| As demonstrated by revelations on the much | | | | military serving over there were not required to don |
| maligned competence and foresight of Michael Brown | | | | company uniforms for their tours of employment as |
| and the treatment alloted to Scooter Libby all of you | | | | PetroSecurity.You, as the faux Insider are probably |
| supposed NeoCon Insiders should pause to reflect on | | | | growing uneasy about all you see going on around |
| the reality you presently face. You may think you are | | | | you, and rightly so. You thought you caught the gold |
| a NeoCon Insider but if you were only brought on | | | | ring, serving in the Inner Circles of Power only to |
| board as recently as 2000 you are most probably | | | | begin to suspect you are Wolf Bait, fated to dive off |
| not.No matter how elegant your office space or how | | | | the back of the Sleight of State when it is your time |
| impressive your title and rich your paycheck the | | | | to serve the Straussian Select.Of course, there is |
| chances are that in this administration you are there | | | | another explanation for your presence.Perhaps you |
| either for the same reasons Scooter and Brownie | | | | are there to still the voices that would otherwise be |
| got their jobs or you are there for something that is, | | | | raised in alarm. If you got that appointment and are |
| perhaps, even more devious. If, like others, you were | | | | not primarily intended as a Land Mine you are |
| astonished to have received your appointment you | | | | probably Hostage of Affinity. By that I mean that |
| should allow the shivers of fear to percolate through | | | | you were placed because you have lots of friends |
| your nervous system. It is only reasonable to be | | | | outside the administration in a group, such as the |
| nervous.All administrations must needs fill thousands | | | | Evangelical Bemused or in such ideological groups as |
| of appointments but only this administration has done | | | | conservative and libertarian.To create the appearance |
| so with such a devious agenda, laying out the battle | | | | that this administration was actually going to carry |
| ground in advance in curious ways.G. Gordon Liddy fell | | | | out the promises made to those groups they needed |
| on his sword because he was self programmed to do | | | | 'presence' from those groups. You are 'presence.' |
| just that; it accorded with his views. That will not be | | | | Your friends are reluctant to attack you and that is |
| the case with yourself. The NeoCons doubtless noted | | | | why you are there. Slightly naive and credulous |
| what good cover he made.The conferences the Bush | | | | chumps like yourself provide essential cover and |
| Administration held before this administration was | | | | could, in times of need, become Land Mines. By so |
| assembled were different than any administration in | | | | doing the NeoCon Cabal silenced those in your own |
| the past. Real NeoCon Insiders, such as John Fund, | | | | ideological affinity group who would have long since |
| provided the names for appointments, such as your | | | | be up in arms denouncing the predatory behavior of |
| own. They had unusual criteria for their suggestions, | | | | the Bushanista.All groups hate to believe they have |
| criteria that included if you could arguably be spun as | | | | been taken for a ride; all groups hate to attack their |
| incompetent when the time came for you to go off | | | | own.Now it makes sense, right? There is a reason |
| the back of the Sleigh. They knew the G. Gordons | | | | the administration ignores you unless it is time to trot |
| were thin upon the ground. You can think of it as an | | | | you our for a round of ideological ratification. Don't |
| appointment but the reality is very much like being | | | | feel too neglected. You will doubtless get your own |
| the guest of honor at a cannibalistic barbecue. In | | | | turn as Wolf Bait when the time comes. The canny |
| ancient times they always ensured the guest of | | | | ones among you are now gathering information, |
| honor for the ceremony was well fed. Easy to see | | | | copying papers, absconding with office supplies, |
| why.The NeoCon Cabal was not focused on the | | | | placing money off shore, and reconnecting with those |
| ordinary goal of an incoming administration. Their | | | | neglected friends who have been so less important |
| agenda was more personal. They were looking to | | | | since they became Insiders.Humility is good for the |
| reformat for the purposes of efficient thievery while | | | | soul.This concludes our first Lesson to the Faux |
| placing patsies to take the blame. This is like laying | | | | NeoCon Insider. Don't forget to send a thank you |
| land mines in the bureaucratic morass to prevent | | | | note to John Fund, or that other Real Insider, for |
| them ever reaching someone important. You were | | | | getting you this great job!Next: The 401K Syndrome |

| tactical plans of Rove, Cheney, et al. It was | | | | opportunists working on the build out of the |
| necessary to lay down in advance the cover that | | | | perpetual ATM machine from our pockets to |
| would cut off possible prosecution and blame for the | | | | theirs.Melinda Pillsbury-Foster is the author of GREED: |
| train of disasters that, if examined, would be | | | | The NeoConning of America and A Tour of Old |
| revealed to be clever transfers of wealth taking | | | | Yosemite. The former is a novel about the lives of |
| place right out in open under the coloration of | | | | the NeoCons with a strong autobiographical |
| administrative business and policy.On some level you | | | | component. The latter is a non-fiction book about her |
| are probably beginning to realize this. It is obvious | | | | father and grandfather.Ms. Pillsbury-Foster has been |
| when you stop listening to what they say and watch | | | | active in politics since the Goldwater Campaign. She |
| what happens. Stupidity and incompetence can only | | | | left the Republican Party to join and become active in |

| red.That is one example. Notice the aftermath of 9 | | | | while also serving as Southern Vice-Chairman for the |
| 11, too. That allowed for the cancellation of that | | | | California Libertarian Party. She was elected to six |
| pesky Bill of Rights and allowed BushCo to offer to | | | | terms as a state officer, eventually serving on |
