| Something Stinks About Wikileaks |

Iraq War, "War on terror" |
| Since the dramatic release of a US military film of a US airborne shooting of unarmed journalists in Iraq, Wiki-Leaks has gained global notoreity and credibility as a daring website that releases sensitive material to the public from whistleblowers within various governments. |

| The New Geopolitical Importance of Lubmin |
| 10.07.10 08:51 |
European trends |
| In the postwar history of the Federal Republic, German Chancellors tend to disappear once they pursue political goals that deviate from the Washington global agenda too much. In the case of Gerhard Schroeder, it involved two unforgiveable “sins.” The first was his open opposition to the 2003 US invasion of Iraq. The second, far more serious strategically, was his negotiations with Russia’s Putin to bring a major new natural gas pipeline directly from Russia, bypassing then-hostile Poland, to Germany. Today the first section of that Nord Stream gas pipeline has reached the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal town of Lubmin on the Baltic Sea, making Lubmin into a geopolitical pivot for Europe and Russia. |

| Gulf Oil Spill ‘Could Go Years’ If Not Dealt With |

Americas on the move |
| The Obama Administration and senior BP officials are frantically working not to stop the world’s worst oil disaster, but to hide the true extent of the actual ecological catastrophe. Senior researchers tell us that the BP drilling hit one of the oil migration channels and that the leakage could continue for years unless decisive steps are undertaken, something that seems far from the present strategy. |

| Kyrgyzstan’s ‘Roza Revolution’ |

f.USSR |
| The remote Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan is what Britain’s Halford Mackinder might call a geopolitical ‘pivot’—a land that, owing to its geographical characteristics, holds a pivotal position in Great Power rivalries. |

| Who Judges the Judges: Reporters Without Borders seems to have a geopolitical agenda |
| 05.05.10 09:08 |
Americas on the move |
| An organization calling itself Reporters Without Borders (RWB; French: Reporters sans frontières, or RSF), has just named Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, China’s President Hu Jintao, Iran’s Mahmous Ahmadinejad, Kazakstan’s Nursultan Nazarbayev and Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko to their list of Forty Worst Predators of Press Freedom for 2010. Most significant about their list of “bad guys” is the geopolitical relation of those leaders and those countries to the current obvious “enemies list” of the US State Department. That is no accident as becomes clear when we look more closely at who funds |

f.USSR |
| On February 14 Ukraines Election Commission declared Viktor Yanukovych the winner in that embattled countrys Presidential runoff vote, defeating former Prime Minister and Orange Revolution instigator Yulia Tymoshenko. Contrary to the positive spin Washington is trying to put on the events, they mark the definitive death of Ukraines much-touted “Orange Revolution.“ |

Global Security |
| Microsoft founder and one of the world’s wealthiest men, Bill Gates, projects an image of a benign philanthropist using his billions via his (tax exempt) Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to tackle diseases, solve food shortages in Africa and alleviate poverty. In a recent conference in California, Gates reveals a less public agenda of his philanthropy—population reduction, otherwise known as eugenics. |

| Panic at the Fed or Back to Normalcy? |
| 24.02.10 02:33 |
Economics |
| The decision of the US Federal Reserve to raise its key interest rate was definitely not a sign of confidence in the US economic recovery or a signal that Fed policy is slowly returning to normal as claimed. It was rather a signal of panic over the weakness in US Government bond markets, the heart of the dollar financial system. |

| The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti |

Americas on the move |
| A former US President becomes UN Special Envoy to earthquake-stricken Haiti. A born-again neo-conservative US business wheeler-dealer preacher claims Haitians are condemned for making a literal ‘pact with the Devil.” Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Bolivian and French and Swiss rescue organizations accuse the US military of refusing landing rights to planes bearing necessary medicines and urgently needed potable water to the millions of Haitians stricken, injured and homeless. |

| WHO Scientists Corruption Scandals Appear Endemic |
| 11.01.10 20:05 |
Global Security |
| The much-touted threat of an H1N1 Pandemic flu fades in the mildest flu season on record, and governments are left sitting on millions of dollars of stocks of vaccines. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will begin an official investigation into evidence of scandalous corruption relationships in the new “Golden Triangle” of the global drugs industry—WHO, its scientific academic ‘advisors’ of SAGE, and the pharma drugs industry, yet new confirmations of the extent of official corruption are emerging. |

| Yemen: Behind Al-Qaeda Scenarios, a Geopolitical Chokepoint to Eurasia |
| 05.01.10 00:00 |
Middle East |
| On December 25 US authorities arrested a Nigerian named Abdulmutallab aboard a a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on charges of having tried to blow up the plane with smuggled explosives. Since then reports have been broadcast from CNN to the New York Times that he was “suspected” to have been trained on his terror mission in Yemen. What the world has been subjected to since is the emergence of a new target for the US “War on Terror,” namely a desolate state on the Arabian peninsula, Yemen. A closer look at the background suggests the Pentagon and US intelligence have a hidden agenda in Yemen. |

| WHO ‘Swine Flu Pope’ under investigation for gross conflict of interest |
| 08.12.09 23:22 |
Economics |
| The man with the nickname “Dr Flu”, Professor Albert Osterhaus, of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam Holland has been named by Dutch media researchers as the person at the center of the worldwide Swine Flu H1N1 Influenza A 2009 pandemic hysteria. Not only is Osterhaus the connecting person in an international network that has been described as the Pharma Mafia, he is THE key advisor to WHO on influenza and is intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in vaccines allegedly aimed at H1N1. |

| Are Ukraine Black Death Cases result of IMF Loans |
| 26.11.09 22:24 |
f.USSR |
| The Ukraine Government has declared a state of emergency and medical examiners describe results of autopsies on dead patients in chilling terms that recall the Black Death descriptions from the Fourteenth Century in Venice. While everyone is calling it “Swine Flu” and the WHO using it to spread their panic and untested vaccines, there is strong evidence that the deaths—almost all from pulmonary conditions—are from a rising incidence of Tuberculosis (TB). Now a Cambridge University study shows that there is a close correlation between rise in TB and the severe austerity measures that go with IMF loans. Are the Ukraine ‘Black Death’ cases the result of Ukraine’s IMF loans? |
