While the deployment of 10000 US troops in Haiti has been qualified by a number of Latin American political leaders as an invasion and occupation under the guise of a humanitarian relief operation, the arrival of the USS Bataan in Haiti raises even more questions.

Google Attacks China as Washington-Beijing Hostility Deepens

21st January, 2010

In the current showdown between Google and the Chinese Government, the media is portraying Google as the champion of Internet freedom upholding the human rights of the Chinese people. This is sheer hypocrisy considering that Google is part of a cartel of Internet companies colluding with the US intelligence apparatus, including in foreign government destabilization. Is it any wonder that the Chinese authorities should perceive Google as a conduit for black propaganda? However, the current brawl is only part of a much broader geopolitical and economic tug-of-war percolating between the two countries, as Tarpley expounds in this article.

Haiti and the seismic weapon

The controversy that followed the publication on our website of an article entertaining the possibility that the earthquake in Haiti was caused artificially, calls for clarification. Yes, seismic weapons do exist and the United States, among others, have them. Yes, the U.S. military forces were pre-positionned to be deployed to the island. These facts are not conclusive in themselves but they certainly warrant further scrutiny.

Russia, Turkey and the Great Game: Changing teams

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev’s visit to Turkish last month shows that Turkey and Russia are rapidly developing close economic and political ties.

For all intents and purposes, Turkey has given up on the European Union, recognising it as a bastion of Islamophobia and captive to US diktat. As Switzerland bans minarets and France moves to outlaw the niqab, the popular Islamist government in Istanbul moves in the opposite direction — supporting the freedom to wear headscarfs, boldly criticising Israel and building bridges with Syria. This is nothing less than a fundamental realignment of Turkish politics towards Turkey’s natural allies — the Arabs … and the Russians.

Low Level Radiation Campaign

Simon Jenkins’ opinionated and unscientific rant on Friday 8th January 2010 [1] is not worth wasting time on. However, The Guardian’s staff, reporting over that weekend (7th to 11th January 2010), have fallen victim to a long-running propaganda campaign.

The Return of the Neocons

22nd January, 2010

For all his eminence—or maybe because of it—the funeral for Irving Kristol this past September was an understated affair. Some thought Dick Cheney might show up, but neither he nor any other Republican leader did; it seemed almost ungrateful, given Kristol’s extraordinary contribution to the GOP—how he’d brought intellectual legitimacy and heft to what he himself had once called “the stupid party.” None of the Republican congressional leadership was there, nor any of the would-be candidates for 2012—not even Sarah Palin, whom Kristol’s ubiquitous son, Bill, had helped turn into a political phenomenon.

Report: US weapon test aimed at Iran caused Haiti quake

Posted by seumasach on January 23, 2010

A US High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) station, Gakon, Alaska

Ulrich Warnke has drawn attention to the role of EM radiation in disorientating bees (CCD). In particular, he has drawn attention to the role of HAARP as a major source of such radiation. Is the fact that the role of EM radiation in CCD is a taboo issue, indeed, virtually a national security issue related to this and do we face a “perfect storm” , the degradation of species, including humans, environment and planet through the utilisation of this technology for both communications and war?
