California burning…
Forests are crying, while they die… animals try to survive and run away while they force to leave their homes; and most of them died…
Meanwhile,
A young man…
What a beautiful human being you are!
HE SAVED THE HONOR OF HUMAN BEINGS!
Maybe just for a moment, but he saved…
While the hypocrite politicians cry crocodile tears, and while they mess up the planet earth with capitalist-imperialist elites by hand to hand, those like that young man try to save the earth in reality. They don’t do this to make show; they just do without any profit, applause; just do without thinking themselves. Already did not mankind make planet to this shape with thousands of applause and appreciation? Same mankind, didn’t utter of wars with great applause and enthusiasm? Did not it embrace the politicians while they slaughtered the people, while their words were sheeding blood? And don’t they still do?
Meanwhile a young man puts his life on the danger and tries to save little rabbit…
While the axe of wars are not burying in the ground yet, some people come out of different corners of the planet earth, and they show the actually what life it is.
One of them is a 11 years old girl from Turkey; in February 2017, she saved a little new born kid at the hard and sharp mountain road under the snow.
When she returned from school, she went to goat pen at mountain slope and saw that one of the goats gave a birth. She immediately has put the little kid into the school bag and tied it back of her dog, and the she picked mother goat up on her back. A 10-kilometer-long road went up the hill. Someone else saw her while entering the slope and took her photo.
While the politicians and elites mess up the planet, she has only thought to save little kid…
And two other them from Russia,
They saved a dog…
Two road workers in the Karelian region of Russia’s border with Finland rescued a dog which was about to freeze in the iced lake.
While the politicians and elites mess up the planet, their only thought was to save the dog…
And I know that there are many of them on the planet, but I could put only four of them in my post.
Probably if this planet still stands up, because of it is for the sake of those people and the people who have and share same thoughts and feelings… for not anything else.
…
And I don’t know why but when I think that people who save the honor of human beings, always this song is singing into my mind. Maybe I am in hope while think them; this song is to all my earthling friends, and for those beatiful humans!
Welcome to our traditional new year’s post, my Earthling friends! 🙂 Yes, again we will open the new year with a song from Iron Maiden. Up the Irons! Yahuuuu!
This has been kind of totem for WD and me. We already listen this fabulous band in every day of whole year. But we cannot find a proper time for adding in any post in whole year, except the new year’s eve, because of the full effective news of the world agenda.
-My agenda is always related with lady dogs, beer and good foods. You speak for yourself Migo!
-Ok my agenda, WD.
-You see! You confess!
-Can you let me continue to this post.
-All right, but not for you. I am a sensetive dog and I am thinking my beloved followers not you alien!
And, last year our song from Iron Maiden was “No more lies”. This year our expectations again are very realistic from 2017. This new year is coming like a birth child of 2016. This new born child is not full with happiness, and I am sorry for saying this. But it will excatly same with the song.
Everyone’s waiting for something to happen
Everybody’s waiting for something to see
Lunatics waiting for bigger disasters
Everyone’s waiting for news on TV
Winding lives at the end of the spiral
Waiting dictators with their next big thrill
Everyone’s looking but no one is listening
Everybody wants to be in at the kill
I wait for the signs, they tell me true
I see the signs of the end time
Everyone’s searching but nothing’s revealing
Everyone’s looking for the reason why
Everyone’s hoping for life everafter
Everyone’s looking at death from the sky
Everyone’s nightmares are going to happen
Everybody’s ripping the mask from their eyes
Everyone’s praying but no one’s believing
Everybody’s heroes tell everyone’s lies
I wait for the signs, they tell me true
I see the signs of the end
So I watch and I wait and I pray for an answer
An end to the strife and the world’s misery
But the end never came and we’re digging the graves
And we’re loading the guns for the kill
Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand, future memory of our tragedy?
Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand, future memory of our tragedy?
….
I’d like to write good things about the hopes. But the hope sometimes could bring devistate, if it is build on empty-dreams. This is what the planet we live in, my Earthling friends!
But can you ask me, is there any way out of this bad situation? Yes, of course it is! There is always a way out!
Let me I tell you a joke about it.
To escape from the mental hospital, the mental patients make a plan. According to the plan they have done, if the hospital’s garden walls are high, they will dig down the bottom of the wall, and if the hospital’s garden walls are low, they will run away by jumping over it. They would pick one of them to measure the walls’ height. The patient goes to the garden border and passes back for telling his observations to the others:
“No walls in the garden, friends, we can not escape from here.”
🙂
The humanity is on the same point in here! There are no barriers exactly, but the barriers have found a place for themselves in he brains as if they were in real. In fact, for every subject, a way out can be found.
As the same great commander Hannibal said, “we would find new ways or open new ways!”
This must be the way of mankind, or more precisely for enlightened and awakened human beings, as of this year. Because for both 2017 and others will come, the heights of the non-walls will increase more and more years by years. To not squeeze in front of barriers, not to be squeezed by 1% of the human beings who are always mentioned, before it’s too late.
“We would find new ways, or open new ways!”
This planet is very precious to not to be left to the hands of %1!
-Will you finish the post Migo, the world will opening the first day of the new year, but you still write! In the minutes a reporter from Kiribati will give the news!
-Oh yes, you right!
-Come on Migo!
-And for the enlightened and awakened human beings also all creatures both animals and plants, we wish a healthy and peacefull year!
. The Battle of Oaxaca Gustavo Esteva La Jornada, 20th June 2016 It isn’t simply another of the many Oaxaca wars. It is part of a much deeper and wider war, which isn’t even contained in the national territory. But the battle being waged in Oaxaca has special significance in that war, in the great war.
It is a long announced battle. In Oaxaca it was known that they were postponing many aspects of the ongoing confrontation until after the elections. It was clear that after the elections the blows, provocations, final assault would worsen. They began preparations everywhere.
On June 14, all Oaxaca was remembering. It was a remembrance against the forgetting: today’s scenario seemed to be a faithful mirror of 10 years ago. We were seeing a rerun of the same movie: the teacher mobilization, the sit-in the zócalo, the marches, the teachers’ demands, a fierce media campaign … And the authorities again betting, as then, on Section 22 getting exhausted; on growing citizen irritation; on the people’s fear of violence and loss of income and jobs.
The June 14 march that arrived at Oaxaca City’s zócalo expressed residual experience. For nearly 10 hours, alongside the teachers in their encampment, many diverse sectors creatively expressed the ways in which today memory inspires action.
The Espacio Civil, Civil Space, is a new arrangement of very different kinds of groups and organizations, who are retaking the experience of 2006 to give it new forms. Their declaration “Ten Years Building New Roads” was formulated in the framework of government violence “to impose the bad so-called education reform” and in the context of “an exemplary teacher and popular resistance to the imminent risk that the black repressive night we lived through on the November 25, 2006, might return.”
Oaxaca’s civil society spoke out with conviction for the necessity of learning from 2006, “not only to close a cycle that left us full of wounds and pains but to open new stages of struggle that we might not make the same mistakes and that we might absorb the positive teachings of the movement.
“Today many people are struggling to defend their territory against mining, windfarms, and for respect of their autonomy and their uses and customs, their culture, for the care of their natural resources, their forests, the water and biodiversity. Today we consider it necessary to further the construction of a common agenda that might unify teachers, neighbourhoods, pueblos, young people, women, adults in fullness, and all those of us who aspire to and are willing to struggle for Oaxaca and a better Mexico.”
At the start of the Day of Reflection 2006-2016, Espacio Civil issued a call to strengthen the teachers’ movement and the struggles of neighbourhoods, communities and pueblos to bring down the labour reform disguised as educational reform and the structural reforms and to stop the repression. Only together, it was emphasized, “will we achieve the release of our political prisoners, the safe return of our disappeared, and that a long night of pain and repression against the teachers and neighbourhoods and pueblos of Oaxaca might not be repeated.”
On that day they began to blockade the roads. In Nochixtlán and on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the people took to the street to close passage to truckloads of militarized police heading to Oaxaca City. Aircraft began arriving at the Oaxaca Airport. Many thousands of people, from all sectors of society, encouraged and supported the blockades, and they began to weave social solidarity.
Human Rights Groups Issue Communiqué
On Saturday afternoon, the Tepeyac Human Rights Centre of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and the Network of Community Defenders of the Peoples of Oaxaca issued a communiqué in which they considered absurd and senseless the federal government’s response to social protest. They argued that the escalation of violence exhibits a political class that seeks to perpetuate itself
“in the logic of power and confrontation, rather than promoting opportunities for dialogue that might open channels to this fractured democracy.”
At the same time, they appreciated the wisdom of women and men of the pueblos, groups and emerging groups in
“proposing a creative resistance, pondering the meaning of life and building a just society.”
Oaxaca is burning. There is clear awareness of the moment of danger. Therefore, from every corner, an appeal is sent out today for courage—both the courage that expresses moral outrage shared by a growing number of people and the courage that means valour, integrity and the ability to walk with dignity and clarity in these dark times. The battle has just begun. Translation by Jane Brundage
This advertisement was made by LOSEV (Turkey Foundation for Children with Leukemia)
The boy says in the advertisement that
“My name is Serdar, my mother and my father loves me so much,
and my doctor and my nurses loves me too(while he takes his periwig off),
can you hold my hand before sleeping tonight?”
This advertisement and the other advertisements of LOSEV are not being allowed to broadcast on tv as public service ad at Turkey becuase of Radio and Television Supreme Council. (at Turkey RTSC decides to every tv broadcasting and it totaly belongs to government, and in Turkey some foundation can have many field at broadcasting because of they are pro-government, some can’t, LOSEV cannot have.)

Two days ago, PayPal announced that the company will stop its operations in Turkey in effective from 6th June 2016. And added “Customers can log in to your PayPal account balance in the account and, if there is an applicable money, they can be transfer that money to bank accounts in Turkey.”
So many PayPal users or customers in Turkey. And it left the money in their PayPal accounts. These accounts mostly small figures intı the accounts, like 5, 10 Turkish liras, 1-2 USD or Avro. And so many costumer probably won’t intent to take back these money form the back. And one Eksi Sozluk‘s user (Eksi Sozluk is a participant discussing social platform in Turkey last 17 years, even Eksi Sozluk more popular than twitter in Turkey) started a compaign for these money accounts. These small money started to transfer to LOSEV (Turkey Foundation for Children with Leukemia)
LOSEV is making really good works for the children with Leukemia in Turkey. And they stand with the donations.
The campaign has spread immediatly to the social media, like via twitter. And according to LOSEV twitter account into just last 24 hours, fund-raised;

37 innocent people have been killed at the Ankara massacre, 13 March 2016. In these days their funerals have been made. There were the react and angry outcries against PKK terrorist organization and AKP’s policies. In here I’d like to share some of them. Many stories have been left behind them. And I know also anything cannot be told enough for their stories, and for their familes and friends.

You will never forget my son’s name. Look at my son’s eyes. You will get drowned. You will drowned in my son’s blood! My son’s murderer is one vampire, which isn’t saturated with blood!
Destina Peri Parlak– age 16, student, she was killed at Ankara 13 March

Eyup Ulas, age 37, he was killed at Ankara 13 March
He was married and a father of two children.
and the other twenty five people…
Last 3 days, I haven’t seen to much attention for the Ankara massacre by world public. WHY? Same questions was asked by an English music man who lives in Ankara. James Taylor shared these lines from his facebook account.
‘You were Charlie, you were Paris. Will you be Ankara?’
here his writing:
“For those who do not know Turkey, or who distance themselves from these attacks, maybe this will open your eyes.
The bombing this evening occurred in the one of the most crowded parts of the centre of town, next to many bus stops with people waiting to go home, arriving for a night out, and sitting in the park relaxing and drinking tea.Is is the equivalent of a bomb going off outside Debenhams on the Drapery in Northampton, or on New street in Birmingham, or Piccadilly Circus in London.Can you imagine being there? Can you imagine the place you walk past every day, the bus stops you use, the roads you cross being obliterated.Can you imagine the victims?
The teenagers catching the bus to go home, the grandparents walking into town, the people waiting for a taxi after a long day laughing and socialising in the sun.Now imagine they were english, and this attack was in England. If these people were instead the people you see every day on your way to work, people just like you and I, normal, happy people. Families, policemen, students, artists, couples. Your friends maybe. These people are no different. They just happen to be Turkish.
Contrary to what many people think, Turkey is not the Middle East. Ankara is not a war zone, it is a normal modern bustling city, just like any other European capital, and Kizilay is the absolute heart, the centre.It is very easy to look at terror attacks that happen in London, in New York, in Paris and feel pain and sadness for those victims, so why is it not the same for Ankara? Is it because you just don’t realise that Ankara is no different from any of these cities? Is it because you think that Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country, like Syria, like Iraq, like countries that are in a state of civil war, so therefore it must be the same and because you don’t care about those ones, then why should you care about Turkey?
If you don’t believe that these attacks in Ankara affect you, or you can’t feel the same pain you felt during the Paris or London attacks, then maybe you should stop to think why, why is it that you feel like that. Turkey is an amazing country with truly wonderful people. I have never felt more welcome, more happy, more safe than I do here.Ankara is my home, it has been for the last 18 months, and it will continue to be my home.You were Charlie, you were Paris. Will you be Ankara?”
And my question and my following words are for those who shared France flag and condemned the terror at Paris but don’t see Ankara massacres. Last 5 months about 200 people were killed at Ankara by PKK and ISIS. But I don’t see same reaction like Paris. WHY?
Because of you don’t like AKP government and Tayyip Erdogan policies! Is this your answer? I don’t like any government at EU and USA, but this is not preventing my sadness to any victims of terror at these contries. This is about deep instict. Let’s confess; You never liked the people of any east country, including Turkey, Russia, Iran, Syria or etc in real. You never seen as valuable of the people’s life at east. Please tell the face the victims of terror at above picture, “your life is not valuable more than the people at west.”
If my words are hard for you I want to give a simple example besides houndreds.
Mesut Ozil is a Turkish origin football player, and playing at Arsenal football team. He shared his sadness with a tweet for Ankara massacre. And most people chanced the hashtag “pray for Ankara” as “pray for Arsenal”scoffingly , you can see their replies.
Anyway, this is just one example.
Let’s confess; You just like to share photos of victims at Middle East for catching attention by public. You always like the drama, because you now that drama is most neccesary thing for being popular of you. You never thought actually. You never wanted to think actually.
This is hypocrisy. Ohh no, isn’t it! It is! And, I give you a tip:
Quote from the article: “What we are told to believe is prosperity, is really just an elegant trap, an illusion. And at the very top of this pyramid of lies is the dark secret as to why we all have to work so hard in order to experience life on planet earth.” It is quite right! Thank you for sharing this article with us my dear Earthling friend!
The lawsuit against the refugees’ deal: It was sued to EU Court of Justice
The consensus which was made between Turkey and EU to get under the control of immigrants which the majority is composed of Syrian refugees, went on trial. AYVA foundation which has established in Izmir city of Turkey and STOP ngo, within the scope of the understanding of stopping migration at EU borders and locking inside Turkey, and on demand the determination of measures including administrative and the lack of political solutions, has litigated.
The representatives of AYVA and STOP have made a call to EU commission and European Council about the refugee problem in the meeting hall of Izmir Bar Association with a press conference.
One of the AYVA representatives journalist Feyzi Hepsenkal said in his explaining:
“Refugee issue is a matter of human rights first and foremost. You cannot solve Syrian refugees issue by locking them inside Turkey. Your thoughts that you inflict the problems related with social and security created by refugees on Turkey, are showing that you didn’t understand the issue and you’re in big wrong. You cannot stop the refugees’ flow with this way. You made the connection between the problem of Syrian refugees and visa liberalization for Turkey citizens and EU accession process of Republic of Turkey; this is problematic in terms of ethic. You should see this frame that you wanted to create over human life, damages to positive perception of EU values which occured in many years.”
Hepsenkal said that the refugees die with fluttering as well as the latest example in Ayvalik and Dikili(*), the humanity is drowned openly and it is seen that EU is accepting the understanding of irregular migration is stopped at EU borders and locking inside Turkey. He continued to his explanation:
“We are warning:
Exhibited approach is contrary to,
– The relating to Status of Refugees (Geneva) contract, 28 July 1951
– The protocol relating to Status of Refugess, 1967
– The principle of “refoulement” which has been accepted by UN High Commissioner of Refugees as a mandatory rule of international law
– Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 14 paragraph 1, 10 December 1948
– European Convention relating to Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, 4 November 1950, Rome
With this reason, we make an application to Presidency of Court of Justice EU by examining the inadequate solution which was found by political leaders and with the thought of creating jurisprudence decisions. In the process that we started, we call everyone for solidarity.”
The representative, lawyer Senih Ozay said that Europe entered into shock because of refugees. Ozay said: “EU said let give 3 billion Euros to Turkey. They say that they would provide the visa facilitation and the refugees stay in Turkey. EU agreed with Prime Minister of Turkey, Davutoglu. We also prepared our application to international court. We’re hopeful. Maybe with this sued, it would be taken an important decision for solving the issue of refugees.”
Besides if you want to see what happen at Aegean Sea, you just write “Aegean Sea and refugees” or in Turkish “Ege’de multeciler” at google. You can see how the horror continues boths side of Aegean Sea, so at coast of Turkey and Greece despite cold and rough sea. This tragedy was never decline, it continues to increase day by day.
As you can see, any deal between the politicians cannot work for refugees problem. I hope with this sued EU Court of Justice would make realistic and constructive decision for humanity.
Today, police forces in Greece have attacked to the people who protesting 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos killing by a police. 13 people were detained. Greek police took under custody 13 people including 6 children.
7 years passed over Alexis’s killing by police.
January 2015, I had written an article about Alexis. Some of my Earthling friends will remember. For those who want to read, my writing about him:
I had quoted an announcement written by his friends at his funeral. They had written these lines to the adults.
You’ve forgotten…
We’ve expected from you to support us,
Even if it would be once time in your life, we were expecting that you made us proud.
In vain…
You are living lie life,
You’ve knuckled down,
You’ve took off your underpants and you are waiting for the day you will die.
You don’t have a dream, you do not fell in love
You do not create.
You are only selling and buying.
The materiality is in everywhere
Love is in nowhere, truth is in nowhere
Where are the parents, where are the artists?
Why don’t they go out and protect us?
They’re killing us…
Help us…
Signature: CHILDREN
Maybe, there is no place for children inside adults human world on this planet. Today, I want that we just remember his name once again. This beatiful brave human child was the target of attacks while he fought for a better planet. Maybe we just should say his name aloud! And perhaps he will hear us and realise that he would be remembered and he will smile. Alexis Grigoropoulos!
“…More than 300 slavery and migration scholars respond to those advocating for military force against migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean. This is no slave trade. Where is the moral justification for actions that cost lives?…..
European Union political leaders have announced that their response to the staggering loss of life amongst migrants crossing the Mediterranean in unseaworthy vessels will be the use of force to smash the so-called ‘networks’ that operate out of Libya to orchestrate the perilous sea crossings. How? On May 11, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini stated that “No one is thinking of bombing. I’m talking about a naval operation,” but two days later, the Guardian reported on a leaked strategy paper for an EU mission in the Mediterranean and in Libyan territorial waters proposing an air and naval campaign. This, the paper said, would lead to ‘collateral damage’. In other words, adults and children boarding or aboard the vessels under attack might be killed. With or without bombs, such ‘collateral damage’ is already a known product of the measures being employed by the EU to push back, deter, and divert migrants, including those seeking asylum. ..
The European Union is putting its plans for a military intervention in the Mediterranean and North Africa into action. The decision was made by EU foreign and defence ministers at a meeting in Brussels on Monday.
A press release states: “The Council has agreed today (18 May) to establish an EU military operation—EUNAVFOR Med—to break the business model of smugglers and traffickers of people in the Mediterranean. This decision, which is one element of the comprehensive EU response to the migration challenge, will enable the formal start of the operational planning for the naval operation.”
The first phase of the mission to uncover the smuggling networks and their routes will begin immediately, to be followed by a second and third phase “that would work to search, seize and disrupt the assets of smugglers.”
