Orphan children and Refugees in other countries need relief and aid NOT political side taking.

____________

Refugees and Orphans needs TOP OFFICIALS TO MEET WITH REAL EXPERTS.
NOT CELEBRITY SPOKESPERSON.

Maybe if the gov officials actually took time from lobbying to travel to Syria and see with their own eyes instead of relying
on 2nd hand reports from ACTORS
the war would be less of a failure
and disorganized mess.

IT’s their job to visit these places firsthand
and MEET WITH QUALIFIED ADVISORS NOT ACTORS.

——————-

That’s not how it works !

Experts, technicians and specialist work toroughly on political, financial, geopolitical, historical aspects and present a torough analysis of the situation. Some of them, appointed through ambassies or through religious network also works on the ground and give a daily report about the situation to politics.

Politics are the one that can put the necessary weight on special issues to release the fiancials to implement that politics, including operation of relieve and humanitarian crises through the UN effort or an increase of national funds related to humanitarian efforts.

Celebrities are always the ones who are chosen as goodwill ambassadors because the job requires someone who’se able to draw the lights where it must be so that it put more weight and pressure on the politics to release more financials. It’s their celebrity satus that emphasize a crisis more efficiently, just like the huge sympathy of celebrities which drain a public opinion against apartheid put pressure on the US government to let down the racist regime of south africa in the 80’s.

It’s efficient politics. It’s the way the UN works to draw more financials for implementing their humanitarian efforts by putting pressure on the politics by building an awareness of public opinions over one specific problem to put pressure on their politicians.

That politics requires any of those three actors : the technicians on the ground and in the cabinet, the politicians and the goodwill ambassadors who act as a magnifying glass to put emphasize on a situation that tend to be secondary for the politicians.

That’s why, GoodWill ambassadors are actors, singers but also princesses ! People who can drain loads of attention by their own presence and therefore loads of money. That’s their job : to facilitate the technicians job, so that they can have the necessary funds at their disposals to implement their politics of relieve based on their analysis.

That’s how things work!

Thanks for posting, this is EXCELLENT indeed

Hey JP peeps

My computer failed me last night after i managed to make one little post on the other thread so i wasnt able to continue posting. My apologies to those fans who i didnt get a chance to engage.

BTW, thanks to the fan who posted this article from the UK Telegraph. I loved it sooooo much, i am reposting it here, especially for the benefit of all the trolls who clearly have NO CLUE about the tremendous amount of work and planning that go into everything the JPs do.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/09/22/sm_andreweaton.xml&page=1

The trolls only see and believe what their trashloid bibles tell them about the life of the JPs. Its so hilarious…….it reminds me of that classic tale about the Six Blind Men and the Elephant.

Y’know how it goes……………each of the men touched a different part of the body of the elephant and thought is was this or that thing (e.g one touched the trunk and said it is clear that the elephant is a snake; another touched the tail and said the elephant was obviously a rope; one touched the front leg and said the elephant was definitely a tree; and another touched the body and said they were all wrong, and that the elephant is a wall; etc.) and each thought they had the truth when in fact none of them knew SQUAT what they were dealing with.

Welcome to the world of the trolls.

OT sort of

MTV Launches Socially Conscious Network
by Gavin O’Malley, Friday, Sep 21, 2007 6:00 AM ET
AT ONCE SAVING THE WORLD and giving the growing number of activist consumers a place to gather, MTV Networks has launched Think.MTV.com. The community site will help the network and popular artists attach themselves to socially conscious causes, serve as a platform for users to focus on related ideas, and help various non-profit groups and consumer brands reach concentrated demographics through advertising.

Executives at MTV said the inspiration for the site came from a study conducted last year, which found that 80% of young people want to actively help their community, but only 19% are “very involved.”

To help these aspiring youths, the site features the usual toolkit of blogs, videos, profiles, podcasts, and other features to help them get educated, share their passions, and facilitate action groups.

“The Think Community was built to catalyze a sea change in youth activism,” said Christina Norman, president of MTV.

Not alone in this undertaking, MTV has launched Think with the support of some serious institutions, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Case Foundation, the Goldhirsh Foundation, and the MCJ Foundation, among others.

The site, which is still in its beta launch stage, will be promoted mainly on MTV and on other MTVN channels, including VH1, when they feature shows on relevant issues.

Other weighty supporters include the United Nations and the Boys and Girls Club as well as contributions from Bono, Jay-Z, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Rock and other notables

*************************************

Exactly. Nobody pays attention to those boring politicians and statesmen, but everybody pays attention to celebrities. They are the ones who get people concerned and involved. People were dying all over Ethiopia in 1985 and the politicians did absolutely nothing, until Bob Geldof and Live Aid threw that monster bash on the TV that raised one billion dollars for famine relief, and that’s when everybody sat up and took notice.

OT- If you see the the stupidity of this, please contact your congress person. We have enough money for war, but childrens health care?

338 TIHS

If this tidbit is true, Brad is being real and that is a rarity in Htown. He sees a bigger picture now of how the world really is. I am sure that if he said this CindyG’s mouth fell open, frantically thinking to herself “how am I as his publicist going to spin the truth?” LOL. Angelina has Brad’s back, he knows that, and he is now much more open that he has ever been.

I am beginning to have visions of Brad as a politician. We need plain talking truth speaking reps rather than all the lying ones we have now.

–

I saw think video of Brad answering questions from a guy from MTV. He was relax and laid back. This was his fourth premeire of AOJJ with the same questions in last than a month. It probably was getting a little boring. But of course that is now how the guy spun the story. Typical of the media these days. The MTV also ask him who would win against Tyler of Fight Club and Jesse James. Brad said Jesse has a gun.

I hope Casey gets on local T.V.shows to let people know when the movie will be coming to a theatre near them.

Maybe we should keep politics off this board. Brad/Angelina have fans from all political backgrounds and beliefs. I really do not feel like gettingt into political debate with people here.Angelina has broad knowledge of the worls. So does Condi, Colin and many others. Angelina is smart to not politicize things such as genocide, world hunger etc that is unfortunatly [politiciced allo over the world by all sides . Enough is enough please. You don’t see me saying nasty thing about Hillary or the ones far worse than her such as moveon.org. Angelina is promoting peace. The attempts here to politicize things and put people on the defensive does not. So please can we change the subject or at least dicuss things civally or respectfully that don’t get people who don’t share the beliefs to get upset. There are ways for people with opposing views on world politics to do so in a rational polite way. I still think we should lay off the politics. That is the problem with the worl is that eveyone in charge or political business has an agenda that interferes with matters that should not be politicvized. The causes that AQngelina beliefs in and represents so well is one of them .

This is from my Agenda New York Magazine newsletter 9/21

Opening (the Populist pick)

Brad Pitt plays the original Celebrity
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

This melancholy actors’ showcase is about the birth of American star culture—the way the ex-Confederate robber Jesse James became a folk hero through tall tales, told in the press, that magnified his charm, danger, and Robin Hood–like heroism. Brad Pitt, of course, is perfect in the role of a man radiating star power while seeming trapped in his own fame (he also looks great on a horse). It’s enough to make you wonder: Without Jesse James, would we have Brangelina?
