“A 10-year-old Palestinian boy was killed by Israeli gunfire….” [The Guardian, 30 July 2008].
In early June I dropped off one of my business cards which included guidance to my Facebook page at a synagogue in Caulfield, Melbourne. About a 3 months ago I sent an email to Isreal’s president, prime minister and foreign minister with exactly the same information.
“It’s the end of the world as you made it” I wrote.
There is no word to describe their behaviour since that email was sent.
Unforgivable just doesn’t cut it.
“I have made mistakes and I regret it,” said [Ehud Olmert]. [The Times, 31 July 2008]
I wouldn’t have put it that way, Ehud.
“The body of a 19-year-old Palestinian shepherd was found in a ravine, with 20 gunshot to his neck, in a remote area of the West Bank, at the weekend”
The Irish Times, Monday 29 September, 2008.
On the afternoon of Thursday 28 February, 2008, a group of Palestinian boys were playing football on some open ground near their homes in the Gaza Strip. At around 3.20pm, an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at the boys, killing four of them instantly and seriously injuring another three. The four dead boys were Omar Hussein Dardouna, aged 14, Dardouna Deib Dardouna, aged 12, Mohammed Na’im Hammouda, aged 9, and Ali Munir Dardouna who was just 8.

Leonard fucking Cohen
September 27, 2008
Where do you get off writing a song like Suzanne? And MAKING FUCKING MONEY from it. And as for that Hallelujah no wonder there has been so many covers done of that song. I am quite sure that your version is the worst of them. That song deserves true passion and if there is one thing that you Jews lack it is that. It’s my song now. I wrote it. And you will give me all your fucking money too (ask Rupert). But not before you pay back every single artist that has ever paid you royalties. Then you will give Suzanne to James Blunt. It is his song now. He wrote it. And the rest of your life’s work now belongs to the most beautiful man on Planet Earth.
W. Axl Rose.
Once you have done that you can fuck off and die.

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and cry
Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine
She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o’ mine
When you’re talkin to yourself
And nobody’s home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)
So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what’ll happen to you baby
Guess we’ll have to wait and see
ONE, TWO
Old at heart but I’m only 28
And I’m much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it’s getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don’t know how you’re s’posed
To find me lately
An what more could tou ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me
Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn’t hesitate
If I’m to find my own way out
Still talkin’ to myself
and nobody’s home
(Alone)
So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what’ll happen to us baby
Guess we’ll have to wait and see
When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I’ll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I’ll get it right next time
An now that you’ve been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You’re back down on the ground
And you don’t talk so loud
An you don’t walk so proud
Any more, and what for
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I’m out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn’t show give it time
To read between the lines
‘Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We’ve ever known’s here
Why must it drift away and die
I’ll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I’ll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
Without you
I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we’ve ever known’s here
I never wanted it to die
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time…on your own
Do you need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…
on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone
I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time…on my
own
Sometimes I need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…
on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don’t ya think that you need somebody
Don’t ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one
You are the most beautiful man on Planet Earth Axl Rose.
(and I reckon my old mate Greg Mangan would agree)

15 Styles of Distorted Thinking
September 27, 2008
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3y_ICG_GjI
Filtering
You take the negative details and magnify them, while filtering out all positive aspects of a situation. A single detail may be picked out, and the whole event becomes colored by this detail. A single detail may be picked out, and the whole context, isolated fromall the good experiences around you, you make them larger and more awful than they really are.
Polarized Thinking
The hallmark of this distortion is an insistence on dichotomous choices. Things are black or white, good or bad. You tend to perceive everything at the extremes, with very little room for a middle ground. The greatest danger in polarized thinking is its impact on how you judge yourself. For example, you have to be perfect or you’re a failure.
Overgeneralization
You come to a general conclusion based on a single incident or piece of evidence. If something bad happens once, you expect it to happen over and over again. ‘Always’ and ‘never’ are cues that this style of thinking is being utilized. This distortion can lead to a restricted life, as you avoid future failures based on the single incident or event.
Mind reading
Without their saying so, you know what people are feeling and why they act the way they do. In particular, you are able to divine how people are feeling toward you. Mind reading depends on a process called projection. You imagine that people feel the same way you do and react to things the same way you do. Therefore, you don’t watch or listen carefully enough to notice that they are actually different. Mind readers jump to conclusions that are true for them, without checking whether they are true for the other person.
Catastrophizing
You expect disaster. You notice or hear about a problem and start “what if’s”. What if that happens to me? What if tragedy strikes? There are no limits to a really fertile catastrophic imagination. An underlying catalyst for this style of thinking is that you do not trust in yourself and your capacity to adapt to change.
Personalization
This is the tendancy to relate everything around you to yourself. For example, thinking that everything people do or say is some kind of reaction to you. You also compare yourself to others, trying to detirmine who’s smarter, better looking, etc. The underlying assumption is that your worth is in question. You are therefore continually forced to test your value as a person by measuring yourself against others. If you come our better, you get a moment’s relief. If you come up short, you feel diminished. The basic thinking error is that you interpret each experience, each conversation, each look as a clue to you worth and value.
Control fallacies
There are two ways you can distort your sense of power and control. If you feel externally controlled, you see yourself as helpless, a victim of fate. The fallacy of internal control has you responsible for the pain and happiness of everyone around you. Feeling externally controlled keeps you stuck. You don’t believe you can really affect the basic shape of you life, let alone make any difference in the world. The truth of the matter is that we are constantly making decisions, and that leaves you exhausted as you attempt to fill the needs of everyone around you, and feel responsible for doing so (and guilty when you cannot).
Fallacy of fairness
You feel resentful because you think you know what’s fair, but other people won’t agree with you. Fairness is so conveniently defined, so temptingly self-serving, that each person gets locked into his or her own point of view. It is tempting to make assumptions about how things would change if people were only fair or really valued you. But the other person hardly ever sees it that way, and you end up causing yourself a lot of pain and an ever-growing resentment.
Blaming
You hold other people responsible for you pain, or take the other tack and blame yourself for every problem. Blaming often involves making someone else responsible for choices and decisions that are actually our own responsibility. In blame systems, you deny your right (and responsibility) to assert your needs, say no, or go elsewhere for what you want.
Shoulds
You have a listt of ironclad rules about how you and other people should act. People who break the rules anger you, and you feel guilty if you violate the rules. The rules are right and indisputable and, as a result, you are often in the position of judging and finding fault (in yourself and in others). Cue words indicating the presence of this distortion are should, ought, and must.
Emotional Reasoning
You believe that what you feel mustt be true-automatically. If you feel stupid or boring, then you must be stupid and boring. If you feel guilty, then you must have done something wrong. The problem with emotional reasoning is that our emotions interact and correlate with our thinking process. Therefore, if you have distorted thoughts and beliefs, your emotions will refelct these distortions.
Fallacy of Change
You expect that other people will change to suit you if you just pressure or cajole them enough. You need to change people because your hopes for happiness seem to depend entirely on them. The truth is the only person you can really control or have much hope of changing is yourself. The underlying assumption of happiness actually depends on the thousand of large and small choices you make in your life.
Global labeling
You generalize one or two qualities (in yourself or others) into a negative global judgement. Global labeling ignores all contrary evidence, creating a view of the world that can be stereotyped and one-dimensional. Labeling yourself can have a negative and insidious impact upon your self-esteem; while labeling others can lead to snap-judgements, relationship problems, and prejudice.
Being Right
You feel continually on trial to prove that your opinions and actions are correct. Being wrong is unthinkable and you will go to any length to demonstrate your rightness. Having to be ‘right’ often makes you hard of hearing. You aren’t interested in the possible veracity of a differing opinion, only in defending your own. Being right becomes more important than an honest and caring relationship.
Heaven’s Reward Fallacy
You expect all your sacrifice and self-denial to pay off, as if there was someone keeping score. Youfeel bitter when the reward doesn’t come as expected. The problem is that while you are always doing the ‘right thing’, if you heart isn’t really in it, you are physically and emotionally depleting yourself.

Thanks Tracey. You just saved humanity.
“About an hour and a half ago we’ve had no official explaination police estimate some three or four hundred people they just they just got out and walked. God!! We’ve gotten confirmation we cannot find anyone. I’ve never seen anything like this.”
I wrote on one of my Facebook ‘Notes’ that I never really seriously considered suicide. I lied. I tried alright. Boy did I try.
Four times.
I am the only person God has ever saved from overdosing on Ecstacy / Manna.
It nearly happened again, humanity.
But this time there would have been no books, no songs, no parables.
No hope.
Just another statistic. Yet another wasted life.
This Jews nearly got me again, my friends. They nearly got me again.
And I have never ever done a thing wrong in my entire life.
Welcome to Planet Guans, Humanity. Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay. But remember …

Fucking Isrealis
September 26, 2008
You just stay cool. Do not move. Do not even THINK about fucking this up for the rest of US.
Here’s a little reminder of something I wrote a couple of months ago, actually:
Adolf Hitler was not evil. He was divine. One of God’s extra special creations. Kinda like me.
SMITE
And this was from earlier today:
[you are] so ridiculously insignificant compared to God. A thunderstorm is created as easily as blinking an eye. Can you imagine what will happen if someone tries to take me and / or those who defend me out??? The Holocaust was child’s play for God. It ain’t gonna happen a second time. Not a fucking hope in hell.
Yeah that means YOU Mark Regev.
