“The UN has again had its
agenda in New York, as it opened its 70th session of the UN General Assembly”
“As usual many world leaders
came to express their opinions and grievances, but what if anything has been
achieved?”
“There is no world leadership
and no accountability for misdemeanours committed by these leaders”
“It is literally the blind
leading the blind, where everybody states their case, but nothing gets
resolved”
“President Obama met with
Vladimir Putin, but did they actually listen to each other and decide on
strategies?”
“The answer is, “No!” Both have their own agendas”
“From their standpoint they
will deliver what they feel is necessary to appease their own mind and their
own set of circumstances”
“Syria, which is on the
agenda, will be divided up and all those whose interests are satisfied will
decide what parts benefits them”
“The people of the world, who
suffer poverty & removal of livelihood & assets, are of no count in the
political minefield that exists today”
“Even the meeting last week
of the US–China summit brought nothing to the table”
“Nothing was satisfied or
discussed, which would make a difference to global issues”
“Again both countries seek to
appease their own agendas and look only to their own to provide what they need
in order to obtain it!”
“The world is in crisis as a
result of bad management and incompetent leadership, which has caused untold
sufferings to millions of people”
“There must be leadership”
“There will come a time when
this issue is forced upon countries to obtain a legal stance”
“They must deal with policies
that they have constantly put on the backburner”
“To do something requires
effort and constructive planning ahead”
“Finally it needs the job to
be done effectively to elevate suffering by those clearly affected by
dictatorial Governments”
“The US, Russia and China
have all failed in their leadership to address world issues”
“Europe is now greatly
divided by the Syrian refugee crisis, which it cannot control”
“What to them seems an
impossible task, is because they are not equipped to deal with it”
“The people of Europe will
not stand for this huge influx of people”
“They feel threatened by the
hundreds of thousands embarking on a better life in the West”
“All the people will
ultimately suffer and resentment breeds anger”
“We cannot allow for another
drastic ethnic cleansing as happened in Nazi times”
“World leaders must take the
full responsibility for allowing the many conflicts to arise without any
strategical outcome put in place”
“The Secretary General for
Amnesty International, Salil Shetty has accused the powerful leaders of
hypocrisy”
“They lecture about peace
while at the same time they manufacture arms to distribute worldwide”
“He accuses them of speaking
out against corruption, while allowing their corporations to use financial and
tax loopholes”
“There is no effective
leadership and so none of these world leaders are fit for purpose!”
“The people of this world
expect better from their leaders”
“But it seems no one has the
guts or moral attitude to do anything other than talk!”
“The ultimate shame must be
placed on all their heads”
“They will all be judged in
their own way. Nobody gets away with anything!”

valuable part of saving the planet on which we all live and from which we all
benefit”

project was made at the United Nations General Assembly in New York by Prime
Minister John Key”

239,400 sq. miles”
“The Kermadec trench is one
of the deepest ocean trenches in the world”
“It is rich in sea life,
which includes whales, dolphins, endangered turtles and sea birds”
“This project will be an
extraordinary achievement for all New Zealanders and for the people of the
Pacific Islands”
“It is high time that
countries took greater care of their oceans, especially concerning discarded
debris”
“This kills ocean creatures
and many sea birds as well as destroying the sea bed”
“We all owe it to ourselves
to find ways to end pollution of our oceans & so protect all that is good in
this world, which includes our seas”
28th September 2015
“Peter Blenkiron was abused
repeatedly at the hands of his Catholic Christian Brother teacher”
“He stated to an inquiry how
he was pressed against the wall at the back of the classroom while his teacher
physically & sexually abused him”
“All this was done while his
classmates were told to look the other way”
“He also stated if the boys
got a belting, then you knew you had a good day and would not be sexually
abused as well”
“Peter Blenkiron, who is now
53, has so told Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse”
“Peter Blenkiron and other
surviving victims have told this Commission many harrowing stories of their
abuses”
“Many abused victims have
committed suicide”
“Others have taken substance
abuse to try to rid themselves of their own guilt, of which they have none”
“The guilt is only for the
perpetrators”
“Mr Blenkiron is trying to
shine a light on the many lives that these abuses have already claimed”
“His wish is to have the
Commission draw a line in the sand against this never ending pain that they all
suffered”
“He is also asking for the
best possible help that can be given to those still suffering today”
“The pain for victims never goes
away, as they all live a living hell with no respite”
“The Royal Commission was set
up in 2013 in response to huge public outrage”
“They were over allegations
that the Catholic Church had for years covered up these crimes by paedophile
priests”
“The Royal Commission find
themselves acting on a scale that is far reaching and not expected”
“They are doing it with
sensitivity to all those abused”
“The UK’s fledgling
Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has indicated it may follow”
“This is not a question for
mulling over”
“Every nation owes it to
these victims to finally have justice when they were so vulnerable they could
not get it for themselves”
“Pope Francis has met a group
of abused victims by the Catholic clergy in Philadelphia in USA”
“He said he was overwhelmed
with shame that men entrusted with the care of children violated these little
ones and caused grievous harm”
“To say sorry to these
victims of abuse is like saying, “xyz”
– it means nothing”
“If there was deep sincerity
for the thousands of abused victims in the Catholic Church…”
“…they would have done more
to eradicate this paedophile stench”
“As always they are
safeguarding the Church first and foremost. The victims are always secondary in
this matter”
“Again the shame is on the
Pope as head of this establishment!”
“Pope Francis cannot expect
to give out his holier than thou rhetoric and preach to the people what they
should and should not do…”
“…when he and the Church have
let their flock down time and again”
“Their hypocrisy goes beyond
the pale”
“That is why daily more and
more are leaving these Churches and finding God Within and not God Without!”
27th September 2015
“The purpose of Mankind is to
see what he can achieve in his own life time”
“That doesn’t mean sitting on
his seat and expecting others like the state to always provide and always to
satisfy his/hers needs”
“Mankind needs to start
thinking for himself and sort out the many problems, which he has created”
“He must stop the flow of
indifference and uncompromising thoughts and actions”
“He alone is master of his
own destiny and must seek the Higher Calling for its direction”
“Then a better and more
productive life can be established”
“There needs to be a purpose
and sustainability for himself and his family”
“We are all on this earth
equally to help one another with compassion and understanding”
“We must share the many gifts
that we all have, so that again all can progress and thrive collectively”
“The Church and State have
interfered too much in our lives dictating what we can and what we cannot do”
“We all know instinctively
what is right, as we were all created by the Love Force and the Higher
Intelligence”
“With this Intelligence, we
were all created and given the power of intellect”
“This is ingrained in all of
us, so that we already know what is right and wrong”
“It is the indoctrination of
both Church and State, which has messed up so many lives”
“Governments have taken
countries to war against the wishes of their citizens who voice that war is
wrong – yet they still have done it!”
“This has produced long term
misery, hardship and mayhem throughout their own people”
“The Church has equally
striven to control the populous”
“Not in the education of
Christ’s teachings of love and support for each other, but to control us for
their own will and pleasure”
“They state that God has
directed them in what we all need to do through them”
“The Church’s crimes of
interfering with their congregation, have appalled the people worldwide”
“Yet they still think they
are holy and have the word of God on their side”
“It’s the individual that
needs to seek out God’s help alone & together with his/her own conscience
go forward & have their productive life”
“A journey of self-discovery
and also in the helping of others less fortunate them themselves, they will
always find peace and happiness”

“When will the international
communities hold Israel to account?”
“Why is the world so
frightened and intimidated by Israel and its stranglehold on them that
obviously must be there?”
“No country that agrees to
the human rights laws can uphold the treatment given to Palestinians and
Palestinian prisoners by Israel”
“It makes a total mockery of
what these countries stand for and their hypocritical arguments”
“Hundreds of Palestinian
prisoners are threatening to join in a fast, if Israel does not stop
incarcerating people without charge”
“Palestinian prisoners in
Israeli jails have now threatened to launch a mass hunger strike next month…”
“…if prison authorities do
not release them and end the administrative detention”
“Currently there are 17
prisoners on hunger strike and at least six of them have refused food for 36
days”
“They are being held in
solitary confinement”
“These men are held as
administrative detainees”
“This practice is where
Israel detains them without charges, which are renewable at six monthly
intervals”
“More than 100 additional
prisoners have pledged to join these hunger strikes, if Israel does not meet
their conditions”
“There are worries for the
prisoners, who have already lost significant weight”
“For those who are too weak
to walk, no doctor has been allowed in to see them”
“There are currently more
than 5,500 Palestinians in Israeli prisons, including 350 administrative
detainees”
“Palestinian children equally
come under the heavy cosh of the Israeli military”
“A young 14 year old girl
called Malak was detained for allegedly throwing stones and carrying a knife”
“This girl was sentenced to
two months in prison and became the youngest female detainee”
“Malak was brought before the
court handcuffed and her legs shackled together”

confessed to everything”
“Before being sentenced Malak
spent three weeks in prison”
“She had been blindfolded and
taken in for interrogation without her family being there”
“The Palestine chapter for
Defence for Children International said some 600 children were brought before
the military judge in 2014”
“The average number of minors
held in Israeli military detention is 197 per month”
“The Israeli authorities’
policy of child detention contravenes all international conventions on the
rights of minors”
“Children still are arrested
without their parent’s knowledge”
“For 48 hours or longer they
are without seeing a lawyer until they stand before a military judge in the
court”
“Despite International Law
& international juvenile justice standards in the prohibition of compelling
a child to testify against themselves…”
“…or even confessing guilt
while under torture – nothing is done!”
“All this is common place in
Israeli military detention systems”
“In 2014 children were
coerced into signing confessions in Hebrew, despite the fact that they could
not even speak the language”
“UNICEF and the United Nations
programme focusing on these children are clearly failing them and the disgrace
must be felt equally”
“Countries around the world
that condone this kind of treatment should all be ashamed of themselves for
allowing it!”
“It clearly makes International
Law a complete farce with no teeth and no guilt to take any drastic
humanitarian measures”
“If sanctions can be so
liberally enforced around the world for other misdemeanours…”
“…then Israel can also be
sanctioned for their criminal acts!”
25th September 2015
“The outrageous lack of
organisation for this year’s Hajj lies squarely on the organisers”
“They simply have not learnt
from the past about crowd control”
“Neither have they learnt
about the safety of their buildings nor their extension works”
“It is an absolute disgrace
and they should be all made accountable for their actions”
“Events around the world
incorporating hundreds of thousands of people are well thought through to avoid
these kinds of incidents”
“If the Saudi authorities
cannot deal with the size of these pilgrim groups then…”
“…they need to organise
smaller more manageable groups into these holy spaces”
“Stampedes will always occur
when people feel trapped or blocked in”
“That is why there needs to
be an orderly stream of people being directed at every corner, so that these
tragedies do not occur”
“The blame has to be laid
fairly on the steps of the Saudi authorities, who have not learnt from their
own past mistakes”
“In 2006, 360 pilgrims were
killed in a stampede”
“The day before the 2006
Hajj, an eight storey building being used as a hostel near the Grand Mosque in
Mecca collapsed killing 73 people”
“In 2004, in Mina, a crush of
people occurred killing 244 and injuring hundreds”
“In 1990, another tragedy
killing 1,426 pilgrims in a stampede in an overcrowded pedestrian tunnel to
these holy sites in Mecca”
“It is an absolute outrage
and the Saudi authorities are fully responsible – nobody else is!”
“If the Saudi authorities
cannot handle these kinds of crowds for pilgrimages then they are in no
position to hold them”
“They should only use smaller
numbers that they are able to handle”
“It really is irrelevant to
put the blame on the pilgrims”
“It has to lie squarely at
the root of the problem, the lack of organisation by the authorities who
organised this event”
“Those lost lives should be
on the conscious of all the Saudi authorities!”
24th September 2015
“The simplest things appear
so complicated to the agile mind, which looks into every nook & crevice to
find disruptions around every corner”
“The mistrust throughout the
world is now at breaking point, where souls are asked to give up their lives
for lost causes”
“Many think it is ‘The Hand
of God’ dictating how they should maim and kill one another”

fuelled by misguided people, whose agenda is but to destroy every living
creature in this world”
“They do not agree with their
own philosophy”
“Until Mankind starts to turn
the other way from darkness and into the light of understanding, nothing will
ever be achieved!”
“This mortal life is
sacred. It has been given to us as a
gift from God”
“Not to abuse it or to use it
as a vehicle of violence, but as a sacred instrument to bring in love and
understanding”
“It is to turn the tide of
hopelessness and to bring in right thinking and right action”
“All of us will be judged
when our time comes & we must all see that our roles upon this earth are to
transfer wellbeing to all whom we see”
“We need to express love and
to return balance to those souls who are suffering due to being abandoned”
“Especially for those who are
misused by circumstances beyond their control”
“We all live in this world
together and so a collective support system must come in”
“Here an immediate reform
must bring back balance to this world and be recognised by all”
“Our animals need us as much
as we need them. Our oceans once filled
with fish are now depleted and need conserving”

think about what he is doing. This destruction to man, animals and this planet
has to stop”
“Eventually this planet will
die, because we have collectively destroyed it and then man will already be
lost”
“We are all in danger, more
of starvation than of wars”

poisoning this planet with weapons, which destroy man and the natural
surroundings”

safe”

filters down to the very bedrock of our existence and this poison is already
affecting land masses and the seas”

sustain Mankind’s needs”

needs to turn today and collectively Governments must come in and work together
to save Mankind”

corporations will be no more, as fewer and fewer resources are there to sustain
their greed”

hard way, which they will!”

sense has prevailed after the fiasco of the jailing of Al-Jazeera journalists
for crimes they did not commit”
“Mohamed Fahmy, Baher Mohamed
and Peter Greste need to be totally vindicated of the trumped up charges”
“They were brought on by a
failed judiciary, releasing them is not enough!”
“If President Sisi is trying
to show the world that he is restoring confidence in his corrupt legal system…”
“…he has to demonstrate more
about the right law and not what suits him”
“Egypt’s Government fears it
will be overthrown and so has clamped down on any free argument or criticism of
its state”
“The truth about how it operates
and the violence that goes with it will always come out”
“The truth will always find a
way of coming to the surface and will grow as it gathers momentum until it is
recognised by the world over”
“Egypt’s regime has no leg to
stand on. Their total mess is exposed right up to the very seat of their own
power”
“Egyptians are sick and tired
of it”
“They want to be able to hold
their heads up high and be proud of their country…”
“…instead of hanging their
heads in shame and disgrace of how their country has become”
“It is time that the military
started to back down & bring in proper elections to suit all the needs of
the people & not the military alone”
“Egypt will continue to be
seen as a failed state, which only survives because the US pays the military
and pays for food to the people”

Government for the people is established with the right rule of law, the people
will continue to sink”

once great nation will be left”

enough. It is the flourishing of its people that makes Egypt what it should be,
as it was in the Pharaonic times”
“Proper Law and order for its
people must start now and continue for peace to return”

in fear and anger, which has a continued destabilising effect!”

Mohamed and Peter Greste well and we hope they will be able to continue their
lives in peace finally!”
22nd September 2015
“The Egyptian fear of
jihadist militants coming over from Gaza has made Egypt panic!”
“The amount of militant
jihadist arriving or causing problems to Egypt is small”
“This is in comparison to the
extensive destruction Egypt is doing to create their buffer zone”
“This in itself is like a red
rag to any jihadists worth their salt to insult Egypt by invading and causing
damage”
“Egypt needs to look at its
policies as being the main fundamental provocation to all those who disagree
with the Government’s policies”
“President Abdel Fattah
el-Sisi will soon find he is not only criticised by world public opinion, but
also by bordering countries”
“They do not accept his
methods of brutal attacks”
“Egypt’s demolition of the
smuggling tunnels will not sort out their problems”

any construction for subsidence under this kind of pressure”
“Loss of life for Egypt’s
military will be as a result of their own hand until they realise it will no
longer be a viable proposition”

short-sightedness and the inexperience of leadership that constantly brings
them down in the eyes of the world”

occurrence, as they see that their control of situations is always eroding and
being taken away from them”

the military and starts to bring in a more reliable honest law abiding leader…”
“…then Egypt will continue to
be an embarrassment to themselves and the US who funds them!”

process, then a dialogue to bring about the right solutions can be forth
coming”

self-interests”

overall global problems, where self-interests need to go beyond the boundaries
that we all have”

together to bring about collective solutions to global problems, many of which
have been ignored for years”

those who have no voice to be heard, you’ll always breed frustration, anger
& hatred until vengeance is released”

the innocent of this world”

started to put their policies right, not only for their own people but for the
entire world”
“The same old disenfranchised
people will continue to suffer and be persecuted”
“Globally many groups are
being formed, where extreme hatred is at the centre of their policies”
“They fear that nobody is
listening to them and their grievances – they are correct”

taking responsibilities for their gross neglect of their own people together
with those throughout the land…”

the consequences are very damaging indeed”
“We can no longer turn a
blind eye to so many wrongs being committed”

overthrow Governments, just because they don’t like that person in power”

globe and what affects one part of it has serious consequences to the other
parts”
