The Killing of Furkan Dogan? (The Freedom Flotilla)


If this film is genuine - what does it tell you about the 'most moral army in the world' and their claims of self defence?

Slightly better than flying it over the Falklands...

Ambush Journalism

Do we really want to live in a world where you can get fired because some guy comes up to you unannounced, launches questions for which you haven’t prepared, forces you to say things you had no plans to say, then edits the video down into the most damning soundbite before hanging you with it?

Ezikiel Ch 47: V 13


13: And it came to pass in the city of Jabeth that a dog did bismirch itself in the tavern.
14: Seth, a shepherd, was taken with a mighty thirst and did enter the tavern.
15: A great misfortune befell Seth as he bestrode the cur's befoulment.
16: Seth beslid into the wall with a mighty crash.
17; And Seth did wail and make great lamantations.
18: Jethro, a moneylender, did moments later enter the tavern. For he too was taken with a mighty thirst.
19: Jethro did also bestride the befoulment.
20: And once more there was a mighty crash and Jethro was filled with sorrow.
21: "Verily", quoth Seth, "I just did that".
22: And Jethro did smite Seth.

Pierre Littbarski declares his desire to takeover from Pim Verbeek


World Cup winner Pierre Littbarski fears Germany will be at its most vulnerable against a Socceroos side set to revel in their underdog status in Monday's group D showdown in Durban.
The Berlin-born former midfield general who played in two World Cup deciders, including the then West Germany's 1-0 final win over Argentina in 1990, rates Australia as his nation's hardest group opponents from Ghana and Serbia.
Littbarski, 50, admits to having a soft spot for Australia, having coached Sydney FC to the inaugural A-League crown in the 2005-06 season.
"Physically they can cope with the Germans, so that will be for us the most difficult game in the first round, when you're not yet in a rhythm," Littbarski said from Switzerland. "It will be a very good test of German strength.
"If you play high-speed football and pressure a team, Ghana and Serbia will fall apart, but Australia won't."
Littbarski revealed he would like to become Australia's coach as Pim Verbeek's contract ends after the World Cup.
Without a job after being sacked by Liechtenstein-based Swiss second division club FC Vaduz, German legend Littbarski appears long odds to have a genuine shot at coaching Australia.
"I'm absolutely interested in the Socceroos job," he said.
"Because I know the coach (Verbeek) is finishing, it's very enticing for me, but it depends what the federation (Football Federation Australia) thinks."
Littbarski dismissed Australia's 3-1 loss to the United States at Roodepoort Athletics Stadium on Saturday, saying warm-up matches counted for little.
"I don't give much thought to these games . . . some teams are still training hard and they're trying different things out," he said.
But if there is a weakness in Australia, according to Littbarski, it is their pace at the back, which could play into hands of German midfield prodigy Mesut Ozil.

Mona says:
Well it is going to be an interesting game as I think if Australia gets a good result (and that would include a draw) then they will have confidence going into the next games. The major stumbling block as far as I can see is that Verbeek seems to always play for a draw!
I also think that Littbarski could be a good choice as the 'Socceroos' coach as he knows the Australian
A-League. If Australia do well in this World Cup it will only help soccer in this country as was shown by events four years ago...

Beejebus!

We are going to look like bloody chartered accountants at our away games next season...
