GLOBAL WARNING FROM CHINA

Suniti

- 1 days and 9 hours ago

Voice of truth from the old wise are often unheeded and shouted out by the unwise and crooked ones with vested interests. This is what happened to Ã‚Â‘patriotic rebel’ Mr. George Fernandes when he said in our august parliament that China is Enemy No.1 as far as India is concerned. He was stating this with the full knowledge and calculations as the Defence Minister of India. Yet the leftists and left-overs from the Ã‚Â‘Hindi-Cheeni bhai bhai’ era lost no time in condemning his statement. The hard core leftists of India, whose national interests are always suspect, continue to attack his stand and is coercing the wobbly government in power to get more friendly with the enemy. China is a demon which is being let loose by the careless international community and the consequences can be highly damaging when we consider their cunning past and future requirements. People’s Republic of China (PRC) is almost certain to replace United States of America (USA) as the world’s biggest economy by the year 2015. It will be followed in the ladder by USA, India, Japan and Germany in that order. Economic power is fast replacing military might as the winning parameter for world power and PRC will soon start dictating its own terms in the new world order. China is a special country and it has several features that can bring about disastrous consequences for the world, especially its immediate neighbours. Perhaps the one and only way to survive a disaster is to become aware of it early enough and start preparing for its prevention or damage control. Chinese interests are definitely going to turn against India sooner or later, whatever we way look at it. Hegemony Fifth Columns Someone rightly said that future wars will be fought for water and not for oil or gold. With the ill effects of global warming setting in much earlier than expected, it is definitely going to make matters worse. Snowing in Arabian Peninsula, unlimited number of cyclones and typhoons in America and unprecedented extent of snowing in China are going to make the strategy planners sit up in these parts of the world. Water for everyday life is as important as air and the most affected nations know their increasing requirements in the wake of global warming. Chinese strategists must be definitely looking for an entry into tropical areas with access to warmer seas. Their doubletalk about the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India is proof enough for this. They know that a democratic diversity like India is weak and its rulers (like Nehru) can be easily fooled. In this background India can forget its 1962 experience only at its own peril. A much more stronger and unchallenged China can easily rip through Arunachal Pradesh and redraw its borders overnight. Then it is only West Bengal or Bangladesh that stands in its way to the Bay of Bengal. A vast majority of Maoists, Leninists, Marxists and what not, which are thriving in these parts of the world will make it easier for China to cut its glorious corridor to warm waters. No UN and no USA will come to the help of India at this juncture. Though Chinese themselves have given up Communism, it has been carefully cultivating the growth of leftist offshoots in many parts of the Asian sub-continent. All such apparently disparate groups will come together as the fifth column for the Chinese army when it wants to reach the bay. We must also bear in mind that Myanmar is much more close to China than to India. World Policeman Democracy All those who can think independently about the future of this planet will agree on the need to have a responsible world leadership and world policeman. Of course we can always cherish and nurture our hopes for a just and equitable United Nations which bestows equal status for all world nations; but it will always remain a desirable target. Whenever there is a world crisis and we need some one to take decisions, the whole world looks up to UN. And its organizational mechanism has always risen to the occasion in arriving at some sound decisions. But when it comes to the difficult part of its implementation, it is always the strongest nation that can do something. During cold war era we had options, but it is not the case anymore. Like it or not, the world policeman is USA now. But it may not be the case forever. There is a growing dislike for anything and everything American among various sections of world society for various reasons. This is bound to translate into all transactions and business between nations. The role of China becomes very important in this scenario. With its seemingly unbiased stand on almost all world issues, China is slowly and steadily pushing out USA in every sphere. Chinese rulers are utilizing its unique low cost production advantage to its fullest use in replacing USA as the preferred trading partner for all nations except its rivals. Sooner or later this is bound to reflect in the health of US economy and its position as a world policeman. A strong and resurgent China is bound to punch out USA from the world ring in not so distant future. We have everything to lose in this scenario. No Indian and no Japanese will sleep peacefully after China anoints itself as the world policeman. The whole world must realize that it is better to have a democracy as world policeman rather than a pseudo-communist monolith. If the policeman is misbehaving there is at least a chance to correct it by voting out the incumbent leaders. But an undefined political setup like what exists in China can become dangerously robotic and inhuman. China has certain unique characteristics in terms of its race, religion, culture and nationalism. It will be another dose of Nazism, but of a much more frightening scale. Millions and millions of lives will be required to end the rule of a Chinese Hitler. It is not too late now, but only if we can heed to the voice of wise men and visionaries.

http://charismamag.com/articles/index.php?id=5807 Pearson's Gospel of Inclusion' Stirs Controversy Carlton Pearson may have lost his bid for a shot at the mayor's office in Tulsa, Okla., because of his belief in a controversial theology known as the "gospel of inclusion," which states that everyone is saved--they just don't know it. Pearson is a conservative Republican and founder of the 4,500-member, multiracial Higher Dimensions Family Church in Tulsa. He claims he failed to win the primary in February due to his belief in "inclusion" theology, which also questions the existence of a literal hell. "The Christian turnout is usually 15 percent," Pearson, 48, said of local elections in Tulsa. "But some of them just didn't vote at all because they weren't sure that they should risk putting somebody like me in office." Protestant theology teaches that man is separated from God by sin and destined for hell, unless he believes in Jesus' redemptive work. Pearson said he first started thinking about the inclusive doctrine after reading E.W. Kenyon's writings more than 25 years ago. Pearson has been preaching the controversial view for three years. "A careful study of what I have taught will reveal that it is entirely scriptural, logical and theologically sound," Pearson told Charisma. The Tulsa Beacon reported that Pearson has been confronted over his teaching by televangelists John Hagee, Marilyn Hickey and his mentor, Oral Roberts. Roberts, Hagee and Hickey declined to comment about the matter. However, Pearson claimed that fellow black preachers, including Dallas pastor T.D. Jakes, are familiar to some extent with inclusionism. "These are my friends," Pearson said. "They discern my heart, even though they may not discern my head. They're not bothered by this." Jakes, however, told Charisma that he repudiates Pearson's views as heresy. "While I do consider Carlton Pearson to be a friend, I believe his theology is wrong, false, misleading and an incorrect interpretation of the Bible," Jakes said in a statement. "Carlton...improperly characterizes me as not being 'bothered' by this. I am both bothered and troubled by this teaching and with any implication that I support or in any way agree with it." Jakes added: "While I certainly agree that Christ died for everyone, I do not believe that we are automatically saved, but that we must be 'born again' by believing in and personally accepting Jesus Christ." But Pearson said he is not picking a fight. "I am open to counsel and...correction from those I feel accountable to in the body of Christ," he said. Eric Tiansay

Nigerian city counts its dead after days of Christian-Muslim riots

Thousands of people fled their homes in the city after rival mobs burned houses, shops, and several churches and mosques in the worst sectarian violence in the country since 2004. /ppWitnesses said sporadic gunfire could still be heard yesterday morning, as the army patrolled the city following a 24-hour curfew, during which soldiers had orders to shoot on sight. /pp"The situation ... is gradually returning to normal," Brigadier Emeka Onwuamaegbu told Agence France-Presse. "There've not been any cases this morning of any destruction or violence."/ppA police spokesman said there were "many dead" but there has been no official confirmation of the number killed. /ppThe violence was triggered by elections in Plateau state, where Jos is the capital. It sits at the fertile crossroads between Nigeria's Christian south and Muslim north, and has a history of religious strife. /ppThe mainly Christian-backed People's Democratic party, which currently holds federal power, was reported to have won the poll - the first in Jos in more than a decade - on Thursday. But supporters of the All Nigeria People's party, which has strong Muslim support, suspected vote-rigging after the official results were not posted at the ballot counting centres./ppClashes between gangs of Hausa Muslims and mostly Christian Beroms began on Thursday night and continued into Saturday afternoon. Security forces were deployed from neighbouring states to try to quell the violence. /ppPatrolling on foot and in armoured personnel carriers, the soldiers detained more than 500 people. The road from the north was blocked and flights to the city cancelled. Local religious and ethnic leaders made appeals for calm on the radio./ppMurtala Sani Hashim, who was responsible for registering bodies brought to the main mosque in Jos, said yesterday that the tally of the dead was 367. The Jos University Teaching Hospital had received 25 bodies, and 154 injured people. "Gunshot wounds, machete injuries - those are the two main types," said Dr Aboi Madaki, the hospital's director of clinical services./ppDan Tom, a Nigerian Red Cross official, said some bodies had not yet been cleared off the streets. "Over 10,000 people have been displaced from their homes and are now seeking refuge in churches, mosques, and army and police barracks," he said. /ppCommunal violence in Nigeria, which has a roughly equal population of Christians and Muslims, is often inflamed by the country's rough politics. Local elections are always tense because state authorities control huge budgets. /ppBut competition for resources at an individual level is often the main cause of clashes. In Nigeria's "middle belt", tensions have been simmering for years between mainly Christians and animist minority groups, regarded as indigenous to the area, and Hausa settlers and migrants from the Muslim north. In 2001, 1,000 people died in sectarian fighting in Jos./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/nigeria"Nigeria/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/christianity"Christianity/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/islam"Islam/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/religion"Religion/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/FzQQpryHnRqCR-bCPwyQSHiLLFw/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/FzQQpryHnRqCR-bCPwyQSHiLLFw/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

For the Benedictine nuns of the Conventus of Our Lady of Consolation, this vision will be powered by the solar panels of their new home, an environmentally sensitive monastery being built in the North York Moors national park./ppNext year the nuns will bid farewell to the Victorian splendour of Stanbrook Abbey in rural Worcestershire to live in a monastery with rainwater harvesting, reedbed sewage systems, sedum roofs, recycled material, a woodchip boiler and responsibly-sourced timber./ppUpheaval is not new to the community, which has had five homes in its 385-year history, including an 18-month stretch behind bars during the French revolution. Prompting this latest move is the 21st-century phenomenon of downsizing. An overall decline in Catholic vocations has left the community with just 22 professed nuns and two novices, who between them are responsible for the maintenance and overheads of a 20- acre site. /ppAccording to Dame Andrea Savage, the abbess at Stanbrook, manual labour was overtaking monasticism. /pp"We're running a big building, spending thousands of pounds that we don't have on looking after the place and heating it with oil and gas, which isn't good for the environment. We're here for the monastic life and it is being impinged on," she said. /pp"Stanbrook Abbey was built for the time, they didn't have heating. They had one tap and no bathrooms. It's been adapted since but it's still too big for us and we're not museum curators."/ppIn a brief to the architects, the nuns stated their vision for their new premises. In addition to being sensitive to environmental concerns, a monastery for women should "contain some natural curved surfaces and shapes". The new building, designed by the 2008 Stirling prizewinners Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, will allow them to live simply. There will be broadband-ready bedrooms for up to 30 nuns, a church, library and ancillary buildings. It also incorporates a retreat for up to 15 guests as hospitality is common to Benedictine traditions. The nuns will be in harmony with the heritage of their surroundings, studded with the ruins of Whitby, Rievaulx and Byland abbeys and Mount Grace Priory. "We are supposed to love creation and respect the environment. We're living in and taking care of it," said Savage. /ppThe fate of the old monastery is unclear. In 2002 the nuns decided to sell the Grade II listed property for pound;5m but to their disappointment it is still on the market. They wished to direct the proceeds of a sale towards their new home and want to save it from being converted into flats, hotels or spas. One nun suggested it would make a nice open prison. /ppWith months to go before the move and with lots of packing to do before then, the abbey's corridors are lined with boxes, discarded furniture, abandoned wheelchairs and piles of disparate objects. Several sales have shed some of the clutter accumulated over the years. The monastery's cat named Britney, after the pop singer, is unfazed by the bustle./ppSister Maria, 79, entered aged 18. She said she was not as sad about leaving the building as she was about saying goodbye to friends./pp"The village has grown around us to some extent. It is getting noisier and noisier," she said. "Up there it is much more unspoilt. We hope to fit into the spirit of the place."/ppThey have enjoyed the experience of working with the architects, with a committee of five nuns informing the two parties of developments. The admiration is mutual./ppGill Smith, of Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, said the nuns were "very clued up" about what they wanted from their new monastery. "They were very specific about wanting a sense of space and tranquillity. They also wanted to trade down and live in something that was manageable, comfortable and suitable for the 21st century," she said./pp"These clients are naturally parsimonious, they're not into buying and consuming like we are and they have a great respect for the natural environment. It's been a privilege working with them. They're so charming and they're quite good fun."/ppIdeas for green features came from both sides, she added./pp"They'd done their research on the internet and there are techniques that we've used that we were able to suggest. It's quite a creative relationship."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/catholicism"Catholicism/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/religion"Religion/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/solarpower"Solar power/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/ethicalliving"Ethical living/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/greenbuilding"Green building/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/asdqGH3XFLPOpy3rvQf0wkFk80c/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/asdqGH3XFLPOpy3rvQf0wkFk80c/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p
