A Glass Of Fresh Camel Milk!

A GLASS OF CAMEL MILK

 

The Value Chain of Wisdom.

 

 

As consumers, when we drink a glass of camel milk, we take for granted the chain of processes and services that delivered that nice glass of fresh (Smoked aroma) camel milk to our dinner tables.

 

The delivery of that glass of camel Milk starts with the green pastures, the rain season, the grazing of the she camel and how she is milked ( just like humans, she has to be in the right mood).

 

Like that fresh camel milk, everything in life has a value chain, where it progresses from something that seems useless to a complex thing that is optimized for a specific purpose.

 

A data point on a graph, may not mean much to a viewer, but the collection of many data points lead to a trend. Likewise, a trend may not be useful if another dimension is added, as it reduces again to a data point, however, a collection of different trends gives us the view of a wider picture, and as we rise above all these trends, we see a wholesome picture, much larger and much more indicative of the simplicity in the complexity of its parts.

 

For Example, We have a data point (e.g. temperature), a collection of data points give us a segment of a curve or a segment of line ( Information or trends of temperatures over a period), a collection of these lines give us a 3D Surface projection( Knowledge base ), and as we pool together a collection of knowledge from different researchers, we have what is known as "Theory" or in layman's terms, a (Wisdom). So Wisdom is the highest level of the intellectuality. Allah Says in Quraan " He who is granted Wisdom, has indeed been blessed with the greatest of gifts"

 

You see Nomad paesano, in this world of ours, not everyone likes everyone else, however, living together is possible, and its increasingly becoming necessary as we realize that the cost of getting rid of people we don't like is becoming expensive, we cant even throw fellow humans out of this planet as it costs more money launching them to outer space instead of incinerating them like Hitler did to the Jews ( Who have since created their own ethno-religious based State known as Israel on top of another nations land, and they are now busy giving the hell in return to oppressed Palestinians ), and as the Americans did to the American Indians ( who they've boozed to extinction to thank them for the turkey they served), and the Japanese ( who they've pulverized with a nuclear inferno), and the Vietnamese ( who they've Carpet Bombed, raped and killed by the thousands), and The Iraqis ( who they've inflamed their dormant sectarian hatred as a controlled demolition of a nation that stood united for ages) , and lately Somalis ( who they've messed up so bad through Ethiopian proxy peasant army invasion and molestation of a country, ( who for the past 20 years followed everything in the books of their teachers, the Americans, to empty Somalia of its people, unfortunately, the more Somalis are killed, the survivors seem to be spawning more babies making up for the dead which infuriates those who are trying to get rid of them). The moral here is, Its too expensive to get rid of people you hate.

 

So A better idea is for different people of different religions and cultures is to learn to live together. We don't have to love our neighbor literally, as Jesus taught Christians, we need just to try ( a bumper sticker reads : (God Loves you and I am trying).

 

You see Nomad paesano, today, technology is drawing peoples of different background too close for comfort, while warlord politicians and bad economic and political decisions they make are forcing many Somalis to leave their native towns like Kurtunwaarrey, to seek a safer havens in the west, which is already devastated by financial crisis in addition to a global warming hovering over our heads caused by deforestation, mass production and urbanization. In such a scenario, temperatures will rise as well as emotions, when your host country neighbor finds herself living next door to you, a funny looking neighbor who cooks aromatic foods that cause heartburn.

 

If the wave of this synthetic-wars-initiated migration continues, which is partially caused by the western countries Imperial designs in the third world. We will have the ripples of the regional wars spill over to the west, igniting the clash of civilizations in many western cities as immigrant populations swell and local sensitivities play to the emotions which can create bloody confrontations.

 

So, what is the solution.

 

I think the west has to come in terms with the realities of the times.

 

1. There will be more chocolate people than vanilla people on earth before the end of this century. (Due to global warming which will make most of the planets inhabitants chocolate colored, Personally, I like both flavors)

 

2. There will be more Muslims than followers of any other faith on earth before the end of this century. All adherents of other faiths are rapidly on the decline, while adherents of Islam, either by birth rate or by conversion is alarmingly increasing to the Neo-cons nightmare

 

3. Muslims are being radicalized at a faster rate by Neo-con policies of hegemony and wild goose chase.

 

Radicalization, means, more and more Muslims will be going back to their culture and roots ( the Arabic word Salafia, literally means, going back to original teachings of Islam as practiced by the first three generations of Islamc Caliphate), and in the same manner in which Jews were radicalized after the horrible holocaust to produce men like Sharon and a state like Israel.

 

The question then is; what is the wisdom in dealing with this global phenomena with more of the same undue strategy of bloodshed and madness? ( Madness is defined as "doing the same thing over and over expecting to get a different result")

 

 

Why NOT:

 

1. Allow a Model Muslim State to be established in a single Muslim country for all to see and judge accordingly, free market competition also icludes faith and ideologies. If Jews can have their dream state with western funding, why cant Muslims have their own dream model state in their countries? is it for fear that the west will be in short supply of taxi drivers?

 

If the west stops meddling in the Muslim world, a great number of them will put an Islamist government in power, which is exactly what the west fears, similarly, like how your western neighbors perceive you, their Neo-con leaders think the Islamists will cook too spicy a policy that will cause a heartburn very hard to digest.

 

In Somalia, the CIA is closely working to make sure that any government that comes to power is a pro-western government ( meaning a quasi protectorate like Puerto Rico only this one is paid by the UN handouts to keep em hungry and always begging), and hence, the current perceived division of the Islamic resistance who may have been infiltrated by their adversaries).

 

So, in effect, the CIA reasons, if we cant get the clowns of the Somali TFG to run the country on our behalf according to our best interest and schedule, then, let us work with the moderate elements of the Islamists. ( in political relativistic terms, both sides, have moderates, and since opposites attract, the extremists in the white house, the NEO-CONS, prefer to work with "moderates" that meet their demands without objections)

 

What is wrong with this formula?

 

Well, the CIA is prolonging the agony, why not cut it short and do business directly with the radical Islamists? since the other side of the conflict, the neocons, are also radicals who are of late becoming Socialists by nationalizing failing financial institutions as well as totaliterians and fascists. Islam sponsors welfare for the poor, Neocons sponsor welfare for the rich, thus this global war on "Terror"

 

Because what the CIA sees as "radicals" in Somalia, are what the local Somalis see as the heroes who stand up to the Goliath Imperialists, historical arch-enemy Ethiopia, and the despicable ruthless warlords. As long as there is a confrontation and a conflict of interests, any Somali working with the invading/occupying Tigre army and their American masters will be seen as (disgraced ugly national traitors), sooner or later, they will meet the same fate like his Ethiopian Tigres fate, for good or bad, but there will be no place for them in Somalia's future no matter how forceful their masters try.

 

By aligning itself with the despised warlords, the USA has lost all respect among the previously unpolarized people who, before this confrontation, had no ideological predisposition to be against American interests in the region. Today the common Somali street person sees all the evil in the land as American Sponsored ( American war planes have just dropped tons of food, ( sorry, I meant BOMBS) for hungry Somalis on rural Somalia recently to kill some "terror" suspects and some collateral damage, dozens of people and their animals.

 

So, in a conflict of interest, the best way to resolve the conflict is with wisdom, which is the missing ingredient in the western political value-chain pot.

 

As we've said, the value chain that leads to wisdom begins with raw data, then, set of Information, then a Knowledge base, and at the end, a Pure Wisdom.

 

The CIA has collected a lot of (information) about Somalia, they know Somalis clan by clan, they can inflame hostilities in any which way they desire in a matter of days ( like the Olymics games), and if they want, can stop it by a phone call. They also have some (knowledgebase) provided by Somali pro-western "intellectuals", but unfortunately for America as well as for poor Somalia, the CIA seems to score ZERO in (Wisdom) to solve the dilemma in the horn. That is why its policies have failed consistently for the past 20 years and counting.

 

Well, solution of any problem lies squarely with those capable in sustaining it, namely, the parties to the conflict, since every other periphery party is a scavenger looking for side benefits by providing services to the parties in a conflict (The scavengers are, the United Nations, the NGOs, the neighboring countries, Kenya and Ethiopia, are all enjoying the prolonging of the Somali dilemma, thus the scavengers are winning financially, peace is their common threat.

 

But every day in which peace is blocked by the scavengers advice, the USA is wasting its valuable resources which it needs badly these days, diminishing its chances of reaching its own goals, and for Somalis, its even worse, they are at rock bottom, and they are digging even deeper.

 

 

Which brings us to the Wisdom.

 

 

The English say, Honesty, is the Best Best Policy. which is missing in politics!

 

If the Americans who have an interest in Somalia are not transparent about their motives and covert operations in Somalia, like how they lied about Iraq's WMD, their lie about Somalia can only work temporarily, until one day, truth surfaces.

 

So let us put forward what is the American geopolitical interest in Somalia.

 

George Bush The Father and the EX Boss of the CIA, summed up the objectives of the USA in Somalia in three points in 1990;

 

1. Strategic.

 

2. Economic.

 

3. Islamic Fundamentalism ( Today, its called Terrorism).

 

 

Remember in 1990 the Bin Laden Family was investing with the Bush Family in USA in defense contracting companies. And the late Sheikh Usaamah Bin Laden ( May Allah Have mercy on his soul, it is reported that he died in 2001 of kidney failure) was just emerging from his Jihad with the Soviets in Afghanistan as an ally of the USA.

 

1. The Strategic objective means that Somalia's Sovereignty has to be compromised, and has to yield to that of America since America is more powerful than Somalia economically and militarily, therefore, we have a conflict of interest, Somalia wants to be a little Sovereign nation, and America wants to make it a strategic guard post for other future wars in the oil rich region, ( Now they have to agree with Russians, as well as Somali Pirates and the Islamists on who should control Somalia's 3000 Kilometer long shores).

 

2. The Economic Objective is about OIL, American companies want Somali Oil and Gas rights exclusively, worried about the Chinese courtship of African countries including Somalia, this objective can be dealt with, with complete transparency if everyone follows market fundamentals of demand and supply ( But Noecon America wants all energy resources in the world to itself alone, greed is lethal)

 

3. Fighting Islamic Fundamentalists.

This objective is going to wear America out, and its allies in the long run, for the following reasons:

 

1. Wars, in economic terms, are loss making, the only wealth a war can produce is stealing other nations resources, but its a risky venture, because the booty is not guaranteed, just like it is in Iraq, which may be the root cause o Americas fall from its financial superpower status.

 

2. Islamic Fundamentalists will only increase with hostilities; that only beats the purpose. Every dead Muslim, creates ten Muslims angry at the west, and for every missile the USA hits with Somali goat herders, a survivor will be a ticking bomb for whoever he thinks killed his father, violence's vicious circle does not end if no wisdom is at hand.

 

3. Islamic Fundamentalism is an ideology, you cant fight an ideology with guns, because the guns will fight for it willingly, unlike the highly paid western armies, fighters for an ideology fight for free, and even sacrifice their lives for their ideologies. Guns don't remove ideologies, its ideologies that can remove guns, so a negotiated ideological confrontation may be more fruitful than proxy wars. Imagine if the famous Today Show in America hosts an ideological dialogue between the NEOCONS and the US Created Al QAEDA? I bet it would be very enlightening!

 

 

The above leads us to dealing with the problem with more wisdom.

 

OK, what do the Islamists in Somalia want?

 

Here is a Wisdom:

 

"Nothing is so powerful as an insight into human nature...what compulsions drive a man, what instincts dominate his action. If you know these things about a person, you can touch him at the core of his being" - William Bernbach.

 

 

Before we answer this question, an explanation of the above wisdom may be in order.

 

The Nobel prize Committee that has just announced the awards for human excellence in the sciences, the arts and world peace have not set up a prize for the understanding of the the complex human nature. We humans strive to understand everything around us except our very human nature. Machiavellian explanation of the human nature which dominates the political arena of the planet revolves around mankind"s fears and love for power, however, Machiavelli failed to understand the spiritual dimension that drive men of faith to brave overcoming the seemingly impossible challenges of life.

 

The human nature is in constant search for happiness, life and security. So, how do we explain when a young man in his early twenties abstains from drinking alcoholic beverages, extramarital sex, and parties? when all he wants to see is a just society, in which the poor are cared for, justice is administered to all, and peace prevails in the land so that he can focus on his pleasure of prayers and worship of his maker. How do we explain to that young man who have seen the result of his vision materialize for six months in Somalia, peace prevailing the land, and even the pirates halting their piracy while the law of Allah was high above the land, only to see it it stolen by the same criminals who held the nation hostage for twenty years while serving the strategic objectives of the "the free world"? How do we explain to that young man when the media tells him that the same criminals who push drugs, prostitution, who kill the innocent are hired to rule the country on behalf of their foreign bosses? and that he is a terrorist?

 

Before I go any further, I want to share this story with you, it is very inspiring, specially in these days, the moral of the story is that you can't lock up an idea, even if you don't like it!

 

It's the story of a place called Mouseland. Mouseland was a place where all the little mice lived and played, were born and died. And they lived much the same as you and I do.

 

They even had a Parliament. And every four years they had an election. Used to walk to the polls and cast their ballots. Some of them even got a ride to the polls. And got a ride for the next four years afterward too. Just like you and me. And every time on election day all the little mice used to go to the ballot box and they used to elect a government. A government made up of big, fat, black cats.

 

Now if you think it strange that mice should elect a government made up of cats, you just look at the history of Canada for last 90 years and maybe you'll see that they weren't any stupider than we are.

 

Now I'm not saying anything against the cats. They were nice fellows. They conducted their government with dignity. They passed good laws--that is, laws that were good for cats. But the laws that were good for cats weren't very good for mice. One of the laws said that mouseholes had to be big enough so a cat could get his paw in. Another law said that mice could only travel at certain speeds--so that a cat could get his breakfast without too much effort.

 

All the laws were good laws. For cats. But, oh, they were hard on the mice. And life was getting harder and harder. And when the mice couldn't put up with it any more, they decided something had to be done about it. So they went en masse to the polls. They voted the black cats out. They put in the white cats.

 

Now the white cats had put up a terrific campaign. They said: "All that Mouseland needs is more vision." They said:"The trouble with Mouseland is those round mouseholes we got. If you put us in we'll establish square mouseholes." And they did. And the square mouseholes were twice as big as the round mouseholes, and now the cat could get both his paws in. And life was tougher than ever. And when they couldn't take that anymore, they voted the white cats out and put the black ones in again. Then they went back to the white cats. Then to the black cats. They even tried half black cats and half white cats. And they called that coalition. They even got one government made up of cats with spots on them: they were cats that tried to make a noise like a mouse but ate like a cat.

 

You see, my friends, the trouble wasn't with the colour of the cat. The trouble was that they were cats. And because they were cats, they naturally looked after cats instead of mice.

 

Presently there came along one little mouse who had an idea. My friends, watch out for the little fellow with an idea. And he said to the other mice, "Look fellows, why do we keep on electing a government made up of cats? Why don't we elect a government made up of mice?" "Oh," they said, "he's a Bolshevik. Lock him up!"

 

So they put him in jail.

 

But I want to remind you: that you can lock up a mouse or a man but you can't lock up an idea.

We Attack Problems, Not People!

[Nur]

As I was reading some old articles, I found this interesting article unexpectedly validating my claim "Theory" that Climate Change, or Global Warming, may cause more unrest in the world due to migration which will bring people too close for comfort.

 

Here is what I wrote above:

 

" You see Nomad paesano, today, technology is drawing peoples of different background too close for comfort, while warlord politicians and bad economic and political decisions they make are forcing many Somalis to leave their native towns like Kurtunwaarrey, to seek a safer havens in the west, which is already devastated by financial crisis in addition to a global warming hovering over our heads caused by deforstation, mass production and urbanization. In such a scenario, temperatures will rise as well as emotions, when your host country neighbour finds herself living next door to you, a funny looking neighbor who cooks aromatic foods that cause heartburn."

 

 

Here is the article that partially validates some of my insights whose logic is based on the following inferences:

 

1. Islam represents a strategic obstacle to Nato's vision of world order structure which they approve as a good and just order.

 

2. When few Muslims act in desparation to this "Just World Order", causing human tragedy, this is seen as utmost threat and its not differentiatied from Islam, a faith that is more concerned about preservation of human life, property, intellect, and family. Imagine if the Holocaust was seen as a Christian attrocity on Jews? Al Qaeda are accused with deaths of fews thousands, Germans are accused to have killed six million Jews.

 

3. The NATO generals believe that if the planet overheats, that the international war on terror will become very uncomfortable, every soldier will need to carry his own portable airconditioning, while airfoce and navy will find more flooding and tornadoes make their pursuit of Elvis Presley in the rugged hot mountains of Afghanistan very difficult due to the 50+ heat.

 

4. Its reasoned that the temperature rise of one degree C, will correspond with a ten fold increase in terror attacks against western forces in Muslim countries, due to increasing poverty and joblessnes ( which casues people to stay home more often, producing more babies who throw stones at occupation forces).

Climate change 'a threat to security'

 

By Mark Turner at the United Nations and Fiona Harvey in London

 

Published: April 17 2007 03:00 | Last updated: April 17 2007 03:00

 

Climate change threatens to prolong the war on terrorism and foster political instability that governments will be unable to cope with, an influential panel of 11 retired US generals has warned.

 

Their urgent message comes on the eve of a special United Nations Security Council meeting on the security implications of climate change, convened by the UK in an attempt to bring home the wider impact of global warming.

 

The new US military report, commissioned by the government-financed Center for Naval Analyses, lays out strong support for a link between climate change and terrorism.

 

Admiral T. Joseph Lopez, the former commander-in-chief of US Naval Forces Europe and of Allied Forces, Southern Europe and a member of the panel, said: "Climate change can provide the conditions that will extend the war on terror. In the long term, we want to address the underlying conditions that terrorists seek to exploit, but climate change will prolong those conditions. It makes them worse."

 

The report describes climate change as "a threat multiplier for instability in some of the most volatile regions of the world", which will "seriously exacerbate already marginal living standards in many Asian, African and Middle Eastern nations, causing widespread political instability and the likelihood of failed states".

 

To make matters worse, the military experts warned climate change offered a challenge much more complex than conventional security threats because ofits potential to create "multiple chronic conditions, occurring globally within the same time frame".

 

As governments failed, they said, the US mightbe drawn more frequently into unstable situations abroad, and at home could experience "mounting pressure to accept large numbers of immigrant and refugee populations".

 

Jonathan Pershing, a director at the World Resources Institute, an environmental think-tank in Washington, said the report marked a "major shift in thinking".

 

Douglas Johnson, research professor of national security affairs at the Strategic Studies Institute, said: "A few years ago no one gave a flip . . . Now, [climate change] is becoming a serious possibility, so we ought to have a plan for it."

 

"We will pay for this one way or another," said Anthony C. Zinni, former commander of US forcesin the Middle East. "We will pay to reduce greenhouse gas emissions today, and we'll have to take aneconomic hit of some kind. Or, we will pay the price later in military terms. And that will involve human lives. There will be a human toll."

 

One of the recommendations of the military advisory panel was that "the US must commit to a stronger national and international role to help stabilise climate change at levels that will avoid significant disruption to global security and stability".

Thank You Mr. Natanyahu, Mrs Levni Power Duo of the World.

 

I knew I can count on you guys for approving an Islamic State to be established in Somalia.

 

See how easy it was?

 

Sheikh Shareef pleads with the AU that Somalia can not be ruled with secular laws, Islamic Sharia is the only way. The AU calls Ban ki Moon of the UN, who in turns calls EU who calls Obama who calls Levni and Natanyahu to approve an Islamic Government in Somalia.

 

Presto, now Somalia will have the first ever Islamic State approved by the United Nations!

 

 

This is as Historic as Obama Presidency!
