Trail of Thoughts, Rule of the Jungle.

 "The history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter as long as the lions don't have their own historians."  The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceable with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act as one. He has put a knife on the things that hold us together and we have fallen apart. "   " A child cannot pay for its mother's milk. " Chinua Achebe.  "You must be the change you want to see in the world."  "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."  Mahatma Ghandi.  "Life is 10 % of what happens to you and 90 % how you react to it." Charles R. Swindoll.   "The only thing necessary for the triumpf of the evil is for good men do nothing." Edmund Burke.   Winter has arrived, some sunshine during the day, ice-cold wind, cold nights and the necessary rain. I prefer the summer, even when it's pretty hot. Still, the advantage of this season, those extreme loud open - air celebrations (loud speakers suitable for football stadiums) in residential areas have stopped and with heavy rain, etc. less unnecessarily noisy motorbikes with that environnements polluting black clouds, "riding just for fun." A young man smashed in the neighborhood a car's windscreen "because he had stress with his parents." The car just happened to be there and he quickly got arrested. This shows the need for anti-aggression training and noise restrictions as too much noise also reduces the ability to "take it easy". I remember a time when folks were altogether more relaxed and not constantly in a hurry (even the unemployed nowadays). Our amazing, blind, feral boy, Loulou, sadly passed away. Not well lately, poor darling, only approx. 7 years old, considered old here, but not in Europe. He loved his food, but nevertheless kept loosing weight. - The new Emperor and Pirate, Donald Trump, said the world is no longer peaceful. Has that perhaps got something to do with his often strange ideas and actions, violations of international laws? Mr. Trump and his mental brothers and sisters appear to regard the world as a kind of supermarket, or should I say Real Estate for sale and exploration ? Lucky the country that doesn't hold precious resources. I think it was Kissinger who once said, "oil is too important to leave it to the Arabs.....". Land grab, the new fashion. If a country wants to protect its environment and decides not to destroy for the sake of exploitation, limited profit for a few, destruction that effects future generations, it hopefully doesn't get invaded by a country that considers environmental laws a luxury, unnecessary burden that stands in the way of making maximum profit. Following the kidnapping of president Madura (no American blood spilled, Trump proudly declared, but 32 Cubans died and approx. 70 others) and Venezuelan high quality oil stollen from the "US backyard", respectively presently seized tank ships, Mr Trump now desires to "buy" (make an offer they can't refuse..... ") Greenland, Cuba, possibly Canada, etc., perhaps invade Mexico, Panama..... The people of Greenland declared they don't want to become Americans, don't want to be part of an imperial colony. They want to continue protecting the environment for future generations, demand respect of international laws. Their country is not for sale. Though fairly independent, it luckily still belongs to Denmark, a Nato member, the Nato is obligated to protect its members, thus must stop the new emperor and pirate, who says he " will take Greenland, one way or the other." 62 % of Germans support the idea to send troops to Greenland to support the country. Pinocchio Trump advised that Greenland is threatened by China and Russia, it is a question of either them or US, as Greenland practically hasn't got any self-defence. By the way, no Russian nor Chinese ships were viewed near the Island. Trump's message, "don't trust your eyes, trust my words". If evil persons are successful with doing evil, they have no reason to stop. Not a lesson we could have learned from Hitler? The Western World choose to trust his promises, more comfortable than to act at an early stage. Oh let him have this and that, perhaps appeasement politics works........, perhaps he will be satisfied..... (make friends with crocodiles and maybe you will be eaten last.....). Mr. Trump appears to think that Nato is a toothless tiger, well, is it? Do we want him to rule the world, to re-write the laws for civilized societies? Instead of using kid gloves for Donald Trump and smearing honey around his mouth, hoping he thus won't get angry and start his usual threatening and blackmailing, look for a different medicine, learn and offer him his own medicine. The world concists of many countries, a population much higher than that of the US (where, by the way, not all love Donald Trump and his followers), several countries have a lot of money, vast amounts spent for weapons, why not get together and donate large sums for a good purpose, why not buy the United Staates, recreate democracy ? That would bring peace to the world and in particular be great for Palestinians (since the cease fire 100 children have been killed in Gaza, all in "self-defence"?) . Mr. Trump, Vance, Rubio (Trump was worried about Obama having the right birth certificate, did he check that of Marco Rubio?) etc. could be flown out to other countries willing to take them. According to US and some other countries (e. g. Israel) standards these don't have to be connected in any way with the concerned US individuals , who don't even have to be able to speak the language of their new home country. - Good news, London now has a Palestinian Embassy, France will open in Greenland an Embassy in Februar. By the way, Mr. Trump said, "I am good at predicting things...". Hitler said, "I want to be once again a Prophet (predict what is going to happen)".  The EU appears to be sleep-walking just like the US Democrats for quite a while, allow the self-promoted new emperor to destroy seemingly well working institutions, sack dedicated civil servants, make the poor poorer and the rich richer. Is the US society so helpless? There is the "We are America" movement (no kings, no troops on our street), the "Bill of Rights" movement, "Flare" organisation,  "Veterans for Democracy", etc. Hopefully no more bullying into silence. US senators of both big parties are introducing a bill to stop Mr. Trump seizing Greenland. A lot of the president's rhetoric reminds me of what George Orwell warned against, "New speech", manipulation through giving something negative a new, positive meaning, e. g. "Big Beautiful Bill", "Make America great again", etc.  The Nobel Peace Price Committee advised that their price can after donation not be shared with another person, presumably a message for madam Machado who believes that Mr. Trump brought freedom to Venezuela.
