“North Korea is bound in the
past, but fiercely needs to accommodate the future”
“Their leader, Kim Jong-un,
is a miserable and erratic man, who wishes to maintain his iron type grip on
his nation of suffering people”
“No one there is happy, as
austerity on every level is normal practice”
“The people are not allowed
to think for themselves”
“They have to hold the party
line – otherwise extreme measures of punishment will ensue”
“There was a start by Kim
Jong-un to bring about reforms in 2012”
“Then the country’s
agriculture was partially switched to a better household-based model”
“North Korean farmers had
worked for fixed rations for decades”
“Since 2013 farmers received
30% of their total harvest, now in 2015 that figure is expected to double to
60%”
“The new system has made
farmers work harder and they have taken on greater responsibility”
“The results now are quite
remarkable. With 2013-2014 they have enjoyed bumper harvests”
“Even when North Korea had a
drought in the spring of 2014 it did not negatively impact on the recovery of
North Korean agriculture”
“The next steps were for some
twenty-odd special economic zones to be created”
“This would allow for foreign
investors to develop a market economy under the close eye of North Korean
officials”
“This procedure was widely
discussed and commonly known”
“The managers were promised
the right to buy raw materials and sell the finished products freely at market
value”
“These managers were given the
right to pay wages to their staff that they considered fit to benefit”
“These state-appointed
managers would acquire a level of freedom similar to private entrepreneurs in
regular market economies”
“This new management system
was to start right across the country in 2015”
“This would be with nearly
all industrial enterprises switching to the new model, but it did not happen!”
“Chinese nationals, who are
allowed into the country and where information is able to seep out, all say the
same thing”
“Reforms are not being
implemented and another stop has been imposed”
“Foreign investors find the
rules set by the North Korean Government are always changing and they continue
to feel frustrated and alarmed”
“One observer to this process
makes an example that the North Korean economy resembles a car climbing a steep
slope at a good speed”
“Only now does it find the
engine has been switched off and the car has begun to slide back again!”
“The farmers however still
receive their share of their produce and some factories are working to the new
system”
“This gives North Koreans
reasons for hope that sooner or later reforms once again will resume”
“If North Korea rejects
reforms totally it will slide back into a state of stagnation”
“This will create problems
for their neighbours, mainly China who will be bound to carry North Korea
should it collapse!”
“Kim Jong-un’s mind is very
fragile and what seemed like a good idea yesterday could all be dismissed as
foolish today”
“The North Korean people live
constantly on a knife-edge and are totally at the whim of their leader”
“Until a more stable
environment becomes established, the very highs and lows of their present
leader are to be expected”
“Not forgetting that he is
still a very young man!”

“New Orleans marks the 10th
anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which hit early in the morning on 29th
August 2005”
“Hurricane Katrina was one of
the most deadly storms in the US history”
“Nearly 2,000 people were
killed and one million displaced”
“The hurricane devastated New
Orleans, the largest city in the state of Louisiana”
“Although many neighbourhoods
bounced back after the hurricane, it is the Lower 9th which still shows signs
of neglect”
“Many homes still remain
abandoned and it is mostly the poor, black neighbourhoods that lack grocery
stores, drug stores and banks”
“Only a fraction of the
former residents have returned and there seems little will to rebuild what was
once a vibrant community”
“A black New Orleans’ Mayor,
Ray Nagin, was convicted of accepting bribes, fraud and money laundering”
“Ray Nagin’s crimes spanned
over both his terms in office”
“Nagin was mayor from
2002-2010 including the time when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city”
“A jury convicted the 57 year
old Democrat on twenty federal criminal counts”
“He was charged with
accepting thousands of dollars in payoffs to secure the city”
“These contracts were from
businessman to rebuild the city before and after Katrina”
“During the Katrina disaster
George W Bush’s aides tried over the first five days to convince President Bush
just how bad things were”
“Bush failed to do anything
about it”
“It was at that time when
Bush had basically checked out”
“It was revealed that Bush’s
real decision point with regards to Katrina was whether to pay attention to it
or not and he decided not!”
“Had he paid attention he
might actually have done something”
“There might have been some
difficult decision points to deal with, but he never got that far”
“Bush just decided not to pay
attention to Katrina and he went on vacation instead”
“The actions of Bush at that
time helped to blight his time in office”
“It will serve as a reminder
to all future Presidents. You cannot mess with your electorate in times of
crisis and get away with it”
“In spite of all this it was
the good will of many people in New Orleans, together with entrepreneurs, who
rushed to help rebuild this city”
“New Orleans is now
witnessing an inflow of artists and professionals”
“They are interested in
rebuilding this city after Hurricane Katrina destroyed a part of it”
“New Orleans is now ranked as
one of North America’s biggest “brain magnets”, a trend experts say will change
its future”
“We wish all the people of
New Orleans a steady and progressive future and hope in time their pain will
start to heal”

“The appalling and
disgraceful verdict by a Kangaroo judicial system in Egypt finds Al-Jazeera
journalists up to three years in prison”
“There is no evidence to find
Baher Mohamed, Mohamed Fahmy and Peter Greste guilty of any crime”
“The trumped up charges shows
a very frightened Egyptian judicial system, which made up charges against these
journalists”
“These charges refer to
terrorist involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood of which there is no evidence
to substantiate these claims”
“This is not a lawful
instruction by Egyptian court rulings”
“It is a political pressure
by manipulated design to force the courts to bend to their rules”
“The facts are that there is
no evidence proving that these journalists fabricated the news in any way”
“This nonexistence of evidence
or allegations cannot justify that these three journalists are continued to be
detained”
“A report issued by a
technical committee was assigned by the court in Egypt”
“It contradicted the
accusations made by the Public Prosecutor as utterly false”
“As there is no shred of
evidence which has been submitted to support these false charges, it makes a
mockery of Egyptian court rulings”
“Right now Egypt’s judiciary
are not independent and lawful, but are under the command of their political
system”
“It is the Egyptian
Government who wants to control the story that their press gives out”
“Egypt is against Qatar, who
they believe are in sympathy with Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood”
“So they attack Al-Jazeera’s
journalists to get their point across”
“If you only have the
Government’s angle on a story you have no story at all”
“This is what Egypt wants and
so it will allow their own fears to keep any rightful stories from getting out”
“This is an impossibility, as
the truth will always find a way of reaching the outside world, no matter how
hard Egypt tries to suppress it!”
“Egypt’s play on this will
have long-term ramifications around the world, as they will be further
ostracised for their disgraceful behaviour”
“The world will continue to condemn
these actions against innocent journalists”
“Like Peter Greste, Mohamed
Fahmy, and Baher Mohamed until they are released and no fear prevails”
“The world’s Governments will
continue to pressurize Egypt, as freedom of speech is widely sought after and
is needed in all societies”

“Badgers are not to blame for
most of the cases of tuberculosis in cattle, a university study has found out”
“Culling these animals will
have little impact on the spread of the disease in livestock”
“This is what researchers
from Cambridge and Warwick Universities have found”
“Over the past fifteen years,
researchers studying the spread of bovine TB, have found the most likely cause”
“It was by bringing infected
cows to the farm”
“It has been found that 10%
of farms were acting as “super-spreaders”, because they move their cattle
around frequently”
“It has been concluded that
the only way to halt this disease was to cull the entire herd and all the
diseased animals”
“This would be on a scale not
seen since the foot and mouth outbreak”
“It would mean twenty times
more animals being killed than are actually slaughtered each year”
“Then the best way to halt
the disease is through widespread testing and vaccination programmes and the
culling of infected herds”
“Professor Matthew Keeling
states “We have only three controls which
have the power to reverse the current increase in cases””
““More frequent or more accurate testing, vaccination of cattle and
culling all the cattle on infected farms””
“Researchers have used data
from the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratory Agency”
“They also studied Government
figures that showed the transition between farms and within a single farm”
“The results indicated 84% of
the outbreaks were caused by movement of infected cattle from infected fields”
“Also by the failure of tests
to detect the diseased cattle”
“Environmental factors,
including contact with badgers, did cause some infections”
“This however did not explain
the rapid spread of the disease”
“It has been found that it is
most likely that cattle movements and the local environment are driving the
front of this epidemic”
“Imperfect cattle skin tests
contribute to the spread by delaying the time until infected herds are
detected”
“There is also a delay in
incorrectly identifying herds being clear of the infection before they are
moved”
“It has been found that only
a small number of farms spread the infection and they cause the majority of new
cases”
“It is this small number of
farms that send their cattle to other farms without properly testing them
first”
“Eventually the farmers and
the Government will see sense and finally sort this matter out before
widespread damage is done”
“The culling of badgers, in
the light of farmers not taking full responsibility for their herds, is not the
answer”
“Let’s hope common sense
prevails…”

“Yemen is facing a major
humanitarian crisis”
“Four years of unrest has
left children in urgent need for food, water and medical supplies”
“The situation is worsening
by the fierce fighting and heavy air strikes”
“Currently there are 1.8
million children, who are at risk of becoming malnourished due to food
shortages across the country”
“Since March UNICEF and their
partners have worked hard to ensure that 1,250 tonnes of lifesaving supplies
have been delivered to Yemen”
“As the crisis deepens, so
their suffering also deepens”
“UNICEF is on the ground in
Yemen working around the clock to protect these children”
“Until a political system is
found and an end to military action, this country like Syria will be destroyed”
“Solutions can only come
about with all the various factions in the country coming to the table and
talking”
“No sections can afford to be
left out any longer if peace is to be established”
“When will common sense
prevail?”
“Military action will only
end up in a stalemate situation with no one willing to accept defeat”

Government is to prioritise power and stability over justice and human dignity
in Gaza”
“The British public do not

“This they do for the
Palestinians while they sidle up to Israel”
“The British Government by
their actions continue to perpetuate the long-lasting injustice in this area”

“They continue to do it

“The British Government has
blatant double standards”

“They are unable to

“This population’s physical
survival is threatened every day due to massive shortages of their basic

“It is high time that Moscow
now started to approach a different strategy for Syria”
“Moscow has reiterated that
it is not committed to keeping President Bashar al-Assad in power”
“So it has been stated by
Syria’s main opposition group after talks in Moscow”
“Syria’s National Coalition
President, Khaled Khoja, said the Russian leadership isn’t clinging to Bashar
al-Assad”
“It is focussing on the need
to preserve Syria’s territorial integrity”
“They are clinging to the
Syrian state, its territorial integrity and the preservation of its
institutions”
“Moscow will get more involved
in the Syrian transition and will push to help mediate in the conflict”
“Moscow is continuing to say
that they will support the legitimate elected President of Syria, whoever that
may be”
“So far Moscow has been a key
backer of Bashar al-Assad throughout this conflict”
“It has dragged on for over
four years, leaving 250,000 dead and four million refugees”
“Mr Khoja has reaffirmed that
Bashar al-Assad and his top lieutenants could never be a part of the
transitional Government”
“Khaled Khoja is continuing
his consultations with Moscow, which are proving more fruitful as time goes on”
“Vladimir Putin has launched
Russia’s new mediation effort, especially with Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman”
“There have been extensive
talks about Syria in Qatar”
“They took place between US
Secretary of State John Kerry, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov &
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir”
“All are willing to come to
the table for constructive and decisive talks and to bring about a structure
for the rebuilding of Syria”
“This flurry of serious
efforts, which are underway to reach a mediated end to the conflict, is so
necessary for the future of Syria”
“There are already pockets of
ceasefire between warring sides, which will allow for talks to continue”
“A broader spectrum of talks,
designed to save what is left of Syria so that it can be rebuilt, are in
progress”
“This leaves the other major
stumbling block of IS, which is also being discussed jointly”
“No longer can world powers
choose to sit idly by”
“All must come in united to
defend the common foe of IS from destroying everything”
“The green light is now on in
all these discussions and, as the will is there, a solution will be found and
set up”

tunnel is already there!”

efforts, which are underway to reach a mediated end to the conflict, is so
necessary for the future of Syria”
“There are already pockets of
ceasefire between warring sides, which will allow for talks to continue”
“A broader spectrum of talks,
designed to save what is left of Syria so that it can be rebuilt, are in
progress”
“This leaves the other major
stumbling block of IS, which is also being discussed jointly”
“No longer can world powers
choose to sit idly by”
“All must come in united to
defend the common foe of IS from destroying everything”
“The green light is now on in
all these discussions and, as the will is there, a solution will be found and
set up”
“The light at the end of the
tunnel is already there!”

“Congregational churches with
scores, hundreds or thousands of members…”
“…can never be a mechanism by
which we can have full communication with the living Jesus”
“Jesus’ role is to lead us
back to ‘God’ and the Kingdom of Heaven”
“The reason for this is
because the way is mystical and hidden from our earthly senses”
“Our journey, always on a one
to one with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, is not compatible in a crowd”
“Events during the service of
the church are made for the congregation to focus on”
“They are a distraction as to
what is important for the individual”
“Therefore the congregation
focuses without and not within, which is the all-important factor here”
“Jesus stated in the Bible
(Matthew 6:6), “But thou, when thou
prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou hast shut thy door…”
““…pray to thy Father, which is in secret; and thy Father, which seeth
in secret shall reward thee openly””
“This way of being in a quiet
at one place with Jesus & ‘God’ is more serviceable in fulfilling our
awakening desire to communicate with him”
“When a person is in a church
with masses of people, all the distractions are centred on the without”
“If that is right for the
individual, so be it!”
“When that individual is
ready to undergo an awakening experience, it will always be in secret”
“It will be with the ‘still,
small Voice of ‘God’ speaking to you from his within to yours”
“This communication will not
be dependent on a person’s regular or occasional attendance in a mass gathering
of souls for organised worship”
“The Damascus awakening event
will happen when the Holy Spirit will take the individual away into a secret
place”
“There that person is able to
open up his heart and mind to the mystical experiences and revelations awaiting
him”
“It is only done when the
individual is on his/her own and in that private place that they can shut the
door on all others”
“In that private place alone,
he can open the door to his inner being and the living Jesus will respond to
his invitation”
“He will enter into loving,
spiritual, joyous, uplifting and enlightening fellowship”
“It will then be realised
that Jesus is a one to one person”
“That
communication/experience can then be shared with those of like-minded readiness
for such a sharing”
“Those that have themselves
encountered such experiences and therefore understand their worth”
“Meanwhile those mass
gatherings in traditional church services will only ever experience without”
“They will miss out on the
important spiritual experience”
“Jesus will be there in the
midst of the congregation, loving and blessing them and administering to the
sick and fainting spirits of men”
“But their focus will be too
distracted by the choreography of the ritual”
“They will be unable to
communicate with Jesus’ living presence”
“Only those, who are ready
spiritually and are able to shut off from the distraction of the ritual, will
be able to receive”
“Otherwise they will miss out
on the blessings & enlightenment & the sharing of his mystical
awareness that Jesus’ living presence brings”
“‘God’ and Jesus speak to us
individually, because we are all individual and unique”
“None of us needs a priest to
deliver to us what Jesus says, as it will always be collectively and not
individually”
“This individuality is always
important and above all it is always relevant”
“That is why one to one
communication in the quiet private place becomes so necessary for our personal
lives”
“It brings us that personal
guidance to our own private lives”

“There was extraordinary
courage shown by three Americans and a British man”
“They overpowered a Moroccan
gunman on a train in France with 554 passengers on board”
“The heroes were two US
service men and their friend, a US college student”
“They were alerted when they heard
a shot being fired and heard breaking glass”
“Then Spencer Stone, an Air
Force member and Alek Skarlatos brought down the gunman”
“Spencer got to the gunman
first, followed by Alek and Anthony Sadler and then the British man, Chris
Norman, followed”
“They overpowered the gunman,
who was armed with an automatic AK-47 rifle, a handgun and a cutter knife”
“Spencer held the man in a
chokehold until he went unconscious and then checked the guns”
“The AK-47 was faulty and
fortunately the gunman did not know how to fix it”
“The handgun had no magazine
in it”
“The gunman did not know how
to load it properly, so he only got one shot off it”
“In the tussle to restrain
the gunman, Spencer was cut to the back of his neck and his thumb was nearly
cut off”
“In spite of his injuries,
once the gunman was finally under control, Spencer went to attend to the
injured passenger”
“He had taken the bullet and
was losing a lot of blood”
“During the scuffle the train
passengers, reacting on adrenaline, helped to restrain the gunman”
“Alek Skarlatos checked the
other carriages of the train to make sure there was not another gunman”
“British man, Chris Norman,
praised US Spencer Stone’s bravery in helping an injured passenger in spite of
being badly hurt himself”
“Mr Stone remains in hospital
at this time”
“The Moroccan man was known
to the Belgium authorities, who had been informed by Spain that he was a
security risk”
“It took the spontaneous
actions of three brave and courageous men to overpower a gunman who with his
weapons could have done untold damage”
Europe and the world are on
high alert from these damaged souls who go out to Syria”
They learn their craft to
create havoc on peaceful nations”
“All are cowards who are
willing to create carnage against the defenceless”
“But they are not brave
enough against those who are trained to fight back!”
“These people will never win
and will pay heavily for their crimes”
“There is no valour in doing
what they are doing and their lives will have no purpose as time and again they
will be stopped”
“Through standing together,
the will of the people will always overcome”
“Personal injury will never
deter them in doing what is right!”

“Labour leadership
frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn is to issue a public apology over the Iraq War if he
becomes leader next month”
“It would be on behalf of the
party and this is a move that Tony Blair has repeatedly resisted doing”
“Corbyn said he would
apologise to the British people for the “deception” in the run up to the 2003
invasion”
“He will also apologise to
the Iraqi people for their subsequent suffering”
“Such an apology would be
important symbolically, particularly in a party where Iraq remains a sore
point”
“Corbyn has made this vow,
which suggests in future UK’s military interventions would become rarer”
“Corbyn stated, “We will never again unnecessarily put our
troops under fire and our country’s standing in the world at risk””
“Corbyn continues to say, “Labour will never make the same mistakes
again and will never flout the United Nations and International Law””
“Jeremy Corbyn himself voted
against going to war with Iraq”
“Corbyn’s planned apology
attempts to pre-empt the findings of the long-delayed Chilcot Inquiry into the
Iraq War”
““The endless delay on the Chilcot Inquiry is wrong””
“We do not have to wait for Chilcot to know mistakes were made and
we need to make amends,” Corbyn said”
“When Yvette Cooper was asked
what the Labour Government did wrong, she replied, “Iraq””
“Yvette Cooper is one of the
front runners for the Labour leadership election”
“Tony Blair has refused to
apologise, so also have Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband not apologised”
“The former advisor to
President George W Bush, Karl Rove refused to apologise when pressed in April
by a US Veteran of Iraq”
“Corbyn states, “The Iraq War was wrong in principle,” he
said, “a mistake of horrendous
proportions, the price of which is still being paid””
““A lot of Labour voters marched in their millions to protest against the
war, we turned our backs on them and many withheld their votes””
““They felt disillusioned and unmotivated””
“Whatever anybody thinks of
Jeremy Corbyn and whether his remarks are politically motivated or not…”
“…he is doing what is right
in apologising to the British and the Iraqi people”
“This is for the mistakes of
the egotistical Prime Minister Tony Blair, who should have been shot down in
flames”
“He should have been removed
from office for his lies and deception. He needs be indicted for war crimes”
“Blair’s time will come”
“A person cannot continue to
go through life in this manner and still think he can get away with it”
