well, that was odd...just finished a diatribe and i got this message in a red band saying that janus wasn't authorized to post...the post i wrote was deleted when i tried to backspace...and now all the sudden i can post.
hmmm. i guess 'someone' doesn't want me promoting the fact that tomorrow is Robert E Lee's birthday -- at least, perhaps not in the way i did it.
nevertheless, tomorrow is Robert E Lee's birthday...and so, bitchez, happy Robert E Lee day.
MLK Day just happened to fall on this date, this year.
Lincoln turning Lee's front yard into Arlington Cemetery is a far larger slap at a great man & his family tree and points to Lincoln's cynical, tyranical nature.
(Reuters) - Norwegian police are investigating a possible spying operation by a foreign power after electronic devices designed to intercept telephone conversations were discovered near government buildings.
In its own two-month investigation, the daily newspaper Aftenposten detected signals from several surveillance devices that had been placed near the prime minister's offices, the central bank, parliament and major company headquarters.
"We can't exclude the possibility that this is coming from foreign state agencies," said Siv Alsen, spokeswoman for the police's intelligence unit, which will carry out the investigation.
A Norwegian NGO’s exhibition featured paintings of maps that referred to Israeli territory as “Palestine”, reported the Palestinian Media Watch.
The Norwegian government-funded NGO, People’s Aid, held the “This is Palestine” exhibition, which featured paintings by Palestinian children that are now living in Lebanon.
One of the maps at the exhibition, which shows the “borders of Palestine” makes no reference of Israel at all, while another marks the Israeli cities of Haifa, Safed, Jaffa, Acre and Be’er Sheva but refers to them as “the cities of Palestine”. A third map, named “This is the Area of Palestine”, has in writing underneath that it covers the area of “Palestine”, which listed as 27,009 sq kms – the size of Israel.
"...U.N. peacekeepers intensified their patrols on the border between Lebanon and Israel on Sunday night, local sources said..."
Since Israel is still technically at war with Lebanon and Syria, how about the U.N. get the hell out of the occupied territory and stop being Israeli border guards?
There's a reason Austria picked up their crap and left their U.N. guard posts in the Golan a year-and-a-half ago: the U.N. peacekeeping mission there is a total farce. Always has been. Always will be.
Apparently, being seen as 'tolerant' is far more important than reality to certain large segments of the Swedish population. They are willing to sacrifice their women and children to this 'ideal society' grand scheme.
Adding to that, we have this "journalist" vying for the position of "Chairman" on the yet to be formed Universal Speech Code Committee...
"When you preach a doctrine of tolerance, it's sometimes hard to know what to do with satire."
Really? Hard for who? Someone has the right TO NOT BE offended? Do tell...
"Not the easy stuff — the cartoons, literature and comedy that take down celebrity culture, corporate heartlessness, a squabbling government — but the trickier topics: gender, class, personal politics, religion."
I see, my lack of respect for your pre-judged rules & decorum has been breached somehow but now I find your opinion about "the rules of satire" offensive to my freedom of speech, where do I go to file my complaint, to the above mentioned committee where you sit in judgement with other like minded people?
"The country that helped invent the notion of universal free speech has learned to tread carefully. Words and images are parsed, protested and often apologized for."
You desired some model of self censorship and yet you are now uncomfortable with what you see. Is being politically correct and "learning to tread carefully" good or bad for freedom of speech & expression, in your opinion?
"On one side is freedom of speech and expression, which must be protected, because without it we are nothing. The other edge guards the many groups that are or have been victims of stereotype and oppression: Free speech isn't really free if it attempts to endanger others' personal safety or deny them social equality."
How does speech & expression endanger anyone anywhere and who defines what an "attempt" is?
Amazingly good, as always, awesome, great work. Thank you for the art.
