Lebanon Blast


Two years ago exactly on this day Beirut experienced a massive blast in one of it's ports. Whereby large amounts of nitrous compound had been stored nearby with the owners not claiming it for very long. Which came as a shipment to the ports. Having left the highly combustible and toxic cargo uncared for improperly has been the cause of the blasts. Thousands of people injured and left tens of thousands homeless. The blast torn apart buildings and homes nearby shattered and completely damaged.

For two years hence, the investigation had been stalled. This was a human rights issue for the the nature how human lives were not adequately safeguarded. The repercussions of this blast and the heat due to the summer is being felt in the region. The people who were responsible is still unclear and in limbo.

There has to be major steps to be taken in this direction. This can happen and it leaves the risk of human rights not to be properly addressed also in the future if the persons are not brought before justice responsible for this tragedy. It's both a human as well as an economic tragedy for the people. The government has to come up neatly with a paper explaining the cause for this tragedy on this second anniversary. Trust and confidence building campaigns and measures must start to prevent any such incident in the future. The anniversary must be remembered every year as a reminder in the future. The spade work needs to start immediately bringing back trust and confidence in the region.

The Taliban

This isn't the time to talk of any investments. First and foremost you have to show leadership to attract any investments. Not just saying we welcome anybody. This isn't foreign policy. That means subtly saying in the future we will allow anyone to use our country as a base to carry out any terrorist activity. This will create instability in the region from drugs, weapons and equipment. Can you introduce us to the team probing into the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri? It's almost one year completed you still act like a group. Can you call for a referendum because you say that the people must want education for girls and women. Can you bring your people to vote whether they want education for girls and women? Just saying that people must decide on women and girls education, who are these people? Are they people in your group or the afghan population? You are open to have any agreement with anyone, but for this region we need openness for anyone in this region to tru...

The Endless Cycle of Misinformation and Deflection: Biden, Harris, and the 2024 Campaign

For four long years, a column was being written in the press, a persistent narrative that followed President Joe Biden through his term in office. Every time Biden faced tough questions or criticism, he would pause, take a deep breath, and yell back, branding the conversation as either "misinformation" or "disinformation." It became almost a hallmark of his response—deflecting any criticism by labeling it as part of some broader, nefarious campaign to distort the truth.  This strategy came full circle the day Biden signed his name to a critical decision: his reelection announcement for 2024. By deciding to run again, Biden’s reelection bid felt like the culmination of a column that had been continuously drafted, edited, and critiqued. His familiar refrain against “misinformation” became, in essence, the core message of his defense—any challenge to his policies or leadership was dismissed as an attack not based on facts but on falsehoods. But the story didn’t end the...
