THE LOST COLORS

GLOBALHAMLET

“In a world plagued by conflicts, warfare, and the struggle against poverty, the vibrant colors of life are being extinguished. Innocent civilians and peaceful individuals fall victim to the atrocities committed by totalitarian states and oppressive regimes. This music video clip captures the essence of these struggles, serving as a powerful reminder of the destruction caused by these forces. Through a blend of evocative visuals and compelling music, it seeks to shed light on the urgent need for freedom, justice, and the restoration of humanity’s true colors.”

The Rootless Powerful White Men

GLOBALHAMLET

The Rootless Powerful White Men

I came here very often. I call it

The Spiritual Class

Where I could talk to my great Teacher

Nature!

I observed the trees the environment around me and having confabulation with them about humans. The only creatures with a developed brain and capable of cultural, social, and technological evolution. 

The intelligent creatures always try to innovate something for a better world, but I am wondering why they love to make the rivalry. Don’t they know the competitions bring contention and disagreements and finally??

The Wars!

Of course, they know it because

The Wars bring

Money

And Those Monies give them

Powers

Is that what humans are looking for?

Power

Money

Wars?

OR

Wars

Money

Power

OR…

Are those people not able to learn to do something having strong roots like these trees?

The oldest arts were created in the cave about 64000 years ago and they were images of animals. The purpose was not for decoration, but the parts of a magic ritual to face reality and angst. The fear of unknown natural disasters like thunders, typhoons, floods, hurricanes, and storms inspired primitive artists to communicate with them to overcome their fears. 

The trees didn’t fear the catastrophes, but the activists of the Powerful Men. The artists observed the trees and the angsts.

The first distinction between continents was made by ancient Greek mariners who gave the names Europe and Asia to the lands on either side of the waterways. The Powerful Men divided the people into White and Colored Men and the idea of racism and the thoughts that White Men are smarter than Colored Men and the Religion Men helped the White Powerful Men to take over many lands and overpowered the Colored Men!

They couldn’t tolerate the Colored Men. The Colored Men escaped to the forests and jungles. They settle down and raise their families over there. It was unbearable for the Artists to observe what The Holy and Powerful Men were doing and joined the Colored Men and hide among the trees and plants.

The Holy Men colluded with the Powerful Men and all became White Powerful Men. They divided the earth into five continents and seven and more to destroy the roots of the Colored Men and the Artists. The Artists could tell the truth, about what the White Powerful Men were doing. People visited the Artworks of the Artists and could understand what The White Powerful Men did to many Folks and they also left the Lands of the White Powerful Men.

THE ARTISTS

COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR

ARTS!

And

The Trees Communicate with their Roots!

Since then, the Colored Men, the Artists, and the Newcomers learned from nature that there is so much diversity of trees and plants. In the jungles and forests don’t exist any border between the trees. The trees live for hundreds and even thousands of years, but humans just for some decades. The roots of the trees are so strong and grow deeply that when they collapsed, still the tiny roots grow, and sometimes there is a new tree.

Have you ever embraced or put your ears on the trees to listen to their communication?

When I pressed my ear to their trunks, I heard how they communicate.

Like any natural phenomenon, they eat, drink, and grow up and some of them live hundreds and thousands of years. The trees take care of each other and even feed the young plants. The young ones enjoy the shadows of huge trees and learning how to grow and have their roots deep in the earth. They get larger and stand closely together.

Compare the trees with the White Powerful Men

The trees

NEVER make war

I have never seen any corrupt tree

Nor liar

There is neither any competition between them nor any superiority.

Is that because we have a brain and they don’t?

They constantly, communicate, above and underground using sound, scents, signals, and vibes. Their roots are natural networks, connected with everything that exists. They are very considerate in sharing the sunlight, and their root systems are closely connected.

When I saw some trees fall after the storm, it attracted my attention

Their Roots!

But

What about humans?

What about the White Powerful Men

WHO

Losing their Roots?

The human brain is believed to be more

intelligent in general more than any other

known species, but they blamed animals and

HOW they live!

We, human beings, believe that we are the only creatures who communicate developmentally. That is not true! The Powerful White Men made devices that people make conversations which is far from communication. What they do, is just give credit to the Powerful White Men.

The Pompous!

The rootless Powerful White Men still trying to divide the people into different classes, races, skin colors, religions…

And

In this way

The White Powerful Men

Are killing the dreams of Mankind

To GET MORE

POWER!

And

The Trees growing and communicating with the Newcomers and the Artists observing and creating

SILENTLY!

Germany Goes Digital

GLOBALHAMLET

Germany Goes Digital

Right! It goes but how!

Let me tell you a story. NO! It is not fiction. It is what happened to me in the last days.

Ten days ago I wanted to upgrade my internet speed from 150 downloads and 5 Mbps upload to 500 downloads and 25 Mbps upload – megabits per second- and I wished for a new router. I have sent an email to the provider  – Unitymedia – with all my wishes and requests.

After a day I got a phone call from the provider – with a new name, Vodafone – to confirm my requests and she happily informed me that my wishes would be fulfilled in two days.

In two days the post brought the package, and on the same day, I have received an SMS that; my products are activated and I can use it immediately.

I have disconnected the old Router – Fritz! Box 6490 – and connected the new one – Fritz! Box 6591 – and configured it by the Fritz!Box web browser. Everything went well EXCEPT for the speed of my internet. It was between 20 and 40 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload. I thought it would be fine. I just should be patient for one day, even I knew that the new connection would take an estimated about 2 hours.

24 hours passed, and I called the company Vodafone and explained that my new internet connection and its download varies from 20 up to 40 Mbps. She said, test your speed and hung up. Of course, I was testing the speed all day and evening. I have tried to call again and this time a lady connected me to the technical department. The gentleman promised me to send a technician as soon as possible. Something about two hours later I got an SMS that the ANTEC GmbH will send a technician in two days between 10:00 and 14:00. The next coming two days the internet was terrible. And sometimes I didn’t have any internet at all.

On a promising day the technician was here in my apartment and started to test the internet wall outlet where I have connected my internet and after a while he said, that is the problem and I have to change the wall outlet because it is old. He has done it and tested again and said. Oh, the cable they sent is wrong, but I have the standard one. He changed that one too, and measured the speed. He couldn’t find why the speed is still very slow. I’ve asked him to check the new router and his answer was;

  • I have the same router and it is working very well”.

I smiled and asked him:

  • Maybe you should try it.
  • No need. I know it is new and fine.
  • How do you know that?

He didn’t answer my question and went further into the other rooms and checked all internet wall outlets. The result was the same, “slow download”. It varied from 20 to 34 Mbps.

He suggested we should go to the basement that he could check the main cable. He did and concluded that

  • The problem is there and we should change it.
  • But do you know what that means? You should break the walls from here to the second floor of my apartment.
  • Yes, we have to, but for now, you can use your internet and we will monitor your speed.
  • But I can’t accept that because it is not what I am paying for that. And I need faster internet for my online teaching.

He said nothing and gone.

Within an hour I’ve received an email with the report of the technician which he didn’t show me what he has written and even I didn’t sign it.

I called the technical department and told them the whole situation. The lady told me: I am sorry, this case is closed and we can’t help you.

  • But I didn’t sign that report. How could you accept it?
  • Because of Corona, you are not allowed to sign it.
  • Ridiculous! Nonsense! He was here, inside my apartment for about two hours and there was no problem, but signing a paper we got the problem with Corona?
  • Sorry, we can’t help you.

She hung up. I didn’t give up and called again to get somebody to help me. She couldn’t help. I was sure that the new router was broken and dead. I have started to search on the internet for hours to collect some information about the router.

I found out that in Germany, you can only use the FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable with article number 20002857 with all cable connections. Models with other AVM article numbers are not intended for use with all cable connections. And what I got was with the article number 20002827.

The next day I called three times to ask them to deactivate the new router and activate the old router. They did it and within 30 minutes I have got my high-speed internet.

I’ve called the company again to tell them

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT AND TECHNICIANS!

And I explained all details and I knew they were recording my voice.

I don’t blame the company, the technician, and all co-workers. The politicians in Germany don’t care about the digital era.

In Germany, only 26,2 percent of young people attend a school where both teachers and students have access to a WiFi network. This puts Germany absurdly behind the international average of 64,9 percent. 

On average, each computer in Germany is shared between 10 people, compared with five in Denmark. 3,2 percent of schools equip all teachers with their own portable digital terminals (i.e. Laptops or tablets). Internationally, the average is 24,1 percent and in Denmark, it is as high as 91,1 percent.

Regard all those facts, I am optimistic that Germany goes digital in 2100! Cross the fingers!

The Little Thing – COVID-19

GLOBALHAMLET

The Little Thing

#thelittlethinghasmanyfaces

Global Hamlet is a place where people share their stories and ideas to be connected and united with their open minds and creative ideas.

In the beginning, no filmmaker dared to make a film about Covid. This film is made online and observed people’s life in different countries. When the Corona Pandemic hit our daily lives, everyone feared. They couldn’t cope with the situation. They were isolated and thought about that Virus, the little thing has changed their lives. Some of them found another little thing to survive the unsociable life. How could an invisible “Little Thing” affect our daily lives? How fragile are we when the little things would change our non-linear habits? Did we learn anything from Corona Time to be unified?

The Perfect Germany!

GLOBALHAMLET

Germany and Its Perfection!

When I was flying from the USA to Germany, in the aircraft I met Mr. H. a German gentleman about 55 years old. We started to talk about everything and after some hours he told me about himself why he moved to the USA and lived there.

He told me, he was looking for a job. He was graduated in Sociology and Science and lost his job about two years ago because the company was bankrupt and fired 311 employees and he was one of them.

After nine months, sending letters and emails for a new job, finally, he received a letter from a bank and invited him for an interview. After the meeting, he believed that he should get the job because of his experiences and studies. It took some weeks and until he got a negative answer. He tried to get some information about their decisions and what was wrong with his resume and the interview, but they refused to give him any details.

Again he was without work and hardly could cover his expenses until he got a wonderful position in a company in the United States like that one in Germany.

I showed him the website of Cabinet of Germany:

https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-en/federal-government/cabinet

He stared at the site and I could see he became upset and angry and told me that he never made any attempt to know about the background of the German cabinet.

I told him; That is favoritism! If you got somebody in the political area, you would have got the job!

I indicated to that part:

Federal Minister of the Interior, Building, and Community

Studied: 1967 Mittlere Reife (lower school leaving certificate)

1979 Obtained degree from Munich Academy of Business and Public Sector Management

***

Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy

Studied: 1978 Abitur (higher education entrance qualification), followed by basic military service

1980 – 1985 Studied Law at Saarland University in Saarbrücken

***

Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs

Studied: 1987 Allgemeine Hochschulreife (general higher education entrance qualification)

1988 Ford-Werke GmbH, Saarlouis

1989 – 1996 Degree in Law at the Saarland University, first and second state examinations

.

.

.

He was reading and shaking his head. He told me that he never knew the background of the German Government. And I told him

  • I don’t believe that the studies of the Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy don’t support his position or the minister of…

He interrupted me and said

  • Look! I don’t care about them because they don’t care about us.
  • Actually, you are right, but don’t we really know who is governing this country?
  • No! It doesn’t change anything!

And the rest of our flight went on in silence!

***

Some weeks later I should go to the airport again and I took a taxi. To my surprise, the driver was a woman. I told her

  • There are not many female taxi driver in Germany!
  • You are right, sir! It is a matter of choice. Sometimes you are forced to choose.
  • And may I ask you, what is the reason you did that?
  • It is a long story, sir. A bitter reality!
  • We have a long way to the airport and I am a wise listener!
  • I am a German citizen, 48 years old and lost my job about two years ago. I was a doctor in Psychoanalyst and had been working in a big company, but the company made a fusion with Pharmaceutical Center and I am unemployed. The last year I applied to many jobs as a specialist and finally, I got an invitation to the interview and I thought I was perfect and my CV perfectly fitted with all the requirements but I was wrong and they rejected me. I have tried to apply any kind of jobs which was suitable for my expertise but no success. So, I was disappointed and didn’t want to beg for any job and started to work as a taxi driver and be an independent person.
  • I can imagine how it feels. Don’t you want to move to the USA?
  • There is a Persian Proverb: The sky is of the same color wherever you go.
  • That is true.

I told her about Mr. H. and many others who had the same problems with the political systems.

  • When you look at the ministers’ backgrounds and the positions they have at this moment, it is just unimaginable how they can govern the country.
  • They don’t govern. They do care about their own political positions and wonderful monthly salaries. That is the reason many of them are guilty of plagiarism. Having a doctor title, means, a lot of money.
  • You are right! When I look at the German Cabinet, I should cry for the folk. I can’t believe that the Federal Minister of Education and Research has such a background

Studied: 1990 Abitur (higher education entrance qualification), followed by a banking traineeship at Deutsche Bank

1993 Trained in hotel management at the family hotel

since 1994  Manager, Hotel Teutoburger Wald

2003 – 2008 Studied business at the University of Hagen, distance education university; obtained degree in business administration

  • How can they build up the future of this country with those kinds of Ministers?
  • For many years I thought the politicians were very clever fellows, but in the last two years, I believe that they are very bad liars.
  • That is true!

And I have read the list of some Ministers:

Federal Minister of Finance

1978 – 1985  Studied law

since 1985 Lawyer

***

Federal Minister of Defense

Studied: 1982 – 1990 Studied law and politics at the Universities of Trier and Saarbrücken

Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture

Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth

Studied: 1998 – 2001 Diploma in Public Administration at the Berlin School of Economics and Law

2003 – 2005 M.A. in European Administrative Management at the Berlin School of Economics and Law

***

Federal Minister of Health

Studied: 1999 – 2001
Training as a banker, followed by employment as a banker, WestLB-Münster

***

Studied: 1988 – 1996 Studied German literature and political sciences in Bochum, obtained a master’s degree

1993 – 1997 Freelance advertising and PR work

She laughed ironically and said:

  • It speaks for itself! I am not surprised that those guys made a mess of their works. Maybe people like me should change their expertises and having some simple jobs like mine as a protest and see how the government will react!
  • I know how!
  • How?
  • They will import some guys from other countries and showings, how they care about the development of the world!
  • You could be right! By the way, where are you flying to?
  • To be honest, I don’t know. I just want to find an island far from any developments and start to live in a primitive way. I am getting crazy about those political games!
  • That is a great idea! But do you think you would be able to find such a place?
  • I don’t know, but it’s worth to try!
  • If you find any place here is my number and give me a call!

She dropped me at the airport, handed her number and wished me good luck!
