“Why is the US losing
its credibility in today’s world?”
“The world is upside
down just now”
“The US’s situation
with its constant meddling and interest driven aspects, do not hold up well
with other countries around the world”
“If the US wants
credibility again, which it is at present losing, then it needs to get engaged”
“This means it needs
to sort out its foreign policies”
“It has to
re-structure and deal with problems head on instead of pussyfooting around
doing just a bit here and a bit there”
“The United States of
America are getting nowhere”
“The world in general
has lost respect for America and this is ever increasing”
“It will not go away
until America deals with the important issues it set itself out to do”
“America has failed in
Afghanistan with the Taliban”
“A mindless exercise
and increased opium production to the world bringing in abject misery to
millions”
“The unlawful Iraq War
was fuelled by a maniac, whose objective was oil”
“The results have been
untold misery that the US are now reaping”
“IS is hitting back on
the useless strategies by US’s puppet controlled politicians”
“America supports an
ongoing situation in Palestine, because they continually defend a dictatorial
situation and an open concentration camp”
“Their record in
dealing with strategies that have no proper outcome is monstrous as far as the
world can see”
“They continue to
raise havoc everywhere”
“All America sees and
does is for their own interests and not for the interests of the world at
large”
“Winston Churchill
went in to fight a war against a dictatorship regime”
“Do not think it was
only because America entered in that the war was won”
“It was with the
extensive help of Russia fighting with the allies that defeated the problem”
“The job was done for
the greater good and with much co-operation and strategy the war was won”
“It is high time that
America grew up and stopped thinking of themselves as a superpower”
“That situation is now
subsiding and there are other players, who can unite if necessary to sort out
other solutions”
“America no longer
controls with the big stick. It has failed the world in so many ways and
brought about abject destruction and misery”
“The reasons for this
are that they have not thought out all the consequences of their actions and so
must now pay the price for failure”
“America is also in
hock to China for trillions due to the Iraq War – again not thinking with their
heads, but with their egos all the time”
“Respect needs to be
gained by doing the right thing for all and not just for the interests of
America”
“Take a leaf out of
history and learn from those who knew better”
“Winston Churchill is
a prime example. He put his neck on the line and saw the job through”
“He is respected
throughout history as a great leader”
“Another great leader
was Mikhail Gorbachev, who was the first President of the Soviet Union”
“He was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in ending the Cold War and promoting
peaceful international relations”
“Others in this world
should follow the examples of these great leaders”
“They knew what their
responsibilities were and dealt with them head on!”

“The unusual situation
of Kenya’s new Central Bank Governor is that he has rejected the grand house that
comes with his prestigious job”
“This is a rare move
indeed, especially in a country that is rife with corruption”
“Patrick Njoroge is a
member of the Catholic group Opus Dei and appears to be on a different planet
to the rest of his colleagues”
“Mr Njoroge is being
challenged by his preference to a simple life”
“Kenyans are used to
their senior government officials leading lavished lifestyles”
“Mr Njoroge has
decided to live in Nairobi’s Loresho Estate instead of the luxurious Muthaiga
Estate”
“This is where
officials drive around in Range Rovers or Mercedes Benz accompanied by security
cars”
“Mr Njoroge will live
with his Roman Catholic Opus Dei organisation. Opus Dei means ‘work of God’”
“Members of Opus Dei
aim to live their lives with humility, justice, integrity and solidarity”
“They work hard
dealing with honesty and fairness
“Opus Dei states that
in God’s eyes what matters is the love that people put into their work, not in
its success in terms of money or fame”
“When Mr Njoroge was vetted
for the job by MP’s for the Governor’s position, they were surprised he did not
own any property in Kenya”
“Patrick Njoroge’s
life reveals a rare and unique quality that is so far removed from the
corruption that is endemic in Kenya today”
“His colleagues are
equally taken by him and say he is devoid of ego and is instinctively averse to
any self-advertisement”
“Having got the right
credentials, it is now hoped he can be an example to higher officials, who wish
to exploit their roles in office!”

“Today is the
anniversary of Israel’s ‘Operation: Protective Edge’”
“It raised havoc
across Gaza killing over 2,200 Palestinians and injured another 11,000 people”
“This war caused
unprecedented damage to Gaza’s healthcare sector”
“Twelve months on,
this scandal continues and not one of the 19,000 homes that were destroyed or severely
damaged have been rebuilt”
“There are over
100,000 people still who remain homeless”
“In Gaza things can be
done. The humanitarian situation has been sacrificed by the political logjam”
“This further breeds
contempt and so conflict in the future becomes inevitable”
“It is the failure by
the politicians to realise their humanitarian responsibilities, which is so
shocking and disgraceful”
“The Israeli Defence
Minister Moshe Ya’alon stated in June that there was no humanitarian distress
in Gaza”
“As always these lies
are given out as if they are of no count”
“It is the doctors on
the ground in Gaza that are treating the Gazan people, who will testify to the
contrary”
“These doctors that
work for the World Health Organisation are in a position to voice the truth in
these matters as they see them”
“They have nothing to
gain”
“It is these doctors
working on the ground, who continue to state that Gaza has failed to recover
from the latest devastation”
“As a result it
continues to drain away any hope for a better future for the people”
“Surgeons still have
to operate by the light from their mobile phones due to the continuing power
cuts”
“At this time 30% of
essential medicines are at zero stock”
“Patients are being
denied permission to travel for life saving assistance”
“These are the daily
battles which face the Gazan people”
“Some 60% of Gaza’s
young people are unemployed”
“Tens of thousands of
public sector workers have not been paid for months”
“120,000 Palestinians
are not connected to a water network, which still has not been repaired, after
damage caused by missiles”
“The Gaza
Reconstruction Mechanism (GRM) was designed to facilitate the essential
construction materials needed”
“These materials are
cement, aggregate and reinforced steel bars”
“These vital
construction materials are not getting through in any kind of sufficient
quantity”
“The GRM depends on
the UN & the Palestinian Authority to take effective measures &
responsibilities for the proper use of these materials”
“As always it is the
civilians in Gaza, who are paying the price for political failures”
“The international
community should not base the opening of Gaza to humanitarian aid on the basis
that there is a political resolution first”
“Opening up the boarders
so that adequate supplies of essential needs together with the freedom for
patients to attend medical help…”
“…are not unrealistic
asks, yet these continue to be obstructed”
“It has to be down to
the UN, as the leader of Gaza’s humanitarian aid & recovery, to deal with
this over & above dysfunctional politics”
“When will the people
of the world react to prevent further suffering to the people who live in an
open concentration camp with no respite?”
“Do we, as Mankind,
ever have a conscience to allow these atrocities to continue and do absolutely
nothing?”
“The UN should be
ashamed of themselves!”

“Prayers in the
boardroom are used before making important decisions, this is happening in a
Chinese real estate giant Tentimes Group”
“Three-quarters of the
firm’s eight strong senior management team are Christians”
“Their Founder and
Chairman Wang Ruoxiong became a Christian seven years ago”
“Wang Ruoxiong says
when the company has to make a difficult decision they turn to the Bible for
guidance”
“He further states
that God controls everything and that he is merely the housekeeper of Jesus”
“It is Jesus, who
assists him in taking care of the company”
“He also states that
his Christian beliefs are not entirely what drives the company, as he has
employees who have technical skills”
“It is these skills
and following Christian values that have made the company more effective”
“Wang Ruoxiong says
his employees feel cared for, which make them perform better”
“By treating their
suppliers more fairly, it has created stronger relationships with them”
“It is this experience
of love that has helped this company survive despite increasing competition
worldwide”
“Wang Ruoxiong’s
senior managers are also willing to use Christian values in their own work and
life and so their values get passed down”
“This leads to shared
values with their employees and then towards the entire company, making the
company truly irreplaceable”
“It is certainly rare
to hear of a company boss, who is so open about his religion at work”
“Organisations
themselves might make allowances for their staff to practice their religious
faith”
“However it is rare
that those at the top are open about their beliefs”
“Gavin Oldham is an
executive chairman of a retail stockbroker – The Share Centre”
“He is an elective lay
member of the General Synod of the Church of England”
“He openly states this
on his website biography, as he never hides his Christian beliefs, but he does
not flash them about”
“He is mindful of
others, whose beliefs might differ from his own”
“Nevertheless he
states that his faith does guide his business life as well as his personal
life. He believes in God’s unconditional love”
“This he applies in
his own life”
“By loving ones
neighbour as yourself, it provides a structure for when Oldham needs to make
difficult business decisions”
“It ensures him
consistency, which allows him to make better judgements at work”
“There is another who
shares his values and that is Whole Foods Market co chief executive Walter
Robb”
“He says, “Spirituality is often a charged word for
people. It can be easily replaced with love!””
“Walter Robb
appreciates that love at work may seem equally inappropriate”
“He believes it gives
a softer approach from those at the top, as the firm is a part of worldwide
responsibilities”
“These can be very
powerful indeed”
“It has been Jenny and
Michael Ayers’ job to assist companies with help and direction from God”
“This has helped to
turned so many companies around”
“Of course this advice
is purely confidential and it is only those at the top of these companies who
have sought this advice”
“So they steered their
business to ever increasing success”
“Because this is a
personal thing, it does not mean that the advice given is reduced in anyway”
“It has to be those at
the top of their professions, who benefit the most”
“They are able to
steer their companies into unchartered waters, where the bigger benefits can
come in”
“While the company
gains so the entire staff gains also”
“This is all about
advice and strategy for the Greater Good, for all the company and throughout
the world”

“Pope Francis has
arrived in Ecuador
“It is his first visit
to the Spanish-speaking part of America since becoming Pope”
“His message to the
people is of solidarity, especially for the poor of this region”
“At the same time he
is trying to rally his Church of dwindling numbers”
“Pope Francis has been
seen as ‘the Pope of the poor’”
“He chose Ecuador,
Bolivia and Paraguay, as they are the poorest and most marginal nations of the
region”
“This complete region
has 40% of the world’s Catholics”
“Falling world prices
of oil and minerals in Ecuador has threatened their way of life”
“Pope Francis will be
forced to confront issues on many sex scandals that have tainted the Church”
“These issues have
resulted in their dwindling numbers”
“As one of those
sexually abused victims has mentioned, the Church’s punishment of paedophiles
is an insult to humanity”
“Pope Francis is
likely to raise environmental concerns with the leaders of Bolivia”
“Bolivia has promoted
mining and drilling in wilderness areas”
“Pope Francis feels
there is a need to protect nature and the poor”
“It is the poor that
are the ones who suffer most when these activities are exploited”
“At the same time he
rejects today’s profit-at-all costs mentality in favour of the Christian view
of economic progress”
“This tends to respect
human rights and safeguards to the environment”
“Ecuador has 79% of
its population as Catholics, Bolivia has 77% and Paraguay has 89%”
“It is of huge
interest to the Catholic Church to maintain these numbers and therefore
ensuring their own security”
“There must be a more
hands on approach by the Catholic Church regarding poverty and deprivation”
“This can only come
about when methods of birth control are in operation”
“The Catholic Church
needs to take their collective responsibly in keeping their flock free from
harm and poverty”
“Until the Catholic
Church comes into the 21st Century themselves, they have no right to
preach to those who constantly struggle”
“Their bishops live a
life of luxury, which they do not deserve or have earned”
“There should be more
giving by the Church and not continually taking away”
“Until the Catholic
Church starts acting by example, as to what they preach, they will have little
respect by their congregation”

are leaving the Church”

deprivation”
“Deprivation means
those souls have no roof over their heads, no running water or toilet
facilities and no access to electricity”

aside extremist’s behaviour, then acts of deprivation will continue to grow for
millions”

nothing to help the deprived, we cannot then expect help when it is our turn to

Inka Road (Quechua spelling of Inca) stands as one of the monumental
engineering achievements in history”

25,000 miles long, which crosses over mountains and tropical lowlands, rivers
and deserts”
“The Great Road links
the sacred city of Cusco, the administrative capital and spiritual centre of

visitors will enjoy unusual glimpses of the roads using digital visualisation
alongside 200 rare Inca objects and artefacts”
“The building of these
roads, built in the 15th Century, were constructed without the
wheel, large livestock or even metal tools”
“The roads were
literally dug into the rock faces and are linked up by 200 bridges”
“The roads are paved
with blocks of stone, reinforced with retaining walls, which allow for the
water from the rocks to drain through”
“Managing the flows of
water along the road also enabled the engineers to preserve these enormous
highways”
“It is all due to the
superlative engineering principles that cut through some of the most extreme
terrains in the world”
“They are spanning
rain forests, deserts and high mountains”
“Today at least 500
communities still use these roads as the only pathway for communication and
also for their trading”
“These roads are not
just physical structures, but living roads”
“When talking to
people who walk the Inca Trail they say “We are never tired””
““The llamas and the
donkeys that walk the Inca Trail never get tired, because the old path has the
blessings of the Inca””
“This ancient highway
is also known as the Royal Road, literally translated as “Road of the Lord.””
“This road binds
people of different ethnicities across the vast Andean region”
“For them it is not
only special, but sacred for those who travel on it”
“They feel blessed and
rejuvenated all the time!”

“Construction of the
Inka Road (Quechua spelling of Inca) stands as one of the monumental
engineering achievements in history”
“The road is a network
25,000 miles long, which crosses over mountains and tropical lowlands, rivers
and deserts”
“The Great Road links
the sacred city of Cusco, the administrative capital and spiritual centre of
the Inca world…”
“…to the farthest
reaches of its empire”
“This road continues
today to serve the Andean communities across Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia,
Argentina and Chile”
“It is a sacred space
and symbol of cultural continuity”
“The monumental
undertaking of this road is focussed at an exhibition”
“It is at the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC “The Great Inka Road: Engineering and
Empire””
“At the exhibition
visitors will enjoy unusual glimpses of the roads using digital visualisation
alongside 200 rare Inca objects and artefacts”

“Greece’s problems are
not all their own, other countries in the Eurozone also face hardships,
especially in the southern parts of Europe”
“There needs to be a
serious overhaul to the European Union as a whole”
“Everyone knew that
Greece should not have got rid of their drachma in 2001 and adopt the euro
currency”
“Greece was never
ready to join the Eurozone and many economists knew that, so did the Greeks
themselves and many in Brussels also”
“The arrogance of
Eurozone operatives wanting to establish a European super-state overrode
realistic achievements”
“Those driving to
create this super-state went full steam ahead and invited Athens with all their
problems to join”
“The European leaders
decided to turn a blind eye to fundamental weaknesses and imbalances to member
state economies”
“These finance
ministers did not want to see any problems and therefore did not want to deal
with them”
“Economic policies in
the southern countries of Europe have caused a lack of growth and a lack of job
creation”
“This has led to
economic stagnation, which has led to enormous levels of debt”
“The EU is in
desperate need of reform”
“Something Mr Cameron,
the UK’s Prime Minister, is calling out for – he is not alone in his criticism”
“The EU in its present
form has now grown so big that it is like the albatross that is too big to
manage”
“The EU interferes in
all aspects of civilian life in every EU member country”
“It is the economic
and political power, which has been taken away from nation countries and been
shifted to Brussels”
“Brussels’ decision
making bodies are not elected and are never accountable to national
Governments”
“It is the bureaucrats
in Brussels, who have a taste for power and do not wish to relinquish it!”
“Many referendums on
EU treaties have been ignored and national courts overruled”
“The sovereignty of
national parliaments has been continuously eroded”
“This has caused the
EU to have grown into this organisation, which regards itself as an eventual
United States of Europe”
“This being the case,
it will lose its values on liberty and economic freedom”
“Nations once had the
opportunity for self-rule and determination”
“It is the actions of
Brussels with their power hungry operatives and intransigence that has led to
political and economic instability”
“The likes of which
have not been seen in decades”
“The current EU has
not created tranquillity, peace and prosperity”
“Instead it created
instability, disenchantment and contempt”
“This is occurring
right across Europe, as Greece is today. They are not alone in their feelings”
“Power must leave
Brussels and return to the European nations to end all their misery and
injustice”
“This will allow
economic policies to be adjusted in these countries”
“Brussels continues to
waste money and continues to borrow money far more than it is entitled to”
“Europe has already
paid dearly for Brussels power crazy incompetence!”

“Drugs & their
proliferation is becoming an increasing concern, as the Afghanistan Government
becomes increasingly vulnerable & unstable”
“Afghanistan already
produces 90% of the world’s opium and its flow is likely to increase”
“The Afghanistan
Government is losing control of the Afghan/Tajik border”
“Hundreds of Afghan
and Pakistani Taliban and Central Asian fighters and half a dozen different
groups have seized control”
“This is in large
parts of the northern Taliban provinces, which borders Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan
and Tajikistan”
“As the worsening
military situation occurs in Afghanistan, so the flow of drugs increases”
“The warlords and the
extremists get more control on the Afghan side of the border”
“Much of their funding
for their military groups comes from drug trafficking”
“These Central Asian
militant groups are the prime traffickers of drugs into Russia, Europe and then
on into China as well”
“The Taliban and IS
are involved in trafficking drugs”
“Many Afghans are now
living in Moscow and other Russian towns”
“They want their share
of the huge profits that ensue once the drugs reach Russia and Europe”
“Russian ministers
realise that the volume of drug production in Afghanistan is growing at a
threatening pace”
“The income is being
taken by the militant groups in these countries and beyond its borders”
“In 2014 Tajik Drug
Control Agency captured six tonnes of heroin and opium”
“That is the tip of
the iceberg of the 6,500 tonnes of production in Afghanistan”
“Again we have America
to thank, as they have encouraged the production of poppies in Afghanistan”
“The US involvement
has brought the drug war and production over the last thirteen years, while
they have been in the country”
“It was done to pacify
the public there”
“It maintains the
loyalty of the warlords and opens up the country to resource extraction and
military bases”
“As long as the
warlords get their pay, the US is able to maintain some control over the
hinterland”
“This is beyond Kabul,
where it is the big part of their game plan”

“The science of
biomimicry or bionics is advancing in new ways to tackle modern issues for
medicine, food security and waste removal”
“This is done by
observing the processes in nature that deal with the same problems”
“An example here would
be how to understand about the surface of an aloe plant, which allows it to
stay clean if it grows in mud”
“If we look at nature,
we see that there is always energy around everywhere”
“It is locally
supplied and you do not need to be connected to the national grid”
“The use of our huge
waterfalls, which feed into lakes, are used in making electricity and this
nature provides constantly”
“Michael Pearce
designed the Eastgate building in Harare, Zimbabwe after he saw a documentary
on termite mounds”
“These mounds can
control the internal humidity and temperature, even when external temperatures
change dramatically”
“Pearce realised that
humans occupying a building give off heat, 80% of that energy is dispersed in a
form of waste heat”
“He saw the building
not as a form of concrete, but as an extension of our own metabolism works and
so designed the building accordingly”
“Scientists were
inspired to replicate dermal denticles or little skin teeth”
“These scales make up
sharkskin, which allows water to flow easily and discourages parasite growth,
such as algae and barnacles”
“By replicating these
dermal denticles, scientists put them on the bottom of boats and cargo ships”
“This allowed for less
fuel to drive the boats, as the hulls remain clean and do not require harsh
cleaning chemicals to do the job”
“This technique is now
being applied to create clean surfaces in hospitals, so that they can resist
bacteria growth”
“The bacteria can’t
catch hold on those surfaces”
“So the goal is to
create products, processes and policies – new ways of living that are well
adapted on earth for our futures”
