Dear Barbados, It’s time to join the OECS. firmmeditation.wordpress.com…

Written in 2019… Ageing well? Ageing poorly? Too early to tell?

We’ve come such a long way. Imagine, back in 1980 our leaders had to insist that ours was a zone of peace… that we didn’t want military interventions… that we didn’t like the Monroe Doctrine. …Life was so backward and dangerous in those old days.

Nice words…

This year, the State of Israel has so far bombed: Syria 🇸🇾 Iran 🇮🇷 Lebanon 🇱🇧 Yemen 🇾🇪 Palestine 🇵🇸 and now, Qatar 🇶🇦 Carry on. Nothing to see here.

With the ongoing genocide in Palestine, the recent incursions in Syria and Lebanon, and now the alleged “preemptive” attack against Iran, the State of Israel under PM Netanyahu is unmistakably a rogue state, and should be treated as such. He is spoiling for a regional war.

14 years after the US helped to orchestrate regime change in Libya, and the murder of Gadaffi, the US is issuing travel bans on all Libyans. Seems like that change worked out well for all concerned…

After the ambush that was pulled on Cyril Ramaphosa, on the heels of all the attacks and insults leveled against other heads of gov’t in front of the media, who’s really so crazy as to accept the next Oval Office invite?

How NOT to do diplomacy 101…

As far as normalizing genocide, unilateralism, colonial land grabs, disregarding the UN charter, ignoring treaties. interference, bullying, and withdrawing from global responsibilities, this has been the most violently disruptive two weeks in the last 70 years.

Yes it’s terrible that Trump reversed Biden’s decision to remove Cuba from the list of sponsors of terrorism. But the real question is why did Biden wait ‘til his last day in office to do it? How many Cubans suffered the last 4 years because he was playing South Florida politics?

Donald Trump has: The Presidency The House The Senate and, let’s face it, the Supreme Court That’s power.

Tragic. We can’t continue like this. This is genocide.

• The violation of Ukrainian sovereignty is a blatant violation of international law. • The violations of Syrian, Yemeni, Iranian, and Lebanese sovereignty are blatant violations of international law. • The genocide in Palestine is a blatant violation of international law.

Over the last year, Netanyahu’s government in Israel has killed people in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Yemen, Iran and Lebanon. Yet the US media keeps fretting that this could become a “wider regional conflict.” Huh? Is that when those countries start fighting back in earnest?

Is it a dog whistle if everyone hears it?
