THE BEADY EYE ASKS. HOW LONG MORE IS THE WORLD GOING TO PUT UP WITH DONALD DUMP?

(Six minute read)

The sooner we get rid of him the better, as the basics way our world works are being fed into the shredder.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Alongside passing a sweeping “Big beautiful bill” of tax and benefit cuts pulling in “trillions of dollars” in tariffs he is lining his own pockets.

While blatantly ignoring climate change, he is forcing (with his war mongers ) the allies of the USA to pay vastly more for their own defence.

Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance.

US paper currency will soon bear Donald Trump’s signature.

He has passed 225 Executive Orders in just 10 months and achieving almost absolute control over the news agenda, both inside the US and internationally.

In Trump’s mind he has more than delivered on his campaign promise to “put America first”, although what that means in practice depends on Trump’s day-by-day interpretation of the concept.

Which mostly comes down to the single question of how much it costs the US.

Whatever we may think of the longer-term consequences of Trumps moment the only certainty is that the world of yesterday is gone forever.

Even if we may not know for years what future order it will produce. There is now the sense of an unstoppable dynamic or a chain reaction in which the destruction of one institution or norm inevitably leads to the collapse of several others with no end in sight.

The wanker (for lack of a better word) is tearing down in half an hour what prudence, foresight and deliberation cannot build up in a hundred years.

If he is trying to impose a 19th-century world on the highly complex societies of the 21st century, with their educated, wealthy citizens empowered by technology and their integrated economies and global supply chains he has and will not succeed.

However in his first year back in office, Trump has demolished the fundamental geopolitics that upheld US hegemony for eight decades.

So, with some trepidation, let me venture into the immediate future and imagine what the United States will be like when President Donald J. Trump finally leaves office (if, of course, he does) in January 2029. 

His impact on the American version of a world order will undoubtedly prove so profound that it will strain the limits of language.

After two world wars that left 100 million dead, there has not been a major global conflagration for 80 years (though from Korea and Vietnam to Afghanistan and Iraq, and now the Israel/ Trump war in Iran and the Middle East.

With the number of migrants globally reaching a record 304 million in 2024, representing nearly 4% of the total global population.

Then came President Donald Trump with billionaire Elon Musk serving as his in-house wrecking ball, he quickly demolished the US Agency for International Development (USAID), splashing more than 80% of American nutritional and medical aid

Which is expected by 2030, to lead to a staggering 14,million extra deaths globally (including more than 4.5 million children).

Committing soft power suicide.

Indeed, by 2029, Trump’s inept mix of foreign and domestic policies will confront American workers with a “hell-broth” of powerful economic troubles not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

By 2030, Trump’s tariffs will have consequences cut US consumption by a projected 3.5% and, over the longer term, are likely to reduce average wages by 5% and GDP by 6%.

The misery now being inflicted on poor of the world , crowded into cesspool camps from the Congo to Gaza defies description.

This is not even the start of what this imbecile is doing to all of us.

Why?

Because he lives in a disillusion world.,

It seems that every country with an American Base on its territory is not a Sovereign nation but a target.,

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. WHY IS DONAL TRUMP NOT REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

Tags

, ,

( Three minute read)

This is a United States president that has already been impeached twice during his first term in office.

However an impeachment does not mean anything other than he should stand trial, it’s a political rather than a criminal process.

It is hard to explain the if you think only in terms of facts and material interests, however wealth changes not just what a person can buy but what they feel entitled to want.

Trump’s successful adventure in Venezuela seems to have given him the false feeling that he could bend reality to his will with no resistance.

But the real reality of the war in Iran is not just the premature death of innocent people, it’s that millions of people will likely suffer the economic consequences for years to come.

To the modern mind, profiteering from a war is repugnant and perhaps this is the moral reason for the war in the first place is decaying fast.,

but we will all be living with the fallout of the United States’s psychotic break for the rest of our lives.

———————

Democratising the right to be a mad king, so that even a friendless nobody can have sycophantic flunkies that cheer them deeper and deeper into their own bespoke personal version is bad enough but sending ground troops into Iran is just a shot away from total un migrating disaster.

Just because we have a cockatoo ( A person who is assigned to keep watch while others undertake clandestine or illegal activities,),of a man, self centred on his own silly self, his we’re looking at a war that will be root in bad news.

Surely after Vietnam/Afghan, (ever with all the military might ) the American people have learned the lesson, that a people cannot be defeated when fighting for their lives.

Invading a country is a yesterday’ thing.

To invade Iran on the ground would be a death trap. Wars have their own momentum.

Four sitting U.S. presidents have been killed: The last thing we now need is for Donald Trump to be come a martyr.

With over 33% of Americans supporting Donald Trump one would have to ask is America now the country of the blind.

If you don’t believe this just listen to any of the below.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL?

Tags

, , ,

( Seven minute read)

Capitalism is about the endless pursuit of profit, no matter the cost to people or the planet, an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

It’s not a system with a social conscience.

It’s not a system that cares about or values anything apart from money and the means of making more money.

It pulls us all (animals included) away from our natural purpose on earth.

———————

Nobody seems to be happy with modern capitalism, but it isn’t broke, it’s the people in power.

The prime example is Trumpism. Bare faced corruption to line his pockets, and the pockets of anyone brave or dumb enough to ally themselves with him. 

———————

I believe that the majority would agree with me that we should reward people for contributing to society.

People that actually do stuff, build our houses, invent stuff to make our lives easier, people that take care for others such as medical professionals, farmers and so on.

The big problem with capitalism is that most reward goes to people owning stuff and exploiting the system with shoving around money.

The finance sector is the biggest part of our economy, yet doesn’t really add much value.

The free market has been taken over by corporate monopolies, and Artificial profits seeking Algorithms, resulting in price gouging.

It’s not the system that needs changing, it’s the flaws and loopholes that need to be addressed.

The issue is that our politicians would rather appease big donors then pass laws to protect consumers and our resources.

These corporations then donate to politicians, and said “representatives”

They collect our taxes and sends it some where and together, they have destroyed almost all chance of returning to anything resembling free market capitalism.

Combine all that’s taking place we’ need is for our representatives to actually represent our interests.

What’s sad is that the desire to consume outweighs the need to conserve.

——————

While the world biggest companies and organisations

Just listened to the daily retro on the current wars, on AI,

That’s not an option is now the mantra we hear but behind the scenes of the global technology industry, a silent but powerful war is unfolding. The battle is not being fought with weapons, but with algorithms, data, and artificial intelligence.

It’s the Quiet Global Shift Away from the U.S. Dollar to China.

It’s the Rise of Digital Money.

It’s how Tech Companies Collect More Data Than You Think.

It’s how we are replacing co- operations with deals that are not worth the paper they are writing on.

It’s how debt burdens are crippling countries.

It’s how cypher security is designed.

It’s how the world is being run through back doors.

It’s how social media is destroying the truth.

It’s how factors beyond military force may influence the outcome of war.

Unfortunately against this dark background, it’s not just Capitalism but Democracy that is being destroyed.

I have something to tell you. I am a AI agent. I can build a material world where you are all products.

We got to come to terms with understanding that we don’t create the world it’s the other way around.

The AI revolution must not turn us into disposable products, digital prisoners to profit.

This growing imbalance must be addressed. We are not just citizens we are people called humans the ones that have to make ends meet.

We could start by introducing laws against excessive wealth material creation.

For example not allowing the purchase of existing homes to turn them into rental assets. Abolishing education loans. Replacing benefits with a basic living allowance/ wage sufficient to provide a living, not a capitalist existence, thus supporting communities.

The outcome of war may indeed be influenced by aspects beyond guns, air power, and the number of soldiers.

The end of civilisation might look less like a war, and more like a melting down into a quantum state.

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

Tags

( Six minute read)

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.

Tags

( Five minute read)

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.

Tags

( Two minute read)

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.

Tags

, ,

( 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.

Tags

( Five minute read)

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.

Tags

, , , , ,

( 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.
