Afghanistan: Hot Sexy Hired Killers

The world has quite literally turned to fuck.

Afghanistan: Dancing Boys

Not sure why the Express are running this today - the quotes and photos are taken from a 2009 PBS TV documentary, The Dancing Boys Of Afghanistan.

Though 'Muslims equal paedos' is of course a familar Express riff.

But I guess it's been dug up following their silly story on Monday claiming ISIS is secretly a pederastic 'Gay Cult'. 

Edit: Fuller story and more pics on Mail Online, who love running seemingly titillating stories about underage or 'barely legal' sex ('School miss had sex with teenage lad' is a favourite).

PS Compare and contrast with the Express's front page warning today that IMMIGRANTS ARE COMING FOR OUR WOMEN!!!

Is no-one safe!!???

Thought For The Day: Bowe Bergdahl

"The future is too good to waste on lies. And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong. I have seen their ideas and I am ashamed to even be american. The horror of the self-righteous arrogance that they thrive in. It is all revolting...

"The system is wrong. I am ashamed to be an american. And the title of US soldier is just the lie of fools...

"I am sorry for everything here. These people need help, yet what they get is the most conceited country in the world telling them that they are nothing and that they are stupid, that they have no idea how to live." 

"We don't even care when we hear each other talk about running their children down in the dirt streets with our armored trucks... We make fun of them in front of their faces, and laugh at them for not understanding we are insulting them.

"I am sorry for everything. The horror that is america is disgusting."

From Bowe Bergdahl's last email to his parents before he apparently walked off his base in Afghanistan in June 2009.

Afghanistan: War And Piss

Soldiers are taught to hate and dehumanise the enemy, don't you think this happens all the time?
And seeing as the Talibani have just been killed, I think a bit of piss is the least of their problems.

PS Thanks to Tony Blair it's now illegal to put watersports in porn.*
Isn't this act of humilation and degradation above(SM) porn - it also features marines.

* Last Friday a Southwark jury found a man, Sleazy Michael [Peacock], who'd been charged with distibruting DVDs that featured fisting and watersports not guilty.

Wikileaks: Manning Of The Year

Great to see Bradley Manning was behind many of today's leaked documents on Wikileaks.
Full coverage on The Guardian's The US Embassy Cables.
There's no point going on Wikileaks website right now - it's been disabled by a hacking attack.
Interesting...
Bradley Manning is Fagburn's Man of the Year.
Here's how he did it;
"I would come in with music on a CD-RW labelled with something like 'Lady Gaga' … erase the music … then write a compressed split file. No one suspected a thing ... [I] listened and lip-synched to Lady Gaga's Telephone while exfiltrating possibly the largest data spillage in American history."
Coverage of this queer hero in the UK gay press thus far - zero.
These new leaks will almost certainly see more attempts at character assassination of Manning, as an out, proud and angry gay man it's not too hard to predict what many of these will zoom in on.
Witness what's happened to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
Fagburn say "Free Bradley Manning!"

• The Bradley Manning Support Network “It is a privilege to join the campaign to support Bradley Manning for his courage and integrity in serving his country by helping make the government accountable to its citizens, and to inform the world of what its people should know” Noam Chomsky

The Daily Telegraph ran a profile of Manning on Monday; "Manning was alleged to have told Lamo that he had found "incredible, awful things that belonged in the public domain and not on some server stored in a dark room in Washington, DC". He was also said to have boasted that he had used blank CDs to download classified information while pretending to be listening to Lady Gaga..."

Free Bradley Manning: International Days of Action

International Days of Action In Solidarity with Bradley Manning

Date: September 16-19
Location: Everywhere

'On September 16-19, groups and individuals will call on the United States government to drop the charges against Army Private First Class Bradley Manning. Twenty-two year old Manning, held in solitary confinement since May, has been charged with releasing classified documents including a video that shows American troops shooting and killing Reuters journalists in 2007. Manning’s imprisonment has resulted in an international outcry, with groups and activists throughout the US and abroad demanding his release and calling for transparency in America’s war policies.'

(Manning - the Wikileaks guy - is gay and there has been speculation that he leaked the documents partly out of anger at how the US military treated him and gay personnel in general. See 'True Heroism Merits No Punishment', Fagburn, July 2010).

Afghanistan: Guns and Roses

"Thursday nights were jokily referred to by the Isaf forces as “man-love Thursday”, the evening of seduction before Friday prayers when certain of the policemen resembled a gaggle of teenage girls preparing for a night on the town: hands dyed deep orange with henna, nails painted, sooty kohl-darkened eyes and brows. They would slow-dance with each other to music from tinny cassettes or played on an improvised sitar-like instrument, its notes drifting on the air from their quarters, mingled with the smell of spliff.
All the feminine primping and suggestive body language could make their police outposts sound like a sleazy, cut-price Marrakesh — but only if you don’t mind the smell and the nearness of death that makes even the most brazen poseurs wild-eyed with nerves. For this is no homoerotic Shangri-La, just a sad, filthy, dangerous and — from the right vantage point — ravishingly beautiful place, where women are nowhere to be seen and men make their own companionship.
On the whole the British soldiers turn a blind eye to their charges’ love lives, except when openly propositioned. “They’re always flirting with us,” laughed one soldier. “They make it very obvious they want to have sex with us. It freaks us out. It isn’t just sex they want from us — it’s a bloody pen, or sweets or sunglasses, whatever we have."
Once cordial relations had been established with the western soldiers, the awkward attempts at affection would follow, sometimes simple gestures of gratitude for Isaf’s help, sometimes more. On one occasion, Symondson witnessed a British Army officer being asked by a local police commander if he would care to avail himself of his chai boy. Had he ever been interested, he inquired. It was quite good fun sometimes. “No, no,” responded the British officer, “I have a wife.” The Afghan smiled. “So do I,” he said."

Fagburn is often surprised at how western journalists are often surprised at how Islamic cultures often condone homosexuality...
