News of the Weekend
Yesterday, July the Fourth, there was this march in favour of Freedom and the Constitution, proportedly lost over the past few years. I gather the general demenor of the march from chalked words I’ve seen on sidewalks in a few spots today, most notably 9/11 Was An Inside Job, 911truth.org sitting alongside Democratic Experiment: 1776 – 2001.
In thinking about this, this idea was likely buttressed over the weekend when it was revealed (leaked by Bush Administration, says I, at a time nobody is paying attention) that the CIA Unit that is going after Osama Bin Laden has shut down its operations. As Bush said a couple years ago, and as Kerry inexplicably did not drill him for saying, “I don’t know where he is. I just don’t spend much time on him.” Assuming that Osama, diaylsis trapped man as he is said to be, really isn’t terribly important in the scheme of things these days, I still would think it’s probably best to keep that several million dollar operation devoted specifically to USL / OSL open, if only because the darker forces of meaning come into play when news comes out that nobody is looking for the man anymore.
Another news item that came in over this weekend, or rather today, is that Kenneth Lay is now dead. Nobody believes this. When they say that Kenneth Lay is dead what they mean is that Kenneth Lay has gone into a Witness Relocation Program, similar to that of the post WW2 Nazis, into Argentina to spend the rest of his days. The creeping thing about this scenario is that nobody believe Ken Lay is dead. I don’t.
And thus the conspiracy theorists have won. Or rather, the Conspirators have lost. Or rather, the Conspirators don’t really care if nobody believes them. Kenneth Lay. Dead. Got that? Good.
