The Fall of Narcissism



http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2014/06/03/opinion/optalk-bug/optalk-bug-thumbStandard.jpg
By ANNA NORTH
Is narcissism really an incurable plague sweeping America? Maybe not.
Narcissism is false or meaningless and harmful to self and others and so it is not a subject worthy of attention or study and this is objective and applies to everyone and should you think it is worthy of attention and discussion you are deluded and that is the path to future woe not happiness.
RIGHT ATTENTION IS ONE OF THE FACTORS IN THE BUDDHA’S NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH TO RELEASE FROM DEATH AND SUFFERING AND IT IS WRONG ATTENTION TO PAY ATTENTION AND STUDY THE RISE OR FALL OF NARCISSISM, WHICH IS ABOUT FALSITY AND NOT WORTHY OF ATTENTION EXCEPT THAT YOU ARE DELUDED AND WANT TO SPREAD YOUR DELUSION TO OTHERS.
IT IS AN OPINION NOT TRUTH THAT NARCISSISM IS FALLING BECAUSE IT IS AN AFFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL ORDINARY PEOPLE WITH SELF INDENTITY. I SEE NO EVIDENCE PEOPLE TODAY OR IN THE US ARE ANY LESS NARCISSISTIC AS THEY WERE IN THE PAST AND IT IS UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT EMOTIONAL PEOPLE CAN SHED THEIR PREOCCUPATIONS WITH THEMSELVES.
Whatever is false or harmful only requires recognition and avoidance:
There is much falsity (eg narcissism) and harmfulness (eg killing, injuring) in this world and whatever is falsity and harmfulness only requires recognition or identification as being present in self or others and thenceforth what needs to be done is to eradicate and avoid that entity, you are deluded to focus on and discuss what is false or harmful eg narcissism.
Rolf Harris
ROLF Harris’s brother and manager has denied pressuring a witness in his child sex abuse trial and dismissed a make-up artist’s groping claims as “ridiculous”.
The grope claims are never ridiculous, they are either true or untrue and so you are speaking falsely liable for suffering in repayment.
ANYONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THE ALLEGATION OR THINK IT HAS BASIS IS GULLIBLE, DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. WHY SHOULD THE CLAIM BE SUBJECT OF RIDICULE WHEN IT SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF VERACITY?
There is no true and false politeness and charm, all politeness and charm is conditioned or rehashed from programming never for good purposes but to deceive, to put the person in the good books of those they are polite or charming to.
IF POLITENESS AND CHARM ARE MEANINGFUL EVEN GOOD TO YOU, YOU ARE DELUDED, DO NOT UNDERSTAND TRULY. ALL POLITENESS AND CHARM ARE CULTIVATED, REHASHED FROM PROGRAMMING FOR NEFARIOUS NEVER GOOD PURPOSES.
PUTRAJAYA: Hawkers and small businesses hoping to generate extra income during Ramadhan will be receiving a total of RM45 million in loans with the new Skim Pembiayaan Mikro-i Bazar Ramadhan 2014.
The implication is that the government and by extension the politicians are good giving out loans when this is delusion, it is the opposite, bad to give out loans.
If you (not the government that you run, using other people’s money to lend) have a lot of money and you want to give it away then that is always good, meritorious but if you lend, it is not the next best thing but karma because you encourage others to take risk, go into debt in the name of business expansion which is actually unnecessary.
People should be encouraged to live and run their businesses within their means, it is dangerous to borrow and thus gamble to grow your business faster than it would be.
IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY (NOT OTHERS’ MONEY) AND YOU WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY THEN THAT IS ALWAYS MERITORIOUS.
IF YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BORROW, YOU LEND THEM MONEY TO GROW THEIR BUSINESSES FASTER, THAT IS NOT THE NEXT BEST THING BUT YOU ARE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GO INTO DEBT, TO TAKE RISKS IN THE NAME OF (UNNECESSARILY) GROWING THEIR BUSINESSES FASTER THAN THEY OTHERWISE WOULD.
THUS IF YOU UNDERSTAND WRONGLY AND THINK IT IS GOOD TO LEND MONEY (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS NOT YOUR MONEY THAT IS AT RISK), YOU END UP WITH A LOT OF KARMA NOT THE MERIT YOU THINK YOU ARE DUE.
Give or share but not lend or borrow or steal:
In the divine scheme of it, it is good to give or share but it is evil to lend (which require repayment with interest), borrow or steal.
Lending is not to be confused with sharing, when people speak of lending you their car, it is not lending but sharing their car with you.
GIVING AND SHARING IS THE WAY OF HEAVEN, THOSE WHO ARE NOBLE HAVE FEW WANTS AND THERE IS LITTLE THAT CAN BE GIVEN OR SHARED WITH THEM. LENDING AND BORROWING ARE EVIL AND THE WAY OF THIS WORLD.
Renting is a form of lending:
Renting is a form of lending, hiring out your possession for financial return and so it is evil, does not accord with heaven.
Did a power nap cost Adolf Hitler victory in World War II? Staff were too scared to wake him on D-Day
This is an untenable speculation only the deluded can contemplate.
The course of the Second World War had by the date been fixed, Germany was doomed, with heavy losses in the East and the Russian onslaught drawing closer and closer to Berlin. The United States had the atom bomb by then and Allied bombers was reducing major German cities to rouble and so it was a matter of time before Germany collapsed and the plots to kill Hitler were attempts to get rid of a mad man so that Germany could sue for peace.
IT IS NONSENSE THAT IF HITLER WAS NOT ON SLEEPING PILLS, AWAKE HE COULD MOBILIZE HIS ARMOUR AND REPEL THE NORMANDY INVASION AND THAT WOULD BE THE END OF THE WORLD.
GERMANY’S CAPACITY TO WAGE WAR AT THAT STAGE HAE BEEN SEVERELY CRIPPLED. AMERICA’S INDUSTRIAL MIGHT FREED FROM BOMBING PLUS ITS DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR BOMBS WHILST GERMANY’S INDUSTRIAL MIGHT WAS SEVERELY DESTROYED BY RELENTLESS ALLIED BOMBING MADE THE END RESULT INEVITABLE. GERMANY HAD LOST MANY MILLIONS IRREPLACEABLE SOLDIERS IN ITS FOOLISH CONQUEST OF RUSSIA.
Allied air superiority would prevent Hitler moving his armour:
Hitler wrongly calculated the invasion would be in the nearer Calais area whilst Rommel who was side lined correctly guessed it was at Normandy. The Calais region was heavily fortified and armour divisions were placed near to be mobilized to the invasion area when it came. Rommel argued that allied air superiority would render such mobilization difficult and so the armour should be in place beforehand.
And so it was that just before and during the invasion, allied bombing destroyed communications, road and rail with the intention of preventing reinforcement arriving.
ROMMEL SAID THAT ARMOUR REINFORCEMENT SHOULD BE IN PLACE NOT HELD FURTHER BACK TO COVER A LARGER AREA BECAUSE ALLIED AIR SUPERIORITY WOULD SERIOUSLY HAMPER MOBILITY AND SO EVEN IF HITLER WAS AWAKE AND ORDERED A MOBILIZATION IT MAY BE DESTROYED IN TRANSIT.
NEVERTHELESS GERMANY WAS FIGHTING A LOST CAUSE BY THEN, IT WAS THE DEFIANCE AND MADNESS OF HITLER THAT MADE HIM CONTINUE.
The danger of wishful whimsical thinking:
There is such a thing called wishful, fantastical whimsical thinking and it is the result of conditioning by self and others and so it is a form of programmed or robotic thinking that is dangerous, renders the person gullible, susceptible to deception by others and because he also influences others to be similarly whimsical, wishful it has karma, is blameworthy to be repaid by suffering.
Thus to think that if Hitler had been awake during the onset of the Normandy invasion he could have altered the course of history is wishful whimsical thinking that is not blameless and is dangerous to self and others.
MANY DO NOT REALIZE THEIR THINKING IS NOT RATIONAL, BASED ON TRUE REASON BUT IT IS BASED ON FANTASY, WISHFULNESS AND WHIMSICAL.
Do whatever it takes:
ECB president is living up to his promise to 'do whatever it takes'
You never do whatever it takes to achieve something, it is dangerous and false, it means you will murder, kill or steal or cheat to achieve.
In any matter you must have regard for truth, goodness never do whatever it takes.
THE PERSON WHO WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES IS DEMONSTRATING HIS RUTHLESSNESS AND DISREGARD FOR TRUTH AND GOODNESS, HE IS DANGEROUS AND IF YOU ARE CLUELESS, SEE NOTHING WRONG YOU ARE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND.
Time has no sands and you are cultivating false perception in yourself and others that ends in insanity.
Just because Normandy and D-Day is about beaches does not warrant the false conclusion and perception of the sands of time that is never harmless but has deadly consequences for those who allow themselves to be recruited.
To speak of D-Day and the sands of time must stir emotions and it is the stirred emotions that deluded people find meaningful when it is meaningless and lead to insanity.
Hitler’s only hope of winning World War 2:
Only if Hitler decisively swiftly invaded and conquered/subdued Britain and Russia would he have any hope of winning the war he started, once he failed to do so and the extremely unusually cold Russian winter may have played a major if not decisive part and he was mauled, sustained serious losses at the hands of the Russians, he was doomed.
The world was in the midst of disarmament after the disastrous WW1 and Germany, technologically superior and industrious, gave itself a huge head start so that when it unilaterally without declaring war invaded country after country including the low countries and France, it seemed the German juggernaut was invincible when it was not, unless it subdued UK and USSR, these formidable foes could turn the tide and act as conduits for massive arms, material and human input from an America too distant for Germany to attack with which to finally defeat Germany.
Up to the successful conquest of France, Germany suffered little human losses but after the disaster of the Russian winter siege, Germany’s army suffered significant losses that was harder for it to keep replacing compared with the Russians.
Germany suffered from lack of raw materials especially oil and its industrial bases in Germany were subject to disruption and destruction by increasingly heavy allied bombing whilst America was then rich in resources and its considerable industrial production base was free from German attack.
Whilst Germany did invent some important weapons like rockets, jet powered planes they were insufficient to be of critical advantages and towards the end America had beaten Germany to the development of the atom bomb.
Once human losses both civilian and military begin to mount for Germany, it was a matter of time before the allies decisive advantage would be turned to victory.
BECAUSE OF HIS DELUSION HITLER DID NOT REALIZE HIS WORLD CONQUEST WAS EXTREMELY FOOLHARDY, HIS ONLY HOPE OF SUCCESS WAS A SWIFT SUBDUING OF BRITAIN AND RUSSIA. WHEN THE EXTREMELY COLD RUSSIAN WINTER STYMIED HIS MARCH ON RUSSIA, HE WAS DOOMED, THE TIDE HAD TURNED. GERMANY DESPITE ITS TECHNOLOGICAL, MILITARY ADVANTAGES HAD AN INDUSTRIAL BASE EXPOSED TO ALLIED ATTACK WHILST AMERICA’S FORMIDABLE INDUSTRIAL CASE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO ATTACK. ONCE ITS CASUALTIES MOUNTED IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE GERMANY COLLAPSED.
Geography and nature defeated Hitler:
It was the formidable English Channel that prevented Germany from delivering the decisive blow by defeating England’s reeling, underprepared army. England lost a lot of its weapons abandoned in France and its industrial production required time to be boosted and it was the English Channel that prevented Germany from rolling over England when it was vulnerable.
The Russian winter during Germany’s invasion was said to be extremely cold and early in onset and more than the Russian army, it proved forbidding for the Germans and fatally stalled their onslaught.
Geography that meant America’s industrial might was isolated from German attack whilst Germany’s industrial heart was fully exposed to allied attack played a crucial part in ensuring Germany would finally succumb.
Where would England be without the English Channel?
Its army mauled in France and a lot of its equipment abandoned, the English army retreated to lick its wounds in insular England, without the English Channel Germany would have pursued England and subjugated England before it could reorganize itself with a lot of American help and boost its defence and production.
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL MAY HAVE PLAYED A DECISIVE ROLE IN THE COURSE OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
Hitler caught the world off guard:
Even though the Germans are renowned for their ‘humourless mechanical efficiency and industrial technological prowess, the reason why Hitler was irresistible in the early stages was because a world devastated by the carnage of WW I had no appetite for war and was in a process of disarmament with countries like the US scrapping warships and planes but when Hitler came to power he accelerated the secret and illegal rearmament of Germany so that when war started he had the most powerful and modern army & air force in the world and after the allied armies were mauled they started a hasty rearmament that redressed the initial imbalance.
IT WAS NOT SO MUCH GERMAN (AND JAPANESE) PROWESS THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR EARLIER SUCCESSES BUT THE WORLD WAS CAUGHT UNPREPARED AND ONCE THE REST OF THE WORLD CAUGHT UP PARTICULARLY WITH THE CONTRIBUTION OF AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL AND MILITARY PRODUCTION THAT WAS ENTIRELY UNMOLESTED BY JAPAN AND GERMANY, WHO WOULD WIN IN THE END WAS QUITE INEVITABLE.
Hitler could not hit Russian factories:
When war started, even though Russia had some preparations, they were caught off guard and required emergency material aid from the US mostly through the Arctic convoy of ships but also overland from Iran but soon Russia established its industrial production east of Moscow, out of reach of German bombers and this proved crucial to victory.
IN RUSSIA AND THE USA, GERMANY WAS FIGHTING TWO FUTURE SUPERPOWERS. NOT ONLY THAT, WHILST GERMANY’S FACTORIES AND CITIES WERE AT THE MERCY OF ALLIED BOMBERS BASED IN ENGLAND, GERMANY COULD NOT HIT BACK AT RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN FACTORIES BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF REACH TO ITS AIR FORCE.
AS WAR ENSUED AND CASUALTIES MOUNTED, GERMANY BECAME SHORT OF MANPOWER SUCH THAT EVEN YOUNG BOYS AND OLD MEN WERE CALLED TO ARMS, GERMANY WAS SHORT OF MANY RAW MATERIALS LIKE OIL WHILST RUSSIA AND AMERICA HAD PLENTY AND SO IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT GERMANY FACED DEFEAT AND IT WAS FOOLHARDY OF HITLER (AND JAPAN) TO PICK A FIGHT AGAINST TWO POWERFUL GIANTS. JAPAN WAS EVEN MORE FOOLISH BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO RUSSIA AND AMERICA, EVEN THOUGH CHINA WAS INITIALLY BACKWARD, IT WAS FIGHTING A THIRD GIANT CHINA IN ITS OWN BACKYARD.
JAPAN AND GERMANY’S FIGHT AGAINST THE ALLIES WAS UNTENABLE, UNSUSTAINABLE, BOTH JAPAN AND GERMANY WERE BOMBED TO RUBBLE BY RELENTLESS ALLIED LONG RANGE BOMBERS WHILST THEY DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO RETALIATE AGAINST AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN FACTORIES.
IN ORDER TO WIN THE WAR HE STARTED, HITLER MUST DECISIVELY DEFEAT ENGLAND AND RUSSIA AT THE OUTSET WHILST THEY WERE ON THEIR BACK FOOTS, ONCE ENGLAND AND RUSSIA SURVIVED THE FIRST ONSLAUGHT, GERMANY HAD A NOOSE OF FINAL DEFEAT AROUND ITS NECK.
The Second World War was a battle of industrial production:
The face of war changes and in the second world war, it was essentially a battle of industrial production and so if your enemies can destroy your factories whilst you are hampered by geography as to be unable to inflict tit for tat damage, you are fighting an untenable war.
With the next world war, it may not be so much industrial production but whose nuclear strikes are more lethal.
THE SECOND WORLD WAR WAS ESSENTIALLY A BATTLE BETWEEN ECONOMIES, BETWEEN RIVAL INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND FOR ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, IT WAS SUICIDAL FOR GERMANY AND JAPAN TO ENGAGE IN WARFARE WITH THE US AND RUSSIA BECAUSE THEY CANNOT HIT AT RUSSIAN AND US FACTORIES WHILST THE ALLIED COULD HIT AT WILL GERMAN AND JAPANESE FACTORIES.
Disregard the elements at your own peril:
Not just war but in any situation (eg driving) you disregard the elements (rain, darkness, cold) to your own peril.
Thus when autumn rains came, it bogged down Hitler’s all conquering armies, tanks and trucks became stuck in mires of mud and could barely move and when the exceptionally cold winter set in, engine oil froze, guns jammed, soldiers did not have warm winter clothes and were frost bitten.
In the wintry snowy conditions, Russians mounted on horses in cavalry charges were superior to Germans mounted on tanks or foot going nowhere.
In the Battle of the Bulge the Germans were trying to repeat their previous successful spring armoured charge through the Ardennes but this time it was winter and the tanks could not charge through as they did in spring. When the fog cleared so that the allies could call in air reconnaissance, the tanks became sitting ducks to air strikes.
What he says is nonsense and not the answer and if you do not know what to make of it or you think he may be correct you are gullible.
Whatever the problem or difficulty, the first requirement is to understand truly what the problem and situation is, as it is possible to understand and once you have truly understood the problem you are facing, the answers (if any) are evident and it is a matter of cooperation, for the common good to undertake the action, what has ‘D-Day spirit’ got to do with it?
YOU DO NOT NEED THE D-DAY SPIRIT, WHAT YOU NEED IS TRUE UNDERSTANDING AND GOODWILL TO COLLECTIVELY SET OUT TO SOLVE WHATEVER DIFFICULTIES FACING YOU. IF YOUR UNDERSTANDING IS FALSE, YOU ARE DELUDED THAT YOU CAN NEVERTHELESS FIND AND IMPLEMENT THE RIGHT ANSWERS. GOODWILL IS GOODWILL NOT D-DAY SPIRIT AND WITHOUT GOODWILL YOU CANNOT ARRIVE AT THE COMMON GOOD.
The International Monetary Fund warns the UK government that accelerating house prices and low productivity pose the greatest threat to the UK's economic recovery.
Low productivity is much more difficult if not impossible to resolve and feckless people ignore low productivity whilst they celebrate and tout rising house prices as evidence of recovery when it may be a recipe for even more disaster down the line.
This indicates that housing is a key element buttressing the UK economy and it is based on virtual or illusory price rises that does not require sweat and work and so it is a bubble that may burst even explosively killing many who are foolhardy.
Never a need to make calls which are for show:
For those with true understanding and goodwill, there is never a need to make calls to them but what is needed is to discuss with them what is the matter and then to undertake collective action.
For those without true understanding and goodwill, they are stubborn and bent in their selfish ways and they are not open to discussions and so what remains is to make calls and pleas which fall largely if not totally on deaf ears and they may smile and nod but continue the same afterwards.
Third world war not about industrial muscle but first and lethal strike:
The third world war, should it happen will not be about industrial muscle and endurance but who strikes first and how lethal his nuclear strikes are, should there be anyone around to be declared winner.
THE THIRD WORLD WAR IF IT HAPPENS WOULD NOT REVOLVE AROUND INDUSTRIAL MUSCLE AND MAY NOT LAST VERY LONG NOR WOULD THERE BE A CLEARCUT WINNER.
IT IS A MATTER OF HOW LETHAL, STRATEGIC THE STRIKES ARE AND BOTH VICTORS AND VANQUISHED MAY BE MORTALLY WOUNDED.
D-Day Spirit requires rehash:
Hollande’s call for D-Day spirit is false and evil because it requires robotic rehash.
Even if he cannot define what he means by D-Day spirit, even it is false, D-Day spirit can be defined as such and such which must be remembered and then used as a base for action which demands a robotic existence.
WHATEVER IS REHASHED ACCORDING TO A SCRIPT IS FALSE AND EVIL TO SELF AND OTHERS AND SO A CALL FOR THE D-DAY SPIRIT IS NEVER GOOD BUT BAD, EVIL.
WHATEVER IS THE TRUTH AND GOOD IS NOT THE D-DAY SPIRIT BUT THE TRUTH AND GOOD, WHATEVER IS THE D-DAY SPIRIT CANNOT BE THE TRUTH AND GOOD. THERE IS NO NEED TO RESORT TO THE D-DAY SPIRIT, JUST UNDERSTAND WHAT IS TRUE AND GOOD AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO SEE AS TRUE AND GOOD HOLLANDE’S CALL AND SO THEY MUST CONDITION THEMSELVES TO IGNORE IT (SWITCH OFF) WITH STIRRED RESISTANCE OR PRETEND TO APPRECIATE.
Hitler came within whisker of taking Moscow:
Hitler came within a whisker (20 miles) of capturing Moscow (and its strategic implications); its residents feared its fall within days/weeks but a combination of extreme cold/snow and possibly blunders Hitler failed in the end and that marked the beginning of his ultimate inevitable defeat later.
Like Genghis Khan who slayed all before him, Hitler seemed invincible after he swiftly conquered the low land countries (Holland, Belgium) and France and the next year he marched on Russia which had the largest army, most tanks and air force in the world. However Russia’s army had antiquated equipment and it had just suffered a brutal systemic purge of its officer corps by Stalin.
Hitler coveted Russia for its vast resource rich lands (steppes, grain land, resources and oil. Germany was dependent on Finland for iron ore and Rumania for oil and when Hitler annexed East European countries without first declaring war, Russia also moved forward and took part of east Rumania that threatened Hitler’s vital oil supplies.
Operation Barbarossa, Hitler’s codename for the operation to conquer Russia was (?fatally) delayed for a month by the need to intervene in Yugoslavia and Greece to quell rebellions and when he commenced hostility, his army rapidly advanced in a broad front into Russia until he came close to Moscow. If he had immediately taken Moscow when the weather was still good, he may have succeeded but instead he thought he had better prizes elsewhere and directed his tanks south to capture Stalingrad and the Ukraine.
When the first autumn snow came and melted it made roads a quagmire of mud unpassable to his vehicles such that soldiers had to commandeer local horses for personal transport and carrying. But when winter came and the soil hardened, he recommenced his advance and broke through Moscow’s defence in several places to be within 20 miles of Moscow. However, the winter with its bitter cold and relentless snow that was said to be extreme, the worst in many years set in and his soldiers were without proper clothes and Hitler failed to supply them and many died of cold whilst the tanks and trucks could not be started because of frozen lubricant oils.
Unknown to the Germans, Moscow’s defence was in the hands of an able new general Zhukov and he had a secret elite or crack Siberian army in reserve to launch an attack. And so with the Germans suffering from the cold, Zhukov’s crack Siberian troops suddenly launched a counter attack on skis and horseback together with tanks and artillery adapted to the cold and they inflicted the first defeat on German soldiers so that they had to retreat and it was a psychological blow that the German army was not invincible.
SOMETIMES ARMOUR AND THE BEST EQUIPMENT ARE NO MATCH FOR SKIS AND HORSES AND SO IT WAS WHEN THE GERMAN ARMY WAS CRIPPLED BY FROST, THEY WERE NO MATCH FOR CRACK SIBERIAN TROOPS ON SKIS AND HORSEBACKS.
Hitler usually did not declare war, when he did it was a blunder:
Hitler’s modus operandi was to secretly amass troops and armour at the border and then suddenly attack, he did this in all countries like Poland, Holland, Belgium and France but inexplicably maybe out of frustration at America’s meddling to support England and Russia he declared war on the USA after Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.
This brought America officially to be at war with Germany and Roosevelt did not need to justify Congress to go to war with Germany since war was forced on the US.
The relentless bombardment of Germany at the later part of the war was almost entirely an American affair and so if war wasn’t declared on America it would have little justification to bomb Germany.
Hitler was treacherous:
Many times Hitler would assure his neighbours he had no intentions of invading them and yet within months he would suddenly without declaring war attack them blitzkrieg fashion.
Hitler had a non aggression pact with Russia (so that he can attack Poland without fear of reprisal from Russia) but within a year after he disposed of Poland he reneged on his treaty and launched an undeclared war on Russia.
Only those who are deluded would ponder such questions.
If Britain’s race tolerance is fabricated, contrived, never genuine, it has strain or tension, then it does not matter if Britain is more tolerant or racist, they are both false, contrived.
For those who understand, race is never an issue of truth or falsity, good or bad, only those who are partisan, deluded does race matter and racial tolerance is never without underlying strain or hypocrisy and so it is deluded to discuss whether Britain is more racist.
WHETHER RACIAL TOLERANCE IN BRITAIN IS TRUE OR HYPOCRISY IS OBJECTIVE CANNOT BE DISPUTED. IF IT IS HYPOCRITICAL AND YOU THINK IT IS GENUINE THEN YOU ARE DELUDED.
IF IT IS HYPOCRITICAL, MERELY A VENEER WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF RACISM START REARING ITS UGLY HEAD WHERE IT WAS CONCEALED IN THE PAST?
Whether Britain is more racist does not matter:
Whether Britain is more or less racist does not matter except if you are deluded, what matters is whether you are true or false, good or bad because Britain is heading for perishing, it is rotten and those who are attached to Britain will similarly perish and so what matters is that you be true and good so that you may be saved from endless death and suffering.
WHETHER BRITAIN IS MORE RACIST OR NOT DOES NOT MATTER FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY AND SO IF YOU THINK IT MATTERS YOU ARE DELUDED, PARTISAN, ATTACHED TO THIS WORLD AND HEADING FOR PERISHING.
Britain more racist is a distraction:
The Buddha said you must set aside the many distractions of the world (wrong attention to pay attention to them) that bind you and keep you in this world.
Right attention is a factor in the Buddha’s eightfold path and right attention is paying attention to the stress, restlessness and scattering of your concentration and identifying the sources as there are to their arising and putting them to a stop.
There are many kinds of interviews like job interviews, celebrity interviews and the reason why people fumble is because what is asked of them is not the truth but deluded and what they answer is not the truth but deluded, designed to create false impressions of themselves.
IF YOUR CONVERSATION IS (TRULY) MEANINGFUL, IT IS NOT AN INTERVIEW AND PEOPLE FUMBLE AT INTERVIEWS, THERE IS TENSION AT INTERVIEWS BECAUSE IT IS DECEITFUL, WHAT IS ASKED OF THOSE INTERVIEWED ARE FALSE OR DELUDED AND THEIR ANSWERS ARE NOT THE TRUTH BUT DESIGNED TO PRESENT AN IMAGE OF THEMSELVES THAT IS FALSE AND INTENDED TO IMPRESS OR PLEASE.
Russian steppes disorientated German armies:
In those days there was no GPS to tell you where to go and even if there were spotter planes, communications are not immediate.
And so German troops complained of serious disorientation, miles upon miles, horizon to horizon of grasslands keep coming up and they became disorientated, there are video clips of German officers with maps in their hands pointing here and there deciding where in a featureless grassland they are stuck in the middle of to head out.
War 1st Versus 2nd World War style:
Apart from secret illegal rearmament, a decisive advantage Hitler had over his adversaries was the German adoption of new war technology, the use of mobile armour to punch holes in enemy defence lines on two sides and then encircle them and the use of modern air force to drop paratroopers behind the line to create havoc and occupy until terrestrial reinforcements could arrive.
WWI was fought on trenches with brutal artillery bombardment of each other, use of chemical weapons, strafing of enemy positions by crude biplanes.
German methods in WWII took its enemies by surprise in the use of massed armoured charges using tanks to punch holes rapidly in enemy defensive lines and these pincers then closed at the back of the enemy lines to encircle and cut off retreat and supplies. Further modern air forces enabled paratroopers to be dropped behind enemy lines to subvert their frontline defences and hold awaiting charging armoured thrusts.
Whilst all this may impress fellow robots, it is about tactics using what is available now (tanks and armoured vehicles) that was not available previously, using speed and surprise to overwhelm robotic enemies still used to the old style of warfare.
BLITZKRIEG IS NOTHING MORE THAN A NEW STYLE OF WARFARE ADAPTING TO NEW WEAPONS (ARMOURED VEHICLES AND AIRDROPS), IT IS A THEORY AND PLAN AND ONLY ROBOTS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING CARRYING OUT ACCORDING TO PLANS ARE REQUIRED.
VERY SOON THE ENEMIES (RUSSIAN, AMERICANS) CAUGHT ON OR COPIED AND USED THE SAME TACTICS TO DEVASTATING EFFECTS ON THE GERMAN PIONEERS THEMSELVES.
THE MODUS OPERANDI OF WWII IS MASSIVE ARTILLERY BOMBARDMENT FOLLOWED BY CHARGING ARMOUR ON EITHER SIDES OF THE ENEMY POSITIONS AND ONCE IT HAS PUNCHED THROUGH THE TWO PRONGS TURN AROUND TO ENCIRCLE THE TRAPPED ENEMIES CUTTING OFF RETREAT AND SUPPLIES.
Hitler could have won the Battle of Britain, but so what?
Had Hitler or his egotistic Luftwaffe chief Goering persisted and not switched tactics, Hitler could have won the Battle of Britain but even if he had won, his plan to invade Britain was make shift and vulnerable and he had to choose between taking Britain or Russia and Russia is likely to be the more desirable prize to covetous Hitler.
That may be the reason his deputy Hess secretly parachuted into Britain seeking a peaceful settlement with the British whom Hitler considered fellow Aryans so that Hitler could concentrate on conquering Russia instead of having to wage two wars at the same time with Britain and Russia that was against his own tenets of warfare.
Hitler was an avaricious man in a hurry to conquer the world but he could not take Britain and Russia at the same time and so if he wanted to take Britain first it would mean postponing his Russian conquest for one year which would allow Russia more time to bolster itself.
A seaborne invasion is far trickier than the usual blitzkrieg and his preparations had been makeshift if at all and he needed to establish air superiority so that the RAF cannot destroy his seaborne invasion fleet.
HITLER WAS NOT THAT MIGHTY THAT HE COULD TAKE BRITAIN AND RUSSIA AT THE SAME TIME AND SO IF HE WERE TO TAKE BRITAIN THROUGH A FAR TRICKIER SEABORNE INVASION THAT HE HAD NOT MADE PREPARATIONS, HIS PREPARATIONS WERE VERY MAKESHIFT, HE WOULD HAVE TO ESTABLISH AIR SUPERIORITY BY DESTROYING THE RAF FIRST TO PROTECT HIS INVASION FLEET. DELAYING THE RUSSIAN ATTACK WOULD GIVE THE RUSSIANS MORE TIME TO BOLSTER DEFENCES AND SO TREACHEROUS HITLER WHO CONSIDERED BRITONS FELLOW ARYANS WAS PREPARED TO MAKE PEACE AND THAT MAY BE THE REASON HIS DEPUTY SECRETLY PARACHUTED INTO BRITAIN.
The RAF was seriously depleted after the Dunkirk evacuation but the Battle of Britain began slowly with Luftwaffe attacks on shipping in the channel before Goering turned his attention on the British airfields to try and destroy the RAF.
He had almost destroyed the RAF when he blundered by shifting his bombing focus to London which allowed the RAF time to recover so that they devastated the Luftwaffe conducting daylight bombing over London to such extent that they turned to night raids.
The Luftwaffe was at a disadvantage over Britain because its bombers can carry limited bomb loads because of fuel considerations, their fighter pilot escort could only remain for 30 minutes before having to return because of fuel constraints. By contrast the RAF could remain airborne for much longer because their bases were nearby and the radar network along the coasts allowed them early warning of raids so that they can time their take offs.
For 70 days nonstop the Luftwaffe rained bombs including incendiaries designed to cause fires and this caused serious destruction to London but they suddenly came to an end in the nick of time as Hitler shifted his resources to the conquest of Russia.
HITLER CAME VERY CLOSE TO THE DESTRUCTION OF RAF IN HIS ATTACKS ON AIRFIELDS BUT AT THE LAST MOMENT HE SHIFTED FOCUS TO LONDON WHICH ALLOWED THE RAF TIME TO RECOVER AND IT THEN INFLICTED A DEVASTATING TOLL ON HITLER’S BOMBERS CONDUCTING DAYLIGHT LONDON RAIDS. THE BOMBING OF LONDON INCLUDING USE OF INCENDIARIES CAUSING FIRE WAS SERIOUS DAMAGING LONDON WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED BECAUSE HITLER SHIFTED HIS ATTENTION TO RUSSIA.
IJM offers to privatise IJM Land for RM1.98 billion
People say of course they understand and they know money does not grow on trees or out of thin air but reflecting their lack of true understanding money does grow on trees or out of thin air with such (inflated) valuations of assets that are common place in today’s avaricious world.
Developers, listed companies or businessmen acquire land or assets at low prices and these in the course of time grow monstrously in value making their owners very rich at least on paper and they are a form of (unrighteous) claims on the existing wealth of the system, that serves to drain or dilute wealth of the system into the hands of those privileged to own assets that they can insert into the system at much inflated values without any work being done.
IT MAY BE TRUE SUCH ASSETS ARE WORTH BILLIONS OR IT MAY BE HYPED, ALLOWED TO BE JACKED UP BY INDIFFERENT AUTHORITIES AND THESE MAKE THEIR PRIVILEGED OWNERS VERY RICH OVERNIGHT AND IT IS AT EXPENSE OF THE SYSTEM, DRAINS VALUE FROM THE SYSTEM AND DILUTE THE WEALTH OF THE SYSTEM THAT IF ALLOWED TO FESTER WILL SEVERELY DISTORT AND CHANGE THE WEALTH STRUCTURE OF THE SYSTEM.
Turning shy to confident speakers:
If a person dwells in truth and goodness then there is nothing to be shy or confident about what he says and it is only if a person does not dwell in truth or goodness, what he says is pretentious, deceptive, not intended to be true and good but motivated, intended falsely to please and impress, to get what he wants that he is afflicted with shyness or he must galvanize himself to deceive others he is confident in himself and what he says.
Therefore shyness and confidence are meaningless, controlled insanity necessitated by the falsity and harmfulness to self and others of what one says and it reflects human delusion and complicity that they talk about shyness and confidence as if one is undesirable and the other desirable when they are mad, evil.
AS LONG AS WHAT YOU SAY IS FALSE AND MOTIVATED, YOU CANNOT TRULY CONVERT A SHY SPEAKER TO A CONFIDENT SPEAKER, YOU CAN LEARN OR TRAIN AT GREAT COSTS IN MENTAL INSANITY AND STRESS TO SUPPRESS DISPLAYING YOUR SHYNESS OR DIFFIDENT BUT IT IS A CAN OF WORMS THAT WILL HARM THE FOOL.
Why people are shy:
The reason some people are shy is because there is strong resistance present in their speech and the reason there is strong resistance is because what is said contain falsity and harmfulness rather than truth and benevolence.
Those who are confident are either tough goats who have learnt to suppress their resistance very well or they are without conscience or concern and their natural resistance to falsity and self-harm are lower, they don’t give a damn to self and others.
The world might still be Nazi had Russia capitulated like France:
It was because Russia heroically stood up to Hitler, refused to surrender under much duress and privation or hardship unlike France which capitulated cowardly taking the easy way out (not because it turned the other cheek as Jesus commanded but to save Paris and France from destruction) that the world was rid of the scourge of Nazism.
If Russia had toppled at the first sign of trouble, then swiftly, with his army still pristine, intact but emboldened and war experienced, Hitler would have gained control of the whole of Europe with Russia’s prized grain fields, resources and oil and manpower added to his fiefdom he could consolidate his power over Europe making him even harder to dislodge and Britain would be fighting an even impossible war against Nazi capture and America might be threatened by a Nazi Germany much strengthened and unscathed by attrition from not having to fight Russia.
NOT ONLY HAD RUSSIA RESISTED DESPITE HEAVY LOSSES, REPEATED RETREATS AND STOICALLY DEFENDED LENINGRAD, STALINGRAD AND MOSCOW, UNDER COMMUNIST CENTRAL COMMAND, ENTIRE FACTORIES TOGETHER WITH THEIR WORKERS WERE DISMANTLED, CARTED THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY TO THE EAST OF THE URAL MOUNTAINS OUT OF REACH OF HITLER, REASSEMBLED TO PRODUCE THE WEAPONS NECESSARY TO FIGHT HITLER, GRAIN AND FACILITIES WERE SCORCHED TO DENY THE OCCUPYING NAZIS SUSTENANCE.
IT WAS SAID THAT THE SINGLE ACT OF DISMANTLING AND TRANSPORTING BY RAIL FACTORIES AND WORKERS OUT OF CAPTURE BY GERMANY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR RUSSIA’S FINAL ASCENDANCY OVER GERMANY.
The world today is still very evil but it could be much worse under the Nazis, Hitler was treacherous, mad and wicked, he never declared war but instead assured his intended victims, secretly massed troops and suddenly launched massive attacks. Millions of Jews, gypsies and undesirable elements were sent to concentration camps to be eliminated or work extracted from them and discarded afterwards when they could not work further.
France was ruled by weak government and its military presided by geriatric generals out of touch with changing military technology, when Hitler invaded the lowland countries (Holland, Belgium, Denmark) France’s best armies together with a British expeditionary force was foolishly sent to these countries to counter the invasion but Hitler had set a trap for them. His panzer armoured divisions were secretly massed to cut rapidly through poorly defended, what was thought to be unpassable Ardennes mountainous region and these divisions immediately swung north to trap the French and British forces in a pocket.
The French army threw down their weapons and surrendered en masse when challenged and when Paris was encircled, many fled Paris and to spare their dear Paris from destruction, the French requested an armistice and surrendered, even Hitler and his generals were amazed how easy their victory had been.
THE NAZI ARMY MAY APPEAR INVINCIBLE, ALL CONQUERING AND THEIR SUCCESSES IMPRESSIVE BUT ACTUALLY APART FROM THE INITIAL SUCCESSES CULMINATING IN THE CAPTURE OF FRANCE (PLUS MINOR SUCCESSES IN AFRICA, BALKANS AND GREECE), THEY (SOON) MET WITH DEFEAT IN RUSSIA AND THENCEFORTH IT WAS DOWNHILL.
RUSSIA BY INFLICTING DEFEAT AND DAMAGE TO HITLER’S ARMY PUSHED BACK THE TIDE AND THEN THE POWER OF RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN WAR PRODUCTION UNMOLESTED BY GERMAN BOMBING INEVITABLY TRIUMPHED OVER GERMAN PRODUCTION HARASSED BY ALLIED BOMBING.
HOWEVER IF RUSSIA HAD CAPITULATED LIKE FRANCE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE THEN WITH HIS ARMY STILL INTACT, HITLER WOULD HAVE CONTROLLED EUROPE TOGETHER WITH RUSSIA WITH ITS PRIZED RESOURCES AND MANPOWER AND THEN HE WOULD BE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO DISLODGE AND BRITAIN AND AMERICA WOULD STRUGGLE EVEN MORE TRYING TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT.
Hitler invited America to bomb Germany:
Although America was providing much material assistance to Britain and Russia, it was not at war with Germany and so had no cause to attack Germany but when Hitler foolishly, emotionally declared war on America after Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, America had cause to bomb Germany since it was now at war with Germany and America with its considerable resources, was the principal supplier of bombing missions especially those B17 super fortresses that relentlessly bombed German cities and facilities in the later years of the war.
CONCEITED AND ARROGANT WITH HIS POWER HITLER DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS FOOLISH TO DECLARE WAR ON AMERICA, HE WAS ONLY UNNECESSARILY INVITING AMERICA TO ATTACK GERMANY FROM BRITISH BASES.
Imagine Pol Pot running the world:
The world might be evil and bad as it is, but imagine Pol Pot who conducted mass genocide of his people was to rule the world, it would be disaster.
SIMILARLY AS BAD AS THE WORLD IS ALREADY, IT WOULD BE WORSE IF HITLER HAD REMAINED IN POWER, HE WOULD HAVE CAUSED MAYHEM BECAUSE HE IS MAD, EVIL AND TREACHEROUS.
This is a false statement said without knowing to hype what the person wants to sell and it has debt to be repaid as suffering.
Without knowing what you say is true you are not entitled to say it unless you want to incur debt to be repaid as suffering.
ALL ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE SUBJECT TO STRESS, THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STRESS THEY EXPERIENCE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THEIR CASHLESS SPENDING CAN BE STRESS FREE BUT IT MUST ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRESS AND SO WHAT YOU SAY IS FALSE LIABLE FOR DEBT.
KUALA LUMPUR: Management consultant Cheong Mei Kuen said as banker Hussain Ahmad Najadi lay dying from an assailant’s bullet outside a temple here last year, he whispered to her, “My darling.”
The common (wrong) understanding is that it is touching, poignant, somehow meaningful and the person is good.
What it denotes is that the person is emotional and attached to his wife, it is not good but actually bad, the way to more suffering and death.
THE CORRECT UNDERSTANDING FROM THE UTTERANCE IS THAT THE PERSON IS EMOTIONAL, ATTACHED TO HIS WIFE AND THAT IS THE PATH TO MORE BECOMING, MORE SUFFERING AND MORE DEATH WHEN THE PERSON CAN BE IN HEAVEN OR PUT AN END TO ALL SUFFERING.
Don't trust Ridhuan, after all he has Chinese blood
What is so ‘after all’ about having Chinese blood?
What has Chinese blood got to do with the matter?
It is not good to trust and solicit trust from others. You cannot hide your true nature from others, for those who understand, the nature of the person before him, his intentions for saying or doing things is evident and for him it is never a matter of trust, since he knows the person is evil, dishonest, what is there to trust? And so it is those who do not understand, who are gullible, who are greedy who need to trust others and that is not good or blameless but it is bad and blameworthy.
IT IS BLAMEWORTHY NOT BLAMELESS TO TRUST OTHERS, IT MEANS YOU ARE BLIND, DO NOT SEE THE PERSON TRULY AND ARE WILLING TO ENTRUST YOURSELF OR YOUR ASSETS BLINDLY TO OTHERS.
THERE IS NOTHING AFTER ALL ABOUT HAVING CHINESE BLOOD AND WHAT HAS CHINESE BLOOD GOT TO DO WITH MATTERS?
BECAUSE IT IS SENSELESS, THERE IS SUFFERING AND INSANITY AWAITING.

It is dangerous to trust others and you are at fault:
Whatever others say or propose can be truly understood, cannot be truly concealed from others and if you truly understand what is proposed, the question of trust does not arise, if what is proposed is devious, evil, what is there to trust or not trust?
The Buddha said you must see danger in the slightest of faults and trusting others is a fault not a virtue and the wise person abstains from trusting others, from committing himself to what he cannot see or know is true. The wise person can see and he sees what is proposed as evil so what is there for him to trust or not trust?
Pubbakotthaka Sutta: Eastern Gatehouse
I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying in Savatthi, at the Eastern Gatehouse. There he addressed Ven. Sariputta: "Sariputta, do you take it on conviction that the faculty of conviction, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation? Do you take it on conviction that the faculty of persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation?"
"Lord, it's not that I take it on conviction in the Blessed One that the faculty of conviction...persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation. Those who have not known, seen, penetrated, realized, or attained it by means of discernment would have to take it on conviction in others that the faculty of conviction...persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation; whereas those who have known, seen, penetrated, realized, & attained it by means of discernment would have no doubt or uncertainty that the faculty of conviction...persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation. And as for me, I have known, seen, penetrated, realized, & attained it by means of discernment. I have no doubt or uncertainty that the faculty of conviction...persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation."
"Excellent, Sariputta. Excellent. Those who have not known, seen, penetrated, realized, or attained it by means of discernment would have to take it on conviction in others that the faculty of conviction...persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation; whereas those who have known, seen, penetrated, realized, & attained it by means of discernment would have no doubt or uncertainty that the faculty of conviction...persistence...mindfulness...concentration...discernment, when developed & pursued, plunges into the Deathless, has the Deathless as its goal & consummation."
Is gun violence a public health issue?
Gun violence is never a public health issue but it is a public danger and it reflects wrong understanding people think nothing wrong.
GUN VIOLENCE IS NOT ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH BUT DANGER, IT IS NOT AN ISSUE BUT A DANGER.
HEALTH IS A GENERALIZED VAGUE CATEGORY AND MANY THINGS CAN BE THROWN INTO THE BIN OF HEALTH, DANGER IS MORE SPECIFIC AND IT IS INDICATIVE OF REHASHED SPEECH THAT THEY PREFER TO SPEAK IN GENERALITIES THAT MAKES FOR EFFICIENT REHASHING RATHER THAN GO TO THE HEART OF A MATTER.
GUN VIOLENCE IS NOT ABOUT VAGUE PUBLIC HEALTH BUT SPECIFIC INJURY AND DEATH.
Rehashing robots tend to reduce things to vague broad categories:
In the name of efficient rehashing which is demanding because everything you say must be committed to memory and rehashed from memory, events and things should be converted to vague broad categories so that what you say or rehash has broad currency, can be applied to many similar situations.
Thus an issue is broad and vague, danger is specific to gun violence, health is a broad vague category, danger is specific to gun violence.
Those shot are healthy, so what are talking about health?
Gun violence unlike smoking or drinking is not a public health issue because those shot are healthy, they have no health issue but it is a public safety, death injury concern.
