Update October 10, 2024: southern gulf area is one where it is clear it has been, or in, the path of intense hurricane and tornado activity.
The radius of predicted areas that could be affected must be looked at with safer side broader considerations, adjusted to cover a wider range of possibilities, not just a matchup of the storms path in satellite and radar. A seniors community was destroyed in the storm system upon Florida now, in Milton, perhaps for that very reason, of underestimating the scope of Milton. A combination of stay safe, rescue, and rebuild are on the priority after the sequence of Milton and it's prior Helene, which claimed at least 205 lives know to news. Milton has claimed lives too.

September 29, '24: major natural disasters being contended with or to be contended with at this time:
-Hurricane Helene made its way from the Central America region on up to Florida. It is/was a fierce spiral that does not appear, it will soften before arrival. Evacuation orders in place. Those evacuation orders best taken very seriously. As of 9/29, 2024, about 100 persons have been reported as dead. Path of the storm generally went from south to north. Exact path and points of destruction, either in the path, or in the outward ripple effects and other phenomena that occur outward from the path, might be less predictable, loosely determined where it will occur, whereas safest precaution is all areas east and west of the general path, and of course north, should brace for the possibilites. The western part of North Carolina, a case in point, had areas devastated. Parts of western Virginia as well. Perhaps the alert more accurate is actually more of a widespread blanket.

-Flooding in the southern region of Poland

-Nepal, especially Kathmandu valley area; rains, flooding; reports of about 150 deaths

-Mexico, especially Guerrero area; impacts from storm John

-Bangladesh flooding, especially the aftermath and survival concerns

Airplane Misses Runway Mark in India Injuring Over 100

August 7, 2020
Globally at this moment, emotions may have taken a natural downturn. Within recent hours, an Air India Express either skidded off some portions of land on, in, or around the runway, missed the ideal mark for landing, or something along those lines, reportedly injuring over a hundred and over a dozen fatal. Karipur, Kerala, August 7, 2020. Exact details are slowly emerging, as weather conditions, which could affect visibility, could have been a factor. It appears the event was after a coast to coast flight from the Arabia region over the water to the west coast of India.

This compounding with the situation in Lebanon earlier this week involving a huge reaction and explosion of sorts that claimed perhaps over 100 lives and injuring thousands. Many questions are having the answers pensively sought.

Words Concerning the Tragedy in Lebanon Tuesday August 4th 2020

August 7, 2020
Please note, the title did not say 'explosion', why? - because if the event was what some say it was, there could be aspects that lean to a 'reaction', not just an explosion. For example, a huge white low-lying mushroom cloud was momentarily seen somewhere in the timeline of events in the reaction.

This refers to the event August the 4th in Lebanon in and around the port area of Beirut.

What is known as of today is the numbers of casualties reported has grown significantly since what was learned through media in the first few hours after the event.

In the 20th century, Lebanon has seen times that are challenges to the eyes before, they have seen tensions that refer to economic discomforts within the past several years.

Accountability, is one of the biggest words amidst this tragedy. Accountability of lives, accountability of who is to blame, and other principles. Ultimately, everything large or small, direct or remote, is held to account. This be, in law, whether international, or Islam sharia law, science law, or other law structures, wrongdoing can be discerned from natural developments, regardless if one person was wholly responsible or there were many parties that contributed, or there was a clearly cut identifiable root of cause or fusion of many.

Eid Shine Despite Challenges

July 31, 2020
Eid, the word not just having the meaning of celebration, but also having to do with life, has outlived, both back in time, and for the future, the current virus pandemic, at a basic discussion level. A time for remembrance, reflection, pulling together; remembrance and reflection could refer to the high sacrifice that was made earmarking the event, in the willingness to sacrifice; in Eid, hopefully, that beacon helps shrink through proportionality contentions of the current coronavirus, and put us on the road to victory.

There is potential that a storm system gaining in magnitude perhaps to hurricane, which heading in the direction of the southeastern part of the US, could affect on a practical level, activities and planning from now through the next few days. 

Preparations and bracing for a region, especially Florida, already overwhelmed by coronavirus/COVID-19, markedly hospitals at about 150% capacity, in simple terms is maximum capacity, then the number of what half of maximum capacity is, added on to the number, severely burdening the hospital system, is a bell tolling. Anything that remotely looks like the disaster wrought through Hurricane Harvey near this time of year in 2017, hitting Florida while the hospital encumbrance is beyond a challenge to repair. Madagascar, miles away, considered a remote island, and possibly safe haven from advents like COVID-19, has now reported over 10,000 cases, and a sports arena is being used as a field hospital.

Eid Al-Adha daytime practices observed Friday, July 31st, 2020.

Information Unemphasized in Underscored US China Tensions

July 16, 2020
When most folks that follow economic news today think of the top dozen nations of the world, they probably have the United States and China in there. G5 and G8, if the letter begins with G and there are more than 10 but less than 20, and who is in the global news the most, those two nations are definitely in there.

Here we are today, the middle of July 2020, and numerous news reports are circulating about possible rifts and tensions on multiple subject matters between them.

And here, those that have been following different news categories over the past couple of decades, consistently, likely say to themselves, same story, different day, these are fruits from the same blueprint, the baseline platform for tensions that have been around for at least that long.

That there is one aspect in itself, in the list of reasons why. Reiterative, possibly redundant concerns are being plastered all over the news media, as though they are newly arisen cataclysmic situations, when in historical and policy analysis view, much of it are partially dried repeats being rechurned. 

No disrespect, these are huge and powerful nations, with long celebrated traditions, deservingly so. What is being discussed here, is that numerous media are only looking superficial or only 2 or 3 layers deep into the situation, and drumming up news stories that might look exciting if the readers do not have the historical hindsight.

Here is a summary of historical and political points that can put a more realistic perspective on the news hype between the US and China relations in the news as we speak:
  • Tensions over the South China Sea go back perhaps thousands of years
  • The dynamics in terms of world leaders involved with the nations involved with the South China Sea tensions, have predecessor roots that go back, like the statement above, about as long, maybe longer, maybe an amount shorter, for the purposes here, the idea is it has been thousands, not hundreds, but a length of time that long predates the modern known US with current government
  • For illustration, in the window roughly 200 to 300 B.C., regions of East China that abutted or came close to the what is now known as the South China Sea, are not even the same as modern day China on simplified rulership maps. Qin, Chin, and other dynasties, Warring States Period, alluding to some.
  • What sovereignty means to the nations in the immediate area of South China Sea involved with the dispute, wax and wane from it, and so on, might be different and dealt with at different angles, than what the US is, and so might not be on the same page with exact parallels on every iota of the dispute and tension
  • Sovereignty, might not even be what the heart of the matter is, in the region of the 'dispute', but instead another concept known to the parties involved, that might not have an exact word to describe it all in the English language
  • In the little details, is US press regularly bringing up the backdrop that goes back to only 2013, such as Philippine filing for arbitration, or oil findings in the region in the 1960s?
  • As well, is a long standing axiom to maintain a degree of caution when the potentiality is there to get dragged into a dispute between nation, especially as far eastern, from the Atlantic shoreline, or west of the Pacific continental US shoreline, as the referent Asian seas and islands; the larger envelope in the psychologically developed weaving there, might be much larger and have lurking dangers, which may not necessarily be built into simplified calculations much of the media makes it seem
  • The words large, are a major theme, in describing the US and China, when analyzing the altogether climate of tensions, if it is really tensions at all, that include common sense reasons. One, the population of China is almost 1 and half billion people. The geographic land mass is huge. With that many people, who make different decisions and change their mind in a split second about all the different politically related matters going on, just in China, it can be very difficult to put a one-time gloss-over wrap of summarizing what the minds' of China are thinking for more than a few minutes, nevermind a block of time like an entire week. The world stage when it comes to tension, especially involving global finance and trade, are not plastic toy soldiers or a game of battleship, it is in constant flux.
  • With that massive number of people in China, and also consider the number of persons that are born, become ill, retire, and pass on each day, sensitive information and misinformation, has to be handled very carefully; concurrently, there could be mischievous individuals that seek to cause harm, and in the process misrepresent their nation, while they pursue their plight for greedy aims. That described group might not have anything to do with what can be said as China, or possibly even government of China, or that that a government monitored branch or entity, individuals and groups acting out of line and inconsistent to policy, lack of up-to-date reporting, turning a blind eye, pay-offs, blackmail, and everything else, that just about every other nation of the world has to deal with in terms of internal challenges, could very well have gone on.
  • Mid July 2020, most media plays it, the US feels China was involved with a coronavirus cover-up; now considering the little bit that was just written here, it can readily be seen that, that statement is could be a bit of a satire, in that it is way too broad and over generalized. It is almost like saying all thieves are short and wear black gloves, and grab for a stack of bills after breaking through a window. China as old a nation it is, has seen huge challenges that they have had to contend with. Take for example, wildfires that ravaged the land during segments of the reign of AN Lu Shan about a thousand fifty years ago. Viruses, remembering the massive number of persons there, is nothing new. So just what is, coronavirus is here in that larger context, and in the context of making sure that sensitive information is not abused by evil doers that want to see things get worse?
  • The likelihood that there are other people in other nations playing games with the coronavirus advent, using it to their advantage to rake in funds, is pretty high. Is there a nation on earth right now that is untouched by the coronavirus? To point one finger, at the government of one nation, and a few individuals within that, as the sole cause of a pandemic existent in roughly 260 nations, plus tribal groups all over the world that might not have had a visitor in decades, might raise some eyebrows. 
  • Iceland, as an example, has to contend with coronavirus, and had to take measures that are pretty much a duplicate of the US, in shutting down public facilities.
  • 'Man-made', in a lab, theories, circulating to get to the bottom of how it all emerged, further reading and viewing could include: 
    • News analysis: why the "new crown virus artificial theory" is untenable; Zhang Ying, Zhang Jiawei, Guo Yang, Chen Chen, Liu Qu, Luan Hai; 20:03, April 22, 2020 Source: Xinhuanet.  "First, the existing scientific evidence has shown that the characteristics of the new coronavirus are impossible to achieve by human operation, and can only be the product of natural evolution. An international team with the participation of the Scripps Research Institute in the United States reported on March 17 in the British Journal of Nature and Medicine that they analyzed and compared the genome data of multiple coronaviruses, including the new coronavirus, and concluded that The high binding efficiency of the receptor-binding domain of synaptophysin to the "Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2)" receptor of human cells cannot be achieved by human genetic engineering. In addition, the unique molecular architecture of the new coronavirus also excludes the possibility of its synthesis in the laboratory, because people cannot find a similar known viral molecular architecture to construct this new virus.", and much more in the article, translated into English from http://world.people.com.cn/n1/2020/0422/c1002-31684156.html
    • Rarely in the world, is a global situation completed isolated from other aspects of the ecosystem or system of life
    • More 2-systems related laws and strife with respect to Hong Kong. There were regular protests that have strings to the same just a few seasons back. It looks like the world might have to brace itself and prepare for another round of intense protest and protest quelling suspense all over again. It makes it seem that there is a ball that tolls, and when it does, the en segue protesting makes the appearance. With it the thick osf summer, humidity high, and coronavirus going around, a cauldron of protesting is not something anyone in their right mind would want to deal with, nor see.
    • Huawei not too far back, estimate for conversation, on the global playing field, was an up-and-comer in the technology arena only about 10 years ago. The UK has blocked a 5G product. Honestly, to technology experts, it sounds like a big to-do about almost nothing. Two things can happen very quickly. 5G and vagaries of products, conceptual or tenuous partaking of, could be a few of abundant ideas as realities, can get out there, and be literally hacked apart by millions of entrepreneurs from amateur to criminal, trying to make a buck. Who cares whether it is 5G or not. Another is 5G gets blocked, and the products or network are masked by some other name, or a similar product comes out in a few weeks called or dubbed a 6G or a 7G, so on and so forth, with different marketing strategy. Maybe blocking Huawei products might make a stand on a symbolic level, but at this point, as millions and millions of tiny parts in an overwhelming many technology gadgets we see here in America, even ones with the made in the USA label, somewhere down the line might be or are made in China, there might not be but a few light bulbs left on in the entire country, if every made in China product got the complete stop buying or stop using actually materialized, on it.
    • During previous protesting having to do with Hong Kong and law issues, it was the yanking of cell phone connectivity that helped control the rioting. Cell networks might not be a freebird out of Pandora's box, and, might not be impossible to replicate by someone else and be made to be readily made use of.
    • The focus, only companies, employees, and individuals that back communism and certain activities, such as oppression of certain ethnic groups; it is very hard to cull one out of many, referencing indirect as well direct, unpurposely and purposely, just about everyone interacts at some point. Outright support, of wrong doing, absolutely yes, is a serious issue.
    • There is some confusion, about communism in China, as the meanings of different government concepts in Chinese language and communication, is inconsistent, and some may contradict each other, but the choice of words to describe, the version of oppressive harmful communism as known in US text books, might also be contradictory, a word with bad connotation might be the one with the good cause and vice versa. An ideal, non-communist status, in one single swoop for a nation as large and populous as China, is a tough nugget to crack, and if and when it can be done, probably is not an overnight process.

    Is talk of 'cold war' even necessary, let alone images starting to grow in the minds of many people, of violence involving high powered weapons?

    Restoring Order a Priority in Certain US Cities

    July 6, 2020
    Atlanta:
    • Number of fatalities
    • What were supposed to be self-style vigilantes now beyond unruly
    • Mayor comes down with COVID-19
    Response underway


    Chicago:
    • A 4th of July day, spoiled. The 4th itself, essentially never spoiled. It is asked how could almost 90 shootings occur in one weekend, on any weekend, moreover, on the 4th weekend?
    This requires more than just a measured response, law enforcement and community leaders 'doing everything they can', a long term strategy for sustainment of peace is needed


    New York City:
    The extent of violence this past 4th weekend, is not acceptable just because of new norms and new shallow standards. No, there were not 100 people, shot, there were roughly half that many. That does not mean it is not enough to the situation that it should not be turned around completely the other direction. NYC has it under control?, 'it is a big city, many people, crime is rife generally through here';-- stop, what happened was far out of the box of what can be assessed as natural world patterns.

    Give an estimate, 30 firearms were fired, each one or two shots, to total 50. Each weekend another phenomenon of high crime numbers. Major firearm accountability, legal or illegal firearms, registered, unregistered, amateur made, or renown brands purchased at a gun store, a major, prodigious effort has to be made to get a grapple hold on all these firearms being fired over petty matter.
    Is there one report that says a firearm was discharged over a patriotic matter or in the service to country?


    New Orleans:
    Historic New Orleans is all that has to be said. Are multiple homicides on any given day, reference today, the picture of historic New Orleans?


    Houston:
    Road rage incident last night Sunday, firearm involved; unbelievable, but believable in the context of considering the types of crimes that have been going on in the area the past couple of years


    Seattle:
    The largest city in the most northwestern place of the continental US, a place to enjoy life, now taking on a new description, of unenjoyable and unpleasant. 
    Rioting ongoing, and violence within that construct ongoing. Different people making different points, trying to get their voice heard, in the end, one fellow man harms another, and after the moment is over, rioting and discontent continues, virtually nothing changed, nothing got better. It is as though the only thing that got accomplished was harm to one another.
    It was very strongly recommended, and being recommended again, stop the rioting and protesting. 


    Minneapolis:
    A pregnant woman shot ? ? [Incident while she was sitting in her car last Sunday night.] This is weeks after the reportedly neck pressure incident in that city that is cited as sparking and eventually leading to nationwide rioting for racial justice; the question now is, and the same in many other locations where African Americans are ruthlessly murdering other African Americans, many times with a firearm, where is the burn for the discipline to refrain from the violent oppression on each other, of their own kind within? Natural reaction, is assessments get made of the totality of events, and the level of genuineness of some protesters supposedly being active about racial injustice and oppression, and a struggle to protect the livelihood of African Americans, wind up getting called into question.


    Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, AL:
    • Incidents involving firearms
    Similar to the comment just above, applied to a mall, it might be that making some changes to the mall itself could affect the dynamics of some of the types of incidents that occur there


    Some of the crime discussed here may be a manifestation of lust of drugs gone way too far, some of it not even a lack of morality but no connection to morality to start with, some of it may be craziness an outgrowth of the previous two. It was not always here to this extent, and so, it may be able to go away, it is something that can be made to go away, therefore it should be made to leave.

    And before it be forgotten, never forgotten by the parents of the victims, how any children under 15 years old were lost to gun violence this past weekend, this past week, past month, and since the start of 2020, 2020 clear vision?

    Burma/Myanmar Crisis Corner

    Update January 21, 2024
    Key words/terms in the crisis today:
    KIA
    Kachin Independence Army
    Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army
    junta
    CDF-Mara chapter
    National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG)
    Chinland Council
    Arakan Army
    Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army
    United League of Arakan (ULA)
    Palaung State Liberation Front (PSLF)
    Tatmadaw
    Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA)
    Three Brotherhood Alliance
    Frequent jailing of journalists
    MaBaTha
    anti-Muslim 969


    Update August 1, 2022
    According to https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/myanmar-junta-extends-state-of-emergency.html, Hliang set before the body a proposal of allowing him to serve 6 more months, whereat word has arrived in the press that a 'State of Emergency' has been extended 6 more months. HCN comment, it may be clear that a 'State of Emergency' in their meaning might not be exactly the same as it is in the US. Perhaps English descriptive term State of Emergency in the context of the Burma/Myanmar crisis is a translation of something.

    Update April 21, 2022
    Reports of riot at detention center in what appears to be Kedah State, Malaysia with past several days; 6 fatalities in aftermath; those fleeing Myanmar, over 300 're-arrests'. Ramifications of power overturn is how wide?

    Update August 4, 2021: US State Dept slated to talk with NUG
    Update June 19, 2021: Looks like Rohingya taking the brunt, no matter which way the developments go- story here https://www.hcrestnews.com/intercontinental-news/denialed-undeniable-rohingya-have-been-facing-brunt-of-oppression-no-matter-what-the-turn-of-events. Village burned to the ground, Kin Ma, June 17th, 2021, elderly dead in the process- elderly victims, plus corpses coming back without organs, equals what, not a tone that says perpetrators deep, perhaps just simply evil. May 26, 2021: An American journalist is detained; officials have died in custody. Pictures of armed soldiers in camouflage have been released, wearing white face masks (presumably due to COVID-19).. not to be disrespectful in asking, but why undermine the entire camouflage with white mask?, is a question that presents, when assessing the situation
    Update May 10, 2021: Thermal/pyro methodologies of opposition suppression being used extensively. See PDF translated page of BBC article citing those activities at Attacks in Burma-Myanmar (italic click link) [copyright waiver request- time of essence]. Satellite usage is being suppressed in the region as well, so there is a strong chance that not every event is being recorded and broadcast for the world to quickly access and view through media.
    Update Sunday May 9, 2021: NUG poised to set up a people's defense force; 8 protestors reported killed when fired on by security forces on Sunday May 2, 2021 thereabout, in Kyaukme, Shan State. Those events post April ASEAN meeting [..arriving classic off the airplane on red carpet, clasped hands, modern day dress suit considered Western; 3 finger wave, about as ancient... Debate on who is welcoming who.]
    Static pro tem statement: There is an emergency situation in Myanmar... content deleted 4/15..Details still becoming clear.. still no signs that the current situation is not at genocide level (Original headline Saturday April 10, 2021)
