Hunting really stupid humans
with David Brooks. Josh
Marshall and
Bob
Somerby have already
explained why David Brooks's column
in today's New York Times - claiming that criticism of the
neoconservatives is a form of anti-Semitism - is so deeply
offensive.
But let me zero in on just one
part. Brooks writes:
Theories about the tightly
knit neocon cabal came in waves. One day you read that neocons
were pushing plans to finish off Iraq and move into Syria. Web
sites appeared detailing neocon conspiracies; my favorite
described a neocon outing organized by Dick Cheney to hunt for
humans.
Really? Is this what all of us
liberal and lefty conspiracy theorists are buzzing about these days -
that Dick Cheney likes to shoot humans when there aren't enough
tame
pheasants to blast out of
the sky?
I fired up Google and got to work.
First, I came across this
post on the website of the
Portland (Oregon) Independent Media Center titled "9-11 Director
CHENEY RAPES CHILDREN and has a history of playing HUNT THE HUMAN in
Wyoming." It begins:
This whole neocon
monstrosity of America is a sick place. Its shallow media lets
these type of people into power here. SUMMARY: Cheney is involved
in 'testing,' hunting, and raping children who were Monarch Mind
Control Slaves when he was the sole Representative for Wyoming in
the 1970s. Below is some testimony from one of his child victims.
Well, this certainly explains how he could have the composure or
sang froid to be the Bush Administrations's 9-11 Director as he
oversaw the deaths of thousands in the World Trade Center, told
the military planes to standdown, and let the plane hit the
Pentagon (without ordering the evacuation of it as he could have
over 30 minutes earlier, and without ordering the evacuation of
the fourth plane hit location, the Congress, either). Cheney
ordered the fourth plane shot down as well, even according to
nimrod Bush. Cheney is one sick asshole who deserves the electric
chair.
Crazy? Well, yeah, of course. But
to read Brooks, you'd think he'd learned of this nuttiness by paging
through the Dean
for America weblog.
But wait: it gets better. Because
it turns out that the only other entry I could find for Cheney and
human-hunting involves - yes! - Bill Clinton! Check
this out:
Another Clinton-Bush
connection is their love of hunting mind controlled men, women and
children, The Most Dangerous Game. Cathy describes one of
experiences at Swiss Villa when Clinton and Bush went hunting with
dogs for herself, her daughter, Kelly and two mind
controlled "toy soldiers", one of whom had Italian-looking
features:
Swiss Villa appeared deserted,
except for Bill Clinton and George Bush who stood at the edge of
the woods with their hunting dogs at the ready to embark on " The
Most Dangerous Game of human hunting. (Clinton shared Bush's
passion for traumatising and hunting humans)...Bush and Clinton
alike in camouflage pants, army boots, and wind breakers. The
two shared the trademark of sharing a cap with cryptic meaning.
This time, Bush's camouflage cap had an orange insignia which said
"Dear Hunter". Clinton's blue cap read, "Aim High" and had a
picture of a rifle on it. Clinton appeared awkward with his
hunting rifle, while Bush looked like an expert marksman with his
black rifle and elaborate scope.
"The rules of the game are
simple" Bush began, triggering me by using the same words that
always preceded the most dangerous game.
Clinton interrupted; "You run,
We hunt "
Bush continued: 'This will be
called " Hunt for a Virgin"' ( Clinton chuckled) 'and she's
it. He pointed to Kelley who was still in my arms. "I catch
you, she's mine"
Clinton spoke up: 'You'll have
plenty of time to play with the dogs because they'll have
you pinned down while we... ' ( he slid a bullet in the chamber
for emphasis)'... hunt down the bigger game.' Clinton
glared a the "toy soldier" with the waxy face. Toy soldier was a
term I often heard referring to the mind-controlled robotic
'"special forces'"young men who operated under the New World
Order.
And on and on it goes.
So what's the point? Simple: why is
David Brooks shoveling this garbage out there as though it were
something that's actually being talked about by those who oppose the
Bush-Cheney policy of pre-emptive war? And why is he portraying the
human-hunting crap as though it were directed at Cheney and his
neocon friends, when in fact a cursory examination reveals that
Clinton - the original victim of the vast right-wing conspiracy - has
been dragged into it as well?
When Brooks got an op-ed
columnist's slot at the Times last year, my biggest question
was whether the paper's right-wing critics would be appeased by
hiring someone so moderate.
Well, it's increasingly looking
like Brooks has decided to reinvent himself. And it ain't
pretty.
