Will Someone Bash In Alexander Cockburn’s Head Metaphorically? : Geraldo Ford as Worse Than Hussein, Counterpunch as No Better Than The New York Times
by Richard Oxman

When Princess Di worked the landmine abomination for the press she was –knowingly or not– addressing the horror of Angolan politics simultaneously. They’ve always gone together.

Just like Gerald Ford and The Horror of Angola. Though you’d never know it to read Alexander Cockburn’s praise of the recently-passed on president.

“Kissinger was part of the furniture when Ford took over,” explains AC…as he enthusiastically endorses Gerald as Our Greatest President, serving simultaneously as a shameless apologist for Crimes Against Humanity as per Ford. Like an air conditioner turned on way too high, but with a stink lingering.

I ask all readers to consider what THEY would have done with Kissinger if THEY had suddenly become Leader of the Free World. Wouldn’t getting rid of Henry have been the First Order of Business? Or, at least, seen to within the first ten days? Yah, it would’ve been that easy. ..if motivated.

August 8th (1974) –when Ford replaced Nixon/took over for Nixon– is the date that falls right smack between the anniversaries for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as far as I remember. How appropriate. It’s also the anniversary of The Great Train Robbery. The notorious crime for which the perpetrators were punished. Imagine that! Criminals put away in spite of the nation being all shook up.

I’ve got news for the likes of Counterpunch and the NYTimes: The nation would have held together just fine if Nixon were hung out to dry for bombing Cambodia, land mining Laos or picking locks with plumbers. FACT. Those “institutions,” however, perpetuate a contrary notion, and someone needs to bash their heads against the wall…metaphorically. They are both too stupid to lead, to inform.

But back to Angola. The country where people die on average at 38.62 years old. The nation to which we turned our backs, long before Kissinger chose to landmine it with Ford’s imprimatur.

There are as many landmines as people in Angola. To this day, the shoulders of roads are notorious for the hidden explosives, and must never be driven on. Ditto for unknown pockets of danger in prime agricultural areas. Luanda is the capital…of prostheses.

Compliments of Kissinger and Ford. Make no mistake about that…like Cockburn and the New York Times do. Do take a look at John Stockwell’s In Search of Enemies (if you must) to confirm the degree/nature of our involvement…for starters. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Stockwell/In_Search_Enemies.html is fun…before you take in the visual images of our legacy…available from me upon request. And the other ongoing horrors, rip-offs, etc. that we fully prop up.

It would make any conscious person throw up.

Dissenting Writers and User (“American”) Atrocities go together. They keep people busy focused on the surface of things, the obvious whilst The User Holocaust continues. They take the Road of the Straw Man, adopting surprising stances now and then (like naming Gerry “Our Greatest President”) too…to score easy points with their reading public. Like a Madonna-like adoption, a Jolie Joke for The Pits.

I really detest slam dunks in competition with paraplegics. Excuse me, quadriplegics.

Especially now that the whole world is being crippled with Protheses Seen As Salvation playing.

August 8th Saddam Hussein’s regime was shaken when two of his daughters and their husbands, along with several army officers, defected.

Some of the defectors had their heads bashed in upon their return.

Sometimes metaphors work. Sometimes they don’t.

Ricardo Oxman, rmoxman@yahoo.com, wants readers to know that The Indonesian Holocaust for which Ford and Kissinger were responsible was only one of many such horrors created by The People Who Brought You A National Respite From Nixon. The most updated versions of his writing are always at www.oxtogrind.org; that’s where –in the article posted just prior to this one– you’ll find AC’s full endorsement. He finds it very hard to believe that Jeffrey St. Clair (Cockburn’s CPunch “partner”) could possibly applaud Gerald Ford…the way in which Alexander has, AC’s claims notwithstanding.
