The Mexican based Ruiz crime family flourished from exporting printed pornography to Europe laundering the huge profits through the Viennese Liberec International Bank. When widowed, Fernando and son Carlos relocated to Miami. Carlos was despatched off to finish his education in New York State where he established friendships with the sons of wealthy and politically ambitious families. Carlos videoed his liaisons with the mothers of his fellow students. What he did not appreciate at the time was just how valuable such videos would be when his school friends fathers became elected to the US Senate and Congress. The internet began to diminish the profitability of the Ruiz business. Simultaneously the Belize drug cartels were infiltrating the Mexico end of the operations. In desperation, Fernando Ruiz reluctantly accepted a solution proposed from Carlos. "Youve eighteen million Euros to prove what can be done Carlos. Call this a test run through the Liberec Bank. I dont want anyone messed up, especially the local families in Mexico. As long as they are up to printing currency Ive already got the people who can organise the distribution by manipulating the computer systems. Before you know it well own most of the industrial property in Europe. What Carlos did not know was that the UK Intelligence Services had Bernice Jayne Peters inside of the Liberec Bank monitoring the laundering of Ruiz money. The issue was that Charles Grimshaw, who had been forced to engage Peters on his retread team, did not trust her. Hacket, you go and see what the hell is going on. Too many bodies are turning up. Grimshaw had said. London wants, no, I want an end to this and yesterday. Copy/ paste into your browser for more - http://www.mbchattelle.me.uk

The World We Want compares the future world that Enlightenment intellectuals had hoped for with our own world at present. In what respects do the two worlds differ, and why are they so different? To what extent is and isn't our world the world they wanted, and to what extent do we today still want their world? Unlike previous philosophical critiques and defenses of the Enlightenment, the present study focuses extensively on the relevant historical and empirical record first, by examining carefully what kind of future Enlightenment intellectuals actually hoped for; second, by tracking the different legacies of their central ideals over the past two centuries. But in addition to documenting the significant gap that still exists between Enlightenment ideals and current realities, the author also attempts to show why the ideals of the Enlightenment still elude us. What does our own experience tell us about the appropriateness of these ideals? Which Enlightenment ideals do not fit with human nature? Why is meaningful support for these ideals, particularly within the US, so weak at present? Which of the means that Enlightenment intellectuals advocated for realizing their ideals are inefficacious? Which of their ideals have devolved into distorted versions of themselves when attempts have been made to realize them? How and why, after more than two centuries, have we still failed to realize the most significant Enlightenment ideals? In short, what is dead and what is living in these ideals?

It is a sad and shaming but indisputable fact that the reception according to British soldiers on returning to civilian life has for centuries been little short of disgraceful, and even in this more enlightened age compares unfavourably with that of many other countries. In Homecoming Heroes Peter Reese ex-amines the lot of British “veteran” (often still quite a young man) on leaving the Armed Forces and assesses the chances of finding suitable employment after his discharge. His survey covers a wide canvas, going back to the earliest days of the British Army and reveals a sorry tale in which neglect was often the only alternative to downright hostility. It is not a story to swell the British breast with pride. The efforts of Charles II, founder of Chelsea Royal Hospital, and later those of the benevolent Marquis of Granby notwithstanding, it was not until the later part of the 19th century that an awakening of social conscience stirred certain philanthropic individuals into action. Ironically Government reaction was not to the veteran’s advantage: 'If the matter is now in private hands' they argues, 'why should we interfere?' Mass conscription in two world wars has helped considerable to help break down this uncaring viewpoint, but much, as Peter Reese forcefully points out, remains to be done. Let us hope that this timely book will help ameliorate the lot of those about to be cast upon a shrinking job market as a result of the recently announced defence cuts.
