Merry Christmas :-)

There is a certain Love
that is formed out of the
elixir of the East.
There is a certain cloud,
impregnated with a
thousand lightnings.
There is my body,
in it an ocean formed of his glory,
all the creation,
all the universes,
all the galaxies,
are lost in it.


Sincerely wishing you a Peaceful and loving day

... and lots of joy

Merry Christmas

Egypt: Black day; 17 December 2011

The burning of L'Institut D'Egypt

Titled: Fire engine being stopped from putting out the fire ...

Summery of what's being said;

Girl - Let them put the fire out

Protester - Why put it out?

Another protestor - Let it burn

Girl - Put it out, go put it out

Different protestors - No

... and another ...




... and the protesters ...

Titled: Honourable protesters in front of Cabinet Office building rolling drugs

Molotov bombs ...



And a 'Molotov' for the Authority of Roads and Bridges close by ... Fire did run and it's now, and it's contents and documents, burned ... and looted!



And those are ...

Peaceful protests? :-(

Walls go up [click]

Egypt: Terrifying 'Democracy'!

Less than one year ago Egypt was a moderate, very safe, stable and thriving country looking towards a bright future. Eleven months on, policing is down, economy and investment are down, tourism is down, her ex president and her top business brains are in jail awaiting trial with some even calling for their execution ... while corrupt former 'employees' who embesled loads are still running free ... and that won't alert them, no! Basically, all that is left of her institutions now is her protectors; her army ... and 'they' are deliberately trying to bring that down too! ... and put the brakes on her healthy grawth to bring that completely down too ... and keep it down! And you'd think it's all meant to be; to deliberately and forcefully organise to dismantle and bring down a whole nation ... and s*d it's over 80,000,000 innocent inhabitants on the way, don't you? May well be the case, otherwise, why do all these sparks happen whenever she tries to stand on her feet? And, who are 'they'?!

Heartless monsters! ... who and where?

Well, your guess is as good as mine ... and there are loads of guesses flying about!

Or, maybe I am, and loads more Egyptians are wrong and what is happening is 'transitional', a few pains to that elusive democracy ... or, lots of pain, and the Egyptian people are enduring all that in exchange for what?

For 'democracy' ... of course, or the hope of ... anyway ....

Egyptians can now go to the local polling station, and elect 'someone' ... that's 'democracy'

... and following that, you'll have an elected 'parliament' ... that's democracy

... and 'they' will make you a new 'constitution' ... hallelujah ... at least you can then have a few nice jokes! ... and a few 'things' to keep your mind busy ...

... and eeeverybody has a view on Egypt's 'democracy', but the Egyptians! Oh, sorry, they are allowed to elect now, aren't they?

You know what you 'democracy' folk? Why don't you take that democracy of yours and go to .... and stay there! Yes, you read that right! ... whoever and wherever you are ....

Because, that is 'the' only solution to this mess, me thinks!


The 'protesters occupied the prime treelined road where the elegant offices of the Prime Minster as well as the parliament building are located and stopped the Prime Minister from entering for more than a week prior to these clashes and to date, thus forcing him, and all those working there to get in from the back door! Is that 'protesting'? And then, amidest all their tents and their graffetti, etc, they, in large groups, started playing football in that street and the ball went over the fence, and when the soldiers refused to give it back, they broke the brick walls fronting the garden to the PM building and used the rocks to hit the soldiers, who had to hurl them back in self defence, then it escalated!

Institut d'Egypt, built 1798 and housing 200,000 books written in all subjects by top Egyptian as well as world renown writers

The protesters then set fire to parts of the two buildings as well as to a research and science library with valuable scientific heritage, including precious books safe in Egypt since Napoleon burned to ashes! The building now is unsafe and yesterday the TV reported that the building's IT system was vandalised and/ burned. Individual laptops included, and stolen too. The large number of books that were saved from the huge library somehow were lining the street awaiting rescue! Some trees were burned too! Despite being asked several times, the 'protesters' refuse to leave ... TV now reports that 12 trucks where loaded with the remaining books and research papers, now in dire condition, it doesn't say where those were taken to ... scientists and researchers are distraught, they are now openly crying on TV ... they say that loads of historic books, many the envy of the world and are thought by researchers from the world over, were burned. Of those saved, some were ruined by the water used, presumably, to put out the raging fire ....

... Now, totally burned ... only around 25,000 books were saved, with huge numbers needing serious repair because of fire and/or water! The ministry of Roads and bridges closeby was burned beyond repair too ... and the battle continues ...

Those are the 'peaceful protesters'! And when this keeps on happening during such critical times for the country;

Egypt Stocks Fall on Deadly Cairo Clashes; Tadawul Extends Gains [click]

Then those who take part through conspiracy, payment by third parties, or because of sheer ignorance and idiocy, then they deserve whatever happens when they occupy vital places of government, then turn to violence and attack the army and/or the police resulting in this;

Egypt: eight killed as new clashes in Cairo threaten to reignite mass protests [click] and [this] or even [this]

Egypt: Make yourself free ...

Translates: Egypt, land of freedom ...

Make yourself free from self at one stroke!

Like a sword be without trace of soft iron;

Like a steel mirror, scour off all rust with contrition.

"I did the right thing!"

“The only distinctions which should be recognized are those of the soul, of strong principle, or incorruptible integrity, of usefulness, of cultivated intellect, of fidelity in seeking the truth.”

“Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.”

They say "Fidility is the sister of Justice", so did the man with the Big Heart who pledged fidility and went for action and not just words 'Isolate Britain'?

... and the answer is;

No! He Protected Britain!

For what was on offer was a Trap for Britain! ...


He did do the right thing! So ...

Well done Prime Minister, and as they say;

" Always a winner he who consults his heart at the same time as his head"

And to those who doubt, I wonder, what would you have said if he had signed that treaty?

As for 'friendship', Britain has already done a lot for her friends, and it works both ways ... and the Great Island is going nowhere ...
