I’m sorry Kimbo, but if your version of acting like a man is engaging with other Christians in the manner you did in my example, it is not Biblical manhood you are promoting. I will not stoop to your level.

The Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, has released a grateful video, where they openly thank the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which the US has touted as a “moderate opposition group”, for supplying them with US-made anti-tank TOW missiles (“Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided”).

A recently released video shows an Al-Nusra Front field commander thanking the FSA commanders for giving his forces TOW missiles, according to a report released by the Iranian news agency FARS.

The agency reminds readers that the two groups, the Al-Nusra and the FSA, formed an alliance in March, the Army of Conquest, or Jaish al-Fatah in Arabic, to fight against the forces of President Assad.

Since then, they have fought together “at almost every single battle in Aleppo, Lattakia, Hama, and Idlib Governorates of Syria.”

Through this alliance several militant groups like the Al-Nusra Front and the Ahrar al-Sham movement have been given access to FSA’s US-made heavy weaponry, which has been supplied to the militant group by the US, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

According to the agency’s estimates, Saudi Arabia sent 500 TOW missiles to Al-Nusra directly last month…

http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20151123/1030564574/alnusra-us-anti-tank-weapons.html

…Obviously, this is the very definition of absurdity. It would be bad enough if the US were supplying TOWs to anyone in Syria. But this is Washington and Riyadh handing anti-tank missiles to forces that are firing them at the Iranians who are operating under cover of Russian airstrikes. Just to drive that home: the US is waging war against Iran and Russia with but one degree of separation.

That’s the big picture.

But as mentioned above, this is also ridiculous because The Pentagon is killing the same people in Syria that the US-trained Iraqi army depends on to rout ISIS across the border in Iraq. And when we say “the same people”, we mean the exact same Shiite militias. Every Iran-backed militiaman that’s killed in Syria by a US-made weapon is one less militiaman that will return to Iraq to fight ISIS, which is of course fine with Saudi Arabia and Qatar because they’re opposed to Iranian influence in Baghdad in the first place.

Finally, the idea that the US is fighting al-Nusra in Syria is not only untrue, it’s actually the complete opposite of what’s really going on on the ground.

Hopefully no one from al-Qaeda ends up firing a TOW at a Paris cafe.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-11-23/new-video-grateful-al-qaeda-thanks-us-supplying-anti-tank-missiles

Not that the murderous neocon bastards in Washington who designed the policy would care if they did fire a TOW into a cafe. In fact they’d be dancing in the streets, praising Satan, their “God.”

Wonder how the US taxpayers feel about their weapons they paid for being given, not sold, but given, to the same group that killed over 3,000 of them 14 years ago?

They probably just go:

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Don’t they.

Aren’t sheeple stoooooooooooooooooopid.

And here’s one of the few wise US politicians talking to a neocon presstitute on this very subject.

‘Devastated’ Family Buries Hadar Buchris in Jerusalem

‘I don’t know what I’ll do now,’ says sister of 21-year-old killed Sunday in Gush Etzion, as their father mourns ‘our dear, beautiful Hadar’

Hundreds of people on Monday paid their last respects at the Jerusalem funeral for Hadar Buchris, 21, who was killed Sunday in a stabbing attack at the Etzion junction in the West Bank.

So let me get this straight, your “strict rule” of not engaging with me means…you continue engaging with me…even though your posts say you aren’t.

All very confusing, and I think I am on firm ground by saying I’m not the only one who is confused by what your “strict rule” means. “Let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes’, and your ‘no’ be ‘no'” (Matthew 5:37).

Anyone else who can put an end to the confusion from this )double-minded person?

The posts I read by you seemed to indicate you felt you had a profound sense of superiority over Kimbo.

Perhaps his reaction was more based on a bit of indignation toward that attitude.

Kimbo seems to be able to offer fairly well reasoned and civil discussion with most people here, even earning a measure of respect among some of those more hostile to his world view.

Perhaps you should think more about what he is saying.

A question for the class: Does quoting someone’s emphatic and explicit “strict rule” to them, and seeking to hold them to account to it when they seem to repeatedly break it…qualify as “you have no intention of doing anything other than making personal attacks”?!

Strange…

Reid,

I’m a little confused. You talk about “murderous neocon bastards in Washington” in your 4:30pm comment, but in your 4:19 you post an article praising Russia for their indiscriminate bombing, while disparaging the US for dropping leaflets before bombing, and not dropping most of their bombs on their various targets. I would have thought with that therefore Russia’s actions are far more murderous than that of the US when I compare both of those comments of yours.

Good old LaudaFinem strikes yet again, shedding sunlight on a topical issue where our useless, idiot, pathetic, cowardly and very very stupid moronic media, utterly, yet again, fail to, in any and every single way possible. This time, explaining the background to the aussie deportations: the vital why, not the what, but the why. The critical and crucial element to the issue that, yet again, our vapid Fourth Estate not just glosses lightly over but completely fails even to mention, let alone explicate in detail. A task that this intrepid overseas website does again and again and again and again. It’s one of the best news sites in NZ. Go there, if you haven’t already.

Sure Shunda, I would be happy to do that. Did you have anything specific in mind?

One thing I can think of is the Prosperity Gospel which I think is a dangerous and destructive distortion of Biblical teaching.

Reid,

It’s not so much sully my eyes, as waste my time. That’s why I’m asking you as to how you can reconcile the actions of the US and Russia, calling the more careful approach “murderous” while as the indiscriminate bombing of the Russians gets a free pass. In other words, I’m more interested in you than your sources right now.

Witness, the baaaing seems to be a reaction to the logical dismemberment of Reid’s sources and points of view over the last while. It’s been a gradual progression. As for Reid’s views on Jews, best not to go there.

BTW, I thought you conducted yourself well (with a few slipups) in your recent exchange with Kimbo. He’s very much the “I’m going to pick an argument with you” type of guy. Seems to enjoy them.

Sorry Kimbo – that’s the very strong impression that I’ve gained of you the first time I met you online, and that is the impression that’s confirmed multiple times, even though you’ve stopped doing it with me now.

Thanks, Shunda barunda, but not exactly. Shawn ultimately had that effect on me with his brazen and childish refusal to follow a simple courtesy, but my problem with Witness is a bit different.

I’m haven’t used the words “pious”, “sanctimonious”, “ignorant”, “ungrateful” and “hypocrisy” to describe his words lightly, even though some around here are interpreting them as personal attacks. I’ve encountered plenty of Calvinists who have also tried it on as a veneer to cover a lack of spiritual and mental substance. Witness’ cavalier dismissal of the fruits of biblical scholarship (and I explained clearly in detail why I considered it hypocritical, ungrateful and capriciously selective)…then bombarding us all with texts from Bibles the same scholars have worked hard to produce is not the sort of thing I tolerate.

And instead of taking the attitude that if he had examined himself he would have no need for others to examine his attitudes…his response was to take that as a personal attack…and ramp up the veneer of pious sanctimony to cover it. Stuff like (GD, November 23rd, 2015 at 6:38 pm),

..And when the theology falls over you use modernist Biblical “scholarship” to trump the authority of Scripture. And while I use modern translations when posting here, I use the KJV and the NKJV for study and devotions. Modern “scholarship” is heavily based on assumptions, assumptions we should question.

About Mark 16: 10-20?! I mean, come on! A host of “conservative” scholars will tell you…there is probably no way it is part of the original Gospel. But, yYeah, ok. Let’s just throw the Apochrypha and the Gospel of Thomas in as well, shall we, if we are going to ignore folks with clear expertise?

Get’s my spiritual gag reflex going every time! 😉

Thanks Lucia. I appreciate that. This is actually my first time on a secular blog. Until now I stuck to Christian ones, so it’s a bit of a learning experience. The tone here generally is very different. Now I have to run or I’m going to be late for work!

Didn’t anyone ever advise you not to start a conversation off with the words, “I’m sorry”…you’ve got nowhere else to go! 😉

No offence taken. Probably sums me up over a certain few topics – and sorry(!), but Roman Catholics claiming they and/or other Christians are persecuted in our current Western context, or that Rome’s version of truth deserves to be especially considered in a non-sectarian context is one of them.

As are Pentecostals.

Apart from that I’m a curious guy, who, if I engage with you in what seems a contrary way is because I’m kicking the tyres to see what you come back with to see if there is any substance to your views. is how I like to challenge my prejudices.

But others, including you, are free to call it as they see it.

You almost have that back to front Lucia Maria

The Russian campaign in Syria has been to rpovide air support to the Syrian Arab Army (you know the “boots on the ground” thing) as they retake territory in the hands of “rebel forces”

In Western spin these are the so called “moderate rebels” in fact they are Al Nusra and ISIS recognized terrorist oragnizations.

Since Paris and the G20 where VVP openly accused some G20 members of funding ISIS Russia has escalated, in particular taking out convoys of oil tankers, leading toi the question as to why the USA and its coalition who have been illegally bombing in Syria for over a year have not done this

So now the USA has started attacking these convoys too and in a moment of sheer hilarity Russin video of such an attack was presented to the gulliable American public as an American attack.

The sad reality is that though the USA has said it is fighting ISIS in Syria it actually has been fighting the legitimate Syrian Government in violation of international law and norms and they are pissed that they have been exposed and even more pissed that they cannot replace Assad with a quizling who will betray own his people for power.

Look at Libya Lucia Maria – a NATO crime that will live in infamy forever

And the bastards are trying to escalate in Ukraine again

The most interesting paragraphs from an interview with Viktor Orbán on Russia and Putin:

So the Russian-Hungarian relationship is not black and white. Historically, economically it’s very complicated. But I am not an ideologically-led person to the Russians. I try to have a common sense, reality-based policy. The only way if you would like to have a good [relationship] with the Russians is power policy based on reality. If you would like to have a relationship with the Russians based on principles it will never work. The European principles and the priority list of the principles are totally different than the priority list of the principles in Russia. It’s impossible to harmonize. So put aside principles, ideologies and look at the interest, and find the common sense realpolitik agreements. That’s the Hungarian approach.

It’s not shared by many. There are some countries who openly oppose it, like the Polish, who are our greatest friends anyway in Europe. And there are some countries who like to, who appear as opposing, but in fact they doing even more than we do. That’s the German policy.

Wishful thinking ABS.

What’s happening right now in reality is the UKUSI (UKUSA + Israel) are using Paris to engender fear in the sheeple so as to give Nato an excuse to support ~~“the moderate terrorists”~~ ISIS to reinstate the murderous bastard neocon plan to extinguish Assad. Naturally the murderous bastard neocons are also incompetent fools and they’re endangering global security because the only way for them to do this is to prevent the Russians from striking their ISIS allies where it hurts by (a) taking out the Russian ground-air defence systems already emplaced in Syria and (b) embedding Western troops amongst ~~ISIS~~ “moderate terrorists” so there’ll be coffins landing at Western airbases because of Wussian bombs.

Not to mention the odd interdiction shoot-downs.

Evil isn’t it.

This is the plan you sheeple morons bleat for.

Hope you’re happy, fools.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I agree with a lot of what Reid says but let’s say his style of delivery doesn’t endear him to a lot of people here.

Deliberate ABS. I’ve been saying the same things here since this blog started. Until January this year, I was polite, except toward murderous neocon bastards. Then I decided, why not. Nothing else works. Who cares. Why not just show contempt for the idiocy I see on here from many 24/7/365. And the point is, not that I’m nasty, not that I’m arrogant, but that it is idiocy. So call it for what it is.

The thing is, you don’t what would have happened had America not acted. Saddam was training thousands of terrorists before he was taken out. The beginnings of ISIS came from those trainers and trained. Assad is also playing the same game as Saddam and Russia.

Lucia Maria,
Have you noticed that Europe is being flooded with refugees?

Have you noticed that these refugees originate in places that have all been subject to aerial bombardments in the past few years?

And do you know who did that bombarding?

Hint: It wasn’t a Nation that uses the cyrillic alphabet on a daily basis.

The plan to topple Assad goes back a way and 8it has nothing to do with advancing the cause of freedom and democracy or of making Europe or the USA safe from terrorism, which it hasn’t of course and anybody who thinks it has is seriously deluded

No I don’t. But at a guess the beige badger almost always gets the wrong end of the stick and that’s fine. For example with his rape culture meme. However what’s not fine is he then gets on his high horse just like his hero and mentor Dunne. So not only is he wrong but he’s also self-righteous. Which also, I suspect with LA, would be fine too. But where he then crosses the line is that in his roaring galloping self-righteous mentalism (which is in fact, logic and all things Holy actually totally incorrect every whichway you can imagine), he then picks a personal target which in his insanity personifies his outrage over “x” and in his weak, pathetic and most importantly dishonest disengenuous proceeds to do his level best to take down his target, using whatever means at his disposal.

Of course he’s such a moron it’s like being mauled by an arthritic church mouse with cancer on their deathbed about to die that same evening but even so, because of his idiocy combined with his insanity, the target is invariably innocent, and I think that’s why LA are doing what they’re doing.

Of course I don’t know, I’m guessing. I don’t know them, I have no association with them apart from admiring their contribution to the NZ media fabric which is considerable and if they read this, thank you.

But that’s my theory on it.

FWIW I was surprised to read those posts too. I thought PG is such a profound lightweight, why bother, who cares what he does. I wouldn’t have personally, given the weight of most of the issues they target.

BTW, I know you pointed me to an article the idiot once wrote about me. I’ve never read it and I never will, for the abovementioned reasons. Life is too short to waste time on thinking about thoughts emanating from a fool like him.

Answering you requires going back through one of those links I posted, copying the appropriate paragraphs and then pasting, linking and adding context. Right now I really need to start making dinner, so maybe later. I’m currently limited to off the cuff comments only.

Perhaps Reid could, in the interests of vowel equality, give the E’s or the O’s a hammering next!

Cows don’t try to jump open gates nasska.

That’s why.

Compared to sheeple cows can solve quantum physics and space travel and would get every single Nobel prize for both this and the next century, compared to the collective mind-power were it all combined, of sheeple.

So naturally I don’t want to honour actual sheeple by pretending they’re as brainy as a cow.

They might misunderstimate their total and actual stupidity in the scheme of things, and start thinking things such as: Shillary would actually make a really good POTUS, and such-like.

Then where would we be.

Plus I don’t give a fuck about equality and in my personal life I try to be as evil, cruel and unequal as I can possibly be without getting arrested, just cos I can.

I’m currently limited to off the cuff comments only.

As opposed to…??

Report from Australia. A 10 month old baby has been left with life-threatening burns to half his body. The Sydney 23 year old Atea Te Pania, the mother’s boyfriend showed no remorse when he told police that he put the child in a shower, turned the hot water on and left him there while he went to charge his phone and have a cigarette. The baby also had several bruises on his head and body. Police said the injuries are significant.

The 23 year old has 10 convictions, many for violence over the past 5 years.

Yet another violent ex-kiwi to be sent back across the Tasman to reside in NZ once he has completed his prison sentence in Aus.

Read http://www.laudafinem.com/2015/11/23/new-zealands-labour-party-leader-andrew-little-the-exportation-of-dirty-politics-kiwi-style/ if you haven’t already.

What the heck are we going to do with these guys? There’s going to be hundreds landed here each and every month. For years and years and years. And we can’t deport them. No other country will accept them.

Serious question.

So Turbull gets up in the Australian Parliament to give his speech on Aussie policy re ISIL and the Middle East. According to a radio report he says something like ” ISIL is weak , they have more smart phones than they have guns” —if this report is correct then 2 points :

1. If they are so weak how come they are creating so much fear and havoc? How come the US has been bombing them for about a year and they are still there?

2. Isn’t saying something like that likely to provoke terrorists like ISIL — they’ll be saying ” we’ll show you who is weak “. There are plenty of Aussie’s who have gone to Europe to fight with them.

Turnbull is an idiot.

Charming.

A Christian pastor who hosted Republican presidential candidates a week before the Paris terrorist attack says its victims received divine retribution for worshipping Satan.
Kevin Swanson of Generations Ministries said last Thursday that the 89 people massacred inside the Bataclan theater were “devil-worshippers.” Two weeks earlier, Swanson headlined his own “Freedom 2015: National Religious Liberties Conference” featuring Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal.

[…]

Cruz and Huckabee’s presidential campaigns did not respond to a request for comment about Swanson.

Previously, Swanson has said that gay people should face the death penalty; that the movie Frozen turns little girls into lesbians; and that natural disasters are the fault of godless fornicators.

Criticism of Israel is legitimate debate. Saying the Jews are pedophiles and control the media in the US is just anti-semitism and an 8th strike for Kea for numerous comments above.

Genuine question: what’s a Pharisee?

I started calling Captain Bananas that Nosty when I realised he was behaving exactly as the Jews who say they were but who aren’t behaved toward Jesus. Inciting the crowd to choose Barabbus over Him, for example. Bringing false witness against Jesus for another.

And sadly, Captain Bananas does exactly that.

Like many to most neocons do.

Evil and sad at one and the same time.

Sad because Captain Bananas is not alone and he knows not what evil he does. Unlike his neocon heroes who actually do know exactly what they’re doing. That’s where the evil comes in.

Delusions aplenty, just as the original Pharisees had in Jesus time.

No. Fake Jew. Because Pharisees were Jews. Jews who claimed they were but who were not.

Believe it or not, many conservative US Christians like Captain Bananas really believe Israel represents God’s chosen people on Earth today.

Some of them even want to bring about the destruction of Israel so as to bring about the end times.

Evidently it’s never occurred to any of the idiots that no nation truly under God would act ruthlessly and despicably as we all see Israel doing. Some idiots excuse the nation on the grounds they hallucinate its embattled. Reality is of course it’s not, but the fools can’t, won’t and never will see that.

It’s called cognitive dissonance, because such hallucinations are emotionally generated and have nothing to do with cold, hard reality.

We are Socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions. In the future there must be no ranks or classes, and you must not let them begin to grow in you!

No he’s not actually Lucia, unlike you I’ve met him.

The Republican establishment does not want a bar of him:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/11/23/republican-donors-operative-fueling-new-anti-trump-ad-blitz.html?intcmp=hpbt1

Republican donors with links to several presidential candidates – as well as a prominent GOP operative – are pooling their resources in a new effort to go after Donald Trump and keep the party’s presidential front-runner from winning the nomination.

The most recent bid is a reported “guerrilla campaign” led by a group called Trump Card LLC and run by Liz Mair, former communications official for the Republican National Committee.

Johnboy is a mildly retarded sheep farmer from Wainuiomata. His main interests are bestiality and online jokes. Apart from his lamentable support for Wainui RFC and his deluded refusal to acknowledge the Bellevue as the finest hostelry in the Hutt Valley, he is a thoroughly fine chap.
