Yarrrrrr! Bush Be Pirates!!...
...H/T to Rand Simberg over at www.transterrestrial.com - this one is a beaut.

I am now convinced, more than ever, that the Bush pirate crew is going to pull another 9-11 before the November elections. I think they are going to declare martial law. Then when the public hits the streets in protest, they are going to trot out these "active denial" microwave weapons for crowd control. And if anyone stands around too long they will be killed, just like is happening today in Iraq.

They will use these weapons in order to "dissuade" the American people from thinking that we can non-violently protest to save our country from fascism. They are then hoping that activists will either give up and go home, or turn violent and then the military will be given the go-ahead to take people out - just like we see them doing in Iraq today.

The clamp down is coming. Folks had better come alive now before it is too late. The Bush team has decided that they do not intend to give up power. They are going to make a play for total control of the oil in the Middle East and Central Asia and will not be slowed down by elections.

There is too much money to be made by controlling the world's oil and by having endless war. Profits of the oil corporations and weapons industry have gone through the roof since 2001. They are not about to return to business as usual - back to the days prior to 9-11.

I hope my prediction on this is wrong. But from where I sit all the strands are coming together. Who would seriously doubt that at some point Bush/Cheney, who obviously do not believe in democracy, would not play their cards out all the way?

"But from where I sit..."

Son, from where you sit, reality is on meds.

#2 On second thought, this isn't funny. He's obviously one of the professionally demented assholes. The funding for the thousands of such morons is not funny at all. Major bucks are being expended to spread the dementia.

A reckoning is coming for all of these interests, and I hope it's a harsh sumbitch.

#3 Titles are a funny thing. A girlfriend of mine has "World headquarters of ---- Company, Inc" etched on the door of her home office. That way, should she ever get a commission in Canada or Mexico, she'll be prepared. It doesn't cost anything extra to be a world headquarters, either.

I googled the organization, and got this interesting bit: In 1998 Gagnon left the FCPJ wanting to work full time on space issues and began serving as volunteer Coordinator of the GN as it has begun to make the effort to become a self sustaining membership organization.

Now that www.transterrestrial.com has dealt with the White House, would someone PLEASE have them investigate and inform Capt. Queeg who stole the strawberries. He is anxious to know.

#6 OH NO! Not the "Active denial" microwave weapons!

And here I thought active denial was a river in Egypt.

So if your prediction is wrong, can I suggest a penance ? Drink 4 ounces of Draino followed by a glass of water.

#8 Idiot - there was a recent article in The Economist (was it posted here?)

stating that the top 13 oil companies are state-owned and control 90%.

Poor Exxon is 14th.

So, how's W going to take over Norway, Venezuela and the rest?

Aye, me hearties! That be September 19, no doubt the day Jolly George and Black Dick plan their coup. Arr!

A girlfriend of mine has "World headquarters of ---- Company, Inc" etched on the door of her home office.

Used to be a place near me that was the "Intergalactic Headquarters" of something-or-other. Fairly large building, too. They moved. I hear labor is cheaper in the Magellanic Clouds.
