Pandemic Solidarity Then Ukraine War

-


There is no need for war because circumstances have changed. America, which decides which country is spared and which country is bombed to the ground determines the change. America has decided that humanity has changed. It is no longer male and female. It is now a tongue twister LGB alphabet, Biden and NATO presidents cannot pronounce.

If America is so powerful that it can alter nature, it should admit that there’s no need for war anymore. Technology has made army generals redundant. We live, learn, play, laugh and love online. We don’t screen followers by race, flag or country ideology. We laugh when we see cute kids . We don’t say this one is not funny because he looks Japanese or white. They are just kids. Reliance on technology was at its peak in 2020, during the pandemic. We were told COVID-19 was a virus that killed the whole world, indiscriminately.

The pandemic is over, and here we are. The U.S. presses the reverse gear, and the car is back to Biden is democracy, Putin is communism. In between is Volodymry Zelensky, who laid off key security staff in 2019 in order to prepare for the Americanization of eastern Europe. Although he was still a comedian and actor in 2014, he knows what happened in his country that year.

War is not a state of conflict. It is a means of employment for army generals and industries that make army tanks, planes, espionage gadgets, drones, bombs, dried food and army uniforms. They will join unemployment lines if they don’t advise Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Biden to kill civilians in foreign lands.

Biden should not be sending cluster bombs to Ukraine to use against Russia. He should be explaining why the world should be one world when there’s a COVID-19 pandemic, then revert to ‘us and them’ democracy vs communism, after we are all vaccinated with vaccines made in America.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
