This takes the wind out of the sails of the conspiracy theorists who said that the terrorism was a reaction to the occupation. There is no occupation. The US troops have come in, set up democratic institutions, then left, exactly like they said they were going to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that it took 9 years instead of 9 days to set up the new democratic institutions is immaterial. It was always just a technical task to do, and the US has done an excellent job, and everyone believes (because it is true) that the new institutions are a fresh start for Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now we have a democracy, Iraq, under terrorist attack. Exactly as the situation was on 9/11. What do we make of this? After 9/11 the big question was "OK, who do we start bombing now?", and the superficial answer appeared to be "Arab Muslims" or similar. But thanks to Iraq we can now see that that would have been an unfair target. Because the Shia Arab Muslims in Iraq are under attack from the same sort of Sunni terrorists that the US was. The Shia of Iraq should now be off the US's "genocide list". They have been given a chance to save their lives - the US did the moral thing here instead of violently lashing out at everyone. Honestly, the US deserves a lot of kudos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what's the solution? Well we're hoping the Iraqi Shia can answer that question for us, now that they have skin in the game. One Iraqi Shia that I spoke to estimated that 99% of Iraqi Sunni were bad. I don't think the figures are quite that bad, but they are pretty bad, with &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6983841.stm"&gt;93%&lt;/a&gt; supporting attacks on coalition forces (when they were there).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyway, there has been a 10 year hiatus since 9/11, but thanks to the Iraq war we are now we're well-positioned to ask the question again - who are these people that are attacking democracies, and who do we need to kill to stop them? Their reasons for attacking are less important (other than a means to identify them), as democracies should not be surrendering to terrorist threats. The UK spent a lot of effort to make it clear it wouldn't give in to IRA terrorism - although it was willing to assist in preventing the Catholics from feeling disenfranchised. The same thing can be done with the Sunni in Iraq - there should be a place for peaceful non-terrorist-supporting Sunni in the new Iraq, although that appears to be a minority at the moment. Interestingly we don't seem to have a problem with the Sunni Arabs in Tunisia and Libya, so the challenge remains to identify the enemy in the War on Terror. Of course, I have previously identified the enemy in message 666 (religious bigots etc), but I have yet to figure out what specific factors are causing people to fall into the enemy vs ally camps.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6993940364059880223?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6993940364059880223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6993940364059880223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2012/01/911-game-on.html' title='9/11 Game On'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2694956336212808450</id><published>2011-12-23T23:15:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-23T23:23:51.737+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Democracy Will Prevail</title><content type='html'>Let's hope so &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-16312065"&gt;Chen Wei&lt;/a&gt;, let's hope so.

And arsehole Chinese who support their dictator and call Hu Jintao a kind man should hang their heads in shame. It would be good to see the Chinese making another attempt to get a democracy. The military may not be willing to open fire this time around. It's a terrible tragedy that unarmed Chinese need to face automatic weapons though. There will be no help from the West for this country. Although there are other plans to implement trade sanctions with the Chinese economy now dependent on exports. Let's see, let's see.

I wouldn't give anything to anyone until that pillar is in place. But it is indeed in place in Afghanistan, and I had &lt;a href="http://www.afghanwarrior.blogspot.com"&gt;Waheed&lt;/a&gt; as an intermediatry. So I gave him some money and asked him to buy some school supplies for kids and get some photos, which he did. So here are the photos (all taken back in 2006). I asked Waheed to tell the kids that the supplies were from Australia, not USA, because I want them to know that this action has nothing to do with America. There are plenty of non-US troops in Afghanistan and the mission has nothing to do with America in particular. Spreading freedom is something common to many countries. I spent hours looking at the first picture when I received it (by itself). It was wonderful to be able to bring a smile to someone's face for such a small gift. Afghanistan is great value for money. The tall guy in the blue shirt in the first picture might be 18 now and might even be signing up to the Afghan National Army. He looks like the sort of guy who would be good to have on your team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c15B9S78ffo/TvMDIV9PPlI/AAAAAAAAACw/4-iDq7Ky5mQ/s1600/afghan1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c15B9S78ffo/TvMDIV9PPlI/AAAAAAAAACw/4-iDq7Ky5mQ/s400/afghan1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688894196166901330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o9_wraLNyGc/TvMDQBCzb4I/AAAAAAAAAC8/0lJDgIkKI3Q/s1600/afghan2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o9_wraLNyGc/TvMDQBCzb4I/AAAAAAAAAC8/0lJDgIkKI3Q/s400/afghan2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688894327992053634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s-hIXhj0Ocw/TvMD5Z7xXmI/AAAAAAAAADs/dfmh7KsypM4/s1600/afghan3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s-hIXhj0Ocw/TvMD5Z7xXmI/AAAAAAAAADs/dfmh7KsypM4/s400/afghan3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688895039048080994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4cgzlnOlnI/TvMDzK9KM9I/AAAAAAAAADg/WofefXh_OJs/s1600/afghan4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z4cgzlnOlnI/TvMDzK9KM9I/AAAAAAAAADg/WofefXh_OJs/s400/afghan4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688894931948155858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sJ0y2trp5gY/TvMDsdDQSiI/AAAAAAAAADU/1h2_-3uWaxc/s1600/afghan5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sJ0y2trp5gY/TvMDsdDQSiI/AAAAAAAAADU/1h2_-3uWaxc/s400/afghan5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688894816546474530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AzALG6OS7Sk/TvMDmNiqQ-I/AAAAAAAAADI/pI7B1TrUIE4/s1600/afghan6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AzALG6OS7Sk/TvMDmNiqQ-I/AAAAAAAAADI/pI7B1TrUIE4/s400/afghan6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688894709304017890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4120600836095566370?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4120600836095566370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4120600836095566370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/afghan-kids.html' title='Afghan Kids'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c15B9S78ffo/TvMDIV9PPlI/AAAAAAAAACw/4-iDq7Ky5mQ/s72-c/afghan1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8430064080316806865</id><published>2011-12-19T21:00:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-19T21:39:10.780+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Time for Nuclear War</title><content type='html'>Great news! Kim Jong Il is &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16239693"&gt;dead&lt;/a&gt;. The heir apparent unfortunately does not appear to be a reformer who will introduce democracy, but is instead someone who is just as big a bastard as his father and grandfather. And the guy is young, which means we can look forward to his despotic rule for another 50 years, during which they will almost certainly be able to perfect their nuclear capability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's time to seize the moment. Survival of the human race is at stake. I don't want to see this peanut threatening the world with nuclear annihilation in 40 years from now. Whatever he has - let's get it out into the open now. And if China wishes to join in - let's get that rogue nation to show its true colours too so that we can fight a proper Cold War with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My recommendation is to forget about Syria and Iran for now. Do an airborne landing in North Korea, secure an airfield, then strike out to a port city. Do all this from aircraft carriers, not South Korea. Let South Korea scream obscenities about all this so that hopefully North Korea doesn't attack Seoul, which is in artillery range. If Seoul is attacked by artillery, then don't fuck around - literally nuke the artillery positions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully there will be a short period of confusion in North Korea, as Kim Jong-un hasn't solidified his position yet. That's why now is the time to strike. The US troops have left Iraq now, and had a chance for a short break, so now it's time to redeploy to where they're needed for the future of humanity. Oh, and a good thing about this war is that it already has UN approval, as the previous UN approval never expired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nuclear weapons are a real downer, and we need to be honest about these damn things and get the threat out into the open. Collect Pakistan's nukes too. We just need to live with whatever damage they can do before we get our hands on them. Better that than our descendants needing to deal with a larger arsenal.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8430064080316806865?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8430064080316806865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8430064080316806865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/time-for-nuclear-war.html' title='Time for Nuclear War'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-911182844432890221</id><published>2011-12-18T16:42:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T17:05:39.968+11:00</updated><title type='text'>They're Out!</title><content type='html'>The US troops have finally &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16234723"&gt;left Iraq&lt;/a&gt;. That is fantastic news and the screws can now finally be turned on the "war for oil" argument, with all troops gone and no evidence of a drop of oil being stolen. All that's been left is a democracy. Exactly as stated all along. The anti-war has always been completely morally and politically bankrupt. They just repeated the same lie again and again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it's time for a short breather and then send them in again to some appropriate place like Iran or Syria. And from now on it's all hit and run. No more nation-building. Just the initial 3.5 week war or whatever it takes, then out. Let's see what we get from that. We should get something that looks like Libya today. I can explain and defend why nation-building was important in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that's what many blog posts in the past have been about. But from now on, it's wham, bam, thankyou ma'am. Let's do it boys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The future is looking very bright when we know we can topple a country like Iraq in 3.5 weeks for the loss of about 100 allied lives. So long as we seize opportunities like Syria instead of squandering them, we should be able to turn the world to our ideology instead of the bankrupt challengers. We're so bloody close. All that's required is a bit more patience and a bit more violence.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-911182844432890221?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/911182844432890221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/911182844432890221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/theyre-out.html' title='They&apos;re Out!'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8791786864408285125</id><published>2011-12-15T07:06:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T07:38:47.461+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Friendly Dictators</title><content type='html'>It's good to see that the US is &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16154331"&gt;planning ahead&lt;/a&gt; by courting Uzbekistan. But they should never have pissed off Uzbekistan in the first place. We do not have the luxury of being able to piss off friendly dictators. We've never had that luxury. We still haven't defeated our actual enemy governments. With Pakistan cutting off our supply routes into Afghanistan, we need to be thankful that the Uzbek dictator is willing to forgive the Americans for past criticism. And hopefully that will include the regular yearly criticism from the State Department when it does its sweep of all countries in the world honestly pointing out their flaws (ie produce a list of things that would be compulsory fixed if the US had a magic wand, which it doesn't). The US should have just left its quiet yearly criticism in, and left it at that. It should never ever have poked the Uzbek dictator in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course there's another route into Afghanistan - via Iran. I would take a dual strategy of being nice to the Uzbek dictator as well as liberating Iran and seeing if that opens up new options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Syria is hanging on a thread too. With the Russians able to cut their supply route, and having to rely on the Uzbeks, we're between a rock and a hard place. Basically we're forced to say "no" to Syrian freedom fighters, or forced to pull out of Afghanistan. We need some more liberations to give more options. Even invading Pakistan is an option. We need to collect their nukes, after all. And also do something about those tribal territories, such as give them to Afghanistan and bring them under control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well that's a tough calculation to do. There is evidence that the US government is competently working the problem. Also evidence that it is being incompetent - poking friendly dictators in the eye. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. It's difficult to predict how they're going to sort out this mess. Difficult to give advice too. There doesn't seem to be a good solution. Just some bad options to choose between.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd say that you can't go wrong by liberating Iran - so get that out of the way first. It's way overdue anyway. And be prepared to abandon Afghanistan - the important work there has already been done. Afghanistan has an undefeatable military already - and it is loyal to Afghan's constitution rather than some dictator. I would like to see how Afghanistan copes on its own anyway. It would provide a missing military data point I'd like to have for my calculations.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8791786864408285125?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8791786864408285125'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8791786864408285125'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/friendly-dictators.html' title='Friendly Dictators'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3315676536324435194</id><published>2011-12-13T20:22:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-13T20:40:25.827+11:00</updated><title type='text'>UK Please Liberate Syria</title><content type='html'>Open Letter to David Cameron, Prime Minister of the UK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently worked out an agreement of terms with a Syrian citizen for a war of liberation. You can see that at &lt;a href="http://www.mutazilah.org/liberation_contract.htm"&gt;http://www.mutazilah.org/liberation_contract.htm&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I am an Australian citizen, I then requested my government to take action based on the terms of that contract. You can see my letter at &lt;a href="http://www.antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/11/syrian-contract.html"&gt;http://www.antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/11/syrian-contract.html&lt;/a&gt; . Unfortuntely I didn't even get a "no" response from my apparently closed government (or maybe Julia knows I didn't vote for her).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately Australia has a left-wing government (I voted for the right-wing party), and our left-wing governments have a recent track record of ignoring cries for freedom, e.g. by pulling our troops out of Iraq before the job was done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am thus appealing to the UK, a fellow liberal democracy, to do what Australia is too immoral to do - liberate Syria. My Syrian contact has appealed to me again, here is what he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Assad's army has been sent tanks into the Kurdish areas, we are what we do after the arrival of tanks? we really want to help, we are what we do without help?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is quite right in recognizing the harsh reality of the situation. I know enough about automatic weapons to know that there is nothing that he can do. If there isn't already, there should be a concept known as "free people's burden", ie anyone who is already lucky enough to be free should be freeing others. Please don't let my unarmed Syrian friend be brutally crushed by Assad's tanks. I know it is within your power to prevent that from happening. I know that you have a volunteer army at your disposal that is trained and willing to help those who are unable to help themselves. Note that the signed contract even stipulates that once they are out of this unjust situation they will do their best to help liberate others. I hope you can help both me and him reach that stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;br /&gt;Paul Edwards.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-3315676536324435194?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3315676536324435194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3315676536324435194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/uk-please-liberate-syria.html' title='UK Please Liberate Syria'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3911240587398752568</id><published>2011-12-07T10:38:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-07T10:42:10.770+11:00</updated><title type='text'>succinct pro-war argument</title><content type='html'>This is a very old post from the old "thinktam" site, quoting something from one of the Iraqi blogs. I reproduce it here because I find that while I can express things logically, things sound heaps better if someone else's words are used to express the exact same idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point of complaint raised against Bush and answered by someone else (Caroline). The answer is so sublime I can't imagine how anyone can possibly not be a Bush fan after reading the answer.  Can you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is diminishing the military of which he is so proud now as commander in chief. The invasion and occupation of Iraq (news - web sites) have obviously not worked out the way he imagined -- naked torture was not the goal. But the far greater problem for the future is that our proud commander has revealed the hollowness behind the unilateral superpower. From the top down, we have not been able to win Iraq, much less the world. And going into Iraq has compromised or crippled the war on terror he declared himself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dems are diminishing the military through propoganda like Michael Moore's that portrays pre-invasion Iraq as some peaceful idyll and our military as dupes of some crazed imperial power, fighting an immoral war. This is the only respect in which Iraq resembles Vietnam - the left has made it so. There were at least half a dozen excellent reasons to go into Iraq - the supposed WMD's (which all educated parties assumed) combined with the fact that Saddam did not yet have an effective nuclear capacity, the fact that we were technically still at war with Saddam due to his failure to comply with his ceasefire agreement after Gulf1, the fact that he ignored 17 UN resolutions re WMD inspections and was making a mockery of the UN and thereby setting a precedent for other rogue regimes (exhibit 2 - Sudan) , the devastating effects of the sanctions which were penalizing the Iraqi citizens but could not be lifted due to Saddam's ambitions, assorted evidence that Saddam was friendly to Anti-US causes such as al-Quaeda, the neo-con idea that since Iraq was a largely secular society of highly educated and competent people it could be a germ for spreading democracy in the middle East, thereby making the rest of the world eventually safer by getting at the roots of terrorism, and last but not least - in fact at the top of the list for any humanist - and I had thought that American democrats were humanists - the fact that Saddam was one of the most brutal murderous dictators in human history - holding a country of 25 million people hostage to terror. It is entirely sound foreign policy - from both a practical and moral standpoint - to use military force precisely when so many relevant factors converge. Instead of appreciating this the Dems are quite willing to throw in the towel because we face a more vicious enemy than we imagined - an enemy willing to shield themselves behind civilians, willing to blow up infrastructure, willing to use mosques and schools as ammo dumps, willing to indiscriminately blow up hundreds upon hundreds of innocent civilians just to derail what they call an "occupation" but which as any idiot can see is a temporary attempt to maintain some semblance of order in the lead up to free elections so we can get the hell out of there. Might we lose? Hell yeah - and it will be in no small measure due to the help of the Democrats in America who have driven me - a lifelong Democrat into the Bush camp. I hope to God Bush wins reelection in November and defeats my stupid immoral fellow Americans who are willing to sacrifice ordinary Iraqis for their political ambitions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-3911240587398752568?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3911240587398752568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3911240587398752568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/succinct-pro-war-argument.html' title='succinct pro-war argument'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8587364303974595797</id><published>2011-12-04T11:49:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2011-12-04T13:41:15.350+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Spilling the Beans</title><content type='html'>We've now &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuVVml5Dp2s"&gt;got&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXS3vW47mOE"&gt;access&lt;/a&gt; to the neocon thinking from inside the US government courtesy of General Wesley Clark. It looks like it has been available for some time, but I've only recently found it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I expected, their thinking is largely in line with mine - and completely logical - and has nothing at all to do with oil. Clark calls it "cockamamie", due to his completely different worldview, but it is intensely sensible from my worldview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically it starts with the Cold War. During the Cold War there were tinpot dictators causing us grief by aligning with the despotic Soviet Union. Those dictators should all have been brought to justice at the end of the Cold War. Unfortunately, the Cold War didn't have a swift end, and to this day the Russians are still pointing their nuclear weapons at the free world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negotiating some sort of soft ending to the Cold War has been a tortuous process, and still continues today. It was only in 2004 that the Baltics were secured in NATO. In 1991, we were not in a position to bring justice to the Middle Eastern dictators, but that's what the neocons (including me) wanted to do. This is an instinctive reaction when fighting a war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So they wanted to "clean up the Middle East", but were constrained by the fact that the Soviet Union was peacefully collapsing and while progress was being made, they didn't want to interfere with a good thing by spooking the Russians. Then at the end of 1992 they lost control of the US government and didn't get it back until the beginning of 2001. My guess is that if it hadn't been for 9/11, they would have continued to sit on their hands on this, as Europe was not yet fully secured (notably the Balkans weren't in NATO).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/11 provided an opportunity. An excuse for taking wide-ranging action now. Hopefully that action wouldn't interfere with securing the Balkans, but even if it did, that was a risk worth taking given the opportunity offered by 9/11 which shouldn't be squandered. There was a chance to turn Afghanistan away from a horrible regime that beat women, and there was an opportunity to finish off Saddam - someone who wouldn't even listen to US bombs. And depending on the success of Iraq, there were many more opportunities available - they named Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Iran. And the idea was to convert these countries to allies of the free world before some other superpower (like China) came along and converted these countries to be their own allies. Once again - an opportunity not to be squandered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, as we now know, it's not a simple matter to get these strange people to change sides. In fact it wasn't even simple just to let them choose their own path via democracy. Some people (ie Sunni rejectionists) opposed the establishment of democracy, preferring instead to have some Sunni ruler installed by force. So that was a real spanner in the works of dealing with the remnants of the Cold War. However, that spanner is the same spanner that caused 9/11, so it needs to be dealt with regardless, and Iraq was the ideal place for a mixture of Arab Sunnis, Arab Shiites and Kurdish Sunnis to forge a peaceful liberal democracy together (which would in turn would hopefully not be hostile towards the US). An experiment in nation-building. An experiment that didn't work out as well as hoped, but it's a hell of a lot better than the worst-case scenario (complete rejection of democracy, less than 5% turnout at elections, 95% supporting insurgency against the US invaders and anyone who tries to sign up to new security forces, Sistani declaring jihad, Islamic radicals getting elected).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clark made another point - that the neocons didn't know how to deal with terrorism, but did have a US military that was capable of toppling governments, and that if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. There is a lot of truth in that. Us neocons instinctively see that tinpot anti-American dictators cannot be a good thing in the world, and we want to topple them using our available militaries. There is no direct equation that says that toppling those dictators will reduce terrorism. But it is hoped that by doing something that makes the world a better place (end of cruel dictators), that it will by some means (not yet fully understood) have a knock-on effect of reducing the causes of terrorism. So we want to see what the world looks like with the dictators gone, so that we can reevaluate. Maybe that reevaluation will lead to a realization that the British had it right with their empire after all - and these nations should never have been allowed to become independent actors as they are inherently anti-western. Whatever. First knock over the dictators. Then reevaluate. The reevaluation may actually come to the conclusion that genocide is required. Whatever. First knock over the dictators. Then reevaluate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to understand the neocon paradigm if you don't want to get trapped in your silly rut of "they did it for the oil", with no evidence of a single drop of oil being stolen, with all the US troops gone in less than a month, and no evidence of any war supporters at all (not even 1%) saying "I did it for the oil" any more than they said "I did it for the sunflower seeds".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last point - Clark says that we don't need this to become World War 3. This is him speaking from his different paradigm, where the absence of war is considered to be the goal. Rather than forging a free world to be considered the goal. World War 3 is a good thing - it shows that we're actively working the problem instead of being apathetic about state-slavery.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8587364303974595797?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8587364303974595797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8587364303974595797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/12/spilling-beans.html' title='Spilling the Beans'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-6117447756787311028</id><published>2011-11-27T13:43:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T14:40:35.817+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Syrian Contract</title><content type='html'>Open Letter to Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Julia,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am writing to you as an Australian citizen and taxpayer. As you know, the Syrian people have been living under Assad's oppression for decades. The reality of automatic weapons is that they are not able to overthrow their government without some sort of military coup. The Libyans were similarly unable to, even though they managed to free Benghazi. The reality of modern warfare is that the guy with the best weapons will win, and in Syria at the moment, that is Assad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an Australian, I do not think it is fair that I should have lived in a democracy my whole life, while others have been under a dictatorship their whole life. I would like others to have the same freedoms and human rights that I get here. I am thus writing to you to request that the Australian military be deployed to Syria to wage a war of liberation. I also request that you take the lead in assembling a coalition by asking other governments to participate in the war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realise that war is an inherently dangerous business, and the people holding signs saying "HELP" presumably realise that too. Through the miracle of the internet I have been able to directly negotiate with some of those Syrians on a mutually acceptable &lt;a href="http://www.mutazilah.org/liberation_contract.htm"&gt;contract&lt;/a&gt; governing the terms of the liberation. An ideological ally of mine has signed off on the Syrian side, where they take responsibility for the inherent dangers of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not everyone in Syria is an ideological ally of mine. First, not everyone is against Assad. Secondly, not everyone wants foreign intervention. Thirdly, not everyone is willing to take responsibility via this contract for any side-effects of foreign intervention (although they may be willing to sign some variation of it). But those people are not my ideological allies. I am after the war to help my ideological allies, not my opponents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As per the section of the contract that I signed myself, I expect the Australian government and military to wage the war a certain way. Please assist me in living up to my end of that agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can understand if you are hesitant to go to war because you're unsure what percentage of the population supports it. The difficulty of getting such a poll is one of the reasons why I think we should just assume worst case - that lots of our ideological allies are being oppressed - and go ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also understand if you are hestitant to go to war because of Russian opposition. The Russians may react badly to one of their client states being liberated. An example of something they could do is stop the supply route to Afghanistan. This would be particularly disturbing due to the &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15905777"&gt;fragility&lt;/a&gt; of the Pakistan supply route. If both supply routes are blocked, I would suggest that it is time to liberate Iran also. Or possibly even abandon Afghanistan, as the Afghan government forces are already way superior to the opposition Taliban, so by rights they should win eventually, even if it does take a more tortuous route to victory. At the end of the day I am reluctant to keep my Syrian allies in chains due to Russian blackmail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a specific "liberation plan" I assume our military will be able to come up with something suitable. However, in order to minimize the coalition footprint in Syria, I'd suggest establishing (mainly from the air) a buffer zone inside Syria and allow elements of the Free Syrian Army to cross from Turkey back into that buffer zone, where they can be airdropped weapons. So long as there is a method whereby Syrian soldiers (or ex-soldiers) can sign up, and fight under air cover, they should be able to do the job themselves. If things don't work out that well, the contract allows the use of ground forces as well. Ground forces may cause some noses to be bent out of shape, but it's unlikely that the average Syrian is going to actively oppose them. Just get in there, topple Assad, reuse the old military, then leave, and we'll leave the quibbling for global citizenry to hash out amongst themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankyou for considering this request.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;br /&gt;Paul Edwards.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6117447756787311028?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6117447756787311028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6117447756787311028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/11/syrian-contract.html' title='Syrian Contract'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4526870524213088477</id><published>2011-10-28T21:36:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T21:51:29.772+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Tunisia Rethink</title><content type='html'>Well the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunisian_Constituent_Assembly_election,_2011"&gt;results&lt;/a&gt; are in, and the Islamists have got a whopping 40% of the vote. I proceeded to go down the list of runners-up to see which party was actually decent and that I would support. Most of them were actually leftists, and there were none I really wanted to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas the Islamist party supports the free market, and doesn't support any typical radical Islamic policies like banning bikinis. They seem to be moderate Muslims, and would seem to be a Muslim version of the US Republican party (ie the religious people vote for them). And according to &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15453466"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; "Ask people here why they vote for the Islamists and they don't talk about religion".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So all-in-all, it seems like we have a fantastic success story. The Arab Muslims have managed to produce a decent democracy. One way or another, this result can be reproduced across the rest of the region (think - Saudi Arabia). The Muslims are not fundamentally ideological challengers to the West. That's the real danger to long-term prospects for world freedom and world peace - whether we have any ideological challengers to liberal democracy. With Taiwan covering the Chinese angle, Tunisia covering the Arab Muslim angle, and some semi-functioning African democracies, it looks like we have the Ultimate Ideology at hand - liberal democracy. It may not be Utopia, but it's a damn site better than whatever comes second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the prospects for the future look good, although there are still wars to be fought to get there. Winnable wars, because we're armed with an ideology that requires no resources to maintain. Democracies are self-maintaining.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4526870524213088477?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4526870524213088477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4526870524213088477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/10/tunisia-rethink.html' title='Tunisia Rethink'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1636640764301219634</id><published>2011-10-24T20:44:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-10-24T21:00:39.851+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Liberated Libya</title><content type='html'>Well it is wonderful &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15422262"&gt;news&lt;/a&gt; that Libya is now liberated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a chance that this freedom is only temporary though, like so many other changes of power in the Middle East. But I think the circumstances are different now, and we will see a smooth transition to democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless, freedom is so precious that we shouldn't take any chances. The existing militias should pledge loyalty to democracy and receive professional training. The more people who get trained the better, as democracy is after all, all about majority rule - so at some level the majority is expected to be able to defeat the minority in battle. So if the elections don't go the way some of the militias would have preferred, the majority needs to force the issue with guns. It would be beneficial to have NATO standing by ready to support the majority to make the task easier, but that's an unlikely luxury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again Libya is making disturbing noises about being an Islamic state, but I have heard figures that 90% of Libyans are moderate Muslims, 5% are radical Islamists and 5% are radical leftists. So let's hope the majority get their vote.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-1636640764301219634?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1636640764301219634'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1636640764301219634'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/10/liberated-libya.html' title='Liberated Libya'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-5737266011805661067</id><published>2011-10-23T08:14:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-10-23T22:33:31.558+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Tunisian Knife Edge</title><content type='html'>In a case of very strange bedfellows, both Al Qaeda and myself supported the Arab Spring. The Al Qaeda types have some strange line that Israel or the Americans were propping up the Arab dictators in order to protect Israel and now the people are free so they can get an Islamic state and an end to the horrible zionist regimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas I am expecting the Tunisians and Libyans to vote for a moderate government much like Iraq has. Probably even better than Iraq. I think it's more likely that they will join NATO than be part of some sort of Islamic Caliphate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So again we have a clash of paradigms. Both Al Qaeda and myself are using our respective paradigms to predict the future. If and when Al Qaeda's prediction fails to eventuate, they'll likely add some more conspiracy into the mix, and say that the zionists managed to rig the Tunisian elections after all. If my prediction fails to eventuate, I'll simply say that I gave the Tunisian people too much credit, and pencil them in below Iraq instead of above Iraq. And after all - one of the reasons Iraq was the ideal choice to start with was the fact that they were supposedly the least radical of the lot. Part of the data-gathering phase in world liberation is to be able to accurately categorize these countries so that we know where and when to apply force (or whatever) so that we can direct events to where we would like them to go. Actually this is something I do as an individual too. Mainly I did it with computer software, but I also did it with the ideological war too - inserting my logic skills to win the political debate. And similar to how the US funded capitalist insurgents during the Cold War, I funded things like the Iraqi bloggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my current understanding is that the opinion polls only show the Islamists getting 20% of the vote, so assuming that opinion polls in Tunisia are an accurate reflection of the secret ballot, there shouldn't be a problem. And even if they get more than 20%, my understanding is that they are moderate anyway. So at this stage things look like they are going my way and I am happy. But let's see what the world has in store. Who needs to watch movies when you can watch the world?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Another thing that Al Qaeda will do is ignore the Iraqi data point because they honestly believe that the 300+ political parties are all a CIA sham. Whereas I consider it to be an excellent data point because I don't buy into all the conspiracy theories.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5737266011805661067?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5737266011805661067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5737266011805661067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/10/tunisian-knife-edge.html' title='Tunisian Knife Edge'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-5701480896340013218</id><published>2011-10-22T12:29:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-10-22T12:58:30.654+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Iraqi Data Point</title><content type='html'>Well &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-15410154"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; is fantastic news. The US will be keeping its signed commitment to withdraw ALL forces by the end of the year. This will be hugely beneficial in political debates. Morons like Foddy who said that the US would be staying in Iraq for the next 50 years to control oil have their worldview collapsed. Or it would be collapsed if they weren't such morons that they replace one pathetic worldview with another equally pathetic one to cover up their gross failure to be able to accurately predict events according to their old one. That's actually an important point - we are genetically attuned to gaining pleasure from predicting the future - a great survival characteristic. Just like &lt;a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_19426_5-things-you-do-every-day-that-are-actually-addictions.html"&gt;listening to music&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the War on Terror is an ideological war, so we need to get back to winning that, and for that, we need the US troops out of Iraq. So that's really fantastic news. Of course, there is a danger that Iraq will have a military coup, and that the US will stand idly by (in Kuwait) instead of intervening, but that's OK. Because that gives us another valuable data point in understanding the world. It would be nice to know if Arab Muslim new democracies naturally fall back to military dictatorships. The only way we can find this out is by getting the troops out and seeing what happens. I don't know what happens. My guess is that that won't happen, because the institutions are in place to prevent that. But the world has seen plenty of military coups, so I could well be wrong. Either way, it is important to know what to expect. We know what we expect to see from an Arab Muslim democracy. Iraq gave us that data point already, thanks to the wonderful 70% turnout to a secret ballot. And yes, it was worth $1 trillion and 100,000+ lives to get that data. That data allows us to install Arab Muslim democracies at will. We know it is technically possible. Even if it turns out that you DO need to keep 5,000 troops in the country for 100 years to put down military coups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see multiple sweeps of the world taking place. First of all we sweep the world installing democracies everywhere. Then we sweep the world converting the non-liberal-democracies into liberal democracies assuming that is technically possible. Well before all that happens we need a sweep of the world to "gather data". So Iraq was involved in that sweep, and we've got most of the data we can get already. There's still more data to be obtained from Iraq, e.g. "do Arab Muslim democracies coalesce into a 2-party system split along economic lines?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I look forward to the political debates I will be able to have on Jan 1, 2012. Not sure how many days I will be able to debate for before a military coup harms my argument, but I will savour the window of opportunity. And hopefully Tunisia and Libya provide fallbacks for any military coup anyway. It's a combination of all these things that provides a strategy for world liberation. That's what the ultimate goal is - create the best possible blueprint for world liberation and then execute it in a blitzkrieg.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5701480896340013218?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5701480896340013218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5701480896340013218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/10/iraqi-data-point.html' title='Iraqi Data Point'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-493549732895572285</id><published>2011-10-03T23:34:00.005+11:00</published><updated>2011-10-04T00:14:16.644+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Sorry Syrian Allies</title><content type='html'>In the Anonymous chat room I came across a Syrian (Sunni Arab in Damascus) and asked him for a percentage breakdown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He reckoned 1-10% of Syrians supported an internationally-supported liberation, 10-20% supported the current regime, and 75-90% supported self-liberation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My true ideological allies are the ones who have the same ideology as me. And if I was living under a dictatorship I would want the whole world to come to my aid (and thus I try to return the favour when I'm not under a dictatorship).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, figures like that are not healthy for a liberation. Iraq was bad enough - only 50% supported that. In Afghanistan we had healthier figures (85%), and Libya was probably the same (looking forward to seeing opinion polls from there).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given that only democracy is on the cards (not cultural change to replace the nationalism with ideological affinity), I'd have to say that my allies are outvoted and will just have to live with whatever happens. If the self-liberation doesn't occur (my money is on the regime's automatic weapons), we'll have to come back another day (after Burma, or whoever has a majority in favour, have been liberated).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One point my Syrian contact made is that Syria would be indebted to Australia if Australia liberated Syria, and he wants to avoid such a debt. That is understandable so I think we need to make it clear that liberations are obligation-free. First it's not just one country that does the liberation, so it's not clear who the debt would be to. A transnational entity like NATO is even more obscure. First not all NATO members (ie Germany) even agreed that the action was appropriate. Secondly, Libya can potentially join NATO itself. Regardless, I think any outstanding moral debt should be of the form "it would be nice, but not necessary, if post-liberation your country helped - or even better - led - the next liberation". And come to think of it, the Americans are the ones who normally do the liberations these days, and I didn't notice them feeling indebted to the French for liberating them. So it's probably fair to say that no debt is expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another point is that we should have a "war chest". All foreign aid should be stopped and we focus on making sure we have enough money available to pay for the once-off cost of liberation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thing - the percentages provided may not be totally accurate - they're only estimates and the Syrian dictator is responsible for the fact that accurate numbers can't be obtained. However, the numbers are believable and consistent with other reports/dialogue/understanding I have of Syrians. It is going to be very tough finding the country most deserving of liberation, which is why I would suggest concentrating on countries that are enemies of the free world (like Iran with its nukes), so that we at least get ourselves into a stronger position for future liberations if nothing else. It's just that I had hoped to take advantage of the fact that Syria already had a revolution in progress - and leverage off that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-493549732895572285?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/493549732895572285'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/493549732895572285'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/10/sorry-syrian-allies.html' title='Sorry Syrian Allies'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-6500811693753931575</id><published>2011-09-29T23:15:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T23:55:14.651+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Bahrain and Yemen</title><content type='html'>It really pains me to do this. To turn on an ally at time of war. But it must be done. The War on Terror is about the very definition of "good" and "bad". The Bahraini dictatorship has gone &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15105270"&gt;too far&lt;/a&gt; - adding insult to injury by putting pro-democracy activists on show trials. This is contrary to what the War on Terror is about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Military bases in friendly dictatorships like Bahrain are a means to an end, not the actual end. The actual end is worldwide liberal democracy. There is no evidence that the people of Bahrain are nasty like the Saudis, where democracy would mean the empowering of an enemy. Bahrainis are more likely to be neutral, and probably won't accept US bases on their soil, but aren't actually wanting to harm the free world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we were facing an existential threat, I'd sell out the Bahraini people. But we're not. Losing the Bahraini base will only be an annoyance. The free world is ridiculously strong at the moment, and the actual problem is lack of political will to go to Iran, not the lack of a suitable base to do it from. As they say - use it or lose it. Time to lose it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd rather reinvade Iraq to get access to Iran than sell out the Bahraini freedom fighters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we were initiating the liberations ourselves, then of course the obvious sequence is to start with enemy countries first. But you have to deal with the world as it is, not how you would like it to be. And the fact is that some allied dictators have populations that have started revolutions, and we will be on the wrong side of the War on Terror if we fail to support their aspirations for freedom. Show trials are a slap in the face of the free world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure we should vacate the bases and then turn around and start launching an attack in favour of the freedom fighters, but at least we should vacate the bases. I know it hurts having spent so much effort building them in the first place, but just consider this to be one of the losses in the War on Terror. Not everything goes your way in a war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that free Libya is something that has greatly strengthened the free world. We may actually have a candidate for NATO membership there. It should be a successful liberal democracy. And because of this, Iraq is not so important anymore. Iraq will be a less successful democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yemen has more scope for militarily supporting the revolutionaries, as I don't think there's an actual base there. It's very bad form to invade a country you're already a guest of (as is the case in Bahrain). So the first thing to do is to cease being a guest. China was similarly condemned after the Tiananmen Square massacre. Time to do the same with Bahrain and Yemen. As painful as it is to see these nation-states cease to be allied, it needs to be done. The goal of worldwide liberal democracy means that dictators need to be abandoned eventually. The time has come prematurely for a couple of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that I am constantly reevaluating the world. A couple of months ago I would not have been so bold to say "give up the Bahraini base", because it was still unclear what was going to happen in Libya. But with Libya entering the free world we have a stronger base in the global ideological war.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6500811693753931575?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6500811693753931575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6500811693753931575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/09/bahrain-and-yemen.html' title='Bahrain and Yemen'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1835652812221656452</id><published>2011-09-05T22:33:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T22:48:47.297+10:00</updated><title type='text'>The Syrian Connection</title><content type='html'>Open letter to Dmitry Medvedev and Hu Jintao, presidents of Russia and China&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear sirs,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you both for abstaining and allowing UNSC 1973 to pass.

And this time, instead of NATO doing the military action, can you use your own forces to do so? The trouble with NATO is that it keeps on getting accused of imperialism. There is less likelihood of your countries being accused of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that in Syria I think you will need to have some limited boots on the ground to secure a city that could be used as a rallying point for Syrian freedom fighters.

The article basically says that Afghanistan shouldn't be used as a model. But I'm a big fan of the Afghan model and believe it should be the basis of future warfare. Here's what I had to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I disagree with this article. Depending on what your military objective is, the Afghan model has worked brilliantly. A couple of points are made clear:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Modern wars are won in the air, no matter how much soldiers hate to hear that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Modern wars are wars of liberation, not conquest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been an additional fact in Afghanistan and Iraq (but not Libya) - the US has desired (for good reasons) to do nation-building. But nation-building was always optional. If you just want to get rid of an enemy government, it is sufficient to provide arms to some locals and then usher them to victory from the air. As was done in Libya. It was always possible to do a Libya, just no-one had ever tried it until now. Afghanistan was even easier than Libya - they already had a military in place that was able to hold out against the Taliban (although they were in the process of losing). In Iraq, no-one actually attempted to do it Libyan-style. There was no shortage of brave Shia willing to form long queues to join the new Iraqi security forces. They were always there. The US would have had to artificially create a liberated city, because unlike Libya and Afghanistan there weren't pre-existing liberated areas. But assuming Basrah was liberated by coalition paratroopers, a local Iraqi army could have been created which would have been able to knock over Saddam's military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that I'm only talking about knocking over the enemy military (regime change), not nation-building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Assuming you're willing to agree that regime change is possible using locals (Libya being the best example of that), the next step is nation-building. Libya is also about to demonstrate that it is possible to build a nation without foreign troops. Was it a mistake to do nation-building in Afghanistan and Iraq? No. These were two important countries. We needed to see if they could be built along western lines, as at the time these countries were great unknowns, and it was time to try a "western experiment" on them. These places have tried every experiment known to man EXCEPT secular capitalist liberal democracy and it was important to create institutions along western lines and then protect those institutions to ensure that they "worked", and then see if the whole thing became self-managing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"1.  There were too few ground troops in Iraq to control the country after the destruction of  Saddams security apparatus."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is - it was not the goal to control the country. The goal was to ensure that the country was uncontrolled to see what the Iraqi people would innately choose if there was no-one controlling them (ie neither Saddam nor the US). They were allowed to experiment with "Sunni fundamentalism" in Fallujah, and all reports were that that sucked really badly. They were allowed to experiment with "Shia fundamentalism" in Najaf and it turned out that Sistani didn't like having his favourite mosque trashed and issued a call to the Shia to just join the new security forces instead of following an idiot like Al Sadr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"2. There were and there are still too few ground troops in Afghanistan."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the Taliban insurgency will take longer to put down with fewer ground troops. However, the Afghan government with it's 164,000 ANA troops is undefeatable. With air support added, even 10,000 Northern Alliance troops were enough to beat the Taliban (which had heavy weaponry at the time). 164k is a walk in the park. No foreigners required. If you want proof of that, just try it. Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with the US making it easier for the ANA to win, but they will win regardless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"3. Libya could have greatly used real Nato ground troops, probably the War would have ended a day after Nato armor raced into Tripolis.  Since there were obviously almost no defenders there, they could have landed directly in the harbour, which the Rebels could not."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely. We could have had the war over in a week instead of 6 months. However, then we would have lost the real life data point of just how much can be achieved just by providing air power to a local population. And given that they weren't keen on seeing NATO ground troops anyway, that was the appropriate path to follow. Wars are won in the air, and for whatever reason they don't consider foreign air support to be humiliating, despite the fact that that in reality means that it was NATO who won the war. The ground forces are just photogenic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How on earth can anyone derive from this facts that we need LESS ground troops is beyond me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's even more pronounced than that. In the case of a country like Syria with conscription, you have an entire population that has military training. What you can do is directly fly in tanks and jump-start a one-sided civil war. You need enough troops to take over a Syrian airport and that's about it. I can understand why you would doubt this would work - because you've never seen it tried. That's why I would advocate doing Syria in this manner (taking over an airport) to give a deeper understanding of military options if nothing else. Best to get all the data points you require BEFORE we start massively reducing the number of ground troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-7394584124069963441?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7394584124069963441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7394584124069963441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/09/syrian-data-point.html' title='Syrian Data Point'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1138365643250756587</id><published>2011-08-31T17:02:00.004+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-31T19:32:52.670+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Sectarian Violence</title><content type='html'>With Syria now in the cross-hairs and the very real prospect of sectarian violence like was seen in Iraq, let me explain why I'm willing to go into Syria regardless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For starters, I would like to be friends with every single Syrian. But I especially want to be friends with the guy who controls the military and education system - as he will be the one who determines whether I am deemed good or bad (and thus whether friendship is possible) in the eyes of the next generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Syrian dictator is not a friend - he is an enemy. He is teaching children that he is good, and his rubbing shoulders with an anti-western power like Russia is good. Against the evil America and other westerners. This is not an acceptable message. Dictators are generally illegitimate already (ie unless there is a rational or humanist reason that a temporary dictatorship is required). When a dictator chooses to be an enemy, he suddenly becomes a target. Anyone who supports him is also a target.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The person I support is my ideological ally - the guy with the "HELP" sign. He's probably a Sunni. He's being oppressed by the Allawite dictatorship. Now the Allawite minority have legitimate concerns about being on the wrong end of sectarian violence, and I'm willing to negotiate. But they've had decades to negotiate and instead all they did was teach children to hate me. Unacceptable. They need to very rapidly change their tune now if they want to negotiate at this late stage, as the revolutionaries have forced the issue by putting their lives on the line, goading me to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the general principle is that I will take arms off the Allawite dictator and give them to my Sunni ally. This does not mean democracy. It means my instinct is to set up a friendly dictator who will start teaching children my definition of good and bad (communists are not good, for example). However, although that is my instinct, we need to be realistic. Democracy is a far easier sell than a dictator. And far less trouble to install, as it is self-maintaining. We can literally provide air support only to get a democracy installed. Given that we already have an unfriendly dictator, even if we end up with an unfriendly democracy, we're still no worse off. And we're in with a chance of a friendly democracy - if not now, then it may evolve with expected freedom of speech. Probability and statistics says to go ahead with the war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the Allawites want to negotiate, here's what they need to do. First of all replace their definition of good and bad, and acknowledge that their dictatorship has been bad up to this point. Provide evidence that the Sunnis are religious bigots (generally true) and that they wish to temporarily protect against this until the required cultural changes are in place. In short, they need to adopt the same ideological position as the "HELP" guy, assuming the "HELP" guy is a non-bigotted Sunni. If they do that, then they will also be willing to promote the "HELP" guy to a position of power, e.g. president. This will hopefully mollify the other Sunni who are religious bigots. If it doesn't, that's fine, the Allawites can continue to hold the automatic weapons so long as their ideology has changed so that they are now my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's put this into a general principle with a worked example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Group A (NATO - humanists)&lt;br /&gt;Group B (majority Allawites - non-humanists)&lt;br /&gt;Group C (majority Sunni - non-humanists)&lt;br /&gt;Group D (minority Allawites - humanists)&lt;br /&gt;Group E (minority Sunni - humanists)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a group, B, is oppressing another group, E, then group A (which is ideologically allied to group E) has a right, or possibly even an obligation, to exterminate B. Group A may choose to create a temporary alliance with some other ideology C, who are also being oppressed, in order to get the extermination done. Group A may also create a permanent alliance with a similar ideology, D, even though D is not being oppressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The general form should apply to wars in general, e.g. WW2:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Group A (US/UK/etc - rationalists)&lt;br /&gt;Group B (Nazis)&lt;br /&gt;Group C (Communists)&lt;br /&gt;Group D (Swedes etc - rationalists)&lt;br /&gt;Group E (Poles etc - rationalists)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing to note is that a country like Saudi Arabia is only a temporary ally like the communists were in WW2. It is not a true friend, which is why its education system is turning out anti-western people. When we've gotten rid of our in-your-face enemies we should be looking to topple countries with a hostile education system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-1138365643250756587?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1138365643250756587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1138365643250756587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/08/sectarian-violence.html' title='Sectarian Violence'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-7033105219566840881</id><published>2011-08-31T07:40:00.004+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-31T12:23:31.404+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Italy liberate Syria</title><content type='html'>Open letter to Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you are aware, the Syrian people have been demonstrating to express their desire for freedom. It should always have been obvious that these people were there desiring freedom, and that their opinion was being suppressed by their dictator. But now the people have taken the extraordinary step of demonstrating in the streets of the dictatorship, at great personal risk to themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I saw the protesters carrying some signs in English. One said "SOS" and the other said "HELP". Help, as in, "foreign aid". I am asking the Italian military to provide that foreign aid. It is a once-off cost, unlike the foreign aid you probably give every year to be squandered in Africa. Can you imagine what was going through the mind of the people writing that sign "HELP"? I can imagine their frustration that they can do nothing about their situation and that they were forced to beg for help. They know they need international help so they wrote in English. They were probably thinking "will anyone even see this?". But they would have reasoned that they should at least try. Even worse they would have reasoned "will anyone care about us?". For some reason images of starving Africans are enough to pull heartstrings of foreigners, but Arabs being held in state-slavery are not photogenic. But they would have again reasoned that they can at least try their best. That's all anyone can do, really. If everyone tried their best, we'd have a very different world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Mr Berlusconi, I now wish to do my best. I know there are western militaries that are capable of doing this job. I know that you are one of them, and I know that you haven't taken the political or military lead for any recent liberation. As a citizen of a democracy with freedom of speech, basically the best that I can do is to use that freedom of speech to lobby the people in power to do the right thing. So that is why I am writing this letter to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize that the job will entail a lot of thanklessness. The left-wing media will be levelling charges of "imperialism" and "murder". That's why when you take action it will be a brave act on your part. But that is hopefully what you are - a brave man. Sometimes a man is called upon to show his bravery by physically fighting to protect his family or country. Sometimes a man is called upon to show his bravery by sending a simple order to his military - "do whatever is required to liberate Syria". It is actually this absence of political bravery that is causing the world to be in a much worse state than it needs to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a specific strategy I would suggest you repeat what has been done in Libya. The regime has been overwhelmed in certain cities to the point where it feels the need to use tanks. Those tanks can be destroyed from the air. Syria has a conscript army, and most Syrian males should have military experience. So a rebel army can be constructed from that. They will need to have heavy weaponry supplied to them. The war won't be as quick and clean as if professional Italian soldiers were to go in on the ground, but you need to deal with cultural realities. A large percentage of Arabs find foreign ground troops to be humiliating. It's easier for them to stomach the increased loss of life. In the long run, it is probably better to do it their way - although it should be noted that we are necessarily working with imperfect information. But the moment really needs to be seized. It is right now that people are out on the streets, so it is right now that they should be provided the necessary air support. The Gaddafi spokesman (Moussa Ibrahim) correctly pointed out that the Libyan rebels wouldn't have been able to advance 1 metre if it wasn't for NATO air cover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing. You will not be able to get UN approval for this action. The fact that the UN approved the Libyan action was nothing short of miraculous. For cultural reasons the Russians and Chinese will not agree to the use of force. So I ask you to give your loyalty to the man holding the "HELP" sign, rather than being loyal to a couple of countries who see nothing wrong with state-slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one more point. There may well be sectarian violence in the transition to majority rule. This is something innate in Syria and you are not responsible for that once-off cost. The cost needs to be paid at some point in time - you can't justify keeping people living in slavery indefinitely because there's a cost of war waiting to be paid. It's more important to ensure that the man with the "HELP" sign isn't rounded up and locked in jail for the rest of his life. The sooner the cost is paid, the sooner the horror of people living in state-slavery will be brought to an end. This is the target of opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck, sir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jAGB9D3VaK0/Tl2bC7oE7PI/AAAAAAAAACY/N2a-XdvU8Xw/s1600/syria_help.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 232px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jAGB9D3VaK0/Tl2bC7oE7PI/AAAAAAAAACY/N2a-XdvU8Xw/s400/syria_help.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646839982460300530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-7033105219566840881?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7033105219566840881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7033105219566840881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/08/italy-liberate-syria.html' title='Italy liberate Syria'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jAGB9D3VaK0/Tl2bC7oE7PI/AAAAAAAAACY/N2a-XdvU8Xw/s72-c/syria_help.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-9043402918869032476</id><published>2011-08-30T05:19:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T06:01:30.512+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Syria Next</title><content type='html'>A long time ago I came up with a comprehensive war plan showing which country to liberate next, starting with Iran. But as the saying goes - "no war plan survives first contact with the enemy". In this case we have a new situation - we have people on Syrian streets (compared to Iran where there aren't). We also have the Libyan model as a reference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all the prospects for Syria are not good. It's a disaster story waiting to happen as the sectarian violence starts when religiously-bigotted Sunnis come to power. What I'd rather see is a model like the UK had where the Allawites are basically the House of Lords and can block the majority Sunnis from doing anything really bad. However, I don't see that happening practically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Syria is an enemy of the free world and is collectively punished for being such. I don't think that is fair on the Syrian people. If they're going to be held to account for the actions of their government, then that government should at least be democratically-elected. So, the Syrians should be able to democratically choose to be enemies, then punished for it. Note that Syria is already an enemy, so it doesn't matter that we convert a dictator enemy into a democratic enemy. For other countries where we have an allied government and enemy people, it does not make sense to convert them into an enemy government. At least not while there are enemy dictators still awaiting conversion to democracies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the day, the Syrian people have been brave and stood up for an end to their subjugation. The dictatorship is using the military to quell the uprising, and without NATO air cover, my money is on the military being ultimately successful. I think the Syrian people deserve to be rewarded for their bravery. And also I think that breaking open freedom of speech stands the best chance of culturally changing the Syrian people so that they stop being enemies of the free world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're not going to get another miracle of a UN resolution supporting NATO action. I don't think even NATO will be able to take action. It will instead need to be an adhoc coalition. My plan is to write to the Italians and Libyans to take the lead. The Libyans because they of all people should know that it's impossible to win without foreign air cover. The Italians because they didn't seem to be very active in Libya probably because of their colonial past (but France was free in Libya, unlike Tunisia), but Italy doesn't have that problem in Syria (but France does).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing to note was that I wasn't really keen to go into Syria while we were still gathering data from Libya. In order to determine the best strategy it is best to have lots of data available. If we had 30 examples of liberation we'd be in a better position to decide how the 31st should be done and what it will look like. Unfortunately we have so few examples that it has been very hard to predict what will happen. E.g. I originally thought that Libya could be won quickly with air support and the defections that had already happened. This was based on the easy victory that the Northern Alliance had. But for whatever reason this was a 6-month slugfest and it looked like it could have taken a lot longer than that too, as it appeared to be stalemated. But once again the war plan didn't survive first contact with the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Damascus or bust!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-9043402918869032476?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/9043402918869032476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/9043402918869032476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/08/syria-next.html' title='Syria Next'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-5509456426767287060</id><published>2011-08-28T20:11:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-28T21:40:38.250+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Libyan Freedom</title><content type='html'>I've been glued to Al Jazeera for the last week after the rebels pulled off a truly amazing entry into Tripoli. It certainly took longer than it would have if NATO troops had been used, but it's much better to have the locals doing it themselves. I think with this militarily historic event we hopefully have a new model of warfare. Provide weapons and air support to local militias. We can hopefully free the whole world this way. With Syria next in line. I saw Syrian protesters with a sign in English, but couldn't read the whole thing. The two phrases I was able to read were "Syria is not" and "to watch and enjoy" with perhaps "only" after the second phrase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the message is that they don't like the idea of us sitting in our comfortable living rooms while they are attempting to go up against a cruel dictator. But I have to ask the protesters what they expect us to do. My solution would be to repeat Libya, even if the UN refuses to endorse it. The UN is currently unwilling to even impose sanctions. Countries like Russia and China for whatever reason aren't as keen on human freedom as the western democracies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one extra thing that I'd like to comment on. We didn't know what Tripoli would look like after liberation. Even now we don't have the results of a secret ballot or even an opinion poll. Some analysis is best done while the situation is still ambiguous. If you don't know what is innate in people, what action should you take? My opinion is that the people of Tripoli have a right to a secret ballot even if they use that to reelect a government with similar policies. Anything less is state-slavery which is unacceptable. And post-liberation when you can see all the happy faces - you know for sure that these good people should never have been held in chains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An interesting comment from a Libyan - everything can be bought with money except freedom. For freedom you need to pay a blood price. I think he added that now was the time for Libya to pay the price. That is another reason why objections to the Iraq war make no sense. The country needed to pay the blood price at some point. It may as well be now. Why should generation after generation have to live longer in state-slavery and then pay the blood price instead of paying it now? It's another form of compound interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I will be suggesting to Libyans that they now take the lead in getting Syria liberated. NATO air support, Libyan special forces if required. Or if special forces are beyond Libya's capability, they can at least take the political lead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also note that the motley collection of African thugs and halfwits refused to recognize the NTC, although hat's off to Nigeria for leading the way for recognition. We need a new union, probably NATO is good enough, with countries like Libya and perhaps Nigeria being members. And Australia too for that matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will leave you with a letter I was constructing to send to NATO on behalf of Anonymous to request ground troops when it looked like the rebels were stalemated. I was trying to get an opinion poll from Benghazi before sending it though. It was then that I realised I could try finding Libyan bloggers in Benghazi, and when I did, they seemed to be under the impression that they could win just with air support, so I never sent the letter, as the stalemated situation wasn't so bad, so long as the rebels didn't lose their territory, so that they could change their mind when ready. Obviously in hindsight we know that the ground troops weren't required, so I am glad I didn't send my letter. But the thanks to NATO still stands. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Open Letter from Anonymous to NATO Secretary-General regarding Libya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous applauds you and all contributing nations for recent actions in setting up a no-fly zone in Libya and implementing the 1973 resolution. This so far has succeeded in preventing the fall of Benghazi and provides a basis for real change in Libya after 42 long years. "Wars of liberation" are justified as humanitarian action and should be seen very differently  to "wars of conquest" which have historically blighted humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note, Anonymous expresses the sentiments seen in the streets of Benghazi. Especially noted are the number of French flags being waved and Anonymous applauds Sarkozy for stepping up to the plate when the free world called. Most inspiring is the passion of people who have been denied freedom for so long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also note the inevitable detractors - if not now, then later. This is expected, and why in this day and age, it is the person who takes the political and not the military lead, who is most brave - currently that man is Sarkozy. Footage from Benghazi suggests that the mood of the people is unabashedly one of gratitude, and this brave leadership should continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anonymous suggests taking some polls in Benghazi to gauge sentiment. Whatever action is taken next must be taken  with due care as not to steal the thunder of the brave Libyan people in facing down Gaddafi's mercenaries. Unfortunately Gaddafi retains most of the heavy weaponry and is proving quite difficult to dislodge. Special forces would be an appropriate addition to the war at this point in time - although a recipe for disaster if the rebels object to it and why consultation plays a crucial part. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ground forces may set a precedent for continued and swift liberations in places like Syria where we currently witness the horror of the regime hunting down protesters at night. This is on top of the horror of Gaddafi random bombing of Misrata with no-one intervening in a meaningful way. Note that there has been a formal request from Misrata rebel leadership for ground troops:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/misurata-body-says-it-has-asked-for-foreign-troops/2011/04/19/AFH6sJ6D_story.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and they have stated that they are willing to pay a high price (80% casualties) for victory:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Even if 400,000 people die and only 100,000 live, this is a victory"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would expect professional western troops to be able to secure victory with far less than 80% casualties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5509456426767287060?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5509456426767287060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5509456426767287060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/08/libyan-freedom.html' title='Libyan Freedom'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8658480452983443390</id><published>2011-08-20T19:04:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-20T19:12:17.054+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Russian Freedom</title><content type='html'>Russia owes its current freedom to patriots like &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14589691"&gt;Sergey Yevdokimov&lt;/a&gt; who turned his tanks around to protect the Russian parliament.

I think he admitted he had lost arguments on Strategy Page, and people who are willing to change their mind based on logical arguments seem to be very rare and very valuable. As is my usual style, I strip people down until I find out their unchangable dogma that they have been indoctrinated with or internalized for some other reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He opposed the Iraq war, a basically untenable position in my mind given that Saddam was ordering the rape of Iraqi women and chopping out the tongues of Iraqi men. I can logically explain that, but there is a barrier to understanding that. I had never been able to uncover the details of the barrier. I was only vaguely aware that something existed, and it was blocking the logic from being accepted. But this guy was willing to engage in the pure logic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The logical debate ended for me on a couple of points. He was quibbling over the definition of freedom, allowing freedom to exist even in a prison. My definition is "not subjugated". The other thing was that he didn't consider inaction to be something bad. So if someone else was doing the raping, he's not in any way responsible or obliged to stop it. I really couldn't argue these basic definitional things. So I was basically stuck, and thought that was the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, what I didn't realise was that his heart probably wasn't in those definitional things - they seem to have been thrown up just to avoid having to admit defeat. So he went away and did further thinking on his own, and forged a path from anti-interventionism to pro-interventionism. When I found out this, I asked him to document it, as I believe it may hold the key to world freedom. He has now &lt;a href="http://sabodog.livejournal.com/2291.html"&gt;documented&lt;/a&gt; it and it is truly fantastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You really need to read the whole thing. But here is one thing he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But, regardless of logic, I still had to justify this to myself on an emotional level. How could I believe in something so... abhorrent?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically logic is not enough. I personally operate in a paradigm where I am an individual in the world/universe, and where logic rules supreme. But not everyone else does, and that stumbling block of nationalism needs to be overcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"without national pride, logic takes precedence, and logic states 'avoid casualties' as opposed to 'don't invade another country'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gold. Pure gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog post should be the basis for an entire curriculum. The UK government should be expanding on this, with examples etc, and use it to properly assimilate immigrants. Even if at the end of the process they reject it out of hand, at least they will understand the culture they are entering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of culture, the way people are &lt;a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=44303"&gt;currently&lt;/a&gt; being taught is totally the wrong way around:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Western culture is uniquely inferior to the more authentic, spiritual, and wise cultures it has brutally subjugated"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I've been waiting for this key for years. Ever since message 666 failed to do the trick on its own. I'll now spend my time trying to see what I can do to expand on this theme. In the same way I used to debate strangers to see if I could get them to respond to pure logic, I'll see if I can get them to respond to this different way of expressing the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's this intriguing bit too:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"had secret dreams of seeing Russian fighter jets flying over the British skies"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to embrace the sheer power of that statement. This is the natural state of immigrants. They can be turned to our side, as has been done in this case already, but let us be honest that there's no program in place to turn immigrants. A lot of words have been written about the Japanese internment camps (in the US), but this is the honest reason why we have things like that - the divided loyalties of immigrants is a major cause for concern. Also I'm not sure how to reconcile this with the supposed hatred of war he mentions later. I'm more inclined to believe that war is in our blood. ie we are genetically inclined to wage war, as those who weren't waging war and forming appropriate alliances were wiped out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, at long last I have the required blueprint. If we can get more Russians on board we'll be home and hosed. China can be isolated at the UN and we can go and liberate the rest of the world. Just as the man says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"the vital missing piece was interventionism. Instead of simply waiting for dictators to die or run out of people to rule over, we could free the people"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man, what a gift to the world. And guess what? I'd be happy to see a pro-western Russian fighter jets flying over the UK skies too. As invited guests! Man I would so much love to be allied with Russia. Of course I'd like to be allied with China too, but it has to be on pro-free-world terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6784128160246266182?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6784128160246266182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6784128160246266182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/08/russian-confessions.html' title='Russian Confessions'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1437134429944219692</id><published>2011-08-10T02:38:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-10T03:13:28.742+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Dream Job</title><content type='html'>One of the ways I believe God communicates with us is via dreams. As usual, in order to get plausible deniability, the majority of dreams are stupid (just like the bible), so that you can hide some important concepts (like "love thy enemy" in the case of the bible).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'm just awake after a dream which I recognized as important and thus forced myself awake. I was going to just jot notes and write it up properly later, but what the heck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I was doing a particular job that was complicated but boring, and I wasn't doing it well. After a long time I was given the chance to try out some other jobs. One of them I was better at, but then there was a chance to be a tank driver. I didn't think I would be physically strong enough to do it, but I was, and it was like FUCKING STORMING NORMAN. There was a tape played by a tank driver who said that if he hadn't driven more aggressively (fuel-wasting) than trained, he would have missed out on most of his engagements. Lesson learned - drive by the seat of your pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just about to drive by the seat of my pants and not worry about fuel (hoping someone else would worry about that and give me some of theirs after the engagement) when I got scared, pulled back, and woke up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why was I scared? Perhaps no-one else was in fact ensuring that there was enough fuel left at the end of the engagements. If everyone is driving by the seat of their pants, you may end up winning the battle and losing the war. I'm the guy who naturally pulls back and ensures the bases are covered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should I be a general? Nope. You need to pull back even further than that. We've already got enough perfectly competent generals. The problem is that they are under civilian control, and the gigantic war machines at our disposal will remain in mothballs unless someone has the political balls to unleash them. And no-one is going to do that unless they have the citizens of the country largely on board. Which is why the Ultimate General is the one who engages citizens head on to try to change what is going on in the heads of pea-brained voters. I may have failed at playing Ultimate General, but at least I fucking tried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times (such as the escapade to the Chinese Embassy) where I see a path of opportunity opened up where I can ruthlessly pursue the goal of freedom and justice. Accosting the guy down at the train station who hit a woman was another pursuit of that goal. But most times there is not a clear avenue to victory opened up. There is a military avenue opened up - the US military could liberate the entire world besides China after getting the nod from Obama. The trouble is we have fickle citizens who are electing people who are unlikely to give the nod. So I pull back and plot. Forever plotting. Forever probing at the edges looking for a crack in the armour. Forever waiting to rush in where I can drive victory home. Ultimate Warrior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not really General because I'm not a people person like a General needs to be. I'm more inclined to just provide advice to the Generals of the world. I believe World Dictatorship is a solvable problem if we can just come up with the right sequence of words to give to the US President or the UK Prime Minister etc. I used to think that Message 666 had the right combination of words to impart the required understanding. To this day it provides perfect clarity to me of where the battle lines are to be drawn. Admittedly it basically declares the whole world to be an enemy at least some of the time, so maybe that's where it's falling down. But to me that's just the internal jihad - fighting against yourself. It really is crystal clear. It needs to be packaged differently in order to be sold though. And that's what remains elusive. So the war drags on. Clunk, clunk clunk as the armour is tested for flaws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-1437134429944219692?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1437134429944219692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1437134429944219692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/08/dream-job.html' title='Dream Job'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1936384834571675843</id><published>2011-08-09T20:20:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-08-09T20:24:41.052+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Somalian Will</title><content type='html'>Once again we are &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14447698"&gt;reminded&lt;/a&gt; by a soldier that the bottleneck for solving the world's problems is political will, not a lack of brave, decent, volunteer soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solving the problem of political will is a task that is so far beyond my technical skills.

It doesn't say "do not have enemies". It means that when you vanquish your enemy, you don't be cruel to them. But they still are (or were) enemies and they still do (or did) need to be defeated. Your enemy is those who would create injustice in the world (such as Saddam ordering the rape of Iraqi women). Your enemy needs to be vanquished. Once vanquished, your enemy should face justice, not cruelty. At the end of the day, your enemy is a natural animal reacting to his environment according to his genes and his imperfect logic skills and is not evil. His genes have evolved to be a subjugator etc and it requires careful conditioning if you want to stop the effect of that genetic programming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line - DO NOT ALLOW INJUSTICE IF YOU CAN REASONABLY PREVENT IT.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6494993019845864258?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6494993019845864258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6494993019845864258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/07/love-thy-enemy.html' title='Love Thy Enemy'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-7390128655286059418</id><published>2011-07-23T20:01:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-07-23T20:23:02.096+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Norway Killings</title><content type='html'>Norway's population is 4.7 million compared to the US's 300 million. That makes the approx 84 dead in the &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14259356"&gt;shooting spree&lt;/a&gt; equivalent to 5362 Americans, ie nearly twice as big a terrorist attack as happened to the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Norwegian government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from further attacks of this nature. It should go through the same deliberations as the Americans had to go through. Was it a racist attack? If so, all white people need to be eliminated from the face of the earth, just to be sure to get all of them. Was it a religious attack? If so, all Christians need to be eliminated from the face of the earth, just to be sure to get all of them. Was it a non-humanist attack? Yes it was. It was a fundamental violation of the golden rule. That guy should have been PROTECTING those people, not MURDERING them. As such, we need to respond to this by eliminating all non-humanists from the face of the earth, just to be sure to get all of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding changing policy to cater for the views of a white Christian Norwegian - forget it. There's too many people with conflicting demands. You can't give in to the first or last to commit a terrorist act. You should define your policy according to the golden rule and science. ie the government should be rational and humanist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as for the complete failure of the Christian religion to turn this guy into a protector of humans rather than a murderer of humans - well that whole wishy-washy religion should be abandoned in favour of something like Mu'tazilah which teaches a strong ethos of using your brain to protect humans - nothing left for "interpretation" (ie spinning to suit your purpose).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most tragic aspect of the whole thing is that Australia's longstanding proud record set by Martin Bryant has been smashed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-7390128655286059418?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7390128655286059418'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7390128655286059418'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/07/norway-killings.html' title='Norway Killings'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8802067526281996900</id><published>2011-07-13T19:47:00.009+10:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T15:47:22.989+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Libyan Timeline</title><content type='html'>Here is my rough involvement in the Libyan freedom struggle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-15 Uprising &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_2011_Libyan_civil_war"&gt;begins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-18 I instigated an Anonymous &lt;a href="http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=473"&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; calling for a war of liberation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-20 I made a &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=203115813039227&amp;comments"&gt;video address&lt;/a&gt; to the Libyan people and also started writing letters &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/libya-now.html"&gt;to&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/tony-take-charge.html"&gt;various&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/david-be-goliath.html"&gt;governments&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/libyan-no-fly-zone.html"&gt;asking&lt;/a&gt; for air support to be given to the rebels before they lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-21 I provided the bulk of an Anonymous &lt;a href="http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=509"&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; although another group of Anons &lt;a href="http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=511"&gt;contradicted that&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-26 I instigated another Anonymous &lt;a href="http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=550"&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; calling on the French et all to act unilaterally.

And another &lt;a href="http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=582"&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; that explained the problem with China and Russia being on the wrong side of history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-27 I saw an opportunity for a dramatic test of the West which I &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html"&gt;blogged&lt;/a&gt; about and went to great effort to try to ensure the message got heard, including going to the Chinese embassy the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-16 I printed out 500 A4 flyers asking Australians to lobby the Australian government to send planes to Libya. I handed them out at the Broadway tunnel. I was finding it difficult to get people to accept flyers from me and then I saw a couple of young girls having great success handing out their flyers, so I paid them to hand out mine too. I went to a Town Hall meeting regarding Wikileaks the same day to see if I could do something to make a difference there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-19 By this stage I had got a protest sign printed out asking for the Australian government to provide air support to the Libyan rebels. There was a Bradley Manning rally on in Martin Place, and I intended to hold my sign there. I attempted to go to that rally but wound up in Hyde Park instead, where there was obviously no rally! Fortunately soon after this Allied aircraft finally went into action, just as Benghazi was on the verge of being retaken by Gaddafi's thugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-22 I made a &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=211392125544929&amp;comments"&gt;video address&lt;/a&gt; to the people of Tripoli explaining that it was not a lack of bravery that made it impossible for them to defeat Gaddafi's goons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-24 I &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/australian-sas-killer-rabbit.html"&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt; to the Australian government asking for ground troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-26 I held my &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/help-australian-diggers-and-libyan.html"&gt;protest sign&lt;/a&gt; at the NSW elections. I had crossed out air support and was asking for ground troops now. My headband said "I love Libya" in Arabic. I had earlier seen an article on the BBC where a Libyan woman had that written on her hands. My Egyptian neighbour did the writing for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-06-20 I &lt;a href="http://benghazicitezen.blogspot.com/2011/06/closing-your-eyes.html"&gt;start&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://lebeeya.blogspot.com/2011/06/wolf-in-sheeps-clothing.html"&gt;writing&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href="http://libyano.blogspot.com/2011/06/blog-post_19.html"&gt;various&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://weda4all.blogspot.com/2011/06/libya-its-now.html"&gt;Libyan&lt;/a&gt; blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also active much of the time in the Anonymous chat room #oplibya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QOuqnO4VaZw/ToahgrLvBoI/AAAAAAAAACo/bFr7Fpld7vU/s1600/libya_protest.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QOuqnO4VaZw/ToahgrLvBoI/AAAAAAAAACo/bFr7Fpld7vU/s400/libya_protest.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658387564557436546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. My involvement may well have had no impact in the decision to provide air support to the rebels, but at least I tried. During the Vietnam war people petitioned the government and got the government to do something bad. I'm trying the reverse of that, which is to get the government to do something good - ie liberate more people. It also highlights where the bottleneck is. We do not have a shortage of trained troops who could do this job. What we have is a shortage of POLITICAL WILL. Soldiers in Australia are not even allowed to get involved in political activities like that. In today's world, what we need is more people pushing for the political action of deploying western troops in support of freedom fighters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.P.S.

I say NO WAY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The poor Libyans are required (the price of getting China and Russia to abstain) to fight for their freedom with inferior equipment to the enemy, and "just" air support. Compare that to what the Iraqis have and it's a complete joke. The ONLY thing that Iraq NEEDS is aircraft to put down a coup attempt by Sadr loyalists etc. And such air support only needs to come out very rarely, probably never, and can come from Kuwait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is far more important that the US sticks by the only date for full withdrawal that it ever agreed to. It will make the political argument easier if the US never did anything wrong. Yes, I know a mutually-agreed extension isn't technically wrong, but so many people think that the Iraqi government are puppets and the US has its troops there still to control them, that it's better to just yank that rug from underneath them, given that it doesn't matter anyway - they are NOT needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the worst case scenario that there is a military coup or something that the US won't put down with troops out of Iraq, but would have if they had remained there, well, that's just bad luck. Iraq isn't nearly as important in 2011 as it was in 2003. We already know that Arab Muslims can run a democracy. We know exactly what that democracy looks like. We know what the people innately want. We know where the divisions are. And guess what? We've got new Arab Muslim democracies waiting in the wings (ie Tunisia and Libya) which are likely to be more successful than Iraq's, because they don't have the ethnic and religious divisions. Iraq was far more interesting in 2003 than the other 2, as we could see how they would politically resolve the religious differences (similar religious differences caused 9/11). We now know the answer - they didn't resolve them. The religious bigotry is still there, and the potential for further anti-non-Muslim violence exists while ever this religious bigotry remains. Expunging that requires more time and/or more direct culture changing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that soldiers don't want to feel they died for nothing. They didn't. The Middle East needed to be shaken up after 9/11, and by joves, it has been shaken up. With 300+ political parties in Iraq alone, and emerging democracies elsewhere, and inherent sectarian tensions laid bare for scrutiny, it has been shaken up. Progress in the rest of the Middle East may feed back into Iraq too. ie if Tunisia has a working democracy, then if we end up with an Al Sadr dictatorship, the Iraqis will have something better to aspire to, and a quick war can be done at any time to restore Iraq's democracy. This time the old security forces should not be disbanded. And this time the Iraqis will hopefully not be voting for religious parties. Maybe we can even force the Iraqis to abandon the religious bigotry in their constitution that says that Iraq is a member of the Muslim world, and drop the racist reference to being a member of the Arab world too. I see that we have a lot more room for manouvre now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8804598391169891363?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8804598391169891363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8804598391169891363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/07/out-of-iraq.html' title='Out of Iraq'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-419368883079803225</id><published>2011-07-10T08:09:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-07-10T08:25:25.916+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Self-defence</title><content type='html'>There is something inherently wrong with self-defence. While it is indeed a right, the problem is that the victim only gets justice if they are strong enough to defend themselves and win the fight with the aggressor. Therefore as a civilization we need to ensure that no individual or country ever needs to defend themselves. That even if a victim does nothing, the collective will react to the violation and bring justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the world was only comprised of innocent liberal democracies, then the UN would be an appropriate body to defend the rights of the individual country. This has a direct analogy in the playground where a bully may victimize an innocent person and a stronger force is called upon to hopefully bring justice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I deal with these analogies a lot. Individual countries are just groups rather than individuals and you can usually draw a conclusion about how a collection of countries behave and then apply those rules to individuals within a country. Or vice-versa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the reason people are drawing different conclusions is that they look at countries as a complete entity with the head of state as its legitimate representative. But I instead see a dictator as representing only 5% or whatever as the population, and treat that as an entity, and treat the other 95% as a different entity, and the one that is the victim of oppression. In a democracy you have 51% who voted for the leader, with most of the other 49% supporting the legitimacy of that leader's rule and strongly opposed to any attack upon him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-419368883079803225?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/419368883079803225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/419368883079803225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/07/self-defence.html' title='Self-defence'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1073916115234928987</id><published>2011-07-01T09:14:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-07-01T09:18:47.617+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Jamaica</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-13952592"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is an example of a people who can recognize reality and are somewhat willing to do what is necessary to genuinely solve their problems.

Some will say that it's just nature, or culture that causes these things to happen, and we should just ignore it. After all, we couldn't directly hear the Iraqi women saying that they didn't want to be raped, and that this should not in any way be considered part of their culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there was "cosmic justice" in the world, then what should happen is every few decades you should be required to exchange places with a random person in the world. The chances are good that you will end up in the 3rd world if this were to happen. As a hedge against that, you should be taking action now, to make sure that the 3rd world is not the horror it currently is. As I have said before, that involves things like recolonizing Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But before we can even do things like that, we need to know what people around the world actually want. How can we have justice in the world when we don't even know whether Iraqi women like Saddam having total power over them or not? To that end, we need to be able to question the people around the world to find out what they want. And for that, they need to have an environment of freedom. So as a first step, we need to set up liberal democracies just so we can find out what people innately want. And when finding out what they want, they should have the full range of options to choose from. ie information should not be suppressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the driver of cosmic justice is to me enough to both justify the Iraq war and provide urgency to it. And for other liberations. We need to hear people talking freely about what they want, so that we can then attempt to provide fair rules that will hopefully allow more people to get what they want. Unless you think a just world is not important, in which case my response is that you deserve to end up on the bottom rung when body swaps start happening (or reincarnation).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8127950531254769098?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8127950531254769098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8127950531254769098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/06/cosmic-justice.html' title='Cosmic Justice'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3319823875270776285</id><published>2011-06-23T19:47:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-06-23T20:21:26.504+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Hailing Frequency</title><content type='html'>When searching for extraterrestrial life, searchers need to ask themselves "what would an obvious frequency be?", ie what would the galactic "hailing frequency" be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout my life I have generally born in mind what the obvious thing a prophet would do is. I was disillusioned with Jesus's alleged philosophy of "turn the other cheek" which led to gross unchecked human rights abuses. A decent prophet would be preaching a different message - one that said that human rights needed to be defended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideally the defense of human rights would be done by someone other than the victim. So e.g. the ideal response after 9/11 would have been for the rest of the world to say "America, sit tight - thanks for your help in past scrapes - we will take care of this problem for you - you don't need to exercise your right to self-defence". And then the neutral observer could have starting winding up the worldwide anti-Americanism that led to this attack. The world is obviously far from this ideal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, when the Iraq war was on, there was a major change happening in the world, and there was a dispute as to whether that was right or wrong. 99.9% of the non-Iraqi world doesn't have access to Iraqis to ask for their opinion on whether it was right or wrong, and why. So if there was a prophet in the world, the most likely case was that he was in that 99.9% - outside the political/military/media circle, and would have been dependent on asking the Iraqi bloggers for their opinion. So there was an obvious "hailing frequency" - a place for prophets to congregate and exchange analysis. Also a place for hardcore atheists to go to prove that they were better than any damned prophet to have ever walked the face of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another assumption - any prophet worth his salt would be doing his analysis according to scientific principles and would have accepted the data provided by the western governments - which are organizations in themselves, subject to leaks - and which come with vetting by the free media. ie accept a simple truth from those sources, rather than assuming that everything was a conspiracy and believing that Bush ordered 9/11 etc. Because the best data is required in order to come to the best conclusions.

It's a dead-end equation. The money is not requested as a once-off payment to get people out of a hole so that they can make structural changes and possibly even repay the money (or transfer the favour onto someone else). And nor is there any analysis of the money already being paid to see if it is being squandered. Nor is root cause analysis done to find out if the problem is in fact people breeding out of control so that some sort of China-like "one child policy" can be implemented.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of China. As discussed, I wish for China or some other force to invade Australia as a once-off task to fix the political system in Australia where there is no real debate (such as the above) because the elites that control the media decide what the terms of the debate will be. I do NOT want sanctions on Australia. I want to be liberated - not punished for something that I have no ability to change. I note that China is building an aircraft carrier. That's fantastic news for those of us waiting for Liberation Day. And as I said - East Timor should be available as a launch pad.

As if the means (war) were something bad. But I choose war entirely because it's the most scientifically valid method of resolving that injustice against millions of Iraqis, not because I like war. Depending on the injustice - sometimes you call SWAT and other times you call the US military. When you are already using the most appropriate tool for the job, the means don't require justification. It is allowing an injustice (institutionalized rape, mutilation, subjugation) to continue indefinitely that requires justification - not the freeing of millions of Iraqis (or Libyans or Syrians as the case may be).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-678490666484140272?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/678490666484140272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/678490666484140272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/06/justifying-means.html' title='Justifying the Means'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3933388346518732670</id><published>2011-05-29T16:00:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-29T16:40:52.338+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Trust Science</title><content type='html'>In the computer "simulation" model of the universe, the software that gives you "non-artificial" intelligence may not be something that is at all visible in this universe.

But I suspect our brains have been distributed as something similar to "object code only".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also suspect that when you have an idea, it's not really yours. God/environment injects "random ideas" into our brain such that they appear to be self-generated.

Note that the Cold War has not been fully responded to any more than 9/11 has. In both cases it is the underlying ideological conflicts that need to be wrapped up, rather than just their arbitrary instantiations (communism is just one non-humanist dogma among many).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the opposite approach I took, I would be hopeless as a politician who first and foremost needs to deal with local issues.

There is no serious discussion on how to fix the world, because:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The politicians debate what they think is convenient to debate, and they aren't the top experts anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The media decides what the terms of the debate will be on their media, and is able to lock out new or decent players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The internet is too vast and fragmented to allow the debate to occur. There was a brief time when the Iraqi blogs were able to provide focus for real debate (brave enough to be open to the world instead of the elite), but that focus has now gone, and regardless, the result of that debate has no impact on the power structures who have successfully locked out competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the UK the existing power structures managed to get the sheep to even vote against the Alternative Vote referendum. In Australia, apathy has caused Australians to not look outside the message the media gives. This has led to horrors such as Australians believing the Iraq war was wrong and withdrawing troops before the job had been completed. It has led to the Julia Gillard prosecuting Australian troops for rough words used by rough men, instead of sending those rough men to assist in Libya. The Australian government makes an effort to prohibit freedom of speech and institute censorship instead of ensuring the population gets genuine debate. They are not accountable to anyone other than fellow elitists. The rare situation where a 3rd party like Pauline Hanson comes along to challenge the existing power structures they find a way to lock her up as a political prisoner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democracy has failed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let's take a look at China. The leadership there is in no way communist. They run their economy according to the best known practices. Rational government. They preside over a population that is largely rural and would likely vote for REAL communism if they don't do this properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rational government works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which leadership is most likely to fulfill God's Obvious Mission? First of all let me define that, since so many are blind to the bleeding obvious. If there was a god and he asked someone to go on a mission, the mission would be a simple "fix the world". Anyone can take on this mission. You can devote say 10% of your time to this mission. Fix the world. Analyze what is wrong with the world, then fix it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US government has in the past made a lot of effort to fix the world - most noticably fighting and winning the Cold War. They stood up to the plate when God called on players to go on his mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the US is less willing to step up to the plate now, and is unlikely and unable to do anything about Australia when it suffers from the same lack of debate by a media interested in entertainment not problem-solving (part of God's Obvious Mission).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using whatever freedom of speech we still have in Australia we should be lobbying the Chinese government to take on the GOM. GOM will entail fixing the institutions in Australia so that they are also on the GOM. The Chinese may need to intervene militarily in Australia in order to get Australia on the GOM, so we can discuss what military options are available to the Chinese to complete this mission. They are building up a relationship with the East Timorese which will be an excellent place from which to launch an intervention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How close are we to getting China to embark on GOM? Good question! Although they have generally opposed intervention in places like Libya, that is hopefully just an elaborate cover story. They are pretending to be against interventionism so that dubious countries like Australia will think nothing of the Chinese military buildup. We need the Chinese to strike while Australia is unprepared and busily engaged in political theater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I notice that the Chinese are getting pretty involved in Christianity. This is at a time when in the western world &lt;a href="http://susansayler.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/how-science-influences-the-collective-mindset-by-susan-sayler/"&gt;most Christians are that in name only and don’t really believe in God&lt;/a&gt;. The Chinese may be on GOM already and we just haven't noticed this independent actor coming into view. Let us pray. Or lobby. Whatever.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4133867253414231825?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4133867253414231825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4133867253414231825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/gods-obvious-mission.html' title='God&apos;s Obvious Mission'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-6314972599935111610</id><published>2011-05-20T21:26:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-20T21:51:24.590+10:00</updated><title type='text'>End of a Universe</title><content type='html'>I used to live in a universe where the Australian government cared about human rights and would obviously send ground troops to Libya in their hour of need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the troops never went there. And when I tried to petition my government to get the troops sent, I was physically intimidated. The two parties have a gentleman's agreement to keep power for themselves and lock out third parties like Pauline Hanson. Politics in Australia is a mere &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13435812"&gt;sideshow&lt;/a&gt;.

Now I realise that you don't need to go that far. It is enough to just look at the current one through a lens with the right conspiracy theories. In a world where a majority of the planet says that the 2003 Iraq war was for oil, without a single scrap of evidence anywhere for that theory, nor a single drop of oil stolen, it should be easy enough to peddle some alternate conspiracies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So tomorrow I will create a new universe with some role changes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6314972599935111610?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6314972599935111610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6314972599935111610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/end-of-universe.html' title='End of a Universe'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-7121593104871722984</id><published>2011-05-16T18:35:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-16T18:58:13.041+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Conflict Space</title><content type='html'>I was debating with an anti-2003-Iraq-war American today, and it served to highlight the tribal instincts. They divided the world into nation states and couldn't conceive that America could attack someone who wasn't directly threatening them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas people like me divide the world into humanists, non-humanists and anti-non-humanists (otherwise known as "neutral", "bad" and "good" respectively) - a grouping that includes members of every nation in all categories. And we view nation states as a forced grouping by geography. And the important thing is the ideology of the person who rises to the top in that geographical region, because if it's an anti-non-humanist who gets into power, the resources of the nation state get to be used to topple non-humanists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In answer to befuddled insurgents who look at US military rule and see "dictatorship" while I see "freedom", there is a sub-category of anti-non-humanism called anti-subjugation. Instead of fighting dictatorship, which the US military technically was, instead of fighting occupation, which the US certainly was, instead of fighting power - and the US military is certainly the most powerful - the goal was to fight subjugation - which wasn't occurring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was not possible for me to isolate this desire to fight subjugation - not power, occupation or dictatorship - without the Iraq war. As I needed to live those brief months where the US had a military occupation to see how the Iraqis reacted to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was with that that I also had the terminology to explain to Russians what was causing the free nations of NATO to naturally band together (as non-subjugators and anti-subjugators) without needing to be forced to do so.

Let's go through them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"First, we should only commit our forces when clear and vital American interests are at stake, period."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So only selfish wars allowed? No foreign aid allowed? If that's what it means to be American these days, then I'll take my chances with the French who were at the forefront of using their troops to help others in Libya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Second, if we have to fight, we fight to win."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure. And be cunning about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To do that we use overwhelming force."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, that's what non-cunning people do. Cunning people outsource the fighting to the locals wherever possible. Get the locals into a position where they can claim that they won the war themselves - because they did!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We only send our troops into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The enemy you generally face is in fact a culture. Changing a culture is not something that is even a military job, let alone being tasked to do it quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We do not send our military and stretch out the mission with an open-ended and ill-defined mission."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mission is "change the culture so that people like Timothy McVeigh do not commit terrorism". Also other things like Koran-burning should not cause a hostile response. It takes a long time to get such tolerance built. The military doesn't need to be involved in the final stages of that, which make take generations, but sometimes is involved in the initial stage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nation-building, a nice idea in theory, but it’s not the main purpose of our armed forces."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure. Afghanistan and Iraq were unique in that respect. Normally you can just reuse the old military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We use our military to win wars."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/11 demonstrated that the war is between ideologies, not nation-states. Defeating an ideology needs more than just the military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And third, we must have clearly defined goals and objectives before sending our troops into harm’s way. If you can’t explain the mission to the American people clearly, concisely, then our sons and daughters should not be sent to battle. Period."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it the government that needs to define the goals? Why not allow the government to have "plausible deniability" and then throw it open to pundits to make the case for why converting a dictatorship into a democracy is a good thing for humanity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Fourth, American soldiers must never be put under foreign command. We will fight side by side by our allies, but American soldiers must remain under the care and command of the American officers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Are you implying that other NATO allies are not trained to NATO standards?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And fifth, sending our armed forces should be the last resort."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Why not simply "a resort", "another tool in the toolbox"? What's so damned special about war? Do you send in police as a last resort too? Why not? Why not send in 3rd grade teachers to check out a burglary report? Why the immediate escalation to armed cops? There may not even be any burglars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We don’t go looking for dragons to slay."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should. Otherwise small dragons become big dragons because nobody was out and about slaying small dragons.

E.g. a frog will go into a space in the rocks and it so happens that there is enough food available that it doesn't need to leave, so it remains in that safe place. It then successfully grows to an adult, only then finding that the rock opening is too small for it to get out of when food is in short supply. The tragedy is that we can see this fundamentally flawed behaviour, but we can't write a "frog instruction manual" so that the frogs can protect themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have a similar situation with humans trapped under dictatorships in places like Syria and Iran. It is unlikely that they will be able to free themselves any more than the frog can. The laws of physics are stacked against them. We are very lucky indeed that the way weapons systems developed, the liberal democracies survived by the skin of their teeth. Otherwise we'd be looking down the barrel of worldwide Nazi slavery, with no-one to come to the rescue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the lucky and flukey way that liberal democracy has managed to wind up in a winning position, we now owe it to those who didn't make it, to rescue them. It's what we would expect/demand if the situation was reversed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6312553769543267885?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6312553769543267885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6312553769543267885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/trapped-frogs.html' title='Trapped Frogs'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3891946338356319043</id><published>2011-05-09T17:04:00.006+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-09T20:58:13.705+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Focus</title><content type='html'>One of the annoying things I am facing is that there's not a very good "focus" for the liberation efforts underway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Iraq was being liberated, we had the Iraqi blogs, but that nominally only covered Iraq. Still, it was where people from all over the world came together to discuss strategy/progress/etc. One of the Iraqi blogs recently had a &lt;a href="http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com/2011/04/middle-east-transformation-will-not.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; showing it was still alive, and I asked in the comments (another annoying thing is that comments now require a sign-on as well as moderation) if they could do anything to provide a focus for liberation efforts, but didn't get a reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have set up a &lt;a href="http://forums.mutazilah.org"&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; of my own to provide some of what I'm looking for, but mainly spammers were interested in that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were the &lt;a href="http://www.libyafeb17.com"&gt;libyafeb17&lt;/a&gt; forums, but that is only about Libya. I'm interested in quite a broad range of liberation. Also no IRC channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is also &lt;a href="http://www.livestream.com/libya17feb"&gt;this TV channel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was more after the interactive nature of IRC though, and I originally found that in #optunisia and #oplibya and #opsyria and #operationfreedom at irc.anonops.ru. The server is quite unreliable though, and today the domain was hacked making it point to irc.tsukihi.me (which used to be called helldive.org and before that partyvan.info which was apparently part of Anonymous at one point). Then it was made to point to freenode. There is some info &lt;a href="http://message.anonops.in"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; with a recommendation to go to irc.anonops.in which is currently down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that I personally am what is called a "moralfag" - someone who just talks about the right thing to do (e.g. whether to deploy NATO ground troops or not) rather than DDOSing targets (which I don't even know how to do). I wish people would focus on things revolving around freeing millions of people from state-slavery. It is unbelievable that many people oppose even the NATO air war in Libya and question NATO's motives. It was bad enough that Bush was being questioned regarding the 2003 Iraq war. That is the intellectual battle I choose to fight. To at least rip up the confidence the detractors like to talk with, with zero evidence at hand. Currently that battle is largely stalled &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/sim-universe.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108004"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-3891946338356319043?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3891946338356319043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3891946338356319043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/focus.html' title='Focus'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2334550912105565427</id><published>2011-05-05T15:36:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-05T17:22:49.673+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Space Travel</title><content type='html'>Here is how space travel can possibly be achieved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are likely to have a huge stress when travelling to Mars or beyond. Being couped up is bad enough. Being couped up and knowing that you are millions of miles away from home is something that could quite literally drive you insane. In space, no-one can hear you scream. The last thing we need is insane astronauts. So here's what needs to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get people who are willing to live in a confined space, such as their house as coach potatoes wishing that they could order home delivery everything so that they never need to leave their chat rooms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drug them up so that they are asleep during the launch of their space vehicle. Send up two space vehicles. One that is meant to go to Mars, the other stays in orbit around Earth. Don't tell them which one they are in. When people wake up, keep them in darkness, and for extra safety, keep their eyes closed. They should be able to feel an air current. This lets them know they are potentially on a planet with wind, and it's clearly a breathable atmosphere, even if there is no light. They should call out "are we in a game?". This gives the maximum flexibility for behaviour. The answer given need not be honest, and the astronaut needs to take this into account. If he's in a game (real or faked), he needs to know the rules. These can be given prior to the astronaut being able to visually see anything. The environment can be described so that he can start using his imagination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, he needs to be given medication. This should probably consist of about 3 identical-looking pills. Don't tell him what the pills are for. They can all be placebos. The point is that one of them could be some sort of hallucinogenic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next thing is the date should be shortly before the 1st April. This way the astronaut never knows whether he is being lied to or not. It could all be a wind up to an elaborate April Fool's Day prank, and even after the day has changed, it could still be faked, because the authorities could have changed the calendar deliberately. So long as the astronaut is not given any independent way of verifying this, every day is dangerous, and the astronaut needs to constantly hedge his bets as to whether the environment is earth orbit, or interplanetary travel, or a space station prepositioned along the route.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Space stations can be of near-identical shape so that one room just needs to be "renovated" in order to appear to be a space station. Staff can be rotated so that it appears that an identical twin was at the space station. E.g. someone who was called Esther at one point in the journey might have a twin sister called Ethel picked up at a space station. Don't let the astronauts know how many people are in the space ship, and do indeed use identical twins as astronauts. Staff in separate compartments can do IM chatting under different fake IDs to give the illusion of a large number of astronauts. There can be strict rules of non-disclosure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other things need to be done to complete the illusion. E.g. ensuring that messages posted on an earth-based chat room are appropriately delayed, regardless of whether the astronaut is in orbit or is on his way to Mars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully those things will make a start on making space travel as pleasant as possible. A pity we don't have a way of faking the absence of gravity or things would be a lot more flexible. Fortunately Mars has similar gravity to earth, so that can potentially be faked too, although I think anyone reaching Mars will be eager to see it for themselves and will risk insanity on the trip home rather than requesting that that be rigged in such a way to provide "plausible deniability" also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that these ideas were based on me living my life as if my router may have been hacked such that all the information I have about the universe is also faked. ie when I go to the BBC News website, if I am instead directed to some other website, I wouldn't even know. And I'm not the sort of person who normally tries to verify that, because I have faith in humanity, and have no reason to leave Sydney. It was only when I needed to get &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html"&gt;a message&lt;/a&gt; to Gaddafi that I ever decided to ensure that the message was getting through, rather than being intercepted by my government. I attempted to verify by going to the Chinese embassy, and at one point nearly going to the Russian embassy AS WELL. Gravity is so annoying, because otherwise only a small portion of Sydney would need to be faked for me to be happy enough that I'm still in Sydney.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2334550912105565427?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2334550912105565427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2334550912105565427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/space-travel.html' title='Space Travel'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2430305230519476316</id><published>2011-05-04T18:24:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T19:02:37.879+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Sim Universe</title><content type='html'>When I was on the Anonymous chat rooms dealing with the Tunisian and Libyan and (sort of) Syrian revolutions, I noticed that I was generally getting all my information online, mainly from the BBC website, and discussion was online too. All thought that I had was based on what I could get via my computer via the internet. And if those websites such as the BBC had been faked, and the chat room was similarly controlled by the CIA, I would have been discussing events that weren't even occurring. The whole thing could have just been an imaginary event. That lends itself to the following things:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. We should be able to set up our own artificial universe, with a website that people get their info from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The current universe may already be set up that way. It's purely the result of people or machines making up some ridiculous story about Jews and Muslims etc etc and we're dumb enough to believe it. Well, we have no choice but to believe it, since we're inside it and forced to live at least the bit we're willing to get off the couch and verify for ourselves, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. For someone like me who isn't willing to get up off the couch, it's a simple matter of hacking into my PC and installing the appropriate software, or else hacking into my router. So long as the BBC keeps working, I'll be happy enough even if the news is all faked. People in say the Philippines would need to be employed to continue contacting me and pretending to be Americans or whatever. I don't have the technical expertise to verify that. It would be rare that I ever phoned someone up (which would require intercepting the phone call too). Instead of employing people in the Philippines we could just have volunteers (aka fellow game players). People just shouldn't break the bond of trust, and continue to give opinions as if they were really part of this faked universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a proposal document which has had input from others:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SIM-UNIVERSE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(proposal for n computer game/conceptual model for universes)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In reference to the game sim-city, here is a proposal for a sim-universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The objective of the sim-universe is to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Discover the Laws of Physics&lt;br /&gt;2. Discover the Prophet (if any exist in the world at that time) - he is presumably in the peace camp advocating some sort of kumbiyah solution&lt;br /&gt;3. Assemble an almighty war machine for an Ultimate Showdown but never actually deploy it (imagine NATO forces assembling in France to launch on Libya, and the Benghazi rebels getting more and more sophisticated while never actually launching an attack on Sirte)&lt;br /&gt;4. Discover the true nature of DNA manipulation, to create organs with ones own tissue, and never die. &lt;br /&gt;5. Strengthen individual liberty.&lt;br /&gt;6. Name the minorities who are being exploited as a political football.&lt;br /&gt;7. An exploited minority is one who actually controls the rules of the universe, and the challenge in the universe is for free people to end his/her exploitation so that the rules can be modified so that "Heaven" is created.&lt;br /&gt;8. Identify universal human rights and extend them worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;9. Create free trade worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To keep everyone honest, whenever you're chatting to someone on Yahoo Messenger or whatever, you can always ask "which universe?" and if anyone says "real life" the appropriate response to that is "rofl" - there is no such thing as real life - anyone who has gone to the effort of constructing a universe deserves equal credit to whatever universe you think you currently reside in (when you go to sleep, you are in an alternate universe anyway - your imagination is someone else's reality!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can choose to "play" on the male or female team. The male team must be determined to solve the War of the Day (e.g. think Libya April 2011 in the "Earth" universe) via war, and must spend all its time creating a grand military alliance that conforms to the Laws of Physics. The female team must be determined that a peaceful solution to the crisis exists and must have a knee-jerk reaction to any talk of violence. The male team must want immediate warfare, but is permanently denied it because the forces are under political control of females, who are the majority of the population in any country that matters. They are only allowed preparations for war, not a real war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the great things about this is that even blind people can play the game, because the universes are completely made up. The person who made up the game is the One True Prophet, but they must always deny (just like everyone in the Anonymous chat rooms will deny being a Fed) that they are him/her, and may be dead in the "real world" by the time the puzzle is figured out anyway. Also, he may have chosen to go for "computer generated everything", so he doesn't know the laws of physics even himself (assuming he's still alive and still an active gamer). The battle of the sexes (left-brain and right-brain thinking) takes place in an Anonymous channel describing the operation and which action should be taken next. People get their "news" from another website, the equivalent of BBC News. Some people will be in a team that creates that News website that speaks of further atrocities and the men are further inspired to continue to create the world's deadliest alliance on record. Hopefully there will be sufficient gamers willing to take on each of these roles for each universe in existence, but it doesn't really matter, because when you enter a universe, you can always find out what the current status of it is, and if it's waiting on news, you know you need to adopt that role yourself or find a different universe. Different universes will presumably differ in popularity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the amount of effort expected to be expended in these things, the Prophet may allow succession so that when they get sick of playing, others can still enjoy it. To make things easier to start with, we'll assume that all the Laws of Physics that apply to Earth also apply to the new universe. Although if the official news agency starts broadcasting new scientific breakthroughs like the poles of Planet Spock just swapped around and now everything is subjected to anti-gravity instead of gravity, that's the new reality and everything presumably needs to be tied down. That's an extreme example though - probably best to keep the Laws of Physics the same so that we actually have something we can relate to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possibly just need to switch country names around to start off with. E.g. China is the world's only/greatest liberal democracy, Australia has the civil war, and the Australian rebels are asking the Chinese for assistance. China is assembling a million-man liberation force, with no plausible enemy at home, and nuclear weapons to protect it even if it somehow misjudged that. East Timor has agreed to allow its territory to be used as a launch pad into Australia. Rest of the world has abstained because they can't stomach the idea of "invading" Australia, while China has a variety of reasons for wanting to see the rebels succeed and is willing to back that with force. What are the news reports for the liberation force being assembled in East Timor? What has the male team been suggesting? Via plausible deniability, the news reports just happen to be taking great ideas from the channel and the assembled force in East Timor gets updated. Reports from Sydney are getting more shrill. Women and children being killed by the bucketload, yada yada yada. What are the Chinese actually able to assemble anyway? Any ideas? Ok, let's make this the first alternate universe, and in the absence of actual software to lighten the load, we'll use committees to provide proof of concept. We'll call it Operation Panda. Shitload better than Operation Odyssey Dawn. The rules for the universe need to be set up so that the universe is actually believable to humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video can be created that looks at least as convincing as:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URZN9HoOxcw&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Panda News reports include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Gillard (Australian dictator - Australia is a Marxist state - similar to North Korea in at least one other universe) claims that there are no women and children being deliberately killed.&lt;br /&gt;2. Australian rebels are waving Chinese flags in the street in appreciation of the no-fly zone that the Chinese are operating over northern Australia.&lt;br /&gt;3. Chinese insist that they are in for the long haul.&lt;br /&gt;4. US/UK/France/Russia make a minor amount of noise about this being an internal Australian matter, but mostly just don't want to back the loser.&lt;br /&gt;5. China says that the Australia regime's sponsorship of the Malayan Peoples Army Liberation Front is something that the world as a whole should not tolerate and calls on more people to join the alliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that by creating one or more alternate universes, we can hopefully abstract the problems we have in our "real" universe, so that more sims and less "real" people die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is already this software in existence:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_V&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but Artificial Intelligence will be needed to ensure that the moves are all logically correct to be human-believable, so it will be necessary to hand-construct one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2430305230519476316?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2430305230519476316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2430305230519476316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/sim-universe.html' title='Sim Universe'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4819729988876708716</id><published>2011-05-03T20:15:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-03T21:24:13.863+10:00</updated><title type='text'>End of an Era</title><content type='html'>So Bin Laden's reign of terror is finally over. And in yet another coincidence - I got that news just as I had given up trying to protect Muslims from genocide and more-or-less decided to protect Jews from genocide instead. I have discovered in my dealings with Muslims that there is too much "the Jews want xyz" and it would be a lot easier for me to respond "I'm a Jew, and I don't want that". Generally every Middle Eastern dictatorship is blamed on the Jews, while meanwhile there is nothing the poor Jews can actually do because its written in the Islamic religion to fight the Jews till the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_antisemitism"&gt;end of time&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim).Sahih Muslim, 41:6985, see also Sahih Muslim, 41:6981, Sahih Muslim, 41:6982, Sahih Muslim, 41:6983, Sahih Muslim, 41:6984, Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:56:791,(Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:52:177)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realise there are Muslims who don't subscribe to the literal interpretation of this. I used to be one of them, and I would write this off the same way that Jews write off stoning your own children to death if they are disobedient. But it is time for me to be a Jew who needs to face Muslims who do believe the literal interpretation. Obviously I will be part of Reform Judaism since I don't follow the literal interpretation. I will self-identify as a Jew the same way that Christians self-identify as Christians. It reminds me of when I was in Grade 11 (about 16 years old) and they introduced the major religions as part of religious studies, and each one sounded cool so I used to adopt it for a week. It was only temporary though, as I always went back to the cold comfort of atheism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. The final straw was on realizing that intermarriage between the two ideologies wouldn't work either, as Jewish men aren't able to marry Muslim women, and any solution that leaves Jewish men without a bloodline in order to achieve peace is no solution that I can tolerate.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4819729988876708716?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4819729988876708716'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4819729988876708716'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/end-of-era.html' title='End of an Era'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2590852436012121226</id><published>2011-05-01T00:57:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2011-05-01T02:00:20.612+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Middle East Status Update</title><content type='html'>The Middle Eastern revolutions have been a huge blessing. First of all, whenever I look at a group of people, such as the Tunisians, I know that they didn't choose to be born in Tunisia. So I don't expect them to all have an identical mentality, and in fact, I consider it to be racist to have that expectation. That's why I consider most on the left-wing to be racist. They talk about Palestinians etc without hedging that only x% of them are on the permanent grievance left-wing cause celebre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in Tunisia, there was always going to be x% of people who just wanted to live in a normal European-style secular capitalist liberal democracy, and people in the West shouldn't have anything against such people. The sickest thing I see in the West is when I see right-wing Americans claiming that the Tunisians aren't ready for democracy until the x is large enough for the Tunisians to be able to take on automatic weapons in a glorious revolution. Sick, sick, sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately the Tunisians got lucky and they had a military coup at the highest level. This fact gets lost in the pictures of glorious revolution seen on TV. There is simply no way past a properly-organized modern military. That is somewhat lost on the Egyptians too. The street demos triggered off what was basically a military coup. The Libyans managed to get some military units to switch sides, but it was nowhere near what was required for victory. Even NATO air strikes have only been enough to protect eastern gains and not enough to dislodge Gaddafi. In Yemen it seems that at the end of the day, the ruler himself was decent enough to do a military coup on himself. Similar to Gorbachev. In Syria it looks like people are going to get the same result as in Iran - as many people mowed down as required to ensure regime survival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the take-away lesson here remains that glorious revolutions are no match for automatic weapons. This is the deadly equation that saw 100,000 Iraqis die in 1991 without achieving anything at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously the results of democracy in these countries remains somewhat unpredictable. I am willing to wear the (small) risk of Al Qaeda terrorists having the numbers in a place like Tunisia. The Tunisians don't have the capacity to do much harm, and they will quickly tire of Al Qaeda should they choose it. Reality is that they will feel insulted that I even mention Al Qaeda. This is a nation that just passed a law saying that election lists must be staggered with equal numbers of women. They're about to leapfrog the West with something like that. I'm normally against quotas, but I think in a situation like that, it doesn't matter who the spokesman for an ideology is, so it may as well be staggered.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2590852436012121226?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2590852436012121226'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2590852436012121226'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/05/middle-east-status-update.html' title='Middle East Status Update'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8375952797929195472</id><published>2011-04-30T03:42:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-04-30T04:11:45.627+10:00</updated><title type='text'>My Bond</title><content type='html'>One of the things I have been subconciously doing is documenting Australian culture so that it can be exported to the legions who wish to migrate to here but are unable to do so. More people would be happy if they could simply have Australia's ideology in their backyard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what exactly is it? Here's the latest installment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of having honour codes about female virginity or whatever other cultures have, our culture has a "my word is my bond". So if you promise to give someone $10,000 in return for some goods, they can in fact drop off the goods even if they turn up late or whatever when you're not around to hand them the cash in person. They know you'll give them the money when they turn up at some other time, or you'll send it electronically or whatever. Not only that, but even if the honour wasn't enough, it's backed up by a working court system. Not only that, but there's yet another backup that you'll wear the expense of court costs even for something not cost-justified because you'll do it for the principle. Altogether these factors make for a very good environment to do business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously there are exceptions to the rule. There are exceptions in other cultures too. Those exceptions in other cultures are called "Australians" and those are the immigrants I would most like to see turning up on our shores. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that's my bond, and I would quite literally rather be dead than cheat a stranger out of money. My mother also mentioned that she would trust me with her life's savings. I'm not the sort of guy who sends his mother flowers, but I would hope that integrity like that has value too. Note that deception is an important war strategy, so there are circumstances where I would say something like "I want Saddam's WMD" when I really mean "I want to bring about cultural changes in the Middle East as an alternative to general genocide against all Muslims and all Arabs so that hopefully we get everyone who would do a 9/11 other than Timothy McVeigh who was clearly the sole exception". Note that in that equation there is plausible deniability, which is something I expect from my government in order to win this very tough ideological war.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8375952797929195472?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8375952797929195472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8375952797929195472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-bond.html' title='My Bond'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3891715198619387028</id><published>2011-04-28T06:36:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-04-28T08:05:31.700+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Safety Mosque</title><content type='html'>Shortly after being physically intimidated by Liberal Party (right-wing - ie the ones I support!) thugs at the NSW election, I was considering switching state to one that wasn't controlled by the Liberal Party. Believe it or not, the Liberal Party was doing this to me even though I live in a (relatively poor) Labor electorate, and the Labor Party was in control in both NSW and Australia at the time. The Liberals knew they were going to win the election though, so maybe that's why they thought they could get away with physical intimidation, which appeared to me to be a criminal offence. I was completely outnumbered by their thugs so couldn't physically respond even if I wanted to, which I didn't. The Labor Party guy didn't respond to the intimidation against him either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately I had a pretty bad calculation - the Liberal Party could send their criminal thugs after me no matter where I went. They could even send them overseas, although not to somewhere like North Korea. The options for personal security that I could see were:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Live with an Aboriginal tribe (there are heaps available - they're not homogenous) and hope that 100% of them would be true to the Labor Party and not one of them would attack me for other reasons. The Aboriginal tribes also tend to live in pretty squalid conditions, so I was thinking maybe I could go to a small town and invite Aboriginal friends to join me there instead. But that would take quite a long time to take effect and has numerous impracticalities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Set up an Islamic State in the Old City of Jerusalem (about 5km * 5km area - and no yanks, I'm not going to convert that into King George's You Beaut System of Weights and Measures for you - it's your responsibility to do that conversion yourself in the same way it is my responsibility to switch to American English or suffer the wrath of the spell-checker) and barricade myself in the Al Aqsa mosque and have the Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade as my protectors. This has some obvious problems with getting set up too, but at least I would be outside all western power structures, none of which I trusted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realised that my desire to be protected by a terrorist organization might land me in even more trouble, so decided to make a bee-line to the nearest mosque. I caught a taxi and asked to be taken to the Lakemba Mosque. The taxi driver couldn't even find it. Which is ironic because it's meant to be so big that people complain about it. I thought I could make common cause with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_El-Din_Hilaly"&gt;Sheik Hilaly&lt;/a&gt; as surely he wasn't a stooge for the Australian government (although you can never be sure). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then realised Lakemba wasn't close to me anyway, and it was the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_Gallipoli_Mosque"&gt;Auburn mosque&lt;/a&gt; I was after, so asked to be taken back to that. You cannot imagine how beautiful a mosque is when you're running from a western government. It was the most beautiful sight in the world. A place of safety. I still had to get past any securitate the Australian government may have placed in my path, and asked the taxi driver to make sure I got into the mosque grounds safely. He didn't. And believe it or not, there was no obvious entrance to this place when I was desperate to get over the fence. So close but yet so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw a woman in hijab, another beautiful sight, and she directed me to the entrance. I still couldn't see any obvious sign of Muslims, and I asked her where I could be with lots of Muslims and she gave me further direction to where they were holding prayers. The only thing you need to do is take off your shoes, so I did so and went in and finally I was safe. Just to be sure, I skipped the first man in case he was a stooge. The prayer finished shortly after and everyone got up to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I panicked as I was about to lose my protection, and called out to the people to help protect me from the Australian government. I was chased outside by the imam, and most people left. A couple of people stayed with me outside the mosque and at least let me explain myself and they directed me to a particular organization at the Lakemba mosque, whose name I subsequently forgot (something like ANS). But the first thought that came to my mind when I was being kicked out was "I am in the Mu'tazilah - obviously my place is outside". "Mu'tazilah" means "Ones who are separate" in reference to the fact that they weren't welcome to congregate at the same place as everyone else back in the good old days in Basrah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with the Chinese unwilling to protect me, and the Muslims unwilling to protect me, I resigned myself to taking my chances with the Australian government. Although that led me to another 3 weeks of incarceration at their hands. But at least this time through the system the nurses took physical abuse seriously. Almost as if someone was reading my blog. It was still a real den though. Violent, frustrated inmates with no outlet. One guy in particular was saying that he was a fucking Wog and that anyone who said otherwise was a fucking liar, and at one point he said "It's all your fault" to me and made a threatening movement. I'm a lilly-white Skip so have no form of immediate protection other than my fists, but he didn't back up his threatening movement with actual punches. Interestingly, he also made threatening movements to a female member of staff (a drop-dead gorgeous Filipina) and I instinctively moved to protect her. I also attempted to protect another inmate with brain damage from a car accident by writing a letter explaining the systematic failures that were endangering him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was moved from the violent ward to a ward where there was more wheeling and dealing than I could keep track of, and finally to a ward that was half female and no real threat of violence (just the incredible boredom - but by this time I had finally got substantial amounts of leave).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moral of the story? Deep analysis needs to continue. We shouldn't have any such thing as Liberal Party Thugs. Those guys spruiking for the Liberal Party (actually, via plausible deniability they were all supposedly spruiking for a supposed independent - who had conveniently swapped preferences with the Liberal Party) should have instead internalized freedom of speech to the point that they - like me - would go out of their way to protect someone who was being intimidated. The Labor Party supporter was actually a South Korean with an accent and the presumably-native (but ethnic Arab) Liberal Party thugs were teasing his accent whenever he spoke. I told the South Korean that he had a beautiful accent (the only accents I don't really like are New Zealand and some American ones). Anyway, I consider the Iraq/Libyan wars to be abstractions of the thuggery we see within Australia (someone bashing you to steal your wallet). And I am currently working on a pad that is designed to abstract even the Libyan war so that I don't have to listen to specious arguments about "British imperialism".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-3891715198619387028?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3891715198619387028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3891715198619387028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/04/safety-mosque.html' title='Safety Mosque'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4130915612832893487</id><published>2011-04-24T13:09:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-04-24T13:27:51.886+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Death Toll</title><content type='html'>I have kindred spirits in war, and &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/misurata-body-says-it-has-asked-for-foreign-troops/2011/04/19/AFH6sJ6D_story.html"&gt;Nouri Abdullah Abdulati&lt;/a&gt; is one of my Libyan counterparts. Here's what he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Even if 400,000 people die and only 100,000 live, this is a victory"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He hasn't said whether that was his limit or not though. I've usually claimed that I'd rather see 90% of Australians wiped out than have to start handing over "comfort women" to invading Japanese. And same equation if we had an equally brutal dictator to start with (which is the Libyan situation now where he's willing to sacrifice 80% of the population for victory).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it is figures like this that show how damned cheap the Iraq war was. Even the insurgency that followed is nothing. The natural population growth far exceeds what the terrorists are managing to wipe out. So for someone who thinks the same way as Nouri and I, it's a puzzling question to even ask. Victory is clear as day - the institutions changed the way I wanted them to change, and the surviving population is high enough that we can rebuild to the original population if that was a concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, there were x number of people irrevocably killed in the process. That's the nature of war, and why if there is evidence that there is an imminent peaceful solution available (and explanation as to why the peaceful solution has been ignored for the last 5000 years), then peace is the way to go. Otherwise, the time has come to change the institutions by all necessary means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trouble is that not everyone thinks the same way as Nouri and I. The opposing way of thinking is that every life is precious, and living under state slavery is no big deal anyway - just part of human development. So as soon as the first non-combatant dies, that's it, time to fold. Whereas to me, that's a recipe for disaster. Specifically a recipe for being ruled by the nastiest Nazi regime you can imagine. I would suggest that the problem here is that people are unable or unwilling to derive the Nazi consequences of "peace under a dictator like Saddam".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4130915612832893487?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4130915612832893487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4130915612832893487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/04/death-toll.html' title='Death Toll'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4083902665023256885</id><published>2011-04-17T08:34:00.002+10:00</published><updated>2011-04-17T09:47:50.355+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Quran First</title><content type='html'>Quite a lot has been happening. But probably the most important is the Mu'tazilite doctrine of putting the brain first, and how this can be reconciled with other sects that put the Quran first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When faced with danger, we are designed to react without hesitation. He who hesitates ends up as a Saber Tooth Tiger snack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Mohammed could see is that war required using the brain, which meant a pause was required before going to war. The recital of the Quran is basically music designed to calm men down, let them sleep on the problem, and declare war the next day. So that is why the Quran must come first - play some calming music first. E.g. Kate Bush's "Strange Phenomenon". After all, we've had 1400 years of music development since people first started rocking to the Quran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll incorporate this into the "reformed Islam" at www.mutazilah.org. Another thing I'll be adding is the dowry system. Nature's intention there is that a man doesn't just marry a woman. He also marries her mother and he has an obligation to ensure that she is adequately protected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another theory I've been working on is to do with intermarriage. We already know that to avoid war, princesses were married off to foreign countries. But what Mohammed would have seen is the need to intermarry with the "sun people" and the "moon people" and the "star people" and the "planet people". This is a reason to have more than one wife. Or at least, it may be if we ever make contact with people from exoplanets. The obvious problem being that people from exoplanets are unlikely to be people. And Mohammed may have categorized all stars as being owned by the same people since they all looked the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet another theory is that we are genetically prescribed to respond to the beating of war drums. I have noticed that I have a similar reaction to jet engines. I have a sense of foreboding and it is difficult to ignore them instead of rushing outside to see if they are friend or foe. I also have a theory that we have a natural need for war, and we are very lucky that we have video games to release that desire instead of releasing it on real people. People who talk of banning violent video games have it the wrong way around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also another theory is to do with names. To relate concepts there is a need to use an already-known word. So e.g. I can use the phrase "liberal fascists" to describe the Liberal Party thugs who were physically intimidating me at the NSW election. Even though in Australia the Liberal Party is the right-wing one which I ideologically support! Talk about worldview-shattering. Here was I thinking we had political freedom in Australia and the right-wing were the main champions of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm still mulling over these things, as they need to be expressed in a coherent manner, so blog updates will likely be infrequent.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4083902665023256885?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4083902665023256885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4083902665023256885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/04/quran-first.html' title='Quran First'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-5658423141437600948</id><published>2011-03-26T14:52:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-26T15:02:57.427+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Help Australian Diggers and Libyan Rebels</title><content type='html'>Hello world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have limited time and limited knowledge of how the Australian media works. I was at the Lidcombe, NSW polling station today with a protest sign asking for Australian ground troops to be sent to Libya etc. The words I actually spoke into the camera were something like "The Australian diggers (soldiers) are being sacrificed to Political Correctness by Julia Gillard. I have written to her to instead say that they should be sacrificed to protect the Libyan people instead". I asked the guy what station he was from and he said it was a "pool tape". If you live anywhere in the world and you think that this bit of tape would be useful to your cause, please find out how the Australian media works, to see if that pool tape can make it to a TV station that is going to help you.

Note that this was a NSW State election, but the isssue I was raising was an Australian or indeed international issue, so they may not think it is suitable for broadcast.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5658423141437600948?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5658423141437600948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5658423141437600948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/help-australian-diggers-and-libyan.html' title='Help Australian Diggers and Libyan Rebels'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4626491470927424972</id><published>2011-03-26T07:23:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-26T08:34:54.510+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Political Correctness Gone Mad</title><content type='html'>NSW voters go to the polls today. I was requested specifically by an Aboriginal to do him a favour and vote Liberal. It is ironic - he did that when I offered to vote Labor for his assistance on something else that was important to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the conversation, with names masked. I'm a really smart guy, so I normally vote Liberal. He's a coon, so normally votes Labor, too stupid to realise that he's being cynically exploited at the altar of revolutionary socialism. God knows what happened this time - struck by a lighting bolt of reality or something - but nevermind, let's be grateful for small mercies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my suggestion is to make this NSW election a referendum on political correctness. If you think that it is appropriate to sacrifice brave Australian diggers to the altar of Political Correctness - that's right, the same guys who are putting up with incredible hardship, for mediocre pay, risking their lives so that you and I can sleep easy at night and also so that never again will we witness the horror of women being beaten with sticks by some fucking rag-head, and be unable to do a damned thing to stop it - even though we have the entire fucking forces of freedom at our disposal - vote Labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think that every single one of those presumed skips deserves a fucking medal for every fucking day of service ever - vote Liberal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all you Labor voters - go fuck yourself in advance. You are a disgrace to humanity. David Cameron of the UK, please arrange for a coalition, or do it alone with the British SAS if required, and fuck the fucking UN, and protect the Libyan people immediately with ground forces. You can see from the below that I have a special relationship with the people of Libya. That special relationship is that they are fellow freedom-fighters unlike sick fucks like Che Guevara who sought to and continues to enslave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;king_coon (25/02/2011 10:31:19 AM): Do you support Gaddafi?&lt;br /&gt;really_smart_guy (25/02/2011 10:31:25 AM): have 3 guesses&lt;br /&gt;really_smart_guy (25/02/2011 10:31:36 AM): actually, i'll give you 10, since i know you're a Labor supporter&lt;br /&gt;king_coon (25/02/2011 10:32:49 AM): No&lt;br /&gt;really_smart_guy (25/02/2011 10:32:50 AM): wow -

That's right. Australian soldiers who freely volunteered to spill their blood so that Afghans could be free, are being accused of racism. I mean. If that isn't the "fuck me dead" article of the fucking year, then what is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First a bit of background. As most of you probably know, most nations like to have their own identity. So sheep-fuckers like the Kiwis will tell Australian jokes like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Why wasn't Jesus Christ born in Australia?&lt;br /&gt;A. Because God couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to let us know that they're an independent nation state, and are in no way related to Australians. Thank God for that too I might add. Have you ever heard their accents? Sux hundred and suxty-sux sheep and all? Even the American accent "I'm going to Mel-born today" has got to be better than that. But I digress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be aware that the stupid Canucks hate being called American for the same reason. Yeah, that's understandable. So how do these fragile-egoed morons conduct themselves? By voting for the opposite of what America does, without question. Which means that 99.99999% of the time they have to adopt an immoral position just to prove that they are independent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Australia does it a different way. We &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/australian-sas-killer-rabbit.html"&gt;belittle&lt;/a&gt; the yanks, and swear at/call them a word they don't really like (yanks), to let them know that we don't consider ourselves to be under them in any way at all, and if we come to the exact same conclusion as them 99.99999% of the time it's because they're fucking right most of the fucking time. What else can we do? So we denigrade them in public, while in private we &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/terrorists-make-my-day.html"&gt;would quite literally take a nuke for them&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Chinese guy asked me this question today (excuse the English - what else do you expect from a FUCKING CHICOM?):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O. I have never dab a vedio before, which must be interesting, and I have &lt;br /&gt;one question for you.&lt;br /&gt;How to address the white people here in Australia? I thought it would be &lt;br /&gt;unpolite  to call them white people.&lt;br /&gt;But do you have an antonym of " aboriginal peoople", or some other academic &lt;br /&gt;words to refer to this group of people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is my reply ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I call them "skips".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"skips" is nominally a derogatory word, which is why I love to use it.  :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As in "this fucking skip ..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like I would refer to you as a "fucking chicom".  :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comprende comrade?  :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, if you bother to get to know any of those diggers who are up for summary execution, you will find that not one of them is a racist. My one aboriginal contact assures me he's never met one genuinely racist Australian in his life. I certainly haven't. Not a skip, anyway. Not unless you count anti-white whites. Every time I point this fact out to a skip, the skip often responds with "well I'm not racist but I know xyz who is". I've always been interested to meet "xyz" as I think as a white I'd be fucking scared of xyz myself, and I bet he's just a bastard in general, or far more likely the charge is false. I've been an endless victim at the hands of fucking skips, and it's not because I'm a skip myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, all these constant attacks on innocent skips means that real racism is never being addressed. And that hurts non-whites far more than whites, as it's the non-whites who inevitably end up in jail due to racist attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that in the comments section of this blog, I often get charged (by anti-white whites) with racism, despite the fact that if you bother to read my blog I spend a ridiculous amount of time attempting to protect the human rights of rag-heads. In fact, just today I referred to (certain - racist) Libyans as rag-heads, to another rag-head. I was in a hurry so didn't notice if he understood it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there's an easy solution to this problem. I will contact a variety of wogs, rag-heads, coons, curry-munchers, yanks, poms etc that I have known me for several years, and get them to say in their own words whether they think I am a racist or not, after reading this post. I will ask them to read this post before commenting and they can answer in their own words whether I have treated them as wogs, rag-heads etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Houston, we have a problem. Brave diggers who have sworn an oath to protect civilians physically, are running afoul of civilian laws that seek to prosecute them for their freedom of speech and NON-racism. I will be asking my Afghan (ie in Afghanistan) friend to defend their honour, since the sick nasty fascists who run this police state will not stand up for them by implementing a Bill of Rights or somesuch. So it falls on civilians like me to think of something to protect our diggers from civilians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me think guys. Hey, you could help yourselves by helping me spread this message perhaps?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-1854196300175988371?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1854196300175988371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1854196300175988371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/understanding-australians.html' title='Understanding Australians'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1983585837481517935</id><published>2011-03-24T22:24:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-24T22:31:44.518+11:00</updated><title type='text'>China – please help Western civilians</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=211927425491399&amp;comments"&gt;Video Address&lt;/a&gt; to Hu Jintao, President of China&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Hu Jintao!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On February 28th 2011 I attempted to defect to China by going into the Chinese Consulate in Sydney. It seems that the head of the Chinese Consulate must be an Australian spy, because he didn't even interview me to find out what I had. He instead immediately rang up the Australian Federal Police and I was forced to leave Chinese territory without seeing a single Chinese person in authority. I recommend you arrest him on espionage charges. The compliant Australian press obviously covered up the whole incident too. Would you like to know what happened to me after that? I was incarcerated for nearly 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fascist Australian regime is extremely insidious. Whenever they find someone trying to upset the status quo, such as Pauline Hanson, they find some way to lock them up. In Pauline's case she ended up in jail as a political prisoner to teach her a lesson. But she was high profile. What they do for ordinary citizens such as myself is far worse. They simply declare them “mentally ill” and some quack uses pseudo-science and acts as judge, jury and executioner. Even if you exercise your supposed right of appeal, they use compliant appeal judges who ignore the written law and rule in favour of the doctors every time. They incarcerate you with criminals and psychopaths and quite openly threaten to electrocute you if you refuse to renounce your views. This was the third time I was incarcerated in such a manner. Oh yeah, they make sure the psychopaths are frustrated as well, by not giving them any reasonable entertainment and no chance to have leave. When the psychopaths start attacking people they just say "please don't do that" as if assault is a trivial matter. And that's not all. They will sometimes force you into an ambulance and then force you to pay for the ambulance. For freedom-loving people like me, I would quite literally rather be shot and pay for the bullet, as at least that is a quick death instead of torture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media – almost all of it – is complicit in all this. There is an understanding that so long as they get to peddle their revolutionary socialism, they won't ask the truly tough questions. They set the agenda of what's important or not. Iraqi men having their tongues cut out by their own government? Unimportant. Global warming? Important. The church too is fully compliant in all of this, forever issuing its support of "peace" - even institutionalized rape is considered to be peaceful in their dictionary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is ironic that Australia is lurching towards socialist dictatorship at the same time that China is well on the road to what actually works – secular capitalist liberal democracy. You are doing everything right – educating the population on proper economics before allowing them to vote. That's how the Western world progressed and how Taiwan did as well. Education always came first. You can look around the world and see the true horror that results when uneducated people vote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I have completely lost faith in all the institutions in Australia, for reasons outlined on my blog (www.antisubjugator.blogspot.com) can I please ask your urgent help in the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I would like both you and Russia to be "external auditors" of Australia to investigate all the issues I have raised, and do a post-mortem of how a once-proud country devolved into a socialist nightmare - and put in place checks and balances that will ensure this never happens again. I actually wore this headband on the train to work this morning in the hope that some Chinese students would make contact with me so that I could ask their help to have Australia's democracy restored. Unfortunately no-one spoke to me today - possibly because I looked like a crazy old man or something. I must admit I was scared to do that in public, but I figured that if the Libyan people were brave enough to face automatic weapons, I could be brave enough to face my fears of mere public ridicule/low-level violence. I didn't wear it on the way home because I feared my fascist regime would use that as an excuse to lock me up and prevent me from getting this message out - and that was more important to me at that time. Or worse. They deliberately put in artificial speed limits to disrupt natural traffic flow to increase the number of Australians who die on the road. This then allows them to hide political killings in the resulting massive death toll. Similar to how mandating artificially low pricing disrupts a capitalist economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. It is not just Australia that needs auditting. I have an American friend who has (real) nightmares that the American military is on the streets. She can instinctively see that the checks and balances that would ensure her physical security are not in place, and that if the worst comes to the worst, no-one will come to her rescue as no-one can get past America's nukes. I want to work with you to ensure there is a "world security" system in place that will ensure that my American friend no longer needs to live in fear of a military coup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. In the same way that you sent your troops to help restore democracy in Haiti – for which I sincerely thank you – could you please now send your ground troops to Libya to protect the &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12837859"&gt;Libyan people&lt;/a&gt;? I would suggest a coalition is appropriate – perhaps with the Serbs as trustworthy allies. A coalition makes it less scary for the population being protected as its not down to just one country who decides things. I could obviously ask the Australian government to do that, and indeed I have, and I would trust them to do the right thing internationally. But I know that the socialists now in power are going to ignore me the same way they ignored Saddam's rape rooms. Please do not wait for UN approval. The UN is merely a cover to preserve the status quo on a quid pro quo basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I have documented something called "message 666" which contains an encapsulation of Australian culture that allows us to still have a civil society despite the current fascist regime. If you're interested, please let me know.

I had expected that the brave Libyan rebels could win the day purely by the addition of western air power. I was expecting a repeat of Afghanistan 2001. Unfortunately I was wrong. I want to correct my mistake as soon as possible and not have any more deaths on my conscience from encouraging the rebels to rise up and ask for air support if it is ultimately futile and ends with Gaddafi seeking a truly terrible revenge. I am sure you feel the same way, because you, like me, are a true blue Australian. The Rats of Tobruk are not just legend, but our blood bond. We are the true Defenders of the Free World, of which Libya is now about to be an eternal member of, and I'm sure they will defend freedom to the last drop of their blood too. You will not turn your back on our Libyan allies. You would rather die than see them fail, as would I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither of us wanted to live in a world where a cruel dictator like Gaddafi can enslave a population for 42 years. But Australians are cunning. We didn't give our hand away. At a personal level we let everyone know that we wanted to be their friend, for we are truly a friendly people, as anyone who has ever actually met and talked in depth to an Australian can attest to. We were also spared the "imperialist" charge that hit the US and the UK as part of the Soviet psyops. For we are an ex-colony nation ourselves. We failed to shake off our colonial rulers at the Eureka stockade, but we eventually succeeded when the colonial ruler became decent enough to let the free-spirited Australians go free. After all, there is a saying - if you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours. If it doesn't, it never was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may or may not be aware that the Australian SAS were sent into Iraq to win the entire war, to reduce the number of American nancy-boys who got hurt. The yanks turned up to air bases with a stunned look on their face wondering where all the Saddam loyalists had gone. They had already been dealt with by the Australian SAS who had won the entire war while the yanks were still complaining about their MREs not containing enough cookies. Of course, since we are a magnamious people, we let the yanks take all the credit for what our boys did, but facts are facts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the disorganized nature of the Libyan resistance, they need the Australian SAS "killer rabbit" punch to be applied again. Please immediately send the Australian SAS into action in the sands of Libya. Do NOT, repeat NOT wait for UN authorization, as this is a matter of life-or-death and the UN is a talkfest specifically set up to preserve the horrific status quo. Also, do not worry about the fact that x% of Libyans will lie and call this an occupation force. Most Libyans are decent people and I consider them to be honorary Australians. Just as brave. Just as beautiful. These people are our natural allies. Also, our troops - same as in Iraq - should be in and out in a matter of days. We are the true Ninjas of the 21st century. Unseen. Unheard. There will be no chance of them being called occupation forces. By the time anyone even realises that Gaddafi's head is now on a pike, they'll be gone. And just like with the yanks in Iraq, the Australian SAS will take zero credit for its participation in the war, and the Libyan rebels will have their day in the sun, as they are the only force that is seen charging into Tripoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had an interesting conversation with my pommy grandfather once. I asked him what Australian soldiers were like. He said that they could be problematic if they didn't have the right man in charge of them, as they were too individualistic, and when you're relying on someone to do a job, that is unacceptable. I asked him who the right man was to put in charge of them. His reply was "Someone who was as good as them - or better! Put someone like that in charge of them and they'll follow him to Hell and back". Julia, in today's world, that man is you. I saw that Wilkie slimebag call you a satrep when you had the guts to stick up for our seppo mates the other day. Fuck him, Julia. Do not let slimebag socialist traitors dictate your actions just because they have near-total control of the media. You can be sure I didn't clap him when I saw him at Sydney's townhall meeting the other day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not let me down, Julia. I know you ignored my previous letters because you knew our independent ground forces would be needed at this point in world history, and reluctantly held back our aircraft while saying the right words. Thankyou for that Julia. Thankyou so much. I will even vote for you at the next elections because you held our forces back so that they could be sent in now. I look forward to seeing tomorrow's news, Julia, I truly do. Godspeed Australian soldiers. Godspeed the finest fighting men that this Earth has ever unleashed. I love you all (in a non-sexual way - since the Australian military is not and will never be a place for social experiments unlike certain pussy militaries that shall remain nameless to avoid any further embarassment).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5267098415014802764?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5267098415014802764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5267098415014802764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/australian-sas-killer-rabbit.html' title='Australian SAS - the Killer Rabbit'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8240780963462701049</id><published>2011-03-23T19:38:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-23T20:10:36.572+11:00</updated><title type='text'>non-NATO triumvirate</title><content type='html'>America, humble and honorable as ever, has made its intentions clear that it wishes to reduce its role in the freeing of Libya. The obvious candidate to be taking the lead is France, after its own honorable and brave response to the Libyan revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Turkey has vetoed NATO's ability to operate, so we need a way to manage ad-hoc coalitions of liberators. Note that my own country, Australia, currently has the immoral left-wing in power, thanks to the bribing of some right-wing independents (it's as bad as the fucking curry-munchers come to think of it), so my country is not contributing anything except excuses for non-participation. NATO is an interesting beast. Every country has the power of veto, which severely limits its ability to take aggressive action, which is in some ways an advantage for a defensive alliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, medium-term for NATO command - in an environment with no real threat - and also medium-term for adhoc coalitions, I think it would be good to have a triumvirate of the following actors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Serbia - this is a liberal democracy, which means it should be welcome into the western security fold, and at the same time is comprised of Slavs, which are the only race that the Russian Slavs trust. Note that it is human nature to be racist, and acknowledging Russians as natural animals that need to be carefully integrated into the free world, on terms that they understand, is not a bad thing. Nearly surrounded by NATO members already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Iraq - another liberal democracy, and provides some Arab muscle. Note that Arabs are, and have previously been, part of adhoc coalitions. Iraq may not be fully trained to NATO standards, but at least an attempt has been made. Regardless, American troops under Iraqi command is a fitting state of affairs. If Russian troops can be under American command in the past, then so too can Americans come under the Iraqis. Borders a founding NATO member currently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Australia - formerly known as "defender of the free world", currently known as an "also ran". A country that fortunately escaped the anti-UK/anti-US attacks, and tends to be everyone's friend (deservedly or not). Australian Aborigines have deep cultural and spiritual ties to the North Atlantic, and I note that their self-annointed revolutionary socialist "representatives" have so far graciously declined to exercise their right to exclusive maritime rights over the North Atlantic. If such magnamity doesn't get control of NATO, nothing will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that I personally have contacts in each of those 3 categories, so if you need a triumvirate in a hurry, I'm your man!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8240780963462701049?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8240780963462701049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8240780963462701049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/non-nato-triumvirate.html' title='non-NATO triumvirate'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-7197830662369412792</id><published>2011-03-22T21:52:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T21:58:32.729+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Message to Tripoli Residents</title><content type='html'>I have made a &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=211392125544929&amp;comments"&gt;video address&lt;/a&gt; to the residents of Tripoli. Transcript below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Libya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my second message to the Libyan people, and I've decided to leave the dry humour out of this one since people misunderstood it, and freedom is too precious to fool around with. This message is to the people of Tripoli only. If you're from Benghazi, heygumsingla, ok bye-bye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe God speaks to us constantly via ordinary people, if only we pay attention and think about it. An ordinary person in the Anonymous group spoke to the group #oplibya yesterday and said this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a joke circulating amongst Tripoli's men: "When Libya is liberated, our brothers in Benghazi will march to the capital with containers of women's underwear to distribute to us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion this is a truly cruel joke, and is told by people who have little understanding of the Laws of Physics. Short story is that you cannot beat a modern military that has automatic weapons in the hands of men who are willing to use them. More info is available on www.mutazilah.org in my “dummies guide to warfare”. Short story is that these successful revolutions you see are largely military coups. Note that even 3 days of bombing by an ALLIANCE of 3 world superpowers is not enough to beat Gaddafi. You never had any chance at all. The Iranians have balls of steel too, but every time they try to stage a revolution they get mowed down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beating a loyal military can only be done with combined arms of a superior military. Currently, allied forces are attempting to do this purely from the air, due to artificial constraints. They may not succeed this way, it hasn't been proven yet. Normally you at least need special forces as was done in Afghanistan in 2001. Nobody is doing this because of a different problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problems in today's world are not caused by a lack of men with steel balls. The problems are caused by a lack of both men and women with POLITICAL bravery. Western militaries are all full of brave men with balls of steel too. The trouble is that they are apolitical and will not act without civilian permission. Civilians are not scared of conscription – there's no need for that in the modern world – they are scared of nasty words from nasty commies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Canucks have devolved to the point where they instinctively do the opposite of whatever America does, because they're shit-scared of words like “America's slave”. The yanks are too silly to see that they just need to laugh at the Canucks and say “commies' slave” to even up the competition. Too silly or too nice, whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And whites everywhere are too scared to hear words like “imperialist” and “colonialist” and “white supremacist” that the gutless wonders prefer to sit and watch Iraqi men having their tongues cut out rather than taking action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may have noticed that the Americans are trying to get out of the lead role in the current air war. They don't want to be seen as the leaders – even though they are the most competent to lead. This is part of the attempt to escape from these nasty words. Ideally someone like the Philippines would be in charge of this operation. No-one ever calls them oil-hungry imperialists, and they are the one country in the entire world that isn't full of anti-white racists. They're also the country that started off the democratic revolutions 25 years ago. Remember the “laban”? “jihad”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm from Australia (see, here is the Australian flag, although it may be replaced by the Eureka flag depending on the results of a referendum that my fascist police state is unwilling to hold). Australia is probably the only country in the world whose “military day” celebrates a military DEFEAT. And the only time I've ever known an Australian sporting team to be booed off the field by Australians was after they WON a game of cricket. Decent Australians are more loyal to the concept of a “fair go” than nationalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not have a “fair go” if stupid arseholes are telling you to throw your life away against a modern military. As per a recent blog from me (see www.antisubjugator.blogspot.com), you should stay indoors and wait until professional military forces have finished the battle. Only THEN should you come out, and you should show your POLITICAL bravery. To show that, you should thank both the local and foreign forces, and more important than that, you should LEAD the charge of the free world to go and free more people who are in the same position you are in now. The Iranians are a perfect example. There are both western security (“Death to USA”) and humanist reasons (Iranian women being raped by their own government) to liberate Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To show your political bravery, I ask the interim government in Tripoli to unilaterally declare war on Iran as soon as you are free to do so. Don't worry about the military side of things – you have friends in high places. Please do this by May 21st, as I have been reliably informed (by www.familyradio.com) that this is Judgement Day, and if you have not done this by then, I will indeed arrange for women's underwear to be shipped to your government. I'll try to negotiate USED underwear from a Filipina so that whoever in government receives it will be physically unable to throw it away (so long as they are male) while its very existence will be a constant reminder of the shame that you were a bunch of cowards scared of nasty words from the commies/jihadists such as “selling yourself” or “American lackey” or “collaborators” or whatever nasty words they can think of to ensure that Iranians and others remain enslaved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, if you waste your time on intractable problems like the Russian occupation of Georgian territory as an excuse for inaction on solvable problems such as the liberation of Iran, the triumvirate Mu'tazilite Caliphate will see right through that ruse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I'm much better at writing than talking, so that is why I need to script things. The message is the same regardless.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-7197830662369412792?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7197830662369412792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7197830662369412792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/message-to-tripoli-residents.html' title='Message to Tripoli Residents'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2113683502284623443</id><published>2011-03-21T15:25:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T15:45:10.150+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Tripoli Flyer</title><content type='html'>Anonymous asked a question "what should be written on flyers dropped to the residents of Tripoli?". Here's the sort of thing on my mind:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Residents of Tripoli,&lt;br /&gt;You will soon be free. War is something that is best left to professional soldiers who have sworn an oath to protect civilians. You are not required to protect them. They will protect you. Please stay indoors instead of believing that you can do anything useful against automatic weapons. We need you to be alive AFTER the liberation. AFTER you are liberated, we need to see you on the streets in force, with flowers so that those brave soldiers know their comrades didn't die for nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AFTER liberation please make contact with the international allies like Anonymous who did everything they could think of to ensure your freedom. Mainly Anonymous made the political case so that the politicians were pressured. Please make the effort to use your freedom and your English-language skills to go into any chat room anywhere and just talk to anyone at all in the West and ASK them for their opinion on the Libyan war. You don't need to thank the international community, but please JUDGE FOR YOURSELF the attitude of westerners. We don't need to tell you who in particular to contact - contact anyone at all in the West. The more the better, so you can do a "straw poll" of foreigners. I am quite certain that if you do that, you will be allies and friends forever. You may wish to join NATO or the European Union too. I think it's about time those organizations and some new blood in them (the Eastern Europeans were very nice too).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Above all, if you allow those who provided what assistance they could to make any request at all, it would be to help other people who have no-one assisting them. People like the Iranians. Please look around and choose a good target that will not be harmful to the cause of freedom. Don't waste time beating dead horses. "Fuck the (insert lefty cause), what about me?" as the Iranians are probably thinking right now if they had freedom of speech to tell us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a desire to fight, now that you have the ability to fight, join the Libyan military so that it is organized. No more pointless blood needs to be spilt by having you charge automatic weapons. Structured security forces are the way to go. Make sure your armed forces are called "Libyan Liberation Force" instead of "Libyan Defence Force" and ensure that anyone who signs up to the new security forces has to sign a clause that says "I understand that there is little for a military to do within a democracy, and that I fully agree to joining overseas liberation efforts that the civilians think would be worthwhile - I am willing to spill my blood for the freedom of complete strangers - regardless of race, religion, sex or nationality".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm, maybe a bit long for a flyer? Fine, fine.

A continuation of &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/fascist-australia-part-2.html"&gt;Part 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1/3 - Asked for a stereo to listen to the radio - could do so in the Activities room. Actually, earlier in the morning met a guy very difficult to understand who said he thought he was the reincarnation of Buddah. Quite difficult to understand. He wanted me to squeeze his hand as tight as I could. Also he asked for a hug (which I did). Not sure what that was about. Met a guy supposedly from Iraq. I thought he was an Aboriginal. Sam was screaming for a cigarette and I suggested a Nicorette Inhaler. The "Iraqi" (Christian/Chris) showed me what the real Australian flag should be - the Eureka flag from Ballarat. I took this drawing. An external contact finally came good and I was able to get my mobile phone back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met doctor. Can't remember what the conversation was about, but I do remember being scared that anything I said may be used against me and I had no lawyer. And these are pseudo-science quacks we're talking about too. How fucking dangerous is that? Australia part of the free world? Hah! Did you know they can electrocute you against your will too? Judge, jury and quite literally sometimes executioner. Hope it doesn't happen to one of your loved ones. These people don't even attempt to out-debate you with logic. Electrocution? Sure, man. That opinion is just too fucking whacky and I can't think of a way around it. They euphamistically call this dangerous environment with violent psychopaths (some with criminal records) a "treatment centre" instead of "incarceration centre" and they euphemistically call us patients instead of inmates. I actually have (semi-forced) health insurance, but it doesn't give me the right to solitary confinement with a fucking MP3 player (I hate ads so can't stand radio too much). And I'm a 185cm tall, 95kg male. If you can see how scared I was - and then realise they even put females into this dangerous environment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was being fed misinformation by the patients as to where my suburb was actually located. One said it was in the Blue Mountains. I asked for a street directory so that I could ensure reality was how I remembered it. The thing about computer simulations is that reality can change, and if you get it wrong, you can be electrocuted by the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also asked for the white/yellow pages so that I could find the damned school. Good Samaritan college was not where I was expecting it to be. Had I been transported. Only later did I find out where I got "good samaritan" from. I kept insisting that I wouldn't have crossed the street if I hadn't seen that sign which at least allowed me to test the theory of benevolence if nothing else. Of course none of the doctors had any interest in assisting me to get this information I needed. All this "care" is all a farce. They're just after a paycheck basically. Which I wouldn't mind if the bastards had an incentive to release me rather than claiming overtime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people seriously jeapordized my continued employment too. They don't give a shit about my wellbeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to the cigarette, Brendan "informed" me that not all smokers were nicotine junkies. Funny though. I soon saw lots of people using the inhaler. Maybe there is a silver lining to this cloud after all - it's a forced introduction to the inhaler. I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another inmate was an Aboriginal woman who came from Coorparoo, Brisbane, neare where my grandmother used to live. In fact, I was wondering whether she WAS my grandmother in disguise. With a computer simulation, anything is possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One "amusing" thing is that despite years of mulling over how I could survive in a hell-hole like this again, I ended up with no way of escaping into my musical or computing world, and even lost mobile phone access. Eventually an ipod gave me a chance of escape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another "amusing" thing is that a frustrated inmate was talking angrily to a nurse and turned to me and asked if he was being reasonable just "aggressively defending his position". I said "no, it is not appropriate". When there's a genuine threat of violence, and you're chewing out someone who has no say over what the rules are, it's very inappropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2/3 - Met a new guy - Michael - who asked a lot of strange questions. But those questions teased out some useful info. E.g. what drives me? Human suffering! And Brendan came up with a theory - "Jews provided law, Christians forgiveness and Muslims discipline". He also berated me for calling myself a Muslim. No doctor came to see me today despite a printed form (which they hadn't given me - I had to ask for it) saying I was entitled to AT LEAST ONE visit every 24 hours, not "maximum of one". I started the process of getting someone arrested and jailed for breaking the very clear law in black and white. I started by reporting the problem to the nurse and ringing the Mental Health Advocacy Service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3/3 - My human rights continued to be violated today. Australian law also continued to be violated as no doctor saw me so I wasn't even in with a chance to escape this prison. There should be some "failsafe" procedure where if the doctors are understaffed, prisoners should be set free, given that Australian law apparently isn't worth the paper it's written on when the Australian government refuses to obey their own fucking laws. This is a repeat of where it says that I have freedom of religion but in practice I don't. And the courts just laugh when I attempt to show them that I have every right to express a religious opinion (even if I express one as a test of the system more than anything else). It is for reasons such as this that I attempted to escape to China because I cannot tell just how corrupt the system is. Also there were some near-violent situations today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I did end up seeing a doctor after all, but still no leave. Trumped-up charges appear to be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Police at Rosebank College said I was confused/distracted or something (admittedly I had made up an obviously bullshit story about Libyan oil).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. At initial interview I had disorganized thought and an elevated mood. Hell, if they had told me they were going to lock me up I would have dropped the elevated mood thing, and disorganized thought just needs me to shut up - I hadn't been read my Miranda rights after all - admittedly that is possibly because I don't live in America).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. I admitted to having reduced hours of sleep (self-incriminating there - and it was only a vague statement anyway - shit, what fucking hell-hole did this fucking country fall out of?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4/3 - A major win today as I got a working ipod, although not with my own music loaded. More interestingly, I was entitled to a lawyer. I was all set to present the 24 hr no-show as a violation of the law plus I saw the 3-day limit on incarceration. Then I found out the fine print! That was "mentally disordered". I have been diagnosed as "mentally ill" which apparently means they can lock me up and throw away the key. I'm sure there's a great way for Rowan Atkinson to turn this into a comdey, but the only thing I can think of is that I wish I had a book called "Dummies Guide to being Mentally Disordered". Also today I "smuggled" in some lollies having learnt that the fast track to popularity in cubs/scouts, and handed some of them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, found out that "disordered" is for people who are drunk etc. They need the effects worn off so that they can be diagnosed as "ill". So all those rules go out the window and I don't need to see a doctor. But also this means I become a victim of another rule. I have been authorized to go to another ward where I am allowed leave (a precious commodity) but the other ward is full. It is grossly unfair that my freedom should be dependent on someone in the other ward dying. Damn, where's a sniper rifle when you need one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4/3 - Nothing special today. There were some conflicts that went to physical violence in one case though. Everyone is extremely pissed off at being incarcerated. Now armed with an ipod so I can shut much of this out. They are real bastards exposing me to this danger though. It is a cruel joke that they like to claim they are helping me. These people are little Gaddafis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5/3 - I hope to get let out soon so that I can make the 9/3 "appointment" some time betwen 8am - 12 noon at Sydney University. Ironically, at the previous meeting with the old guy, I wrote down that I was in danger. But there was never any danger from the Feds/ASIO - but there is the ever-present danger from other frustrated inmates here. I'm just hoping I can make the distance here so tht I can escape to relative security outside rather than having the government forcing me to live in a dangerous environment hoping that someone else will do their dirty work for them. At least now that I have a charger for my ipod I shold be able to keep my cocoon for that time. Someone brought some cards so I played one hand of "two-handed solitaire". News shows that the Libyan result is still uncertain. Need NATO air cover!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6/3 - A glimmer of hope as I got transferred to a different section of the ward (that allows leave). Unfortunately the violent confrontations continue. One incident where some guy gave me the middle finger because I didn't give him my ipod. Another one kicked a bin. I believe that both attackers are smaller than me and I can beat them if push comes to shove. However, I am not the sort of person who underestimates his enemy, and act as if he has as weapons resembling a nuclear bomb up his sleeve. I'll probably need to speak to the doctor/nurse about this in case I am blamed for fighting. Fortunately I can lock myself in my room to minimize possibility of violence from strangers. However, I ended up talking to others instead, about Iraq war etc. One guy - Hugh - even rang up his dad and asked him to read my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got leave and released soon after this so stopped trying to emulate Ann Franks. Speaking of sexy women, I guess the whole thing was worth it just to see the sexy nurse called Esther who I think was from the Philippines and I probably should have chatted her up with all my knowledge of "laban" etc. She gave me a printout that proved that no-one was reading my blog, and she confirmed that she was a non-reader, so this comment should be safe! I also know a smattering of Hindi that is enough to impress the Indian babes. I've got passing knowledge of English too, but I don't seem to get on well with white chicks. Not that I'm a racist or anything. Maybe they are?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Question posed by Michael:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q. Would you commit yourself to a lifetime of slavery in exchange for world freedom?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. No. Death yes. Unlimited torture - no. (Sorry guys, I'm not claiming to be perfect).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reconcile why my life is more important than the entire world. Perhaps because of the need to ever have to make such a terrible choice in the first place is why I so desperately want to liberate everyone now, while we have the opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider torture to be far worse than death. If there was some agreement that I gave up my freedom termporarily and that the free world would soon arrive and rescue me, then that would be acceptable. I can't see any evidence of such a pact in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am willing to take a SMALL percentage RISK of ending up in slavery. E.g. an American soldier being captured by Iraqi insurgents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at some level I consider my own rights to be worth more than all the suffering in the world. I am willing to devote ALL of my spare time so that the rest of the world can be free AS WELL *not* INSTEAD OF me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also don't forget that that is a hypothetical question. No-one has explained by what mechanism that trade would be possible. What we actually have is westerners with the ability to get others freed for no personal risk, yet refusing to even make that non-trade. And THAT is the real problem we need to address.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-118307371965492354?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/118307371965492354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/118307371965492354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/fascist-australia-part-3.html' title='Fascist Australia Part 3'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-7103242840400205286</id><published>2011-03-21T10:43:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T13:28:14.612+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Fascist Australia Part 2</title><content type='html'>Continuing on from &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/fascist-australia-part-1.html"&gt;Part 1&lt;/a&gt;, was a trip immersed in symbolism. Remembering how unfit I am, I needed to walk a bloody long way along Paramatta Rd. As I heard from a comedian - there is a thin line separating success from failure in Sydney. It's called "Paramatta Rd". Apologies for the unfair and probably inappropriate analogy, but the thought that came to me was that this is like Jesus carrying the cross. Hopefully Jesus was fitter than me. I'm just the ordinary guy/slob next door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, with water in my body (while having minimal impact on a commercial enterprise), I was ready to set off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my way home, I came across a park with a flag that I didn't recognize. Still on my list of things to check out. I'm not really impressed with things like the "aboriginal flag" which to me is like a Nazi "white power" flag. I don't mind people displaying those flags pretending to be racial supremacists. I do mind when it is done for any other reason (like you really think your race is special and needs its own flag to separate it from the great unwashed second-class citizens).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was so tired at one point that I lay down on some grass. Then I got bitten by a fucking ant! I remembered why I hate fucking nature. Lying on a metal grid had its downsides too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually I came to a place that had both a KFC and a Hungry Jacks. Once again I needed water, and just needed to sneak in to the toilet. This is where the advantage of the faceless corporation could be seen. I was MUCH more comfortable going in here than the first place I went. Even though the water tasted the same. At this point I needed to decide between KFC and Hungry Jacks. What I remembered was "the burgers are better at Hungry Jacks", so that was probably a sign from God or something. I normally don't go to Hungry Jacks though - even though the burgers are allegedly better. I normally go to McDonalds though. Regardless, water from Hungry Jacks and then I'm off again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw a sign on a bus that said "Tell them the war is over" and thought that was God telling me to post something to that effect on the internet. But the furniture store I went into wouldn't give me 10 minutes on the internet. Just as well in fact. The info was quite clearly wrong, another reason why I don't trust messages from God and rely heavily on the scientific method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I eventually came across a place called "Rosebank College" (which I forgot the name of) which advertised itself as "A Good Samaritan Catholic Co-ed School" or something like that. I honed in on the "Good Samaritan" bit, which was exactly what I was after. What I didn't know at the time was that it is illegal to wander unannounced onto school property, for obvious-in-hindsight reasons. A kid directed me to the principal's office (I wasn't in trouble yet, and they've banned caning now - apparently someone decided that gross unrestrained violence wasn't a cure-all solution). I asked to use the phone, which they allowed, but the numbers I knew off-by-heart weren't answering/available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked them if they had any suggestion on how I could get from here to home when I didn't have any money. Then finally the thought struck me that I could pay the cabbie when I got home when I suddenly regained connection to my wallet and enough to money to travel around the fucking globe. But they said they would get the principal. The principal told me that there was someone who could drop me at my train station. Someone who was going in that direction anyway. I said that would be FANTASTIC. I didn't want to put anyone out, and if I could just be taken close to home, I would do the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The analogy? Libya. The Libyans are not asking for liberation on a fucking platter. They are prepared to do the ground war themselves. They just needed air support from someone who was going in the "we would like worldwide liberal democracies" direction anyway. Libya - I hope when you get your freedom you won't forget all the others who are peaceful people like you (e.g. Iran) and still don't have their freedom. Just saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately my Good Samaritan turned out to have a hidden agenda. He called the friggin police. So suddenly 4 policemen turned up. However, at that point in time I thought it was all part of God's plan so wasn't disturbed. Instead, I told them that they couldn't possibly imagine how much respect I had for them. Brave men willing to stand up and be counted when it comes to "protect the innocent". Honestly, if these guys were being paid what they were truly worth, I'd just start adding zeros to the end of their dollar wage and ask them to tell me when to stop. Unfortunately there are real world constraints, and doing that is necessarily at the expense of something else such as children's education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fuzz asked me what I was doing out in the middle of like FUCKING NOWHERE with no money or ID, and I didn't want to tell them "defecting to China", and something more important was happening. An analogy was brewing. You see, previously I had been told on the Anonymous chat that there were austerity measures in place and the rising cost of fuel meant that we couldn't provide air support to the Libyans. I was incensed by this and said things like "fuck austerity - put it on mastercard" and "i'd rather walk to work if that's what it takes" and "this is the best foreign aid you can possibly give - so stop all the other foreign aid that has zero long-term positive effect - if that's what it takes - in fact, you should have been preparing for this exact possibility all along instead of squandering it on an African black hole".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I realised I had the perfect analogy, so couldn't help giving it. My plan was to walk to work (god knows how many km away), to lower Australia's oil consumption so that this wouldn't be a barrier to the liberation of Libya. There's the extreme perfectly moral response which all these "demonstrators" should be doing if they genuinely want to look upon themselves as moral crusaders as they march in favour of gay marriage or whatever the lefty cause of the day is. However, after walking for so fucking long, I gave up, and decided to go home, then go out and buy a BMW, since I'm loaded, and then zoom to work, burning loads of petrol and fuck the Libyans. This gives an "out" to the general population who aren't on either end of the extreme. Yes, do your best, you sure as hell aren't perfect, but no, we understand why you're not trying at all - it is tough, and even if you fail to do any good in this area, maybe you do good in another area, so that's fine. :-) Libya shouldn't be dependent on an individual doing that anyway. Hasn't anyone heard of war reserves?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately the police doubted my story and asked me to come with them and put me in their paddy-wagon with no seatbelt or anything. I wasn't quite sure if they were taking me home or somewhere else. In the trip in the paddy wagon, the passenger cop was actually a beautiful asian woman, so I spent 50% of the trip perving on her in the rear vision mirror, and 50% of the time trying to come up with a scheme to maintain "balance" as to where I should ideally be (e.g. geriatric farm) to test the fairness of the economic system. Incidentally, I've already decided that I should not be part of the Caliphate at all, and instead it should be a triumvirate, and I have the 25 year old, the 43 year old, but not yet the 61 year old, although I'm hoping that Susan will provide that complement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my horror I had been taken to the funny farm. However, unlike my last incarceration, this time they admitted that they may have it wrong, and agreed to debate it in the free marketplace of ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this time something was very different. I could visibly see that the doctors were distressed. The impression that I got from them was that they thought I really was god, but were constrained by their medical laws etc to treat me as a lunatic. This was a game-changing equation. It was time for "don't ask, don't tell" with plenty of hyperbole. I told them that yes, I was in front of their comrades some years ago, as I ***TESTED*** the Australian system. I told them that I came up with some line of bullshit about being Jesus or a prophet or God or something (couldn't quite remember) to see whether the Australian system protected freedom of religion or not. I was testing this on behalf of Australian Muslims who are understandably worried that they might be on the wrong end of religious persecution, although I must admit that a lot of that is probably deserved. Regardless, I now had my line straight, and of course the doctors weren't going to contradict that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was the only day that it was obvious they were distressed. From then on they were back to the masked? face that they are God themselves and can lock me up for as long as they damn well please. Regardless, from now on I will be sticking to a "don't ask, don't tell" policy as to whether when I noticed that 666 on 9/11 coincidence that I had a golden opportunity to score some lulz.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-7103242840400205286?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7103242840400205286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7103242840400205286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/fascist-australia-part-2.html' title='Fascist Australia Part 2'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1895022674688504366</id><published>2011-03-21T04:40:00.004+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T11:49:07.046+11:00</updated><title type='text'>ASIO</title><content type='html'>The world (aka B-grade movie) has a lot of funny things in it. I can't remember what I was doing - probably blogging about ASIO giving me a hard time - and I saw &lt;a href="http://www.asio.gov.au/Careers/ASIO-Careers/Information-Technology.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; ASIO ad. It's for computer programmers like me to join their organization. I was wondering if that was a sign from God that I should join ASIO if I suspected that they were spying on me because of my religion (Mu'tazilah Islam) being outside mainstream. ie get a bird's eye view of who is being spied on. Then I saw their pay rates - $58,968 to $86,791 (plus superannuation) - which is in fact good, but you can get higher in the commercial world if you have an employer who will wring every last ounce of strength out of your body in a constant sudden death match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other factor is I think it's probably best I have no association with the government at all ever, so that I can continue to call them a fascist police state without a conflict of interest ie that I'm the fascist police. So - nice try guys - but I'm onto your wheelings and dealings even intercepting the ads that I watch to try to get me to join your Securitate. Man, where would we be without the Nazis and Commies to leverage an endless barrage of verbiage from - am I right or am I right, comrades?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, it's 5am and I can't get to sleep. I have a long blog post to make tomorrow (ie today) - part 2 of the fascist state - and I was hoping to get to sleep much earlier than this. Plus a bit of extracurricula activity (hey ASIO, not jihad terrorism bombing with C4 or TNT explosives or fertilizer bomb bought from a weapons fair or supplied by Osama Bin Laden aka Usama Bin Laden or Gaddafi/Kaddafi/Qaddafi/Gadaffi/Kadaffi/Qadaffi for attacks against the FBI or CIA or MI5 or MI6 or Luftwaffe so there's no need to check back on my blog for anything dodgy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

That's what my "Plan D" was for. ie normally I would just pay them to fuck off to Saudi Arabia, avoid a real war, and get glorious freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case, Gaddafi has gone too far. He didn't surrender when the result was in doubt. What we need dictators to do is surrender (or leave) when the result is still in doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With western planes now flying over Libya, victory is guaranteed. It would be bad to allow Gaddafi to escape now. He must be brought to justice, no matter how many people die in the resulting battle. Because setting a precedent is even worse. The precedents we need confirmed are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. If you go into exile without a fight, you won't be pursued, and our children won't be affected, so it's reasonably cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If you choose to hold your country hostage and battle it out, then you will be hunted down across the globe and brought to justice. The justice will be meted out by those same people who you enslaved, so you'd better watch your step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those precedents should cause the least amount of blood between Libya and the Entire World Being Free.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2711482012052883449?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2711482012052883449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2711482012052883449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/surrender.html' title='Surrender'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2305786718268539624</id><published>2011-03-20T20:33:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-20T20:42:15.209+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Economic Rights</title><content type='html'>Brian - You asked the cosmos, well, here's part of the cosmos replying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If people are starving to death, they have an absolute right to steal to save their life. They should not be expected to follow the law to the absolute limit and quite literally starve to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As such, if you want to live in a country where theft is almost unheard of (some of the Arab countries are like that, and Singapore too), then a social security net should be provided. If you find that the social security net is so good that people volunteer to be jobless and you have to whack them with a stick to get them to genuinely look for work - then you can be sure the level of payment is sufficient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they get the dole AND steal, well, what can I say? Use them as shark bait or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People also have the right to live under a proven economic model. If you think communism works, test it on a hippy commune or a small island first, before letting it run rife on an entire fucking continent. To date, the thing that has been proven to be successful is capitalism. So that's what we should see worldwide right at the moment. If you want to protest your current capitalist system, then the two companies that should be in your sights should be IBM for their z/OS monopoly and Microsoft for their Windows monopoly. I have &lt;a href="http://pdos.sourceforge.net"&gt;separately&lt;/a&gt; explained how to do that. It is outrageous that these American monopolies exist to this day and that no-one has taken genuine action (Linux is a communist scam, not genuine action) to end these monopolies. Where are all the communists when it's time to "give according to your ability"? You can see what I gave to my ability at that link, while operating under a capitalist system.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2305786718268539624?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2305786718268539624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2305786718268539624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/economic-rights.html' title='Economic Rights'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2882650237347191201</id><published>2011-03-20T20:21:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-20T20:32:30.704+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Osmosis</title><content type='html'>A conversation with a Taiwanese gave me some new terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This philosophy which I spent decades isolating:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST racism. &lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST sexism. &lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST religious discrimination. &lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST dogma. &lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST subjugation. &lt;br /&gt;I RESPECT INDIVIDUALS who VOLUNTARILY donate to COMPLETE STRANGERS (ie different race, different sex, different religion, different nationality) using their OWN HARD-EARNED MONEY. &lt;br /&gt;I will FIGHT using my BRAIN subjugation of ANY HUMAN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST nationalism.&lt;br /&gt;I am AGAINST non-humanist behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and which I call "message 666" due to a coincidence described elsewhere, is not directly taught to students in Australia. It is part of the culture, and e.g. the anti-dogma shows up when you see Christians being questioned about their whacky religious document complete with talking snakes, and the "anti-religious-bigot" shows up when the Christian majority is tolerant of such intense examination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the problem is that places like Taiwan can see that whites are getting impressive results, even if there are other flaws, and they copy the textbooks and hope to get the same impressive results, but don't get all the info they need. That forces them to send their students overseas for the "superior education". I was an English teacher myself for a short time, and I can tell you I threw in a lot of stuff that wasn't in the official textbook. And it's not just what is taught, it's the way that teacher's don't look down on people who aren't as skilled as they are. E.g. a teacher passing a class on to me told me to keep a certain student at the front, as they needed the most help. She didn't get paid any extra to say that. It's innate/part of the culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe if the Taiwanese etc were to directly teach the above, and artificially throw in some over-the-top "revolutionaries" who constantly accuse their own country (in this case, Australia) as being terribly racist (when it's probably the least racist country on the fucking planet if you ever stopped to talk to an Australian and got to know them - yes nips and chicoms - stop reading your racist textbooks and actually talk to ANY FUCKING SKIP ON THE WHOLE FUCKING PLANET), they may start getting the desired result.

Even if someone is smarter than you or kinder than you - it doesn't mean that you can't be God. We don't have any information about how the world is constructed at that level. We could be living in a computer simulation etc, and you (God) may only get your superpowers back in 10 minutes from now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember ignoring that street kid in the Philippines? He may be God. Assuming he gets his superpowers back in 10 minutes from now, do you think he will judge you harshly for not giving him any money? And force you to trade places with him as "justice"? Or do you think he will accept the excuse that you were busy addressing the underlying systematic problem rather than dealing with the symptoms of a fundamentally corrupt system, and given the limited funds available, it was necessary to direct all of them to fixing the fundamentals?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if everyone COULD be God, you'd better treat them pretty damned carefully and make sure you have your ducks in a row. Let us assume that you have some confidence that some jackass on the internet claiming to be God is in fact God. Hell, that happened to me, recently. A woman called &lt;a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/evolutionary_psychology_forum/message/597"&gt;Susan Sayler&lt;/a&gt; posted something so sublime that I recognized her as God and immediately stated such and emailed her to find out what she wanted me to do. She however denied being God. I don't know whether to trust that non-claim or not. However, I can tell you that I am incredibly lazy, and haven't read very much of her website, even though I think she might be God! Perhaps that is a good thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my solution to this problem is this - "don't ask, don't tell". ie if you see someone who you think is God, don't ask them if they are. And following Susan's example, don't admit it either. Just keep taking the same action you otherwise would have taken if it had been an ordinary member of the public. This will keep you, and the balance of the system, in check. There should be constraints on power. No-one in power can be trusted. As per previous blog posts from me, not one single existing power structure in the world can be trusted. I attacked the head of the Romanian Orthodox church for a reason - to test as far as I could that indeed, every power structure is corrupt. The media can't be trusted - no-one. Only the scientific method can be tentatively trusted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, when you're pretty sure you've got God in your sights, and you're treating him as you would an ordinary member of society, it is time for you to completely reevaluate how you treat ordinary members of society. In fact, if there is indeed a god, I think he should go to visit random places in the world (using a good maths algorithm for that to ensure randomness), and try to contact some random members of that society, and find out how the power structures are treating them. This will restore balance to the system. The UN website coldly and offensively declares "it's your world", without ever asking you for your opinion. If your favourite internet kook is claiming to be God/Jesus/Mahdi/whatever (and indeed, I am in email contact with such a person right now - I met him when I was incarcerated by my fascist police state) - then ask him to go and visit some random places in the world, speak to them and find out what's bothering them (e.g. "my daughter was raped by the state - institutionalized rape") and then be asked to answer some difficult questions like "ok, so what have you done to end that institutionalized rape that distressed man mentioned?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over to you now Michael, it's your claim, and you're not remotely living up to my expectations, and I'm not even asking you to demonstrate superpowers ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-7649514389542174437?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7649514389542174437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/7649514389542174437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/good-god.html' title='Good God'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-5238705644262161554</id><published>2011-03-20T18:14:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-20T18:26:52.844+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Ideological Clash even in Libya</title><content type='html'>Remember all those long debates about Bush's "war for oil" and patiently explaining that oil costs the same regardless of whether Iraq is a dictatorship or not? Then the long debates about "not UN-authorized" and patiently explaining that the UN wasn't a moral authority but more a collection of street thugs? It turns out the "real reason" the left-wing were debating had nothing to do with any of those things. Unfortunately it's scary that I can't get people to even agree to protect defenceless women. It means if my daughter is ever in harm's way, there is a large number of people who won't help her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here is (slightly censored) conversation I had with an ideological opponent. Note that where I said "anglo-saxon" note that Iceland had current anglo-saxon ideology a long time before the anglo-saxons. More than 1000 years of democracy in fact. By osmosis or whatever, the anglo-saxons picked up on the idea, and suddenly democratic forces obtained a lot of arms, and the idea was able to be spread much more easily than if Iceland was trying to do it on its own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;paul: how's it going?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Very good&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: How are you?&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;paul: i've been busy with libya&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: You are?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: How?&lt;br /&gt;paul: petitioning my government&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: ah....ok&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Well, planes bombed Libya &lt;br /&gt;paul: not a real lot can be done practically&lt;br /&gt;paul: missiles only so far i hink&lt;br /&gt;paul: thing&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is all political&lt;br /&gt;paul: think&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Yes, missiles&lt;br /&gt;paul: do you support using the military in this situation?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: No&lt;br /&gt;paul: wow&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I do not support outside interference&lt;br /&gt;paul: even with a UN resolution?&lt;br /&gt;paul: even with the Libyans screaming for help?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: UN has not resolved anything&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: There is no difference if some Americans in the US screamed for help to fight the federal gov't&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is theirs to deal with&lt;br /&gt;paul: there's a big difference&lt;br /&gt;paul: the americans just need to vote to change it&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: There is no big difference&lt;br /&gt;paul: HUGE difference from my perspective&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Well, so far, that is the case&lt;br /&gt;paul: what do you mean "so far"?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: America had its civil war to be in a position to vote today&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Libya is undergoing it now&lt;br /&gt;paul: America had the French doing the heavy lifting in the revolutionary war&lt;br /&gt;paul: now the french are repeating that&lt;br /&gt;paul: the americans had ZERO (zilch, nada) chance of winning without french heavy-lifting&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Let us face it, France has interest in Libya because Libya supplies oil to France&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Not for the civil war.

An American contact told me that in the US, Missouri legislation passed a bill to ban smoking in St Louis in enclosed spaces.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: BUT, legislators who wrote that bill in the first place, decided to exempt the Missouri capitol from the smoking ban&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: What a crock!&lt;br /&gt;paul: rofl!&lt;br /&gt;paul: ok, but if you asked them why they did that, you might be able to find out why&lt;br /&gt;paul: there will be some logic behind that&lt;br /&gt;paul: they're not ASBs&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: HAHAHHAHA&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Unfortunately, I believe in an automated way of doing things.  You do your stuff and I do my stuff.  I assume that you are doing your stuff correctly and I do not need to keep poking at you to find out why you do your stuff that way.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Now, if you produce that kind of legislation, then I judge you by it without any need of interviewing you.&lt;br /&gt;paul: you need to poke someone if you want to make disputed claims about them&lt;br /&gt;paul: i dispute what you say about the french government&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: HAHAHHAHA&lt;br /&gt;paul: they are acting admirably at the moment&lt;br /&gt;paul: taking the lead&lt;br /&gt;paul: the way it should be&lt;br /&gt;paul: i'd rather anglo-saxons weren't the front man for operations&lt;br /&gt;paul: anglo-saxons just provide the deadly punch if anything goes wrong&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Yes, true, just like old time.....European imperialism&lt;br /&gt;paul: and gives the others the confidence they need&lt;br /&gt;paul: it's not imperialism&lt;br /&gt;paul: it's helping allies&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: China was in a mess long time ago.&lt;br /&gt;paul: imperialism existed in the past&lt;br /&gt;paul: i'm not disputing that&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: All those plotting for the overthrow of the Qing dynasty ran to Japan.&lt;br /&gt;paul: it doesn't exist now&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: ...and plotted revolution from Japan.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That to me is no different from Afghanistan harbouring Osama Bin Laden and plotting to destroy the US.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Japan and Afghanistan should have stopped these people from doing so as they are not supposed to use another country as a base of operation&lt;br /&gt;paul: You're assuming the Afghans had any choice in the matter&lt;br /&gt;paul: about 95% of afghans are against Al Qaeda&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Are you sure?&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's what polls showed&lt;br /&gt;paul: want to see the polls?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Have you surveyed?&lt;br /&gt;paul: others have surveyed&lt;br /&gt;paul: i have contacted afghans in afghanistan myself too&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Because if they really are, they would have thrown them out themselves&lt;br /&gt;paul: and talked to them about such things&lt;br /&gt;paul: impossible to beat automatic weapons&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That means they are not&lt;br /&gt;paul: you have a fantasy view of revolution&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I certainly do&lt;br /&gt;paul: not everyone is lucky like the filipinos&lt;br /&gt;paul: the military changed sides there&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Because I believe even the military come from civilians.&lt;br /&gt;paul: yes, called "conscripts"&lt;br /&gt;paul: for a reason&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Their parents and brothers and sisters are equally citizens of the same country.&lt;br /&gt;paul: you have to force people to fight&lt;br /&gt;paul: stubborn_guy, you're not allowing for the true horror of a dictatorship&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is idiotic to think that once they are soldiers, they lose their brains to think.&lt;br /&gt;paul: these are real people who have been defeated by automatic weapons&lt;br /&gt;paul: they lose their ability to act the way they want to&lt;br /&gt;paul: if they disobey orders, their wife will be raped&lt;br /&gt;paul: what would you do?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is never hopeless.  Maybe not the time, but never hopeless&lt;br /&gt;paul: raped by their government&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The gov't is nothing if the people turned against it.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Look at Egypt&lt;br /&gt;paul: look at iran&lt;br /&gt;paul: egypt had decades of dictatorship anyway&lt;br /&gt;paul: they got lucky at the right time&lt;br /&gt;paul: look at the libyans&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Same with Iran.  The people in Iran believe in their gov't today&lt;br /&gt;paul: even when they do a successful revolt, it's still not enough to get to tripoli&lt;br /&gt;paul: the people of iran do NOT believe in their govt today&lt;br /&gt;paul: look closely at libya now&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's the best example&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: ha!&lt;br /&gt;paul: the people HAVE risen up&lt;br /&gt;paul: the govt has hired foreign mercs&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The People in Iran do believe in their gov't.  &lt;br /&gt;paul: and given them all the good gear&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: They can rise up against their gov't if they do.&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's not true about iran&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Just like when the Shah was in power&lt;br /&gt;paul: but let's use the real live example - libya&lt;br /&gt;paul: but let's use the real live example - libya&lt;br /&gt;paul: how are the libyans meant to get to tripoli?&lt;br /&gt;paul: 70% of libya is under rebel control right now&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That means Libya is not ready for a revolution.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Revolution happens in a natural manner and not in a forced way&lt;br /&gt;paul: they ARE ready - do you seriously think these people like gaddafi?&lt;br /&gt;paul: they've HAD a revolution&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's why 70% of the country is free&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Tripoli will fall if the people in Tripoli believe that Khadaffi should be ousted&lt;br /&gt;paul: that is NOT TRUE&lt;br /&gt;paul: Tripoli will fall when the automatic weapons are taken out&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is true!&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Nope&lt;br /&gt;paul: the people of tripoli can't bet them&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That means the military is not supporting the people&lt;br /&gt;paul: this is a simple derivation of the laws of physics&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Nope&lt;br /&gt;paul: the military is split&lt;br /&gt;paul: stubborn_guy, let's just make this deal&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The military is split then it would be fighting of equal strength &lt;br /&gt;paul: if you are ever under a cruel dictatorship, i will not help you. i will insist that you fight the dictatorship on your own and not help you in any way&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: There won't be any need to get outside interference&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Correct&lt;br /&gt;paul: however, if *I* am ever under a cruel dictatorship, *I* want external help, so please assist *me*&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Nope&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: You have to do it on your own&lt;br /&gt;paul: if your daughter is being raped by a gang of thugs, shall i ignore that?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: For anyone outside of Libya, yes&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Because if many of the people are fed up, they will overthrow the gov't and punish all these culprits.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But guess what, if an external force meddles, then, it would be difficult for the people to know what is actually happening.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: No foreign gov't helps other countries without a price.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: All exact payment one way or another.&lt;br /&gt;paul: that is not true. america has liberated lots of people, including my australia, and asked for nothing in return&lt;br /&gt;paul: they liberated the philippines in 1989 too&lt;br /&gt;paul: or rather - "safeguarded philippines"&lt;br /&gt;paul: a pretty thankless task&lt;br /&gt;paul: australia liberated the solomon islands too&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Are you joking?&lt;br /&gt;paul: are YOU?&lt;br /&gt;paul: i gave you evidence&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The Philippines was liberated by the US in 1989?&lt;br /&gt;paul: you've given nothing except conspiracy theories&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It never did.&lt;br /&gt;paul: yes - are you familiar with 1989  (not 1986)?&lt;br /&gt;paul: yes it did&lt;br /&gt;paul: you're not even familiar with your own history&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The US just showed its true color of supporting dictators who were friendly to the US.&lt;br /&gt;paul: wrong&lt;br /&gt;paul: 1989&lt;br /&gt;paul: tell me - if i prove that you are wrong about 1989, will you reconsider all your other negative comments about america etc?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Sorry, I misread, 1986&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: For the others, there was request for US assistance.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The US should not have offered&lt;br /&gt;paul: US didn't offer&lt;br /&gt;paul: they were just rung up and asked for assistance&lt;br /&gt;paul: they got it&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I meant agreed&lt;br /&gt;paul: problem solved&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's ridiculous&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That was wrong in my mind&lt;br /&gt;paul: you'd rather the rebel military won?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I would rather the Philippines slug it out&lt;br /&gt;paul: would you rather your daughter slug it out with 5 rapists?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Frankly, no.  But it would be a clean way of knowing what the Filipino people would want&lt;br /&gt;paul: i know what your daughter thinks of being raped&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: And by the way, a civil war does not only concern itself about rape&lt;br /&gt;paul: and i know what the majority of libyan people think of gaddafi&lt;br /&gt;paul: there's a very good reason why gaddafi didn't hold free and fair elections&lt;br /&gt;paul: he knows he would lose them&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: They can think all they want.  But if the military which is maintained by the children of the civilian populace does not believe in what the ordinary people think, no change will occur.&lt;br /&gt;paul: what if he hires foreign mercenaries??&lt;br /&gt;paul: and gives them the best weapons&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That is a different story.  &lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Mercenaries are individual -- not gov't entities.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But mercenaries should be condemned&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That would still mean civilian interference from another country&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: They obviously have passports and belong to a country.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Now, take for example, if I am not mistaken, Blackwater.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is a private security group from the US.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I believe there are scandals concerning them.&lt;br /&gt;paul: in the current case, gaddafi has hired more-trustworthy foreign mercs from Chad etc&lt;br /&gt;paul: given that there is ALREADY foreign interference, do you accept foreign interference on the side of the good guys?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is sooooo difficult to pass judgment on today's situations.  It has been ingrained since long time ago that interference is acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;paul: i wish!&lt;br /&gt;paul: i wish i lived in a world where it was ingrained to protect women from rape no matter where in the world they may be&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: You see, that was how WWI started.&lt;br /&gt;paul: and if that means interfering in another country's affairs, so be it&lt;br /&gt;paul: don't you have an innate desire to protect women?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It was first a dispute between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.  Then Russia sided with Serbia, then Germany sided with Austria.  Then France sided with Serbia, soon countries were siding and interfering as the war was spilling over to everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;paul: if a libyan woman was to look you in the eyes and say "why didn't you help me when i was being raped by my own government", would you answer her "because ... (justification)"???&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: That is the point I am trying to make.  It is not good.&lt;br /&gt;paul: WWI the free world wasn't as strong as it is now. now we can see the light at the end of the tunnel&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: If I were a foreigner in Libya and on my own, sure, I would.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But the Libyan woman would not expect anyone outside of Libya to help if that were norm of the day&lt;br /&gt;paul: if the libyan woman DOES have that expectation, and you don't, what would you say?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Sorry, you are on your own.  &lt;br /&gt;paul: my understanding of men is that there is an innate desire to protect women&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Harsh as it may seem&lt;br /&gt;paul: it is noble&lt;br /&gt;paul: a duty&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: To some&lt;br /&gt;paul: it's not a universal trait of men?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But men too are the very people who defile women&lt;br /&gt;paul: only women outside of their tribal protection&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: They bury them alive, they burn them, they rape them.....&lt;br /&gt;paul: only for outside tribes&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Not true&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Chinese emperors are known to bury their concubines/wives alive when they die&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Same with Egyptian pharoahs&lt;br /&gt;paul: hmmm, let me put it a different way - there is a group that is protected from your average rapist. e.g. they normally won't rape their mothers&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: You have a thinking that all humans follow all norms.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Well, there are serial killers and rapists&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's a good quote - how about this:&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: They do not respect any boundaries of family or tribe&lt;br /&gt;paul: even though all humans don't follow all norms, we have an expectation that the collective government should be pressured to follow all norms&lt;br /&gt;paul: ?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Yes, but who sets these norms?  In Papua New Guinea, cannibalism is a norm.  The western world thinks it is not and so they have laws against it.&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's why we have war&lt;br /&gt;paul: to see who sets the norms&lt;br /&gt;paul: anglo-saxons have nearly succeeded&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It Utah (US), some conservative Mormons practise polygamy but the US gov't does not subscribe to it and has laws against it.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Correct.  Anglo-Saxons set the stage of norms&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But those are based on Christian norms.  Try establishing those Anglo-Saxon norms over the Shariah norms and let us see if they are acceptable in the Arab world&lt;br /&gt;paul: again - that's why we have/need war - i want shariah to be defeated one way or the otther&lt;br /&gt;paul: so do most iranians&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Interesting concept&lt;br /&gt;paul: but not all&lt;br /&gt;paul: anglo-saxons have been attempting to spread their norms for centuries (as i see it)&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Again, it is up to the people of the country to decide what they accept or not accept.&lt;br /&gt;paul: the people of each country are divided&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: As for the Arab world, they would not want to get rid of Shariah&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Then what good will outside interference be?&lt;br /&gt;paul: thus even if we only have 5% support, it's very simply to provide arms to that 5% and they will enforce non-shariah&lt;br /&gt;paul: i would arm the minority if necessary&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Nah....That will leave your defenseless women and children no peace of mind&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: They will always have to sleep with one eye opened&lt;br /&gt;paul: i start by supporting countries like iraq/libya because i know it is much simpler - arm the MAJORITY&lt;br /&gt;paul: wrong - that 5% protect women as per norm&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But those majorities do not have Shariah as part of the change they are looking for&lt;br /&gt;paul: i want to protect defenseless women&lt;br /&gt;paul: fuck the majority&lt;br /&gt;paul: if the majority vote for hitler to gas jews, fuck germans too&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Ha!  That is not what I want.  Sorry, no can do&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I do not want a prolonged war.&lt;br /&gt;paul: it won't be prolonged&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: with outside interference&lt;br /&gt;paul: automatic weapons are fantastic&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Nope, look Iraq and Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: US can never get out of them&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: So, would nuclear warheads&lt;br /&gt;paul: in iraq and afghanistan, they decided to do nation-building&lt;br /&gt;paul: look at philippines 1989&lt;br /&gt;paul: US did get out&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Philippines was left to its own devises.&lt;br /&gt;paul: after helping the filipinos in 1989, they were booted out&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: The US did not interfere except when requested&lt;br /&gt;paul: right - so?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Iraq and Afghanistan, US is involved in everything&lt;br /&gt;paul: US is getting out of both afghanistan and iraq&lt;br /&gt;paul: nation-building is tough&lt;br /&gt;paul: no need to do that in libya&lt;br /&gt;paul: watch libya&lt;br /&gt;paul: foreign interference will be swift and brief&lt;br /&gt;paul: do you doubt that?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Nation building is tough because the people do not believe in the interference in the first place&lt;br /&gt;paul: that's not true according to polls&lt;br /&gt;paul: i have talked directly to earnest afghans&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I doubt it that it would be swift and brief&lt;br /&gt;paul: would you like to talk to a real afghan in afghanistan?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: If Chad mercenaries are going in, expect chaos.  &lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Then Libya may deteriorate like Sudan and then the world will be in it for the long haul&lt;br /&gt;paul: how about this&lt;br /&gt;paul: i believe libya will be won quickly&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Ok&lt;br /&gt;paul: gaddafi will be overthrown in a matter of days/weeks&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Sure.&lt;br /&gt;paul: there will be no civil war after that&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Then a minority will rule to dominate over the majority.&lt;br /&gt;paul: libya will look like e.g. morocco&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Then another Khadaffi will rise again&lt;br /&gt;paul: no, there won't be a minority rule&lt;br /&gt;paul: there will be a democracy&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Keep dreaming&lt;br /&gt;paul: that is my dream which i expect to come true&lt;br /&gt;paul: if my dream comes true, will you admit you were wrong?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Yes, I will admit that I was wrong about Libya.  But I will still think that foreign interference is still wrong&lt;br /&gt;paul: hmmmm. i only wanted the former to do the latter. &lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: We can always dream for the better could we?&lt;br /&gt;paul: you're a tough man to convince. i'll have to have a think about it&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: hahahahah...&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Although, I would admit, I admire that you have the courage to do what you believe in.&lt;br /&gt;paul: do you mind if i share this conversation?&lt;br /&gt;paul: i'll mask the name&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I commend you for that&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Yes.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Do not share my name please, but you may share the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;paul: thanks&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is a healthy dialogue&lt;br /&gt;paul: yeah, the clash of ideologies is happening right here&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: correct&lt;br /&gt;paul: and i'm obviously a supporter of the anglo-saxon ideology&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Man believes in whatever he would like to believe in (collectively)&lt;br /&gt;paul: (roughly speaking)&lt;br /&gt;paul: while you represent the damned russians&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: It is what we are used to&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I do not go with the norm in terms of philosophy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;paul: one good thing - i'm prepared to pick up a weapon to spread my ideology&lt;br /&gt;paul: you are not prepared to pick up a weapon to stop me&lt;br /&gt;paul: and are only willing to verbally attack from the sidelines&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;paul: so i will win so long as the anglo-saxons can learn to put cotton buds in their damned ears&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: HAHHAHAHA.&lt;br /&gt;paul: am i right?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: There are a lot of things in this world as it is now that I do not believe in. &lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I am sure eventually, the anglo-saxon norm will win.  Whether naturally or as a consequence of having it forced down people's throats.&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I prefer the natural way of course&lt;br /&gt;paul: cool. and i promise that after victory, I'll say "I'm really sorry about all that forcing - you were right and i was wrong, and i promise never to do it again". deal?&lt;br /&gt;paul: (in return for you not picking up a weapon)&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Don't get me wrong, I am not against the US.  I do not believe the US should be the police of the world.&lt;br /&gt;paul: i don't believe the US should be either&lt;br /&gt;paul: it should be the damned australians&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Deal &lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: My opinion about Australia, is that it is the US equivalent in the Pacific&lt;br /&gt;paul: it shouldn't be just the pacific&lt;br /&gt;paul: the pacific is boring&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But that is what it is today&lt;br /&gt;paul: australia was in iraq too, you know?&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: yes&lt;br /&gt;paul: we should have been leading that charge&lt;br /&gt;paul: not just an "also ran"&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: correct.&lt;br /&gt;paul: as an individual, i try to lead the "charge of the grassroots"&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: But the US ran the theatre&lt;br /&gt;paul: because if it's one thing i hate it's people saying that i support bush&lt;br /&gt;paul: when it's bush who supported me&lt;br /&gt;paul: or indepedent actors, whatever&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: Grassroots is the way to go.  That means you are convincing the people that will supply both military and gov't with future leaders&lt;br /&gt;paul: i have wanted to clean up the world since i was about 15 years old&lt;br /&gt;paul: right - i'm doing grassroots via my blog&lt;br /&gt;stubborn_guy: I applaud you as other people are afraid to do so&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5238705644262161554?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5238705644262161554'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5238705644262161554'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/ideological-clash-even-in-libya.html' title='Ideological Clash even in Libya'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1234164389412920051</id><published>2011-03-20T17:26:00.004+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-20T21:49:57.635+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Terrorists - Make My Day</title><content type='html'>Open letter to terrorists throughout the entire world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Sirs,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you may have noticed, France (love you l'amour), UK (onya pommie bastards!) and the yanks (nuff said) are currently bombing Libya (an Arab Muslim country in North Africa). Some Arab Muslims will look at this and say "oh no, yet another attack on Arab Muslims) - let's find a way to carry out a terrorist attack on those countries in revenge". To those Arab Muslims I have a simple message - attack Sydney, Australia instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those 3 countries are doing what I personally asked to be done a long time ago. You can see me asking (sarcastically) for that &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=203115813039227&amp;comments"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and un-sarcastically &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/libya-now.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only reason that it isn't Australian planes there right now is because we have a sick left-wing government in place. Howard would have ensured that Australia at least shared some of the burden. Regardless, I am not left-wing, so as an individual, I am asking that you attack me rather than my friends and allies. It upsets me more than I failed to defend my allies than myself. This goes for a country like Taiwan too. If China were to attack Taiwan unprovoked (and a declaration of independence IS a provocation - do NOT do that, Taiwan), then the equation is the same. China, feel free to nuke Sydney. I'd rather be dead than see my allies and friends in Taiwan hurt. I am happy to turn myself in to the nearest Australian police station and be shot in cold blood than turn my back on an ally. So go ahead pea-brained terrorists. Do whatever you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. If I actually get taken hostage by a terrorist, I will be full of tears and asking for the exact opposite. I will say that I was totally wrong, and the western forces should stand down and save my life. I will be very convincing. Please - ignore me. Treat me as if I was dead already, and get some (tempered) revenge for me. Note that the terrorists will be able to torture me to get my blogger password, so this blog may well change. In that case, if you need moral guidance, please speak to the sister of Mohammed Nabbous (RIP). I'm sure she has some ideas about how to prevent situations like that from ever occurring again. Remember the "never again" after Auschwitz? Some people actually live by that, believe it or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.P.S.

Believe it or not, "Hyde Park" and "Martin Place" are two different places near Town Hall, and it's NOT sufficient to just turn up to one or the other and expect the cosmos to channel the other one in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As previously posted, there was a 0.02% of my blog taking off if it got some media attention, and thus hopefully usher in world freedom then peace etc etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when "unrelated" events landed me with a couple of pieces of paper in my hand (stapled together), one of which was "March from Town Hall to Hyde Park on 10th April at 12pm" and the other saying "gathering in Martin Place on 20th March at 11am", what my brain ended up with is "20th March marching from Town Hall to Hyde Park at 11am". ie only 2 of the 4 substitutions hit home. Honestly, it's easier to do root cause analysis of what causes the myth that the mighty US lost to glorious Viet Cong guerillas".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First the enormous preparation. I paid $75 for a sign that said "AUSTRALIA send air support to LIBYAN rebels now !", plus my two internet links. By the time this actually came around, Libya was well under control anyway, so I added "Iran + Syria" to make it clear that I expect action regardless of what the fucking UN agrees to. I wouldn't follow unconscionable laws like that than I would refuse to jaywalk when there's no sign of traffic. My sign contact also made 10 headbands with the Chinese "democracy" characters on it. I had only asked for one, and that it should be tied, since that's what the real official ones (from a Chinese person) said in the 1989 protests. That only cost $10 for a new pair of trousers, cut up. Since the person doing this was also Chinese (only way I had to get the Chinese characters). But an enormous effort spent drawing Chinese characters with possibly non-waterproof ink. Regardless, it was all ready the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First problem. I overslept. In recent times I've been naturally waking up after a few hours sleep, so I thought there would be no problem getting there by 11am. I only woke up around 10:20am. Good news is that real action was being taken in Libya, so the most immediately important stuff was being done already. Unfortunately with this problem being wrapped up, the "real players" (ie Anonymous) will disperse. So we can't solve the big problems until the next big event brings us all together again. Iraq was like that too. The Iraqi blogs provided a venue for the intellectuals of the world to come together. I was surprised to not find those same people in the Anonymous chat rooms. This was where the fight for freedom was being internationally fought (by non-government, non-Libyan actors). The intention was that the civilians who turn up worldwide to these things would be much smarter than a bunch of fucking politicians and have better ideas than the government. E.g. &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html"&gt;Plan D&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did manage to make it to Town Hall before 12 noon, but the only thing there was some St Patrick's Day thing (cancelled). I asked a Town Hall security guard, and he didn't know of one either. Fortunately I had my piece of paper and I showed him April 10th and he laughed that I had the wrong month. Then I remembered the other piece of paper and just asked where Hyde Park was. There was a last-minute change of venue - north changed to south, but how difficult could that be? How big can a park in the middle of Sydney be anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turns out - pretty bloody big when you're walking! At the north end there were St Patrick's Day empty tents. They had no idea about any protest and told me to try the south end. Just my luck to find the end of a rainbow only to be told "wrong end". Unfortunately the other end had no idea either. I did meet someone on the way who asked me what side I was on. I said that I was sort of on Manning's side because of the good that it ended up doing (100 million people freed - twice what Bush managed).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hadn't brought all my required computer equipment to get back onto gmail to find out the proper instructions, but then rememebered that the piece of paper may have had the phone number on it. It did! So a quick call and Michelle explained that not only had I gone to the wrong place, but it was already over and to "not worry" since "she had my email". Or something like that. Not sure what use that is. What's she going to do? Chew me out via email?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to Town Hall station and I found a bunch of (what turned out to be) Filipinos taking a photo of the revolving "station list thing". Since the stations keep changing, I'm not sure what use the photo was, so I was looking at them like they were a bunch of nutjobs (coming from someone who has lived in Sydney for the majority of his life and is only vaguely aware of Martin Place and Hyde Park, that's probably a case of glass houses). But then I had a brainwave. I'd ask them to take a photo of me and my protest sign. And the Chinese headband. In hindsight I should have given them one of the 10 headbands I had as a souvenir. Nevermind. I gave them my email address and asked them to send it to me (I didn't know how to use my own phone's camera after some fumbling around. Ironic really - normally the camera gets activated accidentally).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully I impressed them enough with my info on 25th Feb (EDSA revolution) that I would make "international freedom day" and my knowledge of the "laban" that they will at least follow through and send me the photo. At least Town Hall is "public" even though I missed the real rally. No idea how the real one went.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8557761200509560543?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8557761200509560543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8557761200509560543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/protest-fail.html' title='Protest Fail'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-3144442270981798227</id><published>2011-03-19T21:26:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-19T22:05:24.513+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Short Road Found</title><content type='html'>As incredulous as I find it, it appears that Gaddafi has gone for an attack on Benghazi, which is the rebel stronghold. No idea how the guy thinks he can win that - his mobile forces in an urban setting. It's also very well possible that I'm being played - and this is a false flag "attack" by the rebels. I must err on the side of caution though, and I believe I have already done sufficient work to get &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html"&gt;Plan D&lt;/a&gt; activated. Gaddafi has missed his chance to be a western hero, and it is time for him to be shot down like a mad dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears that the western world is "on hold" waiting for the right meme/philosophy to be injected into the cosmos, so here it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;War is unpredictable, and should be avoided if at all possible. Paying dictators off rather than persecuting a full war leaves a nasty taste in one's mouth, but there are worse things than that - like having your tongue cut out. Your children will never experience that nasty taste. The best way of defeating an enemy is to turn him into a friend, and that means just blame everything on Gaddafi and don't pursue his tribe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider that (the assumed) Gaddafi's attack on Benghazi to be his Worst Idea Ever. The breaking of the ceasefire means the &lt;a href="http://daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/Get?Open&amp;DS=S/RES/1973%20(2011)&amp;Lang=E&amp;Area=UNDOC"&gt;UN resolution&lt;/a&gt; is violated, and thus it's open slather for the allied aircraft. Even ignoring Benghazi, whereever there are tanks, it should be possible to shepherd them from one end of the country to the other. So e.g. the tanks in Misurati can be used to re-liberate Benghazi, and Tripoli - they have the advantage that they don't need to hold territory, and light arms can be airdropped in as a place is liberated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the western media is untrustworthy, it's the best we have available unfortunately. Better to just win this war that we have, rather than imagining getting Plan D implemented. The battle to fix the problems in the west will have to be waged another day. Also, the west's problems are a speck compared to the log in Gaddafi's eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would France and Britain (and US if necessary) kindly smash anything that is moving in the wrong direction. This includes attacking into the city where Gaddafi's troops (and civilians) are located. That's just bad luck, and if Libya cares about the number of people martyred, it can ban cars for a few months and get its population back on track. The same thing that I suggested be done for British civilians trapped in Tripoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like seeing things blow up, so please get on with it. There's no good Gaddafi tank besides a dead Gaddafi tank. Let's see the rebels shepherded all the way to Tripoli at their fastest operating speed. All civilian deaths for this or any other action can be laid at Gaddafi's feet, since he forced the issue thanks to his 42 years of dictatorship and lying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is on your side - take my word for it. God sometimes supports war - when it's a war of liberation and there is no immediate/likely alternative. War should be used as easily as brushing your teeth. War is not something that should be avoided for the sake of avoiding it. It is a tool. Like all tools, it is imperfect. But there is nothing morally wrong with using that tool, any more than it is morally wrong for police to have and use guns. That's life. Or death as the case may be. And freedom is precious. It is a gift that must be zealously guarded. If you worry about the 0.01% threat to your freedom, the 99.99% will take care of itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Godspeed gentleman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want a meme - you got it.&lt;br /&gt;If you need a meme - you got it.&lt;br /&gt;I won't hide it. I won't turn the meme away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Law of Attraction - do your thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. to the Gaddafi spokesman who asked "who gave you the right to intervene in the internal affairs of another country" - God did. No God worth worshipping would stand idly by while state slavery existed. The only question that should be asked is "what restraint is God under that allowed the state slavery to go for 42 years?". And that's a subject for another blog I reckon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-3144442270981798227?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3144442270981798227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/3144442270981798227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/short-road-found.html' title='Short Road Found'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-1947482513161967978</id><published>2011-03-19T14:40:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-19T15:08:52.043+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Crossroads</title><content type='html'>Unfortunately I'm at a crossroad in my life. After attempting to defect to China and being turned in, as if 1 skip defecting every 10 years exceeded their asylum quota, I am now about to try Russia. I want to check that my blog is visible from the outside. I had this (quickly-terminated) conversation (timestamps in Sydney daylight saving times (UTC+11)) where you can see that my blog isn't even visible, then suddenly "the feds" allow it through. Usual plausible deniability. And yes, I'm 99.99% sure it's just a technical glitch and the feds aren't really doing this, but when I have actions like this happening, I have no choice but to follow the "one percent doctrine" (terrorists having nukes):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:29:42 PM): hello. you've been offline for a long time!&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:36:41 PM): Hi paul.  i took a break while things were happening.  i'm glad the UN has decided to enforce a no-fly zone.  I'm not sure that going in earlier would have been a better option (risk of increased retaliation, resent at outsider meddling, risk of of self-determination being co-opted by more western puppets, preempting the uprising succeeding on its own, etc., risk of losses damage from airstrikes, risk of inflamed ground-war, or release of biochemical weapons...), but I'm glad it's happening now.  I did not want to see it go on any longer.  You were pretty accurate about the need for a large-munitions response. &lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:37:20 PM): Libyan's would not have been able to overthrow Gaddafi by themselves, although I think it would have been a long and bloody stalemate, since putting the country back together under his rule would not have been possible either.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:37:53 PM): i'm certainly happy enough. i've almost stopped watching now. it's in safe hands now&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:38:12 PM): i actually moved on to something else now&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:38:55 PM): ...?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:39:11 PM): see my latest blog post&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:39:18 PM): http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:39:53 PM): by the way, there is one thing that was not done - the letter i sent to saif on 28th feb was not actioned&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:39:56 PM): unfortunately&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:44:26 PM): I believe the people of Libya will half to self-organize in a way that makes sense for them, determined by them.  Although these countries are in flux, they are not laboratories for our technologically progressive democratic solutions.  Those should be tried in developed nations that have the civic structure and the technological capacity and security to implement them.  Of course, we should offer to help other countries with these tools, but I doubt we should too strongly be telling them how to use the freedom they have just fought for.  That's my first response; I didn't read through anything.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:44:59 PM): that response is in relation to nothing i actually said&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:45:05 PM): correct&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:45:21 PM): i am not asking them to experiment on themselves&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:45:22 PM): i didn't read through anything except the title "plan for libya"&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:45:34 PM): that was the pad&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:45:59 PM): plan a-plan c was for gaddafi to live and die in libya&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:46:16 PM): i came up with a plan d for gaddafi to fuck off while saving face and doing some good&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:46:35 PM): i don't think that can happen.  gaddafi is no mubarak, who actually might be able to stay.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:46:39 PM): plan a - plan c were elaborated by saif&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:46:47 PM): who is saif?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:46:55 PM): gaddafi's english-speaking son&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:47:20 PM): i'm confused.  you have communicated with the son of gaddafi?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:47:26 PM): attempted to, yes&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:47:30 PM): made a lot of effort to, in fact&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:47:34 PM): you mean through email?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:47:44 PM): yes - feedback on his website&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:47:53 PM): read my latest blog post to see how much effort i made&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:48:21 PM): latest post is about effort i made on 27th feb&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:48:25 PM): 27-28th feb&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:48:34 PM): unfortunately, he did not seem like an honest broker.  he might be using social media to increase the perception that he is open to criticism and suggestions, but doing so deceptively&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:48:49 PM): sure. my plan doesn't rely on him being an honest broker&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:49:03 PM): i explicitly tell him its for lulz&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:50:47 PM): I think I meant that he would be unlikely to listen to you, since he doesn't actually care what people outside of his immediate circle of influence think.  I also doubt he would be motivated by Anonymous troll-speak.  He is a pretty well-educated, probably delusional, and fairly powerful (or was) person.&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:51:12 PM): He probably wouldn't take time to talk to someone on the internet with a plan.  Sounds like it was clever though.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:51:30 PM): it doesn't take long to read&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:52:20 PM): well, still a very exciting time for the region, and a very bad time to be a dictator.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:52:47 PM): not if he follows my advice&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:53:34 PM): paul, i'm not sure the people of libya or the international community would be interested in saif or anyone from the gaddafi family maintaining power in any way; nor am I.  &lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:53:34 PM): he will walk away a hero of humanity&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:53:44 PM): i didn't say he would maintain power&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:53:55 PM): you want him to kill his father?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:53:58 PM): nope&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:54:05 PM): it should only take 5 minutes to read&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:54:08 PM): you want him to convince his father to stepdown?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:54:09 PM): let me get the exact link&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:54:10 PM): nope&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:54:14 PM): well, not quite&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:54:28 PM): paul, I don't think gaddafi listens to his son&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:54:44 PM): it's more whether he listens to me&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:54:48 PM): i think he's nuts and incredibly eager to hold on to power&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:55:07 PM): http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:55:14 PM): please spend 5 minutes on that radical idea&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:55:59 PM): but paul, why would the son of libyan leader momar gaddafi speak to someone he's never met over the internet?  even if you had a genius idea, why would you expect that he would take the time to hear it, let alone implement it?&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:56:03 PM): i'll take a look.&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:56:18 PM): link didn't work btw&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:56:23 PM): what?&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:56:26 PM): k, did now&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:56:35 PM): sheesh. don't scare me.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:56:49 PM): if you read my latest blog post, you'll see why that statement of yours scared me&lt;br /&gt;american (19/03/2011 1:57:14 PM): paul i'm going to go for a bit.  thanks for the link.  cheers for now.&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:57:17 PM): http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/fascist-australia-part-1.html&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:57:23 PM): that's the latest&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:57:28 PM): ok, when will you be back?&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:57:41 PM): i believe your brain is crucial for current developments&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:57:53 PM): even if you aren't aware of it&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:57:57 PM): god is speaking through you&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:58:10 PM): i need to see your reaction&lt;br /&gt;paul (19/03/2011 1:58:25 PM): so that i can process it and figure out the next step in the jigsaw puzzle&lt;br /&gt;american has signed out. (19/03/2011 1:59 PM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was going to immediately go to the Russian consulate to see if I could get asylum:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.sydneyrussianconsulate.com/contact2.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;because 0.01% is way too big to risk world freedom over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the trouble is I have another conspiracy-busting plan already in motion, so now I need to choose between two different conspiracies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have organized a sign that says "Australia send air support to Libyan rebels now!" plus my blog address. Plus a Chinese-writing headband that says "democracy". I was going to use both of these things at the (wikileaks/manning) rally tomorrow at 11am Sydney time at Town Hall. If I defect now, I will miss out on the chance to see if that poster has any effect as far as getting ideas on my blog more coverage. The sign was from before the UN vote. So I'm planning on adding "IRAN +" and "SYRIA +" to the "LIBYAN" bit (ie don't wait for the UN - take immediate action). The chances of that protest sign making a difference are probably 0.02%, and I can STILL get the Russian side of things if I don't get arrested by the feds. As such, I think it is more appropriate to hold the defection off until tomorrow sometime. And I guess I don't need to defect so much as I just need the Russians to confirm what the internet looks like from their side of the fence, using communication equipment that can't be intercepted by the Australian government.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-1947482513161967978?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1947482513161967978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/1947482513161967978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/crossroads.html' title='Crossroads'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-362581998752173507</id><published>2011-03-19T14:15:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-19T14:23:34.935+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Russia to the Rescue</title><content type='html'>Hello Russia. There is an emergency. You may be the ONLY free country in the ENTIRE WORLD. I can't tell for sure. Only you can tell me. Are you able to see &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; post? I sent this to Saif (Gaddafi's son) "expecting" him to have a field day making the West squirm. I suspect it never even reached him. I think that all the people I contacted may have been in on a huge conspiracy. There's no way to tell for sure. You can see from &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/fascist-australia-part-1.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; that I already tried checking via Chinese channels. But much to my surprise, the Chinese turned out to be in collaboration with the fascist Australian government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're my last line of defence. Please ensure that Saif gets my message, as there is no need for Western air strikes on Libya (in fact, those air strikes will be unhelpful) depending on the level of conspiracy that exists. I will do my best to ensure this message gets to you. Note that I have &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/anonymous-and-russia-please-help.html"&gt;previously&lt;/a&gt; written to Russia requesting your assistance with an alternative to twitter. I have a suspicion that even though I have a Russian translation of that, that the message hasn't reached you. Do not trust anyone in power. Trust your own nukes as a defence of the free world (which may only have you in it unfortunately). I may apply for political asylum in Russia soon depending on what happens. Last time I tried to get asylum the fucking Chicoms turned me in to the feds and I was incarcerated the same fucking day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-362581998752173507?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/362581998752173507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/362581998752173507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/russia-to-rescue.html' title='Russia to the Rescue'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8261499677568662555</id><published>2011-03-19T10:45:00.005+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T11:10:30.426+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Fascist Australia Part 1</title><content type='html'>Now that the immediate danger in Libya is over, and it's only a matter of time before Libya is free, I am more-or-less in a mode where I need to reevaluate world threats and devise a new strategy. Especially as to whether China can be freed. After all, I am now in touch with a Chinese student newly arrived in Australia, and at some level I just put ideas into the free marketplace of ideas and see what happens. A bit like that stupid "Law of Attraction" from the "self-help" video called "The Secret".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I went quiet for a couple of weeks during the Libyan crisis. Here's why (long story) ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the night of 27th Feb, when I wrote &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html"&gt;Plan D for Libya&lt;/a&gt;, where suddenly I was attacking the West instead of an endless assortment of 3rd world despots, I realised I hadn't done due diligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, most of the people I talk to, I've never actually met. I don't really have any friends in Sydney. I have friends (or at least - associates) in Romania, China, US, Philippines, Russia, UK - but often I haven't even seen a photo of them! For all I know, they could all be the same white male ASIO agent living 2 doors down from me. Do I think ASIO thinks I am important? Hell no! They couldn't give a shit about me, although my recent interactions with Anonymous may have put me on some "annoying kooks" list. But unfortunately this is where I run into the "one percent doctrine", or in this case, the "0.01% doctrine". Freedom is too precious for me to have not done due diligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due diligence in this case is making sure some of these people exist and that my blog is accurate and my blog is even visible outside of Australia or any other country that would assist Australia in subterfuge. So e.g. Russia or China would be the sort of place that are truly independent. North Korea too. Unlikely to cooperate with ASIO to fool an Australian citizen (even assuming ASIO was into that sort of thing). Obviously on the night of 27th Feb with Libya under pressure, it was a bit too late to finally decide to do due diligence! But those were the cards on the table at that point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had earlier done things like &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/thankyou-all-chinese-and-indonesian.html"&gt;profusely thank&lt;/a&gt; the Chinese for their assistance as if ASIO really was blocking my access and they had saved my life. All these things are more likely to be technical glitches than genuine ASIO interference, although you can't tell for sure. Just like Dilbert's "random numbers" (always 9, and you can never tell for sure if they're really random). The purpose of thanking the Chinese so profusely was not because they had genuinely helped me to such a large extent, but just to "put that meme out there". The meme is that in the same way I am grateful (and ask for) for help (even small help) from a different race/nationality/"family", I also do the same thing myself. Some people just cannot register the concept that I would want to help another country like Libya or China. Because they understand their own tribal nature and cannot believe that others have an ideological (ie non-national/patriotic) tribe. The non-racial tribe is WAY against human nature, and they must necessarily assume it's some kind of huge conspiracy/trick. I'm not sure why they don't register the endless "aid to Africa" black hole as evidence of non-racial tribality - probably because there's some Marxist spin for that action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, at some level, I was extremely upset that I couldn't tweet things like "#jihadi" or somesuch. Someone was filtering my speech. In my opinion we need something to replace twitter, as we shouldn't allow a US corporation to decide what words are appropriate for a "world voice". It should probably reside in Russia, vigorously defended by nukes. I have started enquiries along those lines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, on the 27th Feb I had seen so many anomalies (twitter down etc), that I started wondering if my hyperbole was actually true. I had previously assumed that the small readership of my blog was due to me being long-winded and boring, rather than ASIO intercepting all of my communication. But - due diligence - I needed to ensure my "Plan D" made it to Saif. How can I do that when my own communication is being intercepted? I needed an independent reference point. Sure I have the Iraqi bloggers who speak Arabic, so I can send it to them - but they could all be CIA plants too. Obviously I don't think they are, but due diligence, due diligence, due diligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what? My neighbour is Egyptian. Not only that, but he was there before I moved in, so he can't be an ASIO mole. And guess what? There was an unexplained fire that nearly killed his family. Almost like ASIO was trying to drive him away. Just the mere possibility that I could have everything backwards sent a cold chill down my spine. Anyway, I had something specific to do - get onto the Libyan network, bypassing any ASIO controls that may exist on me personally. He was at someone else's house, so after ringing him, I was given a lift to his current place, and he was able to give me access to the internet. I realised I needed to get there quicker than ASIO could intercept his communication. Anyway, that went reasonably well, and I was able to get my message out. I asked him to contact his overseas friends to ensure it was all visible. He was about to talk in English on the phone, but I immediately barked "keep it in Arabic" to make ASIO's life difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then had a brief chat to me, saying that there was a lot of anti-Egyptian propaganda in the west, and that Egypt would never break the treaty with Israel as it is against the Muslim religion, and that the concern (never seen in the western media) was Israel not living up to its side of the bargain. A brief look at the 1973 treaty later showed that that appears to be false, but regardless, I told him that if Israel had signed something and wasn't living up to it, that I would chase Israel to the end of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One funny thing is that it almost appeared as if he was expecting me to arrive, and had independent Arabic access arranged to ensure my message could get through. I am aware that I could be being played at some level, and don't know who is in on it. Just the way that people contact me via the internet - they pause as appropriate and say "sorry was busy for 2 weeks" or whatever, depending on the circumstance. Even the OS/380 group ground to a halt while I was busy on politics. I even made a &lt;a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-os380/message/5946"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; to that effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, when I arrived back home in the early hours of 28th Feb, I noticed a very quiet neighbour still up and seemingly outside to monitor me. The possibility that I really was being monitored by ASIO ramped up even more. The final straw was when I woke up early on 28th Feb and a 9/11 truther kook had sent me some conspiracy theory about "Skull and Bones" and I noticed his profile picture that showed a white and a Chinese in seemingly military uniform eating together. I wondered if in actual fact China was in fact a democracy, and the PLA was full of international freedom fighters, and they wanted me to join them, but they needed to get past ASIO filters, so couldn't directly say words like "we're free, you're not".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That 0.01% chance that my complete worldview was totally wrong was now looming large. The only way I could find out if China was really free would be to get their side of the internet. Their consulate should have an independent internet access that couldn't be intercepted by ASIO, and would be protected by nukes. I needed to immediately defect to China before ASIO intercepted me. And I couldn't trust anyone. I ran from my house, taking just my Chinese "democracy" headband. No phone that could be tracked. Just the clothes on my back. No money either. I tried stopping random people to see if someone could help me get to the Chinese consulate so that I could seek political and religious asylum. No-one was willing to help me, because I looked like a kook. No answer from a nearby church. Someone suggested a taxi - I tried some random taxis but they weren't willing to take me and just referred me to the train.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately I was let in to the train station by the guard after I said I was after political asylum. I wondered if there was a whole network of Chinese spies who were doing these low-level jobs to ensure that when I realised that I was being monitored by ASIO, I could get to my destination. Basically pretty much anyone who really has to do a low-level job is trustworthy. I had a vague recollection that the Chinese consulate was at Museum station. But I thought that if I went there directly, ASIO would probably be expecting that, and intercept me. So I decided to get off at St James instead. Unfortunately a woman on the train asked me where I intended to go as she could see me intently looking at the sign. I blurted out "St James", but hadn't noticed when she had gotten on. And now she knew my secret plan. As did ASIO if they were monitoring the train. I told her a bit of my story and my web address to try to find me and how no-one in power could be trusted. I apologized for sounding like a kook. Regardless, I was potentially screwed. I tried telling some other passengers where to find me if I didn't make it. I've been incarcerated before, after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was able to follow someone else through the St James turnstile and then I asked a street vendor where Museum was. He pointed me in a particular direction, and it seems that I went through Hyde Park. I touched base with both a woman sitting on a chair, and a homeless woman, to try to get them to see me in the Chinese consulate, and if I wasn't there, to assume that I had been arrested by ASIO. The homeless woman at least said she wasn't interested in seeing me at the Chinese consulate. A bus driver or two got me closer to my destination. And you would be surprised at just how few ethnic Chinese people know that a Chinese consulate even exists, much less where to find it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the Museum side of Hyde Park I was somehow contacted by a guy handing out "Big Issue" magazines. He may have seen I was lost or something - can't remember. What I do remember is that this was someone nominally trustworthy, but I suspect he was in fact an ASIO agent. He told me that the last westerners to defect to China ended up in jail. I had to actually ask him "jail in which country?" and supposedly it was China. I can't be bothered verifying/denying that information, but regardless, I said I said I would take my chances with the Chinese. After all, I can see people going back and forth to China. While my hyperbole suggests that the Chinese are my bitter enemy, I do in fact think that they are on a good track and the political reform will come naturally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, to make a long story medium, I got into a debate with him. He was saying that China was a dictatorship, while I was questioning whether that was even true, since in the back of my mind was the photo of skips apparently in the PLA. How did he know that the info we were getting was even true - the whole internet could be rigged/censored by ASIO - how would he know. And guess what he said? Kiddie porn! I smiled at that, because that's exactly what gave me confidence too. If kiddie porn could get through, surely the internet was an unrigged environment? And my reply? Even that can be rigged with photoshop. The technology is so good that it's nearly impossible to tell if any of these images are real. I really really really hope that all the kiddie porn is deliberate fakes, but at the same time I don't trust the government any further than I can throw it. He referred me to www.easygals.com as well. I also noticed that in his position he seemed to be able to chat to women easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that point, I simply asked him why Australia's forces weren't helping Libya already. He said that we had an agreement with the UK in that if our forces go in, theirs automatically follow. I said I wasn't aware of such a formal alliance with the UK, and also please explain why the UK failed to turn up to Vietnam while Australia did. Interesting sideline here - a big hullaballo is made about the fact that "Menzies asked to join the war" rather than being invited. I went and looked at those source documents years ago, and all did was point out the obvious. Although Australia is willing to defend the free world, we need to actually be formally invited to go to a country if we don't want to be accused of - you know - fucking invading a sovereign state!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With his argument collapsed over Vietnam, he instead tried to tell me that the ADF was a DEFENSE force, not an invasion force. I told him nonsense - Australia is a nation of liberators, regardless of the stupid name we may have for the greatest fucking liberators in world history. He told me he was proud to be Australian. I told him I used to be too. It's not me who was about to defect from Australia. It was fucking Australia that has defected from itself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was eventually directed (including by an Aboriginal man - there was some Aboriginal thing around the area) to "Lee St", where you can indeed get passports or some sort of emigration. I asked a security guard where the Chinese embassy was, and he directed me to Camperdown. On the way there, I realised I shouldn't take my headband to the Chinese consulate, and needed to throw it in the bin, or give it to someone. After scaring one woman, I decided the bin was the way to go. Then I ran across Sydney University and I knew they had a "Koori Centre" there. I thought that was most appropriate - the Aboriginals knew what it meant to preserve past culture, and valued simple treasures from the past. Someone gave me a map, but it didn't have that listed. I knew it existed, so asked some official, who told me it was at the "Old Teacher's College". Asking for help, I eventually got there, and asked the guy if he could preserve my headband because it was so important to me. He could see how distressed I was, but he basically told me to fuck off. Yet another front for the fucking commies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried giving it to another woman, who wasn't comfortable about that, and then I was about to try to figure out from a map how to get out when an old man with poor eyesight asked me for assistance to get to the Bosch building. We went together, and on arrival he bought me an orange juice. A lot of symbolism seemed to be at play, and I was trying to protect his belongings in two places at once. He is a WW2 vet and I told him how much I appreciated his efforts, and asked him to mind my headband as he would take care of WW2 medals. He said he would be back at this place for a lecture on March 9th (I think) at either 9am or 10am or something confusing. I told him if I was alive and able, I would be there from 8am - 12 noon to get my headband back. Circumstances (ie incarceration by the fascist Australian police state) meant that I was unable to make that appointment, although I did manage about 10am-10:10am with no sign of him in any of the 4 lecture halls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted him to have my contact details and he gave me a pen to write with. I wrote down "I am in danger. I am going to defect to China now but I don't think I will make it. See www.antisubjugator.blogspot.com" or something similar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was trying to get out of Sydney University, someone else asked me for directions. This was when I noticed something unusual. I was being treated as if they knew everything on my blog and had accepted me as God. Just the expression on some people's faces. This one in particular was almost in tears as I helped her find her classroom on the same day that I was expecting to be killed by ASIO. Certainly under the right circumstances I am extremely kind and willing to put my &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2010/02/indian-rumblings.html"&gt;life on the line&lt;/a&gt;. She said "I never expected something like this could really happen" without elaborating. I didn't push her for details, because here's another thing. If I am being treated as God, I want to have "plausible deniability". I think there was a "don't ask, don't tell" principle in operation here. She mentioned that she was in some socialist group and she had it so wrong. I gave her my blog address and also mentioned Iraqi men having their tongues cut out. Interestingly, I have since been back to Sydney University and no longer see the same reaction. It was "one day only" basically. She promised to read my blog, but I have seen no evidence of that. I think she might be under a constraint of her own. She can't do any action outside of what she would have done if I had been a normal individual. So she may never see me again, and that was bringing her sadness. I did try to find her classroom again without success. Her classroom was fairly close to an exit, which I took. Incidentally, this was the first day of Uni so most people didn't know their way around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With more help from bus drivers and pedestrians, and finally a furniture store, I made it to the consulate. Note that by the time I got there, I was shit-scared of being arrested/extrajudicially murdered. So I didn't jaywalk, and I tended to cross at the lights only when there was no major vehicle that could wipe me out, and I crossed with other people on the assumption that the government wouldn't attempt a murder so big.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a relief to get in the doors of the Chinese consulate! I think it was important for me to experience what an asylum seeker experiences as they leave with nothing but the clothes on their back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a computer monitor with 2 options on it, both of them in Chinese. wtf? Don't these people speak English? Anyway, fortunately there were a lot of Chinese people there, and I asked him what the two things were. It was "visas and passports" or something, and he asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted political asylum. It seems the stupid fucking Chicom programmers didn't think of adding a 3rd option "political/religious asylum" in FUCKING ENGLISH on their stupid computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the guy I spoke to came back with a white security officer in tow. The white guy asked me to leave, and I was terrified. I yelled out that I wanted asylum for my political and religious rights. I'm normally a quiet, shy person, so this was completely out of my nature obviously. This guy was unarmed, and I probably could have taken him on, so he didn't want to escalate force. I told him I wanted to see an ethnic Chinese person not a white guy. He said to wait near the door and he would sort it out. I negotiated to go away from the door, as I didn't want to be rushed, end up outside Chinese territory, and be locked away for treason or whatever laws fucking Howard had spent so much time creating to hassle innocent Muslims such as myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I heard him on the phone saying something like "too much drama" and I thought I was being expelled for this reason. I got angry at him (although he denied it and said he was just calling a taxi) and rushed into the next room, where there was a queue of people waiting to be served. I got in that line, but the white guy followed me, so I instead rushed into a corner, beyond the line, so surely I must be in Chinese territory by now and a fucking skip wouldn't follow me there. He seemed to be holding back tears (once again, as if he knew what Australia had devolved into that someone would rather take their chances with the fucking Chicoms than this fascist socialist wasteland - I had mentioned that to the girl at Sydney Uni too - the one who also seemed to be holding back tears as if she knew the whole story).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were in a stand-off for quite some time, and I asked the guy if I could have a glass of water and he said something along the lines of he could only get me something that wasn't proper drinking water, and I said I would settle for anything, and apparently you can survive for 3 days without water, and I'd rather die here anyway. But instead of getting water, 2 armed cops turned up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to get into another door to where the Chinese officials were, but it was locked. I then yelled out again to the room that I wanted political and religious asylum. Not one person bothered to see if I needed help. There was probably 60-100 people in the room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this stage I was defeated and reluctantly left Chinese territory. I apologized to the cops for disturbing the peace. They asked me if I had ever been in trouble with the police, and I said I didn't think I had a police record, but I was once escorted into an ambulance by the police. And I told them the story (don't know if it is true) that when the Chinese execute someone, they make the family pay for the bullet. Well, when I was forced by the police into an ambulance because they didn't like my religious opinion (note that my religious opinion isn't so whacky that it includes talking snakes, but nevertheless gets the attention of &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/psychetruth#p/u/40/L2rneEd3bps"&gt;pseudo-science quacks&lt;/a&gt;, I was forced by the Australian state to pay for the fucking ambulance!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They asked me what I wanted to do now, and I said I didn't have any money, so I would have to walk home, which is about 15km away from where I was. I should have been able to make it, and the other thing I had taken with me was my house keys, since I thought I'd better hedge my bets as I've been in this situation before - expecting God to sort it all out, and being disappointed when the same old fascist regime remained in place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I started the walk home, I was really thirsty and saw a guy at a cafe with water, and asked if I could have some. He directed me inside. Inside they were busy, but I saw a bathroom, so got water from there so as to not disturb people for a "free service". Maybe that was the "not proper drinking water" that I was told about but didn't receive. I then set off on my highly symbolic "long march". Note that I am grossly unfit, so a 15km trek is like 5 marathons for me. Unfortunately I don't have much common sense, so I didn't realise that an option open to me at this point was to wave a taxi, ask them to take me home, then pay them from my wallet which was still in the house.

Why do you need to be on the wrong side of so many military events? What are they teaching you at school? War is bad or War for bad ideologies is bad? It should be the latter. If you rule out wars of liberation, you may as well disband your police as well, as police often need to use violence to "liberate" individuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, first the bad news. As far as I can tell, there isn't a blanket allowance for air strikes, which are really what is required to usher the rebels to victory. The air strikes (ie of ground targets) are only allowed if someone is threatening civilians. Which means that if Gaddafi puts his tanks in the desert and fires at military targets way away from towns, the rebels will not have what is required to break out of Benghazi. The ruling simply protects Benghazi's ability to retain its territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we focus on civilians - let's say we don't want a single civilian killed - sanctity of life etc. What both sides need to do is get out into the desert to fight it out. Unfortunately, Gaddafi probably still has better ground hardware, although maybe that is no longer true after a recent defection. Regardless, Egypt now has the ability to provide weapons over the border, and those weapons can reach Benghazi without being attacked from the air. So this should make Benghazi the strongest power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the rebels can get out into the open and "do the right thing" by engaging in desert warfare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, now that Gaddafi has inferior weapons and numbers, he will be no longer be interested in desert warfare, and stay in the towns he currently controls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So imagine a particular bit of Gaddafi territory is surrounded. What then? The rebels can and probably should assault the town, with the allied aircraft not being concerned about casualties caused by the rebel assault. And technically I blame Gaddafi for that anyway, as if he was a decent ruler he would put his forces out into the desert for annihilation instead of hiding behind civilians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one other option. The locals could gather in large demonstrations again. Of course Gaddafi can't afford that to happen, so he will shoot them. The first civilian shot gives the allied planes the right to attack Gaddafi's forces, even if they are in the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, either way you go, civilians die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's yet another proposal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do the same thing that Cuba's "revolutionaries" did - just buy off the security forces so that they don't fight. Give them a carrot and stick option. They can either take some money and get safe passage out, or face certain annihilation at the hands of both advancing rebels and civilians. You'd have to be a complete and utter drongo to turn that down! And as they start defecting, the position becomes more and more futile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So first things first - get that equipment in from Egypt and be the most forbidable ground force in Libya. Not sure how long that will take. Then go and surround/relieve some town like Brega. No need to wait for western planes - there's nothing for them to do until Gaddafi is stupid enough to put a plane in the air. Just the threat of aircraft being available should be enough to keep Gaddafi out of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a great day for freedom! Long live the Libyan Lions!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-5913098724063014018?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5913098724063014018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/5913098724063014018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/daffy-ducking.html' title='Daffy Ducking'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-8314985661055760996</id><published>2011-03-18T03:46:00.004+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-18T08:59:53.262+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Poster Post</title><content type='html'>For the first time in my life, I'm going to have a real poster. I ordered one for $75 that will have "Australia - send air support to Libyan rebels now!". Ironically, it looks like France and Denmark (bless their souls) may make my $75 squandered. Here's how the shakedown went:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-02-28 - Incarcerated for the crime of going onto school (that advertises themselves as Good Samaritans) grounds to use their phone to get a lift home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This kept me mostly off the net as I didn't have adequate Disaster Recovery procedures and the Australian government is a fascist dictatorship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-14 - Formally discharged for good behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-15 - Went to Sydney University to speak personally to individuals to get them to write to the Australian government. On the surface it seemed like I might have traction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-16 - Printed 500 flyers for $50 and handed some out myself before paying $60 to get some lively girls to hand them out instead. Went to town hall meeting but was denied opportunity to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-17 - No sign of traction from yesterday's activities so paid $75 for a banner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2011-03-18 - As soon as I get my poster, I'll go to an Arabic area of Sydney to see if my poster inspires some of them to write to the Australian government, since Arabs hate their dictators even more than we do. Will check the internet to find out if any other country has provided air support first. Will repeat exercise on Saturday and then on Sunday there will be a march at 11am so that's another opportunity to get some airtime for my suggested solution. Not really looking forward to protesting alone on Friday and Saturday. Even on Sunday I may get abused/beaten-by-pacifists for supporting western (Australian) intervention. But once again, same old litmus test - if the Libyans are brave enough to face automatic weapons, I have no real option but to brave ridicule/abuse/physical harm of some sort. Hopefully France will step up to the plate so that I don't need to. They are the ones with a professional air force after all. I'm a self-confessed keyboard warrior after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Before 28th Feb there was this activity:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/libya-now.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on 20th Feb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And via Anonymous there were:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=550&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on 23rd Feb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=509&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on 21st Feb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.anonnews.org/?p=press&amp;a=item&amp;i=473&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on 19th Feb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the other days prior to incarceration by the Australian dictatorial regime I was writing to places like Germany on 25th Feb:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/libyan-genocide.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and making contact with British/Russian/etc contacts to try to get other messages/concepts out into the "mind hive". So I have been requesting real action a long time ago and have no confidence that the Australian dictatorial regime will really step up to the plate any time soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8314985661055760996?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8314985661055760996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8314985661055760996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/poster-post.html' title='Poster Post'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4266342481550910119</id><published>2011-03-17T20:28:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-17T21:15:46.572+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Almighty Analogies</title><content type='html'>On 24th Feb when it looked like the rebels were heading for a slam dunk with massive defections, there were some interesting analogies. Analogies that look back to 9/11 and the appropriate response to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaddafi said "all reporters will be treated as Al Qaeda terrorists". This left it to the US to point out that "just because some reporters are terrorists doesn't mean that all reporters are terrorists". A direct analogy to when it was Muslims in the firing line after 9/11. In fact, I deliberately adopted (a reformed version of) Islam just so that I could plead with the Christian world as to what was wrong with Mu'tazilah Islam that would give them reason for concern. To force the debate to more specific terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next one was the fact that westerners were trapped in Libya and needed to get out or else they could be used as hostages. I made the following points:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Brave Arab Muslims (the rebels) will come to your rescue, and some will die as they try to assist you (Americans). Please remember to thank them profusely when they arrive. Perhaps give them some flowers. They are willing to spill their blood to protect you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If some fellow hostages die during the rescue attempt, please know that it was an accident unlike Gaddafi who was deliberatly trying to get you killed. Prepare yourself for war casualties, as that is inevitable given the limits of the liberation technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Once you are liberated, would the US Protestants please refrain from killing the US Catholics (like we see in Northern Ireland sometimes) and vice-versa, and regardless, please do not blame the act of liberation for what is in reality American religious bigotry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously this is an analogy for the Iraq war. In that case it was Americans protecting good Arab Muslims. Now the tables were turned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it was, I was kept so busy keeping up with the war that the hostages were all rescued before the rebels got there, so I lost my opportunity for a timely blog post. But that's what I had in my mind at the time. Basically God Almighty was constructing an analogy for us to follow. Note that all these constructed things are pre-determined. There were times when I would see I was about to complete some major tweet or somesuch and the time was midnight or something else obviously a setup. I could sit and watch it going down, and being able to say "something signficant is going to happen at midnight, and it will be an analogy, and I can nominally object to the setup using my free will, but instead it is predictable what I will do in response to this stimuli, as I will not betray the drive for freedom". I found that reality quite amusing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I was being challenged at exactly the right time so that I was forced to verbalize my philosophy to those who didn't think the same way. Here is one particularly important one, where I showed that the same trade-off with car crashes I expected the Iraqis to make, also equally applies to British (I censored a little bit of the conversation to avoid revealing the guy):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Session Start: Sat Feb 26 06:56:31 2011&lt;br /&gt;[06:56] [him] too crowded to talk out there&lt;br /&gt;[06:56] [him] wuts it?&lt;br /&gt;[06:56] [paul] you have let's say 100 UK citizens in tripoli&lt;br /&gt;[06:56] [paul] tripoli airport&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] right&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] it's more tho&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] anyway&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] wut&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [paul] in the next month, in the UK, there will probably be 1000 people die on the roads or something&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] probably&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [paul] i can look up the figures&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [paul] why don't you just ban cars for one month and save all those lives?&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] b/c those are undirected events&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [paul] instead of jeapordizing your entire foreign policy for 100 in tripoli?&lt;br /&gt;[06:57] [him] no human agency deliberately caused those to occur&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [him] that's the difference&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] pardon? you allowed private car travel&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] why not make that illegal?&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] innocent children die&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] babies&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [him] Look at the twin towers, 3000 - 4000 people died.&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] who didn't choose to get into that car&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] they were forced to&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [him] Why not ban all air travel?&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] exactly!&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [him] Going by your reasoning&lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [him] It's bullshit logic paul. &lt;br /&gt;[06:58] [paul] human activity is inherently risky&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [paul] no it isn't&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [paul] yours is bullshit&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [paul] getting tripoli liberated is far more important than getting to granny's a little bit faster&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [paul] catch the damned train&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [him] It depends&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [him] entirely on the numbers&lt;br /&gt;[06:59] [him] it really does&lt;br /&gt;[07:00] [paul] fine. let me look up the figures for UK road toll&lt;br /&gt;[07:00] [him] No, you mistake my point&lt;br /&gt;[07:00] [him] I'm referring to something quite a bit more abstract.&lt;br /&gt;[07:00] [him] Human activity has risks.&lt;br /&gt;[07:01] [him] Some we control directly. e.g. Foreign Policy.&lt;br /&gt;[07:01] [paul] The total number of deaths in road accidents fell by 7 per cent to 2,946 in 2007 from 3,172 in 2006.

At yesterday's town hall meeting about Wikileaks, I stood patiently in line for about an hour waiting to have a voice in the real world. Unfortunately it was denied to me due to time constraints. I was going to keep my question short, but now I can do it fully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all some context. I believe it was you, but maybe it was &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger"&gt;John Pilger&lt;/a&gt; who made the comment that Australia needed to grow up and say "no" to America. Canada and New Zealand were cited as examples of countries that could say "no". Were you not aware that when the US humbly asked of Australia "please don't pull out of Iraq - we need you and so do our mutual Iraqi allies", Rudd did in fact say "no". I would consider that to be the childish foot-stamping stance, quite apart from the abject immorality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the whole context is completely wrong in the first place. It should be Australia that is concerned about the human rights of Afghans, Iraqis and Libyans, and Australia who leads the way in war of liberations, and it should be *us* that humbly asks the question "can you please help us" to the US, and it should be the US that is grown up enough to say "sure, we'll do whatever you want - you're a longstanding ally and friend and it will be a cold day in Hell before we reject a plea from you guys!".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, my question was just going to be:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunisian_Revolution&lt;br /&gt;"&gt;Wikileaks&lt;/a&gt; has been part of an incredible chain of events:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Another cause for the uprising has been attributed to the inability of the Tunisian government from being able to censor information from reaching the Tunisian people, such as information from WikiLeaks describing rampant corruption in the Tunisian government."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an unintended consequence (*) of that, Libya is now in a civil war, with the rebels losing territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given that we can all agree that we want the rebels to win, can we please have a list of countries that can be trusted, and get those countries to provide immediate air support before the rebels are all wiped out? Is Australia one of those countries, and if so, how soon will our planes be there, and can you please confirm that dictators in the United Nations will not determine Australia's sovereign decision on whether to act in the defence of freedom?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you can answer this question, given the effort I made to stand in line to ask the question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks in advance sir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul Edwards,&lt;br /&gt;Australian citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(*) I notice that when it comes to providing air support to the Libyans, "unintended consequences" comes up, but no-one seems to care about the unintended consequences of leaving a loopy dictator in power for another 42 years, nor releasing the leaks???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I hope you can answer the Libyan question on its own instead of saying "we can't liberate Libya unless we simultaneously liberate every other country on the planet and fix all problems in general. Libya can be asked and answered in its own right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.P.S. Another common theme at the meeting was that online activism was not enough to get Julia Gillard to do the right thing, and that we should engage in civil disobedience. Since the number of people participating in civil disobedience will be much less than 50% of the country (ie 10 million), that will also be a small minority of people who are trying to set policy via terrorism/blackmail and should rightfully be ignored/jailed too. The only hope I see of changing the sick system we are in is to get a 3rd political party on the scene which is designed to create the transparency and honesty and representativeness we all seek. The third party should have no other purpose than that, and wherever elected, it should just vote with whoever would normally have won the seat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6155915600380544576?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6155915600380544576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6155915600380544576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/hello-andrew-wilkie.html' title='Hello Andrew Wilkie'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-145296590719812276</id><published>2011-03-17T13:32:00.004+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-17T18:46:56.300+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Real World Strikes</title><content type='html'>My keyboard-warrior activities left me in a state where, by my analysis, we needed more people to petition governments around the world to send air support to the Libyan rebels. E.g. if we could get 150 people to write in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm in Australia, so as much as I hate leaving the keyboard, I went to Sydney University to speak directly to some students. For other reasons (I will blog separately about that later), I had some familiarity with Sydney University. The reaction was generally positive from the few people I asked, but no evidence that they came to my blog to copy my letter etc. That happened on Tuesday (2011-03-15).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way back from Sydney University I ran across a sign (2 signs in fact - which were crucial for me to note the URL) that said there was cheap printing available. Note that these days I tend to treat a lot of signage as a "sign from God" that I should be thinking about and actioning - all of course with "plausible deniability". That night I negotiated with the owner and I was able to print 500 double-sided A4 for approx US$50, which I thought was great value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday I picked up the printouts then tried to distribute them in the Broadway tunnel (ie between Broadway and Central Station). Very few people were willing to take it from me and I wasn't sure what to do about that. Then a couple of girls came literally dancing by, handing out their own brochures with apparently large success. Yet another sign from God? Regardless, I realised that it was the message that was important, not who was handing it out. Which is somewhat the story of my life in fact. I can say things as an Australian (e.g. nuke that guy, then that guy) that Americans can't say without being accused of imperialists. Australia doesn't have nukes or the ability to threaten, so it's just a "point of view" that the lefties have a tough time dismissing via ad hominem attack. Australia is a good place to be for analysis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quick chat with them (Carmen and Ruth) revealed that they were being paid US$20/hr to distribute their stuff, and I simply bid US$30/hr for them to distribute mine. They had trouble believing I was serious, but with the money in hand, they weaved their magic and everyone walked away happy. Unfortunately I didn't think to keep any in reserve for my own use, so actually had to get one back from them. Interestingly, Carmen asked me if I was Libyan. I said no, and asked about her ethnicity and it was Vietnamese. I said that I would help the Vietnamese just as much as the Libyans, and if she looked at my blog, one of the &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2005/04/good-morning-vietnam.html"&gt;first entries&lt;/a&gt; is regarding &lt;a href="http://forums.mutazilah.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&amp;t=25"&gt;Vietnam&lt;/a&gt;. I also mentioned that maybe one day Libya will be part of a coalition to liberate Vietnam, so it was definitely a good idea to get behind Libya's freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then another "sign from God" - someone started telling them that there was a town hall meeting. They redirected the guy to me, and he passed the info to me. It was time for me to turn up to Town Hall to look for more signs. It turns out that the meeting was advertised in places like the "green left" newspaper as well as the normal Sydney Morning Herald. The meeting was about Wikileaks - an attempt to protect Julian Assange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was still quite early, but wanted to scout out the area too, as although I've been on the steps of Town Hall, I'd never actually been inside. A security guard confirmed that I had the right location. But before I reached there, I ran across 2 other things. One was a Thai massage for US$49 for an hour (which would enable me to kill time if nothing else), and the other was some religious organization called &lt;a href="http://www.familyradio.com"&gt;"Family Radio"&lt;/a&gt; saying that Judgment Day was on May 21, 2011. As nutty as that sounds, and things like this have a woeful track record, it may just be that they're right this time. Let's see. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, with the location scouted, I went back looking for this massage place. I had difficulty finding the sign - misjudged how far it was, but eventually found the guy (Eric - newly arrived from China). I was actually more interested in talking to him about Chinese freedom than having a massage, but he told me he needed to bring 4 people in every day, and that the boss thought that it was a job that only a woman could do, and he wanted to prove that a man could do the job as well. Like wow man. Talk about anti-sexist. I was wondering whether I should go there every day just to ensure he met his quota. I made sure that when I got there, I told the boss/staff that he was a very friendly guy. I also gave him my last remaining flier and said that I would be back to get it, which I did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I was able to go to the town hall meeting. They said a lot of stuff, 50% that I agreed with. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wilkie"&gt;Andrew Wilkie&lt;/a&gt; was there. I lined up (incidentally, I was shit-scared to do this public speaking, but I considered that if I was too gutless to speak while Libyans were willing to fight against automatic weapons - I couldn't live with my gross cowardice) for about an hour to ask my question, which was "which countries are trustworthy such that they can provide air support to the Libyan rebels and is Australia one of them, and if so, why aren't they there already?" but they pulled the plug on questions before I got to ask mine. So as usual, the only place I get a minor voice is on the internet. A girl in front of me brought up the issue of the Iranian dictatorship, and I was sure to clap her loudly for that. Iran is hot on my list of places to liberate after we've seen what can be done about Libya etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, if we look at these three current events:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Japanese earthquake&lt;br /&gt;2. Bahrain protests&lt;br /&gt;3. Libyan civil war&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spend 0% on problem 1, because there are already processes in place to handle that, and everyone works cooperatively instead of saying "we shouldn't help Japan because ...".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spend nearly 0% on problem 2, because protests rarely result in a change of government, due to the improbability of defeating automatic weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Approximately 100% of my effort is on problem 3, because this is a situation where the rebels have automatic weapons of their own, and could actually win this battle against a force where defections are likely, and if western air support were added to the equation (one French plane simply flying in and out of Libyan air space could be enough to panic the Gaddafi supporters), it would definitely be a rebel victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing I realised yesterday. It is possible to treat both root cause of problems and symptoms. While ever resources are scarce, I direct nearly 100% of them into solving root cause rather than squandering them on symptoms. This is designed to produce the best long-term result with limited resources, which is the morally correct way to operate, in my philosophy. Symptoms are that endless stream of sad African children that you see on TV constantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. There is no sign that my &lt;a href="http://www.mutazilah.org/libyan_revolution.doc"&gt;flyer&lt;/a&gt; has caused any more traffic to flow to my blog, so that seems to be yet another dead horse to flog with regards to getting results.

Here's one place that it isn't illegal:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepherding_(Australian_rules_football)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Shepherding is the act of legally obstructing or preventing an opposing player from gaining possession of the ball or reaching the contest."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what is now required in Libya. The rebels have tanks in Benghazi. These tanks need to hop from city to city all the way to Sirte (which has so far always been in Gaddafi's hands. Once the technique is proven to be able to take Sirte, it can then be used to take on the tougher target - Tripoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is good news in the fact that France has already recognized the National Transitional Council:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Transitional_Council&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people (and any straw poll of free Libyans will doubtlessly confirm the accuracy of that). The UK has more-or-less recognized it too. It would be good if the international community could recognize such bodies much faster than it currently does, as this changes the whole legality question on its head immediately. No longer do we have rebels rebelling against the government. We instead have Gaddafi's goons attacking the genuine Libyan representatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been a lot of discussion in the past weeks about a "no fly zone", as if that is the cure for all ills. Even if we had a no-fly zone implemented in 10 minutes from now, it would in fact be useless. That just means that neither side can fly planes. But with the SAMs (surface to air missiles) that are in rebel hands, plus the defecting pilots, Gaddafi doesn't appear to be winning via exercise of air power. He is winning with superior ground forces. The usual way to defeat superior ground forces is with aircraft. That means aircraft conducting airstrikes against one side in a battle. This is far from a no-fly zone. Also a no-fly zone requires enormous resources to maintain and may well be beyond France's ability to do so. Temporary air strikes during a city hop are a completely different kettle of fish, and something that France is capable of doing alone. And with the UK more-or-less recognizing the genuine Libyan representatives, France shouldn't even need to act alone anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can everyone please lobby their respective governments to both recognize and make contact with the Libyan National Transitional Council with a view to shepherding them and their tanks from city to city instead of having rebel tanks exposed to air assault. This is entirely legal as it would be done by agreement with the genuine Libyan representatives. If someone wishes to say this is illegal, then ignore them, get the job done, then debate the legality separately, with a view to changing any law that makes the ridiculous claim that a dictator is a representative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Some great quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/14/world/africa/14libya.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"pleaded for a no-flight zone that seemed a metaphor for any kind of international help"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I personally want them to send troops from abroad to stop this dictator. I swear to God almighty"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/10/opinion/10kristof.html?_r=1&amp;scp=3&amp;sq=no%20fly%20zone%20&amp;st=cse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"General McPeak added that there would be no need to maintain 24/7 coverage over Libya"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.P.S.

Both the Arab League and the Libyan rebels:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=31&amp;Itemid=74&amp;jumival=6399&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;are clearly asking for a no-fly zone to be imposed on Libya. Note that if you simply recognize the new transitional council as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people, it won't even be an act of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be good if we could establish a general principle here. A major threat to newly-established democracies is the dreaded military coup. To counter this possibility, it would seem to make sense to have a general principle that in the event of any coup, an ad-hoc coalition is immediately created. The coalition's first priority is to make contact with many different military groupings in the country, e.g. by dropping satellite phones on about 50 different bases in the country with instructions to "call us if you are against the coup". The hope is that out of the different groupings, there will be some/many/most commanders that are loyal to the democracy rather than an unknown dictatorship. These pro-democracy allies can then be supported from the air as they begin to retake the country on their own (ie ideally not even special forces would be sent to assist in calling in air strikes).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to years/centuries of misinformation/bad press, the coalition should ideally not include Israel, USA or the previous colonial power. So in the specific case of Libya, that means the Italians should not be involved, but France and UK are perfectly fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideally there should be some "emergency contact" numbers that would allow an anti-coup/rebel base to immediately declare itself as an "interim national council" that can be recognized immediately such that flying planes into the other country's airspace is not actually an act of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that there is some prior art to this - in 1989 a Philippines coup attempt was quickly put down simply by US aircraft making an appearance at the request of the Philippines president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, with regard to the cost of the operation, these wars of liberation should be considered an extension of foreign aid. The current foreign aid that is given is usually thankless, and often counter-productive, and almost always squandered. This new form of foreign aid should have highest priority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the specific case of Libya - I am humbly asking you to provide air cover for the Libyan rebels so that they don't get slaughtered from the air. Note that our armed forces are already paid for, and since we're not in a major war with anyone currently, our aircraft are not needed for any other theater of war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can we please set aside all domestic disputes until the good, peaceful people of Libya are free?

In a jointly-devised Anonymous pad we basically have this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WESTERN REFORM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent Libyan revolution has created an opportunity to reform the Western political system:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a list of specific changes which both those on the left and right wing can agree to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Some political systems don't allow the gradual rise of a 3rd party. The STV voting system (as used by Australia and called "preferential voting") is able to address this issue, so that when an American votes for an independent, the vote isn't wasted. However, even in Australia, the major parties found a way of preferencing a 3rd party last to prevent the threat to permanent 2-party rule. Such collusion should be illegal, and the main opposition party should always be last instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. There should be a mechanism for voters to register on the internet and directly request an issue to be debated. A similar situation should exist for asking questions, e.g. "Why haven't Australia's F-111s been deployed to Libya yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The western media (both independent and state-owned) does not give proper air time for any view that is against the status quo that those in power love. The pro-liberation Iraqi protests in Dec 2003 that were covered up would be a prime example. The media instead thinks (correctly) that it can ignore genuine political reform by telling westerners that freedom in the Middle East is a trivial issue, and that the endless and unsolvable "global warming/cooling/climate change/weather" issue is what is important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The capitalist system in the West is truly horrible. Unfortunately every alternative ever tried is even worse than that. Given the unsolvable nature of this problem, there should be a social security safety net. In an effort to keep the politicians honest, they should be required to live on the social security "wage" while ever they are in office, so that they know what it feels like to not have a job. Or perhaps live on the average wage so that they have a direct incentive to increase the average. If they have trouble making ends meet, they can always live in a tent like Gaddafi does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Again in an apparent case of collusion, the courts seem to follow their own political agenda rather than what the written law says to do. This is no different from Middle Eastern dictatorships. There should be some form of "external audit" which citizens can petition whenever the courts are shown to be endemically corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. A feedback mechanism needs to be put in place, where every year, 10 randomly-selected individuals should be asked "are you happy?" and "what would you change if you had a voice?" to see whether or not the "representatives" are representative!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Corporate sponsorship of political parties should not be allowed. Alternative parties have enough trouble rising up in the first place against entrenched parties. Nevermind when politicians are flush with enough cash to plaster the airwaves with their message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. The sad truth is that western animals (cats, dogs etc) have more legal protection of their rights than foreign humans. As such, each year, every western government should be required to demonstrate it spent more time/money trying to protect foreigners from having their human rights abused than it did for domestic animals. Also, the effort should be tangible (or at least have an excuse why tangible wasn't available), rather than a talkfest to pretend to be caring. Military action in Afghanistan and Iraq are examples of "real effort", even if mistakes were made in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These demands are negotiable, and are mainly intended to demonstrate just how far reality is away from the ideal. And to highlight why today's citizens feel so disillusioned about the political system they were born into and have little chance in reality of changing. In fact, it took a war in Libya to even provide an opening for negotiations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Anonymous has gone into a hiatus with regard to press releases, so I have to publish it myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to considerable effort in "real life" to ensure that "Plan D" was posted on Gaddafi's Arabic site, but of course, he has no interest in working productively on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also missed a golden opportunity a couple of weeks ago to create a conceptual blog post. At the time, there were US civilians trapped, and it looked like the rebels might have had the strength to rescue them. So I was going to draw a parallel with the Iraq war, and ask the US civilians to not complain if the rebels accidentally killed some hostages in the process of liberating them - it was a limit of the technology. I was also going to say that post-liberation, that the US Protestants and Catholics didn't start killing each other and then blaming the deaths on the rebels. ie to put blame where blame belongs - not on liberators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were also UK civilians trapped, and once again, I pointed out that those UK civilians were no more important than the UK civilians killed on the road, and the UK could just ban car travel for a month or whatever to compensate for the UK civilians killed in any rescue attempt. And that if I knew the British people, the civilians would have been horrified to think that the liberation of Tripoli was on hold while waiting for them to escape. So those were the analogies I missed as separate blog posts (that show that the Iraq war was done correctly).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet another another pre-destined analogy came up - Gaddafi calling all reporters Al Qaeda terrorists. Forcing the US government to explain that reporters were in danger, and others to point out that not all reporters are terrorists (same deal we hear about Muslims).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we stand at a different crossroad. Gaddafi's forces are clearly stronger, and have been &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12708687"&gt;making gains&lt;/a&gt; in Zawiya and Ras Lanuf. France has done something good in recognizing the rebel leaders as the legitimate representatives. This should make it easy to respond with air strikes if and when the new representatives call for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that Gaddafi should be given the same rights that a lion that ate your child would be given. For the initial battle, treat Gaddafi as if he is evil, and vanquish that evil. But after he is defeated, give him "lion rights". That's what any god worth worshipping would want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would hope that behind the scenes, equipment would be pouring into Eastern Libya as we speak (especially mobile SAMs), and any no-fly zone would just be the icing on the cake. But once again, do not underestimate the enemy and act as if a no-fly/no-drive/whatever zone is required to win the war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the absence of Gaddafi playing ball and terrorizing the West into western reforms, he's of no further use. He just needs to be vanquished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the sensitivity of air strikes, perhaps commando raids on SAM sites would be a way of allowing a no-fly zone that has a guaranteed 0 civilian deaths (from the air, anyway) result. Philippines 1989 is the best model for US air power - they just show up and everyone knows continued fighting is futile, because they are trained professionals. Note that one of the reasons that the US trains foreigners is so that when their civilian counterparts argue for a glorious war against the infidels, their own army replies that that is futile. They're more likely to believe their own military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I think Britain and France should be the ones leading the air war, after recognizing the rebel leaders. That way the US can say that it stuck to its promise to not attack Libya if Libya gave up its nukes (which it did). Have some very strict ROE on the planes, as they are not expected to do much anyway, as Gaddafi's forces will probably start surrendering as soon as they see allied planes around.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-4096963484543622849?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4096963484543622849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/4096963484543622849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/libyan-lion.html' title='Libyan Lion'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2482460570255311052</id><published>2011-03-09T23:02:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-09T23:40:29.146+11:00</updated><title type='text'>God Helped Us</title><content type='html'>With regards to God's recent &lt;a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/evolutionary_psychology_forum/message/595"&gt;message&lt;/a&gt;, it would seem that that neuroplasticity that she talked about is the subjugator vs non-subjuguator vs anti-subjugator tribal realignment that I felt take place in my brain as soon as I was able to identify that crucial word "subjugate" that I had been missing for decades. My question therefore is why isn't the same brain-changing tribal realignment taking place in others? I used to think that all I needed to do was say "I pledge allegiance to use my brain to fight subjugation of my species - do you?" to trigger off the same brain changes that happened to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I know from emperical results that it didn't happen in others, and that means there is some other crucial factor missing that is preventing the likes of Gaddafi (Libyan dictator) from switching sides. I'll throw it open to God to comment on which ingredient is missing, as it will take me years to plough through her website to see if the answer is already there, while the blood in Libya is probably a matter of a week or so away from being spilt as machines obeying the Laws of Physics decide the new reality, rather than new paradigms in human brains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll continue to hedge my bets by calling for the no-fly zone at the same time as the peaceful solution (ie Gaddafi agreeing to join the tribe of anti-subjugators or at least, non-subjugators) is independently pursued.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2482460570255311052?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2482460570255311052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2482460570255311052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/god-helped-us.html' title='God Helped Us'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2421358926139324239</id><published>2011-03-09T17:02:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-09T17:37:31.000+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Falun Gong Forever</title><content type='html'>I have previously posted on the importance of &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/friday-prayers.html"&gt;Friday prayers&lt;/a&gt;. These nominally allow a revolution to start whenever an unjust government is in power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, horses for courses. In China, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong"&gt;Falun Gong&lt;/a&gt; is more appropriate, which is why China is so keen to ban it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we probably need is some sort of guarantee that at least the people of Hong Kong can continue to enjoy the freedoms they had under British colonial rule. And this means that we must be prepared for nuclear war with China in order to protect the people of Hong Kong. I have heard that the Chinese already go around saying "watch what you say or we'll nuke you" to "foreigners". Well, perhaps its about time they got a dose of their own medicine. Stealth bombers and other technology may be able to render China's nukes inoperative and we can free the Chinese people. I reckon as soon as we have the technology/spies/viruses in place - go ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an aside, I would like to point to &lt;a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/evolutionary_psychology_forum/message/600"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; forum chain, where I believe(d) that I found God. I have made contacct with Susan Sayler (who calls herself "Empress of the Global Universe"), but she denied that she is God. And indeed, there is plausible deniability of that. But that message, at that time, was pure gold to me. I was also in stitches at this sentence - "We can discuss with our pets how the cell phone uses microwaves, or show them where to plug in the cable to watch TV, but pets lack the brain capacity to follow a complex line of logical deduction.". Even though I now have a face for God, I haven't really spent any time reading her work. I've just read the one article that she posted, which is also available &lt;a href="http://susansayler.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/how-science-influences-the-collective-mindset-by-susan-sayler/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Her work will take ages to sift through, and with her in denial, I am going to concentrate on what can be done (to secure Libya e.g.) via my normal logic. Also, it's just so bizarre that the stupid self-help video "The Secret" would be held up as having any value whatsoever. Skeptics can and do thoroughly debunk that. Like I said - it'll take time to digest all this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, one other comment - one of my contacts from the Philippines was surprised when (after she gave me some "lessons") I said I was wondering whether she was God or not. She asked how she could be God when I knew more than her (not surprising, being nearly twice her age). I explained to her that she could get her superpowers "back" in 10 minutes from now, and then she'll start judging me by how I have treated her when she was powerless. etc etc. In the case of Susan, she has outclassed me in the science department. I also have a working theory that God manifests himself (actually, these examples are both female - so maybe "herself" is more appropriate) through different actors at different times. I have a long story of such manifestations happening in the last days of February 2011. I'll blog about that another day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-2421358926139324239?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2421358926139324239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/2421358926139324239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/03/falun-gong-forever.html' title='Falun Gong Forever'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-4363807238096484063</id><published>2011-03-03T14:11:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-03T14:15:07.123+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Friends Forever</title><content type='html'>Open Letter to Julia Gillard, Australian PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi Julia.

You don't know me, but I know you, as I see you on TV all the time. The western media has decided that you are an important person, so your opinion gets heard. I'm one of the little guys, so I never get to go on TV. I have an opinion (pro-US neocon) that the media doesn't like to hear from because it conflicts with "The Narrative" (given to them courtesy of a Soviet psyops and subsequently internalized - long story, check my blog if you want more info).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So e.g. when I want to say something to the Libyan people, I just have to put it on my &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=203115813039227&amp;comments"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; where of course no-one ever sees it, so I never get to influence public opinion. Not even the American media thinks that &lt;a href="http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2005/06/thanks-america.html"&gt;a letter&lt;/a&gt; from an Australian that is grateful to America is worthy of publication. The &lt;a href="http://healingiraq.blogspot.com/2003/12/great-day-for-iraq.html"&gt;Iraqi bloggers&lt;/a&gt; were flabbergasted when no western media - other than about 10 seconds on Fox News - thought that most important demonstrations in human history (pro-liberation Iraqis) were worthy of publication, despite the fact that the people attending them risked their life to go to the streets, unlike the clowns who rock up to western rallies as some sort of big party paid for by "liberal fascists" - not one of them who genuinely cares about the Iraqi people. It's just a chance for self-aggrandization and they should hang their heads in shame like FUCKING FOREVER. They need your suffering to continue so that they can pretend to care. Instead of genuinely doing something to help like I try to do to the best of my fucking ability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this phenomenon is not just for my (Australian) support of Bush/America. E.g. on Australian TV I saw Pauline Hanson kissing an Aboriginal man who supported her. I would have loved to hear that Aboriginal man give an explanation as to why he was supporting Pauline Hanson, when Pauline was supposedly a racist. I suspect that he supported her for the same reason I did - he believed in equality of the races and leaving the past behind instead of having Aboriginal suffering being used as a prop for liberal fascism (socialism).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, first of all, I'm the sort of guy who errs on the side of caution. So when I saw an unconfirmed report of 300 tanks heading east out of Tripoli, I thought "holy shit - massed armour like Hitler used, and the rebels/cockroaches aren't organized to withstand that yet" and contacted the Australian government to ask for immediate air support to protect the rebels. My government didn't respond to me of course, because I'm a little guy who they only pretend to care about. But I think the British have come to the rescue and are standing by in Malta to ensure that there is not going to be any Gaddafi tanks "doing a Hitler" (at least if the Libyan rebels fail). As such, the rebels should win this war, and with that safety net in place, we now have some scope to play around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You seem to be a young guy with good English, and that cocky attitude you have tells me that you may know what "lulz" is. As in "Armageddon - we did it for the lulz".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I am inside Australian culture, I know what reaction you will get from Australians if you do certain things. Here's what I want you to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received this message from a Turkish friend of mine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;turk: do you know 15.000 Turkish workers have been evacuated from Lybia&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;turk: its ok&lt;br /&gt;turk: its not your problem&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(he's wrong - it's exactly the burden I choose to bear of my own free will because I believe I have the skills required to solve problems like that)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't quite understand that, and can't be bothered googling it, but I suspect you are holding some hostages. On top of the Libyan hostages you are holding (ie all of Tripoli). I really don't know what the mix is, but what I want you to do is something quite unusual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want you to get some volunteers from the "hostages" to make some "rape porn" videos. You've got heaps of money, and so long as you pay women/men, you'll always find some who are willing to do anything at all (ask to look at my porn collection one day). While I don't have in my possession any rape porn (a great pity since rape is a natural instinct), what I do have is something &lt;a href="http://mutazilah.org/iraq_atrocities/movie1.ram"&gt;far&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://mutazilah.org/iraq_atrocities/movie2.ram"&gt;more&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://mutazilah.org/iraq_atrocities/movie3.ram"&gt;worse&lt;/a&gt; - Iraqi men having their tongues cut out by their own government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want you to go on TV and show a (supposedly) frightened Turkish/Libyan/whatever woman and say "If the Australian government doesn't show that Aboriginal man that Pauline Hanson kissed on state-run TV to give his political opinion, then this woman will be raped by my African mercenaries and then killed". Give the Australian government 1 day to locate that Aboriginal man. I'd simply LOVE to hear what HE has to say. This will force the fascist Australian government to given genuine representation to ALL Aboriginal points of view, instead of just the endless-grievance view that the western media LOVES to project (to show that capitalism is fundamentally flawed when it isn't - it's the best things we know of to enable people to escape poverty). Just those words coming out of your mouth will be the lulz of the friggin century. Then if the Australian government refuses to give in to "terrorist demands" (hell, you're just repeating the words of an Australian anyway) - make the video and publish it on the internet. It MUST look real. People must GENUINELY BELIEVE that these atrocities are happening before they will take action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People like me will act as if they are real EVEN THOUGH we both know that you're just using volunteers and special effects. If I was the Australian government, I would give in to that demand which is coming from a Australian anyway to give representation to an Aboriginal. How could any (fake) bleeding heart left-wing fascist give in to such a reasonable demand without appearing on TV to look like the slimy cockroach on drugs that she is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I want to get this out there on twitter (my media has no interest at all in my opinion, but I have a lot of contacts on Yahoo Messenger who may be - and of course a "pretend tyrant" like you gets his beautiful face on TV too!). If the idea takes off, we'll end up with a new western paradigm. Maybe even some rape porn, depending on just how low the Australian government is willing to stoop to keep their fascist point of view as the ONLY point of view allowed in western countries (westerner are too fucking stupid to see that they've been played by people in power, even when it's laid out for them in clear logic in the posts on this blog).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To ensure that there is no accidental war - please ask the rebels to hold fire until you've started negotiations with the fascist Australian government for a new paradigm. This is URGENT. Hold fire so that we can begin the negotiation process of setting up new structures that ensure that we never again have atrocities like Iraqi men having their tongues cut out and no-one in the West other than Bush et al giving a damn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaddafi, you're about to go down as the man that revolutionized the entire fucking Western world. It's not just Australia that's in my sights. Here's an Indonesian girl who has something to say:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mr_paul_edwards: what changes would you like to see to your government if you had a voice?&lt;br /&gt;indonesian_girl_without_voice: I don't know what u mean&lt;br /&gt;indonesian_girl_without_voice: Oww,i see now&lt;br /&gt;indonesian_girl_without_voice: I'll say so many things&lt;br /&gt;About poorness,society, and so on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way - to the feminazis who will ping me for calling this woman a girl - SUCK MY COCK (and we'll film it and sell the porn rights to that too - ok?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I saw this conversation in the optunisia room:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Philippine_girl: What is Anonymous doing to help the people of Tunisia?&lt;br /&gt;Random_anon: Sending them free porn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROFL!!! I nearly killed myself laughing. Then I said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kerravon: Hey, is that actually true? Those tor bridges - are they hiding political speech under the cover of massive porn downloads?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(or something like that).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who would have believed that the route to political freedom is MASS FUCKING? Maybe Chavez was right about the revolution being televised live - in about 500 different shades of pink - whoo hoo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I just found out that twitter doesn't allow my tweet to get out. It pretends to tweet, but it doesn't really get out (I can check via alternative source). Fortunately blogger works. So that means twitter is one of the American corporations who are suppressing your human rights. Here's what I tried to tweet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#Free #rape #porn for #Libya from #Gadaffi #Qadafi #Kadafi #Fuckafi http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that I can still have my human rights, could people please spread this tweet by word of mouth instead of relying on an American company to pretend to care about your human rights? I think someone like Russia should offer an alternative tweeting service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.P.S. I also sent a &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=195287683822040&amp;comments"&gt;video message&lt;/a&gt; to the Tunisian people you might like to see.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-8546200355026508591?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8546200355026508591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/8546200355026508591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plan-d-for-libya.html' title='Plan D for Libya'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-7354670814416228002</id><published>2011-02-27T16:49:00.004+11:00</published><updated>2011-02-27T17:32:29.258+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Bush - please tell me your story</title><content type='html'>Open letter to Bush Wilson, Romania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I met you in 2008, as one of tens of thousands (quite literally - I worked on it for years fulltime) of people I chatted to via IRC, I added you to my Yahoo Messenger because I thought you were special - you were from Romania, and I rarely got to meet any Romanian people online via IRC. I did ask you some questions about your life there, and about the revolution. But you wrote to me in English, because it is the only language I am skilled at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately you had both Romanian and English skills, so were able to give me the gist of your story. But I would like to hear your story from the heart. Your life under communism. And then your continued life under "the system". I'd like to see how "the system" treated a little guy in Eastern Europe. I know it's bad enough being a little guy in Australia, but I shudder to think how it was in your country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stories like that are often very sad - especially since under the current system it was not solvable without other changes in power structures that were seemingly beyond anyone's control. But I would like your story to serve as a reference for what life is like under communism. I like to randomly sample data, as that is the scientific method. Just someone who happened to be on IRC one day when I was too. An ordinary guy with an interesting story to tell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To capture the essence of your story, I would like you to give it to me in your native Romanian. That way it will preserved exactly, and we can quibble over the exact English equivalent at a later date. But I want to capture the original passion of your story that can only be expressed in your native language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully your story can be used as a reference for what happens under the cruel communist system, so that perhaps we can say "Never again" and actually mean it this time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scrisoare deschisă către Bush Wilson, România. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut Bush. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Când te-am cunoscut în 2008, ca una din zecile de mii (destul de literalmente - Am lucrat pe ea pentru fulltime ani) de oameni am stat de vorbă la via IRC, te-am adăugat la Yahoo Messenger meu pentru că am crezut că eşti speciale - aţi fost de la România, şi rareori am ajuns pentru a satisface orice poporului român online, prin intermediul IRC. Am făcut vă punem câteva întrebări despre viaţa ta acolo, şi despre revoluţia. Dar tu mi-a scris în limba engleză, deoarece este singura limba eu sunt calificaţi la. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Din fericire, aţi avut atât abilităţile română şi engleză, astfel încât au putut să-mi dea esenta povestea ta. Dar aş vrea să aud povestea ta de la inima. Dvs. vieţii în comunism. Şi apoi a continuat viaţa ta în cadrul "sistemului". Aş dori să văd cât de "sistem" tratat un tip putin in Europa de Est. Ştiu că e rău să fie un tip destul de puţin în Australia, dar eu fior să cred cum a fost în ţara dumneavoastră. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Povesti de genul asta sunt adesea foarte trist - în special deoarece în cadrul sistemului actual nu a fost solvabile fără alte modificări în structurile de putere, care au fost aparent dincolo de controlul cuiva. Dar aş vrea povestea ta pentru a servi drept referinţă pentru ca ceea ce este viaţa sub comunism. Îmi place să datele eşantion aleatoriu, ca este metoda ştiinţifică. Doar cineva care sa întâmplat să fie pe IRC o zi când am fost prea.

They need to revolt against their own sick twisted ideology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note, that as you vanquish evil, I would suggest that as you decide what rights Gaddafi gets, you weigh it up against what rights you would give a beautiful lion that had unfortunately eaten your child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humans have evolved to be extremely sophisticated and savage weapons of death. No other animal comes within a fucking million miles of our species, because we've got brains that are more deadly than anything a fucking tiger can muster up. But with that deadly ruthless power we were born with, we do have the ability to put in extremely sophisticated safeguards to ensure that that power isn't abused. I hope in my life I have proved that self-confessed savage raping racist/tribal beasts can be tamed, and that my life shows that it is in fact technically possible to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then, I will be applauding the brave Libyan soldiers as they storm Tripoli. A credit to the human race. I will be with you in spirit, but hopefully physically I will just be watching you on CNN or whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and to the ASIO security forces who have been hunting me down, but constrained (to some extent) by Australian law (thank god for that!), I would ask that you spend less time on keyboard warriors, and more time investigating credit card fraud. Because from what I've experienced in my life, you're way over-staffed on police to enforce speed limits, and way under-staffed on police hunting down fraudsters. Just saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodbye and good luck Libyans. I'll be keeping a close eye on &lt;a href="http://www.livestream.com/libya17feb"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; until I can't stay awake any longer. Please make sure you make some rap music videos like &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQSPjLyz0fg"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; when you're done so that I have two videos to play in a loop instead of only one. How about one from Iraq too? Looking forward to the Bhutan one as well, as I'm thinking of moving there, since that is the only country in the world with a complete ban on smoking. I'd want to ensure it is a liberal democracy before I go in though. I'll look up the specs of that country later. May need a bit of tweaking here and there? I know Australia we should just dump it in the fucking Pacific Ocean. Oh.

They have no faith in their government and/or they are under threat of terrorist attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have noticed you attempting to get agreement between members of the security council without success. The reason you are not meeting with success is because there is no trust. The reason there is no trust is because of deep suspicion about intent, based on historical precedent, a lack of honesty in negotiations, a lack of transparency, a failure to honestly address tribal affiliations, and a lack of checks and balances to ensure that everyone has protection of their human rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been studying the causes of violence for decades, and have some suggestions on how you can solve this impasse. If I can be of any service to you or any of the people you represent, please note that you can contact me via email and I'd be more than willing to act as a neutral party, as by nature I do not have affiliation with any particular tribe. It would take too long to explain why this is the case, but if you look through recent entries in &lt;a href="http://www.antisubjugator.blogspot.com"&gt;Anti-subjugator&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.mutazilah.org"&gt;Mu'tazilah&lt;/a&gt; you will see that I have spent an enormous amount of effort on trying to ensure all humans have their human rights protected. As I said, I am a genuinely neutral person and not in any way affiliated with any person in any position of power, although obviously I have a political preference within the country I currently reside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I've written to David Wong at www.cracked.com to give a better rendition of &lt;a href="http://www.mutazilah.org/libya.htm"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; than my brain is capable of generating.

Because they have their own hidden agenda.

They set up things called "plausible deniability". When I was trying to help the Tunisians to change their power structure, ASIO cut my internet access. Many documents I wanted to publish, were not published. Luckily Tunisia was still a success. How suspicious is it that my internet can be cut for MORE THAN A WEEK without fixing it. How suspicious is it that it was just during the revolutions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a worldwide conspiracy. All organizations are designed with just one thing in mind - keep the existing power structure. That is why governments try so hard to not break any other power structure in case they get theirs broken too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is all the proof that is required:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sent: Mon Jan 24 22:27  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To:     support@iinet.net.au   Priority:  Normal   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Subject:    internet outage Type: HTML Msg   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Alert:    The users email-address has been added to the addressbook &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello.

People of Libya - please continue your revolution. Do not stop at Libya. Keep going until Australia is free!!! Get whatever allies you need in the fight, and I don't mind if I accidentally die in a bomb strike when you get to me, so long as you took great care. At the end of the day I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees. Because I am an Australian who still remembers what it means to be an Australian. Unlike my current government that just pretends to care about the little guy. They don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourite group - the one that is non-stop about the Libyan revolution, is currently blocked by my government. My government never asked me whether I was happy about that. My government has never once asked me if I am happy. Even if they did ask, I know that wouldn't genuinely listen. Only media pressure can make them listen. The only time anyone in the media ever cared to ask me if I had any story was yesterday when Myles Peterson from the Canberra Times looked at my blog and said there was nothing newsworthy on it. Maybe now that the conspiracy is unmasked he can see something newsworthy? Or is this all just another front for the communists?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12350949-6991575236857880571?l=antisubjugator.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6991575236857880571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12350949/posts/default/6991575236857880571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://antisubjugator.blogspot.com/2011/02/plausible-deniability.html' title='Plausible Deniability'/><author><name>Paul Edwards</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06725273121388481085</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12350949.post-2899272177662277549</id><published>2011-02-26T21:58:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2011-02-26T22:14:26.286+11:00</updated><title type='text'>Friday Prayers</title><content type='html'>Now I know why Muslims hold Friday prayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It gets all the people onto the streets to pray. With a meeting point for all people, it is impossible for a dictator to seize control of an Islamic State. Because the ruler of an Islamic state can easily be overthrown. That ensured the peaceful Islam that existed for so many centuries and was superior to the Christians at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this was a sort of "democracy in action". Basically Mohammed was the first person to introduce a sort of democracy. He made it easy to revolt. Thankyou Mohammed. Unfortunately western automatic weapons were then supplied to the rulers of Islamic States. This allowed the rulers to become bad, because even at Friday prayers, the people couldn't revolt against automatic weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is only cruel westerners who insisted that if the Muslims wanted freedom they should have to rise up "just like we did" which is a complete lie, because they never had to face automatic weapons. This is documented very thoroughly &lt;a href="http://www.mutazilah.org/warfare.htm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since Australia is not currently an Islamic state, I do not have this natural protection from my government. Even if I did, once again, the state has automatic weapons, but I have nothing. My government doesn't allow me to keep weapons so that I can revolt against the government at Friday prayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So even though I am a Muslim (in the Mu'tazilite sect) in Australia I am completely alone and unsafe and insecure. I have a human right to not live in fear. Currently I am in so much fear and I have all the evidence to prove that my government are a bunch of heartless bastards. Read all my previous posts and any Australian - try clicking on that link to Anonymous and also see how the Australian government is so keen to implement internet censorship. Instead of spending so much effort trying to "protect" us from the "nasty internet" they should spend a shitload more time reading the many letters I have already sent them and which they have totally fucking ignored because they don't give a shit about Australian citizens unless they are famous. They only want to look good on TV. They cry on TV to pretend they care. But I can tell you - when I cry, the tears are genuine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I'm scared. People of the internet - please help me. I am so so scared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that in Australia I don't have freedom of religion. My government locked me up when they found out what my religion was, because it wasn't "mainstream". This is documented in previous posts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now so so scared and can't get to Anonymous to find out what the situation is. Someone overseas please help me. I don't care what you need to do to overthrow the Australian government. I can't say the words I want to say, because the Australian government has implemented a whole lot of "treason" etc laws instead of spending all that effort implementing a Bill of Rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm all alone. I am not famous. No-one knows who I am. No-one cares who I am. And I have no legal protection of my human rights from the Australian government. Anybody out there in internet land, please help me, and why don't you do one of those write-in campaigns/online petitions like you did for those Egyptian/Tunisian etc activists? Why don't Australian activists have equal rights to those activists? Why does no-one care about Australian activists like me? Please. Someone. Anyone. God help me. I am praying to you God right now. Please send someone - anyone at all - to come to my assistance. Do not rely on the existing power structures, because they have NO HISTORY AT ALL at even bothering to ASK the little guy what sort of world he would like to live in. These people don't even respond to the screams of Iraqi women being raped by their own government. They sure as hell aren't going to respond to some unknown white guy who no-one at all cares about. Except maybe Anonymous cares. And individuals on the internet - they might care too.

They only pretend to care about others. They spend all their time trying to look good on TV as being "caring" people. But actually, they need the suffering to continue, otherwise they can't show the world how much they "care". When someone who really does care - like Bush - and sends planes to Afghanistan and Iraq to REALLY change the existing power structures, those NGOs actually go out of their way to OPPOSE the liberation of these people. I mean - 85% of Afghans supported being liberated, but these NGOs OPPOSE the action. Instead of just keeping very quiet because they hate war, they actually MAKE AN EFFORT to try to keep the Afghans and Iraqi people ENSLAVED. They couldn't give a shit what the enslaved people think. They never even bother to ask. These people are usually communist fronts too. Even when I meet them in the street and ask them "do you really want to help", they don't want a dialogue with me to discuss strategy. They have their own stupid opinion that makes them remain in a free country looking good on TV, while the suffering continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is only one group that I can trust. Anonymous. I wanted to get access to these anti-government people, but the Australian security forces keep blocking access to the room I am trying to get to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to get to &lt;a href="http://wbe04.mibbit.com/?server=webirc.anonops.ru&amp;channel=%23oplibya"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. This is a Russian domain. I would hope that the Russians could do something to protect their domain from the Australian security forces. Russia - please make it illegal in the UN for any member government to block your domain. Russia always likes to be "another pole". A definitely independent party, armed with nuclear weapons so that nobody can take away your pole. That's great. You refuse to be part of the existing power structures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Russia, please help me! Fortunately I know a couple of Russians on the internet, so I'll ask them to translate this blog entry into Russian for me, so that you understand. Thankyou thankyou thankyou for being independent and nuclear-armed to protect your independence from the horrible collaborative forces who do not genuinely care about others and only pretend pretend pretend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russian Cryllic translation:&lt;br /&gt;Анонимус и Россия пожалуйста помогите&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Так как каждая силовая структура во всем мире пронизана коррупцией и следит только
