Christmas. A Season of Hopes

It all began when the angel came to Virgin Mary and told her that he has orders from God to make her conceive a son to be named Jesus the Messiah.

Mary delivered her child in a miraculous and magical moment.
This moment is still alive till our days.
I believe it will still be alive forever.

At that moment the Angel told Mary that "nothing is impossible with God".

That Child was born amid a crisis that was eating the whole world financially, economically, socially and politically.
They called him The Savior and put all hopes in him.


Nothing is different today; same troubles, same crisis probably on wider scales.
Again, today it is all about hopes.
It is always about hopes.
Because nothing is impossible with God.

Nothing is impossible with God.
Those words are still living with us, and they are highlighted in our hearts and souls more when Christmas season starts.

Every Christmas season we try to revive the miracle and the magic of that moment, the moment when Jesus Christ was born and hopes flourished.

When we celebrate Christmas; decorate houses and streets, put gifts under Christmas Trees, have Christmas Family Dinner, we do all these hoping for the good to come back.

Because I believe Good has left us a long time ago and never came back.
Good left us to our devilish selves.
We took matters in our own hands.
And every thing went bad.
Very Bad.

We created unnecessary wars, we killed innocent people for selfish reasons, we discriminated, we intimidated, we stole, we lied, we deceived, committed every single sin in the books and created more sins to sin them.

Famine is not limited to Africa and spreading across the plant, and almost 90 per cent of the world population are suffering from food shortages.

Natural disasters have reached higher levels than any other time in history, except for the Sea Partition and Noah flooding.

Corrupted and crazy rulers are dominating and grasping most countries, putting this world at great jeopardy. Like in ancient days, history is repeating itself!

Christmas comes every year to renew faith, rise hopes and remind those rulers that Jesus Christ came in the first place to destroy rulers like them (mad and ruthless) if they do not come back to their senses.

Remind them of the gift-giving and the gifts they must give this world; peace and security.

Remind them that they have to find a way for desperate parents enabling them cheer their children with gifts that they can afford to buy.

Remind them to open all roads, ports, airports and make it easy for Santa to reach every house and put a gift to all its family members.

Santa is unable to bring his gifts.
He is missing the children and the children are missing him.

Remind them to abandon the ship of greed and false power and restart the ship of goodwill and justice.

Remind them to think for a moment about that moment when Jesus was born from a pure womb, to light the darkness of the whole world.


Remind them about rulers like them, played their roles in history to bring the present we are experiencing now.
So they can imagine what future they are building!

Also remind us not to give up hope.

Because Christmas Season is a season of miracles and magic, we hope more in this season that all our hopes are answered by God.

Because nothing is impossible with God.

Who are the victims of Wikieaks revelations?

And who are the "Accused"?

Well, in a quick answer, we are the victims.

We. The common people. The normal ones who work every day to feed our children and secure for them proper homes, schooling and safe futures.

All the others including Wikileaks and similar hackers are the criminals, and I will tell you why.

Normal people who are working their necks out to make a suitable living, can not achieve what they want in a feasible way.

It really breaks hearts to see the real world around full of  poverty, drugs, violence, wars and hatred.
Every human being needs a range of basic necessities; food, water, clothing, shelter, education, and health care. More than 70% of the world lack basic economic conditions of these essentials to meet minimum needs of a human life.

It is disturbing to know that in some countries more than one person in five, lives on less than $1 a day, and over 1 billion people live in extreme poverty and nearly half the world’s population live on less than $2 a day.

In developed countries, poverty results in wandering homeless people, poor suburbs and ghettos.

When we think about the causes of poverty we immediately think of lack of education, war, natural disasters, political corruption, and mental illness of the world leaders.

I will not talk here about lack of education and natural disasters, because they are not the issue now. May be I find a way to tackle them in later blogs.
Although I do have the feeling that natural disasters are sometimes consequences of political corruption and mental illness of world leaders.

Political corruption
First, I do not believe that all the international development initiatives and the many international organizations working in the humanitarian fields are helping much to eradicate poverty.
To the contrary I think that most governments and organizations help in enhancing poverty worldwide for many reasons.
This comes under political corruption.
Poor people who are unable to have equal health care treatment like the rich, comes under political corruption.
Poor students who can not complete their educations without financial obstacles, talented poets and writers who can not publish their works without financial difficulties, brilliant businessmen who can not get finances to their projects without exploitation and high risk interests, are all consequences of political corruption.
Gifted artists who do not have their chances without discrimination, are consequences of political corruption.
In turn we see so much money spent on espionage!

Wars, conspiracies, economic disasters, financial crisis, high bank interest rates, money deflation and inflation are all part of political corruption.

Religious, race and ethnic discrimination are all results of political corruption.
Media in general is an integrated part of political corruption.

If all religions on earth proclaim peace, love and equality, then who on earth changed all this?
The Bible is based on Peace and love “ Peace be with you”.
The Qur'an originated the word Islam from Peace, and declared that a true belief in God is to love for your fellow men what you love for himself.
The Ten Commandments basically are all about Love, Peace and Equality.
Buddha kept talking about Peace and Love and once said that in the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

This is absolutely true, it is people who create this agony and enslave themselves within it.

Mental illness of our political leaders.

It is a simple fact that only fools want to run a world of such vast and devastating political corruptions.
But this is not all.
Our leaders are really complex-ed.
What sick persons spend most of their times spying on other persons?
For what?
If you take a quick glance on the Wikileaks releases, you can understand what I mean.
What can you say about people whose behaviors and attitudes are described in the leaks?
Karzai of Afghanistan: a paranoid, ignorant and weak person.
Nouri Al Malki of Iraq: Murderer
Kevin Rudd of Australia: A freak
Hillary Clinton: A Sick mind.
Hu Jintao of China: Deceiving individual.
Chancellor Merkel: Hesitant.
Ahmadinejad of Iran: Crazy and unpredictable.
Berlusconi of Italy: incompetent and ineffectual
Kim Jong of North Korea: Old fool
Gaddafi of Libya: lusty
Pakistan Leaders: Double faces
Medvedev and Putin of Russia: Batman and Robin
Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka: War Lord
Gordon Brown of UK: A failure
Sarkozy France: The naked Emperor

Let us look further, and see how can we describe the following leaders:

George W. Bush: A disastrous joker?

Bush Administration: Disastrous outcome?
Barak Obama: First black president, Ok now what?
Obama Administration: Falling Posts?
European Union: Trickery?
PM Cameron: Slow and hollow?
Harper of Canada: Miscalculated Risks?
PM Erdogan of Turkey: Dreaming the Empire?
Netneyahu of Israel: Hitman?
President Bashir of Sudan: Leading to a ruthless civil war?
President Mubarak of Egypt: President or King of Egypt?
Abdallah Saleh of Yemen: What is he really doing?
Asad of Syria: Walking on the ropes?
Sulaiman of Lebanon: President without presidency?
King Abdullah of Jordan: To be or not to be?
King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia: A lost wisdom?
Zine Al Abidine of Tunis: Family Business?
King Mohamed of Morocco: Influence of history and culture?
Leaders of the African countries: Bad Businessmen?

In fact, leaders come and then bring with them a management team, they call it administration team.
This management team takes over the administrations and start by canceling all what the previous teams already made.
(Management teams in some "Republics" have been managing over 30 years).
Then they manage to control the wealth of the country, and oppress the people.
Rules and Acts issued to make it more difficult on people to practically live with minimum needs.
Then they manage to defy or ally with other countries, depending on the management interest.
This interest can be a belief or religion or ideology or just for the fun of it.
Eventually different kinds of wars erupted; traditional and non traditional.
Even psychological wars.

Then so many victims from the people.
So many collateral damages from the people.

Why Wikileaks leaks only in a certain time and for certain media?
If they can know at any time these secrets, why they wait so long to reveal them?
Perhaps if they have revealed them in time, things might have changed and less damages are made

In brief.
We are living in a crazy world managed by crazy people.

Diamonds in the sky! Go get them girls.

WASP-12b  is plant outside our Solar System fully covered with pure diamonds.
Astronomers are saying that the diamonds cover the surface of this planet exactly like how sand, rocks and mountains cover the surface of our Earth.

A team of astronomers discovered recently a planet located outside our Solar System, slightly larger than Jupiter and orbits its star in about one day when Earth takes 365 days to orbit the Sun.

Astronomers are saying that the immense existence of diamonds and graphite on that planet is controlling its geographical nature and climate.

Astronomers at Princeton University, said that the concentrated carbon on the planet is likely to have been transformed to pure diamonds. "You might see land masses and mountains made up of diamonds,"  said the lead researcher Dr Nikku Madhusudhan.

Obviously it is not easy to reach those diamonds, because the planet is almost 1200 light years far from Earth.

Also it is extremely hot where the temperature there is more than 2000 degrees centigrade.

This new planet, Wasp 12b, is the first to have more carbon than oxygen. It is a so-called gas giant, like Jupiter, and is mostly made from hydrogen gas.

But the planet's core could be composed of some form of diamond, graphite and other carbon compounds, possibly in liquid form.

But it seems there is hope as scientists are talking now about possibilities that life can exist on such planets out there can. They say this life if exists must be able to sustain low oxygen, low water and lots of methane and other hydrocarbons.

The atmosphere that is heavy with carbon could preserve heat and light, which provide energy for life.
Life in turn would adapt to survive on little oxygen and water.
Life also has to learn how to accept good lots of methane.

"It's exciting to even think about the possibility" of what carbon-rich planets could look like, says Adam Showman, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, who explains that although researchers knew that other solar systems should have a range of carbon-to-oxygen values, "this paper finally moves the discussion from pure speculation to plausible reality." He notes that exoplanets with carbon-based interiors could exhibit a range of surface features, atmospheric compositions and potential for oceans or life.

It wouldn't be the first diamond discovered in space. In 2004, researchers identified a former white dwarf star that has compressed and hardened into a giant diamond 25,000 miles across — or 10 billion trillion trillion carats. They named it Lucy, as in "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds," the famous Beatles song.

So girls get ready.
One day you will reach there to get all these diamonds.
