Israel - ’We Are Untouchable’
20 August 2006Tout est dit dans cette analyse qui, d’une part, met noir sur blanc la perversité de l’utilisation inqualifiable du malheur subi et, d’autre part, défie, se gausse et va même jusqu’à faire semblant de s’étonner de la docilité des inconditionnels.
Seule la psychiatrie est qualifiée pour tenter de soigner cette nouvelle forme de folie criminelle si bien analysée.Qui aura la thérapeutique idée de sortir du placard la camisole de force ? En effet, avant de soigner, il est indispensable de faire cesser le massacre; en d’autres termes: la diplomatie devrait, dans le cas d’espèce, être dans le wagon de queue du train blindé du gendarme international.
Les médias que nous subissons encore sont d’un seul coup relégués dans les oubliettes de l’obscurantisme et du Moyen-Age."De bois" la langue devient “de plomb” et fait piquer du nez aux zélés serviteurs d’un actionnariat complice et tout aussi condamnable.
