US confirms its Libya ambassador killed in Benghazi

BBC Africa News – “US confirms its Libya ambassador killed in Benghazi”

All those who thought our support for the “freedom fighters” in Libya was going to result in freedom and democracy for the Libyan people need to wake up to the realities of the Islamic world.
So much for the Arab Spring!
The downfall of Kaddafi was bankrolled by the United States.  The USA gave money and helped rebels with NATO air support.  What was not blasted over the airwaves by major news services was that the leaders of the anti-Kaddafi fighters were Al Qaida operatives with their own agenda for a post-Kaddafi Libya.  Now the crows come home to roost.
In what is clearly a planned and well executed attack on the consulate in Benghazi, 4 Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador were killed.
Remember that old saying. “Beware the dog that bites the hand that feeds it.”
When is America going to wake up and understand that militant Islamists are not friends, they are ENEMIES!  Now America is following the exact same pattern in Syria.  The U.S. will help install its enemies into power in another Islamic country, this time directly to the North of Israel.
This policy defies logic and understanding.

Top German court paves way for eurozone rescue fund

Washington Post

“Top German court paves way for eurozone rescue fund”.

This was a heavily debated move.  What it means is that German taxpayers will fund lending money to almost bankrupt countries in the EuroZone that used the Euro currency.
But why would Germany bail them out?  Most Germans are very conservative and angry with countries like Greece, Spain and Italy that are fiscally irresponsible.
The answer is that The Dream is Bigger than selfishness.  What dream is that ?
It is the dream of the RE-CREATION of the Roman Empire.  It is the spirit of Charlemagne that will not – nay, cannot die in Germany and France.  It is the dream of a world ruling empire from the British Isles to Afghanistan and all across North Africa.  It is the resurrection of the glory days of Rome.
Charlemange, First Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire

The euro cannot be allowed to collapse.  And the only way this is possible is to lend money to the irresponsible southern partners in order to keep the euro solvent.
The Dream will not be allowed to die.  That is why the Euro must be saved.

How to Catch and Eat a Jack fruit…

Jack fruits are native to South Asia.  Its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, reaching as much as 80 pounds in weight, up to 36 inches long, and 20 inches in diameter.  Here you can see a small jack fruit is much larger than my head.

Here one of the students climbs the tree at the farm to retrieve the fruit.

Waiting anxiously for the scream from above “Incoming!!!”…

And success!  We harvested nine using a screen to catch them and used them at Legacy school in a number of ways below.

Freshly cut jack fruit that the students and I ate right away.

You can make chips that you dry in the sun.

We roasted the seeds and dipped them in brown sugar for a delicious snack that tastes much like a bean.

Sweet coconut and jack fruit soup is my favorite way to use the fruit.
