Iran is a threat to the whole world! Iran has medium and long range missiles that can reach Israel, Turkey, Greece, and other European nations! Iran is working on developing a nuclear weapon!
Is America attacking Iran pragmatic and even feasible? as soon is Iran knowns it is going to be attacked it will start attacking Israel an Europe with its ballistic missiles! Iran will attack the Strait of Hormuz making the channel unnavigable!
America attacking Iran is a disaster waiting to happen! It will force oil to 500 usd a barrel. It will create chaos in global economy with collapse of world’s stock markets!
I immigrated from communist Russia to Israel with my family in 1971. We had to give up all our money to a few connected people in Russia to be allowed to leave. After living in Israel for two years there was a lot of talk about war! My mother afraid that my brother has to join the Army decided to leave Israel. After going to Canada and then to Germany we made it to America in 1974.
I grew up in America and experienced many difficulties. I actually did not attend school but worked since I as 12 years old to help support myself. My family did not have enough money to buy me clothes. When I turned 18, I took a GED and attended a 2 year community college and graduated with 3.8 average. I applied to NYU and was admitted. I did not have money to pay for school but received scholarships and financial aid. I graduated NYU in 1990 with a degree in Finance and Systems application.
The economy was in recession under George Bush, so it was very hard to find a job. I met my wife, who is Japanese in NYC. She came to visit and travel America. Together we came to Japan. I started my jewelry import business in Japan. But it is really funny how I started the business. During summer vacations while attending NYU I sold friendship bracelets that are made by indigenous Indians in Lake Atitlan Panajachel Guatemala. I use to buy this bracelets from a hippie lady Susana who lived in East Village NYC. Eventually I went to Guatemala and bought them from the people who make them.
In Guatemala I bought them for .02 cents each! I use to sell them on the beach for 1 usd each. It was a lot of hard work walking in the hot sand offering them to people. Anyway when we came to Japan, I had a small bag of these bracelets left over and I brought them with me! I wound up wholesaling them at Harajuku Japan at 1 usd each.
My first intent was to work as an English teacher in Japan, but seeing that I can make an import fashion accessories business I decide to do that. I did it for 10 years. So even though I applied for American citizenship before I went to Japan, I did not attend the interview when was called for.
One day while visiting Hawaii with my wife USA immigration told me that I must surrender my greencard because they did not consider me an American resident! I had a choice to give it up or go to court in USA and challenge their decision. I had my wife and my business in Japan! I decided to give up my green card!
What did I do wrong? I and my family came to America with nothing! We worked very hard all our lives to make ourselves better people. When I did not see a working opportunity in America I went to work in Japan! Am I being persecuted for trying so hard to be a better person?

There was one Tweet between me and congressman Bob Barr that got lost and I cannot find it! But my mother has Alzheimer’s and the nursing home that she is in has her totally sedated as a vegetable because they do not have enough staff to attend to their patients! I found the lost Tweet in my Twitter archives

i cry for all American people not just for my mother! I cry for the whole world, because America is the beacon of light 4 all of us
To my Jewish brothers and sisters! We The Jewish People are a nation of people who are strong together! Now in diaspora as for centuries we are fighting for our rights as people.
We as Jewish people have been persecuted by other races since God gave us Israel through the hand of Abraham our patriarch. One exile after another we were condemned to bondage and suffering!
Now most of us are in Israel fighting with our Palestinian brothers to defend our land, or we are in America getting rich. Still many of us are scattered all over the world!
Being Jewish is not just a religion but a way of life. It does not matter if you live in Israel or in another part of the world, you are still Jewish!
As Jewish people why have we been so persecuted and despised by other people? Could it be because we do not respect people? Could it be that we are scared and just want to be left alone? Could it be that we are afraid to be Jewish?
If we want other people to respect us as a race we need to respect each other first! We need to stop being afraid! We need to believe in who we are!
Jewish Diaspora Immigrants
I fear if we fail to stand up and speak against injustice! If we fail to fight against oppression! If we fail to fight for Human Rights and for Freedom of Speech, America will be the next land of Jewish persecution!
It is not just about businesses and leave me alone! It is about all people Jewish and non-Jewish! Respect and stand up for your fellow human beings!
Uphold and protect The United States of America Constitution and its Bill of Rights!

America is trying to have it its own way again! In the recent turn of events between China and Tibet, America is acting like an Ass instead of trying to facilitate peace between two peoples.
Nanci Pelosi, the democratic congresswoman from California went to visit Dali Lama in Dharamsala, India and instead of helping the Tibetan people negotiate peace and autonomy with China, she pured gasoline on the fire inciting animosity from the Chinese, by telling China that, “China is evil and persecuting and oppressing Tibetan people, and she demands independence for Tibet!”
Lord’s Eyes
Nancy Pelosi, is an adept diplomat who does not care about Tibetan people but came to promote the alternative agenda of USA. What is she trying to do, make China look bad, so she can bring all the manufacturing jobs back to America? Please, that will never happen, the world relies on China for its low cost manufacturing.
Is she trying to promote democracy in China? Well, American pseudo-democracy is a political ideology that in practice does not really work. America suppresses its own minorities and silents unpopular believes . America denies its own citizens rights and tears apart families. Not allowing parents to be with their children, when parents are American citizens and children are not. America deprives its own citizens the rights over their own bodies all in the name of moral and righteousness. In America if a woman sells her body for sex that is illegal and she goes to jail, so does the man who buys sex from her. Eliot Spitzer, ex senator, righteous corruption fighter gets caught with a 5,000 usd hooker. In China even though prostitution is illegal, it is practiced and respected.
So what does dear pure Nancy trying to promote in China? Could she be trying to help her imperialistic regime to break China up in small regions like it has done to Russia? America wants to be the global king, the only superpower left in the world. America does not give a fuck in facilitating peace between people. The Israeli - Palestinian dilemma is evidence to such a fact. After decades of negotiations and fighting the two brothers are still at war.
Tibetan people cannot have independence today, but they can have an autonomy so their culture and heritage is preserved and not destroyed by the influx of Chinese tourist. And America can help it happen instead of getting on its high white horse preaching democracy! America brought democracy to imperial Japan, but at what cost? How many innocent civilians it murdered with firebombing and nuclear bombs? America trying to bring democracy to Iraq by pitting Shia and Sunni brothers against each other.
America is so self centered and pure that it thinks the whole world revolves around it. It preaches freedom and democracy to other nations but does not give it to its own people and imposes its liberties on other nations at the point of a gun. America is not the land of the free and the home of the brave, but the land of the hypocrites , the greedy, and the obese.
I was born in Leningrad, Russia and immigrated to USA with my family, via Israel, when I was 11 years old. Living in America was very hard for all of us, but I tried my best and graduated from New York University with a degree in finance and computer information technology.
After graduating NYU, I was not able to find a suitable job because of an economic downturn, so I decided to come live in Japan with my new Japanese wife that I have just met in New York. We both came to Japan, I thinking of working as an English teacher and my wife not really knowing what she was going to do. By sheer luck I brought with me Gutamala friendship bracelets which I wholesaled at Harajuku for one usd each. After that I decided to start an import company, which I ran and managed for 10 years.
We were doing really well and saved up some money and even thinking of coming back to live in the USA, but one day when we went on vacation to Hawaii the USA immigration took away my American green card. They told me that because I spend most of my time outside America I cannot have a green card. Both my parents became neturalized American citizens, but because I was over 18 years of age at the time of application I did not become American citizen automatically but had to apply on my own, which I did not because I was busy running my business in Japan.
Now everytime I wanted to go to America I had to get a visa, which I was granted but had to come up with a lot of paper work. During that time, my father died at the age of 65 and I was not able to attend his funeral. My brother died from cancer at the age of 46, and I was not able to attend his funeral. I was not able to attend both their funerals because I did not have a valid visa at the time.
Four years ago, after living in Japan for 14 years, I’ve tried getting a USA visa so I can visit my mother who is 78 years old now and lives all alone, and the USA consulant in Osaka, Japan refused my visa, saying that I cannot prove intent of not wanting to immigrate to USA. My mother is sick and she does not have any living reletives who can help her. A few times when I called her I found her in a hospital on her death bed. God help me, for American is wrong! She is an American citizen and I her son cannot visit her. America claims it is fighting for freedom and democracy, but meanwhile it does not respsect its citizens human rights and The US Bill of Rights
