The Air, My Friend

How do you think, we compared, to those, lower orders of, living organisms, by our means in mistreatments of them, huh???  The column by Jimmi Liao, translated by me…

I’d Caught a Pretty Human,

Placed Her in a Jar, Took Her Home with Me

Worry Not, All,

I will Certainly, Puncture Some Tiny Holes on the Lid

So She Can Live Long & Well, Having the Fresh Air to, Breathe

Well, that’s, a HELL of a LOT, gentler, than how we do it, isn’t it?  I mean, we humans put what we caught inside the jars, and, screw the lid on too tight, and we forget to puncture those, tiny, air holes for the creatures we’d caught and kept, and sometimes, we’d gone, a step farther, shaking those jars, and ask: hey, you DEAD in there???  And what this insect is doing TO a human being, is WAY, WAY, WAY more, merciful…

The Instructor Was Robbed, and Was Sexually Assaulted & Murdered, the Suspect Escaped the Death Penalty & Received Life-in-Prison Instead

How is sexual assault AND murder not considered an “intentional crime with lethal or other extremely grave consequences”???  This is what TSAI wanted to achieve, before she steps down, a FINAL move toward eliminating the death penalty altogether, because the DDP is, too EAGER to get RID of the death penalty for this country…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The retired school instructor who’d received the teaching excellence aware, Chen, ten years ago, when she went grocery shopping, she was robbed at random by the perpetrator, Liu, sexually assaulted, then, murdered, in all of Liu’s trials, the courts gave him the death penalty, but the retrial of his fourth appeal, the collectivist courts found, that Liu’s actions did not fit to the “most severe sort of crime”, and changed his sentence to life in prison, as the families of Chen heard the verdict, they’d stated that this was the, “most awful verdict”, that it’s absolutely unfair toward the families of the victim, that they will, appeal the verdict to the very, end.

here’s a video of the debate on death penalty, from YouTube

On the day of the crime, Liu was going to see his girlfriend, with a hammer, as he passed the Hello Marketplace in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, he saw Chen opening the door to her car, he’d planned to steal her car to use it to go see his girlfriend, but instead, he’d, attacked the female instructor in the head with the hammer, and gotten into the driver’s side, then, dragged the female instructor into the back, sexually assaulted her using his fingers, and, robbed two thousand dollars N.T. from her, then, escaped, eight hours after the robbery and assault, the police discovered Chen, DEAD in her car.

The first trial found Liu guilty for sexual assault, robbery and murder, sentenced him to death, and, of the charges on sexual assault, because the district attorneys and Liu didn’t appeal, it’d been, set, Liu was sent to prison, the robbery murder parts, he’d gone through various retrials, appeals, and all the judges presiding over the cases believed that Liu used such cruel methods, gave him the death penalty on five separate, occasions, his public office post stripped for life.

The Highest Court found, that whether or not the female instructor was robbed because she had two thousand dollars N.T. on her, or that if Liu had the intent to commit murder, there’s need for more investigations on these, that there’s not enough justification for the death penalty, and sent the case back to retrial at the Kaohsiung High Subsidiary Courts, multiple, times.

the people, MARCHING against making death penalty unconstitutional…photo from online

The fourth retrial confirmed, that on the robbery part, other than Liu’s own confessing to it, there’s no other physical evidence, that Liu had randomly selected Chen to victimized, and, killed her in the process of robbing her, that it wasn’t, premeditated, that it’d not fitted to the “most serious sort of crime” clause.

The Collectivist Court based off of the psych evaluation, the assessment of sentencing given, found that Liu only needed to have a strict mean of supervision, his chances of reoffending will be, reduced, it’d, ruled out that he will, never, change, tossed back the original, verdict.

As Chen’s husband, Chang heard the verdict, accused Liu in court, that he’d targeted his wife to rob her, “doesn’t this show premeditation, and that his murder of my wife being, planned?”, the evaluation reports suggested, that there’s a, fifty-two percent chance that Liu might reoffend again, the justice disregarded the results of the evaluation, Liu committed the crime at the age of forty-seven, and is sentenced to life in prison, based off of the parole terms, he can get out of prison in his sixties, the justice had returned a murderer, a rapist back into the local communities, “Taiwan has no criteria for doing away with the death penalty”.

And this is still due to the DDP’s eager to get rid of the death penalty, and, these murderers will get released back to the wild after twenty years served, and, they will, surely kill again, because, this man committed the murder and the sexual assault in the spur of the moment, and who’s to say, that he won’t have that spur of the moment feel, after he got released, after he’d fitted to his, parole terms?  And, the life-in-prison is still BULLSHIT, because, these MURDERERS, RAPISTS will get set free into the “wild” after ten, twenty years served, because they can get paroled for “good behaviors” in prison, or that the prison is overcrowded, making this world that much more, dangerous to live in.

Vertebrates Dwelling in the Cities, a Poem

The wildlife, invading into the cities, because we were the ones, taking their, natural habitats, away first!  The effects of us humans, invading into the natural world here…translated…

This is Either a Double-Blind or a Single-Blind Experiment

The Hamster in the Laboratory Have No Clue

Before the Dawn Breaks, He’d Dreamed about the Exercise Wheels

His Cheeks, Full of Seeds

Like the Twitching of the Infantile, with Eyes Wide Open

Almost Couldn’t Take

The Confusion and Bliss that are in the, Now

this is, what’s happening in the N-O-W! With their natural habitats being, destroyed, they, MIGRATE to where the foods are, where WE live! Photo from online

Like the Homo sapiens Who’d Stumbled to Walk Upright

Headed into that Cold Mist

He Will be Digging, and Hoarding

Whether it There’s the Antidote Hidden in the Ground

The Parrot that Showed Off its Crown

Using that High-Pitched Voice Like an Objector

Complained in the Anguish Upset of that Young Child

Not Toward the Conditions of Global Warming Nor the Virtues

He’d, Eventually Adapted to the Concrete Jungle

As the Winter Days Sun Made its Wing Flutters Halted

bringing the hunting season to us all-year-round…photo from online

A Lesson to Demonstrate to the World Begins

He’d Pried Open that Garbage Can Covered in Dews

Picked out the Crusts of Toasts, the Peels, and Chicken Bones

Made a Jambalaya of Dawn that’s

Lost its Persistence, but Still with Enough to Withstand the Wears & Tears

And so, this, is what wildlife looked like, living in the, cities, they ADAPT themselves, to eating things that aren’t their, original “regular” diets, because we humans, are invading into their, natural habitats, forcing them, to ADAPT to our ways of, life!

The Support Palestine Protests Became a Wildfire, Biden May Follow the Footsteps of Johnson

Just like during the Vietnam War Era, as the protests back then was ongoing, Biden could, stay a bystander, but now, he can’t, he needed to make a stand, and, which side he states he is on, will be the, determinant of how much he will, lose the elections coming up in November…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Supporting Freedom of Speech, and Criticized the Anti-Semitic Beliefs, The New York Times: the Democrats Had Offended the Younger Generations of Voters, Giving the Guns to the Republicans

In the U.S., Columbia University students started protesting against the Israeli in the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, this reminded us of the 1968 anti-Vietnam War protest in Columbia University, back then, the president of the U.S., Biden is a law student not too far from Columbia University, studying in the law department of Syracuse, he’d selected to be a bystander back then, but this time, he can, no longer be, a bystander.

The Students Rebutted: Anti-Israel isn’t Anti-Semitic

Toward the protesting students in Columbia University, Biden criticized Anti-Semitism, but the students stated, that they weren’t, anti-Semitic, only against the Jews setting up a country, against how the Israeli government was, massacring the Palestinian civilians, so long as U.S. continued to provide the weapons to Israel, Biden will continue being the target of the, protests.  Back in 1968, Johson from the Democratic Party had, lost the election because of the anti-war protests of the students, Biden, who’d been, compared to Johnson quite often, can he, avoid having the same fate, befalling, him?

The New York Times reported, the students who occupied the Hamilton Hall of Columbia University were chased off the premises by the police on the thirtieth of April, and in April of 1968, the anti-Vietnam War protest students took the exact same hall, at the time, Biden was about to graduate from the law department of Syracuse, he’d recalled later, that protesting, using the mottos, and wearing the dyed shirt wasn’t his style, “I’m a law student, in my sports jacket”.  Biden didn’t get drafted, because he had severe asthma.

Fifty-six years later, Biden can no longer, stand by.  Many of the universities across the U.S., the students expressed their anger of the attacks on Gaza by Israel, and Biden became one of the targets of the students’ protests too.  This is an election year, Biden needs to handle the politics of American university campuses with great care, to NOT walk in Johnson’s footsteps.

Biden Nicknamed “Genocide Joe”

The past few days, Biden was really careful in speaking, he’d supported that the students have the right to exercise free speech, at the same time, he’d, criticized the anti-Sematic sentiments toward the Jewish students.  But, Biden became, hated by both sides, the supporters of Palestinians called him “Genocide Joe”, even the supporters of Trump, his presidential opponent began referring to him as such as well.  The Republican politicians blamed him for being too weak toward the students in protests, and Biden tried his best, to avoid criticizing the students in protests himself.

After the protesters occupied Hamilton Hall, Biden didn’t immediately comment, instead, the WH spokesperson, Kirby criticized, “This is unacceptable behavior”.

with the protesters behind him, he’s still “not at liberty to comment”…photo from online

The New York Times points out, that the protests supporting Palestine puts Biden into two political dangers, of one, the left of the Democrats may drifter farther from supporting him, especially the younger generations who’d voted him in the last election, and the younger generations ARE, the key determinant of whether or not he will get reelected, again.  Another, it’d given the Republicans more justification to state, that the one who’d messed up the federal government of the United States, as well as international relations is Biden, NOT Trump, this may cause Biden to lose the support from the undecided voters.

Compared to four years ago, the voter support of under age thirty slips very quickly for Biden.  Based off of the Harvard Youth polls in April, Biden’s support dropped to forty-five percent, Trump with thirty-seven, and at the same time back in 2020, Biden was ahead of trump by twenty-three, percent.

The Younger Voters May Switch to Voting for Trump

The Democrat campaign manager stated, that they have faith, that the younger generations of voters will come to the polls and vote for Biden, because the younger generations cared more for the issued on abortion and economy.  And besides, the college semester is ending soon, and the authorities expected that the protests will calm down more or less during the summer vacations, if Biden can help push forth the ceasefire of Israel and Palestine before school starts in the autumn, then, after school begins in autumn, there won’t be any more protests.

here’s one, from the, “cartoons section”…from online

But, you can’t rule out yet how the Biden supportive Arab and younger voters, that they may not come to the polls at all, or switch to voting for Trump, to punish Biden.

In the past, Biden had been compared to Johnson, both had been vice presidents, were agile in pushing forth the amendments, with outstanding results, and now, Biden is stuck in the exact same predicament as Johnson was back then.

Since the start of the Israeli-Hamas War, the Israeli military had continually bombing the Gaza Strip, causing really high death rates among civilians, to the point of blocking the humanitarian resources to enter into the region, causing the Palestinians locally to suffer in despair.  Biden could NOT restrict the PM of Israel, Netanyahu, and continually providing the weapons to the country, making those in the U.S. who’d sympathized with the Palestinians see Biden as an enabler of the war.  The Israeli-Hamas War had severely impacted Biden’s campaign now, if Biden can’t stabilize the situation between Israel and Palestine, then, he may well, become Johnson, in failing in seeking his, second, presidential term.

And so, the WAR became, a SUICIDE for the president of the U.S., because he did NOT want to offend anyone, because he wanted to, maintain his, neutral standpoint, didn’t matter how he felt personally, because he IS, the president of the U.S. right now, so, everything he does, is, being, watched closely, which makes it even harder, because of how the U.S. stands on the side of Israel, because the U.S. had been “friends” with Israel for, how long now?  Despite how Israel is, attempting to, WIPE out the people who are Palestinians.

Palestine Wanted to Join the U.N., Vetoed by the U.S., Twelve Countries Including Russia and China Had Voted Yes, Two Countries Forfeited, with Only U.S. Objecting

And I wonder, W-H-Y???  Oh, because if Palestine was allowed into the “group”, then, there would be NO excuse of how U.S. still, favored, Israel, which will be the END of the money making ventures of the U.S., which won’t be good, that’s why U.S. vetoed this request from Palestine, because, WAR benefits, the country that mass produced, manufactured the weapons, and that would be, Uncle Sam, the OPPORTUNIST!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Didn’t Pass Voting of the National Security Council, the U.S. Argued that the Timing is Off, China Criticized U.S. as Being a Bandit

The National Security Council of the U.N. on the eighteenth voted on formally passing the application of Palestine as a member of the U.N., although Great Britain and Switzerland forfeited their, votes, China, Russia, France, Japan, and eight other member countries voted yes, with only U.S., pocket vetoed the cause.

Based off of U.N., to be included in the U.N., there would be the nomination from the security council, then passing the votes of the members of the U.N.  This means, that there would be a need of at least nine countries that voted yes out of the fifteen of the security council of the U.N., while the five countries that are members of the Security Council didn’t use their veto rights, which meant, that there’s still a need for two-thirds of member countries’ votes to pass.

and, here’s that, DISSECTION, of why it is next to impossible, for Palestine to form its own, “country”, off of YouTube

The ambassador to the U.N. from the U.S., Wood told, that U.S. still strongly supported the “two country act”, that this veto doesn’t mean that the U.S. is against Palestine to form its own country.  The U.S. believes, that Palestine’s status as a country should be admitted through a series of face-to-face negotiations of the related parties.

The chair of Palestine self-government, Abbas criticized the U.S. for being unfair, and stated “terrorism shall not be, rewarded”.  The ambassador from Israel, Erdan criticized the twelve countries that voted yes, that the votes will only, encourage the Palestinians “objections and make them keep on fighting”.

The U.N. Ambassador from Algeria, Bendjama stated, this vote that didn’t go through, is letting the guilty not be punished.  This is a “shame that will follow us forever”.

The spokesperson of Chinese Diplomatic Relations, Lin on the nineteenth criticized U.S. for going backwards.  The Chinese U.N. Ambassador, Fu told, that the countries that voted against Palestine for not having the ability to run itself as an independent country, this is bullish logic that confused right from wrong.  The dreams of the Palestinians for decades had been, shattered completely, China is, more than disappointed with the U.S.

And in this, we have to wonder, why the FUCK (don’t pardon my FRENCH!) would the U.S. vote against Palestine for setting up its own country?  And the only reason that’s, logical is that it does NOT want to get on the bad side of Israel, despite how Israel had been the one, trying to take over the land of Palestine, which dated back to…uh, how long ago again was it, when back in the days, the U.S. decided, that Jerusalem belonged to Israel, preventing Palestine for setting up its own, country to rule itself.  And you still think, that U.S. has the “right of way” in all of this?  Yeah right, and you ALL need to, WAKE up already!!!

Iran Claimed to Retaliate Against Israel, within Twenty-Four Hours’ Time at the Soonest

It still does NOT matter, WHO hit WHOM first, that first PUNCH had already been, THROWN, and now, the ABUSER/ENABLER interaction style shall, keep on, rolling down…on the WARS of this god DAMN world here!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Iran Passed the Messages to the U.S., that They Won’t Haste to Decision, Suspected to Use a Surrogate to Begin the Fights, U.S. Called Out China and Other Countries to Try and Persuade Iran to Start a War

Israel had air-raided the Syrian Embassy on the first, the Iranians already threatened retaliation.  The Wall Street Journal on the eleventh quoted someone, that Israel is preparing for a twenty-four or forty-eight hour immediate retaliation on Iran.  Another individual who received intel from higher up in Iran stated, that Tehran is currently discussing the plans of attack, but hadn’t decided on what they would do yet.

The air raid of Israel had caused eleven deaths, including multiple higher up military officials of the IRGC.  American intel showed, that the Iranian or the surrogates of Iran, will be attacking Israel and Israeli assets soon.  But someone with the intel stated, that the attacks may happen within the borders of Israel, and not anywhere, else.

A consultant of IRGC claimed, that IRGC already proposed several plans, the plans they’re considering include using an advanced missile to attack Israel directly.  But the highest leader, Khomeini hadn’t decided yet, still weighing in the risks of politics.  Khomeini worried that using these forms of retaliation may cause the opposite effects, that the missiles will get hijacked by Israeli or hit, causing Israel to start up the massive retaliation attacks on Iran.

The representative group of Iran to U.N. on the eleventh wrote on Media X of the report, that Tehran must punish Israel for this act, but, if the Security Council of the U.N. reprimanded this behavior, then there would be the punishment from Iranian that they will, avoid.

a video, of the air raid, from YouTube

Reuters quoted multiple Iranian sources, that the head of foreign affairs, Amirabdollahian on his interview on the seventh, sent the following message to D.C., that to prevent the escalation of Iran retaliation of Israel, they would not act rashly, to avoid the escalation of the situation.

The U.S. already made demands on China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other countries, to call out to Iran, to NOT retaliate.  Miller the spokesperson for the State Department, stated, that Blinken recently talked to the heads of foreign affairs of China, Wang and others, “in the past few days, we are working with the European Union and other allies, and asked them to send out the correct message to Iran, to NOT attack hastily, that attacking would NOT be in the favors of Iran (the Middle East) or the global community.”  Russia, Great Britain, and Germany had all ushered the Middle Eastern Countries to prevent a full-blown scale war.

The head of foreign affairs of China, Mao confirmed that he’d spoken with Blinken two evenings ago, Mao told, that in the conversations, Wang stressed that the Chinese strongly reprimanded the Iranian attack on the Syrian Embassy, stressed that the diplomatic offices’ safety can’t be, destroyed, that the rights of Iran and Syria should be respected by all.

Currently, only two western airlines continued to fly to Tehran, the German Lufthansa Airline stated that there will not schedule any flights before the eighteenth; and subsidiary of the Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines continued the flights on the eleventh, but they’re adjusting the schedules.

The Pentagon announced, the U.S. Central Command Commander, Kurilla arrived in Israeli on the eleventh, and is discussing the situation with the head of D.o.D., Gallant, and had conferences with the higher up of military of the country.  Gallant told Austin, that once Iran attacks, Israeli will fight back; Austin reiterated that the support of U.S. for Israeli is strong.

Yeah, and so, this is, what’s, currently going on, in this HUGE CIRCUS M-E-S-S of the ISRAELI-HAMAS conflict right now.  And, there’s this, “new player” of Iran (with tons and loads of NUCLEAR power in the world too, what is it???  No. three, behind China and the U.S now???), and, because you hit me, and I will hit you right back, that’s how they played the “games” of WAR here, and so, this SHIT is still NOT going to end, until, the HIGHER up of both governments, get, KILLED by those fighter planes, dropping them BOMBS down onto the offices of these, higher up, government officials, and, this is still an ABUSER/ENABLER interaction style, I mean, if someone HITS you, would you NOT, hit them back too?  Exactly, and how do YOU, expect that Iran doesn’t HIT Israel back HARDER, now that Israel had started attacking FIRST, huh???

How Can the Alerts be Effective, When When It’s Supposed to Sound Off, and It Didn’t?

Call this, the Johnny-come-Lately ALERT system founded and operated by the DDP here, totally, USELESS, is what this SHIT is!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Because of the geography of Taiwan, on the borders of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippines Sea Plate, and the active fault is all over the island, causing all areas of Taiwan, to be at risk of the threats from earthquakes.  To offer the immediate rescues to the regions, the Central Meteorology System had pushed forth the earthquake alert systems, when the quakes reached to a certain degree, then there would be the alert signals sounding off, and yet, since the system started, it’d, gotten criticized by the people.  Those who’d not received the alerts before the disasters, cried about how they were, border lined by the country, and those who had received the alerts, complained of how the alerts were too loud, when the quakes weren’t, even, severe, enough, and, at these moments of life and death in the earthquakes, we the people want to know, WHAT, is this, national alert system good, for?

this is, the system that’s, used by, Japan…from YouTube

The quakes in Hualien was the most massive in scale since the September 21^st quake, in twenty-five years, and, a lot of people were faced with the moments of life and death, but, this quake caused the problems of loss of functioning in report of the alert systems, and, getting down to the malfunctioning of the alert systems, turned out, that the eastern earthquake detections systems isn’t as spread out evenly as the western side, causing there to be the deviations of the, readings.

It’d been eight years since the national alert systems had been, implemented, and the quakes are happening, frequently in the Hualien, Taidong regions a lot, the experts had, warned of the activities in the eastern side of the island, the activities of the plates, and, clearly, the Department of Meteorology, was still, underprepared for them.

What was ironic was, at the start of the year, when China launched a satellite, the D.o.D. issued an aerial national grade alert, all the cell phones in the country started, sounding, off, and some of the public received the alerts as many as, three, times, and the D.o.D. had, “misspelled” satellite as, missile on its English contents, causing widespread, panic.  Compared to this major earthquake, a lot of those who’d not received the national alerts, missed how the mistaken alert of DDP’s misidentifying the satellite as missile, at least, that was, NOT forgotten by the country.

and here’s the “system” that we the people in Taiwan, RELY, on…in ACTION time! Off of YouTube

The predictions of the quakes, is a race with the plate tectonics movements, a guarantee for the lives, and the safety of the people, there’s the Forward-Looking Infrastructure Development Program had a “Urban Area Precision Estimation Plan of Major Earthquakes”, with the ultimate goals of shortening the time it takes to estimate when an earthquake will, occur, with the island’s, entering into the active cycles of earthquake periods, the Department of Meteorology needed to, tighten up its schedules of development, in shortening the alert times, also, up the precision of the predictions too.

This is, wishful thinking, I mean, we did NOT even get the alerts of yesterday’s earthquake, and it wasn’t until we feel the ground shaking, did we realize “we need to DUCK!”, that is how “precise” the DDP developed systems of alerts is.  And, we might fare better, IF we keep an eye on the, ants, the roaches, the rats, running scattered, to let us know, a MAJOR scale DISASTER is about to, occur, I mean, that would be, a hell of lot more, accurate!

The U.N. Security Council Called for the Israeli-Hamas Ceasefire, Israel Canceled the Visiting Group to the U.S. as a Protest

Like the power of POCKET-VETO for the presidents, and yet, the CONGRESS has the RIGHT to OVERRIDE that, and yet, in this case, because the HEAD HONCHO didn’t want the WAR to END, (b/c how the HELL are they going to continue to sell the weapons that fuel to this war, to make more CASH???), there’s nothing, that the REST of the U.N. member countries can, do, this showed, just how, BULLISH the U.S. truly, is!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Criticisms of U.S.’s Forfeiting Its Votes to Stop the Israeli-Hama’s Conflict, Helping the Hamas, Israeli Government Stated that It Will Keep on Fighting Until ALL the Hostages are Released & Returned Back Home

The National Security Council of the U.N. on the twenty-fifth passed the agreement, and for the first time, demanded that Israel and Hamas ceasefire in the Gaza Strips, in the votes, the U.S. forfeited its right to decide, and not used the powers of vetoing the act, this upset Israel, and Israel stated that it will NOT ceasefire, and announced the cancellation of the plans of the government officials’ visit to the U.S. that’s already been, scheduled.

The voting results were fourteen yeses, no no’s, one vote forfeit, and the demands of ceasefire during Ramadan was made to both Israel and Palestine, and the demands of all hostages being, released.  The secretary of U.N., Guterres stated, “this decision must be followed through, otherwise it would be unforgivable.”

The decisions of the National Security Council is like the international law, with the legally binding, powers, but it can still be ignored technically.  The head of foreign affairs of Israel, Katz said, “we will destroy Hamas, and continue to FIGHT until all the hostages return home safely.”  CNN reported, that the Israeli armed forces continued to air raid northern and southern Gaza on the 26^th.

This voting, the U.S. forfeited, and angered Israel.  During the Israeli-Hamas Conflict, Israel had been reliant on the support of its allies in the National Security Council of the U.N., and the U.S. had three times voted against the decision for the ceasefire.

taking that vote in the U.N. video from YouTube

This decision did NOT blame the behaviors of Hamas attacking Israel on October 7^th of last year, the ambassador to the U.N. from the U.S., Thomas-Greenfield was against this, but she “completely supports” all other proposed goals of the agreement drafted, believed, that “in order for peace to happen permanently”, the only way is to release ALL the hostages, which is why she’d, forfeited her vote.

Israel stated that U.S. in forfeiting this time, it’d given the Hamas the hopes that they can rely on the pressures from other countries, to get the ceasefire started, without having to release any hostages, which “damaged” the efforts to end the war, to get all the hostages released.  The office of the Israeli P.M. stated that this act “clearly is not the American way”, and canceled all schedule for the members of the government to visit the U.S.

This visit to the U.S. was requested by President Biden personally, hoping that the he could discuss an alternative plan with the Israeli government officials, to get an alternative of attacking of the southern city of Rafah to avoid massive civilian fatalities, the spokesperson of the White House, Kirby said it was “regrettable” but reiterated that the policy of U.S. for Gaza hadn’t changed, “we are in support of the ceasefire being a part of the release of the hostages”.

The ambassador to the U.N. from Israel, Erdan criticized how the U.N. did not reprimand Hamas’s massacre on October 7^th, the Palestinian ambassador, Mansour stated, that this decision had fulfilled the moral responsibilities, that he will make sure that the war stops immediately.

So, from all of this, you would wonder, WHY would the U.S. not vote for peace in the Middle East?  I mean, it’s already proven, that NOBODY wins in any war here, and yet, the U.S. still uses its own, power to VETO the proposal for an immediate ceasefire of the Gaza Strips, and, there’s also the hole of how Israel will NOT follow the voting results, on a “technicality” to boot too.  So the Israeli-Hamas “Conflict” (Still downplaying this SHIT!), is still not ending yet, because BIG DADDY refuse to SIGN the contract to stop this SHIT, I mean, why the HELL would Uncle Sam, FLUSH its opportunities to sell more weapons to the “cause”?  Exactly, and in this situation we see, just how FUCKING SELFISH the U.S. truly is, killing EVERY

Seeing Her Companions Get Shot, a Russian Woman Played Dead and That Was What Saved Her, Life

How at the moment when the attack started happening, there’s only one thing people have in their, minds, “I need to SURVIVE!”, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

In the Crocus City Hall, as the tickets for an old-school rock concert was about to go up for sale on the twenty-second, but what those who were standing in line heard, was several rounds of gunshot, followed by the shrilling cries.  Based off of the testimonies of survivors and the stream-live video footages, some of the victims of this mass shooting were lying in blood, and the public flew into a panic, and attempted to escape, some cracked the windows to get out, others played dead to keep their lives.  The fires were set at the location.

Based off of foreign press media, the survivor testified, that after the gunshot sounded off, there were, still three, to four waves of loud screams, with the crowd running all over the places; he’d hidden himself behind the seats, and found his timing to get out, there was the smokes rising.  Another survivor said, at first, when he’d heard the guns, he’d not realized what had happened, “then I saw some terrorists, opening FIRE into the crowd!”

the news report off of MSNBC, from YouTube

A Chinese foreign exchange student told, that the first shot he’d heard was outside of the concert hall, then, around him, people were praying, and that there were, swearing too.

BBC was told by someone, that the suspects had tossed a few gas bombs, causing the fires to start, “we were guided to an exit, but the doors were locked, so we’d gone to the basement, to wait to be, saved.”, another witness who’d asked to remain anonymous told, that at the time, as everybody heard the loud bangs from behind, soon as they’d realized that it was a gunshot, then, everyone flew into a frenzy, rushed to the escalator, screaming and running.

An injured woman was interviewed in the hospital, she’d told, that the terrorists “stood at the exit, and saw us, and a couple of them started opening fire into the crowd.  I’d fallen to the ground, pretended to be dead, but the girl who was next to me was shot to death.”  Then, the fire broke out in the theatres, the suspects shut the door, but they didn’t lock it, after awhile, she’d, crawled back out, there was nothing but smokes before her eyes, nobody else was there.

And, there were those who’d hidden in the restrooms who’d, survived.  A security guard at the scene told BBC, at the time of the shooting, he was standing in the central entrance of the first floor, there were three other security officers who’d hid behind the ad boards, the suspects who’d passed them by, were only ten meters away from them at one time; all four of these security guards made it out successfully.

Based off of the footages retrieved by CNN, a group of people who’d hidden by the dropdown window were forced to break the windows open to escape from getting shot, the concert hall caught on fire, the smokes filled the air.  The reporters from A.F.P. saw the concert hall catch on fire.  Then came the explosion, the upper floors of the concert hall’s glass walls, shattered, because of the fires.

And so, you can, imagine how total chaos had taken over this, concert hall, imagine how it was, for those who were, caught in this location, at the time of the attacks, and how they’d had to, do everything they possibly can, to keep themselves, alive.  And, this is, just, another, terrorist attack, on a major scale in a major city in Russia, and, if it’s happened over there, it can easily, happen, anywhere, where you and I, live…

The problems of growing older, which we are all going to face one day in our, near or, far, future, and, there’s just, no way that we can, equip our homes with these needed things, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The years, turned the farthest to nearest, and the nearest to the, farthest.

A professor of mine who was in his nineties, had originally been very healthy, used his cane, gotten him all over the places.  But the cold fronts that came before the New Year’s, he’d had a minor, stroke.

His daughter rushed back from the U.S.  They’d been separated for long, and now, they live, next room to each other.

As the professor became immobile, the bathroom needs to allow for the convenience of a wheelchair.  There was, originally an elevated eleven-centimeter height, with the floor board of seven centimeters up.  The daughter found the handyman, and leveled the frame of the door to seven, which is the same as the height of the floor in the bathroom.

But how would the man, get over these, seven centimeters in his wheelchair?

I’d helped my professor to search for a ramp on line, the height ranges from three to nineteen centimeters, and fitted for both indoors and out, with the words, “Safe Passage” on them.  It’s just, that the width of these boards are only, fifty centimeters, and the wheelchair’s, the bath chairs widths, both, sixty.  “Buy two of them, and, saw the extra off?”, the daughter suggested.  “but, you can’t tie the two together that they stay together, as the wheelchair goes across, the shorter one is bound to slide to the side,” I’d told.

And so, I’d found a carpenter to custom make one.  “It will take me three days”, the carpenter told me, “can you put a rush on it?”, I’d pleaded.  Seeing how his shop was stacked with other things he needed to get finished with, although I’d not felt right, rushing him, I’d still told him, “an elder couldn’t get bathed for too many days already, and it’s around the New Year’s, and the weather’s heated up.”

Within three day’s time, in the evenings, I’d made my way to the carpenter’s, surprised to see that the ramp was already finished and on the table!  “It was late, so I didn’t call you,” he’d told.  Of course I didn’t mind, I’d, picked it up gladly.

The size was just right, the work, perfectly done, but, I’d not predicted, that there was a wall that’s right in front of the bathroom that the wheelchair couldn’t go in in the front, that the chair had to slide sideways to enter.  And now, a ramp wouldn’t be enough.  “I’m so sorry”, the daughter was apologetic for not letting me know this, and I was beating myself, for missing the forest for the trees.  She’d told me, “let’s just use the washboard as a ramp for now.”

And, with the ramp, and the sliding plastic washboard, the wheelchair bumped into the bathroom.  And, my professor had gotten a good wash of his hair in the sink, for the very first time after his stroke.  The sink, was so close within reach before the New Year’s, but, after the New Year’s, it was, miles out.  And that sink, became a wishing fountain, and it’d, fulfilled the wish of a daughter.

I’d gone back to the carpenter, to find a piece of wood that can replace the washboard.  It was, next to impossible to perfectly match the board in size, width, with the original ramp, we only want the board to be sturdy enough, that it doesn’t move as the wheels of the wheelchair slide across it.

The road to rehabilitation is long and winding, and, there are, bound to be bumps on it.  And, how much can seven-centimeters make up for, so long as the wheelchair didn’t bump around too much, it’s, a win for us.

After the second board was received, my professor was finally able to get into his own bathroom for a bath.

The years, it’s a friend who can, get on bad terms with us.  It’d been friends with us for many a years, slowly, offering the intelligence, the connections, the money to us, so we can, solve the problems in our, lives, but, in an instant, it can, take all the capabilities away.  It’d allowed us to travel far and wide, to all the places, and in the end, it’d, prevent us from getting our most basic needs of going to the toilets, getting a bath or a shower.

I stood outside the carpenter’s shop, with a piece of board that’s not right in size, thought about my instructor when he was younger, when I was, a child.  Forty years, it was only, an, instant it seemed.  Although I’d not had a conversation with him since a long, long time, but it’d felt, that I’m, so very, close to him.  So close, that we’re only, seven centimeters, apart.

And so, this is the distance, of the handicapped person between where they need to, go, and even in their own homes, they can’t, get the needed amenities, because, of how everything is, custom made, and everything is needed right now, and, these things takes time to get made, and, there’s just, NO prediction of what will happen in our futures, and so, there’s, no complete ways of preparing for these inconveniences of our, elderly, years…and, we can only, live with this, difficulty in our lives, when we age.
