US Plots Conquest of Venezuela in Wake of Chavez’ Death

Posted on by

 

“US corporate-financier funded think-tank, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), declared in its ‘post-Chávez checklist for US policymakers,’ that the US must move quickly to reorganize Venezuela according to US interests. In reality, AEI is talking about dismantling entirely the obstacles that have prevented the US and the corporate-financier interests that direct it from installing a client regime and extracting entirely Venezuela’s wealth. US military contractors and special forces had been caught operating in and around Venezuela. The US’ intentions of provoking bloodshed and regime change in Venezuela stretch back as far as 2002.”

Obama promised to close Guantánamo. Instead, he’s made it worse.

Posted on by

“The 44-year-old British resident and father of four has spent over 11 years incarcerated at Guantánamo despite being cleared for release as early as 2007. To this day never charged with a crime, Aamer is just one of hundreds of detainees who remain imprisoned in Guantánamo. Despite running on an explicit campaign promise to shut down the island prison which has become a symbol of the abuses of the ‘war on terror’, President Obama has continued to preside over its operation.  And by recent accounts, under his tenure, the conditions for prisoners there – from both a physical and legal standpoint – have become markedly worse.”

North Korea and the United States: Will the Real Aggressor Please Stand Down?

Posted on by

“This historical context results in North Korea taking the threats of the United States very seriously. It knows the US has been willing to kill large portions of its population throughout history and has seen what the US has done to other countries.  In 2003, Libya halted its program to build a nuclear bomb in an effort to mend its relations with the US.  Then last year Libya was overthrown in a US-supported war and its leader Moammar Gadhafi was brutally killed. While calling for a world without nuclear weapons, President Obama has instead continued Bush’s plan and  has increased the budget for nuclear weapons.”

Uh Oh: “US is Deeply Concerned About Developments in the Ukraine”

Posted on by

EPJ13

“The US can’t seem to stay out of anyone’s business, including countries right on the border with Russia. Here’s a  statement issued by the US State Department:  ‘The United States is deeply concerned by recent steps taken in Ukraine to remove Members of Parliament from the Rada. We note with particular concern efforts to deprive Serhiy Vlasenko, a Member of Parliament and defense counsel for former Prime Minister Tymoshenko, of his seat in Parliament, his corresponding immunity from prosecution, and his right to travel outside Ukraine. These actions appear to be politically motivated due to his connection with Mrs. Tymoshenko.'”

Statist, Warmongering Retired Generals

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“Three retired generals from Nebraska are calling on state lawmakers to support an increase of $10 million per year for the Early Childhood Education Endowment Cash Fund as a necessary step to ensure that more young adults meet the basic qualifications for military service. ‘Our military remains the strongest in the world, but I am very concerned about the reduced number of young men and women who can meet all of the qualifications required to serve in our Armed Forces,’ said a General Cohen.”

Budget Cuts Could Pull Navy Out of The War on Drugs

Posted on by

“Currently the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates USS Gary (FFG-51) and Thach (FFG-43) patrol the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific looking for drug runners  using either high-speed ‘go-fast,’ boats or slow-moving, hard-to-detect drug submarine-like craft to smuggle hundreds of tons of cocaine and other drugs from South America into the United States.  With the frigates out of the picture, the amount of drugs entering the country will increase, U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Robert Papp told USNI News following Tuesday’s State of the Coast Guard address.”

Pentagon: Cuts Could Hamper Ability To Invade Countries For No Reason

Posted on by

“The spending cuts mandated by the sequester may hamper the United States’s ability to invade countries for absolutely no reason, a Pentagon spokesman warned today.  The Pentagon made this gloomy assessment amid widespread fears that the nation’s ability to wage totally optional wars based on bogus pretexts may be in peril.”

Pentagon linked to Iraqi torture centers by Central American ‘dirty war’ veteran

Posted on by

“The Pentagon sent a US veteran of the ‘dirty wars’ in Central America, Colonel James Steele, to oversee sectarian police commando units in Iraq, that set up secret detention and torture centres to get information from insurgents. These units conducted some of the worst acts of torture during the US occupation and accelerated the country’s descent into full-scale civil war.  A second special advisor, retired Colonel James H Coffman (now 59) worked alongside Steele in detention centres that were set up with millions of dollars of US funding.”

Think New York Is Costly? In New Delhi, Seedy Goes for 8 Figures

Posted on by

“Real estate prices in the heart of New Delhi, especially for the bungalows built nearly a century ago during the British Raj, are among the highest in the world.  The obvious question about the prices, in a country where hundreds of millions of people still live on less than $2 a day, is: Why?  To a large degree, India is experiencing the sort of real estate boom common to big, emerging economies. When Japan’s economy was soaring in the 1980s, prices in Tokyo were so frothy that the 845-acre compound of the Imperial Palace was valued at more than all the real estate in California. More recently, China has seen a boom, with values rising in some cities by 500 percent.”

Egyptian Austerity Seen as Inflation Goes Up Hard

Egyptian Austerity Seen as Inflation Goes Up Hard

“Egypt’s policy, apparently, is to engineer a controlled devaluation and hope that the IMF will come to the rescue. In the meantime, Egypt’s reserves are being depleted and a surge in oil or commodity prices would put the bank and the country as a whole deeper into insolvency.  It is regularly taught that only enlightened central bank monetary control can lift nations out of financial crises but as the 21st century dawns, it increasingly seems that the reverse is true. Central banks fix the price of money and price-fixing inevitably fails.  As a result, most central banks lurch from one crisis to another, participating first in sustained booms and then terrible busts.”
