 He speaks out his opinions
without fear. He speaks for the common man.
Against all corporate and political crooks.
He is the

A political view|
IN THE MIDDLE
Finally it seems that
political leaders of the world are speaking out
against USA and the western civilization´s
increasing global power. Kofi Annan without
mentioning names said that some countries seems
to think that they can do whatever they want
without global support (Does USA ring a bell?).
Other marking views have been Malaysia´s PM
Mahathir Mohammed´s speech expressing his views
of the western imperialism lead by the World Bank
and the IMF, where developing nations are forced
to give room to capitalisism in their economy
which only gains the western nations.

When the World Trade
Center fell, it was two legends of skyscrapers
which fell. But how and why? How could these
magnificent structures fall so rapidly into ashes
and debris? To answer this we have to go an
engineering route. Soon to come ; How
skyscrapers are built, and extra on the fall of
the Twin Towers.
The vulnerable Western world
This summer has shown
the modern western world`s weak sides. . .First
the hot summer, which gave abnormal high
temperatures, with France coming out worst. With
temperatures creeing up to 40 degrees this
western industrialized country had see 3000
people die in a few weeks (that`s the total
number of people who died during 911).
Overcrowded hospitals, patients lying in the
hallways, people not getting treatment, is this
the signs of the western world?
40 degrees is a
temperature Asia, Africa and South America´s
people have coped without modern facilities for
centuries (and even now), high temperature have
never directly caused death, it`s has only
indirectly influenced by ruining harvests, giving
epidemcs etc.
|
But 40 degrees is still
normal in many countries in the world, and none
of these countries, though they are developing
countries, face deaths of 3000 people becuase of
the heat.And
then came the power-failure in USA and Canada
which got headlines all over the world. People
had to quit work because no electricity was
coming, what TV showed was hordes of people
walking along the road, trying to get home before
dark. Power failed in two of the richest
countries in the world and suddenly people were
stuck in elevators, people couldn`t continue
work, people were stuck in dark subways and
airports had to close. . .yet power fails in for
example India every day, and yet people are able
to continue work, airports still have electricity
and and life goes on like anything.
Update 29th Sept
2003: Now we have also seen
power-failures in London, Denmark, Sweden and
Italy which have caused havoc with delayed
traffic, people stuck and people losing lives.
It shows only how
vulnerable the western world really is, behind
the happy fasade of development and high GDP.
