Well, almost: just looky here:
The U.S. military has warned Iraq that it will shut down military operations and other vital services throughout the country on Jan. 1 if the Iraqi government doesn’t agree to a new agreement on the status of U.S. forces or a renewed United Nations mandate for the American mission in Iraq.
Cool! [...]

“Obliterate Them”?

in News of the Dead, Unsolicited Opinion, War

Oh that Hillary (addressing the topic of Iran)… Some words should never be uttered, not even in the heat of a national political campaign. If you like that kind of language, though, this is what you’re signing up for:

Post-blast corpses in Hiroshima, Japan

This photo and others like it were only recently released. They’re from August, [...]

Mission Accomplished

I think it’s time for this again. I first used this image (which I created) on March 14, 2003…

Over one million human beings dead!

The singular moral and political event of the last eight years. From this crime, so heinous, widespread, corrupting, and ongoing as to defy comprehension, comes the present state of America: hated throughout [...]

It’s the nationalists versus the separatists. Read all about it here in the best analysis of this I’ve ever read.

Fourth Undersea Cable Cut Yesterday [Updated]

by JHF on February 4, 2008 · 1 comment

in News of the Dead, War

I do not like the sound of this. From Earthfiles:
Cable linking Qatar to the United Arab Emirates was damaged on Sunday, February 3, causing more telecommunication disruptions. Egypt’s Communications Ministry reported Sunday that damage to the undersea internet cables in the Mediterranean was not caused by ship anchors, as previously speculated. In fact, the Egyptian [...]

If you don’t know this fellow, give him a chance: “‘2012′ and the Poet’s Dilemma” is Daniel’s latest offering at Reality Sandwich (see sidebar for primary link). The topic is very close to my own daily deliberations, and there are some great comments appended. Here’s a sample of where Daniel is coming from:
I am very [...]

John Fogerty’s Latest

in Art, Music, War

I’m hearing good things about (most of) the new disc, called “Revival.” Here’s a good article by an obvious fan where I found this: Fogerty singing “Long Dark Night / I Can’t Take it No More” on the Letterman show (link).
Now that’s more like it. Besides being one helluva performer, Fogerty is an outstanding rock [...]

Sun and Cold

in Consciousness, Personal, War

Well, that was a short fall.
Fourteen degrees all of sudden is quite a shock. I’ve been burning wood all day. Most of the trees still have their leaves on them, but not for long. Fourteen degrees, my God. I never even checked the radiator fluid. Did cut the water off to the outside spigot. All [...]

Beautiful Photos from Iran

by JHF on October 6, 2007 · 1 comment

in Consciousness, War

Take a look. Take a good, close look. Posted by the blogger Nezua (“The Unapologetic Mexican”) in a piece called “One More Moment Before We Bomb,” these images of Iranian life are stunning and will grab you by the throat.
Interesting blog… I’m rather envious of his graphics skills. [FarrFeed looks like tarpaper by comparison.] The [...]

Follow-up (Third Way)

in Consciousness, News of the Dead, War

This relates to the previous post about Mark Morford’s Friday column and came to me while I was trying to respond to my old West Texas high-school buddy’s comments. Just for fun, here is where I think the field is moving:
The perceived strength of the planet-eating fascist Xian loonies is essentially an illusion. While they [...]

Morford’s Latest

in Change, Consciousness, News of the Dead, War

Ah, so nice. I think Mark Morford’s latest column sums up the war and us quite perfectly. I do in fact believe he’s made my day.
He calls it “Iraq, Deep in Your Bones.” Go have a look, if you’re inclined. You’ll need to start at the beginning to understand the “two dueling Americas,” [...]
