THE SECOND "SMOKING GUN"
Bush wants another Gulf of Tonkin, Blair weakly follows.
This was a war of choice at the highest levels of power, and we're paying the price.

Subject: European Union Language
European Union Language
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English
will be the official language of the European Union rather than
German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-
year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will
make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag
is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th"
with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten
styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu
understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in
ze forst plas.

WHY THE PRESIDENT IS LYING
Jack Random
The Jazzman Chronicles
January 27, 2006
RANDOM JACK – DISSEMINATE FREELY
Here are seven reasons why every objective observer should conclude
beyond all reasonable doubt that the president is lying.
1. He lied about the war. For those who hold the reservation that the
president may not have been properly informed, that he was in fact duped
by bad intelligence or twisted advisors, let me take this rare
opportunity to defend the chief executive. He is not a dumb as you
think. He is not an observer on the periphery of Dick Cheney's power
circle. He is a fully informed, fully engaged member of Cheney's circle.
He knew about the canyon-sized gaps in intelligence and he conspired to
close them with a chain of deceptions. The president lied because he
wanted war. He lied because he was convinced that the little man from
Crawford, Texas, could only reach historical greatness as a war
president.
2. The president lied repeatedly on the very topic that should now
become the basis for impeachment proceedings but, instead, is becoming
the centerpiece of the Republican midterm election campaign. He told us
over and over, in every public setting he could find, that wiretapping
was never done without a court warrant. Just in case we did not fully
understand him, he spoke slowly and with absolute clarity: Wiretapping
on American citizens is never done without a court warrant.
3. If the president is telling the truth about the scope of the
eavesdropping – that it only involves Al Qaeda club members – there
should be only a handful of cases on file. According to published
reports, the NSA domestic spying case (by any other name) involves
thousands of Americans. How stupid do we think Al Qaeda is? Are we
seriously to believe that they are calling the USA on a regular basis?
Are they calling in complete confidence that our government will only
listen in if they have a court warrant? How stupid do they think we are?
4. If the president is telling the truth, that the scope of the program
is limited and that civil liberties are protected, then there is
absolutely no reason to circumvent the FISA law. There is a rubber stamp
at the FISA court for warrants on the communications of known Al Qaeda
members. In such cases, the process would take all of thirty seconds
beyond the mechanics of sending a fax. Furthermore, as any informed
citizen should know by now, the spy-now-get-approval-later provision of
the FISA law gives the Justice Department 72 hours to shuffle the paper
work. In other words, to the extent that the NSA domestic spying program
is legitimate, it is completely unnecessary. If that is the case, either
the Attorney General and his coterie of legal advisors are incompetent
to the point of absurdity, or the president is lying.
5. If the president were telling the truth, he would open the books on
all surveillance targets that are no longer current, with the targets
identified only by profession. We would stipulate that the Attorney
General and the head of the NSA should certify that the list is complete
and accurate on penalty of felonious perjury. Knowing generically who
has been spied on would offer no information of value to our terrorist
enemies – who already presume they are being monitored with or without
warrants. It would be of great value to the defenders of civil liberties
and would give us all assurance that our president has not simply taken
the law into his own hands. I guarantee you, even without the names, the
list would read like a Who's Who in dissident politics. It is the
political hit list of Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover, whose name
should be stricken from the FBI headquarters.
6. If former NSA insider Russell Tice, who has identified himself as a
whistle-blower, is never prosecuted or held to justice, then the
president was lying about conducting an investigation into a serious
breach of national security. If that is the case, we must conclude that
it was a deliberate leak. It bears all the markings of the twisted mind
of Karl Rove, plotting to replace Plame Gate, Iraq Gate, Katrina Gate
and Abramoff Gate with NSA Gate. They like the odds. They like how it
plays in Middle America. They would rather take their chances as the
tough guys who write their own laws in the fight against terrorism
against a party still trying to decide whose hand to hold while the
Republicans rip out their guts.
7. Just look at him. I mean, really look at him, leaning on the podium,
chumming it up with the press corps, acting as if an impeachable offense
was nothing more than a discussion of the Sammy Sosa trade back in the
day. He chuckles, hems and haws, mugs and guffaws. He has all the moves
of a real estate agent or a used car salesman. We should react just as
we would with any other salesperson. He is not on our side. Lying is
second nature to him.

\\\\\\\\\\\\Jazzman Chronicles - Jack Random - President George W. Bush went on the
offensive this week, defending his authorization of spying on American
citizens, within the boundaries of the nation, in direct contradiction
to the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978. The
president asserts that he is only spying on those in communication with
known Al Qaeda agents or their affiliates.

=================================================George Orwell's 1984
The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principles of
DOUBLETHINK, this aim is simultaneously recognized and not recognized by
the directing brains of the Inner Party) is to use up the products of
the machine without raising the general standard of living. Ever since
the end of the nineteenth century, the problem of what to do with the
surplus of consumption goods has been latent in industrial society. At
present, when few human beings even have enough to eat, this problem is
obviously not urgent, and it might not have become so, even if no
artificial processes of destruction had been at work. The world of today
is a bare, hungry, dilapidated place compared with the world that
existed before 1914, and still more so if compared with the imaginary
future to which the people of that period looked forward. In the early
twentieth century, the vision of a future society unbelievably rich,
leisured, orderly, and efficient—a glittering antiseptic world of
glass and steel and snow-white concrete—was part of the consciousness
of nearly every literate person. Science and technology were developing
at a prodigious speed, and it seemed natural to assume that they would
go on developing. This failed to happen, partly because of the
impoverishment caused by a long series of wars and revolutions, partly
because scientific and technical progress depended on the empirical
habit of thought, which could not survive in a strictly regimented
society. As a whole the world is more primitive today than it was fifty
years ago. Certain backward areas have advanced, and various devices,
always in some way connected with warfare and police espionage, have
been developed, but experiment and invention have largely stopped, and
the ravages of the atomic war of the nineteen-fifties have never been
fully repaired. Nevertheless the dangers inherent in the machine are
still there. From the moment when the machine first made its appearance
it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery,
and therefore to a great extent for human inequality, had disappeared.
If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger, overwork,
dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few
generations. And in fact, without being used for any such purpose, but
by a sort of automatic process—by producing wealth which it was
sometimes impossible not to distribute—the machine did raise the
living standards of the average human being very greatly over a period
of about fifty years at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of
the twentieth centuries.

Subject: Solzhenitsyn on resisting tyranny
Solzhenitsyn on resisting tyranny
It was Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian writer, who made the "gulag archipelago" part of our language.
American Gulag...
Coming Soon
[EXCERPT]
. . . What did Solzhenitsyn say about the gulag? "At what exact point, then, should one resist? When one's belt is taken away. When one is ordered to face into a corner? When one crosses the threshold of one's home? . . . ."
The same questions that are bothering you now.
Solzhenitsyn bitterly laments the Russian failure to resist: "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . ."
Apparently, they had no guns. Solzhenitsyn does not mention them. But he believes that axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else they had, could have done the job.
He continues: ". . . After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you,d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur"what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"
One is reminded of "Death Wish," starring the late Charles Bronson. The architect hero was not a terrorist, i.e., he did not kill indiscriminately. He did not kill the innocent. He was mild, even harmless, until the guilty attacked. Then, he brought out the hog leg and went to work. Whenever he did so, the theater audience cheered. Acting alone, he turned New York on its ear. Other inmates, inspired, began to do the same. Criminals were indignant. Didn't these New Yorkers know that packing heat was illegal? Crime fell. Imagine the effect of an epidemic of Bronsons.
That is what Russians should have done, says Solzhenitsyn.
Of course, they didn't do it. They "burned in the camps later" lamenting that fact: "If . . . if . . . We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation. . . . We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." They lost everything because they were too cowardly to act. . .

--------------------------------------------------
She was a nun that went to Guatemala to teach the
young children there. She was warned to leave, but
trusting herself to be an American, she stayed.
Subsequently she was arrested by the Security people
and tortured, including gang-raped. She spoke of her
experience, also of her feeling about the tortures in
Iraq/Afghanistan.
The video is 27 minutes long, very moving.
