Why the internet is a blessing.....

Apparently folks, I'm not done blogging. Or year 11 hasn't gotten into full swing yet.

Theres also a possibility of me refusing to admit that I'm an egotistical bastard who will be attracted to any hint of exposure. Maybe its just the caffiene running through my veins.

But some things just continue to get me pissed.

1.The media.
2.Politicians on which fates of countries supposedly rest
3. US foreign policy
4. Dumbasses on the interweb.

Ok, So the internet has been a blessing for everyone, not just because it has free porn, but because it makes alternate sources more available to the common man, should he so desire.
But of course, the common man is more interested in seeing Britney's Tits than knowing about electrical outages which may affect him. (despite the fact that without electricity, you can't see your own tits, let alone britney's.


So, At 1130 at night, I'm yelling out "WTF ?" and "this is why no one takes the media seriously, or for that matter, trusts it" Because, of the 1100 news bulletin of 3 minutes ,at least 2 was taken up by the fact that Britney Spears has been admitted into a psychiatric hospital.

WHAT THE FUCK ?
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE ?

You put more priority on Britney Spear's health (complete with police cars outside her house) than on the health of people suffering flash flooding and lightning storms ? people who may be trapped or killed?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH EDITORS THESE DAYS ?

It's like this

OMG OMG OMGOMGOMG Britney's GONE CRAZY. Experts say she may blame her mother. ..etc... blah blah blah , O by the way, the railway line to woollongong has been cut off and dozens of people were stranded, but lets get back to Britney, OH, look HEATH LEDGER took drugs...

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS (or the nearest celebrities), and START REPORTING REAL NEWS.

Edit: I actually wrote ASS out of you HEAD, I suppose it makes sense , since you can't tell the difference either way.

Moving On..

Saw a couple of friends move on and upwards today.

While stifling audacious assaults from my ego, I managed to feel proud of them and see that I could now help them in another capacity, with my support. When I'm not being a complete Pain in the Ass.
I mean come on, sometimes they're better than you. And sometimes you have to let go.

Like I'm letting go of blogging.

Yes, turns out my little stint on the interweb is over. (it wasn't much to begin with.)

You might see some rants here and there, but not a flurry of posts.

When they invaded Iraq...

Anyone remember..

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.


And now, for the poorly rhyming...

When the Americans bombed Japan
I remained ignorant
I wasn't Japanese

When they bombed Korea
I remained indifferent
I wasn't Korean

When they bombed Vietnam
I remained silent
I wasn't a commie

When they supported Pinochet
I remained ignorant
I wasn't from Chile

When they invaded Iraq
I remained ignorant
I wasn't Iraqi

When they invaded my country
There wasn't anyone willing to speak, read,fight, for me.

Unembedded Journalism... Why its needed.

I've been reading from Dahr Jamail and it seems with every page i turn i just keep getting more and more pissed.

It has a scathing accusations of the media, principally Judith Miller and Michael Gordon, whom both should have lost their reputations and their jobs for reporting and failing to correct improper Iraq WMD stories.

And the rest of the media for ignoring the blatant truth, that embedding with a military unit only gives you propaganda and lies.
Jamail, Is one of those few jems, who through principle, went to Iraq on his own funds, and started reporting eyewitness accounts of what he saw inside Baghdad.
Quite frankly, Every major newspaper should be syndicating him by now. Yes, his reports are filled with reports of death and destruction. But it's death that the US, Directly or indirectly CAUSED.

We need people like Dahr to go out there and see what the rest of us are too scared to see or even read about. the same is true even for me. I'd rather play a game of freelancer than read his book about the suffering of Iraqi people.

We need alternate sources, particularly because mass media are a bunch of corporate spineless cowards.

Paradise for some, Hell for others.

For a tourist, Singapore has it all.

(well, for a tourist that used to live there)

I mean, come on, Sure there's a death penalty for drugs and they don't like homosexuals.. but I mean come on, No racism, xenophobia, modern, fast, eco friendly, all sorts of food..

Seriously. WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU FIND SATAY IN AUSTRALIA ?
And I don't mean Shish kebab style. I mean Satay with the heart attack inducing peanut sauce.

What about Chicken Rice?
No , you idiot, I don't mean Rice with chicken schnitzel, I mean chicken Rice, with proper sauce and rice.
And Ice Milo ? .. Only in certain corners of Australia can you find it. unlike the other two, which are really good.... REALLY.


Ok, So Its hell for people living here, most of my friends are dying under pressure, those not incredibly gifted (or cheating), report people studying for over 10 hours a day.

I mean seriously.. I'm kinda lucky to be here.. Oh, and did I say, singapore is great.

True blue Aussie Hypocrites.

You know, I realise that I never really paid Attention to the news.
But when i remember that a couple of months ago (in 2007) the bali bombers were given a chance to repent, and a an invitation to the local warden's home for a ramadan meal, Does anyone remember the Outrage behind that ?
you know, the critics calling for their heads, and people saying that they should not do this or that ?

Now, Aren't these the same people, (australians) that tried to lift the death penalty on drug traffickers of the Bali nine ? hmmm ?

Now, let me ask you, what makes a drug trafficker worse than a terrorist ?
A terrorist kills lives, A drug trafficker makes them suffer before they die, ruining a lot more lives in the process.

This revelation (although late) made me realise that no one is immune to large nationwide hypocrisy.

Fucking dumbasses.

So many unheard voices..

You know, with the loud voice of O Rielly and the amusing yet deadly bushisms, we tend to ignore the consistent and persistent, We tend to ignore the voices of reason and peace.

One of them is George Galloway, While I don't like his long winded explanations, It's less full of shit than the pro war politicians.. Remember ? We're fighting them over there so that we don't fight them here ?

He does tend to avoid a few questions, but hey, he's a politician but less full of shit than O Reilly.


Well, that ended well... surprisingly.. Is it because he's Irish...

This is a short excerpt of the response to accusations that he was in saddam's pocket...



Combined with Robert Fisk's first hand journalism and his eloquence, the voices not heard might have a chance.

Don't type wwww.

Seriously, I accidently added a www to my blogspot, and its a CHRISTIAN CONVERSION SITE... really.

So, in the truest tradition of internet spam...
