Well, I haven’t really been blogging for a while due to a mixture of traveling, business commitments, and a general revulsion with what is going on in the world, but it is my birthday today and I had a bit of downtime today.
So first let me thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday and of course, the few ( very few thankfully) who wished that it would be my last one.
It is a fact that when commenting on the awful things that are happening today such as the genocide that is taking place in Palestine, you just can’t please everybody, and to be honest, if I was pleasing everybody I doubt that any of my wee offerings would be read anyway.
So, looking back on my 77th year on this planet, it makes me very sad and disappointed in a very large slice of the so-called human race over this last year as we see conflicts in two main parts of the world and potential conflicts that seem to be being deliberately ramped up across the globe.
Let me start with the potential conflicts. These are China and North Korea. OK now Kim Jong Un, might not be everyone’s cup of tea as far as getting people’s back up, but think of it, when has he invaded anyone else’s country? Or indeed, when has he interfered in anyone else’s country?
Well, to save you googling it I will tell you, never. Ok, so next question. Who is it that has issues with North Korea? Again to save you from looking it up, I will tell you about the good old US of America, and why they have issues with North Korea? Because like them they have nuclear weapons, and because they have nuclear weapons the US cant employ their usual modus operandi of using Non-governmental organizations to ferment unrest and overthrow the official government, as they have done in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc, etc, etc.
This takes me to China, or to be more precise Taiwan. Now, Taiwan is part of China and even America recognizes this, to the point that the US does not even have an embassy in Taiwan. The reason for the rift between China and Taiwan is that at the end of the Second World War in 1945 there was a civil war and the communist party under Mao Zedong defeated the republican party under Chiang Kai-shek. The Republicans retreated to the island of Taiwan where they remain to this day. Apart from a few skirmishes’, China has been prepared to wait for a political change for the two entities to become one China. That was of course until Uncle Sam decided to foment unrest and now Taiwan and China are at loggerheads. Again the common denominator is good old Uncle Sam.
So that brings me to the two actual areas of live conflict and guess who is behind both of them, yes, you got it, good old Uncle Sam, and here is why.
Right let’s take Ukraine, ahh you will say, yes Russia invaded Ukraine two years ago. Well, it is not just as simple as that as this started some time before this, and in fact, it started in 2014.
Now the area in contention is the Donbass area which is mainly Russian speaking and the reason for that is that it is mainly populated by Russian people and has been since the 18th century when Ukraine was part of Russia, which as a comparison is about two thousand years sooner than the Jews claim they were inhabitants in Palestine.
So getting back to the recent war, which by the way, Russia calls a “special operation” Now in 2014, Ukraine was governed by a pro-Russia government and was by all accounts being governed reasonably well, apart from the corruption which has been endemic in Ukraine for many years. It has now however under Zelenskyy blossomed into an art form.
Ok, so along comes jolly old Uncle Sam again and sets up various NGOs and ferments unrest. Now there was, since the second world war a very strong following of a guy called Josep Bandera, who was a raving Nazi and this cult is what the unrest was formed around. There was an incident in Kiev in Maiden Square where several protesters were shot, quite possibly arranged by Uncle Sam’s CIA. This started a mini revolution which displaced the government, ending up with Zelensky who started his working life as a comedian, and before long became a property billionaire with property in London and the south of France.
Ok so we have a nazi government who are not friendly with Russia which is not surprising as Russia lost 27 Million people to the Nazis in the second world war.
The Ukraine Government then employed a Nazi battalion called Azov to lay siege to the Donbas area as they had expressed a wish to separate from Ukraine and govern themselves Azov killed 14,000 Donbas residents from 2014 until Russia stepped in to protect them in 2021. Oh one other thing, Ukraine made moves to join NATO and despite previous assurances between America and Russia that there would be no movement further east of NATO, Good Old Uncle Sam reneged on these agreements and prepared to allow Ukraine to join. This would have meant that there would have been nuclear weapons based on Russia’s border which would have been seven and a half minutes from Moscow.
Anyway, that is not going to happen now as Uncle Sam has had his ass well and truly spanked along with his proxy Ukrainian army and shortly Russia will have achieved its objective which is the de-Nazification and de-militarization of Ukraine. Oh and by the way the Donbas, through a referendum is now part of Russia.
So, this brings me to the main area of conflict and that is Palestine, where Israel is carrying out the most blatant genocide in the history of the planet, backed and armed by, guess who? Once again, Good Old bloodthirsty Uncle Sam. Yes believe it or not where there is blood being spilled on the planet today you can bet your bottom Doller that Uncle San has his greasy fingers in it stirring it up.
Now this has its roots in my life’s timeline as I was born in 1947 and this present conflict started about then with the formation of the new country Israel which again had the US behind it. Now it is too long a story to go into now as I am hoping to finish this and get down to Mennies for a pint to celebrate my birthday, but very briefly. Israel is today governed by people who do not have the faintest semite D and A. They base their heritage on a fairytale called the Exodus where God’s chosen people left Egypt and got lost in the desert for 40 years on a journey that should have taken 11 days. Eventually finding Cannen and is given an instruction by a loving god to commit genocide on the Canaanites.
It is absolute nonsense but that is what they chose to believe which takes us back to today when the United Nations International Criminal Court decided that Israel had a case to answer for the Genocide of today’s Palestinian people who they have been slaughtering for the last three months.
Guess what? Uncle Sam is not accepting the verdict of the court.
I intend to write a more comprehensive piece on the present horrors taking place in Palestine but the point of what I am writing tonight is to point the finger at the perpetrators of the horror. It is a fact that the two biggest terrorist organizations on the planet are the US and Israel.
So I wish all of my friends a great weekend and thank you for all the lovely messages wishing me a happy birthday.
Just one of my wee sayings to finish up with.
Never be afraid to say what you honestly believe is the right thing to say and never be afraid to listen to what someone else believes is the right thing to say. Invariably the actual right thing is somewhere in between.
