BBC 'sanitizes' Bin Laden
Not going to say much - because I am posting from my personal blog heroine, Kathy Krajco's site. I see no reason to plaguarize or try to improve on what she's written. Additionally, I didn't know that the BBC was in the business of subtlely changing observable diagnosis of people's mental state.
Kathy's being polite terming it "sloppy thinking." More like 'complete bull' to me.
But I will add that I saw what the BBC said about Bin Looney-Tunes and frankly I am sickened. And furious that he's still taking oxygen away from HUMAN BEINGS.
SLOPPY THINKING
by Kathy Krajco
This is interesting... the BBC quoting itself....
"Unlike some of the psychopathic adherents of al-Qaeda, Bin Laden has often tried to sway the opinions of the Western public in hopes of driving a wedge between them and their leaders, and between European countries and his most hated enemy, the U.S. government."This statement says that he is not a psychopath.
They cannot say that. Why ARE they saying that?
Why do they diagnose him as not a psychopath? Because he isn't foaming at the mouth?
So, psychopaths are not cunning manipulators, eh?
But I'm sorry, it's common knowledge that they are. COMMON knowledge.
I think the BBC misused the word "psychopathic" for "suicidal." Suicidal would make sense in that sentence.
But they have confused the two to make psychopaths sound like people visibly berserk instead of people who LOOK normal but are occultly sick in the head. Why? How can the world's most respected news organization make such an ignorant mistake?
They have confused psychopathy with insanity. Why?
By portraying psychopaths as wild, obviously insane suicidal maniacs they portray this man as what? Mentally healthy? Why?
Psychopaths are seriously mentally ill and yet expert at passing for normal. They are extremely cunning and manipulative. They are malignantly narcissistic by definition.
Human bombs are whole other thing.
PS -- As usual, they leave out the demand that we convert to Islam and ditch democracy to make them stop attacking us. All the MSM do. Or they bury it in the second-to-the-last paragraph by mentioning it in passing. Every time.
Consequently, there are billions of people who don't even know that those are the peace terms we've been offered, time and again, since before 9/11 even.
I see no reason why this fact should be buried and suppressed. It sure doesn't indicate someone with a very tight grip on reality, does it?

In July, 1945, my fellow 8th RCT Marines [I was a BARman] and I returned to Saipan following the successful conclusion of the Battle of Okinawa. We were issued new equipment and replacements joined each outfit in preparation for our coming amphibious assault on the home islands of Japan.
B-29 bombing had leveled the major cities of Japan, including Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Tokyo.
We were informed we would land three Marine divisions and six Army divisions, perhaps abreast, with large reserves following us in. It was estimated that it would cost half a million casualties to subdue the Japanese homeland.
In August, the A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima but the Japanese government refused to surrender. Three days later a second A-bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki. The Imperial Japanese government finally surrendered.
Following the 1941 sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, a Japanese admiral said, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant..." Indeed, they had. Not surprisingly, the atomic bomb was produced by a free people functioning in a free environment. Not surprisingly because the creative process is a natural human choice-making process and inventiveness occurs most readily where choice-making opportunities abound. America!
Tamper with a giant, indeed! Tyrants, beware: Free men are nature's pit bulls of Liberty! The Japanese learned the hard way what tyrants of any generation should know: Never start a war with a free people - you never know what they may invent!
As a newly assigned member of a U.S. Marine intelligence section, I had a unique opportunity to visit many major cities of Japan, including Tokyo and Hiroshima, within weeks of their destruction. For a full year I observed the beaches, weapons, and troops we would have assaulted had the A-bombs not been dropped. Yes, it would have been very destructive for all, but especially for the people of Japan.
When we landed in Japan, for what came to be the finest and most humane occupation of a defeated enemy in recorded history, it was with great appreciation, thanksgiving, and praise for the atomic bomb team, including the aircrew of the Enola Gay. A half million American homes had been spared the Gold Star flag, including, I'm sure, my own.
Whenever I hear the apologists expressing guilt and shame for A-bombing and ending the war Japan had started (they ignore the cause-effect relation between Pearl Harbor and Nagasaki), I have noted that neither the effete critics nor the puff-adder politicians are among us in the assault landing-craft or the stinking rice paddies of their suggested alternative, "conventional" warfare. Stammering reluctance is obvious and continuous, but they do love to pontificate about the Rights that others, and the Bomb, have bought and preserved for them.
The vanities of ignorance and camouflaged cowardice abound as license for the assertion of virtuous "rights" purchased by the blood of others - those others who have borne the burden and physical expense of Rights whining apologists so casually and self-righteously claim.
At best, these fakers manifest a profound and cryptic ignorance of causal relations, myopic perception, and dull I.Q. At worst, there is a word and description in The Constitution defining those who love the enemy more than they love their own countrymen and their own posterity. Every Yankee Doodle Dandy knows what that word is.
In 1945, America was the only nation in the world with the Bomb and it behaved responsibly and respectfully. It remained so until two among us betrayed it to the Kremlin. Still, this American weapon system has been the prime deterrent to earth's latest model world- tyranny: Seventy years of Soviet collectivist definition, coercion, and domination of individual human beings.
The message is this: Trust Freedom. Remember, tyrants never learn. The restriction of Freedom is the limitation of human choice, and choice is the fulcrum-point of the creative process in human affairs. As earth's choicemaker, it is our human identity on nature's beautiful blue planet and the natural premise of man's free institutions, environments, and respectful relations with one another. Made in the image of our Creator, free men choose, create, and progress - or die.
Free men should not fear the moon-god-crowd oppressor nor choose any of his ways. Recall with a confident Job and a victorious David, "Know ye not that you are in league with the stones of the field?"
