There is no doubt bigger players were involved and not just in the British elite: Spain sent a naval taskforce to support the coup
Ventura County Star By Lydia Polgreen New York Times News Service Wednesday, June 18, 2008 DAKAR, Senegal — The plot to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea in 2004 was so improbable, it sounded like something out of a tale from the tropics, too outlandish even for Graham Greene.

Vladimir Putin’s recent visit to France, which ended May 30, left European mass media in mixed feelings. Respectable newspapers, like Britain’s The Times or Switzerland’s Neue Zurcher Zeitung, wrote in their articles that Putin had received an inappropriate welcome in Paris, which did not match his official position of the prime minister. European journalists were surprised to see that Putin’s meeting with his French counterpart Francois Fillon was held without reporters. To crown it all, President Sarkozy invited Putin for private dinner.

The west’s ‘good war’ in Afghanistan has turned bad. A local solution, rather than a neocolonial one, is what’s needed

In the latest clashes on the Pakistan-Afghan border, Nato troops have killed 11 Pakistani soldiers and injured many more, creating a serious crisis in the country and angering the Pakistan military high command, already split on the question.

Dark spots, some as large as 50,000 miles in diameter, typically move across the surface of the sun, contracting and expanding as they go. These strange and powerful phenomena are known as sunspots, but now they are all gone. Not even solar physicists know why it’s happening and what this odd solar silence might be indicating for our future.

On June 9, 1999, the 78-day war that NATO waged on what was then Yugoslavia came to a close. Representatives of Yugoslav military and NATO signed an armistice in the Macedonian town of Kumanovo, paving the way for NATO’s takeover of the province. At the time, it was spun in the West as a victory for the Alliance – Yugoslav president Milosevic “caved” and “capitulated,” and his army was “forced” from Kosovo. Yet on paper, it was a defeat; Serbia had resisted ten times longer than anyone in Washington or Mons expected, and the terms of the Kumanovo treaty were much better for Belgrade than the disgraceful Rambouillet ultimatum, which NATO sought to impose at the beginning of the bombing. What was to be a purely NATO occupation became a UN mission (UNMIK) and Serbia’s territorial integrity was explicitly guaranteed by the UN resolution 1244.

If you had any doubts that the wireless industry is in total control of the RF health debate, you need only to have gone to the workshop held at the FCC’s Washington headquarters on June 28. By the end of the day, the fog would have lifted.

An earlier article by this author (“The Secret Bailout of JP Morgan”) summarized evidence presented by John Olagues, an expert in options trading, suggesting that JPMorgan, far from “rescuing” Bear Stearns, was actually its nemesis.1 The faltering investment bank was brought down, not by “rumors,” but by insider trading based on a plan drawn up much earlier. The deal was a lucrative one for JPM, handing the Wall Street megabank $55 billion in loans from the Federal Reserve (meaning ultimately the U.S. taxpayer). So how did JPM get away with it? Olagues notes the highly suspicious fact that JPM’s CEO James Dimon sits on the Board of the New York Federal Reserve.

First it was “silver fillings”, then thimerosal in vaccines. Now we have this quaint little innovation to save us from “global warming”: the mercury filled light bulb. What is this love affair with the deadliest toxin on the planet?

Ya en Cuzco con empeño
quieren sacudir, y es ley,
el yugo de ajeno rey
y reponer al que es dueño
¡Levantarse americanos!
Tomen armas en las manos
Y con osado furor
¡maten sin temor,
a los ministros tiranos!
(Afiche pegado en Oruro en abril de 1780 por loscriollos Tupamaristas) (2) (Pág. 425)
1.- 4 de noviembre de 1780: El inicio de la Rebelión
Túpac Amaru II encabezó la mayor rebelión que conoce la historia de los países del Tercer Mundo, hasta muy entrado el siglo XX, luego de la ocupación y expansión europea, iniciada a lo largo del siglo XV, con la llegada de Colón a América y de Vasco da Gama a África y Oriente. Organizó y armó a 100.000 americanos originarios contra el poder español, proclamando la libertad y la independencia de América. Su rebelión fue el golpe más fuerte sufrido por el imperio español, desde la invasión a América en 1492. El jefe del gabinete de Carlos IV, ‘el favorito’ -de la reina- Don Manuel Godoy,exclamaría unos años más tarde, ‘Nadie ignora cuánto se halló cerca de ser perdido, por los años de 1781 y 1782, todo el virreynato del Perú y una parte del de la Plata cuando alzó el estandarte de la insurrección el famoso Condorcanqui, más conocido por el nombre de Túpac Amaru’ (1) (pag151) Read the rest of this entry »

The travails at one of the smaller investment banks in the world, Lehman Brothers, this week helped to increase investor focus on the phalanx of lies that underpin valuations across financial markets. Since I last alluded to the potential problems of this firm (Cheap talk, pricey banks, Asia Times Online, June 5, 2008), events have moved rather quickly; its share price is down from around US$31 to Thursday’s close of $22.70.
