Ship of Fools

Renaissance men developed a delightful, yet horrible way of dealing with their mad denizens: they were put on a ship and entrusted to mariners because folly, water, and sea, as everyone then "knew," had an affinity for each other. Thus, "Ship of Fools" crisscrossed the sea and canals of Europe with their comic and pathetic cargo of souls. Some of them found pleasure and even a cure in the changing surroundings, in the isolation of being cast off, while others withdrew further, became worse, or died alone and away from their families. The cities and villages which had thus rid themselves of their crazed and crazy, could now take pleasure in watching the exciting sideshow when a ship full of foreign lunatics would dock at their harbors ~ by Jose Barchilon, m.d., of foucault's madness and civilization

On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self-control I can't rely on anymore.
New tide, surprise my world is changing.
Within this frame an ocean swells
Behind the smile I know it well.

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm
Adrift in pleasure I may drown.
I built this ship; it is my making
And further more my self-control I can't rely on anymore.

I know why
I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around,
Back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no

Who claims that no man is an island?
While I land up in jeopardy
More distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity
Draws ever-sweeter plans for me

I know why
I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around,
Back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no ship of fools

Turn this boat around,
Back to my loving ground
Oh no.

Crazy on a ship of fools
Oh, crazy on a ship of fools

Turn this boat around,
Back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no ship of fools

  2. Before I forget Id like to state that Michel Focault needs to up his Metaphysical Game. Extinct...preposterous. not because I cannot accept something like that were it true^possible. But it i smacks of Not Getting the Whole Picture. Also its another example of man having the audacity to state a damn thing about Universal Dynamics in regards to extinction of humans or anything else in space. Hoping that made sense. Puddy % had no idea about the meaning of Ship of Fools. I would like to ask your opinion on insanity. Just spent a strange and emotional two days with a friend Saea..who just hit the final tipping point in her mind she speaks a language I cannot understand...there are no connecting words....its free form keywords..words that mean something to her...she is highly delusional and unreachable. She is not on crack or meth and last night she called the police on me saying I threatened to kill her and her son. She believes this..anyway....we have to ex communicate her from our lves. Its sad....its irritating. A quandry when u have to cut someone off and its not even their fault....really..idk

  4. He Dawn, good to meet you. I feel for you. I've gone thru the whole ordeal with my 37 yr old daughter. I can't even have a conversation with her. She's seems so angry with me. She was always 'sensitive' but I never saw this coming. There's literally nothing I can do to help her so I've had to, for the sake of my own sanity, cut ties.

  5. Damn.the s*** is hard. Yes Sara was the same with her dad. Its a quandry !I feel like alot of it is out of their hands and so its just a hard decision to do that. Well they say that these paths are chosen by our higher self as tools for learning and ascension..so perhaps it is going just as it should ....

    Sigh. Well best energy to you and nice to meet you too. :)

  9. You seem to have morphed into a nearsighted daydreaming pink triangle Peter...maybe a facelift is in order, try the elevator, be sure to skip the 13th floor.

    'What, then, is this confrontation beneath the language of reason? Where can an interrogation lead us which does not follow reason in its horizontal course, but seeks to retrace in time that constant vertically which confronts European culture with what it is not, establishes its range by its own derangement? What realm do we enter which is neither the history of knowledge, nor history itself; which is controlled by neither the teleology of truth nor the rational sequence of causes, since causes have value and meaning only beyond the division? A realm, no doubt, where what is in question is the limits rather than the identity of a culture.'

  10. "In our era, the experience of madness remains silent in the composure of a knowledge which knowing too much about madness, forgets it.

    But from one of these experiences to the other, the shift has been made by a world without images, without positive character, in a kind of silent transparency which reveals— as mute institution, act without commentary, immediate knowledge—a great motionless structure; this structure is one of neither drama nor knowledge; it is the point where history is immobilized in the tragic category which both establishes and impugns it."~Foucault

  12. Edward Snowden departs Hong Kong on flight to Moscow June 23, 2013
    Source: Salon

    The NSA whistle-blower is bound for a "democratic nation via a safe route," according to a statement from WikiLeaks.

    The Hong Kong government confirmed Sunday that NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden has departed the territory for a “third country.” WikiLeaks issued a statementon Sunday saying Snowden is bound for a “democratic nation via a safe route for the purposes of asylum, and is being escorted by diplomats and legal advisors from WikiLeaks.”

    According to a report from a reservations agent at the Russian airline Aeroflot, Snowden is on his way to Moscow, though it appears the capital city may just be a temporary stop en route to his final destination, as the New York Times reports:

    The Russian foreign ministry said that Mr. Snowden appeared to be making a connection in Moscow to another destination, but did not say where.

    The topic of Fascism is intimately tied to the larger topic of Despotic Statism – of which fascism is simply one manifestation {the Right Hegelian side}
    Historically it is the ‘left behind’ Anglophile networks of the closet Tories that are concerned with the eventual return of the lost colonies that became the United States with the Declaration and ensuing War for independence from Briton. That is the Anglophile part of the equation.
    The Balfour Declaration and the intrigue that accompanied that reveal the other side of the equation = the Anglo-Zionist angle.
    If we are sincerely concerned with returning to a state of Liberty in the US, such issues of what the dangers of fascism really are: that being Tyranny – I would say in my humble opinion, that the topic of “Fascism” has a deeper overall aspect that needs attendance.

  27. Insanity is the unstructured mind, the vast se(e/a) of unrestricted thought. To answer your question is to take the linguistic and epistemology for terms and then the rules of science.

    Until that groundwork is laid, the discussion or explanation are insane in themselves.

    The French have a great handle on this. I am not promoting Foucault but trying to lay a groundwork of what historical concepts will be used as we are forced to depart our zeropoint destination in a voyage into (for a better word) madness, which in my study is perfectly rational.

    As to your situation with your friend Saea, it is something I think you have experienced before. Peter has and I have assumed from knowing William, he has also encountered it in his ex-positions.

    What may manifest in degrees of this sea of madness, folly or insanity is a structure or coordinate ( a rule or compass) that takes a normal life form on an unstructured voyage and chart some trajectory for a irrational, illogical path.

    I have some psychology education, but miniscule science for this kind of pathology other than the usual assaults on us normal insane and (mad) folks that leads them into psychotic or termed schizophrenic delusions.

    Foucault and hosts of [structuralists] would have us believe or accept what we can only obtain by neurosis or regression or some form of arrested development, Whereas I think insanity occurs in the course of which the personality undergoes both dissolution of structure and reorganization of ego in Freudian terms.

    Ultimately it's a gangstalking, a targeting , fear and loathing that takes a normal mad person to a terrorist or psychotic state and usually derived through the channels of the technocracy in some form or manner and sometimes it's a rational sane effort with an objective. In your situation you must determine which.

    I practice this with every lunatic in government. Some get my sympathy while others get my sociopath label for to be in government is insanity by it's very nature.


    I think the clash of ego and soul is where the icebergs float.



    _________

    I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people .- Desiderius Erasmus

  34. Fed Up with All the Bullshit
    by Arthur Silber.

    http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/fed-up-with-all-bullshit.html

    In the final section of the preceding post (the section subtitled "The Filtering of the NSA/Surveillance Stories"), I discussed the manner in which the journalists to whom Edward Snowden provided documents chose to continue to conceal much of the information he had given them. I emphasized that the explanations provided to the general public are notably threadbare, and filled with familiar, vacuous phrases. One of the links I included itself links to another article. It is worth noting the fuller version of some comments from Glenn Greenwald in the BuzzFeed piece:
    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    “We’re not engaged in a mindless, indiscriminate document dump, and our source didn’t want us to be,” said Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian writer, in an email to BuzzFeed Saturday. “We’re engaged in the standard journalistic assessment of whether the public value to publication outweighs any harms."

    “I’m sure the Guardian has consulted lawyers about all of this, but as far as I know, none of the decisions have been legal, only journal[istic],” Greenwald said. He tweeted earlier on Saturday that the Guardian would not be publishing one of the full unredacted PowerPoint slides related to the PRISM datamining program, because “it contains very specific technical NSA means for collection - we’d probably be prosecuted if we did."

    “We’re applying the standard judgment test that journalists apply every day: first, is it newsworthy and relevant, ie, is there public interest in knowing this?” Greenwald told BuzzFeed. “If so: is there genuine harm that comes from publication? And if there is harm, does the public value outweigh/justify the harm?"
    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    http://powerofnarrative.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/fed-up-with-all-bullshit.html

    I am sure that COTO is lucid enough to filter out the bullshit in Greenwald's apologia, that is the whole thing is cowardly bullshit -- the people deserve the raw facts - fuck the lawyers, fuck the fear of prosecution, fuck the backlash, LET'S JUST HAVE THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

  35. I agree about Page and Bonham. If you investigate the tale of Commander of the Most Excellent Order, Mr. Plant you may see the process and some interesting observable transitions in the Larger Mind Control system which originated from the middle ages through the crown and masonry of the British Empire through Tavistock and spread throughout the world under he octopus. Plant has an open, very viewable and publicly accessible bio/dossier as others we have hashed about in the celeb realm and MK in holyrood and other art mediums and frequencies.

  38. The intelligence-security industry isn’t about protecting the United States or you, except for extraordinarily rare, virtually accidental occurrences. It’s about wealth and power. Yet every politician and every government functionary speaks reverently of the sacred mission and crucial importance of “intelligence” in the manner of a syphilitic preacher who clutches a tatty, moth-eaten doll of the Madonna, which he digitally manipulates by sticking his fingers in its orifices. Most people would find his behavior shockingly obscene, if they noticed it. But they don’t notice it, so mesmerized are they by the preacher with his phonily awestruck words about the holy of holies and the ungraspably noble purpose of his mission. Even as the suppurating sores on the preacher’s face ooze blood and pus, his audience can only gasp, “We must pay attention to what he says! He wants only the best for us! He’s trying to save us!”~Silber

  48. Nikki, and all,

    Foucault isn't really concerned here - or in the book that is, about defining "Madness"...what he is writing about is the ways in which societies, and by that we always mean the elites driving the societies; what their use of the those they fingered as "Mad" resulted in.
    In this aspect Foucault describes that 'use' as creating the systems of CONFINEMENT, which were in earlier ages used to deal with lepers.

    As "Terrorism" replaces "Communism" as the core enemy of our current paradigm, so the "Insane" replaces the "Leper" in these ancient paradigms.

    So this issue for Foucault is not so much 'what' is "insanity", as that issue is a lingual/conceptual vagueness as wispy as what is a "terrorist" or what was a "communist" [in the fifties].

    Foucault's philosophy has always been concerned with the issue of "Punishment" and how that is doled out in societies throughout the ages, and how it is generally unhinged from the actual "Crime" it is supposed to deal with...and used as a tool of power by those who maintain systems of control.

  49. "Given the unrelieved fraud that is "intelligence," and in light of the conclusively and repeatedly proven inability to trust any part of the Establishment to "filter" any of this or any other material whatsoever, including "raw data," I view it as a complete and shining triumph for Wikileaks and other organizations to release as much information, and as much "raw data," as they can get their hands on. Wikileaks thus increases what is in the public record, and thereby provides more information on the basis of which you can make your own judgment. We -- by which I mean you, me and everyone else -- certainly can't do any worse than the politicians and "experts" in trying to make sense of it. Moreover, I consider it much more likely that we will do a significantly better job. And even if we don't, we aren't the ones who will be ordering bombing runs, assassinations, or invasions.

    The broader point remains the most critical one. By acting as it does, Wikileaks entirely bypasses the structures of authority, "order" and obedience. By stepping outside them altogether, Wikileaks diminishes their power -- and transfers that power to all of us. Just think about what would happen if ten or twenty organizations did this many times a week, releasing "secret" and "confidential" information closely guarded by governments, multinational corporations, and others who exploit, brutalize and act in innumerable destructive and cruel ways. The world as it exists today would be severely threatened as people began to see the details of what is actually transpiring.

    And many people -- many of those "ordinary" human beings across the world who today are entirely disregarded and only brutalized, and who "merely" provide the labor and often the blood that sustains the power structure that rules us -- would make sense of it. At a minimum, they would make sense of it in ways that the prevailing powers ceaselessly try to obfuscate and cover up. A lot of "ordinary" people would begin to see a fuller version of the truth.

    That's exactly what States and those who rule and enable them are afraid of. That's why they condemn Wikileaks with such vehemence, in a manner that frequently verges on hysteria. The ruling class understands very well indeed the threat that Wikileaks represents, and what would happen if additional organizations utilized the same strategy. If you want to understand the threat embodied by Wikileaks, do what I suggest: multiply Wikileaks by ten, or a hundred. The ruling class sees that possibility with startling and unnerving clarity. Why do you think they're scared shitless?

    And they are."~Arthur Silber

  56. Yes, he does speak to that as well, how madness has been defined throughout the ages. But we do not land on any settled definition...
    And this is because it really is such a individual thing in each case, and the generalities are like all generalities, where everyone is unique, even in their madness. Which gets to that universal truth yet again: Like is not.

    We are all "a bit mad" - but some can fly over the cuckoo’s nest.

  59. Foucault's idea that illness is culturally relative, seems to me to hover in the spirit of the subtext of MADNESS AND CIVILIZATION.

    We might recall that epilepsy with it's 'seizures' - the word derived from the Caesars, whom it seems carried the disease as a genetic trait - was viewed as a "chat with the gods" at that time, and seen as a sign of divinity.

    In the postmodern world untreated epilepsy is a social curse, which frightens terribly those who witness such seizures.

    Many native Americans saw various forms of insanity as a sacred sign.

    I am of the opinion that 'Psychiatry' is a modern form of Voodoo, and not a 'science' at all, more of a con-job by control freaks. That is not to deny that some/many people lead tortured mental lives, but to say that the "treatments" are often as bad or worse than the initial maladies being suffered.

    This is of course my personal point of view, which I cannot project on Foucault. However I see some of this reflected in his thinking.

  61. I wonder what happened to Snowden. The flight supposedly carrying him to Cuba - a slight of hand in itself - has landed with no sign of him having been aboard.

    [???]

    Many possibilities arise with this...not all of them good.

    I guess we will have to wait until he surfaces again.

  63. I saw Plant a few years ago when he was touring w/Alison Krauss...and damn if that girl didn't steal the show. Summer night, outside (Merriweather Post Pavillion, couple miles from my house in MD)....when she went after some of those old traditional Appalachian Mountain quasi religious/country angelic numbers....it was spooky good....u know people use the cliché that hairs on the back of their neck stood up or whatever.....i'm a fairly hairy rascal and I mean every fucking follicle was a twitchin an a quiverin.... only word that can really do it justice is otherworldy

    what a package! drop dead gorgeous, voice like all the Sirens of heaven rolled into one and can just flat out tear the fiddle up!!!!
    If u haven't heard her with her band Union Station....I rec it...if u sometimes need a little, not so much "country" , but just good musicians playing what I like to call Americana. Here she is with Bobby P

    I totally agree with this Will. Psychiatrists don't cure mental illness. They perform the same service a good friend would by being a good "listener"..albeit a highly paid one at that. They also dispense zombifying medication that can ultimately make you even more mad. Of course, the right (or wrong) kind of friend could perform the same service....

  68. Nice duet with Robert and Alison. He sounds so good when he's not doing that old school whiney, screamy thing . But that's just me. Couldn't really tell how good Alison is though.

    CR can you recommend a song for me to listen to of hers? She even has an angelic look about her.

    Here's the song that gives me the reaction you're talking about.. has to be the Jeff Buckley version though... wish I knew what the hell the lyrics meant............it's especially ethereal sounding knowing he died from drowning at the age of 31...

  70. Yes, eow, I have contemplated this. What moves us more than music? Of course, "they" would take advantage of such a market.

    The music industry is full of "artists" that have sold their souls to propagate just such an agenda. I don't think all have but it seems the ones that have are most obvious by their style of music and what they actually say in their own words in interviews and such. They actually use the term...sold my soul...sheesh. No matter how you cut it, selling out is NEVER a good thing.

  71. eyesopenwider,

    Upon reading of Snowden not being on the Cuba plane, I had visions of the last part of THE GOOD SHEPHERD -- if you saw that movie.

  74. I loved Pink Floyd too, just in a different way. It isn't either or to me, I have a vast range of musical likes. I liked the Beatles and the Stones at the same time - even though a lot of people were choosing "sides" on that issue.
    I always thought Black Sabbath was no better than your average garage band. I really don't like The Grateful Dead at all...

    Music is one of those things where there is just no accounting for taste. I hate onions, and liver....what can I say?

  75. I really loved THE GOOD SHEPHERD....

    I watched it four times in a row when I first got the DVD.

    'Edward' plays that part of who in real life was James Jesus Angleton,
    [Mother] Angleton was the spook's spook, a real paranoid nut job but serine, played more subtle in the film.

    It is amazing as an "art film" almost a sense of Antonioni in it's surreal complexity of flashbacks and pacing.

    I highly recommend it...but then again, I like Led Zeppelin...huh.

  90. James Corbett talks to Press TV about the Snowden manhunt and how it is detracting from both the content of the documents that he leaked and the fact that another NSA whistleblower, Russ Tice, has stepped forward with startling new revelations about NSA wiretapping. According to Tice, the NSA has targeted the entire Supreme Court, major military figures including General David Petraeus, the Congressional leadership of both the Democrats and Republicans, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and even former Illinois Senator Barack Obama in a hitherto undisclosed revelation about NSA eavesdropping.

  94. Thumbs up on Roger too EOW. Thumbs up on the good shepard for noting the Yale Follies and cross dressing. As we know they did not cover the sodomy angle but you could imply.

    RE: Snowden, the obvious reason he leaked the Russian and China spying was to insure these states did not rush to judgement and pressure from the west. At least that's the 'cover' imo.

    But I still see it as a psyop to deter real whistleblowers like Hastings.

  95. The knowledge of the brain is in it's infancy in the medical sheeple world. What the shadow group know is eons ahead of mainstream psychiatric gatekeepers. The DSM is just another history of lies and fabrication.

    Some homeless people may be talking to someone we would like to talk to. As some have theorized and some research shows, the targeted invidual can be managed by tuning to their specific frequency which we know we all have. Our individual uniqueness is not just limited to genetic code but also the EM frequencies in our personal cellular makeup. This brain, this soul, a mind and matter was an incredible feature, courtesy of the creator.

    We can never know the purpose and properties of these so called afflictions until experienced. Why we dont see like the eyes of eagles and smell like the nose of dogs, etc. is because we have senses they don't. Pineal receivers and spinal coccyx dipole antenna, who knows coto?

  97. Can you take this and garner some connection between both your observations. As they are both spot on, a panoptic and confinement within a Papillon environment.

    Louis Dega submitted to the panoptic Devils Island while Henri Papillon faced jumping to his death on a life raft to the currents of the atlantic.
    Dega had his trinkets from the authorities. A pig, a small hut and garden and his madness, while Papillon took coconuts and leaped over the edge. WHO WAS MAD? Therefore the butterfly had to be controlled and so goes the Monarch Program [MK]

    It is by these ships we are transitioned by means over the sees of the committee. "because folly, water, and sea, as everyone then “knew,” had an affinity for each other."

  103. But literally ANYTHING becomes a psyop once it hits the mainstream news.

    In my view the psyop isn't Snowden or his revelations, it is the circus now built around and on top of that.

    What's lost in the screech? The fact that this is a panoptic surveillance state.

  104. There is an online petition to Obambam to 'pardon' Snowden.

    Why should we beg for a 'Pardon' from the real criminal when Snowden has committed no crime?

    As Sibel Edmonds points out, such action simply 'legitimizes' the system...the same is true of 'voting', it just gives a sense of legitimacy to the crook voted into office.

    Working within the system is always to step in a pile of bullshit.

  105. Maybe EOW meant "weaponized" -- which would be what JG seems to be suggesting in her comment.

    There is 'Militarized' music...it is marching songs and such. Rock music is much too differentiated and abstract in beat to be 'marching songs', other than in certain satires of.

    We strip artists of a lot of the power of their dignity when we claim they are ALL directed by the devil.

    Sure I understand what commercialization has done to music--to EVERYTHING, but the sincerity in art can be parsed in the pudding...and it still exists, will always exist.

    There is no such thing as perfect control.

  106. Deb, the first song that came to mind of hers is "Oh. Atlanta" because it is a cover from one of my favorites Little Feat. I assume most of her stuff is on UTube. She's about 40 and been recording since a teenager and holds the record for most Grammys. Full Disclosure: I wouldn't really call myself a huge fan and would not be familiar at all if it weren't for Lisa......not sure what your hankering for bluegrass-wise (up tempo, gospelish etc.) She was featured on soundtrack to "oh Brother where art thou?" and "Cold Mountain"

    Wish I knew exactly the songs I saw her do live....could probably investigate...the ones that left such a lasting impression were slower, on the spiritual side....very little to no instrumentation (Robert was on break) her voice was etherealy haunting, gave the goose bumps on my soul goose bumps and I remember glancing around and could tell, EVERYONE was just blown away. None of the usual side conversations, blankets full of frozen in place folks, just stunned into awestruck silence and immobility. Drinks were left undrunk, munchies unmunched...forgive the hyperbole, but it was like that

  133. "RT: The US is focused on chasing Snowden, which seems to have distracted from his revelations – is anyone in the States asking whether the surveillance system prism was constitutional?

    Chris Hedges: Some people are, but not many, which is quite distressing. You have Glenn Greenwald, the journalist from The Guardian who broke the story. You have lawyers Michael Ratner from the Center of the Constitutional Rights asking those kinds of questions, but I think that for those of us who care about freedom of information, about protecting sources, about stopping wholesale government surveillance, I think it’s been a very lonely time. And I think one of the things that’s been so distressing is that the serious questions that should be asked are not being asked.

    RT: Does that play into the hands of the government and what Washington would like to keep secret?

    CH: Well they can’t keep it a secret anymore, it’s exposed. But I think what they have done is divert attention to that kind of a mini-soap opera that is now taking place, as Snowden leaps from Hong Kong to Moscow, to ostensibly Cuba, Ecuador. They knew we saw the same thing happening to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, to Bradley Manning, who exposed war crimes and is now on trial in military court in Maryland. It’s a very similar and oppressing kind of scenario, where the state propaganda machine has quite effectively diverted attention away from where it should be, which is the effect that there is no more privacy anymore left in the United States, and focused attention on character, on activities of Snowden. Through their lens, it’s not a dispassionate view of either Snowden or what he’s done."

  134. A nazi premise of super race of people sent to space to live while Draq (the psychopath ) released a bioweapon derived from the specific orchid back to earth. The virus made and manufactured in Italy points to the Club of Rome Vatican Assassins.

    Adding the Titan Supercomputer and new super focus pixel surveillance, the whole operation can be conducted and recorded from the ISS.

    We know that the shuttle missions of NASA consisted of DoD UN Nato military operations and purposes. 20 of the first forty were completely for military operations and classified today. What payloads and technologies went to space are up for consideration.

    Earthraker is an artificial Intel op to run all surveillance, data mining, war ops, weather modification and command in case of terra based system failure.

    Global security can confirm the info.

    Should the Worse Case Scenario occur, the program will assume command via this master algorithm contingency free from human programming or execution.

  137. Obama Backs First-Strike Nuclear War as U.S. Policy

    By Francis A. Boyle

    June 24, 2013 "Information Clearing House - I have now had the chance to read Obama’s Report on Nuclear Employment Strategy of the United States, that just came out on Friday, June 21, 2013. The critical passage can be found on page 5:

    “The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review established the Administration’s goal to set conditions that would allow the United States to safely adopt a policy of making deterrence of nuclear attack the sole purpose of U.S. nuclear weapons. Although we cannot adopt such a policy today, the new guidance re-iterates the intention to work towards that goal over time.”

    In other words, “nuclear deterrence” is not now and has not been the policy of the Obama administration going back to and including their 2010 Nuclear Posture Review as well. Since “nuclear deterrence” is not now and has never been the Obama administration’s nuclear weapons policy from the get-go, then by default this means that offensive first-strike strategic nuclear war fighting is now and has always been the Obama administration’s nuclear weapons policy. This policy will also be pursued and augmented by means of “integrated non-nuclear strike options.” Id.

    Therefore the entire 2013 NPR and Obama’s recent nuclear arms “reduction” proposals must be understood within this context of the United States pursuing an offensive, strategic first-strike nuclear war-fighting capability as augmented by non-nuclear strike forces.

  142. Hey...changed my mind..decided that writing about Obama being man-made would ruffle to many feathers to be useful. Ive decided on something else entirely. Will submit the Obama piece after awhile. Perhaps.
