conspiracy theory of the day: north american union

October 31, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

Watch the video, my comments are below. (hat tip: bizbuzz) Been reading about the North American Union for awhile, and the new currency the “Amero”, it’s been on television, on Lou Dobbs and elsewhere. And, as the dollar slides into oblivion, it seems more and more plausible, and the appearance of a dastardly plan seems [...]

This is what is affectionately called “getting rhetorically thrown under the bus”: News of the immunity deal caught State Department officials in Washington off guard. “If anyone gave such immunity it was done so without consulting senior leadership at State,” a senior State Department official initially told ABC News. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack would [...]

Even a good fiction writer couldn’t come up with stuff this good: “We’re near the end of the year, and there really isn’t much to show for it,” Bush told reporters following a meeting with House GOP leaders. “The House of Representatives has wasted valuable time on a constant stream of investigations, and the Senate [...]

Jakeneck Archives: I feel so safe

October 28, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

So, am going to be posting some oldies but goodies from the Jakeneck days. Things that are still important after a few years. Here’s one about an American citizen who suffered from mental illness who was gunned down by Marshall’s for creating a scene on an airplane. It’s important to remember the level of fear [...]

Language is a Virus from Outer Space

October 12, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

Classic Laurie Anderson song, riffing on the William Burroughs quote. (And, the Terrence McKenna idea that mushrooms came from outer space and helped to foster language, religion and general growth in early humans.)

Which leads one to wonder: Does she have a [...]

chickens, roost, Iraq and reality

October 4, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

While nearly everyone was falling into the pit of snakes that was The Petraeus Ruse, the facts were quietly and diligently marching on… the news was not good. And, no one seemed to notice that acclaimed Iraqi blogger Riverbend of Baghdad Burning announced that she and her family were leaving Iraq for reasons she is [...]

October 3, 2007 by DJ Lanphier

From Oxford American, an interesting article on the making of Dylan’s seminal Blonde on Blonde album in 1966. And, here’s a clip from No Direction Home of Dylan singing “Visions of Johanna”. Simply amazing. buzz-twang : news and views : blog
