What's in a name?

Lots!

And that saying...

"Better the devil u know than don't know"

The Russian brown bear.

Quoted
"Russian brown bears arenot inherently aggressivebut are dangerous and can be unpredictable, acting aggressively when feeling threatened, defending cubs, or protecting food."

Medved = Bear


Dmitry Medvedev.

Described as the anti-western hawk and invited to North Korea's 80th anniversary of the ruling party.

The "tandemocracy" in Russia and Medvedev having the ear of Putin.

Global stronger relations between China, North Korea and Russia gives new meaning to a Cold War.

Something to take note of.

Putin the Russian politician.

Medvedev the extremist aggressor, the "court clown" carrying weight and influence?

In relation to this...

Because...I made the mistake once, standing In defence of the advertiser on HER profile page , I received public hate mail from Arcticus and advertisers alike, and thus now, on MY thread shall address assumptions and presumptions made that carry no weight.


I have no idea who therodent is.
Have NEVER EVER reached out to that person in private.
Have no idea if this person actually had an appointment with me even though claims to (not a bad review at all But, I wonder about the credibility)

Even if that person reached out to me, I would NEVER open. Nor care to look at what correspondence might have been sent.

What has transpired between me and therodent is on THIS forum.
PUBLIC and for all to read, who care to read.

I don't care to waste my energy on bullshit and I think many MANY know that very well.

Don't try reach out to me.

This principle has applied from day one on entering this space in 2015 and nothing has changed.

I cannot stand cowardice, double standards and bullying.

And will NEVER negotiate in any form with c#nts like that.


RB.

HUGE ADDENDUM...

I cannot stand gossipers and gossiping.


Discretion.
Privacy....a complete farce among many in the purple world.

Latest time magazine cover.

Donald Trump and his inflated ego.
Doesn't it look like an airballoon ? I mean the angle they captured his profile

I was watching France24 and the anchor commenting on Russian and Syrian latest relations.

I was astounded when she said.."Frances truth about ..."
I wish I could add a link. How contrary to the way things are presented on main media making their broadcast sound like the gospel truth.

And lastly

Ceasefire.

What does that even mean?

Money.

Money honey.

A thriving economy through arms sales.

Warmongering a most profitable business to be in.





RB.

The amount of money spent on producing arms in case of...

As opposed to the amount of money spent on education...


As opposed to the amount of money spent on food security...


How idiotic to imagine that those in seats of power believe in peace and prosperity and promote growth through education and teachings of "love thy neighbour as you love thy self".

Or is it telling of a deep rooted subconcious abhorrence of self , dissatisfaction played on? Stirred? Invoked?

The psychology of war.

The psychology of fear.

The psychology of misinformation.

The psychology behind weak nonexistent education.

The psychology of mass desensitisation.


To quote -

"One death is a tragedy, a million deaths a statistic."

The brutality condoned.

Reminds me of a famous book. The so called good guy kills millions and is deemed to be the good one all should follow; the bad guy kills 10 people upon the instruction of the so called good guy, and is regarded as pure evil, to be feared.

Fear is the veil between humans and the divine.

You mean, J_J playing "god" in the name of the Almighty...no matter the Almighty's name.

Myths and LEGENDS.
God's and half gods....
Icons and worshippers.


One can spin it around any which way one may like.

Books.

RB.

Most of the major 'god' books I've read has 2 common threads ...

1. Love (which I believe is the basis of the original message)

2. Fear (which I believe is the the human corruption of the message, aimed at controlling people and justifying things which are contrary to the original message).

For me,this is my filter, whether it's politics, religion or just one on one engagement with people. If I see and feel the love, I'll engage fully committed. If I see fear and division (non acceptance of all) then I'll approach cautiously.

The vile treatment of mature Sylvia, on this service site, smacks of hypocrisy, especially by a group of "Johnny come latelies".

I do believe the good books are there to possibly be an eye opener. The possibility of, what if, can be , good and bad, bad and good..

It should be an easy thing for us humans,considering we think of ourselves as the most intelligent living species.

If only it were that simple.

I mean bad and good, good and bad and thus choices to be made.
