LinkedInRemember that geopolitical-economic realignment I've been talking about in the past few months? Well, apparently, the light bulb went on - well, it probably just flickered - in Hillary Rodham Clinton's cackling head. Here's an interesting article about her comments regarding the Chinese and Russian cores of that realignment at a recent summit meeting called "Friends of Syria": Clinton threatens Russia and China at “Friends of Syria” Meeting. Now, first off, we can immediately deduce a "law of 21st century geopolitics" from this article, and from the elite behavior: Law of Reverse … [Read more...]
CHINA, ARGENTINA, AND GEOPOLITICAL REALIGNMENT, PART TWO: THE “NATO” PERSPECTIVE
July 10, 2012 By
I put "NATO" in quotation marks because, as this little blog hopefully will show, NATO has transformed itself into the mechanism of maintaining Western power, and increasing that power over areas of the globe not originally a part of the conception which led to its formation. Let's recall what those two principle reasons were: (1) to present a united economic and military coalition against the forces of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw pact. It will be recalled that Mr. Gorbachev, during the period of the Soviet Union's and Warsaw pact's collapse, elicited a promise from the West that NATO … [Read more...]
RT TV: BRAZILIAN FARMERS SUE MONSANTO
June 28, 2012 By
As you know, one of the things I like to follow here from time to time is the subject of GMO foods and the various "agribusiness" giant corporations - an entity that I simply refer to here and in previous articles as the Bozos at Duponzanto - and the legal and downright intimidating tactics they have used via their cronies in various government agencies, and international organs and agencies, to force farmers to plant their "scientifically tested" products. As I've also noted here, a growing list of countries in Europe, including France, Hungary, Poland, and Germany, have banned come of … [Read more...]
WHILE EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT IRAN…MEANWHILE, IN SOUTH AMERICA…
April 6, 2012 By
Now, before we get started, right up front, I want you to read this, even though it's a couple of years old: Nuclear Proliferation in Latin America Is Brazil Developing the Bomb? Yes, you read that correctly, the CFR's Foreign Policy is spotlighting the next candidates for the bomb after Iran as being Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, Burma, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. Ok, fine, but as Der Spiegel also notes, Brazil, whose economy dwarfs that of neighbor Venezuela, has long mastered the entire nuclear fuel process and is in the process of building nuclear submarines. Now, don't get me … [Read more...]
IRAN, AND THORIUM
March 2, 2012 By
I am grateful to Mr. V.T. for bringing this important post of Gerald Celente to my attention, and it speaks volumes for itself, not only in terms of the prospects that he mentions, but also in terms of its political and geopolitical implications: How Iran Can Have Nuclear Power and the World Can Have Peace It is true that thorium is being pursued by China, Japan, Brazil and India as a reliable reactor fuel alternative to uranium. Celente's proposal is reasonable...and that's the problem, for by pointing out the thorium alternative, Celente is in fact pointing out the danger that everyone … [Read more...]
BRICS NATIONS IN TROUBLE? DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE DAILY BELL
October 14, 2011 By
I've talked quite a bit in some of these blogs about the BRICS nations - Brazil, Russia, India, and China - as being the up-and-coming economic and geopolitical bloc. Well, not so fast, says the Daily Bell: BRICs Begin to Crumble? The article is, of course, correct, as far as it goes. It is true that the Chinese economy suffers from all the problems of planned economies in general, there are empty cities, skyscrapers, and shoddy constructions. It is true that Brazil and India suffer from the same problems of central banking as the USA and the rest of the West. But I am bold to suggest … [Read more...]
CHINA AND JAPAN ARE SAYING THE PARTY’S OVER
August 29, 2011 By
Amid a week that brought an apparent end to the forty-plus reign of terror of Mohamar Qaddafi in Libya, and an unusually strong earthquake to Virginia felt throughout the eastern freeboard of the USA, and a hurricane threatening the same entire east coast, all of which in turn have fueled the usual internet speculations of artificially caused earthquakes and weather, China and Japan have quietly let the American Empire know that the party days are over, just as it has expanded itself into Libya and seems poised on the cusp of further adventurism in Syria and the Middle East: World leaders … [Read more...]
THE NEW BRICS IN THE WORLD ECONOMY
August 11, 2011 By
While we're considering the announced ambitions and attitudes of the Russian and Chinese space programs, let's put those into the wider context of the emergence of the so-called BRICS nations: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. While you keep in mind the ineptitude of the sock puppets in Congress and the White House, and the financial meltdown that the banksters and ratings houses of Wall Street put the USA and Europe into, consider the following article (and mind you, normally I don't go to Wikipedia as a source, save here the article is based largely on analyses and studies undertaken by … [Read more...]
GEOPOLITICAL REALIGNMENT ACCORDING TO PRAVDA
June 4, 2011 By
The last couple of days I've been commenting on the messages being sent via space announcements that the corporate elite that rules America, and its plans for unilateral global dominance ala a Brzezinksi-style vision (enunciated in the latter's The Grand Chessboard), is unraveling. I found this very intriguing, and scarcely velvet-gloved commentary, in the English language version of Russia's Pravda concerning Prime Minister Putin's Latin American visit, and thought it was worthwhile enough to share: Russia Boosts Relations with Latin America I hope you caught the two significant … [Read more...]
CHINA’S INFLUENCE IN LATIN AMERICA GROWS DEAL BY DEAL
May 31, 2011 By
As you've guessed by now, I've been watching Russia and China closely, and especially their relationships with South America, and I believe we're witnessing the unraveling of the American empire. Yesterday I commented on Russia's growing influence in South America, and today, I'd like to address China's. Consider the following articles: Deals Help China Expand Sway in Latin America China\'s Big Move Into Latin America Yesterday I mentioned that Brazil would be a country to watch and this is the reason why: The USA is no longer Brazil's largest trading partner, China is, and hence, … [Read more...]
