- Let's see! We had planes crashing across America on Sept
11-01 and everyone was on break-late for work--- or it wasn't their job
to respond.
-
- No real thought to, ho-hum, investigating how millions
of tons of steel melted into a puddle in a few hours-with the crime scene
(steel) shipped off to China within days to build up their military industrial
complex.
-
- How do a few Arabs, stumble out of a cave, speaking little
to no English, make it to America, sign up for crop dusting lessons, buy
a dozen or so $1.98 box cutters; and outwit trillions of dollars of defense
weaponry, war rooms, James Bond spymasters, cameras, satellites, and thousands
of "intelligence" personnel, from numerous agencies/ departments
whose only job is to watch out for such characters?
-
- The only time we seem to get updated on the newest threats
to malls, conventions, the Old North Church, snow cone vendors, doormen,
window washers, barmaids, shampoo girls, delivery men, dog walkers etc.,
is when a new video is found under another warm heaping of camel dung-lucky
us.
-
- That, or finding a laptop in some desert hut just, oops,
inadvertently left behind with a bag of dates, a rotted camel harness,
oil contracts, and GPS tracking devices. No matter that the supposed vital
information is three years old, it is enough to mobilize our domestic TIPS
teams, Ninja mutant warriors, in full body amour--$260,000 custom made
personnel vehicles, with a "kicking sound system", concrete barriers,
streets cleared, cages with razor wire built, for citizens who still have
a semblance of critical thinking skills left, and snipers on rooftops,
alert to the possibility, that momentarily, hordes of Arabs with box
cutters, will stampede past the Boston Common, on to New York's financial
district, New Jersey transfer stations, taking their final stand in Foggy
Bottom.
-
- Here amongst the marbled statuary of past conquests,
brooding granite heroes, the refurbished phallic monument, a weeping wall,
the flutter of flags made in China, the homeless slumbering on steam grates,
the AIDS quilt on the mall etc., our Pickets charge- Normandy- moment will
reach its climatic crescendo.
-
- Of course, there's been some misinformation, miscommunication,
and agencies not sharing vital information once again! It seems that the
CIA didn't answer the phone from the FBI, and they in turn didn't tell
the guys in the field, the White House, the Security Council, nor the Pentagon;
that Arabs are not grandma's in flowered hats, union workers, bankers,
nine foot puppets, students with signs and drums, Walmart greeters, Home
Depot Associates, bankers, receptionists, nor news- casters!
-
- The Keystone Caper continues on. It seems that Mike Wallace,
age 86 was legitimately mistaken for the elusive Bin-Laden, dialysis machine
missing, when he was arrested in New York City on Tues, Aug 10-2004. With
security on high alert, citizens clutching their plastic sheeting and
duct tape, apprehensively to their chests, watched as "disrespectful
and overly assertive", frail Mr.Wallace (of 60 Minutes fame) hastily
tried to hide his left over meatloaf sandwich in his suit pocket.
-
- Not to be taken off-guard this time, with a possible
repeat of 9-11, Mike's skeletal wrists, were quickly shackled, and the
streets were once again safe, as he was hastily driven off to the Ministry
of Truth. What was Mike's crime? Mr. Wallace had just left a Manhattan
restaurant and got into a dispute with two inspectors (TIPS patrol) from
the Taxi and Limousine Commission, who it seems have been specially trained
in "crime think". Mike, all 90 lbs of him, apparently "lunged
at one of the inspectors" in the midst of being "disrespectful".
There were no excuses for this senior citizen having forgotten that, "to
do anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even to go for a walk
by yourself, was always slightly dangerous. There was a word for it in
Newspeak: Ownlife". Orwell-1984
-
- Citizens much better programmed in "blackwhite"
(the ability to accept whatever 'truth' the party puts out), tucked their
ever-ready civil defense materials (plastic sheeting-duct tape) under their
arms and shuffled off into the nearby shadows and alleyways with "crimestop"
(stopping short of any dangerous thought) protecting them from any emotional
concern of what might happen to Mr.Wallace.
-
- There was no-one to hear Mike's feeble mutterings as
he was "manhandled" and disappeared" Under the spreading
chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me. There lie they, and here lie
we under the spreading chestnut tree" Orwell-1984
-
- "It was curious to think that the sky was the same
for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under
the sky were also very much the same---everywhere, all over the world,
hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant
of one another's existence, held apart by WALLS of hatred and lies, and
yet almost exactly the same----people who had never learned to THINK but
were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that
would one day overturn the world". Book Two, Chapt: 10-1984
