The pay back

The Adelsons, a rich Jewish family in the USA
Gave millions of dollars to Trump with the understanding of let Israelis move into the West Bank as we see the IDF are moving in there
Killing many, trying to dislodge the Palestinians
It appears what the failed to do in Gaza
The military are now brutalizing the local people, which is against the law, that as we know Israel does not respect

The brave citizen

The strength
Of the Palestinians
The strongest people
In the world
Women suffer the most
Dead children do not cry
Gaza is a ruin
The Gazans
Love their land
They will stay here…Until?

Flying to Mars

There was a young man popular among the girls
But he overlooked them because his dream was to reach the moon and beyond
To do this he needed the feathers of the paradise bird, they were colorful, and made him look handsome, but he needed the stronger feathers of the eagle
When he was ready, he climbed a pile of rocks
The legend said had fallen from the sky a day in May 500 years ago
The girls were there admiring his plumage some
Nervous elders too begging him, not to try this foolish thing
The young, brave man flapped his wings and under breathless silence from the onlooker took flight and watched him to where the sky
Got hazy
The next morning the village woke up to a bang
They found the burned body which had flowed too near the sun on his way to Mars, his name was not Icarus but Elon Musk

All the king's men

Looking at the photo of over-rich people they do look, quite normal except their lives are not
I think it is worse, long and boring days punctuated by the perches of another luxury
Objects like yachts go to sea and get bored and after days, birth the **** thing out of sight, buy a car that doesn’t need a driver and can fly as well
To be wealthy to the point one has nothing sensible to do is bad for the well-being of man Except Elon Musk who is manically busy with Everything and politics
When other oligarchs fall in line behind the new king, Elon Musk follows his own plan, perhaps dethrone the king, take the rain, and carry until
He goes too far and challenges God to a duel
On Mars

The man and his time
So many things are said about Elon Musk
For a few years, he involved himself with smaller businesses promising people a car if they bought something online, he had pointed but his heart was not in it, and a bored Elon       Is not a nice person
One of his flaws is that he dislikes critical remarks, but he also dislikes those who automatically because of his wealth
One thing one notices is that in public and
He likes being in public but comes across as awkward because he lacks the natural charisma of Trump
That is why when he appears on stage he looks
I’ll be at ease when jumping up and down trying to look like one of the crowds his audience laughs out of politeness and applaud
But they came to see Trump and he is a side figure
I think it was a mistake by Musk to get too involved in politics, getting taken by the lure
Of power taken on a role as Tzar that will backfire sooner or later and cause a split between Trump and Musk
He might find himself as a fall guy when things
Goes wrong
Elon Musk is forward-looking he wants to import workers from Asia for his plants in Texas
Therefore, try to change or shall we say to international workers that makes it possible to import workers and pay them less
This has been done before in the sixties and the seventies, the Norwegian shipping and crew
Replaced American shipping that was reduced to almost nothing
Eventually, wages became too high, and American business shifted to using the Panama flag to carry goods around the world at a much
Lower cost, Musk is in good company here
We cannot blame him for this after it is capitalism getting a better deal
If he can make, an agreement that temporarily
and Legally he can get  a thousand Asians to work in his factory in Texas, the better for him

The academic
Chris Hedge is an active academic to the left of
Politics, who often lament that we common people know nothing about what the greedy Capitalists are up to when seeking wealth and more power treating us ordinary people like pawns in their evil monopoly game
Agree, to understand politics these days and understand what Chris says, we have to read and study a lot of literature that we, since we have to make a living have no time to do
Yes we do wonder why China is the enemy we like to buy their stuff and appears not to be a threat, I bought my son an electric bike, likes the bike also he likes TIK Tok which the government has banished as bad for viewers
We need someone, perhaps not as erudite as Chris Hodge, in a simple vocabulary, tell us what what’s going on
Tomorrow America is getting a new president
In the figure of Donald Trump, which we who
Liked to be entertained, rather like
He has already fixed the Gaza atrocities and
We wait for him to fix Ukraine to
He has also appointed Elon Musk to save the USA from waste of money, we are glad to hear that if it can lower the tax burden
At the moment we can do nothing but wait
I sense for most of the world it does not matter much who is the sitting president

The Room

Many hospitals have a room away from the daily hustle and bustle of accidents and ill health
A room that has comfortable deep chairs, where the light is not bright, nor is too hot or too cold, staffed by top professional nurses
Here they can come, those with chronic pain
And those who cannot be cured, can sit pain-free for some hours, and sink into a mild euphoria
This room has no place for religion or fear
of Darkness, a blessed room for those modern medicine can do no more
