President Mohammed Morsi’s historic trip to Beijing signifies a new direction for Egyptian foreign policy. The Muslim Brotherhood leader has sent a clear message by selecting China for his first state visit outside the Middle East. By forging closer ties with China, Morsi is warning the US government not to take Egyptian acquiescence for granted.

You’d better not mess with Muslim Brother Morsi.
Straight out of “communist” China – where he secured a red carpet welcome from President Hu Jintao and vice-president Xi Jinping – the Egyptian president lands in “evil” Iran as a true Arab world leader. [1]

A new film, “Compliance,” examines “the human desire to follow and obey authority.” Liberal institutions, such as the media, universities, federal courts, and human rights organizations, which have traditionally functioned as checks on the blind obedience to authority, have in our day gone over to power’s side. The subversion of these institutions has transformed them from checks on power into servants of power. The result is the transformation of culture from the rule of law to unaccountable authority resting on power maintained by propaganda.

Although much of the world’s media’s attention on this week’s summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Tehran has focused on how it benefits Iran and its counter-sanctions strategy, so far little attention has been paid to the related question of how the developing world’s global political movement benefits from Iran’s input, particularly now that Tehran has assumed NAM’s stewardship for the next three years?

Le président syrien Bachar Al-Assad, a réaffirmé en fin d’après-midi, hier, que son pays mène actuellement une bataille, à la fois régionale et mondiale mais que, ce problème récurent, trouvera bientôt une solution et sera résolu. Dans le même temps, le ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Andreï Lavrov, a estimé que ce sont ceux qui arment l’opposition tout en rejetant un dialogue syro-syrien, qui sont à blâmer dans ce dossier épineux, qui pouvait pourtant trouver une solution et compromet la stabilité de la Syrie. Que dire de plus ? Les autres sont dans une dynamique morbide, entre le bruit et la fureur, pensant que seule la force peut résoudre le problème.

Dear Dr. Kendall:
I agree with Mr. Robert Riedlinger and noted author Iris Atzmon of Israel that if Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman can implore the Education Minister of Israel, Gideon Sa’ar, to immediately suspend installation of wireless internet in schools due to the well documented hazards of RF – EMF, Canada should be doing the same, as should all countries.

All indications are that Egypt’s return to the forefront of the Non-Aligned Movement will be the big news this week from the summit meeting at Tehran. The summit’s focus can be expected on three main West Asian issues — Syrian crisis, Iran nuclear issue and the blossoming of the Egypt-Iran relationship.

Ankara has decided to boycott this week’s Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran, which has been much maligned in the Western media despite the summit’s potential to contribute to mediation efforts on the conflict in Syria. By all indications, this decision reflects a low point in Turkish foreign policy.
