Christopher King
8th October, 2009
Christopher King analyses the current state of relations between Europe and the United States. He argues that the US military presence in Europe, and the transformation of NATO into an American tool, is tantamount to military occupation and is an obstacle to the development of pan-European and European-Russian relations.

Richard Falk
9th October, 2009
In dissecting the Goldstone Report, Richard Falk points to a number of limitations and pitfalls which he himself would undoubtedly have averted. He nevertheless acclaims the report as an historic milestone in the struggle for Palestinian justice, which has already shaken Israel’s pedestal of impunity. As the power cards in the region are being reshuffled, it remains to be seen just how far-reaching its impact will really be. But, as it is, the “before and after” line has already been drawn.

The story hit like a thief in the night, even bearing Biblical proportions. The end of the exlusive sale of MidEast oil in USDollars, the rise of Russian and Chinese influence in the Persian Gulf, the rise in importance for the Intl Monetary Fund basket of currencies, the final clarion call for the free ride by Americans on the Dollar Credit Card, and hidden implications that the Saudis must shop for a new security lord in the region with broad military might, these are revolutionary steps with profound geopolitical implications.

In a world where war criminals like Tony Blair are rewarded and those that oppose war criminals, like the Iraqi shoe thrower Muntadhar al-Zeidi, are imprisoned and tortured, it comes as no surprise that another war criminal – Barack H. Obama – has been rewarded for his stoic service to imperial bloodletting with the Nobel Peace Prize.

Europe may be perched above the precipice of its first armed conflict since NATO’s 78-day bombing war against Yugoslavia in 1999 and the resultant armed invasion of Macedonia from NATO-occupied Kosovo two years later.

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
So what on Earth is going on?

Glenn Greenwald

Ever since Iran reported the existence of its Qom enrichment facility to the IAEA, one central assertion has been repeated as fact over and over by the American media to make the story as incriminating as possible: namely, that Iran only disclosed this because they discovered they had been “caught,” i.e., they found out that the West knew of this facility and they thus had no choice but to disclose it. That assertion has been fundamental to the entire Iran drama. After all, if Iran voluntarily notified the IAEA of the Qom facility before it was even operational and thus agreed to have the facility inspected, it’s impossible to maintain the melodramatic storyline that Iran was planning something deeply nefarious here and got “caught red-handed.” The assertion that Iran was forced into disclosure is vital to the entire plot, and it’s been constantly repeated as fact.

The AfIrPac agenda takes shape

| Interested in developing their economic and energy ties, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan will hold a trilateral summit in November.
The Islamic Republic News Agency reported Wednesday that Pakistan’s Ambassador to Iran Mohammad Bakhsh Abbasi announced the upcoming summit in the capital Tehran during a news conference highlighting the “Defense Day of Pakistan.” Abbasi did not mention the venue of the summit. Addressing journalists Abbasi said he was optimistic that because Iran’s recent negotiations with members of the 5 plus 1 Group (France, Britain, Russia, China, the United States and Germany) were successful, Iran could continue to defend its rights as an independent country. Turning to economic matters the ambassador observed, “Tehran’s and Islamabad’s trade stood at $1 billion this year, of which 80 percent consisted of Iran’s oil exports to Pakistan.” Energy also forms a significant part of Afghan-Iranian trade, which in 2008 reached $500 million. Of Iran’s exports, oil accounts for nearly 45 percent of the country’s revenue. |

F William Engdahl
9th October, 2009
Arab oil-producing nations and some of the world’s largest oil consumers including China and Japan are reliably reported to be planning a long-term exit from pricing their oil trade in US dollars. If true, it would spell the death knell for the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and for the United States as global economic power.
