South Asia Calling (Article) - 11/3/2016 6:52:56 AM
Thank you for the wonderful article describing the situation in the South Asian subcontinent so very well. I have longtime friends from the region who are of Zoroastrian, Hindu, Christian, Muslim (both Shiite and Sunni) and Sikh. While their religions differ greatly they all have the same cultural background altered by long colonialism where they all speak and write British English yet retain their centuries-old caste culturalism as well. These people have a hunger for education and technological advancement unknown in the United States.
You are so right that what has passed for democracy and communism is really governments now largely controlled by capitalistic influence from major business enterprises. The "Mafia," if you will. Back in those days, 40 years ago, we discussed how Third World countries would "leapfrog" over industrialization to a First World high-tech society. That is happening at a rapid rate and the economies of China and India are leaving Japan and the United States in the dust. Proving that our predictions were correct.
I just saw a documentary by Leonardo DiCaprio showing how the United States utility industry has legally and legislatively tied the hands of solar power development of United States. When he went to India, DiCaprio saw an entirely different story. Not only are grassroots solar utilities cropping up in many villages without electrical power, the government of India is actively promoting and developing large-scale solar power sources. The future use of coal is untenable for the population and nuclear is a very bad option.

So now we know how Democracy works.
David has made a good move by resigning I have no doubts that he will be back soon.
Germany is right allowing the things to quieten down.
Rest of the EU should wait before asking UK to speed up Article 50.
They still have the three musketeer attitude…how dare do you do this to us kind of attitude. Instead of finding out why this has happened they want revenge against a democracy...knee jerk..be patient you will save a lot of damage in the making now.
UK should now move at a snail’s pace and introspect thoroughly and put their views constructively.
UK has to be intact come what way we will weather the storm together. There is no need for rest of the world to stick the knife in.
I have said it in my article . ‘We are nearly there’ that UK is rightfully emerging to take its place as a leading nation on the Planet Earth. This is the first test of the strength and resolve to do better and be independent.
Who knows we might even go back to the cage called EU and join the other 26 with our heads held high with better terms but this time on our own terms? They should also weigh up the true worth of UK within or without the EU. If UK goes there will be others within a very short span of time. Mr Juncker you are being warned.Say your words carefully.You do not own EU and if EU is a democracy you will have to follow the rules of democratically negotiated exit in every way again a test of your maturity.
Just wait for next two months and see what the destiny has marked out a new path but a path of progress.
The real Earthquakes are still in the making all winded, locked and ready to roll out.
Regards & God Bless

Thank you Ronald. I agree the real message gets shrouded but there is a reason why I had to write like as it is.
Corruption is highly visible in the economic world of the whole of Africa.THe ECTN as we call it is nothing new however this is the path and only path that will steer Africa towards a higher growth once the true revenues are generated via this trade facilitation process.The Banking and the MNCs activities will be monitored on one wavelength.It may sound very commercial but commerce ( benevolent capitalism) it is that will take the humanity to safety.The Health and the Education infrastructure will come up faster than expected.
The second part is a hidden prophecy yet to materialise in its true sense. Mahatma Gandhi may or may not have had the vision to phathom how the new generations of Humanity will evolve but the focal point is 'Lust Greed and Anger'v/s Non Violence and the the Internet is beginning to take control of Humanity in a very distinctive way.This is just the beginning and no knowledge will be hidden from the thinking open eyes of the knowers of this world.
I will not say anything more for now.
Regards and God Bless

A very good concept and understanding of where the world is headed, even though most people don't have a clue. I'm with you 100% on following the path of nonviolence and benevolence towards everyone while taking money and power out of the equation.
Unfortunately, the opening paragraph about cargo tracking makes it read like a commercial. It might be better to place it at the end and set it off as a concept that you have to help improve trade… Not a reality to buy.

Some very astute observations. A fellow writer, Ed Phillips, here has predicted that if the trend between the diverging rich and poor continues, there will be a civil war that he is trying to avert similar to your plea. You are very right that the poor are much better off than the poor of the Great Depression or the displaced of World War II. And they are able to absorb much more scarcity than one could imagine because they have developed strategies for coping and surviving under the worst of conditions.
When you mentioned the long history of British democracy, I was thinking of the signing of the Magna Carta in I believe, 1056, greatly limiting the power of the King.
Utopia is right around the corner. There is enough for everyone, especially if we stop over populating like rabbits without a predator to pick us off. All we have to do is, "get along." I think most people are ready to do that and share the wealth and prosperity rather than be greedy and try to hoard. There's no proof that being rich ever made anyone happy.
