Pepe Escobar
14th May, 2009
Nothing of significance takes place in Eurasia without an energy angle. In this insightful analysis, global reporter Pepe Escobar focuses on the ongoing energy struggle across “Pipelineistan” and the Great Game of business, diplomacy and proxy war between Russia and the U.S. He delves into tumultuous Central and South Asia and the “AfPak” battleground. There, U.S. planes and unmanned aerial drones are killing combatants as well as civilians, while, in Afghanistan, Washington continues to build new military bases. Under the carnage of war, courses the Liquid War. Just how the energy flows and through which territories controlled by whom can make – quite literally – a world of difference, even though it rarely captures our attention.

Salim Lamrani

Le président Obama, qui avait soulevé bien des espoirs en Amérique latine, n’a pas tardé à décevoir. Après avoir annoncé de manière spectaculaire une révision de la politique de Washington à l’égard de Cuba, il s’est dédit. Sur ce point, comme sur bien d’autres, Barack Obama a annulé les excès trop voyants de George W. Bush pour mieux renouer avec la politique impériale classique de ses prédécesseurs.

In a Fortune interview, noted climatologist John Christy contends the green crusade to fight climate change is “all cost and no benefit.”NEW YORK (Fortune) — With Congress about to take up sweeping climate-change legislation, expect to hear more in coming weeks from John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama-Huntsville. A veteran climatologist who refuses to accept any research funding from the oil or auto industries, Christy was a lead author of the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report as well as one of the three authors of the American Geophysical Union’s landmark 2003 statement on climate change.

| Dr Carlo Speaks: Radiation Is Killing the Bees Despite the Cell Phone Industry’s Disinformation Campaign |

After the first news cycle, the mobile phone industry ‘hit squad’ went into action. First, they planted stories that cast doubt on the Einstein quote. Never before have I seen such a desperate attempt to distance a quote from a figure as revered as Albert Einstein. In the process, his name was besmerched. Very sad. Next, they conscripted scientists from a number of universities to begin going public with other explanations…viruses, bacteria, pesticides etc., etc., etc.. These alternatives have been making the rounds over the past month. The mobile phone industry is putting quite a bit of money into the pockets of these scientists by supporting their work regarding viruses and alternative explanations. The industry is dealing with it as a politics and public relations problem….thus, manipulation of the public perception is the appropriate remedy for them. Sadly, this is business as usual for the mobile phone industry. Read the rest of this entry »

Financial wizardry is just smoke and mirrors

SERIOUS MONEY: THE AUTHOR L Frank Baum was born on this day in 1856. His most enduring work, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz , was published in 1900 and more than a century later remains a favourite among children, writes CHARLIE FELL
Baum’s seemingly-innocent fairytale is viewed by many as an allegory about the rise of the free silver movement in the 1890s and their demands for a bimetallic monetary standard that would ease the restrictions imposed on monetary expansion via the link to gold and help avoid a repeat of the severe depression of 1893.
