Did God Promise A Rose Garden...? An Eden... for The 1%... Maybe...

This is Victory... Let's Celebrate in the Ruins... of Raqqa... The capital has fallen... But grievances and oppression are rife in the Middle East... 
Iran is a theocracy...
Saudi Arabia is a despotic kingdom... So Jordan and the oil patch of the Emirates...
Libya is a fractured infestation of terror groups...
Iraq is a sectarian nightmare... Shia Arabs attacking Kurds... Once Saddam used chemical weapons against the Kurds... and now the Shia Arabs are attempting to stifle the aspirations of the Kurds...
Turkey is a fascistic one man rule... Check the irony... Recently a Turkish nationalist was sentenced to 20 years for assassinating an Armenian reporter/publisher and then a Turkish journalist was sentenced to 28 years for writing about the assassination... 20 for the killer and 28 for the reporter... because the fascist regime did not like what he wrote... Turkey is a long standing infested sore on European civilization and culture... They were the "sick man of Europe..." before and now they are the Islamic fascists of the continent...
The Middle Easters have many grievances... and bombing ISIS out of Raqqa will not much change anything...

What is there to celebrate...? The ruins are the witnesses of brutality and savagery... and the streets of Raqqa will never be the same... Celebrate what... The brutality of Assad regime or the fascists Islamists who have liberated Raqqa... along with the Kurds... and as it is happening in Iraq... the kutds will be squeezed out in Syria too... In Iraq its the Shia Arabs and in Syria it will be the fascists Islamists...
Indeed, what's there to celebrate...? Check the photo above...!

What Did You Expect... A Rose Garden...?

Global Culture... is a pretext... and an outlet for

money laundering by the rich... the 1%... and 

that has no borders... Russian oligarchs launder  
money through their western pals in Europe 

and North America... Europeans and North 

Americans launder via their off-shore accounts 

and their construction businesses and through 

the banks and also art and culture...  

 A cigar once smoked by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill has sold  for $12,000 (£9,000), according to the Boston-based RR Auction house.

Churchill partially smoked the 4in (10cm) cigar at the Le Bourget Airport in Paris on 11 May 1947...

So what... Churchill had sucked on the cigar and some idiot with bags of money... bought the butt from an auction for $12 000 ... 

The 1% has lots of money to waste... but people in Porto Rico are drinking poisoned and contaminated water...

The values of the 1% stink and the cultural fart that it radiates stinks more...

*********************************************************

Indeed,

The rich do get richer... and the 1% Without Borders can not halt their greedy plunder of the world...

American economy began to fall behind and stagnate... with the rise of China and India... and reinvigorated Russia... Globalization of the world economy deprived the US of its supremacy... So the US voted for people who will tear down the Paris Accord... on climate… and rape the environment by repealing the existing regulations... They say their will be more mining of coal... more pollution in the rivers and lakes... more poisoning of waters and towns and cities...  All these to compensate the profit margin of the 1%...

 A Cap Ferrat in French Riviera region of South France... mansion that was once home to Belgian King Leopold II has gone on the market for 350 million euros ($410 million) -- 
making it the most expensive home for sale in the world... 
They have much to waste on butts and royal left overs... 
But the world is in a convulsion... Read the heart wrenching item in the box...
The 1% will spend $410 million on a shelter... while there are so many homeless in the streets of America and Europe... People without shelter...
The 1% will spend $12 000 on a cigar butt... and $410 million on shelter... meanwhile the people in Porto Rico drink contaminated water... and people in Myanmar are subjected to GENOCIDE...

COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh — Hundreds of women stood in the river, held at gunpoint, ordered not to move. A pack of soldiers stepped toward a petite young woman with light brown eyes and delicate cheekbones. Her name was Rajuma, and she was standing chest-high in the water, clutching her baby son, while her village in Myanmar burned down behind her... “You,” the soldiers said, pointing at her. She froze. “You!” She squeezed her baby tighter. In the next violent blur of moments, the soldiers clubbed Rajuma in the face, tore her screaming child out of her arms and hurled him into a fire. She was then dragged into a house and gang-raped. By the time the day was over, she was running through a field naked and covered in blood.  Alone, she had lost her son, her mother, her two sisters and her younger brother, all wiped out in front of her eyes, she says.

Can You Imagine a World WITHOUT WARS... BE BOLD...

Nobel Peace Prize awarded to anti-nuclear weapons campaigners

This is good news... But banning ALL weapons should be the 

target and the policy of any credible organization...

Also,

We should destroy the existing stockpiles of all weapons... 

nuclear and otherwise... the so called conventional ones...

All the devastation that's occurring at present are the result of 

conventional weapons... and it is the old jungle rule... where the  
powerful dictate their will (hegemony) on others... Be it the U.S.   
or the U.K. or Russia and or China... Their greed is like the 

renewable... inexhaustible energy which instigates and also 

perpetuates all the world disputes...  

The 2017 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said ICAN was receiving the award for its "work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons." Nobel committee president Berit Reiss-Andersen praised the work of ICAN at a time when tensions remain high over North Korea's nuclear weapons testing and as the Iran Nuclear Deal has been called into question by US President Donald Trump...

... and who is ICAN

a coalition group supported by hundreds of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in over 100 countries across the world formed in 2007, inspired by a similar campaign to ban the use of landmines worldwide supporters include actor Michael Sheen, artist Ai Weiwei and former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

The US is on the verge of abandoning the leadership and the hegemony of the "Western Democracies..." and China is rising into hegemonic leadership by the day... 
While the US and North Korea are tossing insults and an immature bullying game... China is taking the leadership of the world economic future... China is investing in renewable energy and building of solar panels... soon China will be the top manufacturer of solar panels... also China is starting to invest in electric cars... 
The US has the potential, but China has the will to manufacture and lead... And history has demonstrated that whoever has the economic hegemony will have the political leadership too...
It is unfortunate that the US is abdicating its moral high ground... There was yet another demonstration in Charlottesville... 

       Officials in Virginia denounced white supremacist Richard Spencer and dozens            of his racist supporters who held another rally holding tiki torches in                              Charlottesville on Saturday night... Yesterday...

The white supremacist racist fascists... in Charlottesville yesterday... These people have lost all human dignity and also have lost the future too... They accuse the immigrants for everything and anything which is wrong with them... But they are unemployed because they are lazy and the immigrants are hard working... They are at the bottom of the economic-social ladder because they are not educated and refuse to be educated while the immigrants attend college and university... The immigrants are hard working and better educated... and the white racist want everything as an entitlement emanating from their white-racist-slave owner- natives slaughtering past...

I guess someone has to pee on their pie... and their racist fascist entitlement...

In the US if you work hard you may have a chance... Not when you hold a torch lit racist march... The white racists should get over it... After all the future belongs to those who work well... and that's the immigrants... not the lazy and uneducated white thugs... 

**********************************************************************

Indeed it is unfortunate that the US leadership is threatening the world with another nuclear holocaust... Bullying will bring forth more resentment... North Korea has tested recently yet another missile and yesterday they tested yet another nuclear bomb... 

The US is threatening force... and in this case force means nuclear war... Is the world ready for it... This is exactly why the Nobel Committee should not play politics with the PEACE prize... It may blow in their face... as it did with the Rohingya massacres in Myanmar... The Nobel Peace Prize laureate... Aung San Suu Kyi has neglected all the pleas for peace... and has not halted the massacres of Innocent people...
Giving the Peace prize to anti-nuclear groups is a farce when the nine nuclear powers, specially Russia and the US have not even noticed the group... ICAN is a voice in the wilderness... an inconsequential cry and the Nobel Peace Committee knows that full well...
The greed of the nuclear powers cannot be harnessed by appeasement! ICAN should ask for a weapons free world... Not only to get rid of the nuclear threat but also free the world for the "conventional" arms and "conventional" wars...   




  

When You manufacture Guns... People will use them...

Just build it... they will come...  That's the sad 

reality...

"If you build it, they will come..." It is an adaptation from a quote in the book... Field of Dreams by  W.P. Kinsella... The book was a required reading in my Modern American Literature course... It was easy to read and indeed dream like fable...
... And indeed when you built something, it will generate its own induced demand... 
Pharmaceuticals generate a new drug and then they advertise like crazy to induce demand for it...
Personal background research, most of the time useless... is being induced by a web site... Ancestry.com... They advertise like crazy so as to induce demand for their service site...
Tobacco companies advertise to hook you on cigarettes... you pay money in order to be addicted to cancer causing substance...
I am certain you may think of other examples too... Indeed, you build it and they will swarm...

... and when you built guns, people will use them...

The lead character hears a voice when walking through his corn field which says "If you build it, he will come". Later he sees a vision of a baseball field. He builds the field and indeedShoeless Joe Jackson, a long dead professional baseball player, turns up and asks to play catch...

It is the same with guns... If you manufacture it, someone will use it... That's the sad truth in the Las Vegas shootings... Gun violence is an epidemic... The 2nd amendment should not be an unbridled license to kill... and "thoughts and prayers are not enough..." 

There must be rules and regulations to check guns and control gun violence... Weapons and guns are essentially manufactured to kill... Maybe they should not be manufactured to start with...

Hunting... killing animals...

Wars........ Killing humans...

Wars are essentially "break and enter" on a larger scale... a B and E... committed by governments, the executives of the 1%... Wars are to steal another nations property... resources... by force... and to kill and subjugate people... by force...

Maybe manufacturing weapons should be banned altogether... Maybe the resources wasted on manufacturing weapons and guns and all the rest of sophisticated killing machines... should be banned...                                                                                         Maybe the resources wasted on weapons and killing should be allocated to feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless...

Maybe... and then the world will be a more civilized place to live in freedom and pursue happiness...

Maybe... and maybe you can help... 

The military is a waste of resources... when it is used for wars... in the Middle East... in Afghanistan... in Iraq... 

Sandy Hook Massacre of kids... 

Just remembering and praying for the victims is not enough... in Sandy Hook the victims were just kids...

But, as mentioned above..., when weapons are manufactured they will be used... The military in wars and "lone wolves..." in spaces like Las Vegas on Oct. 1, 2017... Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016... Blacksburg, Virginia at Virginia Tech. on April 16, 2007... and Sandy Hook Elementary School...(2012) and San Bernardino and Fort Hood... all in the 2000's...

People carry a person at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival after shots were fired (David Becker/Getty) in Las Vegas...

When guns are manufactured... people will use them... When weapons are manufactured the outcome will be wars... that's the paradox of "build and they will come..."

People scramble for shelter at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival after gun fire was heard (David Becker/Getty) in Las Vegas...

I am for peaceful coexistence of humans... of peoples...

Maybe the military should be used to provide relief from natural disasters... like they are doing in Porto Rico... and not create human disasters like in the Middle East and Iraq and Afghanistan...  
 
Soldiers HELPING in Porto Rico...                                       STOP THE WARS and HELP PEOPLE...

The soldiers maybe our "first responders..." in disasters... and helicopters maybe used for helping people... like in Porto Rico...

An starving nation like North Korea... should not be forced to manufacture weaponry and bombs... They should not be forced and coerced to resort to violence in order to defend their right to survive...

Guns are evil... weapons and bombs are inhumane...

Maybe they should be banned...

**************************************************

I have great respect for generals as human beings... not on the battlefield but rather in their duties as human beings...

Recently some people (soldiers) intimidated black soldiers in the army... with racial stupidity... and the response of their general was excellent... He convened all the soldiers and had a chat with them... 

Maybe more generals should speak of their humanity and maybe more soldiers will be rehumanised... Instead of abandoning themselves to their raw animal instincts... 

Maybe soldiers should learn to help... instead of to kill...

Read the box below...

Nowhere was that made clearer than in the recent video of Air Force Academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria speaking to cadets after racist slurs were posted on message boards of five black cadet candidates at the Air Force Academy Preparatory School: "If you can't treat someone with dignity and respect, then you need to get out. If you can't treat someone from another gender, whether that's a man or a woman, with dignity and respect, then you need to get out. If you demean someone in any way, then you need to get out. And if you can't treat someone from another race or a different color skin with dignity and respect, then you need to get out," the visibly furious general told his troops...

The general should be honoured for his bold and humane action... It is funny that to be human requires courage and indeed boldness...

Absurdity Without Borders...

While the world is in turmoil... devastated Porto Rico... more than 50 massacred in Las Vegas... Spain-Catalan (Barcelona) in quarrel... Brexit- U.K. and EU are still not sure how to settle their dispute... The Middle East wars still kill people... Mayanmar-Rohingya massacres still continue... The Kurdish people aspire to nationhood denied to them for decades... 

This 900-year-old Chinese bowl just sold for $38 million... Just Blasphemous...!

When people are in need... when people are starving... to waste $38 million on a bowl... is not human... and defies logic... It is indeed incomprehensible...!

They say capital has no conscience... and no soul... The global 1% feeds on its greed... ignoring all humanity... the 99%... 

The purchase of the 900-year-old bowl, which was fashioned during the Song dynasty, sets a new auction record for Chinese porcelain, auction house Sotheby's said... An anonymous buyer placed the winning bid of 294 million Hong Kong dollars ($38 million), clinching the piece after a 20-minute bidding war in Hong Kong.

******************************

We were at a friend's patio on a cool evening sipping the drinks and talking about social-cultural issues... The music was nice too... Mozart-Vivaldi-Rachmaninoff... I love the classics and I have reserved Sunday mornings for Gregorian Chants and liturgical music...

The evening was enchanting... but then a friend brought up the opioid crisis plaguing the U.S. But he had more than just venting against the pharmaceuticals and the drug industry... He had a more nuanced perspective...

No one can abstain from politics... Everything that we do and not do is political... We cannot escape this fact... Either we act and change things for the better, or inact and uphold the status quo of the 1%... Inaction is just supporting the status quo of the present 1%...

If we abstain and stay quiet... stay silent... turn our head the other way... then those actions will support the status quo and the status quo is just upholding the racism which still pollutes our society... and condone the greed of the 1%... 

In fact, inaction will just say okay to the Chinese Bowl for $38 million...

NFL stars continue protests and remain defiant

More than 50 football players rejected the threats and seized the moment to express their right for free speech and freedom of thought... The 1% with their executive branch, the government, should not have the right to limit the people's right for free speech and should not have the right to intimidate people to silence...

New Orleans Saints players and team kneel prior to the NFL match against Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium in London, England...

**********************************************************************
On Saturday night - Sept. 30, 2017, the Oakland Athletics' Bruce Maxwell became the first Major League Baseball player to kneel in protest during the anthem.

His father is in the military and he was born on an army base, US media report. He told a reporter that he was "kneeling for people that don't have a voice"...

Athlets have the right to manifest their concerns in anyway they can... and we must not judge the athletes...  
If we want to put an end to the "kneelings...," then we can simply put an end to the racist laws and racist behaviour of all... 
If the police do not kill blacks... then there will be no need for "Black Lives Matter..."

Athletes are not gladiators just there for our entertainment...

 

Athletes are not gladiators... without any rights... They are human beings like anyone else... and they have the right to speak and critique to racism within our social norms...

A friend reminded me...
He said... "In the 1980's when the crack-cock epidemic was consuming society... the U.S. government introduced new laws to arrest and imprison people ("offenders")... "Three strike and out..." became fashionable... But now there is an opioid  epidemic and a new crisis... but everyone talks about how to help the addicts to recover..." 
My friend told me; "Crack was essentially a black epidemic... while the opioid is overwhelmingly white...!"
Indeed... Racism manifests itself in curious ways...
********************************************
They say it is the "hurricane season..." 
First it was Hurricane Harvey... devastating Texas... The government, the executive branch of the 1%, acted... 
Then it was Hurricane Irma... devastating Florida... and the government acted again...
But then came Hurricane Maria... and the government began to fumble... "They want us to do everything for them..." the government said... 
"We are dying...," said the mayor of San Juan in Porto Rico... and she was blamed for criticizing the government... just like the athletes are blamed for the racism in society and the police killings...
The hurricane season exposed part of our racism too...

 San Juan after the hurricane... 

Whether in Texas or in Florida or in Purto Rico... people are people...
And like in The Merchant of Venice...
Hath not a [Porto Rican] hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a [white] Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?

Some buy antique pots... some live in golden cages... and the people suffer...

Freedoms Cannot be Compromised... Freedom of Speech and Assembly for ALL...

Freedom of Speech and Thought... Freedom for Assembly...

For ALL

 SPEAK OUT!  ALL FORMS OF EXPRESSION ARE GOOD WAYS TO COMMUNICATE...

***

Fake News is another pretext to curb Freedom of Speech... and the shackle people in outdated nation state boundaries... The less people move the better they can be controlled... The less people learn from each other the more they aspire to freedoms and liberty and Demand to pursue happiness in an atmosphere where oppression of all form is banned... 

Freedom of Speech is essential and too important to compromise... The 1% definitely wants to curb people's rights to free speech and free movement... so as they can better control them... 

There opposition to the global refugee crisis is apparent... but they do not have a means to halt the movement... as yet.
The global refugee crisis is just another facet of oppression and control of the people by the globalized 1%... The policies of the 1% have created the crisis... but their governments, the executive branch of the 1%, are the ones opposing the globalized homelessness... and at times violently...

We rather live with "fake news" attacks than give up our freedoms of speech and movement... The Big Brotherly 1% has never been trustworthy in their promises... They lie and cheat and murder and oppress and exploit... They look for cheaper labour and still cheaper resources... to produce good- weapons of destruction and provide services... and in the chase for cheaper labour and cheaper resources they instigate wars and kill thousands and millions... they initiate GENOCIDES...

That has been the story of "progress" throughout the ages... all along History... The oppression has just taken new forms... New inventions have provided new tools and techniques of oppression... That's all...

Check the anecdotes below... all are recent and fresh... All in ONE week...

1. Alexey Navalni is arrested in Moscow... in order to deny him FREEDOM OF SPEECH... and FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY...

Alexey Navalni, famous Russian oppositionist, leader of anti-corruption movement, was arrested in Moscow yesterday... The local police have confirmed the information. According to BBC Russia,  Navalny was arrested for calling for unauthorized rallies. He was arrested at the entrance to his apartment in Moscow and was taken to the Danilovski Police Department. Alexey Navalni, the Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin’s critic, was going to participate in a rally today, in Nijniy Novgorod... and the rally was authorized and lawful... Navlani, who is currently in a police station, has commented on his arrest on Twitter...  “This is a new phase, of course. Now I am arrested for taking part in an authorized rally...”  Navalni  stated that the reason for his arrest is not clear and he has not been told yet the reason for his arrest... and he added to reporters that “I have never called for taking part in an unauthorized rally.”

Russia has never had freedom of speech... Neither the Czars nor the Bolshevik-Soviets or the Putin oligarchs... have respected the people and allowed their freedom of speech and freedom of movement...
We were in the Soviet Union in 1969 and called a taxi to take us to a city 60 km away... the taxi was stopped in midway and the police checked our papers, all of us were fro Europe and the U.S., but they turned us back... apparently the taxi was not permitted to travel outside the city... the tourists at the time of the Soviets were controlled by state run tourist agencies... They wanted to control the movement of the people... 
Nothing has changed... The 1% still wants to control the free movement of the people and wants to control the freedom of assembly and stifle free speech... 
The Czars... the Soviets... and the Putin Oligarchs are the continuation of the same oppression of the people... The oppression of the 1%...

2. The Minister-Secretary Resigns...

And...

It was revealed that Price also took US military aircraft on two trips abroad, bringing the total cost of his non-commercial travel to more than $1 million. The military flights were approved by the White House...

Politico (Politico is an American political journalism company based in Arlington County, Virginia, that covers politics and policy in the United States and internationally. Wikipedia) revealed the information through its investigative journalism...

Of course the 1% does not want us, the people to know their abuses of the system... They came to power by advocating to "drain the swamp" in Washington D.C., but they created another level of the swamp... 

In Dante's Inferno... hell has nine concentric circles of torment located within the Earth... It is the domain of those "who have rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fruad or malice against their fellowmen..."

I think these newcomers to the U.S. government are adding yet another form and layer to the swamp... they are adding another circle to the nine concentric circles of Hades...
...and,
Do not expect them to be ashamed of themselves...They are what they are... a greedier bunch from the 1%...

Politico exposed them... So without freedom of speech and expression these would have been concealed in the 10th concentric circle of Hades...

Joanne Kenen, Politico's exec editor for health coverage, has tweeted: "Someone just said 'your reporters brought price down.' I said no -- Tom Price's poor judgment and costly travel brought him down..."

Politico and the rest of the media should be allowed to investigate and write and express their findings and opinions freely without any interference from the BIG BROTHER 1% GOVERNMENT...

Smart and educated people can sort out the "fake news" from the reality and fact based news... People van sort things out and we do not need the patronage of the Big Brother... After all, the interests of the 1% never coincide with the interests of the rest of us... the people...
Governments... Russian and American and Turkish and Azeri and Iranian and Israeli and European and Chinese... must stay away from censorship... and let the free press flourish and the establishment media should make room for the fringe and smaller groups... 
Everyone should be able to express themselves and everyone must have freedom to express... Big media should not be a porte parole for the 1%... and big media should not be the ally of the 1% ... otherwise they also will be neither free nor  can they advocate freedom of expression...

3.  China Arrests Hong Kong Freedom Activists...

Almost three years to the day after the 2014 Umbrella Movement shut down parts of Hong Kong, thousands once again too to the streets today, Sunday... As the city's government marked the 68th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, protesters wearing black braved stifling heat and pouring rain to call for the release of "political prisoners" jailed last month, including Umbrella leaders Joshua Wong, Nathan Law and Alex Chow. Those arrests marked a turnaround from 2014, when the trio helped bring out hundreds of thousands of people to the streets to call for a more direct form of democracy in the former British colony. While Sunday's march sought to echo the optimistic spirit of those protests, some expressed concern about a lack of direction in the opposition camp amid ongoing government prosecutions and tightening restrictions on political expression.

Arresting the activist will just convert China to another prison house of peoples... They may arrest... They may exile writes... They may sentence people to death... But they will never be able to stifle the aspirations of peoples... to be free and to aspire for freedom of speech...

Stalin massacred millions... Hitler ordered his tanks to crush the people... others bombed their way... created craters of Hiroshima and Nagasaki... but no one was able to prevent and constrain and suffocate the aspirations of the people... to be free and to express themselves in freedom...

 

Three years after the Umbrella Uprising... No one can stifle the aspirations... of the people... 

4. 

President of the Iraqi Kurdistan region Masoud Barzani 

The Kurdish people of the Middle East... divided into Turkey and Iran and Iraq and Syria... have aspired for their nation state for decades... But the colonial powers of Europe through the Sykes-Pico (British-French) agreement after the First World War... partitioned the Middle East and divided the Kurdish people...
All the borders of the Middle east are remnants from the colonial era... and need to be changed... The Kurdish people aspire to their own self government...
The Kurdish fighters helped in Iraq and in Syria to defeat the Islamist Jihadists and they are entitled to their own nation state...
The Iraqi Kurds expressed their aspirations in a referendum... and the will of the people should be respected...
But,

• The U.S. states that Kurdish referendum is "illegitimate..."
• The U.K. joins the U.S. in opposing the Kurds...
• Turkey's Islamic fascist government opposes the free expression of the will of Kurdish people and threatens the Kurds with economic embargos and military action... because more than one third of the Turkish population is of Kurdish origin...
• Hezbolla (The Party of God...),  a Shia Islamic militant group in Lebanon, warns that the Kurdish referendum must be opposed since it represents the initial steps of Middle East partition...
• Iran, the Godfather of Hezbolla, condemns the Kurdish referendum... because of its large kurdish population...

The U.S.-U.K.-Iranian-Turkish convergence in opposing the Kurdish referendum is yet another demonstration of the corrupt will of the GLOBAL 1%... The 1% wants stability in the Middle East... After all, only in stable Middle East the 1% can pursue its greed and profit...

The oppression of the Kurds by Trukish-Iranian-Arab rulers is immaterial... the 1% opposes the free speech and free expression of the will of the Kurdish people so as to increase its profits... 

The insatiable, bottomless pit of the greed of the global 1%... has always clashed with the WILL OF THE PEOPLE and led to oppression and colonialism and massacres and genocides... 

People must be free and live in freedom...

The 1% have no rights to determine the fate of other people...

People have the inalienable right to live in freedom...

So let the Kurdish people govern themselves... free from the yoke of the colonial legacy...

Turkish-Arab-U.K.-U.S. 1% should not dictate their will on the Kurdish people... Freedom to all... and not only to the powerful...

5. 
The Spanish government denies the right of the Catalan to express themselves in a referendum...

From the Franco fascists to the present day 1% of the Spanish people... they have always denied the right of the Catalan people to live the way they want to live...

Las Palmas (a Spanish football team) indicated on Sunday that it opposed the breakup of Spain, saying that its players would appear with the Spanish flag sown onto its jerseys...  And, "FC Barcelona (Catalan football team) condemns the events which have taken place in many parts of Catalonia today in order to prevent its citizens exercising their democratic right to free expression," the club said in a statement.

People help a man injured by a rubber bullet fired by Spanish police officers outside a polling station in Barcelona.

The Spanish government, the executive branch of the Spanish 1%, unleashed the might of the state in order to prevent the referendum in Catalan...

Governments are not elected to brutalize the people and make them abide by the diktats of the 1%...

Let the  Catalans... and the Kurdish people... have their say... and if they decide... let them live in their own nation state...
Let people be free... 
The chant roars, "Let my people go..."
