The following chapters are independent essays that were written between July 2015 and February 2016. They appear in random order, and therefore they do not have to be read in the order they appear. The issue in all the essays is the connection between the energy policies of various countries, their foreign policies, and the wars that brake out at various parts of the globe, since all three are closely related. I describe many economic interests and many alliances in my essays. But alliances change and so do economic interest. Therefore what is more important for the reader is to have an idea of the global resources i.e. oil and natural gas in my essays, because global resources change at a much lower pace than economic interests and economic alliances. The alliances and conflicts I describe in my essays might not exist in the near future, but if you have an idea of the global resources you will be able to see the alliances and the economic interests that will exist in the future.

On the other hand all chapters deal with same issue, i.e. the Libyan energy industry, her foreign policies, and her wars for oil, and therefore they are somehow connected....

الإمامة في فكر أهل البيت عليهم السلام لكل نظام سياسي نظرية على أساسها يُخاطب الجمهور المؤمن بالنظرية أو المتعاطف معها، وقبل تولي الحكم ـ عادة أو بعده في بعض الحالات ـ يحاول أرباب السياسة جمع الأتباع حول نظريتهم لتبنيها والدفاع عنها، والإمامة هي المسألة التي كانت على مر العصور مورد الصراع بين المسلمين. واختلفت الآراء في كون الإمامة من شؤون المكلفين لتكون من الفروع ام انها من الشؤون الإلهية فتكون من أصول الدين. وذهبت مدارس أصحاب الحديث والمعتزلة والخوارج إلى كون الإمامة من الفروع لا الأصول. واما عند أهل البيت عليهم السلام فالإمامة من المناصب الإلهية، ودور الإمام الدور المكمل للرسالة والنبوة، ولذا وجب ان يكون الإمام متحلياً بكل الكمالات النفسانية التي يتحلى بها النبي لكي يكون مؤهلاً للقيام بوظائف الإمامة. ...

This is not a love story; neither is it a story about love... The UglyBeautiful Tale of a Stupid, Stupid Heart is a story, fictitious and real yet imaginatively recounted and recreated anew, about living a lie, a day at a time until death suddenly, fiercely shuts its dark door of mercy, and tramples one upon the vast emptiness. This is especially the case when David and Wairimu, apparently engaged in a forbidden passion, unfortunately finds themselves in the unforgivable, cruel and menacing jaws of death in Runyenjes thanks to a bloodthirsty mob that is on a killing spree and eager to avenge the deaths of their fellow tribesmen butchered earlier in Rift Valley, Kisumu and the Coast. David is a dynamic character whose emotions, attitudes, and temperaments are unfathomable. After betraying his childhood sweetheart, Chebet, and subsequently abandoning her in her most needy hour to face an accusing world after an unexpected pregnancy all by herself, he discreetly falls in love with Wairimu. Wairimu is an exceedingly beautiful, gorgeous, exquisite, marvelous and amazing young woman whose irresistible charms, wit and affection takes his l...

Still, people laughed, others cried. Some married. As a man with sweet food before him, nobody expected the powers that were to fathom the bitterness of famine! David was getting used to the drama. Nothing was exciting anymore. His past envy for Onyango was much alive now. Perhaps the man was passing some good time in the hereafter. So much was happening...So much for his soul to bear. Learning institutions across the country had to open its gates to tens of thousands of hopeless students very late, and Shiro had no otherwise other than wait for another very long week. David always prayed for his kids not to succumb to the overwhelming wave of disillusionment. Wairimu was yet to return from her rural home in Runyenjes. She had gone back to her rural village to vote and had heard of the chaos targeting the people from her community. He hated politics. He hated politicians. He hated religious leaders. He hated Christians. He hated Muslims. He hated atheists. He hated news people. He hated PNU. He hated ODM. He hated all the hypocrisies, lies, betrayals, tribalism, negative ethnicity, propaganda, and the insatiable appetite for abso...

Today I decided to write a book, there shall be included a concise part of my cooperation with the White House and the Central Intelligence Agency and Human Rights Watch (HRW) and the IFRC (the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies). A few political leaders of England and France, agents of NSA (The National Security Agency of the United States, which has forbidden me from submitting any secret information) and CIA and Mossad and Shin Bet (Shabak) and USSS (The United States Secret Service) and Microsoft personals have communicated with me, inquiring about what I have now started to write. My life is full of espionage and political memories. When I started my political activities and when I started to fight for freedom of people, I was only 14. I was a teenage boy. An investigative student. It caused that I got tortured (by exposure) extremely hard. I have been all around hell, all around the Globe. I have stayed in Russia; places so cold that your very bones inside of you shriek. Deep down inside the underground city, where you ask yourself “How is it possible for satellites with their warheads to track me...

It’s about the beginning of the latest century. Inside a calm city, near a warm bed there’s a personal computer near the backdoor on the first floor of a creaky house, a teenage boy is inside. He has heard much gossip about the daily challenges and the everyday complaints which people are confronted by and dealing with. Those people who are the heart, the soul, and the backbone of our society, auctioning their own homes; and their suspicious activities are under supervision in their everyday lives! Just imagine a group of rebels have dropped a woman inside a big hole and they are throwing stones at her head, stones tear the skin of her head and blood covers her face. Before one of the great disasters happens in another country, a group of people who have authority to observe, those whose work we call ‘social engineering’, inside the bubble1, inside top-secret facilities are looking into some jets; the jet pilots keep flying and they crash the jets into a great building! Have you ever thought about why these impressive disasters affect our everyday life, and it may cause so many negative effects, deep in our souls! If someone told yo...

Brief Introduction of the Book 2020.2 The book records my comments about all events in the world in the form of diary. Every event documented and reviewed has been based on political affairs in a contemporary age. Our age now has entered a particular period in which traditional religion has failed in its attempt to adjust the relation between men as usual. Human beings therefore are exposed to a great risk. I have been given a sign from God to help human beings go through crises and sufferings. Whenever I report major events occurring in China and other countries and my views, I will hear the message of God and put it down in my diary. Moreover, I would deliver the message to each country via network. There will always appear a dramatic sharp turn in political events involved at the will of God. Readers may verify my words according to the writing time of each diary and dramatic changes of historical events. Some of the political events recorded in the book have happened, and some have not. So you can view the book as a prophesy or evidence proving God's permission for my point of view. The prophecy and Centur...

Political polarization occurs when the views or expectations of one person or a group of people reflect those of a political party (in the US: Democrat or Republican) or an ideology (liberal or conservative). Political polarization isn’t something to fear. In fact, it’s a test for democracy and for progress. The most notable example of modern times political polarization was the French Estate General during which those who were for the revolution seated at the right wing of the Assembly, while those who were against the revolution seated at the left wing of the Assembly. If political polarization is a litmus test for democracy and progress, just like everything else, too much of it is detrimental. Usually, when polarization affects the outcome of the popular vote, that means the political bodies have already been polarized. Because of that, whoever is elected, either by the electoral college or the House of representatives, must do more than his predecessors to bring the country together thanks to bipartisan initiatives, decisions or policies. But here is the thing: presidents elected exclusively by electoral vote or by House of rep...

The US electoral college started to cast doubt in American voters only 20 years after the 12th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1804, which provides for election of the president and vice president by the electoral college. Should there be no majority vote for one person, the House of Representatives (one vote per state) chooses the president and the Senate the vice president. Today, 213 years after the first harbinger sign surfaced in 1824 with the election of John Quincy Adams, the efficiency of the electoral college is still a hot and a highly moot topic… At the time the US constitution was written and ratified, it was, thanks to its vision, an endeavor that was entirely ahead of its time. It epitomizes American exceptionalism, which is characterized by a unique history, a unique mission, and unique values. Alexis de Tocqueville was the first to pinpoint that exceptionalism and to give it his approval or benediction in his book Democracy in America. He was a French observer of American democracy who traveled throughout the new American country and let his French colleagues and philosophers back home know, afterw...

From the Editor's page: "The rising level of political violence in El Salvador and the increasing military involvement of the United States began making front-page headlines in this country about five years ago. But as Allan Nairn reports in his carefully researched article, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon set their intervention in motion much earlier. They have been actively aiding official terror in El Salvador for more than two decades—often in violation of US law, always in violation of Washington's pious rhetoric calling for an end to the violence. Allan Nairn, a twenty eight year old free-lance writer, lives in New York City but has spent much of his time these last four years in Central America. His reporting from the region has been used by such varied outlets as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic, In These Times, The Guardian of London, Multinational Monitor, and CBS News. Nairn's work on this article, which he hopes to expand into a book, began late last year and included a five-week stay in El Salvador, where he conducted dozens of interviews with military officers, civilian offi...
