Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Interesting updates from Porter’s Pensées

Retrospectively, the same search terms from October 19, 2024


Lawrence Wilkerson REVEALS: Iran's Secret Weapon from Russia Crushing Israel & U.S Military Strength


Scott Ritter: REVEALS: Iran's Devastating Retaliation Plan Erase Israel from the Map! West Rocked!


Birds of the same feather : Trump and his friend


How cynical can one man be ?


The answer my friend, is Blowin' in the Wind 


God is not mocked. After bombing Iran's nuclear research centres to his own satisfaction, " totally obliterated " he boasts , in eternal gratitude his friend Netanyahu the war criminal has the gumption to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Pure cynicism

Dr Oohay,


Coming to think of it 

there's the saying,

"marriages are made in heaven"

 

Re- Your Parthian shot, I must say 

that's a very interesting question you raise,

both the "ordinary" and the extra-ordinary, 

Where do thoughts come from ?


Next stage both you and the solipsist,

the big born fool, the little born fool, the wo-

man of extraordinary intelligence start 

doubting your own minds, I mean, start

doubting the veracity of your own minds ,

the truth/s of your own sensory perceptions, 

speak less of the "extra-sensory perception"


All alone, Moshe Rabbeinu and the burning bush,

all that alleged prophetic pre-cognition according to, 

not The Book of Revelations, the very last book 

of the New Testament according to Saint John, 

which according to the Book Review by Professor

Bernard Porter "would not look  out of place in a 

collection of supernatural horror stories",

just as according to Shakespeare's fantasy, 

his fetid imagination, hallucinating, 

premeditated murderer

Macbeth guilty as hell, yells,

"Is this a dagger which I see before me,

The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee."


And what if, historically speaking," the children of Israel" were never in Egypt ,there were no fairy tales, no ten plagues of Egypt , no miraculous parting of the Red Sea / Sea of Reeds,  no thunder and lightning on the mountain ? 


No problem : From 19 Oct 2024, "We begin the study of the Torah with the realisation that the Torah is not a history book, but the charter of Man's mission in the universe. "etc etc etc


If I read you rightly both the subjective and objective verification of be it the truth/s of whoever and whatever, become problematic once you add  " - ism" to them, because the subject then becomes amplified, almost borderless, be it Christ (Christ-ism) Judah ( Judah-ism) Buddha ( Buddha-ism) Marx (Marx-ism) Capital (Capital-ism) Tao (Tao-ism) Tribe (Tribe-ism) Race ( Race-ism), intellectual ( intellectual-ism ) Zion ( Zion-ism)


From the abstract to the concrete:  With so many thoughts pervading/ polluting/ decorating the atmosphere, megalomaniacal MAGA thoughts about visionary Trump's Great American Empire, God's earthly Kingdom / Paradise, "The New Jerusalem" / the New New York on the horizon - next stage of the Brave New World & the Great New American Empire, the annexation and amalgamation of Greenland, Canada, Trump's playboy, playground dreams of transforming the tragedy of Gaza into the New Middle East's Riviera, and maybe when those two heads, Jared Kushner, and the war criminal Netanyahu get together, some more secret heady tête-à-tête to further plot "The New Middle East" they have been dreaming about, namely Eretz Israel HaShlema -


Well, to put those two wannabe empires, the MAGA American Empire (with Trump as Emperor) and Eretz Israel HaShlema with Netanyahu as the first horseman of the Apocalypse, into perspective, feet on the ground, I revisited Bernard Porter's immensely readable book British Imperial. What the Empire Wasn't …and I assure you that even the first 42 pages freely available in that link, should help put those two dreams in perspective…

Perhaps, any secular and non-secular "foundations" have the same ism problem: how can an inside or insider "comprehend" THE whole without ultimately going more or less dogmatic. Apparently, neither eschatology nor teleology has THE answer; as one ancient thinker put it: TIME is the BEST teacher, unfortunately, it kills ALL its students. And by the way, do "originary" thoughts come from us? (or come THROUGH us?
