The Exile and his problems
There are problems and then there are problems. Mine are actually a rather nice set of problems to have. Have I awakened your curiosity? Then take a trip over to The Money Blog and read this posting. All will then be revealed... |
This month's cull looks set to be low: here's why
I just want to get this in before a wankblogger does. At the time of writing the cull of American occupiers in Iraq for the month of October stands at 36. I can just smell the eagerness with which the tossers will start to claim that this proves that the tide has turned, and that soon - very soon - the guerrillas will march out to surrender. Then will come the victory parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, as Iraq's defeated and humiliated leadership is marched past the podium where the chimp will stand, a smirk of pure triumph on his face. After being forced to kneel to kiss the presidential banner, they will be taken off to Guantanamo to provide a spot of free entertainment for the knuckle dragging sadists who run that torture centre. You can almost smell the semen as the world of wankbloggery starts pulling on their collective todgers and shooting all over their monitors. There are two slight problems with this scenario: The first is that 2007 look set to be the bloodiest year for the Americans since their war against Iraq began in 2003. Just ten more Americans dead and it will be the bloodiest year up to now - and Iraq has two long months to reach that tally. The second problem is that the USA has basically given up trying to fight the Iraqis on the ground and has started bombing the shit out of them from the air. Obviously given those circumstances the number of targets that are presented for the Iraqi forces to aim at is lower than it was when the Americans were still trying to subjugate the country on the ground. In the long run, of course, all the terror raids will do is create more guerrillas, but in the short term it could provide an opportunity for the 101st Fighting Keyboarders to claim something or other. Sorry, boys, no such claims will be entertained. |

My new article directory is coming soon
I am creating an article directory. What's that, I hear you ask? Well, it's a directory for articles... Seriously, a free article is a good way for a writer to get himself known, and the article directories are where they are stored. Bloggers can take an article and repost it free of charge. The blogger gets some easy content and the writer gets the links that are contained in the "About The Author" section at the bottom of every article. The situation seems like win - win to me. The only problem is that many bloggers have complained to me that finding a suitable article is a long, time-consuming chore. That is why I decided not to submit my any more of my stuff to the free directories. I have space over at Ask-Ken.Info, so I will create the directory over there. For the time being it will only have articles of interest to money-bloggers and those interested in politics from my own anti-globalist perspective. The directory should be live in a few days time, and I'll let you know when you can start grabbing stuff from it to fill your blogs. |
Americans may use Diego Garcia has base for attack on Iran
Word is leaking out that the Americans are upgrading the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean in preparation for the attack on Iran. The base is British owned, but leased to the USA. So even if the United Kingdom doesn't take an active part in the coming aggression it will still be seen by many people as a participant in this war. Is it time to laugh or cry? |

The future of third world resistance
Francis Fukuyama has an interesting analysis of America's failure to coerce the Iraqis into submission. He argues that: At least part of the problem is that it is dealing with complex social forces that are not organised into centralised hierarchies that can enforce rules, and thus be deterred, coerced, or otherwise manipulated through conventional power. Translated into simple English, the Iraqis have no central authority that can betray them and each group fights under its own leader. This is something that I have been arguing since at least 2004: What all this seems to show is that those who are waiting for a Ho Chi Minh or Fidel Castro Ruz to emerge and lead the people to independence are probably going to be disappointed. There is no national leadership behind the Iraqi insurrection. The guerrillas are locally based and what leadership there is only operates at regional or tribal level. This is the future and this is how the third world will defeat the first, whenever the latter is foolish enough to invade. The south of the planet cannot take on the north with high technology, so the north is basically invited in - and then the door is slammed shut. Weak third world states will collapse like a house of cards, and then the families, clans and tribes will take over and that is when the fun begins. The internet means that methods used by one resistance centre can be studied by others. Ideas can be swapped and tactics improved. You don't have to wait until something has been proven, if the idea looks promising you use it and improve on it yourself. Others copy your example. It is called open source warfare and it works very well indeed. This is the future. Local resistance, drawing on age-old human links, and turning the west's inventions, such as the internet, against its inventors. |

Have Google Screwed up their PageRankings?
There are an awful lot of angry bloggers tonight and the situation is liable to get worse. Google have updated their PageRankings and screwed almost everyone with their PageRankings. If you wnat to read more about this, The Money Blog is the forum where I am screaming along with everyone else! |
Afghan War Lost, Says Ashdown
Lord Ashdown, has admitted that the war against Afghanistan is a lost cause. If even the hawk formerly known as Paddy Pantsdown is willing to admit that the game is up, what exactly is the British government doing sending yet more men into the Afghan mincing machine? That it has come to this should not surprise anyone. People who supported the Soviet involvement in that primitive backwater were living in a fantasy world if they thought that a collection of tribes could be proletarianised courtesy of the great Red Army. Likewise those pro-American imperialists who thought that inside every Afghan tribesman was a post-modern meterosexual just waiting to break free and let it all hang out were equally mistaken. People, you can take the inbred primitive out of the hills but you can never take the hills out of the inbred primitive. All that aside, this is a defeat for imperialism, and not for us. The return of the Taliban is a humiliation for our own home grown ruling class who decided to support this adventure in the first place. We can help stick the boot in by questioning the judgement of people who supported this doomed adventure. Thus we loosen the hegemonic bonds which tie us as working class people to them, our rulers. If we can get to the stage, at least, where people no longer believe a word that the political class utters, then we will be better placed to offer our own collectivist solution to our country's problems. As always, the enemy is at home. Let's start taking advantage of his problems in the hope of solving some of our own. |

The Exile's second birthday
The Exile is two years old today. During those two years the blog has had over 25,000 hits and this is posting number 666. . . Here's to the next year. |
America's options in Kurdistan
The longer a war continues the more chance there is that it will spread and suck in other countries. What started as a European war in 1939 had spread two years later to involve just about every major country on the planet. The war that the Americans have waged against Iraq since 2003 has now reached the stage where other countries are starting to get dragged in. The Turks are a case in point. As we pointed out last night, the Americans are now so desperate to keep Turkey out of the war that they are close to attacking the Kurds themselves. Now the Kurds are America's allies in this war, but that doesn't matter. What matters is keeping Turkey out of the war, so if that means that Washington has to betray those allies, then so be it. Realpolitik dictates that Turkey is a far more important ally, so the Kurds are on the cusp of being dumped. Quite what the effect will be on America's other allies when they see one of their number getting chopped in such a cynical way is anyone's guess, but that is not the point. The point is that the Americans don't have that many choices left. If the Turks carry out their threat and attack themselves, that will drive the Kurds into the arms of the anti-occupation resistance, because the USA will not fight Turkey. If the Americans hit the Kurds on Turkey's behalf, then Washington will have to gamble that they can control their puppets in Baghdad and keep them quiet, probably with yet more billions of fast devaluing dollars. However the Kurds will still join the resistance. America is fucked either way. That's what happens when you start a war. You can never predict the outcome. |

America to bomb the Kurds
Bush has told the Turks that they don't need to attack Iraqi Kurdistan: he'll do it for them! If this report is correct then it is quite wonderful news. Iraqi Kurdistan has up to now been loyal and faithful to the Chimp's war aims. An American bombing campaign will change that in an instant. |
Iraqi collaborators: we are keeping them out!
Exactly three months ago this blog accidentally started the campaign to keep over 20,000 Iraqi collaborators out of the UK. At the time The Exile didn't realise that a campaign was being waged to bring these creatures over to Britain, a campaign orchestrated by someone who wanted to work his ticket into journalism. Within days of that original posting it became clear what the score was, as more and more warmongers jumped on the bandwagon and began demanding that these traitors be given a home in Britain. Not a single one of them ever mentioned the British soldiers who continued to die in the lost war that they are so enthusiastically cheered on. All that mattered to them was saving a few collaborators, thus to have one victory to cheer about. However, their campaign quickly ran off the rails, and almost exactly two months ago this blog could run a posting entitled Has the campaign to bring over 20,000 Iraqi collaborators failed? Today we can answer our question in the affirmative because those creatures who decided to throw in their lot with imperialism are being left to rot. We cannot yet rest on our laurels as the position may change, but it must be admitted that this seems less and less likely. Nevertheless, the talking points that I posted over two months ago are still valid and will still make a good letter to a local newspaper. |

Polish troops to leave Iraq
Following their surprise win in Sunday's election, the right-wing Civic Platform has pledged to dump Iraq in America's lap by withdrawing their remaining troops from the country next year. Although the few hundred remaining Polish troops cannot effect the military outcome one way or the other, their retreat will hearten the guerrillas as one more of Iraq's enemies is forced to leave the field. It sends a signal to all Iraqis that the occupiers can be outlasted and forced to withdraw in disgrace. |

Santa Muerte & Good Time Girls Are The Exile's Most Popular Articles
Work this one out if you can. I submit articles to two sites that pay on the basis of hits. Associated Content forks out $1.50 per thousand views (CPM) and Helium pays out at an unknown, but lesser, CPM rate. The two articles that are pretty much leading the field on both sites are the two that I never expected to get anywhere. With Helium the leader is an article about la Santa Muerte, the new religion that swept out of Mexico and is now to be found as far south as Argentina and as far north as California. Meanwhile, and over at AC, the article that almost 300 people have now read is the one about Mexico City's good time girls. I sometimes wonder if the title of that article was a bit of a misnomer, since it is really about the young Mexican women who are trying to make a career out of marriage, but if it sells under that title, who cares? I wouldn't mind but I have articles on all sorts of subjects on both Helium and AC, but those two are leading the pack on both sites - it is just that the positions are almost reversed. Almost because coming in at the number two spot at Helium is an article about the French-Indian War. So why are people hitting on these two articles? I wish that I knew, but one thing is certain: a lot more on a similar theme will be churned out soon. Easy money, folks. You know it makes sense. |
Blackwater is leaving Iraq
Blackwater, the American mercenary company, is leaving Iraq. Reports indicate that they are pulling out at the rate of over a 100 men a day. Both Sunni and Shia groups have united in vowing to make life hell for the mercenaries who have carried out so many atrocities in their country. Of course the only reason why these dogs of capitalism are in Iraq in the first place is that the American army cannot control the country. Get rid of that occupation and the mercenaries will leave. Iraqi anger at these goons is understandable, but they should not allow themselves to be sidetracked into ignoring the American occupation forces. Strategy needs to be considered. The enemy of Iraq is the USA. Iraqi heroism has almost forced the British out and will do the same to the Americans, but if Iraqi forces go off on a wild mercenary hunt all they will do is allow the Americans to rest and take stock. The American army has been weakened by the Iraqi Resistance. If pushed they can be defeated just as their British puppets were defeated. So push them, Iraq. Push them until they can stand it no longer. |
Britain helping the Americans to provoke Iran
Normally operations carried out by Britain's Special Air Services regiment are kept top secret, so why is The Times carrying a report about SAS operations inside Iran? Obviously it was leaked by the NuLabour regime in London to the Murdock owned scab sheet, but why? It could be a part of the propaganda war that is being waged by Washington against Tehran. The Americans claim that Iran supplies weaponry and training to the Iraqi guerrillas, so British operations like this, and leaks to the press about them, can be seen as part of the British elite's attempt to remain firmly inside their American master's bum hole. For Britain, this is a dangerous move. The army is stretched to the limit and has even been forced to cut back on the number of exercises that it carries out. Furthermore, the British occupation force at Basra Airport now number only 5,000, so if Tehran does take the bait their chances of survival would seem to be pretty remote. Does NuLabour care? Of course not! The aim is to remain loyal to the United States at all costs - even if that means sacrificing the troops who still remain in Iraq. For their part the Iranians have kept a low profile and are not responding directly to the provocations. They have made it clear that they can reply effectively if attacked - their latest claim is that they can fire over 10,000 rockets within a minute - but they seem determined that the attack will be launched by the USA and not them. British anti-war activists need to redouble their efforts to get the remaining British troops out of Iraq as quickly as possible, so that London cannot offer them up as a sacrifice to America's war aims. |

Bolivia may be on the verge of civil war
The airport at Santa Cruz, Bolivia, has been occupied by over 7,000 demonstrators who forced the retreat os the 220 troops that President Evo Morales sent in to occupy the complex. In theory this is a dispute over landing rights, but what we are actually seeing is the start of a secession movement in the gas rich province, which is home to about 25% of the Bolivian population. In a country where most of the population are landless American-Indians, the Morales government came into office promising land reform and large scale nationalisations. The eastern province of Santa Cruz is home to the wealthy landowners who have dominated the country since independence in the Nineteenth Century. It is also where almost all the natural gas fields are to be found. The previous government sold off the production rights to this gas at knock down prices and that was one of then factors that led to the election of Evo Morales in 2006. He is now being pushed by his supporters not to back down over land reform and nationalisation. On the other side sit the largely ethnic European population of Santa Cruz. They have never accepted Morales' presidency, nor his economic programme. It looks as if Santa Cruz has decided that the airport is as good a place as any to make their stand for virtual independence from the central government. If Morales backs down he runs the risk of being overthrown by his own outraged supporters. If he doesn't, then the government will have to use far more than 220 troops to retake the airport. The potential consequences of that are not hard to imagine. |

Ollie Kamm: thick as pig shit and doesn't care who knows it
The People spoke and they decided by a free and fair vote that Ollie Kamm was not just a short-arsed little fucker, but that he was thick as pig shit to boot. Right on cue, the SALF popped up and proved the point with an idiotic attack on Neil Clark. You can understand the SALF's desire to recover some face, especially after doing such a precipitate runner from me over at Harry's Place. The problem is that all the SALF has managed to do is to show how correct the people were when they decided that he is as thick as pig shit. OK, the tale it too tedious to relate in full, but the gist is that Ollie wants us to believe that Neil arranged with a friend of his for the friend to defend him against some criticism or other. Ollie claimed that this Stephen Pollard blog posting had comments by this "accomplice" of Neil Clark in which "Mr Clark's accomplice cheerfully owns up to the imposture". The problem is that the comments show nothing of the kind - and the only way you could read them in that light is if you were thick as pig shit yourself. There are two of them by a Martin Meenagh, who blogs at this link, and in the second he states quite clearly that he wasn't "urged by Neil to object" to anything. He just thought that what was happening was "unfair," so he gave some support. The SALF then commented that he "naturally" accepted this explanation! So what we have here is a SALF who is either too stupid to remember what he wrote, or who thinks that we aren't going to read the damned text that he so kindly provided for us. Ollie Kamm: a short-arsed little fucker who is thick as fucking pig shit and doesn't care who knows it! Labels: Gimlet |
The day Sarko copped a feel
 As news of President Nicolas Sarkozy's divorce comes though, it seemed like a good idea to run again the photo of him copping a feel of some bird's tit. |
Meeting Resistance: a film about Iraq's heroes
What would you do if your country was invaded? So runs the opening line of the synopsis to this new documentary about the Iraqi Resistance. Filmed when westerners could still move around Iraq, Meeting Resistance shows the human side to the resistance by concentrating on ten individuals who together are presented as being typical of the movement that has fought capitalism's dogs of war to a standstill. What would you do if your country was invaded? Hopefully you would behave as these heroes have behaved. Put aside your differences and get the foreigners out. Leave everything else on the back burner until your country is liberated. |
Independent runs a government hand out as news story
The Independent is a strong supporter of the European Union, but does that mean that they have to take government handouts and reprint them as news stories? This is from The Independent, and this is the handout. Note the similarities? Cheers to The Spectator for breaking this story. |

Portable DVD players from www.digitalframez.com
At first glance this is one advert to keep away from the children. Mine have been pestering me for some time to get them a portable DVD player so that they don't get bored during long car journeys. I've been playing stupid for years, but at these prices I think that I might relent. Just in case you are not familiar with these devices, the one that digitalframez.com has on offer comes with a 10" screen, a battery that is good for at least four hours of play, and an adapter that allows them to be plugged into a car's cigarette lighter socket. It will also play VCDs and MP3 disks. That should keep them quiet until you reach your destination. The really nice thing about digitalframez.com is that they not only ship worldwide, but they accept payment in all the major currencies. If you are reading this in the UK, then the cost of a portable 10 inch DVD player from this site is just £116.77. My Mexican friends will pay only $2,580.78M.N. I doubt if you could get something of this quality in either the UK or Mexico for that price. |

Will Russia now defend Iran?
President Vladimir Putin who is on a state visit to Tehran has issued a warning to the USA not to attack Iran. Putin stopped short of offering a security guarantee to the Iranians, but the fact that he went to Tehran and spoke out so strongly is almost certain to raise morale amongst Iranians, whilst at the same time giving cause for concern to the warmongers. As Neil Clark points out, what is needed is a defence agreement between all those countries that are opposed to the further advance of globalised capitalism. Had such an agreement been possible in the 1930s, it might have stopped the march of German expansionism in its tracks. Obviously it wasn't possible 70 years ago, but could it be done today? It needs Russia to offer those guarantees, and to say to the dogs of globalisation: this far and no further! |

Hugo Chavez Frias - His Greatest Hits
| Have you ever wondered why Hugo Chavez Frias so dominates Venezuelan politics, to say nothing of a large part of the rest of the world? Here are some of the reasons. . . Josefina Lazama is one of the reasons, and you can listen to her words as part of the "Venezuela under Chavez" report from the BBC. The same report also shows how the tiendas populares work - cheap, subsidised, basic food for the bulk of the population. The middle class hate and fear him - as we found out when some bimbo came along to this blog giving it gob - but Chavez Frias doesn't even pretend to represent those creatures. He speaks for the bulk of the population and they support his revolution. Washington is willing to live and let live, and the countries of South America are lining up to do deals with Venezuela - either because they agree with the policies, or because Chavez Frias is just too popular to ignore. People who think that socialism is dead really are living in a fantasy world. Latin America is showing the way, and it's the old, tried and tested way: collectivise the economy and tax the middle class into the ground. |
London faces up to reality and seeks deal with Taliban
The Exile loves a good Whitehall spin, especially when it is covering up a defeat for imperialism. Yesterday's Guardian gave an example of such spin in action when it reported that the British plan "to split the Taliban by securing the defection of senior members of the militant group and large numbers of their followers". The report goes on the state that quite a few Taliban have already given up the fight and are coming over to the Kabul government's side. Buried a long way down the report is the killer paragraph: At the same time, however, British officials have concluded that the Taliban is too deep-rooted to be eradicated by military means. Following a wide-ranging policy review accompanying Gordon Brown's arrival in Downing Street, a decision was taken to put a much greater focus on courting "moderate" Taliban leaders as well as "tier two" footsoldiers, who fight more for money and out of a sense of tribal obligation than for the Taliban's ideology. The report then goes on to state that this policy has put London and Kabul at direct odds with Washington. . . Translated from spin into English, the Taliban have fought the invaders to a standstill and now something has to be conjured up that will persuade at least some of them to stop fighting. What will happen if it fails is still anyone's guess, but the fact that London is flying this kite against Washington's wishes suggests to this writer that things are liable to go pear-shaped sooner rather than later. The Taliban look set to retake a lot of the territory that they have lost during the recent fighting, and a new Taliban dominated region that includes a big chunk of Pakistan is clearly in the process of being created. Given that, a deal with some warlords strikes this writer as the least worst option on offer. Of course all those warmongers who supported the invasion of Afghanistan because it would lead to a flowering of liberalism in the country are going to be rather disappointed as girls cease to be educated and heretics are killed, but the issue for imperialism now is not tossing a few scraps to the suckers back in Southern England in return for their support. The issue now is holding together something that can realistically be called Afghanistan, and avoiding another Iraqi style disaster. |
Latest rightwing smear out of America
This smear campaign comes from Front Page Magazine, and purports to contain information about a "Who hates Americans? We do" demonstration. Antiwar.com pretty much nails this tosh down with the killer paragraph: There is, of course, no November 31, and no such event. "Latisha Freeman" is Horowitz-speak for any old schvartze; I leave it to you to figure out why they named the fictional superpatriot "K. Ike." None of the groups listed have this “event” mentioned on their websites, and a Google search produces only results from the original hoax article. But this failed effort at satire will almost certainly be taken as fact by Horowitz’s vicious, drooling followers. And the insinuation that Ron Paul, in particular, has any affiliation with Communist or Neo-Nazi groups is laughably false. |
Money making on the web: what to do and what to avoid
If anybody is interested in seeing how my easy money making wheezes are coming along, then The Money Blog is the place to go. Here is what to do, and this is about what to avoid. Basically, what I argue is the common sense approach that involves playing to your strengths and not your weaknesses. I like writing, so make most of my money from the sponsored postings. However, I also rake in a fair few bob from adverts and articles. Go and have a look. |

Discussing experiences of drug abuse at drugrehab.mobi
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of drug rehab comes before the treatment begins. That is when the person finally accepts the reality of his or her addiction. A blog exists to relate the stories of recovered addicts, and pretty heart-rending they are. One of the themes that comes up is how people who are in rehab find it amazing that there are actually lots of other people who are all in the same situation. They had thought that they were the only persons on earth who were experiencing exactly the same issues that they are going through. If for no other reason, this blog would serve a worthwhile purpose because it teaches people that they are not alone, and that very many more people have exactly the same experiences as them. However, the blog covers a lot more ground than that, and all in the words of recovered or recovering addicts, as well as their families. One man posted that he was the brother of a recovered addict and he had asked his sibling what the drug rehab therapy was like. The brother had replied by saying that it was a kind of liberation from being a prisoner in one's own body. This theme of liberation runs through the blog. Another poster writes that drug rehab left him a "changed person," and another states that it "changed my life". All in all, these accounts are depressing on the one hand, but uplifting on the other. Genuine testimony of people who have been through the mill and emerged, sane and healthy, at the end. |
Shall we give this girl a guest posting spot?
 What do we think about this? Well tasty, that we can all agree on. However, is it genuine? In theory the photo is of this correspondent, who is angling for a guest posting. The Exile is dubious, but thinks that she deserves a post for her cheek. |

Ollie Kamm: the people speak & The Exile keeps on laughing.
A week ago your friendly Exile had his ankle nibbled by a short-arsed little fucker named Ollie Kamm. Following this, the SALF did a runner, and has not been seen since, thus proving the point that I made last Saturday: more gob than a cow's got cunt, but no bottle at all. Like all his class: no balls for a ruck. Being a charitable soul, I put the matter to the vote. Is Ollie a thick cunt? Was he trying it on? Is he a precious short-arsed little fucker who was just so angry that he wanted to scream and scream again? Two votes came in for Ollie as pretty boy, and six for Ollie the thick as pig shit, short-arsed little fucker. So, the people having spoken, it is announced that Ollie Kamm is just fucking thick. And a short-arsed little fucker. . . Labels: Gimlet |
Is this the world's dumbest crook?
If you want a seriously good laugh then take a trip over to The Money Blog and watch the news report about this contender for the title of world's dumbest crook. A real Harry's Place commentator. . . I won't spoil the tale for you, but I do urge you to watch the report. At the time of writing it's the second one on the list. |
