Netherlands

 

 


If you wish, look into the last years of Pope John Paul II.  I believe one of the 20th centuries greatest popes, and perhaps the best in 3-4 centuries.  I admit, he, like Queen Elizabeth, was the Pope of my life, as she was the Queen.  I was 10 when he became pope and in my late 20s/ early 30s when he died.  It had an impact on  me, as did the Queens death.  Doesn't matter I didn't know either.

John Paul suffered with an incredibly debilitating disease.  The two assassination attempts left him scared.  He had several cancer treatments and had Parkinsons.  He was also suffering from hearing issues and osteoarthrosis. He was crippled, couldn't walk, had memory issues, and could very well have given up his pontificate in favor of a quiet life for the remaining weeks or months he may have had but he said NO.  Like the Queen, he refused to give up and a promise made, was a promise kept.

Today, it is unlikely we will see such honor and strength of character again.  

 

In the Netherlands, a 17 year old was euthanized because she was diagnosed with Borderline Personality.  A 40 year old mother of two, has chronic depression and doesn't want to live anymore - once her date has been set to die, she will tell her children.   She said - “It’s not that I want to die, it’s that I don’t want to live this life anymore."  

One part of me wants to say - fine, all of you, just drop dead.  Here, take some poison, here take a pill or a shot - faster, everyone, all of you.  Another part of me wants to scream at them.   You selfish, narcissistic fool.  You have been given life, and you choose death.  So many people would choose life - the 3 year old who was stabbed to death by some crazy bitch who attacked the child in a shopping cart.  The police officer killed in the Netherlands trying to save a man who had been attacked, and he was stabbed in the head and died.  He left a wife and child.

But you all want to die because ... it is your right to be a selfish prick.  I think so little of your culture of death that letting you all fall to the Russians might be one option - they wouldn't allow it. They would  keep you too busy to be so selfish and self-absorbed.  

Life is a gift and you are too selfish to see that.  You will, in the moments after you stop breathing, you will wish for the chance to live.  


Too late.

The Lie

  The adage that if you tell a lie enough times, you believe it - never could I imagine it worked for the entirety of media, but it has.   Shame on you all. Biden when asked why he ran in 2020, stated (I am paraphrasing but the quote exists and you can find it) - I ran because of what Trump said about Charlottesville and KKK members being fine folks. CNN told that story, CBS retold it, NBC told it.  MSNBC told it.  ABC told it.  New York Times told it.  And it was a lie.  Lie.  Lie.  Do you understand the difference between braggadocio and lie, between self-inflating ones ego and a lie, between causing and creating harm to ones character and misleading people.  A lie is not what Trump told.  Trump tends to exaggerate... greatly.  The media lied to the American people and the world about Trumps comments concerning Charlottesville.   When Biden and many other political elite retold the lie, the media did not call t...

Spain in the Whirly Pool with Greece, which one gets sucked under first

Spain downgraded, Europe debt crisis widens Juergen Baetz, Associated Press Writer Wednesday April 28, 2010, 12:39 pm EDT BERLIN (AP) -- Europe's debt crisis mushroomed Wednesday as Spain saw its credit rating lowered, just as Germany sought to reassure nervous investors that Greece would not be allowed to go under, saying Berlin's share of a key aid package could be approved in the next few days. Stock and bond markets had begun to regain their composure after stinging downgrades of Greece and Portugal the day before, when Standard & Poors delivered more bad news by cutting Spain's rating to AA from AA+ amid concerns about the country's growth prospects following the collapse of a construction bubble. "We now believe that the Spanish economy's shift away from credit-fuelled economic growth is likely to result in a more protracted period of sluggish activity than we previously assumed," Standard & Poor's credit analyst Marko Mrsnik said.

No time to stop and read the details! Just smokin'

      The following from Slate.com, Jacob Grier Feb 13, 2017.   A decade later, comprehensive smoking bans have proliferated globally. And now that the evidence has had time to accumulate, it’s also become clear that the extravagant promises made by anti-smoking groups—that implementing bans would bring about extraordinary improvements in cardiac health—never materialized. Newer, better studies with much larger sample sizes have found little to no correlation between smoking bans and short-term incidence of heart attacks, and certainly nothing remotely close to the 60 percent reduction that was claimed in Helena. The updated science debunks the alarmist fantasies that were used to sell smoking bans to the public, allowing for a more sober analysis suggesting that current restrictions on smoking are extreme from a risk-reduction standpoint.
