AN ONGOING AMERICAN SAGA .......

No doubt about it , there is a serious gun violence epidemic going on at more regular and shorter intervals than ever before in the US . The country with its abundance of arms of all types resemble more small third world countries armed to their teeth that invariably leads to civil disturbances, riots ethnic and religious bloody conflicts, horrible dictatorships and selfish oligarchies, colonialism , apartheid and police, special agencies and militia supremacy and brutality .

Few days back, in Texas 8 innocent high school teens, and 2 teachers, were murdered, plus scores of wounded, at a high school in a small typical town called Santa Fe, by a fellow student with some grievances against other students, teachers and society . This scene comes after many similar in the past few months, Sandy Hook, Puls, Vegas, Parkland and many others, almost to the tone of one a month lately .

The intelligent compromise between some gun control measures and gun lovers and worshipers are readily available, and every lobbyist, politician, legislator, judiciary or member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) has them on his or her desk. They're all scared of enacting them. It's not a strictly men's affair as it sounds or the media and organizations try to show it, both genders and both parents are as responsible, and should have a clear say in the fate of our youth and students and innocent victims in the streets .

Legislation's are urgently needed with no feeling of shame, guilt or weakness by any partisan group or member. Legislation against the manufacturing and selling of assault weaponry, against all types of militaristic machine guns, high capacity magazines should be illegal and totally banned from the hands of civilians, mandating back ground checks for anyone looking to purchase a gun or an arsenal . Plus a country wide survey of gun ownership and the registering of actual existing guns of different sort and origins .

These little and necessary measures are not an assault on our liberties, they're not belittling our supposedly love and adoration of our sacred Second Amendment, they are not more restrictive than many or most civil regulations enforced by our laws and judiciary system. We have to register and pay taxes on our homes, cars, motorbikes, we have limitations on speed limits, we have mandatory census every few years, we have security requirements at government and civil buildings, at airports etc...etc..., so why the exception only with guns, that are far more dangerous and lethal than all the previous.

If it's only a sign, a symbol of resistance against authority and government, against civility, then I think it's high time we reflect on that, and start behaving more according to our common intellect rather than our instincts and gut feelings. We're only managing to kill and terrorize our own kids and citizens, as we're not allowed to carry our beloved arms anywhere else in the world .

If Mr. Trump and Congress and others want to keep it free, then I would suggest they make it free to carry open guns in all their quarters, the White House , Congress, all official offices in Washington and all States. There should be no discrimination between a school, church or a Capitol Hill . 

Our prayers and sympathy, our inaction in legislating are no more good enough, our pathetic words are becoming offensive to hundreds and thousands of innocent victims and their loved ones, from all walks of life. They are not good enough for our twenty first century life, and definitely not good at all for the future of our country, society and youths. Every elected or appointee to an official office or judiciary post should be held responsible for his or her opinions on these common-sense reforms .

All my usual gratitude for your time and attention .

                                           

A FINAL WORD .....

To conclude this tragic episode in the Palestinian unending saga, I'd like to remind my fellow Americans of some facts ;  American tax payers give Israel roughly 10 to 12 million Dollars per day, I'm not going into what can America do with this money internally, instead of cutting on every social program locally, as we're seeing with this inspired administration .

What I'm really questioning ; What is one of the most powerful and wealthiest countries in the world, a country with social programs way ahead of ours here in the US, what do they do with the money except kill, torture, dehumanize and use barbaric colonial apartheid methods and policies against its own population , especially the ones, unlike Zionist immigrants and all settlers, the ones who have been living on those lands for thousands of years .

It's all making us full partners in their heinous plans of extermination of a whole population , in their theft of land and resources, an accomplice in crimes perpetrated on daily basis by Israeli Zionists .

Hamas, PLO, Islam, Iran and Syria's Assad, Arabs, terrorism are only a small part of insignificant  excuses for the grand scheme of things to be. While, sadly the world is abandoning its conscience .

     

SHAMEFUL DOUBLE STANDARD ......

The fact that the Israeli military's  killing of Palestinian protesters isn't considered terrorism or genocide, betrays the vicious double standard used by those shaping the policies and formulating the narratives, be it politicians , media or religious clergy .

In the Palestinian case, the Israelis and Americans are the major and practically the sole players, and depict themselves as civilized human beings, and citizens of the world, while Palestinians are not . On the contrary, they are practically shown almost as animals deserving to be squashed, and the rest of the world has to accept this as a fact .

There's always some official justification , in the case of Gaza it's the word Hamas, terrible word indeed, even our Trumpistas official choir to the ceremony, used the same exact refrain and stanzas, trying to blame the victims of cruel sniping and brutal killings on everyone being Hamas .

If it's not a deliberate and calculated policy to try and save both Trump and Netanyahu from their many internal scandals and problems, I don't know what is !!! 

         

THE DAY AFTER , SMELL OF DEATH .....

The ceremony for the US Embassy's relocation in Israel, was going on with pomp , pride , and flush while simultaneously tens of Palestinians were sniped and butchered per hour , and hundreds of injured were sent to barely equipped and hardly surviving hospitals, all due to a harsh total isolation and the forbidding of any humanitarian products or medicine entry into the biggest concentration camp , for more than ten years .

Gaza is a bleeding wound , and no amount of Israeli or American PR, can mend it .

I wonder what kind of  person can look away , proudly smile with satisfaction, and declare the infant victims, and the desperate youth, to be the cause and reason for the brutality and barbarism .

Are we not , all, so proud of it ???


 

    

NAKBA DAY ......

It's not a Hamas march in Gaza as claimed by Mr. Trump and Netanyahu and their people, but tens of thousands of Palestinians, more young than old who are desperate and willing to die .

In Jerusalem, US dignitaries, Trumpistas and evangelical pastors were blessing the transfer of Trump's embassy as " God's work"  So are we to assume and conclude that the cold blooded killing of couple hundred Palestinians and injuring thousands more is God's work as well !!!!

"Traditionally we've tried to play a role of fireman in the M-E. Now we're playing the role of arsonists", said I. Goldenberg, a former State Department and Pentagon official. America should start officially questioning its blind alliance with Zionist Israel and its settlers, and demand instead a foreign policy that serves America's interests .

       

THE GAZA PRISONERS !!!!

With the Gaza massacres taking place simultaneously with the inauguration of the US embassy in Jerusalem, where the death toll has reached over 40, 50, 60, and way over a thousand injured , all within one hour of the ceremony, I would call on our President , his advisers , and the State Department, plus the US Congress and Senate , to immediately put a freeze on the whole embassy affair and demand an immediate stop of the ongoing carnage , and futile massacre of innocent young protesters.

All imprisoned in the largest open air detention camp, since the Nazi Holocaust , all under the worse possible living conditions , and all dehumanized and criminalized for protesting their living conditions, and rights to go back to their original homes. What God would demand such actions ???

Mr. Trump we implore you in the name of decency , to investigate and judge this whole matter, at least take some time to investigate the barbaric mass killings of the innocent kids ! Or is it not in you.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR ???

All parties internationally and domestically are saying in blunt language that Iran is complying with the nuclear program, even our security agencies, they all maintain that thorough inspections by the International Atomic Agency are being regularly conducted . All except Mr. Trump, Mr. Netanyahu, and their immediate oligarchies . So what is the real reason these two men want to go to war with Iran and fuel further destruction of the whole area over a clearly blatant lie and false excuses .

The Neocons and lobbyists for different interests who were interested in invading and destroying Iraq, blamed the whole 9/11 attacks, allegedly executed by Al Qaeda, blamed it all on the secular, socialist leaning and strongly anti-fundamentalist regime and Baath party in Iraq. They managed to convince most Americans and a good chunk of the Western world of the totally ridiculous charges only backed up by lies and intentionally falsified evidences .

These groups designed a complete plan of invasion, regime change and elimination of the whole leadership and the Iraqi army. And later used Iraq's human rights record, its never found arsenal of WMD, to dehumanize the entire population of Iraq and its leadership, while other neighboring countries such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and others had worse profiles and arsenals, and continue to attack and aggress barbarically their own people and their neighbors, while still enjoying a total exemption from any type of condemnation or even simple scrutiny .

Does it all remind us of a deja vu and lived situation that is repeating itself nowadays, almost to the letter in every detail. The Bush entire top oligarchy and administration tried and succeeded in scaring Americans and the world, that Saddam Hussein was only a short time away from having his WMD and nuclear bombs, thus threatening America itself, Europe and his neighbors, all later proven false .

Exactly and to the letter what is being staged in our actual times with Iran and its vassals. Neocons, war machine lobbyists, and others of our never questioned allies lobbyists, didn't learn any lesson of our failure in Iraq, our losses of thousands upon thousands of men and women in uniform, and trillions upon trillions of tax payer's money. What is even more enerving is the fact that the American population or at least some major segments of it are totally taken by the new Israelo/Saudi/Trumpian scheme, repeating verbatim the events of 2002, in Iraq and elsewhere .

The problem with the Trump decision, is not only that he pulled out of a deal that was working, according to everyone except Netanyahu, but having no better alternative or any other realistic policy to replace the existing deal . 

Makers and sellers of different types of missiles, grades of weapons and munitions, bombs and carriers, they never tire from new war games and aggressions, from destructions and invasions, from brutality and death . It's becoming the backbone of many economies, America, Israel and Russia are only few examples from many .

Let's not engage our young boys and girls in a new adventurous and bloody war, for the sake of Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Trump or a Mr. Bolton, or their oligarchies. Nelson Mandela once said ;"May your Choices reflect your hopes not your fears" Why do we insist on sending our kids to sacrifice their lives for special interests, and later wish they rest in peace, why don't we try to live in peace too .....

My many thanks to all .                              

OBVIOUS BROKEN HISTORY ....A BEGINNING .

In the last century, we saw some serious attempts of the world moving toward a more rationally organized bureaucratic societies, trying to eliminate classical class distinctions, and stiff unbalances. The major engines were the industrial capitalism and its corporate world, led by the US and few European countries, and on the other side the state Socialism of the Soviet Union, or what we term as communism.

After one model managed to eliminate the other, we are now witnessing a new bizarre situation of self destruction by the winners themselves, and a creation of a totally estranged new class of politico/industrial wealthy new rulers, against practically everyone else . A class so rich, so cocooned within its own walls, so craving for absolute power and recognition, that makes them look more for revenge than sane governing. They long for God manhood trying to combine divinity, power and wealth. Thinking and behaving in ways to attain wisdom and absolute dominance over the Universal State .

It's up to history and the earth populations to determine if this self created class is the future of humanity and accordingly how to interpret the present and think the lessons of the past . Our modern age, and all its advancements, have in every way progressed way beyond our slower historical past, and is superior to the classical world, whereby our attained wisdom should have the most profound effects on how we think these matters and how we proceed into our future .

The world and especially the Western political experiences of the last few centuries, showed clearly how quick new tyrannies could evolve and establish, even democratically, and most intellectuals of the world failed to recognize these tyrannies for what they were, and in which direction they were taking humanity with them, a true assault on every bit of political, social and moral decency .

We are in our days living an approach to take over completely by the worst tyrannical forms . A state of affair where human beings can be no more, not in the historical sense we know . Becoming less human by abandoning the quest for enlightenment, equality, dignity and moral perfection. A state of affair governed by tyrants who win by dehumanizing the rest , whose suffering does not concern their success in shaping their tactics and strategies.

The fate of losers hold no interest for this class, only winning, and absolute power and wealth is their motto. A new kind of society is in the making with these ugly models all around us, that fit so well with the paranoid style of American politics, Syrian criminality, Israeli hysterical fascism and ugly colonialism, Russian and Turkish modern dictatorships, all theocracies and oligarchies where the political has once again become the personal , transforming their societies as a whole . When we thought that tyranny was a thing of the past, we see it sprouting all over again .

All my thanks to all as usual .
