He has practically declared war on the President of the United States, the Leader of the Free World, the Supreme Protector of the Jewish State.
The next attache from DHS will have their work cut out for them.
In Mexico, escaped ‘El Chapo’ is folk hero no. 1
For many Mexicans, he is an unusual combination of Robin Hood and billionaire.
He fought the law, and he won. He beat what many Mexicans see as a corrupt and feckless governing class.
Ukraine Merges Nazis and Islamists
Exclusive: Ukraine’s post-coup regime is now melding neo-Nazi storm troopers with Islamic militants – called “brothers” of the hyper-violent Islamic State – stirring up a hellish “death squad” brew to kill ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, on Russia’s border, reports Robert Parry.
EXTRACT
So, the underlying message seems to be that it’s time for the American people and the European public to step up their financial and military support for a Ukrainian regime that has unleashed on ethnic Russians a combined force of Nazis, white supremacists and Islamic militants (considered “brothers” of the Islamic State).
Provocative piece on the Euro financial powers and the smaller countries that can't survive under the Euro straitjacket … Greece is only the first one to fall.
This Is Why The Euro Is Finished
It’s simple, the euro is finished. It won’t survive the unmitigated scandal that Greece has become. Greece is not the victim of its own profligacy, it’s the victim of a structure that makes it possible to unload the losses of the big countries’ failing financial systems onto the shoulders of the smaller. There’s no way Greece could win.
. . . . . . .
This currency that Greece is fighting so hard to be part of is in fact strangling it. The reason for this lies in the structure of the EMU. Which makes it impossible for individual countries to adapt to changing circumstances.
As this report spells out, “By 2030, Asia-Pacific countries will comprise nearly two-thirds of the global middle class, dwarfing the projected one-fifth for Europe and North America combined.” Along with climate change this is one of the great geopolitical meta-trends that will define the 21st century. In the U.S., one has to also add The Emerging White Minority Trend. And yet you will find barely a mention of this anywhere in corporate media. Why is that do you think? Austerity economics and deregulation have virtually destroyed the American middle class, certainly made it a shadow of its former self. In those European countries which embraced Austerity Economics a similar process has been going on. At the same time India, China, the Asia-Pacific nations, are creating a middle class that will dwarf its White counterpart. Power will shift. Our intransigence concerning climate change, means leadership will go elsewhere, and will increase the speed of this transfer. We are going into a different world. And because profit is our only cultural priority, we are doing it rather badly.
The problem is not Greece, the problem is in how the EU set up its finance and banking system. And yes, unless we get a serious reform going, the EU is likely to see economic collapse.
The U.S. And EU Will Collapse Regardless Of Economic ‘Contagion’
EXTRACT
Never forget this: The EU is in trouble not because of Greece, but because of forced supranational interdependency. The EU by all rights should not exist, nor should any centralized supranational single currency system.
The referendum is the opportunity for Greeks to reject EU-IMF-German bullying. Greeks must stand firm against EU-IMF-German bullying, and the rest of Europe must stand with them. . . . . . EU, is a Big Business lobby group, nothing more. Common standards, open borders, free trade, common currency, trans-European highways, are all there to benefit Big Business.
