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 forgot to mention “Ruth” and “Miss Castello”….of whom not a peep all of a sudden 🙂

    For someone who produces as much verbiage as Tony M, it’s amazing that he can’t answer one simple question.

    On what do you base your conviction that I’m nowhere near Ireland, Tony M?

  • Habbabkuk (La vita è bella) !

    “There are others I won’t name who for whatever reason serve only to distract with offtopic diversions, posting rambling nonsense, music videos and so on, as if this was some irc #lounge chatroom, who know who they are.”

    Is the above a reference to either Tony_Opmoc or Ben (California Nazi) or both, Tony M?

  • Tony M

    Sectarianism is a product of the Union, it is a tool of the British state, its use in Scotland for divide and rule purposes, goes back at least as far as the monstrous John Knox.

  • Dreoilin

    “PS – is it not surprising that the apparent disappearance of our old friend Mary has not given rise to a SINGLE comment or bit of speculation?”

    Yes, very much so, and I sincerely hope she hasn’t had an accident. Or fallen suddenly ill.

    Btw, Habbabkuk, Tony M is announcing that either I’m you or you are me. Priceless.
    Nobody dare talk to someone who has been labelled a troll, or they’ll be labelled a troll themselves! The unofficial mods all over the page have decided that it should be so. So that’s that.

  • Dreoilin

    “Sectarianism is a product of the Union, it is a tool of the British state”

    Yes, just look at North of my country, Tony M.

    and on what do you base your stupid conviction that I’m nowhere near Ireland?

    “Careful ————·´`·.¸¸.¸¸.··.¸¸Node, you’re insulting ‘Fred’, but it is an hilarious example of his wilful misrepresentation of the bleeding obvious as its complete opposite and his detachment from all connection with reality. Malicious and bewilderingly stupid to suppose anyone could possibly fall for it. Something is seriously wrong there.”

    But what I say is fact shit for brains.

    Glaswegians getting pissed out of their heads and making cunts of themselves can not be blamed on the good people of Scotland who voted NO.

  • Habbabkuk (La vita è bella) !

    Yes indeed – Gaia Hepburn!

    I make a distinction between fakes like that who’re occasionally wheeled in to “reinforce” a trend (“Miss Castello” and “Ruth” are probably in the same category) and let’s say the deeper, longer-term deceptions…..the real dual-identities.

    PS – we know that “Macky” has flounced off again but where is the pugnacious “Herbie”, he of the persistent last word (in which trait he reminds me of an extant commenter)?

    “As I said, there were no Nazi salutes here, I haven’t heard of any Nazi salutes anywhere but Glasgow. Now considering the vast majority of No voters were not in Glasgow, Glasgow voted Yes, and considering there were no Nazi salutes outside Glasgow I would say they facts are very much backing up may case. The Nazi salutes had nothing to do with Yes or No and had everything to do with sectarianism being rife in Glasgow.”

    Give it up. The vast majority of YES voters were not in Glasgow either. And not one of the YES supporters who were in Glasgow gave a Nazi salute.
    Where there were Nazi salutes, it was NO voters doing them. If you insist on identifying sectarianism as a factor, we can say that the YES voters were the well behaved sectarians and the NO voters were the thuggish Nazi sectarians. But really, you should be addressing your interesting theory to Peter Howson – he’s the one who was so sickened by Unionist behaviour that he gave back his OBE.

    And that’s where I’ll leave it for tonight. There’s enough agro without me joining in.

    Not the part of Scotland I live. Not the vast majority of Scotland. No sectarianism here.

    “Give it up. The vast majority of YES voters were not in Glasgow either. ”

    But the majority in Glasgow were Yes voters.

    “Do you think you Know more about West Coast .. (That Would be CLYDE west Coast Where the Numbers Are ) than Myself”

    They aren’t Scotland.

    They just think they are.

    I knew enough the predict the outcome of the referendum. You knew enough to get it wrong.

  • nevermind, there's a future, still

    Had a great time counting the yes posters, still high up lamps posts in Tarbet, some even in Luss, and the Saltire flying proud of many a home in Lochgoilhead, dare i say in Argyleshire.
    I think you are talking out of your backside Fred, and you can take your Labour poster down, because people now understand that politics comes from us, not party politicians who delivered jack shit. Murphy is toast, another selfcentred FoI gone to the dogs, how naive can you get?

    It was good to meet so many good, up and standing Scots people who have Scotland at their heart. The food was great and the history of the place is tantalising.
    The coming G-election should be overlooked by the OECD, because Labours cheating czars will be in town trying to keep in power, scaring pensioners.

    @War… Please don’t think that fear and money can disparage us much longer. Its now the middle classes that are beginning to be manipulated, told to toe the line or else. People feel bad about living under the kosh and media manipulations and silencing does not just happen abroad, but is well up and running here.

    Listenig around Abertwinny and Balloch and Dunoon, Labour is toast, as for the Lib Dems….. bless, keep swimmin’.

    “Don’t forget ‘Gaia Hepburn’”

    Note the teamwork as RDreoilin and her Muse pass the hockey puck back and forth to the cheers of a crowd of one or two.

    “GOAL!!!” they announce before leaving the ice at half-time while declaring victory.

    They are what they seem.

    Netanyahoo echoes the sentiments of the RDreoilins.

    ““Make no mistake – ISIS (Islamic State) must be defeated. But to defeat ISIS and leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power is to win the battle and lose the war,” Netanyahu said at the UN headquarters in New York.

    “Iran’s nuclear military capabilities must be fully dismantled,” he added.

    As for Tehran’s recent “charm offensive” for the West, its true purpose is to see the international sanctions lifted “and remove the obstacles to Iran’s path to the [nuclear] bomb,” the prime minister stressed.

    Netanyahu called Iran’s concern about the spread of terrorism – earlier voiced by President Hassan Rouhani, from the same lectern – “one of history’s greatest displays of doubletalk.”

    He also slammed the countries, which now fully back US-led airstrikes against ISIS, but used to criticize Israel for their war against Hamas in Palestine.

    The PM stressed that Islamic radicals from ISIS and Hamas share the same task “of imposing militant Islam on the world.”

    “Hamas’s immediate goal is to destroy Israel, but it has a broader objective. When it comes to its ultimate goals, Hamas is ISIS, and ISIS is Hamas,” he said.

    According to Netanyahu, the 50-day operation in Gaza this summer, which saw 2,100 Palestinians – mainly civilians – killed and some 18,000 homes destroyed, was Israel’s war against “global militant Islam.”
