Life is just a ride, it goes up and down and round and round. The more riders we meet, the more obvious the arbitrariness of social conventions become. Among all that seems superficially different lye some fundamental similarities.

We get trained to accept the current society as necessary for our survival as species, and even more importantly, as 'nation'. The need for 'a leader' is hammered into our heads from multiple directions. We tend to forget that those moment in life that shaped it essentially, when we fell in love, when we witnessed birth or death, when we felt one with the universe, know no leader.

Life happens, within us and around us, and while we can pay attention to some events others evade us.  Luckily, a lot of interesting events require the participations of a large number of people. You have already missed out on a lot of fun (and some less fun) action if you didn't hang out with occupy yet, yet the evolution needs you as well.

Technology has created a wealth that can easily support every human being on this planet, although most of it found its origin in weapons research. War is still an accepted tool for inter-'national' relations, and a highly profitable area for the application of high tech. The abundance of technological achievements, especially fuelled by Open Source and Creative Commons, could mean an end of all toiling as wage slave.

Some people just do the things they consider beneficial to the well-being of their community. Mankind got mindfucked to believe that technological abundance would lead to a breed of couch potato imbeciles. Well, the experiment in social engineering succeeded to some degree.

The retaliation wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention Pakistan, were never declared, just started.  The same holds true for the war against the population of the Western World, which started in 2008 with the first so-called GFC. De facto, it opened the gates to legal economic slavery, just like the feudal system that plagued Europe for many centuries.

The Icelandic people understood that bowing to the IMF meant slavery to bail out the gambles of a feudalistic banking system. The Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and many other European citizens realise that they got sold out by their Goldman-Sachs appointed heads of state.

Let's minimise the use of 'war' money, and experiment with our own currencies. Why not design fancy notes and pay occupiers for the time they spend for the movement?

Torturing for peace

Barak Obama, president of the once glorious United States of America, has been awarded with the Nobel prize for Peace. The magic negro strikes again. A Republican commented that Obama got this prize for his 'awesomeness', and, besides any more sinister explanations, this seems like the main motivation.

So what has Obama done (besides being awesome, especially as a speaker) to deserve this honour? Nothing. What has he done to make this peace prize one of cruelest farces of the 21st century? Heaps.

The US continues to have military bases in nearly 100 foreign countries (no blame for Obama here, just establish the warlord status). The US has invaded two countries in the 21st contury (no blame here either for Obama), and continues to occupy them, and has no plan to pay reparations for the damages done to these countries. O, I nearly forgot about the covert war in Pakistan... The Bush administration systematically used torture and deployed legislation with a spirit that predates the Dark Middle Ages, and Obama continues to run torture camps like Guantanamo Bay, Bagram and Abu Ghraib.

So what makes someone who talks about change but continues a system of injustice, war and violence worthy of receiving the Nobel Prize for Peace? That he didn't 'officially' invade another country in his first year as POTUS, although the US foreign policy of this millenium has killed and displaced millions of people, but that he kept the US invasion in northern Pakistan under cover? That he kept the peace with the global banking crooks by paying billions of dollar as bailout ransom?

It's kind of cynical that the most belligerent part of nations (the 'western' cultures) nominate a 'peace' prize. Violence has replaced diplomacy, reason vanished
from international politics, paranoid angst dominates. At least the lies that led to the invasion of Iraq are in the public domain now, yet this has not changed anything about the attitude towards the bizarre status quo.

I got it now. Obma deserves the peace prize because he brings peace of mind. When I close my eyes and listen to his reassuring, dynamic, charismatic voice, and just believe what I hear, beautiful images emerges. The cries of pain, desperation, humiliation of tortured souls in US prison camps get muted, the blood soaked soil fertilized a colourful field of wild flowers, the bomb aatacks, fighter strikes and skirmishes become part of a Bruce Willis movie, without a screen to be even recognised, the stench of carbit, blood and rotten flesh transforms into the joyous smell of freedom and democracy. That's it. Obama brought peace of mind to those who are blind to facts.

Man, I'm glad that I took some time to vent my anger about this bit of news. I mean, without thinking about it at a deeper level I could have gotten stuck with my anger, instead of discovering the evil geniality in this nomination. It's all a show, and global politics reflects the assumptions of our dominators.

Shortly after this millenium began, the US went on a global rampage to sponsor their war industry and to secure energy supplies. The ignorance towards international law and human rights wss demonstrated by creating a legislation that would have made Nazi Germany proud: Rendition, Military Commissions Act, sub-human terror suspects, torture instruction devised by higher parts of the administration.

The trouble is, history has yet to uncover the role of the US military-industrial complex as muscle for global corporatism. While the US empire reigns, only communists, islamists, conspirologists and other forms of terrorists dare to interpret world events in this way. More than million dead Iraqis, health professionals supervising torture techniques in camps banned from UN inspection, US military fighting in Pakistan are presented as inevitable byproducts. Temporary insanity.

Propaganda has reached the global stage. Countries act only as umbrella for global corporatism. International cooperation allowed for centuries, if not millenia to circumvent undesirable local conditions. Dyncorp, Halliburton, Blackwater and the likes have sponsored both sides of the political game, as long as the wars go on, their revenues continue to grow. The corporate monster identifies a target, and then gangs up on them, often led by the US or Israel. Global media ties allow to delude the population of the gang member countries (coalition of the willing, eg) with similar bullshit.

That's how the GFC happened. Each country needed their 'own' ways to pay the ransom money, and how to justify this blatant redistribution of taxes. Picture this: A skinny, heroin addicted street hooker (the economy). Her pimp (the global banking industry) gambled the money for her heroin away, Economy trembles and shakes from the withdrawal and attracts less business. Not enough for the next shot, a seemingly vicious cycle. But no pimp is a loner, and so he asks his friends (heads of national governments) for help. Can't you give me some money for dope from your taxpayers? I can't use her in that state! You're doing something for her health. That's how you can sell it to your sheeple.

With more heroin pulsing through her veins, Economy can stand on her feet again. ALthough still jittery, her skilled hands bring her regular customers (the global-in-local-in-global markets) up. The Market's cum spurts into the media, mystified by newspeak. The stimulus packet has revived the market.

O my Ganesh, another good reason for Obama's peace prize. That was his birth as magickal negro, 'solving the financial crisis'. Do torture camps and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan really matter in comparison?

War is peace. That's our dominators attitude, and that's why warlord Obama got the Nobel prize for Peace.
