Judge sentences three men convicted in murder of Ahmaud Arbery

Recent news reports suggest that the Government of Australia has the world’s most aggressive policy toward immigrants. It has established detention camps in Papua New Guinea and may have actually paid people smugglers to take their human cargos elsewhere. Yet Australia is a vast empty continent with an area of over seven and a half million square kilometres and a population of less than twenty four millions. Only Mongolia and Namibia have lower population densities. Surely, the one place on earth that can accommodate Asia’s overflowing millions is Australia!

Summary: With probably trillions in gold, Pope Francis has a good idea about sharing the wealth. Would he be willing to set a good example and say, “Follow me”?

Conspiracy Theory or Common Sense? A global awakening is occurring now. We see it everywhere, along with the need for a massive wake-up call. Most of us humans are driven by our fear-based beliefs of separation, which form into our collective consciousness. This message is a channeled communication from the spirit of Jesus and it speaks of a unique space in time when God will no longer allow our spiritual stagnation. This is an historic moment in which we must all make a conscious decision. Shall we allow ourselves to become more controlled by a governing body, which is quickly leading us all to a more enslaved way of living? Is this “New World Order” of a “One-World Government” truly a potential reality? And if so, is there any realistic alternative? According to Jesus and the angels, yes, there is a better way. There is a better way out and a better future ahead for all who choose it. The author asks you to consider the solutions within this message with an open mind and an open heart. Then, you have a decision to make!

The British were brought up to be proud of the BBC as the world’s most trusted news broadcaster, widely respected for speaking objectively, free from both political control and commercial interest. So it is with shock and heartfelt disappointment that we have witnessed the sorry and accelerating decline in standards over the past two decades. From being a leading independent broadcaster it has sunk to the level of a second-rate commercial operator, no longer an object of pride and in danger of becoming a cause of shame. Why has this been allowed to happen?

Looking back, there seems to have been a time, perhaps apocryphal, when everybody took it for granted that all states spied on all other states, and peace was maintained by nothing being said about it. Under these conditions, all that appeared in the newspapers about espionage was an occasional review of an Ian Fleming novel. In recent times, this universal tranquillity has been shattered by the eruption of internet hackers feeding an already voracious international news media. Now we are told by a fugitive sheltering in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, and wanted by jurisdictions in Sweden and the USA, that ‘The French people have a right to know that their elected government is subject to hostile surveillance from a supposed ally.’

When asked about the end of the world in Matthew 24, Christ said to understand Daniel. His 8th chapter is “at the time of the end” and has imagery that fits US, Iran, Russia, China, the EU and papacy.

Rio de Janeiro really is a tale of two cities. On the one hand, they have all glitz and glamour designed to impress the world and on the other hand lies the dark side of poverty so acute leaves little doubt that crime accentuated by violence is the main facet of everyday life. This in a city that is supposed to hold the next Summer Olympics.

European indifference helped create the refugee crisis. But American fingerprints are on it too.

After various periods of residence in Vietnam totalling over more than five years no opportunity had arisen to witness an independence-day celebration. However, on the second of September, 2015, Vietnam celebrated its seventieth anniversary of independence and a major parade was held on the extensive Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi, in the shadow of founding father, Ho Chi Minh’s great mausoleum. Beginning with a march past of all the units of the armed forces it progressed to a procession of floats and glorious displays of elaborate costumes by a broad cross section of Vietnam’s fifty four ethic minority peoples.

China finds scapegoats in the press for its financial woes. We sought ours in the banks.
