World on Fire, Testing how far They can go.....

Self portrait of Mr. Donald Trump. 

 "To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity." "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."  Nelson Mandela.  "Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free."   14th Dalai Lama.  "You cannot kill the truth. You cannot kill justice. You cannot kill what we are fighting for."  Jean Dominique.  "The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who 'disappeared'. That is what the candle is for."  Peter Benenson.  "You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free."  Clemence Darrow.  "The right to life is the first among human rights."  Pope Francis.   "Freedom is never granted, it is won. Justice is never given, it is exacted."   A. Philip Randolph.    " The object of reward is to encourage, that of punishment is to prevent." Hen Fei                                                                                                                                    In my opinion we have too long and too frequent school holidays, in particular in view of only rare offers for bored kids and youngsters to maybe learn new creative techniques (something to be prowd of) instead of the usual street football, or - what several in my neighborhood do - out of frustration stone throwing, damaging or destroying what they can lay their hands on. Attention - Deficit - Hyperactivity - Disorder (HDHD) is spreading where parents leave education of their children mainly to the street. Junk food is also not very helpful, the negative effect on the brain the US president demonstrates daily. Some believe he's the re-born Emperor Nero and suffers from Megalomania. Strange, no other president realized that the White House urgently requires a ball room with plenty of gold/blinking ornaments (homeless and poverty-stricken US citizens will understand), so that when the new elite, trillions-rich estate brokers, or other VIPs, politicians, etc, visit the greatest president that ever breathed, it won't be embarrassing for a 'Trump-first nation.' Already planned next step, a Trump - Triumph Arch, followed by further urgently required monuments, possibly a Mausoleum.......? Lord have mercy, could someone please hand Donald Trump a job description for the post of US president? Mr. Trump reminds me of a child that wants to have whatever it sees. He appears to regard the world and all its riches his private property. By the way, Donald's signature strongly resembles a Kindergarten kid's first attempt to scribble. Trump's mental twin, vice-président Vance, said he prayed for every fired bullet to hit a target US and for overwhelming violance of actions  against those who deserve no mercy. Further, suggested US citizens should pray for their successful war. The Pope replied that Jesus is a King of Peace and God wouldn't accept the prayers of those who wage war and have blood on their hands. The genius warlord Trump of course supported the brilliant Vance and advised that Pope Leo is "wrong on law and order" and that "he is very weak." Does that mean  possible land grabbing of Vatican state when all other "jobs" are finished? After all, on Trump's 'True Social Media" post the world was already enlightened by a (with the aid of AI created) picture showing Donald Trump as Jesus. Following protests Mr. Trump insisted the picture made him look like a doctor. Anyhow, (US born) Pope Leo pointed out that he is "not afraid of the US government." Fearing for their life, though, should be, the delegations of Iran, Libanon, etc. who try to negotiate with US and Israel for a lasting peace. The Mossad may be following them, determinated to execute each one of them,. they have done something similar with a Palestinian negotiation team before, 7 months ago, experts warn. By they way, according to international law it is a war crime to kill non- military civilians in a 'wild-west manner' , even if they are the enemy. Nonetheless, Mr. Trump as well as Mr. Netanyahu and their government members constantly demonstrated, and still do, that they consider themselves above international laws and regulations, untouchable. In US citizens are protesting, "not the president we elected!" Madame Melloni suspended the automatic defense contract with Israel. Now Israelian soldiers fired at an Italian UN convoy of peacemakers in Lebanon, is this revenge? Trump says he is disappointed that Madam Melloni criticized him for his comments concerning Pope Leo. Donald Trump believes there can be only 2 points of view, his and the wrong one. In Israel citizens are also demonstrating against Netanyahu and his team, not so much because of the brutal war in Gaza and the Westbank, dehumanizing Palestians for decades, actually since 1948, unfortunately leads to many Israelians becoming unsensible against their suffering. Israelian soldiers are looting, enjoy unnecessary destructions, taking photos and videos of their stealing and war crimes, seeming to be totally unaware that their actions are nothing to be proud of. At long last German Chancellor Merz told Netanyahu that Israel must stop stealing Palestinian land. Now Netanyahu demands an apology, not the language Israel was used to coming from the German government. Times are a changing? There is hope. Germany made a big mistake when it interpreted its obligations resulting from the terrible Nazi crimes. The lesson to be learned is to never ever accept war crimes, occupation is illegal, unlawful, Apartheid must be stopped and genocide punished, without exception. More than 1 million EU citizens signed  demands to sanction Israel. The EU can suspend all payments to Israel, including private ones. It was done with Russia. The EU is Israel's largest trading partner, total value 50 billion dollars. Lately settlers, protected by Israelian soldiers, entered the Al Aqsa mosque "to pray", but actually to provoke. These lawless gangs will doubtlessly be difficult to control for years to come. As the saying goes, "if you sow wind, you will harvest storm." The damage in Iran is presently estimated to amount to 270 billion dollars, will rise. Iran wants comensation. Israelian soldiers have told the government critical Israelian newspaper Haaretz that Israeli forces are demolishing villages in Southern Lebanon, "methods simular to those used in the Gaza strip." By the way, since the in October 2025 agreed ceasefire for Gaza, Israel killed 765 Palestians and injured at least 2,140 (numbers rising). Lebanon files a complaint to the UN Security Council over the more than 100 Israelian air strikes on 8th of Aril, in densely populated residental areas of Beirut, during peak hours and without prior warning, 303 citizens were killed, including 30 children and 71 women. (clearly a war crime). Will Lebanon receive one day compensation? Beirut, a beautiful town, used to be called "Petit Paris". Why has the Israelian government such a strong desire to destroy other cultures? James Baldwin once said, "People always hate what they can't understand and they hate so much because they understand so little." Unicef stated on 10th April 2026 that 600 children have been killed in Lebanon. UN declared that over the last 3 years 1010 aid workers have been killed, 326 in 2025 across 21 countries, there is wide-spread impunity and weakening respect for international law in crisis zones. Folks carrying out life-saving missions are increasingly being targeted. Mr. Trump says he doesn't worry about war crimes. Is he setting the new standards?                  I had a dream. Donald Trump passed away and landed in hell. "Welcome, my Son," says the Head Devil. Trump has a look around, no golf course, interior rather modest, not very intriguing...... "I am not staying here!" says Trump. The devil's reply, "But this is where you belong, my son. You are welcome here." Trump answers, "I am giving myself a Royal Pardon."  "Sorry," advises the Devil, "this you can no longer decide, besides, you are not a king and never have been...... "
