| History's Hangover: King Alcohol & The Prime Minister... | | 2008-08-14 22:37:00 | | "For centuries, our ancestors unleashed the dogs of war under the influence of a fog of boozeThe conspiracy theorists were right all along – well, nearly. There was a single entity behind the course of Western history, a single force which has controlled the people and influenced the leaders and decision-makers for the past 12,000 years. This entity wasn’t a mysterious secret group – no Illuminati, no Knights Templar, and not even David Icke’s lizards get a look in.It was alcohol.Before the 19th century and the beginnings of a reliable and clean water supply, the Western world made its water safe by turning it into alcoholic drinks. The addition of ethyl alcohol to water kills many of the pathogens and thus, through the brewing and vintner industries, a clean and reliable source of liquid refreshment could be obtained.Beer was almost certainly a staple of man’s diet before the arrival of bread, being produced for at least the last 12,000 years. It is usually noted that the b... | | By: VioletPlanet | | |
| | Prime Minister Fukuda Should Be Blamed? | | 2008-07-16 10:46:00 | | I have been complaining for almost 2 weeks already on why the air-conditioning units in our faculty room has not ever been opened. Do you know why?A month ago, Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda announced that they are aiming to lessen carbon dioxide emissions in Japan by 2020. The result? He ordered all government facilities to keep the air-conditioning units to not lower than 25 degrees Celsius or to not turning on at all. The effect? Well, some inconvenience on most employees, students and stakeholders of most government offices. Japan has been recently very fanatic about minimizing C02 emissions. Well, good. But at a terrible inconvenient price. Temperature here during summer swells up to 40.5. Yesterday, plastic coverings in a pipe fittings in a parking lot melted due to extreme temperature. I was terribly sweating two (2) days ago because of PM Fukuda's initiative. Yet, despite this, how can the government attain its goal if most government offices are open during weekends and beyond 6P... | | By: Rey Ian\\\\\\\'s Personal Blog | | |

| Former Vietnam Prime Minister H.E. Vo Van Kiet dies | | 2008-06-11 08:12:17 | | It is a sad news as our former Vietnam Prime Minister H.E. Vo Van Kiet, a major force behind economic reforms started in the late 1980s, died on Wednesday, his family said. He was 85. Relatives said he died in a Singapore hospital of acute pneumonia and his body would be returned to Vietnam. Born on November 23, 1922, in the southern Mekong Delta, Kiet served as prime minister from 1991 until he stepped down to be replaced by his former deputy Phan Van Khai in September 1997. In his term as premier, and as the most senior southerner in the ruling Communist Party and government, Kiet was a leader in the Southeast Asian country's market-oriented economic reforms in the late 1980s and 1990s which started to replace a failed Soviet-style system. This news has just been released in some newspapers and magazines. I have not heard the official announcement from the Government of Vietnam or TV. God Bless Him and his soul will soon be on the paradise.

| | | Prime Minister subsidises petrol importers | | 2008-02-13 04:43:00 | | Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has issued a directive to compensate the financial losses of petroleum importers in a bid to ease their business conditions.Under the directive, the Prime Minister asked the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to compensate the losses of enterprises that imported oil in 2006 and 2007.According to the directive, the State would not compensate losses for gasoline imports in 2007, but the MoF would instead consider delaying import tariffs on gasoline till global prices decrease to a level which would allow importers to recoup last year’s losses.The Prime Minister also asked both the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to grant importers the right to determine domestic petrol prices subject to the volatility of the global price under provisions set out in Decree 55/ND-CP.Experts said that compensation was difficult due to the State’s limited financial resources. Last year, the State failed to recover 8 trillion VND (500 million USD) in losses... | | By: Vietnam Business Finance News | | |
| | Putin Ready to Be Medvedev's Prime Minister | | 2007-12-17 08:52:00 | | Like Batman and Robin, Bush and Cheney, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, Sancho Panza and Don Quixote, Festus and Marshal Dillon, Burns and Allen, chocolate and peanut butter, and, well you get the idea. Medvedev and Putin are part of a team."If Russian citizens express their confidence in Dmitry Medvedev and elect him as the country's president, I will be ready to head the government," Putin told a congress of his United Russia party held near Moscow's Red Square."(We) shouldn't be ashamed or afraid of transferring the key powers of the country, the destiny of Russia to the hands of such a man," he added.Of course, the real reason that Putin nominated Medvedev has nothing to do with all the speculated political intrigues and loyalties. The real reason is Medvedev is the only man in the Kremlin shorter than Putin. Save to del.icio.us

| | Morocco's new prime minister | | 2007-10-13 21:13:00 | | Abbas el FassiSome have described Abbas el Fassi as the man who gets elected between transitional phases; he was elected as the ambassador to France during a time when the relationship between Paris and Rabat was undergoing transformation. Likewise, el Fassi was elected as secretary-general of Istiqlal party in 1998 following in the footsteps of Allal al Fassi and the influential Mohamed Boucetta. In the same vein, el Fassi’s appointment by King Mohammed VI as the sixth prime minister of Morocco after Driss Jettou (2002-2007) and before him the socialist Abderrahmane Youssoufi, heralds the advent of a new phase, one that al Fassi stresses must head in the direction towards democratization and development. - Mohammed Bukhazar writing for Asharq AlwasartMorocco has a new prime minister, Abbas el Fassi, Secretary-General of the Istiqlal (Independence) party.

| | Putin's Hudsucker Proxy - Zubkov Nominated for Prime Minister | | 2007-09-12 09:27:00 | | Recent news reports have Vladimir Putin accepting the resignation of Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov today and nominating virtual unknown financial monitor Victor Zubkov for Prime Minister. State Duma Speaker Boris Gryzlov says the lower house could vote on Zubkov for PM as soon as this Friday.Speculation has been that Putin's annointed choice for the next elected President would be nominated as Prime Minister first. This would indicate a path to the presidency that Putin traveled, as he was similarly nominated as Prime Minister by Boris Yeltsin. With the recent resignation of Fradkov, rampant speculation was either Sergei Ivanov or Dmitri Medvedev would be nominated.However, I had been pointing out in other forums for weeks now that if Putin plans a return to the presidency in 2012, it would serve his purposes to nominate someone less powerful and entrenched than either Ivanov or Medvedev. After all, why would either one of those candidates step aside for Putin 2012? And wouldn't a s... | | By: The Accidental Russophile | | |

| | Portugese Prime-Minister Goes for a Run on Red Square | | 2007-05-30 06:18:00 | | During his visit to Moscow, Portuguese prime-minister Jose Socrates went for a run Tuesday morning on Red Square of all places, as Kommersant reports. Flanked by ten security personnel in Portuguese colors Mr. Socrates made several laps around St. Basil's Cathedral and the History museum jogging past the mausoleum which still is host to Vladimir Lenin.According, to Portuguese journalists, polled by the Kommersant correspondent, the jogging on the world's most important "squares" is not an unusual tradition for the Portuguese prime-minister. The Red Square has recently been positioned by the Russian government as a tourist-friendly destination, set to counter the general perception of it as a place for Soviet military parades. Although still being a host to annual Victory Day parades, it no longer hosts heavy weaponry, and is open for access to the public. In the winter-time a part of it is transformed into a public skating rink, which is often visited by Russian president Putin.It is... | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |
| | 300,000 Turks protest possible run for president by Islamic-rooted prime minister | | 2007-04-21 17:35:00 | | (International Herald Tribune).- Protesters draped themselves in the flag and poured into the capital's streets and squares, calling on the government to resign and chanting slogans including, "We don't want an imam as president". Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan represents a challenge to secularists' traditional approach to government in this 99-percent Muslim country. Many fear that if he or someone close to him wins the presidency, the government will be able to implement an Islamist agenda without opposition. But with Erdogan's popularity and firm control over parliament, his opponents may have little power to stop him if he does decide to run. His party was elected to an overwhelming majority in parliament and can appoint whomever it wants to the presidency.More... | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |
