Wake Up Now

 

The world around you has changed, it has changed fundamentally. We haven't yet come out of the pandemic and now Putin's  war on Ukraine is taking effect. I am sure that you are numb from hearing the bad news and like climate change you just can't be bothered. Maybe you feel powerless and don't know what to do. Maybe you can't be bothered.

 

Our world as in crisis and the only leadership that is affecting us all is the total madness of Putin. In the western world, leaders are not taking on the issues and seem content to shout from the side-lines. So what is the most important issue? We are in the beginning of a global food crisis, triggered by the war in Ukraine, which followed the peak of the on going pandemic within the window for climate change avoidance measures. We are all going to see our world change and change badly for the worse. Millions of people will die. The disastrous effect of war in Ukraine will remove a large contribution of wheat and sunflower oil from the market and continue the rise in fuel prices. This will destabilise my world and  damages your comfortable world. For many people it will be life threatening.

 

So the small mind of Putin, driven by a nostalgic lust for the power of the past has touched us all and now threatens the lives of many people. He will be remembered in history on the same list as Hitler and Stalin; a man who attempted to rekindle the past has destroyed the future for Russia and robbed Russians of the constructive role in building a modern peaceful world.

 

So what is this to you? Why should you care? You should wake up now because the war in Ukraine will effect your life and the lives of everyone on earth. You should be angry at the insult to everything that humans are trying to achieve - peace and hope for the world. You should be upset by this action to destroy a peaceful country on the basis of lies and disinformation. Putin has destroyed his political opposition and suppressed his own people. World leaders have been ineffective and watch while Ukraine defends itself and Russia destroys their cities, just as it did in Syria. Furthermore, Russia has blocked the international access to Ukraine ports, stopping the flow of food to the world.
 

Wake up and protest against this war. Stop Putin's war. Do not stand by and do nothing. Every voice is important to keep the pressure on to keep the light on the issue.

 

Help me to do this. I am only a man, disabled by a broken neck, voiceless but I can write on a pc. Help me to fight for our common humanity - share this or write your own - just do something.

 

Wake up now!

 

Stop Putin's war

When you look out the window at the world around you, pause, and contemplate what you see. The world may be just the same as it was a few hundred years ago, trees, soil and sky. Aside from modern structures mostly things haven't changed.. You could go back 200 years or more and see something similar. The most amazing and earth shattering comprehension is how much we now know and understand about our world.

 

We understand how plants grow, how substances are made up of basic atoms and even how atoms are made up of sub-atomic particles. We can look at the faintest objects in the sky and see the earliest light. We now know that there are billions of stars in our galaxy but within the universe there are billions of galaxies just like our own each with billions of stars..

 

When I was a boy transistors, the basic build block of electronics today, were something large enough to hold in your hand. Today our knowledge and and ability allows us to put 100 million transistors onto a tiny chip - the basis of mobile phones.

We now know and understand so much more than ever before. What we see out through the window is a world that science has opened to our eyes. The beauty and wonder is poignant with the understanding of the fragility of it all.

 

This is not the time to be killing and fighting but a time to realise our place in time and space as a special thing for all of us to live in.

Stop Putin's war
