The Malabar Front

Is a short word cue
That I use when
Listening to the news
To remind myself to
Question the information
If it is presented as
Life affirming

Especially when it seems
To be hyperbolic distraction
Scaring the Proletariat public

Utilizing natural disasters
Plus trials of centuries or
Wars and other violent events
Like daily mass shootings
In an allegedly civilized society
To play on people’s fears
Ignorance and unconsciousness



“Attention,
Your attention, please

A newsflash has this moment
Arrived from the Malabar front

Our forces in South India
Have won a glorious victory

I am authorized to say
That the action

We are now reporting
May, well bring the war

Within measurable
Distance of its end

Here is the newsflash

Plusgood


Doubleplusgood”



“Doubleplusgood”

– Eurythmics “1984” Soundtrack

Based on George Orwell’s “1984”



The “newsflash” for whatever reason

(Cycled ad nauseum for crass consumption)

Gets our immediate attention as if

Something really “important” is happening

Usually repeated and regurgitated by many

Talking heads trapped in a rectangle screen

Flat, both in appearance and emotion

One dimensional ego driven narcissists

Spouting off alleged facts as if it were

The necessary oxygen needed to breathe

With just enough hyperbole and focus

To keep the audience tuning in for

The commercials in between the

Vague presentation of opinions as fact

With soap opera detail driven distractions

So as not to repeat the same information, it is

Salt and peppered with enough negativity

Like something new is being added for flavor

Giving background history of the characters or

Location as if they were color commentators

Covering the sport of death and destruction

Mayhem, mishaps, and misinformation




One of the news stories that triggered this post

Was one of Pyootyn supposedly ready to use

“Nuclear” devices in his war with Ukraine

Therefore, the veiled intent was a push for

The divided and distracted United States

To sell or give or rent weapons of marginal

Mass or messy and manipulative destruction in a

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength

Type Orwellian misinformation filling the memory hole





Why would a dictator or anyone else for that matter

Use a weapon to gain access to land that would become

Now uninhabitable, therefore unlikely to be “occupied

See how easy it is to scare money right out of your wallet

Nope, the talking heads just spew it out unthinking and

Never interrupt their teleprompter reading to suggest otherwise



“I have certain rules I live by.

My first rule. I don’t believe anything that the government tells me, nothing, zero, none.

And I don’t take very seriously the media or the press in this country who in the case of the Persian Gulf war we’re nothing more than unpaid employees of the Department of Defense and who most of the time, most of the time functions as kind of an unofficial Public Relations Agency for the United States government.

So I don’t listen to them, I don’t really believe in my country, and I got to tell you folks I don’t get all choked up about yellow ribbons and the American flags. I consider them, I consider them to be symbols and I leave symbols to the symbol minded.”

– George Carlin

Persian Gulf War, Iraq War, War in Afghanistan, Ukraine,
Gaza, Israel, cold wars, world wars, etc, war, war, war, war.

“Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with Visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting War for millions
In the hope that one appears”

“Die With Your Boots On”

– Iron Maiden

Get this, there are “Rules” for war* Hmmmm.

If human earthling societies have evolved enough to
Have guidelines of who is not to be killed
How much harder would it be to make a rule
Not to kill anyone anywhere for any reason
(In other words, treat them like fetuses)


Would it really take a quantum leap or paradigm shift
To just make a “rule” to not have any wars. Just asking.


The only reason wars are inevitable is because
We’ve been told and indoctrinated to believe that


Like the proverbial carrot on a stick
There is just enough information presented
To stay tuned, believing that scenario will be over
And yet It goes on and on without solutions

“That has arrived from
The Malabar front”

That someday light may shine through”

The rules of war, also known as international humanitarian law:

• Protect those who are not fighting, such as civilians, medical personnel or aid workers.

• Protect those who are no longer able to fight, like an injured soldier or a prisoner.

• Prohibit targeting civilians. Doing so is a war crime.

• Recognize the right of civilians to be protected from the dangers of war and receive the help they need. Every possible care must be taken to avoid harming them or their houses, or destroying their means of survival, such as water sources, crops, livestock, etc.

• Mandate that the sick and wounded have a right to be cared for, regardless of whose side they are on.

• Specify that medical workers, medical vehicles and hospitals dedicated to humanitarian work can not be attacked.

• Prohibit torture and degrading treatment of prisoners.

• Specify that detainees must receive food and water and be allowed to communicate with their loved ones.

• Limit the weapons and tactics that can be used in war, to avoid unnecessary suffering.

• Explicitly forbid rape or other forms of sexual violence in the context of armed conflict.
