Bastards

Steamin’. Even tough-guys protecting the President of the US of A need to let off some steam some time. So while on a job in Colombia it’s obviously very attractive to have some fun with some Latino ladies.

Who can blame them?

Maybe they should not have taken them to the hotel where the US delegation was staying and maybe they should have avoided a pay-dispute. But they are only human, and Latino babes can be really attractive. Mind-altering. Just sayin’.

It’s blending with local talent. It’s a cultural encounter. A Latin journey. Discovery trail.

But in a stupid world of tabloids and boring lives, the hookers-meet-the-protection-squad story got way more attention than the issues at stake at the Summit of the Americas. Issues with solid disagreements between the participants.

World politics and world economics versus hot Latino ladies in little to no clothes. It’s not a competition really. Different leagues for the tabloid-minded viewers.

Human behavior is directed by what’s happening in one’s pants.

Television can be deadly. Really.

911 In South Africa got an emergency call that a 2-year-old boy got crushed by a TV set. The boy did not live to see another day. Death by TV. Breaking news broke the bones. And more.

Heart stopped.

Speaking of stopping hearts. Remember 2011 and the insane killing spree in Norway. 77 Killed by a single person.

Now the trial has started because in a civilized society justice needs to take its course. Right-winger Breivik in the dock. He read out his statement claiming that his acts were based on goodness, not evil. And that he would do it again. He described it as an act of self-defense.

Tell that to the families and friends of the 77 innocent victims!! An act of goodness?!? Getting yourself tooled up with a series of weapons and plenty of ammo, and then randomly starting to shoot at everything that move son that island where youth had gathered for a youth camp. Act of goodness? That’s just beyond planet Mars.

That’s just seriously off the rails. Breivik also claims he was inspired by Al Queda. Extremists of all kinds unite. Muslim fundamentalists and conservative, white-supremacy, nationalist are the same breed of lost souls. They kill innocent people and claim it’s for a good cause. Maybe Breivik should join an Al Queda training camp somewhere in the hills of Pakistan or Afghanistan and go on a killing spree there.

Or the fascists should have a parking lot shoot out with the Muslim terrorist. A full blown battle of insanity. No rules. No standards. No ethics. Just full-blown slaughter and bloodshed.

Would make great reality TV. Die for your insanity. Die for your derailed mind. Die because you can’t face reality. Die because you suck at life. Die because you are not worth the breath you take every second. Just exit.

Human behavior can have a very narrow and dark tunnel vision.

From total insanity and over the edge philosophies to brutal facts about brutal people. Animals in human skin.

It is estimated that a female child in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped than learning how to read.

Kick that. Read that again and stand still for a moment.

One in 3 of 4000 women questioned by an empowerment-organization said that they had been raped in the past year.

The onslaught goes on. A survey amongst 1500 schoolchildren (boys and girls) in South Africa’s most famous township Soweto, showed that a quarter of the interviewed boys thought that gang rape was fun. They call it ‘jackrolling’.

Can you believe that?!? 25% Of these boys think it’s cool to gang rape. Scary. Crazy. Seriously worrying.

In another study by a medical organization;… of adult men, a quarter admitted having raped somebody. And half of those admitting said they raped more than once. This is sickening. Very sickening.

7% Said they had participated in gang rape.

These sick minds in this sick society are responsible for about half a million rapes per year in South Africa. Half a million rapes per year in a nation of 50 million citizens.

Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Chemical castration surely must be considered a punishment for those bastards.

Meanwhile the South African government is discussing how to curb alcohol advertisement. Surely booze is an attributing factor to rapes, but please, focus on justice for the victims. That’s the priority. Get the cops to catch those bastards, charge them, jail them. That should get the energy of government.

These bastards are criminal, sexed up, power hungry beasts. It has certainly nothing at all to do with sexual pleasures. Just the power to brutalize women. Sick minds acting sickly in a sick world. Real, strong justice is the cure.

Human behavior can be sickening beyond eternal vomit.

Throw Out. Longway is a punkrock band from Los Angeles. The lads blend fine rock ‘n’ roll and punkrock together into a well-sounding cocktail. At the core of the band is Brian Longway on vocals and guitar. It’s energetic and rocking. Their last album; “Junkie”; dates unfortunately back to 2009.

Bullets on the campus

The sick, old, frail, Cuban “father of the nation” Fidel Castro met Pope Benedictus in Havana.

No chitchat about cigars or rum, but Fidel asked the Pontif: “What do you do in fact? What’s your job?”

The ultimate icebreaker. The ‘emperor’ of the Vatican visits communist Cuba and the hero of the revolution asks the Catholic leader what he does for a living. Can’t beat that!

I wonder what Benedictus answered. Euh… I rule over all the Christians on this earth (maybe he mentioned how many members he has in his circle of followers). Euh… I try to cover up all child abuse cases by my men of the cloth. Euh… I regularly hold speeches before large crowds in my hometown of the Vatican. Euh…. I regularly go on a visit here and there. Clever move from Fidel to put the Pope in its place. A diplomatic tackle. A classic tale of a hardline Communist rejecting, reasonably politely, the role of a religious leader. It fits with Marxist thinking without a doubt.

I wonder, that evening, if Benedictus yelled at his aides. “Didn’t you brief that Commie idiot?!?” “Doesn’t this old fool really know who I am?!?” “Has Fidel’s mind gone into Alzheimer mode?!?” “Flipping commie bastard!!!”
And then, maybe, he went to pray for the demise of Fidel and his crumbling Commie state. And burned a candle to dispel evil.

Human behavior can be a classic tale sometimes.

Another shooting in an American high school or university or college. This time in Oakland, California.

A deadly shoot-out at a place of learning is now a classic American reality. Part of its worldwide image, next to Mc Donalds, KFC, Coca Cola and Apple.

It’s ridiculous. Sad.

It was at a medical university. I wonder if some students practiced their newly found skills on the wounded. Or was it more like,…. run like hell?

The American psyche of guns and gun-ownership is slipping up too often. The right to own a gun vs the ‘right’ to get wacked by one. Innocently.

The American gun-lovers will again claim that it’s not the gun that kills, but the person who pulls the trigger. It’s a thin-iced argument. Following that train of thought then why targeting alcohol or tobacco ads, when it’s clearly not the cigarette or the Budweiser that gives you cancer or makes you a drunken dumb. It’s the dude or the chick that puffs it, and the dude or chick that drinks it…and gets drunk and acts ‘abnormally’.

Anyway, it’s a debate that will go on and on. And the Constitution will be brought to the table. And the individual rights vs the rights of society. And history. And liberals vs conservative folks. And spin here and there. And during election time, some more emotions will be added.

Human behavior walks a thin line between rights and responsibilities.

Meanwhile, sticking to deadly force, the bloodshed in Syria is just ticking on. More than a year now.

Former UN sec-gen Annan is trying to mediate. The bloodhound in Damascus has now accepted a peace plan to be implemented by April 10th. So he has a few days left to kill all opponents and then claim nothing really happened. A few days to finish the slaughter, clean up, hide as much evidence as possible, buy a new suit, go on national TV, and claim you are a peacemaker at heart. And smile. That’s the tactic. The cold plan.

Then Annan and the UN will say “OK. Thank you.”. The world’s focus will slightly slip to other places (Burma, US elections, Nigerian bombs, Russia’s Putin, Chinese trade,…) which will allow Damascus to hunt for the remaining activists. Those that escaped the onslaught will now be chased, captured and will disappear. Bullet in the head. Shallow grave. And in Syrian history books the uprising of the last year will never be mentioned. As long as the ‘dynasty’ in Damascus reign. The dictator is married to a British wife. Can London not take her passport away? Taking away her British citizenship. And thus denying access to the UK for shopping and medical trips.

Human behavior is a cleaning team with a bucket full of blood.

Coup in Mali.
Another cruise liner in trouble (anybody still risking those holidays?).
Muslim extremist on a shooting spree in France.
Silence on the Greek meltdown.
Early forest fires in Portugal.
London ready for the Olympics.
Senegalese president wanted a third term but got punished by the electorate.
Global warming might lead to champagne cultivation in southern England.
Colombia’s FARC rebels free hostages.
US bounty for a Pakistan militant.
Floods in beautiful Fiji.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s gets a seat in Burma’s parliament.

Human behavior can’t stop the world’s tide.

Throw Out. Pennsylvania’s Wisdom In Chains are releasing today their new album “The missing links”. One of the best bands in the so-called alternative circles of music (I absolutely hate the term “alternative”). Hardhitting. The lads prove that music is above labels and categories and they blend a fine mix of punkrock, Oi, hardcore styles. “The missing links” is released on I Scream Records. A label that many years ago started as a hobby in a small flat in the Belgian capital Brussels, but now has its HQ in California and has become a name to reckon with.
