A relationship that has no limits

 The above words are a direct quote from Wang Yi.

Wang is not a movie producer, a figure skater, a fortune cookie maker, a furniture manufacturer, a gaming coder, a chef or a conceptual artist....

Wang Yi is the Chinese Communist Party's MOST senior foreign policy official who just arrived a few days ago in Moscow, Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin.

This next quote comes from Mr. Putin

"In this context, cooperation between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation on the global arena  is particularly important for stabilizing the international situation."

Currently Russia, China and South Africa are holding Naval drills in the Indian Ocean.

What South Africa is doing with these two communist powers is another question that needs external research, which I will look into later.

Chinese scholars, who work for the government, claim that Washington's warnings over Beijing's relationship with Moscow is a reflection of what they described as a polarizing and distorted U.S. view.

Of course this meeting comes at the same time that Mr. Putin announced that Russia would suspend it's participation in the new START nuclear nonproliferation treaty which was formed in 2011.

The President of China, Xi  Jinping is expected to visit Russia in the near future.

So far we have Yi and Xi and Z and V as letters to observe.  

(Z and V are the letters on the side of warships from Russia and weapons used against Ukraine)

And of course let us not forget our President making a surprise visit to Kyiv over the weekend to meet with President Zelinsky.

I read a story the other day about Lima, Ohio where a plant is building 15 to 20 Abram Tanks every month.

All of this information combined with the.......

Doomsday Clock

........could tend to make one a tad bit nervous if one were inclined to believe that grown adult males really have no sense of history or truly care about the future of the human species on the planet Earth.

If those men listed above don't really care about our future but instead are only focused on the power they hold and the monetary means to hold that power than we really have something to worry about.

WHERE'S THE ULTIMATE VOICE OF REASON?

Where's Admiral Picard when you need him?

I hope this present situation doesn't demand a presence like an Abraham Lincoln or a Martin Luther King.  

I don't see or hear anyone speaking out who expresses a concern for the future of humanity.  The environmentalist who worry about the future of the planet need to direct their energy toward the future of human beings.

The PLANET ISN'T IN JEOPARDY 

The inhabitants of the planet can't really say that.

I realize that a meteor could pretty much ruin our future plans for political and social dominance but that problem is generally under careful observation and tactics can be implemented to deal with that scenario.

OUR CURRENT BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS AMONG CONTINENTS, NATIONS AND COUNTRIES APPEARS TO NEED SOME ALTERATIONS.

IT'S AS IF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE NEEDS TO TAKE MUSHROOMS AT THE SAME TIME.

ONE LARGE SCALE TRIP IN ORDER TO OPEN WINDOWS OF THE MIND SO THAT PEOPLE GET BACK TO DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST.

AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN DEMONSTRATING ACTS OF KINDNESS AND DISPLAYING....

LOVE

NEO-ILLUMINATION #23

                    You have the ability to be loving 

                                      IF NOT

                       Then you need to start practicing


Maybe the Doomsday Clock is our wake-up call.   How many of the 7 and 3/4 billion people on this planet know about the Doomsday Clock?

5%

20%

1%

Well now YOU know so start spreading the word.

A new gun year

Today is the 9th day of February with guns dominating the news.

That chaos at a Mushroom farm in Half Moon Bay might be the strangest.

Did the maniac eat the wrong species?   After watching the Fungi doc I'm pretty sure something took place there that the owner of the farm doesn't want to discuss.

I would like to interject at this point and make one flat out truthful statement.

THERE ARE TOO MANY WEAPONS ON THE PLANET....and way too many guns in America.

Second amendment advocates all know that the original constitutional writers had NO CLUE what would happen and IF they did then the laws would be different today.

AND EACH AND EVERY GUN OWNER KNOWS THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT.

Fighting for the independence of our Country in 1776 it was very important that everyone be ready.

IF THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN 2023 

THEN SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG.......

......and we know something is wrong and there seems to be no solution because the people that own guns and use guns for whatever reason just simply don't see the problem.

I hate the argument that guns don't kill people....people kill people.

GUNS MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO KILL PEOPLE  and that's a fact Jack.....

I've got a few ideas to take your mind off of "reality."

1)The Smithsonian magazine says one should read more fiction.  It's just one of ten things they say help the brain.  Get the January edition and check it out.  

2)Recently I've been watching Justified on Hulu.  Loved the show when it was on FX and had to sit through commercials.  Without commercials it's even better.

3) Listen to Bonnie Raitt's Grammy winning song of the year more than once.

Just like that

4) Stop watching news shows that run longer than 30 minutes.  If you need to delve deeper than do it without opinions.  Research is the answer if you are really interested in a subject.

5)If you don't have a Major League Baseball TEAM that you follow....GET ONE! It will make your summer much more interesting.

6)Say a little prayer that I have another art show in the very near future.  The very near future can range from 3 months to 2 years.

7)Call someone you haven't talked to recently and talk for at least one half hour.

8) Listen to serious rock and roll from the 50's.  Mainly Buddy Holly.

9)Watch the movie TAR and explain how Cate does what she does

10)Go back in my archives (on the right side of this post) and read "stuff" from 10 years ago.  I'm pretty sure I used to be a lot smarter.

11)Watch Mr. Trump make a complete fool of himself.....again.

And by the way......whoever though balloons would be front page news

I'm off
