Tree of Life - A miracle in your hand

 

https://opensea.io/collection/rar-tree-of-life

All miracles are hearsays. Or all the witnesses of miracles are history. There are no witnesses alive today, and all the miracles would no longer be around to speak for themselves.

The Tree of Life is a miracle that you can hold in your hand, to examine, to touch, to feel, to see and to appreciate. You will be the witness to attest to its authenticity. No need to hear from anyone. Put it under the magnifying glass if still in doubt. I did not add a stroke or remove a dot from the painting. 

The process involved for this painting to come to life is so complex and with so many variables that its appearance is not so easy like an accident. It was captured in a moment when light passed through the medium of moving water, ie it would never be the same again even if one is going to repeat the process. I shot in a burst, and only this frame gave me this painting. The rest of the shots within fractions of a second were totally different and barely any reasonable looking human forms.

The pic would simply be ignored and deleted by any photographer as it was bare of any forms or features of any meaning, just water and reflection of light. Even when processing, it took a very tedious effort to bring out the colours and details of the paintings with human forms that were easily recognisable without any need for imaginations. It would be very demanding for a good artist to paint these life like human forms on canvas, but here they are, appearing together so naturally. And it was all conceptualised and created by Mother Nature in a divine way that is beyond human imagination.

When the tree first appeared, I asked what kind of tree was it, a durian tree, a rambutan tree or what? I looked out for fruits but there were none. Then I recalled the phrase, 'judge a tree by the fruits it bears'. On closer scrutiny I saw human forms, many human forms. What else could it be but the Tree of Life?

All of you are living witnesses to this little miracle of life. And a few could be privileged to have a piece of this miracle to hold in your hand, to admire and appreciate for a life time, to share with your friends and loved ones. This is not simply a piece of art or painting to possess. There are more profound meanings in this piece of painting that are waiting to be discovered. This would make a good conversational piece for the faithful and believers.

I am glad to share this Tree of Life painting with so many people from so many countries visiting this blog. All the AngloSaxon and many English speaking countries are here, even non English speakers are here, eg Russia, Japan, South Korea, east and western European countries, some from Africa, also Turkey and Saudi Arabia etc and of course Malaysia and Indonesia.


PS. I am not a believer but have read the Bible and familiar with the concept of the Tree of Life.


Ukraine - The Americans hijacked the agenda and narrative, continue with war is imminent lie

1. Biden warned Russia to withdraw to avoid needless death and destruction.
2. Russia and the US competing to write the narrative of Ukraine crisis.

Read the above two headlines in CNA.  The first one about Biden telling Putin that it would be needless death and destruction is pure American comedy, as if the Americans care. Not bad for a senile old man to still remember such lines. No one, not the Ukrainians or the Russians, not the Europeans, would want an unnecessary war that would lead to their people being killed and country destroyed. Only one country wants this war and is fanning the fire, making all kinds of silly statements to create a sense of fear that war is about to start.  

The Americans even got all its allies to pull out their citizens, plus Americans, from Ukraine to give the impression that war is imminent. And they got the cheek to ask China why it is not pulling out the Chinese as orchestrated by the Americans. The Chinese are not going anywhere and staying put to call the American bluff. 

And the second headline about Russia and USA hijacking the agenda to talk up this war. The Americans are in control of all major English media and all singing what the Americans wanted them to, that war is imminent. Ukraine and the boy President have been shut out. They have no say and whatever they said would not be printed. The Americans are in charge and writing and directing the plot for war.

This is 'How to start a war 101' from Washington.

All the agreements between Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France about a ceasefire, no invasion, have been cancelled. The American message, war is still on, 16 Feb, during the Winter Olympics, with aerial bombings from the Russians, oops, or would it be from the Americans and blaming the Russians?

Zelensky better play by the American playbook, to keep harping about war or else. Some of his generals are already doing so. If Zelensky is not for war, he could be terminated with extreme prejudice to create chaos and panic, and a pro war, pro American general would seize power to start the war. 

Who would be the losers and who would be the main beneficiaries of a war? The Europeans better get together to hold fast their no war position, or they would be the biggest losers, suffering from massive destructions and casualties. The Americans would continue to have their hamburgers and watching baseball or playing basketball. After Europe is destroyed, the Americans would walk in to offer to rebuild Europe and Europe would be fully in debt to the Americans. Debt trap anyone?

What a beautiful script. Pelosi would repeat her favourite statement, what a beautiful sight to behold, when Europe is on fire.

Sinister dark history of AngloSaxons - genocides

To the USA this is small potato when they could even rob the land of the Native Americans. They even used genocide to make sure the Native Americans cannot have the numbers remaining to stage any attempt to take back their land.
In this world the most evil race must be the British, the forerunners of the USA, Canadian and Australian Whites. All three have committed genocides in the respective countries they seized and occupied. But they have slyly written out this part of history, and most people are unaware of their dark sinister history.

The Brits even tried the same vile tactic against the South Asian Indians and Chinese, but failed, because these two countries have their long civilised heritage of thousands of years and cannot be easily dominated, unlike the Native Americans and Aborigines of Australia. These latter Natives, innocent and with weak natural heritage, enabled the Whites to overwhelm them and seize their land.

In fact what happened in South Africa today is also a good example. The Whites overwhelmed the Blacks initially by force, but could not decimate them in sufficient numbers because the whole continent of Africa is populated by Blacks, who are not innocent Natives and their massive numbers enabled them to resist and take back their land.

The situation in South Africa is a reversal of what can happen when people in sufficient numbers fight back. That is the same that the South Asian Indians and Chinese did and were not overwhelmed or else they would have been forced to live in concentration camps or the sanitized version called 'reservations'. The same kind of reservations reserved for animals in a zoo.

It is a pity that the Native Americans and Aborigines have no way to reverse their fate.

Shameful Rich USA Robs Poor Afghanistan

 After U.S. President Joe Biden's decision last Friday to carve out half the assets of Afghanistan's central bank for U.S. victims of terrorism, including the 9/11 attacks, criticism is mounting of the unusual move, made through an executive order. Many experts say it will act as a final death blow to the country's economy.


"The richest country in the world has decided to rob the poorest country in the world in the name of justice for a crime in which no Afghans participated," said Barnett Rubin, a former advisor to the U.S. and Afghan governments.

"There is something wrong with a financial system where one state can unilaterally block the national assets of another to pay off questionable claims by its own citizens," said Munir Akram, Pakistan's ambassador to the U.N., in a statement on Friday.

The U.S. has held approximately $7 billion of frozen assets of Da Afghanistan Bank, or DAB, since the Taliban takeover in August. In an executive order on Friday -- his first related to Afghanistan -- Biden moved to consolidate all the Afghan assets within the U.S. into the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and issued a recommendation that half, or $3.5 billion, be set aside as damages to be paid to victims of terrorism. However, that second half is also potentially subject to litigation, pending at least one court order.

Suhail Shaheen, a Taliban spokesperson, said that DAB deserves to be entrusted with the assets because it is an independent entity. "It doesn't belong to any faction or government," he said. "So, this step taken by President Biden, in our view, is against the law and international practices."

The administration has faced a wave of criticism since the announcement on Friday. Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, called on Biden to reconsider the order, saying it was an "atrocity against Afghan people." Hundreds of civilians holding banners protested in Kabul on Saturday for the release of all assets. DAB protested the executive order as an "injustice," declaring that it would "never accept" any use of the assets other than their full return to Afghanistan.

Many regional experts are expressing disappointment with the decision.

PS.  Where is the justice? Where is the rule of law?  It is the rule of the white gangsters against the poor and hapless tribesmen, like what they did to the indigenous people of America.  Shame, shame, shame, Americans, shame on you.

We lie, we cheat and we steal.

Biden Administration - More coordinated effort to protect American dominance and control of the world

WASHINGTON: The head of the powerful US House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee on Friday (Dec 11) slammed what he called President Donald Trump's "unsophisticated response" to China's ambitions and called for a major recalibration of US policies.

Chairman Richard Neal, a Democrat, urged the future administration of fellow-Democrat Joe Biden to formulate a package of programs and investment to counterbalance China, including through re-energized cooperation with European allies.

Instead of pausing trade talks to focus first on domestic issues, as Biden has said he plans to do, Neal urged the new administration to embrace European overtures to hammer out a new broad trade deal with Europe....

"A new US-European trade arrangement will only enhance our ability to moderate China’s intensifying pursuit of growth and prosperity, which threatens to subject the rest of the world to its economic and political dominance," he said.  Reuters

For more than 500 years since the day the Europeans invaded and raided the rest of the world, colonised and turned countries and people into the slaves, which they called in kinder term, subjects of their empires, that was the world order. A white men's world order, a balance of power in favour of the white men at the expense of the coloured people of the world. 

In the last 100 years, this role was continued by the Americans as the dominant and preeminent number one Empire of the day. What it means is that they are the rich and powerful, they controlled everything in the world, who can be rich and who cannot be rich, who can be part of their world system, who cannot. They decide the fate of every country and its people. Victims of the Americans would be ostracised and isolated from their world system and remained poor, and looked incompetent and unable to manage their countries, their economies and their well being, when the cause is actually the American Empire. Cuba, North Korea, Myanmar and many Latin American and African countries fall into this category.

The Americans could do anything they want, above the law, respecting the law or disregarding the law. The Americans are above the law, lawless, they are not bound by any international law. Any law that is against the evil ways of the Americans would be ignored or torn apart, disrespected and disregarded. They attacked countries at will, invaded countries, conducted regime change, wars, sanctions and bully and oppressed any country they so desired, in the name of the American Empire, in the name of American Exceptionalism, ie above the law and fake democratic values and fake human rights.

Today, China has risen and wanted to grow and prosper and allow its people to live better. This is not acceptable to the Americans. This is called ambitious and a threat to the American way of life and the American Empire and dominance. China is not conducting a war of invasion against the Americans, but wanted its people to live well, to live with respect and dignity. This cannot be allowed. This is aggression, ambitious and must be put down, even by wars if threats and containment do not work.

China's rise and the prosperity of the Chinese people is called a threat to the American way of life and their security, without having to go to war with the Americans. China and its people, must be like the rest of the world, be poorer than the Americans and controlled and dictated and bullied by the Americans as the general order of things. Only the Americans can call the shot, be the top dog of the world. No one else can. Not even the Europeans. This is the American world order and cannot be challenged or changed.

The Biden Administration would be worse than the mad Trump Administration. They want the Europeans to gang up with them to control and cripple China and to rule the world again. China would have to face a bigger threat. China's only hope is for the support of the rest of the world, to help the rest of the world to rise and prosper quickly, to be free from the control and clutches of the Americans and the Europeans, by providing cheaper services and goods to the rest of the world. The world could and would be divided by the Americans and the Europeans on one side against the rest of the world on the other side. When this takes place, they can trade among themselves as the rest of the world would not be able to pay for their goods and services. And China would provide the alternative, the other options of equally good and affordable goods and services. 

This would be the next contest for influence and control for the rest of the world and a new world order. With China's rise, the rest of the world can also rise without being labelled as a threat or enemy of the West and the American Empire, to be isolated, attacked and oppressed, and sanctioned into isolation and poverty, a world order of white men supremacy. There will be a new world order where every country is free to find its own path to growth and prosperity without being attacked and contained by the evil American Empire.

The biggest economy will be China. The biggest consumer market will be in China. The biggest consumers will be the Chinese middle class. China will be the base for future new technologies. Go figure who will win this contest. And the new rich will be from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Will there still be a place for the rogue and gangster behaviour of the West and America? With the developments in Ukraine, with the Americans wanted to do the Europeans in, dumped them and buried, the Europeans have been woken by a rude shock.  It is all about American first, American prosperity, the Europeans can be sacrificed as gun fodder, to fight the Russians and die for the prosperity and dominance of the American Empire. What are the Europeans thinking, what are they going to do, to be free countries, not colonies of the American Empire, to be kicked around. When would Nord Stream 2 be scuttled by the Americans?

And Trump is coming back if senile Biden could not finish the job.
