Fundamental Nature of American Foreign Policy




How far Obama will bring America? This is a question that continues to bother me when I watch his steps in the early days of his leadership: he ordered the closure of underground prisons of NATO in Europe, he closed the Guantanamo prison, he made a declassification on President George W. Bush memo that allowing "torture "against the prisoners, and he offered a more sane communication and more productive with the other countries which -- so far -- included in the category of America's enemies. He is proficient and confident in performing his decisions. And he's good at communicating.

"You can expect the tireless efforts of the government to increase the prosperity and our security in the second hundred days, the third hundred days, and the rest of the day after," he said in a speech of his first 100 days leading the government. The American people put confidence in his steps. The most recent poll by Gallup gave approval to Obama by 65 percent.

Earlier, during the campaign, he had shown himself to be a great communicator who managed to convince the majority of Americans to vote for him and entrusted the presidency to him. It's a gigantic project for a citizen of African descent who bears the "funny name" -- a term he himself used in a book he wrote - a name that suggests the Islamic roots of his father's side, and he succeeded brilliantly in the project. And his success to become the number one in White House, however, has aroused a sensation and a certain expectation in the world of American politics today, and it extends to various parts of the world.

During his first hundred days, the world saw the appearance of an American president who was much different from the previous president, George W. Bush who imagining himself as the leader of "modern Crusade" while echoing the war against terrorism, to whatever action he meant as terrorism. Obama opened communication. Bush impressed himself as a person who just wanted to know what was in his own mind, what he wanted, and how it was realized for whatever reason, even when the reason was proven untrue. And Bush is not the only American president who likes to do so. We know the name of Lyndon B. Johnson, who made a false excuse to demolish Vietnam and Laos, Nixon for Chile and Cambodia, Reagan to Nicaragua and El Salvador, and so on. There are dozens of the U.S. maneuver and intervention and it often involves  false pretenses of the government in power.

Until the end of the twentieth century, the United States recorded has sent more than 250 million soldiers to fight in other countries; and within the period after World War II to the present, the U.S. is the most industrious nation in waging war in other countries. The amount of course has been increasing with the war waged by George W. Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq at the beginning of the 21st century.

Now we see Obama offers "different language" in the U.S. association with other nations. Obama is like having the willingness to communicate with the language used by the interlocutor and bringing the conversation to a more constructive level. It is not surprising that we can expect the emergence of a new chapter in relations with countries such as Cuba, Venezuela, and even towards better in diplomacy with Iran.

At least Obama is offering a communication patterns that are not encountered in some of his predecessors, who likes to put themselves at the center of the "good-bad ratings", which therefore they tend to intervene and send troops to fight. Obama has a remarkable ability to build closeness with anyone he spoke. He has skills as an accomplished communicator who is able to change the behavior of others. If we look at how the late President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, thrusting his hand shaking him, and there we see how Obama has made him acceptable to the party that originally asserted its harsh attitude to the U.S..

Is Obama an anomaly? So far, yes. Especially if we trace further back, about the history of the U.S. lunge in many countries in almost all parts of the earth, which begins with the CIA maneuver at first, followed later by sending troops after the "reason" is found, and ends with the formation of a new government in the country that supports the U.S. interests. If the intervention fails to give birth to a new government, the United States will make efforts to impose sanctions and exclusion of the country concerned.

Three Pillars of the US government
Intelligence, military, and industry: these are the three pillars, which so far underlying the U.S. interests with its foreign policy, especially with its relation with the third world countries. And the three pillars always need enemies. Military and CIA require the enemy as the reason for their existence. Industry -- especially the defense contractor -- require it as an enemy to be fought, with advanced weaponry and air defense systems; and the enemy of their enemy should be armed.

The corporate wealth has become inflated, exceeding the wealth of a number of countries in the world. The executives of these corporations enjoy this abundance thanks to the designation themselves as the world's policemen. Their wealth and influence -- accompanied by the submission of media required to maintain and perpetuate fear, previously the fear of "communism" and now the fear of "terrorism" -- has been going on for decades and became stronger. Three pillars have natural properties which leads to the intervention of the enemies. It is inevitable.

In cases such as Grenada, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, even if the intervention target was not promising economic opportunities abound for the U.S. multinationals, but the CIA and the US armed forces felt obliged to intervene. Rhetoric and socialist-revolutionary program has always been a threat that must be stopped to preserve the principle, and also as a warning to others. Cases with small states which occurs repeatedly, shows how scared the U.S. against the emergence of "good example" of the Third World: the birth of an independent society that is not tied to Washington.

In the cold war, every government and movement which launched a program and such rhetoric certainly could not be a US ally. Countries that could not serve as an ally in the Cold War, of course would be declared as "communist". To combat it, then later was created a counter term, namely "national security". It's a flicker of motion which  refers solely from the proverbial, "If there is no communist, then America have to find it."

With the phrase "national security" as an excuse, vocabulary of the "communist" (and also "Marxist") has been used in excess, and abused in such a way by the U.S. leaders and the mass media so that it becomes completely meaningless. I own myself have experienced such a period, ie when all expressions of disappointment or book discussion was yelled, "Communist!". You also often say the same thing to me, dahling, mmmm .... as if at that time I was kind of bugs and you were ready to get rid of me from the sidelines of your book pages. "Communist!" Yeah? And you are nerds, damn!

Well, indeed, the enemy need to be named, and also characteristics, and by calling it on all the time -- I dunno, as a communist or a witch -- then the fear can be conditioned and we become convinced of its existence.

"We have to fight them," US officials said. And "they" could mean farmers in the Philippines, mural painter in Nicaragua, the elected prime minister in the election in British Guiana, the European intellectuals, the neutral Cambodian people, the African nationalists, and anyone who is desired by the U,S.. They become part of the unilateral conspiracy, and imaged as a threat for the America's live views. During the cold war, no other threat which was more terrifying than the "communist threat". At the present time, there is nothing more terrible than the "terrorist threat", so George W. Bush to call for a crusade and the destruction of Iraq and Afghanistan. (We will know the lies behind the U.S. invasion mission to the two countries. Bush, you are mentally ill!)

Conspiracy Mentality
With regard to "communism",  when the name has been given and the fear has been increased then the next step is to find its common traits which deserve to be fought. Thus, we arrive at the next question, "What are the similarities in each country which then becomes the target of the onslaught and deserves to be bombarded with bombs by the most powerful country in the world?"

In every case in the third world countries, they deserve to be targeted when making the U.S. uncomfortable with the policy of "stand on our own feet". We've recorded a time when third world countries inflamed by passion and spirit to liberate themselves from Western colonialism and wanted a free standing between the two powers clashed.

It is the spirit of the times which generally manifested in three forms of stance :
(1) The ambition to liberate themselves from economic dependency and political obedience to the U.S.,
(2) The failure to minimize relations with the socialist bloc, or a reluctance to press the left in their own country, or a refusal to open up to U.S. military installations in their country,
(3) The emergence of an effort to replace the government that does not run all of these goals.

America has its own commentary in dealing with countries that develop a passion like this: they are anti-American. In the current perspective, the tendency to maintain the neutrality of the state has been able to give birth to a pro-communist accusations. Throughout the cold war, the U.S. repeatedly demonstrated its unpreparedness to deal with a neutral attitude shown by the leaders of third world countries, as well as its displeasure against the rhetoric and revolutionary movements in these countries. Mosaddegh of Iran, Sukarno of Indonesia, Nkrumah of Ghana, Sihanouk of Cambodia, all of them -- according to the U.S. -- had to declare themselves firmly on the side of the "Free World", well, the free world commanded by the U.S.. There are serious consequences if they refuse to do it.

Responding to pressure from the West, Kwame Nkrumah, president of Ghana in 1960-1966, expressed his opinion as follows, "The experiments we try to apply in Ghana in essence is to build the country in cooperation with the world as a whole. That's actually called by the non-aligned countries. We are not hostile to the socialist countries, as done by the ex-colonial countries. I hope you remember, when the Britain tries to develop peaceful relations with the Soviet Union, the same thing should not be done by its ex-colonial countries. Books about socialism, which is published and sold freely in the UK are banned in its colonies countries. And after Ghana becomes independent, the assumption never changed. Ghana's independence is required to continue restrictive ideological approach as before. When we do the same with the Britain in dealing with the socialist countries, we are accused of being pro-Russian and we are accused of carrying very dangerous ideas for Africa."

The situation in third world countries as described by Nkrumah reminds us of the dark situation in the southern U.S. in the 19th century. At that time there were a lot of slaves afflicted and they then chose to join their friends in the North in the Civil War. The white people in South continued to defend the idea that the black people were supposed to be grateful for what had been done by their white employers, and they should be happy about it. A doctor from the South, Samuel Cartwright, stating that many slaves at that time suffering from mental illness, which he called "Drapetomania". According to the diagnosis, it is a mental illness caused by the uncontrolled desire to free themselves from slavery.

In the second half of the 20th century, the same disease is called "Communism". And at the beginning of the 21st century, the disease -- perhaps -- is called "Terrorism".

Still with regard to communism, in 1960 appeared a witty report submitted by the National Commission about the causes and prevention of violence. The commission reported that J. Edgar Hoover -- a criminologist who for many years served as the FBI director -- has helped to spread the view among police that the mass protest, whatever its form, has always had a relationship with conspiracy driven by the agitators, and of course those who are referred to as the instigator are the communists who "likes to create misdirection to please the public".

Key to the report is in the last phrase, one thing that shows the mentality of conspiracy among the holders of power. They always assume that no one -- except under the influence of the enemy -- can move a mass protest. Protests occur certainly instigated from outside, from the communists who try to mislead them.

One thing we need to consider is they forget that until now CIA which has the largest role  in sowing sedition in various countries to make the situation is uncertain and the various attempts to overthrow the government in other countries.

The entire state archives which has been declassified -- you can see it  on the National Security Archive website -- shows how vivid and rough the maneuvers performed by the CIA in making the situation of a country becomes chaotic.

If Reagan admitted that the people of El Salvador have strong reason to revolt on their bad luck, then, one thing questionable is the accusation he made about the alliance of Soviet Union, Cuba, and Nicaragua which had incited them. For that reason, he then intervened in El Salvador, with preliminary operations by the CIA to prepare extra-legal lie for the sake of the position of people who were supported by him at the top of the government seat.

Post-Cold War Adventure
Practically, the Cold War ended when the Soviet Union -- which by Ronald Reagan called the "Evil Empire" -- broke up in 1991, about five years after Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, launched the policy of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (restructuring). Then the world witnessing the beginning of a new era that is no more reassuring: World Police era. The implication is the same; when there is no enemy, then the U.S. must find it. And the reason must always be available for the U.S. to continue the adventure.

Towards the end of the1990s, Washington was busy engaging in a serious effort to control elections in countries which previously was Soviet bloc : Russia, Mongolia, and Bosnia. In 1999, they bombed the people of Serbia and Kosovo for 78 days, which at the time it was going to last forever. Balkan war has devastated the countries there. At its peak, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia -- which was called as "the last communist" by Washington -- divided into six small states.

After Balkan episode, then the U.S. did other adventures in the fall of 2001 to intervene openly in the elections in Nicaragua to impede the left's victory. At the same time, it bombarding Afghanistan, and continued its adventures by giving destruction in Iraq.

While continuing savagery against Afghanistan, in 2002 Washington taking the time to hire the support needed in an effort to overthrow Hugo Chavez and his populist government in Venezuela. Throughout these years, while it was still strangling Cuba after centuries of imperialist occupation, the U.S. refused to vacate Guantanamo military base. The U.S. changed Guantanamo into a detention camp for illegal and poor prisoners, as well as for a number of people who were abducted from various places around the world, in what was touted as the War on Terrorism.

There is no peace after Cold War ended. For nearly half a century the officials busy feeding their people with the indoctrination of Cold War, and they force people to fight against the inhabitants of other countries with dishonest reasons.

The military budget swelled so large by one thing that constantly instilled into the minds of citizens, namely that they were fighting to combat the same threat: International Communist Conspiracy, its headquarters in Moscow. But then the Soviet Union crumbled. Warsaw Pact also disappeared. Satellite states of Eastern Europe had become independent states. Communist traces even changed and became a capitalist. But until the end of George W. Bush reign, nothing has changed with U.S. foreign policy.

Even NATO, a defense pact that is established -- supposedly -- to protect Western Europe from the Soviet invasion, still standing upright. Its troops and weaponry become more sophisticated, and NATO becomes a vehicle continuously lubricated so it will revolve smoothly to any foreign political Washington directs it. The U.S. and its NATO allies to act as a substitute for the government on the Balkans as protectorate region. The U.S. also takes advantage of NATO treaty as justification for its members to join the U.S. to invade Afghanistan.

When Russia closing the Cold War bases in Eastern Europe, Vietnam, and Cuba, the US even opened its military bases in areas of the former Soviet Union and in other countries. When Russia closed its intelligence radio station in Lourdes, Cuba, the US even built sophisticated eavesdroppers station in Latvia, right on the border of Russia, as part of global interception system of Washington.

Everything becomes a game full of trickery. The Soviet Union and the so-called communism has never been, and indeed so far not, the object of Washington global attacks. International Communist Conspiracy is just magic created by the U.S.. Real enemies for America always just government or movement, or even individuals, who are considered blocking the expansion of the U.S. Empire -- whatever the name given by the United States against them -- communist, criminal states, drug dealers, terrorists, intellectuals, artists, and so on. You remember, John Lennon -- the Beatles frontman -- was the man who for many years and until his death being followed by FBI.

 So, how far Obama will bring America? It becomes a serious question, because he himself already "promising" with a few steps and his approach, in his first 100 days, his success or failure within his second 100 days, third, and so on, especially in building the relationships between nations and interstates become healthier, it seems to be very determined initially by how much he is able or not able to reframe the basic nature of U.S. foreign policy. The problem is, their long history of interfering in the affairs of other countries and sending troops to realize what they want even have given arbitrary pride and narcissistic within their admirers. I admire you, dahling, but I am not wowed by the government of your country. Trust me.

Robert Kagan, a leading man who establishing the U.S. foreign policy, with full confidence said, "The fact is that the benevolent hegemony which is run by the U.S. is a good thing for most of the inhabitants of the earth. It certainly is the best alternative and realistic than all the alternatives that may exist." And this opinion is shared by a number of others, including Michael Hirsch, editor of Newsweek magazine, which assumes that the U.S. privileges in carrying out its foreign policy is something that is accepted as a "gratitude for their historical gains that have been protected by a force that could be considered generous."

That's how they agree on foreign policy and be able to live peacefully with it. And its implications can be very worrying: the U.S. may do anything and if the U.S. is forced to fight, then it must be done by humane.

Well, and I ask myself, "How many millions of casualties by "the generous power of the U.S.", hm?"

"Power is not happiness. Security and peace are more to be desired than a man at which nations tremble." - WILLIAM GODWIN


15 December 2014 : Now is the perfect time to get started on something new -- maybe a new business venture, or maybe a new relationship. You feel more connected to the world, and should be able to make real progress. You may be quick to disagree with someone today because you secretly hope to stir up a lively debate, even if you don't want to create lasting conflict. Nevertheless, you could attack the wrong person.



16 December 2014 : It's not a good time to focus on personal stuff -- put that off for a few days and see if you can't help a friend or colleague in need. Things can get a lot better if you just allow them to spiral out. You may be living under the illusion that you can finish all your work or, at least, make solid progress toward your current goals. However, you might end up spinning your wheels in order to spend time with someone who tugs on your heartstrings. Unfortunately, your relationship expectations could be unrealistic now that vulnerable Venus connects with buoyant Jupiter in your 5th House of Love. Forget about chasing the impossible dream because you have a better chance of finding happiness today by pursuing a more responsible path.

17 December 2014 : If you can just pay a little extra attention to that one person, all should go well for both of you. If it's too much trouble, expect for life to get a lot weirder as the day progresses. Keeping your feet on the ground isn't an easy matter today, for you're tempted to set aside the basic facts to chase an unreachable fantasy. Although ignoring the truth may seem like a clever idea, you can't escape your obligations by just slipping off into another dimension. Fortunately, you can still make good use of your imagination without having to fool anyone if you have the courage to take responsibility for your actions. Walk your talk and you will come out on top.

18 December 2014 : The distinction between friendship and courtship might be a subtle one now, but it's crucial to be conscious of the difference. Even if you're not seeking more from a relationship, you still can benefit greatly from being aware of your emotions whether expressed or not. However, you don't need to do anything special in order to attain love. Your current lesson is learned by fully experiencing the desires of your heart without attempting to make anyone else responsible for your happiness.

19 December 2014 : You've got some big business going on down deep -- and you may need to let it work on its own while you distract your higher mental functions with video games or political discussions. You could inadvertently become emotionally hooked by someone else's agenda today. However, participating in an unnecessary melodrama makes it tough to get your own work done. Thankfully, it shouldn't take long to acknowledge that things cannot continue along the same path. You are sensible enough now to change your attitude which can put control of the day back in your hands. Prioritize what you want to accomplish and then reach for your goals with confidence. Combining integrity with persistence is an unbeatable strategy.

20 December 2014 : Risking your emotional security seems like a worthwhile gamble today, but an unsuccessful shortcut might require you to go back over the same territory until you learn your lesson. Unfortunately, you may be so entranced by the current excitement that you can't remember your past mistakes. You can trick yourself into believing there's a quick fix when there's none to be found. There's no way around it; the road to success will take time and hard work. A change in attitude will do you a world of good.

21 December 2014 : Persuading someone to change their feelings through coercion or empty promises is not a viable way to get what you want today. A smarter strategy is to let go of control and surrender to your emotions now. The ambitious New Moon falls in your 10th House of Career, requiring a brand new approach to your responsibilities. Though compromise isn't normally your style, calculated actions alone will only box you in. Take a chance and express what's in your heart.

22 December 2014 : You're often the one who waits until the absolute last minute and then squeaks in under the deadline. But every moment counts now so make a concentrated effort to find your stride early in the day. The sooner you begin a project today, the longer you can sustain a high level of productivity. But starting out of the gate quickly makes sense only if you're willing to set a manageable pace that you can maintain until you reach the finish line.

23 December 2014 : You need to take a break, or at least slow down a little. Things are starting to get a little weird, but your attention to self-care is all it takes for you to get back on track. You don't want to slow down for anyone today, but you wisely understand that expending too much energy to make insignificant gains isn't such a great idea. You're being challenged to accomplish everything that you set out to do now. However, it's best to act methodically rather than frantically fighting an uphill battle. Instead of attempting to finish what you begin, just lay a solid foundation for what's to follow. Work smarter, not harder.

24 December 2014 : Your ability to get things done quickly tempts you to take on more responsibilities than you can possibly finish. However, your holiday spirit may run into trouble if you overextend your reach today. Instead of thinking that you need to convert every intellectual breakthrough into tangible results, just allow your brilliant ideas to come and go like the tides. Visualize yourself standing on the shores of awareness, but remember that you don't have to capture every individual wave to make your mark.

25 December 2014 : Something new comes your way and excites you beyond all reason. It may be a person, actually, but no matter what, your energy and your reaction set the tone for your interactions. Acknowledging your feelings may be a real struggle today because they interfere with your original agenda. Fortunately, your self-esteem is strong enough to handle some very intense self-examination now that can bring your personal objectives into greater focus. But the real lesson today isn't about your emotional growth; it's about balancing your need to meet existing responsibilities with your desire to create more meaningful relationships. Spend time with those you love and leave your worries behind.

26 December 2014 : Helping others is as good as it gets for you right now -- and every good deed you do racks up twice as much good karma. Something you do this morning comes back to honor you tomorrow. Responsibilities pull you back into the real world today, even if you go kicking and screaming the whole way. Unfortunately, denial isn't an option now; you can't escape the obligations you have allowed to pile up. Thankfully, taking a mature approach to your commitments enables you to perform your earthly tasks while also pursuing more spiritual interests. Don't aim for an either/or solution to your dilemma; build your current strategy on inclusive thinking. A holistic philosophy empowers you to work simultaneously on multiple levels.

27 December 2014 : As you gaze into the future, you realize you need to plan for a change in direction to conserve your resources. You might even consider going on a retreat, especially if you feel as if you're running on empty. Creating space for a bit of solitude can be challenging today, yet time alone is more valuable than you think. Ironically, the more complicated it is to schedule some downtime, the more you need it. Don't make excuses; just make it happen.

28 December 2014 : Action is key to fun and success today -- so don't slow down unless you must. As long as you keep in motion, you should find that obstacles fade away and challenges turn into opportunities. Rushing into a situation without any forethought sounds perfectly fine to you, especially since the Moon returns to your impetuous sign early this morning. Unfortunately, your reckless behavior could arouse strong reactions from friends and acquaintances. Although it's wise to wait it out and see how you feel in a couple of days, you might not be able to resist the excitement of embarking on something new. If your sense of urgency gets the best of you, at least temper your actions so you don't create too much chaos.

29 December 2014 :  You know exactly what you want today with the Aries Moon brightly reflecting your needs. But, unfortunately, sharing your heart's desires might not bring you any closer to satisfaction now if others don't understand what you're saying. Communication is tricky for a couple of days while trickster Mercury is orbiting under the influence of delusional Neptune. You can talk yourself into doing nearly anything, but keeping your feelings to yourself works in your favor. In the meantime, cultivate your future by giving yourself permission to dream.

30 December 2014 : Now is the time to snap into action -- you're not going to get another opportunity like this for quite some time! Your energy is perfect for making a move and getting others to do the same, if necessary. Sticking to a proven method brings better results today than trying a whole new approach. You may grow restless if everything seems too familiar; however, it's much smarter now to manage your anxiety by gradually modifying your attitude instead of randomly messing with your environment. Thankfully, once you settle into a routine, most everything should get easier to handle all around. Surprisingly, slow and steady change will be much more satisfying than you think.

31 December 2014 : You should ask for what you want forcefully -- but not so much that you step on toes. That is sure to turn people off, so use tact and you should end the day really happy. You may be known for your ability to act spontaneously rather than planning ahead; nevertheless, you can also be quite patient if you want something badly enough. Although your current desires are strong, you're not in too much of a hurry now. In fact, you might even feel lazy enough today to luxuriate in the status quo. But don't get too complacent because a rising tide of enthusiasm is raising the stakes in the game. Your current creative efforts are more important than you think; embrace the future by initiating action in the present moment.

Ruble crisis could shake Putin's grip on power - By Timothy Heritage
MOSCOW - Russia failed to halt the collapse of the ruble, leaving President Vladimir Putin facing a full-blown currency crisis that could weaken his iron grip on power.
* U.S.: ruble plunge has Russia between 'rock and hard place'
* FX platforms halt ruble trade as banks wary of capital controls
* Kerry says Russia sanctions could end if Putin takes right steps

GREAT DEBATE
In 2015, Vladimir Putin may witness his empire's death knell
Apart from the development of the political conditions, Russia's GDP growth will reach 0.5 percent range, based on World Bank calculations. The World Bank has prepared three scenarios for Russia's economic growth based on the development of the political situation in the world today and the future. However, regardless of the political conditions that will happen, Russia's GDP growth in 2014 will reach 0.5 percent range. This indicate  Russia is able to avoid a recession this year.

Russia's economic growth next depends on Russia's relations with Western countries. Therefore, the World Bank has prepared three scenarios for the growth of the Russian economy. The first scenario assumes that although this year Russia's GDP will not change, next year Russia's GDP will grow minimal, ie, 0.3 in 2015 and 0.4 percent in 2016.

Ah, I do not think so. If you pay attention to the people culture in Asian countries, then you will find when they are upset or really angry then they will curse to those who have made them angry by calling them with the names of animals such as monkey, dog, pig, even this is done by parents to their children. Most of them which are referred to as the personification of a person who has made them angry are mammals. Although derived from mammals, but they rarely mention the names of elephant, horse, rabbit, cat.  They also do not include a group of fish, birds, molluscs and reptiles in the list of their indignity expression.

And I laugh to myself when guessing one thing, mmm ...., this might be caused by the human subconscious to vent the encouragement of their libido behind their negative emotions :  personification of man as an animal is derived from a group of mammals that can be sodomized. And it is very rare or it can be said they never mention the animals name from the insects group for cursing, for example ants. "Ants! Ants! You are an ant!". Never.

Well, to sodomize the ants? Oh? Like it? Do it. Good luck!

And you, Mr. Obama, you do not need to get upset if you're called a monkey by North Korea. If you are not a monkey, why you must get angry when people curse you as a monkey, hm?

Blizzards in Moscow: Now that's what we call winter

If you love something, then something always look different from the others, even though they are essentially the same. What is the difference of snow in Russia and America? They are equally chilled, frozen, do not have feelings, and I hate them all. But like I said earlier, if you love something, then something always look different from the others, even though they are essentially the same. I like a Russian. He is not an ordinary person. He is a strong man who will bring Russia to regain the time of its greatness, as in the era of Soviet Union. If you wake up with the light heart and mind, as light as light as the cloud, and you drink a cup of warm milk in the mornings with your baby's laughter in the stroller, for then you feel the world is so happy with its little happiness, it is because you live in a country with a wise leader. But have you ever thought to occasionally dive into your leader's mind who is so nurturing your soul? No? Too bad. I often do that. And I like what is in his mind. Well, you are right. He is Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin makes me agree on at least one thing : that the snow in Russia is different from the U.S. snow.

Holy Femen! Topless activist snatches baby Jesus from Vatican at Christmas. A FEMEN protester disrupted a nativity scene in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, Thursday. The topless activist, who had 'God is a Woman' written on her torso, stole a statue of baby Jesus before the Vatican police could intervene. FEMEN say they are firmly atheist, stating that organised religion reinforces patriarchy.

Dieudonné, Alain Soral - Réconciliation nationale : les propositions de logos. Dieudonné et Alain Soral présentent les très nombreuses propositions de logos reçues pour le parti Réconciliation nationale et font le point sur l’avancée du projet. Il est à noter que le journal en ligne Mediapart, dirigé par le trotskyste Edwy Plenel, a souhaité participer au concours de logos via l'un de ses blogs en proposant ceci


Maybe it would be better if the logo is returned to the meaning and steps are being carried out, prefer the vision and mission of the party, so that later, all parties -- both internally and externally -- will understand what is being done by the party. The outside community will understand that mindset revolution is happening. Show that by being outside the circle then your group can afford to objectively and understand the actual condition of the nation. Indicates that you are back to the original purpose of the party establishment, back to the way you should do in your world.

As for the internal side it becomes to have meaning as an invitation, notification of any changes to the program, thus making awareness to improve the direction and goals that have been implemented. Give the meaning of a modern impression, flexibility, follow the changing times without leaving the noble values of the wealth of the nation, pluralistic and universal.

Globalization makes the party's introduction  into a product which must be introduced and generally known. Introduce its quality. A way, and not connote party of human to be equated with the goods, but the emphasis of a way to promote to the public as a first step to achieve the party's goal. This method can explicitly introduce more value owned by your party, competitive value and the value of excellence that makes the difference from the other party.

Thus the party analogy with the product's introduction, making it easier to do marketing in accordance with the theories of marketing management which scientifically valid. Strengthen brand image, creating a new and better image, building the image. Of course, all of this will go well if all the elements in it move forward in the same step, in one breath, in one soul in the vision and mission.

Consolidation, self improvement and unification of the vision and mission into the main program for the internal. Give the highest award for all the good intentions to change for the better. May this be the beginning for the next step, step to achieve good in a good way, so that all the people and of course, God bless you. Mwah! I kiss you tenderly in my mind. Mwah.

Um, by the way, how's your penis today? Is it quite happy at this Christmas, hm? Well, may peace be always with you: your bald head & your sexy penis. Merry Christmas, good French man. Merry Christmas, good France penis. Mwah.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

VIRGINIA SATIR
(American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
