  1. itsinmynamechap Who writes the history books? My view of historians is echoed in the actions of the God Emperor Leto of Dune in Frank Herberts novel.

  2. That's what they said about the Berlin Wall, people died trying to cross or damage it until that wonderful moment when everyone just pulled it down. The barriers are imaginary constructions imposed on a society who could do much better without them. It's just a shame on us. The competitors for resources are not sharing the resources, they are corporate multinational companies (who have done away with the barriers for themselves) . This planet has plenty of resources to support everyone and if we lived in harmony with it our population would naturally adjust without any Georgia-Stone type dictatorship deciding to commit genocide by instigated war, instigated plagues, instigated catastrophes

  4. itsinmynamechap(~As you don't know)   Lord Leto burned the unconscious historians on a pyre of their own books. As for borders. If you go right back to the maternal hunter fisher gatherers you will see that there was no war at all in the time when there were no boundaries. Borders are false control mechanisms to keep the wars going, the banks banking and the money rolling and they give us the impression that we are different "races" If you were ever to study the times before history was written as I have you'd recognise that to divide is a very good way to maintain control.

  5. You are wrong, I am qualified in this area of prehistory. When the tribes wandered the planet, they met up for gatherings and they wandered amicably. There was only rivalry over territory when they began farming in the fertile crescent and began to have sedentary male rulers. As wanderers and hunter-gatherer-fishers, the men ranged far from the main group of women, children and elderly, There was a benefit to these main groups to have good relationships and bonding. The males lived outside of these groups and they interacted with other male groups to cooperate in hunting and exchanging information. Stories were exchanged. War began in the time of territorial boundaries, farming, sedentary lifestyles and also the male dominated religions. Until then religion was mainly of the female earth guardian. I read that indigenous Americans have oral histories of times when they used to combat each other for territory by hitting each other with sticks until one side gave in, not killing and murdering each other as the invaders taught them. If the hypothetical removal of boundaries did take place it would be like the interaction of the Global Internet and would require a new skill set in understanding and communication. We are conditioned and it would be hard to break out of this domestication and subjection. Even here, on the Internet, organisations like Google are imposing national and language barriers to open communication that didn't exist online in the early days of sharing. A search engine used to search worldwide not tailor results to the individual by storing and collecting personal information. It would also need the overcoming of the blindness of intolerance to belief systems and the main barrier would be intolerant and violent religion of which there is one main aggressor at this time. Religion is one of the control mechanisms in place to prevent free interaction between us on a global level. The way forward is education and cooperation without losing cultural values. I don't expect anyone to tear down the borders but maybe as we grow in our comprehension of the galaxy we live in, who knows.

  6. itsinmynamechap Well you said it, we are heading towards a breakdown point or we may have already passed it. War disease and power in the hands of unscrupulous criminals. They profit from those things. It isn't because of the numbers of people, the perpetrators are partly responsible for the numbers by creating artificial environments and food sources. Anyway, they need a market. Sit down and write a list of all the control mechanisms that you find in your everyday life over a month or so and then see what happens if you attempt to override them. I mean for instance look at the situation in this video. These people just want to leave an area that is overrun with Western-funded power-crazed and brainwashed fanatics so that they can live. At the bottom of it is probably something mundane like oil. Did you know that areas of land used for growing local food in Africa are being sown with gm corn to make High Grade Engine Fuel! We can make our own electricity for free with a little education in the right areas we don't need the Chernobyls or Fukushimas or whichever is next. I am an idealist I know, but we are many and can educate each other, wake each other up, take back our human rights, live on our own planet.

  7. Gehenna71 I honestly don't know enough to give an informed comment about it.

  8. Gehenna71 The whole tragic thing has been orchestrated deliberately by people who are greedy for power and wealth for themselves. There has been war in that region for so long that nobody there can say who they are. The situation is made worse by interference but now there are so many who need help because nothing was done to stop the wave of fanatical killers. This is how I see it. It's terrible that so many are displaced but you are right, we are already suffering austerity in my country, It's a rich country that refuses to care for it's own and creates hardship deliberately while spending billions on what they want. We are being asked to take refugees into our homes if we have spare rooms, can you believe it? Who would take in a potential killer or a person with psychological trauma as a result of seeing so much carnage?
