Please keep in mind a Whack-O is just that! Whacked!
I was talking to one of my doctors who was listening to President Trump comment on the fact that he never did give the House of Representatives his "materials" they needed to do oversight concerning his Ukrainian dealings.
My doctor suddenly blurted into the phone, "Say that sounds as if Trump's got the beginnings of dementia!" When I thought about Trump's lying behavior, it dawned on me that this diagnosis could explain the past 3 years of Trump's fantasizing.

BBC reveals how China's re-training of TV and mass media industry workers is faring
It's true that China has barely an impact on programming on TV in Kenya. But the BBC described recently how native workers employed by Chinese companies are taken back to China to learn the ways as a means to present their kind of programming over Kenyan-Chinese stations.
It would seem that the Chinese are using the airwaves to promote their style of life, whether or not the Africans are interested in learning from it.

Whack-O Theory of 1/17/20: Putin wants to make himself King constitutionally by 2024!
He hopes to get a new constitution formalized in the next 6 months, I understand.
He's not that popular but after all the Chinese did it for their President. Anyway, the entire administration has resigned headed by D. Medvedev, the Russian Prime Minister.
There will be included in this Constitution reference to a Committee Putin will head. On it are to be assembled technocrats to give him ideas, but he will be strictly in control of the government. That's the plan according to the BBC-radio last night.
The point is will he last in his presidency until 2024 or will he be demoted through an exercise of the will of the people? I say, he's not all that popular; and importantly, he's not all that wise for the Russians to entrust him to call all the shots for their own good! (China has established over centuries a powerful ruling class of provincial leaders that have sway over its central administration, I think).

Muslim Persecution in Xinchiang Province of China
I have been asked through official ways to see what I can do to alleviate the suffering of Muslims in China.
The final resolution to the situation is for Muslim theologians to get together and revise their sacred texts so that caliphates are not perceived by governments as a threat to their secular existence. It is certainly the case anyway that the caliphate is a spiritual entity uniting Muslims in a given area, whether that area is identified with geographical locations.
Yemen and other areas in the Middle East are still battle zones among warring factions of Sunnais, Shia' and other sects in spite of the Muslim desire and call for peace. The condition is well-recognized within the Muslim faith: the caliphate system of Muslim organization is at odds with the political divisions of legally governing national structures extant globally.
What I can do may be minimal. In China, the tribal roots are very deep. Any changes in the way Muslims are treated must be handled through the several provinces individually. The President of China handles international affairs of the nation bound together by the provincial ties of allegiance to cooperate yet to preserve the traditional respect for each provincial's authority at national and regional levels.
You may be interested to know that Chinese people I know well have convinced me that Christianity, dating back some 2000 years, is in desperate need of updating; and I am already working on this project--inspired by their attempts to reach out and permit the existence of non-home-grown religions on their soil, yet finding them sorely lacking to speak in cogent terms of relevancy to their people! Nevertheless, be it recognized that Confucianism has become, over the Centuries. a cultural part ingrained in their daily living--losing somewhat a religious character by being thusly transformed.

The thing about President Trump: He's a monarchical maniac!
Trump is a Nineteenth Century romantic; and that's why he thinks the Jewish homeland is to be only in Palestine when the plain truth is the Jews have a homeland wherever they live. Even in the US! I saw his speech on C-SPAN last night. He did not do the US proud, but became a spokesman for Zionism and in that capacity relegated Judaism to a sect.
But that is precisely the point: he wants the world to conform to his image of what the world should be; and for him there is no dialogue possible with those who do not go along with vision. In his recent talks with other NATO members, he became a laughing-stock amid the chagrin expressed by representatives of other countries that their security should be taken so lightly so to accept his demands for their continued US concern for their protection throughout Europe and environs.
Reportedly, his stance for a Nineteenth Century Romanticism is equally netting a fake-moralistic stance of a "take-it-or-leave-it" deal. This man is a hindrance to diplomatic discussions and places the US in a position that the US constitution has become threatened and will be non-enforced.
I tell you my position. It is that the US should learn to cooperate with China and not accept Trump's Romantic notion that he is always "the Father who knows best!" It will be a miracle if China accepts his demands for a trade deal.

Me: I'm having difficulty where I'm living--to stay here!
They're again trying to get me out! But now, this time, if I have to vacate the premises, I know (I think I know!), I'll remain in the DC metropolis.
It happens, this time, because I've been told I have to do chores to remain here. They told me before I didn't have to do chores, but now they say I must.
I'm too old to do chores. When I was at CCNV on 2nd Street, they exempted me from doing chores. I like it where I'm at, very much, but I don't know if the present ruling will be enforced against me.
**************************************************
My Credo
I was living in El Paso, but received word I was needed back in DC. I like doing National Service; and things have gone relatively smoothly since moving here 2 years ago. I'm not here alone; I'm appealing for help to avoid the present obstacle!
Thank you! 11/12/19 JLO

Iraqis are being exposed to democracy!
C-Span has carried a panel discussion of the present conditions in Iraq held at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC. recently. It appears they are learning lessons on how a democratic government functions.
What seemed so marvelous, as brought out in their discussion is the Iraqis can't make sense of who legislators represent in their legislature. They seem to think that because the legislators are government workers, they must be representing the Iraq administration! They apparently don't realize that they don't have to protest in the streets to make the central government aware of their demands, they've got legislators working on their behalf to communicate their viewpoints to the administration!
