I really think Hawking has been fed some bad and possibly agenda driven information by people to be spouting the sort of nonsense which demonises the new, instead of acting in a manner which responds to the the experience of the individual concerned (not me I might add, I've never seen a UFO). By this I mean I certainly don't need anyone from Government or the Military to tell me what to think and feel if a new guest comes to my house. Actually scrap that. Whatever they think I'd think the opposite. It's just a Nazi, Communist, Islam thing.

It occurs to me now that the Pink Terror Hawking thing from a while back makes a bit more sense if thought about within this context as it has the taint of malevolent manipulation though I suspect you may want to visit my exopolitcs post if you're completely unsure of what I'm talking about as I'm guessing most people didn't get past me talking about my great Grandma Lucy Myers.

Here's the Pink Terror Hawking thing again.

The Neo Domino Effect

The domino effect was an elite fear meme foisted upon their peoples to sanction the deaths of brown people in often small Buddhist countries that most people from a superpower couldn't point at on a map. In this instance Thích Quản Đức was a Tibetan Buddhist monk who burned himself to death in the streets of Saigon as a protest against the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam’s Ngô Đình Diệm administration. It later proved to be the turning point of the collapse of the Diệm regime the same regime imposed on people with the backing of the American army.

I was having lunch with Tim a while back and asked him what he thought of Tunisia before Egypt fell and his response was very interesting. He pointed out that if the suicide bombers chose to immolate themselves like the young unemployed graduate Mohamed Bouazizi who set fire to himself in Tunisia to protest against state oppression, Hamas and Hizbullah may have achieved extraordinary change for Islam around the world.

I'm not sure that blowing one's self up is as tough as setting fire to one's self but the point is symbolically powerful. Never forget that a small group of people around the world have something that the global string pullers will never have. The ability to sacrifice themselves and subjugate their pain for a greater cause. It is this which is uniquely human.
