IRAQI SOVEREIGNTY MY ASS

IRAQI SOVEREIGNTY MY ASS
FREEDOM CANNOT BE GIVEN. IT MUST BE TAKEN.
Gee, everyone's all happy that the Almighty USA has decided to hand back sovereignty to Iraq. What a bunch of bullshit. I'll believe it when I see it. And what's up with the pussy Iraqis that stand for being "handed back their country?" There must be a highly compliant, pussy indigenous elite that would take it up the ass any which way the USA wanted.

The USA still owns Iraq. Do not believe otherwise. Do not let your United
Statian conscience be cleared by a simple announcement propagated by the Bush administration and advertised by the New York Times. Don't feel relieved - you are still responsible, you citizen of the USA. Do not
applaud the civil behaviors of a compassionate Bush. There have been no such behaviors. Do not think the war is over and the occupation is
done. They are not. There cannot be rejoicing for an ostensive execution of your liberal desires by G Dubya.

The new Iraqi government was hand-picked by the USA - no doubt a group of ass-licking indigenous elite puppets with G Dubya's hand so far up its Iraqi
ass that Jim Henson's turning over in his grave with envy. The troops of the USA are still there, aren't they?

And the USA is still buyin' up all that crude.

Freedom cannot be given. It must be taken. To have someone give you sovereignty is to permit them to completely rule you and enslave you, on
their terms, on the terms of the oppressor.

Do not believe the lies. Iraq is no sovereign nation.

MANDATORY AIDS TESTING

MANDATORY AIDS TESTING

It's like watching an episode of the Twilght Zone. It's a psychological horror story of the most intense disturbance from the inside, out. The mass hysteria (1) required to produce and sustain the collective phenomena known as AIDS are working like clockwork. The mechanisms and structures in place that maintain the hysteria have been carefully architected by the modern mind and its pursuits of order via Christianity's successor, scientific rationalism and the medicalization of the world. Only recently has postmodern insight permitted the self-reflexivity necessary to excavate the structures of our belief systems and expose them for the fabrications of haphazard meanings that they are, yet the tethers of modernity still manage to limit the movement necessary for true critical analysis.

ADVERTISING AND NEED

The callow triumph of advertising has been to create myths of need. Reconfiguring modes of thinking in such ways that what was once previously unthought becomes thought, creating new needs.

We do not need anything that we do not know that we need. There are no exceptions to this rule.

When a salesman or advertisements informs you that you need something, they are wrong. The truth is that we don't really NEED ANYTHING besides food, water, and shelter, but that simplicity has been trumped by myths of consumption and progress, so forget about that. (to be continued)
