Neo-Caligula did not evacuate our bases in the ME before he whipped out his dick the other night... NOR give ANY warning to Americans visiting or working in the ME. If he'd done that, it would've spoiled the element of surprise. I reckon, and maybe so did he, that anyone who got through the third grade would have known to absent themselves from the region if they wanted to be certain they could survive, but now State won't help anyone out of there.

Probably because all our embassies there are pft, pau, powder already.

I mention it because some of you still harbor the illusion that at least he still values OUR lives.

I have narrowed it down to two possibilities: [1] Neo-Caligula has entered that highly agitated, completely unreasoning, phase of the slide into frank dementia; or [2] he's wanted into the death cult psychopaths' circle — they/them — for so long and with such determination that they finally caved and offered him a seat for the Trump Family in perpetuity if he showed he would damn his immortal soul in this way.

I think we ought to be begging JD and Tulsi to invoke the 25th.

this might sound horrible

Because it is unthinkable and beyond horrible by a lot, but it gave me this bent idea. Could we figure out a way to "bury" our dead this way? Like rig funeral homes with ultra-micro-mini nuke chambers so we can be incinerated with some sand and end up as bits of Trinitite?

Personally, I had favored being fed whole into a chipper at the base of a redwood, or left there for a mountain lion's lunch, but a speck of Trinitite sounds pretty awesome, too.

You might not be convinced, but I've just gone into my sweater dominatrix mode, having figured out at last how to keep my large American breasts from flying out my silly black silk sweater slash poncho when I start thundering... or tap dancing on foreheads.

So I can stay outrageous without threat to my dignity now.

They keep calling Khamenei "The Ayatollah". We all know what they mean, I think, but he was one of quite a few ayatollahs. Ayatollahs are something like ultra-priest/pastors — PhD theologians combined with PhDs in mystical schools — like the kind of Christian monks nobody ever gets to see or hear from because we're too fucking impure and they're too busy off in their monasteries trying to improve both their religion and the spirits of the hoi polloi who follow it.

Ayatollahs are hot shit "clerics", way up there in the rare air of combined intellectual mastery and spiritual mastery. Iran has a bunch of them, and they get together and decide who among them they want to represent them... JUST like with the College of Cardinals deciding who becomes Pope after the last one dies... without the freakin' smoke signals. Khamenei was THE ayatollah, alright. Supreme Leader Ayatollah.

Okay?

You guys don't seem to understand that to guys like Khamenei and Ahmadinejad lying would be something akin to what eating a platter piled high with shit would be for you on the plane of all totally unacceptable options. No lemon wedges. No parsley.

Ahmadinejad NEVER said, "Wipe Israel from the map." He was consoling an audience that Israel would one day "disappear from the map of time" just like the many tyrannies preceding it. An interpreter PURPOSELY mistranslated him. He was a great, great president to lead Iran when he did. He and his boss got them through a truly vicious push to take Iran from Iranians. I'm so glad he's not dead.

I had a very dear online friend for many years named Homeyra. I called her "Homie". She's an architect in Tehran... if she's still alive. She had heart problems as of years ago, and pretty much dropped out of coms. She was pretty mad at me for not siding with the Iranian college kids in favor of public displays of extreme affection, and for sticking up for President Ahmadinejad's "puritanical" approach to a thriving society.

I'd become shrill with her remaining so stubbornly nostalgic. Neda was being slaughtered by SpecOps on a nearby rooftop and she couldn't understand how I knew that. She couldn't stop remembering her youth under the execrable Shah... her mother's GORGEOUS ballgowns and cocktail dresses... wanted at least SOME of that fun back for the privileged young people.

She was SO sweet, and bullheadedly. I could not ever completely square how someone SO smart could be so intransigently... well... romantic in the face of such scary stakes in that color revolution raging all around her. It's a fact that the college students in Tehran were hot to overthrow the government... and some of the formerly-privileged under the Shah who wished for their social status back.

She told me about another city with college kids like Tehran's, but I can't remember which it was. I told her that college kids in two cities and miscellaneous hold overs from before the revolution do NOT constitute popular demand; that Ahmadinejad had the wholehearted support of 90% of the country; and deserved it, because he went all over Iran, helping raise the prospects and living conditions for the poor.

Homie'd just scoffed that he'd been trying to buy votes. Snooty. Bratty even.

No, Homie, he'd been doing his job.

You know who ELSE is that kind of misunderstood in Clown World? Vladimir Putin. People sneer at images of him in church on holy days, like this gangster can't possibly have a religious bone in his body. Well, back in his days working for the Mayor of Saint Petersburg, after the fall of the USSR, he took some money designated for some construction project or other to buy instead food for the starving people on the streets of the city.

I don't know about you, but especially if I'd been born in that city like he was, I'd've been loath to watch any more starvation there. Anyone with a heart would be loath to watch starvation AT ALL! But he STILL is reviled in Clown World for "stealing" public funds. Luckily for Russia and the world, this brazen act of decency is what got him noticed by President Yeltsin, and the reason he picked him to protect Russia from the Clown World vampires Yeltsin was too drunk and feeble to withstand.

It just ALWAYS boils down to people being completely unable to fathom that there is the element of spiritual duty incumbent upon the realized that explains their actions to one's immediate satisfaction where so many just fill in all blanks with the contents of their own mentalities. It is THE number one MOST hateful aspect of materialism.

Not all the Iranians who were upset by the Islamic Revolution left Iran. Some who loved their home and family too much to leave stayed home and suffered. Homie never married, but she was devoted to her older brother, who, even as a technically not Muslim brother or sister, still most certainly had that ancient practice of women needing to be under the protection of their father or brother if unmarried.

He would not leave, so she could only go on long vacations abroad every year. Full stop. Not negotiable. Her brother's word was law.

I'd told her many times it was a darn good thing I'd never been there because I'd've smacked anyone demanding I put on a scarf up one side and down the other! Made her laugh. Yet, whenever I was on about how people here thought we ought to go in and liberate the women of Iran, she became very stern, "No thank you! We will handle it ourselves!"

Truly, anyone who thinks leveling cities is the right approach to women's liberation should be shot. Pull yourselves together. Butt OUT.

Anyone who thinks Vladimir Putin is a thug and a gangster is as shootable a twat. He's a gangster alright. He made all those billionaires toe the line or leave before they found themselves in prison. Now he has billionaires who will do ANYTHING he asks or... leave before they go to prison. The ground rules were not onerous. NO politics and NO media. You cannot touch politics or media ownership in Russia if you are a billionaire.

THINK of how much nicer OUR lives would be if those were the rules here.

Go on. I'll wait.

If Neo-Caligula were even .01% the man Vladimir Putin is, this SHIT we are swimming in would NEVER have happened. Same with Khamenei and Ahmadinejad. Fucking hell. Take your head out of your ass.
