Though the Heavens Fall


“Let justice be done, though the heavens fall”… was perhaps one of the most orientally entrenched philosophy's ever to have been used and propagated by occidental sociologists. I believe the Latin verse for it is “Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum”. The beauty of using and hearing it by a glass of wine, or in some political gathering for that matter, is indisputable but the problem with this philosophy however, is the immensely difficult task of inducing the will of implementation.

The “Kahrizak” detention center in Tehran witnessed the death of three election protesters in Iran in June 2009. After having been closed immediately, over a dozen officers and prison guards were arrested and put on trial. Last week it was announced 2 of these guards have been sentenced to death and 9 others sentenced to longer prison terms as 1 guard was acquitted. The inhuman and unspeakable act by any standards was massively and rightfully echoed and reported throughout the world, sometimes a bit exaggerated but even the exaggeration was understandable even purposely tolerated. However, a year on and the perpetrators have now been sentenced, but hardly reported. The BBC who spent pages and pages with different star reporters analyzing the events following the “Kahrizak” tragedy, only mentioned the sentencing once “live” and a day on its site before archiving it into oblivion, the article came with so many question marks in it, that a neutral reader would lose interest even reading the article onto the second paragraph.

The actual message one might want to add, is how the western democracies justify their inaction on “Abu-Gharib” and “Guantanamo”, “Bagram Prison” and the “Basra” detention center, where demonstrably tortures, rapes, sexual harassments and murder took place…… We all know in what a ridiculous manner justice prevailed for the victims of these places . This hypocritical approach by the western judiciary can only be explained as political. The phrase “Rule of law” has become a very selective entity, and if we don’t follow up on the crimes committed by the western forces within the last 10 years of war, then this wanton apathy shall, as proven on different eras of time, inevitably come and haunt the hard won stability of our so appreciated western civilizations.

I have to say some of the sexual harassments in these western sponsored camps were such that one would think them to have consumed a special training at some Catholic youth camp before being dispatched to the ME.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T...

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ...

Vaccinating Egypt !

Image
This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ...
