To my big brother on his 60th birthday
- we used to share a bedroom, me on the top bunk.
Hi Bro,
Happy birthday,
is it really 60 years?
I havnt got a camera for the computer, so I'll probably just call you from home.
I havnt been paid for Nov or Dec, so it looks like this company is going down the gurgler.
Maybe I can get a retiree visa in RP, they have them for Thailand. Its a question of pension residence requirements, which I know naught about. It surely wont be a long retirement with rum at $1.30 and cigs at 90c. Way to keep the people quiet. And cheerful. Until the big C, at which point we move to Mumbai, which I'm told is where you can buy morphine, now that Chaing Mai is drig-free. Comprehensive retirement plans, I oughta start a business steering old folk into pleasant climes. Actually I would recommend a sea-side place, for the fish. Not too close to any tourist beaches. City barrios lack food-growing spaces. Half of my banana trees have gone down in typhoons, the other half get pinched early. My hipag sister and her girlfriend R, and their 3 kids have apparently arrived in my house. R was working in a bar in Mindoro, apparently a moralist crusade has closed all the bars there. At least when you're having a coup d etat you dont tend to get these morals campaigns. There were 5 or 6 kids already in the house. They were getting good school results, but we may have to cancel all that, and revert to 'Dora the Explorer' as the sole source of education. I dont care enough about literacy to subsidize a whole village to school. Some guy just knocked at the door here at work asking for donations for bowel cancer research or some such. Having a house in a poor country gives me very little patience for any kind of begging in a rich country like Aus. Bowel cancer research can take a running jump, even though its the thing most likely to kill me. If a rich State wont support medical research, and Bill & Melinda arent around, then to hell with it.
Heres some advice:
N-Acetyl-Cysteine 600mg and kyolic garlic capsules taken before drinking, will prevent hangovers. Also keep up the Lecethin, it may prevent the dreaded brain shrinkage. Or not.
Who really cares?
cheers
GB

Personally, I am through forever with investigative journalism and public lecturing. I am leaving public life. It is my hope that by continuing to repeat this sincere position that many of the inexplicable difficulties which have dominated my life over the past months will ease.

- eat your Polonium/Dioxin soup and shutup Mike...

Six Brutal Truths About Iraq
Wed, 20 Dec 2006
Truth No. 1: No “deal” of any kind can be made among the warring parties in Iraq that will bring stability and order, even temporarily.
Truth No. 2: There was no way to have “done it right” in Iraq so that U.S. war aims could have been achieved.
Truth No. 3: The theory that “we broke it and therefore we own it,” with all the moral baggage it implies, is simply untrue because it is not within U.S. power to “fix it.”
Truth No. 4: The demand that the administration engage Iran and Syria directly, asking them to help stabilize Iraq, is patently naïve or cynically irresponsible until American forces begin withdrawing – and rapidly – so that there is no ambiguity about their complete and total departure.
Truth No. 5: The United States cannot prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Truth No. 6: It is simply not possible to prevent more tragic Iraqi deaths in Iraq.

And I remind every educated Muslim that his role in confronting the Zionist Crusade is to bear arms. If he cannot, then he must support and serve those who are bearing them, and he must speak the truth to the faces of the idol-kings, tyrants and arrogant ones, and mention them by name: i.e., he must say that Hosni Mubarak, Al Saud, and Ibn Hussein are puppets and traitors. This is his role, and not to prattle and prevaricate or seek his livelihood in writing and interviews

Chalmers Johnson discusses “military Keynesianism,” in which “the flow of the nation’s wealth — from taxpayers and (increasingly) foreign lenders through the government to military contractors and (decreasingly) back to the taxpayers.” As a result, “the domestic economy requires sustained military ambition in order to avoid recession or collapse.”

When Benjamin Franklin was asked, “What have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” he replied: “A republic if you can keep it.” We’ve not been paying attention to what we need to do to keep it. I think we made a disastrous error in the classic strategic sense when in 1991 we concluded that we “had won the Cold War.” No. We simply didn’t lose it as badly as the Soviets did. We were both caught up in imperial overreach,

marijuana better at suppressing clumping ..
