The Un-Raveling of HISTORY?
We awaken today to "News" that Turkey's President, Erdogan, attacked Pope Francis for his reference to "Ottoman Genocide" http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/04/turkey-vatican-pope-francis-angers-erdogan.html#. Why do we let the "News" MEDIA, and the likes of Andrea Mitchell, spoon-feed our History to us? HIT THE BOOKS! We're living through a "Great Unraveling" of Sykes-Picot, and the Balfour Agreement, which occurred between 1915 and 1917, and left us with the Middle East we see imploding today. For God's Sake, since we're so poisoned by "Hollywood-History"; we could at least view again Lawrence of Arabia! The visceral hatred of the Arabs by Europeans, was made unmistakeably clear in that film. Also featured, were prominent prejudices toward the "Turks"! For college-level, easy reading, I suggest The Making of the Modern World, Richard M. Brace, Harcourt & Co., NY, 1955.; in your search for TRUTH!
As we drift toward the 2016 Presidential Election, we can at least TRY to protect ourselves from the "bull-sh*t" we swallow for "News", on Media's 24/7, "mind-effing", "Cycle"!!
Busy trying to "implant" mass-mind impressions of "Hillary", and Marco, and, even, "Terrible-Teddy Cruz", we're treated like small children, unwittingly engaged in playing some bizarre version of "Old-Maid"!
See if you can determine for yourself ,the "interests" today, of Israel, France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Turkey, Saudi-Arabia, and other "players"; in what is re-shaping our Politics and Economics, as the Global Economy grows. Determine for yourself, the roles of the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Religions. Who holds the strongest "Cards"??
The Sykes-Picot and Balfour Agreements were DIPLOMATIC actions; taken to achieve what the First World War (1914-17), failed to achieve. Leading up to that War, that historians say, marked the End of European World Dominance; check out the Triple Alliance between Rome, Berlin, and Vienna (1882-1914); The German-Romanian Alliance (1883-1916), and the several Balkan "Crises"; for a start!
Our White (Republican) Party is busy foisting "geniuses" like Rubio, Cotton, Christie, and Cruz,;who say NOTHING of any of this. Could it be that their "education" did not cover it? What about yours?
Stay Vigilant! We can THANK GOD we still have people like John Kerry working within our Government today. We are not completly bereft of the "intelligence" it takes to recognize the importance of brilliant Diplomacy, to the survival and economic health of Nations. We don't have any knowlege of that, flowing from McCain or Graham; our "Katzenjammers" in the Senate!
