Osama, the movie.Osama the Oval Office Pelt.

I saw the Afghanistan movie Osama last night.

It's a horror story.

But then,-- What do you expect when fundamentalism gets coupled with governmental power? Surely not a state of grace?

As one of only a handful of films about dystopias this is the best to date. The director, Siddiq Barmak, frequently depicts scenes through the eyes of the bearded fanatics. So you don't actually see the religious freaks. Rather you hear their shouts and curses as they dehumanize the characters you can't help but identify with.

The movie is a must see. Netflix it--if you haven't yet.

Of course the movie merely brings to theaters what I've long known: The Taliban are vicious louts who should have been annihilated long ago.

That's right-- LONG AGO.
And that's right-- ANNIHILATED.


Remember in 11/2001 when these religious fucks were laying plans to destroy the Buddha statues in Bamiyan?

The world did nothing.

I remember writing a letter to the paper arguing that the US should evade, eliminate these fanatical germs, and save the antiquities.

Lucky for the Taliban that I wasn't president of the USA then. But unlucky for the Buddha statues too.

And lucky too for the Taliban that I wasn't president AFTER 9/11.

Oh hell yes.

Because this is how the world would be different now:

I'd have brought massive troops and tanks to Afghanistan. I'd have brought massive boots to the Hindu Kush. I'd of put bullets into as many Taliban foreheads as I could find. I'd of relentlessly hunted them. Relentlessly.

I'd have been one furious hawkish fucking dove.
I'd have left no turban unturned.
I'd of had Osama's pelt hanging in the Oval Office in weeks.

I'd have gone to Europe and Russia and South America, using that great store of post 9/11 goodwill, asking them to help protect and leapfrog Afghanistan into a industrial-democratic state.

I'd have taken the 300 billion afforded for the Iraq war and used it to buy Afghanistan new schools, universities, and industries. I'd have pumped that economy so full of life that the small pockets of hidden Taliban would never again have a chance to usurp control.

Never ever again.

Afghanistan secured. Bin Laden gone. Then and only then would I have turned my attention to the Middle East.

No... not Iraq stupid.

Rather a Palestianian state. Not down the line. Now. I'd have taken the moral suasion gleaned from 9/11 and Afghanistan and used it ram through an Israeli and Palestianian accord.

In other words: you don't have a choice motherfuckers.

We are making a Palestianian state.

And I'd have used more of that 300 billion to make it so.
To build homes and fund businesses for Palestinians.
To give them a stake in life, rather than a stake in death.

That's what I would have done...

But then, I'm not the president of the USA.

And I've never been either stupid enough or greedy enough to covet Saddam's pistol and oil over Bin Laden's pelt.

So...
Lucky for the Taliban;
Lucky for Osama bin Laden;
Unlucky for Saddam.

"It's a slam dunk." -- George Tenet

In Stand Tall
The Lew Alcindor Story
written by Phil Pepe in 1970
the following passage appears:

When he returned to the UCLA campus for his junior year, they game him the news. The Rules Committee had done its bit to stop Lew Alcindor by legislation. From now on, it would be a violation to dunk the ball... It would become known as the "Lew Alcindor Rule" and with good reason.

Alcindor took the news philosophically. "I don't like it, but it's not going to hurt my game," he said. "I'll still get my points ... they have to realize it's not going to work and they're taking away one of the most exciting plays in the game from the spectator's point of view. I don't like it because it's probably going to mess up the game for the kids in high school."

There may have been another reason for the rule, Alcindor suggested.

"I'm not making any accusations, but if you look at the players who dunk, most of them are black athletes. I don't want to indict anybody, but I bet if you check who's on that Rules Committe, you'll find out some interesting things."



That's really a remarkable passage.

You see back then, Whitey was sure that blacks were destroying the game. And so Whitey, --owning the game, the rules, the ball, and the gyms-- changed the rules.

And with those two quotes up above, Lew Alcindor forever froze Whitey's stupidity in time.

Of course Whitey would eventually come to his $enses. He always does, sooner or later.

But you may well ask--

What was Alcindor even doing going to college?
Couldn't he have gone straight to the pros?
After all he was 7'1" when he graduated from Power Memorial HS in NYC.
Surely... he was tall enough?

Well of course.

But you see... Whitey owned the pro-leagues then too.
And in collusion--the Whitey-colleges and Whitey-pros had made up some rules to stop that jump to the pros from happening. (First we have got to get some free labor out of these boys.)

Even today, when a young black basketball genuis makes the leap from high school to the pros, there is all sorts of gnashing of yellow teeth: "These boys should go to college first and get an education."

Yeah sure.

Whereas, if a young white computer genuis goes to work for Microsoft straight out of high school, we never hear something akin to: "You should go to college first and get an education."

I guess some forms are genuis are different than others...

Of course, Whitey has now fully accepted the slam dunk. It just took time.

It has even entered his vernacular.

Consider, for example, this snatch of dialog:


"Nice try," Bush said when the CIA official was finished. "I don't think this quite – it's not something that Joe Public would understand or would gain a lot of confidence from."

He then turned to Tenet, McLaughlin's boss, and said, "I've been told all this intelligence about having WMD, and this is the best we've got?"

"It's a slam-dunk case," Tenet replied, throwing his arms in the air.

Bush pressed him again. "George, how confident are you?"

"Don't worry, it's a slam dunk," Tenet repeated.



Hee-hee.

I know if you read this far...you've just thrown your arms up too.
You are probably thinking Whitey still owns everything and still thinks he can make up rules as he goes.

True.

But someday, not so far away, Whitey will learn another le$$on.

And no I don't mean that young blacks with football genuis will also be able to go straight to the NFL from high school.

Sure that will happen eventually. Whitey may be socially retarded, but he is sneaky smart too. Never forget that the college game is worth a lot of bucks. Whitey is going to milk his free labor as long as he can.

No...what I mean is that Whitey has made up a whole new rule to live and die by:

We are going to bring democracy to Iraq!"

Go Whitey go!
Hurray for Whitey!

We all know Whitey has got a penchant for improving things.

Look what he did for Native Americans.
Look and all the good he did with his African slaves.
Check out the history of the Carolina parakeet or the Passenger Pigeon.
Or how about the great things he did for the Mexicans in California?

No...Clearly Whitey has a penchant for making the world a better place.

Just you watch.
He is going to make Iraq a better place.

Just you watch.

$277.33

President Bush asked Congress on Monday to provide $81.9 billion more for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and for other U.S. efforts overseas...

So how about a little math?

Let's divide $82 billion dollars by 300 million people (an overestimation for the U.S. population):

(82 × 10⁹) ÷ (300 × 10⁶)

(82 × 10⁹) ÷ (3 × 10⁸)

820 ÷ 3

$273.33

Ain't that precious?

That's $273.33 for every man, woman, and child in America.

Well someone has got to pay for li'l george Custard's last stand in Arabia... and it might as well be you and you you.

hee hee hee...

You go Whitey...

So li'l george's approval ratings are on the uptick again...



That's great news for us U.S. supporters of the war.

Say what?

You didn't think I was a war supporter?
What gave you that idea? The complexion of my posts?

You don't believe I think homo homini lupus is the definitive summation of whiteboyism? That I don't believe that "man is a wolfowitz to man"?

Lordy Mercy let's be clear as a spit curl on this: I've come full circle on the War in Iraq.

As far as I know I am the only person in cyberspace that posted (to numerous comment boards) a thought-experiment on Iraq† that decisively proves the Iraq war is racist in origin.

So given that..

I'd like to see the U.S occupation last at least another two years.

For one reason:

It's fun watching Whitey go broke in the Middle East.

You see I truly believe the best way to stop li'l george Custard and his angry whitefucks from messing around in other countries

(62% of white males voted for Bush in 2004)
(55% of white females voted for Bush in 2004)
(58% of whites voted for Bush in 2004)

is to hope that Whitey blows another 200 billion or so in Iraq.

Because then and only then...

Li'l george and his savage tribe will be too bankrupt to do much of anything except deny each other healthcare, public education, and social security.

So I am all for Whitey doing the Iraq-thing big time.

Oh sure... Whitey's got to kick up the G.I. death benefit to $250 thousand so as to draw mo street niggas of every color to do his Iraq fighting for him...

But hey that's all for the good too.

You see no matter how you cut it, Whitey is going to have to pay and pay and pay. And it is great fun watching Whitey go big-time broke...

So let's be very clear here:

Iraq is going just great. It really is. We are winning.

You go Whitey.
You go in Iraq Whitey.
You be bad whitey.
You go.

† The Thought-experiment on Iraq goes like this:

Suppose everything is the same in Iraq. In other words Saddam is a devil, his sons are pure evil incarnate, etc. etc.

Everything is the same except for this: Iraq is composed of Christian caucasians. Do you really believe there would have been a war? Or would every possible diplomatic effort have been made to avoid bloodletting?

There really is only one answer to all this...
The Iraq War is racist in origin.

It wouldn't have happened if Iraqis were white and Christian.
The fact that they are brown and Islamic made the oil grab so much more tempting. And when other people's lands and resources are involved: Whitey boy has always succumbed to temptation. Always. That's "his"-story.
