Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?
Found this interesting - On the day of President Trump’s inauguration.
I walked into a block of flats / apartments today, near Paddington, pretty much Central London (UK.)
On the table in the communal hallway, where free magazines etc get left for residents, there was a small stack of slim, free newspapers (just 8 pages cover to cover.)
The front page headline : “Regime of the Nobel Peace Laureate – The war crimes of the Obama administration”
The rest of the front page is the connected article by Paul Craig Roberts. I’m used to reading Dr. Roberts on the web, but not to seeing his point of view on the front page of a paper circulating in central London. Reading near the top of the page, the list of areas this paper applies to are some of the most affluent parts of London.
The article begins : “There is no doubt that US President Barack Obama is a war criminal as are his military and intelligence officials and most of the House and Senate.”
A section further on reads : “Washington’s massive crimes against humanity – The questions are: If Trump becomes president, will Washington’s massive crimes against humanity continue? If so, will the rest of the world continue to tolerate Washington’s extraordinary evil?”
The longer piece by Roberts on page 4 appears to be a reproduction of this piece on Roberts’ site :
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017...craig-roberts/
Seeing them there, in print, in a circulated paper, felt like a shift in the air.
If this inauguration represents a transition of power, with President Trump as its public face, then may it truly assist in ushering in a more peaceful administration.
May the healing of divine, harmonious powers shape its agenda. May Trump’s efforts be true, rooted in deep conscience, decency and integrity.
A humble prayer.
I certainly preferred his inaugural address to some of his predecessors’.
Peace to one and all, here and now. Always.
