Dark horse and dead cattle

We live in a political world, love don't have any place
We're living in times when men commit crimes
And crime don't have a face

I never like to disagree with Bob Dylan, but I will here, about a couple of things.

It's not a political world, it just looks that way. Politics merely dresses the set. Like the curtains, tables and chairs promoting the illusion of freedom, which Frank Zappa said hid the brick wall at the back of the theatre. And that reminds me of another set, from the film Dark City. The hero has spent half the movie searching for "Shell Beach," which he believes will solve the mystery in which he finds himself. Shell Beach proves an illusion; nothing but a fading poster on a brick wall.

If you've seen the film, you know the solution to the mystery is found behind the wall.



And Dylan got it wrong here, too: crime does have a face. High Crimes, even. We know the faces of the perpetrators; they're well known. That they are rewarded rather than punished does not render them anonymous.

Here's a story from Sunday night that makes Dylan's mistakes several times over:

Woodward Calls Cheney a "Serious" Dark Horse for 2008 Run for White House

A trial balloon for a Cheney for President run in 2008 is being launched by a surprising source, Washington Post star reporter (and White House insider) Bob Woodward.

Appearing on Chris Matthews' NBC talk show on Sunday, Woodward labeled Vice President Cheney "a serious dark horse candidate." He said that with "a number of people" going for the GOP nomination, "a guy named George Bush might come out and say 'What about Dick?'"

Woodward observed that "there's a serious vacuum right now," with Senators Frist, Brownback, and Allen leading the field, some say.

There may be a precedent for this. Cheney, who was put in charge of finding a suitable VP candidate in 2000, ended up getting the nod himself.


Why, after all this time, should Woodward be considered a "surprising source"? Woodward has been an insider all his life. A conservative insider, even; hardwired into military intelligence. He adapted his Wheaton commencement address from Barry Goldwater's The Conscience of a Conservative. After hearing Woodward speak in class, his Yale political science professor called him a "crypto-fascist." Woodward went to work as a Pentagon briefing officer. (In The Secret Team, Fletcher Prouty - who himself had been a briefer - writes that "one of the most interesting and effective roles is that played by the behind-the-scenes, faceless, ubiquitous briefing officer," who has "almost daily" access to executive power.) One of Woodward's tasks, which he denies, was to brief Alexander Haig.

Watergate is regarded as a conspiracy that failed, and which established, for all time - his record of the past 30 years notwithstanding - Woodward's credentials as a hardnosed and even liberal journalist. But the public story contains a good deal of spin, which spins away from Washington's intelligence community. And that seems to have been the intention of Woodward, the Spook. (This takes us beyond the scope of this post; I'll refer you to Jim Hougan's Secret Agenda and Colodny and Gettlin's Silent Coup for more on Watergate's - and Bob Woodward's - hidden history.)

Cheney, the "Dark Horse." If politics mattered in America - hell, if American politics were real - this would be laughable. But Democrats were laughing last Fall, too, as George W Bush stammered and chicken-danced and melted through three debates with a mystery box strapped to his back, and still won. He has the lowest approval of any second term president. Homer, on last Sunday's Simpsons, called him "Commander Cuckoobananas." The exit polls - well, you know where I'm going.

The Bush/Cheney election, and its re-election, were massive and in-your-face frauds. The Emperor has no votes. And even those who can see it generally behave as though they can't. Will they act differently when "Dark Horse" Dick Cheney assumes executive power in his own right? That's a campaign poster on the brick wall. Take a pick axe to the wall, and see what's behind it.

Here's something I didn't know until recently: Dick Cheney visited Roswell, New Mexico on October 24, 2000. A few days before, there was this local story:

Mysterious Mass Death of Cattle in New Mexico

Twenty-four cattle were found dead under mysterious circumstances in Roswell, New Mexico on Thursday morning, October 19, 2000.

"Rancher Marcelo Macias doesn't know what happened to his herd of cows, but he knows he's out of a lot of money."

"Macias said 24 cows died mysteriously last week at his farm."

"The cattle were all healthy when he checked them at midnight Wednesday (October 19, 2000) but by early Thursday morning (October 19, 2000) nearly half of his herd lay dead."


Maybe our politics are not very well informed by literary devices like pathetic fallacies. Maybe dead cattle are just dead cattle. (Dead squid, too, like those noted in a comment yesterday, that "hundreds of dead large squid" had washed up in Orange County, California, as Bush made his likely unconscious allusion to the cephalopodic Cthulhu.) But mysterious cattle deaths and mutilations appear to be one of those junctions where black magick and UFO phenomenon meet. They seem, in part, to be ritually prefiguring. (Remember that the night before the murder of Father Alfred Kunz, who threatened to expose a Satanic cult of paedophiles in the Catholic Church of Wisconsin, a cow on a nearby farm had its throat slashed and blood drained into a pail, its hind legs cut through, and its genitals removed.)

I don't know about Roswell. But Dick Cheney carries about him the frisson of High Weirdness and cultic bruatality. In April 2001 Cheney was asked if he had been briefed on UFOs. He replied "Well if I had been briefed on it, I'm sure it was probably classified, and I couldn't talk about it." Rather than lie he prevaricates, and sends the message that he's an insider. And, of course, much deeper than Woodward.

If Cheney becomes president in name, and if he lives so long, he will see in, and see out, 2012. Are you prepared for that?

Linda Moulton Howe reports an interesting abduction case from Colorado in An Alien Harvest, her study of mutilation and UFO phenomenon. A couple were driving north of Denver the week before Thanksgiving in 1980. The husband, who had worked as an Air Force launch control officer, reported a "cerulean blue light" surrounded the car, and they lost track of time. Under hypnosis, husband and wife both recounted how they were then beckoned aboard something by a tall figure in a blue robe with high collar. They felt unable to resist. Once on board they were separated: the woman had a vaginal exam (she was, though she didn't know it at the time, a month pregnant), and the man had his mind probed. He felt his thoughts stripped out his head: "I've got it, but they've got it, too. Got the whole thing. They've just pulled everything right out of me!"

He fell silent for several minutes, and then began to speak in a whisper, saying his mind was being put back. But something had been added:

There's more to it than anybody knows. There's more to life, more to the world. There's more to everything than anybody knows. More dimensions, things co-existing. There are other dimensions...more than three dimensions. Everywhere, it all works together. Everything co-exists. There's different dimensions we can't go into.

Welcome to Shell Beach.

I think you're giving Cheney far too much credit. Have you seen the CBC's "Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney"? I don't know where he would have found the time to immerse himself in the study of the Black Arts, between flunking out of Yale (twice), dodging the draft (six times), marrying his Wyoming highschool sweet-heart (the equally unimpressive Lynne) and toadying up to all the right people in his long, slow climb up the shit-heap of American right-wing politics.

At his core, it seems to me Cheney is just an amoral hayseed who played his cards right.

I DO agree that a super-political aparat operates above the mundane sphere of government. And I also agree that this level is populated by dangerous people with dangerous beliefs.

But I think Cheney is just as much of a tool of these people as is Dubya.

Could be, but I'm still thinking Schwarzenegger '08 (after the requisite change to the constitution of course). What better way to deflect cries of "nazi!" than have an Austrian actor play the role?

I fail to connect both incidents. The cows died of unexplained cause on the 19th, no mention of mutilation IIRC or missing parts. Cheney came to the place on the 24th. In case his friends from the local chapter of Satans Church killed the cows in his honor it stands to reason that they would have taken something with them, like body fluids, or at least a plain old piece of prime quality beef.

Would you please explain in a more understandable way how Cheney would be linked to something that happened 4 days before he came to the place ? I know some people swear Cheney is a reptilian - I'd be inclined to give them credit if 'reptilian' is understood to stand for 'asshole', but surely not if it's to say the guy uses cow fluids on his skin in lieu of eating. Please don't loose the floor under your feet.

From what I've read on other websites, the Clintons and the Bushes are allies, and have trafficked drugs together. And if it's also true that Bush Sr. basically ran the show while Reagan was president, it means we've had either a Bush or Clinton in charge for the past 25 years. I bet you we get screwed again in 2008 when we get a "choice" between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.

This "democracy" charade is getting on my nerves. But I suppose you've got to keep up appearances.

Jerky, I didn't see the CBC program, but Dick Cheney scares me way more than George Bush. For one, he can put a complete sentence together without making up any words. If the box on Bush's back is the antenna, Cheney's the one with the remote control.

That said, I do find the cattle mutilation linkage a bit loose, though why pick Roswell, N.M., for one's barnstorming, unless you need to touch base with your Area 51 lieutenants? Or simply with George Yates, powerful oilman, as he did in 2002?

As for the cattle, the official story is that they were poisoned: The day after Cheney left, the results were back from the veterinarian. The aliens, it appeared, had not been involved in the deaths. It was determined that the deaths had been caused by poisoning. The vet suspected that the cattle had been poisoned by a weed that had found its way into the bails of hay causing nitrate poisoning.

W.'s promise (from the linked stories above) that the government (and specifically Cheney) would make UFO disclosure their first priority strikes me as downright patronizing. "Yeah, we'll get to that, right after we tell you who shot JFK..."

For the record - Woodward was in the the Yale sister society of spookdom skull and bones called Book and Snake.

He was also in the same naval intel unit as Lee Harvey Oswald (though some years later)

A previous comment said that the cattle had been poisoned. However, I would like to address the issue of cattle mutilation. I can't remember if I saw this on TV or if I read it, but there was coverage of the cattle mutilations awhile back. There was a DA in northern New Mexico who was investigating the cattle mutilations. One thing that was brought up was that the government does regular testing of animals in New Mexico. They check them for radioactive exposure due to long ago nuclear testing done in New Mexico. They are supposed to do this check on wild animals, but since wild animals are much harder to catch, there is a theory that the government uses rancher's cows. They are like sitting ducks, and if they pass it off as UFO activity they won't be held responsible. Medical people confirmed that the organs that were taken from the cows were the ones where higher levels of radioactive contamination would be found.

Anyway, the theory was that the government was/is using their quieter helicopters to acost the cattle and remove their organs for study. This is something that is illegal, but hey, if you blame it on aliens or satanic cults you don't have to pay the ranchers for their cows.

I have no idea what happend in New Mexico but cattle death and mutilation has been traditonally explained by disgrunted neighbors- human or "that other crowd".

That is it can be local politics or fairies. In both cases the purpose of mutialtion is to underline that it was no accident or ordinary thievery or hungry animals.

Somebody wants your attention and you better understand who and why. You probably already do. Like the horses head in the bed in The Godfather.

It is frightening but totally different from the fear caused by Cheney or chaos.

Did you happen to notice how blatantly similar Dark City and The Matrix begin? Another film anyone interested in this genre of films which could be considered Gnostic in theme is The City of Lost Children. I promise you will enjoy it. Also, Isn’t it interesting that one of the main agendas in The Matrix is to save Sion / Zion, and that the scary dark horses here in the “real” world are typically devout Zionists. So now there’s this little seed floating around in the subconscious of everyone who saw The Matrix that Sion / Zion is the last hope for humanity. Luckily there’s not a global threat to the little planet we call home, at least not yet.

“I doubt that George W Bush knew, as he delivered his speech at the "Celebration of Freedom" concert on the eve of his second inaugural, that its most memorable line was straight out of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. His speech writers also were likely unaware that their prose evoked nothing so much as the "Great Old Ones" from beyond space and time. But that's the thing about a myth, even one created by a pulp fiction writer: you needn't even know it exists to become a part of it.

“Lovecraft's apocalypse is of awakened Elder Gods who resume their rule of Earth when humanity becomes sufficiently like them: "free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy”

On the other hand, what if the “elites” are wrong. They have created “Elder Gods” in their own image to justify their “divine right” to rule over us. They (and only they) are entitled to live “wild and free” and “beyond good and evil” but “the Devil is in the details…”

Perhaps that may explain why they are involved in a grand conspiracy to prevent us mere mortals from realizing our own potential to experince divinity.

http://www.ufoskeptic.org/

“I am willing to entertain the possibility that the UFO phenomenon is real and that it may be a manifestation of something even more profound than visits by beings from other planets. This view is typically dismissed outright by my fellow scientists as New Age claptrap, but in fact the ideas are anything but new. In his book "Alien Identities: Ancient Insights into Modern UFO Phenomena" mathematician and Vedic scholar Richard Thompson discusses such concepts as recorded in the world's most ancient writings.

“All religious traditions have taught that there are other realities and dimensions beyond the material universe… If the religious traditions are correct, there is an infinitely potent creator and a vast hierarchy of realms and intelligent beings: we human beings inhabiting a universe of physical matter are nowhere near the top of this "great chain of being." There has been interaction at some level between these realms and beings and the human race throughout history: sometimes benevolent, sometimes not so benevolent, more often than not simply neutral …
“Physics as we know it would be only the most elementary way to understand and influence matter. There are said to be many other intelligent beings who can shape and control matter using nothing but conscious ideation, and that is the source of the seemingly bizarre UFO encounters. (This is actually a latent ability of ours as well, which feebly manifests at present as psychic phenomena.)
“The two important things to realize would be that matter is not primary, consciousness is; and that we ourselves are transcendent beings who only temporarily inhabit material bodies, which we then mistake for our essence …”

“Assuming some form of quasi-official "contact" has taken place … there would appear to be three reasons why it will have taken decades for such "contact" to come fully into the open. The first reason is that economic and political systems based on greed, exploitation and materialism -- which characterize most modern human societies -- are incompatible with the abilities mankind will develop when the true nature of consciousness becomes apparent.

“The world power structure will have to change significantly after contact, and of course there is strong resistance to doing that. The second reason is that most of mankind's religious institutions will be severely jolted. Organized religions with their contradictory dogmas will be extremely challenged by the actual facts of spiritual reality. Finally, the need to maintain secrecy by the small clandestine elements of the US and some other governments that came to be involved was enforced much more harshly in the past than now. Unfortunately, the need to keep the lid on this volatile information was thought to be so strong that unsavory actions -- euphemistically called "wet ops" in the clandestine world -- took place in the past.”
