(WMR)—The fall of autocratic regimes in the Arab Middle East and North Africa, which had more to do with skyrocketing unemployment and inflation than in a desire to “democratize,” gave the circling vultures of Western “pro-democracy” think tanks and foundations the opportunity to put stakes in the hearts of governing pan-Arab socialist political parties long seen as a threat to the goals of “uber-capitalist” globalization.

The United States, Australia, and New Zealand and their ally in Tbilisi, Mikheil Saakashvili, are upset that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently visited Fiji. The fear from Washington, Canberra, Wellington, and Tbilisi was that Lavrov was going to offer Fiji lucrative financial assistance in return for the South Pacific nation’s recognition of the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The two countries broke away from Georgia, triggering a war between Georgia and Russia in 2008. Continue reading
(WMR)—As the old saying goes, “when you’re trapped in a hole, stop digging.” The more Israel “reveals” about a four-nation terrorist plot allegedly aimed at Israel by Iran and Hezbollah, the more it becomes an obvious blatant propaganda ploy by Tel Aviv to pin blame on Iran and its allies.

The United States suffered 33,651 war dead defending South Korea in its fratricidal war, called a United Nations “peacekeeping” action, with North Korea. In a war started by the introduction of U.S. military “advisers,” the United States suffered 47,369 military dead in the civil war in South Vietnam. Now, President Obama is sending U.S. “advisers” to South Sudan during its border war with north Sudan. Although Obama is officially sending five U.S. military personnel to South Sudan, he also exempted them from prosecution by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. One Pentagon observer noted that “five” should be read as “fifty.” Continue reading

(WMR)—After decades of a global consensus that sought the decolonization of the remaining European colonies around the world, the European Union has reversed course and in a new decision on the member states’ overseas countries and territories—the term “colony” no longer being in vogue—expected for final adoption in March 2012, the EU now maintains that the smattering of EU member states’ overseas dependencies must be less “dependent” on Europe but must be maintained as “strategically important outposts spread all over the world.” The EU also wants European colonies to reflect the EU’s values and to get on board with globalization and international trade policies.
