Lighting Revelation

The Great Leader was down the subway system yesterday
to witness an horrendous crime.
Station Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Six MTA agents were on the job to change fluorescent tubes.
One man had a clipboard, one man carried the ladder, one man
carried a screw driver, one man dragged a box with the new tubes,
two other man carried their hands deep in their pockets. They all
walked slowly down the platform looking for what the man with the
clipboard assured was a defective lighting fixture, in this case it was
a dead one. The man with the ladder opens it and stand aside.
One of the man with the hands in their pockets move forward to hold
the ladder firmily, the other man with the hands in the pocket helped
the man with box to pull out a new tube. the man with the screw driver
approched the ladder and climbed on, then he removed the dead tube
and passed to the man that carried the ladder. At this point he recieved
the new one, he installed it and turned it on with the screwdriver.
Every man at this point retake the position on to a new spot which the
clipboard man had on his list.

Now, The Great Leader is a strong supporter of Organized Labor,
but he also opposes the MTA fare program that the State of New York
(Leaderonia host State) which will raise the monthly pass price and
cut down in services and token booth personel.
So what to do?
Those of you that are in support of efficiency and lower fare should
unite behind the Great Leader and wage war to the MTA, by writing
letters of complain and partecipating in public hearings ( the only thig
close to democracy, no that electronic vote non sense) , so here two
things:
1-If you know how to write here is a page to get some addresses and tips.

2-Speak out!

Lets take the fight from the tracks to the cushy executive offices
of the infamous MTA.

Welcome Henry Atlas

The Secretariat of The One Leader, the Great Leader has
received the great news from mother Allison and poppa Nathaniel.
The People of Leaderonia welcomes the new citizen.

"Henry Atlas Reichman--known to most of you as Spaceman
for the last 8 months--has arrived. Following an unexpected
labor induction at 36 weeks, Henry was born after 14 hours
of labor on Tuesday morning, November 16th. Weighing 5
pounds 12 ounces, he is small but strong, and both Allison and
baby are at home and well."

Presentation De La Vierge Marie

Cet épisode de la vie de la Vierge Marie ne se trouve pas dans
les quatre évangiles, mais dans un livre apocryphe, le
"protévangile de Jacques". La piété populaire et la spiritualité
mariale en furent marquées, car elle soulignait bien la disponibilité
de la Vierge Marie, à l'égard de la volonté divine. Tant en Orient
qu'en Occident, cette fête connut un grand succès. Marie est bien
prédestinée à devenir le temple vivant de la divinité. La scène est
toute simple, selon cet évangile apocryphe : Anne et Joachim
voulurent remercier Dieu de la naissance de cette enfant. Ils la lui
consacrèrent. Lorsqu'elle eut trois ans, Marie fut conduite au
Temple, un prêtre l'accueille par des paroles qui ressemblent au
Magnificat et l'enfant s'assied sur les marches de l'autel. " Tout le
peuple d'Israël l'aima " . Cette fête est attestée dès le 6ème siècle.
(http://fnicolay.free.fr/saints/21novembre.htm)

"Hail, holy throne of God, divine sanctuary, house of glory, jewel most fair, chosen treasure house, and mercy seat for the whole world, heaven showing forth the glory of God. Purest Virgin, worthy of all praise, sanctuary dedicated to God and raised above all human condition, virgin soil, unplowed field, flourishing vine, fountain pouring out waters, virgin bearing a child, mother without knowing man, hidden treasure of innocence, ornament of sanctity, by your most acceptable prayers, strong with the authority of motherhood, to our Lord and God, Creator of all, your Son who was born of you without a father, steer the ship of the Church and bring it to a quiet harbor" (adapted from a homily by St. Germanus on the Presentation of the Mother of God).

Mary’s presentation was celebrated in Jerusalem in the sixth century. A church was built there in honor of this mystery. The Eastern Church was more interested in the feast, but it does appear in the West in the 11th century. Although the feast at times disappeared from the calendar, in the 16th century it became a feast of the universal Church.

As with Mary’s birth, we read of Mary’s presentation in the temple only in apocryphal literature. In what is recognized as an unhistorical account, theProtoevangelium of James tells us that Anna and Joachim offered Mary to God in the Temple when she was three years old. This was to carry out a promise made to God when Anna was still childless.

Though unhistorical, Mary’s presentation has an important theological purpose. It continues the impact of the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and of the birth of Mary. It emphasizes that the holiness conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued through her early childhood and beyond.

Revocation of Independence

The Intelligence Chief of The One Leader, The Graet Leader
has intercepted a communication from the Crown of England.

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT TEXT FROM LEADERONIA:

Dear Americans,

In the light of your recent failure to elect a reasonable President and
thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of
your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties
over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which
she does not fancy.

Your new Prime Minister (Tony Blair for the 97.85% of you who have until
now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will
appoint a Minister for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be
circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid to the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following
rules are introduced with immediate effect:

* You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.

* Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels.
Look up "vocabulary". Using the same 27 words interspersed with filler
noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and ineffective
form of communication. Look up "interspersed".

* There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on
your behalf.
* You should learn to distinguish between English and Australian
accents. It really isn't that hard.
* Hollywood will be required to occasionally cast English actors as the
good guys.
* You should relearn your original national anthem, God Save The Queen,
but only after carrying out task one. We would not want you to get
confused and give up half way through.
* You will no longer be allowed to play American football. There is only
one kind of football. What you refer to as "football" is not a very
good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside
your borders may have noticed that no one else plays American
football.
Instead you should play proper football. Initially, it would be best if
you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave
enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to
American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every 20
seconds or wearing full body armour like nancies).

* You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if
they give you any merde. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that there
is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The
Russians have never been the bad guys.

* The fourth of July is no longer a public holiday. The third of
November will be a new national holiday, but only in Britain. It will be
called "Stupidity Day".
* All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your
own good. When we show you German Cars, you will understand what we
mean.

We understand that it will take some time for this to sink through into
the quagmire of your collective consciousness, (you may wish to look up
the words Quagmire, Collective, and Consciousness) and so we give you
until the first day of the 12th month in the Year of our Lord 2004 to
respond.

Apology

The Ministry of Information and Propaganda which selects all entries here,
has been informed of involuntarely breaching the silent etiquette that exist
in the hypertext world of today.
The misconduct was learned by the One Leader, The Great Leader himself,
last night at an official dinner for the return of theUS turists from Costa Rica.
Therefore here pubblicly and officially the Minister of Information and Propaganda
will apologize for having used "hot links" to broadcast the last two images below,
while solemnly swearing to the invibible flag of Leaderonia.

Ma`a salaameh, yaa Abu `Ammar

In September 1982, after the massacre of Sabra and Shatila, the One
Leader, the Great Leader, walked His first demonstration of protest along the
Federazione Giovani Comunisti Italiani in support of the Palestinian
Liberation Organization, and his Leader, Yassir Arafat.

Since then the One Leader, the Great Leader has witness the long conflict for
the liberation of the territories occupied by the State of Israel, paid close
attention to the peace process, and overcome prejudisms and embraced a
firm and convinced stance toward the resolution of the ongoing massacre.

Today He express sadness in aknowledging the death of Arafat.
But He also look forward to witness the dream of the palestianian people,
a free land and a right to return, a dream that was his.
Here is the obituary by The Electronic Intifada

In Memoriam

Leonid Brezhnev(Ilich)
b. Dec. 19, 1906, Kamenskoye, Russia [now Dniprodzerzhinsk, Ukraine]
d. Nov. 10, 1982, Moscow, Soviet Communist Party leader (1964-82)

From The Memorial Office of
The Secretary of the One Leader , The Great Leader

Leonid Brezhnev became a full member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in 1931. By 1939 he had become secretary of the regional party committee of Dnepropetrovsk. During World War II he served as a political commissar in the Red Army. In 1950 he was sent to Moldavia as first secretary of the Moldavian Communist Party. In 1952 he became a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU and a candidate member of the Politburo, but he lost those posts after Stalin's death (March 1953). In 1955 he became first secretary of the Kazakhstan Communist Party, and in 1956 he was reelected to his posts on the CPSU Central Committee and the Politburo. A year later, Brezhnev was made a full member of the Politburo, and in 1960 he became chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (titular head of state). In July 1964 he resigned that post to become Nikita Khrushchev's assistant as second secretary of the Central Committee, by which time he was considered Khrushchev's heir apparent as party leader. Three months later, however, he helped lead the coalition that forced Khrushchev from power, and became (Oct. 15, 1964) first secretary of the CPSU (after 1966, general secretary). During the 1970s he attempted to normalize relations between West Germany and the Warsaw Pact and to ease tensions with the United States through the policy known as détente. He was elected chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in June 1977, thus becoming the first person in Soviet history to hold both the leadership of the party and of the state. He retained his hold on power to the end despite his frail health and growing feebleness.

The Flag of the DSA

The Department of Information and Propaganda
released the new flag of the Divided States of America.

Moral Value #1: Fear

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS:

Our Host country has elected their new leader
for the next 4 years and it will prepare for the
swearing-in ceremony in the coming January 20th.
In a communique sent to our Office,
the local administration has designated it as a
National Special Security Event.
Five events were designated NSSEs in 2004:
the State of the Union Address,
the G8 Sea Island, Georgia, Economic Summit,
the funeral of former President Ronald Reagan,
and the Democratic and Republican national conventions.

The Secretary of State has stated that
the One Leader, The Great Leader will not be onoring
with His presence the cerimony of the local leader,
but He will send in a delegation of scientists to
study the case in the details.

The Secretary Deputy has said that the One Leader,
the Great Leader has not yet recognized the legitimacy
of the past elections resulted in the victory of the
Governor of Texas, the Selected President of 2000.
He also declared that the Host country will be renamed:
The Divided States of America, and their flag will be
returned to the one better known as the "Confederate"
on the right and the one known as "Stars Sprangled
Banner" on the left side, and in the middle a large
white flaming cross.
The Department of Information and Propaganda will
soon release a rendering of the future flag of the DSA.

Murdoch's media empire.
This exert from a 3 page note was written by Andrew Veal
who shot himself this past week in the pit of Ground Zero,
these words are in fact his last words:

"I got 60 rounds of shells and I'm driving toward the beach
or Jersey. I'm still in Walmart . . . I just bought a Smith and
Wesson 12-gauge action shotgun. I can't wait to fire it. I can
contact Trent, but if I do I won't tell him about the shotgun
because he'll get nervous."

From The Ministry Of The Interior Affairs:

The alleged self proclaimed TV EVANGELISTS on this list have been
indicted by sitting Leaderonia Grand Juries in various jurisdictions in
the Divided States of America for Faith Exploitation.
Evidence was gathered and presented to the Grand Juries, which led
to their being charged. Future indictments may be handed down as
various investigations proceed in connection to other exploitation incidents,
for example, the fraudolent presidential election of 2004.

It is also important to note that these individuals will remain wanted
in connection with their alleged crimes until such time as the charges are
dropped or when credible physical evidence is obtained, which proves
with 100% accuracy, that they are deceased.

Goodbye America The Beatiful,
hello America The Stupid.

Most of Americans I know personally are smart, some of are really
really smart, so I am not so worried. But the ones I don't know
personally, well that's is the problem, I see they all have issues,

From The Office of The ONE LEADER, The GREAT LEADER

Goodnight America

From the One Leader, the Great Leader:

America,
beware of the cold winter upon you,
a long winter, the longest ever.
If it gets too cold burn your Constitution,
and keep your consumption of oil steady,
increasing and unstoppable.

America,
beware of the light of reason and hope,
as it might disturb your slumber.
If it gets too bright use a blindfold,
make sure it is tight and permanent,
and embrace the dark.

America,
you were born during The Enlightenment,
you become wide and divided during the
Industrial Age, and you overcome unjustice
and bigotry through your people's fights.

America,
you choose to sleep and dream now,
while the air is getting heavy, the water is getting muddy,
the waste is everywhere around you
and your children are sent to kill for more.

Goodnight America,
you sleep now,
don't wake up.
