by the way, i've been thinking some more about this saudi arabia thing and we really should be occupying them and not afghanistan. i mean, this terror thing is centered with the saudis, not the afghanis. why do we pretend the saudis are our friends, or look the other way when they have such heavy involvement? afghanistan is going to prove to be a quagmire; saudi arabia would be easy. to me, it's just another one of those things which stinks to high heaven, yet americans don't care; not as long as they get their 'safety' and 'security' and 'democracy' and 'fairness;' none of which exist in reality by the way. yes, write it all down in a book and say it is so - social shit. getting back to the saudis; most of those people live out in the desert and wouldn't care who is governing. all we need to do is oust the royals; they can take their imported sex slaves with them as part of the deal. i mean, it's a friggin' joke to pretend that the saudi royal family is pious. they're turds who need to be flushed. but perhaps bush is in cahoots with the saudis (thus he wont depose their monarchy), and he knows full well that afghanistan will prove to be a quagmire; a morass beyond anything like vietnam. perhaps bush WANTS a quagmire; don't ask me why; i just think the whole thing stinks to high heaven. and i hated clinton... finally, yes i don't any more care for islam, judaism, or christianity. i would just as soon put all of 'those people' in australia or something. if i had to choose between one of the 3... ughh... i can't bring myself to do it but ... uh.... JUDAISM... yes that's the one. at least there you get to argue with GOD. and again the jews have the some of the best music and the most beautiful women... the strict islamics don't even allow music. is that brain dead or what? maybe having 4 wives makes up for no music.... on the other hand.... in any case i'm sure there are 'good' and 'bad' people in every religion... andy

Lovecraft's transcription error Scholar of arcane Anglospheric Cultism, the eminent James C. Bennett of Miskatonic University, has turned up a disturbing fact after translating an ancient text. In a closed session address to Foreign Policy Research Institute, Bennett reported his findings. H. P. Lovecraft got it garbled: It's "In his house in Riyadh great Cthulhu lies sleeping." That's why the Saudi Whahabis hate all other varieties of Islam. Their form is really Cthulhu-worship. Naturally the Saudi ambassador dismissed this as "Obviously just another Zionist smear campaign and quite clearly racism against Middle Eastern people. So what if a few of us smell strongly of fish, commune with extraplanular creatures and have tentacles under our burqas?" Alarming stuff. It might interest the reader to know there are many tales linking the octopoid Old Ones and the discovery of oil. Could Riyadh merely wish to pump its oil out to free those trapped beneath it? Is this why the Saudi's are so reluctant to cut back their oil production when OPEC wishes them to? The Saudi desert contains many ancient temples said to be dedicated to gods as old as man itself as well as oil. Is their resistance to outsiders hiding something sinister? Could the Whahabi desire to fund their brand of Islam all over the Arab world been in preparation for the arrival of someone? Many observers say that some in the Saudi Royal family have tentacle-like networks all over the Muslim world. A deliberate hint or merely a blind stumble on the truth. samizdata.blogspot.com (you have to scroll down about a third of the way)
