I'm thinking 🤔 of saying goodbye writing ✍🏼 on the blogs ...
Am 80 going on 81 ...
enough is enough .. passing the torch to a new generation .. I'll try to keep it brief ... too much grief and human suffering ...
It has been very inspirational and well-being to keep sanity in a world 🌎 of turmoil ... I have been in survival mode for 65 years now ... roof of my house 🏡 needs repairs 😉 ... it's cold 🥶 inside w need for green sustainability ... rising energy prices going through the roof .. lots to keep me busy ...
Saying goodbye 👋 after 22 years of blogging in a welcoming community ... thank you 🙏🏼
Spend 35 years as volunteer for teenage youth in The Hague ... quite satisfying and was able to make a difference for many 😊 too many honors 😅
Was a war refugee with a green card after the devastations by Nazi Germany in WWII and occupation of the Netherlands '40-'45
Decided to return to a tranquil Europe in late sixties as a refugee fleeing a nation in fear and gun violence with no empathy for the less fortunate fellow citizens ... civics and religious lessons build on my caring parents ... my mom taught me love 💕 and protection for children ... my dad was tough and a global traveler interested in world 🌍 politics ...
Greatly appreciated all who kept this blog alive and running ... passing the torch to a new generation involved in building a new world suitable for young people with NEW HOPE ... so much to do 💪 God's speed to all.
I suppose J. my closing words have been written down now ... 🐝

The 2nd week of the U.S.-Israeli Attack On the Islamic Republic of Iran
Trump-Netanyahu’s ‘war in search of a strategy’ | Al Jazeera – Listening Post |
An illegal war, two leaders in cahoots and media outlets struggling to meet the moment.
One week into the United States and Israel’s war on Iran, and the messaging coming from the White House is consistently chaotic and contradictory. From regime change and nuclear threat to pre-emptive attack – the Trump administration is struggling to juggle its narrative. And while the mainstream media is working overtime to legitimise the Trump-Netanyahu war at home, Americans remain unconvinced.

Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said the response followed aggression originating from the Naval Support Activity Bahrain, which is a United States Navy base that serves as the home to US Naval Forces Central Command and United States Fifth Fleet.
"In response to the aggression by American terrorists from the Juffair base against the Qeshm desalination facility, that American base was immediately struck by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) using precision solid-fuel missiles,” he noted.
The official described the strike as a direct response to the attack on the facility located on Qeshm Island.
