While We Still Have Time

In spite of the grimness of the times in which we live, there is still hope. If you feel, like I do, that the usual discourse about matters of critical concern tends to be superficial, misguided, and false, then you might find some solace and inspiration here. I will try to offer insight and a holistic perspective on events and issues, and hopefully serve as a catalyst for raising the level of dialogue on this planet.

Name:
Location: Madison, Wisconsin, United States

I was born in 1945, shortly before atom bombs were dropped on Japan. I served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1971. I earned master's degrees in Economics and Educational Psychology, and certificates in Web Page Design and as a Teacher of English as a Second Language. I followed an Indian guru for eight years, which immersed me in meditative practices and an attitude of reaching a higher level of being. A blog post listing the meditative practices I have pursued can be seen here.

Vichy Western Civilization

The criminal war against Iran will end as soon as Trump and Netanyahu agree on the timing. Trump has threatened the entire Persian civilization, adding that it would never be brought back again. He also threatened to blow Iran off the face of the Earth. There is only one way to do this. Nuclear weapons. Israel, entirely comfortable with waging genocide in Gaza and now Lebanon, has nuclear weapons, and has shown no restraint in wanton destruction of any country within its reach.

Donald Trump, deranged criminal sociopath, has no qualms about mass murder or any other crime against humanity or the planet. The only thing that would get in his way of approving the use of nuclear weapons is the possibility of it being bad for him personally. Not a particularly bright guy, he depends on advisors and cronies to tell him what he can get away with. Netanyahu, also a deranged criminal sociopath, wants to bomb Iran so badly he might drop the bomb regardless of consequences.

What could stop this dynamic? NATO? Not likely. Western Civilization is now Vichy to Israel. England, France, Germany, Italy and Canada all send weapons to Israel, though dwarfed by the U.S. Russia and China, both nuclear powers, might be a deterrent. I wouldn't count on it. The pope? He's trying. Trump insults him. It probably is inevitable, and will be the end of not just Iran, but likely every government in the Mideast and the Western world. The time to stop this madness was 1948. ___________________________________
