After the tragic events of July 5 in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, it would be useful to look more closely into the actual role of the US Government’s ”independent“ NGO, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). All indications are that the US Government, once more acting through its “private” Non-Governmental Organization, the NED, is massively intervening into the internal politics of China. Engdahl’s article ties in with Thierry Meyssan’s consistent reporting (see below) of the covert nature of the NED and “sister” organizations which are engaged in the destabilization of countries of strategic, geopolitical interest for Washington under the guise of liberty and democracy.
This is rather sensational news which seems to point inexoarably towards detente between the USa and Iran. The US would have preferred a different regime in Iran but their orange revolution has obviously failed. Will we see convergence nonetheless?
How a trans-Caspian gas pipeline project came to be named after the 19th-century Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Verdi’s famous opera Nabucco remains obscure. The opera is based on a Biblical story about the tragic plight of persecuted Jews exiled from their homeland by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. Maybe, the opera’s enchanting story of love and struggle or its tendency toward melodrama was considered an apt metaphor for the acute Caspian energy rivalry. Read the rest of this entry »
I was an amateur radio enthusiast before becoming a professional biologist, but kept my interest in radio throughout a long career as a lecturer at Imperial College London. No one appreciates more than I the wonders of engineering that have gone into even the cheapest cell phone, but equally I know the very real dangers that cell phone signals present to both the user and people living near cell towers.
Une fois de plus la presse occidentale aborde la Chine qu’elle connaît mal au travers du prisme idéologique de la Guerre froide. Ainsi le conflit ethnico-social entre ouigours et hans donne lieu à une récitation sur l’oppression du « régime » de Pékin. Domenico Losurdo démonte ce préjugé.

INTRODUCTION:Mobile phones have become indispensable in the daily lives of men and women around the globe. As cell phone use has become more widespread, concerns have mounted regarding the potentially harmful effects of RF-EMR from these devices. Read the rest of this entry »
Après avoir tendu la main aux musulmans (tout en tentant de déstabiliser l’Iran), avoir tendu la main aux Russes (tout en continuant à préparer l’installation en Europe de l’Est de missiles pointés sur eux), le président Obama tend la main aux Africains. Partout, il propose de refonder les relations avec les États-Unis sans solder les crimes du passé. Manlio Dinucci révèle ce qui se cache derrière cette soudaine sollicitude.
Having established saintly status for himself Obama can now get off with this mendacious, racist caricature of Africa and rebrand Western plunder as “patronage”. The nerve of this charlatan, fresh from putting the finishing touches to the US kleptocracy, in attacking African leaders for self-enrichment is astounding and puts him firmly in the Blair, Goebbels school of deception and hypocrisy.
Here is a particularly brazen lie:
“But the West is not responsible for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy over the last decade”
For in depth exposure of this lie we recommend Stephen Gowan’s blog, What’s Left. Alternatively look at our Zimbabwe section in “categories” ( left-hand column)
Africans need to take cognisance of the fact that behind the “partnership” verbiage lies the menace of Africom. ITNT strongly recommends that African states reject any “health” initiatives coming from the USA.
New depths have been plumbed by Rupert Murdoch‘s newspapers. If the Guardian’s revelations only concerned lurid journalism it would be disgraceful but not sinister. However, the way the police, the public prosecutor and judiciary appear to have prevented exposure of this industrial-scale bugging is a reminder of just how cleverly Murdoch companies manipulate officialdom.
“This isn’t some abstract notion that we’re trying to impose upon Africa,” he told allAfrica.com. “There is a very practical pragmatic consequence to political instability and corruption when it comes to whether people can feed their families, educate their children. And we think that the African continent is a place of extraordinary promise as well as challenges. We’re not going to be able to fulfil those promises unless we see better governance.”
Behind the vacuous blether of the Great Charlatan lies a real threat to the African nations. With the empire in retreat everywhere else Africa should realize that it is now being sized up for soft pickings.
The US is planning a dramatically more assertive policy in Africa, sometimes backed by a threat of force, to end conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria that are seen as among the principal obstacles to the continent’s revival.
Before you start crying “warming denial” it is as well to become aware that even the warmers have admitted that it isn’t actually warming , due to “natural climate variations” which they hadn’t taken into account. In the end, only the thermometer can resolve this implacable struggle between “warmers” and “warming deniers” or “coolers”
July 9, 2009 (LPAC) — Even as the U.S. Senate and the Group of 8 nations meeting in Italy continue their endless jabbering about greenhouse gases, nature is not cooperating.
