US threatens to nuke Iran and anyone else it feels like nuking

The 2010 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference will convene from 3-28 May 2010 in New York. This year’s conference – as with previous years’ – promises to be yet another battle between the developing and the nuclear-armed nations. The US insists that the NPT needs to be rewritten so as to place greater limits on what it calls “nuclear weapons proliferation” whilst the developing nations say that the concern over proliferation is being used as a pretext by the US to avoid its own obligations under the same treaty to disarm its own nukes and to share nuclear technology with everyone else. This year, the same conflict will likely continue, and the US (and the US media) will of course try to blame it on Iran when in fact the emphasis on disarmament is shared by a number of countries called the New Agenda Coalition that includes Brazil, New Zealand and Egypt, and is not limited to Iran.

Who judges the judges? Reporters Without Borders seems to have a geopolitical agenda

An organization calling itself Reporters Without Borders (RWB; French: Reporters sans frontières, or RSF) has just named Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, China’s President Hu Jintao, Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kazakhstan’s Nursultan Nazarbayev and Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko to their list of Forty Worst Predators of Press Freedom for 2010. Most significant about their list of ‘bad guys’ is the geopolitical relation of those leaders and those countries to the current ‘enemies list’ of the US State Department. That is no accident, as becomes clear when we look more closely at who funds RWB.

Greek bailout signals time for change in eurozone

Posted by seumasach on May 5, 2010

“Why have hardly any attempts to impose stronger controls on the finance markets made any progress? Why is it that a few rating agencies can determine the fortune of an entire national economy? Why do taxpayers rescue banks, only to have the banks turn around and speculate against entire states? It seems that lobbyists representing the financial industry are doing their jobs just as well as ever.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said that financial aid for Greece would probably not be necessary and would only be used as a last resort. Now, it’s surprising how quickly the worst case scenario has come about. The Germans and other Europeans are gritting their teeth and paying up.

Bee numbers plummet as billions of colonies die across the world

Posted by seumasach on May 4, 2010

“The British government’s National Bee Unit denies the existence of CDD over  here, blaming the bloodsucking varroa mite and rainy summers that have stopped  bees foraging for food.”

Despite the observable fact that there are no bees, and reports of their disappearance by beekeepers, the British government stands firm: there is no CCD in Britain.

“Pesticides are believed to be a key cause of a crisis known as Colony Collapse Disorder”

Note the use of the passive voice: but who, precisely, believes that? The official investigation has ruled out all specific causes. CCD is rife in areas where the suspected pesticides are not used, notably Spain.

The authorities persist in ignoring the very powerful case that CCD is caused by EM radiation.

They also fail to link CCD to the disappearance of other species such as bats, small birds, butterflies, beetles etc.

The world faces a future with little meat and no cotton because of a catastrophic collapse in bee colonies, experts have warned.

Many vital crops are dependent on pollination by honeybees, but latest figures show a third failed to survive the winter in the U.S.

The world may be on the brink of biological disaster after news that a third of US bee colonies did not survive the winter

Click here for role of EM radiation in causing CCD

Disturbing evidence that honeybees are in terminal decline has emerged from the United States where, for the fourth year in a row, more than a third of colonies have failed to survive the winter.

The decline of the country’s estimated 2.4 million beehives began in 2006, when a phenomenon dubbed colony collapse disorder (CCD) led to the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of colonies. Since then more than three million colonies in the US and billions of honeybees worldwide have died and scientists are no nearer to knowing what is causing the catastrophic fall in numbers.

Another European conflict or final reconciliation?

New Europe

2nd May, 2010

The issue around the indebtedness of Greece and the painstaking efforts by EU and IMF to save this country from a possible credit default, have managed to divide…Germany.  However, Let’s take one thing at a time. The huge industrial sector of the largest economy of Europe wants a cheaper euro to support its export. Traditionally the German economy has been export driven and its machine and auto car sectors effectively supported the well being of its people. Over the past two decades however, the financial sector of the western economy, in North America and Western Europe gradually pushed the manufacturing to second place. Unfortunately this was not without cost. Two crises; one in stock exchanges towards the turn of the millennium, and the other in credit sector during 2008 have shaken the entire world. In any case the financial sector is irrevocably the prime sector of the developed economies, while manufacturing slips bit by bit to the developing regions in China, India, Brazil and elsewhere. Germany however, has managed to maintain a very special position in up-market manufactured products, like machines and cars. Its financial sector has developed exponentially and has spread all over the world. The strong euro was, over the past ten years , a very strong base on which the German banks took global dimensions and expanded to New York, London and the other financial centers.
