Most of the information gathered has either been in news reports, or spoken of freely on the streets.  What a corrupt person to have the power he has.  Why does he have any authority??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take for example Miss Coffee Papua New Guinea.  Now a single mother after a "successful" competition.  On what "merits" was she judged??  Who were the judges and what yardstick did they use??  The BIG question is WHO IS THE FATHER OF THE BABY???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did Ricky Mitio promote the coffee industry as a tourism draw to Papua New Guinea?  Was it because he owned a travel agency and used money to promote it's services.  All tickets HAD to go through his agency, and not ticketed from Air New Guinea.  The money was misused, the travel stopped and the business was closed.  Failure at the expense of his abuse and mismanagement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More failures to follow .......................... on Ricky Mitios ventures funded with your Papua New Guinea money that should be used for the public good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about all the home improvements and repairs he did, the carpenters were paid from the CIC Papua New Guinea.  Shouldn't this money be used to help the farmers on the land, not just him sitting in his fancy house???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More to come ... MUCH MUCH more.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943490909084546834-1112058372773321778?l=thedirtynews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedirtynews.blogspot.com/feeds/1112058372773321778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943490909084546834&amp;postID=1112058372773321778' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943490909084546834/posts/default/1112058372773321778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943490909084546834/posts/default/1112058372773321778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedirtynews.blogspot.com/2008/03/cic-papua-new-guinea-coffee.html' title='CIC Papua New Guinea Coffee'/><author><name>The Equalizer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11119217652850722618</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943490909084546834.post-475545470891470826</id><published>2008-03-03T02:24:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2008-03-06T06:37:47.792+10:00</updated><title type='text'>PNG Coffee Industry - Not Excempt from Corruption</title><content type='html'>We wrote early in the week about the cash and corruption within the coffee industry in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;PNG&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With some of the private responses we got there is obviously no smoke without fire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why people have to live in fear of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;retribution&lt;/span&gt; for saying what is true is beyond me, may be its that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;papua&lt;/span&gt; new guinea is corrupt to the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;core&lt;/span&gt;, after all it was voted as the 29&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; most corrupt country last year and it looks like some of the coffee bosses are helping it climb even higher, is this what Mr. Ricky &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Mitio&lt;/span&gt; wants?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speak up now, bring these people to justice, it's your country too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943490909084546834-475545470891470826?l=thedirtynews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thedirtynews.blogspot.com/feeds/475545470891470826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943490909084546834&amp;postID=475545470891470826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943490909084546834/posts/default/475545470891470826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943490909084546834/posts/default/475545470891470826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thedirtynews.blogspot.com/2008/03/png-coffee-industry-not-excempt-from.html' title='PNG Coffee Industry - Not Excempt from Corruption'/><author><name>The Equalizer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11119217652850722618</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943490909084546834.post-4997657625390801497</id><published>2008-03-02T03:10:00.001+10:00</published><updated>2008-03-02T03:12:26.599+10:00</updated><title type='text'>PNG Corruption</title><content type='html'>Corruption is now recognised as a serious disease eating away and wasting this rich country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk cannot become action because there is no will and vision to materialise it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All good things must start from the throne and flow out to its people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These must not be blocked.

The basic outline is: -&lt;br /&gt;Japan &lt;a href="http://2ndlook.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/sovereign-gold-how-safe-is-indian-gold/" modo="false"&gt;looted huge amounts of gold&lt;/a&gt; from Korea, Burma, Manchuria (in China) between 1925-1945.&lt;br /&gt;Some of that gold was shipped to Japan.
