NO LESSONS LEARNED!

Our Dangerous World..

Apart from being a South African, born into this dangerous world: I am numbered among the 8 billion souls and citizens of the Planet Earth.

I am a global citizen who’s equally concerned about the politics going south and tipping over into the hands of the racist, right wing nationals.

Here’s hoping I am going to be allowed a chance to be read within my context and global anti-war stance shared by millions of like-minded earth citizens.

Pointing injustices against Israel have nothing to do with anti-Semitism. I am not apologetic to every word or simile I shared in this narrative.

Precarious global events affect us all, it doesn’t matter who and what you are. Your colourful social status won’t save you from a deadly war raging inside your own backyard.

The rise of racist right wing majority governments around the developed world in the last two decades... is a threat to democracy everywhere.

This narrative is a cry from the bottom of my heart and the hearts of million others in the world today, who share the same reasoning.

It is shocking to learn that about the 75 million people were killed in the WWWII. A total of 20 million military personnel and some 40 civilians deaths.

Adolf Hitler rose to power after he was appointed German Chancellor in 1933. The evil ruler used 100% unfettered powers and ruled with pure anarchy. 

During WWII, Hitler murdered more than six million Jews in a Holocaust commonly known as  a Genocide.

In total, the Nazis murdered more than 11 million people who they deemed subhuman.

Jews, Blacks, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and many others were slaughtered by Hitler.

The world is watching with abated breath at the alarming rise of right wing fragments in the US political system. 

The instalment of former president, Donald Trump in 2016 stunned the democratic world. 

Trump’s lethal dance with the world dictators in China, North Korea, Russia and Belarus... is a thorn in the side of world peace.

Donald Trump’s Nazi leanings and his public adoration for Adolf Hitler will mark the end USA if re-elected to the White House in November.

I shall reserve my comments regarding the laughable cult calling themselves Christian Nationalists for now.

I will write a full unfiltered documentary in the Pages section of PGM in the not so distant future.

Wow. Pardon me for such a long commentary. It is impossible for me to be 100% exhaustive in all my narratives. 

Time and space always not on my side.

I Believe...

I tried my level best to research by navigating the cyberspace pages, trying to bring a comprehensive background to this track... to no avail. 

Sufficient to say that this incredible tune was composed by Dave Koz and his brother Jeff, who is a prolific guitarist 

Dave Koz was born in a Jewish family in 1963. He is an amazing saxophone player for over 30 year.

I Believe is one of my favourites in my Dave Koz discography. I believe this beautiful song was written in a prayerful mood. 

It is hard for me to ignore the soul inside this song.

Thanks Dave for sharing your God given talent with the world. You are one of my favourite Smooth Jazz Masters.

I adore you.

 No Lessons Learned!

History is the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future.

After this world experienced the world war in 1914 to 1918, one would have thought this crazy world must have taken serious life lessons and learned from this unfortunate event.

A total of 20 million lives were lost and about 21 million more were wounded.

Incredibly, after all this gory bloody spill, no lessons were learned as rival countries continued to provoke each other.

Ironically, Adolf Hitler was 25 years old when the WWI started. The young Hitler volunteered for Germany ground troops.

No one in their wildest dreams would have predicted that the same young soldier would be the centrepiece of another deadly war... 21 years later.

What did the so-called global leaders do to circumvent another possible world war in the future?

Nothing!

Instead of fighting and struggling to cement peace, these warmongers increased their military spending. 

More dangerous weapons of mass destruction were manufactured.

No lessons learned as the previous WWI history books were buried in underground bunkers.

 It has been estimated that a total of 197 million people have died as a result of wars since 1900 to this day. 

The putrid bloody war atmosphere blossomed into gigantic clouds of inevitable destruction.

It has been debated by scholars of every generation and proven true, that war achieves nothing... 

But the senseless beast continues unabated devouring lives and destroying the earth.

God Above and all His Heavenly Hosts shudder and blush when witnessing the way men have lost their respect for sanctity of all lives.

No lessons learned as more than 260 wars took place globally since 1946 to our present day.

There has been a staggering 27% increase of war hostilities across the globe since 2020.

This world is currently sitting on top of 45 ongoing wars and this number is expected to rise due to a record number of general elections around the world in 2024.

No lessons learned even after Hitler started the WWII in 1939 after invading Poland.

Our present world has gone full cycle after Vladimir Putin of Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. 

This bloody war is still ongoing after NATO member countries helped Ukraine with weapons and financial support.

Around 1.7 billion people have experienced the effects of war since 2022. 

I can’t wait to tell whoever is under the sound of my voice... that no one is immune from any type of war.

All the guns and war machines paraded during all the so-called freedom or independence day celebrations...

Are designed to destroy human beings in the name of self defence and peace.

It is reported that the global nations have spent more than $3 trillion in buying military weapons in 2023.

No lessons learned. 

Today... the world gleefully watches on while Israel destroys Palestine to the ground... 

More than 34 million people have been killed including some 13.8 million children dead.

Israel is a sacred cow of the free world... She can do no wrong. 

"Israel has every right to defend herself" However disproportionate and the killing of unarmed civilians.

Would the world even be talking about this bloody war if Israel didn’t occupy the Palestinian land?

No lessons learned. 

The United Nations is just a toothless beast... 

It cannot bite the rich hands of its Pro-Israel masters in the US and  Europe.

What a joke!

Both the Ukraine and Gaza wars, have shaken the so-called democracy to its foundations.

Pro-Israel governments are suppressing the rights of the people to protest against the blood-thirsty Israel.

No lessons learned. It is not even necessary for me to remind you about how this world will end.

Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision: for the Day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Decision.

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 

This is Armageddon. 

When Christ shall destroy the armies of this wicked world with just the breath of His nostrils.

The End to all wars....

Only the dead have seen the end of the war.... Plato
