Tuesday – August 4, 2026

I am delighted to be able to announce that I have traveled to Türkyie in order to document, in peace, the Middle East. Now, this means that I am going to write only about the Middle East and Türkyie (Turkey) for the coming week, in order to gain some more perspective on this interesting country. I have decided to go to Türkiye because I believe that God (Yahweh-Elohim in this case) has ordained me to go to the near East. Actually, it would be more prudent to refer to Türkyie as Turkey since most people know Türkiye as Turkey, but since I seek to respect the country that I am a guest inside, I will continue to refer to the country as Türkyie.

    Now, I may not be a Moslem, but I do know better, I know that I have come to explore this country in Peace and in respect, nothing short of this, and in fact, nothing short of this would even be acceptable to me or to the people of this land. Now, I and many of the Turkish people may disagree on the precise importance of Attatürk, but I know that Islam and the east is still redolent in this land, to the extent where you can feel it on the streets every day. Indeed, whenever you take a stroll through any streets, you will feel the east. Now, I should also Point out the fact that most "Turks" appear to be rather secular, which is a shame. I suppose that Afghanistan, a country that I have still failed to visit, has an even stronger corporative feeling, but then again, here we are forced to consider that devious concept of the "nation-state", which is really the source of most of these confusions. What was it that Attatürk attempted to do? Well, he, like most other strongmen of the previous Century, did apparently attempt to establish himself above God, above Allah (الله), and this was and is still a grave sin. Now allow me to clarify that practically most "strongmen" throughout history, at one Point or Another indeed did attempt to put themselves, or rather position themselves, above God. Now, if you are a God fearing person, how could you accept this, how could you approve of this? Now, for more on this I can only direct you towards my previous post, "The Hubris of The Modern Man", where I actually delve into greater detail about this matter. Again, it is not my intention to speak on behalf of God, I am simply not qualified to do this, read "Qualification". Now, I will admit that I am under the influence as I am Writing this post: since I am having to travel to the near east from my own unrevealed location, I must admit that I am feeling the jetlag. I am also feeling quite drunk, even though I haven certainly not been drinking any alcohol. It is not like I can drink any alcohol now that I am in a moslem majority country, but even without that prerequisite, I am not someone who tends to drink alcohol. But I am still stricken by my disease in my gallbladder, which has contributed towards my sickly feeling.

    Again, I am by no means drunk, but I am sick and I am still and nonetheless filled with despair. I've been forced to resort to some eating, but because I am sick in my gallbladder, I am stuck unable to eat anything of great substance. But again, these are challenging times, and I am just one part of it all, read "The Eschatology of the Kali Yuga". I should perhaps add that while I am abroad, it is not so much the feeling of being far from home that animates me the most, but rather the feeling of not knowing when I will be able to set sail again. I did not travel to the near east to become overwhelmed by emotion, but this has happened to me regardless, and as such I need to discover an explanation for this condition, temporary though it is. Of course, I flew an aeroplane to reach this Place and I must regret that I decided to travel this way, since I much prefer traveling on slow cruisers across the high seas, but no such mode of transportation was made available to me, and so I was forced and I am still forced to fly by aeroplane; talk about a monstrous machine, and again I do not fancy flying, not at all, read "Mechanical Procedures". But indeed, here I am, for I have been guided by the command of God (Yahweh-Elohim in so-called "Judeo-Christian" tradition. I will be taking some Pictures throughout my travel and I will post them here, but I should add that I am not a traveling blogger, nor do I intend  to ever become a traveling blogger, because I quite simply and frankly refuse to engage in that kind if populism of the lowest common denominator, in this case catering to the feelings of bad, bad people. Dear I even proclaim that most of the populist masses have not even got the slightest idea of what they are doing? Of course not,  but I am repeating myself here. Although, I actually quite like repeating myself, since I find that most things have to be repeated in Life; if something cannot bear being heard again, then that thing must be a product of deceit, read my "Bible Study series". On Another note, I find that the weather conditions here are not in my favour, which means that I may have to figure something out soon, or else I may just have to fly back home in the not so distant future; or, I suppose, I could go back home on a slow cruiser, whatever enables me to better engage in photography, a topic that I have covered in the past and that I intend to cover in the future. Again, I am not someone who prefers to engage in this kind of thing, but I felt that I was called upon to travel to the near east, and because the conditions are so adverse in many parts of the Near East, it was only appropriate for me to travel to Anatolia, Türkiye, the successor state to the Ottoman Empire, although this is sometimes a Point of dispute among certain scholars of history, and again it would carry this post too far afield to attempt to rectify these obvious problems with the history of this region but I will grant that the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman state, was an empire and not a nation-state, again read more about "nation-states" here. Anyways, I Believe that anyone should travel to wherever they have been called upon to visit, and in my case this was Anatolia, and I Believe that my next destination will be former Burma, Myanmar, for reasons that I intend to reveal later.
