Russia and Ukraine War

I was doing some research.  

We are always lied to.  

Russia is not like USA. USA goes out of its territory to start wars. Irak, Syria, Libya, Vietnam, Afghanistan etc.  all ended in disaster for those nations, millions of deaths.  

Russia has been invaded by the west for hundreds of years, therefore, all the nations west of Russia are her buffer nations, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Macedonia etc. and these nations came out of the collapsed Soviet Union.  

The buffet nations act as protection to Russia against the west. 

Now Putin advised NATO and USA to not initiate or push Ukraine to join NATO or any other alliance with USA or the west.  

What did NATO do or USA? They were confronting Russia by talking about a military base or bases in Ukraine.  

Now Putin is no angel, and war is not the answer. But we are being fed wrong news. It is again the USAs fault that war began.  

USA could have easily said, no to bases and ended it without war months ago.  

Russia is protecting herself from the west.  

At least, I read it this way.

Wallpaper for some time

The below image was found from the internet.  This website used the image since the children (of war-torn Syria) in the image were thought to be looking into the camera wanting and hoping for a bright future to come, where they can be happy and safe with family and friends.  The wishing of a bright future by the children is similar to what this website is hoping for, which is a bright future of internet users visiting the site to read informative articles.  We are hoping both good wishes come to fruition.

Hope is a good thing

Bombing of Syria

Bombing of Syria

 

Here we go again, another USA administration bombing a country.  How many countries has the USA bombed in the past quarter century?  A dozen? 

 

I am saddened to see people in Syria suffer, however, bombing is not the answer, and we should know this by now.

 

The Obama administration rightly stayed out of Syria. 

 

The fighting in Syria has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions in Syria since the beginning of the war, which I believe is at the sixth year mark.

 

The direct American involvement that began on April 7, 2017 with over 50 cruise missiles attacking has caused even further destruction in this country.  I believe this military action is a complete error by USA.  The USA constitution does not require that American forces fight in every war around the world; this one should have been sat out.  

 

The immense resources of the United States should be dedicated rather, to one single goal:

Reduce human suffering with humanitarian aid.

 

President Trump should immediately cease all direct attacks on the Syrian regime and instead help the people of this country.

War, What Is It Good For?

War! What is it good for? 

'War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!' --- Edwin Starr

I'd like to ask a question and answer it, with a 'slight' sarcasm, to support the above quote.  

Question. 

What is war?

Answer: 

War is a conflict situation, where nations or opposing parties carry on a 'force of arms', to resolve a bitter situation.   A situation which can be resolved through true and open discussion, without harming citizens.  

It is very sad that our leaders still resort to such violence as war to end disputes.  

Sincerely, 

Ben

USA Land Size

USA Land Size

I came by the following information and wanted to share this today, as I found it to be important to know. 

Briefly, I wanted to know how USA increased the land size.  

Do you know which territories and/or states were part of America prior to 1830?  You might have an idea, I understand this.  

Now, add the following states of:
New Mexico, 
Arizona, 
Utah, 
Nevada, and 
California 
to America's size, as USA won the Mexican-American War, which occurred on the dates of 1846 to 1848.  

Also, the modern state of Texas was created partly from the Republic of Texas, which had won independence from Mexico in 1836 and became a state in 1845; and partly from land ceded by Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, after the Mexican-American War.

  
As we can understand, USA increased the land size dramatically around year of 1850. 

I found this topic to be very interesting, and wanted to bring to your attention. 

Sincerely now,

There are Known Unknowns

There are Known Unknowns 

Donald Rumsfeld gave a briefing to the media after bombing Irak, on the date of February 2002.   

          Mr Rumsfeld 

The country of Irak has since tailspined into utter dispare and absolute chaos. 

During the briefing, part of his comments are as:
'... because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know, we know.  We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.  But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know...."

What is this man talking about? Is he trying to say that the USA killed for no reason whatsoever and that they terrorized a country based on absolute lies, since the world now knows that there were 'no mass chemical warfare'. 

          No truth here

I am hoping that USA and the rest of the G8 countries will not try to justify some sort of a lie to bomb the country of Iran.  

Sincerely now,

Lucifer and Albert Pike

Lucifer and Albert Pike

The purpose of WWI, WWII and (the eventual) WWIII are beyond anything the history books teach our children.  

     Lucifer 

I believe the past wars, and the coming one, are all about Luciferian control, plus setting up of burdensome bank debts of the general public, which will control the people's finances (even more) by the elite bankers.  

The Jesuits, Freemasons, Council of Foreign Relations and the mysterious Illuminati are working together to achieve the goal of a 'New World Order'. 

In 1871 Albert Pike, the man who is shown to be the forefather of the Freemasons movement envisioned three World Wars to be followed by an unparalleled economic disaster.   

Mr Pike's plans have come to fruition, shockingly 'on target'.

   Albert Pike

Albert Pike's letter to Italian dictator Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871 is written below, make note that this letter is years prior to WWI. 

"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism.  The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war.  At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists.  This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.  During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World.  The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.  Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion.  We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil.  Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.  This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

This letter of Albert Pike is devastatingly accurate thus far.   I am hoping WWIII does not come to fruition, and somewhere somehow our politicians will show restraint of aggressive tactics with one another.  

Sincerely, 

Ben

Intervention by Turkey

Intervention by Turkey

I have been following the 'guerrilla war' going on in Syria, and I am perplexed at some comments made by westerners from the comfort of their peaceful homes.  

          Tanks sitting on the Turkish side 

Let us briefly look at the issue at hand.  

But first, I will re-write the question, why are some screaming for meddling and interventions by Turkey? 

The answer is that the Turkey does not want to get dragged into an in-ending & un-winnable guerrilla war.  

I invite citizens of the world to read 'Art of War' by Mr Sun Tzu.

If USA politicians actually read the book, they, I mean the politicians would not be constantly getting involved in fiascos all the time, all around the world.  

          Men watching the bombing

If IS (Islamic State) attacks Turkey, then the matter is different, as Turkey is justified to protect its borders and therefore retaliate.  What Turkey is doing is watching how the affair unfolds and using caution.  This 'caution' is something all countries should use, before bombing each other.  

But, let's say something needs to be done right away, as in we need to go into Syria and 'bomb' IS or other parties.  

I for one definitely agree that something should be done to save the people of the town of Kobani. 

However, Turkey should not fight IS on its own.  

What is required is a a 'joint force' of NATO countries going in to solve this dilemma.  

Or how about the 'so called' world powers of USA, UK, Canada and France, putting their nose into this as well and going into Syria and bombing that country like Afghanistan or Irak or Vietnam was 'handled' previously.  

But, let's not be sarcastic here.  

If Turkey were part of a joint force it would make sense to complete a 'peaceful ground operation' but for a single country to invade another is illegal and absolutely foolish. 

I hope our politicians have learned that 'war is not the answer to peace'.  I really hope that...

Sincerely, 

Ben 

The Beautiful Tuco

The Beautiful Tuco

Eli Wallach, who played "the Ugly" character of the brilliant movie of 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' has passed away quietly on June 24, 2014.   

         Excellent actor - Tuco 

Rest In Peace.

Mr Wallach was an American film, television and stage actor whose career spanned more than six decades, beginning in the late 1940s.

      the cemetery scene

Mr Wallach initially studied method acting under 'Sanford Meisner', and later became a founding member of the Actors Studio.  

I first watched him in the spaghetti western mentioned about and always thought he was brilliant in this role.  'Tuco', one could argue, stole almost every single scene in the movie.  Now , we will not argue this, not the time, as the entire production with all the cast and members, came together to make the 'best' film in 'world' theatre, in my opinion.  

        Another scene from the cemetery 

Today, I wanted to bring to attention, this 'Beautiful' man passed away on June 24, 2014; and I am ashamed to admit I heard about this yesterday, on August 29, 2014. 

My humble homage to this man.  

RIP.

The Deer Hunter

The Deer Hunter 

What a movie? 

Have you watched it?

I'll describe the plot of this culturally rich movie.  

         the buddies

The Deer Hunter is a 1978 American film about the social troubles associated with soldiers returning from the Vietnam War.  

This is a drama film directed by Michael Cimino.  

      Robert de Niro and his friends

The film is about a trio of Russian American steelworkers and their troubles in the Vietnam War. 

The film stars: 

Robert De Niro, 

Christopher Walken, 

John Savage, 

John Cazale, 

Meryl Streep, and 

George Dzundza. 

The director Mr Cimino's bold and powerful 'epic movie' goes from a blue-collar small town outside of Pittsburg to the 'hell' resembling Vietnam, in just one night.  

          the look

Ribert De Niro holds it together powerfully.  

Christopher Walken, Meryl Streep and John Savage are absolutely unforgettable.

I watched this movie again and was surprised how much I enjoyed this entertaining and sophisticated movie.  

I completed some research and come by the below information. 

' In 1996, 'The Deer Hunter' was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" '

A classical film that should be watched again to witness the change in 'men' after returning home from 'War'

Thank you for reading, 

Ben

Mankind Put an End to War

Mankind Put an End to War

'Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind' --- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

          Mr President 

I'd like to ask a few questions, and answer them.  

Let me know please, if I am on the 'right track'. 

Question 1:

What is war?

Answer: 

War is a conflict situation, where nations or opposing parties carry on a 'force of arms', to resolve a bitter situation. 

Q2:

Can a 'situation' be resolved without war?

A2:

Absolutely, the opposing nations need to think about the consequences to their own people and truelly and willingly resolve the conflict by discussion. 

Q3:

Why are our leaders 'justifying' a right to go to war still?

A3:

I have included a paragraph from the book 'War is a Racket', written by General Smedley Butler, 

'War is a racket.  It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.  It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives'. 

Q4:

Is it time that we put an to 'war' and resolve a 'conflict' by discussion.

A4:

Yes, it is time our leaders used this strategy. 

Sincerely, 

Ben

Aviator Vecihi Hurkus

Aviator Vecihi Hurkus

Today, I will write about Mr. ‘Vecihi Hurkus’,

Who? I can hear 'you' asking me.

Vecihi Hurkus, I say.

Let me begin.

This gentleman was born on January 6, 1895, in the city of Istanbul, Ottoman-Turkey.  He holds the title for building the very first plane in this country.  

Mr. Hurkus, which translates to English, to mean 'Freebird', graduated from the Ottoman Empire’s prestigious ‘Tayyare Mektebi’ Aviation school. 

He joined the 9’Th Combat Aircraft Platoon in 1918 and here; he managed to design a fighter airplane.

After World War I, and despite many many obstacles, he designed and built the first airplane.  

He was the founder of ‘Hurkus Havayollari', which is translated to English to mean 'Freebird Airlines’ in the year 1954.

Amazing achievement for an individual, which I was ignorant of until reading a ‘enlightening’ article in a newspaper.  

I thought to share.

Sincerely.

Syrian Refugees in Camps

Syrian Refugees in Camps

I wanted to write and bring further attention to a concern I have read in numerous articles.  

There is a snow storm in the Middle-East right now.  

The Syrian refugees who have fled their country, due to the 'civil war', are now, in even more hardship.  

I am concerned for the well-being of the Syrian refugees, who are living in tents, under cold temperatures, in refugee camps in the countries of Turkey and Lebanon.  

There are families with children, who are affected by the cold and the living conditions in these refugee camps, as they were not prepared for the 'blizzard' like conditions. 

There are extreme hardship conditions within the camps, currently.  

I further read that the United Nations, alongside numerous Aid Agencies, are distributing blankets, sheets, heaters and clothing; however there are not enough items for everyone within the camps.  

What can we do?, living so very far away from the Refugee Camps.  

One answer is, we can pray for them.  

Also, we can search on the net for 'Charities', whose mission is helping people of Syria; and making a donation, in this 'Giving' season.  

I hope we all live to see a day of 'no wars'.  

Thank you for reading.
