JUST A THOUGHT - ON VENEZUELA AND THE CURSE OF NICOLAS MADURO! THE END ...

Image
Like the parasite they are, they are only motivated by their own need to survive, and are incapable of becoming aware of the suffering of the people.   And of the fact that, the survival of the people and the nation of Venezuela, can only take place after their removal from power. From eating the body and soul of the nation. And so it is, that the only 'revolutionary' thing that President Nicolas Maduro and his government can do for the people of Venezuela.   If they believe that they are worthy of their sacrifice, is to remove himself and his government from power.  From being a millstone around their necks. From trampling them as is they and their lives are worthless.  And this, he should do without anymore delay, as the damage he has caused is already extremely grievous, and probably irreparable, in some cases. But, of course, Nicolas Maduro and his government might well choose not to do something, probably the most significant thing which would b

Has done more harm to the country and its people than probably any of its other enemies could possibly have done.  Put bluntly, President Nicolas Madura and his government have been the greatest enemies of the Venezuelan people.  The greatest destroyer of the nation's wealth and developmental potential and prospects.  This despotic man and his regime are like a malignant cancer in both the body and soul of Venezuela.  Like a rottweiler, a crocodile, he and his government hold on to power and refuse to let go.  Even as the country moves to the point of death. With millions of its citizens, both former supporters and opponents of the regime.  Formerly rich, as well a poor Venezuelans, are forced to seek refuge and survival in neighbouring countries. Nicolas Maduro and his government are committing egregious crimes against the people of Venezuela, for no other reason than that they want to keep power for themselves.  To misuse it for themselves,

The British people are, it seems, resolved to sacrifice their current known state of being.  With both its advantages and disadvantages, since all things are with both, and secede from the European Union.  In the belief that the United Kingdom and its citizens will then be able to find and become eligible for entering the kingdom of Nervana.  Of the City of Gold. That they will then be able to enter into LaP; the Land of Paradise.  Where they will not only have back their full autonomy, sovereign independence.  But also that they will become, again, a great nation of great wealth and prosperity.  That they will be able to establish and maintain new trading and developmental partnerships with nations from the all over the world.  That they will be able to become wealthy, again, at the expense of other nations. Yes, the Brexiters, and, less so, the Remainers, are, with somewhat of a masochistic glint in their eyes.   Are either willingly or reluctantly giving up th

So, what can anybody, friend, supporter, or detractor or enemy of President Maduro of Venezuela can have to say about this man?  Can anybody have anything good to say about this Dictator? If so, what can it be? Can it be that President Maduro has added value and worth to the lives of the people of Venezuela?  That he has put bread and water on the table of the people? Can it be said that President Maduro and his government have relieved the poverty of the impoverished people of Venezuela?  That he has created jobs for those who have been unemployed, and housing for the homeless and inadequately housed?  That he and his government have been able to provide the sick people of Venezuela with the health care they need? No! Well, in whose interest does President Nicolas Maduro rules, nay, misrules Venezuela?  Probably for those who have been fortunate enough to have houses, jobs and a standard of living which does not leave them disparate, then?  They

Like a confused deer suddenly suddenly in the blinding headlight of a lorry, awaits its death by being crushed.   So, it seems, are the people of the United Kingdom awaiting their known uncertain but believed to be fearful Brexited fate. Like a captive people now condemned to death, by being cast adrift into the torrents of the squalling sea, so are the British people, at least, millions of them, awaiting their Brexitised fate with great trepidation. Like a disbelieving condemned, but innocent person, awaiting being being 'judicially killed', for a crime he/she did not commit.   So are the British people being relentlessly drawn to the fearful darkness of the unknown, as their now days of light are replaced with the shadows of the darkness which is to follow. The United Kingdom and the British people, it seems, are now living out their last days, weeks, months of being members of the community of Europeans.  They are living out their final days of belongin

We will miss AF not because she will not make anymore songs, because she had taken ill and had probably moved beyond her most creative and resonating achievements.  No, for those of us who have almost grown up with and/or parallel to her, inhabited the world at the same time, though in different lands.   We will miss her in the knowledge of knowing that this legend, AF, has now passed on.  And that it is the continuation of a trend; the passing of the legendary figures of our lifetime.  The passing of the giants; of the men and women whom we believer cannot be replaced. The expansion of the void which they are leaving, in the physical and mental world. A void which is also destined to claim us. We knew that it is not given to humans to live forever, because that is not possible, so we should have and must have know that AF would, as some point, passed on.  It should not have been unexpected, so we should not have been so greatly shocked.  AF had atta

I t can allow us to get on with our lives and the other person/s to do the same.  Sadness will occur sometimes, when we think of how differently things might have been.   But the fact is that it is as it is, and sometimes it really is best that we accept it and live the lives we are living.  To the best of our ability, and not be deflected by self-pity, guilt and/or hatred and spitefulness. If we cannot make a thing, a situation better, or improve on it, then, only spitefulness, hatred and the lack of compassion that would lead us to act in a manner which inflames it. Which seems to be of the Duchess of Sussex's father, Mr Markle's, every reported rantings relating towards his daughter.  Aided and abetted by muck and scandal-seeking sections of the populist press and media.   Mr Markle never seems to be tired of exhaling, when it would have been more prudent for him to inhale, hold his breath and, probably, utter the prudent words:  'no comment; it

'Death, it seems, is a poignant time of reflection and anticipation, even more so that being a time of mourning.' Death is an acute time of reflection, as we look back on the times we have interacted, be it mentally or physically, or both.   With the soul who is now no longer with us, except in our contemplation, our thoughts, and our shared discourse about the person who has now died.  As we contemplate the void in our ergo-sumness. Their absence from our line of vision, except that of our mind's eye.  Except in cases where we do not have recordings or videos of them, we are now in a situation where, they, the departed, can only speak and have impact through us.   Our memories of what they were about and what we know, think or believe they would have wanted. This, then, is the reality of the relationship between the living and the departed, those who have died or passed on from the world of the living, as we, the still living, know it to be.

So, who would not wish the Duchess of Sussex, the former Meghan Markle, and her husband, the Duke of Sussex, formerly Prince Harry, a happy marriage and life? Who would wish this young couple ill?  Which enemy do they have, who would wish to undermine them, their marriage, their personal life and their place within the British Monarchy?  Who would want to make their lives a misery, and to remind them of this ill-intent, through the too often rantings of the loathsome populist press? Who would declare themselves the enemy of the Duchess and Duke of Sussex and the British Monarchy?  And resort to effectively 'trolling' them, aided and abetted by, it seems, The Mail Online and The Sun newspapers?  Who, indeed, would sink so so, that they should now appear to be spluttering out the fetid and toxic gases which can only emanate from the sewer? It is not new that parents and their adult sons and daughters have estranged relationships.  That is a fact of life. T
