The American Taliban are coming

The American Taliban are coming.

“The age of the virtual jihadi nomad is a go. Forget the Osamas; now it’s the time for the Shahzads. Illegal, covert drone wars are bound to spawn – spin or no spin – a terrible, absurd and deadly string of blowback. Lookout, the American Taliban are coming. “

Bolivian President Evo Morales on President Obama: “I Can’t Believe a Black President Can Hold So Much Vengeance Against an Indian President”

Bolivian President Evo Morales on President Obama: “I Can’t Believe a Black President Can Hold So Much Vengeance Against an Indian President”

“And I continue to be convinced that cocaine and drug trafficking is an invention of the United States. And with that invention, they’ve been able to create this war against drug trafficking. Capitalism lives from war. Capitalism needs wars in order to sell its weaponry. So this is not an isolated drug issue. It goes to the very interests of capitalism. And on the pretext of fighting drugs, they establish military bases. It’s political control and domination that they want. It’s the new colonialism” (Evo Morales, President of Bolivia).

YouTube – Israel’s shock doctrine

YouTube – Israel’s shock doctrine

“Israel has become the fourth biggest exporter of arms in the world.  However, two of the three biggest exporters of arms in the world are already members of the OECD, so perhaps that is a sensitive topic for them to mention in their report, but, if you talk about military exports as proportion to the size of the economy, then Israel is the biggest exporter of weapons in the world.  That means that the Israeli business model — the business model of the Israeli economy you could say — is constant conflict.  Peace would not be good for the Israeli economy, at least for many large sections of the economy, and would have an immediate negative impact on Israeli exports”  (Shir Hever, Economist, Alternative Information Center).

Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Resurgence | STRATFOR

Kyrgyzstan and the Russian Resurgence | STRATFOR

“In the past few years, Russia has worked to roll back Western influence in the former Soviet sphere country by country. Moscow has scored a number of major successes in 2010. In January, Moscow signed a customs union agreement to economically reintegrate Russia with Kazakhstan and Belarus. Also in January, a pro-Russian government was elected in Ukraine. And now, a pro-Russian government has taken power in Kyrgyzstan.

The last of these countries is an important milestone for Moscow, given that Russia does not even border Kyrgyzstan. This indicates Moscow must be secure in its control of territory from the Russian core across the Central Asian Steppe.”

“Palestine’s long-standing tragedy, in particular, is an example in which the West took advantage of Jewish Zionism in order to transfer its original sin.  Israel, though a sacrificial lamb for its own survival, has ended up being the West’s advance sentry point imbedded in the Arab world” (Hwang Seok-young, “Changing Together While Resisting,” from Writing for Peace: Proceedings of the 2nd Seoul International Forum for Literature 2005).
