6002 04/13/2009 America Has Lost Its Moral Compass, Again: An Open to My Fellow Citizens Sam Hamod, Ph.D. I write this open letter with sadness at how far our country has fallen from what it claims to be. This is not to say that we have ever or always truly lived up to our stated ideals as a nation, but things are worse than ever at this time. To be frank, our national and international priorities are wrong, they are upside down. We have lost our moral compass, again...
We have so many (…)

China versus America: ’Great Game’ for Global Order?
by Park Sang-seek
Global Research, April 14, 2009 The Korea Herald - 2009-04-07
The G20 summit in London ended with an optimistic note. But the final communique was a compromised document between the forces to preserve the basic architecture of the existing financial order and the forces to replace it with a new one: the first led by the Anglo-American partnership and the second by the BRICs with the support of the non-participating (…) -

War, Oil and Gas Pipelines: Turkey is Washington’s Geopolitical Pivot
by F. William Engdahl
Global Research, April 14, 2009
The recent visit of US President Obama to Turkey was far more significant than the President’s speech would suggest. For Washington Turkey today has become a geopolitical “pivot state” which is in the position to tilt the Eurasian power equation towards Washington or significantly away from it depending on how Turkey develops its ties with Moscow and its role (…) -

It seems that those who anticipated the end of color revolutions have been proven wrong. So far, color revolutions have succeeded in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. On the other hand, they have failed in Belarus, Uzbekistan and Myanmar. Their common (…) -
Cooperation or Competition?

Cooperation or Competition?
Major economic crises had in the past, the outbreak of war encouraged, or at least they were usually preceded. It is not clear whether the war was followed by the crisis to the incompetence of those responsible, and deflect the anger of the victim to steer to the outside, or whether the crisis of the leaders was staged, with the war to make their political ideas forward. If the former, the opinion is widespread, the latter seems to me on closer inspection, the (…) -
ET TU BARACK?

1 commentThe late Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin is alleged to have said, “A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.”
The late Nazi dictator Adolph Hitler, to rally support for the pending Holocaust, is alleged to have rhetorically asked his followers, “Who remembers now the extermination of the Armenians?”
While historians continue to debate whether Stalin or Hitler actually uttered these words, the insights these quotations reveal about the frailties of humankind are (…) -
UK Government white-washes Iraqi Holocaust & Iraqi Genocide - Reparations Bill $28 trillion

2 commentsAbly assisted by dishonest, racist, holocaust-ignoring Mainstream media, politicians and academics, “Democratic Nazi” Britain has reached Orwellian depths in which, as in the prescient novel “1984”, ”war is peace, slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength and 2 plus 2 does not equal 4” in relation to the ongoing Iraqi Genocide and Afghan Genocide.

Cuba: The hurt of no longer being
8 April 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
* Fragment from a work by Daniel Barret about the evolution of Cuba’s political regime since November 17 2005 till today. This piece attempts to place the role of Fidel Castro these past months.
Talking about a political regime so dependent on its tribal totem pole, it is not surprising that a fundamental chapter of its trajectory is about Fidel Castro; “commander in chief” by his own guerrilla merits and per saecula saeculorum. Fidel seemed to be dead but not buried back on January 11 (…) -

SEVEN REASONS WHY OBAMA IS WRONG ON AFGHANISTAN
7 April 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentA JAZZMAN CHRONICLE. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
By Jack Random
Recently, the Center for American Progress published “Seven Reasons Why We Need to Engage in Afghanistan.” Sounding eerily like a Neocon Brain Trust from the Bush era, it was an argument defending the president’s policy of escalation in and prolonged occupation of Afghanistan.
The argument came in anticipation of Obama’s first international tour as president of the United States. He appealed to the members of the North Atlantic (…)
