Hillary Clinton: Exclusive Nude Photos!!!!

Posted by Mickey Z on 10/04 at 04:46 AM

  1. Hi from one little “Dot” to the rest of the “Dots” here. “The Third Man” is one of my favorite movies.

    DPI #40 from last night...I remember the bombing of the barracks in Lebanon. A student from the NJ high school where I was working at the time was one of those who were killed. The big question about that incident is, “Why were usa troops there in the first place”.

    About Hillary...she will be in this area (Albany/Saratoga) today. She is working the campaign/propaganda trail these days. It is reported that she will be greeted with some protests.

    Has everyone noticed how the stock market is enjoying the war. We can’t say that the war is a failure as long as so many are profiting from it. Things are progressing just as planned by the government. The Dow proves it. The war and occupation might be a war crime, a crime against humanity, a horrific example of inhumanity...it is a lot of things, but on Wall Street it is a big success. In the war of Wall Street against the World, Wall Street is winning.

  2. This is from “Supporting the Troops” by Laurence M. Vance.
    “...It is ludicrous to say you oppose the war but support the troops. It is the troops that invaded a foreign country. It is the troops that are occupying a foreign country. It is the troops that are dropping the bombs. It is the troops that are throwing the grenades. It is the troops that are launching the missiles. It is the troops that are firing the mortars. It is the troops that are shooting the bullets. It is the troops that are destroying homes and infrastructure. It is the troops that are injuring, maiming, and killing people, including thousands of civilians....”

  3. Just want to add, that in my view, it is the citizens who are financing the killing, it is the citizens who are manufacturing weapons, it is the citizens who vote for the Congress and the Commander-in-chief, it is the citizens who continue to resist war crimes trials, it is the citizens who continue to tolerate the policy on torture................

  4. I don´t feel a war is primarily for economic reasons, the financial end of it seems more like a perk besides the ritual aspect of mass bloodshed priesthoods have been partaking in on planet for millennia - though here are some pieces about it I like from Pynchon´s Gravity´s Rainbow:

    ‘Don’t forget the real business of the war is buying and selling. The murdering and the violence are self-policing, and can be entrusted to non-professionals. . . . The true war is a celebration of markets . . .’

    ‘Taking and not giving back, demanding that “productivity” and “earnings” keep on increasing with time, the System removing from the rest of the World those vast quantities of energy to keep its own tiny desperate fraction showing a profit: and not only most of humanity—most of the World, animal, vegetable and mineral, is laid waste in the process. The System may or may not understand that it’s only buying time.’

    ‘It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted . . . secretly, it was being dictated instead by the needs of technology . . . by a conspiracy between human beings and techniques, by something that needed the energy-burst of war, crying, “Money be damned, the very life of [insert name of Nation] is at stake,” but meaning, most likely, dawn is nearly here, I need my night’s blood, my funding, funding, ahh more, more.’ ‘

  5. I think we should depopulate Kissinger.

  6. Not surprising Dick Cheney admitted that Hen Kiss is around the White House dispensing his own brand of “wisdom” these days.

    As for the war profiteering mentioned above, I think old Smedley(sp?)Butler said it best:
    “War is a Racket”

    And Hillary Clinton naked!

  8. Hello Expendables...from a summer-like NYC. Not to discount any of the other comments above, but I must urge you all to check out Michael’s video (linked above). It’s stunning, infuriating, and just might make you cry.

    Well done, my friend. I will enbed your video here later this week.

  13. Mickey your article brought to mind Tyler Durden as insurance professional.  The portion wherein he explains his job and the cold manner in which lives are ‘valued’ vs. the cost of recalls, etc.

    David Suzuki is one who’s long extolled the evils of our capitalist society working for the ‘free market’.
    I paraphrase him loosely: “as long as We are working for the Economy, we’re stuck in this mess, and the World will suffer; We need to make the Economy start working for US”

    Very true. All the fine folks in Colorado working for Raytheon are no doubt living it up with record employement rates....do they stop to consider the REAL cost of their jobs?

    HA - Youngfox...kissing a bear?  Might not be as bad if the bear’s looped on fermented apples!

  18. Correction...It is Laura Bush, not Hillary who will be campaigning up here today. Sorry, but they have morphed into the same person for me.

    Youngfox #6...Every recruit should be given a copy of “War is a Racket”...published in 1935 and everything he said then is STILL true. I guess that that is a perfect example of how the facts don’t really change people’s minds once they have been brain washed.

    Hi dw...whenever you need hugs from a soft cuddly just let us know. That’s what we’re here for. I need a lot of hugs. That’s why I show up here every day.

    Posted by RMJ from Churchill 4 Prez Hdqts  on  10/04  at  01:28 PM

  19. JOS#10, sorry, being overly sensitive is the price I pay for being who I am.  Maybe “ignored” isn’t the word.  I think I’ve explained that already, so maybe that’s half-true.  JAMES#17, what we really need… “is a little patience (sorry, no youtube video).” But I’ll take the love too!

    Hello, TM. Thanks, RMJ. 

    I’m still wondering if I’m speaking as an “Expendable Ghost” now or am I in Limbo?

    Posted by dw from ohio  on  10/04  at  01:52 PM

  20. Hey, is anyone hearing anything about tomorrow? That’s the day that everything is supposed to stop...no work, no school, no commerce. If I can fit it in my schedule, I will go to a conference on Guantanamo and torture etc.

  21. dw: there exists no status classification of the Expendables except ‘present’ or ‘absent’.

    RMJ: I hadn’t heard anything about tomorrow as a day of protest in the USA - I hope it goes off splendidly.

    Posted by Amelopsis from Canada  on  10/04  at  02:33 PM

  22. Hello Expendables...present, absent, and ignored.

    RMJ: I saw a sticker on a lightpost for tomorrow’s protest and just shook my head. What’s that definition of insanity? Something about doing the same thing over and over even when it never works.

    Posted by Mickey Z. from Astoria  on  10/04  at  02:46 PM

  23. Yup...Before the invasion of Iraq there were the largest worldwide protests in history.  And the effect was...nothing.  The RNC march was the last protest I have participated in, it was an exercise in vanity and nothing else. The same goes for voting.
    I am disgusted that of all things a sex scandal is threatening to implode the Republican Pary.  WTF?

    Posted by Brian from The belly of the beast  on  10/04  at  02:58 PM

  24. I have disagreed with MZ on the mass demo issue in the past. Though I’m less convinced than I was, I certainly disagree with Brian’s view (#23) that the effect of the mass protests was “nothing”. Anyone expecting to see immediate results is in the wrong business. Who are we to say that all of the activity, both pre- and post-invasion have led to the increasing numbers of informed troops now refusing to fight and telling their stories. You can say “too little, too late” all you want, but that’s the way it goes. The trick is not to denegrate big protests, but to find a better way to do something. Major challenge. . .who’s up for it?

    Michael, nice vid. We gotta talk. We’ve made radically different videos using the same list. . .

    Posted by Keir from The Hague (Jackowski election hdqts)  on  10/04  at  03:44 PM

  25. So true, Brian. The country and the media are strangely surprised by the news flash that politicians are hypocrites.

    Posted by Mickey Z. from Astoria  on  10/04  at  03:44 PM

  26. Sorry, Keir...simultyping. The only trouble with not seeking immediate results is that we have already run out of time.

    Capthcha, of course, sez: history

    Posted by Mickey Z. from Astoria  on  10/04  at  03:46 PM

  27. I agree that there is NOTHING that we can do that would change things. Every breath we take, every word we write, every candle that we light, every protest that we attend, every vote that we cast - its all just an exercise in futility. The game ended a long time ago. It is finished. BUT, maybe there are other reasons for living in a certain way. Not with the grandiose expectation of saving the world or changing things but just maybe there is some value in living a life of resistance to the forces that have bought us here. The alternative to resistance maybe would be worse. Unless there is immortality or reincarnation, every single moment of every day is precious and every action and every failure to take an action should be a deliberate and well thought out decision. Right?

    Posted by RMJ from Churchill 4 Prez Hdqts  on  10/04  at  03:55 PM

  28. MZ of course I agree with you on the issue of time having run out. I think it ran out long ago. Not everyone is with us on that yet. Will going to demos lead some of them to thoughtful places?

    I guess if I had to summarize my outlook at this point in one word that word would be: “Sisyphus”.

    You push the rock up the hill not because this time you think it’s going to stay there, but because pushing the rock up the hill is the permanent moral condition. Derrick Jensen has a chapter in A Language Older Than Words called “The Goal is the Process”, which I like both as a way of making art and of living and of trying to make the world a place to live in. (I didn’t say “better”, just a place to live in. . .)

    For far too many people, as you have often pointed out, a mass demo is a carnival day---or as Brian says an “excercise in vanity”, an easy thing to walk into and out of. But for others showing solidarity in simple, primitive, and yes even on some level threatening terms is the reason they show up at demo after demo. This even while the political discourse revolves around (and jesus even Amy Goodman was focusing on this yesterday) the sexual fantasies of a closet homosexual, pedophile congressman.

  29. RMJ, simultyping. I think you said the same thing as me, just eloquently-er.

    Posted by Keir from The Hague (Jackowski election hdqts)  on  10/04  at  04:02 PM

  30. I have to say this is the line of the day:

    “The only trouble with not seeking immediate results is that we have already run out of time.”

  31. And ‘hi’ from this (Australian) dot to you, Mickey and to all the other expendables.  ‘The Third Man’ is one of my favourite films.  Re Henry Kissinger - words fail!

  34. Michael your video brought tears to my eyes. That song sometimes does that to me anyway - granted, but I think you put together a fantastic video.

    Posted by Amelopsis from Canada  on  10/04  at  05:55 PM

  35. Excellent film Michael-- what a lot of work.  I used to live in Florida where I never saw a Manatee.  I would cringe when I saw postcards for sale that typically showed a photo of a cow and her offspring-- you could see the motorboat cuts on their bodies.  It was horrible!  And to think that people bought those cards without thinking!

    Good comments RMJ.  In Richard Nixon’s book “Leaders” he describes how John Connally returned from a world trip to proclaim Singapore the “best run country in the world.’ Singapore’s then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew (If only Kitty Kelley could tell his story!) was known for calling Singaporean citizens “digits.” I hear echoes of that in our country’s right-wing leadership-- where efficiency that benefits a small group is idolized-- and where people are turned into things:  true expendables.

    Another thing (in response to “there is NOTHING that we can do that would change things"):  I love recommending this beautiful essay by E.M. Forster; I was so pleased to find it posted on the internet (with a few misspellings):
    http://tinyurl.com/oqow5

    I wish I could leave my job tomorrow and protest-- I cannot because I have other responsibilities .  Maybe I will catch the tail of it-- I’ve been doing what I can elsewhere to promote it.  I have high hopes that it will make a difference.  Other protests did not seem to do much-- but people talk-- and they are proud to participate for something worthwhile--

    I can see change happening.  It is not fast enough, but it is there.  San Francisco and much of California is an anti-Bush-Cheney zone-- Look.  Even Schwartzenegger is bending--of course , not enough-- but it is a sign. 

    As I used to tell white South Africans in the time of apartheid when I often met them:  “The writing is on the wall.  You will not win.  You must change-- or lose. “ Little drops, memes maybe, in the ocean:  but they add up.

  37. Michael, eye-opening video. Tragic. Nice work bringing the crisis to people’s attention. We all know about it, but I don’t think most people realize the scale.

    Here’s a shout-out to our guy, DW!

    I agree with Keir that the effect of the protests was not “nothing”. I think at the very least, it sent a strong message that the “Vietnam Syndrome” was not licked for good, contrary to popular belief after the Gulf War (the first one, I mean. Actually, the second. The ‘91 one. Oh, you know). We’re not all sleeping. That’s an important message.

    It’s noon here. I suppose most of y’all are sleeping (literally, I mean). Which means that my post will most likely go unread. *Sigh* I guess I’ll join the “ignored” category with my pal DW…

  38. Good night, Jeremy (morning for me) ;)

  39. *Gulp*—Received a real thrill when I came across your name, Robert B. Livingston! That is/was my father’s name [and he left this world four years ago]! It’s possible that you’ve come across reference to him at some point.—Despite the general, pessimistic tone of the comments above, I hope that any and all who can quit and protest tomorrow will do so. Yeah, yeah, it may seem a waste of time; on the other hand you’d be expressing solidarity with the millions of people worldwide who look to you as a souce of hope. —Meanwhile best greetings to all [with a special wink to my fellow Livingston].

  40. To ifican:

    Missed the march, but did catch a bit of the protest after all.

    Eating hurriedly to go see Cindy Sheehan who has a book out.  Met her before recently:  what a down-to-earth person with all her fame.  What courage and fortitude also! 

    I go by Robert B. because I have no relation to nor do I want anyone to confuse me with that that sorry Bob Livingston from Louisiana-- another Republican who found himself in deep doodoo.  A disgrace to the name.

    I sign my name because I want people to like it and forget the other one.

    Best wishes.
