“Noam Chomsky is renowned for
his Knowledge and Power and is one of the world’s most celebrated
intellectuals”
“He is known for his writing
on language and his views on US foreign policy, particularly in the Middle
East”
“As a prolific writer, he has
been controversial”
“Despite his Jewish origins,
he has been an increasing critic of Israeli policy towards the Palestinians and
US foreign policy as a whole”
“What is more important is
the justice for the Palestinian cause”
“There are few in the US, who
have been as strong an ally and a friend of the Palestinian people as Noam
Chomsky”
“Chomsky’s classic works on
Israel – Palestine are ‘Peace in the
Middle East’ (1974) and ‘The Fateful
Triangle’ (1983)”
“They led to him being
marginalised by mainstream academia and publishing”
“By condemning the power
system which is not approved of, Chomsky got denounced by the US press and was
kept out”
“He understood that anyone
who goes against the grain in the US political culture was going to get
marginalised”
“The truths that Chomsky
articulates are very unpopular. In spite of this he has reached wider audiences
by his talks”
“These are always packed out
with thousands of listeners willing to hear his wise words”
“His book ‘9-11: Was There An Alternative?’ put the
attack in the context of America’s intervention worldwide and became a best
seller”
“His work is both original
and important. He has focussed on some of the most critical periods in recent
history”
“Noam Chomsky is the world’s
leading public intellectual, who can match his intellectual achievements with
political courage”
“It has been said that
Chomsky is struck by a sense of very great intellectual power and he is a
tireless scourge of US imperialism”
“Noam Chomsky ranks with
Marx, Shakespeare and the Bible as one of the ten most quoted sources in the
humanities”
“Two of his quotes are
relevant today”
““The Oslo Accords in 1993 determined that the Gaza Strip and the West
Bank are a single territorial entity which cannot be divided…””
““…Immediately, the United States and Israel set about separating the
two and making sure that they would not be united””
““Everybody’s worried about stopping terrorism, well there’s a really
easy way: stop participating in it!””
“The world is in great need
of men of Chomsky’s stature, wisdom and intellect”
“The lack of correct
leadership in this world has brought about world suffering on levels not before
imaged and it is not over yet”
“Until leadership with wisdom
is directed, this world will continue to remain in the cesspit that Mankind has
created!”

“There is a deafening silence
of the media in the international world”
“The toll of Palestinians
injured and killed by the Israeli army is appalling”
“The cycle of violence
continues over decades, as Israel continues to wage its daily war on
Palestinians”
“They restrict their
movements, demolish their homes, displace families & are assassinating
Palestinians & bombing their towns & cities”
“Israel, with US backing,
refuses to abide by international laws of convention”
“These ban occupying forces
from confiscating, acquisition by force and transferring the population from
their own land”
“The Palestinian Authority
(PA) is also to blame”
“By their non-descript
opposition to the Israeli authorities it means the status quo remains intact!”
“It is high time that the PA
started to invest in a new form of leadership”
“They need to begin to have a
greater voice in the international community”
“It is Israel all the time
that calls the shots & screams the loudest, drowning out the bitter cries
of injustice of the Palestinian people”
“It is now time that the
international community woke up from its enforced slumber”
“They need to bring justice
to a people, who have been persecuted wrongly for decades”
“How long can the
international community turn a blind eye and sit on their hands and do
nothing?”
“It is only when the
international community starts to band together that any kind of human rights
for Palestinians can ever come about”
“Their cries are always in
vain!
“We, as a world community,
have a moral responsibility to set the scene right and to finally give
Palestinians their rights and their land”
“To ignore this injustice is
a dark stain on all of us, who are compliant with this Israeli aggression”
“President Obama has a moral
and political obligation to hold the Israeli prime minister accountable for his
failures”
“His policies in Palestine
are dangerous”
“We all have blood on our
hands”
“Collectively we all are
guilty by our intransigence to sit back and see the slaughter of innocent
people and still do nothing!”
“Are we human or are we
savages? Are we all like the Israelis bent on carrying out injustices on our
own fellow man?”
“The Jews of this world
control it and they are the ruling sector here”
“Nobody dare override their
position of authority”
“So bloodshed and injustice
will continue to spawn violence until Mankind starts to deal with justice and
the rule of law!”

“The incompetent way that
India’s Government cannot deal with rape in their country continues”
“Until India’s laws are
enforced with the highest penalty and profile on rape…”
“…then the plight of women
and children continue to suffer extreme brutality nationally”
“Unless India’s Government
starts to do something that will educate their men into what they are doing…”
“…then women will start to
take extreme matters into their own hands and arm themselves against assaults”
“The latest horror to emerge
in this rape country is a four year old girl, who is in intensive care due to
her injuries on being gang raped”
“This child was found unconscious
by a railway track last Friday evening”
“She had been slashed and
suffered severe injuries to her body”
“Brutal sexual attacks
against women and children continue to be reported right across the country”
“In July of this year a man
was arrested, who confessed to sexually assaulting and murdering thirty
children in and around Delhi”
“More than 1,500 cases of
rape have been reported to police this year alone. It is believed that many
more go unreported”
“Again it shows that not
enough is being done to deter or educate the population that these assaults
will not go unpunished”
“It is the culture of abuse
that needs to be addressed and cannot be left to go unnoticed anymore”
“Extreme measures to protect
women and children have to be stepped up and these measures must be implemented
by Parliament”
“Current measures in place
are not doing the job”
“There has already been a
national outcry, who is actually listening to the people?”
“India still has not enough
toilets for its citizens and children become vulnerable when men go out to
relieve themselves”
“Again shame on the Indian
Government”
“The Indian Government and
subsequent other Governments are a disgrace to their own people and all have
let them down”
“Rape destroys lives forever
and we do not believe that lives are cheap, but sacred”
“If animals such as the cow,
the monkey, elephants and tigers are all considered sacred in India and
revered, then human life is also”
“You cannot see one as sacred
and not the other!”
“It is high time that India’s
Government come up to the plate”
“They must dealt with these
perpetrators of brutal crimes against the innocent and helpless children of
this world”

“The situation in Syria under
the Russian bombardment will intensify”
“Russia is determined to
break the deadlock of the Bashar al-Assad regime”
“Russia expects Bashar
al-Assad to remain in power for all time”
“They expect him to give
Russia whatever it wants, which is a divided Syria and not a united one”
“The rules of the game are
changing daily and it is now up to the other Arab States to come to the rescue
of Syria”
“Otherwise it will finally be
carved up like a piece of cake with no proper government to speak of”
“Syria and the Syrian people
have already lost this war. Another established democratic policy will have to
follow on”
“Bashar al-Assad can never
rule over a fraction of this once great country, as the Syrian people
themselves want to be rid of him”
“Iran will play its part in
the division of Syria and put their man in charge, which will not be Bashar
al-Assad”
“It will be another, which
would be closer to their influence”
“America and the West will
need to compromise with other regional powers to see what is left and how that
other slice of Syria can operate”
“What is sure is that Russia
will do its best to disarm terrorist fighting for the freedom of Syria”
“But over time it will fail
and so they will have to put up with just a part of Syria and not the whole
country!”
“Syria is in a lose-lose
situation and IS will still be the breeding ground of continuous unrest over
many years”
“All the major powers are now
reaping what they have sown in breaking Syria apart”
“There will still be a
bloodbath until the political solution is found”
“There have been mistakes on
the ground that have still not been realised, but need to be dealt with”
“Armies of many different
factions are now facing an uphill battle to demolish a failed state”
“Only when nothing is left
will the solutions be found”
“The Syrian people are just
the pawns in a highly complicated and motivated system of power sharing”

“Kazakhstan is a country
rising every day and its new capital has many amazing buildings”
“The buildings have local
nicknames. The Banana is a bright yellow office tower”
“The Cigarette Lighter is the
Ministry of Transport and Communications”
“The Baiterek building does
not have a nickname, as it does not look like anything else”
“Baiterek means ‘tall popular
tree’ in Kazakh. It is a 318 foot tower, buttressed by an exoskeleton and white
painted steel”
“At its top is a gold tinted
glass sphere”
“At its base is a monument
that represents the Kazakh myth of a sacred bird that every year lays a golden
egg”
“The sun is the crown of an
enormous tree of life”
“The designer is President
Nursultan Nazarbayev”
“He’s a steel worker turned
strongman, who has run this country since its independence of Russia in 1991”
“He is also responsible for
changing the country’s capital from a temperate area to a frigid windswept
area, some 600 miles north”
“The new capital is called
Astana, which means centre in Kazakh”
“Kazakhstan is rich in oil
and minerals. Its billions have been lavishly invested in this new capital”
“It has invited some of the
world’s leading architects to showcase their work”
“The results are eclectic and
visually arresting, but are not to everybody’s taste”
“To build this dream city,
President Nazarbayev has established foreign benefactors, all eager to do
business with this country”
“A Qatari emir founded a
mosque and space for 7,000 worshippers. Islam is the dominant faith of this
country”
“Some years ago Nazarbayev
declared he wanted a huge pyramid built”
“It was called the Palace of
Peace and Harmony and the design went to the British architect Norman Foster”
“He was also responsible for
the Khan Shatyr or the King’s Tent building”
“Norman Foster’s concrete and
glass pyramid is awe inspiring and it contains a 1,500 seat opera house as well
as conference rooms”
“At the very top is a sky lit
conference room”
“It is bathed in natural
light by pale blue, white and gold stained glass windows depicting doves
against the sky”
“Kazakhstan’s climate is
extreme, because it is at the centre of the Asian continent”
“Astana, the brand new
purpose built capital, is an act of defiance against the constraints of nature”
“There are temperatures of
-35⁰C in winter and of +35⁰C
in summer”
“President Nazarbayev wants to
have this city as a memorial to his leadership and his reign, which is held
with an iron tight grip”
“At present he has no one to
take over from him and this is posing worries amongst his people”
“Until that day occurs, the
President will keep on building and so his legacy will remain intact!”

“As more unrest is expected
in Turkey putting elections on the back burner, the causes are as always the
lesser parties”
“This includes the Kurdish
people, who feel left out in the cold”
“President Erdogan, wishing
to expand his presidential powers, will fail again”
“Until Turkey can come to
terms with its past and deliver a more integrated society, then further clashes
are almost imminent”
“The writing is on the wall
for the so called new elections, which cannot take place while tempers and
anarchy are still riding high”
“It is necessary now to come
up with a new solution & to bring all the factors to the table to iron out
new laws & rights for the people”
“Turkey is not just half a
country but a whole one and that is why it is vital to come together
peacefully”
“They need to make the
necessary concessions, so that new elections can be realised and be
sustainable”
“As with all matters, it will
be the people who will speak out”
“No amount of underhanded
policies, put in place by Erdogan, will sit with the people, who are not naïve”
“They are willing to risk
everything, so that a more modern democracy can be formed”
“The old ways that power-crazy
Erdogan wants, are not what the people desire”
“They wish now to entertain
new ideas for a freer mandate or revolution to come in”
“Where it is more liberalised
and can sustain a more integrated society”
“Just because President
Erdogan can put his iron grip on the people, does not mean they will sit back
and take it anymore”
“They already understand his
motives and it is not what the people want”
“See another failed election
when it comes in. Turkey needs a new
beginning to be formed, which will be sustainable”
“It must incorporate the
other political parties and their agendas to safeguard Turkey and bring it into
a new future”
“The world is changing and it
is high time that old principles were looked at”
“New ones need to be put in
place, which are more in keeping with this modern world”
“If Turkey wants to thrive
once more, it needs to listen to the needs of the people and not what the
politicians want for themselves!”

“The amazing scientific
discovery that Elephants have their natural defences against cancer that
prevents tumours from forming”
“Scientists from the
University of Utah have stated that Elephants have naturally shown how to
prevent cancer in their DNA”
“Elephants, because of their
size have 100 times more cells than humans & as they live long lives, they
should be more likely to get cancer”
“Research has shown that only
5% of Elephants die from this disease compared with 25% in humans”
“Researchers have looked into
the Elephant’s DNA to find out the reasons why so few Elephants contract
cancer”
“It’s been shown that when an
Elephant’s cell becomes damaged, an alarm goes off and leads to the damaged
cell being repaired or killed off”
“These special alarms are called
TP53 and Elephants have twenty more TP53 than humans, who only have one!”
“Elephants have twenty times
more ways to cope with the key cancer fighting gene than humans”
“The TP53 gene plays a vital
role in preventing cancer”
“It is the guardian of the
genome, which scans the cells of the elephant for any genetic mistakes &
destroys those that cannot be repaired”
“TP53 is an ancient gene
found in multicellular animals”
“It detects the stress or
damage to the cell and stops it dividing until the stress has passed or the DNA
repaired”
“It is a well-defined tumour
suppressor”
“Big animals like Elephants
live longer”
“Their cells have to divide
more and so one would expect that they are more susceptible to cancer, but they
are not!”
“Nature has found out how to
prevent cancer in animals over an evolutionary time”
“By killing off the damaged
cell, it’s gone and therefore cannot turn into cancer and so the cycle
continues with less risk to the animal”
“Therefore TP53 is nature’s
way of keeping this species alive”
“Elephants will help hold the
key to unlocking some of the mysteries of cancer”
“Elephants are not the only
large animals to have evolved in ways to defeat cancer”
“The Bowhead Whales are even
larger then Elephants and live longer, some surviving up to 200 years”
“Clinical trials are hoping
to get better treatments for cancer, especially for children”
“Children get the rare
condition Li-Fraumeni Syndrome in which they only have one working TP53 and
they have up to 90% risk of cancer”
“It is the Animal Kingdom,
which holds the information that will help lead to cures for many human
illnesses”

“The world continues to
change and world leaders continue to grapple with what they feel are impossible
odds”
“Little chinks of light
appear from nowhere and a greater understanding of world issues suddenly
becomes realised”
“Too many countries are
facing internal dilemmas and they must act quickly to sort out the continued
unrest that is growing”
“Until the voices of the
people are heard and a different strategy is enforced, then dissent will take
over and chaos will be the outcome”
“Governments are beginning to
think more clearly and are looking at ways to avoid conflict by bringing in the
right thinking plan”
“There are too many advisors
with their own way of thinking that benefits them and not the people at large”
“It is now time that the
Governments seek impartial advice from ground level to see what is both
possible and practical”
“The world domination is now
no more as more fragmentations on policies have the deciding factor”
“Money shortages & the
will by the people, who no longer wish to lose their lives for causes not worth
fighting for, are becoming evidential”
“More countries are losing
more manpower than they have cause to loose”
“They are in need of building
up their citizens to bring in the wealth that these countries need to survive”
“Lives are no longer cheap to
lose, as nations need building after wars are over”
“With little manpower, this
becomes impossible leaving countries stranded in a non-productive state”
“All Governments are now
seriously considering their manpower and their resources to establish
themselves for their futures”
“Bankrupt little states are
no longer a viable proposition”
“To steal the wealth of a
country’s people in manpower is sacrilege in anyone’s mind!”
“Nations are now looking to
build for their future and for the generations to come”
“This will allow for
education of the masses to be reinvested in and for a rebuilding programme that
is progressive and sustainable”
“No longer can countries be
so flippant and go to war at the drop of a hat”
“Countries are considering
the deep financial burdens put on their citizens and so a different form of
thinking is being pursued”
“Life is no longer
expendable, but is being realised as a valuable commodity in the building up of
nations”
“Wars will have to be
negotiated and terms agreed before bodies are expelled on the ground”
“See the turning point in so
many wars and where once was considered a stalemate situation…”
“…new ideas are being forced
to the surface and compromise through these ideas will be pursued!”

“The Martin Ennals Award for
Human Rights Defenders has been won by an UAE activist Mr Ahmed Mansoor”
“Ahmed Mansoor has regularly
raised concerns about arbitrary detention, torture and degrading treatment in
the Gulf State”

grievances he has faced repeated intimidation, harassment and death threats”
“These came from the UAE
authorities and their supporters”
“The Martin Ennals Award is
named after the late British lawyer”
“He became the first head of
the human rights organisation Amnesty International”
“Mr Mansoor was selected by a
panel of ten global human rights organisations”
“The organisers of the Award
ceremony have stated Mr Mansoors’ absence due to the UAE officials is a very
disappointing position”
“The UAE is a country that
prides itself on its international relations regarding business and tourism in
the Middle East”
“The UAE is a member of the
UN Human Rights Council”
“Therefore they should honour
their obligations to uphold human rights and to protect human rights defenders”
“By doing so, they show signs
of moving forwards towards a more liberal and open-minded society”
“The Government should not be
afraid to embrace all those who think rightly”
“Or those who activate safe
policies for all citizens in keeping with their human rights”
“It’s fear that these
Governments will become weaker & so they put a stranglehold on those they
feel are out of step with their own thinking”
“It is by embracing the
rights of their citizens and releasing their stranglehold on them that will
allow for a better society to emerge
“In that way UAE will become
richer and more robust in their thinking for the safeguards of their citizens”
“It is their citizens’ wish
to think and grow in that society”
“Never use fear to quash what
is ultimately right in today’s world”
“With social media worldwide,
no country can any longer isolate their citizens and hold dominance over how
they act”
“It is time for the Arab
States to embrace free speech and free thinking”
“This will encourage growth
and individualism to promote a healthier more balanced state”
“This way all that live there
can be proud to be citizens of a progressive state and not continue to be a
suppressed subversive people”
“Freedom to speak openly will
never be quashed indefinitely – the world now is too small to contain
isolation”
“The people of this world
will be heard and that movement is growing”
“It is high time that the
Arab States began to learn and to understand this & to grow from it &
not live in fear as they now do!”
“Mr Mansoor will continue to
highlight the deep human rights issues that are there in the UAE and other Arab
States”
“Their voices are growing and
are unstoppable”
“It is not about dissent, but
about tolerance for one’s human rights, which after all, are a God-given right!”

importance of facing injustice. His work is carried out without ever revealing
his identity”

critical indictment on some of Ghana’s highly esteemed judges, who indulge in
degrading acts of corruption”

of video evidence on tape, showing judges asking for bribes and demanding sex”

suspended seven of its twelve High Court judges implicated in bribery”
“Also twenty-two Lower Court
judges have been suspended”
“The seven most senior judges
have been suspended so far, in what is now Ghana’s biggest corruption scandal
in its judiciary”
“If they are found guilty
they will be sacked”

respectability for financial gain”
“While at the same time they
endanger security and the rights and lives of the people they were engaged to
protect”
“The hard facts reveal that
these judges violate their sacred oaths and shatter the solemn trust and
confidence of a whole nation”
“They allow themselves to
step into the quagmire of corruption”
“The people of Ghana have
been watching Mr Anas’s film in packed cinemas in the capital city of Accra”
“Some of Mr Anas’
investigations demonstrate the importance of facing injustice”
“We have here a man with an
incredible sense of doing what is right, where his journalism leads him to help
progress in his society”

modern day folk hero exposing corruption wherever he sees it”
“As an undercover journalist,
he has posed as a female investigator in high heels and a janitor in a brothel”
“He has hidden in a false
rock and has been put in prison to highlight problems there”

trafficking rackets, corruption in the police and malpractice in a food
processing plant”

many more journalists to be inspired in doing this incredible work?”

far deeper than the physical injury”

have mental health problems and suffer loss of confidence”

of domestic violence equals the Government spending on primary education”
“Around the world the home
continues to be the most dangerous place for women”
“The Straw Hat Project works
with women in the state of Pernambuco in Brazil to help them break out of the
cycle”
“It helps them to empower
themselves to challenge this deeply patriarchal culture”
“This project takes the name
from the hats women used to wear in the fields when they were working”
“The wider the hat the more
protection against the sun”
“The Straw Hat Project
teaches women about their legal rights and helps them to recognise the
different violence they are subjected to”
“There is a law that was
introduced in 2006 to address crimes against women. It is called the Maria da
Penha Law”

stand up to her father and to stop the beatings she was regularly subjected to”
“A Straw Hat coordinator
explained that once women become more confident they want to start working”
“The Straw Hat Project offers
skilled based courses to help women set up businesses and increase their
income”
“A woman who learned to sew
and now teaches, says her husband is getting used to the idea that women can’t
only stay at home”
“Other women’s projects make
brooms from plastic bottles. Their brooms are now having a positive effect on
the local economy”
“Leaving the horror of
domestic violence is the first step for them all!”
“It was in May 1983 that
biopharmaceutist Maria da Penha Fernandez was fast asleep when her husband shot
her”
“This left her a paraplegic
for life and, two weeks after she returned from hospital, he tried to
electrocute her”
“Her case took two decades to
get to court, all this time her husband remained free”
“Years later in a landmark
ruling, the Court of Human Rights criticized the Brazilian Government”
“It did so for not taking
effective measures to prosecute and convict perpetrators of domestic violence”
“The Brazilian Government
responded in 2006 and enacted a law named “Maria da Penha Law” on domestic and
family violence”

than cattle, must be stopped”

the Church’s stance on social issues, such as divorce and homosexuality”

spoke to the media with his Spanish boyfriend by his side”

conference in Rome that he has been compelled to speak out”

of the Church’s attitude to sexual minorities”

institutionalised homophobia in the Church”
“It oppressed the gay men,
who according to him make up the majority of priests”

should open up their eyes to the suffering of gay priests who desired love!”

fornicate with children, but they can’t be homosexual. This is the hypocrisy
that faces the Catholic Church every day”

“…was forced to step down”
“Everyone at the highest
level of the Vatican’s internal bureaucracy in the Curia lost their jobs”
“Pope Benedict voluntarily
delivered himself as the sacrificial lamb to purge this Church with what he
called “The Filth””
“This took great courage”
“Pope Benedict sacrificed
himself to cleanse the Vatican of corruption”
“This allowed Pope Francis to
proceed in making the necessary significant changes that the Catholic Church
now faces”

longer moralise or give advice on any subject to any of its parishioners…”

own mess and not even after that!”

right minds can take on any of the rhetoric that the Church continues to be
steadfast in”

people under his umbrella of love and sensitivity”

and right action and embraced all in his love”
“He never abused anybody nor
did he swindle anybody, his philosophy was entirely love orientated on every
level”
“This included the sanctity
of marriage of which Jesus was married and not celibate as the Church continues
to promote”
“Until the Catholic Church
stops lying and starts stating the truth it can never move on”
“It can’t be recognised as an
establishment that is right for the people to believe in”
“The people of this world are
following the teachings of Jesus Christ, but not from the Churches’ point of
view”
“But through their own hearts
and what comes to them directly from God itself”
“They no longer need the
trappings of a Church and its false doctrines, which are corrupt and poisoned
with lies!”

“The devastating killing of
many ‘Doctors Without Borders’ in a bombing raid on their hospital in Kunduz by
NATO forces”
“Doctors without Borders
(MSF) say at least nine of their staff had been killed together with many more
MSF staff wounded”
“It included 19 of their
staff members”
“MSF had frantically phoned
NATO and Washington DC as the bombs rained over their hospital for over an
hour”
“The MSF hospital in Kunduz
is a key specialised lifeline in Kunduz, Afghanistan’s second largest city”
“It is now known that NATO
and US air strikes were responsible for this hospital being hit”
“The hospital had already
been running beyond capacity in recent days as intense Taliban fighting seized
control of this city some days ago”
“This hospital is the only
trauma and medical centre in this region that can deal with major injuries”
“That is why it is such a
lifeline for so many”
“At the time of the bombing
105 patients, their caretakers together with 80 MSF international &
national staff were present in the hospital”
“The bombing by NATO forces
is now being investigated”
“As always MSF is meticulous
in giving out their coordinates to all those who are in conflict contexts”
“Their precise locations are
communicated to all parties on multiple occasions over many months”
“The hospital condemns the
bombing and this attack on innocent people”
“It is an absolute disgrace
and inexcusable that this should have happened”
MSF doctors give up their
lives and time away from their own family and friends”
“They devote themselves in
helping people all over the world to heal and to remove their suffering”
“It is time that more respect
on every level is given to them”
“It should be known without
their own personal sacrifice many millions of people around the world would not
be alive today!”

“For many of those who are in
power consider themselves in a class of their own”
“Their own little bubble of
self-importance makes them oblivious to the needs of others, who are less
fortunate & cannot fend for themselves”
“Situations for counties turn
around when heads of Governments consider their people and why they are there”
“Not to prop up the state,
but to be a part of it and its growth”
“Those lost in their own
power vacuum do not hear the cries of the people. That is not what interests
them”
“They continue to extend
their own power base to puff up their ego and surround themselves with the many
sycophants that they can muster”
“Life has a funny way of
hitting back when they least expect it and public heads are let down and their
dismissal is often brutal and final”
“These are lessons from which
they don’t seem to learn”
“We must all look to
ourselves that we are in the right motive of intention”
“This is to look after those
who are unable to fend for themselves and to assist where possible”
“Too many people these days
are selfish and uninterested in the rest of the human race”
“As long as they’re okay
& their little world is exclusive & functionary, they see little point
in venturing outside their own little bubble”
“To see the poor and
underprivileged people might weigh on their conscience for the time being”
“But the impact is never
enough to motivate them to do something”
“To aid Mankind in relieving
their suffering takes time, effort, compassion and motivation to do something”
“It takes personal effort and
with that responsibility to take matters on and put them right”
“In other words we need to
invest in oneself to make a conscience effort to release the sufferings of so
many”
“It is the special dedicated
people in the world that do this. Those with an ego/powerbase have no place in
their lives”
“It is these people that make
them happen and change people’s lives for the better all over the world”
“With that mind-set they
benefit with an inner glow. Their
satisfaction is priceless and continuous”
“It is these people that are
actually happy in their lives and value all that is given to them and do not
see it as their right to have”
“All those whose egos are of
a selfish nature will always be unhappy”
“Nothing will ever satisfy
the insatiable appetite of the ego and its power”

“Bolivia’s main crop is Coca,
which has been harvested for generations”
“It has been stated that Coca
quells hunger and gives strength to those who work”
“It eases altitude sickness
that affects visitors to the nearby high Andean plateaus”
“It has been highly valued by
the people living in the Andes for its nutritional and medicinal qualities”
“Coca also contains alkaloids
used in the production of cocaine, the drug which causes worldwide devastation”
“Bolivia is the world’s third
largest source of Coca and it is the Government of Bolivia, which is trying to
control its production”
“Since 2010-2013 Bolivia’s
coca production has dropped by 26%”
“In order to restore the
dignity of the Coca leaf the Bolivian Government launched an international
campaign to de-penalise Coca”
“This is to take it off the
list of narcotics drawn up by the Vienna Convention”
“Bolivia has succeeded with
dialogue with its producers to restrict their crops to only state authorised
areas”
“Their aim is to voluntarily
reduce the amount of land used”
“Coca is a most valued crop
in Bolivia, no other crop grown can meet the amount of revenue generated by it”
“With the Government
involvement, it protects its traditional crops from narco-trafficking”
“Bolivia is also a country
where cocaine is produced”
“Its eastern side is a
transit zone between the world’s main areas of production in Peru”
“These areas are the main
centre for drug consumption in Sao Paulo and Rio in Brazil”
“There needs to be a balance
between doing what is right and allowing Bolivia to obtain revenue”
“Without this crop Bolivia
would not survive”
“Bolivia is one of the poorest
countries in the world and it needs help on an international scale to support
it in other ways”
“Then their farmers can farm
other crops with an income that these people can live on”
