About Guillermo Calvo Mahé

I’ve done many things over the years and I’ve lived in many places. Until 2016 I chaired the Political Science, Government and International Relations Program at the Universidad Autónoma de Manizales in the Republic of Colombia where I taught political science (human rights law, international and supranational law, constitutional theory, government and comparative political systems, history of political ideas, and, North American Studies), served as an English resource to faculty members, translated academic papers, and participated in development of international faculty and student exchange programs for the university. I periodically serve as a political commentator on local media and continue to be active as a writer and artist as well as a translator and interpreter. My university degrees are in political science, law, international legal studies and translation studies. I am active political matters both locally and internationally and have a passion for world affairs and history. I’ve sought spiritual enlightenment all my life but have yet to find definitive answers; I have, however, found an ever increasing and worthwhile, series of questions to speculate on. I am very drawn to the beauty, simplicity and justice of the Wiccan Reede. I love music, dancing, writing, reading, drawing, equestrian sports, tennis and softball. I maintain a warm and supportive ongoing relationship with my three sons in the USA. I was married twice with one serious relationship between the two marriages and also had several wonderful recent relationships. I dislike jealousy and respect the importance of private space and continuing individual growth; however, I also value loyalty and honesty very much and treasure affection.

Cassandra’s Echoes

Cassandra’s Echoes

I heard Cassandra’s ghost declaiming:

“The French President acknowledged a reality that will likely devastate the world, if not soon, eventually, the use of cheap, easily assembled biological and chemical weapons by Isis or the even more dangerous movements that will overtake it, which expand rather than contract with continued use of deadly force against Muslims. It is not reasonable to believe that no group will ever emerge with real leadership capabilities to fight fire with fire and do unto you as you do unto them. Your goals seem to be to postpone that event in the hope that you can just kill them all, men, women and children, an ironic version of Hitler’s solution. You hope that using propaganda, again relying on Hitler’s theories, you can hide reality and ignore the causes of your current crises.

The refusal to eliminate the cause, Israel’s conduct over almost half a century and the related world-wide campaign against Muslims supported by Israeli puppet and US supported Middle Eastern dictatorships will eventually lead to a counter final solution, and trapped by the Israeli inspired final solution to the Muslim Problem and the Muslim reactive final solution, your planet may finally rid itself of its human infestation.”

Healthy though that may prove to the planet in the long term, I mourn for all the positive possibilities that will be lost, unlikely though they may seem today: especially the exploration of deep space, the realization of a brotherhood of man and nature, the unravelling of the great mysteries of nature and of time and of space.

But

None are so blind as those that will not see.”
