INDIANS & CHINESE IN AFRICA: 

These two cultures go to Africa to invest their entrepreneurial resources, for personal development. 

They are primarily willing to work hard, long hours, and are totally focused upon what they want to achieve. 

Unlike their African brothers, most of whom are caught up with ethnic, social, petty politics. 

Many will see these new arrivals as a threat to their development, and will try to prevent or thwart their efforts in pursuing their goals.

UGANDA Under Idi Amin:

Remember Idi Amin, former dictator of Uganda, who expelled thousands of Indian expatriates, most of who lived in Uganda for decades. owned farms, and other businesses that provided much needed revenue to the local economy. 

While many Black Ugandans, preferred to seek employment in the cities, or indulged in ethnic violence, and armed conflicts.

We Are Living In A Parallel Universe!
Today, more than ever I am thoroughly convinced that this planet, us humans, and this universe is a twin. Yes, we are in a parallel universe. I have had these suspicions for several years now, triggered by several personal experiences such as meeting someone who I know
I've met, but could not fathom where.
Seeing individuals that look exactly like someone I know personally some place and time before. They even walked, talked, and behaved like the person or individuals I've known before.
I have had dreams that took me to places that looked exactly like this planet, people or different ethnic groups and comlexions, that look just like we do on this earth, people that behaved, spoke, acted, sang, danced, made love, had sex, and did bad things exactly like we do on this planet also. I have had dreams, visions (awake and in sleep) where I met individuals that I knew somehow, we went places, did things together, and parted in a manner that baffled me to the point where as I was about to leave that person's present or company.
I watch as he/she walked away into the sunset, or into the ground literally, and disappeared from sight too. Then I realized what was happening, I realized that I was on another planet, another place and time, and that I did not truly belong there.
At least not at that time.
Then I awoke, and wonder if that individual realized how was happening also, and if that individual had the same experience that I was having with such an encounter too? I also had experiences on another planet that looked like ours, where I was killed, and as the blade or gunshot struck me, I awoke immediately, and realize that I was still alive, and back on earth, as though nothing happened.
Then I realize once more that a parallel existence MUST be a reality for me to be so convinced, and recognizable.
The Prophets, Seers, Shamans, and Spiritual Leaders Of Yore Realized It Too:
Yes, these people realized it to, but was also like me, unable to comprehend what they too were experiencing back then.
They tried to explain these things in the light of their own cultural experiences, background, and interpretation,
So many points of view were expressed and shared about them. Some said it was an after life, Some said it was re-incarnation of souls until finally, the individual would reach Nirvana, or the completion of the soul's journey to enlightenment.
Others call it Heaven in recent times with the advent of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other faiths.
But all of these peoples and religious philosophies subscribed to some after life, or some other existence that us humans are a part of, and could expect to experience if we behave in certain ways, or believe in certain doctrines prescribed by our Elders of yore.
All with the intent to mould our minds to work towards making this perception a reality at some future time. Today, it is referred to as
The End Time, or The Coming of The Mufti, or the Advent Of The Christ, or The Return Of The Caliph.
 
Can Anyone Prove That We Are Indeed In A Parallel Universe?
I don't think with our current scientific technologies that would be possible. And I also don't think humans will ever be able to transcend time and space.
Because we as physical beings AGE.
And to be able to transcend Time And Space, requires preventing the Aging Process From Taking Place Physically. And we are all aware, that all material things are transformed via the aging stages, in it's development processes.
The invisible essence of all things is yet to be fully comprehended by as humans. At least with our limited and sometimes confused perception, of what we call The Human Reality or Experience.

Barack Obama's Health Care Plan Explained!
 
As far as I understand, anyone who does not have Health Care, can have it under the Obama proposal.

* If you already have Health Care, and are satisfied with it. Then you can KEEP your health Care Plan. You don't have to change it period.

* The other OPTION is The Public One, which will allow anyone without Health Care already, to choose that Public Plan.

* It will give you the same benefits as the Private Plan does, under Obama's proposals.

The general concept of the plan is to ensure that ALL Americans have a Viable and Reliable Health Care Plan, regardless of their employment or Un-employment status!

The US Economy's Decline Is Almost Stabilized:
 
The Obama administration seem to believe that the national economy has reached Rock Bottom, and the rate of un-employment is decreasing steadily.

So how are we going to know for sure, when employers will re-hire fired employees, start hiring again, or even resort to giving back their employees the normal forty hour per week work schedule?

The current data indicates that un-employment is at 12 %. And that figure will increase, but not greatly as the National Economy Stimulus Package starts taking effect.

Any yet I saw in the news that New York State governor is complaining that as yet, he has not received his state's Stimulus Package monies.

So I am wondering about California's economy on the verge of bankruptcy, with layoffs in the thousands, Federal spending cuts in the millions, shorter working hours across the board for almost every industry or enterprise.

And I ask myself if the American people could continue to hold on much longer, hoping that things will improve in their respective areas anytime soon.
Furthermore, only 3% of the Initial Stimulus Package was invested in the economy, so those who are thinking about another stimulus package, should acquaint themselves with the facts, before anticipating catastrophe just yet!

Racial Profiling In France!

France has a national philosophy that says 'we are a color blind society This ideal or concept contradicts the reality on the ground in France, for the following reasons.

* If you are a Black, Arab, Caribbean native, or Non White male, chances are, you would be stopped and frisked or asked for identity papers on the streets by the Police in France.

This is the current reality, and is has been so for decades.

France as far as I am aware, does not keep a record of Racial Profiling by the Police in any region or province, to validate these accusations. But thousands of individuals have complained that they were frisked or asked to show identity papers just because they were non-White, even though they did nothing wrong or broke any laws.  

This Police Profiling is something that is taken for granted by those who indulge in it, because they claim that certain crimes are evident within certain communities. Especially the Arab, Black, and Immigrant communities.

But I say that this is just another stereotype that has been allowed to fester for decades, without challenge from the political establishment. Probably because those that are profiled by the Police does not have the political clout to create a national outcry, or embarrass the status quo.

Until the French people and their government legislate for the social protection of those who are not French by nationality. And provide Legislation that penalizes any Policeman for arresting or harassing any Non White, just because he was perceived as a criminal. 

This will continue to plague Communities Of Color in France on a daily basis.

The Wars Of The Future Are Cyber Wars!

Today global communication is conducted primarily via computer technology and Internet accessing. The computer has become the modus operandi for us to communicate with each other on a global scale, hitherto unheard of.

Our military systems are also dependent on this technology to operate missiles, launch missiles, launch satellites, and launch directives or codes that will send drones, or warheads towards an enemy thousands of miles away, that is unseen.

The ability to hack into military systems, or law enforcement systems, or National Security Systems are VERY REAL indeed, with expert computer hackers.

Some of which do so for a fee, others to interrupt or sabotage, others to brag about.

This reality is the concern of most or all governments worldwide, and are being contemplated on with their own defense systems, manned by officially conscripted hackers to work for the state, to guard or prevent their individual systems from being sabotaged or compromised by hackers.

So How Could We Avoid Any Major Catastrophe?

There have been some state to state hacking already, and the victimized states are already known. But hacking into computers worldwide is being done on a daily, and hourly basis. So those governments that are seriously bent of protecting their security networks or systems, MUST endeavor to implement certain technological changes and Fire Walls, to prevent sophisticated hacking into their systems.

And this will naturally cost large sums of revenue to pay for the know how, the recruits, and systems to build, develop, and monitor.

But it has to be done!

The B.R.I.C. Coalition Launched!
 
This acronym is the name of four developing countries that encourages trade with each other, in a global market place that is too heavily dependent upon the US dollar.

These countries are Brazil Russia, India, and China.

With their emerging economies, and need for sustainable mineral resources for internal development programs and growth. They share a common interest, that when combined in trade will allow them to grow more equitably in the international market arena.

And may also allow them to not be so impacted as much as they are currently, if or when there is another global financial scam/crisis, their dependency upon the US dollar will be less severe.

It is hoped that at some time in the future, a global Super Currency may be introduced, alongside the US dollar, in order for states to have another means to ensure financial stability and security, should another financial crisis like the one we see currently arise.

The Separation Of Religion & Secularism In Iran
Is Absolutely Necessary!

Iranians at the end of this struggle will have to recognize and come to terms with the following facts:

How much longer will Iranians tolerate the involvement of the Ayatollah in Politics, Political Representatives, and Governance?
 
The Supreme Ayatollah MUST Be Done Away With In Iran!

The only way for TRUE Democracy and Freedom of choice to be realized in Iran, is to get rid of the position of Supreme Leader or Ayatollah, and the Supreme Council.

And replace it with a National Constitution based on Democracy, the Rule Of Law, Free and Fair national elections, freedom to public, speak freely, dissent, and agitate for change.
 
The Brazilian/France Aircraft Disaster Update!

Russian television said that the France/Brazilian aircraft that crashed into the sea, broke up in midair.

And the passengers fell from a great height into the sea. That was why they had multiple injuries to their limbs.

Be Prepared For Another Flip Flop
Health Care Bill Eventually!

The Health Care Proposals and Comprehensive Immigration Legislation may very well get so watered down, that the final product will be of no use to anyone.

If president Obama keep insisting that the Republicans must get on board.

And those who do ( and possibly very few), will require a very watered down bill. Which will not deliver what president Obama has promised time and again.

And I will not be surprised, because he has "Flip Flopped" so many times already, that this one will just be another one of those!

What Does Freedom & Democracy Mean To Iranians?

Sometimes I ask myself if those of us outside of Iran, or the middle Eastern countries truly understand how democracy and freedom is perceived and is expected to be practiced in those countries. And because of the different perceptions and practices of democracy in the East and West, we sometimes feel that we can make statements on it at anytime, feeling that there is a commonly understood concept of democratic governance in all cultures.

Which is certainly not so!

However, as I see it, the outpouring of youths, and women in large numbers against the perceived rigging of this election results, says to me that their must be a perception from the opposition's supporters and voters that something unfair or illegal was done, in order to get the current result or winner of this election.

The Women and most Young people who participated in this election had expectations for equal rights, freedom of expression, freedom of the Internet, the local media, and freedom to peacefully agitate for changes, without being harassed by the security agencies or Police, or incarcerated for so doing.

And the opposing contender seem to have garnered the support of mostly young people and women, who genuinely believed that their representative, if elected will address these issues and concerns.

Even though both political contenders swore allegiance to the Supreme Ayatollah, and the Islamic State, before they were allowed to contend for the presidency. And even if the losing side had won this election, it would not have prevented the Supreme Ayatollah from intervening in the government anytime he perceives that his conservative position was under threat.

So what happens after the recount?

If after a recount is done, and Achmedinajad is still the winner, the opposition will have to abide by the result of this recount. And his supporters will probably go along with it too in sorrow. But I hope that the struggle will never cease or die in frustration. But that the youths and women generally, will continue to agitate for these issues to be addressed by their government, for the freedom to express their fears, anger, and expectations peacefully, in the future.

Netanyahu Wants Freedom To Violate Palestinian Air Space!

This is the most ridiculous proposal ever by Israel, for Palestinians to comply with.

Prime Minister Netanyahu wants the Air Space over Palestine to be open to Israel's Air Force and Air Strikes, before he will agree to Palestinian Sovereignty.

True sovereignty means total control of all Land Mass, Sea Ports, International Water Boundaries, and Air Space.

I say to all Palestinians, this is tantamount to Hypocrisy and continued Lordship over Palestine.

And MUST never be accepted by any Palestinian Leadership or Arab nation in that region.

How Do We Define Human Rights In Iran?

Whoever emerges as the winner in Iran's election, will have to define the concept of Human Rights.

Is it Human Rights under the Islamic Concepts?

Or is Human Rights under the United Nations Concepts?

Until the new leader is able to define his position on the above, he may just be another pawn to the Absolute Ayatollah's dictates.

With regard to diplomatic relations with the West or the USA. Subtle diplomacy aught to be the policy going forward.

Because if the new leader continues to use aggressive and defamatory rhetoric towards America publicly, then the ability to indulge in positive and constructive diplomatic relations with America may be jeopardized.

And may result in the continued portrayal of both cultures, as cantankerous and not to be trusted or believed.

Internet Access Discontinuation Law Thrown Out Of France Appeal's Court!

The Recording Industry Association of America is taking a dangerous step with its decision to stop suing suspected music sharers and start cutting off their Internet access instead.

This law would have penalized anyone who knowingly downloaded music files or movies illegally.

And anyone who was caught would be Firstly warned via a notice, and Secondly their Internet access would be discontinued.

The Court said Free Internet Access is a Right. And only a judge could decide if or how to penalize anybody for internet use.

Hurray for Free Internet Access, and Free File Sharing on the Internet.

What Does Belarus Mean?

Well, Belarus is a former Soviet Colony.

It refers to the White Russians who battled the Soviets for control following the Russian Revolution.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Belarus may be behaving in such a manner lately, with it's former colonizer Russia.

By making statements that could be interpreted to mean, a breakaway from that alliance or courtship

UN Security Council Enacts New Harsh Proposals!

But will the Dear Leader Kim Jung IL comply or change his ways?

However, it is also time to incorporate some more countries into the Security Council. Because the current ones represented therein, cannot adequately represent or incorporate the feelings or views of the new developing countries.
