GEOGRAPHY PROBLEM


Antony Loewenstein describes Sri Lanka, an island almost 6,000 kilometers distant, as "the rogue nation near our shores". Cool, there's something he knows less about than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Update: Lowenstein -- that's how it's spelled in the video -- features in a "documentary" almost as unpopular as his books (85 views in 8 days). Sure it's disjointed (what were you expecting?) but worth watching all the way through just to see Loewenstein's eye action -- it's like he thinks he's Vivien Leigh screen-testing for Scarlett O'Hara.

I love the way he somehow manages to blame Israel.

I think Loewenstein, Damien Lataan and Pilger should all do a documentary together. I think the Truth Fairy would explode!

JJ, if you include Lowie and Latrine in the lofty category that contains Pilger you are connecting Verdun with London and New York. Latrine obviously needs to move to Paris and secure some credibility. On the basis that he takes his medicine with him. The old aerodynamicist that he is.

The idea that Damien Lataan may somehow be involved in designing or testing aircraft terrifies me.

The Tigers, who during the height of their power possessed a well-developed militia cadre, were notorious for recruiting child soldiers...

They invented the suicide belt and pioneered the use of suicide bombing as a tactic.

They also pioneered the use of women in suicide attacks...


Yep. They they fit the lefty's profile of a victim.

Umm no it means he a growing laughing stock.

Whereas you are simply a very localised one. A somewhat acquired taste but good for the odd roll around on the floor laughing.

I mean 61 years old and this is what you come up with? THAT is funny. When I was a teenager I loved the X files.

Then I grew out of it.

You on the other hand.....

Then again you DO have a very retro obsession ripped straight from 1930's Germany by the looks of it.

was it the architecture? Or something else.....

Lataan to which airline(s) have you supplied services?

Gee, there's a massive amount of turbulent (and rather foul) air about this morning. It's due, no doubt, to people talking out of their arses - again.

Lataan do you work for any commercial airline? I want to know so I can avoid them.

Latrine, running around in circles, saying nothing, going nowhere, but lurving the attention. Verdun's a lonely place. This is where Latrine engages with his friends.

Anyhow answer the question Latoon the academic: do you believe that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust?

Anonymous Damian Lataan said...

Jimmy Boy, Jews weren't the only peoples slaughtered during the war. Slaughter is slaughter no matter how it comes. It's all tragic but has absolutely nothing to do with the situation today in Palestine. In the last century the Jews were the victims; this century the Zionazis are making the Palestinians the victims. The Zionazis of this century are no better than the Nazis of the last century.

I wonder if his supervisors approve of his repeated use of the term Zionazi in virtually every sentence?

Or the 9/11 troofer angle in 'historical studies'

lets find out

Off now for the weekend. Flying of course. I'll be back Sunday to check out your next load of foaming at the mouth offerings. Try not to spend too much time with your eyeballs popping with rage in front of your computers dreaming up your next round of pathetic Zionazi crap and nonsense.

When you think about it, I suppose truthers fly with the most confidence these days. That whole airline hijacking thing is all baloney to them.
