KELUTRAL forbidden in China


Kelutral in the Na'vi language (there is such thing) is the Hometree. Pity that Na'vi is forbidden language for the Celestial subjects. Their government has ordered to stop screening Avatar out of fear that the revolt by the indigenous Na'vi population shown in the film would ignite the Chinese people's imagination to instigate a similar popular revolt. I am, once again, scratching my head. Of course I was aware of the film's subversive, revolutionary message. I assumed it was an American Anti-American film, and most bloggers thought the same. Who had believed that the Chinese government would fear it?

Reflexion: America's ideological message is considered the most revolutionary, most corrupting, most dangerous to authoritarian dictatorships - from Islamic to Communist ones. Incredible. We are all wrong about America: It is not decaying, far from it, it is the revolution.

The movie has forced Dr Mahatir Mohammed, Malaysia's crazy uncle over the edge. He has emerged as a full blown Islamic nut. According to Islamic principles of logic, the following syllogism is impeccable.

a) Given that Israel benefited from 9/11
b) and that Hollywood is in the hands of Jews
c) and further that AVATAR clearly demonstrates the verisimilitude that modern cinema technology can achieve.

Therefore it clearly follows that the destruction of the WTC was directed from Tel Aviv.

Which brings to my fevered mind the question, did any Israeli die in Haiti? Who told the backpackers to stay away?

No Israelis died in Haiti's quake. Haiti is not the favorite destination for Israeli backpackers; India is.
