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 .                          

RECKLESS AND FLAWED REASONING ......

Back in time during the G.W. Bush era, when the invasion of many countries were staged, and we ended up in Afghanistan, a short time later in Iraq, later Libya, and now Syria, while the Palestinian saga continues with full blast, back then president Bush top adviser told journalists how his people had no time for "What we call the reality-based community, in which people believe the solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality" Rather "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality, and while you're studying that reality judiciously, we'll act again, creating another reality and new realities, which you will study as well, and that's how things will sort out in the future." 

This same attitude is adopted and enforced, it continues with our actual administration, the mentality of imperial reality-eroding, and anti-rational discourse forced upon the public . This anti-rational reasoning is being used to further divide the country, and render any discussion between its intellectuals and its rural population, mostly white Christianized people, quiet impossible. As one side aspires to a great and gone past, and the other to a present leading to a different and better future. 

The same goes in many places of the world, Russia, Turkey, all theocracies and surely Israel, they are all living the same majore divide of rational reasoning . Objective reasoning and governing must be interest-free, and neutral, not serving any particular interests, values and desires of the living self proclaimed  emperors .

Actually in America both parties reps and legislators, have been approving openly, and with great largess, the administration's every demand for funding any and all military new adventures, plus our few allies crazy colonial adventures, while both sides of the isle keep hinting and denouncing the president and his administration as very dangerous and aimless. 

Our inhabited world is becoming more coherent, and unified than at any time historically, it shouldn't be allowed to attempt destroying it for the sake of some pseudo-imperial dreams, imperialism or colonialism, or some stupid feelings of superiority, and definitely not for the sake of any one religion or race or nationality .

My usual many thanks to all .                        

IRRATIONAL DUPLICITY OR HYPOCRISY .....

Indeed is it an irrational duplicity and blatant hypocrisy or an American case of pragmatism and ingenuity . While the US is totally backing the Israeli hegemony, and its military snipers, shooting down innocent unarmed Palestinian civilians, protesting the illegal occupation, the mass deportations and the dehumanizing of millions incarcerated in their concentration camps, while the Israeli snipers arrogantly are posting videos celebrating their cold blooded sniping and murdering spree .

Senior US politicians, prominent commentators, and mainstream media are all condemning in all words the alleged chemical attacks in Syria, but not so when it's Israel doing the killings by professional snipers against fenced in population .

Russia with its unwavering support for the Assad regime , ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal attacks, targeting countless civilians, and the suffocating of Syria's most vulnerable communities with chemical weapons, said State Department spokesperson Nauert. The president called Assad an animal, and heavily blamed Russia and Iran, for supporting Assad's aggressions. All possibly correct accusations leading to justified reactions from America and few of our Western allies, if the barbary is proven correct .

But no one questioned, accused or condemned and threatened any actions as to Israel's brutal, even barbaric behavior toward all Palestinian citizens of the land . And lately Ghazans being sniped in total cold blood, for their peaceful protests behind their imprisonment fence, most killed were young men and kids, women and well marked journalists. The toll of killed and injured is far greater on the Ghaza strip than it is in the alleged chemical areas of Easter Ghouta, the siege of Ghaza and all under occupation towns and villages are far more brutal and inhumane than the East of Damascus scene. In America, our politicians and media, not only refuse to condemn Israel, we punish those who do !!!

Our great Ambassador to the UN, even blocked several attempts to investigate the killings by Israeli army snipers of innocent civilians in Ghaza. While the White House is busy elevating John Bolton to the highest post advising the president, and our esteemed ambassador to Israel is donating big money to illegal settlers building their futures on stolen lands, whom original owners will surely be pushed into some sort of new Ghaza concentration camp. This duplicity, double standards, of ours in dealing with two adjacent countries is appalling to say the least.

The State Department meanwhile, issued a very strong critique of Russia in a statement after the alleged chemical attacks, accusing it of "Breaching its commitments to the United Nations" and called into question Russia's commitment to resolve the overall crisis in Syria and the area. Seriously !! who's kidding who ?? we're blaming Russia for something we've been blatantly doing for over 50 years, and continue doing on daily basis, covering for Israel's aggressions and unparalleled brutality, theft, annexation of lands, colonization, apartheid, annihilation and dehumanization of an entire population .

Practically every politician, lobbyist and war machine advocate--with the exception of Bernie Sanders,who just today was questioning Israel's policy and ours toward israel,  they all have been pushing and demanding harsh measures against the Syrian army and Russia, not one word was uttered for the by now third week of brutal killings and coldblooded sniping by army professionals against unarmed civilians.

No one could question that Mr. Assad , ought to be held fully accountable for his war crimes against his people in Syria . But to overlook and keep total silence as to what is happening across the border in Israel is equally a war crime. The problem of pro Israeli politicians in the US , the lobbies behind them, and the newly awakened fervor of literal Evangelists, is always between their Americanism, the American people and their interests and welfare, versus Israeli hegemonic interests and policies, they don't always coincide, and it creates big problems for America .

My many thanks to you all .                      

HYPOCRISY AT ITS BEST .......

I sometimes seriously wonder, what is the real logic behind the huge radical fight against woman's freedom of choice and abortion in general , even with a fetus 3 to 4 weeks old, is it just respecting the supposed will of God or a facade,  while keeping a closed eye about the cold blooded mass killings at schools left and right in the US. the killings of black youths, Muslims and Jews, Arabs and Latinos, as well as anyone from different minorities. And the annihilation of entire populations all over.  Is it really to satisfy the will of God and our conscience ? and nothing else !!!

If so , Maybe America should honestly play it differently, and forbid any type of abortion , at any stage , for white Christian Evangelicals , and other extreme right blue eyed blonds, thus totally pleasing our politicians, clergy, and good old white second amendment's fanatics. And only allow abortion to others , to all unimportant humans and races mentioned earlier, if they so choose , and strive to decrease their numbers in existence. We should call it "The good riddance plan."

I've just read today in the international press, about Mr. Netanyahu's alleged comments to the germans and Italians, and both vehemently denying such requests,  about receiving the unwanted African asylum seekers in Israel, as does Mr. Trump every morning tweeting about his different controversial issues, and blasting all media that doesn't start with an F.,  who among the two is the better creator of fake news , while they both pretend to believe that whatever they utter is the truth , I wonder !!.

Back in 1925, in America, a popular song verse initially for the KKK , went like this ;
I would rather be a Klansman
In a robe of snowy white,
Than to be a Catholic priest
In a robe as black as night
For a Klansman is American
And America is his home
But a priest owes his allegiance
To a Dago Pope in Rome .
It comes handy after the latest great speech by the Pope for Easter, and the rhetoric of our, Evangelical pleasing , oligarchy in Washington nowadays .
Let's not reenact this mentality and fanaticism, as it will only and strictly weaken and dehumanise America .

It's honestly sad to see, in our times politicians and preachers alike, using constantly Christian rhetorics, and the rather newly invented Judeo/Christian phraseology, verbs and acts, to enforce some narrow concepts of nationalism and phobias, and a white only Christian Evangelical visions of supremacy in America and the world .

In the 2016 presidential elections, approximately 78% of the white Evangelical voted for Mr. Trump, today the numbers of his supporters from the same group are slightly below . For many white Evangelical Americans, and especially their leaders, faith didn't moderate their drive to hold onto political supremacy over all others, and maintain control by any means necessary, and that suits Mr. Trump perfectly. As well as the U.S. and international Zionist NeoCons .

As always my profound gratitude for your time .         


         

THE LUCRATIVE BUSINESS OF SUING FOR REPARATION ....

After ww2, Germany paid the equivalent of many billions of Dollars in reparation for the Holocaust, both to few individuals and mostly to the state of Israel . Japan has been more reluctant to admit its war crimes and atrocities for all the period between 1930 and 40 , where thousands upon thousands of mostly Korean and other nearby nationalities were forced  into prostitution in specialized brothels for their invading soldiers .

Turkey is another example, in denying even refusing to talk about its genocide against millions of Armenians who were living in the Ottoman empire, mostly as well to escape possible compensations to their descendants nowadays .

Australia is still debating their obligations to the Aboriginal people, where between 1910 to the seventies, Aboriginal children of mixed races were forced to separate from their parents and placed strictly in white only foster homes, all in an effort to blend the children to a white society, and speed up the elimination of Aboriginal culture and trace. Only lately has some officials acknowledged the grievances of generations of Aborigines young children .

Many parts of the world struggle with similar issues, and mostly the reparation's coasts as well as their moral issues . America for one has some serious issues and they're still being debated ranging from the native Indian American population and their fate, to the enslaved black population and its policies for long generations, to its incarceration of its Japanese citizenry during ww2 .

There are arguments for and against the whole reparation and apologizing arguments, mostly by parties inclined to benefit or loose ; " people in present generations should not or could not be held responsible for wrongs committed by previous generations." To admit guilt for an injustice and take responsibility for it is after all to be part of it . One shouldn't pay reparation or be the guilty party for something he didn't do or was done before he or she was born .   

Recently it was rumored that thousands of NY families of the 9/11 victims were to sue the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as some of its young individuals alleged participation and financing of the whole terrorist act. It's to be enforced in the US where the Kingdom assets could be easily attained and confiscated if the courts approves it , we didn't hear about this case as I suspect it wasn't in the Israeli interest to open the case again, nor our actual political branch approved its consequences.

I'm citing this case to raise serious questions about the whole issue of reparation for grave injustices , could Palestinians for example raise a case in American courts against Israel, or Israeli citizens or even against Jewish people, and ask for serious reparation, both morally and monetarily for the Zionist's acts in their under occupation territories, for their killed youths everyday, for their apartheid and organized theft, dehumanization and annihilation of the indigenous population of the land .

Could Syrians of all walks of life ask the Russians, Turks, Americans and Israelis for reparation payments for their tragic situation?? Could Chilean, Iraqi or Iranian peoples ask for similar reparation for suffering years of blatant punishments or CIA interference and regime change and invasions of their countries . Maybe only the Zionists new how and managed to coerce the entire world and continue doing so for huge reparation benefits, obliging the world to shut its eyes of Israel's own injustices, will they ever accept to treat their own victims in the same spirit ??

My gratitude for every one's time and perseverance in following the blog .                            

POPULISM AND FASCISM ..... ALIVE AND WELL ....

Populism , another name for fascism , in the West is generally well and making its come-back , and will continue to strive for some time , it is taking uglier, even some very bad shapes in some societies like Israel and to a lesser extent the U.S. , as people in power and elites are failing to respond properly and in time to changing circumstances within their respective societies. They would invariably focus solely on their own private interests and fantasies, thus real liberal democracies turn into their opposite, and get deprived of the true spirit and meaning of democracy .

Changing the traditions of enlightenment, human progress, the natural goodness of man, rationality and social values into out worst irrational sentiments, hatred of the other, xenophobia, fear, and lust for power. These feelings and acts which appear and solidify in the name of freedom and democracy, turn as the perfect instrument to kill freedom and destroy democracy. It only proves the stupid, pathetic and frustrated side of any society .

Imperialism, fascism and colonialism are hidden aspects of all of us, it surfaced and thrived decades ago in many societies, and it is doing so again in many 21st century societies. Instead of transcending ourselves, living in truth and compassion, honoring the freedom and dignity of all human beings, living in harmony in a transglobal future, we revert back to some of the ugliest tactics and forms of colonialism, to apartheid and brutality, to regime change and annihilations and dehumanisation of entire populations .

Although some taboo words have become so un-American and un-Western decades after our worst years of colonial hegemony and various atrocities, words like fascist, imperialist, communist, and colonialist, homophobic and apartheid are all being reenacted proudly in our new century, we'd have to admit that such words and concepts are becoming active again and spreading in our social body .

What a huge difference between Sweden, Germany, most Nordic European societies and Canada, struggling to incorporate and absorb immigrants of miserable spots of the world versus Israel that is striving to dehumanize and annihilate a whole indigenous population to settle some of its people in these stolen lands . And kicking out their immigrants of colour ( African black immigrants).

American recent history in the Middle-East , under the influence of Israeli hegemonic interests did a lot of flip-flopping, from Nasser who was the ugly guy by excellence, then slightly a better person and finally brought down as the super villain. The Shah of Iran, Mossadegh and Khomeini in Paris, were all alternating between good and bad, depending on the moment . Hafez El-Assad and later his son Bashar were both at certain times super-statesmen and later turned into super terrorists when not very convenient to our or Israel's general schemes .

Saddam of Iraq was our beloved man invading Iran in 1980, but not quiet so invading Kuwait in 1990,  Gaddafi of Libya was our and Britain's darling for taking over from the previous Libyan king, we even warned and saved him from a coup in his country, but then coldly delivered him to his own mob who lynched him, and yes the famous Palestinian leader Arafat who was the despised terrorist while in Lebanon, tolerated while in Tunis, turned into a hero statesman while shaking Clinton's and Rabin's hands, then cherished while in his big prison in the occupied territories, until out of use and miserably disposed of .

I'm not going to mention our good deeds toward all elected or not Latin American leaders. The truth is , as Robert Fisk said, " We can not just tell who our friends are anymore these days". The Saudi king to be is coming to Washington sometimes next week , I expect big money , big friendships, and big shifts in M-E and Palestinian policies will be announced . While we're actively preparing with our Israeli friends for a new war against Syria, the south and entirety of Lebanon, and Iran , another one with North Korea, our partners and friends and State Department dignitaries are changing rapidly .
My many thanks as usual for listening .                        

FILTERED NEWS .....

As reported by Haaretz , a leading newspaper in Israel , that the Israeli cabinet ministers are pushing a bill baring Palestinians from petitioning the high-court in some cases. This and other similar procedures and laws, are all in line with a systematic campaign of abuse against the local Palestinians, be it Christians or Musslems, inspired and compared to anti Jewish laws issued in Nazi Germany .

Another related example was the imposition by the Israeli gov. of various restrictions on the bank accounts of Evangelical, Armenian and Roman churchs, on the grounds of non-payments of property taxes. All resulted in the closure of the Church of the holy Sepulcher, a major Christian place of worship in Jerusalem's old city, Christians revere it as the site where Jesus was crucified, and where his tomb is located, and the following resurrection .

The church's closure by all Christian clerical councils in occupied Jerusalem, in protest of Israeli tactics, to tax the church's properties, and widely seen as a sure path to weaken Christian presence in the divided city. The closure lasted three days and it could have gone for longer time, if Israel didn't back-track on its decision to tax the churches properties. The whole episode took the entire world by surprise and awe, the whole world but the US, the US media, nor any US politician, the white house or the administration, none of them uttered one word about the whole episode, even our ambassador to Israel was so very busy preparing for his soon to come move from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem, and help finance new illegal settlements, instead of advising the State-Department.

What's interesting, as it seems to be of no or very little interest to the US media, no major newspaper nor any TV network or their affiliates and talk shows, not even Fox news, no White House comment or release, no one literally seemed to consider the news worthy of their time or of any interest to the American public. While any wink of some NRA spokesperson, or any of Netanyahu aids, even our good old Monica Lewinsky, would immediately make first page and headline news.

I always took it for granted that the American Evangelical church was blindly backing Israel's Neo Cons politicians, and vulgar tactics and policies, so why are the media and politicians ignoring and not mentioning such Christian related material, even if not very convenient to Israeli tactics. Anything would go but not the Holly Sepulcher.....  Something is very wrong .

According to a statement by the combined religious authorities of the city, and the Palestinian Authority, these new legislations which could be legalized very soon, are nothing but a facade to further confiscation of Palestinian properties and commercial localities owned by Christian Palestinians in Jerusalem, and other Palestinians in different under occupation areas. Against every decent consideration or international law .

IN life, humans should not be both animals and persons, Kant tells us that human beings are always to be treated as ends, and never as means only; in other words, their freedom, rights and dignities, are to be respected. It seems that the entire Middle-East unqualify perfectly, its religiosity from all sides prevent these basic rules . These societies are becoming experts at applying tactics that resembles the scraping of the row oyster from its shell, and stinging its wounds with lemon juice before swallowing them .

In our last few decades, some political experiments, like the Fascist, communist or Nazi ones, the multitude of devastating wars, the fiction works of Orwell, Huxley and others, should have been enough warnings to all human beings in how to treat each other, and how not to depersonalize individuals or whole populations, in fact just the Nazi Holocaust of the Jews by itself should have given the pseudo Muslim hordes, the Syrian regime and the Israeli apartheidchick Zionists enough to seriously rethink their acts and purposes . 
My as always profound thanks for your time .
