Controversy Bloggs

     Every now and then a reference is made indicating the tolerance of US citizens to put up with compulsive and consummate lying by their presidents. OK Trump is more upfront with the ‘alternative fact’ rhetoric but is he the most dishonest of all presidents when it comes to endangering the health and wellbeing of said citizens.

     George W (mouthpiece for Chaney), and his minders lied about the Iraq stockpile of chemical weapons and WMDs even though the teams of inspectors he sent there reported no case to answer. That bit of BS cost the lives of over 100,000 innocent men women and children.

     How about Ronald Reagan? Reagan lied about the Iran Iraq war from day one. He and Bush senior repeatedly told the populace Iran started the war.

     Reagan used this ruse to assist the Iraqis even though he maintained the US would not become involved.  He sent Bacillus anthracis, (produces Anthrax).Clostridium botulinim; Histoplasma capulatum; Brucella melitenis; Clostridium perfingens and Escherichia coli (E coli). He packaged them as ‘pesticides’

He sent Bell helicopters to the border region. These were classified as non military and therefore of no use in the conflict. (Except of course to deliver ‘pesticides’ which were manufactured in the chemical plants he built there).

     If we could replay the Iraqi official broadcast we would hear “The waves of insects are attacking the Eastern gates of the Arab nation. But we have the pesticides to wipe them out”.

     An engineer from Texas said the plant he was working at produced fertilizer, when in reality it produced nerve and mustard gas. (Germany supplied Iraq with both nerve and mustard gas).

(The nerve gas would paralyse their bodies so they would void their bladders and the mustard gas would drown them in their own lungs, hence they spat blood).

      The official report not released until the 1990s stated “ The Us government provided Iraq with dual use licensed materials which assisted in the development of chemical, biological and missile-system programmes, including …… chemical warfare agent production facility plant and technical drawings (provided as pesticide production facility plans), chemical warfare filling equipment … Result; estimated at over 500,000 dead.

     Now somewhere in all this mess we find the US, Britain, Israel, France etc all supplying arms to both sides of the conflict. (Remember the lunatic Oliver North)?    

     An indication of Reagan’s intelligence; “Well I learned a lot, I went down to Latin America to find out from them and learn their views. You’d be surprised. They’re all individual countries”

     Reagan economics; Shut down all manned forts and other service related sections, put 250,000 people out of work and spend the savings on weapons to kill people.

 So! What I’m saying is; yes if you held Reagan up to the light, you may have seen a glow through his rear end, but don’t be misled – it was not the sun as some people may imagine, it was simply the light leaking through his glass navel. Yep! His head was so far up his own bum he needed a glass navel to view the world. Explains his tunnel vision too! Could be classed as a lying  mass murdering, subhuman piece of scum.

Just my thoughts.

 Iran shoots down one of its own commercial aircraft. After initial denials, it has claimed responsibility for the catastrophe and has arrested persons responsible.

Go back to July 3^rd 1988. Captain Rogers of the USS Vincennes a US Frigate warship in the gulf, fires two surface to air missiles and blows Iran Air IR655, a commercial daily flight, with 290 passengers on board, out of the air. ” No arrests, only fabricated stories to get themselves off the hook. After changing their story multiple times the Pentagon lost all and any credibility when their reports were ridiculed by on the spot witnesses and reports. When Ronald Reagan finally apologized “Our expressions of regret are enough” he stated. (This is the same Reagan who is responsible for people in the west believing Iran started the war with Iraq, he repeated it so many times it became fact for the masses). (It seems being a consummate and compulsive liar may just be part of the US Presidents job description).

Vice president Bush told the UN security council, the ‘Vincennes’ was rushing to the aid of a merchant ship under attack – an absolute lie!

To say it was an accident would be to gloss over the facts and replace them with a fairytale. Even the captain (David Carlson) of the sister ship, the ‘USS Sides’, says Rogers must have known it was a commercial flight, one flown every day. Both ships received the same information, the ‘Sides’ correctly identified the craft as did an Italian ship nearby.

To add insult to injury as it were, the good people of Vincennes Indiana raised money, not for the families of those massacred, but to erect a monument to the ship of the same name. When the ship returned to American soil, the crew were given a hero’s welcome and awarded combat action medals. Probably not the first time a statue has been erected to commemorate a mass murder.

‘Newsweek’, an Irish newspaper and (I believe) an Israeli newspaper were the only media to report the facts. The rest of the world relied on the BS and edited versions of the story. (All references to US fault were deleted). Western media making sure the Iranian side of the story would never make it to the populace.

Re a drone and missile strike on a Saudi Arabian oilfield in September 2019.

Immediate response from the US blames Iran.

Who gains from a conflict between the US and Iran, Saudi Arabia or Iran or a combination?

Who has the most advanced drone and missile technology in the region?

Who has been preparing for a conflict with Iran for years?

In mid August this year, (2019) Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman met with Netanyahu to discuss an attack on Hezbollah (read Iran), he was told to wait as the time was not yet right.

In mid August there was a drone strike on Dahiea in Lebanon. It destroyed a Hezbollah media centre. Drone strikes on targets in Syria and Iraq are common. Only one suspect there!

So who stands to gain from a major conflict? Easy – Saudi Arabia and Israel. Both have a common interest in destroying Shia power.

Most advanced technology? Israel.

Preparing for years? Israel.

Of the eight desks in Mossad, three are pertinent to this discussion.

Metsada;  conducting assassinations, sabotage, paramilitary and psychological warfare operations.

LAP; responsible for psychological warfare, propaganda and deception operations.

Research Department; responsible for intelligence production through 15 geographical sections. Plus a WMD desk focused on special weapons issues.

Conclusion! Actual responsibility for the Saudi attack – Israel even money, Iran 100 to one.

Just my thoughts!

It’s now official, the rights and lives of US citizens are secondary to the god of money. Trump does not want to lose an arms contract (he says is worth 118 billion – read 14 billion as yet unsigned) with Saudi Arabia just because they murdered and dismembered a US journalist. When money becomes a more important asset than the lives of the citizens of that country, the citizens are less than second class.  Saudi Arabia 1- US citizens nil!

Adding to the conflicting rhetoric of the administration, anti Muslim sentiment is rife within the White House but they support the country which builds and finances Wahhabism doctrine schools all over the world. The very source of fundamentalist Muslim doctrine, turning out brain washed adherents to a version of the Koran which rejects human rights as we know and understand them. These ‘graduates’ are the very people the administration rail against – yet support with weapons and money. Maybe the scoreboard should read Saudi Arabia 2 – US citizens nil!

Media Folly. The tragic death of the young Israeli girl in Melbourne has reopened a journalistic problem I have with the Australian media. The girl and her father have both been referred to as Israeli Arabs. As opposed to what? Israeli Indians, Israeli Caucasians, Israeli Asians. Either they are Israelis or they are not. Unless my geographical and ethnicity history is flawed, the population of the region are all Arab (except for the imports). This reporting is as stupid as the very common Jews and Arabs rhetoric. Arabs are an ethnic race, Jews are adherents to the Jewish religion. Let’s try to keep apples with apples. Divisive reporting and media propaganda bring to mind Rwanda, The Baltic’s, Germany and all the other places where atrocities were committed because neighbors were told they were different.

Many people believe we have Extraterrestrials living among us – I have a theory. Having attempted to fill out government forms I am of the opinion we do have aliens in our midst. They  are gainfully employed in the public service sector designing  and constructing forms for the rest of us to fill in, and then manning the phones to make sure we cannot do it. An example, I needed to apply for a registration number to allow me to access certain government forms, fine, after diligently filling out what felt like 93 pages of non relevant information I went to the next page – ‘Please enter your registration number’ . Ok that is for people who already have a rego number, so I will go to the next page – wrong, one has to enter the registration number to access the next page.

Hang on! I am applying for the rego number. I decided to call the associated department and was put on hold. With the phone on speaker, I swept, mopped and vacuumed the house, painted a feature wall in the bedroom and watched a series on Netflix. Finally a voice. I explained the situation and was bluntly informed everyone has a number. Where would I find my number I asked. ‘Don’t know was the reply, you should take better care of your personal details. How do I go about retrieving my number and from which government department? ‘You get it from this department by filling out a form’. Which form? ‘The one you have been filling out’. May I speak to someone who not only speaks English but also understands it? Hello! Hello! Yep, aliens.

The greatest folly of the 20th century was the creation of the state of Israel – without creating a Palestinian state at the same time. The world has paid an enormous price and will continue to pay until a settlement is achieved. But to do that certain parties must be excluded from the process. Israel has a standard of living higher than Spain but is still the largest recipient of US aid. This does not take into account the non repayable ‘loans’ relating to arms – billions of dollars. Delete the US from the table, at the very least a conflict of interest.

The Dream Folly.

‘Let’s call her Paula’ The lady has a Freudian dream, in the dream Australia has a  government Paula does not agree with, they promote a foreign religion and different customs. Fearing reprisals she pays her life savings to people smugglers for her passage on an overcrowded leaky boat to NZ.

Upon arrival she seeks asylum – as is her right. She is neither an immigrant nor are her actions illegal. She is granted a temporary visa whilst waiting her review for refugee status.

In the meantime she is given humanitarian aid in the way of shelter, food and other necessities.

Waking from the dream a hot cup of Milo is in order.

Drifting back to sleep, the dream changes tempo. No longer is she housed in acceptable quarters, but finds herself in a concentration camp. It looks just like the one at Woomera. Razor wire and guards. Her requests for information are met with the standard ‘you will be told in due course’.

When  a newspaper does reach the facility and is passed around, Paula is disgusted to read the letters to the editor section. Writer after writer does not want the asylum seekers on their land. Send them home – send them anywhere! They are subversive and alien. They want to change the local way of life. Talk back radio echoes the theme. The newcomers are labeled illegal immigrants. They are accused of receiving welfare benefits that should be given to locals.

Waking from this dream, a scotch is required.

Back to sleep and a new set of circumstances. The leaky boat is intercepted by a gun boat one hundred miles off  the NZ coast. The people are supplied with food, water and fuel and told to turn back. As the government refuses to supply information regarding the wellbeing of the asylum seekers, and monitoring is at a minimum, no one will ever know where or when they drowned.

Paula is lucky, she can wake up from the nightmare.

While the politicians and media keep the pressure on to maintain the paranoid xenophobic bigotry, the immediate issues are relegated to the too hard basket. For example, in Australia a woman is eighty thousand times more likely to be killed, maimed, seriously injured or mentally abused (conservative – there are eighty thousand calls to help centres each year by domestic violence sufferers) by her partner each year, than she is to be a victim of an attack by a foreign source. For a child, make that nearly fifty thousand times. No one wants to tackle real issues hence the aiming at soft targets. A redirected anger at the issues in the hard basket would be much more appropriate and palatable to the thinking populace.

A terrorist is one who terrorises, one who causes or instigates terror. The wife and child bash-artists, the meth fueled road rage morons and the drunken gutter thugs are the ever present current threat. They are a much greater danger to the well being of ordinary Australians than radical insurgents.

Religious Folly! When we saw a child carrying the head of a murdered person on the TV and in the print media, who amongst you automatically thought the child was Muslim? Children are baptised into the Christian religions, they undergo other rituals in other religions and are supposedly born into yet other religions or are automatically accepted as members of religions. Sorry but the idea is blatantly ridiculous. A religious person is one who is mature enough to firmly believe in the god of their choice, not the choice of their parents or anyone else. Teaching religious doctrine to a child should be child abuse unless the child is taught the basic concepts of all religions. A child born into a Jewish family is not a Jew. The same applies to the Muslim faiths. I imagine most Christian families believe their children are of the same religion as themselves, not so until the child reaches a mature understanding of the religion and embraces it.

North Korea Folly! I’m still surprised at the number of people who believe Trump initiated the talks with Kim Jon-un, when the opposite is true. If one follows the timeline of missile deployment in Nth Korea and the public statements by their leader, the invitation to talks only happened after Kim Jon-un declared his countries objectives had been realised. That was when he sent his envoys to the US. Nth Korea was never a threat to the US or anybody else simply because there are 27 manned US bases in South Korea, just spitting distance away, and 84 manned US bases in Japan – just a short throw away. Kim is not stupid, nor is he suicidal. He is however well aware and well versed in playing political games with the US. He can negotiate a treaty or MOU knowing full well he does not have to abide by the document after the first page. Why? because the other signatory has no intention of keeping up their end of the contract. In short the terms dictated Nth Korea dismantles the rocket sites, (mostly done) and starts to denuclearize, best estimate is ten years from now if both sides play ball. Not going to happen. Kim’s wish list is the lifting of sanctions and the withdrawal of the military bases in the south. Trump has mentioned the withdrawal (so did jimmy carter) but the lifting of sanctions is not in the interests of the US.
