Another author expert on MSNBC citing the bogus statistic that 90% of the drugs in America come through legal ports of entry! There is no way on Earth that they could know that with any degree of certitude! He then goes on to say that the trial of El Chapo confirms that- which is not at all what I read about the trial. El Chapo was talking about tunnels and private airplanes and boats and even catapults! None of that sounds like “ legal ports of entry”!So Trump is not the only liar-by no means! No wonder so many people distrust the media and voted for Trump. The media are just as biased as the right and left extremes in promoting their agendas! Anyone having direct experience with an event covered by the media knows that just as anyone having direct experience with our so-called justice system knows how unjust it is. Our society is based on a whole tissue of lies. Now admittedly the lies are not as bad as those of North Korea or Iran or China. But that is a very low bar for acceptance!

Ilhan Omar and the problem of anti-Semitism in the Muslim community
The Ilhan Omar case.(A young Muslim Democrat in the U.S. House of representative spouting hateful stereotypes of Jews in a public forum).I am not usually a big fan of Fareed Zakariah who is another example of elite Ivy League American University education but this time he is right on.I quote him:“But I believe that Muslims should be particularly thoughtful when speaking about these issues because anti-Semitism has spread through the Islamic world like a cancer.Antisemitism”, he added, “is now routine discourse in Muslim populations in the Middle East and also far beyond.”Yes! As a Muslim convert I have seen it over and over again! And it is pathological- a paranoid conspiratorial mind-set that is definitely not to our advantage.So this is NOT an individual problem of Ilhan Omar who seems nice enough(I like her presence actually.A cut above most politicians I would say). it is a collective problem of the Muslim Ummat.And i dare say this is a major factor in Muslims not playing their rightful part in American politics and, in fact,being outplayed regularly by the Zionist supporters.
Zachariah goes on to say(again I couldn’t agree more)” Israel was guilty of bigoted policies towards Palestinians and that AIPAC exerts considerable political influence over elected officials.These are legitimate issues to vigorously debate and discuss in the United States, just as in Israel,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, by phrasing the issue as the two new representatives sometimes have, they have squandered an opportunity to further that important debate.”
So,to his credit,Zachariah is NOT a black and white thinker.And nor should we,as Muslims, be so.What always astonishes me about the Muslims on this question is that they don’t realize that WE HAVE WON!There are 1.4 billion Muslims and the Jewish population is less than 25 million.Why do Muslims feel so victimized?! The vast majority of our problems are self-inflicted ,if you analyze the situations properly.
P.S. I think this subject is finally being opened up for discussion.During the back and forth dialogue on my Facebook page I brought up the fact that I have NEVER heard an Imam at jumaa praying for peace in the Middle East! That is a problem and an anachronism.It is a carry-over from the vulnerable state of the Muslims at the very beginnings of our tradition when they were surrounded and vastly outnumbered by their enemies.We are now 1,4 billion strong.But it’s as if the Muslim ummat has not caught up with the times and still wants to blame others(Israel,U.S.A.,C.I.A., Freemasons etc.) for its failures.Sad,really!
Justice?!
- So according to most legal authorities, Robert Mueller , also known as special counsel,is the best of the best! Then the entire Justice system has broken down into a complex chess game( Mueller being the Gary Kasparov of the game or maybe more appropriately the Deep Blue computer lol)where the goal of winning is considerably more important than any sense of fairness. Real justice is about solving a specific crime and exercising the appropriate punishment. This process has as much to do with justice as prostitution has to do with Love!
Lying-the M.O. of Modern Societies
Breaking News! Shocking developments! Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie! How could he lol?! Really? The entire legal,democratic political and advertising industry to boot is based on lying! Does the court not instruct witnesses to “tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the Truth”?Do the lawyers in preparing their clients not then train them on what to say,what not to say and how to say it?Is that not lying ?! Do the government and legal reports and Commission reports not have ridiculously large amounts of redactions? Is that not lying? When Monsanto tells us its pesticides are safe and when the cellphone companies tell us there is no danger from the emfs and microwaves coming from our phones and their towers, are They not lying.And when the hallowed Supreme Court of the U.S.A.says that billionaires being allowed to spend as much money as they want on campaign financing is consistent with democracy,are they too not lying?!This is outright hypocrisy! It is time for our entire society to come clean and admit that currently lying is endemic -even necessary for success! The real slogan here behind the scenes is:” Lie but don’t get caught”.And admittedly Trump is an incompetent liar.Obama and both Clintons were much better at it!
Climate Change?
The obsession with”climate change” and “global warming” has seriously obscured the environmental debate. The issue is not really “climate change” ! The real issue is human health, not global warming.
I’ll give you a couple of simple examples of what I mean. If you insulate your home in order to save energy, you are inevitably increasing the concentration of toxins in your home.(And for the more sophisticated nay-sayers amongst the readers,heat distribution units ,as recommended by certain construction norms,most often add in a new level of problems concerned with what grows in their ducts) Given that the concentration of toxins in indoor air is already ten times that in outdoor air, you can see that the potential for impacting human health is enormous.
Example two. If you install laminate floors now cleverly marketed as “ floating floors”( how comfy!)you have used much less wood than if you had installed proper hardwood floors. So you saved a few trees. And trees are good for the environment. They absorb CO2 and they produce O2. Great. But the laminate floors have a high quantity of glues and chemicals including formaldehyde! Formaldehyde is a known cancerogenic product and it off-gasses for years! So you have decreased the carbon emissions but you have contributed a serious hazard to human health!
Did you also know that those great solutions of solar and wind energy produce “dirty electricity” because of the intermittent currents generated? Dirty electricity is far more detrimental to human health than regular electricity! Oops!Thought we had the answer!
And that other great environmental solution-electrical cars- produce high levels of EMFs( electromagnetic fields) that are also known health risks. The last time I tested one with my Trifield meter , there was a reading off 100 Milligaus in the back sest! Above 3 milligaus there are known biological effects. Btw That specific spot in the back seat is exactly where your toddler would be sitting! And we wonder why there is so much cancer in children?!
PS If we seriously addressed human health,global warming would take care of itself as most of the carbon imprint is generated by toxic, cancerogenic chemicals like the byproducts of fossil fuel emissions.So beware! Most of the news you are getting is very partial and biased. It may not be “fake news”. But it is certainly “spun and filtered news”
Aspergers ( cont’d)
Aspergers disease is a very subtle phenomenon. Having practiced psychiatry for over fourty years when I evaluated a new patient I often knew what the diagnosis was within a few minutes! However almost every time I didn’t know what it was, it turned out to be Aspergers. That’s because they appear so normal , people assume they are acting in bad faith. Actually there is a neurophysiological pathology involved, one that is not easy to spot and even more difficult to treat. The essential symptom is that “they don’t get it” especially when it involves other people. So we need to adapt to them rather than chastise them. Salaams
Businessman and Lawyers
And so”yes” maybe the cut-throat world of business IS the best preparation for the presidency! The lawyer types have been coddled for years by a judicial system that protects itself and its agents(the lawyers and judges) far more than it protects the rights of victims and the perpetrators of crime-which it falsely claims to do.So the lawyers are more like pampered children than responsible adults!
Sheikhs, Gurus And Shady Characters
(From a dream message) “Don’t ever try to be a Sheikh or a guru if you are Narcissistic or Prone to angry outbursts or Corrupt.” But don’t despair. There are plenty of other career options open to you. You can still be a President of a country or a Supreme Court Judge or a banker lol
Obsessional Processes -The Social Norm!
I guess my theory is once again confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Comittee in its decision re Brett Kavanaugh.I used to believe that the American, and by extension most Western judicial systems, get results that are only randomly connected to reality. I have come to believe,on the contrary, that the protocol-based, obsessional processes that are endemic in all our legal and political systems actually come to conclusions that are inversely related to reality. That is, that they get it regularly and systematically wrong. The equivalent process occurs in obsessive individuals , who I have observed over the years in my practice, who regularly make bad decisions because they “can’t see the forest for the trees”! God help us all. And the way He helps us the most is keeping us at a maximum distance from these processes that the “blind, deaf and dumb” lawyers and politicians like Judge Kavanaugh and his Senate enablers call “due process”.
Why we are so scr—d!
The trigger for this piece was a video interviewing an expert on electricity,Dave Stetzer,explaining how both wind and solar energy are generating toxic,”dirty” electricity!Wow! The emperor has no clothes.In fact he’s a stripper!Spiritual and moral reasons aside for the meantime,the following is what I see happening on the ground.
We have some very creative and clever inventors generating all kinds of interesting products and processes to make our lives better.For example there were discoverers of chemical pesticides and herbicides designed to solve one of the fundamental problems in agriculture-pests that destroy the crops.There were other inventors who discovered alternate forms of energy to help us with the problem of greenhouse effects from burning hydrocarbons and there are the inventors of new construction materials like particle board and laminate floors to help us with the limited supplies of lumber available in our forests. All of these inventions, at first glance, look interesting and promising.And they all have potential positive economic and even political effects.
But they all have potential harmful effects as well.So they need to be assessed and evaluated.Given the considerable economic effects of these products,the evaluation process tends to get rushed and pushed aside by the politicians involved in the process who are most often asleep at the wheel.But,even worse the evaluations,when done, are put into the hands of obsessive,plodding,pedantic scientists with lots of data but little insight and judgment and perspective.Instead of choosing really smart people who can use not only the data but also their instincts and insight and even common sense to be able to predict the consequences,we hire statisticians and robotic scientists to do the work.Is it any wonder that it took decades to prove the health effects of cigarettes and DDT insecticides?!By the time DDT was banned(at least in Western countries ,there were hundreds of new pesticides developed some of them probably just as noxious as DDT if not more so.And now that cigarettes are universally denounced,even by their users, no one is seriously evaluating the pulmonary effects of long-term cannabis use as the “legalize pot” campaign is in full swing.
Think about it for a moment.Does it really take a genius to figure out that a substance that kills insects made of much the same biological substrate as us,is going to be harmful to humans.Does it take a rocket-scientist to figure out that if you put known carcinogens like formaldehyde into our construction materials ,it is not going to be good for human health.Unfortunately the minds of the decision-makers are so polluted by complexity and self-interest that they are blind to the reality.
So ,bottom line,we have clever,fast-paced inventors supported by avaricious businessmen and their political allies against plodding scientists often with minimal resources and even less insight competing with each other! Who do you think is going to win?! And who are the losers lol? All of us! This is the end-game,I believe!Thank God I know there is another world.Because this one is scr—d!
