Reports, if confirmed, that the captain of the Concordia remained indifferent as his ship hit the rocks should not surprise us. A whole number of recent reports from disaster survivors point to a similar and strange phenomena: even when life itself is at stake people remain unable to respond. Can it be that denial is now so deeply rooted in our psyche that it robs us of our most primal instincts? Can our denial over malfeasance, coming economic catastrophe, dangerous brinkmanship in the Persian Gulf, Fukushima etc.etc. have extended itself like a blanket over our response to each and every danger we face even the most obvious and immediate? We now exist it would appear within a delusional fantasy bubble which protects us from awareness of terrible realities and, unfortunately, does so without exception.

The Doomsday Project and deep events: JFK, Watergate, Iran-Contra and 9/11
Peter Dale Scott
Voltairenet
In the second part of his study of the US “Deep State,” Peter Dale Scott revisits the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the Watergate and Iran-Contra affairs. By exploiting these events, the military-industrial complex gradually seized power in a country which is now under a permanent state of emergency. According to this Canadian historian, the first demand of a movement like Occupy Wall Street should be the repeal of the Patriot Act, which legitimizes the resolution of political crisis in the United States through military means.

The Portuguese government considers the decision of S&P to downgrade its debt two notches to be “unfounded”, without reflecting either the economic or political reality of Portugal’s counter-crisis measures. Specifically it fails to reflect the consensus within Portuguese society around these measures. A study by MEP Diogo Feio calls for the end to the North American oligopoly of the rating agencies and, like Merkel, the end of legal obligation by investment institutions to take into account their ratings.
Portugal vítima da guerra ao euro

É “infundada” a decisão da Standard & Poor’s em baixar o rating nacional em dois níveis, para ‘BB’, uma posição já considerada lixo, diz o Governo português, em reacção à avaliação da agência de notação norte-americana.

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle called the S&P announcement an “artificially produced” setback that emerged just as leaders’ efforts were beginning to bear fruit. In an e- mailed statement, he said he’ll step up efforts with euro-member states to create a European rating company.
Michael Fuchs, the CDU’s ranking floor member for economic issues, said the downgrades were “arbitrary Anglo-Saxon politics that don’t square with the efforts of countries including France” to take aim at state spending.
Merkel: Euro Leaders Must Redouble Efforts
Bloomberg
14th January, 2012
Chancellor Angela Merkel said euro- area downgrades by Standard & Poor’s reinforce Germany’s stance that European leaders must redouble their efforts to resolve the debt crisis as governments prepare to sell more debt next week.

There is a growing tendency to prioritise economic well-being over war-making- this is promising. The EU supports the sanctions but not just now.

A European Union ban on Iranian crude oil imports was to be formally decided by EU foreign ministers during a meeting at the end of January. However, diplomats in Brussels said on Friday that some EU capitals were pushing for a delay of the embargo to shield their debt-stricken countries from rising oil prices.

The Doomsday Project and deep events: JFK, Watergate, Iran-Contra and 9/11
Peter Dale Scott
Voltairenet
5th January, 2012
In this two-part analysis, former diplomat and scholar Peter Dale Scott deciphers the successive stages, since the assassination of John F. Kennedy, of the United States’ inexorable slide into the situation that President Eisenhower had feared and cautioned his compatriots against. Since 26 October 2001 and the introduction of the Patriot Act, a secret structure – the “Deep State” – has steered defense and foreign policy behind the veil of democracy.

“War with Iran is already here,” wrote a leading Israeli commentator recently, describing “the combination of covert warfare and international pressure” being applied to Iran.
Although not mentioned, the “strategic prize” of the first stage of this war on Iran is Syria; the first campaign in a much wider sectarian power-bid. “Other than the collapse of the Islamic Republic itself,” Saudi King Abdullah was reported to have said last summer, “nothing would weaken Iran more than losing Syria.” [1]

This work is of the highest interest and builds on the work of Velikovsky, Birkeland, Alfven and others. Here we have the promise of a holistic, multi-disciplinary rediscovery of our world and the cosmos. Most of all, from my own point of view, we have the possibility of gaining a deeper understanding of the roots of the most recent phase of human civilization.

Who are the separatists now? Take Britain out of Europe and you can take Scotland out of the UK
Iain MacWhirter
13th December, 2011
David Cameron’s decision to take the UK out of Europe will take Scotland out of the UK. The Prime Minister’s use of the veto against the EU treaty on budgetary reform looks like the game-changer that the SNP leader Alex Salmond has been waiting for. Attachment to the Union in Scotland is likely to evaporate as Scots realise that they have become an appendage to an essentially isolationist England with a sceptic media saturated with an ugly chauvinism. The hostility shown towards European nations is like a bad version of the hostility that old school Scottish nationalists used to show towards England. Only they grew out of it.
