the art of the innocent snub

 Subtitle: down with all warmongering liars!

Hands-up, all those who think that GWBush is a knight in shining armour, bringing truth and justice to Iraq, say?

Hmmm, not too many. Then, hands-up, all those who think the (oxymoronic!)IDF is doing the same to (ex-)Palestine?

It's called 'transparency;' in fact, the lack thereof. The 'jig' is up, boys (and ladies; Clinton & Pelosi, say): we see what you are doing, USrael, and we DO NOT APPROVE.

Part of the propaganda-BS that the kleptocrats'[1] corrupt politicians, Madison Ave, Hollywood and M-W's "Israel Lobby" (plus their insidious apologists) all push via the supine/venal MSM is that the US and Israeli 'democracies' take precedence, and that Israel is the only democracy in the middle-East. Well, I put quotes around 'democracies' since there appear to be at least three prerequisites missing; a properly educated and engaged constituency, full and free information flows, and a valid choice of policies/candidates.

Hands-up, all those who think that anything major would change, if the current US and Israeli regimes were replaced by those run by their nearest opposition parties?

See? To spell it out, these two self-proclaimed democracies just ain't (not properly functioning democracies, that is, although they're not alone in this), so any alleged 'precedence' on democratic grounds evaporates. What about "The Rule of Law?" Also moot tending to nonsensical; the establishment of Israel can be viewed with extreme suspicion (as a misuse of the UN), and the fact that Israel ignores/violates so many UN resolutions forms the contradiction: one simply cannot claim UN authority when one continuously flies in the face of it. Then Iraq; the US (plus UK, Aus) illegal invasion morphed into brutal occupation thereof, rendition, torture, Abu Ghraib etc. As if that all wasn't enough, consider the illegal wire-taps in the US - too much to list here, but all pointing in one direction: the Rule of Law is breaking/has broken down.

Well, so what? Simply this: they won't stop unless stopped. Since we can't match their physical force ("Might is neither right nor wrong; it just works mate...") we need a different way to curb these filthy swine. Yelling "Shame!" won't do it either (but we must); we've got to hit them where it really hurts: in their wallets (US 'pocketbooks;' spit!) Sooo, boycott. Cut them off - in the shops, no more US brands; otherwise known as the art of the innocent snub.

[1] kleptocrats

«A kleptocracy (sometimes cleptocracy) (root: klepto+kratein = rule by thieves) is a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the population. A kleptocratic government often goes beyond merely awarding the prime contracts and civil service posts to friends (A common feature of corrupt governments). They also create projects and programs at a policy level which serve the primary purpose of funnelling money out of the treasury and into the pockets of the executive with little if any regard for the logic, viability or necessity of those projects.»
