<div style="text-align: center;">
World Governance has been tried to be implemented before world War 1; and before World war 2. They used the Russian people, then they used the Germans twice, they were not successful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When people had their heydays, Globalization was implemented, which is half way to World governance. Globalization means back to slavery as Plutarchy reigns. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After world war 2 they worked to get USA into their pockets, which they have achieved easily. They just had to utter the words holocaust, anti-Semitism, socialism or communism and the poorest dummy was shaking in his boots and wanted to be part of this great democracy where everybody was equal. Everybody was busy enjoying all materialism could provide, nobody asked where are we going, making money was Number one. Suddenly the hammer came down, Globalisation hijacked and destroyed workplaces in the USA, Europe and Australia. Plutarchy does not look after the people of any country they always go for the cheapest workforce. They are not interested in the welfare of the people. They are interested only in might and money. Yesterday, I looked at a simple packet of biscuits, it said Made in China. They have changed fundamental laws, without a peep from the population. Fighting against terror keeps the people chained, it was such a fantastic idea, it also made and still makes a mint for some! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Destroy the middle east, Africa, put puppets into Governments like in Europe and USA. What else is cooking in these addled, greedy brains?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
World politics is vile always has been; which means it is morally bad and wicked! From time to time it crashes, and for the people all seems hunky dory until …it’s The perpetum mobile of our being.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will never be something perfect, capitalism, socialism and other isms, there are always some which exploits a system. With people nothing can work to perfection. So we muddle on as we always have. I am not unhappy, I am only observing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">TextTs</div>

A disaster like Fukushima must not be further reported by the western<br />
mainstream media , owned by the psychopathic oligarchy. They do not want you to know about it. Close your eyes and all is well.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 18px;">Chernobyl’s reactor No. 4 in Ukraine suffered several explosions, blew apart and burned for 40 days, sending clouds of radioactive materials high into the atmosphere, and spreading fallout across the whole of the Northern Hemisphere — depositing cesium-137 in Minnesota’s milk.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; max-width: 560px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Fukushima-Daiichi came 25 years later.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 10px; max-width: 560px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Contamination of soil, vegetation and water is so widespread in Japan that evacuating all the at-risk populations could collapse the economy, much as Chernobyl did to the former Soviet Union. For this reason, the Japanese government standard for decontaminating soil there is far less stringent than the standard used in Ukraine after Chernobyl.</div>
<br />
Yes, what can we do? There are still many, non informed people who advocate more Nuclear Power Plants. Where does stupidity end? Probably as long as it makes a lot of money it never does? Perhaps one day people must eat the money because their might be no food around anymore. Or evolution makes a turn to adapt life on earth to nuclear fallout, if earth still exists. Just as well we will never know,<br />

"The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity - much less dissent.<br />
"Of course, it is possible for any citizen with time to spare, and a canny eye, to work out what is actually going on, but for the many there is not time, and the network news is the only news even though it may not be news at all but only a series of flashing fictions..."<br />

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." : Mark Twain.

Mount Warning is dominating the beautiful rural area of the Tweed Valley.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The name Murwillumbah derives from an Aboriginal word meaning "camping place" – from Murrie, meaning "aboriginal people", Wolli, "a camp"; and Bab, "the place of". Nearby Mount Warning and its attendant national park are known as Wollumbin, meaning "Cloud Catcher", in the Bundjalung language.</div>

Murwillumbah is a town in far north-eastern New South Wales, Australia, in the Tweed Shire, on the Tweed River, 848 km north-east of Sydney, 13 km south of the Queensland border and 132 km south of Brisbane.</div>

Murwillumbah, a few snippets from time passed.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Originally the area was home to the indigenous Bundjalung tribe.<br />
<br />
European settlement came in the latter 19th century, with the name Murwillumbah was the aboriginal name of the tribal lands between what is now the Tweed and Rous Rivers.<br />
<br />
The first commercial maritime vessel navigated the Tweed River in 1868 and the cultivation of sugar cane and the surveying of the town soon followed.<br />

<br />
<br />
Shortly before the turn of the century Murwillumbah became the terminus for the NSW North Coast railway line.<br />
<br />
In 1907 most of the town’s business district was razed by a devastating fire.<br />
<br />
But typical of the Australian country people’s resilience, the town was rebuilt with many fine buildings from that period still in evidence today.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Stormy weather - In 1954 Murwillumbah faced devastation once again as the worst flood in its history inundated the business district and low lying areas around the town.<br />
<br />
Water levels reached the awnings of many businesses in Main Street. In 1956 the town was again awash with another major flood, a scene repeated in 1974. Since then levee walls and banks have been constructed to lessen nature’s onslaught.<br />

Hello and good bye, that is life in politics, it might be nothing but a 4 year long term, good or bad after a while all is forgotten.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not impressed with this media made women’s movement against Mr. Trump, President elect. It is not important if I like him or not, it is not the issue here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Women should be conciliatory, peacemakers, not harridans on a warpath. They are out for the kill just like their heroine Miss Clinton was. They should know, that democracy has spoken and all their tantrums won’t reverse it. They must be very ignorant of politics not to recognize the puppet masters behind the scene. Let these women do the dirty work for us, and they do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If this march was for women’s and earth's issues they should have marched a long time ago and every year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They did not march against all the miss deeds the outgoing politicians did. They did not march to stop the bullets and the bombs, they did not march for all the dead and destruction, for all the dead women and children, all these wars have caused. They did not march for all the destruction of ancient cities and looted treasures. No, they march for their own hypocrisy, with little pink hats like they were performing on a stage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are certainly not marching to better women’s life, they should have done that every year, no matter who holds the reigns in Government.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All these performers live in glasshouses and love to hear themselves speak. It seems they even believe their own drivel. Ts</div>

"From the book;" tell me the stories about India. The names you have told me so many times. Tell me about being taken by bearers to see the circus, carried high above their heads with the way lit by lanterns. And the woman with her basket of coloured glass bangles, and how they would be broken eventually.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tell me about your mother, sad and silent with silver bells on her ankles. Tell me about the nights you would get into bed with your sister when the two of you were sent away. Tell me the stories that were told to you. The brothers who eat their sister after discovering the sweetness of her blood, the reeds that whisper her name. Tell me the stories again. I promise I will remember.</div>

The British Raj , literally, "rule" was the rule of the British Crown in the Indian subcontinent between 1858 and 1947. The rule is also called Crown rule in India, The region under British control was commonly called India in contemporaneous usage, and included areas directly administered by the United Kingdom, which were collectively called British India, and those ruled by indigenous rulers, but under British tutelage and called the princely states. The resulting political union was also called the Indian Empire and after 1876 issued passports under that name. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This system of governance was instituted on 28 June 1858, when, after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the rule of the British East India Company was transferred to the Crown in the person of Queen Victoria (who, in 1876, was proclaimed Empress of India). As a state, the British Empire in India functioned as if it saw itself as the guardian of a system of connected markets maintained by means of military power, business legislation and monetary management. It lasted until 1947, when the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two sovereign dominion states: the Dominion of India (later the Republic of India) and the Dominion of Pakistan.</div>

Summers are hot and may be very dry. the danger of fire is high. The smallest spark, be it from nature through lightening or other, man made causes, may start a disasterous fire. It is a time to be alert. I always get a bit anxious when I smell smoke, or the valley is obscured by smoke. Fortunately our area here had only once a fire threat in all the years we have lived here. I remember some houses had to be evacuated, people left with their pets and a suitcase. There was some damage but all houses were safe, as the fire brigade and its volunteers were fast and did a lot of hard work extinguishing the flames. It was scary, the air was hot and thick with smoke.</div>

Fire, is part of us since our beginning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fire a chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Depending on the substances, impurities outside, the colour of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fire is an important process that affects ecological systems around the globe. The positive effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining various ecological systems. Fire has been used by humans for cooking, generating heat, light, signaling, and propulsion purposes. The negative effects of fire include damage to life and property, atmospheric pollution, and water contamination. If fire removes protective vegetation, heavy rainfall may lead to an increase in soil erosion by water. When vegetation is burned, its nitrogen is released into the atmosphere. Potassium and phosphorus remain in the ash and are quickly recycled into the soil. Loss of nitrogen caused by a fire produces a long-term reduction in the fertility of the soil, which only slowly recovers as nitrogen is "fixed" from the atmosphere by lightning and by leguminous plants.</div>

They always do when the big shots and their handmaidens approve of something which will in the end just benefit the ones who have instigated it, which is not even 1% of the population.<br />
The people believed all the lies.<br />
Hallelujah they sang, peace upon us all. No more wars. wonderful, rich, good times ahead. We all will be prosperous, all nations will flourish.<br />
All lies, helped and implemented by most governments in the hands of corporatism, the nastiest, headed by sociopaths and psychopaths. These people are very dangerous, they want it all, always. They work behind the scene to achieve and succeed. They instigate all wars for their own profits. They do not care for the well being of nations, they care only for themselves and their greed for might and money.<br />
<br />
Women and men have worked hard over centuries for a decent living, decent working conditions, decent laws; schools, universities, medical, all affordable to the common people.With the help of lawless and weak governments, Corporations dismantled laws which protected the money market, work, etc.Central banks were privatised and are now owned by the Rothschild family. Governments must pay interest to these private bank if they borrow money. Countries are in debt, Moneys, gold, which belongs to the people is stolen from them to make the Rothchild's the richest of this world. Terror and other means have been implemented to cow the people. So many lies, all lies; Hallelujah.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><br />Ts<br /><br /><br /> <br />

.... unscrupulous governments allow unscrupulous corporations destroy the land and water for ever, with short term Coal seam mining.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">Coal seam gas (CSG) mining is an invasive form of unconventional gas mining. It usually involves tens of thousands of gas wells, with roads, pipelines, compressor stations, wastewater dams, and other infrastructure. A CSG project can spread across hundreds of thousands of hectares of land.</span></span><br />
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">What are the risks?</span></span><br />
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">There have been numerous risks and problems identified with invasive CSG gasfields. These include encroachment on good farming land, disruption of other land uses and industries, clearing of bushland, air pollution, contamination or depletion of ground or surface water, pollution of waterways, health impacts on workers and nearby residents, and damage to biodiversity.</span></span><br />

<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">How is coal seam gas extracted?</span></span><br />
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">Coal seam gas is extracted by drilling a well vertically through rock strata until reaching the coal seam, at which point the well may also be drilled out horizontally to increase access to the methane gas. Coal seams contain both water and gas. During coal seam gas operations the water must be pumped out of the coal seam to lower the pressure and allow the gas to flow to the surface.</span></span><br />
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">Hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as fracking is used to stimulate and accelerate the flow of coal seam gas. The process involves high pressured injection of sand, water and chemicals into the coal seam gas well. The injection causes fractures in the coal seam allowing the gas to flow to the surface of the well.</span></span><br />
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">There are significant concerns associated with hydraulic fracturing including the potential to contaminate water sources and cause earthquakes. A report by the Committee for Economic Development of Australia[1] said: "In addition to concerns over contamination of aquifers from the chemicals added to fracking fluid, issues have also been raised about contamination of water supplies from fugitive gas after fracking, and seismic activity and tremors associated with the drilling and fracking process".</span></span><br />
<span face=""open sans" , sans-serif"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 18px; line-height: 26px;">Fracking has been used during coal seam gas operations in both Queensland and New South Wales.</span></span><br />

A grazing property in the Northern Rivers.<br />
<br />
From my diary “Under a hotter sun”.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
The paddock;<br />
We walked down to the river flats. All five of us shouldered hoes and bush knives.<br />
We had the task to eradicate thistles, rushes and more weeds that had the tendency to choke the grass.<br />
Thistles grew in abundance. They were never in jeopardy by wild swinging hoes and bush knives by a bunch of determined people declaring war to innocent weeds. Our friend Reg said, where thistles grow the soil is very fertile. What I thought was that Reg just wanted to console us, when he saw the task we had ahead of us.<br />

While we hacked and slashed at the big whoppers, my eyes strayed to the riverbank. The water dark and serene. Tiny flower petals fell gracefully and settled on the water highlighted by the odd sun ray penetrating the thick vegetation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The heat, the buzz of insects, the monotonous task soon led me into a dazed dreaming.</div>

children with delicate limbs, followed, happily chatting and laughing .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They stopped in their track when they saw me. Their hands with long slim fingers flew up and waved. A very old woman gazed at me; fathomless, black eyes met mine.</div>

The earth stood still, when she reached out and handed me a small woven dilly bag. I hesitated to take it. I had nothing to give her in return. She quietly pressed the gift into my hands a tiny smile on her lips.<br />
My fingers curled around the small bag, felt the exquisite work of the woven fibres.<br />

The chatter and laughter resumed, faded, far away the last tinkle of a child’s laughter died.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My hands hung empty, the fingers still curled around nothing. I felt bereft. The hoe left laying on top of wilting, silvery purple flowers.<br />
The world returned to its endless chores. The buzz and hum of insects, the twitter of a bird, the flap of a wing, and the silent pursuit of underground creatures.<br />

The heat continued its onslaught; sun rays radiated glittering stars into the sky.<br />
Sweat trickled from my hot brow, pale rivulets on my dusty face.<br />
I dried my moist face with my sunhat, blinked into the shimmering heat. I adjusted my sunglasses that had carelessly fallen to the ground and looked around to my family; they were busy at their task.<br />

Pigs and hens love to be outside to forage and enjoy the sun. Poor animals, which are always restrained and kept inside and are not allowed to roam, enjoy the outside, an animal's normal way of life.<br />

<br />
I gazed up to this immensely blue sky; swatted lethargically at flies and my spirits vanished when I looked at this sea of purple. The hoes went whack, whack and the purple heads fell to their grave. Their dry, prickly heads hold also trillions of seeds for next years crop. I shuddered when I thought of it.<br />

I am on my way to look for Susi, the orphan wallabi which we took care of as it lost its Mum earlier on. She had an accident with a car.<br />
<br />

<br />
The girls had enough and vanished, drawn to the cool, dark river that beckoned and promised relief from the heat and monotonous work. I listened to their noisy splashes.<br />
Peter and I plod on, whack, whack slash one more purple thistle gone.<br />

Kaneki, a rescue Cockatoo. One day a few wild cockatoos came and visited him. With his funny walk he went towards them and said:" Hello, hello". The other cockatoos, I guess, thought, he was crazy. It was rally funny<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">How extremely blasé and obsessed has our society become with Designer merchandise. We are supposed to wear the right shoes, dresses and all the rightly named accessories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Without thinking nations have become billboards for Nike, Pike, Sike, Like and whatever all these names mean or the merchandise produced behind it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The name cults go much further. Simple everyday day tap ware must have the right name. I must laugh when they show a home and the owner describes proudly a tap in all its glory as a Vola 131. I am not disputing that the Vola 131 is an extremely, beautiful and handsome tap, and had its birth I think in Scandinavia in the 1950s 60s, who cares. I am amazed that people have come so far in the 21st century to be proud to have a branded tap in their bathroom or kitchen.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> We are not just happy anymore, that we have water hot and cold and all shades in between to come out of a tap. No, this is certainly not enough for many. They need the glory of branded tap ware. A showerhead made by Gucci. The bathtub tried first by Prada and a toilet straight out of the designer guild of Mr. Crapper.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dust; </span>Yvonne Adhiambo Owour; Africa, Kenya comes alive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Civilisations of Ancient Iraq;</span> Benjamin R. Foster; Karen Polinger Foster.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How dare our modern, western civilisation go in there and destroy this ancient world. They did with impunity calling it a cake walk, such barbarians.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A most dangerous book;</span> Christopher B. Krebs. Tacitus's Germania from the Roman Empire to the Third Reich. It is said that history is always written by the victor powers.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How to manage your slaves; </span>Marcus Sidonius Falx with Jerry Toner. Slavery was a core institution in the Roman world. It almost never occurred to anyone, that slavery might be dispensed with or that it was morally reprehensible. If this would have been published 2000 years ago it would have topped the management charts. Are today's "wage slaves" really so much different? How different are we from the Romans?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dark side of Love; </span>Rafik Schami. Above St.Paul's Chapel in Damascus, a body hangs in a basket over the city wall...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Towers of Samarkand; </span>James Heneage. ...torn away from all he loves, Names like Tamerlane, Mongolia, Constantinople, the world in the 14th century.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Drowning Lesson;</span> Jane Shemilt; I am in yesterday's clothes...a year on Emma remains haunted....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Stylist's guide to NYC; </span>Sibella Court. Probably THE Eden for unusual merchandise. Haberdashery; oddities and Curiosities; Kitchen and Table Paraphernalia, and more and more, what does exist is available. </div>

In the 1870s, New Yorks Department stores started to display Christmas cheer.<br />
The elaborate displays were loved and appreciated by young and old, waiting with anticipation for the unveiling of Christmas window displays. Many department stores have been well-known for their impressive Christmas window spectacles for generations. The availability of large sheets of plate glass in the nineteenth century led to the concept of using department store windows to attractively display the store's merchandise.<br />

I have 4 large Paperbark/Melaleuca trees growing around my house. Some more are located in my bush garden. The trees are in full flower again and the Lorikeets come in swarms to feed on the nectar of the flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At night, the bats gorge themselves on the flowers. The noise, the screeching of the lorikeets and at night the squabbling of the bats, each one wants the best place. WONDERFUL NATURE.</div>
