My political struggle and opinions of hate are over. Abroad I witnessed how integration can work and how the so called problems related with it are used for media sensation and to create even more division. I met Santiago a man in his 30's who worked at the hotel as the only male cleaner who stopped me and asked if I was from Sweden. He had studied and worked in Stockholm and Borås and Arboga and been to my old hometown of Eskilstuna. He was speaking perfect swedish and it was really nice to talk to him.
The people there were all smiles not because they had to be polite to tourists but because they lived fulfilling lives feeling part of the country and all working together for a common goal having belief in what they did and the future for them and their kids.
It may sound like just a positive feeling on holiday but this was more than that. I realised how Sweden and other so called wealthy countries have taxed themselves so much they have killed every opportunity. You can fill up your car for half the price and most other items you need are much cheaper as well. This of course creates jobs and a country where people can be included and given a chance. Why are small countries on their own trying to solve a imaginary problem related to the environment instead of the entire world together if there ever existed a problem related to the environment and the climate?
We've all been slaves to media whipping up a frenzy of hate and division as that sales papers and tv programmes that never at any time are there to come up with answers or a solution. The salvation does not lie in politics as people live lives separate from politics no matter what politicians decide. The ordinary people still have to get on with it and cannot be bothered with losers in ill fitting suits screaming at each other.
Alejandra cleaned the room and I asked her about her life and she was happy and all smiles having a number of kids at home. I wondered how these people can be so happy but realised I was witnessing integration that worked where people from various countries and cultures worked together instead of arguing with each other. I left a box of chocolates and money for Alejandra as thank you for cleaning my room as I left when she arrived at work on my last day there.
There was a peculiar feeling of harmony among people and even people living rough were polite and kind. The african men selling clocks and sunglasses were upbeat and accepted by the public and I talked to a lot of them and really enjoyed it.
European leaders could learn a lot from a small place like Tenerife but would it be good for their agenda of spreading hate and division and would media sell less papers if they could not whip up a storm that is not really there?
I have changed and I hope more people would change as well. Our lives are precious and short and we need to fill them with good things and live a life as healthy as possible. Hate and made up conflicts have no place in my life anymore. Anyone can change and move on and realise that other peoples battles may not necessarily be yours.
I will spend months abroad from now on cleaning my head from the western worlds fake news of something that doesn't really exist anywhere but in their very thick heads. The world is fed up of people like Boris Johnson with his hair that is never in order dressed as he is in suits that have never fitted him in any way as he looks like a big baby that's been raised on fatty greasy deep fried food looking more like a swedish peasant at a pigs farm rather than some english fellow in London.

In Tenerife I watched them move the remains of Franco live on telly and it was on almost every spanish channel. A weird event that seemed to divide the country more than ever as they made the mistake of putting a stick into shit and make it smell more than ever.
If they thought this was a way to make things undone they didn't expect his supporters to crawl out of the woodwork as they filled the streets and saluted Franco with the fascist/nazi salute in front of the live cameras carrying flags and banners. I don't know but it seems the salute is still allowed down there.
I felt a curse was coming over the people behind this strange ceremony as the helicopter came and landed and moved the body with Franco's family members dressed to their teeth carrying him out to the helicopter. His followers are still many and the country very divided and could so easily become the next european country to burn from within.

A very eerie day to say the least and the feeling of history flapping its wings.

Swedish media is in full denial over this not confirming if they really killed that man or not. They are busy trying to find something to blame the president for like his tweets and the fact they claim there was no sound in the situation room for him to make the claim the ISIS man sobbed and sounded like he claimed.And following on from that heartfelt post from Urbs, I love memes.............................
But of course that information came from the soldiers who of course informed the president and the generals. The swedish media damage control will go on all week.

Oh that's a worldwide phenomenon, I thought Trump's 'victory' speech regarding the operation was a full blown troll to radical Islam, it was hilarious.
The Truth
about Ruth
Trump has been a troll since the beginning but Shillary was so hated that the trolls and morons voted for him. It's nothing to celebrate. It was pretty entertaining when he was doing it on a fake reality show. I get his appeal because I thought he was funny, sometimes in a way that betrayed his own lack of self awareness, much like about 90% of your posts.

US Republican official accused of selling babies in human smuggling plot
Paul Petersen suspended without pay over illegal adoption scheme
An elected Republican official in Arizona has been suspended after being charged with selling babies for adoption at up to $40,000 (£31,000) each.
Paul Petersen, a property tax assessor in Maricopa County, Arizona, allegedly ran a human smuggling scheme which brought dozens of pregnant women from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean to the US.
The expectant mothers were crammed into homes owned or rented by Petersen, often with little or no prenatal care.
They were then paid to give up their newborn babies for adoption to families in Utah, Arkansas and Arizona.
The case involves at least 75 adoptions over three years, according to authorities.
Mr Petersen, a Republican, allegedly failed to disclose the details of his illegal scheme to the new parents, who were charged between $25,000 and $40,000 per adoption.
He was arrested on 8 October but refused to resign from his $77,000-a-year job despite being charged in all three states with criminal offences including human smuggling, sale of a child, fraud, forgery and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
On Monday he was suspended without pay for 120 days by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, who cited his “neglect of duty”.
Mr Petersen’s connection with the Marshall Islands is said to date back to when he completed a mission there for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He later worked on the islands on behalf on behalf of an international adoption agency before going to law school and becoming an adoption attorney.
The investigation began after concerned hospital workers called Utah’s human trafficking tip line.
Utah attorney general Sean Reyes said: “The commercialisation of children is illegal, and the commoditisation of children is simply evil.
“While Mr Petersen is entitled to a presumption of innocence, our investigation uncovered evidence that he has committed horrible crimes. His illegal adoption scheme exploited highly vulnerable groups in two countries—the birth mothers and families in the Marshall Islands and the adoptive parents here in Utah.
“It is heartbreaking that these families from both countries were so cruelly manipulated.”
The Utah Attorney General’s Office said in a statement that they did not intend to reverse the adoptions that had already taken place.
Adoptions between the Marshall Islands and the US are prohibited by an interstate compact due to “a long history of adoption-related exploitation”, it added.

The fact that he wouldn't resign notable. And his whole career, the way it started when he was a Mormon missionary suggests that this is much larger than just this one man. How many others in the Mormon Church are part of this? Utah brought back the firing squad in 2015. I think seeing it used on some of the top officials of the Mormon Church would be a nice step towards justice/

I'm not sure behaviour like that is the right thing. It is lowering yourself to their level. It will increase the risk of more terror attacks where we will see victims who died only because of the way he mocked those terrorists. I found it childish and quite silly. He should have stayed above it and conducted himself in a more responsible manner but of course could not wait to pull the trigger and ridicule socialist mainstream media across the world to really let them know who's in charge and send a message to Hillary.

I don't think we will ever be sure where his body ended up but that was the only clever thing he did under his presidency to avoid a place of worship and the issues that come with it as we can see with Franco in Spain.
I would have hoped Trump would have acted with more dignity but I also realise he did what he did to appeal to the gun wielding rednecks that make up his voting base.
USA never had any sport where people could ventilate their animal behaviour like the british do so well at football so they need other outlets cause what Trump did was the equivalent of english football hooligans standing up shouting "you're not singing anymore".
