THE ENEMIES OF MY FRIENDS ARE MY ENEMIES….EVEN IF …..

Posted by criticned on April 18, 2009

During my recent visit to Middle East I followed three axes of events

Axes 1:

  1. George Mitchell visit to Middle East.
  2. Netanyahu announces rejection of the peace strategy based on the co-existence and creating of 2 states.

Axes 2:

  1. Morocco cuts it diplomatic ties with Iran
  2. Egypt accuses Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Qatar and of course above all the Muslim Brotherhood, of planning attacks on Egypt

Axes 3:

  1. Iran convicts an American Spy in court.

Were all the above a welcoming party for George Mitchell …..

Egypt claims reminds me of those of the Bush administration in 2002 when they accused The Qaeda of Collaboration with Sadam Hussein to attack American interests; yet I recall that Cairo vexed such allegations based on the conflict in ideology between Hussein and the Qaeda. If that was the case then, how can the Muslim Brotherhood (Sunni) co-operate with Hezbollah (Shiite), and Qatar (Sunnis) cooperate with Iran (Shiites).

This is a very wide allegation and I believe that Egypt has lined up all America’s  opposition on one tray during the welcoming party of Senator Mitchell, for him to select; while withering the Muslim Brotherhood comfortably.

This media portion of the covert operation is also to hide the failure of the strategic choice of the Arabs in its negotiation with Israel. In addition, Hezbollah operative held by Cairo shall be part of the exchange deal to the recently American convicted spy in Iran….

I think Cairo is trying to score its first favor with Obama’s administration, as well as gaining leverage and staying in the game while Tehran-Washington are just commencing their first talks and recognitions.

The Vehicle Roles and the Dogs Bark

Posted by criticned on April 9, 2009

I have been trying to visualise the political landscape in South Africa without the presence of ANC, and I came up with a shocking discovery….The other parties (DA and COPE) would have nothing to provide that country, as there will be nothing to moan about, instead of working.

The South African Parties (COPE AND DA) are wasting huge amount of money and efforts on the war on ANC and Zuma rather than providing any tangible or trustworthy competition and alternatives….they are politically bankrupt to the extent they can only launch hatred campaigns.

I was observing the South African media for past 2 days with astoundment to the level of legal and constitutional ignorance of most of the presenters and most of their guests, where everyone says “but Zuma should answer to those charges”….since when the onus is on the accused to prove, it is the prosecutor that has to prove beyond reasonable doubt (in criminal cases) and by balance of possibilities in civil case…..I repeat; if it is criminal charges it has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt….where is this in the Zuma case?….more so the prosecutor is saying I cannot win because I cannot achieve conviction with ” beyond reasonable doubt”; yet everyone goes to Zuma to ask him to still defend himself…..

Also I support the fact that the local media is biased against Zuma, any blind person can see it where some channels are just pouring hatred…..Please note that it is an election year and Parties have to draw up better plans to convince the voters they are the best and can do for the masses better than Zuma…..

When a party or person is politically bankrupt, it or he can do nothing except barking at successful passers….

Wake up COPE and DA, I am sure you can do better than that;l otherwise appear busy….

THESE ARE THE HEADLINES…

Posted by criticned on January 11, 2009

Head-lines

Funny enough that the people in Arab’s peninsula and in the North Africa, and Palestine consider the Israeli / Palestinian conflict to be the core issue, while the world see it as a bullet among several headlines….the destiny of 300 million depressed and unproductive people is summerised in one bullet in a headline only..……they are equivalent in importance to “finding the mother of abounded baby” while in one missile strike 40 child and baby were and are killed….

This says that the media is not interested in showing the real gravity of massacre and the gravity of brutality the Israeli criminal war machine is doing…thus I believe that the mainstream media is culprit to the criminal apartheid regime of Israel….

I hope the Arabs can see how others are  observing them through the eyes of the  media…..

Some of the losers are still talking about peace and strategic choices while others are calling for truce while the blood, the despair, the destiny and  the future of the  people in Middle East is summarized in one headline….

Have fun Mr. Abbas, as well as your supporters…you are a pure sycophants…..

Just one thing I wanted to say….one of the MACs of  the fast food series has donated yesterday income to the Israeli War machine what did the 300m Arab people donate except depression and passiveness………..

A TALE OF TWO LADIES

Posted by criticned on December 29, 2008

Mrs. Bush and Ms Rice are trying to convince the world and the US how brilliant and advanced is Mr. Bush Jr. ….to the extent that we cannot understand his actions now but in generations to come and people of USA shall be so grateful…..what a paradox!!!!!

The Enigma Mr. Bush Jr. is leaving the white house and everything is in shambles and yet we shall not understand now, but in years to come…

Just sitting and throwing my shoulders to the back and think of the world, I cannot disagree on more in life than those statements of the Mrs(s)……

If the actions of Mr. Bush Jr. are so brilliant why does he need people to defend…acts and successes talk for themselves… To make it short and sweet just READ THIS—>….

TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG THAT IS THE QUESTION….

Posted by criticned on December 17, 2008

I went through my articles on the blog….I have to admit the blogging has enabled a huge community to be able to express they their hobby and pronounce their opinions. I am thankful to the blogging technology for that and thankful for the people whom I criticized for their ability to accept criticism.

It is one thing to be a critic and another to be engaged in the action. Criticism sometimes is a leisure that the criticized does not have …..He is too busy doing what he is doing, whether right or wrong….

Yet we go on bragging about his actions and doings, while he is never concerned or even read….

I always think what is it that we need to do to make blogging more engaging and effective in global opinions…the problem is the majority of the internet population are using the net in matters that either are directed by main stream media, or emails or for nefarious activities that mainly consume time.

Also the dilution of the blogging sites on the net does not allow the focusing or the effectiveness of the blog voice. We have also to remember the main stream media is more powerful especially outside the States than inside it.

This also bring on the discussion the question: is the net advocating freedom of speech?…..is it part of the globalization?….most of the autocratic governments have adjusted its operations and laws to inflict oppression on the net users, in a similar manner like that they apply in their every day life. Some of the countries follow daily activities on the net to uproot any demonstrations, gatherings, oppositions opinions….etc….they have adjusted so well and thanks to uncle Bush who was the first one that used security as a reason to invade privacy and freedom of speech…..most of the 3rd world leaders used his excuses so brilliantly to the extent that half of the bloggers and e-activists are in jails or held pending judgment. I shall abstain from giving examples that most of the readers know otherwise I shall become and e-parrot.

Sarkozi, and THE NEW COLDWAR’S FRONT?

Posted by criticned on August 24, 2008

In the latest ministers meeting of August 23rd 2008, Putin urged for a new strategic development plan to meet the anticipated challenges which the national economy may confront in the near future and till 2020.

At the same time I watched the act and plays of the Georgian president’s Mikheil Saakashvili media warfare using the CNN and BBC as his battle field. He is diluting the fact that he is the aggressor on South Ossetia, while portraying himself as the victim….

“Misha” is the youngest president ever been in power in that part of the world, but does this mean he can act irresponsibly and yet be forgiven. he went into a full attack on an armless South Estonia, and where Russian Peace Keepers are entrusted with peace, without assessing the possibilities of full retaliation; or did he overestimate the USA support?.

If Georgian President has overestimated the USA current abilities and power, then he is too naive to govern…he should understand the USA shall not go for a full confrontation when its aggressive plan for spreading long range missile shield is not yet completed, or while it is busy internally with election and its economy is in shambles.

The admittance of the Georgian Young president on the CNN that he never expected such magnanimous retaliation, brings a question if “Misha” is conscious of the size of his army to that of Russian, and is he aware of Georgia’s Importance on energy and strategy maps!!!?

It is also necessary to ask, if the Georgian President was forced to such position, in anticipation that the eclipse of Bush regime may put him in the shadow for some long time?. I believe, for such strategic miscalculation, which brought destruction on Georgia, the Georgian President ought to be ousted and tried for war crimes and mis-governance.

It seems for the eyes of Mr. Bush and his petro-money a lot of world leaders are ready to put their desteny on the line , either unconsciously or consciously, one of Which is Mr. Sarkozi who is interfereing on issues by proxy for Bush, either in the middle east, Southern Africa or recently in Russia. I shall abstain from discussing Mr. Sarkozi personal life, yet it reflect in some aspects immature behavior; but I would like to ask is this is the same france that confronted a Nazi under Charles de Gaulle, now is rolling under the feet of USA lead by the SARKOZI. Where is the French legacy, History and Culture under Sarkozi?

Was Mr. Sarkozi aware of the history of the coldwar, when he rushed trying to break a “quick fix it” sieze fire and peace treaty between the Russian and Georgia, was he ware that he is trying to diffuse a new cold war that has been brewing since Bush came with his plans for Star War and the abolition of missile treaty . it is shameful that the once great France under De Gaulle and Georges Pompidou, is now underdog for USA.

What are we having now!!!

Posted by criticned on July 19, 2008

I am watching with dismay all what is happening in the world now….since the questioned electio of Mr. Bush Jr. the world is no more the same….it is an old piece of news what I am arguing here, but I am not very optimistic about the election of Obama….it is unprecedented that 80% whites elects the black boy of Kenya to be the president of the strongest country in the world, I am yet to see that, as my wondering mind goes into rampage. The bush family, its supporters and benefactors have been always in control of the main stream media, which polished Obama to the extreme….it is like feeding and growing a lamb before slaughtering him….Honestly I am very pessimistic…I hope this election process will not end up with the republicans on top of the American institutions again; after cooking the lamb over the election plate…..anyway, there is always tomorrow to see.

Sometimes I asked myself what would have come upon the world if Algore has become the president of the USA, for sure more winds of peace would have blown all over the world, due to the healthy environment that he would have persuade…anyway …. it is a ll a bunch of weighed possibilities that is how the world is formed…

When you go in any street in Africa now they have a big dreams about Obama, some which nears the myth of Robin Hood….I fail to agree….the African Americans struggled for generations to bring a black person to the administration, and when they succeeded they ended with Ms Rice!!!! what a nightmare …..

Another issue that suddenly came on the international scene, it the issue of Zimbabwe… and uncle Bob fierce resistance to international interference in his internal issues and the challenge to country sovereignty….

I am surprised how the main stream media always fails to mention how the crisis started during the early nineties , when UK failed to honour its treaty and agreement with Zimbabwe to compensate the little country, and using the gay rights as a reason for evasions of its responsibilities….

However a person that looks deeper in the current Zim crisis, would also question the role of the South African main stream media (mainly controlled by European descents). As if this crisis and the torment that Zim is enduring to just to frighten the neighboring reluctant South Africa away from the land reform initiatives….

Zim has no Oil, no strategic location; it has no challenging military power, it has nothing rather limited fertile soil mainly controlled by white and some mining activities, yet it shares borders and history with America’s African Jewel; South Africa!!…..thus the more international “diplomatic” Terror is focused on ZIM it would horify fragile, yet ambitious, South Africa. it would for sure delay transformation of mining industry and land reforms which are the main sources of income to the country and mainly controlled by the white minority of 7% percent of the population….I just remembered that the main stream media also has also conveniently forget to mention that the whole wealth of Zim was concentrated in the hands of 1% of the population before the start of the Crisis…how can 1% of the population control more than 90% of the wealth of a nation and yet they feel safe….especially when it is also coupled with ethnic major differences?!!!!!.

Anyhow…days are yet to deliver…

Means and Deeds

Posted by criticned on February 17, 2008

Aljazeera network reported that a car license plate bearing the registration number “1″ was sold to a business man from the Emirates for the value of U.S.$14,200,000. At this point I am not sure whether I should carry on or just blow my head off…..anyhow I resorted to carry on …..this license plate was sold in an auction conducted under theauspices of the Traffic Department of Emirate, where about 100 businessmen were competing for the procurement of the same item. Aljazeera also reported that the auction returns were to be utilized to build a hospital in Emirate…..the preceding were the main contents of the report and I have to stop there and then ……

Surely jealousy is a sin, but it seems also that ” Love thy neighbor” has become also a sin…..imagine a Palestinian teenager, from Gaza strip, read or heard such article in the news, while he is trying to tighten belt further to his belly to restrain the hunger noises coming out of it……or an Iraqi girl that is laying in a dirty corner of her half ruined house crying from hunger and an open wound that may leave her dead in no time…..or a jobless man on the streets of Beirut pondering, how shall he pay school fees and cater for his family while all his fat cats politicians are debating which banquet should they honor first, the American ambassador’s own or that of the French……when turning these images in my head , I only came one conclusion which is “love thy stupid neighbor ” is a sin.

Emirate is only 2 countries away from Iraq, Lebanon and the Gaza strip….how can such people become so reckless and nonsensitive to such perplexing level…..I cannot find more words ….so I decided to put such image in front of your eyes and thank Heavens that I am not an Arab. SHAME ON THEM ALL, with no exception.

Freedom of E-Speech – “without prejudice”

Posted by criticned on December 30, 2007

I came across an article from Fox News about police brutality in Egypt. What amazed me is not the brutality of the police but the e-brutality towards the Mr Wael Abbas who published a video clip using You Tube platform, exposing police brutality….Mr. Abbas’s site was closed down and the video clips where removed, for showing such incidents, the question is, were Mr. Abbas and the people whom he repreent on the vidue clips oppressed twice?

Under Globalization, free of e-speech is a must, if we need to take the world to better place- as claimed- other wise the ordinary person shall turn to a subject living on a need to know basis. Another question that jumps to my mind by analogue is, if a person is reporting a crime and another entity obliterated such report, does that entity become a accomplice in the crime? Did You Tube and alike have become accessory to such brutality in an e-way? please advise…

The wondering mind of,

Ned
