Hi Gerry,

    I believe the general media is managed. They taught me at
    university, "if you torture the data long enough, it will confess to
    anything" These stories may be true, but I believe they can happen in
    any country and a largely dictated by the character of the
    leadership. 

    I operate business in Kashmir (Indian Occupied Territories) Anyone
    of my guys, or gals, may be taken for interrogation or kidnapped
    anyday. I treat them as if everyday may be their last. We are making
    the Kashmiri carpet, gift cards, paper product, and sourcing
    gemstones. Yes, the children of these family go to school, but may
    help with work after school. Yes, I pay a fair wage based on the
    country's economy, not minimum wage based on America's economy. No,
    we don't sell our women into slavery and will find work for people
    regardless of handicap. 

    We believe character is linked to destiny. We are one example of
    millions, all over the world, conducted business and bringing value
    to the society in which we work. 

Merry Christmas,
Ed Cleveland
