One Excellent Aspect About The War So Far Is You Can Turn It Off
One excellent aspect about the war so far is you can turn it off, the repetitive barrage of military people revealing their strange thinking, and the Imbedded Media who report on cue and duck when a missile comes in, the endless dust of the Garden of Eden, the DR Strangelove General Franks doing an odd twitch and denying the failure of Rumsfeld's Plan, no, Frank's Plan, and Rumsfeld wasn't involved except everyone else says he was, and meanwhile Rummy has taken on the drum beating much more, instead of that Super-Diplomat, George Dubbya-Dubbya-III, thank their extremely strange good god, must be a super god that version...
We've Seen All The GasMasks On Both Sides
Then we've seen all the gasmasks on both sides, but no one has gas, and the embedded Republican Guard who are holding guns at the otherwise cheering liberated non-combatants... And the collateral damage photos of dead children popping up on page one, and they've shown the Parliamentary process in the House of Commons where question time is conducted on a another level of civility quite remarkable... Then there are the pundits forecasting and predicting another Vietnam, or another victory of liberation, but then the talk of rebuilding goes into the corruption of the businesses involved, and who gets to slice up the cake, while the tax bill for it in Congress copped a hiding, nothing like hitting the back pockets of everyone else...
Colon Bowel Starts Threatening The Rest Of The Coalition Of The Un-Willing
And then the black-listing of Media people who've been sacked for not following the Rumsfeldian-Correct Spin, but Rumsfeld waffles on endlessly, but in a vacuum cause he's lost it and all can see, so then Colon Bowel starts threatening Syria to put them on the Axis of Evil Listing, like they've done with Turkey and France and Germany and Russia and the rest of the Coalition of the Un-Willing, cause where on earth did the Iraqis get those night vision goggles? So line up on one side or the other, if you're not with the New World Order, you're gonna cop it...
These Yankee Soldiers Started Singing Xtian Stuff With The Bible Reading Of Babylon Up The Road, What A Joke
And, oh dear, there was that scene where these Yankee soldiers started singing xtian stuff with the Bible reading of Babylon up the road, what a joke... And they have to deal with streams of refugees getting filtered for the Iraqi patriots deserting or keeping coercion up by mingling, so who's the enemy, suicide bombers or committed patriots? And then there's the sieges where they feed those incarcerated? This is a deadly war with maximum force, just don't kill anybody...
So What Is The Final Solution?
So what is the final solution? Will Iraq feel liberated by an occupying Foreign Xtian Crusading Army? Will the Iraqi fighters go underground for another protracted Guerrilla War, the next Vietnam? Will the trap close tight enough on either side to bring out the Gas and Nukes? Will this be the beginning of a Mad Max world of subversion and sabotage, where by far the most vulnerable are the advanced technology cities of the west... Will the knock on do the domino effect and bring in every other despot and his dogs? Hmmm, makes Monica Wilenski so much more the way to go for US Administrations...

The Historic Moments, The Magic Moments, The Definitive Moments, The Symbolic End Of The Saddam Regime
Another one, the historic moments, the magic moments, the definitive moments, there was the symbolic end of the Saddam Regime, his bloody awful statue in the main square was pulled down, the resourcefulness of the US Marines with a tank extrication boom, eventually, after frail attempts by the rag-tag locals, and the ramming of a Stars And Stripes in the face of tyranny, ordered down again, and then an Iraqi flag draped around the statue's neck, and it went too, for the spin look, this was live on TV in front of the world, so stage management had to have a propaganda element... But finally the machine moved back and the image of Saddam bent at the knees and finally went ploomfh, hung in the air for some abuse, and finally crashed down, to be danced on...
The Dancing And Celebrations In The Streets
And to have that image the USA Empire wanted, broadcast to the watching world, including me, the dancing and celebrations in the streets, so there goes the first domino of domination by the New-est World Order, was good to see that bugger Demonised as such though, we had seen the repression peeled back and the torture cells and the strings of allegations revealed to be true in a fashion... When the powerful use death squads to maintain allegiance, it's the pits...
The Predictions Of Those Warmongers Proved True, The People Did Need Rescuing
Thing was the war resistance all seemed so trivial and half hearted, the defence of Iraq was miserable really, cause we didn't see all the subversive work of those secret coalition commissions out knocking off the missile launchers and such, but all in all, the predictions of those warmongers proved true, the people did need rescuing, there was a sullen underground hatred of that Saddam regime, but then that also demonstrated the naivete of those repressed religious societies where democracy is unknown really, and the anarchy breaking out, the looting and desperation of the repressed...
How Sophisticated A New Era Proves To Be, Still Awaits Revelation
So how sophisticated a new era proves to be, still awaits revelation, just hope they go secular and atheist and sensible and get on with decency and a fair political system of argument and avoid violence forever, but I have my doubts...

There's Some Basic Tribal Perceptions Coming Out Of This Clash Of Civilisations, Split Up Between The West And The East
Seems to me there's some basic Tribal perceptions coming out of this clash of civilisations, split up between the West and the East, the white Caucasian capitalist xtian West, as against the swarthy darker Islamic world of the East, is that the basic divide on racial cultural religious bigotry lines?
When The West Was Preoccupied With The Systems Clash Between Social And Capital Ideologies
I would say that when the West was preoccupied with the Systems Clash between Social and Capital ideologies there was a more mixed approach to decency and honour and duty and care for the fellow man type of thing, just trying to prove one system over another had a brake on cruelty, this has since decayed after the collapse of Communism into the dog eat dog capitalism, of look after yourself, user pays, competition, redneck shock jock media propaganda, and greed and corruption and small government, and a slave driving non-unionised workplace, the rip off whoever you can world of Globalism and Corporate Monopoly, with a growing gap again in social equity, the rich getting exorbitantly richer while the poor just lag backwards...
Scratch My Back Fawning Over The Powerful, With The Intransigence Of Religious Laws
Whereas in the East, with the hierarchical family wealth and scratch my back fawning over the powerful, with the intransigence of religious laws, the lack of democracy, and the repression of dissent, the cruel punishments, and inequality of the sexes and opportunities, where the ethnic and religious groupings in the tribal mindsets can be manipulated by religious leaders to fire up madness in the mobs, has held back the East and opened a gap of living standards, life styles and envy of the West, put as devil work and Demonised in that stolid religious stupidity...
This Full On Dichotomy Of People In The World, The Great Divide
This full on dichotomy of people in the world, the great divide now is particularly racial and religiously based, and hardly political in a cynical sense, more like a one-eyed, rusted on, knee jerk, Pavlov's Dog World... So the war in Iraq has defined the differences even more, made the peace ever more distant and given another generation a set of biases to whip their opponents into a lather... It has an element of conversion, to convert the troublemakers into liking and being like their conquerors, the conceit of the crusader to think anyone would want to be like them anyway... It's not the way to go...
The Way To Go Is To Have Each Country Pursue An Independence From All The Others
I reckon the way to go is to have each country pursue an independence from all the others, to aim at self sufficiency in all that is possible, to become self reliant and develop strength and pride and patriotism through mixing the social equity cultures with true capitalism based on real competition... You have to a home grown mixed economy where the youth are educated to provide the Public Services and to have opportunities to pursue Private Manufacturing and Agriculture, protected from the giants of the Corporate World...
You Have To Avoid The American Way, The Buy Out, Take Over, Razor Gang, Cutting Costs Capitalism
You have to avoid the American Way, the buy out, take over, razor gang, cutting costs capitalism, competition should be based on quality of product, where the consumer has real choice, the USA Globalism brand just wants domination over everyone else for some speculative gain from the Holy Market, and operating businesses solely for the shareholdings is bad for consumers, and consumers need jobs, capitalism needs customers, but they lay them off in the current world, and say Don't You Worry About That and It's All Inevitable, jobs go offshore to non-unionised slave labour, while the bosses pocket ripped off profits, which all goes on top of the prices, so consumers pay the capitalist tax in the way of profit margins... It's all gone too sick...
The Elections, If Ever, Will Put Back A Religious Fundamentalist Dickheaded Government, Otherwise It Will Be Western Occupation
When you wind the clock back to the standards of living before Globalism pushed it's way into these other cultures, there was an existing age old culture which the modern world has trampled to death, the scenes of post Saddam Iraq, a Western infliction, the looting and anarchy and reprisals is just going to knock them back further, and the mullahs will moan, and the elections, if ever, will put back a religious fundamentalist dickheaded government, otherwise it will be Western Occupation and propped up puppets who will grow heads like Saddam, eventually have them dragged through the streets again, cause out of all the havoc, it's the big arms manufacturers and US Corporations, the carpetbaggers, the mercenaries, the sub-contractors, who have got all the benefits...
The Latest TV Ploy To Have Tony B Lair And George Dubbya-Dubbya-III Doing The Big Brother Ads For The Neo-Colonial Empire
And the latest TV ploy to have Tony B Lair and George Dubbya-Dubbya-III doing the Big Brother ads for the Neo-Colonial Empire, words as hollow as Saddam's legs when they bent over a thousand times on Historical Event TV... Don't mention Fox for god's sake... Those faces of the Coalition of the Willing, without the Little Twit Squeaks from Australia thank another small god, really do smack of that propaganda novel world from the Dictatorial think tank, it seems the Big Brother TV station is flying over the mayhem of Iraq, telling them that what they have now is freedom, which is expressed below by taking anything and everything they can lay their hands on, if not ringing them out of deaths and injuries, it's all a bit too ghastly, like this movie really does need parental guidance...
The Types To Be Building A Peaceful Political Solution To A Prosperous Peace
Even now with authority vested in the barrels of C of W guns, the ramifications into the future look bleak, the ones with smiles on their faces in victorious fervour are hardly the types to be building a peaceful political solution to a prosperous peace, it doesn't look good, and the ends may be seen to justify the means when you see statues symbolically topple, but what will come of it?

The Other World Of Music And The Dedicated And The Inspired Gathered Again
Took a trip to the Hawkesbury Fiddle Festival where the other world of music and the dedicated and the inspired gathered again, and it was really good, saw JigZag again and they did a combined Misserloue with the Red Hot Gypsies? Or something, fantastic, and there were workshops and master classes and tips and hints and suggestions and analytical assessments by some of the teachers, there was also the intricacies of sound systems and pickups and preamps and crystals which express electron waves when compressed, which was news to me, people go down these worm holes of detail and become such experts, and innovators as well...
Another Professed Cave Hermit, A Rarity
Then I met another professed Cave Hermit, a rarity, he had a story of being one of those people on the Search For Meaning Journey, and ended up there at the festival, but had done and dealt with every cult and belief and moved on, trying to find any good bits, but still ended up at the Fiddle Festival, cause he had cocooned hisself from TV, never had one, ,just the radio and the Brian Wilshire conspiracies, where he had heard of the death of big Reverend Ray Schoeffel the Blacktown Jig fiddler, which they played in one of the sets... And marriage, he never did, too shy, and as for work, only what he had to and avoided too much of that, and just read and searched and found bugger all, and he had pursued the violin in the classics most of his life and was always searching for the correct interpretations, and played and replayed and tried and tried and then gave it up completely in frustration... So the other people I'd met were encouraging this Hermit, who looked like a Moses on a good hair day, and his favourite old movies were Biblical Epics, he was better looking than Charlton Heston and had brains to boot, so they were encouraging this Hermit, to come down from the mountain without the revelations, had a giggle at his own expense when I took the mickey out of him and he turned out to be a willing sort of escapee from fruitlessness... And then disappeared into the night cause he never appeared in daylight it seemed... Vale as in Valentine...
Befuddled, Sick Of It, Worried About The Consequences, And Loathe To Say Anything Much At All
I sussed out everyone's take on the war, who had an opinion or would offer it, they were all the same as each other, befuddled, sick of it, worried about the consequences, and loathe to say anything much at all, cept the more eloquent, so we wandered all over the vaguaries of it all, the personalities, the forces behind them and the wonders of who would be believed, and where it would go, and for christ's sake why in the first place? And stayed befuddled... One of them was a Don, but no relation to Rumsfeld, so he said...

At The National Folk Festival
Saw a smattering of the same faces at the National Folk Festival down in Canberra, at the Showground it was, with more people, and a South Australian contingent with a few extra venues, but a lot of sites had moved, not sure about feng shewi of some of it, like the Sessions Bar had had an oppressive atmosphere with lights too bright and glaring, but some cloth had been draped and the light cut down and the place was packed anyway, let’s see who did I see? Well Spoot O’ Skerry was excellent with the fiddle of Sarah and the pipes of Evan, and Dave and Sam, the CD is out… Did so much, the home brew judging was good, the fiddler with `all the skills this time I reckoned was this bloke from Ireland Scotland and Northern Spain, who could play so easily...

Seems To Be All Lost In A Fog
Another day, seems to be all lost in a fog, can’t remember anything much, copied some CD’s tho, the Gypsy Hot Club And Spoot O’ Skerry, and I haven’t arranged anything, on a bit of a bludge really…

The Deaths Of Those Who Will Never Grow Old Is The Poignant Thing
War, War, War, it's all the world is on about, and here in Sydney it's ANZAC Day, which I always thought was misdirected in some ways, commemorating the wars and campaigns that Aussies have been involved in other countries, there were always some necessary wars in defence of the good life, just depends on the side you're on I spose, but the deaths of those who will never grow old is the poignant thing, the naivete of the young is that incredible quality that sees them sacrificed to some idiot idea usually, so it's always with mixed feelings that Remembrances of the Wars come back through rosy glasses and a lot of the stupidity, bigotry, cruelty, and ruthlessness gets put aside, not to mention the profiteering and crime...
Seeing Those Flips Banging Their Own Heads And Whipping Themselves And Going Through All That Calisthenics
But history of mankind is full of war and destruction and genocide and hatred and seems in some eras it was only the powerful footprint of a Dictatorship or Empire that kept the downtrodden and in sullen peace, like the example of Iraq coming out from under shows what those religious freaks carry on like when they are let out of the Straightjacket, no wonder those crazy religions of theirs contain such threatening punishments and domination, now Saddam has gone you can see what he was sitting on top of... Seeing those flips banging their own heads and whipping themselves and going through all that calisthenics, arm waving and chanting, it 's so debasing and makes you realise how hopeless those people are, they are too absurd to be part of the world of reason and intelligence, let alone capable of joining in a political Green Democracy to save the Planet...
One Mullah Type Who'd Already Taken Power Somewhere, The Interviewer Asked Him Where He Got His Money From?
If they ever get a chance to vote you know what they'll vote for, some god thing, some mullah whatever, for some religious debacle again, like I saw a media bloke question one mullah type who'd already taken power somewhere, and the interviewer asked him where he got his money from? Saying in a Democracy you are expected to reveal who is backing you with money? But this guy just evaded and said he was too tired, they learn quickly don’t they...
I Wish There Was A Test To Keep Religions Out Of Parliaments And Keep Them In The Madhouses Where They Belong
It highlights how the revolutions through history that succeeded always seemed to write Constitutions that banned religions and kings and dictatorships, the USA Constitution provides for the Separation of State and religions, and was written by atheists from the turmoil of old Europe, to avoid the kings and popes and trubbles, but those rotten xtian bigots in America have chipped away at decency and fairness and brought in more and more challenges to the Rule of Democratic Constitutional Law, and want to go back to their own Interpretations of inappropriate Scriptures, god they're a pack of bluddy troublemakers, I wish there was a test to keep religions out of Parliaments and keep them in the madhouses where they belong, and out of the media, just censor the buggers...
A New Labor Leader In Simon Crean, Since The Last Two Successive Losses By Kim Beazley
The Labor Party in Australia is going gah-gah, they have had a new Labor leader in Simon Crean, since the last two successive losses by Kim Beazley... And now Big Kim waxes lyrical with Maxine and says he would have loved to be Prime Minister during the war! Cripes he had two goes at it, and he blew it, turns out he is part of that Labor that should be split off, the Right Wing, why the hell don't they join the bluddy So-Called Liberals who are now the most Right Wing and Neo-Conservative pack of ratbags we've ever had...
Simon Crean Is Intelligent, Wise And Is Doing A Good Job
Simon Crean is intelligent, wise and is doing a good job, however, there is a misconception about him generated in the Shock-Jock media, also the ABC media, I have never heard anyone really give him a fair go, and I reckon, within all the constrictions of So-Called Labor Policy he has done a good job, he took a stand on the Iraq War being a UN Sanctioned undertaking, and stood against the breaking of the rules of law that the Conservatives ripped up... But he's been accused of having looks problems and a whining manner, which is spinning rubbish...
Simon Says He's There For The Long Run, So Good Luck To Him
Well Simon Crean is the best of the crop, in both major Parties today there is a dearth of leadership talent, but Simon would use that idiot Dog Costello as a doormat, much like Keating would have, should have done... Anyway The Dog wouldn't get a look in with the Golliwog doing a rising from the ashes, besides some others too awful to mention who will easily stab him in the Krogers... So Simon says he's there for the long run, so good luck to him... He ought to nationalise the Commonwealth Bank, he'd win just on that, and reverse the Labor Policies on Privatisation, Competition, Media Ownership, Religious Schools, Globalism, the GST, bring in Tariffs and Protection and make Full Employment the absolute Number One Plank, then walk it...
