An object used as a fetish, a charm, or an amulet in West Africa. 2. The supernatural power ascribed to such an object. It's just possible God made Time endless so He might undertake to inventory all the ways He went wrong in His design of the mainstream media. Even with His ways, Wondrous to Behold, it might take more time to accomplish this than reshuffling the galaxies and digging a black hole in the universe with a pail and shovel. >>>Break<<< CULTWARD HO! The resemblance between voodoo and journalism is remarkable with the possible exception that in the rituals of media, chutzpa replaces incense. The Clinton/media ionization becomes less abstruse in consideration, journalism is not a profession, but a cult, although its ceremonies involve more ink than incense. Preparing for a ceremony to invoke the Spirit of Corruption Past (Clinton's Arkansas Governorship) a media rite-meister was heard to say, "We're okay for incense, but just to be on the safe side, send out for more bull excrement." Members of the media are each other's idols, which is an aggravated example of settling cheap. Over-compensated and deliciously smug, they are almost over- qualified to be a cult. Their article of faith is implicit belief in Bill Clinton. If that does not qualify them to be called a cult (or some other four- letter word) what does? He is the natural icon for cult worship because of his mastery of the bongo drums, something he can beat without having to "finish himself off." Clinton, a rogue moon, inserts easily into the constellation of omission, complicity and mediocrity that configures journalism as we know it. A principal difference between media and voodoo is the media does not sacrifice barnyard animals - it just misinforms them. In media cult ritual, the goat gets to live and the truth gets to die. >>>End Excerpt<<< All Rights Reserved � NewsMax.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And from http://prorev.com/indexa.htm >>>Begin<<< QUESTIONS THE SENATE MIGHT WISH TO ASK JAMES LYONS CLINTON'S LATEST FEDERAL JUDGE NOMINEE -- In the 1992 Clinton campaign, what did you hire private detective Jack Paladin for? -- Did you give any instructions as to what Mr. Paladin was to say to women alleged to have affairs with Clinton? -- Did these instructions include the use of any threats or intimidation as has been reported? -- In your 1992 report exonerating the Clintons in the Whitewater matter, why did you overstate the Clintons investment, thus, as the Wall Street Journal's Paul Gigot put it, "making it appear as if the Clintons were as much at risk as Jim McDougal?" -- Do you still believe, as you stated then, that the Clintons were merely passive investors? -- What do you think of the ethics of the Whitewater project, which resulted in over half of the purchases losing their property because of the financing system used? -- What discussions did you have with either of the Clintons prior to writing your 1992 report? -- You slept overnight at the White House on July 2, 1993. At the time, as later reported by the American Spectator, the Travelgate scandal was warming up and Vince Foster was thinking about hiring "his close friend Lyons to be his own attorney" in the matter. What conversations did you have with Foster concerning this matter and is it true that you had been scheduled to meet with him the day after he died? -- You visited White House aide Bruce Lindsey on July 22, two days after Foster's death. What did you discuss? -- On October 25, 1993 you called Webb Hubbell leaving a message: "Be in town tomorrow, get together on wed or thurs to discuss/review WDC docs." Why did you need to discuss Whitewater with Hubbell at this time? What did the two of you talk about? >>>End<<< A<>E<>R ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense." --Buddha + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled one is truly vanquished. -Johann Christoph Schiller, German Writer (1759-1805) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly. -Bertrand Russell + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Everyone has the right...to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
