Regime change begins at home

Thanks to Rich for the deck of cards. I can tell you that I probably won't be featuring it as often as I'd like, because it is extra work to scan them and size them and blah, blah, blah.

But, just to make it a little more game-like to go along with this ridiculous dimension in which we find ourselves, I'm going to present them as a sort of tarot. (At least that's how I'm starting out here...don't be trying to hold me to anything later on.)

So...for today's tarot, I shuffled the deck and drew two cards:

A pair of kings! (You'll be happy to note that there are a pair of queens in this deck that probably aren't too happy about their position - John AssKKKroft, queen of clubs, and Donald Rumsfiend, queen of spades.)


New Press

Suit of Clubs: Homeland Insecurity Karl Rove aka "Bush's Brain" chief political advisor to President Bush One of the biggest holders of Enron stock among White House staffers. "It is really the height of cynicism to suggest that a president would take the awesome decision of sending people into harm's way for politics."

Suit of Diamonds: War Profiteering Horst Kohler Managing director of the IMF Kohler has cheerfully cooperated in turning the IMF into a key component of Washington's overall program for so-called strategic states like Pakistan and Indonesia, even as it left a country like Argentina, with its massive economic swoon, twisting in the wind.

The thing about tarot is, now you have to decide why those two cards have meaning at this moment in time. Or, for initiates into the realm of "cosmic winks", you simply have to notice any "coincidences" that these cards have with something else that gains your attention. It doesn't have to be something immediate or current, it could be a trigger for some past recall or a precursor to something about to show up.

But for moi, the winks are obvious and immediate. Horst Kohler's IMF has been a participant in America's interference in Latin American affairs, and a subject of Venezuela president Hugo Chavez' opposition to Double-face's stance at the Americas Summit which has been going on this week, and which I have been posting on regularly. (Perhaps I have been being a bit too disrespectful of the Oaf of Office, and so perhaps I should say, Mr. Double-face.)

And the card for KKKarl Rove, who is seriously creepy I might add (I don't know why they keep calling him "Bush's Brain" - we know Bush doesn't have a brain, and KKKarl is more like a polyp, if you ask me, but you didn't), notes specifically his position with Enron, a company I have not talked about in oh so very long (if at all), except for....earlier today. And not just that, but I posted about Enron in the same post where I told you Rich had just given me this deck of cards.

Hmmmmmm.....something cooking with the Enron crew? I'll be watching for another wink on that.

It's okay. You're allowed to use the tarot. Sure! If it was good enough for the Knights Templar, it ought to be good enough for us.

Joseph [of Arimathea] was able to convert the new teachings of Jesus the Christ to the old form of Tarot cards. The Tarot...was carried from the Nazarites to the Grail Kings. The practice of the Tarot was religious, with strong Christian under tones. Every card has a meaning but certain ones referred to God, the Church and other saints of the church. source

See? No problem. Even though he probably doesn't let Pickles know, Double-face as a member of Skull & Bones uses the tarot all the time, I'm sure. He must, don't you think? Really, go ahead. Don't be afraid. We can all play this game. Don't let those degrees of priesthood scare you off. Priesthood, shmiesthood. You know what that game is all about.

My, my, my, look at the clock. Gotta run.

....but hey, you do what you want....you will anyway.

(What were the numbers on the clock when you looked?)
