Definitely asking and reporting "who benefits" and "following the money."<br /><br />Later on I realized that those in power strive to stop the questioning and the reporting.<br /><br />Those with singled minded persistence with the endurance of a prize fighter will be able to speak the truth about the deeds of those in power. <br /><br />As for the Mideast, I would be surprised if there's still conflict in the area after the oil reserves are finally exhausted; but it'll likely get worse before that happens.<br /><br />"So, what's it like to be able order the death of tens of thousands of people just so you can become richer and more powerful?"<br /><br />Abe Forest Dwellernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-2719556467095393772016-09-12T05:02:52.088-04:002016-09-12T05:02:52.088-04:00What is uncertain, the Gautama Buddha advised agai...What is uncertain, the Gautama Buddha advised against speculating. What seems quite certain, of at least as far as I am concerned, is that today is also Hari Raya Haji is many countries with Muslims. What I so far cannot reconcile with, is the simple prospect that try as I might, the best I can do it seems at this juncture is doing zazen whenever I can. My gut feeling is that pretty sooner or later once ISIS is over and done with, it's USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Chile and perhaps likely Germany or Poland as well as South Africa while Russia probably stands alongside China, North Korea, Cuba on the other side of the next major conflict, just naming a few that comes up in the mind. I seriously dislike war, but I do see it forming, and if we are lucky India is helping out the US indirectly being English speaking as well.Lionel Linnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-52206892740918145862016-09-11T12:22:09.239-04:002016-09-11T12:22:09.239-04:00I can't buy into it either.
