Lately, things have truly taken a turn for the absurd. This article from The Australian has to be today’s first prize.

In 1976, Betty Williams won the Nobel Peace Prize for co-founding the Northern Ireland Peace Movement with Mairead Corrigan. Well, Williams was giving a speech to hundreds of school children on Monday, and, according to The Australian, had some amazing things to say:

"I have a very hard time with this word 'non-violence', because I don't believe that I am non-violent," said Ms Williams, 64.

"Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." Her young audience at the Brisbane City Hall clapped and cheered.

Truly wonderful sentiments from a Nobel Peace laureate, wouldn’t you agree? Here are some more of Williams’ accomplishments as described by The Peace Mission:

She serves on the Council of Honor for the United Nations University for Peace in Costa Rica and is a Patron for the International Peace Foundation in Vienna. Since then, she has been honored with the People’s Peace Prize of Norway, the Schweitzer Medallion for Courage, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award, the Eleanor Roosevelt Award and the Frank Foundation Child Care International Oliver Award. In 1992, Governor Ann Richards of Texas appointed Betty to the Texas Commission for Children and Youth. In 1995, she was awarded the Rotary Club International “Paul Harris Fellowship” and the Together for Peace Foundation Peace Building Award. Williams serves currently as President of World Centers of Compassion for Children. She is also Chair of The Institute for Asian Democracy in Washington, DC and a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Nova Southeastern University.

Nice credentials for a woman now telling a group of school children that she would love to kill the president of the United States, dontcha think?

In The Australian article, she was quoted as saying, “I don't know how I ever got a Nobel Peace Prize.” Neither do I, Betty. Maybe you should give it back if this is what you're going to use it for.

Apparently you are either weak, or you fail to grasp this womans wish.
I can understand her completely.

I would not mind at all to grab Dick Cheny by the throat and rip it out of his neck with my bare hands, and then I would wiggle his vocal chords at him and do some silly voices yapping at him with his own throat.

"Welcome to hell, Dick".

Now, let me tell you why you are here, staring at your throat.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
- Ezechiel 25:17

And as much as I would like to believe that there is a divine judgement for all of us when we die, in which Dick Cheney is tortured for eternity, screaming in agony next to the torture rack that holds Saddam. A place in hell for all the other world-leaders, a.k.a. m*therf#ckers that are the embodiment of "the selfish and the tyranny wielding evil men".

Sad really that there is no such thing as God.
And even if there is, is not out purpose to become like God, and in this, serve justice ourselves? Why is Saddam not dragged through the streets by his entrails? Why is Cheney not tortured to death?

Because there is no such thing as justice.
Because there is no such thing as God.
Because there is only power and weakness.

Well, so much for personal conviction. I guess we can now all state (if not believe) that peace is NOT the answer!

 

[KarlMarx]

I remember when people like Martin Luther King won the Nobel Peace Prize

Now it's Howdy Doodies like this one and Yassir Arafat.

It just goes to show you how what the word "Peace" means to the left.

Peace activists and their movements are sometimes violent and have been supported by some of the most brutal regimes on the planet.

"Peace" in new speak means "armed socialist revolution"

BTW.. I'd like to blow a hole in the president of the Netherlands head, but after I impale him on a stake right up the ass in front of his family. Not really.... just wondered how a foreigner feels when someone says the same of the leaders of his country. Statements like Harmageddon give new meaning to the term "the Low Countries"

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord. On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:19-21)

You can believe or not believe, your choice.

Peace is indeed not the answer. F#ck peace.
It’s nothing but stupid tree-hugging hippie-crap.
Save the earth my ass, it ain’t savin’ mine. Let’s rape it till it bleeds.

Full scale war is the answer. You people finally have me convinced. I want a gun now, I require no training: I can pull a trigger and am perfectly capable of spotting Muslims, even in densely crowded areas. I will shoot Christians on sight too, because they believe in the same crap of a single creator. In other words: they are too sides of the same coin.
They will all go to their afterlives, I’m happy killing them all. The knife cuts both ways, everybody’s happy. Way more effective than fake peace and “tolerance” i.e. putting up with sh!t you don’t like.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a senseless ritual. It means nothing.
The word “peace” is irrelevant in these Orwellian double-speak times.
“Peace is war”, remember? That’s what it means, at least to the US president.

Remember Nelson Mandela? He was a terrorist scumbag according to your beloved USA, when he was fighting the apartheid introduced by the Dutch. But did the CIA manage to snipe his sorry ass off? No, they failed. We should have gutted him ourselves, to put some respect for the law into those ******’s asses.

It’s just another word for “war”. Get it?

Ooowww…I’ve hurt you it seems. Take it as meant to be.
It’s only a matter of time before reality hands you your ass.
Maybe it hurts because it’s the truth, and your putty brain can’t handle it.

P.S.: Really, is it that hard to understand?
The Nobel Peace Prize is only ceremonial – it holds no value but for the person that receives it. It is rewarded to people that stand up to injustice or hypocrisy that is committed on a grand scale – i.e. by countries.

That is why Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi are considered people of peace. They fought colonial rule and empire, respectively. Mandela was imprisoned for it; Gandhi managed to break the harsh rule of the British.
The fact that you are too blind to see that America is at present the harsh colonial ruler that is imposing its will on the Iraqi and Afghan people while threatening to subdue Syria, Iran and whatnot with brute force, makes this woman’s statements at the beginning perfectly reasonable. Your current president will go down into history as a failed Hitler.

Your bubble will pop; it’s just a question of when.

Nienna, as much as I would like to believe this, I just cannot.
I cannot stand idly by watching the powerful turn the lives of the meek, the powerless and the weak into a living hell.
It is not that I constantly feel the need to kill your president or vice president, or Saddam for that matter. But sometimes it feels like it would really be the most honorable and just thing to do. Then again, I will not do it only if my own country is being invaded.

I know that Gandhi did do just that: seize to be violent, and thus seize to feed the British soldiers their anger that they needed to beat him to a pulp. It was very effective and speaks volumes about the sheer willpower of Gandhi.

As I have posted before, I do not believe there is a God, because I do not see the point of a God existing at all. The only reason I can come up with is that it gives us (the weak) a sense of justice beyond our control that will make up for all the suffering we endure by the hands of the wicked (and powerful). But this is just what the powerful want us to believe, because it stops us from questioning or acting against them.
And thus we bring the suffering upon ourselves. We fail to grasp the one thing that (according to the bible) God has trusted us with: the ability to distinguish between good and evil. We have it, yet we discard it all the same. Thanks, but no thanks, God.
You can judge everyone later.

Not my cup of tea. Sorry.
What I do like is the teachings of Jesus Christ, for I believe they ring true to this day.
Sadly, Jesus has also failed to reach the masses’ hearts – they sing the hymns, they preach together at Sunday, yet they do not grasp the full meaning of his teachings: stand up to injustice and the corrupt elite, stand up to those that say they have true knowledge of the scriptures, for they are lying. Everyone can understand them by themselves.
Trust in yourself. Really.

I'm sorry if I scared you, Nienna. It is just what boils up when I tap into the deeper, darker recesses of my soul. I'm not a psychopath, nor am I a pacifist. I am somewhat of a tree hugging hippie, but that is just because I feel the earth is magnificent and beatiful, as in the song by Lewis Armstrong: "Wonderful World".

Basically I was trying to understand the logic of those that are in favour of war. All I said were the talking points that have started wars so many times before, but then without the filter of fluffy clouds. Just the bones. You have to know the enemy before you can combat him. That's all.

Funny eh, that it sounds somehow true.
That's probably what makes it so scary.

As a great Greek philosopher once said:

"Why should I fear death?
When death is, I am not.
When I am, death is not.
Why should I fear that which cannot be when I exist?"

Why do you hate Dick Cheney so much? What did he ever do to you?

Well, looks like Harma woke up cranky this morning.

Dick Cheney did not do anything to me personally.

I just mentioned him to illustrate the point that people in power are there for a reason. Cheney represents corporate greed, power and utter disregard for the weak and powerless. He thus possesses the ingredients to rise to the power of vice-president.

Warmongering is always profitable for the select few, at the cost of the masses. That has always been, and will always be, the case. In democracies, it is the power of the informed populace that can hold their elected leaders accountable. It’s just sad that most people only realize this after the foreign policy has gone haywire.

What I despise about Cheney is that he is one of those shrewd people that profit from wars they convince other people to fight. It’s not just the fact that he profits from it, it’s the fact that he orchestrated it as well, knowing full well the profits it would generate.

That is called a “conflict of interest” and a large source of corruption on all levels of government and business alike. And I don’t know if Cheney is the guy with enough moral fiber to think people first and money later. Seems to me, he might not be.

Grin. Not so much cranky as weary. It is summertime; we are experiencing the second heat-wave this month and this year’s July is now officially recognized as the hottest July ever (since measurements began here in 1706).

That would all be reason to celebrate, were it not for the fact that I have to learn for an exam while writing my essay on brain connectivity in the network that comprises the circadian clock (i.e. biological daily rhythms).

Ah well, I'll live. And if climate change really gets up to speed, I have plenty of time to enjoy the mediterranian style summers in coming years.

If you don't believe in God, why are you quoting from the bible? Or did you just like that scene from Pulp Fiction?

Hey Harm....I think you need to take a trip down to Walletjes and relieve some stress.

You seem a little wound up.

Grin. No mate, the Walletjes is too far away, like a three hour drive.
And although I could blow off some steam at the local red district zone in the city where I live, I’m not really into that sort of stuff. Besides, my girl would kill me. Thanks for the advice though.

It’s going to be ok, don’t worry.

Bush, Cheney Release Information About Charitable Donations
By Grant Williams

Washington
President Bush and Vice President Cheney and their wives have released information about their contributions to charities last year.

President Bush and the first lady, Laura Bush, gave a total of $75,560 to churches and charitable organizations, some of which were involved in disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Katrina. The Bush gifts represented 12 percent of their taxable income of $618,694.

Vice President Cheney and his wife, Lynne Cheney, donated $6,869,655 to three organizations from the exercise of stock options and from Mrs. Cheney's book royalties.

The White House said that the organizations receiving gifts from President and Mrs. Bush included the American Red Cross (hurricane relief); the Archdiocese of New Orleans Catholic Charities; the Combined Federal Campaign, the federal government's annual charity drive; Martha's Table, a soup kitchen in Washington; the Mississippi Food Network, and the Salvation Army (hurricane relief and Pakistan earthquake relief).

The White House did not say how much money the Bushes contributed to specific organizations.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheney had announced in 2001 that they had arranged gifts of stock options, to be handled by an independent administrator (and gifts of money the Cheneys had received for corporate board service), that would eventually benefit Capital Partners for Education, which provides educational help to needy high-school-age children in the Washington area; George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates, in Washington, for what is now called the Richard B. and Lynne V. Cheney Cardiovascular Institute; and the University of Wyoming, for the benefit of the University of Wyoming Foundation.

In its announcement today, the White House did not specify how much money the Cheneys donated to each institution.

In some cultures, he would be king! Yes that is a rather obtuse reference to European monarchies.

Warmongering is always profitable for the select few, at the cost of the masses. That has always been, and will always be, the case. In democracies, it is the power of the informed populace that can hold their elected leaders accountable. It’s just sad that most people only realize this after the foreign policy has gone haywire.

It takes two to have a fight. What empowers the populations of the Muslim countries in the Middle East? How are their leaders held accountable? It seems to me the Arab leaders have some responsibility in the world situation.

What I despise about Cheney is that he is one of those shrewd people that profit from wars they convince other people to fight. It’s not just the fact that he profits from it, it’s the fact that he orchestrated it as well, knowing full well the profits it would generate.

I sincerely hope that your disdain extends to the Muslim leaders with as much (or more) vitrol.

That is called a “conflict of interest” and a large source of corruption on all levels of government and business alike. And I don’t know if Cheney is the guy with enough moral fiber to think people first and money later. Seems to me, he might not be. Your opinion is noted....

Blaming only the US leadership is rather shortsighted.

So "Cheney represents corporate greed, power and utter disregard for the weak and powerless", and thats good enough for you? Is there any proof of this "utter disregard for the weak and powerless"? Not sure what that really means, but I'm assuming you can elaborate. You seem to be echoing the generalizations about powerful and rich Republicans, but aren't backing any of it up with evidence.
