Turkey bans another writer ... Gobble Gobble!


Turkey is distancing itself further away from the EU. Writer Nedim Gürsel, who is accused of offending offending Islam, is being harrassed by Turkish judicial authorities. His last fiction novel 'Daughters of God' is not winning him many friends in Turkey. I ask myself, does the EU need a country that still has a long way to go to reach a lay government? I am not saying there is no religious problems in Europe, but I believe this is like being turning on the tap during a flood.

About China

modern chinese mao revolution revolutionary art contemporary

News about China ’s troubles within the country are increasing exponentially, not just due to the Olympics but it’s weight in the international community. Parallel to that grows, sinophobia around the western world meanwhile non-western serious and rich countries that are supporting China on their policies, Singapore for instance.

There are governments talking badly about China that are just afraid to lose some votes, and press groups with the doubtable target of informing the world, which gets huge attention from all the media even if all this organizations are quite sinister and not really reliable. Reporters Without Borders are now increasing their activism against China now that Tibet is a riot. However they reported recently Spain as a country where there is an important lack of free press since the government shut down a newspaper that extolled ETA terrorists. These people would rather see 100 Israelis dead than a Palestinian arrested without a proper police report.

Opinions about China should be deeply meditated, forming a proper impression about this country requires an accurate analysis which should include the whole world in it, not just China . This country needs improvement, but doesn't all countries need some? The whole Great China will be soon a more powerful country than USA or the European Comunity. They will reach the so-desired free market economy to be on the same level as Singapore and soon all their big cities will be as rich as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Have to be added it is believed by many that the USA and Europe should move in the same direction or they will just become insignificant. The next century is not ours; time will make Asia right.

China does not mess with anyone outside their borders, they just want to develop their country with their own sweat and blood. Not like Europe that had to colonize half of the planet! The main problem is not China because the global/western monotheist inquisition is not going to tolerate that a non-occidentalized, heretic, different country makes good progress. And that is just aligning half of Asia, Africa and Latin America with China, because people not without reason is tired of the West. We shouldn’t project our western way of viewing entirely different societies against the whole world.

This country must to go towards becoming a technocracy or a unique party democracy such as Singapore. A region as big and populated as China is not going to work with a populist model of democracy like in all developed countries right now, we have confused so easily fulfilling hoi polloi demands for just giving them the show they need. Developed Asian countries have done what had to be done so far, no matter who agreed or disagreed with their actions, they just did the right things.

Often forgotten is that any citizen from a poor region of the world when asked about what he wants and desires, he is going to have this clear: First life itself, then quality of life which in many countries does not go hand-in-hand with liberties. However so far “Confusionist Capitalism” works really good and has no rival.

Osama Bin Laden go back to your cave... please.

Mr Laden is trying to warn Europe to be careful and act according to moral laws. Well Mr bin Laden, from here we tell you to do such a thing and stop acting as a barbarian. This guy is completely gone, he is a populist and just follow trends to get more supporters, any chance he have to be opportunistic he takes a shot and it seems to work for him! What is wrong with people!! We know what is wrong but even though this shouldn’t happen.

And for what does concerns the pope, please shut up, how can you ask for peace without praying for your soul? You should first ask forgiveness for all the acts your institution committed to Arabic countries and the non-Arabic ones too, then you shall have a word. Until then, close your big mouth, you are a hypocrite and a lier. You and your holy truth is not enough.
