    • Beating Up On Palestine

      Posted at 9:09 am by ronaldstanleymiller, roguedinosur.wordpress.com, on July 31, 2014

      Dear Readers,

      Before I begin let me first attempt to clarify a few misnomers concerning the Israel-Palestine issue. It is a decidedly important matter of plain language and how words and definitions are badly miss used in these so-called “Peace Negotiations.”

      The first word is “Conflict.” The Israel-Palestine conflict. There is no conflict here. A conflict is between two nations of near equal economic and military strength with defined territories and armies. The Palestinians have none of these and have never had them. There is no two nations involved in this dispute, only one Israel. The other party is composed of four point five million poor Arabs living perpetually in fear, on the defense in their own land that was once theirs 60 years ago, a homeland. The Palestinians have no country, no state, no army or control over their boarders, no seaports, authorized airspace, and unconditionally no freedom of speech or press. Zionist Israel is the only nation involved in these conflicted U.S. sponsored negotiations. Israel is the powerful one with international recognition that is completely supported financially, militarily, and politically in every possible way by its sole benefactor, the United States of America. The four million Palestinians have only handouts provided by the U.N.

      The second word is “Peace Process.”  What peace process is this? Talks have been going on for 30 years with no results. Imagine if you will for a moment of a prisoner negotiating a peace process with his jailer, a warden or a guard? The prisoner can only ask and beg for a few crumbs of change, never for freedom. justice or equality. Therefore, the peace process is a sham to deliberately buy time for the Israelis to build additional settlements and cantonments to enhance their decades-long land grab. Finally this brings me to the last word “negotiations.” How can a prisoner negotiate with the very prison that controls his space, water, food, and the very safety of his life?  A Jailer, Israel, has economically exploited prisoner and his people. There is no bargaining chip. And there is no level playing field, if there ever was one. This process of carrot and stick, wind and smoke, torture and oppresson, of the Palistinian people will go on for the forseeable future.  

      In the words of David Ben Gurion, the first Minister of Israel who predicted his new nation could be headed for potentially long term disaster said so susinctly  in 1850: “I don’t understand your optimism. Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is realistic. We have taken their country. Sure God promised us this land, what does that matters to them? Our god is not their God. We fled Israel 2000 year ago and there has been anti-semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschurwitz, but was that their fault? They only see we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may forget in one or two generations or in time, but at the moment there is not chance. It is simple we must stay strong and maintain a powerful army. Our whole policy is there, or the Arabs will wipe us out.

      For both sides is’s a matter of survival, but two wrong dom’t make a right.

      Alls the best.

    • Vladimir Putin, Invade East Ukraine and let’s Get It Over With.

      Posted at 9:08 am by ronaldstanleymiller, roguedinosur.wordpress.com, on July 31, 2014

      Greetings Readers,

      As an American I’m not comfortable in writing this, but allowing Putin to invade East Ukraine would in my opinon be the right stategy to permit an opening for long term stabilization and peace. After the Russian military intervention, drawing worldwide condemnation, what else can Putin do?  Where else can he go? The the answer is no place. There is no more fertile ground left for him to invade. He would be unwelcome in Eastern Europe. There are few Russian speakers, supporters, or sympathizers in any of those countries. The so called “aggression” of East Ukraine would stop there, and go no further.

      Moreover, what would Europe and the West do to counter Putin’s move? Nothing! Nothing else, no military action on the ground. In the meantime though the West prepares super-sanctions on Russia. The consequences will be almost immediate, and within the year the country will feel its full affects. Already the Russian economy is forecast to grow at near zero this year. Presently Putin is supremely popular in Russia, standings are at a 80-85% approval rating, but this will not last under severe economic stress. Putin should preempt  the future as early as possible and act. Are we already in a Cold War setting? Of course. To continue wrangling over a third of Ukraine can only acerbate the worst that is possible, an actual boots on the ground situation would be detrimental to all interests concerned. Let Putin have the Russian speaking provinces, and it will then, and only then, be guaranteed that any futher agression will be severely blocked.

      Will Russian history describe Vladimir as weak, backing down to the Western nations whom the Russian people do not  favor, trust, and are highly suspicious of? For him will he go down as a national patriot or an impotent leader that gave in to the West? It is his choice to make. Putin has domestic support, virulally every Russian believes the Ukraine is an intrinsic part of Russia since the 1700’s, and mistakenly given over by Nikia Khrushchev’s Soviet Union (Khrushchev a native Ukrainean himself) as a gift of special independence within the Russian Union.

      What would Obama do if Pulin invades the Ukraine? I hope nothing, only diplomatically soothing the tears of the frightened Europeans, while not listening to the Right-wing Militarist in the U. S. and NATO, the top guys who will make a bundle on other people’s misery. Undoubtedly, however, Putin will have made a grave mistake by the conquest for the sake Nationalism; yet, to him and to the Russian people he would not have. The two Ukraines are economic basket cases and will cost the West and Russia a bundle of treasure to maintain. It will be a can of worms for Putin to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

      All the Best.

      Ron.

      PS: If Putin moves into East Ukraine, will that be so bad? For a century under usually nefarious reasons, we called it “Gunboat Diplomacy” and always got away with it because nobody was watching. Those South American citizens, local natives, didn’t want us there nor even speak our language.

    • THE WORST WEEK FOR THE WORST NETWORK NEWS AND INTERVIEWS.

      Greetings Readers,

      It’s hard to drag oneself to the computer and write an article this week because of the disastrous heart breaking news coming out of Asian and Middle East. Heartbreaking yes, sad and depressing of course, but the information provided to the public by the Media is so one-sided I can hear the drum beats of potential war flaring from the enemies of peace while drowning out milder rational constructive voices.

      This past Saturday CNN’s State of the Union program hosted by Candy Crowley should have been renamed the “Netanyahu and Kerry Show.”  It was deliberately designed and delivered for the disparagement and castigation of the Gazans and the Eastern Ukrainian insurgency. Netanyahu and Kerry were superb in utilizing diplomatic jingoistic deceptive means that should not, but often does, confuse and intimidate the casual American viewer. Observing these lengthy interviews can be convincing to the public provided viewers do…

    • Making Peace With Middle East Enemies, Using Common Sense.

      Posted at 6:01 am by ronaldstanleymiller, roguedinosur.wordpress.com, on July 8, 2014

      Greetings Readers,

      Retired from society and into my eightieth year I have had time to reflect and consider concepts that are not normally available to the average active, working, and Media prone American. In my semi solicitude and self-imposed exile I ask myself, and also the reader, several questions which to me have common sense answers, but go unclaimed by others. As an example:

      Why do we have the constant threat of Moslem terrorism against the United States? Our very homeland is endangered. To me the answer is simplicity itself. They are attempting to come over here and kill us because we are over there intervening and attempting to kill them. The United States deploys more than significant, and at times massive, military forces in the Persian Gulf Region. The United States and its alleys have deployed these forces in order to protect the flow of energy to itself and to…
