United Nations

The ‘Vessel’ “United Nations” Maintains Its Lethargic Crew, As It Sails In A Storm; Will The Alert From ‘The Island’, Al Jazeera, Of Doha, Qatar, Awaken Any Members, To The Dire Plights Of Able Seafarers Around The World?

A compendium of negative events, the most pronounced being: The lack of capital for seafarers, their sustenance, and of ships’ maintenance, by some devious Vessel Owners, appear to have fallen on deaf United Nations members’ ears.

We, for many decades, have closely participated in various ways, and watched World Maritime Shipping with great interest. Today, some Ship Owners have ignored International Maritime Organization requirements for both safe crews and ships. The Coronavirus CV19 Pandemic has exacerbated a dearth of funding for the aforementioned. Essentially ‘Involuntary Servitude’ of prior centuries has been reformatted into ‘Slavery on Ships’ today.

Crews cannot leave their vessels since nations are concerned they may transmit the CV19 virus to their citizens. Chandlers must also be very cautious. Some Ship Owners have ‘skated away’ from providing funds for the crews and their ships’ maintenance.

We find it remarkable that while ship engine pollution and rules of such are written about profusely by the “Germalists”, we had mentioned in other articles, few say anything about the Seafarers current plight. The GARGANTUAN level of reporting about the Suez Canal weather-caused stoppage recently, was heard around the world! Yet, this current dastard situation is not discussed; not by Main Stream Media, nor world politicians. Why is that?

The “Logistics” subject, occurred during the ‘Suez Event’ and it ‘made the news’; World Seafarers, through communications negligence, Main Stream Media effectively caused to ‘abuse’.

Again, as International Businessmen, we commend “Al Jazeera”, and the Government of Qatar, for giving this terrible problem, the ‘Light of Day’ in a somewhat ‘Stormy World’.

It is our hope, the very few actual ‘World Leaders’ that exist, take the helm and steer the United Nations into actions which aid the plight of Able Seamen.

Reality: It is good to be on the bridge of the ship as it sails; it is best to be awake as it does. There may be a large iceberg ahead.

World’s 202 Million Unemployed (And Increasing) Does Not Bode Well For Markets

News Analysis: United Nations’ International Labor Organization (ILO) Data depicts that Contrary to the many joyous sounding pronouncements by Journalism Majors writing in respected Financial Publications, World Unemployment exists for 202 Million Citizens! This is disastrous to Real World Economic Recovery. Making this FACT even more Dire is that 5 Million People were added to the number in 2013. Estimates of 2018, suggest about 215 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE EXPECTED TO BE UNEMPLOYED, according to the ‘ILO’.

Since our readers understand our Mantra to be “Reality is the truth”, We want Entrepreneurs and Investors to realize what is ACTUALLY OCCURRING in the Markets.  If one looks at the Stock Markets he or she will be confused by the current  Price/Earnings (PE)  Ratios of Stocks relative to existing and projected World Unemployment. “Since Unemployment is very high, how will people be able to afford things?” they wonder. The answer for the ‘PE’ Ratios is simple: “Bubble Masters” and their ‘Media Minions’ are at work.

“Bubble Masters” took the “Real Estate Bubble” and transferred some of their gains to the “Precious Metal Bubble” at the appropriate time. They then deflated that ‘Bubble’ by selling $20 Billion Dollars of Gold on the Market [in ‘One Shot’] gaining Media attention. They took some of their “Precious Metal Bubble” funds and went to work creating the present “Stock Market Bubble”; each ‘Bubble” is in Serial Fashion, isn’t it? 

As the “Bubble Masters” work, London Inter-bank Official Rates Scandals and Precious Metal Price Fixing Scandals Continue apparently unabated. These ‘Shenanigans’ are certainly dis-incentives to Invest.

Unwise ‘Freiers’ (who keep investing and losing the monies) need to stay ahead of the ‘Bubbles’ (not behind them). By Consulting with LEGITIMATE Seasoned International Professionals they can learn where to place funds and what ‘Scams’ to shun. Those who continually  put their “Thinking Caps” on and ‘Connect the Dots’ will have a clear vision of Tomorrow’s Investment Opportunities (‘Bubbles’ or Not). They can help Consulting to  both Entrepreneurs as well as Investors. Their knowing “Tomorrow Is Today, Today Is Yesterday” causes them to ‘Always Sleep With One Eye Open’.

Reality.

188 Countries in United Nations Voted that United States Cease Its Cuba Embargo

News Analysis:  A fifty-three year embargo evidences an archaic view of good international relations of a Super Power to its neighbor.  Cuba, purportedly sitting on top of an enormous gas/oil deposit [of which certain Americans knew about before Fidel Castro’s  rise to power] could decide to open up its territory to oil exploration. If so, the embargo would be immediately withdrawn, one could logically infer.

Historically, upsetting Americans by the taking over of casinos and other  businesses by the Cubans was merely ‘window dressing’; a pretext for the real value of Cuba to certain Americans: Petrochemicals.

Today, more damage is done to the Cuban people by isolating them. What gain is that to a civilized Super Power? Rather than evidencing animosities against the Cuban Government, the United States should engage it in meaningful dialogue. Opening up the American market to Cuban goods and vice-versa can only help neighborly relations. Perhaps then, Cuba would allow America to explore and develop its gas/oil deposits [America’s little secret known by a few].

Lebanese Discussing Oil Development Contract Authority

News Analysis:  Since the estimated quantity of Eastern Mediterranean oil within the boundaries of Lebanese Waters is so sizable, due diligence is being displayed in the decision-making process of Contract Awarding. The possible economic benefit to the entire country should be vast. Decisions need to be carefully made for best ‘down-stream’ rewards for the People of Lebanon.
