Terror in the Anthropocene NZ

Posted 20th March 2019 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ

It is tough to look at the Christchurch Terror Attack through the prism of reason one can go down a rabbit hole of many convergent truly terrible mistakes.

One way of seeing where we are at it that our society is adapting to the Anthropocene Era we now live in, we don’t like it and we want to fight it in some form or other. At the moment our most powerful Leaders are fighting it with every thing they got including fear, lies and violence to keep their Diaspora from becoming irrelevant in this new age.

This is not new for humanity but now we do not have the benefit of geographical isolation we once did.
I am afraid reason says we will have to learn from the third world and just work around it and hope for better leaders.

Also get the CIA and FBI a budget again for monitoring ALL bad guys not just politically selected ones !

Maybe feeling some remorse about drone strikes would be nice to show we are not monsters.

US Paranoia Spills over to NZ

Posted 17th March 2019 to the Southland Times Newspaper Invercargill NZ

It is very sad that the United States perpetual war on all non Saudi Muslims has spilled over to Australia and New Zealand, 
especially effecting those workers who came to to Christchurch to help rebuild the city or generally help to keep our businesses going.

It all seemed so surreal we needed to go to the Invercargill Mosque it see the flowers place there by caring kiwi hands to mark what is a real trauma to our society both here and globally.  If you have had a guts-full Just remember in the age of the smart phone we are all citizens of the Globe and we are all potential citizen journalists.
