Re: Financial topics

You know, Raymonde, you may be able to figure this out better than I can. I live far away in Boston, but you're right there in the middle of things in Paris. What do you think is going to happen? Will France and Germany be at war again? Will France and England be at war again? Will Greece and Germa...

Re: Financial topics

I've written many times (mostly in bits and pieces) that in the coming Clash of Civilizations world war, the "allies" will be the United States, India, Russia and Iran, while the "axis" will be China, Pakistan, and the Sunni Muslim countries. What about Europe? Will all European countries align wit...

Re: 31-Jul-15 World View -- 'Swarm' of migrants causing crisis at Eurotunnel from France to Britain

What is especially shocking and disturbing to ordinary French people is that these "migrants" (as they are now called by the media) are far from being penniless or in rags. They are correctly dressed (as seen on the 2 GD photographs), and according to a report recently heard by my son on a national ...

Re: 15-Jul-15 World View -- Arab views of Iran nuclear deal / Generational Dynamics view of Iran nuclear deal

About your readers, could you tell us if they are from many countries around the world? And specifically, the proportion of Europeans among them? Thank you in advance if you can answer my questions.

Unless I am mistaken or the French media and the authorities are lying nobody died in the explosion. But there were 2 injured people.

Re: 14-Feb-15 World View -- Germany commemorates the firebombing of Dresden / Generational Dynamics and prolactin

Yet in 2015, the muslims are the problem. Nearly worldwide. Not the christians, not the communists, not the buddhists, not the hindus...

"When someone tells you that they want to kill you, believe them."

Re: 8-Feb-15 World View -- Iannis Xenakis's work 'Kottos' echoes Greece's Nazi vs Communist struggle

We studied Homer's Iliad, Aeschylus's The Persians, Sophocles's Antigone, and Euripides's Iphigenia in Aulis (all of these in a translation i...
