Christopher King argues that global economic reality calls for Britain and the rest of Europe to disentangle themselves from the politically dysfunctional and economically disadvantageous relationship with the United States and look east to the emerging economic powerhouses of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Twitter can now revert to its plan to shut down its Iran services and attend to maintenance work. Twitter goes into recess pleased that it probably embarrassed a resurgent regional power. The United States government owes Twitter a grand salute for having done something where all other stratagems of war and peace failed in the past three decades.

« Color revolution » fails in Iran

Posted by seumasach on June 30, 2009

Tehran’s « green revolution » is the latest version of the « color revolutions » which have allowed the United States to impose subservient governments in several countries without needing to use force. Thierry Meyssan, who advised two governments facing this type of crisis, analyses this method and the reasons for its failure in Iran.

« Color revolutions » are to revolutions what Canada Dry is to beer. They look like the real thing, but they lack the flavor. They are regime changes which appear to be revolutions because they mobilize huge segments of the population but are more akin to takeovers, because they do not aim at changing social structures. Instead they aspire to replace an elite with another, in order to carry out pro-American economic and foreign policies. The « green revolution » in Tehran is the latest example of this trend.

On July 28, troops in Honduras ousted President Manuel Zelaya and flew him out of the country. Praised by the traditional left for his economic policies and social reforms, Zelaya’s alliance with Hugo Chavez and growing relationship with the ALBA countries were sharply rebuked by the more conservative sectors which also disapproved of his periodic attacks on the United States. From Costa Rica, Zelaya declared: “This was a plot by a very voracious elite, which wants to keep this country in an extreme level of poverty!”. However, it seems improbable that the Honduran elite would have toppled the democratically-elected president without Washington’s prior consent and support, despite assurances to the contrary.

En remettant en question la présence militaire US à Soto Cano et en adhérant à l’ALBA, le Honduras a suscité la colère de Washington. Des militaires formés à l’École des Amériques et encadrés par des conseillers US ont renversé le président constitutionnel Manuel Zelaya et ont installé à sa place son rival de toujours au sein du parti libéral, Roberto Micheletti. Thierry Meyssan revient sur les enjeux de cette confrontation qui marque la volonté de l’administration Obama de reprendre en main l’Amérique latine.

The Truth Behind the Vaccine Cover-Up

Alkalize for Health

I was asked to write a paper on some of the newer mechanisms of vaccine damage to the nervous system, but in the interim I came across an incredible document that should blow the lid off the cover-up being engineered by the pharmaceutical companies in conjunction with powerful governmental agencies.

Monde et contre-monde

L’Occident halète, bouleversé, mobilisé, devant cette crise terrible. La formule “droits de l’homme-démocratie” claque comme un étendard, rythmant la perception que nous avons des manifestations dans les rues de Téhéran. Le nirvana occidentaliste répand son fumet venimeux et dégénéré, et la ferveur nous habite. Nous nous interrogeons, comme autant de midinettes en virée nocturne: pourquoi pas eux, les Iraniens, pourquoi ne bénéficieraient-ils pas de notre faveur royale en suivant nos consignes qui dispensent le bonheur et la liberté du monde? Qu’importe que le “réformiste” iranien ne le soit pas plus que vous et moi. L’essentiel est que les mots (“droits de l’homme-démocratie”) claquent. Il est vrai que notre propre croyance de nous-mêmes en nous-mêmes est en jeu.

European labs discover flu vaccines made by U.S. company are contaminated with H5N1

March 2009 Idaho Observer

Proliberty

The Canadian Press reported on February 27, 2009, that Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International released “contaminated flu virus material” from its plant in Ortho-Donau, Austria, to another Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, which then sent the now-contaminated vaccine product to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. The vaccine in question contained a mix of H3N2 and live H5N1 (current avian flu strain) viruses. The contamination was discovered when the subcontractor in the Czech Republic inoculated ferrets with the product and they all died. Since ferrets should not have died from injections containing H3N2 viruses, the product was tested and the contamination was discovered. Baxter claims the contamination was accidental.

Global systemic crisis in summer 2009: The cumulative impact of three « rogue waves »

Posted by seumasach on June 24, 2009

“Not even the « jobless recovery » many experts are trying to make us believe in. In the United States, United Kingdom, Eurozone and Japan, it is a « recoveryless recovery » we must expect, i.e. a pure invention aimed at convincing US and UK insolvent consumers to start buying again and keeping US T-Bonds’ and UK Gilts’ country purchasers waiting as long as possible (until they decide that there is really no future selling their products to the lands of the US Dollar and British Pound.”

17th June, 2009
As anticipated by LEAP/E2020 as early as October 2008, on the eve of summer 2009, the question of the US and UK capacity to finance their unbridled public deficits has become the central question of international debates, thus paving the way for these two countries to default on their debt by the end of this summer.
