JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON THE WIDER IMPLICATIONS IRAQI KURDS INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM VOTE! PART 1

'In theory every people, Jews, Kurds, Shites, Sunnis, Yazides, Turkomen, Arabs of all tribes, Europeans, Africans, Asian, et al, should have their own slice of the world's land mass to call their own.  That they should be allowed to have their independence - from the owners of the rest of cake earth, and be able to live in peace and prosperity for millenniums.' In theory.  But, in reality, that is not how it operates. In reality, the owners of the different earth lots do not live in peace for long.  Instead, they encroach on their neighbours' lots, especially if they have more resources, if the grass is greener, as it were.  They make demands on their neighbours and threaten them, if they refuse to give up some or all of their lots.  And, in time, the more powerful plot or lot owners try to takeover the plots of others and create a monopoly, by means of war, if they have to. Which is why the opportunistic attempted - because it might still come to nou

JIHADISM AND THE UNBELIEVABLE DELUSIONAL PSYCHOTIC STATE OF ITS FOLLOWERS! PART 6!

Allah.: And therein lies your mistake, Jihadi. Had you been able to think for yourself, you would have considered asking me. What evidence have you, Jihadi, of me, Allah, God, killing humans and destroying their livelihood? Jihadi.: None, Lord. But you do not have to do it yourself, because we do it for you. Allah.: Yes, as I said, Jihadi. You and your kind, of whatever religion, presume to take onto yourselves the responsibility to decide what I should think, pronounce and do. You need me more than I need you. In truth, Jihadi, I do not need you and your kind, because you are nothing short of an abomination to me and my name. Jihadi.: But, Lord, how can that be, when we have fought for you; we have killed for you; we have maimed thousands for you; we have destroyed for you; and we have visited great misery on a great many people for you? Allah.: Jihadi! Are you not listening to me? I knew that you have a problem with your ability to understand and to function as a

Conversely, there are, or should be sufficient liberal democrats and compassionate politicians in the Bundestag to use their collective debating skills and exercise of power to erode the appeal of the AfD. But before any of this can take place, Angel Merkel and her CDU/CSU bloc must form a complementary, cohesive, stable and secure coalition.  To take German and the German people, to a better place, where more of them are having their basic and other needs met.  A place where Germany can take up some of the leadership vacuum in the international affairs, and play a bigger role in making the whole world a more peaceful and better place.  Including for the migrants and refugees who have, at least in part, become the unwitting driver for many, if not all of those Germans who are responsible for the successful showing of the AfD.  Because, when people do not have to leave their countries of birth, because of wars, famine and/or dire poverty, there is less need for other cou

Jihadi.: But, Lord! What we do, we do only in your name, and for your greater glory. We are but your obedient and devout servants. Do we not exclaim, 'Allahu Akbar', each time we kill one of your enemies, or destroy their defences and habitation? Allah.: And such have been the refrain of killers, murders and genocidal psychopaths throughout the ages, Jihadi.  As they slaughter the innocents, they try to deceive themselves and others that it is all being done for 'the greater glory of Allah, of god.' Jihadi.: But, Lord! I, we do all that we do, in your service! Allah.: In my service, Jihadi? How could you stand before me and dishonour, disgrace my name so terribly?  Have you no intellect. Are you devoid of the ability to think for yourself; to differentiate between that which serves humanity and that which clearly does not? Why would I, whom you presume to serve, demand of you that you make yourself the accuser, judge, jury and executioner of those whom

The Urban Garden, As It Approaches The Shedding Of Its Heightened Beauty!

And so, as Autumn or Fall Approaches, however seemingly distant it might yet appear.  So do the plants of the urban garden appear to clothed themselves in ever more strikingly colourful garments of leaves.  That yet might be find not only beauty, but also delight, wonderment and a sense of being humbled, if we so allow ourselves to do, in a process which speaks of the outer death of these floral lives.   So that their inner selves can burst forth come next Spring! If only it were so, with us humans, you might surmise! Please take a look at this video, and, should you feel inclined to do, do enjoy!

The challenge for her and her yet to be formed coalition, is that of whether she will be able to make them a sufficiently attractive offer.   Without having to make compromises which, not only her coalition partners will find unacceptable. But also significant portions of the German people who are fearful of the growth potential of the AfD. The Alternative Fur Deutschland might not be Hitler's National Socialist Party, but the latter also had small beginnings, which it cunningly used to inveigle itself into power.  Of course, the AfD and its leaders are no Hitler and his cronies, and the former Reichstag is not the Bundestag.  However, both Hitler's Nazis and the AfD have key sentiments in common. Including the fact that both spoke of and/or are speaking the language of 'Germany for the Germans'.  Having experienced and/or being made of the atrocious reign of Hitler and his Nazis, the majority of Germans are likely to be fearful of the AfD and its pote
