Well, here goes.

I am going to stick by my ideas about what is going on in the Middle East. The Security Council Resolutions are being completely ignored on both sides which means that Hamas and the Israelis want to go to war and are perfectly willing to spend everybody else's money doing it. So, how absurd, but why not just cut off funding for both sides and go back to living like honest human beings? Let the gun runners finance the war; they, too, would soon go broke trying to keep up with the expenditures. So, what happens to somebody like myself; what kind of power do I have over my own karmas and rights? What ability do I have to be involved in policies that are carried out in my name? Of course, for most of the world, most of the legions of people do not have any say or power over the events that are going on in the world. Their own live's have been whittled down to paying the bills, finding food and keeping your house. It seems to me the only people who are bogged down in the Gaza War are the Arabs and the Israeli's and us, the Americans, because we pay the Israeli's bill. I don't support what is going on in Gaza by way of the humanitarian crisis with the killing of women and children, the bombing of UN Offices, the denial of access to medical care, the denial of access to basic food supplies. They say this is being done to the Palestinians because they support Hamas. The Palestinians seem to be being exploited by Hamas so they can carry on their glorious jihad and the Israelis and the Americans are against the Palestinians because of Hamas. It seems like none of the parties to the war are really being hit; it seems like the Palestinians, who are not a party to the war, are suffering severe causualties. So, like I said before, it is missiles away from both sides because they don't have to give a damn about who is actually being killed and maimed.

The Israelis do not care about world opinion, so they do as the please; right now we seem to have a voiceless America where only a few CNN and BBC journalists voice their opinions over the TV. I still contend that this is an extremely hazardous situation because people are living beyond the borders of the law. They are lawless. Our chances of a long term survival in this situation is quite doubtful.

I also watched Hillary Clinton's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I support her but I think she will be a rubber stamp for certain forces in her constituency.
So, she is starting out her term as Secretary of State on an extremely down note.

These are my thoughts for today.
