The Rush to Violence 933


Between 4 and 20 August the Saudi Arabian government beheaded 19 people. Saudi Arabia, which has funded and armed ISIS from inception (initially with CIA support), is now bombing alongside the USA in Iraq and Syria.

Forget the war technology porn regularly being broadcast by western media, with those spectacular photos of missiles erupting from ships into the night sky. Those missiles and bombs eviscerate and maim innocents as well as combatants, children as well as terrorists. The West always first denies, then regrets, “collateral damage”. The propaganda can be laughable. During the invasion of Iraq I remember a news propaganda item about how a cruise missile can enter a specific window, being followed by the next item – the US had apologised to Syria for two missiles aimed at Iraq which had hit Syria by accident.

If we can accidentally bomb the Chinese Embassy in Serbia, we can – and do – hit civilian homes near the proposed target. Being eviscerated by a piece of flying shrapnel is no less terrible than being beheaded by a jihadist. Let us not pretend that our violence is somehow nicer. Children will be dying under our bombs soon.

Other than the two extraordinary crazed Nigerians, there have been no recent Islamic motivated terrorist attacks in the UK and even a slowdown in the propaganda of phoney attacks. This was a threat to the major financial interests of the security industry, in both its governmental and private branches.

There can be no greater nonsense than the idea that the Caliphate poses a direct threat to the UK. This is even more crazy than the claim that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the UK. But by seeking to join in the bombing campaign, and initiating a new round of fake “anti-terror” arrests in London, the British government is doing everything it possibly can do to try to provoke terrorist violence on British streets. The interests of the security state are therefore secured. I am longing for somebody to explain to me the precise mechanism by which our bombing Islamic countries helps prevent terrorist incidents in the UK. The way it can provoke such incidents seems to me too obvious to need stating. Indeed it says a great deal for the wisdom and tolerance of Britain’s Muslim communities that it has not provoked more. They could teach government a great deal about the good sense of not resorting to violence to gratify passions and earn short term acclaim.

    That was a rhetorical question. You really can’t control yourself. I understand. Now if you have a complaint, rather than wasting time here, you should email Craig with your suspicion, or maybe Mossad can be of assistance.

  • Dreoilin

    “Ah! the little Wren is confused.”

    Not one bit. I’ve been watching you arrive here day after day, one after the other, around 3pm GMT. Which I believe is 7am California time.

    and when I asked Ben, “Are you Republicofscotland” he got all angry and rude, but he didn’t actually answer. (Not that he would admit it, more than likely.)

  • Dreoilin

    “But why would a little Wren like you, need to hide his IP address in the first place, unless you’re a mischief making little Wren”

    I wanted to comment on one of your Tea Party blogs, where the racist shits has banned me.

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    Are you a female? IP’s don’t reveal gender. Maybe I’m being sock-puppeted by RD. Are you really RD?

    It’s really easy to steal avatars as we’ve seen. Where’s your proof of identity?

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    “I wanted to comment on one of your Tea Party blogs, where the racist shits has banned me.”

    A likely story. Can you prove you’ve been banned by right-wingnutz?

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    You really do display a masculine attitude. Are you taking testosterone?

  • Dreoilin

    and Ben, you need to get your ideas from somewhere other than from Fedup, who is unbalanced. I’ve been promoting the Palestinian cause here for years. Check the archives.

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    You still haven’t declared you aren’t resident Dissident?

    Ah so the little Wren thinks he’s solved a non existent conundrum, fly now little Wren and do a victory flight.

    ” Check the archives.”

    It’s not my job to prove your authenticity?

    But when you come up with links, make sure we know it’s actually Dreoilin speaking at the present moment.

    Someone who believes in the palestinian cause would not be providing succor to Zionists.

  • Republicofscotland

    I do love a chap who has firm opinions and expresses them clearly and with confidence.

  • Dreoilin

    I don’t provide succour to Zionists, Ben. Can you prove anyone here is a zionist? Who would they be?

    and when will you declare you’re not Republicofscotland?

  • Republicofscotland

    BEN

    A word to the wise you don’t need to prove anything to anyone in here, the little Wren is trying to pull your chain, relax, and roll with the punches.

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    That’s what this blog has become, Ba’al. Nitpickers who want to derail any discussion of Israel. {note the troll’s shot at me was after I posted Abbas calling out Israel on war crimes}

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    I’m assuming you can read English. BTW, this is one of RD/Havasack/Anon tactics.

  • Anon1

    RoS

    “BEN it would appear, that Habb and his minion Dreoilin, think we are the same person, all I can say about that is great minds think alike”

    Probably doesn’t help that you’re both into Holocaust denial.

  • Dreoilin

    “When will you prove you’re not RD?”

    Don’t ask me silly questions. Where are all these Zionists I’m supposed to be “enabling”? Would you like to name a couple?

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    Look who showed up for support. What a coincidence.

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    ” Would you like to name a couple?”

    I just did. Now if you are truly Dreoilin, add your name. That is unless you can prove you’re not Hasbara.

  • Republicofscotland

    Well well, another of Habbs little mouthpieces pipes in, the Organ Grinder has many monkeys.

    Are you using Braille software? You seem to have a difficult time reading answers.

  • Ben E. Geserit Muad'Dib Further Confounding Gender Speculators

    Now the sock-puppet is spamming. Can the poseur kindly stop with the multiple personalities?

  • Dreoilin

    You’re saying that RD/Hababkuk/Anon are Zionists? Can you prove that?

    I thought you were a retired journalist, Ben. So how come you want me to prove a negative? That I’m not hasbara. Isn’t that more than a little bit silly?

    Can you prove you’re not Republicofscotland?
