offsite link China?s Climate Charade: A Green Fa?ade for Economic Supremacy Wed May 07, 2025 07:00 | Tilak Doshi
China's claim to 'climate leadership' is a geopolitical manoeuvre to counter Trump's narrative, not a pledge of emissions cuts, says Dr Tilak Doshi. Expecting China to join the West's economic self-sabotage is delusional.

You have voted wrong, vote again please...

category international | miscellaneous | opinion/analysis author Friday December 12, 2008 20:29author by Ronoc Report this post to the editors

So you have voted incorrect, you must vote again. So the present Taoiseach tells us.

You said No or Yes, but the majority by a margin decided No. But as European treatys as times gone, No is not enough. You must vote until you give the correct the answer. The answer being the one that benefits those in Power, which generally is Yes because that will create the big jobs that those that be in power crave. "When the power of love overcomes the love of Power, the world will know Peace"... ? . Voting Yes will give it all away, No will retain the limited right for the people. As we know already, not so much power is retained by the people. Why give more to the rich who hide behind walls and in their mansions who provide us with guns and bombs to destroy our brothers and sisters while they make profits. The governments want to bail out the banks while they steal your house. DEMOCRACY??? Where is it??

de⋅moc⋅ra⋅cy   /dɪˈmɒkrəsi/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [di-mok-ruh-see] Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun, plural -cies.
1. government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.
2. a state having such a form of government: The United States? and Canada? are democracies.
3. a state of society characterized by formal equality of rights and privileges.
4. political or social equality; democratic spirit.
5. the common people of a community as distinguished from any privileged class; the common people with respect to their political power

Do you see it?
Politicians will sell your rights to climb the ladder, like many a man. Only to know when they are at the top the same is done to them. The world is unjust and we must make a change however we can. Keep your rights, your freedom and be in peace with all... Power to the People
