As Tehran and Jerusalem Exchange Pleasantries
“As we remember, in January 2013, the US invaded Canada to divert to themselves oil destined to go by pipeline from the Tar Sands to the BC coast thence to China. In the fall of this year you’ll also recall that Mexico, under a coalition of rebels, the Zapatistas, and the old and corrupt PRI, seized power and immediately cut off oil supplies to the United States, following the same move by Venezuela six months earlier. As one of his last acts as President, Barack Obama sent the Marines into Mexico…”

Restoring Trust in India-Pakistan Relations
“…After the Mumbai attack India has insisted that Pakistan must act against its chief architect Hafiz Saeed… While India argues there is enough proof to arrest Saeed and initiate proceedings against him, Pakistan says the proofs are not sufficient enough to initiate legal proceedings against the chief of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, banned by the United Nations after the Mumbai terror attack. In a rally in Pakistan on 5 February 2010 he called all people to get united for jehad against India…”

Corvette “Cheonan”, or The way a new crisis is being prepared on the Korean Peninsula
“The Pyeongtack naval base near Seoul played host a few days ago to a maritime memorial ceremony for and the funeral of 46 sailors of South Korea’s Cheonan corvette, which sank in unclear circumstances when on a patrol mission in the Yellow Sea on March 26-th 2010… The tragedy around the South Korean corvette is being artificially brought into increasingly great prominence… The worst of all possible options would prove Seoul’s tough action against Pyongyang under the guise of retribution, to be followed by North Korea’s just as tough response. Both the first and the second could bring the developments to the verge of a dangerous confrontation…”

Decision in Greece: Crisis in the European Union
“The greek term “crisis” means decision or turning-point. And indeed we actually face a turning-point in European politics after World War II… One state within the European Union declared itself unable to pay its debt… How it came that the leading figures of EU gave way to the IMF to play a main role in managing the Greek crisis, the archives may tell in some decades. Then it could also become obvious that the 25-th of March 2010 was the beginning of the end of the “Euro”…”

And the winner is? The media
“…’Debates’ on television between the major candidates are a new feature of the UK’s alleged political life and clearly designed to whip up some kind of interest in the election given that around two-thirds of the electorate don’t bother to vote… With no appreciable difference between the three main parties, what difference does it make which one ‘wins’? And this view is reinforced by the opinion polls that tell us that very many people see no difference between the three and thus why there are so many ‘undecided’…”

It can’t happen here, can it?
“The birth of what is now the European Union was spawned by Winston Churchill’s speech in Zurich in June 1946 where he called upon Germany and France to come together and work towards a United States of Europe… It is not my purpose to trace the history of the EU; who joined when, and so on. What I’m concerned about is whether it will survive which, considering the problems faced by some of its member nations, is a serious concern for both prosperity and peace in Europe…”
