The Euro is also the choice facing the Brits- although unlike the Icelanders the oligarchy has made sure no one is discussing this issue or even making reference to the sinking pound. Who will break ranks as inflation devours us?

Excellency,
As I informed you in my previous communications, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a
responsible Member State of the United Nations Organization, and based on its international
rights and obligations, has always emphasized on the importance of multilateralism.
Unfortunately, a few countries, with political motivations and objectives, have raised some
ambiguities over Iran’s exclusively peaceful nuclear program and have used the UN Organs
as a tool, thus undermining the integrity and credibility of the United Nations. Read the rest of this entry »

DAMASCUS – British statesman Sir Winston Churchill once said, “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.” On another occasion, he said, “Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.”
These two quotes came to my mind, as I imagined Hasan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah, seated somewhere in Beirut, watching his allies and opponents hammer out a deal in Doha – to his favor – on Wednesday. Read the rest of this entry »

As detailed in an earlier article, a conservative calculation is that at least 60% of today’s $128 per barrel price of crude oil comes from unregulated futures speculation by hedge funds, banks and financial groups using the London ICE Futures and New York NYMEX futures exchanges and uncontrolled inter-bank or Over-The-Counter trading to avoid scrutiny. US margin rules of the government’s Commodity Futures Trading Commission allow speculators to buy a crude oil futures contract on the Nymex, by having to pay only 6% of the value of the contract. At today’s price of $128 per barrel, that means a futures trader only has to put up about $8 for every barrel. He borrows the other $120. This extreme “leverage” of 16 to 1 helps drive prices to wildly unrealistic levels and offset bank losses in sub-prime and other disasters at the expense of the overall population.

One cannot stress too much the importance of this agreement, the inevitable consequence of the convergence of European and Russian interests. The ultimate pillar of Anglo-American power is the control of Eastern Europe as a barrier to precisely this kind of agreement, the Mackinder doctrine. As Europe allies itself to Russia, the Atlanticist factions will wither and Europe’s tutelage to Washington will come to an end. Britain will then be faced with the choice of joining Europe in a spirit of co-operation or holding out as a fourth-world, neo-feudal, failed state.
