Creative Kids Leading Childish Adults

I clicked through the WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT, looked at the “sickening and shocking” video/pictures, and laughed. It brought me back to my childhood. This is the stuff we used to come up with. Like all kids we were triggered by the frightening, the gruesome and the nightmarish. We entertained each other with spine-chilling fantasies of death and torture. Fascination with the scary stretches far beyond childhood as witnessed by the popularity of horror and thriller films.

The long title of the article before the WARNING text promised “Death by explosive necklace, rocket launcher, or obliterated at sea: ISIS release a series of sickening execution videos from war-torn Yemen filmed in just 24 hours.”

I suspect that this Daily Mail article was scripted by kids working for the CIA. We are told and shown how 6 men were blown up in a boat, 6 blasted by a rocket launcher, 4 exploded by mortars tied around their necks, and 9 beheaded with knives. The boat, rocket launcher and mortars were set off by remote control. The beheadings were of course a hands-on affair.

Great fun! Oh come on, lighten up! This is as serious as a slapstick comedy from the silent film era. We don’t actually see anyone killed and we don’t even have to analyze the pictures. Just ask Why? These ISIS bogeymen have supposedly just “infiltrated Yemen during the country’s brutal civil war.” Planes, helicopters, satellites and enemy forces are hunting them. Yet they leisurely conduct elaborate, time and resource consuming executions. And they brought costumes with them. Look at the following picture! Everyone is wearing spotless, wrinkle-free, just-out-of-the-box clothes. The new creases are still in them.

PropBeheading

Here are the 4 men with mortar necklaces. Their hands and feet are tied. Tying them together with one mortar in the middle would have been cruel, I guess … as would going to eternity without new designer jumpsuits.

4MoreRockets

I can understand a Daily Mail reader falling for this childish propaganda. The Daily Mail is 48% ads, 46% celebrity gossip and 22% sensations. (Some of the ads and gossip are also sensational.) I can’t however imagine that normal people haven’t realized that all of the Isis-bogeyman videos stem from the minds of kids and are shot at the studios and sets of psyops.

Isis – Marching Backwards Upside Down in the Wrong Direction

!handBreak_5309
Confusing title? It’s supposed to be. It’s a metaphor about the Middle East.
The more “information” the media serves us, the more the confusion. Here’s a suggestion to make an about face, put us right side up and reverse our direction. Oh, one more thing, ditch the marching. We’re going to break-dance our way home.

Through the confusion comes a clear message, we must fight Isis (and bomb the population of any city they mark as their territory.)
Why? Because they are terrorists, they kill people, cut their heads off, and want to come here and rule us.

Yes, they kill people. It’s a war, Dorothy, that’s what wars do. They can’t possibly kill anywhere near the 1.000.000+ Iraqis* that we killed first—we started the war—but as our Israeli friends say, “We have a right to defend ourselves.”

*Isis is predominantly Iraqis, almost all Sunnis. We have also killed or supported the killing of hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Israel/Palestine.

Even if we assume that they do cut off heads, there’s no way they are going to catch up to our good friends, the reigning World Masters of Decapitation, the Saudis. 80 people a year lose their heads at the public executions in Chop Chop Square in Riyadh.

Counting the number executed and not the method, we also trail behind the Saudis injecting to death a mere 35 people a year. Should we however include the executions of unarmed (mostly dark) people by police, the US of A could lead Saudi A by a good margin.

As far as coming here to rule us, that’s a bit of a stretch for my imagination. They ain’t got no boats and they ain’t got no planes. Yes, they could get here anyway and I agree that it would be horrible if we were ruled by terrorists.

They’d probably force us to work for wages we couldn’t survive on. So much of our taxes would go to the military that we couldn’t maintain our infrastructure. They’d undoubtedly spy on us with cameras everywhere, read our communications and track our spending habits and what we read. Truth-tellers would be persecuted and imprisoned. They’d even take our money and give it to rich criminal bankers. We’d dread getting sick because the treatments would be doubtful and the costs would ruin us. More of our veterans would be dying of suicide than killed in battle because of the cocktails of drugs they’d be prescribed. The people in charge would be so corrupt that corruption would be legal. They’d call it lobbying or something like that. A tiny tiny tiny portion of the people would have just about all of the money and resources and live in vulgar opulence while millions where homeless, hungry and destitute. And it wouldn’t surprise me if they treated nature as though it were some expendable commodity, aggravate the environment with fever and threaten the future of humanity.

I agree with you completely, Dorothy. We should definitely fight with every means available to keep from being ruled by terrorists. That would demand going forward, with heads held high in the right direction. And we’d have to be strong, inventive, full of surprises and inspiring as a break-dance to break the structure of power that keeps us terrorized.

The Asshole Of Propaganda – From Patrick Henry to Rambo

Damilon-0249

Pssst, wanna buy a myth?

(Note: A politically correct title would be The Face of Propaganda, but propaganda doesn’t have a face and political correctness is the face of political decadence.)

I Know Isis Fighters. Western Bombs Falling on Raqqa Will Fill Them With Joy

(The title of a propaganda article by Jürgen Todenhöfer, theGuardian and ICH, Nov. 27, 2015)

The thrust of a propaganda article, like the tip of a knife, comes with the title. This one wants to stick us with the impression that killing people and children under western bombs fills Isis fighters with joy because they gain sympathy, support and recruits. It does, of course, but is this a source of joy? Compare: Cutting off your arm will fill you with joy because you’ll gain sympathy, support and monthly disability payments. The next amputation volunteer can now step joyfully forward.

Such nonsense. This same garbage was thrown at the victims of Israel’s vicious bombardment of Gaza last year. Col. Richard Kemp told us on the Christian Broadcasting Network:

Hamas wants the Israeli Defense Force to kill their children, their women, that’s what they want to happen. They want to get the propaganda; they want to get the publicity, the sympathy and the pity of the world by getting the Israelis to kill their population. That’s exactly what their tactic is.

Netanyahu and Hillary C. were among others who vomited variations of this theme.

Herr Todenhöfer is not quite as blunt. He insinuates that Isis and the people of Raqqa are two different things. They are not, but believing it makes it easier to sell the joy-of-death pitch. The bombs falling on Raqqa fall on Isis and the 200.000 people under their jurisdiction, people who Isis fighters interact with through family and as friends and neighbors, with teachers, nurses, carpenters, mechanics, shop keepers and bakers. They also represent protection from the violence that has raged for more than a decade and killed well over a million of their people. No foreign goons will be kicking down doors in the night abusing, beating, arresting, raping, killing, smashing and stealing as long as Isis are in town. Isis are the resistance fighters against the invading, bombing, destroying, killing and occupying foreign forces, but this must remain hidden at all costs in compliance with the wishes of the invading, bombing, destroying, killing and occupying foreign forces. Carpet-bombing the community of Western citizens with propaganda daily accomplishes the cover up.

Jürgen Todenhöfer, a right-wing racist progressive, does his part in the propaganda bombardment. Right-wing racist progressive! Yes. I’m not using these terms loosely or as invectives. I’ll explain each one starting with progressive.

Progressive
The title of this article has a sharp-edge as well as a point. Where the point thrusts at Isis the edge slashes at the military industry. Jürgen’s criticism of the bombing vibrates throughout the article in harmony with demonizing Isis. He informs us, as everyone already knows, that military solutions to combat terrorism have increased the number of terrorists (resistance fighters) dramatically. It also increases the growth of the military/security sector of the economy dramatically. He doesn’t mention this or even insinuate it, but his designated audience hears it loud and clear.

As the military sector grows it sucks resources from other sectors of the economy antagonizing major players within housing, retail sales, infrastructure, publishing, etc. Jürgen represents a resistance from within the halls of power to the military/security department’s ever-larger portion of the money pie. This resistance takes a progressive stance by opposing the prevailing policies and structure of power. Such resistance always forms in the wreckage of unsuccessful military enterprises.

During the last part of the Vietnam war for example, Mr. Hermanson, CEO of the Bank of America, testified before a senate committee about the need to pull out of Vietnam to save the imperial system. He himself didn’t take part in demonstrations, but some suits from a group called Executives Against the War did. Progressives.

Executives Against the War, Sweden 1972

Executives Against the War, Sweden 1972



Right-wing

To illustrate the growth of terrorists resulting from the war against terrorism, Jürgen writes,

In 2001 there were roughly a couple of hundred terrorists in the mountains of the Hindu Kush who posed a threat to the international community.

Can a couple of hundred terrorists in the mountains threaten the international community? The international community! Todenhöfer exposes who his homies are and his right-wing bend. It is common for today’s ruling players to designate themselves as the international community.

Racist

France is currently bombing everything that looks like camps or barracks: small factories, communal buildings, hospitals. The majority of the Arab world has seen photos of dead children in Raqqa.

Contemplate the naming of France! Looking through miles and miles of comments about Isis over the years, it is unlikely to find one that doesn’t slap a frightening qualifier on the name; extremist, perverted, atrocious, pernicious, barbaric, vicious, etc. or describe them as fundamentalist Islamic terrorists, liver-eating sociopaths, … You know the drill. Although it would be truthful, accurate and relevant to designate the bombers of hospitals and murders of children as merciless weapon-dealing French Christian terrorists such truth and accuracy do not appear in the media of the west. We are served the single and neutral word France. Notice any imbalance?

The bias describing the two antagonists is background. Jürgen informs us that Isis would have a good chance of winning battles on the ground because,

These fanatical fighters have excellent military training and love death. Western soldiers love life. The west cannot beat Isis with military means.

They love death. We love life. Them bad. We good.
Herr Todenhöfer couldn’t write such an absurdity if he weren’t a fundamental racist. His lack of frightening qualifiers naming Isis allows him to make his racist claims all the more poisonous. Starting with a joy-of-death and nailing it with a love-of-death demonizes Isis more than any frightening labels can achieve. Loving death is antithesis to any life form. Therefore Isis fighters must be something less than human.

Jürgen, who starts with a claim to “know Isis fighters”, can’t see the difference between loving death and not fearing it. This racist, former right-wing politician is blind to the obvious truth about their fearlessness. That would portray them as heroes and reveal an even deeper truth. The destruction of their homes and the slaughter of their loved ones have defused their respect for death. They’ve become equal the courage of Rambo: Live for nothing, or die for something. Or as Patrick Henry proclaimed 250 years ago, “Give me liberty or give me death!”

Jürgen’s claim to knowing Isis stems from his visit among them for 10 days. How long did the slave owners know their “darkies”? How long have the Zionists known the Palestinian “vermin”? The masters are always eager to share what they “know” about their slaves and servants.

If you can’t smell the asshole propaganda of the west, I’ll give you a clue, it’s not the fragrance of truth, peace, justice or love of liberty.

Two Brain-Shaped Clouds

RopedTie30363

I promised to follow the last post with one about the merciless state of affairs in the world. I got tied up. The Guns of Hate will be delivered, but I can’t say when. This post and The Asshole of Propaganda will come before that.

This post is ”merely” two links and a Dartwill. Think of the ”merely” as in ”We merely dropped two bombs, one over Hiroshima and one over Nagasaki.” Each link should explode in your mind and send you so far out of whatever intellectual box you occupy, you’ll find yourself on a brain-shaped cloud. They did it for me. And I imagine that if they don’t shake your world, you must be from another planet.

Hemorrhoid Hollande and Christless Christianity

TheLight_1194
When President F. Hollande’s popularity ratings reached a low of 13% my French friend told me, “He’ll soon be as popular as hemorrhoids.” After the Paris attack on 13/11 his ratings shot up to 40% harvesting sympathy from minions and marquis.

Hollande hasn’t changed since he was nearly as popular as hemorrhoids because 100+ citizens have been slaughtered. He still represents a country that is the fourth largest weapons peddler in the world, or first if we calculate per capita. Saudi Arabia is the foremost buyer of France’s death-dispensing machines. The United Arab Emirates and Qatar are also major customers. He seems intent on restoring the glory, or is it gory, of French West Africa with a military presence in Mali, Chad, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mauritania.

Although he hasn’t changed, the sudden jolt of popularity mixed with the approval of his weapon-monger friends has given him the courage to expose his nature. He has promised a “merciless” response to the attack in Paris. Before he asked the UN to join him on a “merciless” campaign French bombs were already falling on the densely populated city of Raqqa with 200 000 inhabitants.

RaqqaSmall

I’ll get back to “merciless” in a moment but I must point out that the entire western media all print the same story, shifting around the same words and phrases. See for yourself! Search “French bomb Raqqa” and see hundreds of articles all saying the same thing with the same words and pictures. Many tells us that “no civilian casualties have been reported and the civilian population does not seem particularly worried.”
ABC7, KXLY, CNN, GANT Daily, 5WCYB, NEWS4JAX and many more.

Un-fuckin-believable!
– Oh look, they’re bombing my city but I’m not particularly worried. Go out and play children, but be careful not to walk under any bombs.

Anyone with more than 13 brain cells knows that the people of Raqqa, the mommies, kids and anyone not in a coma, are terrified half to death.
T e r r i f i e d.

Tragically, millions of people fall under the spell of the unbiassed (sic & satire) corporate media of the West and go into an intellectual coma where they can be force-fed sensationally illogical garbage and swallow the illusion that a suicide bomber who kills a group of people threatens the entire international community whereas a major weapons dealer declaring to be merciless can bomb a city without worrying the residents.

Oh merciful Lord, why are you provoking my sanity?
Which brings us back to Hemorrhoid Hollande’s mercilessness. I applied quotation marks using “merciless” to copy the media’s usage. It’s formally incorrect, but it can’t be a typo when appearing in headlines and is used in several places. Why? I offer two guesses for this grammatically incorrect usage by the guardians of proper language.
1. The media is embarrassed. It’s an attempt to tone down the word and suggest that this isn’t really what he means.
2. They are trying to intimidate the Muslim world. Instead of demonstrating how they are going to cut off heads and eat hearts, they growl “merciless” before they charge.
My guesses.

Of course Hollande knows the meaning of merciless. His challenged intellect isn’t dead even if it’s weak enough to protect him from the awareness that he’s demonstrating the morals of an escargot. Let’s leave this slimy creature and listen instead to the roar of silence from the Christless Christian community.

Christians never tire of speaking of Christian morals, yet they embrace no moral not stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights except one. Have Mercy! Mercy is the only moral that can lay claim to being a Christian one. Merciless is antithesis to the teachings of Jesus and should be regarded as sacrilegious blasphemy. Anyone who encourages it, even someone with the morals of an escargot, should be condemned and, save for mercy, burned at the stake. Have you heard a single church authority, whether the progressive Pope or a modest minister comment on Hollande’s un-Christian and ungodly cry for mercilessness? I imagine that there are a few, but the media would come down on them like an inquisition.

Although mercy can be regarded as a Christian moral, it shares the sanctity of mercy with Islam, which is even more emphatic about it than Christianity. It is the very first thing said about God (pronounced Allah in Arabic) in the Koran, and voiced by Muslims daily. Allah is the All-Merciful, Ever-Merciful, Most Merciful, Especially Merciful or simply the Merciful depending on which version of the Koran one reads.

How have we come to a point where a head of state, raised Catholic, rants with rabid eagerness to kill the children of Abraham and Hagar mercilessly? Rather than serve a superficial answer to such an important question, I’ll wait until the next posting to explain this tragic state of affairs.
Stay tuned!

Serial Terrorists from 9/11 to 13/11

FlowerCrack_2304

Can anyone explain why a suicide bomber would take his passport on a mission to detonate explosives strapped to his waist? I’m not really asking. The likelihood of this being true rates with the likelihood of a passport surviving a blast that obliterates a commercial aircraft and all passengers including the owner of the passport, and then falls undamaged at the feet of a police officer.

It doesn’t matter. If the media says so, it must be true. Logic, common sense and the laws of nature are not called to the witness stand. Citizens don’t want to go anywhere near the implications of what exposing this nonsense implies. Should the validity of the Paris passport story come into question, the danger arises of doubts exploding on other aspects of the official narrative.

Why no pictures of the terrorists from any of the 100s of surveillance cameras at the concert and the soccer game?

How about the video* from Le Monde showing people running out of the back of the Bataclan theatre? An examination of the video reveals many strange actions but two are enough to expose this staged “docudementary”. We see a young woman who according to theGuardian “spent at least 2 and a half harrowing minutes dangling from a windowsill”. By “dangling” they mean hanging by her fingertips. Try it! If you can hang by your fingertips from a flat surface for two minutes I’ll send you a magic passport. You can use it to go through the magic door that disappeared during the video sequence, but is present on Google maps from before the incident and appears again the next day when police inspect the scene.

*This video was taken from the apartment window of Daniel Psenny, a Le Monde journalist who ‘by chance’ lives opposite the back of the Bataclan.

Another chance happening was reported by Patrick Pelloux on national radio. It seems that Paris emergency services (SAMU) “were so well prepared, because ‘by chance’ they had been planning for a similar scenario.” The odds of this extremely unusual multi-site attack occurring at the same time as an exercise for a similar scenario is many times greater than winning the national lottery. If the same person won the National lottery in France, England and the USA within 15 years mobs would be storming the National lottery offices and no one would complain if a head or two got chopped off by chance. Yet when the same pattern of extraordinary and deadly events plays out on three different occasions neither the talking heads, pundits or experts notice, much less connect the dots.

NYC 2001
An exercise simulating hijacked planes crashing into key buildings was going on while the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were being hit by hijacked planes.

London 2005
Peter Power said on BBC that he was working on a simulation drill “based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning”.

Paris 2015
Same-o, same-o. See above!

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to hear buzzers and bells of suspicion going off for this characteristic “modus operandi” as its called by criminal inspectors. The repetitive pattern of exercises running parallel to real events is as significant and revealing as a serial killer’s signature method of murder.

Speaking of criminal inspectors, how would one react if a prestigious person connected to a crime tried to prevent an investigation? Talk about a no-brainer! Yet that’s what happened in the case of 9/11. The biggest crime in the history of the USA and the Bush administration refused to investigate. With 3000s victims in the ashes of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, the president did everything in his power to prevent an investigation. Finally, after 17 months, pressured and embarrassed by the public reaction caused by family members of the victims (The Jersey Girls/The Family Steering Committee) demanding answers to a long list of questions, the government set up a commission stocked with politicians to document the crime. No professional investigator or forensic expert was on the commission. Two of the congressmen resigned from the commission stating publicly that it was designed to fail. Its budget was far less that had been allotted to investigate where Bill Clinton’s penis had been. The final report published 678 days after the event was described by Kristen Breitweiser, wife of one of the victims and leading advocate for an investigation, as “an utterly hollow report.” Yet even this hollow report still contains 28 censored pages. The murder of 3000 people has never been professionally investigated.

As a matter of interest, here’s one of the questions on the long list of questions put forward by the Jersey Girls:
“On September 9th the president had a war plan on his desk to go into
Afghanistan.
· What was the origin of this plan?
· Why was this plan drawn up even before the September 11th attacks?”
_______

I don’t know why I bother. What’s the use of no-brainers when so many people refuse to use their brains?

Helpful Boomers

C.Goebel1881

Painting by C. Goebel, 1881.

The US and its vassal states invaded Afghanistan to capture O b Laden. Despite the greatest surveillance and information gathering apparatus in history, they couldn’t find this dialysis patient who slipped away (with a dialys-machine under his arm?) and continued to evade them for ten years. They stayed in Afghanistan anyway killing, maiming, torturing, destroying and imprisoning Afghanis to help them. They are still there after 14 years to continue with their help.

They then invaded Iraq to prevent them from using weapons of mass destruction that they didn’t have, and engaged in killing, maiming, torturing, destroying and imprisoning Iraqis to help them. They still are. Boom!

Libya was also helped. Boom! Homes and villages in Pakistan and Sudan were helped with hellfire booms to eliminate suspected militants. They still are.

Yemen is also a source of their help but the actual killing, maiming, torturing, destroying and imprisoning has been out-sourced to the helpful Saudi boomers.

They decided that the Syrians shouldn’t have a leader that US doesn’t approve of so boom, boom and double boom!

This is a very slim sketch of events behind which lie nearly 2 million dead and many millions of homeless and devastated people. Please notice the nearly incalculable destruction in the background. Aside from this sketch, the eight documented wedding parties and two hospitals that were willfully boomed tells us almost everything we need to know about these helpful Americans and their vassals. I said ”almost everything” because you should know about Israel as well.

Israel, the foremost outpost of the US, and its vassal states, has been killing, maiming, torturing, destroying and imprisoning Palestinians for nearly 70 years and continue to do so. Boom! They were terrorizing before the word terror came into fashion. Just last month 73 Palestinians were killed, more than 2000 injured and over 1000 imprisoned. Boom!

Now we learn that these obsessive boomers must get serious and increase their booming because the ”perverted and barbaric” IS/Daesh is threatening them.

”Perverted and barbaric” are merely two of the many horrible labels that the helpful US require everyone to use when mentioning Daesh. Everyone complies suspecting that they will be helped with a boom if they don’t. Everyone also complies with the unmentioned rule not to mention the rule, Thou shall not boom!

We don’t know who usually sits in the armchair in the painting above, but judging by the picture of his wife above the bed, he must be a loving person.

When France Had Philosophers

Julcaktus5_1036
The Words of a Child of Love

In the beautiful Dordogne valley of southern France, Louise came away from the bed of their child and said, as she often did, ”The angel sleeps.”
Her husband, Pons, watched her take up her knitting in the chair by the fire. The dance of the flames seemed to enhance her beauty.
”What are you smiling at?” she asked.
”My happiness.”
”I think this is the last day of fall.”
She couldn’t have surprised him more. What a strange thing to say, he thought and was surprised even more by the love that swelled so forcefully within him.
He stood up and took her knitting from her, said, ”One shouldn’t knit on the last day of fall,“ and led her by the hand to the bed.
Nine months later, on the first day of fall, their son François greeted the world. Here are some of the things he wrote:

Quotations of François Fénelon

– All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.

– Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others as by self-examination thoroughly to know our own.

– Had we not faults of our own, we should take less pleasure in complaining of others.

– There is a set of religious, or rather moral, writings which teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that it is not true.

– Speak little; listen much; think more about understanding the heart and try to adapt yourself to the needs of the speaker than trying to say clever things to them. Show that you have an open mind and let everyone feel secure and receive comfort when they open their heart to you. Never say more than is necessary, and speak with complete honesty. No one should fear disappointment by trusting you.

– A people is no less a member of the human race, which is society as a whole, than a family is a member of a particular nation. Each individual owes incomparably more to the human race, which is the great fatherland, than to the particular country in which he was born. As a family is to the nation, so is the nation to the universal commonwealth; therefore it is infinitely more harmful for nation to wrong nation, than for family to wrong family. To abandon the sentiment of humanity is not merely to renounce civilization and to relapse into barbarism, it is to share in the blindness of the most brutish brigands and savages; it is to be a man no longer, but a cannibal.

*

As to the last quote, what would this child of love writing over 300 years ago think of today’s nationalistic and rasist cries for blood from the chorus of hypocrites in high places?
