What did we expect?

So, US troops have been busy with the camera. It seems they have a strangely warped sense of what they think is funny as well. Having said that, this stuff has always gone during times of war, and will undoubtedly continue to do so, it’s just that we have so much more access to information and much easier methods of recording and distributing this stuff. We, the media receiving public are still so naïve on this type of thing.

The jury appears to be out on the British troops, although the Nanny Government seems to be doing their utmost to try and concoct some sort of smokescreen to ensure The Mirror is held up as being printing false information. Interestingly The Sun also seems to be pointing the finger at The Mirror (no surprise there then). However, according to the latest issue of Private Eye, this is massive turn around by The Sun, who but a few short weeks ago were warning of the imminent scandal regarding illicit photos. The Mirror got there first, and now The Sun seems intent on doing nothing but discrediting The Mirror and laying on the plaudits for our “brave boys”. I do not doubt their bravery, but if some have been stupid as well then this should also be exposed. If I can reproduce the article I will as it makes amusing reading and shows the tabs up for what they really are. The real war seems to be for circulation figures.

You may have guessed but I hate the tabloid press, especially The Liar (oops I mean The Sun). It is only surpassed in it’s hypocrisy by The Daily Fascist (sorry I mean The Daily Mail). I did admire Piers Morgan’s attempt to “lift the bar” with regards to The Mirror, but then the bloke just has a knack for doing something that completely undermines this, and the hypocrisy just keeps showing itself.

Anyway, the brutal filmed decapitation of Nick Berg was undoubtedly barbaric. No matter about what some idiot soldiers did to Iraqi prisoners, the execution of this non-military guy was completely uncalled for. I wonder how those US soldiers who meted out the abuse feel now?

However, did we really expect any other reaction from these Muslim fanatics? These are people who treat life like it’s an irritating wasp, there to be terminated on a whim. They don’t care for religion or God (who is also the Devil, two sides to the same person, as with us, whom “he” made in his likeness!) or for the circumstances of the people they execute. They do not have the capability to reason in a rational manner. They are uncivilised barbarian wankers who deserve whatever painful death is inflicted upon them. Not for them the right of justice. No courts or civilised fair hearings - just a painful, torturous death via Special Services. I seem to recall the old USSR method was to abduct, torture and kill, but with no publicity at all.

That’d be the best way, exact cold revenge, but without the oxygen of publicity. No film or photos. No mention in the news. Silence.

Later, Grocerjack
