Back after a long time away....My thoughts...Osama Dead and the nine lives

In a propaganda piece reeking of US Triumphalism, two alleged journalists, Adam Goldman and Chris Brummitt, of the Associated Press or, rather, of the White House Ministry of Truth, write, or copy off a White House or CIA press release that "Osama bin Laden, the terror mastermind killed by Navy SEALs in an intense firefight, was hunted down based on information first gleaned years ago (emphasis added) from detainees at secret CIA prison sites in Eastern Europe, officials disclosed Monday."
 
How many Americans will notice that the first paragraph of the "report" justifies CIA prisons and torture? Without secret prisons and torture "the terror mastermind" would still be running free, despite having died from renal failure in 2001.
 
How many Americans will have the wits to wonder why the "terror mastermind" ­ who defeated not merely the CIA and the FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with Israel's Mossad and the intelligence services of NATO, who defeated NORAD, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff, the US Air Force, and Air Traffic Control, who caused security procedures to fail four times in US airports in one hour on the same day, who caused the state-of-the-art Pentagon air defenses to fail, and who managed to fly three airliners into three buildings with pilots who did not know how to fly ­ has not pulled off any other attack in almost ten years? Do Americans really believe that a government's security system that can so totally fail when confronted with a few Saudi Arabians with box cutters can renew itself to perfection overnight?
 
How many Americans will notice the resurrection of the long missing bin Laden as "terror mastermind" after his displacement by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Guantanamo prisoner who confessed to being the "mastermind of 9/11" after being water-boarded 183 times?
 
Americans are too busy celebrating to think, a capability that seems to have been taken out of their education.
 
Americans are so enthralled over the death of bin Laden that they do not wonder why information gleamed years ago would take so long to locate a person who was allegedly living in a million-dollar building equipped with all the latest communication equipment next to the Pakistani Military Academy. Allegedly, the "most wanted criminal" was not moving from hide-out to hide-out in desolate mountains, but ensconced in luxury quarters in broad daylight. Nevertheless, despite his obvious location, it took the CIA years to find him after claiming to have gained information of his whereabouts out of captives in secret prisons. This is the image of the CIA as the new Keystone Cops.
 
In an immediate follow-up to the announcement that the Navy SEALs and CIA mercenaries acted in an exemplary fashion following the rules of engagement while a cowardly bin Laden hid behind a woman shield when the gunfire erupted, we have from the pressitutes that "U.S. officials conceded the risk of renewed attack. The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge bin Laden's death, CIA Director Leon Panetta wrote in a memo. . . . Within a few hours, the Department of Homeland Security warned that bin Laden's death was likely to provide motivation for attacks from 'homegrown violent extremists'."
 
John Brennan, White House counter-terrorism adviser, told reporters that "it was inconceivable that the terrorist fugitive didn't have support in Pakistan where his hideout had been custom built six years ago in a city with a heavy military presence."
 
So the claimed murder of bin Laden by the US in a sovereign foreign country with which the US is not at war, a crime under international law, has set up three more self-serving possibilities:
 
Terrorists will avenge bin Laden's death, says the CIA, setting up another false flag attack to keep the profits flowing into the military/security complex and the power flowing into the unaccountable CIA. Homeland Security can extend the domestic police state, abuse of travelers, and arrests of war protestors. And Pakistan is under the gun of invasion and takeover (for India, of course) for shielding bin Laden.
 
The Israel Lobby's representatives in the US Congress quickly fell in with the agenda. Senator Carl Levin, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, declared that the Pakistani Army and intelligence agency "have a lot of questions to answer, given the location, the length of time and the apparent fact that this was actually ­ this facility was actually build for bin Laden, and its closeness to the central location of the Pakistani army."
 
The two reporters question nothing in the government's propaganda. Instead, the reporters join in the celebration. Nevertheless they let slip that "officials were weighing the release of at least one photo taken of bin Laden's body as part of what Brennan called an effort to make sure 'nobody has any basis to try and deny the death.'"
 
As the Guardian and European newspapers have revealed, the photo of the dead bin Laden is a fake. As the alleged body has been dumped into the ocean, nothing remains but the word of the US government, which lied about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and al Qaeda connections, about yellowcake, about Iranian nukes, and, according to thousands of experts, about 9/11. Suddenly the government is telling us the truth about bin Laden's death?
 
My initial interpretation of the faked bin Laden death was that Obama needed closure of the Afghan war and occupation in order to deal with the US budget deficit. Subsequent statements from Obama regime officials suggest that the agenda might be to give Americans a piece of war victory in order to boost their lagging enthusiasm. The military/security complex will become richer and more powerful, and Americans will be rewarded with vicarious pleasure in victory over enemies. Before you think twice think once wait...that might not be enough......

Friday Yes That Day!

It's Friday! Thank God. Well it's been a long week and I'm ready to hit the door right at 4:59p. This week had been going good thus far and this weekend there is many things to do. I might suggest that you attend Luminaria at Hemisphair park. I have never been but I do appreciate lighting and crafty artwork. The weather should be wonderful through the weekend but you never know with the meteorologist here on the local news channel. I will possibly not blog over the weekend unless something happens out of the ordinary or maybe I will share my weekend travels and adventure with you. I never thought I had an artsy side to me. It's amzing considering I was once a bad boy lol.  Till then have a good weekend and remember to make every minute memorable and if you don't.... _________.  Use your imagination.


Luminaria 2011 is a child of Hemisfair ‘68, a glimpse of light and how it intersects and interacts with art in San Antonio.  Luminaria 2011 seeks to reignite that moment in time, by reimagining HemisFair as a canvas for enlightened, innovative, and interactive contemporary artwork from all artistic disciplines. It honors the past as it celebrates the future.  It weaves its way through the light, air, earth, wind, and water, illuminating the hidden secrets of a park in the heart of a modern  city.

The internet fooled you too!

We were all duped! I got a message from a friend telling me Adam Sandler died today. I actually felt bad for about 0 seconds. Not really but the age of getting information faster than ever via internet we find an idiot with nothing better to do besides making up a rumor that makes no difference to most of us. However we fell for it. It was a lie and everything is back to normal. Jokingly I've been feeling like the internet was the real antichrist. I've been so intertwined with browsing the net and I spend way too much time on the internet. What ever happened to the days when everything was normal? Now we are dependant on some type of electronic device whether it be a cell phone tv laptop etc. I certainly don't want to be a caveman but I can do without all of the above. What ever happened to playing marbles or pencil fight. Okay maybe not slap yourself right now if you imagined yourself for a brief second playing marbles or pencil fighting. I shouldnt complain maybe after visiting a third world country I would appreciate the luxuries we have. I have so many topics but I can't write everything in one night how else would you stay interested? Well tomorrow is Friday and its irony but tonight I will set the alarm clock to wake me up in the morning then I will use my electric shaver and then I will use my GPS system when I get lost. Hypocrisy yes but hey what else am I to do. The last time I followed the stars and the signs I ended up 45 miles from where I was suppose to be. All I know is when you don't rely on modern technology you may end up not staying up to date with what is really going on......even if its a lie. Last words of wisdom...  Don't believe 90 percent of what you hear and half of what you see.....

The Events that make the world go around

Morning. Another beautiful cool morning with just a touch of traffic. Speaking of traffic the people here in San Antonio can barely drive and I always seem to encounter the road rager from hell. Pause. Standing on the forefront yesterday off the coast of California 1million fish washed up in the marina. Just imagine the smell of sardines that will wake you up. The explanation for this is oxygen deprivation.What!! There is a better reason for this but I won't go all apocolyptic on you. Seems everyday something happens that just makes you wonder. The other bologna that is happening is this whole 2012 world ending theory. I got some news for you. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! The calender may end but the world isn't. Just put down the spiked arsenic fruit punch and step away from the cliff. I'm certain getting closer to that day it will be a frenzy so stock up on survival goods..you won't use them so save your receipt. To round off this morning blog and to ease your mind off 2012 not that you need to worry about next week or anything I left you with something to wonder.....or maybe not.

One day till Friday

Three!!! This is the sound in the background just ambience to my ears. The Spurs are playing the Pistons so what does that mean absolutely nothing except win number 52. I wouldn't waste to much time pondering this but I don't think the Spurs don't have enough size to go all the way. I won't go into depth about this just an observation. Anyways we hear and see so much in a course of a day and you pick and choose what is needed and the rest is trivial meaningless pick another word I can keep going. The news media relays the daily news and most of it I can even relate to with the exception nothing. Spring break is around the corner and hopefully the skies are blue and the sun shines bright most people are expecting fun fun fun. Most will spend time with family and friends. I've lived in a vicious cycle and have not really done much during any holidays but since getting older I appreciate these kind of moments. Fiesta is in April and I'm ready to enjoy the food although not the 10 pound weight gain. It amazes me when I see someone eating a triple cheese burger and drinking a slim fast shake. I got the blank look too. These are the words for the night so sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite and depending where you live it may be rats. :)
I give [this] to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it.

Following the wrong people

The day started off early. What a boring start. Well last night I missed my entry so here we go. For the first time in a while I actually sat and watched TV and boy o boy let me tell you I didn't know whether to break my TV or endure this so called reality TV shows that play on every other channel. What ever happened to true and creative TV programming? I think I got caught up in the moment of sensationlism or any other lism you can think of. Boring to say the least but when you got guys with New York accents with bad haircuts what more do you need. I think maybe we have been paying attention and idolizing to many of the wrong ideals. Anyways today seems to be normal and life couldnt be any worse. Last word of the day be true to yourself or be fake at least you are being who you really want to be.....
