Weapons of Mass Destruction

Allegory of War - Peter Paul Rubens “A weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a weapon that can kill large numbers of humans (and other life forms) and/or cause great damage to man-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere in general.” ( Wikipedia ) WMD was the official reason behind the attack, to Iraq, perpetrated by the US and its allies. However, later on, it was proven to be the wrong target since Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction whatsoever (not even to annoy Iran if needed be). His only crime was to be a torturer, a murderer, a despotic leader, a bad bluffer and a producer of evil seeds. Today we know that the pre-emptive war shouldn’t have been on Iraq, for we all know who truly holds the Weapons of Mass Destruction: A) Bin Laden and his gang: the 9/11 attacks were an example of the use of a mass destruction weapon. It killed thousands of innocent people and destroyed buildings. Not to mention the fac

Training Knights Lesson 10 Healing PTSD Part 3

By Stephen Cheney Intro Here, we continue with investigations into the workings of the mind. Terrorists/radicals do not appear to suffer from PTSD: Why is that? Ordinary persons may kill, such as in war, but they do not conduct campaigns of torture and death; unless they become radicalized. Becoming radicalized is a mental process, often a brainwashing process. Those who are radicalized, terrorists being a prime example, commit vicious crimes to instil fear, or at least achieve the cowardice of non-opposition to their rule, bending the knees of all to their authority. Experiencing, or even just seeing, such viciousness and the pain of the innocent can shift the minds of less radical humans into a state of PTSD. Of course, history is peppered with numerous examples of armies sweeping the Earth, committing atrocities and genocide. The minds of the soldiers involved have either been radicalized or made devoid of any sociable individual judgement by being supplanted by a military, politi

Maxiavelli: Abortion Contraceptives & Christendom

The Barque of Dante by Eugéne Delacroix This is a brief comment on abortion, hormonal contraceptives and Christendom. The Bible is quite explicit about several rules of conduct, but it speaks not of abortion. So, is abortion a religious matter? I don’t think it is. Abortion is an ethical matter. Ethics basically discusses concepts of right and wrong behaviour and it includes the notion of consequentialism . I am against abortion ; notwithstanding, I refuse to impose my ethical position on others for two reasons: a) I believe in personal choice; b) I believe in reaction to one’s actions; therefore I believe in Karma. This being said, I believe that killing a human life (and there’s no point in sugar-coating it: abortion equals to taking a life which) will bring consequences – both physical and spiritual – despite the reasons why a female undergoes such procedures. But then society can be faced with other ethical questions (that may explain why the Holy Book speak

Counter-Terrorism: Limitation of Rights, Torture and Interrogation Techniques

Inferno, Canto XXXI by Sandro Botticelli "Terrorism must be suppressed as an essential element for the maintenance of international peace and security" ( in Legal & Policy Issues When Countering Terrorism by Conte & Ganor) The world doesn't seem to reach a consensus on one universal definition of Terrorism; and I suspect that this is so because many nations are interested in keeping the definition opaque enough for political convenience. Nevertheless, after having read quite a few definitions, I selected one (from Prof Boaz Ganor's "Is One Man's Terrorist Another Man's Freedom Fighter?") that I believe to be the most straightforward of them all: Terrorism is the intentional use of, or threat to use, violence against civilians or against civilian targets, in order to attain political aims (..) based on three important elements: The essence of the activity (i.e. an activity that doesn't involve the use, or threat to use, v

Doublethink: Their Method To Control Your Thoughts

George Orwell - Fabrizio Cassetta Two Orwellian concepts: Doublethink and Newspeak. We live in the age of information; but are we open to hear all sides of a single issue or will we just hear what we want, what is more convenient for us, and stick to it? That is the million dollar question. We live in the age of knowledge. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo etc made sure that we had all sorts of information available in seconds, to assist us in our intellectual evolution - an evolution that will come, and even though it may tarry, I will wait for it on any day that it will come. But do we all seek knowledge? Not at all. It's too time consuming, it occupies too much space of our mental-hard disk. And thus we fall prey to the Thought Police. We fall prey to fascists (be it Leftist or Rightist). Do you Double-Think? Yes, if you do the following: "To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to h

Maxiavelli: Fight Terror & we'll Remit

The Portrait of an African Gentleman by Jan Mostaert Hi, my name is Max and I am a politicoholic. - Hi, Max! Yet, sometimes, politics can get to my wits… In less than a month the world has witnessed two strong examples of why some say politics is dirty. The Demise of Meles Zenawi Ethiopian Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, died on the 20 th of August 2012. Upon his demise world leaders praised what they called “one of the greatest African leaders”: “Prime Minister Meles (..) demonstrated his strong personal commitment over many years to improving the lives of not just his own but all African peoples, through his work on African unity, climate change, development and in promoting peace and stability, particularly in the Horn of Africa.” José Manuel Barroso, European Commission president “His personal contribution to Ethiopia's development, in particular by lifting millions of Ethiopians out of poverty, has set an example for the region.” David Cameron, Briti
