Seen them yet?

Sorry Veterans. A "President" that can't meet with the Dalai Lama, and won't decide the fate of american soldiers until he meets with the Chinese, can't be what you signed up for.

TURN ON, TUNE IN, OPT OUT.

My Name is Michael Sterling. I am ashamed of Barack Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama Jr. cannot rightfully hold the Office of the President of the United States according to the eligibility requirements of Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.

It is imperative that the courts hear the lawsuits challenging Obama’s eligibility and make their determinations based on constitutional law. All delays will result in further damage to the authority of the federal government and the country in general.

SICK PUPPY

In 1989, we saw footage of Chinese students massing in Tiananmen square. We saw them erect a crude copy of the Statue of Liberty and demand Freedom and Democracy. We saw the Red Army called in by the Politburo to restore order, and we saw Chinese tanks roll in to back them up. We saw the lone man standing in front of one, continually moving to block its progress. What we didn't see was the slaughter that followed.

Many wondered why the United States did nothing.

“We” did nothing because the father of the current President was on his way to China to procure their tacit agreement not to interfere with his own plans for the upcoming Gulf War. The price? “Our” tacit approval of the murder of over ten thousand University students who wanted nothing more than to be like “Us”. No wonder George Herbert Walker Bush threw up at an official Japanese dinner on his way to China. He got his war and China went unchecked. Iraq got it's tacit consent to invade Kuwait and as a result of “liberating” a country even less democratic than China, the United States got to keep it's airbases in Saudi Arabia as surely as Saddam Hussein got to keep his palaces in Baghdad. When asked to leave by the countries that had invited us, we simply said “We'll leave when the job's done...”, even though we were asking for future reprisal of the most virulent kind from the Radical Muslim fundamentalists that viewed our continued presence in the land of Mecca and the Kaaba as the greatest insult possible. Hussein returned to Baghdad, we stayed in Saudi Arabia, and the “job” remained undone...

... until Osama bin-Laden's mercenary terror network took out the World Trade Center.

September 11, 2001. A Chinese Peoples Liberation Army transport landed in Kabul Afghanistan. The Chinese officials had come to sign a contract; the very contract Osama bin-Laden had requested. A contract that provided the Taliban with state of the art communications, missile defense, and air defense systems in exchange for the Taliban's promise to end Muslim extremist attacks in China's northwestern provinces. Attacks that stopped as the Bush Administration's “War On Terror” began, and systems that have yet to be used.

From IllumiNation! (12.12.2002)

Oh, there's more - almost 7 years later - but with a 6 year old's projectile vomiting HEADLINE NEWS, we all need to re-think just what a "hoax" is, and how guilty those "riveted to the screen" truly are.

Maybe then, we'll tune out our favorite "Reality Show" long enough to see the real conspiracy that threatens us all.

If we're lucky, we may live to feel the relief all sick puppies feel after they've purged all the toxic poisons from their system.

Contract with America? Better read the fine print to see just what you're expected to "deliver".

One of the "dirty 30" Republican males that voted AGAINST a female employee of a defense contractor being able to sue if she was gangraped by fellow employees - while employed by the company that hired them - is (least but not last) the man that would be President Of The United States if Sarah Palin had had her way.

Maybe Oprah can ask America's most famous quitter how she would feel if Bristol or Meghan, or Liz Cheney for that matter, had to be rescued from a locked Halliburton subsidiary's container in Iraq, only to find they had no legal recourse against those who defiled them. Period.

Rape, with a capital (R).

WHO would deny a female employee of a defense contractor - gangraped by fellow employees while employed by the company that hired her - an abortion, if her assailants hadn't used their KBR Gold Pack colored condoms?

THANK GOD for SNL.

The Longest Day

Pretty hard to bitch about everyone's deafening silence as they wait to see what each other says about the "best data yet", without posting my own take.

Someone should have at least suggested that the moon is NOT made of the same material as Comet Tempel 1. Especially when he claimed that Apollo core samples proved it wasn't from around here in the first place...

Yeah, I'm looking at you Richard.

Long day. Waited for nothing. Twice.

A little over 3 months after Iranian dissenters put Twitter on the map, CNN; first to jump on the "social networking" bandwagon, runs a story targeting those who used that very same service to warn and direct G-20 protestors away from those who sought to arrest them.

The only difference between Iran and today's post-Pittsburgh United States is that our police use military pain-inducement devices on our dissidents. And get away with it.

Hindering prosecution? Criminal use of a communication facility? Possessing criminal instruments?

Tweeting?

Entrapment Tonight.

Way to go America. While you've been arguing over your pennies going into someone else's pockets, that which is truly priceless has been stolen from you as surely as the Empire State building WAS NOT turned green to send a defiant message to the Iranian "dictator" during his trip to the UN.

The whole world is really watching this time, and all those waiting 60 years for the destruction of our country can only be thinking: “It won't be long now... and we didn't have to do a thing!”

Think about that next time you turn to your favorite 24/7 cable news channel... and leave it there.

All apologies to Harry Turtledove, Reverend Wright, and Neda.

“Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare... will be vastly different than it is today... the distinction between military and commercial systems -- combatants and non combatants -- will become blurred... advanced forms of biological warfare that can ‘target’ specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.”

Is Our Adults Learning?

As 09.09.09 draws to a close, I find myself paraphrasing my own previously paraphrased Bush statement/thought bubble: “The United States does NOT torture”...(but WE do...). It's suddenly obvious why all the pundits who railed against the Teacher Guides that were sent out prior to Obama's speech to schoolchildren screamed so loud...

“Hey, that's OUR job!”.

As I realized at the close of the 20th century, 999 is the number analog tape decks (at least tape decks 10 years ago) rewind to when cued up to in order to begin from 000. At the time, I thought that much more interesting then 999 being 666 upside down. Luckily no one accused me of promoting the Antichrist or satanism as Y2K bore down on a transfixed world, but I certainly saw far more evil hands were busy stacking the deck behind the alcohol haze of "0's" and "1's" that no one really wanted to see.

And they're busy still.

999!, or as Brad Pitt might say: “YES! YES! YES!” I'm sure he would agree that more than Mercury is retrograde until the 29th, and that at least 9 of the 19 words in the talking point memo pictured above are biased and used only to support an agenda. EXACTLY what everyone objecting to the teacher guides encouraging students to speak their minds, were afraid of only days before the 9th anniversary of 9/11.

This is called projection, and it's just one of the tools that those who stacked the deck, built a house of cards, and then destroyed it on national TV, used in order to have their way with us for 9 years, and to bring us to this very point.

Where no one can ask WHY.

WHY?

What they may NOT realize is that 999 rezeroes everything, and that today, anyone can see the simple truth that some cable news celebrities do nothing but provide preparatory spin prior to the “news”, and nothing but closing spin afterwards; the very thing they fear is being done to them by EVERYONE THAT DISAGREES. A truth finally exposed for all to see.

Tonight, Cable News is irrelevant, and not a moment too soon. Exhausted as any unlucky player sent onto the field by a mistaken coach, we're read the 24/7 infotainment cue cards that tell us all we need to know about the big game by coaches that lost our trust long ago. Thus, our exhaustion is no mistake, and luck has nothing to do with the outcome; a continuous score as heavily invested in as ratings or a paycheck - both more important to those who trumpet headlines that end with question marks than the truth about the danger their audience may actually be in by following the judas goat, or how close we all really are to discovering what means more than either. If you die; cannon fodder in the biblical "War For Men's Minds" - looking to them while they are "looking out for you" - it will be no accident.

REZERO yourself. Turn them ALL off.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I was busy today too.

Death To America (Part Four)

Exalted Fleetlord Thuthalan's interstellar conveyance; the 33rd Emperor Tholeran, arrives above the Chinese city of Deqing to establish the People's Republic of the Cosmos, and preside over the SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY ceremonies when the PRC flag is raised above the lesser capitols of the planet -- starting with Washington DC on September 20th, 2009.



Many had thought the United States would be the country that finally disclosed the existence of extra-terrestrials, but those same alien beings had become disgusted with the very deception the last superpower had been encouraged to practice, even upon it's own citizens. In the end, America had been betrayed as it had betrayed everyone else. As it had betrayed itself. The land of the free finally turned out to be anything but.

National Vacation Lampoon

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Even HUSTLER has shrugged, with Larry Flynt calling for a national strike; a day that the American people refuse to support a government that no longer "supports" them. And he did it without calling anyone names, or strapping on a loaded gun. Last week, I had suggested one week to my campaign manager, but perhaps such a strike should last till the Obama's return, or until The DAILY SHOW and The Colbert Report; two other true American successes that truly deserve some time off, are back on the air.

Gonna be a long 3 weeks.

: (



My Name is Michael Sterling. Which blockbuster will YOU see on September 11th?

111th!

I need a vacation.

LABEL DAY UPDATE (9.4.9): With the national debate reduced to: "Can the President of the United States be trusted to speak to school children?", I offer another iParty solution: Obama switches speeches and delivers his "Education" speech to congress, and his "Healthcare" speech to public school students.

“It's the first day of school fella's”

What did we know,

and when did we know it?

Tonight, Greta Van Susteren insists there will be "blood on the floor" in an upcoming (R) on (R) Texas governor race, describing her guest's opponents as already "coming out swinging", and aiming "right between the eyes", in spite of her guest's repeated attempts to tamp down such violent language.

What's that got to do with DISCLOSURE and the end of the world?

It's why we won't be discussing DISCLOSURE or the end of the world for the rest of the summer.

FOX NEWS is sooo busted. AND culpable when that blood is actually spilled.

Here's what I'd like to see for the rest of the summer - my CHALLENGE to the mighty warrior tribes of Cable News - Lawrence O'Donnell on The Factor, Jonathan Turley on Hannity, Jonathan Alter & Richard Wolffe on GLENN BECK, Melissa Harris-Lacewell on ON THE RECORD. Tonya Reiman on COUNTDOWN, Dick Morris on The ED Show, Michelle Malkin on The Rachel Maddow Show, Frank Luntz & Charles Krauthammer on HARDBALL.

Mix & Match guests to hosts as necessary, but only FOX on MSNBC and vice versa.

CNN can handle all the twitter traffic / facebook response and Johnathan King can post continuous updates & comments on their "Magic Wall".



I DARE YOU.

My Name is Michael Sterling. All right... here's something about the end of the world.

In "SPIN STATE" - a sci-fi stunner written by an author born in the same year 2001: A space odyssey was released - a Quantum Era future is described using terms like pre-migration earth, the evacuation, the embargo, and yes, euth wards. It is a future that despite it's awesome technological advances, discovers the basis of that technology is a non-renewable resource. A dying resource. That, however, is not the similarity to our world that leaps off the page at a reader who has taken a break from Town Hall TV. In this passage, one can see the fear driving anyone who fears “the other”, and operates on a “not one of us” basis. Where that fear leads, and the failures it produces.

In this world, we should pay attention to what fails before we all find out too late, what was truly too big to fail.

“It was not enough to say they didn't believe in freedom. They had, as their political philosophers were endlessly proclaiming, evolved beyond it. Only when Li met her first postbreakaway constructs in the interrogation rooms on Gilead did she begin to understand this. They seemed to belong to some other species, one that had nothing to do with humans. The first ten identical prisoners came in, and people commented on them, wondered about them, perhaps even felt sorry for them. Then the next hundred, the next thousand, the next three thousand arrived, and the wondering turned to fear and revulsion. Words failed in the face of such cold, impersonal, mass-produced perfection. Compassion failed. Belief in the universality of human nature failed. Everything failed.”

Chris Moriarty

Emphasis added.

Well, back to SPIN STATE: 23.8.09

At the Fall (The Coldest War)

“For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They had built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked... and talked... and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled, the cities exploded... Whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear... Men began to feed on men...”

Terry Hayes & George Miller

The gloves have come off... and not just because it's easier to grab the money that way.

Right-Wing, Left-Wing, both part of the same Beast endangering all in their tiny town halls below; the leaderless arguing... and arguing... and arguing... until their Rage devours them all.

And...
WHAT!?!?

The New National Pastime

What could be more horrific than watching De Niro as Al Capone, gaining the trust of his cronies during a pep talk conducted with a baseball bat for emphasis? A deception that ends when that same bat is brought down full force on an unsuspecting thug's skull. Answer? Watching someone "sitting in" for Glenn beck, ranting at anti-stimulus graphics using a BASEBALL BAT as a pointer.

A real jaw-dropper. Whether he was pointing or not, it was clear that he was armed and dangerous.

Like the members of Capone's dinner party that didn't have their brains splashed across the china, the FOX NEWS audience has given their trust and allegiance to a 24/7 pep talk, perhaps with the guilt-ridden hope that the mortal blow will be dealt to someone else. Someone not part of "the team".

Their team.

And there's nothing MSNBC can do about it. With the slanderous “tin-foil hat” name-calling of the Birthers, Matthews to Maddow have sunk to the same level as the propaganda they were the only factual response to; losing their pre-impersonation integrity, and anyone not on "their" team in the process.

Two idiot armies, ready to fight America's 4th Civil War. The first conflict, fought to abolish slavery. The 2nd, to keep those free slaves from having the civil rights that proved they were actually free. The third battle was against the Hippies and all those who discovered, championed, then actually practiced Higher Consciousness during summers of Love. Now, those who lost the first three (but refuse to admit it, and fight on) have pitted us against ourselves. A battle a hidden third party is determined to win, no matter who suffers this time. A war someone will have to lose no matter what.

With commentators drawing down on each other like a really bad alternate ending to Reservoir Dogs, is it any wonder that the American viewer; conditioned to unconsciously mimic what they see on TV and accept same as true, have assumed the worst and are determined to "get theirs" before someone else does?

The only reason the Donny Deutsch of FOX NEWS switched to a less threatening Hannity-like baseball when he signed off without saying his name, may have been an intern or producer shouting: “Jesus!, lose the bat! Sterling may be watching.”

Little comfort to a single Mom awaiting word from the hospital about her oldest son; himself a victim of a thug with a baseball bat.

Mercifully, she wouldn't have been watching Glenn Beck.



That's my job.

My Name is Michael Sterling. Here endeth the lesson.

POP QUIZ

Is this image racist? Right-Wing? Left-Wing? Birther? Anti-Obama?, an insult to Heath Ledger? All of the above? None of the above?

Or is it just a tweaked version of the anonymous poster that's popping up in Los Angeles?

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I approved the improvement.

America Goes Down

I once pointed out the horror of Administration officials fleeing to their helicopter when advanced upon by suddenly dangerous zombies out for revenge. The look of frozen panic on Obama's representatives confronted by Town Hell yellers is almost as bad. Trickle-down insult has made it's way to the bottom and is rising like a clogged toilet. Even Rachel Maddow doesn't look quite sure of her safety on her own set as she reports on 'the horror' she herself helped encourage.

George W. Bush ran on "changing the tone" in Washington.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

The Founding Fathers made provisions to keep the 'mob' from decisions they weren't capable of making. Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and those they've whipped into sudden dangerousness, are finally proving them right - though in their distraction - they fail to see the real danger.

Going Rog(ue)atory

“Well I got a couple of thousand goddamn questions, you know.”

Now that Orly Taitz has leveled the playing field to “Your fake online document is more fake than our fake online document”, we can get to the real questions someone doesn't wanted answered, much less asked.

What if the President Of The United States was born in Kenya?

What if the President Of The United States is an Indonesian Citizen?

What if the President Of The United States is a British subject?

What passport did the President Of The United States use when he was 20, and shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?

If all of the above IS just a diversion, shouldn't we really be finding out what the true threat is?

My Name is Michael Sterling. 1,995 to go...

MSNBC: The Smart Mop of Cable News

In these tough times...

So begins a new Smart Mop campaign worthy of THE MGT that advocates mopping up a spilled soft drink so efficiently that you can squeeze the lost soda back into your glass and drink it.

Drink it.

So much for the 5-second rule. Thrown under the bus along with "innocent until proven guilty" and "finishing your term" in elected office.

When next the Smart Mop attacked ketchup, mustard, and sand spilled on that very same floor, I found myself holding my breath, waiting to see if they would shake out the recovered summer-time debris on some beach-goer's hot dog.

EAT IT.

Maybe next week.

Next week. When those Iranians who don't believe the man being sworn in as President deserves the title, will once again, risk life and limb to protest his assuming office when they don't believe he qualifies. After an election they don't think he won.

And in America - bastion of freedom of the press - how are we dealing with the very same problem?

FOX NEWS kept America from paying attention to the men behind the curtain for 8 years, but in only 6 months, they have Beta-tested the new Republican strategy of obstructing Obama (JUST SAY NAY) until 2012 when they can point to the "failure" they caused and then return to power.

“The stimulus will NOT work” has already become: “The stimulus is working, but FOR HOW LONG?”

BITCH, BITCH, BITCH. Obama could capture the leader of "The Base" single-handedly and kick his ass all the way back to DC, and FOX VIEWS would find some way to complain about it in order to rally the base of the party that called us a nation of whiners.

42 more months Americans will suffer at the hands of those who couldn't care less.

REPEATING: WHO NEEDS AL-QAEDA?

MSNBC however, may have done even more damage in just over 6 days. In that time, Chris Matthews pretends to have stumbled on the "Birther movement", quickly linking it to the 9-11 Truthers, thus proving the tactics used against Ron Paul during the campaign (Giuliani, Thompson, et al...) are still virulent. Especially when denigrating those who would question what they're told with every demoralizing elementary school playground name you can call a 4th Grader, and a few modern ones few baby-boomers deserve. Especially those that grew up being taught that Soviet "purges" were proof enough of an Evil Empire.

MSNBC.

MSNBC. Where two rabid Anti-Birther 3rd stringers query a guest's assertion that the new GI:JOE film doesn't depict the american hero of that name. He even went as far as to lament the lack of Hollywood releases showing our soldiers in a heroic light. Donny Deutsch disagreed violently claiming the opposite, but couldn't come up with any titles when pressed. Deutsch could only call his guest IGNORANT because of his "unpatriotic" claim. One Donny KNEW was wrong though he KNEW nothing. The Guest went on to reveal that GI:JOE was now an acronym for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity. Operating out of Brussels.

HARD BREAK.

Then back to Michael Jackson's doctor-shopping. NO MENTION of Rush Limbaugh's expertise and experience in that area, or his drug aliases.

PURGE IS AS PURGE DOES.

But Rachel Maddow should know better. Not what she was, she has followed the rest of MSNBC's ON-AIR personalities into the darkness previously occupied only by the name-callers at FOX NEWS. MSNBC; having linked Truthers to Birthers, Birthers to Obama's Birth Certificate, and legislation to demand Birth Certificates of future Presidents to treason, is actually chasing down Elected Officials on Capitol Hill and demanding ON-AIR statements of fealty to Obama in the best Bill O'Reilly fashion. A despicable tactic originally exposed by MSNBC. Rachel unfortunately, takes it a step further, and actually compares Birthers to those who have seen Bigfoot.

"Exposing" a congressional letter sent to her, she fails to see the difference between the sentences in red and those in grey, intimating that they are of equal importance, and those who don't agree have been warned. Reporting reduced to opposing "variations on a theme", with the theme more important than the variations and the facts they may contain.

Read it and decide for youself.

Before being elected president, then-Senator Barack Obama was plagued with questions about whether or not he is a natural-born citizen of the United States as the Constitution requires. To refute these claims, the Obama campaign in June of 2008 released a certification of live birth stating Barack Obama was born in the State of Hawaii in 1961.

Before giving birth, the suits claim, President Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father, but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, and therefore, gave birth to the president in Kenya.

At the time of birth, the suits contend, President Obama's father was a Kenyan citizen subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, thus handing down British citizenship to the president, while his mother was a minor at the time of birth, too young to confer American citizenship.

Moreover, critics argue, his grandmother claims to have been present at the birth in Kenya. Other suits claim that even if the president was born in the United States, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia.

As a historical matter, U.S. citizenship can be forfeited upon undertaking of the various acts including naturalization in a foreign state.

Rachel, NO JOB IS WORTH BETRAYING SLAVES TO THEIR MASTERS. Not even if doing so results in a loosening of your own chains.

None of the above is funny.

The original pre-inaugural Berg suit was brought solely to keep Republican attention from the possibility that everything Barack Obama accomplishes is forfeit at a moments notice. Attention that MSNBC has cornered the market on. A lot can happen before we get to "throw the bums out" again, but the race to bring down the Obama Administration while bringing in the chaos and crackdown that will follow appears to have begun in earnest.

BITE ME.

The founders of this country demanded freedom of the press so that their descendants could continue to QUESTION AUTHORITY, not to enable tyrants; petty or otherwise, to punish them for doing so.

It is a strategy that still works.

Stephen Colbert can still "rail" as only he can, at the "tough times" comparison of Barack Obama to Herbert Hoover: “You can't compare Hoover to Obama. Hoover wasn't BORN IN KENYA!”, and then challenge the Colbert Nation to find the truth for themselves.

They will. They too have been warned.



Much will happen before 2012. I guarantee IT. As for the "news", you might want to consider where it's been before you swallow any more of it.

BOLDLY GOING NOWHERE

If FOX NEWS had been around to cover Kennedy's speech that committed the United States to landing on the Moon, we would have never left the ground. Imagine what they would have done to Barack Obama if he had stood with Collins, Aldrin, and Armstrong, and committed the United States to establishing a Martian Colony to ensure the survival of the Human Race.

None of the droogs in the "WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE" bunch, no matter what logo they serve under, mentions the Elephant that has refused to leave the room for four decades - that we could have been celebrating an American presence on the Red Planet with a live broadcast from ZUBRIN BASE, instead of waxing nostalgic over what we haven't done since "THEY'RE ON THE MOON!" flashed across scoreboards everywhere.

Not to worry. America is going nowhere. Especially not today.

Except where Walter Cronkite said in his later years: “It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order. But the American colonies did it once and brought forth one of the most nearly perfect unions the world has ever seen.”

The most trusted man in America.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and that's the way it is.

24 hours later - Not a single mention of Apollo 11, or even the future of the manned space program. Just a news cycle full of evidence and proof that Earth's days are indeed numbered - with no backup plan in place. Perhaps, that alone, the biggest failure of the superpower that "won" the Space Race.

*July 14, 2009. A United States Senator asks a Supreme Court nominee during her confirmation hearings if she thinks 'we are at war', and she DOES NOT answer: “Senator, the Constitution states that only Congress can declare war. Have you and your colleagues done so?”

Anyone care about that?

Or this... where was the continuous coverage of Charles Bolden's confirmation as the new head of NASA? An event fraught with opportunities for DISCLOSURE of what Obama's transition team found when they looked "under the hood"... before all the "lost" footage is served up on the 20th.

Kubrick postponed "A.I." until better CGI could be applied to a story that would be less believable without it. NASA has had 40 years to prepare their proof of a story that some find hard to believe.

Death To America (Part Three)

WHO DO YOU WANT TO FAIL TODAY?

WHY?

Benedict Arnold. Enemies foreign & domestic. A name and a concept burned into every American's mind from the first day they open an American History textbook in Elementary School - and yet - today there is a "news channel" whose "commentators" oppose the President of the United States and his policies, and encourage their audience to do the same, 24/7. Often before we know what those policies are.

Perhaps, regardless of what those policies are.

Those they enable, all but calling the President a coward when he was the sole American with the courage to speak to the Muslim world and the people of Iran first. Before his enemies began hinting at his weakness and timidity. Before the very event they claim shows his passivity.

I need not name these new Benedict Arnolds. They know who they are, and you do too, but I will give a name to their not so hidden agenda whether they are paid by CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, CNBC, or MSNBC.

TEA (Tear Everything Apart) TV.

Termite TV.

The morning hours from 3 until dawn are too precious to waste, but anyone that stayed up to give the Supreme Leader the same chance they gave Barack Obama, now knows which one is bat-sh!t crazy, and why the other should at least be given the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, the horror of seeing an unholy man explain why the elections could not have been rigged - BECAUSE THEY WERE LEGAL - can only be replaced with "The horror, the horror" of seeing the Liz Cheney justification for torture sail over the heads of those frantically trying to explain the importance of unverified twitter footage or an undercut leader of the free world's 'declining' poll numbers.

The Ayatollah would be a Republican if he didn't already have a better gig.

Even more horrible, is the deluge of continuous commercials and the chance to see the same thing, back-to-back, four times in a row, that news-hungry Americans are subjected to without realizing that THAT is how you really steal an election, put down a protest, maintain absolute power.

Or tear a country apart from within.

The day after the Berg beheading, I showed my father a "WAR ON TERRA" image so provocative - so demoralizing - so true, I had to promise him I would NEVER use it, and I never have. Now however, with yet another Berg sticking his neck out, I think Dad would agree with my statement about what History's newest traitors are doing to the flag he fought for, and understand why I'm going to leave it up for all to see.

Why America Cannot Object

“Freedom is the right to do that which the law allows.”

“What is the worst thing to me in all this are comments made in the name of human rights and freedom and liberty made by American officials. They said that we are worried about Iranian nations. WHAT? Are you serious? Do you KNOW what human rights are? Who did that in Afghanistan? The wars and bloodshed. Who is crushing Iraq under its soldier’s boots? In Palestine? Who supported the Zionists? Even inside America, during the time of the Democrats, time of Clinton, 80 people were burned alive in Waco? Now you are talking about human rights?”

How WILL SecState Hillary Clinton answer any of these questions?

How will YOU?

My Name is Michael Sterling. Don't go shouting “God Is Great! Death to the Dictator*!” around here.

I will.

*Good night to watch EQUILIBRIUM. The fight for freedom starts from within.

Knight At The Museum

House Bush was big on the New World Order, Crusades, drawing lines in the sand, and labelling anyone on the other side enemies.

Why are we surprised that after their strategic retreat, the supporters they left behind have drawn that same line inside America, perhaps at our own feet?

Your feet.

“Remember, the Federal Reserve Act (1913) gave JEWS control of America’s MONEY. Followed by control of America’s main sources of information.

Early on, during the war-torn 20th Century, the only broadcast networks : ABC, CBS, and NBC — were JEW owned. Today, JEWS control ALL important sources of information (The major networks, Newspapers, Magazines, Book-publishing, Tin-Pan Alley, Music & Recording Industry, Hollywood, Encyclopedia Britannica, Public schools and Universities, the Catholic Church, etc.).

Bit by bit Liberalism ascended. Bit by bit the Constitution was re-interpreted. Bit by bit government institutions and Congressmen fell into JEW hands — then U.S. diplomacy, businesses, resources and manpower came under JEW control.

Whitemen sat on their collective asses and did NOTHING - NOTHING BUT TALK. Never before in World history has a Nation so completely been conquered with absolutely NO physical resistance.

Whites LOVE their Enemies.

Today, on the World stage, Whitemen are LAUGHED AT, their women bred by stronger men.

And America ?

America is a Third-World racial garbage-dump — stupid, ignorant, dead-broke, and terminal.

Whitey a little strong for you? Here's how the original authors put it: “TOB SHEBBE GOYIM HAROG!”

Better yet, allow me to take the “hate” out of the speech, so that only the warning remains.

Father Of Daughters

1:11.

As promised, Obama speaks to the Muslim world, and he spoke as you would expect a father fearful for his Daughters future to speak. A man determined to do something about that very future.

If you watched the mother of all speeches live, how many minutes passed before you realized George W. Bush couldn't even have come close? Or John McCain? Sarah Palin? Mitt Romney? Rush Limbaugh? Sean Hannity?

Anybody? No? Then STFU!

We may actually have a President (did I say that out loud?) that by definition is the opposite of an Ugly American - and having stolen any thunder Osama Bin-Laden had left, politely cleaned the clocks of the disloyal opposition, and extremists* from Boehner & Gingrich, to Coulter & Malkin. If he now chooses to put his feet up while the Great Satan tears itself apart on Cable NEWS and Talk Radio, he will have done his best, and we will deserve the fate we make.

insert ‘Brazil’ theme here...

As has been said of Amused To Death, this speech wasn't a masterpiece. It was another masterpiece.

Especially this line.

“Be conscious of God, and speak always the Truth.”



It's a whole new ballgame, and it started at 1:11.

My Name is Michael Sterling. Peace be upon the new owner of a Father Of Daughters TEE. You know who you are.

*Only hours before the President proved he was the leader of the Free World, I had finished Harry Turtledove's "The Man With The Iron Heart"; an alternative history where the Nazi SS, though defeated, carried on an insurgency for years after V-E Day against the occupying Allies. Military Sci-Fi written to mirror the results of the occupation of Iraq, but which reads even more like a description of post-Obama America - where defeated Republicans; refusing to play by the rules - are still trying to cause the President of the United States (and anyone that doesn't agree with them) to fail. Something even the author probably failed to imagine.

Even on a day like today.

Bigger Eichmanns

Churchill was right. Ward Churchill.

We now have a new list of those who were just following orders. A list of human beings content to torture other human beings because those in authority had told them it was acceptable to do so. A list that grows by the hour as those who hid behind the Bush Administration scramble like centipedes whose rock they were comfortable living beneath has been knocked aside.

Sean Hannity has proclaimed that waterboarding doesn't even hurt, and when cornered with his own words by a comedian that got the best of DeNiro, claims he'd do it for charity.

Keith Olbermann has tonight called Hannity's bully-pulpit bluff, and pledged a thousand dollars for every second the fool lasts, setting in motion a ratings war more horrific than watching pre-bailout Detroit iron tear apart "enemy" combatants in a post-pandemic Las Vegas.

Stephen King was right too.

The Torture Everyone America parties are next, and neither Stephen or Ward are responsible for the nightmare they did their best to warn us about.

Has your "AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!" bumper sticker come back to haunt you?

Would the office workers who were told to stay at their desks or LOSE THEIR JOBS as Tower One burned, gladly tell their bosses to "take this job and shove it!", if given another chance? If they knew what we know today?

Stephen Colbert can focus the country like a laser beam on the insanity of our circumstances when reporting that Texas wants to secede from the United States by stating the obvious: “Hey Oklahoma. Better get started on that border fence!”

Brilliant.

FOX NEWS* is where you go for opinions. MSNBC is where you get the facts. Comedy Central is where you find the truth.

I once said: “...the United States could end the ‘War On Terror’ overnight if it showed the rest of the world that the policies of the Bush administration are history, and that the people now in power had nothing to do with the inhumane actions of a President unfairly installed by the Supreme Court six years ago.”

The second half of that non-bully no-pulpit bluff was: “...the President of the United States should (then) look the leader of whatever country is threatening us in the eye and ask: ‘What exactly do you mean when you say DEATH TO AMERICA?’!”

Preferrably on LIVE TV. WORLDWIDE.

Not following through with the second half of my strategy, has only ensured that Barack Obama will have to ask that question of the real threat to an America that used to stand for something. Americans. Americans who lost. Americans who would rather torture the other guy than admit it.

“REMEMBER THE COLBERT!”

NASA holds a contest to name Node-3 on the International Space Station. The name “Colbert” beats “Serenity” by 40,000 votes when 230,539 people vote for Stephen Colbert. NASA's response is to ignore the results as FOX NEWS did when Ron Paul beat his opponents by double-digits in THEIR own polls. Unfortunately, someone thinks it will be funny to name a toilet after Colbert instead.

Possibly the same people who think that an Atheist cannot petition to have the word “God” removed from future Inaugural Addresses, or a Brigadier General cannot question whether a foreign-born President has, in fact, already been sworn in as Commander-In-Chief, because both have “no standing”.

Who's left?

It's sickening, especially when you think about what is coming to the tv entranced millions. You're not in such a good place on the planet if things get stupid, as you know they will. I love San Diego, but it lacks sufficient water to support the local population if (when) the grid goes down. Once the microchip ID becomes mandatory (Obama health care system will bring it), then there's no where to hide in the USA, or anywhere on this continent. In Ecuador I saw those same towers that are popping up everwhere I look here, as well. They are taking tv off of the airwaves to make room for microchip ID tracking, and these new towers are part of that system. I know the system is global, but hopefully in a third world country, they won't be as organized as they are here. There are people in those mountains (Andes) who were born at home and whom no one knows exists. In this country there is not a person who is not numbered and tracked. Consider getting ready to get out of here. I tell that to everyone I care about. If I can help anyone relocate to Ecuador, I will, but first I have to convince my own family to relocate. There's plenty of farm land and fresh water there. It could be just a pipe dream, but I need some kind of hope to cling to.

The Hollow Prize

“You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel.”

Israeli spokeswoman

The real reason the 2nd attack BUSH/CHENEY “protected” us from is just around the corner.

Ask yourself these two questions UNASKED BY EVERYONE from Hannity to Maddow (sorry Rach). If BUSH/CHENEY gained the most from there NOT being a "mass-casualty attack" on their watch, who is more invested than them in one happening now that will prove them blameless and right all along?

If Rush Limbaugh wants the President to fail, what does Dick Cheney have in mind for the United States Of Obama?


“Economic crises have been produced by us for the goyim by no other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation.”

Protocols of Zion -20

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I hope I've stated the truly unthinkable simply enough. Like WTC7 before it, someone has assigned the United States the same fate with the same two words. PULL IT!

Who knew?

“What's the difference between BUSH/CHENEY protecting America from another 9-11, and O.J. Simpson looking for the ‘real’ killer?”

I caught Thomas P.M. Barnett giving his NEW MAP briefing AT THE PENTAGON where he preached to the choir about why we were going to war and why we'd KEEP going to war, and was stunned to see the hidden message in the timeline he used. Starting with 9-11; which he described as a Gordian Knot blow - GOOD when Alexander did it - against America, delivered by those who could strike in no other way, he showed how Bush delivered his own attack on the entire Middle East and a possible Caliphate (not to mention seizing another country's oil fields - BAD when Saddam did it - and building mega-bases in the heart of that possible Caliphate) with the invasion of Iraq. All this presented as a good thing. Looking at the graphic depicting these twin axe attacks on the splintering door of History however, one immediately saw the actual link between 9-11 and the invasion of Iraq. The latter wasn't possible without the former, and those who stood to gain from one, gained from the other.

“We'll need a WAR-TIME President. We'll need a War. We'll need a REASON for the War.”

Seven years later, it all makes perfect sense, especially when the BUSH/CHENEY post-game wrap-up consists solely of reminding us that we haven't been attacked since. A statement they may have KNOWN they could make all that time.

Didn't anyone see "W"? Doesn't anyone remember the man that would play Cheney bragging about having his wire hangers made in China in "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"?

Or Brando's farewell to HIS Captain Bligh?

“You remarkable Pig. You can thank whatever Pig God you pray to that you haven't turned me into a murderer.”

Like a terrorized Wendy Torrance shrieking behind her splintering door, America has been traumatized by the unthinkable reality of who is actually wielding the axe.



The Stockholm Syndrome on Acid. BAD Acid.

I don't know Barack Obama, but I'm troubled by the fact that when Ron Paul was asked if there was ANY hope that the things he campaigned against might change and a better America might come to pass, he just shook his head and delivered the ugly truth. Such a change for the better could only come from better people in Congress, and there just weren't any. He didn't append: “Except for Barack Obama.”

I might be able to hang out with Barack for an hour or two, but that, is just what those who voted for George W. Bush thought about the future war criminal they made the most powerful man in the world; an executioner made mass murderer by those who calculated that 3,000+ American lives were acceptable collateral damage for getting their way for two terms.

DETECT A PATTERN?

We should all think twice about gratefully following his polar-opposite replacement; the obvious choice such a group would offer us after 8 years of disaster if they wanted their way for the NEXT two terms. CHANGE blinding us to all the things that are staying the same.


“...the dishonesty of the narrative.”

Problem. Reaction. Solution.

SO.

What if an Artist ran for President?

5,197 American soldiers HAVE NOT been killed in occupied Iraq.

iparty.ms continues to be supported by McCain's webmaster (as good a person to name a Starship after as I have yet not to meet. Not to worry, Saikowski Station, the CHEN, Science Vessel BEATTIE, and the USS AKINS are all being built as we speak). The iParty Blog ended up linked to 911 Truth and the Paradigm Research Group, and I've added the new TRIGGERS: COSMIC & Otherwise, which I may continue to add to (if Sarah Palin is serious about her Media Malpractice madness, SOUTH PARK will take care of her. Richard Lewis can take on anyone else). I was even able to return to the previous HOLLOW DAYS to update "We Do Not Torture", with the truth over a year later; NOT too long to be proven right. The Neoprotocols got me an invitation to Phoenix's Mountain Temple Halloween Party from Brother Blue himself, and running knowing you can't win (dance although EVERYONE is watching), may have gotten me my credit on the first (there will be another) assumptions album.

SARAH PALIN IS NOT VICE-PRESIDENT.

:)


Running for President IS it's own reward, but there was a moment where I wondered if the sacrifices I'd made had been worth it. My best, NOT good enough. One feeling I know I share with both George W. Bush and Barack Obama*.

"What if an Artist ran for President", might have ended up being answered with: "He couldn't even save his own neighbors..."

So MY closure finally comes, with a vindicating email I recently received from a remarkable woman I came to know as "R for Relentless":

Uchh. Makes me ill. Selling our kids out for the almighty buck. I did not see that article. Thanks for sending it.... or should I say don't show me any more stuff like that?!! I just lose sleep over it!

I was out of town for 2 weeks and just got back last week. I recently heard your message and have been meaning to touch base with you. Thanks for your kind (and funny) words.

Yes, we won!

The application for our site was permanently withdrawn. It happened right after we notified them we had an attorney on the case, although I believe they were already realizing there was more opposition than they originally thought.

Who knows if the monster will rear its ugly head again down the road. For now, it is over and I'm going back to being just a mom (wink).

Happy healthy new year to you and your mom.

Warm regards,

I based my contribution to the Good Fight on Rod Serling's "monsters" that came to Maple Street. Neighbors, who threatened by an invisible fear, a nameless Panic, ultimately turned on themselves when they couldn't find a real enemy. To the never-ending credit of those who defended Stresemann & Lamas, that didn't happen here, and THAT may be the Hope that will define the next two terms.

"Lawyering up" may be the solution in the old world of compound interest, usury, fractional-reserve banking, credit ratings, rent, TRUST FUNDS, and monthly bills with their life-threatening penalties - but Art, perfect Freedom, and the Soul that is Their true home, will be the currency in the new world to come where Love will be the only Law. Home, wherever you are. A world perhaps already here. Three years away at the most.

* One last thing about Obama - the only good thing I'll say for now. During the Alfred Smith Dinner where DC's elite gathered to see McCain and Obama make fun of each other, I watched as the nasty side came out of the Senator from Arizona. Funny himself, he couldn't help wading into the deep & dirty "More American than You" waters his running mate would eventually jump into fouling them even more, as he got laughs with jokes designed to set the bar way too high for Obama who would follow him. Jokes that didn't bring humor to his eyes. Laughter, though real, that didn't last. Brought NO JOY to the hearts assembled. Hearts that hungered for more, not less. A disingenuous routine that only made me uncomfortable. It was good to see him lighten up even though it only revealed his real goal; not to make people laugh, but to make his opponent look bad. Obama didn't just clear the bar - he sailed over it like it wasn't even there - and everyone, McCain included, breathed an audible sigh of relief as they finally got to see what they had been waiting for. Maybe things began to turn around at that very moment, and Obama will sail over the obstacles placed in his way since just as easily.

If so, I, and those like me, may finally STAND DOWN, "turn the page", and welcome the new Administration. Forgive us if our caution is kind of like Jeremiah Johnson saying "HOW" to an Indian.

If he's as cool as those who have finally won - all those that are hungry still - hope he is, he'll understand.

PEACE BE UPON HIM.

A Tale Of Two Brothers

“No one wants to hear the truth.”

The most beautiful woman in Glendora told me that back in the 70's, and she was right.

“What is truth?”; the three words that condemned Jesus, have been shortened to three syllables for the ironic Post-Modern World... “Whatever!”

Post-Modern Irony is NOT my term. I heard it during the Hollow Days after being asked how “I was doing”. I may have been mistaken trying to answer with the fact that “Your Money Or Your Life”; the grisly game-show from TIME BANDITS, was pretty much “all TV / all the time” 17 years later. My mistake may have been in answering at all. Though not interrupted by the proclamation that THAT was “Post-Modern Irony”, my attempt to point out that whatever you labeled it, DEAL OR NO DEAL, The Biggest Loser, or Are You Smarter than A 5th Grader?, was not what Terry Gilliam had in mind. A mind that may have been warning against a world that need not have come to pass. A point subtly negated by the Holiday Spirit and someone who just wanted to change the subject.

A world that is definitely here.

STAY TUNED for the HOMELAND SECURITY USA and American Idol marathons, followed back to back by the new Surveillance Channel, GAZA LIVE!, and the COPS/LOCKDOWN bundle.

“God Damn America”? That's OUR job!

Someone finally step-framed the footage of Barney Bush nicking a reporter that got too close, and the bared teeth behind the cuddliness we assume we are about to pet, was exposed at last.

William Ayers was finally interviewed on Cable News AFTER the election. Asked over and over again by the Billy Mays of MSNBC if he was repentant, or wanted to confess on NATIONAL TV to the acts that allowed Sarah Palin to accuse Barack Obama of palling around with Terrorists before it was revealed that she herself, had been palling around with OxyContin Junkies, Ayers continued to push for a chance to speak to a larger picture. The slavering Chris Matthews may have had a point as he had been a Capitol policeman during the time of the bombings in question, but he had no right to bludgeon his guest solely to get the one answer he wanted (WE DO NO TORTURE. Unless...). Ayers finally succeeded where Ward Churchill had failed before him, and got a reluctantly civil Matthews to ask what had struck the "Domestic Terrorist" most about the "historic" campaign. William Ayer's answer: “the dishonesty of the narrative” dropped News Anchor's jaws everywhere, and took the words right out of my mouth.

I don't believe he's been interviewed since.

There is much this hope-addicted country* desperately doesn't want to hear; itself, a subject of inquiry if there ever was one, but asking questions has been replaced with not looking for answers, or not allowing them to be asked in the first place.

After all, “What is truth?” might open an inconvenient dialogue when “Whatever...” is such an easy way to avoid a discussion entirely.

Especially when “Your Money, THEN Your Life” is on.

“Whatever!”


*Perhaps the most taboo of subjects avoided over Thanksgiving to New Year visits and dinners, was the POSSIBILITY that handing over the Presidency and the reins of the country to Barack Obama is unconstitutional, and will be the last trip through the shredder for our Constitution, and the last nail in the coffin of the Country envisaged by those who actually wrote it.

The Supreme Court refuses to rule on the constitutionality of Barack Obama being sworn in - keeping that very issue for later when he balks at America's role in World war III - on the same day the NSA proclaims there was no American foreknowledge of the attack on Pearl Harbor that triggered our role in World War II.

Midnight at the Red Prawn Inn

Santa Claus DOES NOT say: "LET'S ROLL!"!!!

If you believe he does, you're probably still waiting to bury your coins in the Field Of Miracles outside the Citi of Catchfools - glossy and replete after the feast thrown for you before you collapse into deep sleep awaiting a wake-up call that's two hours too late - even when you were warned two days early.

Governor Michael Rounds of South Dakota declares a state of emergency EXCEPT for the Lakotah Indian Reservation. So much for sovereignty other than yours. Just set back and watch your "THANK YOU SARAH PALIN!" football games. Maybe you'll even see the new CIA "Global" recruiting ad while drinking the all-american beer that McCain sold to the Belgians. Don't worry, you've got four years until you have to stick your head in the new double-coned voting machines the new voice of the Republican Party spoke in front of last week. You know, the ones legally married men & women can use to punch God's ticket together, and still KEEP their heads?

God Bless America, unless there's profit to be made behind her back.



JFK had a mistress that gave him LSD (23 times), and someone got her jealous ex to kill him for it. Not however, before he challenged us to go to the Moon, and asked us not to ask what the country could do for us, but what we could do for the country. Two statements that make perfect sense in light of that revelation...
45 years later! Who knows what things would look like if his consciousness had been allowed to expand instead of the back of his skull? All that appears to be left of his vision is wondering what our country can do to us next as we suffer through the blowback blues* instead of doing something about them - like asking "WHY?"

We've been told (and rightly so) that it's better to light a candle than to curse the Darkness, but the candles have all been hidden and don't even ask where the matches are.

Tyrant ka(R)ma may yet strike down all the Cats and Foxes - leaving them blind, lame, or just passed out at a podium from which their forked tongue was stopped by an invisible hand - hiding from the truth even the most wooden of puppets yearning for the humanity we all take for granted knew: “Stolen coins never bear fruit.”

* P.S. Thanksgiving; not your normal Thursday in November, is over once again, and I am one former Presidential Candidate who is thankful for Ward Churchill, Deepak Chopra, and the fact that no one was evil enough to give the murderers in Mumbai Obama T-Shirts. CNN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC. They all would have fallen for it. Especially Wolf Blitzer, Sean Hannity, and Chris Matthews. They've fallen for everything else.

P.P.S. It is now December 1st, and instead of a second anniversary post, I'll keep it short... and simple. Why is everyone calling Mumbai “India's 9-11”? Because it's as fabricated as ours. Let me know when Blitzer, Hannity, or Matthews (the Billy Mays of Cable News) reports THAT.

JFK was lucky.

We all have at least one more chance. BE THANKFUL.

THEY WILL BURY US

When all the good things in life disappeared

Got yourself a deal?

“The Federal Reserve warned on Thursday that a growing congressional threat to curtail its independence would destabilise markets and raise the cost of servicing US debt for “current and future generations”.

SOUND LIKE A THREAT TO YOU?

WALL STREET? MAIN STREET? Or SHAKEDOWN STREET?



What WOULD a "house negro" look like?

Also, why are all the "pundits" and "strategists" who LOST, still on TV stirring up the demoralizing slurry of hate, condescension, and derision Obama's victory should have ended for longer than a few days?

WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE JOBS unless that was their job (and still is) all along?

"The Result Justifies The Means"

Perhaps the one line at the heart of the Protocols, new or old, which justifies all the others.

“If Obama WAS born in the U.S., but automatically became an Indonesian citizen by virtue of his mother's marriage to her Indonesian husband and Obama's legal name change, he is ineligible to run for the presidency. Naturalized citizens are not eligible for the highest office in the land.”

Anyone that had even heard about the Berg lawsuit - actual citizens have "no standing" where the Constitution is concerned (“SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!”) - or the above quote, and voted for Barack Obama anyway, is now compromised by the masters of political deception and power; the very means and the result of those who now control the President-Elect of the United States.

“Pay no attention to the man still in the Oval Office.”

With the United States divided into two opposing camps, starting to tear and slash at each other as their champions near the nightly finish line, no one notices the hijacked blimp nosing over the rim of the stadium that America has become.

In Frankenheimer's "Black Sunday", the tortured former vietnam POW is flying the blimp, and truly has his enemies right where he wants them.

The next 14 days can only get worse. Hour by contentious hour, minute until final nerve-wracked minute. Watch who wants that. Profits from what may be our last Two-Minute Warning - the hardest HARD BREAK break of all.

Never Again

The first question to Sarah Palin last night should have been: “Do you think elected officials accused of criminality and corruption should be allowed to refuse to cooperate with the investigation into same, or ignore subpoenas?”

DEBATE OVER.

Apparently, while Congress was being threatened with being blamed for the official declaration of the Martial Law / EMERGENCY they had stumbled into, someone else must have been threatening to break Gwen Ifill's other foot.

Sarah Palin actually answered the "troopergate" question once she got the bit in her mouth - with her first signing statement* - and she should have been disqualified, asked to leave the stage, and never asked anything again, when she brazenly refused to follow the rules set forth by the moderator.

She's dirty, and no amount of prep will ever make her "clean up nice" now, so stop thinking about giving her a bath.

Someone had to say that.

I JUST DID.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I approved this message.

*PALIN: "I'm still on the tax thing because I want to correct you on that again. And I want to let you know what I did as a mayor and as a governor. And I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also".

The Fall of the Other Roman Empire

WASHINGTON, DC -- Under the martial law procedure, long-standing House rules that require at least one day between the unveiling of significant legislation and the House floor vote on that legislation so that Members can learn what they are being asked to vote on are swept away.

Instead, under "martial law," the Leadership can file legislation with tens or hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted into the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure that the Leadership intends to use to muscle through important bills in the next two days.

HEADS He Won / TAILS You Lost

The Unpredictable Moment

Right up there with the "imminent something", and "upscale everything".

Bill Clinton was on THE DAILY SHOW (DEBT to AMERICA!) last night, and he began to lay out the conditions which, if met, would guarantee passage of the bill that would seal the deal on the 700 billion bail-out. I found myself holding my breath, CERTAIN he was about to say: “Condition number 1, George Bush and Dick Cheney must resign, THEN we'll talk about condition 2.”

:(

Today, John McCain has figured out a way to keep not only his running mate from letting the cat out of the bag when asked real questions, but how to avoid losing to Obama in the debates. The next thing the American People should hear is that McCAIN FORFEITS ALL DEBATES HE CHOOSES NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN.

Suspending your election campaign to save the country from the economic debacle you are complicit in - despite the effects of your actions and the financial loss to others they will cause - only makes you dirtier than a yellow snowball, while proving that you've already forfeited far more."

Bush told us to go shopping. We did. Tune in tonight to see how he blames us, while telling us what we'll forfeit next.

Someone needs to say this.

I WILL.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and this is how they'll do it. Sorry Ty.

The Without Notice Notice

Anyone still stunned by the Bush Administration's answer to the "economic meltdown"; a "Wall Street BAILOUT" that puts the solution in the hands of a single un-subpoenable Unitary Executive CEO, whose personal actions and decisions may not be reviewed by any court of law or administration agency, hasn't gotten a letter like the one above. Yet.

May not be reviewed.

Rachel Maddow has tonight pointed out that "Four strikes and you're OUT!" doesn't even mean anything anymore, but her revelation of the bad joke that has become Bush 43, is drowned out by FOX NEWS proving once and for all that they have no sense of humor, or as Sean Hannity would put it: "so-called" sense of humor.

What Bush wants, Bush gets, Bush hates us all.

Problem-Crisis-Solution has come to my street, as it did with the Gulf of Tonkin incident 48 years ago. I was not old enough to vote when I received my Draft Notice that began with: "YOU WILL REPORT". I found it in the same mailbox that also held the bad news of this July 11th.

My reaction, triggered by both documents, remains the same because the thinking behind both - that the recipient will just blindly follow orders, however subtly concealed, or blatantly dictatorial - is more arrogant than ever. An arrogance however, that now threatens my First-Born, and her new Son.

Four words born at the birth of the country*, and as appropriate in 2008, as they were in 1964: “NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION”.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I'll make it even simpler for the bastards who have Betsy Ross in a headlock, twisting her arm to see just when it will break. Waiting to see how complete our conditioning is, as we tacitly give them permission to torture her further. And all the agony, just so they can get their way, one way or the other. Sooner or later.

LET HER GO!

*When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The SURGE Comes Home

From VSNRY: PANIC ATTACK (9/23/2002)

Timothy McVeigh would have loved the “War on Terror”, even though he is officially one of the first “failed” attempts to start same (see “Fight The Future” to see how to REALLY take out a FEDERAL BUILDING).

He would have been right at home in Afghanistan, and I fear for the Future when I think of how many more just like him are over there right now, getting PAID to learn, and do the very things he knew, and finally did. Maybe enough will come back having experienced a true head massage, and Peace may yet have a chance.

Personally, I don't think he's dead.

Like Christ looking up Mary Magdelene after the soreness of hanging on that stupid cross wore off, “Timmy” is probably in the Ultimate Witness Protection Program (UWPP).

Unless, of course, there was someone even more necessary to protect, and the “death-like” syringe was switched back to “LETHAL” at the last minute.

That's what we call a Choy.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I made up the acronym UWPP. Six years later, Consequence Management Response Force (CCMRF) is real. Imagine a President Palin in command of such power. Planning missions. Assigning targets. Defining "enemies".

Starting "Homeland tours" on my father's birthday is what I call an insult to everyone who won World War II. An insult that can only lead to injury.

And Bad Is The News

“I was going to say a sense of adventure.”

This is how Ellie Arroway responds to a presumptous reporter who attempts to finish her sentence, interjecting his own word - "faith" - for her. The full sentence would have read “I have to believe that an Intelligence that advanced, knows what they're doing. Now, all it requires on our part... is a sense of adventure.”

Bryant Gumbel playing himself had an agenda, but he was nothing compared to the FOX NEWS horrors to come.

Just imagine how "Contact" might have unfolded, much less ended, had the female discoverer of the first radio signal from an Extra-Terrestrial source, been interviewed by one of the hosts above.

When the Democrats "took back" Congress in 2006, the SHIFT HAPPENS update read: “GOD BLESS THE DAILY SHOW!”

A list of those who had NOT lost the "Long War" the Bush administration was frantically trying to re-name, quickly grew to include Colbert and Olbermann.

Rachel Maddow - forced to cover her blushing face with her exquisitely feminine hands after having had to say, during a segment exposing Phil Grahm's production ties to, and support of, a pornographic film about women forced into prostitution at the nation's truck stops: “No rig was too big...” - was not even a twinkle in MSNBC's eye, and a moment not to be missed.

Now, as we wait for the inevitable Sarah Palin "Shockey Mom" sex tape, or her upskirt shot leaked by her own campaign to TMZ, so a McCain surrogate (probably a Cougar with glossy RED lips) can attack the first person to say something about same, the First Dude is refusing to testify or answer subpoenas like HE was already the President of the United States, or Alberto Gonzalez, or Karl Rove, or Andy Card, or Harriet Meirs.

All this, as the Bush Doctrine pushes us to the brink of war with Russia, with Iran, with North Korea, with Venezuala, with Pakistan. PAKISTAN; whose rules of engagement now include FIRING on U.S. forces in response to Predator/Hellfire attacks within their borders that apparently killed only sleeping Pakistanis.

One of the original 2005 SHIFT HAPPENS pages warned about the true goal of President George W. Bush: “Americans love a winner, no matter how they win - but if Mikhail Gorbachev was chosen to dismantle the Soviet Union - it may be the task of George W. Bush to divide, conquer, and destroy America; leaving it so polarized as to be unrecognizable to those who thought Liberty and Justice were for all...”

He still IS President, and the THIRD TERM is as good as here, in spite of the best efforts of the four Americans left on the air you can still trust. As Lauren Bacall might say: “The rest of them can go to Hell...”

My Name is Michael Sterling, and it was I who appended “when he's serious” to Olbermann's name. His attempts to mimic the worst persons in the world, threaten to cancel out his historic Special Comments, and lose the audience that so urgently needs to hear the truth only he has spoken to power. Rachel is right behind him. This election is being fought in the gutters by the eye-rollers and name-callers. There are now nights when the news they have to work with, renders even Stewart & Colbert unfunny, and they are the best on the planet - National Treasures in every sense of the word. Rachel Maddow belongs right there with them if only she can continue to be who she is, and not what someone wants her to be.



PEACE BE UPON HER.

The Monster Comes To Maple Street

My Father bought our house in 1967, and I don't believe he wanted his Wife to sit in her favorite chair on the screened-in porch he built for her, and be face-to-face with one of these when he was gone.

My Father has passed on, and I spoke in his place at the public meeting in opposition to the Monster and those that serve it. My Mother gave me permission to speak for her, but I left that meeting knowing that an explanation of the fall back position of the CERN scientists who were going to fire up the Large Hadron Collider the next day (even if we do create a black hole capable of ending all life on Earth, we won't know about it for 5-6 years), would have fallen on deaf ears.

The newspaper reporter I spoke to didn't even know what the Large Hadron Collider was. She does now.

Here then, are today's email remarks documenting our progress against the radiation hazard questions the T-Mobile vendor couldn't answer for the 50+ residents who had gathered in order to have such life or death questions heard by those they thought should know, those they thought would listen to reason, those they thought would care:

"I have a friend who decommissions military bases. He sits on review boards and sees these types of matters from the other side. He has told me that we will not have a chance of defeating the installation of the cell antenna/equipment unless we complain that it is unsightly and is an eyesore to the neighborhood."

"Remember, cell towers have the approval of the FCC* and it will be hard for local government to deny based on health concerns when a branch of the federal government has a different opinion."

"As ____ ________ said at the UCPG meeting, their decision really carries little weight. All it did was send a message to the City that there is great opposition."

"The City understands our concerns completely but feels their hands are tied. In the recent past when they have denied T-Mobile’s applications, they were sued by T-Mobile (but I think T-Mobile lost the suit). Apparently, there is a conflict between Federal Regulations (FCC) and our City and County ordinances. Federal regulations give cellular companies the right to come into our neighborhoods and put their poles in any right-of-way (ROW). Our local laws offer us some protection from these cell towers, but Federal regulations override that. The City logically prefers not to waste funds getting into another lawsuit, even if they are to win."

"The City cannot deny these sites based upon health concerns (even if they agree with us!). The FCC negates that concern, which makes NO sense to me. Cellular companies have lobbyists fighting for their benefit and apparently the public doesn’t so the FCC regulations are in favor of the cell companies."

"Some people feel this fight is too big to handle. We can do this if we are diligent and dedicated to this matter. Other cities have managed to prudently and successfully ban cell sites in residential neighborhoods and I intend to speak with those City attorneys to find out how they worked around the Federal (FCC) regulations. If it was done once, it can be done again."


So, some animals ARE more equal than others.

I will just add that every Morton-Thiokol engineer; men intimately familiar with the operational limits of their solid rocket booster O-rings, pleaded at numerous NASA meetings NOT TO LAUNCH Challenger under such appalling conditions, even though the unacceptable criteria were technically within NASA's parameters. They finally refused to sign off on the launch. The inertia of money invested and time spent won out over safety and ethics. Seven astronauts were murdered, a shuttle destroyed, and the United States space program set back years. The people who doomed the events of that day probably kept their jobs.

T-Mobile's solution is to move their antenna twenty yards to an equally dangerous location (their convenience, not ours) and force us to repeat the process (our inconvenience, not theirs) until they can piggy-back the new streetlamp that was probably designed for the application in the first place. There are a lot of new streetlamps on my street. How many on yours? How long before we all go to sleep under a layer of electro-magnetic hazard no one can prove will not harm our children's children's children?

Looks like the Greatest Generation finally loses.

They won World War II, but were overpowered by the greed and ME-FIRST "love of money" of their offspring, and those who were not up to the jobs they'd inherited.



*The telecommunications industry is trying to stop all citizen influence on restricting cell tower sites. On July 11, 2008, the Cellular Telephone Industries Association (CTIA), petitioned the FCC to declare new limitations on local zoning authority as it affects cell tower siting. A deadline for public comments was set as September 15, 2008, by the FCC.

Specifically, CTIA requests the Federal Communications Commission to:

1. Force municipalities to act on wireless antenna or tower zoning applications within 45 or 75 days.

2. Rule that applications are automatically deemed granted if a local government misses the FCC's deadline.

3. Prevent municipalities from considering the presence of service by other carriers in evaluating an additional carrier's application for an antenna site.

4. Pre-empt any local ordinance that would automatically require a variance for cell tower applications.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and here is what YOU can do to STOP THE MONSTER (the deadline has been pushed back to 9/29 due to ever-growing community opposition).


FIRST, copy the items in RED as you'll lose this page when you go to the FCC page.

The proceeding/document number is 08-165

The applicant is YOUR NAME

Under Document Type, change it from COMMENT to OPPOSITION by clicking on the down arrow to the right.

Your comments can be brief. PLEASE TYPE (minimum): “Cellular equipment does not belong in residential neighborhoods. PLEASE REJECT CTIA’S REQUEST UNDER DOCKET 08-165.”


T-Mobile's new slogan is "stick together".

THANK YOU FOR DOING SO.

Here's how Robert A. Heinlein put it:

"A CITIZEN HAS THE COURAGE TO MAKE THE SAFETY OF THE HUMAN RACE THEIR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY"


Save your neighborhood. Go to this FCC page and STOP THE MONSTER!

Death Always Wins (So They Say)

I observed the seventh anniversary of 9-11 by not turning on my TV. Unfortunately, I couldn't escape today's "What did She say today?" headline when she popped up in the iParty's free email service - so here's my question, which I KNOW the Hockey Mom wasn't asked by the Ancient Bavarian Conspirator: “ How long does it take to re-arm the two Blackjack Bombers that just landed in Venezuela, with the nuclear weapons that were already there?”

WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.

What do you mean by "We"? Your Republican Party that's less than a week old?

George Noory has tucked the C2C audience into bed with the 9-11 HORROR as though it's The Night Before Christmas, before "Morning Joe" airs yesterday's footage. Asked if she can (and she's shown where the camera is) look the American People in the eye, and tell them she can step into the Presidency at a moment's notice. She can't. She doesn't. Like a locked-off camera, this bespectacled Dear; lipstick in place, white-knuckled body language so painfully defensive - finally caught in the headlights of National TV - stares straight back at he who asked the question, not we who await her now worthless answer. Back in the studio, The Starbuckers don't even notice.

She'll do better with Sean Hannity. Guaranteed.


The FUTURE WAR has begun next door.



The Monster has come to Maple Street.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and if I haven't already scared the Hell out of you, keep reading.

Life Finds A Way (Wedging The Universe)

GOD BLESS ROBERT ABEL!

If Steven Spielberg can return to Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and add some scenes, I can finish off this post on September 23rd - the 7th anniversary of Bob Abel's death - 13 days after I started it.

I have been a little busy.

When I first moved into my "office" above the back door in 1976, one of the first things I noticed was an 8X10 glossy of a very young, VERY skinny Franken & Davis in their wizard outfits. Just yesterday, FOX NEWS was ready to lynch Al over a SNL skit unfavorable to John McCain.

Much has changed, and not all for the greater good.

Maybe it IS just Eloi and Morlocks. In 1976 I wasn't worried about Neophiles vs Neophobes, Dharmacrats or Republicants, Us & Them, because I knew there was no contest. Now, though I wake up outnumbered, I know I was right.

Love will always triumph over fear.

I didn't move to Hollywood to make movies, but I soon came to realize I was there to make "The Movie". To Richard Taylor's credit, the night we discovered that TITAN and FLYBY were both about the Rock Messiah, and I actually went as far as to say "...and that's me!", didn't change our ability to work together towards what we now knew was a common goal.

STAR TREK: TMP's 40 million dollar budget is not even the steam rising from the 700 BILLION dollar pile of bail-out that threatens to GO WIDE as I write this.

Bob could have done a better job.

Today I proclaim him vindicated.

"The Movie" has yet to be made, but it is no longer his fault. In fact, it may someday be said that IT couldn't have been made without him.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and IT is coming.

Death To America (Part Two)

This is NOT about Sarah Palin. It's about those hiding behind her. Using her. Against those they deem the enemy - all who disagree with them from this point on.

America's 4th Civil War has begun however, and it started when she took the stage; as perfectly designed and crafted a candidate as the perfectly designed and crafted Beatles substitute that was marketed to America and the world as "The Monkees".

She deserves no further mention here, except for the first thing I heard said about her: “Once a sports newscaster, always a sports newscaster”.

Barack Hussein Obama raised the bar too high for the truly Dark Ones to compete, so they just got rid of it.

The coming election will be decided like none in the history of the United States. The Permanent Republican Majority will finally become a set in stone reality, when FOX NEWS lets it slip that if their Dream Ticket wins, those whose votes defeated the Democrats will be turned loose in a spree of trickle-down payback that will tear marriages and families apart while promoting both, all while putting a grin on Nixon and Reagan's decaying skulls. Eight years of guilt and embarrassment canceled in a signing statement orgy of sanctioned violence far worse than the rolled eyes and snide, demoralizing remarks we're faced with now.

Hannity won't strangle Colmes on the air. It will be more effective to watch Alan melt under the new public scrutiny and denounce his previous "good cop" positions faster than Steve Centanni denounced Islam.

To those of the Greatest Generation who are unlucky enough to live to see that day, I apologize.

Orwell's "Two Minutes' Hate" is about to last four more years.

Nothing entitled "Death To America" should come in parts, but Part One was a warning that even DISCLOSURE; the biggest event in the history of History, could be manipulated to keep the slaves in bondage. Now we see just how easy it will be.

I don't usually quote Charlton Heston, but he's beyond the Bardo, and has surely been shown the error of his ways and seen the truth behind one of his best lines: “You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! God... damn you all to hell!”



“Freedom of choice Is what you got
Freedom from choice!
Is what you want!”

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I approved this message, which NEVER mentioned John McCain. Ooops.

All About Eve

The Torch has been passed... from Jamie Lynn Spears to Bristol Palin.

More about that later.

The little I saw of Boosh last night, he seemed to be saying how John McCain would attack three kinds of Americans.

Now, with Rudi Giuliani speaking to the same crowd, HE could say "AND WE'LL GAS EVERY THIRD AMERICAN!", and that crowd would scream: "YAYYYYYYY!!!"

Who knows what will happen when the Mother of all Republicans is finally unleashed.

When Edward G. Robinson said: "How did we come to this?", before he broke into tears in Soylent Green, this may be the very night he knew had happened, insuring the Nightmare that would follow. A Future that came to pass IN SPITE of his best efforts.

PEACE BE UPON HIM... AND CHARLTON HESTON.

Having spoken for Men everywhere, I'm tempted to let Women have a shot at it, but this is looking way too much like a mEth-driven Vampire Rave just before the sprinklers fire off and douse all below in blood.

No, this is more like a really bad BATMAN episode, with some new evil redhead villainess; a Politician that herself, can be traced right back to The Monkees. A woman that could be a heartbeat from the Presidency. A woman, who if you close your eyes, sounds like a grown up Jackie from "That '70's show", but is only the woman Rudi Giuliani longs to be when you finally force yourself to look.

All this while the REAL Vice-President is over in the "Conflict Zone", putting some "spine" in the Georgians. No doubt emasculating "our ally" for losing on National TV. Then he'll get down to the real business of staging the attack on Iran from there with all the humanitarian aid we've sent them. Yet another Republican do-over.

“Just a moment... just a moment.”

My Name is Michael Sterling. GOD BLESS DAMNED AMERICA.

BLAME AMERICA LAST

“We will bury you...”

Maybe "first" WOULD have been better...

When I designed the Russian Art In America* website, my Uzbekhi client proclaimed that George W. Bush (Boosh) was our Kruschev. What she meant was that the "Leader of the Free World" was a peasant.

“Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.”

Focus on the Family prayed against Obama's acceptance speech only to fade into embarrassed silence as Gustav and Hannah bear down on the Gulf Coast - and the Republican National Convention.



Ooops.

Putin is ready to put us out of our misery with no more remorse than Fess Parker putting down the rabid family dog. It was an inside job after all, and everyone who refused to see the foaming lips of the Mad Dog, has earned the right to lie down first in the shallow grave they've finally succeeded in digging for the rest of us. The only task left for our "enemies" is to throw the first shovelful of dirt on America's upturned face.



My Name is Michael Sterling, and it didn't have to be this way.

*Larissa and I worked well together, and RAiA stands as an elegant testament to détente to this day. Unfortunately, Boosh is still President, and even worse, has months left to destroy what only he can. As only a peasant would.

The Purpose Driven Panel

Long story short.

John Zogby went on the DAILY SHOW after New Hampshire and couldn't explain why he had been so wrong. Pressed by Jon Stewart, his final statement about the business he was in and why he was in it, and going to STAY in it, was: "Hey, I'm my family's ATM machine!"

NOT FUNNY JOHN. Thank you again Jon.

The 2008 "Election" should have come to a screeching halt when the RNC took out Ron Paul, The DNC took out Stephen Colbert, and Tim Russert took out Dennis Kucinich. Not to mention CNN's treatment of Stephen Bassett, and all those he represents.

But NOOOOOOOOOO!

America has been driven into two opposing camps - those who champion the candidate who will turn a deaf ear to the war crimes of the Bush administration once in office, and those who remain blind to the possibility that the POW's left behind in Vietnam by their war hero, were sacrificed rather than being allowed to expose the drug trade that has funded covert ops and black projects ever since - and armed with steak knives.

The purpose driven pastor shames evangelicals everywhere by describing the lengths he's gone to in insuring the second speaker has been unable to hear the questions asked of the first, while the winner/loser of the coin toss, IS NOT EVEN IN THE BUILDING!

The last Native American Church ceremony I attended, a young man asked for permission to leave the tipi - and didn't come back. After a few minutes, the Chief stopped the ceremony and sent other young men to go and bring him back. We were told something about the missing teen-ager's predicament, and by the time he returned, he was welcomed by 25+ strangers, who made him feel safe and welcome. The ceremony continued and we were all the better for what had happened that night.

Why could Rick Warren not do the same? Is he too not a Chief? If not, why does anyone follow him? Especially when he proves (on LIVE TV) that the tongue forks both ways.

He, like Bush before him, KNEW and did nothing.

At least Dan Abrams has followed Tucker Carlson and John Gibson into GAME SHOW NEWS oblivion, and won't be pitchforking the american people's 24/7 argumentia dementia anymore. Let's hope The Verdict is replaced by "I'm Maddow as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore."

My Name is Michael Sterling, and the GHOST DANCE is returning.

COLD FEAT (The SURGE hits Georgia)

It is NOT 1968.

It's worse.

While chopping & channeling "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", I resisted the urge to update some of the original claims (300 of "Us" rule the world, as opposed to the current number - more likely between 60 and 6, etc,...), but there was one area where I DID bring the Protocols into the 21st Century. Nowhere in that damned document did the word "media" appear.

The original Protocols, dating from an era before Television, Motion Pictures, & the Internet, can be forgiven for only dealing with controlling the "Printing Press", but applying those same techniques to the world that exists today, and the fact that there was next to nothing on "the NEWS" today about the "crisis" in Georgia after the infamous handshake shown above, shows how Those behind the Protocols have truly mastered "The Media".

Our Post-Beijing partying President is back from patting volleyballers above their bikini line while the camera is on him, and awaiting Condi's de-briefing, though he already knows the Clear & Holdski score. Do you think Putin ever played Checkers? Can you even say NUCULER in Russian? How about "signing statement"?

A shameless FOX NEWS reporter; now enshrined next to the unnameable bastard* that shot John Lennon, finds himself "first on the ground" and surrounded by stunned Georgian refugees fleeing their destroyed homes. He and his crew, move in for a tight shot as he paces a 77 year-old Grandmother carrying everything she owns in two huge suitcases, and the ugliest of Americans DOESN'T EVEN THINK to lighten her load. But it's great TV.

The American Ambassador to the United Nations is told by his Russian equal to "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!", because The United States has no basis for complaining about one country invading another, and slaughtering civilians. He does. The footage is never shown again.

Renderings of Manhattan's "GREEN ZONE", and the plan to identify every car entering the island we stole from the Indians, are slipped into news about a new TERROR condition that IS EXPECTED to last through the Conventions, the Election, and the Transition. A massive U.S. Embassy on American soil that can now rise from prime real-estate that had to be leveled first.

Attorney General Mukasey waves off the final attempt to bring SOMEONE/ANYONE to justice for the political firings by graduates of Regents University of U. S. Attornies that didn't answer "What about George W. Bush makes you want to serve him?" correctly. Saying, in effect, that "all crimes are not criminal". AN "ALL PRIORITIES RESCINDED" SHOT ACROSS OUR BOW IF THERE EVER WAS ONE.

And then there's Denver.

The DNC has rented a warehouse in Denver to hide the GITMO "Sally Ports"; razor-wire cages they intend to put "Protestors" in, as the RNC did but four years before.



Perhaps, for when some 18 year-old starts the "WHERE'S COLBERT?" chant.



Whatever we see in the next few weeks, you can be sure it'll be great TV, although the real news won't be on TV.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I am more ashamed of post 08.08.08 America than Michelle Obama when she blurted out the truth. If, in these perilous times when NO ONE knows the truth about America anymore, you still have a problem with what she said, you need to memorize this sentence; the essence of the America we are all proud of: “If we don't believe in freedom of expression for those we despise, we don't believe in it at all.”

Repeat as necessary.

* John Lennon's murderer may have been on the very prescription drugs found in every "Killer's" blood since Columbine, and it may have been as simple as him answering some spook's phone call - and hearing "goo goo g'joob" - to insure that Peace got no chance. FOX NEWS "finest" however, has no such excuse. He's just doing it to advance The Cheney Channel's ratings. That makes him, and the boss that will probably give him a "combat" bonus, infinitely worse.

FAILURE TO DISCLOSE

PROTOCOL No. 1

This is a secret which has not been revealed. Three hundred of Us, each of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the world, and We alone choose Our successors.

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

What We are about to set forth, then, is Our system from the two points of view, that of Us and that of Them.

It must be noted that Those with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the best results in governing Them are attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic discussions. Those with bad instincts aim at power. Every one would like to become a dictator if only They could, and rare indeed are Those who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing Their own welfare.

What has restrained Them? What has served for Their guidance hitherto?

In the beginnings of the structure of society, They were subjected to brutal and blind force; after words - to Law, which is the same force, only disguised, in order to draw the conclusion that by the law of nature right lies in force.

Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must know how to apply whenever it appears necessary, with the bait of an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of freedom, or LIBERALISM, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of Our theory appears; the slackened reins of government are immediately, by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand, because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place of the old already weakened by liberalism.

In Our day the power which replaced that of the rulers who were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled. The idea of political freedom is impossible to realize because no one knows how to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a people to self-government for a certain length of time so that They can turn themselves into a disorganized mob. From that moment on, We get internecine strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst of which States burn down and their importance is reduced to that of a heap of ashes.

Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions, or whether its internal discord brings it under the power of external foes - in any case it can be accounted irretrievably lost: IT IS IN OUR POWER. The despotism of Capital, which is entirely in Our hands, reaches out a hand that the State must take hold of. If not - it goes to the bottom.

Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as the above are immoral, We put the following question: If every State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it is allowed and not considered immoral to use every manner and art of conflict, as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of plans of attack and defense, to attack him by night or in superior numbers, then in what way can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of the structure of society and the commonweal, be called immoral and not permissible?

Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any success to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and arguments, when any objection or contradiction, senseless though it may be, can be made and when such objection may find more favor with the people, whose powers of reasoning are superficial? Humans en masse, and the men of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs, traditions and sentimental theorems, fall prey to party dissension, which hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis of a perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd depends upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance of political secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that lays in the administration a seed of anarchy.

The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of Their kingdoms, as We must in no wise are guided by them.

Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract thought and proved by nothing. The word means no more than: Give me what I want in order that thereby I may have a proof that I am stronger than you.

Where does right begin? Where does it end?

In any State in which there is a bad organization of authority, an impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have lost their personality amid the flood of rights ever multiplying out of liberalism, We find a new right - to attack by the right of the strong, and to scatter to the winds all existing forces of order and regulation, to reconstruct all institutions and to become the sovereign lord of Those who have left to Us the rights of Their power by laying them down voluntarily in their liberalism.

Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power, will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.

Out of the temporary evil We are now compelled to commit, will emerge the good of an unshakable rule, which will restore the regular course of the machinery of the national life, brought to naught by liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let Us, however, in Our plans, direct Our attention not so much to what is good and moral as to what is necessary and useful.

Before Us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line from which We cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the labor of many centuries brought to naught.

In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is necessary to have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the instability of the mob, it's lack of capacity to understand and respect the conditions of it's own life, or it's own welfare. It must be understood that the might of a mob is a blind, senseless, and unreasoning force; ever at the mercy of a suggestion from any side We control. The blind cannot lead the blind without stumbling into the abyss; consequently, members of the mob, upstarts having no understanding of the political, cannot come forward as leaders of the mob without the mob fearing they will only lead the whole nation to ruin.

Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have understanding of the words that can be made up of the political alphabet We have created.

A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit of power and honors and the disorders arising therefrom. Is it possible for the masses of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to form judgment, to deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot be mixed up with personal interest? Can they defend themselves from an external foe? It is unthinkable; for a plan broken up into as many parts as there are heads in the mob, loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes unintelligible and impossible of execution.

It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated extensively and clearly in such a way as to distribute the whole properly among the several parts of the machinery of the State: from this the conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory form of government for any country is one that concentrates in the hands of one responsible person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for civilization which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide, whosoever that person may be. The mob is savage, and displays its savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes freedom in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself is the highest degree of savagery.

Behold the deluded, shackled with such attachments and burdens, the right to pursue same comes along with freedom. It is not for Us and Ours to walk that road.

Our countersign is - Force and Make-believe. Only force conquers in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning and make-believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay down their crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This evil is the one and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore We must not stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards the attainment of Our ends. In politics one must know how to seize the property of others without hesitation if by it We secure submission and sovereignty.

Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more satisfactory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the terror which tends to produce blind submission. Just, but merciless severity, is the greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake of gain but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep to the program of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of which it makes use. Therefore it is not so much by the means themselves, as by the doctrine of severity that We shall triumph and bring all governments into subjection to Our super-government. It is enough for Them to know that We are too merciless, for all disobedience to cease.

Far back in ancient times, We were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity". Words many times repeated since those days by stupid poll- parrots who, from all sides around, flew down upon these baits and with them carried away the well-being of the world - true freedom of the individual - formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be wise men, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of the uttered words in their abstractedness; did not see that in nature there is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably as she has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas the non-adept, even if he were a genius, understands nothing in the political - to all those things They pay no regard. Yet all the time it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in such wise that none should know it but members of the dynasty and none could betray it to the governed. As time went on, the meaning of the dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the political was lost, and this aided the success of Our cause.

In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," brought to Our ranks, thanks to Our blind agents, whole legions who bore Our banners with enthusiasm. And all the time these words were worms at work boring into Their well-being , putting an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the foundations of Their States. As will be seen later, this helped Us to Our triumph: it gave Us the possibility, among other things, of getting into Our hands the master card - the destruction of the privileges, or in other words of the very existence of Their aristocracy, that class which was the only defense peoples and countries had against Us. On the ruins of Their eternal and genealogical aristocracy, We have set up the aristocracy of Our educated class headed by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications for this aristocracy We have established in wealth, which is dependent upon Us, and in knowledge, for which Our learned elders provide the motive force.

Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in Our relations with the men, whom We wanted, We have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought Their activities.

The abstraction of freedom has enabled Us to persuade the mob in all countries that Their government is nothing but the steward of the people who are the owners of the country, and that the steward may be replaced like a worn-out glove.

It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the people which has placed at Our disposal, and, as it were, given Us the power of appointment.

Truth, DISCLOSURE*, and the American Way

The American Way is up for grabs.

IRONMAN can tell you more about the reality of foreign intervention, Al Qaeda, and the Military-Industrial Complex than a month of cable news marble-mouthed spitoonees.

A DJ spinning for a 4th of July party is pulled aside because "BORN IN THE USA" isn't patriotic enough. Ian Punnett calls in to C2C after Noory plays Whitney Houston's definitive performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner", and asks: "Was that Ashlee Simpson?"

Jesus Buddha. NAOMI KLEIN.

South Carolina wants crosses on their "DRIVE THE WALK" vanity license plates, but they didn't let Stephen Colbert run in their Democratic primary, and they won't approve of a symbol that doesn't stroke their own vanity or mark their territory, even though "X" has always marked the spot.

Karl Rove flips off Congress, William Kristol threatens America with another PNAC attack on Iran if Obama wins, and George W. Bush pisses on Tibetans everywhere.

To paraphrase Jimi Hendrix: “Ohhh... there ain't no trust nowhere”.

Maybe the Joker will clean everyone's clock in time for Scully & Mulder to BRING THE TRUTH HOME.

But first, the Cinnamon Girl who first set her sights on me, will take the stage as the Woman she always wanted to be.

Morgan Spurlock has certainly done enough for his country, but there's one more show that screams to be produced. The man that showed us how McDonalds can kill you, takes Dennis Kucinich's place in the House of Representatives for the 30 days it takes to re-introduce the articles of impeachment that may just save America itself.

Preserve. Protect. Defend.

Looks like Dennis Kucinich was up to the job after all.

As penance for his betrayal, and “for acting contrary to his trust”, Tim Russert should spend the next 35 broadcasts of MEET THE PRESS elaborating on the truths exposed in the 35 count IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION brought by an American he tried, and failed, to belittle.

The Active Denial System has finally been introduced to a war weary American public by CBS, but it's Rod Serling's "The 7th is made up of phantoms" I can't get out of my head.

1963, and yet another classic Twilight Zone has 3 National Guardsmen transported back in time to the day of Custer's last stand. A battle they ultimately join, and lose. When the C.O. back in their own time realizes what has happened, he simply says: "They should have taken the tank."

A mistake someone won't make again.

God Damn Saudi America!

ap·pease
transitive verb
PACIFY, CONCILIATE; especially : to buy off (an aggressor) by concessions usually at the sacrifice of principles

“President Bush failed to win the help he sought from Saudi Arabia to relieve skyrocketing American gas prices Friday, a setback for the former Texas oilman who took office predicting he would jawbone oil-producing nations to help the U.S.”

“Bush got a red-carpet welcome to this desert kingdom, home to the world's largest oil reserves, and promised to ask King Abdullah to increase production to reduce pressure on prices, which soared past $127 for the first time Friday. But Saudi officials said they already were meeting the needs of their customers worldwide and there was no need to pump more.”

“Their answer recalled Bush's trip to Saudi Arabia in January when he urged an increase in production but was rebuffed.”

“Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi said the kingdom decided on May 10 to increase production by 300,000 barrels a day to help meet U.S. needs after Venezuela and Mexico cut back deliveries.”

“Bristling at criticism from the U.S. Congress, al-Naimi told a news conference: ‘Supply and demand are in balance today. How much does Saudi Arabia need to do to satisfy people who are questioning our oil practices and policies?”

“Early this week, Senate Democrats introduced a resolution to block $1.4 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia unless Riyadh agreed to increase its oil production by 1 million barrels per day.”

“Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said the discussion with Bush about oil was friendly. ‘He didn't punch any tables or shout at anybody, I think he was satisfied’, the minister said.”

“National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said consumers would not see dramatic price reductions. Oil experts agreed.”

“Analysts also discounted the impact of the U.S. Energy Department's announcement that it would cancel shipments into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for six months beginning July 1.”

“Futures prices of crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange have more than doubled in the past year, from $62.46 a barrel in the first week of May, 2007. Prices reached $100 a barrel for the first time in February and continued rising. They closed at $126.29 Friday.”

“On Jan. 26, 2000, during a presidential debate, Bush opposed taking oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and instead said then-President Clinton should ‘jawbone’ oil producing nations. That week crude oil prices were $28 a barrel.”

“Bush's visit was billed as a celebration of 75 years of U.S.-Saudi relations, though they have been frayed by Arab perceptions that Washington favors Israel too much in the dispute with the Palestinians, the Iraq war and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The two countries used the occasion of Bush's visit to sign new agreements.”

“Among them was an agreement for the U.S. to assist the kingdom in developing civilian nuclear power. Another involves U.S. promises to help protect any Saudi nuclear infrastructure with training, the exchange of experts ‘and other support services as needed.’ Hadley said it would not involve U.S. troops.”

A First Nation would have a New Chief (NOT like the Old Chief) by now.

The Agony of Defeat

“San Francisco! Here we go...”

What do Osama Bin Laden, Dick Cheney, and the Olympic Torch have in common?

They all need an undisclosed location.

The ghost of Vince Walker; dictating the wire story of the beating of Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent followers at the Dharasana Salt Works, hovered over the City by the Bay today, as camera after camera strained to see where the torch had gone after it was unceremoniously run into the empty warehouse closest to where the lighting ceremony had taken place minutes before.

Very Republican. Very Chinese.

No Martin Sheen, even Wolf Blitzer finally asked the obvious; if the route was changed to avoid crowds, “didn't that defeat the purpose?”

I will finish the speech heard around the world, and I'll only change two words.

“Whatever moral ascendancy China once held was lost here today. Tibet is free, for she has taken all that steel and cruelty can give and she has neither cringed nor retreated.”

The Dalai Lama is the Dalai Lama. It's up to non-Dalai Lamas to SEIZE THE MOMENT.

Americans have one more chance - perhaps the last - to prove to the World we are not murderous, pathological, or some insane combination of both.

There is no way to tell if the 1st iParty speech posted after I announced my intentions - “Impeach & Apologize” - was of any help, but I appreciate that over 73% of Americans currently want BUSH/CHENEY impeached - even if, when asked if the fact that that a slightly lower percentage of the American People finally want the war in Iraq to end - Dick Cheney simply responds with a smirking, mono-syllabic “So?”.

If he can be so cavalier about the deaths of tens of thousands of Human Beings sacrificed for the profit of himself, and those that put him into office for two terms, how concerned do you think he is about his insane, pathological, murderous arrogance causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands more?

Years ago, my Father didn't think much of the Dalai Lama because he couldn't see what He'd done for his country. I knew he meant that he himself would have done more if it had been him. He'd certainly done all he could for his Country, and me.

Since 1949; when the War on Terror actually began with the shots ignored around the world, the rest of the world has been saying: “So?”

TODAY; with our Secretary of State and Vice President being politely thrown out of every country (except Israel) they make their pitch in, YOU can finally say “FREE TIBET OR ELSE!”, or else be faced with the same argument used to justify the horror of Iraq - “Things are so bad NOW, we can't afford to lose BECAUSE THEY'LL JUST GET WORSE...” - when it's used to justify not pissing off the Chinese. This, from those who committed America to surging american troops into occupied Iraq to crack down on the insurgency of occupied Iraqis. Politicians responsible for the deaths of over 4,000 American troops, and in debt over 3 trillion dollars to China, Saudi Arabia, and who knows who else.

Bush IS the spoiled brat who cannonnballs into the country club pool, then repeats his offense because “Everyone's wet anyhow...”

The latest thing the EXILED Dalai Lama has done for his country is to offer to “step down” in order to stop the imprisonment and eventual slaughter of his people (enough for my Mother to proclaim him a “Good Man”). He has even offered to “officially” support China's sponsorship of the 2008 Olympics; both acts of a true leader.

It IS up to the rest of us to step up and do what even He cannot.

UNDO.

Everyone but the President of the United States that is - who still intends to go - a pawn that really has no choice, and probably didn't blink an eye when it was explained to him.

I know which of these two men my Father would be proud of today.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and I may have thought I'd given my last speech, but I am compelled to answer the question: “What if an Artist ran for President?” one more time. Artists are constructing the Olympic logo out of barbed-wire & interlocking handcuffs, but the "OR ELSE" in FREE TIBET OR ELSE is all mine, a BIG THOUGHT; one too big for CafePress, but one I've given away EVERYWHERE I CAN.

The iDakini Oracle

There is a temple in India...

In Orissa actually. A small circular shrine open to the sky, whose inner wall contains the niches that house the 64 Dakinis.

This 65th post however, is about the statue that stands at the center of all their gazes.

The EDIT POSTS page in the blogger interface allows you to define the number of posts to be displayed, and I had chosen 64 when I started the iParty Blog.

When I went to NEW POST on Valentine's Day, I realized I was at number 62, or DANGEROUS PUSSY/THE PAST, according to the SECRET DAKINI ORACLE of Nik Douglas & Penny Slinger.

I had honored Valentine's Day long before it arrived, but that post allowed me to do so publicly.

The dangerous pussy in my past, has yet to respond.

Such is Love.

Richard C. Hoagland says the Internet is overrated. His Art Director tried to get out from under her site until it just went under. I identified the Internet as one of the New Wonders Of The World, and I offer the previous 64 iParty posts, and the body of work they link to as proof.

An incurable romantic still, I can only HOPE that my youngest Daughter; a Dakini if there ever was one, will appreciate that I do so on her Birthday, and with the image that started IT all.

Hope & the Great White

If “ The Prince” can reduce the chairman of the National Alliance of POW/MIA Families; a woman unable to understand why the Senator's protestations of patriotism and personal pride are more important to him then allowing her to discover the status of her own MIA brother - to tears... what do you think he'll do as President of the United States?

Bush knows. He's predicting a Republican will HOLD the White House - one that will keep fighting “the good fight”... even if it's against us.

Would Jimi Hendrix vote for Obama, or would his experience with the Black Panthers tugging at his celebrity - his blackness - have turned him off politicians and the wars they condone forever?

Personally, I'd trade all the current Candidates and the system that chose them, for a world where Jimi and Dali still do what only they could. Unfortunately, Zbigniew Brzezinski is still doing what he's always done, and he is rumored to have Barack under his wing.

Karl Rove says?

How did THAT phrase slip into the lexicon? Three words.
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR. As the Oracle might say: “What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, did he already have the job when he described last November's election* as a ‘speed bump’ on the way to creating a Permanent Republican Majority?”

As a Junior at the real Ridgemont High, I was inspired by Music Machine's single hit to play in and name NAKED LUNCH; the first band to play during a CHS assembly. In honor of the occasion, we opened with “When I Was Young”, and left the stage before someone told us that we would never take it again.

Almost three decades later - my VOX Tone Bender a fond memory, but a proud owner of a 100W Marshall at last - I put together TalkTime, and performed it before the stage itself was destroyed in the land grab that changed the Garden of the Gods forever.

Valentine's Day 2008, and it's LAKSMI that is the memory.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and here is MY contribution to the lexicon: “It's the RING, stupid.”

*The 24 mouths pictured above; shamelessly misleading us 24/7, turning voter against voter, American against American during the not so gentle collapsing, have failed the task I set them in September of 2005. We would all be better off if the best they could do now would be to take a vow of silence until next November's election is over. SHAME ON THEM - for never asking “Why do they hate us NOW?”

STATE of the LIE

“In a dictatorship, reality belongs to whoever has the greatest power to assert."

“A new reality in which the truth can be no longer ascertained and no longer counts."

Naomi Wolf knows. If the end of America isn't here, it's around the corner.

I don't know which is more embarrassing, George W. Bush's last SOTU or having Chris Matthews being the first to repeat it's 3 most dangerous words, a phrase I thought only I would have heard when it was all over: PROTECTIVE OVERWATCH MISSION.

Jesus's tomb (and his bones) are back in the news, along with the possibility that the Koran is a fraud.

The Japanese scare the bejeezus out of their residents with a "Water Horse" holographic projection/promotion, but the world refuses to acknowledge their greatest fear - that the crucifixion itself, was a hologram along with all the other great and unproveable moments of the World's Great Religions.

Who has the power to assert THAT reality? Perhaps the better question is WHAT. Better still, Christers and Jihadis everywhere better find out WHY?

The iParty "14 day hold" is over. The stars ARE misplaced, and the Earth HAS burned.

FOX NEWS banned any candidate from their Republican forum who doesn't place in double digits, then invited Giuliani (9%) to the Chris Wallace (Bubba sure pegged him) REPUBLICANT Forum, while blatantly ignoring Ron Paul (10%).

Rupert Murdoch employed spam filters that eliminated messages that had Ron Paul & debate in their titles or text, proving that either he could care less about those with different opinions, he bows to HIS bosses and their political agenda instead of "Fair & Balanced" ratings, or both.

Even Art Bell who consistently tamps down 9-11 Truth, announced to the C2C audience that those who cut his checks, shouldn't be allowed to "get away with this".

But they did.

Even if every American boycotted last Sunday's sham, how would we know?

Politics has been officially reduced to a football game to cover the fact that it's really more like a High School "Slam Book".

The same dozen "pundits / news contributors all" that got it wrong in Iowa are STILL ON THE AIR, forcing the same copy on us like the 21st Century Joe Pynes they are. If doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result is insanity, what would doing the same thing over and over until you force the result you want be?

Britney Spear's life is in the can - a continuous loop of footage trotted out whenever necessary to play behind the "BREAKING NEWS" banner no matter what the story (at least the Network ghouls waited until Johnny Carson was dead to test the process) - and all without a chance for her to speak. Who will speak up before all she has left is her smile?

The Closing Of The Way

The Dark Road is getting darker.

Big Pharma* is warning about their newest side effect; changes in dreaming - while providing Christians (and those that love them) with new crosses to bear - “It could have been my Daughter...”
“It could have been my Son!”

“Changes in dreaming?”

How do you know when your dreaming changes? Did Matthew Murray notice before he was rejected one time too many?

Mitt Romney intends to buy Clear Channel, while a caller drops the big one on Coast to Coast AM - Ron Paul will be assassinated by the Bilderberger Group.

Maybe the worst thing that will happen five years from today will be that George Noory, and all his guests who have tied their success to 2012, will be out of jobs.

Maybe not.

If you must pray, pray that Ron Paul lives to find out.

The operative word here is "seemed", just as "being told" was the operative phrase in my November 23rd "Death To America" post.

I'm not sure which is worse, waiting for approval in order to believe or believing in order to obtain approval itself.

Before you go drawing a line in imaginary sand, ask yourself (ask yourself being the operative phrase here) the following simple question: “Which is the more delusional - someone who has seen Jesus or someone who has seen a UFO?”

The Trap Is Set

Occam's Razor suggests that the reason there hasn't been another 9-11, is because it hasn't been necessary.

Yet.

The Bush administration is once again being accused of being incompetent and misleading the American people. Amidst the spin and possible mis-direction, one thing is NOT being said - that those who bragged about establishing a Permanment Republican Majority may just be where they want to be - the one group of people that stand to gain the most if proven "right all along".

As I've said before, it is a group that contains those who could most easily bring about the very event they warn us of.

They have an ever-closing window of opportunity (335 days) to do exactly that.

“The next attack on America will be the last because anyone left alive will deny their previous ideals, allegiances, and hopes, like a disciple pretending he has no Master 3 times before the cock crows, and THAT was the plan all along."

My Name is Michael Sterling, and everything I've said is true.

So, What About The Chip?

Tommy Thompson may have dropped out of the 2008 Presidential Race rather than admit that though he suggested the "chipping" of Americans before leaving the Bush Administration to head VeriChip - the very company that would do the chipping - he had still not been chipped himself.

It is, however, Hillary Clinton that lucked out last night, having moved on to Iowa knowing that there is yet another question she won't have to answer.

As with so much of network news, the mention that the "Lone Gunman" held Clinton campaign workers hostage in a doomed effort to speak to the "Healthcare Candidate" about the "chip in his head", surfaced only once before the focus shifted to how quickly "Campaign Carl" could plant the FOX NEWS flag at the scene.

Polls show 54% of Americans want the troops home now, 68% disapprove of Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq and 64% are against the war, 70% of American voters believe Dick Cheney has abused his powers as Vice President, and 61% definitely want him impeached.

An even higher percentage of Americans say they can handle being told of the existence of Extra-Terrestrials.

"Who's the first President you can remember?"

Born in 1949, I choose to use my 49th Presidential post on 11/11; Veteran's Day 2007, to explain why this question was important enough to be the first asked during SO SAY WE ALL.

Before Icke, I liked IKE.

I remember seeing Eisenhower on a very small black & white TV, and I heard him warn of the Military-Industrial Complex, which has surely evolved into the Military-Economic Complex of today.

I have said that George Bush is no Jack Ryan. He's no Dwight D. Eisenhower either. Try to imagine him making the speech linked to the weapons system above. A speech everyone should read at least once, especially on this day. Here's a quote: "Any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad. "

Sound familiar?

The "Greatest Generation" is almost gone. When I picked up the book of the same name, I went straight to the chapter on George Herbert Walker Bush. There was no mention of his father's support of Adolf Hitler, Skull & Bones, or Bush 41's bragging during the '40's that he would be President some day. So much for Brokaw.

Tom, however, is back. Trying to do for/to my generation what he did to/for the one the Baby-Boomers owe so much to. I went straight to the index of BOOM! to search for references to LSD. They were all vicarious mentions of the experiences of others.

As for comprehension and readiness, I'll stick with Captain Clearlight; the Henry Ford of Acid, who was 13 when WWII started, but flew on SAC B-36 Peacemakers during the Cold War - before expanding the consciousness of anyone that ever actually took a hit of windowpane during the Summer Of Love.

More on the Captain, and STRENGTH THROUGH PEACE later.

While in BOOKSTAR, I was led to the NEW AGE section where I planned to scan the index of DARK MISSION. It didn't have one.

Re-reading Jack L. Chalker's LORDS OF THE MIDDLE DARK, I find that Art is once again, able to sum up the betrayal of one generation by another with the paraphrased description of how a member of the Elite, tries to save their offspring from the perils of beating the Master System - or as the Hippies knew it - the System: "No. The System can be cheated, which is not the same thing at all. It knows we cheat. Unless we are incompetent enough or brazen enough to allow ourselves to be caught at it, It doesn't seem to mind because we cheaters do not threaten the system. The fact that we can cheat and get away with cheating is our moral authority to be the leaders and our badge of office."

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Tonight, I'll leave you with Brokaw's telling quote that ends the chapter on the leader of the Free world's father: "He believes he is owed nothing. In fact, he believes that World War II was such an overwhelming threat that those who served did so out of an obligation that should not require special treatment forevermore. He believes some veteran's organizations are wrong to keep asking for more and more benefits."

"You know what I mean?"

When SO SAY WE ALL began passing this art (TALIBISION!) out at Anti-War rallies in August of 2004, true war had yet to be unleashed on the middle class, Glenn Beck and BLACKWATER were nightmares no one could have foreseen, and Rita Cosby had no idea how busted she would one day be.

FOX NEWS however, was leading the way in explosive character-generated headlines that were kept just this side of libelous by adding a question mark, so I thought I'd ask a few questions of my own. Questions still unanswerable in 2007.

Maybe not.

Today, as I watch the FedEx KINKO's ad where a manager convinces colleagues of their positions, it's easy to imagine it's counterpart; a morning teleconference where a disembodied voice makes sure the gathered personalities know their “usual responsibilities” in the week leading up to the recent Democratic debate.

Matthews, keep up the “Main Event” attack on Hillary. Abrams, you and Carlson argue with everybody else. We'll deal with Olbermann later. (CUT TO Tucker) ... “I hate what I don't understand.”

Russert, DO NOT follow up on Kucinich's attempt to impeach Bush/Cheney, but make sure he gets the UFO question. (CUT TO Russert) ...whistles “Twilight Zone” theme.

Richard C. Hoagland has been reduced to acknowledging how he, and through him, the COAST TO COAST AM audience have been duped by the Bush Administration. Adding insult to injury, he's forced to make his confession as the C2C "Science Advisor"; a questionable honorific bestowed on him by George Noory, who is just as fond of "interviewing" Jerome Corsi; whose creation of "Swift-Boating" arguably saddled us with George W. Bush for a second term.

Noory may be just doing his job, as so are the people whose job is ignoring and marginalizing Hoagland. A job easier now than ever after the Hoagland/Art Bell RKO split.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong by detailed C2C follow-ups on the DARK MISSION October 30 NPC, or the Wisdom and Conscious Life Festival/EXPO appearances in early November.

The Asterisk Presidency

My Name is Michael Sterling, and here's my version of what America is thinking.

THE LIGHT OF DAY

The crashing of an airliner by a foreigner into an American landmark, the removal of Saddam Hussein and the subsequent take over of Iraq by Iran, collusion between China and India; allies of the new United Islamic Republic, an UIR Ebola bio-war attack against America, and the subsequent declaration of martial law by the President of the United States; a Vice-President thrust into office not just by the death of the man who chose him, but by the decapitation of Congress itself.

All written in 1996.

The biggest difference in our post 9-11 reality is that George W. Bush is no Jack Ryan, and even Thomas H. Clancy Jr. couldn't have predicted that.

I didn't finish "Executive Orders" when it came out, but someone else sure did. Racing through the final chapters now, it's hard to see how they didn't pin 9-11 on Clancy instead of Osama when the first tower was struck.

The "willing suspension of disbelief" is what's necessary to enjoy fiction, but what we may be faced now is what someone might actually do under those very circumstances.

Someone obviously thought that taking out Saddam and taking over Iraq before Iran did was a good idea, and they were banking on our unwillingness to suspend our belief in the Presidency.

Maybe, but it was done the way a villian would, and Americans are beginning to suffer for the actions of their failed leader as surely as the people of Iran ended up doing in Clancy's scenario.

In "Red Storm Rising", Tom Clancy may have single-handedly talked the Soviets out of World War III with his brutal description of what would happen to them if they tried anything. It might work on the hidden leaders of Iran. Unfortunately, the Bush Doctrine appears to have been formulated without the diplomacy and honesty that are at the heart of the Ryan Doctrine.

Inserting one name for another is not enough.

Ray Bradbury is still angry at Michael Moore for swiping one of his more famous titles. Hopefully, one of my favorite authors won't mind my referencing his chapter when the tide turns for this post. It's dark-thirty in America, and we have been kept sleeping by those who cannot afford to have Americans see their strategy in the light of day.

As for Mr. Clancy; a patriot with game, he will have an honored place in a Sterling Administration. I hope he will accept it.

The Petraeuyal

I was recently in a motel room in Minnesota - miles from my computer, and enjoying it - when I turned on HBO to see James Gandolfini's post-Soprano effort, Alive Day Memories; Home From Iraq. As I quickly found out, ALIVE DAY is what modern soldiers call the day they are out of the Army & Iraq; free, and still alive.

As moving as Art can be, Tony Soprano interviewing some of the over 27,000 injured & maimed soldiers that have lost limbs in the conflict planned from DAY ONE of the Bush Administration, intercut with actual insurgent released video of the very moment their sacrifice for George W. Bush was caught on film, made me proud to be an American.

At one point, the images were so horrendous that I thought: "If Bush were to see this, he'd kill himself."

The first President to die by his own hand in the White House.

The night before, I'd watched "Bury my heart at Wounded Knee" with Fred Thompson as Ulysses S. Grant; the second worst President in history (a role Fred appears hell-bent on reprising), nodding his tacit approval of the destruction of the American Indian. Ward Churchill has been right about the manifest destiny of the little Eichmanns all along.

I couldn't find any Minnesotans that were proud of their President.

His suicide; not such a leap when the only place he can go is a secure military base with a captive audience, might just be triggered by a lethal comment from his Wife at the wrong time, in the wrong place, for the right reason.

In defending George's baby-boomer tears, I told my Minnesotan hosts that his "crying" admission spoke well of the kid that grew up under his Father's thumb, and is still in there somewhere, but had to close with: "there's two kinds of people that are moved to tears. Those that are thankful and overwhelmed by the life that they have lived, and those that are guilty and ashamed of their actions and are ever more afraid of the impending punishment they know they deserve.

Six years after 9-11, it seems pretty obvious to America which their President is.

I had found it suspicious that the Petraeus Report would bookend 9-11, but with the arrest of Cindy Sheehan (again) speaking out in the most logical place for the Mother of a dead son killed by United States foreign policy, it's now obvious why.

With the newest Executive Orders that define dissent against the Bush Administration as a threat to National Security, one can only wonder if hoping to goad us into revolutionary action so we can be thrown into jail as enemy combatants to the cheers of Bill O'Reilly, Michell Malkin, and Geraldo, isn't the real reason they've "waited until September" in the first place.

I coined "The Petraeuyal" before Independence Day. It spoke to independence, not Gen. Petraeus himself, but today, the anniversary of 9-11 is giving FOX NEWS the perfect platform to set up their guillotine for the heads of moveon.org for the obvious rhyme: "betray us".

This is still America.

So?

The fact that those in power in China are tamasic (Google it) thugs who would rather look stupid in order to pick the next Dalai Lama, is at the top of the tactics page in the Bush Administration handbook.

A true tipping point; perhaps THE tipping point, China's Politburo has proven how easy a country can be defiled by its leaders. The point is not to fear the Chinese, but to understand how easily the rest of the world can fear America.

They DO NOT fear Americans. They fear our policies; our interference in their freeedom, in their own countries, and China has provided history's greatest example of blowback yet; a planet-wide warning of the abuse of the many by the few. A textbook example of what absolute power corrupting absolutely actually looks like.

Just because a foreign power has made such a spiritually ignorant decision to the detriment of it's own people, doesn't mean that we're not right behind them.

We are all exiles. Some just don't know it yet.

The fourteenth Dalai Lama is committed to the liberation of ALL sentient beings, as his politically appointed successor will certainly not be. The 44th President Of The United States can bring it home for ALL Americans, unlike his Supreme Court installed predecessor.

It's up to you.

Reign Of Terror

An on-air news contributor was syllables away from disclosing that Pat Tillman was triple-tapped to the head when the MSNBC "BREAKING NEWS" graphic wiped the screen; replacing him with the first image of the collapsed I-35W bridge.

There has been no mention of Pat Tillman since.

I have met the new Manson Family, and I'll take my chances with them rather than those responsible for the unabated retreat mining of the United States.

If today's Executive Orders and signing statements had been in place in 2006, Macaca would be in Gitmo for ending George Allen's presidential campaign and threatening National Security.

The first Muslim Congressman only got a destroyed bridge hours after apologizing for declaring 9-11 an inside job.

On that very day, an Oregon Congressman's request to view NSPD-51 was refused by the White House.

Let's hope Portland isn't the next target.

The 7 New Deadly Sins

In 1997; as an Art Director for Planetary Mysteries, I suggested we put up a page that spoke to the need for NEW Wonders Of The World, or Worlds. I immediately nominated the Face On Mars, The Internet, and Roger Water's performance of The Wall; LIVE in Berlin.

Ten years later, Yahoo! made it official with a list of 7 new wonders of the world.

Seven years into the Bush Administration, I now suggest that there are 7 new Deadly Sins. Not nouns; abstract actions to be avoided, but verbs - things that have already been done - acts already committed by those who ignored the original seven to their, and our peril.

Special thanks to Prof. Rodrigue Tremblay who first brought them to my attention.

1/ Pre-emptive war. The 2002 'Bush Doctrine', in asserting the right for the U.S. to invade other nations for vague reasons of social engineering, nation building or regime change, represents a repudiation of the Nuremberg Principles and the United Nations Charter's ban on wars of aggression, both strongly supported by American leaders sixty years ago. For example, the Nuremberg Charter stipulates that “To initiate a war of aggression… is not only an international crime, it is the supreme international crime." As for the U.N. Charter, its Preamble says that it has been established "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war", not to guarantee it.

2/ The March 15, 2004 National Security Agency's wire-tapping and domestic spying program was authorized by the Bush-Cheney White House, without Justice Department approval and over the objections of then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. This was an illegal program of domestic spying, because it violated the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which established a panel of judges to hear wiretap requests in secret. When a government begins to violate the law, there is no way of knowing in advance where this will lead and how far it will go. It makes everyone guilty until proven innocent.

3/ The Defense Authorization Act of 2006 (H.R. 1815), passed by Congress on September 30 2006, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 17, 2006, empowers the president to impose martial law in the event of a terrorist “incident,” if he or other federal officials perceive a shortfall of “public order”. The resort to martial law could come, for example, as a response to a terrorist attack, but it is not excluded that it could be imposed if some antiwar protests were to get unruly or after any major political disturbance. As the current Bush-Cheney administration got away with declared a war abroad on a manufactured pretext, they can now impose martial law at home in the same way.

4/ October 17, 2006, President George W. Bush signed into law S.3930, the Military Commissions Act, a law that cancels the right of habeas corpus for foreigners accused of terrorism and for both Americans and foreigners who have been designated as “enemy combatants” by the Executive branch. Under this law, any individual, citizen or non-citizen, can be deprived of the protection of due process at the whim of the Executive branch, and be imprisoned indefinitely without legal recourse. —The United States may be the only country in the world where the right of habeas corpus has been suspended and yet is still being called a 'democratic' country.

5/ The John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (H.R. 5122) changed the name of the key provision in the statute book from “Insurrection Act” to “Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act.” While the U.S. Insurrection Act of 1807 stated that the president could deploy troops within the United States only “to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy”, the new law allows the president not only to declare martial law and rule by decree, but it also gives the president the power to take charge of United States National Guard troops without the states’ governors’ authorization. The law also expands the list of such permissible cases for martial law to include “natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition.” Such “condition” is not defined or limited in scope. All the safeguards against the use of the military at home have been removed in favor of new powers being given to the president to do so nearly at his whim.

6/ The practice of submitting detainees to torture and to other degrading treatments despite the clear obligation not to do so under international law and under U.S. law. It is truly amazing that the Bush-Cheney White House had to be reminded by the Supreme Court, in June 2006, that it had to abide by the Geneva Conventions.

7/ The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed by President George W. Bush on May 4, 2007 - an event that was generally not covered by U.S. mainstream media or discussed by the U.S. Congress - goes even further and declares that in the event of an undefined “catastrophic event”, either here or abroad - the president can become what is best described as a de facto dictator: "The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government."

From a stolen election, to the latest signing statement. For inaction, and complicity in the deadly events of September 11, 2001 - the uncontested justification which allowed all these new sins to be committed - George W. Bush, his administration, and all who voted for them, must atone or face their just reward. The true terror that no Soul can fight.

DO IT NOW, before the United States ends up face down with BUSH carved into it's back. Rodrigue already has.

Suddenly, Last Summer

This post is not about The Motels, or even Sandra Ford joking with Martha Davis about success... and having to buy their Daughters BMW's.

GOD Bless Bob ABEL!

It's not about Richard Hoagland; who refused to have anything to do with the UFO Culture, yukking it up with George Noory... LIVE, at the 60th Anniversary Roswell Celebration.

How IS the Enterprise Mission's Art Director?

It's about Time Itself.

The illusion that allows the sealed affadavit of Walter P. Haut; one of the few people who may have truly known what happened in New Mexico six decades ago, and the NEW fact that it describes the crashed "disc" for the first time - as windowless and egg-shaped - to go unnoticed by Hoagland, Noory, and the rest of the UFO experts that have waited so long for just such a document... apparently only to see if only their personal theories are confirmed.

Windowless and egg-shaped. The very craft that Lonnie Zamora confronted in Soccorro New Mexico just years later. Noory doesn't believe in coincidence, but this one slid right by him and all his guests; researchers that should be running around with their hair on fire, but are blessing the 2012 opening of a proposed Roswell Theme Park instead, and joking that if the Aliens return... they'll have to pay for parking like everyone else.

Like Elizabeth Taylor's white bathing suit that became translucent when she was dragged into the sea in 1959, we've been allowed just enough DISCLOSURE to keep us looking while her insane gay date sizes us up from a distance... his appetite even more insatiable than ours.

Dr. Heywood Floyd explained to movie audiences across the world in 1968 why the truth about Extra-Terrestrial contact would be hidden from the masses, and I doubt those who made that decision will lose sleep tonight about keeping that secret SECRET as they monitor Coast To Coast AM.



"I'm sure you are all aware of the extremely grave potential for
cultural shock and social disorientation contained in this present situation if the facts were prematurely and suddenly made public without adequate preparation and conditioning."

Our Right, Our Duty

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Paris talks. Libby walks. The Petraeuyal is coming. Bush and Osama are playing to The Base, and it's hard to tell which will have the most destructive impact on America.

Hypocrisy IS the 8th Deadly Sin.

As I begin this post, Keith Olbermann is preparing to demand the resignation of Bush/Cheney for the good of the Nation. I don't think anyone can state it any simpler than that.

I WILL.

With a picture worth a thousand words - words you'll finally hear* over this July 4th weekend.



*If not, here's three words from Crestone that sum up our right, our duty.

134 Days Later...

Paris Hilton; imprisoned within the Twin Towers, is not the only one suffering from a Sauer stomach. The President Of The United States had to take a "nap" when his Missile Shield move was put in check by a Russian that should not be played with.

I wonder who has the guiltier conscience?

WAR DAYS

Cindy Sheehan was always right. She still is.

Harry Reid was wrong. It's not just the Iraq War that's lost, it's America.

"They" don't hate us, they hate Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, and Glenn Beck. When the slaughter begins, History will judge who the true extremists truly were, and how "they" finally brought about the very destruction we all suffered whether anyone actually deserved it or not. Constantly stirring their slurry of Fear & Panic. Continually supporting the troops until every last one was dead or maimed. Kissing the armor plated ass of the wrong Mars, and turning us against each other every chance they got.

Not Cindy, who has left the fray while still above it.

I celebrated Memorial Day by watching FAIL-SAFE at one in the morning.

Shuddering at the thought of George W. Bush in Henry Fonda's role, and brought to tears by the squeal of the melting phone in Moscow... the streets of Fay Lumet's New York in it's final moments, I was left with the final words of Rod Serling's most famous Astronaut; cantering down Zuma Beach with Nova lovingly attached, yet driven to his knees before the rusted and mangled remains of the Statue Of Liberty as he realizes that "they" had finally done it: "DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"

Not Cindy; a Mother any Son can be proud of.

My Name is Michael Sterling, and it was a long weekend. Four years too long.

The Return Of Slavery

Damnesty. Life Takes ViZa. Whatever you call it, it's a secret agreement agreed upon behind closed doors; by officials who hold dual citizenship - officials whose companies have offices in Dubai, Kazakhstan, and who knows where else.

A cabinet level Secretary of Homeland Security who does not swear allegiance to the United States alone.

For now, everyone in America should watch the first half-hour of "The Handmaid's Tale", "Fortress", and THE STAND... if you still have rental money.

THE MULE IS HERE.

As before, so today.

"One wonders what Bush & Co. are setting up with the new Presidential Directive. What if, heaven forbid, some sort of catastrophic event were to occur just before the 2008 election? Bush could use this directive to suspend the election. This administration has gone to great lengths to remain in Iraq. It has built huge permanent military bases and pushed to privatize Iraq's oil. Bush and Cheney may be unwilling to relinquish power to a successor administration."
