Art review: Karisma’s Monkey God & Twelvers’ Well

2019-03-01T04:15:00.016+08:00

Monkey God!

Someone said an artist is merely a scribe, and her intended message is immaterial, but what the viewer interprets from her piece becomes its reality. Once her art is born, her soul exits her body. The artist does not own her work. Hence, she cannot ascertain who gives it life or takes it apart. Her job description is giving birth to her next piece, period!

Monkey God is a sublime piece of oil born in the era of the Darwinian ape, where Nietzsche proclaims God is Dead. Hitler moves ethnic cleansing to its logical conclusion. At the same time, Freud pushes psychoanalysis toward a vibrant sexual revolution with the mantra 'If it feels good, do it. This culminates in Krishna's consciousness for Brahmavamso to offer suicide bombers some monk magic to align their mental issues with dharma rather than drama.

Twelvers' Well

As a child, he disappears into a well while attending the funeral of the eleventh, then ascends into a state of occultation. He remains for a signal of aligned stars to emerge, with a caveat that civilization engulfs in chaos, which adherents initiate, triggering the twelfth's resurrection.

Twelvers' Well is a sick sheet of oil fleshed out by a male homo holed up in a basement with an unwashed bulldog. His theme and composition are aligned as he works on the easel. Inspired by Dante's Purgatory, the man weaves the Seven Deadly Sins into a well of fire, wrath culminating in the child's resurrection, but only when chaos is defined, validated, and dealt with.

With her oil, the artist proclaims naivety, leaving the ministry of freedom in the hands of those encumbered within a hidden fence. The root of the twelfth's passion stems from fear of the unspoken injunction that prevents adherents from abandoning the enclosure at the threat of death.

The end is nigh, the little one bellows!

Art review: Kiehl's & Kobra

2019-03-01T04:02:00.009+08:00

Carrying from where they had left off at Jonker Walk, Malacca (2015) Kiehl's Wall Mural has now (2019) descended upon the Silang neighbourhood. It paints over the sputum of our vibrant betel-leafers.

Art trivia is coming at you from Spitters' Paradise at Soong Kee's heritage wall in a gloriously showy mode for art critics to chime in their two cents. It embodies our diverse cultures habituating in Chinatown.

The simplistic, flat, two-dimensional approach isn't without reason. It is convoluted to be sucked into a three-dimensional vortex of, say, the weed-inspired Kobra fleshed out by Eduardo, our South American cousin.

It is safe to assume the Brazilian and our brothers under the bridge are using the same bong with a different plant. Yet, they possess an eye for graffiti like no other.

But then, that is what we do with the minimalist approach in Kiehl's offering. It wakes up the child in us and avoids all paths which may invoke the wrath of our local censorship board because venturing into it inspires the forbidden smudge.

If Mum provides the paint, our children will love Kiehl's spread and mimic the two-dimensional masterpiece. Little ones are inexplicably drawn to various colours, like a moth to a flame. Likewise, before adults hit the brakes for the stoplights, we are unwittingly shooting askance in that general direction.

Jonker Walk, Malacca

The inference is that our stoned brothers will maintain their vicious cycle by getting higher on their newly generated proceeds, even if they are given a shot at an exhibition of their own. At the same time, the Kiehl's Conglomerate continues to leave its neon lights and colourful mark on all heritage sites in our country.

Meanwhile, Eduardo Kobra walks the tightrope, balancing his photorealism on one end of the pole and the toddler's playpen on the other.

Armstrong & Mahathir

2018-05-13T10:58:00.010+08:00

Harry Truman and Tunku Abdul Rahman are analogous. Upon completing his presidential term, Truman stepped out of the White House, took a train, and went home. When Tunku stepped down as Prime Minister of Malaysia, a friend paid his taxes because he was broke. They both drew government pensions until they died. They were rare examples of politicians who drew only power, rather than wealth, from their craft.

Lance Armstrong and Mahathir Mohamed are analogous. Despite bagging seven Tours, Armstrong came out of a cushy retirement for his eighth at the prodding of his sponsors. He was back for one last job, which, incidentally, retired robber barons are known to itch for. The thing is, Armstrong denied a disgraced ex-teammate, Floyd Landis, a place in his team. In response, a spurned Landis, who knew where the bodies were buried, spilled the beans on Armstrong's 20-year doping history, which unravelled his legacy. Safe to assume Armstrong regrets coming out for that, one last job.

"No serious economist could defend Malaysia's current course of using public money to prop up failed businesses connected to the political elite."

The above quote is not from a current article about 1MDB but from a piece in the Wall Street Journal published on 22 December 1998 under the title 'Malaysia Props Up Crony Capitalists.' It is about Mahathir "bailing out favoured companies and politically well-connected individuals. Renong's problems can be traced back to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's disastrous privatization policy, a policy which has enriched a well-connected few at the expense of the government and public."

In his book Malaysian Maverick (2009), the late Barry Wain said, "US$100 billion went missing during Mahathir's time as Prime Minister from 1981 to 2003. Much of these missing monies may be the difference between the actual cost of government procurements, contracts, tenders, permits, concessions, quotas, licenses, and the like and the amount that they eventually cost the taxpayers, i.e., double, triple, or even up to ten times the actual amount."

On 9 May 2018, the opposition led by Mahathir experienced a suspension of critical judgment brought about by amnesia. It is lost on the masses that during Mahathir's term, the Forex affair cost taxpayers RM30 billion, Perwaja Steel RM10 billion, Bank Bumiputra RM10 billion, and Konsortium Perkapalan RM1.6 billion. This culminated in Renong, which sent the stock market reeling. A presumption of guilt even is responded to with sarcasm and cynicism.

UMNO's dream team is back, and they are making the right noises to enthral the beguiled masses. Post-election is not the dawn of a clean Malaysia based on the people's hopes and aspirations but that of the old Mahathir-Daim UMNO, based on nepotism and patronage.

Plant a flag if the Finance Ministry is eventually assigned to a lackey saddled with a conflict of interest to keep the evidence buried. Plant a flag if the baton of his premiership is handed to a loyalist to ensure his 'legacy' and as in Armstrong, when an ex-teammate, who knows where the bodies are buried, is denied a place in the team.

Unlike Truman and Tunku, Mahathir is hardly an example of a politician who draws only power from his craft.

Pyongyang’s dharma is Putra Jaya’s drama

2017-03-17T05:13:00.007+08:00

Imagine Malaysia a century from now, driven by secular values and developed into a vibrant financial centre while regarded as 'the introvert' of the region. Quiet, yet powerful.

In the backdrop of this plausible scenario, a question for those running our foreign policy. Was it worth the drama, or should we have employed discretion and avoided the faux paus, given that we are back to square one, where our nine citizens are returned in exchange for the corpse of the North Korean. But as in Altantuyaa, our 'abhorrence' for government assassins is left exposed, prosecuting two alleged killers with no apparent motive or investment in their victims?

Pyongyang's geo-political position provides a talking point for our imagined phobia, not about being attacked but about a fear of being attacked, a rape fantasy, if you will. Analogous to an extrovert, strident in the notion that she presents such an irresistible figure that she is sure to be raped; our nation presents herself as an object of desire so compelling that her antagonist in her story, North Korea, cannot resist the urge to ravage her.

Isn't it apparent by now the nuclear moves of Pyongyang are intrinsic to the re-alignment of Washington's power in the region in that she is 'obliged to defend' Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and minions in the area, Malaysia inclusive, against the 'brute power' of the 'rogue' Korean?

We can't connect the dots that the joint naval drills by Washington and South Korea were a pre-planned event, notwithstanding that they coincided with North Korea firing battle-ready Taepodongs into waters Japan claims as its own. We can't even imagine the exercise as a marketing ploy to ring up the Military-Industrial Complex of Thaad defence systems sales to US allies in the region. In that case, our illusion of importance on the world stage should run its course.

Clinton's 'selection' 2017

2016-09-27T19:55:00.009+08:00

Preamble: Depravity is the key to controlling the POTUS. Trump has not reached the same level of depravity as our 'selected' Hillary.

Sal: Mr. Netanyahu, will you attend Clinton's inauguration next year? Your 'selected' war hawk will be happy to see you grace her milestone, right?

Bibi: Sal, I run this Punch and Judy show disguised as the 'US Presidential'. If the Professor appears, the audience may realise this was a 'selection.'

Sal: Can I go then, Mr. Netanyahu? I need some white buzz, if you get my drift!

Bibi: Sure, get all the white buzz you need, but be mindful of the word around the 'missing 28 pages.' Although we instructed Obama to veto the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, I hear the thing is hot with the families of the 911 victims. They want your ass, Sal, if you get my drift!

Sal: It's confusing, Mr. Netanyahu, but why in the first place did you implicate our House of Saud with the '28 pages' then redact them to our relief, then threaten to expose the pages with the passing of the bill, then order the President to veto it, but keeping the option open to Congress, that you control, to override the veto?

Bibi: That's a loaded question, Sal. To ensure your obedience is too simplistic an answer. Take JASTA as a Zionist tutorial on how partners-in-crime work a patsy into a corner, call it a sole-proprietorship and then corral the assets of the sole-proprietor to pay for the crime.

Sal: I don't understand, Mr. Netanyahu!

Bibi: Let's just say, if you can't pick out the sucker from your partners-in-crime within two shakes of a dog whistle which isn't up to pitch, chances are, the sucker is you!

Sal: That's brutal, Mr. Netanyahu, but your honesty is appreciated. Back to the topic, given that I smell Iran, your new Queen, at my door, I take it that you have stamped an 'expiry date' on our august House of Saud.

Bibi: Underneath this, I'm confident you appreciate the brilliance of our elders who goaded you to abet the 2008 'selection' of our African maidservant to the White House and to have him hand us the Ayatollah on a plate eight years later while we choreographed Iran to stare down at our Jewish state by design, we turned its old Safavid gun towards your House of Saud, offering Mecca as the prize. Brilliant, no?

Sal: It hurts, Mr. Netanyahu. Given that we have been partners for the past century, it breaks. But shall we discuss the first female POTUS you've selected?'

Bibi: Well, Hillary is Rothschild's choice. Where Jacob points, we follow. Remember, his family set us up in Palestine and gifted you Mecca and Medina after sacking the Ottomans to make your family the holier-than-thou of the Muslim world. Don't you forget that you were, and still are, beholden to their largesse?

Sal: Thank you for the historical reminder, Mr. Netanyahu. But on the subject of your largesse, why did Rothschild not pick Trump for President? He is obligated to the family that saved him from several bankruptcies in the 1980s and supported him as he built his wealth, not to mention having a member of your inner circle support his presidential nomination in plain sight.

Bibi: Depravity is the key to control. Trump is a colourful character we nurtured, a convenient frontman and entertainer. Still, he has not reached the same level of depravity as Hillary. However, both he and Bill were depraved enough to have participated in Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express; for example, the sordid collective history of the Clintons is a huge plus, given the skeletons we have on both of them are the key to controlling the POTUS when she is installed; not unlike the 'black files' we have on your 'august' House of Saud, besides, as you have noticed, 'housing' your trillions in banks that we control, we made you more obedient to your Zionist master, than our own citizens are to us.

Sal: Mr. Netanyahu, we are pretty aware of the 'noose' around our neck and of your Mossad in our backyard filing our 'dirt,' but on the subject of the POTUS, what you are saying is that Trump is basically an actor reading a script, knowing full well that Clinton is the next President.

Bibi: Just as Hillary withdrew from the primaries in 2008, knowing full well that Obama was 'selected' for the White House. Trump is more complex than an orang-utan, as Jimmy Dore paints him. The man is versed in the old Hegelian Dialectic where, on cue, he could display a commitment with such emotion that it would obscure a reasoned argument, and while at it, he could direct a gullible audience to react to a perceived problem, which may be non-existent, which he would solve by proposing a solution with a dramatic punchline, not unlike the way we are micro-managing the impending 'clash of civilizations' between Zionism and Islam before your eyes, 'predicted' by our man Albert Pike in the 19th century, in which he stoically proposed that a defeated Islam is a done deal. Still, the thing about old Albert is that not all of his punchlines are jokes.

Sal: That's diabolical, Mr. Netanyahu, given when you instructed us to support Obama over Hillary in 2008, I pied-piper the Muslim world on the assumption that your African boy was a secret Muslim tasked by the New World Order to protect Islam. Now it is clear that he is fracturing our religion by pitting Muslims against each other in our own backyard and that Hillary withdrew to clear the way for him to the White House but only after your Bilderberg boys promised her Secretary of State and to think that Qaddafi gave his millions to the presidential campaign of a man only to be repaid with the destruction of his country by the very one he helped to power, which then paved the way for a street mob to sodomize and murder him, which incidentally he and his Secretary of State, the next President, publicly gloated over. Farrakhan, who said, "he jus a nigger in the White House."

Bibi: You're getting warmed up, Sal!

Sal: Paraphrasing your take on Trump, your shoe-shine boy, Obama, displayed a glib in his emotional commitment that obscured a reasoned argument by the embattled Qaddafi, essentially directing Libya's gullible opposition to react to a perceived problem that was non-existent in the first place, which 'your boy' was instructed to solve by proposing a solution - bomb Libya, divide the country with sectarian strife and appropriate its assets, in that order. Divide and rule, Mr. Netanyahu, let alone twisting the Zionist knife, has taken on new levels.

Bibi: Excellent insight, Sal, but if you love your domain we protect, I suggest you keep your Zio-bashing in check. Given your 'effervescent' Shia population on Exxon Street, what happened to Qaddafi could happen to you on cue!

Sal: I apologise, Mr Netanyahu, for stepping out of line.

Bibi: I'm interested in your take on the machinations of the impending installation of our 'war-hawk' in the White House. Enlighten me!

Sal: I admire those who can't keep their lies straight, but if one takes the US Presidential as a choreographed spectacle, the only way a lion makes the gullible run towards the fox would be if it shows them a wolf. Hillary is the fox, and Trump is the wolf participating in these farcical presidential debates to marinate our brains after those spirited inquisitions you call 'congressional hearings' tugged our chains. Forgive me, Mr Netanyahu, for alluding you to our brains and chains. I could not help but rhyme my punchline!

Bibi: I trust you're not done!

Sal, Trump is the fall guy for Hillary, period. He is best described as the GOP's rodeo clown, drawing the gullible public's attention while shielding your 'selected' rider from the bull. At the presidential debates, he will be reminded that she is the 'chosen one' and 'asked' to refrain from 'damaging' his opponent regardless of the credibility of the myriad of issues stacked against her. At this point, he retreats and remounts the rider to finish this Zionist charade, and if he goes rogue and makes a dash for the White House, you will point the bull to a black file and kneecap him. Perot (1993) knows the drill. Wendell Wilkie (1940) and Theodore Roosevelt (1912) knew it.

Bibi: Ross Perot knows the drill?

Sal: A century ago, your man Theodore Roosevelt was assigned to co-opt the GOP to enable Woodrow Wilson for WW1. Three decades later, you had Wendell Wilkie co-opt the GOP to allow Franklin to Roosevelt for WW2. For five decades, Ross Perot was instructed to co-opt the GOP to enable Bill Clinton for your War with Terror. A decade later, you assigned a weak McCain to co-opt the GOP to allow Obama to further the War on Terror. Now your man Trump, the most blatant, is co-opting the GOP in plain sight to enable the former Secretary of State, for whom foreign policy and cruise missiles are two sides of the same coin, to begin WW3.

Bibi: Sal, your analysis has a distinct Zionist streak. I'm impressed. You're more astute than your grandfather, father, and the horde of siblings put together.

Haron Din: A proposed Eulogy

2016-09-16T21:30:00.011+08:00

Haron Din: A Proposed Eulogy was published by Tommy Peters Bicycles on September 16, 2016

Pas Spiritual Leader Haron Din passed on September 16, 2016, and will be buried at a Muslim cemetery in Livermore, California.

A proposed eulogy must speak first to those in the front row, saying he stood for king and country and fought for and protected his religion above all else. Then, it must talk to those at the back with a toned-down missive, saying he was consistent with his divine end objective, even as he dropped the ball on his partners. Finally, to the outside world that regards him as a bridge between a secular Malaysia and an impending Islamic Malaysia while tiptoeing around his choice to be medically treated by and put to rest in the U.S., a nation regarded by the world as the understatement of separation of church from state.

The emotion in the air is a calming balm as it will encourage his detractors, who count ironically as partners, to back off and appreciate his austere lifestyle and that he lived in a modest home, not unlike his predecessor. He drove an old Mercedes to work without the cacophony of sirens that accompanied his counterparts in Putrajaya.

The thing is, after the 60-day rule, critiques will remember not only his austerity but when he came down the pike and said, "PAS will implement Hudud once the party takes control of the central government," and his predecessor, who added that "Pakatan Rakyat will eventually accept the Islamic ideology."

To his credit, the man was consistent, if not correct, in his position that Islam has no traction without Sharia and that the code is incomplete without Hudud. Despite his partners deliberating the prospect of forming a 'secular' government, it is rhetorical, let alone laughable, that PAS, who proclaimed that there is no justification for the party to exist if Malaysia was genuinely Islamic, has beachheads in three states handed to it on a 'platter of democracy' by the secularists themselves.

Naïveté is hardly a good excuse in politics. However, at some point, his partners will admit that the root cause of their consternation is a quaint but consistent form of political expediency, commonplace in budding Islamist nations, gone awry.

Moving Islam to its logical conclusion, let us raise a glass to Haron for 'keeping it real'.

Peace!

Altantuyaa's Se7en

2016-02-18T20:12:00.006+08:00

In Se7en, Andrew Kevin Walker elevated the thriller genre by removing the Judas character from the script. Spacey played the role of the protagonist's arresting officer, judge, and executioner for his Seven Deadly Sins, leaving Pitt and Freeman on the edge of their seats as they struggled with the moral implications of the killer's actions. Expertly dispatching Paltrow at the film's climax showcased Walker's mastery of the genre.

However, when it comes to a script for Altantuyaa's Se7en, Walker faces different challenges. The story of a murdered woman with no apparent motive and two convicted killers without a clear connection to the victim is less compelling than Se7en. To make the script work, Walker must identify the Judas in the story, not the one who committed the crime but the one who orchestrated the exposure of it.

The true Judas in this story is a powerful Machiavellian at the material time who subverted attempts to quash the investigation into Altantuyaa's murder and ultimately commissioned an investigation to reveal the truth.

This Machiavellian is the key to making Altantuyaa's Se7en a blockbuster. The movie is about the Machiavellian, who masterminded the raining of the 'thousand cuts', as we speak, upon Altantuyaa's killers.

Peace!

Tee and Hegazy

2016-01-26T19:17:00.005+08:00

Guard the children. Someone said, “the trouble with having an open mind is that people will insist on coming along to put things in it.”

But at the least, Mr Tee is consistent, if not amusing. He always entertained, original, unscripted, and from the soul. A candidate for Memri, he abandoned a doctrine that embodies dharma (of which he still looks the part) for one that personifies drama. If his eruptions do not make The Onion, Jihad Watch usually picks up the slack, and we can all scapegoat Malay Mail for putting Malaysia on the map again.

He has a counterpart in Egypt – Mr Hegazy – a fiery cleric who found himself on the other side of Sisi’s political fence. Similarly blustered, Mr Hegazy starts slow and reaches a crescendo that has everyone in stitches. In his ‘boycott Starbucks’ campaign, his beef was that Esther of Persia is depicted on Howard’s logo, claiming, albeit accurately, that the ‘Jewish woman’ of the Purim fame was instrumental in influencing her husband, who sponsored the first Zionist movement to rebuild Solomon’s temple, but ignoring the historical amnesia that it happened a millennium before Islam.

Fear fuels comedy. When arrested fleeing the Morsi purge, Hegazy gave a new bent to the term ‘drama queen.’ He was found in a van, all shaved and nicely dressed as a woman. Jailed by Sisi for incitement, to the chagrin of his fans, he has held his tongue since his release. Given that his cross-dressing stint is seen as a low point of his career, we pray such a predicament does not befall Mr Tee because both are kindred spirits who share a common ‘evil-lurking-under-the-bed’ comic strain that keeps Memri on its toes and happy people at large, pleasantly distracted.

Cyrus & Tunku

2016-01-24T23:42:00.010+08:00

Cyrus & Tunku was published by Tommy Peters Bicycles on January 24, 2016

“A good design is obvious. A great design is transparent.”

The maxim holds for King Cyrus of Persia and Tunku Abdul Rahman of Malaysia, who promoted a great design in a multicultural fabric working ‘transparently’ in the background.

In 500 B.C. King Cyrus, who wrote the first human rights charter, kept religions private and ethnicities distinct, enabling the ‘racehorse’ and ‘plough-horse’ to co-exist seamlessly. Generally, the Persians represented racehorses and Arabs, the plough-horses working in tandem to better the empire and down the pike; in modern times, they perform similar roles where the former is as an ‘entrepreneur’ and the latter a ‘consumer.’

Cyrus recognised that the pursuit of ethnic integration is the destruction of excellence, in that “for a plough-horse to keep up with a racehorse he would have to cripple the racehorse and conversely, for a racehorse to pull as much as a plough-horse, he would have to cripple the plough-horse.”

Result: Ask an Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian, Iraqi, Libyan, or even a Saudi, and they would ponder surprisingly that Persians once ruled over them. Cyrus’s ethnic unity over ethnic integration principle enabled ethnicities in his domain to remain recognisably distinct and nationalistic. Twenty-eight countries he commanded were oblivious of their previous Persian masters because the King ensured by decree that individual religions and cultures thrived autonomously under his reign. There is no record of him appropriating a single place of worship of another religion for conversion to Zoroastrianism, the de facto Persian dogma. However, there were many opportunities for him to do so. He not only recognised the value and effect of religions and ethnicity, but he also promoted them.

Wittingly or otherwise, Tunku promoted the same principles. He kept religion out of the public domain and encouraged ethnic education, festivals, and politics under Malaysia’s secularist umbrella. As Cyrus did, he pushed for ethnic unity over ethnic integration.

Result: Races in Malaysia reside side-by-side in a glorious fabric, recognisably distinct in features, mannerisms, food consumption, accents, and even cuss words.

Ethnic integration is a good design, but it summons the lowest common denominator that cripples the racehorse in favour of the plough horse. In contrast, ethnic unity is a great design that creates a stable of racehorses working seamlessly with the plough horses in tandem.

“A good design is obvious. A great design is transparent.”

Peace!

"Long Time" - Obama's 2014 visit to Malaysia

2015-11-17T21:20:00.006+08:00

Preamble: Malaysia's contradictory position is that it kneels for the servant, not the master, as demonstrated by its anti-Israel stance, juxtaposed with its willingness to serve the U.S., which the Jewish nation commands.

"Long-time" is an integral part of the pick-up line of the grammar-challenged Saigon prostitute in Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Her one-liner refers to serving her clients well and for more extended periods if the price is right. The thing is, Ms Saigon does not come across as a hypocrite in that she 'loves all and serves all' with equal fervour. She serves the American soldier as well as his Viet Cong adversary. She does not discern when imparting 'passion' and 'love,' and because of her impartiality, she earns their respect in a skewered way. Over the years, the metaphor has become an entertaining euphemism in coffee shops to describe a range of emotions and actions of its political actors, particularly the infamous rent-seekers jostling for political patronage.

The past week, Malaysians witnessed some intense jostling to serve President Obama. The Malaysian Prime Minister was in front of the queue, sidelining the opposition leader, NGOs, the odd religious extremist, and even his mentor's ex-Prime minister. The same ex-Prime Minister admitted that a Jewish lobbyist was paid some US1.5 million to arrange his 2002 meeting with President Bush, but that's another story.

The Prime Minister was the man of the moment. If his exhilaration, exuberance, and nervousness were anything to go by, it is safe to assume that he served President Obama well with pleasure, passion, and fervour. It is safer to assume that after the debacle of the missing jet, he uplifted the pride of Malaysians the moment he stood side-by-side with the U.S. President at the press conference, not to mention the selfie moment.

To expect a politician or even a prostitute to hold two contradictory positions simultaneously is not easy. You must work at it. But it appears more accessible for a politician to hold differing positions than a bonafide prostitute. For example, Ms Saigon would raise a red flag (pun intended) if she applied her job description with the Viet Cong with passion but at the same time pronounced to the world that she would not 'kneel' for Chairman Mao, given that it was China that sponsored the Viet Cong.

Even in Malaysia, it is well known that Washington operates at the behest of the Jewish lobby dictated by Israel. To put it mildly, President Obama is its current 'spokesman.' Hence Malaysia's contradictory position is pronounced with its anti-Israel stance.

On the one hand, Malaysia pronounces that it does not have diplomatic relations with the Jewish nation and bars its citizens from visiting Israel. To make matters worse, Jew-baiting in her Parliament erupts from both sides of the political divide at any given opportunity, and effigies and flags are torched.

On the other hand, she eagerly awaits the 'servant' of the (despised) Jewish nation to grace her shores. Still, unlike Ms Saigon, Malaysia's contradictory position does not raise a red flag or even a green one.

2100: The Museum of Past Doctrines

2015-09-30T20:48:00.008+08:00

2100: The Museum of Past Doctrines

Preamble

It's the dawn of the 22nd century, 50 years after the religious holocaust, and peace has taken hold.

Eziqa is five years old and visiting the Museum of Past Doctrines in Putrajaya with her grandma. The New World Order is in flux, driven strictly by secular values. Malaysia, a former Sharia-based nation, is 'comfortably numbed' in the matrix. It has flowered into a 'developed status' morally and economically. While it has matured into a vibrant financial centre, it is the region's most 'introverted' nation. Quiet, yet powerful.

Indoctrination of religion from birth is discouraged, but from the age of sixteen, teenagers schooled in moral studies, creationism, and science are allowed to make informed decisions to subscribe to the religions of their choice.

Given the day's flavour, little Iqa has developed an effervescent mind, and her questions to granny are equally challenging. She observes the artefacts within this 'hallowed space' with intense focus. It was her idea to visit the museum.

The conversation

Iqa: Grandma, what is the Museum of Past Doctrines?

Grandma: The museum highlights religions that humanity previously practised while consigning features deemed not in concordance with secular values to symbols. When I was your age, religious zealotry shook the world, drawing our beautiful nation into the centrifuge. Despite the bulwark within our multi-cultural and multi-religious fabric, we went down the tubes. It was inevitable.

Iqa: What you are saying, grandma, it was a "Mine Is Better Than Yours" scenario, not unlike how some children still behave, no?

Grandma: Bingo! Iqa, you have an innocent way of distilling a complex event and then simplifying it in two shakes.

Iqa: Explain those figurines up there. It looks like a man with a cloth on his head flanked by four women dressed in black from head to toe.

Grandma: When I was your age, it was common for a man to have multiple wives, up to four, i.e., The practice was called Polygamy. I used the past tense simply because our 'secularity' has relegated it to symbolise our past. It is no longer relevant. As for the abaya, the flowing black dress was designed not to accentuate the female contour and protect women's modesty, as perceived then.

Iqa: Did women willingly agree to this arrangement?

Grandma: Good question, Iqa, and a loaded one too. There is an old book called Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki, where the author suggests that large groups tend to make unenlightened decisions that are accepted, drowning the enlightened view of a single member. The group then coalesces its groupthink into a single viewpoint, steered by those who cry the loudest rather than those who think the smartest. Our religion offered such 'wisdom,' and when coupled with a 'pliant crowd,' women became willing participants in this arrangement.

Iqa: Amazing, but it is a mouthful for my tiny 5-year-old brain. I need it simplified. I can't believe our past women behaved like unthinking 'zombies.' Understandably, 'divine' sanction played a role, but what made Polygamy work? Please give it to me straight up, grandma!

Grandma: Obedience and Discipline, period. These two features gave Polygamy traction and were the only ones that ensured Harmony. Is that straight enough?

Iqa: Heavens to Betsy! Safe to assume that fidelity and romance were polite fiction in your era. Safer to imagine old grandpa, God rest his soul, was firing on all four cylinders. Pardon the automotive pun, grandma. I could not resist.

Grandma: You are a complicated and naughty little thing, aren't you? Cynical as well! I agree fidelity was polite fiction in our polygamous environment. Still, given that I loved your grandpa to pieces, polygamous as he was, I assure you that our romance was in full bloom. Talking about grandpa brings tears to my eyes. Let's move on, Iqa, if you don't mind.

Iqa: Grandma, explain that figurine of the cow on the floor, with a knife beside it.

Grandma: It symbolises ritual slaughter, a practice we endeared to in the past, towards food consumption, unlike the painless and efficient 'assembly line' method we apply now. Anything else, Iqa?

Iqa: Thank you, grandma. The dawn of the new century has been enlightening. Besides, my pride in grandma's religion has received a boost. Placing the various dogmas in the private domain has preserved and protected them while keeping our secular fabric vibrant and diverse.

Peace!

Afterword: -

1. "If you love being taken to unfamiliar places by your imagination, you will have fun. But if you try to drag your imagination to where you want to go, then it's no fun for you" - Stephen King

2. Malaysians are considered polite, civil, and diplomatic and, given their propensity to bedtime stories, prone to fiction.

3. The character in the conversation is the alter-ego of a beautiful artist. Still, the animated simulation of her thought process is the imagination of the 'utopia' depicted in the narrative. It is assumed that the position portrayed by the charisma of her character is oblivious to her personality, but only when her persona is in conflict, and the author believes that such competition is rare.

4. The reason a responsible blog master in Malaysia employs moderation is that censorship and detention laws drill down to clamp the 'oblivious' poster, even if one responds without malice to whom the author is concerned.

Petrodollar without OPEC

2015-09-12T08:44:00.009+08:00

Salman: - Erdogan has gall. He just inked a gas deal with Iran, our archenemy, and to twist the knife, the Turk agreed to pay the Shiites higher than our GCC boys are offering. Shall I organize another 'eruption' at Gezi Park? He has not learned his lesson from the earlier episode. Personally, Mr Netanyahu, I prefer the old scarf and dagger to finish him off.

Bibi: - Take a seat, Sal. My Turkish serf has no gall, nor are the Persians playing hardball. I green-lighted the deal behind your back and asked Iran to increase the price.

Salman: - What! Are you in the tank with Iran? How long has this 'affair' been going on? And how can I explain this to the council in God's name? We take pride in our all-Sunni GCC, our' coalition of the willing' set up to serve the interest of the Zionist and explicitly configured to exclude the Shiites, which Iran represents.

Bibi: - I prefer the term 'coalition of the billing' uttered privately in successful law partnerships. I know it is less noble but brutally honest, don't you agree? The tagline has been our guiding motto at the business end of our Zionist stick. Those who work diligently in our financial interest are amply rewarded with a defined track into our 'inner circle', which comes with a stake in our fiefdom and earns our protection from the hordes lurking at the borders.

Salman: - You got me a bit nervous for a while, Mr Netanyahu. I am relieved to hear that I am in your 'inner circle.' I always regarded myself as the Underboss of Don himself. Not a mere Consigliore and not a Capo or Soldier. Those lesser designations are assigned to Turkey, Jordan, Qatar, and the other noisy bits on the periphery.

Bibi: - The elders' baulk at the Mafia and the use of its crude terminology. I prefer the 'law partnership' jargon where the vocabulary is 'legal' and 'civilized,' thus ensuring a clean, distinct soundtrack and going well at the cocktails. For too long, I was promoted, simply based on longevity, a 'wrong lawyer' as my right-hand man, and I am weighing my options in the 'interest of the firm.' At the same time, mindful that those willing to sacrifice, perform well, and provide overall profitability to the 'partnership' will earn my trust and enjoy generous lockstep increases in compensation and lifetime employment in the 'firm.' You get my drift, Sal?

Salman: - I get your drift, and take it I am the 'wrong lawyer' you promoted. A simple question, then! When are you giving the House of Saud the 'axe' in favour of Iran?

Bibi: - Salman, the word 'axe' is brutal, to say the least. Let's cut a couple of Cubans and discuss this, shall we? Your august House of Saud has been in partnership with the Zionists for almost a century. We go back a long way, Sal. Do we have to talk like this?

Salman: - Mr Netanyahu, I don't have time for a speech and coupled with the fact that I'm not stupid, I have observed the events that unfolded since 911, the magnum opus of the Mossad, have benefited and strengthened Iran and only Iran, my ideological nemesis; and now you have implied that this was your design. And if I may add, I was wrong to think that 'treachery' was the forte of the Arabs.

Bibi: - You appear to have gotten more than just a 'drift' from me, haven't you! Parked on my desk is a sign that reads, 'Don't Laugh at My Moustache.' It's an old proverb that means 'I Know More Than You Think I Know.' This sign belongs on your desk. You have earned it. My design, you say! How so, Sal? Enlighten me!

Salman: - First, with 911 as your convenient 'Pearl Harbor,' you charge into Afghanistan, Iran's traditional enemy to the east, to 'hunt down' bin Laden, the patsy of our joint venture. In the melee, you sack the Taliban-Afghan Sunni-centric administration and replace it with the Shiite variety, the ideological comrade of Iran. Result - Iran holds sway over Afghanistan.

Bibi: - You're getting warm, Sal!

Salman: - Second, you destroy Saddam, Iran's arch-nemesis to the west, and replace his Baathist administration with a Shiite variety. Result - Iran holds sway over Iraq.

Bibi: - You have warmed up. Your analysis has a distinct Zionist streak within. I'm impressed. Keep talking!

Salman: - Third, you weaken the Sunni military governing Yemen by incessantly droning its crucial personnel, thus enabling Iranian-backed Houthis to gain ground. Result - Iran holds sway over Yemen.

Bibi: - You are good! It's a revelation. Salman, you are more astute than your grandfather, your father, and your horde of siblings put together. I trust you're not done!

Salman: - Fourth, your impending overthrow of Abdullah of Jordan and his Hashemite dynasty by using our Salafi boys and the CIA to install a Shiite-inspired Palestinian-friendly regime that would create a 'Palestinian Homeland' within Jordan, to conveniently solve your 'Palestinian problem' in the West Bank and Gaza. Result - Iran holds sway over Jordan.

Bibi: - Salman, I thought I was handling the conspiracy desk. To send Abdullah waxing away in France about democracy, terrorism, ISIS, and whatnot, was a hilarious sitcom. The King of Jordan was holding court for crying aloud. He was so convincing he had everyone rapt and gaping. I lost count of the standing ovations. Sometimes, Sal, I must be reminded that our western-educated scholar is part of our joint venture with ISIS 'Hornet's Nest. He's such a good actor, no?

Salman: - You are digressing, Mr Netanyahu. Talk to me!

Bibi: - I'll come clean. We are planning a coup to enable Iran to take over your Kingdom. It will take three years. I plan to finish this by 2018. Your impending execution of Ali al-Nimr amongst the other Shiites you have lined up will trigger the groundswell at the Eastern corridor, the precursor to your sacking. We appointed Qatar to 'handle' Iran. As you would have noticed, UAE opted out of the coalition to enable the Persians some wriggle room to take Syria while Moscow was tasked to provide cover. Bahrain has been compromised. The recent Shiite uprising was the 'canary in the coalmine' and the Turkey-Iran gas deal, which I trust you have analyzed. When the Shiites are at your door, NATO will look the other way. The Egyptians, Pakistanis, or whatever coalition of vassals stationed in your Kingdom will be trapped for some good old-fashioned 'Dunkirk' slaughter driven by the old Sunni-Shia beef. The 'big girls' that comprise your Saudi Land Force will be irrelevant, with their mommies shielding them from the Shiite onslaught, just as your F16s would be, with their avionics disengaged by our boys at General Dynamics. Running to Putin would be laughable, to say the least. The Bolsheviks have always been in our tank, ringing up our MIC. There is a good reason they are regarded as Rothschild's Red Symphony. Sal, my friend, I could unpack the rest of the nasty 'workflow,' but I wonder if the 'old ticker' can withstand it. I hear you're not well.

Salman: - Why, Mr Netanyahu. Why us! You reminded me of Sheikh Imran's pronouncement, "Israel and Saudi Arabia are Sisters." I believed and trusted you, given that we have been partners for close to a century and have been supplying your energy needs for just as long, not to mention covering your false flags now and then, engineering the birth of the Petrodollar with Kissinger and refereeing Yom Kippur to your advantage. Hence, I'm baffled as to why you would 'kill your golden goose' that has provided your necessary 'eggs' all this while?

Bibi: - That's a loaded question, Salman, but it comes with a simple answer. We consider the House of Saud the 'dreaded middleman' to the Petrodollar. We are removing you from the 'supply chain' to revive the greenback. Iran and the rest of OPEC are in the tank with us. Your Kingdom has evolved into an understudy of the 'dependence' culture of the Arabs juxtaposed with the 'shoulder to the wheel' approach of the Persians. I trust you will understand. It's business. Besides, this divide-and-conquer thing has a long Zionist history. Let's just say Mecca and Medina were too juicy plums for the Twelvers to refuse.

Words, Tommy Peters.

Afterword: - This dialogue is defamatory to the relevant parties, but it is hard to defame murderers. Defaming the perpetrators is difficult, given the handiwork of the Zionist and the House of Saud in Gaza and Yemen, respectively (juxtaposed in this clip).

Poker v Chess: Kit Siang & Hadi

2015-09-12T08:29:00.006+08:00

Published June 9, 2015

Kit Siang: - Hadi, superb! You were playing us like a violin, weren't you? We never expected the old 'scarf and dagger.'

Hadi: - I take issue with that, Kit! Must I remind you we are Muslims? With Karpal in the equation, we could not come clean earlier, but I trust you remember our founder, who said, "If Malaysia is truly Islamic, PAS is irrelevant."

Kit Siang: - In hindsight, Hadi, that was the 'reddest' flag we missed. Perhaps, we were blurred by your lies and double-speak, but we took comfort in Karpal's bluster, "Over my dead body." While alive, those four words gave refuge to the secular ground. A fitting epitaph of the man would be, "As long as he lives, Malaysia will not be Islamic."

Hadi: - An appropriate inscription for 'the Lion' indeed, despite your coy takes on the 'Hitler' epitaph of Tomas Masaryk. But granted, we feared Karpal. Something about him mimicked his warrior ancestor three centuries ago, who galvanized a movement that erased the wish list of the Mughals to Islamize India. The Hindu republic remains secular due to the advent of his campaign.

Kit Siang: - Keep one eye on his cubs, Hadi. It is not a coincidence that one of them shares the same name as the religionist. I would not discount him if I were you. He is just as dangerous, especially when he goes 'under the radar. He is known to cut the buffalo when you least expect it.

Hadi: - Thank you for the warning, Kit. It would not make a difference, but it would be good to brush up on the nuances of the old Khalsa when time permits.

Kit Siang: - In any case, Hadi, you have the upper hand. At the least, come clean. How much time do we have?

Hadi: - Before we give you the boot or before we give you the draft of the 'revised' Constitution?

Kit Siang: - Shariah! Alas, someone amongst us brings clarity to the table. Your honesty, Hadi, is like a back hiding a knife.

Hadi: - That, Kit Siang, is a low blow! There are, of course, more puns at stake here, but may I remind you that we are discussing Islam.

Kit Siang: In the same vein, you are reminded that your betrayal is relative to our secular Constitution you wish to supplant. Hadi, I'm too 'sanitized' for this discussion. Where is Vel Paari when I need some adjectives to describe this mess! Besides, I must deal with an uncomfortable 'I Told You So' firestorm from his father, not to mention the MIC, MCA, and Gerakan - Jesus!

Hadi: - Well, the non-Muslim parties in the BN will have to deal with a similar dilemma when we announce our 'marriage' to UMNO. Why do you think our PM dropped by the Kingdom if not to give King Salman our 'wedding card.'

Kit Siang: -Excellent timing, Hadi, and with such finesse!

Hadi:- You see, Kit, we planted a flag at the headcount of Muslim parliamentarians after the 13th GE, and from that point, we have been working our end objective to its logical conclusion. I am proud to announce that our threshold is sufficient to form our nation's first Islamic government.

Kit Siang: - Your threshold? I may have overlooked your proficiency in chess, Hadi, but your mathematics is a tad deficient. PAS and UMNO combined simply need the numbers.

Hadi: - But PAS, UMNO, and the Muslim parliamentarians in PKR combined have. It is time to 'call upon the Ummah' to advance the cause of Islam. The Irish activist coined the phrase "With the Armalite in one hand and the ballot box in the other." Checkmate, if you will!

Kit Siang: - You got me, Hadi. I am floored! We rolled the dice and tried to outmanoeuvre you, but your chess was too good for our poker. Besides, your performance 'on stage' over the past decade was exemplary, if not surreal. I would give you 4 stars for demeanour and body movement and a full 5 for memorizing the lengthy script and keeping a straight face.

Hadi: - Thank you, Kit. One more thing! Given that the DAP is now in PAS' slipstream, I suggest you release your Muslim candidates from your party without fanfare. They are in the tank with us!

Hersh: Misinformation Disinformation Perception Deception Ministry

2015-09-12T08:09:00.008+08:00

Salman: Mr Netanyahu, you embody the old Zionist maxim, 'To counter the opposition, run it yourself.' When you told me you are managing both sides, the 911 Truthers, the Engineers, and Washington's hilarious boxcutters' two jets three buildings' narrative, I was unaware you had Seymour Hersh, the renowned author and investigative journalist, in the bag as well. I'm impressed.

Bibi: Hersh, Chomsky, whoever; they are all in a 'deep state' embedded in our 'Misinformation Disinformation Perception Deception' Ministry. The MDPD is a complex outfit where we work to configure and re-configure the beguiled and ignorant masses on false flags we execute now and then, and with mainstream and independent journalism in the tank coupled with Hollywood, History, and Discovery Channels thrown in, the whole thing works like a nice Jewish clock.

Salman: Hollywood? I suppose you would summon Bigelow to do another Zero Dark Thirty and bag an Oscar. Her script was hilarious, but the lemmings bought it hook line, sinker, or Affleck himself. His cinematic sermon in Argo was even more comical than his storytelling, and his 'defence' of Islam on Maher was a sitcom, to say the least, but then, Mr Netanyahu, Ben is still my loyal serf. In any case, I own a Malaysian embedded in Hollywood who is on standby to produce any perception deception you wish.

Bibi: That 'Wall Street Wolf' guy sounds like a plan. Keep him oiled for future reference. You may have noticed that we are 'dismantling' Obama and his silly gung-ho 'aura' our PC guys created over the years. We have no further use for our 'Yes We Can' shoeshine boy. We allowed him to 'Kill bin Laden' only for his re-election. Farrakhan nailed it when he said, "He's just a nigger in the 'White' House." We are priming a white female Warhawk for the next US President to let you know. You may have also noticed that Hersh did not touch on that minor detail that would have convoluted his 'Killing bin Laden' narrative, i.e., the 'eradication' of the Seal team that supposedly 'killed bin Laden.' That would have been funny.

Salman: Brilliant chess, I must say, Mr Netanyahu. I, for one, have lost all respect for Obama. Not that I wanted him to execute his famous head-to-knee bow before me, nor did I expect Michelle to don a burka, but that woman was not even 'shawled' when they dropped by the palace last week, which caused me a bit of ridicule at home. I would have beheaded her if she were a Saudi, but that's another story. On that Warhawk you are priming for the White House, FFS, please ask her to at least 'shawl-up' when she visits the kingdom after her inauguration. About Farrakhan, just wondering, is he also embedded in the MDPD?

Bibi: Farrakhan? I'm afraid not, Salman. That fire-breathing Muslim has repeatedly refused my overtures. I offered the moon, but he is as stubborn as a donkey. We may have to do a 'Malcolm' on him. What's your take?

Salman: Please don't, Mr Netanyahu. I apologize for the non-disclosure, but Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is in our tank. He is our boy, and his Nation of Islam is on our payroll. We sponsor his expensive tuxedos because the man refuses to be a towelhead, we'd like him to be, and his girls dress like nuns, but we have secretly funded his black pulpit.

Bibi: You're a cunning old Zionist fox, aren't you, Salman. We taught you well. Now, how do I put it – the crafty old fox, convinced that he is no longer a hamster, hoodwinks the lion that placed him on the hamster's cartwheel? No worries, Sal, I'll let your non-disclosure slide this time but instruct Farrakhan to go easy on his 'Zionist Banksters' diatribe, will you? He may be entertaining, but his antisemitic vitriol makes the elders uncomfortable.

Salman: Consider Farrakhan' muted' Mr Netanyahu, but coming back to Hersh, his story is full of holes, no! I mean, it's common knowledge that bin Laden died in 2001 in a Dubai hospital as it was widely reported in our neighbourhood with our intel confirming it. Besides, the hospital records prove his demise. Hersh, for heaven's sake, is up there in investigative journalism. I don't get it, Mr. Netanyahu! You eroded Washington's credibility with Saddam's 'supposed WMD' and Iran's 'elusive atomic bomb' amongst other tales you exposed. Then, why is a renowned investigative journalist and author cutting his own throat, and Obama's, if I may add, 14 years later with his 'bin Laden in Abbottabad' fairytale?

Bibi: Because we instructed him to cut his own throat and Obama's too while he is at it, just as we will call upon you, Salman, to perform the same at the altar of 'Zion' when ripe.

Salman: "When is the time ripe?" I don't understand, Mr Netanyahu!

Bibi: It is a curtain call when we officially pin the blame on Washington and your 'august' House of Saud as prime motivators of 911. Rest assured, Sal, I will inform you when the 'curtain calls.'

Peace!

Exchanging Queens: Over Mecca

2015-09-12T07:47:00.006+08:00

Bibi: Hey Salman, I thought I told you personally. I instructed our shoe-shine boy in Washington to cosy up to Iran - behind your back. We inked a deal with the mother of all Shiites.

Salman: So, I heard, Mr Netanyahu. WTF, I don't believe this!

Bibi: C'mon, Salman, stop whining.

Salman: On your orders, Mr Netanyahu, I shelled the crap out of the Shiites in Yemen, bombed their mosques in Iraq, and beheaded them in Syria. Now, you are kissing up to the mother of all Shiites. You've put me in a spot, to say the least. Even our ISIS fellows are confused as to who the enemy is.

Bibi: Salman, I understand your consternation, given your Arab League, is dubbed the Arab Zionist League. Try to understand my position. I'm just following the protocols - I have no choice. At the least, and despite my best poker face, I don't think it's a clever idea to 'exchange queens' now.

Salman: You're following a protocol? I thought you were the Don, and what do you mean by exchanging queens? This is making me nervous.

Bibi: Relax, Sal; I hear you're a straight-up JD-man. I'd love to cut a cigar with you over a tipple, but we can't blow your cover now, can we! As regards my job description, I'm a true-blue Zionist ideologue, and Zionism is the ideology I am subservient. In a sense, I am a goddamn servant instead of a Don. Do you think I like being dubbed a servant? It's a dirty job, but it is my turn to carry the can.

Salman: Mr Netanyahu, with due respect, I must say that Zionism is some scary shit. I mean, you guys took Palestine' legally' and kept expanding 'your' territory. You, fellas, are the most brilliant real-estate men I know.

Bibi: Cynical, aren't we. Don't push it, Sal. I have a short fuse.

Salman: I apologize for the slip, Mr Netanyahu, but I wonder what you mean by exchanging your queens. I don't quite understand.

Bibi: We all know the Persians invented chess, but did you know we perfected poker? Let's just say, given historically, the Safavids allied with the Jews to shaft the Muslims, we offered Iran a plum too juicy to decline. And the Iranians have agreed to withhold their 'justified' anger against your august House of Saud for killing Shiites in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere.

Salman: But Mr Netanyahu, we were only following your orders.

Bibi: A good poker player at a chess game is a dangerous hybrid. It's akin to Steve Vai playing arpeggios for a living. He is bound to be a hit. He will have no competition because of the 'Frankenstein' he creates.

Salman: But Mr Netanyahu, how does that relate to "exchanging queens?"

Bibi: For a poker player, exchanging queens has nothing to do with his opponent, simply because he trades his queens when he has 'neutralized' his opponent. Let's just say when we flag off the measured Shiite anger against your House of Saud, it will be the old Karbala all over again. Do you get my drift, Salman?

Salman: Diabolically brilliant! Karbala II is around the corner. Your queens, Mr Netanyahu, are the Sunni (House of Saud) on the one hand and the Shiite (Iran) on the other; having 'neutralized' both, you will 'exchange' them in a slugfest over the main prize, Mecca. It's the old divide-and-rule at another level.

Bibi: Elementary, Salman! Although the relationship between Jews and Persians dates back a good five centuries vis-a-vis a century between Arabs and Persians, and even if we regard Iran as the only historical cousin of Israel, don't worry, Salman, I have your back. The Protocols (of the Elders of Zion) for your revision are in your mail.

Where Did The Towers Go!

2015-09-12T07:28:00.008+08:00

Published April 16, 2015

Salman: Mr Netanyahu, the FBI is stirring up the 911 affair. They implicate the House of Saud with the "missing 28 pages". There will be repercussions for us!

Bibi: … repercussions on us? You mean on you!

Salman: But Mr Netanyahu, we were in it together, no? If memory serves, it was a joint venture between Mossad, the CIA, and Saudi Intel, where Mossad conducted the operation. At the same time, the CIA and Saudi Intel provided logistics and ran errands. In 100 years of Mossad' false flags', this, I must say, is your 'magnum opus.'

Bibi: Wash your mouth, Salman! Is this a secure line? I know it's a bit of a stretch, even for an idiot, but the official line is this: - "nineteen jihadists from your backyard armed with box cutters brought down three towers with two planes." Are we clear, Sal?

Salman: Roger, Mr Netanyahu, but as laughable as it is, I trust the 'box-cutters' narrative is still the official line. But then, may I ask, why is the FBI dredging this up again and implicating us through this pesky 911 Review Commission? To say the least, Mr Netanyahu, I'm pissed.

Bibi: C'mon, Sal, chill! A ruse goes linear only when good people are fooled. It may take a while to see through the fog pedalled by CNN, BBC, and other propaganda tools. But only if one is still confused about what two dozen engineers huddled in a swanky command centre of a Controlled Demolition outfit are capable of, compared to a turbaned cleric with AK47 squatting in a Tora Bora cave with no sanitation, mumbling Quranic verses. The thing is, Sal, our propaganda tools have been working even with Hollywood to configure this confusion, and yours may I add, for the past 14 years.

Salman: What do you mean, Mr Netanyahu! Why are you trying to confuse us - aren't we a team? You are making me nervous. Have you heard of Dr Judy Wood, an engineer and metallurgist? She has evidence that it was not even a controlled demolition but some sort of 'directed energy weapon that 'dustified' the concrete and steel of not just three towers but seven? My grandniece, a physics buff, concurs with her and brings it to my attention. The little brat is now a fan of Dr Wood. I'm minded putting out a fatwa against learning chemistry and physics in the kingdom.

Bibi: Salman, that fatwa is an excellent idea. This Judy Wood woman is a weed up my ass. She opened Pandora's box I deliberately 'submarined' after the event. I tried to 'buy' her, but she spurned my offer, so I blocked her academic appointments. She is now jobless, but the proverbial bulldog, who does not comb her hair, is still on my tail. She is on the verge of exposing our biggest nuclear secret on the lecture circuit. I won't be surprised if she turns up at Dimona for tea.

Salman: She sounds interesting, Mr Netanyahu. Shall I soften her up? Propose marriage, perhaps? I'm on my nineteenth, and this engineer woman could make it an even twenty. I need someone with her skill sets to prevent the others from blowing up the kitchen.

Bibi: Funny, aren't we, Sal. I need her liquidated. I hear the woman is in New York. Get your boys to do the old scarf and dagger on her, pronto! To bury this in stats, make it look like a black-or-white thing, and Sal, make it clean, for goodness' sake.

Salman: Consider it done, Mr Netanyahu, but I'm curious what Dr Wood has exposed - a 'directed energy weapon? You sound as if Dimona's 'shit has hit the fan.'

Bibi: You don't get it, do you, Sal! An old Jew once said, "To counter the opposition, run it yourself." Let me tell you a secret. We are 'playing' both sides. We are sponsoring the Truthers, 911Engineers, Alex Jones, Jim Fetzer, the whole shebang, and the government's official story. Everything went nicely until this woman showed up with her book "Where Did the Towers Go." She had the gall to tell the 911Engineers to take their 'demolition' theories and shove them up their backsides. To be honest, Sal, I've not slept much since she started talking. Women, once they start, just can't stop. So, we got our FBI fellows to 're-investigate' the matter to deflect public glare from this woman. Sal, the 'directed energy' weapon we used that day, is a state-of-the-art Star Wars zapper. Since Einstein did Fatboy, it is the most potent weapon we have invented.

Bibi: In comparison, Fatboy is a bullock cart. God rest his soul. Old Albert is in kindergarten compared to our boys at Dimona.

Salman: That's fine, Mr Netanyahu, but back to my original question. Why is the FBI implicating the House of Saud in the affair?

Bibi: You still don't get it, do you, Sal! Let's just say if you can't pick out the sucker from a principled partner in your joint venture within two minutes of a dog whistle that isn't up to pitch, chances are, the sucker is you.

Salman: What do you mean, Mr Netanyahu?

Bibi: In a joint venture as complex as ours, the pecking order determines the Patsy if a contingency plan is found wanting.

Salman: And the Patsy is …

Bibi: The Patsy is you, Sal. Referring to such an obedient partner as a 'sucker' or even Collateral Damage is crude. Sal, to deflect this loose cannon called Judy Wood from the glare of the public eye, expect an FBI investigation and the 'missing 28 pages' to give your august House of Saud a fair bit of grief and embarrassment. But not anymore that can't be handled publicly, with a thick skin.

Salman: Thank you, Mr Netanyahu, for your kind consideration.

Bibi: You're welcome, Sal. As usual, I have your back.

Karl Marx is 'Grinding America Down'

2013-11-10T17:14:00.004+08:00

AGENDA: Grinding America Down (Synopsis - 20 minutes)

AGENDA: Grinding America Down (Full program - 90 minutes)

"America is like a healthy body, and its resistance is threefold • Patriotism, Morality, and Spiritual Life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." – Joseph Stalin.

."Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." - Vladimir Lenin.

"My object in life is to dethrone God." - said Karl Marx.

Editorial review: When Idaho legislator Curtis Bowers wrote a "letter to the editor" about the drastic changes in America's culture, it became the feature story on the evening news, People protested at the Capitol, and for weeks the local newspapers were filled with responses. He realised then that he had hit on something. Ask anyone, and you will hear that "Communism is dead! The Berlin Wall came down." If you think the word 'communism' isn't used anymore, this film will show that the ideas behind it are alive and well. Join Bowers for a fascinating look at the people and groups that have successfully targeted America's morality, freedom, and spear effort to grind the nation down. It's a well-documented AGENDA.

THE NAKED COMMUNIST (1958): 45 COMMUNIST GOALS

W. Cleon Skousen

On January 10th, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45 Communist goals into the Congressional Record. The list was derived from researcher W. Cleon Skousen's 1958 book "The Naked Communist" (at the link). These principles are revisited in the above program by Curtis Bowers to gain insights into the thinking and strategies of the so-called liberal elite: -

1. the U.S. should accept coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. the U.S. should be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. [Note: These encapsulate the Kennan Doctrine, which advocated for the "containment" of Communism. Establishment figures supporting the amoral containment policy implicitly worked with the communists to scare the American people's wits concerning the atomic war. President Ronald Reagan undid the doctrine when he took an aggressive stand against the Evil Empire by backing freedom fighters from around the world struggling against the left-wing communist jackboot. As a result, the Soviet Union and its satellites imploded, a considerable and unexpected setback to the international communist edifice.]

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S. would demonstrate "moral strength." [Note: The nuclear-free zeal advocates only supported a freeze on American nuclear development. Rarely were Soviet nukes or those of other nations mentioned in their self-righteous tirades. The same advocates now call for reducing American military might, claiming that America is immoral in preserving its military pre-eminence in the world.]

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether items could be used for war. [Note: Today, there are calls to end the embargo on the slave island of Cuba, there were complaints about the embargo against Iraq, and the U.S., not Saddam Hussein, was blamed for the suffering of the Iraqi people. Would they have advocated for free trade with Hitler and his National Socialist regime?]

5. Extend long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. [Note: Such aid and trade over decades contributed significantly to the left-wing communist liquidation of over 100 million people worldwide, according to the well-documented "Black Book of Communism." This aid and trademark is a shameful chapter in American history. Without the assistance and trade, the left-wing international communist behemoth would have imploded on I rot sooner, and umpteen millions would have been saved from poverty, misery, starvation, and death.]

7. Grant recognition of Red China and admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states despite Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under the supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the U.S. has agreed to suspend tests if negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. [Note: There are still American intellectuals and elected members of Congress who dream of an eventual one-world government and view the U.N., founded by communists such as Alger Hiss, the first secretary-general, as the instrument to bring this about. World government was also the dream of Adolf Hitler and J.V. Stalin. World government was the dream of Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers.]

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. [Note: While the idea of banning any political party runs contrary to notions of American freedom and liberty, notions that are the exact opposite of those held by the left-wing communists themselves, nevertheless, these goals sought to undermine the constitutional obligation of Congress to investigate subversion. The weakening of our government's ability to conduct such investigations led to the attack of 9/11.]

13. Do away with loyalty oaths. [Ns entirely proper and appropriate for our government to expect employees, paid by the American taxpayer, to take an oath of loyalty.]

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both political parties in the U.S. [Note: In his book "Reagan's War," Peter Schweizer demonstrates the astonishing degree to which communists and communist sympathisers have penetrated the Democratic Party. In his book, Schweizer writes about the presidential election of 1979.]

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken primary American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. [Note: This strategy goes back to the founding of the American Civil Liberties Union by Fabian Socialists Roger Baldwin and John Dewey and Communists William Z. Foster and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.]

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests programs or organisations under Communist attack. [Note: The success of these go is evident from a communist perspective. Is there any doubt this is so?]

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, and policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, T.V. & motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and T.V. [Note: This is the Gramscian agenda of the "long march through the institutions" spelt out explicitly: gradual takeover of the "means of communication" and then the debauched the culture weakens the will of the individual to resist.]

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy." [Note: Today, those few who still dare to advocate public morality are denounced and viciously attacked. Most Americans are entirely unwitting regarding the motives behind this agenda.]

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasise the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch." [Note: This has been primarily accomplished through the communist infiltration of the National Council of Churches, Conservative and Reform Judaism, and the Catholic seminaries.]

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools because it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, and a hindrance to cooperation between nations worldwide.

30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats with no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. [Note: Obliterating the American past, with its antecedents in principles of freedom, liberty, and private ownership, is a fundamental goal of the communists then and now.]

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralised control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of the big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioural problems as psychiatric disorders which only psychiatrists can understand or treat. [Note: The Soviets used to send "social misfits", and those deemed politically incorrect to massive mental institutions called gulags. The Red Chinese call them lao gai. Hitler called them concentration camps.]

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws to gain coercive control over those who oppose communist goals. [Note: Psychiatry remains a bulwark of the communist agenda of fostering self-criticism and docility.]

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. [Note: Done! The sovereign family is the single most powerful obstacle to authoritarian control.]

41. Emphasise the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks, and retarding of children to the suppressive effect of parents. [Note: Outcome-based education, values clarification, or whatever they're calling it this year.]

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; students and special interest groups should rise and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems. [Note: This describes the dialectical fostering of group consciousness and conflict, which furthers the interests of authoritarianism.]

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalise the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic issues. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

'Tuhan' or 'Allah'

2013-10-17T15:31:00.007+08:00

Which term, Tuhan or Allah, would an evolved Christian in Malaysia adopt?

Despite the convergence and historical application of the latter, it is not the job description of a peaceful Christian to clamour, at the risk of social unrest, for his 'lost' vocabulary, just as it would compromise the Hindu sentiment of 'peace' and 'detachment' should the world's oldest religion lay claim to The Kaaba, that was in existence during the period the Arabian peninsula was part of Vikramaditya's Hindu empire, but that is another story.

As a Hindu, an evolved Christian is a 'condition' rather than a 'force.' He has no business, let alone capacity, to confront a threat. His ability is limited to reason, common sense, and, perhaps, points of law.

Over time, the term 'Allah' has lost its biblical meaning in contemporary Christianity, just as the universal term 'God' had gained prominence over 'Gott,' its original expression that once referred to a dwelling place of an idol, but that is yet another story.

The point is, as a Christian evolves, he adopts terminology invested with his intended expression while leaving behind 'lost' and 'irreparable' ones, and if perception is indeed a marketing strategy, applying a substitute infused with a distinct biblical meaning would allow a Muslim to understand the true nature of his Christian brother, his Bible and his biblical God, just as the 'surrendering' of Islam's holiest shrine, presumably, allowed its founder to comprehend the true nature and benevolence of the previous empire.

Which term, Tuhan or Allah, would an evolved Christian in Malaysia adopt?

There is no Step 3 when you face the Twelfth

2013-09-02T12:10:00.005+08:00

Preamble:- The House of Saud, which prides itself as the Rolls of the Middle East, is keenly aware that there is no Step 3 when you face the Twelfth Imam in the public domain.

Debating the merits and demerits of the cabal's house-negro is as awkward as it is irrelevant, but it is not a waste of time, given that it provokes the Django debate. It is not Washington that 'made the region tremble' but an elite group that holds the violin, that drew lines in the sand, that defined not only the plethora of caged psyches we call The Middle East but resurrected their doctrinal antithesis in the form of a refreshing tech-driven 4000-year-old flicker to flame, tasked with dragging minions, misogynists and dictators of all stripes out of their dark caves, into modernity.

On the chessboard, the grandmaster's protected one is Israel. It is a 'prized flame' while the one who trembles in its jubbah is the House of Saud, the DHL of the triangle and the necessary hypocrite of the region, waiting to be used and abused, that is now under instructions to deliver everything from moolah to weapons and food to sarin to the enemies of the Syrian regime, to unlock once again the guns of the cabal's attack dog, NATO.

The House of Saud, which prides itself as the Rolls of the Middle East, is keenly aware that there is no Step 3 when you face the Twelfth Imam in the public domain. Thus, it has always been in obedient lockstep with fellow brothers, not because it was the dark triadic that drew its borders on the sand, but because the masterpiece of the century-old sand art that includes its own life-blood, in the form of the Shia-populated Eastern' Exxon-Mobil-Aramco' province, can be re-drawn as quickly as it was drawn, to penalize it even for perceived disobedience, thereby looming the gut-wrenching spectre of transferring the Sunni-oil hegemony called OPEC together with the House of Islam called The Kaaba, into the waiting arms of the patient and proud 'Twelvers' of Shia Iran - for a price.

A General pinning his Islamist

2013-07-10T20:40:00.010+08:00

"I became minister of defence due to the military's will and not yours, and you know this very well. Moreover, you can't remove me; that's it, you no longer have any legitimacy" - General al-Sisi, responding to President Morsi's threat to dismiss him.

On July 5, 2013, El Watan, an Egyptian daily, published the dialogue (in Arabic) between General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and President Dr Muhammad Morsi that took place on Tuesday, July 2, 2013, a few hours before Morsi's final speech to the nation and after that his detention. A reporter was allowed to witness and transcribe their conversation from a TV screen (translated by Raymond Ibrahim): -

Morsi: What's the military's position concerning what's going on? Is it just going to stand by watching? Shouldn't it protect the legitimacy?

Sisi: What legitimacy? According to documented reports, the entire army is with the people's will, and most people don't want you.

Morsi: My supporters are many, and they won't be silent.

Sisi: The army will not allow anyone to destroy the nation, no matter what happens.

Morsi: What if I don't want to leave?

Sisi: The matter is settled and no longer up to you. Try to leave with your dignity and tell those you call supporters to return to their homes to prevent bloodshed instead of threatening the people through them.

Morsi: But it will be a military coup, and America won't leave you alone.

Sisi: The people concern us, not America. And since you've started to talk this way, I'll talk to you candidly. We have evidence to condemn you and many governmental officials for compromising Egypt's national security. The judiciary will have its say, and you will all be judged before the whole people.

Morsi: Okay, can you permit me to make a few phone calls, and afterwards, I'll decide what to do?

Sisi: You are not permitted, but we can only let you check up on your family.

Morsi: Am I imprisoned or what?

Sisi: You are under arrest from this moment.

Morsi: I don't think the Brotherhood will stand by if I leave office. They will set the world on fire.

Sisi: Just let them try something, and you'll see the army's reaction. Whoever among them wants to live in peace he's more than welcome; otherwise, we will not leave them alone if they try anything. We will not single anyone out, and the Brotherhood is from the Egyptian people, so don't try to use them as fuel for your disgusting war. If you genuinely love them, leave the office and let them go to their homes.

Morsi: Anyway, I'm not going, and the people outside of Egypt are all with me, and my supporters are not going.

Sisi: Anyway, I've advised you.

Morsi: Okay, but take care. I'm the one who hired you as a minister and can remove you.

Sisi: I became minister of defence due to the military's will and not yours—and you know this very well. Moreover, you can't remove me; that's it. You no longer have any legitimacy.

Morsi: Okay, if I agree to be removed, will you allow me to travel abroad and promise not to imprison me?

Sisi: I can't offer you any promises. It's the justice department that will pass its verdict.

Morsi: Okay, if that's the case, I'll make it war, and we'll see who will prevail.

Sisi: Naturally, the people will win.

Tens of thousands of Islamists streamed across a Nile River bridge toward Cairo's Tahrir Square, threatening a showdown moments after the top leader of the Muslim Brotherhood defiantly spoke before a cheering crowd of supporters, vowing to reinstate ousted Morsi and end military rule.

Postscript: - If fear is a percussor to discipline, the inverse relationship between a fearsome master and a cowed minion is apparent. Drop off the imbibing of the mainstream for a while, and the fabric of the Middle East becomes distinct. The region resembles a sprawling garage with several automobiles, from the Rolls to the Hummer to the feisty Alfa. Saudi Arabia is obviously the Rolls, Jordan the Bentley, Qatar the Merc, Bahrain the Bimmer, and Kuwait is the bling-Caddy. Iran is the tenacious Pug, and Iraq is now a tame Citroen. Egypt is the old gas-guzzling Hummer, while Gaza is the feisty Alfa.

Israel owns the garage, and she is tasked with the upkeep of the vehicles. Although the Alfa is a leaker, it is the favourite of the Jewish state. Given the Paradise doctrine, maximum torque is extractable until it is totalled. Israel secretly admires its speed and tenacity, and when it begs a good trashing, she obliges; but just as she has a good run in the Le Mans of the Arab Spring, the Hummer appears to have blown a gasket.

Perception is a marketing strategy, and so is eating crow. The underlying narrative is Israel is the kingmaker in the region. Period. At some point, Hamas will be aware that the Jewish state next door is the actual patron of the Egyptian army and that Gaza is well-positioned as its 'marketing tool' or a 'shooting range' when neighbours line up to buy her Iron Domes.

Sodom, the Decadency Sword, is back

2013-07-07T02:24:00.003+08:00

If gay unions are legally allowed, we are swinging Sodom, the old Decadency Sword, where 'personal freedoms' were institutionalized. Sounds dramatic, but with the US Supreme Court ruling, humankind has once again taken leave of its senses by ignoring the tried and tested balloons of convention; the opposite sex of full age, not a blood relative, and monogamy that served to keep the old sword at bay.

Instinctively, we yearn for the old convention. On the other hand, our kaleidoscopic world has surreptitiously allowed the sword to evolve into a 'human rights' thing while promoting convention over the old construct is consigned to a 'trampling-on-one's-personal-freedom' issue.

The Sodomite gushes forth like a living thing. Not the natural-selection I'll-be-a-monkey's-uncle-overtime-type living thing - but living water that you drink. We are witnessing the return of the three-winged seraph. As its flutter's consistency resonates again, we abandon standards where everything is legal and everyone is moral - Nice!
