What next …
- … Donald Trump and all US voters – concentration camps for Muslims, as the British notoriously did during the (Second) Boer War, the Germans even more notoriously did during World War Part Two, and, to lesser extent, the USA also did during that war? Or are you going to profess surprise when someone else does it for your, as the (mostly) evil John Howard did when the outcomes from his xenophobic use of the politics of fear became apparent?
- … Europe and every nation expressing concern over refugees – are YOU going to expand the current refugee detention camps into a system of concentration camps, or go down the xenophobic line of thinking that the Nazis were such expert exponents of? Or are you going to cling to the best of Europe’s heritage – the ideals of freedom, human rights and liberal democracy?
- … Mr Putin – now that you’ve given up on democracy and tried your military machine out in Syria, as Hitler did in Spain, are you going to annex Ukraine – in total, or in part, or the Baltic States, or “take the burden of defence” from your client states in Central Asia, or drive as much of Europe into submission as you can with your gas monopoly? Was the shooting down of a jet (have you noticed the Turks have down this a couple of times to Syrian aircraft???) an embarrassment to your plans of demonstrating superiority? Or are you going to choose the nobility of true statesmanship – more von Bismarck (especially as he would prefer to have been) than Hitler?
- … President Xi Jinping - the violent path of military imperialism, like the Western powers (including the USA) did in Africa and Asia in recent centuries – in which case your future is shown in the recent wars of liberation and the fact that every empire has eventually ended (unless you’re going to cede permanency to the USA, which has lost colonies such as the Philippines?), or a more mature, subtle and nuanced path, leaving China open to a path of maturity and respect? At the moment, all the indications (why do you need ICBMs?) are of war – war the blame for which will be laid solely with China, and being blamed for a war or other major problems worked out so well for Carthage, France, Germany, the Qing dynasty, the Boxers, the Republic of China, ...

[2] Please
see here, here, here and my post "The
Death of Wikipedia" for the reasons
I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of h2g2,
although that doesn't appear to be as extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather
engagingly - to be the Earth edition of
"The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").
[3] I apologise for the formatting: it seems Blogger is
no longer as WYSIWYG as it used to be, and there are a lot of unwanted
changes to layout made upon publishing, so I often have to edit it immediately
after publishing to get the format as close to what I want as possible.Love, light, hugs and blessings

My "blogiography" (list of all posts and guide as to how to best use this
site) is here, and my glossary/index is here.
I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue
(see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me
for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are,
to meditate-clear for peace), and here
for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend
learning how to flame, ground
and shield, do alternate
nostril breathing, work
with colour, and see also here and be
flexible.
The real dividing line is not between
Christianity and Islam, Sunni and Shia, East and West. It is between people who
believe in coexistence, and those who don’t.
- If your “gut” (your instinct/intuition) is telling you something is wrong, but logic and the available evidence is saying otherwise, the proper conclusion to draw is that you need better, more personally credible evidence. Your “gut” could be wrong, right, or missing the nuances / “shades of grey” . So could the available evidence.
- All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...
