Goldman Sachs – via economist Jim O’Neill – invented the concept of a rising new bloc on the planet: BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). Some cynics couldn’t help calling it the “Bloody Ridiculous Investment Concept.”
Not really. Goldman now expects the BRICS countries to account for almost 40% of global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2050, and to include four of the world’s top five economies.

Rick Rozoff

To the world’s military leaders, the debate over climate change is long over. They are preparing for a new kind of Cold War in the Arctic, anticipating that rising temperatures there will open up a treasure trove of resources and long-dreamed-of sea-lanes. Rick Rozoff scrutinizes the feverish military activity taking place in the High North, under the official label of a joint Norwegian-NATO-Partnership for Peace endeavor, including preparedness drills against terrorist threats, mass demonstrations…and spies coming in from the cold!
The largest military exercise in the High North, inside and immediately outside the Arctic Circle, since the end of the Cold War (and perhaps even before) was completed on March 21 in northern Norway.

Interview with Thierry Meyssan
20 th April, 2012
Dans une interview accordée à nos confrères suisses de Mecanopolis que nous reproduisons dans nos colonnes, Thierry Meyssan revient sur l’offensive internationale contre la Syrie, la situation dramatique de la Libye et la campagne électorale en France. Comme un symbole, le « succès » français en Libye est un désastre, alors que paradoxalement, l’échec d’Alain juppé en Syrie préserve les chances de peser dans le monde de demain. Alors que la crise syrienne annonce la fin du monde unipolaire et le bouleversement des anciennes alliances, la France n’a qu’une alternative : la reconquête de sa souveraineté ou l’errance mondialiste.
