As usually i not only get censored but i also try to find out why and where i am censored. Its confusing. I send a test message at alJ on a subject that i had definetly been disallowed to post to them to. (by whom ofcourse you can't be all sure) One would say that if alJ moderation works so swift, a "test" message would not get a confirmation, (i send them to junk since if anything i check them between 4days), well teh ridculous and hard to understand text message..
test
(PR typo lviv)
alJ spam by subject,
a pun on their systems, did get through.... hesitatingly,
so thats suspect it is perhaps not alJ that is censoring so much of my opinions.
As a rule ofcourse i am under the impression the disappearing texts do still get used by the powers in question, and by media some. So it must be they are actually interesting. General subjects on wich my media acces seemed mangled were many,
especially political actuality is censored, wether that is olhmerts next PR stunt,
georgia, or musharaf, exceptionally positive comments appear to come through more often and there is a point in that the usual post that disappears would contain a few opinions about the democratical functionality of officials.
let me just, after telling what i can tell other ways, tell you what i have been thinking over these affairs.
Georgia. I support Russia over georgia. Thats more a matter of a non aggressive geopolitical reality i have an ambition for then the specific thing. Luckily now medvedev made the surprising move to put a straight hold on actions, I think that is diplomatically or in terms of PR the best decission. Some operational requirements needed to be met but with a georgia in panic and disarray (like the south ossetians a lot of them moved about against their wishees) reasonable negotiatians with the georgian side seem to be again more possible. I hope they will apreciate the russian gestures.
To my surprise nato (and israel, and even usian foreign advisors etc.) showed no direct interest to greatly escalate the situation.
I take it as a hopefull sign, it is a change, it is so the media reported the whole affair, here in netherlands, with a huge anti russian bias. But this unreal perception of reality is for once not the modus operandi of the diplomatical world, keeping it that way would make a big change, and i think the change the world needs.
The details against ossetians are pretty disgusting, to me it seems russia otoh has maintained a very limited and military operation, somewhat succesfully evading civil casualtys. The only thing against that is the scale, then again, actually did not do so much inside georgia, and the area of south ossetia must be considered another case for many reasons. That one of russias arguments to support such tiny nations may be they don't feel all secure against US and the Nato that keeps building bases around them is exactly the geopolitical matter that makes me side with them.
That means i can easily imagine this is a very scary event for the russians as well,
It would be a possible start to clear up much of the misplaced animositys of the world, much like the olympics could be a place where differences can be evaluated instead of accentuated.
In that sense the "usual persons psychology" for me is hard to understand, the mere spectacle, and location are supposed to have unmeasurable PR value for china, and indeed people are more interested in china then before.
The most annoying thing about bush lately was his talking about 2000? political prisoners in china, i think us has 15000 ppl in guatanamos only worldwide, then again i would again like to have an idea of what is a fair impression these days,
for me it is obvious poorer less developed nations have their rights issues.
If china somehow manages such problems on her giant scales i think it is a proof of it's governments good intentions.
There remains a lot to wish for also in china, but there are so many nations a lot remains to be wished for and pressfreedom and freedom of expression are a farce at bush side as well.
mh next subject, whats olympics got to do with it?
Musharaf,
now what in pakistan, a clownesque situation, different accusations have been made against musharaf, however also plays a more official motion of distrust, that i suppose is the kind of measure that should dispose him. However how can you take that serious if the involved partys have locked another up in almost every way over corruption and seem to be out for no less then musharafs skin, using of all things, the war on afghanistan's finances. So that means like this there is no compromise or respect left for musharaf. I think it is a pitty because the man represented a progressive and even somewhat tolerant set of values, ofcourse that is only an impression but i hope pakistan with her current unrest won't return to the kind of underdeveloped and marginal state it used to be under musharafs opponents rule.
Zimbabwe, well about zimbabwe i wrote that if it hadn't been for all the international attention mugabe would have had less of carte blanche of many ppl on the world. In a situation were noone trusts any, you end up trusting what you had.
That there now are negotiations, for me, implies tsvangirai is getting ready to agree to mugabe on the matters of zimbabwe souvereignety (in the wider sense of economic politics etc. as well) and african unity, wether or not to allow political economical development that undermine the african unity and prosperity, very exciting and tense, a strange detail is to some extend with the 'brutal oppressor' picture in mind, mugabe must have always tolerated tsvangirai. That is not so exceptional, but it may tell something about minds or personality's. Mugabe might know rather precisely how he wants tsvangirai to guarantee certain developments. But also mugabe may have been 'not very afraid' of morgan, i must say when i compare the two and the few direct impressions they left on me, mugabe generally appeals to me more, and i think like that is perhaps one of those reasons. It may also be one of the reasons the other zanu faction is represented, don't worry a newer and still progressive africa then mugabe's also exists, and arthur could represent it.
So that are surprising developments to me, about the zimbabwe situation i get rather optimistic, about Pakistan i am not quite sure, but if the world will not eternally and deeply blame russia over something they hardly had a hand in, (and that appears like a premeditated nato PR trick with the Nato sponsored georgian army featuring as a sad excuse:-0), my sun will start shining. Perhaps its obama's good influences.
As a matter of factual also there was a russian not only de facto but UN mandated peace mission in the territory. Russia has done evrything i wished for to manage the situation, evacuate the civilians, degrade some of the toys, put a great statement, withheld from really compromising georgian territorial integrity, and the nr of victims even in both armys have remained somewhat limited, i think during all the operation great care has been maintained, considering that in a story about the eviction of gori, 7 wounded soldiers in a military convoy 15 miles away were worth mentioning.
i might have to add something to this.

wow wat a lively place this is
Hello dear readers, i get into the habit of writing here about what is not allowed elsewhere, and that is pretty much the prediction for the coming month.
This turns me into an obamaniac, that might at least change something. sympathic comments about olmert unwanted? or is it he was the president when israel attacked lebanon? or that noone knows he pretty much collaborated on that war and the wall? or that he was a pessimist for international affairs? perhaps just that i dont trust anyone with his kind of income to be a near decent taxpayer.
Karadzic, appears a cover up operation to avoid media coverage on a procedure against british corporate government. Insanity, the man may be guilty, but that is not for the world to judge, guilty people are roaming everywhere, and it is doubtfull he is a fit example, even if he is, the political context spoils the case, "totally". Similarly i put the remark the perpetrators on bosnian and croatian side are now in charge.
Pakistan etc. the way usian international politics shifts her worrysomeness from one place into the other, irak to pakistan is not to my liking, It is alo not compatible or coherent or conform with desarmament.
It is much like the anti china campaign, the pashtun(chinese) really had no other options, still we blame them from the materially superior context of their previous exploiters, their predatory robbers , and their current slavesdrivers.
The "global economy" is actually based on such markets of slaves, and wants to shift labour globally continuously as a result.
Perhaps this anti-pakistan thing is basically a method to divide asia.
Or to impose the picture on pakistani's india is not really an enemy.
I looked around on pakistani blogs a little, and the intelectuals ebar a lot of rubbish, plain views are also discomfortingly prejudiced. But now i am talking Pakistan main, not necessarilly the outbounds, where politics is a grimm reality.
Nevertheless that pakistani context is discouraging, and with the usual appeal to populism extreme views are once again, just like here, mixed and married to this old fashioned prejudice. The easiest ways to incite violence or counterviolence.
A more apropriate reaction could only be to show the better example, take it for granted that every populace not yet long oppressed by our own hypocritic values will dislike the insincereity collectively and not like here when there is an individual basis to do so. AMEEN, so they shout.
(not that abd my sp.)

monthly period
These days i need to write more. I have a procedure ahead, that i need to script my defence for. Ridiculous word, it's actually i am the damaged party. At it it is at a "police-judge" whatever that exactly would be, and my experience with the souple police 'techniques' of the past decades makes me expect a total and complete farce.
Such is a good reason to write a lot, because starting a piece against a nation abusing its laws to bring down individual citizens to despair, and living under subsistence level, is not exactly how i usually aproach matters.
I need practice. So like other bloggers around the world i decide to give you some general views from my life. I even consider skipping every political bit, where there is plenty of actuality with the turks making this newest statement over iraq souvereignity. (wich could be what is behind)
I have 2 kind of views in my life, real life ones and internet ones. These two are not very related, for example that i enjoyed a partner in crimes blog only more after she started a new one: http://uncensoredarabwomanblues.blogspot.com/
You will find the links for her other blogs there. On one we are even allowed to comment.. some day in the future i will sway to her system. Have a blog were i speak my ideological truths, and noone can comment, wonderfull, if ever anything happens that would make my blog more relevant then the most, i will be spared the professional propagandists that clutter the comments sections of so many iraqi blogs.
For now i have only this active blog really. So the comments section will stay open,
i will just delete comments that call for pitty for neo liberal, neo con, perhaps not fascist straightout, ppl as van gogh was one. (comment deleted now, le. i see you find need to misrepresent his case internationally now, and i think that suffices.:)
That said lely is a very nice person. With just some general misconceptions and more good then bad ideas. She has a blog: http://lelly-mondobongo.blogspot.com/,
wich is nice to read, and not that bad for anglosaxon standards.
Uncensoredblues is as typical a sunni-arab as she is an anglosaxon, people are like that. For most comprehensive blog on iraki matters i still enjoy abbas haniya 'kid'
,who changed his name. The iraki blogosphere turned into tabloid like scenes these days, rather predictably a shift is apreciable, where expatriat iraki's slowly loose some of their credibility. I think it is late at it, i have been waiting for all this as long as i watched iraki blogs. Unfortunately my favourit blog in irak.. (i prefer to call kid's although he doesn't like it, for reason of ease of use) http://ejectiraqikkk.blogspot.com/, isn't any more in irak. Kid/abbas is somewhat outspoken at times, i couldn't advise it for being the most objective, although i personally get most of my impressions through it, it is also the most original one.
And now he's considering switching to arab. I really hope he won't. Although i understand his reasoning.(Other arabs at least have a clue what they went through).
I tried to blog pakistan in a way that resembles how i used iraki blogs to stay informed. It's been a shocking experience. Pakistan being relatively far from the wars that raged in the ME for the most part, has been stereotyping the problems in a not very alien way. The whole pakistani culture is on a level of discussion that for most westerners is kind of inedible. Having a rather deep, and especially historical dislike for zionism is one thing, treating it all out with so harsh voices and only a few trying to smooth the polemics. confuses. One thing is for sure, before the pakistani nation as a whole emancipates from several prejudices is way to go.
On the other end apparently the pakistani archetypical evolved mulsim view has not become very informed inside pakistan itself.
Perhaps i should say something more about irak(blogs). It is not only that people face difficulty in having a clean conversation but, like abbas points out today, Iraqis are generally depressed over the situation. They don't so much regard it in doomsday terms as i do, with my dislike for all armed forces, factions and militia, in the end all militia, representing one or another power base.
More like: this didn't help, that didn't help, what next will not help us.
Personally i am still thinking that removing foreign troops is the best. The violence inside irak could not get worse, and the first incentive, the foreign presence being gone, perhaps the peace will return sooner then we expect.
However thats just as unrealistcally as anything, i can see it that way. But try to convince the presidents (of the oilcompanys) and they will spawn many 100s of pages of reports to deny the option. Good reason for me to keep writing, see you soon.

living legends
It's now february 2008, and we did a lot of pretty cool things, and a lot of pretty crappy. In the netherlands the overall impression is one of not very informedness,
when something happens the west really likes, eg. bhuto that went to pakistan or bush to israel, there is a great flush of probhutopakistan and to a somewhat more recollected extend,probushisrael, news, but next the whole nation falls back on some utterly obscure case, that is in fact obviously a plea for a more sensationalist aproach to crime.(1)
Meanwhile with our movements of protest being beaten up , institutionalised and splintered the great majority of people hardly have a say about the controversial neo-liberal rightwing offshoots. The effect is evident in society im many ways, ranging from ridiculous, through funny, to paranoia and frustration. Usually not much good because the perpetual repetition of the fascist themes of capitalism has the predictable effect.
Now i just have to talk about al jazeera as it is my primary news source. Al jazeera as an institute of news is far from perfect. It is a very much regarded stream of publicity and the attentions of mediapolicys are strongly present because the concept(alJ) is limited in what it is allowed to represent. Firstly it is bound by many of the usual restrictions on news gathering, wether they are circumstantial or official interference, secondly it is not allowed to function if it disallows abuse of her medium for the official medialine. This can be in topics, expressions used in topics, but also in the sequence of articles or at least, the sequence of expressions used within a topic over time. However it is still more interesting, open and serious then the usual inet media, and through alJ i 'discovered' youtube.
A pleasant way.
K, that said i assume i could give some general impressions on the political states of affairs, and since the year is new, i should say there are some.
Pakistan that focussed to get the worlds attention a month ago, is actually a complicated nation, when you support say bhuto's PPP it does not say so much about if you are a modern person. Likewise when people support sharif don't know his party's name, it does not mean they are ready to allow freedom of expression. There however are many reasons pakistani don't want to support musharaf, who actually seems the most advanced case. He is a militairy person, he has been in charge for a long time, he organises things in a very hard to understand way, he is very lenient to islamists, yet hard when to proof his authority. He is not much of a dictator, then again he is one, Pakistan is a police state, though perhaps not a very bad and political one, the army has to pronounced a place for a 21st century nation, then again Musharaf was not wrong when he decided to use it as the tool of development under all these circumstances. Nobody trusts what he says, because you can trust him to say only as much as he dares. Actually many Pakistanis behave really paranoid towards him, they blame him for everything to such an extend you really rather believe he is innocent, to put it very clearly, similarly that they judge for example the jews, but there is a consensus they want to get rid of him.
Worst of all more radical elements of all partys involved and at least one of the ones not involved, and perhaps foreign interests may all escalate matters. The more important aproach is one where some consensus that is there now , to actually demote musharaf, would not be abused to heat the fire. The people will have a lot of problems to agree with anyhow, the people that think of eg. ppp as better then musharaf, don't much realise that the ppp might not have better answers to the situation (thinks maliki).
Lastly to western normes and eyes, musharaf is a bit of an idiot, his personality is much more pakistani then ours, i would guess he is as pakistani as he thinks is apropriate, he does it for them , not for us. It does not go in pakistan all unnoticed. Plenty people do realise atomic bombs are not so great, and his personal grudge and attack on india have also left bad impressions. Partly because they did not win i assume. The international world wants to get rid of him mostly because of that affair in any case.(2)
My conclusion, i am glad i am not in pakistan, i would feel like a playball of forces greater then the pakistani and i am not so sure i would feel completely safe from musharaf either. Us interference in pakistan is also a scary prospect, ofcourse that if people manage to explode in islamabad now, they will certainly do when the nation is a bloodbath.
so these are my opinions about pakistan. I hope the ppp after the elections will live up to the promises of freedom, and not opt for power through division.
It is smore sensible to involve the army and musharaf in the whole probably, firstly any civil government will be safer and it is the easiest way, secondly untill yet musharafs policys have somewhat kept foreign intervention far. In that sense created room for experiment and dialogue, and both empirically and militairy, as well as relating to the love for pakistan, the best choice.
Next not so good subject. Afrika. Both Kenya and Chad have seen little advance in the last times. It is a good thing when the UN at least cares to provide food to chad after this disaster, that is rather incomprehendible and definitly not quite like the media suggest. The more vague aspect is france's role, however it is equally possible to regard it an usian ploy, some chad/usian/sudanese cooperation,
or just a general sign of absolute unwillingness to settle under ydres debri.
All in all some elements from darfur and surrounding nations would sympathise with such a cause over resources. But chad is a very barren nation, with not enough plants to maintain a moist climate, just like btw kenya's more affected region is not the more green one.
So on to kenya. In Kenya the progress has achieved something. But everybody may feel very scared.., we, the people that fight opression, are very used to conservative forces trying to reverse the opportunity after we agree to negotiate. In kenya people will know this too. Kenyan people overall have not behaved so bad, as both sides have managed to tune in the violence. However the authority's are the more dangerous side when they get time to react. I think that is why odingo does not want to settle without new elections and a more solid confirmation of this change of powers. He does not want to have the balance turn against him or the people without securing a better position to implement the result of the negotiations. Indeed he says it would be better Kibaki stepped back. There is some truth in that it would change quite some governments if rigged elections were not as readily accepted in this world.
oow then there is israel, most complicated nations on the planet, one thing they proof alltogether is they know how to make rockets. I really hope the southern gate will some day be unlocked. It is ridiculous that israel insists on supplying gaza with the mere intend to be able not to deliver. It is a very humiliating and embarrasing situation and as such a source for conflicts throughout the region and outside. When criminals take hostages the traumas read like soap adds. but when the whole gaza population is a hostage for many years nobody really bothers what trauma the people get.
Your views pages on al jazeera. way to many western contributions.
Elections, Obama, more credible base for advance and progression.
Interesting dillema btw, The anti-racial stance, because it would emancipate the most people and the extra discriminated woman? Or the prowoman stance , because it might affect half of us and the rest, and really is one of the most substantial matters of emancipation as well.
Within that , Clinton is obviously very associated with the existing political system and obama represents something more out of the ordinairy, much more emancipated, when you look at what both represent. Usians don't mean to do bad to the world so much, they only move for war after the media/government has endlessly been preaching the crusade, and they really don't realise most of us arrange our internal matters in a somewhat more friendly way. That the world is not so much a hollywood cartoon here. And also not that people can be much poorer then them. Thats why they bomb nations that hardly have anything to the stone age, and boycot people in distress, they have no idea what they are doing in between their media hypes.
As a result of that the tone of the debate, essentially international, wich is after all the most important aspect, can be expected to change in a better way by getting rid of racial prejudices that, it seems to me, affect us to a greater extend in all these mistaken wars and conflicts we set loose. For example a typical european has a prejudice against every lua and every kikuyu. Not much of a help.
It would be a great and deserving show for the us to overstep this.
So many nations have xenophobe outlets, great tasks ahead.
--smokes--
oh yes irak. quit it before everyone has to join the army or 'security'?
No, becus of oil. Sees a stone age perspective in the region...
I don't hope they hop over to iran.
(1)the material this sensationalist approach 'precedent' works with is rather untelling as well, looks to me like a story the 2 cooked up together.
(2)It is though as if india spend more attention to the problem after.
when something happens the west really likes, eg. bhuto that went to pakistan or bush to israel, there is a great flush of probhutopakistan and to a somewhat more recollected extend,probushisrael, news, but next the whole nation falls back on some utterly obscure case, that is in fact obviously a plea for a more sensationalist aproach to crime.(1)

It is smore sensible to involve the army and musharaf in the whole probably, firstly any civil government will be safer and it is the easiest way, secondly untill yet musharafs policys have somewhat kept foreign intervention far. In that sense created room for experiment and dialogue, and both empirically and militairy, as well as relating to the love for pakistan, the best choice.
Next not so good subject. Afrika. Both Kenya and Chad have seen little advance in the last times. It is a good thing when the UN at least cares to provide food to chad after this disaster, that is rather incomprehendible and definitly not quite like the media suggest. The more vague aspect is france's role, however it is equally possible to regard it an usian ploy, some chad/usian/sudanese cooperation,
or just a general sign of absolute unwillingness to settle under ydres debri.
All in all some elements from darfur and surrounding nations would sympathise with such a cause over resources. But chad is a very barren nation, with not enough plants to maintain a moist climate, just like btw kenya's more affected region is not the more green one.
So on to kenya. In Kenya the progress has achieved something. But everybody may feel very scared.., we, the people that fight opression, are very used to conservative forces trying to reverse the opportunity after we agree to negotiate. In kenya people will know this too. Kenyan people overall have not behaved so bad, as both sides have managed to tune in the violence. However the authority's are the more dangerous side when they get time to react. I think that is why odingo does not want to settle without new elections and a more solid confirmation of this change of powers. He does not want to have the balance turn against him or the people without securing a better position to implement the result of the negotiations. Indeed he says it would be better Kibaki stepped back. There is some truth in that it would change quite some governments if rigged elections were not as readily accepted in this world.
oow then there is israel, most complicated nations on the planet, one thing they proof alltogether is they know how to make rockets. I really hope the southern gate will some day be unlocked. It is ridiculous that israel insists on supplying gaza with the mere intend to be able not to deliver. It is a very humiliating and embarrasing situation and as such a source for conflicts throughout the region and outside. When criminals take hostages the traumas read like soap adds. but when the whole gaza population is a hostage for many years nobody really bothers what trauma the people get.
Your views pages on al jazeera. way to many western contributions.
Elections, Obama, more credible base for advance and progression.
Interesting dillema btw, The anti-racial stance, because it would emancipate the most people and the extra discriminated woman? Or the prowoman stance , because it might affect half of us and the rest, and really is one of the most substantial matters of emancipation as well.
Within that , Clinton is obviously very associated with the existing political system and obama represents something more out of the ordinairy, much more emancipated, when you look at what both represent. Usians don't mean to do bad to the world so much, they only move for war after the media/government has endlessly been preaching the crusade, and they really don't realise most of us arrange our internal matters in a somewhat more friendly way. That the world is not so much a hollywood cartoon here. And also not that people can be much poorer then them. Thats why they bomb nations that hardly have anything to the stone age, and boycot people in distress, they have no idea what they are doing in between their media hypes.
As a result of that the tone of the debate, essentially international, wich is after all the most important aspect, can be expected to change in a better way by getting rid of racial prejudices that, it seems to me, affect us to a greater extend in all these mistaken wars and conflicts we set loose. For example a typical european has a prejudice against every lua and every kikuyu. Not much of a help.
It would be a great and deserving show for the us to overstep this.
So many nations have xenophobe outlets, great tasks ahead.
--smokes--
oh yes irak. quit it before everyone has to join the army or 'security'?
No, becus of oil. Sees a stone age perspective in the region...
I don't hope they hop over to iran.
(1)the material this sensationalist approach 'precedent' works with is rather untelling as well, looks to me like a story the 2 cooked up together.
(2)It is though as if india spend more attention to the problem after.

2008 year of the censors
Don't be surprised. It's the general trend. So 2008 will be a more censored year then the year before. election haze. We will be lured by election hazes more then ever, the capitalist system, the corporates are trying to sell campaigns for democracy. only strong action by the populaces offers a chance on somewhat representative "results" tho. People are very easy to believe.
A recent example is the "speedboat incident" another insignificant if even real incident that will take a prominent place in wikipedia-en.(most probably)
for one thing the us navy said it had video.. but released scenes only later.
That beside i have a slight suspicion boats are around there all the time, and this time may have thrown sigaret buds in the water?
It's just an example how hardly noteworthy and possibly framed incidents, the viddeo is not very convincing, are abused to influence one of these supposedly 'significant' 'democratic' elections. If you keep an eye open in the current trend of stressing elections in the media and reward disproved results 'incidents' will be more often witnessed. Usually it is the timing that tells the character of the incident.
For example: the incident in pakistan today. Why was it timed there? was the man exploding before the lawyers arrived purposedly?? yes. most probably, if the current version is true (he didn't crash a motorbike in a truck, and he was not on foot),
but arrived on motorbike (largely undamaged) , and ran into a crowd of policeman,
he deliberately targetted the police, or perhaps the cops. However the timing then suggest an alliance with the gathering of lawyers. Not improbable, the anti- musharaf lawyers do tend to democracy perhaps, but tend to be the ones with the conservative aproach, logically speaking, from our point of view, because much of the legal dispute is focussed around the implementation of sharia, or it's veritability contrary to the juridical system.(iafaik)
there is the usual natural alliance of this 'taliban' with the more libertarian forces ofcourse, because both are repressed. However i have not discovered a party in pakistan politics intend on serving the populace (as opposed to eg. their purses), or it must be musharafs. So i kind of exclude the really progressive forces in pkaistan of teh violence. (perhaps not justified, pronouncedly so if the pakistan army itself would be known inside pakistan to use means equaly awfull, (practically , the same). If all 3 recent attacks would be framed by musharaf he certainly hates the cops. Not the most fearsome aspect a dictator could have.
A enough about it.. i could tell more but this is about 2008, not about 8-01-2008
First time i got the numbers riot the first time in the year i think. Poverty got its needs. uhm, part of the nr's.
Economy of this reality depends on cooperation. There have been and , most probably are to be, rather large disasters. Their results we could use to set up something like a patchwork disaster service. I fear they will not be without work in a decade.
Perhaps its a nice replacement for all these armys.
Disasters tend to be survivable, recent floods not only in mid america have prooven that with support many people can be saved from physical harm. It is a nice precursor to ecological landuse that these people need to be provided and resettled.
One thing we may still have to account for is droughts. However both the need for reforestation and the need for water can easily be solved through ecological
planologics. They would have been solved if we had started this worldwide 30 years before.
Forestfires will be inevitable, as a result everywhere were dry circumstances occur uggly lanes through the areas must be realised wich is practical with woodcut but does not at all relate to the corporate models of landuse..
Generally crops can be climate independend. Certain crops, and certain varietys of crops stand a climate, eg. the dutch, better. that besides some stand rain better and some drought, by producing a part of the food along these lines the world could build up much needed resources relatively cheaply and at the least ecological expense. It is also a better guarantee to misfortune. If i understand correctly everywhere on the planet foodprices have been on the rise.
Birth reduction. At least under circumstances of war the arguments are pretty simple.
An adult relation with other nations means that you have a productive birth-control
program.(joke),
Stopping clichees. There are to many evident clichee, even i am to blame, i try not to be clichee wich is why i know. People urgently need to stop talking of other people as tribes , religions, etc.political terms are the only really acceptable ones
for an adult discussion of politics. (i predict billions will fale miserably in this aspect this year;)That means you can say capitalist, socialist, or whatever you want, african unionist, unionist soberly, libertarian or whatever. But if you take a standing point like a kapitalist pig would somebody may call you a kapitalist pig.
Thats not a clichee (else we'd be all f**king rich). anyway..
other great events for 2008. development. Now that slowly the uselessness of the production oriented economy dews in, development on itself is not the hardest point anymore. it became a matter of conscience. One might say 'awareness'. Environmental awareness basically. There is an environment where we can provide everyone with food , education and entertainment. But the lower the overall measure of luxury, the more chance we can afford it.
political turmoil. For the left wing it is important to realise that the mass, the general people, the ones that find hardship maintaining their existence, are not so much in a position to protest over remote wars anymore. The luxury is already gone.
We don't protest over vietnam anymore or a ridiculous wikipedia that claims kongo was a deadlier event. 15 years ago, i think, i told you that also the usual people would become very marginalised, and it is pretty much what has happened.

prioritys for pakistan
Actually it is very hard to accurately judge every or even much detail of the human rights situation in pakistan for me. However the picture unnfolding has quitte the charactersitics as can be expected with the different interests that are most urgent in mind.
Obviously thinking on the lines that pakistan would not move the army into afghanistan or in the direction of kabul, the only reality is that the north of pakistan is already politicised. So that is not a surprise, every actual calm or rest for the afghan refugees and their relatives or even sympathisers is dependant of just having something like a region where they are free from control wich so easily turns into persecution.
Naturally musharaf has only 2 options, acting up, wich is insisting on more plain military violence inside northern pakistan, or letting go for now and hope that things don't turn to much out of hand. It appears to be a sour procedure, in so far that the taliban, so in effect the populace, of northern pakistan immediatly grabs after the formal characteristics of her 'talibanship' again a very politicised attitude.
Perhaps they think: it is now or never, the possibility that the west decides butto will be her man, and the next thing is f16's in the sky we better have some space around. Or perhaps it is: we just don't want to have to do with that silly musharaf and his english in afghanistan.
Literally spoken the swat valley immediatly took over policestations, and implemented their representation through sharia law:) Wich puzzles me about the different interests of pakistani lawyers again.
Anyhow, there is no immediatly obvious solution, so i thought of the following,
all the nations once conquered by greece could join greece, and as a side-effect they would be part of EU. Now inside eu war is not allowed, so that is settled
and the situation in pakistan also becomes awkwardly clear, with the option to compare these peoples rights with these of the basques.(no rights)
However, since it might scare russia we will also include the kaukasus, ukraine, and russia. That way at least when we bomb these guys we have a decent excuse and....
I will finally see greece develop a european constitution for the perspectives of many people. Although they are orthodox, the greek, perhaps they can't handle the very physical humanist attitudes from northern europe to wich all people are supposed to conform. The ukraine can easily be included, and once belorussia gets surrounded they will probably immediatly surrender to Merkel.
that would be nice:) with turkey in europe keeps its original shapes, only a bit bigger, ofcourse we also invite lebanon, becus it is such a mess with funny tourist perspectives, israel, to proof that we emancipated ourselves so much that even if we can't live with jews we still do, syria, to save them from future agression, the kurds, probably for the famous 'basque' argument . in short everything that once was with alexander except what is in africa. That solves a lot of voting problems in a future world community as well, when they all belong with greece:).
long hm. rulers are like mortargrenades, hardly ever one falls on exactly the same place. That is why a child of a promising ruler has little promise as a ruler as a rule. I feel this strongly over northern african nations and want to make the point secure that I include european monarchist institutes.
likewise i think over bhutto, i don't mean to say that she can't carry any of her fathers spirit or that any child couldn't. Just that it is not a very fair merchandise, and all one is left is to look critical at advertising.
Sadly i am very sure all this is actually set up to divide the islam world and pakistan, politics get a bit shaky, turkey is reinvited in upon.. threatening the kurds, pakistan is (well i am glad it is) sufficiently modern to have a thorough discussion herself, and afghanistan? It's always been a part of europe, the greek never left, only recently they turned english. So for the afghan people the best choice as well is to join the eu.
That way the war need to be put to an end, since it is not allowed for eu members or foreign powers to have a war on eu territory.
This is a very light idea, but when i think of the nightmare it is for the average EU politian i get greatly happy:). Oh yes, oh barzir ... of the taliban yes.. i heard from my secretary.. how could that happen?
:D
It's a bit of a pitty for the parts of the ME alexander didnt reach, like that new bit of vulcanic island, that they will necessarily be excluded, however perhaps it is only the best solution that all these peoples of the books, get their stuf organised together for once. I am not so sure of that actually, i get reluctant to endanger india into invitee status, and i see how russia will have to say no.
well there goes belorussia:(
sobs;)
finally the nations of the kaukasus may rest to the heart of mother belgium.
(wich is falling apart:D, i hope they keep it that way, the eu is ruled from a nation that is falling apart:), good PR.

A lost month, friends
I am not much busy with the legal case. Mostly because i did plan not to.
The month has been pretty much what i expected, so not very hopefull.
General voices and opinions gear the brakes, but, it is a rather financial workabout..
What i guess is happening. I am still all before introducing a law-precedence
platform. It could also function as an idea-bin. Ofcourse it is a bit related with promoting a broader and quitte radically different aproach of rehabilitation,
"reclassment" in the dutch technical term.( partly).
the general difference is to reclass also the law and society, and not only the mere social individual, victim and perpetrator, and that it needs a working concept, a target or motivation, that is to support these individual people and groups that get harmed through criminal justice.
thats my personal thing and how i can hold up its concepts.
Soo,.. let me move on to the general subject of this months historical events.
In the scale of nations, historical events are an everyday happening, in the positive, and in the negative, Does it even matter to people that we have surpassed productivity you might wonder?
ah i confuse politics and economics. Personally i don't think these concepts of hyped economy (production capitalism) are valid these days. It is merely a portable problem.
Eg. (historical event nr 4 or so this month), in burma or (event 5) korea,we actually meet 2 nations that don't have twintowers of files on guest labourers,
that don't so much have a hyped but rather a sustained economy.
And that actually apparently serve no real capialist concurention with china.
So not only in terms of powercircles, ruling class elitarism, a development is also a danger to the population, also economical fears remain quitte reasonable.
That it is on a background that the IMF forced the burmese into higher domestic fuel proces, while balancing that with exports, remains also quitte questionable.
Likewise , north koreans are mostly a political target, and victim, of capitalist policys. Their association with china, allows them the pace or better of the chinese economys , it is the international boykot that has hampered all else.
So we have a "thuisland" nation or isolated economy, opening up for relations with her former self. The rest of korea.
That it is somewhat bad all is due to international policy's largely,
Since outside Korea these same politics have easily and simply ruined economys and nations and their peace, (endless row of examples), a change of power cannot be regarded even close to a certain advancement. The opposite is quitte possible, that internal, or south korean or perhaps even chinese or french, english involve in matters, and that actually in a decade, when things turn out worse, nobody had noticed that they were not so sure.
Whence it is relevant to act restrained to such discomforted economys.
I missed all of the inspiration and most of the opportunity to write my blog this month for wich i am sorry. I am trying on.
Then Pakistan. Pakistan is *the* last years historical event.
Firstly: i dont care much about formalitys. The whole "can musharraf remain president? "bit is moot. The only real question is should or wanton?
generally i have no agreeance with prolonged terms of governmental leadership,
although i grew a bit more leanient through the ongoing show of incapacity, by plenty in the social interaction. In that sense, people like putin and musharraf that mostly achieved things through their personal inspiration, are the most likely for meganalomaniacism.
They'd have to cope with it anyhow. It is however wild, farfetched and naive..(or not), another argument not to support prolonged terms at all.
The real legal problem of pakistan is islamic law. When emancipating or developing pakistan, pakistani moves before, that are frighteningly counterproductive (1). At least, have shown to be so in pakistan. Me , i remember you; that both sharif and butto have been implicated in corruption. The legal, burocratic system and structure of their days has been ready to support that. I understand Musharrafs ambition to cope with international relations through his understanding of the colonialist english culture.
Otoh, musharraf is not fighting quitte a right cause. The question remains wether non-interventional politics would provide better results. And in the case of afghanistan you may wonder what anybody (the west or the russians ) wanted there anyhow. Apparently , now we are there we, have set out not to leave before they changed. Hardly in the sense of: because it might work, but more because we forgot there are other options, mostly i think it is an experiment in control strategys.
It is the control strategy of a ruling imperialist and elitarist, on the subconscious xenophobic class, paranoid perhaps in a local contexts, on the world.
And the experiment of the control of the methods on the ground. Everybody has their excitement.
The current problems (at least since like 2002) of Pakistan are most closely related with the problems in afghanistan, and in a more loose sense contrast with the sultanates and other dictatorships that are US most loyal comrades.
Perhaps tho have a better say on modern (moderate) islam then Musharraf. That.., i much wonder.
For me as a anarchist, or liberal, or humanist, islam (and every religion) is very unagreeable.
I hate indoctrination. I think if people should be indoctrinated into "good stuff",
it should happen through progressive information.
Wich would turn it into a subject, an item of the consciousness, nobody should be born into, raised into, let alone forced into a dogmatic. Certainly not a historical, largely antiquated control mechanism as christianity, judaism or islam.(2)
It's been a centurys long fight against myths and fairy tales, to liberate some western mind, from the limits of a thought,- let alone belief system.
I think moderate modern islam, could make a start with realising that.
If they have the better source , or code nothing could be easier then to start a more elegant application.
So apparently it doesn't, well actually perhaps they are still celebrating a liberation that needed to be preached for centurys.
Longer then with us, since antique and not only roman times.
iafaiac. it is up to musharraf and i hope he will start informing his ppl before working them in his outlets. He needs to be a president to be more secure, but ah..
it is not so bad to throw over a military inspired governance. It's got it's good points. otoh there is (if i place that correctly) salafists, probs not a neutral term, outing salafists appears tasty as well.
So personally what i don't belief is emancipating islam can be achieved through formalising islam in any secular sense.
needs work on the cultural relational aspect overhere, but check the medicationstatistics for 'privileged entry' jemenites and others. Here.
(1) it is quitte about liberating minds from indoctrination all.
(2) Hinduism is obviously more confusing then the more budhist traditions, in many places however hindus went through much of the schools of thoughts of budhism apparently. in fact their results in the sense of zen and tao , shinto etc. manhand a more realist perspective, although in many instances they are set out for control mechanism as well. It is not that i agree with tao or all shinto, it's just not the subject of the day. Can't help it but that i do agree with zen.
(checks again, at least it says salafISTS).
The month has been pretty much what i expected, so not very hopefull.
General voices and opinions gear the brakes, but, it is a rather financial workabout..

Likewise , north koreans are mostly a political target, and victim, of capitalist policys. Their association with china, allows them the pace or better of the chinese economys , it is the international boykot that has hampered all else.
So we have a "thuisland" nation or isolated economy, opening up for relations with her former self. The rest of korea.
That it is somewhat bad all is due to international policy's largely,
Since outside Korea these same politics have easily and simply ruined economys and nations and their peace, (endless row of examples), a change of power cannot be regarded even close to a certain advancement. The opposite is quitte possible, that internal, or south korean or perhaps even chinese or french, english involve in matters, and that actually in a decade, when things turn out worse, nobody had noticed that they were not so sure.
Whence it is relevant to act restrained to such discomforted economys.
I missed all of the inspiration and most of the opportunity to write my blog this month for wich i am sorry. I am trying on.
Then Pakistan. Pakistan is *the* last years historical event.
Firstly: i dont care much about formalitys. The whole "can musharraf remain president? "bit is moot. The only real question is should or wanton?
generally i have no agreeance with prolonged terms of governmental leadership,
although i grew a bit more leanient through the ongoing show of incapacity, by plenty in the social interaction. In that sense, people like putin and musharraf that mostly achieved things through their personal inspiration, are the most likely for meganalomaniacism.
They'd have to cope with it anyhow. It is however wild, farfetched and naive..(or not), another argument not to support prolonged terms at all.
The real legal problem of pakistan is islamic law. When emancipating or developing pakistan, pakistani moves before, that are frighteningly counterproductive (1). At least, have shown to be so in pakistan. Me , i remember you; that both sharif and butto have been implicated in corruption. The legal, burocratic system and structure of their days has been ready to support that. I understand Musharrafs ambition to cope with international relations through his understanding of the colonialist english culture.
Otoh, musharraf is not fighting quitte a right cause. The question remains wether non-interventional politics would provide better results. And in the case of afghanistan you may wonder what anybody (the west or the russians ) wanted there anyhow. Apparently , now we are there we, have set out not to leave before they changed. Hardly in the sense of: because it might work, but more because we forgot there are other options, mostly i think it is an experiment in control strategys.
It is the control strategy of a ruling imperialist and elitarist, on the subconscious xenophobic class, paranoid perhaps in a local contexts, on the world.
And the experiment of the control of the methods on the ground. Everybody has their excitement.
The current problems (at least since like 2002) of Pakistan are most closely related with the problems in afghanistan, and in a more loose sense contrast with the sultanates and other dictatorships that are US most loyal comrades.
Perhaps tho have a better say on modern (moderate) islam then Musharraf. That.., i much wonder.
For me as a anarchist, or liberal, or humanist, islam (and every religion) is very unagreeable.
I hate indoctrination. I think if people should be indoctrinated into "good stuff",
it should happen through progressive information.
Wich would turn it into a subject, an item of the consciousness, nobody should be born into, raised into, let alone forced into a dogmatic. Certainly not a historical, largely antiquated control mechanism as christianity, judaism or islam.(2)
It's been a centurys long fight against myths and fairy tales, to liberate some western mind, from the limits of a thought,- let alone belief system.
I think moderate modern islam, could make a start with realising that.
If they have the better source , or code nothing could be easier then to start a more elegant application.
So apparently it doesn't, well actually perhaps they are still celebrating a liberation that needed to be preached for centurys.
Longer then with us, since antique and not only roman times.
iafaiac. it is up to musharraf and i hope he will start informing his ppl before working them in his outlets. He needs to be a president to be more secure, but ah..
it is not so bad to throw over a military inspired governance. It's got it's good points. otoh there is (if i place that correctly) salafists, probs not a neutral term, outing salafists appears tasty as well.
So personally what i don't belief is emancipating islam can be achieved through formalising islam in any secular sense.
needs work on the cultural relational aspect overhere, but check the medicationstatistics for 'privileged entry' jemenites and others. Here.
(1) it is quitte about liberating minds from indoctrination all.
(2) Hinduism is obviously more confusing then the more budhist traditions, in many places however hindus went through much of the schools of thoughts of budhism apparently. in fact their results in the sense of zen and tao , shinto etc. manhand a more realist perspective, although in many instances they are set out for control mechanism as well. It is not that i agree with tao or all shinto, it's just not the subject of the day. Can't help it but that i do agree with zen.
(checks again, at least it says salafISTS).

Integrity (truth-content)
Very often, when i read a bit about what is going on, and try to collect impressions to shape my observations i feel like fleeing to this place, a personal blog.
I am rather proud of it's name. "Uncensored" and i have seen there is an uncensored in english for almost every language now. A partly shamefull affair.
The israelian uncensored eg ,is mere bigotry, and apparently 100000 people need that charicature to maintain their zionist convulsiveness.
Yes, i reach the conclusion that after the initial invention of the uncensored concept, censors claimed the remaining spaces, blogspots. (this could still be relevant at some point in future).
Anyhow at the israeli uncensored i applied selfcensorship. I am pretty fed up with israelis propagating genocide in response to my having a non-zionist opinion.
That what they do and done to palestineans has all the looks of genocide is a second, and their allies being genocidal state-entity's does not help much either.
Well, i think i can be this direct in this context because of the utter lie in that israeli "uncensored". Uncensored is not the same as promoting a more shizoid approach as your respective governments capitalist interests allow.
That is: "censored".
Still, it is just a notion of integrity so i continue my rant over the falselihood of demologics.
Demologics, the art of providing thought concepts to people to make them believe what is ultimately beneficial for your party, is very much on my mind today.
The fuz over pakistan and irak being the main causes, but the confrontation is everywhere (eg. in the anti-russian spy and other propaganda cases, when the western companys suggest we should trust some capitalist corrupt tax-evader to decide over the future of russians).
Then the french, as having to comply to a blackbox populist like sarkozy.
Europeans have never really been impressed by the french brightness, we don't need this joke to destabilise our friendly relations in europe.
So it is a complot? (yes), that leads to destruction? (yes). Because when this can be done to the french, it can be done to anyone.
I can't even think of a more destructive thought.
A coca-cola puppet, no, that is what we need, just wait and he will start victimising palestineans as a matter of disney-puppet habits.
An ultimate propaganda item is president, someone supporting every egoist, greedy, eurocentric, judeochristian bias, yahoo. Wait and see him rant on everyone else we might possibly still militairy engage in the future.
It gets me sick to think that the people of the world are hussled with this way.
So let's make a move and start looking at say.. irak.
Irak is perfect proof that (always surprising me) people have no opinions of their own.
They don't even have a self definition of theirselves. After you blast the hell out of iraki's they are ready to accept each other as enemys. Not only that, if you tell them they kill another for aforementioned non-ratio, they will do precisely so.
This is so blatantly senseless we have to assume , you , the rest of the world , are just ready to succumb to similar mechanisms. Hence we look onward, and focus our satelite view on pakistan.
A lively political arena. Now do the pakistanis in general have a trend to a similar useless direction as say the '33r4ki' or french?
Firstly lets state this clear: there is not a single valid reason why basically democracy would work different anywhere in the world then it would in france or the netherlands. So some random figureheads will be awarded for their capitalist loyaltys by safe and influential positions that earn them well enough to keep them in keeping.
We must observe two things,
a) what will pakistanis be manipulated into believing?
b) who do the capitalists behind it want to kill because of this opportunity?
Ofcourse experience in irak has proven islam is so utterly naive you can make it's followers belief anything. Perhaps not coincedentually the muslim identity of pakistan is much underlined these days. (It's quitte a narrowminded focus on religion as is) . Psychologically it gets easier to understand that intrinsic naivety when you realise islam incorporates you from birth. All your live you will be complying to an ordre that is only natural because you had not even an alternative as a baby. This is what makes it hard to have questions to things authorical situations cause.
Apart from this, there is the illiterate syndrome: when people don't read very well we can lie to them on paper. Since they can't even read what lies are commonplace about them, they are not rewarded the authority to react concerning themselves.
So Pakistani illiteracy is a feature that will be promoted in the western mind.
At least even most french can spell their names, so we could get the impression we know better as a side effect.
In the meanwhile in the west, because obviously we cannot honestly speak over situations ourselves, disrupting as it would be for our indoctination,
we forgot people can speak. Let me explain, : you don't need paper to use words.
Conclusion : it is all a matter of desinformation or else we'd know.

the uncommited suicide
Is one a martyr for being sentenced to 40 years of prison.. it seems so.
For my readers in the far future, today a mosque had been violently evicted, called: "the red mosque's" of all names. Since red is about the only word that worldwidely refers to social politics, a shocking affair indeed.
Wavering through the sub-lated rejects, i struck upon Ramzi Mohammed again.
I must say i have his name seen noticed before, and a picture of his and his best friend among the couple. Actually looking quite much as if they had just been interred after a narrow escape from some warscape, and deeply frustrated over the distrustfull nature of yurpkind respectively.
Relating the so much mentioned name to the bombings that really happened in london however, i thought the guys were dead.
Succesfull suicides so to say, and obviously deeply rooted in the ghosts worlds.
That Ramzi is a splendid thinker.. thanks, i apreciate usefull strategic thought.
I am fascinated. oh sorry i forgot to mention he is actually alive and apparently sentenced for being able to light a campfire in a suicide bomb, something different perhaps (although recently it showed he is by far not the only one in lighting campfires in suicide bombs).
I have doubts at large about the the real contexts of terror attacks,
i suppose that all varietys of involvement are well imaginable, since most explainable options remain obscure, and that does not very much neccesarily extend to
only western examples. Can't say i have not been inventive in trying to figure out de-escalating models of violence myself.
That is why it is so much in the open and with me i suppose.
What the red mosque concerned; I generally base my political opinions on civil libertys. A nation can then only have one singular authority for extraction of justice. Any other model fails, and federalist structures again and again proof that this specific tool ,the tool of justice , is generally helped by overview on the scale of internationally applied authority. And that there is procedural functionality and applicable benefit in coordination.
That every country benefits when a singularised militairy dictator leaves is another thing to keep in mind. In the de-escalating model, i fear the militairy, and then largely me, because the militairy is far more workable then private security,
sees no exact replacement for musharraf, plus he is quitte good for his job as president.
provided he remains on speaking terms internationally as well, wich definetly includes attention (or the fake of that) to human rights, and nationally, mostly by showing a constraint in violence ofcourse .
In the situations that have started through the war in afghanistan as well as showing the militairy he is respecting the value of human life. In the first place of pakistanis, M. does have a strong position now. For emancipating pakistan from the colonialist past and contribute what he can to a new and post imperialist era.
There is so much that matters, it is really so that to remain to the integrity of Islam; pakistan is a strongpoint. To remain strong, why would a good strategist want to be profiled as a weak or halfwit ruler. The only thing we really need is his integrity.
No capable governor of a country would let people without the opportunity to experiment and try, the story is they had some, and no legal ruler can allow his country to be ruled by sharia laws, since that is not internationally and presumably then ethically acceptable.
Musharraf being hardly a legal ruler as a militairy 'dictator'(4) btw.
Any emancipation of pakistani people will come through their ability to work with their selfdefinition of human rights. Since that is the universal standard to progress it must be the direction of our emancipation.(It is also the direction of our army's, any.)
You can work on the quality of human rights, perceivably improving them, so, positively adding recognised rights or aspects, but you can't work without or around them. In that we respect a slight room for experimentation as well, ofcourse, and it all to often gets abused i would say.
So it's of the table.
Are sharia acording to human rights? if yes, there is no need for controversy , Because the law covers and politics will be willing to cover the subject.
If no. It cannot be. Not sharia even or any martial law, if it is "not according to human rights".
(ofcourse i can see perceivable benefits of the sharia systems as well)
Find only sharia that is according to human rights (dignity etc. apparently still included) , and there will hardly be a problem, anyhow the concept or case will be known in legislation and certainly in international jurisprudence.
This means one can start an unlimited nr. of buro's to bring such an issue to representation in any politics, and perhaps more importantly to perfectly research and integrate that on the international level, as long as you adhere to these principles of human rights.
That is everywhere, Netherlands also knows her dogmatists that refuse this and don't do that.
Sometimes we let them, but if it gets dangerous, they have no justicial means very much, to get more out of it , then adaptive measures or a more patient then general treatment.
As long as the issue remains controversial (usually on the hobby-chicken flue level)
smaller quantitys of the issue tend to remain unsolved too, basically because there is really not much need to worry.
Painfully i must admit i am rather much at the base of a shitload of the current human rights concepts and whatever else in de-escalating models profile,
up to these wusname? These thingy's with the extra motor and the decent MG in the nose. Quitte a few rockets went on and i think the bomb layout is even slightly
nostalgic. I'm still embarrased over the slow speed but apparently it works, and it's 25 years old, so what should i think?(warthog)
These were largely designed to use against armour concentrations, and motorised armys
anyhow, but the guns were a succes. It also worked against planes and incoming missiles. It's quitte much a basic layout to incoming militairy dangers of that time,
it carries rockets originally mostly to counter the then abundant missile systems.
I evolved a habit of not mentioning any possible improvements for militairy gear aloud, i tend to immediatly forget them, but i bet they have quitte a huge stock of anti-armour bombs for the thing by now.
Eg. like twice what u need to whipe out any mechanised part of an army in the world.
Anyhow. I don't know what is up to that, although these bombs are useless.
Otoh. the apache i didn't like it, although it featured the same gun.
Helicopters facilitate shooting on infantry (or civilians), or maybe only that i had had helicopters hoovering over me by then, it is very intimidating. For me it is easy to realise what chance a human stands against an apache helicopter(3), there is so abouts 0% chance to even accidentally survive if it happens to aim for personel.
Such is my most particular kind of reason's to confront the attack on the mosque this way. Doing much about it, is 30-40 years late.
That's why i often consider writing science fiction storys.
Lift the imagination to another more practical level of applicated science.
Although now again my mind spins over improving the firerate of machinegunned devices. Accuracy is mostly a composite of the material in the util, it's efficiency is in updating the machinery concepts. The rest is only data. Some servomotor stuf.
I consider these goalkeeperlike concepts really succesfull since they stand a decent chance against air to surface missiles (never heard it failed) , and thus also are able to shoot down every other missiles within efficient reach of a similar weaponplatform. Unfortunately that is so encouraging i have a hard time not improving on the concept.
actually i wonder if similar things that would effectively range 15 miles exist yet, not to bad... although it is not really easy to target into the stratosphere.
I wonder if they know how to make barrels for that though. spose 7 miles would be barrel-limit now.
nah, guns, are not nice stuf.
Musharraf, being a militairy person, probably knows even better how utterly futile militairy resistance against the courses of this planet remains.
He doesn't seem to have very agressive intentions. Although the general show of arms is quitte solid, and then moreless defensively, the material is somewhat obsolete even in 1995(its over 30-35 years design) for european standards. Well right is he, in any case armour would be a sitting duck.
Armour are considered viable targets, viable victims. (for warthogs and other gear(1))
That besides, like i said before, Pakistan's is the only attitude that guarantees the arab world their own atomic bomb. Showing not to lack any dignity to cope with that internationally unfortunate situation. And still hold your head high.
Pakistan may feel the most embarrased nation on the planet, but it shows they have been holding their heads up, in strange ways.
Anyhow to know the arab world has an atomic bomb if needed and won't use it with egoist or greedy intend is the better guarantee for safety i see in that.
I have been watching tv rather deliberately yesterday, and i must say the atmosphere is weary to say the least.
I think it is relevant to see how very deeply pakistani this affair is, and partly has become, there is absolutely no relevance to lay any links to the international situation.
Ofcourse everything is interrelated, but this has really little to do with international threats, and very much with pakistan coping with a harsh and unasked for situation. In wich many sides face blame but from the international perspective only the future can bring a great relief, while it is not very hard to make things worse.
I don't know how correct my insight into that situation is, i must say it is nice to have been inspired by looking at the living faces of muktar and ramzi.
I think i honour ghazi as much as i can without loosing my own, in that.
(pause in the writing cus i slept)
And that is a fearsome thought. Ah the newest outlet confirms these guys had been making duds.I beg your pardon, but things that don't explode make me thinking.
mh, using h2o2 and flour, must be an internet receipt.
Didn't know 'al quade' inspired "and controlled" actions needed these.
Anyhow the whole name al quaida is thoroughly subjective, it is very hard to imagine
that a "radical" muslim group called al quada would have much to do with burkas
for example. It could be local resistance or post-modernists judging from the word.
a fundamentalist moslim group calling herself al quada is in the light of asimovs books about "the foundation" hardly plausible. But that is me. I also manage to "misunderstand" taliban for populace.
gl for now. i'll write again soon. I have an evergrowing list of subjects as long as i keep paying attention to what happens. Sorry if i am chaotically.
I'm still staring at the draft and a revision of the procedure is announces, what to think of that? I love this planet.
(1)Went like: yes, it needs double controls, yes, it needs mechanical controls, yes, it needs that armour, yes i want it to have 2 motors, it should have a small silhouet, etc.
The plane also basicly implements sovjet material structural strength together with advanced armour technology that was more western and thoroughly protects the pilot. (I was quite impressed how they did that one, i had never expected it to turn up in 1 piece, the thing is anyhow a miracle, since it is capable to cope with a build up of armour even the sovjet union could not achieve it basically beats evrything else by miles..) I must assume some slip of my tongues resulted in the firecontrol oriented 4 wheeled (i surprised) firing platforms(2) as well, but they are hardly as succesfull since the applications for deadly quick artillery are rare in de-escalating models.
They are also small benefit against thinly spread infanteristish forces in heavily accented terrain (like afghanistan resistance areas must be).
However if someone would decide to set up an attacking or defending army column they may still be usefull.
(2) Mh, must be why NL wants to dump these howitzers perhaps. These vehicles have a similar range , and you might mount them inside compounds.
Personally i think for sustained fire from fixed or defensive positions motorised howitsers are cheaper and more effective as long as you have aircontrol, but we would not need quite as many. The new thing (another one of the weaponplatform model)
would also take care of some airdefence, and howitsers would be a sitting duck, ofcourse.
(3) not much more then a 7 person warthog under rotors. With armour very much geared to operational crew, wich is elegant. But i haven't been paying much attention.
I would still think it is possible to gain a tactical advantage through exploiting the assymetrical layout, or basically involve it with more (2 times eg) guided missiles then it numerically carries. Provided a 50% succes rate on such singled out apaches (..) , it would easily pay after an attack or 2.
Still you loose 20-50 firecrews. Although beating a group of them would coordinately promise somewhat better odds. you would have to attack them in a lineair aproach formation though, i assume they go with 3 only when it gets serious,
dunno quite what to do about 3 in a triangle with say only 70 missile launchers, unless they are the very most advanced wich would up the chance of a hit from at most like 5% to perhaps 10-30%, (i can think of cheap systems that would score better in single assaults though, i must assume the western missiles recognise the apache, a rather easy feat..)
(4) I think it is very, very, hard to define who actually is or is not a dictator(i) so i maintain a theoretical concept of the concept, in wich roulation of legislative functions prevents the existence.
(i) I do actually consider every prolonged individualised presidency, dictatorship,
4-5 years(ii) and done. If your country cannot live up to that ceremony something is wrong, from wich follows the state is to authorical to be completely healthy.
(ii) I also like 1-term presidents way more usually. Most people serve best in their last period. Ban ki moon is brave there by trying to serve early.

that a "radical" muslim group called al quada would have much to do with burkas
for example. It could be local resistance or post-modernists judging from the word.
a fundamentalist moslim group calling herself al quada is in the light of asimovs books about "the foundation" hardly plausible. But that is me. I also manage to "misunderstand" taliban for populace.
gl for now. i'll write again soon. I have an evergrowing list of subjects as long as i keep paying attention to what happens. Sorry if i am chaotically.
I'm still staring at the draft and a revision of the procedure is announces, what to think of that? I love this planet.
(1)Went like: yes, it needs double controls, yes, it needs mechanical controls, yes, it needs that armour, yes i want it to have 2 motors, it should have a small silhouet, etc.
The plane also basicly implements sovjet material structural strength together with advanced armour technology that was more western and thoroughly protects the pilot. (I was quite impressed how they did that one, i had never expected it to turn up in 1 piece, the thing is anyhow a miracle, since it is capable to cope with a build up of armour even the sovjet union could not achieve it basically beats evrything else by miles..) I must assume some slip of my tongues resulted in the firecontrol oriented 4 wheeled (i surprised) firing platforms(2) as well, but they are hardly as succesfull since the applications for deadly quick artillery are rare in de-escalating models.
They are also small benefit against thinly spread infanteristish forces in heavily accented terrain (like afghanistan resistance areas must be).
However if someone would decide to set up an attacking or defending army column they may still be usefull.
(2) Mh, must be why NL wants to dump these howitzers perhaps. These vehicles have a similar range , and you might mount them inside compounds.
Personally i think for sustained fire from fixed or defensive positions motorised howitsers are cheaper and more effective as long as you have aircontrol, but we would not need quite as many. The new thing (another one of the weaponplatform model)
would also take care of some airdefence, and howitsers would be a sitting duck, ofcourse.
(3) not much more then a 7 person warthog under rotors. With armour very much geared to operational crew, wich is elegant. But i haven't been paying much attention.
I would still think it is possible to gain a tactical advantage through exploiting the assymetrical layout, or basically involve it with more (2 times eg) guided missiles then it numerically carries. Provided a 50% succes rate on such singled out apaches (..) , it would easily pay after an attack or 2.
Still you loose 20-50 firecrews. Although beating a group of them would coordinately promise somewhat better odds. you would have to attack them in a lineair aproach formation though, i assume they go with 3 only when it gets serious,
dunno quite what to do about 3 in a triangle with say only 70 missile launchers, unless they are the very most advanced wich would up the chance of a hit from at most like 5% to perhaps 10-30%, (i can think of cheap systems that would score better in single assaults though, i must assume the western missiles recognise the apache, a rather easy feat..)
(4) I think it is very, very, hard to define who actually is or is not a dictator(i) so i maintain a theoretical concept of the concept, in wich roulation of legislative functions prevents the existence.
(i) I do actually consider every prolonged individualised presidency, dictatorship,
4-5 years(ii) and done. If your country cannot live up to that ceremony something is wrong, from wich follows the state is to authorical to be completely healthy.
(ii) I also like 1-term presidents way more usually. Most people serve best in their last period. Ban ki moon is brave there by trying to serve early.
