CHANGE

INTRODUCTION
We had an election in November, in which Barack Obama (BO) became our President Elect on the basis of a promise of HOPE and CHANGE. Being a shrewd politician, Mr. Obama never spelled out precisely what CHANGE under his administration will consist of. As a result, we are left to speculate regarding just what this CHANGE will be. What follows is several scenarios and forecasts of possibilities for various manifestations of CHANGE that may await us in 2009 and beyond.

EARLY CHANGE
As it turns out, 2009 will not be the first CHANGE that we will experience. In January of 2007 the new (CHANGED) Congress of Pelosi and Reid was sworn in. A previous post enumerates some benchmarks at that time.

There were also changes elsewhere such as the election of HAMAS in Gaza. Take a good look at the benchmarks of January 2007. It may well be a case of

This is as good as it gets!!!

It may be a point in time toward which we may look back with nostalgia in the future. There has indeed been CHANGE (DEMs in legislative power) since then.

How do you like it so far?

CHANGE in YOUR POCKET
Start with a dollar bill that you have earned. After TAXES at all levels, all you'll have left from the dollar is CHANGE. If somehow this pile of CHANGE were to become larger (i.e. you get to keep more of what you earn) then more CHANGE would be a good thing. BO has promised a Tax Cut for all but the 'Rich'. If that sounds familiar, recall that Klinton promised a 'Middle Class' Tax Cut before his first term. Recall also that what happened instead was a TAX INCREASE.

Keep in mind that something like HALF of the 'Rich' are DEMs, and have contributed mightily to the DEMs campaign coffers in hopes of becoming 'Quid Pro Quo' Corporate Welfare Queens in a BO administration. Would BO screw them with higher taxes? We doubt it.

Surely the 'Rich' DEMs and the rest of the 'Rich' will find ways to legally work around their tax liability. Remember that John and Teresa Kerry continue to pay a 13.5% tax rate, Buffet pays 25%, the Clintons pay 25% etc., and we don't even know what Soros and his ilk get away with. There will be no additional tax revenue from these people, even if 'Tax the Rich' policies are enacted by BO and the DEM Congress. It won't hit the DEM'Rich'. It will instead hit SMALL BUSINESS,the source of most NEW JOBS. Fewer NEW JOBS means less Tax Revenue.

Guess who will have to make up the difference in order to finance all the goodies BO has promised, or even to pay for Stimulus (a Stimulus program could not stimulate weeds to grow in a vacant lot, let alone the economy) and Bailout programs. That's right, it will be YOU. Redistribution is not about taking from the 'Rich' to help the Poor. It's about taking from the Middle Class and giving it to Special Interests, most of which are richer than the average Middle Class taxpayer.

Stimuli and Bailouts will also be laden with Pork and Earmarks. The ethical climate since Pelosi/Reid took over the legislature changed from a garden variety Culture of Corruption under the GOP, to a MEGA Culture of Corruption under the DEMs (Blagojevich, Jefferson, Rangel, Frank, Dodd etc. ad nauseam).

So if you're looking for more CHANGE in your pocket in the future, lots of luck.

STATES as PROTOTYPES
Another possible preview of what CHANGE might look like can be had by looking at States that have policies similar to what BO is promising us. Maybe under a BO administration the USA will look like Michigan, or maybe like New Jersey, or NY or California.

Look and be afraid.

CONCLUSION
So there you have it. Let's see how things CHANGE as time goes on. Make of it what you will. Who's responsible for what, will remain a bone of contention ('Success has many fathers. Failure is an orphan.').

Since we're basically Skeptics and Cynics, we have TWO responses to anything emanating from Congress or the MSM: "A ROOM FULL OF SPITOONS." and "A GRAND PIANO". This manifests itself as follows:

"Our respect for CONGRESS could not begin to fill a ROOM FULL OF SPITOONS!"

and

"We wouldn't trust the MSM as far as we could throw a GRAND PIANO!"

We just got online. Things are already CHANGING. Keep your eyes open.

So it goes.

INTRODUCTION
It's January 16, 2007, the morning after the MLK holiday. In our immediate locality, it's a beautiful morning. The sun is shining, the temperature is 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and there are about 5 inches of clean shimmering snow on the ground.

Since we're basically Skeptics and Cynics, we have TWO responses to anything emanating from Congress or the MSM: "A ROOM FULL OF SPITOONS." and "A GRAND PIANO". This manifests itself as follows:

"Our respect for CONGRESS could not begin to fill a ROOM FULL OF SPITOONS!"

HALLOWEEN WEIRDNESS REDUX

INTRODUCTION
It was three years ago when we first noted that Halloween was a good time to point out the Weirdness and Inconsistency and Hypocrisy of many MSM/DEM/PUNDIT PUKE postures and pronouncements.

* HALLOWEEN WEIRDNESS (11-01-03)
PART (1 of 1)

Sadly, much of what was noted back then, still continues today. Even more sadly, there is much to add in the same vein. What follows is by no means exhaustive but only indicative. We use roughly the same format as before to make our point.

NEW INSTANCES OF HALLOWEEN WEIRDNESS
Just when you thought the spookiness had subsided and it's 'All Over.', here are some more 'Freddy Krueger' like episodes to provide unease and trepidation:

o It's OK to think that now that Halloween is over, all the ghosts have gone back to their nether abodes. Wrong!!! They'll be coming out again to vote in the Nov. 7 elections. Amazingly, ghosts seem to have a habit of voting almost 100% for the DEMS (especially in places like Cook County IL; Milwaukee WI; St. Louis MO; and Washington State). If that's not enough, they'll also be joined by Convicted Felons, Illegal Aliens, and Fictional Absentee Ballot Voters also voting 100% for DEMS. Meanwhile our OVERSEAS ARMED FORCES and their votes will probably be contested by the DEMS. Just like in 2000, 2002, and 2004. LOL

o It's OK to check for people's photo ID's when they're buying cigarettes and/or liquor or renting a car. But when a photo ID is asked for when voting, then the Leather Winged Demons of the Liberals and/or DEMS and/or MSM and PUNDIT PUKES come swooping out of their perches and screech to the high heavens about denying people the right to vote. Never mind about the resulting VOTE FRAUD. LOL

o It's OK for the same people who own Citgo's 13,000 gas stations in the USA (i.e. Venezuela and Marxist Maggot Hugo Chavez) to also supply some precincts with the same computerized voting machines that resulted in FUBARing Venezuela's referendum a while ago. Jimmy Karter turned a blind eye, but it was still a fraud. Now these same machines will be used in the 06 Congressional Elections at some sites. LOL

o It's OK for self proclaimed gays like Rep. Gerry Studds (now deceased but previously elected to five consecutive terms... remember the old joke about keeping one's place in the Congressional Record by 'bending over the pages'.) and Rep. Barney Frank to openly conduct their habits and practices while being members of Congress (to call them on it would be 'homophobic'), but the MSM and PUNDIT PUKES were atwitter over mere 'suggestive' e-mails sent by Rep. Foley of Florida in response to a 'prank' provocation by a page. Foley has since resigned from Congress over this fracas. Klinton's ORAL OFFICE exploits which were not mere e-mails but 'physical and REAL', were also of course OK. To say otherwise regarding Studds or Frank or Klinton would be 'invading their privacy', to which the 'right people i.e. DEMS' have a 'Constitutional Right' even though 'privacy' is never mentioned in the Constitution. LOL

o It's OK for KERRY to speak what amounts to TREASON (just as he did after his 4 months in NAM) about our armed forces. He later claimed 'It was a joke'. His 'undertaker' demeanor wouldn't know what a joke is. He's so politically tone deaf that he even refused to apologize. He may yet end up doing so under 'adult supervision'.

His college grades and test results indicate that he's dumber than what the MSM and PUNDIT PUKES depict Bush to be. To hear his supporters say his running off at the mouth is 'TRUTH to POWER' is the real joke. Had he said something like this in the old USSR that he so much admired in the 70's, he would have immediately been shot. No insane asylums or Siberia. Some say this episode could only have been engineered by Carl Rove. LOL

o It's OK for the NYT to leak National Security Secrets in several important areas (our monitoring of Finances and Overseas Phone Calls to ISLAMIC TERRORISTS). Do such leaks have consequences? Is there any connection between the leaks and the dramatic increase in VIOLENCE and DEATH in IRAQ in October? Who knows. At the same time the NYT made a big deal out of the now discredited and defunct non-criminal 'leak' by Richard Armitage in connection with the PLAME GAME. LOL

o It's OK for the MSM and the PUNDIT PUKES and their Lapdog Polls to try to depress GOP voter turnout via their Mendacious and Self Contained (flatulating in an echo chamber?) prognostications regarding what they claim voters are going to do in the 06 elections. Never mind that their sampling and questioning techniques insure that they're not polling likely voters but rather 'preaching to the LEFTIST choir' and then publishing the resulting echoes. LOL

This is of course only a miniscule sampling of weirdness. Sadly, there's so much more. Find your own examples if you're so inclined. We're sure you can and will.

So it goes.

9/11 DENIAL

INTRODUCTION
We're probably all familiar with the concept of 'Holocaust Denial'. In spite of the overwhelming physical and photographic evidence as well as eyewitness accounts of survivors and their liberators, there are some fringe 'KOOKS' (some of whom are 'academicians') who insist that somehow the Holocaust is a fabrication. In response to such 'KOOKS', most of us tend to shake our heads sadly and write these people off as being only marginally in touch with reality.

Something similar seems to be happening with respect to 9/11. In spite of the fact that the fifth anniversary of 9/11 made this calamitous event 'front and center' in the Mendacious MSM for a few days, rest assured that a week or so later, these same manufacturers of DISINFORMATION will once again start acting like 9/11 never happened.

9/11 CONSPIRACY KOOKS
Robert Kennedy jr. seems to be a wide ranging conspiracy theory kook. In addition to claiming that the 2004 election was 'stolen', he also seems to have some affinity with the 'conspiracy theory' that '9/11 was somehow fabricated by the Bushies'.

* ROBERT KENNEDY JR. 9/11 DENIAL
PART (1 of 1)

Ditto for the publishing arm of the Presbyterian Church (Westminster John Knox Press a division of the Presbyterian Publishing Corp.) and its newly released book by David Griffin entitled "Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action" . It's a 'conspiracy theory' tirade, and essentially 'faith based and fact free'.

There is also the case of U of Wisconsin professor Barrett, who apparently teaches 'conspiracy theory' as part of his classes. UW officials refuse to reprimand him, let alone fire him.

* TEACHING 9/11 DENIAL AT THE UW-MADISON
PART (1 of 1)

Another example of the crippled logic of the LEFTISTS and MSM goes something like this:

'There have been no Terrorist attacks in the US for the five years since 9/11, therefore 9/11 and the WAR ON TERROR are not for real as far as America is concerned.'

These kinds of arguments and others like them have been roundly refuted in a fairly lengthy piece published in Popular Mechanics Magazine in 2005 and later released as a book entitled "9/11: Debunking The Myths". As sources go, Popular Mechanics seems hardly as politicized as some others weighing in on this subject.

* 9/11 DEBUNKING THE MYTHS
PART (1 of 1)



* CONSPIRACY NATION
PART (1 of 1)

Then there is Oliver Stone's 9/11 movie "World Trade Center". It is regarded by some as a good cinematic piece of work, with its focus on the tribulations of two firemen buried in the rubble, who were ultimately rescued and survived. There's no 'conspiracy' theme here, as in Stone's JFK Assassination film. However, in the whole movie there's practically no hint that this disaster was perpetrated by Islamic Radicals. It's almost as if the twin towers had been felled by bolts of lightning from the heavens... a 'natural' disaster as opposed to MASS MURDER at the hands of Islamic TERRORISTS.

This is yet another if more subtle variety of 9/11 denial.

In contrast to this, the earlier movie "United 93", and the ABC 6 hour series "The Path to 9/11", make no bones about who was responsible. No 9/11 denial here.

* CLINTON AND 9/11
PART (1 of 1)

If 9/11 could somehow be made to 'disappear' or made to take on the aura of a 'hoax', then this 'T-REX in the room' (i.e. would there have been war in Afghanistan or Iraq without 9/11) would also go away and the world would somehow return to what it was on 9/10. What's more, if 9/11 'didn't exist', then similar claims could be made regarding the WAR on TERROR, and eventually there would be nothing for EXTREME LEFTISTS and DEMS to be 'weak on'. That's why the EXTREME LEFTISTS (a sizeable proportion of the DEMS) and the MSM and Pundit Pukes are working 24/7 to promote 9/11 denial.

LET's PLAY WHAT IF
Suppose there actually had been no 9/11. Let's engage in a 'mental exercise'. What might the world be like if we had not been provoked into LIBERATING Afghanistan and Iraq?

o We would have WMD threats from North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Lybia.

o Afghanistan, Iraq, the Palestinians, and Lebanon would still not have even a 'first approximation' to Democracy. All four would continue to be safe havens for al Qaeda or other TERRORISTS.



o Some of these TERRORISTS would most assuredly have succeeded in striking the USA on a date other than 9/11 rather than being preoccupied with 'Driving the Americans out of Afghanistan or Iraq'.



Keep in mind that the original 9/11 plan was to do the deed on Klinton's watch, but the plan's ten different airplanes with ten different targets was regarded by Bin Laden as being 'too ambitious' and too 'prone to error' so the plot was delayed and the number of airplanes was scaled back to 4. The point here is that Bin Laden could not have cared less whether he attacked under a DEM or GOP presidency... after all, he'd already struck vis-a-vis Khobar Towers, East Africa, and the USS Cole, all under the Klintonistas, no matter how much they 'sucked up' to ISLAMIC TERRORISTS .



Also keep in mind that in addition to the DEM legacy of 'The State Department's and Madeline HALF-bright's foreign policy', there was also the legacy of legal impediments to information flow arising from 'treating TERRORISM as a CRIME', along with bad intelligence due to the evisceration of any 'on the ground INTEL' by the Church committee and other DEMS. All of this would have made us just as vulnerable on any subsequent or previous dates as we were on 9/11. Only the 3000 innocent civilian MURDERS of 9/11 could even begin to change this CULTURE of APPEASEMENT, LAX SECURITY and DENIAL.



o The Taliban would still be beheading or stoning people in soccer stadiums for failing to adhere to the letter of Sharia as interpreted by the Taliban's self-appointed keepers of the word of the Koran. Bad things would happen to women if they did not wear burkhas.



o Saddam would continue brutalizing and murdering his own citizens (including children).



o France, Russia, and the UN bureaucrats would still be getting rich via the 'Oil for Food SCAM' in collusion with Saddam and Iraq. Not only that, but this same corruption would most likely have led to the eventual lifting of sanctions on IRAQ and Saddam's
subsequent unmolested and unseen resumption of full scale WMD development.

Such development may have even been going on under 'so called' UN scrutiny. It's said that Russian Spetznaz cadres helped Saddam move his most 'visible' WMD evidence to Syria shortly before the LIBERATION of Iraq.

Other bits and pieces with WMD potential (especially the 'compact' chemical and biological ones such as Anthrax and Sarin) may still be in Iraq since massive lethal doses need be no larger than suitcase sized and thus easy to disperse and hide, especially since Iraq is about the same size as Texas and no more than a fraction of 1% of potential hiding places have even been searched.

BRITISH SKYJACK PLOT
A month or so ago, the Brits discovered and stopped a plot to hijack and destroy US bound airliners. This discovery came about because the Brits used surveillance and interrogation techniques that the DEMS and the MSM and Pundit Pukes in the US are trying mightily to outlaw and eliminate.

Had the plot originated in the US and the DEMS had succeeded in imposing on the rest of us, their current retrograde (to pre 9/11) penchant of treating TERRORISM as a 'criminal activity' and giving preference for 'privacy' over SECURITY, those ten airplanes may very well have been destroyed.

* BRITISH SKYJACK PLOT THWARTED
PART (1 of 1)

Prior to this, a TERRORIST plot was nipped in the bud in Canada.

* CANADIAN TERRORIST PLOT
PART (1 of 1)

TERRORISM today is a 'clear and present danger' internationally as well as in the US. 9/11 denial won't make this grisly fact go away.

TERRORISM AS A CRIME
Just when it seemed that the 'British Plot' conclusively demonstrated that preventing TERRORISM was not the same thing as waiting for it to happen and then prosecuting it as a normal crime, we seem to have a case of Congress pretending neither this nor 9/11 happened, and wanting to go back to 9/10.

* CIVIL LIBERTIES vs. NATIONAL SECURITY
PART (1 of 1)

END OF THE PLAME GAME
After Armitage's belated (after several years) 'confession' of being 'the leaker', one would think that this farce would finally be over. Apparently it is except for Libby who's still under a cloud for apparently having a faulty memory regarding a 'non-crime'.

* THE LAST WORD ON THE PLAME GAME
PART (1 of 1)

* ARMITAGE LIED
PART (1 of 1)

At the end of the day, it would seem that the real LIARS were not the Bushies, but Wilson, Plame (aka Mrs. Wilson), Armitage, Fitzgerald, the DEMS, and the MSM and Pundit Pukes. This is not exactly an isolated incident. There have been countless other cases involving the DEMS and their MSM lapdogs, ranging from the recent 'Fauxtography' incident in Lebanon to the Isikoff fabrication involving 'the flushed Koran' to the CBS 60 Minutes and/or Dan Rather 'forged air national guard documents'. All these cases and others were not just instances of slanted reporting but rather, the manufacturing of DISINFORMATION.

* DEMS LIED NOT BUSH
PART (1 of 1)



* NYT LIES AGAIN
PART (1 of 1)



* THE MEDIA
PART (1 of 1)

There is a legal conundrum in Latin which goes something like this (I'm paraphrasing):

'Falsis in unum, falsis in omnibus.'

It means roughly that if you lie about one thing then you'll probably lie about everything. The DEMS and MSM and Pundit Pukes have LIED about more than just one thing. As a result, unless you're one of them and are living in a 'faith based and fact free bubble' regarding their DOGMA, you'd be well advised to get a second and third opinion on each and every one of their pronouncements.

Such advice would be especially applicable in the case of 9/11 DENIAL.

LEFTIST ANTI-SEMITISM and BIGOTRY
If Holocaust deniers are basically bigots and anti-semites, does something similar apply to 9/11 deniers? Could be. If you're one of today's new breed of LEFTISTS (and many DEMS are) then it's apparently not only OK to deny 9/11 but it's also OK to hate JEWS if they're Neocons and to hate BLACKS if they're Conservatives or Republicans. Don't believe it? What about DEMS like Boxer trashing people like Condi Rice and Justice Clarence Thomas? What about 'Red' Ned Lamont and his out of state zealots from Moveon.org trashing Sen. Lieberman?

* A COMMON THREAD IN SEVERAL RECENT EVENTS
PART (1 of 1)

Apparently academicians are also allowed to do this.

* BLAME THE ISRAEL LOBBY
PART (1 of 1)

But if this is OK, then where does it stop? The 'Socialist Workers Party' is currently a moniker and front for Trotskyites in the US. Add the word National to this moniker (as in the National Socialist Workers Party) and you get NAZI (Nazional Zocilaistische Arbeits Partei). Plop that little swastika in a white circle doohicky in the middle of the ever popular RED banner of FAR LEFTISTS, and again you get NAZI. NAZIS were and are just another variety of RADICAL LEFTISTS. In the 1920's and 30's many NAZIS started life as Communists or FAR LEFT Socialists and trade unionists. Ditto for Mussolini and Italy's Fascists.

Then there are also the seeming disconnects and paradoxes. Pat Robertson currently seems to be a bigger supporter of ISRAEL than Russ Feingold. Vladimir Illyich Ulianov once identified a fairly large group of people whom he labeled 'useful idiots'. Not being Lenin, we find nothing particularly useful about them.

In a similar vein, Lenin also said that the capitalists in their rush to make a profit, would sell the rope that would ultimately be used to hang them.

People like Feingold and Boxer and Schumer etc. in an effort to 'stick it to' the Bushies, may well be doing something similar with their apparent support of anti-semites from the FAR LEFT or from the more obvious quarters of IslamoFascism such as Iran and 'Adolf' Ahmedinejad .

So it goes.

THE PEOPLE SHALL JUDGE

SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND

INTRODUCTION
Sometimes we can't find something even if we diligently look for it. At other times we can't find something because somehow we don't want to, and therefore come up with the logically flawed conclusion that therefore it does not exist. What follow are various examples of 'Hide and Go Seek' and how they relate to 'what we really DO or DON'T know for sure'.

HEZBALLAH KATYUSHAS
As the war rages in Lebanon, the Israelis seem to face a fairly formidable challenge with respect to finding and destroying over 12,000 Katyushas and other missiles, that HezbAllah is launching into Israel. There is no question these missiles (potential facilitating mechanisms for WMD ... any one of these missiles could theoretically be tipped with Chemical or Biological payloads) exist. They make their existence evident by being launched and then exploding among all kinds of people and buildings in northern Israel.

In spite of the fact that these rockets and/or missiles as well as HezbAllah are clearly entrenched in southern Lebanon, the Israelis still can't seem to find all of them or to destroy them. Part of the problem is that HezbAllah and their rockets hide behind innocent and semi-innocent civilians (men, women, children, Mosques, UN observers, etc.).

SADDAM'S WMD
If you follow the 'JUNK LOGIC' used by DEMS and their lapdogs the Mendacious Main Stream Media and Pundit Pukes (MMSM and PP) regarding the existence of MSM in Iraq, then the fact that all the rockets and/or missiles haven't been found in Lebanon by the Israelis, somehow means that they DON'T EXIST.
Duuuh??

* PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO PROVE A NEGATIVE
PART (1 of 1)

* JUNK LOGIC
PART (1 of 1)

While the Israelis are doing their utmost to seek out these weapons in Lebanon (their self-interest in doing this is more than obvious), the same cannot be said for those who allegedly looked for evidence of WMD in Iraq. At best they examined one fourth of one percent of all the places where evidence of WMD might be found in Iraq. Not being able to find anything there, they declared that 'WMD don't exist in Iraq' with what seems to be reported by the MMSM and PPs with an implicit air of 'Metaphysical Certitude'.

If the Israelis who are doing their damndest to find missiles in Lebanon, are having a hard time finding all of them, what does this say about WMD in Iraq, given that the 'lookers' barely made the effort.

THE PLAME GAME
A similar attempt to 'PROVE A NEGATIVE' is evident in the lies perpetrated by Joe Wilson, to the effect that Iraq DID NOT attempt to try to get 'yellowcake uranium' from Nigeria.

* THE LAST WORD ON THE PLAME GAME
PART (1 of 1)

This in turn led to the whole 'Plame Game', which resulted in a Special Prosecutor trying to prosecute a non-existent crime. It's not over yet.

Try as we might it would seem that NONE of the allegations perpetrated by Joe Wilson or Valerie Plame have any substance. If we emulate the 'JUNK LOGIC' used by DEMS and their lapdogs the Mendacious Main Stream Media and Pundit Pukes (MMSM and PP) regarding the existence of MSM in Iraq, since we can't seem to find them, THEY DON'T EXIST!!

BIN LADEN
Employing the 'JUNK LOGIC' used by DEMS and their lapdogs the Mendacious Main Stream Media and Pundit Pukes (MMSM and PP) regarding the existence of MSM in Iraq, how do we know bin Laden still exists? We can't seem to find him (same as the 'seekers of WMD), therefore 'Bin Laden Does NOT EXIST???'.

HONESTY AND FAIRNESS AMONG THE NYT AND MSM
Try as we might, we have not been able to find any evidence of 'Fairness and Balanced Reporting' in the effluvia spouted by the NYT or the MMSM and PP. Employing the
'JUNK LOGIC' used by DEMS and their lapdogs the Mendacious Main Stream Media and Pundit Pukes (MMSM and PP) regarding the existence of MSM in Iraq, since we can't seem to find it, IT DOESN'T EXIST!!

Perhaps this onslaught of effluvia is to divert attention from the fact that CBS (A BIG part of the Mendacious MSM and PP) is preparing to launch 'perky' LEFTIST MOUTHPIECE Katyusha Couric on unsuspecting viewers in the fall (boy is THAT a change from Dan Rather). Let's see if she draws more viewers than 'dull old' Scheiffer.

So it goes.

THE PEOPLE SHALL JUDGE

WE ARE ATHEISTS

INTRODUCTION

What does the term 'ATHEISTS' in the title mean? Nothing new, really. We REFUSE TO BELIEVE in the major 'articles of faith' (more on what they are later) perpetrated by the DEMS and their Main Stream Media and PUNDIT PUKE lapdogs (hereafter referred to as the Mendacious MSM and PP). That's because their LYING ways continue unabated.

BUBBYE DUBAI

We do however take note that something NEW has happened. While we have maintained in previous posts that the DEMS and/or the Mendacious MSM and PP have had a huge advantage in Share Of Voice (SOV), we've also maintained that this has had relatively little impact on their share of the American Public's Perceptions (SOP).

* EQUATIONS PARADOXES and OXYMORONS

PART (1 of 1)

This no longer seems to be the case. The 'Bubbye Dubai' incident is a prime example. Here we have a case of the Mendacious MSM and PP transmitting up-front DISINFORMATION, and then BOGUS POLL RESULTS based on poll respondents having been fed this DISINFORMATION, before anyone really knew what this was all about. As a result, Congressional GOPs looking toward the 2006 Congressional Elections, stampeded without taking a second look.

This happened primarily because this time around, the DEMS and their Mendacious MSM and PP avoided fondling one or more of its OWN or the DEM BOLSHEVIK WING's 'erotic zones', and stroked a CONSERVATIVE 'zone' instead, i.e. NATIONAL SECURITY. Not that this was anything 'for REAL' or other than a 'non sequitur'.

It wasn't really about NATIONAL SECURITY, but rather about POLITICS and PROTECTIONISM and other BIG LABOR (Longshoremen??) and thus DEM and LEFTIST issues.

Keep in mind that PROTECTIONISM, NATIVISM, JINGOISM, and ISOLATIONISM are issues that also seem to thrive among some of those who are occasionally under the GOP umbrella. Such people seem to be the core of Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot supporters. Never mind that Pat Buchanan's most recent running mate Falana, is a RADICAL MARXIST. Never mind that BOTH Buchanan and Perot in previous elections vampired votes from the GOP, and thus helped to elect the KLINTONISTAS.

Given that that's the case, this occasional wing of the GOP constituency bit on the NATIONAL SECURITY bait. After all, NATIONAL SECURITY (and its potentially attendant license for PROTECTIONISM, NATIVISM, and JINGOISM) was one of THEIR 'erotic zones', and the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP fondled it.

Never mind that similar alleged 'threats to NATIONAL SECURITY' (RED CHINA's ownership of some Panama canal and LA port facilities, RED CHINA being designated as the checkers of cargo bound for the US in the Bahamas, UAE/Dubai already owning a Miami port facility, Hugo Chavez front PDVSA-Venezuela owning 13,500 US gas stations [CITGO], etc.) already existed, and if anything UAE/Dubai was actually an ally of the US in our war against TERRORISM compared to these other 'friends of the US'.

Hell, if we really feel that ALL ARABS are TAINTED, we should stop buying oil from them. Boy would THAT show them. HEH. Especially since we still seem to be reluctant to drill in ANWAR. The ENVIROPUKES obstructing ANWAR and other drilling on US territory, are probably bigger threats to NATIONAL SECURITY than UAE/Dubai.

Of course, there seems to be no sense of DISCONNECT or DOUBLE STANDARDS or HYPOCRISY on part of the DEMS, and the Mendacious MSM and PP. It's OK to suppress showing the public the 'Danish Mohammed Cartoons' (what ever happened to the 'Public's right to know'?) in deference to the 'sensitivities' of MUSLIMS (P.S. UAE/DUBAI ARABS are also MUSLIMS), but at the same time it's also OK to tar DUBAI with the 'ALL ARABS ARE POTENTIAL TERRORISTS' brush. Don't even mention passing 'middle eastern types' in airports for fear of 'racial profiling'. Boy is that principled and consistent. This kind of HYPOCRISY stinks to the high heavens.

There are some who say that if the likes of Kerry, Kennedy, Biden, Feingold, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha... etc. came into power, they'd most likely sell out the ENTIRE USA rather than just a few port facilities. They'd probably make Cindy Sheehan Secretary of Defense or Head of Homeland Security. Unfortunately, that's not all that IMPLAUSIBLE.

The SCARY thing here is that this attempt to 'push the GOP's buttons' SUCCEEDED (though this was probably more by accident more than by planning and intent), and therefore in this particular instance, validated the DEM's contention that their opposition the GOP, is abysmally STUPID. The UAE/DUBAI ports deal was essentially squashed as a result, and so was our image with one of the few ARAB STATES that support us. We guess the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP must be yukking it up (sort of like Harry Reid doing a 'jig of joy' when passage of the PATRIOT ACT was temporarily stalled).

They succeeded in hurting the US. The Congressional GOP deserves some of the credit as well.

Prior to this, the DEMS were even more abysmally STUPID. They kept on fondling their OWN 'erotic zones' (ISSUES??) using their Mendacious MSM and PP's bandwidth advantage. Surely they did not expect the GOP core to respond favorably to this??

The DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP clearly did not recognize the 'Bubbye Dubai' thing as a stroke of dumb luck (i.e. 'Even a blind pig picks up the occasional acorn.'). They chose to believe their 'alien ideology' had scored some points with the US electorate, and continued to perpetuate the folly of fondling their OWN 'erotic zones' via their bandwidth.

Maybe the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP will inadvertently stumble onto another GOP 'erotic zone', in this case ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, but somehow we tend to doubt it ('once is LUCK, twice is SKILL').

FEINGOLD'S FOLLY

An example of this was Russ Feingold (Democratic Senator,WI) calling for censure of Bush because after 9/11, Bush via the NSA chose to push the limits of Presidential Prerogatives (although testing the borders of these limits was no different from what was done by his Presidential Predecessors, and never exceeded what's called for in the Constitution) to protect US citizens from further harm. This is a classic case of flatulating in an echo chamber (i.e. the BOLSHEVIK WING of the DEM party's 'bubble') despite the resulting stench, on the part of Feingold.

Rove should send some money to Feingold (pretty much as some suggest he did with Michael Moore for 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and its contribution to BUSH's victory in 2004) as a reward for single handedly negating whatever damage may have emanated from the 'Bubbye Dubai' incident. This man (Feingold) has presidential ambitions? HEH.

SHARE OF VOICE IS STILL IMPORTANT

Nevertheless, all of this, plus the 24/7 (amounting to $150MM/year) anti-BUSH spiking and spinning and hissing and writhing of the Mendacious MSM and PP, ultimately resulted in driving BUSH's approval numbers taken by equally Mendacious POLLS into the 37% ballpark. We've heard it over and over that if you repeat LIES long enough, they begin to sound plausible.

Recognizing the 'Share Of Voice' principle, KLINTON and the KLINTONISTAS never stopped campaigning, and made MAXIMAL use of the 'bully pulpit'. Maybe there's a lesson there for the BUSHIES.

Bush finally roused himself and hit the road to make several speeches supporting the LIBERATION of IRAQ. This rather modest counteroffensive resulted in his 'approval' numbers bouncing back to the 40% ballpark (RCP average).

The fact that Bush still seems reluctant to speak on his own behalf or on behalf of his ideas, shows that he and his advisors still underestimate the power of 'Share Of Voice' to influence 'Share Of Perceptions' and ultimately 'Share Of Vote', and the fact that the 'bully pulpit' is the BUSHIE's only defense against the broadband transmission of LIES perpetrated by the DEMS and the Mendacious MSM and PP.

As things turned out, Bush's speeches barely made it onto the 'radar' of the Mendacious MSM and PP (after spiking and spinning on their part), but apparently, enough people heard about them anyway.

Essentially, this is a replay of what happened late in 2005.

* THE SMELL OF WEAKNESS

PART (1 of 1)

Then as now, even if we use highly BIASED Presidential Job Approval Surveys as a 'benchmark' and 'dependent variable', it's clear that judicious employment of the 'bully pulpit' to 'counter punch' has salutary effects.

This is something that Congressional GOP's should keep in mind. We all know what happened when Bush 'the elder' ROLLED OVER on 'Read my lips, no more new TAXES'. The result was 8 YEARS of KLINTONISTAS. Better to stick to one's stated principles and to use whatever means are available to keep these principles fresh in the awareness of the electorate.

ATHEISM

All the preceding leads up to the point referenced in the title of this post, i.e. that the incessant broadband pounding of the Mendacious MSM and PP has begun to have an effect on the perceptions of the electorate.

The two major LEFTIST ARTICLES of FAITH (i.e. DOGMA disseminated by the DEM's POLITBURO) regarding the IRAQ LIBERATION are as follows:

1) There were no WMD in IRAQ in 2003. Bush knew this, and LIED to the US in order to justify an 'invasion' of IRAQ in order to:






a) Avenge an IRAQI attempt on his father's life.

b) For the OIL and Halliburton.






2) There was NO connection between Saddam and Bin Laden and/or al Qaeda or any other TERRORISTS. Therefore, the LIBERATION of IRAQ actually distracts us from the main task of fighting TERRORISM.

A few years ago, most respondents contacted by people conducting surveys, indicated that they believed the OPPOSITE of these LEFTIST ARTICLES of FAITH (i.e. about 60% believed Saddam had MSM, and Saddam was connected to 9/11 and/or al Qaeda and bin Laden and other TERRORISTS).

Nothing much changed since then in terms of HARD INFORMATION (the seekers for WMD did not exactly do a thorough sweep of a land area about the size of Texas... yet they declared that 'NO WMD's exist in IRAQ!').

* PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO PROVE A NEGATIVE

PART (1 of 1)

Nevertheless, the DEMs and the Mendacious MSM and PP continued pounding on these points incessantly with little dissent or counter argument from other quarters. As a result, the public's willingness to believe this DISINFORMATION slowly increased to the point where now about 60% claim to think these two points are true.

Both of these are DEM and/or Mendacious MSM and PP 'articles of faith' regarding which we are absolutely ATHEISTIC. Besides problems with definitions of what constitute WMD (do we need multiple silos of ICBM's with MIRV nuclear warheads in place to qualify as WMD, or will things like ANTHRAX and RICIN and small 'DIRTY' NUCLEAR DEVICES carried in suitcases do? What about hijacked 'kamikaze' driven airplanes?) and TERRORISM (are the roadside bombers in IRAQ 'insurgents' or TERRORISTS?) as well as the LOGICAL impossibility of 'proving a negative', we also base our 'lack of faith' in this DEM DOGMA on the recent appearance of the SADDAM TAPES.

Almost from the beginning (in 2003 after the fall of Baghdad) documents and tapes made by Saddam and his henchmen became available to the intelligence community. The CIA and others sat on these tapes until early this year (2006) they were compelled by Congress to release them (although WHO KNOWS how much of this stuff was redacted).

Why, one wonders? At least preliminary data from these tapes and documents could have been released much earlier. Did the State Department and the CIA have something to hide or had different agendas than the Administration? Did these tapes cast doubts on some of their 'revealed wisdom' regarding Saddam's WMD and connections to al Qaeda?? We touch on this possibility of a 'backdoor play' in our previous post.

* BACKDOOR PLAYS

PART (1 of 1)

Since these tapes and documents have now been released, we may soon find out. The Mendacious MSM and PP are already spiking and spinning and hissing and writhing to either suppress or try to discredit what may be found there. Perhaps Saddam is a 'less reliable' source on these matters than the NYT and the rest of the Mendacious MSM and PP. HEH.

Here's an interesting take on these events by someone to whom unfortunately we can't provide the credit and/or attribution because we can't trace the source:

"It's been reported that since the beginning of the LIBERATION of IRAQ, about 80 Journalists have died there. If one is to believe the Journalists' opinions of themselves, then this is 'too valuable a resource to waste'. We should therefore declare IRAQ a 'Journalistic FAILURE' and pull all of the remaining journalists out of IRAQ".

We've also heard that there are bumper stickers out there that read as follows:

'RPG the MSM'



and



'IED's for the NYT'

We can hardly imagine what could possibly make some people this mad.

A NATION OF DOBERMAN PINSCHERS

There have been entirely too many instances of DEMOCRACY in AMERICA being undermined by various POWERFUL MINORITY INTERESTS. There is only ONE thing worse than the TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY... it's the TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY.

Such interests are mostly UNACCOUNTABLE to the ELECTORATE and include but are not limited to:

THE MEDIA; THE EDUCATION ESTABLISHMENT (K-12 all the way through the UNIVERSITIES); BIG LABOR (THE UNIONS); CORPORATE WELFARE QUEENS; THE LEFTIST COURTS and LEGALISTAS; THE ACLU; THE ENVIROPUKES; POPULAR AND LESS THAN POPULAR CULTURE (TV, MOVIES, BROADWAY; LIBRARIES; HOLLYWOOD; BOOK PUBLISHING etc.); UNACCOUNTABLE BUREAUCRATS AND THEIR AGENCIES; IDENTITY GROUP MAGGOTS AND EXPLOITERS (SOCIOECONOMIC CLASS, RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION; ETHNICITY; ALLEGED RELIGIONS [like RADICAL ISLAM] etc.)

ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

In effect, these are ALL TAILS TRYING TO WAG THE DOG! In doing so, they UNDERMINE THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY on which our nation was founded!

Perhaps we should contemplate Doberman Pinschers. Most, though not all of them have their tails WHACKED OFF at an early point in their lives. Perhaps these tailless Dobermans could represent some kind of IDEAL for the US.
Consider that 'If you don't have a tail, then you can't WAG THE DOG'. Given that that's the case, perhaps we should become:

A NATION OF DOBERMANS!!

What we're really saying here is that we should give more emphasis to FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY, and less to LEVERAGED and INFLUENTIAL ELITES and SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS in the GOVERNANCE OF OUR NATION.

If you don't think it's a problem then consider what's happening elsewhere.

RIOTS IN FRANCE

It's not particularly surprising that in a PATERNALISTIC (i.e. 'SUGAR DADDY SOCILAISTIC WELFARE STATE') SOCIETY there will be plenty of SPOILED BRATS. These are UNIVERSITY STUDENTS egged on by UNIONS protesting the modest change in the status quo of how things are being done in France. This modest change in the laws would in effect, allow employers to (gasp!!) FIRE entry level workers under age 25 if they don't work out in the first two years after being hired. After that, for all intents and purposes, YOU CAN'T FIRE ANYONE IN FRANCE.

These SPOILED BRATS and their UNION agents provocateurs are in effect saying that once HIRED, NO ONE CAN BE FIRED no matter how unproductive or lazy they are. This is why France has double digit UNEMPLOYMENT. This UNEMPLOYMENT is closer to 25% in the banlieues occupied mainly by immigrant MUSLIMS (remember, these people rioted in late 2005 in part for lack of EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES).

Perhaps the SPOILED BRATS, who seem to be in favor of keeping HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, should DUKE IT OUT IN THE STREETS with the IMMIGRANT MUSLIMS who are looking for more EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

If the IMMIGRANT MUSLIMS win, there will be a FRENCH ISLAMIC REPUBLIC along the lines of IRAN.

If the SPOILED BRATS win, then France may eventually DEVOLVE into something like today's BEYLORUSSIA.

In either case, LEVERAGED and INFLENTIAL ELITES and SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS will WAG THE DOG, and effectively usurp THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Perhaps in the light of this, 'A NATION OF DOBERMANS', is not such a bad idea.

SAME TRENDS HERE

If you don't think it can happen here, consider what's going on at GM and UNITED AIRLINES. A MINORITY entity (UNIONS) that represent less than 7% of the legitimate (i.e. NOT THE PUBLIC SECTOR) US WORKFORCE is pushing the same idea as the FRENCH SPOILED BRATS and UNIONS, i.e. that NOBODY CAN BE FIRED AFTER THEY'RE HIRED even if they get paid for sitting around with their thumbs up their A$$ (i.e. the UAW mandated GM 'Jobs Bank'). Never mind what effect this has on the US ECONOMY.

So it goes.

THE PEOPLE SHALL JUDGE

BACKDOOR PLAYS

INTRODUCTION
First of all, because we've done it this way before, we'll link to our most recent post:

* EQUATIONS PARADOXES and OXYMORONS
PART (1 of 1)

The title of the current post refers to a common strategy in BASKETBALL, where the DEFENSE is drawn away from the baseline by skillful passing and cutting maneuvers by the peripheral players, and eventually some big guy is left unguarded in the vicinity of the basket for an easy score.

SOME POTENTIAL BACKDOORS
This time we're talking about a subject that has not been addressed before in these posts. While all our (i.e. that of U.S. Foreign Policy) attention seems to be on the MIDDLE EAST, there have been things going on (BACKDOOR PLAYS??) in LATIN AMERICA and the CARRIBEAN that seem to have been neglected. Here's a partial list:

• HAITI

The election in Haiti of radical LEFTIST Preval, an Aristide surrogate. Aristide is already threatening to return to Haiti from exile in South Africa.






Aristide/Lavalas supporting THUGS insured that there would be no runoff election between Preval and whoever came in second. The wimpy OAS (in spite of Jimmy KARTER not being part of the group this time) acceded to FUBARING vote counts (originally, Preval had less than 50% of the vote, and a runoff election would have been in order) but when the THUGS threatened trouble, some ballots were allowed to be created 'ex nihilo' to allow Preval to get over 50% and thus win outright and avoid a runoff.



Meanwhile Haiti continues to be a miserably impoverished and corrupt THUGOCRACY.





• BOLIVIA

The election in Bolivia, of LEFTIST Evo Morales, a patron of cocaine farmers and a USA hater.





• ARGENTINA CHILE BRAZIL

The dominance of US hating LEFTISTS in Argentina, Chile and Brazil.





• VENEZUELA

The dominance of CASTROITE TOTALITARIAN OIL BARON and USA hater Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.






Incidentally, CITGO [formerly Cities Service] with 13,500 US retail service stations is owned by PDVSA-Venezuela, controlled by Hugo Chavez.









* HUGO CHAVEZ and CITGO
PART (1 of 1)






That's something to keep in mind the next time you fill up at CITGO.



Apparently, Chavez owning CITGO is OK. Apparently it's also OK that after Jimmy KARTER sold out the Panama Canal, both ends of it are now being run by RED CHINESE. The RED CHINESE also own some Los Angeles port facilities.



What's more, it's also apparently OK that Lady Bird Johnson holds a bigger and more imortant financial interest in Halliburton than Dick Cheney currently does.



At the same time DEMS and some GOPS engage in 'racial profiling' and JINGOISM at the corporate level vis-a-vis the UAE/Dubai buying some US port facilities from Great Britain (but it's OK to rely for a STRATEGIC COMMODITY... OIL on the likes of SAUDI ARABIA... more on them later).



As in other US port facilities, the ownership is NON-US, but Americans still run the operation. Some say this is a case of NATIONAL SECURITY being used as a 'backdoor play' to promote PROTECTIONISM and other BIG LABOR agendas.



Of course, blue haired old ladies continue to be strip searched by airport security, while 'middle eastern' looking types are given a pass or else it would be 'racial profiling'.





• MEXICO

The possibility of a future FAR LEFTIST regime (if the mayor of Mexico City wins) in neighboring Mexico.






We already have close to half a million illegals per year crossing into the USA now. With this guy in power, illegal infiltration into the US may well become Mexican National Policy (remember CASTRO and the Mariel Boatlift??). What's more, TERRORISTS and other foreigners who don't wish the USA well could easily be concealed in this flood of illegals.





• CUBA

Our only CUBA policy seems to be: 'Waiting for CASTRO to DIE'. We currently ship back Cuban refugees interdicted at sea unless they first make 'landfall' on US soil. Seems like some variant of 'surf vs. turf'. Another KLINTONISTA legacy (remember Elian Gonzales??).

There are also others:

• RUSSIA

Among other things, there is a possibility that they helped Saddam hide his (non existent according to the DEMS and MSM) WMD's. The SADDAM TAPES have not yet shown up on the MSM radar other than as a somewhat distorted version on ABC's Nightline, but there are already some interesting hints from the first cursory translations of what may show up in the future. We're sure the MSM will try to SPIN, FUBAR and SPIKE the SADDAM TAPES, pretty much as they did with the UN's 'Oil for Food' scandal.









* FIRST LOOKS AT THE SADDAM TAPES
PART (1 of 1)






Putin has become an autocrat, though stylistically and institutionally probably closer to Mussolini than to Stalin. Either way, this EX-KGB man rules along with his EX-KGB THUGOCRACY, and free markets, property rights, a free press, the rule of law, and individual freedoms are quickly disappearing. What's more, Russia is starting to brag about its still existing nuclear arsenal, and is back to its old imperialistic tricks with regard to foreign policy.





• CHINA

While we're inextricably being bonded to its robust economy (RED CHINA is as much of a factor in rising demand for oil and the subsequent higher oil prices as are US SUV's), China is building up militarily (and we seem to be helping along every step of the way). It's only a matter of time before the Taiwan shoe drops.





• SAUDI ARABIA

Yeah, we need them for the oil. On the other hand, we can't ignore the fact that they seem to finance a great deal of RADICAL ISLAMISM and its propaganda machine via Madrassa schools and mass media. Some of the money also goes ditrectly to funding the TERRORISM that springs from this HATE PROPOGANDA.

Last but not least, there's HOME SWEET HOME. There is no need to confine our search for 'backdoor plays' and 'stabs in the back' to just foreign powers.

• DEMS and the MSM

The BOLSHEVIK WING that's running the DEM party, as well as their lapdogs the MSM and Pundit Pukes seem to have their heart set on prioritizing their partisan and ideological goals over what's best for America.






This is more than just politics. They want to harm the USA.



A case in point is what's just happened at Harvard. The campus BOLSHEVIK WING forced the resignation of Larry Summers. This was apparently because he put empiricism and open discourse before identity group diversity and political correctness.



Actually, we expected this to happen much sooner. Check out the references
to the 2005 incident that apparently was the 'last straw' in this confrontation in these posts from last year (once each post is loaded, do a local search for Larry Summers).









* THE GLOBAL WARMING HOCKEY STICK
PART (1 of 1)



* FORGET RETRO RADS... LET'S LIVE IN THE 21st CENTURY
PART (1 of 1)






It's clearly a triumph of academic bureaucracy, intolerance, junk science, political correctness, 'identity group diversity uber alles' as opposed to a diversity of ideas. Doctrinaire ideology trumps free inquiry and academic freedom. The 'Veritas' in Harvard's logo has just been tarnished if not completely erased.



Harvard today, the USA tomorrow.



BE AFRAID.





• BUREAUCRATS (State and CIA)

We've always maintained that the USA has a three party system, consisting of the Republicans, the Democrats and the Bureaucrats.









* THE REAL THIRD PARTY IS BUREAUCRATS
PART (1 of 1)






The fact that Bureaucrat rhymes with Democrat is no accident. Bureaucrats are the 'snake eggs' that Democrats put into place to carry on their policies when they are out of power, as is currently the case.






The scary thing is that bureaucracies that supposedly are there to carry out the business of The Nation, no matter who is President seem to have become POLITICIZED. Cases in point are the State Department and the CIA. That there may be some anti-Bushies in the SD and CIA (Wilson, Plame, Scheuer, Pillar etc.) actively pushing their ideology and their agendas from within, is truly scary.



No President irrespective of party, should have to worry about a 'stab in the back' from such quarters. The implications for the rest of us and our resulting SECURITY, are truly discomforting.



BE REALLY AFRAID!!!

So it goes.

THE PEOPLE SHALL JUDGE
