Green Shirt ~ 1979

Better cut off all identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table

'Cause somewhere in the "Quisling Clinic"
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening in to the Venus line
She's picking out names
I hope none of them are mine

But you tease, and you flirt...

Never said I was a stool pigeon
I never said I was a diplomat
Everybody is under suspicion
But you don't wanna hear about that

'Cause you tease, and you flirt...

Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?

You tease, and you flirt...
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself
But somebody's gonna get it....

East of the Sun, West of the Moon

So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky
and delayed going down about a full day.
~Joshua 10:13

And beware
lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and when you see the sun, moon, and stars,
even all the host of the heavens,
you be drawn away and worship them
and serve them,
things which the Lord your God
has allotted to all nations
under the whole heaven.

MrsOC's Feral House of Bongos Presents: ROSEBUD

The Angel Louis
La Vie En Rose

There are miniature roses
outside my bedroom window
They are smaller than
you’d ever believe true.
Their tiny leaves
serrated edges
perfect in their little world
The infinitesimal perfection
of the little drops of dew.
In morning sunlight bathing they,
with colors bright and subtle
Their little hearts of crimson,
pink and yellow
One hardly can believe that these,
the work of angel hands
Could leave one a distinctly wounded fellow.

To prune these nature’s darlings
one needs wear a canvas shroud
Or better still a chain mail steel lined burka
Or maybe best of all go to the local shape up yards
And get illegal aliens to work her.

For the miniature roses may be glorious to see
Enchanting even more than that to smell
But if you get too near to them
I guarantee you this
You’ll know why they raise rosebuds
down in hell.

The world is coming to its end

Like the sled upon the fire
In twenty twelve the skies will bend
Earth fall to cosmic ire
And on that day, December twelve?
In the year of doom most vile
I suppose I'll have no choice but delve
Into my favorite vial
Thus bid "adieu" to earthly modes
As well to earthly crud
A final toast as I drop the globe
And whisper, at last "Rosebud"
~Lucius Septimius


Opening the car door
I pause
Looking at the buds
On the rose bush
The first blush of rosebuds
In the morning dew
Meanwhile, I try to drag
Bags of sand
Fifty pounds of play sand
From the side of the van
Carefully avoiding
The sweet swelling buds
Of pink and white
A rose vine taken
From beside an Alabama road
They formed a phalanx
On a pasture fence
And now this bit of rural
Bliss, echo of simpler times
Of cattle in the fields
And the sound of roosters
Crowing in the chill morn
While fog lingers
Over the lower fields
Rich, verdant before
Distant dark clouds
Of departing nightly storms
Sacks of sand on my shoulder
Precarious, gently trying
To find a path and avoid
The thorns, like talons
Ripping at my clothes and legs
On one foot, balancing sand
And attempting to close
The heavy van doors
Caught by the runners
With their ripe blushing buds
Of pink, and white
And now a touch of red
From my own sentimental blood.
~Lucius Septimius




Rosebud
I great man he
reached his end
in a place he knew

Rosebud.
~PK All Day






A rose by any other name,
As Shakespeare said, t'would smell the same,
As its sweet self!
No matter where,
Its perfume rare,
Wafting on the Summer air;
From East to South, and North to West,
It's essence that's the real test!
Petals, stem, the rose's face,
Are naught, without the perfume's trace.

More than a coincidence: Minarets, geography and power

The building of new mosques has become an issue throughout European cities, from Munich to London. In some places, such as Italy, Switzerland and Greece, governments have struggled to prevent their erection. Yet while there is controversy over their very construction, there is usually very little questioning about why they are built where they are built.

"The people of Sultanwas are in great distress," Abbas said at a news conference. "Nobody is being allowed to move out of Sultanwas."

He also said militants killed a police officer and threw his body into a river in Swat, but said the peace deal centered on the valley remained "intact."

A spokesman for the Taliban in Swat insisted they were sticking to the peace process. The militants in Buner were all local Taliban, Muslim Khan said.

The 3rd International Conference on Investment and Privatisation organised by Iran Chamber of Commerce and Industry in collaboration with Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry will begin at Tehran today (Wednesday).

The objective of the event is to explore intra-OIC investment opportunities and to share country experiences on privatisation as a tool for economic growth. Chairman of Pak-Iran Business Council, Tariq Sayeed will address the session on reform, issues and experience of investment process in OIC countries.

Durban Diary, Closing Day - Another undignified spectacle

The UN conference, known as Durban II, ended on Friday with the UN scrambling to spin it as something other than what it was - an allegedly anti-racism forum that provided the world's leading racist and genocidal maniac a global soapbox. While Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the world "the word 'Zionism' personifies racism" - the UN was busy translating his speech into six languages with Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon remaining fixed to his chair immediately behind him.

But UN High Commissioner and Secretary General of the Conference Navi Pillay remembers things differently. She told a news conference Friday that Durban II was "a celebration of tolerance and dignity for all."

Behold the seizure of your food sources:

In response to this food crisis, the United Nations established a High-Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis, under the leadership of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. It brought together the Heads of the United Nations specialized agencies, funds and programmes, the Bretton Woods institutions and relevant parts of the United Nations Secretariat.

(If that don't scare ya nothing will! -bz)

The aim of the task force was to create a plan of action in response to the crisis and coordinate its implementation. The result is the Comprehensive Framework for Action, which proposes ways and means to respond to threats and opportunities resulting from high food prices; create policy changes to avoid future food crises; and contribute to national, regional and international food and nutrition security.

China's New Power Couple

A husband-and-wife team is leading China's financial and trade disputes with the United States. Her husband, China's central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan, may have dominated headlines with his call for a global de-pegging from the dollar. But Li Ling is extremely powerful too and will find herself in the spotlight more in the coming years.

Zhou Xiaochuan's wife, Li, runs the Treaty and Laws department of China's Ministry Of Commerce, which has played a central role in handling China's trade disputes with the United States under the World Trade Organization. China is becoming increasingly aggressive about both fighting and launching WTO suits against the U.S. (See "China's Coming Of Age In The WTO War"), as the global economic slump has prompted a surge in protectionist measures by many foreign governments.

Together, Zhou and Li are playing key roles in running China's powerful financial and trade relationships with the U.S. and the rest of the world. As the U.S. tries to defend its position in the world economic pecking order, U.S. officials will be encountering much more of this husband-and-wife team.

Barack Obama aglow after 100-day honeymoon - just like Carter

Advisers who publicly mock the theme of 100 days have been discreetly parcelling out made-to-order anecdotes to the press, each one designed to show how decisive, far-thinking or cool under pressure he is.

100 days: Half-truths and contradictions
MFing Enchanting!

Obama: State's Secrets Privilege Too Broad. I Know! I've Used It

Scherer asked the President to reconcile that contradiction. And Obama's answer was...a bit disingenuous. "I actually think that the state secrets doctrine should be modified," he said. "I think right now it's overbroad."

So why has he been hiding behind its breadth? "We're in for a week, and suddenly we've got a court filing that's coming up...and we don't have the time to think up what an overarching form that doctrine should take."

But it's hard to square that with what the administration's actually done. DOJ lawyers haven't asked the courts for more time, or to withhold key pieces of information. Rather, they've argued that these cases--Jewel v NSA, Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v Obama, and Mohammed v Jeppesen Dataplan--be tossed out entirely. And they've done that by invoking the state secrets privilege. In fact, in Jewel, the administration went so far as to claim "sovereign immunity" for the government from just about any lawsuit involving wiretapping. That position is even more radical than Bush's was.

OHIO: Arrest may have sparked riot

An underage drinking arrest in Kent may have prompted thousands of people who erupted into a riot on East College Avenue Saturday to hurl bottles, rocks and other debris at police. Kent Police Chief James Peach said at a press conference Monday morning officers patrolled the street on foot throughout the day Saturday as students participated in “College Fest,” an unofficial block party celebrating the near-end of the school year.

Peach said five arrests were made between 3:30 and 7 p.m. without incident until approximately 7:54 p.m., when officers attempted to arrest a girl for underage drinking and she began screaming in protest.

Resolution Pitch from FDIC Chief

Though she has appeared neutral on the subject in the past, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair pointedly argued Monday that her agency should gain the power to step in when any systemically important company gets into trouble.

Appearing at the Economic Club of New York, Bair said the FDIC has more expertise and experience than any current or future agency at cleaning up gigantic nonbanks, and even offered hints on how she might do it.

"The FDIC is up to the task, and whether alone or in conjunction with other agencies, the FDIC is central to the solution," she said.

Execs Predict "New World Order" for Financial Services
Whoops.... they said it again.

“The three trends – toward specialization, client orientation and improved efficiency – are triggering a restructuring wave on a greater scale than ever before, eroding margins and forcing all firms to reconsider their value propositions and their core business models,” said Shanker Ramamurthy, global managing partner for banking and financial markets at IBM Global Business Services.

“The new industry will not only lack some of the great brand names of the past, but will also lack many of its past characteristics – from excessive risk taking, opacity and leverage, to massively high returns.”

In the future, executives predicted, firms will continuously assess their risks and returns across each line of business and adjust their business mix accordingly. At the same time, these systems will also enable firms to refine client service through improved understanding of profitability by business line and product, as well as by individual client.

Executives also expect growth to remain sluggish through 2012.

At the OIC:
A Call For: "An economics revolution grounded in Islamic economics"

Sidek said this while opening the International Conference on Islamic Economies and Economies of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) Countries here today.

His speech was read out by the International Islamic University (IIU) rector, Prof Datuk Seri Dr Syed Arabi Idid.

The event, also attended by OIC secretary general Prof Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, was organised by the IIU and the Islamic Development Bank (IDB).

According to Sidek, who is also IIU president, the faith of the world in the dominant paradigm of economics has been shaken by the current crisis and some "very serious questions are being raised about its fundamental tenets."

"As the world's leading economies, which preach laissez-faire capitalism, embrace wider government intervention and over-arching regulations, there are many of the opinion that socialism is making a comeback.

"So, is it time to think of the possibility of an economics revolution grounded in Islamic economics?," Sidek asked.

WOE UNTO THE POPES OF LAODICEA!

Q: Most books on Islam make me paranoid. Your book gave me hope.

A: Many of them breed more fear than anything else. There’s enough fear going around these days: finances, terrorism, Obama. I didn’t think we need another book about Islam and the coming Jihad. But they sell pretty well. They do. That’s why I’m surprised at how well this book is selling. People love sensationalism and what makes news are negative stories, not “Muslims are nicer than you think.” But I think it’s the message the church needs to hear. I believe it reflects the heart of Jesus.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) warned us to look to history for the examples of two-tiered systems of justice:

“The foundational essence of America is that we are all created equal, and that word ‘created’ is pretty important because it means we are all God’s children,” Franks said. “The danger whenever we elevate one group for special protection over another is that we inevitably in every sense of the word diminish the protection of others in society… the very thing that was behind the ideas centuries and decades ago when we said that the Jew was untermensch in the high tribunal of Germany and we said that the black man was property. When we begin to make distinctions between God’s children we step into very dangerous territory.

"This legislation does exactly that. It not only makes distinctions between God’s children, it also does something that is unique: it criminalizes thought processes, it criminalizes motivations, and whenever we do that, we go and strike at the very heart of freedom itself.”

The Rev. Anthony Evans of the National Black Church Initiative warned of the danger to the pulpit of opening this Pandora’s Box: “I believe that the black church knows what is unequal. We don’t need to be taught what is unequal. I am here to represent 34,000 African American churches and preachers around this country and I’m here to protect the divine right to speak the word of God and to not have our sermons censored by the Human Rights Campaign. Fundamentally, here, [Rep. John] Conyers is a good man, I’m a Democrat… but on this issue I prayerfully disagree on the definition of hate. I do not believe that this is the way you pay your political friends back, by muting God’s men and women for preaching the Gospel.”

The hate crimes legislation is expected to reach the House floor today.

$3.55 Trillion Budget Passes; Hate Crime Bill Slides through House

In yet another Democrat move toward the doubleplusungood Orwellian state, the House voted to pass federal hate crimes legislation yesterday that elevates one class of victims of crime for higher federal protections than everyone else based on any one of 30 definitions of sexual orientation including pedophiles, exhibitionists, necrophiliacs and those who choose bestiality as their sexual identity. While the bill was in committee, Democrats refused amendments to limit the scope of eligible sexual orientations for these claims, including the rejection of a bill specifically crafted to exclude a protected status for pedophiles.

“This bill designates in particular gender identity for federally protected status,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), chairman of the House Republican caucus. “Without, I might add, any evidence of any hate crimes occurring against individuals for gender identity.”

As HUMAN EVENTS reported yesterday, the hate crimes legislation creates many other horrors in addition to this new class of federally-protected crime victim.

The bill next moves to the Senate for consideration.

The vote in the House broke down 249-187 with 18 Republicans crossing over to vote with Democrats, while 17 Democrats voted against passage with 10 members not voting.

Camp Godless

After all, surely everyone has the right to toast marshmallows around the fire, even if they don't really believe in it.

Is Richard Dawkins Britain's biggest bigot?
OOO loooook I see a light hovering right over this dude's head.
Bingo, Poppy. Go Gettum.

How deeply ironic then that Dawkins turns out to be just as stridently intolerant and bigoted as the religious fundamentalists he is always ranting about.

Truth, and Religion Masquerading as ‘Science'

Consider for a moment this statement made by one of the world’s foremost evolutionists, Richard Dawkins. In his book titled “The Blind Watchmaker”, Mr. Dawkins states: Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” Mr. Dawkins is saying that he knows that biological systems appear to have been designed for a purpose. But then rejects this by stating that all biological systems “have no designer or purpose, they randomly evolved.”

Sir Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of DNA also states: “Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.” (Science & Design)

So here we have two of the greatest evolution scientists in the world today making the claim that biological systems appear to have been designed, but they weren’t.

Chilean Who Refused to Leave Active Volcano Area Dies

One of the almost 70 people who refused to leave the southern Chilean town of Chaiten, devastated by the eruption of the like-named volcano, has been found in his home dead of hypothermia, the press said on Tuesday.

Jose Alberto Paredes, 35, lived in a house near the Blanco River in Chaiten at some 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) south of Santiago, and was known for his absolute refusal to leave the town after the volcano erupted.

The victim was one of the Chaiten "rebels," who survive without basic services and with the permanent risk of explosions and outpourings of lava and ash.

WFRL: The Sky Is Falling

Stuck Mojo
The Sky Is Falling

Why don't we look at life
As being this mixed up puzzle box
You have all these clues
And you put these pieces together here and there
And they add up to something grand
I say that we've destroyed our planet
That we've already reached that breaking point
And we're dying
We're on a dying planet
We're at the end
We are literally living in the book of revelations
We're living at the end
The hope of the world is gone

People call me crazy
Say I'm paranoid
Like the boy crying wolf
But I see the truth
I see it coming down on the TV news
Just a little glue
To put the pieces together
Gonna take a look behind the scenes
Gonna get inside the end times machine
Understand who's pulling at the strings
Another step closer to forever
World's burning
Plain to see
Like dominoes
They fall 1-2-3
All in line with the prophecy
I can't believe I'm the only one

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If the sky should fall before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

The Sky is Falling
Right before my eyes
I've got nothing left
Except my will to survive
The Sky is falling
And there's blood on my hands
There no place to run to
God help me understand

Could it be the things I hear and see
Are signs that the sky is falling
the end is coming
I feel like I'm living on borrowed time
With a sorrowed mind
And I'm close to my last breath
Death is near
And it's calling me
Telling me to get righteous
Before they click my light-switch
And darkness overtakes me
No spirit to wake me
Because I live the life of sin
Natural disasters are coming faster
Letting us know who is the master
Prophecies of what would be are upon us
Tell me do you think we're some goners
Or will we have a chance
to redeem, repent and come clean
before he returns on the scene?
Or will we see more tsunamis and killer Katrinas,
AIDS and wars between us?
Is your sky falling?

The sky is falling
So help me
So help me understand
So help me
The sky is falling
So God help me understand

WFRL: We Won't Get Fooled Again

The Who
Won't Get Fooled Again

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship
will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

WFRL: Made In Heaven

Queen
Made in Heaven

I'm taking my ride with destiny
Willing to play my part
Living with painful memories
Loving with all my heart

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what they say
Can't you see
That's what everybody says to me
Can't you see
Oh I know, I know, I know that it's true
Yes it's really meant to be
Deep in my heart

I'm having to learn to pay the price
They're turning me upside down
Waiting for possibilities
Don't see too many around

Made in heaven, yes, made in heaven
It's for all to see
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says everybody says to me
It was really meant to be
Oh can't you see
Yeah, everybody, everybody says
Yes it was meant to be

When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever,
Wish it could last forever, forever

Made in heaven

I'm playing my role in history
Looking to find my goal
Taking in all this misery
But giving it all my soul

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says
Wait and see, it was really meant to be
So plain to see
Yeah, everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so
Yes it was plain to see, yes it was meant to be
Written in the stars...
