Those who currently oppose President Obama and his supporters on the issue of the current health reform that our President is trying to pass through Congress do not care about the general population nor do they truly care what happens in our country.

All that these individuals and groups do care about is the fact that their taxes might go up to support this health reform and the fact that their companies and organizations might make less income from such a reform. For that matter, it might also affect the many insurance companies, other health organizations and their pockets so again these detractors choose to go against this reform bill.

Meanwhile millions of average citizens suffer in silence with their various medical ailments. They have no choices to obtain more affordable health care to fix these problems which eventually lead to further illnesses and a loss of hope.

It is obvious that this health reform will increase the expenditure as all reforms do, but if we as a country do not pull our resources together to support such a cause for the good of the American people – then the situation can only get worse and it does affect all of us – from small businesses to large corporations and the senior citizens of this country.

It’s about time for these detractors to stop thinking about “me” only, instead they should come together as a nation and put aside their greed, and consider the wellbeing of America as a whole.

If these ones who preach God and his goodness as God- fearing Christians, then it is about time to show that goodness and consider the love of thy neighbor and give back a little of what you have had the good fortune to obtain from your level of existence which God has graciously graced you with. Yes, taxes might be raised for this reform but consider what good it will do for this nation and its less fortunate citizens who have helped make your companies richer by way of their hard labor and sweat!

And if you need a further eye-opener to see where this nation has gone when it comes to the deteriorating health services in this country – then you should perhaps watch the documentary made by Michael Moore called Sicko (it can be found on google search – see the synopsis of this documentary in this posting). It is indeed shameful that such a great nation as ours has a large population of greed mongers who exist just for their self serving needs and wants.

So if these ones have a conscience then it is time to step up to the plate and support our President’s reform bill for the betterment of our fellow citizens. It might be the best God- guided deed that they might have ever done in their lives.

Put aside your differences for the love of thy neighbor and support our President, as he and his supporters are trying to make this country a better place for all Americans and for the generations to come.

This is not the time to practice dissension but rather a common mind for the good of our country and the majority of population. The select few and the elect few in this nation should stop their greed but instead be true to what they preach – their love of God and his goodness.

SICKO – A documentary by Michael Moore
Health care is a universal need, but the US hasn’t found a universal solution. Filmmaker Michael Moore shows that an astonishing number of American citizens cannot afford health insurance, and that too many who have managed to get it are often denied coverage by the insurers in whose care they’ve placed their trust–and invested their money. The specific cases followed are heartbreaking and shocking and, throughout the film, you develop an understanding that this could, indeed, happen to you and your loved ones. This is one documentary that everyone should see.

Predicament of Afghanistan:

Beneath the surface lies a complex “cat and mouse game” being played out amongst the tribal leaders and the Taliban as well as the Al-Qaida leaders. Perhaps unbeknownst to the top commanders in our US military forces, these tribal leaders have behind closed-door on-going deals with some of the Taliban and Al-Qaida leaders if not all of them, whereby these opposition leaders are paid in some form and manner for their cooperation with the tribal leaders. In the underpinnings of such arrangements – the tribal leaders and the opposition forces benefit and that is very much due to the taxpayers’ dollars spent in that region to pay for such collusive agreements (military war spending budget). Obviously our government and our US military do not have access to such information of the arrangements made between the tribal leaders and these militants.

It is such a predicament for our US military to be lured into and caught up in this massive cat and mouse game without their approval or their knowledge. Much information fed to our US forces has little and or no real value except on the surface it looks like valuable and results producing information. For example, when a batch of militants in some target zone are captured by our soldiers – these are the ones set up for the sacrifice – they are usually new fresh recruits of the opposition forces or sometimes the more expandable older ones as well who prove to be of no real value any longer to the Taliban or the Al-Qaida for whatever reason.

This is a typical collusive game being played out whereby the tribal leader makes an agreement with the Taliban leader or the AL-Qaida leader that for their share of funds, they need to sacrifice a group of their forces for the slaughterhouse to make the US forces believe that the tribal leader is doing his job for the US Government under the guise of his cooperative effort. In such an instance, most new recruits are set up to be targeted by the US forces. This information is then given to our US military that will send troops to a certain location to attack and kill or capture these militants. Naturedly these sacrificial recruits of the opposition militants are not in the loop about such arrangements being made amongst their Taliban or Al-Qaida leader and the tribal leader believed to be working in favor of our US military.

The losers in this game are of course the unknowing militant opposition forces set up for the slaughter when necessary, so the leaders in the Taliban and the Al-Qaida groups can be paid their share of funds needed to maintain their existence and continued recruitment of new recruits. These funds are paid through the tribal leaders to them without the knowledge of our US commanders or their support counterparts (the lower rung of the command chain). Our commanders are often told by the tribal leaders that funds are needed for their continued cooperation and support of our US forces and the delivery of valuable information (e.g. where the next hot bed of Taliban or Al-Qaida forces is situated, ready to be infiltrated and targeted).

This in itself becomes an unending war which locks the US military in that region for countless years, whilst feeding these tribal leaders who are supposedly working with our government to squash the opposition forces and the ever growing terrorism in that region.

So the key question remains – How do we end this madness and the waste of taxpayers’ dollars?
The next question for debate would be – perhaps to try and resolve this area – the tribal leaders should be the ones to be looked at much more intensely for their every move and communication. They should be watched very closely to see which ones are in this game and if they all are – just how involved are they with the opposition militant leaders? Then the next question to address would be – how truly dependable are the inside “local spies” used by our US forces effective in gathering True information versus what is fed to them as well?

Obviously, if the US government cuts off the monetary supply chain – then the tribal leaders stop their so-called cooperation and work to eradicate our forces instead (working in hand with the Taliban and Al-Qaida) which brings us back to step one of no real progress in that region.

It is an extreme disadvantage for our US military befriending a possible enemy, making compromises in hopes of real progress in that region. They do not have the upper hand to resolve and end this war, nor the real power to control and end the cat and mouse game being played under their noses!

Though however, the current efforts expanded in that region that does show promise and progress with taxpayers’ funds is the rebuilding of their infrastructure and the community services for the people of that region. This move by our US government and their global counterparts as active participants to rebuild Afghanistan does encourage the citizens of Afghanistan to have renewed hopes for their war torn birth land.

Their children might have a chance to see a new Afghanistan and perhaps have a new mindset of how life should be in that region versus how it is now. In doing so and given a chance, a younger generation could emerge to proactively work with their government to eradicate the terrorism mentality that currently exists in their society and permeating every aspect of their daily lives.

In summary, this could be a reality if the global community cares enough to expand the needed and continued efforts to see this through for the people of Afghanistan. This will definitely be a big leap in the direction of squashing out the terrorism at best in that region, but if not, possibly keeping it in a containable situation where fewer lives are taken and innocent civilians are protected from such destruction. On a positive note, the younger generation might see other ways to exist then to maintain a terroristic mentality and to continue to support such destructive factions in the region.

People Power rise to reclaim their Freedom and their Voice:

With the issue of the current Iranian situation, all will come to a semblance within a two year time frame. The current regime will be ousted and completely dissolved including the powers that the current religious leader holds at this time.

The citizens of Iran will over power this regime over the course of possible soon to be massive countrywide revolution. The days of this current regime are numbered and the current re-elected president – Ahmadinejad will be ousted and sent to prison for his crimes towards humanity. He too as the days progress will turn against the current religious leader in a tug of war for sole authoritarian power. The religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will be sent into isolation never allowed again to rise to influence the mindsets of the people of Iran of either side. He will live in isolated exile for his remaining days.

In the making of the future of the new Iran, there will come many changes in that part of the world and their country history where a new generation will rise to influence the decisions of the new governing body – one that is democratic and willing to be a participating member of the world nations without further isolation of any degree or defiance to their brother and sister nations of the world but instead a new understanding, respect and joint world efforts to embrace solidarity for balance and peace.

This will be the new Iran welcomed by all nations and peace will be the trademark of this new nation of Iran. The clock has begun its journey – many will live to see their younger generations grow up in a new Iran of peace and harmony and a willingness to work with all their fellow neighbors for the mutual benefit of their citizens and for mankind as well.

It will be a victory that will go down in history as Iran becomes the next nation to embrace world society with open arms with the understanding that they do play an important role as other nations do on planet earth for the betterment of mankind as a whole.

These two factions are like children that do not get what they want and so they act up, over and over again. The way I see it is, if these two factions persist in taking innocent lives – they should be punished equally without any favoritism in any form or manner by the world nations, meaning treat them as they insist on being treated!

Regulations set down should apply to both sides equally regardless of who started the first attack or instigated the first attack. Sanctions should be applied to both sides equally in the name of humanity and the saving of innocent lives lost.

So if they continue after another so called “cease fire” – then the same sanctions will again apply to both sides to reprimand them equally.

In doing so, perhaps we can see a lessening of the terror attacks around the world as the world nations do not allow themselves to participate in favoring one faction over the other nor encouraging such destructive behavior by rewarding one side or the other.

Or the world can stand aside and allow these two factions to continue the destruction of each other and themselves, taking many innocent lives along the way and the world is supposed to feel sorry for the choices they make – where is the reason in that mind set?

No reason is good enough for the actions that cause such destruction to humanity. The real irony of it is, to have loyal support and supporters (at the highest levels) condoning silently and even with such hypocrisy giving silent approval to allow this situation to progress further, time and time again!

Remember, no reason is good enough and all people are created equal in god’s eyes regardless of what god it is or the name it is called.

Peace is not a cheap commodity that can be taken for granted. The nations must come forth, and be rigorous in their efforts to maintain this priceless commodity at all costs by letting know, the nations that regard Peace as a sham and treat it with not the respect it deserves, but instead bury it in the many piles of destructive venom which spreads like a poison and infects all peoples and mindsets.

The irony of it is that the so-called ‘holy land’ regarded by the three main religions in that region has become the ‘hell’ (many talk about upon their demise which they hope not to go to) instead of the ‘bridge to heaven’ as it has been regarded since the beginning of time.

Are these peoples then all hypocrites vowing their legion to their god and or religion but then committing the worst of massacres in the name of their god and religion? Where is the logic in that? Did god create mankind so one can conquer the other while creating hell on earth for all to experience in one form or another?

Mankind has truly proven that they are worse than the animals that exist. Violence does not solve issues but creates bigger ones, and ultimately, becomes the unstoppable venom that even their god could not and would not lend a hand to solve. So hell is here not upon their demise and when they do pass on, they will certainly not land in heaven as their god has often said – “ask for forgiveness and your soul shall be absolved (as in the last rites). Meanwhile in all the decades of your earthly existence, do all the evil your conscience (if you have one) can seemingly justify and then still feel welcome to enter heaven!”

It is truly appalling that religion is used as an excuse to initiate actions of mass destruction from any and all sides, whether seen as a possible solution to end violence because it never does and it is not the solution, yet we close a blind eye and allow it to continue.

Maybe the world leaders should stop instigating their people and their forces and conditioning them to act in such a fashion, before they go pointing fingers at another race, religion, militant group or otherwise. Maybe then, world peace in every region globally can be achieved and maintained for the generations to come.

Bottom line – change we must in a global manner, and practice the mind condition that supports peace and the constructive rebuilding of planet earth, BUT definitely avoid any and all mind conditions that spell violence and the spread of a venom that will ultimately destroy us all.

The Hamas and or Palestinians and Israelis will always be at war. This is one area that shall outlive our generation and travel into the next.

Eventually the outcome will be – the middle-east nations will be taking sides with the Hamas and or Palestinians and going against any western nation that sides with Israel.

So the wars in that region will continue and there will be no resolution until one faction destroys the other.

USA and all the members of United Nations could not solve this problem then, now, or ever, except achieve temporary peace between the parties till the next uprising.

It’s a pity that there is such a great divide- all for land, religion and politics. Ultimately when the earth completes its rebirth – all such areas of dissension will receive its due rewards and or punishments where applicable by the universal forces that oversee our planet earth.

Unfortunately, there is no escape and for such deep embedded ignorance from these races of humanity – no real resolution but results of the worst kind can arise from their doings.

Meanwhile, common folk will suffer now and their descendants as well,  and eventually one race will wipe out the other or both will succeed in wiping each other out – into a diminished state of existence for either race and eventual extinction of the peoples in that region.

Food for thought:

Heaven is universal and whatever name you give it, it is still heaven to all the peoples of the world and in their separate religions, so eventually the good souls that have lived a decent human life will accent to their heaven accordingly. The bad souls that have lived a life of ignorance during their earthly existence will adjourn to a plane not so pleasant, some call it hell and others call it a variety of names according to the religion practiced while living.

Ultimately, material greed in any form is the biggest evil and weakness that human kind can punish themselves with because it is not a reward (though on the surface it may seem so), and the grasp for power is a lure that destroys all in one form or another when the chips are down, and there are no real winners and again it may seem so.

How much more our human race has to learn in their earthly existence is immeasurable, and until they have truly learned the great wisdom needed to be learned, practiced, and retained for their generations to inherit, will they find the true peace each seek and then the heavens will be at their feet and not unreachable as it is now.

So to the nations that create their own ‘Armageddon’, they will suffer, and suffer, and suffer with no peace in sight and they will not be adjourning to the heaven they believe that they will arrive at, upon their demise, but to another ‘hell’ they never thought could be.

The question remains – Which is more important to the human race, so deeply entrenched in their own Armageddon – their life on earth as they know now OR the journey after, where this will all be of no consequence?

The answers will vary depending on the level of greed and power so sought after while in their earthly existence BUT it is only part of the journey because their real journey has yet to begin!

Happy New Year to all my blog readers.  May 2009 bring you greater wisdom with true harmony and steadfast goodwill for your fellow man.

‘The price that is paid by their persecutors and shall be paid till all karmic balance is corrected.’

The persecution of Tibetans by the Chinese government is a crime against human rights, and much bad karma can only arise from such actions. The world’s human rights organizations should exert much more consorted efforts in this area to bring about the change needed for the freedom of religious expression in Tibet, and the re-installation of the Dalai Lama to the land of his birthright.

China has a limited view and a limited mindset to maintain such rigidity on this issue. The signs are there, as there will come further karmic retribution in this area from the forces of nature, as all men were made equal in god’s eyes. Their belief steeped in fear of religion and their belief that there is not the existence of a higher force is one of infinite ignorance.

So the people pay a price, for such rigid control initiated out of fear and through such mindsets – there arises their own ongoing, self-generated karmic negative cycle.

The universal forces have no sympathy for such a race of people, propelled by their government to subjugate the Tibetan people that do not ask much, but just to exist in harmony and with their beliefs in their God. If such a wrong is not corrected, much karmic retribution by the universal forces will occur endlessly till all is made right!

As shown, the signs are obvious- much turmoil within the energies surrounding the industries with the production of various consumer products; the sudden and extreme weather occurrences leading to earthquakes and other damaging extremities in various regions within their country; other upheavals yet to come that will cause much turmoil within various regions, and all generated by their own people, through unseen yet powerful universal forces in play- all part of a vicious karmic retribution.

So if they believe that there is not a higher force in existence, then they shall find that this cycle and cyclone will only gain in force and strength within the trail of rude awakenings.
