Peace in the Middle East http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/12/29/peace-in-the-middle-east/ http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/12/29/peace-in-the-middle-east/#comments Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:42:29 +0000 felipe BlogMouth News Watching http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/12/29/peace-in-the-middle-east/ Those involved in the Mid East conflict are not adherents of the Middle Way. To those that cry for ‘peace in the Middle East,’ I say ‘not in our time.’ The Bush administration warned the Palestinians to to stop firing rockets, but continue dying, and perhaps in the afterlife they can attain peace and a homeland. For peace in the Middle East can only be obtained by the total annihilation and submission of their people.

For every bomb Israel drops on the Palestinians equals to one more day in the war, and hate grows with compound interest. You can’t fight a conventional war, with tanks and heat seeking missiles against a people that don’t have land to stand on, don’t have food to feed their children, don’t have medicine to aid their sick, and don’t have an economy to gainfully employee its populace. There is no military honor, personal glory, and divine justice to fight against and crush to their tombs the disillusioned, desperate, and destitute.

Some defend themselves with tooth and nail, and others with armored vehicles and laser guided missiles. A man that walks into a bus strapped with a bomb is not a martyr, nor is he is a terrorist, he is a desperate soldier in a lost war. The terrorist is he that drops down hundreds of tons of bombs down on towns as it if they where rain drops, and the martyrs are those children dead.

Israel will never allow Palestine, and Lebanon for that matter, to flourish, it will prevent at all costs for its neighbors to grow economically, and it will disrupt any develop into a self sustained independent statehood. Israel feels secure by making those around it insecure, it wants to build a modern society amongst the ruins of those around it, and it wants to redeem and avenge the Holocaust with a long drawn out trans-generational genocide. The Israeli government has drawn out the Final Solution of the Palestinian Question.

First They Laidoff… http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/12/14/first-they-laidoff/ http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/12/14/first-they-laidoff/#comments Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:40:56 +0000 felipe BlogMouth News Watching http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/12/14/first-they-laidoff/ Here is a modern economic crisis edition of the poem First They Came…

They laid off first the unskilled workers, and I did nothing because I wasn’t unskilled.
Then they trimmed the manual laborers, and I did nothing because I wasn’t a manual laborer.
Then they outsourced the blue collar worker, and I did nothing because I wasn’t a blue collar worker.
Then they cut back the middle management, and I did nothing because I wasn’t a middle manager.
Then they slashed the knowledge workers, and I did nothing because I wasn’t a knowledge worker.
Then the shutdown without giving the remaining employees any benefits because Bank of America refused to extend a line of credit to the company, and by that time no one was left to do anything since they where all collecting unemployment.

Bailout Bonanza http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/09/27/bailout-bonanza/ http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/09/27/bailout-bonanza/#comments Sat, 27 Sep 2008 19:04:20 +0000 felipe BlogMouth BlogSphere News Watching Reading http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/09/27/bailout-bonanza/ Here is a stream of my tweets on the possible economic bailout.

  • Bailout = No Bankers left behind. Stop Loss = Soldiers left behind in war zone.
  • Strong economy, it is a bull market. Weak economy, a bear market. Economy collapses, a bear will maul you while a bull gores you..
  • bull market ^ bull shit = collapse + bailout = taxes * people + prices hikes * products = bankers @ vacation homes.
  • I am short on liquid assets, I want the fed to bail me out too.
  • An idea that makes money, even if it doesn’t make any sense, will be considered a great idea. An idea is only dumb when it loses money.
  • The government will not bail out the people, they will only bail out the system.
  • If I fail, maybe my family will bail me out. If the bankers fail, with billions of investors money, then the government bails them out.

Economic Fail

Obama Is Here http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/07/31/obama-is-here/ http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/07/31/obama-is-here/#comments Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:11:57 +0000 felipe BlogMouth People News Watching http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2008/07/31/obama-is-here/ Christopher Bridges, better known by his stooge name Ludacris, has recorded and released a song in support of Obama. The song is entitled ‘Politics: Obama Is Here.’ In song Ludacris states that the world is ready for change because Obamam is here, but the first thing he asks of Obama is special pardon from jail, and the VP office. This is not change, this is just like all other administrations. The supporters of the the President are just it to wit it.

The only change Obama wants, is to change his current address to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Obama will not be the first black president. It was said that Bill Clinton was the first black president. If Obama gets elected to president, Bill Clinton will still continue to be the only black president. Obama will be the first president to make everybody think he is black, his politricks are very whity.

The United States dropped to seventh place, having held the top spot last year.

Here is a video of one of the founders of Skype, a Danish serial entrepreneur, at the World Economic Forum. Skype was sold to Ebay for a cool $2.6 billion back in 2005.


The World Economic Forum gathers top technology and business leaders such as Bill Gates. Bill Gates tries to seem visionary stating that if ‘web 3.0′ is the next big buzzword it shows the lack of creativity in technologist. Speaking of lack of creativity, Microsoft has been accused plenty of times as following the teal-light of truly innovative companies. Bill Gates feels that in the next ten years we have room for four more buzzwords.

The Cold War 2.0 http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2007/04/28/the-cold-war-20/ http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2007/04/28/the-cold-war-20/#comments Sun, 29 Apr 2007 01:25:49 +0000 felipe BlogMouth News Reading http://www.blogzenze.com/blogmouth/2007/04/28/the-cold-war-20/ We all thought that the Cold War ended when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. But recent remarks by the Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Russian congress in his yearly State of the Nation address has the news wires, political analysts, and NATO command asking if the Cold War is hot again. President Putin stated the he plans halt Russia’s commitments to the 1990 Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty (CFET) at least until new NATO states have ratified the treaty. The CFET has strong limits on signatory nations on the number of military troops and equipment positioned in continental Europe. Think of the CFET as a cap on what countries could spend in military hardware, or a stop light on the arms race.

President Putin is taking a hard stance on the CFET because the Czech Republic and Poland, former Soviet block countries, are thought to be potential locations for an European missile defense shield proposed and sponsored by the United States. The Bush administration believes that a missile defense shield along and facing the Russian border will protect NATO nations against missile threats from Iran or North Korea. Since the Bush administration has been caught crying wolf about Weapons of Mass Destruction President Putin dispelled the logic behind having an American missile defense in Europe by saying, “This talk about defense against terrorist is simply ridiculous, terrorist use other methods, and the terrorist threat should be countered by cooperation rather than confrontation.”

President Putin is also quoted as saying that the presence of American missiles in Europe would heighten the risk of mutual destruction. In regards to the Russian protest of the missile defense the United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice dismissed Putin’s concerns as laughable. She said, “The idea that somehow 10 interceptors and a few radars in Eastern Europe are going to threaten the Soviet strategic deterrent is purely ludicrous.” Instead of ridiculing the concerns of the Russian head of state, a man in command of thousand of nuclear warheads, I would recommend that the US Secretary of State review the events that lead up to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

At the height of the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world to a standstill as it almost brought it to an end. From the American perspective the crisis began when the Soviet Union furnished Cuba with Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) armed with nuclear warheads. Cuba is just 90 miles south of Florida and a Soviet ICBM has the range to reach Washington, D.C. or New York. From the Soviet perspective, the crisis began when the United States installed nuclear warheads in Turkey. Let us remember history, not repeat it.

In the 1987 President Regan said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” It seems that President Putin is now trying to say, “Mr. Bush, don’t build this wall!”
