Gates & Buffett: Fathers Of Millions
The Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation will ultimately receive all of Warren Buffett's billions. That combination will add up to well over $ 100 billion in assets.Their main focus will probably continue to be Africa.How many millions of Africans has Bill and Warren constructively fathered through their charity work? Have any of the blacks named their children Bill or Melinda or Warren ? Lately it seems that Bill's and Warren's wealth is growing faster than population and charities in Africa. That puts the foundation in a precarious position of losing write offs. Lose write off's and then lose foundation protection from the tax man. Bill and Warren need bodies ASAP.I wonder. Will the future recipients of Bill and Warren largesse be required to do service to Bill and Warren in the form of personal body guards and/or troops? The foundation has laid a strong foundation for such a loyality based on money. Looks like a good way to get into politics with muscle. Better than attorneys.

Suppose Trump Is Tied To Russia
Suppose Trump enlisted Russia's help in defeating Clinton.Who's the real loser? China is the real loser.China would be flanked by two super powers with enough fire potential to put a dent into the 1.4 billion population. Because that's the real threat to the world---China's rising middle class. They are munching through the planet. Not even their government can stop the Chinese from their next meal.China's gambit into the South China Sea is the first signs that mainland China's crib can't hold the new borns.Of course America created China's middle class. We consume approximately 25% of the worlds GDP but are only a tiny fraction of the head count on the planet. So we are a pig with a different snout.The real losers have been the hapless animals and their living space that have been killed and cut and plowed under for mans vanity.

Blackstone And Uganda Dams: Ebola Hope
Blackstone Group LP raises money from wealthy individuals.It invests in most anything.Uganda has some of the last untouched jungles on the planet.Blackstone contacts Uganda government reps and offers its services. I.E. We got money what do you want? Uganda says how about funding a dam project? We need electricity.We will donate the property.You arrange financing. When electricity flows we will pay you back with interest.Blackstone in far away New York nods yes and pushes some input keys on a computer . Voila! Out comes a fully detailed agreement. Work starts and the Ugandan jungle is partially demolished by huge earth moving equipment.Animals and fish are dislocated forever. Blackstone in far away New York through the alchemy of money has created wealth for partners at the expense of serenity and beauty in the jungle.Recently Ebola reached U.S. shores. It's a kind of revenge.The western backed help to African nations with antibiotics created over population on the African continent.Those alchemical people need food. That's how Ebola crept into the population.The alchemical people ate mammals that they should not have.Hence Ebola.It's a start.

Ebola Virus Directly Challenges African Exploitation
Gorillas in the mist or malls with ample parking? Mother nature and her Ebola virus says she wants Africa to keep her dress on. Mainly China is trying to rape Africa. China long ago went through her own natural resources and replaced those areas with humans. Approximately 1.25 billion humans.Bad trade.China started out looking somewhat like Africa. But not any more.What face does nature show to China and all others who would enter her Africa's "Heart of Darkness'? It's the fruit bat.The Ebola Virus, named for a river that runs through Zaire and the Democratic Republic Of The Congo, resides in a dormant state in the blood of the fruit bat. When the bat eats fruit it contaminates the fruit. When a primate comes a long and finishes eating the fruit then the chimp or gorilla contacts the Ebola Virus. Enter the human. Because of the exponential population growth and accompanying malnutrition humans eat "bush meat". whether it be primates, a quasi-cannibalism,or other small mammals. Those mammals , some of them, have contacted the fruit bats Ebola Virus and so it goes.Hopefully the Chinese and other persona non grata like animal poachers and other "developers "will stay out of Africa with the fruit bats help.

Boko Haram: Pros And Con
As the saying goes, " It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good." Boko Haram translates " no western education".So that would preclude a Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Beyonce, Gloria Steinem, Michelle Obama or Barbara Boxer ad nauseum from being raised in Nigeria.So that's pro for Boko Haram.But Boka Haram uses western educated enabled weaponry to kill and maime. So BH is lying about being true Luddites and that's a con.BH attacks western backed natural resource extracors form their country. The oil and mining companies polute the land. So BH work like that is a pro for environmentalists philosophy. BH is against the corrupt government of Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan. This pres supports an oligarchy to the detriment of his lands and peoples.If Bill Clinton were black he would be a Goodluck Jonathan So BH deserves a pro for opposing Goodluck.If Boko Haram prevails and takes over Nigeria. The world should honor the BH philosophy of no western educated institutions or products in Nigeria.To that end there should be an embargo of all antibiotics to that country. And that would answer broad objections on both sides of the clash of civilizations.

Africa Before. China After.
Man marches on. Before there were places like Africa all over the planet. Now settlements like China increasingly take their place.
Last week on September 6, The Yangtze River turned a bright red near an industrial city. It's not the first time. This has happened before. Officials suspect illegal dumping of chemicals.The river is the longest in Asia. It's the third longest in the world. The Yangtze basin supports half of China's crop production. River dolphins have gone extinct. Fish kills have multiplied.
There are about a billion three Chinese. There are only twelve hundred Pandas in the wild. Endangered animals, toxins and heavy metals have been found in Chinese medicines.
Now China mines in Africa. Now China logs in Africa.
Hopefully the Yangtze will take revenge and deliver an unstoppable lethal pandemic to this filthy country.

Bill Gates is Seriously Naive
Bill Gates was interviewed by Charlie Rose last night for one hour. He basically said the same thing in many different ways for the entire hour. Is he autistic? But that's beside the point. What he said and continued to maintain was,"Healthier families in Africa are the best way to limit population growth on that continent."
Say what? The man is seriously naive. It's this way Bill. Stop feeding and helping people who wont limit their population. Otherwise your problem just gets bigger and the people you are trying to help just keep getting worse off.

African Consumerism: Supermarkets in the Mist
The Wall Street Journal was gushing about the prospects for a consumerism launch in Africa. The subtitle reads" As Disposable Incomes Continue to Climb, Multinationals Shift Focus From Resources [extraction] to Retail". Gee , what could possibly go wrong? Well, how about the continent slowly turns into a Haiti look- alike ? Maybe add supermarkets in the mist without a janitor to pick up in the parking lots. Multiplex theaters that feature R-rated films starring rappers and pimps. Huge freeways along side national parks and wildlife preserves. Establishing welfare roles to cement central power by politicians. African states able to step up in class of arms purchases. In short, it will look more like the West which is not necessarily a good thing.

A Possibly Inconvenient Question For Bill & Melinda Gates
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has released figures boasting that their disease prevention measures in Africa have saved approximately 7 million lives so far. Sounds like good news. But now that the lives have been saved, now come other questions. I.E. What have the saved lives been saved for?What are their prospects? How will they eat? How will they work? How will they be shelterd? What will we do with their children who Bill and Melinda will presumbably save also?
Have Bill and Melinda thought through the whole process of creation which includes maintenance and death?I suspect no.
"Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread".

Madonna & Missed Opportunity At Live Earth
Why was there no talk about human overpopulation at the Live Earth venues? The rock stars and politicos only addressed global warming. But global warming is only an effect of the problem. The cause of global warming,rampant extinctions and other scourages is the consumer habits of the overpopulated human species. Hundreds of millions of people with obviously nothing better to do were listening. These are some of the ones who should have less children. What a missed opportunity.
Madonna should have been the keynote speaker about human overpopulation. She could have spoken like this, "You all know me. I have had sex with most all kinds of people. Here's a partial list: NBA numbskulls, Puerto Rican greasers, trembling lilly-white choir boys, boisterous bisexuals, lesbian groupies etc. But I only have 2 children. Are you listening Africa and Asia? No more of 3-10 children per breeding female. Hey, you would be able to buy and listen to my records with the extra money and time."

"Vanity Fair", Graydon Carter, Bono & Africa.
The urbane, effete meets the naive, gritty. The topic is the lost peoples of Africa.
Graydon Carter, the polished, cynical editor of "Vanity Fair" will yield his duties onetime to Bono. Bono is the crusading rock star who has recently discovered the woes of Africa. He will do a guest editing project highlighting those problems and his solutions in an upcoming edition of the magazine.
It appears that Mr. Carter would like to finesse this project to someone who eagerly embraces the challenge. Also, it's a cinch that Carter's staff would not get the circulation boost that Bono might give. I believe that both Carter and Bono mean well. But as the saying goes, " The road to perdition is paved with good intentions".
Simply, Bono's answer to Africa's problem is more of the same, I.E. an industrialization of Africa and massive amounts of aid that only serve to addict to dependancy people who need something else. Africa is different. It's peoples have in large part rejected the western civilization's economic model. The aid that has been indiscriminately despensed to African nations this past 40 years ( amounts to app. $600 billion in todays dollars) has been gobbled up or misused by corrupt governments. The diseases that ravage the African continent have only gotten worse. Of these scourges, malnutrition is the biggest killer. Overpopulation in dry-land ecosystems is the reason.
Africa's salvation lies in an African model not a western civilization model. Africa should be conserved and it's peoples should be the stewards. In this pursuit the west could help by promoting conservation, family planning and tourism

Africa: Tourists Like It Natural
Increasing scientific evidence points to a significant migration out of Africa about 50,000 years ago. They were homo sapiens. The parts of the earth that they populated were never the same. Species of flora and fauna became extinct because of man's ability with tools. The high-technology that followed made the original relationship of man and his earth almost unrecognizable. Add to that, laws, politics, religion and other human alchemical social schemes and we end up with a neurotic primate euphemistically described as modern man. We have too much civilization.
According to Madrid-based World Tourism Organization, Africa led all other nations in 2006 in attracting tourists. African tourism jumped 8.1%. In contrast, the U.S. saw a 2% increase in the same period. The reasons that the tourists gave for picking an African destination included primarily the natural geography, wildlife and the pace of life. Many tourists said or paraphrased, " It's like going home".
The New World in many respects has not improved on the original natural landscape and it's wildlife. Africa should mostly be left alone. It's highest and best use is to be a conserved natural place that is witness to what was.
