Bad Nuts Can Ruin Fruitcakes; Trust But Verify

News Analysis: “Bad Nuts Can Ruin Fruitcakes; Trust But Verify” is an admonition for Family Operated Companies as well was Public Corporations. Outside Forensic Accountants should be hired to examine Company Books INDEPENDENTLY of normal In-House and other Outside Auditing.

Typically, an Embezzler will do most damage from a high position in a company (C.F.O.?) not as a lower level employee (there are fewer ‘eyes’ above the Miscreant). Bribery and Embezzlement go hand in hand to keep the theft detectors at bay. A Crook will use his Employment Position and Guile to appear beyond reproach (Colorful Snakes do not always Hiss).

Businesses need to have continuous but random times for Records Examinations by Forensic Accountants. A Corporation that does NOT have  Zero Tolerance For Thieves, “Gets What It Gets”.

Reality.

☆ U.S. National Security Agency’s (NSA) Audio/Video Recording Scam Web Site Some People Suggest May Be Called: “FARCEBOOK”?

News Analysis: Recent revealed data about a fake “Internet Relationship” Site (IRS) (a Site that we do not ‘Buy Into’) replicated the appearance of another actual Web Site. However, the ‘NSA’ apparently directly owns all of this one. This ‘Impostor’ U.S. National Security Agency’s (NSA) Audio/Video Recording Scam Web Site Some People Suggest May Be Called: “FARCEBOOK”?

We have told our Many International Readers: “Information Is Power; Personal Information Is Nuclear”. Freely giving Personal Data and Photographs to ‘IRS’s’ is foolhardy at best. One should assume that the ‘NSA’ with its EXCELLENT TALENT, can readily obtain the information its seeks; information that ‘Subscribers’ cheerfully gave. With the Bogus Web Site, Audio and Video Imagery is attainable by the Computer being attacked; so much for Personal Privacy by the ‘NSA’. 

Rather than “Feeding One’s Ego” by presenting PERSONAL Information and Photographs to ‘IRS’s’  for World Distribution by ‘IRS’s’ or captured by the ‘NSA’, why not be Discrete and Retain One’s Right To Personal Privacy?

Now or Later, Information and/or Photographs freely given (or taken surreptitiously by the Very Capable ‘NSA’ ), may come to Haunt the Donor.

Famous Department Store Unknowingly Sold Fraudulent Products?

News Analysis: A Famous Department Store Unknowingly Sold Fraudulent Products before being determined by Italian Authorities to be the case; all such sales were immediately ceased.

The Geographic and Cultural Histories (GCH) of Legitimate Products must be constantly enforced since much money is lost due to Customer Confusion. It behooves all European Growers and Manufacturers, where ‘GCH’ is relevant to their Commercial Endeavors, to demand compliance with European Laws.

Since the “Morality of the Mass Merchandising Marketplace Is In Misery” as many people think, Constant Surveillance is required by Growers and Manufacturers for finding Commercial Usurpers; where ever they may be coming from.

Snakes in the Grass come in many varied Colors and Sizes, but all are still Snakes.

☆ East Pacific Ocean’s Cascadia Fault May Create A Mega-Earthquake

News Analysis: East Pacific Ocean’s Cascadia Fault May Create A Mega-Earthquake with Tsunamis reaching across the Ocean to Japan (as was the case in 1700). The stronger North America Plate is colliding with the Juan De Fuca and Gorda  Tectonic Plates. Scientists predict the North America Plate which is being pushed down by the other two Plates will “Snap Back” and create an Earthquake of approximately 9.0 Magnitude. A Seismic Event of 9.0 Scale would be devastating to the entire West Coast of North America many Geologists think. Major Corporations up and down the West Coast may be heavily impacted.

In the past, an Earthquake occurred along the North West Coast of America  and immediately thereafter a Major Air Frame moved its Headquarters elsewhere (while denying their fears about the Event). Manufacturers should be heavily impacted by such an Event so “Short Selling” in Stock Markets may be beneficial for those Investors who move decisively. 

In Seriatim Fashion, some Scientists say that “Cascadia” could further trigger the Infamous San Andreas Fault which extends from the Pacific Ocean off of San Francisco, under it, proceeds to Central California and veers in a South-Easterly Direction towards Mexico. It is well known now that the Southern Half of the San Andreas Fault System is long overdue for a Rupture.

To those who have invested their monies in Corporations located in ‘Silicon Valley’, California, as we have stated before: “The Certainty of a Major Earthquake UNDERNEATH IT is 100%; The Timing Of Its Occurrence is of a Lesser Percentage (not much Consolation for Wise Investors).

☆ Lithuania’s Satellite Is Navigation Controllable From The Ground After Its Launch From The International Space Station

News Analysis: The “Cube” Satellite is Navigation Controllable From The Ground After Its Launch from The International Space Station as per Lithuanian Specification. The significance of this launch is that the viability of ‘Low Cost’ Satellites can be utilized by more countries for ‘Specific Need Changes’ in Real-Time from Earth. The 3.5 Million Lithuanians living in 65,300 km2 (25,212 mi2) of area will find additional benefits from this “Cube Satellite” as time progresses.

“High-Technology” Lithuania can lead other Physically Smaller Countries to seek the many benefits of Satellite Science on their own Intellectually-Gifted Populations, as is Lithuania.

☆ Cheeses Named After Specific Geographies Or Identifiable To Certain Countries Should Not Be Commercially Penalized By “Identity Thieves” From Elsewhere

News Analysis: It is a Ludicrous Argument that Certain Cheeses From Europe (Readily Identifiable as to their Historical Sources) might cause Economic Hardship on ‘Trade Brand Thieves’ from other Continents (if the ‘Usurpers’ have to ‘Fly Straight’). The ‘Usurpers’ should be re-naming their products so there are no “Joe Isuzu” Misrepresentations of what they are actually selling.

The Folly of their Hypocritical Positions is accentuated by Foreign Producers of Greek ‘Feta’ Cheese using ‘Greek Styled’ Letting in light blue color  (two distinctly Greek Elements) to convey their Fraud to Innocent Consumers. Additionally, the Fraudsters, ‘Greek Yogurt’ could be called “Greek-Style” Yogurt, at a minimum.

American Courts, in particular, have been historically loaded with cases involving Trade Name Issues resolutely brought about by American Corporations. ANYTHING REMOTELY involving their Corporate Names or Products, as used by others, are grounds for  protracted  law suits.

This Very Litigious Group  (American and other Foreign Corporations), now wants to be able to encroach, FOR FREE, on the Historical Trade Named Geographies and Cultures of European Businesses; very Egotistical and Disingenuous at best.

The Non-European Corporations Mantra is: “Do As We Say, Not As We Do” (For, We Can Commercially Encroach On You; But Not You On Us)

☆ Greenland Open Pit Ruby Mine May Open This Year

News Analysis: A Canadian Company is awaiting Greenland Government Final Approvals to operate an Open-Pit Mining Operation for Gem Quality Rubies and Lesser Rubies.  Over the past several years, the Company’s Field Geologists have successfully Core Drilled numerous locations displaying Ruby (Corundum) (Al2O3Cr) Mineralization. 

The Ruby, at a Moh’s Hardness Scale of 9.0, is only surpassed in Gemstones by the 10.0 Hardness Ranking of Diamonds. The “Precious Stones” are:Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, and Sapphires.

To date 65,000 grams of Gems have been recovered and twice that of lesser quality.

The Canadian Mining Company should surely prosper from their Capital Risk and Hard Work to date, since people throughout the World should want to purchase “Non-Restricted” Rubies from a fine Country as Greenland.

Investors may want to engage in ‘Due Diligence’ towards seeking possible funding of this “Ruby Play” by Experienced Geologists. The Financial Returns could be significant.

☆ Will Businessmen And Other Entities Flock To Russian-Built Aircraft With Russian-Built Electronics So There Are No Invasion Of Privacy Concerns?

News Analysis: The Global Electronics Intelligence domination by the U.S. National Security Agency allows a window of opportunity to open for Russian Aircraft Electronics Companies. Businessmen in particular may consider, for example,  purchasing Sukhoi Superjet 100’s since they may have Russian Built (“Bug” Free) Electronics in their Cockpits. Invasion of Privacy concerns (which prevail with American Built Aircraft) as judged by Non-American Businessmen, will not be present in the Superjets.

The Superjet, a Titanium-Stainless-Aluminum Aircraft, sells for approximately a reported 35% of the cost of the equivalent American Product! Is the American Airframe gouging its customers? If one considers the alleged approximate $20 Million Dollars per aircraft in various Government Subsidies it receives, many people would answer ‘Definitely’. Depending on the configuration the Superjet 100 aircraft has a range of 4,578 km (2,470 nm) carrying  98 Passengers to 7,880 km (4,250 nm) in the VIP 8 Passenger Version. Both versions are BUILT TO LAST.

The benefit to Russia, in providing their own Electronics for the Cockpit is easy to understand. The benefit to Privacy, for International Businessmen and others, to buy such Russian Aircraft is Mandatory.

For Military or Commercial Aircraft, one should be aware: Information is Power; Personal Information is Nuclear. Think about this: Much of Business Importance is discussed in Multi-Hour Flights.

Many people maintain: “With American Built Aircraft, ‘The Walls Have Ears'”.
