I read this through a post by Khalaf, and I don’t know if this is true or not, i just feel i had to republish it for public benefit

~ JordanBlogs and blog deletion.

Ok, I wasn’t going to say anything about this in public and I wasn’t gonna point out blogs by name but this is really starting to get on my nerves.

I’m talking of course about bloggers who complain and scream about JordanBlogs.net enforcing “censorship” on certain blogs and deleting them from their aggregator. Ok, lets talk about that shall we, starting from the most recent:

Devil’s Mind: This guy is pissed off and angry because they removed his blog for posting adult-rated material, and in his response he says and i quote: “this blog has always supported pornography, and will hopefully keep on supporting pornography in all of its legitimate forms.”

Really now? Thats so cool and hip of you, Ok, I suggest you publish your posts under your Real name and invite your family to read it, lets see what your mother and sister think about it? would you so openly let them do that and feast their eyes upon the dirty photos in question? now, if you’re comfortable with your family checking out the online porn you post then i’m sorry i cannot and will not accept to have anything to do with your blog and i refuse to have anything to do with exposing your blog to the public, on the othre hand if your answer is no, and you refuse that notion, why do you find it acceptable for other people to have access to it? or does you so called freedom of speech and its limitations apply only when it suits you? No Sir, I will not have our female readers and authors, our family members, and any decent honorable Jordanians be subjugated to such filth.

Abu Shreek and and Khader Kan3an: These blogs were removed based on “political reasons”. Again i must ask, who exactly is Abu Shreek? and who is Khader Kan3an? anybody know who these guys are? its so easy being bold and hailing democracy and freedom of speech when you’re hiding behind an alias and wrapped in the covers of online anonymity isn’t it? If you think of yourself to be so brave and gutsy to address issues with extreme criticism why not do it using your real name, or are you afraid? can you not take responsibility for yourself and your actions and writings? I say once more, who are these people? has anybody ever met these guys before? are they even Jordanian? how can we know?

I know what some might think, there are other anonymous bloggers on JB and they have not been removed, that is true, but these matters are handled on a case by case bases, other bloggers might be anonymous but they are not posting controversial material, furthermore, the decision to remove these blogs from JB was not a single person’s decision, it was done via a process of voting by the administration panel. also, its not like JB blocked your blogs from the internet, you’re free to do what you wish within your own space, but it is also JB’s full right to to chose who to list in their aggregator.

JordanBlogs is not the government, and is not run by the government nor is it affiliated with it, remember that. JB is run by young intellectual bloggers just like you, who share (mostly) the same ideological beliefs as you in regards to where we’re at in Jordan and the political climate Jordan is in, Freedom of speech is not limitless, there are boundaries and the moderators of JB understand those boundaries and act upon them, accusing JB of oppressing freedom of speech is just ridiculous, think about it for a minute, what’s their motive? JB is not liable for the content of the posts being listed on it, JB does not take responsibility for the material being aggregated on it and this fully exclaimed on the website’s footer, why would JB censor anything for no good reason? Ridiculous accusations, thats what they are.

In conclusion i should say that i wrote this post not only as a member of the JB board but also as a fellow blogger, even if i was not on the JB board i would have expressed the same opinions, things needed to be said and facts needed to be put into into perspective.

Good day, and good luck.

~ I’m off to Zimbabwe.

So I might not be able to blog for about a week, see, tomorrow at 4 AM I’ll be boarding Air France flight NO. 261 headed for Zimbabwe, I’ve been contacted by the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) to work as a neutral aid to Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai head of the Movement for Democratic Change, and we’ll be acting as negotiators and mediators between the Government of Zimbabwe and the Chiefs of Ndebele Tribes. see, in recent years, the population of the Ndebele in Zimbabwe has been diminishing, primarily due to the Gukurahundi, a genocide that was carried out by the Zimbabwean government on the Ndebele. Other causes are migration to other countries, especially South Africa in search of jobs, after-effects of the Gukurahundi, and the economic crisis that has gripped Zimbabwe since 2000.

You probably are wondering how i got involved in all of this, well, what you don’t know is that i got my masters in computer science from the National University of Science and Technology - Zimbabwe (NUST) which is the second state University there, and during my studies I’ve had an active political life ever since i became very good friends with Tekere Mtubu son of Zanu Mtubu Chief of the largest Ndebele Tribe. and through my friend Tekere I’ve gotten to know Chief Zanu very well and due to my close ties to Chief Zanu he’s often asked me to work as a coordinator with the U.N commissions stationed in Zimbabwe to get international relief aid through safe routes in cooperation with the government which of course in many times involved bribing some top officials, which is where i came into the picture, I was the middle man in this operation, in short, the aid needed to get there and the officials needed to be bribed, the U.N couldn’t just bribe people and the government couldn’t just openly accept bribes from the public not when the whole world has its eyes fixed on them, so a third ambiguous party working in the shadows was needed to handle the dirty business, and I was the perfect guy for it.

And even though complications are to be expected, I’m hoping things will go smoothly, I haven’t been up to date on the political situation there but I’ve been told that ever since the Senate was reinstated in 2005, it has worked more productively with The House of Assembly which is the lower chamber of Parliament and some good people were elected which have had enormous influence over the decision making process in the upper hierarchy of the government.

The situation there truly saddens me, i love Zimbabwe, its such a beautiful country and believe it or not I’ve always felt a sense of belonging during my stay there, and to give you a glimpse of whats going on, Zimbabwe’s current economic and food crisis, described by some observers as the country’s worst humanitarian crisis since independence, has been attributed, in varying degrees, to a drought affecting the entire region, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and the government’s price controls and “land reforms”, Last thing i’ve heard about these land reforms is that Agriculture Minister Joseph Made said Zimbabwe was considering legislation that would compel commercial banks to finance black peasants allocated formerly white-owned farmland in controversial land reforms. Banks failing to lend a substantial portion of their income to new black farmers would have their licences withdrawn, The newly resettled peasants had largely failed to access loans from commercial banks because they did not have title over the land on which they were resettled and could not use it as collateral. With no security of tenure on the farms, banks are reluctant to extend loans to the new farmers, many of whom do not have much experience in commercial farming or assets to provide alternative collateral for any borrowed money.

The Economic Consequences of that? The scale of the drop in farm output has produced widespread claims by aid agencies of starvation and famine. However Mugabe’s (The current president) expulsion of the international media has prevented full analysis of the scale of the famine and the resultant deaths. What is not in dispute is that a country once so rich in agricultural produce that it was dubbed the “bread basket” of Southern Africa, is now struggling to feed its own population. A staggering 45 percent of the population is considered malnourished. Foreign tourism has also plummeted, costing tens of millions of dollars a year in lost revenue.

So anyways, enough with the babble, I’m going to finish packing my bags now. wish me luck.

~ How to create your own religion in 10 easy steps.

Organized religion is evidently not for everyone. While some may break off and get themselves ordained, there is another way to reach spiritual fulfillment — start your own religion. A Path.org (www.apath.org/creating_religion.html) is a site dedicated to helping ordinary folk get their faith off the ground. The site also provides a printable checklist of things to do to ensure the success and popularity if your new religion.

In short, Here’s how you do it:

1) Create a God.
2) Make it in charge of something people already focus on,
3) Make it something that people will be reminded of frequently.
4) Make it easy for them to “buy into” the worship of your New God.
5) Make it ambiguous.
6) Establish some standards by which the God should be referred to,
7) Make cool symbols. You need an opposing force.
9) You need to confuse everybody.
10) The Big Reward.
and Finally:
11) Get The Word Out!
