UN Immunity? UN Boondoggle?

Should any person, any organization be granted worldwide status above human law? The dangers of this high privilege and immunity are obvious, and the risks unnecessary.

If United Nations (UN) staff cannot follow the sovereign laws of the nations in which they operate, then at the very least make them answerable to the laws of countries of their origin or the laws of the nation where the UN is headquartered, perhaps all three (country operating in, country of origin and country of UN administrative headquarters) would be best.

Cheers for your consideration. May all beings find true liberty and true happiness and the causes of true liberty and true happiness.

Yearning to meddle in far flung lands with good intentions yet few to no language and culture skills?

Foreign agents, especially aid workers, please study a local language and culture in depth if yearning (and before attempting) to intervene and meddle in a far flung land.

Otherwise, please consider another career as international intervention might very well end up doing the opposite of any good intentions. That is, despite meaning well, interference might actually do more harm than good...lethal harm to a long suffering people whose oppressors are often abetted unwittingly by aid. That is, corrupt, dysfunctional elements of the ruling status quo are often abetted by aid funds.

Social Brownie Points and Virtue Signalling?

Leonardo DiCaprio begs humanity to stop the biggest #climate polluters…hmmm, examples of big polluters? How about Leo DiCaprio, Ted Turner III, Al Gore? Ironically, they are barking  loudly about the climate while playing with #privatejets #yachts #mansions.... #yolo #irony.

Above and beyond these prancing boobs, many climate advocates plead about taking action while absurdly subsidizing the ecocidal factory farming and fishing industries with their own mouths and wallets. 

That is, meat and fishing industries are among the most potent and toxic destroyers of the environment (keeping in mind that the environment has a direct and immediate impact on #climate) with species extinction, deforestation, fresh water depletion, ocean dead zones and more. 

If a person truly wants to make a difference, then look no further than the breakfast/lunch/dinner plate and the meat and fishing industries that supply it.

Cheers for your kind consideration. Continued reading found here, Power of You

Biggest Killers on the Planet...and the losers are...

According to +AlterNet (link: https://twitter.com/AlterNet/status/711915414217838592 ) Noam Chomsky suggests "Republicans are a danger to the human species."

Chomsky is often dead on, but are there bigger dangers?

Of 260+ million non-combatant deaths homicides (including the elderly, women and children) last century, according to research at the University of Hawaii, the following chart has the statistics of mass destruction:

Public Self-Service

How can anyone amass hundreds of millions of dollars (230 million by a Forbes estimate, link below) with virtually a whole career in the government? Is this a public servant or master?

Never owned a business...never headed a business...net worth in millions...

Dhirdo Power 24 Hour?!

Savor a heaping taste of quintessential Nepali fare... beyond daal-bhat tarakari which is a heaping plate of rice with lentil soup and curried vegetables is a lesser know but equally delicious, Nepali dish known as dhirdo . 

Dhirdo is a heaping plate of puréed corn or millet mash typically served with lentil soup and curried vegetables (ingredients for dhirdo and daal-bhat-tarkari are locally sourced and farm fresh).

Accompany the tasty Himalayan fare with a classic Nepali beverage...chiyaa (sweet black or milk tea); fermented spirits include chyang (not distilled) and raksi (distilled) from locally grown maize, rice, millet and sometimes fruit...indispensable for entertaining guests (including you?!)

If you would like to savor your own plate of Himalayan fare and enjoy a mug or two of local spirits along with it, then please contact a Himalayan specialist soon at neohorizontravels@gmail.com.
