2. invented the tin can;

3. its top university once had rules that specifically forbade students from bringing bows and arrows to class;

4. home to the Gytrash;

5. is not officially recognized as a country.

Clue for no points: Its lowest land point is getting even lower each year.

[nice people] what's in a name

Beslan

I'll have to ask Germaine Lindsay for clarification:

These names - Bilal Abdulla, Mohammed Asha, Kafeel Ahmed, Hasib Hussain, Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mohamed Atta, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Khaled al-Harbi, Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, Osman Larussi, Yacine Benalia, Kamel Rabat Bouralha, Imam Samudra - they're all Jewish names, aren't they?

Or are they French? As we're assured by the MCB and a multitude of other organizations that all Muslims are peaceful people, then obviously the above names could not be Muslim.

I ask only for information.


"We killed too many," the Bali bomber laughed.


Last night I was reading quite a few articles on the Black Pope, currently Adolfo Nicolás, and about the Jesuits and all the naughtiness they're meant to have got up to. If all that were true [and Eric Jon Phelps does not seem the most reliable of writers, being almost obsessively anti-Jesuit], then where does that leave the Zionists? After that, where does that leave the Jihadis?

Seems to me that Phelps might well have part of the jigsaw right, Jones another, the anti-Zionists another and so on. It seems logical to me that any committed organization, be it the CIA or the Anglican church, is going to follow the same pattern.

At the "sheep level", e.g. the Masonic blue orders, things run fairly well according to the publicity and these are the people seconded to write it, in innocence and with conviction. As you move up the order, you're going to run into the more ambitious types, the more committed and the separation begins between the black and the white.

In any organization there are the genuine troopers and also the quislings who follow another agenda from above. Even Jesus once referred to the wheat and the tares. Thus you could have Donald Segretti doing his dirty tricks from the White House but something vastly more worrying in Anton le Vey at the CIA. I've read of quite a few "good" CIA men like Miles Copeland but I've also read of Scapitz and Ewen Cameron [who was convicted] and companies Sandoz and Eli Lilly.

In "Science Digest, April 1971", G.H. Estabrooks wrote an article called "Hypnosis Comes of Age". This led to far more than hypnosis, in fact DID and they knew this was beyond the CIA charter:

Following the conclusion of the general discussion, all technical apparatus was removed from the premises, and all participating personnel left the area. Checks were made and apparently indicated that the subject, although not having specific amnesia for the Artichoke treatment, nevertheless was completely confused and his memory was vague and faulty."

Now we're in an area where the middle echelons, hungry for success and advancement, are not above breaking people's identities apart and regressing them to incontinence, if it is going to earn them brownie points above. These are the Lieutenant Calleys, the Lynndie Englands, the oven stackers at Auschwitz, even von Stauffenberg in the early years. The really vicious pieces of work who seem to relish it are noted from above and certain overtures are made to them.

They advance.

So there are two distinct threads running through any organization - the career officers and the vicious. By the time you get to the very top - the Cheneys, Wolfowitzes, Kissingers, we're into the outward manifestation of the real power, alongside the career officers like the Eisenhowers who seem, to the world, to have the power but in fact are limited. The good are always marginalized at the top. To the world, they all seem part of the same team until things start to come out.

So, to say that, per se, The Masons, The CIA, The Jesuits, The Zionists and The Muslims are all bad is just not so - it's not borne out by the history of organizations. It's just that the bad element has got itself entrenched and the bile trickles down. That's why Lynddie England did what she did with impunity - it wasn't directly specified from above but by the very lack of consequences, of what she was given to understand, she saw that she could overstep the mark and it would hardly matter.

Ditto Calley.

Now there is no way you'll convince me that that did not trickle down from on high or else the middle echelons did what they did to please the brass. Where did the idea come from that they could set aside common decency and act like animals? And the higher and higher you go, the deeper and deeper you delve, the more it turns clandestine, the more it resembles Salon Kitty, with the high camp omnisexuality, bizarre grotesqueness, pleasure children and the whole shenanigans.

Somewhere along the line, this needs to be called true evil, in its practical manifestation.

There are no loyalties up there - percentage and pleasure are the only rules. The nature of the particular organization they're in gives their spiritual desolation a peculiar flavour, e.g. the Imams who call for jihad, meaning the extermination of women and children, who pervert Islam and the Islamic youth into false readings of the Koran, their thing is religious obsession, whereas the Cheneys are just into dissolution but at the highest levels, they're all serving the same master.

So, to return to the Muslim extremists, what they did was heinous and they deserve the hell they're going to but meanwhile, the truly guilty sit in the mosques and continue the bile. Amongst the Zionists, the kabbalists are the ones to watch, especially the masters of the lore. They're the true criminals who have always misused their power, throughout the ages, on poor humanity. Ditto the Druids. The 32nd degree Masons. The Archbishops, the Jimmy Swaggarts.

On and on it goes.

And who are they looking for to fill the key roles in education, the law, religion, medicine and the arts? "Talent", as Common Purpose and the Bilderbergers put it. Talent. Meaning the likely types who respond to promotion and perks and will walk over their grandmothers to get them. It's no accident that the whole fabric of society is white-anted, riddled through and through, the way it is. Go to any blog and read about it.

Solution? Tom Paine says:

Our problem is not with the leaders but with their clients; the state employees and the economically inactive who now (together) exceed thirty million. They would ensure that if you killed this mob, you would get one just as bad.

This thing runs right down through the society but in the end, it does all emanate from the head, from on top. A perfect example was Nixon's White House. with the head corrupt, there was virtually no chance for virtue below.

Solution? I don't know of any right now.

[blitz antimafia] in diverse città della sicilia e in toscana


This would strike the average non-Italian as par for the course:

Un maxi blitz dei carabinieri del Comando provinciale di Palermo è in corso in diverse città dell'isola. I militari stanno eseguendo 99 fermi ordinati dai pm della Direzione distrettuale antimafia. Si tratta di capimafia, reggenti di mandamenti e gregari che farebbero parte delle famiglie mafiose, coinvolti da alcuni boss palermitani in un progetto criminale che ha come obiettivo quello di "rifondare Cosa nostra".

I wanted to know where exactly they'd struck and it seems it came from Palermo and targetted all over Sicily. Hope Welshcakes wasn't arrested or didn't get caught in the crossfire but I think she's a law-abiding citizen.

Basically, the old mafia heads were trying to set up a new cosa nostra after Bernardo Provenzano fell in 2006. Interesting that the carabinieri had this success this time around. Wonder where Berlusconi was in all of this? Italian politics runs deep.

By the way, Italian is not so difficult in written form, is it? Could you get the gist of the quote above?


[tyranny] at what point is its removal legitimate


Don't know why, as I'm not crazy about Tom Cruise but I really hope Valkyrie succeeds.

He seems to have tried to rehabilitate himself and the type of driven character which was von Stauffenberg, the plotter to kill Hitler, is also present in Cruise. So to the story of those days.

Bishop Preysing of Berlin from 1935 on and close friend and associate of Bettinger, saw as others after the Nazis assasinated Rohm, one of their own, that the Nature of the Reich was inherently vile, and changing for the worse. He was an outspoken voice against the true nature of the Nazis, warning Catholics that they were not the conservative negotiators of the 1933 concordat. Preysing was also the Bishop to whom von Stauffenberg and others pleaded to intercede with the Vatican , asking questions regarding the ethics of killing a tyrant. Reports Catholic Herald:

Von Stauffenberg reportedly met with Cardinal Count Preysing of Berlin to discuss this matter, and his eminence honored the motives and offered no theological objection to restrain him. In so doing, Cardinal Preysing placed his own life in jeopardy with the Gestapo, but was never implicated in the plot.

Many saw von Stauffenberg's purpose as self preservation and for that of the nobility, which was more than likely a factor after Rohm; however, after Major Kuhn:

... became a POW of the Soviets after the 20 July plot, he led the Soviets to the hiding place of the documents in February 1945. In 1989, Gorbachev presented these documents to then-German chancellor Dr. Helmut Kohl. These documents, produced by Stauffenberg and his fellow officers in 1943 in Berlin, evince the idealistic motivation of the resistance group.

The plot was not carried out terribly well. For a start, von Stauffenberg had too much responsibility, both to arm the bomb and then call the forces to support the coup. He did not arm the second bomb at the meeting place, his three fingers barely equal to the task, the first bomb was moved under the most solid part of the room - a thick oak table and then he proceeded as if he'd succeeded, without confirmation.

They didn't seem to have a good exit plan either.

The most enduring theme to come from this was the eternal question of when a patriot can officially commit high treason and kill a legitimate head of state [in terms of process, if not moral right]. This was the theme of V for Vendetta and is an appropriate question for discussion within a Britain now under severe duress from Gordon Brown's Nu-Labour who have inexorably tightened the screws on the society ever since Nu-Labour came to power.

At what point is it legitimate for a patriot to set in train a series of events which would remove the decimator of the society? Also, is the head of state actually the main culprit? He may be just a pawn. Maybe the EU itself should be the target. That both are morally bankrupt and have done great damage to the society is beyond doubt in the minds of the majority of pundits.

The same thing could be said about non-President Obama. At what point would removing him be a legitimate act in defence of the peoples of the United States?

One remaining question is at what point someone would have the nerve to be labelled "insurgent", "terrorist" and be set upon by the very forces which he/she would consider it was being done for. Who would appreciate the action?

Would it not be better for the Ragnarök to just take its course?

[blogfocus] more sites than you can poke a stick at



This is not a very good blogfocus as I don't go into details about the sites. I should. I can't, as I have to do RL stuff and it's all I can do to post. Sorry this time round.

Also, blogroundups make more enemies than friends, as they often leave out regular friends like Pisces, Cherie, Uber, Matt, Dragonstar, Rob, Jailhouse Lawyer, Bob, Lord Somber, and Angus, let alone those who RSS read and occasionally drop by by way of comments. Then there are the inaccessible dearieme and ScotstoryB. then there are those appreciated souls who visit quietly.

By the way, the difficult to define Uber has a nice piece just now on songs she'd want played at her funeral.

So, knowing it will offend some by omission, nevertheless, here are some interesting sites to check out:
