Dear Vatican
Dear Vatican and the Nazi Pope,
What are you guys trying to hide from the Belgian raid on your child raping compound?
I read in "A Necessary Evil," that you (meaning the Vatican crime organization) have diplomatic immunity and have many child raping documents under your authority that cannot be subpoenaed because of that.
Why, Vatican Child Raping Organization, do you lie and cover up your continued crimes?
While you're at it, how about releasing some of those documents about the Jasenovac death camp in Croatia that you all had a direct hand in. And the Rat Line. And all your other crimes.

Custer
Yesterday was the 134 anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, also known as the Battle of the Greasy Grass. Custer had it coming, but the Indians still wound up losing the war, and we are all still struggling today.
I am listening to a book called "The Last Stand," about Custer, Sitting Bull, and the battle. What interested me most was a comment made about how the U.S. government was running out of money and needed an influx of cash. Thus, gold was "discovered" in the Black Hills, and so the Indians had to be wiped out (in one form or another) to get at it.
In a more modern context, the U.S. is deep in debt. Oil brings in lots of revenue. Kill Iraqis, Afghanis, Nigerians, Pakistanis, and attempt to kill Iranians soon (though Iran isn't as militarily weak as the U.S. likes to attack unarmed to weak nations because they are easier to kill). Kill the Indians for gold, Kill Middle Easterners and Africans for their oil.
More on this later.

Haven't been writing much...
...at least not on my blog.
I think I'm just kinda taking a rest from talking about all the horrible shit going on. However, many things have intrigued me, lately.
I have hardly heard a thing about the second flotilla in which the Israeli Attack Forces raided the Rachel Corrie and I believe another ship taking relief supplies to Gaza. I heard a bit of an interview with Dennis Halliday that people were attacked and brutalized on that flotilla with all of their video and other recording equipment stolen. Not as dramatic as the murders enacted by the Israeli Attack Forces. OK, I have to say it. I did read one alleged Peace a-holes blog posts about how basically that his idea of non-violence wasn't enforced on the first flotilla (although he was not a part of it in any way, shape, or form), and thus, basically, since he believed the Israeli's were attacked, they had the right to defend themselves, albeit their defense was extreme. It was the most disgusting piece of work I had read on the issue, especially coming from a Peace a-hole.
Massive oil leak in the Gulf...STILL HAPPENING! Jesus! Nothing I can do about it. Shusli and I have been discussing that this is not only an extinction level event, but a catastrophe that will be felt worldwide and possibly effect global weather patterns. We know animals are being slaughtered by the gazillions. Folk will be losing their livelihoods by the gazillions. There is speculation, unfounded in my opinion, that the gulf slaughter headed by BP's Tony Hayward with support from the Obomber administration, deliberately murdered those 11 folk on the rig and sank it and caused this disaster so that Obomber can impose a carbon tax or something like that. I'm not buying it.
The Obomber administration, along with Killary Clinton, are working diligently to get Iranian oil so oil companies and car companies can continue this unsustainable way of life for a few more decades, at least. So they have to sacrifice millions of Iranians with the help of their favorite genocidal ally, Israel. At least we'll be able to drive our cars for a few more decades...maybe. I kind of wonder if BP still has any influence in the region of Iran? If so, is their position weakened by BP's weakened state via the slaughter in the Gulf? Thus, in part (cause I know the U.S. has wanted to steal Iranian oil for decades, thus long prior to the Obomber and Bush II administrations), I wonder if the U.S. is taking advantage of BP's weakened position in the region in order to enact mass slaughter and environmental devastation in order to steal their oil?
Seems that the best way the Obomber administration can think of to deal with the leaks about the murderous escapades in the regions of Iraq and Afghanistan enacted by U.S. forces and their allies is to...GO AFTER THE LEAKERS! No, lets not deal with the actual murderous escapades. Murderous escapades are encouraged (unless enacted against Americans). And in dealing with uppity generals who do know how to keep their mouths shut, one must deal with keeping their mouths shut instead of dealing with the issues he is attempting to deal with which are simply made worse by the genocidal Obomber administration. Stop the leaks like they are stopping the leaks in the gulf, and everything will be OK. Everyone will throw flowers to the U.S. gods like the liberators they are.
Yeah, I'm still a bitter SOB, but I am also hopeful. Real hope, not Obomber hope. What gives me real hope is my wife. Someone who understands that there is a world we are going to have to survive in. Something that can be radically different in a short amount of time. If we survive it, we will be there to help as best we can.

Killer
I listened to a couple of murder mystery books on CD recently.
The first was "A Necessary Evil," by Alex Kava.
A bunch of pedophile Catholic priests were being murdered. The main detective, a woman FBI profiler, was very adept at catching people.
It was an excellent book. I LOVED THE ENDING! Although I'm not a great solver of puzzles, I did solve this one early in the book, and even so, it was still GREAT!
The other was Joanne Fluke's, "The Apple Turnover Murder."
This one took, I figured out early in the book. It was kind of frustrating as well since the murder did not occur until about half way through the book.
The main character, Hanna Swenson, was the owner of a cookie shop. It is a fun combination of book Genre's. It is a mystery with lots of recipes, like a cookbook; lots of sexual tension, like a romance novel; animal stories.
It didn't appeal to me all that much, as I like the mystery part in mystery novels. I like a lot of that, and a little of the other stuff. This book is a good balance of all that and I think many people would enjoy it alot for its fun combination. I'm a bit more straight forward than that, however.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I have listened to two books recently by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the famous 19th century Russian author.One book I listened to "Notes from Underground." My understanding is that this was the first book written by Dostoyevsky after he was released from prison. It is a rather dark tale of an introverted clerk in the government service talking about a 20 year or so section of his life. The way this fella looked at the world seemed self-deprecating as well as a seeming self-superiority. He felt superior to others, and yet hated himself. The range of dark emotions, thoughts, actions and inactions was rather amazing in this tale.
I also listened to an unabridged version of "Crime and Punishment." I know why this is a classic. I never read his work in school, and most remember the title from a Warner Brothers cartoon in which it was used as a prop in a story. The story is of a young man in Petersburg Russia is down on his luck and decides with illusions of grandeur to murder an old pawn broker woman and make wealth for himself. The idea was that he would start out his life with this grand escapade that no one would figure out he had committed. But when he shows up late for the crime and winds up murdering the woman's sister as well, things turn rather dark.The main character, Raskolnikov, is not only a horrible murderer, but also kind generous and compassionate. He is a fully rounded character, very complex and interesting. Intelligent and stupid. Arrogant and self-loathing. He believed this murder would help launch his stagnating life into something great, comparing how the mass murderer, Napoleon, was propelled to greatness on far worse crimes and committed far more crimes. I think of folk like George Bush, mass murderer, who seems to feel no remorse for the mass murders he committed as the stand in president who quite possibly never won an election. Come to think of it, I don't see remorse on Barack Obombers face, either. Nor Bill Clinton, nor Bush Sr., nor Reagan, nor Nixon, nor Kissinger, etc. But all these folk are held up for their greatness as well...excuse me...allegations of greatness. Rodyer Raskolnikov, however, is actually filled with remorse, or something like it. He has a conscience and is constantly torn as he wades through his self-damaged life throughout the book.
What I find quite enjoyable is the good look and good things that come his way and his families way after he commits the murder. If he had waited a week longer in his poverty, everything would have been fine. And the troubles, the metal troubles, that plague him. AMAZING!
Dostoyevsky has to be one of the best authors I have read (or in this case, listened to). I swear I could walk down the street and run into these characters he created, they seemed so real. Maybe I met Raskolnikov on the Burnside Bridge, saw him talking to his sister downtown, saw the clerks (now detectives) walking around the police station... It is an amazing book.
One thing that caught my eye was a bit of humor in the story. Dostoyevsky's work came out in serial form in periodicals. He was an author, and an extraordinary one at that. But he takes a little poke at authors early in the book as a clerk rants in the police station about them as a woman had been had by one:
"...So the literary gentleman, the writer fellow, took five roubles in the respectable house for a torn coat-tail, did he? Well, well! So that's the sort of fellows those writers are!...There was a similar incident in a pub the day before yesterday with one of those writer fellows: had his dinner but refused to pay his bill and threatened to write them up in his paper. And another author on a steamer last week used the filthiest language to the wife and daughter of a State Councillor. And another one was kicked out of a pastry-cook's the other day. That's the kind of fellows they are, these writers, authors, literary gentlemen, students - public oracles!!..."
This bit of self-deprecating humor in "Crime and Punishment" make me wonder what Fyodor Dostoyevsky was like. He had a good sense of people. He could see the dark side especially of folks, but could also describe their beauty. He could see the whole person. He could poke and prod and describe the most intimate details of a human being. He also had a sense of humor, which is obvious from the above.
So my list of favorite classics authors has expanded:
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Alexandre Dumas
Mark Twain
Dalton Trumbo
Herman Melville
(it's a small list, but it will get bigger)

The BP Solution
BP has found the perfect solution to the oil disaster that has murdered 11 people, made 71 ill, is making species of animal life extinct, is destroying the ways of life of millions, is committing genocide against the Atakapa-Ishak peoples, causing ecological damage that will last lifetimes if not longer, etc.
PUBLIC RELATIONS!
Yes, BP is trying to put a positive spin on the most horrific corporate caused disaster ever.
This is the face of the enemy. BP's head crime boss, Tony Hayward, CEO of BP.
Tony Hayward is quoted as saying he just wants his life back. Fuck the lives of the 11 he murdered. Fuck the lives of the 71 currently ill (more on the way). Fuck the lives of those involved in the fishing industry. Fuck the lives of the people of the Gulf Coast. Fuck the lives of the birds and fishes. Fuck the life of the ocean. Fuck the life of the world. Tony. poor multi-millionaire billionaire Tony Hayward. Will somebody think of Tony Hayward. Will somebody help protect the billions of dollars he makes every year. We must think of Tony, and fuck everybody and everything else.
Tony Hayward, ladies and gentlemen. One of the faces of the enemy.
You know the Obomber administration will let this mass murdering criminal go, of course, because the U.S. government is involved and is also a mass murdering criminal as well.

What Modern Genocide Looks Like
Again with Democracy Now stuff.
Amy Goodman recently visited the Grand Bayou, a village of the Atakapa-Ishak that is only accessible by boat. Here is the face of the enemy, BP CEO Tony Hayward.
This is an act of genocide. You may be saying that one has to prove intent when accusing such wealthy anus' of genocide. The intent is that alleged civilization is willing to sacrifice the indigenous and many others for the wealth of the few.
You now may be thinking "why don't you think of the millionaires and and billionaires? What about the maintenance of their lifestyles; the hundreds of dollars bottles of wine and cognac, etc.?
Many of you may be thinking, "what about me? I want to continue my lifestyle! I want to continue driving my car, eating cheap food, etc. I'm willing to sacrifice indigenous communities and whoever else gets in the way to continue MY lifestyle. Why don't you think of ME, Eugene?"
Why don't you think of somebody besides yourself? Why don't you think about stopping the destruction of the world? Why don't you think about the future of the earth?
Here is another example of modern day genocide, jellyfish babies.
These are caused by nuclear fallout and are prominent in the Atolls in the South Pacific.
You can read about some of the specifics in the book, "Body of Secrets," by James Bamford. One group of indigenous from the area have decided on their deliberate extinction because all of their children are being born like this because of the U.S. led nuclear testing in the area.
"Eugene! Will you think of me? What about my safety? I need those nuclear weapons to keep myself safe, and thus it is OK that whole indigenous nations are wiped from the face of the earth. Think about me for a change, Eugene! Think about me!"
I don't apologize for being a negative Nugie. These are just things you have to look at as part of the whole. These are the people being sacrificed for you. Human sacrifice has not ended, it just has a new face, such as the face of the baby to the left, here. What there is of it, anyway.

Killers at the Border
I love Democracy Now!
Just read an article from Today's show talking about how a U.S. border patrol agent shot and murdered a 15-year-old boy running from him while holding another fella at gunpoint.
This type of thing is more regular in Israel against the Palestinians in their horrific genocide against those people. But the U.S. I'm sure is gonna work on using the Israeli example and start having officials do a lot of killing instead of civilians, like those cracker vigilante border patrols who often murder those crossing the border as well as detain. All of this is illegal of course, BUT WHO CARES! Nation states can do whatever they want, and when it comes to white racism against those who are not.
Do you feel safer now, knowing that a 15-year-old Mexican was murdered to protect you? The border patrol agent states he was having rocks thrown at him by said child, and thus had to murder him. However, video evidence obtained by Univision shows the kid was running away.
DAMN! The Portland Police force ought to hire that border patrol agent, don't your think?

Israeli Attack Force Attacks Second Flotilla, Though Without Any Murders This Time
The Rachel Corrie was seized by the Israeli attack forces on Saturday. Denis Halliday, former U.S. Assistant Secretary General, was on board and talked about how the Israeli's beat the shit out of most of the passengers. Of course, none of the materials are gonna make it to Palestine is it will alleviate the collective punishment forced upon that nation by the genocidal Israeli government.
Here is a little excerpt from the Democracy Now headlines of Tuesday, June 8:
Israeli commandos have seized another humanitarian aid boat headed to Gaza in an effort to break the blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza. Early on Saturday, Israel’s navy forcibly boarded an Irish-owned ship named the Rachel Corrie and then sailed it to an Israeli port. The boat was carrying 1,000 tons of medical and construction supplies for Gaza. Passengers included Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire and former UN Assistant Secretary-General Denis Halliday.
Are we hearing much about this one? It doesn't seem to be receiving the coverage the murders enacted by the Israeli Attack Forces got on the first flotilla.
Some passengers on the original flotilla are claiming that the Israeli Attack Forces even had an assassination list. Here is an excerpt from the same headlines from Democracy Now:
Passengers who were aboard the Mavi Marmara continue to provide new accounts of the Israeli assault. Some are now claiming they discovered a list of people the Israeli military intended to assassinate during their raid on the ship. The Independent of London reports passengers seized a booklet during their altercations with the Israeli forces who rappelled aboard. The passengers claim the booklet contained names and pictures of passengers the Israeli military intended to shoot dead. The Israeli military has denied the existence of an assassination list, and the claims could not be independently corroborated. A Turkish autopsy report shows the nine slain victims were shot a total of thirty times, many at close range. The Guardian newspaper reports five of those killed were shot either in the back of the head or in the back.

You're Kidding
Saturday, Shusli and I decided to head to Vancouver about 5pm. We hit I-205 only to find it jammed packed because of construction.
I hopped on I-84 and headed West in slow traffic only to find I-5 Northbound jam packed as well. So we got off the freeway, had dinner, went home, and decided to try again later.
We headed out at 7pm. I-84 was fairly clear, but I-5 was still jam packed and moving slow. We decided to stay with it. I told Shusli that I thought it was weird that during the rush hours when one finally got across the Interstate Bridge traffic would race up to 55 to 60.
As we approached the bridge, we saw a sign on the side of the freeway duct taped to the concrete barrier. It was about three feet wide and two feet high and was fluorescent green with a single large wide lettered word done in black felt marker, "JAM."
"There's the problem," I joked with Shusli.
As we headed across the bridge, there were several more of the "JAM" signs.
When we got to the other side of the bridge, there was a fella maybe in his early 60's with white hair and a thick white mustache holding a fluorescent green sign that said, "Drive 55 now."
Traffic, like usual, bolted right up to 55+. It was a good laugh.

What Kind of LSD is Sarah Palin Smoking?
Sarah Palin is blaming the BP oil spill on, get this...ENVIRONMENTALISTS!
I think the worst part about that bullshit is that so many American Morons believe this stupid a-hole!
Read the article.
What kind of information, actual data, is she backing up her claims with? I believe it came from pulledoutofmyass.com.
You mean to tell me it wasn't BP paying lobbyists to pay politicians to look the other way when it came to safety regulations? She also wants to drill the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge claiming it will only leave an imprint the size of the LA airport. Where did she get her data again? pulledoutofmyass.com Check out the oil industry and the Niger Delta.
Yeah, I always see "extreme environmentalists" looking to kill the earth because they aren't allowing companies like BP and so many others to kill the planet first. Come to think of it, I rarely see environmentalists succeed over big business. However, Sarah Palin seems to think environmentalists have more power in Wasthington than big business. Yeah, I always see Barack Obomber courting their favor as powerful as the environmental lobby is...NOT!
Jesus! What screws with my head is that people actually believe this crap!

Do You Really Want Peace?
Greg Mortenson is head of the Central Asia Institute. It is an organization that builds schools, mostly for girls, in Pakistan and Afghanistan. You can read about it in "Three Cups of Tea," and "Stones Into Schools," both by Greg Mortenson. These are the people of peace folk should take into their hearts and souls as examples and inspiration. Against cultural odds in an area of the world known for alleged Islamic extremists, these folk build mostly girls schools and pay teachers to teach. Along with this crazy yet amazing idea of Greg Mortneson's, comes peace. Peace follows. People in war torn regions what this because it brings and inspires peace and achievement within these communities. These schools do not push western ideals. They are built with the community, for the community, with the community's permission, and the curriculum is controlled by the community.
Sarfraz Khan is one of the main leg work fellas involved with the Central Asia Institute. He does all the serious leg work. Did I mention the fact that he does the serious leg work for this organiztion. Amazing fella and personal hero of mine. Sarfraz Khan. Here is an interview with him from Youtube.

Here is a must see video from the Commond Dreams website of an interview with Huwaida Arraf and Norman Finkelstein by Grit TV. I believe Huwaida is a reporter for Grit TV and was with the flotilla. Please watch this video. It reminds you why the flotilla was doing what it was doing. That they were unarmed (contrary to the Israeli claim). That all media was taken from the passengers usually after a good beating where most did not resist.
If we don't need to be concerned about what is happening in Gaza, why doesn't Israel let the Gazan's tell their own story? Again, BAI's (belligerently anti-intellecuals), what are the Israeli's trying to hide? What is Israel trying to hide that is actually happening in Gaza and other Palestinian territories? Why doesn't the alleged mainstream media talk about the Palestinian side of the story? Shouldn't the media be telling the whole story? Wouldn't it be considered propaganda and not news if only part of the story is told? Why isn't the mainstream talking about the other side of the story about the flotilla? Could it be that the media is protecting our friends in Israel like President Johnson did when 34 U.S. naval personnel were murdered with a torpedo because they were spying on war crimes the Israeli's were committing during the Six Day War on board the U.S.S. Liberty? Johnson said he could have cared less if all the sailors on board the Liberty were killed as long as the Israeli nation state was protected from the crimes it was committing. Is the media protecting the friend of the U.S. government, Israel, from having to face justice for their crimes against humanity? Of course, the U.S. commits vast amounts of crimes against humanity and to look at one criminal may point folk to look at the others.
Let me point out again, there were no barrel flashes from rifle fire coming from the Israeli guns as they were being defended against by a few activists on that ship. This should tell you that the shots were not fired after being attacked by folk with rods. The Israeli government released and sanctioned videos the world is being supplied and has control of all the other video and recorded information. Could it be that the defenders were actually outraged at having seen their friends murdered, or family murdered, and were thus trying to protect others from being murdered? I'm just pointing out the obvious.

What it Looks Like to Me
What Israel did can be pieced together in this insinuation given the first hand accounts by some of the activists who were released.
Israel launched the attack firing before they boarded the ships in which some or most of the killing took place. The soldiers who landed where then defended against by some of the brave folk on board, which is where you see the alleged attacks on the Israeli Terrorist Forces with sticks. They were probably defending against any further murders on the part of the Israeli Terrorist Forces.
Israel has confiscated all cell phones, lap tops, and any other forms of communication so that they can control the story to make them look good (if one can look good in such a massacre). They released the video of their soldiers being beaten WITHOUT the time stamp, so it would look like these peace loving Israeli Terrorist Forces were attacked before opening fire. However, you don't see the fellas in uniform opening fire at all during this particular scene.
Knowing that a majority of folk will just play into Israeli hands, especially the U.S. public whom I allege most are "belligerently anti-intellectual," will eat it up with a spoon, in spite of the above acknowledged facts and allegations on my part. The facts are the Israeli's fired even before landing on the boat. My allegations are they let themselves be attacked by the braver folk so it could be used as propaganda later, which it has been. A fact noted is that the time stamp is not present on the videos.
One of the statements that belligerently anti-intellectual types like to throw around are, "if you have nothing to hide, why don't you just let the cops into your house?" If the BAI's are capable of using this logic in this situation, they should ask, "Why are the Israeli's so afraid of letting out any of the other sources of information such as the laptops, cell phones, etc.? What are they trying to hide? If they have nothing to hide and did exactly as they said, why aren't they letting others see these particular sources of information?" But then again, they aren't belligerently anti-intellectual for nothing. Such thought requires such headache inducing mental actions known as "critical thinking."

Bravely Defending...
I believe, if things follow their usual course, that the Israeli soldiers will be praised for their alleged self-defense tactic. Mind you, it is actually an act of state sanctioned terror that will be...WILL BE...supported by the Obomber administration as I've heard Israel described as the U.S. pitbull in the Middle East. They help keep the oil flowing to the proper "interests." What these murders and are for is to "terrorize" any folk looking to help the Palestinians who are heavily oppressed by the nation state of Israel, that you have the potential to be murdered by these murderers. We know the U.S. will support this action like they supported so many other murderous nation states in order to serve the self-interests of the wealthy. These types of things are not unusual for governments to do. This one was rather open and blatant. A hands in the cookie jar, if you will. A convoy of peaceful ships attacked by Israeli state sanctioned terrorists to strike terror into activists looking to ease the Israeli caused suffering of the Palestinian people (and so many others throughout the region). This will be called brave and defensive. Here is a bit of "Black and Tans" lyrics by the Wolftones. It is about the sell-outs who bravely killed with guns those with spears and bows and arrows. They won medals for this. Kind of like the British soldiers who won medals for killing unarmed Irish protesters on Bloody Sunday. Kind of like the 7th Cavalry who won 29 medals of honor for murdering some 500 unarmed Lakota. Here is part of the lyrics.
"Come tell us how you slew
Those old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely slew each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow."
Go here for the rest of the song lyrics.
Here, let me give you a spin on some other history to give you a sense of how these murders, this massacre, makes me feel.
Kip Kinkel was bravely defending himself when he killed in self-defense a few of his fellow classmates.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold bravely defended themselves from their high school comrades at Columbine High School. What brave young men they were.
Ted Bundy, a lover of women, bravely defended himself against them.
Now there is a different spin to the murderers mentioned above. It is not much different, really, than the spin being put on the murders of 19 folk on that unarmed flotilla (sticks and knives are not arms compared to guns with live ammunition). The Israeli military did not act bravely, nor was it in self-defense. The Israeli military murdered, massacred, and terrorized any thinking of helping the people they enjoy making suffer for being Palestinian.
So, if Israel was bravely defending itself against folk who didn't have weapons. Remember when Colin Powell was showing the photos of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq's possession? You remember, the vehicles that actually weren't weapons, but got the U.S. into a war that has slaugthered some one and a half million Iraqis. That is the proof of the weapons that Israel has. They ought to hire Colin Powell to give them some international legitimacy. Colin, BTW, helped in the cover up of the My Lai massacre, where brave U.S. soldiers defended themselves against unarmed Vietnamese, Lt. Cally starting out first by killing a young boy. Brave brave men.
Now imagine you are at a basketball game. When the whistle blows and the ball is thrown for the game to start, one team whips out automatic weapons and murders everyone on the other team. Did the team with the weapons win? I dare you to question that. Would you question the bravery and the sportsmanship of men who are heavily armed? Would you?
That is how Israel will be justified in these murders. This massacre. That is how these men murdering folk armed with sticks and knives will be praised. However, in obvious reality, they are cowards and murderers, like Kip Kinkel, Ted Bundy, Eric Harris, and Dylan Klebold. No one makes excuses for Kip, Ted, Eric and Dylan. They call them mass murderers.
"One law for the common man, another for the king."
We have to change everything folks.
