8 Better Ways to Use the World Trade Center Steel

I find it deeply offensive that the steel ruins of the World Trade Center, attacked on 9-11 by Islamic Jihadists, has been used to build a warmongering battleship, the USS New York.

Here are some suggestions on how the steel could have been better utilized.

(1) Veteran or civilian hospital.

(2) Metal detectors at Army bases to prevent such tragedies as Fort Hood massacre.

(3) US-Mexican border security fences, walls & surveillance cameras.

(4) Homeless shelter.

(5) Security installations at US ports.

(6) Library of Universal Peace & Human Unity.

(7) Temple of Tolerance for All Faiths and Unfaiths.

(8) University of Pacifist Studies & Peaceful Solutions.

The Heart of Violence is Within You

Americans are hypocrites. They act all shocked and sad when they hear of serial killers, school shootings, Jihad terrorist acts, and other violence. Then they return with glee to violent video games and slasher films.

But it's vicarious violence, these games and movies.

Vicarious means: using, in your imagination, others as surrogates. You watch other people or you pretend to be someone else. You put yourself, consciously or unconsciously, in the place of the villain and/or the victim.

As vengeful sadist, you thrill in watching others suffer. As guilt-ridden masochist, you delight in getting the punishment you feel you deserve. You do it through others or via an alter ego.

You may switch from inflicter of pain to recipient of punishment, back and forth, or you may settle on being one or the other. One thing's for sure. If there was a technology that you had to hook up to, as you watched slasher films or played video games, that would make you actually feel the pain you inflict on others, or watch others inflict, you would not engage in vicarious violence.

Since violent video games and slasher films do not have mandatory "pain feedback" apparatus, forcing you to experience the violence you vicariously enjoy, you think you get away with it.

You don't. You attract violence to yourself as you vicariously engage in it. You unleash karmic forces against your safety and life.

Stealth Spammers and Kitty Tweets on Twitter

Stealth Spamming and Kitty Tweets are popular new techniques of con artists. These criminals are phishing for usernames and passwords, offering to sell you automated programs to "Add 10,000 Followers weekly", or promoting Get Rich Quick schemes.

Sometimes they trick you into revealing your password, so they can hijack your account and send out spam to others using your username and Twitter account.

On Twitter, the Stealth Spammers either tweet messages with their silly claims, or go "under the radar" and send you DMs (Direct Messages), private communications, with links. These links lead to a variety of scam sites, which typically shout at you to "Register Now. Enter Your Password. Start Earning Big Money!"

They typically skip such standard features of credible websites as About pages, FAQs, links to reputable sites, and Client Lists.

My OpenSalon post on Content NOT Being King

Contrary to popular myth, Content is NOT "King." Completely dependent on other factors, Content is actually...a Slave.

Many times, not only is Content not King, but Content poses as a Drag Queen -- something prancing around, dancing as corporations pull its strings, pretending to be something it's not.

Content cannot be King. Dethroned, or better, usurped by Connectivity, Presentation, and Interactivity, Content is low man on the totem pole.

Often, people search for pure Content, like movies, music, news and opinions. But even then, if the content is poorly organized, badly displayed, hard to navigate, or non-interactive, it will be ignored.

Many times, when someone is consuming content they enjoy or find valuable, their first impulse is to interact with it. They want to post a comment, a question, a praise or a complaint. Some may want to enrich the content, add their own view, amplify or criticize it.

Content, to be effective and valuable, is entirely reliant upon other factors. Content is extremely important, but is not the ultimate, universally dominant entity.

To call Content a "king" is to revert to old fashioned imperialistic, phallocentric, male-dominated hierarchy. Even worse, "Content is King" is a meaningless mantra that people chant, without being able to explain it.

Karzai government in Afghanistan is opium trafficker

The brother of Presidummy Karzai in the US-supported Afghan government is an illegal opium drug kingpin. And he's on the CIA payroll. Former CIA agent on CNN said, "The CIA doesn't know all that much about the people on its payroll." How dumb do they think we are?

Your son or daughter died in vain in the Afghanistan War.

In fact, all soldiers die in vain, because every war is insane and based on lies. Lies about WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) in Iraq. Lies about "democracy", "9-11 revenge" and "nation building" in Afghanistan.

The Afghan War is just another Vietnam. It's a civil war that we aggravate by being foreign invaders and occupiers. And now we know the USA, this great "Christian" nation on the "moral highground" is just a thug like any other gang.

Fox News worries about the elections in Afghanistan and the increase in violence. Patriots continue to back any warmongering of their precious country. Even if it means an increase in heroin addiction in good old America.

The upsurge in opiate abuse, via prescription pain pills and street junk, can be largely blamed on US military actions in Afghanistan. Soldiers may have had a noble intention when they walked into the recruitment office. But once they're beaten down and brainwashed, the result is not good or moral or patriotic.

Die for opium traffickers, young men and women. Wave your American flag over the graves of heroin addicts!




New York Times "Brother of Karzai Said to Be on CIA Payroll"


Huffington Post "Afghanistan: Fraud Opium and Taliban"


BBC "CIA Gives Viagra to Afghan Warlords to Lure Them"


(Remember the recent Karzai government law letting Afghan husbands starve their wives to death if they don't comply with sexual demands? Their cocks are enflamed by Viagra!)


Independent UK "Law Lets Afghan Husbands Starve Wives Who Don't Submit to Sex Demands"


Associated Press "US Troops Already Outnumber Taliban 12 - 1 in Afghanistan"



CONCLUSION:

Since US troops already outnumber Taliban 21 -1, God obviously must be fighting AGAINST the American invaders and occupiers. And now ... you know WHY.

Matthew Hoh says Afghan war is a waste of lives

Matthew Hoh, ex-Marine hero, and State Department diplomat, handed in his resignation today, shocking and shaming the Obama administration. Hoh, who believes in killing Taliban and Al Queda terrorists, says that US military presence, with assorted abuses, are making the Afghans hate us. They consider us foreign occupation forces who are meddling in their civil war, as we prop up a corrupt Taliban-like government.

When asked by CNN if our troops are dying in vain, Matthew Hoh refused to answer directly, stating that he didn't want to upset the families of men serving in their tragically misguided sense of patriotism.

The noble and honest Matthew Hoh resignation letter is exhibited below. A classic example of extreme blogocombat against misanthropic war profiteering.

If Classic Movies Were ReMade about Obama

Put aside your partisan frenzy for a moment.

Consider these tweets on Twitter Trending Topics as pure humor, with no ax to grind. Just laugh at your Leader for a change, instead of groveling in the defilements of a secular worship service.

Or quit trying to crush mercilessly a Democrat who beat your dud candidate John McCain, the Net Neutrality Killer.

Let's poke gentle fun at the Presidummy, no matter if it's George Bush the Lesser or Bill "Is Is Not Is" Clinton. A light-hearted joke fest never hurts anyone who's strong and self-confident.

The Democrats gave George Bush Junior a lot of grief, most of it well-deserved. Now it's their turn. Are they tough enough to take it? As a non-partisan, I could care less. As far as politicians go, just hate 'em all. Let Evolution sort 'em out!

Dissent -- It's the Patriotic Thing To Do.
