The Two Assassinated American Presidents Overlooked by History

Ship of Dreams
On 10 April 1912, when the largest ocean liner in service at that time, RMS Titanic, started its maiden voyage from Southampton, it was a new beginning in history. With at least 2,224 people on board, including a number of prominent personalities, the luxury ship that was nicknamed ‘Millionaire’s Special’ was en route to New York City on that day.

The Psychology of Assassins
Since the beginning of time, there are numerous instances of autocracies, psychological militants, and war crooks going after destinations of social legacy trying to all the more rapidly vanquish social orders and delete their social personalities. For instance, the conscious ethnic purifying and obliteration of libraries and galleries during the Bosnian conflict; the Taliban annihilating Buddhist legacy antiques of Afghanistan; ISIS going after significant strict locales and landmarks in Syria and Iraq. Each of these is a work to eradicate a remarkable social legacy and destroy any indications of multiculturalism.

When US researchers warned of the predominance of Russia in Ukraine!
Many commentators are still promoting the idea that the Ukraine war is a “plot” and a “trap” created by America to target Russia, and that it is a well-prepared “plan” prepared by the West for Moscow, recalling the incident of Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, despite the great difference between the two cases, as if Russia had fallen into a war Ukraine suddenly, and not a crisis that has been rolling like a snowball since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Moscow considers it a source of threat to its national security, if it approaches NATO and the West, and it is clear that Putin when he entered this war was prepared to a large extent for all the consequences, and his assessments of non-military intervention The Western sanctions were correct, so the Kremlin made this decision of its own free will and was not deceived by it.

We and Gorky!
Yes, I said, after I finished reading Maxim Gorky's childhood (1868-1936), if this man had lived a thousand years and more, life would not have ended his sins, faults, and cruelty to him, because it placed obstacles in front of him that crush rocks or uproot oak trees from His roots, and I said that he was right in writing his biography, and he remembers the details of the details of his childhood life that he lived through oppression, pain and screaming in the face of the world that turned his back on him when his father left, and when his mother left in a world he called the world of confusion and unconsciousness, the world of other couples! You have a solution for me to consider Maxim Gorky as one of the Palestinian family, because his childhood resembles the childhood of the Palestinians in its loud cries in the face of this blind, deaf, dumb world. He finds it in his heart, nor in his assembly, nor in his speech, nor even in his games with his peers in the street, and I also said, that Gorky's life is all a hard childhood, like the life of Palestinian children, which is all a hard childhood, filled with loss, crying, sorrows and dreams that do not become facts. He used to fall asleep to drink water from a clean cup, eat a moonlit loaf near an oven, eat food and drink without worries or questions, or spend what he got from a few (kopeks) without thinking about the painful end, which are usually questions Painful, severe whipping, and he went to the priest in the church to kneel in front of him, and the priest throws his velvet rag over his head to confess what afflicted him.. that he threw a stone towards the neighbors window, but the stone did not reach the window, and the glass did not break, or that he was a thief of what was left of the bread Grandma because he is hungry.

When some Arabs support the invasion of Ukraine
This happened in the summer of 1990. Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait at the dawn of August 2, and President Saddam Hussein made a series of statements stressing the centrality of the Palestinian cause, in a strong criticism of the world's handling of it other than what it does with its invasion of its southern neighbor. .

The Kaiser shuffles the cards
Between the blatant and declared incitement from the West, led by America, against the Russian Federation, and the insistence on misleading world public opinion, and convincing it that the Russian leadership had set the zero hour to declare war and storm the peaceful neighbor Ukraine, and beat the drums at an accelerating pace, the Russian leader took dramatic steps towards the Ukrainian neighbor, and mixed Papers in the territory and equations with the West and without the invasion of the neighbor or the firing of artillery. The Kremlin leadership had announced a thousand times its initial rejection of the option of war, not putting gunpowder on its agenda, not thinking about it, and not considering it unless it was imposed on it, then for every modern incident. However, the Anglo-Saxon West, and with it the Francophone, continued their false campaign to plunge Russia into the cycle of war, with the aim of weakening the countries of the tsars, returning it to the post-Soviet era, and depriving it of its share in the world cake as a central pole in international politics, not only that, and keeping it in the circle of the West in general. And America Almkhnknha wounds in particular.

Who Beats the Drums of War
Certainly no sane person on the face of the earth would desire, or call for, war in Eastern Europe; Because such a war means the real manifestation of the Third World War with all its manifestations, which will not stop at the borders of Russia, Ukraine, and will not stop at the borders of Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, but will include Western and Eastern Europe and the United States, as well as the involvement of other countries of the world openly and covertly; Because the world actually entered, not in words, the process of redistributing influence on its economic, security and geopolitical cake. Consequently, its repercussions on humanity will be more calamitous and devastation, because it will take the lives of tens of millions of people, and necessarily exceed the number of seventy million people, who fell in the Second World War, in addition to the unprecedented destruction of various countries in the world.

Absence of the Concept of the Modern State
I do not know why the Westerners were quick to call the uprisings that took place in the Arab world the revolutions of the Arab Spring. Spring is the season of roses, greenness and prosperity. Was the Westerners expecting real prosperity in the Arab world while they are the ones who support most regimes and know their truth? What is important to us is the question why did the change not happen? It is a question that recurs in the minds of many intellectuals who see the change of regimes in some Arab countries, but they do not see a fundamental change in the nature of oppressive and tyrannical regimes. The Arab, as it should be the beginning of the fifties of the last century when the Egyptian army seized power after overthrowing the regime of King Farouk, which was not an arbitrary regime in my view.

Portugal’s cosmopolitan essence
Portugal's cosmopolitan nature and the historic center of the Centro region collide with Aveiro, a coastal area famous for art nouveau architecture, fishing traditions, and waterways — a striking resemblance to Venice. Some canals and beaches make the city postcards famous, but beyond the famous attractions, there is the Silver Coast with beaches of Barra and Costa Nova that seem endless. If you go farther, there are marshland trails ready for cycling, which is the true Aveiro style, which is the best way to get around town.
