` Wednesday June 27, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Getting Out From Under ` ` You remember how the army that got beat in WW 1 claimed it didn't lose on the battlefront, it got betrayed on the home- front. It is to laugh. ` But the same tactic is being prepared in Puppet-uk to see if it'll fly in The Superpower. ` How do I know? Simple. The Journal of Homeland Security has published "Home-Grown Nihilism: The Clash Within Civilizations" by Bill Durodie, a Senior Lecturer at Cranfield University in Puppet-uk. ` Such a one does not believe in Payback. ` So why the subway bombings in London in 2005? ` The supposed answer must be politically correct! ` Durodie warns us, "not being clear as to why [= not being politically correct] allows all manner of self-appointed ex- perts, pundits,and commentators...to project their own pet theory onto the situation with a view to shaping ensuing policy." ` Durodie's pet peeve is "the presumption that the attacks form- ed some kind of retribution [= Payback] for the British go- vernment’s having supported the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq...." ` He therefore demands that "We should not take the assertions of the bombers to have acted on behalf of other Muslims at face value." ` When it comes to successful Payback, DENY ALL! ` It then becomes easy for Durodie to assert "The real truth, then, about the London bombings may be that they were largely pointless and meaningless." ` A sly dog could not have said it better. ` ` Having thus wiped out the bombers, Durodie turns on his own. ` Who are they? Well, of course: "all manner of self-appointed experts, pundits, and commentators." ` He labels them "nihilist intellectuals," and lambastes them for all he's worth. ` Then at last, so as not to make too many enemies all at once, Durodie flies off to CloudLand, lamenting "a broader sense of alienation and confusion that has gripped the modern world." ` ` Shall we return from CloudLand and confront facts? Why not. ` This in particular is what I have in mind-- ` "The greatest lesson since Sept. 11, 2001, should be that regardless of U.S. actions or intent, ` the world overwhelmingly perceives ` American hypocrisy, arrogance, unrestrained military force and moral self-righteousness as ` THE MAJOR SOURCES OF WORLD INSTABILITY." ` That's at page 46 of the Armed Forces Journal for June in an article by a naval intelligence officer, Commander John Patch, now at the Office of Naval Intelligence. ` ` It figures, The Superpower is getting beat both by itself and by "the world." ` No blaming the one to the exclusion of the other! ` ` ` ` Durodie: ` Durodie ` Patch: ` Patch ` Edit>Find>instability. `

Why EU Must Kick UK Out – Part 2
` Monday June 25, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Why EU Must Kick UK Out - Part 2 ` ` In the first UK Out essay I made a specific point: ` {start} ` The Superpower's Puppet-uk is a member of the European Union. ` Puppet-uk's in a position to try every trick in the book to subvert closer unity of the Russian Federation and the EU. ` How convenient for The Superpower! ` The Superpower fears closer EU-RF unity since such unity can help defeat The Superpower's war on the independence of the EU. ` {end} ` ` In a followup essay --the decades-in-Afghanistan essay-- I made a different point: ` {start} ` Following The Superpower's orders, the incorrigible Puppet-uk again slaps Merkel and the EU in the face ` again prescribes its master's wild-goose-chase pill as a means of undermining the EU's independence. ` {end} ` ` Now, a third point. ` Under the June 24th headline "Italy's Prodi Says Europe Has Lost Common Spirit," Reuters reports: ` Prime Minister Prodi has "never seen with such painful clar- ity the existence of two Europes: ` one, of the majority that believes [in European goals] and wants to move ahead, ` the other, that pursues a reduction of the role of the Euro- pean Union as...[its] political objective." ` Concretely-- ` "Prodi lambasted Britain in particular for its 'obstinacy' in wanting a European anthem and flag excluded from the [new EU] treaty and for 'conducting a battle' against the EU Char- ter of Fundamental Rights." ` Even more concretely-- ` He asks "how can you involve citizens without involving their emotions? How can you give them pride to be European if the symbols of its pride are negated?" ` Prodi has forthrightly laid the facts on the table. ` ` Facts tell the tale-- ` The Superpower long ago declared war on the EU. ` Puppet-uk is its ally in Europe as it is in West Asia. ` THAT'S WHY EU MUST KICK UK OUT. ` ` ` ` UK Out # 1: ` UKOut1 ` Decades In: ` Decades ` Reuters: ` Reuters `

Aceh Autopsy – Part 2
` Sunday June 24, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Aceh Autopsy - Part 2 ` ` Let us go back to the late 1940s. Why? Well, this is why-- ` The New Zealand Herald newspaper reported September 25, 1999: ` "Top-secret wartime experiments were conducted off the coast of Auckland to perfect a tidal wave bomb...." ` "...[the] work was considered so significant...United States defence chiefs said that if the project had been completed before the end of the war it could have played a role as ef- fective as that of the atom bomb." ` "Papers stamped 'top secret' show the US and British military were eager for [Project] Seal to be developed in the post-war years too." ` "It is unclear what happened to Project Seal once the final report was forwarded to Wellington Defence Headquarters late in the 1940s." ` The Herald recently interviewed a former colleague of the head of Project Seal. ` He speculated "Whether it could ever be resurrected..."; and declared "Under some circumstances I think it could be devas- tating." ` ` And now? ` Under the June 23d headline "Sentient World: War Games On The Grandest Scale," the UK computer magazine The Register points out: ` "...the Sentient World Simulation (SWS)...will be a "synthetic mirror of the real world...," according to a concept paper for the project. "'SWS provides an environment for testing Psychological Opera- tions (PSYOP),' the paper reads, so that military leaders can 'develop and test multiple courses of action to anticipate and shape behaviors of adversaries, neutrals, and partners.'" ` What does shaping behaviors mean from a practical viewpoint? ` "Yank a country's water supply. Stage a military coup. SWS will tell you what happens next." ` The Register quotes a co-author of the paper: ` "Officials can also 'inject an earthquake or a tsunami and ob- serve their impacts (on a society)', Chaturvedi added." ` Now you know one part of what happened to Project Seal. ` ` And in 2004? ` Returning to the original "Aceh Autopsy" essay-- ` Associated Press sent out four seemingly separate newsstories about the 2004 tsunami, all dated December 18, 2005: ` One story calls "the Acehnese people...a long-ignored Indone- sian minority"; but states they "were already suffering through a bloody separatist movement and a brutal government crackdown when the sea rose up...." ` "...in Aceh...100-foot walls of water slamm[ed] into the coast at more than 350 mph." ` "In a moment, tens of thousands of people were dead and much of Aceh's coastline was in ruins." ` All this had an effect on the the Acehnese war for national liberation. ` For one thing, it suddenly became easier to insert alien "aid"- lings to further undermine Acehnese resistance. ` ` Now you know another part of what happened to Project Seal. ` ` ` ` Aceh Autopsy: ` Autopsy1 ` Register: ` Register `

Failure Folly
` Saturday June 23, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Failure Folly ` ` Under the June 22d headline "Iraq Deaths Don't Mean Failure, Pace Says," Washington Post reports: ` "The recent rise in U.S. troop deaths in Iraq is the 'wrong metric' to use in assessing the effectiveness of the new se- curity strategy for Baghdad...[said] the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...." ` These words might seem placid and calm, unexceptional even, but what they mean is-- ` The Superpower's ruling caste is so bloodthirsty it needs not only the blood of foreign victims but the blood of "its own." ` You're exaggerating! ` Let's see. ` At the news conference with Pace was Gates, The Superpower's War Secretary. ` Gates said "he had listened to lawmakers from both parties and decided that a confirmation hearing for Pace would 're- open all of the issues of the past six years' and would drag the nation through a painful process." ` *All* of the issues, mind you. ` The Superpower's political caste would surely drag the nation --the ordinary Evil People-- through *the* painful process of Wall Street's thirst for the blood of "its own." ` And Wall Street directed its top dogs to avoid that like the plague. ` It is impossible to exaggerate the doings in and of The Super- power. ` ` ` ` WP: ` WP `

The Unbelievable Superpower – Part 6
` Sunday June 17, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS The Unbelievable Superpower - Part 6 ` ` In my April 14, 2005 "The Unbelievable Superpower - Part 3" essay, I cited an April 11, 2005 AP newsstory headlined "Center Tries to Keep Computer Data Safe." ` Surprisingly, that newsstory's still alive and well at Ohio State University's International and Homeland Security website. ` The acronym for the center referred to in the headline of the AP story is: TRUST. That stands for, duh, Team for Research in Ubiquitous Secure Technology. ` The center's "integrated, multidisciplinary approach... will allow solutions to synergistically emerge from a 'holistic systems' view of computer security, software technology, analysis of complex interacting systems, and economic and public policy." ` Translation: ` (a) the center will serve the day-to-day interests of its computer industry backers and their customers; ` (b) the center will serve the permanent offensive and defensive interests of The Superpower. ` Among recent examples of The Superpower's offensive interests: attacking Estonia's computers in such a way that the attack seems to come from Russia. ` ` Returning now to my 2005 essay. AP is quoting the TRUST director: ` "The idea is to look at ways to build more secure sys- tems before a disaster along the lines of an 'electronic Pearl Harbor.'" ` I pointed out that "the electronic Pearl Harbor occured two days after he spoke." ` Eh? ` Under the April 13, 2005 headline "Music Group To Sue Students Over Downloads," AP reports: ` "The Recording Industry Association of America...said it will file federal lawsuits...against 405 students at 18 colleges with access to the Internet2 network." ` I explained the consequences: ` "More and more Internet2 students, already up to their necks in debt to pay for their schooling, will be hit fi- nancially. Severely so! ` "These are the folks TRUST will depend upon to do the grunt research 'to keep the nation's computer data safe ....'" ` That was a couple of years ago. ` Now... ` Under the June 16, 2007 headline "100Gbps Internet2 Link Spans US," the UK computer magazine The Regis- ter reports: ` "A 100 [gigabits per second] link between the east and west coasts of the US has been established for the first time...." ` It adds: Internet2 is "the ultimate platform for network Doom...." ` ` And a couple of years ago? ` AP is again quoting the TRUST director: ` "If one thinks about the possibilities, they're really ` QUITE FRIGHTENING." ` ` ` ` Part 3: ` Part3 ` AP: ` AP ` TRUST: ` TRUST ` Register: ` Register ` Net 2: ` Net2 ` I capitalized the words "quite frightening" in the Part 3 essay. `

Latter-Days Exodus – Part 2
` Friday June 15, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Latter-Days Exodus - Part 2 ` ` Under the June 14th headline "IAEA Head: Iran Attack 'Act of Madness,'" AP reports: ` (a) "...both the U.S. and Israel have refused to outright dismiss the possibility that they might target Iran mili- tarily if it refuses to back down." ` (b) "The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said...an attack on Iran...would be 'an act of madness,' an indirect warning to the United States and Israel." ` Indirect warning? ` Reminding The Superpower not to let its Puppet-israel get out of hand. ` Why this concern by an official of The Superpower's UNO-front that nothing rash be done? ` ` Excerpts from the June 13th Iraqi Baath Party state- ment "The Second Attack on the Tomb of the Two I- mams in Samarra’: Who Did It and Why?”: ` "...the American-Iranian Agreement of 28 May 2007 ...was reached during talks between the American and Iranian ambassadors in Iraq, ` [it] put the official finishing touches on the existing cooperation and accord between the two countries, ` [it confirmed] the renewal and deepening of their co- operation in their effort to solve their problems at the expense of Iraq, ` and [it developed] their cooperation for the sake of renewing their efforts to heat up the situation in Iraq once again, using new methods after all the efforts to ignite sectarian strife had failed.” ` ` But all this cooperation and accord talk cannot do away with the basic discord. ` From my December 9, 2006 "Latter-Days Exodus" essay (re-edited): ` "The gulf states that are host to U.S. military bases -- Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar-- fear Iran could retaliate against them [were The Superpower or its Proxy to physically attack Iran]." ` "Iran's nukes are targeted first of all on The Super- power's Proxy. ` Only then on The Superpower's other military bases. ` But Iran does not have any nukes! ` But Iran does not have any! ` But Iran does not have! ` But Iran does not! ` But Iran does." ` ` ` ` AP: ` AP ' IRR: ` IRR ` Essay: ` Essay `

Sudden Abrogation
` Thursday June 14, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Sudden Abrogation ` ` PART 1 ` Some big events have small beginnings. ` I have in mind ` "The Islamic Republic of Iran demands the immediate withdrawal of British forces from Basra." ` reported by Reuters February 17, 2006. ` A week later Iran's agents blew up the tomb of the Shi'ite Imam 'Ali al-Hadi located way north of Basra in Sunni-populated Sammara' with the aim of setting off sectarian warfare. ` I then could write ` "You now may wonder who's beating whom in that already-declared IRAN - SUPERPOWER WAR." ` You may follow the beginnings of this big event in the three "Declaration Of War" essays URLed below. ` ` PART 2 ` From my June 6, 2006 "With Decades Of Hypocrisy" essay: ` "In case you're wondering what contempt for 'the rules' might mean from a purely practical point of view: abrogation of the The $uperpower's public debt." ` More precisely-- ` From my October 11, 2006 "A Helping Hand" essay: ` "...The Superpower will not tolerate any attempt by Japan's rulers to assert real independence. ` Japan's rulers should keep in mind that The Superpow- er can suddenly abrogate its external debt!" ` ` That big abrogation is having small beginnings --at a commercial real estate conference. ` Under the June 12, 2007 headline "Greenspan Not Wor- ried Chinese Will Dump Treasuries," Reuters reports: ` "Greenspan played down the prospect that Chinese authorities would sell Treasuries in earnest, forcing a sharp spike in U.S. interest rates." ` "Still, Greenspan said the reason such a withdrawal was unlikely was that China would not have anyone to sell the securities to, hardly the sort of comfort jittery bond investors were seeking." ` From a purely practical point of view-- ` Not have anyone to sell Treasuries to?

Lies And Unlies – Part 2
` Wednesday June 13, 2007 POLITICAL ESSAYS Lie And Unlie - Part 2 ` ` You may remember from the original essay: ` "Under the June 4th headline 'Iranian Weapons Found In Afghanistan,' AP reports that, according to The Su- perpower's War Secretary, 'Iranian weapons have be- gun flowing into Afghanistan...but he and [the puppet] Afghan President...agreed involvement by Tehran can- not yet be proved.'" ` That was the unlie. The Superpower is never satisfied with unlies and only uses them as preparation for out- and-out lying. So a little over a week later... ` Under the June 12th headline "U.S.: Iran Sending Wea- pons To Taliban," AP reports "A senior U.S. diplomat [speaking to reporters in Paris] accused Iran...of trans- ferring weapons to Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan ...." ` AP does happen to mention: "[The Islamic Republic of Iran] says it makes no sense that a Shiite-led govern- ment like itself would help the...Sunni movement of the Taliban." ` But once having stepped on the unlies path, the drive to lie becomes ungovernable, especially since The Su- perpower couldn't care less. ` Couldn't care less? ` Lurking in the background is a principal clause of The Superpower's Declaration of World $lavery: ` THERE SHALL BE NO KNOWLEDGE EVER AGAIN, ` ANYWHERE ! ` ` ` ` Part 1: ` Part1 ` AP: ` AP `
