Hate has never brought families or nations together.

Hate has never brought families or nations together. Revenge has always been a challenging and expensive course to take. Lying has never earned anyone genuine respect. Cheating continues to leave a bitter taste in others' mouths. Fraudsters often find themselves behind bars. Every religion advocates for love, honesty, and dignity. No faith will appoint a liar, cheater, fraudster, hater, or vengeful person as its representative, no matter how much one wishes otherwise. Not Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, or any divine being would choose such individuals as their apostles. It's essential to scrutinize those spiritual leaders who endorse such people, as they may very well share the same negative traits. Before following their guidance, understand their true character and the values they promote, as they can significantly influence society. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #vote #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction

There’s absolutely no shame in reassessing your choices before a deadline arrives. Recognizing that you need to shift your stance can be a powerful indication of personal growth and maturity. It shows you possess the wisdom to acknowledge when your initial decision was shaped by incorrect or misleading information. Consider how you might approach a significant relationship: if you discovered that your partner had a hidden criminal past, it would be reasonable to reevaluate your commitment. Similarly, it would be wise to reconsider if you accepted a job offer but later discovered that the role and company culture differed significantly from what you were initially promised. The same principle applies to political decisions—if you learned that a candidate you were inclined to support had a troubling history of dishonesty or fraud, changing your vote would be both sensible and responsible. This approach underscores the importance of thoroughly verifying information before making any decisions. Life is filled with nuances, and staying informed allows for more thoughtful and effective decision-making. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #vote #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction

Let's look at the positive things for a minute.

Let's look at the positive things for a minute. In a country boasting an unemployment rate of just 4.1%, one of the lowest in the world, an impressive 95.9% of the population is employed. An inflation rate of 2.4%, also among the best globally, indicates that the economy is thriving and functioning at full capacity. The notion that this country is a "third-world" nation on the brink of collapse is merely a narrative spun for the benefit of a select few in politics. Claiming that immigrants somehow taint the fabric of society is ironic, considering that many of us, if not all, have immigrant roots; we all came from different backgrounds to contribute to the nation's success. The belief that fostering hatred among each other will lead to personal advancement is misguided. History has shown us that such attitudes only result in civil wars and significant conflicts, ultimately harming everyone involved. It's time to reconsider some of these entrenched beliefs, conduct thorough research, and critically analyze the information we receive to arrive at a more accurate understanding. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #vote #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction

The strong nation people worldwide admire and strive to join, not flee from. Enough is enough!

The strong nation people worldwide admire and strive to join, not flee from. Enough is enough! As a proud naturalized citizen, I'm fed up with some immigrants and their descendants looking down on others who come from different backgrounds. Let's not forget that most Americans are, in fact, descendants of immigrants—whether you realize it or not. If it's not you, it's your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and beyond. We all share roots in places like Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, not to mention the native Americans from Northeast Asia. This shared immigrant heritage should unite us, not divide us. When asked about their heritage in the U.S., people often respond with pride: "I'm Italian American, Greek American, Irish American, African American, Lebanese American, German American, Turkish American, South African American, Mexican American, etc." Our origins may lie in countries outside the United States, but we celebrate our diverse heritages and enthusiastically honor our ancestors' traditions, appreciating each heritage's unique and invaluable contributions. These unique contributions make our cultural mosaic so vibrant and rich. Each of us brings unique abilities, talents, investments, and creativity to this vibrant mosaic of culture. Together, we've made America the most productive, prosperous, free-to-think and speak minds, and strong nation that people worldwide admire and strive to join, not flee from. Let's stop putting down immigrants; when you do that, you're putting yourselves down too. Instead, let's unite and celebrate our shared immigrant heritage, recognizing our unique contributions to this vibrant mosaic of culture. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #vote

Using logic can save lives!

Using logic can save lives! Using a broom to clean a jungle, causing widespread destruction with an artificial hurricane, or putting out a forest fire with a household water hose is ridiculous and ineffective. Embracing such ideas is irrational and unwise. Even a child can see that these things are unattainable. People who spread such ideas either lack knowledge or think those who believe them are ignorant. Just because someone you admire says those things doesn't make it right. Do your own research, follow Regan's advice, and trust but verify. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Rhetoric, when left unchecked, can be more destructive than an AR-15.

Rhetoric, when left unchecked, can be more destructive than an AR-15. While an AR-15 has the potential to cause harm to 60-120, or possibly 180 people, and injure hundreds more, the unchecked use of exaggeration and sensationalism in rhetoric can incite a civil war. Such a war could result in the deaths of thousands, the injuries of millions, and the displacement of millions more, leading to widespread unemployment, homelessness, and despair. A historical example is the Lebanese civil war, instigated by Lebanese politicians in 1975, and the country hasn't recovered from it yet in 2024. The consequences of not critically evaluating, scrutinizing, and authenticating all statements made by politicians can be dire. We risk the erosion of our freedoms and democracy and the misuse of our votes. It is our responsibility as citizens to prevent such outcomes. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Hey there, new voter!

Hey there, new voter! I may be a stranger to you, but what I'm about to share is crucial, so I'm putting it in writing. Having survived a civil war, I am compelled to inform you that most civil wars stem from misinformation, greedy leaders, selfish motives, and taking advantage of people's naivety. Regardless of the cause, civil wars never lead to positive outcomes. Let's use our power to vote and combat the conspiracies, misinformation, and disinformation that can lead to such devastating conflicts. As the saying goes, you'll thank me later. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian author of "The Immigrant" https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm https://www.amazon.com/s?k=marc+boyajian&asc_source=01HFY6QA7FYP0YEFD1ZY3XMFP8&tag=snx78-20

It was a source of hope for at least a week.

It was a source of hope for at least a week. I was amazed by the incredible harmony on the cruise ship for a whole week. The boat accommodated about four thousand passengers and 1,657 crew members from diverse backgrounds, including people of various races and ethnicities. The passengers ranged from 1-year-old children to individuals over 90 years old and represented a wide range of body types, sexual orientations, gender identities, religious beliefs, and physical abilities. Despite this remarkable diversity, there were no political arguments, fights, or verbal abuse. It was like a living mosaic, a beautiful scene I could admire all day. No one belittled anyone for who they were, and everyone seemed content, whether working or having fun. This sense of unity, despite our differences, was truly inspiring. When we return, I hope to see the same respect and harmony in our communities.

The United States thrives thanks to the valuable contributions of most immigrants.

The United States thrives thanks to the valuable contributions of most immigrants. Contrary to some rhetoric, it's crucial to underscore the diverse and significant contributions of immigrants. Many of us have directly or indirectly benefited from the work of immigrants in a wide range of fields, from gardening and farming to AI technology and scientific research. These contributions have led to inspiring success stories, such as Albert Einstein, a German immigrant https://tinyurl.com/obojphc; Donald Trump, with German and Scottish roots https://tinyurl.com/2acy38jy; Elon Musk, who has Dutch, Swiss, English, and South African heritage https://tinyurl.com/2433muly, and Joseph Pulitzer,   a Hungarian immigrant https://tinyurl.com/2xm3bsjy.These success stories serve as a beacon of hope and possibility for all immigrants. The United States values and respects its immigrants' diverse ancestry, heritage, and patriotism. Many of these individuals have made significant sacrifices, including serving in the military to defend this country. Their dedication and love for this country are a testament to their character and should be deeply respected and admired. Perhaps, instead of simply pushing for the deportation of all immigrants, it would be more beneficial to establish laws and regulations that invite deserving immigrants to the country and allow us to benefit from their contributions. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share

The United States of America, a nation that commands admiration and respect, holds a special place in the hearts of many.

 The United States of America, a nation that commands admiration and respect, holds a special place in the hearts of many. It's a nation that is both envied and feared, all for the same reasons. This is due to the myriad of opportunities that the country offers, which are not only loved and envied by people around the globe but also feared by those who cannot or will not provide such opportunities to their citizens. The US is a melting pot of cultures, with a diverse population that contributes to its unique identity. After careful research and consideration of numerous options, many people find that the United States of America is the most desirable choice when considering the best country to live in or belong to. The country is also the top destination for people who are willing to risk their lives to reach it. There are many reasons for this, including the fact that the United States of America is the most financially stable country, boasts the most powerful military force, and is the wealthiest nation in the world, providing a profound sense of security and stability. One of the most notable aspects of the United States of America is the freedom it offers to its citizens. People of all ages, genders, and economic backgrounds enjoy the freedom to speak, work, create, think, and own things like property, cars, businesses, and education, among other things. This freedom and these opportunities not only empower individuals but also ignite a spark of hope for a better future. The success of the United States of America is primarily due to its democratic system. As such, it is not just important but urgent that the country continue to maintain this democratic system in order to prosper. It is crucial that we continue to uphold the values that have made the United States of America great rather than succumb to regimes that do not share these values. https://Vote.gov Marc Boyajian https://tinyurl.com/2xuwmw2u #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @ followers @highlight #vote #votingrights #voterregistration #Vote2024 #votenow #VoteYourConscience #VoteYourValues #voteyourvoice #VoteSmart #sharethispost #like #share #radicalism #religion #terrorism #videoproduction #actor #filmproduction #directorofphotography #filmmaker #filmmakers #video #movies #production #film #behindthescenes #filmmaking #cinematic #videography #filmphotography #cinema #films #cinematographer #director #producer #indiefilm #filmcrew #photography #setlife #filmdirector #cinematography #filming #bhfyp #movie #shortfilm

Our individual choices can have a significant impact. Please consider the consequences of supporting unethical individuals.

Defending a liar is one thing, but when you start repeating the lies of a liar, you're not just defending; you're contributing to the perpetuation of deceit. Your role in preventing this is crucial. Defending a fraudster is one thing, but when you entrust one as your accountant, you're not just defending; you're potentially inviting a financial disaster. It's important to be cautious and aware of the potential consequences. Defending a murderer is one thing; helping a murderer kill someone is another. Defending a sexual harasser is one thing; hiring a sexual harasser as a guardian for your daughter is another. Defending a con artist is one thing; falling into the con artist's con is another. Defending a stupid person is one thing; repeating the silly stuff they utter is another. Our individual choices can have a significant impact. Please consider the consequences of supporting unethical individuals.

The Trojan Horse occurs when a country's enemies successfully insert it, and the majority of its citizens are utterly enamored with it. But take caution—there can be disastrous outcomes. Imagine a nation torn apart by internal strife, its resources plundered, and its people oppressed. You do not need a battalion of soldiers in the Horse to penetrate a government; one general, preacher or Charlatan is enough if placed strategically, and one can play them as a marionette. A selfish person willing and able to change from one party to another, one wife to another, one position to another, and one lie to another without fearing or paying any consequence is the perfect candidate for this.

End the rhetoric immediately and prevent an imminent civil war. This is not a hypothetical scenario.

https://vote.gov/ End the rhetoric immediately and prevent an imminent civil war. This is not a hypothetical scenario. Just ask any country that has endured a civil war. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated. Civil wars are not isolated incidents. They have occurred globally, impacting various regions and causing significant loss of life and displacement. Listed below are some noteworthy examples: In Africa: - Angolan Civil War (1975-2002): A prolonged conflict involving multiple factions, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. - Rwandan Civil War (1990-1994): Culminated in the 1994 genocide, with an estimated 800,000 people killed. - Sierra Leone Civil War (1991-2002): Known for its brutal tactics, including the use of child soldiers and widespread atrocities. In Asia: - The Afghan Civil War (1978-present): A series of conflicts that have continued for decades, involving various factions and foreign interventions. - Sri Lankan Civil War (1983-2009): Fought between the government and the Tamil Tigers, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. In the Middle East: - Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990): A multifaceted conflict involving various religious and political groups. - Syrian Civil War (2011-present): Ongoing conflict with hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions displaced. In the Americas: - Salvadoran Civil War (1979-1992): A conflict between the government and leftist guerrillas, resulting in significant casualties and human rights abuses. - Guatemalan Civil War (1960-1996): Although it started before 1975, it continued until 1996, with a high toll on indigenous populations. In Europe: - Yugoslav Wars (1991-2001): A series of conflicts following the breakup of Yugoslavia, including the Bosnian War and Kosovo War. These conflicts have profoundly impacted the affected countries, leading to loss of life, economic devastation, and long-term social and political challenges. The consequences of civil wars are not short-lived, but they echo through generations. The search was conducted on Bing, and results were obtained via copilot. https://tinyurl.com/2ak3ughk

I'm probably the last person you'll listen to because I'm not a celebrity or well-known figure in any industry. However, I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be living the American dream after surviving the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War.

I'm probably the last person you'll listen to because I'm not a celebrity or well-known figure in any industry. However, I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be living the American dream after surviving the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War. I feel compelled to convey my point of view because political rhetoric motivated by personal objectives is shortsighted and could have serious effects. Having experienced a similar situation, I am deeply concerned and believe we must act now, united, by prioritizing negotiation and national defense over personal interests to prevent a catastrophic civil conflict. The potential for a positive outcome, if we act now, is immense. Otherwise, we risk causing long-lasting damage to our nation, with children growing up amidst violence, our infrastructure deteriorating, and our currency losing its value. Additionally, other countries could lose faith in our leadership, making recovery incredibly challenging. It is of utmost importance to avoid this bleak future. In Lebanon, every conflicting faction believed they had the upper hand due to support from other countries. However, they later realized this support was based on false hope, as each country had its agenda. Unfortunately, by the time they realized this, the situation had already reached the point of no return. It's crucial not to let history repeat itself. Let's not jeopardize the beauty of this country – we genuinely don't realize what we have until it's gone.

The devastation of civil war is difficult to comprehend unless you have lived through it.

The devastation of civil war is difficult to comprehend unless you have lived through it. The truth is, no one truly wins in a civil war. It perpetuates a destructive cycle that leaves a lasting impact on everyone involved. I experienced the horrors of civil war, where even the most vulnerable factions swiftly became heavily armed through outside support driven by their own agendas. It's crucial not to be swayed by any leader who seeks to push for conflict, mainly if it serves their personal interests. One should not underestimate the impact of civil war. These conflicts inflict deep, interconnected wounds on societies, leading to significant loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, and long-lasting psychological trauma. In the web of destruction that ensues, there are no winners. The human cost is immense, with families torn apart and communities destroyed. Economies are devastated, leading to poverty, unemployment, and a lack of basic services. The social fabric of a country suffers severe damage, eroding trust between different groups and contributing to long-term instability. Even after the conflict ends, there can be ongoing violence, political instability, and a challenging path to reconciliation and rebuilding. This is a stark reminder of the urgent need for peaceful conflict resolution.

Understanding individuals is vital, but it's crucial to acknowledge that this isn't always advantageous, mainly when dealing with people who have engaged in criminal behavior, deceit, fraud, or predatory actions. Conversely, being unfamiliar with someone with no public records of misconduct, maintaining a clean record, and consistently fulfilling their duties can be advantageous, creating an intriguing contrast.

The concept of change can be beneficial when it results in improvement. However, it can also be incredibly harmful when it leads to a decline in quality. Let's consider the stark differences between a functioning American democracy and an oppressive autocratic regime, Autocracy, a term derived from the Greek words "auto," meaning "self," and "Kratos," meaning "power," refers to a system in which an individual holds power to rule. What makes autocracy particularly concerning is the lack of accountability. In a healthy governance system, the ruler, or a small group of individuals, should be answerable to the people, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interest of the society. It's important to note that democracy and autocracy are at opposite ends of the spectrum. In a democracy, power is vested in the hands of the people, either directly or through elected representatives. In stark contrast, in an autocracy, a single individual or a group wields unchecked power with no accountability to the people. This lack of oversight opens the door to potential abuse of power, a sobering reminder of the dangers of autocracy. Repression is rampant in autocracies. However, it's inspiring to see how citizens often find ways to resist and push for change despite the significant challenges they face in their daily lives. This active resistance underscores the power of the people to shape their governance, even in the face of overwhelming odds. https://tinyurl.com/27ttdlf2 https://tinyurl.com/24zpdbsh Marc Boyajian, author of 'The Immigrant,' #books #americandream #America #men #theimmigrant #women #man #woman #everyone #reader #book #immigrant #reading #bookworm #bookish #booktoker #bookclub #writer #immigration #immigrants @followers @highlight #sharethispost #like #share https://tinyurl.com/28dduw6u
