Good Times

Someone brought this video of Iranian punishments to my attention. It's a good- if horrifying- example of the dangers of a Muslim theocracy. This news of Israel blocking Jewish Israelis off from accessing certain parts of Jerusalem isn't any more comforting.

The World Doesn't Revolve Around Gaza...

...it revolves around Africa. In the realm of death tolls, anyway. Next time some ignorant jerkoff pulls out the "there's a holocaust going on in Gaza" card, show them this chart comparing the total death toll of the conflict to the death toll of the genocides in Darfur, Sudan, and the violence in the Congo. It'll shut them up in a hurry.

It also looks like the UN is either suffering a world-class case of denial or has been hijacked by the Islamic states. This draconian resolution criminalizing all criticism of Islam should certainly arouse criticism throughout the international community, but I'm not holding my breath.

I've also been making a lot of posts over at the UC system-wide online newspaper CollegeTimes. If you want to hear more from yours truly, just pop on over and search for articles with my name as the author (that's Tinct, folks).

Hurt Me Good, Infidel

If Hamas and Israel were a couple, they'd have a BDSM sex life. And I'm not sure which one is the glutton for pain.

World War IV Will Be Fought With Rocks and Sticks...

My eyes will be following Netenyahu a lot in the months to come, perhaps more than others. Now that Iran has enough uranium to build a nuke, as reported by the UN and the US military, I want to know what Israel, who (should) understands what a nuke in the hands of a radical Islamic regime means far too well, plans to do about it. And everyone knows the whole point of their nuclear program is to obtain a nuclear bomb.

The situation reminds me of the time Israel ran an air raid on Hussein's nuclear reactor; the world screamed bloody murder at them for so many years until Hussein invaded Kuwait. And then Israel was a hero. Unfortunately, Ahmadinejad has learned from Hussein's mistakes; the Tehran reactor is now underground, which makes an air raid almost ineffective. I wonder if the Israeli secret service has a secret program dedicated to training super soldiers in the art of espionage and sabotage? How does the moniker Metal Gear Mossad strike you folks?

Given what Ahmadinejad screams almost on a daily basis- death to America, death to Israel, death to Jews, yadda yadda- it really disturbs me that he's gotten this far with the reactor. Something's happened to today's world leaders. Somewhere in the last 20-some years, the words "backbone" and "moral fiber" disappeared from world leaders' vocabularies.

We all know what Obama's thinking about this; pay Ahmadinejad a visit, flash a peace sign, elicit a promise of no nukes from him, and the situation's handled. So like he's been in every other important situation of national security since January 20th, Obama will be useless and will probably make things even worse. Meanwhile, China and Russia are in bed with Iran, the entire Middle East (save Israel) doesn't have the balls/is happy about it, and the UK is swiftly becoming a mirror political image of the Middle East (save Israel). South America is either too poor or too busy praising Iran. So that leaves one go-to guy as far as I can see.

Netenyahu, it's all on you. Don't wuss out on us now; I never got to go to Paris.

Durban II

Obama's administration is pulling out of Durban II the same way a hormonal frat jock reluctantly pulls out of a cheerleader he's just learned is underage. Yes, we keep it classy around here.

Obama was recently planning to help freedom-loving countries like Venezuela and Iran plan the anti-Semitic feeding frenzy, but he's apparently come to his senses once it became apparent it was impossible to sway the leaders of the Durban conference from their anti-Semitic agenda. The US has now joined Israel and Canada in boycotting the sham of a conference, and European nations are expected to follow.

Preparations for a draft document have shown Iran is leading a small group of nations moving to block a number of Jewish protections- including mention of the Holocaust- while at the same time moving to make it a crime to criticize Islam. The conference is also promising to be viciously anti-Western.

Obama Wants His Motherfucking Stimulus Package

You'll excuse the lack of updates. Things have been a little crazy lately; I'm spread very thin at the moment.

But Obama swearing like a motherfucker? Love him or hate him (I don't like the guy), you have to listen to this.

And because I know you want it, here's the dance remix.

The Peace Anthem for the Israel-Palestinian Conflict...

It's so simple. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? I laughed, and you will, too, or your money back.

Tim Minchin reminds me of a sober blonde Jack Sparrow. Who is #^@*ing amazing at the piano.

In mermaid news, I'm glad to hear gold medalist times eight Michael Phelps won't be facing charges for that stupid photo of him hitting a bong. There much more important issues for our law system to tackle right now. A 20-something year old taking a hit of weed is not one of them.

A Ripe Old Age

Flogging Molly finally released the video to their 2008 hit "Float". Amazing piece of animation. Give it a looksee.

People Wonder Why I Don't Like the Pro-Palestinian Side...

...so I show them this, and they ignore it anyway. It wouldn't be especially disconcerting if there hadn't been like 80+ identical scenarios since the start of Operation Cast Lead.

I'm all for liberating the Palestinians from Hamas. Get Hamas out of the equation and things will get simpler. But for some reason, pro-Israelis who want peace get more flak than pro-Palestinians who throw eggs, bottles, and tear gas grenades at people whom they disagree with.

Welcome to 2009

School's back in session, went to a pro-Israel rally to stand against the MSU today. We had a pretty good showing. Winter break was fun, hanging out with my best friends again was cool, and New Year's was very drunk. I hope all of your New Years were happy and healthier than mine.

The Gaza offensive has pretty much continued on the same track, save for the couple rockets Hezbollah threw at it yesterday. Israel has conditionally agreed to a cease-fire, but I see Hamas violating it again within the next year. What a shocker.

My friends have brought a couple of disturbing media items to my attention. I think it's worth checking out.

"Children of Hamas"

and

"A Gaza Fighter Smiles at Suffering"


Both are very incriminating, and very, very explanatory as to why innocent people are suffering in Gaza right now. Give them a look-see.
