           YO, TOMMY FRANKS !
A LAWFUL WARNING TO ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS
     & NEWSCLOWNS

Man, it was just last week that I finally realized you were my old
pledge brother! Until seeing your cover pic on TIME mag in the bookstore, I had
figured that there must have been two guys by that name, since 'everybody knows'
that in the Army only West Pointers get the top spots and I knew you in the
academic year of 1963-64 in Austin at the University of Texas. Come to find out
after all, when I read the story. Now I'm going to turn aside to address the
Usenet readers in general and also, under the extreme pressure of Mr.Bush's
invasion threat and since the story features you dramatically, to spill a little
secret lore of our dear Delta Upsilon.
After we successfully went through Hell Week in the Spring of that year,
we new initiates gathered to attend our first regular meeting of the Fraternity.
A little ways into the ceremony, trouble popped up between a kind of artistic
liberal James Dean type and a heavy conservative who resembled a Mafioso after a
spaghetti dinner, both of them senior members. Let's call 'em "JD" and "HC"
respectively, 'cause I have long since forgotten their real names. JD began
accusing HC of stealing a keg of beer purchased for a house party and of taking
some Frat money, too. Although JD started slow, after several exchanges with HC
he managed to work himself up into a real rant. The two guys were perfectly
cast. The plot, while surprising to us rookies, quite plausibly fit their
individual images.
At last JD pulled out a revolver and pointed it at HC ! This shocked the
bunch of us. One of our handsome boys in the back row was heard moaning to
himself, "I knew I should have joined Delta Tau Delta." I was president of the
pledge class and as a roaring campus radical also somewhat friendly with JD. I
rose and quickly walked up to try to calm him down. Sitting closer to stage left
than I was Tommy Franks and we two wound up shoulder to shoulder confronting the
apparent lunatic waving the gun. At that point our elder brothers pulled the
plug on the act, revealing that they had completely set it up in a traditional
stunt to test the mettle of the new brothers. I imagine that after that we all
got drunk and had a good time, except maybe for the exposed fop. Tommy was tall,
sturdy & craggy looking like a West Texas roughneck.
Soon thereafter our ways parted as both of us left the hospitable frat
house with its delicious chicken-fried steak. I plunged into organizing the
student movement supporting Ho Chi Minh against Lyndon Johnson's war whereas
Tommy dropped out of UT, jined up and fought for LBJ in Vietnam, losing the war
but beginning a remarkable career which has taken him to the top of world
military power.

Ahoy there, Tommy! This time the the gun-waving nut-case at the front of
the room is younger than us. Will we rush him again ? Well, it looks like you
and I are different sides now, huh ? When it comes to firepower, all I've got
personally = a little .25 cal. Beretta while you OTOH command enough bang to
blow up the whole Planet, what six times over ?
However when we talk about values like truth & justice, then the roles
are completely reversed, as you must admit. That's why your boss runs away when
even Saddam Hussein challenges him to debate the issues in public, on
television. We call that tongue-tied, bomb-dropping, shamelessly cowardly
condition "too wicked for words". By "we" I mean me & the Pope & Michael Moore &
the Dixie Chicks and pret' near Six Billion other people. You've got the Jews
on your side. Topside.
Sad to say, we in the peace movement so far have also got the Jewish
agents of influence up on the stage at our demonstrations, which helps to
explain why your 23 honkers starting with Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, Sulzberger,
Lantos et al. are still able to run their bulldozers over the bodies of us who
outnumber them millions to one.
How long do you think this will go on? We can sum up the degenerate
white guy secret police billionaires and their Joo masters with the words
"BuSharon, Republocrats, Demublicans & NaZionists". Loyalty to the Global
Village Idiot alias B2 = treason to the American people and to the whole Human
Race.
Some Americans tonight are in the Middle East risking their lives in the
great cause. Please meet Kathy Kelly of Chicago, Charley Liteky of San Francisco
and Alan Pogue of Austin. They're all in Baghdad. Kathy's a 3-time Nobel Peace
Prize nominee who has led hundreds of us to break your blockade lines in order
to bring toys and handfuls of medicine to the dying children of Iraq. As a
chaplain in Vietnam, Charley won the Congressional Medal of Honor for rescuing
wounded under fire. Alan's an old friend of mine who founded the world-famous
Texas Center for Documentary Photography. Hang your head in shame, Mister!
Every normal alias "gentile" reasonable person in the world knows that
this vamp on Iraq = so much more bushwa. May I tell you what's going on?
Maybe in a roundabout way we can blame this crisis on the Usenet.
Because the freedom of discussion on these newsgroups broke the previous
monopoly of the Jew-controlled propaganda system alias the "Mainstream News
Media" or MNM. For nearly a decade now, millions of honest folk all over the
globe have been able instantly to share our ideas, free of Jewish censorship.
If I may say so, we reasoned thusly: A) At the Nuremburg Tribunal and
again in Tokyo, We the World condemned aggressive war in strong language as the
worst of all crimes known to our species. This made positive world law for the
first time binding on all. B) Three years later the invading Euro-American Jews
used the strategy of massacre to terrorize the Palestinians into fleeing the
latter's ancestral land. The name of the village of Deir Yassin stands near the
beginning of a long list of martyrs on which the name of Rachel Corrie of North
Carolina is one of the latest. C) Therefore, Israel's wrong to exist. The
falsely claimed "right" of the Jewish State = merely a bloody fraud. Besides
returning the robbed land with damages to its rightful owners, we the
law-enforcing Six Billion have the sacred duty to arrest, to try and to punish
all those who have committed murder, as we defined the crime at Nuremburg.
Maybe you can see the key social position of the normal veterans of the
American war against Korea? In general, as a matter of Nuremburg principle,
whenever the X's are killing the Y's in Y-land, then we are dealing with this
immense felony of aggression. As in Americans killing, which is strictly to say
_murdering_ Koreans in Korea to the number of about 3 million. And so on
throughout the world to a total of more than ten million in the last 57 years.
The Jewish tyrant Aerial Shaboom is desperate. After the people of Earth
drove the Israeli squad in disgrace away from the historic United Nations
conference in Durban, South Africa on "racism" alias white supremacism, Sharon
launched the 9/11/01 provocation within three days, just as Israel had
previously assassinated Princess Diana in 1997 for daring to have an Arab lover
and just as last October --Surprise!-- their spooks crashed the plane of Senator
Paul Wellstone and family as a critical part of the G.O.P. congressional
campaign.
Such the push-pull which leads Sharon to march his puppet, your master,
so flagrantly in the face of the rest of us. First, he's absolutely terrified of
letting free discussion take its normal course. Second, he & the Wolfowitz gang
are drunk on the power of your Pentagon and its high-tech weaponry. So there you
are, on the eve of destruction.
For the purpose of hypothetical illustration, rather than invading Iraq
it would be better A) If you could somehow manage to surrender the USA to the
Chinese. Despite what you may have heard about Tibet --where the CIA used the
Dalai Lama to foment armed rebellion against the central government-- on the
whole over the last few thousand years the Chinese have a creditable record of
incorporating fringe peoples into their body politic or B) If you could pull off
a military coup against the BuSharonies. As SOP, 'twould be better to catch them
all alive, however, if Bush comes to shove, then 'twould be better to shoot the
top 2000 Federal executive officials, the Supreme Court and 95% of Congress than
to slay even one more Iraqi. I am here giving you my best opinion as a matter of
international and US positive law, that law which serves justice only.
Probably we the Six Billion and in particular us Americans are going to
have to execute Plan C, namely getting ourselves together to arrest you, B2,
Billy Jeff, Sulzberger.4 and all the other war criminals who are currently
fouling our Home Planet. From this angle we can see Sharon's extremism as a
frenzied cry for help. He's saying to the rest of the race, "Stop us from
ruining it all!" That's today's challenge for the rest of us: To create the new
governing body of Earth which can accept and, if necessary compell, your
surrender. For operational reasons having to do with ballistic targetting, we
Merkins have an exceptionally important role to play in saving this blue mudball
from the deranged likes of yourself, _mon General_. To fulfill our divine duty
we need the loving prayers and active solidarity of righteous spirits in every
land.
In particular we need Kathy, Charley and Alan back home in one piece
each as our esteemed leaders, especially now that Rachel Corrie has shed her
precious life's blood on the soil of Palestine. 'Tis absolutely brilliant of
these heroines to help us retarded Merkins with our stultified imaginations to
perceive the humanity of the poor, colored, foreign victims whom your Pentagon
has already murdered by the millions. Rachel Corrie was your daughter, too,
General Dude. She was Over There in the Gaza Strip to remind stinking old farts
like you & me that all the other pretty young ones whom wee-wee have slain were
also our own children.
Archbishop Renato Raffaele Martino, head of the Vatican's Pontifical
Council for Justice And Peace, speaks very truly of the blood debt that you and
all others who, intoxicated by weaponry, massacre the innocent will have to pay.
Hideous lies haunt your skull. I challenge you to send any representative to
debate with me on these matters of life & death, either here on the Usenet or
FTF before a live audience. I am willing to put the stakes that the loser be
hanged. Obviously, you are, too, but under such a wretched six-pointy flag? I
exhort you urgently to consider how you can save your soul & your honor and
serve your nation as a worthy daughter of Mother Earth. You may wish to remember
that the once-powerful poet Rudyard Kipling, who praised mercenaries, paid for
his imperialist enthusiasm with the life of his only son and wound up writing
epitaphs for British tombstones.
I have been living right close to the ground in order to study social
theory, practice 0-yoga and play the game of surrounding alias _go_. I figured
someone needed to say these things.  Whaddya think, Tommy ?
I encourage my fellow Earthlings immortal examples to study, such as Ho
Chi Minh, Mao Zedong [note his writings], Paul Robeson, Diego Rivera, Billie
Holiday, Janis Joplin, Tim Leary, Bob Marley, Bertolt Brecht, William Butler
Yeats and Mother Teresa. How can we best act to save life and to establish the
rule of law under Heaven ? What next in the evolutionary spiral? Just in case it
turns out to be the test of disaster, then from the teachers one can find plenty
of intstruction in fortitude. Every day above ground's a good'un.

      H ear the voice of the great spirit,
      E nforce kozmic law,
      R espect genuine authority and
      O bserve the appropriate hierarchies.
(update:
Some years ago I coined the term "JAT" for "Jewish-American Tyranny".
With every passing day the utility of this neologism becomes more evident. We
the law-enforcing Six Billion have the race with us. On the other side, the UZIs
or Ultra-ZIonists & their ASP billionaire Langley accomplices have the
advantages of high tech and mercenary organization. Hence the particular
pleasure of having for ourselves some movies, those expensive high tech art
works.
Aerial Shaboom the ventriloquist uses the pitiful Bush Boy as his
handpuppet. The Jooze are driven by desperation to use their Pentagon proxy to
invade Iraq. The rush of their 9/11 scam has faded. The reader will remember
that the Israeli PM launched that all-time brilliant vanishing WTC TV commercial
immediately after the historic expulsion of the Israeli delegation from the
United Nations conference on "racism" alias white supremacism in Durban, SouthAfrica.
The vaunted US invasion is failing already, thus leading to the logical
next step on the agenda for the Terrorist of Tel Aviv, namely some still huger
provocation to provide the necessary pretext for outright military dictatorship
in the US and against the rest of Earth. The maximum event along this line would
be nuking some Merkin city so as to tag as the villain "Al Quaeda" or whatever
other mythical Muslim monster the Mossadia script-writers may decide to knock
together. The NaZionists manifestly have in mind to try to run the whole globe
in a combination of the styles of their own devastation of Palestine and the
repression of the Algerian client army against the masses of that country.
The Vatican formally warned B2 that his war was "illegal". Spook Boy's
Joosh masters spit in the Pope's face. John Paul II and his representative
Cardinal Laghi were quite right in their statement. Now that the BuSharonies
have heedlessly and brazenly attacked against the protests of the whole human
species, we face the challenge of calling them to account.
During this fierce combat our dear visitor Kathy Kelly* of Chicago has
led two ~San Franciscans, among others, to keep company with the Arabs of
Baghdad under the falling Bush-bombs. Her companions in peril are ex-Army Capt.
& Chaplain Charlie Liteky, Congressional Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam, age
72 and April Hurley, M.D. of Santa Rosa.
In the meantime, one big question for us Over Here = Popcorn ?)

   Peace be between the breeds, creeds and classes --
   While all night long war the lads with the lasses!

:
Nominated for most mysterious star in the Milky Way, V838 Monocerotis briefly became one of the brightest stars in our galaxy. Its outburst discovered in January 2002, observations have indicated that V838 Mon somehow transformed itself over a period of months from a small under-luminous star a little hotter than the Sun, to a highly-luminous, cool supergiant star -- defying the conventional understanding of erupting stars and stellar life cycles. In this spectacular image, one of a series recorded last year by the Hubble Space Telescope, the dimmed V838 Mon is surrounded by an "expanding" nebula. But the nebula is actually a series of light echoes from formerly unseen shells of dust up to light-years in diameter. Previously ejected, the intricate shells progressively reflect light as it reaches them from V838 Mon's outbursts. Astronomers anticipate that light echoes from farther out in the dust envelope will continue to be visible until about 2010. Some estimates now place V838 Mon about 20,000 light-years from planet Earth.
