<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Whilst in the Rhodesian Air Force I was Training Officer for 108 (Field) Squadron. As such I received many training and other films from Israel, sent over by the Israeli Defence Ministry. These I showed to Squadron Members on Training Nights. They left me with an almost insatiable interest in the Middle East - where my father served in Egypt, Palestine and Iraq with the Royal Navy. I still have very old faded photographs of that area.<br /><br />Dad also met D H Lawrence and serviced his Brough Superior Motor Cycle. Coupled with my lectures to various organisations on, in particular, the Old Testament this fed my appetite for information. Today I still study the area. <br /><br />Recently, in Canada, I was given the book Lawrence IN Arabia ~ the book written by renowned author Scott Anderson. It chronicles a gripping analysis of Lawrence himself and the intrigues and betrayals that have made the area the hot bed of hate that it is today.<br /><br />After reading the book one will find him/herself at odds with the Western Government and Zionist Propaganda that is the norm in the Main Stream Media today.<br /><br />I am not going to detail anything here ~ just do the research and get a copy. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is the birthday of the 26th president of the United States:<b> Theodore Roosevelt Jr</b><a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/theodoreroosevelt?elq=6424100f4ab646f7a32dda0fcba2c979&elqCampaignId=3894" target="_blank"><b></b></a>,
born in New York City on this date in 1858. He was born into privilege,
but he was a sickly child and suffered from asthma, so he spent much of
his time indoors. When his doctors discovered he had a weak heart, they
advised him to live a quiet life and take some kind of a desk job that
wouldn't prove too strenuous or stressful. But he dreamed of becoming a
naturalist and an adventurer, and by the time he was a teenager, he had
developed a program of rigorous exercise, including boxing and lifting
weights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He worked hard at Harvard and went on to study law at Columbia, but
he grew impatient and left his studies in favor of politics, where he
enjoyed many early successes. But on Valentine's Day, 1884, both his
mother and his wife, Alice, died. Devastated, Roosevelt left behind the
world of politics — and his baby daughter — to become a cattle rancher
in the Badlands of the Dakota Territory. It would be two years before he
returned to the New York political scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His
political bent was progressive: he fought monopolies, reformed the
workplace, regulated industry, and championed immigrants and the middle
class. He supported desegregation and women's suffrage. He was serving
as vice president under William McKinley when McKinley was assassinated
in 1901. At age 42, Roosevelt was the youngest man ever to become
president of the United States. And the sickly child had grown up into a
man who championed "a life of strenuous endeavor," demanding that
everyone around him
adopt his now robust and active outdoor lifestyle. He served two terms —
from 1901 to 1909 — and then after a few years away, returned to
politics, feeling "fit as a bull moose," as he said. His quote gave rise
to his Progressive Party's nickname, the "Bull Moose Party." He felt so
fit that when he was shot in the chest during an assassination attempt,
he continued campaigning
for over an hour before seeking help, and he recovered quickly. Although
he received the largest number of votes for a third-party candidate in
U.S. history, he lost the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One
of Roosevelt's lasting legacies is the conservation movement. As a
young man, he had witnessed the near-eradication of the buffalo in the
Dakota Territory, and he realized that action was necessary to preserve
the country's natural resources and open spaces. During his presidency,
he provided protection for almost 230 million acres of land, creating
150 national forests and five national parks. In 1908, he gave a speech
at the Conference on the Conservation of Natural Resources, saying: "We
have become
great because of the lavish use of our resources and we have just reason
to be proud of our growth. But the time has come to inquire seriously
what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the
oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have been still further
impoverished and washed into the streams [...] It is time for us now as a
nation to exercise the same
reasonable foresight in dealing with our great natural resources that
would be shown by any prudent man in conserving and wisely using the
property which contains the assurance of well-being for himself and his
children."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roosevelt's literary inclinations aren't as widely known as his
national parks or his reputation as a hale and hearty outdoorsman, but
they're unmatched by any other American president. He read voraciously,
and quickly; it's said he read an entire book every day before
breakfast. He loved poetry; Robert Frost once said, "He was our kind. He
quoted poetry to me. He knew poetry." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roosevelt wrote some three dozen books himself; his first, <i>History of the Naval War of 1812</i>
(1882) was published not long after he graduated from Harvard. In it,
he boldly took on — and refuted — many of the accepted interpretations
of the war, and he earned respect as a historian at the age of 23.
Within two years, the book had sold three editions and was being used as
a textbook in some college classrooms. Within five years, it was
required reading in the U.S. Navy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His work spanned a wide array of genres: history, political essay,
biography, autobiography, natural science, foreign policy, and
philosophy. He began writing when he was nine years old: a paper titled
"The Natural History of Insects," which was based on hours of field
research conducted by Roosevelt and his young cousins. And his last
book, published just after his death in 1919, was a bound collection of
warm and witty fatherly advice in the form of 20 years' worth of letters
to his children.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He
wrote, of his time in the Badlands: "My home ranch-house stands on the
river brink. From the low, long veranda, shaded by leafy cotton-woods,
one looks across sand bars and shallows to a strip of meadowland, behind
which rises a line of sheer cliffs and grassy plateaus. This veranda is
a pleasant place in the summer evenings when a cool breeze stirs along
the river and blows in the faces of the tired men, who loll back in
their rocking-chairs (what true American does not enjoy a
rocking-chair?), book in
hand — though they do not often read the books, but rock gently to and
fro, gazing sleepily out at the weird-looking buttes opposite, until
their sharp outlines grow indistinct and purple in the after-glow of the
sunset."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That weak heart that the doctors discovered in his childhood caught
up with him in the end. He died in his sleep, of a coronary embolism, at
the age of 60. His son Archie cabled the news: "The old lion is dead."</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Considering
that one of the things Roosevelt is remembered for is his Roughrider
Army in Cuba it seems to me to be strange that he was awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today is the anniversary <b>of the surrender that ended the American Revolutionary War</b>,
in Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781. George Washington had had a difficult
spring. His troops were low on supplies and food, their clothing was in
shreds, and there had been a steady stream of desertions from his ranks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By summer, Washington had only a few thousand troops camped at West
Point, New York. The British expected Washington to attack New York
City, which he had been planning to do for most of the spring. But when
he learned that the British forces under the control of Lord Cornwallis
were building a naval base on the Yorktown Peninsula in Virginia, he
decided impulsively to march his army from New York to Virginia, in the
hopes of trapping Cornwallis and capturing his army.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Washington's plan was one of his boldest moves of the entire war —
moving his army 400 miles in order to catch his enemy by surprise. He
had to march his troops toward New York City first, in order to scare
the British into hunkering down for an attack. Then he quickly moved
south. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Washington's
men and their French allies marched every day from <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2095077542" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">2:00 a.m.</span></span>
until it grew too hot to continue. It was a hot summer, and on one day,
more than 400 men passed out from the heat. Few armies in history had
ever moved so far so fast. Lord Cornwallis learned of Washington's
approach before he arrived, but Cornwallis chose not to flee, because he
thought his troops would be evacuated by the British navy. He didn't
realize that the British ships had already been routed by a French fleet
from the south. So in
the early weeks of October, he watched as Washington's troops surrounded
the city and began a siege. After several days of bombarding the city
with gun and cannon fire, Washington received word that Cornwallis would
surrender. Washington requested that the British march out of the city
to give up their arms, and the surrender began at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2095077543" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">2:00 a.m.</span></span>
on this day in 1881. The one soldier who
didn't surrender was Cornwallis himself. Instead, he sent his sword with
his second-in-command to be offered to the French general, signifying
that the British had been defeated by the French, not the Americans.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In didn't matter though. England didn't have enough money to raise
another army, and they appealed to America for peace. Two years later,
the Treaty of Paris was signed, and the war was officially over.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
...on this day in 1961 <b>Congress approved a bill to establish the Peace Corps</b>,
and President Kennedy signed it into law. Less than a year earlier,
then-Senator Kennedy was in the middle of an exhausting campaign tour.
On <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_772065019" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">October 13th</span></span>,
Kennedy wrapped up his third debate against Nixon and flew from New
York to Michigan. He delivered a campaign speech at the airport, and
another at Eastern Michigan University. His stops took longer than
expected, so he arrived at the University of Michigan late — at about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_772065020" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">2 a.m.</span></span>
— where he was hoping to get some sleep before the next
day's campaign stops. He had no intention of giving a speech there, but
when he got out of his car, he found thousands of students who had
waited up in the cold and drizzle to see him. He started his standard
campaign speech, but changed his mind and began to improvise. He
challenged the college students, asking how many of them would be
willing to give up part of their careers to volunteer
abroad on behalf of their country. The audience was so enthusiastic that
they sent him a petition with the names of 1,000 students who were
willing to do exactly that. He continued to campaign around this idea,
and eventually received more than 25,000 letters in support of this
"peace corps" of young Americans. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kennedy took office in January, and a few days later commissioned a
Peace Corps Task Force. By March, he had issued an executive order
establishing the Peace Corps on a temporary basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over
the summer, Kennedy tried to convince Congress to adopt the Peace Corps
permanently, but many members of Congress opposed the idea, especially
Republicans. They didn't think taxpayers should have to pay for it, and
one Republican senator called the Peace Corps a "utopian brainwash." But
Republican representative Marguerite Stitt Church had traveled
extensively in Africa, and she disagreed. She gave a speech and said:
"Here is something which is aimed right, which is American, which is
sacrificial
— and which above all can somehow carry at the human level, to the
people of the world, what they need to know; what it is to be free; what
it is to have a next step and be able to take it; what it is to have
something to look forward to, in an increase of human dignity and
confidence." Her speech changed the opinion of many Republicans and the
bill to establish the Peace Corps was
passed on this day with wide bilateral support. </div>

<br />
It's the birthday of Maria Montessori, born on this day in Chiaravalle, Italy (1870).<br />
<br />
She was a bright student, studied engineering when she was 13, and — against her father's wishes — she entered a technical school, where all her classmates were boys. After a few years, she decided to pursue medicine, and she became the first woman in Italy to earn a medical degree. It was so unheard of for a woman to go to medical school that she had to get the approval of the pope in order to study there.<br />
<br />
As a doctor, she worked with children with special needs, and through her work with them she became increasingly interested in education. She believed that children were not blank slates, but that they each had inherent, individual gifts. It was a teacher's job to help children find these gifts, rather than dictating what a child should know. She emphasized independence, self-directed learning, and learning from peers. Children were encouraged to make decisions.<br />
<br />
She was the first educator to use child-sized tables and chairs in the classroom.
During World War II, Montessori was exiled from Italy because she was opposed to Mussolini's fascism and his desire to make her a figurehead for the Italian government. She lived and worked in India for many years, and then in Holland.<br />
<br />
She died in 1952 at the age of 81.
She wrote many books about her philosophy of education, including The Montessori Method (1912), and is considered a major innovator in education theory and practice.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">There is so much Gloom and Doom around. </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">There shouldn't be. So what if there is war and chaos and death and destruction in all the newspapers and the TV programs and radio shows and so on. If we esch raise our own consciousness and concentrate instead on all that is beautiful in the world then as surely as night follows day and the Light of a new Dawn follows the dark the world will become a more beautiful place to live. <br /><br />We sit and enjoy the benefits of Technology and all that it has given us. I would love everyone to look around them and show appreciation for the Universe and what has been created. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Think to yourselves what do I really love? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">What makes MY life worth living?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white;">It could be the beauty of the Countryside in Autumn such as is shown in my Picasa Album</span></div>

Every day the same old, same old, is pumped out by the MainStream Media which appears to act at the behest of a higher power. Politicians make pronouncements in the face of all reason and seem to be drawn to war as though they have hooks in their jowls or rings in their noses. <br />
<br />
Against all reason they want to send the youth of their country, both male and female, to die in foreign lands and tout the old lies of fighting '...for queen and country' or '...to keep our country free' over and over again.<br />
<br />
And the masses of people, their awareness dulled by hours of watching television, sport, rock concerts etc blindly repeat the propaganda beamed at them by those with a vested interest in the charade.<br />
<br />
Those who pay with their blood and their livelihoods, who attend the services for the fallen, who listen to the rabid rantings of mediocre politicians acquiesce as their land is stripped from them and all power coalesces in the hands of a few. And the laughable thing is that those men and women who believe themselves to be a part of the Elite, of the Powers that be, do not realise that they are simply Pawns in the Game just as the rest of humanity are. They do not see that their own minds are controlled by some other power - that comes from the darkest parts and will no doubt eventually return there.<br /><br />They are happy to watch as men, women and children are killed and mutilated as a result of their decisions. And the so called Heroes do not think as their actions are used to accomplish this perfidy.<br /><br />As Mark Twain so eloquently put it ~<br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: red;">O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle -- be Thou near them! With them -- in spirit -- we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.</span></i></b>Rob 'Ralpapajan' Thurmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00562883016530347372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11462731.post-32774008717167684382013-08-20T08:12:00.002+01:002013-08-20T08:13:41.113+01:0020 August 2013 Today's Headlines 3<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This all revolves around the American Whistleblower ~ Edward Snowden. No doubt to most people around the world this is a well known name. It seems to me that the degree of panic amongst Governments is intensifying. We have already see how the States forced European countries to ban the over flight of a plane carrying a senior government official from South America. Now, it seems, the hassling of reporters who have any connection to the man is being carried out. A Brazilian reporter in transit to Brazil at Heathrow was detained in this land of Freedom.

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those who don't know what fracking is ~ no it isn't a swear word though it could be used as one ~ <b><a href="http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fracking.asp" target="_blank">here is a site defining it</a></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><i>"A slang term for hydraulic
fracturing. Fracking refers to the procedure of creating fractures in
rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force
them further open. The larger fissures allow more oil and gas to flow
out of the formation and into the wellbore, from where it can be
extracted."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /><br />They want to 'Frack' in Balcombe ~ a
village and civil parish in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex,
England. It lies 31 miles south of London, 16 miles north of
Brighton, and 32 miles east north east of the county town of
Chichester. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The villagers do not want that to
happen. In the mistaken belief that the Government represents
'We... the People' they have protested as is their democratic right.
Not protected by any Constitution for Britain doesn't have such
a thing. </span><br />

precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of
all countries will go to North America. That country must
be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." ~</span></b></div>

<br />
Hidden beneath the facade of National Security blah blah blah that the Sheeple will undoubtedly blather on about citing no doubt their own experiences. "It didn't do me any harm." "It will give them some back-bone." "They'll learn how to respect the country." and so on and so on.<br /><br />Britons have, since time immemorial (1199) and before been subjected to a form of National Service though most do not recognise this. Think on it and you will see that the monarchs and leaders of the past have always used the peasant class to fight their wars, tend their crops and provide them with the comforts of life. Today it is no different.<br />
<br />
Though today the peasants are no longer called that they are now a free people who can live where they like and do what they want. As long as they do what their masters decide for them, of course, but no doubt the Sheeple will actually believe that. Just as they believe that wars in foreign lands are to protect the country from harm and not to serve the Banksters and Multi-nationals that control all trade, industry and finance.<br />
<br />
If you want your kids to be trained as killers, brain washed into a mind set that supports the evil that is today's government then do nothing about this insidious attempt by an MP Philip Hollobone of Kettering to subvert the freedom of Britons once again.<br /><br />

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">A couple of years ago - at the end of a long cold winter in the UK - my daughter and I, on the spur of the moment, decided to go on holiday as far south as our British passports would take us without the nause of getting visas. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">We plumped on Malta - that Bastion of the Seas - sixty odd miles south of Sicily.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">We didn't have much cash to spare as both of us had just bought new cameras. So I looked for a cheap holiday. Amazingly we found that we could get a 75% reduction for an all inclusive bed, breakfast and flight. In fact it was so cheap that for the price of a room for one night at the Gatwick Airport Hotel we were able to get an eight day holiday with the flight thrown in!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">My God, I thought what sort of dump will this be? And the price included a taxi ride to and from the Hotel, situated on the coast in a place called Sliema. Still it would be warm,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">The flight over was good - OK it was on Easy Jet the economy airline but even that wasn't too bad. The taxi was there on time. It was a brand new people carrier. The trip into town was quick; too quick for some I guess for Malta has its share of crazy drivers, but we arrived safely. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">Then we were dropped off at the hotel. Surely not! Marble Floors, free wi-fi, superb view of the bay from the terrace by the pool. There must be something wrong. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">But no, this was our hotel. And it was great with comfortable beds, bath as well as shower and a fantastic breakfast thrown in. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">The eight days we spent touring Malta and Gozo, the smaller island nearby, made me want, not only to visit again but to rent a flat and live there! Friendly people, good food and wine, a superb bus service, historical buildings and museums. And no crime, we were told by locals. What a haven of peace in a turbulent world. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: large;">And the weather? Fantastic, though in winter the sea was a bit too cold for us South Africans from the heat of KwaZulu Natal.</span></div>
