack of lies! And he wants “redemption!”
George Tenet is a “scumbag!” George Tenet is not a good guy!
After all, George Tenet accepted the “Medal of Freedom” from G. W. Bush!
Do not buy George Tenet’s new book;
Do not forgive him, either!
They have an “agenda,” & they’re not refined (over & done) with giving it out!

4.29.7
At a Kansas City shopping center, a gunman takes two lives, injures two people, &, then, he (himself) is shot dead (by police)!
The country is “gun-happy,” (especially) since the Virginia Tech shootings & the resulting media coverage of it!

A box of 500 condoms (addressed to the sexuality division), at a Seattle area school, leads to an evacuation (& a terror alert) of the school building!
