Euro will survive: Jim Rogers

Posted by seumasach on January 4, 2012

Rogers has missed the connection: a rebounding euro means a falling dollar. The pressure on the euro is the only factor left stabilising the dollar.

Featured below is the interview that Thierry Meyssan gave to our colleagues from the Algerian daily newspaper the La Nouvelle République. Worthy of mention is the fact that the interview was given front page billing. While Western journalists eagerly relay the war propaganda against Syria, another reading of the events is emerging in countries where the press is not required to adjust to the editorial line dictated by the Empire.

Yesterday Russia increased the pressure against the ongoing British-orchestrated plan to topple the Syrian government. Russian U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin bluntly stated that Russia was not going to endorse an arms embargo against the Syrian government, while advocates of such an embargo freely armed anti-government forces.

Britain’s future lies with America, not Europe

Posted by seumasach on December 30, 2011

Suddenly there is a flurry of stuff about a UK/US merger. Since we’re not about to “abandon our sovereignty” to Europe, who else could we be about to abandon it to? Will it involve the privilege of using the dollar- do we get to print them too? Perhaps we can help them with the spending cuts they can’t decide on. Do we intern EU citizens as fifth columnists? What about emergency repatriation of our sun-loving pensioners in France and Spain-can we relocate them in repossessed Californian chalets? Do we allow countless millions of Afro-Americans and Hispanics into our country to take advantage of our social security system and liberal bankruptcy laws or do all these simply disappear in an EU-style “harmonisation”  process. Isn’t Homeland Security turning into an Anglo-American “superstate”. What about the FEMA camps or Guantanamo in the Scilly Isles. What about all that red-tape and bureaucracy involved in getting on a plane- isn’t it business unfriendly? Who’s the head of state, the president or the queen? If we’re merged with the USA who can we blame for all the wars? (Well, we can still blame Israel, unless…no, surely not, a merger too far!)All questions to seriously ponder before taking the plunge.

In 1952, then-U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson said that “Britain has lost an empire but has failed to find a role.” Sadly for Britain, it decided to renounce its longstanding global cultural, legal and philosophical links to North America and instead looked for that role in Europe. Despite its geographic proximity to Britain, the Continent is nevertheless home to a host of cultures, legal systems and governing philosophies very different from those of traditionally liberal Britain. The consequences from that bad choice have bedeviled Britain for decades.

Les morts de Côte d’Ivoire et de Libye créent le nouvel ordre mondial

Posted by seumasach on December 30, 2011

30th December, 2011

En 1945 L’Organisation des Nations-Unies s’est créée après le choc de la deuxième Guerre Mondiale. Aujourd’hui, le nouvel ordre mondial est en train de se mettre en place après le lourd sacrifice de l’Afrique,  après le choc des milliers de morts de Côte d’Ivoire dont les 1200 villageois de Duékoué et des dizaines de milliers de morts Libyens, même si l’Otan a décidé d’insulter notre intelligence en parlant de zero mort et ce, après 26.323 sorties, 9.658 raids de bombardement, 7.700 bombes et missiles tirés par l’OTAN sur la Libye, avec la complicité des Nation-Unies qui étaient censées les protéger. L’ONG britannique Stop the War Coalition a certifié l’utilisation par l’OTAN des armes de destruction massive en Libye à travers les bombes et missiles contenant le fameux DU (depleted uranium), c’est de l’uranium appauvri, pour tuer le plus de personnes possibles. Daniele Cardetta dans le journal italien Articolo3, avance le chiffre de 60.000 morts. C’est le journal italien Nibiru2012 qui conclut que 60.000 morts sur une population libyenne de 6 millions sont 1% de la population décimée par l’Otan en Libye et que cela équivaudrait en proportion à 3 millions d’américains que des puissances étrangères viendraient décimer avec des bombes non conventionnelles. Et au lieu de mener la moindre enquête, l’Onu a tourné la tête ailleurs, vers Abidjan pour le méchant désigné le Président Gbagbo. C’est contre tout cela que la Chine a décidé de prendre les devants et de mettre sur pied un nouvel ordre mondial. Voici comment :

America’s farmlands to be carpet-bombed with Vietnam-era Agent Orange chemical if Dow petition approved

Posted by seumasach on December 30, 2011

Natural News

27th December, 2011

(NaturalNews) A key chemical of one of the most horrifying elements of the Vietnam War — Agent Orange — may soon be unleashed on America’s farmlands. Considered by world nations to be a “Weapon of Mass Destruction” (WMD), Agent Orange was dropped in the millions of gallons on civilian populations during the Vietnam War in order to destroy foliage and poison North Vietnamese soldiers. The former president of the Vietnamese Red Cross, Professor Nhan, described it as, “…a massive violation of human rights of the civilian population, and a weapon of mass destruction.”

A key chemical in that weapon —2,4-D— is just months away from being dropped on agricultural land across the United States. Dow AgroSciences, which along with DuPont and Monsanto is heavily invested in genetically engineered crops, haspetitioned the U.S. governmentto deregulate a variety of GE corn that’s resistant to 2,4-D, which comprises 50% of the recipe of Agent Orange.

NaturalNews broke this story yesterday and published the details:
http://www.naturalnews.com/034492_D…

If the petition is approved by Washington, it would turn America’s corn fields intochemical warfare zonestargeted for mass pesticide poisoning with 2,4-D chemicals. The corn, of course, would be immune to 2,4-D, so it would uptake the chemical and transport it right into the structure of the corn kernels, creating “Agent Orange corn bombs” that would be chemically unleashed when consumed by human beings.

This is just the latest example of how industrial chemical giants and GMO companies of the world arecommitting acts of genocideagainst innocents. The introduction of 2,4-D-resistant GE corn is, essentially, anact of war against humanity.

Food crops sprayed with chemical weapons

Agent Orange, which contains roughly 50% 2,4-D, is also cited in numerous war crimes lawsuits. Even the BBC has reported on it:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3…

The use of such chemicals on civilian targets is a violation of the 1907 Hague Convention, the 1927 Geneva Convention, and the 1949 Geneva Convention (http://www.iadllaw.org/en/node/353).

TheInternational Tribunal of Conscience in Support of the Vietnamese Victims of Agent Orangehas published a document briefly describing the war crimes committed by the U.S. government in its use of Agent Orange:http://www.iadllaw.org/files/charge…

That document states:

The chemical warfare waged by the United States against Vietnam though the use of Agent Orange and other dioxin laced chemicals from 1961 to 1971 has caused severe, massive and prolonged consequences for the environment, ecology and health of the people of Vietnam.

See the photos of Agent Orange victims

First Vietnam, now America

Even walking around America today,many Americans are born as mutantsthanks to the chemicals used in foods, medicines, lawn care and personal care products. That crime against humanity is about to be made far, far worse with the unleashing of 2,4-D on America’s farmlands.

The gross deformities, birth defects, neurological disorders and physical retardation we have seen in Vietnamese children affected by Agent Orange could soon arrive at America’s doorstep thanks to 2,4-D.

Dow, of course, is widely regarded as one of the most evil corporations on the planet, having already poisoned countless victims with toxic chemicals. Remember the Bhopal pesticide factory explosion in India? That was Union Carbide, owned by Dow. It killed thousands of people, maimed tens of thousands and injured over half a million (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal…).

Remember:If chemical weapons are used to produce food, then those who consume such foods become casualties of war.

Food production was once an honorable art, but at the hands of greed-driven globalists, it quickly became a system of profit seeking and then a tool for corporate domination over the People. Now it has become a weapon of mass destruction, and it is being used to decimate the health of both the population and the farmlands.
