A New Year Resolution

Refuse to be terrorised. Send this to your elected officials:

I am not afraid of terrorism, and I want you to stop being afraid on my behalf. Please start scaling back the official government war on terror. Please replace it with a smaller, more focused anti-terrorist police effort in keeping with the rule of law. Please stop overreacting. I understand that it will not be possible to stop all terrorist acts. I accept that. I am not afraid.

We don’t talk to evil

We don’t talk to evil:

“On an unusually warm morning in Washington, D.C., last spring,” writes Joshua Kurlantzick, “Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stood before a pack of reporters for a briefing, one of Africa’s most notorious dictators at her side.” The man she praised as “a good friend” was Teodoro Obiang, who has ruled Equatorial Guinea through two decades of torture and terror while claiming that he has “permanent contact with the Almighty” and therefore can “kill anyone without being called to account.” The moment was a victory of sorts for the PR firm of Cassidy and Associates, which has been paid $120,000 per month since 2004 to overhaul the country’s image. According to PR industry observer Kevin McCauley, countries with image problems have beefed up their PR efforts, inspired in part by the example of Saudi Arabia, which paid Qorvis Communications $14 million a year to perfume its reputation following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Killing Moslems Makes Them Angry And Possibly Even Violent, Says Report

No comment required. From Tom Burka…. 

The British Institute Of Brilliance And Uncommon Foresight announced in its Annual Report today that killing, maiming, and dismembering members of Moslem families “irritates surviving family members to no end.”

“It can make them violent, extremely so, even to the point of forming themselves into quasi-military or terrorist organizations and vowing to get even,” explained Hugh Wensleydale, a Senior Prognosticator of BIABOBAUF.

“We discovered that invading their countries and depriving them of basic freedoms and control of their own future also pisses them off a great deal,” he added.

These considerations were overlooked in planning the war and the larger war against terrorism “of which your self-installed leader speaks frequently,” said Wensleydale, who claimed not to be British at all, but merely something resembling Welsh, he said.

Wensleydale said that the study by he and the other “Brilliantists” explains why Al Queda’s ranks are now swelling as a consequence of America’s war.

“But only really amazing geniuses, truly monumental intellects the like of which this world has not seen for millennia — such as ourselves — could have foreseen so inexplicable an outcome,” said Wensleydale.
