is it really that difficult? REALLY?

There are some people that start the day well, and find that it has all changed, often within minutes. You know, that time that the alarm rings, or the sun comes through, waking you up, and somehow you start with a smile on your face, and a warm fuzzy glow. Within ten minutes you usually find that the alarm went off early or late, or that the sun very quickly vanishes behind the rain clouds. You might put the radio on, and then regret it as the news tells you endless amounts of doom and gloom are coming your way – those nasty people will be in your street before the week is out! The Middle East is in melt-down (again!), some boat refugees are trying to get to Australia (and failing), or the USA Christian Far Right are making yet another push at getting one of their puppets into the White House. Sometimes it’s quite depressing. When you think about it – really think about it – most people actually want a quiet life. Go on, admit it. There is little better than having a safe night’s sleep, and waking up, with a clear idea that you are going to see your family, or your family is coming to see you, and then you can potter around the garden for a bit, mow the lawn, all that ‘usual’ stuff. You don’t have to worry about where the next missile is coming from, or where it’s going to land. You don’t have to worry whether some homicidal maniac with a machete is going to go ‘postal’ in your street, and start to attack the local population – hey, you actually like some of your neighbours! As a rule, not too many people like too many surprises – they may jump at close-by thunder, at the same time admiring the lightning (but having huge respect for it). It takes a strange set of people to be willing to get violent with others (no matter how much you dislike them!). To pass that hatred off as a Divine Intervention is just plain ridiculous – it’s the same as having voices in your head, and we sometimes lock people up for that sort of behaviour! How anyone today can make some outrageous claim that the actions that they do are part of some ‘Gods’ plan is crazy – it makes no sense, no matter how much you look at it, or however many different ways you try to re-interpret it. This is supposed to be the 21st century – that means that this Jesus character was around more than 2,000 years ago. Jesus was Jewish, by the way – don’t forget that! During the last 2,000 years (or so) we have seen this planet nearly tear itself apart so many times that it’s pointless to try to count them! In the 1900’s we started quietly, with the invention of the aeroplane. I’m sure that the Wright brothers had no idea that with a short few years the plane would be used to such good effect in World War I. In the intervening years, leading up to WWII, the plane advanced even more. We saw huge monsters being used to carry massive bomb payloads between 1939 and 1945. In forty years the plane had utterly changed, and the world had changed with it. Basic gunnery at the start of the 1900’s changed during the war years, too. To end up with an atom bomb by 1945 was quite literally ground breaking stuff. In this troubled year of 2014 we are seeing too may divisions between people, for too many reasons. The joke that was the Arab Spring has descended into some form of Arab Hell for thousands of people. Although the recent Israel-Gaza conflict was hyped up to be some form of genocide, the people who labelled it so seem to have ignored the rest of the world, where genocide was truly being practiced. Syria is a nightmare, with this IS group behaving like the world’s worst school bullies, while having access to some real armament. This is the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields all over again, and the world does what it usually does in these situations, and talks about what actions may be taken. We have good-hearted people viciously butchered for all the world to see, and we sent in a few flights to pop a few missiles at what we hope are viable targets. This cannot continue, not in this form. If it is allowed to grow, IS will ruin what is left of Syria and Iraq, and its vile philosophy will pollute the neighbouring countries. It needs trashing, now, while it is still possible to do so.

26th August 2014

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Well, what else can I say? We have a melt down of epic proportions in the Middle East (again, do I hear someone say?), where Syria is a Hells Kitchen, close to a million dead over the last few (not very many) years, millions displaced, refugees all over the place, a rise in this odd event called ISIS or ISIL or just IS, depending on who you talk to. We have Egypt trying its best to stem the terrorism flow of arms into this odd 'country' (it isn't) called Gaza (Wait - news just in: it's all smiles and roses after all. Just like it was back in 2012...http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/26/gaza-ceasefire-israel-palestinians-halt-fighting) (if you believe this you are a fool!). What? Most of them are civilians? According to the statistics of who? Hamas? Well you can throw that one away - it's a worthless statistic. Like any 'piece' of 'information' that comes out of Gaza, it's rubbish. Proven. Ignore it, and move on. I have no proof (I have not experienced it directly myself) but at a pinch I would take the words from a democracy in the Middle East rather than the words from some terrorist-organised 'sponsor'. It makes no sense to 'trust' someone who is a blatant lier - Hamas, the PA, Al Qu...and many other Middle Eastern organisations. They have proven themseleves to be untrustworthy. Time and time again! They announce to the world some Israeli massacre, and within minutes it is around the world, quoted as proof, as valid, as real. Only a day or so later does the truth catch up with the lies, but by then the damage is done. Helloooo! http://thinkexist.com/quotation/a_lie_can_travel_halfway_around_the_world_while/189781.html Think of what you are doing. Go on, be radical, and THINK! For yourself, not what some utter twat in a silly hat has told you, or what you read on the Internet (and yes, that includes what I am writing here), or what some self-appointed delusional 'religious authority' (there is no such animal) (and I use that phrase most carefully) has told you. THINK! For yourself! That is you - think! While you can! We have a clear indication of what is happening around the world, and the appalling lack of action on the part of the 'leaders' of the free world. A journalist (what the hell was he doing there?) is publicly murdered, and then this gets posted to the Internet. Huh? Some egotistical self-centered bullies (the school yard type) get some modern technology (guns and stuff) and then think that they can bully the rest of the world into some form of submission? I think you need to rethink that part, dummbo! A while back, a news journalist was hands off - it didn't matter who he was, or where he was from, he was hands off. Do not touch. Instead we have this madness that is ISIL calling the shots and publicly murdering him. Well, that sums up ISIL - a complete waste of space, from start to finish. There will be no caliphate, no manic freak show of strength, no Islam 'supremacy' - after that example of what we can expect from ISIL what else do you want? They are to be eliminated. As they would show no mercy, so shall they get none. Oh, yes, that little skiff between Israel and Gaza? Get real people. Deal with the major problems, or else you will find that you no longer can!

Joan Rivers and Free Speech!

There we are: http://www.aol.co.uk/article/2014/08/14/call-to-ban-rivers-after-gaza-tirade/20946928/?ncid=webmail2 This sums it up. It sums up the current lack of thinking that we are faced with in the world, on a daily basis. People are just too dumb! It looks as though the name of Islam, Gaza, Palestine, the Middle East, and a whole lot more cannot be mentioned, as it upsets the sensitivities of some people. Not Joan, apparently. I am not a fan of Joan, I don't like her acid tongue, but she calls a spade a spade! Good for her. If she is being threatened with some form of censorship, then how? On what basis? What has she said that has upset some pathetic (oops, sensitive) people? Nothing really. She has merely mentioned that Hamas and the occupants of Gaza started this latest fiasco, years ago. They have diverted millions of dollars of aid (that did not get to the person in the street; it did however get to the person under the street), and built dozens of tunnels. Why? Why build tunnels? Are the Gaza people being shelled or bombed on a daily basis? No (until recently, you understand). There were no missiles randomly landing, threatening the lives of thousands of civilians. They simply were not there! So, why the tunnels? Come on, you may play dumb, but no-body is that dumb. Have you read any of the Hamas charter? No? Why not? Oh, you should do. It's like being a good Christian, but never having really read the Bible - you simply don't know what you are talking about! Read it, and weep: http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/www.thejerusalemfund.org/carryover/documents/charter.html?chocaid=397 Now, for all you bleeding-heart Anti-Israel types, who have have been bleating on recently about the 'genocide' taking place in Gaza. (1) You clearly have no understanding of what Genocide is, and (2) you clearly support the Gaza people without understanding just what their mind-set is. If I get called names, and told that I shouldn't take the name of someone's god in vain, then why do I have to put up with their sickening announcements and actions, every single damned day? Why do I have to read about the latest Islam-based group of utterly mad fools, who are only intent in massacre after massacre being created, with as many as they can being elimintaed (all in the name of Peace, you understand) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-in-iraq-us-far-less-likely-to-evacuate-yazidis-trapped-on-mount-sinjar-9667827.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22410392 So, what this means id that Islam is now officially the worlds nastiest, vilest, and lowest social group that you can imagine - it will continue to descend into its own form of social 'group', wioing out anyone and anything that stands in its way. Islam cannot even agree with Islam; what chance does the rest of the world have? http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/07/07/isis-blow-up-heretical-shia-mosques-in-mosul-pictures_n_5563860.html Christians aren't that different - in the USA its the apathy of the voters that has allowed so many Christian-based senators and congress people. It's time for a change - UKIP next year, maybe? But while we are waiting, many thousands more will be dead, thanks to the rise of insanity, and the utter contempt that those in power have for the rest of the population. Oh, yes - back to Joan Rivers. I don't care if this petition gets a few million votes, is she continues to talk like that she is welcome in my country, while it still is my country. If it ever looks like becoming some part of a disgusting Caliphate then I'm off - Australia, if they'll have me. New Zealand? Speak out - be heard, while you still can be heard!

August 2014 All ready to blame Israel? Again?

If anyone says that they belong to a relgion of peace, or that they think that religion is somehow a good thing, walk away. You are conversing with the Devil. Pretty good, as I don't think that there IS a Devil, but never mind... At the start of August, 2014, we are seeing daily news reports of the conflict between Israel and the occupants of Gaza. More bodies, more rockets, more hatred, more crying children. Oh, yes, the children, the women, the old, the infirm, all are somehow targets for Israel. So they say. I doubt that anything told to the worlds press from Gaza can be trusted. At least Israel tries its best to verify things! Its a slanging match - you shout, I shout, they shout louder...seriously, there will be no winners from this - only a better class of losing. The media pay attention to the wackos, those who should just STFU! Take this one: disproportionate. Apparently Israel is using a 'disproportionate' amount of force. What? That is not even a valid statement. It is meaningless. Are you telling me that if a burglar comes in with a knife, and threatens me and my whole family, then because I have a gun I can't use it? I have to go to the kitchen and find a similar knife, and hope I can overcome this burglar? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-28619671 That is a stupid thing to even suggest. (1) Israel has been fighting one war or another since it was born. (2) I do believe that Israel does not want this confrontation, but (3) it has been forced on them. Instead of picking apart Israels plans they should be applauded for being as concerned as they are with keeping casualties down. Hamas has shown that is has no such notion - they want more casualties, as this will reflect badly on Israel. The people of Gaza are mad to have voted in these animals. This guy is delusional: http://www.leksikon.org/images/gaza20090108carter.pdf Peace? Peace in our time? we are at least three generations into Israel, and look how close we are to peace. Nowhere. You simply cannot trust much of what the media says - where did they get their information? From Hamas? Lies, lies, lies... It seems that Gaza has an endless supply of these rockets, which are far from the 'home-made' label being used. They can fly many miles and kill just as easily as more sophisticated and larger rockets. End the supply of the arms to Gaza. Then there are foolish people who are calling for BDS against Israel. Ban the sale of arms to Israel! Do you realise what that would mean? Israel wouldn't last a few weeks, and Hamas would win. Then we will begin to see a REAL genocide! Hamas is vile, it's people are vile, and their ideas of the modern world have no place in it, so why are they even given air space? They are mad, bad, and very dangerous people, and should be treated as such. Oh yes - those tunnels? Anyone care to guess their purpose? Peaceful, perhaps? Something that takes thousands of tons of supplied concrete and makes raid tunnels, with the sole purpose of mass murder is a dreadful machinery that should be dismantled, and way we can. I object strongly that my country is sending my money over to Gaza - I am subsidising terrorism!

And so to war! Again! In case anyone has been asleep, Israel has 'invaded' Gaza, and proceeded to 'massacre' lots of people, amounting to some as a 'genocide'. Did you notice all those 'quotes'? That means that they are so-called... Israel has had enough of rockets being fired from Gaza into its lands, with no definite plan or target, other than to 'kill the Jews'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas_Covenant This amounts to a scary read. If any government, anywhere, announces to the world that they have very little plans for their area, except kill the Jews, then I think a few people would be upset. Why, then, has Gaza had millions of tax dollars given to it? It amounts to me subsidising terrorism, and I strongly object to that! So, why has Gaza been invaded? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/02/tunnels-hamas-israel-struggle-gaza-war It isn't hard to see that these tunnels are long and well thought out. They are not like Tom, Dick or Harry, these are expensive enterprises, taking years to build. And why have they been built, I hear you ask? To invade! To get an easy access into Israel, where they would plan to do the most damage that they could. The Israeli casualties would be in the thousands. Look at them - http://mashable.com/2014/08/04/the-tunnels-in-gaza/ As has been mentioned, the concrete used in the tunnels would have built schools, hospitals and more, benefitting the Gaza community, instead of which the population has gone short, because Hamas (and one must suppose) the PA are madly besotted with the notion of eliminating Israel. Why? What is it about this tiny country that makes it such a target for most of the Arab world? Even the United Nations (Useless Nations) seems to have been highjacked by an Arab-based set who will jump up and down with excitement over anything that Israel does, but will casually ignore all attrocities delivered elsewhere in the world. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/joseph-klein/the-un-continues-to-blame-israel-for-everything/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-un-continues-to-blame-israel-for-everything http://www.cija.ca/issues/un-reform/ http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/07/16/israels-un-ambassador-calls-for-immediate-suspension-of-unrwa-spokesman-chris-gunness/http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/07/16/israels-un-ambassador-calls-for-immediate-suspension-of-unrwa-spokesman-chris-gunness/ Such nice people: http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/08/06/hamas-shoots-fatah-member-in-legs-forces-him-to-be-human-shield/ http://www.algemeiner.com/2014/08/05/france-24-reporter-reveals-hamas-rocket-launcher-fired-near-civilians-united-nations-facility-and-reporters-video/ At the end of it all, we have seen that the Gaza 'news' is heavily doctored, and in a lot of cases faked. Screams of 'Israel did this' are simply lies, as we have later found out after all the mud slinging. The latest is for the media to get 'big names' on the wagon, calling for an end to the so-called genocide (it isn't genocide - you really need to check your dictionaries before you start to use log words that you clearly don't understand). Thankfully there are big names who will speak out about the crass utterings of some people: https://uk.yahoo.com/movies/jon-voight-slams-ignorant-javier-bardem-and-penelope-93760158541.html

Dangerous times...

Some people are so mad it is almost impossible to take them seriously – unfortunately we have to take them seriously, because they are so damned dangerous! http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2014/06/muslims-outraged-after-saudi-soldier-puts-foot-on-holy-rock/ That’s a shame. Much that Islam does raises few eyebrows (because it’s so patently nuts!) these days (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-27633227; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-27619669; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2510542/Britains-white-honour-killing-Teenager-brutally-murdered-Muslim-lover-exposing-relationship-family.html) and we in the UK seem so damnably sensitive to not upset ‘their’ sensitivities. This results in the UK being trampled, legally and socially, and it is getting worse, because few people are in a position to stand up and object. The UKIP successes in the recent MEP elections raises a few eyebrows, too. Are they racist? Are they left wing or right wing? And who cares – really, who cares? Not even 40% of those who could vote did vote! That means that fewer than 40% of the British public have bothered, and made their stamp, and the other 60% have got to put up with the results. And this is a democracy? I think it’s a failing democracy, and it is sadder by the fact that we are supposed to be the home of democracy and decent elections. It will be interesting to see what happens this time next year, at the UK elections. Will UKIP do damage, or will the fickle UK public fall back on the two-party scenario? We shall see… The current power-plays around the world are a real threat to world peace – we have had centuries of blood and tears, and having survived the mess of the 1900’s I hoped that the 21st century would be a time of enlightenment, not a reversion to primitive mentality from hundreds of years ago. Whatever happens in the elections – and I include the USA ones, which are not far away – is vital for the next few decades. Do we submit to ancient ideologies that honestly have no place in the modern world, or do we identify borders and limits, and enforce them? In spite of the limitations of the modern political systems in the West, they are the best that we have! To allow Islam to destroy is literally suicide for millions of people, and it must be prevented. We must have decent legal processes in place for all of us to survive.

A waste of good Oxygen

There are people on this planet who clearly should not be. On this planet, that is. It would be better for all if they were under it (about 6 feet will do) or off it completely. It's not hard to find these 'people' (I use the term loosely...). They are animals, with no real understanding of the world today. They live in some centuries-old mentality, and expect all others to accept this! http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/05/05/boko-haram-girls-nigeria-kidnap_n_5267267.html?1399303308&icid=maing-grid7|ukt3|dl1|sec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D262236 These animals are a waste of good Oxygen. They really would not be missed if we could move them to the moon, or somewhere else.
