Obama: We do not have any business in Syria!

In Éditorial / Editorial, Prédictions / Predictions, Syria, War & Peace on May 4, 2013 at 2:21 pm

Barack Obama

US president Barack Obama said on Friday he does not foresee a scenario in which he would send US troops to Syria. However, if Syria is found to have used chemical weapons, he will be considering sending lethal aid to Syrian rebels he said, before adding: any additional steps taken by the United States, will be based on the facts on the ground in Syria and what is in the best interests of the American people and US national security. He also stressed out that he would not be pressured prematurely into a deeper intervention into Syria.

A New York Times/CBS News poll released last Tuesday found that 62 percent of Americans believe the United States has no responsibility to do anything about the fighting between Assad’s forces and anti-government rebels confirming my opinion and most certainly Obama’s opinion that the USA does not have any interest or business whatsoever in the Syrian conflict. This is the only reason why Obama has repeatedly shied away from any other than diplomatic US involvement in the Syrian conflict. This is Obama, a lot of hot air, a lot of showmanship and very little if no action.

Yes indeed, Obama will either go down in history has one of the most indecisive or most clever president the United States never had. No matter the judgment of time, his presidency is and will stay one of a lot of hot air and very little action.

Tendo as a New Worldwide Spiritual Trend

In New Trends, Prédictions / Predictions, Religion, Société / Society on April 19, 2013 at 3:27 pm

Michel Ouellette JMD  

Public Affairs & Communications Specialist

In times of perpetual political and religious conflict, of misery and sufferings, man always turns toward a supreme being for help, guidance and reinforcement of one’s opinion or command.

A few weeks ago, I was telling you about this new spiritual or religious Japanese movement called Tendo and, after meeting with Kazunori Nagamatsu Touken, the charismatic leader of that movement, I did my homework and met with most of the accredited representatives or the organization in North America.

Is Tendo going to be successful in North America as a new Trend?

I have my doubts.

Even with Tendans in Africa, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States, with only eighty-three Tendenshi across the world, I do not see how Tendo could become the next big thing.

For one, most of their Tendenshi only speaks Japanese making it very difficult to convey efficiently the message of their charismatic and revered Japanese leader, Kazunori Namagatsu, to the rest of the world.

Then there is the lack of comprehensive information on this movement and finally, there is a lot of confusion in the message the representatives are conveying. While they say Tendo is not a religion, they definitely talk about God and Saints, Heaven and Hell. They also have ceremonials with offerings to God.

What is exactly Tendo? Where is Tendo coming from? Is Tendo a new thing, or something that has roots in the origins of man?

If, like many others, because of the confusion, you did your homework and tried to find any information on Tendo on the web, you came out with absolutely or near to nothing closely or remotely related on the subject of Tendo as a spiritual belief or a religion. For the more persistent researchers, you probably came out with a few pages on the subject that were written for some in 2005 by some obscures writers or, on a Blog page written by an even more obscure writer.

For the even more persistent researchers, you probably, after many and very long hours of painful researches, found some historical data and very much incomplete information on the subject of Tendo. Most of tha information was written by William Theodore de Bary, the foremost world renowned expert on East Asian cultures in his book “In Sources of East Asian Tradition” publish by Columbia University press in 2008.

Yes indeed, for whoever wants to believe in modern Tendo, it is a monastic task and endeavor to only try to understand what Tendo is all about! And, I regret to have to tell it to those who did not realize it yet: “In our modern world and society, you are not going to be successful in promoting anything relying on faith only. Your sayings have to be documented and substantiated somehow in a comprehensive and trustworthy way!”

No trust means no members.

A lack of honest and reliable information means no trust; no trust means absolutely no faithful new members; ne new members means no future.

Without the proper structures adapted to the modern reality of the world and more reliable educational material written and distributed in the language of the country were they are establishing their missions, Tendo has absolutely no future. This is especially true in the western world.

Without proper “branding” and “marketing,” Tendo has absolutely no future.

Israel can attack Iran anytime!

Benny Gantz: Israel can attack Iran on its own anytime

 

“Israel’s army is capable of attacking Iran on its own without foreign support” says Israeli Chief of Staff Benny Gantz.

Asked if Israel’s military could wage attacks “alone” against the Islamic republic, Gantz replied: “Yes, absolutely. We have our plans and forecasts… if the time comes we’ll decide on whether to take military action against Tehran.”

In a separate interview, Gantz said the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran was not imminent, and that sanctions imposed by the international community should be given priority to stop Tehran’s nuclear drive.

In a third interview, with Israeli military radio, Gantz also warned of the security threat posed by neighbouring Syria’s civil war: “The rebels are for now engaged in combat against the army of President Bashar al-Assad, but it’s clear there will be a second war, possibly between current opponents of Assad, or possibly directed at us.”

Une attaque d’Israël sur l’Iran, une quasi-certitude !

Le chef d’état-major israélien Benny Gantz

Interrogé sur les capacités de l’armée israélienne d’attaquer seule l’Iran, le chef d’état-major israélien Benny Gantz a affirmé mardi que l’armée israélienne avait les capacités d’agir seule contre le programme nucléaire controversé de l’Iran.

«Oui, absolument. Nous avons nos plans, nos prévisions, nos évaluations (…) le moment venu nous déciderons», a-t-il affirmé dans une interview à l’occasion du 65e anniversaire de la création de l’État d’ Israël.

«Nous avons la capacité de faire face aux dangers posés par l’Iran, mais je ne veux pas entrer dans les détails opérationnels», a-t-il ajouté.

Kim Jong-un, the supreme leader of North Korea

Do not worry,

There will be no attack on us, no attack on China, no attack on Japan, no attack on Russia and no attack on South. Little Kim was only looking to promote his belly and baby face, to look more serious.

This guy is an international joke but in his own country he is now God, the ruler of the world.

About Iran and Israel

In Éditorial / Editorial, Prédictions / Predictions on April 12, 2013 at 4:01 pm

Iran-Israel

There will be no warning

In the fall of 2012, worried about the progress of Iranian nuclear program, the United States and Israel made a common attempt to strengthen their economic and military pressure on Iran. While the United States was increasing its naval presence in the Persian Gulf, Israel was defying the Iranian authorities.

Today, nothing has change and we are still in the dark about a still possible Israeli-Iranian conflict. All what we know is that over the years, Iran made significant progress in developing its own uranium enrichment technology. At the underground Fordo plant, over a thousand centrifuges have been installed, most of them operating at full capacity in September 2012. In August of 2010, the Bushehr nuclear plant was completed and operational. Since then, we assisted to this constant and persistent mutual exchange of threats between Tel Aviv and Tehran.

Over time, many analysts were inclined to think of a possible Israeli strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities. It did not happen. If this had happen, the response from Iran would have been devastating.

In May 2011, the former head of Mossad, Meir Dagan warned the Israeli government about a possible doomsday scenario. Dagan did not believe in a possibility of destroying the Iranian nuclear program with a single strike. At the same time, the United States and the allied Western countries had nearly exhausted their entire arsenal of economic sanctions against Iran. Such arsenal of sanctions was renewed in 2012 and the pressure on Damascus maintained.

Since then, we did not hear much from either the Iranian or the Israeli side and the question about the possible nuclear weapons allegedly being secretly developed by Iran is still unclear. Whatever the answer to this question is, I can tell you something: Iran and Israel are no North Korea; Iran and Israel are no Syria! If either one or the other has belligerent thoughts towards one another, we will be the last ones to know.

There will be no warning; there will be no barking; there will be no talk!

Syria and North Korea dominating G8 meeting

In Éditorial / Editorial, Prédictions / Predictions on April 11, 2013 at 2:11 pm

G8 UK 2013

Kerry did not make any promises

As the G8 foreign ministers are holding a second day of talks in London focusing on Syria and North Korea, the US Secretary of State John Kerry, as predicted and expected, especially since some of the Syrian opposition leaders recently pledged their allegiance to Al-Qaeda, did not make any promises as the same Syrian opposition leaders renewed their appeals for lethal aid.

Western and Middle Eastern nations supporting the opposition will meet in Turkey on April 20, where US Secretary of State John Kerry will attend the meeting of the so-called Friends of Syria “core group” in Istanbul. My personal belief, considering that the G8 consist of the US, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and Russia, is that the Syrians are going to have to fight their own war.

North Korean threats of war are also high on the agenda of the G8 talks.

How far is Kim Jong-un ready to go?

In Éditorial / Editorial, Prédictions / Predictions on April 9, 2013 at 9:00 pm

Kim-Jong-Un

How crazy are you….

North Korea’s next act of defiance against  the United states could be a critical one.

If little Kim sticks to the North Korean playbook, Pyongyang will test-fire one or two missiles in the next few weeks to come. These missiles with hit the open water and then, little Kim will claim victory, sit back and enjoy. Anything else could backfire on him and it would be only the beginning of a grand finale with fireworks, all in his backyard.

Certainly not a celebration he would enjoy.

Pyongyang demande aux étrangers d’évacuer la Corée du Sud

Plus con que çà…

Après avoir menacé les États Unis d’une attaque imminente et invité les ambassades des pays étrangers à quitter le territoire Coréen, La Corée du Nord renouvelle maintenant sa menace d’une guerre “thermonucléaire” et appelle les étrangers à considérer leur départ du pays.

Encore une fois, c’est là un jeu très dangereux auquel s’amuse le petit pourceau Nord-Coréen. Sera t’il dévoré tout rond ou devra t’il se résoudre à perdre la face. Quoi qu’il en soit, au point où en sont rendues les choses, un seul petit incident pourrait déclencher une situation tout à fait incontrôlable.

Même s’il ne dispose que de « pétards », advienne que ceux-ci lui “pette” dans les mains ou lui saute au visage, plusieurs seront éclaboussées. Ce ne sera pas la fête et ce ne sera certainement pas la Baie des cochons. Nous risquons d’assister à un BBQ en règle.

En tant que touriste, je n’hésiterais pas à quitter le pays.

June 2013, The Beginning of a New Era

In Éditorial / Editorial, Prédictions / Predictions on April 6, 2013 at 5:32 pm

fin-du-monde

June 2013, the beginning of a new era

Although from a scientific point of view that most doomsday scenario are mostly unlikely for the near future, there are worldwide signs all over the planet indicating that earth and mankind is now experiencing major changes, a major shift in civilizations is about to happen.

Since the origins of man, many societies especially have been ruled by religious and spiritual belief and all over the world, for years and years, the Apocalypse has been predicted.

It doesn’t take a nuclear physicist or a spiritual leader to predict that one day, this earth is going to die. All planets die one day and, when this will happen, if there are still men on earth, they will also die. This will be the end of the world, as we know it but certainly not the end of the universe. New planets are born everyday and the universe is still in expansion.

But, what about a possible global disaster that may happen in our days that could means the near extinction of man on earth?

History, science, studies and researches teach us that in the past, entire highly developed populations and civilizations suddenly disappeared from the surface of the planet on behalf of natural disasters. Entire species disappeared from the surface of the planet in a very short time period, even in minutes and all of this, without any warning. If this happen in the past, why can it not happen today?

An easy answer would be to say that with all the scientific equipment that we have around the world and in space, if there was something to happen, something to hit us we would see it coming days, weeks, months if not year in advance.

How arrogant and presumptuous!

What is worrying me is not what we know; it is what we do not know. Three thousand years ago, Egyptians were performing knee surgery, they were building pyramids and temples with unsurpassed, almost surgical, engineering and mathematical precision; two thousand years ago, Romans were building aqueducts, roads, amphitheaters…  What about the Babylonians and the days before?

What did they know that we do not know?

For most of them, most of these lost civilizations; they disappeared because of human wicked behavior and for most of them, they predicted that this was to happen again to the future for future generations and it did happen and, it will happen again.

Over the centuries, because of natural disasters and cataclysms, because of wars or human nature, we lost a lot of information and knowledge and a lot of the remaining information has often been locked or hidden in obscure vaults of the rich and powerful or a select few and even today, we are still wondering how they could have done it. Some would even pretend that aliens assisted them.

Today, to pretend that humanity is not going to be hit by a global disaster is foolishness. Today, because of our communication networks, because of the way we communicate and interact with everyone and every nation of the world, everything that we do on a local basis has an immediate impact or consequences on the rest of the planet. Changes that were taking days, weeks, months and year to happen now happen instantly. Everything that we do anywhere on the planet take global proportions.

Even though we know that are not going to be hit by a giant meteor tomorrow morning, even though we know that we are not going to be hit by a disastrous solar kill shot in the days to come, there is absolutely no guarantee that we are not going to be hit by a major volcanic eruption somewhere, by major earthquakes, by the inevitable tsunamis to follow, by major hurricanes or tornadoes or any other major surprise that mother nature may have in store for us. What about these possible men made events and disasters that can cause an entire population or civilization to vanish or disappear? Look at the Mayas, the Holocaust, and The North American natives, Syrians …

Whatever the predictions and the situation may be, we are living in times and days indicating that major events are to happen that will directly impact the life of many if not everyone on the planet. The signs are there and the date is June 2013.
