It’s a grey day. The threat or the promise of rain - depending on how you see it.
Kevin Rudd - our foreign minister - disgusted by the proposition put forward by the Iranian representative that the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centre was not the work of Moslem extremists, walks out of the U.N.
President Obama voices measured outrage.
What’s wrong with this picture is the thousands of American citizens - pilots, engineers, demolition experts, you name it, - who have investigated the attacks and who have come to the same conclusion.
It could not have happened in the way that the official story portrays it.
It’s difficult to accept that the ‘powers that be’ would or could be party to unmitigated evil, however it’s now a fairly accepted view, along with George Bush’s theft of elections, that the U.S.A. is a sham democracy and that American Values have just become Corporate Interest.
Gulf of Mexico? Incredible that this has completely dropped out of the news. It’s as if it never was.
Recovery in the U.S.? The only recovery is within the monopoly game of the stock market - an area notorious for parasitic expression and a pigs-wallow of unregulated behaviour.
And - still here and still divided - the poor bloody Palestinians.
The state of the world is somehow both focussed and mirrored within this conflict.
How can you have ‘Peace Talks’ when Israel continues to build settlements on continuously stolen land.
This is the local village bully setting rules which the rest of humanity would never accept but somehow do as long as it’s not in their village.
This is madness masquerading as sanity.
Is this really the dreadful end result of a group of people who claim Divine Connection by virtue of nothing more than a set of beliefs and which beliefs bring misery to the world by double dealing and forked tongue.
Why didn’t they just stick to the Spirit of the Ten Commandments which aren’t particularly Divine if a strong and stable society is the desired result.
We wouldn’t be in this mess if it weren’t for this sense of difference.
First day of my break. Life goes on.
In different societies, in different parts of the world, babies laugh and cry with an equal number of senses through which to experience the world. To suggest that there’s a difference here is absurd.
So where does the difference lie?
We’re all special aren’t we? ...... or not one of us is.
Or both and more.
