S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

Irony, Reversal, Apocalypse

BEYOND IRONY
TO REVERSAL* (*contrapositive sign-use) today
TO APOCALYPSE tomorrow, in Iran

Bush speech 10.06.05: “Am I wrong? Who says I’m wrong? – EVER? Who?”


Three cuts from the deck where one-eyed jacks* are wild
(*transl. contrapositives -- aka double-double reverse negatives – aka reaction formation to reaction formation)

1. Cutting God out of the link between Katrina and IRAQ


FIRST: Bush Compare responses to Hurricane and Terrorism (NYTimes9.22 A24) “Terrorists look at the storm’s devastation “and wish they had caused it.” Speaking “at a luncheon for the Republican Jewish Coalition,..appeared to be part of a White House strategy to restore luster of strong leadership…Said he “had been thnking a lot” about the linking of the country’s natural and human disasters. “we look at the destruction caused by Katrina, and our hearts break,” he said. Turning the subject to terrorists, he said: “They’re the kind of people who look at Katrina and wish they had caused it. We’re in a war against these people.”

Subtext: (please correct if wrong) the link HE COMES UP WITH between Katrina, bearer of great heartbreak and suffering on our homeland, and the terrorists in Iraq, bearers of massively lethal wish to see Americans suffer and die as they have is THE WISH FOR Americas destruction. The proposition that Kartina was an act of God in punishment for the Iraq war is pre-emtively excluded. What he/his mentality, is compelled to do is see BOTH, as the massive threats they are, as challenges to “US”= the ONE unified nation, America, grounded in their wishes for our suffering and non-existence. ONLY by focusing always, again and again, on this group-fantasy “they who do not want us to exist” projected as real and verified, IS HE, THE LEADER, AND THEY, WHOM HE SHIELDS, ABLE TO SPLIT-OFF, EXTERNALIZE, PROJECTIVELY REVERSE AND MOBILIZE ALL WHO TOLERATE THEM TO FIGHTING PERPETUALLY, AS THEIR SELF-HATRED. Their Death-Wish (individual’s hidden in the group-fantasy as in Hitler’s Germany) is the center or “eye” of the psychic hurricane that is blowing America apart from the inside.

Conclusion: The exact, dominant unconscious content is DEATH-WISH, projected into both “terrorists”, and Katrina, linked per se: by the unconscious wish for America’s death. This, I hold, emanates from a twistedness inside themselves, merging in psychohistory as the ideology of latter day Imperialism. The irony here: it champions itself as democracy.

Side bar to subtext: Israeli mercentary contractor hired as private security by elite businessmen in New Orleans to shoot looters there as he had Palestinians, and Lebanese, in ’82. Of which much more, later. The atrocitites gaining credit against America’s account – from the shooting of Sheik Yassin in Gaza in ’04, to the corpes hung on the bridge at Fallujah….from “John Israel” avatar presence at the piles of bodies at Abu Ghraib …from the machinations of PNAC to AEI to OSP to Guckert and Shiavo, cha cha cha in early ’05, with a good Christian vote against butt-banging in Ohio thrown in there somewhere between.

2. WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHIN’ IN
the Blackwater Backwater Bankwater WaterGate Falls… you see …

Walls of Water, Mountainous
on the banks of the ZUIDER ZEE

Quote from Bush’s speech 10.06.’05

“THE TERRORISTS IN IRAQ ARE AT WAR WITH THE IRAQI PEOPLE, THEMSELVES”.

(Comment in context: This is the text put on the outcome, now, of a very cruel war of aggression which the U.S. inflicted, with no invitation, and from which it cannot withdraw, he claims, without drastically weakening national security; but cannot continue, all voices say, without pouring more blood and money down the same rat hole. It has come to he point where it seems to all the world (to coin a cliché) that “tipping point”, the end of a process that was self-contradictory in the beginning arriving in full confrontion. But just when the 0 +0 = 0 situation seems irrefutable – the US cannot succeed, but it must not fail, a way out appears. Solution? –Apocalypse now. Attack Iran .




Philosophical side-bar. A Deconstruction

UNTWISTING THE SPINNING BARBER POLE

Bush’s statement can be analyzed according to its psychosemiotic form as a double-double reverse negative sign-use formation. (compare: “intelligent design”,

Compare below: Hillary Clinton’s speech to UNVPAC; both specifically mention Iran.

1. substitute “freedom fighter” for “terrorist”
(elicits: the founding fathers of America’s democratic idea and ideal; something unspokenly assumed “The Iraq people’, indeed, all people already understood, were eager and willing to give their lives for, tht love of freedom. The “terrorists” want to destroy THAT, our very SOUL, Bush said

JUSTIFICATION: REAGAN “one mans terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” (+blank double: he’s not really a man)

2. Substitute “America” for Iraq :

JUSTIFICATION: analysis of the mentality that substitutes its tokens (Bush, as righteous father) for the speech of others (replacing Saddam Hussein, wicked father who “poisoned his own people”). To define who “the enemy” is and what he is fighting

= 3. The “terrorists in Iraq” = the American occupiers (by change 1). ….. “are at war with the American people themselves” By c


3. HILL SEALS THE DEAL AT HUNPAC

The third case of contrapositive sign-use for the same end,

Senator Clinton Guest Speaker at HUVPAC Annual Dinner
Senator Reaffirms Strong Bonds Between U.S. and Israel
Spring Valley, NY - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was honored as a guest speaker at the Hudson Valley Political Action Committee's (HUVPAC) 23rd Annual Dinner on Sunday night, September 25th, at the Atrium Plaza in Spring Valley, NY. The Hudson Valley Political Action Committee (HUVPAC) is a bi-partisan organization and supports candidates in federal elections who are supportive of the US-Israel relationship. Senator Clinton praised HUVPAC for the work its members do to bring essential US-Israel issues to the fore.
HUVPAC Founder, Dr. Mendy Ganchrow, when introducing Senator Clinton told the crowd, “I remember during the campaign of 2000, then-candidate Clinton and I exchanged letters. I wanted to make sure she understood all of the issues that we at HUVPAC were concerned about. Today, Senator Clinton’s knowledge of Israel, her command of the issues and the facts surrounding Israel and the Middle East are impeccable. She has a 100% perfect record on Israel, and we are delighted she is with us tonight.”

During her speech, Senator Clinton reiterated her commitment to supporting Israel insisting “that a strong, lasting, profoundly supportive relationship between the United States and Israel is essential to our efforts to try to secure peace and stability.” She also noted that America’s “future is obviously intertwined with and in many ways dependent upon the future of Israel.” She described the connections between Israel and the U.S. as based on a shared vision of democracy: “the bonds between Israel and the United States are more than mere shared interests. They’re more than strategic interests. They are bonds that have been forged in account of struggle; for human rights, for democracy, for freedom. These are bonds that predate the creation of the State of Israel, that really predate the creation of the United States, because I would argue they are rooted in fundamental beliefs and values about the dignity and rights of men and women to live in freedom, free from fear and free from oppression. There is no doubt in my mind that these incredibly strong bonds and values will remain as the lodestar of our relationship with our democratic ally and friend Israel. Because Israel is not only a friend, not only a strategic partner and ally; it is a beacon. It is an example about what democracy can and should mean.” ....(see previous blog for omitted part)

Issuing a very clear warning about other areas in the Middle East, Senator Clinton also spoke about the threat of an Iran armed with nuclear weapons saying, “a nuclear-armed Iran would shake the foundations of global security to its very core.”

My deconstruction:
1. Her first paragraph contains a contrapositive (a proposition derived from reversing and contradiction the subject and predicate of an original proposition): Rather than HUVPAC being a “bipartisan” pro-Israeli, it is, more accurately, a non- or anti-partisan Pro-Israeli lobby organization, pressuring national political figures from both sides of the aisle if they want to compete for the Jewish vote. Similarly, when Clinton “praises their work in bringing U.S. Israel issues to the fore” based on “a shared vision of democracy”, this translates into promising to keep NON -democratic basis of this alleged quasi-sacred bond most sacred of all bonds from being brought to the fore. The fact is, this particular sentiment – call it what you will – that there are fundamental and incompatible differences between American and Israeli interests, both in the Mid-East and in terms of domestic policy. For instance, whether the spy/traitor Franklin deserves a death sentence v. life emprisonment.

2. Therefore, her (HC) speaking to them (HUVPAC) (facts on the token side) praising their work, is the contradiction of representing America over against their work, and is the logical contrapositive of “bipartisan lobby doing good for America”. It is, in fact, manipulation by non-American interests to defeat partisan politics as an instrument of democracy.

Further: In the broader course, the presence of ISMERCS in the 9th ward puts her on trial. In her opinion, could any authority of any agency of the US government ever give lawful orders for foreign legion or hired private contractors to fire on American citizens, whatever they were doing?

Finally: in still broader terms: This organization (HUVPAC) works in reversal of American interests, in the name of American political institutions; praise of their work, touted as democracy, all the while keeping the issue of that particular bond from open discussion and debate, is a reversal of what democracy is about. I call such monstrosities in communication as Hillary Clinton’s performance “Double Reverse negative” sign-uses. It is the logical contrapositive of the proposition “good guys getting praised”. It is bad guys getting cursed.

Conclusion: (for now) Collusion – behind the scene of so-called “bipartisan politics”, when a show of such can even be put on, as in the current Supreme Court packing process, of proponents of a non-Zodiacal Christian, anti-American interest point of view. This is the point of view of PNAC, HUVPAC, AEI, AIPAC, ADL, and some Americans who connect what they call “God” with current events in Israel. Zodiacal Christians, on the esoteric side of the Cross of Christ Crucified (see Alice Bailey), can see Katrina as the act of the God of History to punish America, with great fury and unsurpassable irony, for the way of being in the dead souls of those who unleashed “shock and awe” on Iraq in the name of “democracy.”
