Yesterday I left off in this mini-series of analysis of the Cyprus crisis by pointing out that the quiet player in the whole affair was Germany. And I indicated that this was where, once again, we will indulge in high octane speculation. But first, I want you to consider carefully the following highly intriguing article about the affair from The Daily Bell: Was the EU Right About Cyprus? And then consider that Germany's and the IMF's (that would be Wall Street, folks) initial call was for a much sharper fleecing of Cypriots: Germany And IMF's Initial Deposit Haircut Demand: 40% Of … [Read more...]

The first factor we must recall is Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision a few years back to place a Russian naval base in Venezuela. This move, as I've noted elsewhere - The Byte Show for example - was met with nary a peep of protest from Washington, which had already committed itself to military adventures … [Read more...]
FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE…AND THE INEVITABLE REACTION
The following is a rather thoughtful article concerning the concept of "full spectrum dominance," the current hidden military and policy doctrine of the USA: Full Spectrum Dominance While I do not often visit this site, the article is a very revealing interpretation of recent events, if, albeit, a rather one-sided one. It is that one-sidedness that disturbs me, for we seem to be locked into the idea that the Anglo-American elite, the New World Order, or whatever one wishes to call "them," are omnipotent, omnicompetent, and that their plans are always destined to succeed.
