A GROWING DIVIDE .......


A simple true and elegant definition of sane and successful leadership is; "The process of facilitating the accomplishments of a group, on organizational and societal objectives." Leadership by facilitating through fair influence the accomplishments of goals held by the group, all of the group, will succeed and be called great leaders .

Not Mr. Trump, nor PM Netanyahu, and their doomed oligarchies, are this type of leaders, non of them managed to install a system of governance and leadership leading to harmony within their societies. A Mr. Putin, even Mr. Erdogan, both undisputed dictators within their countries, are far more qualified to be called leaders, or pseudo leaders at least .

More liberals, intellectuals, religious and secular, Jewish, Christians or others, younger and older,  from all over the world, and the Western world more particularly, are voicing loud concerns, and speaking openly against Israeli Zionist policies and applications in their under occupation territories, their flagrant apartheid system , and the blind American back-up and support. Even their meddling in every country of the region challenging Israeli hegemonic politics .

Many if not most leaders speak of justice as only they understand it, from their positions as kings or commanders in chief and theocratic leaders. Most become selfish, afraid of rebellions from within their own ranks, and invariably turn into poor losers. These leaders become only concerned with finding the convenient answers and then persuading their followers to accept them .

The worst that could happen to a people under such leaderships, is the total loss of any sense of justice and fairness . Democratic institutions cannot always be relied upon nor trusted to regularly achieve justice and fairness in their regimes, but at least what democracy can insure is for the people to open and continue the discussions needed for change, for better governance, for better fairness and justice .

When a society starts fracturing from within, we know for sure that justice has failed somewhere, and injustice reign. With Israel's Zionists and the American right wing literal Evangelists, and vulgar and naive Trumpism, one would wonder; if it's all in the name of God, what are they leaving to the Devil ?? 

The truly unwise leaders of this world have no idea how much they are missing, and how harsh future judgment will be, they are so arrogantly proud of their falsehood and so insensitive to anything else , they totally fail to grasp how much they failed in wisdom, and continue to do .

My as always, many thanks to all my readers worldwide .

JUSTICE , FAIRNESS AND COMPASSION ....


When people follow leaders who are evil, it will only lead to more evil in the world, and when people follow leaders who are good , it will lead to more good automatically. As the world today is not short at all of all sort of evil leaders, America, Israel, North Korea and Turkey, plus all theocracies and the various dictators who are all just some of the crazy and evil leaders and leaderships around .

Justice and fairness in any society require a sane leadership. There can be no justice in any community without the good ambiance and atmosphere that sane and healthy leadership can bring with it and establish the principles in the community. Nothing would justify a person to poison or destroy a community for the sake of personal advantages or even a certain ideology or a narrow personal view or dream .

Granted, we all agree that no one practically has the soul that's always so well tempered , and many if not most hardly ever have their desires and ambitions continually checked and balanced, some will do anything for power, or for profit, or even to prove themselves capable of doing, as Mr. Trump, Netanyahu, or Erdogan all living examples will certify and prove .

Are justice, fairness and correctness just an ideal ?? Something just to think about academically, and theoretically , but cannot expect to have on this earth, at least not in our times any more !! Justice, fairness and compassion are very interrelated idioms in modern human life .

Leaders like Mr. Trump lacks all, compared to his predecessor, or all his predecessors. Netanyahu compared to Rabin (A very tough soldier himself) is lacking all of the above traits, Chaim Weizmann, the first president of Israel, famously said; "It is by its treatment of the Palestinians that this country will be judged."  Yet, when judged by this same criterion, Zionism and its leaders are not just an unqualified failure, but a tragedy of historic proportions .

Mr. Erdogan , compared to Ataturk (Mustafa Kamal) is a midget and far from the later's compassion, visions and fairness, the Mullahs in Iran are no match but worse than most previous leaders in Iranian history. Saudi royalty has no previous comparison, and do not match anyone else in the world. They all stand alone with no justice, fairness or compassion what so ever. These leaders and similar ones in the world, only manage to create divided societies at best, that is when they don't totally destroy their own .

The worst that could happen to a people, is the total loss of a sense of justice and fairness, this amnesia like hits people for longer or shorter periods of time, as history keeps reminding us of our recent ugly periods, of the Nazi regime, and apartheid South Africa, both very destructive and thankfully relatively short, the case of present Israel , its regime and its brainwashed Zionist population puts it in direct partnership with both previous regimes.

Modern politics in the U.S. are steadily leaning and leading America and Americans to some of the previous, with total lack of justice, compassion and fairness, I firmly believe we should be very, very careful with where we're going in life .

My gratitude for your time, perseverance and help .

FAKING IT AND FAKE NEWS .......


Intentional fake, mistaken fake, political, economical and social fake, national and religious fake news, are all nowadays back to becoming an essential part and tool of our 21st century lives, politics and governance. The American president Mr. Trump made it more so, as he is an ardent and passionate user of these Techniques and tactics, leading to blatant fake news, fake policies and fake visions .

Countries are now using fake news to influence elections, issues and public opinions about social, economical and political issues, security and occupation issues . It is the 21st century's weapon of choice, and a very efficient tool of manipulation, using modern technologies and media, super powers, second and third countries are all taking benefit internally and externally . They all try to influence their own populations, their neighbors and the whole world of their policies and doings be it dictatorial, religious, hegemonic, colonial, apartheid inclined or purely Neocons and fascistic .

They are all using and stretching the philosophy of fake news, inventing new psychological tricks daily . The word itself is loosing its meaning, at least its effective meaning, by it being over used by all sides and parties, and for all and any purpose . Our own Trump administration, the Russian administration, the Turkish and surely the Israeli present ultra right Zionist factions, are all clear, open and obvious examples of manipulating to dangerous levels the game of fake news.

To analyse the latest effects of American and international medias,the internet, plus the intentional and deliberate fake news, emitted by all sides over the American electorate lately, one would absolutely believe we are all living in some la la lands, or we're all drifting into some banana republic type regime and mentality, possibly that's our future fate after all.

It's all very sad and disappointing after so many years of slow social progress, fiscal progress, sane leadership in the world, we are suddenly and abruptly giving it all away, for free, just to please some basic animalist instincts in ourselves. Whereby the superior one or two percent are regaining power with unmatched vengeance, and the 95 to 98 percent are helplessly watching . Some even are naively approving , as divinity is making its come back with this fake situation .

All politicians with no exception all over the world use some fake news, to influence their electorate , embellish their persona and regimes, but some are by far better masters and even teachers of the game, Mr. Trump and his mentor B. Netanyahu are unique at the game, Mr. Putin and Erdogan come as seconds . The north Korean young leader is the newest apprentice, but quite promising. The Saudi young crown prince MBS, comes in the game triumphantly as well.

Thanks to our own president foreign games and lack of policy, he is with no doubt initiating an assault on anyone and everyone internally, who could be a threat to his reign and presidency, attacking their credibility and integrity for the sake of his and his family's survival, now the game is switching to foreign countries allies or not, simply to cover America's failure in some spots and gain quick and cheep points in others.

Yes Mr. Trump , maybe your button is bigger than the North Korean, maybe yours is bigger or smaller than many or most of the world, but the world will not sustain your show, even the smallest buttons can and will have devastating effects on the planet, and its life. Let's stop cheaply intimidating the world with our size and our money. As you're not the only crazy one around, the world is full of leaders like you, and it could easily lead to an overall explosion .

At some point we'd have to sober-up and stop our fake policies and acts, and possibly get back to sane diplomacy without the show .
