You live to prove your stupidity. Who said you can't be charged if there is forensic circumstantial evidence?.

So, you can be charged for murder if there's no body. Or is your new stance forensic evidence is also body?

Making excuses and denying for schools grooming children

Guess si can't make up evidence that doesn't exist so you got to shift from "defending" to "excuses and denying".

Gives me hope you might shift so far that your maths stops being racist too someday but I shall not hold my breath.

You can't charge someone with murder if there is no body.

You are embarrassingly lazy.

In April 1994, Heidi Allen, 18, of New Haven, New York, was abducted from the convenience store where she worked. Her body has never been found. Brothers Gary and Richard Thibodeau were charged with kidnapping and murder. They were tried separately. Gary was found guilty and sentenced to 25 years to life, while Richard was acquitted.[20]

In 1996, Thomas Capano was convicted of the murder of Anne Marie Fahey, his former lover. Investigators did not have a murder weapon or body, nor any evidence that Capano had purchased a gun. He was convicted of first-degree murder in part due to the evidence given by his brother, Gerry, who had admitted to helping Capano dump Fahey's body in the Atlantic Ocean.

Sante Kimes and her son Kenneth were convicted of the murder of Irene Silverman, whose body was never found. They were also both suspects in another murder in the Bahamas where the body was never located. Kenneth eventually confessed to both murders but Sante Kimes maintained her innocence until she died in prison in 2014.

In 2006, prosecutors in Nashville, Tennessee, had Perry March arrested and extradited from Mexico after he had been secretly indicted on charges of murdering his wife Janet, who had disappeared in 1996. An attempt to have March's in-laws killed while March was awaiting trial led to the arrest of his father, who as part of a plea agreement confessed to burying his daughter-in-law in a pile of brush near Bowling Green, Kentucky, but he was unable to lead police to the body after the intervening nine years. Perry March was convicted in 2006 almost ten years to the day after his wife disappeared.

In the Australian no-body trial for the murder of Keith William Allan, evidence from forensic accountants established a motive. The chance police finding of one perpetrator driving Allan's car and the conduct of all perpetrators, in particular mobile telephone records, were also important factors in their conviction.

Maynman:
During ancient Greece, Theism served as the foundational belief system that upheld the legitimacy of the state. It was imperative to worship the gods, particularly those recognized by the state religion.

I wonder if you might see the above as your own understanding, because the author of the book you mention is seen to have;

Further, in the "Kings and Singers" passage (80–103)[4] Hesiod appropriates to himself the authority usually reserved to sacred kingship. The poet declares that it is he, where we might have expected some king instead, upon whom the Muses have bestowed the two gifts of a scepter and an authoritative voice (Hesiod, Theogony 30–3), which are the visible signs of kingship. It is not that this gesture is meant to make Hesiod a king. Rather, the point is that the authority of kingship now belongs to the poetic voice, the voice that is declaiming the Theogony.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theogony

Also, God Jesus was not paid by Caesar to begin with. Might it not be that the state recognises and appropriates the "established foundational belief system", and use it to "upheld the legitimacy of the state", or more appropriately, of their individual self's? I do often see our politicians seeking anointings.

Maynman:
A-theist means "without gods," where the "a" in atheist is "without" and "theist" refers to gods (theos). Thus, an atheist is someone without Theos (Greek gods).

According to the most usual definition, an atheist is a person who maintains that there is no God, that is, that the sentence “God exists” expresses a false proposition. In contrast, an agnostic [in the epistemological sense] maintains that it is not known or cannot be known whether there is a God, that is, whether the sentence “God exists” expresses a true proposition. On our definition, an atheist is a person who rejects belief in God, regardless of whether or not the reason for the rejection is the claim that “God exists” expresses a false proposition. People frequently adopt an attitude of rejection toward a position for reasons other than that it is a false proposition. It is common among contemporary philosophers, and indeed it was not uncommon in earlier centuries, to reject positions on the ground that they are meaningless. (Edwards 2006: 358)

What you fail to realise because you are inherently biased is that two slates of electors voted in the 1961 elections from Hawaii.
Only that in that case the court listened, ordered a recount and addressed the grievances raised right upto the final day.

Gerrard59:
For black Africa to be rich or at least middle class, we need to receive investments and have our goods access wealthier markets. That is what the US did with Japan after the nuclear bombing, South Korea after the disintegration, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. Those countries got massive investments from Western companies and technical know-how.

'Receiving Investments' involves the receipt of information and knowhow and instruction by a large number of organised individuals capable and ready to receive it, which Japan showed it had in its willingness to go kamikazi.

China received investments for the same reason of having an educated willing workforce, as did historic USA with its 'willing' unpaid workforce.

For black Africa to be rich or at least middle class, we need to be in a position to receive investments and technical knowhow, and unfortunately we aren't at the moment since we do not have a large number of organised individuals capable and ready to receive investments.

Gerrard59:
Now, the Chinese are ascending to higher levels and the West feels threatened and is clamping down on her growth.

It's this that prompted me to respond, as it leaves out why "Chinese are ascending to higher levels", which I've proposed above is a large organised educated willing workforce that is capable and ready to receive investments and knowhow.

Gerrard59:
OK, their interest. So, where next are the world's manufacturing hubs they are targeting? South Asia (India) and South East Asia. But these places are a distance away from Europe and the United States. The most logical would be to do the same in black Africa to serve the same purpose as China.

The assumption that the world cares to provide another country with manufacturing jobs made me chuckle.

Below is Taiwan being anal retentive at moving it's manufacturing jobs to USA that seems to find it more logical to be the world's manufacturer.

"The plant’s owner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest chip maker in the world, has pushed back plans to start manufacturing to 2025, blaming a lack of skilled labor. It is trying to fast-track visas for 500 Taiwanese workers. Unions, meanwhile, are accusing TSMC of inventing the skills shortage as an excuse to hire cheaper, foreign labor. Others point to safety issues at the plant." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/aug/28/phoenix-microchip-plant-biden-union-tsmc

Gerrard59:
The other day, I read German businesses went to Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam to seek partners to produce goods for the EU market. For crying out loud, is Malaysia closer to Germany than Senegal? Kenya? Tanzania?

No, it isn't. We just lack that educated willing organised workforce.

Gerrard59:
Investing in certain countries to make them rich is good for the investor because when those people invested in become rich, they purchase the goods and patronise the services of the investor.

I don't think it reasonable to expect an investor to invest in a country to make a country rich. Might be because Adam brainwashed me though, and because I think modern day investors think more short-term.

Gerrard59:
That is how it happened with the Chinese and the West. The West invested, and today Chinese purchase lots of...

That is not "how it happened with the Chinese and the West, Gerrard, unless you'd claim the West selling Indian opium in China was making China rich.

What's true is China invested in the Chinese by educating themselves to be able to go and steal the investment (information, knowledge, knowhow) from the West, and the West, being greedy for cheap labour in order to maximise their profit sold their investment to China.

Gerrard59:
The question now is, why didn't the West think of the same, considering we have a 500+ year history compared to the Chinese?

Because China had a much longer history to learn from of course.
