We Are Working On It
POLITICAL ESSAYS We Are Working On It ` ` Sunday June 25, 2006 NY Times Magazine [1] An Anti-Addiction Pill? ` Well, and what is addiction? ` "...addiction...appears to be a complicated disorder affecting brain processes responsible for motivation, decision making, pleasure seeking, inhibitory control and the way we learn and consolidate information and experiences." ` Under the label "disorder," The Superpower's "small, invitation-only crowd of neuroscientists, clinicians and public policy makers" are studying how humans exist. ` How humans exist? ` HOW THEY ASSERT THEIR INDEPENDENCE! ` ` From my second essay on "Rumsfeld's Europe" [2]: ` "...BBC quotes The Superpower's Treasury Secre- tary. ` "He blurts out that money tracking's an 'effective weapon in the larger [!] war on terror.' ` "The larger war = the one on the world's peoples. ` "Just by existing, they are a 'terror' to those who aim at world supremacy." ` ` Returning to the magazine: ` "'In 5 or 10 years, we will be treating addiction very differently,' predicts...the director of the [national] institute on drug abuse, who attended the M.I.T. conference and presented a lecture, 'Addiction: The Neurobiology of Free Will Gone Awry'...." ` Neurobiology? For instance: ` There's a brain chemical that "travels to the parts of the brain responsible for solidifying memory...." ` One of those parts "learns and stores emotional mem- ories...." ` Emotional memories? ` Pilots shooting rockets into homes in Iraq. Troops shutting off all utilities in surrounded towns in Iraq. Psywar units organizing and financing death squads in Iraq. Things like that. ` "Some researchers hypothesize that through a com- bination of medicine and behavioral therapy, addicts could 'unlearn' these powerful memories..., making them less likely to relapse when they see a cue." ` Medicine in Iraq? Alcohol. Behavioral therapy in Iraq? Torture. A cue in Iraq? The Superpower's troops. ` Relapse in Iraq? ` UNLIMITED RESISTANCE. ` For Bu$h, that's Free Will Gone Awry. ` ` From Lewis Pyenson's book *Civilizing Mission* [3]: ` "Warriors have figured prominently in American science since the middle of the nineteenth century, when military operations absorbed around one- quarter of all federal funds allocated to scientific endeavors. ` "Viewed in this light, military penetration into re- search universities during the middle of the twentieth century reflects the desire of generals and admirals to reassert their authority as custodians of nature and interpreters of natural law. ` "The dominion of research universities over science is indeed a short-term historical phenomenon, ex- isting in Germany for about a hundred years and in the United States for half that span; ` "by the second third of the twentieth century major research installations had quit the groves of academ- ia for the *campus martius* [the camp of war]. ` "To identify this commerce between learned pro- fessors and professional killers is NOT to assert that scientific *discourse* --what appeared in re- search publications-- derived from military needs. ` "It is to indicate the natural advantages of the mili- tary mind in carrying out many kinds of research project. ` "The battlefield is an infernal laboratory: ` "Athena is both goddess of war and avatar of wis- dom." ` ` ` ` [1] ` http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/magazine/25addiction.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print ` [2] Rumsfeld's Europe - Part 2: ` http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PoliticalEssays/message/777?l=1 ` [3] Pages 349 and 350 of-- ` Lewis Pyenson ` Civilizing Mission: Exact Sciences and French Over- seas Expansion, 1830-1940 ` Johns Hopkins University Press ` 1993 ` 378+ pages ` ISBN 0 8018 4421 5 ` This book is the third in a trilogy "devoted to cul- tural imperialism and exact sciences."

After a while, though, they regained some banker's probity; and perceived some of the tricks The Superpower was up to. ` Supposedly, it was gathering information about ter- rorists. But that operation was only a cover for the real deal: gathering information to blackmail politi- cans, especially East European politicians. ` ` This latest revelation may the one that triggers the dissolution of the international banking "system," now at the mercy of The Superpower's loose can- nons. ` ` ` ` [1] ` http://www.kremlin.ru/eng/text/news/2006/06/107383.shtml ` [2] ` Thursday, June 22, 2006 Associated Press Russia Says Exercises Have No Direct Focus ` http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/22/AR2006062201193_pf.html ` [3] ` http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/23/washington/23intel.html?_r=1&oref=login ` `

We cannot surrender. We can- not go wobbly." ` Between defecating and going blind, there's denial! ` ` Several times the Iraqi Resistance offered terms to The Superpower. ` Each time, The Superpower refused. After each re- fusal it committed bigger and better crimes. ` The failures of The Superpower's bigger and better crimes have now given rise to its One Big Crime: its attempt to exterminate the Iraqi people. ` Now there are no terms, ` ONLY UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. ` It will be enforced without any intervention by The Coward Congress. ` ` Wednesday June 21, 2006 Associated Press [2] AP: U.S. Military Bringing Equipment Home ` "In the last four months, the Army has tagged 7,000 Humvees and 17,000 other pieces of equipment to be shipped to the United States to be rebuilt." ` "Most of what's being returned to the United States are vehicles and aircraft that need total rebuilds...." ` "And the cost of repairing the equipment once it's back is huge. The backlog already is measured in years and some analysts say the price tag could ex- ceed $50 billion." ` This is maybe good news? ` "...analysts say that removing so much equipment... suggests commanders are laying the groundwork for an extensive [troop] reduction." ` There is no good news from The Superpower. ` "...the equipment will enter a multi-billion-dollar re- pair program - known as reset - that rebuilds equip- ment for future wars." ` Now you know the full meaning of the words: ` Surrender in Iraq 'Not a Solution' ` ` ` ` [1] ` http://www.forbes.com/business/energy/feeds/ap/2006/06/20/ap2827560.html ` or ` http://www.localnewsleader.com/brocktown/stories/index.php?action=fullnews&id=196469 ` [2] ` http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/IRAQ_WAR_EQUIPMENT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT ` `

King Moses II
POLITICAL ESSAYS King Moses II ` ` Jane Jacob's book *The Death and Life of Great American Cities* was first published in 1961. It's still in print. ` She wrote: ` "...there is a quality even meaner than outright ugli- ness or disorder, and this meaner quality is ` THE DISHONEST MASK OF PRETENDED ORDER, ` achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is striving to exist...." ` Jacobs dealt with the pretended order and the real order at the city level. ` Now the pretended order and the real order have reached the world level. ` In Iraq, for instance, there's ` THE DISHONEST MASK OF PRETENDED ORDER ` while The Superpower actually wages its war of extermination against the Iraqi people. ` ` In 1961, Jacobs resisted the expressway world of Robert Moses, whose maxim was: ` "When you operate in an overbuilt metroplis [New York], you have to hack your way with a meat ax." ` You could say that Robert Moses anticipated 9/11. He was hell bent on hacking yet another express- way through New York City: this one through lower Manhattan. ` And now? ` The worldwide Real Order resists the war world of King Moses II, whose maxim amounts to this-- ` When you operate in an overpopulated world, you have to hack your way with self-cleaning axes that leave no fingerprints. ` That's what pretended order is all about. ` ` And Real World Order, what is it striving for? ` TO BE FREE ` free of The Superpower's PRYING NOSE ` free of The Superpower's WANDERING EYE ` free of The Superpower's LYING MOUTH ` free of The Superpower's KILLER-ROBOTS! ` ` ` ` See pages 140 and 298 (notes 51 and 52) of-- ` David Pinder ` Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power and Poli- tics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism ` Edinburgh University Press ` 2005 ` 354+ pages ` ISBN 0 7486 1488 5 (paperback) ` `

Roosevelt used a body double to sneak away for a meeting with his British counter- part during World War II. ` "...he had an impostor wave to crowds from the pres- idential yacht Potomac while FDR really was meeting Churchill off the coast of Newfoundland in August 1941." ` That's one way, but not the only way, an imposter can be used. ` Indeed, AP declares: ` "Not so often has the White House openly deceived Americans as it did in saying Bush was in one place when he was someplace else." ` That introduces another what if. ` Over the Atlantic on the way back from The Super- power's airport at Baghdad, was the impostor ` BURIED AT SEA? ` ` ` ` [1] ` http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/13/AR2006061300432_pf.html ` [2] ` http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PoliticalEssays/message/89?source=1&var=1 ` Page down to html tag, then read. ` `

The Spread
POLITICAL ESSAYS The Spread ` ` Monday, June 12, 2006 Washington Post Foreign Service Smoke of Iraq War 'Drifting Over Lebanon' ` This is a front page newsstory by the Post's foreign legion. ` Iraq War? The Superpower's continuing war of ex- termination against the Iraqi people *and* the Iraqi people's continuing war of extermination against the troops of The Superpower and its puppets. ` "...the war is building a profound legacy across the Arab world:...a subterranean reserve of men who... declare that the fight against the United States in Iraq is a model for the future." ` Across the Arab world, yes; but not restricted to the Arab world! ` "...Tripoli [in northern Lebanon]...is one of the most visible manifestations of the war, a...city being trans- formed by growing radicalism and religious fervor that may long outlast...the U.S. presence in Iraq [= its continuing war against the Iraqi people].... ` "Here, and elsewhere, that militancy may prove to be the inheritance of both the war and the Bush ad- ministration's professed aim of bringing democratic reform to the region." ` Professed? Another of The Liar's cover stories. ` A city being transformed? ` "Grievances against the United States are nothing new in a city like Tripoli. ` "For a generation, activists across the spectrum have bitterly criticized U.S. policy. ` "What has shifted in the aftermath of...the U.S. in- vasion of Iraq is the perception of that policy. ` "The critique is no longer about perceived double standards -- of excessive support for Israel, of backing Arab dictatorships. ` "Today, it is more generalized, universal and uncom- promising. ` "Popular sentiment here and elsewhere holds that U.S. policy amounts to a war on Islam, and...the con- flict is framed as one between the faithful and infi- dels, justice and injustice." ` ` The next step in the transformation is to drop chit- chat about "policy"; and to correctly perceive the ` INHERENT NATURE OF THE SUPERPOWER ` summed up in its Declaration of World $lavery, a declaration written in blood. ` A principal clause of that declaration is ` THERE SHALL BE NO JUSTICE EVER AGAIN ` ANYWHERE! ` --thus not in "the Arab world" alone, though for now West Asia *is* the main target of The Superpower's racism. ` ` ` ` http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/11/AR2006061100599_pf.html ` `
