« OlderSo lately, in light of all the havoc caused at all london airports due to the arrest of 20 something people intending to blow up aircrafts about to cross the atlantic. Not sure how this plot was uncovered as it was never explained in the news, but it just did and a number of bearded people were detained for further questioning. Them being muslim is a given, so lets not duel on that. As this topic can take us to all kinds of conspiracy theories which means i would have to post this thread under a certain heading Ilpadrino began. BUT I WONT!!!
This drama reflected yet another chaotic scenes at airport baggage controls as everything and anything had to be checked in. Including mobile phones, or laptops. This was simply too overwhelming for baggage handling companies. It like me trying to multi-task, forget it!
Amusingly enough, they literally placed palm size items on the conveyor belts which got trapped in tiny gaps along the way, creating jams and thousands of baggage being left behind and lost. The extra security meant people had to be searched thoroughly and if they had to take their children’s’ milk on board, they had to taste it (including breast milk… ugh) in front of a panel of airport personnel’s. All these delays meant people missed their flights and airliners had to cuff up compensations left right and centre. Till Ryan air decided to sue the government unless they lifted the extra security within 7 days. Airline with big balls if you ask me. But that’s expected as this way, cheap airline cannot afford to be cheap any longer.
Next thing we hear is Dell retracting an entire model of laptops from the market as it is discovered that their batteries have the capacity to spontaneously go up in flames. Amazing what technology can do these days.
Brilliant… so now people have to send their laptops through the check-in, where it is placed in the luggage compartment, where it cannot be seen. That should make passengers feel safe.

This documentary provides some previously unseen (in the west at least) footage of Operation Phantom Fury. It analyses the use of white phosphorus and napalm in Falluja…

… “its just like a mass killing of Arabs”!
We’ve all suspected and assumed this, in different variations. This blog post very eloquently and academically puts the pieces together. Its long but well worth the read (some of the comments are also interesting).
It refers to Israel’s real motives and intentions behind what happened.. and being one step closer to achieving the Grand Zionist scheme and controlling the Furat (Euphrates).

Right then, lets see…… Lebanese refugees….hmmm, in Syria…..haven’t seen that for a while….well, at least not since the civil war that we helped stop……and they’re ungrateful and whining after they get back home……oh bollocks, what have we done to upset them this time?
Apparently, it wasn’t enough that we set them up at our homes and schools, provided them with food, clothing, shelter even toys, raised funds for them, and devoted the entire red cross and red crescent volunteers to tend to their every need, and suffered and are still suffering from hours of blackouts because were giving away electricity to Lebanon.
Some people I know, even quit their work, traveled to Damascus to rent as many apartments as they could find, then went to the border to pick up any stranded families and take them to those apartments.
When the ceasefire came into effect last week, most Lebanese refugees went home….and then promptly started the verbal abuse and slander against Syria and Syrians. Saying things like “Syria is full of donkeys”, or “Syria is filthy and uncivilized”. Well that’s all just very super, it’s like having a guest leave your house, then as soon as he gets out, he pisses all over your porch and sets fire to your dog. Thank you Lebanon for all the P!
But to be fair, the majority of Lebanese, especially those hardest hit in the south, and who also happen to be the poorest and most downtrodden, actually appreciate Syria and all it’s done for them throughout the years. Those people, unfortunately, are the most marginalized, and least heard in Lebanese society. All we hear are the disgusting rantings of the absurdly “in bed with Israel” cedar-future cowards. That bumbling imbecile Hariri, who barley knows how to speak Arabic, let alone form a coherent sentence, or that old git Junblat who looks like he just escaped from a lunatic asylum.
We here in Syria still support, and will always support the free peoples of Lebanon, and the freedom fighters of Hezbollah…..those who have not sold their dignity, honor, ideals and beliefs for scraps, and bonds of servitude to their American and Israeli masters.
So whats all this about Israeli soldiers having a cup of tea at a Lebanese army barracks at the height of the war? While the bombs were dropping on top of children, the lebanese army was having a social get together and quiet chit chat with the enemy?
And when the Lebanese soldiers evacuated the base, the Israelis just went ahead and bombed them!!!! Bloody hell, that’s what I call a classic case of “serves you right”…
Aren’t we Arabs just soooooooooo proud of our armies…..

Enjoy.. you gotta love it.
Aleppo has been voted the Islamic capital of culture for the year 2006. Now, there are many reasons why that is, cleanliness and order are certainly not one of them, but a collection of freaks is.
Following is an account of the Yellowman of Aleppo. A marvelous tourist attraction, and a unique Syrian enigma.
Not much is known about the Yellowman, except that he wears yellow…all the time. Yellow socks, yellow cap, yellow shirt and pants, yellow moustache….he even has a yellow cell phone. Speculation as to the color of his underwear is rife…I suspect it’s yellow too. This mysterious anomaly started appearing in and around Aleppo’s Bab Faraj region about 25 years ago, where he still lives today, in a hotel. It’s not known what this man, well into his fifties, does for a living, but some say he’s actually a pimp. He’s been spotted at night, in the company of dubious looking women. so you could say he’s “da original Syrian pimpin”…..
As to the origin of his strange obsession, some say that he used to be an ordinary customs official, until succumbing to “The Daily Syrian Stress Cycle“.
Other cultural icons of the city include a man who thinks that he’s a mini cab! no, not a mini cab driver…a mini cab…he runs around the streets holding an imaginary steering wheel and honking an invisible horn, and even stops at traffic lights. There’s also a man who thinks he’s a traffic cop. He routinely whistles at cars and pedestrians, and writes imaginary traffic tickets on thin air!!!
If this is not clear evidence that the landing on the moon images were generated in a small garage in Hollywood.. then I don’t know what is…?!
Oh Dark1.. can you add a new Category for ‘Conspiracy Theories’… I am of the opinion that this eclectic group of bloggers will have much to post on this topic…
Today recorded an unusually sharp rise in my normally “normal” stress levels due to unforeseen and unnecessary feuds with family and loved ones…oh yeah, and a series of trips to the market to buy some necessary items for my new house…
Of course, “normal” by Syrian standards is different from any other international “normal” standard….you see, here in Syria, we like do things differently…All this has put me in the mood to inflict yet another totally unnecessary article upon you…..following, is a typical account of the daily Syrian stress cycle….
