‘Best Lives Of Women’Survey Results.
A survey conducted on International Women’s day is revealing as it blows away some myths and explains that satisfaction with Life is not related to material comforts.
Where the West feels its Statistics are not comfortable for them especially against their illusion of grandeur ,they go to lengths to justify their record by calling the Countries names!
Some findings are really Weird and confusing.
Women seem to have the Best of Life in New Zealand.
But Women in the Middle East are most satisfied with their Health.
The West can not accept this,
The explanation is ‘ but that could be because health care access in those countries is lower across the board, so sickness is equal-opportunity:”
Safety;
International Women’s Day.
“
Women feel safest in the tiny, former-Soviet country of Georgia:
According to Gallup , the countries where women feel safest walking around alone at night aren’t the ones you’d think: Georgia, Rwanda and Singapore top that list, but only because their more rigid governments keep a close watch on things:
Many of the countries on this list — including Rwanda, Tajikistan, and Laos — are authoritarian regimes in which security forces exercise a high degree of control over the population, suggesting that in some cases personal security may come at the expense of personal freedoms.’
West Comment:
“
Women feel safest in the tiny, former-Soviet country of Georgia:
Women Physical and Emotional Health.
Women Feel Safe.
According to Gallup , the countries where women feel safest walking around alone at night aren’t the ones you’d think: Georgia, Rwanda and Singapore top that list, but only because their more rigid governments keep a close watch on things:
Many of the countries on this list — including Rwanda, Tajikistan, and Laos — are authoritarian regimes in which security forces exercise a high degree of control over the population, suggesting that in some cases personal security may come at the expense of personal freedoms.”
Women feel safe in Poor Countries.
“
Think it’s safer to live in a richer country? Not really. Women in poorer countries are actually likelier to feel safe, but then again, definitions of “feeling safe” aren’t exactly universal:
Standards for personal security may also be much lower in developing than in developed countries, which helps explain why many low-income countries appear high on the list.”
The conception of the West is that Japan Women are being subjected to Domestic violence is also blown.
Women in Japan experience the least domestic violence
Analyzing data from 10 countries, the World Health Organization found that cities in Japan and rural areas in Peru represent the extremes of domestic violence (though to be fair, the survey didn’t measure very many Central Asian, European or North American countries):
The proportion of women who had ever suffered physical violence by a male partner ranged from 13 percent in Japan to 61 percent in provincial Peru. The most common act of violence experienced by women was being slapped by their partner, from 9 percent in Japan to 52 percent in provincial Peru. This was followed by being struck with a fist, for which these two settings again represented the extremes (2 percent and 42 percent, respectively).”
Surprise;
Rwanda has the most women in public office
Out of 190 countries , Rwanda, Cuba, Andorra and Sweden have the most female representatives in their congress or parliament. More than half of Rwanda’s lower house is female. Palau, Qatar and Vanuatu are near the bottom of the list, while the U.S. is near the middle, at 77th place.”
The first National Women’s Day was celebrated on March 8, 1909, a day designated by the Socialist Party of America to honor of the 1908 garment workers’ strike in New York. From there, the day expanded internationally to include women’s movements agitating for the right to vote, work, and hold public office. It joined with other movements working to topple the Czarist regime in Russia and protest World War I. In some places, it’s even a public holiday. (In 1965, the Soviet Union declared March 8 a non-working day “in commemoration of outstanding merits of the Soviet women in communistic construction.”)
In honor of International Women’s Day somewhat left-leaning origins, here’s a look at the countries where work, life and health conditions for women are the best. There’s no clear stand-out country or region, but in general, it seems like you’d be better off somewhere in either Scandinavia or Southern Europe. Peru (and the U.S.) don’t come off that well, but New Zealand and even Rwanda might not be a bad option:
Women in New Zealand have the best working lives:
The Economist created an index showing the countries where women are most likely to be treated equally at work, based on the labor-force participation rate, the wage gap, the proportion of women in senior jobs and child care cost compared to wages, among other factors. New Zealand comes out on top, and other notorious lady-paradises such as Finland and Sweden also score high. The countries where working women have it worst are South Korea and Japan, largely because so few women there are in top jobs. The U.S. is roughly in the middle of the pack:”..
Shadow World Of Arms 2 Communist Countries End User Certificates.
In the last post we have seen the basic information on International Arms Business and the reasons for the Arms Industry to thrive.
Western Countries which manufacture and Export Arms a were listed.
List of Arms Manufacturers.
German Arms Industry
The list is not exhaustive;for a List follow the Link.
Link; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_modern_armament_manufacturers
The Communist Countries have their own Industries.
Now most of the countries have ceased to be Communists.
Leading the pack is China and Russia.
It is followed by Czechoslovakia(recall SEMTEX), Bulgaria , Yugoslavia.
Apart from this you have Iran ,Iraq, Australia etc.
Then you also have other Nations like Australia,India,Pakistan,Indonesia.
While in the days of Communism, the Arms were sold only for profits by the West, the Communists sold them for Influence over the Country to which they were selling.
If it is a Government to Government transaction there is no problem at all.
The Importing Country places on an order on the Exporting Country/a Manufacturer in that Country.
The order is scrutinized by the Defense and Foreign Department of the Exporting Country and if found in order , then the order is through.
But nothing is perfect in the world.
We have Separatists like Batista, LTTE (till recently) and a host of local out fits who wage wars against States.
The Exporters are lured by the money and they sell.
And though there are no communist Regimes now, save China, USSR, North Korea and a few others.
They sell still for ideology.
Then we do have individuals, Loosely linked terrorists and Terrorist out fits.
The want to buy.
The Arms manufacturing countries lured by the money and taking into account their Geo political calculations sell Arms to these people.
They can not sell these direct .
To fill in the void came Arms Dealers.
1.Licensed Arms dealers.
They have a License from the Government and once the order is cleared by the Government they complete the sale.
Companies also appoint Arms Dealers.
2.Arms Dealers.
They do not stock nor do they have a Licence.
They liaise with the importer, Exporter /Company and see the deal through and get a cut from both sides at times.
3.Black Market Dealers.
These people have no Licence, nor hold stocks.
The buyer wants to be anonymous and the Seller looks elsewhere.
But if the supplier is feisty these dealers oblige for a higher cut.
How do they do it?
End User certificate?
I will be dealing on this in a separate post.

Different Cases of Operational Confluence
Between Producers and Traffickers
As mentioned above, it is worth pointing out some cases in which, it can
be presumed, that arms manufacturers and traffickers are operating jointly, or
the manufacturers are acting directly as traffickers, supplying different
equipment to countries in conflict or to illegal groups.
1. The NORINCO Case
On 18 March 1996, at a local harbour, customs service agents from the
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms office of the San Francisco District Attorney’s
Office, seized a delivery of about 2,000 AK-47 type weapons, sent from China,
presumably destined for mafia groups in Los Angeles.
Under those circumstances, eight United States and several Chinese
citizens were arrested. Two Chinese citizens were probably representatives
from two of China’s State arms manufacturing companies: “North Industries
Corp.” (NORINCO) and “Polytechnology”, which belong to the Popular Army.
Those companies which are the largest Chinese arms exporters, had been
under surveillance by American investigators, because in the past, they had
been involved in the illegal introduction of their products to the local market.
It should be remembered that China had been the most important foreign
supplier of rifles and handguns to the United States until May 1994, when the96 Curbing Illicit Trafficking in Small Arms and Sensitive Technologies
Clinton Administration issued a decree banning Chinese weapons imports.
Between 1991 and 1993, “NORINCO”, “Polytechnology” and “Jinganco”,
which belongs to the State Police, sold about two million handguns on the
United States market.
“Poly Group”, which is a direct branch of the Chinese Army’s
Department of General Affairs, recorded a spectacular trade boom during the
1980s, under the rule of He Ping (Deng Xiao Ping’s son-in-law) and Wang Jun
(son of the former Vice-President Wang Zhen).
2. Eastern European Producers
After the collapse of communism, the Eastern countries’ armaments industry has been trying to overcome the crisis caused by the loss of traditional
markets
Shadow World Of Arms 1 Major Suppliers Reasons
Next to Drugs trafficking,Illegal Arms trafficking is the Highest Industry in The World.
Facts;
Drugs,Arms and Human Trafficking.
Drug Trafficking. $ 32 Billion
Arms Trafficking $15.5 Billion
As early as in 1970 there existed one fire arms for every man , woman and child living n the planet.
Let’s see how the illegal Arms Trade operates.
Every nation has an Arms industry for its Defense.
The Investment for a normal Rifles, Machine Guns , Hand Guns,Ammunition for both and Grenades is not relatively high.
Every Country has them,barring a few.
But mere Guns and ammunition for them will no be enough to defend one country.
One has to have Tanks,Artillery, Armored Cars, and Warships.
In addition one has to have Research facilities as well.
One should have technology and the Investment capacity to produce them.
Smaller countries do not manufacture them and they import from the Countries that develop these arms.
How do these smaller get them?
In Theory there is a ban on export of Arms.
At the practical level, as the investment is huge for these Industries and you can not afford to keep them idle, they are continued to be manufactured.
But the requirement for the Country’s consumption is limited.
Continuous production implies additional investments, that too ,on a large-scale is required.
So the countries that manufacture Arms, export, though paying lip service to” Ban of Arms exports’.
Main Arms Suppliers are :US,Canada,Britain,France,Italy,West Germany(with certain banned manufactures under 1954 Paris Treaty,Sweden,Switzerland, Spain,Belgium, Israel and South Africa.
Of these Western nations, Sweden and Switzerland are neutral Countries, bu still they make finest Weapons.
Israel and South Africa, unsure of their stand in the world of Importing Arms because of their peculiar political situations , have their own Industries.
The other countries are linked by NATO Treaty.
The mutual export and Import is not a problem for them.
Smaller countries requiring import from any of these countries have to get cleared by the War Office and the foreign Office of the respective countries they want to import from.
Major West European Suppliers.
The four major West European suppliers (France, United Kingdom, Germany,
and Italy), as a group, registered a significant increase in their collective share of all
arms transfer agreements with developing nations between 2003 and 2004. This
group’s share rose from 5.5% in 2003 to 22% in 2004. The collective value of this
group’s arms transfer agreements with developing nations in 2004 was $4.8 billion
compared with a total of $830 million in 2003. Of these four nations, the United
Kingdom was the leading supplier with $3.2 billion in agreements in 2004, a
substantial increase from essentially no agreements in 2003. An important portion
of the United Kingdom’s total in 2004 was attributable to a $1.8 billion agreement
with India for 66 Hawk advanced jet trainers, and a large agreement totaling in
excess of $1 billion with Saudi Arabia under the Al Yamamah military procurement
arrangement. France increased its agreements total to $1 billion in 2004from $519
million in 2003, aided by a contract to provide support for Saudi Arabia’s Crotale air
defense systems, and Shahine ground-to-air missiles for about $410 million. Italy
increased its arms transfer agreements with the developing world from $311 million
in 2003 to $600 million in 2004. Germany registered effectively no new developing
world arms orders in 2004. (charts 3 and 4)(tables 1A and 1B).

Elite With $32Trillions Control The World
In the last two posts I blogged on ‘Who runs the World Economy, Gold Price Fixed by Banks caught for frauds”.
The purpose of the first article was to point out the facts that the World is run not by Governments but by a Cabal that has vast sums of money at its disposal ans with this it dictates, influences and guides the World Economy.
To what end?
The ostensible purpose is to protect Civil Rights, Democracy and prevention of another World War and catastrophes like the Holocaust.
The facts:
World Control.
1.The ultra-wealthy have enough money sitting in offshore banks to buy all of the goods and services produced in the United States during the course of an entire year and still be able to pay off the entire U.S. national debt.
2.According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollars stashed in offshore banks around the globe.
U.S. GDP for 2011 was about 15 trillion dollars, and the U.S. national debt is sitting at about 16 trillion dollars, so you could add them both together and you still wouldn’t hit 32 trillion dollars.
In 2010, the new Fed data indicate, America’s top 1 percent held 34.5 percent of the nation’s household wealth, almost exactly the same share of the nation’s wealth that the top 1 percent held in 1995 and not all that much more than the 30.1 percent share America’s top 1 percent held in 1989.
According to an outstanding NewScientist article, a study of more than 40,000 transnational corporations conducted by theSwiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich discovered that a very small core group of huge banks and giant predator corporations dominate the entire global economic system…
3.An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.
The researchers found that this core group consists of just 147 very tightly knit companies…
When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity – that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network.
“In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.
The amount of power and control that this gives them is hard to describe.
4.Unfortunately, this same group of people have been running things for a very long time. For example, New York City Mayor John F. Hylan said the following during a speech all the way back in 1922…
The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers.
The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.
They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business.
These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.
It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection..

5.These elite meet at every major event where the World Leaders meet, at the back rooms and quietly decide wolrd affairs.
Most of the World Leaders are Members of the Societies being controlled by these Wealthy people.
They capture Legislative Offices, Media and Manipulate Public Opinion.
Please read my blogs on who controls the US Media , media Ownership in India .
To what Purpose?
Simple Make more money.
We are being run by an Oligarchy of a Wealthy Group irrespective of Nations and political affiliations.
This is very clearly hinted by Frederick Forsyth in his Book The ICON.

Who Runs The World,Banks Caught in Frauds?
Of these banks which fix Price of Gold listed below,HSBC was caught laundering drug money and despite Public Show of anger by the US it is being let off.
Goldman Sachs was bailed out, the Executives had Bonus paid out to them even after bail out and stinging comment of President Obama was met by severe criticism by The Finance Industry!
Societe Genearale
Deutsche Bank AG (DBK), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), UBS AG (UBSN) and Depfa Bank Plc were convicted by a Milan judge for their role in overseeing fraud by their bankers in the sale of derivatives to the city of Milan.(Bloomberg .com)
“Barclays boss Bob Diamond has been shamed into giving up his bonus after his bank was fined £290million for trying to rig money markets.
The massive fine was imposed by the UK Financial Services Authority and US watchdogs after Barclays was found to be deliberately manipulating the rate at which banks lend to each other.
The bank knowingly fed false information into the system used to calculate the Libor rate for British banks and Euribor rate for European banks so its traders could make profits by speculating on rates.(The mirror UK)
Continuing on the trail of exposing what is rapidly becoming one of the largest frauds in commodity markets history is the most recent interview by Eric King with GATA’s Adrian Douglas, Harvey Orgen (who recently testified before the CFTC hearing) and his son, Lenny, in which the two discuss their visit to the only bullion bank vault in Canada, that of ScotiaMocatta, located at 40 King Street West in Toronto, and find the vault is practically empty!
The multi-million pound loss occurred within weeks of the investment bank uncovering the much larger multi-billion fraud by rogue trader Jerome Kerviel. On top of the €4bn hit Mr Kerviel’s actions caused, the bank suffered a dramatic blow to its reputation.
Although smaller, the Sfr182m hole uncovered in 2007 led to lawsuits and the liquidation of the Swiss subsidiary in which it took place. SocGen did not refer to the problems in any of its annual reports published at the time.
The alleged fraud took place in December 2007. It happened at Rosbank Switzerland, the Swiss branch of SocGen’s Russian subsidiary Rosbank.
The loss is detailed in Rosbank’s 2007 annual report in which it is described as a “fraud”. In its 2008 update Rosbank gave more details including how the situation had been remedied – through the injection of Sfr174.7m of shareholder fund.(telegraph UK).
Members who fix Gold Prices.
- Scotia-Mocatta — successor to Mocatta & Goldsmid and part of Bank of Nova Scotia
- Barclays Capital — Replaced N M Rothschild & Sons when they abdicated
- Deutsche Bank — Owner of Sharps Pixley, itself the merger of Sharps Wilkinswith Pixley & Abell
- HSBC — Owner of Samuel Montagu & Co.
- Société Générale — Replaced Johnson Matthey and CSFB as fifth seat.
- These are the banks that Fix Gold Prices?
You expect them be honest?
The purport of this post(second part) has something else to bring out altogether
As the post is getting too long I will conclude in the next post and explain who really runs the World and Economy, definitely not the Governments!
