To complement the picture, it needs a third panel with a guy blowing up his pants on a plane with a syringe over the usa.

Two Calendars for the Timeline.

30.12.2009 21:23

Obamas calendar is the old Roman Slaveholders Empire Calendar and its new years day is now January 1st each year. However there is an indigenous lunar calendar and its new years day is the first day when the days in the norther hemisphere begin to be longer after the winter solstice up to which the days were getting shorter. That day is december 23 of each year of solstice time day 357. The winter solstice is the ebbtide when the sun is furthest from the equator, and that is in the north the end of the time when the days were getting shorter, and the first day of the days getting longer in that year happens is the first day of the new year. It is a mark in solar time and a materialist way of time measure. The old Slaveholders calendar is less acurate and takes away the minds reference of time as comming from the matter-in-motion of our earths movement in the solar system. The failing Roman empire adopted Christianity and then changed the Julian Calandar to the Gregorian Calendar which merely changed name but not substance, hence keeping the months names of the old Slaveholders, such as January which is named after Janus the Roman God of Hypocracy, who smiles at you saying one thing but says something opposite behind your back. That indeed is close to describing Obama, is it not. July named after Julius Ceasar, and August named afer Agustus Ceasar, and March named after the Roman Legions who march, hence beware of the ides of March and etc. The content of time is the same and irregular in its months, and has a leap year to catch up with the planets movement in time. Why anyone would like to keep the months names after the killers of millions of working people is beyond me.

Julius, and Augustus were famous in the ancient world for massacres. They are not my heroes as I am a worker, and they are the destroyers of the matriarchy throughout the western world by the slaveholder Sextus, and still the matriarchy has not been restored and sex has prevailed with the Janus god of hypocracy in power yet. We need a new organic calandar based on the needs of the matter-in-motion in true time, not in false time and hypocracy time.

problem reporting is easy, problem solving harder.

rename the months, give us a new calendar, equal and just, and we'll listen.

not metric though eh?

"To complement the picture, it needs a third panel with a guy blowing up his pants on a plane with a syringe over the usa"

Remember the guy "disappeared probably to Yemen" before the alleged bomb attempt.

Yemen is a hotbed of US black forces.

Eye-witnesses said the guy was terrified and seemed "in a trance"

He was on US terror watch-lists but was allowed on the plane.

Weekend papers quote independent terror expert saying "this doesn't add up".

Anyone else think it's another inside job?

Lots of US interest in Yemen, and about time we had another terrrrror scare too!

Given the fact that there has been over 12,000 suicide bombings in recent years, I don't think we can blame the Americans for organising them all via the CIA

I don't understand why the conspiracy theorists always say the high-profile attacks are done by the CIA. Why not blame the less high-profile ones too? I blame the Islamic extremist terrorists. They are the ones that post all these videos going on about Jihad and stuff. Its most likely them.

I'm sure the guy was mainly terrorified because he was about to blow his own ass off.
I don't know if you have ever been in a situation of near death, but the usual reaction is to freeze up and lose nearly all ability to think properly. Try holding onto the edge of a cliff with two fingers and a foothold that you cant support all your weight on. And then doing a semi-complex task like writing your name backwards. You will find it a lot harder than normal and will probably get it wrong.

Hence his "in a trance" and screwing up the detonation of the bomb. Its pretty obvious.
Also, why was he in the toilet for 20 minutes? What was he up to?
Was he taking drugs with that syringe to take the fear away? He seem to blab pretty quick once they restrained him

This is actually one of Latuff's better cartoons.

I think the pants bomber would belong in a different strip - contrasted with a panel with US special forces massacring Afghan children.

Wow that's fair, can I join your rich persons jihad?

Yeah, cos it's really fair for a banker's son to try and blow up the poorest city in America in revenge for an oilman sending troops to the poorest country in Asia which was in revenge for a multi-millionaire attacking some other rich people and killing a load of cleaners and security guards in the process... and so on.

Why don't you go and fight them yourself?

no.

Because politics for most people is unfortunately about religion and nationalism rather than class, and I would not be such a moron as the first commenter was, to introduce "moral" equivocation into a debate about nationalism, religious insanity and greed. Nonetheless the US has provoked the majority of this terror and murder.

Now piss off to telegraph.co.uk please?

What rubbish, you lot think the terrorists and the Taliban are "good guys" huh? I really, really hope you are attacked by them one day. They are Fascists and so are the other Islamists.

PS Has it ever occured to you geniuses that the reason there are so many civilian casualties might be that the Taliban and their mates are using civlilians as human shields? They do worship Death you know. And there's bound to be a reason those brave soldiers of the resistance are even less popular than the Americans...
