Götterdämmerung and self defense

poor ego;
orphan child of the war between a harsh super-ego and an irresistible id
what's an ego to do....
it comes up with defense mechanisms...
from the semi conscious ones to the sub conscious ones
from simple ones to elaborate ones
from well concealed ones to obvious one
projection, denial, repression, supression, reaction formation, humor, altruisim, sublimation, rationalization, intellectualization, dissocaition, undoing, splitting, and last but not least :
projective identification.......
the most primitive yet most elaborate...What is projected is most often an intolerable, painful, or dangerous idea or belief about the self that the person cannot tolerate....it may be directed toward the ideal object to avoid separation........
for now i will stick with my own defense, " the little prince" defense and live on b612....
i am a contemplating moving there soon.....

A revolution in the arab world ?

maybe everybody will more relaxed and calm down....
an interesting german perspective ....(from der spiegel)

the lion's den

Just read this disturbing article from TIME.
the hypocrisy it revealed is sickening. The great syrian baath regime, the daily lecturers to the lebanese among others; on arabism, nationalism, pride, and "resistance", is no more than the torture bitch of the CIA.
The regime accuses most lebanese of being anti arab, pro israel, anti "resistance" traitors, and wanabee phoenicians, but they gladly oblige and torture their own citizens for the CIA.
To be fair other countries do it or facilitate it, but they have the common sense to stay quiet about it or just stay quiet in general. Is the syrian militaristic-fascist regime(SMFR) experiencing a severe case of reaction formation?
It will be fun how the local lebanese gimps of SMFR will deal with this story, other than deny it as an imperialist plot hatched by the great satan to embarrass them.
Especially now, since the protector and number one super best friend of hassan and the "resistance" seems to be sleeping with enemy.
So maybe hassan and his friends; the last bastions of resistance , honor , and pride in the levant should be a little more careful, because if the nice men in black ski masks ask very , very nicely, he might be making a surprise trip to palestine.
Not the palestine he wants to liberate but the little piece of hell on earth, Palestine branch prison in Damascus.
The name of this little den of horrors in itself is another extreme case of reaction formation.

moving on to another amusing subject (briefly): If generalismo aoun was such good friends with hassan, why didn't he ask him to use his divine powers and intervene with god to make sure the weather stays good for the orange parade. Too bad it was cancelled :)
My chemical romance sums up my mood, disgust, dissappointment , with a little hope. listen

yet another arab contribution to science

this latest invention by arab young women will surely compete for next year's noble prize; a very serious and dangerous problem has been solved by this great scientific invention....
This might be even greater than the robotic camel jockeys recently invented to replace the asian underage boy camel jockeys ...

lost boy

i stumbled across this article and i had a flashback...
when i was little i also used to draw tanks, bombs, planes and guns ....
the first time someone pointed it out was i went to school outside lebanon, the art teacher was concerned about my drawings....
have many of us who grew up during the hawadith internalized collective ptsd and it has warped our psyche forever...
sometimes, i still catch myself doodling....tanks and bombs....
