Chet Raymo, “The Still Small Voice”
*“The Still Small Voice”* by Chet Raymo "There is a power in nature, restless and terrible- storm, wildfire, earthquake, tidal wave. There is a delicacy too, to which we attend with a more perceptive eye and ear- the woolly bear caterpillar in the grass, the red-tailed hawk circling high and silent above the meadow, the six-dotted shadow of the water strider on the bottom of the pond. I think of lines from a poem of Grace Schulman, a poem called “In Place of Belief”: “...I would eavesdrop, spy, and keep watch on the chance, however slight, that the unseen might dazzle into sight.” ... read more

The Poet: Paul Laurence Dunbar, "We Wear The Mask "
*"We Wear The Mask "* "We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be overwise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask! " - Paul Laurence Dunbar read more

"Attitude..."
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot... read more

Massive Police Brutality Recorded in Australia During Rally for Freedom as Thousands Take to the Streets
A "World Wide Rally for Freedom" was heavily promoted in Australia the past couple of weeks for yesterday, September 18, 2021. The police state in Australia has become so bad that they are now tracking their citizens' cell phone usage and social media posts, trying to arrest would-be protesters and lock them in their homes even before rallies are started. Police were armed with pepper spray, and from some of the video clips I have seen they were all too willing to use it whenever they could. As could be expected, there was some push back. Here is a short video report I have put t... read more

Chinese stonemasons and restaurants in Lombardy/Veneto regions--underground textile workers also. Indeed a trade treaty between Venice and the Mongol Empire was established in 1221, illustrating their ambitions to extend their trading capacities across Central Asia. Both luxury goods and daily necessities were exchanged in the markets of Venice, from salt and grain to porcelain and pearl. Similarly gems, mineral dyes, peacock feathers, spices and a profusion of textiles such as silks, cottons and brocades from Egypt, Asia Minor and the Far East all passed through the p... read more

A Polish Plane Almost Beat Britain’s Iconic Spitfire Out of the History Books*David Axe* *Royal Air Force, Europe* In 1934, the Polish P.24 was actually one of the fastest and most heavily-armed fighter prototypes in the world. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *“No aircraft is as hallowed as the Spitfire,” Holland concludes. For Britain’s sake, it’s probably a good thing that the assessors never gave the P.24 a fighting chance. Early in the war, the Polish plane flew in combat with the Polish, Greek and Romanian air forces, but proved inferior to most enemy fighters. The Supermarine Spitfire fighter was arguably the most important British warplane of W... read more

ISIS Couldn't Get Its Stolen Air Force off the Ground*David Axe* *ISIS, Middle East* The story began when the insurgent group Syrian Islamic Liberation Front, or SILF, overran Ksheesh airbase east of Aleppo. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The non-flying insurgent air force didn’t last long. Al Abdouli died fighting in the Raqqa area.

And in 2014, Islamic State fighters overran the base. Between 2013 and 2017 a small number of L-39 light attack jets at a Syrian ai... read more

Durban And 9/11The World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (WCAR) was a watershed conference for a number of reasons. Coming at the end of a decade-long series of gatherings of global civil society sponsored by the United Nations, the WCAR represented a continuation of a progressive trend, which brought thousands of activists together to participate in the NGO forum of a UN gathering and to participate, in a much-limited manner, in the official State proceedings. However, from the time that the WCAR was announced, it also became clear that this ... read more

Likely Assassination Of United Nations Chief Happened 60 Years AgoUnited Nations -The United Nations is considering reopening its investigation into the mysterious 1961 plane crash that killed then-U.N. chief Dag Hammarskjöld after new evidence of possible foul play emerged. The U.N. General Assembly put the case back on its agenda in March at the recommendation of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon after more than half a century of speculation that the Swedish diplomat’s plane was either sabotaged or shot down. Mr. Ban’s recommendation came after a report by the independent Hammarskjöld commission, formed in 2012 with the participation of South Afr... read more

Understanding The Basics Of 21st-Century Democracy, Autocracy, And Capitalism"Residential communities in many parts of the modern world operate in formal democracies. However, they usually allow individuals with high levels of income and wealth to use these means to influence others in their voting, whereas individuals with low levels of income and wealth can and usually do wield less influence. The capitalist economic system generates precisely that unequal distribution of income and wealth that creates and sustains a wide gap between formal and real democracy in the world today. That gap in turn reinforces capitalism." The post Understanding The Basics O... read more
