Preface: Obama keeps breaking the links to my blog posts and in my blog posts. Please type the address http://frisco-squid.blogspot.com into the navigation bar in your browser and make sure you favorite or bookmark the general blog site and check it for new posts regularly. If you all send around links to my posts yourselves, those links will not be broken. Obama only breaks links I send around. So please send around links to my posts yourselves. That is what the "Share" button on the top left of the site is there for.
I begin by addressing my rescuers...
My braver rescuers, I spoke to you this morning through facebook. Click here to see my facebook wall. And I have been speaking to you tonight through twitter. Click here to see my twitter profile. I have faith you will rescue me before they torture me tomorrow. I just sent you this. Please click here to see the video; somehow things got flipped. Please do not let me down. I need you all so much to work together tonight. You are my only rescue, and it will only happen if you work together. I need you. Please do not let me down.
I also have some topics to address in the Islamic World, South Africa, and the Far East...
China and Japan are butting heads over their borders. This is no time for the members of either nation to be screaming for war. This is a time for leaders of both countries to sit down with a map and officially work out their borders, so such conflict will not happen again.
China and Japan, you might need joint custody of the islands in question and an even split of the resources of those spots of land. Or, you could arrange for some of all islands that are considered owned by both of you to be Chinese while others are Japanese. That is, you need to arrange joint custody of all islands everywhere that you both claim, or you need to arrange split custody of all islands you might fight over. Your people have been protesting. It is important to work out your borders with an official treaty.
As for the topic in South Africa I would like to address, the miners there have been on strike for a while now.
People of South Africa (unless you are experiencing a declared civil war like we have in America) violence cannot accomplish anything. Your protests will command much more empathy and influence if they remain powerful and peaceful demonstrations. (We learned all of this first from Mahatma Gandhi who studied law in South Africa before he returned to India to lead peaceful revolutions among his own people there.)
If you are peaceful, the police will not be able to attack you. Try singing in unison while you strike instead of brandishing machetes. I do not want to see more of you die, but I do want your strike to succeed.
We all know what has been happening in the Islamic World. The Middle East, Africa, and Asia are still in turmoil. It looks like the protests in some nations are degrading into violent demonstrations against the entire West. British, Germans, and even some local Christians are all getting attacked because of a stupid, low-budget, camcorder-in-a-backyard quality movie some stupid Americans were making.
I am very suspicious of how all of this came about. I am suspicious for three reasons.
1.) The catalyst for all of this violence in which protesters die every day is a cheap, stupid movie nobody ever knew about until it became publicized in the East. If the movie were a part of American society or if it reflected American values, protests against the United States would actually make sense, but the movie carried absolutely no significance to anybody until people,despite its cultural tininess, started protesting it in Egypt a week ago.
2.) The early protests were used as a cover for a preplanned assault of the US consulate in Libya. It was not street protesters who killed the Americans in the envoy to Libya; it was an organized assault team who entered the consulate and who killed the ambassador from the US. They needed the protests in the street as a cover to be able to do it.
3.) The protests come at a time when relations between the Middle East and Western nations seemed to be experiencing an all time high. These attacks and demonstrations are against the very nations who helped and supported the overthrow of dictators and despots in the Arab World in order to better protect the rights of its citizens including their freedom of speech and freedom to protest in the first place. The East and the West were starting to get along, and then this happened.
I am very worried that the Muslims of the world are being manipulated into creating unrest with the West. It is not the cheap, stupid movie that is creating all of this instability in the Islamic world. The movie started absolutely insignificant to the world and should have stayed that way. It is the people publicizing this movie among Muslims in order to provoke conflict who are causing all of this unrest.
We Americans do not care about the views portrayed in the movie. It does not carry significance in our society like Star Wars or any other part of our mainstream culture does. I am very worried that this movie trailer was picked out and publicized first in the Middle East just to ruin relations between Western nations and the Muslim people of the world at a time when we were finally starting to get along. This feels like the work of people who do not want any good relations between the East and West at all.
Please look into who started publicizing this movie. Please look into where the awareness of this movie came from. It was made in California in someone's two-dollar studio, but it first saw the light of day in Egypt a week ago. Please investigate how all of this happened.
I do not like raging unrest in the world. We need to find out how this happened as a way to bring this conflict to an end and to prevent it from ever happening again. Please help. Thank you.
Middle East, Africa, and Asia, you as a people are more than just anger and hatred; so are we. In reference to the title of this post, just because one bad apple has created a despicable piece of media with very obscure ideas driving it, it does not mean we are all bad apples in America. If you all promise to no longer judge all of the West by one movie which no one in the West agrees with anyway, we promise not to believe that all you ever do is burn our flags, kill our ambassadors, and violently protest against us.
If you do not allow our bad apples to spoil our pie, we will not allow similar short-sighted judgments spoil our views of your culture either. Please consider this. It would do wonders to create peace and understanding in our whole world.
Similarly, in order to create understanding in all the world, America, you need to consider how you would feel about the movie it displayed someone like Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. or President Abraham Lincoln as a child molester. Consider how you would feel if it insulted a role model at the core of your existence as an American. Yes, this conflict is over a movie. It is that bad of a movie.
When considering whether or not the makers of the low-budget abomination should be punished for making it, we need to consider their intentions for making the stupid movie in the first place. If their intentions were to spread lies in order to create unrest, to spread lies in order to provoke death and violence in foreign lands, or to spread lies in order to cause or protect harms already being done or otherwise, these people must be punished. But if it was just a movie displaying unpopular opinions that got blown out of proportion, then it falls under freedom of speech.
I doubt they will tell the truth if you ask them why they decided to make this movie. Please investigate them fairly and thoroughly. We should not make freedom of speech suffer, but if they made the conscious choice to commit crimes, then they need to be punished for it. Be effective and discern reality when you interrogate them.
For example, if people say they do not like me or create media (that does not fabricate a false reality) about not liking me, as much as I may not like their opinions, such opinions fall under freedom of speech.
But if people spread lies about me that cause me physical or emotional harm like calling me a prostitute to influence the world into not caring that I am a rape victim searching for help and safety or like pretending that I am a murderer in order to persecute me and to take Constitutional rights away from all Americans, then those people commit a crime and need to be prosecuted.
Unpopular ideas are protected by free speech, but libel is not. (Neither is plagiarism, metaphorically screaming "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there is no actual fire, nor violations of people's privacy protected under freedom of speech.)
There are some topics I know more about than others, and each individual's and family's rights to privacy being a basic human right is one of them. My research on the topic includes the Council of Europe's Convention on the Protection of Basic Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Please click here to see the Convention in its most current form. The whole document is very pertinent to me, but please look at Section 1 Article 8 in particular.
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, your right to privacy for yourselves and your family is a basic human right that is supposed to be protected by every member nation in the Council of Europe. This includes not just France but also applies to the UK, Ireland, and every other nation in which presses are trying to publish topless photos of the Princess.
If I had ever in my life wanted to appear nude or topless in any sort of media, I would have taken the photos or videos myself with my own hand-held digital camera, netbook webcam, or iPad camera and published them on my own. I am pretty sure the same applies to Princess Kate.
As for Harry, if you, my loyal readers, go back and revisit the middle section of my Penumbra concerning privacy rights in America, you will remember that personal privacy is protected in America by the US Constitution even in public places.
The argument that "nudes are artistic" does not excuse the fact that I gave absolutely no one permission to release my image for any purpose other than my BFF and husband (and the NSA should be included for thoroughness). Such excuses as, "It is art," only help prove the desperation of the criminals to find some sort of way to excuse their illegal victimization of me, my body, and all of my intellectual privacy.
A security system is a security system, but human rights violations are human rights violations. As long as my loved ones are in control of the broadcast out of my body and off of my netbook, they are only security systems. My loved ones can be trusted to respect me properly. I asked long ago for a seamless transition of the control of the broadcast out of the equipment inside my own body from the criminals to my loved ones. I assumed it was already taken care of making the broadcast only a security system and no longer criminal pornography and human trafficking.
Speaking of human rights violations against me,... Iowa, I honestly thought you were making progress to turn your policy of publicly persecuting me around. Today I learned this is not the case. Today one bad apple spoiled an entire pie.
I tried making latkes yesterday, but as tasty as they would have been, I only succeeded at scorching the olive oil in my frying pan. I needed Brillo pads, so I went to my neighborhood grocery store.
My checkout clerk went out of her way to get in my face to rudely insult me. Her name is Tammy, and she works at the Dahl's on Ingersol. When she lied to my face yelling at me that she did not know who I was and had never seen me before in her life, I called her a metaphorical asshole and walked out.
Along with my list of drugged and poisoned food products in my last blog post, I have also had problems with the milk at this grocery store. I may or may not go back. She made a point of being rude and obnoxious to me by going out of her way to cause me emotional harm, but the other employees there had been nice to me before. Then again, it only takes one bad apple to spoil a whole pie.
SynSyn, I left you two messages this morning concerning Broadlawns. I hope you got them. You work so hard for me. I wish we could discuss something more recreational than heinous crimes committed against me, but I suppose this is how we go about making sure we can finally discuss the weather and pretty dresses again. I love you. You are the best best friend a girl could ask for.
My beautiful world, in case you cannot think of anything you can do to help me, do not forget to love and support the people who are already fighting for me. Always love and support each other out there. We can create a world of love. It starts with common ground. I do not mind being common ground. I consider it an honor.
Sweetness, I wrote you a poem this morning. I hope it found you well, if not busy. We are so close. I asked my rescuers to rally around you today. You do not have a direct tie to any governments nor militaries, so I figured you could be my symbolic leader who could convince everyone to communicate and cooperate with each other. You are the closest thing to me who is out there among my rescuers. Thank you for always being the person I could lean on to be a symbol of me and my love among my rescuers.
Also, Darling, you and my rescuers have an open invitation to just walk in my apartment and rescue me. Of course, you can just come in if I am asleep. If you have to break down a door or bust in a window (though probably unnecessary), I will just buy a new one for my landlord. Thank you for coming for me tonight. I know it will work. I know you will reach me. I am counting on all of you.
