For further enflaming anti-American sentiment, for making the war that wins by not winning even more un-winnable - in other words, for advancing Corporate's interests in a significant but sloppy fashion - Staff Sergeant Gibbs will likely spend the rest of his life in the brig (where I hope he's treated humanely, the motherfucker) for violating Corporate's public relations rules. We all serve Corporate on multiple-levels.
A quick google explains why the burst of interest (almost all from Europe, btw, Hungary and Netherlands especially, hardly any from US) after seven months:
10:15 AM UPDATE: Staff Sgt. Galvin Cibbs pleaded not guilty to all of the 16 criminal charges the Army filed against him. Jury selection is underway.
Looking up and down the blogrolls, I see no one else notes the trial, and I wouldn't have remembered Galvin Cibbs, the crimes he's alleged to have committed, my outrage seven months ago, or his trial beginning but for my vain picking through the scat of my stat-counters for seeds for evidence people are reading, so as with every post, proof of my complicity. As for the trial of Galvin Cibbs, though not addressing the case in any particulars, this blog post title captures multiple meanings.
- David Harvey on Occupy.
- Capturing the other 99%.
- On the above.
- Important moments in history with Oakland kitty cop.
- He never had them.
- Anti-Occupy agit-prop.
- Occupy this.
- Honest by accident.
- Hadn't thought about Stephen Dixon in years. Was neither a lover or hater, but remember in Blegsylvania, in the Lit-Stringtowns, how Dixon's name started comment wars? (Not that lit-bloggers like this shitty blog.)
- Know what people like at this shitty blog? fIREHOSE.
- Epoxy for example.
- Another theory shot to shit.
- Liberty for our friend.
- Choose any memory.
- New paintings by Earthgirl, whose blog will appear in Me and Mine soon, who has a show coming Thanksgiving weekend at Yellow Barn.
WELTENDE VARIATION #1
Bill Knott
The CIA and the KGB exchange Christmas cards
A blade snaps in two during an autopsy
The bouquet Bluebeard gave his first date reblooms
Many protest the public stoning of a guitar pick
Railroad trains drop off the bourgeois’ pointy head
A martyr sticks a coffeecup out under a firehose
Moviestars make hyenas lick their spaceship
God’s hand descends into a glove held steady by the police
At their reunion The New Faces recognize each other
A spoiled child sleeps inside a thermometer
A single misprint in a survival manual kills everyone
The peace night makes according to the world comes
