whoa...think this is going to happen?

"He is one of the people that is clearly being discussed," Nobel Prize-winner Joe Stiglitz, a former senior vice president at the World Bank, told the Daily Mail.

"Blair is expected to cash in on his international contacts after quitting Downing Street on June 27. In addition, Blair's agent said he would quit Parliament if "a big international job" came up."

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    lol...it would seem to explain this sudden change of interest.

    Remove one guy that was a key figure in orchestrating the Iraq War...insert another...

    I'm beginning to get a whole new level of appreciation of what the deal is whenever these guys smile.

    You could well be onto something here. I mean, who exactly are these people at the world bank? Have they been elected? It's like a greed-heads gentleman's club or the Freemasons, or something. No transparency, no accountability. Just a bit of good old fashioned back-slapping.

    And I never thought that Jeff Kennett would finish up as Premier of Victoria and then become Chairman of Beyond Blue. The irony of that situation still confounds me!

    Nothing would surprise me when it comes to politicians and career changes.
    NOPE!!!

    Hold on to the thread
    The currents will shift

    If the former senior VP of the world bank says that Blair is being discussed and highly considered due to his "experience" then you really have to scratch your head at all this, and really wonder if all the mason ideology (GOB club) is really just conspiracy bunk after all.

    time will tell...I hope I'm wrong. I fear we may see this thread rise to the top again in a couple of months.
