Miasma in the House of Bite Me
Grassroots journalism & current events, cyberculture, technology, privacy, with a little new criticism, feminism, postmodernism, radical pedagogy, & new media theory thrown in.
because they saw a way to play the neocons for help in a globally orchestrated coup. We will know, of course, when/if Chalabi is put into place as the Karzai of Iraq.
You heard, of course, about the "crowd" the Pentagon flew in to cheer and impress the media in the staging of the fall of the statue? That happened when this site was on hiatus, but I got the URL with the Reuters wide shot, showing US tanks and road blocks around the permeter, sign that the "crowd" was hand-picked, and further, some perceptive international photogs noticed some faces were familiar, had come in on the plane in Chalabi's entourage.
Dark times, we are in.

Useful Idiots. U.S. Insiders Say Iraq Intel Deliberately Skewed "Vince Cannistraro, a former chief of Central Intelligence Agency counterterrorist operations, said he knew of serving intelligence officers who blame the Pentagon for playing up "fraudulent" intelligence, "a lot of it sourced from the Iraqi National Congress of Ahmad Chalabi." The marines are looking, but they can't find a damn thing. So... were Bush and company played by the INC, or were the American people played by Team Bush? [MetaFilter]
It was the freakiest thing. The exact moment of annularity (which did hit right where I lived, unlike this one, that just seems to be annular in Scotland) also aligned with my exact natal moon. Another good reason to throw a party.
So I started these slow-cooking ribs out on my grill around noon, when it happened. It was just nutty. I didn't look at it. Hey, I'm not stupid. But you didn't have to, see? All the shadows under the trees got just bizarre, with these funky doughnuts all over the place. Reminded me of those reflex telephoto lenses with the center mirror that turn all the highlights into doughnuts. But this turned the shadows into doughnuts, and when the wind blew the leaves, the doughnuts bounced up and down.
But it is courting fate to have a party during an eclipse, as any WISE astrologer will tell you (I ain't that wise). I started a beer on an empty stomach to celebrate the eclipse and the ribs (which smelled wonderful) and by the time my guests arrived (OK, so being a hostess really stresses me out anyway), I was a bit sloshed. Then I started reading Tarot cards and it got very freaky. By the end of the night, the party was a big success, but I'd suffered a personal disaster I could see in the last card reading I did, even tho it didn't show up until 6 months later or so. But the events were put in motion that night.
And the moral of this story is: don't mess with an eclipse. You can enjoy it, dance nekkid under the moon, whatever you like. But no big plans. Not a good idea.
They believe their own spin/snowjob and get pissed off because other nations are the suckers the American people are?!
I dunno, I'm just guessing. I'd like to hope they can distinguish between their "Wag the Dog" Saving Jessica Lynch stories and whatever it was that really happened, but who knows? Delusions are everywhere.
We are ruled by the 7 of Cups. Now ain't THAT a freaky feeling?

Allies: Where are the WMDs?!. The Dems and the U.S. public may meekly accept the administration's ever-changing answers about Saddam's alleged weapons. But our foreign allies don't -- and the more the White House spins, the angrier they get.
