May another major war in Central and Western Europe be averted, and that already raging in Eastern Europe come to an end.
A Merry Christmas and Yuletide to all well-intentioned readers of the blog.
A reminder that our time on this Earth in any one incarnation is limited and that we must do what can be done to create the basis for a quantum leap in human and planetary evolution.

Alternativ fur Deutschland (AfD)
Very amusing, but that AfD poster makes an important point, which is that the core of our political philosophy must reach out to the future, to the as-yet-unborn generations who will eventually make a quantum leap in human evolution.
“You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.
Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.
You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.
But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

6 weeks to go before Biden is pensioned off.
The Assad government was very harsh, but the alternative seems to be tribal chaos, as also happened in Iraq, Libya etc.
