From Hong Kong to Russia and the U.S. and beyond...PEACE BE WITH YOU...

Big brother Does it again...

Just to prepare a crackdown on the peaceful protests... Big Brother organizes counter demonstrations and initiates scuffles with the pro-democracy students and demonstrators...

Is a crackdown in the offing...? 

Will Big Brother in Beijing attack Hong Kong as they did Tiananmen pro-democracy movement...

One man...halts the progress of the tanks...albeit for few short minutes...on Tiananmen Square...Pro-Democracy Movement in 1989...25 years ago...

Big Brother initiates groups to scuffle with the students...Is this the prelude for an attack...?

Why the capitals in Western and eastern Europe and North America silent...?

People in Hong Kong yearn for democracy...But the Big Brothers in the West and East...are busy with their don quixotic dreams... and avarice...coveting and yearning with lust the possessions of their neigbours and friends alike...

Warnings...

The three main protest groups issued a statement blaming the authorities for the violence.

"If the government does not immediately prevent the organised attacks on supporters of the Occupy movement, the students will call off dialogue on political reform with the government," it said.

Students and pro-democracy supporters...

Human progress...throughout history...has been achieved with sacrifices...

Protesters have been on the streets in large numbers

Police have thrown cordon around government buildings and now Big Brother supporters...are initiating scuffles with the students...

Founder of the student pro-democracy group... Scholarism... Joshua  Wong ....

"You have to see every battle as possibly the final battle — only then will you have the determination to fight."Joshua Wong, student leader

Joshua Wong-Just 17....

"Five years ago, it was inconceivable that Hong Kong students would care about politics at all," he says. "But there was an awakening when the national education issue happened. We all started to care about politics."

Asked what he considers to be the biggest threats to the city, he rattles them off: From declining press freedom as news outlets change their reporting to reflect a pro-Beijing slant, to "nepotism" as Beijing-friendly politicians win top posts, the 17-year-old student says Hong Kong is quickly becoming "no different than any other Chinese city under central administration."

That's why Wong has set his eyes on achieving universal suffrage. His group, which now has around 300 student members, has become one of the city's most vocal voices for democracy. And the kids are being taken seriously.

In June, Scholarism drafted a plan to reform Hong Kong's election system, which won the support of nearly one-third of voters in an unofficial citywide referendum.

The Preoccupation and Obsession of the Western Big Brothers-Sisters...That is, Greed without borders...

Clinton with Pussy Riot"s...

I wanted to mention this for a long long time... and not because of Clinton... I support her push for the White House... because she is FEMALE..., but I do not support her social and economic vision of society...

Clinton poses with Pussy Riots...Just for votes...Just for GREED...

Why they will support "Pussy Riot"...?

Will they support a punk group...if they go into a church in the U.S. and initiate their rant against the government...?

I do not support the Putin oligarchy... and the Russian Big Brothers...But I will not support stunts to attract attention from a punk group...invading a Christian Church...

Will anyone of the Big brothers-Sisters support a punk group if they desecrate a Muslim...or a Hindu... or Buddhist...or Sikh...or Jewish religious shrine...

Why support...a punk group...if the desecration is in a Christian Church....? 

Why will anyone lend support to these punks...? 

They do not even have a political message....Just they are against Putin...and Putin is an individual...ONLY...

The Russian oligarchy...is much more than Putin...and these punks have no idea about it...

Those  Big Brothers-Sisters who support these punks and their stunts...are 

ONLY

Against Putin and his policies...They are not for Democracy and they are not against the Russian Oligarchy ...

This punk group has all the right to sing and rant whatever they want... These punks are against Putin...that's good...But let them extend their message for democracy and against the oligarchy...in Russia...Like the Hong Kong students are doing...

The Pussy punks have no right to go into this church and start ranting... if they do that in anywhere else...in U.S. and Westerns capitals...they will be arrested too...
So why Clinton and Big Brothers will condone the sacreligous rants in Russian churches...?

The punks and their rants do not belong in the churches...

Let the punks go to the streets and not into the churches...

Not supporting Putin and his oligarchs is okay...

Not condemning the punks for invading churches just for stunt and attention is NOT OKAY...

And SPORTS and VIOLENCE...
We must change out culture of violence... Violent sports have to be banned from schools and universities...
Educational shrines must promote human values and violence is not part of it...

Third high school football player dies in a week

 A varsity football player from suburban New York high school died after colliding with an opponent during a game, a school official said.

Tom Cutinella, a 16-year-old student at Shoreham-Wading River High School, suffered a serious head injury during Wednesday night's game against Elwood-John H. Glenn High School, according to Suffolk County Police spokeswoman Joan Jesinger.

Cutinella was transported to Long Island's Huntington Hospital, where he died later, Jesinger said.

He was the third high school football player to die in the last week, according to published reports.

Jesinger said police were investigating Cutinella's death.

"It was the result of a typical football play," Superintendent Steven Cohen told reporters Thursday. "It was just a freak accident."

Ban violent sports from schools and universities... Teach the kids to engage in peaceful debates and dialogues...
Violence under the guise of sports or anything else promotes violence in society...and supports aggression and wars...
Act for PEACE and ban violence...in any shape or form...
Halt human GREED and educate the kids to cooperate and LOVE...

Enjoy the weekend...in peace and tranquility... and think...and reflect... and imagine a Global Village of harmony...

Autumn at Credit River...right around the corner where I used to teach...

Autumn and the Maples along Erin Mills.... it was nice to negotiate the roads from day school to night school...through the woods...

Defiant and Courageous...
Students are defying the Big Brothers in Beijing... in rain or shine...

The students in Hong Kong and the people supporting them... stand on guard for their democratic rights and demand full democracy...

The lighting is transmitting energy from the skies above and empowering the students and Hong Kong residents to challenge the Big brother and the "communist" hierarchy ....

Indeed students and citizens love Hong Kong and want to establish full democracy...
What is ironic is that... the residents of Hong Kong appreciate and yearn for democratic rights... But the West and the U.S. are silent about it... The leaders of the West have said nothing in support of the students and democratic rights of the Hong Kong citizens...

A bus plastered with supporting messages...

But...

Big Brothers of the world are supportive to each other and silent about the democratic movement in Hong Kong....

The police...defending Big Brother...and not the people...

But we say...

POWER TO THE PEOPLE...

Hong Kongers mark China's National Day in the square that they have renamed...Democracy Square...

Get inspired by the flicker of the masses... get inspired by the power of the students and the people...

In every city and in every school and university... establish a democracy square... and come out and discuss everything that is bothering the people... Do not let the big Brothers muzzle your voice and your resolve...

In every school come together and defend the rights of the students and the people of the Global Village...

Get inspired by the masses of Hong Kong...

Make time and read this novel where the courageous writer exposes the Turkish Big Brothers and writes about the massacres of the Armenians and Christian in Turkey...

Read and get inspired by the voice of Elif Shafak...

In her second novel written in English, Elif Shafak confronts her country's violent past in a vivid and colorful tale set in both Turkey and the United States. At its center is the "bastard" of the title, Asya, a nineteen-year-old woman who loves Johnny Cash and the French Existentialists, and the four sisters of the Kazancı family who all live together in an extended household in Istanbul: Zehila, the zestful, headstrong youngest sister who runs a tattoo parlor and is Asya's mother; Banu, who has newly discovered herself as a clairvoyant; Cevriye, a widowed high school teacher; and Feride, a hypochondriac obsessed with impending disaster. Their one estranged brother lives in Arizona with his wife and her Armenian daughter, Armanoush. When Armanoush secretly flies to Istanbul in search of her identity, she finds the Kazancı sisters and becomes fast friends with Asya. A secret is uncovered that links the two families and ties them to the 1915 Armenian deportations and massacres. Full of vigorous, unforgettable female characters, The Bastard of Istanbul is a bold, powerful tale that will confirm Shafak as a rising star of international fiction.

Did you HEAR IT...? 

If you’re tired of granny not getting the punchline, take heart. Perceptions of what’s funny change with age. 

A recent study has found that adults 64 to 84 tend to dislike ....

• Aggressive humor — laughing at the expense of others ....self-deprecating humor. 

Apparently... retirees don’t like The Office or Curb Your Enthusiasm.... Despite the fact that both of provoke howls of young laughter.... 

I guess it takes sixty four years to educate the toddlers to behave like humans...

But never give up and try again... may be you will be lucky sooner...
