The Medvedev proposal
by F. William Engdahl
22nd July, 2008
Perhaps the most unsettling aspect of the current US Presidential campaign, aside from the studied avoidance of any serious proposals to address the worst economic depression since the 1930’s, is the fact that both major party candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, have to date been stone silent on the most pressing issue of future war or peace, namely the steps taken by the Bush-Cheney Administration to encircle Russia with a new Iron Curtain of NATO member states, including strenuous efforts to push Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, and to establish an advanced nuclear missile defense system which, from a standpoint of military strategy, far from defense, puts the world on a hair-trigger to nuclear holocaust in the few years ahead.

The rapid growth rate of mobile phones, phone masts and wireless communication systems, alongside various reports of possible adverse effects on health, has caused increased concern around the world over the potential effect of electromagnetic pollution on health and the environment. It is clear than a new level of debate needs to take place between scientists, politicians, government regulators, the mass media and the general public in order to develop appropriate precautionary guidance. At present the technology is being increasingly used with almost no effective precautionary advice to the public and urgent guidance is needed in order to alert the public and especially our children.

Cell phones have more dangers than are currently being exposed by official bodies- have a look at this video!
Israel Ministry of Environmental Protection
The Ministry of Environmental Protection warns that a mobile phone charger or any small transformer should be kept at least a half a meter away from the human body to avoid the risk of radiation.
The warning comes in the wake of hundreds of queries from residents asking about radiation exposure when recharging their cell phone.

Agence-France Presse reports:
Spain’s supreme court Thursday overturned the guilty verdicts on four of the 21 people convicted over the Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people in 2004.
It also upheld a lower court’s decision to acquit one of the alleged masterminds of the Al Qaeda-inspired attacks, Rabei Ousmane Sayed Ahmed, known as “Mohammed the Egyptian”.
And it handed down a four-year prison term to a Spaniard, Antonio Toro, who had been acquitted on charges of transporting explosives.
Note: the attack is no longer considered the direct handiwork of al-Qaeda but is rather an “al-Qaeda inspired attack.” Back in March, 2004, the corporate media resoundingly declared al-Qaeda to be responsible.

There are two sides two economic warfare, especially as multipolarity emerges. Countries like Zimbabwe are no longer entirely dependant on the West. Notice that there is still massive British and Western investment in Zimbabwe: they have no moral scruples about exploiting the country -they just want all of it.

Yes, everyone knows that Kosovo is run by the pimping, drug trafficing terrorists of the KLA and that, equally, US/UK and EU policy rests on backing them to the hilt. Reform would seem a long shot but just how bad things are is clear from the fact that the likes of HRW feel obliged to draw attention to the situation.
