nErVeS, pascal/84.

trouble, trouble, trouble. In the last week, Karzai has fired his Interior and Intel ministers, both outspoken pro-NATO, and is now letting it be known he thinks NATO can’t win –he’s gonna do a deal w/ Taliban, just watch –the killer is our withdrawl soon makes it nuts for the locals to back us now, then get left dead men walking as soon as NATO goes away.

Multiple bombs explode at Iraq Central Bank bldng in Baghdad today, gunmen shoot their way into bank bldng lobby, 15 dead, and the news lady on tv chirps “They did NOT get the gold or the US dollars!”

UN Amb Susan Rice on Chris Wallace intrvw with smoothly polished “we’re doing JUST fine” spiel, re Iran bomb and all else.

Paki Tali shoot up big NATO convoy, so two days later announcement of the land route thru Russia being put into service –same day that Kyrghistan explodes, hundreds killed, it’s tribal, the worst kind, and Spetsnaz peacekeeper paratroopers enter on Kyrgh admin’d invitation.

USA/Nato air base in Kyrgh responsible for 80% of all USA personnel in/out Afghan, almost certain to be on borrowed time, leaving one road, through Russia for crying out loud.

Despite war returning on bloody little cat’s feet to Iraqi Baghdad, no change in USA withdrawal timetable –withdrawal from miltarily stabilized lodgement in strategic heart of planet earth, now with so much of the cost sunk and the operation paying off by keeping the west at the OPEC table, surely making that withdrawal the dawn of an oil war to the death, including USA having to go back, under plunging fire, as soon as Americans start getting gnawing hungry.

Sauds open air corridor for Israel vs Iran, but so publicize it that it may be cover for a security-driven KSA lurch toward Russia, the only damn place that seems to know what it’s doing anymore.

Could we see OPEC go ex-mkt allocation, pro niche deal marketing, and under Russian rocket forces umbrella dare the world to do anything about it? i think yes, oh yes, it may be in the cards already. Could oil prices alone create 30% – 40% USA unemployment? yes. Could we see 1930s breadlines again before we even get the Mocando Prospect capped? I wonder.

Therefore i recommend we all join the Communist Party and go underground inside it, and start our long march through the gramsci dale carnegie course.

Now for Domestic policy: first of all, what in the good goshman hell do these people think they’re doin….ahhhg wait a sec –having a stroke –

THAT’s what i’m drinking, pascal –200 proof moonshine fury, disgust, fear, nausea, frustration, the first tendrils of real HATE, and all frozen to the screen hypnotized as the playbook unfolds –waiting on a catalyst ? hell, we’re already at war –and watching TV!
