The Vidiot's weekly blog: What pissed me off this week? 7/18/2005 (updated every Monday at some point during the day) ...'cause I'm angry and my friends are sick of listening to me... Track your congresscritters here!
Free stuff can be found here Mirror (in case geocities is wacky or, in case of trouble in New York, check it for messages): http://129.79.148.33/vidiotcontact/ This issue might be little less than all that. I've started my vacation and I'm a little, uh, distracted. Also, may or may not update next weekend. Depends on what I do. OK, so now bear with me. You know your week is weird when you hear a media sycophant actually speaking the truth: Tim Russert said "If this were a democratic Whitehouse, we'd have congressional hearings in a second." (Though, to put it back to where we understand it, FOX's John Gibson said Rove deserves a medal and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough's guest said the media should be shot for giving Wilson the time of day.) The Whitehouse has been trying their darndest to deal with the Wilsongate/Plamegate issue. By either spinning questions from a suddenly interested media or ignoring them altogether. They're really beginning to feel the heat, especially since Cooper has said that Rove was his source. And the icing on THAT cake is now, Scooter Libby's name is starting to pop up. THAT path leads DIRECTLY to DICK CHENEY! (Pardon my use of all caps, by I'm terribly excited by THAT.) And just how did it all happen? Well, here's my theory of the week: Judith Miller was carrying her usual bucket of water for the Neocons. Here's a few money quotes from a must-read article.
and
How'z 'dem apples! Now it's beginning to all make sense, isn't it? The neocons, who are in control of the Pentagon (and therefore our foreign policy) had access to the information, and didn't want any of their information discredited because their agenda is all about controlling the Middle East and they used their favorite propagandist, Judith Miller, to disseminate the information for them. Makes perfect sense! On top of that, if there are serious neocon connections to this, you can bet it will also lead to some connections to the AIPAC investigation. (Check out Wayne Madsen's stuff on this. But be careful. He's breathless and emotional. Grains of salt are necessary.) Remember, Michael Ledeen might have had a little something to do with the forged Niger papers. (Ledeen was working with Feith at the OSP (AKA The Lie Factory) and met with SISME shortly before the forgeries surfaced. This is bigger than big and if it doesn't explode in the Bushies faces, it'll only be because of the amount of control this administration has over EVERYTHING.

Oh for crying out loud. The only people who would attack the internet are people who don't like that's being said on the internet. I doubt very much that "terrorists" would take down the net since they need the net to communicate as much as we do.
And that reminds me, everything about cell phones being used to set of the London bombs must be bogus. That one train was 150 feet underground and I don't know anyone in London who could get cell service down there. Like the mysterious cell-phone calls on 9/11, this one doesn't really ring true either. Here's a link and here's the theory: There were terror drills that were happening that day. Maybe someone hired a bunch of muslim guys to carry packages onto the trains. These guys were told to just walk on the trains with packages. I mean, if you look at who they're saying the guys are, it's odd that they would commit suicide. One had a baby on the way. Another just had a baby. It makes no sense. Then, the delay of the bus bomb, and the fourth guy probably hearing about the other bombs and wondering WTF? That's why there are descriptions of the guy kinda' acting weird and nervous, checking the bag. He's probably, "is this a bomb?! [BOOM!]" (I found this anectdotal thing on some BBS thing that I didn't cut and paste with links. Sorry). On top of that, there are so many similarities to 9/11 it's scary. Websites in Texas, Indestructable IDs, Convenient malfunctions, Unexplained shut downs, Same Security Company, Changing Story, Market Manipulation Bogus, man. BOGUS. Beneath the Radar In the midst of Plamegate, London bombs and the SCOTUS problems, look for the administration to slither Bolton into the UN during a recess.

Bubble go POP! Now, if the terrorists REALLY had a plan to destroy the United States, they'd just have to muck around with our real estate market.
Or maybe they already have...
Though, they don't have to do much.
Greed is, well, greed. The corptocracy is running at full -throttle. Enron Board of directors just voted to boost their salaries by like $1 million.
And it's OK to rip people off in Iraq.
News of the Weird Visions of "Planet of the Apes" or a George Bush joke? You decide.
And speaking of weird biology.
There's hope for all of us.
This would explain our media.
No matter where it is, we'll pollute it.
What do we do about all of this crap? I have no idea. Part of me wants to start teach-ins at my local pub. Just go to the bar, rant and rave and inform the idiots who still think Brian Williams is telling them the truth. I sincerely believe that if we protected the voting rights of the underprivileged that any Democrat could SWEEP any election. I don't think Democrats are the answer. But they are at least a start. At the very least, point your CNN-loving friends to my links page. Just getting started in reading alternate news sites gets people thinking. I have one friend who was very happy-go-lucky, thinking ol' Greta was telling the whole truth until I opened up his eyes a bit. Now, he's all depressed. He'll get over it. You gotta' get depressed before you get angry and you gotta' get angry before you can accomplish anything. We're all in mourning. We have to move through the steps. But we gotta' hurry it up. Read. Inform. Spread the word. Even if it means your friends avoid you for awhile. If they really love you, they'll start to listen.
"POSSE COMITATUS ACT" (18 USC 1385): A Reconstruction Era criminal law proscribing use of Army (later, Air Force) to "execute the laws" except where expressly authorized by Constitution or Congress. Limit on use of military for civilian law enforcement also applies to Navy by regulation. Dec '81 additional laws were enacted (codified 10 USC 371-78) clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies--including the Coast Guard--especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g., use of facilities, vessels, aircraft, intelligence, tech aid, surveillance, etc.) while generally prohibiting direct participation of DoD personnel in law enforcement (e.g., search, seizure, and arrests). For example, Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) serve aboard Navy vessels and perform the actual boardings of interdicted suspect drug smuggling vessels and, if needed, arrest their crews). Positive results have been realized especially from Navy ship/aircraft involvement.
