► 1 January 2015 : You rams excel at initiating new activities rather than finishing them, making this your kind of day. You look forward to the future with great anticipation, especially since an optimistic Jupiter-Mars opposition gives you an energetic boost. Although so much cosmic encouragement makes it difficult to cut back your busy schedule, be careful that you don't exhaust yourself. Fortunately, with just a little bit of forethought, you can still have a fantastic time while pacing yourself for the long haul.
► 2 January 2015 : You might be incredibly busy today, even if you don't get very much accomplished. You're more interested in pursuing a sparkly new person or a fresh idea than you are in finishing your work. Unfortunately, this kind of irresponsible attitude can stir up the ire of a coworker who wants you to hold up your end of the deal. Avoid causing unnecessary trouble now by fulfilling your promises before doing anything else. Exercising self-discipline early in the day gives you the chance to embark on an intellectual exploration later on.
► 3 January 2015 : You feel as if you're a salmon swimming upstream in a storm today as the currents of circumstance hinder your progress. Although you're quick to blame others for your predicament, the real struggle originates within you. You might act like an ostrich and bury your head in the sand, pretending that you don't see what's happening. But as you know, denial won't solve anything -- nor will you be able to maintain this posture for long. Instead, be ruthless as you drag your fears out into the light of day. Self-awareness is the key to positive change.
► 4 January 2015 : Your current dependency on others makes you feel uneasy since you usually take pride in your self-sufficiency. But today's nurturing Cancer Full Moon lands in your 4th House of Security, reminding you how much you need people in your life. You must find a way to balance your love of freedom with your desire for healthy relationships. Play out all the possibilities in the safety of your mind, but don't over-commit in haste just to get what you want in the moment. Your chosen path is not an easy one now, but practicing patience and trusting the process can lead to happiness.
► 5 January 2015 : A conflict between your head and your heart could drain some of your enthusiasm today. You know what's best for you, but you're pulled in another direction, nonetheless. You often make the smartest choices by spontaneously reacting to the current circumstances, but this time may be an exception. Self-restraint is rewarded; you're better off listening to logic than to your intuition now. Make a rational decision and put your choice into action only after you sort out the facts.
► 6 January 2015 : You can get quite a lot done today -- more so than usual -- thanks to a weird influx of focused energy that feels different than your usual boisterous, direct power. Make the most of it! You may grow bored with your work today unless you can figure out how to own your vision of the future. The lively Leo Moon activates your 5th House of Self-Expression, encouraging you to share your feelings, even if it means rattling some cages in the process. But putting your plan into motion might require more preparation than you want to invest. Don't let difficult odds stop you; creative thinking enables you to discover the best way to manifest a magical solution.
► 7 January 2015 : Complications in a relationship probably won't diminish the intensity of your current connection. Unfortunately, trouble may develop if emotional or geographical distance raises issues of abandonment. However, defending yourself by assuming a self-protective posture isn't the answer. Overcome your resistance and open your heart to the unknown. Your positive attitude is your best weapon in your ongoing battle for happiness.
► 8 January 2015 : Your attention is directed at getting ahead on the job now that the fun is winding down. Of course, it makes sense to organize your life and focus on your career as much as possible. But don't become so intent on your goals that you miss out on an amazing experience that's right in front of your nose. Take care of business today but don't turn down an opportunity for personal enjoyment. Adding a bit of mischief into the mix inspires you to put even more effort into your work.
► 9 January 2015 : Your irrepressible idealism won't save you from the potential trouble caused by your irreverent behavior as you seek out the next adrenaline rush. You may be so excited that you lose track of your common sense and serious problems can arise if you don't stop to think before you act. However, a carefully calculated gamble might prove to be a lot of fun if you remember to take the necessary precautions along the way. Better safe than sorry.
► 10 January 2015 : Someone close needs your help -- so step up and give them what they need. Your energy is driving you in a million directions at once, but if you can focus for a bit, you can make a real difference.
► 11 January 2015 : Avoid the impulse to critique every little thing today -- there are enough people doing that! Just make sure that you're available when others ask you for advice. Then you can be free with criticism.
► 12 January 2015 : It's a great time to start up on something new -- maybe a new business venture, or maybe something as simple as a new way to organize your work. Things are sure to move forward quickly. You might blast ahead with your original plans even though they could lead to trouble. Ironically, your common sense is working fine today; the problem is your temptation to fearlessly overrule reason with your desires. Fortunately, you can minimize the negative impact of your carelessness by repeatedly reminding yourself to slow down and think about what you're doing. It may sound like a familiar warning, but the sky is the limit if only you stop to acknowledge your immediate surroundings.
► 13 January 2015 : Push away your own concerns or needs and try instead to just take care of your people. It actually works to your advantage in the long run, so don't feel as if you're doing yourself a disservice. A friend or coworker might tell you something that you prefer not to hear today, but you're so involved with talking about your career plans or a specific project that you don't even notice. Instead of being wrapped up in your own version of the story, refocus your attention on the point that others are trying to get across. Carry the light of your awareness when stepping into the shadows that appear in front of you. You have the power to transform your fear into courage if you're willing to give change a chance.
► 14 January 2015 : You feel a bit quieter than usual today -- and there's nothing wrong with that! Use this time to focus on internal issues and see if you can come up with good answers to intensely personal questions. You seem to be growing increasingly impatient each day, especially if someone is more interested in getting to the bottom of your current feelings than moving on to whatever happens next. You might feel as if you're trapped. Nevertheless, investing your time to delve into an emotional issue might be exactly what the doctor ordered. Set aside your desire for personal satisfaction for a couple of days. Finish up old relationship business now before distracting yourself with something shiny and new.
► 15 January 2015 : You're getting signals from the universe that are not exactly to your liking -- but you can still cope with them. In fact, you may not even be fully conscious of them, so try to just relax and breathe. You might blast ahead with your original plans even though they could lead to trouble. Ironically, your common sense is working fine today; the problem is your temptation to fearlessly overrule reason with your desires. Fortunately, you can minimize the negative impact of your carelessness by repeatedly reminding yourself to slow down and think about what you're doing. It may sound like a familiar warning, but the sky is the limit if only you stop to acknowledge your immediate surroundings. Your natural restlessness prompts you to blast your way forward no matter what the signs are saying; however, this isn't a winning strategy today. Your key planet Mars is telling you that all systems are go, yet your path seems to be blocked now, nonetheless. You don't have to add to the frustration by trying so valiantly to overpower the current obstacles. Make the most of the stressful cosmic energy by creating a long-term plan to clear the road ahead before progressing further. Work smarter, not harder.
► 16 January 2015 : Your energy is fiery and searching for new cultural excitement. It's not that hard for you to find new stuff to do even on a bad day, but you need to raise the bar and really go nuts today. You may be thinking about heading to your dream destination with the Moon moving through your 9th House of Faraway Places. But this isn't just about a vacation. You are on a mission as you search for your special place on Earth. Forget about immediate gratification; this journey is important enough that you shouldn't take no for an answer now, even if you can't follow through on your explorations yet. Setting your sights on the horizon is a good place to start, but it will take hard work and determination if you want to make your dream come true.
► 17 January 2015 : The incoming waves of excitement are so palpable that they could distract you from your previous plans. Your bigger-than-life fantasies keep your anticipation level high, even as you face pressure to meet your current obligations. Obviously, there are unchangeable circumstances, so accept reality as it is and just get busy. Don't worry about missing the big one; the truth is you won't be able to avoid it.

Dear friends!
A new year, 2015, is to begin in a few moments.
As usual, we are looking forward to this holiday with great emotion, we are making wishes, exchanging gifts and feel joyful about this wonderful tradition of seeing in the New Year in the company of our families, dear ones and friends. This atmosphere of kindness, attention and generosity keeps our hearts warm and opens them up to good thoughts and noble deeds and inspires hope.
Of course, at this very moment each of us keeps in mind first and foremost the prosperity of one’s family and wishes good health and happiness to the next of kin. It is the happiness and success of each individual that Russia's prosperity rests upon.
Love of the Motherland is one of the strongest and noble feelings. To the full extent it manifested itself in the fraternal support for the people of Crimea and Sevastopol after they had firmly made up their mind to get back home. That event will forever remain a most important milestone in the national history.
Dear friends!
Now, as we look back on the outgoing year, I would like to sincerely thank you for unity and solidarity, for the profound feelings of truth, honesty, justice and responsibility for the future of the country, for the unflagging readiness to stand up for the interests of Russia, to be with it in the days of triumph and in the times of trial, and to work for the success of our boldest and most ambitious plans.
Just several years ago the idea of holding Winter Olympics in Sochi had looked like a dream. It has not just come true: we managed to not only prepare for and host the best-ever Winter Olympics, but also to emerge the winner. That victory is a merit of all citizens of our country: the Olympic athletes and those who supported them.
In the coming year we will have to jointly address quite a few tasks. The new year's shape is in our own hands, it will depend on how effectively, creatively and productively each of us will be doing one’s job. There are just no other recipes. We must accomplish and implement every single plan of ours - for our own sake, for the sake of our children, and for the sake of Russia.
Friends! The New Year is on the doorstep. Time is ripe to see it in and to say the warmest words to the dear ones. It's time to thank them for understanding, faithfulness, patience and care. The more kindness and love there is, the more confident and stronger we will be. We will certainly achieve success.
Happy New Year!

■ 1 January 2015 : Bikini-clad Heidi Klum, 41, looks giddy in love while snuggling with Vito Schnabel, 28, on New Year's Eve holiday in St. BartsDahling, I have a true love for you, with better quality than what is intended as "love" by Heidi Klum to Vito Schnabel. You know I always doubt the love quality of American celebrities to their partner. They -- for sex and fun -- can change their lover as replacing old items with new ones. And I know I can do this (love you completely) because I've been getting your love with the best quality as well. With you, I have a partner who is not only great in bed, dining table and workspace, but I also have the safest hiding place for me in you. Thank you for your understanding to play very flexible with a very difficult word to me, to this day: marriage.

Ahahaha, you see? Many celebrities in America are not good at choosing their partners. They have a lot of money and luck in their careers, but even so, their money is not fully able to make them easily get what they want.

It's a very hypocritical coverage! In America, people of all ages and sexes can freely use weapons and kill anyone who desirable to die freely, although they shoot others without plausible reasons and motives, and the killers are not called terrorists. But if you are Muslims and they -- freely and with the pretext of freedom of expression -- insult your prophet by making insulting caricatures and ye angry, and ye --- of course --- also freely express your anger by killing those who have insulted you, assuming that what you want is only to eliminate forever the source of your pain, then they will easily point to you : You are a terrorist! And you will be hunted down as terrorists. It means, if you die in the hunt, then those who have killed you never labeled as a terrorist, but a hero.
Then they will be busy making a press statement blah blah blah, just for a classic hidden problem: they do not like Islam. Whereas, anyway, you know it, the Muslims never insult other religions like what Charlie Hebdo cartoonists do to Islam, because Islam upholds the differences between religions. "To you, your religion is your religion, and for me, my religion is my religion". I uphold this principle.
Honestly, I do not fully understand what they respond with a very patriotic with this case. But this incident can be a lesson for how you act: Do not measure other people's body size based on your body's size, if you do not want other people's body size will be measured on your body, okay?
Now you have died, Stephane Charbonnier. Good-bye, good-rest in peace. Hopefully you can learn to appreciate the meaning of your life after you die. Use the freedom in your life more responsibly, because the dimension of life is more complex than the dimensions of death. After you die, you do not need to brag about freedom of expression, because you have been freed from all the problems of freedom in your life.
So, as long as we are still alive, please be careful in thought, expression and action. I hope this incident will create a deterrent effect to anyone who in the name of freedom has intentionally hurt another person's feelings. Using their own theory, then, please respect the freedom of others to express what they feel, right?
Note: I have a feeling, but I do not like crying for no plausible reason. Solidarity? Well, so-so, but tolerance is also important. This means, you will look ridiculous when showing your solidarity to the dead, who during his life did not apply his tolerance for other faiths.
I see they're trying to dictate an impression to be adhered together, that, as if this is the first cruelty made by humans, damn. Well, the injustice here is: if you are Muslim, then whatever we do to you, you are not allowed to protest, including if we insult your prophet. We are killing and wounding you with our cartoonist pens, because we do not have weapons like you have and you do not have sharp pens (as sharp with the sword when wielding your heart) as our cartoonist. Now we are both dead. And there is nothing better than what we play, right?
Mmm, I'm also not sure they know exactly who is behind this attack. You know it, they always will accuse all directions to justify their covert mission. Moreover, when this photo was published to the public, I did not see them directly but I just read it online while having breakfast with my baby. Sweet heart, finish your breakfast. Later, if you become a great man, do not be a terrorist, okay? Mommy will be mad at you if you do it.
Eehhehee.... what is the definition of a terrorist, Cisca? Every day they say it : in front of your dinner plate, in your book, in your radio, in your morning paper, on your television, and now, in front of your baby. So, prepare a correct answer if on one day your baby will ask you, "What is a terrorist, mommy?"

► SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY : Thomas Piketty : New thoughts on capital in the twenty-first century. French economist Thomas Piketty caused a sensation in early 2014 with his book on a simple, brutal formula explaining economic inequality: r is greater than g (meaning that return on capital is generally higher than economic growth). Here, he talks through the massive data set that led him to conclude: Economic inequality is not new, but it is getting worse, with radical possible impacts. Published on Oct 6, 2014 by TED : Thomas Piketty: New thoughts on capital in the twenty-first century
► NEWS & POLITICS : Thomas Piketty on Wealth, Income and Inequality. The Economic Policy Institute and the Washington Center for Equitable Growth host a presentation by Thomas Piketty—economist from the Paris School of Economics and ground-breaking researcher on income inequality—of the findings in his new book, Capital in the Twenty-First Century. His presentation is followed by a panel discussion moderated by Heather Boushey, Executive Director and Chief Economist of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, with Josh Bivens, Research and Policy Director of the Economic Policy Institute, Robert M. Solow, Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Betsey Stevenson, Member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, serving as discussants.
Piketty examines data from more than twenty countries spanning in some cases as far back as the 18th century to assess the dynamics of income and wealth distribution, with a particular focus on the role of capital ownership as a driver of long-run trends in income inequality. He argues that when the rate of return on capital exceeds the rate of economic growth, as it has for most of history, then rising income inequality becomes inevitable. He says that if this rising inequality is allowed to continue unchecked, the results could be deep political and social disruption.
While Piketty notes that inequality has different dimensions across countries, he concludes with a recommendation: significantly increase the progressivity of both income and wealth taxation. Given the extraordinarily globalized market for capital, he further argues that the reach of such taxes must be global as well. Capital in the Twenty-First Century, already a best seller, is an invaluable contribution to how we understand inequality and its possible consequences. The book, which has already focused the attention of economists like no other work in recent decades, will be available for purchase at the event. We very much hope you can join us. This event is free to the public. Streamed live on Apr 15, 2014 by Economic Policy Institute

■ Russia 'may face chaos' if extra sanctions imposed: Germany Haha, do not get too passionate to trouble others, damn! America, I know your bad character: you feel you will be in trouble if you see Russia is happy, and you feel you will be happy when you see Russia is in trouble. It only takes one easy thing to describe you: happy to see others unhappy, and unhappy to see others happy.
But you know one thing more important? Russia can cripple your economy by leaving your dollar in its trade with its main business partners in Asia such as China and India. Economics and business can only thrive in a stable socio-political conditions, and in this case both of you and EU are in different conditions. Eastern region (Asia) is more stable to encourage the growth of the economy and business. European economy is still in the entanglement of the crisis, while China, for example, grows rapidly. You, including the West, begin to reap the economic losses due to your sanctions against Russia because all sanctions have no effect on the east (Asia). That's why the current Russian economy (investment, exports, imports and technology) is growing to the east. Russia has decided to develop its business relations with Asian countries. India, for example, has now become a business partner of military equipment, especially for the high-tech segment. Meanwhile, Russia's relations with China based on the natural resources sector, engineering, and military technology.
I know you're afraid of China, and China just loves Russia, not to you! And you surely know, China's economic growth is directly or indirectly will provide great benefit to Russia. I am sure, your & EU sanctions can even strengthen the position of developing countries, including Russia. Local industry can actually thrive due to external factors. You and the EU only have a short-term thinking to dominate the market, including Russia's economy. That' s why you will always annoy Russia if Russia shows its independence stance in determining its own economic policy. With the prospect of high economic growth in Asia compared with Europe, the establishment of "Asian Capital Markets" is possible and can be a serious contender for New York and London. And for Russia, as a country rich in energy resources, will be the driving force that deserves to be taken into account.
China's economy will be able to influence Chinese policy makers to make new oil and gas market along with Russia, which is free from dependence on you and the west. In the new global oil market formed by Russia, along with China, and India as well as one of the country's largest oil consumer, they can just leave your dollar as their payment instrument and replace it with their own currencies: rubles, yuans and rupees. In situations like this, your currency will sink and you also lose your influence, you will be like the dew drops on a leaf when the sun is dawning. Beautiful, is not it?

And I'm not asking you, Mr. Obama, because I know you do not have the answer!

Saudi Arabia? Ah, America, to it, you can only bite your lip. If Saudi Arabia personified as a woman, then -- of course-- she is a jealous woman, you know? Eehhehe, I imagine this joke, you are a flirtatious man from the west surrounded by the Middle East women and all of them are willing to be your concubines, ehehehe .... but Saudi Arabia is also a lesbian. She wants you to play in between her and Bahrain (Saudi Arabia lesbian friend), whereas you're trying to smile sweetly at two other beautiful from the Middle East: Iran and Syria. Unfortunately, the last two women I mention here have been attracted by Russia's masculinity, and all these things eventually make Israel feel to be a perfect woman for you in the Middle East, although sometimes you feel bored with the type of woman like Israel, ahahahaa ...
Oh oh ho, dahling, see! See! You see it? How ridiculous the U.S. role in the Middle East. But slowly but surely I feel that all of these probably because unwittingly America loves the big brown eyed women, such as Iran, Afghanistan, and many beautiful women eyes that you see as part of Arab clump. Well, those with eyes like my eyes, right? Ahahahhahaaa ... As you say whenever you're seducing me and tell me that one thing you like most of my face is my eyes, ahahas... dahling, you are really as stupid as the U.S seems.

Well, a concern arises in the midst of democratization in religious communities, both in developing and in developed countries. At least this phenomenon is evidenced by two important things: strengthening the wings of political Islam and a stronger tendency of radical groups that carries violence as one of their movement's core, particularly violence in addressing the differences and diversity.
Le Pen, if what you highlight in a wave of fundamentalism is just Islam and even then you tend to be negative, you are somewhat less fair, because fundamentalism also exists in every religion. In view of the post-modern, religion should be tolerant of plurality. Religion is not an abstract idea but a system associated with the scientific philosophical values and not connected with the mere ideological interests.
Unfortunately, Western thinkers often truncated in understanding religion, especially Islam, and they themselves are often inconsistent with their own statement. They talk about plurality or tolerance, but in discussing Islam they often tendentious and do not understand the "basic philosophies" of true Islamic theology. Islam is often imaged and understood as a source of violence, because there is disturbed interests if Islam is growing more fertile. They are so afraid of Islam, and unfortunately it is not from Islam itself, but from the interpretation of each group.
Many people think tricky about Islam, whereas, Islam is simple. In addition to teaching things unseen, Islam also teaches biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, mathematics, culture, environment (how to treat a blade of grass and an ant), economic law, ethics and selling (in the market, either narrow or broad sense ), governance, democracy, social ethics, and even ethics in intercourse are taught. You get rid of the stones in the road? Yes it is Islam. Islam is not only tangible in such symbol: cap, turban, black forehead, beads, robes, etc., but the teachings of concrete that anyone can do it. About fundamentalist, yes of course Muslims must be fundamentally, it means to believe and do things fundamental (basic), ie activities or actions that have been specified its terms and pillars.
Islam offers a dialectic with social change, and therefore we are encouraged to try and think hard. Islam is a system of values, and social reality is its nature, so there is no problem. In short, what would be offered by the West with its knowledge has long been taught by Islam. So, what exactly does this lady want to talk about?

ALAIN SORAL : Entretien avec Alain Soral sur l'arrestation de Dieudonné et la liberté d'expression en France.
La garde à vue de l'humoriste Dieudonné, suite à un message publié par ce dernier sur les réseaux sociaux où il ironisait à propos de l'affaire Charlie Hebdo en disant qu'il se sentait «Charlie Coulibaly», a provoqué un tollé chez ses partisans et même parfois au-delà. Ils soulignent l'inégalité de traitement entre Dieudonné qui est persécuté par le pouvoir en place et Charlie Hebdo qui, depuis quelques années, bénéficie d'un soutien sans faille des autorités. Nous avons recueilli la réaction d'Alain Soral.
Alain Soral, quelle est votre réaction à l'arrestation de Dieudonné le 14 janvier dernier?
Je pense que cette arrestation pour un tweet ambigu, discutable, mais dont il faudrait justement discuter, est tout simplement la preuve que nous assistons en France à une sorte de coup d'État perpétré par le gouvernement de monsieur Valls!
Un coup d'État policier, profitant de l'immense émotion qu'ont suscitée en France les derniers attentats, pour museler illégalement un opposant au régime. Régime actuel qui se caractérise par une soumission chaque jour accrue au pouvoir et aux intérêts américano-sionistes, contre les intérêts objectifs de la France, tant sur la question du Moyen-Orient et de l'Afrique centrale, que de la Russie…
Par l'obscénité que constitue l'arrestation d'un comique métis populaire et talentueux, pour une phrase, au moment même où l’on prétend mener un combat sans concession pour la liberté d'expression, cette opération policière, politique et médiatique nous place effectivement face à une réelle opération de terreur. Une opération de terreur policière, politique et médiatique menée contre le peuple de France par le sionisme international et l'impérialisme américain, dont tous les analystes sérieux, muselés par les médias dominants, démontrent depuis des années qu’ils sont in fine les seuls bénéficiaires d'un « terrorisme islamiste » dont ils sont aussi, via diverses médiations, les machiavéliques commanditaires…
Je rappelle en outre que les trois terroristes supposés ayant été promptement mis à mort, comme dans toutes les opérations du même ordre (affaire Merah, attentats de Londres, de Madrid…) manipulant des petits délinquants au profil identique, nous sommes donc obligés de croire sur parole la version officielle véhiculée par les médias de masse, quand une volonté authentique de démantèlement des réseaux islamistes aurait dû conduire nos forces spéciales – qui en ont largement les moyens – à tout faire pour les prendre vivant, afin de les faire parler…
Le «deux poids deux mesures» qui caractérise l'attitude de ce gouvernement est de plus en plus insupportable et flagrant. Il faudrait être aveugle pour ne pas voir que le dernier tweet d'Elfassi est une incitation au meurtre à l'encontre de Dieudonné et de vous-même. Est-ce que vous comptez apporter une réponse judiciaire? Ne serait-ce que pour démontrer une fois de plus l'iniquité de la justice si elle en venait à classer cette affaire sans suite?
Tout à fait, j'ai chargé mon avocat d'engager toutes les poursuites nécessaires, et pas seulement contre Elfassi ;des plaintes avec constitution de partie civile, afin d’être sûr que ces personnes – dont monsieur Haziza – soient au moins convoquées par un juge d'instruction. Même si le lobby sioniste passe de plus en plus en force et se croit tout permis dans nos territoires occupés, nous sommes encore officiellement en France dans un état de droit!
Jean-Marie Le Pen a été le seul homme politique à défendre la liberté d'expression, notamment en soulignant le traitement défavorable infligé à Dieudonné. Qu'est ce que cela révèle de l'état de la classe politique en France?
Jean-Marie Le Pen a été aussi le seul à prévenir et à annoncer, depuis 40 ans, tout ce qui allait arriver! Ce qui n'empêche pas l'ensemble de la classe politique de reprendre aujourd'hui sans vergogne un discours qu'ils fustigeaient hier, tout en continuant à l'insulter! Ce qui se passe en ce moment, de façon si visible, ne fait que valider ce que je dis et ce que j'écris moi-même depuis plus de douze années. À savoir que le pouvoir sioniste a marginalisé, depuis le milieu des années 80, tout ce qui ne se soumettait pas à lui en France, et a promu tous les soumis, tous les crétins qui lui permettent aujourd'hui de régner sans partage ni aucune retenue. Le petit chien d'attaque Manuel Valls, officiellement chef du gouvernement français, mais «éternellement attaché à Israël» selon ses propres dires, en est l'illustration parfaite autant qu'indiscutable, pour notre plus grande honte et notre malheur!
Vous possédez également la nationalité suisse. Pourriez-vous être tenté par l'exil pour ne plus subir les persécutions judiciaires et les menaces de toutes sortes, qui peuvent vous empêcher de travailler de façon plus sereine?
Je ne l'envisage pas pour le moment, mais je ne vous cache pas que je fais très attention à ma sécurité!
En janvier 2013, Téhéran avait décidé de répondre aux provocations de Charlie Hebdo, qui jugeait amusant de caricaturer le prophète Mohamed, en organisant un concours international de caricatures sur la Shoah. Que pensez-vous, a posteriori, de cette initiative?
Initiative très taquine, puisqu'elle a permis de démontrer, à ceux qui ont encore un cerveau pour comprendre, que le pouvoir occidental ment, quand il prétend que les démocraties avancées mettent la liberté au-dessus du blasphème et du sacré, alors que c'est simplement l'interdit religieux qui s'est déplacé. Le tout-puissant lobby sioniste, en même temps qu'il mettait au pas la chrétienté – et aujourd'hui l'islam – ayant peu à peu érigé, en remplacement, la Shoah comme religion du mondialisme…

X-mas 2014
Actually the boundary between narrow and broad stuck in your mind. "If you are always grateful for all the pleasure of God, then God will lift the narrowness of your hearts and minds. "he explained.
And before he went home, he asked him, "Do you often to pray?"
"Yes." the man replied.
"Well, know this, your prayer should not be accepted by God, because when God opens the doors of understanding to you and when he does not give you, then no gift is the true gift.
