Maxiavelli: The Prayer that Embodies Teachings of All Religions

Italian Landscape by Antal Ligeti "Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done, o n earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. And never bring us into temptation, but deliver us from evil." (Matthew 6:9-13) As any prayer, this is one that is so simple yet so deep. I always found it interesting because it embodies the teachings of all religions in the world; being, thus, an universal prayer that could be said by any individual professing any religion. "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your Name." Despite not being visible; despite remaining in occultation; God's name is to be sanctified through our actions (e.g. to follow His basic rules [the Tens Commandments are a start] and fulfil the mission bestowed upon each and everyone of us). "May Your kingdom come. May Your will be done, on ea

Blind Trusts: Not Illegal but potential National Security Risk

Salome with the Head of the Baptist by Caravaggio Blind Trust : “A trust in which the executors have full discretion over the assets, and the trust beneficiaries have no knowledge of the holdings of the trust. Blind trusts are generally used when a trustor wishes to keep the beneficiary unaware of the specific assets in the trust, such as to avoid conflict of interest between the beneficiary and the investments.” (Source: investopedia ) What are the implications of this sort of Trust and, should a politician and, above all, a presidential candidate invest in a blind trust? A blind trust can have two implications: The executors of the trust take the beneficiary’s money and invest it in a pool of investment used to laundry money belonging to Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda or even Iran. This would basically mean that a politician/presidential candidate could be, in fact, sponsoring terror activities against the nation it serves/runs to serve and protect. Since the beneficia

Maxiavelli: When Political Activists Patrol your Patriotism

Patrol by László Mednyánszky Are you a patriot? Has any political activist tried to make you pay the price for it? I heard, a few years ago, that many Americans travelling abroad say they are Canadians to avoid the typical anti-Americanism, harassment or to keep from being attacked even. Those who set themselves to verbal and physically attack Americans will justify their stupidity and animalistic behaviour by blaming the policies carried out by the American government; however their justification isn’t a reasonable ground for defence. Last March, a patriotic Israeli student (in Scotland) was studying in his room where an Israeli flag was hung on the wall. He had a room-mate who was drunk and unconscious. The room-mate’s friends came to visit and when noticing the Israeli national symbol on the wall , “ one of them, opened his trouser, rubbed his hands over his genitals and then rubbed them over the flag.” They also called him a terrorist and urinated in the sink. Wh

Central African Republic: The Islamist Assault

On the 24th of March 2013, the Central African Republic (CAR) witnessed yet another coup d'état. President François Bozizé (who first got to power via a coup) was overthrown by Michel Djotodia, the leader of Séléka (a rebel coalition group). CAR is a very appealing country to many political actors due to its natural wealth: minerals, uranium, oil, gold, diamonds, lumber and arable land. Its religious make-up is the following: 50% of Christians, 35% of animists and 15% of Muslims. In this introductory article on CAR, we will address the rebel group - now in power - and its probable intent. Séléka is mainly composed by the Democratic Front of the Central African People (FDPC), the Convention of Patriots for Justice and Peace (CPJP), the Patriotic Convention for Saving the Country (CPSK) and the Union of Democratic Forces for Unity (UFDR, supported by Sudan). We will focus on the latter because it was the group that started the CAR Bush War , in 2004; which eventually led to t

Maxiavelli: Politicians' Wives & Soul Selling...

Women by Jenö Barcsay Some women are willing to do anything to get to the Top; even if it implies setting aside their humanity, dignity and integrity. Eva Braun , a nice Christian young lady, fell in love with a fascist who slaughtered millions of human beings in death camps and experimented with thousands of others (e.g. breeding between women and dogs). It is said that she ignored what was happening throughout the WWII, while at the same time she was a vital piece in her beloved’s inner circle – so, how could she not know? She knew; however it was convenient for her to pretend not knowing because then she would have to face her own inner-monster. Lucía de Pinochet , a nice radical centrist, was married to a fascist general who kidnapped political opponents, tortured and murdered them in the most vicious way possible (e.g. one of the methods of torture was to introduce rats into women’s vagina). How did this woman sleep at night knowing that women, like herself, were bei

Counter-Terrorism: Outdated International Law and Racial Profiling

Dante and Virgil traversing Cocytus by Gustave Doré "Terrorism (...) aims at the destruction of human rights" (in "Legal and Policy Issues When Countering Terrorism" by Conte & Ganor) Part I - Counter-Terrorism: Limitation of Rights, Torture & Interrogation Techniques Are international laws and conventions outdated when it comes to Counter-Terrorism (CT)? Most international binding norms and declarations were written after the WWII (to prevent a repetition of events; and were/are ratified as a way to make signatory nations commit themselves to applying those norms in national law); however, because terrorism - as we know it today - didn't exist at that time, it is natural that those norms, declarations and laws, do not anticipate certain phenomenons such as Global Jihad and Urban Warfare; thus limiting the action against such occurrences. Unlike international laws, the masterminds of terrorist activities adapt rather quickly to chan
