Preamble: The ‘luminaries’ not only vote our leaders and judges into power but also become our leaders and judges. In the glare of the twenty-first-century sun, 'belief' was thought to be rank infidel to science with 'superstition' its twin horror, but not for some. Even scholars and captains of industry succumb to a clutch of supernatural convictions that dribbles towards the realm of the absurd resulting in inquisitions and trials no different from those in the Dark Ages. Last week a prominent person in his field said he walked into his kitchen and found the maid squatting without her knickers over a pot of freshly cooked rice. Aghast at the thought that he and his family were about to consume the food, the scholarly man, in explaining his servant’s intention, offered a strange brew that differed little from the pious inquisitors of yore mumbling justice upon a hapless witch.  He said in squatting commando over the pot, the girl condenses steam ...

Preamble: Drown the whole thing with Bersih’s Premier Syrah Noir, and you will be all lubed up for a sprint to Dataran Merdeka on Saturday, April 28, 2012, for Bersih’s 3.0 ‘City Hall approved’ sit-down protest. The Cannibal Bersih, a premier Tel Aviv restaurant, is due to launch its first overseas outlet in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, on April 25, 2012 - albeit surreptitiously by proxy - given the prevailing anti-Semitism fervour. S hareholders of the popular Israeli bistro thought it would be appropriate to guineapig, from both sides of the political fence, the veracity of a closed dogma awaiting to genie out in the face of multicultural Malaysia.  It  would be jarringly hilarious if ‘The Cannibal Bersih, Kuala Lumpur’, nestled as an anchor KLCC tenant, would live up to its name and serve human flesh.  Picture metropolitan Kuala Lumpur, the hotbed of the opposition’s People’s Coalition, where self-satisfied organ enthusiasts - ‘unknowingly’ dining on flanks, kidneys, and sl...

When Andrew Kevin Walker wrote Se7en, he delivered more shocks than any thriller could. Without Judas, the proverbial snitch, the script writer authored the brutal specialist in Spacey to kneel, surrender himself willingly, and tease investigators in Freeman and Pitt to tears. With Pitt agonizing over the contents of the box and Freeman shouting himself hoarse not to look inside while muttering, "John Doe has the upper-hand" - it was apparent the hyper-motivated Spacey had absolute control over his own demise in orchestrating Pitt to willfully discharge his 'Wrath' - the last of the Seven Deadly Sins. Never has a script been so convoluted and complicated yet so disgustingly rendered, given that Pitt's beautiful wife in Paltrow was butchered because of the brute's 'Envy'. The point is, how would a Walker pen a convoluted and complicated script in Altantuyaa, without a Judas. Notwithstanding the uncanny relevance to the venial sins - Gluttony • Greed ...

Two things are noted when one puts Obama and Hu Jintao in perspective. 1. The timing of Saddam’s Euro and Gaddafi’s Gold Dinar proposals for oil trade, and 2. the Golf Driver and the Abacus. Saddam and Gaddafi were taken out soon after they announced their propositions as policy and note, when Jintao mentioned that China would not guarantee its alignment with the Dollar (Apec Nov 11, 2011), the golfer in Washington - a result of leftist affirmative action - had the gall to lecture the descendant of the Qing dynasty - a trained accountant - on the nuances of economics and proper book-keeping (Apec Nov 14, 2011). The operative is a ‘puppet’ while the insidious master of the puppet is a discussion for another thread. In the audio, the controversial leader of The Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan (born Louis Eugene Wolcott), is interviewed days before Gaddafi's unexpected demise where he offers stinging rebukes to the tenants of the White House, past and presents while extol...

"Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president in a generation, perhaps in American history. Thanks to him the era of big government is back. Obama runs up taxpayer debt not in the billions but in the trillions. He has expanded the federal government's control over home mortgages, investment banking, health care, autos, and energy. The Weekly Standard summarizes Obama's approach as omnipotence at home, impotence abroad." - Dinesh D'Souza ( The entire article ) (Advanced appreciation is rendered for materials used without the express permission of copyright owners - Tommy Peters)

Preamble: No belief system outside Islam would have a truck with the child Imam or the eleven reverends before him, but when such conditions are premised on a destructive caveat, they would. Belief is an impetus for action. Say you believe your home is about to be burgled. The perception of such certainty would have you keeping vigil for intruders for as long as the conviction holds. It underscores that belief is an impetus for action, but sometimes it is a stimulus for detrimental ones. In Christianity, the term 'Rapture' is evolving into a euphemism for conviction, a harmless conviction, nevertheless. It is not a biblical word, but whenever the term erupts, non-adherents roll their eyes and entertain themselves with a plethora of evangelists who go about embellishing biblical prophecies as fact, but the point is, predicting the second coming or 'rapture' of Christ has spawned a harmless industry, if not entertaining. At worst, you have a coterie of ...
