…can England be far behind?
Everyone seemed stunned that in the idyllic country of Norway – which is allegedly one-of-the-top-5-places to live – could have spawned such an horrific massacre (I almost said ‘peace time’ disaster until I realized that many people are always at war…).
Norway is often equated with Switzerland when one looks at geo-political maneuverings and international violence. Heck! Many-of-us mistakenly think they’re the home of IKEA.
You would think that all those fiords and Jacuzzis and schnapps should soothe the savage beast instead of getting it riled up?!
So, let me see if I have this straight:
The butcher was distressed about Muslim influence in Europe/Norway – and decided to blow- up-and-away, a whole bunch of his countrymen (and women) – and the most carnage was wrought upon an island temporarily inhabited by young politicos.
If I have this right – a purportedly Christian looney tune massacred 70-some people to get his countrymen up-in-arms about the growing Muslim influence in Europe. I struggle to find a fitting analogy, suffice to say that I find such reasoning strange – and I hope others do too. I think this fellow loves to kill. As I analyzed his photographs in the media I saw him as a wannabe Red Dragon in the movie formerly named “Manhunter.”
And now the Brits are rioting in the streets. Who would have guessed that a-little-bit-of-austerity could get the downtrodden poor and minorities (with a dash of soccer, er, football hooliganism mixed in) in such a fearful uproar – particularly after a royal wedding?
But like Malcom X suggested about JFK’s assassination: the chickens always come home to roost. And now the former empire, upon which the sun never set, has seen plenty of the aforementioned Muslims, well actually, immigrants from any country that the Brits occupied (much like we Americans have) deciding to dwell in the sunshine of their conquerors. Dare I suggest that this is the penultimate example of “turn-about being fair play”?
“We’re getting our tax money back!” was the rationale of the looters. Wow! What a concept!! The more I think about it, however, the more this twisted logic appeals to me. I definitely want to use this line if anyone tries to fuck with my retirement.
This must be the end of the world as we know it! What with another stock market crash and yet another famine in Ethiopia…Wall Street seems to understand financial celibacy about as well as the Somalians understand the real deal (though I know that there isn’t a-whole-lot-to-do in Somalia except to make babies!).
“You’re all fucked!” says the Michael Douglas character in “Wall Street II” – “You’re the NINJA generation: No Income; No Job or Assets!” What a legacy is being left to the youth of this world.
HG told me that things have been getting crazy because Mercury is in retrograde. I don’t know much about Mercury in retrograde – but HG seems to think it explains the stock markets, England, Somalia and the Norwegian massacre. He’s probably right, but damn! If the Vikings are losing it – then, there-is-little-or-no-hope-for-the-rest-of-US…
