PETER COYOTE RECOMMENDS TWO BOOKS
Subject:
TWO BOOKS
Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2002 01:20:59 -0700
From: "Peter Coyote" <wdprod@earthlink.net>
Organization: Wild Dog Productions
To: info@blacklistedjournalist.com
I'm
in Europe working and can't really keep up, but I want to suggest two (small )
but extremely interesting and provocative books.
The
first is called, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, by Greg Palast, an American
who writes for the London Guardian and Observer. It consists of two parts: the
corroborating data to demonstrate how the State of Florida (Jeb Bush/Katharine
Harris) illegally removed 57,000 voters (mostly black and democratic) from the
Florida rolls by hiring a company to search for felons and giving them strict
instructions not to set the match criteria to anything more rigorous than
"close" matches, despite assurances from the company that there would
be many errors made by doing so. Consequently "Fred Jones", a legal
voter, was thrown off because his name matched a felon named "F.
Jones" somewhere else.
The
second half of the book, consists of quotes from and analysis of IMF documents
'liberated' by disgruntled employees and explains precisely the
The
second book is called Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace---Why we are so hated
and it is by Gore Vidal. It chronicles, by name and date, the hundreds of
military sorties and campaigns the United States has initiated since World War
II, in the name of peace. It goes on to explain, simply and cogently, the ways
in which the Bush/Rumsfeld/Cheney junta is expanding government power and
trammeling the constitution under the rubric of fighting terrorism.
It
concludes, with a series of articles, including correspondence with Timothy
McVeigh, and by quoting named sources---General Patin, another man who invented
the neutron bomb---builds the case that the Oklahoma City bombing could not have
been carried out by McVeigh's bomb. States (according to Pentagon sources) that
there were 5 bombs in the building; that furthermore NO ATF AGENTS WENT TO WORK
THAT DAY; and that at best McVeigh was a patsy like Ruby, who took the credit
for reasons he articulates clearly in his correspondence to Vidal. Vidal
suggests that the real reason for the explosion was the passage of the pending
anti-terrorist legislation and then goes on to cite any number of other
instances where similar things have happened in the past. It is fascinating
reading, and a clear warning as to the intentions of "the Bushites" as
Vidal refers to them, in regards to our civil liberties.
Good
Reading.

FIRMER LIFTED DERRIERES, ANYONE?
Subject:
Hot Pants?
Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2002 06:32:16 -0700 (PDT)
From: johndavidisme@yahoo.com
To: Al Aronowitz info@blacklistedjournalist.com
Ya
Know?I don't mind the junk catalogs so much anymore. It's perversely Patriotic
feeling relief that most of the products are foreign. Although the Lace curtains
in today's Catalog would look charming in a funeral parlor in Maine. And the
chrome Shoes could be exciting on the one in the casket. I’d even try to
understand the lawn pinwheel with blades of American Flags as idiotically
current. But if I was the editor I wouldn't put the {LOVELY LIFT} “Pre-shaped
Panty for a shapely firmer lifted derriere", next to the Bake A Donut
machine Ad. {At least not in the Summer}.

GUTHRIE SAYS THANKS
Subject:
Thanks mate!
Date: 8 Aug 2002 11:19:42 -0800

To: "Al Arnowitz" <info@blacklistedjournalist.com>
Al
- I am so pleased by your presentation of my work - thanks again for including
me in this fashion. I love and respect the way you added a 'Hammond says' to my
bio sentence vs. a blanket endorsement here. Astute and cautious as you should
be at this virtual distance. One of
the many things I learned from "Hube the Cube" was a sense of 'Beat
Protocol,' where it really is best to have one's 'bona fides' in order before
(perhaps even tenaciously) stepping into someone else's sphere of life endeavor.
I truly enjoy, learn from, and greatly appreciate your gestures of
encouragement.
Please
write whenever time allows.
AsEver,
Hammond

ANOTHER E FROM DANNY BASALONE
Subject:
Re: John Hammond remembered
Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 20:30:29 EDT
From: DDBLaLuna1@aol.com
To: info@blacklistedjournalist.com
Al,
Thank
you for your reply.
I
realize now that I didn't read "David Bowie and Tattler Bob" on line,
but from a copy a mutual friend had given me about 10 years ago along with
"Bird's Christmas".
My
name is Danny Basalone. Along with my family, I moved from Roselle Park NJ to
Berkeley Heights in 1953 when I was 6 years old. My family moved into a new
ranch style house on Park Avenue, surrounded by other Italian-Americans on their
way to a better life.... As my Newark relatives called it then, "the
sticks".
I
went to grammar school with Mike Rosa and high school with Thom Lynch, his
younger sister and brother, Patty and Kenny and Charlie Larkey from
Mountainside, names I'm sure you recognize. We all hung out together at the
Dairy Queen. Mike and Charley introduced me to Rick Phillips, Dave Palmer and
Danny Mancellino. "The King Bees". We were all crazy for "The
Stones" and naturally that led me to Muddy Waters et al.
I
was completely wrapped up in the then current "scene" and that and the
music has and continues to greatly impact my life. I loved hanging out in
"the Village" visiting my sister on West 4th Street what could be a
hipper address after Dylan immortalized it?) going to Folk City, The Dugout and
Cafe Au GoGo.
Afterwards
I married Thom’s sister Patty and we've been together 32 years living happily
in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
So
we have some shared experiences.

You Think A Gallon Of Gas Is Expensive? This makes one
think, and puts things in perspective.
Diet Snapple 16 oz. $1.29 -- $10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz. $1.19 -- $ 9.52 per gallon
Gatorade 20 oz. $1.59 -- $10.17 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz. $1.25 -- $10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 -- $33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 -- $178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 -- $123.20 per gallon
Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 -- $25.42 per gallon
Scope Mouthwash 1.5 oz $0.99 -- $84.48 per gallon
and this is the REAL KICKER......
Evian water 9 oz for $1.49 -- $21.19 per gallon. $21.19 a gallon
FOR WATER!... and the buyers don't even know the source.
So, the next time you're at the pump, be glad your car
doesn't run on water, Scope, Whiteout, or Heaven forbid, PEPTO BISMOL or
NYQUIL!!!!
Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip
to the pump. ##
