EUROPE AND THE WORLD AT A TRANSFORMATIONAL PERIOD IN HISTORY? PART 2.

Image
In an Egypt where, except for the radicals and the progressives who, having been defeated by the military dictatorship, have, in their desperation, turned to armed rebellion.  Either separately, or, for reasons of expediency and probably their disgust as how the West have re-embraced the military dictatorship, which they had fought against, joined forces with the perverted Al Queda and/or ISIL forces.  Not only that, but we have had Egyptian militants killing Egyptian Christians. As it they, the Egyptian Muslims, have any greater call of the grace of god, being he Christian or Muslim, than Egyptian Christians. The acts of barbarity which Egyptian Muslim fanatics have been perpetrating on Egyptian Christians.  Underscore the core of the threat which Muslim fundamentalists pose to all free societies.  And the freedom of all individuals and societies struggling to free themselves of Islamic dogma.  That of them being 'transnational'. Of them not giving primacy to

EUROPE AND THE WORLD AT A TRANSFORMATIONAL PERIOD IN HISTORY? PART 1.

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. There are  currently no wars - probably except for in Eastern Ukraine - in Europe and North America and probably all regions of the world which are inhabited by predominantly by people who are not Europeans. But, for too many countries outside of these almost Europeanised zones of 'exceptionalism', the situation is starkly different. With tensions and conflicts being the order of the day, night, month, year/s, and, in some cases, decades.  You need look no further than to Yemen, which is steeped in killing, deaths by disease and man

A CONVERSATION WITH GOD. PART 21.

Image
For thousands of years, humans, first the priests, shaman, and the clergy, and then the ordinary people, have sought to speak with the gods, and then for the gods.  Always being secure in the knowledge that the gods would not denounce what they have reported of these conversations. So, why have the gods remained silent? Why have the gods chosen not to speak for themselves? G.:  The world of humans is, as you can and have argued, correctly, T, is not the domain of the gods. How could it be?  When they are humans, fallible, mostly emotion-driven mortal beings. Compared to the infallibility and omnipresent and omnipotence they have attributed to the gods?  Considering the respective attributes of me, god, T, and those of humans, how could I, who, according to the powers which have been ascribed to me. And which are clearly lacking in the average human, expect humans to behave like I do?  Surely, T, that would not be rational or logical thinking, which is

MONOCO GRAND PRIX - VETTEL AND FERRARI ON FIRE, AS HAMILTON AND MERCEDES RECONFIGURE THEIR CHALLENGE!

Image
Big Congratulation to Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo and their team, Ferrari and Red Bull, for having completed the Monaco Grand Prix on P.1, P.2 and P.3, respectively As Formula One races go, the 2017 Monaco Grand Prix, as it had been in previous seasons, not a great race, with the drivers having to prioritise safety above pretty much all else.  Indeed, despite its purported fame, the Monaco circuit is, compared to other Grand Prix circuits, an inner-city A road, with the racing cars doing 78 laps of 'following the leader' racing.  A monotonous spectacle which is only broken up with drivers being drawn into the surrounding barriers, bringing an untimely end to their race. It was no different during Sunday's race, with Vettel, with the aid of a fortuitous tactical move by his team, taking over the lead from his team mate, Kemi, and remaining in the lead thereafter.  To Kimi's palpable chagrin. And, while Vettel remained on fir

JUST A THOUGHT - WHAT IF WE ALL PRETEND THAT ALL IS WELL?

Image
Yes, what if we were to all pretend that all is well with all of or most of us and the world? Irrespective of our particular circumstances and situations?  If we were to accept what is as what is meant to be and acquiesce to it? What if were were to pretend that all the 'bad' things which has happened, are not really bad, but are meant to be?  That they happen for some 'good purpose' which could not have come to fruition if the 'bad' things had not occurred first? Yes, what if we were to pretend that out of 'bad' can come and does cometh 'good' deeds? What if, like children playing imaginary games, we were to all participate in a game of pretence; pretending that all is well with us and the world. Pretend that the world is now at peace.  That people are no longer plotting, conspiring and fighting against each other. That our neighbours and strangers were no longer jealous of what we have and us of them.  That the refugee and t
