It is a time of freedom and fear, of Gaia and of borders, of many paths and the widening of a universal toll road, emptying country and swelling cities, of the public bought into privacy and the privacy of the public sold into invisible data banks and knowing algorithms. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

These are the times when maps fade and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread.

Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

We've Been Programmed



1. George W. Bush is now only confident that Hussein had a WMD program, not that Hussein had WMD (see entry below).
2. Donald Rumsfeld testifies there was no new evidence against Hussein before going to war (see this BBC Report.)
3. The British Government no longer thinks WMDs are to be found in Iraq (see the same BBC Report.)

It can't be plainer, and Bush and Blair can't parse their way out of this: THE CASE FOR WAR IN IRAQ WAS BUILT ON UNTRUTH.

George W. Bush:
The UnTruth President.
