My Response to Mohammad Cartoon

[ A newspaper is an "adult medium" for transference of factual record and complex thought regarding recent events.  What the Jyllands Post published, which has now been repeated in various newspapers worldwide, was at best a sophmoric slander of a deceased person and might be more accurately regarded as a provocation directed at billions of people well known to ferver the slanders target.  Islam, terrorism and Mohammad are subjects that to delve in worth any insight require far more than the proverbial 1000 words afforded a picture.

 

This provocation seems to me an effort to slow consumption and subsequently production.  The facade of sustainability within the present financial/economic situation is critical to maintaining widespread political inactivity.  The people's willing sacrifice of consumption serves a boon to weapon building entities regarding both time and energy to erect human destruction potential. Less energy spent on shipping Kentucky Fried Chicken equates more energy to build robot attack jets. The slowing of production here speculated on as motive for incitement has been accomplished by boycott and elimination of store fronts in consumer localities, observable in the photo collection below. 

 

There also exists an element of misdirection toward inciting anger for free speech exercise.  Even though the cartoon may have been an expression crafted toward human suffering a persons capacity to command any communication should not be challenged apart from communicatively.  I must say the burning of foreign store fronts in Pakistan has been an effective communication as to how deeply immersed in foreigners lives are U.S. and multinational corporations. 

 

The average American might feel less than complicit for U.S. corporate financial domineering however it was the U.S. consumer who strengthend U.S. corporations to Goliath proportion's while ignoring monopoly laws.  When monopoly laws were written few businesses spanned more than 1 state.  Today financial command spanning all U.S. states is a big business norm.  This type of huge access to human command (legislators, production, militance) by finance is exactly what was intended to be checked by monopoly law.  After a century of wide spread ignorance of law we may consider ourselves lucky to not be worse off.  Yet financial dominance and militant oppression wax quickly to this very moment with no end in sight of such tumorous growth. ]
