  Chossudovsky: US Will Start WW3 by Attacking Iran
  By RussiaToday
  A UN nuclear watchdog report suggests Iran could be developing a nuclear bomb, apparently confirming long-held suspicions in the West. But Tehran denies the claims, again insisting that its atomic intentions are peaceful. Michel Chossudovsky, who’s from an independent Canadian policy research group, believes that what Iran says hardly matters, because the U.S. is planning for war.

  Bringing Hope to Haiti By Chris Meagher 

  18 February, 2010 — The Independent

  Direct Relief International Helps Supply Needed Medicines to a Stricken Country
  On the small United Nations plane flying to Haiti with Brett Williams and his Direct Relief International (DRI) team, I thought I was, for the most part, prepared for what I would be seeing — I had worked on relief efforts in the aftermath of Pakistan’s 7.6 earthquake, which killed 80,000 people in 2005. But after spending just a week in the capital city, Port-au-Prince, I have come to realize that I had no idea what had really happened there. This earthquake currently ranks as the seventh most deadly natural disaster anywhere, ever, but that sad fact does little to explain how Haiti is suffering. I’m having a hard time finding the right words to describe what I saw and how I felt, both physically and emotionally.

  Worn-out is probably the best I can offer: worn-out by the stink of death, which, even weeks after the quake, blows through the city. The body count is as high as 230,000 — roughly the same number of people who live from Carpinteria to Goleta — and thousands of bodies, most of them in Port-au-Prince, still remain buried in the rubble. These bodies were once someone’s mother, someone’s father, someone’s childhood friend.

  But I also was worn-out from the sun and the heat; worn-out by the sights and sounds of agony emitting from this tiny Caribbean nation; worn-out by the dirty air, the even dirtier water, the raw sewage, the language barriers, the nonexistent infrastructure, and even by the biggest spider I have ever seen, which was in my room on the first night I was there. But for me, a visitor, all this was just a temporary discomfort. For the people of Haiti, it has become their permanent reality.

  Bank Of America And Barclays See Looming Oil Crunch By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
  http://www.countercurrents.org/pritchard210210.htm
  Bank of America and Barclays Capital, two leading oil traders, have told clients to brace for crude above $100 a barrel by next year, before it pushes relentlessly higher over the decade. “Oil has the potential to flirt with $100 this year. We forecast an average price of $137 by 2015,” said Amrita Sen, an oil expert at BarCap

In the same week as Stack’s rampage, an Ohio man so enraged about his home being foreclosed upon. It doesn’t take rocket science to grasp that these eruptions of vitriolic rage are most likely, previews of massive civil unrest worldwide, as individuals and families awaken to the current ghastly global transfer of wealth

  Russia’s General of the Army Nikolay Makarov, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, warned that an American attack on Iran now, when the US is bogged down in two wars, might well lead to the collapse of the United States. He said that such an attack would roil the region and have negative consequences for Russia. And, he said, the Russian military is taking steps to forestall such an American strike on Iran

  Dubai Accuses Mossad Over Mabhouh Assassination By Aljazeera
  http://www.countercurrents.org/aljazeera180210.htm
  Israel is coming under increasing pressure over the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a senior Hamas commander, at a luxury Dubai hotel last month. The National, an Abu Dhabi government-owned newspaper, quoted Dahi Khalfan Tamim, the head of the Dubai police force, as saying that the investigation into the killing “reveal[s] that Mossad [Israel’s security service] is involved in the murder”. Tamim told the publication’s website on Thursday that he “is 99 per cent, if not 100 per cent, that Mossad is standing behind the murder”

  Mounting Evidence Mossad Behind Dubai Assassination Of Hamas Leader By Chris Marsden
  http://www.countercurrents.org/marsden180210.htm
  There is mounting evidence that Mossad, Israel’s secret service, organised the hit squad that murdered senior Hamas official Mahmoud al Mabhouh in Dubai on the evening of January 19. The assassins used the stolen identities of six British citizens and faked at least five other European passports. Not only does this fit a pattern of previous Israeli operations, but five of those whose identities were used live in Israel

  Need To Throw The Net Wider To Catch Pune Bombers By Mustafa Khan
  http://www.countercurrents.org/khan180210.htm
  There is a belated realization that the Pune blast of February 11, 2010 is a different kettle of fish. It bears the hallmark of another group. It was not for nothing that some conscientious people felt sleepless over the readily prepared and readily available explanation for every next bomb blast on the way . Could the other group be the still elusive one responsible for Malegaon blast of 2006?

  Thousands Of Tamils Still In Detention Camps By Subash Somachandran & Kamal Rasenthiran
  http://www.countercurrents.org/rasenthiran190210.htm
  Tens of thousands of Tamil civilians, who fled the fighting in the final days of the military’s offensive against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), remain in squalid detention camps in northern Sri Lanka. The official total is 106,000, with around 80,000 people still in the Manik Farm camps near the town of Vavuniya. After the LTTE’s defeat last May, the army rounded up 280,000 men, women and children and put them in detention centres surrounded by barbed wire and armed soldiers. No one was permitted to leave

  Obama’s Nuclear Option By Amy Goodman
  http://www.countercurrents.org/goodman170210.htm

  President Barack Obama is going nuclear. He announced the initial $8 billion in loan guarantees for construction of the first new nuclear power plants in the United States in close to three decades. Obama is making good on a campaign pledge, like his promises to escalate the war in Afghanistan and to unilaterally attack in Pakistan. And like his “Af-Pak” war strategy, Obama’s publicly financed resuscitation of the nuclear power industry in the U.S. is bound to fail, another taxpayer bailout waiting to happen

Four small firefights going on Saturday evening but in the city, as well, resistance seems less than expected.

  Central Asia: Growing Conflict Potential
  “The contours of the same scheme and conflict mechanism are easily discerned in all the recent clashes involving Kurds in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan… The Xinjiang drama unfolded in the summer of 2009 under a similar scenario…”

  Eugene IVANOV (USA)
  Why there is no pro-Russian lobby in the United States, and does Russia need one?
  “Of all countries that “matter” to the United States, Russia is perhaps the only one that doesn’t systematically lobby its interests in Washington… in the absence of a pro-Russian lobby, no U.S. public figure ever paid a price for signing an arrogant anti-Russian letter or voting for a Russia-bashing resolution – or for simply making a gratuitous derogatory comment about Russia and its leadership…”

  William BOWLES (United Kingdom)
  Capitalism cut adrift (I)
  “There has been much talk expended over the years on the degree to which the media—and hence culture—is central to maintaining the capitalist system. Leading the charge have been Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman, so much so that they now more resemble sainted objects than social/political analysts, but then this is nothing new for the left, who unfortunately for the most part are happy to let others do the thinking for them…”

  Nil NIKANDROV
  Pentagon Bracing for a Snap Offensive Against Venezuela
  “…Obama’s Administration needs to get rid of Chavez already in 2010… The corresponding plan is akin to those Germany had at the early phase of World War II – the US will rely on Venezuelan fifth column, Columbian ultra-right paramilitary groups, and its own special forces which are already launching raids in Venezuela’s border regions…”

  David KERANS (USA)
  Is the US Perpetually Rudderless? An Enduring Gift of the Founding Fathers
  “…Government in the US is condemned to rudderlessness. Bad regulations remain on the books; the public struggles to pin down which authorities are responsible for bad laws; political gridlock frustrates anyone trying to pursue reforms; serious discussion of how to deal with modernity is hamstrung; Congress dodges issues in favor of demagogy…”

  M.K. BHADRAKUMAR (India)
  America godfathers South Asian amity
  “The resumption of India-Pakistan talks happens to be a US foreign policy enterprise… with solid American and NATO security guarantee gratuitously made available, Pakistan will have no further need for an “all-weather friendship” with China, which always stood in the way of a close US-Pakistan strategic partnership… Washington could also focus on the business that can be garnered in India’s 100-billion dollar market for weapons without Pakistan feeling apprehensive about the Indian arms build-up…”

  Chossudovsky: US Will Start WW3 by Attacking Iran
  By RussiaToday
  A UN nuclear watchdog report suggests Iran could be developing a nuclear bomb, apparently confirming long-held suspicions in the West. But Tehran denies the claims, again insisting that its atomic intentions are peaceful. Michel Chossudovsky, who’s from an independent Canadian policy research group, believes that what Iran says hardly matters, because the U.S. is planning for war.

  Britain’s Explanation is Riddled with Inconsistencies.
  It’s Time to Come Clean
  Must Read By Robert Fisk
  Intelligence agencies – who in the view of this correspondent are often very unintelligent – have long used false passports. Oliver North and Robert McFarlane travelled to Iran to seek the release of US hostages in Lebanon on passports that were previously stolen from the Irish embassy in Athens.
