Thanks to the new WordPress support for Odeo embedding, I will now upload this song from one of my favourite artists in years gone by.

This is Weird Al’s new song from his new album Straight Outta Lynwood, which is pretty damn good.

This final song caps off the stunning album, and will undoubtedly reach cult status in the near future, as the anthem of this pirating generation. ARRRR!
The song basically spells out how I feel about file-sharing, in a way only Weird Al can.

The RIAA and MPAA are evil corporations who don’t care about the music, and artists who support this middleman deserve to be screwed over in as painful a way as possible.

That’s why you should buy this great album at Amazon!

Who am I kidding, just download it off BitTorrent or P2P…

Entertain for the purpose of entertaining!

I tried to find a shorter clip of this, but this is all I could get. The Moment of Zen is right at the end, so wait for it.

It is interviews like these that both Clinton and Olbermann had every right to get angry for. They had every right to attack that monkey calling himself a news reporter.

Taking up Condi’s precious time to talk about her personal life and dating habits is not playing hard ball… In fact, nobody cares who the fuck she’s dating, nor how you would ask her out on a date. (I really don’t see why you would, but whatever floats your boat)

When the media start asking the right questions of both sides is when we’ll stop slandering Fox journalists.

This entry will probably be shorter than the others, as I’m thinking of making succinct, yet more regular posts, if time permits.

I’d like to start off with this, the interview with this great man:

I tried uploading this, but either the file was too large, or the uploading tool here on WordPress was not working. For some reason Faux News doesn’t want these on Youtube: they showed it on national television, so why the fuck don’t they want anyone else to see it? (oh right, the in built comment feature.)

If this gets censored off Youtube, there are several places in the liberal blogosphere where you can find this interview, most notably here.

Obviously the media focused on Clinton’s mad rage as he bashed poor Wallace to a pulp with no remorse.

This supposed “free media” in America is incredibly dissapointing.

The fact of the matter is, looking at the current situation, he had every right, not only to bash Wallace to a pulp, but to flail his arms in all directions throwing fireballs at the current administration.

The Daily Show summed it up best with their clip of this interview, followed by an interview, where Condoleezza Rice was asked about who she was dating.

But the purpose of this here entry was to show you this:

Keith, you are a legend!

Someone unafraid to speak the truth, even if that truth may go over the heads of much of the population.

Good night, and good luck. The Edward R. Murrow line is deservedly yours, as you have been able to stand up for the rest of us, with a position on American television, and speak of the wrongs of this administration – the first to do so in the almost 6 years of the Bush reign.

All those who have criticised him, Jon Stewart puts it best: “who the fuck are you?”

I am tired of Faux News and obCNN constantly fucking with the minds of the American, and sometimes global people. For example, the news stations in Australia mostly get there news from these stations, and report everything they are told – this country’s media is in fact primitive.

Don’t buy into this bullshit.

We must disenthrall ourselves

P.S.

And what a fun ten days it has been. Perhaps some of the most disturbing of his presidency, but that’s highly debatable.

From 11 September to Today, the president has given three major speeches or press conferences, tried to break the Geneva Convention, and made a third war in his six year reign all the more likely. And all conveniently before the mid-term elections, for which he must try ever so desperately to regain some support, by scaremongering and bringing more fear into the minds of his brainwashed supporters.

And it seems to have worked, with his approval rating rebounding by 5 points, to 44%. Still a way to go, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately)

It all began on 11 September 2006, when Bush gave his supposedly depoliticised address to the nation*
in which he was supposed to pay respects to the men and women who died “at the hands of terrorists”. Instead he was reduced to spreading hate of the enemy, and talking about the fear that America still faces.

“Today we are safer, but we are not yet safe.”

“The war against this enemy is more than a military conflict. It is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century and the calling of our generation.”

“The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad.”

“This struggle has been called a clash of civilizations. In truth, it is a struggle for civilization.”(sic)

“The attacks were meant to bring us to our knees, and they did; but not in the way the terrorists intended.” (This one’s here just for the connotations)

Just some of the trash he managed to spout in just 15 minutes. The full transcript is linked to above.

Effectively he shrouded the people of his nation with terror. The same terror he is at war against.

He called the war in Iraq a “decisive ideological struggle” and “a struggle for civilization”(sic) – one involving a minute part of the US Army, and lacking the resources of even a medium scale war.

The President put America’s safety on the line, and then said there is absolutely nothing he could do to help… and the people listened.

Next, just four days later, Dubbya was at it again at a News Conference in the Rose Garden*

Here, he ranted on about torture of detainees that are in secret CIA prisons, and that were recently transferred to Guantanamo Bay or “interrogation of detainees tactics” and the “Detainee Treatment Act”:

“Common Article 3 says that, you know, There will be no outrages upon human dignity. It’s like _ it’s very vague. What does that mean, outrages upon human dignity ? That’s a statement that is wide open to interpretation.”

He referred particularly to one line of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, saying it was “too vague” and “wide open to interpretation”. He wants it “clarified”…
Article 3 actually encompasses a whole lot more. In a lot more detail.

“In the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the following provisions:

1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.

To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:

(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;

(b) Taking of hostages;

(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;

(d) The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment (sic) pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.”

Actually, to be damn sure, let me remind you that the whole Third Convention, dedicated to the treatment of prisoners of war, has 143 articles, plus some… More than one of them touching on the issue of torture.

Unfortunately the bill redefining Article 3 still has a chance of passing before the Mid-Terms in just under 2 months.

In this press conference Bush also said:

“It’s unacceptable to think that there’s any kind of comparison between the behavior (sic) of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective.”

Thank You Mr. Olbermann

Unfortunately, once again, the people listened…

Several days later Mr. Bush was interviewed by Today co-host Matt Lauer:

In this interview he spouted more bullshit about how torture is “protecting families” and preserving “our safety”. But when asked of the techniques used on terrorists in secret CIA prisons (which, by the way, he discarded as being unimportant: “so what”), he said that he was not going to talk about tactics used, because the “terrorists could adjust”.

That’s right, adjust to torture: they would coat the testicles in rubber to absorb electricity or… err… grow gills?

Or…

…maybe he has something to hide??? WOAH!

Another 5 days later, September 19, Bush faced the world to speak at the floor of The UN General Assembly*. With all subtleties forgotten, Bush spread some more TERROR. He told this assembly the same thing he did three years ago, just before declaring his second, this time facing his next randomly chosen nation: Iran.

“To the people of Iran, the United States respects you. We respect your country. We admire your rich history, your vibrant culture and your many contributions to civilization(tired of writing “(sic)” for every time Americans misspell something).”

…Just don’t feel too bad if we try to invade you and blow you up.

Although, right after this he said:

“Freedom, by its nature, cannot be imposed. It must be chosen.”

“My country desires peace.”

Then why the fuck would you go to WAR in order to IMPOSE FREEDOM on several different countries?

And more disturbingly, his final words:

“God bless.”

Once again, the people listened…

I’ll leave you tonight with this one final clip:

* All transcripts provided by CQ Transcriptions

Recently I have heard much about this concept of a World Government – the unification of humankind into one group of universal law, currency and perhaps even language.

Obviously this concept is a miserable failure.

Let us look at the UN: the current global “overseeing” body that we have.

In fairy-tale la la land, it’s led or “Secretary-Generaled” by this guy:

And:

Basically some coloured people from Developing Nations… who are rich. Great representation.

In reality though, it’s led by this guy:

Seems quite obvious now, because a black guy could never lead such a large organisation… (Blacks: please note the obvious sarcasm in the previous statement)

This rampaging monkey of a man, can do anything he feels like, because his country makes up most of the financial part of this United Nations thing.

Basically what this “overseeing body” does is ensure that human rights and civil liberties are upheld worldwide, give economic aid to countries in need or after disasters, provide “humanitarian assistance and individual development, create treaties and some form of international law, stop countries randomly invading others, assist in “arms control and disarmament”, and go on wacky “peacekeeping” mission worldwide… That is, unless your country, or its corrupt government, doesn’t want them to.

And that chimp guy up top certainly doesn’t… together with other crazed dictators worldwide.

Wow, such a powerful organisation!

So the United Nations, like the League of Nations before it, is basically obsolete…. and their website is ugly

So now let’s look at this “World Government”

It will be again be run by one of these Dubbya types, be ignored by militant groups in other countries, but it will also not do anyone any good.

Even in actual countries today, centralisation of government has made large portions of nations impotent, as policies have favoured rich cores of a country, while allowing the standard of living in the periphery to drop and drop. A prime example of this would be India, where the poorer regions have suffered because of Unitarism.

Now imagine a global government, where an international law making body has to control both the rich and the ultra-poor and think of the influence imbalance between the powers, which would lead to an ever growing split between the two classes.

The different forms of government in these countries will also cause massive problems, with rebel groups rebelling (really?) against the system and branching off on their own.

Some countries, such as North Korea or the U.S.A. were just meant to live in complete oppression, while Scandinavia can bask in their civil liberties. These things will not just change – the brainwashing occurring in totalitarian regimes cannot be easily overthrown. And forcing the rich to give away their money is like taking candy from a baby (no that easy, eh?)

So, while humanism suggests we should all join together peacefully, and it is philosophically sound that we do such a thing, the greed and intolerance of mankind will never allow this to happen.

Today is the day where we put aside all our political differences to remember all those innocent people who died in an attack on America: the brave and courageous volunteers and emergency workers who risked and lost their lives fighting to save the others, the “Muslim terrorists” (if you choose to believe that) who died for their god, the poor old government who were blown away at the shock horror of the attacks… Right?

Wrong…

Sure I’ll pay respects. I will feel some sympathy for the innocent (Democrat-voting) Americans (foreigners) who died on the planes, in the towers and in the middle of nowhere.

I will remember those who died at the hands of their own elected government, while the people re-elected it for a second term with a majority in both houses.

Conspiracy or not, screw all those scientific facts. Look at it simply.

The government had the means, the opportunity (they’re a damn government for fucks sake) and they had something to gain (so did the Jews), motive.

Watch Loose Change

Warning: video duration – 1h 22m

Were they solely involved? Does it matter?

If your government was complicit, regardless of the amplitude of complicity, in a plot to kill their own people, wouldn’t you like to know?

Wouldn’t that be enough for them to go on trial for crimes against humanity, the President to be impeached… or at least be enough to not warrant a re-election with a bigger majority?

Yes, that’s right. The Bush shenanigans led to him being re-elected for a second term, able to do anything his party feels with a majority in both houses, and no possibility of being elected again, unless they change some document, the Constitution or something…
Yes, you, The American People voted him in…

Blah, blah, blah.. you say you didn’t vote for him? You say your people are misrepresented?

Well guess what, the definition of Democracy is a “government representing the people”, but we obviously know that the USA isn’t a democracy.

More like an Autocratic Theocracy, protecting your rights as stated in The Incoherent Ramblings of Jesus H. Christ.

I’ll leave you today on a disturbing thought.

Looks like Bush’s approval rating is at an all time low…

And other public opinion polls show this:

Time for another major terrorist attack?

America, I hate you.

From your fucked up values and religious whacks like your president, to your arrogant “I love oil” nature and your love for attempting to fuck other countries up with your “superior” defence force. I hate the way you think that America is responsible for all good in this world. You’re not.

You did not invent human rights, you did not invent sliced bread, or the wheel, AND JESUS WAS NOT BORN IN TEXAS. NOR WAS HE WHITE.

AND HE DID NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR SISTER. Although I’m sure you did.

I hate you so much that I want to draw a tan^-1(1) with my fist to your face. (NO, YOU DID NOT INVENT TRIANGLES)

I hate how you complain about the price of oil, while you rape your planet with your fat ass, McDonald’s eating, gas guzzling fuck Hummers of hell.

I hate how you feel the need to liberate random countries from “oppression” and instill your proud and wonderful freedom and democracy.

I also hate your “Patriot Act” which effectively removes all forms of freedom and democracy from your country… and allows your government to go all fascist on you ass, while you sit in your homes and hate gays, blacks, Hispanics, Mexicans, the Spanish, Cubans, Latinos (that’s ignorance for you)

I hate how you destroy the English language using the letter z in random places, and leaving out u in others. Your education system is fucked up. NO ONE TEACHES CREATIONISM ANY MORE.

You piss me off by being the most religious country in the Western world, with your conservative values hindering the progress of mankind.

And fuck you and your nuclear warheads trying to fuck this planet up, while making sure to condemn any Arab that ever tries to enrich Uranium (ooh laa dee daa)

I hate your conservative, Jewish-owned media with your O’Reillys and Coulters spouting pro-Bush, Christian (figure that?) propaganda, and telling you that Bush taking away your freedom is the greatest liberty you will ever receive.

I hate the Westboro Baptist Church, allowed to exist because of your fundie values and gay hating economics.

I hate your consumerist whore views, buying things just because rich guys in suits tell you to.

And I hate your disgusting superiority complex, segregating all races except Americans (ye, that’s a race) and fucking over your neighbours to the south by not allowing them to speak Spanish, and thinking that you are far better than Canada. You’re not.

I hate your “obesity epidemic” while people in Africa starve. JUST DON’T FUCKING EAT.

And also, I hate the way you stereotype yourself so much that I can go off on rants such as these.

So FUCK YOU
