Oh No Not Me ! Never Me !

Cat's in the Cradle !
                                                                             When is it the right time to start appreciating the things that have shaped our lives ? When is the right time to be able to speak and emotionalize about people who have impressed us , or who were simply there for us when no one else seemed in any way interested about how we might possibly develop ? We all know for instance how maybe a sister or brother , showed that interest in us that could have been sadly lacking from someone else we might always have expected to be our greatest protector and supporter . Alas in a lot of cases we were left to pursue a lot of the things that could have been our greatest achievement as a child or a teenager , alone and without the support one might expect from a parent or elder sibling .
                                                                            I know it's easy to explain away the reasons for that lack of support . For Example , someone is working and therefore hasn't really got the time . The person or people in question have absolutely no understanding or knowledge of who you are trying to be . What you are trying to achieve , or put simply why you might be doing something like this in the first place . I can only imagine or deduce from my memories , because of the age I am now , and being able to look back because I maybe have too much time on my hands , that having a parent who had lets say , other things to do , was as acceptable back then , as I feel how unacceptable it is now . The Harry Chapin song " Cat's in the Cradle " kinda springs to mind .
                                                                           So when I see things developing in that same kinda manner , I feel it necessary to say something about it . As a parent , and with all of the goodwill in the world , it will never be enough for us just to make that expected effort so as to convince children of our honest and concerned intentions .There has to be total commitment to the development of the happy side of parenting . The side of parenting that requires no rules , no deadlines , no restrictions , and most importantly no punishment . Parents tend to assume that because children are exactly that , Children , that they can be easily persuaded when it comes to your involvement with them , or as may be the case your Lack of involvement with them . Oh from experience , they are a lot more clever than people give them credit for . And yes they hold grudges , and yes they do blame parents when something is as they see it quite easily postponed , and in a lot of cases , without an honest or true explanation .
                                                                        If there is anything in this piece that feels a little too familiar to you

. I advise you to buy , download or steal a copy of Harry Chapin's Cat's in the Cradle . Listen to it . Live it . And when you have understood all there is to understand , promise yourself , Oh no not me . Never me !
                                                                         
No need to examine or analyze me , I am Well Beyond That !

Zionism and its Supporters , A Cancer That Needs Extracting !

When you see countries committing indefensible acts on their fellow human beings , something must be said . Not just in objection to those acts , but to remind everyone exactly how evil a position can be taken by supposed civilized societies . Take the Jews for instance , because they suffered at the hands of the Nazi's , the world welcomed the survivors and leaders with open arms , saying this will never happen again . This statement in itself was to be commended and lauded by anyone with a hint of decency . The Germans had done to them things that should never be spoken off . But lest we forget , this is an example of how one society can turn on another at the drop of a hat . Now lets start thinking hypothetically , take your own country wherever you may be , lets just take the Good Old U.S.of A for example , and for the sake of argument you don't happen to be a world power with nuclear weapons and such .There you are minding your own business , and the United Nations

Happiest of New Years Everybody !

                                                                    In the huge scheme of things we live our lives in a way that has been somehow mapped out for us .  We wake every day and do the things that are expected to be done by others , but mostly by ourselves . Most of the time we are pleased by our efforts , and sometimes we just let ourselves down . And that's okay too , because we're not as perfect as we would like to be , or as others might expect us to be . We are as good as we want ourselves to be , or as we hope ourselves to be .                                                                    Now at this time of year I tend to get a little sentimental about stuff . You know what I'm talking about ? Family , the future , the dog and I suppose a little about our own mortality . The rest of the year seemingly it simply doesn't seem to matter . Christmas and even more importantly the change over from one year to another is so deep in our character and

Every one A LYING BASTARD !                                                              Well Barack how do you feel about the fact that I have taken over the mantle with regard to Syria and their continuous problems ? To be honest Vlad I was wondering myself when and not if you were going to get involved . I mean we have fucked up so much over there , and the blame as always is thrown straight at me . You do understand that my advisers have advised me very badly , and I now get the suspicion that somebody wants to take me out . Yes , these are the things that we have to put up with , but to be honest I'm amazed that you and those imbeciles you represent are still alive . Now what and who would you be referring to Vlad ? The Rothschilds and the Rockefeller's of course , sure there the same people that have put you in so much bother , I mean anyone can see that . They have always only had one mission in life , and as we all know that was to control the monetary systems thro
