From the mainstream press we read, “As scientists confirm the earth has not warmed at all in the past decade, others wonder how this could be and what it means for Copenhagen. It will be a very cold winter of discontent for the warm-mongers. The climate show-and-tell in Copenhagen next month will be nothing more than a meaningless carbon-emitting jaunt, unable to decide just whom to blame or how to divvy up the profitable spoils of climate change hysteria. [1]

A week after my colleague James Delingpole, on his Telegraph blog, coined the term “Climategate” to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit, Google was showing that the word now appears across the internet more than nine million times. But in all these acres of electronic coverage, one hugely relevant point about these thousands of documents has largely been missed.

It’s a fair bet that few around the Thanksgiving dinner table talked much about Dubai last week, even as that Emirate quietly rocked world financial markets with the surprise prospect of the biggest government debt default since Argentina’s back in 2001.

8th June, 2007

“Global Warming” is, and always was, a policy for genocidal reduction of the world’s population. The preposterous claim that human-produced carbon dioxide will broil the Earth, melt the ice caps, and destroy human life, came out of a 1975 conference in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, organized by the influential anthropologist Margaret Mead, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in 1974.

Dubai’s announcement on Wednesday that it would be delaying by “at least” six months the maturity date of $59 billion in bonds issued by the city-state’s largest state-owned company, Dubai World, has sent global shares tumbling. The market reaction to Dubai’s massive debt default is partly explained by the exposure of European and Asian banks to DP World and its tourism subsidiary, Nakheel.

Les égouts de Sa Majesté

Les réseaux stay-behind, qui permettent à l’OTAN de contrôler la vie politique des États alliés, ont été construits à partir des réseaux de résistance au nazisme que les Britanniques avaient organisé et soutenu durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cependant, la lutte contre le communisme a servi de justification à toutes sortes d’opérations au Royaume-Uni même (attentats terroristes sous faux drapeau et assassinats de républicains irlandais), en Europe continentale (principalement en France, au Bénélux, dans les pays nordiques, et jusqu’en Suisse neutre), et même en Afrique et en Asie (par exemple pour encadrer le massacre des populations francophones du Cambodge par les Khmers rouges). Dans ce quatrième volet de l’histoire du Gladio, Daniele Ganser nous dévoile les égouts de Sa Majesté

Britain is currently engulfed by a probing, controversial investigation into how their Government came to support the invasion of Iraq, replete with evidence that much of what was said at the time by both British and American officials was knowingly false, particularly regarding the unequivocal intention of the Bush administration to attack Iraq for months when they were pretending otherwise.  Yesterday, the British Ambassador to the U.S. in 2002 and 2003, Sir Christopher Meyer (who favored the war), testified before the investigative tribunal and said this:
