The Global Jihad

Radical fundamentalists are on the march under the banner of Jihad in Nigeria, Mali, Kenya, Somalia, Central African Republic, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. In Libya, the state has practically collapsed as contending factions of radical Islamists slug it out with tanks, anti-aircraft guns, AK 47s and rocket-propelled grenades. In Egypt, an audacious attempt by the Muslim Brotherhood to convert post-Mubarak popular aspirations for freedom and democracy into a brazen push for an Iran-style Islamic Republic dominated by Mullahs was thwarted only by the resolve of the Egyptian people and the alliance of the military, media, bureaucrats and judges who preferred a secular republic. Both Algeria and Tunisia only barely survived a similar, post-Arab “Spring” take-over by radical fundamentalists.

Japanese Scientists Develop 30 Minutes Ebola Test

Japanese researchers said Tuesday they had developed a new method to detect the presence of the Ebola virus in 30 minutes, with technology that could allow doctors to quickly diagnose infection.

Professor Jiro Yasuda and his team at Nagasaki University say their process is also cheaper than the system currently in use in west Africa where the virus has already killed more than 1,500 people.

"The new method is simpler than the current one and can be used in countries where expensive testing equipment is not available," Yasuda told AFP by telephone.

"We have yet to receive any questions or requests, but we are pleased to offer the system, which is ready to go," he said.

Money is Idea

Understand this, whatever is it that you are taught in the higher institution, when you come out of this institution and you are to get a job; the only thing the certificate will do for you is to qualify you for a test or an interview.

All that you spent your nights, days, evenings for, all that it will do for you is to qualify you for a job interview.

The real things we need in life were not thought in school. Many graduated from school and begin to live a nonsensical life because they have no understanding of how to live their lives and succeed financially.

The mentality sold to us in school is “Graduate and look for job” what a slavery mentality!

You can never be richer or wealthier than the company you are working. Wealth is not classified by the number of cars, houses, clothes, petrol stations you have. The petrol station can be gutted. You must be wealthy financially.

The way this world is going, they are training us to become a slave. Collecting that certificate from school is what introduced us to a true world of slavery.
