ENCOURAGECHANGE.

ENCOURAGECHANGE.: Every one of us is getting older, which is a natural process. Time is constantly moving on, second by second. Nothing can stop it, but what we can do is use our time properly; that is in our hands. Whether we believe in a spiritual tradition or not, we need to use our time meaningfully. If over days, weeks, months and years, we have used our time in a meaningful way – when our last day comes, we'll be happy, we'll have no regrets.

How the Goldman Vampire Squid Just Captured Europe

How the Goldman Vampire Squid Just Captured Europe: By December 2011, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, former vice president of Goldman Sachs Europe, was able to approve a 500 billion euro bailout for European banks without asking anyone's permission. And in January 2012, a permanent rescue funding program called the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) "was passed in the dead of night" with barely even a mention in the press. The ESM imposes an open-ended debt on EU member governments, putting taxpayers on the hook for whatever the ESM's eurocrat overseers demand.?

ECONOMIC RECESSION: SHOULD WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS BE IMPRISONED? – Ben Jacob

ECONOMIC RECESSION: SHOULD WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS BE IMPRISONED? – Ben Jacob: Several high- profile cases of white-collar crime have been in the news recently. Scandals on Wall Street, in the Irish banking system and amongst organizations, like FÁS, have dominated the front pages of newspapers and the schedules of radio programmes and TV chat shows. So what is it about white-collar crime that makes it so newsworthy in comparison to ordinary crime? Sometimes it is partly the sheer scale of operation, but more often than not it is to do with who is involved. People are completely shocked to hear that an affluent business man was involved in crime. This is also the reason that the populace becomes so irate. Why would one feel happy about paying taxes to drive a politician in a limo between two buildings in an airport? Why should the repoman come and reclaim your house when the bank manager has being embezzling funds for the good of his bulging pocket? These offending individuals have been entrusted with huge assets so if it transpires that they have abused their authority to further their own cause, the little guy who loses out won’t be too pleased.?

IPRT hails Government’s action on ending detention of children in St Patrick’s Institution as “historic” | Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT)

IPRT hails Government’s action on ending detention of children in St Patrick’s Institution as “historic” | Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT): “This is a historic day. Over the past 25 years, successive governments have made commitments to ending the imprisonment of children in Ireland, but this is the first time we have seen a concrete plan and a concrete timeline. Given the current pressures on resources, it is extremely significant that the Minister has received support from the Government to proceed with this project, and it is a powerful statement of the Government’s commitment to the rights of children who come into conflict with the law. The message from the Ryan Report was not just about the past but what needs to change for children in the care of the State today, and the detention of children in prison continues to be one of the most glaring failures in how this State cares for children.”?

The Beef Tribunal Report – 1994 – The Story

The Beef Tribunal Report – 1994 – The Story: Finally got my hands on a copy of this report, which has never appeared online. This will be the first portion, which I will be adding to over the coming days and week – the total report runs to over 1,000 pages. I am cleaning each and every page and subjecting it to a rigorous OCR process, meaning it will be convertible into a brand new digital version.
Suffice to say this report has taken considerable time to both obtain and scan, but I believe this is one of the more significant reports in the history of the State?
