White House party crasher anagrams

Anagrams (letter jumbles) are a classic code mechanism. Sometimes a specific word is used as a key to understand an anagram. There is no evidence to say that the names of the recent White House "party crashers" are using false names, neither can anyone explain who they are or where they came from. They resemble Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame, like their characters were created to suck up that visual spot of media attention. It's speculation, of course. Anagrams of the letters in 'michaeletareqsalahi' come up with some interesting phrases among the noise of common words, ripe for speculative consumption, like:

• Qatar Elisha aleichem
  
• Qatar Sheila aleichem
  
• Iraq's althea aleichem
  
• Qatar Michael he is L.E.A.
  
• Michael Iraq hate L.E.A.'s
  
• Michael Iraq halt ease
  
• Altai Iraq leech shame
  
• Iraq Althea heals mice
  
• Iraq she a tamale chile
  

Whatever... the point is there is something fishy about each of those couples. Maybe they are testing the defenses and pretending to be reality show wannabes. Maybe they actually are reality show wannabes who are smart enough to be doing anything else more productive with their lives. Maybe there is always another layer to the onion in that shadowy world. (And each one makes you cry.)

In fact a large portion of the attention of the populace and of people in government gets captured by this, as our brains and pundits rattle off the possible reasons it could have happened, knowing none of the facts of that world or how people who are actors so frequently step in and play this or that petty role in some unseen drama, written by people just out of reach of ordinary citizens. So we take the motivations and actions of the characters as fact, because at a certain point most of us have no more energy to look further.

It happens on every "side" of politics, and we all know it. In fact, unconsciously we all can tell when the Deceiver steps into the room, perhaps by instinct, perhaps by smell, even if we cannot verbalize it, even if we choose to cloud our eyes with sleepy acceptance. But we can wake up -- and we can wake them up.

People playing these stupid roles in the farce of "official" politics simply must realize how fake they look, and how immature. They are playing adolescent kid's games, they are just bratty teenagers who never matured, who never took upon themselves a responsibility for their countries and the common wealth and welfare of all men, because that responsibility only bestows itself upon people who seek and promote the truth. This country, that country, "enemy," "ally," it does not make a difference -- these people are liars, behaving like caricatured punks, like spoiled kids who never chose to challenge themselves and take their lives and their efforts to the next level. Instead they play games in what they perceive as darkness that they created, for which they pat themselves on the back, but is really the wool they pull over their own eyes.

The "Spirit of Truth" spoken of in scripture is a "difficult ally" in the sense that devotion to truth must override one's devotion to even one's own principles. Because to acknowledge truth, is to know it is something more than what we know. Therefore, we have to acknowledge our limitations: we do not know the full extent to which our principles, cultural and legal, conform to universal truth. So it can be said, that when we lie, even if we do so because of principle, we have strayed from the spirit of truth. This is a difficult concept for mortal humans to grasp, prone as we are to our evolutionary training to lie to obtain safety and reproduce, that truth is more important than safety -- and that truth achieves those goals in ways we cannot fathom, and that our short-sighted schemes can never encompass.
