In a country like Lebannon or Sri Lanka, it is very easy to make money by selling armaments to rival factions. Say three countries A, B and C. Countries A and B create two factions in country C. Then make them fight each other. Then countries A and B sell armaments to the two rival factions and make a profit. Then there is a bank which lends the money or owns the armament factory shares. Bank makes the best out of the lot by lending all parties A and B and the two rival factions of C. You see the money is owned by the banks, we just borrow it and spend.

Something to think and plonder
I remember one time circa 1980s, I could not be alone when I was awake. Those days I lived in so many places. I used to go to my friends' places with some alcohol and some hash or anything I have, properly stashed in my person expecting the, always needed, policeman to hassle me. If the person is not there I go to another, and another or a pub. That is how I think I made so many friends. Then I, about 1990s stayed in at my own -rented ofcourse- place not even thinking about the pub that much. If I go anywhere - pre-mobile era - I leave a message on the door. Yeah reminds me; a friend said that I am saying, "I am not home burgle my house." Good one. But I didn't give a shit. Anyway I evolved from the man who needed company to a man who controls the company. I noticed this while staying in the Saly Army place in Wade Street, when I realise that I am controlling it in a more severe way than before. Here I cannot bring a friend in to my room. The people who live in the place are wanting help themselves. So the environement I created for myself is, where I control a bit more than before. What a difference it makes in your thoughts, when you 'ave a lump of dope to eat and a wee drink in a quiet place.
Does any of you guys remember a jazz track with the lyrics:
"All I need is a tight pussy and a worm place to shit"?
I think the West or the judo/christian (or is it ?zionist/neoconservative ) block are afraid to think that the other countries have a better democracies in their own land than they can ever imagine or realise (eg. Argentina).

Thread mill for dogs.
Previously attach the small camera to the top of the head of the dog and take it out for a one/two mile walk while video taping. Edit video tape and cut the sniffing and pissing clips off - don't want to confuse tha dog. Do it in different walks - don't want to bore the dog.
Now you need a threadmill and a video screen purposefully curved to make it more realastic.
Put the dog on the thread mill and start the video. The speed of the thread mill according to the dog's walking/running speed should be synchronised with the speed of the video. If this works give me a shout.

We are not there yet
Humans have evolved very successfully in a physiological aspect. But have we evolved psychologically beyond the 1 AD level. The question I am asking is not easy to answer. But I can take an educated guess. THe Christianity was established in the first century of Western civilisation. We are still adhereing to the psychological way of life the Judo-Chritian mind established then. Of course we have worked out logically some of the written word at that time is not easy to follow now, but majority of us still do.
Fact number 1: Orangutan is the closest relative to the human.
Fact number 2: They live in Sumatra in jungles.
Fact number 3: Humans destroy the jungles for wood to build things and grow palm trees for the oil.
Fact number 4: The oranutans are going extinct due to lack of habitat.
Fact number 5: The palm tree oil is used to make shampoo and crisps for humans.
Fact number 6: The humans who go about been very kind to animals buy the shampoo and crisps.
Fact number 7: God live in heavon, and I am not surprised.

Holy Things
On the day of easter friday before the crucification Jesus asked, "Who do you think I am?". They still ask the same question, and go to the same answer. If I was there in front of him I would have said to him, " Hey Jesus, what did the god say to Moses when he asked 'What shall I tell my people who you are?'; 'I am who I am.'Exodus 3.14"
Jesus was a human being just like you and me or the tramp (oops sorry religious bigots I did not mean he was a tramp, but history suggests he was called many worse names during that time). His best form of biography as such was written in the Gospel of Matthew probably written between 65 and 90 AD/CE, the Gospel of Luke (probably written between 65 and 100 AD/CE) and the Gospel of Mark which was written in early 2nd century.
Who is this person Matthew? He was born 1st January 1 BC and worked as a Tax Collector in the Capharnaum village, and was supposed to be one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. But secular scholars of the Bible say this gospel was written by an anonymous non-eyewitness to Jesus' ministry. My problem is Matthew was born in 1st January 1 BC. Jesus was born 1.1.1 AD. That is Matthew was 100 years old when Jesus was born and the gospel was written between 65 ans 90 AD. The man must have been 165 years old!
Luke? Luke, a native of Antioch, by profession a physician. He had become a disciple of the apostles and later followed Paul until his [Paul's] martyrdom. Having served the Lord continuously, unmarried and without children, filled with the Holy Spirit he died at the age of 84 years. We know he did not an eyewitness to the Jesus ministry.
Mark? Mark was born in Pentapolis of North Africa (eastern coastal region of Libya) date unknown. He was a companian of Peter, Paul and Barnabas. He was not present during Jesus Ministry even though his name crops up different places and the scolars dispute the suggestions.
All three Gospels are called Synoptic Gospels due to the fact they all are similar sequence wording etc.. But overall we know as a fact that they were written well after great man's death.
There is anoother one which came into light in 1945 in Egypt. (TO BE CONT.)

Chalmers Johnson: “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic"
Ask you a universal question. Why do I see one advert on the TV saying it is covering all the other similar adverts are about and give us the best deal, and all the others are showing their adverts instead of keeping quiet and saving money init?
So Prince William's girl friend is hunted by the photographers; bet she feels like the fox being hunted by the toffs init?
This was taken from The Demacracy Now Files. Here I am explaining to myself what he says in my simple way.Explaining Dr Chalmers Johnson's "Nemessis".
Nemesis is the Greek goddess of revenge. She punishes people for their arrogance and hubris (overbearing pride or presumption). North american politics have gone bad. There cannot be democracy and imperialism at the same time. US politics have been based on Roman Republic. If it sticks to imperialism it will lose the democracy of the country to a dictatorship. Take British Empire for example, after the WW2, the adminstrative massacres which they carried out in India - the jewel of the crown, the savage repression of the Kikuyu in Kenya and the bad fallback from the attack in Egypt which they carried out with French and Israels; they had to give up the empire one bit at a time. That way they kept their democracy. But Blair foolishly wanted to expand the empire in Iraq.
Connect the breakdown of constitutional government with militarism.
To 'ave and to keep the empire going, you need wars. To have wars you need military, spending vast amounts of tax payer's money for the army and the military-industrial complex. this is the "intervening connection" in the social side of the empire. George washington in his farewell speech said that the great enemy of the republic is stading armies. In the US republic, there are three branches, which keep the balance of power in the government. They are the Executive, the Legistative and the Judicial. They are supposed to check each other. But the standing armies, militiarism, military establishment, military-industrial complex all draw power from the rest of the country to Washington and ultimately to the presidency. Don't forget the taxes as well. This in turn create an imperial presidency - dictator - who then starts to pass laws to make everything secret, and even the congress is kept in the dark let alone the public.
The following paragraph I am lost:
The latest US bases approved by the Pentagon and the resident is in Africa. This could be in Djibouti, where there already is a base. This could be enlarged. Or the Navy is interested in Gulf of Guinea where there is oil. So it could be there.
Imperialism is a form of tyranny. It never ask the people who are governed for their consent. So we have a system of spreading democracy at the point of a gun. Anyone who is governed this way wants to revolt. (They become terrorists.)
There has been at least three different revolts against the bases in Okinawa. There is a collution between the governments of Japan and US. Japanese goverment do not want the US soldiers prancing about in main land Japan. So they dump them or quarentine them in the island of Okinawa. In Italy, there was a 100,000 people, who demostrated against the enlargement of US base in Vicenza, a Palladian city of great and famous architecture; that they would become a target of terrorism. It is already in the news; Italy trying to indict 25 CIA officers, kidnapping and torturing an Italian citizen (Abu Omar).
Where as in Spain, PM Zapatero, due to public pressure got its army out of Iraq and radically reduced the US military presence in Spain.
Has the US government asked the people in the Persian Gulf, before it put 2 to 4 Carrier Task Forces in the fifth fleet in CENTCOM's navy in the Gulf. Looks like it is preparing to attack Iran or may be not.
In Greece in late 60's and early 70's, putting Greek colonals in power - who later self destructed themselves - and US bases were hated by the local population.
The reason US went to war in Iraq is, to have a base there, as the old friends US had are going and gone. Iran was lost in 1979 after the revolution against the Shah. The second Saudi Arabia had become less and less useful because of US's bungling. For Example putting US bases in Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War in 1991. This is stupid and arrogant. It made enemies out of the patriotic Saudis eg Osama Bin Laden, as Saudi Arabia is charged with defence of Mecca and Medina. They do not want infidel troops who know nothing about their religion, country, lifestyle or anything else. Over time Saudis stopped using Prince Sultan Air Base outside Riyadh. So during the attack on Iraq US major operations headquaters was moved to Qatar.
Then US chose Iraq second most oil-rich country in the world to put its roots. There has never been an exit plan as there was never a plan to get out of the country. So we have five very, very large heavily reinforced, long double runways. five air bases strategically placed all over Iraq. The Ambassodor, Department of defence or the President never admits to having bases in Iraq. Neither will the Congress say a word about it. Only commander of Air Force in CENTCOM has said , when asked "How long do you think we'll be here?"; "Oh at least a decade in these bases.". Then they reinforce them.
Then comes The oil-rich Caspian Basin countries. US interfered after the demise of the Soviet Union in these countries' elections. And put puppet regimes who are in accord with US. Now one country has thrown the bases out due to heavy handed interference. Krydyztan is still going alright but the price US pays has quadrupled.
The president's private army.
There will not be any peace until the CIA is abolished. The National Security Act of 1947 created CIA and lists five functions for it. The purpose is to prevent surprise attacks and to prevent recurrance of the attack, such as Pearl Harbour. Of the five functions four are various forms of information gathering through open sources, espionage, signals intelligence (Dict). The fifth is a catchall, that CIA will do anything what the President says, through the National Security Council.
Intelligence is not taken seriously. It is just kept secret. And as the agency develpoed over time, every president who was inaugurated, after Truman, was told that he has a private army at his disposal, without congressional oversight until 1970's. Even then it was found incompetant as you find in the Iran-Cotra and things like that. President can do anything; he can order assasinations, governments overthrown, economies subverted, instruct Latin American military oofficers in state terrorism, carry out extra-ordinary renditions and order the torture of people. As US law says that if torture victim dies the perpetrator can get death penalty. So they do it in Egypt.
No president after Truman ever admited to the fact, nor did they fail to use it. Starting from in 1953 in Iran the overthrow of Mohammed Massadegh it has been rapidly advanced. The "blowback" means retaliation for cladestine activities carried abroad.
As these cladestine activities were carried out without the knowledge of the people, when retaliation comes it is not easy to explain in a proper context. An example:
Recruiting, arming and sending to battle, the Mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union in 1980, (and sending and forming bases in Saudi Arabia), created the September 11 tragedy. It is a blowback.
There are crooked congressmen, like Charlie Wilson from Texas was named charman of the House Intelligence Oversight Committee during Afghan period, he wrote to his pals in the CIA, "The fox is in the hen house. Gentlemen do anything you want to do."
China's role as a growing world power.
China is carrying on what the people want, moving towards moderation slowly. They dismantled the Leninist economy without having problems Yeltsin's Soviet Union had. It has unleashed its growth potential and is moving ahead with great power and insight.
China is feared by the neoconservatives, just like the English-speaking people had in the 20th century about Germany, Russia and Japan. The English-speaking people had nasty wars to adjust to threat at that time. But China has adjusted to the interests of countries like Indonesia an Vietnam, who do not like China.
US is egging Japan to go against China for the WW2 astrocasies. But a war with China is stupid like the Vietnam war. China had a couple of bad centuries but it is back, Hong Kong joke.
Remember Chinese bringing down one of US's spy planes. Bush sabour rattled against the Chinese about Thaiwan, but if US goes against Chinese it will be stupid. As if all the Chinese and all the Americans killed eachother there will be 800 million Chinese left!
The Star Wars program will not work but will make jobs for various constituencies where the military-indutrial complex has its facteries.
Most of the industrial world depends on high and low orbit sattellites, for global positioning, telecommunication, mapping and weather forcasting. The Chinese, Europeans and the Russians, have been asking US repeatedly to sit down and make decent international treaties, to prevent weapononization of space, to prevent growing catastrophy of orbiting space debris, that are extremely lethal to satellites and space travel. One time a piece of paint hit the challenger in orbit at 17,000 miles per hour and put a dent in the windshield as the commander Sally Ride reported.
A space Pearl Harbour, would mean, what the Chinese done in January, when they tested an anti-satellite weapon against their own old and redundant satellites, which destroyed the satellite and produced massive amount of debris in the low orbit. True after a whie the low orbit debris will come down to the atmosphere and burn out.
This is a bluff, the so called threat which can be removed by having space weaponry system. If the Chinese can knock them off what is the use of having them?
Fort Greely, Alaska
US Air Force think, that, there are three ways of bringing a missile down. This missile have to be a third rate North Korean one. Not the up to date Topol-M the Russian one which goes up into orbit extremely rapidly, with maneuvering ability to make it undetectable. The first is to get it on blastoff. For that the Boeing 747 with the laser gun will have to be on top of the launch site. Chances are practically nil. And it is bloody expensive. The next is to intercept it in space, while it is heading towards US at high speed. This is what the interceptors that have been put in the ground at Fort Greely, Alaska, and a couple of them at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, are supposed to do. They have not intercepted any at the moment. The radar is not there to track it. These are scarecrows to keep the North Koreans at bay.
If the North Koreans attack US or Japan there won't be a North Korea left in the future. They know it. So it is a waste of funds and labour.
Iran is surrounded by nuclear powers, Russia, Israel, Pakistan and India. So they should be armed as well. (What the hell US can make a few bucks mean time out of Iran?).
The Future
Us is stuck with the military-industrial complex for the time been. If the Secretary of Defence out of common sense try to close down a redundant base, there is an uproar in the surrounding community from newspapers, television, priests and local polititions to save their base.
Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas and Dianne Feinstein of California, the two states with the largest number of military bases, will carry on doing their good work. So it is upto the people like Amy Goodman and the Democracy Now to get the inattentive citizens and open their eyes. Let Rupert Murdoch get so huge and give him enough rope to hang himself.
And I tell you ...eick....bit of puff and a bit of vodhka makes ....eick.... appy init?

The following paragraph I am lost:
"It seems to me that this is also the same warning that Dwight Eisenhower gave in his famous farewell address of 1961, in which he, in quite vituperative language, quite undiplomatic language -- one ought to go back and read Eisenhower. He was truly alarmed when he spoke of the rise of a large arms industry that was beyond supervision, that was not under effective control of the interests of the military-industrial complex, a phrase that he coined. We know from his writings that he intended to say a military-industrial-congressional complex. He was warned off from going that far. But it's in that sense that I believe the nexus -- or, that is, the incompatibility between domestic democracy and foreign imperialism comes into being."

Mystery: How Wealth Creates Poverty in the World
I read this article and made it a bit simple to understand for me of course. The links are there if you want to read the article.
Over the last half century Western Cooperations have invested heavily in Third World Countries. They invest on rich natural resorces. These countries do not have taxes, environmental regulations, worker benefits, and occupational safety costs due to the bullying of the rich countries. And the labour is cheap.
EG.
"In Haiti, for instance, workers are paid 11 cents an hour by corporate giants such as Disney, Wal-Mart, and J.C. Penny. The United States is one of the few countries that has refused to sign an international convention for the abolition of child labor and forced labor. This position stems from the child labor practices of U.S. corporations throughout the Third World and within the United States itself, where children as young as 12 suffer high rates of injuries and fatalities, and are often paid less than the minimum wage.
The savings that big business reaps from cheap labor abroad are not passed on in lower prices to their customers elsewhere. Corporations do not outsource to far-off regions so that U.S. consumers can save money. They outsource in order to increase their margin of profit. In 1990, shoes made by Indonesian children working twelve-hour days for 13 cents an hour, cost only $2.60 but still sold for $100 or more in the United States."
The cheap local labour is made by these Cooperations like this.
Western Governments give tax cuts to these Cooperations, to move out to the third world and even pay for the relocation. The Cooperations take the best land in these countries to cultivate monoculture crops, which need lots of pesticides. Now that leaves less and less land for the natives, to grow their organic crops. This displaces the local population from their lands and drive them to the urban slums, where they work for lower than the lowest wage of the land.
Western aid are intended to make it easy for the cooperation to operate by subsidizing the construction of the infrastructure of the countries eg ports, highways, and refineries.
The aid given has strings attached. Western products, which are susidised by the donar countries, have to be sold undermining local produce. These countries have to give preferences for the Western cooperations in investment, again taking the consumption away from the local produce.
Then again the aid, does not go to the local population; as much as 90% is taken by the corrupt officials from the presidents to the coulie.
In 1944 The World Bank (WB) International Monetary Fund (IMF), was created assist all nations in their developement. More money, the country contribute to these organisations more voting power it has. So starting from US then Germany, Japan, France and UK becomes the big guns in both organisations. The operations are done by selected bankers and ministry staff from rich countries, secrectly.
Say a country borrows money from WB and get into difficulties paying the money back; as it happens so often. Then it has to borrow money from IMF, to pay back the original money owed to the WB.
Now the IMF has something called SAP, Structural Adjustment Program. That means the country has to privatise the state owned infrasructure eg utilities, bus and railroads, mines etc, and sell them at a very low cost. Also grant tax breaks to western cooperations, reduce wages of workers, and make no attempt to stop foreign imports and takeovers.
Then the country has to let the forests to be cleared and let strip mining done, without due regard, to environmental catastrophesies. The subsidies for the health, education, transportation and food has to be cut, to make more money for the debt payment. Grow cash crops for exports taking it away from local consumption.
Now we have the Third World countries having their real wages reduced, national debt increased, environment destroyed making more warring factions in the country and driving people to escape to rich countries as refugees.

Over the last half century Western Cooperations have invested heavily in Third World Countries. They invest on rich natural resorces. These countries do not have taxes, environmental regulations, worker benefits, and occupational safety costs due to the bullying of the rich countries. And the labour is cheap.
EG.
"In Haiti, for instance, workers are paid 11 cents an hour by corporate giants such as Disney, Wal-Mart, and J.C. Penny. The United States is one of the few countries that has refused to sign an international convention for the abolition of child labor and forced labor. This position stems from the child labor practices of U.S. corporations throughout the Third World and within the United States itself, where children as young as 12 suffer high rates of injuries and fatalities, and are often paid less than the minimum wage.
The savings that big business reaps from cheap labor abroad are not passed on in lower prices to their customers elsewhere. Corporations do not outsource to far-off regions so that U.S. consumers can save money. They outsource in order to increase their margin of profit. In 1990, shoes made by Indonesian children working twelve-hour days for 13 cents an hour, cost only $2.60 but still sold for $100 or more in the United States."

Extra Sensory Perseption
Blair lobbied Bush to get the Star Wars Node into Britain. Blair has not really said when he is handing over to the next man. Blair is going to land a big job in one of these companies who are in the defence line. Put them together and you have a little idea when the payment comes. When you think like this you have to bring a law forbidding polititions from having a job in any company which they themseles promoted. Arms race gives a good life to the poor. Think about it. Arms Suppliers creat by hook or crook a war in countries to sell their ware. In the countries who go to war go bankcrupt and the people become poor. Then Arms Suppliers go to these countries build lots hospitals etc paid by tax payed by the people of the rich countries, for the poor people in them countries init?
When I went to UWE for wee stint in Elecronics degree I had to go to Business studies. I have been a business man all my life. But I am no cut throat. So I did not go to the business studies classes. Here I am in the Saly Army Hostel typing this away.
ESP is a good one. I remember in 2000 I think; total sun eclipse to seen in Cornwall. Yeah I wouldn't forget it. I cycled all the way to Cornwall. Stupid init? No it was a grand idea. I cycled to Bridgewater from Bristol and took a train to Truro and cycled from there to Constantine. Anyway I booked myself into a instantly organised camping site by a farmer and his missus. Agreed to pay 5 quid while others were paying 7.50. May be my pathetic looks. So the day before the eclipse one of the newspapers asked the readers to concentrate just about 11 AM on the sun. On the day before 11 it was cloudy and we could not see the sun. Five of us stood in a circle and concentrated on the sun for a 2 minute period. May be thousands of others did the same. At about 15 minutes pass 11 the sun was out of the clouds. I am not saying it worked. But it could of init? But unfortunatly next morning we were going around trying to find the best place to watch the eclipse and forgot to do the ESP.

Al Queda Explained
But this I could not ignore! For the heck of it I am going to publish the whole article. I knew about this but did not have the direct link to the guy who made it public. Enjoy.
from
Al Qaeda – The Database
Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that "Al Qaeda" is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Courtesy of World Affairs, a journal based in New Delhi, WMR can bring you an important excerpt from an Apr.-Jun. 2004 article by Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French military intelligence.
by: Wayne Madsen on: 5th Dec, 05
"I first heard about Al-Qaida while I was attending the Command and Staff course in Jordan. I was a French officer at that time and the French Armed Forces had close contacts and cooperation with Jordan . . .
"Two of my Jordanian colleagues were experts in computers. They were air defense officers. Using computer science slang, they introduced a series of jokes about students' punishment.
"For example, when one of us was late at the bus stop to leave the Staff College, the two officers used to tell us: 'You'll be noted in 'Q eidat il-Maaloomaat' which meant 'You'll be logged in the information database.' Meaning 'You will receive a warning . . .' If the case was more severe, they would used to talk about 'Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.' Meaning 'the decision database.' It meant 'you will be punished.' For the worst cases they used to speak of logging in 'Al Qaida.'
"In the early 1980s the Islamic Bank for Development, which is located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, like the Permanent Secretariat of the Islamic Conference Organization, bought a new computerized system to cope with its accounting and communication requirements. At the time the system was more sophisticated than necessary for their actual needs.
"It was decided to use a part of the system's memory to host the Islamic Conference's database. It was possible for the countries attending to access the database by telephone: an Intranet, in modern language. The governments of the member-countries as well as some of their embassies in the world were connected to that network.
"[According to a Pakistani major] the database was divided into two parts, the information file where the participants in the meetings could pick up and send information they needed, and the decision file where the decisions made during the previous sessions were recorded and stored. In Arabic, the files were called, 'Q eidat il-Maaloomaat' and 'Q eidat i-Taaleemaat.' Those two files were kept in one file called in Arabic 'Q eidat ilmu'ti'aat' which is the exact translation of the English word database. But the Arabs commonly used the short word Al Qaida which is the Arabic word for "base." The military air base of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is called 'q eidat 'riyadh al 'askariya.' Q eida means "a base" and "Al Qaida" means "the base."
"In the mid-1980s, Al Qaida was a database located in computer and dedicated to the communications of the Islamic Conference's secretariat.
"In the early 1990s, I was a military intelligence officer in the Headquarters of the French Rapid Action Force. Because of my skills in Arabic my job was also to translate a lot of faxes and letters seized or intercepted by our intelligence services . . . We often got intercepted material sent by Islamic networks operating from the UK or from Belgium.
"These documents contained directions sent to Islamic armed groups in Algeria or in France. The messages quoted the sources of statements to be exploited in the redaction of the tracts or leaflets, or to be introduced in video or tapes to be sent to the media. The most commonly quoted sources were the United Nations, the non-aligned countries, the UNHCR and . . . Al Qaida.
"Al Qaida remained the data base of the Islamic Conference. Not all member countries of the Islamic Conference are 'rogue states' and many Islamic groups could pick up information from the databases. It was but natural for Osama Bin Laden to be connected to this network. He is a member of an important family in the banking and business world.
"Because of the presence of 'rogue states,' it became easy for terrorist groups to use the email of the database. Hence, the email of Al Qaida was used, with some interface system, providing secrecy, for the families of the mujaheddin to keep links with their children undergoing training in Afghanistan, or in Libya or in the Beqaa valley, Lebanon. Or in action anywhere in the battlefields where the extremists sponsored by all the 'rogue states' used to fight. And the 'rogue states' included Saudi Arabia. When Osama bin Laden was an American agent in Afghanistan, the Al Qaida Intranet was a good communication system through coded or covert messages.
Al Qaida was neither a terrorist group nor Osama bin Laden's personal property . . . The terrorist actions in Turkey in 2003 were carried out by Turks and the motives were local and not international, unified, or joint. These crimes put the Turkish government in a difficult position vis-a-vis the British and the Israelis. But the attacks certainly intended to 'punish' Prime Minister Erdogan for being a 'toot tepid' Islamic politician. "
. . . In the Third World the general opinion is that the countries using weapons of mass destruction for economic purposes in the service of imperialism are in fact 'rogue states," specially the US and other NATO countries.
"Some Islamic economic lobbies are conducting a war against the 'liberal" economic lobbies. They use local terrorist groups claiming to act on behalf of Al Qaida. On the other hand, national armies invade independent countries under the aegis of the UN Security Council and carry out pre-emptive wars. And the real sponsors of these wars are not governments but the lobbies concealed behind them.
"The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money." (Our emphasis, Ed.)
In yet another example of what happens to those who challenge the system, in December 2001, Maj. Pierre-Henri Bunel was convicted by a secret French military court of passing classified documents that identified potential NATO bombing targets in Serbia to a Serbian agent during the Kosovo war in 1998. Bunel's case was transferred from a civilian court to keep the details of the case classified. Bunel's character witnesses and psychologists notwithstanding, the system "got him" for telling the truth about Al Qaeda and who has actually been behind the terrorist attacks commonly blamed on that group. It is noteworthy that that Yugoslav government, the government with whom Bunel was asserted by the French government to have shared information, claimed that Albanian and Bosnian guerrillas in the Balkans were being backed by elements of "Al Qaeda." We now know that these guerrillas were being backed by money provided by the Bosnian Defense Fund, an entity established as a special fund at Bush-influenced Riggs Bank and directed by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith.

The New Year
Its the 2007 the year of the boar according to the Chinese. "A person born this year is likely to be a good parent. He may be easy to anger, but he is intelligent, honest, courageous, completes projects, gallant, and sincere. People born in these years are honest and straightforward. They can be relied on to see things through. They tend to be popular and make lasting friendship and are good neighbors."
Last year was not that good apart from the different experiences I went through - mostly bad. This year I look forward to going out more often and try to get myself off the bottom of the pit. As I was talking about Outreach; David was very enthusiastic to start with, telling me that he can get me Salvation Army hostel very soon and how he was going to take my worldly goods to the place etc. But that was that. Now he keeps on saying may be next week etc. 'May be....' is not a very nice statement. Hopefully I will get a house this year.
Did you know that, in April 2003, at the height of Ieaq War The Church of Nativity on Bethlehem - remember the birth place of Christ - decided to ban George Bush and Tony Blair from the Birth place of Christ.
The Church noted:
"They are war criminals and murderers of children. Therefore the Church of Nativity decided to ban them access into the holy shrine for ever,"
"Their entry into the church will tarnish it as [Bush's] hands are covered in the blood of the innocent,”
There are some sane people on this Earth init?

Depression
With all these bad things happening around me I started getting depressed. How do I know? Well I hate going out now. I do not have a good laugh with my friends. Even going to the shops is a bloody pain. So I went to my gp and consulted him. He gave me some tablets to take every day at a certain time. Time table is hard work for me but the worst thing was in the leaflet instructions in big letters "DO NOT TAKE THESE IF YOU FEEL SUICIDAL". Likes it! I am already feeling so low about myself what am I going to do after taking the bloody stuff init? Anyway I took one and sat and watched tv. After about half hour I started seeing tunnel vision and felt faint. So lied down and after another hour or so felt good enpigh to walk to the garage and sleep. Stopped taking them and phoned the gp. He prescribed another type of anti-depressant. Took one in the afternoon and by evening I was itchy and scrachy. Man it was like a rash, in my wrists, under the chin, on the chest. Then I started a bit googling and found out that most of this kind of drugs have loads of side effects, which are not very nice; eg. increased heart rate, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, blurred vision, dizziness, confusion, and sexual dysfunction. This is what Wikipedia says:
" Clinical depression (also called major depressive disorder, or sometimes unipolar when compared with bipolar disorder) is a state of intense sadness, melancholia or despair that has advanced to the point of being disruptive to an individual's social functioning and/or activities of daily living. Although a low mood or state of dejection that does not affect functioning is often colloquially referred to as depression, clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis and may be different from the everyday meaning of "being depressed". Many people identify the feeling of being depressed as "being blue", "feeling sad for no reason", or "having no motivation to do anything". One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic. Clinical depression is generally acknowledged to be more serious than normal depressed feelings. It often leads to constant negative thinking and often substance abuse."
Further research took me to this website called "Depression Understand it, Treat it, Beat it" Its alright and gave me an insight into why I am suffering from it. So I decided to give my GP the boot on this occasion.

*I exist
*I am male
*if I marry a girl
Same day
*if my father marries her daughter
*if I and my wife have a child
*if my father and his wife have a child

Outreach is outofreach
This is the way things work for me. Remember last blog I was in high spirit thinking that I will be sorted by at least next week. But Monday came and went no David, my man at Outreach. Phoned the place up got the answer phone. Talked to the machine about my frustration. Wednesday came and went and I phoned on Thursday. I got a female voice who advised me that David has been off ill. Damn. He is off this week as well.
Have you heard about Global Dimming? This is a BBC program about climate change. I remember back in late 70's there was a boffins argument that the Antarctica is getting too fat. More and more water is getting frozen on top of the glacier we already have. So they were theorizing that that if the ice cap get more ice the bottom of the world will get too heavy and that can create a Doppler effect and the spin of the earth will go astray. Then few years later they started shouting about the ozone layer depletion which they knew in 1950's at least. Weird.

In Search of Happiness?
One of the harder days for me. Yesterday I managed to get a Council place called Outreach, interested in me. I have been trying to get into a B/B through the HUB a place where homeless people can go and get help. It used to be, a drop in place, when they started. But they were so inundated with homeless people they stopped that malarky. Now you have to get up at the top of the morning and be there around 9 AM to get a place in the queue. Few people like about 5 or 6 gets appoinments, others have to come back another day. I have been there twice last year before I got an appoinment. This time as I am not very well to go there in the morning and spend my already reduced confidence on something which will not work in my favour; I phoned the HUB. And I think the staff there in the HUB is not that bad. So when I phoned them the last week this woman told me to try Outreach. A guy called Dave wanted to help me. So I had the appoinment at 11 AM. Dave was supposed to pick me up at 10.30 and away we go. But he was late and we ended up arranging for 2 PM to be there in the HUB.
Now HUB is a front end of the BCC which has got Government educated, funded and controlled staff. They have been audited by the Home Office for too much spending. They used to house around 80 people in a week in B/Bs, Hostels and church funded various places. But the audits said that is too much and make it 30 in a week. So I can see my chances of getting into a B/B is out. But I went ahead with the idea of Dave, that we have to go through that channel to see, by a smallest chance we get a place. So I got picked up by Dave and we went to the HUB. We had a chat before walked in. He explained all the trouble they go through manning the Outreach. The types of people who come there and about the druggies and alcoholics etc. And I am not any of them. Because the society cares about them more than people like me who are still trying to make something out of our lives with all the handicaps, we have to think about how to sort this out.
I remember back in 1989 I came out of the prison (for possession of controlled drugs) I didn't have a place to go. So I booked into a B/B in Hampton Road in Clifton. The Government paid £ 55 per week to the landlord. We get breakfast in the morning if we turned up before 9 AM. Cruel init. But after a week or so the landlord agreed to keep my breakfast for me on the side. And I can nuke it in the microwave to eat later. Sometimes there use to have as much as 3 days old meals waiting for me. It was a good breakfast. Couple of eggs, bacon slices and sausages, and tomatoes or baked beans with buttered toast. And mind that was prepared for us. Last year when I spent a stint in B/B it was so different. Restrictions galore. It is like a prison without the look of a prison. You have a curfew at 11 PM. No visitors. There is no landlord as such. There is a screw. He or she demands your perfect behaviour. The screw can come into your room any time. Once this guy opened my door without any knocking; and I went ballistic. After a while the screws thawed a bit towards me and I learnt the code for the front door and without trouble I could smoke in the room. And breakfast is not prepared. What you get is tea bags, milk and sugar. Coffee is there but it is the instant type. A crate of eggs and 2 types of cereals. And the BCC pays the company who runs the place £ 48 a day. £ 336 a week. That is 610% increase. And the treatment of the tenants/inmates have got worse. The humanity of the B/B has died, with the New Labour who is supposed to look after people who are vulnerable.
All right think about this. You go to the grocery shop and you ask in English " Could I have 50 gms of Fromage frais please?". And the question is what do French people call it in French language?

I am losing it
The pressure is on. I cannot have a drink without losing my thinking. Yesterday a good friend John came to Bristol after an absence of about 2 years. He used to live in Royate Hill. Then all of a sudden he decided to sell his property and move to North Wales. That was a very sad to see my man leave Bristol. Then he eventually settled down in Cornwall with his missus. And it was very nice for him to call around and the meeting, at midday, was emotional. So we had a fair amount of alcohol after he stashed his car near his bro's. I was quite drunk when I got to Dan's place, around 6 pm, where I spend most of the time. I thought I was it. I did not realise how stupid my thinking has gone to. I read an email from the Easton Community group and misunderstood it in a very funny way. Then I thought I will write a reply to it. Man or man I am so embarrassed when I saw the post this afternoon I nearly passed out. Well what can I do? Nothing as I believe what ever I done in the past was the right thing at the right time so that I am right here. Yeah sure it is very easy think logically all this shit but to apply it on the occasion without even realising it; is the aim.
I was very good I think in making friends. I came to Bristol without knowing any one but within a couple of years I knew hundreds of the locals by their first names. After a few months of living here and there I moved into the Block back in 1981. It was a row of houses on St Michael's Park. We called it The Block. No 16 was a total punk house. Next door 17 was kind of mixed teenage house. No 18 was a another mixed house. Then the 19 was where I lived. It used to be a punk house but when I moved in most of the punks have left. No 20 is kind of straight and pretty house. This is the time of the Bristol Wild bunch time. Dug Out was the place to be.
The shop was making a lot of money and the bank manager was very happy. And the life was so great I refused a great job in London as an Estate agent. The locals enjoyed me and I got invited to a lot of parties. There was a regular woman in her late 20s who used to come into the shop with her son who was very polite. But he use to ask for chocolates every day after school. When she does not buy he wouldn't throw a fit. But he will go out with a puckered lip. So one day I told him I was as light skinned as himself when I was a kid; and ate a lot of chocolates and that is why I am dark skinned now. He stopped having a puckered lips after that.

Being Homeless and a bit of the past
This is very easy to write here after all these months or is it years. I know there are some people who visit this blog. So very soon I am going to put a comments spot on this.
I am home less. Yes no home no gas bills no electric bills no place to clean no rubbish bins to put out on every other Monday. Gosh it is getting complicated and all. We had a black box to put the recycling stuff and a big black bin to put rest of the rubbish in. Very neat and very easy. Now a household has a black box to put the cans and bottles and paper in. Then there are two brown boxes to put the cooked and uncooked food left-overs in. No plastic bags in them please. Nice neat very easy. But the complication comes when they say put the black bins out every other Monday. And the others every Monday. It does not look complicated to the ordinary, but when you live in a house every Sunday is not the same and every other Sunday is not the same. So sometimes if you forget to put the big black bin out you are fucked. Why? Because you have two weeks before it gets unloaded. And if you have too much like a bit of a black bag protruding they refuse to empty it. There you now got six weeks of rubbish. Yeah well get rid of them in the neighbor's init? Well thank you very much I do not have that problem now ha ha!
Living homeless is an art. I have done it many times. In 80' I was a partner in a grocery shop. No kidding. This Indian kiddie I knew in London bought a shop in Bristol in 1979 and he did not have a clue about groceries. He is good at money which I am not. But I understand the punters and how they behave. So he invited me to become a partner in the business. I hate documents, agreement signed etc. So on his word I started to give him a hand.
The place was the Spar shop in Abbotsford Road. It was a shed with a slanting flat roof and a smaller shed at the back for the store room and staff room. The toilet was an outhouse for toilet and storage. The shop opened on weekdays at eight in the morning and close at six in the evening with a lunch break at one to two. Half days on Wednesday and Saturdays nine to five with one to two lunch break. It was the good old days over in Cotham Hill. All the shops had the same hours. Spar shop was taking about £600 a week. I could not think how they made money out of the place. There were two part time staff. One woman around forty to fifty and a young teenager. The old lady could not handle my mate,Jef. His real name is Indrasingh Jethwa. But we anglacized his name to Jef. Any how she quit. And the teenager lasted another month and left. Now me and Jef to do the hours in the shop and get the cash and carry sorted. Then again there is a matter of vegetables, fresh every day. That means our day started at about 5 AM and go to the whole sale vege place in Brislington. Get the days fresh vege and down we go back to the shop. Down a cup of tea. Set up the shop. Then Jef goes away to the cash and carry place in Avonmouth. I won't see him for the next 5 hours or so.
We set up a new time table. We open the shop at 9 AM and close at 10 PM. No bloody lunch breaks and no more Wednesday half days and Saturday different times. We are open every day except Christmas day, 9 to 10. Killing hours but it is easy for the punters to remember init?
That is how I came to be living in Bristol. It is a cool city. Compared to other places I been it is friendly. I remember one night about 8; I decided to go out and asked one of the customers to direct me to a good pub. This guy took me to Highbury Vaults. It used to be run by a guy called Pony tail Paul and his girl frien Dot. Nice juke box and the people were friendly. At 10.30 - remember the closing time - I started guzzlying my pint of Guinness and my mate told me not to worry about it. Then Paul came behind the bar and asked me how many bottles. I said 4 without even knowing what the hell is about. After about half hour when most of the people has gone we were taken upstatirs to the living space. The party on.

Evolution
I read this article about evolution and it's updates on Darwin's theory from the "World Sciencs" Website. It is a fine research work. To go to the exact article PRESS.
It goes very close to my own philosophy. Simply I and Amoeba, have no differences at all. I learn things my way, Amoeba learn things Amoeba way. Only different is I am multi cellular and the Amoeba has only one cell; I am talking to you and Amoeba talk is not understood by us only interpreted. I have them living on my body.
Most of the time people make it very complicated as they think and prove that the animals do not think. That animals have no intelligence. But how do these people know huh?
Same article says:
.......A second proposed solution also assigns a role to learning, and has also gained currency in recent years. This idea claims that creatures learn to recognize and prefer mating partners more like them. This might prevent random mating that would otherwise mix up gene pools and stop speciation. Some experimental evidence backing the notion has been published.......
What it forgets is whether a ordinary human will have sex with a babboon to have babies or not? Some of us will be guilty of this situation? But we know that it is significantly small. How do they know all these is a problem I had even when I was a kid. I imagined laboratories in a small scale where these animals have access to the prior knowledge and they can experiment on lessor creatures. But that idea become a fantacy as I grew up.

Storm is it?
This evening ….. about 22.00Hrs…….the storm hit us in Bloy Street Easton. I was sitting around with some friends getting stoned and drinking a bit of foreign alcohol….. you know the cheap-like. There was a kind of heavy showers predicted by the Weather Reports in the afternoon; I thought nothing about it until it was on us. And this one looked good. I went out after the second lightening which felt quiet and the rumble came after like an after thought. Boy I felt good with the very heavy clouds in the sky, thick and big rain drops pelting down; and as I went up the hill I saw the clouds are getting thicker. The lightening struck somewhere and it was like just a feeling and then I saw the light; then the distant rumble angry tones in them. I reached the top of the Devon Road hump bridge and I could still see the lights in the M32 area. Within a minute or less all the lights were covered by the cloud. Oh I wished I was up in the High Kingsdown area watching this area…… Then it came; deluge of water like a curtain. Man I was in….. hmmmmm it is not some thing I ever felt before. I cannot logically explain about it. Then the lightening; it was like two flashes in two different places in that cloud. And a low rumble which comes afterwards. Air was electric without the normal electric feeling you feel before thunderstorms; maybe due to the big drops of water which feels like a sheet of water but the sheet is very thick. You could see only a few feet. By this time I was on top of the bridge; I turned back towards Bloy street side and the hood of my coat came off, and I got hit by the wind and rain. I was soaked to the skin and the shoes were belching water. I felt panic and some strange feeling came over me. I started walking fast down the hump towards Bloy street and then realised that feeling was fear of death. I was quite sure that I was not afraid of dieing; now what?

There is one law
My law. Which says this is the way I understand and this is the way I should of be. Well this is good as I have an understanding about it. But what about when I do not know what it is?
Everything I persieve will be analysed by my logic and understood by me the way I want to understand. The whole universe around me is an illusion deducted by my own logic. What is the real universe? Do I really need to know the real one to live in it? Is the my universe different from yours? Is that what in simple terms means by 'parallel universes'?
