The New World Order is not turning out as planned. Instead of all power emanating from London and Washington, new power centres are emerging to the South and East: a new global equilibrium raises the possibility of a new post-imperial age of peace and equality between nations.

There’s no way to understand the larger-than-life United States-Iran psychodrama, the Western push for regime change in both Syria and Iran, and the trials and tribulations of the Arab Spring(s) – now mired in perpetual winter – without a close look at the fatal attraction between Washington and the GCC.

The War With Iran Will Not Be One-Sided. Should World War III break out, it would differ from World Wars I and II

As America escalates tension with Iran, the world should stand by Tehran and the UN must cease to behave like the handmaiden of the West.

Vladimir Putin is one of the few remaining world leaders with the gumption to obstruct Washington’s agenda of full spectrum dominance. The recent Russian elections provided the context for a full-scale attempt to destabilize the country. Spearheaded by the infamous National Endowment for Democracy, the script included the usual cast of western-coached characters, including a blogger, without which a “color revolution” would not be complete. Engdahl analyzes the geo-political ramifications of Washington’s rash movements.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s visit to Iran doesn’t appear to have gone well. The rhetoric is all Turkey’s — and in a subtle way, Iranian official media have been gently mocking at it. The fact is, Turkey cannot afford such poor relations with almost all its neighbours — Iran, Syria, Iraq, Armenia, Cyprus, Israel. With France and EU, too, things are rocky.

The redistribution of global power modifies relations between great powers and invites them to reconsider their diplomatic priorities. While in the aftermath of World War II the future of Europe was proactively shaped by the United States, or more precisely, by a group of American “Wise Men”, China is now in a position to have an unprecedented impact on the European integration. As Beijing fully develops its immense potential and becomes the world’s biggest economy in the coming decade, its capacity to influence will certainly grow.

NEW YORK—The world’s bond buyers have turned on Europe’s deeply indebted governments and fled to another deeply indebted government across the Atlantic — the U.S. As a result, U.S borrowing costs have plunged to historic lows while rising rates in Europe have many worried about a catastrophic financial crisis.

En 1945 L’Organisation des Nations-Unies s’est créée après le choc de la deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Aujourd’hui, le nouvel ordre mondial est en train de se mettre en place après le lourd sacrifice de l’Afrique, après le choc des milliers de morts de Côte d’Ivoire dont les 1200 villageois de Duékoué et des dizaines de milliers de morts Libyens, même si l’Otan a décidé d’insulter notre intelligence en parlant de zero mort et ce, après 26.323 sorties, 9.658 raids de bombardement, 7.700 bombes et missiles tirés par l’OTAN sur la Libye, avec la complicité des Nation-Unies qui étaient censées les protéger. L’ONG britannique Stop the War Coalition a certifié l’utilisation par l’OTAN des armes de destruction massive en Libye à travers les bombes et missiles contenant le fameux DU (depleted uranium), c’est de l’uranium appauvri, pour tuer le plus de personnes possibles. Daniele Cardetta dans le journal italien Articolo3, avance le chiffre de 60.000 morts. C’est le journal italien Nibiru2012 qui conclut que 60.000 morts sur une population libyenne de 6 millions sont 1% de la population décimée par l’Otan en Libye et que cela équivaudrait en proportion à 3 millions d’américains que des puissances étrangères viendraient décimer avec des bombes non conventionnelles. Et au lieu de mener la moindre enquête, l’Onu a tourné la tête ailleurs, vers Abidjan pour le méchant désigné le Président Gbagbo. C’est contre tout cela que la Chine a décidé de prendre les devants et de mettre sur pied un nouvel ordre mondial. Voici comment :

The China-Japan agreement to stop using the dollar, or any other currency, in their bilateral transactions was a very strong blow to the US financial standing in world affairs. To a lesser degree this Chino-Nippon agreement is also detrimental to the Eurozone.
