There is no greater evil than that perpetrated on the weak, the innocent and defenseless;  children, animals, the mentally ill and women in godforsaken places where they are treated no better than chattels and beasts of burden. Afghanistan is a case in point. 

Those with power who impose on children, force separation from their mothers and fathers, siblings and families must at some point be accounted for. 

I liken it to war crimes. 

The other members of the ape family treat their children better than many human apes. And to make matters worse, demagogues and brutal dictators justify their actions by claiming it to be ordained by some holy book comprised of superstitious nonsense, human dogma, human designed commandments and created to place in bondage and enslave massive members of the human race.

The hypocrisy and sheer ignorance of these people knows no bounds. All humans at some point in time have been refugees. We all come from somewhere. Every person living outside the Great Rift Valley is a refugee or an immigrant. 

To quote the now infamous line of the incredibly  ignorant Peter Navarro of the Trump administration in his wholly unjustified and downright stupid criticism of Justin Trudeau, Canada's former prime minister, "there should be a special place in hell for these people".  Unfortunately and contrary to the "holy" books, there is no hell. Even Pope Francis of the rapidly becoming irrelevant Catholic Church reportedly told an Italian journalist hell does not exist. 

Of course in today's world of borders, nationalism, terrorism, need for national security and protectionism, there has to be rules and regulation and a degree of security for established citizens of the various countries around the world. However, this regulation should not be to the detriment of the weak, innocent and defenseless. Shame on all the extreme right or left wing, power hungry, dollar chasing, divisive, narcissistic, misogynistic elite who pander to the whims of the ignorant, the superstitious, the fearful, the bigots and the racists of any religion, belief or creed who refuse to believe we are all descendant from the same common ancestor and we all have a duty as humans to protect the weak and defenseless, particularly children.

Let the children go!!!

According to a 2023 report from

Oxfam, the richest 1 percent of the world's population has captured nearly two-thirds of all new wealth created since 2020, totaling $42 trillion, which is nearly twice as much as the bottom 99 percent. This unprecedented accumulation means the top 1% now holds over half of the world's wealth, with billionaire fortunes increasing by $2.7 billion a day while inequality widens. 

Key Findings on Global Wealth Distribution

• Unequal Growth: Since 2020, the richest 1% have grabbed almost double the wealth of the rest of the world combined.
• Decadal Trend: Over the past decade, the top 1% have captured around half of all new global wealth
• Wealth Concentration: Global wealth inequality is rising, with the top 1% holding approximately $52 trillion as of late 2025.
• Impact on Poverty: Despite high wealth concentration, the World Bank has indicated that global efforts to reduce extreme poverty have hit a standstill, with pandemic impacts hindering goals to end it.
• Taxation Inequality: The report highlights that minimal taxes are paid by the wealthiest, contributing to this gap. 

Oxfam suggests that taxing multi-millionaires and billionaires at a rate of up to 5 percent could generate $1.7 trillion annually, which is sufficient to lift 2 billion people out of poverty. 

The top 10% of the world's population controls approximately

75% to 76% of the total global wealth. This wealthiest decile holds the vast majority of global assets—including property, stocks, and savings—while the bottom 50% of the adult population owns only about 2% of the total wealth.

Key Findings on Wealth Concentration:

• Extreme Inequality: The wealth gap has remained high, with the top 10% holding three-quarters of global wealth.
• Individual Wealth: According to the World Inequality Report 2022, an individual in the top 10% holds an average of €550,900 (
  
  USD 771,300), while the bottom 50% owns an average of only €2,900 (
  
  USD 4,100).
• Top 0.001%: The 2026 World Inequality Report indicates that the top 0.001% has seen its share grow, holding over 6% of global wealth, which is three times the wealth of the poorest half of humanity.
• Regional Differences: In highly unequal regions like Russia, Latin America, and India, the top 10% often owns over 70-80% of the wealth.
