Russia's Diplomacy Surge Behind the scenes, the Trump administration placed a dimmer switch on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The general public and our sentiment? No differently than we walk away from a football game that is only played in the middle of the field, the boredom factor has taken over. Nobody likes a stalemate... a quagmire... nor a frozen conflict. So now, Russia's foreign ministry is casting a wide net and courting not only Africa, but the Bedouin states. Just a day or so ago the Russian State University for the Humanities (Moscow) awarded an honorary doctorate to Sudan's Sovereignty Council President, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. It makes as much sense as awarding President Donald J Trump the Nobel Peace Prize - but then again - I like to remember that all man-created awards lie within the realm of dwarfed human imagination; and there is not a William Blake among any of the awards spinners. Metaphysical geniu...

President Trump's United States of "Them" Quantify and qualify. The United States of "Them" is making a fortune. But it is not The United States of "We the People" - the average middle-class taxpayers - who are receiving inherent benefit from this current administration. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16244699/Trump-defends-skyrocketing-gas-prices-Iran-war.html "Our country is making a fortune...." Is the POTUS speaking of the fortune of BitCoin in the Trump men's trousers or the continued fortunes of Elon Musk as he beats up struggling Americans in Mississippi by offering to purchase their poor homes in their poorer neighborhoods so that he can build another Data Center? What if - these individuals just happen to live contently within the community with which they are familiar? Home is everything. But then again, Elon Musk lives in a house and not a home. He is a sperm donor and not a real father, scrapping along to feed ...
Binary Islam: III Open the box and in it you will find the following information. What are you viewing? The nose and the ears of a camel. Abu Jahl Qur'an 8:5,6 A peaceful slumber and a steady rain. Qur'an 22:19 Thousands of angels each behind the other. Qur'an 8:9 Qur'an 54:45 and Qur'an 8:17 Qur'an 3: 133 The miracle of the sword. Leadership corpses dropped into empty wells. Answer: The Battle of Badr The Qur'an is the story of Prophet Muhammad and the early Muslims. Each ayat is a sign. This sign, signals to the symbolism within the ayat which is found in the code book of the Qur'an, the Ahadith. These volumes of work count as anthologies, or - opera omnia. But the Qur'an and Ahadith signal back and forth in furious manner. And especially with Ahadith, I have found them sprinkled generously within the casual conversations of the Muslim community. I signal too. It seems polite. This is no different than a Christian saying, "The just sha...
Look to the Rooftops What do you use to warn off vandalism against Rome's Colosseum? A whistle. Yep. A security guard was blowing his whistle. Kind of reminds me that Navy women in Ghana, W. Africa were handed a whistle on a lanyard and instructed that if we needed help when in the field, to give it a toot. Some manly-man would come to our rescue. We called them our rape whistles, and I opined a man would use the lanyard to strangle us. Because a damn whistle is just a cut above the original early warning system, which is the chemical attack which proceeds from the nether-regions immediately prior to a bad case of explosive diarrhea. But do let me offer up a quick toot. Are you monitoring your rooftops in Europe? Will an enterprising terrorist just drop a couple of home-made fireballs off a roof into the protesting herds below? After all, Al Qaeda had a magazine issue which informed how to turn your kitchen sink into a biological weapons factory...
A Neglected Europe My father and mother loaded three small children (2.5, 1.5, and seven months of age ) into a vehicle and traveled from Washington State to Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico and never looked back. Years later, the family grew to eight members when my youngest sibling was born with the help of a mid-wife in Oaxaca, Mexico. With a heart full of love, my father did what he could for the poorest of the poor. What he never did, was to neglect his own family. He would have considered it a grievous sin. Another missionary in Cuernavaca had a wife and four small children. He got into the habit of giving all to the poor and leaving his wife with a bare cupboard and hungry mouths. This went on for months. It must have been desperation, of course, because she was a lovely woman. But she abandoned her family and ran off with another man. Who was desperate now? America is the first missionary. Europe is the second. And because E...
