Senlis Council says: legalize Afghan opium production or face more support for Taliban
The Senlis Council is an international policy think tank with offices in Kabul, London, Paris, Brussels, Ottawa and   more...Rio. The Council’s work encompasses foreign policy, security, development and counter-narcotics policies and aims to provide innovative analysis and proposals within these areas. The extensive programme currently underway in Afghanistan focuses on global policy development in conjunction with field research to investigate the relationships between counter-narcotics, military, and development policies and their consequences on Afghanistan’s reconstruction efforts. Senlis Afghanistan has field offices in the Afghan cities of Lashkar Gah and Kandahar.  less

A Remembrance Day tribute to those that have fallen and to those that still fight. It is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically   more...since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war.  less

Our Saturday night out was to listen to the Surrey based "Vivace Chorus" choir singing Verdi's Requiem, at Guildford Cathedral, Surrey.
The performance was dedicated to the memory of the soldiers   more...who died in the wars ... Verdi's Requiem says:
"grant them eternal rest, Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them"
(well, it was sung in operatic in Latin - and I couldn't understand it, so the programme came in mighty handy!)
As you watch, I ask two things of you:
Please spare a thought for those who gave up their lives for the blessings you now enjoy.
And, on 11th November at 11am, whatever you happen to be doing at the time, please pause for 2 minutes silence in remembrance of those brave men who suffered (and continue to do so even to this day) on your behalf.

A single image, but manipulated in a variety of ways. The shot was one I took this weekend at my brother's house. I used my (freebie) photo editing software to push the image as far as I could. The music   more...is "Hector's Song" by Harry Manx. I think it suits the images just fine!  less

The city of London, Vatican city + Washington DC are 3 independant states within states wich composes the empire of the city. The first is financial control, the the second is religious control and third   more...is military control. Together they make the very unholy trinity.

Many people realize that this mystifying situation, in which an alleged democratic and self-governing nation is actually controlled against the will of the people. Once identified, there appears to be a clear indication that there exists a very powerful and occult organization which plans and directs world affairs.

If you've ever wondered why we can find a guy in a hole in the middle of the dessert but we can't arrest drug lords who earn billions of dollars annually or why the national debt annually gets larger despite the economy doubling or tripling in size, the answer lies here.  less
