When Nazis did this, it was called genocide

A government walls a certain group into an area several square miles and treats them as non-persons. The group revolts and the government imprisoning them attacks to starve them, kill them and raze the whole area to the ground. If you think I’m talking about the Gaza Strip you’re wrong. This was the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. But the parallels to what is occurring in Gaza are eerily similar, except the Nazis were trying to deport the Jews to concentration camps. We don’t know yet where the Israeli government will deport the Palestinians. Maybe they intend to simply let ...

Hamas no different than Hitler’s Nazis

Around the country, there are protest against Israel. Hamas kidnapped Jews, Americans and other people, tortured and killed many of them. I can’t figure out why there is a protest. How can any country kidnap and kill people and think that it is okay? There are no boundaries in today’s world. It is not making any sense. People are now commodities for political profit.

Thought energy has interchangeable mass?

Albert Einstein’s famous formula established the interchangeability of mass (matter) and energy in 1905. In 1945, this equivalency was demonstrated to all with the detonation of the first atomic bomb. Such a clear consensus has not been established as to what kind of energy thought is, however.

Is it true to state that “Thought, apparently in motion, due to its ...

Held accountable just as any other American

Trump’s conviction in New York reaffirms the principle that no one, not even a former president, is above the law in the United States of America. The evidence presented to the jury was damning, including numerous falsified documents with Trump’s signature on them. Falsification of business records is a serious crime, and Trump is finally being held accountable just as any other American would. Trump has often been called a fraudster—and now he has been convicted of just that: fraud, and trying to illegally pull one over on the American people. Trump’s felony conviction is ...

Maui exhilarates the soul

As always, visiting the County of Maui exhilarates the soul. So much Aloha and opportunities to explore the vast countryside. On this visit, we shared precious moments with family and friends, and met new acquaintances who will undoubtedly become friends over time. Time is what we have to share, the moment is the essence of life, gone too soon and never to be recovered. Our hearts go out to those affected by the recent tragedy in Lahaina, as fire survivors of the 2017 inferno in Sonoma County, we understand their plight. We pray that their lives will be made whole again and that ...
