“What is needed now for the
Eurozone is to strengthen in its commitment to bringing Greece to the table”
“They must be advised on
other issues to save their flagging economy”
“Greece needs to understand
it can no longer expect the Eurozone to turn a blind eye to Greece’s increasing
intractable demands”
“Greece really is in no
position to demand anything any longer”
“They have continually
overstepped the mark and continue to isolate themselves from any radical
reforms”
“Their positon is completely
untenable and they have no outside creditors willing to entertain their demands
to remain solvent”
“Greece has to start looking
to themselves for hard-line solutions of which they have no choice now but to
meet”
“The Greek people are naïve
if they think that austerity measures will simply go away”
“The country is already in
too much hock to too many creditors”
“It needs to step back from
the coal face and begin to see an alternative route”
“By being plunged once again
into the abyss without a lifeline, so it is hoped that they will come to their
senses”
“They need to bring about a
system of reforms, which must be implemented if Greece wants to stay alive and
not dead?”
“Whatever the European
situation might think that without Greece Europe will fall, will never happen”
“Europe will just close its
ranks and become stronger, as it will always attract strength and outside
investments”
“Europe’s economic strategies
are founded on long-term, sound economic practices"
“Europe will always survive
without Greece, but Greece cannot survive without Europe!”

“The special relationship
between President Obama and Angela Merkel has re-connected in a more
stabilising way”
“They are now singing from
the same hymn sheet”
“Both see internal and
external terrorism as a situation that is dire and is under the control of a
handful of extremists groups”
“Together they have put in
place a package of defence mechanisms, which suits all their policies except
one”
“That still needs to be
addressed – the complexities of the Iran/Iraq situation”
“There has been a rift
between Iran and Iraq for decades”
“Now that is being healed by
the continuous influence of the US and Germany”
“Many behind the scenes
scenarios are being conducted by them”
“They bring new powers
together to deal with the barbaric gains by IS to date”
“Angela Merkel and President
Obama have organised a series of extensive talks”
“These will construct better
policies of how to drive out IS today and in the future”
“They both see key elements
of substantial funding in NATO and beyond to secure all interests”
“These are to deal with the
IS expanding ideology”
“The new structure of
strategic events will be shown to the world and where they both begin to take
an active role together”
“Foreign policies are high on
the agenda and with mutual interests these can be accomplished”
“The economies of both the US
& Europe have also been discussed & will be strengthened by trade &
the foreign exchanges of ideas & services”
“Begin to see a more robust
outlook and outcome by these two nations”
“This will allow others to
come in as working partnerships, where all will gain”
“Monetary policies are seen
as a strengthening virtue and, where other countries cannot re-build their
failing economies, help will be given
“The US and Germany are now
in the driving seat”
“See the many changes
occurring on many fronts – all of which will be positive”

“Greece with so many of their
concessions having already been extinguished, it is now up to the Greek people
to see the light”
“Because of the many
continuous mistakes made by their own corrupt politicians…”
“…the Greeks must accept a
package of extreme hardships in order to re-float their sagging economy”
“Until their own economy is
brought back from the brink of total collapse, nothing will ever be the same
again”
“Greece can survive outside
the Eurozone, but it will be a very hard austere life”
“Greeks enjoy the good life
and when they are expected to truly work for their luxuries they are not
prepared to do so”
“Such is their own mentality
and work ethics”
“An example of this was in
the preparation of the Olympic Games held in Athens in 2004”
“This was turning into a
theatre of the absurd”
“The IOC has already warned
Greece about the delays in construction for those games”
“Athens looked like a
building site and as usual things were left to the last minutes before
situations started to turn around”
“The IOC President at the
time Jacques Rogge issued a stark warning for the Greeks to pull their socks up”
“Even in 2000 Rogge’s predecessor
threatened to take the games away if things did not improve”
“It was in the last months
before the Games opened that help was given by neighbouring countries”
“They had to assisted with
the backlog of work so that Athens could have their games”
“It is this mentality that
has come to bite them hard”
“No longer will they be
allowed to pull the wool over Europe’s eyes and cheat their way out of what is
not their entitlement”
“They are between a rock and
a hard place. There is no easy solution and they must now fight to stay alive!”

“New Zealand’s South Island
and some parts of Australia have been treated to the Aurora Australis, a natural light display in the sky”
“There was a solar storm”
“This allows the Aurora Australis in the southern
hemisphere to become more visible much further north than it usually is”
“Aurorae occur when cosmic
rays or solar wind interacts with the earth’s upper atmosphere”
“Another view of its activity
will be shown this Thursday giving New Zealanders another chance to see this
amazing phenomenon”
“Many New Zealanders have
already braved the cold conditions to capture and enjoy this amazing sight”
“In the northern Hemisphere,
Finland, Iceland and Northern Canada are able to see these northern lights more
frequently”
“But for those who live in
New Zealand, it is a rare sight and a rare treat indeed”
“Many people have already
waited years to see this phenomenon with one man who has already been chasing
aurorae for the last 15 years”
“He is truly ecstatic with
the amazing sights”
“All things that are natural
in the world are beautiful”
“We should never take these
for granted. We are after all truly blessed”

“Is Greece playing the
Russian card against Europe?”
“The Greek Syriza Government
chose the pro-Russian right wing populist ANEL party”
“This is the Greek version of
UKIP, as its coalition partner over the pro-European Potami party”
“A distant threat that Greece
might leave NATO and sell a naval base to Russia would be a serious matter”
“Not just for Europe, but for
the US as well”
“Greece’s playing around with
Russia could get Europe and the US to focus on geopolitics rather than its
fiscal counting”
“The US and the IMF feel that
Greece needs a cut in its debt burden anyway”
“By dealing with Russia it
hopes it would strengthen Greece’s hand in its demands for a big debt write off”
“This of course is not easy,
when Cyprus wanted to get money to avoid asking for a European bailout…”
“…its finance minister came
back empty handed. At that time Russia was awash with oil”
“The problem with Greece is
it is not just a matter of plugging a hole for a short-term fiscal loan for a
few billion euros”
“Russia is now in deep
recession and it will not be able to be the backstop for these huge Greek
amounts”
“Greece needs a backstop for
its banking system”
“Already the European Central
Bank (ECB) had reached a peak of 135 billion euros at the time of the Greeks
repeat election in June 2012”
“A bank backstop is the
financial support for banks”
“Whereas for Governments it
is used to mean their debts can be guaranteed by a central bank”
“The only possible backstop
for Greek banks in the euro is the ECB”
“If Greece decided to renege
on its obligations to Europe and the IMF…”
“…and turned to Russia
instead for a small bridging loan, the ECB support for Greek banks would have
to stop”
“A Russian loan would not
help Greece at all”
“The coalition of Syriza and
ANEL may have inclined to a pro-Russian line, but it would be toying with their
key national interests”
“Greece sits on an exposed
corner of Europe”
“It is close to the war torn
regions of Syria and Libya and next to their neighbour Turkey, who they are
afraid of”
“For Greece to exchange
wealthy and powerful allies, such as Europe and the US for Russia would not be
wise”
“Russia is visibly crumbling
under its economic incompetence and the Greek people would not let Syriza-ANEL
get away with it”
“Greece badly needs fresh
money and a reliable backstop. This it can only get from Europe and the IMF”
“Flirting with Russia won’t
help Greece secure better terms from the only realistic leaders it has”
“It is high time that Greece
comes to terms that the financial hardships were caused by mismanagement of
their respective economies”
“Japan took ten years to turn
over its indebted economy and Germany after the war took even longer”
“It is high time that Greece
understood that it can no longer expect other countries to continually bail it
out”
“It has to start the long
road to recovery and to become strong again”
“It is in their hands alone.
Help is there, but not on their terms any longer!”

“The Queen has visited the
Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany with her husband, the Duke of
Edinburgh “
“It was at this camp, where
thousands died that were Jews, gypsies and homosexuals”
“It was also at this camp
that the teenage diarist, Anne Frank and her sister died”
“The Queen with Prince Philip
visited a memorial to Anne Frank”
“The Queen laid a wreath at
the camp in memory of all those who died there”
“It was in 1945 when British
soldiers liberated the camp”
“They saw the many horrors
that words cannot express adequately about what happened there”
“The Queen’s presence has
shown that complete reconciliation has taken place between Britain and Germany”
“Mankind still has not learnt
about the atrocities of war”
“Many still want to remember,
but not enough is done to prevent these happenings occurring again”
“Solutions to long term
sufferings need to be addressed more thoroughly, so that atrocities can be
avoided throughout this world”
“We all must move forwards to
find peace and justice and eliminate sufferings that cause so much hardship to
so many”

“Massive street protests in
Argentina on the 3rd June called for an end to the killing of women”
“Tens of thousands of people
mostly women, but many men as well, took to the streets to demand an end to
violence against women”
“They protested in particular
against femicides, the killing of women because of their gender”
“It was the female
journalists who organised the rally after they heard of the death of a 14 year
old girl murdered because she was pregnant”
“The slaying of the girl
called Chiara Paez, who was buried alive, was the latest in a long line of
female casualties”
“The female journalists said
that they would raise their voices to say ‘THEY ARE KILLING US’”
“The march saw over 150,000
people, who gathered in the capital alone”
“Many people were surprised
as they hadn’t realised that male chauvinism was such a big issue”
“Argentina has a female president
in Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner”
“They also had the famous
first lady Eva Peron, who fought for women’s rights in the 1950’s”
“Now the Argentine Supreme
Court and the Human Rights Secretariat will create a register on violence
against women”
“They hope to have the
information by the end of the year”
“Most Latin American
countries have this problem with El Salvador and Mexico being the worst, where
women are killed daily”
“A women’s shelter carried
out a national estimate showing that a women is killed every 31 hours”
“It is now known that more
than 1,800 women have been shot, stabbed, beaten, burned, strangled or drowned
to death since 2008”
“That is when these records
began”
“Argentine’s Congress passed
a bill in 2012 increasing the jail sentences for gender related violence”
“Femicides differ from other
crimes, because the killer is the husband, boyfriend or former partner of the
victim”
“This was one of the main
issues addressed by the protest march”
“This male-on-female violence
stems from a culture, which allows men to see women as objects”
“These marches will continue
to increase until a notable advancement in public re-education is realised”
“People are now fighting
back. This brutal culture has to be changed!”

“More and more tons of
confiscated ivory is being crushed. This is another example, which has recently
happened in New York’s Time Square”
“This sends out a strong
message that the illegal trade in ivory will no longer be tolerated”
“The global ivory trade leads
to the slaughter of 35,000 elephants a year in Africa alone”
“Elephants are being
slaughtered every 15 minutes and theirs is a gruesome death”
“Elephants will become
extinct in a few years’ time unless this insatiable appetite for ivory ceases
altogether”
“New York’s crushing and then
burning of the ivory sends out a clear message to the world”
“Ivory has no commercial use
in the market place anymore”
“The obtaining of ivory will
become a taboo subject”
“Purchasers will be held to
account that they participated in the wholesale slaughter of elephants”
“If one does not want
elephants to die then don’t buy the ivory in the first place – that is the
clear message here”
“Anyone holding or displaying
items of ivory is complicit in the crimes against elephants”
“Ivory is rendered an illegal
product from now on”
“It is up to China now to set
an example to all its citizens and to confiscate all ivory from domestic and
commercial use”
“Until the blackening of the
names of those who sell and own ivory, no elephant will ever be safe to roam
around freely on this land!”

Guatemalan man received a hero’s welcome after a 200km march in protest against
his Government’s corruption”
“Oswaldo Ochoa was cheered
and applauded from crowds of supporters on his arrival into Guatemala City”
“Mr Ochoa said he was
inspired by Gandhi and he wants social, political and agricultural changes”
“Already a series of
corruption scandals had forced the resignation of Vice-President Roxana
Baldetti to occur last month”
“Mr Ochoa left his home a
week ago”
“His Guatemalan flag wrapped
around his neck as a cape”
“He joins a growing movement
of Guatemalans demanding the resignation of President Otto Perez Molina”
“In addition to Mr Ochoa’s
protest he went on hunger strike during his journey only drinking tea and
juices”
“When Mr Ochoa reached the
capital he called on all Guatemalans to rise up against the impunity of corrupt
politicians”
“They who had taken public
money to fill their own coffers”
“It is only the power of the
people who will be able to change the tide of corruptions throughout the world”
“The fight against this
global disease of corruption is gathering momentum and those involved will see
their days coming to an end!”
