50 Allied nations met in San Francisco - from April 25, 1945, to June 26, 1945 - resulting in the creation of the United Nations Charter.
On June 26, 1945 - the United Nations Charter - was signed at the San Francisco War Memorial.
After world war II - many nations met in San Francisco - they saw the need - to bring the world together - and never, ever to shed blood as was shed in World War I - and again in Europe in World War II.
Great Britain got us involved in World War II - Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt - agreed to halt World War II.
It helped to have President De Gaulle of France and President Stalin of the Soviet Union - unite to keep Hilter at bay.
Mussolini from Itlay with his Brown Shirts was kept out - Fascism and Nazism - did not bore well with the nations - that wanted peace and were fed up with millions of soldiers from the free world dying.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)ATO was created - to keep NATO nations united - if any country attacked a NATO member - the rest would come to its aid.
The War Memorial Conference - where the United Nations was signed - the Charter is in operation - to this day - five nations - given the power to veto Great Britain, United States, France, China, and Russia.
All over San Francisco - you witness scenes like you see above - on Market Street, all sorts of drug dealing - assaults - too much talk and no action. Quality of Life - compromised.
The World Cup is on - what has it done to help -
millions of human beings dying in Afghanistan,
Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, Pakistan, Ukraine -
you get the picture.
So many nations - came to the World Cup 2022
held in Doha, Qatar - Qatar itself fared poorly -
Qataris walking out - even as their team was losing -
Qatar spent $250 Billion - yes - $250 Billion.
The World Cup held in Doha, Qatar, is the worst ever.
We know Qatar spent over $250 billion to put on a show - that is replete with mistakes - poor sportspersonship - the FIFA president making a statement - that belied the purpose of the World Cup.
Football or Soccer is not for the faint of heart - from our youth - those who love football - embrace unity, empathy, and most of all, LOVE.

Our United States women were forced to take FIFA and related organizations to court here in the United States.
FIFA quickly realized that the women had exposed the hypocrisy of FIFA - treating the men differently - disdain for the women.
The gusty American women - took the jackasses to court and won.
Imagine FIF condescending to the women in the United States who attracted more fans - and played a superior form of Soccer or football.
Winning more championships than the men.
Qataris have doled out billions
billions do not buy respect.
Here in San Francisco, we once had the respect of the entire world.
After the United Nations was created in San Francisco - people flocked to San Francisco - and this continued until the early 1980s.
The world knows about the Hippies - who congregated in large numbers in the 1960s.
The streets of Haight Ashbury are known the world over - and even today, in the year 2022 - tourists - love visiting Haight Ashbury when they visit the Bay Area and more of San Francisco.
San Francisco again - embraced our youth and young adults - who were fed up with the war in Vietnam and many failing to welcome our soldiers in the United States.
Last I heard, the United States is still a Superpower.
I challenge our nation to be a moral power - fostering -
tenacity, fortitude, empathy, and love.
The Federation Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA, was founded in 1904 and is the international governing body of football or Soccer.
FIFA's mission is simple:
Develop the Game, Touch the World,
Build a Better Future. Wow!
Well, the mission objective may sound pleasing to the ears - it depends on how FIFA has governed itself - if it has touched the hearts of millions - in the appropriate manner.
I often say - we must have our hearts in the right place. Only then can we take others to a better place.
More and more women are playing football and Soccer - and much like the United Nations - FIFA has its work cut out - to embrace all - and use its resources - in a meaningful manner.
It is a fact FIFA was founded in 1904 - has accumulated years of experience - hopefully, wisdom should come naturally to FIFA and what it stands for.
The divisiveness felt all over the world is unbearable.
We cannot. Allow infants and children to die - in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Kenya, Peru - all over the world.
As human beings, we are all connected - much like football - where there is harmony - as the ball moves to the goal - and it gratifies us when a goal is scored.
We human beings are challenged to address the Carbon Footprint - the United States, Russia, and China - are among the worst polluters.
It is not right that Sudan, Pakistan, Kenya, and other countries that pollute less - experience fires, hurricanes, flooding - different inclement weather - suffer, and thousands die - all over the world.
Just imagine those suffering - knowing and hearing about the World Cup 2022 - remember - over $250 billion was spent - this is a large amount of money.
We know over 6500 human beings - primarily immigrants died - constructing the many facilities - linked to the Qatar - 2022 World Cup.
Most were declared having heart attacks - allow Qatar not to compensate those who laid their lives - so that so many could enjoy the World Cup - held in Doha, Qatar.
Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani
The Emir of Qatar - Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani
must provide some recourses to those that need help most :
"We must stand united in our fight against Injustice."
I have been listening to Al Jazeera - its motto you rely on Al Jazeera for truth and transparency.
www.aljazeera.com
I know the Emir of Qatar will listen to me - as one who has been all over the world, and I have fought for what is right - for over forty years.
I have met Qataris worldwide - and they can do better.
Qatar can reassess what needs to be done - to make the world a better place. Aho
