…fire and brimstone
Your Eyewitness is truly transfixed by what’s going on in the Mid-East – specifically between Israel and Iran!! You’d have noticed that the killings…genocide…whatever…in Gaza are still going on every day – but they now barely register on our consciousness, innit? By now, the total Palestinians killed have passed 56,000 – but then, back on Oct 7, 2023, Hamas had killed 1200 Jews. Killing 48 times more Palestinians hasn’t satisfied the rule of “proportional response” – has it?? After all, what can a Palestinian life possibly be worth?? Last week, 265 Palestinians were killed, but, as Stalin once remarked, “The death of one person is a tragedy; the death of one million is a statistic.” And Stalin knew a thing or two about killing millions!!
So, let’s move on to how a week ago the skies of Iran were lit up by Israel’s missiles – and Iran then returned the favour to Israel!! So why did the Israelis hurl all those missiles into Iran?? Well…duh!! To keep all of us in the world safe from the nuclear bombs the Iranians were on the verge of making!! They’ve been enriching uranium for years to get the stuff that can then go KABOOM!! It’s almost as dangerous as that fella from Iraq – Saddam Hussein – who’d created “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD) and so had to be taken out!! But he’d been so cunning that we still haven’t found the said WMD!! So, the Yanks still have the burden of keeping an eye on them – and take their oil while they’re at it!!
Israel, on the other hand, has over a HUNDRED nuclear bombs – but heck, they’re responsible folks, aren’t they? Look how they’ve managed the Palestinian situation!! Can you imagine nuclear bombs in the hands of Iranians?? They were only the world’s first superpower in 500 BC!! Naaah!! So, the Israelis went back to their Bible for inspiration and found in Genesis that “the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah (real BAD PEOPLE!!) brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”
Missiles are the modern version of fire and brimstone. But it would seem that the Iranians – who also use the Jewish texts – decided that they should send over their own fire and brimstone!! And so, it goes!! As to where all this will end, it is anybody’s guess. So, your Eyewitness guesses the Yanks – to prove that they’re the lone superpower standing – are gonna have to step up to the plate (an American baseball term, thank you!!) and bomb Iran into the Dark Ages!!
In the meantime, they’re contemplating assassinating Iran’s leader!!
…sabotage
There’ve been persistent complaints that the PPP controls the Police Force. Not the PPP GOVERNMENT – which through its Home Affairs Minister has AUTHORITY over it – but the party itself!! They might be confusing the PPP with Burnham’s PNC – which had the entire Police Brass attend its Biennial Congresses to swear allegiance to the Kabaka!! But we know that authority doesn’t translate into control, do we?? Like, for instance, kith and kin relations!!
This point was conclusively made last Friday night at the Leonora Track and Field Stadium over in Reg 3 – with the President not so incidentally living in its environs. The PPP was hosting what was billed as its “biggest fundraiser ever” – with Pressie and his VP hosting thousands and thousands of the party faithful!! And guess what? After having experience with these kinds of affairs hundreds of times – the police decided to create such a traffic snarl that Reg 3 commuters took an additional FOUR HOURS to reach home.
And be pissed at the PPP!! Enemy action!!
…symbols
Seems like one of the new parties making up the 28 that showed up at GECOM to be briefed needs to be informed they can’t poach a symbol used by another party. The Jaguar was registered by ROAR!!
