Twelve Jordanian MPs resign in protest to corruption
Twelve Jordanian lawmakers have resigned in protest to the corruption within the Jordanian government.
According to German news agency, this mass resignation of Jordanian lawmakers took place after the Jordanian Parliament, last Wednesday, rejected the call of one of parliamentary committees for judicial inspection of the former Jordanian premier, Marouf al-Bakhit, who is charged with illegal sales of a phosphate-producing company to the Bruneian government.
As of January 2011, the Jordanian people have also held peaceful demonstrations, demanding political and economic reforms and an end to corruption in Jordan.

Shimla, March 12:
Himachal Pradesh Health Minister Rajeev Bindal, facing allegations of corruption from the opposition Congress, denied the charges but Monday submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.
Refuting the allegations of "amassing immovable assets", Bindal told the state assembly: "I am resigning from the cabinet."
Earlier, pandemonium prevailed in the house over the assets allegedly acquired by Bindal and his family since he became minister in January 2008.
After disrupting the house during the question hour, the Congress legislators staged a walk out.

Silvio Berlusconi promises to resign
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has agreed to resign after his proposed economic reforms are approved by the country's parliament.
Exactly when Mr Berlusconi will hand in his resignation and bring to a close his 17 years in the political limelight was unclear last night.
The Italian Senate, the upper house of parliament, is due to vote on the package on Nov 15, but if it is approved it would then have to go before the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house, where Mr Berlusconi no longer holds a majority.
I wouldn't personally put any faith into the EU protecting our liberties. As with any other thread, we're all going to have our own interpretations of these resignations (and also a substantial amount of fraud allegations). Reckon that intuition is a pretty good thing to have at this time - plus various members different experiences and backgrounds.Quote:

There are those in parliament who are trying to scrap human rights and if it wasn't for the EU then its just possible that Briton would now be in lock-down mode. The picture is not as black 'n' white as people aree made to believe.
Home Secretary: scrap the Human Rights Act
Well the Nesara lot (or some followers) are talking about a new currency coming in today or tomorrow - so who knows :)Quote:

Do people think there's any truth to NESARA? It sounds cool but they've bee talking about 'imminent announcements" for years. So I don't know what to believe... What's John MacHaffie's track record? He seems great as well, but I'm not sure how reliable his info has proven in the past.
Best just switch off the net and trust my gut.

Tycoon Vekselberg resigns from Rusal’s board
The Associated Press
Tuesday, March 13, 2012 | 3:26 a.m.
Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg has stepped down as chairman of aluminum giant Rusal, warning of a "deep crisis" at the company.
The resignation prompted Rusal to suspend trading of its shares Tuesday after they shed 1.3 percent of their value on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Vekselberg said in a statement issued late Monday that Rusal was being badly managed and had been weighed down by debt.
The company, the world's largest aluminum producer, replied Tuesday by saying it had planned to replace Vekselberg for failing to fulfill his duties as board chairman over the past year.
Vekselberg had chaired the board of Rusal since its founding in 2007. He is Rusal's third-largest shareholder and holds a 15.8 percent stake in the company.
http://en.gazeta.ru/news/2012/03/13/a_4089045.shtml
Viktor Vekselberg, one of the largest shareholders of CO Rusal has resigned as the chairman of the company.
"Unfortunately, I have to state that currently CO Rusal is in a deep crisis, triggered by the managers' actions. They turned Rusal from the world aluminum leader into a company, overburdened with debts, involved into a number of lawsuits and social conflicts," Veklselberg, 54, said in an online statement......
Trading in the aluminum producer in Hong Kong was suspended at 9:31 a.m. local time after it opened 1.3 percent lower. It has fallen 43 percent since it sold shares in January 2010 at HK$10.80 in an initial sale to raise $2.34 billion.

Fifa corruption intrigue deepens as Brazil's Ricardo Teixeira resigns
• Brazil confederation president a key figure in Fifa for 22 years
• Teixeira blames ill-health and insists: 'I've done my duty'
The intrigue enveloping Fifa has deepened with the resignation of Ricardo Teixeira, president of the Brazilian football confederation (CBF) for 22 years and a long-time powerful figure within football's world governing body. Under pressure in Brazil over the organisation of the 2014 World Cup and at Fifa following a series of corruption allegations, Teixeira's resignation has been predicted for months. When it came, however, he said it was on the grounds of ill-health. Last year Teixeira took temporary leave of absence for diverticulitis, a bowel condition.

Former News International boss Rebekah Brooks and her husband among six arrested in phone hacking dawn raids
Five men and one woman arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice
Rebekah Brooks and millionaire husband Charlie arrested at their Chipping Norton home
23 people have now been arrested under Operation Weeting, the phone-hacking probe
Rebekah Brooks and her millionaire husband have been arrested on a day of dramatic developments in the phone hacking scandal.
The former News of the World editor is one of six people held today in a series of dawn raids carried out by Metropolitan Police officers.
News International head of security Mark Hanna was also among those arrested, according to Sky News.
All of the individuals were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice under Operation Weeting.
Mrs Brooks, 43, and her racehorse trainer husband Charlie, 49, an Eton schoolfriend of David Cameron, were arrested at their home in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
The former News International chief executive is being questioned at an Oxfordshire police station, while Mr Brooks is being interviewed at a Buckinghamshire police station.
Officers are searching several addresses in London, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Hertfordshire, Scotland Yard said.
(full story at the link - and cannot remember where down the rabbit hole I read that the system they may have hacked into/or dipped into, isn't the conventional one we think it is?).
And the Sky News story on it here:
Brunt said one of the men is head of security at News International, Mark Hanna, who was arrested at a business premises in east London.

All six - five men and one woman - were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, contrary to the Criminal Law Act 1977.

More on News International and Rebekah Brooks

Former Murdoch deputy bagged with husband.
Rupert Murdoch’s flame-haired former deputy Rebekah Brooks is back in jail, part of a police sweep that took in five others in an investigation into phone hacking at News Corp. Brooks’s husband, horse trainer Charlie Brooks, was also taken in. The arrests constitute the biggest haul since the beginning of the investigation; police say that several addresses related to the arrests were also searched. Brooks was editor of News of the World and then CEO of News International, Murdoch’s newspaper arm, until she resigned in July. She was arrested and bailed out last summer.
and Nov 2011 report:
Report: Murdoch Gave Brooks $2.72M Severance
Plus office, limousine after she resigned.
This should raise a few red flags: Rupert Murdoch allegedly gave former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks roughly $2.72 million in cash, a London office, and a limousine as part of her severance. Brooks quit in July amid hacking allegations aimed at the company's News of the World tabloid and was arrested and subsequently released on bail days after she resigned. The question of why Brooks was given such a generous severance package will no doubt be raised when James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's son, returns to Westminster on Thursday to answer more questions from the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee about his knowledge of illegal activities that went down at the paper. (before he resigned this year....).
