** 17-Feb-2020 World View: UN declares Libya agreement to be a 'joke'
![[Image: 4396.jpg?width=620&quality=85&auto=forma...030bf3a624]](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/d3530c5fb4e8e5d74b8f0cf32d8a941f0b367245/0_646_4396_2637/master/4396.jpg?width=620&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=83ad6cb91620100011ca43030bf3a624)
There was a press conference in Munich on Sunday, to achieve agreement
to stop supply weapons to factions in Libya.
Egypt and UAE have been supplying weapons to one side -- the Libyan
National Army (LNA), led by international renegade Khalifa Haftar.
Haftar is headquarted in the east, and is attacking Tripoli in the
west.
Turkey has been supplying weapons to the other side -- the
internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA), led by
Fayez al-Serraj. The GNA is in Tripoli.
Sunday's Munich meeting was a follow-up to a meeting a month ago in
Berlin, when foreign ministers from a dozen countries agreed to an
arms embargo.
Turkey, Egypt and UAE ignored the agreements they made in Berlin, and
continued supplying arms as if nothing had happend.
So I watched some of the press conference Sunday in Munich, attended
by the same foreign ministers of the same countries as last month's
meeting in Berlin. I particularly watched the report given by
U.N. Deputy Special Representative to Libya Stephanie Williams.
Williams was practically in tears as she described the suffering in
Libya, and she said:
So, all the foreign ministers talked for a while, evaded answering a
few questions from the press, agreed to enforce the arms embargo,
stood for a photo shoot, and went home, having done their jobs. Today
they'll ignore the agreement and violate the arms embargo again.
In my article yesterday on Afghanistan, I described three laughable
peace agreements -- in Afghanistan, the Mideast, and Idlib (Syria).
All of these agreements are jokes that will never be honored.
And now we have this laughable Libya agreement, where these people
agree to an arms embargo and then just ignore what they agreed to.
But this is a little different than the other agreements: It isn't
just me that's calling it a joke. It's the UN representative.
Actually, everyone knows it's a joke. Everyone knows that the other
three agreements are also jokes.
What the hell are these people doing? And why am I here?
You know, every day I sit alone in my apartment for 14-16 hours per
day, reading the news, writing little articles. So I read stories
every day about babies starving, children raped, men beaten and
tortured, endless slaughter, mutilations, lost mothers, lost fathers,
lost children, starving children with exposed bones, enslavement,
child trafficking, child prostitution, child soldiers, and depraved
politicians hiring trolls to lie about their atrocities. Rarely does
a day go by when there aren't two or three stories that bring tears to
my eyes.
When I was young, I didn't understand what was going on, and I figured
that I was too young to understand, and that I'd understand when I was
older. Well, that turns out to be true. I'm old enough now, and I
understand. And a lot of these politicians are really sick
psychopaths. Bashar al-Assad is the worst, but Vladimir Putin, Seyed
Ali Hosseini Khamenei, and Xi Jinping aren't far behind.
And I even understand how it happens, thanks to Generational Dynamics.
It's really very simple. I've seen it in country after country. I've
started calling it the "democide pattern."
When two ethnic groups have a generational crisis war with each other,
they conduct the most horrendous atrocities on each other during the
war. The most sickening acts become the norm during such a war. The
people who conduct these atrocities become traumatized, and turn into
psychopaths and sociopaths. At the climax of the war, when the worst
and most sickening atrocities occur, the war ends. The top general of
the side that wins becomes head of government. This is a guy who
ordered one sickening atrocity after another, and now he can't stop.
He's the worst sociopath of all.
So I see these politicians coming out of the Democide Pattern,
committing the most horrendous, sickening acts every day. There's an
unfolding catastrophe in Idlib, as well as active Holocausts in
Xinjiang and Rakhine, but these politicians just agree to pretend it
isn't happening. Or they hold a committee meeting, say "this is not
acceptable!" and then go home. As far as they're concerned, people
are no better than cockroaches.
As I've written in the past: There are several Holocausts going on
today, and nobody cares. Actually, nobody cared about the Nazi-Jew
Holocaust while it was going on. To care about a Holocaust while it's
actually going on is too politically painful, because the politicians,
the trolls, the defenders, the acolytes, the deniers, the
cheerleaders, the propagandists, the psychopaths, the sociopaths, and
the collaborators all benefit from the Holocaust, and will protect it.
It's only after it's over that nobody stands to benefit, and then the
wise men can stand up and say, "Never Again!"
So every day, every hour, every minute, I ask myself, why the hell am
I alive? I have no place in this world. Even if it weren't for the
fact that I'm going to run out of money and then I'll be forced to
kill myself, even forgetting that problem, there's still no place in
this world for me. This is an insane world which makes no sense to me
at all.
And the feeling is mutual. The world would like to get rid of me as
well. Here's a typical conversation:
The above is not a joke. It actually happened, and something like it
happens every week.
So on both a global and personal level, I have absolutely no place in
this world. On the global level, politicians make ridiculous
agreements that no one cares about, and on the personal level I don't
even exist.
Yeah, I know, thousands of people read the articles I write, and they
care. But for all but a few of them, the articles are like comic
strips that you can enjoy reading every day as long as they're free.
No one considers them to be worth anything, or worth paying a salary
for. Someone told me that they make thoughtful points, which means
that he considers them like Peanuts comic strips. If I disappeared, I
would be forgotten by all but a few people within a couple of weeks.
I'm like a cartoon character in my own comic strip. Why do I keep
doing this? I keep asking myself and never have an answer, except
you've gotta do something to fill the time till you run out of money.
Did all of you see the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" It's like
I used to live in the real world, but somehow I got abducted by
a Toon, and now I'm trapped in Toontown, and I've turned into a Toon
myself, with no way back to the real world.
And remember "The Dip"? It's impossible to kill a Toon since, after
all, they're Toons. But Judge Doom has found a way, with
The Dip, a mixture of turpentine, acetone, and benzine.
When Judge Doom throws a Toon into a vat of The Dip, then the
Toon dissolves.
So today, I'm trapped in Toontown and can't get out. Some politicians
are using The Dip in Syria, Burma, China, and elsewhere. And other
politicians scream, "this is not acceptable!" but then pretend it
isn't happening. And then there are the Democrats. Have you seen the
Democrats? They compete with each other every day to prove to the
world that they're the stupidest Toons of all.
And I keep wondering, why the hell am I here in Toontown? And if I've
turned into a Toon, and I can't get out of Toontown, then at least
tell me how I get access to that vat of The Dip.
Sorry about this long rant, and sorry to make it all about me. But
let's face it, I'm right. Look around. We do live in Toontown.

Quote: Recruiter: Hi, John. I saw your sensational resume
online, and you have exactly the skills that my new client is
looking for. Do you have a few minutes to talk about a new
software engineering role?
Me: Sure! But it's really a waste of time, because I'm over 60,
and nobody is hiring anyone over 60.
Recruiter: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. [pause] Well, do you know
anyone younger with the same skills?
Me: [Click]
