Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke issues the warning. Asian nations, China and India first, are no longer willing to purchase securities issued by the US Treasury, which this year has about US$ two trillion short-term debt to refinance. Beijing is buying gold instead.

The pollinator crisis is beyond doubt the greatest ecological crisis of our times threatening, as it does, mass starvation, an outcome, unfortunately, not uncongenial to the our neo-Malthusian elite. Is that why “the greens” or the left (remember them?) have nothing at all to say about it? Is that why the mainstream media is absolutely silent- their very own silent spring? Is that why the work of scientists like Ulrich Warnke is ignored and the investigation is kept in house, entrusted to the same old names, most of them from Penn State University, who are assiduously leading us nowhere?
Having previously ruled out pesticides, not without good reason, they have now ruled it in. Perhaps they understand, after all, the need for some kind of cause, that a combination of none causes isn’t good enough. As long as they don’t mention EM radiation, of course.
So here we are again with the pesticide theory. The hives are steeped in them apparently.In CCD the bees are not found dead in or around the hive. Our researchers explain this by claiming that
” sickened foragers probably die before they get home.”
If they are disorientated by the pesticide to the extent that they can’t get home how does the pesticide get into the hive? If they do get home to leave the pesticide traces why aren’t dead bees found there?
Oh well. Back to the drawing board and a new appeal for more research funding.
This years losses are again terrible but the “experts” continue to serve up nonsense and time is running out for us.

SAN FRANCISCO For years the news has been the same: Honey bees are being hammered by some mysterious environmental plague that has a name — colony collapse disorder – but no established cause. A two-year study now provides evidence indicting one likely group of suspects: pesticides. It found “unprecedented levels” of mite-killing chemicals and crop pesticides in hives across the United States and parts of Canada.

This is an emailed response to Cliff Mason of OFCOM following a proposal by Vodafone that it should be allowed to increase the power of its base stations by a factor of four. The email explains the mechanism by which base station radiation may be responsible for the increased incidence of cancer around them, the decline of the bees, and the loss of many trees within range to pathogens. It also explains how a simple modification to the signal could put it right.
It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to do anything about it.

News that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had reached a plea bargain with David Coleman Headley, who played a key role in the planning of the terrorist strike in Mumbai in November 2008 in which 166 people were killed, has caused an uproar in India.

Birgitta Jonsdottir raises all the main points which are essential as a response to the bankruptcies of the banks:
1) Reject the principal of public liability for private debt- no bailouts!
2) Reject politicians who side with the financiers as the present Icelandic Red/Green coalition appears to be doing. She could have pointed out that their links to finance, pressures brought to bear on them and any leverage which the financiers may have over them must be exposed.
3) Trace all bank assets, on or off the books, and seek to recover these funds and investigate the legality of their operations. In this case a link to the City of London is clear.

Cindy Sheehan’s political instincts seem to lead her infallibly to the right strategy. Here she is doing three things which have to be done and which we certainly don’t see here in Britain. Firstly, she is challenging head on the sinister charlatan and darling of the left, Barack Obama.
Secondly, she sees the need to link the opposition to the wars to the re-examination of the events that made them possible, namely, those of 11th September, 2001.
Thirdly, she sees the need to link up with the emerging multipolar reality- in this case, the Bolivarista movement in South America.

Cindy Sheehan is about to start another anti-war camp. This one will be in Washington, and it could conceivably last for months. The problem?

I read with interest Justin Williams’ column (March 12) in which he advocated for more businesses, from gyms to bowling alleys, to offer Wi-Fi access. He seemed to believe almost everyone couldn’t wait for access, especially since it would be financially advantageous to smartphone users.

“What type of reform? First and for all, the packaging of different debts in impossible to untangle CDOs ld be outlawed. These products are financial time-bombs waiting to explode for the real economy, not only in the United States, but around the world. Second, CDS insurance products should be issued only against insurable securities and not issued as casino chips in values much larger than the value of the insured securities (i.e. no so-called naked CDSs). In order words, the entire innovation of securitization finance has to be reviewed and reigned in before it does further damage. These two reforms could be implemented immediately if politicians really understood the problems or if they were not in the banks’ pockets.”
With Europe under attack by precisely these weapons the pressing question is whether they respond decisively.

I have spent some fifty years studying economic cycles and teaching international finance, but I had never seen the likes of what we witnessed and experienced over the last three years. That’s because such financial crises seem to happen 60 to 75 years apart.

The defusing of major Washington military threats is far from the only gain for Moscow in having a neutral but stable Ukrainian neighbor. Russia now vastly improves its ability to expand the one great power lever it has, outside of its remaining and still formidable nuclear strike force. That lever is to counter Washington’s relentless mililtary pressure by cleverly using export of the world’s largest reserves of natural gas, a fuel much in demand in Western Europe and even in UK where North Sea fields are in decline.

Of course, the reason Russia isn’t part of NATO is that NATO is directed , primarily, against Russia. Still, calling for Russian membership is a good way of neutralising NATO and such a call coming from senior German defence figures is enormously significant.
