The title of the show is "The Holy Grail in America". The premise is that a Scots Knight Templar, Prince Henry Sinclair, the last of his breed, visited what's now called Nova Scotia to hide The Legendary Templar Treasure including the Holy Grail, trusting all of these treasures to the Micmak tribe and somehow not leaving other things, like metal, European designs of ANY kind and gunpowder. Somehow they also didn't have, as was the custom of the day, European animals such as horses (Knights in Armor not riding horses, right.) Cats. Hogs. Goats. Supposedly did bring a whole HUGE amount of acorns. To plant all the oak trees for which Oak Island was named. None of which remain. But in order to get the Treasure Hid, they allegedly built the island itself, approximately 5 square kilometers, using the "labor" resources of however many Knights could fit on a ship and still leave room for cargo and sailors. And an elaborate booby-trapped pit once attributed to a much later Professional Thief, Captain William Kidd. Of course, Knights are the equivalent of military combat officers. OK so they're exactly Military Combat officers. Worthless as labor. And then planted 5 square kilometers of Oak Trees to make it look like a regular island. Somehow in the next century and a half before the French "discovered" this island and the much larger Nova Scotia, none of the acorns from those oaks went to the mainland not a mile away. Because according to the legend of the Holy Grail Hunter Propaganda Show Pretext, that particular species of Oak only grew on Oak Island. The Micmak, who were supposedly so much in awe of Sir Henry Sinclair that they worshiped him as a Mighty White God from across the water who rode into town on the backs of not one but TWO whales, somehow didn't remember his actual Sir Henry Sinclair name, and according to the Story Line helped him build the island while not once ever taking or copying any of the designs for their own dwellings (oh, yeah, that Superior European Technology impressed them so much that instead of abandoning their own technology in favor of it, they WTF my fingers rebelled against completing that ASININE thought) or even incorporating the slightest little bit of it into their own... and somehow also mistook his ONE ship, with which they became acquainted over the twenty years it would have taken to accomplish this massive brain fart... as two whales.. People, the Micmak HAD boats. They lived on the coastal plains of Nova Scotia among other places, where they couldn't even have gotten there without the use of boats. And they DID know the difference between "one" and "two". And the difference between a Whale and a Boat. They used the latter to hunt the former, for God's sake. Somehow they also never kept or copied the Scottish sails or even the oars. They didn't take or have traded to them by any of these knights or sailors over TWENTY YEARS

Swiss refuse to hand over Polanski, US upset, still haven’t handed over Bush
Not trying to minimalize or trivialize date-rape or child molesting, but that's ONE count against Mr Polanski and (at least) Hundreds of Thousands of counts of Murder, including and especially children, against Messieurs Bush, Cheney, Rove, Petraeus, McChrystal, Rumsfeld, Prince, McCain, Kristol, "scooter" Libby, Murdoch, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Dobbs, Mesdames Rice, Malkin, Palin, Bachmann, Coulter and any other Accomplices in the Wars started with, enabled by and continued under the auspices of, blatant acts of Perjury. The charges of War Crimes against these "leaders" and propagandists are consistent with United States policies as expressed during the Nunrberg Trials against officials of the nation of Deutschland and the Vichy Government of France (which had been diplomatically recognized by the U.S.) and "collaborators" including and especially Propagandists, such as Axis Annie, Tokyo Rose and Lord Haw-Haw. Also recognized precedent, in U.S. RECENT history, every single person detained under the vague charge of "unlawful combatant" including those "arrested" in nations with which the United States has no formal extradition treaties nor, indeed, official recognition of their governments as being legitimate. Messieurs Bush and Cheney identified (vaguely) 60 foreign governments who they felt obliged to subject to the same levels of "regime change" imposed on the People of Iraq and Afghanistan. Tit for Tat. What goes around comes back around. When the U.S. "justice" department extradites War Criminals to the Hague, which unlike the Guantanamo Military Kangaroo Tribunals, does NOT have the Death Penalty, then and only then would they even begin to have a legitimate cause for their Crybaby-ass Whining about those bad ol' Europeans not extraditing to the U.S. Concentration Camp/Slave Labor "justice" System. Nationalism explicitly grants sovereignty equally to ALL nations, excluding ANY other nation from that right is not Nationalism, but Imperialism. Under quite a few treaties signed and ratified by the United States Congress and several Presidents, including the U.N. Charter, the Hague Conventions and Geneva Conventions, THIS IS ESPECIALLY AIMED TOWARD THE REPUBLICAN, TEABAG, DOMINIONIST, STATE'S RIGHTS AND OTHER DOUCHEBAG PARTIES who believe they and they alone can interpret the Constitution of the United States, or impose their so-called authority onto other Citizens of the United States or especially onto citizens in Other Nations Article 6 of the Constitution states in the second sentence: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. Bet Glenn Beck University never told you punks THAT, did he? Or Limbaugh or Michael "the savage" Weiner or Hannity... Did they? Pat Robertson, maybe? No?
Rufus, Caccini, Kosma, French Chanson
Rufus Wainright's GOING TO A TOWN (-THAT'S ALREADY BEEN BURNED DOWN in which he famously sings "I'm so tired of America") replicates, it's true, the jazz progression of AUTUMN LEAVES, and websmart-asses have pointed out the piano part is actually identical to the accompaniment of AVE MARIA by Baroque composer Giulio Caccini. At best reflecting Wainright's unconscious classical pedigree. Fail. I write at this late date because I looked it up once, and spent the equivalent effort retracing my steps when my curiosity outpaced my memory. This time I'm posting what I found for my own future reference. Just as the internet now substitutes for knowing, it serves as my backup for memory. Technicians no longer have to learn how, they have to know where to look it up online. You no longer have to remember it either, so long as the answers remain there. Anyone who agrees with Earl Okin that French popular music has followed an endless downward spiral with the minor key fugues of Michel Legrand, has perhaps film composer Joseph Kosma to blame. The Hungarian born Kosma wrote the scores to the greatest French classics, among them RULES OF THE GAME, THE GRAND ILLUSION and CHILDREN OF PARADISE. It was from a 1946 Marcel Carne film that LES FEUILLES MORTE emerged, whose jazz chords perhaps doomed the melodic melancholy of the French to mordant sentimentality. When Giulio Caccini's "Ave Maria" was unearthed in 1970, anyone with an musical ear might have wondered how the exhausting blue chord progression found itself in the hands of a Baroque composer. The musical malaise was so distinctly contemporary to the 70s, coincidentally when the piece was supposedly rediscovered. Of course it turns out it hadn't. The Ave Maria appropriated by Rufus Wainright was written by Russian composer Vladimir Vavilov in 1970 attributed to "Anonymous" I'll wager because he didn't want to take credit for it either. Somebody else decided it would have more luster if thought to have come from a more pious age. Now it's called "Ave Maria by Giulio Caccini" by Vavilov, although the association is absurd. This composition was a thoroughly natural denouement to Kosma's French Blues. Ave Maria loses none of its divine beauty, though its provenance was a hoax. The joke is on the many prominent recording artists who thought they were channeling holy canon.
Ol’ Momma Karma she’s a MEAN byotch
Saw another bumper sticker "I Will NOT be forced to learn a Foreign Language to accomodate Illegal Aliens in MY Country." First off, it's not YOUR country. You don't own the whole country. Too bad if your nasty little Klansman feelings are hurt. There were people speaking Spanish and French and Native languages HERE, in Colorado Springs, until the English came with their retarded ass "Manifest Destiny" and not only killed most of the Natives,they forced the rest of us to learn THEIR Language. The better to "accommodate" our Bigoted English Masters. Too damn bad y'all English-only Racist Freaks are getting back a small measure of what you dish out. You don't like it, move back to England. The English Nation appreciate your ill humour at those Bad Ol' Wicked Naughty Foreigners refusing to learn the tongue of their "betters". They had to murder Irish people for four centuries getting to speak English to their English Masters. And then the Irish INGRATES actually Rebelled against their Rightful Masters! How Very Dare They! Of course, the British would compel you to learn actual English grammar, spelling and usages.
French again put Americans to shame
Contrast the French to Americans once again, as they respond to their country's elite government delivered handouts in a way today unimaginable in pacified Obama nation USA. Huge crowds join French strikes Meanwhile, in America, crowds actually turn out to cheer as Obama hands out bales of paper dollars to the rich corporate world. They're in trouble, you see? American liberals seem to think that they can just go out and vote, and then return to their houses with their thumbs up their asses and watch TV. From that, they think that CHANGE will magically occur? ...and it will....Oh YES it will!... but just change they will not actually much appreciate when it does arrive. America's Left is not there, having been almost totally destroyed. But the French still have a Left, and they will challenge the power of their own rich with it. Americans are left to face the rich without any organization of their own at all. Most of them have let themselves become convinced that the Left is the actual root of all evil, and that Satan himself commands it. And truth be told many Leftists are actually demonic idiots missing in all action. To create a Left that does do anything, America will almost have to spontaneously combust before that will happen once again. Meanwhile, the French are way ahead of the Americans in being able to challenge this Brave New World of total catastrophe and meltdown that the elites are trying to force down the throats of the world population. They join Latin America in this aspect.
Canadian Palin prank call over our heads
American media outlets are distributing an expurgated transcript of the CKOI prank call to Governor Sarah Palin. Lots of the jokes made for International listeners were apparently lost on American reporters, as obviously on Palin. Prank caller assistant "Frank the Worker" introduces French President "Sarkozy" who then refers to French faux-ex-pat pop icon Johnny Hallyday as his American adviser, and the Quebec pop country buffoon Stef Carse as the Prime Minister of Canada, not Stephan Harper, the single Canadian we might know, in particular if we were governor of Alaska. Then the Masked Avenger tells Palin that his wife Carla Bruni wrote a song for her, "De rouge a levre sur un cochon" which means "lipstick on a pig!" To be sure he speaks the phrase quickly, as if disbelieving himself that anyone would not recognize the joke. The Masked Avengers, comedians Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel, often make fun of the typical American's complete ignorance of Canadian politics. This prank call refers to the Prime Minister of Quebec Jean Charest, whom the caller assumes Palin would know, being "so next to him." But they pretend his name is Richard Z. Sirois, who Canadian listeners would recognize is their CKOI cohost of "Les Cerveaux de l'info" (their radio show "The Info Brains"). It might be noted that the duo pulled an identical prank call on George W. Bush in 2000. Here's the full unexpurgated transcript of the CKOI prank call made to Governor Sarah Palin. Corrections are in bold. Notes and translations are in brackets. HANDLER: This is Betsy. RADIO HOST: Hello, Betsy. HANDLER: Hi RADIO HOST: Hi, this is Franc L'ouvrier, [trans. Frank the factory worker, a pun on Joe the Plumber] I am with president Sarkozy, on the line for Gov. Palin HANDLER: Yes, one second please. Can you hold on one second, please? RADIO HOST: Yeah, no problem. HANDLER: Alright, thanks. HANDLER 2: Hi, I'm gonna hand the phone over to her. RADIO HOST: OK, thank you very much, I'm gonna put the president on the line GOV. SARAH PALIN: This is Sarah. RADIO HOST: Uh yeah, Gov. Palin? GOV. PALIN: Hello. RADIO HOST: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment. GOV. PALIN: [off line] Oh, it's not him yet. I always do that. FAKE SARKOZY: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin. GOV. PALIN: [off line] I'll just have people hand it to me right when it's him. FAKE SARKOZY: Yes, hello, Mrs. Governor? GOV. PALIN: Hello, this is Sarah. How are you? FAKE SARKOZY: Fine, and you? This is Nikolas Sarkozy speaking. How are you? GOV. PALIN: Oh, so good, it's so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us. FAKE SARKOZY: Oh, it's a pleasure. GOV. PALIN: Thank you sir. We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you, and thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me. FAKE SARKOZY: I followed your campaigns very closely with my special American advisor, Johnny Hallyday. GOV. PALIN: Yes, good. FAKE SARKOZY: Excellent, are you confident? GOV. PALIN: Very confident, and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening. FAKE SARKOZY: Well, I know very well that
European troops in North Africa are regionalizing Darfur conflict, not ending it
French imperialist troops in Chad, backed by the US and UN, are helping regionalize and spread the Darfur fighting, rather than helping stop it. Since the entrance of these troops into the region, we have seen attacks on both the capital of Chad, and also on the capital of Sudan. See CHAD: STATE OF REBELLION section of BBC's reporting. Worse, the regionalization by US and European backed troops of the North African conflicts, threatens to also destabilize the peace accords in Southern Sudan, and also to spread new wars into the Horn of Africa, where the US has effectively destabilized peace for Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Somalia! The UN now admits that it has helped create, working alongside the US, a greater humanitarian crisis in Somalia than currently exists in Darfur. Plus, the UN and US have hardly definitively settled down the conflicts of Eastern Congo, Burundi, Uganda, and Rwanda. None of this has stopped the liberal bleeding heart imperialist community from demanding more US/ UN/ French/ British action in Africa. The entire US and British antiwar communities are riddled with these pro-war folk posing themselves off as Gandhian pacifists, who just want to stop genocides.... by calling in the troops! This is the real desert cooked up by a supposed 'peace community' that is in love with hugging the cops, hugging 'the troops', and hugging the Democratic Party politicians. They hug the supposed 'Green' corporations and Pentagon, too! In the Colorado Springs area, these folk have all but totally taken over the PPJPC (Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission) non-profit corporation, hiding themselves behind Jesus in the mean time. All the antiwar community faces a real battle against these pro-war forces inside the 'peace' community, masquerading as pacifists. Their real program is to glue the antiwar movement to the Democratic Party Right, immobilize public protest, and to defang and derail all activity outside of small little gatherings of the most conservative of liberals. Meanwhile, the Darfur conflict is becoming further spread, the Iraq-Afghanistan conflict is being further spread, and the American public has lost all desire to fight against the Rightward shift of its corporate elites. What a mess! And the greatest impediment to moving forward from this impasse, is once again folk posing themselves off as being 'liberals'. Very sad....
