SURGE AND SACRIFICE...and Everything Nice

[ Reposted from 1.03.07, reposted after THE Surge Speech ]

OR BUSH DOWN THE DELUSIONAL RABBIT HOLE...

So today it was leaked to America by the BBC( in the articale linked in the title) that Bush does indeed intend to "Spend" More Troops and Lives in Iraq in SURGE And SACRIFICE. It really isn't a "Plan" as much as Bush sticking his draft-dodging pinky into the hemmorhage at this point. He has been so busy "Listening" this Past month ( must be hard with his fingers in his ears, and hiding in that Thick Crawford Brush ).The Iraqi Study Report which was longly awaited was oh-so- quickly dismissed by the Southern Comfort King. Even this past week Voices of the Dead have reached out to Bush telling him that Iraq is an ill-concieved baseless "War".Even the new Defense Chief Mr.-Keebler-Elf-Gates traveled to The Godforsaken Bloody Prize and came back to report to King Delusion, I can only wonder WHAT the King heard.

So I have to ask WHO came to the Tea Party down at Crawford, and WHO is the Mad Hatter at this point ? Is it Condi ? Is it Dick ? Have they all fallen down the Rabbit Hole ? Was here any talk of Logic and Proportion ? Don't they realize that sending More troops will only incite More Violence and More Rage and More Hate and More Blood and More Death and More Destruction.( As if Saddam's Lawless Hanging has not brought enough Agony ? ) Did Bush take Pills labeled Victory and they made him "tall". Did he hear the Rabbit ( General Casey) say it 's Too Late ? Did Anyone tell him that if you chase rabbits you will fall down the Hole. I think Someone did. And Nobody ever listened to the Doormouse at all...

Because as the article above states SOME Invisible Nameless Republican Stated that at this point This Is Alice In Wonderland.

In the song below , in the refrain it talks about " Feed You head, Keep Your Head". But It's too late, I think Bush has lost his Head, His Mind. It is Too Late to Feed it Any amount of Truth or Logic. The Song even accurately talks about the Red Queen Being Off Her Head. It talks about The Men on the Chessboard Speaking up and telling the Queen Where to GO, and I think maybe we need the Military Brass to Speak up and tell the King where to go. Or Who will tell the King where to go, the new Senate ? the New Congress ? You and I? WHO?

The Question is WHAT are we going to do about it ? I don't know about you, but I don't want to see One More Life Wasted over there. Enough is Enough. Bring Them Home.....

No More Troops Down Bush's Delusional Rabbit Hole.....

Go Ask Alice

THE DICTATOR WANTS TO EJACUALATE MORE TROOPS INTO BAGHDAD ..THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.HOW DO WE STOP A MADMAN? MASSIVE RESISTANCE PLANNED.....

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Okay so the King is going to give his speech tonight. Here are some questions that the Media FORGOT to Ask, and had better start asking NOW. TONIGHT.

(1) WHY is Bush taking Orders from the Embattled New Iraqi Leader?
(2) Is Malaki Actually Experiencing a Coup in Baghdad ? WHY else is Baghdad in Chaos?
(3) If Baghdad is In Such Strife ( which Bush was denying merely a month ago ) WHY can't Bush or any of the Repug Leadership come out and call it what it is :CIVIL WAR ? Is Bush allowed by the Constitution to Sacrifice OUR troops to a Civil War ? ( The answer according to Constitutional Law is NO).
(4) The American and Brits have trained over 400,000 Iraqi troops in over 8 provinces- WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING SHIFTED
INTO POSTION ?
(5) What happened to the "Coalition of the Willing?", and HOW MANY are left Mr.Bush ? ( Can you count them on one hand?)
(6) So we have a NEW Defense Director- HOW Come we have heard NOTHING from him- not a Single Word - since he went to Iraq? How bad is it that he has now gone MUTE.If Bush is not heeding advice of Penta Brass then is he now a Dictator ?
(7) IF ONLY 10-11% of Bush's base support the troop Increase - How many will support him after tonight?
(8) If Bush is not even supported by Repubicans, WHO is left ?
(9) HOW DO WE STOP THIS MAD MAN FROM SENDING MORE GOOD MEN AND WOMEN IN HARMS WAY?
(10) IF THE "PRESIDENT" IS MISUSING THE TROOPS AND VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION TO PLUNDER OUR TREASURE IS THAT NOT AN OFFENSE THAT HE AND THE VP CAN BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

FOLKS IF BUSH THINKS HE CAN THROW OUR TROOPS INTO A CIVIL WAR JUST BECAUSE HE SAY SO, HAS HE NOT ALSO MADE OUR OWN COUNTRY MORE VULNERABLE ? AND IF HE IS SO ADDICTED TO THE SACRIFICE OF OUR FLESH AND MONEY HE WILL INSTITUTE A DRAFT YOU CAN BET ON IT.

THERE ARE STOP WORK STRIKES AND PROTESTS BEING PLANNED NATIONWIDE FOR TOMORROW AND ALSO JANUARY 27TH. I GOT NOTICES FROM FOUR DIFFERENT NATIONAL GROUPS TODAY. PLEASE COME BACK HERE LATER TODAY FOR NEWS ON THIS FRONT.

*[for anyone interested, famed NAZI leader is Diekman- this is him looking gleeful, his own troops turned against him eventually- after he murdered thousands]*

BLOGGERS PLEASE CALL AND EMAIL HER OFFICE ALL OF YOU...
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE.
PUT SIGNS IN YOUR CARS AND YOUR WINDOWS.
THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE TO STOP THIS INSANITY.

TIME TO TAKE AWAY THE PURSE FROM THE KING....

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
TIME TO CUT THE PURSE STRINGS......
The Imperial KIng has decided that he will Cowboy his Victory Delusions Hell or High Water. He will listen to No Elder Wiser Statemen, Experienced Pentagon Brass, not even Dead Presidents speaking from the Grave. He is determined to have more Flesh and Blood, Our Friends and Families, Our Children Maimed and Murdered for the benifit of His and His Alone Oily Wet Dream. ( Okay Dick's too). He "Wants" 20,000 More Troops, but listen carefully my friends it is JUST FOR BAGHDAD- HE AIN'T TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE OF IRAQ. That's right he is only talking about ONE city, so there you go he gave himself wiggle room, so that he can get MORE TROOPS. And he is thinking in that Jim Beam addled brain of his that if he asks for MORE Troops Surely Everyone would Support Giving More Money for More troops. Because let's be real folks- "The Money" never went to the Troops- not really -it went to ALOT of real questionable Contracts....not for Armor or Protection , hell even meals and socks.

There are over 3000 articales out in the past three days on this issue alone, in EVERY paper you can Imagine, Get the facts and get Ready, Because your Job is Clear, get out Your Dialing Finger and start calling and Emailing DC, it is time to remind DC, ALL OF DC, that WE THE PEOPLE PAY TAXES AND SUPPORT THE TROOPS, BUT WE WILL NOT SPEND ANOTHER DIME TO HELP THIS DELUSIONAL LEADER BRING MORE HARM TO OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WE SUPPORT THEM BUT IT IS TIME TO BRING THEM HOME.

Don't just call your own reps , go ahead call other states, especially Repugs, because they need to hear from ALL OF US. It is our Money and our Troops. And Bush views the Troops as HIS TOY SOLDIERS TO BREAK. But the Money, is ours and not his, so call DC today. Also send Letters to the editor, and post them to your blog, and if you local paper won't print, send it here I will. And go talk to your ministers, ask to organize a Prayer Vigil for the Night the King Gives his Greedy Demand of a Speech.
Put signs in your cars and House Windows, saying " BRING THEM HOME, NO MONEY FOR GEORGE".

We gotta get THEM Home, before more Blood is senselessly shed.

A Simple Messege....1.06.07

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

It is very very late Friday Night. I am trying hard to get the Enigma Cafe tidied. I have to spend a couple of days away from The Cafe, tending to Some Life Matters.We all go through Changes, it is merely a part of life. Change when it effects everything, requires reflection and careful thought, and even some Solitude. Mindfulness is a big part of being Buddhist, but it takes time and patience, but it always brings Clarity.

I call this Geogaphical Fate, sometimes it is all about What we need to do and Where we go , and who we need to be with on the Journey. And sometimes we actually are allowed to look in our heart and listen and make decisions that help our families and those we love. And sometimes Fate and Destiny collide, and no they are not the same.

So I have put up some posts for the next few days. The Train to Somewhere , Journey one is beautiful and soothing....
Most titles have links to sites, articles or music that hopefully you will enjoy.....

Take care of each other and be well. I will be back on Monday ( or so).
Namaste.

A TRAIN TO SOMEWHERE.....

When one is on a No Fly List , one examines Other Modes of Transportation, of Flight. I am on The List because I was an environmental health activist when I lived out West.I investigated a Large Chemical Company who had many ties to the current Regime.( When my book Silent Fallout comes out you all will learn alot more.It will be out in the next year and a half, before the next election). It is true I also worked on Human Rights Issues as well, because when people are being dumped on that is a Human Right Issue. And I brought some Issues Of Knowing Endangerment to the Federal Government. That led to Federal Investigations. Some were not so happy about these Investigations. They were less than polite. It brought Changes to my life, a journey that I am still on. And somehow even provided me the rather ominous distinction of placing me on a No Fly List. Yet now as Time has passed I have learned that Many are on The List, thousands of wonderful Americans just like me.The funny thing is I have always loved trains, they are beautiful and move with a rythym that stirs my heart. I can hear the Hum of the Land and Beat of the People.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
This song is by Tangerine Dream. I often dream of Trains and riding them. I have taken them all over the Country. If you take the train below you are in for a Beautiful Journey. It you click the title you can take Another Train, a train to a Different Time and Place. Enjoy the Journey, which ever one you take. Because in the end, it is all about the Journey.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Love On A Real Train

We The People need more Keith Olbermanns....Now.

Who should the Media be listening to? This is more an open thread that started in my head , so please bear with me, while I ponder this. My question is this, the media has for so many monthes humped the Delusional King's Agenda. There have been very few Voices that have brought Truth to the People. I came name them on one hand. They are indeed Brave Souls and they Risk their jobs daily. Keith Olbermann has led the way. Anderson Cooper also has shined. Jack Cafferty is definently on the List. Joe Scarbourough seems to have also joined in, even though he is politically conflicted at times, but he seems to have indeed entered the Frey. We need More Voices.

We the People have resorted to News and Information and even Investigations from some very odd assorted "Sources", BBC, The Guardian, John Stewart, Dave Letterman, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Harpers Magazine,The New Yorker, The Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair.It is even true that Book Sales are up. It is true in all previous Dark Times in History when a Government Muzzles the Press and Speech , people seek Comediennes and Underground Papers. We are in such a Dark Time.

Why doesn't MSM, especially after this last Election Tsunami , try to work more with the New Journalists, yes, Bloggers and online Papers. There are many fine Blogs that have been filling in the Sinkholes that MSM is waltzing around. Crooks& Liars, Raw Story, Daily Kos, Truthout, Media Matters,Craig Crawford,Skippy,Democracy Now, Huffington Post, FDL and so on and so on. They should start to recognize these Blogs, Online Papers are actually covering Real Issues and Read Everyday by Real People. They don't answer to any Big Money Companies or worry about Ad revenue, so they actually have Integrity. And if only they would interview People with Integrity too, not just the AEI ( American Extortion Institute...). Is it really too much to want Integrity and Truth back in Journalism.

My Point is that this Bush Regime has been Wagging the Dog to damn long, and Now Lives Depend on Change More than ever. 20,000 to 30,000 lives to be honest.....Journalistic Integrity has become a Mather of Life and Death.

Women Are Now in DC, Mr.Bush, Deal with It..... 1.04.07

It is now Thursday Evening of the First day of the Power Shift in Washington DC. Today Nancy Pelosi was voted in as Speaker and also sworn in, it was a Powerful Moment.( There is a song to go with this moment, click the title). She let Future Generations, Children not only come and watch their government, she let them Touch the Gavel, Touch Power. I watched this moment with my son, and was awestruck that I have waited so many years for just this moment. I made cookies to celebrate and honor him and honor the Mother that is in ALL women. Women have now come to DC, and they have come because the Delusional King has sent Our Children into a FALSE WAR,a Battlezone. It is up to Mothers and Women to remind the Republican Blowhards in DC that Life is Sacred. It is time for us to help end the Corporatocracy in DC that is crippling this Country.

Iraq, a Senseless Excuse of a War, was WHAT brought People, We the People, to the Polls, because we have seen 1000's of Lives Wasted, and families shredded apart by Greed and Ignorance and Arrogance. We the People had new meaning at the Polls in November, it was Parents, Grandparents, College Students, Hard Working Poor and Middle Class that showed up and supported Change. It was up to Real People to remove the Well Tarnished Silver Spoon from King George's Mouth and Put it in a whole new location. People also came to the Polls to SUPPORT the Troops and the Troops Families, because they know that they are being treated as Expendable and Cannon Fodder.

This Blog will be evolving and changing over the next month, I am embracing Women, and Women of History, yet you will see them in More Womanly Forms. ( You all may have seen the Devorrs Pinup 1942 Lovely that I posted on New Years Eve). Why you may ask , isn't that disrespectful ? No. The Suits in DC have forgotten that Living Breathing Women, even at their most lovely and shapely are THINKERS. So yes, I will be partly doing it to Piss off the Few Trolls I still have. I also am doing it to Honor Women and show WHO we are. During WWII Pinup Girls were Huge, but not because they were just Lovely, inspiring, and Morale Boosting, but because the Artists were also trying to say Thank You for ALL of the Women that were Manning the Country, and the War Plants. ( That is also WHY Rosie the Riveteer is posted below). And yes, on another note I think remembering a bit of History and Womens' Roles is not so cumbersome for a few of my regular fellows.Many of my regulars that write me offline are VETS, and I honor them as well, so it is a bit of a gift back to them as well. But I also am doing it to Honor the Women Bloggers, there are now 100's of us, that just like WWII and the Resistance during WWII , we have brought Energy and Voices that this Battle against the Bush Regime needed. As a Single Mom with a teenager, I am deeply committed to fighting this Regime tooth and nail to protect my son and All of Our Children. I believe that there is Power in the Pen and the Phone, and even in this Blog to help better protect and advocate for Our Children.

This blog will continue to be a the Enigma Cafe, the Coffee Shop, with Thoughtpieces, Laughter,Angst,Snark,Humor, Music, Dialogue, and YouTube. If you send me pictures or YouTube I do try to post.I will be blogging alomost Daily this year. ( Yes Enigma has lost her marbles). I also am updating my Blogroll and if you want to be listed please let me know, as it has been damaged a few times this year, and I don't want Anybody Excluded. I also am open to hosting Guest Bloggers if anyone is interested. I will continue to blog on ALL issues that effect us, and yes, there will be alot about Getting Out Of Iraq. And yes, you can bet I have Hope that there is still Another Long Overdue Watergate Summer Coming to End this Age of Corruption...Peace. Namaste.

110 th Congress Convenes:

Today as a Woman, as Mom, as a Nurse, as a Blogger, I watched the 110 th Congress convene. For the First time in my life I watched a Congress stand up and take the floor that truly was brought there by the people. The People of America in November sent a loud messege to DC and the White House. We all worked hard to send that Messege, and worked hard to get these people elected. We have Great Expectations because they are obligated to Work for us The People. I watched a Woman, a Mother take the Position as Speaker for the 1st time in 200 years. Children for the first time were allowed to touch the Gavel. Senator Pelosi in her very first sentence announced that we need to get the Troops in Iraq Home.

And to All of those Fine Bloggers that Helped make The Moment Happen, We did it. There is sadly still Much Work to be done to get our Troops Home and end this Criminal Regime. Thank you.

The Song Below is about WHAT it is all About. I pray we get the Troops Home This Year.

KEITH OLBERMAN'S BEST COMMENT YET 1.03.07

Did you see Keith's Special Comment tonight, Wednesday 1.04.07 ? Why not ? Go right now to Crooks & Liars, YouTube or the MSNBC site and see it. I watched it at Midnight, and I wished I could see it again, right away. It was the Best One Yet I think. He really let Mr.Bush have it about the New Surge & Sacrifice "Plan". Please write to Keith and his producers at Countdown@MSNBC.com .

2006 Year of Toil & Trouble

So every year I stay up on New Years Eve and put together a HUGE Jigsaw puzzle...and reflect on the last year. In this case much of the last year was indeed a Jigsaw Puzzle, waiting for the Pieces of this Corrupt Morass to basically fall into place. I read the CNN Top Story list and was almost laughing at how much they Forgot ? So this is my list...I pray it is a little more accurate reflecting WHAT needs remembering....

Here is a Random List of WHAT I will remember, as a Bloggeress....And Remember this is in NO particular order.
( BUT if you think I forgot Something, please do let me know )

I think this is an amazing summary...

NEW YEARS DAY 1.01.07

Happy New Year....
The Enigma Cafe was open late last night...all night. Songs and Memories were shared...My cat explored the Fondoo ( she liked it just fine, she was offended by the Humans going Ekkkkk ). I will post later today , but for now there is plenty there for you great music still on the Jukebox, the slow dances from last night are listed first, and then there's the Let's Kick off our shoes and Really Dance Songs....and there is a "wonderful" pithy little Funeral Review, and some art and music from last week. Make yourself at home...
