Translation- I Hate You

Republican Lingo: “You hate us.”

Democratic Lingo: “I love you. Take my advice, this will help you go to heaven”- inserts knife into you.

Democracy in Action

Craig Murray was told by BBC that he is too insignificant to be covered.

Car Manufacturers of the Muslim World

I know of only two major carmakers in the Muslim world-

Etox (Turkey)

Mostly sports car. (Careful if you are on Windows machine. The site seems to have been hacked recently.)

Proton

(Malaysia based, but the link is to their UK site)
Largest manufacturer in Malaysia. They also hold the Lotus brand in the UK, where they make sports cars.

Nobel Laureate Arrested: Intellectuals all over the World Protest

The world is outraged at the arrest of prominent figures without any charges, and on international waters.

A number of foreign activists are still in detention in a Tel Aviv jail four days after the Israeli navy stopped their boat as they attempted to reach the Gaza Strip.

Mairead Maguire, a Nobel peace prize winner, told Al Jazeera on Saturday that the activists had agreed to remain in detention until Israel agreed to free all of the activists.

The corporate media, however, have blocked the news out.

The Jagat Seths of Iran

Jagat Seths of Iran are happy. I was lucky to have a conversation with one. He was clearly calling for intervention, and even invasion. According to him, villagers in Iran are a minority (20% of the population, to be precise!) Ahmadinjad wants to start a dictatorship. “They want to rule the country according to Islam” he rolls his eyes. “What’s wrong with that?” I ask. “What was wrong with the Taliban?” He retorts. Taliban and the Iranian government? They were mortal enemies, my friend. But if you speak what you do not believe, who can help you?

The real reason he was so furious with the government is that he’s from a very wealthy family in Iran. And they stand to gain a lot from an occupation/or a Shah style puppet government (remember Ahmad Chalabi?).

Stark Choice

A hothead is orders of magnitude more dangerous when he’s on kursi. Given a choice between a known hypocratic government and a heavy handed government, a hypocrat is better kept on the kursi.

(Example of a hothead party- BJP.
Example of a hypocratic party- The Indian National Congress.)

This is true regardless of the country.

Be Alarmed

You should be alarmed when a republican says- I’ll kill you. Not so when a democrat says that, ’cause it’s temporary and he’ll come back to his senses soon.

But beware when a democrat says- I want to help you. Be very aware.

  Is the internet no place for subtlety? I’ll give it a shot.
