Ghadaffi's Trojan Horse

This stuff really deserves to be in italics.

Obama's first speech to the UN General Assembly will be well reported and quoted and commented upon today and perhaps for years to come.

If you want to read the transcript of what Obama said in his maiden speech to the UN
here's the transcript : http://www.nowpublic.com/world/obama-s-un-general-assem...ripts

After he finished reading his speech someone else had the joy of making their maiden speech to a UN general assembly, the 64th session to be precise.

The man who never went away and still lives in a tent Colonel Muammar Al-Qadhafi took the podium with a copy of the UN charter in his hand and was supposed to speak for a mere 20 minutes. We mostly appreciate that the average concentration span of humans pretty much depends on the generation they belong to. It is quite plausible that most first time voters in the forthcoming Lisbon 2 referendum in Eire can't concentrate beyond the average TV advert break, but their elders of the average age of the diplomats and bods in the UN assembly still stick with the twenty minute average rule .

The man who never went away is being reported today as ranting and raving for over an hour and a half. Most of the English language transcripts of what he said are available to browse on the internet from sites which are kindly forewarned by Mozilla and Google as being bad for your computer's health.

The original arabic transcript may be read here : http://www.jananews.ly/Index.aspx?Language=1

You may listen to his speech in arabic (& he really was speaking quickly) here if you have real player installed on your computer :

If you don't have real player installed on your computer, don't install it - it's one step above malware.

If you made that mistake (installing real player) years ago simply because you wanted to watch RTE video reports then you can also enjoy a video of the Colonel's speech in arabic with the dubbed official UN Libyan interpreter's subtitles here :

If you want to read the first transcript distributed on non-commercial or non-malware internet of the speech (& the version which is being worked on together with the original at Libya's jananews site for translation into other languages) then you can go here :

but please note that there is still a problem with word order, a general difficulty when translating semitic languages into latin based, germanic or slavic languages or for all I know - the very special gaeilge and euskera. For the most part you can get around the transcript's word order problem by supposing he was speaking Yoda style. More importantly you have to wonder about the first person. The UN statement uses "we" the initial transcripts use "I". that's grammatically known as the difference between singular and plural in English but in semitic languages may also include the impersonal "one".

Much of the media industrial complex are paying more attention to what he wore (robes with an african shaped pin over his heart coz he's currently head of the African Union and what he did with the UN charter) despite the fact that he's been wearing that Africa shaped heart pin for the last year and has been photographed wearing it on suits, robes, but not pjyamas next to such wonders as Sarkozy, Berlusconi and the prime minister of Tunisia whose name needs no mention. Our western commercial press also highlight these titbits of the 1h36 minutes :-

:: he slapped the UN charter down on the podium for dramatic effect several times.

:: He then threw the UN charter over his shoulder!

:+: He then asked the UN assembly who had killed JFK (John FitzGerald Kennedy) [a president of the USA back when the KKK didn't admit catholics and neoNazi movements didn't use the celtic cross as a symbol.] {he was a very popular president, so popular indeed that Marilyn Monroe shagged him and many Irish familes put his picture on their walls}. Colonel Muammar Al-Qadhafi
was probably being rhetorical when asking that question and not alluding to anything in particular.

:: he congratuled Mr Obama and said that Africa is proud one of its descendents is president of the USA. (conveniently ignoring the fact that we are all descended from Africans and thus every US president has been too. Unless they were shape-shifting reptiles. I don't know. You'd have to get up close to one and check out their pupils or at least wave some live bait like a mouse in front of their mouth & see how they react.
__________________________________________________________________________

All these highlights and reports when compared and contrasted with the previous speech of the current UN general assembly (that of Obama) suggest several things to the sort of individual who would be watching this century's karpov/kasparov clash.....

.....from sadly obvious things to cleverly insightful stuff......

here is a list of some of the things his actions and speech suggested :-

* he was showing disdain for the charter and being dramatic in a way reminiscent of Kruschev's banging his shoe incident.

* he was pissed off because the NYC authorities tried to apply their planning permission and dwelling by-laws to his tent despite the fact that as a head of state visiting the UN he is supposed to be accorded inviolability .

* he was off his head on drugs.

* he was in sharp contrast to Obama not actually reading a well honed speed and out to impress the thronged hall with his oratory but was instead in ad-lib mode. (ad-lib mode of course can come across as ranting, raving, free-association, einfall, pillow talk or slip of the tongue)
{ I personally favour slip of the tongue followed by rant, rave, free association and then pillow talk }

- of course we could add "double entendre" to that last list.

* he was in fact enjoying every moment of his maiden appearance but highly conscious that a load of the more VIP delegates (such as the US Hillary Clinton) had left the room as soon as he got up to speak.

if you're interested in news in any sort of way ranging from casual user to completely dependent addict, you will probably know that Colonel Muammar Al-Qadhafi (as we know him now so as not to confuse him with Gadaffi the bad bloke from before) called for

* an end to the Security Council veto.

* true equality amongst states just like it's supposed to be.

* mentioned that there have been 65 wars since the UN began which occured because of the geopolitical game playing of the UN security council permanent members; USA, USSR/Russia, UK, China & France.

that was & is the kernal which explains what the leader of Libya was on about.

Obama towards the end of his speech said "sixty-five years ago, a weary Franklin Roosevelt spoke to the American people in his fourth and final inaugural address. After years of war, he sought to sum up the lessons that could be drawn from the terrible suffering and enormous sacrifice that had taken place. “We have learned,” he said, “to be citizens of the world, members of the human community.”
The United Nations was built by men and women like Roosevelt from every corner of the world — from Africa and Asia; form Europe to the Americas. These architects of international cooperation had an idealism that was anything but naive — it was rooted in the hard-earned lessons of war, and the wisdom that nations could advance their interests by acting together instead of splitting apart."

The leader of Libya, who also leads the African Union and who has cut deals with the UK and welcomed Berlusconi to open motorways in his state is not the same man who was once a pariah.

He's now ascended to the stage where we merely take the piss out of his speeches.

& of course they get edited down properly afterwards.

Here you can read the simple condensed polite sanitised and boulderised version of his speech from the UN

the little red light meant he had gone over time when he asked who killed JFK. hence that ? is not in the official summary.

Dictators spend hours and hours talking because they fear the questions of us normal people.
