Do not believe for one moment the lies of the immoral mercenaries of the mayoral office. The truth is that in the weeks since the charge was implemented, traffic on all ring roads and major arteries has trebled, while central London has become a scorched wasteland, populated only by foxes and jackals. Yet still millions of innocent people are charged each day for journeys that they have never undertaken.
I wonder how long until some genius from blogspot.com seizes this article as evidence that the Graun really is Saddam Bin Laden's propaganda engine, just like Al Quaeda or Al Jazeera or whateverthefuckit'scalled.
Well, I don't think Arabs are simple minded, but given their history since the middle ages, you can't blame them for having a persecution complex, hence the popularity of conspiracy theories about the West on the Arab street.
I am amused by another theory that part of the idea behind Al-Qaeda or "The Base" is based on Asimov's Foundation series.
Yah, I was being ironic.
The whole Asimov theory is an interesting one too. Apparently his novels are very popular in the Moslem world. But then again, maybe it's all just smoke. After all, you can't really tell much about an extremist group. The Weathermen sounds like an acoustic rock group. Fataa sounds like a dairy product. FARC sounds like a crow. Shining Path sounds like an endorsement for a get rich quick scheme.
I read somewhere that he was killed?
Isaac Asimov?
Isaac Asimov? He died in 1992, of an HIV-related illness, actually.
Finally updated the blog.
On that note, interestingly, someone I heard recently on the Alex Jones show claimed (and it sounds quite plausible) that the way Al-Quaeda is pronounced in Arabic is 'Al-See-Eye-Aye-Da' (IE The CIA). Given the many years Al Quaeda worked for the CIA and that they started them to spread terror in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and other places, it is no big surprise.
Or is it just that Arabs are all simple minded and easily influenced by conspiracy theories (the way they used to say Black people were)?
