Try as I might, I simply cannot leave these
thoughts alone...
While I'm aware that perhaps many shy away
from the topic of Real life in Thy World 'O Motorsports, i.e.; Race, Religion
and Politics. If you've visited No Fenders over the years, then you're well
aware that I tend to not follow this
Mantra.
As I especially bristled over Mr. Howdy
Doody; Err Mr. Christian Horner's moronic Jabberwocky' two years ago over how
Sports isn't Political! For which I was so Dumbfounded over the ABSURDITY of
his Sound bite that A-L-L I could say was for Chris to Put a Sock in I-T!
Ironically as we're about to witness the
European Grand Prix being held in the Democratic enclave of Baku, eighty years
ago this very summer, Thy Architect of masterfully? Or more perhaps maniacally!
A man named Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Enlightenment and Propaganda
saw the fruition of his Master Plan regarding total capitulation of Thy Summer Olympics
NO less! As Germany's World Stage to bathe their country in a positive, happy
and joyous tone "Wink-wink, Nudge-Nudge!"
As Reich Minister Goebbels ultimate design
upon hosting the xi Games of the Olympiad was to not only paint Der Fatherland
in a softer light, but also allow further time
for Herr Commandant, a shrill little man named Adolf Hitler to continue
producing the vast armaments, weapons and supplies, along with whipping his
subjects; Err civilians into total submission towards Der Fuhrer's ultimate
goal of waging war for control of Europe and points beyond in what ultimately
became known as the second Great War, nee World War II!
Now am I proclaiming that Azerbaijan's leader
has similar intentions, Hardly! Nor am I comparing their country to the state of
Germany in the 1930's when Jewish people of all walks of life were being
rounded up and quietly secreted to "Death Kamps," not to mention
Homosexuals, Gypsies and anyone else Der Fuhrer or his Henchmen, notably led by
Herr Goebbels, one of Hitler's closest allies despised!
Y'all know, the man who MURDERED All Six of his
Children at the end of the War!
Yet Azerbaijan isn't a poster child for Human
Rights by any stretch of Thy Imagination! As the Azerbaijani Government has
brutally cracked down upon Journalists, Reporters, Bloggers and anybody else
daring to Freely speak critically about the government's Subversion by
imprisoning many on theoretical trumped up political charges.
As it appears that the only F1 voice even remotely
talking about this topic will be Grizzled Journo' Joe Saward - who's the only
one I've read pointing out the Hypocrisy towards the egregious ARSE over Tea
kettle Smoochy-Smooching Uncle Bernaughty was doing with Vladimir Putin at
Sochi, and Putin's blatant usage of Formula 1 simply as nothing more than a
Photo-op Tool!
Alas, sadly, as it's already been
demonstrated by the FIA, FOM and powers to be of Formula 1, while announcing
their addendum upon Human Rights, thee Games; Err Race must G-O on! Especially
due to the exorbitant sanctioning fee Bernie Ecclestone and his Pied Pipers are
receiving to use F1 to Photo Shop Democracy in Baku!
and now I've just discovered Azerbaijan's on
Pole in another category, along with Russia and Armenia close behind. With
Azerbaijan leading in regards to being the WORST place in Europe for the LGBTI
community! Which surely Monseir Todt and Mr. Bernard Charles Ecclestone will
tackle, eh?
As think I'll do like
years past with Bahrain, and simply Boycott watching the race, which surely
will make a difference, right? And I didn't even get started over the recent infighting in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region; Oh Never Mind!
