“Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds.” The words uttered by Julius Robert Oppenheimer , sometime after he helped create the first atomic bomb and finally realized the Pandora’s box he had opened. Greek mythology credits a female called Pandora with opening a box that let out all that was evil into the world. The words are from the Hindu scriptures known as the “ Bhagavad Gita ”, a conscientious precursor to Machiavelli’s “ The Prince ”. Yet the truth is that man is a week creature not accustomed to accepting failure, thus the unleashing of all evil was scapegoated upon poor unsuspecting Pandora, who, in her turn was but a pawn in the hands of the Olympian gods to upset the balance of nature and the wisdom of an early form of a Christ like figure, Prometheus, giver of the flame of knowledge, a possible minor equivalent to the biblical eve and the tree of knowledge . Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds. The words ring in my ears as I witness the events of t...

Is this the turning point? For Israel , for the Palestinians , for the US , for the world ? The Arab Spring was the first sign of the massive worldwide change that is almost upon or door step? Maybe the Mayans where right. Maybe what we are about to witness will be the end of the world as we know it. As we know it from our current unenlightened and single minded perspective. What if everything was about to change? EVERYTHING. Surely any change is an end of what we know. But like anything and everything in the universe, there exists a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. A star lives its life until it consumes all its fuels and then explodes in a massive super nova ball of fire from which a nebula is born, a nebula from which new stars are born. With every death there are more reborn. Life falling into death and death falling into life. The hunter and the goddess. Everything is changing everything else. All falling together in to a spiral of eternity. Not a circle, for in a circl...

It really stumps my mind every time someone commits an atrocity on any scale. My thoughts go out to the victims and families of this heinous act.  Anders Behring Breivik, 32, carried out a double, premeditated act of terror against his fellow country men and women. He has already admitted to the attacks and has stated that it was "necessary" to carry out such a terrible act and claims that all his reason shall be made public when the court hearing starts.  His Facebook page already draws an unkind picture of him. He associates with the likes of bigoted groups like the English Defence League and Geert Wilders' Freedom Party. These are ultra-nationalist groups who believe tin the superiority of their race and culture over that of others, which ever way they wish to describe themselves, bigotry, really, is the only word that truly de...

I seam to be on a "MAD" tangent... but here goes anyway....... If what CIA man Robert Baer Sais is true; That the current rightwing Israeli government is planning on attacking Iran's nuclear facilities this fall, then for certain, the world will be going to hell. For those of you who think the world has already gone to hell I tell you that what is coming if the Israelis do attack Iran is far worse than anything we have seen so far. The Israelis, without thinking of the consequences, plan to do this attack as a way to divert attention and swart the efforts of the Palestinian declaration of statehood expected this September. Undoubtedly the US will be forcibly drawn in to this war. The Israelis are once again pursuing the wrong approach out of their arrogance and unwillingness to compromise for the cause of peace. Netanyahu’s rightwing government would rather condemn the world to darkness rather than make peace with the Palestinians, as they should have done more than...

Mad with the desire to be consumed in the flames of passion, yet the flames are out of my reach.  I feel my body stirring. I know I am about to explode in to a brilliant ball of light.   The longing of my heart, consumed in those flames, yearns for to be lost in the oblivion of her eyes. consumed, my soul yearns, to warp it self around the giver of life, the light that haunts my dreams and humbles me before the ecstasy of her power over me.  I am going mad, anticipating her next move. will she accept me, bring my cold body in to the warmth of her terrifying heart?  willfully I await my destruction. will she deny me, and thus condemn me to in to Hades care? I know not and care not for I am lost in the oblivion of her eyes. Will she ignite my passionate heart like a star born in the loins of of Andromeda's nebulous womb? will she deliver me from the madness that now ...

I have come to an important realization. I started this blog in an effort to vent my emotional frustrations born out of reading the news or every day events that make me cringe with emotional pain. The idea is a good exercise for me, a dyslexic who learns everything intuitively and more poignantly learns everything emotionally.   My moods swing as a result external emotional stimuli which triggers my complicated brain mechanism. Complicated not necessarily superior but capable of performing in unique ways that others cannot. My emotions are intense and I try to keep them at bay as best I can. But under such constant emotional pressure I need to vent it somehow or ells I will pay for it dearly with physical illness. I am a nonviolent person, I would like to think of myself as a pacifist and for the most part I am. So writing was the obvious choice for many reasons. It would help me improve my writing skills which I depend upon a lot, and it would allow me to find a way to comm...

My brain has crashed with the overload of information of news, thoughts, and feelings.  The hard thing about reading the news is that I get too worked up, especially when I see horrible situations that could, or rather should, be better.  I have always dreamed that I can help change the world for the better.  But I realized long ago that the world will go as it wills and not as we would have it. Still that does not stop me from trying and getting so worked up that I loose perspective and myself in an endless spiral of disparity and despair. Its time reboot my brain.

Israel seems to be not only "allegedly" involving itself in cross-national attempts of sabotage , as witnessed last week, but also exerting a harsh diplomatic effort to prevent the flotilla from reaching Gaza.  Obviously, the Israelis do not want a repeat of last year’s fiasco and are thus trying their best to prevent the Flotilla from sailing on to its intended purpose. If the Flotilla does move and reach Israeli waters, all eyes are going to be fixed on the way Israel handles this event with great scrutiny, not something the Israelis want. To the extent that the Flotilla might actually succeed when they find that the Israeli forces are being cautiously timid in front of the eyes of the media.  Israel has recently attempted to discredit the Flotilla by spinning its propaganda machine as best it could. A video, allegedly made by a gay participant claiming that the Flotilla organizers rejected his participation on the grounds of his sexual orientation and accusing the orga...
