.Your
Mind
The
human mind is the most important aspect of our being. How we think and what we
think determines our behavior and our deeds or accomplishments in life - even
our eternal state. Our character is the personality that others experience when
interacting with us. This character is a derivative of our mind and our very
thoughts. As Christians we are to be transformed into the likeness of the mind
and character of Jesus Christ.
The bible and
especially the New Testament teach that we are responsible for the state of our
mind and how our mind applies itself to the problems and challenges of
life.
Think about
it!
.
Examples of Conceptual Linkages used to tie together world news
threads.
.
1. Global Privatisation is currently based on the idea of
political and social evolution by means of business entities - usually
corporations- which operate on the principle of "profit". This principle of
"profit" is based on greed, the getting of more than was given. It is a
principle of taking as much as possible while giving in return as little a
possible with the medium of exchange being money.
.
Business which is the production and
exchange of products and services should not be based on an uncertain and
manipulated return on investment called profit. It should rather be based on a
fair value of exchange based on the true expenses involved.
.
In addition, business should operate with
responsibility to it's employees, other businesses and the environment. All
business operations should be formed and audited from the perspective that they
are providing socially required products and services necessary for social well
being.
.
The reward in
forming and managing a business should be purely humanitarian and not for the
sake of personal financial gain.
.
The above perspective is a Christian perspective of work processes
designed to care for others and an economy designed around the well being of
the nation and it's environment.
.
The current world stock market crisis is brought on by human greed
focused on financial profit. The institution of investment for profit is doomed
to failure. The USA will be forced from within itself to implement an entirely
new economy which frees itself from these kinds of principles and institutions.
This new economy will lead the world in daily self less work aimed only at
caring for the nation and it's environment.
.
2. The EU will develop into a military and
financial super power consisting of a large block of nations. There will
develop strong differences between the USA and the EU regarding basic
principles and institutions used to further globalization. The EU will press
towards a kind of IMF controlled privatisation much like it is now occurring.
But the USA will move away from this humanist approach and towards the type of
globalization defined in example 1 above.
.
This Americas approach to globalization
will be first realized and developed between the USA and all the Americas. The
agreements and relationships between the USA and the Americas will evolve both
in competition with the EU as well as to address environment and social well
being issues of the Americas. Britain may withdraw from the EU and join other
nations in a union with the Americas.
.
The Americas will become the second
integrated super power with the USA as it's head and protector. There will be
an overwhelming turn towards the Christian way of life that will occur
throughout the entire Americas resulting in morality and ethical considerations
and simplicity of life that returns the USA to a position closer to that
envisioned by it's founding fathers.
.
However, the EU will move into a form of
humanism where there is a negative attitude towards religion in general and a
desire to solve world social problems through the power of human reason and
applied financial controls.
.
These changes to the EU and the Americas
will come into place in very unexpected ways and situations. But they will be
driven by man's free will to either look to God for answers or to look at just
the human mind for answers. As a result the Americas headed by the USA will put
themselves into trade and military isolation from most of the rest of the EU
controlled world. This will necessitate the EU stepping in militarily to
conflicts that affect their stability and range of financial dominance. At this
time the Israel-Palestine conflict will escalate beyond human reason to
resolve. This situation then places the entire world into conflict.
.
But the Americas will only be involved in this
conflict near the very end of this conflict when through their military might
they strike a final blow to this conflict of nations. Then war will be no more
and the Americas will become a model of social order and
economics.
3. The corruption and disregard for human life by leaders
of various African nations. This includes their lack of accountability to the
UN and what appears to be a strategy of getting the world to feed their
starving, destitute and war torn while they engage in self indulgence and war
fare.
.
4. The ineffectiveness of the UN as a means of
establishing and maintaining global peace.
.
The apparent inability of the UN to
resolve problems in a truly democratic way due to allowing countries to form
voting blocks in order to establish dominance over each other and rulings and
policies applied against each other. Democracy works through the legislation of
laws that protect human rights in a social context and these laws become the
means to protect society from destructions and to create social well being.
These laws become immediately enforceable by policing agencies. This type of
process does not exist in the UN and there is no bite to the bark if it
did.
.
True democracy means
a majority rule but not a disregard of the minority. Rule here has to do with
administration of social conditions and the responsibility to legislate on
behalf of that responsibility. Many of the nations involved in this so-called
global world democracy we call the UN do not even have democratic governments
or believe in the democratic principles used to operate governments. Instead,
they have single party systems or effectively a single party system which they
pretend to the world to be a democratic institution government. Voting in a
limited choice environment is not true democracy. Creating irreversible
resolutions are also not democratic.
.
In addition, the UN has demonstrated an
ignorance of the dynamics of war and an inability to deal with those dynamics
other than to insist on compromise through a negotiation process, the
implementation of embargoes., or condemnation according to predetermined and
yet inadequate resolutions of what constitute crimes against humanity. And in
this respect the ICC appears to be organized in such a way that up the road a
suitably large block of nations can cause the USA to be tried for crimes
against humanity committed while trying to protect itself or maintain world
peace.
.
Also the inability
of the UN to staff itself with personnel capable of seeing both sides of any
issue in an objective framework without a national, religious, or cultural
predisposition they bring into that job.
.
Finally, the UN is simply the
manipulative political means for those that by one means or another are able to
dominate the making of resolutions. In other words it was set up to maintain
the status quo. But the changing times now go against that original intent as
nations group to form voting blocks to shift the balance of
power.
.

COMMENT: Some
of the above news items report on an event associated with situations that
still continue without a conclusion. Some examples as of 30-Jul-2002 are: the
probe into Afghan bombing affecting a wedding party, a probe into torture and
death threats in Afghanistan, Karzai considering US protection, regular
intrusions by militants into India controlled Kashmir, peace negotiations,
aftermath of serious accidents, and the list goes on. What we try to show is
each major situation in the form of one or more news events and any linkage
between these major situations that get or should get world wide attention.
Any of these situations can conclude or transition into another major
situation and we will try to capture those events in this magazine. For
example, a current UN report as of 30-Jul-2002 has come out questioning the
American account of what took place in the Afghan wedding bombing. Many who are
constantly anti American in their world view point have seized upon this
situation in their usual political posturing and condemn the USA in such a way
as to suggest a war like disposition leading to war crimes. Much of this kind
of talk falls like leaves in the autumn wind after having served its propaganda
purpose.
Much debate and discussion has occurred in the UN assembly
regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict with pro Palestinian blocks pressing to
charge Israel for war crimes while at the very moment of making such charges
Hamus and other Palestinian terror groups are daily attempting and often
accomplishing war crimes aimed specifically against Israeli citizens.
All this on going maneuvering is why there are numerous commentaries
placed in various spots throughout this magazine. Even the news agencies become
less than objective in their reporting of world events, having themselves taken
on a position regarding certain situations, or the headline but not the content
suggests conclusions not in alignment with the actual facts.
It has
gotten to a point in the USA that American politicians almost have to prove to
the public according to the satisfaction of the news media that they are not
guilty of some crime for which the news media are suggesting by their reporting
of the situation that they are guilty. Silence is assumed to be guilt by many
in the news media. This is made worse by efforts on the part of the news media
to interview only those that support their slant. These then are dangerous
times where anyone can sue anyone without any justification and do it to
punish, embarrass, bankrupt, and possibly prosecute someone they perceive as an
enemy or opponent. And this is also what some are trying to do with the ICC. We
are caught up in a world where those that seek power do so for self
gratification and not for the good of those not in power. They create a world
propelled by hate where people entirely lose the notion of love, the caring for
one another as it's own reward. We see this in Pakistan, Zimbabwe, many of the
African and Arab nations, and the list goes on and on. It has become a
"politically correct" world of "say what sounds good and then maneuver do what
you want".

Editors Note To The Public
At the
present time most of the news bulletins consist of extracts from the BBC and
VOA. These are selected for display in this magazine on the basis of their
relevance to the evolving world situation militarily, politically, and
culturally and including the economic, religious and social evolution issues.
Comments occasionally appear regarding a specific news bulletin or regarding a
conceptual linkage of specific news threads. For example, the
Israel-Palestine conflict is a news thread having a conceptual linkage that
identifies a key world flashpoint involving military conflict on a global basis
as fed by a growing social process of hatred and religious intolerance. All
world news is considered by this magazine to reflect in some way the sovereign
will of God from the perspective of man's exercise of free will. This may sound
contradictory only to those who do not understand the value of free will and
the management issues necessary to bring it into proper functionality in the
affairs of mankind. From this perspective, the evolution of world wide
circumstances are designed to humble man into the proper cooperation with
Divine Will. Famine, pestilence, disease, war, and all kinds of other
situations are perceived as brought on by man himself as natural consequences
coming out of man's refusal to allow the Will of Divine Love to be the single
controlling attitude and motivation to all personal and social situations and
decisions. Regardless of the pain and sacrifice, the innocent and
the guilty, mankind must collectively "learn" this lesson as a species. This is
the "price" man pays for misuse of the great "gift" of possession and
expression of "free" will. God has ordained and provisioned through Christ the
means whereby man can be so transformed and enabled. For more on conceptual
linkages see the adjacent left side of the web page. If you do not want to wade
through our presentation of the news, then for complete news wire bulletins, no
pictures, no comments, go to section 21.

| Does Iran
fear invasion by the USA? Does Iran believe that by masking it's fear with
hatred and seeking trade and other agreements with the EU to hide behind it
will establish a form of protection from invasion? By forming a friendly
alliance with Iran, the EU has positioned itself as a defacto protector of a
nation sponsoring and harboring terrorism. Will this sort of behavior, the
future manipulation of the ICC by Arab and African nations to condemn USA
global anti terrorism efforts, as well as trade conflicts and other issues
between the USA and Europe bring about a split between Europe and the USA
causing the USA to withdraw from NATO and turn it's efforts exclusively to a
confederation of the Americas? |
Iranian
President Mohammad Khatami said he fears the United States is steering the
world toward war in its fight against terrorism. His remark follows U.S. media
reports that the Bush administration is scrapping a five-year effort to engage
the moderate Muslim cleric.
 Iranian clerics incite
hatred in their followers towards the USA and it's way of life.
There
is a power struggle going on in Iran between the so called elected moderates
and the clerical authorities. |
Mr. Khatami in office since 1997 was
reelected last year by a wide margin. But hard-line clerics have consistently
blocked his efforts to reform the government. The Washington Post quotes
a senior Bush administration official saying the United States has lost faith
in Mr. Khatami and his allies to deliver on their promises. |
| The EU has adopted a
friendly position with Iran as a pivotal point to the business opportunities
(oil resources) available in the Middle East from the direction of Turkey. For
the EU to benefit financially from this arrangement it needs a stable Iranian
government. |
|
It would appear that a special kind
of terrorism (preoccupied with hatred for Israel) has been hosted and
encouraged from Afghanistan moving North West to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf nations, as well as Egypt as a
pivotal point into North East African nations. This terrorism feeds on a Moslem
religious base inciting militant Islamists (Moslems collectively as a kingdom)
throughout the world.
Although Moslem countries have differences and are
willing to wage war with one another their leaders appear to be united in a
secret agenda to destroy Israel and it's Western values which they see as a
threat to their power base kept in place by manipulation of the people by means
of the Moslem religion. |
| Washington cut ties with Tehran after radical
Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in 1979 and held dozens of people
hostage for 444 days. The United States has tried to engage Iran in official
talks since Mr. Khatami came into office, but Iran has rejected the
offers. |

This section
is a web page that serves as a temporary holder for the most recent news
bulletins. Once there is a sufficient number in a given catagory they are added
as a group to that catagory in the magazine. Therefore, this page should always
be consulted for the latest news. The categories are the same as shown in the
magazine index except for the first two index items which include "Day by Day
with VOA" and this "Extension Page". No index is available for this extension
page. There is a tremendous amount of work adding one or several items per day
to each catagory in the magazine. The Extension Page is therefore a buffer of
the newest news material before it gets added to the various magazine sections.
It is much less labour intensive to prepare these articles as a group
temporarily made availabe in this Extension Page, then form the index, then
populate the magazine sections. The extension page also serves as a buffer
between the end of one month and the beginning of the next. The catagory "Day
by Day with VOA" is an independent news stream populated on a day by day basis
and is therefore the most up to date section of the magazine. The regular
magazine catagories have news items selected on the basis that they represent
various situations which shape the world social order and well being and so
have "linkage" within a catagory with each other. It is these "linked" news
items that appear on this Extension Page.

COMMENT (26-JUN): The challenge for Corporate fiscal
honesty is beginning to grow in American as inherent dishonesty regarding
Corporate fiscal affairs get uncovered. There is a not so obvious contradiction
in Corporate business. Corporations make the "dollar", that is profit or return
on investment, the bottom line of decision making. Ethical or moral issues or
even illegal conduct and humanitarian issues always comes a far second in spite
of image building publicity to the contrary. The Corporate executive is only
rewarded for stock price increases and return on investment as the primary
business goals by which those executives are measured. How it happens typically
does not matter to the investors as they worship this creed of "profit". In
addition, big business can and does require the loyalty and dedication of it's
workers but abandons them the instant that bad or uncompetitive business
decisions express themselves as lower return on investment, drops in market
share, and drops in the value of traded shares. Such conduct comes out of
irresponsible corporate growth and commitment to human issues. This is part of
the dichotomy explained in the commentary in the African Section 4.
Such pressures resulting from these abuses and the reaction of
government and business are the first evolutionary steps towards resolving a
new economy that will gradually yield way to these other values to replace the
creed and practice of corporate "profit". This seems like a remote possibility
but the proper social pressures will cause this end to come about. Only with
such a transformation in the American economy will conditions become right to
form an integrated political/business infrastructure with South and Middle
American countries called the Americas. Such an integration is in the best
interests of all the Americas and will prove to be the means by which the USA
is able with the integration of these other countries and their natural
resources to form a "pocket" of nations capable of existing and surviving in
isolation of most of the rest of the world. Such survival conditions will be
required when political, religious, territory, legal, and trade conflicts
coming out of an EU controlling and manipulative perspective to these issues
results in a schism of principles and concepts between America and countries
lining up with the EU. It will be this "integration" that keeps the USA and
it's allies in the Americas the most powerful world economy and military force
- and that integration also includes Cuba..

Tens of thousands of angry Argentines have staged
another demonstration outside the presidential palace in Buenos Aires.
The latest demonstration came a day after the President, Eduardo
Duhalde, called early elections and on the eve of a summit of regional leaders.
|
It has been almost eight months since
violent protests overthrew the last Argentine Government but still the
demonstrators are on the streets and rather than fading away, they seem to be
getting bigger. But that was only the latest excuse to gather in what has
almost become a weekly ritual, directing their anger at the government for its
handling of the economic crisis which has left millions of Argentines
destitute. This economic collapse is "artificial" as Argentina is fully capable
of producing the goods and services it did prior to this "economic" collapse.
This is the problem with today's economic systems. The situation in Argentina
can spiral and affect all surrounding nations.
It is hard to decide
whether the FARC rebel situation in Colombia or the financial crisis in
Argentina will have the most dramatic impact upon the Americas. In both cases
there is a danger of complete anarchy sweeping from Argentina all the way to
Colombia as a mix of financial and rebel influences. So this month we watch
this situation carefully while expressing the hope that the USA is able to
stabilize these two potential flash points to continent wide anarchy. The
influence of the USA in snuffing out these social disorders will become it's
mark of leadership for the entire continent and the beginning of a special kind
of social integration of all these nations, one that is competitive to the rise
of a paralell EU arrangement on the other side of the ocean. Watch this
section, wait and see.

reputation for corruption and disregard for certain sectors of the population.

after, thereafter they start to starve to death, men, women, and children. This
is highly suspicious.
