After the tragic events of July 5 in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, it would be useful to look more closely into the actual role of the US Government’s ”independent“ NGO, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). All indications are that the US Government, once more acting through its “private” Non-Governmental Organization, the NED, is massively intervening into the internal politics of China. Engdahl’s article ties in with Thierry Meyssan’s consistent reporting (see below) of the covert nature of the NED and “sister” organizations which are engaged in the destabilization of countries of strategic, geopolitical interest for Washington under the guise of liberty and democracy.
This is rather sensational news which seems to point inexoarably towards detente between the USa and Iran. The US would have preferred a different regime in Iran but their orange revolution has obviously failed. Will we see convergence nonetheless?
How a trans-Caspian gas pipeline project came to be named after the 19th-century Italian Romantic composer Giuseppe Verdi’s famous opera Nabucco remains obscure. The opera is based on a Biblical story about the tragic plight of persecuted Jews exiled from their homeland by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. Maybe, the opera’s enchanting story of love and struggle or its tendency toward melodrama was considered an apt metaphor for the acute Caspian energy rivalry. Read the rest of this entry »
I was an amateur radio enthusiast before becoming a professional biologist, but kept my interest in radio throughout a long career as a lecturer at Imperial College London. No one appreciates more than I the wonders of engineering that have gone into even the cheapest cell phone, but equally I know the very real dangers that cell phone signals present to both the user and people living near cell towers.
Une fois de plus la presse occidentale aborde la Chine qu’elle connaît mal au travers du prisme idéologique de la Guerre froide. Ainsi le conflit ethnico-social entre ouigours et hans donne lieu à une récitation sur l’oppression du « régime » de Pékin. Domenico Losurdo démonte ce préjugé.

Après avoir tendu la main aux musulmans (tout en tentant de déstabiliser l’Iran), avoir tendu la main aux Russes (tout en continuant à préparer l’installation en Europe de l’Est de missiles pointés sur eux), le président Obama tend la main aux Africains. Partout, il propose de refonder les relations avec les États-Unis sans solder les crimes du passé. Manlio Dinucci révèle ce qui se cache derrière cette soudaine sollicitude.
Global Research has published a number of articles by British medical doctors initative led by Stephen Frost and David Halpin on the issue of Dr. David Kelly’s assassination. Read the rest of this entry »

The so-called “green shoots” of recovery are turning brown in the scorching summer sun. In fact, the whole debate about when and how a recovery will begin is wrongly framed. On one side are the V-shapers who look back at prior recessions and conclude that the faster an economy drops, the faster it gets back on track. And because this economy fell off a cliff late last fall, they expect it to roar to life early next year. Hence the V shape.
Unfortunately, V-shapers are looking back at the wrong recessions. Focus on those that started with the bursting of a giant speculative bubble and you see slow recoveries. The reason is asset values at bottom are so low that investor confidence returns only gradually. Read the rest of this entry »
