It's time to stand up and observe the truth:  the most
pressing threat to peace in the world today is the
US/British armada poised to crush Iraq -- in the
process killing thousands of innocents  the war
mongers say they want to save from Saddam -- backed by
US threats and plans to use weapons of mass
destruction to accomplish its imperial aims.


"the chaplan, the doctor, your mother hoping to hang
that Gold Star, the vapid soprano last night on the
Home Service programme, let's not forget Mr. Noel
Coward so stylish and cute about death and the
afterlife, packin them into the Duchess for the fourth
year running, the lads in Hollywood telling us how
grand it all is over here how much fun. Walt Disney
causing Dumbo the elephant to clutch to that feather
like how many carcasses under the snow tonight among
the waite-painted tanks, how many hands each frozen
around a Miraculous Medal, lucky pieceof worn bone,
half-dollar with the grinning sun peering up under
Liberty's wispy gown, clutching, dumb, when the 88
fell--what do you think, it's a children's story? 
There aren't any. The children are away dreaming, but
the Empire has no place for dreams and it's Adults
Only in here tonight"
Gravity's Rainbow, pp. 134-135


"There's something still on, don't call it a 'war' if
it makes you nervous, maybe the death rate's gone down
a point or two [...] but Their enterprise goes on" 
GR 628

"Don't forget the real business of the War is buying
and selling." 
GR 105
