Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | Does Short Blogging Wins the Internet? - Powered by Blogger

I just read an article written by Burk, a member of the Medium community, titled “Why Short Blogging Wins the Internet.” To me, it seems reasonable and quite captivating.

But a few questions popped into my head: Is it really true that short blogging wins the internet? What kind of "internet" is he referring to? The algorithm? How can he be so sure that short blogging dominates online content? If he has data or reference sources to support his theory, I’d be glad to hear them.

This is my actual personal lappy at home which used almost 24/7. Old fashion laptop but still worth it. Photo by Asep Haryono

The Goal of Writing a Blog Post
Let’s say you’re writing about your experience cooking on Mount Everest. Of course, that kind of story deserves a long and detailed article. I’d call it an article or even a narrative. It should be complete like a flowing river without necessarily asking readers to leave a comment.

You’re simply telling your own story. Whether you get comments or not doesn't really matter. Just like writing in a diary and that’s totally fine. You can still share your story with the world and let people engage whenever they want.

The bottom line is this: your reason for writing matters more than the word count.


Algorithm? Just Drop It.
If you're sharing opinions about world events like the Iran–Israel conflict, Trump’s campaign, human rights issues, or human trafficking tell us everything. Say what you want to say, whether it's 100 words or 1,000.

Don't get stuck thinking about DA (Domain Authority), PA (Page Authority), SS (Spam Score), keywords, or SEO tricks. Yes, those things have their place. But they should never stop you from expressing your thoughts freely.

You don’t need to be an SEO expert or digital strategist. Just write. Just blogging. And keep going. Your voice matters more than your ranking.

Its me when I was young LoL. I meant by this photo taken during my visit to Bali last December 2010.  I was writing on my personal laptop at the hotel room. Writing a blog post at that moment? ow Absolutely

Don’t Write for Likes. Write for Love
You can spend hours writing a long, beautiful article simply because you want to  not because you’re chasing likes or shares. This isn’t YouTube. People don’t have to give you a thumbs up to validate your writing.

At one point, I had 2,700 page views a day, yet only 8 people left comments. You know what? That didn’t bother me at all. Knowing that thousands of people read my article was more than enough it made me feel over the moon!

My Opinion
Writing long blog posts is not a crime. Just do what you love. Be yourself. Share your ideas, thoughts, or suggestions in your blog post and let the world read it.
Write. Publish. Repeate.

"What’s your take on short vs. long blogging?

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!"

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | Just Apply a Blog Template? No, I Need Basic HTML to Make My Dream Blog Come True - Powered by Blogger

Just Apply a Blog Template? No, I Need Basic HTML to Make My Dream Blog Come True I’ve visited several blogs from some of you and took the time to analyze them. It seems that many of my fellow bloggers overseas simply pick a blog template and apply it straight away without making any changes. It’s nice, practical, and easy just upload the XML file and you’re done.

But here's the issue: I noticed that many blog posts feature huge photos that aren’t positioned properly. Sometimes they go beyond the layout or appear oversize. Sure, photos help make your posts look more attractive and colorful but if the images are too big, they can slow down your blog’s loading speed. This might not be a big deal if your internet is super fast, but it can be a problem for readers with average or slower connections.

I’ve been using this magazine-style template for years. It’s actually a free template. With my basic knowledge of HTML, Adobe Photoshop, and a bit of JavaScript, I’ve been able to customize it by adding elements like sound effects, online forms, running text, drop-down menus, create banners and more

Choosing a blog template whether free or paid is easy. You just pick one you like, apply it, and your blog instantly looks different. But for me, it’s not that simple.

A blog or website will always rely on HTML (HyperText Markup Language) because HTML is its foundation. Even though you can create a website or blog nowadays with just a few clicks, I still think it’s important to understand a little bit about basic HTML, right?

Now, I won’t go into all the HTML basics here you can find plenty of tutorials for that. But at the very least, you should learn a few key tags or codes that are often used to build blog content: h\ow to insert links, display images, change font colors, create line breaks, and so on.

For me, understanding HTML is essential when it comes to customizing blog templates. It’s the foundation that allows me to structure my blog pages the way I want. With HTML, I can arrange the text, images, and other elements in a way that matches my personal style and preferences.

I’m lucky to have spent about a year learning the basics of HTML JavaScript and Adobe Photoshop as well It’s given me the ability to modify templates, add new features, and adjust the layout exactly how I want it.

And it gets even better if you also have some basic image editing skills, like using Adobe Photoshop or similar tools. That’s how you take your blog to the next level making it not just professional-looking, but also a fun project that truly reflects your personality

"I just can not accept the template just like that. I cannot take it for granted. I am not satisfied with the layout setting on the dashboard of Blogspot for creating my dream blog based on the template. That is why the knowledge of basic HTML, JavaScript and Adobe Photoshop as well.

JavaScript will always help me greatly to add a sound inside my Blog post, make a drop-down menu and many other captivate effects for my blog which can be like a pro

The combination of three magic stuffs can make my dream blog comes true. Yes indeed, I need to make some changes in HTML view. I have a basic HTML so I do not have any problem to locate and find the location that I would like to make any changes"



I was the first-place winner of a blog design competition twice—in 2012 and 2013—across West Kalimantan Province. You can check out my record of achievements in blog competitions here

"This is the EDIT HTML section. It contains a lot of scripts, including JavaScript. If you have basic HTML knowledge, you’ll probably have no trouble finding the right file, locating the code, or adding image tags here.

That’s exactly how I feel now. I’m really satisfied with the template I use. I’ve stuck with this news/magazine-style layout for more than seven years. If you’ve visited my blog, you’ll see the theme is news-based, with unique features like background sound and custom banners.

Thanks to my HTML knowledge and some Photoshop skills, I’ve turned a basic blog template into something that feels truly mine something I’ve always dreamed of.

What about you?
Have you tried customizing your blog using HTML?
Its optional by the way.

If you are busy, and do not have much time to customize your blog is fine.  That is really fine.  Its optional. You are free

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | My Blog Theme is a NEWS or Magazine Style - Powered by Blogger

I really appreciate when a fellow blogger shared their thoughts about how my blog shows posts. They said most blogs usually list posts in order, with the newest at the top, then the next newest below, and so on.

But they noticed my blog is a bit different  kind of scattered around and non-linear  which makes it hard to tell the order of posts. They mentioned this might make some people unsure where to start or maybe less likely to interact. I get that sometimes simpler really is better.

But honestly, that’s just not my style.

 Every blogger has their own way of presenting their blog. You’ve got your own style and theme, and I respect that. It’s your blog — well done! I have my own style for my blog too, and I hope you can respect that. It’s not cool to criticize how someone else displays their posts, especially since I’ve never criticized your blog.

We should respect each other’s choices.

If my blog seems non-linear or scattered, it’s because my theme is news or magazine style. That means it shows lots of different categories, so visitors can pick and choose which articles they want to read or comment on first.

It obviously display many catagories in which every people or visitor to my blog can decide or choose which one of those articles they would like to start reading or commenting.is

Benefits of Using a News or Magazine Theme for a Blogger Like me

If you're a blogger like me—publishing informative articles regularly on topics like travel destinations you might be wondering: What kind of blog layout works best for my content?

Well, let me introduce you to one of the most underrated yet powerful layouts in the blogging world: the News or Magazine-style theme.

Here’s why this layout could be a game-changer for my blog:

1. Professional and Organized Appearance
First impressions matter. A news-style theme immediately gives your blog a polished, trustworthy vibe—like a real online magazine or news outlet. This kind of setup neatly divides your content into sections (Business, Finance, Travel, etc.), features highlighted sliders, breaking news tickers, and attractive article thumbnails. It’s like CNN meets your blog!

2. Easy Navigation for Readers
We all know visitors don’t want to scroll endlessly just to find what they’re looking for. Magazine themes make this easier by grouping your posts under menus, categories, and tags. For example, a reader looking for “SWIFT code in Singapore” can find it right under the “Asia” or “Finance” tab without a fuss. This means more time on your blog and fewer people bouncing away.

3. Content-Rich Layout = More Articles Displayed
Are you planning to write hundreds of articles (like me)? Then you need a layout that supports content-heavy blogs. Unlike traditional blog themes that only show the latest posts, magazine themes display grids, blocks, and carousels for popular, featured, and latest articles. This keeps your older but valuable posts visible and discoverable.

4. Better SEO and Click-Through Rates
Google loves structured, well-linked blogs—and readers do too! A news-style layout often includes widgets for related posts, trending tags, and top stories, which boosts your internal linking strategy. The result? Improved search rankings and more article views per visitor.

5. Built for Monetization
Planning to make some income from your blog in the future? These themes are typically designed with monetization in mind. You can easily place Google Ads, affiliate banners, or sponsored content without disrupting the reader experience. Think of it as a blog that works hard for you in the background.

6. Builds Authority in Your Niche
Whether you’re writing about banking systems or international landmarks, how your blog looks matters as much as what it says. A magazine-style design sends a signal to readers and search engines alike: “This blog is a serious resource.” That alone can elevate your status in your niche over time.

"I don’t take free blog themes for granted they’re super helpful for my blog. Luckily, I know a little bit of HTML HyperText Markup Language. It’s the standard language used to create and structure content on the web  like text, images, links, and more., so I can tweak and customize the themes to match my own style.".

Summary
If you're planning to turn your blog into a valuable, well-organized, and monetizable content hub, a news or magazine theme might just be your best investment—especially if you're covering various global topics.

As I mentioned earlier at the beginning of this post, you are free to use any blog theme you like. You wanna get simple theme, that is okay. And its fine obviously. I always respect that

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | Why I Don’t Use Comment Moderation on My Blog - Powered by Blogger

"Your comments will be visible after approval."  No being offended please.That message never really applies to my blog. Comments usually show up right away, unless someone uses offensive or inappropriate language. Sometimes, when I’m leaving a comment on someone else’s blog, I write it from the bottom of my heart and hope it’ll appear instantly. When it does, it feels amazing—like I’m floating in heaven! I feel so proud knowing that my words are out there, ready to be seen and read by anyone in the world..

Why I Don’t Use Comment Moderation on My Blog?
 I’ve noticed that many Indonesian and international bloggers like to set their blogs to "moderate mode." This means all comments written by their readers must first be verified and approved by the blog owner before being published.

This is a good way to prevent harsh messages and rude comments that might disturb or offend the blog owner or other readers. That’s perfectly fine—it’s your blog, your rules, and I fully respect that.

Comment moderation is an optional feature that any blogger—regardless of where they’re from—can choose to use. Is it wrong for a blogger to filter or review comments before they appear on their site? Absolutely not. Bloggers, whether Indonesian or from anywhere else in the world, are in full control of their blogs, and that includes the comments section

As I mentioned earlier, bloggers can choose to publish comments immediately or review them first. It’s up to them to decide when they feel comfortable and safe doing so. Once they are, the comments can be shared publicly for the world to see. Again, I respect your decision to use moderation—you are responsible for your blog, and you take care of it in your own way.

Cartoon emoji holding a 'Freedom of Speech' sign under the bold title 'Why I Don’t Use Comment Moderation on My Blog' on a beige background

"If you have different or dissenting opinion to me its perfectly normal.  Its part of free speech.   The problems is when you are swearing, using bad words and with full of hatric and that can not be considered as an accountable opinion.

Now, I ask you to respect my decision not to use moderation on my blog

Freedom of Speech
When I come across a rude or harsh comment on one of my blog posts, I simply delete it. This also applies to comments that include product links or obscene or pornographic content. I delete those too. Why? Because those aren’t opinions—they're spam or offensive material.

So, what kind of comments do I consider genuine opinions?

It’s simple.

Even if a reader criticizes my article, I welcome that. That’s freedom of speech. Sure, it can be painful to be criticized by someone you don’t even know, especially in front of other readers. But I try to focus on the positive side of their thoughts. Their comments are not an attack on my personality or reputation—they are expressing ideas, suggestions, and criticisms, and I always respect that.

The only time comments become a problem for me is when they include offensive or inappropriate language, sarcasm used to belittle, or hateful opinions without any clear reasoning. While readers have the right to share their thoughts, freedom of speech does not mean freedom to offend without consequence. If criticism is constructive, even if it hurts, I can take it and accept it.

I respect your ideas, suggestions, and even your frustrations. Like I said before, the only comments I have a problem with are those filled with offensive language, hatred, or sarcasm with no purpose other than to attack. That’s not the kind of dialogue that I want on my blog.

Drop a comment (yes, unmoderated!) and let’s chat about how you handle feedback on your blog. Just keep it respectful—freedom of speech, not freedom to be rude

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | What is a SWIFT Code and Why It Matters in International Remittance - Powered by Blogger

What is a SWIFT Code and Why It Matters in International Remittance Introduction If you've ever tried sending or receiving money from another country, chances are you've heard someone mention a "SWIFT code."

At first, it might sound like some kind of spy gadget or computer jargon — but in the world of international banking, it's one of the most important details you’ll need. So, what exactly is a SWIFT code, and why is it such a big deal in international remittances? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

What is a SWIFT Code, Really?
SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. In plain English, it's the global system banks use to communicate securely with each other. When you’re sending money internationally — whether through your bank or a remittance service — that transaction needs to be directed to the exact bank and even the specific branch of the recipient. That’s where a SWIFT code comes in.

A typical SWIFT code looks something like this: CHASUS33XXX. Here’s how it breaks down:
• CHAS = Bank code (JPMorgan Chase)
• US = Country code (United States)
• 33 = Location code
• XXX = Optional branch identifier

This code is like the bank's international "address" for receiving money.

Why It’s Important for International Transfers
Let’s say your cousin in Canada wants to send you some money to your bank account in Indonesia. Her bank will ask for two main things: your bank account number and the SWIFT code of your Indonesian bank. Without the correct SWIFT code, the transfer might be delayed, misrouted, or even rejected entirely.

It’s especially important for freelancers, digital nomads, international students, and overseas workers who depend on smooth international payments. A small error in the code can cause big headaches.

Example Scenario: Sending Money to Bank Mandiri in Jakarta
Imagine you're a content creator in Jakarta working with clients from the US. One of your clients wants to pay you via bank transfer. You would provide them with:

• Your account number
• Your full name as registered with the bank
• The SWIFT code: BMRIIDJA (Bank Mandiri, Jakarta)

With this info, their bank can send the payment directly to your local account, and you’ll usually receive it within 1–3 business days depending on the bank’s processing time.

How to Find a SWIFT Code
There are a few easy ways:
• Check your bank's official website
• Look at your online banking profile
• Ask your bank's customer service
• Use official SWIFT code directories (be cautious — some third-party sites are not always accurate)

Quick Tip: Don’t Confuse It with IBAN
Some countries use an IBAN (International Bank Account Number), which is different from a SWIFT code. While SWIFT tells which bank, IBAN tells exactly which account. In many transfers, both are required.

Fun Fact
Over 11,000 financial institutions across 200+ countries use SWIFT codes — it’s truly a global system!

Conclusion
Understanding what a SWIFT code is can save you from a lot of stress and confusion when dealing with international remittances. It may look like just a string of letters and numbers, but this little code ensures your money gets where it needs to go — quickly and securely. Whether you're sending money to family, getting paid by clients abroad, or receiving support from overseas, knowing your SWIFT code is essential.

So next time someone asks for it, you’ll know exactly what to say — and why it matters.

Inilah RESIKO nya jika kamu terlambat Memperpanjang DOMAIN Blog Hampir Saya pelanggan rumahweb mungkin sudah belasan tahun. Sudah banyak nama nama domain yang saya register, walaupun semuanya expired alias tidak diperpanjang karena client saya tidak memperpanjang lagi. Namun ada 1 (satu) domain yang saya miliki, yang kalau saya tidak salah berdasarkan data dari clientzone akun saya di rumahweb Domain Registration - simplyasep.com - 1 tahun (09/09/2014 - 08/09/2015) yang masih ada datanya dari sekarang.

Ini sudah membuktikan bahwa domain simplyasep.com adalah saya pemiliknya yang sah. Nah jika kamu kamu meng WHOIS nama domain itu, makan yang tercetak di sana adalah nama pendaftar Porkbun LLC adalah pencurinya.  Itu adalah PELAKOR digital alias perebut DOMAIN orang.  Kesal? Ya tentu.  Namun saya juga mengakui bahwa ini kesalahan fatal (fatal mistake) saya juga karena tidak mengindahkan warning (peringatan) atau reminder dari Rumah web.

Tiga kali rumahweb mengirimkan pesan via email kepada saya agar segera memperpanjang sewa domainnya, namun saya tidak saya indahkan kaena berbagai sebab (termasuk sebab belum ada duit saat itu-red), akhirnya nama domain itu terhapus, lalu available, hingga direbut sama mas Porkbun LLC itu. FYI , dalam hal urusan domain, siapa yang cepat (meregister) maka dia yang dapat..   

Bayangkan domain yang sudah saya jaga baik baik hingga mendapat score DA (Domain Authority) dan PA (Page Authority) kini lenyap karena "kemalasan" saya terlambat memperpanjang sewa domain.  Nah sekarang saya kembali ke masa masa dimana saya menggunakan nama domain gratisan di Blogspot hingga sekarang.

Saya sudah coba mengintai kembali nama domain kesayangan saya tersebut, namun selalu keduluan sama si pelakor tadi, yang lebih cepat memperpanjang nama domain saya itu hingga saat tulisan ini naik, masih dia pegang.  Its ridiculous buddy.  What they did to me just what Israel have done to Palestine. A thief will never be able to become an owner. I am telling you.

Dan itu mungkin menjadi salah satu alasan mengaopa sudah lebih dari 2 (dua) tahun ini saya jarang menulis. 

Bagaimana kalau saya mendaftar nama domain baru yang lebih personal dan classy seperti menggunakan nama sendiri?  Hmm itu juga sudah menjadi bahan pertimbangan saya bahkan sederet nama nama domain baru sudah ada saya tulis dan catatannya yang 1 lembar berisi nama nama domain baru sudah ada dilaci saya. Kapan realisasinya untuk mendaftar nama domain baru?  Well. I am not sure. I have no idea. Do you have any idea to what I suppose to do with this stuff? (Asep Haryono)

Tag : Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | The Enigmatic Origins of "Hotel California" by the Eagles - Powered by Blogger

The Eagles' 1977 hit song "Hotel California" has captivated music enthusiasts for decades, with its haunting melody, evocative lyrics, and mysterious symbolism. This research paper delves into the true stories and inspirations behind this iconic track, uncovering the multifaceted influences that converged to create one of the most acclaimed and enduring songs in rock history.

 Contrary to popular belief, the "Hotel California" does not refer to a specific hotel, but rather serves as a metaphor for the decadence, excess, and spiritual emptiness that characterized the 1970s in the United States. The song's lyrics, penned by Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey, draw upon their personal experiences and observations of the music industry, the counterculture movement, and the societal changes that were unfolding at the time.

Photo taken from Photo courtesy https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/

The term "Hotel California" itself was inspired by a real-life experience Henley had while staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he witnessed the hedonistic and self-indulgent behavior

of the hotel's wealthy patrons. The song's haunting and evocative imagery, such as the "dark desert highway," the "shimmering light," and the "master's chamber," have been the subject of much debate and interpretation over the years. Some have suggested that the "Hotel California" represents a metaphor for the corrupting influence of fame and success, while others have interpreted it as a commentary on the spiritual and moral decay of American society.

 Musically, the song's intricate guitar work, featuring the iconic dual lead guitar lines played by Felder and Joe Walsh, has been widely praised and studied by musicians and music theorists alike. The song's extended instrumental section, which features a virtuosic guitar solo, has become one of the most recognizable and iconic moments in rock music history. The recording of "Hotel California" was a complex and challenging process, with the band spending countless hours refining and perfecting the track.

The song's final form, which features a seamless blend of rock, folk, and classical influences, is a testament to the Eagles' exceptional musicianship and attention to detail. In conclusion, the true stories behind "Hotel California" are multi-layered and complex, reflecting the band's unique perspectives on the social, cultural, and spiritual upheavals of the 1970s. The song's enduring popularity and critical acclaim are a testament to the power of music to capture the zeitgeist of an era and to resonate with listeners across generations. (From many resources)

Tag : Keseharian, Teknik Blogging - Asep Haryono | The Truth Behind Christmas - Powered by Blogger

Christmas, a time-honored celebration observed by millions worldwide, has long been shrouded in myths and misconceptions. The origins of this beloved holiday can be traced back to pre-Christian traditions, with its modern incarnation shaped by a complex interplay of religious, cultural, and commercial influences. (Deacy, 2016) (Miller, 2017)

Contrary to popular belief, the exact date of Jesus's birth is not definitively known, and the decision to celebrate it on December 25th was likely a strategic move by the early Christian church to coincide with existing pagan festivals (Miller, 2017).

As one source notes, "most of the festivals and rites that were once celebrated have at least in the more metropolitan areas practically disappeared. By contrast Christmas has been the one festival that has secured official backing and increasing commercial attention, so that today it is as though all the other festivals had been emptied out and replaced by this one last celebration that now stands as the symbol of the very idea of an annual festival" (Miller, 2017).

The traditions associated with Christmas, such as the Christmas tree, gift-giving, and Santa Claus, have their roots in a diverse array of cultural and religious practices. The significance of place in the celebration of Christmas is also noteworthy, with the home often being the ideal locus for the festivities.

While the commercialization of Christmas has been a source of criticism, the holiday's enduring appeal and global reach are a testament to its ability to adapt and evolve over time. As one scholar suggests, "the attention given to composite landscapes and individual dwellings suggests that place, as well as time, is important to the celebration.

By definition Christmas is a season, but as a festival it has a certain locus: to borrow a phrase from Peter Jackson, it literally "takes place."" (McGreevy, 1990) The truth behind Christmas is a complex and multifaceted story, one that encompasses the interplay of ancient traditions, religious beliefs, and modern commercial interests.

Despite the critiques, the enduring appeal of Christmas lies in its ability to bring people together and create a sense of shared joy and meaning, even in the face of a fast-paced consumer culture. (Miller, 2017) (McGreevy, 1990) (Deacy, 2016) .

DW News Minggu lalu Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu berdiri di hadapan AS Kongres di Washington dan menempatkan rezim ran dan pejuang proksinya Hizbullah dan Hamas sebagai Teoris dan ancaman bagi Israel.

Namun sayangnya PM Netanyahu tidak sedikitpun menyinggung usual Gencatan senjata. Kini dunia kembali dikejutkan dengan berita Tewasnya Pemimpin Hamas Ismael Haniyeh, seorang komandan Hizbullah dan pemimpin politik Hamas. Sejauh ini belum ada klaim bertanggung jawab atas pembunuhan Haniyeh dan bahkan Iran secara tegas menyalahkan Israel dan bersumpah balas dendam AS

Sahabat Pembaca Blog yang budiman

Seperti yang diberitakan, Haniyeh berada di Teheran Iran,  untuk menghadiri peresmian atau pelantikan presiden Iran yang baru terpilih Dia (Ismail Haniyah-red) dilaporkan terbunuh sebelum waktu fajar.  Banyak analis memperkirakan bahwa serangan udara yang menewaskan Haniyeh ini dikuatirkan aakhirnya bisa memicu perang habis-habisan di Timur Tengah setelah serangan  7 Oktober tahun lalu

Di pihak Israel bersumpah dan , sejak tanggal 7 Oktober tahun lalu memang sudah berjanji untuk membunuh para pemimpin HAMAS (termasuk Haniyeh-rd) dan para pemimpin HAMAS lainnya Pemimpin Hamas.  Ketika Kantor Berita DW mengonfirmasi kematian Haniyeh kepad Israel,Perdana Menteri Israel Benyamin Netanyahu tidak mengatakan apa-apa tentang kematian Pemimpin HAMAS Senior itu dan bahkan mengatakan bahwa Israel akan menepati Janjinya dan menuntut HAMAS akan akan membayar mahal untuk setiap agresi melawannya di front dimanapun


Teori Konspirasi Dan Kejanggalan
Seperti yang kita ketahui bahwa Ismail Haniyeh dan seorang pengawal tewas dalam serangan terhadap tempat tinggal di Teheran  Pihak berwenang di Teheran pun sontak  mengutuk aksi brutal Israel kali ini.

Dan sejumlah Teori Konspirasi dan Kejanggan pun mulai mengemuka.  Banyak analis meragukan kebenaran Berita Tewasnya Ismael Haniyeh ini dan menganggap sebagai TRIK untuk dijadikan sebhgai Justifikasi (Pembenaran) untuk menyerang Israel.  Dalam hal ini sejauh ini belum ditemukan bukti otentik dan fakta fakta Tewasnya Pemimpin Senior Hamas itu.  Tidak ada video bekas penyerangan atau serangan udara terhadap Pemimpin Iran tersebit.  Tidak ada Video jenasahnya ditampilkan. 

Beberpa pertanyaan "Nakal" pun mengemuka.  Jika itu merupakan serangan Udara, mengapa TEHERAN yang dikenal memiliki persenjataan canggih tidak dapat mendeteksi masuknya pesawat asing menyerang negaranya?  Dimana fungsi Intelijen atau Badan Rahasia IRAN hingga bisa "kecolongan seperti itu?  Jika itu berupa serangan rudal, mengapa hanya 2 orang yang tewas yakni Haniyeh dan seorang Pengawalnya, sedangkan dia berada dalam sebuah pemukiman yang banyak penduduknya.


Kesepakatan Pembebasan Sandera
Gencatan Senjata yang digaungkan oleh dunia International, seolah tidak berbekas taau bahkan tidak digubris oleh kedua belah pihak baik HAMAS maupun Israel. Belum lagi dengan keputusan International Court Of Justice (ICJ) Di Denhaag dengan mengeluarkan perintah ISRAEL untuk segera keluar dari Gaza karena pendudukanya atas Gaza adalah Ilegal juga tidak diperdulikan oleh Israel.

Di dalam negerinya sendiri, ISRAEL mendapat tekanan dari rakyatnya sendiri terutama dari para keluarga Sandera yang menekan PM Israel unjtuk segera membebaslan para sandera yang masih ditawan HAMAS dan Sepakati Gencatan Senjata juga tidak diindahkan oleh PM Benyamin Netanyahu.   Dari sini kita bisa melihat bahwa Rakyat Isarel berbeda 100 derajat dengan Para Pemimpinnya.  Israel kini lebih didominasi oleh kemauan dan ambisi pribadi sang Perdana Menteri untuk melanggengkan kekuasaanya di Israel.   

Di sisi lain, ketegangan dan Eskalasi antara ISRAEL dengan Lebanon kian semakin memanas. Berbagai analis memperkirakan jika perang besar terjadi antara HAMAS dan Lebanon dikuatirkan akan menyeret dua negara besar Amerika Serika dan RUSIA untuk turun ke gelanggang peperangan walau tidak secara langsung

Mengapa demikian? Sebab Amerika Serikat memberikan dukungan Politik dan persenjataan untuk Israel menyerang musuh musuhnya, dan HAMAS juag mendapat dukungan dari berbagai front yang didukung oleh Teheran. Di sisi lain RUSIA juga mulai digadang gadang siap merapat ke HAMAS dan memberikan dukungan sebagaimana AS mendukung Ukraina melawan Rusia.  Kini RUSIA punya alasan kuat untuk membantu HAMAS melawan Isarel yang didukung Amerika Serikat.

DAN tentu juga perlu dicatat bahwa masih ada kesempatam dam banyak pihak menilai masih ada peluang Win Win Solution atau melihat solusi diplomatik sebagai jalan ke depan untuk yang lebih damai dan wilayah yang aman (Disari dari beberaoa REFERENSI)

Saat ini ditengah gencarnya pemberitaan tentang Perang HAMAS ISRAEL dan RUSIA UKRAINA, dunia tersentak dengan beredarnya Video Penembakan terhadap Mantan Presiden Amerika Serikat Donald Trump saat berkampanye di kota Pennsylvania. Hari itu adalah hari yang menyedihkan bagi Amerika Serikat tentunya khususnya untuk para Fans dan pendukung TRUMP yang gencar berkampanye untuk pemilihan Presiden Amerika mendatang.

Dan memang,saat ini terasa sulit untuk menemukan kata-kata untuk menggambarkan keterkejutan dan kengerian yang dirasakan orang-orang saat ini setelah banyak dari kita menyaksikan sendiri di televisi secara live (langsung) upaya assassination attempt atau pembunuhan terhadap mantan presiden Donald Trump pada rapat umum kampanye di Pennsylvania.

Kantor Berita SKY NEWS AUSTRLIA menggambarkan kejadian itu sebagai hari yang menyedihkan dunia pada khususnya dan bagi Amerika saat sekarang ini saat ini dimana mana orang-orang mencurahkan isi hati dan perasaan mereka di media sosial dan memposting doa untuk Trump dengan tagar #prayDonaldTrump atau #PrayTRUMP dan tagar lainnya, 

Bahkan dalam beberapa media menggambarkan secara Graphic bagaimana sebuah peluru tampak tertangkap kamera melesat menuju kepala TRUMP membuat banyak orang tersentak. Anda dapat melihat peluru yang mengenai telinga kanannya saat dia bangun dengan darah berlumuran di  telinga dan pelipisnya

Sebenarnya ada lebih banyak lagi video yang beredar yang membahas banyak hal terkait teradap apa yang disebut media barat khususnya AUSTRALIA yang memang merupakan sekutu Amerika Serikat sebagai "Upaya Percobaan Pembunuhan Yang Gagal".  Beberapa video bahlan secara graphic menangkap aksi penembak Jitu yang mengawal Pidato TRUMP yang melakukan serangan balasan terhadap gunman (penembak) yang diduga berusa 20 tahun yang bernama Thomas Mattew C yang menurut media sudah berhasil dilumpuhkan oleh tim keamanan setempat.

TEORI KONSPIRASI
Kejadian yang menimpa TRUMP dalam catatan sejarah bukan pertama terjadi yakni adanya upaya pembumuhan terhadap Calon Presiden Amerika Serikat. Sebelumnya hal serupa yakni upaya perconbaan pembunuhan pun pernah terjadi  yakni adanya upaya untuk membunuh orang yang mencalonkan diri sebagai presiden, ketika ada upaya pembunuhan terhadap presiden Republik Ronald Reagan

Teori Konspirasi akhirnya muncul.  Adalah hal yang wajar dalam proses pencalonan Presiden dimana pun diseluruh dunia, lawan POLITIK akan melakukan banyak hal untuk bisa menjegal pesaingannya.  Dan upaya pembunuhan terhadap mantan Presiden Donald Trump selain mengundang banyak dukungan dan simpati, juga menjadi "peluru" bagi lawan lawan politiknya untuk "menyerang" TRUMP. 

Sebagian dari mereka menyebut bahwa Upaya Pembunuhan TRUMP seperti fake (palsu)) dan tidak lebih dari pencitraan (Staged).  Claims that Trump Shooting was staged (Menuduh bahwa upaya penembakan TRUMP seperti dalam pentas atau sandiwara).  Dengan inim TRUMP membuat kesan dirinya sebagai korban dan menujukkan kepada dunia dan kepada para pendukungnya bahwa dia kuat dan berharap mendapat simpati

Sebagia pengamat Militer mengatakan bahwa Secara teknis PELURU yang digunakan penembak (Thomas Matthews C) adalah peluru yang tidak mematikan dalam arti bukan perlu sungguhan.  Sebab, kata pengamat, jika Peluru yang digunakan adalah Peluru ASLI atau Peluru Sungguhan, mereka berkeyakinan bahwa TRUMP sudah pasti tewas saat peluru itu mengenai kepala atau dibagian telinganya.   Analisis ini sepertinya masuk akal, namun benarkah demikian?

Kita semua tahu bahwa  ada lawan Politik TRUMP dalam kampanye pemilihan Presiden Amerika mendatang ini.   Banyak komentar-komentar itu akan datang pada titik tertentu,  atau bahkan justru jmalah menyalahkan Donald Trump disaat banyak dari kita menyaksiskan sendiri bagaimana dia hampir dibunuh di atas panggung, tetapi komentar-komentar miring selalu datang hingga membuat kontes pemilihan Presiden Amerika ini agak "gaduh". dan banyak pakar menganalisis kejadian penembakan TRUMP itu dari berbagai sudut pandang

Miliarder Elon Musk ini dikabarkan memberi dukungan kepada TRUMP dengan memposting di X yang sepenuhnya mendukung presiden Trump dan berharap untuk pemulihannya yang cepat terlepas dari semua kebencian di dunia dan bahkan upaya pembunuhan Donald Trump tidak menyerah tulisnya di Akun X miliknya

Pihak berwenang di AS ,FBI bersama tim kepolisian Butler County di Pennsylvania Barat mengutuk  tindakan keji yang terjadi terhadap Trumpdan pihak FBI telah mengerahkan sejumlah sumber daya kami, termasuk agen investigasi, teknisi bom Tim Respons sebagai bukti keseriusan mereka mengungkap Dalang Sesungguhnya atau MOTIF dibalik upaya pembunuhan Trump ini.

Pihak FBI mengaku memiliki intelijen yang sudah turun ke lapangan dengan sigap  mengidentifikasi individu yang melakukan ini, Thomas Matthews C dan motif apa pun di balik mengapa ini dia lakukan sekarang,  Pihak FBI mengaku merekamembutuhkan bantuan Publik, siapa pun yang berada di tempat kejadian yang melihat apa pun yang mengidentifikasi informasi apa pun bisa melaporkan itu ke FBI menggunakan saluran komunikasi yang sudah mereka sediakan (Dikutip dari Berbagai SUMBER)

Time travel, the concept of moving between different moments in time, has long been a popular topic in science fiction. While time travel is a fascinating theoretical notion, it currently remains firmly in the realm of science fiction.

One of the most well-known examples of time travel in science fiction is Ray Bradbury's short story, which involves a character going back to the Paleolithic era and causing irreparable damage to the future timeline.

Other notable works exploring time travel and its implications include Philip Roth's The Plot against America, which supposes an alternate history where Charles Lindbergh wins the 1940 election instead of Franklin Roosevelt.

Those interested in exploring the concept of time travel further may want to consult academic sources such as William J. Burl For further reading on time travel in science fiction, William J. Burling's "Reading Time: The Ideology of Time Travel in Science Fiction" and Jolie C. Matthews' "Contesting Time and Space: The Politics of Time Travel in Science Fiction."

Time travel is a distinctive feature of dystopian literature, and it employs time as a tool for reality detachment. From a scientific perspective, time travel is an intriguing concept that has been explored in various theoretical models based on general relativity. \ However, the scientific community widely agrees that time travel to the past is currently impossible due to a number of paradoxes and inconsistencies, such as the grandfather paradox.

Despite this, some theoretical models suggest that time travel to the future may be possible under certain conditions- such as traveling at high speeds or experiencing extreme gravitational forces. It is important to note that any discussion of time travel must consider the philosophical and ethical implications of altering history. In addition, the concept of time travel raises questions about free will and determinism, as well as the impact that changing past events may have on future outcomes.

Overall, while time travel remains a topic of fascination and speculation in both fiction and academic circles, its practical application remains elusive. Furthermore, it is important to note that any discussion of time travel must consider the limitations and potential consequences associated with altering historical events.

The dangers of time travel and the consequences of altering the past are explored in various works such as a short story where a character goes back to the Paleolithic era and accidentally steps on a butterfly, leading to dramatic changes in the future.

Therefore, any attempt at time travel should be approached with caution and careful consideration of its potential impact on history and society. It is crucial for any researcher interested in the topic of time travel to consult academic sources such as William J. Burling's "Reading Time: The Ideology of Time Travel in Science Fiction" and Jolie C. Matthews' "Contesting Time and Space:

The Politics of Time Travel in Science Fiction" to understand the various theoretical models and their implications. In conclusion, while the idea of time travel has captured imaginations for centuries, particularly in science fiction literature, its practical applications remain unknown and are still the subject of ongoing scientific inquiry.

As such, any discussion of time travel must be approached with a rigorous scientific and ethical framework that accounts for the potential consequences of altering historical events. It is important for researchers and scholars to continue exploring the concept of time travel in order to gain a better understanding of its theoretical underpinnings and possible implications.

However, it is equally important to recognize the limitations and potential dangers associated with time travel. Careful consideration of the ethical implications, and rigorous scientific inquiry are necessary for any further research in this field. Moreover, it is crucial to recognize that all future insights are influenced by the baggage of history and its impact on future events.

Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is needed that includes perspectives from science, ethics, history, and culture. In the context of new technologies, fictional narratives such as science fiction can offer us valuable insights and imaginative variations .

However, it is important to note that imaginative variation alone might not generate accurate ethical decisions.(Nascimento, 2020) Eileen Botting argues that fictional narratives such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the prototype for science fiction on the ethics of artificial creation and modification of human life, can help us explore the personal, interpersonal, and social implication of certain technological advances.(Nascimento, 2020)

Additionally, science fiction has been shown to have a significant impact on cultural memory and people's interpretations of science. Therefore, it is important for scientists and researchers to keep in mind how science fiction portrays scientific concepts. In summary, time travel remains a fascinating concept in both scientific and fictional communities.

However, any discussions of it should be approached with a rigorous scientific and ethical framework that accounts for all potential risks and consequences. Films that focus on the ethics and implications of technology, such as time travel, have the potential to engage students with ethical considerations they may have found difficult to fully grasp in classroom discussions.

These films can offer a new and engaging medium in which to explore ethical dilemmas related to technology, as well as the cultural impact of technology. Furthermore, science fiction prototyping can be a valuable tool in exploring the ethical implications of technological advancements and providing scenarios for risk management. It is important to cultivate imaginative technological skepticism when exploring potential advancements, and science fiction can provide a valuable source of inspiration in this regard.

Ultimately, a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach is necessary when dealing with new technologies and their potential ethical implications. It is crucial to apply a diverse range of perspectives, including those from science, ethics, history, and culture. By encompassing these different perspectives, we can approach emerging technologies with greater awareness of the possible consequences they might have on individuals, societies, and the environment.   (Taken from many resources)
