Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Bersh Rally and Kerismuddin (extracted from previous posting - 9/5/09)
Saturday, July 02, 2011
So is the Bersih Rally against National Security? The events below happened some time back. The perpetrators are still walking free. Were not the incidents below provocative? Were they not against National Interests? Were they not threats against National Harmony and Security? Extreme double standards are the norm when they cannot face the truth. Where is the rule of law, fair play and justice? Some people are more equal than others, Animal Farm is synonymous to the current situation. You do the maths.
Everyone knows who is Kerismuddin, he is the guy who single handedly caused the downfall of the BN in 5 states. He forgets that he underwent a depression. They, the authorities want this video clip taken down, where Kerismuddin defends bigots and extremists. This video clip is here to stay: Kerismuddin or Cowmuddin's obfuscation. He talks about pig heads. Which is not even relevant. Look at his hypocrisy oozing from his orifices. Not forgetting that the Police did not raise a finger to stop this protest. He defends the rights of these extremists to protest.
The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has requested independent news portal Malaysiakini to remove two 'provocative' videos, including the footage of the controversial cow-head protest, from its website."These videos contain offensive contents with the intent to annoy any person, especially Indians. They need to take down this video clip, the Indians are not voting for the BN in the upcoming by election in Bagan Pinang. This is an "own' goal for the 'B End'. The opposition should use these clips to send a strong message that the BN does not practise the '1Malaysia' bullshit.
As an Indian it disturbs me that the NST, the Star and the other Malay Dailies especially did not carry this article. MCMC is now joining the government in curtailing our right to proper information. In this case there were reports that the group concerned even said they were prepared to shed blood. Instead of letting everyone know what happened, condemning such action, and prosecuting these people after the issue has been properly reported, so that the people will know that there is no malice which this government refuses to do, the MCMC seems to have joined this government and Hishamuddin in particular to hush things up. Malaysiakini
Well, well, well. What do you know, Kerismudin, Mukhriz, Khir Toyol say that the demo is just harmless fun. Now MCMC indirectly admits it is " indecent, obscene, false, menacing, or offensive in character with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any person". So AG, what are you waiting for?
Whilst at the cow head protest, it has been two months since Joachim and Sudhagaran Stanley lodged a police report against Al-Islam for its ‘investigative journalism' and desecration of the Holy Communion. They submitted two letters to the police requesting the status of the investigations. They were told that investigations had been completed and that the investigation papers have been submitted to the attorney-general's chambers.What is stopping the attorney-general from pressing charges against them? The Catholic Lawyers Society had handed over a memorandum to the home ministry urging the authorities to take action. But till today still no action has been taken by the authorities and the government. Al-Islam is linked to Umno. Al-Islam Magazine is published by Utusan Karya Sdn Bhd (anak Syarikat Kumpulan Utusan).
In Nov 2006 in Silibin, Ipoh, nearly 500 Muslims gathered outside a Catholic church after a false claim by the mufti of Perak Harussani, that Muslim students were to be baptised by national mariner Azhar Mansor, they, the Muslims terrorised the congregation. Years have passed, and till today still no action has been taken against the mufti. Till today, there is no action taken against those involved in the recent ‘cow head' protest. In fact, the Home Minister, Hishamudin has thrown his support behind those who organised the protest, and even held a press conference together with them. Malaysiakini.
