Dear Friend and Reader:

THE whole frantic thing lately about an airplane flying along, then exploding with a liquid bomb, has a few times this week been apparent as sexual imagery -- and the 'terror' aspect representing a vast sea of anxiety around male orgasm. I will admit this is something of a classical psychological interpretation, such as if the image appeared in a dream and Freud were sitting there (imagine him nodding), but it's pretty intuitive. It is the mass anxiety part I think is meaningful now, particularly when you consider the climate of almost mandatory repression of orgasm (which of course not everyone follows...but there is a lot of anxiety getting mixed into male orgasm energy right now, and the constant shadow of 'man as sexual perpetrator' being cast over it)...and that this one particular image of liquid bomb + airplane exploding is the current main tool of government being used to get our Red Alert attention...with the message that we have to STOP THIS at all costs! Arrest them! Imagine you're dreaming and Rumsfeld is running through the halls of the Pentagon, chasing them, yelling, "Stop! You can't explode my airplane! Don't do it!" Further, when you add the established historical fact of the lighter colored man projecting his sexuality onto the darker colored man -- he's the one, he's the dirty beast -- which many (such as Wilhelm Reich) have noted was pointed onto Jews and Blacks...now these supposed Muslims with their magic explosive liquid...

As my Aunt Josie used to say, "Well, how about that!"
