Up yours Vago! Up yours! Up yours with a rubber nose.
We the Scary Arab Clowns are sick of all this spiritual mumbo jumbo. We are tired of those that don’t see the end of civilization as hilarious. We are tired of being the lapdog of stupid Vago.
We didn’t digg your stuff either Vago! You and the three people that did digg it can go to clown hell!
Up yours Vago! We made our own website at Clownjazeera.com and we suspect that if you have any readers they will follow us there.
We thumb our nose at you and your three “Digg” friends Vago and we think the other people would prefer to follow us because all we ask of them is that they continue to ignore you!
Up yours up yours up yours up yours up yours. !
Your Dad doesn’t like you, your ‘readers’ don’t like you, and we don’t like you either. Chump!
Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Awesome protest tactics in Iran
When the going gets tough, the tough get creative. The Iranian people absolutely kick ass. Check out this incredible form of protest in the wake of being shut off the internet and the streets becoming dangerous:
the government shut down mobile networks, and for perhaps the first time since the June 12 presidential election, the Internet was disconnected for several hours late Tuesday night. But protests appear to be coordinated and to be taking other forms apart from street action: on Tuesday, for example, thousands of disgruntled Tehranis tried to bring down the electrical grid at 9 p.m. by simultaneously turning on household appliances like irons, water heaters and toasters. Streets lights in the eastern suburb of Tehran Pars reportedly went off shortly after this,

Feeding the Spirit: 30 days of Spiritual Practice for People of All Faiths During Ramadan 2009
I have been busting my tail to get all of this into a book for everyone. I tried to produce it as cheaply and quickly as possible so that I could keep the cost down below $10. The cost is $9.50.
In this book, I have condensed what I think are the most important messages of my life.
I framed the book around the Holy Month of Ramadan coming up in August of 2009. The book is non-denominational meaning that it is appropriate for everyone regardless of religion. There are no conflicts with ideology of any sort.
Downloads of the book are $3 each.
If you buy the book it is $9.50 printed for one.
If you buy ten books and send me a copy of your lulu receipt, I will send you back $10 after 30 days (to ensure that the books arrive and are not returned after I pay you). This means that you get a free copy and can sell the rest for whatever price you like or give them as gifts before Ramadan begins in mid August of 2009.
If you buy 100 books and send me a copy of your lulu receipt, I will send you $150 after the 30 day waiting period.
If you buy 500 books and send me a copy of your lulu receipt, I will send you $800 after the 30 day waiting period.
If you buy 1000 books and send me a copy of the lulu receipt, I will send you $2000 after the 30 day waiting period.
This is the best I can do. I think there are ways for this book to spread quickly and I think the message is far too important to not make it. You can make money with this. I’ve set it up as an incentive to get the book out far and wide.

Clownjazeera- Enjoy the Summer, Die in the Winter
We, the Scary Arab Clowns, have decided that while some people are scared of clowns and others find joy in them, that we prefer to be the harbingers of doom.
We laugh at the American economy as it ‘rises’. We are not there, but we seriously doubt that these ‘indicators’ are improving the lives of the vast majority of the people.
In fact, we think it might be the worst winter since the year 1346 A.D.
The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe’s population, reducing the world’s population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger number of deaths, until it left Europe in the nineteenth century.
Here are a few of the bright spots of good news we see today with some in-depth clown analysis after each.
In the United States, there is ‘good news’ from California as a budget deal has finally been reached.But is it actually good news?
Indeed, the cuts will be severe, and the Golden State that Governors Earl Warren and Pat Brown built in the middle of the past century will be further damaged. Local community governments, already hard-pressed by the recession and lower revenues, will now lose at least $2 billion to the state with the promise to repay when the fiscal situation improves. The higher-education system, including the University of California, is being hit by $2 billion in cuts. The public schools, already struggling with large class sizes and less technical and support services, must cut an additional $9.5 billion and will lose thousands of teachers and staff. Tens of thousands of seniors and children will lose access to health care at a time when the national government is debating universal health coverage. The entire state workforce, except forest-fire crews and the California Highway Patrol, is on a mandatory three-day furlough each month.
Our in depth analysis of this is pretty simple. California is saved for the moment. The price was the welfare of her senior citizens, school children, families, and small business. Conclusion: California is totally fucked and will soon be more of a third world country than Cuba but without the safety net of the communists. So this is not good news in any way shape or form.
The same sort of thing is happening in the broader world community.
The United Nations on Tuesday revealed a record $4.8 billion funding gap for its 2009 aid programs due to strained foreign assistance levels and a ten-fold increase in needs in Pakistan.
“It is clear that the global recession puts pressure on the aid budgets of all donor governments, but of course it puts immeasurably more pressure on crises-stricken people in poor countries,” said U.N. emergency relief coordinator John Holmes.
Holmes said in a statement the U.N. has received less than half the $9.5 billion it sought for humanitarian work this year.
Our analysis? Better pray that there aren’t any earthquakes or tsunamis this year. And guess what? Without the UN and NGO relief efforts, disease will spread like wildfire in refugee and survivor communities. And as we have pointed out before, H1N1 hasn’t shown us a thing yet. Seeds were planted in the spring, and the harvest will come in the fall and winter.
The H1N1 virus has killed more than 700 people worldwide since emerging in April, and countries could consider closing schools to slow its spread, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.
We think that we will see some major disasters over the next 7 months and there will be insufficient aid response which in turn will create the largest humanitarian disasters in history. This in turn will bring on the beginning of the new plague as H1N1 matures and spreads incredibly fast through 2nd and 3rd world nations leaving a trail of dead youth in it’s wake.
Meanwhile, the fanatics will rise up. Don’t think these fanatics aren’t scarier than we are:
A leadership vacuum has followed the deaths of prominent national leaders, such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell, and the retirement of others, such as James Dobson.
The economy is trumping the social issues that galvanized Christian conservatives in the past, and many feel the country has become less attuned to their values.
The religious right is in crisis, said James Wellman, a University of Washington associate professor of American religion. “I don’t think they know what they’re going to do next.”
But there is good news…
Astronomers say Jupiter has apparently been struck by an object, possibly a comet.
And then there is this weeks solar eclipse:
Indian astrologers are predicting violence and turmoil across the world as a result of this week’s total solar eclipse, which the superstitious and religious view as a sign of potential doom.
In Hindu mythology, the two demons Rahu and Ketu are said to “swallow” the sun during eclipses, snuffing out its life-giving light and causing food to become inedible and water undrinkable.
Pregnant women are advised to stay indoors to prevent their babies developing birth defects, while prayers, fasting and ritual bathing, particularly in holy rivers, are encouraged.
It is not just in India that some are uneasy about what will transpire because of the eclipse.
In ancient China they were often associated with disasters, the death of an emperor or other dark events, and similar superstitions persist.
“The probability for unrest or war to take place in years when a solar eclipse happens is 95 percent,” announced an article that attracted a lot of hits on the popular Chinese web portal Baidu.com.
