More people need to be like Iranian president Hassan Rouhani


Everybody in America and Israel know the "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" chants that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his predecessor popularized.  Much lesser known (and seemingly withheld) is the information that Hassan Rouhani is a liberal figure...at least in the Iranian context.  And he got voted in.

Hassan Rouhani's 2015 tweet is at the bottom, and in 2013, he also tweeted "As the sun is about to set here in #Tehran I wish all Jews, especially Iranian Jews, a blessed Rosh Hashanah."  Hassan Rouhani is a character who wants peace.  This makes him a better leader than some even in the United States...including some at the recent Republican presidential debate.  Some people don't want peace, and want to continue a grudge forever.

Those who don't want peace include all kinds of people, ranging from other Iranians to Israelis to Americans to people in every other country around the globe.  We have to neutralize their influence.  Many ridiculed Rouhani and said that they don't believe his sincerity because his country wants Israel to be destroyed.  But what that does is cause more division and it does not defuse the situation.  Saying "Thank you" or just keeping your mouth shut (or fingers off the keyboard) do a lot more to help the world.  Sure, Iran has problems, but remember that Rouhani is not the all-powerful dictator.  He is the president who is still under the "Supreme Leader".  For him to even go this far is sticking his neck out and asking for trouble at home.  But he had the courage to try to bring the world together, so I hope that random internet commenters acknowledge that.  I mean, for me, I don't even share Abrahamic roots.  For all I know, Rouhani thinks that I will burn in Hell forever when I die.  I don't know that, but it is possible.  Yet even I see his genuine effort to make the world a more peaceful place, and in the end, that is what matters.

Here is an article about this:

2020 Was (Will Be) An Inside Job

My Election Prediction: Trump will lose. I think that the collusion of corporate media with big tech is too powerful for the minds of regular people to resist. The propaganda was non-stop, and enough people have fallen for it. I think that without the censorship, and with a modicum of objectivity in the media, Trump would win. Sure, people have their own reasons for supporting both Trump and Biden (= not Trump). Some of those reasons on both sides are sound. But a decent percentage of people are mindless consumers of propaganda, and these people will ultimately decide the election. 2016 shocked the deep state and their corporate overlords, but since their stunning loss, they made sure to do everything in their power so as not to suffer a similar defeat this time. They covered all of their bases, along with the mouths of those whose speech they feared. Meanwhile, Americans as a group no longer really care about the freedom of speech, and many are lukewarm on the idea of America ...

Photo-Realistic Video Game Graphics Have Arrived!

This is actual gameplay of "Unrecord", a video game that it set to be released in the future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qvVNzsJyB0 It's the most photo-realistic game I've ever seen! It looks like it's actually from the body-cam of a police officer. It's not the most beautiful game I've seen, but real body-cam footage isn't. There's no amazing sky because in these videos, the sky is often just blown-out white. Yet doing that in itself is quite incredible! Sometimes, "photo-realism" isn't what one would expect. You have to actually inspect real videos to see their characteristics and then translate that to a video game. They've done a nearly perfect job of it. By the way, there is also a racing game that has already been released, which I heard about just after viewing this Unrecord clip. That game is called "Ride 4", and below is a link to that. Again, it's not the most beautiful game. It's pretty...

Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...
