“The absurdity, the dark humor of our predicament.” I’ve only been experiencing the absurdity, with anger and disbelief toward the unchecked corruption, lies and hate. I wish I could see the present with a sense of humor, light or dark. It would be easier to live through…
I hear you, Jason. These are really disturbing and trying times. Humor is essential, if only for temporary relief. Let yourself have it, keep breathing, and reach out whenever. Always happy to listen and support. Andy
Yes, all the greedy interests you name. Missing is what current wars are about, and have been about for well over a century. No Marxist here. He was wrong about too many things. Still he was spot on about others. To comprehend economies and cultures, it’s important to start with the material resources available for development. Over a century ago petroleum took over the world, and here we are on top of the last oil wars without naming them. Every major war, and some ‘minor,’ for over a century has had an oil rivalry component. It’s dirty in more ways than one, and to mask the global oil hegemony, much investment has gone into diverting attention to the only tiny Jewish state with NO oil. How very familiar. How very Czarist. shalom / salaam
p.s. To clarify, the war for Israel has little to do with oil. It’s about Islamic Iran’s obsession with their destruction, which has gravely harmed millions of Iranian people along the way. There are two different wars here. Israel focuses on weaponry that has been used, and will be used against it. For the U.S. it’s oil and China. Two very different wars.
I always appreciate hearing from you! The battle is long and hard but we will get there in the end by keeping community, learning and devotion to our values and God at the center!
