There is no doubt that China is a special country and they have tremendous advantages as a nation with predominantly one race, one language and one religion. Yet when it comes to translating developmental goals into action in terms of reforms in the society the straight jacket systems can develop chinks. Disciplined people too can come across totally unexpected obstacles while working towards goals set up by their masters. The earthquake scenario in China has thrown up many such situations and we should take note of them for avoiding the same mistakes.

I’ve received some negative email on my article concerning the robber’s of Buenos Aires, one in particular, the writer feels I was too hard on the robbers, and his city, and his country, by notifying the people his city is dangerous. Then he goes on to say, I should learn how to speak Spanish if I’m going to visit a Spanish speaking country, evidently, this is the only article he has read of mine, since I have written 1200 for one Internet site alone.

We got a problem, and when I say we, I do not necessarily mean Government, because the Government is half the problem.  Let me explain, without trying to create anarchy, which is not good for any state or country.  I am talking about a militia problem

In today’s world, the sword has one point, only, and no sharp sides, the symbol is of course force, or power, or money, it is all in one. There also is a hidden force inside that tip, this point I’m talking about...

I wrote a book a number of years ago, called, “Islam, In Search of Satan’s Rib,” it did quite well, and it talked about: before you judge Islam, you got to know their mind, and to know their mind; you got to know their God. And so in the process of the book, we look for the Islamic God, the Muslims’ mind in essence is tied up in such a wrapping; likewise in the following case.

I have been in Egypt, and I am not surprised with their on going fear and pressure they try to put on their citizens. We are dealing with the Middle East, where they have been for as long as I’ve been around pulling their citizens by the nose, and telling them when to, and what to do. They are used to that. I’m surprised the young blogger is still alive (Abdel Karim Suleiman, a 22-year-old who went against the system on the internet).

“Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda says he is God, and his followers believe him.”  CNN World News

I’m not sure where I want to start with this article, I mean, it is one thing for this Jose Luis man to announce to the world, he is God, God, incarnate, like Jesus, and it is another thing for followers to follow him, and I can accept that

I’m not sure why, how and when the UN came up with a policy to not kill, killers, or to save killers, or to preserve them for posterity in prison cells, but it is a bad policy. And so thinks the Iraqi government, or legal process:“Iraq's High Tribunal has sentenced Saddam Hussein's former vice-president Taha Yassin Ramadan to be hanged. He was tried alongside the former Iraqi leader over the killing of 148 Shias in the village of Dujail in the 1980s.”

Where there is smoke, assume there is fire, or get burnt when it reaches you.  The president of Iran said several times it wants to crush Israel, and it sent a missile over the Persian Gulf, over head of an American Ship recently, now that they got the attention of the UN, EU, China and Russia, and Israel, their spokesman said, it is for a peaceful mission, for fuel, when they got a horde of oil in their backyard.

I think Iran got a taste of their own medicine, and they don’t like it. They think they can kill Americans and Iraqis at free will, disrupt Israel through Syria and Lebanon, send military snipers over to Iraqi, and be immune to terrorism itself, when it is part of the lot. It’s about time they get payback. Iranian President said the abductors “…acted under U.S. supervision."

As the world is continuing to grow and change, it is time to re-identify how the global community perceived nations and what are called world “superpowers.” At the moment, there are two such superpowers in the world.

Today the world was told Fidel Castro has terminal cancer. I don’t wish anyone bad luck not even him, and you can’t get much worse luck than that, but I think the old dictator has had his share of good luck these past 45-years (plus), with the whores he brings through the backdoors of his palace, as I was told by the many folks who watched his palace when I was in Havana, watched them come and go (horde his money also). Perhaps they are liars, but it would seem they got no more to lose than gain by telling me a fib. Alas, he will not be returning back to power I would guess that may be a relief for the country he has put under his heal. In addition, he has won a few victories; he can talk about in the hereafter.
