Comments on: To See the Stars Again… http://sydwalker.info/blog/2009/02/21/to-see-the-stars-again/ Just another blog about achieving global peace, prosperity and sustainability Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:28:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Syd Walker http://sydwalker.info/blog/2009/02/21/to-see-the-stars-again/comment-page-1/#comment-1308 Syd Walker Sat, 21 Feb 2009 22:05:38 +0000 http://sydwalker.info/blog/?p=4000#comment-1308 I agree Mark. Beyond ridiculous. And thanks for the link on the 'Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Board' decision to reward Apartheid. I hadn't caught up with that - although I did write something about the tennis boycott a few days ago - see <a href="http://sydwalker.info/blog/2009/02/17/an-anti-apartheid-struggle-is-not-tennis/" rel="nofollow">The anti-Apartheid Struggle is not Tennis</a>. But this is where ordinary people can take over. Imagine 20 sneezing people in the audience, who happen to sneeze just before this Israeli player serves, at every match she attends around the world. Is that too hard to pull together? Ten might do the trick. One would be better than none. The suave corporate bosses and stooges can decide what they like... normalcy is ultimately defined by the people as a whole. If playing games with Apartheid ain't normal to us, we can make sure it isn't normal to anyone. I had no idea that Sony Ericsson had such a strong interest in supporting Apartheid and now I know, I'll be sure to tell my friends. Isolation works two ways. To date, the sheep-dogs have been largely successful in isolating potential resistors. But a phase-change is conceivable, when the sheep-dogs are the ones who become isolated. Can that be done in our times? I hope so. It must be done. I agree Mark. Beyond ridiculous. And thanks for the link on the ‘Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Board’ decision to reward Apartheid.

We need to call the Zionists bluff. I sympathise with those whose hands are tied professionally but this whole thing is becoming quite ridiculous. Take the latest example of Zionist sheepdogging. Israeli tennis player Shahar Peer was denied permission to play in this weeks Dubai tournament, ostensibly in protest at Israel's latest genocide in Gaza, although the Dubai tennis officials did not explicitly confirm this as far as I'm aware. The sanctimonious condemnation of Dubai from tennis officialdom has been tumultuous. Larry Scott, chairman and CEO of the WTA, said sport should never mix with politics. Remember that the US prevented its entire team from participating when they boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. In any case, Scott has now announced the 'punishment' for Dubai's actions, including a 300K financial penalty to the Dubai tournament, rating points for Shahar Peer, prizemoney for Peer and her doubles partner and stringent terms and conditions imposed on Dubai if it wants to retain its place on the tour calendar. http://www.tennis-x.com/xblog/2009-02-20/886.php A swiftly convened kangaroo court meted out the punishment with relish. It's been quite a soap opera. But that's what must happen when one of the sheep stray from the flock. You've got to control the whole hoid, so you make an example of any straying sheep. Politicians and most of the so-called opinion leaders are just quivering sheep when faced with the full corporate media force of the Zionist lobby. They're just goyim. It's getting ridiculous.
