Syria and the refugee crisis, time to intervene

Not a day without living in the eye of the immigrant catastrophe, not a day without hearing an EU politician saying either "I don't want to make the European union a fortress" or "I don't think the union should close it's borders", not a day without hearing progress but failed attempts from Syria. The politician says one thing but make up deals in the complete different directions, smoothing it all over with propaganda about how many lives the border patrols saves daily. Leaders of the EU Schengen countries have finally come face to face with reality, the gravity of the situation, that is that there is a limit to what EU can take without falling apart, but before that facing a humanitarian disaster.

There seem to be only one solution, with as the first step a global military intervention in Syria, ridding Syria from ISIS, from all sort of militia and also the government of Bashar al Assad. Europe should take the lead as we are the ones that need a resolution, sit down with Russia, the USA, Turkey and Iran to cut a plan, assemble our armed forces for a D-day type operation on Syria. The only way to succeed is a massive ground force operation from all possible neighboring grounds. This should shorten the time for peace in Syria and Iraq, shorten suffering and providing for rebuilding of the war torn countries and families to return to their homes. The problem arisen in the region belongs to the USA a nation that forfeited its rights to lead or demand for a solution. The Syrian talks in Switzerland will probably go nowhere as few or none of the insurgent leaders will participate and definitely not ISIS. There are 2 monstrous problems here, Iran and Hezbollah but if lucky, the US may have pondered over this particular problem having some solutions in the pocket. Anything driven by religious faith will constitute big problems for a shorter term peaceful solution but I still believe we should do it.

An intervention as suggested will cost many young Europeans their life's but considering the option of doing nothing life's will be lost to an even greater extent and for variety of reasons. Refugees are already dying on the sea or on the road, unrest is spreading to peaceful nations like Sweden with riots, arson, stabbings and school-shootings from both sides of the society, residents as well as immigrants. Media's daily messages about fighting hate and racism to promote love and empathy does not work. The immigration authority in Sweden just started to keep the locations of new refugee camps secret and police is starting air surveillance of refugee camp sites for protection. Remember that being a military not is an ordinary job, it's tool is deadly force with the risk of own death. I hope that European young men and women applying for this job are taught that they may end up dead during missions. We have the military for the reason of protection and even if we like to call the military "defense forces" attack could be the only option to defend ourselves.

In the mean time all developed nations of the world must cooperate to divide up the load of refugees. Nations that sets themselves apart should be seen as capitalizing on the situation and punished in one way or another. Let us come together now, or never.

Homeland

And here we have a television series capitalizing on being at near real life. How easy it must be to be a screen writer jotting down what happened yesterday and adding a pitch to what the world would be the next day and having access to private advisers/contractors, think tanks and their likes making up the strategies for the CIA. To me Homeland is the "Big show of Horrors" reflecting what happened and still is happening in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Libya and of course in the eye of the hurricane, Israel.

I have never been at par with US geopolitical ambitions and watching this show, which I think I must see to get an understanding of the past 14 years it is utterly frustrating and painful as the show mimics what happened and still is happening. Is this show giving us something for forgiveness or is it throwing us into a complete delusional state about the world order. Is it meant to pour gasoline on a fire already out of control or is it intending to deliver the divine reasons for why the US is destabilizing a world already full of religious and ethnically divide? I think Homeland could be a fatal shot in the foot for the US society considering how I feel about watching it and how Arabs and Muslims seem to react to it.

Now getting back to the show itself, to Carrie Mathison the protagonist a sick person, a sociopath diagnosed with the bipolar disorder, a lunatic mass murderer when she doesn't take her medication, a pathetic sobbing child when she is on them again. Then we have Peter Quinn a psychopath serial killer robot that executes anything he is given order to exterminate, a real US patriot ready to kill his own children if they threatened the well being of the nation and finally Saul Berensen, a cold upper middle age CIA official that was Carrie's boss but still is Peter's boss with a burning libido to lay down and fuck his subordinate much younger female agents. Well, this is basically it, the heart of the US soul. I think I met all of those people during the times I was an alien resident of the United States, during 2 distinct periods, one short and the other much longer with my 2 first children born in Texas but also later when I was employed by the US subsidiary of my parent company with headquarters in Boston, I myself stationed in Stockholm Sweden responsible for the operation and development of the companies presence on the Internet. Most of the top people, that is the vice presidents for the various divisions seemed to be on drugs, which I believe they were, anything from Marijuana to Cocaine. Who knows, perhaps they were all bipolar? Since my first encounter with North American culture in 1977, working in Watsonville, CA (between Monterrey and San Jose), I had colleagues constantly on drugs 24 by 7, they even smoked during work hours. Next, 7 years later living and working in the states with Marijuana and Cocaine all around even at the work place. 13 years later with the Boston people on visit in Stockholm picking them up at their hotels for an evening out visiting the bathroom at their suits and seeing all those pills and bottles at the sink, I was amazed. Are we talking about a drug culture here with a paranoid fear for whatever? With people like that in the upper layers of a society, what is the outlook for a world in peace and order, none!

The show continued and in the last episode shown here in Sweden, Carrie figures out that she is the target for someone trying to eliminate her, to kill her, to kidnap her. She perceives that someone is coming for her, assembles and loads her stashed away sniper rifle with hard-point bullets, those that fired from a rifle at a short distance would penetrate any Kevlar armor. She hides in the bushes outside the apartment where she is living in secrecy. After some waiting a car drives up to her apartment and a dark hooded figure descends from the car. It is Peter Quinn of course given directions by Saul to kill or kidnap Carrie. Finally Carrie get's clear sight of the back of the assassin, fires, hits and brings the ghost killer down. She carefully approach the person down but when she is getting close, no body is to be found. She finds herself being trapped from behind by someone with a cord around her trout.

This leads me to the thesis that Homeland is nothing but keeping people at a state of suspense in their sofas, wanting nothing else than watching the next episode. Carrie is a lethal assassin, a marksman that never would pull the trigger unless a sure kill, yet Peter evades without being seriously hurt. Let them screen writers explain this! A long-barrel, a rifle, hard-point bullets in clear sight and at close range, explain that. Things like this easily pierces thick metallic armor at longer distances than in this flick. Now knowing this, don't hesitate on the trigger even if you know that your adversary is wearing a "bullet proof vest, he will surely die if you hit him right, in the chest or in the head with the bullet making a complete fly-through, bullet proof vest, helmet or not, This is the "cop-killer" set-up. Is it real? Yes it is real and meant to be by the military.

With this I cannot see the soap as anything else than making fuzz and money. There is no explanation of why the US ventured to destabilize and ravage the world, no attempt seeking forgiveness. Still we, the Rest of the World (ROW) is paying for an insult sold to us by a nation and people addicted to drugs.

Say no to this garbage, a mental drug for a world that doesn't want less than shelter, food, peace and a safe world for their children.

Oh, by the way, I was forgetting about a remarkable passage in this episode: as the German nation has been betrayed by its ally the USA by spying on its citizens a sacrifice is asked for. The US state department is urged to let someone leave the German territory. the CIA boss Saul Berensen is the appointed executioner and firstly decides to let the head of the agencies office in Berlin leave, then he changes his mind to have the US German Ambassador to leave the country. When Saul delivers the devastating message to the ambassador, the ambassador exclaims: - "you can't do this, the president owes me", Saul replies, not as much as you may believe, and leaves. This is from the horses mouth, that is from people that knows how the mechanics of the US nation works, something I have said so many times before, it is not the president that lead the nation but it's agencies and long-term administration with ten thousands of employees guided by history and threats to it's needs and geopolitical aspirations. The prominent's of the US lives a rich life having anything they would need, basically everything at no cost as they are insured as far as to fatalities. Big houses, big spending's, nice eating's, big cars, expensive cars, several cars per household, expensive vacations to anywhere, gardeners, cleaners, maids...There would be so much too loose to show weakness, to let go of the super power status the nation has enjoyed since WW2. The welfare state has turned into greed like in many commercials - talking to yourself in front of the bath-room mirror - I am proud of myself and I deserve it.

Tomorrow I am going to talk about nations conning other nations all the way to bankruptcy, hang in there folks.

Syria - let us for once be human

All European nations bordering the Baltic, the Atlantic or the Mediterranean seas have large fleets that combines business with pleasure. The lucrative part is more like pleasure than business where every night ferries take off with loads of people going for one night stands, for dancing, drinking and gambling between cities tied together over the open waters of the Baltic, the Atlantic or ports in the Mediterranean sea. Today we were warned by the UN, that winter and freezing temperatures are looming, that the UN agencies dealing with and protecting refugees have run short of tents, clothing and food, Refugees yes, but not only grown-ups, plenty of mothers close to give birth, new born, toddlers and young children.

While we over here in the prominent nations of Europe promising to harbor as many that arrives we are doing nothing to help them arrive at safety. Refugees have to pay their life savings to traffickers risking their life's going over the waters between Turkey and Greece without safety measures just to find out being shuffled further north sometimes to be beaten by locals, sometimes to find armed soldiers and closed borders. If this was the European spring or summer the situation would not be as harsh or threatening as it is now, with rains, low temperatures even freezing and mud. Just imagine being out there with your young ones and told that there are no tents, no blankets and no food,

We could make a great difference in our life's if we just made a halt focusing on how to save those souls. We have everything needed to do just that. Where necessary some would have to take a leave from work for a few weeks as their businesses would have to stop part of their operations, others would just have to take a break in partying or postpone that trip to see relatives overseas.

What am I saying? Send all available cruise and ferry ships we have to pick refugees up at the Turkey refugee camps and Syrian borders. Have the cruise and ferry companies send the bills to our governments, we'll pay for it later with our taxes.

I can tell that if we do or not we will still be flooded with refugees, with or without taking drastic measures to save lives, we will have to provide for more people over here than for what we planned or even dreamed of. The difference would be avoiding ten thousands of deaths with a large toll in children that we were in control of avoiding and the guilt that would hang over us as "Damocles sword" for life-times.

I am also saying that this is an issue and responsibility for a global community. Europe should not have to take the whole burden. All nations on the planet should take their responsibility by taking in a part of those seeking shelter from harm's way. We are all responsible for the present situation in the Middle East.

We could change the writing in our history books by acting as proposed now. The need for action is immediate,

Please, if you are connected with politics, pass this one on to your political connections.

With hopes for mankind, humanity and a true global and open world.

Syria - a global war or not?

What does globalization and a global world mean? Does global stand for cheap, exciting or exotic products not locally produced in our stores, no import taxes, free trade agreements or cheap imported competence and labor. Does global even mean global for good or bad times and in the long run when famine or war strikes a nation far away from our own?

There are many wars going on at planet earth in the times of writing this. There are still many nations with dictatorships, some with religious ones or where one faction oppresses another one. Sometimes we support hard-line governments with foreign aid, take Ethiopia a country harassing our journalists and taking a militaristic stance against it's own minorities calling it fight against terror and at the same time unable to cope with famine on own territories. Sometimes we intervene with the intent to remove the ruling faction like in Iraq or displacing what we would call a radical religious movement to fight terror and to give women rights, here Afghanistan and the Taliban's.

What about endurance? If we wanted to change things there's no exit, no quick fix, we would stay there counting with the forever perspective. But that is not how we are and possibly because government is a short-term commitment in a democratic society, no more than 6 years in a few nations. Imagine if we could transplant doctors, teachers, any category of science and arts to the numbers we send in soldiers.

Our nations and governments irrespective of color seem to get stuck when they realize that being honest mean loosing exports, loosing deals and being blackmailed, bribed or threatened by the 1% rich and their industry. This is the real problem when it comes to transforming our planet into a truly global place.

Back to Syria, to it's wars and it's population trying to get out of harms way by migrating away from it all. What is global about the Syria crisis? Does the nations of Europe have anything to do with this? Are we to blame, are we responsible for what is happening when it was the USA led Afghanistan and Iraq interventions causing this Middle Eastern destabilization and crisis? Whatever your political views are, you either did not say NO enough loud when you could or for you participating and supporting the venture to intervene you did not persevere or endure to contain and prevent this from happening. And whoever you are or coming from what is going on just now is to become one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes ever through history. Winter and cold weathers are to come down over the ones, millions on the road to a safe haven, Don't forget that there are newborns, toddlers and young ones among them fleeing.

It is not anymore a question of finding accommodations for the ones managing to reach our borders or doorsteps, we have to drop what we have at hand, putting in measures to pick the crowds up at the places where they are leaving Syria, saving them from dying on the sea between Turkey and Greece, saving those that crossed over from Turkey to die on the road from the winter colds on the road from Greece and up to friendly nations in Europe.

I am suggesting that governments in Europe rent ferries that today goes in pleasure, entertainment, pleasure and tax-free routes, those giant ferries with on-board space for thousands like the ones that goes over the Baltic to Finland, Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and other destinations, goes to Turkey to pick refugees up bringing them from there into safety. And let the world know that we are coming for them.

Please, listen to me, it will cost us all over here in the war-free zones, Europe, Canada, Latin-America, China, Japan and others but we will be rewarded saving numerous life's. Let us be human and let creativity loose to save life's. We could do the same with refugees at the Libyan shores too. Let this be the most humane and most remembered rescue mission of all times.

The day before the day

Tomorrow is October 7 the day said to be the start of the end of the world. Google October 7 2015 and the only items you'll see in the listing are disasters. Isn't it rare coincidence that Armstrong "Economic Confidence Model" also points to this day as the start of a worldwide economic "falling down"?

Now here in Sweden we are having a rude awakening first being informed that 1495 immigrants registered to enter this day only and that we are short of accommodations then we heard from the state institute of economics that real estate bubble we are living risk to burst. Immigrants have been transported for accommodations in schools, churches, surplus military housing and even stables. We have no more room for them unless the government declares state of emergency imposing on everybody that have a house or an apartment to take in a couple of immigrants each. Winter is coming and temperatures are quickly coming down below zero. Nobody knows how many will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow but for sure thousands.

Now apart from this awakening and being completely unprepared for the largest migration since the second world war and another real estate bubble, some religious people have been calculating the return of the Messiah and the beginning of the end of the world, tomorrow, October 7 2015. Some Christian pastors are waiting for the return of Jesus from Nazareth and some Jewish religious scholars for the Messiah that never came, coming to this conclusion pinpointing the same day. Isn't that another coincidence.

I will be on my tip-toes tomorrow and stay there for some time ahead, sort of exciting - but rather scary.

Internet Social Media fraud and insecurity

New era swindler Bernie Madoff

I have always been open accepting social media invitations from people all over the world. I am Swedish but my first Internet language is English just to make it easier for global audience to understand me and get in touch with me, the local “duck pond” on the other hand, with its small talk, rumors and intrigues does not square with my personality as I already had my share of that from living a fairly long life. The Internet was gay and easy living from when the general public entered around 1996 until about 2012 but lately I have seen a sharp increase in soliciting, begging and criminal intents to get to my money. Internet has become a scary and frightening proposition as many others created by the United States of America. Anything coming out of that nation is like the ever reply to criticism about the lack of gun control: “it is not the arms that kill; it is the person that pulls the trigger”. Did the ones opening up a military communications system to the public think or consider its implications for the world? Did they envision the threat of how the net was going to be used by terrorists and criminals, think not? Are we dealing with a nation with a truly naive view of its powers and the world or is there more sinister, well thought plan behind? I am myself starting to revert to the duck pond after numerous attacks to con me, people trying to get my digital identity, my passwords, access to my bank accounts. In the latest attempt on Facebook I was contacted by someone pretending to be the US four star general, Robert William Cone. When I started perceiving a con attempt I Googled the name and yes this person was all over the place, then I Googled the name together with the attribute “scam”, of course it was listed in various con attempts, style Nigeria letters. That was when I blocked “it”, I say “it” because you’ll never know if the person is a he or a she. I am weary of this and have become so wary that I don’t accept calls for friendship anymore unless I already know the person in flesh and blood, this completely in contrast to being happy over the “melting pot” a completely open world where all of us live together in love, peace and harmony. According to former con-artist turned FBI security consultant and “entrepreneur” Frank Abagnale

“Today you have a lot of young people who have no character, no ethics and they find no problem in defrauding somebody or stealing from somebody or cheating somebody. Until we change that, crime is just going to get easier, faster, more global, harder to detect.”

I guess Frank was right… but changing it, I don't know as it is just started, seemingly instoppable.
