OK; let's recapitualte, what the Hell is going to happen now? And furthermore, what the Hell are we going to next year?

Anyway, what's done is done, and what's won is won, and what's left for us to do is to figure out a hell of a cunnig way to get ridd of the Fairytale befor it replace the National Anthem and complete the total brain wash of the population.

The Returner

I’m far from perfect. Even if I have my doubts from day to day taken the current mood to consideration; I like to think of myself as at least some skilled when it comes to social interaction. Normally I also manage quite well, mostly, to get in touch with people, and people that I know from before, friends, study buddies, friends of friends etc; I’m fairly easy going.

But today, that theory fell crushing towards the pavement as I walked off guard back home. Not to sound like a man of mysteries or a refuge, but there’s some parts of the past I’m less proud of. That I wish never happened or at least I could leave some situations for the parts of the memory that are least in use (like the part that makes you remember the ESC in Birmingham etc). Anyway; walking back home Friday afternoon with two guys from the Uni I of one or another strange reason turn my head around and out of nowhere a person I used to have some contact with, but which I hasn’t spoken to in nearly two and a half year, shows up just a few feet behind me. I haven’t been that bleedin’ shaken ever after moving here three years ago. Because this person where talking in his/her phone and where walking down a crossing street I manage to dodge any visual contact.

With the heart threatening to strangulate me we ended up in one of the southern parts of town, some 10 minutes walk from the point of “a bit too close contact”. Because the two other where suppose to walk a bit different then me to get home a joined them for some minutes on an additional bend on my rout back. Then, just to celebrate the fact that this was my last day at the Uni for this term, I dropped by a marked. I just had to buy some cupcakes. Standing in the queue I was re-experiencing parts from the upper secondary. Even the voice was back and this person seemed to haven’t changed to much either, so suddenly some parts of me where back in time and some unwanted feelings returned. Sometimes I get this feeling that; if you wish a thing more than anything, it will never happen, but if you really wish things not to happen, be sure they will. ‘Cause once more, out of nowhere this person comes walking just a meter in front of me. Fearing that he/she on a stage or another should watch back I saw that I couldn’t keep those meters behind, so, without to think too much I withdraws in a second and walks a extra round around the block. After that I took an alternative rout around the highway and avoided another “confrontation”.

I’m not proud of this, honestly I’m sad. Utter mournful. It’s hard since this is a person I was (and still are) found of. And that I avoided any contact is more a personal thing; a really don’t know where to continue after this years and happenings. It's frightfully hard to explain this.

-The Politburo.

Virkeligheten er bedre.

Refser Sponheim: -Finansministeren med lyskespark mot Lars Sponheim.

Dette var altså budskapet i Bergens Tidene i dag. Og undertegnede kunne ikke ha ønsket seg noe mer i Kjell Aukrust ånd. Selv om dette kanskje kunne ha vært enda bedre:

Halvorsen leverte lyskespark: -Sponheim truffet og refset.

Illustrasjon av hendelsen inkludert de eksterne faktorene.

Vel talt, Frode, vel talt.

Godt noen endelig får det ut.

Vanskelig lesning.

Dagbladet rapporterer i dag om at Israel begikk grove krigsforbrytelser under offensiven på Gazastripa i vinter. Det er juristen Finn Lynghjem, som er knyttet til Office of the High Representative i Bosnia Herzegovina som har vært med på å utarbeide rapporten sammen med IFFCG (Independent Fact Finding Committee on Gaza) etter en forespørsel fra palestinernes eneste virkelige venner, den Arabiske Liga. Ikke bare konkluderer de med det har blitt begått krigsforbrytelser (fra begge parter), men at den israelske hæren har oppfylt de objektive kravene til folkemord.

Kritiske røster vil garantert angripe No Safe Place rapporter. Israel vil garantert nekte for innholdet og Obama vil vel neppe være den som presser på saken. Symptomatisk nok for staten Israel nektet de en hver form for deltakelse i etterforskninga (Del 1, B, pk. 2)

Likevel er det som kommer frem stygg lensing, på siden 23, er det vel liten tvil i at den israelske hæren, IDF, har brukt klasevåpen, anti-tank ammunisjon er funnet i hjem og 7 tilfeller av fosforgranater. Uansett er det vel uttalelsen til en israelsk soldat til avisa Haaretz at:

… anyone who remained in the sector and inside Gaza City was in effectcondemned, a terrorist, because they hadn’t fled.

Eller som en annen samtale 8se side 25) han hadde vært deltaker i hadde blitt avsluttet med

We need to murder any person who's in there. Yeah, any personwho's in Gaza is a terrorist,'

Med den logikken så går jeg utifra at den Israelske overkommandoen trolig ville ha nikket anerkjennene til SS sitt arbeide i Warzawa i 1943, sett at det etniske opphavet til de som utfordret autoriteteten (og politisk sett bodde på feil sted) hadde vært en smule mer orientalsk.

Det er svært liten som kan få meg mer forbanna enn å lese gjennom dette; tett opp mot 1:3-1:4 av de drepte palestinerne var unger, halvparten av de skadde kan risikere permanente fysiske handikap. 167 politmenn drept, 60 politistasjoner ødelagt (80 politimenn ble drept i løpet av konfliktens føste minutter fordi stasjonene var primær mål (side 90); hvem som skal utøve den legitime bruken av makt er vel ytterst diffus. Systematisk ødeleggesle av næringsliv (som var det Morten Høglund fokuserte på de 6 timene har var i Gaza). Utenriksdepartementet, Utdanningsdepartementet, Finansdepartemente, Innenriksdepartementet og bygget til Gazas 15 representanter til nasjonalforsamling er helt eller delevis ødelagt. På side 100 er det også noen fine eksempler på israelske hilsner på husvegger.

Have you ever wondered what hell looks like? Well ... look
around you bitch! Ha Ha Ha”.

Pk 411. 3 slår videre også fast at:

Israel announced that the purpose of its offensive was to destroy the“infrastructure of terrorism”. However, little attempt was made to bomb Hamasstrongholds in the aerial bombing or the land offensive. Instead decidedly “nonterrorist”,non-Hamas targets were attacked such as the
American School andother schools, United Nations premises, hospitals, mosques, factories, businesses,neighbourhoods not generally sympathetic to Hamas and cultural institutions.

Jeg merker at jo mer jeg leser dette jo vanskligere blir det å huske at det er en anti-krigs opposisjon innad i Israel, men at med den sittende Netanyahu-Liberman koalisjonen neppe er de som vil stå iveien for et nytt blodbad. Mer orker jeg egentlig ikke å si; les rapporten om du har interesse av det og vær klar over enkelte sterke bilder og vitneforklaringer.

Norway's Thatcher

Today the Conservatives launched their the national convent in Oslo, and the Conservatives is continuing to do the only thing they know; speaking, talking and converse within. And, of course, be angry. Conservatives are always angry; well dressed and angry. In other words: all silent at the Right Wing and no needs for wasting time. At the far right however, the Progress Party are on the move. More precisely, their Leadership is moving towards the Tories and Westminster.

Under the headline “A Norwegian Thatcher” ms Jensen speaks warmly and enthusiastic about the reign of Maggie Thatcher, the deeds of Sarah Palin and French president Nikolas Sarkozy. Not to mention her view of Israel, and quoting “It is a country that respects human rights, respects all the things that we place very highly here”. Of course, the so called western (democratic) values is that it’s utter legitimate to reject elections results as long wrong party wins, internment without trial of civilians and parliamentarians, expelling and seizure of land and property. Guess such values are those belonging to a “classic liberal party”, as she states that they are. At least pretending to be.

Interestingly Jensen suddenly shows interest in women in Afghanistan, and even of one or another bizarre reason that Thatcher actually was a great feminist, and that British women got a better life during her 11 years as Prime Minister. Well, I don’t know not too much about internal British social policy during the 80s beyond what took place up in the North Eastern parts of Ireland; but let’s just use a learning from the global scene: when welfare get privatized the women is the first to feel the disadvantages (wage cuts, part time jobs, health care efficiency (more for less) and the jolly fight for survival between family “duties” and working life “duties”). And by the way, in her world the man to blame for the finance crisis is Bill Clinton. Sure, if she says so.

Bruce Bawer, the man behind the article, in STANDPOINT, after claiming Attac and Klassekampen as Communist institutions, states that “If she wins power, she may yet provide a model of gutsy liberalism and immigration common sense for all of Europe”. Siv Jensen as a saviour. Who had belived that some years ago? But, is it anything to belive in at all? A "saviour" who argues for Israeli killing of Palestinians in the same way Ian Paisley argued that no killed Catholics where innocent. A "saviour" who blames the media for their misstakes, a "saviour" who's largest enemy comes from within, from a minority within the minority, the immigrants. A "saviour" which rather interrupt in the local democracy rather than show will of co-operation and withdraw from taking unpopular decitions. A true Thatcher.

If Jensen is the new Thatcher, I’m truly a Irish Republican. So hands of the Phoenix (In the article the rise of the Progress Party are compared with the rising Phoenix). And sooner or later the Norwegian Thatcher will find a Norwegian Brighton.

Robert Gerard (Bobby) Sands MP 9.3.1954 - 5.5.1981

In memory of a man who payed the ultimate price for his visions, his dreams and canonized the single most dramatic event of the Troubles after Bloody Sunday. A man, which policy made the end justifying the means in the same way his executers justified their cruelty against an entire nation. He was perhaps a IRA commander, but, at his time of death, he was elected Member of Parliament for Fermanagh & South Tyrone, perhaps one of few ever elected to Westminster to really scarify everything for the cause of his land. In every case, despite the fact he wasn’t God’s best child on this Earth, he wasn’t more a terrorist than just another freedom fighter. A product of his time and place and origin. A man who made republicanism possible, gave boost to the national struggle for those suppressed, showed that life and equality and the longing for it is a case beyond the limits of man, or woman; that the cause and the greater good is something worth dying for. A Rebel life is temporary; a hero’s death is eternal. Those 100.000 following you to the grave knows.

Collins returned in Safety

BERGEN (NTB/TASS): The founder of Fine Gael, former president of the Executive Committee, IRA commander and revolutionary Michael Collins was today located in a shelf in southern parts of Bergen after he went missing four months ago. He was, after the conditions, in a grand shape and where residing as the closest neighbour to Sophia Myles and Big Brother. Refusing to budge to the London based BB and the British vicar daughter, miss Myles, he seemed rather relief to be relocated to a dig where the Data Inspectorate acts with full sovereignty and monopoly in use of legitimate force to cope with the IngSoc.

Mr. Collins also appreciated Ronan Keating’s efforts in bringing Denmark to the top position in the EuroSong final in Moscow later this month, as he after a short report concerning Finance Minister Brian Lenihan’s budget for 2009 faced the fact that neither Ireland nor RTE may afford holding two semi-finals and a final. Big Brother didn’t comment Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s interference in the British contribution.

1. Mai i Bergen

Kammerater!

Morgenstemning på Møhlenpris.

To dager for seint, men gratulerer med dagen som var! Dagen ble, som forventet, hektisk. Ut til frokost med Nei til EU, RU, SU, SOS Rasisme, Tjen Folket, Ottar, Palestinakomiteen, Marxistisk Forum og hvem det nå enn var som fylte opp stua på Møhlenpris i morgentimene. Dagen ellers gikk med til vandring rundt i byen med røde flagg for å slutte seg til Nei til EUs egne markering på Tårnplassen, eller Vågsallmenningen som vi først trodde, etterfulgt av en sosialistisk anektering av (deler av) Byparken og Øvre Ole Bulls plass til mange forbipasserendes stygge blikk. Tror ikke de helt fattet hvor gøy vi hadde det. I det minste var vi av de som brukte dagen som den er meint for: markering til fordel for det alternativet vi har. Avsluttet dagen i byen med appellene på Torgallmenningen av Roald Flåthen. Må vel egentlig innrømme at det blir hikklersk av Flåthen å stå der å prater varmt om et anstendig arbeidsliv, likestilling og advarer mot at de borgelige vil svekke arbeidstakernes innflytelse. Eller det at FrP ønsker flere midlertidig ansatte. Mye det samme er jo det som kommer gjennom Tjenestedirektivet som Arbeiderpartiet fikk trumfet igjennom. Om jeg har forstått det rett så vil den politikken som LO støtter opp om bety "nei til høyresamfunnet og ja til Jens", hvor Jens gir garantier han, i form av regjeringen, ikke vil kunne følge opp, så viser vel dette bare hvor sårt EU-spørsmålet er hos Landsorganisasjonen. Synes det blir for dumt å angripe FrP når EU innfører samme politikk, eller nekter å gi garantier.

Uansett, det er ei lita stemme hos meg som ønsker tjenetedirektivet, og forsovidt også FrP og Høyre-styre. Ikke fordi jeg tror det kommer veldig mye possitivt ut av det, men rett og slett fordi når velferden forsvinner, streikeretten begrenses, lønningene går ned, forskjellene øker, samfunnsgodene privatiseres, makten privatiseres hos eliten og informasjonsflyten forsvinner i form av foretningshemmeligheten, da, da samler vi ett fem siffret antall personer på Torgallmenningen. Vi kan ikke drive kassekamp før vi har noe å kjempe for.

Gratulerer med dagen som var, nok en gang.
