  1. Pakistan's Noriegas: An open letter to US Congressmen/women
    
    (Embassy of India)
  2. If one goes purely by economic indicators, Pakistan's economy must be in as bad a shape as that of Russia, or even worse, since Russia has been in receipt of Western and IMF assistance, whereas Pakistan has not been, but (a big and intriguing BUT here, distinguished members of the Congress), the State of Pakistan has been managing to pay all salaries and pensions and the private sector all wages, without defaulting even once.Where does the money come from? From the smuggling of heroin to West Europe, the US and Canada. The US Government might have stopped economic assistance to the worse than rogue State of Pakistan from the tax payers' money, but why should the Noriegas of Pakistan be worried over it when they get billions of dollars from the heroin sale in the US. For every American boy and girl ruined and killed due to his or her addiction to heroin, there is a Pakistani General fattening his Swiss bank account.
    
    Repeat after BoyCaught: follow the money. (note: you'll need to scroll down a few screens to find the start of this open letter)

  1. Osama bin Laden's Bush family Business Connections
    
    (The Konformist)
  2. "We should revisit the history of BCCI, a bank used by the legendary Palestinian terrorist known as Abu Nidal. BCCI was closely tied to American and Pakistan intelligence. Its clients included the Afghan rebels, and the father of Osama bin Laden. The father of bin Laden named Houston investment broker James R. Bath as his business representative in Texas, right after George W. Bush's father became CIA director in 1976. By 1977, Bath invested $50,000 into junior's first business, Arbusto Energy, while Osama bin Laden would soon become a CIA asset. George W. Bush's FBI director Robert Mueller was part of the Justice Department's questionable investigation of BCCI. (On BCCI, the bin Ladens, and the Bushes, see the books, The Outlaw Bank, A Full Service Bank, and Fortunate Son)."
    
    Follow the money. Follow the money. Follow the money, and you may find things that you don't want to believe. That you refuse to believe. That seem like they're right out of the "movies." Problem is, movies have to make some sense.

Under no circumstances should those responsible for the brutal attacks against the American people be allowed to go unpunished, if they can be identified. An honorable condition for every country would be that they are tried by an unbiased court of law that would ensure the reliability of the evidence and that justice be done."

  1. Remember Florida? News Organizations Delay Reporting on Meticulous Presidential 'Recount' in Light of Attacks
    
    ([INSIDE])
  2. Journalists involved say time is not right to publish results of ballot-by-ballot study of nearly 200,000 disputed 'votes.' In part that's because resources are stretched thin, but another reason is concern that what they find may undercut the legitimacy of the commander in chief.

  1. It's the Oil, Stupid
    
    (AlterNet)
  2. What could possibly motivate the propping up of repressive non-democracies like the Saudi and Kuwaiti royal families, or murderous regimes like that of Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran? Or pouring billions into the coffers of Saddam Hussein in the '80s, or even creating the monster that is possibly the mastermind of these attacks, Osama bin Laden, beneficiary of CIA lucre and training?It's the oil, stupid. Once again, America's twin addictions, that of its people to cheap gasoline and its corporations to billions of petro-dollars, has led us right into the proverbial pit. Having learned very little or forgotten a lot in the wake of the oil embargoes of the 1970s, America is as strung out on the fossil-fuel jones as any Bonnie Brae Street junkie is on Mexican tar heroin.
    
    BoyCaught thinks this is a nice analysis of the real causes of anti-American sentiment in the region. But oil is probably just part of a larger story. He who controls the world's oil controls the world's economy. With the European Union to start up in earnest in 2002 when the switch is made to a single currency, destabilization in the Middle East-- just a Tomahawk cruise missile hop, skip, and a jump from major European capitals -- will throw a major crimp into the dreams of European global economic hegemony. It's not the oil. It's the money, stupid. Whenever they say it's not about the money, it's about the money. It's always the money. More on this later.

  1. George Bush, Skull & Bones and the New World Order
    
    (New Netizen)
  2. On a more practical political level, the Gulf War was a gambit to save the Bush presidency from a mounting pile of domestic financial woes, not the least of which was the savings and loan (S&L) crisis and a pending series of failures of major commercial banks.
    
    This long, long piece, written for a Japanese audience, back in 1991, was intended to explain why America fought the Gulf War. It's controversial and probably disinformative in lots of ways. But the look at the parallels to the present situation: son Bush faces a terrible economy and the possible collapse of the airline industry, without which United States cannot be a superpower. His solution, like his father's, made convenient by the WTC attack: war. Though long and nasty at times, this is a good, thought-provoking read; grain of salt, please.

  1. Knowing the Enemy
    
    (DEBKAfile)
  2. These future recruits to Bin Ladenﾒs Moslem internationale are subjected to rigorous training disciplines in guerrilla and urban combat, sabotage, the making and use of bombs, simple weaponry for use against planes, helicopters and tanks and endurance in harsh conditions deprived of water and food for long periods. This is not a ragged rabble, but a well-drilled, dedicated Islamic legion of at least 110,000 zealots, raring to take on Western armies and unafraid of elite US Delta, Rangers and Seals or British S.A.S. commandos descending on their strongholds.
    
    In the grand scheme of things, the United States may be "Goliath," and Bin Laden's warriors may be "David," but their slingshots ain't Shiite. Okay, that one was bad! But can you fault BoyCaught for trying to squeeze a little humor out of a pretty gloomy scenario? (b/w MediaNews, which notes that the DEBKAfile has some pretty scary information. A land war in the Afghanistan will be extremely difficult to win. Just ask the Russians.)

  1. Whitewashers: White House shifts media control into high gear
    
    (The Smirking Chimp)
  2. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer took a slap at "Politically Incorrect" host Bill Maher, who called U.S. military strikes on faraway targets "cowardly." Fleischer blasted Maher, claiming it was "a terrible thing to say," and didn't stop there, noting "There are reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do, and this is not a time for remarks like that; there never is."
    
    Freedom of speech ... but watch what you say. Listen up people: the only thing we know for sure about the WTC and Pentagon attacks is a lot of innocent people died. Everything else -- that we hear from the media -- is Bush administration spin doctoring. You can go ahead and believe what they tell you, but don't forget: Dubya become POTUS by way of probable fraud. Have you forgotten, bubbleah?

  1. EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 2001-262

  2. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JEB BUSH, as Governor of Florida, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Article IV, Section 1(a) of the Florida Constitution ... hereby declare that a state of emergency exists in the State of Florida. I further find that the precautions needed to protect the State from a recurrence of such terrorist acts require a coordination of efforts by a number of agencies.
    
    This order was issued on September 11! On the day of the WTC and Pentagon attack, Gov. Bush ordered Florida into a state of martial law ... before New York or DC even had reacted in any official way. The timing's a bit curious, don't you think?

  1. A Nice Place To Visit
  2. The way people seem to be feeling these days, as they struggle to return to "normalcy," reminds BoyCaught of a particular "Twilight Zone" episode. It was entitled, "A Nice Place To Visit," and it was about a small-time gangster who dies and ends up in what he thinks is heaven. In this place, he gets everything he ever wants: money, dames, all the right cards in the poker game, and all the control. And he gets everything with impunity, not even a peep from even the police. There are no police, no one to keep him in line. But in this world, everything comes so easy. Too easy. Then one day, he wakes up and he tells the concierge-type guy who's been showing him around that he feels he is in the wrong place. That it's all a big mistake. He doesn't feel right being here and thinks that maybe he should go to the other place. And then concierge man tells him that this is "the other place."
    Maybe this is the other place.

But you wouldnﾒt know it to look at the junk we put on TV and export to the world.Suddenly pop culture looks like excrement smeared by a mental patient.Of course it always did. But suddenly the shallowness feels shameful. Am I the only one who feels this way? What dream have we been living in?

  1. Blowback
  2. The twenty-first century, Chalmers Johnson tells us, will be a payback world in which the United States will reap the global resentments it is now sowing. "Blowback," a term invented by the CIA, refers to the unintended consequences of American policies ... Johnson lays out in vivid detail the dangers faced by our overextended empire, which insists on projecting its military power to every corner of the earth and using American capital and markets to force global economic integration on its own terms.
    
    BoyCaught picked up this book way back in the summer of 2000. It ended up on the night table -- actually, the floor -- and instead of getting read, it served to prop up all of the web development, SQL, and Java books that are necessary for the daytime job. Seem like now's a good time to start reading this one.

  1. Reason in a Time of Anger
    
    (monkeyfist blog)
  2. We are shocked that such destruction could take place in America, not considering that such tragedy has become commonplace for many people in other, less self-possessed places. We are appalled at the blatant disregard for the lives of ordinary people, forgetting the pain inflicted upon other ordinary people by American-backed terror or, worse still, by our own government's hand in the name of our national interests.Don't misunderstand my words or question my loyalties. I love America, and I am appalled by this crime against humanity. I only ask for reason in a time of anger
    
    Thoughtful words.

  1. America: A Tribute to Heroes
  2. The entertainment industry has come together in an historic fashion to raise funds and raise the spirits of all who have been touched by the horrific tragedy that has struck America.
    
    The stars came out tonight, and it was a pretty amazing evening. Why can't people be this generous during "normal" times?

  1. Not Broken
  2. Earlier, I wrote about how the company I work for, Landor, was asked by the Mayor's office to design a logo for New York's efforts to rebuild itself. The City created a fund, called the Twin Towers Fund, and the "Unbroken" ribbon and wordmark (above) form the symbol that was chosen from amongst several dozen we submitted. It's a small thing, especially when given the enormity of what occured on September 11th, but for a design firm, it's probably the best we can do, as a organization, to help. The story of how this all came together is pretty inspiring; if I get around to it, I'll post the highlights here.
    
    Unbroken is a concept that I like. We've been hit, but we're not down. We feel pain, but we still have our confidence and swagger. The horror of that day has hurt us all, but we are not broken, and we can do something to change things for the better. I just hope we do the right thing.
