  Currency Warfare -- Review of Financial Markets posted by Bob Chapman via stan, 2009-12-03 08:49:39
This past week was one of utmost turmoil in world markets. In the midst of an American holiday, Dubai faced bankruptcy for approx. $100 billion. Another unsuspected untoward event. The exposure of the Dubai event coming as it did could have been discovered at any given time, thus, we question the timing. We can understand why the London market was off some 300 Dow points, but exposure to Dubai was very limited in Europe, the US and in Asia. Could it have been an excuse to take down the US and European markets and gold and silver? We do not know, but we have come to question everything that happens. (full story)

 The Forgotten Bird Of Paradise posted by John Pilger via stan, 2009-11-16 16:44:36
When General Suharto, the West’s man, seized power in Indonesia in the mid-1960s, he offered “a gleam of light in Asia”, rejoiced Time magazine. That he had killed up to a million [mostly ethnic Chinese] 'communists' was of no account in the acquisition of what Richard Nixon called “the richest hoard of natural resources, the greatest prize in South-east Asia”.

 Permanent occupation in Asia! DESPERATE American delusion posted by finch, 2009-11-13 19:09:22
Imperial, corporate ruled, ‘shit-on-the-end-of-a-stick,’ America, “vows permanent presence” in Asia! Interesting announcement from puppet-in-chief Obaa’ma today; however, the world’s largest regional group, ASIANS, just may have a ‘minor’ influence in determining THEIR OWN DESTINIES – you mindless, American morons!

Racist American colony, Australia, takes another battering from BRIC posted by dasha, 2009-08-01 01:17:24
The cowardly, obedient, flea nation of the South Pacific and its shameless, servile ‘leadership’ are currently being taught a lesson not soon to be forgotten. Russia has joined its allies, India and China, in their moral, political and economic attacks on the Rudd ‘custard’ government by banning the importation of all kangaroo meat into Russia. This ban, which severely impacts Australia on a number of fronts, is too well timed to be accidental or coincidental. (full story and 1 comments)

 Brief History of the Shortest Lived Empire on Record, Pt. 1 posted by Andrew Gavin Marshall via quin, 2009-07-31 09:53:51
Introduction
“And it’s come to this;” are reputed to be the last words uttered by notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly before he was hanged. Today those fateful words apply to a bandit nation that chose, like Kelly, to live the hard, fast, short life of a rogue and bandit. (full story and 7 comments)

In an Impotent World even Criminal Aggression is Tolerated posted by Paul Craig Roberts via reed, 2009-07-21 00:24:02
"The Russians and Chinese are off balance because of successful American interventions in their spheres of influence, uncertain of the threat and the response. Russia could have prevented the coming attack on Iran, but, pressured by Washington, Russia has not delivered the missile systems that Iran purchased. China suffers from her own hubris as a rising economic power, and is about to lose her energy investments in Iran to US/Israeli aggression. China is funding America’s wars of aggression with loans, and Russia is even helping the US to set up a puppet state in Afghanistan, thus opening up former Soviet central Asia to US hegemony.

Send puppet Obama -- U.S. Corporatists alarmed over China dominance in Africa posted by krill, 2009-07-12 01:24:33
American Corporatists, Bankers and Financiers have sent their, groomed for the task, puppet to Africa to stem Chinese dominance of the oil/resource-rich region. We should mention that commercial trade between the African continent and China has existed for thousands of years, as archaeological evidence in Kenya reveals. However, the modern world has a new brutal, mass murdering, imperial player on the scene, America, which distinguishes itself from civilised nations by unrepentant civilian-killing, huge scale drug manufacturing (by proxy) and political meddling in the affairs of other nations. No other nation comes close to America’s MONSTROUS RECORD in brutality, exploitation and drug proliferation – they are the FACTS, as opposed to FOX ‘news’ spin and propaganda!

Pakistanis Reject U.S. 'Aid' Flights posted by Jeremy Scahill via quill, 2009-07-04 10:47:18
Damn those ungrateful Pakistanis. After U.S. drone attacks killed more than 600 of their people since 2006—most of them civilians—it seems they think they have some right to say they don’t want the U.S. flying its “aid” planes to Swat and other “tribal areas.” The New York Times reports that “the Pakistani authorities have refused to allow American workers or planes to distribute the aid in the camps for displaced people.” The paper reports: (full story and 1 comments)

 Where is Bin Laden? posted by Washington's Blog via fleet, 2009-07-03 09:49:00
Everyone is appropriately outraged that the former head of the CIA unit which hunted Bin Laden for almost a decade - Michael Scheur - told Glenn Beck:
The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States
