08/05/2021 - Sisu
Thoughts about civil resistance and sisu.
Sisu means courage and is one of the few short and easy pronounced words of the Finnish language. Suomi, or Finland as we call this Nordic country, has a fascinating history of persistence.
1859, the Swiss businessman Henry Dunant went to visit wounded soldiers after the Battle of Solferino. He was shocked by the conditions of these soldiers. As a result, he published his book, “A Memory of Solferino”, a report about the horrors of war and the post effects. His wartime experiences inspired him to make a proposal, suggesting the creation of a permanent relief agency for humanitarian aid in times of war, with neutral status and allowance to provide aid in a war zone.

06/05/2021 - Bright predictions were made 50 years ago
Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, born 1917 was an English science-fiction writer. The last half of his life he lived in Sri Lanka. Clarke´s books on space travel usually included chapters about other aspects of science and technology, such as computers and bioengineering.
His many predictions culminated in 1958 when he began a series of magazine essays which eventually became Profiles of the Future, published in book form in 1962. A timetable up to the year 2100 describes inventions and ideas including such things as a "global library" for 2005. The same work also contained "Clarke's First Law" and text that became Clarke's three laws in later editions.

04/05/2021 - The reality about environment
Cleaning land for cattle or palm oil plantations , burning of rainforest in Amazonas and Borneo, such are the news we read in the media about Indonesia. Big part of this subjective media is localized in countries like USA, Canada, Australia, Sweden, UK, the utmost conscient and democratic countries.

26/04/2021 - Rich but sick and sad
Since many years ago, the Swedish health care had declined to such low water mark that somebody found it necessary to enhance the health care by political means. A party was founded 2005, baptized to the “Sjukvårdspartiet” (The Health Care Party). A party necessary just to grant a fair share of the taxes to such a basic thing as health care, in one of the most tax loaded countries in the World, sounds strange. The strict restrictions inflicted over the World, labeled as “ pandemic Covid 19” made the poor situation still...

18/04/2021 - Capitalism or Communism? No difference for you…
This political theatre about right or left, Conservative or Democratic, blue or red and so on is just qualified bullshit. When Capitalism is in charge, the suppressed leftists get the input to rise. When the leftists take the power, the right wing is out, just to start to rise soon. Like that it continues, like the pistons in a motor. Up and down. But no one put in the gear. The motor is just running idle.
This idle process is fueled by a few holdings, elite families...
