Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

As you can see, the update isn't there yet… For some reason it's just not able to keep an FTP connection open. I'll try it a couple more times over the satellite, and if it keeps failing I guess I'll temporarily switch to dialup and see if that makes a difference.

Well, in a couple days we expect Bush to make his “prepare for war” speech, with all it's glorious implications: massive (Iraqi) civilian casualties are expected, and plans are being drawn up for mass graves to bury US troops. Along with the war on Iraq, the US has again threatened North Korea with a nuclear strike, and continues to affirm its new commitment to torture as an interrogation tool.

All of the US embassies around the world are letting all Americans in foreign countries know that they should be able to evacuate at a moment's notice. What kind of horrific action would the US have to commit to require a total pull-back of US citizens from all foreign soil, besides a true world war? I'm not talking about war in the middle east. I'm talking about world war.

Remember, war is “good” for the economy…
That's why the Dow crashed this week and is at a three month low.

Oh, and finally, before you get any bright ideas about voting Democrat in the next presidential election, check out the “opposition”. Lieberman's the same level of religious end times psycho, and electing him won't change anything. Let me be real clear on a few points:

• These people are not elected in any true democratic fashion.
• These people come from a different “class” than the American public.
• These people do not “work for” America, nor are they Americans. They are invading “citizens” of multi-national corporations.
• America — that is, the people of America — are at war with international corporations that have already won the following battles:
  • Almost total control over US media including telecommunications networks
  • Almost total control over food supply lines
  • Almost total control over the US military on both a supply and direct level
  • Almost total control over all levels of federal government and many levels of state goverment
  • Significant control over the education system
  • Total control over the medical system
  • …and so on…
• These people are actively stealing the resources and property of Americans for their own personal and national/corporate gain.
• These people are contributing to the suffering and death of many American citizens, let alone international citizens.
• …and so on…

Americans are well armed as a nation, and the reason why is no secret: because the founding fathers recognized that this day could come. Let me break it down to a simpler question:

You have a gun in your home. While you are sleeping, your neighbor breaks in and steals your valuables. The next night, they break in to your place of employment, and damage your desk, getting you demoted so you can't even pay to have your valuables that they stole replaced. Then the next night they break in and rape your dog, and force you to pay to watch. They let you know that if you object, they'll kill you on the spot. At what point do you have not only the legal right, but the moral obligation to execute them as an act of national self defense?
