Evil Mushrooms

With those black berets and khaki masks, these members of ETA look very much like evil mushrooms. Don’t they? Even more so when you don’t darken the image to make them look scary:

The terrorist group ETA is the KKK of basque chauvinism. Every so often, they kill someone or declare a unilateral cease-fire to remain relevant. They did it again just the other day (declare a cease-fire, I mean), but the Spanish government is to be praised for its response: sorry, you should just disband.

Meanwhile, professional Islamophobes are getting ready to burn copies of the Qur’an, which has the Christophobes in Jakarta riled up.

All these mushrooms fracking deserve each other. They grow up in the absence of disinfecting commerce and attention to policy, i.e. sunshine. Shine the light of truth on them (ETA has become a criminal organization, period) and they lose power.

Military occupation, especially military occupation of your own country, is exactly how to give such a movement the darkness and fertile soil it wants. Worse, military occupation is the only solution invented by man…other than governance.

Today, the Basque people want no part of ETA. It survives entirely in secret, finding no safe harbor. No wonder they want to keep their heads down. The Basque society all around them has outgrown any need for their existence, if indeed you can argue the need ever existed.

Fewer mock-missiles, more Corboda Houses, and we might very well get to this place with the terrorists of al-Qaeda. Or, we can do like the people of Ceylon and just have a bloody war until one side loses, except we can do it on a global scale. That would serve the mushrooms fine.

And before the trolls weigh in, there was a time when ETA was the most violent terror organization in Europe. Just as Tamil Hindus invented the suicide-vest, most of what Islamophobes “know” about Islam and terror is entirely bunkum.

But mushrooms grow well in manure, I’m told.
