A humanitarian intervention in Syria? Humanitarian grounds had already been used in 1860 … precisely by France as a pretext to intervene militarily in Syria, then an Ottoman province. In this article, Geneva University scholar Pascal Herren lays bare the true intentions of France under Napoleon III, which were every bit as disreputable as those pursued under Sarkozy or Hollande. He also brings to light the dire consequences that befell the peoples of the region.

Stop Imperialism
11th December, 2012
The complexities of the Arab Spring and the struggle for political freedom throughout the Arab world should not obscure what has now become an absolutely essential understanding for all anti-imperialists: the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most powerful weapons of the Western ruling class in the Muslim world. While that may be a difficult pill for some to swallow for emotional or psychological reasons, one need look no further than the insidious role the organization is playing in Syria and the abuses of power and human rights of the government of Egypt. In the US-NATO sponsored war against the Assad government, the Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as the leading western-sanctioned force, the avant-garde of the imperialist assault. While, in Egypt, President Morsi and the Brotherhood government seek to destroy what had been, little more than a year ago, the promise of the revolution.

Conscience-Sociale
5th December, 2012
Depuis 2008, Conscience Sociale suit au quotidien les évolutions du marché des Bons du Trésor américain, et publie régulièrement des notes sur ce sujet. Cet intérêt est justifié par le fait que ces Bons du Trésor sont la forme la plus concrète et la plus fondamentale de l’influence mondiale des Etats-Unis. Tout ce qui reste aujourd’hui de la puissance des U.S. réside uniquement dans la capacité de son gouvernement à émettre de nouvelles dettes, qui servent en grande partie à entretenir le budget de la Défense, donc directement l’influence géostratégique mondiale des U.S. Les dettes étant très majoritairement émises sous forme de Bons du Trésor, ces derniers constituent le pilier du “mur dollar” dans le système monétaire mondial actuel.

To chants of “Command, command oh Badei, you command and we obey,” the Muslim Brotherhood in power was fast mutating into the very caricature of itself as painted by its bitterest enemies. Its easily mobilized, effortlessly bussed loyalists, happy to throng in their thousands in typically malevolent and horrifyingly brutal defense of policies and decisions they knew nothing about, now stood in stark contrast to the “new Egyptians” born of the revolution they made – a brave, free and rebellious people who bow to no one, and for whom the very notion of “obedience” is anathema.

Bad news indeed for City of London/Wall Street interests. The euro survives as an alternative investment option and attention returns to the viability of the dollar/pound as global trading currencies
FT
11th December, 2012
A year ago it was the eurozone that was heading at high speed towards the cliff edge. Fears that Europe’s monetary union was about to break up were commonplace. Spanish, Italian and Greek official borrowing costs were soaring. Mario Draghi, the new European Central Bank president, had ruled out acting as a lender of last resort to governments.
