"We're Positive About The Negative"
This E-dition filed 4/29/04 from NENYland, the northeastern corner of New
York State (i.e. the hinterlands). Our Precision Reality Center, located in
Plattsburgh The Dull, now features Bull Tracker 9000. More details at the
end of this e-dition.

* Question Of The Moment *
Q: What is the difference between an insurgent and a freedom fighter?
A: It depends which side of the bullet you're on.
* We're Not Fey About Tina *
Enough.
Not one more still or moving image. Not one more article or interview or
"news" feature.
In a 24-hour period we've been saturated to an absolute degree of pukedness
with the so-called Fey phenomenon. And you don't know who Tina Fey is, then
you've been living under a rock, away from any media outlet. (And if you're
reading this in the distant future and you don't know who she is -- well, at
least one of our wishes came true after we died.)
When you look up the term "media whore" in the dictionary you'll see her
photo. Of course, she'll be wearing layers of fake-up to appear better than
what she really is. (Nasty? Tina showed an unflattering photo on Saturday
Night Live of an actress and said, "So who's been beating up Meg Ryan?")
There's a scar on her face that she won't talk about. That's nice.
Apparently it's one of the spots where Satan licked her.
Newspapers, magazines, TeeVee -- everywhere we turn there's hype ad nauseam
for Tina and her new crappy movie. (We won't mention the title because
she's getting too much publicity as it is.) They call her the It Girl. (Or
did they drop a couple of letters from the "It" part?) With her black-rim
glasses she's the pin-up queen for nerds. She drip dries, doesn't wipe.
Anything you don't want to know about Tina, you'll still get bombarded with
it.
What set off this rant is that we try to follow news, real news. We tuned
our TeeVee to Charlie Rose (PBS) who was interviewing a New York Times
reporter in Iraq about the growing chaos over there. As a worthy
counterpoint to that subject, Charlie also had on Tina Fey. Of course, we
tuned out that part.
There is news and there is pseudo-news. The difference between It and
Shit.
* A Total In A Window *
Meanwhile, while everyone is mentally masturbating unto the image of the new
goddess Tina Fey, the real world grinds on.
At the local university an office window displays three digits. The last
time we looked it was 679. It must be higher by now.
Every day potential draft bait walk by that office window, shuffling between
classes, caught up in the insular world of college. The typical student is
probably oblivious to those numbers, what they mean. Or, if aware of the
meaning, most just shrug it off. After all, They -- Those In Power --
wouldn't dare to activate the draft, forcing young men into military
service. Why, there would be such a public outcry -- it'll never happen.
9/11 served as the perfect excuse to invade Iraq. So wait and see what
ensues if another terrorist act erupts here on the home front. See what
bullshit They will use to blind the citizenry. The sheeple will be more than
happy to send their sons off to fight for Capitalism -- oops, we mean
Democracy.
Of course, They'll have to come up with a euphemism. It's worked before.
For example, years ago They wanted to avoid pissing everyone off with the
word "taxes" -- so They substituted a more friendly term, "revenue
enhancement." Instead of "draft," They can call it "temporary human
resources utilization." They'll promote it for homeland security, training
inductees for only "domestic utilization" -- guarding subways, water plants,
airports, etc. You know, the same stuff the National Guard used to do --
until it was revealed it could easily become the Inter-National Guard.ÊÊ
It's depressing. We walk by that office window and wonder how long before
the total jumps to four digits. What will be the final tally?
And what will it mean in the end?
* The American Dreamer *
So, Binky, ya think you live in a democracy and have equal rights, that no
one can lord over you, Mr. Average Citizen?
Scenario: Somebody Not Nice detonates an atomic device in the vicinity and
you're trying to escape before the radiation gets you. The military has a
helicopter ready to go but there's only a couple of seats open. So you get
in line with your fellow citizens, thinking you'll get a fair shot at
escaping death.
But guess who was visiting your town when the bright mushroom rose in the
sky? The President of These United States. So there goes one seat.
And who will get the other seat? Well, take a look at this waiting list and
tell me where you would rate on it:
The President's Advisor.
The President's Doctor.
The President's Speechwriter.
The President's Dentist.
The President's Podiatrist.
The President's Second Cousin.
The President's Aunt Twice Removed.
The President's Tenth Cousin's Podiatrist.
The President's Dog.
The President's Luggage.
The President's Tapeworm.
So waddaya think, Binky? You think you're better than a presidential
parasite? Well, be patient, you're number 12 on the list. Other copters
will arrive; just wait your turn. In the meantime you will suffer from a
few somewhat disagreeable symptoms: vomiting, rectal bleeding and sudden
hair loss. But hang in there. After all, you're an equal among equals.
* Grains Of Truth Embedded In Boulders Of Bullshit *
There's enough conspiracy in the world; no one has to add to it.
But there's always a nut out there obscuring the truth with half-baked
theories. For example, there was indeed a CIA project called MK-Ultra: the
Agency tried to find ways of using LSD as a mind-control drug or
psychological weapon. Documentation can be found, articles and records.
The 1977 Senate hearings chaired by Ted Kennedy into CIA abuses dealt with
MK-Ultra.
It is true that a psychiatrist in Montreal, Canada, was dosing some of his
patients as part of the MK-Ultra research project. The television news
magazine, 60 Minutes, interviewed one of the unsuspecting guinea pigs. She
felt she was going insane and wanted to end her life. She said she would
stand on a curb, thinking about throwing herself into the traffic rushing
by.
But some people, motivated by a need for attention or a quick buck, have to
put their own spin on actual events. They take grains of truth, mix them
together with wild suppositions, and then layer on the BS until they foist
on the public a stinking heap of conspiracy wackoism. Of course, wackoism
makes it easier for the government to paint all of its critics as paranoid
nutcases.
A reader recently emailed me the link to a Web site promoting its own Grand
Unified Theory of Conspiracism. It did have a sprinkling of facts. The
truthful grains were that one of the Columbine shooters lived in Plattsburgh
before moving to Colorado and that the Plattsburgh Air Force Base (PAFB) did
close years ago. The other grains: Plattsburgh is relatively near Montreal
(it's about a hour drive between them) and the father of one of the
Columbine shooters was assigned to PAFB. And, yes, there was an insane and
illegal CIA project called MK-Ultra.
Now go to <http://www.cyberspaceorbit.com/quin.html> and read how all of
this "apparently" fits together. Since the Plattsburgh Air Base was near
Montreal, then the MK-Ultra operation in that Canadian metropolis had to be
connected to mind control experiments (supposedly) conducted at PAFB. And
since Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters, lived in Plattsburgh, then
he must have been a victim of MK-Ultra. That explains how he ended up going
on a shooting rampage at Columbine High School with a friend.
But there's more. PAFB never really closed; operations are still going on,
literally underground in "a VAST, 18-level subterranean facility." And to
quote further:
"Local residents and other eyewitnesses report that the base, though
somewhat deserted, was still in some level of operation in 1997 even on the
'surface,' AND that top-secret operations were definitely going on in the
documented 18-level underground complex beneath the base..."
Local residents and other eyewitnesses? Name five, please.
"This was verified by EM/RF signal detection equipment."
Really. Who did this detecting? How did they do it? Some homeless
schizophrenic picking up phantom messages on his tinfoil hat?
And getting back to that line about residents seeing strange stuff going on
at the decommissioned base. We've driven through, biked through, and even
walked around the base. Nothing much going on. Some businesses have moved
in but a lot of the housing and some of the buildings sit there empty,
rotting away. We haven't heard from anyone who has seen anything out of the
ordinary, especially one friend who in lives in an apartment house on the
base.
It could be argued that the author of this site isn't necessarily lying when
he uses qualifiers like "indications" and "reports indicate." For example:
"Reports indicate that this legacy [MK-Ultra] continued at Plattsburgh
through the 70s and beyond with electromagnetic/radio-frequency MK
activities tied to some of the experimentation at Montauk."ÊÊ
Here we go. The Montauk Project. We won't delve into all of the details of
this sci-fi story. Briefly: the government was conducting mind control
experiments at a secret installation (at an Air Force base, of course) and
some sort of unspeakable monster materialized from someone's subconscious.
The beastie went on a rampage, smashing up the place. (It was probably Tina
Fey.) See how far we've traveled from the reality of MK-Ultra and the
Columbine shootings?
Did you know that Plattsburgh is near a theme park called Santa's Workshop,
located in the town of North Pole, NY? It features a white column
representing the northernmost point on the planet. Kids love to touch its
cool surface. But maybe that pole is refrigerated for another reason
besides fitting into the park's theme. Reports have indicated indications
of a mind-control transmitter buried within that column and it must be kept
cool or overheating will result. Some scientist or some guy in a bar has
noted the developing brain of a child is very sensitive to radiation.
Obviously a zombie nation is being created among our youth. Don't believe
it? Look, Santa's Workshop is near Plattsburgh and Plattsburgh is near
Montreal where those horrible MK-Ultra experiments were conducted. Ergo,
MK-Ultra lives on at Santa's Workshop. Also, besides Donner and Blitzen, it
is reportedly indicated that one of the park's reindeer is called Montauk!
It all ties in.
Especially when you de-scramble the letters to Santa's name and discover his
true identity...
