My introduction
Dear Sinoland Fans,
I think this informative list came from fellow China Writer Wei Ling Chua. It’s been in my drafts for many months. I’m going back through them and getting good quality stuff published.
The list below is thought-provoking. It makes a lot of sense.
My Judaism Library is also must reading, to understand the Talmud-Tanakh West’s deep, destructive and deleterious defects in its DNA.
Over the years, sometimes music and cinema inspire me when I write geopolitical, sociopolitical, socioeconomic material and I’ll add songs and movie outtakes.
In this case, I remembered the great song “War”, by Edwin Starr and The Temptations. Just change the word war in the lyrics with politicians, it all makes sense, and it is oh, so true.
Thus, you’ve got those to listen to.
Enjoy singing along and take care, Jeff
Do we really need politicians?
Housing, safe streets, education, health, longevity, retirement.. there is no lack of workable, affordable solutions to the Judeo-West’s problems – but they always fester. Why? Could elected politicians be the problem? For five thousand years, China’s society has thrived without politicians and the effects are clear:
- Reduced Partisanship
- Stability and Continuity
- Expertise and Meritocracy
- Long-term Perspective
- Reduced Corruption
- Efficiency in Administration
- Focus on Public Service
- Enhanced Trust in Government
- Better Use of Resources
- Reduction in Political Patronage
Also, for the Judeo-West, could 3,000 years of the Talmud-Tanakh be a factor? Or is IT the root of the problem?
Living library on Judaism. Continually updated. With image texts and video transcripts to easily copy for your use, and for translating them and this webpage in all available languages!
Take care, Jeff

War
Song by: The Temptations and Edwin Starr
War! Hunh!
What is it good for?
Nothin’!
War! Hunh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
Say it again
War! Hunh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
War! I despise
‘Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears in thousands of mother’s eyes
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I said
War! Hunh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
Say it again!
War! Hunh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
War
It’s nothin’ but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction then destruction, who wants to die?
Oh war! (good God)
What is it good for?
You tell
Nothin’
War! (good God)
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
Good God
War!
Is nothin’ but a heartbreaker
War!
Friend only to the undertaker
Wars have shattered many a young man’s dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious
To spend fightin’ wars these days
War can’t give life, it can only take it away!
Oh war! (good God)
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
War! Good God almighty, listen
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
War!
It’s nothin’ but a heartbreaker
War!
Friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understandin’
Tell me, is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there’s got to be a better way
I said, war!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
Say it again
War!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothin’)
Say it again
War!
Nothin’ but a heartbreaker
