The #despots in #China continue supporting the despots in #NorthKorea http://reut.rs/rTcnuR

 

In #Syria, coordinated bombings, #AlQaeda, foreign intervention...that should be enough for the representatives of the #ArabLeague to go home and leave #Assad to run his country as he wishes.

Unfortunately, from what I am seeing in social media, consumerism & yearend hipocracy continues to reign. New tools same ol' farce!

#NKorea's #KimJongIl died because of 'physical and mental strain'...he should ask his people about physical and mental strain!

 

I am shocked, shocked to find that the kid is taking over in the #NKorea monarchy! Shouldn't expect any positive contribution from the #Despots in #China

 

The French campaign to destabilize the UK's financial situation is outrageous! First the French Minister of Economy and now the Governor of its Central Bank. #UK #France http://bit.ly/skRFO8

In #Libya, ministers as women is widely off the mark. Let's hope the courageous women fighting for more have success!

Great, the Russians are talking morality on #Syria...the farce continues!

Amazing to see the Senate Testimony of Jon Corzine, his COO and his CFO, at #MFGlobal who didn't understand the accounts, the details of operations or even where the billions are! Millions in salaries combined for what?

 

In the #LevesonInquiry, a lawyer says that his Opinion is for the client and would expect to be asked before this was disseminated further. What can I say, that I have an opinion but can't show it to anyone?

At the #LevesonInquiry everyone seems to want to gag the statements, as that would cause public debate beforehand. Participants are afraid of public debate and can't handle it too soon! #FreeSpeech

 

The wrong side of history! "Syria's Christians Side with Assad Out of Fear" http://tinyurl.com/d8qyfyg

Today's announcement by the #UK Chancellor of the Exchequer reduces environmental controls and is not welcome!

It is quite disagreeable to see media personalities hide behind the Dowler and McCann families in orger to gag the press! @LevesonInquiry

 

Great to see voters in #Egypt lining up to cast their ballots. The dictators still need to go!

 

All environmental eyes are on Durban, South Africa, where we are experiencing the latest in the never-ending global multilateral meetings looking for agreement on doing rather than talking!

 

Those criticising the receding EU democracy are the same that demand more centralized fiscal controls. http://tinyurl.com/c3vqhad

Very well said, about possible role of #Gaddafi's sons in #Libya transition. "News to Make One Vomit" http://bit.ly/gGqtah

Burman gets $20 billion and China defines its friends. http://bbc.in/isWumW

Bernie Ecclestone lost an opportunity to state that injustice and repression is unacceptable when he said the #Bahrain #F1 cannot go ahead without team support. He says they are concerned about security.

They are going to the UN Security Council to do something in #Syria, so, nothing will happen then. http://bbc.in/lbjPyn

I applaud Arundhati Roy's courage in speaking out! Great writer, weak understanding of Economics. http://bit.ly/lsd0BG

#Yemen President is in #Saudi Arabia for medical treatment. Let us hope he stays with his friends. He will certainly feel at home.

Dictators should not be coddled just because it is good business. Well done Red Bull driver Mark Webber for standing against taking the F1 back to #Bahrain. http://bit.ly/jeURGw

22 years ago, the Chinese goverment massacred its people in Tiananmen Square. Shame! Lest we forget, as they would like us to. http://bit.ly/mo3CkN

FIFA husbanding corruption & FIA coddling the dictators in #Bahrain

Why is it that they proclaim the obvious only when they are ex-leaders? "The global war on drugs has "failed"" http://bbc.in/mucpdd

FIFA's Blatter presents Henry Kissinger as ethics lead. Wasn't K a

it...holding on to the end, like all these despots.

Bad news, Sepp Blatter won his vote to head the Fifa politburo. The only candidate, corruption endemic…all under his mandate. Fifa officials should be ashamed of themselves! Where were governments when they were needed?

Why are the governments so quiet on the FIFA corruption debate. Football receives too many exemptions already, are also they exempt from the laws of corruption and social responsibility as well?

 

Those that are coming down hard on Cate Blanchett should look inside and see what they have done for the environment lately. Hopefully she is above all these 'heroes' and keeps it up. http://bit.ly/iBxVtD

FIFA's Sepp Blatter is the CEO of corruption, he should go!

Why do they keep giving us the news about the corruption at FIFA under the sport section? It is criminality pure and simple!

Good news! "Pressure grows for circus ban on wild animals" When will we realize that we do not have the right to enjoy ourselves at the expense of others, including other species. http://ind.pn/lgfNgc

Cate Blanchett is being criticized for her 'Carbon Cate' advert. I don't agree, anything that gets the message out is good and she should be congratulated. http://ind.pn/jKKnrY

Is it a coincidence that two FIFA officials are suspended, including one candidate for the presidency, and that Sepp Blatter gets off? A clear run for the presidency? http://nyti.ms/lUOd71

¿Es ético ofrecer recompensa a los que rodean los déspotas en #Libya y en #Syria, ofrecer recompensa para su eliminación? Incentivar su salida tiene que ser ético. http://bbc.in/lXbno6

Should we divert a couple of those bombing raids going to #Libya to stop those tanks in #Syria and send them a message, or do we need to wait for the Security Coucil to get its act together? http://bbc.in/mFIcTh

Western countries should be ashamed of themselves training thugs, no matter how much oil they have! http://bit.ly/kvyZxG

Totally agreed: "Georgia must investigate 'excessive use of force' against protesters" http://bit.ly/l3jMDy

Good news. As Sepp Blatter is standing again and eliminating competition, it is good to see that his role is being investigated. There has been too much corruption in his tenure as well. http://bbc.in/kXr3xm

Government of the parties, by the parties and for the parties reigns in Spain. Currently in local elections process, due Sunday, and the electoral regulator has banned citizens from meeting in the street and only allows party meetings. Dictatorship of the parties…they organize the rules amongst themselves, for their own benefit, rules are interpreted by their nominees and they rule against all except themselves. A true partocracy. #spanishrevolution #nolesvotes #nonosvamos

Deliberate blinding cannot be right, even when done by the State &

The fact that Madoff's sons turned him in was more to escape the noose than any Greek tragedy. Some believe that Madoff organized it to let his kids off the hook, sounds credible. http://nyti.ms/kNu0Dz

#Libya's Gadhafi needs to be held to account "ICC to investigate institutionalized gang-rape" http://bit.ly/j9pCFu

#Ianbirrell #paulkagame Now Mr. President that you have committed

Great news, another finger-waiving Gaddafi thug is off the streets of #Libya. Gaddafi's son believed he had a divine right by birth to sit at the throne of power and his people had no rights but the right to obey without question. With him gone we are one useful step closer to peace and democracy in Libya. These thugs should leave power or die, their choice. We need more such steps. http://wapo.st/jmienR

Has anyone seen the $675 million valuation report that NewsCorp is paying for Elizabeth Murdoch's Shine? I would love to see it. http://goo.gl/mCrD4

With all due respect to Elizabeth Murdoch, she is clearly not the best candidate for the NewsCorp board of directors.

http://goo.gl/mCrD4

Great to see some NewsCorp shareholders challenge daddy Rupert for buying his daughter's company and putting her on the board. Good governance requires it. http://goo.gl/mCrD4

Dicen que van a hacer pruebas de estrés a las plantas nucleares europeas. Espero que se hagan mejor que las primeras pruebas de estrés de los bancos europeos.

La enegía nuclear antes no era tan segura como decían y ahora no es tan peligrosa.

Nuclear energy previously was not as safe as they said and now is not as dangerous.

What is surprising is the surprise of many as to the dangers of nuclear power.What do they think Greenpeace has been saying all these years? http://goo.gl/0iM4

Por lo menos los expertos nucleares, todos comprometidos con su sector, están algo más calladitos en favor de sus negocios. El gobierno español se reunió con los expertos, ¿y con el otro lado?

OK, they have complied with their democratic responsabilities; much talk, do nothing! At the end of their annual parliamentary session, Chinese premier calls for political reform. http://goo.gl/o7X1x

Galiano should be fired from his positions and those companies that are severing their relationships with him are showing responsability. Let him justify his next position. http://bit.ly/h3iBKd

Great news, Swiss Freeze Gaddafi Assets. http://bit.ly/fqOUoC

Given that the monarchies seem to be immune in the fight for change at the top in the Middle East, Gaddafi should make himself King to ensure his survival and his son's succession.
