Cairo, Egypt

One short mad dash to Cairo before returning to Asia Pacific. Some of my friends revolutionary doctors are in jail or in exiled, people disappeared and tortured. My visit coincided with that of the Pope. I wrote some sarcastic stuff on the subject. In Egypt, Christians supported the military coup from the onset. It was great to get out of there. Vile place, these days.

Lebanon, April 18-29, 2017

Back to Lebanon for some very heavy work at the border with Israel, in Hezbollah areas, and Palestinian refugee camps.

Big work with leading reconstruction surgeon Abu-Sitta from AUB Medical Center, on Ecology of War scientific project.

Also conducting negotiations with my dear friend, a great philosopher John Cobb about our upcoming book on collapse of basic human relationships, on philosophy, ecology and spirituality.

As always, stunning vistas of the sea and snow capped mountains. I drove to the North to revisit Kadisha Valley with its stunning monasteries.

Then back to Beirut with constant appearances on TV and Radio shows.

For now, work became all that matters, as the entire world began collapsing, falling apart. Beirut is a good place to be when insanity rules.

As always it was bizarre and not very pleasant experience, to spend substantial time in Europe. I gathered with the MP's from 5-Star Movement in Italy, went to art exhibition with an Afghan princess, encountered Latin American diplomats and visited art venues... in Paris, Rome, London, Germany... to get the point please read my essay:

"Love, Western Nihilism and Revolutionary Optimism"
