POLITICAL ABROGATIONISM AS AN ADVOCACY FOR REAL, GLOBAL AND MORAL DEMOCRACY

In the morning of May 16, 2007 I went in front of the Thai Embassy in
Makati City. That was about 10:35 in the morning before lunch-break. I held a peaceful and lawful protest-action in front of the Thai embassy to persuade the Thai government to return democracy back to the Thai people. I was able to enter the lounge at the ground-floor of the embassy. I was miraculously allowed by the embassy's security guards and employees to deliver a "letter appealing for the return of democracy in Thailand". I was also allowed by the Thai embassy's security guards and employees to put balloons (which had slogans for democracy) at the front-side garden of the embassy. The slogans on those balloons were the following:
1.) "FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY FOR THAILAND!"

2.) "PEACEFULLY AND LAWFULLY DEMOCRATIZE THE WHOLE WORLD NOW!"

After putting those balloons at the front-side garden of the Thai Embassy, I burned some few incenses and prayed right there in front of such embassy for the return of democracy in Thailand. After some few minutes I took out all those balloons and gave all of those things away for free to the passers-by. That action was a peaceful and lawful one. I'm planning to repeat such type of peaceful and lawful action in front of other foreign embassies that are currently representing dictatorial and despotic national governments in the coming days. I already did only recently some similar actions to the other embassies of Southeast Asian countries which do need serious democratization-process now. Such were the embassies of Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and others. My advocacy is called "political abrogationism". Such advocacy wants to peacefully and lawfully abolish all the dictatorships, monarchic reigns and despotic regimes all over this world. Such advocacy wants every country, every social organization and every culture in this world to peacefully and lawfully embrace real, global and moral democracy.

SUMMARY OF ONE_MAN RALLY AT THE THAI EMBASSY.


The following were the contents of the letter that I gave to the Thai ambassador on that

said day:


"Thailand was once a shining example of a free and democratic country in Southeast

Asia. Thailand has once a democratic government that once was urging its neighboring

states, like the nation of Myanmar or Burma, to be democratized and allow the reign of

human rights among their peoples. But now Thailand has become a country of uncertainty-

its democracy was replaced with military rule. Thailand's military generals have formed a

junta that is currently governing the Thai people. Many civil liberties of Thais have been

suppressed. Human-rights' violations all over Thailand has become rampant once again.


I hope that the current Thai ambassador in the Philippines can urge the current Thai

junta to give way to democracy and allow the reign of human rights and civil liberties once

again among the Thai people. I hope that the Thai people can work peacefully and lawfully

for the democratization of Thailand and its neighbor- Burma. I hope that the current Thai

ambassador to the Philippines can urge the leadership of the U.N. to allow the

democratization and the holding of free elections in the whole U.N. Organization. I also hope

that the Thai government can help pressure the Burmese junta to release Miss Aung San

Suu Kyi, and, also, to give way to democracy.


I hope that the Thai people will once again have the privilege and responsible freedom

to elect their government leaders. The Filipino people have been successful in holding free

elections last May 14, 2007. I hope that the Thai people can have their free elections once

again in their own country. Best wishes to the current Thai ambassador in the Philippines!

Peaceful and lawful democratization for Thailand and for this whole world!

Human rights and civil liberties for all the humanity of this world!!!!!"

I believe in political abrogationism. It is an advocacy which preaches that all dictatorships, monarchic reigns and despotic regimes all over this world should all be abolished peacefully and lawfully. Political abrogationism also preaches that every country, every social organization and every culture in this world should peacefully and lawfully embrace democracy. Political abrogationism is just an advocacy. I know that the ultimate objectives of such an advocacy are nearly-impossible to achieve. I know that such an advocacy is some kind of a doctrine dreaming of a perfect world. I didn't create such advocacy to really make democracy become absolute all over this world. We know that most countries in this world right now are already democracies. And I know that some situations will occur on this planet that can give way to dictatorial rule in some parts of this world. I created the advocacy of political abrogationism for the main purpose of making the wise citizens of this world become always vigilant in their lifetimes in defending the importance of human rights, democracy, civil liberties, constitutional processes and responsible freedoms for all the humanity of this world. Such form of vigilance should always guide humanity in the march for global stability and progress. In such a way, the awareness of the importance of individual self-manifestations and self-expressions being coordinated to social harmony and pluralism among the humanity of this planet would always be safeguarded by the wise citizens of this world.

I once joined several on-line campaigns that petitioned Pervez Musharraf (the current President of Pakistan) to resign from his illegitimate presidency and give way to the return of democracy in Pakistan. We made several appeals to the many internet forums all over the world to make the whole international community pressure Musharraf to give way to the return of democracy in Pakistan. I did that starting 2003. This year the world saw Pakistan's democracy returning successfully. A newly-elected parliament came into existence in Pakistan. The democratic procedures and processes had returned back to normalcy in Pakistan. Pervez Musharraf's illegitimate presidency will naturally be overcome by such democratic procedures and processes. This time around I will stop appealing for Pervez Musharraf to resign from his illegal presidency. The reason is that Musharraf's illegal presidency will automatically crumble in due time because such illegal rule will be naturally and lawfully abrogated by Pakistan's democratic procedures and processes. In fact, Musharraf's illegal rule now is more like a ceremonial position which is seemingly without any significance to the duly-elected constitutional government of Pakistan.

Pres. Gloria Arroyo of the Philippines was once tagged as someone who had manipulated the year 2004 national elections in our country. I once joined the peaceful and lawful protest-actions in year 2005 calling for Mrs. Arroyo to allow the democratic processes to prove her legitimacy as the president of the Philippines. And the democratic procedures and processes in our country had now proven that she had really won the year 2004 presidential election. And I have to respect the natural and universal methods and procedures of democracy. Now Mrs. Glo Arroyo is now again involved in a graft and corruption scandal that has degraded her moral responsibility to govern the country. I wouldn't call upon Mrs. Arroyo to resign now from her presidency. I would just have to allow the constitutional process to take its own natural course on such issue and, then, just allow Mrs. Arroyo to decide on her own about clinging on to or resigning from her scandal-prone presidency. And such things are obvious. But the Arroyo admin should always respect the constitutional procedures and processes.

Political abrogationism is merely one of the many human affirmations that do express the reality that democracy is a guiding light for moral order and a necessity for the protection and securing of human rights, responsible freedoms and civil liberties of all human beings in this world. Hence, political abrogationism merely affirms the reality that democracy is a guiding light and a necessity for the humanity of this world.That is what the advocacy of global democracy means to me. That is what the advocacy of global democracy should mean to the whole humanity of this world. This world needs real, global and moral democracy. All the wise citizens of this world know such necessity. All the wise citizens of this world should champion political abrogationism now.

Three Basic Reasons On Why Obama Has To Gain The US Presidency

I believe that the white American voters, whether pro-Democratic or pro-Republican, should now vote willingly for Barack Obama. What I mean is that this is a rare opportunity for the white American voters to prove to the world that American democracy can allow someone from a minority or underclass group to gain the US presidency. This opportunity is a one-in-a-million chance to be repeated again within this century. This may not happen again for the next 100 years. Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. I have to say that white Americans must deliver the US presidency on a silver platter directly to Obama. No questions asked..... Just do it! It is just and righteous to do so!



Before I give out the 3 basic reasons on why WHITE AMERICAN VOTERS should deliver the US presidency on a silver platter to Barack Obama, the American people should re-read their national history once again. By doing so, the American people will understand the social injustices that the black Americans had endured throughout their history.

First, let us review the social injustices that the black Americans had received and endured throughout their history.

Slavery

Read the following excerpts from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States to know how long slavery existed in the USA before it was finally abrogated:

"The first record of African slavery in Colonial America occurred in 1619.
The transformation from indentured servitude to racial slavery happened gradually. There were no laws regarding slavery early in Virginia's history. However, by 1640 the Virginia courts had sentenced at least one black servant to slavery.

In 1654, John Casor, a black man, became the first legally-recognized slave in the area to become the United States. A court in Northampton County ruled against Casor, declaring him property for life, "owned" by the black colonist Anthony Johnson. Since persons with African origins were not English citizens by birth, they were not necessarily covered by English Common Law.

The Virginia Slave codes of 1705 made clear the status of slaves. During the British colonial period, every colony had slavery. Those in the north were primarily house servants. Early on, slaves in the South worked on farms and plantations growing indigo, rice, and tobacco; cotton became a major crop after the 1790s. In South Carolina in 1720 about 65% of the population consisted of slaves. Slaves were used by rich farmers and plantation owners with commercial export operations. Backwoods subsistence farmers seldom owned slaves.

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863 was a powerful move that promised freedom for slaves in the Confederacy as soon as the Union armies reached them, and authorized the enlistment of African Americans in the Union Army. The Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in the Union-allied slave-holding states that bordered the Confederacy. Since the Confederate States did not recognize the authority of President Lincoln, and the proclamation did not apply in the border states, at first the proclamation freed only slaves who had escaped behind Union lines. Still, the proclamation made the abolition of slavery an official war goal that was implemented as the Union took territory from the Confederacy. According to the Census of 1860, this policy would free nearly four million slaves, or over 12% of the total population of the United States.

Legally, the last 40,000 or so slaves were freed in Kentucky by the final ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in December 1865. Slaves still held in New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland and Missouri also became legally free on this date. It took more than 200 years for the American nation to finally abolish slavery. "
After slavery, the black Americans went on to deal with racial discrimination, the Ku Klux Klan, racial segregation in the South, and the ghetto-settings for some of them in the modern times.

When Ku Klux Klan Became Powerful
The Ku Klux Klan became a powerful extremist organization right after the US Civil War. Such group became so abusive in its effort to bring back white supremacy in the South after the American Civil War. According to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_Act,
"the Civil Rights Act of 1871, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, is an important federal statute in force in the United States. Several of its provisions still exist today as codified statutes, but the most important still-existing provision is 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Act was originally enacted a few years after the American Civil War, along with the 1870 Force Act. One of the chief reasons for its passage was to protect southern blacks from the Ku Klux Klan by providing a civil remedy for abuses then being committed in the South. The statute has been subject to only minor changes since then, but has been the subject of voluminous interpretation by courts."

Racial Segregation In The South And The Peaceful Civil-Rights Struggle
After the powerful-Ku Klux Klan episode, the blacks
have to deal with racial-segregation concerns in the South.
These excerpts from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_segregation tell us how racial segregation ended in the South of USA:

"Institutionalized racial segregation was ended as an official practice by the efforts of such civil rights activists as Clarence Mitchell, Jr., Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., working during the period from the end of World War II through the passage of the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 supported by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Many of their efforts were acts of non-violent civil disobedience aimed at disrupting the enforcement of racial segregation rules and laws, such as refusing to give up a seat in the black part of the bus to a white person (Rosa Parks), or holding sit-ins at all-white diners.

By 1968 all forms of segregation had been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and by 1970, support for formal legal segregation had dissolved. Formal racial discrimination was illegal in school systems, businesses, the American military, other civil services and the government. Separate bathrooms, water fountains and schools all disappeared and the civil rights movement had the public's support.

Since then, African-Americans have played a significant role as mayors, governors, and state officials in both Southern and Northern states and on the national level have been on the Supreme Court, in the House of Representatives and the Senate, in presidential cabinets, and other known public offices."


I think it's high time now for the white Americans to voluntarily give the US presidency to Barack Obama. And it should be on a silver platter. Both Dems and Repubs should just give the presidency to Obama, that is through election, voluntarily and willingly. I have to say that white Americans must deliver the US presidency on a silver platter directly to Obama. No questions asked..... Just do it! It is just and righteous to do so! I have to state the following reasons why such should happen now in the US:

1.) As A Way To Recompense The Black Americans For The Past Social Injustices Done Against Them And Their Ancestors.....

It can not be denied that the blacks had suffered various forms of discrimination from the white majority in the US for a long, long time now. The above-mentioned articles, all of which are historical facts, have already enumerated the long list of various types of discrimination and the oppressions that the blacks had systematically suffered and endured during the past years, decades and centuries. Giving the presidency to Obama (that means voluntarily electing him to the presidency) should be seen as a way to recompense the black Americans for the past injustices that they had suffered systematically throughout US history. It would be some kind of a just and righteous reparation for black Americans if the white majority can voluntarily allow a black man, that is Barack Obama, to win the US presidency. It would be a one-in-a-million chance to have a black American become a US president now. Such one-in-a-million chance can only be repeated after a long, long time. Why would the white majority squander such rare opportunity now when it's high time for them to recompense the black minority for the past injustices that had been done against the black Americans on the basis of racial-superiority complex? Such one-in-a-million chance is already in front of the white American voters. Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. Such rare chance of a lifetime should not be squandered.

2.) The US Should Set A Good Example For Democracy.....

The US really has to show to the whole world that its democracy is really working fine. And the US has to convince many nations of this planet that America really has the most efficient and practical democracy in the modern world. Such a notion would really be enshrined in the minds of many citizens of the world if the American people can elect someone who belongs to a minority-ethnic or minority-racial grouping. Why would the white Americans squander such opportunity when the US is leading a global campaign against terrorism and, also, patronizing pro-democracy movements all over the globe? The white Americans must voluntarily vote for Obama to prove to the whole world that American democracy is not discriminatory in anyway. The USA should have the moral ascendancy in fighting against extremist-Islamic terrorism that is now menacing the whole modern world.

One way of defeating extremist-Islamic fanaticism is to help democratize the whole Middle Eastern region now. The Middle East region is the main cultural center of Islam and the inspirational cradle and bastion of extremist-Islamic fanaticism in today's world. The USA must inspire all the peoples of the Middle East region to work hard in democratizing the whole region. The election of a black man to the US presidency would give the USA the moral ascendancy in proclaiming to the whole Middle Eastern region the urgency and need for its nations (the Middle Eastern countries) to embrace democracy now. With moral ascendancy the US, which is leading the global struggle to end extremist-Islamic fanaticism all over this planet, can easily defeat the global terrorism being waged by the extremist-Islamic fanatics from all parts of this world.

3.) As A Way Of The United States Reaching Out To The Many Oppressed Citizens Of This World.....

The American nation has to reach out its hands to the oppressed citizens of the world. The cousins of the black Americans are mostly residing in African states. Africa today is the world's poorest region. Africa's vast natural resources had long been exploited or used by the white-dominated Western countries of the world. But most black African nations are
impoverished and hungry. The US must have a black president now to prove to the oppressed citizens of this world that capitalism and democracy can work effectively without spewing out various forms of racial discrimination. The modern world is also being besieged by various forms of banditry and violent insurgencies. Such banditry and violent insurgencies often threaten the stability of many Third World and developing democracies. Such banditry and violent insurgencies often become training and breeding grounds for global terrorism. Some oppressed citizens of this world are often attracted to violent upheavals perpetrated by bandits and insurgents. Hence, many oppressed citizens of this world become recruits for banditry, insurgency and global terrorism.

One way of reaching out to such oppressed citizens of the world is to inspire them that democracy can really work justly and righteously for any society. Being inspired by a non-discriminatory and really righteous democracy, many oppressed citizens of the world would rather just gladly work out to struggle peacefully and legally for social justice under democratic principles than become bandits, insurgents and global terrorists fighting for the establishment of an ideological dictatorship. The US can inspire the oppressed citizens of this planet to become truly-dedicated to human rights and democracy by showing them that American democracy can catapult to the presidency someone who belongs either to a social-minority sector or an underclass grouping. And the US does have such opportunity now to catapult someone like that to the US presidency- in the person of Barack Obama. The US must show to the oppressed citizens of the modern world that peaceful and legal means can really work to reform a society. They (the oppressed citizens of this world) , too, can work out peacefully and lawfully to have a democracy that doesn't discriminate any human being on the basis of race, religion, culture, ethnicity, and social class.

I would say the same reasons if Barack Obama happens to be a Republican. It just so happened that Obama is a Democratic nominee for the US presidency. But the responsibility of electing Obama to the US presidency falls upon the shoulders of all the existing political parties in the United States. I have already stated the 3 basic reasons on why all white American voters and all sectors of the American society should support, endorse and vote for Barack Obama in the coming US presidential election. It's now up to the American people to make such presidential aspiration become a reality and success.

I've revised some minor portions of this article on June 11, 2008. Thanks.

OBAMA IS THE MAN!

OBAMA IS A GREAT MAN...........

Obama is the new face of progress in American politics if ever he gets elected as US president this year. He symbolizes the aspiration of the American Blacks to really get racial equality to the fullest when it comes to opportunities and rights of individual human beings. His father came from the Third World..... so Obama does have some Third World roots. He also studied (about 3 elementary years) and partly grew up as a child in Indonesia- a Third World country in Asia. Obama knows how to live in a Third World country. Obama winning the White House would symbolically mean that the Third World would now be represented in the White House. That's why many citizens from the Third World see Obama as their champion and, to a certain extent, their new hope for global leadership. Obama also knows how it feels to be in ghetto situations, for he did social works in ghetto areas that do have Third World flavors (features). Obama knows what a ghetto looks like as compared to John McCain. The presidential race between Obama and McCain can be seen as a 'competition between 2 well-known progressives'. Such competition is really interesting especially if Obama would have Hillary as running mate and McCain would have Giuliani as his v.p. nominee. It would really be a 'competition among the progressives to gain the White House' if such tickets would really materialize now. And the prospect of Americans having more than 3 official presidential candidates this year would really make the US presidential race become more exciting. Whether it's McCain or Obama (Obama has the upper hand) who gains the US presidency, it would be certain that the next US president who will succeed George W. Bush would be a progressive, not a conservative. But it would be Obama who would be seen as the better champion of progressive causes in the US because he has Third World roots and he knows the ghetto sub-culture that dominates many Black American families. Obama's presidential campaign is a campaign for real racial equality in the USA and the championing of the aspirations of the citizens of Third World countries to improve their political and economic conditions. The peoples of Third World countries would gladly endorse Obama for the US presidency. The world would be much happier if Obama wins this year's US presidential election.

Obama has graduated from Harvard University, and he knows well that Islamic fanaticism -inspired terrorism is a major threat against the whole world. Obama, being a rational, empirical and pragmatic guy, would surely defend the American citizens all over the globe from the dangers of global terrorism. Obama's youthful energy would surely be a plus-factor in his policies against global terrorism if he gets elected in the White House.

Obama will overcome all those slanders and smear-campaigns against his presidential aspiration. His courage for global peace and harmony will make him succeed in his quest for the White House.

Obama is a modern-day Cinderella who can work efficiently and gladly with the peacemakers of the world. The imperialists are being viewed as bad step moms by most citizens of this world. Obama is really a new icon for the new generation.

The huge amount of urban legends against Obama that some of the supporters of John McCain are generating is actually helping Obama become more and more popular to the whole world. Up against Obama are the Ku Klux Klan, the racists, the neo-Nazis, the fanatics of White-rule doctrine, the imperialists, the hawkish elements, the elitists and the traditional politicians of the United States of America. All of those US supremacist-groups are financing, generating and inventing tall tales against Obama. Such would only make Obama the icon of the oppressed citizens of the world and an underclass hero for the Americans. Obama is really a great man of the modern world. Obama is the man.....

Gloria Arroyo's Intelligence Quiz

Gloria Arroyo's Intelligence Quiz

While visiting England, Gloria Arroyo is invited to tea with the Queen. She asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. She asks how she knows if they're intelligent.

"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate."
She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am."

"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mrs. Arroyo?"

"Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"

Upon returning to the Philipines, she decides she'd better put the National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales to the test. She summons Norberto Gonzales to the Malacañang Palace and says, "Mr. Norberto Gonzales, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, mom. What's on your mind?"
"Uh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Norberto hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Mrs. Arroyo agrees, and Norberto Gonzales leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of senior military and police officers, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Norberto Gonzales calls Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita at the Department of National Defense and explains his problem.
"Now look here Mr. Eduardo Ermita, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother, or your sister. Who is it?" Ermita answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you dumb ass."

Much relieved, Norberto Gonzales rushes back to the Malacañang Palace and exclaims, "I know the answer, mom! I know who it is! It's Eduardo Ermita!" And Glo Mac Arroyo replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb ass..... It's Tony Blair!"

(SUCH STORY WAS TOLD TO ME BY A FRIEND OF MINE. THE WHOLE STORY IS CLEARLY A FICTION AND JUST A JOKE.....)

ISLAM LABELED AS THE MOST BACKWARD ORGANIZED RELIGION IN THE MODERN WORLD!!!!!

APRIL 2, 2008

The following texts were copied from:

The message was about the promotion of a web-page which

is http://www.inthenameofallah.org/ . It's a web page explaining the dangers that fanatical Islamism is posing against the whole humanity of this world.

The message should be read with an open mind.

"ABOUT http://www.inthenameofallah.org/ "


In the name of Allah… (Letter to the reader)

“… To those who profess the 'Religion of Islam', this site will seem offensive, untruthful, hatemongering, one sided and unfair.

All I would like the reader to do is to have the intellectual inquisitiveness, to persevere, to continue reading and investigating. God has given humanity the ability to think, to evaluate, to imagine, to compare and contrast and then to come to conclusions based upon knowledge. This is what differentiates the faculties of human beings from the other members of the Animal Kingdom.

Almost all human beings are 'indoctrinated' by their parents, their society and their culture to grow up believing what they have been taught. No human being chooses his or her beliefs at birth. We all, Muhammadans, Moussawis (Jews), Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Animists,etc. are the end product of our upbringing. None of us ever chose the ideas, beliefs, doctrines and traditions that we hold since we never had any choice in the matter. None of us are 'guilty' of who and what we end up as, whether Muslims, Jews, Christians or otherwise. We are all 'victims' of years of relentless and unremitting 'programming'.
Belief is not rational. It does not lend itself or tolerate questioning, investigation, modification or contradiction. It is an ALL or NOTHING state of mind. It is totally fixed in Time and Space.

Even upon maturity and with all the colossal amount of information that is available to the individual, from books, internet, TV, radio and all other means of information technology, the individual still finds it almost impossible to question one's core beliefs; even if the individual is not 'religious'. This is because our 'programming' has been so intense that we cannot easily look objectively upon our beliefs from the outside in.
The human mind even, among the most 'cultured' and 'intelligent' individuals, is infinitely complex and is able of having 'multiple and contradictory personalities' within the same body none of which knows that the 'other' exists.

Each individual, to start with, has at least two personalities: for good and for evil. Many humans can look at 'reality' eye ball to eye ball and yet can deny its existence; it refuses to accept it. Knowledge and intelligence are NOT a prerequisite for 'objective' and 'realistic' rational thinking.

If upon double- checking, investigating, comparing and contrasting the information here in with the records and information that are available to most literate human beings, and the reader finds fault, untruth, fabrication, alteration or deception anywhere, then please let him/her take up the challenge and collect the reward. It is this simple

Within this website you will find the most accurate, and detailed analysis of the Quranic verses available. The author of this website has dedicated a lifetime of study to exposing the doctrines and falsehoods contained in Muhammadan Islam using the Quran itself as evidence.

_______________________________________________________________________

Such was an article that I've read from the website called Israel.place. It was posted by Solzheschnitzel, an active forum-member of Israel.place. Actually there are many intellectuals in the world today who view Islam as a backward and barbaric religion that needs improvement or reformation. I do subscribe to the fact that Islam still has many despotic traditions that haven't been altered nor abrogated. The mentioned web page, that is together with its web-links, has been challenging the rationality on why many people in this world are still satisfied with many of Islam's despotic traditions. And the mentioned web page is also critical of people from othe religions wanting to convert to Islam. I do believe that Islam has still lots of despotic traditions from the Dark Ages that need to be altered or abrogated, so that Islam will not pose as a threat against the very survival of human species on this planet and against the current global system of human civilization. Islam has to be reformed by the Muslims themselves, that is with the support from the leaders of the free world, so that such religion can become truly-compatible with today's human progress all over the globe.

The facts about Muslim nations are pointing out that Islam is seemingly the most backward organized religion in this world. And many intellectuals all over this planet had labeled Islam as the most barbaric organized religion in this whole world. Islam has to be reformed now in this modern world. The facts are so obvious.

HUMAN RIGHTS FOR BOTH THE TIBETAN AND CHINESE PEOPLES!!!!!

I'm appealing to the various state-leaders of the free countries of this world to convince, but absolutely not force, their athletes to try boycott the coming 2008 Beijing Olympics. I'm also appealing to the business leaders of the free world to also make some kind of a partial boycotting of sponsoring the coming 2008 Beijing Olympics. Such types of boycott will certainly help pressure the communist government of China to finally recognize the need to fully recognize and secure the human rights of the Tibetans in particular and of the Chinese people in general. So, I'm now starting an on-line campaign to advocate such types of boycotting of the coming 2008 Beijing Olympics.

There are three main objectives of this would-be on_line campaign for the boycotting ( I'm advocating a partial and voluntary boycotting of the coming Beijing Olympics by athletes and business-leaders from the free world):
1.) To help pressure the communist government of China to finally recognize the need to fully recognize and secure the human rights of the Tibetans in particular and of the Chinese people in general.
2.) To help pressure the communist government of China to hold talks with the so-called "government-in-exile of Tibet" and the 14th Dalai Lama, so that a lasting political solution that can settle the question of Tibetans' autonomy and sovereign will as a people would finally come in.
3.) To help pressure the communist government of China to bring in some liberal reforms that can stimulate and help bring real democracy to the Chinese nation.

I do hope that this on_line campaign would soon expand to the whole world. Please support this on_line campaign now. Thanks.

"EXPLAINING SOMETHING ABOUT POLITICAL ABROGATIONISM AND THE IDEA OF GLOBAL DEMOCRACY"

I believe in political abrogationism. It is an advocacy that preaches that all dictatorships, monarchial reigns and despotic regimes all over this world should all be abolished peacefully and lawfully. Political abrogationism also preaches that every country, every social organization and every culture in this world should peacefully and lawfully embrace democracy. Political abrogationism is just an advocacy. I know that the ultimate objectives of such an advocacy are nearly-impossible to achieve. I know that such an advocacy is some kind of a doctrine dreaming of a perfect world. I didn't create such advocacy to really make democracy become absolute all over this world. We know that most countries in this world right now are already democracies. And I know that some situations will occur on this planet that can give way to dictatorial rule in some parts of this world. I created the advocacy of political abrogationism for the main purpose of making the wise citizens of this world become always vigilant in their lifetimes in defending the importance of human rights, democracy, civil liberties, constitutional processes and responsible freedoms for all the humanity of this world. Such form of vigilance should always guide humanity in the march for global stability and progress. In such a way, the awareness of the importance of individual self-manifestations and self-expressions being coordinated to social harmony and pluralism among the humanity of this planet would always be safeguarded by the wise citizens of this world.

The democratic procedures and processes had returned back to normalcy in Pakistan. Pervez Musharraf's illegitimate presidency will naturally be overcome by such democratic procedures and processes. This time around I will stop appealing for Pervez Musharraf to resign from his illegal presidency. The reason is that Musharraf's illegal presidency will automatically crumble in due time because such illegal rule will be naturally and lawfully abrogated by Pakistan's democratic procedures and processes. In fact, Musharraf's illegal rule now seems like a ceremonial position without any importance to the constitutional governance of Pakistan.

Pres. Gloria Arroyo of the Philippines was once tagged as someone who had maniplated the year 2004 national elections in our country. I once joined the peaceful and lawful protest-actions in year 2005 calling for Mrs. Arroyo to allow the democratic processes to prove her legitimacy as the president of the Philippines. And the democratic procedures and processes in our country had now proven that she had really won the year 2004 presidential election. And I have to respect the natural and universal methods and procedures of democracy. Now Mrs. Glo Arroyo is now again involved in a graft and corruption scandal that has degraded her moral responsibility to govern the country. I wouldn't call upon Mrs. Arroyo to resign now from her presidency. I would just have to allow the constitutional process to take its own natural course on such an issue and, then, just allow Mrs. Arroyo to decide on her own about clinging on to or resigning from her scandal-prone presidency. And such things are obvious.

Political abrogationism is merely one of the many human affirmations that expresses the reality that democracy is a guiding light for moral order and a necessity for the protection and securing of human rights, responsible freedoms and civil liberties of all human beings in this world. Hence, political abrogationism and social harmonicalism merely affirm the reality that democracy is a guiding light and a necessity for the humanity of this world.

That is what the advocacy of global democracy means to me. That is what the advocacy of global democracy should mean to the whole humanity of this world.

ABOUT SOME FORECASTS OF MINE ON THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES IN THE U.S.A.

February 11, 2008

ABOUT SOME FORECASTS OF MINE ON THE CURRENT
REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES IN THE U.S.A..................................





About some days ago, I made this comment on the MSN Conservative Allies' on-line forum:


SENT: 1/31/2008 8:44 AM ----- MSN CONSERVATIVE ALLIES' FORUM

Mitt Romney, the Mormon presidentiable, was recently beaten at the Florida primary.

LIZ SIDOTI, an Associated Press Writer, puts it this way:

'John McCain solidified his status as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination with a Florida triumph, his candidacy coming full circle in little more than a year. "It shows one thing. I'm the conservative leader who can unite the party," the Arizona senator said in a brief interview with The Associated Press.
Later, he told elated supporters: "We have a ways to go, but we are getting close."
McCain heads into next week's 20-plus contests, including mega-delegate states California and New York, with significant momentum after two straight wins and leading former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the delegate count.Certain to provide another boost, McCain is set to get the endorsement of Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday in California, according to GOP officials who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the public announcement. The former New York mayor is preparing to quit the race.

By summer, the campaign had blown through nearly all of the $25 million it had raised, and McCain had accepted the resignations of two top aides and promoted a third to manage what was left of the campaign. Money troubles meant dozens of layoffs while loyalty to the departed aides prompted others to flee.

McCain laid low in August, working to stabilize his campaign's finances and seeking to map out a road ahead with a narrower strategy. He hoped he could still emerge as the last man standing if the GOP field remained fractured.
He looked to Florida to cement his returned status — and Florida delivered.'

Full Story is from this page: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080130/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_ap_interview .


It was reported that Giuliani will now support John McCain's quest for victory in the primaries, beginning there in California. Such an event would really bolster McCain's bid to win the official presidential nomination of the Republican Party. McCain is predicted by American political analysts to win the California primary. There is no doubt that McCain is popular to both conservative and liberal actors from Hollywood. Even Jon Stewart, a liberal Hollywood celebrity, likes him. With Giuliani's support and a strong Hollywood-based sympathy from certain well-known peeps, McCain can easily clinch a victory in the California primary. If McCain wins in California, he could also win in New York. Winning such primaries would definitely give McCain a psychological victory that could finish the on-going campaign of Mr. Mitt Romney in the Republican primaries.

As I've said before, many Republican and pro-Republican community leaders see Mitt Romney's Mormonism as a hindrance for him to win the official Republican nomination for the presidency. While McCain is pictured as a good mainstream Protestant Chrisitian with lots of leadership-experiences, Romney is being seen as a half-hearted conservative (for his well-known pro-choice and moderately pro-gay stands) with strong connections from the Mormon church. Many conservatives in the U.S. seem to be not-yet-ready for a Mormon to be a standard-bearer of the Republican Party. The politics in the state of Utah also gives the impression that a would-be Mormon president would just act as a puppet-leader of Mormon bishops. Such a view has some basis due to the obvious realities about Utah politics and state-administration.

For now, I would say that John McCain has the advantage and edge in winning the Republican primaries as against that of Romney. I would say that McCain has a 55-percent probability of winning the Republican primaries. Many conservative community leaders in the Southern United States have already signified their intention of not backing up Romney. Romney's Mormonism is not something being cheered about by many conservative leaders in the Southern USA. With that, I would have to say that McCain has now the strongest chance of winning the Republican primaries.

...................................From Sergio Moran

_________________________________________________________


Sergio Moran is the usual username that I use when I post messages to MSN forums. I made such forecast way back in Jan. 31, 2008. Some predictions on such a forecast did come true. I sort of used my intution when I made such a forecast about McCain's bid to win the official Republican nomination for the US presidency. McCain now is the presumed nominee of the Republicans for the US presidency. I can say that a human person who has really studied hard the social sciences can make some accurate predictions about would-be socio-political events in the world. Intuitive forecasting is really just about guessing , using the mathematical, scientific and good spiritual methods of objectivity, some predictable would-be occurences in this world that can be properly analyzed in one's own physical mind. Later on, I've also made these comments on the same on_line forum and on the same thread:

SENT: 2/1/2008 10:24 AM

If Romney gets beaten in the California primary, I think such would be the time for Romney to really think hard of backing-off from the presidential race.....

SENT: 2/1/2008 10:41 AM

If Romney gets defeated in the California primary, he can very well halt his bid in the Republican primaries. The current problem of lack of financial funding for Romney to go on with his campaign for the primaries is lingering now over Romney's political team. So, Romney getting defeated in the California primary may mean Romney getting ready to quit from his presidential bid. But he can try again for his presidential bid next time around. Maybe then the American conservatives would be ready to cheer for a Mormon presidentiable. But for now the American Democrats may say to Romney this line: "Better luck next time to your presidential bid."

Romney did quit from the race for the Republican primaries. So, it is safe to say that intuitive forecasting, as long as it is based on mathematical, scientific and good-spiritual analyses, can give some accurate but limited predictions about certain future events in the future. But, still, intuitive forecasting is limited in strength and scope and is sometimes a failure. It is
because of the fact that every human being (and every other living creature, also) in this world is actually free to choose the pathways of her or his own life's destiny. Now that Romney has already quit from the primaries, he can still run again for the presidency next time around. Romney can still be an effective agent of change within the Republican Party, and can inspire American conservatives to completely disregard one person's religious affiliation as a qualification for becoming the US conservatives' standard-bearer. Some things have to change for betterment and progress of the human race.

ABOUT LAOZI AND SOME OF MY POEMS

I am requesting the readers of this blog to try to review some writings of Laozi, the Chinese founder of Daoism and the very first writer on this planet who wrote extensively, in an organized way, about libertarian and liberal ideals and ideas, by clicking this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi . Thanks.

The following are original poems of mine. Please read these poems:

"A Sleepy Afternoon"

An afternoon without any beat nor rhyme;
An abstinence from a sweet nap.
Trying to draw out a good time,
He read one book and started to laugh!
He later vowed to take a nap.

"The Horse And The Freedom"

A horse saw dragonflies freely
Playing in the fields, smoothly
Flying without any bondage.
Into a big and wide cottage
The horse's master went. The horse swiftly
And fiercely embraced freedom.
The ropes had forgotten
To tie the horse from a tree.
A big clog of slavery
Was broken by a horse.
Such was the horse's bravery
To kiss the face of freedom.
Freedom is now smiling
At the horse's courage.
Such a horse is now truly free;
He is running and roaming easily.

"A Lesson From A Nightmare"

There, had gone astray
They who didn't sway
To analyze their maps,
Nor asked nature's guidance
To lead them in proper paths
Out of the ghastly jungle.
All they did among themselves was
To wrangle and further wrangle.
Such a thing happened in someone's nightmare.
Like joyful dreams, sometimes nightmares do come true.
Sometimes the truth knocks strangely at you.

"Right After A Thunderstorm"

The tall rains that had fallen turned into floods;
The sun escaped from the clutches of the dark clouds.
The day's darkness melted away.
The dragonflies started to play
An athletic game for a shiny day.

"Jason Walks"

Jason walks to attain
A dimension of freedom from
Being tagged as insane.
Jason walks briskly to explore
Realms he had never seen before.
He dreams while walking;
He walks while dreaming;
He meditates while walking.
He prays silently along the urban streets,
Where he exhibits daily his walking feats.

Jason is not insane.
He walks for several hours
A day on streets near his house,
Just to show his longing for a home,
Which he thought he has never gained
In his current lifetime.
A home should not be prison for his articulate mind;
It should be a free zone and an abode which is kind
To the expressons of his mind.

ABOUT ASHOKA THE GREAT AND LAOZI

January 8, 2008.

The U.N. Org should truly champion, that is through peaceful and lawful means, religious tolerance and respect for all human rights and civil liberties in this world. The U.N. Org can inspire people all over this world to read the writings and edicts of such heroes like Ashoka, Laozi, Mahavira, Wang Yangming and Jean Jacques Rousseau. The U.N. Org can create study-groups all over this world to promote the writings and ideas of such mentioned heroes who then, during their respective lifetimes as such, championed religious tolerance and respect for all human rights and civil liberties, through peaceful and lawful means, all over this world. The U.N. Org can do such task now.

I would have to request to the readers of this message to read the summarized biographies of Ashoka the Great and Laozi at the Wikipedia web page. Such summarized biographies also have some reviews about the basic ideas of Ashoka the Great and Laozi.

The following aresome excerpts about such summarized biographies of Ashoka the Great and Laozi at the Wikipedia:

On Ashoka the Great. Ashoka (Devanāgarī: अशोकः, IAST: Aśokaḥ, IPA: [aɕoːkə(hə)], Prakrit Imperial title: Devanampriya Priyadarsi (Devanāgarī: देवानांप्रिय प्रियदर्शी), "He who is the beloved of the Gods and who regards everyone amiably") and Dhamma (Devanāgarī: धम्मः), "Lawful, Religious,
Righteous") (304 BC – 232 BC) was an Indian emperor, of the Maurya Dynasty who ruled from
273 BC to 232 BC. Often cited as one of India's greatest emperors, Ashoka reigned over most
of present-day India after a number of military conquests. His empire stretched from
present-day Afghanistan and parts of Persia in the west, to the present-day Bengal and Assam
states of India in the east, and as far south as the Mysore state. His reign was
headquartered in Magadha (present-day Bihar state of India). He embraced Buddhism from the prevalent Vedic tradition after witnessing the mass deaths of the war of Kalinga, which he
himself had waged out of a desire for conquest. He was later dedicated in the propagation of
Buddhism across Asia and established monuments marking several significant sites in the life
of Gautama Buddha.

His name "aśoka" means "without sorrow" in Sanskrit. In his edicts, he is referred to as
Devānāmpriya (Devanāgarī: देवानांप्रिय)/Devānaṃpiya or "The Beloved Of The Gods", and
Priyadarśin (Devanāgarī: प्रियदर्शी)/Piyadassī or "He who regards everyone amiably".
Science fiction novelist H. G. Wells wrote of Ashoka:
In the history of the world there have been thousands of kings and emperors who called
themselves 'their highnesses,' 'their majesties,' and 'their exalted majesties' and so on.
They shone for a brief moment, and as quickly disappeared. But Ashoka shines and shines
brightly like a bright star, even unto this day.
Along with the Edicts of Ashoka, his legend is related in the later 2nd century Aśokāvadāna
("Narrative of Ashoka") and Divyāvadāna ("Divine narrative"), and in the Sinhalese text
Mahavamsa. An emblem excavated from his empire is today the national emblem of India.

On Laozi.

There are many popular accounts of Laozi's lifetime, though facts and myths are impossible to separate regarding him. He is traditionally regarded as an older contemporary of Confucius, but modern scholarship places him centuries later or questions if he ever existed as an individual. Laozi is traditionally regarded as the author of the Dao De Jing, though its authorship has been debated throughout history.[2][3][4]
An early account of his life was the biography by Sima Qian which seemed incoherent to some scholars but can not be disproved.[5][6]
In legends, he was conceived when his mother gazed upon a falling star. It is said that he stayed in the womb and matured for sixty-two years. He was born when his mother leaned against a plum tree. He emerged a grown man with a full grey beard and long earlobes, which are a sign of wisdom and long life.[7][8]
According to popular biographies, he worked as the Keeper of the Archives for the royal court of Chou. This allowed him broad access to the works of the Yellow Emperor and other classics of the time. Laozi never opened a formal school. Nonetheless, he attracted a large number of students and loyal disciples. There are numerous variations of a story depicting Confucius consulting Laozi about rituals.[9][10]
Laozi is said to have married and had a son named Tsung, who was a celebrated soldier. A large number of people trace their lineage back to Laozi, as the T'ang Dynasty did. Many, or all, of the lineages may be inaccurate. However, they are a testament to the impact of Laozi on Chinese culture.[11]
Political theorists influenced by Laozi have advocated humility in leadership and a restrained approach to statecraft, either for ethical and pacifist reasons, or for tactical ends. In a different context, various anti-authoritarian movements have embraced the Laozi teachings on the power of the weak.[33]
The economist Murray N. Rothbard suggests that Laozi was the first libertarian, likening Laozi's ideas on government to F.A. Hayek's theory of spontaneous order.[34][35] Similarly, the Cato Institute's David Boaz includes passages from the Tao Te Ching in his 1997 book The Libertarian Reader.

The readers of this message can view some summarized biographies of such mentioned heroes at these web pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashoka_The_Great

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi .

Other on-line encyclopedias also have their biographies and reviews about their writings and ideas. Both Ashoka the Great and Laozi championed religious tolerance and respect for all human rights and civil liberties, through peaceful and lawful means, all over this world. Therefore, the U.N. Org should create study-groups all over this world to promote the writings and ideas of such mentioned heroes. The U.N. Org can do such task now.

Let us, the human citizens of this world, promote and champion religious tolerance and respect and security for all human rights and civil liberties, through peaceful and lawful means, all over this world.

"ABOUT THE CURRENT POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES"

Last Nov. 29, 2007, a senator and a general in the Philippines (both are being charged with failed coup plots) had staged some kind of another coup attempt against the Arroyo regime. Such a coup was not really a real one in the sense that not a single gunshot was fired by the so-called rebels. Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim were the ones who led such a rebellion against the Arroyo regime on that day. Of course, such rebellion did not last long since the leaders and the participants of such peaceful rebellion surrendered right away to the authorities when tear-gas cans were thrown in their midst after the negotiations for their surrender failed. All those who participated in

such a rebellion surrendered peacefully to the government authorities.

Such action was really rebellious in the sense that such a peaceful coup attempt called for a withdrawal of support from the Arroyo regime. Many Filipinos actually were sympathetic to such a move done by Trillanes and Lim. Maybe a great majority of the Filipino people were really hoping during that peaceful coup attempt that Mrs. Arroyo would resign from the presidency. What Trillanes and Lim had done at that time was really unconstitutional and illegal. But their demand for such a resignation of Mrs. Arroyo from the Philippine presidency can be seen as something that has moral basis. After all, the Arroyo regime has been involved in so many scandals that had made the current executive branch of the Philippine government become a real problem to most Filipinos.

Graft and corruption in the Philippine government has become so well-entrenched in these times when many Filipinos are suffering from poverty, homelessness and hunger. The Arroyo regime keep on repeating the so-called figures that the Philippine economy had greatly improved. But you can see in any street in the Philippines the facts that most Filipinos are still impoverished, undernourished and residing in squatter houses. Many Filipino children are roaming the city-streets begging for food and money, if not doing any form of child-labor. Such degrading scenes can be obviously viewed in both rural and urban parts of the Philippines.

Another bad thing about the Arroyo regime is that its own record of human-rights' violations has been becoming worse ever year. Those who are suspected as culprits on human-rights' violations seem to be being protected by government people who are really known as allies of Mrs. Arroyo. The legal procedures against those who had been involved in cases such as human-rights' violations and graft and corruption in the Philippines seem to be being stopped and hampered by many allies of Mrs. Arroyo. So, the Arroyo regime seems to be not doing anything to curtail human-rights' violations and graft and corruption in the Philippines.

So, the majority of Filipinos want Mrs. Arroyo to resign now from the presidency. That's why many Filipinos see Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim as heroic figures of non-violent and peaceful forms of struggles (though what they did at the Manila Peninsula Hotel on November 29, 2007 was constitutionally wrong, the processes in such one whole affair were non-violent or peaceful). Hence, the non-violent or peaceful struggle that Trillanes and Lim demonstrated would be a shining inspiration to all the Filipinos who favor peaceful and lawful means to bring about social reforms in the Philippines. I can also say, though I believe Mrs. Arroyo could have really won the year 2004 presidential election in the Philippines, that if Mrs. Arroyo and her allies would continue violating the constitution and go on protecting the human-rights' violators and criminals within the government, then Mrs. Arroyo should be asked, that is through peaceful and lawful means, to either create an investigative truth-commission that will investigate and charge all those who had done human-rights' violations and graft and corruption crimes from her governmental administration, or resign from the Philippine presidency if Mrs. Arroyo can't or won't solve the problems of human-rights' violations and graft and corruption within her own governmental administration. Mrs. Arroyo should just voluntarily resign from the Philippine presidency if she will admit that she can not do anything to solve the problems of human-rights' violations and graft and corruption inside her own governmental administration. The Filipino people should move on with the peaceful and lawful struggle to attain moral and real democracy in the Philippines.

PEACEFULLY AND LAWFULLY STRUGGLE FOR MORAL AND REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE PHILIPPINES NOW!!!!!

REAL DEMOCRACY FOR THE PHILIPPINES NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

HEBRON AND JERUSALEM SHOULD BELONG TO THE ISRAELIS!

Decemeber 3, 2oo7

It is good that Pres. George W. Bush is openly-supportive to the ideas of a peaceful co-existence between Palestine and Israel and the immediate creation of an independent Palestine. I also believe in those ideals and ideas. But I hope that the whole American nation and the whole international community would recognize the fact that Hebron and Jerusalem have long been great symbols of Jewish history and culture. Hebron and Jerusalem have always been parts and parcels of the historic and cultural achievements of the Jews in general and, obviously, of Israel in particular. The final peace pact between Palestine and Israel should recognize the right of Israel to exist as a nation in the Middle East region, as well as Israel's right of sovereignty over Hebron and Jerusalem.

Here is a letter-of-appeal to all the leaders of the international community regarding the city of Jerualem. Kindly read this one:

A letter to the world from Jerusalem, Eliezer Whartman , THE JERUSALEM POST on Nov. 20, 2007. The following op-ed was adapted from one first written for the 'Times ofIsrael,' a fledgling weekly established shortly after the Six Day War.

After the war, the Israeli government announced preparations to return all the captured territories except for Jerusalem, in exchange for peace. The response came at the Khartoum Arab Summit Conference that year, at which it was announced that there would be no negotiations and no recognition of Israel. Israel came under tremendous international pressure to re-divide Jerusalem, which caused the author to sit down in a 'white heat of anger' and write this piece.

" I am not a creature from another planet, as you seem to believe. I am a Jerusalemite - like yourselves, a man of flesh and blood. I am a citizen of my city, an integral part of my people. I have a few things to get off my chest. Because I am not a diplomat, I do not have to mince words. I do not have to please you, or even persuade you. I owe you nothing. You did not build this city; you do not live in it; you did not defend it when they came to destroy it. And we will be damned if we will let you take it away. There was a Jerusalem before there was a New York. When Berlin, Moscow, London and Paris were forest and swamp, there was a thriving Jewish community here. It gave something to the world which you nations have rejected ever since you established yourselves - a humane moral code. Here the prophets walked, their words flashing like forked lightning. Here a people who wanted nothing more than to be left alone, fought off waves of heathen would-be conquerors, bled and died on the battlements, hurled themselves into the flames of their burning Temple rather than surrender; and when finally overwhelmed by sheer numbers and led away into captivity, swore that before they forgot Jerusalem, they would see their tongues cleave to their palates, their right arms wither. For two pain-filled millennia, while we were your unwelcome guests, we prayed daily to return to this city. Three times a day we petitioned the Almighty: 'Gather us from the four corners of the world, bring us upright to our land; return in mercy to Jerusalem, Thy city, and dwell in it as Thou promised.' On every Yom Kippur and Pessah we fervently voiced the hope that next year would find us in Jerusalem. Your inquisitions, pogroms, expulsions, the ghettos into which you jammed us, your forced baptisms, your quota-systems, your genteel anti-Semitism, and the final unspeakable horror, the Holocaust (and worse, your terrifying disinterest in it) - all these have not broken us. They may have sapped what little moral strength you still possessed, but they forged us into steel. Do you think that you can break us now, after all we have been through? Do you really believe that after Auschwitz we are frightened of your threats and blockades and sanctions? We have been to hell and back - a hell of your making. What more could you possibly have in your arsenal that could scare us? I HAVE watched this city bombarded twice by nations calling themselves civilized. In 1948, while you looked on apathetically, I saw women and children blown to smithereens, this after we had agreed to your request to internationalize the city. It was a deadly combination that did the job: British officers, Arab gunners and American-made cannons. And then the savage sacking of the Old City; the willful slaughter, the wanton destruction of every synagogue and religious school; the desecration of Jewish cemeteries; the sale by a ghoulish government of tombstones for building materials, for poultry runs, army camps - even latrines. And you never said a word. You never breathed the slightest protest whenthe Jordanians shut off the holiest of our holy places, the WesternWall, in violation of the pledges they had made after the war - a war they waged, incidentally, against a decision of the UN. Not a murmur came from you whenever the legionares in their spiked helmets casually opened fire upon our citizens from behind the walls. Your hearts bled when Berlin came under siege. You rushed your airlift' to save the gallant Berliners.' But you did not send one ounce of food when Jews starved in besieged Jerusalem. You thundered against the wall which the East Germans ran through the middle of the German capital -but not one peep out of you about the other wall, the one that tore through the heart of Jerusalem. And when the same thing happened 19 years later, and the Arabs unleashed a savage unprovoked bombardment of the Holy City again, did any of you do anything? The only time you came to life was when the city was at last reunited. Then you wrung your hands and spoke loftily of 'justice'and the need for the 'Christian' quality of turning the other cheek. The truth is - and you know it deep inside your gut - some would prefer the city to be destroyed rather than have it governed by Jews. No matter how diplomatically you phrase it, the old-age prejudices seep out of every word. If our return to the city has tied your theology in knots, perhaps you had better re-examine your catechisms. For the first time since the year 70 there is now complete religious freedom for all in Jerusalem. For the first time since the Romans put the torch to the Temple everyone has equal rights. (You preferred to have some more equal than others). We loathe the sword - but it was you who forced us to take it up. We crave peace - but we are not going back to the peace of 1948 as you would like us to. We are home. It has a lovely sound for a nation you have willed to wander over the face of the globe. We are not leaving. We have redeemed the pledge made by our forefathers; Jerusalem is being rebuilt. 'Next year' - and the year after, and after, and after until the end of time -in Jerusalem!"

In memory of my son Moshe who fell in a clash with terrorists in 1975 in Lebanon. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1195546681914&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Such letter has words of wisdom. I hope all the Arab nations can understand such letter's full meaning.

I believe the peace talks between Palestine and Israel should move forward until both states would have finally realized the actualization of peaceful co-existence between them as sovereign states. But I also hope that the leaders of the international community should also realize that taking away Hebron and Jerusalem from Israeli sovereignty would be a great injustice to the Israeli people. The better alternative is to provide a linking land that will connect the Gaza Strip from the West Bank, so that the whole of Palestine would just be a single state and territory with true sovereignty and independence. I hope that an independent Palestinian nation would be a reality soon. I also hope that the Palestinians would recognize the reality that both Hebron and Jerusalem do belong to the Israeli nation.

Mahmoud Abbas, the recognized leader of the Palestinian Authority, has to denounce and condemn all forms of terrorism committed by fanatical Islamists. He should help in appealing to all Muslims that Islam has to be reformed as a religion in this modern world. It would be wonderful if Abbas can also call upon to all the political and religious leaders of the Islamic nations to democratize and secularize Islam in the modern world. Abbas must also respect the fact that Hebron and Jerusalem are parts and parcels of the Israeli territory. Such things, if Abbas can do all of those, will prove to this world that Abbas is really sincere in his image as a moderate when it comes to peace talks and political affairs. Abbas has to show to the world that he can really help in finalizing a peace agreement between Palestine and the Israeli nation. Such are obvious!
