Welcome to my link parade. Today's extra special url: ranprieur.pitas.com.
I got sucked in by the one that's currently running on the front page, titled "Democrats Nominate Hitler".
Although the site's navigation is a little bit kooky, every article I've read there so far has been nothing short of fascinating.
Howard Dean Must Die was written before any of the democratic primaries had occured. It is flat out depressing, in an altogether too insightful sort of way.
Your Life as Pornography, is... well, exactly that.
America's military and intelligence agencies seem to have had advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks and let them happen, or at the very least they were guilty of spectacular incompetence; after the attacks, these institutions were not investigated, but made more secret and given greater powers. American airports began tedious and intrusive searches of ordinary flyers, confiscating harmless items like tweezers and nail files; but when testing of security systems continued to show that skilled people could get bombs and guns through, this testing was restricted.
Is this insane? Is it stupid? Incompetent? Irrational? Should we be shocked? Confused? No! It all makes perfect sense, and we shouldn't be any more surprised than if we were on a battlefield and the other side shot at us. The system is quite sane, quite intelligent, and knows exactly what it's doing. We are just stubbornly refusing to understand it.
And it goes from there.
Environmental regulations are not to save the earth (which is still being steadily murdered) but to use the earth to make people support and obey regulations. Of course we need to stop cutting down forests and damming rivers, but the point is how the system channels this need to feed itself, getting millions of liberals to emotionally sympathize with unforgiving exercises of state violence against loggers and farmers.
This guy's thinking is "out there" in a way that's just fascinating (yet sensible) enough to to make me keep reading more of his crazy articles.
I think now I'll read the one titled Bush Saves America. The first paragraph goes:
If you believe in freedom and democracy, the 2000 elections could not have gone better. What we have in the USA is an occupation government, like the Nazi occupation of France except more subtle. But this occupation did not begin with the Bush coup in 2000. The Bush coup was a sub-coup, a coup within a coup. The USA has been fully occupied now for more than a hundred years.
Can't wait for the rest. lol.
