Major newspapers have done a marvelous job of helping keep everyone's nerves soothed.
There's a time for that, directives may be in place from superiors, no one wants to be fired by being negative, however, somewhere in the bubble between being nice and being real, knowing reality can help invigorate the many different hands that pitch in and help move the mountain where it needs to be.
Today this far has been a little bit different than the 'business as usual', both literally and figuratively...

There's a story going around right through here, especially in US online news sites, that China's Ministry of State Security announced through a social media platform that the US renown agency in NSA had cyber spied, and hence in a view 'cyber attacked', since there was a perceived target of the supposed spying, on China's National Time Service Center. A bunch of news story response, response to the response, news about the news, seems to be getting started too.

How fast did I actually see a b...

Picture at the link here:

There's a saying a picture is worth a thousand words.
I am only referring to two aspects.
One of course is the bloodshed.
The second may take more of an adult layer of eyes and assessment, however still very plain to all of any any age what the principle is. It's called inordinate oppression, or abuse, or as the Arabic language says, qahr.
Women in this photo are undergoing this referent sort of qahr, especially emotionally. That, no one has the right to do to anyone.

Is it necessary to pull up and quote today's translations of the Toreh? Or Quran?  Or Mr so and so's book on the manual of illegal abuse of human beings? Not necessary, to see what is evident.

No to scant rest, under nourished but still making it, prolonging agony, worrying every minute of a 24 hour day, and then, here comes another sickening set of scenes that indelibly mar the health of the mind, and claim the life or lives of near relatives, on top of previous waves of the same.

Stop.

Events of October 7th, a few seasons ago, already in consideration, so too moments of extremism upon descendants of different bloodlines, groupings and ancestries going back through the ages, from manna and quail being sent down, (bread to balance your diet, etc.), to oppression in Azerbaijan region in the late 1800s, on through the Holocaust.

Lebanon has been through taking brunts of a mission said to be an Israeli mission back around the 1980s as a reference time frame.

Summarily, all of the extreme oppression is off.  Not to ramble, 'you know what I'm talking about'.
The cult of sadistic violence getting started, revived, or perpetrated.


Afterwords 
The link to the above photo at the AP news story, is https://dims.apnews.com/dims4/default/66a8cbd/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6000x4000+0+0/resize/1198x798!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F1b%2Fa4%2F66cab4db79a3ab75e3d1fbef5e04%2Fbd33df54d5414f579410879c1958107c

It might be pushing plagiarism, however, this story is a discussion respective the content of what is in the photo.

I remember the Lebanese American poet and writer, Sam Hamoud, who used to hold back on publishing photos depicting gratuitous violence, out of respect for the health of humanity, (regardless of what their personal religion walk of life was). 40 years later, the types of incidents and acts of oppression, where viewers of the news better not see actual photos and footage that led up to the moments at the funeral afterwards, seem to be making their way into persisting.

Trying to stay as positive as possible, is an aim. Trying to stay as positive as possible given some of the advents and challenges going on right through here, is becoming increasingly difficult due to that presenting the sheer facts affects the flow. 
This outline is one of many; a number of news outlets have caught in to the trends, and major concerns.

The New York Post has a story out somewhere between today and yesterday citing an individual who is reported to have murdered a man that was r...
