The tectonic plates of the geopolitical landscape are shifting, visibly, as the consequences of our crazed foreign policy are being felt at home and abroad. That alarming crunching sound you hear is the impact of the sudden realization that, in Iraq, the government our troops are fighting and dying for is openly demanding that we leave.

Who is trying to sabotage better British-Russian relations?

See EoE archives for more on Litvinenko case
On Monday, Gordon Brown met the new Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, on the fringe of the G8 summit in Hokkaido. It was the first meeting between the two political leaders at a time of deep depression in UK-Russian relations, and the hope was that it would lay the foundation for some improvement.

Russia: Report suggesting Kremlin involvement in Litvinenko death aimed to preserve tension
Posted by seumasach on July 8, 2008
Mr Prikhodko has got it exactly right. Sections within he British elite and security services are intent on frustrating the emergence of any pragmatic tendancy intent on a realistic adaption to imperial decline. This senile faction of nostalgics continues to run increasingly drole campaigns against “bloody foreigners” who it sees as a threat. The culmination of their idiocy is the attempt to isolate Russia form the “international community”. However, it is Britain who is isolating itself and digging itself deeper into a hole as its international position and economy and financial status implode. We now urgently need to build a pragmatic centre in British politics capable of making the necessary decisions to extricate ourselves from a mess of our own making.

A top Kremlin aide suggests a British media report pointing to Russian government involvement in the killing of Alexander Litvinenko is aimed at scuttling efforts for a rapprochement between Russia and Britain.

WHO and mobile-phone basestation studies

Dear Dr. Emilie van Deventer, head of WHO electromagnetic fields project
I wrote you a month ago with the following question. Although I have not yet received a reply, I still hope you will be so kind as to take a moment to look into this:
You gave a presentation at a governmental EMF conference in Copenhagen 27’th of may. After your presentation, I asked you why the WHO fact sheet on mobile-phone base-stations states there is no evidence of harm from such installations when 80% of WHO acknowledged studies on people living near mobile-phone base-stations show increased risk of impaired well-being, neurological diseases and cancer.
You replied that you were aware of the studies in question, but that they were not performed according to “correct protocol”.
I am most curious to learn what protocol the WHO has developed for studies on people living near mobile-phone base-stations and therefore I trust you will have no trouble in referring me to the location on the WHO website where this protocol can be examined.
Best Regards,
Henrik Eiriksson

Spy in a coma found ‘with blood everywhere’ by painter who used his artist colony house
Posted by seumasach on July 6, 2008
The story so far(part one here): Mr Alex Allan, head of British Intelligence, lives amidst tight security “among a handful of painters, sculptors, jewellers and print-makers in a dedicated artists’ colony in Hammersmith” where he has been found in a coma. The government denies foul-play but experts know that he was really poisoned by the Russians. However, revelations by “wildlife painter Dominique Salm, who took over the studio in his home when his artist wife of 29 years, Katie Clemson, died of cancer last year” suggest otherwise

The mystery surrounding the sudden illness of Britain’s top spy deepened last night after a neighbour revealed he was found covered in blood by an artist who worked in his house.

We’ve won the “War on Terror”!
Posted by seumasach on July 6, 2008
It was always inevitable that the defeat in Iraq would be declared a victory and that the charge would be trumpeted amidst retreat . Now the project initiated by General Fallon can be resumed with Martin McGuinness helping out with a bit of “conflict resolution”. However, constructive reengagement with Iran, Syria and Russia would be indispensable as well as a clipping of the wings of Israel.

Zimbabwe and the new Cowardly Colonialism

Western intervention against Robert Mugabe’s ‘evil regime’ put Zimbabwe into an economic straitjacket and disempowered its people
Brendan O’Neil (Spiked)
3rd July, 2008
‘We’ve beaten Mugabe’, said a frontpage headline in the London Evening Standard yesterday. Only there were no quote marks around the words ‘We’ve beaten Mugabe’, which made it difficult to tell if the paper was reporting the thoughts of Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) upon its electoral victory over Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF Party, or its own back-slapping relish at the thought that its journalism may have played a part in toppling Mugabe. Indeed, ‘We’ve beaten Mugabe’ could be the slogan of political and media operators in Britain and elsewhere in the West, who like to fantasise that Mugabe is ‘Africa’s Hitler’, that his Zimbabwe was ‘more evil than, for example, China and Saudi Arabia’, and that it is up to the West to ‘put pressure on Zimbabwe to change’ (1).

Hunkering Down in Afghanistan with Field-Marshall Obama

Afghanistan was supposed to be the “good war”; a “just response” to the attacks of September 11. It was supposed to bring Bin Laden to justice “dead or alive” and quash terrorism in the places where it originated. 95 per cent of the American people supported the invasion of Afghanistan. Now less than half think the U.S. will prevail. The war was promoted as a way to replace a repressive fundamentalist regime with a democratic government based on western ideals. The Bush administration promised to rebuild war-torn Afghanistan, transform its feudal system into a free market economy, and liberate its women from the oppression of Islamic extremism.
