What happens when you earliest preconceptions are shattered, when having lived a life full-of-fear, suddenly you approach something quite unexpectedly absurd or meaningless. So absurd that you have to wrack your brains as to its meaning, like a puzzle, conundrum or mystery.
Fear is the surest of human instincts, but if you are afraid of something that is not real and try to spread that fear, then over-time you will be seen to be a laughing-stock. The story from Aesop’s fable about the boy who cried world is apt in the case of doom-mongering politicians who have been claiming to have prescience (like weather forecasters) for decades of ‘The reality is…’. These ‘reality is…’ politicians may be able to forecast five-days ahead, but that’s proved to be useless, except in preserving their career from an aggressive media that can destroy political careers with one front-page slur.
As a writer, I have recently experienced what it is like to temporarily have to steer a local community in a certain direction (community neighborhood watch). A bit like a statesman, I suppose, but I’m not cut-out for doing this anymore and aim to loaf around for a while. Sometimes life isn’t about following a fixed rule-book or getting every footprint right, sometimes you can relax and not worry about mistakes.
The whote thing doesn’t concern yo uanyway, as has been proven to me time-and-time again. It’s just that others, who feel powerless, wonder how the guy stays so calm. I’m fairly non-plussed by the gradual grinding to a halt of the UK economy and except there will be a crash soon like BCCI, but then again – what do I know about economic forecasts that is not my specialism… What troubles me is when people make a claim to expert knowledge when they have not done the prerequisite studying.
For 1ten years I studied physics primarily and for another ten years I studied psychology. This has been the principal focus of my work and I have had little or no time for a relationship, considered sex, or seriously contemplated making decisions for a family. My life is gradually entering a new phase. Although there is clearly a divergence between me and those afflicted by the WHO’s wrong diagnosis over Corona, I believe that time heals all wounds, and laughter is the best medicine.
Overall, i have come to a singular conclusion. That we are living life too fast. We need to slow-down drastically and learn to walk around slowly like an amble. The pace of the River Lorenzo of Tanbin City, you gotta slow down, pal… You’ve just got to SLOW DOWN or you’re going to end-up panicking. i used to attend Church intensively on Sundays to really adjust my tempo through prayer (allowing myself to be fully-subjected to nature in a process similar to meditation). i’m no pendant and have the freedom to wonder about the bug questions in a church environment, sometimes to my enormous surprise.
Suffice-to-say, a few months ago i went by myself to the Langton chapel in Barnis and prayed as i used to regularly (have now moved away from the locality). i hope that my deep thoughts would produce a new path to contentment, but all i ended up with was musings about velcro. Yes, velcro… As it turns out it’s not Star Trek, but Velcro Trek, since it appears that the creators of Star Trek fraudulently appropriated Velcro etc. for one of their episode. So Star Trek is totally wrong, except the episode when Greedo from Star Wars cleans out the entire space-crew of the enterprise playing Texas hold ’em…
VELCRO: you wouldn’t believe it… But that is some root technics going on…
“You can never beat a broken drum…” – Greedo, Star Wars poker legend…
Greedo: Jean-Luc Picard just picked the wrong cards… Poker-face? I’m tutoring Galactus…Picard: I’m just not in that man Greedo’s league… The guy’s a galactic poker legend. Seriously…
COMRADE BALA WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND MINDING HIS OWN BUSINESS
This is an image from what looks like the 1980s of Aravindan Balakrishnan or Comrade Bala, a radical Indian Maoist leader, who had split from the Communist Party of England (Marxist-Leninism). He was jailed for a number of alleged crimes, but the hatred that the media has levelled at him is an absolute disgrace. Firstly, they do not understand the context of the revolutionary struggle of the Indian masses against the centuries old yoke of British colonialism. Some people say that the British Empire brought good and bad to India, but if you look at the degraded state of that great nation today, you can see that the British Empire contributed absolutely nothing to the country, moreover, the British were responsible for the most terrible atrocities of 20th Century as well as partition, an unforgiveable crime, where the UK Establishment began to play God with the lives of millions of ordinary Indian people. Despite the accusation levelled at Comrade Bala, we have to see what happened in the context of the gross injustices, the absolutely horrific crimes that have been perpetrated against the Indians. Even today, the new Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi is looking for a way to make India as great a success as China and the revolutionary theoretical line of Comrade Bala will put the likes of steel giants Tata and Mittal in their place.

COLLAPSING: BRITISH MILITARY INTELLIGENCE (MI5/MI6/GCHQ) FACES AN AWFUL ICARIAN FALL, FURTHER TRAPPED IN A HELLISH MAZE OF THEIR OWN MAKING
There was a time, during the Second World War, when British military intelligence (MI5/MI6/GCHQ) was leading the way in the confrontation with the scourge of fascism. The history of these organs of the UK government began with the Weimar republic and World War I, when the Keiser’s ambitions in Europe began enrouch on those of the British Empire that in the 19th Century represented the foremost power in the world.
Since then, and also the heady victorious days of Alan Turing’s Bletchley Park project, British intelligence has been terminal decline. The Enigma code-breaking machine developed by Turing and his team, enabled them to break enemy codes and facilitate the Allies victory in Europe. As Stalin himself acknowledge, the victory in the Second World War was due to “American production, British brains, and Russian blood”.
The Cold War, however, and the formal constitution of the KGB into a worthy-competitor and adversary of British SIS (Secret Intelligence Services) and the American CIA (Central Intelligence Bureau), began to see a reversal in the balance of intelligence. When was the turning point? When did the KGB overtake the UK/US as the most powerful intelligence organisation in the world? When did British brains go over to the ‘other-side’, turning the tables on the previous situation?
Before the Cambridge-Five, the defections of Guy Burgess and others, there was a moment of, quite literally, stupidity at the highest level – born of arrogant pride – when during the Potsdam Conference, President Harry S. Truman, confided to the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, that the USA had developed a “new weapon of unusual destructive force”. Whether or not the USSR knew about the extent of the Manhattan project, this was tantamount to the surrender of intelligence to what the USA still recognized as a communist adversary.
The notion of an alliance is simply not enough grounds to leak intelligence at that level. Though not out-and-out enemies at that stage, the USA and the USSR were ideological opposed to the point of enmity. The USSR had called for the outright defeat and destruction of the capitalist money-making machine that the USA represented, so for the American President to mention the new ‘terrible’ weapon must have been an error in judgment.
Did Truman imagine that some sort of post-war racial commonality would pave the way for a lasting truce? Well, there is no doubt that Churchill would have stood in his way, if he even imagined such a thing. Why then the leak? Clearly, there was a unknown factor as to the murky origins of the Manhattan project and the direction it was a heading in. The fact is that the root of Manhattan was not American, but German, as this letter from the jewish scientists Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard proves.
The Einstein-Szllard letter to Roosevelt shows us these traitorous ‘scientists’ intended to A-bomb “a port”, hinting at Hamburg in northern Germany.
The entire Manhattan project seems then to have fallen out-of-control, the British and Americans knew very little about its origins in the evil minds of these two cowards, posturing as scientists and stealing the knowledge of German physicists for their demonic intention of dropping the A-bomb on Hamburg of-all-places, the country that had fed, clothed and educated them to a high-level. These war criminals, founding-fathers of the Israeli occupation, tragically incepted the weakling Roosevelt with their idea, only later to find their plans had fallen monstrously to the wayside.
The cultural degeneration of the West after WWII as diagnosed by the intellectuals of the socialist Frankfurt School (Benjamin, Adorno, Lukacs and others) lead to a steady stream of intellectuals to side with socialism. Although there appeared to a be a brain-drain to the West, in truth, few intelligent people thought it morally acceptable to work for SIS or the CIA, since the absolutely bestial bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, completely unwarranted, were suggestive of a moral void at the heart of Western political policy-making. Most smart people were opposed to Vietnam, and even today, intellectuals in the West such as Noam Chomsky and the late Slavoj Zizek know the unspeakable evil and devilish pride that lurks in the corridors of Western power. Since Iraq, the British government has lost the trust of its own populace and their plans to invade Iran have been scuppered by singular and final defeat in Syria.
The process of folding-up and clearing-out the last vestiges of imagined power in Western governmental centres is easier-said-than-done. Hiding themselves like sewer rats (let’s give rats the credit of intelligence they are due) behind computer-screens and smartphones, they still imagine they harbour some hope of a renewed victorious alliance. Not a chance, although Vladimir Putin continues to extend the hand of friendship to anyone who accedes to a rational worldview, the apparatus of Russian governance is highly complex and to achieve a total consensus on new arms-control conventions is out-of-the-question. In other words, the Russian military is always poised to terminate the West, along with China and North Korea, with whom the former CIS maintains fraternal relations. Add to this, Iran and the Persian counter-perspective to Western imperialism and you end-up with a simple formulation.
The British and American government have been dissolved and all that remains are pockets of radical perverts, committing as-yet-unknown atrocities (like the Bin Laden terrorists they have sponsored in Afghanistan) against their own people, who want rid of them! Barely conscious due to the depravity of their hidden-crimes, much of which have been already documented (secret upper-echelons of power paedophile rings), these eternally damned reprobates have hold themselves up behind technology.
This is now a war of humanity against the last-vestiges of a demonically damned evil, who are few in number (perhaps only 1000 in the UK and ten-times that number in the USA). How to uproot and lever them all out with a crowbar, this is the challenge, for the crimes they have committed cannot be hidden, given their scale. Like the suicide-bombers they programmed and spread like a disease to cause mayhem, their time is running out and soon these walking time-bombs will self-destruct and be wiped from the page of history. God is not on their side and the devil has been sought out and exposed. They have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, they face eternal doomage!
HARRY STRUMAN AND HIS SUPPORTERS IN THE WEST ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF UP TO HALF-A-MILLION TOTALLY INNOCENT JAPANESE CIVILIANS, MANY OF WHOM DIED FROM BIRTH-DEFECTS AND CANCER. THE TRUE FIGURE OF DEATHS DUE TO CANCER IN THE JAPANESE POPULATION COULD SUM-TOTAL IN THE MILLIONS OF, AGAIN, COMPLETELY INNOCENT PEOPLE. THIS IS THE ATROCIOUS LEGACY OF WESTERN CAPITALISM, MANY OF WHOSE ADVOCATES STILL OCCUPY THE CORRIDORS OF WEALTH, POWER AND DOMINATION. THEIR DESTINY NOW IS TO PASS INTO A FIERY-HELL OF THEIR OWN MAKING!
SOON AFTER RELEASE, MADIBA, SUPPOSED AFRICA’S LIBERATOR, DECLARES AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI OF IRAN (A NON-AFRICAN COUNTRY) TO BE HIS ‘LEADER’
Early in the 1980s, global liberation movements were highlighted in places like Iran and South Africa. In fact, these two nations were the leading components in a new awakening against the self-declared ‘evil empire’ of the United States.
How is it then, that Nelson Mandela supported the revolutionary Iranian government, whilst the West condemned the Iranians and championed South Africa’s ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ committee? This video posted above, represents the riddle of our age.
The degree of hypocrisy borders on insanity. Many know that Mandela was a paid-up agent of British Intelligence (MI6), who threatened to kill him in prison, if he did not kowtow with Western wishes for peace and racial equality. Then again, when Mandela submits to Iranian leadership of third-world emancipation (as proven in this video), how on earth can the West (British and American) governments continue to obstruct the demand of the people of Iran for self-determination!
Clearly, there is an element of cognitive dissonance here. The moment Ayatollah and ANC leader meet and exchange greetings, the moment that South Africa recognises Iranian leadership in the fight against the Imperialist hegemony, this is the moment that it becomes clear that the West has lost its mind and credibility. This is moment that the anti-Western governments have to realise that the problem is that the West is beginning to collapse under the weight of greed. Capitalism is a disease of the mind!
This video – whichever way you look at it – makes the cause of Western capitalistic liberal democracy the stuff of lunacy, insanity and detachment from reality. We now have millions of ordinary, hard-working people in nations such as England and the United States, held captive by madmen, real demons, devoid of human compassion and reasoning. Today, they have lost their grip on reality and cling to every word we have to offer, but yet – still – fail even to realign themselves, because they went too far!
They are the authors of their own demise with the madness of the War on Terror and now they – Western governments – are desperate for some sort of solution, some olive-branch of friendship, threatening their imaginary war, which is a non-starter, since Syria has defeated their lunatic allies ‘ISIS’ (a group who don’t even know what to call themselves). The year is 2020 and we just don’t care to save them! To my mind, the idea of keeping some of them in a zoo might serve educational purposes…
Not that we’d ever want to save them, because we are embarking on a Kulturkrieg (cultural war) of our own, a war on their legacy of degeneration. We now have to clear-up the mess they have left behind, as the governments of the West collapse, and their detritus fills the streets of Europe and America to the brim. From a Cold War, we adjust ourselves to the Second Cod War (because we have more in common with fish that these nutters!). They cling-on like mind parasites, these genetic defectives!
So, realistically-speaking, who is the enemy? The damage they have caused needs to be dealt with, so the enemy becomes the enemy within. Since the industrial revolution, these capitalist scumbags have drained the life-force from us (and still do!). Through our industry, military might, we will turn-the-clock-back in a sense and wipe the floor with them. That is the nature of our war, something intangible for them, almost imaginary! For 20 years, they have played with our minds with lying! Now we know!
The public intellectual rises once again on the front-line. This is a smart war, not one for the fainthearted as we attempt to survive this evolutionary bottleneck. We will be merciless, relentless and ruthless, because we have historically documented what they have have perpetrated. They will never know the nature of our war, because it is real and they find themselves, as a result of their own misadventure, in a place of fear!
Since my last blog-post in 2007, that’s 13 years ago, much has changed around the world. At that time, the US and Iran faced a showdown. The US Neocon bluff against the Persians, who never bluff! The stakes were over Turkey and its NATO membership and the United States had overloaded the propaganda with the movie ‘300’! The USA wanted all-out warfare with sanctions provocation. Iran wasn’t having it. Clearly a bluff, a ploy to trip Iran over false borders drawn on a colonialist map. Iran stayed put.
The reason? The downing of an Iran Air flight by the USS Vincennes in the 1980s. The Iranians know that threats are a violent initiative and if you have the initiative it carries through. So what were the Iranians waiting for? Well, the Mahdi… The divinely promised one to purge Islam of all faults. The Americans would continue provocations to this very day, despite the failure and backfiring of a Tweeted threat by Donald Trump against North Korea only a few years ago.
To cut a long story short: the United States has been Barack O’Bluffin’, nobody outside of the Western World was convinced that Barack Obama was really American, because quite clearly, he’s African, even if Barack X is a crypto-brother Malcolm…
THE DEFINITION OF A BLUFF: HOW BARACK OBAMA BECAME MALCOLM X
The US has unsurprisingly flown in the face of world and internal opinion to unilaterally impose sanctions on Iran. Both China and Russia have opposed the move, which is seen to be divisive at home and abroad.
The sanctions, described as “tough” are targetted at the Revolutionary Guard, via a network of banks and businesses.
A predictable move in this grand chessboard: the Iranians have responded by saying they are ready for war, but such bellicose rhetoric on both sides belies the reality. Sanctions will have even less effect on Iran than they did on Iraq. Unlike Saddam’s regime Iran has strong trading partners in a resurgent China and also Russia. They don’t actually need the US to sell their oil.
George Bush is a lame duck president. The US has had several windows of opportunity to attack Iran, in March earlier this year and in August. On both occasions they threatened without doing anything. In August coincidentally a B52 laden with nuclear bombs was on its way to Iran – before the US realised the Israeli mission to Syria – trial run for an attack on Iran – had miserably failed (the planes droped their munitions).
What we’re seeing is rhetoric, the old neocon bluff to divert attention from Iraq and Afghanistan, where the battles have been ostensibly lost. It doesn’t make war any more likely – in this commentators view, by releasing political pressure on military action, it makes war less likely.
Although his resignation had been on the cards (it is not a ‘surprise’ as the mainstream media have contended), the exit of top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani confirms that the Ahmadinejad government is no longer interested in negotiating over the nuclear issue.
Larijani had been in frequent negotiations with the EU – the fact that he’s has been effectively removed shows that Ahmadinejad is serious when he says that the Iran’s nuclear issue is now closed.
Indeed, as far as the IAEA is concerned, there is very little basis for continued negotiations from Ahmadineajd’s point of view. The IAEA have repeatedly affirmed that there is no evidence for an Iranian weapons programme. In addition, the supportive visit of Vladimir Putin, will have boosted Ahmadinejad’s point of view.
All-in-all, the effective dismissal of Larijani has been timed to send a message out to the West that Iran will not compromise at all on its nuclear programme.
As far as Iran is concerned, the lines have been drawn and the nuclear issue is off the negotiating table.
p.s. The smart move from the West would now be to get Larijani to defect. Although he is a religious conservative, he is an expert in Western philosophy, and as an intellectual is likely to be quickly disenfranchised if the leadership reject him.
In a surprisingly jingoistic use (or abuse) of the English language, George Bush has threatened the world with War, if Iran does not give up its nuclear programme – a programme which does not exist.
Speaking hours after Putin had met with Ahmadinejad, the wily Texan said,”So I’ve told people that, if you’re interested in avoiding World War Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”
For a head of state to make such a loose and fast reference to a potential catastrophe is nothing less than depraved. Having dodged service himself during the Vietnam war, Bush is the last person to be speculating on a third world war.
Then again, in the world of international Texas hold ’em politics, weak is strong, and as this blogger has contended, Bush is showing strong because he is holding a very weak hand.
Putin attending summit of Caspian Sea nations in Tehran
Two weeks ago I reported that President Putin’s visit to Iran would act as a significant blow to the Neocons and Bush’s war machine. Today, despite dubious reports of a potential assassination attempt, President Putin became the first major world leader to visit Iran. For the likes of Khamenei and Ahmadinejad, this will represent a ringing endorsement of their Islamic Revolution. They will be hoping that they can now bank on Russian support at the next round of the Security Council sanctions vote later in the year. But such will be their pleasure at receiving this powerful guest that they may not dwell upon the real reasons behind Putin’s visit.
Russia has a significant interest in controlling the resources and access to markets in Central Asia and the Caspian. Russia has fought wars in Afghanistan and later Chechnya to ensure that it retains power in the region – even at the cost of decimation. With several countries in the region already hosting US military bases, Putin is determined, perhaps with the aid of Iran to limit US influence in these states as far as possible. That is why the five nations at the Caspian Sea summit have agreed not to allow their respective territories to be used for an attack on each other.
Although Russia partly fears expanding Persian influence in these Central Asian states, the move from Putin is primarily aimed limiting US expanding influence (demonstrated by the Eastern expansion of NATO, which has humiliated the Russians).
Perhaps the meeting seems to underscore the old maxim, “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. Who knows. Frankly, I’m surprised at Putin’s audicity.
In addition, by closing ranks with Iran over Central Asia, Putin may have just put the diplomatic route to a resolution of the Iran’s conflict with the West out of reach. For Bush, his promise to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue by the end of his presidency might just have to be broken; the presence of Putin in Iran is a massive snub and a humiliating failure on the part of Bush to read Putin’s intentions.
The very thought of a US attack on Russian-built nuclear reactors in Iran is now beyond all reckoning.
Her rivel, Barach Obama, attacks Hillary Clinton for voting to designate Iranian Revolutionary Guards as ‘terrorists’
At the same time, Clinton has called for talks with Iran, with no preconditions
The Iran issue has become a political hot potato with the Democrat nominees for the presidency. In the last few days the frontrunners, Obama and Clinton, have been jostling to get their policies heard.
In the space of two weeks, Hillary Clinton, favourite for the Democratic nomination and US Presidency has effectively said she’s happy to sit and talk with ‘terrorists’. Having voted two weeks ago to designate the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) as a terrorist entity, she has also promised to talk directly to the Iranian government if elected.
The IRGC are an integral part of the Iranian government – they have political and economic influence, acting as the right arm of the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad himself was a former member.
So in other words, Clinton would give the green-light to open negotiations with ‘terrorists’; a notion that would be unacceptable to the US public. No wonder Obama has criticised her apparent ‘flip-flopping’.
