This is a short video of a beautiful and short flight of a Crow. Please take a look, and, if you are at one with me that it is indeed a beautiful flight, do enjoy!

JUST A THOUGHT - HAS ANYBODY SEEN OR HEARD OF FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA? THE END!

Image
Barak Obama, if he is and was committed to the Acts and policies which has become his legacy, as a President of the United States of America.  If he believes in the Affordable Care Act. If he believes in the Iran/West/Russian Nuclear Agreement.  If he believes in the ending of America' trade embargo on Cuba. If he believes in the policies his former Administration has taken to help protect the environment from persistent and mutually destructive attacks by humans.  Then, it is more than time for Barak Obama to regain his eloquent voice, and make himself be seen, making some loud noises about the shit which is now taking and is likely to be taking place in Washington and America. It is very clear that Donald Trump and his Republicons have no intention of 'draining the miasmic swamp' in Washington. How could they?  When such an action would bring about their own deaths, as they also feed on it and cannot survive without it.  Their intention is to make

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - IF MEN WERE TO STOP WOMEN LEADING THE WORLD! PART 4.

Image
And what is this perceived 'normal' 'state' of womanhood, as defined and legitimised by Man? Arguably this.  That woman be the bearer and carer of his children. That she be the bearer of water and tiller of fields.  Be his comforter and the object of his desire. That she be his house-servant and his source of cheap labour.  All while Elite Man is free to fuck up the world and ensure that women remain his bonded servant. Of course, if this is the 'natural station' of women, and they have come to accept it as such.  That it is not given to them to seek after of attain this 'freedom' of which Man speaks so relentlessly and seems to hold in such high regard. Then, might it not be, well, alright, be acceptable?  After all, is it not the case that 'injustice' and 'a state of unfreeness' only exists where those who are perceived as existing in such states, perceive themselves as being subjected to them?  Can a woma

JUST A THOUGHT - HAS ANYBODY SEEN OR HEARD OF FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA? PART 1.

As Donald Trump and his Republicons gain some traction in their attempts to repeal America's Affordable Care Act, there is concern about the absence of the Act's figurehead architect. So, hey, man, what's been going on? Has anybody seen or heard of former President Barak Obama?  How loud is his absence, in this most desperate of times when the Republicons launch yet another vociferous and intense attack on the Affordable Care Act?  I deliberately call it by its proper name, as I am only too aware that, one of the main reason why the Republicons - and yes, I can spell, but I deliberately refer to the Republicans as 'cons' -  want to get rid of the act.  Is because of the ACA, association with a Black, now former President, who they hated because he was Black. So, why are we not hearing from the FPOTUS? Is it that Barak Obama does not think that the ACA is worthy of being protected from the destructive intent of the baying Republicons?  That the m

FRENCH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - FRANCE DECIDES! THE END!

And what of Macron's approach?  Well, it would appear that Macron might be seeing himself as being somewhat of an imperial figure.  Who, if, as is expected, were to become the President of France, is probably likely to attempt to be autocratic in his his rule.  In his endeavour to probably be 21st Century Napoleon, De Gaulle, or Francois Hollande 2.0. Macron is more than likely to steer the SS France in her current Hollandist direction.  He is likely continue with Hollande's France, probably both in national as well as international policies.  Macron appears to be as anti-Russia and anti-Assad as Hollande and his Foreign Ministers have been.  So we can probably expect to see little rapprochement between France and Russia, should Macron wins the Presidency.  Under Macron, France might continue, if not increase her military interventions abroad. Unless he has to change course due to force of circumstances.  For example, if Germany and/or America were to

JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON BEING PATIENT. PART 1.

Image
Patience is a virtue, he said, she said. Yes, patience is a veritable virtue.  But what is it which makes patience such a virtue, that it should, at some time or other, be on the lips of all men and women. Who seek to present themselves as being imbued with true wisdom, veritable prudence, as it were. How can it be, we might enquire, that patience can or could be such a virtue.  When contemporary humans, especially those of us who are living in the technologically advanced societies, are constantly being judged by our speed?  By how fast and how quickly we are able to do the things we have to do?  To make the products we have to make, and extract the resources we have to extract from mother earth? From our environment?   To earn the wage we must earn to make and buy our daily bread and essential wherewithal?  How, indeed, can patience be such a virtue, when it means not hurrying, not rushing but waiting, taking a bit more time?  How can it be, when we are

FRENCH PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION - FRANCE DECIDES! PART 1.

Image
Let the people of France bask in the euphoric expectation, the anticipation of the next President of the French Republic!  Let Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron and their supporters, from their and the defeated parties, which are now offering them their qualified and unqualified tactical support, prepare themselves for that fateful day of 7th May 2017.  When all will become clear as to who is to be the next President of France. When we shall see whether Macron, the apparent heir to the Throne, will be confirmed as such.   Or whether it will be the once feared Marine Le Pen, who will have caused an unexpected upset.  Except for the pundits who believe that the politics of the west, if not of the world in general, has become 'revolutionised,' or radically different from what it has previously been. Both the contenders, Macron and Le Pen, have their weaknesses and their strengths. Their desirable policies and their undesirable ones, in the eyes of the differ

HAMAS' 'CONCESSION' TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL - A SMALL BUT BIG STEP FORWARD? THE END!

Image
Viewed in this context, the recent 'reformist' policy statement by Hamas, that it is no longer advocating the destruction of the State of Israel, but still opposes its right to exist, can be seen as a small but big step forward.  But it needs to make many more 'small big steps', if it is realise aspiration of the Palestinian people for an independent and viable State.  Not in 500 years time, but within the next 20-25 years. Of course, Hamas' reluctance to change, as opposed to continuing to get everything and everybody else to change.  In its failed attempt to achieve its objectives, is reflected in its pointless retention of its non-policy of 'not accepting Israel's right to exist.'  After all, what advantage does such as imbicilic 'pon-policy' confers onto Hamas and/or the Palestinians?  Yes, none. It does not matter whether or not Hamas 'accepts' Israel's right to exist.  The fact is that Israel EXISTs.   And neithe
