Basic Truths of the World We Live In
                                                                                                                              

Questions and Answers are cited below as

"Q" and "A"

1. Q: Who established those basic truths?

A: Science and discovery.

2. Q: To what "basic truths" do we refer?

A: That the hominoid ape emerged from his prior evolution about two million years ago.

3. Q: Is that all?

A: No.

4. Q: Science and discovery also establish the hominoid ape, evolving in Africa, Asia, and other places. But then what?

A: Science and discovery establish no superiority whatever of species, race, color or faith.

5. Q: Does evolution show any evolving superiority of territory or place?

A: No, except that the nature of the evolving environment, if cold or hot or otherwise unusual etc. may tend to modify the characteristics of the beings exposed to those environmental conditions.

6. Q: Does the foregoing mean that science and discovery, establish no entitlement whatever by race color, faith or other evaluation?

A: Yes.

7. Q: Is the foregoing consistent with the proposition of the President in his Second Inaugural Address?

A: The President was correct in his claim that America can only be victorious if it abjures dictatorships of any kind and adheres to the support of freedom and democracy.

He was further correct that America's own security as well as peace and happiness of the world, - depend upon America's avoidance of hypocrisy, and adherence to reality as perceived by mankind.

8. Q: Is there any cautionary signal?

A: Inevitably, yes. Otherwise, the general proposition controls, that success or failure in our presidential positions, depend upon truthful or untruthful presentation.

9. Q: What does this mean?

A: That liberty and freedom must always be backed up by force, - if necessary.

10. Q: Any examples, please?

A: I refer to Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes' famed limitation on the U.S. Constitutional First Amendment non-right to yell fire in a crowded theater or promote other similar destructive results.

11. Q: Any further limitations on the foregoing?

A: Yes. Regarding the President's creation of enormous and unnecessary problems for the nation, - indeed for the world, by plunging America into international war in Iraq under totally misleading supposed responsibility of Iraq for hijacking the September 11 planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, etc.

12. Q: What does the foregoing suggest?

A: That a very "basic truth" before us, is that America and the world's reaction to the presidential Second Inaugural Address on the high importance of freedom and democracy, will be measured eventually by the President's adherence to the truth.

13. Q: Are there any other examples where successful acceptance of presidential promises, depends on truth telling or not by the President?

A: Yes. 14. Q: What?

A: It was not truth telling, but the opposite, to tell Israel, that it should be ceding to the so-called "Palestinians" parts of its 3_ millennia homeland.

15. Q: Why not?

A: Since long before Rome, from about 3 _ millennia before the Common Era, Israel not only existed, in its own homeland (Eretz Yisrael), but was recognized by the Bible, then more recently by the League of Nations, U.S. Joint Congressional Resolutions of 1922, Balfour Declaration of 1917, Agreement of the Arab Emir Faisal with Chaim Weitzman (the first President of the State of Israel), - and much more.

16. Q: Were there related reports by the U.S. Armed Forces?

A: Numerous times. The unanimous and repeated American military verdict was that Israel is defendable only by control of Israel's homeland between its eastern border at the Jordan River level, about 1000 ft. below Sea Level, rising up the mountain westerly from the Jordan to about 2,000 ft. above Sea Level, - totally for about a 3,000 ft. rise (dropping gradually to the Mediterranean Sea on the west).

17. Q: Are these Arab claimants on Israel in fact "Palestinians"?

A: By no means. Palestine is the Roman naming of Israel to punish it for its revolts against Rome in the early days of the Common Era.

When the Arab forces attacked Israel to destroy it, upon its Declaration of Independence in 1948 and thereafter, - then the Arabs referred to themselves as Arabs and never as Palestinians. They found that they could not destroy Israel by force.

18. Q: What happened then?

A: The Arabs then, - with the help of the UN in which they dominated by their numbers in the UN Assembly, succeeded in a fraudulent renaming of parts of Israel as Arab territory.

19. Q: What was the purpose of the Arabs in that?

A: That enabled the Arabs (the portion of them who had migrated to Israel from other Arab lands, to find better jobs and lifestyle in renaissance Israel), - to react in typical Bedouin style, by claiming their host's homeland as their own homeland, - unlawfully occupied by their host, Israel.

20. Q: Is that the whole picture?

A: No. It is necessary to remind the world that the Arabs already have 3 million sq. mi. of territory all the way to the west entrance to the Mediterranean.

In that territory, they have 21 states, - all dictatorships, and all distinguished by the Dictators' prior concerns for their own welfare rather than that of their peoples. They are not friends, even among themselves, - let alone in democracy.

Compare the foregoing description of territory with that of Israel whose homeland is 45,000 sq. mi., now reduced to about 10,500 sq. mi. in a vain effort to gain peace by ceding territory to Arab dictatorships pretending that the so-called "Palestinians," (- read Arabs) will stop hating Israel, by reducing or ending Israel's homeland.

21. Q: In sum?

America's failure or success in the enunciated Second Inaugural Address, and the world beyond us, must depend eventually on adherence to truth, freedom and implementation in democracy.
