He was one of the true architects of the "Southern Strategy,"

I hope he can go to and roast in the company of his idols, like
Franco and Pinochet."

"Everybody who would rather talk about his poise and his poses,
his grace and mannerism, and the wonder that is the great
personality of William F. Buckley instead of focusing on his
role as right wing enforcer of intellectual reaction. Everyone
who praises the gestures of his "private" life instead of the
fact that he was a sup****ter of murder regimes, terrorist
dictator****ps, and deathsquad republics in every part of the
world. Pretending that he was anything but a sup****ter of mass
murder in, say, El Salvador is accepting his own public persona
as his real face."

As the sun disappeared on February 28, the French and Indians
halted a mile or two north of Deerfield and began to probe the
little town. Throughout the night, scouts crossed the frozen
Connecticut River and observed their target. A little after
midnight, one of them returned to the camp and informed his
companions that a watchman was making his rounds. A few hours
later, however, a second reconnaissance found no trace of the
watchman. The man apparently had nodded off. At about four o'
clock, the attackers approached the sleeping hamlet.
The harsh weather that had hampered their progress from New
France now became a friend to the French and Indians.
There would be much more violence to come, both in Deerfield and
elsewhere. The Deerfield Massacre was an episode in what the
colonists would collectively call the French Wars ? a series of
brutal conflicts that eventually came to be known, perhaps in an
early nod to multiculturalism, as the French and Indian Wars.

www.sptimes.com/2005/08/22/Citrus/Deputies__Citrus...
The deaths are being investigated as a murder-suicide. The
shootings occurred between 2 and 7:53 a.m. Sunday, when William
Buckley's body was found. Investigators say he was shot inside
the home, then he staggered outside, leaving a trail of blood.
He collapsed and died near the end of his driveway, a few feet
from DeSoto Street.
His body lay there until a motorist saw it and called the
Sheriff's Office, Tierney said.
The Sheriff's Office had made some visits to the home in the
past year, Tierney said. Deputies had been there to serve civil
process papers, had taken a re****t on verbal threats, made a
half-dozen security checks and, in January, investigated Mrs.
Buckley's claim that her son-in-law grabbed her by the wrist.
She said the marriage was under a lot of pressure.
"It wasn't coming from Mr. and Mrs. Buckley, but from other
external factors," she said.
Sheriff's investigators are not releasing details of how many
times William Buckley was shot or the caliber of the handgun.
The medical examiner is scheduled to perform autopsies on both
bodies today.

I do have a few quibbles with your description of the Vidal
fight, first off. Quoting Vidal is not to lionize him; my
perspective here is that of one who is very reticent to lionize
anyone, that's why I'm so curious why this man gets "the
treatment". Second, Vidal didn't call him a (I'm going to use
turtle.) turtle for no reason. When he suggested that the North
Vietnamese be allowed to determine their own future, it was
Buckley who started in with the Turtle analogies while claiming
that Vidal was begging for American soldiers to get shot. THAT's
when Vidal called him a Crypto-Turtle. On that point, I agree,
Buckley was no turtle, nor a crypto-turtle. Although, as a note,
I want to say that crypto-turtle (or it's cousin, which Vidal
later said was what he meant to call Buckley, "Crypto-Fascist")
is one hell of a name to call a person. All sorts of allusions
and sounds are mixing it up in there, and its scary, to imagine,
deep inside the founding fabric of America, hidden turtles are
lurking, advancing their menacing turtle agendas.

During the next two months, Buckley encountered a number of
Aboriginal families. Each time they treated him well, teaching
him how to fish, collect local food and understand their
language. For a while Buckley lived in a primitive hut at
Managwhawz (modern day Aireys Inlet) eating shellfish, fish,
sugar ants and wild raspberries
Eventually, Buckley forgot his birth language, and although he
managed to obtain knives, hatchets and similar objects from
****pwrecks, or by stealth from the occasional ****p at anchor, he
was quite at home living life as a "spirit". He became expert
with Aboriginal weapons- though despite this, as a revered spirit
he was banned from partaking in the many tribal wars- and wore
kangaroo skins for clothes.
On 6 July 1835 William Buckley appeared at the camp site of John
Batman's ****t Phillip Association with a party of aboriginals
who had told him about the sighting of a ****p at Indented Head.

Buckley enjoyed tossing literary references into the
conversation; a habit not always guaranteed to make friends.
Once, in answer to something I said, he injected, "As Oscar
Wilde said, 'Hypocrisy is the compliment that vice pays to
virtue." A fine and witty remark to be sure, but one you wouldn'
t be wise to depend on as your opening gag in your nightclub act.
And one I would guess he knew it might take the rest of us a
moment to fully "get." If then.
But that's not what bothered me about it. A little voice in me
whispered, "Is that Oscar Wilde?" In one of those bizarre
coincidences life tickles us with, a French friend had given me,
two days before, a volume of famous "Citations" (see tahss ee
own) by French wits. Try real hard to believe that among the
half dozen she had checkmarked as favorites was that one. Yes.
The alleged Wilde.
Language was his medium and he loved to make it roll around and
do tricks. I just now unearthed a copy of one of his books he
had inscribed to me. He was a fan of all wordplay and had
admired an unforgivable pun I had made about French painters. He
wrote:
To Richard,
in deepest gratitude for "More in Seurat than in
Ingres." May I use it?
With affection, Bill
The adjective "fabulous," through overuse, has become cheap

treated as though he had been schooled in Buchenwald, and the
idea was not widely considered, but maybe it is up now for
reconsideration."

William Buckley: The Queen Is Dead
by Mickey Weems
EDGE Contributor
Saturday Mar 8, 2008
Was William Buckley, famous right-wing pundit, a homo? I don't
know, neither do I care.
What I do know is that he got really mad at flaming liberal Gore
Vidal in 1968, so mad that he called Vidal a "queer" on national
television.
I looked at a recording of the incident to see for myself what
the ruckus was all about. Let me tell you: whatever his ***ual
orientation may have been, William Buckley talked and gestured
like a big old fag.
Vidal looked and sounded a hell of a lot more butch than
Buckletta in that debate. It's not like Vidalia was terribly
masculine herself, hence the bizarre spectacle of Sweet William
calling fabulously-Gay Gore Vidal a "queer." During Buckley's
tantrum, Vidal was smiling, perhaps enjoying the fact that
Buckley had lost his signature cool. Perhaps because Buckley
sounded like such a Nancy
Outing William Buckley
William Buckley was the faggiest conservative this side of the
Log Cabin Republicans. His opposition to Gay rights while
constantly talking like a fudge-packer is right up there with
Rush "Oxy" Limbaugh's condemnation of illegal drug users. Except
that Rush actually was doing drugs illegally, and Buckley only
sounded like a pansy, so far as we know.
Everyone talks about how Buckley brought intelligence to the
conservative movement. If intelligence were measured by elitist
vocabulary, then yes, indeed he did. In addition to speaking
fluent crypto-English, his saucy mannerisms brought a degree of
camp, one of our most powerful verbal weapons, and he used it
against us. Because he was against Gay rights, he could out-
queen any pinko-liberals and nobody would say a thing about it.
A right-wing Gay-basher, intellectual or otherwise, couldn't
possibly be crypto-homo***ual! Isn't that right, Mark Foley,
Jeff Gannon, Larry Craig, Ted Haggard, etc. etc. etc.?
Buckley's powerful combination of slick rhetorical skills,
shortsighted right-wing politics and verbal limp-wristed
swi****ng were employed to sup****t some pretty disastrous people
and policies, such as ethically-deficient Ronald Reagan, and
wave after wave of anti-Gay legislature sponsored by Buckley's
beloved Roman Catholic Church (no Gays in that organization,
nosirrreee!). Buckley also lacked sufficient moral fiber to
openly denounce his most uncouth fan, Rush Limbaugh.
Buckley as tragic
I must say this for Buckley: Rush isn't half the man that
William was. For all of his faults, Buckley wasn't stupid or so
obviously bought and paid for. For the most part, Buckley was
civil and witty, a truly noble queen.

www.canadafreepress.com/2006/thomas102506.htm
We began to meet on a regular basis. Usually Bill would turn up
with two or three staff from the embassy. The conversation was
as good as the food. One night he arrived with William Colby, a
quiet and self-contained man with the inquisitorial manner of a
foot soldier in the Society of Jesus. He asked few questions but
listened a great deal. Later Bill told me that Colby had
parachuted into German-occupied France in 1944.
As I came to know him, I realized that Bill cultivated his
little eccentricities and displayed them like badges of honour.
Yet, despite the Director's sup****t, the feeling grew in Langley
that Buckley was an "oddball", someone who had "goofed up".
Former State Department employee, Chip Beck, recalled that
within the CIA there was also a "mood that Buckley knew too much
and that he could blow away a lot of people if he was forced to
talk. A lot of agents were watching to see what the Agency would
do to get him back. There was a feeling that if Casey couldn't
rescue Buckley, then no agent was safe."
The CIA doctors suggested of Buckley: a man bowed down by
despair, suddenly aged, his face haggard, slowed up physically
and mentally, his voice monotonous and every word and movement a
fearful burden. He would feel constantly exhausted and any sleep
would leave him unrefreshed. He would become most depressed in
the small hours -- and then be at his most vulnerable, when his
ability to resist every slight pressure would be at its lowest.
The camera zoomed in and out of Buckley's **** and damaged body.
He held before his genitalia a document marked "MOST SECRET".
It was proof the burn-bag had failed.
The specialists wondered if he had put aside the normal
Christian abhorrence to suicide and overcome the memory of his
formative years when, as a devout Catholic boy, he had listened
to his priest speak of the Hell which faced those who took their
own lives. Would he remember he had been told his work permitted
suicide as the ultimate means to protect the CIA's secrets?
More certain, a number of factors had come together to settle
Buckley's fate. He understood, better than anyone, that to
survive within the Agency you had to cope with the office
politics, the battles for turf, the back-stabbing. His way of
dealing with any of that was to fight back -- hard. It had not
made him popular but then, as he used to say:
"I'm not running for Miss Langley Pageant Queen."

William Buckley has wittily said that all future presidents
should be made to take a double oath of office. They should
swear not only to uphold the Constitution of the United States
of America but also promise to read, mark, learn, and inwardly
digest Walker Percy's novel of 1971, Love in the Ruins. "It's
all there in that one book," Buckley declared, "what's happening
to us and why." Such extravagant praise is meant to echo the
extravagance of Percy's satire.
That Will Percy was a closeted homo***ual may have also
contributed to his melancholy life, which ended in exhaustion at
age 57.
Percy was losing much of his earlier enthusiasm for medicine,
and he spent a good deal of his time at Columbia visiting Uncle
Will's New York friends, many of whom were either latently or
openly homo***ual. Moreover, when other students would be
burrowing into books and labwork

John McCone was a very powerful industrialist, and one who was
part of the military-industrial complex, before he became the
head of the CIA. He later went on to become part of, I believe,
ITT. John McCone was another Knight of Malta, head of the CIA,
and participated in the Kennedy assassination by virtue of him
being its head. And he's Knight of Malta. Angelton is a Knight
of Malta. Henry Luce is a Knight of Malta. William F. Buckley is
a Knight of Malta. And William F. Buckley then ran the National
Review-and what does he do? He blames Oswald as the lone
assassin. The Black Pope: Interview of Eric Jon Phelps

According to Tom Kuncle, in his publication, John F. Kennedy, Jr.
wanted to find his father's real killers, and he had the power
to publish the conclusion. So, they took him out right away.
They would not allow that to happen.The Black Pope: Interview of
Eric Jon Phelps
The American Pope is the Cardinal of New York. He is the most
powerful Cardinal in the United States. He is what's called 'the
military vicar'. The military vicar is in command of all of the
military orders within the United States, they being the Knights
of Malta and the Knights of Columbus. He is also in command, and
privately, of 'the Commission' because Cardinal Spellman was an
intimate of Joe Kennedy, and Joe Kennedy was an intimate of
Frank Costello......And that Commission, you know what it
controls? All of the trucking, all the supermarkets, it's power
is beyond our wildest imagination, second only to the Knights of
Malta. And, of course, they all control the Federal Reserve Bank.
The Cardinal controls the Federal Reserve Bank through the
Council on Foreign Relations. The Council on Foreign Relations
belongs to the Cardinal. Spellman was not a member of it, during
his day, but two of the most powerful members were Knights of
Malta: Henry Luce and J. Peter Grace, and also William F.
Buckley, to this day. William F. Buckley is indeed one of my
enemies, because I name him, and he is a powerful multi-
billionaire who participated in the Kennedy assassination, just
like Iacocca, another Knight.

If Eisenhower was a dangerous liberal, JFK was indeed a
communist. To re-quote Buckley's earlier letter to Welch:
"If Eisenhower were what you think he is, then the elimination of
Eisenhower would be a critical step in setting things a right."
If Buckley believed that JFK was a communist, was it right to
"eliminate" him?

William F. Buckley
August 26, 2005 3:33 PM
Robertson'S Death Wishes
The principal reason to disavow the assassination of foreign
leaders is self-interest.
Now here is a key point. Sometimes rules are broken. But?it is
always wrong, when they are broken, to admit that they have been
broken. Not even Congress, let alone the Associated Press,
serves the role of confessor.
It was this rule that was most flagrantly violated by the Church
Committee in 1975.
Arthur Schlesinger captured priorities precisely, in a
memorandum written in April 1961. "When lies must be told, they
should be told by subordinate officials.
At no point should the president be asked to lend himself to the
cover operation. There seems to me merit in Secretary Rusk's
suggestion that someone other than the president make the final
decision and do so in his absence ? someone whose head can later
be placed on the block if things go terribly wrong."
One of Schlesinger's "failure options" was to put the blame on
the CIA as "errant idealists and soldiers-of-fortune working on
their own." We can safely assume that the CIA never even saw the
Robertson broadcast.

"Here I am," Percy later wrote, "a Catholic living in Louisiana,
and the man to whom I owe the greatest debt is this great
Protestant thinker." "I suppose the great bombshell for me,"
Percy also wrote, "was the famous passage of Kierkegaard

under the sun except one small detail: what it means to be a man
who lives in the world and who must die."

Let's see if I've got this right: slurring a group
of people -- hemophiliacs and rape victims included, I imagine --
while they're dying of an incurable disease is playful and
charming; yet calling a ridiculous idea tossed out by an effete
preppy hypocrite "Neanderthal" after he's died quietly in his
mansion is too soon?! Just one question, then: How long do we
have to wait after Dick Cheney dies before we can dig him up and
waterboard his charming ass?
Buckley pretty much put out as much hate-spew - vide his tattoo
the queers idea - as the average right-winger. But he used lots
of big words and quoted Disraeli a lot, so he was classy.
It's just that there is this thing called 'decorum'. You use it
sometimes (read: not on the internet) so that you don't look
like an asshole, and make people think you're a douche by
mocking the super newly dead.
As if Dick Kim had anything in common with a pretentious,
perfumed parlor s**** like Buckley...
Yet another bombast-throwing Conservative who wants different
rules applied to him than he applies to the world. Cowboy up,
armchair warriors.
Congrats to The Nation for re****ting the truth. Buckley was a
bloward, a bigot, a poseur of the highest order, nothing like a
real journalist because he wasn't a journalist, a snob, a snot,
a racist, an anti-Jew (let's face it, that's the real term to
use), ***ist, bigoted, condescending, and so far out of touch
with reality and most people, his politics went out of date
about 1958. Really. Talk about your over-rated pompous, arrogant,

But my favorite quip of Buckley's was his infamous gibe that he
would rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston
telephone directory than the 2,000 members of the Harvard
University faculty. Besides the fact that this is an insult to
self-proclaimed manly man Harvey Mansfield, one wonders what
Buckley's intellectual descendants at National Review would
think about the first 2,000 names in the 2007 Boston telephone
directory, given the magazine's obsession (390 hits) with
"Islamofascism" in recent years.
By my count, the first 2,000 names include Aakjar, Ababe, Ababu,
Abasali, Abbar, Abbas (4 names), Abbasi (5 names), Abbay, Abbaz,
and so on through Abdi (14 names), Abdiaziz, Abdille, Abdin,
Abdinur, Abdiraham, Abdirehman (3 names), until we get to
Aburubieh, Abusabib, Abusief, Abuwi, and Abu-Zahra. And that is
in the first 1,000. The second 1,000 features dozens of Ahmads
and Ahmeds. All these new names (not to mention all the Acevedos)
makes the Adamses look like a real minority.
(Worse let for the Buckleyites, many of these folks with
telephones might be?horrors of horrors?immigrants!).
A just God would be making Buckley eat every word of his racist
editorials right now, and for a very long time to come.

scrabulous_feve.html
We know exactly how popular Scrabulous is -- this is the upside
and downside of the Web. I'm sure Hasbro can tell us how many
Scrabble sets they've sold, too. But how popular is Scrabble --
I mean, how strong is its grip on the collective unconscious?
One way to answer this question is searching for the word in
Amazon's bestelling nonfiction books. After doing so for an hour
this morning, here's what I discovered:
* Conservatives dig Scrabble. In "Ike: An American Hero,"
Michael Korda's 2007 biography of the Supreme Commander of the
Allied Expeditionary Forces and later two-term (Republican)
president of the United States, we learn that in his retirement,
Dwight Eisenhower looked after a small herd of cattle, wrote
prodigiously, golfed, and "played Scrabble with Mamie on her
beloved glassed-in ****ch at Gettysburg." And in "Cancel Your Own
Goddam Subscription," a 2007 collection of National Review
editor William F. Buckley's answers to particularly odd reader
letters, Buckley (sometimes described as an "Eisenhower
conservative") at one point settles an argument between two
Scrabble players. "Whiter" is a legit adjective (even though
"white" is the absence of color), but "jader" is not, because
even though nouns like "jade" can be used as adjectives, they
"don't let themselves go into comparatives and superlatives."

Here was Buckley in the late 1950s:
"The central question that emerges... is whether the White
community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are
necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in
which it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer
is Yes--the White community is so entitled because, for the time
being, it is the advanced race. It is not easy, and it is
unpleasant, to adduce statistics evidencing the median cultural
superiority of White over Negro: but it is fact that obtrudes,
one that cannot be hidden by ever-so-busy egalitarians and
anthropologists."
------------------------------------------------------------------

Buckley continued to make extreme right-wing statements. For
example, when Viola Liuzzo, the civil rights activist from
Detroit was murdered in March 1965, Buckley argued that it was
her own fault as she "drove down a stretch of lonely road in the
dead of night, sharing the front seat with a young Negro
identified with the protesting movement".
He also led the smear campaign against Martin Luther King in the
press (based on documents leaked by J. Edgar Hoover). He urged
the repression of King and other civil rights and anti-war
protestors on "constitutional grounds". Buckley compared King to
Hitler and Lenin. He said that he wished Lenin and Hitler had
been repressed in the same way as King should be repressed.

WA****NGTON, Feb. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is a
statement by President Bush on the Passing of William F. Buckley,
Jr.:
America has lost one of its finest writers and thinkers. Bill
Buckley was one of the great founders of the modern conservative
movement. He brought conservative thought into the political
mainstream, and helped lay the intellectual foundation for
America's victory in the Cold War and for the conservative
movement that continues to this day. He will be remembered for
his principled thought and beautiful writing -- as well as his
personal warmth, wit, and generous spirit. His legacy lives on
in the ideas he championed and in the magazine he founded --
National Review.
Laura and I send our prayers to Chris Buckley, the Buckley
family, and all who loved this good man.

AS A MAN THINKETH "vex nah gat plaster fuh passion" , a more
general image and the titular piece of the show. The skull with
thorns coming out, which unwitting birds have set upon.
THE BURIAL "if dutty ah deh ah roof tap, yuh barrel ah catch am",
jones is ****trayed as a child, preaching over the burial of a
family pet. while jones is bathed in heavenly light, a klan
member (possibly his father) sits in shadows.
FEEDING PIGEONS "nah all who guh a church house ah guh fuh pray",
another general piece, this one deals with bringing food,
spiritual and otherwise, to "pigeons," a vernacular for an
unaware individual. this piece is mainly about the practice of
leading folks into religious movements with the promise of
material gain.
DEATH TREE "nah mind how pumpkin vine run, he must dry up one
day", a general image of a tree rooted in death
GUYANA****
RADIOS "bush got ears, and dutty got tongue",
RUNAWAYS "every bush a man night time", an attempt to capture
both the torrential rains in jonestown, and the overwhelming
death machine that jones had become. through drugs, paranoia,
and sometimes legitimate fear of persecution, jones has changed
into the tarantula, specifically, the guyanese bird eater
a red haired tarantula that is as big as a dinner plate and has
the ability to expel his poisonous hairs through the air to numb
an attacker before devouring it.
FATHER'S VOICE "some ****k-knockers does only clear track fuh
monkey run race", represents the constant reinforcement of jones
message through constant repetition even in the work fields.
note that his voice is now that of the tarantula, and is silver,
representing the white nights.
MEDICATION " when yuh dead yuh nah sabee, and when yah sabee yuh dead",
in the end, though, that is only 3/5 the jonestown story, ending
before the discovery, trans****tation, and ultimate burial of the
victims of tragedy

regularly at the CIA's Jonestown , Guyana group control
experiment. Survivors of Jonestown have testified as to its
effectiveness. After this gruesome experiment in mind control
came to its end with a massacre, large amounts of drugs were
discovered. Just one footlocker at Jonestown alone contained 11,
000 doses. The authorities prevented chemical autopsies of the
bodies to insure secrecy of this sophisticated concentration
camp which was used for medical and psychiatric experimentation
by the CIA. An examination of the drugs that are used in mental
hospitals to alter the minds of patients offers a clear
indication of what is being used in the Monarch Mind Control
programming.

According to its "official" history, the American Family
Foundation was launched in 1979, in response to the threat posed
by violent cults, particularly in the aftermath of the pur****ted
mass suicide by the Peoples Temple of Rev. Jim Jones, in Guyana
Executive Order 12333
The FBI brought other organizations into this off-channel
relation****p, including the William F. Buckley-centered network
of radical "Carlist" Catholics, Protestant "Christian Zionists,"
and political rightists, through such agencies as the Heritage
Foundation, the Religious Roundtable, the Council on National
Policy, and Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Committee. These
operations were no longer financed through taxpayers' money
directly. Rather, they were bankrolled by a tightly knit network
of tax-exempt foundations, led by the Richard Mellon Scaife
foundations, the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Olin
Foundation, and the Bradley Foundation. All of these tax-exempt
"charities" have more recently been associated with the Zbigniew
Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Bernard Lewis and Samuel P.
Huntington drive for a "Clash of Civilizations" between the West
and the Islamic world.
THE AFF TEAM
Although American Family Foundation promotional material
describes it as "the leading professional organization concerned
about cults and psychological manipulation," this boast hardly
squares with the fact that, throughout its 20 years of operation,
AFF's psychiatric "professionals" have been dominated by three
of the most notorious mind-controllers ever associated with MK-
ULTRA and related government secret projects in mass
psychological manipulation. This may be the ultimate case of
"the pot calling the kettle black."

William F. Buckley Jr: Head of the elite JANUS mind control
operation based at NATO headquarters in Belgium which trains
mind-controlled psychic assassins; child killer, Satanist, shape-
****fter
CIA took over
The murders of Moscone and City Supervisor Harvey Milk had all
the earmarks of mind control. Dan White, their assassin, had
been a paratrooper in the 173rd Airborne Division, in which
capacity he served in Vietnam. He was discharged from Fort Bragg
in 1967, returned to San Francisco and joined the police
department. He lived in Sausalito, drove a ****sche and generally
lived far beyond his means. In 1972 he gave it all up and took a
vacation since known as White's "missing year."
Back in San Francisco, he joined the fire department. His temper
tantrums were an embarrassment to co-workers, though his work
record was without blemish. In his run for the Board of
Supervisors, White spoke as if he was "programmed," according to
Stan Smith, a local labor leader. During Board sessions, White
was known to slip into lapses of silence punctuated by goose-
stepping walks around the chambers.
White used illegal hollow-point bullets. After Milk's body was
cremated, the ashes were enshrined at his prior direction with
bubble bath, signifying his homo***uality, and several packets
of Kool-Aid, a clue that Milk left behind, per the will he'd
revised a week before the shootings, to signify Jim Jones of the
People's Temple, a CIA mind control experiment that ended with
the destruction of 1200 subjects.
"I can be killed with ease," Milk noted in a poem written the
month he died, "I can be cut right down." In his new will, he
wrote: "Let the bullets that rip through my brain smash every
closet door in the country."
Allegations of classified federal mind control operations have
surfaced repeatedly, erupting from hidden pockets of the
"national security" underground. In 1984, Francis Fox of Coral
Gables, Florida, the owner of a prestigious bridal shop,
announced that she'd been subjected to a traumatic set of mind
control experiments by CIA and military psychiatrists.

FRANCO-AMERICAN SOCIETY,
For the development of Pennsylvania petroleum wells.
Capital, Ten Million of Francs. Twenty Thousand Shares of 500 Francs each.
The Charter may be seen at the Office of M. Lilois, N. P.
President, Count Ville-Handry.
The books for subscription will be opened on the 25th of March.
principal office, Palace of Count Ville-Handry, Rue de Varennes. branch
office, Rue Lepelletier, No. 1p.
At the foot, in small print, was a full explanation of the enormous
profits
which might be expected, the imperative necessity which had led to the
establishment of the Pennsylvania Petroleum Society, the nature of its
proposed operations, the immense services which it would render to the
world
at large, and, above all, the immense profits which would promptly accrue
to
the stockholders.
Then there came an account of petroleum or oil wells, in which it was
clearly
demonstrated that this admirable product represented, in comparison with
other oils, a saving of more than sixty per cent; that it gave a light of
matchless purity and brilliancy; that it burnt without odor; and, above
all,
that, in spite of what might have been said by interested persons, there
was
no possible danger of explosion connected with its use.
"In less than twenty years," concluded the re****t in a strain of lyric
prophecy, "petroleum will have taken the place of all the primitive and
useless illuminating mediums now employed. It will replace, in like
manner,
all the coarse and troublesome varieties of fuel of our day. In less than
twenty years the whole world will be lighted and heated by petroleum; and
the
oil-wells of Pennsylvania are inexhaustible."
The countess shook her head sadly, and replied,?
"The matter is, that your daughter, during your absence, has written a
letter
to one of my most cruel enemies, to that man who, you know, on our
wedding-
day, slandered me meanly; in fine, to the Duke of Champdoce!"
"And has any one of my servants dared to carry that letter?"
"No, my friend! It was brought to me in obedience to your orders; and the
young lady summoned me haughtily to hand her that letter."
"That letter?" cried the count. "Where is that letter?"
The countess gave it to him with these words,?
"Perhaps it would be better to throw it into the fire without reading it."
But already he had torn the envelope; and, as he was reading the first
lines,
a crimson blush overspread his temples, and his eyes became bloodshot. For
Henrietta, sure of the Duke of Champdoce, had not hesitated to open her
heart
to him, describing her situation as it really was; painting her
step-mother
as he had anticipated she would be; and at every turn certain phrases were
repeated, which were so many blows with a dagger to the count.
"This is unheard of!" he growled with a curse. "This is incomprehensible!
Such perversity has never been known before."
He went and stood before his daughter, his arms crossed, and cried with a
voice of thunder,?
"Wretch! Will you disgrace us all?"
She made no reply. Immovable like a statue, she did not tremble under the
storm. Besides, what could she do? Defend herself? She would not stoop to
do
that. Repeat the impudent avowals of the countess? What would be the use?
Did
she not know beforehand that the count would not believe her? In the
meantime,
grim Mrs. Brian had taken a seat by the side of her beloved Sarah.
"I," she said, "if I were, for my sins, afflicted with such a daughter, I
would get her a husband as soon as possible."
"I have thought of that," replied the count; "and I believe I have even
hit
upon an arrangement which"?
But, when he saw his daughter's watchful eye fixed upon him, he paused,
and,
pointing towards the door, said to her brutally, "You are in the way
here!"
Without saying a word, she went out, much less troubled by her father's
fury
than by the strange confessions which the countess had made
That is what you say," replied Henrietta.
Her haughty carriage, the disdain, rather than disgust, with which she
spoke,
could not fail to exasperate M. Elgin. He checked himself, however, and
said,
in a short and cutting tone,?
"I say so because it is so; and any one but you, possessing a less noble
ignorance of evil, would long since have discovered the truth. To what do
you
attribute Sarah's implacable enmity? To the memory of your offences on the
occasion of her wedding? Poor child! If that had been all, her
indifference
would have given you back your place months ago. Jealousy alone is capable
of
that fierce and insatiable hatred which cannot be disarmed by tears or
submission,?that hatred which time increases, instead of dimini****ng.
Between
Sarah and you, Miss Henrietta, there stands a man."
"A man?"
"Yes,- M. Daniel Champcey."
Henrietta felt as if a sharp knife had been plunged into her bosom.
"I do not understand you, sir," she said.

They Ain't Making Conservatives Like Buckley Any More...
William F. Buckley may be twisting painfully in the eternal
hellfires right about now, condemned for rejecting civil rights
in a cynical wager against his own views of liberty, but his
passing does recall a type of conservative who would gladly make
a public argument on the relative merits - and not try to merely
shout the opposition down with bully talk and cheap sloganeering.
Carrying his clipboard like a discus, Buckley slouched into the
studio glare of the Jack Paar show or reposed on the set of
David Susskind and uncoiled his cobra act, mesmerizing the
audience and his antagonists with a battery of mannerisms, his
eyes widening with a gleaming twinkle just before he went for
the kill. He was a master of the tangential counterattack, to
borrow a phrase from Manny Farber, not only removing the
stuffing and mummy wrapping from modern conservatism but
endowing it with a fizzy bonhomie

Except, that is, for a fact of political history that has
undercut every New York City mayor with higher ambitions for the
last 140 years. King Tut and Tecumseh have actually killed
people with their curses, but when it comes to political careers,
little has been more universally deadly than a stay in Gracie
Mansion.
That explains the traditionally low approval ratings of outgoing
mayors, said Roger Stone, Jr., a veteran Republican operative
who began his career volunteering for William F. Buckley's 1965
mayoral campaign. He has since played various roles in the
presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and

"Dear Mr. Buckley: You can call off the hunt for the elusive
"encephalophonic." I have it cornered in Webster's Third New
International Dictionary, where the noun "encephalophone" is
defined as "an apparatus that emits a continuous hum whose pitch
is changed by interference of brain waves transmitted through
oscillators from electrodes attached to the scalp and that is
used to diagnose abnormal brain functioning." I knew right where
to look, because you provoked my search for that word a
generation ago, when I first (and not last) encountered it in
one of your books. If it was used derisively about you, I can
only infer that the reviewer's brain was set a-humming by a) his
failure to follow your illaqueating (ensnaring) logic, b) his
dizzied awe at your manifold talents, and/or c) his inability to

4. Good Jesuit, Bad Jesuit: Buckley: Jesuit Educated
Buckley: Jesuit Educated. William F. Buckley, Leading
Conservative, Dies at 82 By Nancy Moran Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) --

------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/blackpope.htm
It's just like Freemasonry. The lower have no idea that the
High Shriner Freemasons are working for the Jesuit General.
They think that they're just doing works and being good people.
But the bottom line is that the high-level Freemasons are subject,
also, to the Jesuit General because the Jesuit General, with
Fredrick the Great, wrote the High Degrees, the last 8 Degrees,
of the Scottish Rite Freemasonry when Fredrick protected them
when they were suppressed by the Pope in 1773.
So, you have the alignment with the Jesuit Order and the most
powerful Freemason they had in the craft, Fredrick the Great,
during their suppression. That is an irrefutable conclusion. And
then, when you see the Napoleonic Wars, the French Revolution
and the Napoleonic Wars carried out by Freemasonry, everything
Napoleon did, and the Jacobins, whatever they did, completely
benefited the Jesuit Order.
Pope Ganganelli abolished the Jesuits with a Papal Bull; the
Jesuits call it a "brief". It is not a brief; it is in the
Library of the Bulls, and it is called Dominic Ac Redemptor
Nostor. That is the name of a bull. And when he abolished them,
he abolished them forever- that they were not to talk about their
abolition, that they were not to teach. He confiscated all of
their wealth and land and property. For the most part, the
Dominicans took it over, which is why the Dominicans had their
***** cut off during the French Revolution. That's what the
Jacobins did to them. It was payback by the Jesuits: "You don't
dare take our property from us, boy. And you don't dare take
Inquisition from us." Jacobins killed nearly every Dominican in
France.
The Edict of Nantes guaranteed religious freedom to all the
French. That included the Protestant, Calvinist, Huguenots,
which of course included those who would have followed
Admiral Coligny, who the Jesuits murdered with that she-wolf,
Catherine de Medici

Gallic Disruptions
By William F. Buckley Jr.
The French turmoil is explained, by many who have trained their
eyes on it, as a reaction to continued French discrimination.
And every third or fourth story cites what continues to be
thought the matrix of French political life, which is the
revolution.
There are those who hoped, hopelessly, that Charles de Gaulle
would take advantage of his historical eminence to jettison the
revolution. Not a chance. His farewell toast to the nation that
finally rejected him was, "Vive la France, Vive la Revolution"
A hundred and seventy years before, the objective was the
overthrow of the monarchy and of a ruling aristocratic class.
What would satisfy the existing revolutionaries as a cor****ate
ideal? The elimination of the automobile? If so, it being
obvious that that is never going to happen, then the
contrapositive needs to be considered: the revolution will be
endless. That is formal logic.
The French are disposed to violent protesting, as we saw in 1968.
It required the majestic authority of Charles de Gaulle to
stabilize the nation, but that year, France had the bad company
of revolutionary protests in many parts of the world
It would be just to say about the French that there is a
disposition to revolutionary activity in the Gallic gene which
does not afflict Great Britain and Germany, let alone the United
States

Buckley also had little use for the music of the counterculture,
once calling the Beatles "so unbelievably horrible, so

of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of antimusic

They then, in 1685- when the Beatles are singing about the "Sun
King" in their "white" album, they're singing about Louis XIV.
The Sun King, Louis XIV who reigned, who rules over France for,
I believe, 60 years, he, because of his Jesuit confessor, Pere
La Chaise, revokes the Edict of Nantes, and with that, no more
religious freedom in France.
And then they sent their French dragons out and beheaded and
killed every Huguenot they could find, driving 500,000 Frenchmen
out of the country
The French Revolution could never have happened had not the
Revocation of the Edict of Nantes taken place.

Good Time(ing) Bill: William F. Buckley and the Damage Done
by David Michael Green
William F. Buckley was a smart man, that's for sure.
He could throw around more ten dollar words than his beloved
Catholic church has sinners (even excluding the priesthood). He
knew all the right places to ski and the proper wines to drink
while listening to this concerto or appreciating that symphony.
A product of privilege right down to the French boarding schools
he attended, Buckley was as sophisticated, erudite and
insightful as they come
There was Ol' Bill (who actually didn't even have the excuse
then of being old), standing on the (whites only) platform,
watching the Morality Express go whoo****ng by.
But then, wasn't missing just such trains precisely the point of
conservatism?
Conservatism has ruled America for three decades now, and never
more than in the last seven years. Backward, deceitful,
polarizing, warlike, arrogant, racist, ***ist, homophobic,
xenophobic, destructive, intolerant, ignorant, lethal and
incompetent - it's just plain ugly, isn't it? Ergo - as you
might have said, Bill - Americans have awakened sufficiently
from their Buckley-induced stu**** to now join the rest of the
world in embracing this ideology about as much as they might
welcome a whopping good case of leprosy. And with roughly the
same results if they did.
Eighty-two years old, one can't help but think that smart Bill
Buckley got out while the getting was good, just months before
the election that would seal forever the fate of his destructive
little life's project.
They say he died at his desk, about to write another essay.
Maybe it was entitled "The Achievements of My Life As A
Conservative". And maybe it was sitting there staring at that
very, very blank page that killed him.

Liberty Univ. Student Arrested On Bomb Charges
LYNCHBURG, Va. (CBS) ? A Liberty University student who told a
family member he had made bombs and planned to attend the
funeral of the Rev. Jerry Falwell was apparently upset about an
anti-gay fringe group that protested at the funeral, authorities
said.
Officials were still trying to figure out what Mark David Uhl
planned to do with the bombs. Police do not believe he intended
to disrupt the funeral Tuesday or harm the Falwell family,
Campbell County Sheriff Terry Gaddy said.

Did Falwell Get It In the End?
LYNCHBURG, Virginia - Although local officials have stated
publicly that lovable evangelist Jerry Falwell died of natural
causes, anonymous sources within the Lynchburg office of Sheriff/
Coroner/Quickie Mart have indicated that an on-going, secret
investigation is looking into the possibility of foul play (or
child's play).
The source in the Lynchburg Quickie Mart refused to name any
potential suspects, but he did note that "certain animated
individuals" have not been seen since the evangelist's death.
Adding fuel to this rumor is an unconfirmed re****t that a thinly
disguised Tinky Winky of the Teletubbies was seen entering the
pineapple home of SpongeBob SquarePants.
Jerry Falwell founded the Thomas Road Baptist Curch in the mid-
1950s, but his big break came in the 1970s when he was cast as
the inept mayor in the short-lived TV sitcom "Carter Country."
Falwell himself coined his character's signature catch-phrase,
"handle it, handle it!" And TV historians and theologians now
say that "handle it, handle it!" may have been a veiled
statement about Falwell's personal distaste for homo***uals and
homo***ual behavior.

It's hard today to appreciate that before Buckley, there was no
American conservative movement.
Hell, I would appreciate it if there weren't one now. Kristol
and the rest of Buckley's eulogists dance around the reason that
Buckley called himself conservative -- he came up with a new
name to disguise the long romance between patricians and Fascism
which became -- uh -- slightly less fa****onable to express
outright after WWII
immanentize the Eschaton
In his ""What are we going to about gays?" column, Jonah
Goldberg does a dandy job explaining what "immanentize the
eschaton" to his readers:
"Immanentize the eschaton" is a hard-core conservative insider-
thing. Sort of like saying "TK-421, where are you?" to a Star
Wars freak.
...Voegelin doesn't make for easy reading, and if you can get
through The New Science of Politics you probably think I'm an
idiot and aren't reading this column anyway. One small example:
Voegelin writes, "The problem of an eidos in history, hence,
arises only when a Christian transcendental fulfillment becomes
immanentized. Such an immanentist hypostasis of the eschaton,
however, is a theoretical fallacy." Now, if you can understand
that the first time through, you probably need a tan.
Anyway, Voegelin believed that Western civilization took a wrong
turn under those damnable Gnostics. Gnostics are small furry
creatures with opposable thumbs and who tend to get into your
garbage cans. Oh, wait. Sorry. Those are raccoons (whom Cosmo
considers to be Gnostics - very long story there).
Gnostics were pre-Christian, early Christian, and various Jewish
sects who believed that if you stood on one foot while saying
the alphabet backwards, or some other silliness, you could
release your soul from material constraints while you were still
alive..."
Immanentize means to make part of the here and now. Eschaton,
like eschatology, relates to the branch of theology which deals
with humanity's destiny. You know, the end times, when all of
that wacky, end-timey, Seventh-Seal stuff happens (oceans boil,
the righteous ascend to heaven, Carrot Top is funny, etc). Hence
"immanentizing the eschaton" means, in effect, trying to make
what is reserved for the next life part of the here and now. You
can see why all sorts of cults, heretical sects, Scientologists,
and various flavors of Mother Jones readers ? including the
Fighting Illuminati ? would be accused of doing precisely that.
So why do conservatives care about all this so much? Well,
because in the 1950s and 1960s, thanks largely to William F.
Buckley's popularization of the phrase, Young Americans For
Freedom turned it into a political slogan. Pale YAFers s****ted
bumper stickers warning, "Don't Immanentize the Eschaton." I
believe buttons were made for Mr. Buckley's mayoral campaign
when he ran against that renowned eschaton immanentizer, John
Lindsay, saying the same thing.

Killers At Large
AIDS carriers and their victims.
By William F. Buckley Jr.
Murderers need to be stopped, and if this means opening their
mail, well - such things happen and you can take comfort that
you may be saving a life.
Public heath officials are considering measures which, 20 years
ago, would have been though fascistic interventions in human
rights. There is thought of infiltrating gay sites, particularly
those on the Internet. What, having identified such sites, will
they then do? Interpose a message about the danger of
unprotected ***? Collect names and email addresses, and send
individual warnings to prospective victims? Such measures are
not easily composed: "Dear Sir: You have recently kept company
with Tony Venenum. Tony has a new and dangerous strain of AIDS
and you may have contracted it. You should re****t to a doctor
and you must not engage in unprotected *** because in doing so
you may be committing murder." The boundaries of the new
campaign, let alone the niceties, haven't been resolved upon,
but not much thought is being given to concerns of privacy.
The objective is to identify the carrier, and to warn his victim.
Someone, 20 years ago, suggested a discreet tattoo the site of
which would alert the prospective partner to the danger of
proceeding as had been planned. But the author of the idea was
treated as though he had been schooled in Buchenwald, and the
idea was not widely considered, but maybe it is up now for
reconsideration.

Listening to Bill Buckley Give a Speech Was a Painful Experience
By Bill Bonner ? March 7th, 2008 ? Related Articles ? Filed Under
About the Author
A Milestone: William F. Buckley Has Died
Listening to Bill Buckley give a speech was a painful experience.
It was like watching an old cow give birth. The words came out
so slowly...and then you were inevitably disappointed. You
expected more. A man who took so long to choose his words ought
to come up with something better. But Buckley's words were
always a little slimy.
Still, the pompous tone did its job. The common, naturally-
conservative American thought he heard an angel singing...and
thought he saw something practically divine in Buckley's palaver.
He had found nobility he could bend to...a man whose looks,
wealth, and education and family rivalled the Kennedy's.
"For people of my generation, Bill Buckley was pretty much the
first intelligent, witty, well-educated conservative one saw on
television," said fellow warmonger William Kristol, editor of
the Weekly Standard, at the time the show ended. "He legitimized
conservatism as an intellectual movement and therefore as a
political movement."
This past week saw a downpour of regret at the death of William
F. Buckley. It was Buckley, it was said, who revived American
conservatism. This is something he certainly did not do. He came
not to praise traditional conservatism but to bury it. In its
place, he invented something new...or rather, it invented him.
People come to believe what they must believe when they must
believe it. When they have a modest republic, they believe in
the modest sentiments and simple creed of republican government.
When they are citizens of a great empire, on the other hand,
they come to see things differently. Always and everywhere,
someone takes the lead, expressing the new sentiments better,
more persuasively, or perhaps more memorably, than others.
William F. Buckley was born into a republic that was fast
becoming an empire. President Wilson arrived in Le Havre at the
end of WWI. He came neither as a tourist nor a businessman...
that is, not as an honest traveler. Instead, he came to sort out
the Old World's problems and brought 17 Points to help do it.
The cynical, worldly Europeans laughed at him. Even God needed
only 10 commandments, they said. Wilson was so humiliated he had
a stroke and never recovered.
To their credit, the American people were slow to put on the
imperial purple. The conservatives among them wanted to retain
the old form of government, with its limited aims and limited
means. Conservatism was a more innocent creed back then. There
was no place in it for handing out pills to old people. The idea
of trying to remake another country, half way around the world,
into an American-style democracy, would not have been scorned;
it would have been unimaginable. Back then, of course, there was
no homeland. The idea would have made no sense. Americans'
interests stopped at the Rio Grande and the 49th parallel. The
foreigners would have to take care of themselves. Even home-
grown 100% Americans were expected to look out for their own
kith and kin. "Balance the budget, protect the borders, and
otherwise leave people alone," was the extent of conservative
ambitions.
But the world wouldn't stand still. After WWI, Americans had
largely gone back to minding their own business. But then came
the Great Depression; all of a sudden bread was in demand and
activism was in style. People wanted the Roosevelt
administration to do something. It rose to the challenge...and
then some. And then came the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor
and the whole country mobilized, under government direction. To
win it.
After the war, there was no going back. America was the leading
world power. "Isolationism" became a kind of insult. A few of
the old conservatives - such as Frank Chodorov, Robert Taft and
Warren Buffett's father, a US Congressman - kept wearing their
old starched collars. But the fa****on had clearly changed. They
could vote against government spending programs...and they
opposed further military adventures abroad... but they couldn't
win national elections and they couldn't participate in the
great fun of having an empire - getting to boss people around
all over the world. There was no glory in being a conservative.
No power. No money. No style.
Then, with the Cold War, even the old die-hards went shopping
for new clothes. In their minds, it was a contest between good
and evil...freedom and communism...black and white.
Indeed, the Cold War played roughly the same roll as the War on
Terror would half a century later - it perverted the old
conservative values.
"We are again being told to be afraid," wrote Frank Chodorov.
"As it was before the two world wars so it is now; politicians
talk in frightening terms, journalists invent scare-lines, and
even next-door neighbors are taking up the cry: the enemy is at
the city gates; we must gird for battle. In case you don't know,
the enemy this time is the USSR."
Few Americans had even met a communist, but they were certain
that if they didn't go toe to toe with them in places like Korea,
Berlin and Vietnam, they'd soon be stealing the family silver in
Dubuque. The urbane, witty, charming and cosmopolitan William F.
Buckley:
The "invincible aggressiveness of the Soviet Union" imminently
threatens the United States, he said. "We have to accept Big
Government for the duration - for neither an offensive nor a
defensive war can be waged...except through the instrument of a
totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores."
And thus was the fabric laid out...cut and sewn...for America's
new conservative outfits. Now, they could fight totalitarians by
being totalitarians.
Buckley's contribution to American political life was that he
helped bring conservatives to the levers of imperial power - but
at the cost of rejecting everything im****tant they ever believed.
Henceforth, conservatives - notably George W. Bush - would be
America's most activist presidents - adding trillions to
Americans financial burdens, extending domestic programs, and
projecting U.S. military power to places Americans had not even
known existed. And henceforth, 'conservatives' would distinguish
themselves from 'liberals' principally on cultural issues - such
as whether gay couples could marry, when to pull the plug on a
coma victim, and whether it was proper for a Southern state to
use elements of the old confederate banner in its state flag.
In the early 50s, Ike Eisenhower, a conservative Republican
president of the old school, warned against letting the
"military industrial complex," get control of the nation's
agenda. But it was too late. Just as the Great Depression
brought the liberals and conservatives together on the domestic
agenda...so did the cold war bring them together on military
policy. Now, they were all Keynesians at home...and Kennedys
overseas...willing to impose any burden on their neighbors...and
force the next generation to pay any price...in order to enjoy
bread at home and military circuses abroad.
There was even some doubt about the real source of Buckley's
money and sup****t for his money-losing magazine. Rumors said it
came directly from the military industrial complex itself -
maybe via the CIA...where Buckley had been an agent. But who
would bother to look into it? Who was left to oppose the
imperial program of big spending in the 50 states...and big
spending all over the world? The empire was now a source of
power...glory too...and money - trillions of dollars worth of
government contracts and giveaway programs.
Bill Buckley merely cut conservatives into the deal.
