Fudge Pt. 3
The Town Square was epitome of organised chaos. The townspeople were here in force and you didn't have to see them to know they were there. The noise coming from the crowd was enough to register as a 4.0 on the Richter Scale. Then there was the band, who had to play louder so that they could be heard. Anyone one with pets at home should ensure that they are safe and well because I'm pretty sure you can hear the noise coming from the town square too.

Fudge Pt. 2
It was dawn over Wightland; not that you could ever tell given the fact the town of Steamwood was subterranean. Our little town was formed during the golden age of piracy when a pirate crew led by Captain Saint set up a hideout in an undiscovered cave on the Isle of Wight. Over the years their little hideout became fishing village and son after a small town, it's hard to believe anyone could grow crops underground but here we are, the town has survived for centuries because no one knows we're here.

Fudge
It was New Year's Eve 2021; the Prime Minister paced around his office in Downing Street, these were stressful times. His time as Prime Minister is likely to be to come to an end unless he takes drastic action, but he cannot see any drastic action that would help hi make this situation better.

2024 and Beyond Presidential Bid
As I have mentioned in many of my stories before I am running for President in 2024, 2028 and beyond. I know I have 0 chance of winning and this is mainly for fun. If I do win, I will choose the most qualified advisors and cabinet members. I will keep Joe Biden’s chief of staff and nominate Dr. Fauci as Surgeon General. I will choose a Native American woman as my VP. Please watch my videos and subscribe to my YouTube gaming channel. I will also be the first openly atheist President that will look out for all. Remember a President is only as good as their advisors, cabinet and willingness to take advice.

How a company you have never heard of will shape the next decade.
The biggest thing going in tech right now brings with it a promising expansion of our technological future coupled with yet another wave of trillions in cash. I’ll leave it to the tech writers to discuss all the potential wonders 5G wireless speeds promise and focus strictly on the money. There is an interesting story happening right now and its fairly low key given how much money we are talking about and who stands to make that money.

Conspiracy Theories
IS THERE ANY REASON NOT TO BELIEVE? On the 20th of July 1969, 650 million people watched as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin successfully walk on the moon. They landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on the moon and stepped onto the dusty surface. This was, arguably one of the most significant events in history, and yet some people believe that the whole event was a hoax, set up by the American Government and NASA to show how powerful the Government was at influencing ordinary citizens.

Responsibility to Protect
The Responsibility to Protect is a pledge by the United Nations’ member states to address the four primary areas that touch on fundamental human rights. In the 2005 UN World Summit, all members of the United Nations committed to preventing war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The Responsibility to Protect was formulated to address the weaknesses in the UN’s security response to crime against humanity. For instance, the council failed to intervene during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide that claimed the lives of more than eight hundred thousand people within a hundred days (Arlin, 2017, p. 15). The United Nation’s Security Council was reluctant to approve the deployment of reinforcement to overstretch and underequipped Ghanaian forces in the country to stop the genocide (Arlin, 2017, p. 15). Thus, Responsibility to Act was formulated to avoid the repeat of such incidences. However, it has failed to achieve its objective and just mere rhetoric in the international system.
