Dear Friends:

I would like to share with you a “summary” of recent news and the comments posted by myself in the WSJ Journal Community about headlines of the Wall Street Journal from February 29 to March 9.

The comments are about politics, economy, business, social issues, technology and other subjects in the United States, Europe and the world.

As you can see for the RECOMMENDATIONS, the majority of these comments generated a good reaction of other members of the Journal Community.

Important: Some of the comments were rewritten according to the summary of news.

BLOG COMMENTS: 2016/02/29 - 016/03/09


MY COMMENT: The current results are very bad for Marco Rubio, but from the first moment, Ted Cruz looked stronger than the Florida Senator.

MY COMMENT: Some people say that Apple has to cooperate with the FBI’s efforts. Others say: No.

Nobody says what will happen if the encryption cases continue and Apple is forced to open its security programming routines for all the requirements of government agencies.

In the end, everybody will know the Apple's secrets including the Chinese and Russians. That is not good.

MY COMMENT:  According to Samsung, its new smart-phone Galaxy S7 is not vulnerable to the effects of the water.

MY COMMENT: Bobby Jindal is right when he says that “President Obama created Donald Trump”.

The real American people with independent mind are disappointed with the government of President Obama. Some of them want a radical change in our politics. For these citizens, the “radical” change is Donald Trump.

The problem is that the “radical changes” generate social commotions that can destroy the integrity of the national values of the country.

We are in crucial moment of our History and the mistakes of the current government can push us to commit new mistakes.

We need a leader that unifies us in the right way. Of course this leader will have to take hard decisions but we don’t want that America walks through a totalitarian regime.

MY COMMENT: With digital tools we can neutralize communications, movement of resources and military operations, but we cannot neutralize the spread of the ISIS ideology. 

Behind all we see from the Islamic State is the poison of an ideology of extermination that we don't kill with guns and technology.

Guns and technology can help in the battlefield. However we need to RE-EDUCATE the people to show the current ignorant “ecumenical” generation who were Mohammed and his followers.

Today, we lose time in stupidities, but we don’t read History and we don’t analyze the meaning of some universal events that divided our Planet in different worlds separated by huge abysses.

The Islamic State is the recreation of the Middle-Ages caliphates that wanted the complete destruction of the “pagans” according to their beliefs. The problem is today the caliphs can use our "technology" and "our guns" also against us.
