Who Holds Who?

First, Hamas was designated as a terror organization because it 'illegally' fought the Israeli opression machine. Then Israel started holding off the funds that were coming in by the EU until the 'situation' calmed down. And even the fact still stands that Hamas was elected by the people for the people in the last Palestinian presidential elections, they were still not recognized by the USA.

And now, ever since the Mecca agreement to form a joint unity government that consisted of both Hamas and Fatah leaders, the USA and the state of 'Israel' is now threatening to boycott the new unity unless the newly formed government 'recognizes the quartet's demands to form peace with Israel'.

Fact: None of the GCC countries recognize the state Israel ever since it's formation by the UN.

Fact: Hamas does not recognize the state of Israel because of it's violent and agressive oppression on the Palestinian people even since it invaded the occupied land.

Fact: The USA has told Israeli PM Olmert to withhold any talks with the Syrian side regarding the Jolan Heights to end the Israeli occupation in that area.

So, the question is here: Who holds who under their thumb?

Flashback to Lost again

Every other 'Emarati' blogger has written alot about Lost: Ahmed, Emirati, Yahya and Moyarati, so its my turn.

Most of you people who have left Lost to watch Heroes or some nonesense like that, have done that because you are impatient and not demanding in the television you watch. You like simple entertainment made for simple people.

Most of you say you have Lost interest because its 'too slow'. You prefer to watch silly programs about normal people who turn into superheros (like thats never been done before) or programs about beautiful wifes cheating on their husbands (yeah coz thats so original) or like to watch crime scene forensic dramas about the brutal murder of an average every day person (because you are all sick freaks). You watch this nonsense because that kind of entertainment does not require any thinking or intelligence.

But really you are missing out on Lost. The drama aspect is really more interesting than the sci-fi part, but they both work together and seem verry realistic in the way the stories playout on the screen. Season 3 part 2 begun last week and now we are getting answers about the Island the plane crash survivors are trapped on.

My theory is, is that Scientist from a multinational mega corporation are doing a massive sociological and psychological experiment on the plane crash survivors, but these survivors do not know. But there is a bigger twist. The Island's, facilities are perhaps generated by power made from the Earths magnetic pull, so no one in the outside world can find them.

More interesting than this theory is the flashbacks each character has everyweek. As the viewer we think the flashbacks are just normal tv program flashbacks we see on most other dramas, giving extra information on the characters past lives, but this weeks episode prooves that the flashbacks mean a little more, as one character called Desmond actually realizes he is in a 'flashback' and so tries to change the future.

It is an amazing episode but probably makes no sense if you have never watched this program before. This episode where the screen shots are from is perhaps the best episode of the entire two years of the series...and it very creepy and sinister.

The fall of the Arab man.

Please tell me, how many of you fall for these scams when some man or woman from some third world backwater emails you with his or her sad story. It is usally Mr Adubigobagobigibungo from Nigera or some other West African nightmare, who happens to be the son of some important diplomat, civil servant or high up official, or royal family member etc and he needs to transfer his money to an offshore account- namely yours. I used to get one everyweek a few years back. The first time I was really concerned and I told this Nigerian guy at my University about it. He told me 'Dont worry and ignore it. If it comes from Nigeria its probably a scam, most of us currupt' .

Now 6 years later a friend forwards me this email this evening from a man called Sami Ayob:

My name is Mr. Sami Ayob I have just arrived in United Kingdom three days ago from Beirut Lebanon; I want to know what it takes to Invest in your country as I leant that its one of the most peaceful country.

In your reply please indicate to me your capacity to receive the sum of amount 6. Million United state dollar on my behalf as soon as I hear from you I will forward my details and personal information to you.

Reply to my alternative email at sami*****2@******.com">

Thanks for your kind attention hope to hear from you soon.

Regards
Mr. Sami Ayob

The first thing I thought when I read this 'was what the f*ck?' Us Arabs invented hussling people out of money. Go to Egypt and try not to escape the country without paying through your nose for every single little favor (like stamping your passport before you can leave the damn airport). Pass through Marracech with a zero budget and still manage to leave the country with 10 overpriced rugs, 100 grams of hashish and 1 new wife. Go to Jordan, Yemen, Libya etc and you will learn that Arabs know how to husstle and sell things to people they dont need... at an over price. So whats the fuck with this letter from Mr Ayob?

No long complicated plan about why he should transfer money in the 1st place. No tales about bank accounts and trapped funds in a foreign country and going to secret locations for secret dealings. Mr Ayob doesnt waste time with any of that. He just comes straight to the point. He is like 'Your country is a great safe country for investment, so give me your bank account details.'

I am disgusted. There was a time when Arabs were great people, now we have just become lame and uncreative and lazy. Sometimes I miss Gamal Nasser too much.

Update: Perhaps there is some hope after all with this scam at the DIFC
