Let’s Get Ready To Rumble, There is A War Brewing Out There!

Conspiracy theories rarely blow me away but this one did! I have always believed that the Gulf War II was staged on the pretext of oil but could not justify the same with an economic equation. Voila! BBC has done it for me.

Evolution reversed - from humans to being animals!




War has forever bewildered me. The reasons for war are not hard to find but identifying the motive behind waging war is an entirely different thing. I have always been curious to know what runs through the mind of individuals involved in warfare. I know people who loathe eating meat or seeing animals being slaughtered for meat. The human psychology dictates that a sense of compassion is felt toward all lives be it human or animal. If this statement bears true, what makes the human race to be at the forefront of soiling their hands with the blood of their fellows? This question has intrigued me thus far and will continue to do so till I breathe my last.

No war has hit home hard as much as the Middle Eastern conflict between the Arabs and the (rogue) State of Israel. I am guilty as charged for not having the same intense feelings for the Muslims, Tamils and Sinhalese who were plagued and are still continuing to live the harsh after effects of an Ethnic Conflict in Sri Lanka. This statement should not be misunderstood. I feel for my fellow country men from the bottom of my heart and detest the state of affairs of the people living in the IDP camps conveniently forgotten by the people in power. However, there is something in me towards the Middle Eastern conflict that gives it precedence over conflicts in my backyard or other conflicts triggered by invading nations in Iraq or Afghanistan. This feeling can only be felt and is hard to put into words.

The creation of The Rogue State of Israel and the Muslims attitude to the conflict will rarely change. Israel will remain the spoilt child and the Muslim and Christian Arabs will continue to be their toys to play with as they please. Muslims believe that no foreseen change will occur to the essence of the Middle Eastern political affairs till the second coming of Jesus occurs in his mission to reunite earth. This being said in no means justifies the inhuman course of action followed by the Zionist regime and in no means provides an excuse for the Arabs to let themselves be trampled over.

The sentiments felt by Muslims around the world are nothing new to me. The mixture of anger, helplessness and bewilderment on seeing the gory images of slaughtered Arabs that go unpublished are ever too familiar for me. This gave me the impulse to explore the other side of the story, the Zionist outlook on things.

I was first introduced to intelligence warfare by reading the book “By The Way Of Deception" authored by former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky. This book provides an inside account of how the affairs of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and the Israeli Intelligence defies the realms of humanistic behaviour in search of politically backed goals.

The results obtained left me stupefied at the audacity in which the Zionists carefully mapped out their heinous crimes. In no means do we doubt or deny the intelligence of the Jewish people, they have been in the forefront of innovative discoveries in the last two centuries. However, what petrifies me is how such an intelligent people are brainwashed by the Zionist government to fight a war that’s not theirs for a country which was not theirs!

Clicking on this link will take you to the 1st of a 6 part documentary whose production team is 100% Israeli Jewish. I beg you to watch the entire series and not be satisfied with a single part only. Doing the latter will paint a wrong image on your mind and distort your outlook on the Israeli-Arab conflict.

This video details the experiences of six women soldiers and explains how working at the Israeli Military shaped their lives. The intensity of brainwashing and the authority given to the women soldiers over all Arabs young and old, male or female made me wonder what the men folk would be learning from their commandoes at the same camp. This is indeed a question which can be answered but can in no means be justified or explained by the rules of international warfare!

Opressor or the Opressed?



I came across this website sometime ago and liked the balanced approach it presented toward the Israeli – Palestinian conflict. The following words were extracted from one of the comments posted in response to a video shown on the same web page.

I am a Jew (by my mother) and a Tunisian (by my father), French citizen, without any religious belief.

People of my family died during World War 2, and I had no circumcision since many boys in France died because of it (German soldiers identified Jewish boys that way).

When I see what Israel soldiers do, I feel shame. Personally, I never could press the trigger if I knew that my missile will target a crowded area, and when I see the face of these Palestinian kids, I cannot help viewing this old picture of that terrorized Jewish kid in the ghetto of Warsaw, raising his arms with German soldiers laughing in his back.

I do not support Hamas neither, but I feel that Palestinian have no other choice than that.

Once more, Israelis should remember the insurrection of the Warsaw ghetto. In the end, people put gasoline on them and ran towards tanks. They knew that they would be killed anyway, so better die while trying to kill enemies. Don't you feel that, from a Palestinian viewpoint, the Hamas is pretty similar?
/em>em>



As human beings we should stand up against such atrocities and create a balance between identifying a freedom fighter from a terrorist. The key to this is empathy or putting yourself in the shoes of the oppressed. Our safe houses and relatively calm dwellings do not trigger this feeling of empathy and we sit on watching intoxicated by our whims and pleasures.

Sadly Sri Lanka too is undergoing a similar fate where innocent civilians are being slaughtered for the actions of another and the blind masses keep fuelling the war machine to do its destructive deed. We cannot be mere onlookers, but should work towards bringing a voice to the voiceless in every area of conflict!

Open Letter to President Elect Barack Obama by Dr.Mahatir Mohomad.

Each New Year begins with hope and this year is no different. New Year resolutions are made and broken, so are the hopes of people. Barack Obama the most popular symbol of hope this time around is silently counting his steps to the White House. The expectation for change lingers on in a typical year baptized with the blood of innocent people. We can only HOPE that he does not prove himself to be The Typical American President that the world had seen in the recent past.

This is an email I came across which may or may have not originated by the said author. However, the points made stand true and will prove to be critical factors in distinguishing the revolutionary president elect from being a Revolutionary President!

Dear Mr. President,

I did not vote for you in the Presidential Election because I am Malaysian. But I consider myself one of your constituents because what you do or say will affect me and my country as well.
I welcome your promise for change. Certainly your country, the United States of America needs a lot of changes.

That is because America and Americans have become the most hated people in the world. Even Europeans dislike your arrogance. Yet you were once admired and liked because you freed a lot of countries from conquest and subjugation. It is the custom on New Year's day for people to make resolutions. You must have listed your good resolutions already. But may I politely suggest that you also resolve to do the following in pursuit of Change.

1) Stop killing people. The United States is too fond of killing people in order to achieve its objectives. You call it war, but today's wars are not about professional soldiers fighting and killing each other. It is about killing people, ordinary innocent people by the hundreds of thousands. Whole countries will be devastated.

War is primitive, the cavemen's way of dealing with a problem. Stop your arms build up and your planning for future wars.

2) Stop indiscriminate support of Israeli killers with your money and your weapons. The planes and the bombs killing the people of Gaza are from you.

3) Stop applying sanctions against countries which cannot do the same against you. In Iraq your sanctions killed 500,000 children through depriving them of medicine and food. Others were born deformed.
What have you achieved with this cruelty? Nothing except the hatred of the victims and right-thinking people.

4) Stop your scientists and researchers from inventing new and more diabolical weapons to kill more people more efficiently.

5) Stop your arms manufacturers from producing them. Stop your sales of arms to the world. It is blood money that you earn. It is un-Christian.

6) Stop trying to democratize all the countries of the world. Democracy may work for the United States but it does not always work for other countries. Don't kill people because they are not democratic. Your crusade to democratize countries has killed more people than the authoritarian Governments which you overthrew. And you have not succeeded anyway.

7) Stop the casinos which you call financial institutions. Stop hedge funds, derivatives and currency trading. Stop banks from lending non-existent money by the billions. Regulate and supervise your banks. Jail the miscreants who made profits from abusing the system.

8) Sign the Kyoto Protocol and other international agreements.

9) Show respect for the United Nations.

I have many other resolutions for change which I think you should consider and undertake. But I think you have enough on your plate for this 2009th year of the Christian Era.
If you can do only a few of what I suggest, you will be remembered by the world as a great leader. Then the United States will again be the most admired nation. Your embassies will be able to take down the high fences and razor-wire coils that surround them. May I wish you a Happy New Year and a great Presidency.

Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad
(Former Prime Minister of Malaysia)

I would like to quote the very words of the third president of the United States of America

“In matters of taste, swim with the current. In matters of Principle, stand like a rock!”
- Thomas Jefferson:

Is American foreign policy a matter of taste? Or a matter of principle? Only time will tell……..

Oblivious to the suffering triggered by the people of my kind!


The new day dawns so pretty, the sun shines so bright
I woke up to the ceiling, knowing something was not right,
Sat up with a jolt, knowing I had slept in late
Mom shouted “breakfast’s ready”, but I simply could not wait
The studio lay wide open, for me to read the news
To work I rushed at speed, not a moment I could loose

A stack of papers lay before me, microphone pegged on my shirt,
Another day at office to wash off my people’s dirt
I blurted “things are fine, the Palestinians are living well”,
My conscience knowing better that, life for them was a living hell!
No food to feed their stomachs, no medication to treat the sick
No power to run their houses, no fuel to light their wicks

My eyes are open to their suffering, but my lips continue to read…
…the propagandistic notes which they expect me to feed…
…to the people of the world, to keep them groping in the blind,
Oblivious to the suffering triggered by the people of my kind!

“Click” goes the remote, far away on a person’s hand,
A news story greets him, “reports” from the blessed land
For the reporters each word attention strict he pays,
Never thinking beyond his lies, of the suffering Palestinians face
At the end of the news story, which so freely he had bought
“The plight of my fellow people (he thinks), is not bad as I once had thought!”

So “click” goes again, the contraption in his hand,
Let’s watch something “cool”, broadcast on another band
Each song and dance he watches with hands clapped on with glee,
That movie was so “touching”, the match was a delight to see
Oh have we become such fools, to become such easy prey…
to the schemes that have been devised, by the folks who plan our day…
…to be spent in fun and games while forgetting the others plight,
Another day thus ends, as to bed he makes his flight

Hand-cuffed we stand weak, before our masters this “worldly wealth”,
As the evil schemers plan, to bring us down in stealth
This tune if you bear, throughout your life my friend
Their plan will overtake you, and seal your fateful end!
So obey your lord almighty, and help your brothers in need,
Your “duties” do it proper; to the prophets pay good heed
Keep sowing the seeds of love & remove the weeds of vice…
…and book your ranks in heaven, a man destined for paradise!
