The "R" Word

Terms like “recession” - which few know the technical meaning of - are batted back and forth as the economy continues its slide with few candidates or media menshes doing much to illuminate where all this is leading. It was left to billionaire Warren Buffet to say that, of course, we are in a recession. He calls that call “common sense.” Of course it is.

90 Day Tania

I wil kill myself in 90 days - This is my decision as it is only mine to make. I honestly do not care about other people's feelings or opinions on this matter. There are many others online who are now doing this very same thing because it seems that I’ve set the trend for internet suicides, but I take no responsibility for this whatsoever.

I feel life has no greater purpose. We have no great war in our generation, no great depression, our great war is a war of the spirit, and our great depression is our lives. So, if I feel like saying "fuck it all", why can't I?

In this ‘last days’ diary of mine, you can read all about how I end my life in style, for example: you’ll find me quoting movies like Se7en and Fight Club and posting videos of which dress I might wear when I’ll do the deed. This way, I hope to set some standards for the internet suicide culture.

The Oppressors

Finally, the truth is seeping out. Contrary to how President George W. Bush has tried to justify the Iraq war in the past, he has now clumsily — if inadvertently — admitted that the invasion and occupation of Iraq was aimed primarily at seizing predominant influence over its oil by establishing permanent (the administration favors “enduring”) military bases.

He made this transparently clear by adding a signing statement to the defense appropriation bill, indicating that he would not be bound by the law’s prohibition against expending funds:

“(1) To establish any military installation or base for the purpose of providing for the permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq,” or
“(2) To exercise United States control of the oil resources of Iraq.”
