"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance - It's the illusion of knowledge"




Last night on the Danish news; I realized that NYT had published a photo of three dead Palestinian babies. And apparently this is one of the first photos depicting the horrors happening in Gaza? The atrocities are happening right now - at this very minute - even if you read this between 12:00 -15:00 - the daily three hours supposed lull in the current and for Israel, so very counterproductive war on Gaza!  
Well; This particular photo had provoked a lot response (and now I can't find it!) 

-I wonder if the land of the brave and the free, really are kept in the dark about most things, happening out here in the real world... And maybe, this is the reason for much of their so-called (By us Europeans - Just tag Dumb Americans-YouTube about this subject) ignorance and the fact that only 7% of Americans posses a passport? That the their precious Democratic system, they would like to see implemented all over the world, specially in "backwards" places like Afghanistan and Iraq is maybe flawed? That the amount of money you have or are able to amass is equal to the power you can excess over the media and the information being spread to the people? That the various, powerful lobbyist groups can push the truth, not only in foreign matters, but also in environmental issues in your own country. And are therefore able to keep not only you, the people but also the legislators in total ignorance as to what the truth really looks like? Ah, well - I suppose this is not news to anyone but me, and even I had been suspecting it for years!

 But after seeing this Video/documentary about the origins of the Palestinian fate and the Israeli occupation from 1947 til present ; Made by Israeli Human rights and American Jews for Peace, interviewing Noam Chomsky and UN's Richard Falk amongst many others.... - I can  
 now clearly see how, the Americans can live happily ever after, without knowing anything at all about the world! -Same goes for the Australians ?

This poses yet another question; How can the US Gov. send young men and women out to war and expect them to willingly give their lives for something, of which they have never been educated or informed about? It's like sending a large group of blind and deaf people to cross the New Jersey turnpike at peak hours - some of them are bound to get hit.








I have now received several written threats and demands for proof of my "accusations" against Israel. +  a few negative comments on the posts about the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank - Some of these "comments" are hilarious, some are a bit weird and some are scary!
The only common denominator is the Anonymity of the sender, which shows me that aggressors like to stay cowardly unnamed and in the shadows... 
I'll will not publish any anonymous comments; positive or negative!
 Oh and by the way; my answer is; 
See the video embedded above!! 

(psst... It's an hour long, proper documentary 
and maybe more comfy to watch on Google video?)


PS As an answer to the one commenter, who protests to my consistently coloring the letters red; But this is on purpose, you see! - Different shades of red = Blood 
- and then only on posts about the Gaza invasion.
Gee... You must have a lot of time on your hands! Go read someone elses Blog, why don't you!- The Internet is crammed with bloggers with views to fit any kind of outlook! - And it's not like I have magical powers and tie you up in front of your screen and make you read mine! (Would be nice though, I am one of those, who'll check my site traffic daily, just to get the ego kick of the day! c",)

Love is never having to say; Sorry !





I'm soooooo sorry, so very sorry, so sorry, so very, very sorry, so absofuckinlutly sorrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy!!!!
Hvor patetisk kan megalomanisk ambition blive?
Måske ville nu være et godt tidpunkt og mere humant? At smide alle fire poter i vejret og gi' op?

Barack Obama er i USA, udsat for en vedvarende smædekampagne; Det siges; at han ikke kan nationalhymnen, ikke vil sværge med hånden på bibelen og holder fast ved sin muslimske tro...!?! ( Obama er så kristen, but never mind...)

Er det ikke  tankevækkende, at man ligefrem kan blive "anklaget" for at være muslim? At det er bagtalelse, at få tildelt en anden religion end sin egen? At mediernes og magthavernes intense islam forfølgelse og frygtbaseret antimuslimske indsats i dén grad har båret frugt! 
Der eksisterer også terrorister som er kommunister, kristne, hinduer, jøder, ateister, you name it !
 
At der er en reel trussel i Taleban's middelalderlige moralkodeks og religiøse fanatisme, nu med økonomisk støtte bl.a fra analfabetiske opiumsbønder i Afghanistans bjerge, skal ikke tages let. Og at trusslen er global skal heller ikke negligeres ! 
Men at denne i vesten, vedvarende hetz imod islam og muslimer, skaber flere antidemokratiske celler end den nedbryder, kan ses ved f.eks; at alle de involverede i London bomberne, 2005: var unge, veluddannede, 3. - 4. generations pakistanske mænd.

 Vi har tidligere haft en dyb frygt for kommunister,asiater, farvede, atom/koldkrig ..... Hvad  bliver det i næste dekade eller århundrede ?? 
Uden at forklejne de mange ofre og lidelser ved div. terror aktioner - så ku' det næste, måske blive de overvægtige, dem der stadig ryger og'e........?

Der er masser af troværdige kilder på nettet med artikler skrevet af mennesker med højere IQ og bredere klarsyn end jeg! - Proffesor Noam Chomsky er et godt sted at begynde!
