Coalition of the Willing... !!!

 

The more I listen to and see news reports broadcast on multi-media platforms these days, the more often than not a certain phrase or even theory surfaces in my mind and which I typically formulate into a rhetorical question that I pose to myself, which is; could not the war in Ukraine be described as a ‘Woke’ War, or if you prefer a war which was brought about, in part, due to ‘Woke’ ideas?

What exactly do I mean by this? I hear you ask, perhaps intrigued, a little, and certainly perplexed!

I should frame all of this, by the way, with the image of the British Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, in my mind, as his bespectacled face is plastered all over the front pages of both the mainstream British and Irish media, yet again.

I must say, before I continue any further, have you ever seen a more ‘Woke’ looking Prime Minister in your life, other than Keir Starmer? I suppose, I am referring  to the constant pose of self-righteous indignation that Mr Starmer is constantly adopting in the chambers of the House of Commons, or when he is standing behind rostrums, what a century for rostrums!, as he faces down the world’s press…!

And to be honest with you. I am done. I have had enough of it, I tell you. “The Coalition of the Willing”. Where have I heard this expression before? Oh yes, I remember, once again it was New Labour, in the guise of poodle, once again, to Geroge Bush’s response to the tragedy that was the ‘Twin Towers’ debacle which launched this disaster of a twenty first century back on the 11^th, September, 2001.

Do you remember where you were, exactly? I certainly do, working on a split shift in the bar of a hotel on Baggott Street in Dublin, playing Randy Newman’s Sigmund Freud’s Impersonation of Albert Einstein in America while I watched the fallout of the event on the television screen in the lounge with the office workers who had staggered into the bar in an attempt at trying to comprehend what was happening; a lot of whom would have had family members, cousins, friends working in New York at the time, and who knows, even in the Twin Towers themselves…!

We were all moved, it was unforgettable what had happened. This was our JFK moment. I still remembered where I was when Elvis had died. You see, we all grew up with America, the USA. As they, the United States of America, were in fact…us. That is what the US actually meant to people worldwide. Us. Russians, Italians, Irish, Jews, Muslims…we were all concerned at what was taking place as we all felt a little part of us had died that day. There was the translation of a poem by Saadi Youssef and that was published in The Guardian newspaper, back then when it was still an actually newspaper as opposed to some propaganda rag bought off and paid for by the status quo, that summoned up everything that we felt; this now was when the atrocious government of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, the Tweddle  Dumb and Tweedle dee of the Neo-Con global wrecking corporation.

I hated that pair as much as I detest Keir Starmer today, for it is the same eternal BS. The Coalition of the Willing, this is the exact same horse shit phrase that Tony Blair and George W. Bush used to justify their abominable war against Iraq, and which was built on a lie, and which is the single most cause, I would say, of the total fundamental mistrust of the entire world in regards to the credibility of the west. Everyone knew it was bullshit then, and so….

Here we are again! Another Labour mug, this time bespectacled; he has been described as the most hated British prime minister in his own lifetime, and he hasn’t even served a full year!

And why is that? Why do you think that Keir Starmer is the most hated British Prime Minister ever, in his own lifetime?

The mendacity of the man. The MOTM. He so believes his own lies…This is the full horror. I mean, say what you like about Bush and Blair, and the other pair, but I think the one thing that separates them all from Starmer is that, at least speaking for the Americans, whatever about Blair, they didn’t really believe their own lies. They were arrogant, conceited even, and awfully so. God how I hated them at the time… Kissinger’s boys. It was his phrase they were using after all. They lived and breathed Kissinger.

But this Starmer fella, he’s from a totally different school. Jesus, what a shmuck!...
