Daly Posting from The Wickedary
PRELIMINARY WEB ONE
The Wickedary:
Its History/Metamystery
The work of the Wickedary is a process of freeing words from the cages and prisons of patriarchal patterns. Under the rule of snools, words are beaten down, banalized, reduced to serving the sentences of father time. They are made into ladies –in-waiting , wasted and worn in the service of thought stopping grammar.
Websters unwind the bindings of mummified/numbified words. This process involves Hearing/Speaking through Other Time/Space. It implies unwinding the clocks of fathered time, which is tidy time. The Timing of the Wickedary deliberately counters the death march of patriarchal deadtime.
Webster Weave the Wickedary in the Thirteenth Hour. This Time is Moon-measured, Moon-wise, beyond the reach of man-measured doomsday clocks, * the tedious timers and ticking time bombs of clock-ocracy. It is the Time of Crone-logical innovation/creation.
The Wickedary is a declaration that words and women have served the fathers’ sentences long enough. Websters ride the rhythms of Tidal Time, freeing words. Like birds uncaged, these Soundings rush and soar, seeking sister-vibrations. Wickedary words, when Heard, sound the signal that Tidal Time has begun.
The Archaic History of the Wickedary
In a Weird sense, these Wicked Weavings originated some immeasurable Time ago.1 Indeed the Wickedary’s own origins are Archaic. They are whenever/wherever women first began/begin Be-Speaking. The Wickedary’s background is the Background.
Many of the Wickedary’s threads were Originally caught in ordinary patriarchal dictionaries such as the Oxford English Dictionary, American Heritage Dictionary, and, of course, Webster’s. This has been possible and continues to be possible because such lexicons themselves contain countless hidden webs. Websters/Wickedarians are familiar with the experience of “chasing through the dictionary” that is, of catching the thread of a word and following it (for example, by checking out synonyms , looking up words contained in the definition, following clues in the eytomolgy, or simply lighting upon another word on the page, for instance, a Guide Word). This following and chasing of words is a process of tracing a hidden Web and then Web of Webs, threading/treading the way/ways through the Labyrinth of words buried in dictionaries.
Websters are aided in the Dis-covering of Webs in dictionaries by the fact that these lexicons still contain “archaic” and “obsolete” words and definitions. Our Web-finding is aided also by the fact that there are deep resonances even in currently used words, which carry in their wake ancestral Memories of hidden Elemental meanings. Such words—in contrast to mere elementary terms, — can be Deeply Heard by those whose Labyrinthine Sense has been awakened. That is, they can be Heard/ Understood by the Internal Ear of a Wicked Webster— one who actively chooses her own Wildness. They can be seen by a Spinster who choose to Realize her Self and her own kind, that is, to See with Real Eyes .2
Wickedarians believe that one reason we can Dis-cover Webs of Wild Words in the ordinary dictionaries of patriarchy is that these were Archaically woven by Wild Women—by our own kind. Even when denied access to the written word and to the academented fraternities of Bearded Brother No-it-alls, women have always talked, Women have Be-Spoken logically, powerfully, magically, Elementally. The Race of Wild Women has always been a Race of Speakers, Spinners, Weavers, Weird Women have been Great Original Communicators, and with respect to these communications, the role of dictionary editors has essentially been merely to compile. The word compile is in itself an A-mazing clue. Derived from the Latin compilare meaning, “to plunder,” it means” to collect in a volume” and “to compose out of materials from other documents”(Webster’s Collegiate). The dryasdust pedants of patriarchy have plundered and pillaged women’s Word Weavings. They have collected and twisted the Wise Words of Crones in their tedious tomes. They have composed/decomposed documents from materials which are the Documents of Others Lives.3
The Wickedary’s History, then, is interwoven with the History of the Race of Wild Women, and its Webs are comprised of Re-weavings as well as New Weavings of History. Repairing and Dis-covering our own Archaic Webs, Webster’s create Archaic Futures. We Spin into Original Time and, from that perspective, wink at the pomposity of the “sacred” paternal pronouncements that “in the beginning was the word,” Quite simply,” the word” of wasters/erasers of women’s History is a colossal lie.
Webster’s Re-Weaving our own Heritage howl at the” history” of wan twits and windbags. As Gossips we Gossip out (divine and communicate) the secrets of our own History, which have been smoldering among the Embers of the Fires in which Fore-Crones/Fore-Websters were burned alive as Witches. These secrets —hidden by “history”— empower us to Gossip wisdom from the stars.
Wickedarians Dis-covering Webs hidden in dictionaries and Other Sources participate in the creation of Terrible Tapestries and Live in Crone-Time. We Weave in the Presence of Other Gossips, that is, Boon Companions. Crone-logically and Super naturally we Gossip out the true nature of the history of man, encountering and exposing The Mystery of Man.

Bills to Restore Glass – Steagall Are Now in the Senate and House
Bills to Restore Glass-Steagall Are Now in the Senate and the House: Americans Can Move Now to Crush Wall Street’s Power
By Nancy Spannaus, Editor, Executive Intelligence Review
May 29—On May 16, the 80th anniversary of the introduction of Franklin Roosevelt’s Glass-Steagall bill in the House of Representatives, Senator Tom Harkin (D-Ia) introduced S. 985, the Return to Prudent Banking Act, into the U.S. Senate. S. 985 is an almost precise replica of a bill already introduced into the House by Reps. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) and Walter Jones (R-NC), HR 129, which currently has a total of 63 sponsors.
Senator Harkin’s action represents a major step forward in the fight to restore FDR’s Glass-Steagall, which the LaRouche political movement has been demanding since the fall of 2008, and which has taken on a head of steam among local constituency leaders, and even Congress over recent years. In 2010, the Senate was on the verge of passing an amendment to Dodd-Frank reinstituting Glass-Steagall standards of separating commercial and investment (gambling) banking. President Barack Obama and the Senate leadership refused to let the amendment come to a vote.
Then, in the 112th Congress, a bill introduced by Rep. Kaptur (the same as the one today), garnered 84 cosponsors in the House, but was never able to be introduced into the Senate, due to opposition by Wall St. and cowardice. That bill garnered widespread support throughout the nation, including institutions such as the AFL-CIO, state labor organizations, and city councils.
The current House bill was introduced by Kaptur and Jones on January 3, 2013, and has also rapidly gained support throughout the nation. As of this writing, Memorials demanding that Congress pass HR 129 have been introduced into 20 state legislatures, with much bipartisan support. Memorial resolutions have passed in four states: South Dakota (both houses); Maine (both houses); Indiana (house); and Alabama (house). More are on the way. In addition, city councils, the National Farmers Union, and dozens of state legislators have sent letters of support for the bill.
So have leading political and economic figures from Western Europe, where many understand that the reinstatement of Glass-Steagall banking separation in the U.S. is the necessary first step to their escape from financial tyranny, which is leading to outright genocide in places such as Greece.
Why is Glass-Steagall’s reintroduction so crucial?
As has been pointed out by numerous economists, the 1999 repeal of Glass-Steagall opened the flood-gates to the financial bubble which ultimately blew out in 2007-2008. This is documented in the 2011 Angelides report on the development of the crisis, and has been elaborated in great detail by FDIC vice-chairman Thomas Hoenig, a proponent of Glass-Steagall. The repeal basically opened up the entire commercial banking system for looting by the speculative bubble, including the skyrocketing growth of the derivatives markets.
With the bailout policies of the Bush and Obama administrations, the gambling banks were put on life support, and continue to be there, through the Quantitative Easing policies of the Federal Reserve. The excuse that the bailout and easy money are needed to aid lending into the real economy is just that—figures show that bank lending has actually declined since 2008.
The starting point of any solution is to cut off the life-support for Wall Street by separating the banks, meaning that no more government funds go to support the gambling banks. That includes derivatives—which, under Dodd-Frank and the G-20 “bank resolution” policies of the entire trans-Atlantic region, are given priority because their failure would “destabilize” the financial system.
The current system of looting the living standards of Americans, and others, needs to be destabilized. With the wiping out of fictional values, thanks to lack of support from the government (or depositors ala the Cyprus model), many banks will be undercapitalized, but this can be remedied, as under FDR, with the extension of government credit for physical economic projects so desperately needed. Frankly, all these financial obligations, built up by gambling, can’t be saved without sacrificing millions of people’s lives—genocide. That’s unacceptable, and our history, from Alexander Hamilton to Abraham Lincoln to FDR, is replete with examples of the Constitutionally based alternative of a credit system based on economic and technological progress.
Complaining about the current economic injustices in the U.S., and elsewhere, is an impotent gesture, when a potent weapon is at hand to deal a crippling blow to the financial power of Wall Street, and its associated London financiers. Indeed, knowledgeable insiders report that the current financial bubble is on the edge of blowing out again! It’s time to strike now, by demanding Congress pass Glass-Steagall, and Barack Obama either sign it into law, or get out of the way.

Liam Halligan Says In American “The Glass-Steagall Debate Is Live”
June 3rd, 2013 • 8:25 AM
In a June 1 article in the Daily Telegraph headlined, “Lack of genuine reform is sowing seeds of next crisis,” [1] Halligan — who has repeatedly pushed Glass-Steagall — reported on the fact that “draft legislation to restore Glass-Steagall has just been introduced in the U.S. Senate. This is a companion bill to a measure in the House of Representatives that now has 63 sponsors. Over in America, the Glass-Steagall debate is live.” Halligan not only reports on this key development, which most major media have studiously blacked out, but he again comes out swinging for the needed policy shift, noting that “in the U.S., the debate on Glass-Steagall is now shifting,” and that voices in the UK also need to speak out, “and soon..”
“For many years, this column has banged the drum for the U.S. in particular, but also the UK and Western Europe, to re-impose a decisive split between commercial banks (that take deposits and lend to ordinary firms and households) and investment banks (which take big risks)…
“Those of us who called for a new Glass-Steagall back in the immediate aftermath of the sub-prime crisis were often derided. Yet numerous very serious people have emerged as strong supporters of this view. Outgoing Bank of England Governor, Sir Mervyn King, backs re-imposing a genuine divide. So does former Federal Reserve boss Paul Volcker and former UK chancellor Lord Lawson. Even John Reed and Sandy Weill, the two Wall Street plutocrats who made vast fortunes off the back of the Clinton-era repeal, now admit that dismantling Glass-Steagall was wrong…
“Sick of market instability, America’s mighty farming lobby last week called for a new Glass-Steagall [2]. ‘Congress must learn from the past in order to prevent future financial crises,’ said Roger Johnson, president of the U.S. National Farmers Union. We’ve also lately had a courageous set of statements from an economist called Jeff Sachs…
“So, in the U.S., the debate on Glass-Steagall is now shifting. Here in the UK, our ‘Vickers reforms’ … are a deeply inadequate response to our current predicament. While some UK authority figures have spoken out, I know for a fact that there are many, many more. They need to find their voice — and soon.”

“Treason! Playing Suicide Card with Dodd-Frank Bill”
June 3rd, 2013 • 8:16 AM
Examiner.com published a new article by Kenric Ward, [1] under the above title, on June 1. The story, based on an LPAC press release, begins:
“Implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial act will set up massive raids on U.S. bank deposits and ultimately lead to American ‘genocide,’ a new report predicts. ‘This is not some wild futuristic nightmare, says LaRouche PAC, headed by former presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche.’”
The Kenric Ward article reviews the provisions of Dodd-Frank allowing for seizing deposits, it references Cyprus, quotes LaRouche on $1.6 quadrillion in derivatives which must be covered, discusses how Citigroup wrote HR992 (the swaps bill implementing Dodd-Frank), and describes the need for the restoration of Glass-Steagall. It links to the previous Examiner article on Harkin filing the Senate Glass-Steagall bill, and it quotes LaRouche again: “‘The looting has gone far enough,’ LaRouche said. ‘The Dodd-Frank bill is a piece of treachery that has already claimed the lives of too many of our citizens, through the destruction of our economy, the continuing collapse of real employment, the gutting of our health-care system. Nothing short of the full reinstatement of Glass-Steagall can save the United States at this point in time.’”
The article page also features a video “Why Dodd-Frank is Unconstitutional,” which is an interview with Wall Street Journal assistant editorial page editor James Freeman on the lawsuit against Dodd-Frank law brought by the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

RE: Ban GMO Please! bill 79
” The entire world is threatened by genetic engineering.
If biotech was the answer to our food supply needs, it would be 100 safe with no risks.
There are too many dangers to be ignored.
The industrialization of these systems have created many problems for humanity and for
all living creatures of the world.
Talk to someone on Moloka’i or Kaua’i about the desecration of their precious land.
These “experimental seeds” do NOT regenerate causing farmers to have to buy seed every year!
270,000 FARMERS IN INDIA HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE due to Monsanto’s infiltration.
PERU recently became a GMO FREE Country – we will be the First GMO FREE HAWAI’I COUNTY!
The solutions lie in our ability to think about the connections between the earth’s capacity to endure
our activities and our way of understanding and respecting that connection.
I do not believe that genetic engineering was developed for any other reason than the chemical
companies to sell their poisons and products.
The crops are being sprayed with chemicals that are harmful and deadly, the technology itself is not
reliable (what if something in nature triggered them to “self destruct”?) and many scientists around
the world agree that the dangers are too numerous for this to be in our system of raising food.
The idea is enticing, making work easier for farmers, putting traits from one animal or food to another
to increase the plants nutrition. But this is not the case.
The only yields we can have from these crops are the ones the biotech
industry gets from its sales of its herbicides. The huge monocrops destroy biodiversity. This is not an option, we don’t have another planet to live on to experiment on.

“AMERICAN GYNECOLOGY” from Gyn/Ecology by Mary Daly
AMERICAN GYNECOLOGY
GYNOCIDE BY THE HOLY
GHOSTS OF MEDICINE AND THERAPY
(Excerpted from” Gyn/Ecology, The Metaethics Of Radical Feminism” by Mary Daly)
“I have shown in the earlier chapters of this passage how women in various cultures—which are merely multi-manifestations of the overall culture of androcracy—
Have often been lulled/lobotomized by the myths and habits of their particular social context. Drugged by the prevailing local dogmas and disabled physically, they have not always seen the intent behind the vicious circle of maiming and murder of mothers and daughters. In twentieth century America, women are lulled by the myths and rituals of gynecology and therapy, believing that “doctor knows best”. We have entered the Ice Age of Gynocidal Gynecology.
A BREIF CRONE-OLOGY
Many feminist have noted the significance of the fact that the massacre of the wise women/healers during the witchcraze was followed by the rise of the man-midwives who eventually became dignified by the name “gynecologist” Gynecology was slow to rise. Man midwives of the 16th 17th 18th and 19th centuries were under fire from women mid-wives, such as Elizabeth Nihell, who described their instruments as “weapons of death”2
Nevertheless, the 19th century witnessed the erection of gynecology over women’s dead bodies. By 1883 —The year of the death of J.Marion Sims, the “father of gynecology”(known as the “architect of the vagina”)—gynecologists could ”apply their knives at will to the whole range of women’s being reduced, as it were, to sex. “3
As G.J. Barker-Benfield shows, the more notorious mid19th century gynecologists were bent upon reducing women to their sex organs.4 Sexual surgery became The Man’s means of restraining women. J. Marion Sims, known for his hatred and abhorrence of female organs, remedied his problems (becoming very rich in the process) by ruthlessly cutting up women’s bodies. He began his life’s work “humbly”, performing dangerous sexual surgery on black female slaves housed in a small building in his yard. But rapidly moved up the professional ladder, becoming the “moving spirit” behind the founding of the Women’s Hospital in New York, which provided him with bodies for his brutal experimental operations. It also provided him with a theater, in which he performed his operations upon indigent women used as guinea pigs before an audience of men.
In his private practice, where he charged enormous fees to the rich, Sims used the “knowledge” gained through the pain and mutilation inflicted upon the poor patients at the Women’s Hospital. There were plenty of victims for Sims and his ilk, for there were women suffering from fistulae and general bad health who were desperate for any hope of help. The historical evidence suggests strongly that their “helper” Sims did not differ essentially from his gynecological colleagues in intent, attitude, and method. He simply was more monomaniacal and ambitious than most men. Internationally famous, honored by his peers, he was an object of adulation at Harvard Medical School, where the students recognized ‘divinity’ in Sims and counted him ‘one of the immortals. ‘5 As Peggy Holland has remarked, such men are” immortal “in the sense that they pass on death and fear their only true offspring.
*Mary Smith, an Irish indigent, suffered thirty of his operations between 1956 and 1959.
The black slave Anarcha had suffered the same number in his backyard stable a decade before.

I Told You So!
By Ehud Barak The Telegraph Click Here for Article
7:59PM BST 30 May 2013
The price will be high, but the key to Syria’s civil war
lies in Vladimir Putin’s Moscow
The Russians have invested a lot in President Bashar al-Assad – but they know his regime is doomed
Talk about a tough neighbourhood. The unfolding tragedy in Syria has claimed more than 75,000 lives and created more than two million refugees; the Assad regime has used nerve agents against its own people; and Syrian rebel groups have videotaped executions and even engaged in cannibalism in the name of God. Lives have been lost and red lines have been crossed. Yet there seems to be no end in sight.
Besides the human cost to the people of Syria, the failure to address the crisis carries three main risks to all who have an interest in preserving peace and stability in the Middle East. First, the fires of tribal and sectarian
blood-feuds are not easily doused in our region. The longer this conflict goes on, the greater the chances that a post-Assad Syria will end up a Somalia – a failed state of constantly warring factions.
Second, the more often chemical weapons are used, even on a small scale, the greater the chances that they will be employed en masse. So too, with each passing day, the prospects grow that these weapons will fall into terrorist hands. Israel is acutely aware of this danger and is committed to doing whatever is necessary to prevent Hizbollah from obtaining Syria’s lethal arsenal.
Third, the Syrian crisis, dangerous as it is, detracts leaders from effectively tackling a problem whose risks are far more acute – a nuclear-armed Iran.
