THE BOTFLY BRIGADE
The internet is increasingly crowded with members of what I call "The Botfly Brigade".
For those of you who have led sheltered city dweller lives,the botfly is a large,annoying species of biting fly,that tries to lay its eggs under the victim's skin as it feeds.
The eggs hatch out into voracious larvae that continue to feed on the victim,until they are large enough to eat a hole to the outside world.
The Botfly Brigade is the human equivalent of these nasty critters.
Its members,like their insect counterpart, buzz maddeningly.They spread "virtual fly dung" across the internet,and they strive to plant their poisonous eggs in the consciousness of the young,the impressionable,and the hard-pressed.
They have been extremely successful-especially in some parts of Academia -where "Botfly Buzz" has become the "official language".
The Botflies are most at home on the internet, where they spread garbage like this:
DOCUMENTS SHOW BUSH POLITICAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY PAID OIL-FOR-FOOD KICKBACKS TO SADDAM HUSSEIN
WASHINGTON May 21, 2005 British Member of Parliament George Galloway presented the U.S. Senate with the best tongue lashing since U.S. Army counsel Joseph Welch excoriated Senator Joseph McCarthy over his witch hunt directed at one of Welch's law firm associates who had been a member of the Lawyer's Guild: "You've done enough; have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?" ----------------- The Online Journal reports a Houston-based oil company, Bayoil, evaded Iraqi sanctions and profited from the Oil-for-Food Program. "Documents indicate that one of the largest recipients of Bayoil Iraqi oil shipments was Enron, the bankrupt company that served as a virtual slush fund for the political campaigns of George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The article notes that at the time Ken Lay and his company, ENRON, were reaping large oil-for-food profits and paying off Saddam and his cronies, they were also contributing to Bush's 2000 presidential campaign and participating in closed-door meetings on energy policy with Vice President Dick Cheney Now you know the rest of the story: Why Dick Cheney wants to keep his Energy meeting secret from the American Public. Him and the Bush family and the GOP were making money off the Oil-For-Food program before it became public! Is THIS treason? Is this lying to the public? ......................................................... ..........................................................
The response to this wild charge was a sober and judicious report in The Weekly Standard, which showed : not only did most of the "Oil-for-Food" irregularities occur during the Clinton presidency,but it was President Bush and England's Tony Blair who jawboned the UN into putting a stop to this nonsense in 2002.
One of the problems with Botfly Buzz is that it can be maddeningly difficult to locate and pin down confirming facts:something the Botflies are well aware of,and count on heavily.
Am I in before the zot?
If you'd like to see a "botfly site", go here:
http://www.onlinejournal.com
The stories that appear here seem to come from a loose network of left wing "think tanks";and, when you start to chase down some of the organizations these "Michael Moore Wannabees" are affiliated,you turn up with grants from George Soros,the Rockefeller Family Foundation,etc.
You need to go back to Zot School.
If a zot happened and the zotocrit was not there to see it, did it really happen AT ALL.?.
Maybe I was too quick to cry wolf, huh?
BTW, Wanna see the mother of all zots?
