A New C I A Chief

We have a new C I A chief, Michael Hayden, who was apparently hand picked by John Negroponte. And John Negroponte according to Randy Rhodes is director of the newly created D N I or Department of National Intelligence. You thought we just had one agency but it seems we have about fifteen intelligence agencies in various departments. The defense department gets a lot of intelligence funding. General Michael Hayden does have an extensive military background and many civil libertarians seemed concerned about that. Michael Hayden was the one in charge of all the National Security Agency wiretaps. Head of the National Security Adminestration is one of the many, many jobs that Gen. Hayden has had in his carrerr, and it seems this man cares very little about the fourth amendment. Randy Rhodes says these people all look alike, Chaney, Bove, and Hayden and must be all from the same gene pool. Of course I have mused whether there was a “Jesus gene” because all the kids of Pastors and prominent church people seem to come out the same way. This selection of Bush is a clear indication of the direction Bush wants to lead the CIA and the country. Of course we all know that Porter Goss was forced out of the CIA after only being there a year and eight months. His job was to bring reforms to the CIA but now I guess they’ve given up on that idea.

Today is Monday May 8, 2006 and it’s been overcast all day long. The Jacaranda tree is getting its annual purple flowers. That is one messed up tree. It loses its leaves in late January and gets them again in late June. And along about this time of year it gets the purple flowers without leaves- - and sometimes it loses its purple flowers and still doesn’t get leaves. Sometimes I think we are all entertainment addicts. We watch these soap operas with people being chased by hungry wolves in church catacombs- - - and “fluffy” gets his “cat box changed” and you need one of these rent-a-dumpster to deposit the old litter. We watch these movies in theaters that get crazier all the time with their special effects. If we all became Puritans tomorrow the entertainment industry would go into a tail spin and the economy would be in shambles within the month.

Randy Rhodes is again reiterating the fact that the Defense dept. only wants “Intelligence” that supports their war aims. Once again if you have read “Plan of Attack” you know how obsessed George Bush was for years and years as far as getting into the current Iraq war. Nancy Palosi was asked yesterday where the democrats would get all the money required for their various programs. I don’t know how much money has been spent on “nation building” in Iraq, but you know it’s a lot. Bush is placing all of his eggs in one basket betting that Iraq’s democratic government will work and that when other mid-eastern governments see Iran they will have a “Larry Elder” moment and suddenly they will realize how great democracy is and all their people will overthrow their own governments and we will all live in peace, happily ever after.

Leo Le Port is talking about the sort of computer gadgets we will have in twenty years. That is, if we live that long. Bush is now playing a game of “beat the clock”. He has to “spend that political capital” on the next war, wherever it is. And you have to wonder where that next war will be. If the next war is in Iran the US will have a major problem on its hands that could last for years to come. Of course we know the Bush administration has gotten more secretive if they are taking to not allowing news conferences to be televised any more. They don’t want to be held accountable. Dennis Miller once said he was “down” with all this loss of civil liberties in this country. Some people’s view of the statement “Those who would sacrifice liberty in the name of security- - - deserve neither” line is something like this. “The biggest security problem they had during revolutionary times was the breech loading musket that couldn’t straight three hundred feet”. In this day and age when anybody could smuggle a nuclear bomb through any port and set it off anywhere- - I suppose we do need somewhat more security.


Guess What? We've got some moree albums for you. We have two more compellations. By the way if you put so many compellations in one file like this you can word search them all at once. But if you want to skip down to another section of this file, just click one of the links to the right. That's what they're for. As per the second compilation you see that's the shortened "American Version". I decided to cut this one down from three discs to two. This origional post was Monday May 8th. at 4:04 PM. Two songs have been added to "KAOS" by Guess Who and Sam the Sham. They are "add backs" because both of these songs were on the original version of this album in late Sept. 2004 but got inadvertantly dropped. There is space. OK, here we go.
