Should a Right-wing, reforming government gain power at the next election, it will face the full resistance of the Blob. The 2023 ousting of Dominic Raab is instructive in how this will run, says Dr David McGrogan.

Everyone assumes that words have straightforward meanings. Philosophers because they want them to and politicians because they need them to. But the first law of politics is that words are ambiguous, says James Alexander.

Why staring at goats is a waste of time

category antrim | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Saturday December 04, 2004 00:27author by janice battersby school of charm Report this post to the editors

If we look at capitalist pysch ops/military intelligence martial artists attempts at manifesting and directing bad chi at goats, to stop their hearts etc, theres no doubt these men, may have been highly skilled trained martial artist experts, but alas the consequence of directing and using bad chi, or directing chi with bad intentions, or a selfish greedy capitalist heart is you end up a sad miserable old git who looks like Pat mustard, with the personality, charm, sideboards and moustachio of a sadistic grubby paedophile loser.

Sad capitalist psych ops intelligence have still to learn, that bad chi directed against the poor, will only reflect back against themselves and ultimately lead to bad luck directed back against themselves..

Binky old boy British Special branch chief in Malaysia Evan Davies is testimony to this, a man charged with conducting a very dirty war against chinese communist guerillas in Malayan jungle in the late 1940s and 1950s, is a prime example of this transition into a blithering alcoholic Pat Mustard clone.

Malayan Chinese communist guerillas took just 3 years to defeat Adolfs japanese pals, only to find once they'd done all the work, they'd still have to fight the likes of gin sodden binky old boy brit colonials. 8,000 chinese communist jungle fighters managed to hold off 70,000 brit and mainly muslim forces for 14 years.

It is interesting to see how capitalist psych ops/counter insurgence black ops have evolved through different countries and cultures, in latin american in the 1980s countries such as El salvador, extreme repression, brutality, and widespread terror and torture were used against left wing peasant revolters by capitalist junta forces, acid would be poured onto the faces of villagers habouring and aiding left wing guerillas. Nuns and priests sympathetic to the plight of the poor and peasants would be raped, murdered and disappeared.

These practises have evolved and refined, into psych ops, or basically giving you what you don't want.

The torture is basically involves being bombarded with shite you don't want, and don't like. It doesn't work if you want or like it. Thus pious muslim types in Guantanamo bay are exposed to womens breasts, prostitutes, menstrual blood and progressive cock rock etc as well as conventional torture.

In Vietnam,capitalist juntas would have no such luck breaking the spirit/morale, of the resilient communist viet cong peasants, who couldn't give a monkeys about menstrual blood etc, the flexible viet cong would endure far worse, physical degradation, torture and brutality yet still remain bloodied but unbowed that was and still is the beauty of communism and an undying, absolute devotion,dedication to the love of the poor and the poor alone.

janice battersby - agree with most of what you say, esp the bad karma coming back at you etc. All too true and probably won't be learned even when more terrible things happen.

But the "beauty of communism" ... get real. I used to be the first to stand up and tell people how Cuba was so much better than the US, how at least all the kids were literate and world-aware etc.

Well I am currently working in Romania and I'm sickened by what I see; more than 15 years after the fall of a communist dictatorship, the population are completely deadened by communism. No one has the slightest understanding of how to make anything happen by themselves, they have to have someone else tell them how to do it - anything, from how to manage a store, run a film crew, to making a sandwich - the entire populous is mentally impotent, and has never been taught to think for themselves. Their faces are largely dead from inexpression, their talk is lifeless through fear of raising a voice. How can people help eachother if they can't even help themselves? Its like two one-legged men supporting eachother.

No kidding about helping the poor - most people here will always be poor because they don't have a clue how to dig themselves out of the pit.

Don't fool yourself about the "beauty" of communist governments: they end up just as corrupt as a capitalist state. Why else would the second largest building in the world (after the Pentagon) be a "dream" palace that Romania's leader built for himself, destroying the historical old town to do so?

And the one of the world's most beautiful nature sanctuaries, Danube Delta, was almost completely raped by the "beautiful" communist government's plan to turn it into an industrial and agricultural wasteland.

Communism is a theory. It looks great on paper, especially if you are poor. But the reality of crushing your populations spirit by housing everyone in identical concrete shoeboxes is plain evil. Just as evil as the worst capitalist regimes. In fact maybe more so - because you never get a chance to speak your mind, you end up not having a mind.

Get on a plane; from Bucharest to Belgrade you'll find millions of people who will never reach anything close to their proper human potential. All residue from past communist governments.

And drop your idea of communism as anything approaching beautiful. It was just another bad experiment.

There was of course massive desertion from the Vietcong..moreover some turned and became Kit Carson scouts for the United States.
