The Good Arab, The Bad Arab & European Pretensions


Do you mind if I interrupt your Starbucks Coffee and Pret a Manger sandwich for just one moment? Media is war and the longer we continue to allow the glowing screens of corporate controlled media to shape our opinions, inciting us to war where oil is at stake the deeper the pain will be when war arrives at our doorsteps.

A few weeks ago, I watched clueless and well entrenched media talking-head Paxman embarrassing himself on British TV defending Western imperial bombing of Libya and attacking Noam Chomsky for defending pursuit of peace. Where are our Michele Collon's? We don't have them. Instead we prefer to drive our fossil fuel-mobiles stop off for coffee and a sandwich at lunch and pretend that what we consume, be it oil or labour, has no bearing on the rest of the world. What we consume will consume us. Walk away from it or one day you will have to run.
