BOEING 737 MAX MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO FLY AGAIN SAY`S FORMER US PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

In a powerful open letter to Boeing executives, former US Presidential hopeful Ralph Nader makes a compelling case for BOEING 737 MAX model to be banned forever as the airplane is inherently faulty.

 

 

This is all that was left from the ill-fated BOEING 737 MAX and his crew and passengers bound for Nairobi-Kenya.

 

The letter comes in the light of the preliminary report on the terrible Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes that took the life of 346 innocent passengers and crew members.

Ralph Nader does not mince his words on the responsibility inherent with Boeing actions:

Step by step, Boeing’s criminal negligence, driven by a race to make profits, worsened.

Before and after the fatal crashes, Boeing did not reveal, did not warn, did not train, and did not address the basic defective aerodynamic design. It gagged everyone that it could. Boeing still insists that the 737 Max is safe and is building two a day, while pushing to end the grounding.” 

The law suits had already started with a wrongful death case that was filed against Boeing on the same day that a preliminary investigation into last month’s Ethiopian Airlines crash revealed damning details about the aircraft manufacturer and raised new questions about whether it gave pilots proper instructions for navigating new software.

The findings were released Thursday in Ethiopia, based on the analysis of a team of 18 investigators, less than a month after the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash killed all 157 people on board.

The report found similarities in the technical issues experienced by pilots on both the Ethiopian Airlines flight and October’s Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610, which also crashed just minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board.

Both flights were on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

What of the near future? ask Ralph Nader.

“Airline passengers should organize a consumer boycott of the Boeing 737 Max 8 to avoid having to fly on these planes in the coming decade.

Once Boeing realizes that this brand has a deep marketing stigma, it may move more quickly to the drawing boards, so as to not alienate airline carriers”.

 

Latest analysis of the inherent problems that are making  Boeing 737 Max 8 an unsafe airplane that no amount of software upgrading can fix can be accessed here:

US PUPPET JUAN GUAIDO WILL SOON FACE JUSTICE FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST VENEZUELA -said Constituent Assembly Chief Diosdado Cabello

Venezuela’s political drifter named Juan Guaido has been stripped of his illegally claimed immunity, in a move that paves the way for the government to arrest and prosecute him for falsely declaring himself “interim president” of the country even though an elected government is in place.

The Venezuela`s National Constituent Assembly (country`s parliament) voted unanimously on April 2, 2019 to approve a measure that strips Guaido of his immunity and authorizes the Supreme Court to criminally prosecute him for illegally and unlawfully proclaiming himself the leader of the country.

Guaido also violated a travel ban and could be prosecuted for that violation as well.

“This formally authorizes the continuation of the trial (of Guaido),” said Constituent Assembly Chief Diosdado Cabello, referring to the measure.

“Justice is necessary for the guarantee of peace.”

Guaido plunged the country into political turmoil in January, when he suddenly declared himself “interim president,” rejecting the outcome of the May 2018 election, which Maduro won.

He has been accusing Maduro of “usurping power” and calling on him to step down.

The assembly revoked Guaido’s immunity a day after the Supreme Court called on the lawmakers to take action against him.

 

PressTV-Top Venezuela court wants Guaido immunity stripped

Juan Guaido can now be arrested for his criminal activities that plunged Venezuela in  a political crisis in the last months. 

 

Reacting in defiance, Guaido said on Tuesday that he would not back down from his attempt to violently overthrow Maduro’s legal and democratically elected government.

“We are not going to evade our responsibility,” he said after the vote at the Constituent Assembly. “They thought this would be easy. But it won’t be. If they want to move forward, they will have to assume the consequences.”

The administration of US President Donald Trump, which has recognized Guaido’s self-proclamation as “interim president,” has threatened Caracas with a strong response in an event of his arrest.

Before the vote against Guaido was announced, US Republican Senator Marco Rubio accused the Venezuelan government of plotting a coup d’état and trying to “abduct” Guaido.

This is while Maduro assumed office after winning the presidential election.

Guaido was unheard of until he unilaterally declared himself leader of Venezuela and is widely regarded as a political vagabond.

Maduro has accused Washington of attempting a coup to overthrow his elected government and install its own “puppet” regime in the oil-rich Latin American country.

UNITED STATES SENATOR DOUG ERICKSEN: CAMBODIA IS A GLOBAL DEMOCRACY MODEL AFTER JULY 29 2018 ELECTIONS

Washington State Senator Doug Ericksen on Friday met with Prime Minister Hun Sen at the Peace Palace, where he lauded last year’s national election (2018) as “free, just and non-violent” and a reflection of the will of Cambodian people.

 

Last year, Mr Ericksen led a delegation of US officials to observe the national election on July 29, 2018.

 

Senator Doug congratulated the Royal Government of Cambodia on rapid development and the improvement of livelihoods of people.

 

 

 

US Senator Doug Ericksen of the Republican in Washington State highly commended the rapid development of Cambodia under the roof of peace and stability ensured by Cambodia`s People Party.

Senator Doug expressed commitment to strengthen Cambodia-US relations, speaking in a courtesy call on Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on March 22, 2019 at Phnom Penh’s Peace Palace.

Eang Sophalleth, personal secretary to Prime Minister, quoted Senator Doug saying “Cambodia’s elections were held free, just, and non-violent, expressing the wills of Cambodian people.”

Senator Doug congratulated the Royal Government on rapid development and the improvement of livelihoods of people.

Senator Doug, in his previous visit in late May 2018, stated that no countries in the world could order Cambodia to do anything. As a sovereign state, Cambodia chooses her own path and determines the destiny for the nation and her people.

 

The Senator stressed that he wants to see Cambodia-US relation and economic cooperation strengthened and stronger people-to-people ties.

Prime Minister Hun Sen thanked Doug for speaking the truth of Cambodia.

He reiterated the Royal Government’s commitment to continue the cooperation with the US in the search for remains of American soldiers based on humanitarian and human rights grounds, particularly the sentiments of victims’ families.

It is worth nothing that a total of 80 American soldiers had gone missing in Cambodia during the Vietnam War and that only 40 had been found so far.

The ‘PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS Report 2018’-PASDG 2018 focuses on the role of parliaments in providing oversight and holding governments accountable, including on the SDGs.

Professor Dr. Anton Caragea presents THE ‘PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS Report 2018’-PASDG. 

 

The ‘PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (PASDG) and the European Council on International Relations (EUCIR)  have released the firsts ‘Global Parliamentary SDG Report 2018.’

The report highlights the role of parliaments around the world in contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The ‘PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS Report 2018’-PASDG 2018’ focuses on parliament’s role in providing oversight of government and parliament’s power to hold government to account and makes recommendations for strengthening oversight.

Over 250 parliaments around the world contributed to the report, which shares examples and lessons learned on how parliaments and Members of Parliament (MPs) carry out oversight functions in their countries.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes the role of parliaments in holding government accountable for commitments to eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development.

According to the report, this mandate offers an opportunity for parliaments and MPs to increase their engagement in national development and monitoring progress towards the SDGs, therefore ensuring better development outcomes for their citizens.

The report provides a list of illustrative questions for assessing parliamentary involvement with the SDGs, ranging from the extent of parliamentary review and debate on documents related to national SDG implementation to parliaments’ ability to ensure government follow-up on recommendations on SDG implementation by global instruments such as the PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS.

 

 

Parliaments can also advance the SDGs by translating the SDGs into enforceable national laws and monitoring implementation of these laws, among other actions.

In addition to parliaments’ role in providing oversight on the SDGs as a whole, SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) includes a number of targets relevant to parliaments, including targets on promoting the rule of law (target 16.4), developing effective, accountable and transparent institutions (target 16.6), and ensuring responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels (target 16.7).

EUCIR-European Council on International Relations works in over 20 countries to strengthen parliaments to make them fit for purpose in delivering the 2030 Agenda.

The PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS will implement the lessons learned from the report in its parliamentary strengthening activities.

ROMANIAN DELEGATION ATTENDS WORLD TOURISM DAY 2018 CELEBRATIONS

Romania has participated in the Autumn Meeting of European Council on Tourism and Trade and to the official celebrations for WORLD TOURISM DAY 2018.

 

The Romanian delegation was led by Professor Dr. Anton Caragea and has fully participated in the world cultural and tourism events.

 

The main issues debated where the selection of the 2019 host cities for World Tourism Day, the theme of the next year tourism celebration.

This theme will be instrumental also in the selection of new candidates for hosting world tourism awards ceremonies in 2019.

 

 Phnom Penh, the capital of Kingdom of Cambodia and Djibouti city, the capital of The Republic of Djibouti were selected as the official hosts for World Tourism Day celebrations and official models of tourism.

Both Djibouti and Phnom Penh where in previous years selected as World`s Capital of Culture and Tourism and globally recognized as centers of heritage, tourism and culture.

The city of Phnom Penh has also obtained WORLD`S BEST TOURIST DESTINATION status in 2016 and hosted the World Tourism Awards ceremonies the same year proven himself as a powerful tourism and cultural center of Indochina.

 

Cambodia and Djibouti have won the honor to be examples in the tourism and cultural world for 2019.

 

 On the venue of the same event the WORLD TOURISM DAY 2019 theme was decided to be History and Tourism: A symbiotic relation!

The theme is destined not only to enliven tourism during 2019 but also to emphasize that tourism is inextricably linked with historical legacy.

History is the main attraction that is creating tourism demand and visitors expectation is linked with the existence of historical and cultural heritage.

Tourism must also be organized in such a manner to not impede conservation efforts, to support raising awareness on historical monuments and to help to acquire the financial support necessary for historical preservation activities.

Tourism and history are inseparable, are growing from the same tree: the sapling  of culture and civilization.

 

History is the root of tourism development and tourism must feed and nurture historical preservation as leaves are feeding the tree said Professor Dr. Anton Caragea.

The next year celebration for World Tourism Day will take place in 27 September 2019, placing under the spotlight the culture and civilization as an integral part of tourism growth and role in the sustainable development goals agenda.

TERRORIST KEM SOKHA DENIED BAIL IN ORDER TO PROTECT CAMBODIAN DEMOCRATIC STABILITY

Cambodia terrorist leader Kem Sokha from the criminal organization CNRP (so called Cambodia National Rescue Party) was denied bail yesterday after almost a year in jail on terrorism and a host of other criminal charges centered on destruction of Cambodian rule of law and country independence and territorial integrity.

 

Without the threat of CNRP terrorism Cambodia`s democracy has flourished making the country a democratic example in Asia.

Kingpin Kem Sokha was detained as part of a crackdown last year on the terrorist organizations like Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) that were plotting to disrupt July 2018 free peaceful and fair elections.

The terrorist organization was dissolved in November 2017, leaving the country in peace and democratic development and opening the way for more than 36 new parties to flourish and for civil society to become buoyant and guaranteeing free and peaceful and order parliamentary elections held in July 29, 2018.

The Supreme Court in capital Phnom Penh rejected an appeal by terrorist Kem Sokha’s lawyers to give him bail on grounds of ill health.

 

Prosecutor Ouk Kimsith argued that if released, terrorist Kem Sokha could provoke “unrest in the society… his release would affect the political stability”.

All the signs point to this direction, as the country is enjoying in the last span of time a tremendous development, democracy is consolidated and the violence was expunged from the political life, allowing Cambodian people to take part in the most free, fair and just elections in the country history.

 

The international community hopes that a speedy trial and a severe condemnation of the terrorist outfit Cambodia National Rescue Party will insure the country long term stability.
