These needs include health, education and welfare. Addressing poverty issues in the various regions particularly populated with high levels of orphaned or abandoned children is being (…)

The financial tsunami now inundating global economies and markets was brought on by imprudent easing of US lending norms and extreme over-leveraging by giant US investment banks, analysts say.
The dotcom bubble burst in 2000 and the collapse of the World Trade Centre, a mighty symbol of US economic and financial prowess in 2001, made Alan Greenspan, the then chief of the US banking regulator, the Federal Reserve, believe that a US recession was a certainty and it had to be staved off. (…)

How can the cause of the global financial crash, the bankrupt G7-US-vassal-states, want to credibly assure the global financial problem to be solved?
The global investor confidence can only be reclaimed if solvent countries such as Russia (repaid its total foreign debt recently) and heavy weights such as China, India and Brazil, in the negotiations carried out.
A global problem can only be solved globally. The sooner this, the arrogant Western high finance recognizes, the better for all (…)

Research in universities across the globe is becoming more and more privatised.
This must be stopped because it will centre power in the hands of a few who will inevitably ask for the payment of very high university fees and will not give access to research which does not support their speculative interests.

The most blatantly unreported reality in the Orwellian World of 2008 is entrenched LYING by commission and omission by Mainstream media, politicians and academics. Yet Humanity seems unable to breach a Hole in the Mainstream Wall of Silence.
There is horribly unjustified mass slaughter (avoidable deaths associated with the 1990-2008 Bush Wars now total 9-11 million; see “9-11 excuse for global genocide. The real 9-11 atrocity: 9-11 million dead in Bush Wars”: ); the biosphere is under (…)
