Juan, true blue spaniard:
Hello Scott.
I have to confirm the perfect diagnosis of the european left and our situation.
Congratulations for the bash to the UK liberal (Paul). You are right, we are all Israel, and we are all New York.
This is the first time I meet a Blog o something like it, and I am also clumsy with english too; but I had to write to you…the more I read the the paralelism in many aspects of our lives made me to do it (My father died in 2001
a beloved man big and strongsubsequent problems with vodka…Last year I have buried my lovely cat Lula (In honor to Lula Fortune, Lynch´s Wild at heart”)under the trees and milenary stones of the basilica of my hometown…)I also grew up with the conflict, but in the lebanon scene. I was a child and everyday I could see the Amal fighting off the Gemayel´s christian falangists, Homeini telling bewildering paranoid nonsenses about god and petrol every day… (Born in the Yom Kippur´s groove year of 1973)
My parents
sort of village intelectualshad a lot of books and I began to read history since I was 12. I felt in love with the raiders that built Israel in those books. I also felt in love with american people in books, in marvel comics and in movies (My friends chilhood is spielberg-Lucas- coppola- scorsese trip)Then I studied History (I recognise that when I was 18 I just wanted to see girls naked and I founded a punk rock band with that intention. I could be studying any other thing…) I left it after the first graduation (We had two degrees in Spain in the 90´s) because the enviorment of the Uni was certainly, boring, without any intellectual incentive and…worryingly sectarian. The fucking correct thinking was the only way of thinking. I was there with my Ramones t-shirt just trying to get laid and I realized that perfectly. Then I studied three more years of journalism
I almost enlist in a kibbutz (I keep the papers yet) but I ended up unloading trucks in Rotterdam, working as a waiter/journalist in Madrid (Interview the palestinian embassator included)and other stupid adventures inspired in alcohol and the search of the answer that doesn´t exist…
Sorry, well; I mean, I am an roman catholic spanish, educated in the same values of freedom and justice american people is
curiously, your admirable declaration of independence make references to the ancient laws of the crown of Aragon, the region of Spain I am fromand just like you I DON´T WANT A FUCKING MUSLIM PROTECTORATE IN MY COUNTRY…The Hamash lovers of my country seem to forget that this motherfucking bastards still consider us “Al Andalus” an arabic dominion, and they have declaredmany times their will to reconquist us and clean the country up of infidels.
Curiously, the liberals, the socialist progresist
who assumed the ownership of the words “freedom”, “tolerance”, “human rights”, “good”, “flavor”, “sex appeal” ...in front of the right they considered fascist if do not assume the very same opinions they leadand all the people of the gay lobby and in the feminist organizationsall close allies of the socialist party in the governmenthave not a word against the islamic fashion of bashing wives, cover the girls on burkas or about the curious costume of the lapidation of sodomites.Not a fucking word. Not a word in the media, all spanish tvs are in the service of the socialist ent.
I am perfectly agree that this bunch of stupid demagogic brats are just angry. They are angry with life. They were so coward to fight against Franco, so they want to redempt themselves with their permanent indignation against the occidental way of life that provides them of the freedom that they quickly deny to all who is not agree with their dogmatic, mendacious, narcisistic, selfindulgent, selfdeceitful
and simplistic wicked view of life. We are in danger as you told me . But mostly by the rage,weakness and spiritual poverty of our left-posh-left wing politicians. They are just teen brats. Like a rich white kid playing to be a gangsta. Better don´t leave your hood whitey or you are gonna be fucked.
I support Israel soldiers like the brothers they are (Spain had 800 years of muslims in the south, but sefardies were here for more). They are making the things done and defending their right to exist.
And although I think that Bush was a moron and Cheney, and allthis bunch are just a ultra right Mafia …well just a Mafia, and I really do not know what happens with Halliburton, they probably deserve to go rigth to the scaffold and all that stuff…But anyway I know which is my side.
I am with your boy(s), and in the last resort, I can recognize my brothers. I also admire these kids. Brave and professional, conscious of being protecting something good, something and somebodies loved and all is worth. An idea and blood to preserve and protect. Not money or fanatism.
Yes he is a hero, althoug he do not think so.
Hoo-rah.
Yes. I admire, and I envy them.
The socialist (The left and the Tim Robbins suckers…)are trying to erase our christian and roman heritage(Rome is the fucking base of all this mess called Europe) here Is so amazing, I know but…but you can´t deny what they are doing…I do not want to be tedious…but we have so many canker here…
The cowardice we show to the world in the elections afther our massacre of the 11 of Mars was tragic for me. The guilt was directioned to our president Aznar and to the USA by the powerful massive media corporation of the socialist and many people just blame him and you.
We are a people with a lot of lacks and defects but we always be a courageous people with a very deep sense of justice. They made us lost our conscience, our identity.
I never forgive them.
Curiously they have stopped the investigations of the massacre. The lost and manipulation of evidences, the policemen involve on irregular proceeds linked to the unions of the socialist party…incredible….but true!! And Oliver Stone licking the ass of the cuban bastard (One of the best friend of the spanish lefties)
They
the socialist in the governmentare trying to adoctrinate children in schools with a new matter of study “Education for the citizen”...they want us to lost our soul, our capacity of election…the fighters for the freedom, you know.they do not want individuals, citizens…they want political correct sheep and consumers. Analphabet morons to guide to their own sweet Paradise.
A. Spengler said something like “Europe, at last, is always saved by a infantry squad”
From the east always came salvery, spears and knives, we know it here.
I think that our european capital city should be settle in Marathon. The first place where we broke the hornes (Spanish expression to beat the shit out of some bastard) to the asiatic tyranny for the first time.
Sorry, maybe I get a bit excited. Excuse my languaje, please. I will keep on learning (I have recently found in the typical crummy shithole shop of Barcelona a couple of 80´s records of Prince with the lyrics)
Just like you, I almost have lost my physical force, but anyway I sign as
Juan, Soldier of Rome.
Shalom.
P.D: The squirrels have a elegant sense of honor. Elegance, as honor is just another kind of love.
