WHO THE HECK IS THIS?



okay okay, you might be wondering why the hell is her picture doing in my blog, looking at u frm an awkward angle with a wierd look on her face.. So let me introduce her:


Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, is a retired U.S. Air Force officer whose assignments included work as a Pentagon desk officer and in a variety of roles for the National Security Agency.(NESA) Since retiring, she has become a noted critic of the U.S. government's involvement in Iraq.

Colonel Kwiatkowski is primarily noted for openly and publicly denouncing what she sees as a corrupting political influence on the course of military intelligence leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

In the latter piece, titled "The New Pentagon Papers", she wrote:

"I witnessed neoconservative agenda bearers within OSP usurp measured and carefully considered assessments, and through suppression and distortion of intelligence information promulgate what were in fact falsehoods to both Congress and the executive office of the president."

Kwiatkowski exposed how a clique of officers led by retired Navy Captain Bill Luti, assistant secretary of defense, and former aid of Dick Cheney when the later was Secretary of Defense, took control of the military intelligence, and how the "Office of Special Plans" (OSP) grew and eventually turned into a censorship and disinformation organism controlling the NESA.

Following the American Conservative and Salon articles, Kwiatkowski began to receive criticism from several conservative sources that supported President Bush's policies. (unsurprisingly)


A particular comment by her interested me:

"I came to share with many NESA colleagues a kind of unease, a sense that something was awry. What seemed out of place was the strong and open pro-Israel and anti-Arab orientation in an ostensibly apolitical policy-generation staff within the Pentagon."



Compare that agitation with these recent snippets of news, as of 20/12/2004:

An attack on a United States military base in Mosul leaves 15 dead and at least 55 injured, marking the greatest number of casualties in a single strike on the U.S.-led coalition since the start of the war.- taken from Associated Press news.
(further justification for the continuation of the battle against the non-existant saddam terrorist threat innit?)


How bout this?

U.S. President George W Bush is named "Person of the Year" by TIME magazine. -Time, December issue 2004.


One person would certainly be turning in his grave upon hearing the line above.



the Che in happier times

Che Guevara, the revolutionary right hand aide of Fidel Castro in the struggle for Cuba rejected a comfortable bourgeois background to fight for those who were deprived of political power and economic stability.

And when he gained power in Cuba, he gave up all the trappings of privilege and power in Cuba in order to return to the revolutionary battlefield, fighting for the Bolivian Communists against the capitalist rule of President Rene Barrientos and ultimately, to die.

Oh, And that happened in the hands of the American CIA ,in which CIA operatives were sent into Bolivia to aid the anti-insurrection effort, where the pro-Barrientos Bolivian Army was being trained by
U.S. Army Special Forces advisors, to "smoke 'em out".





And smoke the poor fella out they did.



WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ALL THIS INFORMATION , U MIGHT THINK?

I mean, why should we care bout world affairs right, cause we're living here in sunny Singapore which is really really safe u know,its like, forget those things lah we're far away frm those tempestous problems so thus we don't need to care and only need to snuggle up to our babes , decked in cute mesh caps and all, flashin our bling blings y'know ma homie?




you're damn right bout that.

ignorance is bliss.

And btw, have a Merry Christmas, ho! ho! ho!

GRRR



Sweet, little cute baby darls. Never had this much fun in awhile, entertaining them bundles of joy, listening to them telling their playtime stories with wide-eyed enthusiasm, cooking for them those favourite egg sandwiches that I now can expertly whip up in a few minutes, seeing how funny they look wearing those oversized tee shirts which I gladly lent, relenting to their chants for that, that awaited Bed">bedtime story to set them off in transit towards Never, Neverland. I'm not sugarcoating this, but to bask in the serenity of witnessing childhood innocence, absolute bliss. As I gaze intently at their faces, the thought of my own childhood nostalgia inadvertantly rushes back. Of times with Dad. Yeah

To think that i'm writing this on paperback in the dark, by the sofa, looking over them, ensuring each one sleeps soundly; don't really mind it at all. Though, I feel a soft spot for two of my cousins. Mamat & Nurul. Broken family at such a young age. Victims of circumstance, and I pity them. And so I resolved to myself to ensure that I could at least try to brighten up their day, playing with them, tickling them till faces turn beetroot red, so that they won't feel gloomy in the absence of parental love. Mamat is cuddly and amazingly smart & bubbly, & I don't want him to ever lose that zest, or become like me when he grows up, an emotional wreck. Come to think of it, it's almost a similar parallel: separated from a particular loved one at six, with dad formerly doting on the son; I hope those memories won't come back to haunt him negatively in the future, as much as my own memories are eating into me now. I can't help it, can I?

Gonna bring them to the playground tomorrow, to play some catch and terrorize those other kids in the neighbourhood.

My cousins are the 'little Mafia', & i'm their Godfather.

I don't even care if that sounds corny.

Signing off,
