What's Wrong With This Picture

I Thought The Nazis Went Away

This is a barracks on a Naval base outside San Diego. Why, it looks like a swastika. Did the Navy know that when they built it? Does an architect know what his building looks like right side up? I think so. We weren't supposed to see it, but someone using Google satellite found it. Good for them.

What does it mean? I thought the Nazis went away. San Diego isn't Argentina. Did some of the Nazis come here after the war? I guess they did. That's too close to the bone if you ask me. Why did we let them in? Were American corporations more fascist than we could even imagine? It seems that way. Is the Bush family involved in it? You bet they are. Hey, didn't Hitler write a book called The New World Order? And, Bush Daddy said there was going to be a New World Order. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Bush Junior was in a secret club called Skull and Bones. Why is their club house full of Nazi paraphernalia? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Was the last election Nazi vs. Nazi? That's not much of a choice. Why are there fucking Nazis all around us, and we don't know it? Questions, questions.

Beseech To Impeach

Now that the lid is boiling off the pot for war with Iran, the will to impeach Bush is reaching epic proportions. And yet, no one in Congress or the Senate is making a serious move to throw the bastard out. How can this be? Once the war has started, there won't be any going back.

For starters, our legislators seem to be operating under duress. None of them want to go down in flames in a sex scandal or, even worse, in a plane crash. Ask any of them what they know about Sen. Paul Wellstone's demise, or Sen. John Tower, or Rep. Sonny Bono, etc, etc, and they will tell you that they know their limits. They're all show horses with no ability whatsoever to topple the current regime. Most are compromised, and those that aren't are simply marginalized. If this sounds a little too far-fetched to you, then I suggest you turn off CNN and start doing a little research. Yes, they ARE playing for all the marbles, and yes, people DO get killed for not playing along. We have no trouble acknowledging, and expecting that brand of politics from any other country on earth, so, why not for this one? It's downright pathological, I tell you.

Yesterday, I watched in amazement as thousands of people lined up downtown to cheer for, and possibly meet, President-To-Be Hillary Clinton. I was left to wonder, is the zombie drug in the water? Is it airborne? What do these people expect from her? A Rothschild once said that if you assume a position of power, then people will hand that power over to you. Is it that Hillary is always the most arrogant person in the room?

As for having Bush impeached, it may just be more legally problematic than anyone can know. Too bad so many Republicans still don't have a proper rationale for wanting it to happen. Maybe then, we would have a chance.

Apocalypse Soon

If you were to go back in time to the 70's, or even the 80's, and tell folks how things are coming along in America in 2007, their reactions would be interesting. Some would start planning to be gone long before now. Others might consider arming themselves. Heavily. But, if you couldn't prove it, then most would probably not believe you. "Cops are running around shocking women, children, and elderly people with phasers like In Star Trek? No way." A drunken president with the I.Q. of potted plant who twice openly stole the election has invaded Iraq, and is now sizing up Iran? I don't think so." China owns all the treasuries and dollars? How could that be?" And, of course, "Oh, there's no way that we would tolerate such madness." The young people would rise up and revolt like they did in the 60's."

I would have had no such problem believing what was to come. Having partially grown up in the Washington, D.C. area, I learned to expect the worst. Being made to witness President John F. Kennedy's funeral in Arlington on a ripping cold day at such a tender age was a bitter pill to swallow. I knew the bad guys had won, and there was no going back. I also knew from seeing Abbie Hoffman, Bob Marley, Frank Zappa and John Lennon and others cut down in their prime that there would be no elder statesmen in these times that speak for me. There are voices in the wilderness, and that is all. Those in the limelight had better be part of the machine, or be dead.

Sometime between now and when I run off to a remote cabin and live on diet pills and Mountain Dew, I hope to knock a few heads back on the harsh reality of our present situation. It's looking more and more like we're goose-stepping in the footprints of certain forefathers that came from the Fatherland. Nowadays, we call it Homeland, but it makes no matter. What's important is to know what the smart people did the first time around. Granted, it was easier for them when escape was just a short train ride to Switzerland, or Morocco, or wherever. And, it's getting to be more and more difficult for us to get around. So, it may be that we'll either have to stand and fight, or be good little monkeys and take whatever they dish out. Someone should start organizing in those Walmart parking lots. They sell megaphones, don't they? I know what they won't be selling pretty soon. Good luck, patriots.

Walk, Don't Run

Northern Rock, Britain's eighth-largest bank, is experiencing some technical difficulties. It seems that everyone is lining up to get their money out. That means the bank will be insolvent before half of their customers get anything more than a complementary ballpoint pen. On Friday, the bank's computer system collapsed under the weight of all the online customers hurriedly making withdrawals. Somewhere, an empty bottle hit the floor.

The majority of Northern Wreck's investments were in mortgages, so it's trouble in paradise for those folks. It's now being said that the beleaguered bank will be bought out by the other bigs, and the grapes of wrath are looking pretty ripe. Today, we see that Alliance & Leicester, another mortgage bank, is similarly on the skids. They plunged 47% in the last twenty minutes of trading. A box of hammers couldn't fall any faster than that. Maybe there's a reason why Jesus overturned the money-lending tables after all.

What's it all mean? Alan Greenspan said today that the euro could replace the dollar as the reserve currency of choice. I guess that would spell the end for the pound as well. Those who laughed years ago at the suggestion of a New World Order are no longer laughing. The smoke and fire is there for all to see, and a new era is upon us. When the Pharaoh comes, try to look busy.
