There are no knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns - that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know but there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know.

So, it looking like it might jes come to pass. De way things going right now, WWIII doh look like an impossibility...and everybody go be saying dat Nostradamus did predict it. Except for one lil 'technicality' dat nobody doh seem to realise yet...it really looking like is de wrong Eagle dey was
making bet on all de time! Everybody was sure is Saddam dat Nostradamus writings was pointing at, but really and truly if any Eagle going to start WWIII it could only be Dubya de Dotish.

Anyways, I ent no apologista for Saddam, we all know he ent no angel, but at least we (de ordinary people of dis world) never turn we eye like de folks who was selling him all kinda weaponry and pretending he wasn' so bad. He own people know damn well where he coming from, and dey dealing wid him in dey own way. Even if dey hate he guts, dey still go hate yours more if yuh bomb dey country (which just happen to be de cradle of human civilization, not to mention where de written word was born) to smithereens and get on TV and say dey supposed to be grateful. De ones who did create de Saddams of dis world go get what coming to dem...de sins of de fathers go pass onto de chirren unfortunately, because God ain't sleeping and She ain't dead.

All I go tell anybody who watching what going on is to keep yuh blood pressure tablets handy, because de amount ah salt yuh have to take wid de stories dat passing as 'objective news reporting', dey go be essential. Anybody who go believe wholesale anything dey hearing/seeing/reading, is a bigger fool than Dubya on he worst day. De only thing I could tell you is to listen to all sides and when yuh see something quoted, make sure of de source. It have plenty 'articles' floating round dese days, and even more idiots who running dey mouth quoting dem widout giving sources so yuh could verify who did create dem and who did pay dem to do so.

I have no problems wid anybody standing up fuh dey country, but when yuh get ketch on de wrong foot, doh try an convince anybody other than yuhself nuh. Democracy mean everybody have a say and the will of de majority is de number what go play...or so it used to be before Dubya and Co. decide to buss de mark wid number 1441.

BACKCHAT: Issue 10

Well Tantie, I don't feel that it is about oil at all. In fact let's make a little bet: that within 6 months of the Iraq conflict we find the USA NOT involved in oil production or distribution but find many European
'allies', including Russia, France (yes...the ones that DON'T SUPPORT the war!) and other countries entering the oil marketplace. I'll also bet the US makes sure the real Iraq people (those formerly held hostage to a tyrant aka Saddam) are very much part of the profits and capitalism process in
Iraq...want to double a bet Tantie??? 
Everyone said the US would benefit from the Afghanistan 'war' yet I see NOTHING many months later except helping people to be free, develop their own country and businesses, and improve their lives mostly with US dollars (are YOU contributing to help poor and hungry Afghan families!??) Bosnia,
etc. etc...please advise how the USA benefited here? I DO know the ones saved from torture and executions and rapes DID benefit, and, how many from YOUR country went to help BEFORE, DURING or AFTER??? (Oh das is so baad ta see...hope deys get better on der own! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk!) Zero I bet!
Also, YOUR country isn't threatened (probably because it never DOES take a stand against terrorism) and isn't worried about future attacks. Have a nice day under the freedom that is primarily confirmed by democratic USA might!
//Florida, USA


Thanks for the info as always. I wonder if you could include in your newsletter how many US citizens are also against the war, and there have been large demonstrations in this country to protest it.
//Texas, USA


Great comments which I hope the gay basher read carefully. On the other hand I think it is a tribute to your free expression that the Wanksie Club President thought he/she coudda mek dem comments. You keep going girl!!
//Trini with the UN


Ah laugh too bad! Tantie yuh good.
