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.

    I wonder how many have been intimidated (like African Child soldiers) into joining the ranks just to save their own or their family’s lives. These gladiators also may simply join in because of poverty and want. The first kill is the worst, then it gets easier. Another crop is always available for harvest when those people fall.

    No it doesn’t. Just shows he’s sick of overtly racist cunts like you and ros.

    Bugger. Craig doesn’t like angle brackets. Should read, if I’ve got it right…

    In software Sources add deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free update the cache.
    In the terminal (not the Software source manager)
    sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get update
    You will find there are a lot of upgrades and some that won’t install. Say yes to the updates and yes when it come to the ‘bash change questions’
    Then when the upgrades have been installed, untick the ‘ftp sid main’ and update the cache and again in the terminal
    sudo apt-get update >

    ” Women are beheaded in Saudi Arabia for failing to live up to insane morality laws of abusive hypocrites. e.g. For having a fling. You may find this acceptable because it is “the law”, I do not. ”

    Where did I say I found it acceptable? What part of “abhorrent” do you not understand? Whatever horrors happen in Saudi Arabia it’s a step above indiscriminately beheading people because they happen to follow a different religion or be a different skin colour.

    Rapes in all countries tend to be under-reported, marital rape was only made illegal in the UK in 1991, are you suggesting the scale of under reporting in India is by a factor of 12 or worse? By all accounts ISIL is systematically using rape as a weapon to terrorise and subdue populations under it’s control but apparently it doesn’t matter because more women are raped in India.

    The Onion, heh.

    WASHINGTON—In a significant discovery that sheds new light on the region’s history, archaeologists excavating a site on Capitol Hill reportedly unearthed evidence this week suggesting that humans once passed laws there.

    The team of researchers from the University of Maryland confirmed that it collected a wealth of writing implements and ancient documents, which appeared to indicate that, in earlier ages, approximately 500 humans assembled at a centralized location and worked as a group, with the apparent goal of creating a system of rules designed to govern behavior.

    “Our finding that early inhabitants used to work toward the common objective of improving society through formal, cooperative efforts completely changes what we knew about the Washington D.C. region,” said lead archaeologist Peter Douglas, who expressed admiration for the sophisticated, self-sufficient civilization that once flourished along the banks of the Potomac River. “In fact, based on the sheer number of artifacts that we’ve unearthed, it appears this practice of law-crafting may have been their primary livelihood.”

    I should add they also discovered ancient man worked with others in a collective; cooperating with a mutually beneficial result.

    Those were OLD Leftists. We’re better than that now.

    Britain is set to join the air campaign against Isis in Iraq, but, going by David Cameron’s speech to the UN General Assembly, the Government has no more idea of what it is getting into in this war than Tony Blair did in 2003.
    Mr Cameron says that there should be “no rushing to join a conflict without a clear plan”, but he should keep in mind the warning of the American boxer Mike Tyson that “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.

    The Prime Minister says that lessons have been learned from British military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan but it is telling that he did not mention intervention in Libya for which he himself was responsible.

    I’m pretty sure David Cameron’s plan is to kill everyone in Iraq who disagrees with his policies.

    I see some people have mentioned the Falklands War on here not realising that Mrs Thatcher and members of her cabinet had set up shell companies BEFORE that broke out to launder £billions out of the treasury into off-shore accounts just like what is going on today with regard to members of this Tory/Lib-Dem government and Labour party with regard to these wars and “terrorist” attacks. It is all deliberate what is going on with the Elites and all of their corrupt puppets in our governments and political parties causing the collapse of the pension funds, banks and treasuries etc by laundering all of the money out into off-shore accounts as is being exposed by Professor George Lees and Gordon Bowden etc here:

    “Whatever horrors happen in Saudi Arabia it’s a step above indiscriminately beheading people because they happen to follow a different religion or be a different skin colour.”

    There you did it again. You consider Saudi beheadings “a step above”. I suggest they are equally fatal. I said that if beheadings was the reason for attacking, as was said, then it makes more sense to attack Saudi Arabia where beheading is of a greater scale.

    “ISIL is systematically using rape as a weapon to terrorise and subdue populations under it’s control but apparently it doesn’t matter because more women are raped in India.”

    I did not say ISIS rapes do not matter. I did say that if protecting girls from rape was the reason for attacking, as was said, then it makes more sense to attack India where rape is of a greater scale.

    I’m not sure how you keep misunderstanding such simple assertions.
