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.

The middle east refugee disaster

Drowned Syrian Toddler

There are millions of refugees all around the eastern and southern borders of the Mediterranean sea, 1,5 million in camps or on the street in Lebanon. Some are in camps, some families are living and sleeping on the street. Most of the children that fled with their parents or relatives cannot go to school as there are no spaces for them, thus held in limbo with respect to their future. We cannot ask a 4 million nation like Lebanon to provide everything for all flooding over their borders.

We can finance decent living and schools for refugees in Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco if politically feasible just to buy time to provide for these people migrating further into Europe, to suspend disasters like people dying on the streets of the middle east or trying to cross the Mediterranean in vessels not sea worthy. We can provide doctors, nurses and teachers, sent to the countries bordering the war zones in the middle east, we can even provide homes and buildings as this situation will persist for a long time - many believes that tomorrow will be different with peace restored, it will not. Europe needs time to provide for living space and work opportunities for all these millions uprooted by wars, we are not prepared, not ready and just letting them in will only create more unrest.

Why not give up on political objectives such as improving schools nationally, such as pumping in money to raise production, improving business climate, create the lowest unemployment in Europe etc. but instead put our national interests on hold and use the resources to improve and stabilize the situation in the countries around the war zones. This for all countries, especially in the core EU states.

The Swedish socialistic government and in particular its foreign minister Margot Wallström is continuing on the old track of opening up for more immigrants, providing jobs and education for more immigrants an impossible task and contrary to what the Swedish people thinks and wants. Thinking outside of the box would be to suspend national growth and use the resources created from raised taxes to provide for immigrants at where they are right now, in war zones bordering countries like Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco, this of course in consent with the governments in those countries.

Then coming to the question of liability; who did this to us? Not a word from the USA and its figurehead Barack Obama. Not a word of economic support considering  the actions that lead up to the situation we are living in this part of the world. Interventions like "hit and run" in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, then dysfunctional diplomacy with respect to Syria and the regime of Bashar al Assad eventually destabilizing the entire region. The Lebanese people are highly critical to the EU and USA with respect to coming to terms with Syria through diplomacy. Thanks to the "failing" US diplomacy, we now have ISIS and another dozen terrorist factions fighting for control.

Well, I think we can do without economic help from the USA, we just have to suspend national growth and use that money to help the people/refugees where the majority is situated for the moment. If this requires military intervention in Libya, so be it. EU needs resolve of this order, we cannot rely on the USA any more.

the USA to pay for immigrant disaster in Europe

Disrespect of a fallen soldier

Hordes of refugees pouring in over the seas and over the borders to Europe. This is no cherry picking of the cream of the crop of humans in the middle or the far east, this is millons of people fleeing the terrors in Afghanistan, Iraq and basically all of the region called the "Levant". The situation has gotten out of hand of the EU administration and every particular country of the Union and is being destabilized by it. Before this the EU was hit by the financial disasters created by US banks, insurance companies and credit institutes in 2008. The US treasury service saved the situation nationally but left Europe struggling with the after-math caused by the failing US economy. US media is criticizing Europe for letting people die on the Mediterranean sea, for not providing for the ones managing to cross into its borders. But what is the cause of all this? It all started with the US manipulating the situation in Afghanistan during the Russian intervention and when the Russians were gone abandoning the whole thing and having the entire region fall into clan wars finally resolved with the Taliban's taking it all over and al Qaeda moving in.

Then Saddam Hussein insulted the great nation in the west having the George Bush administration assaulting Iraq in the first Persian gulf war but without finishing the task, bailing out with Saddam Hussein still in power. Then came the NY World Trade Center twin tower disaster orchestrated by, who knows, at September 9 2001 followed by the US intervening in Afghanistan, October 7 2001, intimated by, who knows, figure head president George W Bush, but as I said, figure-head, more by the war toting agencies of the nation as by its puppet spokes-person. Talking about great leaders and in this case great American presidents, there are non, not one single. A US president is nothing but a spokes-person for its agencies and prominent forces of its administration. A US president can be anything from an actor, a Hollywood action hero or a real estate mogul like Donald Trump. He needs to be well polished, dressing up well in a nice suit, nice tie and well polished shoes and an convincing attitude to inflict fear in the leaders of the ROW, that is it. But at the end he is nothing more than whoever you would meet on a US street and if he would venture outside of the limits of the nations agencies he would end up dead as John F Kennedy.

The story continues with the Iraq intervention, initiated March 19 2003, dubbed "Operation Iraqi Freedom". This in recent memory of most educated people of the world was a complete fail, with secterist violence, insurgence and eventually with the birth of the ultra-Islamist movement ISIS. There is one thing I will never belittle or forget and that is when Saddam Hussein said, attacking Iraq will open the gates of hell, because it did. It is perhaps not that obvious to citizens of the US where there is a big and wide ocean separating them from Iraq, Mid East and North Africa, but to Europeans it is as refugees in millions are pouring in over the borders creating havoc, mistrust among citizens and new-comers ultimately sparking radical Muslim movements romancing the ISIS, the Caliphate.

Came the Arabic spring with Tunisia, Libya, Egypt. Somebody in a western state decided to bomb out Ghadaffi assembling the NATO letting havoc on the loose in Libya, then abandoning the whole thing, a hit and run. The US social media let the "Spring" roll on to Egypt, resulting in the Muslim Brotherhood winning the coming up election having "someone" staging another military coupe safeguarding all those endangered "western" military bases in Egypt. Subsequently we see the same story continue in Qatar, then in Yemen, here Saudi Arabia barges in, in cahoots with its ally doing the dirty work to bring order back.

Meanwhile figure-head Barack Obama is filibustering the Syrian situation. Instead of pressuring Bashar al Assad to democratic elections and the negotiating table, a half-ass Hollywood style Syrian regime smearing campaign is initiated letting insurgence get out of hand completely destabilizing the situation in Syria whereof ISIS rises like the bird of Phoenix.

Is the US seeing the European union getting to strong? Was the idea of the US "tinkering tanks" to let go of a problem just to have Europe being weakened by it? Whatsoever, the disastrous situation the Europeans are living, caring for myriads of immigrants, consequential illegal trafficking and a Islamic radicalization getting worse for every day is caused by the US, with or without intentions, perhaps out of stupidity or radical Christian thinking. Now considering that US law and courts seem to rule outside its borders, it seem natural that European law may extend over and into the contiguous US and its territories. It sounds reasonable that the US is liable to pay for damages made to the countries of the the middle and far east and to what consequently is damaging Europe. If an international war criminal court of law would be impossible or ineffective against the US a massive civil class-action suit could do it.

Did it ever occur to you that the world would have been a much stabler and safer place without past US aggression's and interventions? My belief has always been that change has to come from inside whatever suffering nationals of a country have to endure. I do not believe in quick fixes, in armed solutions and in extra-national manipulation of politics in other states, communistic or dictatorships like historically the US has been engaged in for decades, at the end failing in all counts.

The US is by it's failing tactics and strategy converting my peaceful nation into an Islamic Caliphate. I refuse to accept something like that forced upon me.

The US should take full responsibility for its deeds in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen admitting anybody fleeing from the war zones asylum.

Let us sue them power hungry geopolitical greedy bastards.
