And amidst all the terror they have created, they lie and lie and lie and lie......
This New Zealand interview shows the legendary reporter, Robert Fisk explaining his reasons for retiring. A seemingly broken man. The inhumanity he has witnessed in 30 plus years, has not turned him into a sub-human, but it may have nearly broken a very good man.
If he doesn't return to his job, his legacy will certainly live on in the journalists who follow his footsteps. This interview brings me to tears. I have long last seen the film called the Road to Guantanamo, and seeing these news clips in the video remind me why I have often turned the film off midway. I apologise for the language in the title, but I couldn't use the"F' word, so we will have to make do with the word "bastards".
Shame on you Bush and Blair and all your cronies. Shame on all who support these lies against all reason. Those who howl down the voices of reason and civilization, and continue to support these tyrants. History will not deal kindly with this generation. Shame on us all, for we have not done enough.
Then it hit me, that may actually be at the root of our problem. It seems the American's are just not as informed, neither are they too concerned about changing that situation in a, like awesome hurry, either ;-)
The old adage about the joy of bliss comes to mind, then i am awakened by the sad realization, that not only would i be preaching to the saved, but the ones who need to hear this point of view, would probably chance over it or like, totally wank over the meaning, or just get like, totally freaked. but yes, there are some Americans who are sensitive and considerate people. the problem is they are surrounded by so much noise. furthermore, people who 'just don't give a flying flock' about the how much you value correctness, validity, or anything else for that matter, are the loudest type of all. and then, you have the nice people problem. you see, nice people just AVOID loud people and so they tend to just retreat into their own lives. afetr all, they live so comfortably, the chances are high that it would be easy to make that retreat. i call to mind a video someone passed on to me and which i should try and source for you. it showed these preppy college boys and girls who have like, never considered, going to Eyrak (that's Iraq, in British people's English). that's the 'nice people' situation. and then there are the real nice ones who go out on a limb and risk losing something, in exchange for a life time reward of having told the truth.
No one says peace. imagine that? i am still trembling. my bweeding heawt. he realized my age is 58 in my profile, and this angered him. i am a total loser freak who lives with his momma. the result of too many high budget high speed chase movies created to further dull the mind.
Now pwease, don't get me wwong. I am certain there are reasonably sane Americans, and a fair amount of them too. it's people like Alison Weir, who inspire people like myself, just regular Joe Shmoes, to rant in public like this. after all, a nation that gave rise to such greats as Luther and Malcolm, will surely give rise to more gems. They inspire hope in there still being, somewhere in the great beyond, people who will have the kindness to help me get something descent to weed (just checking to see if you are awake). Did I mention i am a great fan of old ewmew fudd? Aww my seawches are done in googwe.
Then, after these and such musings, i weawised (oops), that the terrible news about Iran's equivalent of a highly trained and motivated marine corp, were gong to be "wisted". WISTED, i tewws you. After all the diplomacy, they simply change their tack ...
... and move to another fwont to battww thewe axis somewhewe ewse, nowth south somewhewe in the area. like things expwoding with wet fiwecwackew levels of noise. I have a good mind to wwite them a nice wetterw, and tewws them where to stick that axis of thewes, but i can't. 'cause my spewwing sucks. what really lies in wait for us. God only knows. that a three letter word like God, can be so impolite, or one like 'peace' be so out of date. who would have imagined it coming to this?The US government has confirmed that the White House is about to formally designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, a new escalation in tensions between the two nations.
The Mosaic Intewwigence Weport wecentwy compwised a cwip entitwed, "Iran and US - Less than Zero". A sad state of affaiws.
But on an even wighter note, this Kaffeine Spot is good fow mowe entewtainment.

This video posted on YouTube, was shot by two Americans in Palestine on March 21st, 2004. It records the events at a protest against the Israeli wall of separation. Is the wall really being built for security reasons?
As events unfold, it becomes clear that the wall has become another point of conflict and it appears to be nothing short of a land grab. Whatever the arguments for the wall, the actions by the IDF in this video are very revealing. Is it Apartheid? Is it terror? Is any of it legitimate?
on 21 March 1960, the apartheid police force killed 69 people and injured many peaceful protesters who were struggling against the apartheid pass laws and apartheid in general. The commemoration of the Sharpville Massacre became known as Sharpville Day. Sharpville Day is now called the Human Rights Day, a day in which South Africa is supposed to reflect on issues concerning all aspect of human rights.
Sadly, the inhuman actions by the Israeli state since the illegal occupation sanctioned by the United Nations in 1947, effectively results in any given day bearing some parallel significance with conflicts in many parts of the world.
This video found on the Onion Network (Democracy TV Player) may appear to be a dark form of comedy, but what it does quite powerfully is raise the truth that no fetus would choose to be murdered (or to use the term now popular in South Africa, "terminated"). How many have realised how far we have moved from TRUE HUMANITY in the new "rainbow nation"? Without glorifying those dark and terrible days, under apartheid, the right-wing nationalists pushed a conservative Christian ethic, allowing NO ABORTION. Today, under the guise of WOMEN'S RIGHTS, and alleviation of poverty, abortion is now legal and obtainable by minors without parental consent. In subtle ways, our minds and language is now populated by concepts like "termination of PREGNANCY" when in fact we mean "termination of a life" or plainly and simply, "murder of the unborn child".
