The  #hashtag Millennial Generation is the most smug generation in their self righteous morality in the history of civilization, and that includes the Victorians, and that is saying something.  In 2050, their #hashtag morality will be put to the ultimate test, as future President Selena Gomez Joli-Uhuru  will have to make a decision on the cosmological  plight of 30 million Bangladeshis. For those Millennials with diminished math skills, that is merely 35 years away. The People's Republic of Bangladesh ( Gônôprôjatôntri Bangladesh ), used to be part of the British Indian Empire, the British Raj. In the 1947 partition of the Raj between Muslim Pakistan and Hindu India, Bangladesh, being overwhelmingly Muslim, opted to join the Republic of Pakistan. Pakistan became a nation of Muslims, divided into West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh), and separated by 1200 km of Indian Territory (740 miles). Bangladesh  was and is bordered by India on the west, north,...

On September 18, 2014, the ancient land of the Celts and Picts, Scotland, held an independence referendum to decide, by democratic vote, whether to sever, forever, the United Kingdom, the  union between Great Britain and Caledonia, which had been in effect since 1707. The Union vote felled the Independence vote, 55% to 45%. The result was a shock to the British pundits, for the last poll before the vote had independence winning 51% to 49%. What changed? One man made the difference; the media will say that man was Scottish former Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. Brown, is the son of a Presbyterian (Church of Scotland, Scotland’s official church) Minister; Rev. Brown was a good and decent man who blunted the savage comfort of Presbyterian Elitism with a great respect for the Social Conscience.  Gordon Brown’s father was and is held in great respect in Scotland. The newly minted legend of the 9-18-2014 Scottish Independence Referendum is that Gordon Brown, a ...

For the 25 th time since the current Ukrainian-Russian Crisis began, the UN Security Council met on the issue. US Ambassador Samantha Power shrilly warned Russian President Vladimir Putin to cease and desist from his support of Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine, who want to divorce from Western Ukraine. Samantha Power is a pedestrian former self-righteous journalist; Vladimir Putin is a former Colonel of the KGB, a position that one does not achieve by media savvy, or popularity within the Media Elite. Putin became a Colonel in the KGB, one of the most merit based organizations on Earth, by wedding an understanding of history’s lessons, an instinctive grasp of the modern moment and a post modern vision of Europe after the decline and fall of American Leadership. Vladimir Putin is the most formidable European Leader to challenge the established order since Otto von Bismarck. In real life terms, Samantha Power warning Vladimir Putin to stay out of  Ukraine is like JAR ...

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s event is as historically significant as Henry VIII declaring himself head of the Catholic Church in Eng...
