If We Moderates Fail To Speak Out Against Extremists Everyone Is Doomed.
By Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Philosopher.
If there is any one thing the brutal Winter War in Gaza, which was between a minority of extremists holding hostage most of Gaza’s Palestinian citizens and an Israel that cannot afford to let extremists develop a situation that would forever manage to ruin every realistic chance for peace, has taught us it is this: extremists should not and cannot be tolerated by moderates on either side, anywhere in the world! Extremism and extremists are a threat to world socio-economic stability, security and overall peace, but the longer the world’s moderates fail to realize the urgency of the need to unite and speak with one unitary and strong voice against extremists, regardless of which specific conflict it may be, the closer we get to a situation that could very well push the world into a truly hopeless abyss of extreme violence spiraling totally out of control, which would eventually, probably within years, set the whole world ablaze! You do not have to be some neurotic doomsday nut to understand why the status quo of a massive failure of moderates to truly unite, and to speak out as one, risks letting extremists decide the course of history. And if extremists are left to decide the course of human history humanity will soon be history.
One would think that the Winter War in Gaza (2008-2009) would have been enough to send a shockwave of alarm bells going off in the capitals of those relatively moderate Middle Eastern and North African, predominantly Arab and Islamic, states. The Good Lord knows that if Egypt’s moderate government were ever to fall and end up in the hand of extremists then that, in of itself, would be enough to end all chances of a relatively peaceful settlement and agreement between relatively moderate Palestinians and Israelis, and that would herald a time when almost every relatively moderate Arab government would fall and the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah would begin to take over and start both a fight amongst themselves and a seemingly endless series of extremely dangerous attacks on Israel, which would not just mean that decades of very hard diplomatic work and strategic alliance building (on the part of The United States and Europe) would vanish into oblivion, but it would mean that extremists on both sides (Israelis and Arabs) would claim to have been proven right all along: that peace cannot exist between these two peoples! And an Arab world taken over by extremists and united by perpetual and senseless extreme hatred of Jews and Israelis would also be a world that would pose a threat to Western Civilization and Liberal Democratic values, including Human Rights and the rights of Individuals, mostly by means of energy resource blackmail. The world, which already suffers from the previous eight years of Neo-Con incompetence and dangerously destabilizing policies in The Middle East and elsewhere, would surely fail to restore itself, economically and otherwise, and that would certainly lead to exceedingly violent rioting throughout Europe and North America, which would then be exploited by brutish megalomaniacs who would manage to take over control and cause further havoc and mayhem everywhere! Hundreds of years of hard work and real progress would go down the drain in a matter of a few years, if not faster, and World War Three would be one horrific mega-shock after another, including chemical, biological and nuclear warfare, to the point of total annihilation of all significant life on Earth!
And when one studies up on the whole complexity of the region’s conflict, and takes into consideration the current Iranian regime’s obvious efforts to attain nuclear weapons, with full launch capacity, capable of striking all of The Middle East and most of Europe, and when one understands what Iran would do, once it would attain such a capacity, then the urgency for real unity and progress among moderates should be absolutely obvious. For Iran would not use its nuclear weapons to strike Israel directly, but instead would be able to force the hands of Europe and The United States, after sinking several large Oil Tankers at the narrowest point of The Persian Gulf, thereby choking off a significant supply of the world’s desperately needed Oil! Iran would then be able to avoid being directly attacked by conventional military means as the USA would not want a Europe obliterated by Iranian nuclear weapons…something the extremist Iranian regime would not hesitate to do if attacked for having gained full control of the flow of Gulf Oil to the world! And then Israel, which would most likely face economic and social collapse, should the Western world stop supporting it, would then have no option but to play its only remaining cards, and that would definitely lead to World War Three, which would not last more than a few months at best!
Just this past Monday representatives of non-moderate Sunnite Islamic groups, who obviously do not represent all Sunnite Arab Muslims, met in Turkey and began to voice their desire to ignite a fully violent Jihad (as opposed to any relatively peaceful type of Jihad) in Gaza and the West Bank! Should they succeed the situation would soon become even worse than it was just this past Winter, and that would mean a final blow to any and all chances for an otherwise urgently needed, lasting, viable peace!
Time is really running out for President Barack Obama and his magnificent team of professional peace-makers to unite the relatively moderate Arab nation’s governments and to support the lukewarm beginnings of true peace between Israel and the relatively moderate PA Palestinians of the West Bank (and eventually to include Gaza…once the Hamas extremists have been properly dealt with by the PA). And one reads too many editorialists and commentators talking about how the War in Gaza means that peace between Israelis and Palestinians will now be further delayed for another two to four ears, at least! Well, we just don’t have the luxury of waiting any longer. I have good reason to think, based on various ominous reports and logical insight, that if a relatively peaceful Two-State solution is not reached by June, then too many things will ensue (happen) that will make it impossible to ever have peace at all! Both Israel and the relatively moderate Arabs must be made to understand why this is so, and how important it is for them to begin to dare to speak out against extremists on all sides. And for that to happen, for Arab and Israeli moderates to be able to come out and speak with one, loud, unequivocally strong and united voice, the rest of the world’s moderates must join the chorus and let the extremists, not just those in Iran and throughout The Middle East, but everywhere in the world, know that we moderates are not willing to remain silent and divided any longer. If we moderates fail to speak out against extremists everyone on Earth is doomed. This is just as true about The Middle East as it is about ultra-nationalists in Europe exploiting the current economic and social crises, and extremists elsewhere in the world who seem to be born of generations of people whose mindset and way of thinking is based on the artificial idealism and the surreal extremism that is caused by almost constantly playing fortuitously violent computer video games, as well as communicating over the Internet instead of in real life and even pretending to live inside virtual reality worlds! Most of these people of the Computer and Internet Age are addicted to “Virtual Reality Think” and have very weak social skills and are desensitized to extreme violence. They are generally intolerant, lack compassion and have trouble understanding why it is that in the real world one cannot just wipe out every ‘enemy’ and every person who causes the slightest annoyance or discomfort! They are unable to understand why real solutions to real problems in the real world are going to be imperfect, and as such require both willingness and even the desire to compromise and to tolerate differences in a relatively peaceful manner.
Yes, it’s that scary! The world is more and more in the hands of generations of people who grew up surrounded by computers, video games and the Internet, and who can easily become exceedingly dangerous once they mix extremist agendas with such modern technological means of communications and networking, through which it has become all too easy to sell preposterous myths and dangerously unrealistic expectations and ideals.
So, no matter how you look at the situation today; the need for peace in the Middle East is so urgent and so important that any failure to convey this awareness is, in of itself, going to give more power to the extremists who wish to convince young minds that peace is impossible and that the enemy can and will eventually be obliterated! Nothing could be further from the truth! Violent conflict between peoples will bring nothing but further senseless horrors and will push the whole world into that final abyss of total destruction and death.
What I wonder is this: Is anyone intelligent and influential enough really listening to this? And will they not see for themselves how right I am when I say that we just don’t have any time left to wait another year or more?!?

The Global Economic & Financial Crisis; Everything Is Interconnected.
Solving Our Crises Requires “New” Thinking.
By Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Philosopher.
"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them." -- Albert Einstein
The World Economic Forum in Davos 2009 was a total failure! Instead of the brightest and best qualified minds telling the whole world what the real situation is, what the real causes of the crises are, and what the obvious solutions must be, we had one mediocre minded technocrat after another detailing information that lower middle class and poor people, as well as a very few formerly rich people, already know, all too well! Where are the fresh new ideas, where are the true intellectuals, the contemporary geniuses, Einsteins, Gandhis, Karl Poppers and others of the world?? I cannot accept the idea that the world today is devoid of such great, creative, innovative and deeply perceptive thinkers! Are they being suppressed and silenced?? And if so, by whom??
I turn on the TV and watch CNN, BBC, ABC, CBS, SKY, etc., news, news and more news! And all I see are images of throngs of very frustrated, disillusioned and desperate workers and students in France, the UK, throughout Europe and the US and elsewhere sounding off the naïve mantra of radical revolution and failed political ideologies! I hear calls by masses of apparently superficially educated neo-Marxists demanding the resignation of governments, the defeat of Capitalist enterprises and institutions and the rise of totally unrealistic systems of governance and economy! At the same time I see a glimmer of real hope in Washington, as an intellectual man takes the oath of the office of The Presidency of The United States, and seems to fully understand the real causes and the real solutions to this most urgent and dangerous global set of crises! Unfortunately, I also see a Middle East on the brink of total disaster, which would surely engulf the rest of the World, and a link between events there and the global financial and economic crises.
At this point I find it necessary to disabuse you, the reader, of the notion that this article will also end up being just another well-intended failure to deliver sound advice, valid answers, and real solutions. It will not. This particular global financial and economic crisis, which can easily turn into a catastrophic global security meltdown, has its roots in systemic failures that are interlinked and deeply connected, that are socio-political and socio-economic, and which require a sophisticated set of both political and financial solutions, as well as the ability of responsible political leaders able to bring the public sector and the private sector to the negotiating tables and to hammer out truly sensible, intelligent, wise, long-term solutions, as well as immediate remedies requiring strong government intervention and massive infrastructural works and an overhaul of wasteful antiquated and environmentally unsound technologies, consumer productions and business practices! Again, let there be no mistake about it; for governments to be able to deliver urgently needed results, public trust and confidence in both the public and private sector must be restored, and that cannot happen without also strengthening Democratic and Pro-Social and Pro-Individual Freedoms, Liberties and Rights! For even as the masses rightfully sense that things are not right, they are generally mal-informed, deliberately so by political opportunists from both extremes (Right and Left), about the real causes and the real solution to the interlinked (connected) local, national and global crises we all face! It is exactly at a time like this that we need stronger voices of Universal reason and Humanistic wisdom, of true moderation and responsibly progressive liberal political orientation. Only when the masses of the people understand that the wealthy few cannot be violently overthrown or destroyed and the wealthy few understand that they need to share more of the world’s wealth and help restore public confidence in both government and the private sector, and that that can only happen if there are bright minded intellectual heroes who are afforded by the privately-controlled mass media a greater voice, only then will we be successful in diminishing the voices of extremism, of ultra-nationalism, of economically unsound protectionism, of religious intolerance, of racism, ageism and other chauvinistic and barbaric voices, that for too long have managed to gain public credence on account of a sickly mass media that feeds on extremism, sensationalism and vanities galore!
It needs to be said that the very first step to global financial and socio-economic (thus political and security) stability must surely involve a mass media willing to give much more of a voice and podium for those true intellectuals, some of whom are self-educated, who understand just how complex things really are and just how multi-disciplinary-minded one must be in order to see through the complexity the light at the end of the tunnel, the light of greater reason and understanding that shines brightly and reveals the true solutions, which are themselves based on an understanding of the interconnectivity, interdependence, and correlation of things that otherwise seem, to average mediocre minds, totally unrelated and unconnected! As long as the general public is distracted and divided by illusions of get-rich-quick schemes, or the false hope offered by extremists who sell intolerance and who get way too much media attention, the general public will not pay attention to those who offer real solutions to real problems and will not pressure their governments and leaders to take all the action urgently needed.
Capitalism has never failed humanity at all! For what has been going on, more so these past eight years under the Bush Administration, has not been real Capitalism at all, but what should properly be identified as and called Global Mass Piracy, in which a significant number, albeit not all, of the world’s richest few have plundered and pillaged societies, wrecked havoc upon and destroyed much of the Middle Class, who are the backbone of any healthy Democratic and Capitalist Social Democratic society!!! This Global Mass Piracy, which still operates as a vast conspiracy of thuggish thieves, cannot be brought down to its knees by mere public anger and government reprimands! This Global Mass Piracy has only managed to get its way because of a combination of weakness and selfish opportunism on the part of a fear- and hate-mongering mass media and inept, technocrat-riddled, cowardly governments!
The world needs to be regularly and properly educated and informed by the mass media and by governments about the interconnectedness of things, about the real dangers of extremist ideologies, about the real nature of and benefits of true Democracy, about the fact that without Capitalism and Private Ownership there can be no Privacy Rights, Personal Liberties, Freedoms and thus no Personal or Public Security at all! Social Democracy, regardless of whether it is slightly Right-of-Center or Left-of-Center is the only viable option! Social Democracy is what insures both the rights of Private Individuals and Capitalists, as well as the rights of the greater public in general, especially the rights of properly paid and relatively protected working class people and properly educated and compensated middle class people, without whom society, Democracy and Capitalism, is doomed to fail! When moderate political forces lose, the extremists win and subsequently plunge the world into total chaos and a final catastrophe!
It does not take a genius to understand all that I have said thus far!
And once the mass media is once more on the side of reason, of wisdom and of moderation, then it will be able to help herald the news of all those massive public works projects and giant infrastructural works that will provide the kind of employment and income needed to restore the world’s economic health! And then the overhaul of big business away from manufacturing junk and antiquated transportation and energy technologies towards quality, green, environmental technologies will be possible! Yet there is one other very important change needed; and that concerns the availability of truly affordable housing, both in the suburbs and within our great city-state cities! For without relatively safe, efficient, comfortable, compact and truly affordable housing there will be no healthy and new mass of long-term home owners! It is clear as can be that over-speculation in private housing drove up the cost of housing beyond the real means of the working and middle classes, and that this also created a false economy in which millions prospered at the expense of billions, and vast fortunes of digitalized wealth were amassed at the expense of entire economic sectors and financial institutions, which have since begun crumbling down unto our own heads!
We need to do in principle much of the same things that were done by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The New Deal, but in a fresh, new and much more sophisticated, visionary, long-term-considerate way!
Remember, it all starts with the right attitude on the part of the mass media and the governments, properly informing the general public about what are the real causes and what must now be done, and then going to the negotiating tables to negotiate with the world’s wealthiest few about the terms of not just a Global Sociological Ceasefire, but a long term Viable and Just Peace! The days of violent revolutions (not that they ever really worked) are over, but so must the days of unscientific and illogical and inhuman attitudes and conditions be over! We do not have a moment’s time left to waste: is the mass media going to do the right thing and share this understanding with the world, or is it going to ignore the voices of reason and wisdom still alive and kicking?? Perception sells the product first, and the product continues to sell if the perception has any real basis! The mass media are responsible for perceptions, and we must be responsible for the product!

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA!
What President Barack Obama Needs To Tell The Palestinians And Israelis
By Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, Philosopher & Middle East Peace Analyst
It is absolutely imperative that we, The United States of America, and all the other moderate states of the world, that our leaders, make it clear to both the Israeli and Palestinian sides that there is absolutely no other option but to reach a final, truly viable and relatively just peace settlement within months and not years! If anything, the complex, disturbing and very sad and tragic events of the Gaza War demonstrate just how urgent and how dangerous this historic conflict is! Given the many obvious and not-so-obvious security concerns, regarding not only the dire realities and urgency, but which involve the overall regional situation throughout the greater Middle East and its direct and indirect impact on the security and stability of the entire world, peace can no longer be postponed indefinitely. Peace must not be held hostage to senseless nuances and antiquated notions on the part of either side nor should the need for peace be perpetually ignored and avoided on account of a systemic failure of the international community to make the urgency clear to everybody, or the failure of the Israeli and Palestinian authorities and leaders to properly inform their constituents about what is really at stake here! Any relatively intelligent and knowledgeable person, especially anyone with a serious background in security issues, understands all too well that the time is already long overdue for a peace of the brave and wise, within months, if not sooner!
1967: A Non-Starter
President Obama needs to make it clear to The Palestinians and to the relatively moderate Arab nations most concerned, that the idea of Israel withdrawing to the pre-1967 borders has already, long ago, been shown to be a total and absolute non-starter for any realistic chance of a peace agreement! The Oslo Agreements and all subsequent agreements that were reached before the Camp David negotiations between Prime Minister Ehud Barack and Chairman Yasser Arafat, under the auspices of President Clinton, in 2000, make it perfectly clear that Israel, for very specific and understandable reasons, both logical and hypothetical, cannot agree to withdrawing to borders that existed prior to 1968. Obviously no Israeli political leader would survive long enough to deliver any such 1967-type agreement, such as the one proposed by Saudi Arabia lately, for that would mean an Israel that would actually have no strategic parity with its neighbors should they ever default on any so-called peace treaty, peace settlement agreement!
In fact, it would cause a more dangerous situation to arise, which would easily turn into the very kind of Global Security Meltdown and Final World War conflagration we currently risk facing. True deterrence, in effect prevention of total disaster, is contingent on The Palestinians accepting a situation that does not involve Israel withdrawing exactly to the pre-1968 borders and lines of demarcation. That said, what Oslo and Madrid and all subsequent understandings have basically suggested and offered is a viable, lasting, and relatively just peace involving almost everything that the Saudi Plan would entail, with some very clear exceptions, that, I must stress once more, are totally non-negotiable by any realistic Israeli leader! Most of the issue revolves around the special status of Jerusalem, which in a certain sense and manner will have to remain almost entirely united and part of Israel, with obvious exception to The Old Muslim Quarter, which would itself gain a special, unique, and rather seemingly complex status under a joint Palestinian-Jordanian authority, and which would still be part of a very complex Intra-National and International agreement and arrangement. And there are other relatively minor territories and issues that collectively are major factors in establishing the kind of viable and logically sensible peace arrangement and agreement, whose details I shall not be able to specify in this relatively brief essay.
Further Postponement of Peace: Too Great a Peril To Israel, The Palestinians and World Peace and Stability Itself
President Barack Obama needs to use his superb communication skills to make it perfectly clear to the Israeli side that, provided the Palestinians also understand that any 1967-type border situation is a total non-starter, further avoidance of the urgent and dire need for a truly viable, relatively just and lasting peace, even if it involves a special set of sub-agreements and subsequent creation of special diplomatic enclaves on both sides for both sides, is tantamount to seriously risking a complex chain of destructive events that would easily lead to a Final Most Horrific Global Security Meltdown and a World War which would not be worth surviving and whose survivors would be very few, if any and who would end up dying shortly thereafter, in the most horrific circumstances! President Obama must make it clear that the further mere perception of Israeli intransigence and significant risk of further extremely violent conflict, regardless of any strategic justification, is rapidly bringing us closer to the brink of total destruction and doom. Israel needs, more than ever, a relatively responsible Palestinian government authority, in charge of a viable Palestinian State, along The Two State Oslo-type solution already agreed to in theory by both sides in previous years, as soon as humanly possible. Not only are we all, the whole world, being held hostage to this failure of the sides to make it clear to their own constituent populations (and to the leaders themselves) that the actual situation risks much more than their direct peace, but the ever-increasing sense of desperation, frustration and subsequent extremist tendencies are beginning to create a situation whereby reaching such an urgently needed peace settlement will become impossible and thus disaster, not just regionally but globally, will become no longer just a possibility but an absolute certainty! Anyone fairly educated and properly informed about this otherwise senseless and tragic conflict, can easily appreciate and understand how much of a disaster it would be if Egypt alone would give up on its tentative peace with Israel and turn into another front for the type of mindset that is prevalent at the top of the current Iranian extreme leadership in Tehran! It should be perfectly clear to those directly involved in making the kind of hard decisions needed that the Gaza War was rapidly turning into a very dangerous spark that would have eventually ignited the entire region, especially posing a threat to the stability of key strategic allies of America and of relative peace, such as Egypt and Jordan, to mention the most important two! Israel has no right to hold the rest of the world hostage to its own internal squabbles and it needs to get its own population majority solidly behind any realistic agreement that would deliver the kind of viable solution towards real peace.
President Barack Obama Can Make It Happen; He’s Probably The Last Chance Hope!
To avoid the kind of tainted situation that has plagued all previous American Presidents involved in trying to bring a lasting peace to The Middle East, between Israel and her neighbors, President Barack Obama must not risk the slightest impression and misperception that we can still wait, if need be, another year or two for the relatively moderate Palestinian Authority and The Israeli government to reach a peaceful settlement agreement! Logic dictates that if there really is any realistic solution to this most urgent and dangerous of conflicts then it can be arrived at within weeks, provided that all parties involved face up to the logical facts as they presently stand! There is absolutely no way President Obama would remain credible enough if he were to get entangled in the kind of on-again, off-again kabuki theatre antics that plagued President Bush! President Barack Obama must use every reasonable tool at his disposal, even if it means risking seeming to be a bit of an alarmist, to get American and world public opinion to fully support the need for the successful and relatively immediate brokering of The Two State Solution envisioned at Oslo and in most tentative agreements arrived at since! Timing is crucial here and any failure to act on time, any failure to exploit the freshness of the moment, will likely risk making the same kind of mass perception and reaction that could easily undo everything! This is not the time to act on the basis of being overly cautious or too impatient! As far I can sense and the way I really see it, based on what I consider to be a very realistic understanding of what is really involved, a meaningful and lasting peace can be arrived at within two to three months, max! NOW is the time to launch a Final Marathon Effort in pursuit of a peace whose benefits would far outweigh any so-called sacrifices that both sides would have to make! NOW is the time to explain, not just to The Palestinians and Arabs and The Israelis, but to the whole world, just what needs to be done, should be done and just what kind of real disaster would easily happen if we do not DO IT ASAP!
The “Yes We Can” mantra of The Obama Presidential Election's Campaign must be turned into the “YES WE MUST” mantra of The Obama Middle East Peace Mission! Another Gaza War, or another Lebanon War over this otherwise senseless and absolutely tragic conflict would kill the chances for peace indefinitely! And INDEFINITELY is TIME we never really had. President Obama, if you’re listening: I know you have what it takes to make this work; TIME TO DO IT NOW!

Peace must not be held hostage to senseless nuances and antiquated notions on the part of either side nor should the need for peace be perpetually ignored and avoided on account of a systemic failure of the international community to make the urgency clear to everybody, or the failure of the Israeli and Palestinian authorities and leaders to properly inform their constituents about what is really at stake here! Any relatively intelligent and knowledgeable person, especially anyone with a serious background in security issues, understands all too well that the time is already long overdue for a peace of the brave and wise, within months, if not sooner!
1967: A Non-Starter
President Obama needs to make it clear to The Palestinians and to the relatively moderate Arab nations most concerned, that the idea of Israel withdrawing to the pre-1967 borders has already, long ago, been shown to be a total and absolute non-starter for any realistic chance of a peace agreement! The Oslo Agreements and all subsequent agreements that were reached before the Camp David negotiations between Prime Minister Ehud Barack and Chairman Yasser Arafat, under the auspices of President Clinton, in 2000, make it perfectly clear that Israel, for very specific and understandable reasons, both logical and hypothetical, cannot agree to withdrawing to borders that existed prior to 1968. Obviously no Israeli political leader would survive long enough to deliver any such 1967-type agreement, such as the one proposed by Saudi Arabia lately, for that would mean an Israel that would actually have no strategic parity with its neighbors should they ever default on any so-called peace treaty, peace settlement agreement!
In fact, it would cause a more dangerous situation to arise, which would easily turn into the very kind of Global Security Meltdown and Final World War conflagration we currently risk facing. True deterrence, in effect prevention of total disaster, is contingent on The Palestinians accepting a situation that does not involve Israel withdrawing exactly to the pre-1968 borders and lines of demarcation. That said, what Oslo and Madrid and all subsequent understandings have basically suggested and offered is a viable, lasting, and relatively just peace involving almost everything that the Saudi Plan would entail, with some very clear exceptions, that, I must stress once more, are totally non-negotiable by any realistic Israeli leader! Most of the issue revolves around the special status of Jerusalem, which in a certain sense and manner will have to remain almost entirely united and part of Israel, with obvious exception to The Old Muslim Quarter, which would itself gain a special, unique, and rather seemingly complex status under a joint Palestinian-Jordanian authority, and which would still be part of a very complex Intra-National and International agreement and arrangement. And there are other relatively minor territories and issues that collectively are major factors in establishing the kind of viable and logically sensible peace arrangement and agreement, whose details I shall not be able to specify in this relatively brief essay.
Further Postponement of Peace: Too Great a Peril To Israel, The Palestinians and World Peace and Stability Itself
President Barack Obama needs to use his superb communication skills to make it perfectly clear to the Israeli side that, provided the Palestinians also understand that any 1967-type border situation is a total non-starter, further avoidance of the urgent and dire need for a truly viable, relatively just and lasting peace, even if it involves a special set of sub-agreements and subsequent creation of special diplomatic enclaves on both sides for both sides, is tantamount to seriously risking a complex chain of destructive events that would easily lead to a Final Most Horrific Global Security Meltdown and a World War which would not be worth surviving and whose survivors would be very few, if any and who would end up dying shortly thereafter, in the most horrific circumstances! President Obama must make it clear that the further mere perception of Israeli intransigence and significant risk of further extremely violent conflict, regardless of any strategic justification, is rapidly bringing us closer to the brink of total destruction and doom. Israel needs, more than ever, a relatively responsible Palestinian government authority, in charge of a viable Palestinian State, along The Two State Oslo-type solution already agreed to in theory by both sides in previous years, as soon as humanly possible. Not only are we all, the whole world, being held hostage to this failure of the sides to make it clear to their own constituent populations (and to the leaders themselves) that the actual situation risks much more than their direct peace, but the ever-increasing sense of desperation, frustration and subsequent extremist tendencies are beginning to create a situation whereby reaching such an urgently needed peace settlement will become impossible and thus disaster, not just regionally but globally, will become no longer just a possibility but an absolute certainty! Anyone fairly educated and properly informed about this otherwise senseless and tragic conflict, can easily appreciate and understand how much of a disaster it would be if Egypt alone would give up on its tentative peace with Israel and turn into another front for the type of mindset that is prevalent at the top of the current Iranian extreme leadership in Tehran! It should be perfectly clear to those directly involved in making the kind of hard decisions needed that the Gaza War was rapidly turning into a very dangerous spark that would have eventually ignited the entire region, especially posing a threat to the stability of key strategic allies of America and of relative peace, such as Egypt and Jordan, to mention the most important two! Israel has no right to hold the rest of the world hostage to its own internal squabbles and it needs to get its own population majority solidly behind any realistic agreement that would deliver the kind of viable solution towards real peace.
President Barack Obama Can Make It Happen; He’s Probably The Last Chance Hope!
To avoid the kind of tainted situation that has plagued all previous American Presidents involved in trying to bring a lasting peace to The Middle East, between Israel and her neighbors, President Barack Obama must not risk the slightest impression and misperception that we can still wait, if need be, another year or two for the relatively moderate Palestinian Authority and The Israeli government to reach a peaceful settlement agreement! Logic dictates that if there really is any realistic solution to this most urgent and dangerous of conflicts then it can be arrived at within weeks, provided that all parties involved face up to the logical facts as they presently stand! There is absolutely no way President Obama would remain credible enough if he were to get entangled in the kind of on-again, off-again kabuki theatre antics that plagued President Bush! President Barack Obama must use every reasonable tool at his disposal, even if it means risking seeming to be a bit of an alarmist, to get American and world public opinion to fully support the need for the successful and relatively immediate brokering of The Two State Solution envisioned at Oslo and in most tentative agreements arrived at since! Timing is crucial here and any failure to act on time, any failure to exploit the freshness of the moment, will likely risk making the same kind of mass perception and reaction that could easily undo everything! This is not the time to act on the basis of being overly cautious or too impatient! As far I can sense and the way I really see it, based on what I consider to be a very realistic understanding of what is really involved, a meaningful and lasting peace can be arrived at within two to three months, max! NOW is the time to launch a Final Marathon Effort in pursuit of a peace whose benefits would far outweigh any so-called sacrifices that both sides would have to make! NOW is the time to explain, not just to The Palestinians and Arabs and The Israelis, but to the whole world, just what needs to be done, should be done and just what kind of real disaster would easily happen if we do not DO IT ASAP!
The “Yes We Can” mantra of The Obama Presidential Election's Campaign must be turned into the “YES WE MUST” mantra of The Obama Middle East Peace Mission! Another Gaza War, or another Lebanon War over this otherwise senseless and absolutely tragic conflict would kill the chances for peace indefinitely! And INDEFINITELY is TIME we never really had. President Obama, if you’re listening: I know you have what it takes to make this work; TIME TO DO IT NOW!

MY PREDICTION WAS RIGHT!!! Mars has life!
THE FOLLOWING IS A REPOST OF A PREVIOUS, EARLIER BLOG-POST, NOTICE THE PART IN BOLD LETTERS!!! MY PREDICTION WAS RIGHT!!!
In some ways 2008 was a year of unprecedented things and overall change towards better times ahead, in other ways it was a year of disappointments and shortcomings!
For me and the world!
The election of Senator Barack Obama to be the next, the 44th, President of The United States of America, was something I was absolute right about! As well as predicting his choice for V.P.: Senator Joe Biden, whom I consider my favorite choice! I was also right about the severe economic crisis, and the fact that we are heading into a Mini-Depression that could, if not dealth with properly, become a Final Economic Collapse, which would obviously lead to a Final Global Geo-Political and Military Mega-Conflict and Total Disaster! I was right about NASA and ESA and other Space Exploration entities finding significant evidence in favor of there being Life elsewhere and in many places throughout The Known Universe! Finding actual frozen Water (H2O)on Mars, finding vast amounts of complex sugars (Carbon-based chemical building blocks of life) throughout parts of our own Galaxy, finding Exo-Planets in great abundancy, and a dramatic increas, once more, in reported UFO spottings, all of which indicates that those who think Life is the exception are simply put: DEAD WRONG! The Known Universe seems to be teaming with Life!
Here is what I foresee for 2009 (the remainder of 5769):
1. Obama's first months of Presidency will be full of sensational near-disasters for him politically, full of controversy, but he will weather it all out magnificently and his public popularity poll rating will remain high!
2. Due to super-vigorous, proper and wise actions taken by The Obama Administration and The E.U. the Global Economic Crisis will begin to come to an end by June, 2009! That said, this good news will not mean much to all those individuals, couples and families who will end up losing almost everything. It will take another 2 years to undo much of the immediate damage caused by Housing Mortgage and Banking Crisis! There will be a significant increase in the Jobless and Homelessness rates and numbers in much of the post-Industrial World!
3. George Soros will convene a major International Summit and Symposia comprised of world leaders in business, government and finance, as well as including the participation of NGOs and private individuals concerned about a wide array of related issues, from Socio-Economic and Investment Ethics to Alternative Energies and Pro-Ecological Businesses. The Summit will include a brief appearance by President Obama. It will take place in Switzerland, as an extension of The Annual Davos Summit. Some major reports will be published and some serious initiatives will be agreed to!
4. Israel and much of The Arab World and the broader Islamic World, excluding Iran and a few other nations, will begin to end their most volatile conflict, as a comprehensive Peace Settlement is reached between Israel and The Palestinian Authority, and between Israel and Syria and Israel and Lebanon! This will take place in late June or by mid-July.
5. The first solid scientific and publically announced evidence for Life Beyond Earth or even a Non-Terrestrial Intelligence will be announced by the end of 2009! And either in late 2009 or early 2010 President Obama will announce some incredibly wonderful new joint NASA-ESA Space Exploration and Space Technologies initiatives and programs! Including the first manned landing on The Moon since the 70s, by six US and EU astronauts, who will set up the first phase construction of a permanent manned Moonbase, the first phase of the construction of a mechanism to protect Earth from threats from Outer space, and a joint Mission to Mars by 2012!
(Jean-Pierre is PROVEN RIGHT AGAIN! I predicted that 2009 will be the year we confirm the existence of Life Beyond Earth! >> SEE www.nasa.gov and latest news on Mars!!!)
) !!!
6. New, powerful and also affordable therapies and treatments and campaigns against AIDS and other STDs and other Major Public Health Concerns will be announced in 2009!
7. A totally new, responsibly progressive liberal Adult Sexual Movement will become popular throughout Europe and The Americas and elsewhere, but will be banned in China, Russia, and India. It will incorporate many of the best aspects of The Hippie Era, The Beatnik Era and post-Marxist-Communalism!
8. President Obama will announce the establishment of a New United Nations Super-Hi-Tech, Ultra-Compact (relative small units), Surgically-Pin-Point-Accurate Strike-Force against Terrorist Groups, Pirates and Human Traffickers/Slavemasters! Fidel Castro, Ahmadinejad and most of al-Qaeda and The Taliban will be gone! Pakistan will split into two distinct parts; one pro-West and pro-Peace, the other (bordering Afghanistan) the opposite! Afghanistan will also split, with the Pakistani-bordering side becoming part of a new psedo-nation that will not be recognized by any of the other nations of world!

NOW HEAR THIS! More Than 79% Chance That The Yellowstone Cauldron Will Erupt As A Supervolcano Within The Next 30 To 60 Days!
January 3, 2009, London, England - The Original New York City Free Advice Man, Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, has had a futureseeing experience, an intuitive sense of a near-future event, in which he senses that The Yellowstone Cauldron has more than a 79% chance of becoming the next Supervolcano within the next 30 to 60 days! The consequences of this event would be cataclysmic for hundreds of millions of people, and yet could also bring about a new paradigm of opportunities for world peace and prosperity!
If nothing of this happens it will not mean that it will not happen sometime later on in the realtively not-to-distant future.
President-Elect Barack H. Obama has been briefed about this and has already put together a mega-crisis management team to deal with its aftermath (this is pure conjecture on the part of The Free Advice Man).
According to The Free Advice Man the melting of glaciers and rising levels of freshwater, subsequent reduction of saltiness in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is causing Tidal factors that change the sources of pressure on Earth's floating Crust and tektonic plates' movement, which dis-settles vulnerable places like Yellowstone!
North Americans from Alaska to Northern Mexico, from the West Coast to the American Heartland of The Mid-West should seriously consider moving to the East Coast. Those who can afford to move to Europe should consider doing so. The world is about to change in ways no one can fully fathom!
Special Disclaimer! There is only an 80% chance of this all happening so do not panic the instant you read this and do your own research (key words: Yellowstone, Seismic Activity, Supervolcano, Cauldron).

Roseanne Barr Is Totally Nuts! Calling Israel a Nazi State is Insane!
Israel may not be a perfect nation, and in many ways it has not been allowed to exist in normal circumstances, by any means, but for Roseanne Barr to call it a Nazi State shows just how little she knows about or understands the dire circumstances that face Israel every single moment! She compared Hamas to two rival and historic L.A. gangs, which is not only offensive to those particular gangs, but is totally absurd! The two gangs in question never teach children to strap on explosives and commit murderous suicidal terrorist attacks, they do not launch missiles into Beverly Hills or into Hollywood, and they certainly do not call for the destruction of Hollywood/Beverly Hills and the annihilation of famous movie stars and celebrities! Hamas hides behind relatively innocent men, women and children, which includes most Gaza Palestinian Arabs, and then launches indiscriminate missile attacks into Israel, even though Israel no longer occupies Gaza! Hamas teaches poor and relatively uneducated people, even young children and young adults, to do the most inhuman thing: to commit suicide attacks! And Hamas, which is serving the interests of fanatic pseudo-Islamic extremists and not the interests of relatively peaceful Palestinian Sunnite-majority Muslims, has attempted to create a situation that, had Israel not acted on time, would certainly have caused even greater numbers of innocent casualties! When Roseanne Barr, who uses her Jewish ancestry to try to give legitimacy to her ill-advised and misinformed opinions, calls Israel a Nazi State, she not only seriously harms efforts at creating a long-term, viable peace in the region, but she endangers the security and safety of millions of people all over the world, Jewish and otherwise, who understand that there is no room for legitimizing terrorism. My reason for writing this is because Wikipedia's entry on this issue is too brief and relatively sterile, compared to the seriousness of the controversy at hand. Celebrities, especially Jewish celebrities, have all the right to criticize excessive actions taken by Israel, but to use their status to help re-enforce public misconceptions should not be met with silence on the part of responsible intellectuals, whether they be Palestinians, Israelis, Jews or Muslims. Wikipedia has a responsibility to report facts and that includes reactions from alternate and opposing sources.
