Man Chokes on Sugar, War and Spiders

Unfortunately, I can’t embed any of these videos because the SOAD/Sony channel has that disabled. Lame.

Serj (lead vocals) always reminds me of David Yow from The Jesus Lizard, another amazing small club act. Of course, reminds me of Yow without the nudity or drunkenness. But the performance aspect is totally there.

System Of A Down – War?

Dark is the light,
The man you fight,
With all your prayers, incantations,
Running away, a trivial day,
Of judgment and deliverance,
To whom was sold, this bounty soul,
A gentile or a priest ?
Who victored over, the Seljuks,
When the holy land was taken

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

Was it the riches, of the land,
Powers of bright darkness,
That lead the noble, to the East,
To fight the lord

We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens
We will fight the heathens, We will fight the heathens

We must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, they’re the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it, destroy it, destroy it.
No International security,
No Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill a man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his God,
His child, partisan brother of war,

Of war, we don’t speak anymore,
Of war, we don’t speak anymore,
Of war, we don’t speak anymore,
Of war, we don’t speak anymore,

Terrorist Algebra

I don’t have the time right now to do all of the research, but specific data won’t undermine the premise of this post.

If it takes 20 Palestinian “terrorists” to kill an Israeli, does this mean the Palestinians are really bad at terrorism? I’m the last guy to justify violence by anyone but the math simply does not add up. 7,000+ rockets over 8 years, but only 20 Israeli fatalities. Contrast that with thousands of Palestinians who have died at the hands of Israeli force during the same period.

Typically, we assume a single rocket (like a single terrorist/suicide bomber) to be capable of harming or killing more than one person. To the layman, or someone educated by the western media, 7,000 rockets is synonymous with at least 7,000 deaths. The facts don’t bear this out. And when one looks at these pathetic rockets, it’s a wonder they haven’t killed more than 20 some people by what can only be called sheer random chance.

Contrast that with American made bombs. The per bomb death totals, even the aggregate totals are never revealed. How many bombs will Israel drop on Gaza? How many people will die?

Obviously, I have sympathies for the Palestinians. I also have sympathies for Israelis. There are ways these conflicts can be solved without violence. But as long as the killing is distorted as justice, such resolutions will never become possible.

One positive outcome of this recent mass slaughter in Gaza, is that the world is re-aligning against dramatic and massive use of military force. Shock and awe is giving way to shock and horror.

As the global depression deepens, it’s important for those of us who would champion liberty to remind everyone that declining prosperity has definitely come at the expense of military adventurism, empire and conquest for the elites.

Every war starts with a lie

Sunk by the German U-20, the Lusitania was blockade runner carrying munitions

Sunk by the German U-20, the Lusitania was a blockade runner carrying munitions under the guise of transporting civilians.

Certainly every modern democratic war is contrived.

Iraq – WMDs, 9/11
Vietnam – Gulf of Tonkin
WWII – Pearl Harbour, Reichstag fire

And now, WWI. The sinking of the Lusitania exposed for what many always believed it was. Yet another false flag.

Her sinking with the loss of almost 1,200 lives caused such outrage that it propelled the U.S. into the First World War.

But now divers have revealed a dark secret about the cargo carried by the Lusitania on its final journey in May 1915.

Munitions they found in the hold suggest that the Germans had been right all along in claiming the ship was carrying war materials and was a legitimate military target.

Millions dead, trillions in destroyed prosperity and capital. What democracy has done is make the killing more efficient, more destructive and evil.

But then, it should come as no surprise because we know that democracy is the tie that binds socialism and fascism together. The two sides of the coin that is democracy.
