The Kill the gays bill or Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill that has been floating in the ether for nearly two years in the Country of Uganda is currently being brought up for a vote yesterday but thanks to opposition support voting has been postponed, however the people who drafted the bill are doing everything in their power to have a vote on on Friday 13th to ensure that in Uganda killing "fags" is okay. According the proposed law, those who are found harboring homosexuals or keeping their orientation a secret from the Ugandan authorities could find themselves facing life imprisonment and any groups, companies, or media outlets that supports LGBT rights are also targeted by this bill.
In another sad twist, the American involvement in this possible Ugandan genocide has not been completely on the side of the opposition. Opportunistic evangelicals who make up the family and have the ear of many conservative members of the white house have been supporting the countries dictator. The Family has been supporting MP David Bahati for years and his kill the gays legislation covertly since it was introduced in 2009. The group has been able to stay out of the spot light in the states for years, considered by the uninitiated or politically ignorant to be nothing more than a prayer group.
However there is active opposition in the west in the form of petitions to stop the progress of the bill . But for the groups and individuals opposing the legislation on the ground in Uganda the price could take the form of severe beatings and extended incarceration. To Ugandan supporters of the bill, and in many cases their western counter parts, homosexuality is a scheme of active recruitment, a scheme which spent $15 million dollars in 2010 to recruit children into being gay, according to David Bahati himself as he spoke to Rachel Maddow. These people see themselves as crusaders against the gay agenda and many think that they were anointed to that purpose in the United States.
Apparently a governments ability to undermine the personal liberties is sort of like herpes in that if George rides you long and hard your sure to catch it. The UK is now under fire by for its draconian behavior after Tony Blair and George W. Bush Jagermeistered there way into the Iraq war. It turns out that while was draft the patriot at and declaring mission accomplished on health care, financial regulation, and the the war with Iran that's lets face it is gonna happen. Blair and the UK's Republican opposite number were leading the people of the Queens country into a similar hell-scape in which we all some day fight to death for rags gasoline and mating right for mohawked lady boys.
PETA is the place whee logic goes to die. Any organization that equates slavery with the beef industry is eight lines of Bolivian marching powder into the party before anyones even started on there beers. After criticizing the President Barrack Obama for the merciless execution of a fly PETA has enlisted the help of Lydia Guevara, Che Guevara's granddaughter in order to promote its agenda bestial-fascism. Yeah she's hot in and you want to nibble on that carrot bandoleer until you see the face god in her sharp cheeks and weird green eyes god I want some carrots.
I just found out that this woman's name was Neda. the first thing that caught me off guard was the fact that she wasn't wearing a hajib. Then there was the look in her eye the disappointed and reproachful as if she was sickened by the person holding the camera or whoever shot her or me for watching her die. Thanks to the crackdown on the media in Iran I'm just as clueless as the people a the 24 hour news stations when it comes to finding out how real this video is. If this woman really died, if the video was even shot in Iran these are the questions I can never hope to answer on my own. The mainstream media has become so reliant on the personal media that they might as well start writing checks to Google Twitter and Facebook. Its industry suicide because the safe little visual fictions of countries like Iran, countries with a contrary political and social set of anxieties as wasted third world shotting ranges where all the kids are wearing battered flip-flops with Mr. T and Thundercat t-shirts. In these videos Tehran looks like any European city on hot day like Los Angeles during the summer, and the people in the streets don't look like the desperate antisemitic hardliners we want to ignore. As presumptive president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the supreme Iranian leader the Ayatollah fade from the public eye and into the televised characters to the western world the Democratic Left and the Republican Right have some manipulated the violence on the street into their own conflict. The dead number somewhere around 160 and the media for its part have reduced the bloodshed to its most pity denominator Republicans circle jerking themselves into a self-righteous lather complaining that Obama hasn't been as obnoxious and belligerent enough to protect American interest while the Democratic party avoids them and tries to remind them in the most passive aggressive liberal way that "hey don't we have sit to do here after your guy fist fucked the economy and the health care system into a smoldering heap?" Can Western and particularly American intervention actually help the people on the streets of Tehran? Former president Rafsanjani's daughter Faezeh Hashemi was a vocal opponent of the election result has been arrested as well as several other politically prominent Iranians. Some Iranians think American involvement undermines the platform Mir-Hossein Mousavi ran as well as the validity of the protest against the results of the election. Allowing that then how are these youtube post for?

After the Obama administration waffled on whether officials who ordered the water boarding of prisoners who may have known about possible terrorist threats Condoleezza Rice was caught off guard at Stanford University marking what will the last time that "f@#k you next question" could be used as a rhetorical technique by former remembers of George W. Bush's administration. (It should be noted that this technique was never used on the true patriots like Shepard Smith and further noted that is not technique doesn't mean you're a mean douche if Dick Cheney says you can say it.)
Wait... Wait... did Bill O'Reilly actually mock black veterans on national television? I know that It's acceptable for the media to pervert realistic portrayals of the plight of veterans; from the ones blasted on crack and hopping to get blanket before midnight to the ones meandering through congress delegating laws at break neck speed hopping for revenge against long dead communist shadows and 'slant eyed devils' to get a sniff of the elusive odor hero worship. With John McCain being the Republican front runner for the 2008 primary election and the release of what, due to the laws of gravity and horrific plastic surgery will probably be the last Rambo movie, it's obvious that the U.S. Media, Left and Right, gives less than a half ounce of Bill O'Reilly's about the way that fictional veterans are portrayed. But what about real ones?
Wait... Wait... did Bill O'Reilly call disgruntled veterans Myths? It's acceptable for FOX to turn patriots to socialist demons the second they ask for what they're owed and distort the fact that even though Vietnam occurred over 30 years ago 44% homeless vets who served in the Vietnam war. This could mean that veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could bloat the percentages of homeless vets to a size equal to Bill O'Reilly's massive ego. Conservative pundits like O'Reilly like to separate cause and effect of the economic decline to joblessness, joblessness to homelessness, homelessness and joblessness leading to depression and drug dependency. Alcoholism and PTSD consume the lives a of veterans leaving them empty vacuous shells. GI Bills fail to fulfill the promises of education and support asserted by those comic book commercials of men fighting dragons and and motes of lava. Of course the 1944 GI bills is about as authentic as werewolves, Gorgons, and Anne Coulter's soul.
It is unfair to say that all Conservatives believe that vets don't exist, they definitely believe In John McCain. As the Republican front runner in the 2008 primary election John McCain has become the Scion of the Conservative obedient WWII veteran that never existed. McCain takes his role as a representative of the successful vet seriously and has done everything he could think off to be successful. He's rich as hell! And all that money comes from his own hard work (Marrying a rich beer heiress and having parties where people pay 100 dollars a plate to shake his hands). Would the people who pay to simply eat near John McCain fork up money to spend an evening with the homeless veterans who forgot to marry rich? Its a perfect opportunity for some of the salt of the earth authenticity they use to get elected in impoverished areas to rub off on their tailored suits. I wonder if McCain has called up any of the vets he served with in Vietnam to congratulate them on the passing of the new GI bill he didn't support?
After Bhutto's assassination Al-qaeda was mentioned often. In the rush to prove his dedication to the prospect of peace former general Musharraf posthumously reprimanded twice elected prime minister Bhutto for not knowing how side to step suicide bombers as well he could, a skill he perfected to the point of Zen like perfection. But don't blame Musharraf. It's obviously to much to expect from the unquestioned leader of a quasi dictatorial regime to control the people within his country. But now it's election time and the General's party might lose to the power of the martyr. America is currently holding a contest of leadership that will involve massive amounts of soft and hard money being shifted from network to network to influence public opinion. But there's a good chance no one will be blown up in the eleventh hour. But would it help? It might take an amazing Benazir Bhutto like force to sort out the crap storm. What each party needs is martyr.
Being dead is the best way to end an argument for two reason: 1 you don't have to argue anymore. 2 whoever keeps the argument going looks like a rat bastard to pretty much everyone.
How to be a martyr: How to lose you life and help your party.
1 HAVE BALLS
Bhutto's government voiced its concern for women's social and health issues and discrimination against women within a culture that sees women as primarily baby make machines, secondly as dependents. Bhutto announced plans to establish women's police stations, courts, and women's development banks. She promised to repeal controversial laws such as the Hudood laws which consequently made victims of rape guilty under the laws of the Quran based crime of Zina (extramarital sex) resulting in the victims eventual incarceration (but the party did not fulfill these promises during her tenures as Prime Minister, due to immense pressure from the opposition). When was the last time you heard about any of the democratic candidates actually promising repeal an arbitrary faith based laws? Or when was the last time any of them tried to actually overhaul the laborious often redundant bureaucracy that has had made governing in America governing equatable to masturbating with salt petter?
2 HAVE SHAKESPEARIAN FAMILY ISSUES
Benazir Bhutto's father, former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was removed from office following a military coup in 1977 led by the then military chief General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. Later General Zia charged Mr. Bhutto with conspiring to murder the father of dissident politician Ahmed Raza Kasuri. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death by the martial law court. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged on April 4, 1979. Benazir Bhutto and her mother were held in a "police camp" until the end of May, after the execution. On July 18, 1985, 27 year old Shahnawaz Bhutto, brother of Benazir Bhutto was found dead in his French Rivera apartment. He died under mysterious circumstances, and the Bhutto family firmly believes he was poisoned. No one was brought to trial for murder, but Shahnawaz's wife Rehana was considered a suspect by the French authorities.
Now here the Republicans can pull a head in the Race to be Martyred. You have to be intriguing to be martyr and a murky family past filled with death, deception, and damning political intrigues. They'll have a hard time forgetting you if you're Rudy Giuliani (9-ll) with three wives (9-11) one of which was your (9-11) second cousin, or if your like Mitt Romney who hired a man who impersonated a police officer, or hired illegal immigrants, or dodge the draft because you were a Mormon, or kept all five of your sons from performing military even though you supported the war. But this is a bad spot for John McCain. All he has is a drug addicted wife and history of infidelity, which is republican for “things we don't talk about at the dinner table”
The democrats have Hillary to lean on here but all her and husbands peccadilloes have been so warn down and used up by FOX “News” that people are tired of hearing about them. Obama gets no points here. He had better plan to kill his father or strangle a retarded midget prostitute or he's out of the running.
3 Put the people first
Unlike U.S. political parties Pakistan's governing bodies don't give a crap about P.R. They continuosly make the mistake of telling the public what they actually think. What propped Bhutto up over the junta hungry, coup loving parties that had traditionally dominated Pakistani politics is that what she believed in was actually quite helpful. She inherited the PPP, a semi-socialist quasi-free market entity with many idealistic and surprisingly killable leaders. Their ability to attract bullets and bombs is do in large part to the view of populace as either civic dependents or prospective victims. Case in point the systematic dismantling Pakistan's legal apparatus in 2007 by General Musharraf police force. When the lawyers peacefully protested Musharraf used a political move commonly referred to as the “counter impeachment” or the “Cheney reach around” when he arbitrarily arrested the lawyers. Prior to her assassination, Benazir Bhutto had been suggesting that maybe the best way to run a government was to not kill the people who were supposed to draft laws.
However, becoming a martyr you going to come up against FOX news, and they hate anyone who even tries to be beneficent because the only martyr's they support are Richard Nixon and JESUS!
Ron Paul, one of the many republican nominees for the presidency in 2008, may be at least as intelligent as Giuliani. Trust me, the Dr. Paul (real doctor not fake ass church doctor) looks horrifying on paper; a republican representative form Texas vs. the republican bad boy hero from New York. But, if you look close, in terms specific issues Rudy Giuliani comes off like a jabbering monkey, saying things like "No matter how you try to blame it on the president, the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough?" (In response to the lost explosives in the Al Qa'qaa high explosives controversy).
Ron Paul, the candidate from TEXAS, said "All initiation of force is a violation of someone else's rights, whether initiated by an individual or the state, for the benefit of an individual or group of individuals, even if it's supposed to be for the benefit of another individual or group of individuals. Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense." in response to a question about military intervention into places like Iraq, while Giuliani referred the future of the war in Iraq as being something "in the hands of other people".
But don't go off and vote for Ron Paul, he's bat shit crazy, seriously and full of good old fashion, southern bible belt insights like, "Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist." By Ron Paul's logic attempts at unifying Americans of differing ethnic groups is equatable to joining the KKK.
Thursday, June 7, 2007
On June 6, 2007 A German man attempted to bum rush the Pope-mobile during a procession through St. peters Square. The assailant was quickly apprehended by Vatican authorities while the Pontiff, blissfully unaware of the occurrence, continued to wave his way through the square.
Could the events in Rome involving the pope and unidentified man who attempted to cross a blockade to reach the pontiff on June 6th be evidence of a loss of trust in the Catholic church? And is the Church, on the heels of a various scandals, prepared for further attacks on its reputation?
According to the authorities the man had no intention of hurting the Benedict. Being in a state of psychotic panic, the man was only trying to attract attention to himself using the Holy father as a Proxy.
Initially, there was a lot of speculation about the reasoning behind the man actions. Some thought that the attempt was politically motivated. Some take offence to the Pope's history as a Nazi Youth, others think that he has been to lenient with Catholic priest accused of molestation.
The the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has decided to pay out $660 USD to molestation victims, in response to the surge in claims against the Church. Some have viewed this move as a full omission of guilt on the part of the papacy. while others consider it the first steps in mending the breach in trust that have rocked the Church
The Catholic Church has played down much of the criticism fired at Benedict since he has taken the position left vacant by Pope John Paul II. But, there has been no shortage of activist and media pundits digging into the new Pope's past.
