OUR TIMES , OUR WORLD .....


Theocracy, apartheid, and authoritarian neo-colonial regimes are now thriving, and are not anymore condemnable or challenged . As a result of our actions and reactions, real meaningful democracies are definitely regressing and in retreat, whether in the Western world in general, America,  around all of the Middle-East or in any other spot of the world .

Where are all these modern leaders, in the US and abroad, our so called allies or enemies, from theocracies to dictators, neocons authoritarian or neocolonialists and fascists,  where are all from the words of Isaiah ; " Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims, laws that make misery for the poor, that rob the destitute of their dignity, exploiting defenseless widows, taking advantage of homeless children". (IS-10:1-4), what is happening right now in many spots of the world at the hands of cruel and selfish leaders, bloody leaders, matters for the soul of the entire world , and for many years to come .

As has been made clear by his actions repeatedly, whether internally or in foreign policies, our current president lately proves more than ever, that he believes he is special, he is free to obstruct justice when he deems it necessary, he can lie without consequences, he does not need to worry about potential controversial consequences .

In medicine, as in real life, mental impairment, is considered as serious as physical impairment . Simply put, as a president Mr. Trump shows all the signs that raise red flags ; Verbal aggressiveness, boasting about sexual assaults, accusing others of cheap sexual behaviors, inciting violence in others, a clear attraction to violence and weapons, he is impulsive, he wouldn't hesitate using nuclear power or pushing doomsday buttons in many hostile or not so hostile instances .

He is reckless, paranoiac, he has poor understanding of consequences and looses grip on reality, he lacks empathy and compassion toward others, individuals or human groups, he is constantly in a rage mood and needs to demonstrate power constantly. He lives in his own world of apartheid, and tries to implement it and encourage it with sick allies who still listen to him or feel he's doing them favors .

One way or another, the consequences of Mr. Trump's presidency are affecting pretty much all of us, Americans and from across the world, it will take many years to erase these, and recover from his acts of folly . If the aberration of the past 70 years of hegemony, colonialism, apartheid and vulgar open theft, are to be stopped anytime through this century, the whole world and its political leadership will have to exercise a lot more compassion, care and attention, so as to curb the arrogance and falsehood and abhorrent aberrant distortions of many political claims .

My, as always, profound thanks for your time .
