Special Feature: Daniel Lewin and 9/11

Greetings. I figure since I'm approaching the bloated hit-count of 500, I'm going to start posting a few radical conspiracy theory ideas for the sake of it. But first, the news.

Port Security and Muqtada

Happy Day of Rest and Chilling folks,

A little editorial (I rarely do these) before we move on to the news roundup. What's up with the Shi'ites these days? We have Muqtada Al-Sadr in Iraq meeting with Sunnis...Iran and Syria announcing they are long lost brothers in war against the U.S. and more rumours of "the Ummah" coming together in a magical moment of pan-Islamic Brotherhood....Get over it people.

It's going to take a lot more than a handful of Shi'ite clerics calling for unity to bring together the hopelessly shattered Ummah of the days of the Prophet (pbuh). Stretching from Morocco in the West to as far as Indonesia to the East (and Russia to the North) with a couple major problems in between (like India...), this random gathering of countries have far too many squabbling differences in culture, language and ideas for the future of Islam than one can count.

So what should be done? I think the big thing the divided Ummah should do is take control of itself first. Corrupt regimes in Saudi Arabia and Egypt need to be brought within the circle of influence that Iran, Syria and soon Iraq are falling under. These three countries have already done what all the Arab Leagues and OPECs have failed to do, which is call for something higher than simple economic ties, but a common goal of pan-Islamic brotherhood...that regardless of the minor differences or even the gap between Shi'ites and Sunnis, they have a common allegiance to each other. And that's respectful.

But as long as the Israel-American Alliance continues to make bolder steps into Muslim lands (and we the people let them do so...), the longer and more difficult road to unity will be. So unite now brothers and sisters ! The time to literally draw a line in the sand has come.

And now the news.

Tens of Thousands of People Protest the Cartoons in Pakistan
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4718958.stm


So to editorialize...while we teenagers and twentysomethings party and work ourselves to death, the elder generation of our parents plot to destroy half the world through war and sanctions. The U.S.-Israeli Alliance continues to seduce governments like France to their cause of world hegemony, while Iran continues to play nuclear war games, China plots to overthrow U.S. hegemony, and pretty much everyone else, including my beloved Canada, sits and crosses their fingers hoping nobody pulls the trigger first.

It's depressing folks, but as a reporter, it's my duty to give you the straight truth and let yourself decide on A. what to think B. how to act.

And you can't do Step B without doing Step A. Make up your own mind, and take sides because before you know it....

Someone's going to fire that first shot, whether you're looking or not.

And if you're old and sober enough to remember 9/11, someone did fire the first shot.

Agenda For February

Theres a lot of shit going on in the world at the moment. As previously covered, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Palestine, etc. are all their own individual slices of important shit, but hey, i'm just one guy.

My own tastes focus strictly on American politics cuz they are the most banal and over-the-top and soap-operaish...and because mostly of all the war movies i've seen, i feel a direct affinity towards U.S. Military troops.

In any case, the following posts for February will focus on exactly two stories :

1) Iraq.
No, not the usual everyday bombings but developments that directly affect either the average soldier on the ground or the average Iraqi. Which will usually mean developments on the political front and how the new Iraqi government will take form and take control of the war effort, and possibly avoid a civil war. Also, developments on the U.S. side of things which means W and the Republicrats and all that crap.

p.s. lots of fuckin nice pictures too, i promise.

2) The N.S.A. Leak Story

I'll cover this as well because this story has the very definite and real possiblity of ending this President and Administration's reign of terror and bloodshed and in one fell swoop, have the whole lot thrown in prison too. Keep your eyes, readers, on both these stories, if nothing else, because they will frame the debate of the true leaders of the United States, and because the NSA is just so damn cool and scary at the same time. Spies make me horny.

So stay tuned...
