EUROPE AND THE WORLD AT A TRANSFORMATIONAL PERIOD IN HISTORY? PART 5.

Image
The world is in crisis but scarce are the leaders who are capable and willing to provide it with the leadership the people need to improve their conditions. Macro threatens the Syrian and Russian governments with unilateral military action in Syria, days after becoming President of France.   Whereas, Merkel, correctly, signals to Europe that Europe must become her own master and protector, as she cannot depends on the Americans and British. Navigating our way north of China, and across the vast region of Mongolia, and we are into the regions of the Russian Federation.  A Federation with which the European Union and Nato are at war, albeit, by economic sanctions and political isolation.  A situation which has been brought about by what Russia would consider to be her attempts to safeguards 'her strategic self-interests.'  By relieving Ukraine and, ultimately, Nato, of Crimea, and supporting Ukrainian rebels in the breakaway regions of eastern Ukraine, which are on th

ISLAMIC STATE'S WAR AGAINST THE WORLD - THE NEED FOR A MORE SYSTEMATIC RESPONSE. PART 2.

'A person who does not have positive regard for his/her life, is less likely to have positive regards for the lives of others.' Except for its attacks in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the Philippines and Nigeria and the other countries in the Sahel Region.  We are not talking about hundreds or thousands of IS foot soldiers murdering and debasing thousands of people.  But rather, of small numbers of them secreting themselves amongst ordinary humans and killing and causing them catastrophic injuries, through the use of explosive, vehicular and knife attacks.  We are talking about the disproportionate, even irrational fear which this minority of people can and are causing to the majority of people.  Most probably because, more often than not, because they secrete themselves amongst the majority, and sometimes might not even have joined the SI ranks as yet.   The alarmed majority and the authorities do not really know whom they are.  And, of course, wh

The Mysteriousness Of Ordinary Phenomena!

This video has a certain mysteriousness about it, notwithstanding the fact that the phenomenon which it might appear to be, is really founded on environmental 'normalcy.' Please take a look and contemplate on is presented, with, of course, your particular prism. I hope you will find it somewhat pleasurable.

ISLAMIC STATE'S WAR AGAINST THE WORLD - THE NEED FOR A MORE SYSTEMATIC RESPONSE. PART 1.

'The 'soul' or 'spirit' of humans, is no more than our ergosumness and freedom to act responsibly. Our capacity to think and realise, to the optimum, our potential to evolve from our original state of the 'forced collectivity', to being 'free individuals', who have the human right to freely enter into 'an enlightened collectivity. Without fear of Man or the of any god..' IS, Islamic State, is clearly fighting its war against humanity, from the   zone of darkness , which is symbolised by its black flag.  Adorned with white lettering' apparently declaring that "There is no god but God. Muhammad is his messenger."  To which, Islamic State should have added, " and we are our god's killers and murderers." Which is what they really are.  IS is operating in the 'dark zone, with their black flag denoting imperviousness to 'the light of reason, logic, understanding, tolerance, enlightenment, and

EUROPE AND THE WORLD AT A TRANSFORMATIONAL PERIOD IN HISTORY? PART 4.

The world is in crisis but scarce are the leaders who are capable and willing to provide it with the leadership the people need to improve their conditions. Macro threatens the Syrian and Russian governments with unilateral military action in Syria, days after becoming President of France.   Whereas, Merkel, correctly, signals to Europe that Europe must become her own master and protector, as she cannot depends on the Americans and British. Continuing in the same vein, still travelling eastward, we come across Iran and her people.  A nation which has been in existence long before many, if not all of the nation states of Europe, and definitely before America.  But also a country which the American government has demonised, and is currently conspiring to make war with.  East of Iran we move to Afghanistan, and here, we are confronted with a conflict which began between Afghans. Before it was transformed into something else, something bigger.  Following the intervention by

JUST A THOUGHT - IN CELEBRATION OF MOTHERS' AND FATHER'S' DAY. THE END!

And yet, though it is the case that, when considered on the macro level, there is much which is questionable.   It is not the bigger things in life and living which normally predicate the relationship between a daughter or son and their mothers and fathers.  It is the smaller, the more personal, the touching and feeling things.  It is things such as a mother and father being bonded to their sons and daughters.   And establishing and nurturing a loving and/or loyal relationship between them.  It is about parents having been proactive towards and in their care of their young impressionable and malleable offspring.   And creating and nurturing long lasting moments and times of 'happy memories.'   Of 'doing things together', 'having fun together', and giving rise to a lasting 'feeling of closeness, mutual protectiveness towards' each other.' A relationship which has resulted in parents and their children making a high level of emotion

The scene along the canal, as it is absorbed by the observant eyes of those who are aware of its beauty and take the time to endeavour to be at one with it. Please take and look and a listen, and, should be stirred, do enjoy!

AMERICA'S OCCUPATION OF PARTS OF SYRIA - TERRORISM ON PAR WITH 'ISLAMIC STATE' AND DAESH? THE END.

Image
Ironically, ISIS/Daesh/ISIL's doctrine is also based on the principle of 'might is right', with the silence of god, not affording any challenge to what they say they are doing in his name. Is this, then, to be the new doctrine on which inter-country relationships are to be based?  It might seemed fitting for the all powerful and bullying Americans and their coalition of proxy armies to treat not only the countries.  But the lives of  people of colour, with such dismal disregard for international law and national sovereignty.  But would the Americans behave in such a cavalier manner towards their European counterparts?  Most probably not;' unless the people they are targeting are people of colour.  The American government has had to take note of the BlackLivesMatters movement in America, because it is not so easy to transgress against a people who are amongst you.  But it is much easier for this government to attack Arabs, Africans and Asian people in
