Seems Rummy and his friends think they're the only ones entitled to do that.
He lies awake at night fretting over the enemy's clever manipulation of media--not because of the body count in Iraq, aka the notches on his gun. So that must be the point--about 3 am--when Rummy turns to impunity and says, remind me to call Karen Hughes about that medal she's expecting.
"The enemy" good at media manipulation--is he referring to the jihadist kind, or to the bleeding-heart liberal bloggers? Those who expect and demand truth from their governments--those bloggers? The ones who are vastly disappointed in the 'watchdog press' that Rummy apparently let out with the cat around 3 am?
Rumsfeld apparently doesn't know that I, for one, hold him and his 1% gang responsible for taking us to war with spin instead of truth--at a time when we needed upright actions and integrity, we got this crew of crime bosses, energy barons, dice rollers, and propagandists.
He doesn't sleep at night...for all the wrong reasons.

This from LegitGov:
WHEN IN DOUBT, ATTACK THE MEDIA: The other aspect of the latest push is to attack media coverage. The coverage isn't negative because things are going badly, it's because the press is being duped by terrorists. On Monday, Donald Rumsfeld said "he is deeply troubled by the success of terrorist groups in 'manipulating the media' to influence Westerners." Rumsfeld has a new strategy to get more positive coverage: buy it. The Department of Defense is "put out for bid a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for extensive monitoring of U.S. and Middle Eastern media in an effort to promote more positive coverage of news from Iraq." According to a public relations professional, "They want it [news] to be received by audiences as it is transmitted [by them], but they don't like how it turns out. "The 12-18 person team would monitor the news and "propose four to eight public relations events per month, such as speeches or news conferences, including 'preparation of likely questions and suggested answers, themes and messages as well as background, talking points.'"

>How about an Iranian blog written by a Zoroastrian Astrologer? Ali Mostofi's Iranian Opposition wants to establish a common platform for all Iranians in opposition. "Everyone can have his angle and opinion in Iran." And, "Ahmadinejad cares not for money with South Node in Taurus...he is driven purely by dogma."

Thursday UPDATE on UPDATE: Scroll to August 27 post for an UPDATE on the Comair crash...lack of sleep seems to be pulling ahead.
7:00 pm UPDATE: from LegitGov.org:
NSA Mobilizes Against Leaks 30 Aug 2006 The National Security Agency has instructed all of its employees to "actively" watch for unauthorized disclosures of classified information in the press and online, and to report such disclosures to the authorities.
Senate moves to give Bush more power to wiretap 29 Aug 2006 A bill that expands President Bush's ability to wiretap American phones and conduct other forms of domestic surveillance will likely appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee next Thursday, RAW STORY has learned.
and
Bush White House said subpoenaed by wiretap lawyers 29 Aug 2006 Two attorneys representing claimants in a lawsuit over wiretapping by the National Security Agency claim that they have sent subpoenas to the White House today, RAW STORY has learned.
Raw Story
Here's my earlier post of today:
Mr. Bush recently has increasingly emphasized that if the U.S. withdraws from Iraq, the "enemy will follow us home," as he said at a fund-raiser for former football star Lynn Swann's Pennsylvania gubernatorial campaign.
Yet the greatest enemy in our measly 230-year history is already among us and occupying the White House and the Pentagon. We could've turned the puppy away a few years ago--beginning with Jimmy Carter's residency, but we didn't--we had no clue what was on their agenda.
Now we have a flea-infested kennel of rottweilers bedeviling us.
The rottweiliers are playing poker with our lives and futures while Iran plays chess. Rummy is disturbed at how smart the enemy is and I'm disturbed at how dumb he and his fellow litter mates are. Hubris has its own particular streak of stupidity, it seems. With their "regime change" mantra, they pretend not to notice that it is their regime which needs changing most. "New fascism" is the same old same old, Rummy, and you should know.
Then there's greedy imperialism from our robber barons being revealed in Bloomberg.com 's article, "Oil Company CEO Pay Averaged $32.7 Million in 2005, Study Says"...does that make you want to buy another SUV? I think not.
Ah, November--how I wish it would make a difference. Find a non-professional politician to vote for if you can, and insist upon term limits, would be my best advice for America--and check the membership roster of the Trilateral Commission before you vote--if you don't, it'll be new boss same as the old. From Carter to Clinton to to Pappy Bush to Volcker and Cheney to Gore--they wear different masks, but have the same masters...including some of our CEOs and media muckity mucks.
Talk about being sold out--the scale is so mindboggling (and long-in-planning) that average citizens prefer to ignore it--and their own complicity points the leash at their muzzles, fleas and all.
8.30.06 2:22 pm
On TV now: Alabama Pastor Dwayne Blue was arrested for praying too loud at a revival. This news from the "700 Club"--funny how Robertson puts this bit on his program without mentioning that it's the Bush police state doing the arresting.
And don't fret--I turned on the tv and it was on the channel for this program--it's like listening to Rush in my car--the signal only picks up there so I spy and marvel at his techniques while driving!

our high rollers roll on
Just to be sure you haven't missed this sparkling list of Senate millionaires who are against increasing the minimum wage, here's the list from Think Progress complete with goofy mugshots.

UPDATE of sorts: Be sure to familiarize yourself with The Security and Prosperity Partnership Places One's Life Savings at Great Risk by Jan Allen.
Allen's article is, however, on a GOLD promoting site.
But is this "Progress Report" on such a site, too? The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America: Progress--with regards from the White House .

smoke plume and ball of flames
Thurs UPDATE: Comair is offering grieving families who lost a loved one in Sunday's crash $25,000--cheap at the price, but some families may sue. Would you? Feds Say Air Controller Slept 2 Hours so that would just about cover it, right?
Tuesday UPDATE: Surviving pilot, James Polehinke is still in critical condition with a broken pelvis and punctured lungs. There are questions waiting to be answered about his wrong turn to an unlighted runway...odd because this Surviving Pilot Had Clean Flying Record .
UPDATE 8.28: As the misery in Kentucky continues, Cause of Deadly Comair Crash Probed and it seems that yesterday's "Intoxicated birds fly around in dizzying attempts" comment--see below--sadly applies.
And on another note--or is it?--this heads-up from Certified AstroCartographer Jerolyn Janssen sending SO'W a link concerning the mysterious suicides connected to US spy-by-cell-phone monkey business and the 26 CIA agents, Egyptian cleric Abu Omar, and other tacky meddlings of our great nation at dailykos .
Thanks, Jerolyn!
From Sunday 8.27:
On tv they've just reported that Flight 5191 took off from the "wrong runway."
Daytime, light rain, no lightening (they couldn't blame lightening), and experienced pilots...duh and puh.
Pilot-wise, the squirrelliest thing in the chart for a couple minutes before the crash (6:07 am) is the "Intoxicated birds fly around in dizzying attempts" degree rising...which could indicate the pilots' confusion at what transpired just after take-off rather than anyone's alchol or drug use. But we'll see what they say about that as the story plays out.
The current Venus-Saturn conjunction (17-18 leo) was rising, btw. 18 Leo was Venus' position on 9/11/01, and is the Sun-Moon degree of the 'Mother of All Eclipses' of August 11, 1999--when the world's real troubles began...and you remember that Nostradamus titled this eclipse the "King of Terror" Eclipse about five hundred years ago. (There may be a connection to his prediction on this solar eclipse and to financial disruptions due to the translation of the ancient French.)
So Venus triggered the 8/11/99 Eclipse degree and set it off on 9/11/01. This degree is forever sensitized by this powerful Eclipse and will be transited by Saturn in the first half of September upcoming--and Saturn is, in fact, within orb of this degree--now.
17-18 Leo happens to be the natal Ascendant for Iran and for Syria's national charts, and is resonating mightily with Bush's natal chart as Saturn continues bowling through his First House planets...and Neptune is sojourning opposite Saturn at the Unmasking Degree ("A man unmasked") sitting upon Bush's n Descendant of Other People/Partnerships/the Public/Open Enemies. He's seeing them in a murky fashion, as many people noticed when he invaded Iraq...the so-called "Cakewalk."
After studying this morning's chart for Lexington, KY--along with certain other charts--I must admit that their "wrong runway" explanation is a surprise. And how quickly they pronounce it--after saying they would wait for more investigation.
A loud explosion, plane crashes, and bursts into a ball of flames...someone let me know if you hear the names from the passenger list...Saturn in Leo = loss, restriction, or control of leaders (Leo.)
It should be 50 - 3 crew = 47 - 1 pilot onboard, so 46 names, unless I've counted incorrectly. Or will the total be morphed into 45 or less as a name or names are not divulged?
Seems to me they've been slick at putting out the "wrong/short runway" theory early--this morning there was an able 'set-up' by Comair's president and it was promoted enthusiastically by tv reporters--now it's been "confirmed"...unless that story changes, too.
Chart-wise, it looks as if Someone sent Someone a message this morning with the crash of Flight 5191, if my worst intuitions about the chart's indications are correct. Pilot error would be preferrable--if anything could be--to what I'm thinking, I assure you.
And as I've written before in a heartfelt manner on this blog--sometimes you just want to be wrong.
