George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter."
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

G8, Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission
4 June 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
6 commentsAnd while about the G8, world government and the Bilderberg Group, let’s not forget Bilderberg’s sister club, the Rockefeller-funded Trilateral Commission. While European conspiraloons tend to focus, quite understandably, on Bilderberg the Trilats are very rarely mentioned.
Why is this so, especially when it is the Bilderbergers who are the more secretive of the two?
Bilderberg was founded, in the early ’fifties, as essentially an Atlanticist group meant to bring together capital’s big (…) -

Police raids in Germany
13 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentAccording to mainstream media, over 800 policemen were involved in raiding 40 left-wing political objects with the support of 20 public prosecutors.
Whilst German television channels reported live from the razzias in the big cities, according to the populist press farms in Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg and Niedersachsen were also affected.
Several reasons were given so far for the raids, which nevertheless seemed to centre on and affect mainly infrastructure and logistics around the (…) -

Bush - Stoned? Drunk? Medicated? Retarded? Presidential Tester For The Pharmaceutical Industry? You Decide........ Buzzflash Reader Contribution By Ruth Lopez Created 07/19/2006 - 3:06 pm Bush is fried. He’s either drinking, smoking pot, medicated, or some combination of all of them. [1] Either that or the man has taken a one-way trip to crazy town.
Watch his gibberish at the G8, especially the bizarre stuff about how long the plane flights to various countries are. If you take out the (…) -
What Bush’s Open Mike Revealed

3 commentsWhat Bush’s Open Mike Revealed By Robert Scheer Posted on July 18, 2006 Editor’s note: In the midst of a Middle Eastern crisis that threatens to destabilize the entire region and perhaps beyond, it was unnerving that what most seemed to interest President Bush at the G8 summit is that China is a long flight from Western Russia. Bombs were exploding and innocents dying, from Beirut to Haifa to Baghdad, and yet George Bush managed to pose for yet another photo op, smiling as he gave the (…)

OIL! Addicts Attend G-8 Summit - The G8’s Energy Insecurity
18 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
The struggle to separate oil and state needs to be fought at home and at key international events like the G-8 Summit that took place this past weekend in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. When the G-8 met in Scotland last year, global poverty and climate change headlined the agenda. This past weekend in Russia, “Energy Security” was a key issue, but last year’s priorities seemed to be pushed aside.
Instead, the G-8 has absurdly defined energy security as the promotion and expansion of oil and (…) -
Shut Them Down!: The G8, Gleneagles 2005 and the Movement of Movements
16 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
3 commentsby Dissent! and Autonomedia
Bob Geldof’s appointment as an advisor to the Conservative party has provoked a reassessment of the momentous week last summer when the G8 met in Gleneagles. This reassessment is aided by the timely publication of a new book full of first hand accounts by those more interested in shutting the G8 down than lobbying it.
David Watts, one of the books editors, commented: "There seems to be a growing sense of disillusionment with the legacy of the Live8 concerts (…) -
The Predators who rule the world
13 November 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsWho are the neoliberals?
The robber barons of old ruled their world. Today’s robber barons are much more powerful than those earlier titans, and they appear to be all but unbeatable.
The planet is owned and ruled by the same people; not the heads of State, but the owners of the capital. State governments, if unyielding to the superior power of the capitals, run the risk of becoming figureheads in the claws of the neoliberals. Do what we tell you to do or we will unmask the vacuum behind (…)
