Re: Internet is making fools of 'The Mighty'.

The Internet is making ordinary people aware of extreme wealth that exists.

This knowledge is creating questions that lead to more eventually leading
to protest occurring including direct action.

No longer can those that either have this mentioned vast wealth or those
whom are friendly with them can escape these concerns due to them
being connected with the instant digital connected age; as the public
view this age as being about FREEDOM & Instant Super Fast.

Egypt is the perfect example of this in that mass protest was created
as a feeling rather than the possibly 'old' needed leadership -
'Tip of the Pyramid' conducting the band.
Mohamed ElBaradei attempted to become this figurehead for the
Anti-Mubarak movement but just didn't get it possibly due to being
68yrs old; people didn't want a leader but an organic movement.

The Mob it seems doesn't run on instinct but Twitter;
as seen by the reaction below.




In the days before the Internet; Egypt might have been a little segment
on the news now due to it a Internationalist perspective is emerging.
People demand emotion, then instant 'I want it NOW' attitude &
accessibility through Air-Travel is possible.

A growing number of people in the developed word can via saving income
travel to at least one exotic or distance location within their life-time that
was unavailable to their ancestors.
In the early 20th Century; vacation to Egypt was only for the people with
wealth; now in the early 21st Century my Barber lists
Sharm el-Sheikh along with Hong Kong as his favourite places he's visited.

People that wouldn't normally be connected... are & that's the point.
David Letterman even mocked Hosni Mubarak's speech.      




The lack of understanding of this new Digital Age can be seen in the
manner that Saif al-Islam (Colonel Gaddafi's son) addresses what he
believes is directly to the Libyan population when in-fact it went Global
without the assistance of the state broadcaster.

The Body Language is casual along with words provided.
It seems that even for a young man Saif al-Islam seems to forget that
his people will make direct comparisons with the presentation manner of
President Obama. This compare & contrast can occur due to the Digital age
with people using proxy servers to bi-pass State Controls on the Internet.      

Some experts reaction to Saif al-Islam's speech is rather than calm
the situation in Libya; it's made it worse as he's been shown to be an
embarrassment whom has power.
Thus making their nation appear across the Globe as a foolish joke.

Be warned that the below speech is a disgrace for an individual whom
sees himself as a future leader of a nation.
At least Mubarak stood up & looked like a Leader rather than giving the
impression of an arrogant Sir Alan Sugar licker attempting to survive getting
fired in the 'Board Room' like Saif's does.



Yet, the theme of this Blog isn't just around goings on the Arab World but
also connects with the City that am currently living in Liverpool, UK.

Activists are using Technology as a means of cleverly promoting their
message using humour that's one thing which can't be replicated.

I like the 'Sheep' section of the video as that currently is the question of
what's going on in the UK. Some people just care about themselves
attempting to ignore the current economic & social situation.

I personally feel that it's not yet my time to activity 'get off the bench' &
become a player.
As I've said in previously am going through an emotional awakening as
Science as been my obsession since 6yrs old; its wonders blocked me
from a lot of things. So; am getting use to looking at the world in a new light
even my interaction with Liverpool is changing.

I saw the city as a place of study & work now due to my current employment
situation am being to see it as my home.
Am stuck with it; so the relationship has changed.
Am from the South of the UK & at times I feel that am in another nation not
just a couple of hundred miles north.

Yet, the thing that grabs me is the laugh the jokes the knowledge of life
being cruel yet also ironic. This is summed up in the below Video.

I've got a feeling about Liverpool as a City & a people... something may rise
that might impact the entire nation maybe even the world.

It's intense & unpredictable but always funny.
An enjoyable mystery to me; at the moment.          

Re: Democracy or Demoncracy?

It's been a strange couple of days in the UK; the origins of this is around the notion of freedom.


The UK Government seems displeased that the BBC decided to broadcast 
allegations of corruption around FIFA - 'Fifa's Dirty Secrets'; just before that organization votes with a possibility that could bring the World Cup 'home' to England.


Then the release of confidential American State Department reports by Wikileaks. Hilary Clinton -  Secretary of State response to the public exposure was an... "... attack on America's foreign policy interests".  


Am sure The UN secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon isn't going to accept this 'logic' as according to Wikileaks, America hacked (the irony) into senior UN Staff's E-Mail's & IT Systems.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cables-spying-un 


Now the American-Anglo 'party-piece' is constantly about the promotion of freedom which can ONLY be achieved via that old saying 'thee rule of law'.


The BBC wanted a response from FIFA around it's allegations that included a confidential document listing 175 payments totalling about $100m (£64m) all 'on the down-low'.


You guessed it, FIFA didn't want to respond.


Yet, I've got a nice connection between FIFA & Wikileaks - Qatar.
The Gulf Nation is determined to be the 1st Muslim Nation to host a FIFA World Cup Finals in 2022.  It's determination is such that they are willing to create new-technology that will transform Solar Energy into outdoor cold air-conditioning that will make playing / training in June - July possible even if outside will be 41°C (106°F) ..!!


For all Qatar's enthusiasm according to those secret Wikileaks memorandums the same place that does major league fund-raising for a 'certain tall fella' that's got a $50million 'price tag'. 
ABC News (America) even had the following headline:
'Qatari Royal Family Linked to Al Qaeda'.
Source: ABC News, 7 Feb 2010


The article by Brian Ross & David Scott mentions...
"Certainly it is well-documented that there is one member of the Qatar royal family that supports al Qaeda," said Rohan Gunaratna, the author of the book Inside Al Qaeda and professor at St. Andrews University in Scotland.


Now for a nation that has such wealth the ease that legal action could be taken against both Prof. Gunaratna & ABC News would be like a Child taking up the offer of if they wanted Ice Cream. Instant with total focus, yet they haven't which is worrying especially when the American Military has its Middle Eastern base in the same place.


What's going on?


That's the question, it seems Qatar are 'all things to everybody' yet what are our leaders that we vote for are saying around this confusing contradiction? Nothing, that's what. 
So, on Thursday FIFA could make an important decision to host a major global event in a nation that a number of wealthy & influential individuals fund the world's biggest group of nut jobs obsessed with making the entire world population convert to Islam by force.


It's not like this information is secret yet this example on a Blog of an ordinary person should convince you the reader that all talk of freedom is simply that talk. 
The rule is if you've got the money then allowances can be made even it creates a twisted relationship that's something like a David Lynch Film called -  Demoncracy. 


Am fed-up of the total hypocrisy & contradiction that's occurring in the world by those that should be respected along with lead society. 
Yet, hope exists in the form of this the Internet something that was initially created for the American-Anglo Military Combo might in time actually be a force for peaceful global improvement via awareness. 
In providing 'light' on the 'darkness of lies'


We just might get Democracy, after all.... perhaps?
