THE BEADY EYE SAYS. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE NEWS COVERAGE ON THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS DOMINATING BY MATERIALISM.

There is little mention of the loss of life.
The first causality of any war is the Truth.
Yes! we hear of the genocide in GASA.
Yes ! we heard of a girls school being bomb.
Yes ! we heard of two Americans in a refuelling accident.
Yes ! we hear that Iran is being methodically destroyed.
We ! hear that their navy/ air force has been wiped out.
We ! told that the nuclear threat no longer exists,.
We ! told a Hotel/ Airport/ 0il Refineries have been hit .
We! told that the price of gas and oil is going through the roof due to the a blockade.
We! told that Iraq leaders are all dead.
—————-
You don’t have to be totally nive to take all of this with a pinch of salt other than Israel with the backing of the USA has a cart blanch.
For example on the Israel front with the Libyan there are over a million people displaced.
Here is what we know of the death tolls.
IRAN
U.S.-based rights group HRANA said on Thursday that 3,186 people have been killed. It said 1,394 of those were civilians including at least 210 children.
At least 5,000 Iranian security forces killed.
At least 104 people who the Iranian military said were killed in a U.S. attack on an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka on March 4th.
LEBANON
Around 1,021 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since March 2.
IRA
At least 60 people have been killed, according to Iraqi authorities.
ISRAEL
Fifteen civilians have been killed.
Thirteen service members have been killed.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Eight people have been killed in Iranian attacks.
UNITED STATES
Thirteen service members have been killed.
KUWAIT
Authorities have reported six deaths.
SYRIA
Four people were killed when an Iranian missile struck a building.
OMAN
Two people were reported killed on March 13.
SAUDI ARABIA
Two people were killed.
BAHRAIN
Two people were killed.
FRANCE
One soldier.
It’s totally unbelievable with all the destruction we are told that only 2,000 people have been killed across the Middle East.
————————-
While the world is focused on the war in Iran, Israel has drastically cut aid into Gaza.
World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities.
Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces.
Active personnel 610,000 (ranked 9th) Reserve personnel 350,000
Just listen to Donald Dump.
His Social media is a cess pool of the mentally incapacitated on this planet.
It’s for sheep.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS AMERICA IS SHOOTING ITS SELF (NOT JUST IN THE FOOT) BUT IN THE EYES OF ITS ALLIES AND THE WORLD MARKET PLACES. AS THE IRAN WAR IS SPIRALLING OUT OF CONTROL.

Then”war of choice” currently unfolding in Iran – and which could expand beyond – violates the core principles of international law:
The promise of “sovereign equality.
American first is no longer the marketplace that countries want to negotiating with.
While the United States is trying to change the terms of its existing trade agreements—in ways where there is no domestic consensus or partner buy-in-governments in Asia and elsewhere are placing their bets on a new crop of large-scale, multiparty trade pacts.
They are turning to other sources of supply and demand.
The strongest example of this is the reactions to the tariffs by Canada.
US protectionism should be name Yankexit.
It has already killed 12-nation trade agreement comprising 40 percent of world GDP.
Some of America’s closest partners and allies are now moving forward in an effort to create market opportunities that do not include America.
Such as.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership comprising 16 nations in East Asia including China; the Japan-EU Economic Partnership Agreement; and TPP 2.0.
————
The American pachyderm is now advancing without many precautions into wars.
The significant risks of global conflict escalation cannot be properly understood or addressed without a clear analysis of how and why the American legal framework has failed.
The US Constitution grants Congress – not the president – the power to declare war.
Since the 1790s, it has been accepted that this does not prevent the White House from responding to “sudden attacks.”
To guarantee legislative control over the armed forces, the Constitution also imposes a time limit on military expenditures; fearing the creation of a permanent army.
Today, Congress has no practical means of exercising control over the use of military force.
Its power to declare war has eroded through neglect, and with a standing army the size of that of the United States, Congress is left with little choice but to approve funding.
Moreover, presidents, and especially the general public, have grown accustomed to the use of force abroad without congressional approval.
——————
Trump only has himself to blame.
He has proven unable to explain why he chose to go to war in a convincing and consistent manner.
He has put forward an increasing number of justifications, at the risk of making incoherent and false statements, such as his reference to “imminent threats,” which were never substantiated, in the hours that followed the initial bombings against the Iranian regime.
Moreover, having spent years condemning his predecessors’ Middle Eastern adventurism, Trump should have known better than anyone that an effort to prepare public opinion for a war would be essential.
It’s not that Iranians might rise up and overthrow the regime. It’s that the Americans might rise up.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. THE BATTLE TO HAVE A LIFE WORTH LIVING BECOMES MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT WITH AGE .. COMMUNITY MATTERS MORE THAN MONEY.

We all get old, with INDEPENDENT becoming more and more difficult.
Money buys services but it doesn’t by relationship.
Age doesn’t make you worthless. It just changes what you have to offer.
The main thing one can do so you don’t disappear is, to figure out how you can contribute.
These days there is advice ( to beat the ban ) on the internet – Dr Google – on natural solutions, for every ailment you can think of.
Highly recommended to explain the pill regimen by taking a photo with your smartphone.
However to remain independent you must value contact with the world around you, not the world of modern medicine ( which is essential giving you the ability to do so.)
Knowing what to do and why you should do it isn’t enough.
If it were, we’d all follow through on everything we know is good for us.
You can have a perfect plan, backed by solid reasoning, but if you don’t believe your effort will make a difference, you won’t persist.
And without that belief, even the best advice becomes wasted breath.
Your expectations shape your effort, and your effort shapes your outcomes.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. EQUALITY, FAIRNESS, JUSTICE ARE INDIVISIBLE CONCEPTS IF ARE ANYTHING.
18 Wednesday Mar 2026
( Six minute read)
I fear we are just scratching the surface when it comes to us understanding the above.
In theory, the most influential concepts of justice are egalitarian, ones in which the concept of equality plays a central role.
In practice, however, research shows that people are not so much concerned about equality, but about fairness.
And while we often articulate fairness in terms of “just desserts”, the concept of this metaphorical desert has been consigned by most theorists to the philosophical scrap heap for being difficult to measure exactly.
The Egalitarian Principle on regulating the distribution of wealth and income requires that we divide all goods in society equally, unless unequal distributions are to the benefit of the worst off.
A standard approach to social, political and economic problems is to identify stark inequalities between individuals, groups and countries as the root cause.
The solution is usually redistribution towards more egalitarian outcomes.
Yet, in philosophy, psychology and elsewhere, questions the wisdom of such solutions.
First, is equality valued for its own sake?
Consider a society in which everybody gets the same, but not enough.
This will not be valued more than a society with huge disparities, where there is sufficient for all. Moreover, we usually react to being unfairly disadvantaged, rather than simply to not getting the same.
Hence, restricting distribution to equal shares or conditioning unequal shares on being to the worst-off’s benefit, irrespective of how hard we each work, does not seem just.
If distributive justice is a combination of equal opportunities and fair reward for talent and effort, then outcomes are likely to be unequal.
In a meritocratic society social status is determined by “merit”, acquired through a combination of intelligence and effort leading to various significant social contributions.
If what we want are fair opportunities without unfair disadvantage, then meritocracy cannot be the answer.
There are goods which may fundamentally affect a person’s life (for instance, healthcare resources). We will want to avoid getting their distribution wrong. So we will allocate them on the basis of need.
Even if we could ascertain a person’s deserts accurately, there are still instances where this type of distribution seems undesirable.
Healthcare services and good education are essential for equal opportunity. They should be among the goods provided universally.
Yet, ignoring desert for all goods disconnects completely distributive shares from what we do responsibly. We should then distribute at least some significant goods (say, bonuses) entirely on the basis of just deserts. This would be one good mechanism for increasing social mobility.
Fairness matters:
Systematic unfair discrimination increases conflict and tension in societies and international community.
Fairness is importantly linked to responsibility and accountability. So a theory of distributive justice sensitive to desert is the way forward.
All of the above is a ruthless.
Because many of our most prominent institutions no longer consider fairness merit or justice and are intimidated and are distorting us all.
Our new political system are own by not the people but by big corporations with insatiable desires for money and power.
A war of all against all.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. IT DOES MATTER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WAR WHETHER ITS JUSTIFIED OR NOT.
17 Tuesday Mar 2026

Never think that war, no matter how necessary nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
Ernest Hemingway.
It makes no difference what men think of war, war endures.
The Paradoxes of War teaches us to understand that war is not only a normal part of human existence, but is arguably one of the most important factors in making us who we are.
It suggests that war is not an aberration but a constant of history; for the living, peace is merely a temporary armistice between periods of violence.
Violence sits deep in human history.
In a world where unjust killing runs rampant, it might cross your mind that, in these horrific cases, at least, a violent response is called for.
Or perhaps not.
Maybe, as the philosopher Richard Rorty once quipped, we need fewer reflections on the part of philosophers and theologians and more photographs, movies, and memoirs.
The famous photograph of the Vietnamese girl running in agony after having been drenched in napalm is worth a thousand philosophical or theological words.
Perhaps outward events can energise our inquiry into not only why the current wars are taking place, but moreover into the very cause of conflict, and whether it is possible for humanity to live without war.
The problem that we should discuss, which is ever-present. Is that of the individual and his relationship with another, which is society.
If we can understand this complex problem then perhaps we shall be able to avoid the many causes that ultimately lead to war.
War is a symptom, however brutal and diseased, and to deal with the outer manifestation without regard to the deeper causes of it, is futile and purposeless.
In fundamentally changing the causes, perhaps we can bring about a peace that is not destroyed by outer circumstances.
War is always tragic. When innocent civilians die, that tragedy is multiplied. Even disciplined militaries can’t eliminate the fog of war, faulty intelligence, or human error. Terrible mistakes happen.
Wherever there is division there must be conflict.
Wherever there are nationalities, the American, the Russian, the Chinese, there must inevitably be various forms of economic, social, military and political struggle.
Perhaps most of us are aware of this, but we seem to be unable to do anything but declare wars.
The future we are aiming to create cannot be built on war and lawlessness.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS HOW ARE WE TO MAINTAIN HUMAN DIGNITY IN A WORLD DOMINATED BY TECHNOLOGY.

( Seven minute read)
While the dignity of the human person is recognised to be “the foundation of all the other principles the implications of recognizing and respecting it in our social relations, especially in relation to the changing and contingent conditions of the material environment in which we now live is eroding at a alarmingly pace.
Although the advancement of digital technologies may offer many possibilities for promoting human dignity, it also increasingly tends toward the creation of a world in which exploitation, exclusion, and violence grow, extending even to the point of harming the dignity of the human person.
This includes “fake news and slander”; incitement of violence and cyberbullying; an environment of “loneliness, manipulation, [and] exploitation”; “the risk of addiction”; and the “gradual loss of contact with concrete reality, blocking the development of authentic interpersonal relationships.
Social media and the digital information ecosystem generally have altered the daily realities of our lives and our communities, of societal dynamics and political authority, of identity and self.
We are in an era where the meaning and value of what it is to be human is being questioned and threatened in absolutely unprecedented ways, and the understandings of dignity gained in a radically different time are not by themselves sufficient to ground an adequate response.
Take moral dignity, or social dignity which are existential dignitaries they can be gained or lost, subjectively felt or not, realized or damaged by the ways in which we exercise our own freedom or by the conditions of life imposed upon us.
Ontological dignity which is concerned with what is true or real.
It is indelible and remains valid beyond any circumstances in which the person may find themselves.
Crucially, our understanding of human dignity is not developed only within the mind as an idea but through our experience more broadly, by being enacted, by the practices of “doing” dignity and observing human reality.
Today, in the emerging digital age, this includes observing and reflecting on human dignity in careful, attentive engagement with the ways in which we can see human beings either flourishing or being oppressed and degraded by the new technologies that pervade their lives.
There is no shortage today of situations in which the encounter between human beings and technology is palpably, visibly, not conducive to their wellbeing.,
Take the two current wars, Russia/Ukraine and the Israel/USA/ IRAN.
In international law aggression is generally understood as when a country either starts a war against another country or engages in actions that drive another country to go to war.
It is grounded in the idea that attacking another country goes against the peace and security and victim states’ own sovereignty and right to self-determination.
We only have one life to live and it is not possible to bury oneself in the shallow grave of technology.
So what can we do?
If we want a world of living, not just a world of existences, we must collectively declare war on all financial instruments that are more concern with unsustainable growth, or make them contribute to a world sustainable fund
A perpetual fund to safeguard our values and not inequality.
This could be achieved by placing a 0.001% commission on all financial transactions such as Sovereignty wealth funds, Hedge Funds, Foreign Exchange transactions over a million, on all stocks exchange transactions over a million, on all lottery wins over half a million, on all total roads/ bridges/ tunnels, on all sports events attractions with an attendance of 50.000, on all advertising, on all profits seeking algorithms.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS THANKS TO CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES WE ARE UNABLE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING WE SEE OR HEAR?
15 Sunday Mar 2026
Posted in Uncategorized
( Six minute read)
I never thought that in my life time that I would be entertaining the following word to describe America.
FASCISM.
Once we can’t be certain about ANYTHING that uses the internet, it’s lost most of its usability and humans have lost control of its content.
It is obvious that the balance of power will be between human and non-human in the future of internet space.
In the mean time should we be asking, are we now witnessing the emergence of a Fascia’s American.
Which appears to be not in the so distant future.
From the beginning, fascism has been an incoherent doctrine, and even today scholars can’t agree on its definition.
Italy’s original version differed from Germany’s, which differed from Spain’s, which differed from Japan’s, all of which will differed from the to come Ai versions.
But all forms of Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With non democratic elections, not a coup but with Far Right rhetoric which unfortunately we are also once again beginning to raise its ugly head in Germany.
It takes hold thanks to people who like the Donald Trumps of this world think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.
Fascism use to be is a way to take political grievance, shared by members of a dominant group in society, and mobilize it against some supposed “enemy,”
However Populist leaders like the Donald Trumps stretch the ground rules of democracy, allowing fascists to take things further.
They change the rules, seize absolute power, and destroy those seen as foes, using violence if need be.
Trump is definitely an authoritarian, and unquestionably a patrimonialist. Beyond that, though, the best description seemed to be a psychologic one.
He listens to Putin, he listens to Xi, he listens to how they talk about governing unburdened by uncooperative legislatures, unconcerned with what the judiciary may do, and he thinks to himself.
Why can’t I do that?
This doesn’t amount to being a fascist, in my view, [or] having a theory of how you want to govern.
It’s just Why can’t I have the same fun they have?
The race to power AI is already remaking the physical world.
Before the United States attacked Iran, crude oil was trading at around $65 a barrel. Yesterday it hovered in the $90 to $100 range.
How much higher could it go?
200$ a barrel!
In that scenario, sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China.
In a world spiraling into war, with AI rising and jobs falling, it’s easy to miss the little things.
What needs to be understood is that when you launch a war you don’t just own the first bomb/ missile you own everything else that happens after that bomb/missile has exploded.
This is the Pandora’s box that has been opened up and now there is no alternative than we are now looking at a world economic earthquake that involves not just the economic but our very survival.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS LET’S PUT THE IRAN/ ISRAEL/ USA WAR IN CONTEX.

( Four minute read)
This crisis is no longer about death but about OIL that fuels that produces the capitalist economics system of inequality.
It becoming quite clear ( that the loss of life which is called collateral damage as it always is called in a a war ) is irrelevant.
We seeing reports after report that are exposing ( on the back of recent wars ) the fusion of war – making and markets manipulation which isn’t entirely without precedent
It’s common knowledge that wars are both bad and good for profit but because our world is reliant on energy to produce almost everything.
Markets are facing the biggest shortfall in HISTORY: bigger than the Arab Oil Embargo, Iran’s Islamic Revolution, and the Kuwait invasion COMBINED.
While Cost of Living Soars, Trump is spending $1 Billion Per Day in War of Choice With Iran.
President Trump ordered the release of 172 million barrels of oil from the U.S.’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve on Wednesday.
While 32 Member countries of the International Energy Agency unanimously agreed today to release 400 million barrel.
Even the Russia/ Ukraine war revolves around Oil.
The Venezuela dictator removal was blatantly related to oil not drugs trafficking.
The attempt to annex Greenland was and is nothing to do defence. More to do with what’s underneath its ice.
Cuba’s turn.
Less than two months after imposing a brutal oil blockade on the island in order to maximize pressure on the government, President Trump is now bragging that the Cuban regime is on the verge of collapse and that its leaders want to “make a deal.
You could not be blamed for thinking that all these war are billionaires wars.
Just thinking of what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
We are all now being abused by Donald Trump. It’s time we tell him for the lack of a better word to F—-off.
When you see Putin helping Iran while Donald Trump relaxing sanctions on Russia on selling its oil it’s beyond belief.
We criticised Russia for invading Ukraine and now here we are watching the USA attacking Iran, at the whim of Israel that has only one objective to dominate the region.
You can’t put the Genie back in the bottle. Iran has been preparing for a long time for a long war.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS THIS IS HOW TO HANDLE THE CATASTROPHIC CASCADE OF OLD AGE.
12 Thursday Mar 2026

The capacity to live upon the earth has been increased dramatically with drugs.
We’re not born with a best before date and we all know that eternal youth is the stuff of religion and mythology.
Luckily most of us also do not have an expiry date set in stone.
Aging happens to all of us, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for low energy, brain fog, or a body that doesn’t perform the way you need it to.
We all face getting old, existing on a diet of dietary supplements and pill with side effects.
Aging is not a disease.
Learning to live with aging involves a whole raft of biological changes and the number of years that people can live well without disease is determined the build-up of tired, worn-out cells.
Those of us who make it into the 100th are still few.
——————-
While you can’t stop time, you can take control of how you age.
AGI might some day transcends our biological boundaries with drugs.
According to the current medical paradigm, ageing is not something that needs to be treated. This is obviously true as it cannot be prevented but extending one’s while getting older is not being properly explored.
Not all supplements are created equal.
Many products on the market are filled with fillers, low-quality ingredients, and unnecessary additives.
Remember that longevity is highly personalized—what your body needs depends on your diet, genetics, medications, and activity level.
Think of supplements as a tool to enhance your health and longevity, tailored to support your unique biology, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Every day, millions of people insulin to control their type 2 Diabetes never mind Insulin – Smallpox Vaccine – Ether – Morphine – Aspirin – AZT – Birth Control Pills.
But they don’t quite nail it., you still age.
Here is the good news.
Treatments to slow, stop, or reverse ageing is no longer the stuff of science fiction, and could be less than a decade away.
Metformin could become the first authorised anti-ageing drug with the ability to not just prolong life, but to prolong a healthy life.
In the meantime we spent trillions on medicines from drug to pills to avoid to develop a major age-related disease, such as dementia or stroke.
Ageing really is something that can be targeted and treated with drugs but unlike most medical treatments it is not preventable.
The secret is not to disappear down the hole of self, but to stay in touch with your friends, your community, your interests.
