ANYONE got the Answer?

DICTATORSHIPS

We should have NO TRADE or relations AT ALL with ANY state that is not a democracy. DICTATORSHIPS of all kinds are the WORST EVIL on the planet and ALWAYS lead to he elimination of basic Human Rights, to misery and very often to war and mass murder. In particular, the idea of allowing a single individual to gain contol of an entire country is so insane that any visiting alien would immediately destroy the Earth as an obscene danger to the rest of the universe. One would have thought that after the long list of hideous and mass-murdering dictators throughout history that Homo Non-Sapiens would have learned something – but apparently not. The following are directly responsible for the murder of at least ONE BILLION INNOCENT HUMANS. That’s ONE THOUSAND MILLION or 1,000,000,000 people who died before their time, often in unspeakable agony.

Putin is just one more in a long line of delusional, totalitarian and psychopathic mass-murderers; the only difference with him, XI and Kim Yong-un is that they can drop an H-bomb on Tokyo and kill 30 MILLION people instantly. I do not believe that Putin’s Generals would allow him to successfully order a nuclear launch unless Russia itself were invaded, but KYU is another matter. What if he becomes terminally ill? WHO THE HELL knows what a psychopath is capable of in his dying moments?

*CHINA? CHINA (or rather the mafiosi gangsters of the CCP – The Chinese Communist Party: the people have no say) SUPPORTED NK in the Korean War and afterwards and CHINA HAS ENABLED it to become a nuclear-armed power. And CHINA is the place where in 2008 white doves of peace were released in the Olympic Stadium just 10 years after TEN THOUSAND INNOCENT PEOPLE DEMANDING FREEDOM WERE MURDERED IN TIANANMEN SQUARE – yet the “free world “sent athletes to those and later games as if nothing had happened.

South Korea is a stunning country: SEOUL is just beautiful in every way.https://www.nemoinsula.net/visuals/pt/KOREA0619/def.htm The country is safe, peaceful, prosperous and democratic – that NORTH Korea is in effect no more than a gigantic concentration camp is ENTIRELY thanks to CHINA – which I consider to be a Crime Against Humanity and something which our descendents (if anyone is still around) will NEVER forgive us for. “us”? Yes, “No Man is an island.” We are ALL in some way responsible.

The UNITED STATES and its allies are responsible for South Korea – AND Japan, two phenomenally safe, prosperous, civilised and democratic countries. AMERICA-HATERS should focus on THAT. The U.S.A. ALSO liberated most of Asia and ALL of Europe from fascism, but “liberals” care little about THAT.

Can anyone explain why NO dictatorship complies with The Univesral Declaration of Human Rights and yet all are allowed in the United Nations – EVEN NORTH KOREA? I do NOT feel ‘united’ with ANY dictatorship. The latter are an absolute negation of freedom and The Human Spirit and an affront to civilisation. WHY our “leaders” do not more aggressively propone this principle is a mystery. Democracy is often chaotic, even (or even usually) corrupt, but still infinitely preferably to ANY dictatorship. The “free world” is morally SICK, having sucked up to dictatorships and tried to wean them towards democracy. HILARIOUS! That has ONLY SERVED TO MAKE THEM RICHER and so able to MASSIVELY ARM THEMSELVES to fight us – because WE free states are their antithesis and thus their mortal enemies.

So, humans are COMPLACENT, GREEDY and plain STUPID, and I am often ashamed to be one. If a whale could talk, how the hell could you justify our behaviour? We CAN’T EVEN LEAVE THE WORLD’S MARINE CREATURES ALONE in their own space without polluting it beyond belief with our vile filth and plastic that chokes them to a horrible death. Those creatures are TOTALLY INNOCENT, but murdered by our own laziness – which LIKE PUTIN’S BARBARIC INVASION is TOTALLY AVOIDABLE.

Well, if a mad dictator really could destroy the human race, perhaps he or she would have a duty to do it and leave the millions of other species on the planet in peace. If that is not what people want, then it is TIME WE DID MORE TO ELIMINATE DICTATORS.

ISLAM and PC

Batley Grammar School teacher suspended after he shows cartoon of Prophet Mohammed to class.

The problem is that Muhammed was absolutely and irrefutably one of the most vile humans ever to walk the Earth: a narcissistic, pedophile, misogynist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, bigoted, slave-owning mass-murderer whose cult has murdered over 170 MILLION people since his death. THAT IS THE TRUTH, AND IT IS IMMORAL AND CONTRARY TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT TO DENY THE TRUTH, however unpopular it makes one.

Anyone who disputes this assessment of Muhammed should read his CV and the history of ISLAM. The fact that over one billion humans worship him does not change the Truth. Teachers are supposed to TEACH THE TRUTH, so this suspension is immoral.

“The Daily Telegraph” does not allow COMMENTS on this story, I suspect because they KNOW that the majority of its readers will agree with the above – but of course, Establishment pressure COMPELS THEM TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT and suppress free speech. THERE IS NO FREE SPEECH IN ISLAM. A French teacher was recently BEHEADED on the streets of France for indulging in a basic human right – the freedom to say what one thinks.

ISLAM, FREE SPEECH & POLITICAL CORRECTNESS? The problem with PC is fundamental: WHO DECIDES WHAT CONSTITUTES IT?
I have reached the same conclusions as Charlton Heston and Bertrand Russell:

Generalisation is a Killer

IDIOT ALERT

Sussexes’ aide says all white people are ‘rife with internalised racism’

Genevieve Roth, the Duke and Duchess’ new strategist, said she realised her ‘unconscious bias’ after marrying her black husband.

Of course, anyone can say what they want; that doesn’t stop it being utter BS. The worst thing about this latest bit of one-brain-celled drivel (apart from it being total bollocks) is the humongous generalisation. This is something that has spread like the the worst imaginable Chinese Virus From Hell in recent years.

“…. all white people are ‘rife with internalised racism”? Really, ALL OF US? “rife”? Like some kind of pandemic mental illness? Why do so-called “quality” papers allow such garbage to be printed? Perhaps she means “all American whites”? She sure as hell doesn’t mean ME.

Blacks, whites, browns, pinks, yellows or whatever obviously SEE that others have a different skin colour, but that does not make them “racist”, unless this stupid woman interprets the word as meaning “racially aware”. But seeing that someone is different does not mean one has a prejudiced attitude towards them just because of their colour.

I went to a school in the 60s where there were 99% white boys. But non-whites were NEVER to my knowledge subjected to any “racism”. My hero was a Pakistani. But modern self-opiniated morons like this woman are constantly banging on about we white “racists”, which is actually WORSENING race relations. Many whites are beginning to think: “Well, if these non-whites are so miserable the whole time why don’t they sod off somewhere else?” I DON’T THINK THAT, but I can see how many MIGHT.

I am sick to death of that whole racist, woke debate. Yes, we love free speech, but do we really have to put up with STUPID speech, and it’s the generalisation that really angers me. A) It is intellectually moronic and B) It stirs up idiotic prejudice.

“Hitler was a German (actually, he was Austrian), therefore all Germans are Nazis.” THAT is the level of intellectual content of some people.

Go to Hell Madame Roth.

The God Delusion

A) Sadly, there is no proof whatsoever of the existence of “God” that would stand up in court. Things might be better; we might FEEL better if there WERE such proof, but there isn’t.

B) Death is very strange and traumatic and Humans will rationalise any possible theory to find a way round its apparent finality.

C) Such terrible and hideous, often arbitrary and incomprehensible things happen to innocent people that even if there IS a “God” it is a really cruel and horrible entity.

D) I believe that our existence is:
– a complete accident of an inexplicable universe
– will never be fully explained or understood; it just is …

Finally, we have to believe in SOMETHING (it is in our nature). Jesus and the people who believed in him and “God” were beautiful people we can love and try to follow, but there is nothing supernatural behind it all.

Belief in “God” is a complete delusion born of desperation. And even if there were a God, WHO MADE HIM OR HER? Where did “God” come from? Maybe believers would say: “He, she or it always existed.” But frankly, that is intellectual nonsense. As I said, the origins of the universe are inexplicable and will NEVER be known.

People should have the courage to face the hard truth; we are temporary – a nanosecond’s existence in the life of an uncaring universe, and when we die, we are gone forever.

“Gladiator” & Marcus Aurelius

I recently watched “Gladiator” for the first time, some 13 years after it was released! I found it brilliant, as is everything I’ve seen by Ridley Scott – what a genius. And on the extras for this DVD there are lots of scenes of Ridley actually directing as well as commenting on the film: absolutely spell-binding.

rhsmall — Richard Harris as Marcus Aurelius

gladiator1 — With Russell Crowe as
General Maximus Decimus Meridius

Anyway, back to the film. For me it was a sublime combination of the epic and the personal, and brilliantly, movingly acted. Not the least of the fine perfornances was that of Richard Harris as Marcus Aurelius: I have never seen him act better. And the film inspired me to find out a bit more about the character he played, and specifically to look up some Aurelian quotes, a few of which appear below.

There are plenty of soundbites flying around the ether, but I find these remarkable for being said by a real-life Roman Emperor (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; 26 April 121 AD – 17 March 180 AD – Emperor from 161 to 180.) Where is the leader today capable of such sublime thoughts!

Not only that, many are beautiful. He focuses on the inner person, the soul, the harmony of the universe – and on the transience of our existence. How wonderfully he captured the essence of the Human Spirit.

“A person’s worth is measured by the worth of what he values.”
“A wrongdoer is often a man who has left something undone, not always one who has done something.”
“Do not forever discuss what a good person should be. Just be one.”
“Everything – a horse, a vine – is created for some duty… For what task, then, were you yourself created?”
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
“Here is a rule to remember in future, when anything tempts you to feel bitter: not “This is misfortune,” but “To bear this worthily is good fortune.”
“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy.”
“Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.”
“If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt.”
“If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.”
“If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.”
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
“It is not the actions of others which trouble us (for those actions are controlled by their governing part), but rather it is our own judgments. Therefore remove those judgments and resolve to let go of your anger, and it will already be gone. How do you let go? By realizing that such actions are not shameful to you.”
“Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.”
“Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.”
“Never let the future disturb you – you will meet it with the same weapons of reason and mind that, today, guard you against the present.”
“Receive without conceit, release without struggle.”
“Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.”
“The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.”
“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.”
“Take full account of what Excellencies you possess, and in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them, if you had them not.”
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.”
“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.”
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
“How many together with whom I came into the world are already gone out of it.”
“Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
“We must make haste then, not only because we are daily nearer to death, but also because the conception of things and the understanding of them cease first.”
“Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.”
Accept the things to which Fate binds you and love the people with whom Fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”

… and finally:

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

Well, if a mad dictator really could destroy the human race, perhaps he or she would have a duty to do it and leave the millions of other species on the planet in peace. If that is not what people want, then it is TIME WE DID MORE TO ELIMINATE DICTATORS.

Go to Hell Madame Roth.
