& today somebody unnamed left a new biography – some say the definitive biography of walter benjamin (jean-michel palmier – walter benjamin – le chiffonnier, l’ange et le petit bossu – paris – klincksieck – 2006) – at my door to pass these times but i thought i would mention it for alabama who may already be aware of it

Perhaps she is thinking about another ‘event’. Then she thinks, but that would be to risky. She is tired of yet again trying to analyze this mess from an old model. The ‘politics’ angle is pure theater. Now, there are reasons related to ‘marketing’ for the production but that’s just the surface distraction. It’s designed to leave the impression that there is a functioning government and it’s being moved in this direction by some sort of natural force. The politician’s normal job then as well as now is to “SELL” their bosses’ agenda. That’s a hard sell to anybody paying attention.
The episodes with Oily Dick and Pinhead and the rest of the players are designed to get us used to the idea that this is a dictatorship and Congress just can’t do a thing about it.
As to another ‘galvanizing event’, who knows? It will have no effect on anybody who’s been paying attention. It might garner a few who can’t get their minds around the obvious. In reality they have nothing to worry about. Who’s gonna DO anything about them?
She is asking herself, what difference it makes if you fight a war, lose, and are ‘subdued’ by an enemy or whether the ‘enemy’ buys your politicians, buys your means of communication and places their agents in every aspect of your lives.
Are we any less ‘occupied and controlled’ than you would be if the ‘old model’ scenario had happened?
When we look at our situation with obsolete eyes we have to invent ‘plausable’ scenarios to explain our predicament. If we look at it objectively all we have to do is add up the pieces and look who benefits. These things are not the result of some flux in the space-time continuum. There is no ‘Cosmic Manifest Destiny’ that is forcing events.
Oily Dick and the Little Buckeroo aren’t charting this course because they have some deeply-believed ideology that compels them to action. They are part of a mob. They are ‘high functionaries’ to be sure, but functionaries just the same. If their owners decide another “9-11 Movie” will sell at the boxoffice, they may do it. If not, they won’t. Regardless, the Plan will move forward. Because the elite want it. And they always get what they want.
She thinks to herself, I’m not especially interested in 9-11 any more. I too had a firm insight that day that the Sleazy Bush-trash were behind it, and all things considered I don’t think there’s a real doubt of this, but meanwhile the whole discussion among the 9-11 black-op crowd has been perverted off into these circular loops that are just going to keep going ’round and ’round until the end of time. “9-11 Truth” has decayed into an industry for its own sake! Hey, what else can you expect when you see Fetzer climbing on board? It’s what he does. I’m not even saying he’s insincere — that’s beside the point.
All this much ado is really accomplishing at this point is distracting people’s attentions and energies from the completely obvious “man behind the curtain,” the lynching of whom is now the crucial order of business.
Quite a while ago, the time came to reach intelligent conclusions — to hell with “definitive proof,” everybody with those goods is either dead or scared silent — and to MOVE ON TO “WHAT’S NEXT.”
As to the face and the name of that “man behind the curtain,” you know what I think. I can build a powerful indictment just by listing all their past skullduggery of the same flavor:
The Lavon Incident
The USS Liberty Incident
The “Achille Lauro” farce
The 1950s false flag terror in Iraq
The Lockerby plane bombing (to frame Qaddafi)
The La Belle Discotheque bombing and “Operation Trojan”
The 1982 Beirut Barracks bombing
The “Daring Entebbe Rescue” farce
(these last two have just recently come to light. Looks like somebody else doesn’t like them, either, HAHA! poor demons!)
there are many, many more
and…
Literally HUNDREDS of false-flag terror attacks they perpetrated against both the British and Arabs during the 1940s in Palestine. When they attacked the British, they would disguise as Arabs, Turks, Sudanese, etc., as in the case of the King David Hotel bombing, sometimes even leading Camels around to make the disguise more convincing. When they descended on isolated Arab villages to churn babies up with machine guns, they would use guys who looked British and spoke English and dress them in British military uniforms of various types, elaborate down to the last detail. This sort of thing was de rigeur! And it was this period in Palestine that spawned their entire culture of false-flag ops! THIS MUST NOT BE IGNORED!!
NOBODY loves false flag terror the way they do. NOBODY. Both the ‘terror’ part and the ‘false flag’ part. The ‘terror’ part because they just simply HATE, the ‘false flag’ part because it tickles their weird sense of humor/”racial” superiority to no end. To penetrate their twisted cultural psychology is to know with certainty that thay are the prime suspects in 9-11.

a decoration of independence,
the freedom to choose from a wide selection of designer frames,
contemplations on the commodity self,
cerebrate? not really,
celebrate the pursuit of profit,
posed, disembodied & mass-produced,
wave your flags, your wavy hair,
wave bye bye to the natural world hidden in the background

The picture is about “her”.
She appears deliberative, contemplative, concerned, and wise.
She appears above the sentimentality she is so obviously possessed by.
She is cool, hip, and cutting edge.
She is beautiful.
She is infatuated with herself.
She is her own self generated ideal.
She is an image.
She is static.
She is what she can sell.
She is two dimensional.
She is a reflection.
She is black and white,
In a world of color.

As for the flags – the U.S. seems to be hysterical about its flag.
it is as if the national team is playing in the world cup every day ;>)

anna missed
i was looking at your ‘heartland’ & ‘blackberry winter count’
they are such powerful pieces & speak to me especially today
powerful political art has to have the strength to surrender, not to submit
on the contrary resistance is formed from a certain kind of surrendering. i imagine ironically enough that the taoists lnwew a little of this surrendering from strength
there is this force in samuel beckett’s ‘that time’ for example where the winds that are following from the benjaminian angels of history force art to speak through this surrender
that is, to contain the mystery while using every bit of instinctual capacity to demystify
the ‘figures’ in ‘heartland’ speak to me today of the terrible darkness of late capitalism, of the horror it infests into day to day life, how it makes a pornography of hope & of how it belittles engagement
in these last three weeks i have thought often why i renounced a certain kind of ‘celebrity’ to work with communities where the results must necessarily be speculative & where everything is about a construction of a trace not a monument
& i think there are many ‘unfinished’ texts that i have not completed, awaiting a time of peace & now knowing that time may never come or worse that the peace will never arrive
never have i felt art’s necessity more urgently because each act of creation we renounce we give in to barbarity; the barbarity which is peculiar to ur age
tamurlain i could take, bush i cannot bear

what a real political art means – a bravery to smash through the institutions of fear that would imprison us & our imagination
Wonderful – I think I will print this line out and post it on my wall.

that is to say, i refuse to be frightened nor even believe the the new myths of constant catastrophe or graded colour determined menace whoch always turn out to be the work of extremely incompetent crackpots or overzealous members of ‘intelligence’ services
anna@20 – how you create a trace, just so, is indefinissable – what is given to the other through a writing workshop or through a poem – is sometimes not as clear as dominant culture suggest it might be
after a 3 hour seance where i have plunged into the deep blue sea firsaking all subject materialism except my instinct & memory – i sometimes experience it as the most advanced form of my communication & sometimes even the best of my poems or plays still resonate despite all my efforts – ‘with the lessons of culture’ – whose central theses have & will remain my constant enemy
the dominant culture has always remained every bit as offe,sive to me as the elites domination of either jurisprudence or force
& i have always been more intrigued by the response of “why the fuck did you do that” – recently i have collaborated as b knows in a novel by thomas harlan which has been called on of the most important events in german literature – which includes a text of mine in english & the first response would have to be “what the fuck” but since art is not another form of evangalism bt a demand on its public to do a bit of dialectical work themselves – it appears to me as the more challenging
i’d add that there are queens of high german culture who see thomas & all his works as diabolic to both german history & language
even american leftists like robert kramer in his film ‘notre nazi’ cannot understand fully the fury that are exhibited in such works of harlan like ‘wundkanal’ & is the reson i am a brother-in-struggle to thomas because the dominat culture is so offensive it requires every risk, every renouncement, every experimentation that the hulan heart is capable of under conditions which try to claim us as victims
well, fuck them

The US flag is a version of the East India Company Flag
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company#Flags
“The people who own the country ought to govern it.” – John Jay, First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
America is not the federal government, America is not those who own it, and it has taken a lot of effort to make the people who are America somehow view themselves as American only to the extent that they serve the federal government and those who own the country. If there is some sort of intrinsic ”heart of darkness” to Americans, I think it is actually something pretty universal, showing up at any given time in the tribe that’s “got the sharpest knives”.

And now for something totally different…
Giovanni Sollima – Sogno ad Occhi Aperti (Daydream) PART 1
Be sure to watch PART 2 too. Its even better.
Also, I can’t help but think this piece, anna missed’s (loyalty day 2007) is but one of a series in a montage? Anyway, I was hoping to see more. And
the above muzak was playing in the background while I was meditating on it tonight, so I thought I’d look it up on the ol’ utoobz, and share it with you guys/gals.
