9-11

[Dr. Medulla]

so nothing on the latter or the former. i just offered up verifiable information for mossad being 'involved' and you offered none for the bogeymen.

I remember right after Oklahoma City that there were all kinds of people saying it was Arabs, they heard about Arabs celebrating, etc, etc.

Since 9-11 that's pretty much an accepted fact for the talk-radio crowd 'round these parts.

Are there any people who look evening vaguely Arabic within 250 miles of Oklahoma?

Used to be plenty of Arabs going to OU (a premier institute for petroleum engineering), saw a lot of them when I started college in '03. The numbers dwindled...I assume it is harder for Arabs to get student visas. Thier numbers have been replaced by Asian students. Most international students are either getting into petroleum engineering or meteorology.

A lot of observers—I'm thinking mainly of Chalmers Johnson right now, tho—have pointed to the Bush administration's xenophobic immigration policy and hostility to science as yet another significant nail in the coffin of America's future prosperity. Given how gutted public education has become, foreign students has become a needed resource for intellectual competitiveness. And now they've been given the finger because they're born with a tan and the wrong religion.

Well, I drove through there once, and I got searched a few times when I had a tan.

Maybe it was your Jewish locks and Lenin cap.

Lenin cap, yes.....locks no. Except for the shack-living types, and a weird classical conservative I know (yeah...stupid), most Oklahomans would love to meet a real, live Israelite. They are extremely pro-Israel.

"Our ally against godless A-Rab Moozlums" reasons or "they're needed to bring on The Rapture" reasons?

Both. You can't imagine how many people were reading those left-behind books when i was in high-school. The sense of excitment before a new volume was released was palpable (I'm talking stories on the local news).

Yeesh. I've kind of wanted to read one of those books (in the same way that I'd like to read Dianetics) but I can't bear the thought of spending any money on it or the social awkwardness of getting it from the library.

Wow, Pennsyltucky local news seems downright cosmopolitan compared to that, even considering its 10 minutes of hunting stories per 30 minute newscast during hunting season.

Dianetics is awesome.

Dianetics is awesome.

Is it at least readable?

Best read aloud in a car full of people. The example auditing sessions are great!

Bless you, L. Ron, for keeping the oral tradition alive. Here's my bank account information.

Go read Sex and Rockets (and Strange Angel too, maybe? I haven't read it yet). Jack Parsons's dealings with L. Ron were extraordinary.

Alrighty—I'll keep it in mind.

Really good shit. Some background in Crowley and rocket science could help, but still readable nevertheless.

If I remember, for those of us in red states, it was like when a new Harry Potter book was released. Back in 2000, when I was in the hospital for my brown recluse bite and subsequent kidney failure, my dad was in my room and started reading one of those books (LB, not HP). I was like, "Dad, what the fuck are you doing?" He thought it was just a run of the mill thriller a la Grisham.
