The New Jacobins, or, LET THEM WEAR THEIR HEADSCARVES!!!

18-01-2004 15:03

The New Jacobins...
I don't know what it is about the French, but they seem to know how to annoy everyone. They aggravate the Right by not going along with wars, and the Left by circumscribing religious freedom.

Some have suggested that this is an argument to be had with religious nutters, a brave secular attack on the ancien regime. I hate to tell you this, but it ain't. Jaques Chirac and Jean-Pierre Raffarin are not operating in defense of the Republic, they are operating in a climate where the high vote for Jean Marie Le Pen has legitimised and sanctified racism and Islamophobia...

Paranoid shift

16-01-2004 16:52

By Michael Hasty
Online Journal Contributing Writer

January 10, 2004—Just before his death, James Jesus Angleton, the legendary chief of counterintelligence at the Central Intelligence Agency, was a bitter man. He felt betrayed by the people he had worked for all his life. In the end, he had come to realize that they were never really interested in American ideals of "freedom" and "democracy." They really only wanted "absolute power."

THE KILLER WEED!!

A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!

I'm laughing like this because a) I'm high as fuck and b) I've just read the BBC's account of how "Cannabis 'led to shooting'" . Yeah, see, it turns out some geezer gunned down his 66 year old neighbour after an argument over a hedge. Apparently, the cannabis he smoked just turned it into a big deal and made him go out, get a gun, and blow the old bastard's brains out...

Iraq attacks down 22% since Saddam capture.

13-01-2004 19:24

The Iraqi Resistance Packs it in - It's Official!! According to USA Today , that bastion of serious news coverage, attacks on US troops are down 22% since Saddam Hussein's capture. What we are supposed to infer from this is that the Iraqi resistance was a concoction of Saddam Hussein and the Ba'athists. They don't represent the Iraqi people, (even when polls show they do), and they obviously don't have the usual rights that occupied citizens have to resist their occupiers...

CHERYL SEAL REPORTS: To Win in 2004, the Democrats Must Reclaim America's Soul

13-01-2004 16:48

Thanks to the Bush Reich and his neofascist goons in Congress, who helped pave the way for his dictatorship, America's center has been pulled so far to the right that the country is in danger of toppling over. To win in 2004, the Democratic Party must reclaim the center - and its own soul.

Facts About Israel Our U.S. Media Don't Tell Us

13-01-2004 06:15

Israel Is A Threat To World Peace And A Prime Cause Of Terrorism
The "security fence" being built is, in most places, twice as high as the Berlin Wall and much more fortified. It has little to do with security, and everything to do with a land grab. If it was for security, it would go between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It does not. It goes off into the Occupied Territories, taking about 80% of the water supply ( more precious than oil in the Mid East), and most of the fertile land. Many Palestinians are on the Israeli side. Some "security fence". It also separates thousands of Palestinians from their centuries old olive groves and croplands.

How to spot Kilroy lies

12-01-2004 22:16

It was originally written as a response to the views of opponents to the war in Iraq that Arab States 'loathe' the West and my piece referred to 'Arab States' rather than 'Arabs'.


Out of that context, it has obviously caused great distress and offence and I can only reiterate that I very deeply regret that."
On the basis of that pitiful claim, a number of neophytic defenders of free speech have emerged to claim that Kilroy is being subject to a politically correct pogrom. Here is what Kilroy wrote:

“We're told that the Arabs loathe us. Really?… What do they think we feel about them? That we adore them for the way they murdered more than 3,000 civilians on September 11… That we admire them for the cold-blooded killings in Mombasa, Yemen and elsewhere? That we admire them for being suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women-repressors?”

Does that say "Arab states" or "Arabs"? Oh, you read it right. Apart from anything else, claiming that "Arab states" "murdered more than 3,000 civilians on September 11", or were responsible for the bombings in Mombasa and Yemen makes absolutely no sense at all. Unless Kilroy-Silk knows more about the planning behind the 9/11 attacks than we would hitherto have assumed, I suggest he's trying to pull one over on us.
