Iraq and Libya have been taken out, and Iran has been heavily boycotted. Syria is now in the cross-hairs. Why? Here is one overlooked scenario …
In an August 2013 article, titled “Larry Summers and the Secret ‘End-game’ Memo,” Greg Palast posted evidence of a secret late-1990s plan devised by Wall Street and U.S. Treasury officials to open banking to the lucrative derivatives business. To pull this off required the relaxation of banking regulations not just in the US but globally. The vehicle to be used was the Financial Services Agreement of the World Trade Organization.  Continuer la lecture de « Making the world safe for banksters: Syria in the crosshairs »

It’s now painfully clear that Obama’s war on Syria is a replay of Bush’s march to war in Iraq, both built on lies. Zero evidence has been put forth that proves the Syrian government used chemical weapons. On the contrary, evidence has been recorded that suggests the U.S.-backed Syrian rebels are responsible for the attack.

If Obama wages an aggressive attack on Syria — especially without UN authorization — he’ll be committing a major international crime that will, by any standard, make him a war criminal, just like Bush before him.   Continuer la lecture de « How the U.S. Left is Failing Over Syria »

Interview with Gordon Duff – Published on Russia Today RT, September 3, 2013.

The US government has no more credibility with the American people and the military that are “sick and tired” of war which has now lasted for 13 years, Gordon Duff, a marine veteran has told RT.

As President Barack Obama is seeking support from Congress for military action in Syria, anti-war sentiment among the population is growing.

… Syria occupies a strategic location in the Middle East. The war on Syria is part of a roadmap of military undertakings. It is an integral part of a broader US-NATO-Israel military agenda directed not only against Iran, but also against Russia and China. Moreover, it is part of an extended military agenda which consists in establishing control over Middle East-Central Asian oil reserves as well as strategic oil and gas pipelines.  Continuer la lecture de « Dangerous Crossroads: a war on Syria, prelude to a World War III scenario? »

Pakistan is a country standing at the crossroads. From Karachi to Peshawar, a series of snapshots provides a glimpse into the dangerous inequalities and snatches of hope that fill Pakistani life. I was born in London, but used to visit Pakistan with my family during the summer holidays. In March 2013, I travelled from Karachi in the South, to Peshawar in the North. I took a notebook and a camera, and saw a Pakistan I had not seen before. Here are ten people I met.   Continuer la lecture de « Pakistani portraits »

Book-Review for Social Democracy After the Cold War, edited by Bryan Evans and Ingo Schmidt, 2012, Edmonton: AU Press – Published on new Socialist, by James Cairns, August 30, 2013.

The nine chapters in the edited collection Social Democracy After the Cold War describe the development of that trend and analyze its relevance for anti-capitalists. It claims to provide “a comprehensive examination of a politics that has come to be identified as the ‘new’ social democracy.” Comprehensive is a bold word and isn’t the best descriptor of a book that offers case studies of social democracy without including chapters on experiences in Southern Europe (think Greece and Portugal) or anywhere on the Asian, African or South American continents.   Continuer la lecture de « The Neoliberalization of Social Democracy »

a centennial update with additions from long wave theory and Karl Polanyi’s Great Transformation – Published on Linke Zeitung (left journal), by Ingo Schmidt, August 15, 2013.

The period of economic and political crises that began with the Wall Street crash in 2007 in many ways resembles the conditions of global capitalism at the time Rosa Luxemburg published her Accumulation of Capital. This article argues that Luxemburg’s political economy entails the theoretical tools necessary to understand capitalist development since the early 20th century and that capitalism indeed faces as great a crisis as it did at that time.   Continuer la lecture de « ROSA LUXEMBURG’S ACCUMULATION OF CAPITAL »
