Only once before have I had the courage to reveal myself. See, this is me, just another Don Q!

I too have spent a whole lifetime tilting at windmills and they have beaten me every time.

Luck never rode by my side, not even once. But still I did my best with what skills I had.

My life has been wasted following roads that never went anywhere, chasing foolish dreams,

Like trying to change the world, like seeking everlasting love, like trying to find who I was.

Now, as I begin to approach the harsh reality of old age, how will I cope, what will I tell myself?

Perhaps only that I fought hard and lost; just like most of those who went before me!

“This is the situation we’re facing,” explained Nabeel Rajab, President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights. “We are not only facing a regime and neighbouring powers, but American influence as well. They either do not want to see change or only slight changes that do not give people real democracy because the monarchy might lose power. Everyone sees the US double standards very clearly now. They see Gaddafi hitting people and the US strike back. But here they even bring in foreign armies (Saudis) who don’t believe in democracy and are killing people on streets and the US does nothing. It is a big mistake the Americans are making, losing people, losing the faith of the streets.”

Friends, this paragraph was taken from an Al Jazeera article called “The West’s double standard in the Middle East” by Mark LeVine. It is an article that should be read because it shows just how treacherous the U.S. is as it plays different political games with different countries.

Of course, in Bahrain, as I’ve mentioned before, the Yanks have a huge naval base there and they want the royal despots who run the country with an iron fist to remain there in case they are asked to leave by a new regime. This contrasts with Libya where people being killed and the U.S. was in there like a cockroach seeing an open refrigerator! The U.S. is now promising to arm the rebels. Better buy some shares in armament industries while you can. Soon you won’t be able to afford them!

So the killing of Arabs is sometimes an act which requires immediate bombing and sometimes it requires looking the other way. The Bahrainis are now beginning to experience what the Palestinians have put up with since 1967.

NATO blowing up a Libyan tank!

Friends, as you would realize NATO is now running the show in Libya although the U.S. is still in the shadows there and its planes are doing what they do best: spreading death and destruction.

Perhaps you’ve forgotten who belongs to NATO so I include the following for your information:

The original twelve members of NATO in 1949 were the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

In 1952, Greece and Turkey joined. West Germany was admitted in 1955 and in 1982 Spain became the sixteenth member.

On March 12, 1999, three new countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland – brought the total number of NATO members to 19.

On April 2, 2004, seven new countries joined the alliance. These countries are Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

The two newest countries that joined as NATO members on April 1, 2009 are Albania and Croatia.

Russia remains a non-member of NATO.

In the military structure of NATO, a U.S. military officer is always commander-in-chief of NATO forces so that U.S. troops never come under control of a foreign power. So America can command the troops of 28 other nations but won’t allow them to have control of anything. Sounds reasonable, eh?

This probably explains in part why the U.S. is breaking both legs to get out of the current NATO Coalition of the Killing.

F-15 Strike Eagles: another wonderful American gift to the world!

Friends, this is a photograph of an American fighter plane, one of 80 which the U.S. is selling to Saudi Arabia. According to Al Jazerra today, the U.S. is going to train Saudis to fly these menacing planes in ways that increase their potential to kill.

Of course, you would be aware that there is trouble in Saudi Arabia as the people rebel against their despotic Kings. So who do you think will be the targets of these  jets which, as you can see, are bristling with every conceivable missile and bomb and machine gun?

Of course, these America planes are only one of many fighters being produced by the U.S. Armament industries. France produces these types of planes too as does Russia. There are others.

Is doesn’t take a lot of imagination to work out how many fighter jets there are in the world and how quickly their numbers are increasing. And you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out what the end result of a world filled with weaponry like this and nuclear bombs will be eventually.

Have Weapons – Will Use Them is the outcome of all this expenditure on weapons, expenditure led by the U.S. which, having put together the world’s biggest army, wants every other nation on earth to build up its military (but not too far) so that America can profit from endless war.

Friends, according to the Bible, Moses parted the Red Sea and led his people to the Land of Milk and Honey. I don’t know where that land has gone but now we all live in a world of Bilk and Money. Unfortunately, those who bilk have most of the money and the rest of us battle, struggle or starve.

In the spirit of a non-existent land of Milk and Honey, I found this wonderful photograph which has been re-worked but who cares. It shows a world in which we would all like to live, one where butterflies predominate (instead of Apache helicopters and cruise missiles), where crops are lush, where rainbows fill the skies, where peace and happiness prevail.

Such beautiful places do exist. We, neo-humans, must seek them out, frequently restore ourselves to ensure our spiritual survival.

Which face is that of America?

Friends, as the U.S. tries to shovel the responsibility for Libya onto NATO, it has, over the past few weeks, had its carefully structured mask and clothes stripped away and it stands in its birthday suit. It is a pathetic sight!

Yes, this nation that claims to lead the Western World has been shown to be an arch symbol of hypocrisy. It is in fact leading the world towards military and economic domination by itself.

It has talked incessantly about championing human rights and freedoms while it has supported the worst kind of dictators and Royal Despots who brutally oppress their people. Now that these downtrodden people are demanding freedom, the U.S. doesn’t know whether to support them or their cruel leaders.

So it is now adopting different positions depending on which country is involved: Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen…etc, the U.S. has more positions than the Karma Sutra!

It has talked constantly about human dignity and the importance of the rule of law while it has supported the brutality of Israel towards the Palestinians. It uses double-speak, triple-speak, quadruple-speak depending on where it is and what interests it has that it is trying to protect. The WikiLeaks revelations have shown that.

And, while it has deceived the world, it has engaged in torture, and rendition, and has spied on its own citizens and engaged in the punishment of dissenters and protesters within its own borders, not what you would expect from a nation claiming to be a Beacon on the Hill.

Gaza gets some Israeli remodeling via U.S. arms!

This Gazan child got some Israeli remodeling too!

Well, a suitcase bomb has blown up in Jerusalem and one Jewish woman was killed and thirty other injured. This was the first bombing since 2004, during which period the Israelis pretended to be negotiating with Abbas, the unelected head of the PLO and Fatah.

During the seven years, the traitorous Abbas achieved nothing, absolutely nothing for all his toadying and capitulation and collaboration while the Israelis, supported by the Forth Reich, continued to build settlements in the West Bank like there was no tomorrow, and enlarge the division between the Palestinians, and bomb and shell Gaza on frequent occasions.

This bombing demonstrates that someone within the ranks of the Palestinians has realized that the Israelis, driven by their religious fanaticism, are never going to give the Palestinians anything, not even a sniff of a Jewish armpit. Someone has finally realized that they are only going to get some justice if they fight for it, something that Arafat realized long ago.

Whether the Palestinians can manage to put their differences aside and get their freedom fighters up to speed again is another question. But they have no other choice. If they don’t fight, they will be further marginalized and neutralized and, eventually, they will be cast into the surrounding deserts, a people without a country as the Jews once were.

Of course, during the seven years the bombing of Gaza in 2009 with 1,400 plus Palestinians killed (including 400 children) was a highlight of Israeli immorality and depravity and war crimes.

It’s almost laughable watching the members of the Coalition of the Killing avoiding being crowned King of the Libyan Invasion.

Big Brother America is pretending to be running at a thousand miles an hour from being the King, a most unusual stance for the world’s major warmonger who also claims to be the leader of the Free World (have you found it a free world perchance?).

And the other parties, the English and the French and a motley group of hanger-oners seem happy enough to bomb the b’Jezz out of Gadaffi but don’t want to take responsibility for any more action.

So the game goes on kind of like pass the parcel. It’s a red hot parcel because Gadaffi, though quite mad, is obviously not going to vacate the scene as was expected. So there is talk now of a stalemate, even of a civil war.

Obomber, busily engaged in fighting two major war and a number of smaller operations, is playing the ‘I don’t want the U.S. to become involved in a war’ role like there’s no tomorrow. It’s rather ironic really.

Who does he think he’s kidding? The American people of course and the rest of the world as well.

Way back then!

Now!

Some animals are very slow learners!

Friends, as I was watching a news bulletin on the preparation for imposing a no-fly zone on Libya (which means more bombing and killing and the further enrichment of the arms industry), I was struck by the objectives of PEACE which fly in the face of everything the world is doing about Libya and in most other places.

PEACE, with its membership of  36, stands for anti-war. PEACE stands for anti-armies. PEACE stands for anti-nationalism. PEACE stands for anti-capitalism. PEACE stands for anti-imperialism. PEACE stands for anti-institutionalized religion. Peace stands for anti-politician (given that most politicians are self-seekers who only care about advancing their own agenda and that of their owners).

PEACE stands for cooperation, for peace, for real democracy, for treating each human as a citizen of the world, a citizen who deserves to share equally in the world’s bounty, who deserves to receive justice, who deserves to live a happy life free from war, from poverty, from exploitation, from domination and fear.

We, though we have only 36 members, are neo-humans. We stand for a new beginning. We stand for a new paradigm. We stand for the sweeping away of the old, of the  failed, and the setting of a totally new political and economic order.

Which other voice is calling out for real change? Name them!
