DeSade and Mantis

As Lyndon LaRouche declares all out war on the British Empire, one wonders what must be going through Barack Obama's mind... There he sits in the White House, contending with one of the biggest economic crises in U.S. history, meanwhile having inherited two intractable wars. While he is working on easing the U.S. out of the war in Iraq, at the same time he is escalating military operations in Afghanistan. Proverbially, the rationale is that Iraq was Bush's optional diversion from the necessary war which was Afghanistan, now falling to pieces due to the neglect. So, we must refocus...

Very well, let us refocus upon this scene: Afghanistan happens to be old Great Game stomping grounds for the British Empire. Allegedly, one of the central reasons for this is the fact that Afghanistan is the world's number one opium producer. Add to this LaRouche's contention that Her Majesty is the world's number one drug pusher; it would follow that the U.S. military is effectively acting as the world's number one thug.

Now, there has been a minor controversy of late, especially in the UK press, as to why Obama treated Gordon Brown so badly during his recent visit to Washington. In exchange for Brown's gift of a pen holder carved from the wood of the anti-slavery vessel HMS Gannet, Obama pawned off a box set of DVDs (with the wrong regional code!), apparently giving little thought to its contents, being simply the top 25 of the American Film Institute's top 100 films of all time.

We have previously noted the personal reasons why Obama might harbor a dislike for Great Britain, but his motivations might go deeper... When Britain effectively relinquished the greater part of her empire (including Kenya) in the 1940s and '50s, the calculation was perhaps that she would not be entirely letting go, provided she could maintain a "special relationship" with her long former colony able and willing to take on the muscular functions of empire. Britain could then enjoy a comfortable, imperial retirement.

But perhaps President Obama and the U.S. are beginning to find the role a bit tiresome.

With this in mind, we think the Poe-esque horror B-flick Dungeon of Harrow (1962) would have made a nice inclusion in Brown's box set, being about a mad British count DeSade and his African slave & thug Mantis, who, being exiled on a leper island, torture the shipwrecked unfortunates who happen along. With some stretching of the imagination, the film could be viewed as an allegory of the "special relationship." Such an interpretation would not bode well for the U.S. or U.K., but we shall spare the reader the spoilers...

Stop Carving Her Breasts (for now)

The verdant mountain abounds like a voluptuous woman. Her terrain flows with the graceful, seeming suppleness of an enchanting Belle. But, the lithesome semblance is only that. Truly, her elegance rests upon the firmness of granite bedrock, concealing rich seams of coal. And, there lies the object, motivating one of the most egregious species of crime ever committed by Man upon Earth. The butchers disingenuously plead as if they could "reclaim" her delicate flesh. But, in truth, wielding dynamite and earth movers as their weapons, these knaves have scraped off her tender topsoil, dumped into maiden stream beds below, leaving her moist flowers forever entombed by the blasted rock, thus making a grisly chastity belt from what had been through the aeons the foundation of her sublime beauty. Is this some kind of lovemaking? No. Mountaintop removal is like unto the sexual mutilation of a lovely lady... nay, of a whole host of such lovelies.

This crime has been committed multiply with the consent of the States of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, along with the Federal Government of The United States of America. Until now... perhaps.

Today, we are happy to report that the EPA of the Obama Administration is putting a hold on mountaintop removal permits, pending further review...

Geoengineering: on the table

The current issue of Foreign Affairs features an article sure to stir the pot in the chemtrail research community, particularly as it comes from a Council of Foreign Relations publication...

The Geoengineering Option: A Last Resort Against Global Warming

A breif synopsis is in order. The authors' premise is that geoengineering, defined as climate control on a global scale (as opposed to local "rain-making" attempts), has not been tried yet. However, as global warming becomes more inimicable to economies, coastlines and even entire nations (such as the Maldives), rouge atempts to alter the climate -whether by individual nations or by non-state actors such as multinational corporations - will become more likely. Before this happens, we would be wise to scientifically study the option, in an internationally regulated manner, so that any potentially disastrous effects will be recognized early on. In short, the authors suggest that by researching this now, before any full-scale implementation, we may decide in an internationally enforceable way not to try the option, if its dangers are found to be too great.

Of course, there are many who say it is already operational, for example...

Chuck Norris for President (of Texas)

As anticipated, the militia movement is growing, and with it, a secessionist movement. None other than Chuck Norris has been speaking vocally about it lately, in a non-discouraging way, and has gone so far as to express his desire to be president... of Texas.

Obama's self-comparisons to Abraham Lincoln may turn out to be not too unfounded.

New Zealand plugs Pentagon privies

New Zealand plugs into secret Pentagon intranet

A leaked American study into military actions in Afghanistan reveals New Zealand is now plugged into the world's most secret intranet, allowing access to the Pentagon's battle plans.

"Secret Internet Protocol Router Network", or SIPRNET, is a sophisticated alternative to the internet, allowing New Zealand frigate control rooms and armoured vehicles access to material seen on generals' desks in Washington.

Defence Minister Wayne Mapp refused to comment on the link. "We don't discuss security matters," he said through a spokesman.

A spokeswoman for the United States embassy in Wellington said it would not comment on security or intelligence matters. "What I can say is that the US considers New Zealand a partner, a team-mate and an extremely close friend.

"Bilateral communication is an obvious part of such a friendship but the specific mechanisms we use for government-to-government communication are not something we discuss publicly."

New Zealand's place in the network has been revealed by whistleblower Wikileaks, which published a Rand Corporation study into intelligence operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Wikileaks says the study into counter-insurgency is a notable news and policy source for the wealth of revealing interview quotes it contains.

Rand says that, in Iraq and Afghanistan, coalition forces often did not have access to US intelligence and at times this put British soldiers at "mortal risk".

As a result the US National Security Agency and Defence Department opened SIPRNET "to a small pool of trusted allies", including Australia, Canada, Britain and New Zealand...



Update, October 2010

In non-redacted pages from Anthony Shaffer's Operation Dark Heart, as posted by Steven Aftergood...

Secrecy News: Operation Dark Heart - The Aftermath

We find some items which may be pertinent to the above on pages 55 & 56...

"New Zealand Defence Force troops were providing intelligence, as well as combat support, as part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops in the country."

"For Dave to offer to distribute raw data outside the NSA system, even though it would remain within the top secret security network, was also a radical move. Normally, the Fort got the raw, unanalyzed intercepts first and then they gave people like Dave what they thought he needed in the form of finished or near finished reports, but Dave had cut a deal with them. He was getting everything so that his hybrid team of New Zealand and U.S. SIGINT specialists could parse it and review it to establish their own intel. In promising me access to their intercepts, Dave was stepping way, way, way out on a limb."
