July 9, 2004

           It was this date that the people who investigate such things (Senate Intelligence Committee) ruled that the US government (Bush) and the CIA had completely and knowingly falsified the reasons for the invasion of Iraq. Note that the term "invasion" is the correct one, not the "peacekeeping" or "liberation" metaphors used for other wars. This time the US sent troops to permanently occupy the ground and enforce a political system upon them. That is an invasion. All of this information was nationally televised.
           July 9, 2004 was not, historically-speaking, all that colorful of a day. I even tried looking it up on the trivia sites. Nothing. But if, like myself, you spot the distinctive "Aussie accent" as being Irish at its core, there is something to that. Today in 1791, the first lot of transported convicts to Australia. And they were all Irishmen.
           I see an uptick in popularity of these "space photos", but keep in mind, all them belong to somebody else. Here is an interesting photo from the middle of May this year. This is heavy material for the "face on Mars" people. This photo shows the interior of a crater where the sand dunes form this pattern. It is called the "brain" crater. Now get this, it is almost precisely the right size and shape to fit inside the "face". How's that for coincidence?
           Or is it now?
