The Kingdom of Heaven .....the film

The Crusaders , or rather ,
the Zionists of the twelth century !

Finally !! and with great delay ,
I saw the film , " Kingdom of Heaven"

and if I may , for a while , become a Film-Critic
I would say that it is the best (historical) film about Jerusalem.

But "best" does not mean "perfect"
and the word perfect is utopian one
and is subject to many and any personal evaluations.

For once the Arabs are not the "bad-guys"
which is a great achievement by
the film-industries-standards .

Secondly , the film shows that there were
good-crusaders and bad-crusaders
and I wonder how could anyone be a "good-crusader" ??
Unless someone would come to Jerusalem unarmed
and would go back home , a month later ....
but that would be a pilgrimage
and not an invasion-robbery-occupation......a crusade.

Never mind this detail , because ,
I cannot re-write history , nor can I design it .

The film has had extremely short dialogues , because,
obviously each word counts ,
in such a controversial and sensitive
part of the East-West-encounters .

One part is deliriously wrong and propagandistic
and probably Zionist also....it is when shortly before
the Armies of Salah ed-Din (Saladin) would break
the walls of Jerusalem to liberate it....
the Hero of that Film.......( a French-man , naturellement !!)
makes a speech to the Europeans inside the city and says :
" none of us was born when this city was taken away from the Muslims
and no soldiers outside those walls (the Arabs) , neither was ......."
if I were the translator of hypocrisy and of hegemony's,
I would translate this text as :
" the descendants of the thieves may keep the stolen-Jerusalem
and the sons of the Jerusalemites have no right to try to repossess it "

As if this film's message were to be :
Zionists of today may keep what the Zionist of yesterday have already stolen
and the Palestinians ought to shut-up and not to try repossess their Palestine"


Who ever wrote the dialogues to this film apparently forgot
that not everybody , on this side of the wall , is an idiot
and that 28% of the Palestinians are anyhow older than the "State of Zion"
and 8% are inside the Walls of Jerusalem itself

and 17% are inside the Stolen-State itself

and 53% are in the Occupied-state
and 56% are outside waiting for Salah ed-Din the second..

Finally , I say , it is the "best" film ever,

but nontheless not perfect !!

What is undeniably significant and beautiful
is the other message of that film ............which says :
The Kingdom of Heaven is inside your minds and hearts,
and not in Jerusalem" !!
This is a film that each Zionist, each Israeli

and each Christian-Zionist must see.

The Dirty , the Clean and the Obelix

the Dirty

the Clean

and the obelix

Lebanon (Phoenicia) was always in the middle
of many Historical happenings and between
many different Empires and Cultures....
nothing new....nothing strange.

Lately two opposed Lebanese leaders
went simultaneously to visit Cairo and Tehran.

Both leaders were Christian-Lebanese
and even from the same sect (Maronites) ,
but as I mentioned, both are enemies to
the unthinkable- extremes.

Cairo without Jamal Abdel Nasser is no more my Cairo
and Tehran without the Shah is today better than Cairo .

So you can figure out who has my sympathies
and which city does not deserve it.

Incidentally and accidentally ,
I remember a spot in the plateau of the Bekaa ,
north East of the Lebanon,
just behind the majestic city of Baalbek..... .
one finds an Obelix dating to the third-century before Christ.


Why and what is than Obelix doing there ???
in the middle of a deserted field ,
among the world's best plantation of cannabis ????


This Obelix was set there , after a peace agreement between
the Pharaohs of Egypt and the Emperors of Persia...... ..
it was a Border-post ( a mile-stone) separating two empires.


Today's Pharaohs are Puppets to the ultimate emperor
residing in the White house....... ..
but the Emperors of Persia are no more emperors.

As an Arab I should prefer the rulers of Cairo
but as an intelligent- Arab , I should not.

Back to the Obelix 15 km north-east of Baalbeck :
it did not move since 300 BC, neither did those borders....
thus Lebanon"s internal-politics is but an international one,
Lebanon is a laboratory's- experimental- test-tube
with even an obelix inside.

Do not rejoice so soon

Within 3 weeks ,
Obama shall win from McCain
but there is no real reason to celebrate
because :

Mr.Obama is as "black" as Dr. Rice

Mr.Obama is "Muslim" only by birth

Mr. Obama is as "liberal" as Bill Clinton

Mr. Obama is as "anti-war"
as any US President ever was.

Mr. Obama is for a Palestinian - State
but only after he leaves the office.(2013)

Mr. Obama shall not try to invade Cuba
but the chances are that Michele Obama
might replace Jacqueline Kennedy...

The Financial-Crisis reaches Gaza

The Financial crisis is affecting Gaza
to the extend that the Tunnel-diggers
are asking for a raise to their salaries
and the smugglers want to deal in Euros-currency
only and no more the weakend US Dollars.

Gaza banks are closed because they have no electricity
nor water....... nor even toilet-paper. ....


On the other-side the Weapon's salesmen
on the Egyptian side , would like to maintain the US Dollars
because those Weapons are imported from the USA ,
courtesy of the CIA and the Mosaad...... ..


Why ? did you ask.....

Elementary my dear Watson !!

When Hamas has weapons it will surely use it against Israel
(and not against the dissidents , like Mr. Abbas does )
and then minor damages will fall on the Israeli-side
which is an excuse for the IDF to hit back with F16
and with Merkava Tanks.


Conclusion :
The financial crisis did not stop the Hamas-militants
to spend their hard-earned- money to purchase weapons
which shall be used as a pretext for re-invading Gaza by Israel.
Paid by the sweat ,blood and tears of the brave Gazzeans.

Humour and Philosophy

A good friend of mine explained to me recently the Greek translation
of the word: Philosophy.. ..
To my huge surprise I learned that it meant :
laughing at the Gods ,
or humorist approach towards religion

My own and personal definition was so far :
in depth thinking or analytic-thinking

Of course my friend knew more than me ,
because he was a professor in philosophy
and I am not.....

I had always much respect for humour
and for philosophy, as well.
And I never could connect them besides the sincere belief
that both need a high degree of intelligence and creativity.


To make a long story short and to save your time as well
I suggest you watch this video-clip-link,
that explains to the ignorants , like me , what has happened
with the Stock Market...... ..and how.....

You will get instructed while laughing
which are both a blessing.... .,
just like philosophy and humour are....a blessing !!


Click and watch.....

Wealth is but a state of the mind

The man who tried to clean-up
the "Temple of Jerusalem ".

Wealth is but an illusion
and
Money is just made of paper.

Wealth is an illusion
and
the banks are its temples.

The Stock Market
is, indeed , simply a market
for this same paper-illusion.


For once , I shall not blame
George W. Bush nor the United States of America
neither has invented greed nor invented capitalism.

On the contrary I shall thank both of them
for demonstrating to us , to where all this leads to.



I shall not request the Stock Markets to convert to Islam
nor would I hope that this would happen one day
because, capitalism will not be an up-grading to (any) religion
but the contrary is the case.....

Look , please , at Riyadh , Dubai and Kuwait
to be convinced of my opinion.

Dubai is re-building the Tower of Babel
and the Hanging-Gardens....... all swimming in the open sea,
for whom and for what ???
(they are re-claiming the sea , when behind them is
the huge-empty-endless- desert ,and when the new-inhabitants
and even their labors are both imported )

Greed , greed and again greed !!

Iceland's economy is now sold out to Russia
and the Temples of Capitalism are almost nationalised
which should have been done , right from the start.

Greed , greed and greed !!

Islam asks the believers to give back to the poor
a tenth of one's own profits , each year....
which does humanise the capitalism
each tenth-year, completely.. ......and repeatedly.

It is a revolving and perpetual re-humanisation of capitalism.

We the Christians ought to find anything similar

or better, if we can .

Jesus has used once only his "physical-force "
and it was against those money-lenders (bankers).


and the other good news is.....
the slums of Bombay and of Rio and the slums of Cairo,
indeed , all the slums of the whole world ,
shall not suffer , this time , at least !!

Hold on !!
Jesus is coming back to us ,

holding a Holy Koran in his left hand ,
and a big stick in his right hand !! .

And the Good-news is !!!

George Illish Bushovief



George W. Bush has promised us
to introduce Democracy in Iraq...
but he has obviously and completely failed !!

But the Good-news, is that
George has now succeeded in democratising Wall Street
and even in socialising it , as well !!


Have a nice week end !!
Monday morning watch it on your TVs
Socialism entering the Stock Market Temple
from the Main-Entrance. ......of course !!
