“To stand the best chance of being remembered, it is perhaps best to choose a career in politics – but don’t try to copy your heroes from antiquity. From Caesar to Boudica, back then the best remembered rulers were renowned for their skill as warriors or military strategists. Those from more recent history – such as Nelson Mandela, Abraham Lincoln and Gandhi – are known for leading revolutions or advancing human rights. Drop your weapons and focus on a good cause. ”

This year, the first person to wish me a ‘Merry Christmas’ is a muslim man from Libya. Thank you! It means a lot to me. May Peace return to Libya — and to so many other countries — in 2018!

Never forget that there is a time for everything and everything has its special season. This season is a time to laugh. Now is a unique time for Friends and a very special time for Love.

Last night, a former student from Colombia asked me for some advise. My answer: “Focus on a good cause.”

On December 6 2016, the FSB arrested Ruslan Stoyanov, the former head of Kaspersky Lab’s Computer Incident Investigation Department. Stoyanov is charged under Art. 275 of the Criminal Code (Treason). A source at Kaspersky Lab describes Stoyanov as a “romantic idealist”. “He saw that bad things were happening and tried to stop them.”

“Then the righteous will answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?”

On 11 May 2015, Former CIA Jeffrey Sterling was sentenced to 3½ years in prison However, according to a well-informed source, Sterling could be released from jail early next year. Let us hope that this information is true. And, please, have a prayer for him and his wonderful wife.

“And the King will answer them: Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”

Former CIA Sabrina de Sousa — On November 6 2017, a Milan court has approved a 3-year long community service for Sabrina De Sousa to teach English to minors in Rome province. Her lawyer — Dario Bolognesi — said the period of community service could be made shorter by good behaviour. I know that the orphans she will teach English to are going to love her.
