NEWS FROM MY PERSPECTIVES-26

What If All Newspapers Stopped Publishing?

Then we will continue to rely on the Man On The Street observers and reporters, via Phone and Video cameras. This will not be the End Of The World, like some journalists purports.

The Internet has changed the way we seek out information, and the variety of perspectives, that hitherto was not available to us all.

That is why so many people use the Internet as another source for information gathering.

And that is how the birth of Internet Bloggers got their debut.


Governor General Hamid Karzai's Dilemma!

Unfortunately, president Obama has inherited this 'Stool Pigeon,' and will have to find some way to work with his corrupt government.

However, Afghans generally do not want the US & N.A.T.O. military personnel there. Unless they are helping to develop that country. All fighting foreign military personnel are UN-WELCOMED there.

But president Obama will never pull out US troops on his presidential watch. He fears loosing his popularity, and that may prevent him from being re-elected in 2010

So he will pacify that country, make more promises to Americans, pretend that all is going in his favor over there, until the end of his term

Native American Indigenous Leader Mr. Peltier:

Native American Peltier is just one incident in America, that contradicts the pretense that it is a Fair and Just society under the Laws.

Circumcision To An Infant Is A Violation Of His/Her Human Rights!

This procedure done by Jews and Moslems for centuries, may be regarded as necessary for those who are devout Moslems or Jewish. But in keeping with current reality, it is a violation of the infants Human Rights (Plain and Simple).

This procedure also inhibits the sensitivity at the apex or head of the male's penis, to feel any sensation, which is natural and vitally necessary for sexual stimulation/pleasure.

Maybe the original thought behind circumcision was to inhibit the male from sexual feelings or stimulation, which a male would have experienced naturally.

And in any culture that advocates marriage before sexual encounter, I can see how that rationale begun, and is practiced universally within the Moslem and Jewish communities.


A Global Financial SCAM!

Just for the records. Don't let anyone deceive you. What we have here, is a Global Financial Scam, that has gone haywire.

And all countries affected or impacted are trying to recuperate what's left of their financial economies.

Let this experience be a learning tree for all time!

We May Work Together-But We Are Not Equals!

The Chinese are doing great work in several African countries. Their skills are sought after in any package deal that is required by many African states, in their development objectives.

But what I find striking is the day to day relations between Africans and Chinese representatives in ,most situations where the Chinese are engaged, even in the UN Peace Keeping Corps.

The Chinese tend to prefer being in charge in most instances, supervised by their own people, recreate with their own people, and socialize with their own people, wherever they are.

And I ask myself, why?

Is it a cultural phenomenon, or is it Chinese undeclared policy abroad?

Whatever it is, I am very curious about this behavior of the Chinese abroad!

How Do We Define Human Rights In Iran?

Whoever emerges as the winner in Iran's election, will have to define the concept of Human Rights.

Is it Human Rights under the Islamic Concepts?

Or is Human Rights under the United Nations Concepts?

Until the new leader is able to define his position on the above, he may just be another pawn to the Absolute Ayatollah's dictates.

With regard to diplomatic relations with the West or the USA. Subtle diplomacy aught to be the policy going forward.

Because if the new leader continues to use aggressive and defamatory rhetoric towards America publicly, then the ability to indulge in positive and constructive diplomatic relations with America may be jeopardized.

And may result in the continued portrayal of both cultures, as cantankerous and not to be trusted or believed.

Internet Access Discontinuation Law Thrown Out Of France Appeal's Court!

The Recording Industry Association of America is taking a dangerous step with its decision to stop suing suspected music sharers and start cutting off their Internet access instead.

This law would have penalized anyone who knowingly downloaded music files or movies illegally.

And anyone who was caught would be Firstly warned via a notice, and Secondly their Internet access would be discontinued.

The Court said Free Internet Access is a Right. And only a judge could decide if or how to penalize anybody for internet use.

Hurray for Free Internet Access, and Free File Sharing on the Internet.

What Does Belarus Mean?

Well, Belarus is a former Soviet Colony.

It refers to the White Russians who battled the Soviets for control following the Russian Revolution.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Belarus may be behaving in such a manner lately, with it's former colonizer Russia.

By making statements that could be interpreted to mean, a breakaway from that alliance or courtship

UN Security Council Enacts New Harsh Proposals!

But will the Dear Leader Kim Jung IL comply or change his ways?

However, it is also time to incorporate some more countries into the Security Council. Because the current ones represented therein, cannot adequately represent or incorporate the feelings or views of the new developing countries.

After Omar Bongo What's Next?

After Omar Bongo What's Next?

African states that were former colonies have a dilemma of cultural and economic dependence upon their former colonial masters.

Most of these states emerged as dictatorships, with the socio-political systems centered around the leader of the new independent country. Outsiders see these new and independent former colonies in Africa as free states, and feels that on the surface the national economy and political leadership have the approval of the national commonweal.

But in most cases the elected or appointed leadership are illegal, dictatorial, and are centered upon the personality of the leader, ruling elite, or ruling class.

The various ethnic groups within are at the mercy of the ruling elite, with mass unemployment, illiteracy, corruption in all places, and sometimes ethnic violence from those who feel victimized or totally left out of the political and economic process and benefits therein.

So who will emerge as Gabon's Leader?

Naturally, this country was ruled by Bongo's family for decades. And most of his ministers are family members too. Omar Bongo owns over 33 homes in France, most of which were acquired through 'kick back' deals with businessmen.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the new leader will be a family member, after the interim Prime Minister calls for an election.

And from which will emerge another victorious Bongo member, because the election machinery was and is in the hands of that family for decades, with an apposition that was made null and void.

Released Algerian Citizen To France-Spoke Out On France TV!

The recently released Algerian citizen who served seven years in Gyantanamo Bay Prison, as a suspected terrorist spoke out on French Television (france24.com) today. He said that he was not a terrorist or any sort, nor has he done anything that would be considered terrorism. His inhumane experience in that American Concentration Camp at Gyantanamo Bay, was a testament to the horrors of it's inmates, many of whom were merely picked up in haste, to get victims for the authorities's revenge mentality from foreign lands.

That is basically the bottom line of his remarks!

Now this man's personal identity papers were never returned to him, and his prospects for any kind of positive future is severely impaired. How this man is going to provide for his wife and family, is anyone's guess.

His internment at Gyantanamo should make anyone with a conscience for Human Rights, Justice Under The Law, and Respect For Human Dignity, strive even harder to ensure that this facility is permanently closed, and all of it's inmates given Habeas Corpus in a recognized Court Of Law.

Child Custody Varies From Country To Country!

It is quite natural and possibly very easy to get married in a foreign country.

But it is quite a different matter to get divorced, and gain child access and custody in that country!

Something to consider before you take the plunge!


Briton's Labor Party's Demise!

Gordon Brown's Labor Party MUST weed out the corrupt Dead Wood from within the government.

In order to gain face from the British people.

And hopefully, may save the Labor Party from total collapse.

Healthcare Is A MUST-Not A Privilege!

In modern civilized societies, Healthcare is as natural as pure drinking water.

It is not only essential, it is a MUST.

President Omar Bongo Of Gabon Has Died!

President Omar Bongo of Gabon, has died after (43 years, in a One Party State). He was 73 years of age, after a long illness. This man ruled for four decades over people who never knew of any alternative, or had no other choice for another leader to emerge or encouraged.

Because he stiffled and snuffed out all opposition via the election apparatus, everytime an election is allowed to happen.

President Bongo never took a vacation for all of his 43 years in office, for fear that he may lose his position. That is what happens when any dictator takes office illegally.

They have to live in perpetual fear for their life and position. Seventy three percent of his people live in abject poverty, while he enriched himself from the country's coffers with millions illegally.

Ironically, in Africa power is sought through the majority vote. If a tribe is the majority in any state, it is a foregone conclusion that they must be the rulers of that state of government.

The concept of proportional representation does not apply in Africa's politics period!

He was one of Africa's longest serving leaders.

Another strongman bites the dust!

The European Union Experiment!

Europeans like Americans in so many ways, are voting according to their individual state. They seem not to comprehend the collective politics that the EU encompasses.

So that is the reason why the turnout is so poor, and certain countries seem not to care!

Hezbullah May Win More Seats In Lebanon's Parliament!

The US and others call HEZBULLAH terrorists.

But the Armenians will be voting for them in the elections currently, EN-MASS in Lebanon!

This voting block of Christians are swing voters.

Go figure!

Brazilian Commercial Plane Disappeared Over The Atlantic Ocean!

A Brazilian commercial plane with 226 passengers disappeared from radar over the Atlantic ocean, en route to Paris.

Personally, I believe that this plane crashed into the sea. Possibly a nose dive under the ocean.

A search and rescue is underway by Brazilian and French authorities.

When an aircraft goes down in the sea, it goes immediately under. The doors cannot be opened under there.. So all passengers will ultimately be drowned!

All 226 passengers will be screaming for life, while the water gradually engulfed the entire interior of the plane, until they drowned.

Say goodbye to them all.

Because the possibility of rescuing anyone alive, is extremely slim!

General Motors Finally Declares Bankruptcy!

GM has finally declared what most Americans feared would become a reality.

However, their sister company in Germany was able to prevent that, by allowing the Russian governments 35% shares contribution, a private car manufacturer in Russia bought 30% in shares, GM of Germany bought 25% shares bought, and the employees bought 10% in shares, thus saving the OPEL car model of over a 100 years from bankruptcy.

How GM here in America will eventually emerge after this bankruptcy is eventually reconciled, is anyone's guess..

However, GM will be smaller, hopefully more modern, healthier, and is good shape to compete with other car manufacturers of this century globally!
