Brown continues his strutting and fretting on the world stage tirelessly pursuing the chimera of another century(or is it a thousand years) of Anglo-saxon world hegemony. Given that the game is up Brown has to be commended for his “never say die” attitude, However, said or unsaid, the empire is dead.

Wall Street’s most storied firm is surviving on taxpayer dollars
Daniel Gross, Slate.com
While it was singed in the credit meltdown, Goldman Sachs, the alpha male of Wall Street, has emerged as a survivor. The cover of last week’s Barron’s heralded the resurrection of Goldman and Morgan Stanley – “the sole standouts,” as Andrew Bary called them. The company’s shares have rallied back above $100, and its market capitalization is nearly $47 billion. Goldman’s emergence from the wreckage could be seen as yet another glorious chapter for the firm. Charles Ellis, in his book about Goldman, The Partnership, lionized the firm as the only company “with such strengths that it operates with almost no external constraints in virtually any financial market it chooses, on the terms it chooses, on the scale it chooses, when it chooses, and with the partners it chooses.” For the paperback, Ellis might want to add the following proviso: so long as the government is willing to give it billions of dollars.

The Malthusian campaign is really getting into gear now under the cover of a supposed global warming: thirty million of us must go. With the catastrophic effects of the proliferation and intensification of electrosmog and its devastating effects on all lifeforms, most significantly bees and other pollinators, who is to say that this modest proposal from Britain’s genocidal elite won’t become a reality. The war on humanity has begun.
JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.

Are anyone’s days entirely free of “offenses” that can get you arrested?
By Robert Neuwirth
I spent 24 hours in the slammer the other day. My crime? Well, the police couldn’t tell me when they locked me up. The prosecutor and judge couldn’t either, when I was arraigned the following day. I found out for myself when I researched the matter a few days after being released: I had been cited for walking my dog off the leash – once, six years ago.

Webster Tarpley
25th March. 2009
WASHINGTON, DC – On the eve of the long-awaited London conference of the G-20 nations, we are rapidly descending into the chaos of a Second World Economic Depression of catastrophic proportions. In the year since the collapse of Bear Stearns, we have moved toward the disintegration of the entire globalized world financial system, based on the residual status of the US dollar as a reserve currency, and expressed through the banking hegemony of London, New York, and the US-UK controlled international lending institutions like the International Monetary fund and the World Bank. This is a breakdown crisis of world civilization, prepared over decades by the folly of deindustrialization and the illusions of a postindustrial society, further complicated by the deregulation and privatization of the leading economies based on the Washington Consensus, itself a distillation of the economic misconceptions of the Austrian and Chicago monetarist schools. If current policies are maintained, we face the acute danger of a terminal dollar disintegration and world hyperinflation. Read the rest of this entry »

A somewhat belated post but it’s good to see opposition to NATO and missile defence emerging in Poland. Of course, the first thing Obama did was to send some patriot missiles to Poland. For NATO and the empire control of Poland remains a top priority, just as in the days of Mackinder who summarised it’s significance (since Eastern Europe means above all Poland as a barrier between Germany and Russia) as follows:
“Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;
Who rules the Heartland commands the world-island;
Who rules the world-island controls the world.”
Poland, Cracow: NATO anti-summit [19-20 February 2009]

One of the subjects will surely be missile defense. This is a subject which the defense ministers deal with, before it goes to the meeting of the government leaders (Strasbourg 4 April 2009).

Igor Panarin, doctor of political science, dean of the foreign affairs department at the Diplomacy Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, presented this forecast ten years ago. At that time his forecasts seemed unrealistic, but now many of them are coming true.
