The ‘Swastika’ used as your featured image looks a lot prettier than the one used by German Nazi soldiers during the wars and by modern day neo-Nazis, Aryan nation and similar hate groups who look down on people of color as being inferior.

Hi Barnali,

That’s a good blog on the meaning and origin of swastika. It was the Nazi under Adolf Hitler who gave swastika a bad connotation when they adopted it as symbol of the Nazi party and I guess that “hated symbol” had a lasting impression on the mind of the people as symbol of oppression and fascism.

History wise you are right that the swastika symbol is not a bad symbol. Again it is only the NAZI and Hitler who polluted and prostituted the good meaning of the swastika symbol.

I understand that they even outlawed the Nazi Swastika symbol in Europe due to the many war crimes committed by Nazi Germany especially the holocaust of around 6 million Jews.

The reverse is true with the cross as a symbol. It used to be that the cross is a symbol of shame, punishment, and death during the olden days especially at the time of the Roman Empire.

But with the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, for Christians it is no longer a symbol of shame, death and punishment but of salvation and the everything that is associated with our Lord Jesus Christ and Christianity for that matter.

So we can see how the meaning of a particular symbol may change over time depending upon its usage and the interpretation associated with it.

Maybe the super specialty hospital is performing executive check-ups or one that involves so many tests to determine a person’s health status. But only people with so much money can afford it, or those with health cards courtesy of their companies.

I would love to be able to say that nobody really cares. I have no doubt that most, if not all of US would just like to get on with the business of making America better (cause it’s already great!).

But the fact is, while campaigning ~ Trump, the POTUS candidate, created the “Trump-Putin question marks” by putting his own foot in his own mouth. His own words followed him into the White House.

The questions about Russian interference should be answered and not hovering over his administration like a huge gray cloud. A GIANT BLUR!! I’m sorry but it’s just not how to run one of the greatest free nations on the planet. The USA should have clear blue skies and beautiful rainbows; and not dark clouds, ominous shadows, and a “questionable atmosphere”.

Is it too much to ask of any elected U.S. official to MAKE PLAIN to the citizens of this country, who our true allies are and who our real enemies are that threaten US or … who meddle in our affairs? I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request.

The question that I ask; how stupid are people? If someone said that our Prime Minister was an X or influenced by Y, or if all kind of articles appeared in fake news sites about him, we’d snort it away. That is because we think for ourselves.

Stories were made up about Hilary and people believed them
