Afghanistan - USA murders some 150 civilians using phosphorous bombs in Farah province and has the gall to offer "condolences". Sideline: USA is a signatory to int'l accords banning these weapons. Evidently, a pile of manure is worth more than west signature.
Made in USA.
Australia - "Problem and unemployed" kids headed for boot camps. Don't forget the unemployed adults, Canberra!
- So deep in the red that they admit to deficit lasting till 2016 at min.
- Despite that, governance manages to produce some 70B AUD for Aussie military. So long as west priorities remain intact.
- Housing shrivels 7%/yr, which is "worse than previously disclosed".
- Governance urges Aussies to "stock up on food and water but not to panic". This just to highlight the schizo insanity of west.
- 30% medical insurance cost cut? Oh, that was just an election joke.
Bolivia - Morales nationalises AirBP, UK BP sub on 1May.
Brazil - N-fuel enrichment facility goes on line with no chorus of threats heard from the west? Is Brazil a little too big for the west legions of child murdering lizards?
Canada - Military trains up on riot and urban uprising quelling. Now, why would that be?
- Fearing "fraud", homeless fingerprinted now in shelters. Defrauding homeless shelters? They fear that, after they print hundreds of billions to save the elite from prolapse and angry mobs?
China - Yuan heading for full convertibility to immunise it and its markets from the d0llar gangrene. As China doffs the d0llar shackles, over-valuation of d0llar is readily tabled apparently at 50%.
- Makes deal with Kazakhstan for 40K tonnes of uranium for the next decade. Again, notice the conspicuous lack of west threats to bury Beijing in phosphorous for its N-fuel ambitions. Yes, it's only children the west beast loves to attack and murder.
- Knocks USA out of Brazil's market.
- Makes 120B USD fund with Japan and S Korea (soon to be "erstwhile" USA colonies) as BeiCon spreads replacing the west IMF dictate.
- Halts USA investments. Though only 3 words, this may be the chief news of this NBN.
- Runs USA boat full of provocateurs out of China waters -- again. This time around however, Obama's refrained from the usual violence threats and confined USA displeasure to shooting water from the boat hose.
- Car sales up by 4%/Apr, some 20%/y2y. That's UP!
Czech - Prez Klaus vetoes the EUnuch constitution embarrassment. Klaus justifies this mild west dissent with the Irish "NO" vote that killed the 4th Reich wetdream in Jun08. Watch the Irish quickly bullied into a "correct" revote.
- Releases D Duke from jail and boots him out of the country. With no judgment on Duke, this exemplifies the west raving madness. Duke was arrested for violating laws, as they said. So either he did not commit any crime and therefore his censorship via expulsion is totally baseless or he did commit some crime and EU is engaging in no more than selective prosecution. However sliced, this embarrassing stunt underscores the charade west pretends to have for freedom.
Ecuador - Correa wins 2nd term.
Egypt - Riots erupt after USA puppet governance orders the slaughter of all pigs. Is this what's behind the USA-flu pandemic - food destruction mandate?
EU - The desperate EU slurps up to Iraq, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, and Azerbaijan in a new sidling up orgy held in Prague, Czech Rep, to try somehow bypass Russia with some gas pipeline. Imagine EU making promises to Turkey today. No questions, EUnuchs are off on another wild and costly ride like with the late Nabucco grand idea.
- Admits "recession deeper than previously revealed".
- Mulling over a short-work week, or rather short-wage week, as the Brusselites officially predict the zapping of 9M jobs.
- Fights erupt among the west top pirates as EU bristles over Germany's giving self 102B EUR via prolapsed Hypo. Sideline: Just pause for a second. 100B EUR? Compare that to some nominal int'l deal and you'll sense the degree of the hyperinflation pall hanging over west.
France - Car sales shrivel 7%/Apr.
- Mindrapists join the USA media whores and whinge that no one's eating their mainstream media barfs anymore. Sideline: It's a funny predicament cuz there's no way out of it. If they began broadcasting the truth no one would watch it anyway cuz that's admitting complicity with the war torture-happy, cash-stealing, child-murdering NWO junta. If they "stay the course" and keep lying with their UK/USA masters the results the same. West media becomes another casualty of the west prolapse.
Georgia - Hosts NATO (sans Kazakhstan, Moldova, Armenia, and Serbia) till 1Jun, in some freakish delusion that west is gonna save this castrated nation.
- Talk of coup on Muchrovani mil base heard.
- Demonstrations demanding toppling of Saakashvili's mad reign continue daily for a month now.
- State forced to release 3 arrested activists after state thug building was stormed by an angry mob. Talk about solidarity!
Germany - GM Opel on garage sale. 25K jobs to go overboard. Angry Berlin digs in heals and screams "Opel muss sein Deutsch".
- Surprisingly defies USA on feeding Germans tainted maize.
- USA transferring concentration camp prisoners to Germany. Fancy that! Two nations known for their official torture policies trade camp victims.
- Retail sales 1% down/Apr. Right, prolapse is not usually accompanied by shopping sprees.
Greece - State thugs use tear gas on 1May in Athens against civilians with "not paying for the crises" banners.
- Farmers protest in Athens, 5May.
Iran - Much to the west chagrin, discovers more oil reserves.
Iraq - Northern pipeline blown up.
- 11 killed in bombing in Baghdad while USA/UK media and political mindrapists sell Iraq as a "nation at peace".
- 5 USA occupying child murdering hired killers killed by their stg.
- USA troopers attacked in Ur.
- Green Zone shelled. SEE MORE ON IRAQ: heyetnet.org/eng
Italy - Fiat buying US prolapsed GM and Chrysler. Sideline: This is precisely what consolidation of west war junta assets is all about. It hardly matters who ends up "owning" it so long as no debt needs be honoured. In one signature, they wipe out all USA liabilities, reissue worthless stock papers, get rid of tens of thousands needless jobs, and maintain control over their war vehicle mfg.
Japan - After kissing up to Venezuela, now befriending Iran in hope to get a hand in Afghanistan or anywhere non-west.
- Screams for USA to pay up on car sector debts. This is what the hurried 5B USD to GM from Obama was about. USA tax cash was used as a quick fix guarantee to Japan.
- Honda profit shrivels over 70%.
- Retail sales down 4%/month marking 7th consecutive month of active prolapse.
- Toyota boasts a record loss of 800B JPY for 2008 fiscal yr.
- Toshiba boasts 400B JPY year loss and 13% sales erosion. Will celebrate by zapping 4K more jobs (after already zapping 4,5K).
Liechtenstein - West pulverisation of tax hives deals this Holy Roman Empire leftover a near 180M CHF blow for 2008. Sideline: Some 11T are hived away from the west beast costing west child murderers some 250B each yr in taxes, some 100B just from USA coffers. That's why USA/UK destroyed these bank economies. Fancy however the fact that it's AIG, Citi, and BoA, floated by hundreds of billions in free cash who are the chief tax evaders. Yes, west is criminal through and through. West is the disease!
- Alpe Bank headed for liquidation.
Mexico - Reopens schools and public places after USA-flu scare while USA ups the disease alert to pandemic level. Slightly out of sync there?
New Zealand - Deficit 2B NZD bigger than "previously disclosed".
North Korea - Tells west that it's gonna do another nuke test unless UN apologises for obscenities connected to Pyongyang's recent launch. So much for the west muscle then. Indeed, the only muscle that doesn't appear atrophied in the west today is its jaw hinge.
Poland - Prolapse forces Poland to max out its IMF cannibalistic credit line strengthening its west bondage by another 20B USD.
Puerto Rico - 30K protest prolapse in this USA-raped colony.
Russia - Severstal, steel giant clocking a near 10% growth in 2008, idles mills in West Virginia and Ohio, which it acquired on a garage sale in 2007. Obviously, USA dead mfg is in no need of 1.2M tonnes of steel/yr produced by Severstal and Severstal is in no need of the 2000 USA jobs.
- Bans UK pork import.
- Boots 2 Canadian NATO boys from Moscow.
- "Whatever we sell to Iran is not covered by any int'l prohibitions" seems to be the last answer from Moscow to the teeth-gnashing west as sales of "defence" weapons to Iran continue.
Serbia - EUnuch thugs fire tear gas on civilians protesting the EU continuous occupation of Serbia.
Spain - B Garzon, the man that took down the USA hitman Pinochet in 1998 is still at singlehandedly leading torture indictment against Bush II top hangmen.
- Keeps investigating 2002 Gaza genocide by Israel. Israel urges halting this "cynicism". In some way, Israel is correct here. Ignoring the 2009 Gaza genocide is a bit cynical of Spain.
Sri Lanka - Murders 64 civilians in an attack on a hospital.
- 2000 civilians slaughtered in a bombing.
- Bombs known no-fire zone where 150K civilians are hiding in attempt to flee the ethnic cleansing.
- As the racist cleansing is heralded to be nearly finished and with Tamils being down to last 2 square miles, USA unveils "post-conflict" plans. Sideline: Hang on! Post-conflict? USA? So this means that: (a) USA already knowns the end of it, just like Cheney knew how far the 911 airliner is from its "target" BEFORE it actually hit and (b) USA IS involved. Shock? No! If the Tamil civilians atrocities bear the unmistakable stench of west policies for Gaza, Iraq, or Afghanistan, it's no coincidence! The chief genocide architects and anti-civilian weapon suppliers here are, of course, USA, Israel, and UK. Israel even provides anti-civilian warfare tactics to Sri Lanka west puppets armies. USA de facto sentenced all Tamils to death in 2002 when Bush II put his "terrist" mark on these people enabling ignorance to any and all atrocities committed against them. Why? West craving for some foothold in Asia has been heightened with the organised booting of the west legions from Central Asia. In particular, the west rabid dog salivates over the possibility of having a nice quaint harbour from which to molest China/Africa trade routes. The fact that the desired land is occupied never stopped the west parasite before. After all, the mighty USA vampire is built on a genocide of some 15M. SEE MORE ON TamilNet.com.
Sweden - Saab goes on a garage sale.
Taiwan - Export down 34%. This too is "worse than previously forecast".
- Joins BeiCon with non-d0llar trade with China mainland.
Turkey - Strikes northern Iraq, 1Apr.
- 44 killed at a wedding in some family feud.
UAE - A royal caught in savage torture but USA and EU seem to have no problem with this non-human savagery? After all, Abu Dhabi is west war junta latest resort, isn't it?
Torture inflicted by Nuhayyan, close USA/UK buddy.
UK -
- Prolapsing BBC to hit Google for stealing their thunder. It's just nice to see the death pangs of the west mindrape media whores.
- 5-11 yrs kids to soon enjoy compulsory appreciation of homo sex. Sideline: Add the German pamphlet on how parents should masturbate newborns and the west christianic pedophile case backlog and you get a loud and clear: West is the disease.
- Econ shrivels over 4% or "worse than previously admitted".
- In a pathetic underhanded attempt to hush up USA atrocities, UK went about USA torture camps offering prisoners hush up jobs for their silence.
- Pension deficit double at 61B GBP in Q1. So long as the pension managers pull their millions, who cares about the grandmas.
- Confirms that taxpayers pay the betters also for their supply of chocolate bon-bons and porn.
- BoE prints another 50B GBP while keeping the rate at pathetic half a point.
USA - AlJazeera shows that indeed USA troops are told to "hunt people for Jesus". So no change then in west's genocidal policies for 2000 years.
- Internet under attack from all angles. This time the thugs attack the "carbon footprint" from all the engaged computers. Of course, this "carbon footprint" is doubled by the west spy computers that hive away all the terrabytes as they duplicate every single email.
- Econ shrivels over 6%/Q1 or "more than previously expected". This is a 25 yr record drop marking the worst 6 months in 50 yrs. That's some record for USA's 230 year short life.
- Export hits 40 yr low in 1Q. As mind boggling as this is it's quite nominal for a terminal prolapse.
- GM to zap 21K jobs in its prolapse. Sideline: GM follows west bank "bailout" scheme in which they simply dump the "toxic" assets/stock and issue a new one. The old assets are wiped out in a reverse split at 99% deval. Plus, GM is trading 27B USD in bonds for the new scam shares. This means that GM is planning to paying for their loans with new stock paper instead of cash. No such voodoo accounting exists in the history of mankind.
- Chrysler gets 7B USD just to go bankrupt (GM got 5B to close shop), close 10 plants, move some mfg to Mexico, and zap 18K jobs.
- The number of kids diagnosed and TREATED for some mental illness doubles the last decade.
- 25% homes have negative equity.
- Under the euphemism of a "stress test" USA reveals banks are short 65B USD. Watch for another round of cash printing even though Obama has a near 4T plan already with which to save USA.
- Extends taxes abroad to all multinationals. Watch for a baboon exodus.
- Obama claims he needs 60B USD to fix USA "health". Not a joke!
- 500K jobs zapped in Apr bringing the total number of zapped just in 2009 to 2,5M.
- Official jobless rate still under 10% though. This is surely another lie since the official numbers claim the loss of only 6M jobs since 2007.
- Obama extends export blocks as he continues sanctions against Syria. But as USA exports dwindle to pathetic levels this kind of "sanctioning" can only hurt USA today while make others laugh.
- California, with 30B deficit, is so broke it's forced to release 40K prison inmates. This after parts of California stopped prosecuting criminals due to fiscal rigor mortis.
Venezuela - State oil PDVSA doubles profit (some 12B USD) in 2008 despite the USA/Saudi harebrained plot to starve all non-US oil wells by artificial price suppression.
- Takes over USA oil service firms Williams and Helmrich as their contracts expire. Why doesn't USA spin this by saying their doing a "good will gesture" to Chavez by giving him their oil biz in Venezuela?
- Ending the capitalist litter by knocking down all the disgusting west-style ad billboards.
...to be cont'd as it all piles up.

Well, well, poiuytr, the verve with which this edition of NBN unfolds belies your recent illness. You were on your sick bed and still didn't miss a beat. Well done.
The way NBN was subordinated this week to Mission: Chariots of Fire Take Malachai to Heaven instead of following the usual chronological order aroused my admiration. An individual for once getting his rightful place above the collective. Malachai Ritscher amply deserves the honour.
Mandolin
A highly invigorating read as usual. This bit about China took my breath away: "Halts USA investments. Though only 3 words, this may be the chief news of this NBN." The Sri Lanka war description answered various questions which had been bothering me for sometime past.
Then, à propos NKorea, there was this jewel of an observation: "So much for the west muscle then. Indeed, the only muscle that doesn't appear atrophied in the west today is its jaw hinge." Thanks, p., what you do for us is truly inestimable.
By the way, even tiny Liechtenstein, generally swollen with mad money, admits to losses to the tune of 127 million francs for 2008.
Beautiful remark Mandolin: The way NBN was subordinated this week to Mission: Chariots of Fire Take Malachai to Heaven instead of following the usual chronological order aroused my admiration.
Beautiful of you and of poiuytr.
I'm glad to hear Chavez is getting rid of all that agressive west-style PR stuff, billboards and the like. Pollution on a large-scale, that, whipping up innocent people's greed to a frenzy. I hope many other countries on all the continents will follow suit. We don't need their ad shit.
It was only a little thing, the smallest of gestures, but thank you for voicing appreciation, Anonymous 14:07.

Homeless in Canada Have Fingerprints Scanned
CBC | The homeless shelter is testing a new $150,000 security system that scans clients’ fingerprints.
Now this one I do really like. Canada is sure one twisted zio country. And Quebec, the only hope, seems to find nothing to say. What a shame!
IMF slashes Gulf growth forecast (11.5.09)
The Gulf region has had its 2009 economic growth forecast cut by more than half from 5.4 per cent in 2008 to 2.3 per cent by the International Monetary Fund, as the world recession kicks in.
Low oil prices and proposed cuts in production by Opec (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is the primary contributor of the revision on Sunday.
Gulf states banks' exposure to weakening real estate markets has also led to the reduced figures.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the economies of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait are going to shrink this year.
The IMF predicted in February that the region's economies would grow by 3.5 per cent this year.
Two out of the west's Rogues' Gallery keep up a pretence of objectivity and prosperity.
Boosting The Dying Dollar With A False Rally
Posted: May 9 2009 - by Bob Chapman
Suckers rally sets up the unwinding of the market, Rally just like in 1933, wealth producers becoming impoverished, Fed officer busted for fraud, troubles in the Economy are far beyond fixing, interdependence of banks around the world expected to worsen economic problems On Friday the dollar completely broke down, with the USDX collapsing to about 82.5, as monetizations by the Fed became a stark reality. A world stock market collapse could be imminent as a source of dollar support. We wonder how low they will let the dollar go before they collapse the stock markets to chase people back into US treasuries, which have also broken down, with treasury interest rates on the rise despite various Fed purchases of treasuries in the hundreds of billions. So much for the bogus stress tests as things turn much uglier than anticipated by the boneheads in Goldman Sachs South who are attempting to resurrect the Goldilocks Matrix. The suckers rally is simply the loading and winding of a catapult meant to throw the dollar upward as the stock market spring unwinds at the moment chosen by the PPT, which moment has already been telegraphed to Illuminist insiders for their continued looting of the sheople and for the filthy aggrandizement of their growing mountain of ill-gotten gains. The stock market shorts are being set up in the dark pools of liquidity beyond the purview of regulators as this article is being written, so if you plug yourself back into the pod electrodes of the Goldilocks Matrix again, you are in for a major shock.
Stock market rallies aimed at sucking in sheople-dupes based on bogus hedonic financial statistics, fairytale financial statements, fascistic injections of monopoly money into the economy and false Goldilocks news spin will continue on as a source of insider trading profits and as a ready source of capital to boost the dying dollar. As the world's stock markets collapse in sympathy with the US stock markets as the PPT withdraws its support globally, stocks around the world will be sold off, and the proceeds will be channeled into the perceived safe-haven of US treasuries. This boosts the dollar because sales proceeds from the liquidation of foreign stocks that are denominated in foreign currencies are exchanged for dollars in order to purchase US treasuries, thereby creating a dramatic demand for dollars. Sell into this current stock market strength and get out of the stock markets, or prepare to get vaporized by an Illuminist laser beam that is being focused on the sheople for a nice roasting so the elitists can enjoy some more mutton chops while they watch the dollar anti-gravity machine perform its magic for their entertainment and profit. Also, a dollar boost provides some assistance for carrying out JOB ONE at the Fed, which is gold suppression, so you can take a stock decline to the bank based on that principle alone.
The Consumers Confidence Index, the lowest since records began in 1967 came off the bottom in March, just barely. The market has rallied 30% off its bottom, just as it did in 1933, and we are told by Wall Street and Washington that the recession is over. Housing starts are off 80.4% from three years ago. We forecast 75% would have been sufficient, but in a depression things are different. The question is how long will starts bump along the bottom with as 12.2-month inventory? Healthy markets have a 5-month overhang - not to mention used home inventory. Prices are off 20% or more and the median may eventually fall 40%. Buying in this atmosphere is foolhardy at best. Then again, a fool and his money are soon parted.
Job losses result in foreclosure 15% of the time and if the monthly average of 570,000 in the first quarter falls to 325,000, almost 3 million jobs will be lost by yearend and another 450,000 foreclosures and an unemployment rate of 11%. Experts say another 7.8 million jobs will be lost by the end of 2009, and industrial production will fall another 17%. This would cause the loss of 5.1 million more jobs as opposed to 2 million.
Industrial production was off 12.8% yoy, as capacity utilization fell to 69.3%, the lowest since records began in 1967. At the same time the amount of excess capacity utilization is unprecedented. Never mind lost jobs, the economy has to create 125,000 jobs a month just to absorb new entrants into the labor market. It will be at least six years before employment will grow again under the best of circumstances. We are already in a depression as bad as in the 1930s.
The elitists continue to throw money at the problem and after 75 years of going to the well, the debt structure is unsustainable. That is with many years of inflation. We all know as professionals what has to happen as a result of these policies. Then to add to the madness some economists have suggested negative interest rates. The act of the Fed lending money and paying you to borrow the funds. This supposedly would increase economic activity. The theory is for the Fed to increase inflation, which would make cash trash and force people to spend. There is a problem with that theory other than it won’t work and that is people can buy gold and silver with their depreciating dollars. Even if they do not go up they’ll hold their value, something the dollar won’t do under those circumstances. All current problems can be traced to low interest rates and unsustainable levels of borrowing and spending. This theory in the long run increases the problem and causes further monetization. Such ideas as usual emanate from Harvard, that seat of illuminist intellectual power, the August hub of learning, which bestowed a master’s degree on that idiot George W. Bush. Am I happy I chose Northeastern instead.
In spite of some raised eyebrows over the Chapman blog below, this extract from a recent article held my interest.
I had a good laugh over the China-US naval clash account. Poiuytr in top form there. Which reminds me of what one blogger said a little while back: some of poiuytr's posts are so fucking funny, they belong in the fucking Louvre.
Mortar Shelling to Green Zone
Monday, 11 May 2009
So-called "Green Zone" heavily fortified in central Baghdad this morning (Monday) was subjected to mortar shelling, according to a source in the government police.
The source pointed out that a mortar shell landed today morning on the Green Zone which has strict security measures, without giving further details.
The "Green Zone" in Baghdad includes the headquarters of the current government in addition to the embassies of the U.S. and the British occupation.
HEYET Net - Agencies
http://www.heyetnet.org/eng/iraqi-resistance/4381-mortar-shelling-to-green-zone.html
“A U.S. service member opened fire on fellow members of the military, killing four and wounding several others, at the main U.S. base in Baghdad,” NBC News reports that officials have told them.
NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski reported the assailant took his own life after the violent outburst. The attacker was described as a “stressed out” U.S. soldier.
The military said in a statement that the shooting occurred about 2 p.m. Monday at Camp Liberty near Baghdad International Airport.
According to CNN, at least three other soldiers were wounded.
“The U.S. military statement did not give further details about the shooting or the identity of those killed at the sprawling base, Camp Liberty, next to Baghdad airport,” Reuters notes.
The Associated Press reports, “The toll was the highest for U.S. personnel in a single incident since April 10, when a suicide truck driver killed five American soldiers with a blast near a police headquarters in the northern city of Mosul.”

Why stressed out? Why not simply an anti-Iraq war protestor like Hasan Akbar or Malachai Ritscher?
"Nation by Nation" is quite useful. It's a pity that it views everything through a prism of prejudice.
RE: 18:31: I expect to hear more of this happening. I also suspect that it has, but as usual, they are hiding it!
Prejudice is in the mind of the beholder. If pro-west, then obviously this blog is going to be the wrong place to be in. On the other hand, if the enemy is to be defined without ambiguity, then only the west qualifies. By enemy is meant, of course, the enemy of mankind.
19.01: "Nation by Nation" is quite useful you say. You are learning!
"It's a pity that it views everything through a prism of prejudice."
The real prejudice is Apartheid Jews only State of Israel: Zionism.
Take a moment in your bullshit brain. Europe established a colony in the heart of Arabia. Don't expect peace.
Love
informatron
No, you're right there, informatron. No peace in the world until Palestine is restored to its original status. It's a fight unto the death, this one. The Muslims will give it everything they've got. And Russia and China will tag along as well finally, because other-wise their own survival will be compromised. I shouldn't take that "prism of prejudice" seriously if I were you. Sounds good, means nothing. Poiuytr does not deal in prejudice, as you and I know. Rather he offers us a vision of justice proven by the facts.
thanks for all good words, people! they're all appreciated. not so much by my ego but in general for it strengthens the virtual solidarity that's growing across the planet against the unspeakably sordid beastly crimes and psychotic behaviour of the non-human west child murdering butchers. the real importance of all supportive commentary here and elsewhere on the web is the (a) underscoring of the rise against the west evil, and (b) demonstration of bravery of making the sentiments public. both add tremendously to the rising tide against the west planetary rape and tyranny and probably achieve far more than any one particular blog can. certainly more than NBN, which only serves as a platform to join a few hands, hearts, and minds. it is for this reason i appreciate them!

it's absolutely wonderful to see that others are sickened by this capitalist rape of the nature and land. where once was a forest, river, and a lake now tower diseased gigantic posters of the disgusting white scumbags posing in fake orgasms over the latest aspertame-laced USA soda or a shampoo used by the saxonic child murderers to soften their dirty skull bristles.
yes, it's fantastic to see even these capitalists claws dug into our precious planet severed and flushed to hell where all of this profit bean-counting saxonic swill belongs.

19:01 -- prejudice?
either you're just parroting what the west mindrapists waterboarded into your skull without grasping what the word means or you're angling for a fight. NBN is a compilation of news, therefore it's all POSTjudice, not PREjudice. which bit exactly do you believe to be prejudicial?
don't mistake the fact that the west flushing down the toilet where this bizarre lunatic DNA strand child murdering lifeform has always belonged is celebrated by NBN with prejudice. that's as silly as west media mistaking pathetic half a point bank deposit rate for deflation.
in fact, i'll challenge you further.
give me 3 things, 3 GOOD things that USA or UK has done for the world, for the humankind. just 3. OK, just ONE.
GIVE ME ONE SINGLE LAUDABLE THING THE WEST HAS DONE FOR THE WORLD.
i know of no instance that could be spun into something positive. every single famine, massacre, poverty, disease, genocide, land theft, war, theft has west behind it. and this has been the constant pattern for 2000 yrs, ever since the baltic saxonic disease created the mayhem called holy roman empire in 300AD, the west has not given the world anything but perpetual horror of war and not an honourable war, but war against children and their mums.
there is nothing on this planet or that one can invent to even match the true disease the west is and so in every aspect.

Pakistan war fuels international tensions - by Peter Symonds - Global Research, May 12, 2009
World Socialist Web Site
Comments by China’s ambassador in Islamabad last Thursday highlight the reckless character of the Obama administration’s escalating intervention in Pakistan. By pressuring Islamabad to wage an all-out military offensive against Islamic insurgents in the Swat Valley and neighbouring districts, Washington is not only destabilising Pakistan but raising tensions in a highly volatile area.
Speaking to Pakistani business leaders, Chinese ambassador Luo Zhaohui pointedly voiced concern about the growth of “outside influence” in the region. He singled out the US in particular, saying that China was worried about US policies and the presence of a large number of foreign troops in neighbouring Afghanistan. While reiterating China’s support for “the fight against terror,” Luo declared that US strategies needed some “corrective measures”. He added, “These are issues of serious concern for China.”
Luo’s unusually blunt remarks came just one day after US President Obama spoke to his Chinese counterpart, President Hu Jintao. While a number of issues were discussed, the escalating war in Pakistan was clearly high on the agenda. This first publicised phone call between the two men came as Obama met with the Afghan and Pakistani presidents over US strategy in the two countries. While Hu reportedly offered his cooperation, Luo’s comments express China’s underlying fears over growing US influence in South Asia.
Last week’s tripartite summit in Washington signalled a major upsurge in military violence in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Under intense pressure from the US, the Pakistani army has launched a large-scale offensive against militants in the Swat Valley in which hundreds have already died and hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced to flee. The summit, however, involved more than discussions on military cooperation, outlining comprehensive plans for the closer economic and strategic integration of the two countries into an American sphere of influence.
China, which has longstanding ties with Pakistan, is obviously disturbed by these developments. As Ambassador Luo told his business audience, more than 60 Chinese companies are involved in 122 projects in Pakistan. He noted the “close liaison” with Pakistan over the security of over 10,000 Chinese engineers and technical experts in the country. In fact, Beijing has previously insisted on reprisals over the abduction and killing of Chinese citizens by Pakistani militants as well as military action against Islamic Uighur separatists from western China taking refuge in Pakistan.
More fundamentally, Beijing regards Islamabad as a crucial partner in its own regional strategy. China devoted considerable resources to building up Pakistan as a counterweight to India after the 1962 Sino-Indian border war. Pakistan is the largest purchaser of Chinese arms and, according to the Pentagon, accounted for 36 percent of China’s military exports between 2003 and 2007. Chinese technical assistance was critical to Pakistan’s nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programs.
In return, China received the green light to build a major naval/commercial port facility at Gwadar, a coastal town in Baluchistan. The port is the linchpin of Beijing’s “string of pearls” strategy to establish access for its expanding navy to a series of ports along key sea routes across the Indian Ocean—above all, to protect oil and gas supplies from the Middle East and Africa. For its part, the US, which regards China as a rising economic and strategic rival, is determined to maintain its military, including naval, predominance.
US-China tensions over Pakistan only highlight the deeply destabilising role of Washington’s aggressive intervention, firstly in subjugating Afghanistan, and now in seeking to bring Pakistan more directly under its sway. The escalating conflict in Pakistan is a direct product of the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, which the Bush administration forced Pakistan to support under the threat of becoming a military target itself. Widespread opposition inside Pakistan and Afghanistan to US actions has fuelled a growing insurgency that threatens not only the US occupation of Afghanistan, but a full-scale civil war in Pakistan.
US imperialism, under the Obama administration, is determined to exploit the very disasters it has created in order to advance its strategic interests throughout the broader region, especially in energy-rich Central Asia. By doing so, Washington is fundamentally altering the precarious strategic balance and threatening to draw the other major powers into the vortex.
China is not alone in its fear of US designs in Central Asia and the presence of large numbers of foreign troops in Afghanistan. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US has been seeking to establish military alliances and economic ties with the newly established Central Asian Republics. Washington exploited its invasion of Afghanistan to establish military bases in Central Asia for the first time. Afghanistan and Pakistan also provided a potential alternate pipeline route to extract energy riches from the region. In response, China and Russia, which both regard the region as their backyard, came together in the Shanghai Cooperation Group to counter expanding American influence.
Neighbouring India is also watching events in Pakistan with trepidation. While quietly applauding Washington’s pressure on Islamabad to wage war against “terrorism”, New Delhi is concerned that Pakistan’s closer incorporation under the American umbrella may lead to the downgrading of the US-Indian strategic partnership, which only developed in the late 1990s. The weakening of rival Pakistan, against which India has fought three wars, is no doubt welcomed in New Delhi. But its replacement by a US client state, or worse its collapse into chaos, would only confront the Indian establishment with new uncertainties.
The entire region remains a potential powder keg. The Cold War certainties that divided the world between the Soviet and Western blocs have been replaced by new tensions and rivalries. Tentative steps by India and Pakistan to resolve their longstanding disputes, especially over Kashmir, have all but stalled. Efforts by China and India to improve relations have moved slowly. Each continues to eye the other with suspicion and to intrigue at each other’s expense in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Burma.
The most explosive ingredient in this volatile mixture is the attempt by US imperialism to use its military superiority to offset its long-term economic decline. Far from easing tensions, the installation of the Obama administration marked an aggressive new turn in the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan aimed at advancing US ambitions. Last week’s comments by China’s ambassador are another sign that Washington’s moves will not go unopposed.

US to borrow 46 cents for every dollar spent
The government will have to borrow nearly 50 cents for every dollar it spends this year, exploding the record federal deficit past $1.8 trillion under new White House estimates. Budget office figures released Monday would add $89 billion to the 2009 red ink — increasing it to more than four times last year's all-time high as the government hands out billions more than expected for people who have lost jobs and takes in less tax revenue from people and companies making less money.
This country is on the precipice of collapsing under the weight of its own debt, just like the old Soviet Union.

US-Canadian Shale Could Neutralize Russian Energy Threat - SPX (12.05.2009)
Rising shale gas production in the United States and Canada as well as potential natural gas supplies from Iraq could be pivotal in curbing Russia's ability to organize an "energy weapon" against European consumers, according to a new study released by Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.
The study, "Russia and the Caspian States and the Global Energy Balance," examines Russia's evolving energy relations with its Caspian neighbors, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the West and considers potential scenarios for Russian and Caspian oil and natural gas strategies.
"Maintaining favorable tax conditions to support investment in onshore shale gas resources in the United States can play an important role of containing Russia's leverage over an increasingly global natural gas market," said Kenneth Medlock, a Baker Institute researcher and lead author of the study. "In addition to North American resources, our scenario analysis shows that there are several supply sources that can serve as viable alternatives to heavy future global reliance on Russian natural gas."
The level of investment made by small U.S. independent oil and gas companies could be negatively impacted by proposed new tax changes such as the abolition of IDC (intangible drilling costs) credits and adjustments in the depreciation allowance because in many cases, smaller drilling companies do not have the scale to absorb additional costs.
Medlock said that Russian efforts to organize a "gas troika" among three of the largest natural gas producers - Iran, Russia and Qatar - would result in all members of the troika losing significant market share over time with only minor, short-lived gains from higher prices.
The development of alternative supplies from a variety of other sources, including North America, North Africa, Australia and Iraq, would serve as counterweights to attempts by the troika to exercise any market power.
"Ironically, Russia could be one of the biggest losers in this scenario," Medlock said.
Nonetheless, the Baker Institute recommends that the United States and Europe work together to promote the development of additional natural gas storage capacity (perhaps a strategic stockpile), particularly in Europe, to enhance energy security in the emerging global natural gas market.
8:20 -- USA flu
my bet is that they're trying to fuse swine flu with some contagious carrier like bird flu and it certainly exists somewhere but the efficacy of the spread is in question apparently and was overestimated by the makers.
after all, USA bio-attacked Cuba with some strain of this influenza in 1961 when USA sent 3000 of its own terrorists to Cuba to wreak havoc there.
---------------------------------
10:19 -- gas troika
great news. so Russia's building a gas cartel with Iran and one of west's colonies. that explains why suddenly EU, after laying Nabucco to rest, is back at sparing no expense in another attempt to bypass Russia.
as far as resources go, in general, west is completely finished. it doesn't even have enough lithium to make batteries to power its dildos. it doesn't even have enough food to feed itself.
the baker institute, instead of drivel, might wanna look into some possibility of turning the homeless and jobless into some bio energy source cuz that's all west's got left.
Did you miss the gas cartel story Russia, Iran, Qatar? It's been around for some months now. Add this to the Southern Corridor and Eastern Partnership efforts and we're back to the same thing all over again: the three S's, the triplets, or troika, spin, scam and sleaze. I swear if I had kids I'd name them after the three S's.

You've thrown down the gauntlet before and it has always left me feeling confused. What if someone piped up and said: Science, pure and applied, Medicine, the Arts. Is the west supposed to have achieved nothing at all in those fields or is it that the fact they are such lying murderous bastards which cancels out any achievements maybe chalked up elsewhere? Thanks for shedding some light on this for me.

14:44 -- West Challenge
not to worry about science. west has managed to abuse and pervert even this.
they wiped out Tesla and gave world scumbags like einstein. while facts like earth being round, spinning around the sun, in a solar system, number of planets, geography, algebra, banking systems, atoms, DNA, anatomy, etc were known and/or used 3000 yrs before the saxonic animal disgorged from its baltic marshed, it took a criminal like the west to hide all this data in "secret libraries" and murder masses to keep them in artificial "Dark Ages" (which BTW continue today) and later credit itself with all these discoveries in the 15th century or thereabouts.
what west heralds as "Copernicus Revolution" is nothing more than west-wide theft, lies, and spin of exactly the same size as their 911 self abuse laughable bullshit.
what west heralds as the greatest genius -- that bristly einstein fiend -- is no more than a little holy roman empire unkempt vassal bitch sicced on the world to propound west religious dogma spun for "scientifically inclined" known as big bang crap, which was "invented" by west chief jesuit.
in the meantime, sure, west has "scientists" but all they produce is evil like this swine-bird flu fusion, or missiles like Von Braun who murdered 50K in his underground dungeons, not to mention 3000 Londoners, and got the highest USA honours and medals from prez Johnson for his scientific achievemnts, or phosphorous bombs with which they're burning children alive.
i give you HAARP. research it. that's west science at work. this exemplifies the west disease. they stole Tesla and are using it to destroy the world. actually USING it right now to destroy us by some misunderstood attempt to pump gigawatts into ionosphere to cause rips in it. check it out for yourself cuz this is totally unbelievable but one of HAARP goals is mass mind population control. not making this up! check out the USA patents. hence the chemtrail bombings and so on.
west science gives us non-digestable foods that even germans don't wanna feed on. west science gives us the biggest spy network and yet the west monkeys drill teeth like they did before egypt. look at the recent west "scientific" breakthroughs.
a fucking robot that mounts to a person so that the person becomes a SUPERSOLDIER. look at CNN having orgasms over this one. or a taser gun with which the crazed loons murder people for fun around the planet. avian flu. swine-flu. AIDs. and yet it's taken a decade and it's still not solved and west stretches video to match their latest high fucking definition format. totally bonkers!
west science is an oxymoron like west peace, west democracy, west freedom, west truth and on.
the west challenge stands unanswered for a simple reason: there is no answer. west has never done anything laudable or in aid of the world. not one single time in its grisly, bloodthirsty, and evil existence.

Trucks torched at NATO supply terminal in Pakistan May 13, 09 By RIAZ KHAN
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - Suspected Taliban stormed a depot handling supplies for NATO troops in Afghanistan on Wednesday and torched eight trucks, as Pakistani troops and warplanes battled militants in a swath of the northwest.
Dozens of attackers poured into the transport terminal near the northwest city of Peshawar and set the trucks ablaze before fleeing, police official Ghafoor Khan Afridi said.
Attacks on terminals and trucks rolling through the Khyber Pass toward Afghanistan have intensified since last year, adding to concern that more and more regions along the Afghan border are slipping from government control.
NATO and U.S. commanders insist that their losses have been minimal and pose no threat to their expanding military operation in Afghanistan. Still, they have begun seeking alternative routes through Central Asia.
The latest incident comes as Pakistan's army is embroiled in a major operation - launched under intense U.S. pressure - to evict Taliban militants from the Swat Valley and two other districts uncomfortably close to the capital, Islamabad.
On Tuesday, the military said helicopters dropped commandos behind Taliban lines in Swat and claimed that it had killed more than 750 militants since the operation began in late April. But the military acknowledged it had yet to start operations in the region's main town of Swat, where witnesses say Taliban insurgents are in control and preparing for what could be bloody door-to-door fighting.
The latest conflict has prompted an estimated 800,000 people to flee their homes, in addition to a half-million refugees from earlier military offensives in the northwest, and adding a humanitarian emergency to Pakistan's mounting problems.

Jim Rogers: It's Time for Another Stock-Market Correction
The dollar’s rally is set to end in a “currency crisis,” investor Jim Rogers said, adding that he may bet on a slide in equities after nine weeks of gains. The advance in the U.S. currency has been driven by investors covering their short sales, Rogers, 66, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Singapore. He may consider adding to his holdings of the yen and prefers the euro to the dollar or the pound, the investor added.
“We’re going to have a currency crisis, probably this fall or the fall of 2010,” Rogers said. “It’s been building up for a long time. We’ve had a huge rally in the dollar, an artificial rally in the dollar, so it’s time for a currency crisis.” The dollar has climbed against all of the so-called Group of 10 currencies except the yen over the past 12 months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The U.S. currency was at $1.3592 per euro today from $1.3582.
Rogers joins “Black Swan” author Nassim Nicholas Taleb in avoiding the U.S. currency. Taleb told a May 7 conference in Singapore he preferred gold and copper to the dollar and the euro as the global economy faces a “big deflation.” Gains in U.S. stocks also signal a “correction,” Rogers said. He’s avoiding equities for the next two to three years because prospects haven’t changed, he added.
21:04 -- west challenge, the science/arts thing

you don't need to watch it, it's stupid and boring it references the sickness of west, the perversion of science.
so some west moron "invents" this robot that a guy straps on. now, there's many applications for it, if it worked, like recycling the rubbish, or using it to lift cars, cargo, or help handicapped people move about or etc.
but no, not for the west disease. help someone? that's not west. notice that west instantly and immediately zeros in on war. the CNN coverage of this crap invention instantly orgasms over how the pretty white USA boys will be aided in killing. CNN instantly touts the stupid robot as a aid in "loading missiles onto a plane". that's the point here. west is war, nothing else.
west knows nothing else but war. it invests in nothing else. it supports nothing else. it has no other interests. it has no other thoughts but war, mass slaughter, domination, pillage, and rape.
west's only agenda is and always has
been war.
all scientific breakthroughs and achievements follow this precise pattern thanks to the west disease:
some Neanderthal had found fire and so he cooked his meal, kept the cave warm, and protected family from predators.
USA baboon found fire, lied about finding it, kept it from the rest, killed those who questioned it, and used it to burn children he raped with his tribal mates.
So, poiuytr, I went and did a printout of the first part of your reply to 21.04 (12.5.09). And studied it because it constitutes the core of your message, doesn't it, and which some people might even confound with prejudice if they are inattentive. One sentence, then: "west has never done anything laudable or in aid of the world." Therein lies the significance of the point you're making, I pondered. Not that the west has never done anything at all ever, but that it has never done anything "laudable" or "in aid of the world". Those are the operatives words: laudable, in aid of humanity. The antibiotics they produced (probably stolen from someplace else without acknowledgement) was for their own use, to save their own lives. Later they saw profit in it and handed out bits and pieces to the rest of us whom they were controlling in any case through colonialism, post-colonialism and neo-colonialism. No humane sentiments in them at all. Ditto for their art: it exists, but it's self-aggrandizement. 99% of so-called west artists are propagandists and narcissists. Nothing "laudable" about that either, nor meeting the criteria of "in aid of the world".
The violence that inhabits them from cradle to grave is obvious to us all. No need to take that up here. So, poiuytr, have I seen things a bit more clearly now or not? In any case, thanks for losing neither patience nor stamina in getting the message out.
Imminent Global Stock Market Crash to Support U.S. Dollar, Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
May 09, 2009 By: Global_Research
Bob Chapman writes: On Friday the dollar completely broke down, with the USDX collapsing to about 82.5, as monetizations by the Fed became a stark reality. A world stock market collapse could be imminent as a source of dollar support. We wonder how low they will let the dollar go before they collapse the stock markets to chase people back into US treasuries, which have also broken down, with treasury interest rates on the rise despite various Fed purchases of treasuries in the hundreds of billions. So much for the bogus stress tests as things turn much uglier than anticipated by the boneheads in Goldman Sachs South who are attempting to resurrect the Goldilocks Matrix.
The suckers rally is simply the loading and winding of a catapult meant to throw the dollar upward as the stock market spring unwinds at the moment chosen by the PPT, which moment has already been telegraphed to Illuminist insiders for their continued looting of the sheople and for the filthy aggrandizement of their growing mountain of ill-gotten gains. The stock market shorts are being set up in the dark pools of liquidity beyond the purview of regulators as this article is being written, so if you plug yourself back into the pod electrodes of the Goldilocks Matrix again, you are in for a major shock.

War and natural gas: The Israeli invasion and Gaza's offshore gas fields - www.gasandoil.com
13.5.09 - The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.
This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.
British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon's Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in a 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 with the Palestinian Authority. The rights to the offshore gas field are respectively British Gas (60 %); Consolidated Contractors (CCC) (30 %); and the Investment Fund of the Palestinian Authority (10 %).
The PA-BG-CCC agreement includes field development and the construction of a gas pipeline.
The BG licence covers the entire Gazan offshore marine area, which is contiguous to several Israeli offshore gas facilities. It should be noted that 60 % of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine.
The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 tcf, valued at approximately $ 4 bn. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine's gas reserves could be much larger.
Who owns the gas fields ?
The issue of sovereignty over Gaza's gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine.
The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza's offshore gas reserves. British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields.

Death of a Civilization by David Deming 13.5.09
Over the past several years we have learned that small groups of people can engage in mass suicide. In 1978, 918 members of the Peoples' Temple led by Jim Jones perished after drinking poisoned koolaid. In 1997, 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult died after drugging themselves and tieing plastic bags around their heads. Unfortunately, history also demonstrates that it is possible for an entire civilization to commit suicide by intentionally destroying the means of its subsistence.
In the early nineteenth century, the British colonized Southeast Africa. The native Xhosa resisted, but suffered repeated and humiliating defeats at the hands of British military forces. The Xhosa lost their independence and their native land became an English colony. The British adopted a policy of westernizing the Xhosa. They were to be converted to Christianity, and their native culture and religion was to be wiped out. Under the stress of being confronted by a superior and irresistible technology, the Xhosa developed feelings of inadequacy and inferiority. In this climate, a prophet appeared.
In April of 1856, a fifteen-year-old girl named Nongqawuse heard a voice telling her that the Xhosa must kill all their cattle, stop cultivating their fields, and destroy their stores of grain and food. The voice insisted that the Xhosa must also get rid of their hoes, cooking pots, and every utensil necessary for the maintenance of life. Once these things were accomplished, a new day would magically dawn. Everything necessary for life would spring spontaneously from the earth. The dead would be resurrected. The blind would see and the old would have their youth restored. New food and livestock would appear in abundance, spontaneously sprouting from the earth. The British would be swept into the sea, and the Xhosa would be restored to their former glory. What was promised was nothing less than the establishment of paradise on earth.
Nongqawuse told this story to her guardian and uncle, Mhlakaza. At first, the uncle was skeptical. But he became a believer after accompanying his niece to the spot where she heard the voices. Although Mhlakaza heard nothing, he became convinced that Nongqawuse was hearing the voice of her dead father, and that the instructions must be obeyed. Mhlakaza became the chief prophet and leader of the cattle-killing movement.
News of the prophecy spread rapidly, and within a few weeks the Xhosa king, Sarhili, became a convert. He ordered the Xhosa to slaughter their cattle and, in a symbolic act, killed his favorite ox. As the hysteria widened, other Xhosa began to have visions. Some saw shadows of the resurrected dead arising from the sea, standing in rushes on the river bank, or even floating in the air. Everywhere that people looked, they found evidence to support what they desperately wanted to be true.
The believers began their work in earnest. Vast amounts of grain were taken out of storage and scattered on the ground to rot. Cattle were killed so quickly and on such an immense scale that vultures could not entirely devour the rotting flesh. The ultimate number of cattle that the Xhosa slaughtered was 400,000. After killing their livestock, the Xhosa built new, larger kraals to hold the marvelous new beasts that they anticipated would rise out of the earth. The impetus of the movement became irresistible.
The resurrection of the dead was predicted to occur on the full moon of June, 1856. Nothing happened. The chief prophet of the cattle-killing movement, Mhlakaza, moved the date to the full moon of August. But again the prophecy was not fulfilled.
The cattle-killing movement now began to enter a final, deadly phase, which its own internal logic dictated as inevitable. The failure of the prophecies was blamed on the fact that the cattle-killing had not been completed. Most believers had retained a few cattle, chiefly consisting of milk cows that provided an immediate and continuous food supply. Worse yet, there was a minority community of skeptical non-believers who refused to kill their livestock.
The fall planting season came and went. Believers threw their spades into the rivers and did not sow a single seed in the ground. By December of 1856, the Xhosa began to feel the pangs of hunger. They scoured the fields and woods for berries and roots, and attempted to eat bark stripped from trees. Mhlakaza set a new date of December 11 for the fulfillment of the prophecy. When the anticipated event did not occur, unbelievers were blamed.
The resurrection was rescheduled yet again for February 16, 1857, but the believers were again disappointed. Even this late, the average believer still had three or four head of livestock alive. The repeated failure of the prophecies could only mean that the Xhosa had failed to fulfill the necessary requirement of killing every last head of cattle. Now, they finally began to complete the killing process. Not only cattle were slaughtered, but also chickens and goats. Any viable means of sustenance had to be destroyed. Any cattle that might have escaped earlier killing were now slaughtered for food.
Serious famine began in late spring of 1857. All the food was gone. The starving population broke into stables and ate horse food. They gathered bones that had lay bleaching in the sun for years and tried to make soup. They ate grass. Maddened by hunger, some resorted to cannibalism. Weakened by starvation, family members often had to lay and watch dogs devour the corpses of their spouses and children. Those who did not die directly from hunger fell prey to disease. To the end, true believers never renounced their faith. They simply starved to death, blaming the failure of the prophecy on the doubts of non-believers.
By the end of 1858, the Xhosa population had dropped from 105,000 to 26,000. Forty to fifty-thousand people starved to death, and the rest migrated. With Xhosa civilization destroyed, the land was cleared for white settlement. The British found that those Xhosa who survived proved to be docile and useful servants. What the British Empire had been unable to accomplish in more than fifty years of aggressive colonialism, the Xhosa did to themselves in less than two years.
Western civilization now stands on the brink of repeating the experience of the Xhosa. Since the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the late eighteenth century, Europe and North America have enjoyed the greatest prosperity ever known on earth. Life expectancy has doubled. In a little more than two hundred years, every objective measure of human welfare has increased more than in all of previous human history.
But Western Civilization is coasting on an impetus provided by our ancestors. There is scarcely anyone alive in Europe or America today who believes in the superiority of Western society. Guilt and shame hang around our necks like millstones, dragging our emasculated culture to the verge of self-immolation. Whatever faults the British Empire-builders may have had, they were certain of themselves.
Our forefathers built a technological civilization based on energy provided by carbon-based fossil fuels. Without the inexpensive and reliable energy provided by coal, oil, and gas, our civilization would quickly collapse. The prophets of global warming now want us to do precisely that.
Like the prophet Mhlakaza, Al Gore promises that if we stop using carbon-based energy, new energy technologies will magically appear. The laws of physics and chemistry will be repealed by political will power. We will achieve prosperity by destroying the very means by which prosperity is created.
While Western Civilization sits confused, crippled with self-doubt and guilt, the Chinese are rapidly building an energy-intensive technological civilization. They have 2,000 coal-fired power plants, and are currently constructing new ones at the rate of one a week. In China, more people believe in free-market economics than in the US. Our Asian friends are about to be nominated by history as the new torchbearers of human progress.
poiuytr, a comment please. Thank you.
Apparently nobody at the Federal Reserve has any clue where the trillions of dollars that have come from the Fed's expanded balance sheet have gone.
Additionally, nobody there seems to have any idea what the losses on the Fed's $2 trillion portfolio really are.
As for the pittance of $9 trillion in Fed off-balance sheet transactions over the past 8 months, well, yeah, that's also somewhere out there... Just don't ask the Federal Reserve where.
Rep. Alan Grayson summarizes it best "I am shocked to find out that nobody at the Federal Reserve is keeping track of anything."
See video:
http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/05/federal-reserve-can-not-account-for-9.html
Also there is the small matter that the Pentagon could not account for Trillions either as previously reported on September 10 the day before 911 by War Criminal Rumsfeld.
So apparently there are Trillions and Trillions of slush funds to control the economy and narco democracies all over the world.

I am not poiuytr but here is my comment: your story is not documented by source or veracity.
The video above documents conditions but these are NOT self imposed. It is the consequence of the ZionWest rape.
Anon 18.11 - Your video is heart-stopping. Makes one think one can't let another day go by without fighting back in some way or other. Naturally it's down to ZionWest rape. The Xhosa civilisational suicide in 14:40 was no doubt engineered by the same rabid colonialists. Is David Deming's conclusion that west is also engaged in suicidal tactics valid to some extent or simply diversion?

RE: Death of a Civilization. Something similar to the Xhosa experiment is being carried out in Uganda presently at the instigation of white US churchment who constantly discourage Ugandans from doing any kind of work, the argument being the Lord will provide so no one needs to get anything done.

Death of Civilization: Zionism.
Death of Civilization: Zionism.
When I am better than you
When I can build a wall between me and you
Death of civilization when there is no justice
Zionism is a horror of an ideology. Allied with overweening west pride we have a deadly combination which has been torturing the world for several centuries now. But the basis of it all is plain stupidity, the stupidity of feeling eternally superior, the stupidity of greed, the stupidity of brutality and inhumanity. In that sense, yes, where zionism takes over, civilization must prepare to die.
Moscow warns of future energy wars (Al Jazeera) - 14.5.09
Russia, the world's biggest gas producer, believes conflicts could arise over resources
Russia has warned that military conflicts over energy resources could erupt along its borders in the near future, as the race to secure oil and gas reserves gains momentum.
A Kremlin policy paper, which maps out Russia's main challenges to national security for the next decade, said "problems that involve the use of military force cannot be excluded" in competition for resources.
The National Security Strategy's release coincides with a deadline for countries around the world to submit sea bed ownership claims to a United Nations commission, including for the resource-rich Arctic.
The paper, signed off by Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, says international relations in the next 10 years will be shaped by battles over energy reserves.
Russia views United States and NATO as top security threats
Moscow anticipates conflict over energy in Middle East, Arctic and Central Asia
MOSCOW: Russia views the United States and NATO as major threats to global security and potentially to its own military, according to a sweeping new security document unveiled by the Kremlin on Wednesday.
The document, outlining Russia’s national security strategy through 2020, reflected continuing fears of old Cold War foes but also said Moscow would pursue a “rational and pragmatic” foreign policy and avoid a new arms race. The 13-page document was posted on the Kremlin website on Wednesday, one day after being approved by President Dmitry Medvedev and following months of discussion among Russia’s top security officials.
“The instability of the existing global and regional architecture, oriented, especially in the Euro-Atlantic region, only toward NATO... is an increasing threat to the guaranteeing of international security,” it said. The document stressed the “inacceptability” of NATO expansion to include countries bordering Russia, an apparent reference to Ukraine and Georgia, former Soviet republics which have sought to join the alliance. It also criticised a US plan to deploy elements of a global missile shield in Eastern Europe, which has infuriated Russia.
It is not enough for Russia to feel infuriated. The time has come for Russia to throw off the last vestiges of western glamour and act. Passive resistance alone will not do it.
Pipelinestan Wars - Pepe Escobar - 14.5.09
Yep, it all comes down to black gold and "blue gold" (natural gas), hydrocarbon wealth beyond compare, and so it's time to trek back to that ever-flowing wonderland - Pipelineistan. It's time to dust off the acronyms, especially the SCO or Shanghai Cooperative Organization, the Asian response to NATO, and learn a few new ones like IPI and TAPI. Above all, it's time to check out the most recent moves on the giant chessboard of Eurasia, where Washington wants to be a crucial, if not dominant, player.
We've already seen Pipelineistan wars in Kosovo and Georgia, and we've followed Washington's favorite pipeline, the BTC, which was supposed to tilt the flow of energy westward, sending oil coursing past both Iran and Russia. Things didn't quite turn out that way, but we've got to move on, the New Great Game never stops. Now, it's time to grasp just what the Asian Energy Security Grid is all about, visit a surreal natural gas republic, and understand why that Grid is so deeply implicated in the Af-Pak war.
Every time I've visited Iran, energy analysts stress the total "interdependence of Asia and Persian Gulf geo-ecopolitics". What they mean is the ultimate importance to various great and regional powers of Asian integration via a sprawling mass of energy pipelines that will someday, somehow, link the Persian Gulf, Central Asia, South Asia, Russia and China. The major Iranian card in the Asian integration game is the gigantic South Pars natural gas field (which Iran shares with Qatar). It is estimated to hold at least 9% of the world's proven natural gas reserves.
As much as Washington may live in perpetual denial, Russia and Iran together control roughly 20% of the world's oil reserves and nearly 50% of its gas reserves. Think about that for a moment. It's little wonder that, for the leadership of both countries as well as China's, the idea of Asian integration, of the Grid, is sacrosanct.
If it ever gets built, a major node on that Grid will surely be the prospective US$7.6 billion Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) pipeline, also known as the "peace pipeline". After years of wrangling, a nearly miraculous agreement for its construction was initialed in 2008. At least in this rare case, both Pakistan and India stood shoulder to shoulder in rejecting relentless pressure from the Bush administration to scotch the deal. (For more, see Asia Times)

Beijing wizardry does the trick
By Olivia Chung - 14.5.09
HONG KONG - China's shares, which have led this year's global stock rally, continued their remarkable gains on Wednesday after the government announced that industrial output climbed 7.3% in April from a year earlier.
Never mind that the output gain was less than economists had expected, and was down from the 8.3% year-on-year increase in March. Rather, be amazed that so much more was produced even as the country's power output declined 3.5% in April, more than double the pace of the 1.3% power output fall in March.
Output also surged even as exports collapsed more than 22% in April and after overseas investment in the country slumped for a sixth month in March to be down about 21% in the first quarter from a year earlier.
Millions of Chinese workers have been thrown out of work as US and European consumers of China-made goods rein in spending; the number of jobless could be less than 5% - or almost 10%. But whatever it is, the wizards of Beijing, it seems, are successfully transforming the economy with barely a hitch from one that is dependent on overseas sales to one thriving on domestic demand.
The alchemy alleged to be doing the trick is the government's 4 trillion yuan (US$570 billion) economic stimulus package announced in November, with big-ticket items such as railroads and other infrastructure projects featuring strongly.
To be taken with a good dose of health-inducing scepticism. But even so a success story.

Delays in Afghanistan supply chain
By: ananova on: 14.05.2009
UK Ministry of Defence is still struggling to get essential equipment to troops on the front line in Afghanistan on time, the Whitehall spending watchdog has warned.
The National Audit Office said despite improvements in the supply chain, fewer than two-thirds of consignments were reaching units within the allotted time.
While much of the extra equipment acquired through the urgent operational requirements system had worked well, there had been problems - particularly with the Vector armoured vehicle.
Defence Secretary John Hutton told the Commons Defence Committee last month that Vector, brought in to replace lightly armoured Snatch Land Rovers, is now being withdrawn because of unspecified "mechanical and technical issues".
The NAO said that the reliability of the vehicle's suspension and wheel hubs had proved "poor", it had limited under-belly armour to protect it from roadside bombs, and spares had been in short supply.
Commanders were now having to turn back to an upgraded version of the Snatch, known as the Snatch Vixen, which had been fitted with additional armour. Another vehicle, the Mastiff which was originally acquired primarily for on-road use on operations in Iraq, suffered when it was switched to off-road missions in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan.
Edward Leigh, the chairman of the Commons Public Accounts Committee which oversees the work of the NAO, said that he found it "surprising" that the MoD still had not sorted out the problems with the supply chain. He said that it was a "woeful state of affairs" when commanders lost confidence in a new vehicle like the Vector so quickly.
"Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are giving their all, but they don't always have what they need to get the job done," he said.
OK. let's get serious, let's talk about the war.
What is the "JOB"?
To slaughter more people?
To steal more resources?
OR TO ENSLAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL LEFT ALIVE?

Bubble To End All Bubbles
By Gerald Celente 5-14-9
KINGSTON, NY -- The biggest financial bubble in history is being inflated in plain sight, said Gerald Celente, Director of The Trends Research Institute. "This is the Mother of All Bubbles, and when it explodes," Celente warns, "it will signal the end to the boom/bust cycle that has characterized economic activity throughout the developed world."
Either unwilling or unable to call the bubble by its proper name, the media, Washington and Wall Street describe the stupendous government expenditures on rescue packages, stimulus plans, buyouts and takeovers as emergency measures needed to salvage the severely damaged economy.
"All of this terminology is econo-jargon," said Celente. "It's like calling torture 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' Washington is inflating the biggest bubble ever: the 'Bailout Bubble.' "This is much bigger than the Dot-com and Real Estate bubbles which hit speculators, investors and financiers the hardest. However destructive the effects of these busts on employment, savings and productivity, the Free Market Capitalist framework was left intact. But when the 'Bailout Bubble' explodes, the system goes with it."
The economic framework of the United States has been restructured. Federal interventionist policies have given the government equity stakes, executive powers and management control of what was once private enterprise. To finance these buyouts, rescue and stimulus packages -- instead of letting failed businesses fail and bankrupt banks and bandit brokerages go bankrupt -- trillions of dollars are being injected into the stricken economy.
Phantom dollars, printed out of thin air, backed by nothing ... and producing next to nothing ... defines the "Bailout Bubble." Just as with the other bubbles, so too will this one burst. But unlike Dot-com and Real Estate, when the "Bailout Bubble" pops, neither the President nor the Federal Reserve will have the fiscal fixes or monetary policies available to inflate another.
With no more massive economic bubbles left to blow up, they'll set their sights on bigger targets. "Given the pattern of governments to parlay egregious failures into mega-failures, the classic trend they follow, when all else fails, is to take their nation to war," observed Celente.
Since the "Bailout Bubble" is neither called nor recognized as a bubble, its sudden and spectacular explosion will create chaos. A panicked public will readily accept any Washington/Wall Street/Main Stream Media alibi that shifts the blame for the catastrophe away from the policy makers and onto some scapegoat.
"At this time we are not forecasting a war. However, the trends in play are ominous," Celente concluded. "While we cannot pinpoint precisely when the 'Bailout Bubble' will burst, we are certain it will. When it does, it should be understood that a major war could follow."
Whom are they going to attack now?
The War in Sudan By: Roqayah (14.5.09)
Sudan is the largest country in Africa and tenth largest country in the world by land area. It is a predominately Arab country in northeastern Africa. It could also be considered to be in the Middle East—its Red Sea coast is not far from Mecca. Sudan is bounded to the north by Egypt, to the east by the Red Sea, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, to the south by Congo, Uganda and Kenya, to the west by Chad and the Central African Republic, and to the northwest by Libya.
Is this the new candidate for all out war? And with what weapons?
12:13 -- west challenge
right, not that west doesn't produce scientific advances but all of it is used to further west's dominance, which always leaves a trail dead bodies.
while people used language to communicate ideas, it took west to use the same language skills to conceal them. 300AD, we have west conspiracy/collusion and in a single meeting they produced pile of garbage , wiped out all ancient records, and perverted, to suit their agenda, all humankind history. the product's known as the bible.
early 20th century, the world had discovered quantum physics, being able to see behaviour on a smaller scale than just pelting around rocks and bullets, and realised that it's quite different than what the newton bastards had canonised. (newton is a story in itself highlighting the west evil and deliberate pillage, theft, and crime in sciences) now, huge movement and advance was made into the world of electricity explaining tons of stuff. BUT BUT BUT!!!!
in the 30s come the west nazis and they deliberately annihilate this knowledge despite tangible proof, as given by Tesla and later by others such as Alfven (sp?). instead, they simply rub out Tesla. Brit encyclopedias with 40 volumes that stretch your entire office wall feature scumbags like einstein across 10-20 pages, while Tesla isn't so much as mentioned. this Dark Ages goes on to today. and more importantly, they hide the truth from people. again, like the bible hiding the record of human history under the censored talmudic-orgin bullshit. (there just can be any other word to describe the west "religion"), west physicist and scientists set out to hide the truth.
heizenberg tells us that you can't see atom. this guys signs letters with sieg heil and belongs to the west psycho group that thinks if they breed out non-saxon blood they'll regain demigod powers. not my spin! this is THEIR agenda and beliefs. and einstein is given credit for e=mc2 which isn't his and nobel prize for electromagnetic effect, which also isn't his but Plank. BTW, nobel prize is another pile of west inside job bullshit where they slap each other's backs in the sordid fix award sessions to the biggest scumbags they can find. the same goes for the west charade of peace prizes. they're squarely, as though the west is making fun of everyone, given to the biggest butchers typically.
anyway, so, after the 30s, the course of physics is derailed and destroyed. everything since is BS. dark matter, dark energy, quark and other subatomic particle zoo, is all nonsense created to answer holes they have in their filthy theories.
einstein is the chief scum here creating duality and other such nonsense and propounding big bang, which is west's accepted explanation of our origins. big bang is nothing more, of course, than the same old bible bullshit from 300AD, except in the words to please the scientifically inclined baboon. bible says god said let there be light and big bang says behold, there was light, in the 5th nanosecond following the big bang, subparticles interact to create photons which is what light is. all this is crap including the photons, einstein's favourite partical animal.
anyway, so.... the west always perverts, abuses everything that could be good for the planet, for people. ALWAYS! and always lies about it and defends the lies with violence and laws. i give you holocaust denial laws sweeping the freedom loving EU/Aussie/USA cesspits.
again, there's so much to be said on this... one day, i'll get me thoughts together and organise meself.
i should make clear that when i say "west" i don't mean every single dweller in the west. there are many many humans caught in the west cesspit hell. many don't get it, but there are many that do and are trying to change it, typically ending belly up someplace suicided with ten shots in the back of their heads.
when i say 'west' it's like they say 'econ shriveled x%'. that doesn't mean everyone is 4% poorer. it's just an aggregate that doesn't apply to anyone in particular. in fact, it just means that half a million are moving to tent cities while 10 ceo elite war scumbags get billions in free bonuses. same with my 'west'.
this doesn't mean then that there aren't smart humans in the west, all it means that the aggregate behaviour of the west is beyond sordid, beyond evil, beyond criminal.
i think that's the overall point of everything i try to say and NBNs: west is the disease. in every aspect, in every way, and deliberately its entire diseased existence.

17:40 -- Xhosa self wipe out
i've never heard of the tale of the prophet girl upon which the Southeast African famine was predicated.
what to comment? i don't for a second believe that it's self induced. ever! not even in the west very own cesspit.
this is classic west monopoly/globalisation. this is why they want it and why it's deadly to the planet and thus evil in every way.
some bastard in London can change the course of cash and thus affect the prices of say, fish in Alaska, and cause famine there. this is precisely what the EC/EU is after. they destroyed, by mandate, self propelled markets with a stroke of pen in Brussels. the best example is Czech Republic, which joined last and got rape even before it joined. its industries have been literary wiped out and the entire nation, like Poland, and everyone else, is dependent on a cash (IMF,WB, etc) dictate.
now, these are recent and thus more organised crimes to destroy and subjugate entire nations. Xhosa genocide was probably along the lines of some promise in exchange for food massacres. i buy that, but not that it's self induced. it's definitely driven by the christianic/royal euro scumbags.
christianity spread is nothing more than mindrape export from europe.
also, i object to words (don't take this personally, this is very general from me) like colony. that's like saying Abu Graib is a hotel. colonisation is an euphemism for land theft, enslavement, and genocide. equally, westernisation of people means nothing but total and complete rape.
the mighty continent of Africa, in particular, makes my heart bleed and blood boil. so many nations. so many beautiful and resource rich lands. so many hundreds of millions of people. all raped to beyond recognition by the west disease.
one day, i hope to finish my Africa files.
i object and am really sick of the west history spin on their "colonisation" efforts. see, this is like holocaust denial.
they arrest and torture people that deny german atrocities yet they themselves, the entire west, has canonised on a grand scale their west-wide denial of holocausts in Africa, South America, North America, Australia, Pacific islands/Polynesia. arrest and jail all west teachers, book writers, film makers, politicians, historians, anthropologists, news anchor whores, students if indeed holocaust denial is illegal in west.
i object to all west words, in fact. they misuse every word in every sentence. i object to all west historical accounts. west history is nothing but denial of west holocausts. i object to west's accounting accounts. they've managed to even pervert something clean like numbers. BTW, the numbers they use are Arabic and were used 3000 yrs before the west saxonic baltic scum could even produce more than howling barks. all that west learnt when they saw the marvel of mathematics was the word "gibbrish" when they saw al-gebra. i object to west's "accepted" versions of everything. i object to all things west. it's all rancid, deliberately sick, perverted, and incurably criminal.
i don't even believe west child murdering scum that needs taxpayers to pay for their chocolates and porn after they party on ranches where they shoot animals for fun, can sit on the toilette in the right direction.
therefore i celebrate west's fall off the cliff into the abyss with NBN collection of news that better than i could hope to do myself highlight and underscore the west glorious last days.
may the word spread and may the Freeworld learn the truth behind the word west.
Thanks for above, poiuytr, it goes into my own "poiuytr said" file. But actually, a comment was solicited not on the Xhosa story but on the last half of the article beginning "Western civilization now stands on the brink of repeating the experience of the Xhosa." Followed by self-praise, then "There is scarcely anyone alive in Europe or Am today who believes in the superiority of Western society". Followed by blah, blah, blah, etc. A pity that bit about global warming and cheap resources and China supremacy was not addressed.
Another thing with all due respect:
"also, i object to words (don't take this personally, this is very general from me) like colony. that's like saying Abu Graib is a hotel. colonisation is an euphemism for land theft, enslavement, and genocide. equally, westernisation of people means nothing but total and complete rape."
Obviously you don't come from a colonised nation. We who might consider the word "colonisation" the ugliest word in the language. It automatically covers land theft, enslavement, genocide, annihilation and has the advantage of being shorter than your version.

The big deal today is the Obama litany:
- Is Obama dancing with disaster? (between any two courses of action, he invariably chooses the wrong one).
- Obama changes stance on torture, military "abuse" photos and everything else besides (our much-respected Zigzag).
- Obama to revive Terror Tibunals.
- And best of all: Obama Increases Number of Prisons, Cops: 2010 US budget proposes $105mn for two new fedral prisons, $3bn for 50.000 more cops.
Gee, thanks Obama, We do not need jobs, health care, and schools, what we need is more prisons.
X here:Thought I'd add my own imperfect understanding to the debate:
The French fiddling about with their figures: 1.5% 1st quarter GDP contraction (also fictitious, of course) now becomes 1.2%. Further to note slum sheet Wall Street Journal claims econ recovery in US will take 3 to 5 years. Read that in the stars, they did.
Also striking: the mainstream plus (= so-called progressive blogs) had Russia as theme number one yesterday. Today the accents shifts and it becomes Obama day. Tomorrow we might well have Pakistan or Afghanistan day and on and on. Who decides? Do they all sit down and establish the news agenda for every day that passes?

For all of you who are dying to know (pun intended), I was about to detail what little the papers carry this morning about swine flu, things like 3 schools have shut down in New York owing to flu cases or Scotland has bought up enough drugs to cover the needs of their entire pop in case of the flu outbreak (delighting Rumsfeld's heart) or latest WHO pronoucement that not all flu patients need antiviral therapy, but still... when my eye was caught by the Pravda article below. Now, Pravda is a shit paper which occasionally says something interesting and Russia is to the best of my knowledge one of those countries which say they have no swine flu cases to report, so very interesting the whole thing.
World stands on the brink of biological war
Pravda May 14, 2009
News about swine flu epidemic has spread all over the world. The mutant virus continues to kill people. The number of victims will soon pass from tens to hundreds. Governments insistently advise their citizens to refrain from travelling to Mexico where the infection supposedly came from.
Quotes from Vanga’s prophecies about Third World War have grown popular in Russian blogs. “The war will begin in November 2010 and will end in October 2014. It will begin as a conventional war, then nuclear weapons will be used and then chemical weapons”, people repeat the words of the renowned fortune-teller.
An expert and political consultant Sergey Markelov who had been to secret laboratories in Latin America told Aif.ru in an exclusive interview which could be the reasons that made the virus appear and whether swine flu might be connected with biological weapons.
“There are two traditional versions for global infections to appear. The first one is a natural mutation of a virus, which takes place without the interference of man. The second one occurs when a virus appears as a result of the external factor, for instance, it may leak from secret laboratories.”
“How did swine flu appear, in your opinion?”
“As a doctor and a political scientist, I believe there was a leak from laboratories where biological weapons were developed. This will never be known for sure, but such laboratories were probably working on swine flu. Now this version is concealed.”
“What do you know about the development of biological weapons?”
“These weapons are being permanently developed, but we know barely a thing about it. The previous stage was a scandal over bird flu in China .”
“In which country can swine flu labs be located?”
“They could most likely be located in Mexico, where the CIA might be conducting its secret experiments. Mexico belongs to the group of Latin American states where many secret laboratories always existed.
“I have been there on a mission as a doctor. In the depths of the forest, there were thousands of laboratories. Many of them have become hotels now - I lived in such a hotel. We looked laboratories around, but it was not clear, whether scientists studied infections there.”
“What do these buildings look like?”
“On the outside they are completely made of wood, on the inside they are very well equipped. They are built on four or five-meter high hills. The buildings are completely adjusted for the jungle: they are protected against mosquitoes and wild animals.”
“How many people can work in one such laboratory?”
“About 30 or 40. I believe that experiments are carried out there on the animals that can be found in the country. It is unlikely that the test animals are delivered from abroad.”
“Can the news about the virus be spread in order to distract attention from the global crisis?”
“Yes, sure, from the point of view of the information war. The current world news is basically about either swine flu or the economic crisis.”

RE: 07:56
I note they just released prisoner percentages per state. The state of Georgia won out with 1 in 13 residents being in prison or on probation. In China it is 3 in 100,000. Here in this country (as seen in the county CAFRs) most of the counties have doubled the funding to the judiciary and prisons over the last few years. I guess the lemmings are getting restless and they are preparing to accommodate more of them that try to bite back or become resentful when sheared closer to the bone..
In case anyone's wondering who Vanga is she was a blind, semi-literate Bulgarian clairvoyant. Apparently Vanga predicted the Third World War would break out in 2010 as a result of attempts on the lives of 4 govt heads (this should have happened in 2008) and after a conflict in Hindustan. Her last prediction was the saviour of the world, probably the Eighth One, would come from Romania. Keep an eye open, folks.
Hey, Vanga, they say, predicted much much more. The end of the world is timed to occur in the year 5079 apparently.
She also predicted:
“Everything will melt away like ice yet the glory of Vladimir, the glory of Russia are the only things that will remain. Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world.”(1979)
- The prediction was made in Soviet times when just a few people were using the term “ Russia .” It remains to be seen which Vladimir Vanga referred to. There are three real candidates: The Prince Vladimir, Vladimir Lenin, the current president, or the future one…
Do you know what? The Vanga comments are like Sufi's comments. We gain solace from them. The brain tires easily and always desires to feed on the new. The spirit requires little to feel at peace.
6:46 -- "Western civilization now stands on the brink of repeating the experience of the Xhosa."
so i wrote all that for nothing then. LOL typical!
apologies for the drivel. i must be mad. i can't focus anymore. USA burnt that 8 yr old girl among the murdered in Afghanistan and issued an apology. her face's burnt off, head burt down to the bone. she's 8. and they issue a apology and pump 90B into more war. i'm truly exhausted...
to your point, somewhere i read a while back some comment that went like this: "OK, you know how to reboot your PC, download iPodcast, and burn a DVD but do you know how to plant something, how to till land, what a potato plant looks like, etc" if that's the question about west populace somehow being dumbed down into just sitting there accepting nonsense while all necessary skills are replaced by BS, yes, i think so. that was rockefeller's plan, wasn't it, back in the 50s?
but before i blither my usual rubbish, is that the question? if not, what is it?
but i don't agree with "There is scarcely anyone alive in Europe or Am today who believes in the superiority of Western society".
i don't think this is true. i think a vast majority of west thinks that west is some superman and most don't get anything. europe is different. it's far brighter than USA. USA is truly amazing mental cesspit that has no equal. the stupidity per square km there is unmatched anywhere else. but still, euros have this enormous racist fear, like all west of everything non-west and that makes them they're superiour. for example, it's hillary step, not tenzing's. that kind of thing. most westerners are clueless in my opinion in this regard and believe they're the strongest machine out there. they've been lied to too long.
in USA i think baboons are completely believing that USA is not only the strongest nation, richest, but even the biggest. baboons don't let reality interfere with their brain cell function.
if that wasn't the case, the 30M unemployed there would be in the streets, at least marching like the french, greeks, icelanders, estonians, etc.
as far as the words go...
look up 'westernisation'. that's a horrific word, you agree, i'm sure. but all it says is "converting to western style of life". but see, i've seen the holy roman empire conversion chambers and tools. the word convert is as diabolical as it gets. but i agree that to some, to those who have felt it, colonisation is akin to genocide.
but that's not the case in general english. that's what i object. not the experience you may have. that's evident and i agree. yes, westernisation is genocide. once you taste english, the language of criminals and liars, you know, but not before.
i object west saying that france colonised algeria while germans holocausted marxists. it should be either that france holocausted algeria and half Africa or germany colonised this and that. renaming the same evil crimes is bias, lies, mindraping, word bending...and that's precisely what west does 24/7. i object to that, not your knowing what 'colonisation' really means. and believe me i know that as well, thankfully only as a witness!
even the word freedom out of the west beast snout rhymes with death, WMDs, torture chambers, and concentration camps.
when obama says 'freedom coming' you better run cuz his war juggernaut is about to pounce on some village someplace and burn their children alive.

Remember Idi Amin? Remember how the west charged him with canibalisation and we swallowed the whole thing hook, line and sinker? Well, he chucked the Israelis out of Uganda, installed the Palestinians in their place and got his head cut off for his pains. Remember and regret.
Spain in severe economic doldrum - 15 May 2009
Latest official figures indicate that Spain's annual growth rate has plunged a record 7.2 percent, the worst since World War II.
The Spanish National Statistics Office published new financial data on Thursday, depicting a grim outlook for the country hit by the worst economic contraction in over fifty years.
The information shows that Spain's economy shrank by around 1.8 percent in the first quarter of 2009, which is equivalent to a rate of contraction of 7.2 percent annually.
The downturn was triggered by the significant drop in domestic demand and consumers' weakened purchasing power, further exacerbated by plummeting exports throughout 2008.
Estimates also suggest that Spain will not pull out in 2010 or soon afterwards, even though other EU economies might begin to recover. Economists warn that the worst is yet to come as early projections for 2011 foresee a sharp rise — around 30 percent — in the country's unemployment rate, which is already over 17.5 percent.
Financial experts say that the governments' 70 billion-Euro economic rescue package unveiled on Thursday will be insufficient to address the issues of the current recession.
12.28 Yes. I can't stop laughing at the ridiculous lies I believed. And it turns out that the whole Entebbe hijack and rescue saga was an inside job too. Everything is faked by the ZioWest.

Russia clinches deals to hasten Europe gas link - By Gleb Bryanski SOCHI, Russia, May 15 Russia signed deals with Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Italy on Friday to speed up the new South Stream gas link to Europe and rebuked the United States and former Soviet satellite states for backing a rival project.
Russia signed the deals, including a plan to double South Stream's capacity, as it bids to outpace the Western-backed Nabucco pipeline to bring gas from Central Asia and the Caspian to Europe and ease the continent's dependence on Russian gas. 'Activities around Nabucco are being initiated by politicians, most often from across the Atlantic, because it is a political not an economic project,' Russian gas export monopoly Gazprom said in a statement.
Russia is also in the process of signing an agreement with Azerbaijan to buy up its entire gas production. If this came to pass, it would be a mortal blow for the West. Azerbaijan and Turkey have fallen out over certain aspects of the Nabucco deal.
Further to 19.21. Here is Idi Amin in his own words (scroll down):

The world marks on May 15 the “Nakba Day,” when Israel was created on the rubble of their country.
On April 18, 1948, Palestinian Tiberius was captured by Menachem Begin’s Irgun militant group, putting its 5,500 Palestinian residents in flight. On April 22, Haifa fell to the Zionist militants and 70,000 Palestinians fled.
On April 25, Irgun began bombarding civilian sectors of Jaffa, terrifying the 750,000 inhabitants into panicky flight.
On May 14, the day before the creation of Israel, Jaffa completely surrendered to the much better-equipped Zionist militants and only about 4,500 of its population remained.
Day of unending sorrow and distress. O, day of the ultimate catastrophe.
Yes, informatron, it is fitting on Nakba Day that we remember a friend of the Palestinians such as Idi Amin. The video you recommended was extraordinary. I'm very grateful. As for the similarity of views between President Ahmedinejad and poiuytr: comme les grands esprits se rencontrent! I, personally, am deeply devoted to both of them because they are persons of vision, courage and integrity. God bless them both and Idi Amin, the victim of incredible lies, as well. God bless the people of Palestine.
Does Obama Want ‘Hitler’ to Win Reelection?
by William Wedin, May 16, 2009
In case you haven’t heard, the Iranian “Hitler,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is up for reelection in June. And you would think that nothing could possibly be more important on the international front than defeating “Hitler” at the ballot box. Isn’t he “Hitler,” after all? And not just any old “Hitler” – the way, say, Muammar al-Gaddafi and Manuel Noriega and Saddam Hussein were seen as “Hitlers” in their day. No, Ahmadinejad is treated as the worst of all the “Hitlers.” Namely, a “Hitler” who has openly, sort of, said that he wants to “wipe Israel off the map” (or so the gross misquotation goes) as soon as his mad Muslim minions can develop a nuclear warhead and a missile to deliver it. That is why Israel is talking about launching a preemptive strike against this “Hitler’s” nuclear strikes, is it not?
So you would think that the White House and the American press would be moving heaven and earth to support a reformist candidate like former Prime Minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi right now if it means denying “Hitler” four more years to advance his alleged “plan.” And there is an actual chance that Mousavi could beat him. For Ahmadinejad has been as “conservatively” stupid about the economy as any Bush-wannabe can. And Iranian voters are very unhappy about their falling standard of living (being American consumers at heart).
So you would think… But wait! Stop for a second. This all sounds too weird. If “Hitler” is “Hitler,” how can there be an election? How can the outcome be in doubt?
That is precisely the point. That is why we are hearing nothing about the approaching election coming out of the White House. That is why there is not a word about it in the corrupt corporate press. If Ahmadinejad really were a “Hitler,” there would be no election. There would be no campaigning. There would be no last-minute efforts to win over Iranian voters. If the man were another “Hitler,” his political opponents would be shot on the spot.
Watch any speech or interview with Ahmadinejad and judge for yourself. Where Hitler was fiery, Ahmadinejad is flat. Where Hitler was brilliant, Ahmadinejad is bland. Where Hitler was strident, Ahmadinejad is soft. Where Hitler was militant, Ahmadinejad is mousy. The only way he can be made to sound like Hitler is by dubbing Hitler over him.
And even then there is no way to make him look like der Führer. Take that photo of Ahmadinejad beneath the image of Ayatollah Khamenei below. How do you Photoshop that guy into Hitler? Even a new Saddam? Ahmadinejad doesn’t have a uniform on because he doesn’t own one. Or a necktie either. (In Iranian society neckties are considered a sign of sinful pride. What? A “Hitler” who piously rejects pride?) And as for that face. With those upturned eyebrows – he looks a dachshund pleading to pee. No Führer he.
Indeed, when it comes to matters of war and peace, the president of Iran has as much power as Nancy Pelosi. That is, none. Nada. Zero. Zilch. He’s not the commander in chief. Not in a nation “under God” like Iran. No, that authority is invested in the white-bearded man with the smiling eyes behind him, Ayatollah Khamenei. Khamenei is the supreme leader of Iran, just as the title implies. He and he alone is the supreme leader in all things temporal and spiritual in Iran. He is like the pope and the U.S. president all in one. And he has held that position since 1989.
So how come most Americans have never heard of him? Because it is hard for even Fox News to demonize a supreme leader who has been in power all that time and has never, ever once attacked or threatened to attack any nation. No, not one. And to my knowledge, no nation has ever claimed that he has. Occasionally the corrupt corporate media will sweep him up in some sweeping reference to the “evil ayatollahs” who supposedly rule Iran with an iron hand. But mostly the pro-war propagandists prefer to leave Khamenei out of the script. He just doesn’t “fit.” He looks too much like a wise old rabbi to portray him as Evil Incarnate, Evil Unrestrained. Just think of how long he’s been in power – without one wild word out of the man. That shows both discipline and discretion.
Which brings us back to my original question. Namely, why the stony silence from the White House and the corrupt corporate media around the pending election if supporting a reformist presidential candidate like former prime minister Mir-Hossein Mousavi would deny “Hitler” another term? To do what exactly? Fabricate a crude nuclear device and lob it toward Israel on an equally crude missile? With the blessing of the supreme protector of the Iranian people? While the United States and Israel passively watch the preparations for the next Holocaust go forward?
Are what about the peaceful people of Iran? Would the corrupt corporate media have us believe that Iranians want nothing more from life than collective suicide? For with at least three of its own nuclear-armed submarines patrolling off the coast of Iran (never mind American backup), Israel could easily turn Iran into a sea of molten glass before that first crude Iranian missile even cleared the launch pad.
Yet the Obama administration has no interest in preventing “Hitler’s” reelection? And the current Israeli government doesn’t either?
Had Obama made friendlier signs sooner, former president Mohammad Khatami might not have dropped out of the race. And just who is Khatami? As seen below, he is a pro-women’s rights, pro-Christian rights, pro-Jewish rights reformer, who sought greater personal freedom for his fellow Iranians at home and greater cooperation with the West abroad during his two terms as president of Iran from 1997 to 2005, when he was succeeded by Ahmadinejad.
So why would the White House not want such a good guy back? Why wouldn’t Israel? According to Colin Powell’s chief of staff, Larry Wilkerson, Khatami was instrumental, among other good things, in gaining the supreme leader’s approval after 9/11 to use Iran’s many strong ties in Afghanistan to help overthrow the Taliban. Yet Bush blew off all that help Iran had just given, and, instead, made it a charter member of the “Axis of Evil” in his 2002 State of the Union address – only five months later. How come?
And then we come to Obama, who won the White House on a campaign of “Change!” But there has been no change from the Bush administration when it comes to publicly supporting the reformist candidates in the Iranian presidential race. And now Khatami has dropped out. Is that what Clinton and Obama wanted?
It’s hard to believe. And yet we see the pattern of American administrations undermining homegrown Iranian reformers repeated over and over. As when “Hitler” was running for president the first time around. And Bush held a news conference the day before the ballot – where he essentially told the Iranian people that the election was “rigged” in favor of the conservatives, and that those who wanted real reform might as well stay home. And, of course, Ahmadinejad – who portrayed himself as a Muslim “compassionate conservative” – won. I won’t say because of Bush. But then again perhaps the Iranian people figured that if there was one thing Bush might know about, it clearly would be rigged elections.
So what’s the explanation then? What’s the explanation now? Why let “Hitler” win then? Why let “Hitler” win reelection now? Is Obama another Hindenburg? Is Netanyahu another Chamberlain? Has Bibi been imbibing arugula salads too? Where have these men’s animal spirits gone to boldly meddle in other nations’ affairs?
We’ll have to see. But I would put a bailout’s worth of money on the possibility that both men are merely waiting quietly for Ahmadinejad to win reelection before they start beating their war drums again about the need to stop this “Hitler” militarily. Is that too cynical? To think that Obama would raise our hopes that our policy toward Iran is in the process of change, only to turn around and embrace continuity with the Bush administration – once a crucial election is past. That would be downright Clintonian.
The usual US hubris but cast in a funny mode, with a few jewels embedded. As political comemntary, however, it's nada, zilch. I prefer Baba Vanga's predictions above.
Our daily fare: war and economic contraction. For instance: Europe suffers its worst recession since World War Two: Germany's economy shrank by 3.8pc in the first three months of the year - a record contraction that is almost double the fall of Britain's gross domestic product in the first quarter. The figures sparked attacks on Germany's government, which has repeatedly shown reluctance to bail out either its economy or financial system. In figures described by economists as "disastrous", Eurostat also reported that Italy shrank by 2.4pc, Austria and the Netherlands by 2.8pc, Spain by 1.8pc and France by 1.2pc. The statistics underline the fact that although Britain's financial system was badly hit in the early months of the crisis, the UK's economy has not fared as badly as its continental rivals, contracting by 1.9pc in the first quarter.
As for wars: Iraqi busy with its rockets against bases, Afghan resistance bringing down the invaders one by one. Pakistan fighting off its Mossad-CIA-India mix. And Africa busy with its own low-key fighting. Hope Vanga is right and the fighting comes soon to the people who caused it all.
UK soldier killed in Afghanistan announces the BBC (15.5.09). Text states: A total of 159 British troops have died in operations in Afghanistan since 2001 (LIE ONE).
A British soldier was killed in an explosion in Afghanistan on Thursday, the Ministry of Defence has said. The soldier, from The Royal Marines Armoured Support Group, was killed while travelling in a Viking vehicle near Lashkar Gah, in Helmand province. (LIE TWO)
He is the sixth soldier to die in Afghanistan in eight days. (LIE THREE) Lt Col Nick Richardson, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "We are numb with grief at this loss of a noble marine, who served his country for the good of the Afghan people. He will always be remembered as a true hero." (LIES THREE (noble), FOUR (good of the Afghan people), FIVE (true hero).
Informed Comment: What a bunch of crap. He would not be travelling in the Viking alone! What happened to the other five guys? They never stop lying! "Noble marine" my arse. He probably killed 20 civilians the day before he expired (but only for the good of the Afghan people, hence his "nobility").
Sorry, got a bit confused. That should have been LIES FOUR, FIVE AND SIX. And all of it in one short item.
They invade, bomb towns and villages, kill, kill, kill, then say it is for the good of the people? Where do they get this mind-set crap from? In military school?
and the sheeple believe them.
RE: German Economy
Reality in Germany - Again yesterday in the state capital nearby where I live went by and looked into that Opel i.e. GM car dealer's store. Not a single customer in or out. All shining new Chevrolets and Opels. No one wants one.
But why not? I don't understand. Unemployment is still in a mild phase.
And oil prices haven't been excessive for months. Are we missing something? Yes, the reality is:
"Weimar II Republic" is coming soon! The USA Failed State & Economy will soon morph into the new Weimar II Republic, and millions of Americans will have to shovel barrows of paper Dollars in order to buy a loaf of bread!
India; Congress claims victory at polls. So now Gandhi, that is Sonya the barmaid, can push through reforms. Crap all of it. The start of another period of torture for the people of India more like it.
Here we go again. Chad launches a fresh raid on Sudan. Will Africa ever be left in peace to go it their own way?
Sri Lanka President declares victory in 25-year old civil war and defeat of Tamil Tigers. If defeat, then honourable defeat, we hope.
Could someone explain Sri Lanka in simple terms? Who are the good guys?
No shame for ignorant,
informatron
I went up and had a quick look at poiuytr's very well-expressed view on Sri Lanka in NBN (11.5.09). Right. So now Sri Lanka has openly become the latest pawn in the US Great Game. Good. I think everyone must be in favour of a 25-year old civil war coming to an end. On the other hand, the way the final phase was carried out involved too many atrocities (bombing hospitals and civilian camps is no form of warfare one can consider honourable)to make this victory in any sense a "glorious" one. If war there must be, it must be conducted with a modicum of decency and the defeated must be allowed to leave the battlefield with their self-respect intact. The Muslim warriors in olden days were past masters at this kind of fighting. Today it's just one war crime after the other, and Sri Lanka is no exception. So, tonight, with a heavy heart, we must say the Tamils are the good guys (though they were a bunch of cut-throats too at times) and the government troops have shamed themselves.
X here: Hey poiuytr, have a look at this one. Right up your street, I'd say. Shit happens, what!

The Case of the Missing H-Bomb: The Pentagon Has Lost the Mother of All Weapons
'Things go missing. It's to be expected. Even at the Pentagon. Last October, the Pentagon's inspector general reported that the military's accountants had misplaced a destroyer, several tanks and armored personnel carriers, hundreds of machine guns, rounds of ammo, grenade launchers and some surface-to-air missiles. In all, nearly $8 billion in weapons were AWOL.
Those anomalies are bad enough. But what's truly chilling is the fact that the Pentagon has lost track of the mother of all weapons, a hydrogen bomb. The thermonuclear weapon, designed to incinerate Moscow, has been sitting somewhere off the coast of Savannah, Georgia for the past 40 years. The Air Force has gone to greater lengths to conceal the mishap than to locate the bomb and secure it.'
(David Icke Blog)
X
News of the world dull as ditchwater. Except for X's misplaced bomb, of course, and also the Bilderberg reporting which claims the greats of this planet are hoping to achieve their one govt by appointing the WHO to be in charge of "world" health care, the IMF to handle world finances which now can include a basket of currencies as China suggested. Also Obama has finally acknowledged that US can't simply keep borrowing from world giant China. They must also get off their hands. All well and good, except that a withered tree can no longer produce fruit.
Tamil Tigers 'silence their guns' after Sri Lankan president claims victory
Tamil Tiger rebels said they would 'silence their guns' after the Sri Lankan president claimed victory and civilians fled the enclave held by the separatists.
Talk of mass suicides of Tamils and a lot of crowing on the part of Sri Lanka president.
It is said China contributed decisively to the victory of the Sri Lankan government forces. Perhaps China is losing patience at long last and we can expect other wars also to end over the coming months.
May 17, 09 - The week Britain turned its anger on politicians

Sheeple waking up? Is it possible? Can we count on the Brits?
Don't kid yourselves! Human beings are a flawed species. Not only don't they stand up for their rights, they are often complicit in the crimes of their governments. Many "good Western people" are very open to manipulation.
A psychological experiment that has been repeated over and over again since the 1960s shows that about 70% of random civilised Western people, under controlled conditions, would administer fatal electric shocks to a complete stranger who had done no wrong, just because someone in authority told them to do so.
The Germsn citizens, the most sheeple of all sheeple apparently, were brainwashed in the 1930s. Now it's the turn of British (or US) - citizens to do nothing or do the wrong thing because they so worship authority.
22.13 Thank you for the cryptic reply. I am still in the dark: Are Tamils good or bad?
For heaven's sake, Anon 21:46. As good or bad as you or I. They had grandiose plans of carving out a new place for themselves. They worked hard and single-mindedly, taught the world a few lessons of courage and discipline, spread round the world. Look round where you live, you'll come across a few no doubt. Then hubris caught up with them, the almost-exclusive dependence on violence as the means to achieve their goals no longer worked, their luck ran out (a bit like the ill-fated Huns in some post above, eh?), their main ally India, no doubt under Israeli influence, refused further aid and now we all attend the funeral of the once-famed Tamil Tigers. Or at least we do who felt something for them. How come you profess ignorance? Indifference more like, I suppose. Not one of the more glamourous of war theatres, perhaps?
And once, in the eighties, I think, they were allied with the Palestinians, another people in dire straits, using plain resilience and bravery as the coin of the realm, while awaiting their final liberation.
Asia will author its own destruction if it triggers a crisis over US bonds
Japan beware, crashes have a habit of bringing regime change - By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
18 May 2009
Japan's last stand? Et tu Tokyo? If Washington is counting on Japan to act as last-resort buyer of US dollar bonds, it may have to think again. Masaharu Nakagawa, finance chief of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), told the BBC that his country should not purchase any more US debt unless issued in yen as "Samurai" bonds, akin to "Carter bonds" in 1978.
Remember him? Poiuytr used to make fun of him in the past, though he's not the worst of the econ commentators. It's not him and his spin that's important, it's the news that even lapdog Japan is scrambling off that lumpy US lap.
A revolution in the UK? (17.5.09 - WRH)
Two in five say they will refuse to vote or select one of the minor parties, such as the Greens or Ukip, rather than support the Tories, Labour or the Liberal Democrats, a ComRes poll shows.
So that's what they call a revolution in UK? Also to remember all purblind politicians are corrupt, in every country in the world. And perhaps the most corrupt of the lot, the EU parliamentarians, are now lining up for election and re-election.
LTTE head 'killed' fleeing war zone (18.5.09)
The body of the leader of Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger separatists has been found in an ambulance destroyed by troops as it sped out of the war zone, military sources have said.
The news came hours after the military said it had found the bodies of four Tamil Tigers, including that of the son of Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
A military source speaking on condition of anoymity said on Monday: "It was confirmed Prabhakaran was killed when trying to flee in an ambulance before dawn. We are waiting for the official announcement by the president."
State TV broadcast images of the corpse of 24-year-old Charles Anthony, Prabhakaran's son and heir apparent, on Monday.
The senior LTTE officials found dead include Balasingham Nadesan, the head of the political wing, Seevaratnam Puleedevan, and S Ramesh, the separatists' eastern leader, Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, a military spokesman, said.
There has been no comment from the LTTE on the latest claims. (Al Jazeera)

Thousands of Criminal Suspects to be Tried in Virtual Courts
'Thousands of criminal suspects will lose the right to appear in court and be brought instead before “virtual” courts conducted via video links under plans before Parliament next week. Within hours of being charged, defendants — even those accused of murder or rape — will have their first “cyber” hearings from a police station. They may be bailed or remanded in custody or, in the case of guilty pleas to less serious offences such as shoplifting, be sentenced and punished.'
There goes whatever remained of the judicial system.
May18, 09 - 'US special squad killed Benazir'
Former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on the orders of the special death squad formed by former US vice-president Dick Cheney, which had already killed the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafique Al Hariri and the army chief of that country.
The squad was headed by General Stanley McChrystal, the newly-appointed commander of US army in Afghanistan. It was disclosed by reputed US journalist Seymour Hersh while talking to an Arab TV in an interview.
Hersh said former US vice-president Cheney was the chief of the Joint Special Operation Command and he clear the way for the US by exterminating opponents through the unit and the CIA. General Stanley was the in-charge of the unit.
Note that this assassination was covered with a "suicide" bombing, which if Hersh is correct means that Americans are behind some of these "suicide" bombs. (WRH)
What do you mean "some"? All would be more like it.
Election Scam going on. This time it's EU parliament in Strasbourg, minimum-work, maximum-perks 785 MPs to be voted in between 4-7 June, small parties apparently being courted. We're keeping our fingers crossed for France's very special anti-zionist party.
