Mameluke Sword
Mameluke Sword
Today's U.S. Marine
Corps officers' Mameluke sword closely resembles those first worn in 1826.
Marine Corps history
states that a sword of this type was presented to Marine First Lieutenant
Presley O'Bannon by the Ottoman Empire viceroy, Prince Hamet, on December 8,
1805, during the First Barbary War, as a gesture of respect and praise for the
Marines' actions at the Battle of Derne.

Operation : h e p e
Mamluk Plan B
This post is about
the current conflict in the Middle East and
called the Mamluk Plan B
I have listened to
the honourable John Key Prime Minister of NZ publicly calling on New Zealanders
to support the Allies in the Middle East
Crisis.
Recently a well
spoken well informed member of the public service a leader in her community
with known political leanings made comment to a question of whether somebody
with an indigenous background should be brought in to deal with any issues in a
matter of a similar but lesser ethnic dilemma.
We are all the same
Her response was
that she felt it was unnecessary. If I didn’t know the woman I would have known
she was a western client by that answer. In her mindset we are all the same.
She was raised a westerner and is not able to think bilaterally.
My WVP – we are not
all the same
Some relevant
examples in point to do with food :
Question/s
If I opened a kina ,a
sea urchin straight from the ocean, divide with a bowie knife straight down the
centre of the animal it is still alive through its eye and laid it on a plate could
you eat it?
If I knocked a
kangaroo on its head with a boomerang then threw it on an open fire as is in
due course it would be cooked, pulled it from the fire and waited till it
cooled then ate it like barbecued chicken. Could you eat that?
How about lambs?
Dock their tails chuck them in the red hot coals of an open fire as with the
‘roo’ dish finger lickin’ goodstuff.Could you eat them?
Answer
Possibly not, unless
you have an acquired taste for it.Yet they are normal cuisine to people of
other cultures in this case the food of Maori (NZ) Koori (Australia)
Conflict without
resolution
How many countries
how many nations how many people have tried to squash this conflict with little
to no success?
How can W E help?
NZ doesn’t really
have an army an airforce and a navy.
Skeleton staff only
It’s a bit
ridiculous I know but I think we only have a couple of old boats probably
skeletal as well.
I know we have some
magnificent flying machines from WW1 & 2
We do have a tall
ship & Team NZ
Do we even have a
submarine or an aircraft carrier?
Well besides all
that we have excellent man power maybe 50 max
Next Question
Do we even know who
they are?
Do we have a
specific country to go to?
What’s the timeline?
Whats the job?
Whats the job
description?
Who is in charge?
Who’s paying or can
we borrow some planes boats aircraft uniforms guns or peace sticks ,shit why
not throw in some grundies!
The big question is
it one conflict or a leadup to more
Guys lets be
realistic
How can W E help?
We have squillions
of sheep and cows apples and kiwifruit maybe supply food act as a medi vac
country.
Think about it.
Index of terminology
used and their description
The Clients -the
people involved in this conflict, the friendly and the unfriendly natives
We shall not be
using the current terms given to the unfriendly groups for one reason-they
already have an identity a culture a heritage and an ancestry they have
ancestors so ISIS and the other terms are
contemporary recently newly formed names & logos. These people already have
a long history we shall come to that later.I noticed the President has come to
a similar conclusion and he is correct the fact that they claim to be Islamic
and protecting their religious rights is a misnomer and is a distraction from
the underlying problem. We all came from ancestors there is no history of an ISIS group or the others. So we can assume it’s a marketing
technique logo etc. as they steal children women and men and have formed their
own slave army.
Plan A
The Western Plan
Plan B
The Tribal Plan
Indigenous
How does a tribal
plan an indigenous plan differ from Plan A the western approach?
To understand the
underlying problems and causes you need to know what the problem is.
W h o are T H E Y?
ISIS etc is not an answer.
it is why you are getting nowhere.
My WVP
Its like getting on
a bus and when the driver asks you for your destination you answer “I don’t
know” and at present the people of NZ are asking
Where are we going?
Who are we going to
do (x) with?
What with?
Yes I agree we
cannot stand back and just watch.
Perhaps we better
think about it before we catch a bus to nowhere which is what everyone else
appears to be doing
