Of Thugs & Misdirection

I gotta hand it to the current administration. They are very slick in using this whole Ahmadiyah FPI saga as a smokescreen for the 35% rise of fuel price.

Now everyone and their English speaking dog is crying in unison for the banning of these FPI thugs and forgetting already about the petroleum hike.

It's funny and amusing how the local blogdom react to some members of the aptly named National Alliance for Freedom of Religion and Faith (AKKBB) being beaten to pulp by these so called Islamic Defender Front (FPI).

It's like a competition of who could scream foul the loudest and who could come up with the most creative insults to this notorious band of men in robes. Kudos to them. Let them all be the unwitting cogs of SBY's PR machine.

The overreaction will definitely reach its fever pitch in these coming weeks drowning all the issue of inflation and the increase of living cost. As I were saying, more power to SBY's think tank.

The conniving section of the media also working full time for this. I haven't been able to guesstimate what their motive was. To sell papers/slots while staying in the good books of the government perhaps. It's like one clap for two flies at once.

O well, all of this to me is like watching a car crash.
