"...but the company will continue to roll out its "Younger for Longer" message over the course of five years to create brand awareness and excitement..."
I dunno, that theme could get pretty old in five years.
Maybe BP should just take the advice of that greatest of old athletes, Satchel Paige: "Don't look back — something might be gaining on you."
Melanie Morgan came to my attention several years ago after MAF and Howard Kaloogian (co-founder) sponsored a trip to Iraq, supposedly on the dime of those who donate to MAF. To support her claim that the "liberal media" was misrepresenting all the good work being done by US troops in Iraq they posted pictures of peaceful Iraqi streets where merchants were going about their business, no hint of all the terrible events being reported back home.
Unfortunately (for them) someone noticed that the shop windows contained no Arabic script. Upon closer scrutiny it was revealed that the picture was actually taken of a street up in Turkey and was quickly pulled down off the site it appeared on, with Kaloogian's explanation that it was just an honest mistake; that he'd stopped over in Turkey and mixed the pics up inadvertently. However his promise to post the "real" pics was followed by using photos taken from high up a building deep within the Green Zone. The shot was so distant and ambiguous in detail that streets were barely discernible, nevertheless what was taking place on them.
For me at least, this raised strong questions about the way donations they receive were being spent. Surely he - if he had them that is - could have posted a street scene from somewhere just outside the (Al Rashid?) Hotel without anyone being the wiser about exactly where it was taken? He must realize by now that most conservatives are so desperate to prove themselves right (and liberals wrong) that the <a href="http://www.wam.umd.edu/~hannahk/conservatism.html">cognitive dissonance</a> of having the pics came from within the Green Zone would be so jarring that it would likely never occur to most of them. But his inability to produce such pictures certainly raises questions over exactly what is happening to the money that MAF is <em>constantly</em> soliciting (I wound up having to cancel my MAF e-alert membership due the sheer volume...in spite of my curiosity into whatever new shenanigans she had dreamed up to get some publicity for herself and Howard's soon-to-be rebuffed political aspirations.
But now, to find out that MAF had been brought into the fold of the same administration that quipped about how "reality" is merely what they decide to make it, only confirms much of the findings revealed in the meta-study into right-wing conservatism's defining traits. This important study can be found <a href="http://www.wam.umd.edu/~hannahk/nfc.html">here</a> at the Maryland U Counter-Terrorism Panel's look into right-wing personality traits.
A young American is currently trying to establish a model organic farm in war-ridden Congo,where 5 million people died in past 10 yrs,due to ethnic conflicts.Armed with the knowledge,given by Mahatma Ghandhi and Srila Prabhupada,he is training desperate population,who recently had to eat rats and snakes,as food became less and less available.
Using only cow dung as fertiliser and ox power,he intends to prove that hunger can be eliminated,by implementing such villages all around the globe.
He wrote a thesis on self-sufficiency at the end of his studies,and was successful to convince the leaders of Congo government to give him a piece of land for his dear project.With a square kilometer of fertile land,soon,the population is working hard to grow their own vegetables,rice,nuts and also grow medicinal plants.
Sue to his project,former ennemies-Tutsies and Hutus-are now working hand in hand,forgetting the recent nightmarish events of yesterday.
In future, Alexander even intends to have local cloth made from cotton,as Ghandhi taught,but for now,such items have to be bought or donated.
The simple housing scheme are made with local bricks,and so the cost of such items are low,and much employment is created.It's the same for furniture and other household items,where bamboo and wood is used.
The cows,which are protected till death,according to the non-violent philosophy coming from Indian sages,produce all the milk required,and with such healthy diet,children are soon becoming happy and contented. Such projects should be
given a priority by those who wish to really help the poor.Sending grains from USA can be useful in emergency cases,but is it not best to train people how to be self-sufficient?
Contrary to the negative view of the white man in Africa,this young man is enjoying the company of local people,who see him as a saviour,and have great respect for him.I hope you will contact him as he deserves to get help,thanks!
This demonstrates, at least to some degree, the extent to which "mainstream media" operate in a way that makes them indistinguishable from how government-owned and -operated media would act. Watch the FCC-licenced chanels and you will never see a significant challenge to the Bush dictatorship, or the U.S. system in general. A controversial book such as this one, presenting a colourable case, should be discussed on these shows, and that it is not stems from fear of punishment from a regime that has repeatedly moved to silence dissent, for example closing down art exhibits critical of George W. Bush.
