But electoral benefits will only come with military success and that seems most unlikely. What has undoubtedly been achieved by this invasion is to compromise Obama, to lock him in to the neo-con agenda of endless conflict in the Middle East at a moment when he showed clear signs, under his mentors Brzezinski and Soros, of wanting diplomacy in the Middle East with a view to refocusing US aggression against Russia and China. His agenda is in ruins and the US remains hitched to an Israel veering out of control.

Barack Obama has passed his first test with flying colors. He’s made himself disappear so Israel can continue its killing spree in Gaza. The last time a president shrunk this small was when Ariel Sharon took his wrecking-ball through Jenin during the second intifada. Bush slipped down a mouse hole so Israel’s “Man of Peace” could finish his dirty work unopposed. Now Obama has taken refuge in that same dark hideaway. What a relief it must be for his critics at AIPAC and the far-right think tanks to know that the next Commander in Chief will be every bit as compliant as the last. That’s “continuity they can believe in”.

A DISTURBING new report claims that mobile phones could cause serious long-term damage to the heart and kidneys.
Scientists found that exposing red blood cells to low-level radiation caused them leak a subsance called haemoglobin.
The iron-based part of a red blood cell is vital because it carries oxygen around the body.

This interview is dated 21st October on youTube. Subsequent events appear to have confirmed much of Tarpley’s analysis: we have already had the Georgia War, the Mumbai bombings aimed, it would appear,
to bring India into the US/UK orbit, a
renewed campaign against Zimbabwe and , now,
warnings against Russia for selling missiles to Iran as well as renewed efforts to establish
US military bases in Central Asia. I had tended towards scepticism with regard to Tarpley’s analysis on the basis that this agenda is completely mad. I now bow to Tarpley’s superior insight: this agenda exists in spite of , or, even, because of, the fact that it is mad.

Right up until the commodity bubble burst this summer, there was the ridiculous theory going around that the world was now “decoupled” and that European and emerging markets would somehow avoid being affected by the US slowdown. These decoupling theories disappeared as oil dropped like a rock, only to be replaced by an equally ridiculous idea: that the world’s economic pain would be spread evenly. This is wrong. Although the entire world is going into a recession as a result of the credit crisis, some economies are better prepared than others to weather the storm.
