Mikey Snot Is Great
Apocalypse Now....

07/07/05, Mikey Snot

Yeah, yeah I know it has been a month, fuck you too. I have a life, some what....


It is almost summer now and it is fucking bloody hot out, so I tend to stay indoors, and chill, but what do you want? I am a white boy from the north...

The other night, it was about 1:30 am and I was cleaning in the kitchen, you know washing dishes, rinsing beer bottles, wiping up crap and just a bizarre thought ran through my mind, something bad is going to happen. Now I am not going to say I am psychic or shit like that but I had a bad feeling. No it wasn't the 8 or so beers I had but... I don't know. I almost walked into the studio office and said something to Buzz while he was mixing the latest radio show about what I felt, but I kept it to myself... he already thinks I am a major tin foil hat conspiracy guy so I just kept cleaning. When I got up in the morning after about 2 1/2 hours sleep, I dragged my boy out of his crib, changed his diaper and plopped him in his chair. It was early in the morning and I usually put Sesame Street on for him at 10 am but that didn't come on for a few more hours so I did something not normal for this time of the day. I turned on cable news. I dislike TV, I especially dislike fake TV news, but for some reason, thinking back to the previous night, I turned it on to see if something "bad" happened.. it did.

An attack in London, sure you all saw it by now. Notice I didn't say "terrorist" attack, because we are at war. The bombs are an act of war. The word "terrorist" is a war tactic. When you declare "war" on an tactic, you leave an open ended meaning to the word "war". We are not at war with a nation. We are not at war with a people. We are not at war with a religion. We are at war with a "war" tactic. And in this country we are at war with reality. All peoples, political party and things that support this war are at war with "reality". When this monkey for a president declared himself a "war" president he declared war on reality. A war he failed to stop. A war he let happened by sitting there listening to fifth grade kids read. A war he failed to stop after August 6th 2001 when he was briefed in his PDB that "Osama Bin Laden determined to strike in the US". He was on vacation, went on US tax paid expense campaign fund raisers and other non Commander in Chief duties. A war he had planned from the get go. Then September 11, 2001, the justification for his whole administration. Then he declared war on the peasant peoples of oppressed US sponsored dictators in third worlds, then they declared war on reality.

Let me sidestep for a moment and look at other successful "wars" the US has engaged in in the past. I will skip the obvious Vietnam, but I will just mention we are still at "war" with North Korea. Fifty-five plus years now. How about the "war" on poverty.. still lots of poor mother fuckers out there and it is getting worse. No it is worse.... Hey I know, the war on drugs! Well that is if you are a corporate owned media company that gets bucko bucks running those sad tax payer "this is your brain on drugs" shit, dribble and plop adds. Or the privatized prison owners that get to lock up thousands of people for having a drug abuse health problem. Or the companies that get to test your piss and hair follicles to see if you did "illegal" drug in the last ten years. Or the city officials that get to confiscate your possessions, property etc. for having a spliff. To top it all off, I just read that the most abused drugs are pharmaceuticals. You know "legal good drugs"... then booze "legal" and cigarettes"ridiculously legal". So now we have another Republican "war" that will never end.

But Mikey, you say. Johnson started the war in Vietnam...Yeah, yeah he did, with much prodding from the pentagon, he enabled it but, today, he would be a Republican, he is from Texas and he was a prick... The Dem's told him to Sod off and not run for re- election...

A certain ideology has no party affiliation, see Orwell's 1984.

What happened in London, as tragic and unnecessary as it was is a result of the war in Iraq. When you bomb people, they tend to bomb you back. When the German's bombed the British, the Allies bombed Germany. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, we bombed Japan. That is the reality of "war". Bombs = people dead. Period. So now that it has happened, again this time to the people of London, the "reality" of war is hitting home, and how we react to that depends on reality. When I turned on the TV and watched on MSNBC, I was pissed. Pissed at the people who did it, and at the people that gave them cause and effect to justify that act. The act is unjustifiable. "Shock and Awe" is unjustifiable. You cannot justify carpet bombing country's, peoples, children, families, loved ones, cute kitties to get one dictator, bad guy or mass murdering killer.

We are at "WAR", so the president keeps telling us. But "WAR" against who??? A tactic. Bad Guys??? People with dark skin?? The evil empire? People that worship a different god? Or a faction of so said "god"? We are at war, we are at war. Those words echo in my mind. If they didn't come from a chicken hawk rich frat boys who never saw the "reality" of war, and his administration was made up of other rich chicken hawk draft avoiding privileged shits, I would pay no mind. But, what the fuck do they know about war, what the fuck do I know about war? I will be honest, something monkey boy hasn't is that I DON'T KNOW. But I do know that I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. But that what I do KNOW is that it solves nothing, many people suffer, and a few profit and prosper. And that the few that profit and prosper are the ones that started it in the first place.

You winger pro war and death fuckers, that didn't sign up because you are chicken shits like the fucks you voted for should be ashamed. The bombings in London are not a justification for the genocide in Afghanistan and Iraq.. there is no "I told you so" in this. This is cause and effect. This is the reality of war. So there were no flowers and chocolates. No ticker tape parades, and no Iraqi love children to be neglected and forgotten as spoils of war. They hate us not because of our freedoms. They hate us because our governments kill them. They hate us because we stole their lives, their loved ones, and their livelihoods...

Killing by remote control whether it is at 10,000 feet or by strapping dynamite to your belt is wrong. You are being spared the "reality" of war on your nightly news. There are no kill counts of the dead, there are no flag draped coffins clutering your boob tube. This my friend does not absolve any one from the realities of war. War is not sexy or fun. Unless your a prison guard at Abu Ghraib.

So if you support this war, and support the fake president, please support our troops, and sign up. Your country needs you. They are not making recruiting numbers to continue the carnage in third world countries for control of thier natural resources. So put your money were your mouth is and sign up. No jingoistic bumper sticker will do anything to unravel the mess Bushco made in Iraq, or regrow life and limbs. Enlist now.

If not, shut the fuck up.
