The Mediterranean Union: Dividing the Middle East and North Africa

10-02-2008 15:07

Expansion and the Mediterranean Union
The Middle East and North Africa are in the process of being divided into spheres of influence between the European Union and the United States. Unknown to the global public, several milestone decisions have been made to end Franco-German and Anglo-American squabbling that will ultimately call for joint management of the spoils of war. Franco-German and Anglo-American interests are converging into one. The reality of the situation is that the area ranging from Mauritania to the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan will be shared by America, Britain, France, Germany, and their allies.

And maybe the pics will help to stoke the fire in your belly...

Restoration Project Fraud

Restoration Project Fraudsters: Gil Ziegler, Zig Ziegler, and Danny Hashimoto
While offshore capital flight may only appear to have ceased, for some, it remains clear that sophisticated fraudsters circumventing enhanced laws by enlarging their fraud victim numbers, combined with fast frequency fraud entity build-ups and switch-outs, that some say out-competes the frequency by which women change pantyhose, it appears the U.S. government continues using old technology processes combined with their recent lack-luster attitudes trying to wave-away fraud and money laundering like pesky flies, are mistakenly doing more to enhance the spread of more sophisticated business financial investment fraud monsters than not.

Globalisation: n. 1 in the list of evils for contemporary education

07-02-2008 17:03

I continue with another piece to expose corporate control of academia in response to the article by Angela Jancius on "Battling the Neoliberalization of University Life". In this short article I highlight how globalisation attracts dangers associated with a lack of genuine educational values, quality control and regulation. I also expose some of the recent moves that new corporations have made in order to gain further control on Academia.

MediaLens: 'Creative Destruction' – The Madness of the Global Economy

05-02-2008 17:32

Watching the corporate media report the ‘financial crisis’ is instructive. From the perspective of power, it is important that a steadying hand is applied to the tiller of news and commentary on the crisis, and the global economy itself.

The War that did not make the Headlines: Over Five Million Dead in Congo?

01-02-2008 17:17

There are reasons why Darfur is in the crises of the day, the poster crises, and why Congo is hardly mentioned.

The International Rescue Committee has been described in the past as the ideal instrument of psychological warfare, and it is. This is exactly what is going on with the IRC today, and more, when the IRC—heavily subsidized by the very same profiteers—sends its body counters into Congo.
