    Cry me a River ....

    "Sad face, because that's all the dissent we're allowed."..... By Suburban Inmate Posted Friday 19th December 2008 19:52 GMT

    Suburban Inmate,

    Do not make a prisoner of yourself, for whomever you may identify as having that power over you, does not really have such power and is therefore just a figment of your imagination. It is though a facet of human nature/control programming which can be and is easily used and consistently abused, by probably more/no more than just a few who really should know better/beta, for various selfish and nefarious ends.

    The tide of that flow has changed quite dramatically though in recent times and as it recedes, does IT leave them high and dry and XXXXPosed on the empty beach of their own making. And easy prey for every hungry scavenger and rabid dog of war, which many would posit is Sweet Natural Justice...... Desserts in AIdDesert.

    Total Informational Awareness ..... the Impossible Dream or an ESPecial Application for ProgramMIng?

    The not-so-crazy-as-you-thought-or-think Alien Posit is that it is the Latter, and therefore easily Shared via Hosting Servers with Appropriate and/or Applicable Sovereign Wealth Credentials and Aspirational Future Infrastructures ...... for Pukka Intellectual Property Management of Perception, which is the sort of thing you can read extensively about on Dubai Media City and Mubadala pages.

    You'll hardly find anything in Wacky Jacqui's Noggin to match ITs Scope, I'll gladly wager..... and that may even suggests that the Cosseted Closet of Cabinet Government is also Barren and Intellectually Challenged, as it is being so here done, on these Registered ITThreads.

    HM XPects them to Rise to the Challenge and Engage/Lock Horns or Retire from the Field, Cowed/Bowed/Defeated/Disgraced?

    Hooked and Hopelessly Dependent....?

    "Common Article 3 of the four Geneva Conventions lists prohibited acts by parties to the convention. Such acts are-

    * Violence to life and person, in particular, murder, mutilation, cruel treatment, and torture.

    * Taking of hostages.

    * Outrages against personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment.

    * Passing out sentences and carrying out executions without previous judgment by a regularly constituted court that affords all the official guarantees that are recog-nized as indispensable by civilized people.

    * The provisions in the above paragraph represent a level of conduct that the United States expects each foreign country to observe. " ..... http://wikileaks.org/wiki/US_Special_Forces_counter-insurgency_manual_FM_31-20-3

    That must be uncomfortable reading for some, who may have condoned/turned a blind eye and deaf ear to obvious abuses whilst being signed up to Convention. And the fact that the abuse is tolerated and even sanctioned makes it not even worth the paper it may be written on. But then war is a silly game played by mad men and fools alike at the expense of duped heroes and innocent souls.

    To choose it as an option, whenever there are countless other alternative ploys, suggests a lack of intelligence and/or a national greed/need for foreign resources that a country cannot afford or afford to lose.

    With Afghanistan's major export being what it is, that makes for Junk Bonds for any that would buy Treasury debt .... supporting Attack.
