THE VANISHING MUD-HOMES OF SAUDI ARABIA
Today I took some pictures of the vanishing mud brick homes of
Saudi Arabia. When I first arrived in this town; I could virtually count the
number of houses made of cement blocks with my fingers. More than 30 years
later; I could count the numbers of houses made of mud bricks that still stands
with my fingers. 90% of houses then were mud bricks. I lived in one because
there was no other choice with baby scorpions crawling under my bed. With Saudi
Arabia’s increasing affluence; 95% of today’s homes are palatial mansions.

QUOTES OF COMPASSION…best ever!
It is a man's sympathy
with all creatures that truly makes him a man. Until he extends his circle of
compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace." - Albert
Schweitzer
"I can do no other
than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than
to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the
foundation of all ethics." - Albert Schweitzer
"By
compassion we mean the deep feeling that comes when we recognize our soul's
reflection in another person, when that other person's pain or joy becomes our
own. Cindy Spring , Charles Garfield "Wisdom Circles
"
"Compassion is an
emotion of which we ought never to be ashamed. Graceful, particularly in youth,
is the tear of sympathy, and the heart that melts at the tale of woe. We should
not permit ease and indulgence to contract our affections, and wrap us up in a
selfish enjoyment; but we should accustom ourselves to think of the distresses
of human, life, of the solitary cottage; the dying parent, and the weeping
orphan. Nor ought we ever to sport with pain and distress in any of our
amusements, or treat even the meanest insect with wanton cruelty."Hugh

IRAN: USA’s Military Action Will Spark Disaster
Iran:
U.S. military action in Syria would spark 'disaster'
By Ben Brumfield and Joe Sterling, CNN
August 28, 2013 --
Updated 1634 GMT (0034 HKT)
"Starting this fire
will be like a spark in a large store of gunpowder, with unclear and
unspecified outcomes and consequences," Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei told Iranian Cabinet members in Tehran on Wednesday.
"The West handles the
Islamic world the way a monkey handles a grenade," Russian Deputy Prime
Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Twitter.
"The U.S. threats and
possible intervention in Syria is a disaster for the region and if such an act
is done, certainly, the Americans will sustain damage like when they interfered
in Iraq and Afghanistan."
President Hassan Rouhani, also
speaking to the Cabinet, said people in the Middle East and the world won't accept "a new
war" and deplored threats to use force.
"Any adventurism in the
region will pose irreparable dangers to the stability of the region and the
world and will merely lead to the spread of extremism and terrorism in the
region," Rouhani said.
He called on the U.N.
inspectors to carry out unbiased investigations to identify the culprits behind
the chemical weapons use in Syria, and said, "Each and every measure
should be taken with respect to the sensitive situation of the region, rapid
ending of the internal crisis, and prevention of extremism in the region and in
the framework of the international rules and regulations."
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad
Zarif likened a possible attack to a return to "the Middle Ages."
Zarif condemned any possible
military intervention in Syria on Wednesday, warning of "graver
conditions" should strikes be carried out.

WORLD AT THE BRINK…again! (Israel war dogs to bomb Syria)
Whenever and if ever you are marked by USA; it will not stop
until it gets you. This alleged chemical weapon use had been USA’s so called
red line for Syria something Assad knew and would not be stupid enough to cross
but hey…what if Israel did fire the shot or USA’s terrorist allies stole it
from Assad’s weapons depot; you know those weapons sites that were bombed by
Israel inside Syria? I want Assad to go but not in the most evil of ways. It is
Palestine, it is Iraq and it is Libya all over again. Syrians who can run
should start running now because Iran will not allow Assad to fall. Iran would
rather turn Damascus into a battle ground rather than wait for Israel war dogs to
come marching into Tehran.

Israel Turning Mosque into a Synagogue…
Israel to turn
historic mosque into synagogue
The Israeli army has taken full control of a historic mosque in
al-Quds (Jerusalem) to turn it into a synagogue, in what has been considered
the latest measures by Tel Aviv to
Judaize the Muslim city.
Muslims are banned from entering the mosque, which is located in the village of An-Nabi Samuel in the northwest of al-Quds.
The mosque was built in the 18th century and is an important holy site for Palestinians.
The Israel regime occupied half of the mosque and transformed it into a synagogue in 1994 when the Palestinian Authority lost control of the region.

TO KILL OR NOT TO KILL THE PIG...
It cannot be denied that the “Pork Barrel” does a lot of
good to many poor Filipinos and of course a lot of profit to corrupt officials and
to some enterprising evil minded private individuals who invented bogus NGOs
and bogus foundations. You need not be a rocket scientist to see how this kind
of racket works; a bogus NGO/Foundation funnels back to the congressman/senator
the pork with obviously prearranged agreement on how to share the juicy fat…yuck!
If you can remove the profit that goes to the corrupt and
the evil geniuses that invents the NGOs and Foundations and retain the “lot of
good that goes to the poor;” the pork barrel fund will have served its purpose.
It is exactly what the government plans to do. A member of the house recommends
to the government his/her pet projects that will benefits his/her constituents
and the government agencies involve approve/disapprove and implement/deny
without any single cent passing through the office of the house member. Abad in
the following piece of news defends why the President’s Pork should not be
abolished. I recommend everyone to read it because I don’t think many of us
really understands where the president’s pork goes.
Abad defends retention of President’s pork | Inquirer News: 
Abad defends retention of President’s pork
The budget chief backed the lump sum nature of the presidential pork, saying it is needed to allow the Palace to respond promptly to “emergency situations.”
Included in the presidential pork funds are:
· Calamity fund for typhoon victims
· Contingency fund for overseas Filipino workers affected by unrest abroad
· Pension funds
· Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) of LGUs
· Debt servicing
“It is not practical for the executive branch to go to Congress during an emergency situation to get the appropriate budget that’s why special funds are created in the budget,” he said.
Abad appealed to those “claiming to be experts on the budget” to stop putting the President in bad light by muddling the issue on the abolition of the pork barrel system.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT: don’t abolish the “PORK”
I have always suspected from the very beginning why the freedom of information (FOI) act is not being passed: it is like a criminal passing laws that will look into its criminal activities. With the burning issue of the “Pork Barrel” scum; I have at least proven to myself that my suspicion was right.
Don’t abolish the “Pork Barrel” but pass the Freedom of Information Act. The media will have a field day in the future. They will be the vanguard of the people to make sure that every cent of tax payer’s money especially the IRA goes rightly to where it is supposed to be spent but there is a catch: do we have a media of unquestionable integrity. Do we have enough people in the media to police both the national and local government units? Some of the people in the media will fall to bribery, some to bullets but there are dedicated people out there who are willing to take the risk. I say again; don’t abolish the Pork but pass the Freedom of Information Act. I think with the threat of abolishing the “Pork”; both houses will now pass the bill…it’s a win-win solution.

TWO senators on Wednesday said they will no longer use their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) even as their colleague filed a bill that will do away with the PDAF for good.
Senators Vicente Sotto 3rd and Loren Legarda said they will not wait for Congress or the President to abolish the PDAF because they have decided not to touch their share of thepork barrel.
“Whether they abolish it or not, I will no longer avail of my PDAF starting next year and thereafter,” Sotto said.
Legarda too said she will forego her PDAF until her term ends in 2019.

Nishreen's Golden Kata
When she told me barely a month ago that she wanted to
continue her karate lessons that she has started in summer; I thought it was only
a childish passing fancy. Several weeks later, she came home with her first
Gold medal; oops…one of many since she has been collecting medals from the
tender age of five when she first entered school.

I was curious…what a “Mini PC” is
I was scanning an online store page of souq.com that I
received in my e-mail when I came upon an unusual product (to me at least)
called a “Mini PC.” I said, “What?” Technology had reduced the size of my PCs
(desktop/laptop/tablet) to a size smaller than my palm? I was so curious that
in few clicks; I have ordered 2 products since I have already registered to the
company days earlier. I got an e-mail the following day that the products are
on the way. I realize later that I should have checked YouTube for a demo which
I just did. It’s actually an Android TV stick that converts your TV into a
smart TV. Imagine your android 3’ phone or your 7’ android tablet suddenly
growing up to a 32 inches monster (if your TV is 32 inches or bigger) and the
price is generously cheap; 199 Saudi Riyals (54 US$). Few weeks ago; Google
announced a product they will sell for 30 dollars the size of an USB memory
stick called “Chromecast” that will likewise convert your TV into a monitor for
your smart phone, tablet and laptop with your gadgets acting like a remote. For
Android Mini PC; you need to buy a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard;
gadgets that most people already have. It is predicted that future laptops will
sell cheaply without Microsoft’s expensive Window OS but it will run on Google’s
free Android OS.
REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: The Upper and Lower House of PIGS
Senator
Lacson in 2003 not 2013: “We now must move to abolish the pork barrel
system. We must see its end during our watch without need to mourn its loss. It
is a virus of corruption that must die.”
“There is nothing in the pork barrel system that gives us pride. There is only everything that makes us hide in shame.”

Bible Isaiah 42: Muhammad's biography in a Nutshell (3)
Isaiah
42: In his law, the Islands will put their hope…Let the desert and its towns
raise their voices; Let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Selah sing
for joy. Let them shout from the mountaintops; let them give glory to the Lord
and proclaim his praise in the Islands. The Lord will march out like a mighty
man, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal, with a shout, he will raise the
battle cry and will triumph over his enemies.”
Isaiah 42: the Prophet's Biography in a Nutshell (2)
Isaiah
42:1 “Here is my servant
whom I uphold, my chosen one whom I delight; I will put my spirit on him and he
will bring justice to the nation.
He
will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the street. A bruised reed he
will not break and smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In
faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on Earth.
Isaiah 42: The Prophet's Biography in the Bible
In
the same vein as when I discovered the Beast 666 (U.N. Resolution 666/1990) and
the New Jerusalem (Mecca/1994); it likewise gave me Goosebumps when I read
Isaiah 42. It is a very concise prophecy of the Life-biography of the Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w.). It matters not if you are a Muslim or a Christian watching
this…Be the Judge!

President Putin Face the Press...
I have always been an admirer of Vladimir Putin since he
came into the limelight when years ago; the ailing Boris Yeltsin anointed him
his successor. He was then the chief of
the KGB. While 007 is the west’s favorite super-agent in the make-believe
world; Putin (KGB) is my favorite James Bond in the real world not only because
he is a look-alike of Daniel Craig (current James Bond) but because of the role
he is playing in the real world to rein in the Beast of Empire (USA). Watch
this 25 minutes “Putin face the press” at the RT headquarters and you will be
convinced that my admiration for the man is not misplaced.

THIS WAS NOT A DISASTER MOVIE...
I like to keep this in my blog because it is exactly how I saw
it live on TV as it unfolded. It was a Friday in Saudi Arabia and I just sort of
opened the TV as soon as I got out of bed. Immediately; I dialed my wife in
Manila and told her to watch the News ASAP.

3 Drives that Account for the Most Expensive Achievements in Human History
Quote: “Take the
Pyramids, which are “basically expensive tombstones,” Tyson says. The praise of
deity or royalty also got us the great cathedrals of Europe. We’re not investing the same portion of our wealth
and energy in churches nowadays…”
Not Quite Right: This guy is one of
the great minds of our times. If you love or simply show interests in Science
then you recognize his face anyway; I agree that humanity’s great achievements
are spurred by one reason or another and one of those reasons is belief in a
deity, gods and God that led to the building of massive monuments and the art
that withstood the ravages of time. In the above quote; “We’re not investing
the same portion of our wealth and energy in churches nowadays…” he is obviously
ignorant of Islam. The Saudi government has been continuously spending billions
for Mecca and Medina and in the latest projects; the government will spend 80
billion Saudi Riyals (22 billion dollars) for the expansion of Haram Mosque and
62 billion Saudi Riyals (17 billion dollars) for the city’s transport system. That
is a whooping 39 billion dollars :-) for a place of worship of God. It is more
than half the entire budget of my country for a year.

Obama reassessing relations with Putin’s Russia…
This is what USA gets when it closely associates with the wrong kind of people. It eventually gets infected by the viral demon that consumes a race. Not only is USA infected by Israel’s obsession with security paranoia; it adopted Israel’s means of defensive methods like rendition, killing people for the crime of thought meaning you can be killed by merely thinking of opposing the gods in the White House and with the advent of killer machines; it got the tools to kill anyone anywhere on the planet. You can run but you cannot hide. Either torture them or kill them; Israel’s way is the American way. What Israel does to oppress the Palestinians; USA does to the American people and the rest of the world.
Israel has absolutely corrupted USA’s leaders by implanting in their minds that if Israel is the chosen that cannot be wrong; USA is the bigger version of it so USA goes around telling people that we are right and all the rest are wrong. Either you are with us; the chosen or you are with the enemy meaning everyone else that refuses to see it our way.
“Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.”
PressTV - Obama says US pausing to reassess relations with Russia:
Obama says US
pausing to reassess relations with Russia
US President Barack Obama says the United States is pausing to
reassess relations with Russia, amid what he called ‘backward’ thinking by
Russian President Vladimir
Putin and Moscow’s
adoption of a more anti-US attitude.
Obama said there are a number of other issues of
concern such as emerging differences around Syria and around human rights, besides the recent extradition spat over
American intelligence leaker Edward Snowden.
"Frankly, on a whole range of issues where we think we can
make some progress, Russia has not moved," Obama said during a White House press conference. "I've encouraged Mr. Putin to think
forward rather than backwards on those issues with mixed success."

Fox News Hostile Interview of Author Reza Aslan Backfired…
90% of widely read books about Islam and the Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w.) are written by Jews and Christians most of which are not only
hostile but based on academic rubbish and lies read by likewise hostile
audiences that believe the intellectual garbage. It reminds me of an article I
read early in college where an author obviously pretending to be knowledgeable
whose article was published in a popular magazine wrote that Muslims do not eat
pork because they worship the beast. Huh! What garbage; what ignorance!
While Jews and Christians like to write about Islam and the
Prophet of Islam with hostile intent; Muslims rarely if ever do write about
Jesus and Christianity. Here comes one with unquestionable academic background
writing with respect about Jesus that will make many Christian writers of late
feel shamed causing a firestorm for one and only one reason; he is a Muslim.
“Why you a Muslim is
writing about Jesus” was Fox’s News host first hostile question. Reza Aslan is writing about Jesus as an academician in the same light as he writes about Islam,
Hinduism, Judaism and other religions and not in the light of his religious
background but thanks to Fox and the uproar…his book is becoming a best seller
phenomenon; Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth.
The Fox News hostile interview of Reza Aslan backfired on
Fox that catapulted Azlan’s book from number 8 on a Friday to number 1 spot on Sunday
at amazon.com; just a day in between :-)
WIKIPEDIA
Reza Aslan (Persian: رضا اصلان; born May 3,
1972) is an Iranian-American writer and scholar of religions. He is an Associate Professor
of Creative Writing at the University of California, Riverside, a Research Associate at the University of Southern California
Center on Public Diplomacy, and a contributing editor for The Daily Beast. His books include the international bestseller No god but God:
The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, which has been translated into 13 languages, and Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus
of Nazareth,
which offers an interpretation of the life and mission of the historical
Jesus.
Aslan's family came to the United
States from Tehran in 1979, fleeing the Iranian Revolution. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the age of 15
he converted to evangelical Christianity.[5] He converted back to Islam the summer before attending Harvard.[6] In the early 1990s, Aslan taught courses at De La Salle High
School in Concord, California.

VANISHING CHRISTIANITY IN ENGLAND: ISLAM is filling up the void…
When YouTube removed the program to download that also gave
you the choice to choose your format; it was disappointing but even then before
that…I can’t edit the downloaded YouTube video. It doesn’t appear whenever I drag
it to my movie-maker anyway; I found this program that does not only download
any video in the net; it allows you to edit it. This is an 8 minutes YouTube

23 YEARS OLD VIDEO: the fun of preserving mementos…
If you have betamax or VHS tapes; it must have been spoiled
by now I mean whenever a new technology comes along…the old one dies and
forgotten as in dead and buried. Living in the tropics easily spoils tapes with
molds. In this part of Saudi Arabia
where I live and work; the weather although it is cool most of the year is very
dry. The video-tapes I took of my family are preserved for many years and when
I took it back to the Philippines; I wrapped it in plastic always careful not
to open it during rainy season when the humidity is dump.
The advent of digital technology that allows us to take
pictures and videos for as frequent as we inhale air; we tend to ignore
preserving it. Mark my word; 20 years from now…you will not have any of the
videos you take today that you wish you have preserved. Make it a habit to keep
your files in an external disc because no one keeps a laptop/desktop and cell
phone for 20 years and beyond. No personal gadget lasts that long.
