CLEAR SIGNS OF OUR TIMES ......

The West in general , and the U.S. more particularly was always much more interested in building and preserving capitalism , even through brutal regimes and dictatorships , rather than advancing the cause and the drive to secularism and modern societies .


Most Arab Musslems , until lately , were at a cross-road and closer to accepting a fair alliance or cohabitation with secularism and modernity in most of the post WW2  countries , the recent rise of salafism and fanaticism , through groups like AlQaida , ISIS and others , were basically tolerated and often fueled by the West , headed by the U.S. for different reasons , among them few decades back the fight against the great evil ; communist Russia . Lately it was more to suit some Arab Sunni regimes against Shiite Iraq , and Assad of Syria . Not to neglect a clear Israeli influence , meddling and destroying any and every neighboring entity , allowing itself an easier take-over of more territories and wealth for their own hegemonic agendas .


Western imperialism , fueled and backed always by blind capitalism , is being paid back nowadays in grand terms . Their closest allies in the Middle-East ; the Saudi and Gulf states are being denounced daily , and weakening by the year , the West is under a constant terrorist threat that is not relinquishing , but increasing , with no stop in sight . The militarization , radicalization and brain washing of whole segments of Israeli youths , turning them systematically into religious brutal fanatics and racists , as it is happening to a lesser degree in most of the West is frightening .


The Christian West , that did it some 75 years ago to Jews , is being brainwashed to start again against Musslems nowadays , and maybe re-do the same with Jews later down the line when the big less than a century old slogan of Judeo- Christianism falls down . A Frankenstein monster is slowly waking up  in the West , as it surely woke-up in Israel and all its neighbors , and nobody is paying enough attention .


A good advise to the West in general and the U.S. , and mostly applicable to present day Israel , came from Noam Chomsky ; "Every body's worried about stopping terrorism nowadays , well ! there's a really easy and effective way : stop participating in it ."   Montesquieu thought that events were never caused by accidents , whenever a local or worldly state of affairs or regime arise or is destroyed , a cause is always existent which led to this situation or regime destruction .

ADJUSTING TO A NEW TREND ........

Suicide bombers , their explosive belts and detonators , until recently was a reduced and specialized game restricted to few areas and cities of our troubled world . Afghanistan and Iraq were the two mostly hit by this type of modern day deadly kamikazing . From  these two areas , the whole game  is now spreading exponentially to practically cover every part of the world .


Under different shapes and motives ; Syria , Lebanon , Libya , Yemen , Somalia , Thailand , France as well as many European cities , Russia and of course the U.S. were all hit in the past two decades . It is spreading further and faster with enhanced techniques of mass destruction and blind indiscriminate killing , at the hands of various fanatical sick people , and for various different motives and goals .


Of course the most spread model nowadays , are the jihadi Islamists of Al Qaida , ISIS and similar types of ultra fanatical Sunni and Shiite  groups and parties , with a different intensity depending on actual political/religious circumstances . But as we witnessed in the U.S. , Europe and Scandinavia , the trend and motives of other types of mass killers , could be very different from Islamic motives and goals , albeit they all share a certain degree of religiosity .


The Middle-East in its entirety seems nowadays destined to experiment with a multitude of historic and modern times experiences simultaneously ; from old dreams of hegemonic empires , to holy wars , foreign invasions and domination , colonialism and manipulation . Creating and enhancing a total sectarian conflict , where all are against all , fueling ethnic fervor and religious backed legal terrorism and killings. Israeli terrorism back then and under its modern forms was for a long time and still is a good model to look forward to by many aspiring sick terrorists .


The world populations are still in denial , refusing to accept that this trend is here to stay , be with us and be part of our lives , even prosper with coming generations , as it is the weapon of choice of the poorer majority and psychopathic religious minds , a very efficient use of weaponry , serving grandiose godly slogans , dreams and covenants. The world invariably is going to witness more Islamic barbarism and brutality as a result of so many brain washed young musslems , spread all over the continents . Other young fanatics of other religions and races are not in short numbers either .


No matter what we do from now on , (short of seriously solving conflicts all over , and by force when necessary)  will be efficient and capable of stopping mass terrorism and suicidal youth from blowing themselves and many others willingly , unfortunately it's a trend of our times and futures .


Yes , we all strongly agree that what happened in Paris on Friday the 13th was tragic and painful , but compare it to events in Syria , Iraq , Palestine , Yemen and Lebanon , then Paris sounds less tragic , it's all relative isn't it !!!


All my usual thanks for your patience , and help spreading the word .









   

KILLER WAVES .......

 Observing nowadays one of  modern times biggest tragedies ; the waves of immigrants of all ages , genders and different religious and ethnic backgrounds , mostly from Syria , as well as Iraq , Afghanistan , Africa and other unfortunate regions of our planet . One cannot but ponder while looking at these sad pictures and documentary clips , all over the international media .


5 years down the line in Syria , and since the absurd invasion of Iraq , men and women , especially kids and infants , would at the early stages of their conflicts fight and suffer in order not to die . Now they suffer and fight in order to live .


There is a huge difference between fighting to avoid death , and fighting to cling to life , to quote Malaparte's  words ; men  who fight to avoid death preserve their dignities and pride , men women and children fighting  in order to live hang to what remains to human life with tenacity of total desperation . At start men would fight to save their pride , freedom of conscience and dignity , later in the game , fleeing men have to fight in order to live , It's a humiliating  necessity and condition for preserving life and only to  save one's skin .


Observing the barbaric wars in Syria , Iraq , Yemen and Israel/Palestine , where civilization totally gave way , where what's left are only hungry animals , ready and willing to do anything to go on living their way .


For some in those lands , their Islamic faith , based on a total acceptance of godly providence , makes it easier to endure and go on living , accepting god's will and his wrath upon their lives . for Israelites religion renders them immune to conscience and morality questioning , for war lords on all sides , their brutality , blood-thirst and hegemonic ambitions form the supreme aesthetic experience .


Nothing makes men so mutually hostile , so barbaric in their acts , as the violence of civil religious wars . Their most primitive animalistic  impulses return to surface and all their inhibitions disappear .  Their savagery , totally eclipse the civilized , only the human animal remains , forever at war with itself and everything around it .


A better , higher and nobler order of reality must exist , for the survival of the human race on earth . We cannot , and should never accept that geopolitical chaos might be the rule , nor the finality , the world has to be a politically rational place to survive and strive . The whole of the Middle-East must sooner than later reach an equilibrium , even if it means seeking its order in diversity , or else it will be in a constant state of warfare .


The very young Syrian child or toddler , clinging to his mother's robe in an over crowded dinghy , facing killer waves , large at sea , as is the infant in an under occupation West Bank alley , only longs for some freedom , freedom from vicious inhuman situations , hunger , and a lack of livable future ,  while thinking to itself that humans are incurably irrational , ruthless and incorrigible .


My as always , many thanks for reading and sharing my words and thoughts .
