Democracy expedited by feminist.
. That all women aspire to be.
. With the Prince accused of a sexual scandal
. The Princess, the 27yr old wife steps up and take the spotlight
. To champion women right
. A time bomb by itself as Women rights gather pace
. A tool by itself, noble as it might be, it's a tool for the proponents of democracy
. Which is none other then, but a tool itself for the capitalist
. To dismantle old boys network of the monarchy .
. Like it or not, money changes everything
. Because as much as it robs, it empowers.
When Equities becomes the bad boy, Forex shines
. As reported for Gulf states
. As Equities lack luster and direction
. And continues to punish with illogical volatility
. Money is withdrawed from Equities to Forex and even Art
. And also keeping the big picture, Infrastructure is calling out loud and clear
. Global recession needs A global infrastructure stimulus
. Infrastructure has always been the ace card for politicians in a down turn
. Only now they need private money
. Thus the PPP connection
. Private, public partnership.

Dubai to invests in UK infrastructure
. Will Arabs in UK get preferential treatment ?
. Will that be part of an unspoken deal ?
. Export surplus countries becomes Cash strapped western countries investors.
. Is there a real transfer of ownership ?
. Does the Investors from middle east and Asia have ownership & control of the assets ?
. Or is it returns without ownership & control. (RWOAC) ?
. Just like the Manchester United deal in Singapore ?
. Selling $1B of preferential share but no say about management decisions
. With $4 trillion in savings ready to be mobilized by the global bankers
. The likes of Goldman and Rothschild,
. Most unlikely, the Non westerners investors will have any say in the asset
. They will get their return but please shut up
. As it's all professionally managed by the Global Bankers
. Who, no doubt, gets huge fees out of it !

. Implemented way after headiness is gone but still gets the go ahead
. Adds to the cost, eg, MRRT and Carbon Tax
. Revenue down, Costs up
. Profit down !

To Solar and alternative energy critcs....in 20 years time, you will be wrong !!

. As long as there is still return, people close one eye
. However, when push comes to shove,
. People will resort to extreme means to survive and rebel.
. China facing a property bubble, netizens discontent ,
. A west that is angry with high Yuan,
. Citizens that value money more than social justice.
. Is a china facing problems.
China authoritarian central power vs Democratic Weibo

Hottest commodity in Macau : Baby Milk Powder
. Why ? Because you can't trust them in mainland China
. Illegal harmful substances are added to milk powder to make them saleable
. Either knowingly or unknowingly that they arebharmful
. But all in the name of profit.
. To make a buck.
. If these adds to GDP
. China is in serious problem.
. Businesses runs on low margin, high volume,
. And cutting corners to save costs.
. Sooner or later, health and safety issues will force costs to go up.
. Take for example, the train that crashed in Hangzhou.
. Baby YueYue,
. Rising costs pertaining to quality will eat into margin
. Many will close shop.

Taking Wedding Picture in faith
. Taking wedding picture years before the wedding and way before there is a Mr Right
. Says a lot about China subculture
. It's a fantasy world.
. As the economy grew rapidly, the desire to succeed not wrong in itself
. But in this consumeristic world preyed upon by media companies
. People want their needs fulfilled now !

Okonjo + Sanusi = Nigeria Success
. There comes a time in a country history
. When men and women come forth
. Men & women that are born for the moment
. I believe this is the season of prosperity for Nigeria

. China has a very huge GDP but its per capita is way near the bottom.
. And the bottom layer of society is peddaling twice as fast just o keep pace.
. Nigeria will probably fall somewhere in that category
