Missionaries in Africa - Words of Wisdom for Women

nospam@example.com (Paul F. Davis) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 00:42:01 -0500

Words of wisdom for a woman in Africa, don't give your address and money to people haphazardly. Simultaneously for your personal safety, sometimes (when necessary) it might be good to get out of sticky situations to give a hint that you might be interested in "supporting" (need not say financial, though that is the implication) the work of whoever ....when you get back to the U.S. and confer with your board of directors (whoever that may be, mom, dad, etc. :o) who hold and control the money. That way you are not seen as money bags and a source to pilfer from and you are treated respectfully (quite possibly more so over the duration of your stay) if there is a possibility in one's mind of you later financing their work.

No obligation to finance anyone or anything, but sometimes the mere hint of such (when the answer to "Who are you with?" is not some huge and financially able organization) can enable you to curry favor with internationals afar and more quickly move you along (or simultaneously slow you down if people or organizational leaders want to keep you for themselves and not share the blessing). Hence by mindful of the undercurrent and mixed motives throughout your dealings with people and work it to your advantage to serve your mission and bless the people and not be slowed by the bureaucracy layered in organizations hungry for monetary support.

I trust you understand the spirit of what I'm saying. Love and serve people, but know how "the game" is played abroad and the expectations ...and sometimes mixed motives you have to sort through to get where you want to .....to bless who you're going for.

Louds Mouths - Communication Secrets Pertaining to Volume

nospam@example.com (Paul F. Davis) — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 16:04:46 -0500

Beware of loud mouths and don't give them much attention.

As for loud mouths ...Usually the louder the voice, the less substance in the content of what is being communicated. People with wisdom don't have to shout to be heard, people want to listen to them.

Persecution Means You're on the Right Track

nospam@example.com (Paul F. Davis) — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 16:00:40 -0500

When people persecute you, rejoice and know you're on the right track having aroused jealousies and provoked their insecurities. Stay focused. Persecution is free publicity that exposes your enemies. Bring it on!

Facebook Social Networking Marketing Platform Will Be Eclipsed

nospam@example.com (Paul F. Davis) — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:32:54 -0500

Facebook does not allow videos that '...are threatening, or attack an individual or group
will also be taken down. We also remove videos that are not of a personal
nature....posting objectionable content..."

/help/?faq=1550

In other words Facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/help/?page=39 doesn't care if corporations rip you off and make merchandise of you. Facebook will not let you voice your complaints on their website. Hence over 100 videos I posted on Facebook, 99% of a personal nature, all were removed and the video platform disabled.

Facebook doesn't mind all the goofy gadgets on their site that they can monetize and make merchandise of you by, but God forbid don't rock the boat and post anything 'objectionable' or ever state your opinion (or convictions about any companies like these below).

Thankfully YouTube doesn't cave and cower to corporation nation and still loves the people more than the corporations who pay for adverts on their site. Not Facebook, which is why I predict Facebook social networking marketing platform will soon be eclipsed by something better!

Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons

nospam@example.com (Paul F. Davis) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:45:07 -0500

Case Summary, by Paul F Davis

Facts:

‘In 1992, a number of prominent NGOs committed to the elimination of
nuclear weapons joined together to form the World Court Project. Their
goal was to elicit an opinion from the ICJ declaring that the use of
nuclear weapons would be illegal in all circumstances’ (501). The word ‘all’ though just three letters, is of huge importance here.

‘In 1993, after a vigorous lobbying campaign, the World
Court Project and its supporters persuaded the World Health Organization
(WHO) to solicit an advisory opinion from the Court’ (501). ‘The
following year, in Resolution 49/75K, the UN General Assembly also
requested an advisory opinion’ on whether “the threat or use of nuclear
weapons in any circumstance” is “permitted under international law?”
(501) Again another powerfully important three letter word, “any”, makes all the difference in the ruling (or lack thereof) of the Court on the matter.

“In 1996, the ICJ declined to answer the question posed
by the WHO on the ground that it was outside the scope of the
organization’s activities’ (501). Judge Oda felt the Court should not
even render an opinion on the matter given the ‘General Assembly’s
request’ was ‘generated by NGO activists working with states to obtain a
particular result on a highly sensitive political issue’ (501).

Yet most judges properly concluded ‘the motivations
driving states to support the request for an advisory opinion’ (501) are
not the concern of the Court, neither are grounds to deny their request
for a ruling or to render at the very least an opinion on ‘highly
controversial’ matters.

Understandably the judges from powerful Western states
with nuclear weapons at their disposal (or the disposal of their allies)
were more apt to think the Court was going too far (506) and
potentially intruding on states’ ‘right to resort to self-defense, in
accordance with Article 51 of the Charter, when its survival is at
stake’ (505) – a view which would uphold the legality of nuclear weapons
under special circumstances.

Equally understandable and fervent in their precaution
were judges from the developing world who viewed the Court ‘as not going
far enough’ (506) pertaining to the illegality of nuclear weapons.

Law:

Several questions are implicitly and explicitly being
brought to the Court for consideration. Should the ICJ decline to offer a
legal ruling or its opinion on ‘political’ issues that also relate to
international war? If war or anything else of international legal
significance is labeled ‘political’ should the ICJ refuse to rule on it
or at the very least offer its opinion?

The chief question of the utmost importance: “Is the threat or use of
nuclear weapons in any circumstance permitted under international law?”
(501) Another matter of consideration for the Court was ‘whether other
treaties prohibit the threat or use of nuclear weapons’ (502).

Without ‘a conventional rule of general scope’, the Court also
wrestled with the question ‘whether recourse to nuclear weapons must be
considered as illegal in the light of the principles and rules of
international humanitarian law applicable in armed conflict and of the
law of neutrality’ (504).

Application / Holding:

Cleverly, the Court itself used a powerful
three-letter word, ‘any’, in its decision. ‘The Court considers that it
does not have sufficient elements to enable it to conclude with
certainty that the use of nuclear weapons would necessarily be at
variance with the principles and rules of law applicable in armed
conflict in any circumstance’ (505).

‘By a vote of 7 to 7, the Court held that: the threat or
use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the rules of
international law applicable in armed conflict…. However, in view of the
current state of international law, and of the elements of fact at its
disposal, the Court cannot conclude definitively whether the threat or
use of nuclear weapons would be lawful or unlawful in an extreme
circumstance of self-defense, in which the very survival of a State
would be at stake’ (506).

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) most likely
refused to rule that nuclear weapons are illegal and impermissible
(although it is widely known they destroy and jeopardize the lives of
countless innocents) because had they rendered such a ruling, the ICJ
would have risked its own institutional credibility when the nuclear
armed states (typically the powers that be in the international
community) disregarded the rule and continued to use nuclear weapons
anyhow.

Guayaquil, Ecuador: Words of Wisdom for Travelers and Expats

nospam@example.com (Paul F. Davis) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:45:19 -0500

The CIA are involved in some sketchy things arguably themselves. Nevertheless the only place in the world out of 60 countries where I have traveled to ...where I was robbed was Guayaquil, Ecuador and that on Easter Sunday while I was ministering in a village out of the city and they broke in my Pastor's 3 story home and stole my two new suits, garment bag and other U.S. missionaries passports, etc. Everyone I met (well educated Ecuadorians) told me they all have or knew someone who had been held up at gunpoint in those years while in their car...as many of their cars had been stolen. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is part of the reality of Ecuador. Hopefully now things have improved now that the Ecuadorian gov't is dealing with the IMF to get the economy back on track.
