TECHNOLOGY: “Drive by” messages!

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Ever notice how many more what I call “drive by messages” are being sent?

That is a message that includes a disclaimer saying that it won’t be read.

I imagine them saying: “If you ask for clarification, we’re going to ignore you”!

Arghhhh!

Wasn’t “marketing” supposed to be a “conversation with customers”?

Well, that’s like “Customer Service” being expected to “service” “customers”?

I know I feel like I’ve been “serviced”! In the sense of bulls and cows.

Argh!

RANT: Government is not us

Not Us. Never, Ever Us.

But second, it’s important to emphasize again and again and again that this notion that we, the people, are in any way the government is fraudulent. The government is not us. It cannot ever be us. If it were, there’d be no need for signs that say “Property of the United States Government” with warnings to trespassers because how can citizens — who are sovereign — trespass on the property over which they are sovereign? It’s the problem of socialist property writ large, and it’s why popular sovereignty is bunkum. All human societies become societies in which a relatively tiny elite rule a majority, and democracy (along with ideology) is just modernity’s method of legitimizing that elite rule. I have compared democratic rituals to religious rituals before, and I do believe that elections are the central sacrament of democracy. A pointless sacrament of an idolatrous religion.

The truth is governments are always a menacing entity. Often times they are evil. Sometimes they are even foreign. Government is not us. And it will not ever be us.

Important to underscore.

This is not a democracy.

It’s an oligarchy.

Leadership by a political elite, who do what they want.

(Think the healthcare polls!)

We have to follow Gandhi and just not cooperate!

TINFOILHAT: OKC and the second man

What Clinton didn’t say about OKC
Posted: April 22, 2010
Jack Cashill is an Emmy-award winning independent writer and producer with a Ph.D. in American Studies from Purdue.

“The magistrate, Ronald L. Howland, ordered McVeigh to be held without bail after listening to four hours of testimony from FBI special agent John Hersley in which he described eyewitness accounts of a yellow Mercury with McVeigh and another man inside speeding away from a parking lot near the federal building.”

Rather than put a single witness on the stand who could place McVeigh in or near Oklahoma City on April 19, the prosecution chose to build an entire case on circumstantial evidence.

The Justice Department had lost all interest in the eyewitnesses as soon as the White House had established its talking points. They also lost interest in any Islamic connection.

“Could the al-Qaida explosives expert [Ramzi Yousef] have been introduced to the angry American [Terry Nichols] who proclaimed his hatred for America,” writes Richard Clarke of Nichols’ visit to the Philippines in “Against All Enemies.” “We do not know, despite some FBI investigation.”

“Some FBI investigation”? Why was there not a massive FBI investigation? The reason is fairly obvious: McVeigh and Nichols served as poster boys for the natural progression of the “Republican revolution.”

*** end quote ***

Seems like some unanswered questions about “OKC BOMBING”.

As usual, we never get the truth. And, yes, I think we can handle the truth.
