In response Indian officials suggested that Pakistan’s move was an empty ploy that ignored the real problem between the two countries. According to New Delhi even if the captured pilot were returned home, there would be no chance “to go back to zero” and easing tensions would be impossible until Pakistan acted against terrorist groups that it has been using as proxies against India. • Prime Minister Imran Khan reiterated the importance of the Kashmir issue which lies at the roots of all bilateral issues between India and Pakistan. On February 27, 2019, the Indian government summoned the Pakistani Envoy and handed over a demarche demanding the “immediate and safe return” of the captured pilot. The US, China, Britain and other world powers have urged restraint on both sides as tensions continue to escalate between India and Pakistan. Meanwhile, Turkey said that it supports Pakistan’s position, and rejected the accusations leveled by India on Pakistan that it was behind the Pulwama attack. • There is now growing unease within Pakistan that tensions may lead to war given the Modi government’s aggressive posturing. Meanwhile India has suffered glaring contradictions during the past few days.

  • ALL the QUEEN's AGENTS & CORPORATIONS the Queen's
    ALL THE QUEEN’S AGENTS & CORPORATIONS The Queen’s Prerogative English law prohibits questioning the Monarchy about their personal holdings and business. This is true of most of Europe’s royalty, whether enthroned or not. The wealth of the Monarchies is held outside of the countries that made the wealth. The British Crown’s offshore banks hold the greatest personal wealth in the world estimated at $35 trillion. Perhaps the British Crown still owns and controls its Commonwealth Nations, including the American “colonies.” Monarchies are not supposed to be warlord bankers who create conflict and chaos to turn a profit or destabilize an economy for personal gain. But they have been for some time now, and history is a string of immoral wars caused by monarchies, the Vatican and other religions. Untold millions have died while kings and popes lived on to grab the wealth through well-established institutions that were created to control the people of the Earth. The Commonwealth of Nations, headed by Queen Elizabeth II, is made up of 53 nations, spanning the globe, accounting for one-fifth of the land mass of the Earth, and a very high percentage of its strategic resources and population. The Queen is a Knight of Malta and has vowed allegiance to the Pope through the largest insider trading club on the planet. The British Crown Agents are, in fact, also agents of the Vatican’s Knights of Malta. The Queen is a Knight of Malta The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) took control of the power and wealth of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon from within the Roman system.

  • The Realization of the Autostrada A1 in Poland: a Discussion of Spatial Implications
    THE REALIZATION OF THE AUTOSTRADA A1 IN POLAND: A DISCUSSION OF SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS BY DEVON M. LECHTENBERG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Julie Cidell ABSTRACT The Autostrada A1 is a highway currently under construction in Poland. The Autostrada A1 will connect two major Polish ports on the Baltic Sea with industrial areas in the south of the country. Together with the construction of other major highways such as the A2, A3, and A4, it will form a network the significance of which for Poland is paralleled by the Interstate Highway system in the United States and the Autobahn network in Germany. I would suggest that almost every effect that the Autostrada A1 or its realization has had or will have on its environment carries spatial implications. Economic and demographic patterns will likely be significantly affected by the presence of a new north-south highway in Poland. The Autostrada A1 itself, the process to build it, and the transformed government and legal regimes to administer it are all Polish spaces which are merging with the greater space of the European Union while still having ties to the East. Implicit in this process is the further enablement of Poland and other Central European countries which will benefit from the Autostrada A1 to realize their full economic, political and social potential within the contemporary order in Europe and the world.
