The Most Important News You’ll Never Hear About...

Unless you Google: emergency powers george bush

Weird Wally heard of Mr. Bush’s actions a few days ago but, did not have enough information to come up with a good Google search term.

Although he’d gotten a few good hints over time, there was nothing solid. But when WW decided to put those hints into words, he came up with: emergency powers george bush.

And ,the following links are only a few among many.

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.

The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive," with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.

That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for "National Essential Functions" of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president's directives in the event of a national emergency.

The directive loosely defines "catastrophic emergency" as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

WW wants to suggest to those of you who are ok with oppression because, you have nothing to hide, consider the possibility that you also have everything to loose.

Here it is, direct from the horses mouth at whitehouse.gov

Now tell me again about how we might fix things after the 2008 Elections, assuming that they actually happen?

In his latest comunique, Hillbilly Hermit sends us the top ten reasons to be a hermit and, also sends us a picture of the washing machine in his front yard. Hillbilly sez, “Okay, okay. It's not new. It sat in the neighbor's yard for 20 years, but the damned thing works, and just think. One load of water will do 10 loads of laundry (if you keep adding soap and rinse real good).”


Hillbilly Hermit sez:

Why would one go from social worker to hermit? or choose to live
without close human contact? or give up the pleasures of joining a
crowd of thousands at a football game, or a concert? Why would one pass
up the absolute pleasure of going to a crowded buffet on "shrimp night"?

Here 10 good reasons:

-cooties. Ever had scabies? or crabs? or head lice? You don't get
these things from the air. They crawl off the lady sitting next to you
on the crowded commuter train... or maybe something crawled out of the
ass of one of the last 100 people who sat on the same seat you're
sitting on now?

-cost. Your house cost $200,000 plus. My house cost $35,000 and
includes 35 acres of forest.

-germs. Consider the restaurant, or worse, the buffet... several
hundred people sneezing and snorting their way through the food lines...
touching their asses, then touching the food-- the same food you're
going to eat.

-Jones. as in "keeping up with." A $60,000 Mercedes? or a $600 used
truck? ain't pretty, no prestige, but leaves me $59,400 I don't have to
earn... or steal.

-feeding frenzies. Christmas shopping, obesity, scalper prices for
sold-out performances? A beautiful sunrise doesn't cost a cent, and you
can watch it from anywhere.

-conformity. drive the same car, live in the same loft, buy the same
clothes. In an ant den, all the ants look alike too.

-smell. I realize that most of those reading this have never been
outside the city long enough for their noses to adjust, but you can't
imagine how bad the cities smell until you've lived in clean air for a
while.

-chewing gum. Yeah yeah, I gotta watch out for cow pies, but I'd much,
much rather step in cow shit than walk the vomit encrusted, chewing gum
mined, pissed-on doorsteps of any city street. Just think. The same
shoes that spent the day stepping in that stuff now slide under the bed
you'll be sleeping in tonight.

-hive mentality. ten million bees, all buzzing in harmony, all
collecting honey for the queen (or king george), and all ready to
sacrifice their lives when king george tells 'em there's a war on.

-road rage. Where I live, we wave and smile at passing motorists. If I
do that in the city, I get shot.

And the top reason: Not a target for missiles or terrorists.

Does ATT Give Good Phone?

Or, should Weird Wally go with Cingular instead?

The Iraq War Who Pays and Who Profits.

Might National Public Radio be finally getting a grip again?

Weird Wally intuits that things just don't seem right, correct and, in harmony, right now.

Meanwhile we are all assuming that we can fix everything come November of 2008

But, if the truth be told it is already too late

Because we've already voted and sealed our fate

So it is that George junior is the Head of our State

And he and Karl Rove are telling us who we should hate.

And they don't even realize that they are fucking with fate.

Trust me,

Hillbilly Hermit, a regular contributor to Weird Wally’s Worldview, asks how the Republicans are supporting our troops while cutting funding for the Veterans Administration and voting against a payraise for our troops. Who and what do the Republicans really support?


The Six Most Powerful Entities
by Hillbilly Hermit

Who was it that spoke of the "perfect marriage of government and
industry?"

Microsoft-- controls 95% or the worlds computers. And hidden deep
inside each microsoft operated computer lay hidden files... tracks of
every website you ever visited, your personal information stored in
microsoft files, and every time you connect to the internet, your
information is updated in microsoft's memory banks back at the microsoft
behemoth.

Halliburton-- The Vice President's very own war toy. Supplying and
supporting America's army, in on every secret, participant in war
strategy planning, and ripping off not only huge "legitimate" profits,
but stealing the money they can't legally take.

Walmart-- purveyor to the American Consumer. Whatever you're looking
for, whatever you need, whatever you want, Walmart supplies it a little
cheaper than anyone else.

Diebold-- Every time you use an ATM, you are giving all your financial
information to Diebold. Every time you cast a vote, you are giving all
your information to Diebold. And every time there's an election,
Diebold gives a generous "contribution" to the Republicans.

Bush Oil-- President Bush led us into a war with the oil producing
Middle East. When he took office, you could get a gallon of regular for
$1.25 Six years later, you could get that same gallon for $3.59!
Harking back to the slogan: "What's good for Bush is good for America."

Blackwater Security Services-- lest we ever run short of dedicated,
loyal soldiers, America's private army is always there to fill in the
gaps.

And then there's the "Patriot Act" tying it all together.

Tell me again who said: "The perfect marriage of government and
industry."

Hillbilly Hermit lives lives in a trailer somewhere in the mountains of Colorado. Living on nearly 50 isolated acres, he has seven vehicles parked in his front yard and, according to his most recent communique, is expecting to take possession of a washing machine soon. Hillbilly promises to send a photograph of that event as soon as it happens.

It’s Good to Bee Home
by Hillbilly Hermit

We've all heard about the disappearance of the bees. We've all heard
that 1/3 (one third) of humanity's food supply depends on bees.

There is no question that the signs are ominous. That "one third"
becomes even greater when you take into account things like cattle
feed-- clover and alfalfa, that also require pollinating.

Years ago, when the tracheal mite first showed up, and bee hives were
decimated, there were preachings of gloom and doom-- the end of the food
supply and such.

But house flies, as much as we hate 'em, along with throngs of other
pesky little bugs took over where the bees left off. The doomsayers
never thought about the fact that the insect world is incredibly
competitive. When one species dies off, another takes over... usually
in weeks.

Some of the highly industrialized crops; almonds, alfalfa, and such
might suffer for a while, but I'm hoping that the home garden will
become a haven for a diverse community of nectar seeking insects.

At least, I hope to God so,
Hillbilly Hermit

NYC Undercover...Part 2

Anyway, Weird Wally climbs into the cab and a driver wearing a hat and sporting a phony accent asks where WW needs to go.

And when WW saw the birthmark on the cabbies left hand, he knew that he had landed in the middle of an NYPD Sting.

WW had known Gerald since birth and they had spent their early years growing up in a south Bronx neighborhood. Although they hadn’t kept in touch, WW knew that Gerald was a cop.

WW: “I know who you are, Gerald. Remember Weird Wally?”

WW and Detective Gerald (NOYB), talked about old times and new shit while sharing a blunt. Still, Gerald could not leave the area, and had to drop WW off only a block or two away.

Seems like a lot of cabbies are reporting that African American males are mugging them in broad daylight. “Even the cabbies from Zimbabwe are reporting it and can’t give a good description because all African American men seem to look alike,” Gerald said.

After a conversation of numbers and alphabet spelling over a walkie-talkie, WW is dropped off on a street corner and told to wait.

Twenty seconds later, a Crown Vic pulls up and the suit ridding shotgun rolls down his window.

“You Weird Wally?”

WW nods

“Get in the back.”

Shotgun passes WW a blunt. “I hate this kind of duty cuz it’s only about politics and, my team could better be used elsewhere."

WW says, "All I wanted was a cab and I end up in the back seat of a Crown Vic," and passed the blunt to the driver.

Shotgun asks, "where can we take you Weird Wally?"

WW says, "I can't believe this fucking bullshit!"

"Sorry," says the driver. "But Petersburg, Kentucky, is outside of our jurisdiction."

NYC Undercover

Weird Wally was in the Big Apple a few days ago and a red light should have went off in his head when he was able to catch a cab in mid-town Manhattan and, luck out on his first try.
Even more impressive was the fact that a cab cuts across several lanes of traffic, just to get WW’s business.

Black Dude in Mid-town Manhattan Gets Cab,
how does that happen?

WW sees the future and it is from the back seat of a Crown-Vic

But that isn't always a bad thing...
there are times when brothas on the street
just need to learn some manners

And so do cops...l

Whenever WW shuts up and listens, he always gains a lot more then if he shouts out and is blind

Spiritual Outlaws: Geeks Questioning Common Truths and Wisdom

They thought they had him and had him good. But what they didn’t understand, was that Weird Wally was in his mid-sixties and actually hated to drive, meanwhile, they were in their mid-twenties and loved to drive fast.

They, being federal law enforcement agents, saw WW as an aggressive and crazy driver and did everything to secretly follow him everywhere he went.

But, if federal law enforcement agents had thought about it, all they would have to have done was to call WW a cab ride to the grocery store.

Has fear caused us to get so fucked up and complicated?

Call him irresponsible...
Call him hyper-vigilant....
Call him anything you choose

But Weird Wally predicts
A Constitutional Crisis Blues...
Coming Soon!

Condi Rice, Alberto Gonzales, Iraq, Iran, Jack Abramoff, WMDs, Joe Wilson and, the list goes on and on.

If investigations are allowed to continue, a lot of top administration officials might end up in federal correctional facilities and Karl Rove and those of his ilk would be locked up and become prison bitches.

Text to Karl Rove from Snoopdog: "Hey, we are going to the same facility Karl and I'll talk to ya later my bitch!"

Upon hearing (no pun intended) that, Mr. Rove is frozen in time like a deer in headlights and can't decide to puke his guts or shit his pants.

And since Rove and his neocons have pissed a lot of people off, the last thing that they would ever want to do is go to prison.

Iran: Another Perspective A Photo Tour

While Cheney wars Iran to do as we say and not as we do, and John McCain jokes about bombing Iran, Weird Wally decided to post this Iran Photo Tour on Worldview, just so people will get some small clue.

Hillbilly Hermit, is a regular contributor to Weird Wally’s Worldview. In his latest rage against the hate machine, Hillbilly takes on Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, and, oddly enough, ends up thanking Fred Phelps. Ya gotta read it to believe it.

Hillbilly Hermit's take on Christian Hatred

When the Baptist Minister, the right reverend Fred Phelps
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps first put up his website:
http://www.godhatesfags.com there was a mix of outrage from the minority
Gay population, laughter among the general population, and silent
support from the religious right.

When Fred Phelps picketed the funerals of AIDS Patients and taunted the
mourners, there was a mix of outrage from the Gay community, laughter
from the general population, and silent support from the religious
right.

When Fred Phelps and company picketed the Matthew Shepard funeral,
mourners quietly ignored him, and the rest of the world looked the other
way.

But when Fred Phelps started picketing military funerals, everyone was
pissed.

In May, 2007, Fred Phelps called himself "the most hated person in
America", largely due to his picketing of funerals for soldier-victims
of the Iraq war.

But for Hillbilly Hermit, Fred Phelps has done more for me and my
beloved Gay community than anyone since Anita Bryant.

In the seventies, Anita took hatred of Gay people to new heights-- to
its logical absurdity.

Now, Phelps is doing the same thing she did, only this time, he is
showing the Baptists for what they really are. For decades, notables
such as Jerry Falwell have grown fat and rich peddling anti-gay hatred
under the banner of the Baptist Church, but Phelps has taken Falwells'
venomous attacks to their logical absurdity.

Falwell tried, when he declared that "Tinky Winky" was gay, and when he
blamed hurricane Katrina on the Gay Community, but even Falwell,
Robertson and company remained silent when Phelps made national
headlines picketing military funerals.

I think I know why Falwell, Robertson, Dobson ad nauseum spew their
anti-gay hatred. It has made them all very rich.

But why has Phelps joined the throngs of hate mongers? Perhaps he took
Jesus' words that the world will revile and hate His followers
seriously. He has indeed gained monetary support for his fanatic
position, but compared to Falwell, not much. But that doesn't explain
why he beat his children, abused his wife, or why he remains affiliated
with the Baptist Church. I really don't know why.

What I do know is that for me and the Gay Community, Phelps has made us
more friends than enemies. Simply put. It is easy to hate Jews,
Blacks, Gays, and other minority groups when it's just words of venom.
But when you drag James Byrd to death behind a texas bubba pickup truck,
or police fire 43 bullets into a Black college student when he tries to
show you his identification card, or Phelps pickets the funeral of a 22
year-old gay man who was tortured to death and hung on a Wyoming fence
to die, even America's hating majority has trouble with it.

So Thank You, phred phelps. By making yourself "the most hated man in
America", you have taken some of the heat off of me.
