http://www.blogigo.co.uk/immanuelkunt The greatest philosopher of our time gives you the knowledge you KUNT live without. en immanuelkunt immanuelkunt Wed, 18 Oct 2006 09:06:00 +0200 daily 1 So I have a hobby of looking at old DOD transcripts  and this one came up with Wolfowitz on Fox News with Tony Snow. And Snow, as you will see if you read this mostly boring interview is hinting towards invasion of Syria and Iran, and Wolfie kind of ducks it saying we have to focus on the task at hand. Smart guy. Anyway, so Snow winds up and gives Wolfie this one. Snow: There is not a long history in recent years of democracy in Iraq, and many of these people have no residual notion how it works. We saw in East Germany it took quite a while for people to get accustomed again to any kind of freedom -- that's a Westernized nation. What makes you confident that democracy can take hold in a nation that has been more or less under the thrall of Ba'athist dictatorships for more than 40 years and does not have the kind of history that other nations have? Now this is a sensible question especially at the time of the interview. Score one for Snow, he was so smart the...

After suffering through the end of the Diane "Nauseating Voice Disorder" Rehm show I was "treated" to Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Anyway the discussion was on FCC rules and penalties and the chilling effect it has on the broadcast industry. One of the guests was Federal Communications Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein. Terry was asking him some decent questions and Adelstein really had no good answers to why the FCC was behaving in such a queer fashion. Specifically flip flopping on Bono saying fucking at the Golden Globes and the allowance of cussing in Saving Private Ryan but not in a Scorcese documentary about the blues. Adelstein acted as if he's a member of some giant body in which his voice of reason is overruled by a huge majority. In actuality he is on a board of five members that decides what is and isn't decent in this country. The board is appointed by the President and confirmed by the...

For what it's worth, the Iraq Constitution has most likely been voted in by the Iraq people, fraud or no fraud . What concerns me, besides the meager reporting on the possible fraud, is this paragraph from the article: Iraq's Electoral Commission said on Monday it would follow international practice by examining "unusually high" results from provinces which recorded margins of 90 percent or more in favour or against the new draft constitution.  Now does that mean that they won't investigate the Ninevah province where voter fraud might have actually made a difference in the election? What adds to the anti-climactic flavor of this historic event is the actual constitution itself. Beyond the fluffy language and self-aggrandizement of the great Mesopotamian empire, there is much ambiguous language in this document. For example Article (2): 1st - Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation: (a) No law can be passed...

Exterminate with extreme predjudice! Thursday, June 26, 2003 Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz Interview with The Washington Post (Interview with Tom Ricks, The Washington Post.)           Q:Are we going to change U.S. policy in Iraq or do you think things are basically on course despite this rash of attacks?        Wolfowitz: We're dealing with a very -- what's the right word -- remnants of a really horrible regime much like a very large Mafia gang. Ruthless and intimidating.  And we need to clean them out.. . .Going after the foreign terrorists that are trying to kill Americans too, and we don't know the level of association between the two, but I wouldn't say there isn't one just because we don't know it.        Q:  So you don't anticipate any...

I'm gonna take you on a trip back to the innocent weeks surrounding the initial invasion of Iraq. These were the genius days of Ari Fleischer, when he could catch the slow media bullets of the White House Press Corp and spit them back as diamonds. The Mouthpiece of the Devil. Our first stop on memory lane is a press conference on March 3, 2003 , I will call "The Regime Change Shuffle." Here Fleischer floats Bush back to safer ground after a declaration has already been made by the cowboy in the Whitehouse. I will be the questioner and Fleischer will be himself. Q Ari, the past couple of weeks you've said a number of times that we know what disarmament looks like, and you've cited the examples of South Africa and other nations that have disarmed. If the Iraqis continue -- that's a big "if" -- but if they continued on a daily basis getting rid of...

My bro is in town from Corpus where he was forced to evacuate the coast along with hundreds of thousands of other people. And now I here that the Miss Hurricane Rita is only a category 3 now! Well I for one am glad I went to the store to buy 10 gallons of water. That way I can simulate a hurricane in my bathtub while I'm drinking a hurricane and a margaRita! One thing is for sure, people really love death and destruction but they sure are let down when it doesn't happen. Case in point: the jet crash  that didn't happen the other day. What a great story of heroism and courage under pressure. The shit didn't even make the front page of my newspaper here in S.A. It was a daily brief, maybe 50 words at the most! They just reverted back to the hurricane coverage. After this little storm peters out it will be back to war coverage and Bush...

Welcome to the wonderful world of Kunt. Immanuel Kunt that is. Here on the old blog I'm going to take you into the intimate world of the mind of Kunt. You may know me from my critically succesful "Treatise on Hard Living" or the ever popular "Metaphysics of Immorals and Inhuman Kindness" I would have linked to the these titles but unfortunately they seem to have flown off the virtual shelves so to speak, but I will keep you informed on new editions and upcoming publications. That is all for now, until next time.
