"Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you're foolin'?"
--- Who Do You Think You're Foolin', sung (and written) by Donna Summer (Polygram Records, 1980)

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and thus clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
--- H. L. Mencken (1880-1956)

My youngest daughter turned 16 two months ago. I have begun to give her the lowdown about men.

Basic Truths About Men and Women

Such as how men and women cannot just be friends. It isn't in the cards, because of hormones and genetic programming. The character played by Billy Crystal in the movie When Harry Met Sally was absolutely correct when he told Meg Ryan that men "basically want to jump them, too" (that is, have sex with every woman they meet). Sneakiest are the guys who say they want to be friends (especially those whose advance just was rebuffed). There simply is no such thing.

She also needs to understand that men and women respond to each other differently for a reason: Men fundamentally are polygamous and women monogamous because of the genetic imperative driving all of us to reproduce. You see, it takes only a few minutes for a man to transmit his DNA forward (less, in some cases), but a woman requires 9 months at minimum (and more, to ensure survival). That difference has led to the eternal double standard. Men know what I'm talking about, trust me. Men have to work at marital fidelity a great deal harder than do women. The only thing that saves the vast majority of men is lack of opportunity.

Never Trust a Man with a Comb-Over

I'm acquainting my daughter with other important things about men, too, including: Never trust a man with a comb-over. Yes, that self deception in which a balding man deludes himself into thinking that growing his hair out to an incredible length on one side of his head, then simply flinging it over to the other side, will cause others to think it looks as good as it does to himself. For example, take this fellow:

He actually thinks we don't notice that he is bald all the way to the back of his skull. He thinks that, somehow, we will believe he has a normal head of hair. He probably thinks that young girls my daughter's age find him attractive. I assume that a disproportionate number of perverts, child molesters and murderers of women and children have comb-overs - not to imply, heaven forbid, that this particular fellow should be viewed in that light.

Visualize him in the men's room mirror prior to this photograph, carefully patting it all down into place and then, smiling broadly, giving himself the thumbs-up and saying, "All right!!!" I've actually witnessed this routine when such a man didn't realize he had an audience.

I've always thought how singularly strange these guys look when outside, caught in a sudden gust of wind, the whole thing lifts up as a unit, revealing that hair spray had to be used to keep it all in place.

Really, now - would you buy a used car from this man? Seriously - think about it. Someone who thinks he can delude you with something as obvious as a comb-over? He could persuade himself that you might be deceived by anything he said or did, don't you think? Look at those close-set, sneaky eyes. In this picture, you can almost hear him chortling over some poor sucker whom he just fleeced, as he rubs his hands together, Scrooge like. Or, perhaps, he is plotting the abduction of some poor innocent and is considering where to hide the body.

What a Nation's Leadership Says About its Character

Coincidentally, the man with the comb-over pictured above happens to be Ehud Olmert, Israel's current Prime Minister and architect of the genocidal frenzy that has been taking place in both Palestine and Lebanon. Past Israeli Prime Ministers have included self-confessed assassins (Begin) and mass murderers (Sharon) who thought themselves fit to mingle in amongst normal, decent people. That such men are selected to lead should tell you a great deal about Israel.

Not that choosing a boob like Bush to lead America is not just as telling. H. L. Mencken (1880-1996) once observed: "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Mencken also said, "The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth." While I would like to think that this is why everybody believes Bush and not people like myself, I suspect that our Zionist pals have more than a little to do with it.

Since we're discussing how a nation's leader reflects his following, I cannot let it pass that the always-perfectly-manicured and -coiffed Tony Blair seems to me to be the penultimate symbol for the American poodle that Britain has become. Cheap shot? I think not.

Just for fun (or not, depending upon your outlook), here is a picture of the cadaverous Michael Chertoff, Jewish head of America's new Gestapo, the Department of Homeland Buffoonery. Chertoff was a prime architect of the Constitution-trumping Patriot Act. Chertoff also, while "serving" as Assistant Attorney General, was personally responsible for allowing countless numbers of Israeli terrorist suspects to flee back to Israel and then quietly killing the related investigations. Did you know that Chertoff is a citizen of Israel, too? Did you know that Chertoff hired KGB and Stasi officials to help him convert America to a full-on police state? Did you know that "Chertoff," literally translated from the native Russian, means "of the devil?" Just asking.

Do You Believe in Coincidence?

The just-announced plot by Muslims to blow up "a great many" airliners in flight from London to America using two-part liquid bombs, including the arrest of one of them, allegedly with the makings in a carry-on bag, happens at a very convenient time, indeed. Convenient for Bush, Blair and Olmert, in fact.

It must be just coincidence that the Bush/Blair poll drop due to the Iraqi fiasco suddenly accelerated into a freefall because of Israel's US-backed and -financed genocidal campaign against Lebanon and Palestine.

Also coincidental: both "leaders" were on vacation at the time and saw no need to rush back to the office to deal with this latest "event."

Another coincidence: One day prior to the latest "terrorist" announcement, pro-war Jewish Neocon (but I repeat myself) Joe Lieberman unexpectedly lost an important primary election to a nobody in an early demonstration of just how the public intends to deal with all pro-war elected officials in the upcoming November congressional election.

Just last week, for the first time, facts disputing the official 9/11 story were broadcast nationally, again and again, in the form of a taped, two-hour panel discussion on C-SPAN. This was a momentous event that garnered a good deal of attention - much more than C-SPAN anticipated, which is why it rebroadcast the program a total of five times during the week, prompting increased discussion in many quarters throughout America. Just coincidence, of course, that such a program got such attention just prior to unveiling of the "liquid bomber" plot.

Nor is C-SPAN the only one suddenly to be disclosing what really happened during 9/11. The official cover-up story about 9/11 fast is unraveling. America's largest church, the Presbyterian Church, just published a book discussing governmental responsibility for 9/11. Yesterday, former CIA official Bill Christison went public with the allegation that "significant parts of the 'official story' put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false." The timing of all this is just coincidental, of course.

In another coincidence, it has become clear that Israel's genocidal campaign in Lebanon went nowhere beyond the massive killing of women and children and destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure. Many outside America's government and its controlled media now are saying that Israel lost this battle, among them a great many Israelis.

After all, it is undisputed that 1500 Hezbollah members fought to a standstill tens of thousands of Israeli soldiers, all of them outfitted with the very best equipment and armaments that American money can buy - including tanks, fighter jets and guided missiles, not to mention white phosphorous and napalm bombs.

Quickly shipped by America and used by Israel in the last hours of fighting before the UN-sponsored cease fire: cluster bombs, which inflict maximum casualties and gruesome injuries when dropped amongst crowds. Ask yourself why America and Israel felt the need, not only to step up the campaign in the fashion that Israel did, once the impending cease fire was announced, but also increase the severity of the carnage thereby being wrought.

What seems lost in all the hoo-ha is the fact that Hezbollah had no part in formulating the cease fire that just took place. No signatures, no withdrawal, no retreat, no surrender, no laying down of arms. Israel needed time to lick its wounds and reformulate strategy because its much-vaunted military unexpectedly ran into a meat grinder. Suddenly, all of the Middle East realizes that Israel is not the undefeatable enemy that so many have thought. You can bet that Israel realizes the fix into which it now has gotten itself.

Israel desperately needed a distraction, not to mention more provocation to get its cannon fodder (your children and mine) in line to finish the fight Israel once again has picked, yet cannot finish by itself. Problem is, both Iraq and Afghanistan now have proven America incapable of finishing this sort of fight, either.

Coincidental, as well: Prime Minister Ehud "Comb-Over" Olmert last week replaced the Israeli commanding general responsible for the Lebanese fiasco, who simply fought Israel's last war, as generals are wont to do. Now Israel quickly needs to figure out how to fight this sort of decentralized and seemingly leaderless but coordinated enemy.

Any bets on how long before the fighting starts again? Odds are that the cease fire doesn't last a month and perhaps not even a week. Arabs soon will figure out that they should press the advantage gained in southern Lebanon, while the Israelis still are disorganized and shuffling generals and, possibly, leaders ... in other words, "Comb-Over" Olmert almost certainly now is on the bubble in Israel, just like all of America's incumbent congressmen. If the Arabs don't start things up again, you can count on Israel to create another deception like the alleged "kidnapping" of its soldiers (they were on Lebanese territory when captured) to justify resumption of its eradication of Arabs - just as soon as Israel figures out how to beat them, that is.

I'll bet it simply is coincidence, too, that the worldwide outcry against Israel reached fever pitch just prior to the current "terror plot." The "liquid bombers" conveniently draw attention away from what obviously is just a lull in a battle in progress. For those disappointed that WWIII apparently has not yet begun in earnest, relax. This is the way that wars are fought when the aggressor starts off by losing battles.

Tell me, do you really believe in coincidence?

Terror Plot du Jour

Bothersome about the latest alleged terror plot:

It took the Brits a week after arresting the perps suddenly to decide the danger required canceling all trans-Atlantic flights and suddenly imposing draconian new restrictions on passengers. Some unnamed officials say they knew about the plot for weeks in advance, if not months, so ask yourself why now? Why not when they first learned of the scheme?

Confiscated liquids and pastes are being tossed into the same barrels, where many containers leak and bottles break. The danger supposedly is in the mixing of two separate liquids, yet there is no problem with mixing them there in the terminal? One has to wonder why those barrels are not handled with anything resembling that necessary for dealing with hazardous materials, as logic dictates.

Some airports are forwarding unopened bottles of perfume and the like to needy institutions (I'm sure that none of it finds its way home with employees, of course), which makes one wonder why they were confiscated in the first place as potentially hazardous materials.

The liquids involved in the alleged bombs - peroxide, acetone and an acid catalyst - are clear, easily detectable and quite different from virtually all the paraphernalia now being confiscated from airline passengers.

The alleged makeshift bombs are difficult to mix, unstable and very weak. The quantities of liquids required to be effective easily can be detected simply by the previous already-too-draconian protocols in place at airport terminals.

Many of the alleged perps do not possess passports, so one has to wonder just how they intended to get aboard the jets the government claims they intended to blow up.

After being informed of the presence on board of someone "suddenly" discovered to be on some government watch list, the pilot of the jet involved was ordered to continue on to Boston, where American officials could snag the perp, search his bags and discover the "bomb" ingredients, then announce the plot. Unexpectedly, the pilot disregarded orders and, instead, turned his plane around and returned to London. Thus, the impact upon Americans largely has been lost. Undoubtedly, the pilot's intransigence explains the one-week delay in announcing the "plot," while officials endeavored to put together another attempt, then decided that world events had overtaken them sufficiently to require its disclosure as is.

In a detailed and highly-plausible article, Alex Jones alleges that the plot actually was hatched to save Blair from behind-the-scenes maneuvering by Prince Charles and others to replace him as Britain's Prime Minister, in precisely the manner by which Blair's replacement of Thatcher was orchestrated.

Bush and Blair: Proven Liars

Remember the Sears Tower "terror plot" disclosed by a breathless Attorney General Alberto "Torture is OK" Gonzalez a few months ago? Government and its lapdog media terrorized all of America with that one for a while. The FBI busted 7 homeless guys hanging out in a Miami warehouse, studying the Bible (hint: Christians, not Muslims) and calling themselves "soldiers of God," but Rodriguez could never explain exactly why. Not one shred of evidence of a plot was found, no weapons, no bomb-making materials, no nothing. Oh, a couple of the guys "had been to Chicago before." What was relevant, however, was that Bush's poll ratings had been dropping prior to the bogus terror scare. Go here for an on-line video of a segment from Comedy Central's Jon Stewart that hilariously covers all the foregoing points about the Sears Tower "event."

Do you recall last year's "London 7/7" train and bus bombings, supposedly pulled off by members of a Muslim terror cell carrying bombs in backpacks? Eyewitnesses stated that the blast went up through the floors of the trains, which in itself disproves the government story, similar to the OKC false-flag bombs which blew outward from the Murrah Building, not toward the building from where McVeigh's truck supposedly sat. What's more, just like 9/11's malfunctioning airport cameras that filmed no terrorists boarding planes, the London-7/7 on-bus cameras allegedly weren't working, so as to catch the perps in the act. And, just like so many other of these little "terrorist" acts, the government had been running simultaneous exercises concerning the very thing that they claimed was done by Muslims. How coincidental.

Nor should we forget about Bush's bald-faces lies concerning the Al Qaeda connection and Weapons of Mass Destruction that justified his invading and destroying Iraq, thereby losing over 10,000 American soldiers to date (the government admits to only a fraction of them).

Muslims as Victims - of Our Deception

Now, maybe the guy arrested recently really thought he might be able to blow up the plane, unlikely as experts say that would be, given the quantities of materials he is alleged to have had. Maybe, in some misguided way, like Tim McVeigh and the Okalahoma City bombing, he saw himself fighting the good fight. If so, I virtually guarantee you that he was led into it by government agents, just like the first World Trade Center bombing, which history shows that the involved "terrorists" were recruited, organized and provided all necessary materials and equipment, including explosives, by America's own FBI. At minimum, evidence of advance knowledge on the part of government officials of an impending terrorist attack, an attack then allowed to take place, in itself justifies prosecution of those same officials.

Word has filtered down from "unnamed sources" that many at the highest levels of government wanted the perps taken down only after a few planes had been blown out of the sky. What is wrong with this picture? In an honest courtroom, we could get convictions of all government officials with prior knowledge of these events - and not just on conspiracy charges, either.

False Flags Fluttering in History's Breeze

Alex Jones also has posted an instructive article in which he recounts and documents a great number of past "false flag" terror alerts and events later shown to have been government hoaxes or masterminded by government. He describes one operation that particularly stands out as providing the template for the current claims of Blair and Bush:

"Associated Press reports that the dastardly new terror plot is a re-hash of Operation Bojinka - a 1995 plot to blow up 10 Western airliners simultaneously. What they don't report is that its ringleader - Ramzi Youssef - was protected by the US government in 1992. In September of 1992 Youssef entered the US with Ahmad Ajaj. Ajaj's luggage contained documents on how to make bombs and was stuffed with fake passports and ID's. Ajaj was arrested - amazingly, Youssef was released.

"Youssef later masterminded the WTC '93 bombing after FBI agents provided the terrorists with real explosives under cover of a supposed sting operation.

"Ramzi Youssef is a US government agent and his Bojinka plot - supposedly foiled by his intelligence agency bosses - is now being used as the latest monster under the bed to scare US and UK citizens into surrendering what's left of their rights. Isn't it amazing that US government officials claimed ignorance of any Bojinka style plans before 9/11 and yet now they re-hash one for a faux terror alert."

Of course, then there is 9/11, the mother of all false-flag events, for which both the Afghani and Iraqi wars allegedly are being fought, and in which the evidence of Israeli and American government complicity is even more overwhelming than is America's in the case of the Oklahoma City bombing.

Films like Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11" and the truly masterful "Loose Change" (which can be downloaded from the preceding URL) do a good job of dislodging one from the notion that box-cutter-wielding Arabs with no real flight training somehow pulled off 9/11.

The official cover-up story about 9/11 fast is unraveling just lately, too, just as I noted earlier in this article.

The FBI certainly wants all of us to forget the first World Trade Center bombing, mentioned above, in which the FBI was caught red handed providing the explosives that were used.

At minimum, Israel is proven to have had advance knowledge of the 1983 Beirut US Marine Corps barracks bombing, yet it did not warn America. Therefore, Israel is complicit in that bombing, as well.

History is rife with far too many false flag events: The Reichstag Fire, Pearl Harbor, Sinking of the Lusitania, for example. Like 9/11, far too many bear Zionist fingerprints of one sort or another.

After all this time and all these "events," you no longer believe in coincidence, do you? Surely, I can be forgiven for simply assuming that this latest plot to terrorize Americans and Brits is just another in a long string of government-sponsored "false-flag" operations. In fact, it was so obvious that something was coming that even I announced at the outset of this month: "9/11 Comes in August this Year," the name of a piece in which I gave many of the reasons why another contrived terror event like this had to happen.

Here's the bottom line when dealing with these events: Always follow the money ... always ask, "Who benefits?" a question that will lead to the truth each and every time.

Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

Our ongoing problem: This past week's two-part liquid plane bomb dog just isn't hunting. The only people buying this event as genuine are those who insist upon believing our government-controlled mainstream media.

Then, of course, despite recent lessons proving that neither Israel nor the U.S. can win these wars against seemingly defenseless Arab countries, the Neocon warmongers still need something to induce the American and British public to get behind the Israeli-dictated attack against Iran, one Middle Eastern country that actually seems capable of defending itself.

"They" will have to up the ante with something even worse, likely something that results in the loss of a great many innocent American and/or British lives. A small price to pay to ensure the political careers of Bush, Blair and Olmert and, of course, the nonstop flow of American money and arms to Israel so that it can kill even more Lebanese women and children. At least, this time the money trail is more than a little obvious. And they have to do it soon, because the American mid-term Congressional elections get ever closer.

In the fullness of time, I wager that, as with 9/11, in addition to elements of both America's and Britain's current criminal regimes, Israel's fingerprints will be detected all over the recent "liquid bomber" plot, not to mention the upcoming disaster that still needs to occur. Don't forget: Never trust a man with a comb-over.

Of course, it is an Israeli company that already is responsible for American airport terminal security, isn't it?

The money. Don't forget to follow the money. Always, the money will lead you straight to the one responsible for a given event - the one who benefits from it.
