THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT


I begin with a well known, illustrative parable.
As you will see, following the parable, below, like the elephant, ALL are parts of the same, disjointed phenomena, system, though they may appear disparate, separate, unrelated:

So, we have below the following report about a "human rights" disaster, catastrophe, in northern Iraq, referred to as Kurdistan.
I am well aware "human rights," in itself, is an oft abused and misused politically expedient term and ideologically manufactured category, depending on who finances the report, purposes, circumstances, etc.
But, the events occurring in this instance are accurate, whatever term one uses, aside from the fact NAZI Iran/Persia is NOT mentioned by name, sanitized from the narrative, instead, Arabs:

And, then, I juxtapose the above with the following about Dana Gas:

The second factor is CAUSALLY related to the first one.
There are thousands of other examples.
But, I chose those two randomly.

The point about the elephant parable is, who/what caused the OVERALL situation in Iraq represented by those two examples above?

The other analogy is disease.

Disease has MULTIPLE symptoms.
One can attempt to treat, diagnose and perhaps contain secondary, tertiary symptoms, palliative care, and simply leave intact or deny the underlying, fundamental etiology, the consequences of which are well known.

And, so, on that brief, happy note and pensive riddle, I end with the following editorial commentary from another country whose former and ongoing state dissolution enabled our currently deranged, diseased and fractured world to exist, expand and spread its contagious, pathological wings, without which, none of the above could have happened:
