  • Photos of MARCH 8 Colorado College SDS mass DIE-IN to mark 1,000 US death in Afghanistan. http://notmytribe.com?p=15308
  • Drudge Report got a plug on the screenplay nomination clip for . A war flick that takes no moral side is propaganda.
  • TOONS featured Kathryn Bigelow in the Directors Section because we lacked for women directors, not because her films were great.
  • Real reason Oscar acceptance speeches kept short, to fit a longer pre-game show. Red carpet couldn't get enough of actors blabbing.
  • Kathryn Bigelow thanked the US soldiers & military, reminded me I had her confused with the great female director Penelope Spheeris.

Shootout at the OK Fort

Hood. Texas. At a base theater and sports complex. Some of the News people are already speculating al Qa’eda. Sounds like horseshit to me. Three guys in uniform is all they’ve been told and it leaps to being a Terror Attack.

Look at the rational side here, People… in Uniform… on a Very Large Army Base in the middle of Texas … in the middle of that base… when everybody on base is on alert and have been for the past, oh, let me see… 8 years and almost two months….

Did I mention the fact that it’s an Army base?

Now, on base, you’re not allowed to carry a loaded weapon. That’s a very important safety measure for the soldiers. Aside from the possibility of say, three soldiers going apeshit and killing a bunch of their comrades, there’s the very real probability that somebody would get accidentally shot. The US Army has about a couple of billion man/years worth of experience in the handling of Firearms. They actually know what to expect and take measures to prevent it.

IF somebody representing either a foreign or domestic hostile group managed to penetrate to the heart of Fort Hood with loaded firearms, what kind of really draconian regimentation would the Piggoes have to impose on us in order to “keep us safe”?

Think the Airline inspections are rough, try getting on a military base sometime.

Shit, the Peterson Field front gate allowed Miss Johnnie on base, followed her around, (by the way, they weren’t SPs, they were Mercenary “soldiers” and probably the Blackwater Death Squads) and then they threatened to arrest Miss Johnnie for going on their base, following instructions from the VA, to get her ID card. The best way to describe Miss Johnnie is “frail” at the best of times, VietNam widow, and at the time she thought the cancer was coming back. And these Mercenary Pigs were threatening to arrest her for claiming the health care her late husband left to her.

Given that experience, I find it really difficult to believe that any Foreign Insurgents actually infiltrated the Greenest of Green Zones on Fort Hood Texas.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I sincerely doubt it and the assumption that it’s al Qa’eda is so unjustifiable that… well, there aren’t enough words in the English language to describe how unjustifiable that kind of Panic Mongering Propaganda would be.
