Living with irresistible instinct of killing
Its Saturday,while in Europe temperature in February can be in low or high minus 10
I am in Taqwa Bay in Lagos, Nigeria.
I spend the week end here for resting from hectic working week
I like to go there spend many hours watching high waves from the beach.
I have a fishing rod in hand, at the end of fishing line I use a Rapalla
A dummy fish with 3 ruthlessly sharpened triple hooks.
I cast this bait on foamy breaking waves and I am looking to kill a killer.
A fish that survived all the killers and reached 16 KG or 32 Pounds
Its called Jack Fish or Barracuda
I do not want to be a liar like all fishermen ,I missed many before I can
catch one in that size
That day, I was lucky and had one bite, and 2 hours struggle with the fish
to make her using all her energy before she will surrender to wave who will
push her to the beach.
Since I stay in a hotel, it is out of question for me to go to my room
with that fish.
My usual modusoperandi to take out my sharp knife
First cut the head.
The head , according to my African friends if you eat it a big fish head.
You become intelligent so they all want it.
They think only intelligent fish can reach that size.
Than I have to cut the fish separating right
side from left side.
The liver is huge my African friend say is it a cows liver?
And here I see the whole digestive system
I am very shocked with what I see.
In the mouth ,half swallowed fish and the whole internal organs
are filled with fishes in different stages of digestion.
My reaction is :oh my God!!!
Why that fish with so much food in body
still like to kill.
I have to explain
Those fishes form bands
Same fish same size
They go offshore
And push a group of smaller fish of different race
To the beach where water is just foamy with
braking waves.And massacre them.
The whole water change from white foam
to red foam you can even see a fish to
jump on the dry rocks to escape the death.
I always heard animal lovers say only human kill others
when they are not hungry.
Animals will not kill if they are not Hungry...
That day I witnessed that statement is just
wishful thinking of a person being disappointed
of human ungratefulness.
From that day I discovered all living creatures
without exception, that include those who have
magnifier glasses in the way of looking to themselves
And judging them selves with the most corrupt judge?
Who is the most corrupt Judge?
You are going to ask me....
It is a person or group of person who judge himself or
themselves.
without taking into account
the judgment of others
Like all corrupt judges
These people will not refuse the bribe of
self gratification.
While others will warn them of their evil deeds
They will deny it.
But the most undeniable truth is
We all are living,every person,every nation without a single
exception with irresistible instinct of killing.
When the day will come those who are born with
flash disk memory constantly erasing the souvenir
of their people misdeeds in their history will discover
that the shame of irresistible instinct
of killing belongs to all the humanity.
And the shame belongs to every one of us.
Once we all come to this conclusion
Than we must understand if killing is a trip trip by train?
And the last station is killing,
The first station of this train is
Called to hate others to make a trip of killing others
Those who do not stop haters from taking this train
They are equally guilty of killing.
The freedom of speech should not cover haters of a single
flower of the garden of ethnicity

Diversity or Societal Collapse
History have a lots of examples
Countries who meant diversity only as diversity in their failure.
They live with a significant inequity
They lose a part of the populations loyalty.
And cause the opressed part to rise up and
fight.
The right to have a family
I will describe here the right to have a family
Later I will show you how diplomats of western countries
in reality violate this right of their citizens who are
mostly not much educated , simple men decided to marry a woman
from another country, but unable to defend their rights.
Some never married they miss to have a wife at home to have a life
of two a sense of belonging to a nest that all living creatures
are entitled to have by the law.
A Diplomat is not a dumb soldier who obey his superiors
He himself is descendant of an ancestor who migrated from
another place
Like in my papers about abused becoming abuser they do not
hesitate abuse another person
Ok
Now we can look to the law:
The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) sets out a list of fundamental rights and freedoms which are believed to be common to all people. The ECHR lists these rights in numbered 'Articles'. Article 8 of the ECHR concerns an individual’s right to respect for their private and family life. Article 12 defines an individual’s right to marry.
Reading the law which is similar in USA and Canada and Australia
We do not see anything about age limit
Let us see the practice
If an elderly man present himself to any western diplomatic consulate
They direct him to a virtual torture chamber which deprive or delay
his right to marry
They swear oath to obey their country laws that benefit every citizen
living in the jurisdiction
But haha
The hypocrisy and duplicity is the norm
Who can decide an old man should die alone.
Only those who put their own elderly alone in their house or in the house
of retirement can commit such an atrocity
I remember I was in Africa in Nigeria and there was an African saying me
-I will not respect your people just for one thing.
You abandon your elderly to a life without of warmth
of family and those who forgot their elderly
will not have a future
I like better to live in China or Africa than any shiny
looking western country.
In west the elderly are deprived to be with their children
and grand children
Its this way since golden sixties it is called golden when
they deported their elderly from their house where they can see
that their life was not senseless and they can hear their
grand children shouting and they will continue to live
in the life of their descendants.
And in Africa while some think they are backward
I received a lesson
When they said
If a man meet a woman and decided to unite
Its the will of God
No human should even dare to judge and evaluate
this union
By God for those who are not believers I can say
the law of nature
In China nowadays many men not finding a wife
going to Vietnam
Agencies for about 400 US$ introducing
a wife to marry
There is a guarantee clause
If your wife they say run away
The next one is free of charge
A man who decide to unite himself with a woman
Must be respected
Any laws or policies against the law of nature
will fail
The only the only thing ill wbe remembered how some diplomats
living on the money of their citizens
Betrayed them
Only coherence inspire respect

The Land of Hypocrites
What is a man?
Its a living creature who can talk to express himself
Men together form states and states together form Unions of States.
I am going to talk about Europe and the countries that form European Union.
On my passport I see I am also citizen of this Union.
I have a position of looking to the Union I belong, from China.
Europe promulgated laws against discrimination for equality
as long as it makes ourselves in our own eyes champions, there is nobody
can do this better than us.
But other have eyes too.
Others have a very different picture than the one we see
with our own wishful eyes.
Europeans have amnesia about history
Others till today remember the wars of 1000 years ago
Others do think how to believe a person or an entity is credible
They apply a test of integrity to Europe
And Europe fails this test.
Let us make it clear what is Integrity
Source:Wilkipedia
In Europe the people withe sense of humanity are in big numbers even at the highest level
of states they are numerous
But
When a person from another country apply for visa even if he is a potential invest
or.He is presumed guilty of clandestine migration
He receives a degrading list of documents
Almost they ask him to undress and show his intimate part of his body
The list is humiliating and approach is lack of sensibility
At the borders is same situation
Why some people go to remote part of the world to help children
We humiliate their brothers in Europe, wether they are holding
our citizenship, or resident permit or a person without a visa
We mistreat them in borders at police stations and with our
narrow minded bureaucrats
And others think
Europeans are all fake a.ses as their governments
send the ministers to pump our wealth
And preach others about human rights and all fake blablas
Look at them
They are hypocrites
They give to their diplomats policemen and civil servants
the order
to mistreat us
They pretend to be Christians with charity
And they use their noble hearted citizens for charity
to hide the true face of what they are
Do not listen to what they say
Just look to what they do
And Hypocritean Union is a name better deserved
For those who pretend to be angels
While they harbor in their offices people who mis
treat foreigners and give non native citizens a second
class treatment
Europe must account for discrepancy between deeds and acts
If not
It looks like a heaven of high salary hunters to pump
the public funds

Source:Wilkipedia
Some people[1] see integrity as the quality of having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one's actions. Some people[who?] use the term "hypocrisy" in contrast to integrity[citation needed] for asserting that one part of a value system demonstrably conflicts with another, and to demand that the parties holding apparently conflicting values account for the discrepancy or change their beliefs to improve internal consistency (seen as a virtue).
The etymology of the word "integrity" can suggest insight into its use and meaning. It stems from the Latin adjective integer (whole, complete).[2] In this context, integrity may comprise the personal inner sense of "wholeness" deriving from (say) honesty and consistency of character. As such, one may judge that others "have integrity" to the extent that one judges whether they behave according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.
Since without pretending the reader to be ignorant about integrity
I want to move forward in my thinking exercise to give some reasons of failure of the test
In Europe the people withe sense of humanity are in big numbers even at the highest level
of states they are numerous

The Chart of Humanity
I dream of a world where in every country those who hold public services
receiving salary from the states sign this chart before they can hold
public office.
I swear to obey my country law that declared all human beings are born
equal regardless of their personal choice of life style and their origins
I will treat them with due respect that all humans are entitled to receive
for a world of brotherhood of all peoples.
The people who deviate from the norm of humanity are only accessory to
the crime.
The real culprits are those in governments when they discover such
action they decide to hide it for various reasons
The governments not only responsible to make wishful thinking laws.
They must enforce it just for one reason.
The fear of punishment will stop those who
are inclined to commit the crime.
Some humans without proper punishment can not be stopped.

Lettre ouverte a Belgium Inc.,
Habitant La Chine, depuis des nombreuses annees et en plus habitues a certain
niveau intellectuel et professionel de nos diplomates, je partagerais mes impressions pour votre reflection.
Je Pense La Belgique est devenu plus tense qu'au passe pour des questions relatives a la gestion sociale dune population diversifie.
A travers ma demande avec Le Consulat Belge
de reconnaissance de paternite et attribution de nationalite pour mon fils Jeremy
J ai decouvert une attitude de notre consulat ainsi que le vice consul une difference par rapport au passe qui n existait pas avant.
Avant dans tout les consulats j ai ete toujours inclus dans les activites incluant
La Communaute de Belgique ni en Belgique ni ailleurs je me suis jamais senti discrimine ni eu le moindre dispute avec un fonctionnaire Belge.
Pensant que humblement je ne suis qu un seul point dans un grand tableau
Je voulais verifier la justesse de mon impression aupres les chinoises et les chinois ici
Notaires,employees chinoises et employes chinois travaillant aupres des consulats europeens et Canadiens le fait que je parle le chinois je suis integre en Chine je peux facilement passer la barriere culturelle
Ils m ont tous sincerement confirme que oui les citoyens pas de souche vu de l interieur des consulats ne recoivent pas un serivice dont recoit les citoyens indigenes
Moi J aime La Belgique Je pense a la lecture des lois et de ses applications
A La lecture des efforts des fondations Roi Baudoin
La Belgique et tres bon pays
En suivant ma reflection je me demandais pour quoi les Europeens ont image
qui est deforme de la realite
Projettant un image pire que la realite poussera la discorde, la violence et le recul a notre passe.
Le fait que nos pays en Europe a admis en son seins des gens comme moi
On ne peut pas se permettre de rejetter telle une mere indigne l enfant qu elle a porte en son seins
En avancant cette idee je me suis rendu compte le danger pour mon pays et pour L europe.
Tel que la maladie Cancer ca demande une cure preventive dans son etat du debut
Je pense L europe doit etre coherente
Si Un Europeen parle de l egalite
Il n est pas credible
Car ceux qui sont en contacte avec les postes diplomatiques
Pensent je ne vais pas utiliser un mot impoli, on est des hypocrites.
Je pense il est temps que les etats en Europe pensent ensembles
Gerer un populatioion multiethnique par un appareil d etat
monolithique equivaudra a la perception rasciste et colonialiste excluant
les diverses composantes de la societe
Si dans un poste diplomatique il y aura un diplomate Belge d origine Chinoise nous serons a l abri
de cette mauvaise impression que le Peuple Belge ne merite pas
Avant precher les autres
Il faut commencer par chez soi
Tant que on fera pas on ne sera pas respecte
Il faudra sortire les lois contre la discrimination et des declarations
de bonne volonte et les meettre dans les organe etatique
Une bonne gestion de diversite fera de nous unE empire
Meme sans malice une mauvaise gestion de diversite fera de nous
des Europeens du passe
Assoiffe du sang d autrui
Chaque personne de chaque nationalite peut etre transforme
de l'ange a tueur et vice versa.
Il est l'image exacte de ses dirigeants
Si l Europe voudrait retourner a son histoire du sang
ce qui me parait bien probable il faut
exclure de son appareil etatique c qui discrimine
les gens a cause de leurs yeux brides, ou leurs apparanceait
Aux USA un pays qui nous a sauve de l'empire des tenebres
en Europe on trouve encore des gens qui sont ingras.
On veut simuler les Americains juste pour des raisons
economique sans voir la fondation sur la quelle ce pays
est assis.
Chez nous pendant qu on insulte les immigrants les
Americains ont elu un President d'Origine Africain
Si l'Europe devra exister en avenir
D abord il doivent regarder La Chine
Eux au moins ils ont compris le Secret des USA
Un pays ouvert a tout les pays du monde
Un pays qui inclus parmis ces citoyens, policier, militaires
tout le monde qui a jure la fidelite a la constitution
Qu il soit noir, vert ou rose.
Europe est coince entre son passe sanglant,sectaire
et un avenir douteux
Sans cela on sera comme une autruche
la tete enterre revant devenir un aigle
Avec un esprit d un maire du village
un leader en Europe fera de notre reve
d un grand pays uni et diversifie
Une grande deception et causera le
retour a la la barbarie comme des centaines
eexemples de notre passe
Un grand pays meme sans colonie est une empire.
Une empire excluant les hommes par leurs apparance
na jamais existe.
Les etats dabords doivent inclure dans leurs gestions
des citoyens qui ne sont pas indigenes
A part le rascisme rien empeche des citoyens non indigenes
de remplir les fonctions diverses pour refletter pas l image
du passe mais notre image de l'avenir
Pour ca il existe des exemple chez les Americains il suffit
de les interoger.
Si l Europe decide de courir vers l avenir
Fermer les frontieres n aide pas
Il suffit de voir l histoire de migration
Il faut que Europe delecide de promulguer une loi
Simple
A l instant meme tout ce qui sont des gens presents
pourront devenir citoyen
Un Somalien et Un Yemenite n est pas necessairement
un assasin ou pirate
Je connais des cas dans les bons
mains ils sont
devenu ingenieur progr
ammeur chez Microsoft
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Je vois pour quoi Microsoft
ne peut pas naitre en Europe
Le coeur et le cerveau est dans le corp
de chaque homme si on boit du lait et
on nous dit la vache etait noir
On ne dit pas c est degoutant
Etre borne etre un homme haissant les autres
A juste une seule voie
EN ARRIERE
d'accord si c est une personne qui bavarde
dans un cafe
Mais si il travail pour l'etat
Pour empecher la fuite en arriere
Dire non,
Est un devoir de chaque homme sensee
--
Joe Gariplerden
Does Europe has a future?
When European Leaders met to sign the treaty Of Rome the idea behind was what to do that the future of Europe will be different
than the past.
I put a long list of the history of the know how of killing
This list did not include many cases how Europe exported this know how to Africa, Asia,
And Americas.
In my mind everybody in Europe must learn this subject in school.
No people can build a Future without deep rooted conscience of past.
I am European and I want Europe to have a future.
So the fiirst step is to look to the past to cure the amnesia.
Once people know the past
Which is hidden under the carpet, they can look to future.
Than we are all ready to face the future
The next level is to take the integration from the law book and political statements
to our real life.
Its starting too slowly.
Ethnical frictions, are hapenning in France with riots, in England, in Germany
and even usually peaceful nations in Scandinavia and other examples that I did not include here
which does not mean are not in a state of gestation.
To make my story short, we should not hesitate to rush to a better future.
This can happen only if security forces, military, civil servants must represent the ethnical tissue
of society.
Its to the leaders to have a vision of future.
If not.
We shall only have the illusion of future
And in reality
We shall be going toward our past

Before the rise of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and the rest of the gang, these atrocities were the bywords of barbarism. Now that populations have gotten bigger and body counts have grown proportionally, they don't seem that bad; however, this says more about us than it does about them.

- Total Loss:
- Philip Pregill, Landscapes in History, 2d Ed.: Population of France began at ca. 19M; by end of 100 Yrs War, had declined by one-third. [i.e. loss of ca. 6.3 million]
- Frederic J. Baumgartner, France in the Sixteenth Century: Population of France 20M in 1340, 10M a century later. [loss of 10 million]
- Henry Heller, Labour, Science and Technology in France 1500-1620: 17M at beginning of 14th Century; 9M in 1440. [loss of 8 M]
- NOTE: This period also includes the Black Death, so there's no telling how much of this population decline was war-related, although all three of these sources specifically point the 100YW as a principle cause.
- ANALYSIS: It's usually said that the Black Death killed 1/3 of the affected populations, so we can guess that France should have lost 5.7M of Heller's 17M or 6.3M of Pregill's 19M or 6.7M of Baumgartens' 20M to the plague alone. The difference between this and the actual population decline might then be attributed to the 100YW. This would mean the war may have killed 0.0M (Presgill) or 2.3M (Heller) or 3.3M (Baumg.)

The German Empire, including Alsace but excluding the Netherlands and Bohemia, probably numbered about twenty-one millions in 1618, and rather less than thirteen and a half millions in 1648. [A loss of 7½ million.] Certain authorities believe that the loss was less, but these are for the most part writers of a militaristic epoch, anxious to destroy the ugly scarecrow which throws so long a shadow over the glorious past."

- NOTE: The era of almost continuous warfare that followed the overthrow of the French monarchy is traditionally split into three parts:
- Mfecane (1818-1840), and the reign of Shaka (1816-1828)
- Eugene Walter, Terror and Resistance (1969) cites the following, but admits it might be lower:
- Henry Francis Flynn: more than 1,000,000 deaths caused by Shaka's wars.
- George Theal, History of South Africa (1915): 2,000,000
- Britannica, "Shaka": 2,000,000
- Hanson, Carnage and Culture: "Shaka ... slaughtered 50,000 of his enemies in battle.... As many as 1 million native Africans had been killed and starved to death as a direct result of Shaka's imperial dreams."
- NOTE: These numbers are controversial in South Africa. Afrikaaners claim that Shaka depopulated much of southern Africa leaving it conveniently empty and free for the taking when the Boers moved in. Africans, on the other hand, deny this and claim that the death toll is wildly exaggerated. But one or two million is the only actual number I've seen.
- Eugene Walter, Terror and Resistance (1969) cites the following, but admits it might be lower:
- 19th Century Slave Trade

- Colonial El Niño Famines (1876-1900)
- Mike Davis, Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World (2001) argues that the business policies of the imperial European landlords, merchants and bureacrats in the face of El Niño drought intensified these famines and thereby caused millions of deaths. If true, this accusation could easily create a moral equivalence between these famines and the devastating Communist famines of the 20th Century, but so far, Davis is the only major authority I found who tackles this question.

Thank you 鄧小平 Deng Xiao Ping and sensibility
鄧小平 was the leader who opened China after 30 years closing.
What I like with him
He wrote a two page memorandum how he wanted his country and his people to be in future.
If you read his words today you see China of today
He had the vision of future.
My main subject is a few words in his memorandum when he says:
-We must learn the languages of other people
other people should learn or language.r
If one can learn a language and know well others
only after that we can make sensible judgments about
them
In fact thru language he advise first know others
when you know them judge them
Sensible Judgment is better than Judgment only
In China
They follow this rule
Yes there are laws
Yes there are regulation
Every civil servant I met
They act that the law is created by mortals and as such is not GOD
its tool of management for the time being
With time they are replace by better ones
When they apply the law
When you tell them
Ok for law
But in my case it would not be sensible to apply the law
The person in front of me listen to my argument
If my argument have sense
They do not apply it
As being sensible create friends and allies
Being insensible even with good laws
destroy the image of law and country create division
and rift
If China is developing
It is this humbleness to listen the smallest guy
To respect the smallest country
And before anything else
They want to be sensible
As they know
After Justice
Being Sensible is the enforcing element for a country
They expect others to do he same
That is the reason of why China is developing
People here they see sense in everything
They work like crazy
I try to do the same

The Language of Truth
What is a language?
It is a system of sounds we call words, with meanings that transmt the idea
of the words
The words have a dictionary meaning and can have cultural meanings
The words have usually single meaning
In the mouth of honest they will keep their meanings
In the heart of deceiver he or she will abuse the meaning with
the firm intention to hide the real intention under the
disguise of politeness and fake promises.
In that case we can say the words are used for a hidden agenda and the person
listening them will be unaware about this
How to find out the person is not saying the truth?
First when they send you from A to B
If they are honest they will send you froom A to B from shortest way
If they do not want you to move fast
They will pretend innocence
And give you a way with full of obstacles
If you complain they will pretend to be ignorant naive any thing
even degrading themselves provided it helps their primary motives
So written and speaking language can hide the truth.
And cowards will use all kind of stratagem to abuse the
naivety to believe them
Loosely controlled highly decentralized countries
are like wet and warm place for mushrooms
Any insignificant clerk can deceive a person
I use for this theory of coherence in two direction
I apply it in two levels
First Level
With deceiver
I act coherently even I know his secret
I act in coherence with him
Since he want to hide his secret deception
plan
I also hide my discovery
And keep following his direction
Compiling more evidence will be helpful
to beat his ugly plan
This is possible if you are in harmony
Second Level
Is about the question of body language
It is the only language that can not
hide the truth
Its guided by emotions a sm all blink in the
eye can mean 1000 words
And a person who do not like you can not hug you
can not smile from heart
Can not open the door for you
Regardless he is very polite i
n words and form of politeness
He may pretend to say anything about him
self
But he will not show a slightest sign of kindness
hospitality and good will
So with these kind of people
Longer you stay more you find weak points
At the end their whole scheme just collapse
like paper made house
A very clever person is a person who learned many
things from others
He discovered the intelligence is in many brains
He will be the last one to look down on others or
disrespect others
Since we know how to find the truth let us think
how to find a person is stupid
It is a person who underestimate others ,based on dress
skin color and nationality.
That person no need to punish him
If you do this
You disturb him so much
He is busy doing this anyway, punishing him self
Happiness and Long life also has its mistery
It is due to secret influence for being nice to other
Being nice to those discriminated
Gives you double points
The love and respect and positive energy secretly influence
the longevity of life and happiness. This constantly work
fort those who are kind for a life with harmony with others without looking up
and down on others
The feeling of guilt and self judgment of being guilty
Can kill a person
Our self is the worst judge we can have
It is the duty and obligation of every human
to treat others kindly
Helping others in fact is indirect way to help ourselves,
for a long and happy life
Remorse can really kill a person
Its up to everyone to chose long
or short life.

The most sacred territory
Today I had idea about the most sacred territory.
A territory that every human being should respect
as much as a religious person respect his religidon
regardless to which religion he belongs,or is
a non believer
When you look to the map you would not find
such a territory on land
This territory should be inside of every human
being heart
We can say it is a virtual territory
It is called Human Dignity.
Any person, group of a person who violated
this territory end up receiving a very
strong punishment.
When There is no action to go to court, form a group,
make campaign for the punishment to be distributed
There will be a retribution later
The mystery of territory of Human Dignity and
common sacredness about it, is it's inherent
ability to make the violators punished.
In that sense it is sacred to all and
conditions to be part of this territory
is 61 years old.
Here it is:
Article 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
Revenge by Proxy
An abused person or ethnic group when they have the power there are chances they become
abusers.
And each having tasted the feelings of being abused .
Two person or two ethnic group may cooperate to abuse a third person or third
ethnic group.
How to explain the victim of yesterday, having known the pain and humiliation
of being abused in past, can subject another person or ethnic group the horrible
treatment he or she endured?
Its cowardice of revenge by proxy to a person or ethnic group who did nothing
to deserve such a treatment

Anatomy of an Abuser
Today I am going to think why a person abuse another person
and share my thoughts with readers of these words
Abuser is a person who abuses others
Human imagination is limitless and they are many kind of abuses
But you know my hobby
I will focus on
and share my thoughts with readers of these words
Abuser is a person who abuses others
Human imagination is limitless and they are many kind of abuses
But you know my hobby
I will focus on
Discriminatory abuse
involves picking on or treating someone unfairly because something about him is different, for example
race and color of skin
Lets imagine a person in childhood was fatter and much taller than others
He was discriminated by other kids and picked on.
That person when he grows
And he get a job of power
Let us say in a country like Switzerland famous for Human Rights Commission based
in Geneva.
And head office of Red Cross
A country that prides it self of not having wars for several centuries.
I even heard one German friend one day saying a phrase like this:\
-The place of last surviving Nazis, which at this time I admit I found it an abusive
statement
And that Mr Gorilla has a Job as Border Guard.
Of course it may look as an image projecting power and might.
If you ask Psychiatrists if such a person can represent a danger of abusing
innocent person that he may have in contact with, during his duty.
They will ring alarm Bells in Rome
And you can hear those bells in Tokyo
Without the help of electronic transmission
But it seems in Switzerland they lack Psychiatrists during selection
of border guardsThe art of Subtilty
Subtilty in dictionary is :- (n.) Cunning; skill; craft.
- (n.) Slyness in design; artifice; guile; a cunning design or artifice; a trick; subtlety.
- (n.) The quality or state of being subtile; thinness; fineness; as, the subtility of air or light.
some western consulates in Guangzhou
In more than one consulate there are some common patterns.
When a native citizen has some inquiry he or she receives a treatment that can be called fair and quick
When a non native citizens which outnumber the natives, present the similar inquiry
he or she receives fair treatment in words only, and their files are transferred
in to a room that can be called dark room
They are often excluded from different activities
Only when the pressure and patient persistence occurs
Painfully their files arrive to their destination.
I have sufficient writings about discrimination
Countries like Australia, Canada and other West European Countries, since many years
are suffering from birth pain of a true multicultural societies
When you walk in those countries cities, the faces are of all colors
When you go to their government offices and consulates
You just see a one color picture
The decision of turning those countries in to multicultural societies
is based to the understanding of the true reason of superiority
of the United States of different peoples of America
When mono cultural countries in Europe caused 2 world wars
More than 50.000.000 people perished
It was multicolored and multiethnic army of America
came and saved them from the hunger and misery of the war.
Destiny is human creation.Like luck, they would not exist if the humans would not
create them at the first place.
And a self created destiny has always unpredictable consequences.
Subtle or not, discrimination is the worst kind of sin when
packaged cunningly aimed to hide the true intent?
It is just adding insult to injury
