10th June, 2005

It appears that adverse health effects near phone masts are not just restricted to humans. A study carried out in Valladolid (Spain) in the last two years on nesting storks found some alarming effects on those with nests near to (less than 200m) the phone mast(s). Not only were reproduction levels far lower, but also behaviour was both less co-ordinated and more aggressive.

There is no economy left to recover. The US manufacturing economy was lost to offshoring and free trade ideology. It was replaced by a mythical “New Economy.”

Nabucco, Turkey, EU And Obama Geopolitics

One of his first foreign visits as new President took Barack Obama to Ankara for a high-profile meeting with Prime Minister Recep Erdogan and other leading Turkish officials. Obama engaged in classical “horse trading” wheeling and dealing. “I give you support for Turkey’s EU membership; you open the diplomatic door to Armenia,” appears to have been the core of the deal. What other inducements the US President gave in the case of Turkish influence within NATO and such is secondary. Obama’s goal was to break a political deadlock in Turkey to construction of a major gas pipeline to Germany and other EU countries in direct opposition to Russian Gazprom’s South Stream pipeline.

Belgian soldiers are sick due to electromagnetic radiations in Afghanistan.

Posted by seumasach on July 19, 2009

Belgian Armed Forces in Afghanistan are falling ill
probably due to the jamming equipment installed in their
armoured vehicles.
The Minister of Defence has started an inquiry.
All soldiers using Pander vehicles in Afghanistan are
complaining of headache and nausea. These complaints
are probably linked to radiations induced by the jamming
equipments installed in their vehicles.
Two soldiers of the 11th engineer battalion in Burcht were
already exempted and taken away from service by
doctors.
The Belgian soldiers are part of the International Forces for Security Assistance (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Facing
the many attacks toward the foreigner soldiers on the Afghanistan territory it was decided to equip Pandur with
Symphony jamming systems. This equipment emits radiation waves that have a harmful effect on the
Belgian military personnel’s health.
According to the Defence Agency these radiations are not over the standard limits but however an inquiry is
open.

US: Iraq’s Nabucco chances better than Iran’s

Posted by seumasach on July 17, 2009

“I don’t think there would ever be an agreement at this point among the Nabucco consortium for Iranian participation at this time,”

Can the English language survive the twists and turns of an increasingly disorientated US foreign policy?  Never, or, at least, not at the moment.

PressTV

Richard Morningstar, the US State Department’s Special Envoy for Eurasian Energy.
A senior US official rules out the possibility of Iran’s participation in Nabucco, saying the gas pipeline consortium would reject Tehran’s involvement.

US diplomacy leaves Kurds adrift

Posted by seumasach on July 17, 2009

So little news  comes out of Iraq that we need to look for clues as to what is actually happening. Here’s a very big clue. How has the US managed the relative stabilisation of Iraq? By conceding ground on the central issue, the integrity of Iraq. All the indications were that the US wanted to partition the country: then, under pressure from the resistance they were forced into a complete about turn.

WASHINGTON – The indefinite postponement of a referendum on Iraqi Kurdistan’s controversial draft constitution just days after a visit by United States Vice President Joe Biden has given rise to speculation that Washington may have played a role in the delay.

Voltairenet

16th July, 2009

La secrétaire d’État Hillary Clinton s’est publiquement inquiétée de la construction d’une méga-ambassade iranienne au Nicaragua. Sur les plateaux de télévision US, des « experts » ont disserté sur les opérations militaires secrètes que les Gardiens de la Révolution iranienne prépareraient en Amérique latine contre les intérêts états-uniens et israéliens. Mais quelle est la base factuelle de ce tintamarre médiatique ?

Reinvestigate 9/11

In a breakthrough for campaigners, a meeting has been held in the new
Parliamentary extension Portcullis House at which speakers challenged
the official story of the 9/11 attacks. This was the first time since
the attacks nearly eight years ago that MPs and Peers heard – on
their own premises – the widespread view outside it: that 9/11 might
have been an inside job.
