Venezuela's Amazing Constitution

Venezuela is very topical at the moment. You'd think it was the embodiment of evil. In fact, it's just the opposite. Venezuela just wants to get on with its own business, but foreign interests really want to get their hands on its natural resources. Fortunately for Venezuela, Hugo Chavez and his team created an amazing Constitution which stated that if the government becomes corrupt and driven by foreign interests, it is able to be reset on order to drive Venezuela with ongoing viability according to the interests of its people. The Florida Marquis explains this well. Listen and enjoy... https://youtu.be/MQHVUaM4UJI

Australia's illegal takeover of Norfolk Island

Australia has shown itself to be a self-interested bully in taking over Norfolk Island. The Norfolk Islanders didn't have debt before the GFC. They may not be real flash, but they're not enslaved. And whilst Australia heeded the call of the World Bank to go into more debt with the stimulus package, Norfolk Island weren't fooled into unnecessary debt which got blown on imported consumer goods anyway!

Australia has precious little to give these hard working, community minded people who clearly don't want Australia walking in and taking over.

As an Australian, I am ashamed of the way our government has treated the sovereign nation of Norfolk Island. We have illegally invaded and taken over governance and implemented our fascist/socialist agenda. Next we'll be exploiting its resources or creating a military base there.

Shame Australia, shame! Give Norfolk Island back to its people.

For more information see http://www.realstewcorp.com/norfolk/. A forum of the Norfolk Islands News is also available at http://www.norfolkonlinenews.com/ForumRetrieve.aspx; but I'm not sure how free this will be as the radio station has been muzzled.

DON'T LET THIS INJUSTICE CONTINUE. SPREAD THE NEWS AND MAKE SOME NOISE IN SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE OF NORFOLK ISLAND.

Iraq's response to Turkey's dealing with IS : "what will happen beyond a war of words".

‘Incursion’: Baghdad demands Turkey withdraw ‘training’ troops from northern Iraq https://www.rt.com/news/324787-turkish-troops-deployed-iraq/

Turkey had been somewhat of a sleeping giant in the consciousness of the west until the past ten years or so. It seems to have gained popularity as a tourist destination and had risen to some prominence add it has for closer with the European Union and global geopolitics have put a spotlight on the region.

It's interesting to see Turkey showing its colours with its alignment with IS. We knew the largely secular state was leaning towards western ways, but always wondered about the religious undercurrents.

Turkey has been in a complex game of supporting IS, and now trading with IS for oil. They have ventured to Mosul without permission in a heavy military convoy to do so.

I don't expect the USA to say much about this given its covert support, and even sponsorship, for IS. Russia will no doubt encourage a firm response. The question is "what will happen beyond a war of words".

The players begins the scenes are becoming clearer stone progresses. A more serious war may be developing as rhetoric becomes more direct and confrontational. The is little choice but to do so when smiling thugs are trying to Rob your house whilst making polite conversation.

Watch this space. Things are likely to heat up.
