Friends, Reuters is now carrying the news that Ehud Barak, the Israeli Defense Minister, has told people in the U.S. that Israel is an autonomous country and does not need anyone’s permission to carry out an attack on any country seen as posing a threat to Israel (which country could he possibly mean?).

What this means is that Israel will attack any potential foe using its huge cache of armaments and munitions and nukes supplied by the U.S. without any reference to the U.S. or anyone else.

‘…Barak hinted at Israel’s willingness to go it alone, saying: “We felt very proud that we never asked the Americans to come and fight for us. We basically … to paraphrase Churchill, we said, ‘Give us the tools and we will do the job.’” ‘ What a pretentious little turd Barak is. And his country is full of his clones.

Israelis are possessed of the most dangerous delusions of grandeur the world has ever seen. This tiny tinpot country of deranged religious fanatics, one which is even more hated than the U.S., will probably, in a few months,  announce its intention, after it has nuked Iran and taken over the Middle East, to control the world!

But hang on! The U.S. is trying to take over the world and is well advanced in that aim.

Friends, I’ve just arrived home and I’m feeling a bit tired, even a bit low. Perhaps it began with last weekend when my wife told me not to withdraw money from any ATMs in Sydney because scam artists were stealing the details from those who made withdrawals and making a fortune by emptying their accounts.

Then again, it might have started when I heard about Toyota, the world’s biggest car company. It seems they have been hiding faults with their vehicles for many years, faults which have led to the deaths of many people.  The Managing Director has given an apology and is to recall millions of vehicles but it doesn’t help those that have died very  much.

Then, in Australia, the Government as part of the stimulus package to help us weather the Global Financial Crisis, has given out huge amounts of money to encourage roof insulation in domestic homes. This has created a huge demand for insulation installers some of whom are dodgy or unskilled. It also resulted in substandard insulation from overseas being used. So far, four installers have been electrocuted and there have been lots of house fires. The whole scheme has been canceled.

As mentioned previously, several Australian have had their passport information stolen by Mossad who then sent 26 assassins to Dubai with their forged passports to kill one Hamas official.

This is  Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli Foreign Minister in charge of assassinations.

Friends, the E.U., according to Reuters, is unhappy with the Dubai killing of an Hamas official by Mossad. Apparently, what they are unhappy with is the fact that E.U. passports were used in the assassination, ones that belonged to citizens of E.U. countries.

The E.U. is not unhappy that a Palestinian was killed. They are not unhappy that Israel is occupying the West Bank or has Gaza under siege. They are not unhappy that Israel has been systematically killing Palestinians for decades and stealing their land. No, none of these things are important. But fraudulently using E.U. passports, that’s a big NO-NO!

 I wonder sometimes why I bother trying to make this world a better place. The hypocrisy, the shallowness, the criminality, the triple-standards, etc, that operate right across the world at every level makes me wonder that I wouldn’t be better employed to beat my head against a brick wall until I live in a permanent state of unconscienceness.

A coma might prove to be a saving grace!

Sharon, move over.

UPDATE. 25/2/2010

Mossad has apparently forged more passports to carry out the Dubai assassination including three from Australia. It seems 26 innocent people are involved in the passport scam.

It took 26 Israelis to kill one unsuspecting Hamas official who was visiting another country. Such bravery!

Then, after what happened in Gaza, it’s a wonder the Israelis didn’t nuke Dubai!

Perhaps they’ll do a trial run in Iran first.

When Dalai met Barmy.

Friends, this week, two leaders met for a chat. They are two very different leaders. The one on the left is known as the Dalai Lama and he is the Spiritual Leader of Buddhist Tibet although he no longer lives there thanks to the Chinese Government. He is a man who has little power and no armies. Yet the Chinese Government fears him because he offers a threat to their control of the Communist State, the one that is now into capitalism in a big way.

The one on the right is the Commander in Chief of the world’s biggest, most powerful army. He can press buttons and launch the war to end all wars (because the world will no longer exist). He is in control of warships, nuclear submarines, fighter jets, cruise missiles, drones, etc. When he gives orders, millions of people jump! He is also President of a nation which holds 5% of the world’s people, a nation which, despite its small population, thinks it should control the world by force if necessary, that it was born to do so.

Now, I was not there during their chat so I don’t have any idea of what they talked about. Perhaps it went along the following lines:

DL. …Tibet is a small country and China is very big and powerful.

B. Not as powerful as America! Do you know how many nukes we…

DL. Killing people is not on my agenda, El Presidente.

B. Are you crazy? Not kill people! Since America started killing people in a big way…

DL. But don’t you understand, your Magnificence? Buddhists are peaceful. They don’t kill anything. Not even an ant.

B. Ants! Ants! I’ve got a red button. If I press it, whole nations disappear.

DL. Disappear! Mmmm. What about China?

B. A piece of cake. We can do China and Russia at the same time. But with China, they’re our biggest potential market. You don’t kill the Golden Goose while it’s laying, Dally. Not yet anyway.

The Army of the Killing does this!

The Army of the Caring does this!

Friends, I’ve just come back from treatment and the ironic thought stuck me that there are two major armies in the world: there are armies of people who are dedicated to helping humans and easing their suffering and armies of people who are dedicated to killing people and taking their land and resources.

The people who carry out my treatment, nurses and radiotherapists and oncologists, are the most caring group of people I’ve struck for a long time. They always have a smile and offer a helping hand especially to those who seem to me to be in a terminal stage of illness. They are jolly in the main and tell little jokes so that laughter is frequently part of the scene. They listen to your complaints without complaint and go out of their way to ensure that minor issues don’t become major issues.

Of course, in Australia as in other parts of the world, the hospitals are always short of money. In most hospital emergency sections people have to wait for hours to be seen. Others lay in beds in corridors because there are no beds available in the hospital. There are plenty of rooms that beds can go in but there isn’t the money or staff to look after patients.

But the army of dedicated nurses, doctors, radiologists, continue on despite the money shortage while the politicians keep promising more funds for health services, funds which never seem to materialize. But wait until election time! Then money appears, buckets of it, and, all too often, it goes to fund infrastructure that buys votes rather than into health where it is desperately required.

But of course, taxpayers’ money is always available for the Armed Forces.

‘This is the way we bring peace to you, peace to you, peace to you…’ *

“The offensive has been flagged for weeks to persuade Taliban fighters to leave so the area can be recaptured with minimal damage or loss of civilian life, in the hope that the roughly 100,000 people there will welcome the Afghan (read American) administration.”

I may be stating the obvious but this deranged, fanciful objective is not the way to bring peace to anyone! Killing people is the way to create infinite hatred and the never-ending desire for revenge.

You don’t believe me? Look at Iraq!

Besides, as with Iraq, bringing peace was never the real objective, was it?

* Sung by the U.S. Marines choir to the tune of  ‘Here we go round the Mulberry Bush’. Photo and text from Reuters.

“Kill, kill, kill!”

Friends, today the Reuter’s headline read: NATO launches major assault on Marjah yet the photographs provided showed only British troops.

The article claimed the advance of 15,000 soldiers supported by air power was being led by American Marines. So just who is the major participant in this new, major assault against the Taliban? The relative numbers of troops from each country were not disclosed which I found rather mysterious.

I guess the 30, 000 troop surge in Afghanistan engineered by Obomber probably tells the true story. But why make out that NATO was initiating this attack if Americans made up the majority of the troops and did most of the planning?

Perhaps it’s an attempt by America to deflect the focus away from its incessant warmongering and killing? If it claims that NATO is carrying out the assault, when and if the civilian casualties are announced, NATO will get the blame and, given that NATO is an amalgam of countries including America, then any opprobrium will be dissipated, spread around.

This attack is similar to that carried out by the IDF on Gaza. Like Hamas, the Taliban have no regular army, air force or navy. In the main they only have light arms and they hide in mud brick homes.

The members of the U.S.-NATO forces by contrast have every military device known to mankind: attack helicopters, fighter jets, bombers, tanks, artillery, laser-guided missiles, night goggles, spy satellites, drones, etc. If a pocket of resistance springs up, they simply blow it off the face of the earth regardless of who is inside.

The outcome, as it was in Gaza, will be a slaughter.

“Jesus? Never heard of ‘im!”

Friends, the world is full of deniers! One of the most famous of them was St Peter who denied the existence of Christ a number of times when being questioned by the authorities.

I won’t go into the details because religious hocus-pocus has no interest for me but the world is still full of deniers. You can find them in any country, any community, even on most blogs (but not this one).

Modern deniers refuse to:

- admit the existence of duplicitous, power-hungry Nations (like the U.S.) that are trying to gain control of the world for their own selfish reasons using immoral military and economic means.

-  admit that Capitalism, and its twin, Greed, are destroying our world and turning people into two-legged pigs.

- admit what war has never achieved anything except to bring destruction, death and hatred.

- admit that religion is divisive and is based upon silly superstition and myth.

- admit that much of humankind is both deeply flawed and ignoble.

- admit that the ‘me-first’ philosophy, the one that, helped by advertising, drives most humans, is counterproductive and peace-destroying.

Poster girl or President?

Friends, on television I just watched an enthusiastic crowd adoring Sarah Palin. It seems she is the darling of the Republicans, the very ones that elected George Bush twice!

As I watched her, she was asked whether or not she would consider standing for President. She indicated she would if the American people wanted her and her family of Todds approved. She grinned at the camera and, her face alight, she laughed and laughed and hooted while the crowd went crazy.

Friends, I was shaken. Visibly. I thought to myself: self, what does this mean for America, for the world? What does it mean for democracy? After several stiff drinks I came to the conclusion that this possibility of Palin as President has dire implications for 6.5 billion people.

Now you may think I’ve been too hasty, that perhaps I have something against women, or something against Conservatives. But no, I haven’t, well nothing against women anyway.  But just imagine what Sarah Palin would do if she got hold of the reins of the most powerful military nation in the world?

Well for starters, she would probably do the same as Obomber does: do as she was told by the vested interests. Perhaps she might do it with more enthusiasm, might elevate businesses into the realms of holiness, might force everyone to go to Church on Sunday, might decide that markets are next to Godliness, might decide that all ‘terrists’ should be ‘disappeared’ using nukes. She might, but my concerns are much deeper.

If she was to be elected, she an ignoramus, an ex-sport journalist, a shootin’, tootin’, fishin’ soccer Mum who knows nothing, it would prove to me that democracy doesn’t and can’t work!

All Bow To Caesar. Lower!

Friends, the news is out. Caesar Obama is coming to our country. P.M. Rudd made the announcement and you would’ve thought he was announcing the Second Coming! Prime Minister Rudd will lap up the photo ops and, for a few days, believe that he walks on water all the time!

Already the MSM is in a tizzy and, in Government circles, politicians are practicing to doff their caps or curtsy or grovel to the dark-skinned potentate from America, the ‘greatest nation in the history of the World’ (at least according to Americans).

Yes, Aussie pollies think that the arrival of Obama brings great credit to Australia and to them as the elected representatives. All it does is to show to the world that Australia, or at least its government, is another arse-licking country that does whatever America demands. The U.K., the NATO countries, also fall into line when the U.S. cracks the whip as does the U.N., etc.

When I was a child, the British Empire was still in existence and I remember lining up along the side of the road to see her Majesty passing by. I waved a flag, a British flag, and thought that I would faint from seeing such a symbol of military power.

Since then, Australia has swapped allegiances somewhat. We still defer to Britain on occasion but the U.S. has taken the place of Britain, at least in the minds of many. But, fortunately, there has been a significant change in me.

I will not faint at the sight of Obama. I would be more likely to hurl a house brick at him and make offensive signs and boo and hiss.
