Trump declares foreign War on Drugs


Trump doesn't care about drugs, wants oil, regime change for Nick Maduro

We run this Congress, Trump. Let's do it.
Trump's Pentagon (head of the U.S. military-industrial complex) targets and murders civilians with no due process. He alleges, according to Warlord Hegseth, that these boaters are legal targets due to his assessment and allegation that they are working for a narco[tic] drug cartel.
I can have anybody killed I want
 
I can keep the distractions coming, Sec'y Pete!
He killed four in this instance, following previous killing sprees, which makes him eligible for the title of "mass murderer" by modern definition.

But the Supreme Court has promised to absolve and hold him blameless for any crimes performed from the White House Oval Office within the scope of his duties, which are anything Border Czar Homan's Project 2025 tells him are okay to do even if they are not.

You'll protect me, right, Bondi? You better or else
As long as Pres. Trump claims he thought he had the right do it, that's enough for the highest court in the land. Taking ownership of Gaza and changing its name to "the Riviera of the Mediterranean" while ethnically cleansing its population with the help of CIA ally and friendliest strongman in the Middle East Bibi Netanyahu? No problem.

Murder by military jargon?

But maybe old laws can be reinterpreted

Greatest Irish movie ever made: The Quiet Girl

Best Int'l Feature Film: Why The Quiet Girl deserves to win the award (movieweb.com)

The Quiet Girl (official trailer)
Best Irish-language film ever (The Biz Post)
(Madman Films) The Quiet Girl (Gaelic An Cailín Ciúin) is a delicate drama that follows Cáit, a shy 9-year-old who has been separated from her immediate family and left in the care of two distant relatives for the summer. After sun-dappled days spent milking cows, peeling potatoes, and fetching water from the well, the initially uncommunicative child opens up to her foster parents. Textured and tender, this award-winning film shows that home is where we feel loved. #TheQuietGirl

Already feels like a classic" (The Guardian).

"Ich Bin Ein Ausländer" (video)

Pop Will Eat Itself; Amber Larson and Dhr. Seven (ed.), Wisdom Quarterly
German Auslanders expelled from Poland in 1948: Get out, you foreigners! (Bundesarchiv)

I always thought they (PWEI) were saying, in German, "I am an Icelander." Auslander actually means "outlier," "outsider," or "foreigner," someone from the periphery or parts unknown, like the Native Sami (Sápmi, formerly Laplanders) in Sweden. We think they look like adorable Swiss Miss blondes, but to the Scandinavian, Nordic/Germanic Swedes, the Sami are icky "Natives" and "savages," crude people who live in the Lapps/Lapland, where no rightminded person would choose to live, in the cold, among the reindeer, by the restless sea.

LYRICS: "Ich Bin Ein Ausländer"
Listen to the victim abused by a system
The basis is racist. You know that we must face this
It can't happen here
(Oh, yeah?)

Take a look around at the cities and the towns
See 'em huntin', creepin', sneakin', breedin'
Fear and loathing with the lies they're speakin'
The knife, the gun, broken bottle, petrol bomb

There is no future when the past soon come
And when they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?

Or laugh through a glass eye as they rape our lives?
Trampled underfoot by the rise on the Right

(Liam O'CaoimhGrebo PWEI Late Late Show (RTE) appearance, Ireland

CHORUS:
(You call us...)
Ich bin ein Ausländer*
(You call us what?)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us...)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
(You call us what?)
Ich bin ein Ausländer
Welcome to a state where the politics of hate
Shout loud in the crowd
Watch 'em beat us all down
There's a rising tide on the rivers of blood

But if the answer isn't violence, neither is your silence
If they come to ethnically cleanse me
Will you speak out?
Will you defend me?

Freedom of expression doesn't make it all right!
Trampled underfoot by the rise of the right

(Chorus)

Ich bin ein Ausländer

When did US empire turn on Trump? (TJDS)

The Deep State turned against Ex-President Trump. This is why Don John lost their support. Tulsi Gabbard tells it like it is -- that the USA/CIA does NOT want peace in Ukraine but actively blocks it. (See below). However, TJDS (The Jimmy Dore Show) is still comedy:

Burma's most esteemed American monk

Pat Macpherson and, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly based on Burmese article by Wei Yan Aung translated by Thet Ko Ko, Irrawaddy Times (irrawaddy.com, May 25, 2020)
The sad day Burma's most esteemed foreign monk passed away
RANGOON, Burma - Today in 1966, Italian-American Buddhist monk and missionary Ven. U Lokanatha (who was born Salvatore Cioffi in 1897 and raised in Brooklyn, New York) passed away in Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo, Mandalay region). He dedicated his life to promoting Buddhism worldwide.
Inspired by the Dhammapada, the "Sayings of the Buddha," New York University graduate in chemistry Cioffi became interested in Buddhism and entered the monastic order in Burma in 1925 at the age of 28.
Irish Laurence Carroll was the first Western monk.
From his base in Burma, the Italian-American monk traveled to many countries including Thailand, Sri Lanka, Italy, France, and the United States, promoting Buddhism.

When World War II broke out, he was in British India and like other Europeans abroad, he was confined by British authorities in a prison camp, where he introduced some of his fellow prisoners to Buddhism. He also organized a dramatic 96-day hunger strike to demand his religious rights as a Buddhist, until he was eventually forcibly fed by the jailers.

Ananda Metteyya (Elizabeth J. Harris)
He was later incarcerated for seven days in France for collecting alms, which many misunderstand to be begging. [It is offering others the opportunity to volunteer to support and thereby make merit by cultivating charity called dana.]

Although U Lokanatha (Cioffi) preached widely and wrote numerous books about Buddhism, the compassionate vegetarian spent much of his time meditating in caves and forests.

As such he garnered a higher esteem than his predecessor, the foreign monk and English Buddhist missionary Ananda Metteyya (Charles Henry Allan Bennett), and the British writer in Burma George Orwell (Nineteen Eighty-Four, Burmese Days, and 1936's "Shooting an Elephant").
  • The Awakening of the West
    Allan Bennett, a colleague of the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley, received the name "Ananda Metteyya" in British Ceylon (Sri Lanka) when he ordained as a Buddhist monk, studying and practicing in the East. He was the second Englishman to become a Theravada Buddhist monk (bhikkhu) and was instrumental in introducing Buddhism to England [as the PTS scholars had done since at least 1881, modeled on EETS of 1864], where he established the first Buddhist mission in the UK (WQ, Wiki, Stephen Batchelor's The Awakening of the West, p. 40).
U Lokanatha attracted many devotees as he crossed Burma and asked spiritual questions of senior monks who were widely considered to be enlightened (arhats), those awakened and thereby freed from the endless cycle of rebirth and suffering.

The Italian-American monk lived in Burma for many decades, moving from the colonial period to post-independence and military domination. He passed from cancer at the age of 68.
*The Italian-American monk from Brooklyn
Bennett, Buddhist in England
(Philip Deslippe) BIOGRAPHY: Salvatore Cioffi, who became Venerable Lokanatha (1897–1966), was born in Italy and raised in Brooklyn, New York, USA.

After becoming a Buddhist in his late-20s, U Lokanatha travelled to Burma, took ordination as a monk, and began a remarkable 40 year career as a writer, lecturer, organizer, and Buddhist "missionary" throughout South Asia and the world.

U Lokanatha garnered various responses. They are contextualized in the different cultural spheres in which he operated, from the anti-colonial Buddhist revival in Burma to the mocking indifference U Lokanatha found in the United States.

Scholarship on modern Buddhism, particularly recent work on the Irish monk, who first traveled to California then Asia, U Dhammaloka [Laurence Carroll], is used to situate U Lokanatha's life and its facets of conservative reformer and transnational actor.

Finally, an account of the source material used to reconstruct the life of U Lokanatha is employed.

It offers a practical methodological explanations for his absence from conventional narratives of modern Buddhism and what his inclusion along with other figures might mean in the future. More

Sex is causing Bali volcano's eruption

Climbers having sex on Mt. Agung angers the volcano which will lead to an eruption.
What have the bule done to our land?
Foreigners have disrespected the mountain which has angered Agung, "the Beast," and this is why it is about to erupt, residents living near to Mt. Agung insist.

The Indonesian volcano looks set to blow as up to 400 earthquakes have hit the region over the last few days, causing 75,000 people to flee the danger zone.

Bali volcano update: Climbers having SEX on Agung are to blame, say locals.

.
While the imminent eruption is a natural phenomenon, a priest of a nearby village, Muntig, a Balinese village inside the volcano evacuation zone, says that the mountain is angry because the “bule” -- white people [actually any “foreigner”] -- have been having sex and menstruating on it, according to Australia’s Fairfax Media.

Jaya, the priest of the village, said: "The climbers did that.”

No-one can predict when Agung will erupt, say the villagers but the biggest warning sign will be when the animals start fleeing.
 
Another local, Ketut, said: "The old people advised us the heat from the mountain will make them flee. All kinds of animals -- deer, snakes, wild cows, anything.” More


"Climbers did that"!
, (Sydney Morning Herald, Sept. 27, 2017)


Jaya's priest said Mount Agung -- the largest and most sacred mountain in Bali -- is wrathful because the "bule" (white people) had sex and menstruated on the mountain. "The climbers did that," Jaya said. Mt. Agung looked deceptively calm on Wednesday, with a puff of white cloud hovering above the peak. More
A Bule in Bali: American in Indonesia

Indonesia on the other hand, that’s a place that doesn’t really come up much in everyday American life.

China, Russia, India, sure, I know those places. I read about them. Sometimes stuff that happens there shows up on my Facebook feed. I can even show you where they are on a map.
 
Indonesia, however, I’ve seen it on some t-shirt tags, and that’s about it. Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, but to a lot of us, that’s just that place that had that tsunami. Or at least, that’s what it was to me when I agreed to go live there. See, Americans... More

The lunar "Year of the Horse" (2014)

CC Liu, Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly; 123newyear.com
Year of the Horse logo (123newyear.com)
  
I had a white pony once but renounced it all.
The year 2014 is considered the "Year of the Horse" according to the Chinese zodiac, which uses the lunar calendar. It begins January 31, 2014 and ends on February 18, 2015.

The Chinese zodiac is comprised of 12 animal signs (one mythical, the others ordinary). The horse is the seventh among them. It symbolizes graciousness, dignity, momentum, and firmness. In Chinese culture, people born during the Year of the Horse are regarded as witty, elegant, eloquent, and charming speakers.

Most of them possess a gift for getting their way by going through the hearts of other people. People bearing the horse sign strive towards seeking freedom and happiness.
  • The 12 zodiac signs apply based only on the birth year. Everyone born this year, 12 years before now, and 12 years before then are all that sign. Last year was the Year of the Snake, which will happen again in 12 years. The world's zodiac charts, their astrological calendars, differ from one another, adhering to their own system and predictive value.
Personality
Happy Year of the Horse (photo.elsoar.com)
Horse people are lively, bright, and are known for their physical strength. They can express themselves well when communicating with other people. People born under the sign of the horse prefer to stay at peaceful places.... (Hunger Game's catty "Katniss Everdeen," Jennifer Lawrence, is actually a celebrity horse; expect to see her on a lot of gossip magazine covers in the years to come).

Relationships for Year of the Horse
Lawrence's middle finger mudra (Getty Images)
In matters related to love horse people -- according to the Chinese zodiac -- often suffer bad luck. 

Heartbreak is often experienced by horse people. They need to exercise caution and watch out for feeble bonds that do not survive over time. 

Sometimes their propensity to indulge in overspending or their financial struggles come into their way of maintaining love bonds. They can become too dependent on others, and this makes them vulnerable. They need to watch out for the tendency to bring out feelings too quickly, long before others.

Such candor about love (infatuation) might not be taken in a positive way. And their strategies to resolve their love issues also tend to be their own. (Maybe get the advice of others in stable relationships instead of running wild). More
