Sid Thomas S*-ing to Power

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."

It Was Written In The Stars Part 1

IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE STARS Part 1

1.12.13....'07 (Tuesday, Wednesday of the second week in January, in the year 2007 CE (common era))

Saddam Hussein


The execution of Saddam Hussein indelibly imprinted in the collective psyche; an enormous, horrible shock to the human nervous system and the planet. Shown this a.m. on Imus in the Morning (MSNBC). This NBC affiliate, featuring Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman, Peter Jennings, Joe ("Redface") Scarborough (no Buchanan --later) devoted the entire day's programming to setting a context for Bush's speech. Everyone knew what to expect, and I, for one, thought he pulled it off superbly. For what it was. (And had to be?)

THE PSYCHOSEMIOTIC LOGIC* of the situation.

Once you decide to go down a crooked ("unsquare*") road, a "logic of truth compensation" takes control of the grammar of collective discourse, as the original degree of unsquareness* is predicated on further, burning bridges, acting boldly; with finality.
Soon, you will box yourself in; paint yourself in a corner; look back over you shoulder and say "where'd they go?"

This is George W. Bush's conscious situation, after setting fire to Iraq. What was said was not square with what was done, and the motive for doing it, from the outset. Gone, now, are Wolfowitz, Perle, Tenet, DeLay, Rumsfeld, many more. Remaining are: John Burns (for the hard-core right-wing faction in the New York Times), Bill ("wild Man") Kristol, the Weekly Standard et all; neocons (code for "Jews" for anti-Semites -- because there are so many in key positions, especially the US media of mass communication), merging with Zionists -- some Christian, some Judaic -- who equate America's interests with Israel's. Just below the radar of this filtered mainstream collective communication this deeper psychological link -- at once theological and (mostly) unconscious (preferring to so remain) -- is linked, itself, to the stars.

The point of no return always reached is narrowing of options to two: RETREAT, pull back, cut losses, in effect, admit defeat; or ADVANCE!

Talk time passed; Decider time arrives. And the program is:

1. -more troops
2 -door-to-door, street by street securing of Sadr City
3. -billion$ more investment capital required to prime the economic-social pump
4. -militarizing relations with Iran for aiding Iraq factions (Shiites); threatening to beseige Baghdad, and get the oil.

This follows the logic present from the beginning, unsquare that it was (for reasons yet to be explained). RETREAT means DEFEAT, and one Republican campaign smear used DEFEATOCRATS" for the opposing party. Once all issues are framed in terms of justified war, the grammar of "we" v "they" morphs into "good-guys" v. "implacable deadly enemy". This deeper alignment then rules.

Comment on Content: On 4. Chris Matthews on MSNBC immediately picked up on this new linkage of Iran in the "war on Terror", calling it Bush "opening a second front". It radically escalates diplomat discourse to the level of war talk. Israel, recently brandishing nuclear weapons as if on the verge of bombing Iranian nuclear plants, must be considered playing a key role, though behind the scenes, plying "Hate Hexbollah", "Hate Hamas" political waters -- and "anti-Semitism" -- to the hilt.

In re 2.: this is the worse case nightmare scenario.

From the beginning, objective authortative analyses warned that this kind of war would be an absolute disaster.





COLLAPSE -UPHEAVAL: group-fantasy phase of psychohistorical group-process. (Groups here are understood to apply to communication-populations: people who are sharing the same TokenSpacxe, processing the same signs in sky, sea and air







advance -- loose, however it is put. The part that disagreed with reality from the beginning, such as assuming the people of Iraq were waiting for "liberation" and would not fight invaders of their country whoever they were. Whether there really is such a thing as Al Queda or not, independent of ex-CIA Chechen Assets left over from the 80's, spawning a few copycats, until all-out persecution, vilification, hoax-terrorism, framed accusations, dignifying "ideology of hate" attributed where justified ... such behavior served to convert "Muslim Brotherhoods", and all sympathetic to the Prophet Mohammed, into hatred of America. Bib Laden, if not actually double-crossed, was framed*, at least in one false video showing his taking credit for 9/11 (source: The Betrayal of America, G. Favorito) For instance, "ALLAH" worshipers have been more than smeared by cartoons; the hoax perpetrated in the Anthrax poisoning letters was beyond despicable, a lot. Almost as if inviting them to act-out in kind, God forbid.
