Only More Empty Words From Sharon

The sooner Israel wakes up and realies that Ariel Sharon is an unlimited liability the better off we will all be. This problem affects all of us, the fact that the US government has been bought by everyone and his dog merely serves to compound the problem. There are larger things going on here, things that never make the light of day things that probably only a handful of people on the planet really know. I'm not being paranoid here, do the research and see as many sides of the story as you can. I started out believing in all of them, I thought Gulf War 1 was a good idea because I went along with all of the propaganda and CNN turning the whole thing into a spectacle. Shit, I remember the TVs in the school hall (something that NEVER happened before). Most of the time I have no idea what's going on, the stuff I post here is stuff I find - that does not mean I always believe it either in whole or in part! One thing that I do know is that this world is getting more fractious and violent with each passing day and that is not a good thing. There are those who say that chaos is necessary for the system to evolve to a higher, more "advanced", state of existence - is it really or is it just because no-one has ever thought of a better way of doing things? Surely the human race shouldn't need to go through a major war every 100 years simply to continue its evolution? Question is; how do we change it? Click here if you want to tell me what you think...

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has presented a new political option - unilateral measures that "might include moving settlements." These declarations might give the impression that Sharon is aware of the prevailing political situation and the public feeling it has generated, and that he realizes the limitations of his policies so far. A naive observer could be led to believe that Sharon is prepared to roll up his sleeves and lead Israel into a new reality.

These would be glad tidings if Sharon were to outline his plan and clarify the substance of his conditions for promoting the plan. However, from the prime minister's vague declarations, it is difficult to comprehend what his true intentions are. At one time, he says a unilateral solution should be considered only if it is clear the Palestinians are tripping up the road map.

Another time, he talks of possible unilateral steps even before it becomes obvious the road map is not going to be implemented. What Sharon does not explain is what exact conditions will lead him to conclude that the Palestinians are "bringing about the failure" of the road map, how long he would like to study the success of the road map, and what Israel's "contribution" might be to the failure of the road map.

Unilateral steps do not necessarily augur well - for example, the separation fence, which is a unilateral measure that has created new complications because of the problematic route chosen for its construction. The prime minister has not clarified what these unilateral steps are that he is threatening - or promising - to take. If indeed he is talking about a substantial withdrawal from the territories, dismantling settlements and not merely make-believe gestures, unmanned outposts, and extending Palestinian control in the territories from which the army will withdraw, then why not arrive at understanding and agreement on these points with the Palestinian government? After all, these steps would in any case be a partial implementation of the principles of the road map.

A declaration of intention to take unilateral steps, even if sincere, would not leave those who are trying to promote a political solution to the conflict without concern. In a situation where there is no recognized or authorized body on the other side of the unilateral border - which would grant recognition to the move - the unilateral step could become devoid of significance. In the face of lack of recognition, Israel could lose the full benefits which appear to be part of a unilateral move.

It is also possible that international pressure would not let up if there are unilateral moves where benefits are not apparent. From Sharon's statements, one has the impression that he plans to compensate for "painful concessions" by acts of unilateral annexation, in order to appease the extremists in his party, the ultra-right parties and the settlers. Unilateral annexations would merely fan the flames of conflict.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
