Does History Repeat Itself or Are the West Stupid?

I remember back in late 1990's Israel supplying aerial maps of Iraqi Nuclear sites to West and getting the International Atomic Energy Agency all fired up to go into the private palaces of Sadam Husseign and his underlings. I remeber Mr Husseign kicking the International Atomic Energy Agency out of the country stating that there are spies among the inspectors, which was true - our man who "commited suicide" and Scott Ritter from US.

Now there is another one been waged against the Iranian regime. Change the frigging offending barstards.

"On 21 August, 2007, Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei of the International Atomic Energy Agency came to an "understanding" with Iran on a "work plan" for resolving outstanding "issues" tangentially related to the implementation of Iran’s Safeguards Agreement.

On the eve of what is expected to be the issuance of the final IAEA report on that resolution, the National Council of Resistance on Iran – the "political arm" of a U.S. State Department designated "terrorist organization" – has gone public with highly inflammatory charges that Iran (a) has recently established a "new command and control center" at a military site at Mojdeh, a suburb of Tehran, for a program code-named Lavizan-2, and (b) is actively pursuing "production of nuclear warheads" at a military site at Khojir, code-named B1-Nori-8500.

Great Zot!

The Iranian military is producing nuclear warheads in a suburb of Tehran?

The Iranian military has established a command and control center just outside Tehran for its burgeoning nuke-armed ballistic-missile force?

Hard to believe?

Well, at a Brussels news conference, NCRI "foreign affairs chief" Mohamad Mohaddessin presented space-satellite photo-images of the two alleged military sites.

Mohaddessin further charged the Khojir site was under the command of "missile expert" Mehdi Naghiyan Fesharaki.

So there!"

Food I Eat

For a while I been thinking and working towords a proper diet for myself. First I should not have any tabboos. And I should not have my favourtes. Those are mind made. If I listen to my body with an analytical mind then decide what to eat everyday then I should be alright.

"The human digestive tract has about the same number of neurons as the spinal column."

Why did I start this rant?

"Paul Rozin is a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, and I call him the psychoanalyst of our eating disorder in America. He's done wonderfully creative experiments like conducting word/image association tests with different cultures. For example, he showed a picture of a slice of chocolate cake to an American audience and a French audience. The Americans look at it and their response is "guilt" or "calories," and that seems very understandable to us until you realize that there's another way to look at that. When he shows it to a French audience, their first response is "celebration." How much healthier is that?

We have this very narrow lens through which we're looking at our food, and I think it's robbing us of pleasure. Perhaps it would be worth looking at food in this guilt/health way if it actually made us healthier, but there is no evidence that worrying about your nutritional health makes you any healthier. In fact, we are the great food worriers of the world, and our nutritional health is really very poor. Why is that? I think a lot of our obsession with nutrients ends up becoming just another license for eating badly. When all those products became no-fat, people felt they could eat as much of them as possible, and we ended up getting very fat on that low-fat diet."

I went off butter due to my lazyness. I forget to put the bugger in the fridge and rancid butter is a vomit facter in the morning when you come into the kitchen to make your first cup of coffee. So I still buy the bloody marge init? It has become a thing I cannot control at the moment.

"In fact, when the government decided to tell people to stop eating fat or cut down on saturated fat, the science was very thin then. But the net result of that public health campaign was to essentially get people off of saturated fat or try to get them onto trans fats, and we've since learned that that was really bad advice because the link between trans fats and heart disease is the strongest link we have of any fat to heart disease. They told us butter is evil and margarine is good, and it turned out to be the opposite."

Do you like eating weeds? That is what our man says in this article I am reading. Because if we take care of everything for the plant to survive, it stops producing some of the ingredients it normally has. Now these ingredients are the ones which we need to absorb into our bodies as nutritional stuff. So if we do not stress the tomato plant by not giving it enough water it tastes better. How cruel? Bloody farmers init?

Hang on there is something funny here. Farmer tend to the plants and waters them regular and he produces say some tomatoes which have less nutrients. Now as the tomatoes have less nutrients we have to eat more tomatoes to get the same amount of nutrients. No wonder we got a problem of obesity?

Message from the Burma Campaign UK

Dear Friend

I am writing today with very sad news. On Thursday 14th February Padoh Mahn
Sha, the father of one of our staff members, Zoya Phan, was assassinated by
agents of the military regime in Burma. Two gunmen came to his house and
shot him in the chest.

Padoh Mahn Sha was General Secretary of the Karen National Union, which
represents the Karen ethnic group in Burma in their struggle for democracy
and human rights.

He was a greatly respected leader who had dedicated his life for the
struggle for freedom. He was killed because of his effective and principled
stand against the regime.

His assassination is yet more evidence, as if it were needed, that the
regime is determined to cling on to power, no matter what. They see leaders,
such as Padoh Mahn Sha, who speak out for freedom and justice, as a threat
to their survival.

Many of you will have seen Zoya Phan speak at events and on television news
or seen her articles in our magazine. You can view some of her speeches on
our website.

Zoya and her brothers and sister have set up a fund in memory of their
father. Donations can be made online. The fund
will be used to tackle poverty and provide education in Karen state, two
issues very close to Padoh Mahn Sha¹s heart. Please visit
. You can donate by credit card from any country or
you can send a cheque made out to ŒBurma Campaign UK¹ and post it to Padoh
Mahn Sha Fund, care of Burma Campaign UK, 28 Charles Square, London N1 6HT,
UK.

A statement from the children of Padoh Mahn Sha, released on the day of his
death, follows below.

Anna Roberts
Director, The Burma Campaign UK


Statement from the children of Padoh Mahn Sha Lah Phan

We are very sad to lose a great father and a great leader.

We were lucky to have a father who was caring and full of love. He gave us
guidance and support, and taught us tolerance and to stand against
injustice. He could not give us wealth or luxury, but ensured that we had an
education and the opportunity to fulfill our potential

He was always humble, yet a strong and brave leader. He dedicated his life
to the struggle, and always put the welfare of his people and his country
before himself. His example of determination and self-sacrifice to win our
freedom won him the love and respect of not just the Karen people, but also
the Burmese democracy movement and of freedom loving people around the
world.

He will be remembered by many not only as an inspirational leader, but also
on a personal level for the many acts of kindness he performed for those who
needed help.

We are proud to be his children, as all Karen people and all people who long
for freedom in Burma are proud of him.

Our father may be dead, but we will remember him. He taught us that it was
our duty to work for the Karen people, and as his children we will continue
his dedicated work towards true freedom for our people and peace in our
country.

His determination for freedom and democracy lives on within us and within
the Karen people. He did not live to see freedom for our people, but his
dream will be fulfilled. The Karen, and all the people of Burma, will be
free.

We will be establishing a foundation in memory of our father.

I work at great depths.
I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

The Response :
Dear Penis:
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you aave raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:
You do not work 8 hours straight.
You fall asleep after brief work periods.
You do not always follow the orders of the management team.
You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
You will retire well before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed the assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely,
V. Gina

Blue Eyed People, Persuade People,

Did you know that before 10,000 to 6,000 years ago there were no blue eyed people in the world. According to the boffins it all started with this some one going mutant with blue eyes. Before that we were all brown eyed. The gene called OCA2 codes the colour of melanin.

Comes out of "A common ancestor for all blue-eyed people"

When your other half is feeling powerful do not try to convince that person on a new idea. It will not work according to the Boffins. They say wait until they feel defeated over some crap. Good init?

Obama

Mr Obama is coming out into a prominant place in the democratic side of the presidential campaign. I am not a partcularly interested in the bloody US politics as it sucks. But I have to make a comment here as I found a little bit of news which I think is important when you think of the whole world.

"Obama is not, however, the product of the civil rights struggles against racial oppression, nor is he associated with any popular movement from below. His career has far more in common with those of Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell, individuals selected and groomed by the American ruling class to carry out its policies. Like them, he is being used to put a new face on fundamentally reactionary policies and institutions."

And

"While the American people will cast ballots on November 4, the real decisions are made long before then, in the selection of candidates and framing of the election by the media and the corporate bosses and billionaires who finance and politically screen the candidates."

I wonder whether people in US realise this. Well even UK it looks like the same thing is happening; except I haven't any proof of it, as in written internet archives. Help appreciated if you know any articles of proof in your walk-arounds in the internet world.

Then

"The Times editorial says Obama “electrifies young voters ... because he embodies the desire to move to the next chapter of the American story.” It praises his early opposition to the war in Iraq, while noting approvingly his “understanding that some liberal orthodoxies developed during the last 40 years have been overtaken by history.” This last indicates that Obama has reassured the ruling elite that there will be no return to policies of liberal reform or expensive government social programs.

Then comes the meat of the argument: “An Obama presidency would present, as a distinctly American face, a man of African descent, born in the nation’s youngest state [Hawaii], with a childhood spent partly in Asia, among Muslims. No public relations campaign could do more than Obama’s mere presence in the White House to defuse anti-American passion around the world...”"

Mind this article is from "Socialist" side of politics.

Israel is No 1 threat to peace, says EU poll

Israel is No 1 threat to peace, says EU poll
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Brussels
Last Updated: 11:49pm GMT 03/11/2003



Europeans view Israel as the No 1 threat to world peace, ahead of Iran and North Korea, according to a European Commission survey yesterday.

The results prompted a furious reaction from the Israeli government, which has already accused the European Union of turning a blind eye to rising anti-Semitism.

The Eurobarometer poll of 7,500 EU residents found that 59 per cent deemed Israel "a threat to peace in the world", with the figures rising to 60 per cent in Britain, 65 in Germany, 69 in Austria and 74 in Holland.

advertisementFranco Frattini, Italy's foreign minister, apologised for the results on behalf of the EU, saying they sent "a false signal" and would not shape Middle East policy.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre said the poll was proof that Europe has swallowed the media's vilification of Israel "hook, line and sinker". The EU has long been accused by hardliners in America and Israel of tilting to the Arab side.

The list of 15 countries that might be a threat to peace was put together by a low-level EU unit in concert with Belgian members of EOS Gallup Europe. It was not cleared by foreign policy experts working for Chris Patten, the external relations commissioner. "We had nothing to do with it," said his spokesman.

In a twist that left analysts scratching their heads, the poll suggested that the British have turned against Washington even more sharply than the French or Germans. Asked if America posed a threat to peace, the "yes" response was 55 per cent in Britain, 52 in France and 45 in Germany.

In Greece, the figure reached 88 per cent, with 96 per cent calling the Iraq war "unjustified". But the EU itself is deemed a threat to peace by 18 per cent in Britain compared with eight per cent for the whole union. Only Denmark continues to back the Iraq war.

In Britain, a comfortable majority still thinks that the Government should keep troops in Iraq now that the country is committed. While the Dutch were the most worried about Israel, they were also alarmed by America, North Korea, Pakistan and China.

"This is the strangest poll I've ever seen. The Dutch have always been very pro-Israel and so I ask myself how can this possibly be?" said Ben Van Der Velde, European editor for the Rotterdam-based newspaper Handelsblad.

The poll was part of a regular series by the commission's press service and was intended to investigate views on the Iraq crisis.

Gallup questioned 500 people in each EU state - the same for 82 million Germans and 350,000 in Luxembourg - although the final results were "weighted".

The Israeli embassy in Brussels blamed the anti-Israel mood on reckless reporting by the European media, saying: "We are not only sad but outraged. Not at European citizens but at those who are responsible for forming public opinion."

The World Jewish Congress said Europe's elites had been playing with fire by routinely treating Israel as the Middle East villain.

In a recent case, Gretta Duisenberg, the wife of the departing president of the European Central Bank, called the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank worse than Nazi rule in Holland. Almost all of Holland's 100,000 Jews were exterminated by the Germans.

The Houseing lark

Now my serious friends (do you know friends means fri (fry) ends meaning just that) this is going back to the good old days of 80's where we had a lot of good times in the 'squats' (occupy (a dwelling) illegally ). Now the times are back in the near future. I know the landlords had a very fine time due to the laws passed by the Thatcher gov and promised to get rid of by the Blair gov but didn't; but the landlords will not have enough doss to make their illegal play.

"Vacant homes attract vandals and depress property values," explained Douglas Robinson, spokesman for NeighborWorks America, a nonprofit created by Congress to offer financial and technical support and training for community-based revitalization. "This negatively affects existing owners and reduces local property tax revenues. But very few homeowners walk away, although those who do believe that is their best option. Of course, trying to get a loan modification so that the payments are affordable is their best option.""

Don't tell me I am heartless but due regards to those who saved money and bought houses and rented them to likes of me; this is just action in the Newtons 2nd law. Hmmmm equal forces and all that....

And then again I see a different view. I remember the council members of this fine city of Bristol letting the best sites in the city be taken over by the homeless (me mates were them) and getting the homeless to damage the premises to such an extent the value of property in the whole area goes down; so that one of the councilors' cronies can buy it at a cheaper rate and develope them.

In this article it...... you will understand:

"According to the county prosecutor, the 31-year-old Snyder allegedly offered to pay a neighbor $5,000 to help her burn down her house and make it look like a botched rape attempt - all in order to claim $80,000 in insurance money. Snyder wanted the neighbor to bind her hands in duct tape, write "whore" on her shirt, and then help her escape once the blaze was set, the prosecutor says. The neighbor demurred, instead reporting Snyder to police."

"Homeowners have crunched the numbers and decided their houses are worth less than their mortgages."

Good I cannot wait until it hits the social scene here. The frigging landlords had a very good time in the past taking money for nothing from people who can least afford it; or you are homeless. I lived in a house where the landlord did not do any paint and decorating for 7 years but frigging cunt raised the rent from £400 to £750 per month.

Iraq

"More than one million Iraqis have died because of the war in Iraq since the US-led invasion of the country in 2003, according to a study published Wednesday.

A fifth of Iraqi households lost at least one family member between March 2003 and August 2007 due to the conflict, said data compiled by London-based Opinion Research Business (ORB) and its research partner in Iraq, the Independent Institute for Administration and Civil Society Studies (IIACSS).

The study based its findings on survey work involving the face-to-face questioning of 2,414 Iraqi adults aged 18 or above, and the last complete census in Iraq in 1997, which indicated a total of 4.05 million households.

Respondents were asked how many members of their household, if any, had died as a result of the violence in the country since 2003, and not because of natural causes.

"We now estimate that the death toll between March 2003 and August 2007 is likely to have been in the order of 1,033,000," ORB said in a statement.

The margin of error for the survey was 1.7 percent, making the estimated range between 946,000 and 1.12 million fatalities."

From this.

And

"An Iraqi MP preferred to remain anonymous told the newspaper that highly confidential negotiations took place by representatives from American oil companies, offering $5 million to each MP who votes in favor of the Oil and Gas law.

The amount that could be paid to pass the votes do not exceed $150 million dollars in the case of $5 million to each MP, pointing out that the Oil law requires 138 votes to pass, which the Americans want to guarantee in many ways, including vote-buying, intimidation and threats!

Focusing on the heads of parliamentary blocs and influential figures in the parliament to ensure the votes, the Americans guaranteed the Kurdish votes in advance but they are seeking enough votes to pass and approve the law as soon as possible."

From this.

"The High Court today lifted a gagging order stopping the media reporting allegations of torture and brutality by British troops in Iraq.

Soldiers are said to have captured 31 Iraqis following an ambush in May 2004 before killing 22 and leaving only nine injured survivors after detaining them at military headquarters in Abu Naji.

However reporting restrictions imposed earlier on by the court have now been lifted following a petition by several national newspapers and the BBC.

It has been claimed the men were seized by the British Army following a firefight on the road from Amara to Basra, near Majar al-Kabir in south-east Iraq.

Iraqi families and survivors are seeking compensation and a ruling at a High Court hearing, due to start in the near future, that the Government is legally obliged to set up an independent inquiry into the incident.

Death certificates to go before the court are said to state that corpses of Iraqis rounded up showed signs of "mutilation" and "torture"."

From this.

And lastly:

"I'm 32 and I am a trained psychopathic murderer. The only things I can do are to sell youths the idea of joining the marines and kill. I am not able to keep a job. For me civilians are despicable people, mentally retarded and weak persons, a flock of sheep. I am their sheepdog. I am a predator. In the army they used to call me Jimmy, the Shark".

1990's

I lived in Chelsea Park Off Chelsea Road in them days in 1990's. I was going to UWE doing a course in Electronics. I got to know lots of people and one of them was Cathy. She became a Police Officer and still is. I met her today. I spoke to her told her that I will give her my Mobile number so that we can meet and have a cup of tea later as I was given a lift; and in a hurry and I just wanted to see her later than in the foyer of a electrical wholesalers;old friends and all. Hmmmm.... She said, "Hmmm sorry I will rather not as it is not ....". Shite what the frigging hell she thinks she frigging is? Frigging queen? I was very angry and told her " In that case I will see you.... a... around." That is very uncool for a frigging copper. OK may be she is a Seargeant or a frigging Inspector or a Commander. Still she got a past just like me in the same frigging space and time. I will like her to lose her coolmmission I tell you. Hope she reads this undercover and all. Frigging shite past, I do love some of it. Good thing is ..... never mind.

New inventions

No matter how you look at it the difference is there. Those who "wants to make money without thinking about the future" and the those "who care"? Now we got to loOk at this spectrum of people who care. They are the people who have no research done in to the subject but they got this gut feeling. But then take the other side: they alreadY done the research into the subject and they know what to say in the debate AND WIN WITHOUT A DUE PROCESS AND THEY KNOW IT.

War On Terror

"Political analyst Azhar al-Teengane says the only Iraqis who support the occupation are those benefiting directly from it.

"The occupation is good for politicians who have made money, militiamen, contractors and opportunists," Teengane said. "These form not more than 5 percent of Iraqi people."

Self-rule could help lower anti-U.S. sentiment, said resident Jalal al-Taee. "In order to improve the situation, the U.S. army should let the people of this city run it." "

This comes from an article in ICH.

Well to make it very simple there are a minority in US, Israel and the west who has major shares in the Military Industrial Complex. There are loads of people in these countries who work for the MIC. So it is very hard for the polititians to get the policies which support war out. You have to have a war. That is the bottom line; ask any major polititian.

Think about it; the General in US army will lobby for war otherwise his job is not going to be there; the workers in the MIC will lobby the polititians otherwise their jobs will not be there; the shareholders will lobby the polititians otherwise they will not get filthy rich. These has to be realised by the root people of the world and willed into the policies by the people so that the corrupt polititians will not be able to twist the words.

Even if the self rule is given to these countries they will be corrupted by the MIC. Only way out is gradually cut the MIC to a smaller size in US to start with and then the rest of the world.

Allah on the Holodeck

This is bloody good. Congragulations US, I say. The article explains what digital morphing is in a rudimentary way and gives the examples of ideas what can be done. Bin Laden's video could be one of them some say.

"Allah on the Holodeck

Pentagon planners started to discuss digital morphing after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Covert operators kicked around the idea of creating a computer-faked videotape of Saddam Hussein crying or showing other such manly weaknesses, or in some sexually compromising situation. The nascent plan was for the tapes to be flooded into Iraq and the Arab world.
The tape war never proceeded, killed, participants say, by bureaucratic fights over jurisdiction, skepticism over the technology, and concerns raised by Arab coalition partners.

But the "strategic" PSYOPS scheming didn't die. What if the U.S. projected a holographic image of Allah floating over Baghdad urging the Iraqi people and Army to rise up against Saddam, a senior Air Force officer asked in 1990?

According to a military physicist given the task of looking into the hologram idea, the feasibility had been established of projecting large, three-dimensional objects that appeared to float in the air.

But doing so over the skies of Iraq? To project such a hologram over Baghdad on the order of several hundred feet, they calculated, would take a mirror more than a mile square in space, as well as huge projectors and power sources.

And besides, investigators came back, what does Allah look like?"

Quotes, PTSD

"A few may take their own lives. In 2006, suicide rates for soldiers leapt to a 26-year high with 99 deaths, one-fourth of them by troops diagnosed with PTSD, according to the Defense Department. Statistically, male veterans commit suicide at twice the rate of their nonveteran peers.

Defense Department research shows one-third of Iraq war veterans have sought help for mental health issues, and officials estimate 150,000 troops have suffered concussions — mild traumatic brain injuries — since the war in Iraq began."

Read this if you get a bit of time. I shed a few tears on this. I don't expect everyone to cry but it is moving I tell you.
