INSIDE THE KINGDOM
A Feminist Dissident from the Bin Laden Dynasty — Almost!
by Chesley Hicks

"A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over is not worth answering intelligently; he is saying that no good son should warn his mother off a cliff until she has fallen over it."

— G.K. Chesterton

Book Review:
AND THE GIANT SUV THAT IS AMERICA GOES OFF THE CLIFF...
Peak Oil and the Coming Apocalypse
by Tim Corrigan

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO OUR READERS

"In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenseless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements... Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

--George Orwell, Politics and the English Language, 1946

Exit Poll: Does Z Magazine support genocide, or is WORLD WAR 4 REPORT parroting imperialist propaganda? (No fair hedging--it's got to be one or the other.)

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO OUR READERS

"The History of the present King [George] is a history of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States... He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance... He has affected to render the Military independent of, and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our Laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us; For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit... For depriving us in many cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury... For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences... He has plundered our Seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our Towns, and destroyed the Lives of our People... In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury. A Prince, whose Character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a free People."

-Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776

IS GEORGE BUSH A SITH LORD?
And Does Ice Cube Save America from Donald Rumsfeld? Well, Duh!
by Shlomo Svesnik

"The United States has gone crazy. I cannot refer to the sitting president in any manner other than Benito Bush. When I see him on television with this rigid grimace on his face he reminds me of Benito... Some time ago we ceased being a democracy and have been converted into a theocratic plutocracy. Its a very dangerous situation. It gives me the sensation that my compatriots are sleeping. Here we are fulfilling the prophecies of Orwell, but [20] years after they were predicted by Orwell."

—Harold Bloom, on Spanish TV ABC.es, Sevilla, May 26 (re-translated from Spanish translation)

Exit Poll:
Is George Bush more like Darth Vader, Darth Sidious or Benito Mussolini? Or does the left delegitimize itself by engaging in this kind of childish over-statement?

"The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally
brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an
orgiastic frenzy—then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor
bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece. Probably the rarest form of
life in American politics is the man who can turn on a crowd & still keep
his head straight—assuming it was straight in the first place."
-Hunter S. Thompson, 1937-2005
