Masopher’s Mind

I was listening to a lecture by Gilles Kepler and it really brought back to me just how instrumental London is in creating radical Islam.  Almost none of what I am about to say was mentioned by Kepler by the way, but here’s what I think.

English guy (T.E. Lawrence) goes riding through Arabia inciting Anti Ottoman and Anti German sentiment. This leads to the defeat of two empires one in the Middle East and the other a bit later in North Africa. The Middle East and Africa is divvied up between the French and English. In a similar fashion, later Germany and Europe is divvied up between the USA and Russia.

England decides to break up Indiostan into Muslim and a Hindu countries, making one country that has two parts and another much larger one dividing it and leaving a large plot of land unallocated. The two new countries, India and Pakistan-Bangladesh fall into fighting and civil war as Muslims and Hindus become displaced and soon one set of Muslims(The Bengalis) decide not to be part of the other set (The Pakistanis). Both countries soon acquire nuclear weapons, Allah/Vishnu know where from, and proceed to start not only racing to destruction but proliferating weapons of mass destruction to every rag head, bearded prophet and wild eyed dictator that can fork over oil money.

Along with the lovely Muslim and Hindu countries, England “loses control” of its large Jewish population and by lose control I mean encourages and assists;  to grab a large swathe of land which displaces a Muslim population and creates a contentious Jewish country.

Later, England loses control of the Persian population and by loses control I mean the puppet that was exploiting his people and allowing BP to plunder the oil was thrown out in a revolution that put a serious dent in global wealth via the crash of 1979 and creates a serious enemy of the West in the form of Khomeini and his Iranian successors.

One massive country with oil slips away but thanks to billions of dollars worth of planes in the Al Yamamah agreements another is held tightly as a friend. Over the years the Saudi government with its Yemeni refugees proves to be an invaluable source of information, insurgents and energy.

England has also been inviting uneducated unfamiliar populations from India, Pakistan and dozens of Arab and North African countries into England to essentially graft themselves onto the UK population. They can become “British” but they can never be “English”. England is a country of Caucasians that was known for sending several crusades into these same countries and with much foreign office meddling (see above for Lawrence of Arabia or various “Chatham House Version” incursions).  The British are the populations that pay taxes do the menial jobs and get used and sponsored in efforts to bring down the governments of the countries that they left behind.

Sooner or later the Muslims start talking. Yes they are helping the Muslim brotherhood fight Egypt, Syria and Libya, and yes they are helping the Mujahideen fight the Soviets but they also start trading stories about Palestine, and the fact that most of the apostate Governments and “near enemies” are actually part sponsored by English and Western taxes.

The story can get confusing because there is so much happening all at once but the Muslims eventually seem to get the point that England and its set of Western colonies(The states of America) are the real (far)enemy. Even young Nigerians bear a taint of London schooling as they board American flights on Christmas day with the intent of setting their crotch on fire to the demise of people heading home to eat figgy pudding and some honey roasted ham with their loved ones.

The English threat is very obvious to the Arab, North African, Persian and South Asian populations, its not a threat of direct force but a threat of machination. But the double talking double dealing lessons have been learned by the target populations along with a sense of cynicism and paranoia. India, Pakistan, Iran Israel and Saudi Arabia exchange pleasantries one day and threaten each other existentially the very next. What once threatened Spain, Germany and France in one form two centuries ago now threatens the future of humanity in this one. It’s not England but it’s unmistakably English.

This should be changed. It should be a changed to “just don’t fuck and we don’t give a fuck.” I will probably always come across as a little homophobic. Being raised in one of the more conservative parts and times of the world, homosexuality is something I tend to relegate to the times of the Greeks and some over populated types of animals. On the other hand the military is an institution that lumps tough women and scores and scores of even tougher men together for months maybe years on end. They are lumped together to make war, not love. I remember this lecture from  Alain de Botton about employers and sex. Essentially employers don’t want people having sex not because of the complications or the relationships but simply because the employer needs the employee focused on the given and unnatural task of labour and not on the innate and natural task of arranging for going into labour.

The Congress is worried when it finds out that 13000 gay men and women have been discharged from the military just because they happen to be gay. This is 13000 people less that could be discharging their weapons at the Taliban, terrorists and Russians. Given that a typical military weapon can discharge around 800 rounds per minute this means an infantry loss of 10 million bullets a minute not fired. If these people who volunteered to murder for their country were still hard at work, the military would be able to kill the entire world in around 10 hours with just the gays!

Wear the uniform correctly, kill who and when I want and keep your dick in your pants when on duty. These are my only conditions for a soldier of any sexual predilection. I would lay this rule down indiscriminately. Issues like HIV have to be addressed as a separate issue but again this is another universal norm.

“Sailors wives” and cabin boys are euphemisms that the navy has kept hidden away for longer than ships went over the oceans, when the greatest of fleets puttered around the coasts of the Mediterranean. Even in land campaigns squires enjoyed a certain, air of mystery as they served the generals in the tents at night while the soldiers had to satisfy themselves with pillage and the raping of village wenches.

It’s modern times in Afghanistan, so modern that generals are following in the steps of Alexander and going head to head with a nation where “every man is an Alexander”. The great Persian knew that a bit of man-love did not soften fighting spirit so perhaps it is time the new invaders from the West adopt his proven tactics?

President Obama had his state of the union speech this week. Republicans sneered at it Democrats applauded it. With minor losses in the house, Democrats are feeling a sense of vulnerability and talk of concessions has broken out in the ranks. But Obama, great politician that he is, puts a great face on the situation. The worst recession, the most complex PAIR of wars, civil right, freedom, American principles on the back foot: Obama’s task is the most significant and yet could appear the least important. Americans are walking on thin air with the ground 1000 feet below like Elmer Fudd in the old “Looney Toons” cartoons. Obama’s task is to fill the void that Americans are traversing before they realize just how oblivious they are to the danger and gravity takes it’s toll. And this is why even if Obama is successful no one will realize it. Keeping the shakey country together while it’s citizens blithely go about their business could take everything out of Obama’s presidency. Success mean little but failiure could mean everything.
1 year into his presidency and Obama seems to have reached the highmark of his popularity. His healthcare bill is sputtering against heavy senatorial and lobbyist pressure, his hand held out to Iran has been slapped away and he is ramping up the Afghan war while at the same time capitulating to the Taliban. China has ignored pleas for the environment and the financial sector has ignored pleas for reform. It looks dire. There is not one desperate issue, there are several, none of which the rest of the democrats seem to be able to help with. Obamas problems is lack of leadership not lack of his own; as a leader he is a giant among them but for precisely that. Obama is the Atlas upon which the Americans and citizens of the world sit, only by his fall can his Herculean effort be recognized.
But we shall see, he has not delivered a first round knockout to his many opponents but he is a thinker, a strategist and there are still at least three rounds of good old fashion rope-a-dope left for this prizefighter.
