Peace in the Middle East

felipe — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:42:29 +0000

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…

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

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.

Obama Is Here

felipe — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:11:57 +0000

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.
