Henry Kissinger on the Assembly of a New World Order

The concept that has underpinned the modern geopolitical era is in crisis

By Henry Kissinger

Libya is in civil war, fundamentalist armies are building a self-declared caliphate across Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan's young democracy is on the verge of paralysis. To these troubles are added a resurgence of tensions with Russia and a relationship with China divided between pledges of cooperation and public recrimination. The concept of order that has underpinned the modern era is in crisis.

The search for world order has long been defined almost exclusively by the concepts of Western societies. In the decades following World War II, the U.S.—strengthened in its economy and national confidence—began to take up the torch of international leadership and added a new dimension. A nation founded explicitly on an idea of free and representative governance, the U.S. identified its own rise with the spread of liberty and democracy and credited these forces with an ability to achieve just and lasting peace.

This is a very revealing article from one of the architects. The rest here.

“The Russian Aggression Prevention Act” (RAPA): A Direct Path to Nuclear War with Russia

 The Russian Aggression Prevention Act”, introduced to Congress by U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), will set the US on a path towards direct military conflict with Russia in Ukraine.
Any US-Russian war is likely to quickly escalate into a nuclear war, since neither the US nor Russia would be willing to admit defeat, both have many thousands of nuclear weapons ready for instant use, and both rely upon Counterforce military doctrine that tasks their military, in the event of war, to preemptively destroy the nuclear forces of the enemy.

It's all bullshit all the time

Rather than allow President Obama to assume a “real” presidential office, sources now tell that “handlers” who, with the help of Vice President Cheney, kept George W. Bush medicated and sober as possible, directed him to facilitate efforts that would guarantee that no subsequent American president would ever be able to enact policies unfavorable to Israel or powerful criminal interests.

 Well this explains a lot doesn't it?

Unsubstantiated claims once again from "journalists"

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/11037397/Ukraine-artillery-destroys-part-of-Russian-armoured-column-says-Poroshenko.html 

More bullshit and innuendo from western "journalists". If the Ukraine army destroyed numerous vehicles in a Russian armoured column where are the damned films or photos? How was this confirmed? This steady stream of highly inflammatory rhetoric and lies should make it clear to any objective observer that facts are insignificant to those determined to drag us to WWIII.

Where is the alternative media on this now?

The convenience store video reveals Michael Brown entering the store followed by Johnson. Brown hands a box of Swisher Sweets to Johnson. Brown took several boxes of cigars and turned to leave the store. “Brown grabbed the clerk and “forcefully pushed him back into a display rack.”
 And here are photos of the robbery at the convenience store with a suspect who was identified as “Big Mike” Brown. Source.

Yesterday many alternative media outlets jumped on the same bandwagon with the MSM and condemned Ferguson police without knowing the facts in this matter. 
This should make them realize that even they can easily be caught up in the hysteria and propaganda which they claim "sheep" subscribe to.  But are they admitting this "gentle giant" now appears to have been nothing more than a thug? Hell no! Crow, no matter how well seasoned is still unpalatable.

Word of the Day: PETRODOLLARS

Definition of ‘Petrodollars’

The money earned from the sale of oil. The term “petrodollars” was coined when the price of oil rose sharply in the 1970s. It resurfaced in the new millennium, when prices rose once again. Although petrodollars initially referred primarily to money that Middle Eastern countries and members of OPEC received, the definition has broadened in recent years.

Putin Says The Petrodollar Must Die, "The Dollar Monopoly In Energy Trade Is Damaging Russia's Economy"

On one hand, despite initial weakness following Europe's triple-dip red alert, futures declined only to surge higher after some headline or another out of Russia was again spun to suggest imminent Ukraine de-escalation (something which Russia whose only interest is to keep crude prices high, has absolutely zero interest in), perpetuating a rumor which was set off by a Russian media outlet tweet last week that has sent S&P futures over 50 higher in less than a week on... nothing.
On the other, Putin just said the following, which no matter how one spins it, shows precisely how Russia is inclined vis-a-vis future (un-de-counter) escalations.

PUTIN SAYS RUSSIA SHOULD AIM TO SELL OIL AND GAS FOR ROUBLES GLOBALLY, AS DOLLAR MONOPOLY IN ENERGY TRADE IS DAMAGING ECONOMY

Reuters adds:

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday Russia should aim to sell its oil and gas for roubles globally because the dollar monopoly in energy trade was damaging Russia's economy.
"We should act carefully. At the moment we are trying to agree with some countries to trade in national currencies," Putin said during a visit to the Crimea region, which Moscow annexed from Ukraine earlier this year.

Countries such as China, India, Iran, Brazil, and virtually every other non-insolvent, that is to say "developed, Western" country.
And now, bring on the Russian "isolation" (which is about to push Europe, not Russia, into a triple-dip recession) and further de-escalation. Source.

Here’s the Real Problem with the Riots in St. Louis

 Excerpt:

  Here’s what’s wrong with the riots in Ferguson: If the community, rather than rioting and looting their own town, going as far as burning down businesses, simply commented on how America is slowly – or even not that slowly – turning into a police state, I believe the whole country would rally behind Ferguson and we could begin an honest national dialogue about something that’s becoming a very real problem.

Police are trained – at least ostensibly – to resort to the least serious form of force, moving up the theoretical ladder from fists to batons to tasers, for example, before deciding to pull out their guns. And if they do feel the need to use their weapons, they are supposed to shoot to injure before shooting to kill.

It seems to me, at least, that neither side is telling the real story here. I find it very hard to believe that Brown was simply walking down the street minding his own business when a cop decided to harass him for absolutely no reason before deciding that he needed to kill the teen in cold blood.

I also find it very hard to believe that the police officer absolutely needed to shoot-to-kill an 18-year-old who was unarmed.

We may never find out exactly what transpired that night, but I’d venture to guess that we won’t hear the full truth in either side’s testimony.

In the Time of the Shadow Bankers

 Excerpt:
US Corporate Tax ‘Inversions’ and the New Global Finance Capital Elite

This elite is deepening its control of nonfinancial companies and are increasingly directing those companies increasingly toward profits growth from financial manipulation as the primary corporate activity—in this case ‘inversions’ and corporate mergers and acquisitions activity.
Instead of making profits by making real things that require real investment and the employ real people, the focus of global capitalism is increasingly toward more financial asset investment—i.e. investment that produces even quicker, more lucrative profits growth than old fashioned ‘real’ investment that makes things that creates jobs and income for people to buy the things.
Global capitalism is growing progressively less interested in making things for profit than it is in generating forms of money capital as profit. Those engaged in financial asset investment (i.e. financial elite) are therefore accruing an ever larger share of global income and wealth for themselves, while those who were once participating in investment producing goods are finding their share of income in steady relative decline.
Global shadow banks now control more than $70 trillion in investible assets, according to such ‘radical’ sources as the Financial Times global periodical. And very high net worth investors, about 200,000 individuals worldwide with annual income flows of $30 million or more from existing assets—i.e. the new global finance capital elite—now own close to half of that $70 trillion in investible assets. And their assets are projected to rise another $10 trillion by 2017.

A furious assault that residents say began on July 20 levelled much of Khuza'a - leaving whole streets flattened, once-grand mosque domes reduced to ground level and the local council's "Bon Voyage Khusa'a" sign lying crumpled in bits like an unfortunate joke at the town entrance

Word of the Day: FULSOME

ful·some

adjective \ˈfu̇l-səm\

: expressing something (such as praise or thanks) in a very enthusiastic or emotional way

 

Usage Discussion of FULSOME

The senses shown above are the chief living senses of fulsome. Sense 2, which was a generalized term of disparagement in the late 17th century, is the least common of these. Fulsome became a point of dispute when sense 1, thought to be obsolete in the 19th century, began to be revived in the 20th. The dispute was exacerbated by the fact that the large dictionaries of the first half of the century missed the beginnings of the revival. Sense 1 has not only been revived but has spread in its application and continues to do so. The chief danger for the user of fulsome is ambiguity. Unless the context is made very clear, the reader or hearer cannot be sure whether such an expression as “fulsome praise” is meant in sense 1b or in sense 4.
