Change
… Change is Awaited
If we look at
the world we can see people worried, they are worried for different reasons. Some
of them lost their life time savings, some do not have healthcare, and some cannot
afford food once a day.
We are worried;
everyone else is worried for different reason. Some lost jobs, some of them
lost home and some of them everything. There is no justice, waiting for justice
years and it never arrives.
There are leaders who elections on Them of Change. Have they
able to change anything in this world. It has gone from bad to worst. Are we
better off than 4 years ago?
Everyone is
looking for peace and satisfaction.
Change
is Awaited
Can these leaders bring a change in
this world? The corporate world is corrupt and corruption is at top. Can such
leaders bring a change in the society, than they make this society a better place?
These are few examples of corruption in the society. Corruption is at highest
level.
What kind of society we are looking
for ourselves and our offspring.
Everyone is thirsty, looking for
change, let us make change happen.
Don’t support them in the society.
We have seen two scandals recently.
CIA Chief has resigned, the same man who was head of US Military before, the
second man to go Lockheed Martin head. These are few scandals across western
world, which has destroyed social values and ethics.
They are representative of society
there.
CIA director David Petraeus resigns over 'unacceptable'
extramarital affair
Petraeus says he had shown 'extremely
poor judgment' over affair, which came to light during an FBI investigation The head of the CIA David Petraeus
resigned on Friday, saying that he had shown "extremely poor
judgment" by having an extramarital affair. The affair was discovered
during an FBI investigation into a potential breach of security, it emerged. No
criminal proceedings were being considered.
It is an embarrassing downfall for
one of America's most senior and respected generals, and one of the most
high-profile members of the Obama administration.
Troublesome
Liaisons of the Business World
Petraeus is
hardly the first high-profile person to engage in such behavior. He’s in
dubious company among a number of corporate leaders who have recently been
caught in compromising circumstances.
The world of business has been the source of numerous powerful and highly
placed individuals who put their marriages, careers and good standing at risk –
all for an extramarital dalliance.
The same day
Petraeus resigned — Lockheed Martin president and chief operating officer Chris
Kubasik offered his resignation at the request of the company’s board of
directors. This happened just two months before he was to assume a new role as
CEO.
According to the company’s website, the married executive had been involved in
“a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee,” actions which
“violated the company’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.”
Mark
Hurd
Mark Hurd is
the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard. The New York Times characterized his tenure
there as "one of the great rescue missions in American corporate history,
refocusing the strife-ridden company and leading it to five years of revenue
gains and a stock that soared 130 percent."
Still, Hurd was forced to resign in 2010. A sexual harassment probe found that
he had violated company standards by filing inaccurate expense reports, as part
of an effort to conceal a personal relationship with HP marketing consultant
Jodie Fisher. The investigators found that the married CEO had not harassed
her, but had paid her up to $10,000 per event to accompany him to business
functions.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Strauss-Kahn was removed from an Air France flight at Kennedy Airport
and arrested that same day, moments before the plane would have taken off and
flown him back to France. Two days later, he was charged with multiple felony
counts, and if he’s convicted of all of them, he could be sentenced to almost
75 years in prison. He resigned his post at the IMF on May 18, 2011, and he has
since pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him.
“Dominique Strauss-Kahn is
well-known as a seducer,” his official biographer, Michel Taubmann, said. “I
can’t believe he would force himself on an unwilling woman. That doesn’t make
sense.”
François
Mitterrand famously ran three parallel families while president. He appointed a
former girlfriend of his, Edith Cresson (a married woman) as prime minister in
1991. His predecessor, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, used to borrow a Ferrari from
his friend Roger Vadim, the film director and Brigitte Bardot’s first husband,
when he went on the pull. (He once crashed it into a milk float early one
morning on his way back to the Elysée.) Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy were
known for eyeing up comely reporters and female junior ministers.
DSK's extraordinary excuse: 'I didn't know I was sleeping with prostitutes
at orgies because they were all naked at the time'
Shamed
former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn never knew he was having sex with
prostitutes at orgies - because 'all of the women were naked at the time', his
lawyer claimed today.
The extraordinary excuse came as new mobile phone records
showed the disgraced economist slept with 10 different hookers all charging
more than £1,200 a time.
Tristane
Banon, 31, claims that she was attacked by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is
currently being held in New York over other allegations
In
2008, the married head of the IMF (he is on his third wife) was revealed to have
had an affair with the Hungarian economist Piroska Nagy, who worked with him in
the same organisation. He was cleared in an internal investigation of abuse of
power, though required to apologise publicly for ‘a serious error of judgment’.
Woman minister ‘enjoyed 8 lovers’
FRANCE’S first woman justice minister had up to EIGHT lovers
on the go, it was claimed yesterday.
Rachida Dati is in a legal battle to try to force tycoon
Dominique Desseigne to say he fathered her daughter Zohra, three. Desseigne,
68, who is refusing to take a DNA test, insists he is one of many who had an
“adventure” with Ms Dati, 47 — which will further the philandering reputation of
French politicians. And his lawyers have claimed she was involved in up to
eight relationships at the time.
It is claimed her boyfriends included a TV host, a Spanish
PM, a Qatari politician and a brother of ex-French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Those
previously suspected of being Zohra’s father include Mr Sarkozy himself. Ms
Dati, who has a reputation as a self-publicist, is said to have encouraged the
speculation during interviews.
Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni
'both having affairs'
Rumours that French President
Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy are both having affairs are
gaining momentum in France.
The first
'tweet' claimed that Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy had become romantically involved with
Benjamin Biolay, a musician and a winner at France's recent Victoires de la
Musique awards. It then claimed that the
jilted Mr Sarkozy had swiftly found solace in the arms of his 40-year-old
ecology minister Chantal Jouanno, also a French karate champion.
Celebrity President: Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla, Cécilia and
Marie-Dominique
Nicolas Sarkozy was elected the sixth president of the
Fifth Republic of France in May 2007. Their first celebrity leader, he is a
departure from previous French Presidents in that he courts the press and is
happy for them to gossip about his personal life - and his personal life got
very public when Nicolas Sarkozy got together with the model Carla Bruni.
He has now become a bone fide tabloid celebrity with the typical celebrity
gossip circulating about him.
Love-triangle books a headache for France's Hollande
Stuck
with dismal approval ratings for his presidential debut, France's Francois
Hollande is now having his private life raked over in a series of books that
dissect the alleged jealousy between his current and former companions.
Despite
Hollande's insistence he wants his home life kept private, public interest has
been rife since first lady Valerie Trierweiler sent a "killer tweet"
in June that exposed the animosity between her and Segolene Royal, the
president's partner up to mid-2007.
A
book out this week describes how Hollande's flirtation with Trierweiler goes
all the way back to the early 1990s and that in 2003 Royal warned the
journalist, 11 years her junior, to stay away from her man, then head of the
Socialist Party.
Bill Clinton Scandal: Affair with Monica Lewinsky
In the
early days of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, the most damning evidence was presented
by Linda Tripp. A close friend and confidante of Monica Lewinsky, Tripp
recorded her conversations with the White House intern — conversations that
revealed intimate details of what Lewinsky said was a sexual affair with the
President. It was these tapes that, when handed over to special prosecutor
Kenneth Starr in 1998, led to the expansion of the investigation into Clinton
and Lewinsky's supposed relationship, paving the way for an eventual
impeachment vote by the House of Representatives.
Mr Berlusconi - Scandals over his private life
Mr Berlusconi - caught in a series of
scandals over his private life, including his alleged dealings with younger
women and prostitutes - has frequently turned to a pithy phrase in an attempt
to shrug off the allegations. At the end of the previous year, as allegations
swirled about escorts and "Bunga, bunga" parties, the PM deadpanned
the line: "I unfortunately have never in my life been to a wild
party."
However, the talk of scandal has got under
his collar at times.
He told Il Giornale newspaper in an
interview on 12 August 2009 that he had nothing to apologise for and no
skeletons in his cupboard: "I deserve to be left in peace: enough
violations of privacy."
Questioned on the sex allegations in late
July, Mr Berlusconi admitted: "I am not a saint, you've all understood
that." In an earlier interview with gossip magazine Chi, Mr Berlusconi
denied he pays for sex, adding: "I never understood where the satisfaction
is when you're missing the pleasure of conquest."
More bluntly, in November 2010 Mr Berlusconi
hit out with the following: "It's better to like beautiful girls than to
be gay."
Silvio
Berlusconi's scandals
A party animal
CETTO LA QUALUNQUE is an
irredeemably corrupt, vulgar businessman from Calabria, Italy's mobster-ridden
toe. He has just returned from a stretch on the run from the law to stand for
mayor of his native, bullet-ridden Marina di Sopra (ominously twinned with
Weimar). Unlike Martin Luther King, he says, “I have no dream…but I do like pilu [a dialect term for a bit of
tail].” Mr La Qualunque, the central character in a new film, “Qualunquemente”,
is an invention. But this week he suddenly looked awfully real.
On January 17th Milan
prosecutors submitted to parliament a dossier of statements, reports and
wiretap transcripts that depicted scenes as extravagantly sordid as anything in
the much-trailed comedy. They included orgiastic parties staged at the home of
Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, involving more than 20 half-naked
women, and a room for what are known to participants as “Bunga Bunga” sessions,
equipped for pole-dancing, with wardrobes full of skimpy nurses' and
policewomen's uniforms.
John Edwards
North Carolina senator John Edwards had served only a portion of his one
term in the US senate before running for president in 2004. He lost the
nomination, but was selected as Democratic nominee John Kerry’s running mate.
After Edwards’ unsuccessful 2008 bid for the Democratic presidential
nomination, a story broke in The National Enquirer that he was having an
extramarital affair. It turned out to be spot-on. Not only had Edwards had an
affair with filmmaker Rielle Hunter, but he had fathered a child with her as
well. Edwards has since reduced his profile considerably, and it is not known
if he plans to return to the national stage.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
“The Governator” served for over seven years, and left office in January
2011. Then, on May 9, 2011, he and wife Maria Shriver announced that they were
separating after 25 years of marriage. The Los Angeles Times revealed that the
actor and politician had fathered a child out of wedlock ten years earlier with
one of their family’s household staff, and while it’s too early to tell what
kind of an effect this revelation will have on Schwarzenegger’s future, he
asked that his family be respected and left alone. "While I deserve your
attention and criticism,” he said in a statement, “my family does not. "
