Latuff, you're getting boring

16.07.2006 08:39

Oh dear, Oh dear, Mr. Latuff. You keep repeating your boring old mantra and you can't get through to people can you?

You should save your efforts at your unfunny and untalented cartoons, and just write this caption once in 24 hours: Jews=Israel, Israel=Nazis, ergo, Jews=Nazis.

There, don't you feel better now? And think of the work I've saved you.

And now seriously. Has it actually occurred to you that if Israel really were behaving like Nazis, there wouldn't be a building standing or a person left alive in Lebanon or Gaza?

No, it obviously has not occurred to you.

But never mind, I'm sure the moderators will hide this comment of mine because it's critical of you. That just reflects on the mindset of Indymedia.

The UK and the US have the most extreme right wing governments either nation has ever seen. Indymedia UK is supposed to be left leaning. And yet over half the comments seem to come from people whose only interest is shutting down anti-Blair statements from others and myself.

Of course, it is no co-incidence that Blair is a genocidal maniac that arose from the 'left', and thus like Stalin and Mao, carries with him many psychopathic enforcers that were previously 'sleepers', deep buried agents within leftist movements long working for the day when a monster such as Blair finally took power.

Now, take a genuine person from the left. For that person, Bush and his regime form the most extreme right-wing murderous bunch of b***ards ever to have control of the US. Now, Blair is not just an ally of Bush, but a full partner, who twins each of his ministers with their American counterpart. Blair's every action is designed to maximise the murderous use of US power and influence. This genuine leftie doesn't have to agree with a word I post, but regardless, this person can no more support Blair than he/she would have supported Adolf Hitler.

Therefore, no person of the genuine left would spend one second attacking those that attack Blair.

So why is Indymedia UK alive with comment attacking anti-Blair positions, and almost entirely scrubbed clean of concern about Blair's genocide in Gaza, Lebanon (both of these atrocities started with Blair's high level meetings with the Israeli government a few weeks back), Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Well, the vast majority of political sites on the net are far-right. The only strong comment permitted in forums hosted by the various media outlets is Blair and Bush supporting. True left leaning sites are almost non-existent in comparison (by number, and by hits), and even they tend to operate rules that kills any powerful left wing, anti-atrocity comment.

Now in this David and Goliath world, guess what sort of people come to sites like Indymedia UK to 'play'? The thick-headed trolls (that rule most of the rest of the net) are shot on sight, so that tactic is not too useful. The TRUTH is cancer to supporters of Blair, Bush and Israel, so no hope there for them. So, its back to the good old tactic of embed, and attack from 'within'.

Here's the tactic folks. People that say "I'm a long standing 'activist' and I can tell you that the most important thing any of us can do is protect Blair at all costs by constantly lashing out at his critics- Blair is the Labour leader, and that's all you need to remember".

Blair has an army of 'activists' who specialise in protecting and advancing their master. When not directly engaged in this task, they use their positions of power to sabotage any attempt by genuine anti-Blair, anti-war, anti-police-state folk to build any success from their movements. Names are collected, good ideas are screamed down, and any attempt to judge progress by success is banned.

Blair's activists target the 'trainspotters', the people for whom activism is just a mindless hobby, to use these people as a bulwark against those that seek to make urgent headway against Blair's growing litany of abuses. The attacks against anti-Blair comment here are basically for that purpose, a message to the mob along the lines of "who the hell does this person think he is". The 'trainspotter' has a very weak personality and is easily led by those with good psychological training. Perversely, the 'trainspotter' thinks that they have a strong and independent mind. This self-delusion makes it easy for Blair's agents to get these people to rage at any true independent comment, rather than be inspired to comment powerfully themselves.

Let me ask you all a very straightforward question. What was the valid activism that decent Humans engaged in across the period of WW2? Now imagine the same question asked of our period by people 60+ years in the future. EVERY DAY BLAIR RAISES THE TEMPERATURE, AND ONE DAY HE WILL REACH THE POINT AT WHICH THE EARTH BURNS.

What do we call a person who dies rushing back into a burning house to rescue his wallet. I would call that person a fool, but some here describe him as an 'activist'. Because we are intelligent, Human life is about the management of priorities. Someone who tells you that - running into the burning house to get your wallet is a valid priority - is not to be trusted.

Looking at each new day, and knowing that Blair has arranged to make it significantly worse than the last, stinks. Worse, it makes any concept of our future terrifying, and who wants to contemplate that every day? If you ever watched the UK version of the film 'Brazil', you saw the solution adopted by the 'hero'. He went mad, and sunk into a delusion of make-believe happiness. Blair has a nation of passive supporters who to a lesser but similar extent, use the same tactic just to survive.

All this means that curiosity about the mental state of the citizens of early nazi germany are best answered by the use of a mirror and ourselves.

And note how my frequent reference to the principle "if you don't learn the lessons of history, you wll be doomed to repeat them" has the Blair supporters more agitated than a zoo full of caged animals when the werewolf walks by in one of those old horror movies. Now, given that Blair's people at the BBC and ITV and Channel 4 and Channel 5 and the cable documentary channels better described as 'war' channels, ALL feed you a constant diet of programs about nazis, you might find the criticism odd, or hypocritical. Blair's propagandists can constantly refer to the nazis, but I can't? You may guess from this that Blair's propagandists are demanding that you take a VERY different message from their efforts.

1) unless they are German, from the 1930/40's, and wearing swastikas, they are no danger to the world

2) WW2 gives Israel and its tribe the right to carry out any amount of depraved crimes against the helpless, under some strange principle only understood by members of the tribe, and leading politicians in Western nations (often one and the same).

It won't come as any suprise to hear the Adolf Hitler and his top nazi chums used hstory propaganda in exactly the same way as Blair and his goons.

I, of course, take a scientific approach to history. Nazi germany lays down a lesson about a monsters abuse of a sophisticated industrial society, and its political, legal, military, and mass media mechanisms. Hitler was big on diplomacy, so that he could keep his friends close, and his enemies closer. Hitler planned for TOTAL WAR, and ensured he had the best means to achieve this. Above all, Hitler lit a fire under the globe, and forced Human affairs to reach boiling point.

And why did Hitler do all this. In truth, no-one can say, for no sane person could have expected Hitler's complete run of choices to end in anything other than mass murder, and total destruction for Germany and the nazis. This despite the fact that Hitler had many opportunities to make sane use of the fruits of his very evil works, but always he chose to spin the wheel again rather than cash in his winnings. Hitler served a greater evil, the kind of evil that can never make sense to a sane decent person.

You will never know what mechanisms work within the brain of a Hitler, Rose West, or Blair.However, just as West felt a sense of profound satisfaction knowing that her husband had prepared her latest victim, bound and helpless, Blair feels a vast sense of personal achievement having co-ordinated the near complete muting of Western powers with respect to the atrocities now being carried out by Israel. His previous minister-for-murdering-muslims, Jack Straw (a mask name like Stalin) had done a perfect job in preparation for today's events, by working tirelessly within the EU to have every single significant muslim movement in the lands around Israel legally defined as 'terrorist'. While the Israelis, via charities operating in the UK, Europe, and North America, can legally raise money for chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, muslims are frequently imprisoned for raising money for orphans and widows.

Many nations fought as bravely and resourcefully as they could against nazi attack and invasion, but what saves a people against a depraved and ruthless enemy, when there is anything but a parity in military strength. Blair finds it all too amusing to force the muslim people of the Earth to hopelessly learn this lesson again and again, this time in Gaza and Lebanon, but soon with the last of the "first phase" aggressive wars, the genocide of Iran.

You are confusing the nazis with the allies. The Allies bombed whole cities flat, without regard to military significance, with the aim of exterminating all human life within. The nazis, like the Israelis, bombed civilians, without regard of numbers murdered, to force a military victory against the target, in the name of a 'master-race'.

'Apartheid Israel' worse than apartheid SA

16.07.2006 10:13

The "apartheid Israel state" is worse than the apartheid that was conducted in South Africa, Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) president Willie Madisha said on Monday.

He said Palestinians were being attacked with heavy machinery and tanks used in war, which had never happened in South Africa.

Cosatu and other organisations supporting Palestine have called on government to end diplomatic relations with Israel and establish boycotts and sanctions such as those against apartheid South Africa.

Israel has launched several attacks on Gaza, bombing its main university and firing missiles that have killed Palestinian bystanders.

This follows the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinians.

"We see no justification for this attack," said Palestinian ambassador to South Africa Ali Hamileh.

He said while the whole world was talking about one Israeli soldier, more than 10 000 Palestinians were being kept in Israeli jails.

"My leadership made it clear ... the soldier can be released immediately if Israel responds to mediation. The demand for exchange of prisoners is justified by international law. We are not demanding something unacceptable," he said.

Professor of political science Virginia Tilley said South Africa was one of the only places where a vision had been brought forward to address collective punishment of perceived inferiority.

"I can't imagine a better beacon in that struggle than this country and it has stood back. If there is any moral authority in South Africa, it must come into play now," she said.

Madisha said Israel should be seen as an apartheid state and the same sanctions must be applied that were established against South Africa. -- Sapa

Israel worse than South Africa, say South Africa

17.07.2006 23:49

"He said Palestinians were being attacked with heavy machinery and tanks used in war, which had never happened in South Africa"

Right. Because the apartheid in South Africa was racism against blacks because of their race, and the current war with the Hamas and the Hizbollah is because of them being terrorist organisations.

Forget the numbers for a moment, and look at intentions. Israel is firing now at Hizbollah targets in Lebanon because it wants to bring down their terror network, and Hizbollah is firing at Israel aiming to hit as many civilians as possible.

(I'm typing now in a bomb shelter in Haifa, a few minutes ago we heard Katyushas exploding nearby)

Almost all the posters on Indymedia are obsessed with false dichotomies, look for the good guys and the bad guys. But it's not a situation that can be compared to Whites and Blacks in South Africa, or Nazis and Jews in Germany. Stop looking for good guys and bad guys, look for solutions. And like it or not, some of the solutions start with disarming terrorists by force, before rebuilding can begin.

Peace.
