We assume it is a coincidence that on the day in which we demonstrate China's relentless appetite for gold, driven by what we and many others believe is the country's desire to have a call option on a gold-backed reserve currency when the time comes, just posted in China's official press agency, Xinhua, is an op-ed by writer Liu Chang in which he decries the "US fiscal failure which warrants a de-Americanized world" and flatly states that the world should consider a new reserve currency "that is to be created to replace the dominant U.S. dollar, so that the international community could permanently stay away from the spillover of the intensifying domestic political turmoil in the United States." ...

(Brussels) Final verdict has been rendered in the first common law court case against the Vatican and Canada for genocide. The Pope, Queen of England and Canadian Prime Minister have all been found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to twenty five year prison terms. The court has ordered for their surrender by March 4 or face citizens' arrest.

The Brussels-based court handed down a unanimous guilty verdict from its citizen jurors and ordered the citizens' arrest of thirty defendants commencing March 4 in a court order issued to them today.

Pope Benedict has been sentenced to 25 years for his role in crimes against humanity. Vatican wealth and property is to be seized, according to today's historic verdict of the International Common Law Court of Justice.

Also found guilty were Elizabeth Windsor, Queen of England, Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, and the head officers of the Catholic, Anglican and United Church of Canada.

The guilty verdict followed nearly a month of deliberations by more than thirty sworn citizen jurors who viewed 150 case exhibits produced by court prosecutors. (see www.itccs.org, November 6 and January 30 postings)

They do not want to admit liability, incompetence or a lack of control. They would rather deal with the crisis as it unfolds, accepting many more casualties, rather than place themselves in a weakened or litigious position.

What In The World Is Going On?
You Have To Question The Turmoil In The Middle East And North Africa In 2011
NewsFocus Op/Ed, by Tim Watts - 112711

If you're not questioning the chaos and turmoil that has suddenly gripped the Middle East and North Africa, you seriously have to question your powers of observation, or your blinding indifference. The last year has been a year of adversity like no other. The entire region is being reshaped right before our eyes, yet our bought-and-paid-for corporate media has been woefully lacking in putting the pieces of the puzzle together. This is a key region of great oil wealth and valuable natural resources, yet our complicit media is okay with keeping their mouths shut and asking the big question, who is behind this upheaval?

This is no coincidence. Governments are toppling at the drop of a hat, some by CIA backed revolutions, others through war or economic collapse. The bottom line to it all, new governments are being installed that are favorable to the central bank cartels plan for a new world order run by them.

The US has already attacked Afghanistan and Iraq, and most recently Libya, all through unprovoked attacks. General Wesley Clark is on public record as saying that the US had already made up its mind to attack Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Lebanon, and Iran right after 9/11, with no justification whatsoever. According to Clark, the plans were already drawn up by the Bush-Cheney regime. Did I mention that were bombing the hell out of Pakistan too?

Revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt have brought about new governments there, with unrest also taking place in Yemen and Bahrain as well.

Add to this the recent political and economic upheaval in Italy and Greece with crises that have resulted in new leadership there, and you have a whole new power structure in place, or scheduled soon to be.

Once again, it is all too much to call a coincidence, especially with the long planned new world order now racing along at break neck speed. High crimes are taking place with millions being killed and impoverished, all the while the banksters divvy up the spoils of oil and gold, with no one bothering to question the absurd coincidence of all of this calamity in the year 2011. It's quite a conquest, yet the media is quite content to sit quietly through it all. Their silence is deafening. One can only hope that when someone finally comes for them we'll all look away and be just as silent.

The War On Terror, Or The War For Terror?
The U.S. Is Inciting More Terror Than It Stops. This Makes No Sense, Unless...
NewsFocus Op/Ed, by Tim Watts - 110811

With every military campaign, we have been led to believe there is always an objective, but ever since the advent of the Wolfowitz / Bush Doctrine of unprovoked warfare, it would seem that objective has become quite questionable for many Americans, and the international community as a whole.

First we were told we had to attack Afghanistan to kill the Taliban for not turning over Osama bin Laden, even though they did offer to turn him over to Bush.

Then we stormed Iraq, as in Desert Storm. Bush and Cheney both said that Saddam had ties to 9/11, so we had to ransack the country, even though Bush later admitted that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.

And now we've attacked our third country since 9/11 with the unprovoked invasion of Libya and the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, under U.S. charges that he was a brutal tyrant, even though Gaddafi was set to be awarded a human rights award from the United Nations. Libya enjoyed the highest standard of living in all of Africa, even better than oil rich countries such as Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Russia. Some tyrant. He sure had the UN fooled. Funny how he became a tyrant once he refused to no longer accept fiat money in the form of U.S. Federal Reserve notes. This was the same mistake that Saddam Hussein made.

Wow. Three unprovoked invasions of innocent countries since 9/11. Looks like the U.S. takes that Wolfowitz / Bush Doctrine of unprovoked warfare to heart. ... (Read More)
 

If you base your worldview on U.S. and western media (which is a very bad mistake), what you think you know about Libya, compared to the real truth, will stun you.

The unprovoked attack on Libya is all about nothing more than the new world order.

Gaddafi made the same mistake that Saddam Hussein made, telling the world banking cartel that it was dropping their Federal Reserve Note fiat currency, in favor of a new gold dinar that Gaddafi was introducing to all of Africa. No longer would he trade Libyan commodities, such as oil, for gold. All purchases would have to be made with gold dinars. That would have vaulted Libya into a superpower status with a newfound wealth that would have made them independent of the international banking cartel.

In short, like the colonists colonial script, Lincoln's greenbacks, and Kennedy's silver certificates, the interest-free gold dinar was a threat to the banksters.

Let's start here with... what the shameful US media purposefully did not tell you.

First off, many unenlightened Americans have no clue that Gaddafi was not just the Libyan leader, but also the President of the Africa Union. He, along with other African leaders, were working for a United States of Africa. This was a direct threat to the central banking cartel and their plans for a new world order.

Like his Iraqi counterpart, Saddam Hussein, it didn't help his cause that he openly told the powers that be that he too would be dropping out of the Federal Reserve game and would no longer be accepting U.S. currency, as in Federal Reserve notes. He was planning a new currency for Africa, the gold dinar. Needless to say, that didn't set well with the corrupt Rothschild-Rockefeller bank cartel

Africa is a continent blessed with much wealth, gold, diamonds, water, you name it. They are abundant in natural resources. The powers that be of the new world order crowd know this full well and they want it all for themselves. They certainly don't need it, but they don't want anyone else to challenge their wealth and power.

Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was not the villain that he was made out to be. His people loved him, because he took care of them. The people of Libya were guaranteed a home and were given free electricity. Education and healthcare were free in Libya. Newlyweds received $50,000 to start their new life. Mothers received $5,000 with every new child born. Loans in Libya were interest free. If you bought a new car, the government paid half. The price of gas was just .14 cents per liter. The price of 40 loaves of bread cost just .15 cents. A portion of all Libyan oil sales went directly into an account for every single person in Libya. If you could not find a job upon graduating college, the government paid you the going rate of your chosen profession, until you found work. If you wanted to start a farm, the government set you up, for free. Libya was also one of the biggest advocates for woman's rights.

Libya enjoyed the highest standard of living in all of Africa, even better than oil rich countries such as Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Russia. Some tyrant.

One can bet that this will all now sadly come to an end for the people of Libya.

Gaddafi even undertook the world's largest irrigation project, the Great Manmade River Project, to bring water to the people of this desert country. (A humanitarian resource that the U.S. and NATO destroyed immediately.)

Does all of this sound like a backwards civilization to you?

The only threat Gaddafi presented was to the criminal central banking cartel that runs this world.

Most people that follow the corporate news machine had no idea that the UN was to present Gaddafi with a humanitarian award. Strange for the UN to do this for an alleged tyrant. Funny how everything changed once Gaddafi said he was pulling out of the Federal Reserve fiat money scam.

When Gaddafi was finely caught, he was not given a trial. Instead he was sodomized with a very long knife. The entire event was caught on videotape and released for the world to see.

Why was this brutal, savage act and murder taped and then released to the public? This was a warning from the banking cartel to other world leaders, if you resist the new world order plan, this will be your fate. This was nothing more than pure thuggery and criminal intimidation.

The war on Libya was nothing more than an unprovoked savage, brutal attack on one of the most advanced societies that our world knew. That is all gone now, thanks to the new world order puppets, the United States and Britain, and their NATO bully force.

What has happened in Libya is a horrendous tragedy that the world should mourn.

Like Afghanistan and Iraq, another country has fallen to the new world order crowd.

Hopefully this brutal unprovoked attack on another innocent nation will highlight for others that the bogus War On Terror is nothing more than a sinister war on those who resist the new world order.

First Afghanistan, then Iraq, now Libya... so who else is next?

Other countries are being attacked in other ways, from the inside, like Tunisia and Egypt. (see also: NWO Attack)

You should be outraged by this and screaming to the rooftops to your friends, family and co-workers... anyone you can.

If you think you knew the truth about Libya before this, perhaps its time you put down the TV remote and start seeking the real truth.

A "Niemoller Moment" is coming for you, unless you snap out of your slumber and wake up to what's really going on in the US and around the world. If you don't start standing up for others in trouble, now, then pretty soon there will be no one left to stand up and help when they eventually do come for you.

What Was The Real Reason Gaddafi Was Murdered?

It seems that other countries have figured this out too.

Angelina Jolie, Goodwill Ambassador to the UN and member of CFR, is now using her profile to promote NATO’s genocidal ‘humanitarian intervention’ war doctrine. In an interview with the Balkans branch of Al Jazeera (NATO’s ‘Ministry of Truth’), Jolie (whose father has been a staunch defender of George W. Bush and who also visited Israel to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Nakba) promotes her new film ‘In the Land of Blood and Honey’, a pro-war propaganda set-piece centred around the ‘humanitarian intervention’.

Set in Sarajevo, Jolie’s directorial debut aims to justify NATO’s brutal butchery in Bosnia during the 1990s, and Jolie even specifically refers to Syria in her Al Jazeera interview. She puts forth a string of utterly hollow gripes about the inactivity of the ‘international community’ as civilians suffer and die. Jolie’s selective morality means she doesn’t once mention Libya – a nation now butchered, fractured, and transformed into a torture state by NATO’s genocidal ‘humanitarian intervention’; an estimated 100,000 innocent people slaughtered by the very same ‘international community’. ...

Bush and Blair Found Guilty of Iraq War Crimes
The New Straits Times, by Eunice Au - 112311

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal (KLWCC) returned a guilty verdict against former United States president George W. Bush and former British prime minister Tony Blair on a charge of crimes against peace on its final day of hearing yesterday.

Chief judge Datuk Abdul Kadir Sulaiman, in announcing the verdict, said both the accused had acted with deceit, selectively manipulated international law and committed an unlawful act of aggression and an international crime by invading Iraq in 2003.

The tribunal found that both the accused had contemplated to invade Iraq as far back as September 2001 and had defied the United Nations Resolution 1441, which clearly did not authorise the use of military action to compel Iraq's compliance. ... (Read More)

Reuters - by James Mackenzie - 111311

Ministers have been forced to seek permission from Prince Charles to pass at least a dozen government bills, according to a Guardian investigation into a secretive constitutional loophole that gives him the right to veto legislation that might impact his private interests.

Since 2005, ministers from six departments have sought the Prince of Wales’ consent to draft bills on everything from road safety to gambling and the London Olympics, in an arrangement described by constitutional lawyers as a royal “nuclear deterrent” over public policy.

Unlike royal assent to bills, which is exercised by the Queen as a matter of constitutional law, the prince’s power applies when a new bill might affect his own interests, in particular the Duchy of Cornwall, a private £700m property empire that last year provided him with an £18m income. ...

CIA Drones Kill Large Groups Without Knowing Who They Are
Wired.com, By Spencer Ackerman - 110411

The expansion of the CIA’s undeclared drone war in the tribal areas of Pakistan required a big expansion of who can be marked for death. Once the standard for targeted killing was top-level leadership in al-Qaeda or one of its allies. That’s long gone, especially as the number of people targeted at once has grown.

This is the new standard, according to a blockbuster piece in the Wall Street Journal: “men believed to be militants associated with terrorist groups, but whose identities aren’t always known.” The CIA is now killing people without knowing who they are, on suspicion of association with terrorist groups. The article does not define the standards are for “suspicion” and “association.” ... (Read More)

After a conflagration of arson attacks, riots and looting in several British cities, including the capital, London, there is a sense of order having been restored from a massive mobilisation of police forces.

There now follows the tracking down and prosecution of individuals involved in the mayhem. Conservative Prime Minister is leading “the fight back” to punish anyone who has inflicted damage and destruction to Britain’s society.

The events have visibly shocked the political establishment of all parties, police chiefs and the mainstream media. But what should be more shocking is the myopic and incredibly banal commentary that is being offered to “explain” the outburst of street disturbances and violence.

As pundits sit in comfy television studios trading inane insights about the “evils” of individual immorality, criminality, dysfunctional families, gang culture – in the background, so to speak, are the glaring signs scrolling across the screens of the cause of this societal breakdown. And yet the preponderant signs escape the mental radar of pundits and politicians alike.

The fact that the capitalist economic system is in worldwide meltdown is not even registered in the mainstream commentary. This is the system that the mainstream political parties have facilitated and fawned over, whether Labour, Conservative or Liberal, and which has resulted in social devastation across Britain while the corporate and financial elite has ransacked economic resources. This system of legalised looting has been going on for decades, ...

Harper secretly going ahead with North American Initiative
PressCore.ca - 060611

Now that Stephen Harper has a majority government he and Canadian economists are moving forward with a continental integration with the United States and Mexico as part of the North American Initiative.  An unclassified US diplomatic document released by Wikileaks outlines the secret agenda of the Stephen Harper government.

Communique ID 05OTTAWA268 SUBJECT: PLACING A NEW NORTH AMERICAN INITIATIVE IN ITS ECONOMIC POLICY CONTEXT states:

2. SBU) An incremental and pragmatic package of tasks for a new North American Initiative (NAI) will likely gain the most support among Canadian policymakers. Our research leads us to conclude that such a package should tackle both “security” and “prosperity” goals. This fits the recommendations of Canadian economists who have assessed the options for continental integration. While in principle many of them support more ambitious integration goals, like a customs union/single market and/or single currency, most believe the incremental approach is most appropriate at this time, and all agree that it helps pave the way to these goals if and when North Americans choose to pursue them. ...

8 Things Kate Does Not Know About The Royal Family
Don't Tread On Me, by Silver Shield - 042911

1. The Royal Family is not the most powerful family in England. And no it is not J.K. Rowling either. The most powerful man in England, and probably the most powerful man in the world, is Evelyn de Rothschild. Evelyn is the head of the most powerful banking family ever in history. The Rothschild wealth was estimated in 1900 to be over 1/2 of the net worth of the world. No doubt a century of debt and war has increased their wealth. The Rothschilds own controlling interests in many of the world’s central banks and ultimately own most of the world’s wealth through the debts they create.

Was Japan Hit With An Earthquake Weapon?
Allegations Begin To Mount Regarding U.S. HAARP Array
NewsFocus - 033111

Much like 9/11, allegations have begun to fly in the aftermath of the Japan earthquake regarding possible nefarious exotic military technology. While NewsFocus hates to believe such a thing could ever be possible, our investigation of 9/11 has opened our eyes as to the ultimate lows that a secret ultra-rich cabal could sink to in furthering a long proposed plan for a new world order. There are people in this world who have the financial means, with vast wealth far beyond Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and the rest of the Forbes Fortune 500 list; shady immoral people who are carrying out an agenda for a one world government, ruled by them.

There are many elements to the Honshu, Japan quake that have raised questions. The first is the quake itself, a phenomenal 9.0 that shook uncharacteristically for a staggering two minutes. The second is the unwavering tenacity of the aftershocks, most of them major quakes by themselves. Normally aftershocks diminish in severity over time, however the Japan quakes continually jump back into the mid to high six range on the Richter scale. This is not typical for earthquakes, at least not to the degree that has taken place in Japan. Toss in the report of Japan being threatened with an earthquake machine if they did not turn over their nation's finances to the ultra wealthy banking cartel.

All of this makes for interesting internet conspiracy banter, however, data collected from several magnetometers from Japan show a curious 2.5 Hz frequency that mysteriously began just a few hours before the first 7.3 quake on March 9th, and eerily enough ended just a few hours after the 9.0 and 7.7 quakes. Many are claiming this curious 2.5 Hz signal is the signature of the U.S. HAARP array in Gakona, Alaska. Coincidentally, one of the many magnetometers that recorded the strange frequency is also based at Gakona. ... (Read More)

Already there have been protests last week in the city of Qatif and other towns in the country’s oil-rich Eastern Province demanding, among things, the release of political prisoners and a raft of social reforms. There are also reports of prominent Shia clerics being detained by the Saudi Sunni authorities, and security forces mobilizing in anticipation of further protests.

Sadek al-Ramadan, a human rights activist in Al Asha, Eastern Province, said: “People here are watching closely the protest movements across the region, which are tapping into long-held demands for reforms in Saudi Arabia.”

Al-Ramadan said that there are “deep frustrations” in Saudi society over high levels of poverty, unemployment, poor housing and perceived widespread corruption among the rulers of the world’s top oil exporter whose Gross Domestic Product last year is estimated at $622 billion. ... (Read More)

RIYADH (AFP) – Saudi Arabia launched a massive security operation Friday in a menacing show of force to deter protesters from a planned "Day of Rage" to press for democratic reform in the conservative kingdom.

NewsFocus: It is most notable that Hillary Clinton and the U.S. are not hailing the Saudi Arabia uprisings as "democracy" movements, as they have in Tunisia, Egypt, and now Libya. You have to ask yourself why they would take this reverse stance. Perhaps it is because the U.S. already has control of the Saudi oil fields. Many firmly believe the middle east uprisings have been engineered by the New World Order crowd, in an effort to seize the oil of the region and to bring the area into a new union, controlled of course by the Western central bank powers.

RT News Disputes Western Account Of Libyan Air Strikes
Shades of the Kuwaiti Incubator Story From The First Iraq War?
NewsFocus - 030211

First it was former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, and now they're reporting that the deposed Tunisian leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali has just had a stroke and is also in a coma. That is indeed quite a coincidence, for both of these leaders to suddenly have a stroke and then lapse into a coma, right after questionable "revolutions" have driven them from power. Most notable, neither man can now be questioned about the circumstances leading to their ouster.

Many Egyptian protesters, both anti and pro Mubarak, said live on Al Jazeera television that the uprisings did not originate in Egypt, but rather were fomented from abroad. Most curious comments to make from Liberation Square in the middle of heated protests.

We're being told that this is a movement for "Democracy" sweeping the Middle East, like it's some sort of brush fire. Fortunately saner minds are now questioning the alleged uprisings and the motives involved. The consensus among many is that this a concerted effort to topple the Middle East for the coming New World Order.

For anyone to believe that each of these targeted leaders both had coincidental strokes, is indeed quite a stretch for the imagination. Also a coincidence that neither man had their stroke, until after they were vulnerable, once stepping down from power.

There's more here to the story than we're being told folks. Seek alternative news sources. (Watch Al Jazeera TV live)

Believe it or not the euro zone and European Union crisis is still in the formative stages.

The bailout packages arranged for Greece and Ireland are not to bail out those two countries, but to bail out the European banks that lent to them and bought their bonds when it was imprudent to do so. They knew, because they control the governments that the public of the solvent governments would bail them out. Thus, the governments of Ireland and Greece with Portugal and Spain to follow will be showered with an Anglo-American style bailout. As you know $1 trillion won’t be enough to make the banks happy, so $3 trillion will be needed. Germany says no we are not going to do that. Well, we’ll see just who the real masters of Germany are. Such policy flies in the face of German culture. It shows you though how close to the edge Europe and its euro zone really is. Germany understands, but the rest of Europe, particularly the PIIGS are in denial. The IMF has its nose under the blanket. It will lend and participate, so that it can serve its masters by keeping these wayward states completely in austerity and bondage for the next 50 years and in that process relieve them of their sovereignty. As all of Europe belatedly understands, one interest rate can never fit all.

We can assure you that the euro zone is on the edge of collapse. It’s just a question of when. ...
 

The Bilderberg Group:
A Secretive Group, Once Denied By Many, Now Exposed
The Nefarious Pact Among Kings, Queens, Presidents And The Wealthy Elite
NewsFocus - 060710
Once regarded as unsubstantiated fact and conspiracy rumor, this secretive cabal of the world's powerful elite is now accepted as fact and a danger for all of mankind to wake up to and be most wary of. Many have denied the group's existence, but only because they were either too naive to fathom its purpose, too lazy to do their own research, or part of the cover-up to keep the group's alliance and agenda a secret.

History has shown that when those of immense wealth unite together with a common purpose, it is most always for their own enrichment, and the forced servitude of those with far lesser means.

Read about the Bilderberg Group and understand how they adversely affect our world for the sake of their own greed. Then do a search for the Trilateral Commission and also the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR). While you're at it, search for Bohemian Grove.

How We Were All Lied To Over The Kosovo War
The Lengths That Crooked Politicians Will Go To For War & Profit
NewsFocus - 042710

We were all told that Solobodan Milosevic was a bad guy and was ousted because of the alleged Yugoslavian genocide, but was that the real story? Coincidentally, Milosevic died in his jail cell before the end of his trial, with the cause suspiciously listed as a heart attack. How convenient.

It may interest many to know that Yugoslavia holds a more profitable interest to the greater elite powers of wealth. The country was more likely targeted because of its strategic geographic and economic position. Most Americans are naively unaware of this region's vast economic value.

Some of the most important (lucrative) land and water routes pass through Yugoslavia. This economic corridor provides valued communication links between Europe, the Middle East, the North Sea and the Caucasus-Caspian zone. Coincidentally enough, those locations just so happen to have some of the largest oil resources in the world, and they are of great economic value to Europe.

Like all wars, if there isn't money in it, there is no need to invest war dollars for no return value. Yugoslavia had value, and that made it a prime target of the uber-wealthy elite. Like other conflicts and wars before it, the Kosovo war was a sham right from the start, but in order to fully see the deception, it helps to have an acute understanding of the past.

Remember one of the most stirring testimonies on Iraq, as George H.W. Bush sought a reason to invade the country? (After he told Saddam it was okay to invade Kuwait.) It was the young Iraqi girl who tearfully told Congress that Saddam's soldiers had stormed their hospitals, overturning incubators and leaving new born babies to die on the cold floor, but that story was revealed to be a bald-faced lie.

Bush used the world's largest PR firm, Hill & Knowlton, to plant a story that would con Americans into sympathetic support for attacking Saddam. Coincidentally enough, the person running the H&K Washington office was none other than close Bush friend, Craig Fuller, who was Bush's Chief of Staff when he was Vice President. (Also, the Wirthlin Group, research arm of H&K, was the pollster for the Reagan Administration.)

Fast forward to eight years later and once again we were being fed a story of human atrocity with the Bosnian Serbs as the scapegoats. This time it was the foreign press that was used as the conduit for disinformation and state propaganda. British news channel ITN faked pictures of a Bosnian-Serb "death camp". Remember the pictures of the alleged prison camp, with the emaciated man behind barbed wire? It too was all fake. The film crew positioned themselves on the inside of a fence, looking out towards the men, who were actually looking in. The closely cropped video gave the impression from the camera view that it was the men who were on the inside of the fence, when in actuality it was the news team who was on the inside looking out. (see video below)

So the Bosnian War was a concocted farce, just like the Gulf of Tonkin incident that led the US into Viet Nam, and also the weapons of mass destruction that Bush and Cheney blatantly lied about to get us into the second Iraq war. (Makes you really wonder about the Iran accusations, doesn't it?)

Americans need to understand how we are duped into war and how the media is used to sell us all a perverted lie for the sake of imperialism and war profits.

See the following short film, "Judgment." It details the Kosovo war lie and how we were all duped into another illegitimate war. People need to be aware of how far men of power will go to abuse their office for political and financial gain. It also helps for the public to understand just how complicit and/or corrupt many in our media are when it comes to selling the grand political lie to us all. An informed public is an educated public.

Know the real truth. It just might not be what you were originally led to believe.

Toxic Waste Behind The Somali Pirates
You Are Being Lied To About Pirates (The Story Corp Media Won't Tell You)
ProjectCensored.com

The international community has come out in force to condemn and declare war on the Somali fishermen pirates, while discreetly protecting the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fleets from around the world that have been poaching and dumping toxic waste in Somali waters since the fall of the Somali government eighteen years ago.

In 1991, when the government of Somalia collapsed, foreign interests seized the opportunity to begin looting the country’s food supply and using the country’s unguarded waters as a dumping ground for nuclear and other toxic waste.

According to the High Seas Task Force (HSTF), there were over 800 IUU fishing vessels in Somali waters at one time in 2005, taking advantage of Somalia’s inability to police and control its own waters and fishing grounds. The IUUs poach an estimated $450 million in seafood from Somali waters annually. In so doing, they steal an invaluable protein source from some of the world’s poorest people and ruin the livelihoods of legitimate fishermen. ...

The Peak Oil Crisis: China in 2010
IntelDaily.com, Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:00:00 +0000
Excerpt: Some outside observers, however, are not sure China's economy is is really growing as fast as Beijing claims. They cite numerous examples of anomalies in China's recent economic statistics. As China's exports are acknowledged to have dropped by 23 percent in July and August and 15 percent in September, this leaves only domestic consumption and investment in plant and infrastructure to be the source of the rapid growth.

The Vicious Competition For Peak Oil
24/7WallSt.com, November 30, 2009
There has been a heated argument for the last several years about when the world will start to run out of oil. The rate of oil production, after more than a century of drilling, may have already peaked or it may peak in a decade. Everything in oil production will be downhill after that.  The Observer recently pointed out that, “Even the Paris-based IEA admits that the world still needs to find the equivalent of four new Saudi Arabias to feed increasing demand at a time when the depletion rate in old fields of the North Sea and other major producing areas is running at 7% year on year.”

The more relevant concern, at least in the short-term, about oil should not be how much there is but who will own it.

Children of Afghan Refugees Are Dying From the Cold As Kabul Ignores Their Plight
By Susie Madrak Friday Nov 27, 2009 2:00pm
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for us to focus only on the humanitarian aid instead of bombing them? Yeah, I know there are huge logistical challenges - but are the challenges any worse than they are for trying to win a war?

Afghan refugees who fled the war-torn south have claimed they are so neglected by government in Kabul that their children are dying from hypothermia for want of the most basic supplies.

Families that left Helmand, Kandahar and other southern provinces to escape the fighting between US-led forces and a resurgent Taliban say the cold is much more lethal.

Living in a make-shift camp on the edge of Kabul, residents told Al Jazeera's James Bays that no government official has ever come to see how they have been forced to live.

Prince William to share Queen's duties: Treasury document reveals secret plan to make him the 'Shadow King'
DailyMail.co.uk, by Glen Owen, Mail on Sunday Political Correspondent

The Queen is to hand over a substantial part of her public duties to Prince William to help him prepare for the day when he becomes King, according to a confidential document obtained by The Mail on Sunday.

Secret papers reveal that plans to ease the strain on the 83-year-old monarch and her 88-year-old husband, Prince Philip, are at an advanced stage.

The disclosures come despite months of denials from the Palace that the Queen was planning to step back from her official work in favour of her 27-year-old grandson. 

The information is contained in a briefing note written by Chancellor Alistair Darling’s Treasury officials about new financial arrangements for Prince Charles and his sons.

Key paragraphs, disclosing the reason for the changes, are blacked out.

But this newspaper has obtained an uncensored version of the document which confirms that the Queen is grooming William as a ‘Shadow King’. ...

PROJECT INDECT: A.I. TO POLICE EUROPE

According to the project’s Web site, once completed, Project Indect would even be able to track vehicles as a type of support network for EU police officers.

Virtually every major project includes a healthy cut for the insurgents. Call it protection money, call it extortion, or, as the Taliban themselves prefer to term it, “spoils of war,” the fact remains that international donors, primarily the United States, are to a large extent financing their own enemy.

“Everyone knows this is going on,” said one U.S. Embassy official, speaking privately. ...
