Greying activist, hobbyist in thinking in a political wasteland, forever hopeful for social change that seeks to benefit the many and not the few. Optimistic realist and other contradictions daily practiced.

There is no finer demand, than to demand peace in the face of hate and never move...

I stand in solidarity and hope for millions to enjoy Peace, hope for the day that Justice will rest its scales in judgement of all that has happened. InHumanity should have no place in any society.

You have to wonder at times. With all the philosophy. All the thought on humanity. All the development and growth in society and more.

How. as a species, we arrived at a place where humanity, racism, genocide, hunger, poverty, and loneliness are commonplace.

Tangled Web, woven well.

Reality is that food bags and vouchers were gone by 9:30 am yesterday.

in a country defined in the top 5 successful economies in Europe (the Economist Dec 2024)

Free market capitalism and hungry families..
A story of success in modern society.

Charities to the rescue of government failure.

If you were born on April 1st in the year 0001
For each day, you were given US $450,000.
and through some freak of nature were still alive, not having spend a cent of that money since then.

You still would not be as wealthy as Musk, Dec 1 2024: 330.1 billion

Mad statistic, in a world of poverty.

'Art 14. Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution' - UDHR.

'The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.'

Realistically there is no reason for Hunger to be a reality.

Reality is that countries like the US, UK and others spend well beyond a trillion annually on arms, than food for children.

Politically it does not seem to matter left vs right, a childs life is valued less than a bullet's force.

For those who defend the indefensible, Nikita's story appears to be a recurring story of abuse.

The question is how many women were afraid or intimidated and did not report.

And how many more hide behind fame and wealth.

Vote for a society that offers change.

Time to end the Slaughter is Always now..
Time for the Courts of justice to demand that all states adhere to ICC arrest warrants and act.

Time, something we often loose, in time lost, yet another innocent dies.

It is a small act to call out government for failure to act for humanity ..

Different times, different centuries, and the children still seek peace and refuge from oppression.

All that has changed is nationality.

Show me a brave woman ..
You will see a woman whose story is a sad story and a long road, and has had to battle all

Nikita has won her case against failure of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Social media attack, Personal threat and I suspect much more...

Ireland 31.5% of all living in poverty, are under 18,
UK - 5.2 Million children live in poverty,
USA - the figure is 11.5 Million.

Failure is governmental, following free markets instead of offering good social care is a primary reason.

Failure to care for one, is a failure to care for all.

If,
by the last line you can answer, then ask the question of any that may divide..

Once upon a time, it was written that the greatest threat to a government was an educated people, so education was reduced.

Today we should ask the question, is Peace a threat to the status quo?

When war supports economy and profit, action to reject war is absent, the question needs to be asked.

In silence, complicity..

Spare a thought on that, there is no billionaire without a worker underpaid, no war without a mothers tear, no genocide without tyranny, no poverty without greed. No...

And in it all, it is the many who pay in their silence, sweat, and tears.

& the cycle repeats again

Radical thought in these days of genocidal wars and political segregation ...

Radical in an age of politics where right are not equal to all.

Imagine a world in which we live, where the dominant species treated each other as equals in all rights and needs.

Radical thought to kick start a day.
