Nautikos, could I ask a question about the zam-zam?
Does it have a good tatse? In other words, is it yum yum, or just for sankeoil-salesmen? (U may be hibernating. Three days since you dropped this zamZam bombshell on our Blogit Village. It has not quite been the same since. H E L P!)

Political correctness is making it extremely difficult to call out the Big Lie that is being perpetrated. I guess first we are going to have to tackle political correctness.

Its true. Non-violent islamists who support the violent ones with sympathy or whatever are actually equally dangerous

What I know about all this is that people - who have the capacity, but
apparently not the will - to live and let live, to share the world, won't. And someone who cares not a whit for the big guy in the sky is making a 'safe' and luxurious life for himself at the expense of others - keeping them in desperate situations until the sweet release of death. Given all the petty reactions, the bigoted reactive violence, etc., even those of us in Quiet Town are exposed to the poison of violence, injustice, evil.
And my grandson is being deployed into that hell in a week or so. Mostly I come to Blogit in the hope of finding something else to think about, some evidence that some thinking people are sharing the good, the humorous, the kind...

I learn from you and so many here on Blogit, and it is illuminating.

I know that you must think I am a nitwit on this subject. I also know that you are quite a studied authority and also that you really do care what is going on and have a great desire to make a real difference. I would like to make that difference too but my ways are different, and must be. I cannot do things your way. I read what you publish and I pray, and I believe.

Re: Kabu
Okay, you're reading about an interesting era that I know exceedingly well. In order to understand it properly requires serious study! I have given courses on it, but ain't gonna do it here and now - I ain't getting paid enough, LOL...Let me simply say this: European anti-Semitism didn't begin with the Nazis, and wasn't even particularly pronounced in Germany before the Nazis came to power. But partly because of the pervasive European anti-Semitism, modern Zionism began to emerge almost 'organically' in the 19th century, influenced by a number of writers, particularly Theodor Herzl. And why the choice of 'Palestine' for the Jewish homeland? To make a very long and old story short: Because it is the ancient Jewish homeland! And of course there were always Jews living in Israel...
As for the other things - Cambodia, and gangs, and Russia, and drugs and all that stuff - I agree, it's bad, but in a sense they're 'normal problems. Nobody wants these things to happen - there is no ideology that demands heroin to be distributed to the general population. And nobody goes to any great length at hiding these bad things, even though they may not be talked about as much as you and some other people wish - fair enough!
Biut there is an ideology that demands that Jews be killed and all the other kuffar as well if they don't 'behave' - And I'm not talking of Nazis because Nazis are not a political force anywhere in the world today - I am talking of ISLAM! And I'm not even talking about Muslim individuals, I am speaking of ISLAM, whose history I know well, and whose entire creed I have studied - by which I mean I haven't just picked up blurbs at Wikipedia! I know my stuff! And I know that a disaster is developing in Western societies - I know that because I am a sociologist and a historian and I recognize things because I have learned to recognize things. And I don't even blame people for not recognizing what is happening - they're not historians! And I even understand that they don't want to HEAR about it, LOL, unfortunate as that is...
And I'm just writing posts here, not books! And these posts, which may always be about the same problem, but in which I try to illuminate different aspects of the same problem, may for a few people be an incentive to begin and read on their own. And it may also sensitize them to what we, collectively, are doing in contributing to these developments! That's where the BIG LIE comes in, which is as alive and well here as anywhere! Have you ever read the Toronto Star?
And with Selfie Zoolander Trudeau as PM, things are gonna get a lot worse here. I hear one of his migrant cabinet types may (or should) lose her citizenship because she lied about where she came from...Its a scandal that will probably be swept under the rug, but I haven't really paid attention to it...
Anyway, enough for now! Happy reading - and say hi to Wiley...

Actually Nautikos, my big problem at the moment is I am working my way through some old books mostly about the The European Jews under The German foot and when they were trying to creat a Ziononist State for themselves in Palestine. Why there well I know why there, but it never made real sense to me and still doesn't. However the disinterest from the World which allowed for lying and covering the truth and not rescuing people who were in such peril and the brutal regime that steadfastly killed millions of people, I read the same rhetoric and hate in some of things that you are printing. a hint her a hint there. I just don't want to read it really old mate.
Then I think of Somalia, Ethiopia , Cambodia, Vietnam, and no one has ever called Russia to count for the millions of their people they kiiled under Stalin and continued on with the USSR. Who ever has really spoken out about any of those atrocities, And more and more I could keep going.
More black people die in the USA from hate crimes and gang crimes than from terror crimes. and why Gangs? because we the West need to clean up our drug mess. If there is no buyer there is no sale. Simplistic I know but it can be done; it should be done. Better eductaion and giving people hope is a start. Making drugs unfashionable is a beginning. Hollywood leads so much of Western Culture by example. More than I can tolerate actually, but a good place to begin to change social acceptance of drug use.but the big thing is hope and Education.
I'll stop now because you don't answer my comments unless you need to show me how bird brained Iam.
