Hearing about captive soldiers is truly a sad and scary thing. 2 years ago the Taliban got a hold of U.S. soldier and posted videos. There is talk regarding “diplomatic discussions” between the Taliban officials and our government officials of the release to Bowe Bergdahl (Idaho National Guard). Yahoo also reports that’s the Taliban wants there prisoners out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for Mr. Bergdahl.

War itself is a horrible thing but when there are American captives it becomes increasingly scary and must be Taken care of. When researching some facts about Prisoners of War it’s brought to my attention of past POW Jessica Lynch. Lynch was captured on March 23rd when parts of her 507th Maintenance Company were overrun near Nasariyah in southern Iraq. Her tank was bombed and they were taken captive. CBS then reports she was beaten, she was unable to shoot anyone due to her gun being jammed. She later then escaped and has become a hero to many people in the United States.

Supporting our military should be a must in this country. If it weren’t for them risking their lives, defending our freedom where would we be today?

WORLD – HEADLINE GRABBERS THIS WEEK

Developments continue to happen across World but only a few hog the lime-light. One such big thing which caught the world by surprise and shock was the statement of Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistani President, while addressing a meeting of retired civil servants of his country, that the creation and nurture of militants and terrorists was by Pakistani rulers to achieve short-term tactical gains. But India, the neighbouring country of Pakistan took his revelation with a pinch of salt as India which bore the brunt of the machinations of Pakistan for years in the form of insurgency to Kashmir and widespread killings and destruction of property is used to such kinds of shedding of crocodile tears. And India is used to the confessions by the rulers of Pakistan followed by sudden volte-face by the leader himself who made the statement by playing innocence that he was misquoted or by the circles in the foreign affairs office. Therefore let us continue to believe that these kinds of statements will continue to pour in in future also, only to be contradicted by the same source the next day.

 

After concluding the visit to Russia, President Obama flew to L’Aquila, Italy to attend the G8 meeting.

 

His visit to Russia is described a grand success. George Walker Bush, the former President of USA knew only the language of muscle flexing hence the post-cold war enmity continued between two powerful nations and with the intrusion of Russian soldiers into Georgia to fight the Georgian militia for liberating South Ossetia from the clutches of Georgia which was successfully accomplished, the two nations came close to a full-scale war.

 

Russia’s offer of reduction of strategic arms reduction by the two countries was rejected by President Bush, his belligerent attitude led to a piling up of strategic weapons by both the nations.

 

With the assumption of power by Obama in White House, a favourable climate was created in the attitude of two nations, their yearning for a lasting solution to the problems nagging them for years. Peace-loving, enterprising, youthful as he is known across the world, his strong desire to “press the reset-button” by establishing a friendly climate for dialogue and finding lasting solutions is really laudable. One such attitude was reflected in his meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the youthful President of Russia.

 

Both of them met, discussed and arrived at amicable solutions in the matter of reduction of strategic arms, permission to USA to carry military flights to Afghanistan across Soviet Territory to fight the Al-quaida-Taliban elements thus to save transit charges and for non-stop discussions in the matters of missile defence, NATO expansion and bilateral trade pacts.

 

Peace-loving nations across the world and Russia and USA in particular can certainly derive happiness and satisfaction for arriving at paving for a congenial atmosphere for a better world in future.

 

On the matter of climate-change going by the turn of developments taking place at L’Aquila, the mountain hill city of Italy, the venue of G8 summit attended by USA, Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Canada, Italy, Japan and Indian Prime Minister ManMohanSingh and Chinese President Hu Jintao (he had to leave the venue in a hurry due to raging ethnic clashes in Urumqui but represented by Dai Binqua) attending as special invitees representing the developing countries it will be foolish to pin much hopes on a favourable outcome. While the developed nations insist on the developing nations to reduce carbon emissions, the developing nations reject those demands by the G8 and puts much blame on the developed nations and demanding in turn to set an example by reducing carbon emissions as they are squarely responsible for the alarming rise of emissions and ozone layer depletion.

 

The blame-game is unlikely to stop here and will have to wait for the Copenhagen summit to find a way out of this impasse.

 

One positive thing which emerged at L’Aquila anyhow is the determination of all nations to fight militancy at any cost, the menace which stares at each nation with its tentacles spread all across the world.

 

Uighur, first came to lime-light just before the days the 29th Olympics ceremony was about to be inaugurated and its celebration across China and all other nations across the world. In the frenzy of festive mood gradually conquering that nation Uighurs, a muslim minority group grew restive and fierce clashes broke-out between them and Han Chinese, the majority community. The embarrassed Chinese regime, before the clashes turning to a major one entered the scene and brutally suppressed it thus avoiding another Tian-an-men -Square. The seeds of rebellion lay dormant among the Uighurs, and last week their pent-up anger like a volcano eruption, broke-out led to bloody clashes between them and the majority Han Chinese. As is natural, the majority reigned supreme, here also  it was on these lines, the minority Uighurs suffered heavy casualties, 150 of them on a single day. Hu Jintao, Chinese President had to cut short his visit to L’ Aquila in Italy to attend G8 summit. As was the previous case, another course of repression may be on the wings. To find a lasting solution to a law and order problem is not to their liking and as long as everything is under their iron fist the problem is simple, quite simple.

Is there something online perhaps a youtube channel or something that covers world news with a minimum spin/bias?

Answer by Starship Pain
Here is the best option. Just watch or read up on various news websites. Dont stick with just one. Watch Fox, CNN, ABC, and the rest. Take in a little bit of info from all of them and make up your own mind from what you have learned. They all tell truths, they all tell lies. Its just up to us to pick out what is right.
I wish there was a news organization that focused on reporting actual news instead of 90% politics all the time.

A Review of the Top Three MLM News Articles

Multi-level marketing – commonly known as MLM – is constantly changing. It is adapting to a world on online sales and the Internet, making it easier for direct sellers to get the word out about their products and business.

It allows them an almost free way to advertise and it provides current information on trends, tips, tricks, and techniques that people in the business use to make their business a success. MLM news is just as important for businesses as anything else because it is here that you will find out about legislation changes, business problems, and new start-up companies.

Three of the best MLM news articles dealing with direct selling issues. One set of articles, ‘The Ten Big Lies of Multi-Level Marketing’, is a detailed series explaining how the business model of most MLM companies is flawed. These articles were originally hosted on the website Pyramid Scheme http://Alert.org, a site dedicated to helping people recognize organizations that are running illegal schemes and other direct selling information.

Unfortunately, this series of articles do not seem to be available unless they are in the archives. If that is the case, there is no search capability and you will have to spend the time to find them. There is also a great deal of information on that website and it is worth your time to peruse what is there.

The second article of the best MLM news is one that is hosted on Quatloos. Entitled ‘Federal Trade Commission’s “Bottom Line About Multi-Level Marketing Plans”‘, this article covers everything you need to know about spotting a bogus selling plan and how to stay away from it. It provides a nice list of facts and points to watch out for when you are researching the company or companies you are interested in getting involved with.

Keep in mind that it takes work to build any business, including a direct marking one, and that anyone promising you that you’ll be on the road to riches when you get your start-up kit really has no idea what they are talking about. The article strongly advises that you research the company thoroughly.

And lastly, another article hosted by Quatloos that focuses on MLM news is the ‘IRS Agent Pleads Guilty in The Tax People Case’. This news write up discusses the case of Thomas Steelman, Sr., a former IRS agent who promoted a bogus direct selling company called The Tax People. Supposedly this company was fabricating home based business deductions in a tax pyramid scheme. In a four year period, Steelman defrauded people out of 0 million dollars.

This is the kind of information anyone that is involved with a direct selling operation needs to keep on top of. By reading MLM news, marketers and customers alike will know which companies are in trouble, which companies are legitimate, and which ones to completely steer clear of. No matter what type of business you are involved in, it is always advisable to do your homework and research everything and anything you can.

Also, remember to be honest in your advertising and marketing. If you fell a product you are selling isn’t working as well as the main company says, do the right thing and warn your customers about it instead of leading them astray. That road leads to many problems.
