"There is no way the United States or Israel will tolerate resistance in the Arab World." -Norm Finkelstein

In the past two weeks not only has Tunisia thrown off its Saudi Arabian/US backed dictator but Lebanon has thrown out the meddlesom foreign interventionist Saad Hariri who was literally willing to sell the soul of his country to US/Israeli interests. And now Egypt and what happens in Egypt can be said to happen throughout the Arab world. This has long been forecasted by several political scholars i.e. that the oppressive leaders of all these countries would fall one after the other. The most important of those forecasters who is known to never lie is Sayed Hassan Nasrallah.



The coming break-up of Israel per Norman Finkelstein who discusses the flagrant disregard for international law with this slob known as Daniel Pollak who, arguably would fit in quite well with Hitler, INC when he argues that Israel has to starve people in order to er...uh, protect the Occupiers (known as "Israelis") from er...uh...the distress of their illegal occupation of the er...uh..."Promised Land". A land deed that they just insist er, uh is based on.....the Bible or....something like that. (The Balfour):

Kodachrome Era Ends, Another Begins

Rome (Egypt) is burning you know....the Western media finally taking a slight interest in probably the biggest thing since sliced cheese and the Shia takeover of Iran in the 1970s. It is comforting to know that they still believe that if they don't see them that they can't see us...or something like that anyway.

All the same, it makes me think of Kodachrome and Paul Simon for some reason and while out on a stroll the other day (hour long daily three mile stroll), I ran into the photographer Ted White who explained to me the demise of the world's best film and the fact that it is no longer in commission as of December 31, 2010.

Dwayne's apparently was the last place on EARTH that would develop our Kodachrome 25 (slow but deliciously red) and 64 (more compatible with existing light) film. And durn it if I don't have one roll of exposed 25 still waiting to be developed....shoot.

Go to their site and you can order a nice yellow t-shirt commemorating the Kodachrome age although I doubt they are selling a Mubarak t-shirt also....

Alas. What next, the plague?

In Tucson yesterday.....parking lots empty, people whispering and just plain shocked. It's the Beirut syndrome you know....when assassinations become as ordinary as sunshine. Sadly enough.

7.1.11

Chicken Little shot in the back by unknown assailant, authorities looking for Mr. Peanut

Fish in Maryland, Crabs in the UK, Doves in Italy and then there's the incidents in Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. What next, the plague?

Oh, nope.....it's Bat Fungus as well which is far more serious than the routine deaths of small pockets of birds and crabs due to a variety of natural and unnatural (fireworks) causes:

The bat fungus is truly sad and a real epidemic. It also has a startling potential impact on food production throughout the world as bats are as important as bees as pollinators of fruit trees and other human crops.
