On April 20 Americans Against the Tea Party shared a video of the former CEO ofNestle, coincidentally also the largest seller of bottled water in the world, where he says that he feels that water is not a right and it should be privatized and sold. In the way that he describes it, he also wants to ration water so that people will get their basic human right which he has allotted as five liters for daily hydration, and 25 liters for minimum hygiene.
In recent past, Nestle has been accused of wanting to line their fat pockets throughprivatization rather than being concerned for the planet or its people. In a documentary filmed last year that Nestle refused to participate in, they were accused of extracting ground water from small third world countries and using it for their bottled water brands.
Former CEO, Brabeck, claims that his issue with water is that as a human right we are only using 1.5 percent. The rest of the water is simply being wasted because people don't see the value in it. Brabeck feels that it is every governments obligation to privatize the water and distribute it in a way that everyone can have some. The question that stands to remain is whether or not Nestle would be willing to pay for the water that they currently get for free if it were privatized. It would no longer be free for them or anyone else.
Taylor Rios, a Texas resident also points out;
"The government has enough control over citizens of its country. To tell me I am only allowed to drink a certain amount of water or I can only use a set amount when I give my kids a bath or wash clothes is ridiculous. Yes, people waste water, but the majority of human beings are going to waste something. I prefer things the way they are... using what I need or want and paying the city for my usage. If this actually becomes a reality, what will be next... limiting the amount of food I can buy or only allowing me a certain amount of toilet paper I can use?"
It stands to reason, that water could never truly and fully be privatized. Even if all of the lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds were to be sucked dry for privatization, the world is made up of mostly water. We aren't going to suck up the oceans and filter it because we would be killing a vital food source of the world. If you dig deep enough, there is always water because the plant life depends on it. When it rains, that water can be filtered and used, and there are several plants that contain water themselves that can be consumed for water. Unless Nestle's former CEO's plan is to rape the land of everything that contains water, it sounds like his plan wasn't well thought out and even more poorly spoken aloud.
Lastly, many people already pay for water no matter the country they live in. The city collects water in reservoirs, wells, and other means and filters, cleans, purifies, and distributes the water as needed. People are already paying for their own water usage. What do you think of water privatization?

This statement by Bill Gates was not made with any hesitation, stuttering or other indication that it might have been a mistake. It appears to have been a deliberate, calculated part of a well developed and coherent presentation.
So what does it mean when Bill Gates says "if we do a really great job on new vaccines... we could lower [world population] by 10 or 15 percent?"
The Sierra Leone Action Group (SLAG), a humanitarian Non-Governmental Organization which seeks to contribute to the development of Sierra Leone with a specific focus to improve the lives of underprivileged children in Sierra Leone, on the 13th October 2012, for the first time in the history of Sierra Leoneans in the Netherlands, organised a beauty contest in which nine beauty queens contested for the Miss Sierra Leone Holland title. According to the organisers, the event is not only meant for fundraising to help underprivileged children back home (at the Pentecostal Orphanage), but also as a source of inspiration for young girls in the Diaspora, and to serve as good will ambassadors for the SLAG Foundation.
The event, which was held in the Dutch city of Malden (via Nijmegen), attracted a huge population and dignitaries from the community, among which were Miss Africa Holland, and other beauty Pageants from other African countries such as Guinea, Rwanda, and so on. Paramount among them was the Sierra Leonean Mrs. Haja Fatmata Wurie (Head of Chancery Sierra Leone Embassy in Brussels), who declared the floor open for the contestants. In her opening remarks, Mrs.Wurie applauded the organizers for their good initiative and hard work. She urged the cheering crowd to continue to promote the image of our beloved nation in this part of the world for a brighter future.
Among the contestants were Miss Wuyata Sowa (winner), Miss Edna Moseray (2nd), Miss Mariatu Kamara, Miss Fatmata Daramy, Miss Magna Thomas, Miss Macella Sesay, Miss Janet Marnoh Sesay, Miss Rose Salamatu Kargbo, and Miss Rosemary Bangura, each representing a district in Sierra Leone. The panel of judges, after what they described as “thorough scrutiny”, eventually declared Miss Wuyata Sowa (a law student at the University of Leiden) the winner and the new Miss Sierra Leone Holland. Miss Wuyata Sowa (photo) with a great enthusiasm thanked everyone for what she described as “a shocking thing to me” for the great title and vowed to do her best to promote the goals of the SLAG foundation for the development of Sierra Leone.
“I want to be part of an organization that empowers people,” and observed that “a woman’s true beauty is the good she does in the world. I believe I can do many good things.” As part of her winning prize is a return ticket to Sierra Leone, in which she will visit the International Pentecostal Orphanage in Grafton. The trip is intended not only to meet with the vulnerable and helpless children, but also to transform their situation to optimism.
The Sierra Leone Action Group has its seat in the city of Enschede, with Osman Bangura and Mackie Jeng as co-founders, and Khalid Kamara and Sorie Ibrahim Kragbo and many more in the US and UK as members. The event was co-hosted by Miss Seray Kakay, Ibrahim Kondeh (aka Play boy), and Cidi from New York, and ended with a party.
