Spin Zone

We’ve known for some time that most of the buildings in Arab countries are either baby food factories or orphanages. How else could so many children get killed, maimed or wounded by the constant wars. It’s kinda like watching World Cup soccer. You know, where one player steals the ball from another and the robbed player instantly falls to the ground writhing in agony, claiming he was fouled ... except in the Middle East it is a deadly game.

Arabs are always victims, especially those claiming to be “palestinians”, occupiers of a country that never was ... and never will be if they keep this up. Hezbollah is merely following Iran’s playbook, one that was written back in 1979. Back then the Iranians discovered that they could pretty much do as they pleased as long as they claimed to be victims of someone’s evil ... in that case, it was the Shah.

The United States made the biggest blunder in our history by allowing the Iranians to hold our embassy hostage for 444 days, thanks to the worst President we have ever had - Jimmy Carter. Nowadays, we are paying the price for the ineffective, wuss-out actions of Carter. Hezbollah and Iran are playing for the cameras. Welcome to the Spin Zone ....

Milking It?
(EU REFERENDUM) - August 1, 2006

Whatever else, the event in Qana was a human tragedy. But the photographs do not show it honestly. Rather, they have been staged for effect, exploiting the victims in an unwholesome manner.

In so doing, they are no longer news photographs - they are propaganda. And, whoever said the camera cannot lie forgot that photographers can and do.

Those lies have spread throughout the world by now and will be in this morning’s newspapers, accepted as real by the millions who view them.

The profession of photo-journalism thereby is sadly diminished by them, and the trust in those who took them and in those who carried them is misplaced. Truly, we are dealing with loathesome creatures.

- More on the miserable propaganda game being played by Hezbollah here ...

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
