Probably Not Just Another Sun-Set?

Image
  This is another video of the radiant looking Sun, as it sets, from my vantage point, on a Winter's evening. It is, I believe, a quite spectacular but simple sight to watch and enjoy, as time, imperceptible passes by, measured and defined only by the physical changes observable to us, humans/ Please take a look, and, if you are inclined to do so, enjoy, as I have done, at your leisure.

CYBER WARFARE - PRESIDENT OBAMA'S UNBELIEVABLE HYPOCRISY TOWARDS RUSSIA

Image
President Obama has decided to expel 35 Russian diplomats from the United States, and threatened more sanctions against the Russian Federation, for, according to the President, the Russian Government having hacked into the U.S' electoral process. The implications being that that Russia might have influenced the outcome of the recent Presidential election, which has resulted in Donald Trump winning it.  One could imagine that, with The Don having made pronouncements or 'twits' which might be seen as somewhat partial towards his incoming regime being more willing to 'do business with the Russians', there might be some conspiracy between Donald Trump and the Russians. Or, for conspiracy theorists, such a possible conspiracy being less unlikely. Thus, in the death throws of his Presidency, President Obama has chosen not to reflect the positivity which he had pronounced at its beginning, but to do as much damage as he can, to worsening the already poor America/

A CONSIDERATION - IS THE ISLAMIC CALIPHATE A BUNCH OF PAGANS?

Image
If the Islamic Caliphate or Daesh is what god and religion is about, then, become a pagan or an athiest, and be a better person. Turkey continues to suffer great calamity, although not on the same level as the people of Syria, except for the devastation which the State of Turkey is meting out to her Kurdish citizens. Arguably, the repeated attacks which are being made on, primarily the armed forces of Turkey, by the PKK, can be attributed to the state of war which exists between that organisation and the PKK, following the resumption of attacks on the latter by the former, by the Erdogan Government. Turkey has also made herself more vulnerable to attacks and destabilisation by having also declared war on the State of Syria, in her collusion with the west in trying to effect regime change. All of which has added to the resurgent and resurgency of what has become known as the 'Islamic Caliphate', Daesh or Isis. The IC or Isil is like a dark void trying to consu

Go, Go, Go, Man; We Have To make Haste While The Coast Is Clear!

This is a short video of some pigeons eating, as it were, very purposefully, and with some haste, as they do not know when they will have to fly. Please take a look and see if it brings you any pleasure, and, if so, enjoy!

PRIME MINISTER MAY AND THE POOLDIISATION OF BRITAIN. THE END.

Image
So, can any of her Ministers and her diplomatic staff really trust their Boss to stand up for and defend them? It seems that it very much depends on whether their action is likely to increase the income of the United Kingdom's Treasury, rather than the nation's standing on matters of moral and legal principles.  As an advocate for, yes, the rule of international law, and for justice for the Palestinians. Of course, in its totality, Prime Minister May's attempted rebuttal of aspects of John Kerry's speech, seems to make clear the fact that the British Government does not have any substantial issues with what Kerry said. It seems to be more of a generalised rebuttal, the intention of which, as I have already stated, is her attempt to appease Netanyahu and ingratiate herself with Donald Trump.  Thus does her statement made it clear that her government sees part of the solution to the conflict, as a 'two state' arrangement, and that the building of settlements

BRITAIN'S MUSLIMS ARE PROBABLY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER SUB-SECTION OF HER POPULATION?

Image
Earlier this year, the broadcaster, Trevor Phillips, presented a Channel 4 programme about British Muslims, called, What Britain's Muslims Think.'  The programme presented a rather stark and potentially frightening image of a sizeable proportion of Britain's Muslims, with a significant percentage of those surveyed, making responses which could cause some disquiet. This included a significant percentage supporting the application of Sharia Law in Britian, wanting to make homosexuality illegal, illegal, and so on. The programme triggered off alot of debate, which, considering the on-going debate over immigration and terrorism, was not surprising. Just over 6 or so months later, we have had another progrogramme focusing on Britain's Muslim communities; I stress communities, because, like Christianity, Islam comes in many versions, each of which have their own supporters. And, probably, like Christianity and other religions, the followers of each ver

JUST A THOUGHT - WHAT WILL THE NEW YEAR 2017 BRINGS?

Image
And so for those of us who have not yet gazed upon it, because of our geographical location on Planet Earth, does the New Year, 2017 approaches our orbit. Foretelling further promises of what is yet to come, for each and all of us. That for some of us, it will be a continuation of the good fortune we, you or the others have enjoyed in the past year, 2016. And that for still others, sadly, tragically, it there will be no change from the misfortune which we, they, the others have had to endure and suffer, in 2016.  That for others, it will indeed be the case that there will be a joyous turnaround in their lives, as the gods of misfortune are defeated by the gods of god fortune, transforming their misfortune to, at last, good fortune, and blessing them with the pleasure and happiness that they have not known for some time or, indeed, a very long time. That for some of us who have been blessed only with the happiness and the joys which are the preserve of those on whom goo
