Glenn Given the fact I had only reached the wise old age
of 8 and thus had no idea what it meant, nevertheless
I thought the word “bitch” must certainly apply to
her. By the 2nd grade she had already been crowned by
the rest of us with the title “Big Momma”. She was as
mean, ugly and wild as a feral hog in the latter stage
of rabies and who salivated over the opportunity to
pick fights with others. Like any typical gang leader,
she had a gaggle of lackeys and hangers-on around her
(girls just as ugly as she was) and believe it or not
would even bully the boys around sometimes. I once
watched as she punched one kid in the face (just for
fun) and his eyeball fell out. She was fat, had a BO problem long before that
“change of life” thing known as puberty arrived and
was shockingly unattractive, which I suppose explained
a lot in terms of her disposition. Making matters even
worse was the fact that–as an only child whose parents
doted on everything she did, irrespective of whatever
it was–she never once came even close to getting the
ass-whoopin’ she needed in those “formative” years and
therefore was as spoiled as a kid could get. Not long after her arrival then nature did its
thing and she made herself “yard boss” for life. This
job entailed her making existence for the rest of us
just wanting to get along in that jungle known as
recess a living hell and she obviously loved it. Her enemies became OUR enemies without us having
anything to say about it. Every week it was a new one,
and usually for nothing whatsoever. Once the fat
lady–meaning Big Momma–sung and the rest of her gang
started in on the chorus whoever happened to be the
lucky winner for the week was subjected to an
organized, loud, and relentless campaign of teasing
and alienation. And the thing was, as I said, it wasn’t something
between just her and so-and so. We were all forced to
take part in it. If someone was on her shit list, you
better not be seen talking to him or her in a friendly
way lest you wind up on it as well. Through the force
of her spoken and unspoken threats, we were all
expected to partake in the punitive program of making
so-and-so feel as unwelcome as possible. The only way
the condemned could sue for peace was to prostrate him
or herself at the fat, smelly feet of Big Momma and
beg for forgiveness for something that never even
occurred. God help any newcomers, and especially if they were
of the feminine persuasion who happened to be gifted
in the personality, brains or good looks department.
Big Momma would make sure to rally the troops and make
life on earth for this poor creature like something
out of a Stephen King novel. I remember seeing little
girls sitting by themselves crying and knowing why.
Oftentimes they switched to another school within just
a week’s time. The amazing thing was, BM–Big Momma–never thought
about tomorrow and what her behavior might eventually
bring. She never considered the law of physics
regarding reactions equal and opposite to the actions
that preceded them. She never thought about own
bullyish behavior and what it would inevitably
produce, meaning the legions of enemies she created.
Nor did she think about the fact that her place as
yard boss was dependant upon the gang she had
assembled around her, and that eventually, all her
allies and associates might one day decide they needed
something new in their lives and thus walk away from
it all. Which was exactly what happened. Eventually, and by
this I mean about 8 years later, the rest of us had
pretty much had it up to here with Big Momma. And then
one day, I can’t remember what it was over and without
any planning or conspiring, we all turned on her and
gave her a dose of what she had given all of us for 8
years. It was cruel, but sometimes justice is. She got
the cold shoulder and the silent treatment. We laughed
and snickered. Pictures were drawn and limericks
composed. I knew her reign of terror was officially
over when one day I saw her sitting at lunch by
herself (whereas in years past she would be surrounded
by her fellow thugettes as if she were some elementary
school mob boss) while her former associates sat at
the table behind her and threw small piece of food at
her while roaring with laughter. School let out for summer break shortly thereafter
and when we all gathered together again in the fall
for a new school year, Big Momma was gone and had been
replaced with a kinder, gentler gal who was ready to
make friends and play nice. I think it is safe to say we have all seen some
variation of Big Momma sometime in our lives. As the
old saying goes “There’s one in every crowd”. There is
this thing known as the law of the jungle which
pervades everything and especially when it comes to
vacuums of power and how they get filled. And we think that once we’ve left that childhood
world of childish behavior that it is all over, and
not without good reason. After all, the normal process
of things is that people grow up, realize that the
world does not revolve around only them and begin
acting their age. They get educated, then married,
have kids and then learn to live cooperatively with
neighbors and do their part in building societies,
nations and civilizations. Except for some, it seems. Some insist upon living
in Never, Never Land– meaning the glory days of their
youth–when they were yard boss and king (or queen) of
the hill…Individuals who thrive on conflict and get a
rush when thinking back nostalgically to the times
they punched so-and-so in the face and his eyeball
fell out or caused so-and-so who had just arrived from
another school to pack up and evacuate. Like being
stuck in the mud up to the car’s axles or like a
defective phonograph with a scratch down the middle,
they are stuck at a certain part of the song and do
not progress any further than that as it repeats
itself over, and over and over ad infinitum. Behold, I give you, ladies and gentlemen, the
Jewish state. Take for example the latest dealings we in the
global schoolyard are forced to deal with concerning
Israel, Big Momma of the Middle East who can’t get
along with anyone and wets her pants over the prospect
of going to war against her neighbors. Besides the
already-disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we
have Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan and others on the
back burner getting ready to boil over. Not an hour in
a day goes by where we aren’t getting “the look” from
Big Momma or one of her associates indicating how we
are expected to involve ourselves in the brouhaha she
has built up of her own doing. Daily hysterical OpEds
from creatures with names such as Krauthammer, Kristol,
Kagan, Podhoretz, Foxman, Wiesel, etc, etc, etc, and
how the rest of us are all in mortal danger if we
don’t ban together and fight Big Momma’s battles for
her…No price–either with regards to our treasury or to
our most precious resource, the blood of our children
serving in the military–is too much. At the risk of sounding pithy, why can’t she and
her people just grow up and act their age? I mean
after all, as the rest of us poor Gentile slobs are
reminded on a daily basis, they are supposed to be the
cream of the crop and the finest that humanity has to
offer, right? Listening to the narrative as they tell
it, civilization BEGAN with them and we would all
still be swinging from the trees and communicating in
monosyllabic grunts were it not for the
“enlightenment” they brought to mankind. Furthermore, and again, as we poor Gentile slobs
are reminded on a daily basis, why do they need OUR
help? Isn’t this the same crew so loved by their god
that he performed all sorts of miracles for them in
smiting their enemies, from the plagues to the angel
of death killing the first born? What do they need OUR
money for? Where is their god who–at least according
to the narrative they use in justifying their
superiority over the rest of us–showed such favoritism
to them that he was willing to part the Red Sea, lead
them to the promised land with a sandstorm by day and
a pillar of fire by night? I guess he must be on
sabbatical these days, ‘cause we certainly don’t see
him showing any interest in this matter in their
favor, which is why they are regularly and routinely
caught stealing money, weapons, secrets and political
support from America and the West in ginning up these
wars in her neighborhood. But then, why should we be so surprised? Notice
that the most important part of the term “growing up”
is the word “growing”, which means moving upwards
towards something (hopefully) better. Tragically, this is not the case regarding the
Jewish community. As they demonstrate on a daily
basis, they are a people not just ROOTED in the past,
but indeed BURIED in it. Their’s is a world view
frozen in time (roughly 4000 BC to be exact) and who
focus all their energies and attention on a collection
of stories involving forefathers claiming to have
received messages from some higher power instructing
them to lie, cheat, steal, murder dispossess, displace
and enslave those within their reach. Whereas the rest
of the world hums along to Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t
Stop Thinking About Tomorrow” the Jewish people
can’t get “Yesterday” from the Beatles out of
their heads, and particularly the very first lines– “Yesterday…All my troubles seemed so far
away…Now it looks as though they’re here to stay…Oh I
believe in yesterday… And now the latest from Big Momma involves us, the
West, engaging in the same kind of childish, impish
behavior she is so fond of exhibiting when it comes to
her competitors– Jewish groups: Boycott Ahmadinejhad in
NYC NEW YORK (JTA) — Jewish groups are calling on
U.N. member representatives to walk out in protest
when Iran’s president speaks next week at the United
Nations. Mahmoud Ahmadinejhad’s plans to address the
U.N. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review
Conference on May 3 makes a mockery of the
proceedings, Jewish groups said. “We call on all countries, particularly those
that value democracy and freedom, to leave the United
Nations hall when Iran’s president, Mahmoud
Ahmadinejhad, rises to speak,” the president and
executive vice chairman of the Conference of
Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said
in a statement. “Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear weapons
capability poses a threat to the region and the entire
Western world. To have President Ahmadinejhad address
this review conference makes a mockery of the efforts
of many countries to prevent nuclear weapons and
nuclear terrorism from becoming the gravest global
threats of this century.” The Jewish Community Relations Council of New
York issued an action alert urging readers to e-mail
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at sg@un.org to
protest Ahmadinejhad’s inclusion at the conference. The World Jewish Congress asked its member
communities to contact their government
representatives to persuade them to participate in the
protest walkout, saying in a statement, “It is
dismaying that, once again, the U.N. is allowing the
head of a regime, foremost in the sponsorship of
terrorism and the abuse of human rights, who defies
U.N. resolutions regarding its nuclear ambitions, to
appear before the international body.” WTF is this, the 2nd grade??? The rest of the
world–doused in war as it is and about to get even
wetter if the Jewish community gets its way viz-a-viz
Iran–is expected to engage in the same kind of
backwards, juvenile, arrested-development behavior as
if this were some schoolyard drama? Why not hear the man out? Civilized society is
BASED upon discourse, dialogue and discussion. What,
is he going to pull a thermonuclear bomb he has hidden
in his turban and detonate it, killing all life on
earth? What are Jewish interests so afraid of that
they must engage in (and drag everyone else into)
grade school-level antics such as walking out? Sadly, there is only one Final Solution to all
this, and one that must be done without the
cooperation of Big Momma. The fact is, if we–the rest
of the civilized world predicate world peace on the
hopes that Big Momma is going to grow up and start
acting her age, then world peace will never come. It
is not within her character to seek peace and
cooperation. She needs conflict and chaos as much as a
dentist needs cavities if he is to stay in business.
Peace, prosperity and global order? Not while she
rules as yard boss. The first step, most of the times the most
difficult, is realizing that there is a problem. The
problem here is this gal who believes–TRULY
believes–that the world revolves around her as if she
were the star of the show, and what’s worse is the
fact that she is willing to do anything while on
center stage in order to keep the spotlight on her,
and even if it means burning down the theater with
everyone in it. What is needed is a campaign of booing, LOUD
booing, rotten vegetables being thrown and us–the
world body–getting up and walking out of the
performance and, most importantly–NEVER COMING BACK.
Deal with her the way all civilized countries have
throughout history–shun her, drive her out and refuse
her entry into civilized societies until she can learn
to play nice. Absent all this, the world will continue
to slide downward to Big Momma’s level, and all that
has been achieved in the last 2,000+ years will be
swallowed up and devoured in what is quickly becoming
for the human race the mother of all battles. |
