GREED WITHOUT BORDERS...

I got tired of reading and wanted to take a walk...
The fresh air made me happy... The rain had stopped, but the drizzle caressed my face... The cool breeze played with the leaves... The oranges were dangling from branches like lanterns guiding my steps... The lemon trees were enchanting with their blossoms and perfume... The grapefruits were hardly resisting the invitation of the gravity...
But my thoughts were still on my readings... The experiments of swarming drones was irritating me... 
I was stuck in the purgatory of dueling tendencies of war and peace... I was reading that the refugees in Europe are stuck in the winder cold... The snow was making their lives even more miserable... Of course the wars in the Middle East were still raging...
Thou shall not kill... commanded the roar from the skies...
But,
No one listens... 

Global War Machine...
Human history is the history of wars... Human greed is the motivation for the wars...
The past few months the drone technology has advanced spectacularly...
The tests conducted by military show the advance of swarming drones which are launched from fighter planes...
Beautiful technology wasted on developing war machines...
Wonderful advancement... which maybe used for the benefit of the human race... 
But no... human greed wants the new technology to be part of the war machine of the 1% ruling elite...
The US military has launched 103 miniature swarming drones from a fighter jet during a test in California.

Of Course the other countries - Russia, China and the rest, are conducting the same kind of test as their military counterparts in North America...
Looking at the photos of the jets launching the drones brought back other images from other decades...
The Vietnam War still haunts my memory...The devastation of the country and the maiming of the people still fresh...
Globalized greed does not have consciousness... The profit motive dehumanizes the human race...
The million + million + another million + ... ad infinitum... It never stops... It never ends... and the greed for more leads us to wars...
The human history is the witness...

Vietnam in 1967... War is not a game... Killing is not fun... War does not solve anything... After all... "Blood begets blood..."

***

There is so much misery... famine and starvation... the raping of the rivers and lakes and the sea... The endangered wild life... and yet the governments of the 1% all over the world are engaged in spending more and more on war machines...

When will it end...?

Maybe you have an answer... I do not... !!!

Churches and Religion... as political tools...

Bells at Diyarbakır Armenian church to toll after 97 years (1915- 2012)

The church’s bell-tower was demolished in 1915, on the grounds that it was “higher than the minarets in the city.” 

But, the bell-tower of Diyarbakır’s Surp Giragos Armenian Church, a very important church for the Armenian community in the Middle East, is set to return to use after a 97-year interval, with a new bell made in Russia. 
The jubilation and processions were fantastic...
Armenians were returning to their roots... to their ancient homeland and were happy to share their feelings with the kurds who had facilitated all that...
The kurdish mayor had achieved a miracle... 




The church which was built in 1376 is located in the Fatihpaşa neighborhood in Diyarbakır’s Sur district, which is densely populated by Armenians. The title for the land the church is built on used to belong to Armenian community, and it served as a metropolitan until 1915. Regarded by art historians as the biggest church in the Middle East, the Surp Giragos Church covers 3,200 square meters and has a capacity of 3,000 people. Used as a command center for German officers during World War I, the church was then used as an apparel depot by state-owned Sümerbank until 1950.


The Armenians, who arrived in Diyarbakir, Turkey, to attend the reopening of, and first Holy Mass at, the city’s St. Giragos Armenian church, were surprised by the posters placed in Diyarbakir streets.   

Diyarbakir City Hall had placed posters that read “Welcome to Your Home,” in Armenian, together with the image of St. Giragos church. And the sign that reads “Welcome,” in Turkish, Kurdish, Assyrian, and Armenian, can still be seen in the city’s entrances, Armenian News-NEWS.am’s correspondent reported from Van, Turkey.               

Diyarbakir’s Deputy Mayor noted that, according to their information, around 2,000 Armenians have come to their city from different countries.      

But all this good will is halted now...

The Turkish Islamists and their government reoccupied repossessed  the church... The Islamist government of Turkey banished the Armenians again...
The genocide of Armenians continues... by demolishing their heritage and their culture from the land that they had lived on for centuries...
