Pretty Mary K (other version)

lyrics

Pretty Mary K walks along the docks
With some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock
Pretty Mary K with some little boy in blue
Who can't stay away from you

Pretty Mary K, take him back to town
I'm down here by the bay where the water pounds
Up against the wall, crying black and blue
Keeps me away from you

Pretty words that you whisper, maybe I misunderstood
Somebody's not paying attention
What they promised and their word isn't good

Oh, Mary K, I can see her face
Down there in the waves, painted and erased
But I know it's just the reflection of the moon
A big fake resembling you

Gonna go down in the water, fill my mouth up full of sand
I'll be waiting, still impatient
With my dead imagination while you're with some other man

Pretty Mary K is off in somebody's room
I'm down here by the bay with my arm around the moon
But I'll be with you soon, just as soon as I pay
I walk across the water with pretty Mary k
Walk on water, pretty Mary K


New Monkey

lyrics

Here comes the sidewalk boss again
Telling me how I can’t cave in
That I’m a study in black
Need a pat on the back
I look up and smile
A picture of dissatisfaction
That he can only see as a junkie
Though I might be straight as an arrow
He’s busy shaking hands with my monkey
Busy shaking hands with my monkey
Well, I go in the car
Straight to the bar
Where my sweetie pours the beer
For the millions of fans ignoring the bands
He’s in my ear
Wants me to live in denial
Says, "You’ve got to settle for something
Though it might not be really living
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing"

No actor action man going to move in to take my place
I’ll be pumping out the product
Just a total waste

Look at your hands unoccupied
Look at the lengths you’ll go to hide
You’re under the veil
Pretending to fail
Got a whole lot of empty time left to go
Now you’ve got to fill it with something
I know what you can do, don’t you know
Anything is better than nothing

No actor action man going to move in to take my place
I’ll be pumping out the product
Just a total waste

I’m here with my cup
Afraid to look up
This is how I spend my time
Lazying around, head hanging down
Stuck inside my imagination
Busy making something from nothing
Pictures of hope and depression
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing

Going Nowhere

lyrics

he waved hello silent like a mime
there's no changing my mind
I won't walk the stairs with you tonight
going nowhere
the clock moved a quarter of a turn
the time it took a cigarette to burn
she said you got a lot of things to learn
going nowhere

saw you move a certain way
missed you a lot
return to this abandoned place
should a been forgot
echoes drown the conversation out
echoes that only seem to bring about
a silent expression
things you may allow
going nowhere

the steps made a pattern
i'd never seen
i felt like a kid of six or seventeen
i was off in some empty day dream
going nowhere
it's dead and gone matter of fact
maybe for the best
said some things you can't take back
honestly i guess

the old records
sitting on the floor
the ones i can't
put on anymore
he walked over to her like before
going nowhere
going nowhere
going nowhere

The Holocaust

First, an interview with Auschwitz survivor Renée Firestone.

Next a film produced for the british government documenting the liberation of Belsen concentration camp. Some of the scenes in the second film may be profoundly disturbing to some people, so be warned. This isn't a movie for everybody.

Either way, if you think you can handle these movies I highly recommend watching them. It's shocking to think that some people honestly believe that this is all a hoax, despite the overwhelming amount of documentary evidence, much of it provided by the Nazi's themselves.

The Harvard Law School Library has approximately one million pages of documents relating to the trial of military and political leaders of Nazi Germany before the International Military Tribunal (IMT) and to the twelve trials of other accused war criminals before the United States Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMT).

The documents, which include trial transcripts, briefs, document books, evidence files, and other papers, have been studied by lawyers, scholars, and other researchers in the areas of history, ethics, genocide, and war crimes, and are of particular interest to officials and students of current international tribunals involving war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To preserve the contents of these documents--which are now too fragile to be handled--and to provide expanded access to this material, the Library has begun a digital project to create and present images or full-text versions of its Nuremberg documents on the Internet, along with analytical information about each document and general information about the trials.

Apparently that isn't enough for some people.

Identifying Demagogues;

According to Princeton University a Demagogue is: "a political leader who seeks support by appealing to popular passions and prejudices".

I'd like to focus on one particularly extreme example of demagoguery: George Galloway. George Galloway is a politician without substance who relies exclusively on emotionally loaded arguments, and it shows when he is debating someone with a solid historical understanding and years of experience in the region.

This video is a debate held by the Qatar foundation in Doha, Qatar. The motion being debated is Iraq needs a new dictator to bring stability. On one side you can watch the arguments put forth by Rober Baer, an ex-CIA station chief who knows the history of Iraq intimately. Robert Baer argues that Democracy, Freedom and other widely held popular ideals are useless to the Iraqi people without stability. Baer argues that without a strong dictator capable of crushing dissent, reigning is anarchic militias, and bringing some semblance of normal everyday life to Iraqi civilians the nation will continue to self-destruct as foreign interests (USA, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, The Kurds and Iran) and religious ideology continue to rip the country into pieces. Baer builds his argument on historic fact, and you will notice that he refrains from turning to emotionally loaded ideals.

Galloway on the other hand, builds his arguments on unrealistic ideals of "freedom", "justice", "resistance". Statements such as "think what the Arabs could be if they were free" serve to inflame the passions of the audience but do nothing to address the very real issue at hand: Is democracy worth anything when death squads can torture and mutilate bus loads of people periodically with impunity? When daily life in your country looks like this:



How much is a vote really worth?

Frighteningly enough in the end it is the emotionally loaded, unrealistic and hopelessly idealistic argument that wins the debate by inflaming the passions of the audience. Interestingly enough, while Galloway is staunchly anti-bush, he uses the same political techniques to gain support for a foolish and unrealistic cause. Bush won't be the last politician to pepper his speeches with healthy doses of "freedom", "liberty", and "justice for all" while pushing an unrealistic and unworkable agenda that spits in the face of reason.

The video illustrates Galloway's strategies well. He hides behind emotionally loaded language while supporting his friends in The Islamic Republic of Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and the "Glorious Iraqi Resistance Which every honorable and dignified Arab supports".

Promises

This documentary film provides a rarely unbiased look at the conflict in the middle east by interviewing the children on both sides. By interviewing children the film maker gets a remarkably candid and honest opinion. The children interviewed include secular Israeli children, religious Israeli children, Israeli arab children and Palestinian children living in the Deheisha refugee camp, providing a well rounded view into the dynamics of the conflict. To me, it's interesting to see how the effects of trauma have shaped the perceptions the children have about each other - essentially assuming that the "other" has the worst intentions in mind.

Perhaps the children have associated the most terrible kind of pain, trauma and sense of loss with their enemy, and perhaps just talking to them brings back these terrible emotions. It seems to me that if peace is going to come there will need to be some sort of meaningful rehabilitation of populations traumatized by war.

After all:

"Flashbacks are not necessarily episodic — that is, the re-experienced memories may not include specific identifying features (such as images and sounds) that were part of the original event or experience. Because there is a strong emotional component to memory as well, flashbacks can occur as a rush of feelings, emotions, and sensations associated with a traumatic event. This is especially true for young children who were lacking the cognitive abilities needed to define and characterize the trauma when they experienced it, but who may, nevertheless, relive all of the emotions associated with the traumatic event. In addition, those adult survivors of childhood trauma who have solely these emotional memories to draw on, also may experience them in flashbacks."

Flashbacks

In fact, if you choose to watch this documentary you will watch one such flashback, brought about when the children meet. I won't tell you where, you'll have to watch the movie and spot it for yourself. It's a great film, enjoy.

The Fall of the House of Saud

This is a chapter from Robert Baer's book Sleeping with the Devil. Robert Baer is a former CIA station chief who worked in the middle east for close to 21 years. It's a great article giving some insight into how dangerous the Saudi monarchy really is, and how the quest for cheap oil has led America into the hands of the corrupt House of Saud.

"Americans have long considered Saudi Arabia the one constant in the Arab Middle East—a source of cheap oil, political stability, and lucrative business relationships. But the country is run by an increasingly dysfunctional royal family that has been funding militant Islamic movements abroad in an attempt to protect itself from them at home. A former CIA operative argues, in an article drawn form his new book, Sleeping With the Devil, that today's Saudi Arabia can't last much longer—and the social and economic fallout of its demise could be calamitous"

Charlie Rose interviews Henry Kissinger

He is a man with powerful friends and a highly valued opinion. Some consider him a genius, others consider him a war criminal. Either way his opinion on Iran offers insight into some of the opinions on Iran being expressed at high levels.

Apostasy and The Stagnation of Islamic States

Today throughout the world people are searching for reasons why the Islamic world lags so far behind in terms of social and economic development. Some say the reason is American involvement in the oil rich lands of the Islamic States. Some say that the problem is Islam itself. Both of these hypothesis are historically inaccurate. The social problems of the Muslim world have been around much longer than America has been a nation, and there was a time that the Muslim world was the intellectual and cultural center of the world, and Christianity was once in much the same position Islam finds itself in today - as a tool of political oppression.

The concept of "Christendom" developed primarily as a tool meant to maintain law and order in a time when government power was limited and civil strife was common. Since no man could muster enough power to suppress the restless masses that duty was given to God. The eternal rewards of the afterlife were offered to those who fell in line and played by the rules of the ruling religious class while eternal hellfire waited for those who defied the church. Those who challenged this rigid, theocratic system were put to death as heretics, burned at the stake and accused of satanic subversion of this pure Christian system of rule.

This system, though brutal, served a necessary purpose. Without such an effective tool of control European societies would have forever been caught in civil war, unable to develop in any other field as each member of European society would primarily be concerned with protecting his own family, instead of contributing to the social development of his nation.

Eventually Christianity was reformed and although many of these repressive elements still exist today within the Christian community they have been removed from the political system of western-style democratic nations. Through experience we have realized that by allowing all powerful religious figures to dominate the political system we create an environment that prevents dissent and creates massive opportunities for unchallenged abuse of power. Today separation of church and state stand as one of the fundamental pillars of western democracy as a means of protecting both the church and the state from corruption.

The Muslim world has yet to experience such a reform, and in my opinion it is the biggest cause of the stagnation found in Islamic states. It is destroying both Islam and the Muslim states. Across the muslim world you will find religious laws being widely abused by the political and religious powers who constantly seek to suppress dissent as a means of maintain power.

It's important to understand that there is virtually no separation of church and state in most of the Muslim world. The religious institutions and the political institutions have been bound together as a means of gaining control over populations that remain divided along tribal and ethnic lines.

The primary tool of these religious and political powers is something known as "apostasy laws". "Apostasy" is the act of rejecting your Islamic faith once you have become a Muslim and it is punishable by death across the Islamic world. This places some religious leaders in the Middle east in a unique position - they can choose who lives or dies arbitrarily. Apostasy laws have been expanded to include, in the example of Pakistan, "Penal Code 295-C: Use of derogatory remarks, etc., in respect of [Muhammad]: whoever by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or by any imputation, innuendo, or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiles the sacred name of [Muhammad], shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine."

To someone living in a free society it is clear that this law has a tremendous potential for abuse. The only judge in this regard are the Shariah courts, effectively allowing the religious leaders to levy a death sentence on anybody they wish to, at any time, for any reason under the banner of religion. How can you defend yourself from charges of having "indirectly defiled the sacred name of Muhammad" when you stand before a religious court?

According to Amnesty International - "In all the cases known to Amnesty International, these charges have been arbitrarily brought, founded solely on the individual's minority religious beliefs or on malicious accusations against individuals of the Muslim majority who advocate novel ideas. The available evidence indicates that charges were brought as a measure to intimidate and punish members of minority religious communities or non-conforming members of the majority community and that the hostility towards minority groups appeared in many cases compounded by personal enmity, professional envy or economic rivalry or a desire to gain political advantage".

In western democracies our protected free speech is what allows us to grow and prosper. Peaceful dissent and criticism of the political powers of the day allows us to adapt to an ever changing world. Our political leaders are not appointed for life, nor can they levy random accusations of "apostasy" on any political figure who criticizes them.

Imagine a world where President Bush could randomly execute leading democrats on the grounds that they had defiled the name of Christ. How would anybody form a cohesive, vocal, productive opposition? Suppose you can't vote either. What would you do? What could you do? What peaceful avenues would be left? Who would oppose the war in Iraq? Who would oppose his stance on Gay marriage? Who would oppose his abuse of the Geneva conventions, or his use of torture on terror suspect?

Ask yourself what kind of a place America would be if the political leaders were able to use draconian religious law to silence any criticism.

America would be like Pakistan. America would be like Saudi Arabia. The standard of living would plummet. Human rights abuses would be common place. Government corruption would run rampant (even more then today). People would be afraid of speaking their mind and Americas social development would grind to a halt.

It is dissent, criticism, and free speech that drives progress. It is a free press, freedom of assembly and the right to choose your religion freely that drives progress. Any nation who's political and religious elites seek to stifle such basic elements of a healthy society will fail miserably. By taking away a societies basic right of self-examination the religious elites strip away any chance for growth, as you must be allowed to identify and understand a problem before you can deal with it progressively. The society will in time become incapable of claiming responsibility for any of it's own failings. The youth will never have the opportunity to improve their parents society via peaceful means as we lucky few in the west do.

So the youth will turn to violence, and the cycle will repeat generation after generation.

And the society will remain stagnant.

This is not a condemnation of Islam, nor of Muslims. This is a condemnation of a political structure that abuses the basic rights of it's citizens at every opportunity. This is a condemnation of a political structure that cynically abuses religion as a means of maintaining draconian control over undereducated masses. This is a condemnation of a political structure that will be the ruin of the Muslim world unless fundamental reforms come out of the middle east.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

Either way here's a video featuring some liberal voices from the Middle east. Maybe that'll give you a little hope.

Here's the link. There's some very smart people talking on this video. very, very smart.

Lebanon;

Here's a short video featuring english speaking Lebanese Grad students discussing america. It was shot back in 2005 before this summers war and the current internal tensions between the anti-syrian government and the pro-syrian opposition.

I'm very afraid Lebanon will be plunged into civil war shortly. Hez'b'Allah is using the fact that they are heavily armed to demand veto power in the Lebanese parliament despite the fact they do not have the votes to back it up. As the only political party in Lebanon today with a militia that operates above the law there is a high risk that violence could erupt at any time.

Today Hez'b'Allahs true colors are shining through for the whole world to see. If they truly represented the Lebanese people they would lay down there arms and dominate the political scene with the peoples popular support. Instead they use masked thugs to bring the economy to a halt and force the lebanese people to submit to their will. They seek political power through domination - not consensus.

Many in the west have a sadly mistaken view of Hez'b'Allah as some sort of stalwart peoples resistance. These people should examine the facts objectively and critically instead of allowing their disdain for Israeli policy to cloud their perception of an anti-democratic fundamentalist militia that operates above the law and is accountable to no one but Nasrallah.

Let's examine some facts, mmmkay?

We know Syria supports HezbAllah, and that HezbAllah is always quick to portray themselves as a peoples movement. We should ask ourselves why the Syrians are so quick to lend support to a violent faction that brings war to Lebanon and claims to be fighting "Israeli Aggression". If this was truly the motivation then would it not be logical for Syria to have their own resistance? For militias to launch rockets over the Syrian border considering the fact that ISrael occupies the entire Golan Heights?

There is no such thing as a Syrian "resistance". Bashar Al-Assad (Syria's secular dictator) has no interest in provoking Israel into a devastating war that would likely leave his military decimated and his stranglehold on his nation weakened - opening an opportunity for various oppressed opposition movements to take hold.

Assad and Hez'b'Allah have opted instead to use Lebanon as a staging ground for war against Israel. They have used Israel to weaken the democratically elected government of Lebanon and open an opportunity for Hez'b'Allah to violently seize power - effectively destroying any hope for a prosperous democracy in the diverse and progressive nation of Lebanon.

Bashar Al-Assad and Nasrallah care little for the people of Lebanon. They seek to dominate the people and impose their will at the cost of Lebanese prosperity and stability. How unfortunate that a few thousand anti-democratic thugs can be responsible for the destruction of such a beautiful country. How unfortunate that the democratic aspirations of the Lebanese people are surrendered to people who would bring death to a thousand and a half Lebanese citizens without consensus and proclaim it a "victory".

How unfortunate that many in the west harbor such a deep rooted disdain for Israel and America that they would cheer as thugs and gangsters take control of such a progressive and beautiful country.

Sharia comes to Canada;

Check out this news piece about attempts to set up Sharia courts in Canada. Pay attention to the way the supporter of Sharia treats the women who disagree with him. Notice the overbearing attitude. Notice the utter lack of respect. Notice the lack of compassion for the suffering of a vulnerable women.

Why should I allow oppressive legal systems from socially underdeveloped parts of the world where authoritarian theocracy is par for the course into my secular democracy? This is a legal system where women who are raped face lashes. Where girls of 17 are hung for defending themselves from violent gang rape. If immigrants to my nation want to reap the benefits of a secular, democratic society with equal rights for people of all faiths, then they damn well better adapt to my secular legal system. If they would rather enjoy the kind of society that "political Islam" brings then they can stay in Pakistan. They can stay in Saudi Arabia. They can stay in their poverty stricken, violent and oppressive nations.

I'm not anti-immigrant. I'm not "Islamophobic". Far from it. This nation was built by immigrants from all around the world. I see Muslims as another part of the pluralist culture that is central to the prosperity and security we enjoy in Canada. What I hate is political Islam. I hate how people with authoritarian political agendas use religion and accusations of persecution to obscure their true intentions, particularly when these intentions constitute a direct attack on the foundation of my democratic institutions - the secular legal system with equal rights for men and women.

These Sharia courts represent the worst elements from the wider Muslim world. These Sharia courts represent an attack on the separation between church and state that forms one of the pillars of western democracy. These courts represent an attack on civil rights in Canada. These courts have no place in Canada, or this century, for that matter.

I have no tolerance for attacks on my democratic society. This doesn't make me anti-Islam. This makes me pro-democracy, pro-civil rights, pro-free speech, pro-secular society. When somebody attacks the foundation of the best society on the face of the earth where people of all different races and religions live in peace, where free speech is a *right* and all citizens are equal in the eyes of the law we have an obligation to our fellow citizens, to ourselves, and to future generations to protect it.

These freedoms aren't set in stone. People from all over the world struggle and suffer in unimaginable ways just to get here. Have we become so spoiled we don't value our basic freedoms? Are we really willing to sacrifice our democratic institutions to "political correctness"? We won't have these rights and freedoms forever if we are unwilling to protect them from anyone who seeks to undermine them.

Political correctness be damned.

Oh yeah, on an interesting side note the Muslims who are working to preserve the democracy they value so much are receiving death threats from fundamentalists (pdf format). The Muslim Canadian Congress is working to keep sharia courts out of Canada, and in many cases are risking their lives to do so. You can check them out right here.

Second is a great lecture by Steven Hassan at Harvard university about Waco, and how the United states government failed to understand the "cult mentality". Hassan himself was a recruiter for the Moonies and offers an in-depth and first hand look at the underlying traits that make an organization a cult. As he explains in the lecture, it's not what the organization stands for that makes it a cult, it's the methods they use to attract, control and retain members. A Family can operate like a cult, a major religion can operate like a cult.
