BLOWBACK

[Limey One]

'Blowback' is the CIA term for the unintended consequences of secret operations.

Or when the monsters you have created like Saddam or Osama no longer serve

your interests and start to bite you.

And September 11th was the biggest blowback of all....

 

Step back from the Blowback

Plans that were hatched with the strings still attatched

See there's always a catch

When you're living through a blow back

You were wondring why you needed places to hide

keep one eye on the sky when you're living through a blow back

Sink into the mud watch out for the scud

Cos oil is thicker than blood in the world of blow back

From ally to madman from client to badman

From Gommorah to Saddam staring in the blow back

Invisible Sins Invisible Kings

The shit we're gonna drown in the spin

Permanent warfare Burning up welfare

Add up add up their share of the hardware

Roghts disposed of Government gloves off

Flick of the wrist Summary Justice

Feel the kiss of the US fist

Hollywood Hollywodd tinsel this

Fanning the flames of fanatical fervour

One bad turn always deserves another

Covert and subvert and secret operation

Still suffering the consequences of active inaction

Tunnelling through mountaisn buildings networks of caves

$40 billion dollars for 40,000 graves

Collateral damage and friendly fire

Talking the talk of the undercover empire

(live and direct from the undercover empire)

Whats the price of engagement

Whats the price of containment

Can we come to an arrangement

Make a buck off the blow back

Wathc the pipeline and the oil show

Its McWorld and fries to go

Starring in the blow back

One-sided triangle squarin' the circle

Pentagonal diagonal Caught out in the blow back

 

STEP BACK FROM THE BLOW BACK

 

Control now we have air superiority

Their only plane was the one we sold them last week

As leaflets food parcels explode into nails

Bush chokes on a pretzel and Clinton exhales

Sayin Cool Down India Cool Down Pakistan

Here comes your new billion dollar air squadron

Laying down a pipline through Kazakstan

The ends the broadcast live from ABSURDISTAN

Live and direct from London, Absurdistan   

 

 

ADF - BLOWBACK

If it is the unintended consequences, how can that apply to
institutional currency of persons and operations? A footnote in
Lobster 45 (the journal of parapolitics) refers to the CIA handling of
the Al-Agca business (papal assassination) and that a book resulting
claiming that he was run by Rumanian KGB, only for that to be denied
despite admission that the CIA was responsible for starting the
rumour. Surely the CIA don't change every five or six years!

Limey is an old American nickname for the English.

The British navy were the first to work out that high levels
of scurvey among sailors was due to a lack of vitimin C.
From then on - British ships carried large supplies of limes
on long trips.
Hence the Brits became know as 'Limeys'.

Too right it's straight out of 1947. It does come across as very dated, are
you very dated or English?

Okay but I learnt where my topsail was by the age of eleven.

Okay but I think redcoats might be more up to date.

I'm English and once when I used a different name in the newsgroups

an extreme right wing American guy kept calling me 'Limey Scum' 'Limey
Idiot' etc etc
So I thought I'd use it.
Sticks and Stones etc etc

Excellent, I'll stop asking you what it means then. ;-}
It is very dated isn't it? Almost enough to throw my bowler hat under a
passing steam train.

Or a district nurse cycling round the village cricket pitch at sunset.
Or an Automobile Association Official flagging you donw on the A23
to warn you of a plice speed trap up ahead - "Stay below 20mph Sir, Good
Day!"

Actually Limey is older than 1947, porbably dates back to the 19th C -
but like I say it seems some Americans still call us Brits
Limeys - and thats OK by me - Limes are one of the more interesting citrus
fuits.
US troops stationed in Britian during WW2 certainly called Brits 'Limeys'.

cheers
