Obsidional objurgation...




Douglas Murray has it almost right [Link] "The Paris attacks show that barbarians are inside the gate". "We don’t know who is here in our continent, and among those who are here there are too many who are active enemies of our societies and our way of life." We know this, everyone knows it; the only mystery is why governments and politicians not only ignore the obvious facts but actively and willingly - at complete opposition to the people of every nation they supposedly represent - take actions that can only exacerbate the problem by importing thousands more 'refugees'. Will the impitoyable war emerge? Or will another hash-tag, t-shirt wearing linked-armed and candle-lit vigil be the sum of all action?



Indeed, it's as Mark Steyn writes: The Barbarians Are Inside, And There Are No Gates [Link]
"I'm Islamed out. I'm tired of Islam 24/7, at Colorado colleges, Marseilles synagogues, Sydney coffee shops, day after day after day. The west cannot win this thing with a schizophrenic strategy of targeting things and people but not targeting the ideology, of intervening ineffectually overseas and not intervening at all when it comes to the remorseless Islamization and self-segregation of large segments of their own countries"..."So I say again: What's the happy ending here? Because if M Hollande isn't prepared to end mass Muslim immigration to France and Europe, then his "pitiless war" isn't serious. And, if they're still willing to tolerate Mutti Merkel's mad plan to reverse Germany's demographic death spiral through fast-track Islamization, then Europeans aren't serious."



Amen to that.




Update: apologies for lack of Ows comment but these guys write so well and their words are worth linking to.  Douglas Murray again: an update of an article earlier this year: "The West’s movement towards the truth is remarkably slow. We drag ourselves towards it painfully, inch by inch, after each bloody Islamist assault"... ..."the results of ongoing mass immigration to the West at the same time as a worldwide return to Islamic literalism means that this is now a problem for all of us. To stand even a chance of dealing with it, we are going to have to wake up to it and acknowledge it for what it is."  ...who thinks seriously that any of today's 'ruling' (not serving) politicians will do this?

Opposition offence...






...or, in Venezuela, it's an offence to be the Opposition, almost. The Organization of American States (OAS) has severely criticized Tibisay Lucena (the venal, corrupt and totally partisan [par for the course in most Venezuelan institutions] leader of Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE). [Reuters, also The Devil's Excrement] In a harshly-worded letter (ooooh) he wrote that Venezuelan authorities were failing to ensure fairness the coming 6th December fair elections.



The letter [here as PDF in English] [here PDF in Spanish] describes concerns regarding "the overall conditions of the process and the election campaign, an uneven playing field" putting it mildly in an "atmosphere characterized by serious political polarization and mistrust..."; use of funds for campaigns being abused with government candidates using national funds, the government deploying large numbers of civil servants and state resources for campaign purposes etc.



Reduced access to the [controlled] media. Contrived confusion on rigged ballots, with even new Krusty Nick Ripe speaking on national television assisting the cheat (he also 'promoted' an "ongoing campaign of threats and prosecution of workers, students, and popular sectors" along with the current president of the National Assembly Diosdado Cabello (Godgiven Hair), "who supports and promotes illegal activities of espionage and tracking of opponents."
Changing the rules of the game: blatant gerrymandering, disqualification of opposition candidates ("There have been cases where they were prejudged, with no possibility of getting their defense [sic] admitted." Investigation of political parties etc...



...you get the picture.

Oneirataxic omphaloskepsis...






Ooh, I do love easy to understand 'science', especially with even easier pictures to look at; 2% of the entire atmosphere are greenhouse gases; 4% of that 2% is CO2 and just 3.4% of that 4% is caused by human activity. Can this be shown in every school to reverse the climate drowning dog exploding child [yes, really!] brainwashing?



Please read yet another excellent WOWT guest post, plus all the comments if you dare; suffice to say that surely by now most sane climate alarmists and consensusites should be at least shuffling their feet and navel gazing.




omphaloskepsis

n. - contemplation of the navel for the purpose of obtaining philosophic calm [LL]

oneirataxia

n. - inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality

Ows oblectation...




...over the years. Owsblog began over ten years ago; I was unable to post on the actual 'birthday' (21st Sept) anniversary but decided to put the most viewed blog-post from each year as a present to myself. [edit] Interestingly the variety isn't as wide as you might expect; a few of the high rankings are just (I presume) people using Google for images and being led here; I'd say only five or so themes cover all ten posts whereas what I have posted most about doesn't figure at all (lucky I don't do it for money!) :-)

[Note: some of the links in the older posts are inactive]

2015 (YTD): obstreperous ogling oblectation: the Sun's Page 3 and will it /won't it continue.

2014: outbreak of oil odium: oil price control 'gloves are off' amongst producer and price setting countries; also the worry that so many countries 'need' the price of oil over USD100 a barrel.

2013: Owsblog's 3rd most viewed post ever and my favourite (except for the orgasm posts ([see 2005] ) Obama's offspring II..."I thought these were just typical of a plethora of Obama's seemingly cretinous statements but I hope it isn't more sinister and part of a general symptom of virulent black racism being the new normal"...

2012: October: a bit tame and presumably just a number of people Googling the images although each is linked.

2011: Odd Obama osculation: again not much text, only Obama kissing Chavez, yes...but it was just a Benetton campaign.

2010: Oracle octopus opts regarding the predicted results for the World Cup finals that year when cephalopod celebrity Paul opted for various winners throughout the tournament, including eventual winners, Spain (overall, English born [Weymouth] Paul predicted 11 out of 13 correctly.)

2009: the most viewed ever, Overt obscurantism re demonising of our porcine friends by naming a human problem 'swine' flu: "If you show symptoms PLEASE do not go anywhere near a pig farm, the last thing that industry needs is a pig actually getting the virus!"

2008Orgasmic olisbos, the history of vibrators and the original meaning of 'hysteria', plus lucky doctors! "Arising from the touch of the genital organs required by the treatment, there follows twitchings accompanied at the same time by pain and pleasure...from that time she is free of all the evil she felt"

2007: Ows's optical opiate: OK, OK...I'm not assuming people popped in to read the prose: 'Sexiest Women in the World according to readers of FHM Magazine in the UK'.

2006: One's opprobrium offers opportunity…, Kate Moss on her 'comeback': "Is she now the top paid model? In only one year she has gone from being Cocaine Kate, with many kicking her hard while she was down, to Kate the Great"

2005: I knew it! Well up on the most read/viewed was the Ows 'Orgasm' series: the middle of that series being the 2nd most read/viewed ever: Orgasms... the second coming. "While all orgasms are organically the same, varying only in strength and length, a woman may not experience them all in the same way..."
