The U.N. Security Council met shortly after the July 18 attack that decapitated the command of the Syrian security forces. The two sessions that followed addressed the Resolution proposals submitted by the Western powers and…

“To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.” – Tacitus (AD 56 – AD 117). There are predictions that the Mossad and British secret services will stage a new false flag terrorism event at the 2012 London Olympics and claim the lives of thousands of Olympic tourists. One name to look out for is Australian-Israeli businessman Frank Lowy, who is Larry Silverstein’s investment partner, and owns the Westfield Stratford City Mall, which is serving as a key transit hub during the Olympics. The mall opened last September and many analysts have speculated that it could be the scene of a coordinated false flag attack by the Mossad and MI6. Lowy will stand to gain a large fortune if his building is destroyed, but money is not the main issue, it is his loyalty to the Israeli state that matters.
GEOPOLITICS & ORGANIZED CRIME AND CORRUPTION IN THE EARLY 21st CENTURY WITH REFERENCE TO THE BALKANS
1. INTRODUCTION Let’s summarize the main determinants of political and social developments of the Northern Hemisphere (and beyond) over the last two centuries. In short, national states were built in the 19th and civic states…
Those who mischievously called Iran a part of the so-called “Axis of Evil” and put its name in their ludicrous list of the state sponsors of terrorism – the list from which the name of Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime was removed in 1982, are either ostensibly ignorant of the concept of terrorism or apparently unaware of the hardships the terrorists have imposed upon Iran in the past three decades. By pretending that Iran has been supporting global terrorism, the United States and its European stooges have rationalized their unjustified, immoral and insane war against Iran, blatantly forgetting the fact that Iran has been long one of the guiltless victims of terrorism, sponsored by the United States, Israel, UK and their puppets in the Middle East.
Over Holy Week, the days before celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on Easter, Christians are called to meditate on Jesus’ last days. On Good Friday, in churches and often in city streets, it is customary…
While regional organizations are going to be the mainstay in international politics in the post-cold war world, one of the old regional organizations Arab League (formed in 1945) has shown all weakness of a broken house with members failing to take coordinated position on any of the raging international issues. A simple juxtaposition of the Arab League summit with the BRICS summit, held on the same date 29 March 2012, brings stark contrast how coordination in one part of the world is failing acutely, while on the other part the rise of BRICS in global arena is a foregone conclusion. While the Arab League, as the recent summit at Baghdad revealed, has become known for all differences, whether on Syria or Iran or on issues of conflict resolution, the BRICS countries developed commonalities on many issues including that of Syria and Iran. That the summit schedule was shifted twice before this one at Baghdad, and that only 9 member countries out of total twenty two countries participated in the summit itself reveals a poor story of the League. Even the nine countries participating in the summit did not send their top leaders; rather the member countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar sent junior officials instead of head of states to participate in the summit.
In the wake of the recent massacre in Afghanistan, the US military is now scrambling for both options and explanations, which in turn has Washington once more considering an even more expedient end to America’s…
Pakistani authorities have completed the demolition of Osama Bin Laden compound in the city of Abbottabad. A raid by the US SEALs, carried out last May, killed the terrorist in his Pakistani home where he…
In contrast to Libya, Syria became the scene of a revolt that almost immediately went off script: the majority of Syria’s population remain the government’s loyalists, and the Syrian army never disintegrated into warring factions. According to Western estimates, the rebel forces in Syria combined with the relatively small bunch of army defectors are outnumbered by at least a factor of four by the regular army which is also much better armed. The attacks launched by guerrillas on the regions where most of the residents are traditionally hostile to B. Assad and the attempts to cause the people to rebel are at the moment being successfully suppressed, while the opposition’s street marches typically run into response rallies staged by the supporters of the legitimate authority. Importantly, Russia and China strongly hold their own in the UN and block whatever Security Council resolutions that might be read as authorizing an intervention against Syria. As a result, the key objective behind the revolt in the country — to unleash a full-blown civil war in Syria — at the moment stays out of reach for those who orchestrated the unrest.
For anyone paying attention, there is no shortage of issues that fundamentally challenge the underpinning moral infrastructure of American society and the values it claims to uphold. Under the conceptual illusion of liberty, few things…
