Measuring the Escalated Scale of the Palestine Israel Conflict

July 9, 2014

The world awakes this morning to the sound of missiles being fired, as if the era regressed to the way it was in World War Two.

Looking at the rationale for the escalation to large quantities of missile exchange, was it the series of abducted and ‘dehumanized’ teenagers within recent weeks?

Those with, the knowledge of how to carry forth with prudence, and wisdom that weigh properly measure for measure, thought that the solution to precluding violence that resembles the events of 20 or 30 years ago, was done so by the thorough work of police conducting their investigations into the abduction exchange.  The investigations did occur.  So why did violence escalate to the extent it has?  Now the question is, was the missile exchange seen now, inevitable?

It seems there were some confessions as to the abductions.  Is that enough to catapult into full scale war?

The concentration of violence is reported to be in the Gaza area.

Reports are almost 40 people have died since Monday day before yesterday.  Reports also indicate about 700 people have been wounded in that time frame.  Are all 35 to 40 people dead intricately tied to the teen abductions of the last few weeks?

The populations in the world that know the trends of the ‘Palestine-Israel’ conflict, could almost sense the escalation to increased violence was coming, if a viable solution to preclude them was not set in place in time.

'Palestine-Israel' conflict, is in quotes because there is more going on in the region, a region with holy attributions that goes back to the times at least of Isa/Jesus, the Injeel, or as popularly known, 'Biblical Times', than just a two-way strife of violence by one side Palestinians, and the other side Israelis.

Problematic to the recent teen abduction situation, is the history of illegal smuggling that has gone on in the region for years, especially around 2009.  Human organ smuggling, such as kidney smuggling, is one of the markedly popularly known black market schemes of concern.

It is known by those familiar with the region, that certain areas, especially at night, are not areas where it is prudent to be traveling or hitchhiking.  This is not to say that the entirety of the teen abduction that occurred recently was due to hitchhiking in unsafe areas, what it does bring up are subject areas that need to be immediately addressed:

1-  The increase in safety measures using non-violent technologies for regions which could be loosely described as ‘low zones’, these zones meaning areas not as populated, not as wealthy, and not as urbanized.  Referent areas might have been used to sneak crimes such as trafficking in.  Has there been an adequate upsurge in the safety measures that are comprised of surveillance cameras and lighting, been provided for all, Palestinians, Israelis, tourists, visitors, travelers to pay respects to the Holy Land and Holy Sites, and diplomats?

2-  Palestinian and Israeli identity in the sense of belonging, among the youth.  Knowledge can wade away, and new methods of accessing, organizing, and presenting knowledge evolve.  What is a Palestinian, what is an Israeli?- is something that , where some youth might find out in the course of study, that they have ancestry to both sets of groups, and have to make a decision as to who they belong. Moving to the next point…

3-  …Which leads to, is the two-pronged framework of either Palestinian or Israeli overly simplified with respect to where everything is now?  Are youth being forced to enter one of two camps, when not applicable, nor appropriate, and which could contribute to fueling conflict?

4-  Parents, markedly of youth that are in the 18 to 25 year old age group, from all over the world, areas of Europe that has seen waves from there to Israeli immigration at the forefront, must be appropriately aware that their son or daughter who might have joined the Israeli military, might have done so without having the same kind of long-dated sense of ancestral ties to Bany Israel, briefly translated as the Sons, Children, or Tribe of Israel, Israel, Palestine, Assyria, or eastern Egypt, Trans-Jordan, or other regions that may have come and gone in place-name, in or very near the now known as Palestine-Israel region.

The principal and concept of ‘keep out our Holy War’, can sometimes be unfair to the rest of the world.  When world leaders have to stop what they are doing, to assist in the peace process after a sudden increase spike in violence, it pulls away from the set of people that are being asked to mind their business.  For example, here in the U.S., there are economic challenges that include children not having par level education, in some cases, inadequate school facilities to even go to school.  Rates of joblessness, homelessness, and hunger, have affected Americans nationwide.  Straightforwardly, they need money, help, and assistance.  When the food gets taken out of hungry children’s’ mouths, so that a Palestine-Israel situation can be urgently attended, many become involved, even if remotely indirectly.

Generally, progress of the human being, becomes an issue, when Palestine and Israelis go at it, as if it were decades ago.  The fortune of non-violent technology becoming available that can be used to work toward peaceful solutions, has to be used ahead of using minimal increases in technology such as more powerful rockets.

In closing this brief news with some commentary, is the concern of the balance of attention that a region at war gains, and also when the parties involved in the conflict are geographically adjacent to each other.  Ukraine-Russia from a few months ago, Korea-Japan from a few weeks ago, turbulence over the South-China Sea, who deserves most?


 

Nigeria: Blast or Blasts. What is Clear is the Situation Requires Administering

July 1, 2014
There is a sense that this kind of situation is either starting to evolve, about to, or is already.  Referring to, one blast that upsets the region and makes world news, then another.  With all the streams of information made available on news sources, making crystallization out of the muddle as to all the details, especially as the aftermath is unfolding, is a challenge.

However, what is clear, is administering to the tragic events probably has the consensus as a 'must'.

Regarding Nigeria in the past couple of days.

The issue is forced to be at the front page news.  Sometimes the keeper of the house has to tend to the behaviors of the guests regardless of stimulus of the activities, -like it or not-.
 

High School Student Safety Needs to be Addressed as of Immediate April 2014

April 14, 2014
What the cause is, and whether they were under the control of man or control of the destiny of nature, incidents over the past few months involving high school students, demands that a viable unshaken solution be found.

A few marked incidents:
  • Pennsylvania high school stabbing last week, Franklin Regional, subject of focus, 16 years old, about 22 injured or affected, a teacher included
    • barely coming off the Ft. Hood incident involving a disgruntled soldier, a few days earlier
  • Texas school stabbing, Spring High School, September 2013
  • Wicked crash involving FedEx truck in northern California, claiming lives
  • In Russia, in recent months, there was a school shooting, fatalities were included, the subject of attention, was reportedly 16 years old, Moscow, February 2014, held 20 hostage, a teacher a victim
  • In years past, is the popularly known Columbine shooting

There are many more, and further details.

This article, initially written 2:30pm E.S.T. 04/14/2014, might possibly be continued.

 

Attacks on U.S. Bases on U.S. Soil: Identifying and Defining Safety Vulnerabilities

April 3, 2014
Condolences to those that served, honorably, with dignity.
7:15pm E.S.T.
Already an overwhelming amount of coverage has been placed upon the Fort Hood incident.  Thereunto, there is probably no need to reiterate findings concerning the disheartening event.

Improving safety is always a priority.
Questions that lie in the wake of yesterday's shooting may include:
  • What are the cycles of events, that contain events such as the most recent salient Fort Hood shooting?  Why did, or do these cycles events occur?
  • How far beyond, perhaps comparatively, cut-and-dried designations for safety, should be taken as areas for increased safety development?
Other events that the memory of is evoked with the events of Wednesday April 2nd:
  • Columbine tragedy
  • 2009 Fort Hood Shooting
  • Columbia Mall shooting that took place in recent months in Maryland
  • Shooting in Norfolk, Virginia that claimed the life of Navy personnel
  • Parade disaster when float struck within the past several years
 

U.S. West Coast Serious Severe Catastrophe Storm and Climate Related Markedly Mud Slides and Meanwhile Warnings of Reflections of What Might be a Carnage of Malay Flight 370

March 25, 2014
Mud slides on the northwest U.S. coastal area has taken a toll that is estimated at nearing 200 lives unaccounted for.  This as of 10:00am E.S.T.

Recently, heavy flooding occurred in the southern quarter of California.  Not long after seismic to include possible earthquake activity took place in the state, if not the same region.  The pattern of tumult of geological masses, speaks.

Always leave possibility that there could be more climatic geological geographic activities in the upcoming months, weeks, or even days, that might require emergency assistance from all states.

Proactive and expedient assistance needless to say is needed to help locate and rescue and save the lives of those missing from the landslide.

Meanwhile over in the Malaysia region, some of the theories of what happened to the missing plane in Flight 370 might be getting too far fetched in the wrong directions.  It is possible that whatever happened to the plane might be outside the norm of expectation, however, directing theories toward what is constructive might help streamline solutions.

The waters are so rough in that region that if the plane was in many pieces, it they could be carried in many directions for hundreds of miles in different directions.

Search technology must include the capacity to locate sunk objects that are BELOW the ocean floor, as some of the pieces might have been swallowed, if such events occurred.

Physics might have it, that a 180 degree turn-around in mid flight might have caused the momentum of one direction to tear the plane in half or lose a wing if that event is theorized.

Whatever happened on board the plane, after the lights went out, was probably not what happens in the movies, but a zig-zag of course of the plane.  There might have been a struggle on board if there were aggressive activities, or if there were natural activities meaning from air streams or storms, or electromagnetic interference from forms of life in the ocean, then the pilot would have made an effort for safe arrival in possible conjunction with a change, or if forced to fly to somewhere or on a course direction, would have made some sort of curve in flight pattern from the original to the one off trail as opposed to a mid flight 180 or 120 like a paper airplane held in your hand.

Here are some other events in history that can be used to analyze what might have happened to scattered metal objects from flight and water vehicles:

Titanic
  • Space Shuttle Disasters
  • Flight disasters off the coast of New York sometime after 1996
  • Other flight disasters

Technology that might help:
  • Satellite imagery-- going back in time an closely examining reels of footage for the day the plane disappeared
  • Infra red satellite
  • If there was an extreme heat from wrongful activity, it might show on the reels.  If there was no out of the ordinary heat, or erratic activity of flight path, then there is the slight possibility that the plane landed somewhere on land, and the folks are or were trapped.

Who else might hold clue:
  • Ask native peoples that live on coastal areas, like south-eastern India, Sri Lanka, aborigines, and folks that might not speak popular languages. 
  • Ask children that were out playing in the hills if they saw anything.

Refer Burma/Myanmar page for air strikes over the EOM February/2026 start of March 2026 time frame. Up for consideration is the be mindful of the whole pie concept. There may very well be a double team set of missile strikes going on on Iran, subject to differing views; however there are still a number of situations going on globally that are weighted, such as violence in different areas of where the Sahel and Northern Africa meet, situations of starvation in the eastern areas of the belt as well; and missile strikes in other regions.
