Ethnic Cleansing Is Our Own Fault
Elaine Meinel Supkis
Skull and Bones magic number day! And this is when we get to look into the eyes of the Other Beast: WWIII. Iran, far from being isolated, is moving forwards rapidly scoring one diplomatic coup after another. The US sends more troops, more ships to the Middle East while England pulls out Prince Hal. The NYT hauls out old photos of Darfur to scream about that while fellow Jews reinvade Gaza, killing many. Jews in Israel's leadership scream that they will create a 'shoah' worse than the Holocaust in the Gaza Warsaw Ghetto. The Nazification of the Jewish people is nearly complete. Also, a woman who wrote a book about her childhood running from Nazis turns out to be a total fabrication. While anyone questioning the Holocaust in Europe are put in prison! What a world this is. Upside down.
BREAKING NEWS: Abbas breaks contact with Israel
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has suspended contact with Israel in protest at an assault on Gaza which has killed about 100 people, an aide says.
The suspension came amid angry demonstrations in Gaza and clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank.Israeli PM Ehud Olmert vowed to carry on the assault, which came in response to militant rocket attacks on Israel.
The violence intensified on Saturday, when nearly 70 people were killed in one of Gaza's bloodiest days in years.
Local doctors said at least 13 of the Palestinians were civilians, including eight children.
At least another five people were killed overnight in Gaza.
Egypt said it had opened its border crossing with Gaza and was letting critically injured Palestinians across to get medical attention
I published the story just before this news broke. I am not surprised. Israel never wanted any negotiations with Abbas, they wanted time to do more damage to the Palestinian people in this historic ethnic cleansing episode. The Egyptian dictator is in US pay but the billions we give him are going to dry up thanks to the US going bankrupt. The Jews doing these things should come to terms with the idea that Palestinians are every bit as proud and stubborn as they. The one-sided negotiations whereby the US puts a gun to Arab heads and barks commands has collapsed with our failed occupation of Iraq. Now, back to the original story I published an hour ago:
Scorched-Earth Strategy Returns to Darfur
The janjaweed are back.They came to this dusty town in the Darfur region of Sudan on horses and camels on market day. Almost everybody was in the bustling square. At the first clatter of automatic gunfire, everyone ran.
The militiamen laid waste to the town — burning huts, pillaging shops, carrying off any loot they could find and shooting anyone who stood in their way, residents said. Asha Abdullah Abakar, wizened and twice widowed, described how she hid in a hut, praying it would not be set on fire.
What is the Israeli Defense Forces smoking, anyway? If not janjaweed then it is something worse! Maybe they are all sucking down crack? The New York Times has been beating the Darfur drum like crazy. Spielberg, a Jewish director who is very famous, used the US media to run a frontal attack on China over the subject of Darfur. Back then, I demanded to know why he didn't do the same over Israel's many war crimes. What ails him?
Of course: he is one of many ethnic/religious bigots who believe that they can do any type of ethnic cleansing they wish while at the same time, attack anyone who suggests ethnic cleansing by Jews is as evil as the deeds of German ethnic/religious cleansers like Hitler. Indeed, I have lost many, many readers due to my uncompromising position on ALL ethnic cleansing: if it is done by Hindus or Jews, Muslims or Christians, it is pure evil. My family came to America and then had a revolution along with many families who came here and had a revolution for the main, chief reason we came here was due to religious persecution and ethnic cleansing. We even married into the Native Indians here and each generation has married into many religions from Protestant, Jewish, Buddhist, Catholic, Shinto, you name it, we married into it. And when we had this Constitution created, we wanted freedom of thought and freedom of worship.
The US has always wrestled with ethnic/religious cleansing issues. We have marred our Constitution with many unconstitutional laws concerning inter-religious and inter-racial marriages, for example. The trend is supposed to be towards integration despite all the set backs we go through. For this alone, I hope that Obama is our next President. There is rising Jewish unease with him despite his declarations of fealty to the concept of ethnic cleansing in the Middle East. This tears at his own heart since he and his wife can never live in Israel nor can anyone of their family from now to the end of time. For it is a purely racist state.
To cloak this, Jews in the media have hauled out Darfur again and again. They claim they are in support of saving the mud huts of the poor people in Darfur even as Jews mow down stone houses in the Holy Land in their ongoing ethnic cleansing regime. I didn't cover the story of how they are trying to kick out Japanese sushi makers because they want ONLY JEWS to make sushi, for example. This is so ridiculous, it reminds me of racism in the Deep South of my childhood. This didn't make the NYT, of course, despite the fact that Jews in New York City love Japanese sushi and this is why Japanese sushi makers went to Israel in the first place: to please NY Jews who visit Israel frequently!
Again, my usual warning: if we talk about Christians and Muslims by calling them these names, we MUST talk about Jews by using that name to address who they are! I get hammered on this periodically. Now, to fly backwards in time, we must revisit the people who suffered similar ethnic cleansing at the hands of Zionist Jews that was much worse than in Darfur since it was backed by the winners of WWII who executed Nazis for doing this:
Cleansing Jaffa: A detailed eye witness account
Shortly after the Partition Resolution of 29 November 1947, the inhabitants of Jaffa began to experience a gradually increasing campaign of terror aimed at driving the Palestinians out of their magnificent city. Following is an account of the main Jewish actions. Unfortunately the Palestinians had not then realized what was behind this terror :-There was daily sniping from water reservoirs in Tel-Aviv, Bat-Yam and Agro-Bank which bordered Jaffa from the North, South and East. Palestinians were shot while walking on exposed city streets, while driving or while sitting in outdoor coffee houses.
One afternoon as I came out of a building with one of my two clerks and was trying to unlock my car door a bullet passed between me and the door and hit the rear door of my new Hillman car. Foolishly I did not run back into the building but opened the door and dashed with my clerk in the passenger seat. until I was behind a solid wall. There I came down to inspect the car and found a Bren Gun bullet to have penetrated the rear door and settled in the back seat of the car.
Palestinians, both city dwellers and farmers who came to Jaffa from their villages to conduct business were in the habit of sitting in out door coffee-houses, drinking coffee, smoking and chatting about business and politics. There would be a radio loudspeaker on the outside wall. The Arabic news were broadcast at specific hours and in those tense times people were eager to hear the newscasts. There were five occasions when at the news hour while most of the coffee-house attendants congregated close to the wall to hear the news, a Jewish jeep would appear from nowhere, roll a barrel charged with anti-personnel explosives and dash away in the direction of Tel-Aviv. Usually this resulted in some 15-20 dead and 50-60 injured.
Every night we woke up at the sound of shooting coming from the Eastern and Southern borders of Jaffa, i.e. from the directions of Agro-Bank and Bat Yam Jewish Settlements.
Sometimes it seemed so close to us that we had to sleep on the floor. Occasionally in the daytime Yvonne, my wife, picked up large bullets stuck on the outside of our stucco walls.
On a Sunday, that I can never forget, I was in my office with a couple of clients and my staff. About 1.00 p.m. we heard a thunderous explosion which shook us off our chairs. I thought this was an explosion in a coffee-house under my office. I told everyone to stand under a door arch believing that another explosion was going to follow, and this would be safer than being in the center of a room. Nothing happened for a couple of minutes. I then crawled to my desk, grabbed the phone to talk to my wife. There were no telephone lines. Shortly afterward my senior clerk ventured down to the street and came back with the news that the huge office building facing the clock square was blown up. I then closed the office and drove home through a detour. The picture then became clearer. A jeep with a huge TNT bomb parked in an alley next to the building. The driver descended and walked to another waiting jeep which dashed off towards Tel-Aviv. Moments later the huge building with its wide stone walls' was turned into a heap of rubble. This resulted in the death of some 10- 12 social workers. I knew all of them and they were, all American University of Beirut graduates, who were engaged in welfare work for the poor and handicapped.
A Jewish clandestine radio was constantly broadcasting in Arabic urging the population of Jaffa to escape with their families before their houses were blown over their heads. "There will only be crows crowing from the ruins of your demolished homes." The broadcasts constantly reminded the Palestinians of the slaughter on April 9, 1948 of 250 civilians in ,the Arab village of Deir Yassin, near Jerusalem (all the victims., including pregnant women were bayoneted and dumped in the village well. Years later the Stern Gang headed by Yitzhak Shamir took credit for this heinous cold blooded massacre).
My two clerks who were brothers of the Bahai faith lived in a house with the elder brother's wife and two young children in the Manshieh Quarter close to Tel-Aviv. One night intensive Jewish fire forced them to seek shelter with another family and Jewish terrorists blew up their house. Since these were abnormal times I invited the whole family to stay in our villa until things cleared up. We thought they would also take care of our house when I traveled with my wife to Cairo where she would fly off to the USA for a reunion with her family in Honduras, and I would attend the Arab Bar Convention in Cairo on May 15, 1948.
My wife was in her 8th month pregnancy with our second daughter. She was scheduled to fly with our 2 year old first daughter on Sunday the 25th April 1948 to New York to be met by her parents who had not seen her since 1939 when they left their stone villa in Upper Baq'a Quarter, Jerusalem, liquidate their business in Honduras and return to live permanently in Jerusalem. The outbreak of World War II followed by Jewish terrorism preceding the Partition Resolution was enough to prevent them from returning.
At about 4.00 a.m. on 25 April there was a distant sound of bomb explosions from different directions of Jaffa. With the beginning of daylight the sound was becoming louder. My younger clerk had ventured downtown to explore but soon came back with a shrapnel wound in his right thigh. It was not too deep and we administered first aid to the cut. He told us that mortar bombs were dropping on the center of town including some residential areas. The bombs were coming from Tel-Aviv and Agro Bank and Bat Yam Jewish settlements. I contacted our travel agent who had made flight reservations for us from Lydda airport to Cairo. His wife was also scheduled to fly with us. He said all flights were suspended indefinitely. Then I decided to drive out of the city in my car. Our target was Amman, Transjordan, where my brother had moved his family temporarily. I drove to the house of Edmond Rock, the Honorary Consul of Transjordan to obtain visas to enter the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. He readily stamped our passports, whereupon I made two attempts to drive out of the City and twice mortar bombs exploded on the highway in front of us which compelled me to make a U-turn and head back home.
I drove to the safer sea harbor area and found a couple of hundred people assembled there with suit-cases and bundles of clothes. They were in a state of panic hoping that some boat would sail into the harbor and take them out. Among them were a few friends who approached our car and asked if we wanted to be included in lists they were preparing. My wife adamantly refused as she feared the sea. I drove back home and later I joined a couple of prominent figures to call Mr. Crosby, the British District Commissioner and ask if the British had already decided to surrender Jaffa as they seemed to have done with Haifa some two weeks earlier. He denied any such intention and promised to detail army tanks to roll through the streets of Jaffa and restore confidence to the population. Shortly afterward 3 tanks passed through the main streets headed by a tank with a standing army officer holding a map of the city.
Gradually the thumping sound of mortar explosions was gradually becoming more distant. In the evening there was complete silence, but the experience had planted a sense of fear and despair in the hearts of everyone. We hardly slept that night and early in the morning I drove off with my wife and baby daughter out of the City along the only highway that lead to Yazur, Sarafand and Ramleh. This was the main route to Jerusalem. As we passed in front of the Neter Jewish Agricultural Settlement we saw a large group at the entrance gazing at all the fleeing cars and trucks and laughing. We had to take a detour to Transjordan via Ramallah. We arrived' in the late afternoon and could find no place to stay. After one night at the Philadelphia Hotel we flew in an Egyptian Beech craft to Cairo. There I met an old friend who told me that my clerk and all his family were in a refugee camp in Cairo. I could not believe that and we took the trolley to the camp. They were there and they told me that when they saw everyone else leaving they panicked and took a bus to Cairo. At that moment it suddenly dawned on me that the tragedy was far worse than I had anticipated. With my wife's condition (eighth month pregnancy) and following consultation with doctors in Cairo I had no alternative but to accompany her and our older daughter on their flight to the US.
Now, forwards in time after we finish being sick about all this hypocrisy in the media, forwards to the Washington Post today. This rag is one of the premier warmongering rags on earth, bar none, since WWII. We executed Nazis for their own warmongering news editors in 1945, after all. I hope our own go on trial eventually:
In Search for Peace, a Shrinking White House Role
When Palestinians broke through the barrier dividing the Gaza Strip and Egypt in January and streamed across the border by the tens of thousands, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak faced a moment of crisis. His phone soon rang, but the world leader offering help on the other end was not President Bush -- it was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mubarak took the call, resulting in the first such contact between leaders of the two nations since relations were severed nearly three decades ago.As Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice heads back to the Middle East this week, three months after Bush hosted a peace conference bringing together Israelis and Arabs in Annapolis, prospects for peace have shifted dramatically. There has been little clear movement in peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, while the Iranian-backed militant group Hamas has shown increasingly that it can set the region's agenda.
Hamas rockets have continued to rain down on Israeli towns, prompting deadly counterattacks by Israel amid increasing speculation that Israel will invade the narrow coastal strip housing 1.5 million Palestinians that it abandoned just two years ago.
Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator, said that key players in the region are moving beyond the Bush administration. "The feeling is that if you keep the flash points on a lower or somewhat higher flame, it will give you more cards when a new administration comes in," he said, speaking in a phone interview from Israel. "Everyone is sucking up to the Iranians," he added.
Who had been killed by Iranians lately? No one? I know the US blames Iran for the insurrection in Iraq. But the idea that it was homegrown baffles the US. Since much of our military thinking is directed by neo-con Jews put in power by the Republican party, the inability to differentiate between invasions and insurrections befuddles our entire foreign policy. The US has ALWAYS SUPPORTED MANY INSURRECTIONS. The US public is not reminded of this sordid fact, of course. Indeed, as Iran supported Shi'ite insurrections, the US supported terrorists in Iran! We have always supported coups and terrorism against Iran! Except when we control it. Then we are against this. We want everyone to stop and obey orders! But this childish idealism is thwarted by others playing the exact same game.
So we have to differentiate all this from open military invasion. Again: Iran has invaded no one. Israel and the US/UK/NATO behemoth has been invading nations, not them. The US/UK/NATO behemoth has been severing nations into smaller pieces such as the most recent example of hostile attacks on national sovereignty when they yanked Kosovo out of Serbia. There are many such disputes across the earth. The formula is very simple: any nation allied with Russia or China cannot be allowed to be a nation, the US/UK/NATO group will move to side with any and all ethnic cleansing minorities to rip them out of the sovereign nation and make them 'free' so the sovereign nation is much weaker and smaller. But any groups like, say, the Catholic Irish or Basque people demand the same, they are brutally crushed and their claims thrown out with vigorous denials of the right to self-rule!
Iran has invaded no one. Even in the war started by Saddam Hussein, they didn't invade Iraq even as Shi'as were massacred by Saddam. They haven't invaded any Gulf nations at all. The Hezbollah in Lebanon aren't invading anyone, either, they are fighting Israeli expansions. And Israel has been expanding like crazy and thus coming in conflict with everyone. The other day, I read about one Israeli official who wants to build a 100% Arab city in Hebron. He pretends he is doing this out of the kindness of his heart since Israeli Jews are Nazis and won't give ANY Arabs building permits nearly anywhere Jews want to confiscate land!
So he wants to move them to a 'city' which I suppose will be named, 'Warsaw II'. In this ghetto, they will be ruthlessly locked and the lucky Jews on the outside could dance about merrily and laugh about how powerful they are. This is a disgusting mental picture but it is the truth. This week, Israel did it again: threatening to bring down 'shoah' on the heads of their victims! They want to make a Holocaust in Gaza and thus end the problem of ethnic cleansing!
Any European who is non-Jewish, were they to call for a 'shoah' on the Jews living in say, Germany or France, goes to PRISON! If anyone dares to even suggest the data about the Holocaust is faulty GOES TO PRISON. If I were in Europe, they would put me in prison for writing about how Jews are now imitating Nazis. We are supposed to be unable to see this painfully obvious parallel. Since Jews obsess about Hitler, the fact that they are now his clone should frighten them! When Gandhi's son suggested they had a problem with this the other day, he was thrown off the warmongering Washington Post, thrown out of his position in the peace group he headed at a NY university and thrown out of the media, the news and vanished by outraged Jewish Nazis! Wasn't that funny?
No one is allowed to talk about this for the Jews are deep inside, embarrassed and ashamed of this. So, in a classic Freudian flip, they project this shame onto others and scream at everyone to shut up or else. In the US, they have been frantically trying to pass laws here that destroy our last shreds of the First Amendment. Recently, a bill was passed that allows them to put in prison anyone calling for violence or physical attacks on the ruling elites. Since they have a grossly outsized grip on our political powers, this means to protect them from any uprising from below in the future.
Here is the latest example of bizarre things about the Holocaust, the strange upwellings of psychological fantasies that disturb our dark dream world:
Author: My best-selling Holocaust book is a hoax
A Belgian writer has admitted that she made up her best-selling "memoir" depicting how, as a Jewish child, she lived with a pack of wolves in the woods during the Holocaust, her lawyers said Friday.Her two Brussels-based lawyers, siblings Nathalie and Marc Uyttendaele, said the author acknowledged her story was not autobiographical and that she did not trek 1,900 miles as a child across Europe with a pack of wolves in search of her deported parents during World War II.
"I ask forgiveness to all who felt betrayed," Defonseca said, according to a written statement the lawyers gave to The Associated Press.
There are a number of such similar cases of total fantasies about Nazis coming to light. All the first publications and passages of movies, etc that this industry churns out get praised and funded by Jews. They want desperately to increase this industry. Note how the Jewish President of France tried this recently! I suggested he should have French children learn about Palestinian children in Gaza instead. In the case of Professor Finkelstein, for example, son of Holocaust victims, the Jewish community has driven him out just like they did to Gandhi's son. They want to exploit the Holocaust even if it means supporting fabricators, liars and swindlers. This lady's bizarre story should have been investigated but wasn't. The Jewish reporters and publishers refused to do this. They desperately wanted to believe any sort of claim no matter how bizarre so long as it made them look like victims. The more they butcher or victimize Palestinians, the more this alternate universe has to grow!
I have known a number of Holocaust survivors. None of them wanted to talk about anything to do with it. It was too painful! The Holocaust was VERY REAL and VERY HORRIBLE and should never have happened. But after WWI, the victors proclaimed that all ethnic groups deserved their own nations. This set into motion before Hitler, the forces of ethnic cleansing! Hitler came from Bohemia where ethnic cleansing took off after WWI, after all. If the Jewish people wish for us to learn lessons from the Holocaust, the main lesson must be, 'Ethnic cleansing is evil.' But this is NOT the lesson they want us to learn. They want us to feel sorry for them today as they do the same crimes the Nazis did to them! And this is the terrible device that will bring WWIII down upon all our heads.
Abbas: IDF's Gaza operation worse than a holocaust
Palestinian president responds to Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai's remark that Palestinians would bring on themselves 'bigger holocaust' by stepping up rocket attacks on Israel. MK Zahalka calls on Abbas to cease negotiations with Israel, 'slam the door' on Prime Minister Olmert
Bit by bit, the door slams shut. We are on the wrong moral side here. We cannot decide the Chamber of Death where the gas is being turned on, is the best place for us to stand! The Jews in Israel, except for a very small minority, want desperately to finish this job and be rid of the whole mess by having a Final Solution. The desire for this is demonic. By desiring this, they bring closer their own annihilation. Perhaps the plan of the Zionists is to rouse such a fire storm in Europe and America that all Jews are expelled? If so, this is so disgusting, it makes me retch. I have a lot of Jewish blood in my veins as well as my children and this matters a lot to me! Since my mother was not Jewish, I am not Jewish nor are my children in this mirror of the Nazi pure-Aryan beliefs. Namely, my blood isn't good enough for Zionists. But anyone who picks up the weapons of ethnic/religious cleansing here in America will also repudiate me and my family for being 'mixed.' This is the nightmare world of ethnic cleansing. The Deep South did this for generations: anyone with a grandparent who was 'black' was 'black' and therefore, denied basic human and civil rights! Even as we hung Nazis for doing this exact same thing WE DID IT HERE! And I was part of the Civil Rights Movement because I thought it was racist and wrong to have such goofy, dangerous, inhuman laws.
And William Buckley, true to his Nazi nature, was against civil rights for all humans. He loved his Nazi universe. The chief crime of the Nazis was to go one step too far in this. The US terrorized minorities, Hitler wanted to eliminate them. But this is merely a variation on the racist schemes, not all that different. It was further on the same scale. Buckley was given a pass for all this when he died. But not from me! When I and my friends were being beaten, killed or hounded for demanding civil rights, he was applauding racism and segregation! May he rot in hell forever for that.
Ahmadinejad calls visit to Iraq ‘brotherly’
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday his landmark visit to Iraq opened a new chapter in “brotherly” relations between the two countries, which were once bitter enemies.Ahmadinejad is the first Iranian president to visit Iraq. The trip not only highlights his country’s growing influence on its Arab neighbor in the post-Saddam Hussein era, but it also serves as an act of defiance toward the United States, which accuses Iran of training and giving weapons to Shiite extremists in Iraq.
It is all over. The US still imagines we can have, deep inside Iraq, our castle with our troops parked there where they can rush forth and kill anyone or terrorize anyone daring to go against our ethnic cleansing methods in the Middle East. The clever Persians and Arabs know how the real game is played. If they control the countryside, eventually the crusaders in the castles will be swarmed over, defied or driven into bankruptcy and eventually the ripe fruit will fall. They all know and bin Laden talked openly about this, bankrupting or owning the US and England is the chief tool to victory for them. They are working on this frantically and are using the tool of oil and trade to do this. The US is definitely sinking into debt and this is weakening us tremendously.
Note how with Gulf War I, we could force Japan and the Arab kings to pay for it! But this war, no way! Indeed, breaking news in Japan is, the LDP has failed to pass the budget in the higher house which was taken over by the opposition party. And this was due to the war money being voted in this budget! The US can forget getting more and more money from the Japanese for our Middle Eastern wars! And this is obviously because China is grabbing more and more Middle Eastern business, real estate and oil contracts from the Japanese due to the Japanese funding and support for Jewish and American ethnic cleansing and conquests!
Iran has already sneered at Japan over the Japanese support of US sanctions. Japan has what Iran wants: full use of nuclear power plants! And Japan needs Iran's oil. Or perhaps Japan enjoys high oil prices? This is killing their trade surplus, eating into it like crazy. They hate this and the opposition party knows it can pull out of the US/UK crusade and the US can do nothing about this. If the US withdraws our military from Japan, this is OK with them. They know we are bluffing about this. We can't relocate to Korea or Taiwan! And the present course is strengthening China and weakening Japan! So they can't do this much longer. Support for the US must decline or Japan will find itself cut out of all markets in the Middle East when it erupts against Israel yet again.
And it just might. The Jews are pushing very hard for this. Abbas, the new puppet ruler put in by the US and Israel is giving up his role as Quisling. Even as he negotiated over the 'settlements' they grew in number faster than they were taken down showing bad faith on the part of the Jews negotiating with them. As Abbas noted today, there are now more of these than last year. And he complains about being given nothing.
Of course! The plan is to wipe out Palestine. Many, many Jews even openly assert there is no such thing as Palestine. They assert there are no Palestinians. They want to make this lie become the truth even if it means murdering all Palestinians.
Top Professor: Autonomous Killer Robots In The Field
A top robotics expert has issued a stark warning that the world may be sleepwalking into a potentially lethal technocracy and has called for safeguards to be put into place now, in order to counter such a scenario unfolding within the next ten years.Noel Sharkey, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the University of Sheffield, spoke on the Alex Jones show of his fears that an international robot arms race has already begun and that the development and deployment of autonomous robots, machines that essentially make their own decisions, signals a shift towards a dangerous new phase of the technological age.
"We don't have to get too futuristic because the robots are already here, and are armed, especially the flying ones." Professor Sharkey commented. "The Predators and the Reapers now, you must know about the Reapers that are carrying fourteen Hellfire missiles."
"And then we've got the first deployment on the Talon Sword robots in Iraq, last year in December, and they are all armed with Grenade Launchers and that kind of thing."
The Angel of Death in the Bible will become a robot in the future. The plan is for the rulers to use this to kill all who are not slaves or useful to them while flesh. This is the George Lucas Clone Wars. Asimov, the famous Jewish science fiction writer who had a loving, kind heart, a genius, he wrote about robots and tried to defuse them by creating the Laws of Robotics that prevented them from being used as killing machines. We are using these right now against Muslims who are in our way. Muslims who refuse our autocratic rule. These machines are hooked into humans trained by video games to view the indifferent blowing up of strangers to be fun and games. 'I could be normal', complained Prince Hal who was doing exactly this. Operating his robots, he could kill distant turban wearing strangers who had few weapons and not much more than native courage.
Of course, WWIII will be fought with robots, lasers and nuclear bombs. And few humans will survive. And the dark humors of computerized programs pre-set to kill will rule our fates. And the Gods will deliver us into the maw of death. For this ultimate ethnic cleansing will be the non-living killing the living. And the dark dystopian dreams of many a science fiction writer will become reality. The lust for this possibility is great. The people who have their fingers on the controls and who want this war, think they can go into their many Morlockian caves and emerge when the carnage is over. We know there are these caves here in America! Built at taxpayer expense! And Israel is riddled with such caves. The hope is, they can all retreat into these places and when they emerge, the world won't be this dead zone but rather, a Garden of Eden for them and them, alone! No more pesky neighbors to interfere with the picking of the Fruits of Life!




Hi Elaine,
good parallel between Darfur and Gaza. Another parallel would be the US "strategic hamlet" approach in Vietnam. Mao said the guerrila swam in the sea of the people, so the US forced Vietnamese off their land into these "hamlets" to cut them off from the Resistance. what the Sudan is doing is the same thing, using the Janjaweed because the Fur make up a large portion of the Sudanese military, Darfur is "land of the Fur". Not humane, it's terrible, but no worse than what the US has done. And the rebels are fighting for a share of the oil, not voting rights or education or whatever.

A good heuristic is that anytime the US media suddenly remembers Darfur, the Israels have just committed some sort of atrocity in Palestine and need a media distraction.

Pretty much correct.

Hmmm, sounds like The Terminator scenario to me.
