Rockets over a Holy Place -free content
It started around May 7 clashes between Jewish groups and Muslim worshippers broke out at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. The area around the mosque is considered one of Islam’s most sacred sites — an area also revered by Jews as the Temple Mount. It is most likely one of the most disputed pieces of property in the world. People around the world are meanwhile used to these kinds of headlines. This time the differences could not be settled peacefully and the rift has so far ended in rocket attacks and airstrikes destroying property on both sides of the Gaza/Israeli border. According to this week’s news, a brokered ceasefire by Egypt has put an end to the 11 day bloody and destructive dispute that killed over two hundred people and destroyed many buildings. Examining the present situation from an astrological point of view shows that the quality of time had all starry tools ready for deployment to instigate a military type of showdown between those two sides. …

French Generals warn of Civil War -free content
Over the last two weeks the international media, in a concerted effort, outright condemned the warning of some high-ranking French military brass that the country is heading for civil war. An open letter signed by 25 retired Generals warned “The hour is grave, France is in peril.” It is not the first time that a warning of this kind was expressed from active and retired military members, but this time it hit the international headlines. As a response, the French Defense Minister, Florence Parly, has vowed to punish soldiers that signed the open letter. We could call it damage control from the highest level. Nothing new these days – be it Covid, climate change, the denial of an unsolvable looming economic / monetary crisis, social unease – almost anything these days is getting stomped out by the overpowering streamlined private and government media, ridiculed, torched and just simply eliminated. The political behavior that is on display by many governments of perceived democratic countries is certainly nothing close to a democratic …

Fentanyl – the origins of a potent and silent killer

Fentanyl - the origins of a potent and silent killer
Who has not heard about the serial killer that silently infiltrates our communities? In Canada every day 11 people and in the US 41 die of opioid substance abuse. According to the WHO about 269 million people (or 5.3% of the global population aged 15-64 years) used drugs at least once in 2018. Among them, about 58 million people used opioids. About 35.6 million people suffered from drug use disorders in 2018 Worldwide, about 0.5 million deaths are attributable to drug use. More than 70% of these deaths are related to opioids. The biggest consumer of prescribed opioids is the US. All those numbers seemed to get drowned in the present Covid media frenzy that is loud, overpowering and heavily politicized. As an example here in Western Canada in B.C., the number of Fentanyl deaths for last year is about 1.5 times higher than Covid related deaths. I know in other parts of the world these numbers are not that one sided but the problem of artificial opioid use is not something that can be ignored. If you read and hear about the recently proposed countermeasures that Health authorities are coming up, one can only wonder – do these officials really know what they are dealing with? To get a better picture of that crisis from my end of the chart – I started searching for an adequate date or time when one of the many opioids were introduced to the market. …
