apocalypse when?

Doesn’t this look like fun?

(posted by tobias)
OK boys and girls, today’s Storytime Reading is about The Apocalypse. Now I know you’ve all heard about it, and maybe have some questions, and we at Broken Saints are here to help.

The photo at right is from a lovely page on Rotten which I found kinda fun. But the real reason I’m posting is to draw attention once again to the fantastic Maureen Farrell, who puts things in a very chilling current perspective for us as usual.

What can we do about all of this? Probably nothing, but at least we have the Daily Kos to put our helpless shame into searingly eloquent words for us… but (and this is the shameless plug part of the post, you knew it was coming) if you find yourself getting bored just hanging around waiting, the least I can do is suggest a suitable soundtrack

Almost as good as The Shining one from a few months back!

Wonder if Lynch is having a giggle right now?

Coke, Porn…and 9/11? Sheen gets TRULY ballsy.

March 21st, 2006

The original story was linked and seen by millions on Conservative mouthpiece The Drudge Report yesterday evening.

It was pulled soon afterwards. (I use that term, in relation to the WTC, with great irony)

Yes, yes…I know – Sheen’s a washed-up ‘thespian’ blessed by nepotism – with more relevance to journalistic hooks of adultery, drug use, and Heidi Fleiss than Neocon aspirations and Oil Wars – but this is symbolic of something.

A celebrity – someone with public appeal, for whatever reason it’s been ‘bestowed’ – has spoken out in an informed and educated manner on what many believe to be the greatest sham and propaganda atrocity of the last century. And when the same Republican spin-factory that breaks the culturally polarizing Lewinsky scandal posts the story, it gives it a frightening level of legitimacy. That it was immediately propagated by thousands of alternative news outlets causes even deeper waves to ripple across festering pool of public opinion. But the fact that the mainstream press has refused to comment in any way – even after repeated inquiries from a hardened media watchdog like Alex Jones – reveals just how powerful the machinery of spin, and the vaccuum of truth, is becoming.

Like this very comprehensive article trumpets – in New York Magazine, no less – this is our generation’s Kennedy Assassination.

But unlike past generations…are we going to do anything about it?

(UPDATE – A CNN Showbiz report does a piece on this Thursday night, and a few mags are starting to follow suit from reader pressure. Stay tuned….)

Where is the conflict when the truth is known,

where is the disease when the mind is clean,

where is the death when the breath is controlled,

therefore, surrender to yoga

New BS General Forum moderator DAMION made the wise suggestion of getting this awesome collection of hardcore fan pics featured again, as we want to keep it growing over the months (and maybe years?) to come!

Featured here is Rant section regular and prolific poet SHAI-HULUD, clad in some series funkery as Oran’s childhood pal Hassan! But there are tons more for your ogling pleasure, so get clicking…

And speaking of fandom, special thanks to DEATHJESTER and the other NY saints who called in to WBAI’s Niteshift on Mon/Tues – it totally made my month ๐Ÿ™‚ Did some of you slack and miss the live webcast? Go here for an archive of audio goodness including: remixed chapter samples, series music, and a mile-a-minute interview covering the past, present, and intriguing future of all things BS.

More soon, mateys. For now, the next project is calling…

Peace
