lie, lie, the lie....
All is lie in this world
All is lie the truth
All is lie I said to myself
All is lie. why it is so



طريــق الســعادة

لا تصلح المحبّة بين اثنين حتّى يقول أحدهما للآخر يا أنا - السرّي السّقطي

From top to bottom - minus the rhyming:
Volodya was kissing Nastya, talking about happiness, but all she wanted to know was how much money he was making” – criticizes gold-diggers;

Flying for an hour, landing is fast but it takes all day to get home from the airport”  – criticizes slow airport transportation.

Fedot is always sending people to his boss to get the answers, but if the boss has all the answers, why do we need Fedot” – criticizes indecisive management.

When the fight was going on there was a crowd watching, but when it came to filling out a report, there were no 
witnesses” – no snitching?

Kiaps -  history 
link 

Australian Patrol Officers, or 'Kiaps', played a major role in the post-war development of New Guinea. Their role commenced in the uncertain days following World War 11 when the Trust Territory of New Guinea and the Australian Territory of Papua came under the joint administraion of Australia, and it continued through to 1975 with the proud independence of the new nation of Papua New Guinea
 

أفضل وصف للحرب الاهلية من قبل ديكنسون

that civil war described by Emily Dickinson when she wrote


I felt a cleaving in my mind
As if my brain had split
I tried to match it seam by seam
But could not make it fit


اقتبسوا رواية ديكنز الامال الكبيرة 1860- 1861 واسقاطها على الحرب الاهلية هنا في افريقيا
المتعلقة في الطفل اليتيم الذ ينشأ ووسط الحرب الاهلية وحتى بلوغه ومحاولته لإدراك النبل أثناء مسيرته

تشارلز ديكنز آمال عظيمة كنصه الوحيد في تعليم الأطفال، ومع تعلق الأطفال بالكتاب وبه تنشأ صدامات أولا بينه وبين بعض الأمهات ثم، وهو الأخطر، مع القوات الحكومية التي تتعقب الثوار .

أغلب الأحداث السياسية ووصفه للعنف كالأحداث المأساوية للتعذيب والاغتصاب والتشويه، مبني علي أحداث حقيقية سمعها جونز أثناء عمله صحفيا يقوم بعمل تحقيق الحرب التي دارت بين حكومة بابوا غينيا الجديدة وثوار جزيرة بوجاينفيل المطالبين بالاستقلال ودامت عشر سنوات

السنوات السوداء – الخمسينيات ......

In 1952, native females were again on the Director’s mind. His memorandum of 15 August, addressed to “all members of District Services and Native Affairs field staff” stated

Reports reaching me recently, indicate that is timely to
make it quite clear that it is contrary to administration policy for officers
to have sexual relations with native women, and that disciplinary action, with
a view to dismissal from the service, will be taken against any officer so
offending. ... I regret that the actions of a few have made the issue of this
general warning necessary. … An officer who is guilty of either of these
actions is unfit to remain in the Service

I am deeply concerned to think that the offence should
have been treated as a minor one … It should have been dealt with … as a
serious offence no matter what extenuating circumstances may have existed … I
cannot accept “lack of amenity and company” on an isolated station as a factor
of mitigation. … I [have] issued instructions … that in all cases of this
nature and under any circumstances the offence will be treated as a serious
offence

soliloquy


مناجـــاة النفـــس


The Incredible Shrinking Man 1957
Screenwriter(s): Richard Matheson

I Still Exist!" Speech

Scott Carey's (Grant Williams) final narrated soliloquy as he shrank out of sight, but realized that he was still important in the scheme of the universe

I was continuing to shrink, to become... what? The infinitesimal? What was I? Still a human being? Or was I the man of the future? If there were other bursts of radiation, other clouds drifting across seas and continents, would other beings follow me into this vast new world? So close - the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept. The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet - like the closing of a gigantic circle. I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spread across the night. And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite. I had thought in terms of Man's own limited dimension. I had presumed upon nature. That existence begins and ends is man's conception, not nature's. And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing. My fears melted away and in their place came acceptance. All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something. And then I meant something, too. Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too. To God, there is no zero. I STILL EXIST

This tribe called “Women of Color” is not an ethnicity. It is one of the inventions of solidarity, an alliance, a political necessity that is not the given name of every female with dark skin and a colonized tongue, but rather a choice about how to resist and with whom

  Aurora Levins Morales, My Name is This Story from Telling to Live Latina Feminist Testimonios

تميز مشاعر الدونية بشكل عام موقف الإنسان المقهور من الوجود. فهو يعيش حالة عجز إزاء قوى الطبيعة، وإزاء قوة السلطة على مختلف أشكالها. سرعان ما يتخلى عن المجابهة منسحبا أو مستسلما أو متجنبا، إما طلبا للسلامة وخوفا من سوء العاقبة، أو يأسا من إمكانية الظفر والتصدي.فقدان الثقة هذا يعمم منه على كل الآخرين أمثاله. فبفقد الثقة في الجماهير. مما يلقي به في الاتكالية على منقذ منتظر بشكل سحري. صورة هذا المنقذ هي على العكس تماما من صورته عن ذاته. ومن البديهي أن ذلك الموقف يهيئ هذه الجماهير إلى التعلق بالزعيم الفرد، تعلقا يغري بالتسلط والديكتاتورية، تحت شعار إنقاذ الوطن”
