A couple of months back the Scottish National Party’s defence spokesman. Angus Robertson MP, outlined a new strategic direction for Scotland. Scotland was to embrace a Nordic identity.
“Angus Robertson, a prominent MP in the British Parliament and a leading member of the pro-independence Scottish National Party, has issued a call for Scotland to embrace its long-latent “Nordic” identity and to join with neighbouring Norway and nearby Iceland — as well as Canada and all other Arctic nations — to “properly engage with our wider geographic region.”

India figured as Iran’s number one crude oil customer in January. That may be difficult to believe but it is indeed a statement of fact. Actually, India stepped up its imports of Iranian oil by 37.5 percent, which helped Iran offset a 50 percent cut in Chinese purchases resulting from a dispute in pricing. China now imports around 250000 barrels a day as against India’s 550000 barrels a day, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Craig Murray has hit the nail on the head. The official narrative is devoid of sense – it is merely a cover for the reality of further bailouts. We should be opposing QE i,e, bailout and, as a logical corollary, calling for the banks to be put through bankruptcy proceedings. This is the next step which must be taken if we are to avoid disaster. The state would have to take on some of the banks liabilities, having foolishly bought large shareholdings in some of them, and would have to guarantee deposits. The state itself would then be bankrupt and would have to negotiate a settlement with our creditors. Debt could be written off in exchange for our abandonment of our current aggressive foreign policy, our leaving NATO, and adoption of a policy of cooperation with our international partners. Like Scrooge buying a turkey for Bob Cratchet on Christmas Day, we would present the world with the long-awaited, ever more needed, peace dividend.

The headlines all say that the Bank of England has pumped another £50 billion into the economy in the third round of quantitive easing. In fact, the money will not get far into the economy. It is given to the banks and other financial sector companies, and evidence from the previous £250 billion worth of quantitive easing is that almost all of it will stay there, being very handy stuff with which to fund massive salaries and bonuses.

Un changement peu attendu encore par les observateurs, malgré des signaux concordants, sera le déclin sinon l’effondrement de la puissance américaine. Il vaudrait mieux parler de la puissance atlantique pour y inclure la Grande Bretagne. Celle-ci ne semble pas en voie de se désolidariser de la puissance américaine et risquera donc de la suivre dans sa chute.

Un certain nombre d’experts, dont le politologue franco-européen Franck Biancheri 1), prévoient pour les prochaines décennies d’importants changements dans l’ordre du monde. Il ne s’agit pas d’annoncer des évènements encore inattendus, mais de mettre en perspective un certain nombre de changements en profondeurs (dits aussi systémiques) que la plupart des observateurs constatent mais dont ils ne tirent pas encore de conclusions significatives.
