The power of the Lord is
phenomenal and can be seen all around us if we ever care to look
All over the world daily
miracles do happen and it is usually when we least expect them
A mountain climber fell
recently in Wales – a drop of some 250 feet
Ordinarily the fall would
have killed him, but he landed reasonably softly and only sustained a broken
ankle. His life was spared
There are people who survive
horrific car crashes, getting away with just minor bruises and sprains
The ambulance men are amazed
at the minor damage to these people who survived
In the middle of the Sahara Desert,
a car rally race was taking place and one of the cars ran out of fuel and got
separated from the race
The driver, found himself in
the middle of nowhere, stranded with nothing in the tank
From nowhere a jeep appeared,
who was not part of the race, gave assistance and the car driver was able to
head in the right direction
Another soul was saved
Many people, who have been
out to sea and where their boat has capsized, have been saved from drowning
They described it as loving
arms bringing them to the surface and where they had no fear
Often people are rushing to
get to their plane only to find they are constantly being held up
The result is that they miss
their plane journey by only a few minutes, only to learn afterwards that plane
crashed with all lives lost
That person was saved
When it is not our time to
depart this world, there are always helping hands along the way that
consistently save us
We are all protected every
step of the way
Most think it is because they
were lucky on the day. I believe differently, that luck has nothing to do with
it
All is by Divine Intervention
and when you speak to the people, who have been saved, they all say the same thing
They were tremendously calm
throughout their ordeals, as if they were being looked after and they knew they
would be saved
Look out for your miracle and
the power of the Lord!
Spirituality is often
misquoted by the meaning of being kind and civil to all
It goes much further than
that. It goes to the very heart of the matter, which is love
To give out love one must
remove pain
Where love enters in, then
compassion and an understanding of individuals needs are always addressed
Then to be able to think one
step ahead all the time and to anticipate another’s needs over those of our own
When those needs are
addressed in a loving way, the entire aspect of that individual receiving this
gift…
…will bring about fundamental
changes in that person of wellbeing and security
When that happens, it
automatically has a knock on effect
That person equally starts to
bring kindness, consideration and love towards another
Many in this world have no
concept as to what love actually is
They see it as sex in a relationship,
when in fact the sexual act…
…which is beautiful, is
something that the body needs to promote its own wellbeing
The mind is the more powerful
aspect and requires a greater need for love and support over any physical act
Those that are crippled or
incapacitated in anyway, who cannot perform the sexual act…
…still require that love and
consideration to allow them to live as a person and not to be discarded as
nothing
Spirituality is the forming
of the loving bond, which transcends all races and creeds to a higher level…
…where all come together in
the higher spiritual love, which is more powerful and more sustaining than can
ever really be expressed
For those who have
experienced the out of body experience, which comes when one is dying…
…they all recount the same
thing – the overwhelming state of love
They feel consumed by the
Spiritual love, where fear is totally removed and the power that one is so
looked after is felt
They know that every facet of
their lives and needs, will be met
They are transformed into a
place of joy and understanding that only a powerful spiritual love can give
Here, those who have done
wrong are not judged harshly, but given total compassion and understanding
It is here where forgiveness
is at the very heart of it all
We, as earthly human beings,
need to learn from these teachings and to understand that none of us are
perfect
What we do, can represent a
higher intelligence and where we can secure another’s path by our love and
compassion at all times
We owe it to ourselves and to
the world around us, because by being spiritual we can achieve so much more!
We, as a species, have a lot
to answer for
We determine where we live
and how we want to act with no thought or consideration to what is around us…
…or how it will affect the
terrain and habitat of our fellow creatures
As long as we are alright,
nothing really matters and for those species that do not have a voice, they are
of no count
It is Man who is the victor
over everything and everybody
It really is high time we all
took a hard look at ourselves and considered ourselves as custodians to this
world
Instead of which we are the
constant violators of our habitat
We need to be able to leave
our children something of this world when we finally depart…
…instead of the polluted and
damaged terrain that is all around us, something has to be done
Conservation is not enough at
this time, as we threaten the very livelihood we are dealing with on a daily
and hourly basis
Our insatiable appetite for power
and electricity is causing the ruination of the countryside and resources will
eventually run out
Their formation has taken
billions of years and it will take only a few thousand years before there is
nothing left
We continue to burn
electricity, as if it is our right to do so, with unnecessary lighting, which
can be seen for miles around
Las Vegas is one city where
the entire city is lit up like a Christmas tree with no thought to anybody but
themselves…
…instead of conserving it and
giving to those whose needs are greatest – this is never considered
It is only when the lights
are turned out for good will they wonder if perhaps something should have been
done
The electricity from the dam
cannot be relied on indefinitely and it is this blasé attitude that is the most
worrying of all
It really is live for today
for tomorrow never comes
Pollution by carbon emissions
& where industry has poison the land where it can never be cultivated
again, is far from the common man’s care
Yet farmers and fishermen are
having to deal with these issues all over the world
We in the west especially
have no thought or consideration of what Mankind has to go through…
…to earn a basic living and
the hardships that it entails
We only ever think selfishly
about our own lives
It is only when disaster
strikes and when we are actually inconvenienced that we start to consider what
we take so much for granted
The manufacturing industry
and their waste products, the many cars, machines and hardware, litter our land
and are a blot on our landscape
All that is important is
money and the continuous need to have more than we actually require
Our seas and rivers are also
polluted by Man’s waste and where fish and natural habitats are dying off in
alarming ways
Nuclear waste, as well as
industrial and Man’s waste, continues to destroy and leak out
This will eventually cause a
backlash and we will have fallout from these poisons
China, at this time, pollutes
the air at an alarming rate causing cancer borne diseases to affect lungs and
other parts of the body
Younger & younger people
are dying from what their industries pump out daily with no thought of Mankind
or marine or air borne life at all
To them it does not matter,
but it will
The disaster of Chernobyl in
the Ukraine, the nuclear disaster in 1986, where radioactive contamination was
released in seconds
It was 400 times more potent
than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima
A quarter of a century later,
the region is still suffering from the deadly effects
The agricultural land was
profoundly contaminated and hundreds of people were forced to abandon their
homes
Thousands were affected by
leukaemia and thyroid cancer
The radioactive cloud was
detected all over Europe and fell on the ground in Ireland as light nuclear
rain
Although this was two decades
ago, the ramifications are still being felt in the British Isles today
As Man’s reckless behaviour
continues to go unchecked, so the increasing fallout will occur and by then it
will be too late
Man is always sleepwalking
until the eleventh hour and then, and only then, will he do something, but by
then it may be too late!
Four police officers have
been arrested over Thursday’s deadly shooting of a protestor in South Africa
A 28 years old man was shot
by the police at a protest over housing outside Johannesburg
A police spokesperson said
the police officers were between 33-49 years old and will be appearing in court
soon
On receiving the initial
report on the incident…
…it was found that there was
enough evidence to arrest and charge the man who fired the shots – for murder
Their violent manner defeats
the ends of justice
There is no justice in South
Africa and the South African police are frequently accused of brutality
They are also using improper
crowd management techniques. These include live ammunition
President Zuma must be proud
of his police force who regularly brutalise harmless South Africans
What kind of a message does
he send out to the world?
Nelson Mandela protested and gave
his life against the brutal behaviour by the whites on the blacks
This now is the brutal
behaviour of blacks on blacks. Has not President Zuma learnt anything in all
this time?
What was Nelson Mandela’s
sacrifice for?
Perhaps it is time that President
Zuma woke up and thought about his people, who he was been elected to serve
He really must start to
organise a civilised police force instead of a gang of thugs
All this is a reflection on
his presidency and nothing else, as there is no obvious care for his people at
all!
His position will no longer
be tenable and the people will vote him out finally when the time arises
He is an absolute disgrace to
this country
At last a small glimmer of
hope is emerging
Hong Kong will destroy 28
tonnes of ivory confiscated from smugglers to discourage the illegal ivory
trade
The ivory stockpile is one of
the largest in the world and will be incinerated, a process that could take up
to 2 years
Conservation groups have
urged the Government to destroy the seized ivory
Hong Kong is a key transit
point for the illegal ivory entering mainland China
28 out of the 30 tonnes
stockpile will be destroyed leaving the remainder to be used for educational
purposes in schools and institutions
The demand for ivory in China,
who is the illegal traders’ largest market, continues to fuel poaching in
Africa
Mainland China has already
crushed 6 tonnes of confiscated ivory in a public event to try to educate their
public
They use the ivory for
traditional carvings and jewellery
The US and Philippines have
also taken similar steps in recent months
The general public have no
idea or interest in the study of the elephant and its life
The intelligence of the
animal itself gives us a rare opportunity to see how behaviour of this species
can be far superior to our own
Yet we slaughter them as if
they are nothing and don’t ever consider they have a mind
This slaughter is
communicated through the herds making Mankind their greatest enemy
It takes a very long time to
rebuild this trust
Elephants and Man
communicating takes a long time to rebuild against such extensive damage
Never underestimate the
intelligence of any elephant
In the eyes of many, the
human lust for a trinket is all this animal is worth
The beauty of the animal
itself is never recognised
The entire world is turned
upside down with so many conflicts and despair
There is always salvation at
the end of what seems an eternity of unhappiness and unfairness to the masses
Nothing stays the same
forever and that is how it should be
Progression, no matter how
small, continues to grow and manifest and from small achievements miraculous
designs do occur
In our everyday lives we are
all striving for a better world, even though we appear not to be doing anything
All it takes is a smile and a
thank you to those who serve you and to acknowledge those around with courtesy
and respect
These all add up to making
our world a better place and where just a simple smile can brighten up a sad
person’s face
It shows them that there is
somebody out there who actually cares
There are many good people in
this world, who are doing incredible things to help others
Often they are risking their
lives to do it without a care for themselves, but always thinking of others in
their daily lives
They are the unsung heroes of
this world and are hardly mentioned by the media
They for some reason are not
news worthy, because the media are only ever really interested in tragedy as
opposed to happiness
If the inference was on
showing the good deeds done by the extraordinary people around this world, it
would reflect a good example
It also instructs and
educates the populace that this behaviour is what life is all about
The media have a lot to
answer for and it is high time that the world was educated to do good deeds
That is what this life is all
about and it should be sanctified
More people must be educated
that this is the right way to behave & to do the contrary is not acceptable
& that recourse will always occur
Then a new life of happiness
and respect can come into this world and no longer will the miscreants be
glorified
The preliminary conference in
Montreux with the Syrian Government and the Syrian opposition will not go well
at all
It will almost be like a
bloodbath with no one obtaining any upper hand in this conflict of minds and
power
Bashar al-Assad will be in
full voice stating his objectives
He will be spelling out what
he wants to do when he regains power, which is his soul purpose for being there
He cannot abide the
opposition’s stance on his claim to the throne and keeping it for himself
How dare the opposition feel
they have any right to his power and control?
That is how he sees his
position and he will remain firm on that aspect
It is now up to the outsiders
to put pressure on all. It is the Syrian
people themselves, who want peace and a new way of life
They have had enough of the
old regime and they want transparency and early elections
Then their country can be
rebuilt with foreign aid
All this will be impossible
while a dictatorial force remains entrenched in his position of power
As the opposition appears to
weaken, Russia will start to take the lead
There will be a major
impasse, where all that was forced on will start to unravel itself and find an
alternative route by which to go
The element of surprise is
always there
It is now that new obstacles
to Assad’s power will expose him further and where he will make his own
situation untenable
This way he will cut his own
throat
Eventually the Russian
contingent will have to submit to another game plan, which is not to their
liking
It really gives them no
choice, as they do not wish to be associated with a vengeful person in the
light of international eyes
Russia wants to make out it
has moral principles with the Assad regime
He has already destroyed
these possibilities and so Russia will be forced to retract
The Syria opposition then
will be able to obtain the upper hand and bring about a new settlement
This will have possibilities,
which before was not possible
The biggest union in South
Africa’s platinum sectors have called for a strike over pay
It is potentially halting the
production of the world’s top three producers
Matters over pay, what the
unions describe as a living wage, have not been resolved since the Lonmin’s
Marikana platinum strike in 2010
This saw 44 people killed by
the South African Police Force. The Government still has to sort out
compensation for these killings
Something President Zuma is
slow to deal with while being too busy re-enforcing his house
The platinum mine owners and
the unions have been trying to negotiate a settlement since last year
The owners blame high
production costs and stagnating demand
All this becomes irrelevant
over the decades that these workers have been exploited
The producers have been
creaming off the profits, while the labour force continues to remain as almost
slave labour
Nothing is ever gained over
another’s misery and so it will be for these producers
In the end they will do
everything in their power to remain in business, no matter what they say or do
In being honourable they will
gain, by being greedy they will always lose
Out of the blue salvation is
found in Catherine Samba-Panza
She has been elected as
Bangui’s interim president in the Central African Republic
She is the first woman to
hold such a post. In her victory speech she urged Christian militias and Muslim
fighters to end the bloodshed
All should put down their
arms and stop the fighting
Cheers broke out in the
National Transitional Council, which serves as an interim Parliament
She is a Christian and a
successful business woman and she has been seen as being politically neutral
She is accepted by both sides
and will do her utmost to turn hostilities into a new phase of trust and
diplomacy
That is something she is
extremely good at, but she will have her work cut out here
With the Spiritual guidance
and all round co-operation, the starting line is already in sight
Spiritual Law continues to
catch up with culprits, who feel they are above the law of man and God!
A senior Italian cleric has
been charged with money laundering of millions from the Vatican Bank
Monsignor Scarano is already
on trial and under house arrest on separate charges of plotting to smuggle $26m
into Italy
He was a former Vatican
accountant and with two other people, they were all served arrest warrants
Police have already seized
€6.5m in bank accounts and real estate including Scarano’s luxury apartment in
Italy
He used false donations from
offshore accounts
He obtained donations for a
false home for the terminally ill and used the money to pay off mortgages on
his own properties
He is accused of smuggling
millions from Switzerland into Italy with the help of a secret service agent
and a financial broker
Every Catholic must start to
question their own involvement with this corrupt and sick Church
There dishonesty goes to the
very heart of this establishment
How many ‘Hail Mary’s’ will
he be saying as his penance in his confessional if anyone would even take it?
How can anyone actually
believe anything that comes out of this rotten pile?
They are a disgrace to the
very people they purport to serve, never mind the so called higher calling
Catholics the world over
should look into their hearts and seriously think how can they be continually
hoodwinked by this establishment?
It is a question of do as I
say and not do as I do every time
The number of
people/organisations in the world, who are behaving badly, has put many
people’s lives in severe distress and hardship
Lord Rennard, who has
sexually harassed a number of ladies in the Liberal Party will not apologise
He should be ousted out of
the Party altogether
His allies see him as a
strategist that has raised up the Liberal Party to where it is today
His actions of rebuttal
towards the ladies and the rest of the Liberal Party will see him bring down
the party he helped to build up
Ban Ki-moon has now invited
Iran into the peace keeping talks in Switzerland
The Syrian Peace Conference,
that has been more than a year in the making, is now in complete disarray
before it’s even got started
The main opposition sees no
point in coming to the negotiations if Iran is present
The Syrian people continue to
suffer while Ban Ki-moon does his brainstorm bit
Mohammed Morsi insulted the
legal Egyptian judiciary and wanted to do it his way and force them out of
office
This way he could then
enforce his own ruling
He now finds himself on the
other side of the judiciary, a place that is now very uncomfortable for him
The Taliban, with their
enforced righteous dogma of Sharia Law, cause much distress and hardship to
their own people in Afghanistan
The people themselves live
under the fear of them regaining power again
There are happenings in the
Ukraine and in Thailand and Africa generally
Again there is more from the
Mafia and the Catholic Church with their abuses on children
Now even Silvio Berlusconi,
another power hungry man, has returned to the centre of politics after being
thrown out of Parliament on tax fraud
All these factors wish to
remain in power and to sweep away any form of opposition or disgrace they have
done as being irrelevant
What they can see is only
their right to rule no matter how offensive they are to the common man
All people must suffer to
their right as law and nobody else’s right is relevant
It is these power hungry
people, who continually behave badly, that have caused so much mayhem in the
world today
They are oblivious of the
damage they cause, such is their continued arrogance and indifference to what
is morally right in this world
A Higher Intelligence will
start to move
A new format will be decided
and that their terms in office are restricted and a downfall to them all will
occur
This is already happening in
some parts of the world, but there is still a way to go
The people of this world have
not been forsaken and a new Intelligence is now picking up the reins
It will bring back law and
order to Mankind where there is none
The Syrian main political
opposition group are to attend next week’s peace talks in Switzerland
The National Coalition have
shown remarkable courage and the mood was echoed by UK and France
The talks aim to start the
process of setting up a transitional Government to end the war in Syria
Aid has finally reached a
besieged camp of Yarmouk in the Syrian capital of Damascus for the first time
in nine months
Some 18,000 refugees in the
camp have not seen aid
UN relief workers had warned
earlier that the humanitarian situation in Yarmouk had worsen dramatically
People are reduced to eating
animal feed and grass. Women are dying in childbirth because of the lack of
medical care
The gates of Yarmouk were
slammed shut by the fighting since July and almost no aid has been allowed in
Forty residents in the camp
have died of starvation and the lack of medical care
It is imperative that the
peace talks are productive for the innocent people of Syrian whose only request
is to get on with their lives
Syria is a broken dishevelled
land and to rebuild will already take decades
Until that day happens there
is no time to lose & active work to bring in a new transitional Government
is of paramount importance for all
There must be a stabilising
influence and the lessons from Iraq must be learnt
A Japanese soldier, a Mr
Onoda who refused to surrender after World War II ended, had spent 29 years in
the jungle
He has now died aged 91 years
old in Tokyo
Mr Onoda remained in the
jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon in the Philippines until 1974, because he
did not know that the war had ended
He was finally persuaded to
emerge after his ageing former commander was flown out to see him
On his return to Japan he was
treated as a hero
Mr Onoda was prepared for
death. He was also told not to surrender, a command he obeyed for nearly three
decades
Finally, in March 1974, his
former commander recused him
The Japanese soldier saluted
the Japanese flag and handed over his Samurai sword while still wearing his
tattered army uniform
The Philippine Government
granted him a pardon, although many on Lubang never forgave him for the thirty
people he killed
After his surrender he ran a
ranch in Brazil and later opened up a series of survival training schools in
Japan
Whether one likes the
Japanese or not, their dedication and service to the cause is staggering by
many standards
All Japanese soldiers were
willing to die for their emperor, for to surrender they believed brought shame
on their families
They had a job to do and they
never steered away from that objective…
…even though many thought
they were heartless in their approach to prisoners of war
What is amazing with this man
is his relentless quest to keep going and never to give up no matter what
hardship was thrown at him
He sacrificed his life for
the cause. Some may say idiotically, others may be in awe of his survival
Whatever your perspective he
continued with his responsibilities with the utmost discipline
That is why he survived all
that time – a unique individual
The level of greenhouse gases
is rising rapidly and far greater global efforts are needed to tackle this
issue
A leaked UN report warned
that expensive technology would be needed if current situations continue
Co² gases grew by 2.2% per
year in 2000-2010, almost twice as high as 1970-2000
The leaked report urges world
communities to act without delay to cut emissions and shift to clean energy
If co² gases continue at the
current rate, increased conservation and efficiency would not be sufficient to
cover the impact
The report criticises
Governments of spending far more on subsidising fossil fuels than switching to
cleaner energy
The global average
temperature has increased by 2ºC. This is the point, when dangerous changes to
the planet will occur
We are already seeing global
devastation on a massive scale, yet Governments refuse to do anything about it
As more damage and
destruction occurs, the wakeup call will be too late
Millions are needed in funds
to meet the demands by the devastations around the world are already being felt
in the pockets of Governments
Yet their blind attitude
still doesn’t want to see the truth
We all will suffer for Man’s
incorrigible blindness. It is only when matters are too late that Mankind
decides to do anything about it
Meanwhile loss of life and
industry are felt by all
The ongoing conflict in South
Sudan has seen villages being wiped out and they simply do not exist anymore
Villages were looted and
burnt to the ground. The people of Sudan suffer in the raging conflict of a
power struggle
The humanitarian aid is
scarcely enough to find any citizens to go to the camps for displaced persons
These were set up by the
humanitarian relief agencies
Until warring factions are
made responsible for their people, nothing will ever change
There has to be
accountability by those who seek power and destroy their own people in the
process
Nothing can be gained by
using people as superfluous objects, just so that crazy men can obtain power
What power once gained will
they have?
A damaged population is just
that, damaged with no infrastructure or basic amenities – how can any people
survive?
The victory at such a high
cost is no victory at all. It is absolutely nothing, as so much has already
been destroyed
These power crazy people
cannot continue to think that the International community will constantly bail
them out?
What have they done to
deserve any of it?
All costs should be born out
of their own pockets
Compensation must go to the
people, who have lost of lives and livelihood by those who end up in power
The trial of four men accused
of murdering former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri is set to begin in an
unprecedented tribunal at The Hague
The four men are members of
the Syrian backed militant Shia movement Hezbollah
Although the men have not
been arrested they are being tried in
absentia
Hariri was killed by a
massive car bomb in Beirut in 2005
This UN backed trial is a
unique occasion as it is the first time that a terrorism charge has come before
an international court
This paves the way for other
terrorist organisations to become implemented in war crimes
Indiscriminate killing is now
being made accountable
More laws are being implemented
to bring justice to those who have committed war crimes
Nothing is for nothing and
the Universal Laws bring about justice where justice was lacking in the first
place
A new revolution of reforms
will see more people convicted of war crimes than at any other time in the
history of this world
Thirty-four US Air Force
officers in charge of launching nuclear missiles have been suspended over
cheating in their proficiency tests
The cheating emerged during
investigations of drug abuse by personnel at the other bases
All staff must take a monthly
test and cheating was found to be going on. The Air Force Secretary said this was
unacceptable behaviour
The thirty-four officers have
had their security clearances revoked
The entire team in charge of
overseeing the missile launches will be retested
A further three officers have
been suspended for possessing drugs
In previous months other
officers have been relieved of duty where they have failed safety and security
inspections on these nuclear bases
What is going on in America?
Are there too many chiefs not
knowing what is going on with their own staff?
Regarding these nuclear
facilities, the highest performance with the highest responsibility should be
enforced
This lackadaisical situation
could cause dire consequences for the rest of the world
Too much free rein gives rise
to slapdash organisations
Where the work is respected
and cherished by those who work under this field of expertise, then a more
responsible approach is always there
Really America cannot afford
anymore scandals – they purport to be an example to us all!
Pope Francis’s issues on his
condemnation of abortion were lamentable
A man can never understand,
never mind a priest, the psychological pain that any woman goes through when
she finds she is pregnant…
…where it is not wanted for
any number of reasons
To force a woman to have a
child that she does not want brings not only a lifetime of suffering to the
woman, but to the child as well
The child, who later finds
out it was never wanted in the first place, finds itself devoid of the mother’s
love and nurturing
This suffering has a lifetime
effect and no amount of consoling by the Catholic Church can alter this fact
Women for years have been
aborting unwanted pregnancies, as the child would put an impossible strain and
hardship on the existing family
Again something no Church
member can ever understand, as they remain closeted in their own cosy
environment
In the past, Catholics were
encouraged to produce children to increase the Catholic population with
families having as many as ten children
This put a massive strain on
the entire family and hardship to the children themselves
They were devoid of a
mother’s love and attention…
…because it is impossible to
give 100% love and attention to them all, such is the demand of children
Children from large families
bear the psychological scars today, again something the Church seems to want to
ignore
It is not a question of a
throw away culture, which Pope Francis intimates
It is a question of wisdom by
doing what is ultimately right for the family as a whole…
…where they can all survive
in peace and love and not be overstretched with stress, mayhem and anxiety
Wake up Pope Francis! The Church must move with the times. The Dark Ages have already gone!
At the end of the day, each
woman will deal with her own conscience first and act responsibly for the good
and welfare of her family
Something the Church should
applaud and not induce women to feel guilty and betrayed by the Catholic Church
God is after all about love,
compassion and understanding, perhaps the Church should find it in their hearts
to be the same!
To change a person’s mind-set
from what has been indoctrinated over many years takes an enormous step of
courage into the unknown
Fear and the safety of what
has already been indoctrinated is always the preferred option
All races like to remain in
their comfort zone and are not prepared to think for themselves
Many people are extremely
gullible and easily influenced to being brainwashed
Until Mankind can start to
think for himself and research into what is right and not just be swept up with
the rhetoric constantly given…
…nothing much will change for
him
We are all too easily swept
up with what politicians & the media expel to serve their own end & not
what is right for the people they serve
Churches and religions
institutions are the same. They spout out chapter and verse
These were written by Man and
over the ages rewritten again to serve their own purposes
Many ideas and truths, lost
in translation, were amended to serve the governing body at that time
All these are but businesses,
which have a common interest and that is to serve their own purpose and not
what is best for Mankind
Until the people of the world
start to stand up and take some personal responsibility…
…then the world will continue
in this state of chaos for many more decades to come
Education of the self must be
the main priority of all human beings
Until that happens they will be
swayed into situations which are not right by those who purport to lead them
The Iraq War in 2003 was
masterminded by President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair
Tony Blair misled Parliament
by saying that there were weapons of mass destruction held by Saddam Hussein
He said they were to reach
England in 18 minutes, spreading fear and panic throughout the land
Weapons inspectors found
nothing and so Parliament and the people were misled and lied to and many
people lost their lives needlessly
Until these people are
brought to justice, then they continue with impunity to do and say as they like
There is no defence mechanism
to bring them to account
When Mankind gets to the
point of sheer frustration, where Governments are either inactive or slow to operate…
…then drastic matters need to
be taken up
People’s patience has now run
out & vigilante groups have been set up in Mexico, where the police &
the army have failed to protect them
This was predicted some
months ago, that the people will turn to this course of action, much needed for
their own protection
Drug cartels in Mexico have
been fighting to control their criminal activities
These cartels are the scourge
of Mexico & nothing realistically has been done for decades, due to lack of
Government control & corruption
Now the vigilante groups are
taking control of law and order in several towns and are advancing towards the
drug cartels headquarters
Desperate measures are a sure
sign that Government policies have broken down
Mexico’s President promised
to boost the economy and reduce violence
Yet more than 70,000 people
have died in drug related violence in just 6 years
A weak society breeds this
kind of scourge
When people finally stand up
and start to fight back it’s because they demand a better life, nothing else
will eradicate this disease
It is time Mexico woke up and
the Government took responsibility for its people! There is an internal war
here and it must be sorted out
The amazing success story of
India’s eradication of Polio from this country
With effective immunisation
this virus has been successfully eradicated
UNICEF in India has described
this as a landmark of 3 years without Polio; it is a truly monumental milestone
The last case was found in
2011 when an 18 year old girl contracted the disease. She now goes to school
and leads a normal life
This crippling disease still
remains in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria
There society fails to
administer this vital and life changing vaccination
Especially in Pakistan and
Afghanistan, where ignorance and attitude remains stunted
Their society remains in the
dark ages, as fear is a constant reminder of progress that they cannot control
As always it is one rule for
America and another for the rest of the world
A permit to hunt and kill an
endangered Black Rhino in Namibia has been sold in a US auction for $350,000
The Dallas Safari Club in
Texas says the hunt will help protect the species by removing an old aggressive
rhino
The auction was held amid
tight security and dozens of protestors gathered
The proceeds are to be given
to the Namibian Government and will be earmarked for conservation efforts
The permit that was granted
supports an appetite to kill animals
More so especially, when they
are prized because they are an endangered species
The Namibian authorities
could have humanely put this Rhino down
Instead they decide to put
the animal through a gruelling sacrificial hunt where it has no chance
Is this sport? Of course it
is. It is Man’s power and dominance over its prey!
As with all things, it is
money that speaks and animals are just there for one’s pleasure to obliterate
as we see fit
Daily the humanitarian
efforts by the UN to get vital supplies of food to the Syrian people becomes
impossible
The Syrians caught up in
besieged areas are starving. Starvation is all over Syria, which now includes
the capital Damascus
Starvation is a war crime and
those who are responsible will be brought to justice no matter how long it
takes
An all-out effort by the UN
to bring about a solution to this conflict has already failed
What is the point of paying
your salaries if nothing gets done?
People are dying while you
sit on your hands and talk
The Syrian people are
obviously dispensable in your eyes
Otherwise something substantial
would have been done by now
We are coming up to nearly
three years of this conflict and nothing but destruction has been achieved
All who continue to
prevaricate and stall towards obtaining justice to these embittered people will
have their lives on your heads
The case has come to light of
a 10 year old girl in Pakistan who died after her employers confessed to
beating her to death
They are now in custody
This case highlights concerns
about children’s rights
Many children are sent out to
work as domestic help to middle class families
The money they earn is sent
back to their own families to provide them with food
In this case the mother of
the dead girl sent her to work as her husband had died and there was no one to
give financial support
The young girl had been
tortured as acute evidence showed
She had rope burns on her
wrists and feet. She was beaten to death by a gas pipe. She died on arrival at
the hospital
The family admitted torturing
her and showed no remorse
In that same week another
domestic maid aged 15 years old was found dead by strangulation before she had
been sexually abused
The Society For the
Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) receive about 20 cases a year
These cases are brought to
their attention when the victim has died. Assaults and abuses go unreported
There are 12 million children
pushed out onto the streets and with strangers to seek an income
Before their lives have any
chance, they are cruelly cut short by a combination of cruelty, official
indifference and poverty
Pakistan has a nuclear
weapon, but does not have the money to safeguard their own children
The children are the future
for this country to survive, yet are treated perhaps worse than animals
Are we not human in this
world? Were we not born with an intellect and so called compassion?
Animals have a greater sense
of love and protection than we do and we call ourselves intelligent
As the Higher Intelligence
sees all, everything that has been administered unjustly will also receive pain
and suffering
There is no escape and so it
will come to pass
Nothing can ever be gained by
the abject harm on another human being and be expected to get away with it.
That is never the case
All will succumb to the Law,
be it Spiritual Law or Man’s!
The internal mayhem occurring
in Iraq is about to explode and become detrimental to the existing Government
They are in no position to be
able to overcome the enormity of the odds
The existing President will
not be able to hold this country together and a civil war is fast approaching
There cannot be one law for
one and another law for another sect
All must abide by the same
ruling and that should be exercised throughout the entire country
Now, as matters spiral out of
control, the existing President’s role becomes untenable
No matter what the US does,
they will now reap the rewards of not putting in a proper strategy
Too many people have been
hard done by with no existing protections to civilians put in place
Law and order is nowhere to
be seen and all now is chaos and confusion
Daily life, a string of
upstarts and local problems in every district throughout Iraq, is making life
an impossible situation
As anger is already boiling
over, a lack of patience is not the issue here – law and order is!
The world’s trouble spots
begin to tighten their grips and so many people’s lives are held in the balance
There will be strong warning
shots fired over the bows of Governments to sort out internal matters as never before
The Governments can no longer
sleepwalk their way through problems hoping they will somehow miraculously get
swept under the carpet
Iraq is now in dire straits
and needs to get to grips with long-term problems, which the present Government
has failed miserably on
It is not only warring
factions, but dissent within their own people that have caused much unrest and
strife
If this Government does not
get a grip on its actions, it will soon find it is overhauled and another war
will ensue
All the people have to come
together, where all have a vested interest in their country and where common
ground is found
This will help to alleviate
suffering and where security is of paramount importance for all who live there
Security forces should be
made from all walks of life & all sections of the community, so that a
united front has a vested interest for all
The voice of the people needs
to be heard and not ignored as it is now
Iraq is on the brink of war
and will need to come to its senses if it wants peace within its own people
Stability of a nation can
only happen when all can work and live side by side together
Peace is not a luxury, it has
to be worked for & hard negotiation from all sides to meet in the middle
will achieve positive aims for all
It just needs the will of the
people to achieve it
For those, who constantly
will not find the common ground, their lives are not worth living & another
path will be found for them in time
What is needed is a council
of wise people, not fanatics who just want to rise up and destroy
Iraq is worth saving and it
is up to this present Government to realise this. There can be no place for
egos here!
Atmospheric pressures the
entire world over are bringing much relief to fear and anger
There is a sort of lull in
the storm and it will enable people to have that necessary respite in order to
conduct their day to day lives
The fear and the depression
that holds the world in this negative state can be for some extremely
paralysing
It will not allow the common
man to conduct his daily business with any form of satisfaction
So these atmospheric
pressures come in at a time when they are most needed and welcomed
Many will feel lighter in
their minds and far more able to sort out solutions, where before there did not
seem to be any in sight
We are all ruled by the
internal forces of nature and the moon plays an important part in how we feel
and react
All has to remain in balance
so that harmony can be restored to our sometimes battered minds
For those of us who work and
deal with nature, that is where the balance and harmony is best felt and seen
We are able to go with the
ebb and flow and so remain in a calm and compose state of mind
Healing for us is never
difficult and it allows for a greater understanding of the many gifts given to
us by the Higher Intelligence
These indeed surround us all
For those who are not able to
obtain this balance, then healing from experienced operatives becomes necessary
Then wellbeing is always
restored
Peace in the world is not an
easy thing to achieve
It needs the participation on
all sides to adopt a more practical way of doing things
Of course fanatical behaviour
cannot be accepted in any true society as it becomes a disruptive force which
unsettles the balance of society
It is the responsibility of
all clerics and religious bodies to act against this kind of extreme behaviour
They must see that their
religious texts conform to what was truly given in the name of love and not of
violence
Until these clerics are
informed and fully realise the consequences of their actions…
…then it becomes an uphill
struggle to come to any peaceful arrangement
God is only of love and never
of vengeance
In all religions this is the
case and where love and forgiveness is always at the heart of religious
teachings
This must be worked at and
all religious groups should come together in a united force to see that this is
taught over anything else
Man is too easily swayed by
indoctrination and the churches have a duty to their flock to see that this
does not go over the top
Where necessary they should
start to sort out their own indoctrination, which should reflect the current
times and pains of people
Too many wars have been
fought already in the name of religion, not of God and that is why more and
more people despise its very existence
Where is it written by God
that one should fight in his name?
The answer is that it never
was!
It is the churches who
advocate these policies, so that they can have dominion over men
Jesus Christ, one of the
world’s greatest prophets, in all his ministries never struck down a person in
hate or anger
His philosophy was only of
love and that is all he ever preached
Be good to one another and
treat each person as if they were your brother or sister
Welcome them into your home
and feed and clothe them when they are in need
The religions of this world
have a lot to answer for
Until they get their acts
together, peace throughout this world becomes a difficult concept
As people become more
disgusted with the wrong practices in churches and how the clerics behave…
…then more people will
withdraw and religion will cease to be a part of their daily lives
When we die it will be shown
to us all that religion does not exist in the next dimension
It is only God who exists
It is our relationship with
this Intelligence which will instruct us as to how well or our negligent we
have been while on this earth
Then and only then will our
earthly acts be revealed and so we will be accountable under instruction for
those deeds
Yet another amazing person is
fund raising for various children’s charities
He is a Mr McDonald, who is
running from Canada’s east coast to the west coast
That is the equivalent of 200
marathons, which he has been undertaking since March 2013
He was close to finishing
this mammoth task when he was mugged on New Year’s Eve
His bag with film footage of
his expedition as well as cash and credit cards were taken
He also sustained blows to
his head and by speaking with police, as well as social media, he asked for his
bag to be returned
Miraculously his bag and
contents were found and returned to him
Many people on social media
being alerted to his plight expressed their desire to give to the various
children’s charities he was supporting
He had already raised some
£70,000
Mr McDonald carried out this
fund raising challenge to show his gratitude for the care he received as a
child
He had been suffering from a
debilitating immune deficiency and a rare form of spinal condition
He had hoped to finish his
marathon on time, but his injuries caused delays
He will now resume the last
quarter, which is from Banff to Vancouver and we all wish him God speed
He is another remarkable
person, who puts others before himself!
The US has released three
Chinese Muslim Uighurs from Guantanamo Bay
They were flown to Slovakia
where they will be resettled, as China is too dangerous for them to return to
Guantanamo Bay’s prison still
holds 155 so called prisoners down from 750
Many have been there for more
than a decade. They have not stood trial nor have been convicted of any crime,
yet are still held
Countries around the world
have been campaigning for their release, but still very little has been done
Even for those who have gone
on hunger strikes to bring attention to their plight, nothing has been done!
This is a disgrace of their
human rights
The start of the New Year
should finally bring an end to this fiasco, which was promised in the first
year of President Obama’s office
America can’t preach of human
right violations in other parts of the world when they fail to give their own
example!
The giant yellow rubber duck
on display in a Taiwan port has burst. The cause is said to be an attack by
eagles
The duck was designed by a
Dutch artist to be a giant version of a popular bath toy
The original duck, designed
by Florentijn Hofman, has been transported around the globe since 2007
The artist’s intention is to
bring people together and encourage a connection with public art; so far it has
been a worldwide success
Where there is a natural
talking point about a joyful innocent object, then harmony is found
Then different people can
come together to discuss it in light humour
What is needed so much in the
world today is the ability to laugh
We have become such a sullen
people and it is high time we removed ourselves from this rut that consumes too
many of us
We need that duck spirit
