The World As Horror Hologram
Viewed From A Zippy's Cell
Proud and paranoid superpowers stumbling as to war, Presidents' wives 
getting pally
Popes and saintly bureaucrats fumbling in the dark
Those with the strength look up from Desolation Alley
Where the Holy Fools and HIVcarriers are banished from the park.

Artists offering stylish hell believe it's our just reward
Busyness people don't give a damn
Lost souls write to editors who just get bored
Bankers quote odds on the End being near at hand
But to the Zippy it's a morally edutaining hologram.

Today's Everyperson won't sell his soul but
To pay off his mortgage he'll rent it
Arrange a thousand peasants' deaths, then Sunday church repent it
"Father, I was only being professional."
So, expecting to clear his overdraft through the confessional,
He never tells customers the facts. "They'd just resent it."

Everyperson knows but everyperson knows
Leave the battle to our punchdrunk culture heroes
Cheer them on every night landing blows on tv shows.
But the Zippy can't leave it to karma alone - folks might have already 
spent it!
Politicians free pollution from borders, and everyperson is just obeying 
orders.

But complaining's not enough, everyperson does the same,
Nor are Junkie or Yuppy or Terrorist the name
For a Zippy planning hir next move in the Game.

For SHE observes, even at lunchtime concerts in the radiated air,
uninvited angels with unfashionably dirty wings, muttering in code of other 
things,
and clues, like dogshit, spread everywhere.
And still, while Nature's accusations stick to the souls of hir feet,
and shards of cultural change snarl in hir hair,
Market researchers keep turning up Hope in the weirdest possible places!
Cameras record constantly compassion in failures' faces!

Yes, SHe sees it could only be Faith that causes such Despair.

as u UPPies well know, i’ve been going on since the ice age about how this 
whole Bush chapter is the Last Stand of the Dinosaurs.  well, recently i’ve 
been noticing more and more ‘journalists’ beginning to get the Big 
Picture.  articles with titles like The End of the American Empire and 
today’s Imperial Overreach Is Accelerating The Global Decline Of America 
(in the Guardian) are beginning to appear everywhere as those 
short-term-sighted reporter types finally grok that, indeed, this hasn’t 
been just another turn of the spiral with Bush out and the Next Bird in his 
place (as has always been the case).

not at all, it’s the end of all that.  a whole new evolutionary ball 
game.  now u can indulge your species’ paranoia with ideas of 
islamofascists breeding themselves to dominate europe or china becoming the 
new emperor of the world (and, once again, only time will show) but the 
truth is that it’s the end of all that.  if for no other reason, the planet 
simply cannot function that way any more, and people (yes, all those 
individual persons one by one!) are seeing it in different but ever 
increasing degrees all around our planet.

The Age of the Dinosaurs is passing.  yes, it may take 20 years till 
Blair’s imprisonment for war crimes trundles through the legal strata, yes, 
Bush won’t be able to visit anywhere in his retirement besides Hong Kong 
and Kuwait, and yes, iraqis (and western soldiers) will be dropping of 
tumours for a hundred thousand years to come, and yes, there will be much 
much to clear up and eradicate, but a new Age has begun.

so cheer up everyone!  things are DEFINITELY getting better :)

SAT APRIL 1
The April Fools Parade
THIS ONE WILL BE SURPRISINGLY BIG!  AND DIFFERENT!
What with the strikes in France and now the one across the North of Britain 
(a million civil servants?) i just have this feeling that PeoplePower is 
going to have its day in the Capitalist as in the Communist Bloc.  I’m not 
saying this year, nor in a hundred years (i’ve learned that one!) but i 
sense that these kinda gatherings are increasingly what people want and 
they are and will be getting more frequent and bigger until one day 
something will spark it off.  It could be an attack on Iran or something so 
ABSURDLY DANGEROUS that millions of people will just head for their centre 
of government and just sit there until the whole present political set up 
is removed.  Yeah, laff, but can u think of any other way it’s likely to 
change?  Or do you think it can NEVER change. If so, you might want to 
check with several ex dictators.

The idea for the Fools Parade is to celebrate the wise fool and the ones 
who dare to speak out in the face of authority.  We are the merry 
pranksters and the tricksters and jesters who dare to play with the 
accepted Reality Model and turn the world up-side-down.
 >> sounds about right, yes?We plan to gather at noon on April 1st on the 
green near the London Eye Ferris Wheel.

We particularly invite the young... for it’s their future we’re determined 
to protect.  We particularly invite the elders for they have the wisdom 
that carries dignity and lots of heart.  Indeed, all the young at heart and 
weary with wisdom are welcome, plus their dogs!
.
Invite all fairy-queens and dandy imps and musicians and artists of 
playfoolness you can contact!   Wheel chairs with bells on... and 
flowers... pleeeze... in yr hats’n funny faces’n all the ingredients of 
carnival

 Accept the licence of Fools Day which was once the beginning of 
the new year... The early signs of summer call us to celebrate the return 
of Life... again and again give thanks and protect your liberty with 
laughter, dance and song
.. Bring your Offerings.... and courage and 
creative declarations of freedom to laugh away our fears

 Bring nutritious 
food to share..... as vegan/ vegetarian/ organic/ homemade as poss.  And 
bring your own cup.

FRI MARCH 31    PROTEST AGAINST CONDOLEEZZA VIZZIT
"The Most Unwelcome Visit Since Oswald Mosley”
"The most unwelcome visit to Liverpool since Oswald Mosley came here in the 
1930s", is how the mass circulation Liverpool Echo describes Condoleezza 
Rice's visit to the city on Friday 31 March, organised for her by UK 
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.  Oswald Mosley led the British fascist party, 
the BUF.  Condoleezza Rice, George Bush's Secretary of State, is directly 
implicated in the horrific levels of death and destruction inflicted on 
Iraq and Afghanistan.

Outraged by her visit, anti-war activists in Liverpool and in Blackburn - 
where the shameless Straw plans to take Rice to a mosque! - have organised 
demonstrations on 31 March and 1 April, details of which are below and on 
the Stop the War website:
http://www.stopwar.org.uk/

The campaign is already having an impact.  She was originally due to be 
entertained on Friday by the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, but the 
well-known Liverpool poet Roger McGough who was due to compere the 
performance has withdrawn.  And members of the orchestra are being asked to 
boycott it too  Alec McFadden, president of Merseyside TUC, said: "The 
orchestra are all members of the Musicians Union and we have asked them not 
to perform."
5pm - assemble on steps of Liverpool's Catholic Cathedral
7pm - march to Philharmonic Hall, Hope St.

Liars Don't Blink
They Keep Still And Concentrate Hard
Watch for this when you see Blair or Bush making a speech!
   Roger Dobson and Ed Habershon  Sunday Times, March 19, 06

Forget the fidgety liar nervously blinking, scratching his nose and 
stroking the back of his head.  Researchers have found that liars stay 
motionless, and control their blinking as they try not to give anything away.

When liars do use their hands, they use extravagant movements to cover up 
their dishonesty, stretching out their arms or rhythmically jabbing the air 
to emphasise a point.

The findings are likely to be of interest to police, employers and 
suspicious spouses, who may wrongly interpret nervousness as dishonesty but 
miss more reliable indicators.

“There’s a popular perception that things like scratching the nose, playing 
with the hair, increase with people lying,” said Dr Samantha Mann, a 
psychologist at Portsmouth University. “People expect liars to be nervous 
and shifty and to fidget more, but our research shows that is not the case
 
People who are lying have to think harder, and when we think harder we tend 
to be a lot stiller, with fewer movements, because we are concentrating 
harder.”

In the research, to be reported shortly in the Journal of Nonverbal 
Behavior, the academics from Portsmouth and universities in Italy looked 
for changes in 7 categories of hand movements in 130 volunteers told to 
make a series of honest and dishonest statements.

Metaphoric gestures - such as a heart to show love, or holding the hands 
apart to indicate size - occurred 25% more often when lying.

Emblematic gestures that give out a direct message - such as thumbs-up for 
OK, or palms outstretched for “calm down” -  are also used slightly more 
often by liars.

A typical emblematic gesture was used in April 2003 by Mohammed Saeed 
al-Sahaf, the Iraqi information minister nicknamed Comical Ali.  As Iraqi 
troops ran for cover from American shellfire, he stretched out his arms, 
palms held forward, and told reporters: “Baghdad is safe. The infidels are 
committing suicide by the hundreds on the gates of Baghdad. Don’t believe 
those liars. As our leader Saddam Hussein said, ‘God is grilling their 
stomachs in hell’.”
 >> it’s happening now, of course, but Chemical Ali didn’t mean that.

Rhythmic gestures - another liar’s trick, as in 1998 when Bill Clinton 
jabbed the air with each word: “I did not have sexual relations with that 
woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

Self-adaptor gestures - touching the nose, hair or other parts of the 
body  18% less than truth-tellers.  They also point at people about 20% less.

Mann has carried out separate research on the behaviour of suspects in 
police interviews.  She found that, when lying, participants paused more in 
their speech and blinked less frequently - 18.5 times a minute compared 
with 23.6 times when telling the truth.  About 81% of suspects paused 
longer or blinked less when telling a lie.

Debunking another myth, she said liars were just as likely as an honest 
person to look a questioner in the eye.

Does Animal Testing Affect Human Medicine?
KEEP THESE 32 FACTS HANDY FOR THE NEXT TIME
YOU ENCOUNTER A BIG PHARMA LIAR
        - AND KEEP LIARS DON’T BLINK HANDY TOO!

(1)  Less than 2% of human illnesses (1.16%) are ever seen in animals. Tony 
Page, Vivisection Unveiled, p6.
(2)  According to the former scientific executive of Huntingdon Life 
Sciences, animal tests and human results agree only '5-25% of the 
time'.  ‘Animal toxicity studies: Their relevance to man', Lumley/Warner (Eds).
(3)  95% of drugs passed by animal tests are immediately discarded as 
useless or dangerous to humans.  SmithKline Beecham Internal report.
(4)  At least 50 drugs on the market cause cancer in laboratory 
animals.  They are allowed because it is admitted the animal tests are not 
relevant.  Dr Vernon Coleman, 'Why Patients Never Win In Drugs Wars'.
(5)  Procter & Gamble used an artificial musk despite it failing the animal 
tests, i.e., causing tumours in mice.  They said the animal test results 
were 'of little relevance for humans'.  Ethical Consumer, Nov/Dec 1995, p24.
(6)  When asked if they agreed that animal experiments can be misleading 
'because of anatomical and physiological differences between animals and 
humans', 88% of doctors agreed. Tony Page, Vivisection Unveiled, p103.
(7)  Rats are only 37% effective in identifying what causes cancer to 
humans.  Flipping a coin would be more accurate.  F. J. Di Carlo, 'Drug 
Metabolism Reviews' 15, pp409-13, quoted in Tony Page, Vivisection 
Unveiled, p44.
(8)  Though they’re the animals almost always used in cancer research, 
rodents never get carcinomas, the human form of cancer, which affects 
membranes (e.g lung cancer).  Their sarcomas affect bone and connecting 
tissue: the two cannot be compared.  NAVS Campaigner, Jan/Feb 1988, p13.
(9)  Up to 90% of animal test results are discarded as they are 
inapplicable to man.  Prof Dennis Park, advice to WHO, speaking at Humane 
Research Trust Convention: quoted in 'Animals In Research' leaflet, 
Advocates for Animals.
(10)  The results from animal experiments can be altered by factors such as 
diet and bedding.  Bedding has been identified as giving cancer rates of 
over 90% and almost nil in the same strain of mice at different 
locations.  Pietro Croce Vivisection or Science - A Choice to Make, p43.
(11)  Sex differences among laboratory animals can cause contradictory 
results.  This does not correspond with humans. E. J. Calabrese, 'Toxic 
susceptability: Male/female differences', quoted in Tony Page, Vivisection 
Unveiled, p41
(12)  9% of anaesthetised animals, intended to recover, die.  Laboratory 
Animals, vol.26 no.3, p159, quoted Tony Page, Vivisection Unveiled, p33
(13)  83% of substances are metabolised by rats in a different way to 
humans.  Parke/Smith (eds), Drug Metabolism from Microbe to Man, quoted 
Tony Page, Vivisection Unveiled, p45.
(14)  Attempts to sue the manufacturers of the drug Surgam failed due to 
the testimony of medical experts that: 'data from animals could not be 
extrapolated safely to patients'.  AVA leaflet 'We can't change the past'.
(15)  Lemon juice is a deadly poison, but arsenic, hemlock and botulin are 
safe according to animal tests.  Pietro Croce, Vivisection or Science - A 
Choice to Make, pp22-24.
(16)  Genetically modified animals are not models for human illness.  The 
mdx mouse is supposed to represent muscular dystrophy, but the muscles 
regenerate without treatment.  'Access Denied' report, NAVS.
(17)  88% of stillbirths are caused by drugs which are passed as being safe 
in animal tests, according to a study in Germany.  Munchner Medizinische 
Wochenschrift, no 34, 1969, quoted in Hans Ruesch Slaughter of the 
Innocents, p365
(18)  61% of birth defects are caused by drugs passed safe in animal tests, 
according to the same study.  Defect rates are 200 times post war 
levels.  Munchner Medizinische Wochenschrift, no 34, 1969, quoted in Hans 
Ruesch Slaughter of the Innocents, p365.
(19)  One in six patients in hospital are there because of a treatment they 
have taken.  Dr Vernon Coleman, 'Animal experiments kill people as well as 
animals'.
(20)  In America, 100,000 deaths a year are attributed to medical 
treatment.  In one year 1.5 million people were hospitalised by medical 
treatment.  Hans Ruesch, quoted in BAVA leaflet, 'After prolonged tests'.
(21)  A World Health Organisation study showed children were 14 times more 
likely to develop measles if they had been vaccinated. National Health 
Federation Bulletin, 1969.
(22)  40% of patients suffer side effects as a result of prescription 
treatment.  D. Icke, 'It doesn't have to be like this'.
(23)  Over 200,000 medicines have been released, most of which are now 
withdrawn.  According to the World Health Organisation, only 240 are 
'essential'.  Hans Ruesch, Naked Empress, pp.12,91.
(24)  A German doctors' congress concluded that 6% of fatal illnesses and 
25% of organic illness are caused by medicines.  All have been animal 
tested.  Congress of Clinical Medicine, 1976. PC p14.
(25)  The lifesaving operation for ectopic pregnancies was delayed 40 years 
due to vivisection.  Hans Ruesch Slaughter of the Innocents, pp175/6.
(26)  According to the Royal Commission into vivisection (1912), 'The 
discovery of anaesthetics owes nothing to experiments on animals'.  The 
great Dr Hadwen noted that 'had animal experiments been relied 
upon...humanity would have been robbed of this great blessing of 
anaesthesia'.  Dr Hadwen 'The difficulties of Deguerre, p357. General 
Anaesthesia, Gray/Utting/Nunn, p152.
(27)  Aspirin fails animal tests, as does digitalis (a heart drug), cancer 
treatments, insulin (causes animal birth defects), penicillin and other 
safe medicines.  They would have been banned if vivisection were 
heeded.  Hans Ruesch Slaughter of the Innocents, p364. 'Cancer', NAVS 
Campaigner Jan/Feb 1988. Tony Page, Vivisection Unveiled, p9.
(28)  In the court case when the manufacturers of Thalidomide were being 
tried, they were acquitted after numerous experts agreed that animal tests 
could not be relied on for human medicine.  Hans Ruesch Slaughter of the 
Innocents, p361-362.
(29)  Blood transfusions were delayed 200 years by animal studies, corneal 
transplants were delayed 90 years.  Plan 2000, 'How much longer'.
(30)  Despite many Nobel prizes being awarded to vivisectors, only 45% 
agree that animal experiments are crucial.  VIN Newsletter 2.
(31)  At least 450 methods exist with which we can replace animal 
experiments.  Pietro Croce, Vivisection or Science - A Choice to Make, p22-24.

every 4 seconds.  Plan 2000 leaflet.

and remember that the pharmaceutical industry funds many groups and 
organisations to “LIE” for them (oh ok, make filtered positive sounds for 
money), so... when you next hear someone defending vivisection wonder who’s 
paying them to do it, and watch their eye-blinking!

The truth behind the secrets of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, and The Da Vinci Code
Cities of Dreams
When Women Ruled The Earth
  by Colin Wilson
Aulis Publishers are currently reprinting the works of Stan 
Gooch.   www.aulis.com

It has seemed to me for many years that Stan Gooch is one of the most 
underrated writers of our time.
 >> there’s a few. but, then again, 2 few to mention  yet :)

The reasons are complex, but obviously connected with the fact that he 
began life as a respectable academic, a research psychologist whose first 
work was a textbook on child psychology.

Under normal circumstances, he would have continued to write textbooks and 
become a member of the British academic establishment.  But in 1958, aged 
26, he had an experience that was to change the direction of his life.  A 
schoolteacher in Coventry at the time, he was invited to a 'séance' in the 
home of a friend.  He went out of curiosity.
 >> if he’d turned down the chance at that age he wouldn’t have been a 
bluddy psychologist at all!  i’m one and am telling u!

But as he sat in an ordinary hardback chair, facing the 'medium,' he 
experienced a sense of light-headedness, then a rushing sensation, as if 
the room was full of a great wind, and he heard a noise like roaring waters.
 >> add a psychosomatic ally and u have THE typical evolutionary experience 
of our age  still largely unrecognised in official circles, the circles 
where wars are schemed up.

He felt as if a barrier had collapsed and became unconscious.  When he came 
to, he was told that he had entered a trance state, and that several 
'entities' had spoken through his mouth, including a cousin who had died in 
the war.  At one of these séances, everyone became aware of an ape-like 
'cave man' crouched in the corner of the room, which soon faded 
away.  Gooch later came to suspect that he had seen a 'Neanderthal.'

In spite of these bizarre spare-time activities, he proceeded with his 
academic career, became a senior research psychologist at the National 
Children's Bureau in 1964, and wrote his textbook.  But he also wrote a 
novel and short stories, and a ‘chance’ meeting with a director of Penguin 
Books led to a commission for Total Man (1972).

This was a remarkable work.  On the surface it was a fascinating 
combination of literary criticism and 'depth psychology'.  Arguing from 
works like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, he suggested that man is a dual being, 
consisting of a rational ego, and a darker more instinctive being, which he 
calls the 'Self'.  So far this sounds like fairly orthodox Freudian (or 
Jungian) psychology.  But it is soon obvious that his involvement with his 
ideas is on a deeper, more personal level, than with most 
psychologists.  He regards the 'Self', which inhabits the 'old brain', as 
the source of legends about vampires, troglodytes, demons and other 
creatures from the world of the 'occult'.  Clearly, his experience of 
mediumship has made him aware of the unconscious as a mysterious realm of 
strange, dark forces.  He argues that the unconscious mind is located in 
the part of the brain called the cerebellum.

Total Man was bold and imaginative, but was clearly the work of a 
scientist; it seemed to promise that Gooch would become, like RD Laing, one 
of the gurus of the 1970s.  (Publisher's Weekly compared him with Jung.)

His next book, Personality and Evolution, subtitled The Biology of the 
Divided Self, reinforced that expectation.  It is partly an attack on 
Darwinism
 >> oh, surely not!

and the notion of evolution by survival of the fittest.  But Gooch points 
out that ice ages may occur so abruptly that there would be no time for 
natural selection.

He goes on to look at the work of Tinbergen on 'releasers' - stimuli that 
release certain instincts, like a mother's reaction to a baby, or a man's 
to a girl taking her clothes off.  Tinbergen discovered that some creatures 
prefer 'bigger than normal releasers' that, though seeming oddly illogical, 
suggest inner-freedom to develop responses to situations that have not yet 
arisen.  Gooch is suggesting that there is an element of choice
 >> oh, surely not!  isn’t there a law against such kinda thinking these days?!

that must have sounded to orthodox Darwinians dangerously like the 
Lamarckian heresy.
 >> or how about just plain stupid and, oh, outdated we’re so hip these 
days, too much dope p'raps?

But then, Arthur Koestler and many others were also attacking orthodox 
Darwinism at the time, and Gooch might have been a maverick, but he was 
part of a non-orthodox mainstream,
 >> he’s talking about us UPPies whether you agree or not at this point :)

and there was every reason to expect him to achieve his own kind of 
respectability.


What happened was that his next book, The Neanderthal Question (1977), 
while in fact a logical development of his interest in man's 'two selves,' 
appeared to make a disconcerting sideways swerve into another field.  He 
had come to believe that Neanderthal man was not exterminated by Cro-Magnon 
40,000 years ago, but that he was 'bred' out of separate existence by 
interbreeding with Cro-Magnon.  We are the result of this combination, with 
Cro-Magnon characteristics predominating.
 >> see where we’re going, oh ye hippies and ravers and free-thinking 
tolerant fun-loving beings?

Well, surprise, surprise, critics found the arguments of The Neanderthal 
Question a little too bold and, uh, unconventional.
 >> been there, had that done to me :)

In his next book The Paranormal (1978) he begins by describing in detail 
his experiences as a medium, and goes on to produce a classic study of the 
whole realm of paranormal experience.   To many critics, it must have 
seemed that Gooch had abandoned the scientific and academic approach of 
Total Man and Personality and Evolution, and plunged into what Freud called 
'the black tide of occultism'.
 >> or the technicoloured wave of mysticism and transcendence?

The title of his next book, Guardians of the Ancient Wisdom (1979) must 
have confirmed their worst fears.  In fact the book is an important 
backward-look over his past work and an attempt to advance cautiously into 
the realm of the 'lunar' being, the 'Self'.

When he sent me a proof of Cities of Dreams, he told me he was crossing his 
fingers this would finally make the impact he always hoped for.  As I read 
the book, it seemed to me that this was highly likely - that this brilliant 
demonstration that Neanderthal man possessed as rich and complex a culture 
as Cro-Magnon, who replaced him, would excite widespread interest and 
controversy.  In the event, he once more encountered the old problem: his 
work was too original and wide-ranging for the academics, and too closely 
argued and serious for the general public.  Yet that struck me as 
outrageously unfair since the book was so obviously a culmination of his 
work since Total Man.

During the 1980s, John Anthony West, an expert on ancient Egypt, had become 
convinced that the Sphinx had been eroded by water, not by wind-driven 
sand, and in 1992, a Boston geologist, Dr Robert Schoch, supported his 
opinion, arguing that the Sphinx was probably built 5,000 years earlier 
than modern scholars believed.   Subsequent evidence arising from the 
explorations into the astronomical alignments of the Great Pyramid complex 
by Robert Bauval have led West to put back the date to 10,500 BC (the 
widely accepted dating is 2,500 BC).

In his bestseller Fingerprints of the Gods, Graham Hancock has argued that 
there is evidence for ancient civilisations dating back thousands of years 
before the accepted 'origin of civilisation' in the Middle East around 
6,000 BC.  Charles Hapgood's Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings had long ago 
pointed out that mediaeval maps, called Portolans, must be based on far 
more ancient maps, and that one of these shows the continent of Antarctica 
as it was before it was covered in ice.  Through radar soundings the bays 
shown in this map have since been discovered - under a mile of ice.  Yet 
Antarctica has not been ice-free since at least 4,000 BC, and probably much 
earlier than that.

If there were civilisations that pre-dated Sumer and Egypt by more than ten 
thousand years, then Gooch's argument that Neanderthal man was a far more 
sophisticated creature than anyone has recognised also becomes far more 
plausible.  In fact, the whole field has opened up, to an extent that even 
Stan Gooch could not have guessed in the mid 1980s.  His work has never 
been more relevant.

I am inclined to believe that Stan Gooch will only begin to be properly 
recognised when all his books from Total Man onward are available in a 
uniform cheap paperback edition.  Then it will be clearly seen that his 
work represents one of the most impressive and exciting intellectual 
structures of the second half of the twentieth century.  With luck, the 
updated version of Cities of Dreams (1995) will mark the beginning of that 
process.

‘America'  with
Blinkers Removed
Now that most Americans no longer believe in the war, now that they no 
longer trust Bush and his Administration, now that the evidence of 
deception has become overwhelming (so overwhelming that even the major 
media, always late, have begun to register indignation), we might ask: How 
come so many people were so easily fooled?

The question is important because it might help us understand why Americans 
- members of the media as well as the ordinary citizen - rushed to declare 
their support as the President was sending troops halfway around the world 
to Iraq.

It seems to me there are two reasons, which go deep into America’ national 
culture, and which help explain the vulnerability of the press and of the 
citizenry to outrageous lies whose consequences bring death to tens of 
thousands of people.


Time and Space
One is in the dimension of time, that is, an absence of historical 
perspective.  The other is in the dimension of space, that is, an inability 
to think outside the boundaries of nationalism.  Americans are penned in by 
the arrogant idea that this country is the centre of the universe, 
exceptionally virtuous, admirable, superior.
 >> precisely what we Zippies were telling them in the mid ‘90s!  PLUS an 
almost institutionalised absence of GroupMind, but the article gets there too.


Historical Perspective 1
If Americans don't know history, then they’re ready meat for carnivorous 
politicians and the intellectuals and journalists who supply the carving 
knives.  Any President can stand up to the battery of microphones, declare 
that we must go to war, and Americans will have no basis for challenging 
him.  He will say that the nation is in danger, that democracy and liberty 
are at stake, and that we must therefore send ships and planes to destroy 
our new enemy, and we will have no reason to disbelieve him.

But if Americans know how many times Presidents have made similar 
declarations, and how they turned out to be lies, they will not be fooled.

They would remind whoever they could that President Polk lied to the nation 
about the reason for going to war with Mexico in 1846.  It wasn't that 
Mexico "shed American blood upon the American soil," but that Polk, and the 
slave-owning aristocracy, coveted half of Mexico.
[America is the centre of the universe, exceptionally virtuous, admirable, 
superior?]

They would point out that President McKinley lied in 1898 about the reason 
for invading Cuba, saying we wanted to liberate the Cubans from Spanish 
control, but the truth is that he really wanted Spain out of Cuba so that 
the island could be open to United Fruit and other American 
corporations.  He also lied about the reasons for the war in the 
Philippines, claiming it was to "civilize" the Filipinos, while the real 
reason was to own a valuable piece of real estate in the far Pacific, even 
if hundreds of thousands of Filipinos had to be killed to achieve it
[America is the centre of the universe, exceptionally virtuous, admirable, 
superior?]

President Woodrow Wilson - so often characterised in American history books 
as an "idealist" - lied about the reasons for entering the First World War, 
saying it was a war to "make the world safe for democracy," when it was 
really a war to make the world safe for the Western imperial powers.
[America is the centre of the universe, exceptionally virtuous, admirable, 
superior?]

Harry Truman lied when he said the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima 
because it was "a military target."
[America is the centre of the universe, exceptionally virtuous, admirable, 
superior?]

Everyone lied about Vietnam - Kennedy about the extent of American 
involvement, Johnson about the Gulf of Tonkin, Nixon about the secret 
bombing of Cambodia, all of them claiming it was to keep South Vietnam free 
of communism, but really wanting to keep South Vietnam as an American 
outpost at the edge of the Asian continent.
[America is the centre of the universe, exceptionally virtuous, admirable, 
superior?]

Reagan lied about the invasion of Grenada, claiming falsely that it was a 
threat to the United States.

The elder Bush lied about the invasion of Panama, leading to the death of 
thousands of ordinary citizens in that country.

And he lied again about the reason for attacking Iraq in 1991 - hardly to 
defend the integrity of Kuwait (can one imagine Bush heartstricken over 
Iraq's taking of Kuwait?), rather to assert U.S. power in the oil-rich 
Middle East.
[America is the centre of the universe, exceptionally virtuous, admirable, 
superior?]

Given the overwhelming record of lies told to justify wars, how could 
anyone listening to the younger Bush believe him as he laid out the reasons 
for invading Iraq?  Would Americans not instinctively rebel against the 
sacrifice of lives for oil?


Historical Perspective 2
A careful reading of history would make clear to all Americans there has 
always been, and is today, a profound conflict of interest between the 
government and the people of the United States.  This thought startles most 
Americans, because it goes against everything they have been taught.

They have been led to believe that, from the beginning, as their Founding 
Fathers put it in the Preamble to the Constitution, it was "we the people" 
who established the new government after the Revolution.  The eminent 
historian Charles Beard suggested a hundred years ago, that the 
Constitution represented not the working people, not the slaves, but the 
“slaveholders, the merchants, the bondholders”, and was indignantly 
condemned by an editorial in The New York Times.
 >> and i would say, which grieves me greatly, that there are still far too 
many different strands of the Alternative Community in America who act as 
if such political considerations and the endless sufferings caused by them 
are somehow nothing to do with Reality.  this refusal to become involved in 
political activity is a MASSIVE black whole in Alternative Culture over 
there which is not found to a similar extent in any of the other 
‘civilised’ nations of the world.

American culture demands, in its very language, that citizens accept a 
commonality of interest binding all of them to one another.  They mustn't 
talk about classes.  Only Marxists do that.

Their present leaders bombard them with phrases like "national interest," 
"national security," and "national defence" as if all of these concepts 
applied equally to all of them, coloured or white, rich or poor, as if 
General Motors and Halliburton have the same interests as the rest of them, 
as if George Bush has the same interest as the young man or woman he sends 
to war.

Surely, in the history of lies told to the population, this is the biggest 
lie. In the history of secrets, withheld from the American people, this is 
the biggest secret: that there are classes with different interests in 
America. To ignore that - not to know that the history of their country is 
a history of slave owner against slave, landlord against tenant, 
corporation against worker, rich against poor - is to render them helpless 
before all the lesser lies told to them by millionaires in power.

If they as citizens could start out with an understanding that these people 
up there - the President, the Congress, the Supreme Court, all those 
institutions pretending to be "checks and balances" - do not have their 
interests at heart, they would be on a course towards the truth.  Not to 
know that is to make them helpless before determined wealthy liars.


Thinking Outside The Nationalism Box
The deeply ingrained belief - not from birth but from the educational 
system and their culture in general - that America is an especially 
virtuous nation makes Americans especially vulnerable to government 
deception.  It starts early, in the first grade, when they are compelled to 
"pledge allegiance" (before they even know what that means), forced to 
proclaim OUT LOUD AND IN PUBLIC that they are a nation with "liberty and 
justice for all."
 >> later, when they begin to see the truth, are they subconsciously guilty 
for this Lie they have told?!  well, no doubt this was planned by the 
ruling elite!

And then come the countless ceremonies, whether at the ballpark or 
elsewhere, where they are expected to stand and bow their heads during the 
singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner,"
 >> 40 YEARS AGO, as a young man, it took me a lot of bravery to refuse to 
stand up during the National Anthem.

announcing that we are "the land of the free and the home of the brave."
 >>’s’funny.  they told us WE were!

There is also the unofficial national anthem "God Bless America," and you 
are looked on with suspicion if you ask why we would expect God to single 
out this one nation - just 5% of the world's population - for his or her 
blessing.

If your starting point is the firm belief that America is endowed by 
Providence with unique qualities that make it morally superior to every 
other nation on Earth, then you’re unlikely to question a President sending 
troops here or there, or bombing this or that, in order to spread our 
values - democracy, liberty, and let's not forget free enterprise - to some 
God-forsaken (literally) place in the world.

It becomes necessary then that Americans face some facts that disturb their 
idea of a uniquely virtuous nation.

These facts are embarrassing, but must be faced if they are to be 
honest.  They must face their long history of ethnic cleansing, in which 
millions of Indians were driven off their land by means of massacres and 
forced evacuations. And their long history, still not behind them, of 
slavery, segregation, and racism.  They must face their record of imperial 
conquest, in the Caribbean and in the Pacific, their shameful wars against 
small countries a tenth their size: Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, 
Iraq. And the lingering memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  It is not a 
history of which they can be proud.

Their leaders have taken it for granted, and planted that belief in the 
minds of many people, that they are entitled, because of their moral 
superiority, to dominate the world.  At the end of World War II, Henry 
Luce, with an arrogance appropriate to the owner of Time, Life, and 
Fortune, pronounced this "the American century," saying that victory in the 
war gave the United States the right "to exert upon the world the full 
impact of our influence, for such purposes as we see fit and by such means 
as we see fit."
 >> now where did i heart that bull shit before?!  oh yes


Both the Republican and Democratic parties have embraced this 
notion.  George Bush, in his Inaugural Address, said that spreading liberty 
around the world was "the calling of our time."
 >> zippies had just finished telling Americans  it had to start at home!

What is the idea of their moral superiority based on?  Surely not on their 
behaviour toward people in other parts of the world.  Is it based on how 
well people in the United States live?  The World Health Organization 2000 
ranked the United States 37th in terms of overall health performance, even 
though it spends more per capita for health care than any other nation.
 >> and even though it kills, poisons, cheats, rips-off and otherwise 
degrades the competition!

1 in 5 children in the richest country in the world is born in 
poverty.  More than 40 countries have better records on infant mortality, 
Cuba for example.  And, a sure sign of sickness in a society, America leads 
the world in the number of people in prison - more than two million.

A more honest estimate of themselves as a nation would prepare them all 
against the next barrage of lies that will accompany the next proposal to 
inflict their power on some other part of the world.  Iran for example?  It 
might also inspire them to create a different history for themselves, by 
taking their country away from the liars and killers who govern it, and by 
rejecting nationalist arrogance, so that they can join the rest of the 
human race

After The Neocons:
America At The Crossroads
by Francis Fukuyama,
the guy who (they said) gave us The End Of History
This book is a brutal critique of neoconservatism: and it is all the more 
damaging for the fact that Francis Fukuyama has been strongly identified 
with the neo-conservative cause.

His tone is measured, but the comprehensive nature of his demolition of 
Bush's foreign policy leaves it - and neo-conservatism - in tatters.  What, 
of course, has really done for Bush is "events", above all those in 
Iraq.  Rarely has a policy been exposed so rapidly and comprehensively on 
such a grand scale.

Fukuyama is good at reading "the moment", the most famous example being The 
End of History which succeeded in capturing the zeitgeist after the 
collapse of the Berlin wall.  One suspects that Fukuyama has accurately 
read the runes once more and that his book anticipates a sea-change in the 
American mood.

With support for Bush dipping to new and dangerous lows, the invasion of 
Iraq has failed so comprehensively that it seems bound to stimulate much 
soul-searching in Washington over the coming years. Vietnam had a 
long-lasting effect on American foreign policy: the Mesopotamian Macho 
Madness may come to be seen in not dissimilar terms.
 >> this one’s the End of the Dinosaurs’ Final Stand.  full stop.

Fukuyama sees the rise of neoconservatism as in part an excessive response 
to the defeat of the Soviet Union,
 >> One Down, One To Go!

with the belief that such an apocalyptic wholesale regime-change in eastern 
Europe could be imitated elsewhere.  This was accompanied by an overblown 
belief in military action together with the idea that American casualties 
could now be kept to a minimum.
 >> which in fact they were, compared with Vietnam.  it’s just that the 
human species has evolved beyond accepting such horrors.

In addition, there were the hugely exaggerated claims about the Islamic 
terrorist and Saddam Hussein threats, which were so obviously make-believe 
that it’s difficult to understand how so many could possibly have fallen 
for them.
 >> no, they’ve always fallen for them.  what’s difficult for most to 
understand, let alone accept, is that WoMankiind has finally reached the 
end of an Era.

The straw men have been downed one by one: the Saddam/al-Qaida link, the 
WMD mirage, and even regime-change is now crumbling before our eyes as Iraq 
sinks into civil war.

Fukuyama dismantles the Bush/neo-conservative case brick by brick.

He shows how the Bush gang failed to anticipate the extent to which the 
rest of the world would turn against the US over Iraq.
 >> not quite,  they’d already turned against the Dino Way  so the Dinos’ 
last hurrah in America simply destroyed the last strand of arrogance in 
American Culture  a deep necessity which we’d tried to shake with the Zippy 
Tour.

In truth, of course, they did not care much about how anyone else regarded 
American action - such was American military might, such was American moral 
virtue, such was everyone else's impotence and irrelevance.  The new 
anti-Americanism is traced back to the end of the cold war, the rise of the 
Washington consensus, the Asian financial crisis, and the US, in its new 
unipolar grandeur, displaying a marked insensitivity to the attitudes and 
interests of the rest of the world.  It was this kind of hubris, spurred by 
the opportunity presented by 9/11, that led to the adoption of the precepts 
of unilateralism and pre-emptive war.

The fallout from the failure of neoconservative policy can already be 
felt.  There are still 150,000 American troops in Iraq 3 years after the 
invasion and with no end in sight. The implicit suggestion in Bush's state 
of the union address in 2002 that Iraq would be followed by the invasion of 
Iran and North Korea has been quietly shelved.
 >> mucho macho bluster, as we’ve been saying, but no action possible.

In a most dramatic way, the United States has engaged in an act of stunning 
imperial over-reach. It both hugely misjudged its own power while at the 
same time seriously underestimating that of the rest of the world, most 
obviously that of the Iraqis.

Reigniting The Arms Race
For 35 years nuclear non-proliferation was a major priority of US foreign 
policy.  But now, in a throwback to early cold war power politics, 
President Bush has agreed to supply nuclear technology to India in blatant 
violation of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty.  Michael Klare writes.

Mind blowing stuff re the intelligent design/SCIENCE LOCATES GODDESS, but I 
don’t think the watchmaker analogy is a very good one.  Clocks are 
toys.  Imagine!  We run our lives according to something a group of bored 
monks made to amuse themselves!  How extraordinary!  Of course the 
watchmaker wasn’t applying magic!  Nothing we make, apart from maybe LOVE, 
has anything to do with magic  everything else is material; things we 
clever creatures of EGO have learnt to manipulate.  In terms of the 
creations that we still attribute to Mother Earth (i.e. all the genuinely 
useful things on our planet that support ecosystems and food chains, 
including the planet itself!!) we still can’t explain the really 
interesting parts like ‘consciousness’ or how our brains really work.  All 
branches of our so-called knowledge has a point with no ‘rational’ or 
‘scientifically acceptable’ explanation  randomness.

Humour and irony; mostly related to our never ending - futile? - search for 
control over that which we can never actually control.  It’s all black 
holes and dark matter and tooth fairies!
 >> Tooth Fairy Theory, i like it.

I’ve always loved the following picture of cutting edge physics: scientists 
sitting around firing ‘quarks’ (or things we can’t actually see) at very 
high speeds down tubes to “see” what happens when they hit the end, or each 
other!  Brilliant!!!  Humanity is still in its infancy.  And that’s fine 
just so long as we don’t get carried away and chuck all the toys out the 
pram; or all the nuclear missiles and crap we generate into our sand pits, 
paddling pools and fishtanks!!  Being a child can be so frustrating!!!  And 
children can be so cruel and badly behaved!  Put the gun down!!! Bad!!

Surely the only sensible (?) conclusion is that our purpose is to entertain 
and this would imply that either our ‘benevolent creator’ had a split 
personality disorder, or there are several creators  a society of them, as 
the authors suggest.  And like their more sophisticated creations; some 
have a good sense of humour and others don’t.
 >> nice cop bad cop?  pure gnosticism  knowledge.

Some are playful and some are just downright sick in the head (or wherever 
their ‘intelligence’ or ’consciousness’ resides!).  So where does all that 
leave us?!   If nowhere else it makes clear the absolute importance of our 
responsibility in not ruining, breaking or causing suffering to the other 
creations in our own egotistical and bloody-minded stupidity; especially 
other human beings, God-damn-it!!   We have so much to prove and so little 
time in which to do so!!!  Then perhaps we shall be let in on some of the 
so-called ‘magic’ (sorry, Quantum Physics!) we can’t seem to get a handle on.

We’ve already wiped out how many cultures, languages and lost how much 
useful knowledge??!   We’ve written-off how much real actual knowledge as 
‘primitive’ or ‘unscientific’??  Irreversibly lost how many species of 
plant, insect and bird???  As the Californian blonde, bearded Mullah or 
urban Buddhist said while filling their SUVs with 
premium  “whatever!”   Perhaps it’s all a question of who we want to win 
the game, or is it a bet!!??!!

Wakey, wakey, eggs n’ baccy!!!!!!!

Much love,

you are just soooo right with what you told "doug broccone" (the guy that

Listening to PM on Radio 4 I heard a piece on polio in Nigeria, and how the 
WHO almost eradicated it with a worldwide campaign of vaccination,
 >> africa-wide.  turned out that precisely the areas where the campaign 
had been most intense were most intensely hit by AIDS.

but that it's stalled in Nigeria because of religionista's total ignorance 
and pig headed stupidity, claiming it's against Sharia, and is a plot by 
the West to sterilise young muslim girls, and is responsible for spreading 
AIDS.  And I thought, hang on, they been reading the same bollocks Fraser 
uses as his knowledge base, or do they get the UP?

They have the excuse that they haven't benefited from our education system
 >> iraqis have, of course, or are we ignoring the negative effects of it?

so one can almost forgive them for being that ignorant.  This islamic prick 
was spouting 'what is polio? It's nothing!' and they reported on babies 
getting sick in the stinking streets flowing with sewage, and losing the 
use of their limbs and all the other nasty effects of polio, and I thought 
of you, and your pig headed refusal to accept anything of use in modern 
medicine and your swallowing every daft theory you read and then recycle it 
as fact, and I'm really not surprised you get emails demanding you stop 
sending 'your paranoid, conspiracy theory ravings' to them.
 >> very few actually.  does this prove that everyone agrees with me, or 
that they’re open-minded and sceptical enuff to want to at least consider them?

You really do need to get a grip,  I never know from one week to the next 
what crackpot lunacy you're going to come out with.  And when there are so 
many things wrong with the world, you dilute opposition when you write on 
such issues as vaccination and AIDS in the deranged way you do.
 >> i accept this as a fair argument.  it’s one i think a LOT about.  i am 
convinced, for example, that the ruling elite deliberately promulgate weird 
conspiracy theories among the people to muddy the waters and hide the REAL 
stuff that’s out there.  what i’m saying is that i get scores of 
conspiracy-style theories every week.  very few of them get past my filters 
into the UP!  they have to have the ring of authenticity about them.  sure, 
it’s my judgement that gets them in there

You place yourself among ignorant Nigerian Islamic mullahs and ignorant and 
corrupt South African politicians
 >> no, i don’t.  i was there long before they even HEARD of AIDS!

and against the educated scientific rest of the world.
 >> pretty much.  u mean the one that just covered us all in fine depleted 
uranium dust?  the one that’s developing MORE nuclear bomms?!  i certainly 
consider that ‘we’ are the single biggest threat to the people of this 
planet, and that’s not just bomms and mass murder and pillage.  ask 
yourself whether a culture that can do such travesties can somehow 
simultaneously have an accurate picture of reality?

And you care nothing for those children who will die or be crippled for 
life from the polio they'll contract, from the comfort of your state paid 
for home and living, what would you know about living in a poor country.
 >> u coming to morocco?  well, i’ve lived in MANY countries in the world, 
and i assure you i was NEVER living in big western hotels.  and what i 
found was that the further i travelled from ‘the west’ the more civilised 
people became.  in other words it’s us who are being de-civilised.
and i totally RESENT any implication i don’t care about dying 
babies!!!  why do i work so hard putting out the UP!  i’m working onnit 
while you’re out earning a living and helping the government buy more 
bomms, right?

There are several things you can catch in north Africa, unless of course
