Qiman has decided to take a drastically different direction in what he wants to portray and express and is now moving from the mainstream political Arena into more spiritual and unifying forces that can help in enhancing Mankind’s existence on Earth and maybe also prepare each one to reflect on coming and gong from this World.
Being Born into the Buddhist Tradition, Qiman is returning to his own roots to make an attempt to help make this a better World or at least help each one find what id best for themselves as we move into quite critical times where life decisions can affect more and more people as we all become more inter dependent and integrated through World wide Travel.
Whatever religious persuasion you may adhere too, we can all agree on one at least one point;
That we can find God, not on Earth or in Heaven only but in our hearts.
This Buddhist Mantra is to help open the Heart to such an enlightening unfolding of events in your lifetime and to help you reach compassion and mercy, wherever you are, just enjoy and live in Peace.
U.S Soldiers and the Iraqi Government have built a three mile long wall in Baghdad in order to keep Sunnis and Shiites from getting into more sectarian violence but many Sunnis claim that they are being discriminated against in this act and that the wall is just an excuse to Ghetto them in and keep them locked up.
Does this ring alarm bells and will it cause problems as there are with the Palestinian Enclaves in the Middle East?
Will this actually solve the crisis or will it make it even worse b dividing instead of trying to unite the different parties involved?
Six U.S soldiers died trying to erect the Wall and I am wondering if more blood will be spilled as walls have only increased tension in the past and haven’t really solved anything. Look at the Berlin Wall for example that caused so much heartache and kept so many families and loved ones apart.
Well Greece is never without its excitement and being of Greek origin myself I do have a bundle of laughs and as I have a good giggle at what is going on I do like to think that God is watching and will bless all these Priests for making me have a belly laugh, along with its array of colorful politicians. This year we have had another scandal in the Vatopedi region of Greece which engages both Clergy and Members of the Government and the argument is all to do with some buying and selling of land.
You can have a good in depth read in the Greek News about the Vatopedi and its Implications on the Economy too. Lazopoulos, a revered Political Comedian has encrypted the Vatopedi Code in his weekly program and you can watch the trailer along with another video of Fighting Monks in the Holy Land which doesn’t seem so holy to me when everyone is fighting like cat and dog for a few square metres of Earth. I am forever wondering where the good Christian Spirit has ever gotten to because I feel it is missing from these guys. Well SOMETHING IS ADRIFT for sure!
Now that Barack Obama has been voted in as President Elect of the United States of America and is the first Colored President of this Nation does his role in this prestigious office symbolize more than just a racial change in Government?
I believe that Obama has more than one role to fulfill in his term or terms in Office and apart from a hefty job in front of him which includes sorting out two war zones and an almost defunct Economy, He has also been given the undisputed and indirect title of a modern day savior in more ways than one.
The Republican Party has been the one noted for its Heavy Evangelical Christian Backers but I am wondering why so many Republicans have panicked at hi most noteworthy and utterly Christian Ethic namely THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH that is supposed to alleviate many an American Average Joe’s life. Why have so many so called Christians disliked Obama’s plan to redistribute the Nations Wealth so that the Economy can be kick started back into action? Isn’t it the most Christian of duties to ‘Love Thy Neighbor’ and share in what we have with those less fortunate?
Are Christian Principles only stuck with the Abortion issue yet the lives of the Living are just left un rendered?
Obama faces many challenges and it is sad to see so many Americans who do not agree with the basic principle of sharing the Wealth with those that need to survive and live and yet claim at the same time they are Christian.
By General Consensus it has been described as another Man Made disaster the fact that Mount Lusi in Eastern Java has been causing problems for local inhabitants ever since it started its antics in 1996. Over 13 have died and more than 30,000 local inhabitants have been displaced and the blame for this volcanic activity on the Indonesian Island has been put squarely on the Oil Drilling that has taken place by the Drilling Company Lapindo Brantas which totally denies the involvement. 74 Worldwide Geologists though that have come to this disturbing conclusion can’t be mistaken and the findings prove quite alarming for both Locals and the Environmental habitats of the surrounding areas. These kinds of disasters not only affect Humans but wildlife and the Earth itself and these companies should be brought to justice as in my books this is a criminal act and perpetrators should be penalized for the damage caused.

With the impending doom and gloom facing The Present Global Economy it is no wonder that the Snowball Effect will be hitting even countries like China that can boast a Trade Surplus and an annual growth rate exceeding ten percent per annum. The only problem is that as consumer spending lessens and even stagnates in parts of the World so does the demand for Chinese goods lessen which means that a whole new wave of jobs are going to be lost in the forthcoming months.
Even the Vice-Minister of Labor Wang Dong Jin has admitted that this grim situation ‘could well undemine social stability’ which is grave terminology for Chinese Bosses to be using. The Government is doing all it can to cushion the effect of this mighty blow but how much can it salvage when the parameters of a crisis are going well beyond its borders? It looks like it isn’t just North America and Europe facing a problem.
We more often than not look at the News day in day out in a kind of lethargic zombie fashion and never quite understand why regional conflicts happen and where they are heading to so it is wise to try to understand what is going on in a certain region by probing into some historical aspects in order to shed some light into the whole scenario.
At this moment in time more t million inhabitants of the Democratic Republic of Congo have been displaced in the region of Kivu alone, along with thousands having been killed, maimed and raped due to Rebel Antics in the East of the country.
You will ask why this is happening? We all remember the horrors of the Rwandan Genocide that took place Between the Hutus and Tutsis which left 800,000 Rwandans dead of primarily Tutsi origin with no intervention from the Global Community to speak of. Well after the Genocide was finally over and a fragile peace was declared and put into motion the majority of Hutus from Rwanda fled into neighboring DRC for cover and creating their own Hutu Militia force. Now in Eastern DRC there is another Congolese Tutsi Origin rebel group that is also vying for power and insists it is protecting its Tutsi inhabitants. This conflict that is taking place now in DRC can easily be taken back into Rwanda and played out again.
Now along with help from the UN both the Presidents of the DRC and Rwanda are scheduled to meet to try to bring an end to this ethnic conflict in the DRC so there isn’t a repeat of the Rwandan Fiasco. There is one question here though. Has the World at Large acted too late here again as so many people have already died in this never ending conflict?
Have we as a civilization in the West really got our priorities wrong? Should we be spending millions on celebrities and stupid delinquent reality shows that fill our heads with complete rubbish? Or should more funds be ploughed into creating more Peace and stability in the World?
