More RNC intimidation
Damn, I seem to be poking at these guys a lot lately. Somehow that seems stupid. They’re just guys with a job to do, and Bush makes them do all kinds of things I’m sure they don’t enjoy. The Cold War is over and now they’ve set their sights inward… to you and me. I hate that when that happens. So, fuck `em.
Maybe someone should tell the FBI that the anarchists they have such a hard-on for weren’t responsible for 9/11. This reminds of the days of J. Edgar Hoover, a true American monster, who for decades refused to admit that organized crime existed, choosing instead to puff up FBI arrest statistics by focusing on easy to catch low threats like car thieves.

One reason oil prices are rising
Insurgents Bomb Oil Pipeline in Iraq
Insurgents bombed Saturday an oil pipeline in southern Iraq that had not been in use for several days, setting it ablaze, security forces in the area said.
The pipeline, which connects the Rumeila oilfields with export storage tanks in the Faw peninsula, had been shut down for a week due to threats from insurgents, and it was unclear what effect the bombing would have on exports.
Experts say oil may never dip below $40
Oil dipping almost $1 doesn’t signal the beginning of a major retreat, say commodities experts who suggest crude might never fall below $40 US a barrel again. “Some see a correction happening to $30 US a barrel but that’s just not going to happen. We’re in a market fundamentals situation — basic supply and demand — indicating a igh-price environment for … basically forever,” said Peter Linder of Calgary’s DeltaOne Energy Fund.

RNC
I plan to be in NYC this coming weekend for the RNC protests. The big march will be Sunday, yet with no permit granted for a rally after the march, hundreds of thousands will end the march in the middle of Manhattan with no place to go.Some, I’m sure, will attempt to march to Central Park anyway. and that’s when things could get interesting.
The FBI’s elaborate plans to control demonstrations at the GOP convention will have the opposite effect of helping to create the largest convention protests since Chicago in 1968. (5)
Key
1 = Total Fiction
10 = Metaphysical Certainty
I’m 100% sure that provocateurs and police will coordinate their activities for maximum prime-time coverage, and that the leaders of previously-unknown violent anarchist groups will mysteriously disappear at the key moment, leaving their hapless followers to battle the police and eventually do hard time.
Would chaos outside the convention hurt or help Bush? Hard to know. Not that I want chaos, not at all. But the probability of it happening is, I think, high.
