Alternative Tweets.1

Was tweeting "normally" and suddenly am not allowed to tweet anymore...I write and nothing happens...I tried the troubleshooting part, non applicable...
So until this gets fixed, if ever ---I shall continue my tweets here on this blog...it's going to be 5 Tweets per page...and that's the way I want it.

1 - look at this nonsense. some Octopus psychic is predicting Spain's victory at the world cup. I predict otherwise...after all, these kinds of predictions are psychological manipulations, a sort of self fulfilling prophecy. Not that I want the Nederlands to win, I do prefer Al-Hambra to windmills and Paella to Gouda Cheese...plus the Dutch don't have a good reputation in South Africa, mind you neither did the Spaniards during the Inquisition...Oh well, to hell with them all.

2 - the nice thing about tweeting on my blog is that I have more than 140 chars to express myself...and guess what else, I don't have to read anyone's else shit...

3 -maybe I should write about a post about this - met two Palestinians, two different backgrounds altogether...we talked about Iraq. One made me proud and the other made me sick...

4- I am surprised at myself that I still follow some twitters, some of them stink to high heaven...talk about "social " networking....

5- Iraq is (not so) curiously absent from "social" micro-blogging, apart from one or two who make it a point to remind the world out there that Iraq still exists...but please do tell us about Octavia Nasr or the Flotilla...sickening !

Why ?

Yes why? What for? What does it say about you? What does it say about your countries? What does it say about your institutions? What does it say about your governments, your "culture", your "civilization", your history, your "progress", your "values", your concepts...? Have you ever stopped and pondered these questions? Have you ever stopped and asked yourselves ; how come? How come we are so advanced, how come we are so democratic, how come we are so great, how come we are so free...And how come we allow so much murder, oppression, abuse, go unaccounted for ? Have you ever asked yourself this question ? I was just listening to the BBC World radio. A report from Oxfam - and in your eyes that makes it credible - over 70 % of us Iraqis, no longer have access to clean drinking water. I say no longer have because I remember not so long ago, one could turn on the tap and drink. As simple as that. The report goes on to say that over 50% of Iraqis are u...

Endless Beginnings...

For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten...

Not so Kind...

Image
I am very pissed. I do not have many kind words towards my fellow Iraqis. Let me qualify here, before you start jumping to conclusions. I have no kind words towards that category of Iraqis who gave it away for Free to the Americans and the Iranians. I have absolutely no respect for them, no consideration and zero sympathy. I have zero respect for those bastards living and working in the Green zone. I have total disdain for those who voted and now come meagerly complain about "lack of the promised democracy"..."but we voted" broken record. Sure you voted. You voted for your sects and your wallets. I have absolutely no sympathy for those who applauded and filled their blogs with hurrays "Saddam is gone" and now cry over poor Iraq...and congratulate themselves with cheap words of sympathy coming from the occupier. It took a bunch of your kind to make it happen. Now you have lost it all. I do not want to be too cruel and say you deserve what you are getting be...
