In context of the European Tribune ...

Are we on the eve of a turn in the Great Game?

○ Putin, Petrodollars and Canada's Useful Idiot Harper

Posted in April 2014 - H/T melo for the original post in the weekend newsroom.

 
Protecting the House of Saud - OPEC and the US Petrodollars

Saddam Hussein - eliminated after the second Gulf War

Muammar Gaddafi - eliminated by HRC in alliance with Tony Blair/David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy

Bashar al-Assad - because it could, planned by neocons in program called PNAC

US presidential candidate - defeated by boosted AngloSaxon dark forces of extreme right conservaties (plus Netanyahu's revenge?)
[key words: Brexit - Tories - Robert Mercer - Cambridge Analytica - Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook]

Conclusion: pure capitalism wins, the individual loses, the nation and world suffers. Mourning deaths of millions, not even counting plight of refugees in the tens of millions.

Amnesia and Gaza Genocide

Re: Economy & Finance (none / 0)
Good breadcrumbs.

I went further fishing at people.cn. This is an PRC-organ aggregator with which I'm unfamiliar. The effect is concentrated sinophile propaganda -- by contrast to my quasi-SEZ, anglophone JV business presses dim sum approach.

I was last in China on a LBS junket just before the SSE opened. I mention to emphasize, PRC-CCP long-view, long-game strategy is not to be discounted or trifled with. The message from the organs is confident, not conciliatory, and "amplifies," as the children say, conviction in multi-polar alliances.
