Drone Assassination Killing: Immaculate, Righteous & Ritualistic

The translation of Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutti" comic opera title says " Everyone is doing it".

The defense of United States drone assassination is that it's saving many lives by killing a few lives. To hear  advocates, drone assassinations approach gods own judgement and execution.. It's immaculate. It's ritualistic. It's righteous. And its cost effective. How can one argue against a god like approach to killing? In the tradition of a long history of celebrated assassins, which include Brutus, John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan and the many suicide bombers past, present and in the future, you are honored by the highest form of praise ---imitation.

If drones were around in Cole Porters day, he would have included a reference in " You're The Top".

The Age of Assassins : History Will Repeat

Julius Caesar was the first de facto emperor of Rome. That was in 49 B.C. He was followed by 94 more emperors.. The last one was Justin II in 578 A.D. Only 32 of the 95 died from natural causes. The rest were assassinated in various forms. The reasons for their deaths were the same as why one would kill a tyrant today. They don't know their limitations and wont take no for an answer.The main assassins were the Praetorian Guard in cahoots with the Roman Senate.There very few individual heroes like Brutus.

     Our 21st century is filled with regional war lords who would become eager emperors if they had their way. A quick tally of the 21st century list of deposed tyrants or hated tyrants or wannabee tyrants is unprecedented . From the United States to North Korea and every nation in between  But where will the assassins come from?

Presidents Day & Assassins Day

Tommorow is Presidents Day. Abraham Lincoln will be "honored' also. Why would we honor one of the most reckless chief executives ? On his watch, an American Civil War took the lives of app. 700,000 North and South soldiers. We shouldn't leave out the East and the West either. I'll bet that some people from all points of the compass voted for Lincoln. Boy were they surprised what this ugly, mean spirited attorney did with his power of the presidency. What about the deaths of pets, livestock and wild animals and birds? How many structures and homes were lost? How many fires burnt out because they ran out of trees and grasses? 

Only John Wilkes Booth took vengence upon himself to rid the country of Lincoln. You might have guessd that they would have been standing in line at Ford Theater to get a shot at the great organizer of disaster. Most humans are lazy and cowardly.

Politicians Threatened By Death: Temporary or New Normal?

Today the F.B.I. reported the arrest of a person who threatened murder to Senator Patty Murray of Washington. Also today the F.B.I. announced the arrest of a man who threatened to kill both House Speker Nancy Pelosi  and her husband, Paul. Last week Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, who is also the Republican minority whip, got a death threat and a bullet hole in his office window. The man who threatened Cantor was arrested. It's not clear whether he 's also the one that fired the gun. All arrested people used the passage of the unpopular healthcare bill as the reason. While Cantor was opposed to the passage of the bill, the F.B.I. maintained that the healthcare bill was the reason for he being targeted. It should be noted that Cantor is an active Zionist. He supports Israel and preaches that America should support it at all costs against all countries and all peoples. No matter what the cost to the U.S. I suspect his allegiance to Israel upsets more than a few people.

Trouble in paridise. Is this the end of the salad days for low talented, no moral compass reps in Congress? Is there a price for lies, wars without end and binge spending by this criminal class ? I hope so. Congress does crimes in a legal way. Therefore, by definition, to oppose Congress with the same kind of brute force they use is termed illegal. The laws of the lands didn't protect the French nobility when they lost their heads or the British Empire when the colonials seized America from King George II.

The three people who were involved in the Murray, Pelosi and Cantor episodes don't appear to be related or commomly organized. They just had the same idea at the same time. That's the most dynamic kind of movement- instant recognition and plans by everyday people happening in a spontaneous way. Lookout if they get organized.

P.S. My new book of fiction predicts revolution in the U.S. It's titled " Contempt of Congress: Bay Boomers Talk, Sex, Race, Politics, Environment & Revolution" . Fiction today, fact tomorrow.

Political Movie Fantasy Based On The "Alien"

In the final scenes of the 1979 scifi thriller "Alien", Ripley harpoons the alien and its attached tether neatly swings the beast into the furnace of the jet thrusters. The alien dies.

As our fantasy story opens, the players are on Air Force One. President Obama is increasingly drousy after drinking a specially prepared drink from his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He just got word that Vice president Joe Biden has been found dead in Fort Marcy Park. It was an apparent suicide. Also on the plane is Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As per the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 Nancy Pelosi would become president if anything happened to Obama. And if anything happened to Pelosi ,Hillary would become president. The camera does a close up of the glass. What was in that drink?

Pelosi suspects and is visably troubled by the sequence of improbable events happening when she's alone with Hillary Clinton at 35,000 feet. Pelosi asks Hillary, "What was in that drink?". Hillary turns slowly. Her face has a look that's menacing and threatening with a touch of gleefulness. Hillary speaks, " Now it's my turn". Pelosi panics reaches for a hidden gun and gut shoots Hillary. The anti-Christ pops out. It's the love-child of Hillary and a Cuban waiter. Hillary was somewhat surprised at the fetus. She looks mournfully at the dead child and then falls to the floor dead.

Pelosi slumps in a chair. She stares at the ceiling . She's exhausted. Suddenly she hears what sounds like a zipper. Someone is walking towards her in mincing steps. It's Bill Clinton. His trousers are around his ankles and they hobble his walk. Bill speaks, " Thanks for getting rid of my bitch. Will you make me Vice President or will you do something else for me?"

Nancy is speechless. The camera fades....

Heraclitus & Hillary Clinton

The 6th century B.C. Greek philosopher Heraclitus said," Our fate isn't written in our stars but in our character".

And so Hillary's secret wishing on a star about a Robert Kennedy June timetable " assassination" of Barack Obama fated her to an " obliteration" of her political chances in the democratic nomination race . Character matters. When one pursues "obliteration" -as was Hillary's warning to Iran -obliteration may be the puruers fate.
