We
invite the world and the Americans to recall how
Mr Donald Trump foretold, in chilling words and
expressions, about the ‘American Carnage’ from a
podium, from where no one would have thought a
newly elected President of America would speak
in such a way. But he did and the following four
years of his term he did nothing but to show the
world that he was heading to unleash and unfold
that ‘American Carnage’, that built up its
momentum in the last year of his presidency when
he had buried his head, where it had always
been, in a made-up, distorted and distortive
reality-fractures, mythological dung-heap of
‘alternative facts’ and in the quagmires of
concocted conspiracy theories, deep in failing
to see what the coronavirus pandemic was going
to unleash and what its capabilities and powers
were and what it was going to do to America and
its people. He had failed miserably and went
ahead denying science, evidence, reason and
common sense and kept on wasting his energies in
the distorteddia and around golf courses and,
then, he had had an encounter with the virus
where he did not fail to dazzle, shock and
gob-smack Americans and the world with his
conducts, his treatment of others and his
contempt towards science, evidence, reason and
common sense, as well as, to the safely and
value of other people and their lives.
However, he bounced back right onto the
electioneering and pretended that there was no
such thing as the coronavirus pandemic, that it
was not happening, that it was not spreading
across the land like a wild fire, that numbers
of infected were not rising, hospitals were not
getting towards being overwhelmed, the economy
was not being shredded to pieces, business,
commerce and trade were not getting torn away as
tornadoes tear away landmarks, the workers,
their families and communities were not getting
mauled by the illness as they began counting
their dead and they suffer the impacts of the
pandemic on their incomes, jobs, hours of work.
The unemployment kept on going. Along with all
that, ran protests and rights movement, the
Black Lives Matter against law enforcement
brutalities and extra-judicial killings,
tortures and maltreatment of minority
communities of all kinds, including, the
African-Americans and the rampant, institutional
or what the Americans use, structural racism and
with that America and the world witnessed how
the same law enforcement treated that movement
with ‘zeal and vigour’ with far excessive
‘power, prowess and force’, as, if, these
protestors were criminals and they
must be crushed.

The Humanion completes the fifth year and begins its sixth of publication today
as world humanity faces 'the fork' in its journey existential: 'the road, less
travelled' is directing one way and the other, diametrically opposed to the
first, is the road to extinction, enforced and implemented by pseudonomics of
capitalism, that will destroy humanity and all the web and ecology of life on
earth. The current pandemic onslaught on humanity by COVID-19 has added to this
existential imperative further stress and strife, deaths and suffering while the
rich under pseudonomics keep on robbing more and more of the values and worth,
created by world’s working humanity while they keep on getting poorer and suffer
and pay more.
Take a look at the world: while the total death
toll from the pandemic, reaching towards one
million and world’s countries are at various
forms of lockdowns, inflicting untold suffering
to the working and non-working poor humanity,
this is the raw and brutal fact, vast majority
of the countries of the world do not have
universal social security, education, social
and social care services, national health
service or housing. Among the world media of all
forms and types there exists very little in the
way of media and news platforms to bring these
vital and most urgent issues to light: and the
political elites of the world have fallen into a
status-quo quagmire and absolute bankruptcy
whereby they have nothing to offer to humanity
other than maintaining their rotten and rotting
status-quo of pseudonomics while all are
directed and dragged towards extinction.
And while these countries go through the
pandemic and follow lockdowns, ask yourself, how
are these vast number of humanity in these
countries, who have no social security, no other
vital services, including, national health
service, are suffering and how are they
surviving or are they at all? How are they
surviving? How many are dying as consequences to
this sudden disappearance of their livelihoods,
because of the lockdown? How many are dying of
COVID-19 and how many are doing so in various
other dangerous illnesses? How many are going
hungry and suffering malnutrition and all other
illnesses, arising out of that? How many will
have died by the time this pandemic comes to an
end from hunger, malnutrition and suffering from
both treatable and terminal illnesses in
addition to this pandemic because they have no
social security and no national health service,
which does appear remotely anywhere near the
horizon, with highest of optimism? While in the
richer countries, once again, the poor are
paying the price and, while they all are getting
poorer, the money is changing place and the rich
are getting richer by the minute and they will
keep
on doing so.

It
is evident now that the entire ecology of the
theatres, arts, music, community art, festivals
and community development sectors face
unprecedented existential threats due to the
pandemic and what it has done to everything in
society. Everyone can see why and how this has
come about and no one can be in any doubt that
these sectors face existential threats and no
one can see or predict how things will pan out
in the long run. However, until we are able to
sense the future with some clarity and
confidence we are stuck here and now and we are
faced with this sad truth that these most vital
heritage and cultural ecology face existential
threats, which they can not, on their own,
overcome and, we can be, almost, certain that
other than the most established and the largest
of agencies among them, chances are, unless
monumental efforts and initiatives are brought
about to support these sectors, most of these
vital and valuable community endeavours will
come to perish away. This, spiritually looking
at it, would be equivalent to see the ‘heart’ of
community, life and humanity’ being taken out!
What kind of a society and life and what kind of
the quality of humanity we shall become without
these cultural, artistic, musical and community
worlds, feeding and nurturing our souls:
empowering us, illuminating us, enriching us,
challenging us, inspiring us and enhancing and
making us better humanity?
This editorial is to offer some imaginative
ideas and we present those to the wider world
for the perusal and consideration of all those
agencies and organisations in these sectors, all
the professionals, workers, managers and
leaders, involved in running these bodies and
their programmes and those communities and
humanity they serve, as well as, for the central
government and the entire range and layers of
local governments and their leaders and
administrations. Because, unless bold, radical,
imaginative and visionary initiatives are
brought about, which can not and must not be
done by any other bodies other than the central
government, that must lead all other parties,
including, the all these sectors and leaders and
the community, as well as, the local government
associations, all these sectors and all the
agencies and organisations face these
existential threats and vast majority of them
will disappear, making us looking at a cultural
‘Waste Land’, as, if, almost, looking at the
desperate and devastating aftermath of a
cultural and social tsunami, that the pandemic
has inflicted on us, where we can not literally
breathe for the cultural, artistic, spiritual
and social space where we are to do this
breathing does not
exist any longer!

We
publish this research, by the Office for National Statistics:ONS,
published on November 27, 2019 about how many people died in the
winter than the summer. This presents the deaths by sex, age,
region and cause of death. According to this, there were an
estimated 23,200 excess winter deaths, which occurred in England and
Wales in the 2018 to 2019 winter, the lowest since the winter of
2013 to 2014. According
to John Hopkins University run Centre for Systems Science and
Engineering:CSSE the UK COVID-19 deaths have reached 36:
coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html.
People do not
blink about the total excess winter deaths of 23,200 a year in
England and Wales while COVID-19, that has so far caused 36 deaths,
all of which are terribly sad and regrettable, however, it is
creating a sense of absolute fear, reaching, almost, to a public
hysteria, causing infinite anxiety and worry and creating the
resultant response and reaction of panic buying etc. COVID-19 is
spreading everywhere, true but, so has the influenza or flu virus
across the world. COVID-19 has, probably, a slightly higher
mortality rate than the flu virus but both are equally aggressive to
the same vulnerable groups of people, who are elderly and have
multiple health conditions, that make them vulnerable.
The country
and, the world for that matter, needs leadership desperately. It is
vital that we keep our approach within the bounds of reason,
perspective and a sense of proportion and we keep on going as best
as we can with keeping our humanity, civility and character intact.
Virus or not, we still remain human and we still exist in families,
networks of families, communities, where agencies and organisations
work and serve us in our civic society. A virus can not, should and
must not be let to dictate, direct and devastate our very humanity,
which is what happens when we abandon reason, science and evidence;
it must not force us to be anything other than what we are:
humanity, members of a civic society, that exists by reason,
evidence, science and common sense, as well as, the framework
rationality, sense of perspective and proportion. And, above all
else, with, by and in humanity.
The UK is
lacking that leadership and in this a whole ‘wild machine of
fear-mongering’ has taken a life of its own, spreading the fear far
and wide. The Corona Virus is a pathogen, that, going by the
evidence and science so far, appears aggressive to the same groups
of vulnerable people, who get the similar aggressiveness from the
flu virus. The rational approach and response, therefore, should be
to allocate, prioritise, focus, target and direct resources towards
ensuring these vulnerable groups are protected the best ways
possible. So far, the UK government has failed to show any
leadership and its talking of ‘herd immunity’ is nothing but
nonsensical polemics. The vulnerable groups must get the protection
at this time and everything must be done to ensure that is the case.
Instead of letting fear, paranoia and hysteria keep on going and
spreading to create, almost, a dystopian social environment, that is
absolutely unhealthy and dangerous to natural public, communal
and social life.

Sunday: March 08: The World
Woman's Day 2020
|| ά.
The following is
‘Open Lecture: The Climate Sustainable Welfare Society: Is It the
Model of the Future’, given by Ms Sanna Marin, the Prime Minister of
Finland, at the Columbia University, New York, on March, 06: We
publish this in our Editorial with the following introduction, in
celebration of the World’s Woman’s Day 2020, particularly, for the
fact that Ms Sanna Marin herself is a leading woman, a mother and a
young leader, who comes from a country, that proudly stands ahead of
the whole world, in terms of how close it has reached in getting
equality between women and men in all spheres of society; however,
in terms of the wider world and, even, Finland, the work of equality
has barely begun and, much, much, far too much, there is yet to be
done and achieved. So long there goes, lawfully, poverty-wage,
poverty-social security, poverty-benefits and the myriad of other
devastating expressions of poverty in all spheres of existence, that
capitalism’s poverty paradigm creates, maintains, distributes and
enforces to the vast majority of workers, women and men, the
political fight for equality, so to get to liberty, must go on until
we have reached that shore, where all humanity stand on the ground
of liberty, simply, because they have achieved equality, which frees
them into liberty. That means there no longer exist two opposing
camps among humans, the powerfuls and the powerless but, one
humanity at liberty in equality.
There can not be
any equality until that equality corresponds to equality and liberty
for all, women and men, in these areas of life: philosophical,
political philosophical, political economical, political,
socio-cultural, sociological, educational, public affairs
management, jurisprudential, cultural and socio-ecological, in all
of which, there must come to exist verifiable, demonstrable,
measurable, concrete and legally enforceable expressions of that
equality by which humanity’s, both women’s and men’s, liberty,
empowerment, enfranchisement, engagement, participation,
involvement, connection and ownership can be measured. One, most
fundamental of it all, is that there comes to exist the humanical
building-block foundational human rights, including, the right to
universal income for all citizens, eradicating the massive waste and
desperate bureaucracy and the ignominy and degradation of humanity
by the so-called social security or benefits and pensions, right to
nutritionally balanced food and drink, right to degree-level
education and life-long learning, right to a job, absolute right to
an absolute home among many other such rights so that equality can
be measured and liberty can be seen and shown as existing in all the
spheres of existence.
Ms
Marin is the youngest Prime Minister in the world and one can hear
that youthful vibrancy, faith, hope, conviction, determination and
resolution that says that we can ‘seek to try: to do: to change: to
make better the human condition’. Because, if, we fail, the entire
web and ecology of life on earth, including, the whole of the human
race, face definitive extinction. There can not be any
sustainability until and unless we take the view that sustainability
comes as philosophical, political philosophical, political
economical, ethical, moral, sociological, educational,
jurisprudential, socio-cultural and ecological and humanical
spiritual so that we are able to create a sustainable ‘architecture’
of existence in a clean, green, circular and sustainable political
economics, that underpins all forms and expressions of
sustainability, just mentioned and when such an ‘architecture’
exists within the Larin Paraske Maxim or Oath: Do No Harm to Anyone
or Anything: the last two words signify all sustainability: all
things and all living forms must have equitable status in the sphere
of all existence or all life on earth, with an emphasis on the
Universana. Because humanity does not just exist on earth but it
does so in the Sunnara, in the Home Bay of the Milky Way Galaxy in
the vast expanse of the Universe,
our home Universana.

A monthly average of 11,500 people, travelling from the Horn of
Africa to Yemen last year, made the so-called Eastern Route the
busiest maritime migration path on earth, according to the
International Organisation for Migration:IOM. The Agency states that
most are unaware of the security situation in Yemen where they face
serious protection concerns, including, active fighting or abuses,
such as, kidnapping, torture for ransom, exploitation and
trafficking.
This very fact that, despite the war and conflicts going on in Yemen
for many years, people are using this route to get out of their
places of origin and getting in the war-torn country, where people
are far more desperate than the ones coming to them, goes to show
how desperate people are attempting to escape their reality, that
they find and see as ‘the trap’. It does not matter what awaits on
route or wherever they end up, these desperate humanity are not
thinking of that but seeking to escape that ‘trap’, that forces them
to seek to escape. However, for many, that ends up creating
tragedies and will continue to do so. And the world keeps on
ignoring and looking away. Every now and than, agencies, like IOM,
presents statistics and, well, everybody says, ‘’Tragic! What a
waste of human lives!’’ Etc! Etc and everyone moves on! Though,
tragic it is and it ought to be responded to properly as humanity
should and ought to do: humanity of this world.
The world can not keep on looking away. It can not keep on ignoring
these vital problems. There are many places, hundreds of them, on
earth, where conflicts, violence, war and general falling apart of
state and government infrastructures means that for people there’s
no security, there’s no safety nor there is hope of seeing things
ever getting better or that they will be able to get a living for
their families. Lawlessness, inter-communal conflicts, religious
tensions and hatred, gangs, drug curtails, violence and injury and
deaths add to that sense of desperation and fuels this drive to try
and ‘escape’ the ‘trap’. ‘Violent and chronic’ poverty is one of the
determining factors in a great number of places, from where people
are being ‘driven’ outward to seek, search, find and achieve simply
‘bread’.

Tuesday: February 11: 2020: Sir
Robert Watson Writing

At the first Earth Day 50 years ago, crowds of protestors across the
United States held up signs calling for the world to “Save the
Whales.” Much has changed since then, but one thing has remained
clear: Whales are crucial parts of the planet’s carbon cycle and
ecosystem engineering.
So, isn’t it time to demand that our leaders commit to fully
protecting these magnificent species?
Covering 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is the
keystone to life on our planet. The ocean provides services that
support communities around the globe. Our world’s oceans not only
provide resources for food and livelihoods but also regulate climate
and produce about
80 percent of the planet’s oxygen.
By now, the world is familiar with the havoc that climate change
wreaks on our oceans. Warming waters, acidification and sea level
rise all threaten the survival of the species, ecosystems and
infrastructure that support our planet.
Recently, scientists and policymakers have begun to understand how
the oceans can contribute solutions to climate change. As some of
the largest species on the planet, whales can make
a significant contribution.
