The story o 3 sons

Malaysian Parliament In our Parliament recently, an UMNO MP during his speech told a story..... "There was a father who gave RM100/- each to his 3 sons and asked them to buy things and fill up a room completely. First son bought hay for RM100/- but couldn't fill the room entirely. Second son bought cotton for RM100/- but couldn't fill the room entirely. Third son bought a candle for RM1/- and lit it up and the room was filled with light completely." The proud UMNO MP declared: "Our Prime Minister NAJIB is like the third son. From the day he has taken charge of his office, our country is filled with the bright light of prosperity." A voice from the backbench asked, "Where is the remaining RM99/-??" Now the whole nation is asking this same question!! Author: unnknoun Source: WhatsApp forward

Zizek wrote on the hypocracy of the western nations in RT.com

Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek has defended publishing his writings on RT, pointing out in an op-ed published in Germany’s Berliner Zeitung on Sunday that stories and opinions that are overlooked or even prohibited on the pages of the Western press can find safe harbor in the Moscow-based outlet. “Am I ashamed to have published my texts in Russia Today? No, absolutely not!” Zizek wrote.

As the range of allowed opinions in Western media narrowed, he said he had no choice but to turn to RT to publish his own views, citing “weaknesses of liberal democracy, Israel’s policy of apartheid in the West Bank, [and] the aberrations of political correctness” as examples of topics considered off-limits in the Western press. The philosopher specifically highlighted the saga of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange, whose case, he has repeatedly argued, highlights the extraordinary hypocrisy of the US and UK governments, who style themselves as defenders of democracy and the free press while fighting to lock up a man whose only “crime” was to publish leaked documents that revealed wartime atrocities committed by those governments. While the entirety of the Western media was fixated on the war in Ukraine, Assange was being drawn ever closer to extradition to the US, where he is charged with 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act and will almost certainly die in prison, Zizek pointed out. New developments in the case have been all but ignored in the US and European press. “How can [Washington] demand Assange’s extradition to the US when Assange is not a US citizen, was not involved in espionage against the US and all he did was, without a doubt publicize war crimes committed by the US?” he asked rhetorically, pointing out that Assange faces 175 years in prison “for merely exposing US crimes beyond reproach.” Slavoj Zizek: In the West, people aren’t even aware they’re not free Read more Slavoj Zizek: In the West, people aren’t even aware they’re not free Commenting on calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be tried for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, Zizek argued for former president George W. Bush, as well as his defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, if he were still alive, to be similarly tried for the invasion of Iraq under manufactured pretenses. The West and Russia must be interrogated with “the same critical questions,” he said. “How can the US demand this while not recognizing the jurisdiction of the Hague tribunal over its own citizens?” Neither ‘side’ should be considered immune from criticism, Zizek argued. “If we are forced to choose between Ukraine and Assange, we are doomed. Then we have sold our soul to the devil.” You can share this story on social media: Follow RT onRT Trends: Assange extradition Censorship Julian Assange Ukraine turmoil Join RT on Telegram Join RT on Telegram From Around the World Top stories $40 billion Ukraine aid package delayed in US Congress $40 billion Ukraine aid package delayed in US Congress China votes against UN probe into alleged Russian war crimes No nukes for Ukraine – US Russia comments on allegations of violence against children in Ukraine US voices North Korea nuke test fears US cancels oil lease sales despite fuel crisis ‘Russia not our enemy’ – US congressman Subscribe to RT newsletter to get news highlights of the day right in your mailbox E-mail We offer you the possibility to receive RT's news highlights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday by email.
