Well what can I say?

I knew long ago that the Anti Bush camp was just anti bush. It isn't really anti war criminality when it comes down to protecting gay bars and booze. Poets love those and get mighty indignant when they are told that society is better off without certain things like child pornography and the widespread gender stereotyping of women as naked darlings.

I could have told you that LONG ago but I didn't.

The time wasn't right. Now the time is right and this is what you call a "painful" time of change for Amerikkka.

You couldn't write a better plot if you tried....even Ezra Pound couldn't and there we are....waxing nostalgic over bankers and avoiding talk about peasants.

Man. What a day it would be if Pound could see it. One does wonder at all his references to the Arabs in the Cantos. One does wonder at that!

The FACT is, they labeled Pound insane so they (poets like Silliman, et.al.) could discuss him.

And that would include the widely known Yiddish poet Z. Who one commentator pronounced, "looks like an ant". And that commentator....hahaha cannot touch me anymore.

You only suffice to make yourself look even more quiet in the face of the REAL change in this world.

And that is one in which Islam will not be destroyed but spread because of people like me who dare to do it even though they lose everything they ever held dear.

You know what I think?

The only way to overthrow the bankers in the US is massive conversions to Islam...even if you don't believe in it or in God.

Imagine what that would look like and then...the wars would stop.

I've no doubt about that.

But unfortunately, most people are racially bigoted now and blind.

Most are blind to their own hatred of things non American and non White.

Jazz is just their anesthetic...the anesthetic of the guilt laden, SUV driving White Man.

U.S. blocks funds of two companies it links to Hezbollah

By Reuters

The United States on Thursday froze the assets of two Lebanese financial companies it said were the "unofficial treasury" of the militant group Hezbollah.

A Treasury Department statement said Bayt al-Mal served as a bank, creditor and investment arm for Hezbollah, and used the Yousser Company for Finance and Investment to secure loans and finance business deals for Hezbollah's companies.

"Bayt al-Mal and the Yousser Company function as Hezbollah's unofficial treasury, holding and investing its assets and serving as intermediaries between the terrorist group and mainstream banks," said Stuart Levey, the Treasury's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.






The statement said the Treasury had also blocked the assets of Husayn al-Shami, who it said was the head of Bayt al-Mal and a senior Hezbollah leader.

The Treasury's move prohibits U.S. transactions with the designated entities and freezes any assets they may have under U.S. jurisdiction.

Hezbollah, a militant religious political group, waged a 34-day war with Israel that ended August 14.



Huh? I think that is the other way around....Israel committed a 34 day long war crime. As is their usual.

Anybody care? Nope, most are too fat and too intoxicated to care.

Good for them. I hope this life pleases you and God forbid I might say I told you so but one day, I will.

I can hardly wait. We Shi'i "long" for the grave and boy, I cannot help it but it sure is looking good to me to get out of the company of so much ignorance and stagnation. Such lack of creativity.

For the time being though, I enjoy writing about purgatory. It is quite interesting to watch as I am waiting my final return to the Creator. Nothing else to do but buy antiques and enjoy the rain, wait for some snow and maybe, get a cat to keep me company for a while.

I bet my cats and my dog sure miss me. Sadly enough, that probably provokes more sympathy than anything else I'd say.

Sadly.

That truly means much to me Ed.

Something must be done but what?

Well, Pound got some of it right and some, he left to chance perhaps. Usura is a very big problem here and I'm offered credit wherever I go.

I cry when I go to Walmart and see the consumers consuming as a way of life, an artform, an activity, indeed, a creativity! I feel like I am in a barn of automatons. No one is laughing and certainly, I'm the only one openly crying near the box cutter sections. There were no box cutters ever found you see and that is in the Empire Builders link...a fine tome that Mr. Lanny Muss sent to me years and years ago when I was wrestling with being labeled an antisemitic person merely for having questioned the value of the Mogen David to us in the south of Lebanon versus the value of the Swastika. It was only a conversation about symbols and I got hit really hard, my life was threatened and then someone came to my home in Riyadh and said something 'out of the blue'. It was highly contextual to what was being deliberated online and known only to those types, one of them resident of Israel proper (the same one who threatened to disappear my children for me)....right in my home and saying something truly odd about his own disappearance and the need for my husband and I to 'know' exactly what was in his briefcase. When we asked to see what was in there, it was a couple of innocuous spreadsheets....nothing bad, nothing good in there...just some stupid sheets of paper.

I was being warned up close and personal. I left off for a while...the investigations of the Zionist regime AND George Bush. At that time, no one else was saying much about the man...everyone was Long Live the King! I said nope, not. This King has ties to the photo taken by the late William Cooper who, for some crazy reason, was shot in the chest up near Payson, AZ by a sherriff's deputy only three weeks after the notorious operation known as: 9/11.

Mr. Cooper you see is mentioned once and briefly in a book about JFK, a book 'debunking' the usual suspects yet not supplying new ones...he was one of those accused of being bunk. Well, Mr. Cooper possessed a certain photo and had already taken and put his wife in the orient because he knew he was a wanted man for taking years to analyse and debunk the IRS as an offshore operation. Well..they got to him. And they also got to another strange example of all of this, Dr. Rashid Khalifa who, it is suggested, is the first person to ever plug in the gematric content of the Quran and come up with some paralysing details about the universe, the solar system, the genetics systems, etc ad nauseum....all rooted in a very large prime number....19. Now that must be far fetched for you as a non believer but trust me, I'm scientifically oriented and in fact, it is why I chose to return to an Islamic state of being in the first place i.e. the notion of sperm in the Quran predates Louis Pasteur's debunking of spontaneous generation by wha? almost 700 solar years. It simply wasn't a seventh century capability to discuss the embryonic development of humanity. Nor evolution which is also part and parcel of the Quran Majora.

The Quran Majora however requires a generous amount of supplemental reading in terms of its legendary status i.e. the Thousand Masks of the Hero concepts ala Joseph Campbell, the much loved digressor of comparative mythologies and this-n-thats. Good old Joe C. If it weren't for that old codger's well meaning digressions, I'd never have even been onto any of it. Unless of course you consider that when I was seven I was enamoured of the Britannica versions of the Iliad and Odysseys of the ancients.

There is a codex there but it is not going to predict the future...all the codex states is Thabooran Katheeran.

Many beatings and for all parties. Lots of whalloping and it appears quite dismal to me now in one way, and not in another. I know where I am heading at least and it gives me a certain amount of fortitude and confidence in the face of so much horror.

And potential horror. Everyone meeting down in Cuba I see.

To be a fly on those walls.

Or an insect dragging her miserable old reproductive and respiratory organs to her own death.

But yes....things Ed are mighty uncomfortable and the perceptions I have are probably not the perceptions of the many right now. They ache and bother. My children are also deeply affected...they aren't ready for a test of this proportion as they haven't mastered the book that "comforts". Geez, it took me over twenty years to even get to the point of reading it beyond the level of: fire and brimstone. That is the hardest level to surpass in the Quran because society has made most of those types of things not only acceptable but, desirable. Like open marriages, gay sex, generalized debauchery and usura.

Even though you aren't a believer, you at least have faith in someone who does and that means alot.

Salaam wa alaikum to you.

And today on Cspan, a Republican party member, an italiano, was discussing party unity aha! And all about the Clintons who were so so supportive in the days when Jay Leno was inviting the Marines to the shop for a freebie pre-USO show.

The Clinton spreadsheet is as long as the Bush spreadsheet...Vincent Foster being one of my pet peeves.

They (the shadowy figures who arrived too early for the post mortem) decided to remove the soft palate from ole Foster's neck.

That's Clinton for you! Not any better and perhaps, far worse as he is more convincing and conniving and...well....he made women woozy inside (and perhaps some men too).

Clinton, if you will remember, signed off on the Anti Terrorism bill which predates the Patriot by more than four years! THAT is when the habeus corpus flew the coop..not under Bush and geez...they are all in cahoots.

All. I do think however that unity would have limited the mess in Iraq...and obviously, it was not the US intention of limiting anything at all! And now....they are really in a mess to stay or go because, well...they didn't plan on Olmert pulling such an Olmert.

He bombed both his routes to invasion and escape and then.....it was obvious that the bombings in Lebanon were not only willy nilly but PLANNED for maximum pain when they hit C'anaa.

They even leveled Sa'adeen! Now, that little town has a local name:

The Stupid Town.

Yes indeed. Not a brain in sight in that town. Their means of livellihood is: placing a child or a chicken in the road and hoping a passer-by hits it and then they can get the injury/blood money or at least, enough to buy some bread. Olmert leveled Sa'adaeen! Wha?

Not a hezbollah lair at all and in the wide open. Not a place there one could hide anything except maybe an old washing machine. Desperately poor.

Israel is trying to make the south uninhabitable so later on (Israeli Zionism is sooooo very patient you see)they can just move in easily. They hoped to discredit a massive movement in Lebanon led by Nasrallah who consistently supports National Dialogue. All parties and Hezbollah long ago abandoned a formal Islamic setup...they didn't need it! Everyone loves them there and those that don't...are well known genocidalists and no one takes them seriously. Those genocidalists like Jumblatt however managed to waylay and delay and generally speaking, put a stick in the bicycle spokes of the Lebanese and their monumental progress accompanied by the rebuilding of the vast historical downtown district.

And of course, Lebanon has oil. The land of mild and honey and fuel! There it is, out with the sea wrecks....can you see it? The consultants perhaps having already booked their passage there.

Man oh man. It is terrible and the next decade in Lebanon is going to be a real hay ride. Lebanon now is not for people like me...weak and upsetable. It is for the real Lebanese.

I'll only be able to visit. For now. And one day, I still hope to die there....in my home facing the Mediterranean sea and the beautiful castle of Salladin.

Hahaha, so, this thing in the Middle East started with Bush?

Interesting. Now, we can also blame Bush for Israel's acts.

That means that you must believe that the US and Israel are close partners.

The good thing to come out of all of this is that points like that are much easier to make. It used to be that when you'd say, "Israel is the 51st state" you'd be labeled an antisemite.

Be careful however, who you address with this new notion of yours as they are working on a document that would declare Anti Zionism the same as Anti Semitism.

And love....has nothing to do with it. Get rid of oppression and the "love" will follow and until then, yer oughtta luck. Peace cannot happen without resolution and resolution looks like exposing the Israeli war criminals for what they are.

I didn't plan it that way, apparently Allah did.

Every time a muslim prays, they pray for the unity of Islam. Not the unity of the disbelievers. They do not deserve our prayers nor will they ever get one from me.

Carmenisacat said...

Okay, if you say so.

Personally though, if you don't mind me interjecting here, I believe this is Allah's plan, not mine and certainly not the plan of the governments.

You see, all government tends to be "evil" i.e. uniformly a means to an end for human greed.

That is probably why the Imams in Iran are not allowed to hold office. And, it is probably why the first article of the Iranian constitution states that when the Mahdi arrives, with Isa (SAW) of course, all constitutions will be null and void.

Imagine a country crazy enough to do a thing like that! And then, include articles regarding the recount of ballots in the same document.

Nuts I tell you.




Not.

Thanks though for taking some of the blame off of Lilac. She was beginning to think she fired the first shot at Israel and started the war. You know how it is with us crazy fundies, we can barely poor piss out of a boot even when the instructions are written on the heel.

Cheers!
