Why do we tune in to watch a North American President giving a speech about the “Middle East”?  Can we change the channel and watch the President of China pontificating on the “Far West”, or an African President telling Europeans that they have a choice between hope and hate?  In the words of hip-hop artist Lowkey, Barack Obama’s speech was not much more than “the eloquent voice of an empire in decline”.

The police and the prostitute media have made it impossible for Dominique Strauss-Kahn to get a fair trial. From the moment of the announcement that he had been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a hotel maid, and before he was ever indicted, the accounts given by the police were designed to create the impression that the director of the International Monetary Fund was guilty. For example, the police told the media, which duly regurgitated to the public, that Strauss-Kahn was in such a hurry to flee the scene of the crime that he left behind his cell phone. The police also put out the story that by calling airlines and demanding passenger lists, they managed to catch the fleeing rapist just as his plane was departing for France.

US flexes muscle in the Black Sea

Posted by seumasach on May 17, 2011

“Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;

who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island;

who rules the World-Island controls the world.”

Posted by seumasach on May 17, 2011

“Ironically, Afghanistan is all set now to become the ”hub” that will bring Central Asia and South Asia together – except that the historic process is taking place not under US stewardship, as Starr conceived, Bush probably wanted and Obama failed to follow up, but under Chinese and Russian partnership.”

Grand visions take time to realize but they seldom die. They may languish but they regenerate and take new unexpected forms. The ”Great Central Asia” strategy envisioned by the George W Bush administration is most certainly one such grand vision.
