The USA looks on, helplessly, at a counter-globalisation process of nations collaborating for mutual security and benefit in the face of the fading empire.

The US State Department has rebuked Russia’s decision to sell a package of sophisticated arms, worth 2 billion dollars, to Venezuela. The US government says Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez does not truly need the weapons and has high ambitions that “go beyond his country’s defensive needs,” according to DPA news agency. |

Journalist Eamonn McCann’s article,“Mercenary approach,” in the 10 August edition of Ireland’s current affairs magazine Village discusses the latest news in the ongoing struggle for justice for murdered Belfast man Peter McBride. Writes McCann:
The mother of a teenager shot dead by British soldiers in Belfast has launched a campaign for an inquiry into the alleged killing of civilians by private consultants in Iraq. Jean McBride’s 18-year-old son, Peter McBride, was shot dead by members of the Scots Guards regiment in the New Lodge Road area in September 1992. The men’s commander, Lt Col Tim Spicer, now heads the company at the centre of the Iraq allegations.

Baathist website al-moharer.net published the text of a lengthy speech by Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, described as “leader of Resistance and Liberation, general secretary of the Socialist Baath Party,” dated July 17, and an English rendition dated today July 20. Their English is getting better; however, what follows is my own rendition of a few paragraphs toward the end of the address in which Douri mentions other groups, and resistance strategy generally:

The Medvedev proposal
by F. William Engdahl
22nd July, 2008
Perhaps the most unsettling aspect of the current US Presidential campaign, aside from the studied avoidance of any serious proposals to address the worst economic depression since the 1930’s, is the fact that both major party candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, have to date been stone silent on the most pressing issue of future war or peace, namely the steps taken by the Bush-Cheney Administration to encircle Russia with a new Iron Curtain of NATO member states, including strenuous efforts to push Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, and to establish an advanced nuclear missile defense system which, from a standpoint of military strategy, far from defense, puts the world on a hair-trigger to nuclear holocaust in the few years ahead. |

Agence-France Presse reports:
It also upheld a lower court’s decision to acquit one of the alleged masterminds of the Al Qaeda-inspired attacks, Rabei Ousmane Sayed Ahmed, known as “Mohammed the Egyptian”.
And it handed down a four-year prison term to a Spaniard, Antonio Toro, who had been acquitted on charges of transporting explosives.
Note: the attack is no longer considered the direct handiwork of al-Qaeda but is rather an “al-Qaeda inspired attack.” Back in March, 2004, the corporate media resoundingly declared al-Qaeda to be responsible.

There are two sides two economic warfare, especially as multipolarity emerges. Countries like Zimbabwe are no longer entirely dependant on the West. Notice that there is still massive British and Western investment in Zimbabwe: they have no moral scruples about exploiting the country -they just want all of it.

“The Venezuelan president urged members of the recent PetroCaribe summit to set up IMF-independent financial institutions with such countries as Russia, Belarus, China, India and Iran.”
To begin with, Chavez just kept going back for more and more Kalashnikovs: now he’s flirting with the idea of a completely new financial architecture for the world.

Yes, everyone knows that Kosovo is run by the pimping, drug trafficing terrorists of the KLA and that, equally, US/UK and EU policy rests on backing them to the hilt. Reform would seem a long shot but just how bad things are is clear from the fact that the likes of HRW feel obliged to draw attention to the situation.
21st July, 2008
Washington, DC, 18 July 2008 – President George W. Bush should use his meeting with Kosovo’s prime minister to press for improvements to its poor human rights record, Human Rights Watch said today. Bush is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu in Washington, DC, on Monday, July 21.
