I read zerdna's version. He basically told me as Stanislavsky "I don't believe it". I feel I need to rewrite my stuff , trying to merge some of his ideas into the picture that I had in mind. Did anybody notice that White House changed their official account of events at least few times during last few days? WTF?

There's nothing unusual about you writing and re-writing fictionQuoteDid anybody notice that White House changed their official account of events at least few times during last few days? WTF?Perhaps they took a leaf out of your book? Actually it's much more mundane. While watching events at the White House they apparently had no audio. So they could see (and probably a very fuzzy dis-jointed picture) but not hear. In their rush to get the maximum publicity by interrupting everyone watching "the Apprentice", they jumped to conclusions about what they saw (or believed some militarist's fantasy of what they wanted to know). Then once they got the first-hand verbal reports they were able to clarify things. Of course, this doesn't prove any of it is true, it just shows how silly people can invent conspiracies on the flimsiest of evidence.

Why are you trashing them in front of "capitalist pigs"? Or this is just your Alzheimer's symptoms kicked in?

And relying on sexual innuendo to express one's bigotry is a sure sign of sexual immaturity and inadequacy.I say, referring to your sexual inadequacy in public is most distasteful. Did your mother not teach you any manners, what?Apparently I hit the target there to provoke such an improvised and pathetically stupid reaction.I say, which target would that be, dear boy? You talked about your sexual inadequacy in a public forum. That is a most uncouth topic, especially when we were not forewarned. Hence my question to you whether your mother had taught you any manners. If she never did, then now might be the time to beg her to do so. It is never to late to learn. After all, manners maketh man, what?
I learned two things at drama school. First, that I couldn't act; second, that it didn't matter.

I am forever amazed at the inability of some of the morons on this forum to understand simple English. In Errrb's case it might be explicable by the fact that, presumably being an Israeli fascist, English is not his first language. But in Wilfrid's case, it's clearly a case of willful misunderstanding to avoid the obvious -- a trick tp sow confusion he no doubt learned in an English public school the first time he was caught masturbating.

*NEWS FLASH*He's still dead!!!!Shouldn't this news cycle have moved on yet? Even the conspiracy theories are boring. I'm only checking this thread in case Errrb publishes the much demanded sequel, "Usama Mexican Jesus, Last Supper - Part 2, this time it's biblical"

Due to popular demand, below is the Part2 (The return of Joker)========================================================CAST and COSTUMES: QADDAFI: homeless man with a golden teeth, living on a lawn next to White House USAMA bin LADEN: dressed in a joker outfit, half of the face is missing OBAMA: in a pink slippers shaped as a ducks HILLARY CLINTON: dressed as a cheap hooker but with old fashioned teacher glasses WHITE HOUSE SITUATION ROOMObama and Hillary sit on the couch. Obama is watching "Sesame Street" on a huge screen, his foots are on the table where top secret documents are commingled with old copies of "Playboy". Obama is taking a huge chunk of popcorn from enormous plate and throws it into his mouth, then he scratches the balls with the same hand and gets some more. Hillary wants popcorn also, she looks at Obama scratching his balls, then at the plate, at the end she decides to light a cigarette. OBAMA (coughing): Fuck it, Hilly, where did you get such shitty pot?HILLARY: It's "Gitanes", french cigarettes. OBAMA (with french accent): Remind me, tomorrow, when I sign the marihuana legalization bill to exclude this "merde" from it. HILLARY: Faggot!OBAMA (with estranged voice): "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made." said Immanuel Kant. HILLARY: Did you just call me, cunt? My balls are bigger than yours!OBAMA (mumbling): No, hmm, it's Immanuel.HILLARY: Another horn dog. Qaddafi knocks on the door from outside. QADDAFI (weak voice): My son, Baracka, open the door. OBAMA: I'm not here!HILLARY: Who the fuck is this?OBAMA: Nobody, just an old bum who is bulling the kids in the neighborhood. Hillary quickly opens the door inside and surprised Qaddafi falls on the couch into the plate with popcorn. Qaddafi starts grabbing popcorn with both dirty hands. QADDAFI (chewing with full mouth to Hillary): Do I know you? Ah, of course, you are one of Bill Clinton's wife's. HILLARY (blowing smoke rings): What's up Mu? Got any new good records?Sound of loud explosion Usama bin Laden jumps into the room with AK47. Hillary screams, Obama and Qaddafi hide under the couch.USAMA (in arabic to Hillary): Why such sad, cuntface? HILLARY (to Obama and Qaddafi): What did he say?QADDAFI (with strong accent): He said he likes your outfit and he asks you to puff your cigarette. HILLARY (giggling, to Gaddafi): Please, tell him that it's NKI. Usama is trying to smoke, but the hole is his face is too big and cigarette falls on the floor. USAMA (in fluent english looking at the floor): This is the shag rag from my house! OBAMA: Oopsy Daisy! We had to get some proof, you know, some of your DNA to match, hmmm.USAMA (screaming): You want my DNA?! I'm gonna give you some.Usama unzips his fly and starts chasing Obama around the situation room. Qaddafi laughs demonically, Hillary gets the TV remote and starts switching channels with bored face. THE END

Usama: The Mexican Jesus - from Revolution to Evolution to Counter-Revolution and Back Again(Excerpt)...You may notice that the countries I have just mentioned were the very ones that made up the Axis of Terror during the late 20th century. I am personally convinced that this is the main reason the phenomenon took the form it did: the propaganda of the terrorists, on the few occasions when they could be bothered to cobble together a manifesto, showed an almost neurotic need to "resist authority" in a way that their parents' generation had so terribly failed to do. And this was also a brilliant way of placing the authorities on the defensive and luring them into a moral trap. Afghanistan in the late 1990s was not actually holding any political prisoners. Or was it? Well then, just to be assured of access to the subversive system, we will commit violent crimes for political reasons and go to prison for them, and then there will be a special wing of the prison for us, and then the campaign to free the political prisoners by violence can get under way. This will strip the mask from the pseudo-autocratic state and reveal the Al-Qaedan skull beneath its skin. (In a rather witty move that implicitly phrases all this in reverse, the makers of Usama the Mexican Jesus have cast Matt Damon as the insane but efficient head of American "homeland security," a man who tries to "understand" his opponents even as he weaves the net ever closer around them. It hardly requires a conscious effort to remember Damon's compelling rendition of the part of Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy several years back.)It doesn't take long for the sinister ramifications of the "complex" to become plain. Consumerism is equated with Capitalism so that the bombing of anything from the World Trade Center to big name department stores can be justified. Ecstatic violence and "action" become ends in themselves. There is, as with all such movements, an uneasy relationship between sexuality and cruelty, and between casual or cynical attitudes to both. As if curtain-raising a drama of brutality that has long since eclipsed their own, the middle-aged but hedonistic American politicians, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the slightly older W, take themselves off to the Middle East in search of the real thing and the real training camps, and discover to their dismay that their Arab hosts are not only fanatical - they are somewhat puritanical as well. Nevertheless their blood is as red as anyone else's. This is the point that the film reveals in the final stunning scene.Christopher Hitchens, as retold by trackstarVanity Fair, June 2011

Us capitalism's response to 9/11 has added more than $1trn to the US deficit and will have to be paid for by tax-payers. Much as I admire most of Hitchens's work, Bin Laden obviously understood something Hitchens doesn't.

I appreciate Hitchens insights nevertheless and it was truly a pleasure to collaborate with him in producing this piece about Usama: The Mexican Jesus.(I saw no need to add my name to the byline - generally best to let the big gun take all of the public credit.) **On further reflection: I guess I should though, so Hitchens does not start getting hate mail from select Wilmotters for this "film review".

Not to distract from the second act of mexican Jesus, or no doubt long discussion to follow of difficult psychological problems our friend Fermion faces. Since i had a discussion with CrashMint about amount of firefight, state of affect the Seals were in, etc, here is a relevant quote from AP today -- the dust seems to settle on this version."Only one of the five people killed in the raid that got Osama bin Laden was armed and fired any shots, a senior defense official said Thursday, acknowledging the new account differs greatly from original administration portrayals of a chaotic, intense and prolonged firefight.The sole shooter in the al-Qaida leader's Pakistani compound was quickly killed in the early minutes of the commando operation, details that have become clearer now that the Navy SEAL assault team has been debriefed, the official"

I am curious as to why you picked on Hitchens for your doppelganger -- but glad to see you taking the fall for something that could easily have come from Hitchens's keyboard, given his well-known yet irrational apostasy towards the left.
