oscar joke as benjamin button kills the curiosity
It seems as if the Oscar lot have a conspiracy against the masses. After a year in which pretty much everything was about the Dark Knight they somehow managed to really cock it up by handing a bunch of nominations to Brad Pitt's piss poor version of Forrest Gump in the curious case of Benjamin Button.
Now we know that Brad forms one half of the power couple that is known as Brangelina and so the powers that be would like to give him an oscar but the film could not be said to have been better than Dark Knight. I mean honestly that cannnot be true. It is a complete traversty of justice. Yes they gave th ;late Heath Ledger a posthumous nod but this was a shocking snub to a groundbreaking film.
Whatever the reason it should not have been allowed to stand in any reasonable debate.
Unless there was a bribe and there was a Nigerian involved. Even then, sanity should have kicked in somewhere

the obama illusion
So well the 44th president of the United States has been sworn in and the masses have called it a pivotal moment in history. Some called it the greatest day in the history of the world.
I had some ugly conversation with some facebook people about this resulting in them calling me names because of what I called the Obama illusion.
First and foremost I must congratulate Barack on handling his business. Puppet or puppet he is historically the first non-white president of the United States of America. He has made sure that Sasha and Malia are set. But that is it. For Africa and African Americans it means nothing and I mean nothing at all. Yes some will say that people will be inspired but inspiration is nothing if the reality is a couple of miles off. In fact it is on another planet n another galaxy.
Barack Obama is a man who just hustled himself to the position of president of the United States. He is the politicians highest in the heirarchy. He is no the ruler. He is just a smart politician. The rulers are the powerful landowners who decide how someone protects their interests.
Sound medieval? well of course it would because it is an unfashionable truth.

USA creates new brand of 'terrorists'
There as a time not so long ago when the United States of America was seen by many Zimbabweans as the solution to many issues everywhere and anywhere... Now this meant that the USA was incapable of erring and in respect of Zimbabwe this was the country that was best place to provide solutions for this country and this before the cholera but after the shit hit the fan.
Now a new brand of young people has been fostered by the continued pressure on them and becoming convinced that the americans are not as benevolent in their gestures of goodwill that they seemed to happy to hand them.
You see now you have these young kids who are becoming anti-american. They are looking at the sanctions on the table and thinking no.. there must be something going on here. I mean there must be some truth to what these geriatrics are on about.
You see it is common cause that if you pressure on people they tend to break. You just arent guaranteed in as far as which way they will break. Cause you might wanna break them and they go the other way. Then what do you do?
Do you keep asking questions of the same people and hope that by some weird miracle that takes place on another planet the not so good will turn to the not so bad and maybe come to being good before going full circle to being plain bad before we start all over again.
But then I got you thinking there haven't I?
Gaza is said to be littered with terrorists who are dangerous to the future of this world. Are they? Or could the unchecked forces of the west and their ilk be the real danger of the new world. Unless that is all they ever wanted to be.
Danger disguised.
