Ah, fuck it. Throwing in my hat for an intermittens editorship.

[LMNO]

Now announcing Intermittens issue # ש:  The issue.

Now taking submissions for conspiracy theory, AWS communiqués, and outright lies.

As apparently not said by Hassan i Sabbah, "Nothing is true; everything is permitted".


Please note I will also be raiding the archives, and asking permission to reprint.








That is all.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

[Cain]

I can also throw some knowledge your way.  The source may not like you using his work directly, but if you filter out the facts, then reword it, you'll have some top notch conspiracy material.

Alternatively, I could write it up, but it might take ages to do so.

[LMNO]

Go for it.  I may even add some of my own outright lies, for the hell of it.

Also, going through the archives, this may as well be called the "Cain and Roger" issue.

Unless some of you spags want to hit me with some disinfo COINTEL

[bds]

LMNO, this is probably something I can contribute to. It'll have to be in a week or more, I'm gunna be away this weekend.

My contribution will prolly just be some kind of massive lie. My imagination needs an excuse to run wild for a bit.

[LMNO]

Massive lies is just what I'm looking for.


However, massive lies that sound true would be even better.

For example, Costco being behind the survivalist movement.

[bds]

I'll aim to try and keep it sounding kinda true then

[Cramulus]

You're going to need to throw some real truth in there to make the lies sound more credible.

Will it be obvious to the reader that the issue is full of falsehood? (and we should go over-the-top with our disinformation)
Or is the intent to lie credibly, to bait/create the paranoid?

also, what's the ש called?  and what's it mean?

[LMNO]

The character is the hebrew letter "shin", because I have no idea when it will be coming out, and we decided to be ordered in our issue numbering system.

The readers should be clued in by the fact it's called the issue... I think a nice mix of the maybe true, the almost true, and the outright false should be interesting.  Something plausible (but false) following something obviously false could lead the reader into more credulity.


And, there might be one really real truth in there, but it's probably going to be unbelievable.

LMNO, some notes

http://ifile.it/cv1px8d

Each entry starts on a new page.  I've tried to keep it as parapolitical as possible, but some religion and UFO stuff has snuck in around the edges.

[LMNO]

Sweet, I'll download that when I get home.

In that case, I'm going to give The Masses a sample of the goodness within:

From The Huffington Post:

Vice President Dick Cheney was taken to the cardiac unit of the Vail Valley Medical Center. Contrary to Associated Press reports that he went to see orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steadman, for a knee injury, Vice President Cheney went directly to the cardiac unit to see Dr. Jack Eck and his team. The Vice President checked into the hospital under the name of Dr. Hoffman.

Interesting choice of alias for the Homeland's Regent. The most famous, or perhaps infamous, doctor to bear that name is Dr Albert Hoffman: the "father of LSD."

Dr Hoffman writes, in LSD: My Problem Child, that the most significant insight he had gained by his LSD experiments is that "what one commonly takes as 'the reality,' including the reality of one's own individual person, by no means signifies something fixed, but rather something that is ambiguous-that there is not only one, but that there are many realities, each comprising also a different consciousness of the ego."

Were you able to read that without recalling the notorious words of the true voice of the White House, spoken to Ron Suskind last Fall? These words:

We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

The cocaine metaphor is a common touchstone for critics of the administration. That might have been the poison of choice for the empty suit at the top, but it's not his administration, it's Cheney's, and cocaine doesn't make pharmacological sense of the bad trip he's sent us on. The White House is not a crack house, it's an acid house.

I don't know whether Cheney's choice of alias was deliberate, though with this man, I suspect everything either is, or deliberation is irrelevent. Why not "Mr Hoffman"? Let's remember, as much as we'd like to forget, that it's not too long ago that he wore a green parka and wool cap with the words "Staff 2001" to an Auschwitz memorial service.

And it must said, there is a resemblance.

Stephen Colbert's DNA will resurrect humanity, making him in fact the closest thing to a modern day Jesus.

I don't remember agreeing to this. I'm trying to beat number 5 to the press as we speak
