| Strain 121 | A collection of sounds I will never hear again
| Made into a collection of sounds you have never heard | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Clearly I.. I believe very strongly what..what our country has done, what President Bush has done in liberating the Iraqi people is.. an important act and..it serves their interest but most importantly one that..it's an important s-step--" | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Sir.. I mean the fact is, that September 11th really.. Okay I mean I- frankly my own reading of history is.. exactly this kind of tactic." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because if we'd gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone, there wouldn't have been anyone else with us, it would have been a "U.S." occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq. Once you got to Iraq and.. took over, took down Saddam Hussein's government, then what are you going to put in its place? That's a very volatile part of the world and if you take down the central government of Iraq you could easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off. Part of it.. the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of eastern Iraq - the Iranians would like to claim, fought over it for 8 years. In the North you've got the Kurds, if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey then you've threatened the territorial integrity of Turkey. And so, it's a Quagmire. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The other thing is casualties. Everybody was impressed with that fact that we were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had, but for the 146 Americans killed in action and for their families it wasn't a cheap war; and the question for the President in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad and took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many more dead Americans was Saddam Hussein worth? And our judgment was not very many, and I think we got it right. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I understand that, but if the.. alternative to.. scaring people even after we've tried hard to explain what it is we're thinking; if the alternative to that is abandoning our values and abandoning our own defense, then people are just going to have to live with whatever apprehension that we generate. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Everything that I am doing, I do absolutely legally. I don't care that.. Russia will have ANY base to create a case against me. But I-I am really afraid first of all, about people to whom I communicate, because I don't have any doubts that Putin the regime are criminal, and they are killing those who they consider as their..their personal enemy - because they identify themselves with Russia. And Putin will say "Understand those who are against the few are against all Russia." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to use FORCE to change this region, and because first of all - this region is ANTI-constitutional. It means that I have called to use force to.. RECREATE CONSTITUTIONAL REGIME again. It means that I am for Constitution, and Putin is AGAINST the Constitution. and understand that Putin created a totalitarian regime, I force, and present - there's NO chance to change that through those actions, and the only way is ..to use power. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...Turned him down and came to Los Angeles, where he got a job working for a man who sold Magnetic Walnuts, which was... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Good Morning, Mr. Beale. They tell me you're a madman. How are you now? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MAD AS A HATTER | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I started as a salesman, Mr. Beale. I sold sewing machines, automobile parts, airbrushes, and electronic equipment.. they say I can sell anything. I'd like to try to sell something to you. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Valhalla, Mr. Beale! Please, sit down. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE MR. BIEL, AND I WON'T HAVE IT. IS THAT CLEAR? YOU THINK YOU MERELY STOPPED A BUSINESS DEAL, THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THE ARABS HAVE TAKEN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT OF THIS COUNTRY, AND NOW THEY MUST PUT IT BACK. IT IS EBB AND FLOW, TIDAL GRAVITY, IT IS ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | YOU ARE AN OLD MAN WHO THINKS IN TERMS OF "NATIONS" AND "PEOPLES", THERE ARE NO NATIONS, THERE ARE NO PEOPLES, THERE ARE NO RUSSIANS, THERE ARE NO ARABS, THERE ARE NO THIRD WORLDS, THERE IS NO WEST. THERE IS ONLY ONE HOLISTIC SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS. ONE VAST AND AMAIN INTERWOVEN, INTERACTING, MULTIVARIED, MULTINATIONAL DOMINION OF DOLLARS. PETRODOLLARS, ELECTRODOLLARS, MULTIDOLLARS, REICHMARKS, REIMS, RUBLES, POUNDS & SHEKELS. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is.. the natural order of things today. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | THAT - IS THE ATOMIC - AND SUB-ATOMIC - AND GALACTIC STRUCTURE OF THINGS TODAY. AND YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE. AND YOU WILL ATONE. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Am I getting through to you Mr. Biel? You get up on your little Twenty-One-Inch Scree, and howl, about America & Democracy. There is no America. There is no "Democracy". There is only: IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, DuPont, DOW, Union-Carbide, and Exxon; those are the nations of the world today. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, min and max solutions, and compute the price cost probabilities of their transactions and investments - just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies Mr. Biel. The world is a... College of Corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable Bylaws of Business. The world... is a business Mr. Biel. It has been since Man crawled out of the slime. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | And our children will live, Mr. Biel, to see that.. perfect world: in which there is no war or famine, oppression or brutality. One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom.. amused. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | And I have chosen you, Mr. Biel, to preach this evangel. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Four [4], Three [3], Two [2], One [2]. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Q: Within the next Four [4] years, we will see the emergence of a new international order? : The beginning - the beginning.. of a New International Order. And we have to have.. some luck. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | He has to do certain things. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | But this President, who is so reviled by intellectuals, will emerge as one of the seminal Presidents of this.. of th-of this period. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HELLO!
