Welcome to WMD - a blog against Organized Football and KRAUT.

Let me explain shortly what's it all about:

To overcome depressions in the coming weeks, I thought it might be useful to create a blog giving some background information hard to find in the international press about the worst case scenario starting in Germany on the 9th of June, writing against:
  • Organized Football: If you play football, if you liked the movie "Bend It Like Beckham", even if you're football fan, you don't have necessarily to stop here (some of my best friends... are football fans). Yet, I think it's a silly habit that even some sworn enemies of all that is sacred to the ordinary German have to annoy their audience with their intimate sports affiliations. So don't expect any comments on game results out of the scope of this blogs intentions.
    By Organized Football, I mean the so-called unpolitical pan-nationalist madness culminating every four years in the World Cup organized by FIFA and the DFB, the German Football League. These organizations always were willing to take part in the propaganda shows of reactionary and fascist regimes from Nazi Germany to the Iranian Mullahs of today. Of course their unpolitical functionaries never had any objections against the alternative use of football stadiums as torture camps and execution sites - in Chile, Iraq or under the Taliban. "We are not in politics" (Sepp Blatter, Chief of the FIFA) - except if stadiums, not people are hurt, as in the case of an attack of the Israeli army against a palestinian football field in retaliation against rocket attacks from the Gaza strip on Israeli civilians.
    And of course they won't exlude Iran from the World Cup - just because the Iranian President is a holocaust-denier and a nuclear hooligan who threatens to wipe Israel from the map. Naturally, President Ahmadinejad is also a football fan and threatens to come to Germany to view a match of the Iranian team. He's making it quite difficult at the moment for German politics to maintain the "critical dialogue" with "reformist islamism" preached especially by Germany, one of the biggest trade partners of the Iranian regime.

  • KRAUT - a state of affairs which Karl Marx described as far "below the level of history - an existence which is as despicable as it is despised."
    On the one hand there's the old-style Germany: 60 years after the end of WWII you have "national liberated zones" - large no-go-areas for people who are not considered "aryan", controlled by Neo-Nazis. If you get beaten up by them, police and public authorities sooner or later will state that the victim was the aggressor.
    On the level of international relations, German and European Nazis have discovered "international solidarity" with an islamic fascist and his opinions about the holocaust. The Nazis know exactly why they support Ahmadinejad. They have the same goals and a long common history: Death to the Jews, death to the USA and - yes, still - death to lefties and communists - although you might doubt the last because (at least in Germany) it's sometimes hard to distinguish between the outfit and slogans of left- and rightwing Antiglobalists. This strange convergence leads to the sad conclusion that more than 150 years after Marx wrote about the anachronistic german state of affairs it's the other way round: At least ideologically Germany marks the level of history.
    It's not a matter of genetics - you don't have to be German to be a German ideologist, you don't even have to be a Nazi to share resentments which until 1945 where the privilege of German Nazis and their fellow travellers; you just have to understand the "hurt religious feelings" of islamists rioting against some cartoons, or you're a "radical" who thinks that Anti-americanism is the crown of social critique or an european apologist of "civil society" covering his own conformism by projecting the horrors of capitalism on "jewish cabals" and american society and by supporting every thinkable reactionary movement which fosters the barbarization of the capitalist world order under "social" slogans.

Pardon my bad English and my limited time. This blog is gonna grow - slowly but surely. For comments and contributions, write to companara@yahoo.de

Hi Ben,
habe vom Kollegen Liza heute von Deinem Blog erfahren, und bin sehr angetan. Werde Dich morgen bei Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum verlinken. Kommt gleich nach dem Post, in dem dem israelischen Atomschlag gegen Saddams Endloesungsreaktor vor genau 25 Jahren gedacht wird!

Gruss,

I feel a little less depressed by the world cup (as stated in your intentions to run this blog) since I've read this article ;-)
