Simple facts that you can get documents
for by searching -The reasons we have high incidence of
hurricanes, floods, and other catastrophe is man made
climate change -The reason we are not doing much about
climate change is that there are greedy individuals who profit
from the trends -We have wars to distract us from
the inequalities and injustices and to make money for a few already very
rich people -There are no just wars. There are understandable and
justified resistance of native people to colonialism -
North Korea watched
what the US did in places like Libya (after Libya ended its nuclear
program), in Syria and in Iraq. North Korea learned from its own history
(US committed near genocide in the 1950s) and from these other attacks
and acted in its best interests.
-Israel is not an asset to the US or to any other
country but a liability. It is a country that supported genocide and
brutal dictatorships from South America in the 1970s to Burma/Myanmar
today. -A world Zionist network created Israel and
supports it at the cost of millions of native Arab rights -An axis of
resistance against Zionist imperialism does exist and
does have the support of most of the people (e.g. see growth of BDS
movement and public surveys) -An axis of collaboration,
lies, deceit, and murder does exist and has the support of most of the
regimes in the Arab world (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Egypt) as well
as regimes in Western countries (US, Britain, Australia, France)
-Demography has shifted around the world and thus most regimes move to
assert more government controls and less democracy. The best tool for
governments is to use perceived threats (previously communism, now Islam
and terrorism). False flag operations have thus gone
dramatically up. -For people to act is no longer a luxury but an
existential need to protect our species. The last two decades showed
that the schemes of the rich and powerful can delay freedom and damage
sustainability. Yet, we the people can and do succeed. People do make a
difference. If you think on all positive things in human history, they
all happened by people acting positively and challenging status
quo or rising up to help those in need. Apathy is an enemy
of progress, action works. We are hopeful because as Howard Zinn once
wrote (and I quoted it in my book “Sharing the Land of Canaan” in 2004):
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based
on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but
also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to
emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see
only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember
those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved
magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the
possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different
direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to
wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession
of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in
defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
Israel Justice Minister Shaked said the truth loud and clear:
Zionism contradicts human rights,
and thus is indeed an ultranationalist, colonialist and perhaps racist
movement http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/1.809867
