GOTTA LOVE EDMONTON #1

A montage of a chain of incidents with composite conversation a la 'The Conversation' 1974, with Gene Hackman.

"Police complaint line, can I help you?"
"Yes, I filed a complaint 2 weeks ago, file #_________."
"The stolen Honda civic and the Aboriginal thief?"
"Yes."
"Do you have more information?"
"Yes, you can close the file.
"Why"
"The thief died last night in the cold. It was -20°C. He was homeless. He banged on my door at 11:00pm. I threw him out. He was found this morning in the creek ravine. He had mental health issues and was Aboriginal."
"Well, there's one less bad guy in the world."
"Well, he stole my car, and several others, but he was damaged, not 'bad'". "The damage left his head scrambled and it was in a different world from the rest of us. He couldn't get along with people." "And so he was broke", "And homeless."

"He was all of those things because he was Aboriginal, so his mother, being in the Edmonton, had no access to traditional supports when she was pregnant and had a new baby. The White system afforded her no access to White resources so mother and child had basically no support at all. Probably she had no money, either to keep herself or to raise a child."

"And, of course, she was dealing with the effects of 157 years of abuse to her population by Canada, and so had a lot of internal damage of her own to deal with."

"So, really, the fact that he lived till thirty something is rather remarkable, and the fact that he died is more proof of the systemic racism of the system. But never mind, just make a note in the file."
'Goodby'.

Took advantage of being back in Paris for a short time and bought a lot of beans and spices at half the price compared to those in south of France.

It's unbelievable how much cheaper these products are in Paris. I bought 2 full bags of beans, spices, peanut butter and vegetables for 53 euros. The same items would cost me at least 90-100 euros here in the south.

Carrying them on the full packed train was a drag but now I can make some delicious Indian food for the coming months.

Israeli Intelligence and Political Circles are starting to doubt the validity and constraints of the Camp David Treaty, signed in 1979, and considered one of the most important treaties in relations to Israel.

The Mossad believes that :

1 - The Egyptian Border Security forces have become "lackluster" and purposefully allow certain smuggling operations to occur unrestricted, this comes after #Hamas and all other organizations in #Gaza purged themselves of #MuslimBrotherhood elements and made promises that the weapons and arms being sent to them will not be smuggled back or directed towards Egyptian forces.

2 - The Egyptian government refuses to cooperate with the Israeli one on the recent shootout that killed 4 Israeli soldiers stationed on the border, Mossad believes that the higher-ups, under the table, are purposefully being "off-hands" in regards to the soldiers and that more operations committed are possible, and that the Egyptian border can not be considered "safe." anymore.

3 - Mossad notes that Egypt has become the third largest importer of #weapons globally over the past several years, and a sizeable amount of the weapons imported are of an offensive nature, coupled with points 1 and point 2, alongside other points that will be written about, the situation can escalate from "cold peace" to passive or outright hostility.

4 - Israeli lobby attempts in #Germany to prevent the sale of Type 209 #Submarines, which directly threaten the Israeli navy presence in the #RedSea and the Eastern àMediterranean, have failed, although they are succeeding in America by forcing the Americans to refuse to upgrade the arms of "sensitive" fields - like the #Airforce, the same efforts are not bearing fruits in other countries.

5 - The Attempts of diversification from American arms, although tolerated at first, are now considered a national security threat to Israel, because one of the main points of the Camp David Treaty was that Israel would always maintain a Qualitative Edge over American-supplied partners in the region, the recent purchase of #Russian, àChinese, #Indian, #SouthKorean, and #European countries arms, with most of these purchases being of an offensive nature, is causing circles in #TelAviv to be seriously concerned, especially there are Hardliners of a Military and Political nature in Egypt who never believed in #CampDavid in the first place as a long term plan, a researcher at the Israeli Command and Staff college and #Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security links this path to the same one taken by #Nasser, a staunch Egyptian leader who fought 3 #wars against Israel.

6 - Normalization with #Iran is panicking the Israelis, and coupled with the previous points, the noose is figurately, and perhaps literally, being tightened around their necks.

7 - àMossad also noted that although #Egypt is ranked around 40-45th globally in terms of military spending, the quantity, and increase of size, logistical centers, and military factories has increased the standing of Egypt, militarily and industrially, on a regional and international scale around the top 20.

#Bharani #Nakshatra: The recommended tree is #Ayala or #Indian #gooseberry for this nakshatra. Natives of the Bharani Nakshatra should offer whole Akshat, Kumkum, chant hymns, and meditate upon their God while sitting under this tree. By doing this, the native’s life becomes prosperous and peaceful.
As per #VedicAstrology, the ruling planet for Bharani Nakshatra is Plane #Venus. It looks like a #Yoni. The Hindu deity for this Nakshatra is #Yama. The gender of this star is female. If you belong to Bharani constellation, check out predictions related to it such as characteristics, personality and traits, education and income, family life, and much more.
