| Is US on Brink of War with Iran?
As having worked for a multi-national Corp before, I can tell you that these corporations would rather deal with absolute dictators than a finicky democracy. In fact what neo-Cons fear more than anything is democracy. Look at Hugo Chavez, Allende and Guzman (Guatemala 1954) for concrete examples! But probably the best example of anti-democratic forces at work is here at home when the MSM excludes any candidate that threatens runaway corporate theft. Reuters (which is owned by Thomson Corporation as in Thomson Health Care) for example has shown that on their political website (http://www.reuters.com/news/politics) that they will now give daily updates to all of the Dem. and Rep. candidates. Bill Richardson, who dropped out, is included yet Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate from either party that is excluded.
Banks are helping sharia make a back-door entrance
Still, I'm curious, how can banking and religion have a relationship with one another? And if they do in someone's head, how does this affect someone else's life?
Take care,

Green Isn't Gold for MBAs
The students expected to be leading the green revolution apparently wouldn't mind making some green first. A company's record on environmental issues ranked at the bottom of factors MBAs are using to select employers, according to a study released Jan. 16 by the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton. Also close to the bottom were other so-called company value issues such as corporate ethics, social responsibility, and community involvement. At the top of the list: career opportunities, corporate culture and working environment, and benefits. MBAs also expressed a strong preference for companies that produce high-quality products and allow their employees to balance work with their personal life. Show Me the Money According to the study, which surveyed 527 MBA students at 12 top-ranked international business schools, 95% of the students ranked career opportunities as "extremely" or "very important" factors in selecting an employer.
I count on you, Kibaki tells Kiambu residents
Kibakis entourage sneaked through tea and coffee plantations as he urged Kiambu residents to vote for him. "We are now on the right path and we should not change the rhythm. This is the right path to prosperity, he told supporters. Defence minister, Mr Njenga Karume, Assistant minister, Mr Kalembe Ndile and Kanu chairman, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, among others, accompanied him. To avoid the humiliation he suffered during his tour of Siakago constituency where supporters of rival candidates clashed, Kibaki declined to give any candidate a chance to address his rallies. There were fears in Githunguri that Karumes supporters and those of businessman, Mr Stanley Githunguri, would clash if either of them were preferred. Karume dwelt on presidential campaign matters when he spoke at Dumberi.
Under Nishimatsu, Japan Airlines Tries to Rise Above Legacy
An airplane fanatic and 18-handicap golfer who joined JAL one month after graduating from Tokyo University, he spent much of his career in the finance department before taking the helm in June 2006. Today, the 59-year-old CEO is pushing for change on multiple fronts to catch up with ANA. Hoping to win back some of the high-margin business it lost, JAL introduced domestic first-class service last month, offering a new menu every 10 days and leather seats that recline to an angle of 132 degrees. The carrier expects the new service to generate an additional four billion yen in annual revenue. Revenue in the last fiscal year was 2.3 trillion yen. JAL has been selling off a slew of assets it considers noncore, from hotels to a stake in a jet-maintenance business. It is reviewing bids for a minority stake in its successful JAL Card Inc.
