Unbearable human sin

Image
AP Photo/Charlie Riede Today, I am once again ashamed of being human. See more pictures from the Gulf Coast here ( link to the article. ). We are all guilty. But some are more guilty. This includes the hot air talking Obama, growth obsessed Chinese politicians. Do watch this video from Copenhagen Farce of last year. The video ( link to the video ) includes voice recordings from the last minute talks between China, India, Germany, France and USA. The recordings are in English, subtitled in German. BP was rather ambiguous, what they meant by  with their hip and greenwashed slogan "BP: Beyond Petroleum." I know what is beyond petroleum: DEATH. Watch their commercial ( link to the video ).

This is the sweetest baby I've ever seen

Meet Lomako. A orphaned Bonobo who is rehabilitating in the Lola Ya Bonobo Sanctuary in Congo. Unfortunately, there are humans who were cruel enough to kill her mother, and leave her to die. You can help the sanctuary with a Paypal donation: http://www.friendsofbonobos.org/support.htm Lomako is a onion lover like I am. In a way she's even bigger of an Onion fan. She can eat as much fresh onions as her own body weight!

Die Frau Koma Kommt (*)

So spoke the school director on the "lautsprecher", which was not "lauter" than the pistol shots. 10 young souls, they won't dream, love, get old or even die anymore. Once you die, you die. For what? For what? Don't tell me there is purpose in this world. Mein herzliches Beileid, to all the families, to all Germany... (*) The code for a Amok warning. Yes, they had procedures for this case too. Which probably saved many many more young souls.

Judas

Judas, the accountant of Jesus and the apostles, drawn by Nikolai Ge. Borges wrote 3 variations on Judas and the problem of evil. In one of them, he was the real saviour, and not Jesus. Dylan wrote this: Why didn't Jesus forgive Judas, and made his bowels explode in a field?

The Mother and her Little Boy

Enola Gay, You should have stayed home yesterday, Words can't describe, The feeling and the way you lied. These games you play, They are gonna end in tears one day, Aaah Shouldn't ever ended this way... ... Is mother proud of little boy today? This kiss you gave, Will never fade away... Enola Gay was the name of the plane that dropped the first atom bomb, the Little Boy. Enola Gay was named after the pilots mother. This imagery of a mother delivering a little boy is as disturbing as the jolly day trips of the staff of Auschwitz. Second World War was surely the pinnacle of human evil, which is the only evil in my mind.

In-bonobo

18 days and there is no end in sight for the situation in Gazza. I have written about my disgust at the unbelievable disrespect to human dignity and human life from both sides, and my disillusionment with political progress earlier . With no changes in sight to the cruelties, and stupidities on the politics side of things I want to write about something else, which caught my attention. We use the word "inhumane" when we are describing Israel bombing a school, or Hamas blowing up a bus in Israel and killing innocent people -who is an innocent person by the way?-. This is nothing but a misnomer to say the least. Humans are the only species on this earth who use their intelligence to lock their siblings underground for years, and rape them, who built factories of death to kill other humans, build atom bombs to kill hundreds of thousands in a slip second, and come up with ideologies which praise killing yourself and others as a backstage pass to some imaginary place. So these ...

Did I say the greatest democracy...

... about the United States? Maybe I should re-consider: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/news/view/20081214-177945/US-immigrant-beaten-in-attack-dies

Footballers hairstyles from good old times

"Footballers hairstyle" is a term in Turkey, which you use when your best friend gets a bad haircut -it is also wrongly for those good looking individuals with a mullet, but lets skip that. This section from German newspaper Welt, a collection of best haircuts from 80s Bundesliga, shows why it is true: http://www.welt.de/sport/article1196218/Eine_schrecklich_schoene_Familie.html

Feeling Sick Today

It's not physical sickness I mean- I am sick in that sense too, the weather pressure is alternating so rapidly that my sinuses are giving me a preview of hell. I am sick of the disgusting things that human beings can do... There is a song by Nick Cave and the Bas Seeds, about the Christian Saint Christina the Astonishing. Christina the Astonishing was a young lady from Belgium in Middle Ages. She is believed by modern doctors to be epileptic. She is struck by a such a strong seizure that people think she's dead, and put her in a coffin. During the prayer, she roses from her coffin and says shes been to purgatory and back. She spends her life running away from mankind by hiding in ovens, swimming in ice cold weather, and climbing trees. She cannot stand the stink of human sin, which she claims to smell after her trip to afterlife. I cried "The stink of human sin Is more that I can bear" like Christina after reading this gruesome news about a global pedophile ring tha...
