  US Federal Reserve System Should Be Nationalized

  03.01.2013 | 00:00 | Olga SHEDROVA

  The United States is the only state in the world destitute of the right to issue its own currency. The role of central bank is carried out by the Federal Reserve System – a joint stock company created by 12 Federal Reserve Banks created in their turn by commercial banks on a territorial basis. The state has no money. Continue reading this...

  Post-Election Kyrgyzstan: Shadows of Akayev and Bakiyev

  15.10.2010 | 10:34 | SHUSTOV Aleksandr
  Perhaps the most striking feature of the recent campaign in Kyrgyzstan was the unprecedented number of parties in the race – a total of 29 of them competed over the parliament’s 129 seats. The proliferation of political parties reflected the structure of the Kyrgyz society which tends to function as a conglomerate of  regional clans… Kyrgyzstan’s new parliament will be carved up by a northern and a southern coalition considering that the shadows of former Kyrgyz presidents Askar Akayev and Kurmanbek Bakiyev can be discerned behind some of the parties that won the recent elections…

  New violence hits Kyrgyzstan

  Police in Kyrgyzstan have used live rounds and tear gas to break up anti-government protesters, just outside the capital Bishkek. Riot police, who’ve been on standby, opened fire after being attacked with stones. RT’s Katerina Azarova was first to report the news from Bishkek

  Origin of Kyrgyz Divide Between North and South
  “Relations between the northern and the southern parts of Kyrgyzstan had always attracted much attention from the Soviet power elite and remain a primary concern in today’s Kyrgyz Republic. Regional authorities in the north and in the south, both seeking dominance in the region, continue to rely on the outdated system of tribal ties… The divide between the north and the south has played a crucial role in the Kyrgyz home policies after 1991. And each time a new ‘faction’ seizes power, its members are trying to diminish influence of the ousted clans…”

  The Kyrgyz crisis and regional security
  “The crisis in the Central Asian state of Kyrgyzstan no doubt holds out grave implications for regional security and India cannot remain impervious to them. Kyrgyzstan too is a land-locked country like Afghanistan that at once becomes highly susceptible to foreign interference. Again, the deepening crisis in Kyrgyzstan contains a mirror image of almost all the elements associated with the Afghan civil war. The international community’s reaction to the Kyrgyz crisis, especially the glaring absence of a coordinated regional response, is bound to cast shadows on the endgame in Afghanistan…”

At an emergency session on June 28, the ruling “Alliance for European Integration” decided to abolish the decree signed by the interim president Mihai Ghimpu declaring June 28 as the Soviet occupation day and a day of mourning for the victims of totalitarian communism… Almost simultaneously with Ghimpu’s decree the Romanian president Traian Basescu submitted a draft of the national defense strategy to the parliament. In this document Russia was regarded as a source of external threat because its troops are deployed near the Romanian border in Moldova’s TransDniester region…”

  URUK Net 22 June, 2010: Continued Ethnic Cleansing and Measures Aimed at Creating Jewish Majority in Occupied Jerusalem

  Gaza’s humanitarian crisis is not a surprise—it’s what we wanted
  By Geoffrey Aronson
  June 22, 2010 – …The failure of the international community to confront Israel’s decision to isolate Gaza from Israel and the West Bank is at the root of the web of crises centered on Gaza today. However understandable the international focus on Gaza’s humanitarian emergency, what is at issue is the fact that Gaza’s current nightmare is the consequence of Israel’s continuing effort to separate the political, economic, and security destiny of the West Bank from that of the Gaza Strip—an objective that the international community has tacitly supported because of opposition to Hamas’ rule in Gaza…

  The Specter of German Revanchism
  “Czech president Václav Klaus must be credited with far-sightedness – employing the tactic of delaying the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, he forced Brussels to limit the scope of the Charter of Fundamental Rights so as to shield his country from property claims filed by the Germans from the Sudetenland. Nevertheless, the creed of the territorial association of the Germans from the Sudetenland remains the same. The group states openly that since 1919 the Sudetenland had been occupied by Czechoslovakia which never had any right to the territory…”

An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys. The vast scale of Afghanistan’s mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said…”

Central Asia manages to stop 5% of the heroin flow from Afghanistan; Russia – up to 40%, but when it reaches the Balkans, it becomes almost impossible to seize. Kosovo is a classical example of another NARCO-STATE, a safe haven for drug dealers, the province is the world’s major distributor of Afghan drugs…”

  17 June, 2010 — Eric Walberg

  The war in Afghanistan is officially spreading to the Central Asian republics. First stop, Kyrgyzstan, warns Eric Walberg

  For the moment, the Pentagon is breathing a sigh of relief. Vital US fuel supply flights from its Manas base to Afghanistan resumed last week even as Kyrgyzstan slid into chaos. At least 171 and possibly as many as 500 have died in rioting in southern Kyrgyzstan this week, almost all ethnic Uzbeks, with thousands injured. More than 80,000 fled to neighbouring Uzbekistan, forcing it to close its borders as it cannot cope with more. On Monday, China began evacuating the majority of its 1000 nationals.

  Armed Kyrgyz in Osh, Kyrgyzstan’s second largest city, Jalalabad and some villages targeted Uzbek neighbourhoods, burning and killing indiscriminately. The Red Cross said 100 bodies were seen buried in just one cemetery. The chaos spread to the capital Bishkek but was brought under control when riot police fired tear gas and flash grenades.

  Kyrgyzstan’s acting President Roza Otunbayeva declared a state of emergency in the south, ordered the mobilisation of military reservists, and issued a shoot to kill order after Russia refused her request Saturday to send in troops to quell the rioters. Defending her moves, said Sergei Abashin, senior researcher at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology in Moscow, “Local police would easily surrender their weapons to young Kyrgyz rioters as they have common relatives and friends in this clan, and they would never shoot at their own.”

  Kyrgyz violence – allegations of genocide – RT Top Stories 

  17 June, 2010 — RT Top Stories

  Mourning for those killed in ethnic violence in the south of Kyrgyzstan continues, while the country’s authorities have admitted the real number of dead is much greater than the official toll of 191.

  The clashes between the Uzbek minority and the Kyrgyz majority started on Friday in city of Osh, and later spread to regional center Jalal-Abad.

  The interim Kyrgyz government has deployed troops with the right to shoot to kill in order to restore order in the region.

  Russia, along with other countries and international organizations, has been sending aid to the country, but the situation there is still critical.

  Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov promised that Russia will do everything within its power to help refugees and help Kyrgyz government to find those responsible for the violence.

  Peacekeepers should be sent into Kyrgyzstan regardless – analyst 

  16 June, 2010 — RT.com

  Kyrgyzstan is in mourning for those killed during days of ethnic violence. In response to the situation, members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization are deciding whether they should send peacekeepers there.

  Mikhail Stolyarov, a political analyst, is sure that Russia should send its troops to help the interim government in Kyrgyzstan. But he added that this should be a collective decision.

  ‘I do believe that this Collective Security Treaty Organization should take a joint decision on this very important issue, because Russia shouldn’t do it alone (send forces), as it can get into the trap,’ the analyst stressed.

  Peacekeeper troops should be sent there anyway, he thinks, as the situation is not stable.

  Stolyarov added that the forces should be formed on the basis of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

  Kyrgyzstan as a Geopolitical Pivot in Great Power Rivalries: Washington, Moscow, Beijing and the Geopolitics of Central Asia By F. William Engdahl 

  25 May, 2010 — Global Research

  Part I: Kyrgyzstan as a Geopolitical Pivot

  The remote Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan is what Britain’s Halford Mackinder might call a geopolitical ‘pivot’—a land that, owing to its geographical characteristics, holds a pivotal position in Great Power rivalries.

  Today the tiny remote country is being shaken by what appears to be an extremely well-planned popular uprising to topple US-backed president Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Preliminary analysts suggested that Moscow had more than a passing interest in promoting regime change there and that the events unfolding might be Moscow’s attempt to stage its own ‘reverse’ version of Washington’s ‘Color Revolutions’ — Georgia’s Rose Revolution of 2003 or Ukraine’s Orange Revolution in 2004, as well as the 2005 Tulip Revolution that brought the pro-US Bakiyev to power. In the midst of this ongoing power shift in Kyrgyzstan, however, who is doing what to whom, is far from clear.

  At the very least, what is playing out has huge strategic implications for military security throughout the Eurasian Heartland — from China to Russia and beyond. It therefore has staggering implications for the future of the United States in Afghanistan and Central Asia and by extension in all Eurasia.
