How Stupid Can You Get?

Having cashed in politically on the fear engendered by 9/11, Bush and his mates are now looking to cash in financially on the grotesque Orwellian state of perpetual war that they have created.

Admiral John Poindexter, who retired in disgrace after the 1980s Reagan Iran-Contra scandal, was resurrected post-9/11 (like many Bush Snr buddies) to lead "Terrorism Information Awareness" program. Given that there seems to be very little good information available on terrrrrsm in the USA lately, Poindexter and his pals have come up with an absolutely brilliant new initiative.

When you want to know what's going to happen on the Stock Market, you go down to the exchange and you watch the figures, right? You look for patterns and sudden shifts that indicate that somebody somewhere knows something you dont. Why not do the same thing with terrrrrsm?

Their new initiative is called the "Policy Analysis Market." You can bet on whether or not Yassar Arafat will be assasinated, whether North Korea will be invaded, wether Saddam will be captured... you get the idea.

Brilliant. Just @#$%ing brilliant.
