A man with a wooden leg

Sits down to read a book.

The book is not about men,
Or wooden legs,
Or sitting down.

Not all books are.

Some books are about women,
Fleshy legs,
Or gymnastics.

But not all books are.
This one isn't.

This book is about rocket science.
It has big friendly writing
And lots of pictures.

And there is an interactive section.

You can pretend
That you are an American,
And you can shoot
Laser-guided rockets
At unprotected
Third World civilians,
In the war on terror.

It is good to interact.

Page update: 23.11.10

The Pleiadians (benevolent extraterrestrials) are reported to have shot down a US intercontinental ballistic missile on Monday 8th November 2010, over the Pacific Ocean, off the Californian coast. The missile was aimed at Iran and was intended, by the US, to trigger a Middle Eastern war.

On Wednesday 10th November 2010, the Russia Today bureau in Washington DC ran a news item on the incident. The TV segment circulated on the web as a four-minute YouTube video entitled "Aliens shot down California missile". The video can be viewed
here.

I have compiled, below, a full transcript of the Russia Today news item. A Russia Today Presenter talks to a high-status Pleiadian contactee called Colleen Thomas, who is based in Roseville, California.

Russia Today Presenter: We told you about a possible missile, rocket, or maybe airplane, that was seen off the coast of California (USA) on Monday (8th November 2010). Today there still aren't many answers as to what it actually was. But one woman says she has some answers. You'd be surprised to find out where she's getting her information from. Colleen Thomas is a home health administrator, turned physicist, who specialises in the science of creation. And she's the mother of a race of good aliens here on Earth, called Pleiadians. She says she knows exactly what happened with that missile. And she joins me now from Roseville, California. Colleen, thank you so much for joining me. First of all, tell me what you know about what happened with that supposed missile.

Colleen Thomas: It was a .... I got in my ear, as it were, as I was sleeping, that it was a missile fired .... President Obama trying to start a war with Iran. The Pleiadians downed the missile harmlessly at sea and then, last night (Tuesday 9th November 2010), from San Diego, our government fired another ICBM at the Pleiadians this time. But the Pleiadians' ships are able to change density and do all kinds of things that these guys on this planet have never imagined, and a rocket could pass right through them and not harm them, plus they could outrun it too, if they wanted to just get out of the way. But .... it's really kind of silly to think that we can take on a race that's been around for many, many, many millions of eons longer than the reptilians.

RTP: And really briefly, Colleen, some people might not know exactly who the Pleiadians were, so why would President Obama want to fire an ICBM at the Pleiadians?

CT: Because they're here to rescue the human beings who are being enslaved on this planet and forced into a paradigm of a super-oligarchy that favours the
Bilderberg Group and the Illuminati, and is completely and utterly without any conscience towards the human beings whatsoever. They poison us deliberately in order for us to have to buy pharmaceuticals so that they can string our miserable little lives along on pharmaceuticals for the rest of our .... you know .... aging days. There's no need for us to be in the kind of physical condition that we are in. But they put chemtrails .... in collusion with BP .... British Petroleum .... they put chemicals in jet fuel and those chemicals end up getting sprayed in these minute particulates that rain down on our food, on our crops, and in our water. There's Lithium in those chemtrails, there's also fluoride, and a lot of other heavy metals that are dispersed in the air as chaff, so that the American government can talk to one another militarily, without being listened in upon by other foreign countries. They know this stuff is toxic for us, but there's money in toxifying us, and so they work in collusion with the pharmaceutical companies, with these back door deals - changing the laws and making everything favourable for these guys, but not favourable for the humans whatsoever. Humans are just commerce for these people, and they're also meat to these people. They not only kill and eat us, they sell our dead bodies on a meat market of their own kind that goes passing by here every fifty years .... and I got that straight from a CIA agent.

RTP: And, you know, I know that you say that you have contact with the Pleiadians. How often do they talk to you, and what else do they say about the current situation in the United States right now? Or in a recession? There's talk about China surpassing us in the economy. I'm curious what the Pleiadians have to say about all of those issues, too.

CT: They are working towards the peace of this planet and towards eradicating us of our Draconian/reptilian infestation. China actually fired an EMP weapon in the Pacific Ocean last night (Tuesday 9th November - Wednesday 10th November 2010). Its target was an American warship full of fighter planes, and it was on its way towards China, and up to absolutely no good whatsoever. So China disabled the ship with an
EMP weapon. We spent most of the night, last night, evacuating everybody that was on that ship off, because it was completely dead - no electronics whatsoever survived the EMP pulse.

RTP: Wow. Well it sounds like you've had your hands full these days, you've been very busy, and the Pleiadians definitely sound like they have an interesting analysis on what's going on here in the United States, and across the world. Colleen Thomas, a home health administrator, I really appreciate your time with us. Thank you so much.

More Russia Today background on the incident
here (10.11.10). And other readings of the Chinese involvement can be found here (17.11.10) and here (10.11.10).

AB comment: There are suggestions circulating on the web (for example here - 15.11.10) that the Pleiadian perspective on the China vs US EMP conflict is a PsyOps story being put out by a CIA faction to cover up the embarrassing Chinese military ascendancy over the US. Although China is certainly well-ahead of the US cabal, now, in military, financial and computer potencies, the benevolent ET Pleiadian involvement is very real and is operating above and beyond both Chinese and US knowledge or control.

The Russia Today broadcast, transcribed above, is substantially accurate. Russia is the only major national government on Earth currently working cooperatively with benevolent ETs. This is one reason why the Russian Tesla-enabled cosmospheres have been so effective in circumscribing US nuclear military hostility in recent years. Russia would not broadcast a television story about ETs and the US unless it was confident in the veracity of the story's central details.

Colleen Thomas is a genuine and reliable Pleiadian contactee and is well-known by other established Pleiadian contactees around the world. When the Russia Today TV presenter was scripted to say that Colleen Thomas is "the mother of a race of good aliens here on Earth, called Pleiadians", the presenter was articulating an esoteric truth. Colleen Thomas is a mother figure of the Pleiadians and carries the authority and sigil of the female energy in the same way as, for example, Anne Bellringer does, who is also a high-status Pleiadian contactee.

The shot-down US ICBM was aimed at Iran with the intention of starting a Middle-Eastern war. In fact, on or around Monday 8th November 2010, a total of eight US intercontinental ballistic missiles were launched at Iran by the US cabal. Each one of these was disabled by the Higher Evolution working from Pleiadian starships.

On the night of Tuesday 9th November - Wednesday 10th November 2010, after China had fired an EMP weapon at a hostile US warship in the Pacific Ocean, and had disabled it, the Pleiadians became involved again. They evacuated the US servicemen from the warship. The US Navy personnel are now safely aboard Pleiadian starships and are said to be "attending flight school".

There is a similarity here between what happened in the Pacific Ocean in November 2010 and what happened in the immediate aftermath of 911. On that occasion the Pleiadians evacuated the human occupants of the "terrorist" aircraft and the Twin Towers. Those 911 evacuees (many thousands of them) are alive and well today, and are also aboard Pleiadian starships. They are said to be "attending a crash history course on Truth".

There is, however, one point on which Colleen Thomas may be out of date with the information she gave on Russia Today television. She speaks of the inter-planetary reptilian commerce in human meat. What she says here was certainly true up to about fifteen years ago. But when the Anunnaki changed sides in the mid-1990s, after the Peace of Anchara, and left Earth for good, this meat trade ceased.

It should, however, be borne in mind that there are still many 3D reptilian-human clones on Earth doing the Western cabal's work in the domains of education, media, religion, politics, banking, law and the military. These unensouled, but superficially credible operatives are nothing more than intelligent, meat-machine, robots. And they have retained a number of reptilian habits. They have to drink human blood regularly to keep their reptilian features concealed from human view. They use human body fluids and human body parts in their Satanic Black Magic rituals. And, privately, they are cannibals. More here (16-18.11.10).

The Bank Run begins in Europe


Page update: 17.02.08


The first domino has fallen. The 2007 Bank Run has begun in Europe. In the UK on Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Monday 17th September 2007, one and a half million savers withdrew over three billion pounds (six billion dollars) from the Northern Rock bank and closed their accounts. Police had to be called to control anxious crowds all over the country. Pictures here, here and here.

More than twelve percent of the bank's 24 billion pounds in deposits was taken out over three days. Northern Rock's share price fell 31% in late trading on Friday 14th September, and another 35% on Monday the 15th. At this point Northern Rock's share price was down 77% on the year, giving it a market capitalisation of 1.2 billion pounds. The bank's website crashed as customers tried to get information and withdraw funds online.

Northern Rock is the UK's fifth largest mortgage lender. The bank is now preparing for a sell-off. One plan being discussed by City banksters is to break up the company's £100bn mortgage book and distribute it among other lenders. Justin Urquhart Stewart, of Seven Investment Management, said: "I expect that in a year's time, Northern Rock will not exist. As a brand it is shot. The question will be who will own it. It is a great shame. A perfectly good business will be strangled by circumstances."

The trouble started on Thursday 13th September 2007, when the Bank of England, as the UK lender of last resort, stepped in to offer emergency funding after Northern Rock had struggled to raise funds in the international money markets. The bank needed this money to finance its mortgage lending.

When the news got out, the bank run began. And banks other than Northern Rock were affected. In the UK, on Monday 17th September 2007, Alliance & Leicester bank shares were down 31% (50% down on the year), and Bradford & Bingley bank shares were down 15% (42% down on the year). Elsewhere, American banks, in particular, were vulnerable because of their balance sheet over-reliance on fiat paper composed of credit derivatives, collateralised debt obligations, credit default swaps and binary options. The culture of due diligence had been eroded in America during the Bush years.

Two on-the-hoof political interventions seemed to calm the bank run stampede. Both were unusual and suggested panicky, response-led economic management. First, in the UK on Monday 17th September 2007, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, announced that the UK Government would guarantee all deposits held by customers of Northern Rock. Second, in the USA on Tuesday 18th September, the Federal Reserve Board cut American interest rates by half a percentage point in what was seen as a desperate bid to avert a Northern Rock-style banking crisis engulfing the United States. This highly unexpected decision now places extra pressure on the Bank of England to reduce British borrowing rates, as economists calculate the long-term cost of the credit crunch.

With the yen carry trade about to collapse in Japan, China aggressively on the brink of selling its primary tranche of seven trillion Federal Reserve Notes, and the NESARA announcements imminent, a worldwide collapse of the international financial system is just a heartbeat away.

This impending reality is becoming manifest in policy changes around the world. On the 19th September 2007, The Bank of England announced a surprise £10 billion cash injection into the British banking system. This action signalled a complete U-turn by BoE Governor Mervyn King from his habitual hands-off stance on issues of global financial turmoil. The Bank of England will now follow this move by allowing financial institutions access to three additional loans lasting three months. It is unclear how big this funding will be. More details here.

On the 20th September 2007, it became clear that Saudi Arabia, for the first time in its history, had refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve Board. This signalled that the oil-rich Gulf kingdom was preparing to break the dollar currency peg in a move that risked setting off a stampede out of the dollar across the Middle East. This is a dangerous situation for the USA. The American dollar is already at an all-time low against the Euro and the Canadian dollar. Saudi Arabia has $800bn (£400bn) in their future generation fund, and the entire region has $3,500bn under management. Saudi Arabia and its neighbours face an inflationary threat and do not want to import an interest rate policy set for the recessionary conditions in the United States. More details here.

The flight from the American dollar is sharpening attention on gold stocks as a currency hedge. On the 18th September 2007, gold futures rose to a twenty seven year high (details here). Stories emerged that much of the gold held at the American Fort Knox Bullion Depository in Kentucky is not gold at all; it consists of facsimile lead bars painted a gold colour for presentation purposes. This is becoming noticeable as the gold paint fades. In the UK, it became apparent that not all the gold held by the Bank of England was fit for delivery. The gold held in the BoE vaults began to be accumulated in the early nineteenth century. It takes the form of gold bars, ingots and coins. Current methods of assessing quality have indicated flaws in the purity. Many of the gold bars contain cracks and fissures. The coins contain appreciable quantities of base metals. And much of the British gold lacks up-to-date assay certificates. More details here.

The homespun wisdom being articulated in England amongst the queuers outside Northern Rock was that it might be a good idea to travel with cash in hand for two or three weeks now, and to keep the vehicles full of petrol. Other necessary payments should be made on credit by plastic.

By the end of September 2007, when Northern Rock shares were 86% down on their year high, it became apparent that the bank had been forced to borrow £8 billion from the Bank of England in the previous two weeks just to stay solvent in the credit crunch. Northern Rock's shares had been the object of a short-selling feeding frenzy by speculators, and any attempt to sell the bank intact as a going concern looked doomed to failure. The view among the hedge funds at this time was that not only Northern Rock, but also Paragon, Bradford & Bingley, and Alliance & Leicester were UK banks which were likely to encounter serious liquidity problems soon, and would go under one by one as they were picked off by the speculators.

Elsewhere in Europe, news emerged from Frankfurt (Germany) that on Wednesday 26th September 2007, the European Central Bank’s emergency lending fund, which attracts a penal interest rate, was tapped for €3.9bn, the largest sum since October 2004. The surge in demand for the ECB’s marginal lending facility pointed to the continuing difficulties being faced by European banks as a result of the global credit squeeze. The ECB revealed no details about the borrower or borrowers involved.

Meanwhile, in the USA on Friday 29th September 2007, it was announced that Federal Government regulators had shut down NetBank because of an excessive level of mortgage defaults. At this point, NetBank held $2.5 billion in assets. This was the largest savings and loan failure in the USA for more than fourteen years. Customers with less than $100,000 deposited with NetBank were said to be protected by policies with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

In Europe, on Sunday 17th February 2008, the BBC reported that Northern Rock had finally gone under as an independent entity. After months of consultations, no private business consortium had come up with an offer for the bank which could satisfy the UK Government. Northern Rock was nationalised. It was a complete financial disaster for the City of London and a political disaster for the Labour Government. The upshot was that UK taxpayers were now subsidising the bank in loans and guarantees to other lenders to the tune of £55 billion. The decision was a body-blow to the bank's shareholders who, in the short term, would receive next-to-nothing for their shares.

Major Saudi attack on Israel planned

US Army signals intelligence has keyed into a major international terrorist cellphone circuit. The speakers are Arabic with Saudi speech patterns. They are located in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Italy, Germany and Spain. A major attack on Israel is planned. The Islamic group is well-funded. The increase in call volumes and the growing urgency of the coded messages suggest imminent action by the plotters.

The signals intelligence has not been passed to the White House. The senior leadership of the US military loathes the Bush administration and believes that the Zionist lobby has too much influence in Washington. The US military wants the Saudi attack on Israel to succeed. American aircraft carrier battlegroups in the region would not intervene. They might assist. The view among senior generals is that a neutralized Israel would relieve the United States military of fighting Israel's regional wars for her. With Israel out of the equation, peace would descend on the volatile region.

Quality products for Europe; trash for America and the Third World

Page update: 29.08.07

Major multinational companies which manufacture sophisticated hazard-free products for the European Union on one production line, often, on another parallel production line under the same roof, produce cheap, toxin-filled versions of the same products for less sophisticated markets in developing countries and the USA.

Examples of products produced for developing countries and the USA, but not for Europe, include hair dye containing coal tar carcinogens, children's toys containing phthalates, and furniture containing formaldehyde.

The recent political evolution of the USA has engendered a culture which allows potentially toxic and mutagenic chemicals, banned by the EU, to be included in everyday Third World and American products. This is for business and legal reasons. They're cheaper and the profit margin is wider. To remove the toxins would be expensive and would lead to the loss of American jobs, it is claimed.

Also, to remove a carcinogen from a product on safety grounds is to admit that you knowingly sold that carcinogen to customers before it was removed. In the political and legal culture of litigant America, such an admission could be ruinous for manufacturing corporations.

Meanwhile Europe tells the multinationals to clean up or they'll buy elsewhere. Simple. And the multinationals clean up a calculated portion of their production so as not to lose the market.

There's been a change. A few years ago, the USA was the single most powerful economic force in the world. But now the European Union has a bigger economy than the USA. The EU exports more goods to the rest of the world than the USA. The EU has a higher GNP than the USA. Forget China. Forget India. Europe is the main man of the moment in many consumer sectors.

The political decay in the USA since the year 2000 has been shadowed by a concomitant economic and business deterioration. The USA owns nobody except its supine electorate. The rest of the world owns America. The power dynamic has shifted. The USA is now in the position that the developing world was in, in relation to the USA, a generation ago. Political immaturity has led to macroeconomic decline. All roads, it is said, eventually lead to Rome.

Jesus recounts a dream he had about George Bush

Page update: 18.08.08

One of the energising claims of the New Spirituality is that for the first time in 98,000 years here on Earth, the spiritual leaders of the planet are returning back into everyday physical life and are making themselves known to ordinary people again. One of those spiritual leaders is the individual known to Western history as Jesus of Nazareth.

In his Palestinian incarnation (24BC – 9AD), Jesus was known locally as Joshua Ben Pandira. He was an active Essene mystic in a progressive Jewish tradition of the time. In 16AD he took another physical incarnation known to history as Apollonius of Tyana. A few centuries later, working from the spiritual planes, he gave the Prophet Muhammad the original text of The Holy Qur'an and taught the Prophet during his night journeys to the Holy Land.

On the 13th April 1952, speaking to a meditation group in Santa Fe, New Mexico (USA), Jesus said: "And soon will come the time when the light which I pour forth to individuals in response to their calls to me can be easily photographed, even by that mechanical perfection to which you have attained thus far." On another page of this weblog
we have assembled links to some of these photographs, which were originally published and authenticated by Share International Magazine.

In 1975, "A Course in Miracles"
was published by Helen Schucman and William Thetford. Jesus headed a team of writers on the spiritual planes who are said to have compiled this. The text was transmitted to Schucman and Thetford by a process of mental impression, inner dictation and inspiration. The text is written as though Jesus is the author speaking in the first person.

In recent years, according to Share International, Jesus has been appearing in physical form all over the world to ordinary individuals. Often this happens in the wake of disasters, at peace demonstrations, or at Mind, Body and Spirit festivals. The physical appearance he adopts for these appearances varies.

On the morning of Sunday 12th February 2006, Dick Larson and Jackie Cochrane were running a booth at the Whole Life Expo in Los Angeles (USA). Jesus turned up in the form of an African American man of average height and slim build. He appeared to be in his early 30s. He was dressed casually, wearing a turquoise and white vertical striped shirt, and beige trousers. He was not immediately recognised.

After some general conversation with Larson and Cochrane about the exhibits being displayed, Jesus said: "You know, I had a dream. In the dream I had the plans for the solutions to all the world’s problems in my hands. I entered a room that was filled with corporate executives. I gave a copy of the plans that I had to each person in the room. Then you know who walked into the room? George Bush. I also handed him a copy of the plans, but he tore it up and threw it away. So then I washed my hands.”

Jesus then shook Larson and Cochrane's hands, and walked away. This account of events appeared in the Letters to the Editor section of the September 2006 edition of Share International Magazine and can be found here.

Elsewhere, in the same edition of Share International magazine, in the Questions and Answers section, two related pieces of information about American politics and policy are offered. First, Benjamin Creme, the editor, describes the last presidential election in the USA as being "the most corrupt, I think, that has ever taken place in a modern state. You must make sure that you do not have another election like that. Do not stand for it. The voting machines were pre-programmed to change every fifth vote for Kerry into one for Bush. Those elections were completely false. Ohio was won by Kerry, although he lost it. Florida was won by Kerry, so was New Mexico. The result would have been completely different but for the corruption. There was a massive vote against Bush but also a strong vote for him. But Kerry won the election and was denied it, just as in the previous election Al Gore won the election and was denied it. The world would be a completely different place had either Gore or Kerry become President."

Second, Benjamin Creme was asked the following question: "In July 2006 torrential storms affected much of the East coast of the USA. In Washington DC, the storm caused the US Department of Justice and other major federal buildings to be closed and a 100-year-old elm tree on the White House lawn to fall. The tree is featured prominently on the back of the $20 bill. Were the storms due to karma?" Creme's answer was yes. He was then asked: "Was this a karmic reaction for America’s actions in Iraq, or for something else?" Creme replied: "America’s actions in Iraq."

An abridged version of the September 2006 edition of Share International Magazine can be read online here.

Interview for a new USA president

Page update: 25.04.08

Because of widespread electoral corruption
In the United States of America,
We have decided to address
The democratic deficit
And appoint the next president ourselves.

The selection process
Will be rigorous,
But fair.

Only white males
With non-Jewish names
And proven business connections
With the Bin Laden family
Will be considered.

There is a person specification
And there is a job specification.

The person specification is as follows:
The successful candidate
Will appear politely stupid,
But under the surface
Of this undemanding
Theatrical carapace
He will be deeply evil
In a down-home
American sort of way.

The successful candidate
Will be a spiritually illiterate fundamentalist,
But not just a religious fundamentalist –
He will also be
An educational fundamentalist,
An economic fundamentalist,
An environmental fundamentalist,
A cultural fundamentalist,
A political fundamentalist,
And a moral fundamentalist.

The successful candidate
Will be an American supremacist
With a sovereign disregard
For the good of the wider world.

He should also be capable
Of playing a tolerable
Round of golf
With corrupt buddies
During office hours.

The job specification is as follows:
To lead America
Into splendid isolation
And, once there,
To bomb
The rest of the planet
To pulp.

We invite applications
From persons of good standing
Within the Christian community.

The game continued

George sat down to play
A game of chess.

He played the white pieces
While his opponent, Osama,
Played the black pieces.

While George's back was turned,
Osama placed a piece
Of white chocolate
On the top of George's
Queenside rook,
And a piece
Of dark chocolate
On the top of
His own queenside rook.

The game continued.

Fifteen minutes later,
While Osama's back was turned,
George carefully
Lifted the piece
Of white chocolate
From the top of his
Queenside rook,
And gave it to one
Of his security people
To check for poison.

The game continued.

An hour later, the piece
Of white chocolate
Was returned to George
With a thirty-seven page
Biochemical analysis.

The white chocolate
Was normal white chocolate,
It had not been
Interfered with
In any way,
It contained no poison
And it was fit
For human consumption.

George ate the piece
Of white chocolate.

The game continued.

Fifteen minutes later,
While Osama's back was turned,
George carefully
Lifted the piece
Of dark chocolate
From the top of Osama's
Queenside rook,
And popped it in his mouth.

Three minutes later,
George died
In a screaming froth
Of blood and vomit.


The game continued.

The American Problem

Page update: 16.09.07


Rightly or wrongly, a view is emerging in liberal circles in Old Europe that the United States of America has become a spiritual drag-anchor on planetary development.

It is being argued that the USA is a manifest conduit of international evil. By "evil" here, is meant that which is anti-evolutionary, sectarian, fundamentalist and self-serving.

The twin towers of American materialism and militarism reach heavenwards, but without the support of sustainable roots in international soil. Not surprisingly, these towers attract unfriendly missiles from afar.

America is a new nation, a young nation, not yet culturally, diplomatically or politically mature. The United States of America is less than 250 years old, yet, by an accident of history and immense good fortune, she has become enormously wealthy and powerful.

But America does not currently have the quality of political leadership to use its favoured position responsibly and for the greater good of the planet. She does not yet have the resources of spirit, or the intelligence, at government level, to resist manipulation by covert materialistic and security interests.

America's pre-pubescent tendency towards selfishness and international bullying is becoming a retarding friction on world growth. Her isolationist stuckness has made her a target for terrorism and international contempt.

For many Europeans in leadership positions in politics, the arts, education, business and spirituality, to associate with the dominant American neo-conservative class feels like associating with mooncalves and lepers.

In the United Kingdom, the recent ex-Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who was said by elements within the European press to actively maintain a commodious second home deep within George Bush's anal sphincter, encountered considerable difficulties over his American sympathies. It is argued that his uncritical support of the Republicans' military adventure in Iraq cost the British Labour Party fifty or sixty parliamentary seats in the May 2005 General Election. For two years thereafter he was a lame-duck leader in search of an exit-strategy. And it became politically impossible for him to accept, while still in office, the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to him four years ago for his steadfast support of America after 9/11.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this situation is that America has one of the most educated and spiritually literate populations in the West. There are many spiritual teachers of world importance active in America at the moment. Yet, somehow, a nation which includes tens of millions of the most generous, benevolent and evolved human beings on Earth, has contrived to allow its public life to be taken over by a political cadre of fundamentalist militarians.

In Europe, it is a matter of some puzzlement as to just how an apparently developed democracy such as the USA can possibly tolerate, at the heart of its polity, a dim vulgarian culture of the Bush-Cheney kind.

Aspects of the liberal European perspective on The American Problem have been articulated elsewhere in this blog, for example:

Obituary

Part of him
Was paralysed
From the waist down,
And part of him
Was paralysed
From the waist up.

But that did not prevent him
From chairing an important
Senate committee.

And he led a remarkably rich
Internal life.

He could identify the reason why
The military-industrial complex
Needed hamburgers
Financed by the illicit drugs trade
In Israel,
To drop unnecessary bombs
On Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq and Afghanistan.

And he knew the difference between
Donald Christ and Jesus Duck.

He was a truly great American.

American Dream

The burger bar
Is full of fat
People,
With fat
Food-filled faces,
And fat
Food-filled figures,
Filling up
With more
Fat, food-filled food.

The burger bar is bloated
With superfluous consumption.

If this is the American Dream,
What is the American Nightmare?
