That time of Year

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace. ~Agnes M. Pharo

To those who took the time to visit this blog, may your cup overflow with blessings.
To those who contributed with their comments, may your path lead to peace.

Genocide
The deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group

‘Ethnic cleansing’ bleaches the atrocities of genocide
Genocide has been the leading cause of preventable violent death in the 20th–21st century, taking even more lives than war. The term ‘ethnic cleansing’ is used as a euphemism for genocide despite it having no legal status. Like ‘Judenrein’ and ‘racial hygiene’ in Nazi medicine, it expropriates pseudo-medical terminology to justify massacre. Use of the term reifies a dehumanized view of the victims as sources of filth and disease, and propagates the reversed social ethics of the perpetrators. Timelines for recent genocides (Bosnia, 1991–1996, 200 000; Kosovo 1998–2000, 10 000–20 000; Rwanda, 1994, 800 000; Darfur 2002–2006, >400 000) show that its use bears no relationship to death tolls or the scale of atrocity. Bystanders’ use of the term ‘ethnic cleansing’ signals the lack of will to stop genocide, resulting in huge increases in deaths, and undermines international legal obligations to acknowledge genocide. The term ‘ethnic cleansing’ corrupts observation, interpretation, ethical judgment and decision-making, thereby undermining the aim of public health. Public health should lead the way in expunging the term ‘ethnic cleansing’ from official use. ‘Ethnic cleansing’ bleaches the atrocities of genocide, leading to inaction in preventing current and future genocides.

Here are some of the atrocities

Bosnia-Herzegovina: 1992-1995 - 200,000 Deaths
Rwanda: 1994 - 800,000 Deaths
Pol Pot in Cambodia: 1975-1979 - 2,000,000 Deaths
Nazi Holocaust: 1938-1945 - 6,000,000 Deaths
Rape of Nanking: 1937-1938 - 300,000 Deaths
Stalin's Forced Famine: 1932-1933 - 7,000,000 Deaths
Armenians in Turkey: 1915-1918 - 1,500,000 Deaths
Bosnia: 1991–1996 - 200 000 Deaths
Kosovo: 1998–2000 - 10 000–20 000 Deaths
Darfur: 2002–2006 - >400 000 Deaths
Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe, 1982-87, Ndebele minority) - 20,000 Deaths
Yakubu Gowon (Biafra, 1967-1970) - 1,000,000 Deaths
Kim Il Sung (North Korea, 1948-94) - 1.6 million (purges and concentration camps)
Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50) - 49-78,000,000 Deaths

Us humans have forgotten our past history and we are repeating all aspects of the dark side.

Selfishness and power is the special order of the day.

Walk Good.

This is Madness

Political scientists will stagger gibbering witless to their graves trying to figure out why the Prime Minister decided to kick off a brand new session of a civil parliament, in the middle of a world economic crisis, by the most lethal partisan jab at the opposition in the history of Confederation.
He's either dumb or arrogant. Those are the only options to explain why he pitched a live grenade into the underwear of the opposition parties last Thursday, within, as it were, five seconds of the new Session starting. Either too dumb to know the furies he was releasing, or too arrogant to care.
A federal government enabled by a separatist party is a contradiction in terms, in logic, and in national honour.
I am aghast and mortified by the recent political squabbling which has taken centre stage in our house of parliament. It seems that the opposition parties have let the cat out of the bag and exposed themselves for what they actually are (a bunch of power hungry self serving indignants who would rather put their personal interest ahead of that of their countries economic stability).
The Bloc Quebecois with their 50 seats in Quebec hold the balance of power which will allow this treasonous party to once again seal the fate of the rest of Canada by undermining the Government elect. This is no mistake! and don’t for a second believe that this is not by design. Our sometimes Canadian friends in the province of Quebec are quite a politically astute bunch.
Ironic isn’t it, that a party who’s (Claimed) single purpose for existence is the removal of Quebec from the Canadian union, is the very party who has the power to decide the fate of the rest of Canada in this ridiculous attempt to undermine the democratic process.

Liars, all *(&^%$# liars.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
