Emperor Bush - Poland's Euro Championsip Crucifier


Image originally posted on Political Humour

Throw in or Throw up?
Now that it seems likely indeed that the U.S. (mis)administration's Emperor Blush is coming to pollute the Northern Polish Hel peninsula's area of Jurata in early June, the big question arises as to whether U.S. plans for an Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense System they want built in Poland, will be in modus operandi for the security of the Polish/Ukraine hosting of the 2012 Euro Football Championships.

Poles Apart from the Public
But before I address the latter issue, it is important to note that although the Conservative U.S. Foreign Policy-loving Polish gvt. are very much in favour of the U.S. missile defense system being situated on their soil, as are the Czech Republic gvt. who have been requested by U.S. officials to host an accompanying radar system, the general public in both countries are, according to polls, opposed to such developments. The reason - fears that it will make, not save Poland from being victims of terrorism. If one has any political savvy they will realise that Bush's visit to Poland is merely a softening up aid for the Kaczynski brothers (President and Prime Minister) to use in quelling any public dissent - the deal is already done! That's politics.

Unreliable Encrypted Fictional Account
News has been circulating amongst privileged military circles (of which I am privy to via my own boundless imagination), that the Iranians and other rogue states {surely you don't expect me to list them, do ya?}, who are crazily dribbling and having wet dreams over nucleardom, currently have a number of tactics to show Poland the consequences of being idiotic poodles to the Bushling and Pentagonites. The country, whose name is an anagram for rain which in turn similarly creates a wide mixture of responses from humanity, are hoping to pre-empt the final construction of 10 interceptor rockets in Southern Poland with surprise attacks during the Euro chanmpionships.

The evil nutcases way over there in a place where we most of us can neither even spell nor say the President's name (AH-MAD-IN-E-JAD), are planning ingenious ways to completely and utterly spoil the exoected revelling fest of hooligans coming from all over Europe to learn just how nasty their Polish bonehead counterparts really are - and lest we forget, there will also be quite a few decent people who will come to watch and support great and not so great soccer players.

The violent proposals, which have been laid out to spectacularly demonstrate how insecure the Western way of life is and land a revenge punch on them for being unrepentant infidels, are as scientifically-awe striking as they are monstrously psychopathic. Dedicated forces of Western-ruination - whose every bone, sinew and blood cell savour their 'reward' of 72 virgins in heavenly paradise, wish to create havoc on our intent to get overly-excited over 22 grown men kicking around a round piece of inflated leather for 90 minutes on a big green field.

Virgins or Raisins?
Not that it appears to matter an ****(expletive) that the latter reward for martyrdom very well seems to be a cock-up on behalf of ancient Muslim translators. Ibn Warraq contends in 'Virgins, What Virgins?' (Free Inquiry 26:1, 2006, 45-6) that the 'seventy-two virgins' phrase should have actually been translated, 'white raisins of crystal clarity' - now that would surely test anybody's committed path to fundamentalist religiousity! Last time I checked, they were even on sale in my local bazaar.

Some of the destructive plots in those minds (Persian) historically only capable of hatred, oil drilling, the first civilisation, the Stone Age, Sanskrit,the first caesarian operation and accounting tools, the first domesticated animal and noodles as well as the first beer-making techniques include footballs with minutely miniscule nuclear devices implanted inside their specially-tailored cores, so that when the world awaits with bated breath for their stars to kick-off in the opening dual, they will instead encounter an enormous blast of atoms splitting in centre-field, triggered by a remote control device operated from a room very far away that has a satellite dish with Sky Sports. And hey prosto, we're all doomed.

Plan B
Other less sophisticated ways that jihadists are allegedly planning to piss off all of us hard-working, freedom-loving Europeans and soccer lovers worldwide are by lacing the referees whistle with poison, bribing team officials to use Aerial washing powder on the players shorts so their balls itch like hell when they are playing, and finally, the most painful of them all - threatening all teams to allow England to be outright winners: an event that will surely either cause mass suicide throughout Europe, or World War III.

Reuters Writers
Reuters, who try to avoid (most of the time) writing half-truths and politically-loaded exaggerations like most of the above, report that
"The missile shield will not only defend the United States but also Europe, including Poland," Lt-Gen Henry Obering told all-news channel TVN24 on Saturday.

The chief of the U.S. Missile defense agency also rejected Kremlin fears the system might endanger Russia's security by emphasizing its non-offensive nature.


Swords Into Ploughshares
The last question for us to ponder - and we have a few years to mull it around in our conscience, is whether any of us would be willing to engage in a citizens' disarmament of such an antagonistic offensive arms system, if and when the authorities in power meddle with this big toy, which will be only counter-productive in assuring the security it claims to vigorously defend.

A very imaginative piece. Civic action? And if the damaged caused results in an accident killing people? Still not sure I'm with you on the idea of messing with highly complicated pieces of equipment.

'if the damage caused results in an accident killing people?'

Varus, I thought we had gone beyond such levels of misunderstanding. I should have stressed nonviolent civil action. I am not a supporter of the insurgency philosophy or tactics of 'propaganda of the deed' as espoused by Bakunin or Malatesta.

The comments I finished this article with referred to the link I made to the nonviolent Plowshares movement which never fucks around with weapons primed to blow up in their own faces or the faces of their foes. Risk assessments about the possibilities of violence to persons are to the forefront of preparations for such acts - actors are frequently willing to put themselves at risk to being handled in an aggressive manner but martyrdom is not looked upon as fruitful in such contexts. By no means should persons be put at threat if such civil actions were to take place, whether they be U.S. or Polish
soldiers, local farmers, skiiers, or even bonehead fascists.

Taking all this into account it easy to foresee that actions will be chiefly symbolic, but nevertheless may result in some effectual damage to parts of equipment (convoys, railway tracks that carry the warheads to the missile bunker, etc.) which do not constitute in themselves a threat to a consequential big boom.

Maybe you misunderstood me. I understand your ethics and know you don't advocate violence. I was just wondering if you are sure that the bit you pull of the plane (or whatever) will be noticed and the pilot will not get in the plane and have an accident. .. You mentioned rail tracks, sounds a bit indiscriminatingly to me. The train could de-rail at speed and whoop! there goes Lublin (assuming missiles will be in the east). Not likely but possible!

Firstly, accountability is a key aspect of any such civil action. The Plowshares/Ploughshares Movement advocates staying and praying (or singing if you don't like praying) instead of hitting and splitting. Sabotage actions may indeed endanger human life if such damage is not obvious or if there is no information sent to the appropriate personnel that such an action has taken place.
We stayed and prayed when we did our action at Shannon in Feb. '03 because we believed we had a defence in law and that the Irish public had a right to know why we did what we did and to make up their minds whether it was justified or not.

The rail tracks hypothesis is not about derailing a passenger (civilian or military) train but about doing damage to certain safe yet quintessential elements for the use of such weaponry - I don't know, nor does any member of the public know yet what type of anti-ballistic defence system this will be once/if it takes shape.

I stand to be corrected on whether the ABM system is different to the ICBM system whereby rail tracks are used for the opening of the silo lids. Anyhow, the above mentioned accountability factor will ensure that Lublin and elsewhere remain safe.

You seem to have thought of all angles and thus i will leave it at that. - not sure the Polish justice system will deal with you in quite the same way as the Irish, but good luck!

Thanks for the comments seeking clarification. I appreciate that what meaning may be obvious to me when I write is not apparent to others, so it's great to get any feedback.

Do you know how many signatures of the public electorate have to be submitted for a referendum to be held in Poland?

Do these signatures have to be advocated by a certain amount of deputies in parliament in order to have some legal impact.

I guess the President has a veto on whether such a referendum can be called or not. He has already stated that a referendum will not be held on an issue of national security.

So this article is really only a shaking of the bushes. Not that the few who read this blog will go buy hammers anytime soon in preparation for disarmament work but I think every option of noviolent direct action should be on the table.

Some will undoubtedly take legal recourse to combat the construction of what I deem is pretty much an inevitable ABM system in the south of Poland.

I await with hope that I will be proved wrong and that it will not transpire.

I think its 10 000 signatures

Thanks Niall. But isn't that way too little? I was recently reading an article about the Rospuda Valley situation and it said that 5% of a regions' population was required to demand a referendum.

I wonder if this is the same nationally?
