Masopher’s Mind

A Korean owned ship the MT Ann and an Iraqi owned ship the MV Hounslow have been reported as being impounded for being connected with the cutting of the undersea internet cables reported earlier this year.
In The first few months of the year the undersea cable connecting the middle east to the rest of the world experience several breaks leading many to believe that there was sabotage or human error.
Both ships were located in Dubai. Whether the two are connected in unknown but it is noted that Korean-Iraqi boat traffic has risen 20 fold since the beginning of the Iraq war.

The prefixes of the Ann and Hounslow indicate that they are a motorized tanker and a motorized ship respectively. The Houslow is most likely diesel run.
It was reported that the owner of the Ann has admitted liability and was fined $60,000 (roughly £30,000)

So far Masopher has been unable to ascertain whether any of the sea men on Ann were discharged. She declined to comment.

Somewhere along the line people have learned that being violent for a man of peace is an acceptable behavior. Somehow Jesus inspired bloody crusades and invasions, YHWH inspired the suppression of an indigenous people and Mohamed taught that Jihad was the best way to handle Christians and Jews. The last one on the boat to nowhere is rioting, violent Buddhists. I have watched broadcast after broadcast and statement after statement of the Dalai Lama, the incarnation of the Bodhisattva itself begging for peace and tolerance and somehow, China, Tibetians and the west have interpreted confrontation, violence and shameful disorder.

Unlike the mosaic law, the Bible and Qran, it’s hard to see how “I do not wish for violence, Tibetian autonomy is desired but not independence, I am happy to see the Olympics in China” becomes, “beat up torch carriers and chop up monks, ban the Olympics, free Tibet.” It is Masopher’s firm position that Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Chinese are in the largest part, good, decent and peaceful people, it is just asshats like Wu Heping, Zhang Qingli the Tibetan People’s Uprising Movement and the usual bunch of jokers that scarce deserve re-mention that mess it up for the rest of them.

Jesus, Mohammed and credible prophets aren’t around to defend themselves for the actions of their followers but I really doubt it makes a difference. Even if they were, somehow a damp eyed interviewer or low ranking government bleater would try to get them to condone brutality, asinine behavior and hypocritical politics.

People still haven’t gotten used to recycling. Throw away the old, get something new. They’ve made the “mistake” of recycling a Bush Whitehouse and they don’t want to make the mistake of recycling a Clinton. With the dirt that was dug up on the Clintons and Rodhams back in the 90’s I’m surprised that this dolled up Hillary dared resurrect herself with her “war stories” and animated gestures. It looks very unnatural for her to do that, because people with long term memory or footage of her from the 90’s know that Hillary Clinton is nothing like that. She has never been in danger and she doesn’t have a dynamic personality no matter what her PR manager makes her up to be. Those with memory remember how “cold” she was and I am pretty sure that we genuinely speculated of the purely strategic nature of Hillary and Bills relationship. If America genuinely wanted a woman in candidacy they would have forced Oprah to run. Biologically Hillary qualifies as female but so do cadavers and blow up dolls.

Let’s not forget events like Whitewater, role in controversial presidential pardons, her relationship with Walmart, and her strategic bandwagon hopping along with the entire Democratic party. I don’t accuse Mrs. Clinton of anything other than being part of the wallpaper of a boring unmotivated and equally corrupt democratic house. She has currently painted herself as a door to somewhere else but it’s just paint there is nothing behind it.

The question on everybody’s mind is: will she pick up the marbles and go home? Will she kill the Democratic Party’s chance for presidency if she is unable to lead it? Masopher believes that she will. The Democratic Party has suffered infighting for many years now, even when Bill Clinton was in power the party could not hold it together to lock the Republicans out of congress. Their previous nominations have been abysmal and the current “rerun versus mystery box” ticket is another example of their inability to say anything other than, we won’t do what the other guys are doing. Jumping on the war bandwagon, hopping off it when things looked bleak; using anti-war as their platform to gain congressional power, remaining silent now that they are in charge of it; voting according to personal agenda and opinion polls rather than for what is right. A divided house cannot stand.

Clinton may lose nothing for the party if she locks Obama out with her delegates. Many of her supporters will refuse to vote Obama further reducing his opportunity at presidency. John Edwards has done so and Hillary may be looking beyond the horizon to being the hero of the Republican Party and returning to being a senatorial power broker. Her tenacity is dogged and true to form, if there is still an ounce of modern woman left in Hillary Rodham Clinton, she will make this fight dirty and disgraceful and Masopher eagerly awaits this.
