         <title>Memory</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>"Darwin is most probably right from his own point of view, i.e., in the sense that in the notorious 'nature of man' we cannot find a single feature not seen first in some species of animal, and that for this reason, we have absolutely no grounds for designating man as some kind of unique creature, or, in other words, for placing him in a special 'kingdom'."</p>

<p><em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Plekhanov">Plekhanov</a></em></p>

<p>However across different species some features more than others are more disproportionately augmented.  In humans memory is one such feature that has been historically developed along with the prefection of auxiliary means that social humans have worked out in the process of their cultural life. As Vygotsky point out, human memory is perfected in as much as systems of writing - systems of signs and their usage. Vygotsky and his marxist contemporaries i.e. Plekhanov were keen to point out that the development of human memory became subject to external forces with the development of writing, and thus driven by changes in human culture.  This drive is realized as a reason for the distinction between thel memory in primitve and modern humans. The distinction being the natural eidetic memroy of primitive humans as compared to the mnemonic memory of modern humans. As though  the development of writing freed huamn memory from the perceptual load of the environment in primitive cultures, thereby affording modern humans the capability to more readily utilize symbols in manipulating and abstraction of ideas.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Neocon Vs. Neocon</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today Iran has ignored once again another UN passed resolution deadline for ending uranium enrichment which Tehran maintains is a necessary and sovereign right of the Iranian nation's nuclear ambitions. <br />
Surprise, surprise! For the first time in roughly two years of diverse news coverage of drama between Washington & Tehran the Irish Scotsman describes the unfolding story in the appropriate context. That of hostility and arrogance passed to and fro the respective neo-conservative regimes. In well informed circles in the United States it is known that the neocon movement is the culmination of Straussian political  philosophy and reactions of conniving e.g. Donald Rumsfeld, conservative politician to liberalism. Beginning in the 1960's a similar reaction to liberalism took hold in Egypt inspired by Saeed Kotub, whose Jihadist ideology paved  the way for militant Islamists like Aymen Zwahari. The premise of the neocon movements was to lead their populous out of what Strauss & Kotub deemed the rippling clutches of liberalism. The means by which the different schools of neoconservatives managed to establish their brands of governance was based on targeted propaganda and violence aimed at propagating social myths, fears, and tensions.<br />

     you might not wake up in the morning.</em><br />
Dan Gillerman, Israeli UN Security Council Amb.</p>

<p>The fact of that matter depends on the girth of the arsenal;<br />
on whether the stick is wielded by insurgents, proxy or<br />

For bankers everything is negotiable;<br />
while killing goes on.<br />
Crooks mascrading governments perpetuate<br />
permanent economies of guns and no-fat butter.</p>

<p>Terror,<br />
A real reality,  <br />

unconscious feces dropped by thinkers<br />
in tanks of impudent imbeciles.<br />
Self-prolcaimed experts on nonesense,<br />
creating conflicts vis-à-vis terror. </p>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Excerpt <a href="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/worldopinionroundup/2006/07/north_korea_in_the_eyes_of_ira.html">North Korea in the Eyes of Iran</a><br />
<blockquote>Iran is neither Iraq under Saddam Hussein nor North Korea under Kim Il Song and Kim Jung Il. Iran is a very important geo-political, geo-strategic and geo-economic power regionally and internationally. <u>Iranians do not deserve the humiliation associated with referral to the UN Security Council and being branded as a pariah within the international community</u>.</blockquote></p>

<p>No! The Iranian government pans out enough humiliation for Iranians the world over. It is not a question of whether or not Iranians deserve more shame but rather a question of saturation.  Iraq had only one Saddam Hussein and North Korea only one Kim as dictator at a given moment.  Iran has an entire supreme council of zealots pulling the strings of one fanatic president.  Surely the barrels of Islamo-nationalist propaganda consumed by Iranians at the hands of these tyrants can only prime public sentiment for hostility against any sort of action or criticism passed by an International body; especially in light of the fact that the Islamic Republic is quick to silence the voices of reason or skepticism towards its policies. Obviously a government bent on power and the cultivation of theocracy, a government that freely violates the civil & humane rights of all its citizens, has a singular agenda for nuclear capabilities.  This agenda cannot be for peaceful purpose, but rather for the ability to wield at will friction and conflict on the geo-political, geo-strategic and geo-economic stages. Iran is vying for power on an international field occupied by powers using terror as justification for the spread of their own brands of democracy & capitalism.  What better piece for Iran to have than the ability to take hostage terror at will?</p>]]></description>

         <title>Mahmoud In Nuremburg</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://ak47.lanternblog.com/Images/Najadi.jpg" alt="Scratching his head" /></p>

<p>United Press International reports that German officials have yet to recieve word on whether Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to go to Nuremburg to watch the Iranian national team play in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.  As you might know <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremburg">Nuremburg</a> during Hitlers reign was a major shrine for National Socialists who held who held their annual party congresses nearby from 1933 through 1938. The city became a center of anti-Semitic propaganda, including the famous Nuremberg rallies captured in <em>Leni Riefenstahl's</em> 1934 film <em>Triumph of the Will</em>.   <br />
Rumor has it that Mahmoud is currently occupied assembling a team of Holocaust experts armed with forensics briefcases for the purposes of conducting scientific research that will conclusively put an end to Isreal.  Amongst the inventory of cutting edge equipment members of this high-level team will be putting to use in pursuit of the truth this summer are; tweazers, magnifying glasses, latex gloves, infra-red flash lights, soap, tank-tops, walnuts & goat cheese, and fresh basil.  It is also said that Mahmoud also intends to document his trip to Nuremburg in order to learn and examine the soul of Christianity while in the heartland of Europe.  With the knowledge gained he will soon pen the Gospels of Ahmadinejad in order to recapitulate righteousness for lost Christians souls in the World.  Hand written versions of the Gospels of Ahmadinejad in No. 8B graphite are expected in every major book vendor in Qom , Abadan, and large rural areas where the Iranian government is pushing empowerment through knowledge.  <br />
Europeans and their American counterparts are eagerly looking forward to his Highness' visit to the continent.  Europe and the United States have reportedly set up a joint operations room to deal with the Iranian delegations.  </p>]]></description>
