PIRACY NOT SOMALIA STYLE.
Mr.Bernard L. Madoff.
Another crook, a real con man. This time however he does not belong to the Italian Mafia or other bad guys and he defintely does not come from Somalia. I wonder what Mafia he belongs to. Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde, is it the one no-one dares say its name?
Somehow I don’t think that Hollywood will make many films about this and I’ll bet anything, that the media in general , will soon bury this under other more worthy news such as terrorism, Muslims or other baddies with strange sounding names..
Just as an after thought, please consider the following : whenever a muslim commits a crime , the fact that he is of this religious persuasion is always very prominent in all media reports.
No problem. It’s Showtime , lets Rock’n’Roll.
After all, only in America.
Just a thought!!
words ‘settlers’ and ‘colonists’ to ‘American occupiers’ and ‘Algeria’ to ‘Iraq,’ this is not a bad assessment of where the U.S. now finds itself — or may soon find itself. Watching current TV news footage coming out of Iraq — say, of American soldiers patting down Iraqi men at check-points (and putting hoods and plastic handcuffs on some of them) or ransacking private homes — one cannot help but wince at the racial and religious hatreds being sown right before our eyes,how to win a battle against terrorism and lose the war of ideas. … Children shoot soldiers at point blank range. Women plant bombs in cafes. Soon the entire Arab population builds to a mad fervor. Sounds familiar? The French have a plan. It succeeds tactically, but fails strategically. We could not do better, to learn from our mistakes, than view Gillo Pontecorvo’s film”The Battle of Algiers”.
Thucydides himself said – – that it was enough for him that his words “be judged useful by those who want to understand clearly the events which happened in the past and which (human nature being what it is) will, at some time or other and in much the same ways, be repeated in the future”.

FEEBLE MEMORY/COLLECTIVE AMNESIA

Beginning with Indiana in 1907, 32 states eventually passed laws allowing authorities to order the sterilisation of people deemed unfit to breed. The last programme ended in 1979.
More than 60,000 Americans were sterilised, many against their will, as part of a eugenics movement that finished in 1979, aimed at keeping the poor and mentally ill from having children. Now, decades on, one state is considering compensation.
2…Sir Winston Churchill once called for forced sterilisation of “the feeble-minded and insane classes”.
3…Sabra & Shatila, Gaza etc…………..only Palestinians
