Parallel World of Finances (II)

16.02.2013 | 00:00 | Valentin KATASONOV

…The US Federal Reserve System bankers are dry behind the ears in plundering other nations. The method is the same – exchanging real resources, goods, assets for pieces of paper, call it Federal Reserve bonds, US Treasury loan securities or US dollar bills…etc. The issuer never intends to redeem bonds. Formally the US Department of Treasury or Reserve banks could be an issuer. Doesn’t matter. It’s still the very same people who are behind them – the bankers seizing natural resources, gold and other treasures of other nations…more



France in Africa: Fifth Republic or Third Empire?

15.02.2013 | 00:00 | Dmitry MININ

…It makes one surmise the French «neo-imperial» or «neo-colonial» policy is not an escapade, not bold defiance of the existing global order, but rather a course approved by Washington. Most probably, we are facing actual reshaping of world politics. Washington is ready to re-delegate some of its authority to achieve global dominance to close allies. The US is not able to be everywhere at the same time anymore…

A Bomb in the Year of the Snake

14.02.2013 | 00:00 | Melkulangara BHADRAKUMAR

Everything about North Korea has to be speculative. That has been and is still the main problem. But one speculation seems to be ending, finally. It concerns China’s apparent ambivalence about North Korea’s nuclear program. Increasingly, Beijing is coming out on the ‘right side of history’. Which in turn would unleash a host of profound consequences for the security of the Asia-Pacific and global politics as a whole, and, most important, for the future of what China’s new leader Xi Jinping enigmatically alluded to – but left undefined – as his “two great powers” concept during his visit to the United States last year when he was still a mere ‘princeling’…

Parallel World of Finances (I)

13.02.2013 | 00:00 | Valentin KATASONOV

It’s a long time world money lenders see themselves as gods. Like the Creator they have started to create the world of their own out of nothing, making money “coming from air”. So an invisible parallel world has started to take shape along with the financial world that is real and can be seen with your own eyes… The invisible financial world is something the majority of people have no idea of… The world dwellers are criminal gangs related to drug trafficking, arms trade, slave trade and so on. It’s not even grey sector activities, but rather “black” economy breaching al norms of penal law. According to experts, the turnover is a few trillion dollars a year…

Russia – Pakistan: the Way is Open for New Projects

12.02.2013 | 00:00 | Sergei KAMENEV

For Russia, the importance of relations with Pakistan is already on the increase, if only given Afghanistan’s involvement in drug trafficking, since the bulk of the drugs end up in Russia and the rest go on to Europe… Following the withdrawal of the majority of NATO troops from Afghanistan in 2014, there will remain approximately 10,000 American servicemen… The American contingent staying on in Afghanistan will, just as before, need supplies of food, fuel and other products and these will be delivered to Afghanistan via tried and tested routes – through Pakistan and Russia. This means that the coordination of actions between Moscow and Islamabad is also important from this angle…

Would-Be Head of CIA Ready for War on All Fronts

12.02.2013 | 00:00 | Nil NIKANDROV

General Petraeus, the head of CIA, resigned admitting to a scandalous extramarital love affair. It made Barack Obama rush to find someone to replace him. As an intelligence veteran, John Brennan was the likely candidate. His nomination for the position popped up for the first time in 2009, but it didn’t go through. Back then he realized there was no chance because of his involvement in the CIA “dubious techniques of interrogation”, or the use of brutal tortures, to be more exact…

President Obama: Judge, Jury, and Executioner

11.02.2013 | 00:00 | Wayne MADSEN

Through a Department of Justice legal finding, President Obama now has the power to determine whether an American citizen has the right to live or die. The President has been determined by a secretive «Star Chamber» group of Justice Department lawyers, in coordination with Attorney General Eric Holder and some cloaked figures from the CIA, to have the power to order, by remotely-piloted drone or any other means, the extra-judicial execution of an American citizen believed to pose a threat to the security of the United States…

P5+1 – Iran Talks Kick Off Again: Last Chance to Prevent Big Trouble

10.02.2013 | 00:00 | Andrei AKULOV

The P5 (the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany) – Iran talks are to kick off in a few days. The process got stalled since last year’s June meeting in Moscow that ended up without any get ahead. Since then there were constant attempts to arrange another round of negotiations. Now it appears that Iran, which is about to enter its presidential election season, has finally agreed to get back to the round table. On January 5 Teheran announced that it would join talks in Kazakhstan on February 26…

Scottish Secession from the UK – Divorce with Bedroom Privileges?

10.02.2013 | 00:00 | Rafe MAIR

…I see several apparent consequences from Scotland breaking away starting with what will remain afterwards. The economic intertwining of the UK makes it impossible for this non-economist to assess but we do know that Scotland is overrepresented in the UK parliament and receives more money per person than other Britons. Who owns the North Sea oil? If Scotland leaves, can it sustain itself or does she see continued British aid, a sort of divorce with bedroom privileges? What about the European Union? Does Scotland automatically become a member?..
