Strong National Leaders List For 2021

This year, globally, Nations were beset with twists and turns, that required effective Leaders to take Long Views of events occurring in their countries. By climbing up to high peaks and looking down at the panoramas before them, they could see where their energies needed to be placed. By ignoring Mainstream Media tempests, which are omnipresent when times are ‘tough’, these Leaders focused in orderly fashion on the needs of their citizens.

In 2021, we have evaluated the approximately 200 countries and determined, with intended objectivity, to ascertain those Leaders who continually acted decisively, and responsibly; this, to the many impediments in front of each of them. Our list is one that required vast amounts of our time to assess, evaluate, edit, and complete as the months rolled by. Some additions, to last year’s evaluations occurred; gross ineptitude showed its ugly face, though mediocre actions, in other deletions being necessitated.

We are of the persuasion, having viewed, over many decades, what we think Leaders are, and one thing is consistently evidenced is: A dearth of effect on them, by Puppet Masters’ Masters who attempt their influences. This year, one leader in particular, of a large Nation, was so obviously manipulated by his Marionetters, to be laughable, if his actions were not so harmful to that country.

Our Motto is: Tell it to us as it is; we deal with realities, not Main Stream Media (MSM) holograms. We all noticed, from our various countries, that the aforementioned large Nation’s MSM, have been mysteriously silent as to their leader’s gaffes, goofs, and gobbly-gook. They wanted him in office and now they can all choke on the ‘Crow’ they are eating. It serves them well.

All of the Leaders on our list may have varied actions, ideas, and purposes, with which we do not agree. We do however, respect them all as Leaders, not ‘litters’ as we have mentioned. The fact that they are patriots for their countries is excellent. Hence, their being somewhat devoted, to national wealth creation, should come as no surprise. Each of them appear to understand that COMMERCE [International Commerce] is in the best interest of their Nations. Non-hegemonic actions is requisite for GOOD COMMERCE. One does NOT go to war with one’s Customers.

It is our desire that the other Nations of the world, evaluate the Leaders’ actions on this 2021 List and take from it the best; implement such, for their own countries benefits. Inspiration can provide growth opportunities to the intrepid.

The following Leaders (King, President, or Prime Minister) [by Continent/Country], we are of the opinion, have shown strength of Character, Intellect, Integrity, and what we, as International Businessmen all revere, Wisdom.

Africa:

Edouard Ngirente – Rwanda

Asia:

We wish to each of you, for the remainder of this year, and in future years, Good Health, Good Luck, and Continued Wisdom.

Strong National Leaders List For 2020

As International Businessmen, we communicate at various times, with citizens of the approximately 200 countries in the world; this, through visitations primarily, and also telephonically. Over the years we have found that a person’s body language, including eye behaviors and voice pitch, amplitude, and word frequency says ‘volumes’. Such data is not available in mere ‘E-Mails’; Face-To-Face is best for privacy also.

In assessing Nations’ leaders, we want to know, above the standard economic data of a country [readily accessible on many formats], what the citizens think of their leaders. For accuracy,  close contact is required. Due to the fact many of us have nurtured many long-term business relationships with these citizens, honest discussions, without fear nor favor, take place.  Our Motto is: Tell it to us as it is; we deal with realities, not Main Stream Media (MSM) Holograms.

For this year of 2020, we have determined some Leaders, have performed exceptionally well; this, as judged by Current Economic Data [unfortunately, in part influenced by CV19], and by their citizens views of them. As an example, those listed did not suffer from “‘Politicians’ CV 19 FLU Pandemic Panic” and shut down their countries economies, as others have done; this at a cost the other leaders will not want to disclose to their citizenry.

We do not agree with all of their decisions our listed Leaders made, this year; nor do the other list Leaders agree with each other. However, the important concept to keep in mind: These Leaders LEAD, in spite of ridicule by political competitors, MSM, or other hegemonic countries leaders [or their nefarious ‘Agencies’]. They try to do their very best for their country: Culturally, Economically, Politically, and Socially; Patriots They Are.

We hope that all other Nations will have their leaders excel so that efficient International Business can prevail in 2021 and beyond; this with  “Internationalist”, not “Globalist” agendas.

The following Leaders [by Continent/Country], we are of the opinion, have shown strength of Character, Intellect, Integrity, and perhaps most of all, Wisdom.

Asia:

Xi Jinping– China

Narendra Moti – India

Joko Widodo – Indonesia

Rodrigo Duterte – Philippines

Europe:

Boris Johnson– England

Emmanuel Macron – France

Viktor Orban – Hungary

Prince Albert – Monaco

Vladimir Putin– Russia

Middle East:

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi – Egypt

Benjamin Netanyahu – Israel

King Salman – Saudi Arabia

Recep Tayyip Erdogan – Turkey

North America:

Donald Trump – United States of America

South America:

Jair Bolsonaro – Brazil

Luis Lacalle Pou – Uruguay

Best of Good Health, Good Luck, and Continued Wisdom to each, for the remainder of 2020, and in the coming years.

Philippine Island of Cebu Strikes Oil

News Analysis: A relatively large deposit of oil has been discovered on Cebu Island after years of drilling in the area. Since this is NOT off-shore, as many other Philippine Deposits are, production costs should be much less. An estimated 12 million barrels of oil a day will most likely be the production rate of wells  when operational.

Since there is likely a significant amount of Natural Gas at this location, a Power Plant for electrical production for this Island of  almost 4 million people would be built to serve them.

Perhaps this discovery will lead others to look for more Oil on Land, of which there is 298,170 Km2  (115,124 Mi2), throughout the 7,107 Philippine Islands.

Bermuda’s Reinsurance Companies Want to Take Over Governments’ Insurance Coverages

News Analysis: Bermuda’s Reinsurance Companies want to take over Governments’ Insurance Coverages for the Profit Potential therein. To their credit, these Companies are being Pro-Active in seeking Certain “Insurable” areas of coverage currently offered by Nations.

Since the Bermuda Reinsurance Industry is trying to find growth, it is engaging in Due Diligence to find Profitable Opportunities with Acceptable Levels of Risk.

Natural Catastrophe Risk versus Economic Catastrophe Risk are both covered by this Vital Industry. Through increased Technology, additional data is available for the proper assessment of Catastrophes [Natural or Economic]. The recent Typhoon  in the Philippines, as an example,  suggests that such a Large Event might be covered if there were Insurance [Reinsurance] Policies.  Insurance Coverage  could aid a stricken area substantially. Economic Catastrophes are becoming more known through Internet Cyber-Attacks, for example, against huge Data Bases, for one. The loss of Pertinent Information could destroy its owner’s Economic Viability. Reinsurance would help against Catastrophic Loss.

When Evaluating the need for Insurance and Reinsurance, Governments, Corporations, and Individuals should remember: “Stormy Days Will Occur”. Reality.

Severe Storms: Called Different Names, But The Same

News Analysis: Severe Storms, are called ‘Cyclones’, ‘Hurricanes’, or ‘Typhoons’ [CHT’s]. The names are interchangeable.

‘CHT’s’ may increase both in Intensity and Number in coming years due to Climate Change. Friday’s Gigantic Storm in the Philippines may be evidence of this.

They are largely a product of increased energy variations in the atmosphere as well as growth in moisture content. Since there is less Ice at the Poles, water vapor has accelerated. This, added to a slight increase in Global Warming, assist in ‘CHT’ Formation. 

The Adversity posed by these ‘CHT’ Events pose Opportunities to Investors around the world. Technologies to be developed, once funded by Entrepreneurs, can help minimize the weather hazard effects. Individuals typically provide funding much quicker than Governments. Their quick economic actions can translate into many benefits for the public  exposed to the chance of ‘CHT’ Exposure.

World Bank Increases Ranking of Philippines for Ease of Doing Business

News Analysis:  Minimizing unproductive regulations regarding  establishing a business in the Philippines, as well other impediments to commerce, will help them continue in a favorable direction. Investors need to hear about the government’s intention to promote business growth. 

The resourceful and hard-working people of the country are its greatest asset.  Natural resources of the islands are another good reason to consider engaging in commerce in the Philippines. Its location provides proximity to Asian abundance.
