Well said!

Small reminder needed though--before the US, there was France. The US picked up where France left off.

#Transcription of my #speech for #deaf folks - as it wasn't provided on vid.Hi, everyone. Thank you for showing up with #community #solidarity, to call for a #PermanentCeasefire in support of #Palestinians who are suffering #famine & #genocidal violence under #Israeli occupational forces.

My name is Que & I'm a survivor of the #USinvasion #WarOnVietnam I was a #WarChild conceived & born under active shelling & had #IntergenerationalTrauma pre & post birth.

We were #displaced from our homes & survived in a #RefugeeCamp in Indonesia for a year. We were sponsored to come to Canada in late 1979 as #WarRefugees, seeking #asylum.

My patriarch family lived in #Cholon the #Chinese District in #Saigon & my matriarch family lived in a tiny village near Canto near the Hau River in #SouthVietnam. Both sides of my family had already lived through multiple foreign invasions & foreign militarized imperialism & colonialism by the time the US invaded & occupied our lands.

Many of us living Vietnam war civilian survivors can relate so well to the many struggles, the suffering, the violent foreign occupation & also the passionate resilience & resistance of the Palestinian peoples.

Throughout the 1960s into the 1970s both areas that my family lived in were carpet bombed. My Matriarch family village was bombed out of existence by 1970. The rebuilding took 18 years. Cholon was #CarpetBombed twice & the scenes from those aftermaths are eerily similar to the scenes from #Gaza after #Israel carpet bombed the area.

The #USmilitary used #Vietnamese #civilians as involuntary guinea pigs. They tested out never used before #WarMunitions including #biochemical warfare like #AgentOrange & #NerveGasBombs on our peoples.

Our peoples, our lands, our waters - still suffer the toxic & deadly effects from the illegal - illegal #biowarfare chemical uses by the #USA to this day & our peoples & especially our children are still suffering from the many leftover war munitions, exploding, maiming & killing innocent civilians.

Israel is treating the Palestinian peoples very much like the USA had treated our Vietnamese peoples. Like we are not human. We do not deserve to live. The dehumanization of Palestinians is too similar to how the USA dehumanized our Vietnamese peoples. We're savages. We are vermin. We're stupid tunnel rats. We're gooks & we deserve to die.

The USA bombed our #schools, our #hospitals, our #temples, our #ResidentialAreas - just like Israel has bombed schools, hospitals, temples & residential areas in Palestine. The USA has more powerful weapons of mass destruction while fighting resistance forces with much less firepower. The Vietnamese #ResistanceForces also used #TunnelSystems & some of them are now part of an #educational #LivingMuseum.

Vietnam is now #SovereignNation because the occupational militarized US forces left which opened up our path to #DiplomaticNegotiations. Palestinians deserve their true path to diplomatic Solutions too. They deserve a sovereign state. That can not happen without a permanent - not a temporary - a permanent ceasefire - an end to #IllegalOccupation by Israel.

You cannot occupy & oppress a people & claim you are a #democracy. True #Democratic states do not occupy & oppress people for decades. True Democratic states do not jail, murder & deny #PressFreedom to #journalists. True democratic states do not arrest, vilify, nor illegally detain their own citizens with dissenting voices. True democratic states don't continue to violate multiple #InternationalLaws so openly & so disrespectfully.

Israel has become too #arrogant that's mainly due to the Western powers like the USA & #Canada continuing to put their #WarProfiteer interests over #humanitarian & global #PublicInterests.

At a time when we need an arms embargo on Israel, the US & Canada sent billions more in war munitions & funding to Israel. It is shameful.

Our politicians tell us there's not enough money to fund more essential health & medical service needs. There's not enough money to increase the pay scale of essential medical staff. There's not enough money to fund environmental protection & cleanups. There's not enough to help our seniors & disabled not live in poverty anxiety. There's not enough to fund safer, more inclusive, accessible education. There's not enough to provide more low income & some more support of housing for our most marginalized citizens. These are all citizen needs that our governments have told they cannot afford to fully fund but they can find billions to fund ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. That is not okay & that is not in our public interest.

I urge everyone here to please keep contacting all of your local provincial & federal representatives in every way possible & ask them to please push Trudeau to call for both a permanent ceasefire & to initiate an arms embargo on Israel - NOW.

Please keep having the conversations with people you know & people you don't know about Palestine. The conversations are important. Please keep standing in solidarity with Gaza & all Palestinians.

The antidote to despair is action. This here is humanity in action & I thank all of you for showing your humanity & your ongoing support of Palestinians because remember, no democracy can exist without the freedom of citizens dissenting voices and I appreciate all of your voices dissenting, against our government who is still supporting genocide.

Free Palestine!

This video contains historical images of #Egypt in the 1800's. You can tell they've done a lot of work to display the sites for tourists.

Quote Some of the Oldest Photos of Egypt, before the restoration of Egyptian Temples, before unburying the Sphinx, and before Mcdonalds and Pizza Hut popped up in Giza 😉

Ancient Egypt was an incredible place and a really important part of humanity's history, so it's a pleasure to bring you this research and I hope you enjoy each of these historical pictures.

You'll see rare and historic images of Egyptian #Temples, the Egyptian #Pyramids, the #Giza Plateau, the Great #Sphinx and #ncient Egyptian #Statues and Artifacts. Kudos to the Archaeologists who spent the painstaking time to reconstruct this era of Ancient #History into what we see today, block by block, piece by piece.

#TEMPLE OF THE #64 #YOGINIS / #DAKINIS & #TANTRA
#Kama translated from #Sanskrit broadly means #Desire. #Sutra means #aphorism.

"The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text which, is considered the primary Sanskrit work on human sexuality. It was written by Mallanaga Vatsyayana in the 2nd century CE. The Kama Sutra is a part of a greater treatises on Dharma, Artha, & Kama (Virtue, Wealth & Desire respectively) as constituent elements of a path to achieve Moksha (liberation). It treats the subject of a Courtesean with some depth. The Kama Sutra is ahead of its time in the way it approaches, contextualizes, and describes how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life’s beauty. From CHAPTER II, OF THE WAYS OF EXCITING DESIRE, AND MISCELLANEOUS EXPERIMENTS, AND RECIPES of the Kama Sutra, translated by Richard Burton

‘Thus have I written in a few words the “Science of love”, after reading the texts of ancient authors, and following the ways of enjoyment mentioned in them.’

‘He who is acquainted with the true principles of this science pays regard to Dharma, Artha, Kama, and to his own experiences, as well as to the teachings of others, and does not act simply on the dictates of his own desire. As for the errors in the science of love which I have mentioned in this work, on my own authority as an author, I have, immediately after mentioning them, carefully censured and prohibited them.’

From my explorations (and I’m open to signs pointing otherwise), the Kama Sutra and Khajuraho are not obviously connected besides both subjects not excluding sexuality. However, I am intrigued by the connection between the temple of 64 Yoginis/Dakinis, Chapter III – On the study of the 64 arts in the Kama Sutra, and connections with the Temple Arts. Explorations to be continued in a future post."
