The Trick First there ARE Terms of the oppisite NEXT there ARE Terms being the oppisite is different The latter The oppisite changes There into a lie, not a suggestion, suggested by the former you can't SAVE with your sins that things after all, could be the same So here we go with the trick the supreme defination of terms of the oppisite What is strange about the trick, is that the trick is, Like magic, IN that it remains unseen unmentioned The oil in Iraq did not and is not and will not pay for the war And oil prices will not stop rising Soon the government will have the logical spin to call it a shortage

The page uses the language of 'oppisite' terms, sin, and magic tricks to describe how Iraq's oil economy is rhetorically hidden while its costs are publicly displaced.

What survives clearly is the linkage between false oppositions and political cover, with the source spelling 'oppisite' left intact. The added marginal phrases make the opening more procedural: first one term, next another, then the latter changes into a lie. The trick works like magic because it remains unseen and unmentioned while the public is handed a shortage story instead; the note about not being able to save with your sins gives that political trick a moral charge.

The Trick reads political euphemism as stage magic. Oppisites collapse into lies that suggest things could be the same, and the handwritten right margin names the mechanism: Like magic, IN That it remains unseen unmentioned. Iraq oil is the example; the trick is how language does the hiding.
