During the past several weeks, the public’s attention has been focused on various recent geopolitical developments, and the expiration of Slovenia’s Presidency over the Council of the EU on July 1 is going to remain almost unnoticed against the background. Yet this was the first time in the EU history when such a prominent role was played by a Slavic Balkan country, and high expectations were associated with the fact in the Balkan region.

Much of the world’s history over the last century has been dominated by the United States . But by the turn of the millennium in 2000-2001, the “American Century” had begun to descend into a chamber of horrors.
The years since then have been marked by the huge financial bubbles engineered by the U.S. Federal Reserve System and the virus of predatory global capitalism. We have the looming worldwide economic crisis with rising bankruptcies, credit disruptions, and soaring fuel and food prices. Alongside has been the thinly-disguised but continuing attempt by the U.S. to conquer the Middle East by force of arms under the heading of the “War on Terror.” |

Russia praises formation of Kosovo Serbs’ parliament
Posted by seumasach on July 1, 2008
MOSCOW, July 1 (RIA Novosti) – The parliament set up by the Serbian community in Kosovo is a logical response to Kosovo’s unilateral declaration of independence, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.
Kosovo Serbs gathered last Saturday in the ethnically divided city of Mitrovica for a session to inaugurate their own legislative body, calling it the Assembly of the Union of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo, and draft its mandate.

Timothy Garton Ash, a columnist for the British newspaper The Guardian, has called on “people outside Zimbabwe” to “help the majority inside Zimbabwe have its democratic will recognized” by doing seven things, the first of which is to press their governments for stronger sanctions on Zimbabwe. Ash’s column is titled, “We don’t need guns to help the people pitch Mugabe from his perch.” Read the rest of this entry »

Another excellent German study. When can we expect something similar from British doctors and specialists? Are trolls and agents the only people who are given a voice on these questions in Britain?

Un-busy bees a disaster for almost everyone
Posted by seumasach on June 30, 2008
This mismatch between this disaster and the remedies posed is grotesque, such as the claim that “All Americans can help now with pollinator-friendly practices in their own backyards”. Our back yard is a paradise for bees and pollinators but there are simply none to be found. Further north in the Scottish highlands wild bees are also disappearing and I wouldn’t have thought heavy pesticide use would be much of an issue there. If these people really thought pesticides were the problem surely they would campaign to have them banned.
Last year all the talk was about the Penn state University investigation. Unfortunately that drew a blank. Now it’s open season for scientists to blame anything they like, especially with multi-causal, nothing in particular, explanations; always on the condition that EM radiation isn’t one of them.
Last year they admitted the bees were disappearing; this year they are admitting it is already causing crop loses and that all the other pollinators are also going. We can all see the ecological disaster unfolding around us, but nothing substantial is being done.Unfortunately everyone looks to the experts who for the most part are incapable of thinking globally and who in any event would never risk telling the truth. If anyone ever looks back on this period of history they will characterise it as “la trahison des clercs”, the treachery of the professionals.

Could strawberry ice cream disappear from our lives? What about vanilla Swiss almond?
The folks at Haagen-Dazs are worried enough that they and others have mounted a campaign to halt the shocking decline of honeybees and other pollinators of strawberry plants, almond trees and the rest of the roughly 90 percent of terrestrial plant life that needs pollination.

Guardian caught lying about Zimbabwe
Posted by seumasach on June 29, 2008
I’m not for one moment suggesting that this is the only lie the Guardian has published about Zimbabwe.As Seumas Milne, their associate editor puts it:”The British media have long since largely abandoned any attempt at impartiality in its reporting of Zimbabwe” . But it’s certainly a particularly blatant one.
On 25th June, they published an article attributed to MDC leader Tsvangirai calling for UN peacekeepers to be sent to Zimbabwe. In this highly indiscreet piece Tsvangirai calls for “the words of indignation from global leaders to be backed by the moral rectitude of military force”.
According to today’s Independent the Guardian now accepts “that he [Tsvangirai] had not approved the commentary” so either that or the original attribution is a lie. The most likely interpretation is that the Guardian, or someone who deceived them, were trying to bounce Tsvangirai into adopting this suicidal position . Perhaps as the same Independent article tends to suggest Tsvangirai has outlived his usefulness to his political masters.

The Guardian have, unsurprisingly, removed the article from their website but it can be found here.
