Iraqi Invasion: A Text Misadventure
Revision 88 / Serial number 54892

Oval Office
You are standing inside a White House, having just been elected to the
presidency of the United States. You knew Scalia would pull through for you.

There is a large desk here, along with a few chairs and couches. The
presidential seal is in the middle of the room and there is a
full-length mirror upon the wall.

What do you want to do now?

> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.

> LOOK MIRROR
Self-reflection is not your strong suit.

> PET SEAL
It's not that kind of seal.

> EXAMINE CHAIRS
They are two several chairs arranged around the center of the room,
along with two couches. Under one couch you find Clinton's shoes.

> FILL SHOES
You are unable to fill Clinton's shoes.

> EXAMINE DESK
It is a large, oak desk, with several drawers.

In one drawer you find a bag of pretzels.

> EAT PRETZEL.
I don't think the pretzel would agree with you.

> INVADE IRAQ
You are not able to do that, yet.

> GO RIGHT
Far-Right
You are on the far right of the political spectrum.

Photo Op
You are at a the Emma T. Booker Elementary School, along with a gaggle
of obsequious members of the mainstream media.
There is a book here.
There are some children here.

> READ BOOK
You read "My Pet Goat."

In the distance, terrorists attack the United States.

You fly around aimlessly for a while, then return to the White House.

Oval Office

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought
significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

> MONGER FEAR
"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof --
the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud ..."

> MUDDY WATER
"We know that Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network share a common
enemy -- the United States of America. We know that Iraq and al Qaeda
have had high-level contacts that go back a decade. And we know that
after September the 11th, Saddam Hussein's regime gleefully celebrated
the terrorist attacks on America ..."

> PUNISH CRITICS
"Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an
Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction ... "

> RAILROAD CONGRESS
You schedule a vote on the Iraq invasion for just before the 2002
midterm elections. As usual, spineless democrats roll over like an SUV
taking a sharp corner.

Your plan to invade Iraq now has the backing of the American people and
Congress.

> INVADE IRAQ
Baghdad
You enter the Iraqi capital of Bagdad, having toppled the government and
captured the nation's key cities in only 21 days. You can't seem to find
the promised throngs of citizens greeting you as liberators, but the

Review: ian rankin fleshmarket close

Subject: Review: ian rankin fleshmarket close

Review: ian rankin fleshmarket close
(Plot Spoilers ahead)

Glasgow
Edinburgh
Old cities with many visible ruins of ancient conflict
A murder mystery
What kind of story is that?
A death
A hunt
Clues
Resolution
What symmetry within does it mirror to resonate?
During grade 3 or 4 I read hercule poirot, nero wolfe, and sherlock
holmes and others
Always I've seen the lie in whoring as being the oldest profession
What of Beowulf, the three musketeers, antigone, dare I say jacob, pro
patria morie - the oldest lie in the world
Nay
I saw the parade today
The proto soldiers whoring for roger's santa parade or was it for
collecting for the food bank or to add an inch when they look in the
mirror - I know snide remarks are not becoming but here they are
Murder
Murder is the oldest profession
And whores are flies to its sepulcher [sic]
Everytime I hear a snigger about the oldest profession
Stop
Imagine dying tomorrow
But before dying I will eat better than those who are not soldiers
But before dying I will wear ceremonials robes
And I will kill and rape
Before I am sent to my grave
For that is my pay
(And perhaps visit the temple's brothel, the comfort women, the instant
city sprung up around the barracks - and still in india daughters are
sold to temples - yet here I am certain unwanted daughters are treated
worse)

And in edinburgh a refugee, an ayslum seeking, a turkish kurd, a
journalist is stabbed 7 times.
He wanted to save his family that were being held in detention. He
discovered a gangsters plan and tried to bargain with the gangsters for
his families freedom.

Gangsters have illegal immigrants hidden working for little money but
safer than where they came from?

Economic refugees will not stop coming.
Heroin addicts will not stop fixing.

We can reduce the flow and minimize the pain and suffering of the ones
we have here.

Of course it is ironic
I interview programmers looking for work
1. Here in vancouver, recent immigrants
2. And there in beijing
Capitalism is such

But it is so old
And too many people have walked this way
The path is the same - it is through the eye of the needle we must go

For all its youth
Vancouver is cruel
But we have no death camps
Where did we send the japanese?
But we have no genocide
Did we not kill them all with smallpox?
But we have no hiroshima
But we have no vietnam
No josef mengele
But we have robert picton and clifford olson
But we have systematic sexual abuse at residential schools
And We have chinese bodies beneath the railroads

Only the ruins are gone
The weapons are missing
Where is the testament to their blood sacrifice?
No castles to remind us of the ancient conflict
Clues for future detectives to learn the truth

In the fleshmarket close, the mastermind is old and untouchable, an
ancient sea serpent, who we find in his outside jacuzzi preying on the
sick and the weak.

Which is my indictment.
I do not like the way I am raising my son and daughter
At first I believed that carrot and stick was best
But I do not want obedience
I love them and they know not how much
But if I were them what is it I hear?
Too much of what I remember saying is conditional on doing what I want
in exchange for something they want.
Do your homework and you can play nintendo.
Eat your lunch and you can have a candy cane.

After reading fleshmarket close, I see that this maybe the way of the
gangster. The dark side. The way of fear and power.

The storm troopers knew they were doing the right thing. They did not
think they were monsters. They were doing good work, ridding the world
of evil, one jew at a time.

Is this the horror we see in the scream? Or when Neo comes out of the
matrix? Or of christ nailed to the cross? Or the self immolating
buddhist monks?

To see myself revealed, as sinner, as murderer, as Cain.

To be Cain.

And I killed him. And I know. I am the detective of the murder I myself
have committed. I have killed my brother.

To be caught. To be punished. To be absolved.

To have the blood of the innocent lamb of the world, the son of god, my
brother, dead at my own hand, yet washed clean because of it.

This is the mystery.

And yet, as a father, I give my body to feed my children.

Thank you.

Cain and abel

My greatest hit album

ancient sex life

http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/library-procopius/secrethistory-17.htm

but start at the beginning:
http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/library-procopius/secrethistory-1.htm

and then this:
http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/taylorgr/sxnhst/chap16.htm

We in the West may also contemplate the oncoming of a millennium of
barbarism under the new myth with the same despair and horror, for the
Christian Church is patently as incapable of revising its own dogmas in
the light of new knowledge and new needs as were the Roman authorities
The inertia of tradition is too great. Nor should we benefit if we could
exchange the tyrannies of modern dialectical materialism for those of
mediaeval ecclesiasticism. Unfortunately, the constructive solution of
restoring a charitic religion, based not on dogma but on experience, and
the redesigning of the culture in harmony with such a religion, seems
even further beyond our powers. We seem unable to escape from the
tyranny of our obsessive demands, to serve which we have created a mode
of life wherein the direct satisfaction of instinctual needs has become
increasingly difficult. Like a river flowing through an alluvial plain,
we continue to follow the course which, aeons ago, the water once carved
out - only, with the passage of the years, the original inequalities of
the channel become exaggerated, the course more and more elaborately
curved, the rate of movement slower and slower. The river does not
change: it only becomes more and more characteristically itself. In the
same way, we in the West seem incapable of finding new modes for the
expression of our fundamental needs to love and hate, to build and
destroy; we can only express them in a manner which is ever more
characteristic of what we have always done. We are ruled by the dead.

The end of illusion

When will I reach it?
I have reached it.

How old am I?
I am an old man.

Where am I? What is around me?
I am here, and around me are the fruits of my heart.

What do I taste in my mouth?
The bitterness from my weakness to be powerless. Only I need to deep
breathe and know that my weakness is my fear, unmet and lonely, in need
of my love and forgiveness.

And what else?
The anger, the despair, the grief. Is it not all from being out of
control, but expecting to be? Is it impatience? Where is it from? Just
wait and know the universe as it.

Once upon a time office christmas party

After work
Not going home
No wife
No kids
No dinner at home
No
Go out with co-workers
To nice restaurant
For dinner
(Only now hours later I remember where I left the chocolates)
Everyone eats enough
Drinks enough
Happy smiling
We go to the next place
From 8 people at incendios
4 remain for the irish heather
For standing room only in the whiskey bar
All the way to the back
Turn left, then turn right go out the door
Cross the courtyard and go in the red door
Shebeen now open tuesday to sunday from 6pm
Andy buys a round of guiness and scotch
I find seats with teck cominco hr vp jim, judy, leslie, kimberly and her
male friends leung, mike, and felix
An old fashioned and a whiskey sour each
Onward to shine
Where kimberly has us on the guest list
And hands us all drink tickets
5 for me...
After some dancing to gold digger by kanye west
And 4 rounds of shooters
We had to steamworks while kimberly and mike and felix head home...
Wrapping up it takes an hour to get a limo bring me home
Time for new clogs...

I am not crying
But it hurts
I only have so many hours
My developers only have so many hours
At the moment it is tough to meet demand
Ken is in demand but only 1
Fae needs 80 hours - confirm that - get it in writing or something - 80
or 100 for 6 wks or 8?
Sourcing supply is hard
Making money when you buy hermann says
What's hard is each one is different
Hard to prepare - except have subcontractors ready for all things
But new staff can't know all apps

1.Cms with campaign support

Why whales beach themselves

Why whales beach themselves
On the news today
Eyewitnesses are confused
Why the whales beached themselves
And continued to drive themselves further on to the beach

Officials speculate that perhaps it was a storm
Which is ridiculous
Storms are frequent, so why now?
And also why only 2?

No the answer is obvious
They die because they want to

We commit suicide by jumping off bridges
They commit suicide by jumping on the land

Review: ender's game

An old book. Reread. For what? Orson scott card's powerful mythic
storytelling?

Is it not also the story of cain and abel? The murder of one by
another?

That to murder, one must have compassion and understanding for ones
enemy, to think like they think. (On wikipedia air force strategy about
getting inside their decision making loop). And then surprising them.

And what is it all to me? Genesis. Chapter 1. Cain and abel. The oldest
profession is of course murder.

And why is that? Why is that abel the shephard was slain by his brother
the farmer? http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/cain.html

What does guns, germs and steel have to stay about the extermination
"native" peoples, or animals? That generation after generation have
fought over access to the same resources.

There is only this earth - use it for shepharding or farming, who can
raise the larger army?

And this is what has been hiding from me.
Or what I have been hiding from myself.
It is so old among all that is so new.
And it is why two thousand years later I read from a book that there is
nothing new under the sun.

I have looked.
Could I not try this to create new wealth without injury?
Could I make money this way and do no harm?

And I have failed.
A rich fisherman is as rich as the number of fish he has slain.
A rich farmer is as rich as the number of seeds he has plucked.
A euphemism for holocaust.

And so in ender's game, ender is called to face his enemy, to learn, to
win, and to win completely.

Who is my enemy?
I have not wanted enemies.
I have not wanted to fight to make my way.
But there is just this one earth.
Just this one customer.
And I want to live so it had better be mine.

That is why the social sciences do not progress like the material
sciences.

There is no moral or ethical equivalent of Moore's law, doubling our
compassion every so many years.

The imperative of millions of generations of ancestors drives us to
survive, by acquire resources as needed.

P184 we don't have to like it.

Fine I will find someone who has too much to eat.
