A DEAL IS COMING SOON TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU ....


No one knows for sure yet what the particulars of the so called "Deal of the century" are all about!!  but the word deal itself as opposed to solution has enough insinuations. As long as it's not totally supporting the Israeli colonial hegemony at the expense of the Palestinian obliteration and annihilation.

A society dominated by runaway hegemony, brutality and perpetual arrogant theft, using any means possible to thrive including murder, apartheid, imprisonment and torture, is a sick and inhuman society, living strictly within their own little dreams and barbaric fantasies. Humans after all, are distinguished from other animals by the capacity for some morality, compassion and an acceptance of the other as part of a common human race.

To subordinate others by conceited superiority, and arrogant savage brutality, and live a continual dream of hegemony and imperialism linking them all to daily political and economical fascist tactics is therefore an abdication of humanity. Reducing humanity as far as its collective being is concerned to pure bestiality.

Israel, blindly backed by the actual American administration, its politicians and lobbyists is on a sure path of totally dehumanizing its local Palestinian population in its entirety, and kicking them out of their remaining bits of land in the West-Bank, Gaza and the Israeli interior. If they resist they simply would be eliminated ...  Mr. Trump is calling it the "deal of the century." The whole world is watching, and whole populations are indignant, but tragically it all stops there.

A day, and sooner than later, will come when humanity will realize its complicity in this new holocaust, a by far worse holocaust than all its predecessors, as the last one was perpetuated by a party of brainwashed fanatics in Germany, calling themselves Aryan Nazis, and the whole population later regretted their actions.

But here we have a complete country belonging strictly to one religion, and backed up by the most powerful modern super-power on earth, with its crazy notions of justice and injustice. We will all be accomplices to a first degree deliberate, willful and premeditated murder, of a whole population that committed no crime of their own except being born and raised in those lands.

The Nazi Holocaust will be a decimal affair compared to our actual heinous complicity in the modern and cold blooded extermination of an entire population. No matter to what ideology we belong , no matter to what political camp or side we adhere, we all have to realize and admit in our 21st century historical moments, that Palestinians are human beings after all, and not sub-humans, animals or even some sort of cancerous decease, as they're constantly being referred to in Israel.

It is sad to have to say this in our day and age, the entire world has not yet reacted in any comprehensive way to the dehumanizing of all Palestinians. To the brutality and mass killings of Palestinians, to the full apartheid treatment of Palestinians, to the systemic imprisonment and torture of Palestinian youths. Worse than any genocide perpetrated throughout history .

As always my thanks to all .

COMMON SENSE .... AN APPROACH TO SURVIVAL


Over the past few days, Mr. Trump alienated allies and cut a deal with a brutal dictator, calling our closest allies "dishonest and liars" and the dictator "Honest, direct and productive" even a great friend. Mr. Trump's story and patterns in life, and more so his election campaign and presidency, all revolve around these principles.

At the news conference in Singapore he was asked ;"What do you say to America's allies that worry you are jeopardizing our long time alliances and worry you are treating our historic friends as enemies and our enemies as friends ??  "That's a very fair question." was his answer .

In the past, crusading, exhibiting and demanding Democracy as we understand it in the West, and more particularly in America, was totally failing common sense, free elections as we so often demanded have produced groups and regimes that did not necessarily suit our agendas and are not to our liking. Iran and Israel two extremes, both very dangerous to world stability and the M-E region, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, lately Muqtada Al-Sadr in Iraq, and many other nationalists and populists from Asia to the Mediterranean to Europe not to forget our own bizarre turn of political event with our last election .

Patrick Buchanan asks a very valid question, "Defeating fascism and Nazism was a cause for America, defending the West against communism was a cause, but what cause now unites Americans". Is it ushering all Jews in Israel, as the Christian Evangelists want to enhance their Armageddon, it's certainly not Christianizing the world, as Russia and the East Europeans are beating us into the Christian mood. The Israeli Neocons and Orthodox fanatics have their own hegemonic and imperialist political agendas, and defeating Islam is not really a priority for most Americans.

Finally we seem to be more at ease with dictators and oligarchs than traditional allies, so what is our real cause nowadays ?? and what unite Americans for the coming years ??  Many people in today's world call for a new moral based society, a new foundation of ethics, more social and equitable distributions, they don't mean new inventions or higher technologies, but for the development of man's higher faculties and their application in our daily lives.

We humans should at all cost keep striving to rise continually to our higher potentialities, or risk falling away from them as is clearly the case all over the Middle-East and many parts of the world, our self-awareness of our higher faculties and the cultivating of them is primordial to our survival as humans in this more complex material world of our creation .

" What kind of a nation wants to be associated with mass murder of innocent men and women and children ?" The US president asked during one of his political rallies, he did not specify which country he meant exactly, Syria or Israel or both, he left it to us to deduce .

We have to stop collective barbarism in all its forms, be it in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen or Israel, just to name a few, can we rely on the hope that a turning around will be accomplished by enough people, and quick enough to save the modern world and humanity itself !!!

My usual many thanks for every one's time .

THE NOTORIOUS NRA ....


It's another week and yet another school shooting, the National Rifle Association (NRA) an association or grouping of different individuals, with the principal cause of defending their rights to bear arms , any kind of arms . They have with time evolved into high degrees of efficiency in lobbying and perfecting the art of buying politicians from both parties, albeit more so from Republicans lately .

They have gained with time more power, and their ideas have spread, manipulating the rights of owning defence guns, into owning any piece or arsenal of weaponry, including powerful warlike machine-guns equipped with powerful gadgets. They have penetrated the psych of its members, even the ordinary and non aggressive ones, who are being brainwashed to adopt the more persuasive argumentation and turning them more fanatical about the whole issue of simply owning a defensive gun.

So it's really, the association that evolved with time, and not necessarily the individual member/owner, creating a super charged individuality against any type of defenseless moral community or societal well-being. In a nutshell this organisation has turned itself into an existence of primarily achieving together what its individual members cannot achieve, it is nowadays binding and blinding its members and the population at large.

Approximately 10,000 people are killed yearly from guns in the US, mass shootings have exceeded 22 shootings in schools for the 2018 year alone. And we're not at half year yet, no one can deny the reality that we're living an epidemic of slain students and civilians and traumatized survivors . The NRA still finds excuses and old rhetoric to influence and maintain their legitimacy in the God given right to own and use a gun country.

Any other country in the world with such a record of violence, and loose gun control would be labeled and declared dangerous, crazy and terrorist, invoking travel bans, advisories and heavy warnings, from our own State Department .       

Despite all gun violence and the epidemic of school shootings around the country at an alarming rate and although two thirds of Americans want stricter gun control, knowing very well that only two major sides or groups are to blame, the NRA, and the politicians caught in its thrall.

My usual appreciation for your time spreading the blog .
