Garvey's Ghost: Black Talk

Seemingly Unrelated

In a recent discussion with a netizen I was re-iterating the importance of understanding Dr. Frances Cress Welsing's cone shaped diagram. This diagram is used to illustrate how seemingly unrelated items can in fact be related if one performs some analysis. In her diagram the top (circle) portion of the cone has different dots referencing different items. In her case these items were the areas of people activity. At the base of the cone was a single item,which for her purposes was White Supremacy. One quickly realizes that such a cone can be used to connect various items and each item on the top of the cone can have it's own cone of convergence. As fate usually does me, shortly after having this discusion, I ran across this piece over at Bushwars..

quote:

Additional evidence that Cheney played an early planning role is contained in a previously undisclosed National Security Council document, dated February 3, 2001. The top-secret document, written by a high-level NSC official, concerned Cheney's newly formed Energy Task Force. It directed the NSC staff to cooperate fully with the Energy Task Force as it considered the "melding" of two seemingly unrelated areas of policy: "the review of operational policies toward rogue states," such as Iraq, and "actions regarding the capture of new and existing oil and gas fields."... "But if this little group was discussing geostrategic plans for oil, it puts the issue of war in the context of the captains of the oil industry sitting down with Cheney and laying grand, global plans."

A baby elephant takes 9 months to gestate. no wonder these folks are Republicans.
