WORD-UP BULLETIN SCROLL-19



September 27-2007:

Are You On A Quest For Your Significant Other?

Some people claim that they are seeking their Soul mate or Significant other!

But do they know what he or she would look like?

* And if they happen to see someone they think might be that someone.

* What will they say to him or her then?

* What would he or she look like physically?

* Is he or she supposed to be of a certain ethnic group, skin color, hair texture, shape, height, or religious background?

* Is he or she supposed to be an intellectual, or from the Hood of Ghetto?

* Or just someone that you feel will be compatible with you in most ways?

* And will he or she see you in the same fashion, as a soul mate or significant other?

These questions and expectations are UN-REALISTIC. And may never happen in this life period.

Yes, if it is your destiny to meet your Soul mate or Significant other.


From the moment your eyes meet, you will instantly know that he or she is someone special.

And would want there and then, to continue seeing each other. And this would be a gut feeling that you both would experience, without even realizing it personally.

As for whether he or she is your soul mate. That idea may never even occur to you both. Because just being together, seeing each other regularly, sharing with each other, and wanting to be together for all time, until death if possible. Is all that your heart would desire for each other.

Very few of us ever get that opportunity in this life. And those who do, are the LUCKY ones!

South Africa's Growing Middle Class!
It has been two decades since the new Black South African government of the ANC (African National Congress) has been in power, since the end of Apartheid.
There is a growing Black middle class, referred to as 'The Black Diamonds' in that country. This growing phenomena consists of about 40% of the total population, and continually growing. South Africans can now revel in the possibilities of a growing economy, greater economic benefits for all, hitherto unknown to Black South Africans.
But amidst this improvement in opportunities for some, there is still the ever present Shanty Townships that still blights this country's economic panorama. The government is still struggling with the continued construction of homes, to help stem the spread of this population of poor and working class peoples, that have not yet fully benefited from this growing economy.
But overall, the possibility of a better future for all South Africans is assured!
Let us hope that the sustained support for the ruling ANC party, and the continued vision, economic growth, financial management of the public funds, and private investment by South Africans to help in this effort, will be encouraged and sustained.

WORD-UP:
Is It IDIOCY That Influences Americans In Choosing Their Political Reps?

I get the impression currently from CNN and other local media personnel, that Senator Hillary Clinton will get the nomination in 2008: This kind of overall and coercive prediction, makes me feel that they are subtly telling the American people, especially democratic supporters to nominate her in 2008.
But I will not allow this prediction to bother me much!
Remember George W. Bush after his first term in the White House, when Americans realized that he LIED Big Time about the so-called Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Iraq was UNTRUE.
Yet they voted en-mass for his return to the White House, only to regret that decision shortly afterwards with the current situations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, are Americans going to repeat this scenario once again in 2008?
Let us wait and see if idiocy has become the means to select our political leaders de-facto.

WORD-UP:
A Soldier's Prayer!
A soldier prayed during the war at Anzio-Italy, during World War-2, the following:
God help us. Don't send Jesus, come yourself.
Because this is no place for children!
This was when the Germans pounded the Americans who were trapped in the open fields at Anzio for months, totally exposed and trapped by the German Big Artillery Guns.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Spurning At Columbia University:



September 24-2007:

Attention:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Spurning At Columbia University!

It was the response from an invitation that was sent to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, from, Columbia University President Lee Bollinger, that was responsible for his visit here today.

And I am at a loss to understand how could the president of such a prestigious university, insult an invited guest of that stature in public?
Furthermore, I was of the opinion that such an invitation was sent in order to hear from Mr. Ahmadinejad's lips, his reason for denying the holocaust!

However, it seems like the forum was used by the university officials, politicians, and the media alike, to make a mockery of someone they feel is Evil, a Terrorist, and a Hater of Jews.

This tells me just how petty, un-diplomatic, and frivolous these proceedings were. And I am certain that it would not in any way, persuade their invited guest to re-think or change his views of the holocaust or Israel.

The world community is already aware of similar aspersions made in the past from Hamas, Hesbullah, Palestinians, and others throughout the globe, about their hatred for Israel or Jews.

However, I am unable to comprehend the motive for this invite, and what outcome the university and others hope to gain from this scenario!

The Black Water & Other Contractors In Iraq-Behaviors!



September 18-2007:

The Black Water & Other Contractors In Iraq-Behaviors!

It is common knowledge in Iraq and with those who have been following the current political and Civil War climate in Iraq. To be aware of the actions of several private contracting firms like the one cited above, and how they operate in Iraq on a daily basis.

Outlined below are some of these concerns and complaints:

* It is common knowledge on the streets of Baghdad, that several private security personnel operate there with impunity.

* These operators are charged with protecting USA foreign officials, goods, building materials and equipment, and other services from the airport and

wharves en-route to it's destination.

* Sometimes these convoys are attacked by insurgents, who see them also as the enemy to their cause in Iraq.

* These contracted and heavily armed personnel try their utmost to protect their protege. Sometime un-successfully.

* And finally, these contractors are hired by the Pentagon, to do operations they feel cannot be done by the US army, because of logistical and other practical problems.

FURTHERMORE:

So these private contractors are used to do these kinds of protective and mercenary operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is also true that when the military and private contractors use the roads, they do so without consideration for proper road rules, or other Iraqi vehicles. And many of these convoys try to evade terrorists attacks by any means necessary.

And that might entail ramming into other vehicles on the roads, or behaving in an intimidating manner which implies, that other vehicular traffic had better get out of their way, "Or Suffer The Consequences." Incidentally, these contracted security personnel are paid exorbitant salaries, and allowed personal insurance coverage for themselves, as a LURE for them to continue working in that or those high risk environments!

So the Iraqi government said it has had enough of this mistreatment of Iraqi civilians, and they must leave Iraq now!

Could the US administration in Washington, dis-continue using these private companies anytime soon. I think not! This kind of out-sourcing of security costs the US government much less, rather than having it's uniformed forces do that job full time.

WORD-UP BULLETIN SCROLL-17



September 14-2007:

WORD-UP:

Cuban Elections Are Due Soon-But No Campaigners Or Campaign Promises Allowed:

Cuba will have national elections soon. But no candidates are allowed to campaign, or make any public speeches prior to this election.

This is how it works:

* A leader or spokes person is identified and nominated in every neighborhood, to represent those people in that neighborhood.

* Whoever is selected to represent that neighborhood, was selected based on his or her favour and recognition to do a good job by the people there.

* He or she also has to be pro-Socialist to qualify.
* And all representatives take their seats in the National Assembly.

* It is the National Assembly that elects the President of Cuba.

Therefore, no opposition party is condoned, because as A Socialist country, ONLY Socialists will be allowed to participate in the politics of that country.

That is Socialist Democracy according to Fidel Castro's Cuba!

WORD-UP:

The International Community & The OAU-MUST Act Now Militarily!
The crisis in Zimbabwe has reached alarming proportions, in terms of hunger, malnutrition, and exploitation of the poor and disposable people of the state.
The most essential items that humans need to survive in modern society, is denied to millions in Zimbabwe today. Items like bread, flour, sugar, cooking oil, electricity, and running water in homes in the city of Harare.

President Robert Mugabe may have been a formerly revered African leader, who brought much needed political and economic changes to Zimbabwe. But today Robert Mugabe is SENILE, self centered, totally paranoid of opposition to his rule, and does not intend to allow Democracy to work or practiced politically in Zimbabwe today.

So his dictatorship continues to punish those who refuse to allow or deny, his capability to continue governing Zimbabwe.

WORD-UP:

When Will The Hidden Imam Return?

The Iranian Moslems believe that when democracy has failed the West, just like Communism/Socialism has failed it's believers. The hidden Imam or (Messiah), will appear to the world as the final solution to all of humanity's troubles.
If the Christians & Jews refuse to acknowledge him, God or Allah will send Jesus to mediate for this recognition.

If the Christians and Jews refuse to heed Jesus's recognition of the Hidden Imam, then the possibility for global conflict between Christians-Jews and Moslems will arise.

Too Many Old Heads & Myopic Representatives In Washington-DC:

WORD-UP:

The REAL problem in Washington DC with our elected representatives, in both houses are the following:

* We have too many OLD and AGED White/Caucasian men making decisions there.

* Most of whom have NO CLUE about the REAL issues of the day. Much less represent the American people adequately.

* That is a major problem there.

And until all Americans who cherish progress, reality, and vision.

Some or most of those Aged and Old School Heads in Washington MUST be relieved of their positions politically, come next election!

WORD-UP:

The US Troop Surge Report!

General Patrayeas said that a withdrawal of those troops that comprised the SURGE could be brought home by Simmer-2008.

Now this remark is laughable for the following reasons.

* The quantity of US troops before the surge will not change.

* But the troops that were added that made up the surge will be brought home.

So in other words, this surge really did not make much or a significant difference with the internal Civil War in Iraq.

But it makes George W. Bush feel somewhat satisfied with his troop surge suggestion!

Until The Shia & Sunnis can co-operate and sit down to making democracy work legally for all Iraqis.

This government will continue to be helpless in maintaining it's governance, or national security.
