Round 2, was I right July 2016?

Trump Changes Axis of Planet = Family United
That was the headline of my post at the time. My thinking was that as I observed from the outside, not within the USA, I saw something developing that was operating at a level of energy that would “Trump”, (Sorry) all previous political and leadership events in US history.

Washington and Lincoln, not withstanding, Trump has shown to be a hard working, hard charging and predictably obnoxious president. But, if, as I try to be, you are honest with yourself, he has been able to accomplish a lot in his overtaxed 3 short years in office.

I like to equate things to those which the common person can relate. So, for Trump’s presidency, I choose to consider the USA as a large corporation with him as the newly hired CEO.

The Board of Directors in this case is the House of Reps and the Senate. Well, you see how that works now, in large part to the scrutiny given by the media and world press. The people are the employees.

So, word of advice for the BoD, be careful of showing your bias against the new CEO. The company is making a profit, the employees are being well paid, the shareholders are increasing shareholder value, and the competitors are looking to figure out the best way to do business with you, the USA, the company.

In the USA’s two party system, the Dem’s seem ready to fall into a very serious trap. One that is typically used by terrorists when they are sort of or semi aligned with a government. Namely, they seek an alignment with the government in opposition, and then carry out events that are disruptive to those in power or leadership. Those out of power don’t stand up for the terroristic behavior, rather, they simply ignore it since it helps their cause.

The presidential candidates such as Sanders, Warren, and some in the House of Reps, such as, you know them, AOC, and the gang of three, are allowed to say and do things that typically are prohibited. They are allowed to use their energy and stardom, in the twitter-verse, to get fellow opposition and frustrated voters to stay connected to the cause. This is with the understanding of the actual leadership in the DNC, Democratic National Committee and on the left that when the time comes to select the “one” to lead, all the voters that were kept warm and angry with the “terroristic” type behavior will have no other choice but to fall in line and vote for the Democrat selected.

BUT, the USA is not a socialist country, and the USA is not working by secret select few back door deals. The USA is founded on hard work and fair opportunity to pursue your dreams of a better life for you or your family, regardless of religion, color, national background, lifestyle, handicap, or even affiliation. Just play by the rules.

If your side has a better offer, then, offer it. If your company, i.e., Dem’s version of the company, the BOD and the employees will be able to change the direction or even the product of the company.

Can you imagine, actually imagine a Socialist USA? The fact that there are some people who actually think this could happen is an indication of the incredibly poor education system in the USA.

Socialism and its brother Communism lack the proper incentives inherent in a bell curve of talent, motivation, and accountability or ownership.

The dream is always a fantasy until it is applied to YOU!

2020 elections will be nothing but pure excitement. I’m sure there will be a lot of dirt spread, but in the end energy of Trump and his total commitment, I’d even say selfless commitment to the USA is what my overall point is.

You see, when your actions are for sharing or helping others, you can move worlds! That was my message a few years ago and it is true today. Until the Democrats can come to the party to give something rather than taking to receive more power to impose their control to take more from the employees of the company, like union dues, they’ll not stand a chance, again…

The great thing about the USA’s political system is that it is dirty and open. So, all the garbage gets exposed and the light is always the best disinfectant!

Cheers my friends,

No Lives Matter, but Mine does…

Pure Innocence, Love is Taught
Pure Innocence, Love is Taught

After all the totally out of touch crazy discussions about lives that matter and implications that others don’t, I thought I’d add a little twist.?  I say, no lives matter, but mine does…

My proof is simple, no lives matter in the Muslim world, period.?  If you only care to watch how easily the Muslim world kills, maims, rapes, and represses women, you have all the proof you need.?  What’s happening around the world and mostly in Syria is a prime example.?  Not a word or action to protect the otherwise totally innocent lives that seem to not matter at all.

More proof??  Ok, how about Chicago, do the Black Lives Matter there??  Again, I say no, why, well, if they did, then perhaps the local people and their Elected representatives might lift a finger to try to figure out how to stop the thousands of precious lives that are stopped before they ever get launched into adult hood.?  Oh, and by the way, any person who actually studies the statistics will see the truth, but I’ll not show that here, for the millionth time, nobody cares about the truth, only what’s politically driven to help their cause or protect their own income.

Still more proof??  Ok, how about Jewish lives??  Well, after 6 Million lives were gassed and burned, did anybody lift a finger in the face of what was happening??  WWII in the Pacific, again, Japanese lives, American lives, Chinese lives, death, death, death, nothing mattered.?  Kamikaze??  Well, that was a pretty horrible thing to even contemplate, but again, illustrates that to most of the world leaders, no lives actually matter except to support your cause or keep you in power.

So, what does this give us??  It gives us a moment of clarity to actually see what’s behind the BLM, blue or black, or ALM, all lives matter into making this actually about your own life.

I would venture a guess that your life matters, right??  Well, if that’s the case then why should you not stand up for the truth??  Your life matters, your children, girl/boyfriend, mother, father, priest, rabbi, cleric, teacher, husband, wife, partner, am I right??  Ok, if we start from there, and the follow that the “other guy” has the same conviction (except suicide culture that is) then what we all need to be saying to each other, is “Your life matters to me, as My life matters to me”; So lets work together to ensure the rule of law, and more importantly the rule of educating love and tenderness for each other.?  A totally new culture of love and tenderness, nurturing the new and precious lives must be the only acceptable behavior.

When you see, read about, or hear of stories where there is a “lone gunman” whether or not connected to the Islamic movement of hate, you’ll mostly find a sad, frustrated, lonely, little boy that never was taught and nurtured that to be a real man in this world means to take responsibility for your failures, lack of “luck”, hardships, burdens, etc. and just face it, and move forward.?  Toughness lives in the spirit of those willing to see it through.?  The individual actors, or cells that work to produce destruction, don’t have an inner voice that has tenderness and love that out shines their motives.

When I see a mother or father that cheer for their son or daughter that just got killed in the act of killing some innocent person(s), I totally feel sorry for that lost soul, that long ago was killed by their mother and or father.?  Not to mention the extended loss of those taken by them, but the start was the mother and father.?  In the mother’s case, she typically was not respected by her husband, community, culture, but what’s her reality??  That’s as obvious as the sun rising.?  Death, Hate, Jealousy, Scheming, and ultimately perhaps even angling to get a pay check for producing a good terrorist.?  For the father, the love is even more important, to be able to show love to a young child, hope, hard work, respect and trust in the rule of law is the only way.

I say, with the strongest words possible, my life matters to me, your life matters to me, our collective lives matter to all of us.?  We must END the obvious current status quo, “No Lives Matter”.?  Together with a seed planted that yields the possibility of understanding and love, respect and trust, all things are possible, including the ability to say without any backlash, that All Lives Matter,?  Especially Yours.

Broken “Peace” Broken Vav… Pinchas

Dear Friends, tonight I’m venturing into a new realm, one of the Torah and the essence of the Zohar and how these things are around us all the time.

As we’ve seen last week in NICE France, and just minutes after in the U.S.A. with the police being gunned down there seems to be no hope in sight. For now, I”ll put aside my security discussion to one of the spirit and our collective need to expand our vocabulary and the power of words.

In this weeks Torah portion, Pinchas, there is something very interesting. You see, typically in the entire Torah, which by the way has to be letter and form perfect in ever instance globally, we have a letter that otherwise would render the entire Torah un-Kosher, and that is a “broken vav”. This is as shown in the picture, a fractured “Vav” in an otherwise joined letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The word is “Shalom” which means Peace. It also is used as Goodby and Hello which is a translation from Peace.

The powerful interpretation of meaning at this time in our existance and around the globe, with such violence and hate that seems to be filling the air-waves each minute, is that we must bridge this gap. This broken or gap in the letter Vav is a symbol that we must exercise extra effort to bring these two parts together. You might say join right and left or bridge mercy and harshness and realize that this is the only way to create unity and peace. To add to the illustration, the word disease can be broken into two parts as well, “dis-ease” or if you will, not at ease. If you think about it, when we collectively are not at ease and we allow words that cause division to spread and permeate young minds, we’re creating a momentum that cannot be reversed without a greater degree of effort than that which was used to initiate it, or set it off.

If you imagine a rock at the top of a hill. One little push sends this mass tumbling down with enough force to wipe out an entire villiage. Where as if you recognize that stored potential and ensure that it cannot be easily moved to create such damage, you’ve served the entire village, even though they may not be aware that you have just saved their entire lives and all that came or would come after them. Similarly, we have a duty to recognize that each of us have a duty to recognize hate and people that are in pain and not to turn our heads away from them but embrace them to help steer the potential energy into a positive path.

Another interesting or powerful element contained in this portion or chapter in the Torah, is that also in the first section you have the word or name of “Pinchas” spelled with a very small letter of a “Yud”, smaller than it is normally written in the Torah. This means or symbolizes that Pinchas had a small ego, since the Yud stands for the ego. It in addition is one of the letters that is said to represent all the other letters and the first letter in God’s name. As we see all the Police around the world that are standing between chaos or dis-ease as represented by the broken Vav, we can think that they too are like Pinchas. They are sacrificing their lives for us in their purity of action and effort and certainty. (I’m speaking globaly, nobody’s perfect, but stay with me on the high road here please). It is that simple. They go out there every day and stand up for the rule of law, and to ensure that we have the luxury to drink a nice cup of coffee, spend time with our children, study our religous books, or take a nice quiet walk along a garden path.

So, as we enter this week, I wish that each of us in our respective countries, cities, streets, homes, places of work and worship embrace an extra effort to be sensitive to the gaps that we see in relationships and all around us and do our small part to induce Love, Light, and respect for each other.

I guarantee as they say, with love there is room on the head of a pin for the world to exist, but the opposite is also true, with hate, there is no room on the planet for two people filled with hate. When we visualize that broken Vav as coming together, and the small Yud, we reduce our Ego (The need to be right and take for our selfish desire) and enable healing and love to bridge that gap, thus saving the entire world.

You can do it, I can do it, we can do it. Enjoy your one life you have to live, give a smile to a stranger. Make their day, I’m certain that it will make yours. Sha
