The Axis of Evil Hypocrisy

'Oh my God I have no friends. I'm like America the man'

American Dad

America, and other Western countries, within the last decade alone, have militarily intervened or bombed the shit out of or let drones attack the following countries; Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya and more by proxy. The famous justification for devastating Iraq was that 'God told me (George Bush) to do it'. The next stop on the sold out war tour of Muslim countries is Iran. I really don't know what I will do if this happens. How many more wars can we tolerate? How many more millions can suffer for the agendas of a few?

In a society where everything must be portrayed as a fantastical fairytale or it is simply irrelevant, the Americans are the good guys no matter how violent they are and Iran are the villains or 'not rational actors'. Newt Gingrich even said if it takes a pre-emptive strike to prevent another holocaust then so be it. Who exactly is threatening another holocaust????

Ahmedinibob has never threatened a holocaust and contrary to popular media mantra has also not denied the holocaust. If the mass media bothered to translate and communicate effectively it would have transpired that what he said was that the West rams 'free speech' down everyone's throat, using it as a tool to demean other countries yet is is illegal to deny the holocaust in certain countries and at the very least, any discussion that the holocaust didn't happen and/or is exaggerated is somehow off limits. The West committing hypocrisy? Never! Iran has merely committed the crime of intervening in the affairs of its neighbours, and the US, although they like capitalism, they do not like competition.


When someone says the word 'terrorist' what comes into your mind? Is it a Middle Eastern man with a beard? Because the biggest terrorists I see are white men in suits, talking of war as if they are talking about taking a walk in the park.  Prior to invading Iraq, the US were desperately trying to get as many countries on side as possible, lest we forget there were many who were involved in the invasion and occupation of Mesopotamia; Britain, Australia, Spain to name a few. One of the few European countries that refused to corroborate was famously France. Why? Not because France is 'Switzerland' but because Jacques Chirac had been a soldier, he had actually experienced what it was really like to step over dead and injured bodies in a war zone. One would think that it is probably easier to sign papers to send others to their death than going on the front line yourself.

Is it purely coincidental that the US have pulled out of Iraq and trying to get out of Afghanistan? Are they gearing up for a war on one axis of evil?

Just like the Hollywood movies we are bombarded with, these threats and ridiculous reasoning for war are myths based on the fantasy in someone's head. Just like the picture that is globally depicted as Jesus, which was created by an Italian painter centuries after Jesus' death, looking suspiciously like an Italian. Pure fantasy. I understand that Thatcher and Reagan implemented capitalism in order for the West to thrive but now capitalism controls the politicians. I knew AIPAC was rich and powerful but I didn't know they had enough money to buy the souls of the ones that lead us.

2011: We Care More About Kim Kardashian than the Arab Revolutions!

2011 is drawing to a close and what sums it up? According to Time Magazine it is the protester. Yet the REAL indication of anything in life apparently is Google. And the most Googled people are... Kim Kardashian and Rebecca Black. One a socialite turned sex tape star turned reality TV star, and the other a 13-year-old girl who put her music video on youtube and ended up receiving death threats due to the questionable quality of the song. I have nothing against these two people, they've done well in spite of their not so great beginnings of stardom. But the fact that in the UK the Arab Spring (or the economic crisis) did not feature is shocking but not surprising. 


The Middle East, 'what does that have to do with us?' A generation will claim. Well apparently a lot actually. We decided to fight alongside our ally, America after 9/11, by going to war in Afghanistan when Bin Laden had clearly already fled the country. We continued fighting there, but in order to justify this we then changed our tune and then were there because we were fighting the Taliban. Colonialisation apparently ended an age ago but there we were, in 2001 imposing regime change. What has the Afghan war achieved? They are the 2nd most corrupt country on earth, just after Somalia, a country which doesn't even have a government in most parts of the country. They remain one of the poorest countries on the face of this earth, despite billions having been invested/disappeared there. Thousands of Afghan civilians dead and livelihoods destroyed, did any of them hijack planes and fly them into anything?


Moron watch --->> To add insult to injury they have idiots like Ross Kemp (in Ross Kemp in Afghanistan) saying to them  that they should be grateful that we went in and rescued them from the villainous Taliban (when we didn't care before 9/11) and imposed democracy.


Then we have Iraq, one of the most disastrous wars of our era, obliterating the most ancient city in the world and creating sectarian strife which reverberated all over the Arab world. Putting aside the folly that was WMDs, Britain had everything to lose and nothing to gain from again, imposing regime change in a country that has nothing to do with us. Our foreign policies have many faults but it is my utmost belief that 7/7 would never have occurred had we not gone into yet another catastrophic war in Muslim lands. When Wikileaks exposed the devastating abuses of war that have happened, on top of what was already public knowledge e.g. Haditha, Abu Ghraib, the rape of a 14 year-old girl and then assassination of her, her 5-year-old sister and parents by US soldiers to name but a few, the things that made the news were the embarrassing diplomatic conversations, not the war crimes. Did any government even suffer for the war crimes committed under their watch? Did any of their children die? No. The only people apparently suffering judicially from exposing the people that are meant to be serving US are Bradley Manning and Julian Assange.


Moron watch --->> To add insult to injury, there was one American politician allowed to guest on Question Time claiming that the Arab revolutionaries would not have been inspired to revolt had Iraq not had the blessing of democracy imposed on them.


Next on George W. Bush's hitlist/axis of evil - Iran; the country ahead of its time in rejecting Western imperialism and corruption of their country. Do people not realise this is why America hates Iran? When I went to open a business account recently, what were the countries we were banned from trading with? North Korea, Cuba, Iran and Syria. Cuba - a harmless Caribbean country who had a revolution over 50 years ago, ejecting Batista and his American supported corruption. Syria, another non-Western puppet, funny that there are so many countries on the same level or worse as these countries yet conveniently, it is the countries that reject Western political influence that have sanctions imposed on them. A billboard I saw in New York ->>

We were quick to bomb Libya even though 2 minutes ago we were shaking hands with Gaddafi, all because Gaddafi was 'suddenly' going after civilians, so we bombed the civilians ourselves, going above and beyond the UN mandate of a no-fly zone and taking sides thus ensuring the political gains of the 'National Transitional Council'. Is that another regime change I sniff? Still it was the best PR war, we even had the privilege/puke-fest of a hall of Libyans apparently fawning over Cameron and Sarkozy. The media coverage of that war has a nice rosy tint despite there being protests at the new government already.

In my sister's access to business class in college, the class was assigned an essay on the Arab Spring and the role of women, most of her classmates lamented this subject, it dared to stretch their horizons beyond their X-Boxes and X-Factors*. Due to this essay alone, many dropped out and/or failed the course, they did not even WANT to research what was going on in the world, one even remarked that he could not care less if all these Arabs all blew themselves up. 

Even though the average British person may not give a tiny piece of bird shit about Arabs/the Middle East/North Africa/Muslims, you only have to look at our foreign minister's twitter @WilliamJHague to see that our politicians are absolutely obsessed with all things Middle East! But of course it's not just a one-way street, when a corruption investigation was launched into Saudi weapons dealing they blackmailed us not to go any further, lest they pull out of their anti-terrorism initiatives. Remember the reason we went into Afghanistan? Yet all but one of the 9/11 hijackers were actually Saudi.

I say in 2012 our foreign policy should reflect the will of the British people, just as Cameron defied all logic to pander to the anti-EU brigade of Britain, which is the majority of the country to be fair, perhaps we should keep our beak and money out of the Middle East. At least that's one thing I can agree with the right-wingers on.

An open letter to William Hague

Dear Mr Hague

I am born and raised in Britain, I like to have a good moan and all the rest of it but (cliche time) at the end of the day I love my country. Not in an overtly patriotic way because I'm English and frankly we find that embarrassing.

Every country has its problems but we have a lot to be grateful for, the pinnacle of true justice; relative freedom and democracy. Although I bear no grudges against the Queen, and I don't normally make a habit of abusing pensioners, I am glad I am able to say fuck the queen! Without being imprisoned for 20 years (*cough cough* Thailand).

The NHS isn't perfect but even if we are living on the breadline we do not have to necessarily worry about becoming ill because seeing the doctor is free bitches! I have been on forums in the US and the fact that they are on a forum consulting strangers on the net about the state of their health because they cannot afford to see the doctor or buy health insurance is thankfully an alien concept in Britain.

We don't have a reputation for being the friendliest but once you do have a chin wag with most people one on one, you find that most people are good people.

I am even grateful for our legendary 'terrible' weather, bear with me for a second! This year especially, has seen so many devastating natural disasters around the world, and even though our summers last about 2 weeks long and are in the wrong month we should be grateful that, touch wood, we rarely if ever experience truly terrible natural disasters.

We may also have sections of subtle and not so subtle bias media. But it is generally free and compared with other countries 'news' stations like Bahrain, North Korea and even America's revolting Fox News, dare I say it, I am even glad to have the ignorant and hateful rantings of The Sun.

Our strange hybrid government is still nowhere near as bad as some other European countries where the far right parties are deemed credible enough to have seats in Parliament.

I am grateful that when you fall on hard times that there is help such as job seekers allowance and hostels for vulnerable people. There is a lot of things to be grateful for in Britain, and although I will always speak out against something I perceive as wrong, I do heart my country.

My questions are; why are we joining in on the I hate Iran brigade? Or whoever is politically convenient at the time or whoever is not a Western puppet? We are putting sanctions against a country thousands of miles away that has nothing to do with us, we make their people suffer and then you are outraged that the Iranian people storm our embassy? We engage in hypocrisy in the Middle East and now they don't like us? NO SHIT SHERLOCK, you are lucky storming our embassy is all they've done.

Surely we the British people are more important than the US and whatever Pro-Israel lobby you are trying to appease? Your behaviour just conforms to the old adage of imperialistic behaviour. The worst ex-colonialists; the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, have left their colonial pasts back in the ashamed past where they should be, I think it's high time we did too. Everyone can see through the spin and you do not care about any civilian in the Middle East so save us the bullshit and keep your beaks out of their nuclear plants. They say whoever does not know history is doomed to repeat it. Surely your private school education taught you a bit of history? So why are you repeating it?!

We are not the centre of the world, neither are we America. Even though we have foolishly followed them on every foreign escapade, we've still somehow managed to not be as hated as our American counterparts. So my undying question is Mr Hague, if you love this country as much as I do, why are you trying so hard for us to be hated?

Eagerly awaiting your honest reply,


N.E.E.T.

Topless Fighters versus The Arab League

 ... They could not be a bigger juxtaposition but yet I don't know who is the bigger joke. This group of Ukranian women, protest topless to fight against prostitution and sex tourism. There is only a few of them but they have unsurprisingly gained a lot of media coverage. OK fair enough if you want to protest but protesting against female sexual exploitation by becoming the epitome of exploitation? They proclaim to be 'neo-feminists; their explanation has been that,

 "We're different from classic feminists. In order to gain a voice, they had to become like men. But we want a real women's revolution. Our naked protests are part of the fight for women's liberation. We have the right to use our bodies as weapons. It was men who made breasts into a secret."


I do not wish to give them any more publicity actually, but they have said something which has just pissed me right off. They want to take their 'message' to other countries, they have already done so in Italy in front of the pope. Not content with appearing half naked in front of the Catholic Church, they also hope to spread their 'message' i.e. protesting topless, to Muslim countries, including Iran, fully knowing the possible consequences of their actions. I was not bothered by them until they spouted this kind of patronising  superiority, making my eyes roll, nonsense. Speaking of the Muslim world that they speak of, there is so much wrong with what's happening at the moment the last thing that would be needed, if ever, is European topless women running the streets.

Then there is the Arab league, I had not even heard of these clowns until Britain, France and the US wanted to bomb Libya. They were the go to guys for the government to reference on Question Time et al in order to back up the decision to intervene/bomb the shit out of Libya. 'Well if the Arabs want us to bomb Libya it must be the right decision' Err the most disastrous decisions in the Middle East have been caused by despots condoning the bombing of their fellow Middle Easterns, have we already forgotten Iraq v Kuwait and Iraq v Iran. Both Western proxy wars backed by donkeys such as Mubarak and the Saudi regime.

The Arab League - let's review their decision making over the past year - Let's go into Libya. The Libyans themselves apparently asked for it, but they wanted a NO FLY ZONE, and instead got Britain, France, the US and NATO to specifically destroy Gaddafi targets thus ensuring a successful coup, plus a few civilians here and there. But what's a little civilian blood to secure some business interests and get rid of a loopy guy who you never really liked anyway.

Letting the Gulf states go into Bahrain with mercenaries in tow, to quash the Bahraini uprisings, where the authorities here killed at least 40 entirely peaceful protesters, threatened to rape school girls who participated in protests, destroyed Shia mosques, injured many people, imprisoned and tortured the doctors, dentists and nurses who were tending to the injured. Even when a report came out from Bahrain itself exposing some of their activities and absolving Iran of any involvement, the royal regime still claimed Iran was behind the protests.

Cringeingly pandering to Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh, giving him four different tailor-made agreements to step down whilst ensuring he receives immunity from prosecution, despite months of unrest and many being mercilessly killed by his unapologetic forces.

Now the Western puppets are going to impose economic sanctions on Syria for not complying with their demands to stop killing protesters. It's as if they are eating Starburst, and are not eating the orange ones cos they're the ones that taste a bit crap.

Yet silence when it comes to Palestine, (cue barrel of hay rolling past) remember them? They have been tirelessly resisting their overt degradation, the theft of their land and the murder of their children for decades. Even with all their oil, money, protests good and bad, a sudden interest in protecting civilians of other countries, nothing has changed at the top.
