Cook Islands Seeks Inter-Continental Jet Service for Its Economic Growth

News Analysis:  Cook Islands Seeks Inter-Continental Jet Service For Its Economic Growth through an Airline Tender. Since it is located Half-Way between the Hawaiian Islands and New Zealand, travel by Jet Aircraft is most expedient. A Government Subsidy for travel to Los Angeles, California, is a present reality. An Airline wanting to expand itself into the Pacific may want to  consider these Islands.

The approximately 10,000+ people living in the Cook Islands are engaged in Black Pearl Exports, Clothing Manufacture, Copra Harvesting, and Citrus Fruit Production. To an investor, the aforementioned Products offer possible Import Opportunities to his or her Country ‘or elsewhere’.

Germany Communicates Its Extreme Displeasure of Electronic Privacy Invasions by Foreigners

News Analysis: Germany Communicates Its Extreme Displeasure of Electronic Privacy Invasions By Foreigners.  Substantial Cost to the Cell Phone Manufacturer, which is Accused of being a Co-Conspirator, may result. The Economic And Good Will Loss  to the American Cell Phone Manufacturer can be sizable. Its short term Economic Gain by purportedly cooperating in the Cabal may bring it long term Public Distrust. Public Opprobrium has a Long Life.

Beyond the Harmed Country’s ‘Mere’ Displeasure can loom possible  Criminal Prosecution for Secrecy Laws Violations.

Encrypted Communications can occur with German Produced Componentry in  locally Manufactured Equipment ergo, Confidentiality is more probable “in the Short Term”. However, the Decoding Capabilities of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) are Legendary; It is a “Code Breaker Supreme”.

There are No Long Term Secrets. Reality.

America’s National Security Agency (NSA) Costs the Country More Than Just Its Budget

News Analysis: America’s National Security Agency [NSA] Costs the Country More Than Just Its Budget. It also Costs Losing International Customers [who deplore Invasions of Privacy by Foreigners in particular]. Since 7.141+ Billion People on Earth do not understand how the ‘NSA’ can be above America’s Law, they Choose to Stop Doing Business with U.S. Companies.

Since there are people who say Washington, D.C. is Ruled by Mountebanks, such Sceptics  will only engage Trustworthy Companies. The American Elite who allow for such Privacy Travesties  should realize “Power which is Given, Can be Taken Away”; that is why Elections are held.

As the NSA continues with its Agenda, which it surely will, Economic Calamity may befall those American Corporations who Stealthily aided it.  Those Corporations that “Sold Their Souls” for A ‘Buck’ and Lost their Integrity, are on the “Down Slope” where Respect is involved.

A Good Reputation is Hard To Build; But Easy To Destroy. Reality.

Chinese Yuan Quickly Becoming an International Currency

News Analysis: Chinese Yuan Quickly Becoming An International Currency bodes well for other Nations of the World: It gives those Countries an additional Financial Choice. As Small Examples: a Government can engage in Arbitrage of its own currency against the U.S. Dollar or the European Euro. In  doing so, the value of its Currency Reserves may be enhanced; Privately,  Corporations around the World may find it more opportune to pay for Goods and/or Services with the Yuan; Businesses in China may find More International Customers for their Goods and Services.

One may assume that China realizes that the Profligate Debt of the United States [Currently $17 Trillion+ and Growing] will have a Long-Term Effect of reducing the value of the Dollars it holds.

No Permanent and Workable Solution for the Timely Repayment of  the ‘Mount Everest’ of Debt, has been decided by the American Government. So, the Financial Debt Avalanche Grows in both Size and Complexity. Its further Anticipated Borrowing will merely Compound the Problem. If Natural Calamities occur, such as Hurricanes ‘Hugo’ or more recently ‘Sandy’, then More Debt Will Occur. Even to the present, the U.S. Federal Government HAS NOT fully paid for the damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. Additionally, if another War were to occur, a Colossal Debt Increase will be realized. Inordinate Spending by “Washington” MUST STOP.

A Fundamental Attribute on the “Income-Side” of the Financial Ledger is that Debt is Partially Reduced by  Income Growth. As against other Nations, America has fewer Unique Goods it can sell  them. In part, this is because Washington’s Leaders with their Trade Agreements did not realize a Simple Economic Fact of Life: “A Successful  Country sells its Products Not the Technologies to Produce those Products”. Once the Technologies are Transferred and  Revealed, the Customer Countries merely duplicate the End-Products [and sell them at a Lesser Price]! Thereafter, the Short-Sightedness of the Initial Technology Countries continues to “Bite-Them-In The Pocketbook”.

This has Already Happened to America [Technology Transfer].

Perhaps, Some Countries are in their current Inextricable Economic Dire Straits due to a Lack of Financial Common-Sense by their Government Leaders. This is Not Rocket Science.

Reality.

Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a Stealth Approach in Submarine-Style Plotting

News Analysis:  Trans Pacific Partnership [TPP] Is A Stealth Approach In Submarine-Style Plotting by a Few Countries. Absolutely fearing the “Light Of Day” with Public Disclosure of Discussions, Cabal Members remain silent. Like Cockroaches, they fear Exposure.  The designed omission of China from the Plotters Scheme reverberates loudly to all who are aware of the Nefarious Pact. Additionally, reported ‘Agreement Terms’ of the ‘TPP’ are Grossly Unacceptable to many people who have been ‘Unauthorized” reviewers who are really concerned about citizens’ economic welfare.

Countries who Publicly Espouse Democracy and Fair Play should not engage in Surreptitious Behavior. Their  Hypocrisies dissuade the World Citizenry; When will they ever learn this Principle? The “Masters Of The Universe” [Government Leaders’ “Handlers”] who really Establish Vested-Interest Directions, should realize: “Long Term, There Are No Secrets”. Reality.

Emirates Airline Shows Good Foresight with Its Increased Airbus A380 Purchases

News Analysis:  Emirates Airlines Shows Good Foresight With Its Increased Airbus A380 Purchases since there is no ‘Equal Capacity’ Aircraft available in the world.  The A380 commenced as a “Clean Slate” Design [CSD] which gave it ‘Systemic Legitimacy’ that Manufacturers seek. To wit, the Fuselage, Wings, Engines, Electronics, Etc. were all designed in consort with the Technical Requirements of Each. “Equilibrium” of Operational Efficiency  in an aircraft occurs as a result. Rather than “Altering” a Wide-Body Aircraft to increase its capacity or range [which seldom works as efficiently as a ‘CSD’], the A380 stands alone in its Capacity and Efficiency.

As the World Economy Improves, the A380 will continue to prove of great value: One ‘Long Haul’ Aircraft, relative to its Capacity and Range, rather than Two or Three Smaller Twin-Engine Airplanes. If one extrapolates the Monies Needed to Equal one A380’s Capacity: Multiple Aircraft, Increased Airport Facilities, Additional Crews, Increased Support Services, and More Insurances. These are proportionately lessened by using the A380.

The Future Aircraft Needs some Airframes mention, indicates: The A380 for increased traffic on International Flights, is Imperative; Proportionately lesser so, the Smaller Twin-Engine Aircraft [due to their Aforementioned Increased Costs].

Wise Airline Management should consider both the Direct as well as Indirect Long-Term Costs for Success in  this Industry.

America Lead Nations in Remittances to Other Countries with $123,300,000,000.00 Transferred Out in 2012

News Analysis:  America Lead Nations In Remittances to Other Countries With $123,300,000,000,000.00 Transferred Out In 2012; which some say is a wonderful Re-Distribution of Wealth. This vast amount of money went mainly [75+%] to Latin America. About half of the amount sent to Latin America went to Mexico.

Saudi Arabia provided Remittances of $27,600,000,000.00 followed by Canada with $23,900,000,000.00.

Investing in Companies handling the Prodigious Amount of Legitimate Funds Transfers should bring ample returns to he or she.

Egypt Oil Cracking Facility to be Built

News Analysis:  Egypt Oil Cracking Facility to be built will assist its Petroleum Industry in providing Processed Chemicals for users across the Continent and in Europe. This relatively large undertaking is much needed not only for present-day Oil Processing but for Egypt’s Bright Future. As North Central and Northwest Crude is extracted from future wells, this Cracking Facility will give much added value to Egyptian Exports. Also, any future Oil Wells in the Mediterranean Sea will need Oil Cracking performed also.

Investors may want to consider putting their Funds, for one example, into Egypt’s need for a efficient Oil Products Quay in the Mediterranean Sea; this for delivery of products to Tankers which would be berthed there.

Since some Informed People understand about the Oil Wealth Across North Africa, only known to a few, now is an excellent time to ‘Make A Play’ in Egypt in its Oil Industry. Once one’s Bona Fides are established in Egypt, expansion in the Nations to its West will be more apt to occur.

The Oil Riches of the Entire Area should not be ignored by Individual Investors; Corporate Investors will not. Reality.

Belize’s Rosewood Export Conundrum Addressed by Government

News Analysis:  Belize’s Rosewood Export Conundrum Addressed By its Government but to the dismay of several Indigenous Groups. Belize has its Government trying to control the Illegal Harvesting and Export of Rosewood. It wants to conform with the Conference of the Parties of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. This is the responsible direction to proceed.

Indigenous Tribes whose Territories contain the Rosewood Trees should have both their Assets [Rosewood Trees] recognized by ALL LOGGERS and the Tribes be listened for their Specific Complaints. Those ‘Irritations’ need to be resolved, many say.

Only when ALL PARTIES to a Transaction, Equitably Benefit during its ‘Term’, is it a GOOD Transaction.
Reality.

German Watchmakers Create Unique Mechanical Timepiece

News Analysis:  German Watchmakers Create Unique Mechanical Timepiece with Seven Complications. The Eight-Years-to-Fruition Project consists of a device with 876 pieces installed in Twenty Layers. An “Electronic Watch” can possibly reproduce the Representations of these Complications. However, to  design and build such,  in Mechanical Form, can be described as Spectacular. The Mechanical Horologic Instrument gains recognition also through its ‘Second Sense Dimension of Sound’ emanating from its Chimes.

In a Century of Electronics, people often forget about Technology which can be Mechanical. This was true Several Thousand Years Ago with the “Antikythera Mechanism” [a Computer made by the Ancient Greeks for Astronomical Calculations] and is valid today by the Germans with this Horologic
Creation.
