Ì àm who i am ❤❤❤❤
I am almost speechless. I have memories, but should i talk about this like a science experiment? Who would believe me? I died in 1982 and then i was born here in the usa. I went back and showed my old family where it happened. How much should i put my experience forward? We choose where we are born
Im glad your doing this. It makes me nervous to talk about for some reason. Like aprehensive
It's ABSOLUTELY EXISTS. I have a lot of theories but we never die. We look like out of body stars. I put them in my dumb music videos. We look like mini stars out of body but we have phantom limb syndrome. I SOUND CRAZY, but how do you tell this to people who have temporary amnesia of it?
I remember things from my last life like you only remember the most sensational parts of a dream you wake up from
It's hard to remember anything. It's not hard to remember it carries a lot of weight and it impacts your new life. Don't expect your parents to understand what you tell them about remembering yourself as a light coming down. They won't understand you. They will try to ask you "do you remember anything about your last life?" If you tell them about the stars and coming down they won't understand you and after a while you just move forward. I didn't remember things about dying my last life until I got older and I started having dreams and memories. I'm pretty sure human consciousness goes through awareness cycles and amnesia cycles maybe? I'm still trying to theorize it out and I am very impressed that you are just like me
I remember being born and crying hearing the fireworks outside because I thought it was another war immediately. I was born within five minutes of my death. I sound crazy, but I have proved it to myself and it is actuality not just coincidental. I showed them the house and I showed my old family that true love never dies. I feel like I accomplished a lot when that happened and it gave me peace that I wasn't crazy. I don't want to be well known for this. .I'm just telling you all because later in the world this will all be common knowledge again I hope
This presentation /lecture is so profound. His take on Frantz Fanon is EXACTLY how parents in the hood perceived and explained the behaviors and mentality of white people. Our parents understood we as Blacks were always trying survive white people's neurosis and their obsession with their lack of any and everything. This lecture could held in any home in the hood and everybody's momma, daddy, and grandparents would reply, "Oh but when I say what that professor just said, yall look at us like we crazy and don't know nothin cuz we ain't got no degrees." And the sad part, it's true. 😫 We pay and borrow hundreds and thousands of dollars to be taught and told the same thing by someone whose diction and vernacular is different from our parents and grandparents. 😩 He is an awesome professor. Outstanding lecture. I'm certain Dr. Joy DeGruy, my parents, and my grand parents would approve. ❤ As we say in the hood, "It's a Black thing. You wouldn't understand it." I totally get it now. Totally.

The pantheon of female beauty in the 20th century highlighted some beautiful women whose beauty no subsequent century will ever diminish. The pantheon of 20th-century female beauty, the Egyptian princess with origins from Korça - Bota Sot They have become symbols of female beauty, and their names stand higher than the beauties declared in beauty salons and national and international contests. There has not been a man who has seen them and not dreamed of such women as Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Greta Garbo, etc. But of all the beautiful women in the world in the 20th century, it was said that one was the most beautiful, who was not a Hollywood actress, a model girl, or a publicly known woman from around the world. She was a princess and at the same time a fanatical queen who would have been ashamed to be declared the most beautiful woman in the world. Her name is Fawzia (Fevzia) Fuad Ali or also known as Fevzia Fuad Shirin. Princess Fawzia was the eldest daughter of King Fuad of Egypt, the first modern Egyptian king, she is also known as the older sister of the unfortunate King Farouk, whom Albanians have heard the most about since he gave refuge to King Zog of Albania after his escape from Albania in April '39. Before we talk about Fevzia, let's say a few words about her royal family and their undeniable Albanian origin, as written by Telegrafi. It is well known that the Egyptian Royal Family was an Albanian family left there since the time of the founder of modern Egypt by the great Albanian general, Mehmet Ali with origins from Zëmblak of Korça (not from Pojani as it is said), sent to Egypt by the Turkish Sultan to suppress the Mamluk rebellion (Mamluk in Arabic means, foreigner or even white) after the withdrawal of Napoleon Bonaparte's army. Mehmet Ali went to Egypt in 1805 at the head of a Turkish army led by a core of 6000 Albanian soldiers, selected by Mehmet Ali himself. He subdued the Mamluks through war and cunning and established his dynasty in Egypt. The Dynasty The reign of Mehmet Ali the Albanian in Egypt is detailed according to numerous documents left by various world personalities of that time. But the greatest merit for the legacy of the Albanian name belongs to Mehmet Ali himself, who could not speak any language other than Albanian and often proudly stated that he was an Albanian, the son of an Albanian, and that he tried to become a good Egyptian (Arab). He began to learn Turkish and Arabic at the age of 45, and at this age, he also began to learn to write for the first time in his life, as Albanian was not a written language. It should be mentioned here that Mehmet Ali did not orient Egypt towards the East and the High Porte, on which it depended, but towards the West, especially towards France and England where he also educated his children. Fevzia was his great-granddaughter, the daughter of Fuat, who was the son of Ismail, the son of Ibrahim Pasha. Her grandfather, Ismail, in 1867 established the high title of Khedive in the Egyptian kingdom, a title that remained until 1914 when his son and Fevzia's father proclaimed himself king and severed all ties with the now-destroyed Turkish Empire. After 1917 he would be called sultan and after 1923, he would again be proclaimed king. Building Modern Egypt Egypt, with its beautiful buildings and modern infrastructure, is largely the work of Ismail, as well as laying the foundation for the construction of the Suez Canal, which would be completed by his son Fuat together with his brother Said, after whom Port Said is named. One of his most beautiful works is the transformation of the barren island at the mouth of the Nile River into an Earthly Paradise. Today, it is the largest cultural and artistic center in Egypt and bears an Albanian name. It would be King Ismail who would transform Egypt into one of the most cosmopolitan countries and pave the way for modernization. Educated in Paris and Vienna, an excellent speaker of several European languages, although he wore the traditional Turkish fez on his head, he admired Europe. And he endeavored that, during his reign, Egypt would rival the most powerful royal courts of Europe. During his regime, the colony of Albanians in Egypt, or as it was known, "The Albanians of Egypt," saw a significant increase. Albanians were mainly settled in Cairo and Alexandria and held key positions in the Egyptian administration and army. This dynasty ruled in Egypt for 147 years, until 1952 when King Farouk was expelled from Egypt through a military coup, led by generals Muhammad Naguib and Jamal Abd An-Nasser, who forcibly installed their governments in Egypt from June 18, 1953. Here ended forever the Albanian Dynasty of Egypt. The descendants of this Dynasty today live in Switzerland. Fuad I, Father of Fevzia From the second marriage of Sultan Fuad, (in 1917 he proclaimed himself Sultan of Egypt), with Mrs. Nazli Sabri (1894-1978) on May 26, 1919, in Bostan Sarai, would be born the most beautiful girl in Egypt and the world, Fevzia, (according to the sayings of all those who had seen her). Fevzia's mother was the daughter of Abdu’r-Rahim Pasha Sabri, former Minister of Agriculture and mayor of Cairo with also Albanian origin. His wife was Tefika Kahnum, granddaughter of the former Foreign Minister of Egypt, who came from a family with Franco-Albanian blood. (Granddaughter of Suleiman Pasha, a high-ranking French officer of Napoleon Bonaparte who had converted to Islam) Fuad would have five children; Princess Fajza, Princess Fevzia, Faika, Fathia, and a son, the future King Farouk. Fuad died in Kaba Sarai in Cairo and was buried in the Khedival Mausoleum in the ar-Rifai mosque in Cairo. Khedive Ismail (Fevzia's grandfather) and Fuad's father was not a man limited by politics. He had a fiery passion for constructions and adjustments in the most modern way of the time in Egypt governed by Albanians. The modern infrastructure of Egypt is his work, as well as the industrial base for the construction of the Suez Canal is also his work. Three of his sons and one grandson joined the reign of the Albanian Dynasty in Egypt inherited from Mehmet Ali. Fevzia's father, Fuad, was the twelfth and youngest son of Ismail. He would be one of the most anti-Ottoman kings who opposed the Ottoman Empire with his Western culture. It was this time when Egypt came under the influence of Great Britain. To protect itself from Russian-Turkish-French attacks, Egypt was placed under British protectorate, and the sultanate was proclaimed. Unfortunately, Egypt was not truly an independent state. During this period, under the support of England, Fuad was transformed from a prince into the Sultan of Egypt and then into a king, thus becoming the first king of the Alban

I enjoyed the dialogue
I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Ba’adan Ibb province from 1988-90. Loved my time there.
To put into perspective Noura’s presentation, we need to understand the ideological principles of Zionism using the writings of Jabotinsky. Jabotinsky states that “Zionism is a colonizing adventure, and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force.” Now we can understand what is going on in Gaza.
This is very interesting and educational too!
Such an incredibly smart & thoughtful
Impeccable
Kyle, are you from Irbid, Jordan?
This is all FASCINATING
Cope.
ah yes, I too enjoy watching crusty videos
Iraq needs external or international change. Iraq is destroyed and is occupied by Iran whose resources and wealth have been stolen. Aid must be provided to the demonstrating Iraqis, legitimacy lifted from the failed ruling regime in Iraq, or a comprehensive change in Iraq through international efforts.
masorti carta
I've read the book "Protesting Jordan". I love it! very representative of the tangible and intangible truths on the ground in Jordan. The stories mentioned and written are spot-on. The narration/analysis in the book of imaginary spaces and the deep/historical dynamics behind/within authority and dissent. Not only did I see us in the book, but the book drove me to read dozens of other related books that Schwedler refers to. Great read, worth buying right away.
You should be thankful to America, you have a democracy in Iraq after the dictatorship.
It would be better if we, the US, spent a lot of time reflecting on Iraq and Afghanistan, what we did, why, before diving into the next one. Thank you for this content.
Well said, I learned a lot from what I heard. Thank you all.
Shireen wasn't murdered ,she was assassinated by Zionist government and the order to assassinate her was issued by the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

Her legacy will live on for many decades to come as a testament to freedom.

44:00 So basically you are saying that because some random kids, who we cannot monitor 24/7 and make sure the parents or society is not coercing them, is proof that reincarnation is real? Empirical evidence? Wtf kind of scientific method is this? LOOL.
Nope that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying the IDEA that it might be provable scientifically is a big part of why it has received renewed interest among Druze in the 20th Century. My work has nothing to do with proving or not proving reincarnation but rather how beliefs about reincarnation function in Druze culture.
I understand, but wasn't this put in one frame called wars and trauma? Don't we know about reincarnations that do not involve such tragedies?
@@malekrasamny4591 Hi Malek, I really appreciate your work. It's highly educational and engaging. I just had a question for you regarding the non religious Druze who make the transition to mashayesh, particularly the Druze who were born and raised in western countries. Have you come across any individuals like this who have chosen this path, and would you ever consider a podcast or academic paper on this subject? I know of Druze who were born and raised in North America, and later decided to devote themselves fully to the faith, but I don't know too much about their journey and what brought about that calling, however, I would be very interested to learn more. Thank you!
@@powerwithin8844 Indeed that would be a very interesting topic worthy of discussion. I am actually coming to the United States in October to do research on/with the Druze community there...perhaps we could exchange emails it might be interesting to be in touch
@@powerwithin8844 That is a very intersting idea. I am in Lebanon now doing research but will be in the US in October to work with the Druze community in the US, would be good to stay in touch. I would love to meet such individuals and incorporate that topic into my research.

How embarrassing for GMU that they hosted this.
When was Iraq not Corrupt ???
Which (occupying )country is not corrupt?

Too bad The US did not leave Saddam in power he knew how best to deal with these ungrateful bunch sad how Tax Payers money is funding George Town and what do we get for it a bunch of subversives !
Thank you a thousand times over for taking this initiative. I first came across Bently's work when researching Chadian Arabic, and now that I'm researching about Saharan Arabic, i came across this video. You guys have managed to articulate much of what has been on my mind and a part of my realisations and observations. Wishing you all the best in your endeavours!

The Syrian Emergency Task Force is an organization established to support the Syrian opposition. While it is essential to rush humanitarian assistance to rebel-held areas of Syria, this presentation is entirely too political. Politics impeding humanitarian efforts are fair targets for criticism, but politics diverting attention to the civil war are out of place in this discussion. Furthermore, diverting attention away from the earthquake victims in government-controlled areas is itself politics!
Question for Muzna Dureid (and only for Muzna Dureid): Why do the White Helmets not rescue people in government-held regions of Syria? Aleppo and Latakia are also earthquake disaster areas.
this is an incredible offer to understand the stat of the durable solution of internal displaced people in Iraq.
thank you this really helped me with my research
