When Power Corrupts, can Mental Torture of Palestinian Children be condoned, Mr. President US.

 Mr. President US Donald Trump, you govern a nation that spends annually around 916 billion dollars on Military Industry sector, the next competitor to US is China with an annual expenditure of 296 billion USD, but you can't take such power to be a  license for a free ride over rights of others across the globe. It can't be so dense to you, that your strategy of inflecting shock-chaos-confusion for achieving specific goals, overrides sovereignty and rights of others and makes US the greatest terror state of all.

It is sad to see that US Presidential Executive Order, a system put in place to manage Intelligence Agencies and others in US is being used as tool of Terror.

Let's consider the most inhuman example of all. Palestinians watched their land Palestine deformed, abused and disfigured to create Israel with an excuse of 2000 years old history. As though Semitic religions are the exclusive reality of the planet and others are irrelevant. While creation of Israel is portrayed and seen by many as an act of justice towards Jews, who endured the trauma of Genocide from Europeans, this is not the whole truth.

Israel came into existence to satisfy the need for a military industrial unit, this is clearly evident from the way Israel has evolved. It has not evolved as a nation with equality among its citizens, but rather as industrial unit with entire focus being on documenting the Palestinians without any respect for their rights or their sovereignty. The total abuse of power for which technology became crucial.

Middle East was the right choice for it offered scope for access to natural resources, besides unlike Africa or Asia, the region was difficult to seduce to opt for western life style, not just clothing but finance management as well.

Using the subjective, evasive concept of terror the West waged war at different times often hunting for a manifestation of terror that never materialised but remained vague and difficult to capture or destroy as in case of weapons of mass destruction. But control over natural resources was neither vague or difficult.

At present, Mr. President has crossed all red lines, for sitting in realm of power you use cyber bullying to torture the Palestinian population, including the children of Palestine.They have been vocal about their displeasure, Palestinian children wonder how you would feel if someone bullied you to leave your home.

Palestinian children have been through horror, some of the acts against humanity has been proudly displayed on social media by perpetrators of crime themselves. Most of the Palestinian children have woken up under the rubble at some point during the last year. They have woken to see the lifeless bodies of their loved ones strewn around. Children who are alive, many are disabled physically and mentally, yet they stand their ground about their right to be in Palestine.

These children whose resilience is their strength, you assume Mr President you own them and they are your slaves and can be lifted and moved as per your wish and command. Mr. President of US you stand accused of mental torture of survivors of Genocide, war crimes and acts against humanity. You use the Oval office, US and Global media to bully and psychologically threaten Palestinian population including the children.

Laws for protection of children be it the UN charter, International law, or laws in US and Europe consider your action and bullying an expression or threat of criminal act against children in Palestine.

As per laws in Sweden it is criminal for children to endure humiliating treatment, in Austria it is criminal to inflict mental suffering and according to US Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, the goal is to keep children away from abuse, "physical, sexual, emotional and psychological".

Then how come the world is not holding you accountable, when in position of power isn't it necessary to abide by rule of law and not abuse the vulnerable with threats from Oval Office.

US, if you are a Democracy, then please educate your President that threat of ethnic cleansing or threat against children is not sanctioned by law. 

Sovereignty is a right for all countries, a Nation does not need approval of US or UN to exist.

Living in the Margins

 Molly Charles (1) Margin, a term familiar from tender age; notebooks with clear cut margins to delineate the main body of text, define it. The margins give it definite shape, a practice that continues into the virtual world. Among humans, it is these margins that give identity to the large majority we term normal. The often, porous boundaries offer a chance for individuals to slip through and slip back into either ‘normal’ or ‘marginal’ spaces. The decision to identify with marginal groups or positions can be a conscious one as with (gender identity, drug use), enforced as in (mental health, racial and caste based discrimination) and accidental for (drug use, stigmatized diseases). In certain instances, as with mental health, some individuals may find their being part of marginal groups a permanent reality, in most other instances individuals do move in and out of marginal groups, as a survival strategy to deal with marginalization. Even when physical spaces merge, with an emph...

Peace, Security & Fourth Industry, Technology—impact on Us and Our Becoming

                                                                                                                                                   Peace is something everyone can sense, and yet, find difficult to define. Its complexity, and simplicity is reflected in our restricted definition of peace as an absence of war/violence, even though we sense it is far beyond that.    Peace is a concept that exists beyond the boundaries of empirical reality, but we seek it within the realms of empirical reality, where power has the final say. We conceive it as a static state, where a world view palatable to u...

Drugs, Altered States of Consciousness & Us - Implications for Drug Policy

                                                             C enturies have gone by and yet we struggle in our waltz with Mind Altering Substances (MAS), our steps still falter and a probable safe distance evades our grasp. The yesteryears centered around finding mind altering substances in nature, from far and near; now we hone our skills in identifying the right chemicals or the means of manipulating molecular formations for creating MAS within kitchen labs or in the pharmaceutical industry. The presence of numerous substances to choose from has apparently not satiated user demand nor dampened the passion of enforcement agencies to exterminate the 'enemy'. There is an ever widening gap in the perception of MAS by users, numerous sub groups within the larger society, inclusive of enforcers of the Law. Users who adhere to cul...
