“The charity that represents
Wikipedia in the UK has condemned edits being made from government computers”
“More incidents of vandalism
have emerged”
“The BBC has discovered that
the phrase “all Muslims are terrorists”
was added to a page about veils”
“Another edit had deleted the
text in Cherie Blair’s entry about her flat buying scandal that made headline
news in 2002”
“A public apology was made
after it emerged she had bought two flats at a discounted price with the help
of a convicted fraudster”
“The latest revelations that
have emerged are that insults had been added to the entry for the Hillsborough
Disaster”
“A Liverpool Echo reporter
discovered these insults posted on the website’s Hillsborough Disaster page”
“They had been made using
computers within the government’s internal intranet”
“Stevie Benton, from
Wikimedia UK told the BBC, “We find this
kind of vandalism appalling””
“Wikimedia UK is the local
arm of the global Wikipedia Foundation, a charity set up by the online
encyclopaedia’s founder Jimmy Wales”
“It supports the thousands of
volunteers, who edit and maintain Wikipedia”
““While vandalism does occasionally happen we are grateful to the many
thousands of volunteers who write, edit and organise the content””
“The BBC has found that more
than a hundred instances of inappropriate editing, vandalism and deletion have
been made”
“These are all by computers
known to be used by government machines”
“The Cabinet Office has
stated that the amendments to Wikipedia are sickening”
“This behaviour is in
complete contravention of the Civil Service Code, yet it carries on”
“The Cabinet Office has
stated they will investigate to examine the offensive edits to Wikipedia and
will look at all the concerns raised”
“Mr Benton from Wikimedia UK
has praised the work of Wikipedia editors in correcting the changes”
“The volunteers removed very
quickly these discrepancies on their scripts”
“Edits made by government
computers have come under greater scrutiny”
“This was following the
Liverpool Echo’s report on the Hillsborough Disaster”
“This has brought further
misery to those who have lost loved ones in that horrendous disaster”
“The people who inflict
suffering on those who are still in bereavement, have sick minds and should be
held accountable!”

“The ban imposed on the LA
Clippers basketball team owner over racist remarks has received widespread
praise”
“The team coach Doc Rivers
said the lifetime ban and fine for Donald Sterling was the start of a healing
process”
“Mr Sterling was recorded
asking a woman not to associate in public with black people or bring them to
the games”
“These remarks have earned
him a lifetime ban from the NBA whose commissioner is Adam Silver”
“He urged the Board of
Governors, the other team owners, to force Mr Sterling into selling”
“Mr Silver has stated that Mr
Sterling had hateful opinions, which simply have no place in the NBA”
“The league has also fined Mr
Sterling $2.5m”
“The players were all happy
with the resolution and they are now all in a better place because of it”
“Some sponsors had already
dumped the team as the race row deepened”
“But since the ban the
electronics company Samsung said it would resume its advertising starting with
Tuesday’s playoff game”
“Former basketball players
have also commended the swift action by the NBA”
“The team are speaking out
for what they are, which is against racism, hatred, bigotry and intolerance”
“They embrace everybody with
love and tolerance for their fellow man”
“Justice has been seen to be
done & it’s high time that more institutions stood up for what is right
& to eliminate bigotry in all its forms”

“An anti-toxic dump
campaigner in South Africa has been recognised with a prestigious environmental
award”
“Desmond D’Sa’s efforts
resulted in him winning the Goldman Environmental Prize”
“The awards are described as
the Nobel Prize for grassroots environmentalism”
“Mr D’Sa and five other
winners will receive their awards in a presentation ceremony in San Francisco
on Monday”
“As a co-founder of the South
Durban Community Environmental Alliance he campaigned to raise awareness of the
plight of communities”
“They had been living
alongside the waste facility”
“He got people to collect
samples of air in their communities and these were sent off to the US, where
they were analysed”
“The results of the various
smells showed how they had an impact on people’s health”
“The studies showed that more
than half of the 300,000 strong population had chronic asthma”
“There was a qualified cancer
risk of 25-in-100,000 people compared with 1 in 100,000”
“In lobbying officials he
stated the human cost was too high and the dump was closed”
“As a result, the trucks that carried all the highly toxic waste
through the communities are no longer there,”
he said proudly”
“It is comforting to know
that there are many people, who are saving both lives and the environment”
“It is these people who need
to be highlighted in the battle they face against corrupt governments and
industries”
“As in the case of Ruth
Buendia, who fought a powerful campaign against large scale dams that would
have uprooted indigenous communities”
“They were still recovering
from the Peru’s civil war”
“Rudi Putra, a biologist who
found there were illegal palm oil plantations that were causing massive

habitat, but also the critically endangered Sumatran rhino”

“All these people stick their
neck on the line for us & we should thank them for their unstinting
devotion to humanity and the environment”
“We could all do with more of
them!”

“Police are now examining
evidence, which suggests there was a cover-up over claims that Cyril Smith
sexually abused boys”
“This is said to have
occurred at a school in Rochdale”
“The leader of Rochdale
Council and Greater Manchester’s Chief Constable are due to give an update on
these claims”
“The abuse having been
carried out at Knowl View School for boys”
“Officers are already
investigating the abuse allegations and the Council are widening their own
inquiry”
“There are also claims that
Smith abused boys at the privately run Cambridge House Children’s Care Home”
“A pattern was perpetrated by
Jimmy Savile when innocent children were in homes supposedly to be protected”
“Yet they were exposed to the
flagrante abuse by these paedophiles that get away with it, because of their
famous position”
“MP Simon Danczuk has written
a book about Cyril Smith”
“Allegations about Smith’s
conduct were first published in 1979”
“With Danczuk’s new book, a
number of victims have come out to see him and they have raised concerns”
“Police are also looking at
whether there was a cover up at Rochdale Council”
“This was one of the
authorities that ran Knowl View School”
“It is now widely claimed
that Smith used his position of power to sexually abuse young boys and then
escape prosecution”
“The problem that abuse
victims had, over thirty years ago, was that nobody would believe children from
Homes of telling the truth”
“So the matters were always
dropped”
“It takes years for victims
to summon up the courage to face the crime that has ruined their lives”
“For many, the trauma is too
great and too painful to admit”
“They scurry away from
society with guilt that somehow they themselves were to blame for their demise”
“It really is high time that
high-profile people, especially those who are in a position of trust, are
exposed for who they are”
“Whatever the perpetrators
punishment, it can never be enough compared to the continual suffering of those
who had their lives spoilt”
“These very sick characters
gave a lifetime’s sentence to their victims and the emotional scars run deep”
“In the next life, the likes
of Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith will have to see the results of their sickness”
“There will be no getting
away with it. They will need to make amends”
“Unfortunately there is no
comfort to those who still suffer daily, as they are branded psychologically by
their oppressors”
“This world is a very harsh
place for them to bear”
“We pray that their suffering
continues to diminish and that they find the right help to alleviate their pain”

“In the world today it is
refreshing to hear of something worthwhile and sobering”
“Mexican writer and
journalist Elena Poniatowska has received the most important award for
literature in the Spanish language”
“The Cervantes Prize was
presented to Elena by King Juan Carlos of Spain in a ceremony in the town of
Alcala de Henares”
“It is the birth place of
Miguel de Cervantes”
“Elena, who is 81, is only
the fourth woman to be awarded this prize in its four decades-long history”
“Her writings explore the
social injustices of Mexico”
“One of her most famous
investigative works is ‘Massacre in Mexico’, which chronicles the 1968
killings”
“There, hundreds of student
protesters in Mexico City were brutally killed at the hands of the military”
“Another of her famous pieces
a non-fiction work, ‘Nothing, Nobody: The Voices of the Mexico City Earthquake’”
“Here she reported on the
aftermath of the 1985 quake. More than 10,000 people died and there was lack of
action by the Government”
“Interspersing victims’
personal stories and her own reflections she has created a powerful account”
“Her account describes the
ensuing disintegration of the fabric of society”
“Many of her works have
focused on roles of Mexican women, especially in their history”
“Women of the Mexican
Revolution, which traces the story of women soldiers through photographs and
text”
“In Elena’s acceptance speech
she recalled the nation’s less fortunate people and the continuing struggle of
its women”
“She is an amazing woman and
is an inspiration to many Mexican women, who see her as the voice piece where
so many do not have a voice”
“Her sensibility is like a
breath of fresh air”
“The Mexican Government
should take note and learn from this distinguished writer and journalist”
“There should be many more
female voices, but like all greats this one is exceptional”

“The Russian and the Crimean

“Their crops of grapes, rice,
maize and soya will be ruined if they do not get enough water soon”
“Russia has said the
Crimea-Ukraine border is now officially a state border”
“The Russian Government has
already plans to establish permanent checkpoints there as new rules for
entering and leaving Crimea”
“The North Crimea Canal
delivers water to Crimea from the River Dnieper in Ukraine’s southern Kherson
region”
“The canal accounts for 80%
of Crimea’s water”
“The current water shortage
held up by Ukraine is threatening 120,000 hectares of Crimea’s crops, which
rely on irrigation”
“A ruined harvest across this
area would mean losses of up to $140m – a deficit Moscow could well do without
at this time”
“Credit ratings agency
Standard and Poor have cut Russia’s rating to one notch above junk status”
“This move comes as foreign
investors continue to take money out of the country amid tensions over the
situation in Ukraine”
“The downgraded Russian
ratings are from BBB to –BBB, other credit rating agencies are likely to follow
suit”
“The situation between Russia
and the Ukraine has seen significant outflows of both foreign and domestic capital
from the Russian economy”
“This will further undermine
an already weakening growth prospect”
“Investors have been pulling
out money from Russia since last year when the country’s economy ran into
trouble”
“The situation has
intensified over Putin’s rash bully movements of wanting Ukraine back in the
fold”
“In just three months,
foreign investors have withdrawn $63.7bn, which has caused a significant
economic slowdown”
“Russian shares have traded
lower this week and fell further with the downgrade due to the weakness of the
rouble”
“They have lost 8% against
the dollar”
“It might seem alright in
Putin’s eyes to work his aggression out on the Ukraine”
“He feels he is justified in
taking Crimea away from the Ukrainians”
“In a global market where we
are all attached to each other and dependant on each other…”
“…then delusions of grandeur
play no part in today’s survival”
“If Moscow thinks it can
outwit the world with ideas of aggression it will need to think again”

will start to play a significant part in the lives of Russians and Crimea”

propaganda that is foisted on them”

“All they can think of is
Mother Russia. Mother Russia is no longer what she was”

“Sherpa guides in Nepal are
meeting climbers at the Everest basecamp to decide whether to cancel ascents”
“Last Friday an avalanche
killed sixteen Sherpas”
“The Sherpas risk their lives
daily, as they go up Mount Everest. Such are the dangers that are held around
the mountain”
“The Sherpas wish to boycott
their assistance to climbers unless they get a bigger share of the revenue from
foreign climbers”
“Last Tuesday the Government
raised the amount of compensation it is to offer the families of those who died”
“The Sherpas also want better
measures to ensure speedy rescue and treatment facilities for guides”
“This has been long overdue
and is badly needed”
“One of the guides who died
was working for a UK based company and the other five of its Sherpas were
injured when the avalanche struck”
“The Sherpas also want a
boycott as a mark of respect for their dead colleagues. All were experienced
and dedicated climbers”
“Those who lost their lives
were on the slope early in the morning, fixing ropes for climbers and preparing
the route
“The avalanche struck a
passage called the Khumbu Icefall”
“It is riddled with crevasses
and ice boulders that can break free without warning”
“Although it is relatively
low on the mountain, it is one of the most dangerous points”
“There are no safer points
along the famous South Col route, first scaled by Sir Edmund Hillary and
Tenzing Norgay in 1953”
“Sherpas often make 20-25
round trips to carry kit and supplies to advanced camps”
“This again exposes them to
further risks and complications”
“Some 250 climbers have died
on the mountain with many Sherpas going up to retrieve the bodies for burial”
“Thus again putting their
lives at risk”
“Because of the high prestige
that the mountain seduces, it has become a very lucrative industry to the
Government”
“They earn millions of
dollars each year in fees for climbing permits”
“It is high time that Sherpas
were fully recognised”
“They are the ones who risk
their lives so that others may claim victory”
“The difficulty of the work
should be reflected with a salary that shows the enormity of the valuable work
that they do”
“It is the Sherpas who
safeguard all those who wish to climb”
“Without the intense
knowledge of daily difficulties that the mountain imposes, it cannot be mastered
without the Sherpas expert knowledge”
“It shows how good a job the
Sherpas are willing to undertake with the rising numbers of tourists”
“There have also been raised
concerns about safety and environmental damage”
“Every time another climber
goes up, more rubbish is left behind”
“It has now been ruled that
climbers must bring back their own rubbish, which has further caused hazards to
climbers and Sherpas”
“There will be new guidelines
for both Sherpas and climbers and where respect for all is now coming about”

consider women’s presence in society as a threat”
“He further said Iran has a
long way to go to ensure gender equality”
“Foreign activist groups
argue that Iran’s laws discriminate against women”
“Yet Rouhani still maintains
that he will not accept the culture of sexual discrimination against women”
“Women must enjoy equal
opportunity, equal protection and equal social rights, all this he said on
Iranian television”
“Yet Iran’s Supreme leader,
the highest authority in the land, states that he did not oppose women’s
employment…”
“…but it should not conflict
with their main issue, which was women’s role in the family environment and the
household”
“Even though, women in Iran
have served as lawmakers in Parliament”
“In 2012, several Iranian
universities introduced rules banning female students from nearly 80 degree
courses”
“They are drawing criticism
from campaigners”
“A human rights group Amnesty
International said in its 2013 report that Iranian women faced discrimination”
“This is in law and practice
with relation to marriage and divorce”
“Also their inheritance
rights were not observed together with child custody and nationality and
international travel”

constitutional body in Iran ruled that women could not run in Presidential
elections…”

know their place, which is in the home where they can be of no harm to men”

maintain the upper hand in Iranian life”

carefully if they wish to continue in this selfish way”

tool and women are now uniting in a common theme of united power and support,
which is growing daily”

“In Iran they are marking
Women’s Day and Mr Rouhani has urged equal opportunities and rights for both
men and women”
“He has criticised those who
consider women’s presence in society as a threat”
“He further said Iran has a
long way to go to ensure gender equality”
“Foreign activist groups
argue that Iran’s laws discriminate against women”
“Yet Rouhani still maintains
that he will not accept the culture of sexual discrimination against women”
“Women must enjoy equal
opportunity, equal protection and equal social rights, all this he said on
Iranian television”
“Yet Iran’s Supreme leader,
the highest authority in the land, states that he did not oppose women’s
employment…”
“…but it should not conflict
with their main issue, which was women’s role in the family environment and the
household”
“Even though, women in Iran
have served as lawmakers in Parliament”
“In 2012, several Iranian
universities introduced rules banning female students from nearly 80 degree
courses”
“They are drawing criticism
from campaigners”
“A human rights group Amnesty
International said in its 2013 report that Iranian women faced discrimination”
“This is in law and practice
with relation to marriage and divorce”
“Also their inheritance
rights were not observed together with child custody and nationality and
international travel”
“In May 2013, a
constitutional body in Iran ruled that women could not run in Presidential
elections…”
“…all in all, women should
know their place, which is in the home where they can be of no harm to men”
“It is men who seek to
maintain the upper hand in Iranian life”
“They are truly afraid of
women to install such draconian methods to keep them subservient in this day
and age”
“But women the entire world
over are starting to fight back with every means at their disposal”
“Men will need to think very
carefully if they wish to continue in this selfish way”
“More women are becoming
independent and they will no longer tolerate these rulings by men”
“The Internet is a powerful
tool and women are now uniting in a common theme of united power and support,
which is growing daily”
“Iran will need to come into
the 21st century whether it likes it or not”
“There are subtle ways in
which women do win and this is happening all the time”
“They have after all right on
their side and justice will be done whether men accept it or not”
“The tide is turning and can
never be stopped!”

“Thousands of runners are preparing
to take part in an emotional Boston Marathon on Monday”
“It will be with some
sadness, but also with a reunification of souls who are united in both grief
and optimism”
“These special people will
feel the strength and determination that no matter what happens…”
“…this race will give
credence to those who lost their lives and for the many who were wounded in the
bomb blasts”
“All those runners who were
killed and those who suffered will be united in a single determination”
“That is that decency,
honesty and togetherness count for something”
“Religious hatred and
ideology can have no place in this special event”
“So united, this race will
carry on with a more determined fervour than at any other time”
“The runners’ resolve will be
strengthened, as collectively they are united in a common theme of comradeship
and love”
“Many more people will wish
to participate in this special event”
“They will send out a clear
message that whoever wishes to destroy these innocent people, and this event, will
see that they cannot win”
“Common decency is what
unites them all”
“Some 36,000 participants
will start in this race – 9,000 more than last year”
“The event will become more
special with every passing year showing that Mankind will not be put down by
those who act through violence”
“This year will be an
especially exciting race with two runners fighting out amongst themselves for
the top prize of winning”
“A glorious day with much
patriotism and love will make this race a euphoric moment in all their lives”

“This holy day of Easter
Sunday, the day Our Lord Jesus rose again from the dead, is a very important
day in the Christian calendar”
“It is equally important as
Jesus Christ is recognised as a great prophet in the Muslim world as well as in
the Jewish faith”
“Jesus is alive and
flourishing today and many have seen him, as they have Mary the mother of Jesus”
“People the world over see
holy visions of the saints and of Jesus”
“His proof to us that he rose
again from the dead was his teaching to us”
“It was so that we would
understand that life continues after this earthly body is no more”
“For many who have seen
Jesus, there can be no doubt that he lives and is working on our behalves”
“One does not need to be a
believer or have a faith of any kind, just to know that what you saw in your
vision was real”
“It has a profound effect on
all those who have seen him. Their lives have been changed for the better”
“Every moment of every day
one in two people have a spiritual experience the entire world over”
“Thus their lives have been
changed for all time, where through great trauma or through impossible odds
Jesus has been seen”
“The love he gives is a
significant turning point in their lives forever”
“The fact that Jesus left his
physical body and rose again in his Spiritual body happens to all of us who die
in this earthly life”
“We are born again as he was
and are reunited with our loved ones as Jesus came back and visited Mary
Magdalen and his apostles”
“So many earthly beings have
enjoyed a reuniting with their deceased family members”
“They have had open
conversations with them as normal”
“It is the Church alone who
puts a stigma on our talking openly to our deceased loved ones as if it is
something that is ungodly”
“It is the Church alone who
think they have the monopoly of speaking to those we love”
“This is not so, as it is the
deceased loved ones who decide who they wish to speak to and it never involves
the Church”
“Why should it? They wish
alone to speak to their families and know that the Church would interfere with
their communication”
“There are many people who
see Jesus and, where he has actively helped them, none are in any doubt of what
they have seen”
“The light and the love is so
powerful and one instinctively knows it comes from a higher power, the Divine”
“All those who have been
privileged to have seen Jesus from different parts of the world, all speak of
the overwhelming sense of love”
“There is wellbeing that they
received in his presence”
“The love was so profound
that all sense of fear was totally removed, such was the impact that they felt”
“They knew they were saved
and whatever ordeals they still had to encounter on this earth…”
“…they were in no doubt that
Jesus lives on for our benefit and the benefit of the world”
“For those of us who do
believe without question, our lives are forever rich”
“We know we are in the power
of love, which daily sustains us and we are all rich indeed”

“The problem Mankind has, is
that he no longer respects himself or anyone else”
“Too many of us are only
involved in the self and how things appear from our own stand point alone”
“Until we begin to see how
our actions can hurt or harm another, then there is little hope for Mankind to
recover”
“There is such an inequality
within Mankind today”
“An example of this is the
air pollution that drifts all around China, which kills off its own land and
its own people”
“Then it drifts off over
other countries infecting and damaging their land and people and nothing is
said or done about it”
“There are wars around the
world, because of inequality and injustice to so many people. It all breeds civil wars and unrest”
“It is as if no one cares any
longer and the precious few who do get lambasted in so many ways”
“They appear to be fighting
against the tide of negativity that is wreaking havoc everywhere in the world
today!
“What is happening now is
that the tide of despair is now turning and that Spiritual Law is being
enforced in a rapid way”
“This will allow for Mankind
to start thinking with others in mind and where they will be rewarded for their
acts of kindness”
“It will continue to follow
on the more kindness that they do”
“It is a form of teaching,
where their conscience can no longer escape the penalties of what they have
done wrong”
“It goes against the good
that they will receive when they do something right”
“So like children, the entire
world over, a new concept of thinking is strongly being introduced”
“Mankind will start to calm
down and begin to mend his ways”
“It will take time, but what
is now needed and is now coming to the fore, are certain role models”
“Then young and old can start
to see the right way to conform, which is being recognised and upheld against
those who do wrong”
“It is Mankind alone that
must start to learn what is basically inherent in them”
“Man has chosen to ignore it,
hoping to continue down a road of selfishness as being the only route that he
can recognise”

shift of the mind-set to address the misdeeds done by Mankind, where good at
last can be restored”

“Just recently a wonderful
woman called Peaches Geldof parted this world. She was just 25 years old”
“Her life was struck down
when her dear mother Paula Yates died, when Peaches was just 11 years old”
“When a child loses a parent
& where there has been so much love, that soul becomes broken & it is
as if the light has gone out of her soul”
“Her loving father, Sir Bob
Geldof, was the support that kept her going”
“He was never able to
completely fill that void that was so deeply entrenched in Peaches’ heart”
“As a result, her body and
her mind still held the shock of her mother’s death”
“She carried it with her
throughout her life, never finding the peace she so badly needed”
“When you look into Peaches’
eyes, it tells the real story that she carried this grief always”
“She could not find the
solace that would really have comforted her. She was in fact pining away”
“In time she was able to find
a man who truly loved her, her husband Thomas”
“He was able for a time to
give her that valuable support of love and understanding, but the inner pain
lingered on”
“Her two beautiful young sons
gave her the anchor she felt she needed, but their birth took its toll on her
fragile body and mind”
“Peaches is a remarkable
person to have kept going as long as she did, which showed the true guts and
courage that she had”
“Eventually it became too
much and so she literally ran out of steam and could do no more”
“Peaches is now reunited with
her beautiful mother in the Spirit Realms & with the Spirit doctors &
nurses will be able to finally heal”
“That void will be filled
with the Divine love together with her mother’s for all time”
“My husband Michael and I
reunite people with their deceased loved ones, but only if they wish to come
through and make that connection”
“Peaches felt her mother’s
presence when she had her babies, so it would have been highly likely she would
have come through”
“By making that contact, both
physically and emotionally, people are able to finally heal and carry on with
their earthly lives”
“Sadly for Peaches, she was
not steered to our door and so unfortunately we were not able to make that
connection for her”
“She has now and, for Peaches
at last, she will have peace of mind”
“She will be fully healed and
restored to full health and vigour in her Spirit body”
“She will be shown ways in
how to assist in her sons’ future and give strength to her loving husband to
carry on”
“At this time she will be
held in peace and love until she fully recovers”
“She is not dead, but fully
alive and functioning”
“Sadly for many in the West,
death is a taboo subject”
“If we were born in the East,
it is normal to talk with our loved ones on a natural day to day basis.”
“They are not mad. They are
normal as their ideology is different to ours”
“They do not suffer the same
trauma that death brings to us and therefore they recover more quickly”
“They fully understand where
their loved ones have gone, while we in the West do not!
“Unless of course you are
involved in this valuable work, then many will continue to suffer the anguish
of death”
“That is the suffering that bereavement
entails”

“The Roman Catholic Church in
England & Wales has turned down a request by members for results of a
sexual ethics survey to be made public”
“This survey was commissioned
by Pope Francis”
“Reformers say that the Churches
refusal to publish results suggests the Church is not sincere about sharing
responsibilities with laypeople”
“The survey tackled subjects
such as contraception, cohabitation and homosexuality”
“It also informs the Vatican
about family life in modern day”
“Many Catholics see this as a
sign that the Church’s teachings would be reformed”
“That laypeople will have a
greater say in how the Church is governed”
“Catholic Churches in Germany
& Austria have described the wide gap between the Church’s teachings and
the behaviour of ordinary Catholics”
“Pope Francis is calling
bishops to Rome to discuss possible reform that considers modern social
realities”
“He further states the
Catholic Church is too tied up in small
minded rules”
“Had Jesus Christ been alive
in the flesh today, he would have advanced with the needs of the people”
“He would have continued his
Ministry on today’s lives and not what was appropriate 2000 years ago”
“We have all moved on since
then and life is very different from those days”
“The Catholic Church remains
entrenched in those Dark Ages because it has not caught up with today’s
problems”
“By their very actions they
prove they do not care”
“Birth control has been
practiced by well-educated Catholics for decades in total defiance of the
Catholic Church”
“Common sense and their
conscience made them realise they could not afford to have multiple children as
they could not afford them”
“Everywhere where the
Catholic Church has the greatest control is where the people are ignorant and
cannot fight back”
“Such is the stranglehold of
the indoctrination of the Church that they forget about love & survival –
that does not enter into their setup”
“An example of this is where
a young girl has just been rescued, who has been starved by her foster parents”
“They kept her in a garage
for nine years with only bread and water to live on”
“The child weighed 20 kilos
and while in captivity her only company was a dog and a monkey”
“If she ate the leftovers
from the animals she was beaten”
“Her biological parents, who
had seven more children, could not financially look after her, so she was put
with foster parents”
“This child is not alone and
where the Catholic Church is involved, so multiple children are born”
“It is regardless of whether
the parents can support them, which often is just impossible”
“The children are sent out to
work from an early age to bring money for the home, so that the family can eat”
“The Church has a lot to
answer for and cannot ever now take the moral high ground with their own
adverse codes of conduct”

“At last a result, even if it
is an almost a non-event”
“Silvio Berlusconi has been
given community service in a home for the elderly”
“This is his punishment
following his conviction last year for tax fraud”
“The 77 year old has been
spared prison, because the Italian legal system is lenient to those over
seventy”
“His alternative to the
community-service sentence would have been house arrest”
“He will work one half-day a
week at the home for the elderly and disabled people near his estate outside
Milan”
“He will also be subjected to
a curfew and banned from meeting people with criminal convictions like the
Mafia!”
“Remembering that Berlusconi
used to run Italy and has dominated politics for nearly 20 years…”
“…this verdict of having to
work in an old folks’ home is a very different experience to his time in the Prime
Minister’s palace”
“Berlusconi has now fallen a
long way and it is not over yet”
“The more he thinks he can
exert his rights, the more he will be curbed and set as an example to the world”
“His behaviour will no longer
be tolerated and many doors will be closed to him from now on”
“Whatever his arrogance may
think, this man is toxic in more ways than he will ever realise”
“The Higher Intelligence will
keep pulling him down until at last he will realise the consequences of his
actions”

will create contingency funds of $76bn by bank levies…”
“…so that the cash can be
injected before the bank actually fails, which is what happened in Cyprus and
Greece”
“They had to be bailed out
with taxpayers’ money”
“This is at least a step in
the right direction”
“This new legislation comes
in to safeguard banks doing their own irresponsible thing by running amok”
“Unfortunately the Eurozone
still does not have credible backstops to deal with a major systemic failure
like the 2008 financial crash”
“But matters are now in place
to stem this tide of deceit and appalling banking practice”
“It is up to the European
Central Bank to put safeguards in to protect the taxpayer, who is always at the
brunt of bad practice”
“This package of banking
reforms enshrines in binding rules the principle of bail-in…”

“The Guardian &
Washington Post have shared the Pulitzer Prize for public service journalism
for a series of stories on US electronic spying”
“Their reporting was based on
documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden”
“Among other winners of the
top prize in US journalism was the Boston Globe for breaking news reporting”
“Also two staff writers of
Reuters news agency were awarded the prize for international reporting”
“In the case of the Guardian
newspaper…”
“…their reporting sparked off
a debate about the relationships between Government and the public over issues
of security and privacy”
“Their publications were both
authoritative and insightful”
“This helped the public
understand where the disclosures fit in the larger framework of national
security”

the Guardian’s award is a vindication for everyone who believes that the public
has a role in Government”

without trial”

bail and has adjourned their trial four times”

condemnation, as journalists need to cover issues around the world without fear
of imprisonment”
“We must never forget Marie
Colvin”
“She was a Sunday Times
journalist and a French photographer, who were killed in the besieged Syrian
city of Homs”
“Colvin was known for wearing
a black eye patch after she lost an eye due to shrapnel wound while working in
Sri Lanka in 2001”

these kinds of work shoulder great responsibilities and sometimes they face the
ultimate price”
“We, the general public, owe
it to the brave efforts of all these courageous reporters and their colleagues”
“They keep working in the
face of extraordinary intimidation and circumstances”
“These journalistic rewards
are much needed and more should be acknowledged by the general public”

Silvio Berlusconi”

hearing upholds that conviction, he could face seven years in jail”

“The act of contrition by
Pope Francis won’t wash where the victims themselves are concerned”
“One could say this is the
first act of full admission by the Church”
“It had to be seen to be
doing something to abate the onslaught by organisations as big as the UN”
“Their open pressure and
criticism has shown the Church’s contempt to do just enough to satisfy the
media and the UN”
“It is the victims whose
lives have been wrecked by these paedophile priests”
“It is their stain that will
remain with these victims for life, something the Church still seems to be
naïve in realising”

so brutalised that one can fully understand and appreciate the horror”

innocent children have had to endure”

flippant in its handling of these cases”

sanctions they want justice”

of crime to be sentenced and jailed, not sanctioned”

about exposing all these paedophile priests”

seen by all as it will continue to bring down this Church”
“There is a need for full
examination of the Church’s motives”
“Does it want to serve the
people in a strong moral outlook and show that it is caring?”
“Or does it wish to hide
under the cloak of protection it still surrounds itself in?”
“The answer is simple”
“The world’s press and
organised groups will tear down the very fabric of this organisation and show
it for what it is”

Church every day and it only has itself to blame”

people and is only interested in its own survival!”

Richard Leakey is a former boss of the Kenyan wildlife service”

the global hub for ivory smuggling”
“Dozens of poaching bosses
have been allowed to act with outrageous impunity”
“This is clearly signifying
that corruptions and backhanders are at the very heart of this problem”
“Kenya does not deserve to
have these magnificent wild animals roaming around their lands”

African countries that are better able and more responsible to tend to these
herds?”
“Kenya does not have a divine
right to have these magnificent animals if it can’t look after them”

revenue from tourism for its wildlife”

back and start to save these endangered species”

googles and weapons against poachers not been used despite being paid for?”

sophisticated and so the protection of these wild animals needs to be stepped
up”
“These animals must be given
the chance of surviving”

rhino become extinct then…”
“…the likes of Kenya and
other African countries will need to ask themselves, did they do enough?”
“At this time Kenya has been
found wanting and it is a race against time now, such is the seriousness of
their plight”
“Ivory and rhino horn needs
to be outlawed”
“China and Asia have already
decimated these species. Perhaps it will
be better if there were no more alive in this world”
“These countries’
contemptible greed is all that they are interested in”

love for these animals who share this land with us”

what he wants and when and always on his terms”
“The people of Russia
themselves have very little freedom and have to suffer shortages on many levels”
“The Government is not
interested in their own people. This is commonly known”

the privileges and the common man takes the brunt of what is thrown at him”

the helm of power forever, if he can control events to suit his purpose”
“He is a dangerous man and a
fearful one of losing control and his power”
“Elections are rigged to keep
him in power, which is just par for the course”
“Now he is wielding his might
over Ukraine and being dictatorial towards Europe regarding gas supplies”
“He can hold them all to
ransom”
“The wakeup call for Europe
is to realise they cannot trust a despot who equally goes to bed with another,
i.e. Bashar al-Assad”
“Europe must now seek its
independence of Russia and its gas supplies”
“Eastern Europe i.e. Poland,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia have all suffered extreme hardships under
Russian dominance”
“They were forced to provide
for Mother Russia”
“They paid a huge price by
being deprived of basic human needs as Russia demanded that these countries
supplied them”
“All were unwilling, but were
forced to do so under the occupation after World War II”
“There is no compassion in
the Russian Government”
“Even Russians themselves
remain restricted in so many ways. Big brother certainly keeps an eye on them!”
“Europe needs to safeguard
itself and the Union cannot afford to be so naïve as to think that Putin is the
good guy!”
“At the rate that Putin is
extending his might and bullying tactics, all will see a backlash of biblical
proportions”

Israel does not want peace. They want ethnic cleansing so that they can occupy
more land for their own people”

their power to achieve it even if it means mass extermination of the
Palestinian people”
“Many Israelis state that the
Palestinian people do not even exist in their eyes”
“Who in this world is going
to address this situation, where the might of one race can so dominate
another’s whose rights are forfeited?

say or any International back up”

continues to support this heinous regime”

influence and the stranglehold that they have in America”

on as the injustices remain constant”
“How can we as a human race
stand by and do nothing?”
“When will it finally stop
for these people?”
“There are a few Israeli
people who are ashamed of their own Government’s extortionate policies”
“Yet precious little is done
to change the status quo and John
Kerry and the White House continue to say tut-tut and carry on”
“They are making overtures
which to them seem right, yet are a fiasco, a mockery to peace!”
“No one can now take up the
moral high ground, while we as a race continue to put up with these injustices
and do nothing”

walk all over us, as there is no deterrent for their crimes and no justice for
the Palestinian people!”

of Japan’s biggest accounting scandals, which came to light in October 2011”

turned whistle-blower revealed investment losses, which were hidden for years”
“When the scandal was made
public, the chief executive was dismissed from his post after challenging his
chairman and the board”

suspiciously large payments related to acquisitions”

investigation, which revealed a cover-up of losses going back to the 1990’s”

the poor, who often cannot afford birth control and combat the country’s high

compassion for this young woman and many like her throughout the Philippines,
where no help is given by the Church?”

dictate that more children should be born”
“The Catholic Church lost
their moral compass many years ago”
“They have no right to exert
their own hypocritical demands over those who cannot help themselves”

educated, are able to control their birth rate”

countries where they are not educated in these matters, the birth rate soars”

the Rwandan Patriotic Front, who rescued this devastated population”
“Whole families and villages
were wiped out by being macheted or clubbed to death by wielding Hutu
extremists”
“Families that were rescued
by the UN were then separated and literally farmed out to various parts of
Europe”
“Brothers separated from
sisters, mothers from husbands and children”
“Instead of saving these
desperate families who survived and…”
“…keeping them all together,
they were placed in different countries all alone and where their native
language was not spoken”
“The UN’s rescue mission such
as it was, was a sham”
“Then they literally washed
their hands of the responsibility of their own input of the genocide”
“It was French soldiers who
helped to train the Hutu extremists and even helped them to escape”
“They have the blood of the
Rwandan people on their hands”
“The world should have
stepped in and should have stopped the slaughter, but did nothing!”

“The amount of stress in
today’s life is phenomenal”
“So many people are thinking
they can no longer carry on with their lives and want to get out of it”
“Stress in today’s society is
a killer with physical ailments increasing all the time”
“Health issues, where nervous
breakdowns are the prime aspect, show increased unhappiness”
“People feel they have to shoulder
those burdens alone”
“We have become a
pill-popping nation with stress related conditions”
“The medical profession are
stumped to know what to do, never mind find a cure for it”
“Doctors are prescribing
anti-depressants as the panacea for all ills”
“Especially when they are out
of their depth to be able to treat what they do not seem to understand”
“The general public now are
at a loss in how to deal with these problems”
“Try as they may to sort
matters out, they feel overwhelmed and under supported”
“Again the medical profession
deals with the symptoms presenting, never looking at the root cause as it does
not appear to be in their remit”
“This allows for problems to
continue untreated for years”
“Eventually one pays a heavy
price with either a breakdown physically or mentally”
“Mankind must start to
realise that he is not alone and that there is help out there”
“The medical profession do
not know all the answers and so another way is found and relief on a
substantial level is achieved”
“By understanding the
problems fully, we all can start to deal with our own health issues”
“We must allow control into
our own lives without trying to work blindly all the time”
“Stress is a mental
condition, where the individual feels overloaded”
“It is by relieving that
stress mentally and emotionally that relief can come about”
“By understanding our
weaknesses & trying alternative forms of practice to rectify these
situations, so that we can become stronger mentally”
“Then we no longer feel helpless,
but finally back into control”
“There are many different
forms of therapy out there”
“It is only by deciding to
take control instead of pill-popping all the time that we can begin to get
better”
“We must address our many
fears, so that stress begins to leave us and we are no longer a slave to these
conditions”
“Where there is a will, there
is always a way!”

“Leaders of Thailand’s
pro-government movement have warned…”
“…that any attempt to oust Prime
Minister Yingluck Shinawatra could trigger a civil war”
“This warning was given to a
rally outside Bangkok. Opponents of Ms Yingluck have filed legal cases against
her”
“Months of anti-government
mass protests have failed so far to unseat her”
“The pro-government chairman
said judicial institutions were trying to take over power without elections”
“Ms Yingluck is facing
mounting legal cases, including charges of neglect of duty and abuse of power”
“There are also corruption
charges which her brother was facing and where he left the country leaving his
sister in charge”
“He is the power behind her
throne and that is why the people are so angry”
“Ms Yingluck’s party have won
the last five elections. They are known for buying their votes in the rural
areas”
“That is why the people no
longer trust this ballot box as being a fair way of electing any future Prime
Ministers”
“They wish for Thailand’s
democracy, which is deeply flawed, to be reformed before another election can
be held”
“As always it is a hold onto
power scenario, where once in the power, it is so difficult to give up and that
is why power corrupts””
“Ms Yingluck is wishing to
stay in power at whatever costs including a civil war. Yet again the people are
irrelevant”
“Thailand will have its say
and it will happen much sooner than anyone imagined”
“There are no winners right
now, but the tide is turning rapidly against this present government”

“The tragedy for Jordan as 22
of its police force have been taken to hospital after clashes with Syrian
refugees”
“This happened at the Zaatari
camp in northern Jordan”
“Security forces have used
tear gas to disperse stone-throwing refugees, who have set fire to tents and
vehicles”
“This camp houses some
106,000 refugees and has seen several protests since opening two years ago,
mainly over poor living conditions”
“Zaatari is only 12 kms from
the Syrian border”
“It is the world’s second
largest refugee camp and has now become the fourth largest city in Jordan”
“Violence broke out after
police arrested a group of refugees trying to leave the camp illegally”
“Zaatari is made up of 30,000
shelters and administration buildings”
“The cost is $500,000 a day
to run with half a million pieces of bread and 4.2m litres of water distributed
daily”
“A second overflow camp is
now under construction. It will have the capacity to host up to 130,000 people”
“The strain on Jordan is
immense even with the humanitarian aid for these displaced people”
“The financial aspect also
gives Jordan a heavy burden”
“There is always a tense
situation where frustration can overspill when refugees see no end to their
suffering”
“What they forget is that
Jordanians themselves are suffering”
“Their Government have to make
allowances for these huge amounts of people in their very small country”
“Their economic situation is
causing a huge strain, yet morally they have done the decent thing by taking in
these refugees”
“That is something that can
escape a refugee’s mind”
“Of course President Bashar
al-Assad cares nothing for his people and that is where the anger should be
placed”
“Jordan has done an amazing
job and there appears little to no thanks for the invasion to this peaceful
state”
“It is the sheer numbers which
are daunting and what this war has cost in human suffering”
“Neighbouring countries have
taken the brunt over a power hungry dictator”
“The world yet again stands
idly by and does nothing to end this war”
“The prolonged agony carries
on to the people and all neighbouring countries as well! “

“The people of Afghanistan
are voting for a new President in what will be the nation’s first ever transfer
of power through the ballot box”
“A massive security operation
is under way to thwart the Taliban, who have vowed to disrupt the election”
“It is time now that the
people of Afghanistan really voiced their opinion”
“They need to seek their
rights and independence from a force bent on fear”
“Only the people themselves
will have this power & where there may be some overlap of voting the vast
majority will see it as legal & fair”
“Many of the Afghan soldiers
will also want to express their right as well as the ordinary people”
“They have fought bravely to
bring stability to their own country and where the law is enforced a greater
democratic power is given”
“Start to see a new
Afghanistan approach where fear no longer applies”
“The people are defiant
against a regime that is hell bent on crushing them”
“This will be no more and
every day renewed confidence in this country evolves”
“The people are more secure
and less tolerate of the Taliban, whose influence is waning because of their
archaic ways”
“Start to see new life and impetus
returning to this troubled land”
“Even though there will be
some disruption, the democratic process will win the day”

“A court in Mumbai has found
three men, who have already been convicted of two gang rapes…”
“…guilty under a new law that
carries the death penalty”
“Both the victims, a
telephone operator and a photojournalist, were attacked in separate incidents
at an abandoned textile mill in the city”
“The 18 year old telephone
operator came forward to report that she has been assaulted in the same place a
month earlier”
“It shows systemic acts of
pure violence, almost as if the gang were waiting for their next prey”
“It is the first time the new
law targeting repeat sex offenders has been used in India. Both trials were
fast tracked”
“Last month a Mumbai court
sentenced four men to life in prison for the gang rape of the telephone
operator”
“Three of those sentenced
were also convicted of the gang rape of a photojournalist last August”
“In India, where a rape is
recorded every 22 minutes, it is a frightening realism”
“Scrutiny over sexual
violence has grown since the gang rape and murder of a 23 year old student on a
bus in Delhi”
“The attack on the Mumbai
photojournalist has renewed public outrage at India’s high level of sexual
violence”
“It’s high time that these
crimes were further highlighted & that the general public pushed for
further safeguards on women in their society”
“India has let their female
population down”
“It is now down to women to
fight back with greater protests for their species to be honoured and not
brutalised”
“After all, these thugs all
had mothers and where does it leave them?”
“Completely defenceless, as
this brutal mind-set continues to act in this cowardly way”
“India, you have let down
almost half of your population”
“What a state to be in, in
what they purport to be a civilised society”

“Moscow is pressing NATO to
explain its plans to enhance its military presence in Eastern Europe”
“Russian Foreign Minister,
Sergei Lavrov, expects answers based fully on the respect for the rules agreed
on in NATO”
“The NATO Secretary General,
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has denied the alliance has broken an agreement with
Moscow”
“He further accuses Russia of
violating every international commitment it has made by annexing Crimea”
“NATO has said it will
continue to carry out collective defence to protect its member states and to
reinforce Eastern Europe”
“NATO has halted all civilian
and military co-operations with Russia”
“Russian’s annexation of
Crimea has been described as the gravest threat to European security for
generations”
“There are grave concerns
over the massive build-up of Russian troops on Ukraine’s Eastern border amid
fears of an invasion”
“Russia cannot image it can
do what it likes without reprisals”
“We all understand the
significance of wanting the Crimea back into the fold”
“They continue to think of it
as part of their great Russian territory”
“It was the brutal way in
which it was conducted that has alarmed the West and NATO and so defensive
measures needed to be taken”
“A tit for tat situation is
never advisable, but where diplomacy had failed there has been little choice
left open to NATO at this stage”
“All sides, both East and
West, have behaved badly, where guns once again are left pointing at each other”
“We are all in this world
together and there has to be accountability on both sides and where the West
has to withdraw as well as the East”
“If we don’t trust each other
by our respective deeds then we dive down into a hell of like for like and the
downward spiral starts to grow”
“Constructive talks need to
be dealt with and where all must do the right thing and that includes Russia”
