Shoah Remembrance

The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah,[b]was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.[a][c] The murders were carried out in pogroms and mass shootings; by a policy of extermination through work in concentration camps; and in gas chambers and gas vans in German extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz, Bełżec, Chełmno, Majdanek, Sobibór, and Treblinka in occupied Poland.[5]

The Holocaust has shown us that the frustrations of the majority are allowed to flourish and not addressed immediately it can create a lot of destruction on others whom the Majority loathes. 

It was a very dark time in the 20th century where 6 million Eastern European Jews were systematically killed by Nazi Germany through state sponsored terrorism and genocide and another 11 million died as well; Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, Slavs, Communists, Liberals, Homosexuals, Mentally and Physically Disabled etc. 

We have to work hard to ensure that nothing like this happens again not just in other parts of the world but in the United States. Donald Trump has become in many ways the new Furher of the Fourth Reich here in the United States. He's using the mass media, using the Christian Right and taking over the Republican Party and transforming it into the Party of Trump. Instead of Jews being demonized its Hispanics, Muslims, Liberals, Gays, Critics of Trump and the Republican Party whom he has called as enemies of the state and feeding on the frustrations of the majority of Americans to have hatred and anger towards these groups where its gotten very dangerous in many parts of the country. 

I pray that our democratic institutions learn from the past and not repeat the same mistakes from the past. When Fascism is allowed to grow it creates destruction in its path and nobody is spared.

Manifest Destiny Must Go Away




Washington Continues To Create Enemies

Three people that Washington hated; Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, Fidel Castro of Cuba & Pedro Albizu Campos of Puerto Rico. What the three leaders had in common is that they stood up to American Imperialism and wanted independence for their people. 

Iran was under the influence of Washington and London through their proxy puppet the Shah, Cuba under Bastista and Puerto Rico under U.S. Military Governors prior to the creation of the Commonwealth by Puerto Rico's first democratically elected leader Luis Munoz Marin. 

What Americans fail to understand and realize is when they interfere in the personal affairs of other countries it usually backfires and causes hatred and distrust by the people of those sovereign countries. The United States government has no right to dictate to other countries what to do let alone try to assassinate, overthrow or influence the Democratic institutions of the countries. Let the people of those countries decide for themselves who they want to elect to represent them and allow democratic institutions to grow in order for those countries to prosper and create living wages, a good standard of living and a good quality of life.

American Right Wing Conservatives Destroying Our Democracy



United States Leads Towards Despotism

The erosion of American Democracy, since the election of Donald Trump I've seen many changes in our government and the union between corporation and state. Fascism has been embraced and racism has become tolerated and accepted as patriotic. When a society leads towards despotism respect towards the individual decreases. 

American Right Wing Conservatives have conditioned the masses that rich liberals own everything, the mass media and the wealth in the country and everything that the American People have worked hard for will be given away to illegal immigrants. 

When Americans quality of life goes down, wages go down they blame others and right now Hispanics are being blamed for the decline of the standard of living and the unemployment. Trump has united the American People against Hispanics, Muslims, Liberals, Gays, Jews etc that they are cause of the country's problems. 

Slowly our institutions are breaking apart in favor of Fascism and Corporatism and no matter what Trump or the Far Right says they don't believe in civil rights or civil liberties, they don't want protections for minorities or for workers they only answer to the Corporations. 

Our constitution speaks against the establishment of corporations why are they allowed? Why are corporations influencing our government, laws, education and health care? Why is it that no candidate or politician speaks against the evil of corporations? Because Fascism controls our current system and any criticism is seen as unpatriotic and Un-American. Its a real problem where criticism of despotism is seen as unpatriotic. That shows how Americans have unconsciously embraced Fascism without realizing and that's dangerous to our country and our democracy.

Coronavirus: New Plague of 21st Century



Coronavirus: New Menace To Society

This year began in a very interesting way, we almost had WW3 when President Trump decided to assassinate Gen Solemeni of Iran in Iraq and there were heighten tensions with Iran and afterwards this mysterious virus out of China starts infecting people left and right and people started dying like flies then it spread to other parts of Asia then to Europe and the rest of the world.

What is the Coronavirus? Where did it come from? And why are people scared of it?  The Coronavirus according to the WHO and CDC is a respiratory virus that infects the lungs and causes major lung damage to the point that people cannot breathe and people just die from the lack of oxygen. The virus has been linked from two sources a Bat that passed along the virus to the Pangolin and it passed on to humans through the consumption of Pangolin Meat. 

In China there was a lucrative market for Wildlife both legal and illegal, since the 1970s China made many economic reforms where people were able to buy and sell Wildlife and many people raised many animals for its meat and for traditional Chinese Medicine. The Wet Markets that China had weren't up to code in hygiene, many of these animals were boxed as sardines in a can in cages many of them in very deplorable conditions, many of these animals were sick, many died being in those cages and the people handling these animals weren't using the proper safety guards such as masks or gloves and many of those workers got sick. 

The Coronavirus is the biggest plague and deadliest disease in the 21st Century because of the magnitude of the severity of this disease. It's highly contiguous to the point that people have to self quarantine and people can be near each other or touch each other. 

It's also had an economical impact as well, many non essential businesses have shut down putting millions of people out of work, social ramifications people cannot be outside in large numbers due to risk of infection and the people suffering the most are the elderly, people with pre-existing conditions and the homeless. 

Because of greed and selfishness of others millions of people are paying for this virus many with their lives, the immoral and unethical treatment of animals and the cruelty these animals have been facing for the consumption of their meat is beyond appalling. I believe the Chinese Government has realized too late what this virus has done and it could lead to their downfall if they don't get their act together. 

I believe this virus will unite people both enemies and allies to fight a common cause against a common enemy, Coronavirus knows no borders, race, creed, political affiliation or economic status or caste its affecting everyone. We are all human beings and God's children and now we will be judged how we treat one another. 

Blasphemy Laws or Freedom of Speech?




Blaspheme or Not To Blaspheme?

Blasphemy Laws, what are they? and why do they exist? Many countries in the developed world we have freedom of speech where people can express themselves freely without fear of persecution from the law. But in many countries there are laws on the books called Blasphemy Laws which criminalizes speech against religion, dogma and holy books i;e Bible, Quran, Torah etc. 

Many countries practically in the Islamic World and Autocratic Countries like Russia where there is a national church, many Religious Extremists have used the Blasphemy Laws to prosecute people they don't like or to deter free speech by calling it hate speech. Many innocent people are in prison right now and many have been executed because they simply choose to criticize religion or simply question it. I am a religious person by faith and I believe in what the bible says is true but I also believe God gives free will to people he doesn't force people to love him or to worship him and people should be free to be religious or not religious if they choose to and people have the right to criticize religion even if it's blasphemous. 

We don't live in the dark ages anymore and we need to move past from what we think is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Many Religious Extremists that hold a lot of influence want to induce governments to be on their favor and restrict freedom of speech based morality and religion but they are not doing it because they love God or want to be an example its about having control on others.
