My Seventy Year Old Eyes

I don’t know about you who are reading this, but, honestly, I can’t really keep up with the Lawlessness, Chaos, Brainwashing, Lies, Deceit and Propaganda! It is dizzying! So here goes with what stood out for me . . .

. . . It was a Momentous Monday, September 22nd., 2025 . . . and, No, it wasn’t because of the United Nations International Conference presided over by France and Saudi Arabia in order to reaffirm what 140 Nations had declared decades ago, and how European Nations and the European Union have now opted to join them and are now fully backing the Recognition of the State of Palestine and the Two State Solution. Moving speeches and promises were voiced against the backdrop of an Israeli Government declaring: Never, supported by its arch-ally the United States! Words, if not bolstered by serious steps, are Empty Palliatives! I have been hearing them for over eight decades! Meanwhile, a heartbreaking Genocide of Palestinian Humans continues Unfettered and Unabated! And now the Corrupt Self-serving Rat Tony Blair is involved? Woe unto us Palestinians!

Nevertheless, No, as far as I am concerned my being Palestinian was not in and of itself the Momentous event that I am talking about, although that was quite significant. Rather, it was a Reclamation and Reaffirmation for an International World Body: the United Nations, which is celebrating 80 years of its existence (thank you Eleanor Roosevelt!), and of its very important role as a World Institution designed to foster peaceful negotiations and facilitate debates between all the Nations of our World, as well as to help the Innocent Victims of Wars, Upheavals and Strife. And, Yes, despite its many rectifiable flaws and shortcomings Humanity needs Effective International Institutions and Organizations, especially during these dangerous days! However, Trump’s and Netanyahu’s behavior, words and actions, especially since October 7th. of 2023 and the ensuing War on Gaza, have been Undermining – actually: Trashing! – Every World Institution and Organization! Their Shameful Unlawful and Illegal Behavior has rendered these Institutions and Organizations Totally Ineffective! In fact, and as one example, we can say that the UN has been turned into being merely a “Tent and Sustenance Organization!!” Sad! So, yes, while the Recognition of the State of Palestine was Momentous the more significant aspect is that the whole conference was a slap in the face against the Insanity and Chaos that Trump and Netanyahu wrought upon our World, and how the Israeli Government has been ignoring all UN Resolutions, Agreements, Oslo Accords, etc. etc. since 1948 with the US and Western Nations Complicit! However, I believe that now the Nations of the World upon witnessing how Trump and Netanyahu have been conducting themselves were getting more and more horrified and felt that they had to try and put a stop to the insanity somehow, and, thus, they took that step towards acknowledging the State of Palestine and, more importantly, the significance of International Laws and Conventions! Moreover, how the hell can they tell Putin, or any other Ruler to behave and abide by those International Laws when they have Netanyahu and Trump running amok? Also, they all have Muslim, Arab and Jewish populations who have been reacting with Protests and Anger due to their Governments’ Paralysis on so many fronts! Noteworthy: “Reporter states to Trump: the UN says Israel has committed Genocide in Gaza. Trump responds: I haven’t seen that. But did anybody commit Genocide on Oct 7? That was a Genocide.” What the hell was he talking about? He has a knack for Twisting Reality; Conflicting Hate Speech with Free Speech and calling out those against him as Left-wing Radical Lunatics; Rendering an hour plus speech at the United Nations which was Extremely, Extremely Nauseatingly Embarrassing to say the least, as well as full of Lies, Exaggerations, Skewed Assumptions, Empty Boasting and Self-Aggrandizement; Contracting Erik Prince Mercenaries to do our Dirty Work in Gaza and Elsewhere; Stating that Climate Change is a Con Job; Touting the US as a “hot” nation due to his Amazing Abilities (my grocery bill says he’s Lying!); Subtle Threats to the European Nations. Hello?  Does continuing to utter all this prattle makes it all believable to the World? Seriously? Moreover, continuing to dredge up his Hurts, Biases and Thin Skin whether regarding the Jimmy Kimmel Major Fiasco. or Stating that the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, wants to introduce Shari’a Law to the UK, or demanding that Mahmoud Khalil be Deported, or Pushing His pseudo-Christianity and Crusading Wherever and Whenever are All only indicative of a Chaotic Disruptive Mind and Moral Bankruptcy that wants Women to become Incubators of White, Christian Children and remain stuck in between the dishwasher and the playpen forever? Seriously? All this after his Executive Order of having Statues of the MAGA’s Messiah, Charlie Kirk, and his speeches read by students in schools and universities? Seriously?  Over and above all this the Epstein Scandal looms leaving Every Single Man involved in being ferried on the infamous Lolita Express, and the subsequent abuse of young women, to be quaking in his boots lest he be Outed, which is going to happen sooner, or later!! And will the European Union, Nations and World Leaders Ignore his insane ranting, or will they kneel down and kiss the ring thus committing our Planet to Chaotic Behavior, Lawlessness, Increasing Frustration and Anger all across the World?!

I am Breathless! My blood pressure zooms up every day! Multiple times! I am Enraged, Frustrated and Wondering just when will there be enough Politicians and Leaders within the US and World Over who grow their balls to say: Enough!??!! When? And when will all those Impotent Arab Leaders say Enough? Will they ever? I do not read tea leaves, nor am I some oracle who can predict what will happen. I only know that for Now and for the Foreseeable Future we are in very hot water, because we are witnessing the full ugly throttle of Unwise Politicians and Oligarchs who are Arrogant, Greedy and have an Insatiable Appetite for Money and Power.  My only advice is just be prepared for the Worst, because it will be getting Worse! Much Worse!

Nota Bene: Press Conference on September 29, 2025 that took place after I had sent the above post for publication. President Trump and PM Netanyahu talking about Middle East Peace. Words, Words, and More Words! The Devil is in the Details as the saying goes, so not holding my breath at all!

After I finished my last post I said to myself: I hope I’ll have more uplifting things to share next time. However, here we are and Uplifting is Not Happening as it seems to be getting Worse and Worser! I don’t really know what to make of it all? Does Anyone? It’s almost unbelievable! It’s like living a Nightmare that keeps on repeating itself ad infinitum! Yes, it’s a Boiling Cauldron Alright! It’s boiling in more and more places across our Planet! What the hell is going on?

Only recently Humans have been Protesting and Rebelling in Indonesia, Nepal, France, London, US, Congo, Georgia and more! I can’t keep up! For some of them it is about Corruption, Inequality, Housing Affordability and just the inability to Eke out a Decent Living; for others it is Authoritarianism, Inept and Spineless Politicians, Unwise Decisions and the list goes on! It also seems as if the Malfeasance at the Top is Seeping Down and Tainting Everything Along Its Undulating Way as Humans become more Polarized, Agitated, Depressed and Angry! Just in recent days, and I know that all of you reading this post are very well aware of all that I am saying, nevertheless, here’s a recap of events that struck me as ominous:

Russian Drones flying over Poland. Seriously now??!! An International Flotilla on its way to Gaza (again!) and Israeli Drones are hitting the boats carrying life-saving aid? The newly named US Department Of War targets and blows up a Venezuelan boat and executes its passengers in International Waters claiming without proof that it was bringing drugs into the US?! A blatant Israeli attack on Doha, Qatar killing and wounding Humans and other Israeli attacks on Yemen?! It is beyond belief that both Israel and the US have given themselves license to threaten, sanction, attack, assassinate Anyone, Anywhere they desire – and not that this is New, because it has been happening for as long as I can remember, although it has become much more audacious and in-your-face than ever before!! How is this even Acceptable? And how does that not give license to any other Nations, or Leaders deciding to do the same? Bewildering and So Very Dangerous! A Genocide and an Annihilation Campaign of Starvation continuing in Gaza, while Settler Atrocities supported by Israeli Military continue in the West Bank of Palestine?! Until When? Another School Shooting in Colorado amongst the frequently occurring shootings in this US of A?! Immigrants and Undocumented Humans being shuttled to other countries where they will be jailed and perhaps tortured? An Evil Political Assassination in Utah killing Charlie Kirk, 31 years old, a husband and father! Irrelevant of his ideology, this, like other assassinations that have occurred during the past year alone involving Humans from both our political parties is Uncivilized, Barbaric and Preposterous! Cyber Crimes multiplying and going totally Wild and More Criminal, let alone Strange Weather Behavior uprooting thousands! RFK, Jr ruling over our Health and issuing the most dangerous and idiotic diktats ever imagined! How will we cope with a Pandemic should one happen with this whacko brainiac in control of our health decisions??? The Epstein Scandal that is not going away and will yet reveal so many more prominent names of Politicians, Bankers and Who Knows What More Scandalous and Salacious stuff, while the Courageous Victims held a conference at the Capitol indicating that they are not going to go away despite Trump ordering his military jets to fly over them in a show of Force and Intimidation?! Come on now! That’s so Infantile, Petty and Vindictive!! An Idiotic, Misinformed Politician (can’t even remember his name, not that I want to either!) telling his Town hall attendees that there are 750,000 Americans living in Israel and that’s why we need to keep on starving and bombing the hell out of the Innocent Palestinian Humans. Because they are all Terrorists?! Seriously? He does not know, or realize that the mentioned Americans are Mostly, if Not All, American Jews with a Dual Citizenship! Hello Ignorance? Authoritarian Bolsonaro receives a jail sentence for fomenting an Insurrection in Brazil and our US President – who attempted to do the same in 2020 – decides to Meddle in the affairs of a Sovereign Nation with Sanctions, Threats and Demands For Retribution! Really? That’s Appalling!

All this is only recently! What the fuck is going on? How much More Ignorance and Irresponsibility can we live with? In her terrific Book: Libertarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth, published in 2024, Ingrid Robyns (amongst many others) warns Humanity that if the Serious Issues of Inequality are not addressed, especially by all the Oligarchs, Billionaires, Leaders and Dictators then the Pitchforks are coming! She might just be right, and that’s scary and dangerous for every one of us!

And, are we really, as some are saying, on our way to All Out World War? Or, an American Civil War? And is the assassination of Charlie Kirk the incident that could spark such a war as some are saying? And is what Trump is spewing – by design, or inadvertently – an invitation to all those who believe in Kirk’s Message that they are the modern day Crusaders (White Christian Supremacists) who should be fighting against Humans who are Black, Brown, Purple, Muslims, Jews, Immigrants, the Homeless and goodness knows who else? Moreover, was Charlie Kirk’s Widow also stoking the fires with her fiery words? If we have Responsible Leaders and Politicians such as the very judicious and responsible Spencer Cox, Governor of Utah, they would be doing their darnedest to choose a path of Wisdom and Reason at this specific time especially and avert this country a catastrophe. And how Embarrassing would it be that the Downfall of this Nation would be brought about by its own citizens? Horrific! Mortifying!

As for all those Arab Leaders: I just want to ask them how much more Humiliation will they take? How much harder can the US and Israel Mop The Floor with them? When will they say: Enough is Enough? They are Shameless and Spineless Cowards!

We are not going to a good place my friends. In fact, we are moving towards more and more evil and darkness. Yes, the Planet is a Boiling Cauldron and I don’t know if there is a Willingness to turn the temperature down! Fasten your seat belts!
