"What a great post! To think that South Korea's leadership is moving towards a more humble and less elitist position while America seems to be moving into a more fascist one is fascinating. It feels like we are at a tipping point in history."
Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!

Susthama Kim replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"Yes, I know what you mean Mat, which is why we should never be carrying a gun or be standing near any kind of button when angry.
And thank you David for all your comments too. It's really hard to trust Trump and his inner circle with one…"
Mat Osmond replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"Our refuge in government is refuge in military bureaucracy - that's an interesting thought, Rob. Thanks.
And yes, after the exchanges prompted by Susthama here, much the same thought was on my mind: that what the shadow of war really presents…"
Robert McCarthy replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"It is easier to view North Korea as one homogenous and vast military bureaucracy than to view the global culture in the same light. Our refuge in government is refuge in military bureaucracy; we are generally saved from seeing the consequences too…"
David Brazier replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"Yes, I know what you mean. The big political goings on are like a larger than life theatre that reflects the same bombu nature back to us as we encounter in smaller ways (though to each of us personally feeling larger) every day."
Mat Osmond replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"With so many lives presently overshadowed by a handful of foolish beings and their bombast, this seems trivial, but today has pressed upon me how much conflict flows within my own life. The thought came reading this thread earlier, and as if my life…"
David Brazier replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"With Cuba, Khrushrev did a deal. US took missiles out of Turkey in return for Russia taking missiles out of Cuba. Of course, the Western press only publicised one half of the deal. In this present situation the parallel question would be to do with…"
David Brazier replied to Susthama Kim's discussion CELEBRATING KIM IL SUNG'S ANNIVERSARY in the group WAR & PEACE"The horrible thing about so much of this is the old adage that the best form of defense is attack. So much brinkmanship."

David Brazier replied to Susthama Kim's discussion Celebrating Kim Il Sung's anniversary in the group WAR & PEACE"Yes, it is alarming. Trump has found that he can regain some of the popularity that he was losing by doing spectacular things on the world stage. He seems to like making big bangs that then get talked about approvingly on US TV. In the Korean…"

Celebrating Kim Il Sung's anniversary
I am going to bed wondering if war will break out on the Korean Peninsula. Scary prospect bordering on unthinkable. With men like Donald Trump and Kim Jong un, unpredictable and reckless, it is possible that they will actually provoke the other to react without thinking about the consequences that it will have on so many lives for so many years to come. So far it seems that China, South Korea, Japan, and Russia unanimously want a peaceful resolution but Trump has made a move that could lead…See More

A Special Weekend
Posted by David Brazier on June 26, 2017 at 23:52 1 Comment 0 Likes
I have spent the past weekend at meetings of the Amida Order in Malvern in UK. Apart from approving the advancement of a number of good people there was not a lot of "business" so we were able to concentrate upon our relationships with each other and with life and upon practising together. The whole thing turned out very well. The temple in Malvern is very comfortable and the location superb. It is difficult to convey the quality of interaction between people to those who were not there -…

I suppose that for many people politics seems something rather remote. For me, it is always close to my heart. Not that I strongly support this or that party, but because the issues are of such consequence. This is perhaps because of my early years having been passed in the Middle East where those consequences are evident in a more raw way. Over my lifetime I have watched as a pivotal region of the world has been systematically wrecked and ruined. Beautiful, cosmopolitan, multi-religious…

Message from Geeta

I (Geeta) can offer up to 3 people a lift from Surrey to Eleusis, leaving at 5 am on 1st June and/or returning to England about 5 pm on 4th June. I can offer one person (or a couple) accommodation on the night before we travel and the night that we return.
Thank you Geeta - nice offer.
