Like a rolling stone

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

The sound of 5 gunshots through the South African sky. The kid was handcuffed and lying face down. The cop thought she was above the law and pulled the trigger. 5 Times. Some time back her boss, the national police commissioner, proudly said his men and women in blue needed to “shoot to kill”. Some cops, it seems, are taking that seriously over the edge.

Human behavior and guns can be a very deadly mix.

The wife (or is it former wife?) of former Liberian ruler Taylor is now a member of parliament in the impoverished African nation where her (ex-) husband once roamed and plundered. The husband itself is sitting in jail in The Hague for serious inhuman crimes.

So the wife proposed a new Liberian law that would make homosexuality a prime offense. On the same level as murder. Some people clearly can’t get out of their narrow-mindedness. Stuck like a truck in the mud. No other priorities in this poor of the poorest nation? Some crusade against ’others’.

And at the same time a Ugandan minister storms into a same-sex organization and tells the cops to arrest those evil people. Africa and its one step forward, 2 steps back. And in South Africa lesbians, still today in 2012, get raped to “cure” them of their sexual choice.

Human behavior can be lower than animals’ ones.

Meanwhile the onslaught in Syria continues. Bombing civilian areas. Tanks shelling houses. The dictator only seeing a total crushing as the only way out. Whatever the death toll. Whatever the destruction. Evil is roaming the land without mercy. Without shame. Without regret.

And next door, the Iranian nuke-freak continues on his atomic path. He gladly told the world his scientists made a breakthrough towards the ultimate journey. The finger of the Israeli army probably moved an inch closer to raising full alarm, sending the jets into the skies and bombing the neighbor. Tensions rise (once again).

Human behavior in the Middle East remains based on hatred.

Some booze, lots of prescription drugs and maybe some non-prescription drugs. That’s likely the cocktail of illusions that send Whitney Houston to heaven in her hotel room bathtub. Another wasted life. One more of this, one more of that, lots more of this and add some of that. And then the heart just gives up. Too much abuse. The body is not limitless.

From bodily destruction to technical mutilation.

Somewhere on the lonely roads of South Africa the men in blue stopped a 1976 Toyota pickup and impounded it.
According to the cops only the windscreen was still roadworthy. Yes indeed, amidst the pile of insanity, only the windscreen was still in good shape.

A 5-litre plastic bottle was the gastank! And everything else was just rubbish. A coffin on wheels. Tyres that had seen much better days. Brake pads non existent. Shock absorbers gone. Where there were bolts before, there were some ropes now.
All beyond usage. Gone. Eroded. Corroded. Tangled. Missing. Alternator. Floor mats. Air filter. Door handle. Exhaust. Non-leaking radiator. Tail lights. Seat belts. Mirrors. All would not pass a roadworthy test…. if they were still on or in the car.

And the owner of this Toyota didn’t understand the fuss.

Could be an advertisement for the lifespan of Toyotas.

Human behavior can make us smile sometimes,… amidst the stupidity.

So some new momentum in the US Republican race. Santorum is back and Romney is surprised and on the backseat (for now). Guess that wont be for too long. Romney still has the cash to out-do his opponent. Pump in some more millions. Find some more dirt. Spin some more. It’s only the beginning.

What a waste of money.

The Islamic nutters of Boko Haram in northern Nigeria keep killing and maiming. They wanna take this vast nation (and beyond) back to the stone age. One of their key demands is no education for girls. Just kill all those lunatics!! Once and for all….
Hundreds killed in a prison fire and riot in Honduras. Crazy.

Madman Robert Mugabe from Zimbabwe says he is as fit as a fiddle on his 88th birthday and that he is stronger than Christ. Dictators are too often aging smoothly.

Corruption investigation against the German president. And without a fuss he just steps down to let justice do its thing. That’s the perfect political correctness. Many world leaders could learn from the German democratic model.

Mexican taxi drivers. Chinese ivory poachers. Egyptian judges. Malian refugees. South African mineworkers. Belgian strikers. French politicians. Serbian snow diggers. Zambian football/soccer players. American mourners. Congolese rapists. Indonesian cops. Somali pirates. Palestinian athletes. Iranian nuke scientists. Syrian freedom fighters. Brazilian carnival dancers. English tax payers. Senegalese rioters. Australian politicians. Indian IT gurus. Afghani Muslims. Greek members of parliament. Venezuelan doctors. Yemeni voters. Canadian polluters. French journalists.

They’ve all made their mark over the last days. Fighting for what is right. Abusing power. Struggling to survive. Demanding respect. Killed. Wounded. Angered.

Human behavior is a puzzle. A patchwork of emotions.

Throw out. How do they still do it? The Rolling Stones will open the London Olympics in July this year. They must be on some serious energizers.

We all bleed red

Pump up the volume and get some birth control sorted!

Some recent study suggests that male birth control is possible by blasting a man's vulnerable area (yes there!) with high frequency sound waves. Rock and roll for testicles! Punkrock tunes for dead sperm!

US scientists have conducted experiments which show that ultrasound effectively cuts sperm counts in rats. The equivalent outcome is reversible infertility in humans. This perfect male contraceptive would be cheap, reliable, and have few side effects. But more research is required on this ‘sperm zapping’ technique to really understand its potential and a deeper knowledge of the possible side effects. Free music downloads for birth control!

Will playing death metal give the penis 2 little devil horns? Or Madonna tunes will make your manhood feel “like a virgin”? Will rocking with Bruce Springsteen give your testicles a blue shine in solidarity with the working class? And the Sex Pistols maybe makes your pubic hair green and standing up? And those over the edge dance tunes will for sure make your manhood feel confused and dazed. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones might make you feel sexually liberated like back in the 60s. Sexually liberated but with dead sperm.

The research obviously also opens the door for fashion accessories. Soon to find are boxer shorts with small speakers in that specific location. Or tiny ipod speakers for the manhood. Either direct over the penis or 1 per testicles. Opportunities!!

Human behavior can be some zapping fun.

What’s this BS about Twitter announcing some censorship??!!?? Has China madness taken over Twitter? Freedom of speech and all that is just thrown out of the window?

Amazing. So in the morning raising the Stars & Stripes outside the office building, and in the afternoon implementing some censorship tricks. Cheaters! Turncoats! Double faced liars! First they steal our money through cellphone costs, and then they steal our freedom. United rip off! I hope its CEO bangs a whore in Beijing and gets jailed for life!

Human behavior needs a punch in the face.

Kick that. The only movie ever banned in Britain for blasphemy has finally been approved for distribution,… 23 years after it was outlawed.

The experimental short film ‘Visions of Ecstasy’ features scenes of Jesus being seduced on the cross. If you show that in the USA your house gets petrol bombed. Minimum.

In 1989 Britain's film censors refused to give it a rating - a requirement for legal distribution - on the grounds that a fantasy scene in which St Teresa of Avila sexually caresses the Christ could constitute blasphemous libel.

Blasphemy was abolished as an offense in 2008 and thus the British Board of Film Classification – finally - gave Nigel Wingrove's 19-minute film an 18 rating, meaning adults may view it.

The board acknowledged the film would be "deeply offensive to some viewers," but said it did not breach any current British laws. Suck this Tweeter!!

Freedom of cultural expression!

Human behavior is a blasphemy to its mirror image.

Loosing interest in the Republican race. We know it’s gonna be Romney, so any other little rumble is just a time and money wasting effort. Wondering if Romney’s Mormon-heart would withstand a vieuwing of ‘Visions of Ecstasy’. He probably would need psychiatric help afterwards. And would propose – once (if) president – a whole set of strict rules to curb ‘liberal’ cultural experiences. Burn some candles and pray to get rid of this filth.

Human behavior needs a Romney as compass. At least that’s what Romney thinks. Maybe he should look carefully under all his sofas and under his desk and behind wardrobes if there ain’t some ‘interesting’ affairs from his past still around (sexual and others) before going on a moral compass tour.

Doesn’t the Bible has some passage about throwing the first stone etc.?

But Romney’s journey to Pennsylvania Avenue (that’s his dream of all dreams) is nothing compared to the ongoing onslaught in Syria – with greetings from Russia and China.

How can one veto against such genocidal tactics? You can doubt the Western agendas. You might wanna protect some business deals. But even in the dirty world of world politics is the ongoing, relentless bloodshed in Syria unaccaptable and un-supportable. As simple as that.

Syria’s current dictator is trying to outdo his father’s killing fields from back in the 60s. Guiness book of records attempt in carnage. Gaddafi’s blood tactics look childplay against the terror campaign from Damascus. And there is no end in sight. The end will be the bulldozing of every town with an inch of opponant’s life left. Or even when everybody’s been mowed down these towns will be raised to the ground out of cold revenge. The critics six feet under and their homes erased from existence. History books rewritten. Maps redrawn. This is not an iron fist. This is genocidal delirium. The mad man from Damascus has gone far over the edge where the tunnels get narrower and darker, and where only venom breeds. Where the devil roams.

But one thing these dictators always forget is that the ghosts remain. Memories don’t die. They might fade here and there. They will be repainted here and there. They will be banned for sure. But they never ever disappear. Because the world’s memory cannot be deleted. Have a good look at history and realize. But dictators like the butcher of Damascus never realize because their tunnel is too dark too see. Their mind too evil to contemplate reality.

Memories are the seeds of revenge. Memories can linger for a long time. Underground. In the back of the head and the heart. Whispered. But never forgotten.

The ghosts will haunt. Ask Hitler. Ask Mussolini. Ask Gadaffi. Ask Hirohito. Ask Napoleon. Ask Pinochet. Ask Pol Pot.

The wheels will turn. We all bleed red.

Throw out. The Ducky Boys are back. These Boston lads just released “Chasing The Ghost” on their own label. Mark Lind, Jason Messina and Douglas Sullivan delivered 17 (!!) fine tunes. Now let us hope Mark can convince his troubled brother to record some new Sinners & Saints tracks.
