Mossad Shenanigans

Here’s another interesting but possibly anti-Semitic article on the Fed’s recent covert war against the Israeli Mossad spy network in the US.
the view from inside the US Government must have looked a whole lot different, i.e. far more threatening. Yet the threat seemed to be coming, not from Bin Laden, but incredibly from the Israelis, who, not content with having gained access to our phone system and federal wiretaps, were penetrating American military and government targets. Law enforcement authorities were in the midst of a massive crackdown on the Israelis, when, suddenly, they were hit from the other direction.

Just Whip It!

So this kid is cracking some nitrous to inhale and somehow chokes and dies?!? Did he swallow the whippit? And was he laughing while it happened?

Write For Victory!

Writers help win wars, apparently. Good to know there’s another career option anyway.

First and Last Shag

Dying cancer kids don’t want cards anymore, they want one last chance at sex.

Bless CAPAlerts!

Hey, so CAPAlerts, God bless their crazy little souls, have decided that the Lord of the Rings movie was obviously designed by Satan to destroy the Christian religion. Well, I hope for their innocent sakes they never see Jackson’s earlier movies! Well, they hated Harry Potter as well, of course, because he’s a devil child!

Another IMF Victory in Argentina!

So IMF-dictated austerity plans have caused yet another less-developed country to go tits up! Argentina has always provided atextbook example of how the Washington-controlled IMF controls development in the rest of the world so that it favours Western corporations. This is what Joseph Stiglitz, ex-Chief Economist for the World Bank, had to say:
The IMF riots (and by riots I mean peaceful demonstrations dispersed by bullets, tanks and tear gas) cause new flights of capital and government bankruptcies This economic arson has its bright side - for foreigners, who can then pick off remaining assets at fire sale prices. A pattern emerges. There are lots of losers but the clear winners seem to be the western banks and US Treasury.

Global Business Culture’s Failing Pacification Policy

I liked this article a lot. It explains how Al Qeada can recruit so successfully from the ranks of the middle-class wannabees in developing nations, who’ve been sold a pup by right-wing, Western ideology.
Business culture has seized the imagination of the young all over the world. It has brought new hope to a generation whose educational aspirations have been transformed by its revelations of wealth-creation. They carry textbooks, published in the US, pages of which they learn by rote. Many are from poor families, from small towns and distant villages, who have sold precious land or gone into bottomless debt

most of these young men will not find the place they covet in the global economy. They are dupes of the latest fad to reach the third world, a reach-me-down form of study formulated in the west, and now a major export, of only marginal value to the countries whose young have taken it up with such zeal. Global business culture is calculated to pacify yet another generation of impatient young people. Bangladesh, Indonesia, India are full of unemployed graduates.

Bond In Afghanistan?!?

Could Pierce Brosnan be doing some method acting on Her Majesty’s Secret Service?

Hobbit Lovers

London Review of Books on Tolkien.
[Tolkien] declared himself a monarchist and a Catholic; and no, it wasn’t Eliot. In form, in content, in everything about it, The Lord of the Rings is the most anti-Modernist of novels. It is really very funny to think about how similar it is in so many ways to the works of the great Modernists.

Unlike Joyce, Lawrence and Pound, however, Tolkien was a writer with a block. He was over 60 by the time The Lord of the Rings was published, and the work he cared about most deeply, some of which is collected in The Silmarillion, did not appear in his lifetime.

This explains why a body of writing largely published in the second half of the 20th century turns out to be so strikingly first-half in its concerns. It’s all there, the usual slurry of the 1920s and 1930s: the fear of the masses, the retreat into archaism, the confusion about race and phylogenesis and so on.
