About dictators

A dictator is that who dictates. Dictators actually can be elected by the people. In the Roman republic was usual to assign a dictator to 'fix' some political or economical problems. A famous one is Sulla, whom ended up being a terrible and bloody tyrant and he was actually elected by the Senate to break a political stalemate and he created for the purpose the 'conscription's' which meant nothing but a list of political enemies to
'eliminate'. Another good one, and in the whole sense of the wording was Cincinatus, who actually gave back the power invested on him, as soon as the problem was fixed. Hence the name of the city of Cincinnati, OH, honoring the soldiers of George Washington who upon completion of the American revolution, gave back the control and power granted to them.
In our times of course, the idea keeps arising and it does not to be coup or anything as such to produce a dictator, only an smart guy that upon given by the people the power to control them, he/she exceeds the functions to become a dictator. These guys usually stick to the power and don't let ti go, because of the amount of corruption their unsolicited 'assistance' to the people, produced and so, he/she, build a circle fo friends or elites to surround hi/her and perpetuate his/her tenure of control and power over the people. The examples in the XXI century are many and some close enough to make us wonder how free we really are.

  A note to Helena Jaczek, MP from Markham. There must be serious worries that an election will happen very soon rather than later. Thanks God for His infinite mercy. Our people is suffering long enough under the yoke of the Liberal/NDP coalition. Since all the destruction you fostered and promoted, yes, you included. Or you think for a moment we are going to see you somewhere outside the circle of death that suffocates Canada?  Oh! But you are focused on Ukraine, and the pandemic ad what else, of course, the climate change, all of which are secondary to the freedom the people needs to enjoy, because God created us all, each and everyone of us free, with free will and with the ability to think, grow and prosper on our own, all suppressed by your government. Have you ever for a moment stopped to think about the suffering of the people?  Now you want to display yourself as a hard working individual ready to work… Is not that a bit, no, a lot, hypocritical? Oops. Are you off...

Thoughts about fear and faith

  Heretic heralds or heralds of the heretic. What is it? How did we get here? Somehow at some point in relative recent history, the world has been transformed to be a vehicle of fear. Fear has been instituted as the motive of human existence. Forgetting what we are and where we proceed from, and even the truth, the foundation of justice, we’ve been transformed onto irrational animals following ignorance, deception and confusion, stampeding at the existence of any noise, anyone whom without concept or science behind, just tell us to go to destruction and we obey, without questioning or even thinking or reflexion.  God, the one and only living One, our creator, to His image and likeness, since day one, when man ad woman were created, has been looking for us, individually and as a group, always revealing to us, putting before us evidence with clarity. And we have just drifted away from Him pushed or inspired by our own selfishness and ambitions, our greed, since that time describ...

Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife

Gospel text ( Mathew 1,16.18-21.24a): Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and from her came Jesus who is called the Christ ­—the Messiah. This is how Jesus Christ was born. Mary his mother had been given to Joseph in marriage but before they lived together, she was found to be preg­nant through the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her husband, made plans to divorce her in all secrecy. He was an upright man, and in no way did he want to discredit her. While he was pondering over this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, «Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. She has conceived by the Holy Spirit, and now she will bear a son. You shall call him “Jesus” for he will save his people from their sins». When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do and he took his wife to his home.
