Death.

& what are we to make of this man – this very small man this man who possesses not ounce ounce of humanity in his whole stinking body
i must admit as much as i detested nixon – you could get a laugh (a sinister laugh – it is true) from him as a character in american politics. in his way he was a personnage from any number of american playwrights particularly o’neill, williams or miller. there was something theatrical too about his grotesqueness. he was no doubt one of the most sinister men in american politics but he has been outdone since in a way even his diseased mind could have never imagined
reagan was an offense – a cruel & deliberate offence to the heart of the amrican people. barnum & bailey had met their political vanishing point. there was not a serious bone in reagans body that was not somehow sown from the most mean of pathologies : meanness, bitterness, envy, jealousy, small mindedness, petty vanity, petit accomplishments. what was done in using this fools face was really the beginning of what we are seeing today – with the real operatives – & they are as dark as anything goethe could have imagined & worse because they are small. so small. this is smalltown politics written large. their tragedies are not shaespearean – we are not watching the destinies of great men
compared to them richard lll or edward ll are perfect gentlemen
christopher marlowe at his profanest could not have written characters as evil as bush or cheney or rumsfield or bolton or wolfowitz or richard perle. shaekespeare was never much good at precision at the precision of small things & his majestic talents would not have comprehendered the impoverishment of power as it exists today
ô he would have recognised the blood, the barbarity & the deceits but he would have never imagined that these men could have escaped the townhall politics of a crooked city
there is of course the stylistic gaucheries of kurosawa that give us the faces of the horror of the bush cheney junta but heals not the words
this crew is so diabolic that i don’t know if art can approximate the terror of them – how can that cruel & bitter laugh of bush laughing at the death penalty & so much else. how can one give face to this ex drunks permanant sneer/smile
i feel like a pornographer just looking at him. he makes me feel dirty. they all do. when i have the misfortune to actually hear thier words – even though i have heard them many many times because they repeat everything at least two hundred times & what did bob dylan say – “what is the price of going thru this movie twice” or “no, no no i haave seen this movie before”. when i hear them i am disgusted at myself that i & they can live in the same world. it is an indignity which i regard as personal
what i hate about them most of all is their utter lack of guts. they are by definition, cowards. their risks are taken by other people – always other people & the people that benefit from those bloody risks are always the same. always
worse, i detest the technocrats who will try to explain them away but who in reality constructed them; these elites who alway create monster they cannot control & piouslly believe in a system that betrays the people. & the people are always seen by these technocrats as a mob. they are never anything more than that. a mob. these technocrats shave carefully when the mob is around
& those technocrats whether they are american french or english believe so much in their might power, & their mighty power of observation that they do not see the ground beneath their feet. they do not see the world. they unhppily do not see knowledge or the potential riches of knowledge. they see mechanisms & benefits. that is a sad world. the saddest world
i believe in a better
i believe communism can create that better man
i believe then man can live to potentials beyond his imagination
i have not seen it
i will not see it
perhaps because we as a people are at risk of becoming like our leaders, small, infintismally small

The fact Bush avoided service–real risk–in a war aggressively supported by his family is his most detestable quality. Doing so says to those who sacrifice for his claim of glory, they are beneath his acknowledgment of contempt.

This one really says it all, anna missed. Bull’s-eye.

I can never trust (as did Henry Clay did) a society of secrete supreme powers. In the interest of the people, they can not be trusted, as they are obvoiusly republicans (aristocrats who beleive only the educated and rich should make the decisions)bent on achieiving extreme supremacy at the expence of our own power.
So screw the Patriot Act(a betrayal of the very word of itself b/c it’s is an investment in the “Big Brother” who could gun down all radicals, especially those looking to change the system, and deprive the heartless of such selfishness amd dependency)and all those who have desecrated Geronimo for a reason no better then kicking me off the land my anscestors have inhabited. I’m for a revolution!

My Dear Sculls,
It is not the Illuminati Cult, nor Project Blue Beam(funded by the Vatican, nor is it Scientologist and the military-(that be an army faction—cuz you know, that there isn’t any sea in the matrix and via a Hunter Intercept I heard them say that the Navy’s nothin’ and they’re on top in the matrix, nor is it the tin-men administrators at Linux that we have to worry about; as much as we have to worry about what is going on miles under Dulce.
Catch back with you later,
Affectionately,
Connie
