VIEWS FROM 8/23/06
Iran has given its nuke reply to the UN--and that is all CNN would say. Must be fairly good news or we would be beat to death by anti-Iran stories and quips.........
More drama for this Karr dude--relatives say he was in GA. when 6 yr old was killed--O K --it is official now--I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
US says Iran's reply on nukes falls short--short of what??????????
OBSERVATION****************
Much has been written and talked about of how Muslim women are controlled by their families--But the Western woman is just as manipulated as her Muslim counterpart--HOW YOU ASK. The media details how a woman must look, act, and spend her life. NOT THE SAM, yousay--WRONG--butt breathe--IT IS THE SAME--manipulation is manipulation, regardless of the form it may take.
QUESTION*************
What is it about Americans that makes them crave fluff and gossip??????? They want to know what Britany is up to--and the starving people, or war or whatever is just not that intersting. Is it because they are mental midgets??? PROBABLY!!!!!!!!!
23 August 2006
ANOTHER WEDNESDAY---8/22/06
The closer we get to 9/11, the more programming on terrorism and how to be safe--FEED THE NEED--THE FEAR FACTOR--scare tactics for stupid people.
Why would Iran need forgrein ioil????????
The US can taunt the world with their special brand of threats, but when anyone else does the same, they are silly and a danger to the world.
I have a quiestion--With the interest in corn as a fuel additive, What will that do to the food supply??????
NEWSFLASH***************
Karr was given his blue jail uniform yesterday--I was really concerned about this.
Now we faced with the daunting task of decideing the fate of the penny--that means that we will be spending a dollar instead of $.99.
Republicans were fortuinate, politically speaking, when 9/11 happened and you can bet they will get as much mileage out of this fuel as they can before the elections, by fanning the flames of fear!!!!!
The "hatred" that Muslims have for the US is just a clever technique employed to keep a racist agenda in the forefront of the news and to help strengthen the heavy hand used in dealing with Arabs.
CNN's Larry King talks to some of the most pompou asses around--makes you proud to be American!!!!!!!
Are you assholes that anal that you cannot exist without knowing every minor detail of the Ramsey case??????? I have a thought--GET A FUCKIN' LIFE!!!!!!
Sanctions against Iran--Good idea--make another Cuba or North Korea--it will not improve the situation in any way--a wasted effort!!!!
USMC recalls people to active duty to cover a shortfall in recruiting. lollollollol!!!!!!
Congo's leap into democracy has turned into a roit with rocks and gunfire in the caspital to bring in the new era--FUCKIN' IDIOTS!!!!!!!
22 August 2006
RANTINGS FOR 8/21/06
This Karr dude has landed in LA--good to know I was wondering where the asshole was--and now I am wondering what happened on the plane--CNN will give me a blow by blow (no pun intended) account of everything he did on the plane from bowel movement to shirt selection.
KODAK MOMENT***************
LOOK AT KARR....................and tell me you cannot see he is a pervert.........................
There are those people who believe that the formation of Israel was the beginning of 'end days' and this was in 1948.
CNN is running a report with video of the war games being conduccted in Iran. Iranians are flexing their military muscle for the viewing of the West. This brazen attempt to impress the US wasx made possible by the US invasion of Iraq and as of yet the US has not acknowledged the fact that they are responsible for this defiance by the Iranians.
NEWSFLASH***********************
Some Human Rights organizations are beginning toinvestigate abuses by both sides in the ME conflict.
Now that the shooting is for the most part over, CNN is having no problems finding Arab commentators. Where was this effort during the heigth of the hositities?
European countries are seemingly avoiding sending troops into the ME probs. why?????
HUMOR*****************
Bush says that the war in Iraq is straining the American psyche. YA THINK???????? But he said to leave Iraq early without finishing the job was only helping the enemy--a familiar statement of the Vietnam era. Bullshit then--Bullshit now!!!!!!!!!!!
When asked about Iran, Bush said that were consequences for thumbing your nose at the UN. There Is?? If so then why are not the US pasying for their thumbing pertraining to Iraq??? Riddle me that!!!!!!

WAR TO END WAR
| ||
The war that will end all wars?
08/17/2006 08:18 PM | By George S. Hishmeh, Special to Gulf News What are the chances that the futile month-long war that Israel had launched on Lebanon and the humiliating and embarrassing defeat it was dealt with will serve as "the war that will end all wars" between Israelis and Arabs? It certainly could, if the cards are played correctly. But the chances that this may happen may still be bordering on wishful thinking. And a lot may depend on what the Bush administration and its discredited Israeli ally may want to do, certainly in the months ahead. The two countries have had in the past few months a shady relationship, as the public accounts now clearly attest. Seymour M. Hersh, writing in The New Yorker this week, says the Bush administration "was closely involved in the planning of Israel's retaliatory attacks" against Lebanon's Hezbollah. "Both President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney were convinced," the respected American newspaperman reported, "that a successful Israeli Air Force bombing campaign against Hezbollah's heavily fortified underground-missile and command-and-control complexes in Lebanon could ease Israel's security concerns and also serve as a prelude to a potential American preemptive attack to destroy Iran's nuclear installations, some of which are also buried deep underground." Quoting an unidentified Middle East expert with "knowledge of the current thinking of both the Israeli and the US governments", Hersh said the White House "was more focused in striping Hezbollah of its missiles, because, if there was to be a military option against Iran's nuclear facilities, it had to get rid of the weapons that Hezbollah could use in a potential retaliation at Israel". Bombing plan In high-level discussions in Washington cited by Hersh, Israel was apparently able to convince Washington of its bombing plan by citing "the war in Kosovo as an example of what Israel could try to achieve". He added, "The Israelis told (Secretary of State) Condi Rice, 'you did it in about 75 days, but we need half of that 35 days'." But Israeli columnist Gideon Levy of Haaretz, weighing the failure of Israel's Lebanese misadventure, expressed hope that this "might teach the Americans the important lesson that there is no point in pushing Israel into military adventures". Had Israel succeeded, Levy feared, "the US would have pushed us into a military clash with Syria and, drunk with victory, we might have been tempted. Iran might have been next". Further, he went on, Israel would be tempted "to solve the Palestinian problem at its root by pounding, erasing, bombing and shelling". Regardless of who was pushing whom in this fiasco, the results have once again exposed the Bush administration's incompetence in foreign affairs and for the first time cut Israel down to size. Richard Armitage, a former secretary of state, advised: "If the most dominant military force in the region the Israel Defence Forces can't pacify a country such as Lebanon, with a population of four million, you should think carefully about taking that template to Iran, with strategic depth and population of 70 million … The only thing that the [Israeli] bombing has achieved so far is to unite the population against the Israelis." Logical options There are only two logical options for the Bush administration and Israel. President Bush, who was deluding himself when he thought Hezbollah was defeated, may however feel satisfied if the Lebanese Islamists will stay out of south Lebanon, an unlikely possibility now that their stature has reached sky high in the region. At this stage, the only course for the Bush administration, if it hopes to improve its ruined stature, would be to follow up immediately with convincing Israel to give up the occupied Sheba'a Farms and the exchange of prisoners, the long-delayed issue that had prompted Hezbollah to abduct the two Israeli soldiers in early July. Once the ball starts rolling, US diplomacy should immediately turn its attention to the Arab-Israeli issue whereby Israel would be convinced to give up the Golan Heights as Syria has been demanding in return for a peace treaty with Israel, not unlike those signed by Egypt and Jordan. But more importantly, the Bush administration ought to be more serious and sensible about negotiating a final settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The opportunity could not be better than at present. Israel and hopefully Washington had learned a hard lesson about the futility of military options as a tool for international diplomacy. The first test for the Bush administration may come at the end of this month when the US and its European partners have to deal with Iran's nuclear ambitions. But if they fail, this may regrettably encourage all those who had wild dreams to try again in a few years' time dashing all hopes for peace in the region.

CNN's new show terror 2.0--again a whole bunch of 'cracker' experts who have a special insightr to the mind of alleged terroists, who would not really know a terrorist even if they walked up and bit them in them ass. And another prized individual, a reformed jihadist who main concern is to hahawk his new book--my question is, can his insight be trusted? Is it accurate or bullshit to sell books? Or is he just telling people what they want to hear to sell copies?
The accused killer of a 6 yr old boards palane in Bagkok for LA!! Yawner!!!!
CNN's AC360 will air a show all about polygamy--My thought is if you cannot keep one woman happy, why in hell do you want more?
And CNN is still airing the 100 time of the story on the explosion of TWA 800.
*****OPINION********
Everyone involved in the JonBonnet case will write a book, from father to garbage man that picks up the Ramsey trash--so please move on to REAL fuckin' news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VIEW FROM THE WINDOW OF 8/19/06
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CNN is interviewing everyone who ever drove past the Ramsey House. Please let the little girl die!!
Hour after hour of the same shit and more shit.
CNN--the 24 hr news network that runs reruns daily, so I guess the news is actually happening in 18 hr cycles and the rest of the time the world hiberates.
So 24 hr News network, but not in a row!!!!!!!!
News like people being evictated in the Sudan and houses being bull dozed and In the Congo, a tv station, CCTV, has told viewers to take revenge on white people and forgeiners--but none of this has made the cut as NEWS
SORRY, I can stand only so much of the reoports of a 10 yr murder case--THIS IS A LIMP DICK STORY!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A CONCEPT--A credit card that pays you 1% to spend money. A fucking gimmick that gets',m hook everytime.
I ACTUALLY WATCHED VH1'S "I LOVE THE 70'S" and two idiots were talking about Jethro Tull--and I realized that if yopu are a 20-something and have an IQ equal to your shoe size you will not get what TULL is about. It can be explained another way--YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON!!!!!!!!!
19 August 2006
AUGUST 18, 2006--VIEWS FROM THE PIT
As I said yesterday--the US has spent half a trillion dollars on the War on Drugs and what has the money help accomplish? Drugs are still everywhere and easily excessible, so what has the money done? Made buying drugs easier???????In economic terms--supply is up--price is down..
HUMOR*************
UK's Prescott sasys Bush's ME policy is "CRAP" (a direct quote). I am sure that Blair, Bushy's butt boy, will take Prescott aside and whack his pee pee.
Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!CNN keeps fanning the flames of fear--A new shiow "Terrorism 2.0" and then there is "Inside Hezbollah" and "In The Footsteps of Bin-Laden" all these with a good helping of fear built in. Enter the Boogey Man!!!!! The 5 yr anniversary of 9/11 is approaching so we must whip the veiwing public into freny so that we can by pass all the crap that is turning the rest of the world into do-do.
STUDIES FROM 8/17/06
CEASEFIRE IS STILL GOOD--UN REPORTS
Head way is being made in sub-ASahara Africa in the war on AIDS--a milestone--1 million people have been treated with a anti-retroviral treatment This is a good start to control the disease , but the biggest story were an interview with Bon Jovi and the rehash of the death of 6 yr old 10 yrs ago and that someone found A screwdriver on a plane, the tool not the drink!
The death of any 6 yr old is a tragedy, but apparently the death of a rich 6 yr old is more newsworthy than the saving of lives, especially if they havre dark skin, sarcasm intended.
Now CNN is talking to anyone who knew the 6 yr old or even drove past the house in the past. GIVE MME STRENGTH!!!!!!!
NEWS FLASH**********************
A Federal judge rules that the warrantless wiretapping is unconstitutional!!!!!!!!WELL KISS MY ASS!!!!!!! Finally someone who will take a stance against Bushy boys. The judge stated that in her opinion it violates the rights of speech and privacy. Of course this will be challenged by the Admin, because the judge has ordered an immediate end to the program.
THE OOPS FACTOR***************
Us planes bomb Afghan police an d kill 10. Nice job guys, that is how you make friends in the Bush world.
More shit about the 6 yr old death; more preople who want to talk on CNN; more .............
What is it about this child that makes it worth 12 hrs of coverage; the guy confessed, he is being extridited, good police work--let it fucking go and let this poor child DIE!!!!!!!!!
***PERSONAL OPINION************
CNN's new talk guy, Glen Beck, says. "We are on the eve of WWIII" Radio soothsayer is born--YAWN.
FINALLY
A report on the ME--the report states that the ceasefire is holding but fragile and that tensions are high..... (report cut short for info onMel Gibson DUI case. Sorry, the fucker will be finbe he has ,money than Jesus.
OBSERVATION*********
American viewers are so goddamn shallow that they had rather watch reports on gossip than to know what is really going on in the world. IT IS TO THE POINT THAT I AM ASHAMED OF BEING AN AMERICAN............
ANOTHER NEWSFLASH***********
Coast Guard captures Mexican Drug Lord off the coast of Baja--DEA pats itself saying that the cartel has been seriously damaged--Sorry whitewalls--but it will bounce back with a vengence--and this is what we get for the half a trillion dollars spent on the War on Drugs????
IS THERE ANY FUCKING BODY NOT DOING A SHOW ON THE DEAD 6 YR OLD????????
THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS CEASE TO EXIST FOR NEWS OUTLETS, APPARENTLY.
IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED*********
3400 Iraqis died in July of 06.......Never fear we brought them democracy!!!!!!!!
17 August 2006
NOTEBOOK 8/16/06
The ceasefire is still holding--it is fragile but holding. As long as the ceasefire is holding news media has to have a story--and it is TERRORISM! The media is parading every cracker expert on Islam and terror before thee cameras. My fav is ythe ones that tell me what drives the suicide bomber--some rich guy from the Rand Corp is an expert on what drives Muslims to die. DON'T THINK SO, TIM. The experts they present aare the ones that will reinforce the mindset of US viewers. Still have not seen an Arab expert yet!
You have to laugh at politicians, Bush, et al, they watch CNN then play off the news just to make the American people think they give a shit about them. The sad is the people fall for it.
Sen Allen-R-Va shows what the Repubs are all about; I am speaking of his racial slur towards an Indian-American in his audience. Of course, he did not mean them to be offensive, that is why he referred to the man as a MAKAK, a racial slur directed toward people of North African descent.
CNN's boy, Glen Beck, says,, "I am not crazy." That is true--he is really just ignorant and boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
MAY I SEE A SHOW OF HANDS.........HOW MANY OF YOU THINK LIFE IS ALL ABOUT VISA??????????????????
Israel is still fucking up Gaza--Why? Well Hamas kidnapped an Israeli soldier and Israel kidnapped several Palestinian parlementarians. I would say that all is pretty equal so now let's talk about the cessation of hostiliies and the killing of civiliamns. Speak up America, it is time to call for the ceasefire in all these conflicts. NOW!!!!!!!
OH GOD--EVEN MORE RREPORTS ON TERRORISM.. When is enough 'fear'? Or does the American people need reminding daily that the chance is out there? I call this the CNN FEAR FACTOR SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16 August 2006
THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS 8/15/06
28 HRS OF CEASEFIRE--STILL HOLDING WITH A FEW MINROR PROBS....
Big story--CNN reports that Homeland Security is wasting your money--LOLOLOLOLOLOL--No Kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!
THe hysteria is being spread like peanut butter--CNN is doing its part by airing reports on porous borders, easy targets, etc.
Israel is using cluster bombs made in the US--so to condemn Hezbollah for using rockets made in Iran (?) is hypocritical (go figure). It seems that Hezbollah was putting nails, metal, glass, etc inside the rockets which on impact did a lot of damage--the cluster bombs do their damge after impact and are usually on delay. So, again, which one is more diabolical than the other???????
SLOW DAY FOR ME--SORRY--HOPE TO DO BETTER
NOTEBOOK ENTRIES FOR 8/14/06
CEASEFIRE IN EFFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expert after expert is being parADED ACROSS THE MEDIA ANALYZING EVERY ASPECT OF THE CEASEFIRE, BUT SO there has bee NO Arab experts, as usual we are treated to what Israelis and the US say is what is happening.
OPINION************************
This whole shooting thing started over the kidnapping of 3 soldiers--Israel destroyed a country over 3 men--if that mindset holds should not the UN retaliate for the deaths of the observers? According to Israel any minor digression, and yes 3 people is a minor digression, warrants the death of many and destruction of everything. These soldiers were in uniform, the duty is hazardous at best--that uis why it is called hazardous duty and not a day at the beach.
Israel should be penalized, how? not my call! But some penalty for the destruction it wrought is in order.
I still would like to know why there were not more Arab analyst during the shooting? If I know some then should not CNN know them also??
I want to be fair so that my detractors will not have any ammo--the UN reported 8/11 thast the UN position in Naqoura was hit by a katushya and a peacekeeper was wounded. They also reoported that a UN demining team came under fire from Hezbollah--no one was hurt.
6 HOURS INTO CEASEFIRE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HOLDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUMSFEILD IS AN ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8/13/06
Early hrs, my time, CNN shows CNN Presents and Larry King back to back to ......6 fucking hrs of bullshit. I guess nothing is happening in ME right now that warrants live coverage.
OH BOY get ready for WTC, the movie and WTC, the disaster and WTC..........we are coming up on the 5th anniversary and the endless diatribes and constant reminders.
OBSERVATION**********************
Back in the day, the US presented its case against Iraq to the UN, then decided it did not need UN approval and invaded Iraq. But with Lebanon and Gaza US went thru painstaking negotiations because it must be a diplomatic effort. BULLSHIT! The US dragged its feet to give Israel all the time they needed to inflict damage on Lebanon and Gaza.
The UN is used by the US when it is serves their purp[ose not because it is the proper course of actioon.
SORRY Miami--Castro lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!Damn the luck now you Batista-esque pricks will ahve to wait a little longer to return and rape Cuba.
When N. Korea was the big news, CNN ran the documaentry smuggled out on the conditions inside the country. Then Lebanon and Gaza and they run docs about Hebollah and Bin laden
Basically, what they are doing is forming the opinion of the American viewer, so that it is the same as the govt mindset. Nice job!!!!!!!!!!
NEWSFLASH*******
Israeli parlimrent has ok'd the ceasefire to go into effect at 0800 hrs Lebanon time. We Will See.
The next question is, how much more damage will Israel try to inflict on Lebanon before the ceaasefire?
Some dipshit from the New Yorker was on CNN and talked about the ME, he said that Israel was doing possible to protect civilians--about 800 dead that works out to be about 24 a day--if that is protecting--I will take vanilla.
The US is pushing democracy, all over the world--but not everyone wants democracy. So, if the US forces democracy on the people like in Iraq, then where is the democracy?????????
