..Get What You Want!!!
(R.Stones, Beggars Banquet, 1968)
I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...

"Just as every cop is a criminal.."
(Sympathy For The Devil, R. Stones, Beggars Banquet, 1968)
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
...
Oh yeah, get on down
...
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
...
Oh, yeah
What's me name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
...
Oh, yeah
Although I was requesting MTU for a short/summary report about the rally/demo last Sun., till now I got nothing...
But yesterday morning I found on 'Migrant Workers'(Internet) Broadcasting' following article about it(in Korean):
위원장 석방과 노조 탄압 분쇄를 위한 이주노조 투쟁대회 |
"우리는 결코 흔들리지 않을 것"
이주노조는 독자적인 이주노동자들의 노동조합을 세운 이후에 힘겨운 길을 걸어왔다. 그 중에서도 이주노조 위원장의 연행과 더불어 이주노동자들에게 처해진 극심한 단속은 누구나 인정하고 있는 것처럼 이주노동자들의 노동권과 생존권을 위협하는 행위였다. 샤킬 이주노조 직무대행은 “이주노동자들에 대한 단속이 더욱 심해졌다”며 “여성 남성 가리지 않고 수갑까지 채워가면서 알몸수색을 하고 있다. 일하다 다쳐도 치료받지 못하고 비인권적 단속에 시달리는 이주노동자들의 권리는 반드시 이 땅에서 보장받아야 한다” 면서 이주노조를 인정할 때까지 투쟁하겠다는 결의를 보여주었다.

...The Insanity Is Going On, But Not Everything Is Lost!
While the battle about the Danish cartoons(http://blog.jinbo.net/CINA/?cid=4&pid=497) still is going on(Last weekend alone in Libya many 'protesters' were killed by police/please remember that in states such as Libya, Iran or Syria no rally or demo is allowed without the explicit permission by the 'authorities'... and then they're shooting at the 'protestors'... The government of Iran is preparing for a 'Scientific Holocaust Conference', one of the leading Iranian newspapers is calling for a 'Holocaust Cartoon Competition... And just some days ago influential Muslims in Pakistan and India offered Millions of Dollars for the killing of the Danish cartoonists...), a group of Israeli artists decided to strike back. But not by attacking, stoning or torching embassies of Muslim countries.. but by "defuse the hatred and fear... by the means of humor".
Read more about this(nice, just in my opinion..) story here:
Is anti-Semitic humor funny?
Israeli artist announces competition for anti-Semitic caricatures created by Jews; 'this will show the world how sane we are,' he believes |
A cheap provocation or an attempt to engender a sincere discussion of how caricatures influence society? This is a question that Amitai Sandy of Dimona Comix Publishing will soon have to answer as the sponsor of an Israeli competition of anti-Semitic caricatures.
Sandy, who has been following the recent Muhammad cartoon episode with astonishment (he says it went completely out of control), decided to respond with a small provocation of his own.
“We decided to respond to riots in which people are being killed in because of caricatures,” Sandy told Ynet. “We think the easiest thing to do is to laugh at others. It's much more challenging to find your own weaknesses."
"So we decided to set a personal example. Anti-Semitism is always current, so after the Danes laughed at the Moslems and the Moslems initiated a competition of Holocaust jokes, we thought that as long as we are dealing with stereotypes, let’s test our own limits. We want caricaturists and illustrators to submit Jewish anti-Semitic caricatures. It will be good to refresh our anti-Semitic resources,” he said.
Sandy admits that the initiative is provocative. But he also says provocations "enrich" our milieu.
"It's always surprising to discover that messages that appear extreme speak to a much wider than expected audience,” he said.
'Terms have been cheapened'
Sandy claimed he has a serious message that goes beyond being provocative
“It’s forbidden to censure cartoons and stupid to burn books, newspapers, or anything, because of them. This may sound a bit left-wing, but this is who we are. Just like the settlers have used the Holocaust for their purposes hundreds of times – from Amona 'pogrom' to the 'holocaust' of Gush Katif," he said.
"The terms have been so cheapened that we see no reason not to appropriate Jewish stereotypes ourselves,” he added.
Sandy created the logo for the competition from three Nazi caricatures, one of which he says appeared in a Yiddish newspaper.
“From research we did in preparation for a competition in Bet Ariela we learned that in the history of Jewish cartoons the number of images taken directly from Der Sturmer is not negligible”, he said. "Introspective Jewish cartoons have often provided material for anti-Semitic propaganda.”
The competition, which is open to Jewish artists worldwide, was officially announced on the website and the sponsors will accept caricatures, illustrations and short comic strips that “express hatred of Jews as insolently as possible.”
According to a statement to the press, prizes will also include matza baked with the blood of Christian children.
Palestine on brink as Hamas takes over
Hamas' new PLC speaker on Sunday
The militant group's government is beseiged by threats of boycotts from home and abroad
Conal Urquhart in Ramallah
Sunday February 19, 2006
The Observer
Israel has promised to enforce an economic blockade of Palestinian areas, while the European Union and America say they will withhold aid unless Hamas renounces violence and recognises Israel. Hamas also faces strong internal opposition, with some members of the Fatah party, which until the elections dominated Palestinian life, determined to obstruct the new government in every way they could.
At the meeting of the Palestinian Legislative Council in the government compound in Ramallah, Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, told Hamas it must form a government as quickly as possible, but laid down stringent conditions that contradict its declared aims. He said Hamas must respect all agreements made with Israel, which means the group must recognise Israel. Hamas calls for the destruction of the state of Israel in its charter and has rejected all previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements.
On a practical level, Hamas has accepted many of the President's principles. Apart from a few isolated incidents, it suspended military activities more than a year ago and its participation in government and elections implies recognition of the agreements - and the existence of Israel. However, it is reluctant to abandon its aggressive rhetoric or recognise Israel until the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza.
Within an hour of the inauguration of the new parliament, the first divisions emerged. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza City, said it rejects negotiation while Palestinian territory is occupied. Hamas will propose Ismail Haniyeh, one of the Hamas leaders in Gaza, as Prime Minister. He said he hoped a compromise could be reached, despite conflicting views.
'We will deal with this difference in the political position... through dialogue and understanding, to preserve the national unity of the Palestinian people and promote the higher interests of our people,' he said.
In spite of the conciliatory rhetoric of Abbas and Haniyeh, the Palestinians face an extremely difficult task in bridging the positions of Hamas and Fatah. Although Hamas control 56 per cent of the seats, it won only 44 per cent of the vote, with Fatah receiving 42 per cent. According to Khalil Shiqaqi, a Ramallah-based election analyst, if Fatah had organised its candidates better it would have won a further 16 seats and the election.
Consequently, many Fatah members see the result as an aberration thrown up by the voting system rather than the will of the people. 'Some Fatah people are already talking about fresh elections tomorrow,' he added.
Last week the New York Times reported that Israel and the US had decided to isolate the new Hamas government and lay the ground for a political crisis which would lead to fresh elections.
In addition to the international opposition, there are a raft of measures available to Fatah to hold Hamas back. The President has an effective veto on any legislation and Fatah dominates the ministries of government and security agencies. Hamas is further constrained by Israel's control of the Palestinian territories and the importance of international donations to prop up an economy severely damaged by the effects of more than 20 years of conflict with Israel.
Nashat Aqtash, Hamas's media adviser during the elections, said he believed Hamas would be able to weather the initial storm and force Fatah to deal with its government constructively.
'Hamas had all its leaders deported by Israel in 1992 and imprisoned by the PA in 1996. Many of the leaders were assassinated by Israel. Despite this, it has continued to grow in popularity and strength. Either Fatah will get on the Hamas train or will disappear as a political force. The good people in Fatah have already been making contact to explore how everyone can work together,' he added.

고맙습니다!!
While tomorrow the new elected Palestinian parliament will come together the first time and Hamas will possibly create the new government, the Israeli government, but also the US administration and the EU will prepare for a possible full boycott of the PA and the Palestinian territories.
Read more about it and the catastrophic consequences for the Palestinian population here:
Olmert mulls sanctions on Hamas-led PA
Sanctions may include ban on Palestinian workers entering country.(Jerusalem Post, 2.17)
PA minister: Economic siege will cause chaos
(Yedioth Ahronoth/Ynet, 2.16)
Ynet interviews Palestinian deputy finance minister who expresses hope international community, Israel will not go ahead with threats to curtail aid and divert tax rebates; warns economic siege will cause chaos
The security establishment on Thursday made a number of recommendations to the government about how to impose economic restraints on a Hamas-led government.
The recommendations included the curbing of fund transfers to the PA, the prevention of movement from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank, an effort to stop donations to the Palestinians, and a ban on the entry of Palestinian laborers starting this coming week.
What are the implications of these measures on the Palestinian economy? How would they influence the daily life of the Palestinians?
Ynet met Palestinian Deputy Finance Minister Saeb Bamiyeh to discuss these issues and many more.
The United States has declared that it will curtail aid to the Palestinian Authority should Hamas form the next government, European leaders are inclined to adopt a similar stance, and Israel is weighing a freeze of tax collection on behalf of the Palestinians. What will happen should these threats be adopted?
I expect the transfer of tax rebates and customs to continue. Israel is collecting the taxes because it is not ready to let us do so. Is the Israeli government planning to freeze the transfers and cause anarchy or to confiscate monies that belong to others? Will international donors want to punish the Palestinian people? I believe that both Israel and international donors will not rush to implement the threats. They will wait to see how things develop in Ramallah.
And should Israel freeze the transfer of tax rebates, what will happen?
It will be a catastrophe. The Palestinian Authority has a deficit of USD 650 million, some 13 percent of the GDP. The Authority depends on these funds. It is fighting every month to pay its employees. On the tenth of this month we received January’s salaries but if the Authority does not get the money there will be no salary for February.
The Palestinian government employs 150,000 people; about a third of the Palestinian workforce. If the Authority’s employees do not get paid, they will become unemployed and unemployment will reach 70 percent, probably the highest in the world. The Authority pays USD 100 million in salaries every month, over USD 1 billion a year. If the Authority stops paying salaries the Palestinian GDP will shrink by 12 percent and become lower than the average GDP in Africa.
Two thirds of the Palestinian population lives below the poverty line, surviving on less than NIS 1000 (about USD 110) a month per family. The average Palestinian eats one meal a day. Authority workers, the children and relatives they support amount to 1 million people. If the Authority collapses, nearly all Palestinians will live off less than few hundreds of shekels a month. The Palestinian economy simply won’t exist.
Our security establishment recommended the government curbs trade with the Palestinian Authority and many Israeli are calling on the government to scrap trade relations altogether. Should this happen what will be the implications for the Palestinian people?
Total chaos. The Palestinian economy is completely dependent on the Israeli economy. The Palestinian workforce produces more than 90 percent of products for the Israeli market and 80 percent of Palestinian imports are from Israel.
Hamas leaders have warned they are not concerned by threats to curtail aid. They say the Palestinians are willing to starve for its cause and the Palestinian Authority can tap Iran and Saudi Arabia for assistance.
I totally disagree with them. Even if Iran agrees to assist with billions of dollars we know that this money will be difficult to reach the PA. If they want to make political statements of this kind for political propaganda, they are more than welcome to do so. Hamas has to understand that we have no alternative but to cooperate with Israel. They have to learn to play within the rules accepted by the international community and they will do so.
