RE: [ALOCHONA] Re: Mr. Cyrus and Ms. Farida

       A verbal diarrhea is an assault on all five senses.  Making any sense of what is being said becomes a tough job under the circumstance. However, what gobbits of meaning could be rescued from the muck Firoz Alam discharged upon us give us the idea that he is compassionate towards animals and MBI Munshi.  Such sentiments are commendable.

 

        I too am very fond of animals, and my family's household has had cats and dogs as pets at various times. I have donated money to the ASPCA in UK and the USA.

 

       We understand that Munshi is a highly prized pet of Pakistan Defense Forum (Top Secret) where his feat of producing more than 2,700 posts is truly astonishing.  For his tireless contribution he has earned the rank of Major General! Wow!

 

    It makes me feel guilty.  My mutt Mickey, the one who used to kill snakes in our sprawling garden, was known in the neighborhood of Siddheshwari, Dacca, for his bravery.  Surely he deserved to be elevated to the rank of a Lieutenant Colonel at the least. He died of heartbreak, and they buried him in my absence without a guard of honor. We can be rest assured that Major General Munshi of the Pakistan Defense Forum (Top Secret) would not meet the same ignominious end as poor Mickey.

 

       So much for the reciprocal love between animal pets and ordinary humans.

 

       While I have the floor, I want to turn for a moment to the subject of Superman. No, not that type drummed up by that crazy German philosopher, Nietzsche. I want to bring up Superman of the American Comic Books enormously popular since the 1940s. Newspaper cartoon strips, radio and TV serials, movies and games based on the Superhero were and still continue to be all the rage.

 

      The Superhero of Action Comics used to hide his real identity, a man from the planet Krypton, posing as a mild-mannered newspaper reporter, Clark Kent. Whenever there was a threat of danger he used to transform himself into Superman, 'a man of steel' flying in the sky with his blue cape and x-ray vision! "It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's SUPERMAN!" was the signature introduction of each show.

 

        Back in May, 2008 when "an expert in South Asian affairs" named Sunita Paul, allegedly from Kolkata appeared in cyberspace with a trail blaze of objectionable disinformation with laughable pseudo-analysis on Bangladeshi matter, I was reminded of Superman.. Anyone who writes that 2006 Nobel Peace Prize to Dr. Yunus of Grameen Bank was a hoax and that he has never been a professor, or, no genocide took place in 1971, cannot possibly be from this planet. I thought of Action Comics, Superman from the planet Krypton, and his posing as a newspaper reporter. Here we have a case of one disguised as "an expert in South Asian affairs" from Kolkata but is secretly from another planet.

 

Then I realized that we don't have to go as far as Action Comics Superman circa 1938, USA.  The trends and ingredients of the psychological crock of bs that we are being fed everyday is right here at hand, and I clearly identified them in a short satirical piece, "How to Make Your Own Sunita Paul."

 

None of my attackers had a clue about this cultural reference to the Superman. They are the same cast of characters, the same pit bulls, the same aimless barks with vicious ad homiem  whether I write a poem on a Razakar or a satire on fictitious Sunita Paul or comment on Major General Munshi.  It is time we begin to take count of their commonality and what else do they fear besides India, ad knowledge of culture and history.

 

          Cheers

Cyrus wrote: Am I missing something here or are you off of your medications?   My response: If I imply or suggest metaphorically and invectively use a term "Cyrus-the-hound-cat-rat-mongoose-parasite" is an epithet of Cyrus who thinks that everything was made out of an atom then my question is to suggest an idea is to stimulate reflection is that hound-the-atom, cat-the-atom, rat-the-atom, mongoose-the-atom, parasite-the-atom, and CYRUS-THE-HOUND-CAT-RAT-MONGOOSE-PARASITE is made out of an atom? If it is then still atom theory makes animal species our brethren too, doesn't it? And as for his dose of medications, keep on reading...   Cyrus wrote: Secondly, the great defenders of Mr. Munshi should know that I have nothing against him. I am opposed to his pseudo-intellectualism and the doctrines of nonsense and puritanism. He is a Mowdudi wanna-be, but only worse.   My response: As he may be aware that every thesis has its anti-thesis as every doctrine should have its anti-doctrine if some one wants to counter it. If he so chooses to oppose Mr. Munshi's "Indian doctrine" why doesn't he presents themes of his pen has been so frequently involved instead of displaying his dangerous sectarian prejudices. BTW, I'm not defending him nor do I know him personally but my motives on this issue are centered in a sincere love of truth and have noticed you and Ms. Farida have gone out of proportion to propagate what's you defend and it is what it is. How about Cyrus is a Hitler wanna-be, perhaps even worse than Bush?   Cyrus wrote: So, yes, be it market dominance or political leverage, India and Pakistan does have plenty of interests in influencing the lives of Bangladeshis.   My response: The abstract words like India and Pakistan are names for a thing which does not have any sort of interests in influencing the lives of Bdeshis. But it is the Cyrus-the-atom's, Munshi-the-atom's, hound-the-atom's, and cat-the-atom's, so on, have material needs, and it is the needs that are being provided through (counter)market-dominance or/and (counter)political-leverage as he has mentioned, and to counter the market-dominance-political-leverage, why should we not use framework of hound for sheep-destroying wolves, cats for rats, rats for coalition of willing scavengers, mongooses for snakes and parasites for parasites analogy? If the answer is no then i want him to share his intellectual-the-cow-shit-to-purify-Thar-house-doctrine and let alone awaken-the-dumber-audiences.   Cyrus wrote: Lastly, I can tell that you are our version of a proverbial "Bible thumper"! I hate to break this to you.   My response: When I categorically mentioned the Quran but Cyrus-the-hound-cat-rat-mongoose-parasite-atom intentionally or blindly invoked "bible thumper" and still thinks himself an intellectual, how pathetic is the patriotic fervor that emboldens Cyrus-the-atom's blood but narrows Cyrus-the-atom's the mind and blind/blurs the vision that requires precise reading?  Does he not need medications?   Cyrus wrote: It's only flesh and blood, and more fundamentally, atoms. but there is no clay or smokeless fire.   my response: When flesh and blood decomposes only 19 minerals are found that soil-the-clay has all those minerals and the "smokeless flame" [NOT SMOKELESS FIRE - WHERE THERE IS FIRE THERE IS SMOKE] things that ticks and keep us warm and at death it leaves and join with Allah and the material forms of atom were created by thunder/lightening which is known as big-bang in scientific communities.   Cyrus wrote: Don't take the scriptures so literally! but that's besides the point.   My Response: My scripture is holier-than-thou mindset makes a man prejudice if not partial ignorant, tyrant, arrogant, and it blurs decency and when it does people like Cyrus, Farida and Hitler uses terms like hounds, rats and pigs metaphorically to describe his political enemies. Doesn't the theory of atom come/passed down to us and Cyrus-the-atom is taking the scripture of atom literally? So who should take what scripture literally or figuratively is not Cyrus-the-atom's call or to decide or to ponder upon! Let me put it mildly, not everyone will use the same word to describe the same natural phenomenon. And that's the POINT, make a note of it.   Cyrus wrote: Do you mind telling me who is treating whom like a pest? I can only respect Mr. Munshi and his gang as human beings, as I respect every human being, whether they are Muslim, Hindu, Jew or even a fire-worshiper.   My response: The words such as Muslim Hindu Jew or Christan are not to be found anywhere in their respective scriptures. And by invoking word "respect" does not at all display an iota of respect when words are flying like "no one gives a flying rat's anatomy" to describe to whom you may be disagree with intellectually or politically. I don't think that Hitler's pigs, Farida's hounds and Cyrus' cat analogies are the terms for showing respect then I don't know what the respect is. BTW, rats are consider to be one of many pests in America.   Cyrus wrote: I doubt Mr. Munshi and his gang has the same level of respect for anyone else but themselves.   my response: The doubts and suspicions give moral cowards an excuse not to think or see at all. The thinking thing is the only option for intellectuals minus Cyrus-the-atom who only relies on doubts or suspicions and doubts the gang of crows or owls may have taken Cyrus-the-atom's ears and eyes without realizing that it may be still intact where it belongs. The doubts and suspicions are also the characteristic of an evil man which breeds ill will and cheapens human life.
