The importance of this question for the present comes from the fact that the United States under its new president is escalating its offensive in Afghanistan and expanding the war into Pakistan, and has claimed that the “hunt for bin Laden” is one of its principal motivations for doing so. Either explicitly or implicitly, the US government and major media outlets such as The New York Times and Washington Post continue to assert that bin Laden is alive, hiding in the tribal territories on the “AfPak” border, posing an undiminished threat to US security.

Some business leaders are cozying up with politicians and scientists to demand swift, drastic action on global warming. This is a new twist on a very old practice: companies using public policy to line their own pockets.

It will be attended by the presidents of its six full members – China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan – and by representatives of various ranks from its four observer states – India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan – and from several aspiring partner nations yet to be announced.
The SCO as an institution and as a concept represents the world’s greatest potential and in ways is its major paradox as its capacities and their realization to date are so far apart.

After the City Gang’s multibullion pound heist and the ongoing looting of public funds a diversion was necessary to focus public anger elsewhere. Enter John Wick, “head of a corporate intelligence company”, which just happens to have access to MPs expenses details. The ploy has worked a treat: not only is public anger diverted towards those MPs guilty of malfeasance but to the wider political class. Which of them now dare point the finger at the banksters? The public still lose everything but have the consolation of seeing a few people exposed for minor corruption.
But the oligarchs shouldn’t perhaps be too smug: they have created a political vacuum which may return to haunt them.
