Christmas double-speak for the masses

Let’s start with a couple of whoppers so the moronic masses are able to comprehend. First we have the former Yugoslavia and the show trial of its leader Slobodan Milosevic – now deceased. I’m sure we remember the Hague war crimes tribunal and accusations that Milosevic was responsible for thousands of civilian deaths. This was to be NATO’s and America’s justification for reducing a single nation to a number of fractured, tiny, POWERLESS ‘states,’ which have since been subsumed by Western Europe – that wasn’t the plan, was it?

George Orwell

The Hague trial was based on the war crime of killing innocent civilians. Would anyone care to address the civilian death toll in Iraq? Latest estimates range from 800,000 to 1.1 million souls; an astronomical figure, a toll that exceeds the count of Saddam and Milsosevic combined, notwithstanding Milosevic conveniently died before a final determination of guilt or innocence could be made. But that’s not the point is it? Those directly responsible for the deaths in Iraq, Blair, Bush and Howard have not been apprehended for crimes that dwarf the efforts of Milosevic and Saddam!

Let’s not forget that the coalition of willing criminals flouted international law and disregarded UN reports clearly stating that Saddam had no WMD; however, truth is always unwelcome wherever criminals ply their nefarious trade.

Iraq today is a scene from hell but remember we are spreading ‘freedom/occupation, liberty/death and democracy/plunder’ whether the unfortunate Iraqis like our double-speak or not. What’s a million dead civilians anyway? We control the courts and public opinion – we kill and plunder with impunity and make no secret of the fact. Who would arrest us and place us on trial, you?

Inverted logic is common when criminals seek strategic territory. Kosovo is a legal province of a REAL State, ratified by international law and convention. However, murdering coalition forces once again flout law and convention and seek to separate Kosovo from Serbia. Following is a comparison guaranteed to challenge Lewis Caroll’s imagination!

The nation of Israel -- a product of narrative fiction -- has recently become a reality though its continued existence is under threat – myth and narrative fiction may not be able to sustain its existence much longer. Only two nations at present vie for the title of first to be nuked, are you able to guess, hint please! These two nations are also the most reviled nations on the planet!

Convolutions and double standards abound when the Balkan situation is compared to Israel’s existence.

The cherry on this mad cake is supplied courtesy of the previous US ambassador to Australia who quite accurately stated that the masses disregard all awkward realities and forget any incriminating information in a matter of weeks.

In view of that reality, the enemy is YOU!
