….how to get the world’s sympathy.

If we’re going to maintain that we’ve been terribly persecuted and massacred and forcibly…you know, the whole nine yards…..then we have to make sure that what we rush, breathlessly, to tell the world really is something startling, exceptional, worthy of note, shock, horror etc. which just might stun the world into action on our behalf, or at least taking note of.

But we haven’t experienced any such thing…and it galls us no end. Mostly because that’s all the “strategy” we have. Not even telling the world that our “indigenous” lands have been taken from us makes the grade…I mean, who HASN’T had indigenous lands taken from them?

“ Welcome to the club”, is the most the world can muster.

So we’re left with the pity factor. If people will just listen and try to imagine the HORROR of what we went through, surely something will come from it…it has to be pointed out that it becomes inescapably true that our case is stronger if we can just get Muslim’s to kill us some more. The recent group let-down on discovering that what’s-his-name, that guy in Australia, was stabbed by his own family came as a real loss to Assyria. Another “golden opportunity” wasted.

Our plight is that of someone who runs in out of the rain into a hall filled with thousands of rain-soaked people who’ve already arrived and have been milling about, cold and wet for hours, to tearfully and indignantly announce that “I’M WET!!” And then wait for an outpouring of sympathy coupled with offers of towels and dry clothes. It just isn’t a tragedy, or even surprising given the condition of everyone else already soaking wet in the room.

To get outstanding sympathy for outrageous wrongs we have to be sure ahead of time that what we’ve suffered is unique, seldom heard of occurring to anyone…at least not for a long, long time…and so serious that there is no other remedy but to fly aircraft carriers in and make things right.

Thousands of refugees seeking political asylum have escaped to North America and Europe from Latin America, Asia, Africa and the MidEast (all from regions where the same Western nations they run to have muddied the waters for centuries)…these people have compelling stories of almost unheard of brutal treatment…or else they wouldn’t qualify…in order to gain political asylum you have to prove that you face certain death or worse, if you return to your native, your indigenous, lands….and yet no host country has EVER decided to attack your country and set you back in your indigenous neighborhood once more. Rather, you’re welcome to asylum…”sorry, but that’s the best we can do”.

What on earth makes us think that Semele qualifies as an emergency? Who is dying in greater numbers in Iraq today than Muslims? When the world can sit back and even participate in the slaughter of Iraq where do we come off telling the world that WE are in danger? If WE would remember correctly we’re the assholes who begged the West to “liberate us”…remember?

See, it isn’t that the things I write are going to cost us Assyria or enable the Kurds to consolidate their hold on Kurdistan or cause dogs and cats to fornicate in the streets….my point of view, shared by many others, won’t come close to being the determining factor therefore, if I would just “shut up and go away”, Assyria would materialize….get real. The reason to despise me is that I make it obvious our nationalists are idiots, fools and worse…worse because they know goddamn well, better than anyone, that they haven’t the slightest idea or desire or intention of doing anything to actually get anything in Iraq resembling a nation and, worse, that if they GOT an Assyria, they’d run from it even harder than they ran from Iraq…they know it and I know it and now everyone else is catching onto it.

It’s their bubbles I’ve burst…not Assyria.
