  The conclusion among British researchers is that the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals are stifled by one single road-block: The extremely high birth rates of the poorest African nations cannot be sustained.

  One has to give the Egyptian people credit for persisting for a real change. A real regime change will not come easily and when push comes to shove I am sure that much more bloodshed will occur. The structures that refuses to do the will of the people are well entrenched be it in Egypt, Honduras, Bahrain, or even the USA and they have no remorse in taking lives to achieve supremacy and control over the masses. Democracy is an illusion created to appease the will of the people. Democracy is only allowed when it coincides with the will of the elites… let’s get serious here and stop pretending that anything else is really going on.

To breathe the true air of freedom and democracy you need independent media lungs. Staffed with journalists and political observers not beholden to the status quo.
