Oslo Massacre!

I posted on August 8, 2010 that Norway is the Best Country in the World to Live.

I lay the wreath with millions others on the souls of innocent lives lost for no reason.

The Bombing and the massacre by a Right Wing Fundamentalist has waken up the Norwegian society on the level of frustration that some people have with their governments and the way they redress the frustrations.

A very open society is the one which does not suppress a debate and where the parliament, the right owner of the peoples wishes then shapes the laws and limitations for an overpowering society. It then reflects the true character of a nation. Societies, where not only basic needs are guaranteed by the state , but generally are of above average quality, tend to give the highest order of merit in each of its executions. Sometimes these then tend to be the other extreme , as seen in this particular case.

The very fact that the Police could not show up at the tragedy ground despite multiple help calls, shows that the state is practically non Policed.

The Best states in the world are those, which are least Policed. Hence, I was not surprised that the Police were on a holiday and with their limited force could not really limit the damage. It is well understandable that a society, which does not see much crime or rarely needs police intervention, the security apparatus is largely minimal. Second, the situation in Oslo at the moment, when the massacre took place was one of confusion and chaos. Hence delayed arrival of Police at the crime scene could be well explained by the history and the situation.

The message to the Norwegian Government is not really improving the Policing, but debating the wants of its own people. The Police will anyway improve itself to take care of such situations in future. Who in the world likes Police Sirens disturbing the streets the whole day and night as witnessed in most metro cities.

The Media at the first stage as usual started blaming the Al Qaida Terrorist and Danish Cartoons for the event. It was so clear from the bombing that it could have never been the handiwork of Al Qaida. The bombing of the Norwegian PM office and the ministries could have been only carried out by a Disgruntled Norwegian. A right wing Christian Fundamentalist has now laid the way for Christian Qaida.

The only thing, which I could not understand was that how one single man could manage to shoot more then 70 people. But it also shows that it only takes one single person to cause enough damage to humanity. Whether it was 9/11 or 7/7 or Oslo 77.

Those who swank big armies and big security forces should learn from this that it is not the size of the army or the quality of the arms, which matters, but is the force of Over Powering Debate with unresolved answers , which create more damage. Pen is Mightier Then The Sword In The 21st Century. But if you refuse to listen to the pen, then it automatically explodes sooner or later, as now seen in the case of Norway , Libya, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain etc etc.

Interestingly, when the world came to know that the Person will at best serve 20 years and then be released , it was beyond their understanding that there are societies, where Human Rights Excel Beyond everything else. For countries like US and others, where they have capital punishment need to learn from Norway that after 20 years, a person in prison is a changed person and is no more a threat to society. Also for all those countries, who put big boards on their arrival halls of airport that carrying drugs is punishable by Death. Though are deeply embedded in corruption and human rights abuses themselves. Do they have a right to take away lives of offenders, when the governments themselves are the biggest offenders of human rights and corruption.

Murdoch Mad Masala!

Murdoch has built a global media empire. The sun never sets on the Media empires. They work 24x365 and now they are right there peeping into your bathrooms and bedrooms. The royalty to the politicians to the street vendor all have room on the silver screen of media. How, otherwise can a media business keep its customers glued to the TV or print media and now Internet.

I am a rather open person and the only place I shut myself is in the Toilet. So, for me, if media scans me byte by byte, it will still find juicer stories, but unless it makes me famous, who is bothered about poor me. I am not a salable character till some story of mine becomes a sucker on facebook or print media.

Now coming back to the Murdoch's phone tapping and the fall of the newspaper. If one is actually an open person, then usually he would believe that his words, his actions, his deeds are already compatible with the society and any case God is watching him, therefore, if media is also watching, does not really make a big difference. The phone tapping got done by the Police and the conversations were sold to the media in some cases. The Top Cop resigned and he should certainly resign. The police are always good in messing up, whether it is NY or UK or Norway or Afghanistan.

When I surf the web, within seconds, it starts returning advertisements on my search results, it then tracks me for each page I visit and each hyperlink I click etc etc. It follows me through till I log off and if somehow some virus could jump out of the screen, it would have actually made its way into my body and started flashing everything about me to the predators. So , what privacy are we talking about. None, what so ever. The modern man is connected to the internet and the internet is profiling your needs , your personality, your job, your salary, your girlfriends, your virtual sex life, your naughty affairs and all your secrets . In effect it is the " Real Me" , though well described as the " Virtual Me"

Luckily, Murdoch media is only blamed only for Phone Tapping. If a little more research was done, they would have found that it has hacked the computers of each of its subjects and lucidly fancied on the juicer details, which had commercial value.

We are now reaching a stage of Utopian world. Where everything is perfect. Thanks to the technology. No one will be able to hide nothing. No more hypocrisy, no more lies and no more cheating. Instant results will be flashed about the person on the net, Mr Poogle visited the prostitute 14 times, the best price he paid for his last prostitute was $9 for a short stint. He buys viagra online, his favorite site is Playcam, his girlfriend list is 45, well embedded in 587 facebook friends. His matching genes children can be found on Boulevard Corner and he was rated " C" in his performance appraisal by the madam. Courtesy : Pikkyleaks.

In a changed world, it is not that one has to make laws more stricter to not permit others to scan your life, but to modify your life to become nice and clean, so that it is like an open book for everyone to read. Murdoch is there everywhere around you now. How much will the people conceal themselves, there is no further scope. Till now, it was God , who was watching you. Now, everyone is watching you.

At the end, I don't really mind, if the politicians whom we trust to deliver the goods and services are regularly scanned for their conduct and job performance . No matter, what technology is used and what means are used.
