NEWS ANALYSIS: DIPLOMACY It's About Aid, and an Image By DAVID E. SANGER

Published: December 30, 2004

CRAWFORD, Tex., Dec. 29 - As Asia suffers through a 9/11 of its own - a natural calamity instead of a man-made one, but at least 25 times more deadly - President Bush's response in coming weeks may well determine his success in repairing relations strained by three years of relentless American focus on terrorism. It took 72 hours after the tsunamis washed away countless villages and tens of thousands of lives before Mr. Bush appeared in public to declare that the United States had the rudiments of a plan for addressing "loss and grief to the world that is beyond our comprehension." His aides said it took that long to understand the magnitude of the tragedy and to plan a recovery effort that must stretch from remote villages of Indonesia to the eastern coast of Africa. But the aid effort that has now begun presents Mr. Bush with an opportunity to battle, with action rather than just words the perception that took root in his first four years in office that he is all about America first. "It's a tragedy but it is also an opportunity to demonstrate that terrorism doesn't drive out everything else," said Morton Abramowitz, who served as Ambassador to Thailand.. … **/ So ended today’s Times’ page.1 column (12.30.’4) * ”opportunity” for Bush = opportunism for Times’ neocons et al. If he lays out Big Bucks for US, he can be Mr. Good Guy, again.

** they will define what “perceptions” take root -- never mentioning the hatred bred by equating US and Israel “battling terror”, post-“9/11”. But this is the lynch-pin of antinomies of public policy: it is

[B]anti-democratic [/B] (never voted on), [B]passed off under the banner of “Democracy”; [/B]

[B]anti-American [/B] (national boundaries and dignities compromised by behind-the-scenes, under-the-counter deals and steals), [B]passed off as "We" = their patriotism[/B]

[B]anti-Christian [/B] (deeply, profoundly, Christ-hating – see, for one source, Phyllis Chesler’s ’04 book “The New Anti-Semitism”, arguing that “God” can’t mean the same thing for Jews as Christians. P. 25f) [B]passed off as “Judeo-Christian” morality, national ethos. [/B]

In group-fantasy (shared by all, from different perspectives), these events represent mainly two things: a. an earth-purification shudder; and b. a birthing process. The symbolism of the latter ends with a stunning climax to America’s post-election situation. :

1. Quakes in the earth from long build-up of tensions, released by the shearing of continental plates. (Symbolism: Earth is Mother’s womb)
2. …deep in the bottom of the ocean, under the waters (Symbolism: the amniotic fluid the fetus must “swim” through, to rise to the surface and be born.)
3. …breaking the surface as a vast, towering wave, a wall of water rushing toward shows, gaining speed while rising higher (Symbolism: the rush of birth trauma itself; or, in genital terms, orgasmic ejaculation)
4. …LEAVING BEHIND A RING OF DEAD BODIES CAST ASHORE LIKE STILLBORN FETUSES -- ALREADY DEAD IN THE WOMB, LIKE THE TO-BE-RE-BORN BABY FROM ELECTION CAMPAIGN ‘04

The Symbolic reality that elections are group re-birth rituals, at the conscious level – with two ‘heroes’, waging war of liberation for the regressed sibling fetuses, fighting each other to see who is worthy of fighting the Big Placenta – is well documented elsewhere. (L.deMause, The Foudnations of Psychohistory) That is why the group gets “enemies”: the leader proves his virility/worth by “battling” them (notice:the Times, by dropping “war” on terror, keeps what is going on from being anything we win or lose, at last.)

It has been also established (see previous post, Shame of ’04, above) that the existential dominant in the group-psychological feeling-state is shame, tracing to the pictures of Abu Ghraib as de-construction of the mind-set that planned the Iraq war. In fantasy (unconscious, mostly) this would be the group’s male ego acting out defense against anal rape – and gaining fatherhood-potency by male-impregnation-of-another-male by this very means.

This last procedure, of course, depositing sperm on feces, can produce nothing. Yet Bush, Rove, Land, Scalia and Perle….ah, they indeed produced something. Their pubescent spending has surely spewed abundant – something.

And THAT is what “He Who Knows all about us”, if there is such a thing in us, sees washed up on the shores of the Indonesian Pacific rim. Now look for a huge surge of sympathetic concern motivated by compulsive displacement: there couldn’t be anything shameful about helping out over there, could there? -- urged on by people with names like

*** Abramowitz. Make way for the moral, even penitent Jews, cringing in the womb of the Mother country they have done this to, facing wall of hate approaching with tsumanic fury, unless somehow diverted. And as the article said, this is their, er, Bush’s chance.. .

Damn right, America first. Well 4th actually. God 1st, then my family, then my state, then my country.

As long as there are problems to be solved in my own back yard, among my own people, im not going to feel chariatable toward others half way round the globe.

Im sick and tired of being the piggy bank for the fools in washington city to plunder by force in order to give it away to people who are not my own.

yankee baztards - take your taxes and government handouts, shove them in your ear then break them off
