Welcome
to our article,
Dear
readers, we are continuing to write our diary, I know that it
would be better if I write one each month, so that I can have a
continuous record, but sometimes is not possible, so, there are things
that will be left unsaid, because if I do not write them, I may not remember
them.
Anyhow,
this is the month of May 2021, and in Australia is when the federal budget is
published, so, everybody is waiting to see, what is in for me, but there is not much to say.
The Australian budget
Tuesday the 11th of May 2021 was Australia budget day, the budget this year is a spending budget for the government, so, they are spending a lot of money otherwise the economy will run down. I believe that is good news, at least it seems to be good, even if the budget has a big deficit.
Anyhow, there was nothing new, things are just the same as before, perhaps that is the only way possible this year. So, we must wait for next year or the year after that for real new policies in favor or against, our own personal expectations.
This is how it was reported on the Internet, (and I quote)
The Australian taxpayer (eventually) The 2021 Budget delivered extremely positive news – Australia escaped the brunt of COVID far better than the economists predicted – but we are still in debt. In 2021-22, the underlying cash balance is expected to be a deficit of $106.6 billion. (End of quote)
Anyhow, I have waited a couple of weeks to see if anybody had things to say about the budget, but people keep quiet and do not say much, this is unusual because people always say things about the budget. I believe it is the sign of the times, unusual times unusual reaction of the people.
------------------
Now, let us compare what we wrote in our last article.
-One:
We talked about the interview of Oprah Winfrey, with Meghan Markle and Prince
Harry that is upsetting the royal family in England. At the beginning it was
upsetting, and a lot of people thought that something could happen, however it
has calmed down a fair bit, so, as time goes by it soon will be just something
that happened.
-Two: The good news in the month of March 2021 is pope Francis visit to Iraq, now, we can say that this is good news, since the pope visit can bring good result in the future; you see, when the religious leaders of different religions get together, it has the potential to change the views of their followers. Will the pope succeed in what he wants to do? We just must wait and see, if what he is doing will continue and one day religions can amalgamate.
-Three: after a while, the Italian have
another government, and the prime minister is Mario Draghi, there will be other changes, with Mario Draghi as prime minister, they can look at how to
finance whatever needs to be financed in Italy, to get Italy working again, and
to control the corona virus.
Today
apart what we have said above, the world problems continue to be mostly as they
were two months ago, the corona virus pandemic continues with variant.
Now,
let us see, what is changed about the corona virus pandemic.
Anyhow,
what we can tell you today 29th of May 2021 is that the COVID19
continues;
In
the world there are and have been, over 169,000,000 confirmed case positive,
and 3,513,000 deaths.
In
the USA has gone up to 33,400,000 positive and 599,000 deaths.
Brazil
16,000,000 positive and 450,000 deaths.
India
27,000,000 positive 332,000 deaths.
UK
4,440,000 positive 127,000 deaths.
Italy
4,200,000 positive, 125,000 deaths.
Again,
here looks like that Italy has been hit hard from this virus, and every time I
look at the Italian news there are more people sick. I hope that it will
improve soon, since they have started vaccinating everywhere.
This
pandemic has created many problems, and even though the vaccine has been made
and is being used, it will take a long time for things to go back to normal; it
also seems that there might be a problem with the vaccine, so, some people may
refuse to be vaccinated.
Now,
let us talk about the Australian budget, the world political scene and America
withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the war in Israel.
----------------------------------
Looking at the world political scene.
Italy
has a new government, and Mario Draghi is the prime minister. Things have not
changed much in Italy with this new prime minister, since he does the same
things that Giuseppe Conte did, but people do not say much, because they want
to wait and see first. The only thing I can say is that they are more organized
with the vaccine injections.
What
America, President Joe Biden is doing okay. He said that he would vaccinate a
lot of people quickly, and he got more people vaccinated than he promised in
his first 100 days in office; however, he seems a bit slower than President
Trump on other things. Today he wants to withdraw all American soldiers from
Afghanistan, which sounds great, but there seems to be a problem in doing that,
because he has no policy how to withdraw his solders and still protect those
people that helped the American when they were there. This can be mostly
interpreters and their families, that will be left in danger of being killed
from the Taliban’s. I believe that before the solders leave, it would be good
if they can take with them to America those people that have helped them.
Anyhow, the Americans will withdraw by September 11th, so, there is
still time to organize that. Anyhow I hope they do.
Australia
seems to have upset the Chinese government, and there is some tension, about
dealing with them, they may not want to buy Australian product or supply of
minerals and other stuff.
Myanmar
problems, there has been a lot of tension about this country, but nobody seems
able to do anything to help the elected government, so, they are by themselves,
and we must wait and see. Anyhow, the Military government has issued this
statement.
Aung San Suu Kyi will appear in court within days,
military says.
The deposed leader is healthy at home and will
appear in court soon, Myanmar’s military leader General Min Aung Hlaing says.
-------------------------
There is a war again in Palestine.
It
seems to me that the Israelite Jews and the Palestinian Arabs have been at war
on and off since the beginning of human history. They are virtually two races
that have lived in Palestine on and off since written history has begun.
In
the Bible it starts with Abraham leaving his native land to go where Yahweh said
to him to go, after that there are many wars, in one of these wars Abraham wins
and gives a part of his gains to the high priest of God most high. During
Abraham life, at one stage he goes to Egypt with his wife Sara, here Yahweh
helps him again and he returns home a rich man.
Anyhow,
the Jews at one stage again went to Egypt, they became slave of the Pharaoh of
Egypt, later they freed themselves with the help of their God Yahweh and Moses,
and they returned to the promised land. To regain possession of the promised
land they fought many wars and killed many people. There are many other wars
and other things that has forced the Israelite to come and go to their native
land, or promised land, if you want to call it so.
Now,
what we want to point out here is that both these people are native of this
land, so, they must learn one day to live together, after all the entire world
is going global, and we all are going to learn to accept other people of
different race and creed.
My
personal view here, is that the Arab must accept the Israelite because that is
their native land, even is now and then they have left it and gone somewhere
else. Today they will not do that because of what has happened to them in the
past, so, they will stay there and fight, because that is the only way for
their race to survive. If the Arab understand that, then it could be a lot
easier for them to accept.
Now,
is seems to me, the Israelite need to have this land for their country, this is
the only land that they can call home. For the Arab is not easy to accept that,
but it is the only way available. Anyhow, today the Gaza Strip is a small country
and not well organized as Israel is, so, why make war if they cannot win, it
would be better for them to come to some agreement and stop fighting. But this
remains to be seen.
Anyhow,
after 11 days of fighting and 239 deaths on Gaza strip, and 12 deaths on Israel
side they have agreed to stop fighting, and we must wait and see what happens
next.
Anyhow,
some people think that Israel this time might have gone too far, so they want
to investigate what has happened.
Anyhow this article is becoming too long, to see things in more details click on this link, World News and My Views, May 2021. See you in our next article that we are going to write during June.
