Americans, Absa and Backdoors

As the regime in America spreads its tentacles further and has clearly begun eyeing the oil reserves in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, we’ll be seeing more and more of the CIA-construct known as Al Qieda (sp) popping up and doing things, to justify a US and UN presence. Point being, a lot of people locally have a misguided idea that ‘everyone’ in America is blindly behind the Bush regime and its fake war on terror. But this simply isn’t the case.

So here are a number of sites to demonstrate the growing resistance in the USA, which is being ignored by the mostly discredited major news networks.

To giive a sense of how co-opted the media has become, do some browsing and reading at Take Back The Media. A useful daily bookmark as things heat up, is the constantly updated headlines and links at Buzz Flash.

And for those of you who believed the official story about why Iraq was invaded, and to see a quietly stunning example of the way history is being rewritten without any media comment – read this quiet admission now, by the US, that Iraq Had No Weapons Of Mass

Destruction. Naturally, it’s safer on the mind to assume no malevolent

intent and simply say that Bush Is A Moron. (Speaking of which, I notice that Absa is either catering to the low IQ’s among us, or is trying to help bad typists – look at what happens when you mistype ABSA as ASBA.

Here in South Africa, where leaders see nothing wrong in telling mourners at the

funeral service for the late Sisulu to show their respect for that leader by ‘voting for the ANC at the next elections’ – it’s clear someone needs to throw some cream pies at government officials. Perhaps we need local versions of President Moron. Or maybe the ‘softly softly’ approach is the right one, such as found at Who Dies For Bush Lies?.

Why not join the campaign to send the US President postcards reminding him that

he never got the majority vote? For the text and the address of George Bush, go to Send The Minority President a Postcard

Campaign. Or for a lot more information, try the no-frills approach of

resistance resources at Failure Is Impossible. As well as at The

Real George Bush. And you’ve probably had a number of the genuine

‘Bushisms’ sent to you via email – truly weird odd comments and off the cuff

statements that make Thabo Mbeki’s paranoia seem not so bad after all. Read Bush Speaks.

Then to lose some of the humor from the bumbling and often sociopathic sayings

of the current US President, walk slowly through the body count of deaths at Bush Kills.

Then, minor gear change, into Propaganda and psychological warfare territory.

Recall the newspaper coverage of the soldier who was allegedly rescued by US forces from the Iraqis? To show you how reality is now being stage-managed to a

frightening degree, and that what you read in the newspapers and saw on

television was a lie, read The Real Saving Private Lynch.

Hopefully the above-assorted links will demonstrate that seeing America as a

single unified bunch of people firmly behind the global expansion plans of

Dubya and Dick, really isn’t correct. There’s a vast quantity of Americans who

are as disgusted and horrified as the rest of us. So don’t fall into the easy trap of assuming anything about America en masse – reality isn’t that simple. At last, a total gear change. Here at the Mail and Guardian we’re lucky enough to be treated like civilized and intelligent humans – in other words, a lot of work is being done by staffers from their homes. None of this primitive come-to an-office-and-sit-and-be-watched-by-a-boss nonsense that seems to delight most SA companies. Go discover the brave new world of Telecommuting.

Of course, if you yearn for the good old days (not that they ever existed anywhere) have a crash course in Questionable Medical Devices.

If you’re a fan of horror films, then you might recall the famous scene from Night of the Living Dead, where the little girl goes ape and slaughters her

mom with a trowel in the cellar (This sounds like a psychotic version of Cluedo, doesn’t it?) Point being – the little girl grew up, and has her own web page. For a first-person look inside a piece of film history, go to The Ghoul Next Door.

And staying with glorious films that would make the if-its-in-a-foreign-language-it-must-be-an-Art-movie morons hurl, go browse through the large collection of reviews by the premier B-Movie film critic Joe Bob Briggs.

Then something to print out and make a poster of, is this not-for-kids’-foul-mouthed-computer-version of the famous Trainspotting movie monologue. Go take a look at AdminSpotting.

There’s a lot of information online about assorted deliberate security holes and ‘backdoors’ inherent in Windows – to help the NSA and other intelligence agencies snoop easily on what you’re doing. Given the current local climate of

growing fear thanks to the ANC being legally armed with more and more snooping

powers, it might be useful to read up on this concept.

Start by reading this news story, about an ex-NSA analyst (the secretive National Security Agency’s job is to carry out the US government’s intelligence gathering operations) – and the ex employee details how ‘backdoors’ have been built into almost every version of Windows, to allow secret access to your PC when online. Read Ex NSA Agent.

Now for an overview of the concept, including info on IBM handing over info to help spy agencies slide into users’ PCs at Microsoft, The National Security Agency and Backdoors. And consider the info at NSA Backdoors.

Until the next time, if people who can’t spell Absa don’t get me.
