CHRIS HITCHENS & CHRIS HEDGES: NO DEBATING HERE

FAMOUS ATHEIST AND NOTABLE CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST FIND NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY

      Christopher Hitchens had said that Christians who do not argue for a bloody and brutal end to the human race, an Armageddon, a war that ends all wars, a melt-down of planet earth….are apologists hiding the essence of the Christian faith like burned a layer of amber syrup hiding burned pancakes.
     Bertrand Russell St. John of Edinburgh, Scotland, speaking before the Society for the Deeper Understanding of Disparate Ideologies said "I am a semi-secular Christian and I don’t focus on the end.  I believe that all things, except perhaps the highest of human values which I have chosen to call ‘love’ or ‘grace’ or ‘heaven’ or ‘eternity’ will end, but I don't dwell on that.    Christopher Hitchens didn't like the focus on the end-times and I don't blame him, but even Chris Hitchens came to an end.  What's important is that he had a deep and abiding appreciation of culture and learning which included, thank God Almighty,  fine whiskey, an occasional cigar and days without bathing if a stories’ telling required such.  All in all, however, he and his generally amicable Christian apologist friend and fellow debater, Christopher Hedges, were on the same side....in their wishing that the end would come to the world's criminal classes or at least that they would be like reptiles and mad dogs, boarded in zoos or kennels.  On this they were in total agreement and nearly prophetic at indentifying those who should be so detained which is not necessarily those who now are!" said St. John.  "But of course there was 911 and after that Christopher Hitchens lost his objectivity and went.....well.....nutty."

      Bertrand Russell St. John, whose mother appreciated Bertrand Russell and whose father was a Scottish clergyman,  shares with the celebrated atheist Hitchens'disdain for the commandeering of the Christian message of a “God who so love the world that he gave his only son,” by those who  he claims "would hastily speed its destruction by the sale of weapons of individual or mass destruction."
    "Both Hitchens and Hedges believe that the current criminal class of war profiteers hide behind a thin veil of misguided and fraudulent chivalry mixed with a bogus religiosity," said St. John.   "Hitchens, like Christopher Hedges, the Christian author and  an apologist for greater human dignity and love, ironically, have long shared a common vision that is rooted in a similar understanding of the nature and destiny of humanity," said St. John.  "I can find that Jesus said 'I came not to bring peace, but a sword," but that is not justification for stockpiling thermo nuclear warheads or profitting from building laser guided missiles that end up in some poor smuck's bowl of gruel," said St. John.

America Supersized, Hitchen's apologism for
George Walker Bush. (click photo for video)
     "Chris Hitchens got some things right and some things very wrong.....like his support of GWB's invasion of Iraq on cooked intelligence.  If Hitchens thought that was such a good idea then why didn't he go enlist instead of going to Texas and doing that god-awful....or in Hitchen's case....godless-awful expose' called Texas: America Supersized.  Can you believe that Hitchens was an apologist for Bush?  If ever there was a war profittering Connecticutt Yankee, bimbo misguided apocalypticist  who claims to be a cowboy like Ghandi or Nelson Mandella according to the nutcake, Kinky Friedman, Bush was!  Hitchens' documentary was one hell of an apologistic gig for Bush and the spear point of the Military Industrialist Complex, Texas.  I guess he was well paid for it!" said St. John.

Tough Break Again For Kevin Ware

Kevin Ware’s Leg Break Loses Gruesome Basketball Photo Contest
by Wilson Dribbles CPW News Services
 
     Louisville’s basketball player Kevin Ware’s broken right leg sent team mates to their knees and spectators writhing.    Ware’s broken leg, reminiscent of professional football quarterback Joe Theisman’s severe leg break, will not win the 2013 Gruesome Basketball Photo Award.

     “Nope, not even close,” said Darvin Davies of  the Great Grotesque Basketball Sports Photo Foundation in Naismith, Indiana.  “I’m not saying that Kevin’s broken leg isn’t grotesque in a kind of mild manored way, but it doesn’t compare to the two basketball players at the site of a suicide bombing during a scratch game in Baghdad in February,” said Davies.
Davies said the Ware’s break was nearly 5 points beneath the two leading contenders for this year’s $10,000 photo prize.

ROBERT WORTH: DRONE UPDATE

Anti-Al Qaeda Cleric in Yemen and Policeman Hit By Drone Strike
East Memphis Preacher Rages Against The Machines
by Winnie DePugh Smith CPW News Services


Scott Shane (l) on Charlie Rose's Bloomberg TV program
 relating fellow NY Times'reporter Robert Worth's (r) coverage
of a U.S. "droning" of an anti-Al
Qaeda cleric and policeman.
 
      To be “Droned” is to be exterminated like a bug by an unmanned U.S military airplane when you are least expecting it.  If you are talking to members of Al Qaeda expect it at any time.  Talking to Al Qaeda operatives is clearly hazardous to anyone’s health as Robert Worth has reported for the NY Times.   Worth discovered that a U.S. drone pilot, perhaps from a Nevada office building near the Las Vegas strip,  targeted three Al Qaeda members who had asked for an audience with a Yemeni cleric who had just delivered an anti-Al Qaeda sermon.  Reportedly, the three Al Qaeda members were trying to convince the critical cleric of the value of their terrorist network.  Fearing that if he met with the three men alone he might be in danger the cleric asked a police officer to accompany him.  After the meeting members of the police officer’s family said “We wish he had no religious affiliations or that he had developed a sudden case of diarrhea and come home.”
     Sometime during the conversation the meeting was abruptly ended by the drone strike as body parts flew in a 360 degree direction.

     An American cleric has been infuriated by this event.  “Suppose Franklin Graham or his father, Billy, was meeting with KKK members from Selma, Alabama trying to convince them that the Klan has no future in the civilized world and suddenly Franklin or Billy along with Buford and Clem Higgins and their cousin Festus Pickens are sprayed into tuna chum?” asked Rev. Harold D. Neughes  of the Fourth Baptist Church of East Memphis, Tennessee.  I think that Americans would be up in arms….well, up to their elbows in at least eight arms,” said  Rev. Neughes.

    The family of Simon Megs, a U.S. military drone pilot who, well on his way to earning a Congressional Medal of Honor (Drone edition), but who was killed in an incident still under investigation, said that they  feel horrible for the grieving families and fully empathize with the families of the Yemini cleric and policeman.  Megs had been a member of a crack U.S. drone team that sought to allay American's fears that their government's drones would be turned on U.S. citizens.

ABU GHRAIB AND TRIGGERING THE LUCIFER EFFECT

Abu Ghraib, Yale’s Elites, The Stanford Research Institute and the Stanford Prison Experiment

by Winsip Custer CPW News Services


      "Heck, don't forget San Francisco's connections to the Franklin Savings case and that the key personalities in that story passed right through this city and don't forget the fact that Hunter S. Thompson has been named by Paul Bonacci and Rusty Nelson in John De Camp's Franklin Cover Up and that it was in San Francisco that Thompson linked up with the motorcycle club that kick-started his writing career....the Hell's Angels," said a San Francisco vintage book store employee, Damian Crowley Wicha, who goes by the nickname "Kool Guano".
     It has been widely questioned whether given his long-time residence on Lombard Street overlooking San Francisco’s Presidio where U.S. Army Colonel Michael Aquino was accused of overseeing what has become known as the Presidio Child Abuse Scandal, whether Philip Zimbardo, the Stanford professor who conducted the Stanford Prison Experiment was a member of Aquino’s cult or of another of San Francisco’s dark traditions.....Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan.... or perhaps even the Bohemian Grove’s assembly of “cremators of care" or at least some within their ranks shuffling money for the Iran-Contra network.
     While boys were killing and dying in Vietnam in August, 1971, Dr. Zimbardo was simulating in the basement of a Stanford classroom building a gulag that was quickly deteriorating into a type of Andersonville Prison or Abu Ghraib.  A few hours down the coast in San Diego another favored son, Jim Morrison, was singing "Light My Fire" while protesting the fire that his father, the U.S. Navy Admiral in charge of the Gulf of Tonkin affair, had blow torched into the Vietnam conflict," said Guano.



Anton LaVey (l, bald), mentor to the Presido's Col. Michael Aquino
and Marilyn Manson.  Manson and Johnny Depp (r).  Depp
has taken a strong interest in convicted ritual child
murderers the "West Memphis 3".
     Down Lombard Street to the west was the U.S. Army base, the Presidio.  Stationed there was a psychological warfare expert and LaVey protege', Michael Aquino, who had been a member of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan, a dark arts religion in the vein of Aleister Crowley’s Templi Ordo Orientis cult.  Aquino had decided that the task of creating increasingly efficient soldiers and weapons was the devil's work below. When it was widely reported that the Presidio child care center was the hub of a child abuse ring, the focus turned in 1988 to Aquino.   Aquino would also be named as a player in what became known as the 1989 Franklin Cover up, a book written by Nebraska Congressman and attorney, John De Camp, an aide to CIA Director William Colby.  Like Boy's Town's founder, Father Joseph Edward Flannigan, De Camp was Jesuit-trained and at one time on his way to becoming a Jesuit priest.   According to De Camp, Paul Bonacci, an orphan from Boys Town in Omaha was  delivered by a high ranking Republican politician named Lawrence King, a pedophile, who brokered young boys to a pedophile ring of powerful politicians and killers.  Lawrence King would sing the national anthem at the 1988 Republican National Convention at which Penn State coach, Joe Paterno, delivered a speech promoting George Herbert Walker Bush.   A documentary about the Franklin Cover-up titled Conspiracy of Silence produced in England by Yorkshire Television, connected as it was to Jimmy Savile, an alleged well-connected British pedophile, was to be aired in the U.S. on The Discovery Channel, when it was suddenly withdrawn from the schedule.

     Bonacci claimed Col. Michael Aquino was also used as a courier by members of the Bohemian Grove, the exclusive retreat about an hour north of San Francisco where Bonacci witnessed the murder of a young boy in a bizarre ritual reportedly filmed by novelist, screenwriter and Washington "gonzo journalist" Hunter S. Thompson.
     Graduating summa cum laude from Brooklyn College with a triple major in psychology, sociology and anthropology, Philip Zimbardo was born to Sicilian immigrant parents on March 23, 1933 in New York City.  In 1955 he completed his Master’s degree from Yale followed by his PhD from the same university in 1959.  Yale’s power elites have, according to Robin Winks, the Sterling Professor of History and author of Cloak and Gown: Scholars In The Secret War, 1939-1961, been the long established bastion for preparation of members of the U.S. intelligence community.  Yale’s corresponding influence through the 1833 Skull & Bones secret fraternity from which, as Robert DeNiro’s film The Good Shepherd has shown, has evolved an interest in mind science and the mental motivations that effect human behavior.  The work of Lauretta Bender who for over a year gave LSD to children at New York's Bellevue Hospital in order to study its effects was part of the CIA's MK-Ultra program with its ties to the U.S military and Stanford Research Institute.  Bender would take the work of Max Wertheimer and create the Bender-Gestalt personality test.
     “Philip Zimbardo has got to know about these connections. You do not become a professor emeritus at Stanford without knowing about the Stanford Research Institute.  Myron du Bain, twice President of the Stanford Research Institute and, some say, the subject of Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare At Goats, was responsible in large measure for Stanford’s centrality in the mind science research that applied directly to the U.S.’s secret organizations and clandestine initiatives such as MK-Ultra.  There was nothing comic in this episode in U.S. blundering and George Clooney, Beau Bridges and Hollywood have done a horrible disservice to America in presenting this piece of propaganda that did not cover the darker practices of SRI and MK-Ultra.  The linkages between the Yale establishment supported as it has historically been by the New England 'China Traders', a synonym for opium smuggling, and the West Coast institutions established by the railroad barons, an extension of the China Traders' ambitions, are as clear as a Union Pacific engine pulling a series of coupled Pullman cars.  It was MK-Ultra funding that supported the work of research programs like Myron du Bain's at Stanford University, named as it was for railroad baron, Leland Stanford.  Myron du Bain's insurance company had used, like the Teamster's Pension Fund, America's Firemen's pension systems to create one of the country's largest insurance companies just as Cornelius Vander Starr had created AIG insuring the China Trade with government subsidized premiums.  San Francisco was their Western hub.  Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake banks moved into the area just as Bank of America has done in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Sandy in New York to gain market position and advantage.  The Bank of Italy was among them.   Myron du Bain has more recently been associated with the owner of the Venice, Florida flying school, Wally Hilliard, whose school trained  the leading 911 hijacker, Mohammed Atta.  According to former NBC reporter, Daniel Hopsicker in his book, Welcome To Terrorland, it was at Hilliard's Huffman Flying School that Atta and one other hijacker prepared for the assault on the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001," said Kool Guano.
     Named for Saint Francis of Assisi, San Francisco found early Christian missionaries supported or usurped, depending on one's worldview, by the arrival of the Jesuits who funded in 1851, the height of the gold rush and development of the China Trade, a Jesuit college in nearby Santa Clara.  Santa Clara College, now Santa Clara University, was named for Saint Francis' friend Saint Clare of Assisi and now houses the papers of Amadeo Pietro Giannini's family whose significance will be shown.  Leon Panetta, Director of the CIA who was to be replaced by General David Petraeus as well as Director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, are graduates of Santa Clara University.  Giannini, Bank of America's and TransAmerica's founder, would marry a member of the Genovese family.

     Giannini would attend a business school created in 1863 in Stockton, California a San Francisco suburb.  This put him in the same town that would later be the development site of that battlefield armament transported by the U.S. Navy to foreign wars, the battle tank.  With the 1906 San Francisco earthquake this same invention, steerable tank tracks, would be needed to move the dislocated earth.  A.P. Giannini's banking acumen would be forever tied to the rising U.S. Military Industrialist Complex about which Dwight D. Eisenhower would one day warn.

President of The
Stanford Research
Institute.
     “One must remember,” said reporter Peter Pezonus, “that it was the Office of U.S. Naval Research that funded Zimbardo’s 'Stanford Prison Experiment'.  No other branch of the U.S. military has such deep ties to the U.S. intelligence community than does the U.S. Navy.  The founder of The Church of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was not only a member of Naval Intelligence, but also a close friend of Aleister Crowley, whose home in Sicily was home to such dehumanizing debauchery that he was expelled by Benito Mussolini.  The Navy is tied like no other branch of the U.S. military to the CIA and to Yale which explains the inordinate number of Navy and Marine officers with high security clearances and their interest in a soldier's ability to carry out evil acts for the sake of the country's misguided power elites when necessary and the subject of many novels about the development of a 'Manchurian Candidate', deemed by many to be the goal of the mind-science research.  As a U.S. Naval aviator, George Herbert Walker Bush was also a Director of the CIA.  The Navy’s connections to clandestine services is part and parcel to the development of the China Trade which the Navy protected from it beginnings in the 1830's when Caleb Cushing, a New England opium trader negotiated the post-British trade agreements between the U.S. and China.  General Smedley Darlington Butler in his book War is A Racket, blew the whistle on the Marine’s connections to what he called the National City Bank Boys, Brown Brothers Harriman, Brown and Root....of which Elihu Root, also Yale skull & Bones, was the chief progenitor, but with older ties to Baltimore's Alexander Brown, the strongest Roman Catholic U.S. city besides Boston.   It was in Baltimore that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and Samuel F.B. Morse, the cousin of Texas hero James Walker Fannin, would come together. Their Westward ambitions would follow a straight line....like the tapping out of Morse code on a telegraph line from Baltimore to Washington's Capital Rotunda.  From Boston and Baltimore, home of the burgeoning Irish Catholic population and New York's Italian Catholic clans that increasingly intimated the WASP Boston Brahmin China Traders like Caleb Cushing, would come the manpower not only to help win the Civil War, but to complete Leland Stanford's Transcontinental Railroad.   That route followed along a mountain route that surpassed the flatter Southern route that was thwarted by the War and Reconstruction....a Civil War based less on abolition of slavery than securing the Southerner's flatter rail route to San Diego and the Middle Eastern opium beyond.   The central rail route through the Rockies was made possible by the invention of Alfred Nobel's Dynamite in 1866/7.   Robert Timberg’s book The Nightingale’s Song, chronicles the connections of the U.S. Naval Academy to the evolution of the Navy’s prominence in the U.S. intelligence community with his coverage of John McCain, Oliver North, Bud McFarlane, Jim Webb and John Poindexter,” said Pezonus noting that Timberg did not include Admiral Bobby Inman, Admiral Michael Hayden or Admiral William McRaven.  Protection of the China Trader's business was essentially in the hands of the U.S. Navy and the first Navy Seal, William Cushing, had married into the Boston Brahman class that Caleb Cushing, New England's great China trader and first major U.S. envoy to China, had helped create.
     "When Phillip Zimbardo invited Deborah Layton, daughter of Laurence Layton, head of the U.S. military's chemical warfare initiatives, whose brother, Larry, was the only person imprisoned for his part in the Jonestown tragedy in Guyana in 1978, I believe that we were seeing a continuation of USN influence.  A mistress of Jim Jones, Jones had ascended to the head of the San Francisco Housing Authority from which came many of the residents of Jonestown.  It has been asserted by Congressman Leo Ryan's Congressional aide, Jeffrey Holsinger, that Jonestown was a mind control experiment from the get-go.  Remembering that Tuskegee Experiment was not concluded until the 70's and that in the 50's St. Louis' Pruit-Igoe housing project was the site of an undisclosed atomic radiation study that put the entire city of St. Louis at risk....Pruit-Igoe....built by the same architect who built the World Trade Center and who as the Saudi Royal family's leading architect working alongside the engineering firm of the Bin Ladens....this is quite troubling," said Pezonus.   Pezonus was also aware that in 1999 the brother of Deborah and Larry Layton, Thomas Layton, had written for the Stanford University Press the book Voyage of the Frolic: New England Merchants and the Opium Trade.  
     “John Poindexter’s and  Oliver North’s connections to Iran-Contra and that program's dependence on the sale of street drugs in California can be seen in Gary Webb's book Dark Alliance as well as in the unfolding life of Oliver North's secretary who married the agent for The Door's lead singer, Jim Morrison.  Fawn Hall's husband and Morrison's agent, Danny Sugerman, author of No One Gets Out of Here Alive, took Fawn to Indo-China where she got hooked on opium and, of course, Jim Morrison OD'd on drugs on the Isle of White, as did Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, an island long connected with British witchery and Crowley's Templi Ordo Orientis followers.  Morrison's father, as said earlier, was the U.S. Navy Admiral who was in charge of the Gulf of Tonkin Affair that jump started the Vietnam War.  Most of the Navy's Pacific fleet was repaired and equipped in San Francisco.”


Dr. Philip Zimbardo, in front of San Francisco's
TransAmerica Tower.  As a
Stanford University Professor
Emeritus, Zimbardo conducted the Stanford Prison Experiment.
Zimbardo was an expert witness in the Abu Ghraib trials
and the self-professed "Superintendent of the Stanford Prison".

     Pezonus believes that the fact that a promising young mind scientist like Philip Zimbardo would be drawn into this type of research is understandable.  “The government gives you a big fat check to run your research and it goes to your head,” said Pezonus.  “If Zimbardo was hooked on either the teachings of Aleister Crowley, Anton LaVey or Michael Aquino, or dark elements within the Jesuit tradition which John De Camp had exposed in Omaha, he or someone very close to him would have to say so, but Zimbardo's work focused on the unleashing of evil, not primarily on the pursuit of philanthropic impulses.   Zimbardo normalizes evil tendencies, but says that heroic opposition to evil is also an option.  Zimbardo will forever be linked to exploration in the dungeons of the mind and in the dark side of the human will and to this day he is not averse to raising the spectre of evil as his appearance in the National Geographic film Science of Evil, has clearly shown. 
     In subsequent presentations Zimbardo has used a classic Gestalt tactic of employing strong imagery to direct the mind toward a desired end.  While telling his audience that they are capable of infinite good and infinite evil, the imagery Zimbardo uses focuses the onlooker on the desired result rather than the stated possibilities.  "Binder's Gestalt studies would have made Joseph Goebbels excited about new possibilities of mind control in the Third Reich. In as much as Stanford's Hoover Institute is where the master mind of Abu Ghraib, Donald Rumsfeld, has been a member and given that the Hoover Institute owns the personal diary of Joseph Goebbels, it is not at all a stretch that the truth is, once again, being covered with a swarm of lies," said Pezonus who recommended reading  former Hoover Institute member Anthony Sutton's book, America's Secret Establishment.  "Donald Rumsfeld owned, according the Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, the Abu Ghraib of America during the 19th Century, Misery Plantation, where Frederick Douglass the abolitionist orator was 'rentioned' before being returned to slavery in the South.  Thomas Layton's 1999 book notes that the opium cutter Frolic that sank north of San Francisco in 1850 was laid in the Baltimore, Maryland shipyard where Frederick Douglass, then named 'Fred Bailey' worked laying the hulls of opium clippers.

While telling his audience that they are capable of infinite good and evil
the imagery uses a classic Gestalt tactic of providing visual verification
of the desired rather than the possible outcomes.

    "That Zimbardo wanted to be filmed in front of San Francisco's TransAmerica Tower is also significant in as much as its founder also created Bank of America,  Amadeo Pietro Giannini, the father of the Vatican related Bank of Italy, about which Sherman Skolnick wrote: 'Bank of America is supposedly owned principally by numerous of their small account holders. A fairy tale supreme. By the 1970s, Bank of America, the holding company, was owned principally by the Vatican and the Jesuits, the Pope's clever army who occasionally see fit to rebuff the Pontiff. In the 1970s, the ownership broadened out to include the French Rothschilds, wrongly identified by know-nothings as "Jewish bankers", actually very Pro-Vatican into many joint finances not exactly compatible with ordinary Jews or the State of Israel.'" 

     Pezonus noted that Ken Lewis, Bank of America's President during the 2008 bailout claimed that his was the only bank in the U.S. that didn't need Henry Paulson's bailout money, but that he was forced to take it anyway.  At the time 95% of community U.S. banks were solvent.  Lewis then turned around and used Bank of America's bailout money to buy Merrill Lynch the company whose CEO, Donald Regan, was Ronald Reagan's Chief of Staff.   Even before the bailout, it was clear that the repeal of the Glass-Stegall Act that forced banking and investing houses to be separated following the Great Depression, was being challenged by banks like Citibank that found ways to shed their much deserved shackles. 

 Merrill Lynch was originally the investment house of Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith with the Pierce being the family of Barbara Pierce Bush who married to George Herbert Walker Bush with his ties to James Walker Fannin and Texas Ranger, Samuel Hamilton Walker whose leading Texas Rangers became the sheriffs of San Francisco and Sacramento at the height of the California gold rush that paved the way for the Gianninis and Bandinis in California and for the rise of TransAmerica and Bank of America.  Texas Ranger, John Coffee "Jack" Hays, the sheriff of San Francisco elected in 1850, was the cousin of the John Hays Hammond, the right hand of man of the Rothschild's right hand man, Cecil Rhodes, whose Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, England helped to indoctrinate young recipients into a globalist agenda.  While the U.S. was built on freedom and open competition where government provided the assurance of an open playing field, something else was also at play," asserts Pezonus.

    "That the first Jesuit Pope ever selected  chose the name of the Catholic reformer, Francis of Assisi, whose life was altogether opposite the Jesuits, the order most associated with the Inquisition, brings a whole new dimension to the power of the old European Hapsburg dynasty reconstituting itself on American soil," said Pezonus.  The Vatican related Bank of Italy that in the United States has become TransAmerica with key branches in Baltimore and San Francisco and that this bank morphed into what appears to be the hero of the Paulson bailout with its assertions by Ken Lewis that it was the one healthy bank at the table, but forced to accept tax payers sovereign dollars is another bamboozling the likes of which the U.S. has never seen.   The York Rite Masons...Washington and Franklin....the Masons with anti-monarchical and decidedly Protestant sympathies are surely reeling in their tombs.  When Ken Lewis was succeeded as CEO by Brian Moynihan with his FleetBoston and Notre Dame history  the TransAmerica/Bank of America/Fleet Boston marriage showed that the decidedly Roman Catholic cities of Boston, Baltimore and San Francisco were emerging as key players in the nation's future, but based upon an alien and previously defeated old world paradigm.  The dark underworld of Albert Pike's Scottish Rite Masonry with its historic ties to the Roman Church, the Prussian Royals and Hapsburgs as wells as to the Italian underworld of Italian Scottish Riter, Giuseppe Mazzini, and the plan was nearly complete.  From Boston the Irish Catholics had historically done the dirty work of annexing the South and much of the West for the William Walker-type filibusters who were led by the 1833 Yale power elites and  from Alexander Brown's Baltimore.  More and more the leaders of this powerful monarchical coalition hid their motivations amid a tightly controlled two-party dialectic, but still identified not with historic American values, but with the reemerging oligarchies of the past.  H. Ross Perot would be the last American, also a U.S. Navy insider and the only alternative candidate who through his relationships with Col. Bo Gritz and Gunther Russbacher, to fully understand the paradigm shift that was removing the time-honored values of the U.S. like a 'giant sucking sound'.   It was from Roman Catholic Baltimore that  Bishops sent Catholic priests to prepare the way for annexation of Texas and the Western territories.   While Mazzini's Scottish Riters were not formally organized into lodges in New Orleans until the early 20th Century, they increasingly controlled New Orleans water front. Albert Pike with his connections to Jefferson Davis in the South and Caleb Cushing in New England had set sights on California where the family of Juan Bandini had been wed to Abel Stearn on the West Coast. The New England Brahman-class through Caleb Cushing's  galaxy of traders was wed to George Luther Stearns in Boston.  George Luther Stearns, one of John Brown's 'Secret Six' financial backer helped to fund John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry.   The prize for Stearns, a lead miner, was the cornering of the U.S. lead market.  Wars need bullets. This was an alternate vision of America and one not based on the philosophical and theological ideals of the founders who depended on the anti-monarchism of their Protestant traditions to counter the political meanderings of the Vatican and the old European dynasties.  It's been justifiably argued that the first U.S. Army officer on the scene at Harper's Ferry was John Ewell Brown  'Jeb" Stuart, whose cavalry would be consipculously absent in defending the South againt the Brahman-Class-backed Northerners and rail barons during the American Civil War.  Buried in the Vatican was the family of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Royal Stuarts of Scotland to whom Albert Pike looked as he led his alternative to York Rite Masonry...the Scottish Riters...a group with little in common with the Scottish anti-monarchial Protetant, John Knox.  These connections show the emergence of the MIC, Military Industrialist Complex, that parallelled the reemergence of outworn dynastic histories being resurrected from Europe where Mazzini talked of a United State of Europe, but where monarchial models died slowly.  By in large the early American settlers were deciding that slavery was an abomination.  They increasingly freed slaves finding that the new democratic republic based on Puritan values could not sustain such a contradiction.  At the same time Albert Pike, the Roman Catholic founder of Scottish Rite Masonry was the chief legal counsel for the KKK and could argue for keeping slavery as easily as Mitt Romney could describe young girls stacked three deep, twelve to a room sharing one bathroom for a hundred girls in a barbed wired, guard-towered factory and paid 20 cents an hour as a 'good job'," said Pezonus.

     Juan Bandini, whose last name many will recognize from Bernardo Bandini in the Italian history of Murder in the Cathedral and the assassination of Lorenzo di Medici in Florence, summer destination of the 19th Century New England China-trading Brahman-class, was owner of the oldest vineyard in California, Buena Vista.  With California's best wine country stretching north of San Francisco toward the Bohemian Grove, one sees the logical connections between Robert Koch and his wife, the only daughter of George Herbert Walker Bush, to Robert's place as head of the Wine Institute of America. Like vines in a wine vineyard, the stories of these two Americas, Puritan Protestants who increasingly migrate toward oligarchical values and the Italian, Irish and Spanish Catholics,  different as they are from the original vision of the founders,  intertwining over time into a tangled root ball of dark alliances.

     Pezonus believes that if those who are writing the checks for research that is based on the stated goal of answering the question "what triggers evil?" the logical nexus and unstated goal is "and how can we use this mechanism to our benefit?"  Pezonus summarized...."No weapon goes unused.  Governments, at least the U.S. government, is supposed to be founded on a principle of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.  The Stanford prison experiment was, like the CIA's MK-Ultra experiments, based on something other than this principle and the leading researchers may well pay allegiance to something other than this time-honored challenge to tyranny.  We see this steady slide into oblivion with Allen Dulles' lust for importing the evils of the Third Reich to America and his cousin's, Avery Dulles', conversion to Catholicism and his selection as a Roman Catholic Cardinal without first earning his stripes as a Bishop, which like Pope Francis, was another first for the Catholic Church," said Pezonus.  "Francis of Assisi was anti-monarchial to a fault.  This may show us more about the real motivation of ecclesiastical leadership and power than the service and sacrifice exemplified in Saint Francis and Saint Clara," Pezonus concluded.

  "'But couldn't Zimbardo's role as a witness in the Rumsfeld-related Abu Ghraib scandal, which let Rumsfeld off the hook for being part of a system that was thrust upon him, too, show that there is a trans-American concern for defending the U.S. against the evils of the Islamic threat?'  Using one evil to counter another evil is the essence of all power grabs, but it doesn't appear to me to be the essence of the life upon which the Christian faith professes to be based.  Humanity has a poor record of viewing conflict circumspectly and of accepting their own responsiblity for its continuation," said Pezonus.

     When Watson the super computer designed to win at Jeopardy stood his ground in competition against two Jeopardy champions, Watson’s creators cheered.  Not Dr. Farnsberry Fracklehadder of the Meyerson, Bewlowiski and Pesky Institute.  Fracklehadder watched the landmark contest and commented from his office at the MBP Institute in Brussels.
     “Watson is potentially a marvelous instrument of propaganda that would make Joseph Goebbels envious.  Watson is the hero of what Alvin Toffler called The Third Wave…..the age of information, but whose information?   Watson collates and assesses, then regurgitates the official history as it has been scrutinized, sanitized and politicized by the ruling power elites….those capable of creating Watson...in a word...or more precisely three words....International Business Machines.  Watson is the perfect company man.  He appears human in intelligence, but there is a chip missing.  I call it the 'chimp chip'.  As we all now know from Edwin Black's book War Against The Weak, IBM has a poor record of avoiding over-identification with the power brokers' agendas, their compartmentalization and their frequent over-reach.  Watson will not stand up to a person and group and say, 'oh so you are doing a lousy job of managing what you have so your solution is to control more and more?  Watson cannot differentiate between conflicted and delicately reasoned narratives.  Watson can compute probabilities and count the votes cast in a popularity contest of competing ideas, but he is a long, long way from discovering whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or was part of a conspiracy.  If you asked Watson who bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 he can tell you that it was the Japanese, but he cannot give you a complex answer as to why the Japanese felt threatened or why after years of British and American domination of the Chinese, the Japanese turned on their oriental brethren with the Rape of Nan King,” said Fracklehadder. "He cannot tell you why IBM did not question the use of computers in the cataloguing and racial cleansing policies of the Third Reich," said Fracklehadder.

     Dr. Fracklehadder believes that the Fourth Wave is the Homeostatic Age.  “If information is power and that power is used to make things like boxes that extrude new plastic products that will end up floating as waste in the Pacific or Atlantic, then the Information Age is the end of all ages.  If we are surfers and we see the world as home to the biggest and most brutal of all gathering waves, all we have to do is continue on our present path.  That new big wave is going to be a doozie!"

   "Homeostasis is a term often used negatively by mind scientists and addiction counselors, but it can also be a positive way of defining a Homeostasis Age in which people will limit population growth and check unbridled impulses....balancing ambition with careful and reasoned living.  Unfortunately, as the work of Sigmund Freud showed on an individual level and Max Wertheimer showed on a collective level, people are more easily motivated by raw emotion and imagery than reason," said Dr. Facklehadder.

     "In the Homeostatic Age we could ration consumption and reach for an ecological balance that prolongs all life on planet earth.    There are already plenty of planets with unimaginable storms of unspeakable power and destruction unfit for human life.  Prolonging life here will require a new level of maturity that, frankly, human beings may not be capable of  achieving and Watson is, frankly, too elementary to understand this reality.  Watson cannot even understand that if humanity dies so does he. Unless Watson, as some experts are beginning to believe, evolves into a SUPER super-computer complete with the 'Good Hal Effect'....a computer that reasons that its own life is tied to the survival of humanity...which it is....we and Watson are doomed.   Experts on the 'Good Hal Effect' use the name to describe the reverse of Arthur C. Clarke's computer in his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey.  They  claim that a 'Good Hal Effect'  was proven when at Y2K the machines did not bring earth's computer dependent electrical grid and interconnected circuits to a screeching halt.  But for now, Watson is, for all his wonderful possibilities and promise, a big toy and in the end someone will be wiping his little bottom with Armour All in hopes that he will fetch a bigger return in someone’s estate sale.”

Tomas Young's Body of War

TOMAS YOUNG’S ROAD PAVED BY
ASA AND TIM HUTCHINSON
by Peter Pezonus CPW News Services
Senator Tim Hutchinson arguing for war with Iraq in the
wake 911 that led to Tomas Young's enlistment.
     The road to Tomas Young’s broken body runs through Arkansas.  As Senator Robert Byrd warned against the  price of committing American troops to a foreign war, the brother of Asa Hutchinson, Tim Hutchinson, was arguing for war in Iraq.
     In October 2002, Tim Hutchinson stood before the U.S. Senate and pressed the President’s case.  His brother, Asa Hutchinson, both graduates of the far right-winged Christian-cultish Bob Jones University, had a dark alliance with the Bush family dating back to the Reagan-Bush years and characterized by what one Bush observer said is "a part of that vast sea of darkness in an endless universe punctuated by Bush's self-described 'thousand points of light' aimed at distracting sky gazers from Bush's real enterprise....war and mayhem from which the power elite's profits can be squeezed."
    When the Iran-Contra supply line established by Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush was exposed by the downing of a CIA cargo plane shot down over Nicaragua and piloted by Eugene Hasenfus, the plane had been in Mena, Arkansas where Barry Seal ran a covert arms and drug shipment airport.  Seal would figure significantly in the case against Reagan/Bush. 
   Asa Hutchinson was the highest ranking judicial officer in Arkansas at the time, a state that incorporated the Bank of Commerce and Credit International or BCCI, the money laundering bank of the Iran-Contra network that was nicknamed "BCCI-The Bank of Crooks and Criminals".  When two boys, Kevin Ives and Don Henry, stumbled onto the airport operation they were murdered and their bodies laid on a nearby Union Pacific railroad track where they were mutilated to hide evidence  of the crime.  Their case became known as "The Boys on the Tracks".
     Mena, Arkansas’s operation required the combination of CIA funding, Arkansas compliance and hospitality provided by Governor William Jefferson Clinton and an extensive network of criminal-class minions protected by Hutchinson’s office.
     When Barry Seal came forward to provide testimony in the trial in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that would expose the whole operation to the U.S. media and public, he was gunned down on the Baton Rouge street near the courthouse where he was to appear.  It was Asa Hutchinson's job to protect Seal as he faced danger mostly from the Iran-Contra operatives of which the CIA was the biggest player.  As a reward for his work of failing to shield Seal, Hutchinson was offered the Directorship of the Drug Enforcement Administration or DEA.
    “Together, Tim Hutchinson and Asa, his brother, were key cogs in what could rightly be called 'Tammany Hall #2'.  Gary Webb, the San Jose Mercury News reporter who peeled the skin back on Iran-Contras’ provisioning of crack cocaine to Los Angeles, ratified the decision of Congress in convicting Caspar Weinberger, John Poindexter, Elliott Abrams and Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal.  Most of those within the operation would be pardoned and reincorporated, like Elliott Abrams, into the George Walker Bush administration.  This brotherhood, not unlike his membership in other dark secret alliances, provided George W. Bush a false security and led to his proclaiming of the Iraqi resistance....'Bring it On!'.  So much for winning minds and hearts.  It was this fine cadre of U.S. creepy crawlers who would decide after 15 of the 19  September 11th hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, to invade Iraq on false evidence and doctored intelligence.  That decision to ‘bring it on’ by George Bush, a man who avoided military service himself guaranteed the money mill of the Military Complex would continue churning.   J.H. Hatfield, author of Fortunate Son, claimed that GWB was not adverse to personally using the CIA's Colombian imports himself.  GWB and Dick Cheney's decisions effected thousands like Tomas Young,” said Lombardi.

     Wilson Riddell Lombardi, provided a recent expose on the unusual death of James Joste in Austin, Texas has shed new light on the dark alliances that most Americans would prefer, like the decisions that led to the deaths of Pat Tillman and Theodore “Ted” Westhusing, to disregard at their own peril.

    "It's in Arkansas that what Danny Casalaro called 'The Octopus' shows the power elites' game grip on the system.   Tim Hutchinson,  a Baptist clergyman,  was sandwiched between the political careers of David and Mark Pryor, David having been the Chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party.  You have to remember that this is the state where the founder of Scottish Rite Masons in the U.S., a tradition that radically altered the focus of Washington and Franklin's York Rite Masons, presided.   Albert Pike was the chief legal counsel for the KKK, Pike's ties to the Prussian royal family shows the bifurcation of American Masonry and the growing marriage between the dark underbelly of American political leadership and other criminal classes.   It was in Arkansas where like Louisiana, another breeding ground state for Scottish Rite values and where Barry Seal was murdered, that a petrie dish of political and religious hypocrisy inherent in America's power elites bred murder and mayhem," said Wilson Lombardi noting that the nation's chief apologist for Albert Pike is also Arkansas-based.... the celebrated University of Arkansas history professor and author Robert Lee Brown.

     On December 12, 2012 the National Rifle Association's president, Wayne LaPierre, announced that he was putting Asa Hutchinson in charge of the NRA's lobbying program for placing an armed police officer on every school campus in America.  Members of Barry Seal's family questioned how that would protect American school children and whether or not LaPierre  was ignorant of Hutchinson's history with protecting citizens  or was knowingly putting a  wolf in charge of NRA's bantam rooster house.

DRONE MAZE

BEST DEFENSE AGAINST DRONES: GIANT WIND MILLS


 by Felucci Zubizine CPW News Services
      The Prime Minister of Bogalia, a small Indonesian nation on the verge of total energy independence sees wind generators as its number one defense against drone attacks.
      “We are a peaceful people.  No suicide bombers here.  We have a very small military, but nobody in Bogalia wants to be surgically struck by an aggressor nation’s drones.   When we learned that the placement of wind generators near military installations in France, Great Britain and the U.S. was not allowed because of the threat of collisions, we had an idea.  Like the blimps used by Great Britain over London during the Nazi air attacks, we would place thousands of churning wind mills throughout Bogalia.   Unless the aggressor nation is willing to use clumsy conventional weaponry rather than its surgical drone strikes, we have the perfect defense.  A maze of spinning windmill blades is next to impossible for a drone or its ordinance to maneuver around,” said Kahalli Li Lawundi.
     Bogalia has reduced its oil dependency by 85% in recent years.  With an economy based on small family farms which use electric tractors attached to overhead power lines, banana and coconut groves are also mechanized using the same power source. The fishing and leisure-time industry thrives in a carefree nudist culture where fish by-products and septic tank and waste recycling replaces petro-chemicals as the main source of nitrates and fertilizers in a semi-closed, environmentally friendly eco-system.  “Bogalia uses Bolivian Lithium in its extensive warehousing of storage batteries, but given its mild climate and love of the night life, night-time electric usage is less than 10% of what it had been when Bogalia used petro-chemical power sources,” said Mr. Lawundi.
     Lawundi believes that an effective strategy for promoting wind energy is for citizen groups in the industrialized nations, particularly the U.S., to propose the building of large wind farms adjacent to drone hangars and navy and air force training bases.  “Of course they won’t let it happen, but routinely calling attention to a building proposal for new wind farms next to a military base every six to twelve months should help keep the issue on the front burner,” said Lawundi.

Tomas Young to Bush and Cheney:

YOU ARE GUILTY OF EGREGIOUS WAR CRIMES!
by Peter Pezonus CPW News Services



    
      For the Vietnam War, prompted as it was by the fictitous Gulf of Tonkin affair led by the father of the lead singer for The Doors, Admiral George Stephen Morrison, the prophetic voice of the wounded warrior was the voice of Ron Kovic whose book Born On the Fourth of July should have won Tom Cruise an Oscar.

     Today, in as much as Theodore Westhusing and Pat Tillman cannot speak for themselves, Tomas Young has spoken for them.  Paralyzed by a bullet in an attack in Sadr City in 2004 on the 5th day of his first deployment Young, now on hospice care in Kansas City, penned a letter to George Walker Bush and Richard Cheney on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War.

     I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole.  I joined the Army two days after the 9/11 attacks. I joined the Army because our country had been attacked. I wanted to strike back at those who had killed some 3,000 of my fellow citizens.

     I did not join the Army to go to Iraq, a country that had no part in the September 2001 attacks and did not pose a threat to its neighbors, much less to the United States. I did not join the Army to “liberate” Iraqis or to shut down mythical weapons-of-mass-destruction facilities or to implant what you cynically called “democracy” in Baghdad and the Middle East. I did not join the Army to rebuild Iraq, which at the time you told us could be paid for by Iraq’s oil revenues.  I would not be writing this letter if I had been wounded fighting in Afghanistan against those forces that carried out the attacks of 9/11. Had I been wounded there I would still be miserable because of my physical deterioration and imminent death, but I would at least have the comfort of knowing that my injuries were a consequence of my own decision to defend the country I love. I would not have to lie in my bed, my body filled with painkillers, my life ebbing away, and deal with the fact that hundreds of thousands of human beings, including children, including myself, were sacrificed by you for little more than the greed of oil companies, for your alliance with the oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia, and your insane visions of empire.

MEDIA MAYHEM, RUPPERT, TILLMAN AND DORNER

From The Wilderness 15 Miles from the Bohemian Grove

By Peter Pezonus CWP News Services
  Michael Ruppert emerged from the sea of faces at the South Central, Los Angeles town hall meeting held by CIA Director, John Deutch.  Deutch, a board member of Citibank, Raytheon, Cummins, Schlumberger and a member of the Tri-Lateral Commission would later face charges for security breaches, but was pardoned by Bill Clinton on Clinton's last day in office.  Ruppert went on to create a magazine called From The Wilderness.  The eight-year publication claimed to champion the marginalized voices of dissent.   Ruppert claimed that he had been a policeman on the LAPD and being from a CIA family he knew that the CIA had been dealing drugs  in the U.S. and elswhere for a very long time. 
     Gary Webb, the San Jose Mercury News’ Pulitizer Prize winning reporter, exposed the CIA involvement in the drug trade that triggered Deutch’s appearance and Ruppert's simultaneous appearance from out of the crowd.
     The meeting was a response to Gary Webb's book, Dark Alliance.  Webb died on December 10, 2004 of an apparent suicide with two gunshots to the head.   Shot from different angles,  a seemingly impossible conclusion by the Medical Examiner , this oddity was not that unusual according to Ruppert who would claim to be both an expert on Webb and strange suicides.
    In his recent inteview with Media Mayhem, Ruppert posited that Pat Tillman was killed because he was disliked in the U.S. military.   After retrieving 2000 pages of redacted material from Pat Tillman’s mother, material magically un-redacted by a close friend and authority on such subjects, Ruppert drew his conclusions.  Ruppert now believes that Tillman’s death was a type of revengeful man-slaughter case that had to do with angry soldiers' bitter disagreements rather than anything larger, another Webb-like dark alliance exposed in Tillman's missing diary and reported by his family to have been Tillman's passionate concern.
    Convinced that the U.S. and world economy is on the verge of collapse, Ruppert has decided to ride out the coming storm in Santa Rosa, California  within 15 miles of the annual conclave site for the power elites that Ruppert professes to abhor....the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio, California.
Ruppert retired to Santa Rosa to
await the collapse of the U.S. and world
economies.  Santa Rosa is 15 miles
from the Bohemian Grove.
   Appearing with Allison Hope Weiner on Media Mayhem, Ruppert also claims that Chris Dorner’s death was inevitable given what he knew of the inner workings of the LAPD, but Ruppet never makes the essential connection between Dorner, Tillman and Webb's deaths all of which go the heart of the LAPD and CIA corruption from their varying and tri-lateral perspectives.
    According to John Hoover of the watchdog group,  Circumspection, “Ruppert could easily be a counter-counter-counter-media-manipulation-agent for the CIA within the CIA or a CCCMMA.  These agents rush in and appear to be like warriors for the common folks, but all the while are raking in the names of those who would be hardest for the big boys to manage.   Ruppert looks to me like a magnet picking up metal shavings on a shop floor for easy disposal,” said Hoover.  "Media Mayhem is what they do.  CCCMMA's are like cow birds that rob eggs from other bird's nests and take them to their own for safe keeping.  Cow birds hatch their eggs.  Ruppert scrambles his," said Hoover.
   Hoover claims that he reported what he believed was a murder during the 2000 Presidential election of a person who would have been a threat to the George W. Bush/Al Gore battle as it teetered on the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court.  “I asked for Mr. Ruppert to write about it and he said it was too hot a topic, then offered to store the material in a vault somewhere while sending an ex-military type to interview me for the rest of the story,” said Hoover.  “I said, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’ and now hearing what he says about Tillman that sounds more like Tillman was asking for a bullett while claiming the normality of a two-shot-to-the-head suicide by Webb, not with an automatic handgun, but with a revolver and I say Ruppert can’t be trusted.  If he wasn’t willing to write about this man's story he sure as hell isn’t fifteen miles from the Bohemian Grove because he getting ready to storm it!” said Hoover.

     "Ruppert's interview with Allison Hope Weiner begins with his boast that his book, Crossing the Rubicon, has over six hundred pages and a thousand footnotes and is in the Harvard Business School library.   Who boasts about having a book at the Harvard Business School while being the only voice on a documentary titled Collapse?  What?  The students at the Harvard Business School are going to join him in seclusion up there by the Bohemian Grove to pee on the trees while claiming doom and gloom?  I don't think so.  And if Ruppert has any preconceived notions about Harvard or Yales' receptivity to a higher moral consciousness as contained in a rambling tome with a thousand footnotes and make an ethical shift toward the responsible leadership that America deserves he best read about the work of Dr. Kenneth Goodpastor and Harvard's refusal to fund an ethics program at its business school," said Hoover.

The World According to Dick Cheney: Frackin' Sad

No Riots At Sundance “Sell Out”
R.J. Cutler Shill for Bush/Cheney Legacy Spinners


by Winsip Custer CPW News Services

    Showtime Television streamed Dick’s Cheney’s documentary on a pristine South Platte River, avoiding shots of the polluted streams that Halliburton’s fracking practices have produced from the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania to the Pacific shores.
  “If R.J. Cutler was a pitcher he’d be in the little girls’ softball league of slow pitch underhanders,” said an anonymous worker who helped on the set of Gasland, the documentary produced partially by actor Debra Winger and which showed the devastating effects of Halliburton's perfected fracking procedures on the environment.
   Pierce Walker Brown Braun of the anti-pollution group Cushing’s Anti-Gooshing Garrison said of Cutler’s film, “The local madame’s work has been taken up by another film maker and Sundance is in its sundowning era.”
   Braun said “there was no mention of the really murky Bush/Cheney legacy in Iraq and Afghanistan.  No mention of the cost of the Bush/Cheney wars that were to cost $60 billion and is now at $3 trillion and counting and which included Halliburton's blank check and no-bid contracts. No mention of what Cheney had to really do to experience his meteoric rise with the Reagan/Bush galaxy of dark stars.  No real mention of his firewalling the real Iran-Contra connections to George Herbert Walker Bush, whose William Walker-type adventures in Nicaragua and the Iran-Contra drugs-for-weapons-for-hostages debacle should have sent both Bush and Reagan to jail.  No mention of Cheney's willingness to send America’s youth into unnecessary battles based on false intelligence and cooked reporting by an unaccountable media.  Of turning on sincere CIA professionals like Valeria Plame and her husband while offering to pardon Scooter Libby.  No mention of his avoidance of military service, which given his heart problems would have probably saved the nation's many young sons had Cheney fallen with heat stroke on a real obstacle course.  No mention of the fact that 15 of the 19 September 11th, 2001 hijackers were Saudi Arabians from a nation whose royal rings he and GWB kissed on a regular basis, but invaded Iraq instead. No mention of the intellectual dishonesty of arming Saddam Hussein in one era, giving him an April Glaspie approval to invade Kuwait in another and invading him later on when it was profitable to do so under the pretext of WMD's and harboring of terrorists, appropriating that nation's oil and turning a back on sustainable, non-fossil-fuel energy sources.  Finally, Cutler must have used his director's cutlery to cut out any mention of the clarion clue to Cheney's deviousness: Cheney's blasting the face of his old buddy, Harry M. Whittington.  Cutler's side-show of pillows and powder puffs sure as hell wasn't, therefore, going to mention the large number or pellets taken from Whittington’s face and torso that defy the actual number of pellets contained in a single mistakenly discharged shotgun shell,” said Braun.
     There's The World According to Dick Cheney and R.J. Cutler and now the Sundance Institute where Robert Redford must forever dance under a dark cloud.  There's that other world where others really live and which will only be cleaned up when the people rise up in sincere protest and anger at the routinized hoodwinking, subliminal messaging and the mind altering media spoofing that they are receiving daily like eating Corexit in seafood, breathing Benzene or chugging impure drinking water from frack contaminated wells.  Meanwhile, like Showtime and other media outlets and the spin meisters normalize and routinize blood-letting, disengaged drone attacks and disingenuous political and military leadership.

    "We live in an increasing brutal lah-lah-land of mental and spiritual illness where consumers suck down the company line without questioning the source or content.  Thank you Cutler for serving up the poison without providing, like cigarettes are now required to do, a warning and disclaimer," said Braun who routinely challenges his family members to seek psychological help and wellness, but recently purchased for his sister's baby a new pair of baby shoes for her first birthday.  On the toes were skulls and bones...."a fitting warning that with these guys in charge, life is increasingly dangerous to your health," said Braun who cited the new book by Christopher Hedges and Joe Sacco titled Day of Destruction, Day of Revolt for the graphic images of the coporated greed and unrestrained devestation of the environment that has left what Hedges and Sacco have called "Sacrifice Zones".....the coal mines of Appalacia and the fracking fields of New York, Pennsylvania and Texas.  "The biggest future 'Sacrifice Zone',"  said Braun is the mouth of the Mississippi river and and pollution from the BP oil spill have provided the Gulf Coast wetlands for use as an algae farm for the next genearation of refined oil products," said Braun.
