Astronomer, Who else are you going to interview in OUR Europe? Just asking..The artwork Mohnfeld (poppy field) by Sanja Iveković was realized in 2007 in Kassel Germany, Friederichsplatz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncg48kq9bVA
The Brothers Grimm, were born in Hanau, Hesse-Kassel (https://www.grimmwelt.de/en/)
On May 27, 2024 Memorial Day, your US fellow citizens, Astronomer, gathered to honor the courage and sacrifice of the 117 American & 19 German airmen who perished during the Kassel Mission on September 27, 1944.

In this age of the second technological revolution, we entered an identity war. (Mostly) anonymous people are controlling, altering & damaging other peoples identity & existence. But also people in power can abuse a position to control others.
So, i ask you. Hów do you make Doge a democratic, transparant instrument that will not abuse people's personal identities? 0 reply

Good day, To you, readers with good intentions,
The current definition of genocide is based on the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention). It defines genocide as:
"Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group, as such:"
1. Killing members of the group.
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
3. Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the group’s physical destruction in whole or in part.
4. Imposing measures to prevent births within the group.
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
A key aspect of genocide is specific intent to destroy the group as such, meaning because of their identity. States have a legal obligation to prevent and punish it under international law.

Reader with non-bully intentions, Two texts:
1 Walter Benjamin, Illuminations, p202, quote: "For the important thing for the remembering author is not what he experienced, but the weaving of his memory, the Penelope work of recollection. Or should one call it, rather, a Penelope work of forgetting? Is not the involuntary recollection, Proust's 'memoire involontaire', much closer to forgetting than what is usually called memory? And is not this work of spontaneous recollection, in which remembrance is the woof and forgetting the warf, a counterpart to Penelope's work rather than its likeness? For here the day unravels what the night was woven. When we awake each morning, we hold in our hands, usually weakly and loosely, but a few fringes of the tapestry of lived life, as loomed for us by forgetting. However, with our purposeful activity and, even more, our purposive remembering each day unravels the web and the ornaments of forgetting."

Sir? When the Gulf War started, I was 25. I read the message in a Dutch newspaper on the lawn, at a swimming pool. I remember being shocked. After all, the Berlin Wall had just fallen & Nelson Mandela had been liberated. My hopes for more peace were dashed again. Dad💞✨was still alive. We talked a lot & regularly about the 'state of the world', my father & I. He was just as worried about it as I was. Then, when armed conflicts started in Yugoslavia in 1991, I panicked. This is how this painting came about. Calming myself, while researching armed conflicts.

Dear reader with good, and cybersafe intentions, What is peace? I just found the review in link 3 in one of my locked boards on Pinterest PoetryBirdsFly. I read the review about three years ago [...] It's an excerpt of this book, which i read partially:
1. https://www.amazon.com/Peace-History-Movements-David-Cortright/dp/0521670004
Do you have ideas about peace, how to end wars? To be very honest, i don't know what peace is, how lasting peace can be achieved, in the context of today's Europe and in the context of people who bring down airplanes with innocent civilians, like the MH 17 in 2014. However, i do know that pacifism leads to more violence, unfortunately. So, I translated a very good opinion about the topic, by Dutch public intellectual Hubert Smeets, Pacifism in times of war:

Astronomer? A #fair tale, retrieved from ChatGPT
On the crimson sands of Mars, where whispers of ancient winds carried secrets of a bygone era, the spirit of Death roamed as a guardian, not a foe. Mars, once vibrant with emerald rivers and golden skies, had fallen silent, its life fading into legend. Yet, Death held no malice—only reverence for the stories etched into every dune and valley. One day, as a lone explorer from Earth set foot on the barren terrain, Death approached, not as an end, but as a guide, revealing the tales of a planet that had lived, loved, and perished, promising that even in silence, life leaves its mark on eternity.

Good day, First i wish you and the people you love health and cybersafety.
This is a message for readers with good intentions,
The Dutch Public Prosecutor, district Zeeland West-Brabant, the Dutch journalist (cyberbully) Jan Eikelboom (NOS & Nieuwsuur), and anonymous cyberstalking FLIPPO do nót understand that truth depends on dialogue and diplomacy because of spirits of light in human concepts of science.
Thus, If you succeed to dismantle Flippo, also known as IND jurist Jan Leenaers, Jan Waldolala, Ja Waldola, Martin Stokkers, etc., you will receive 20000 euro.
