Great story in the Guardian – at last the Egyptians are taking things seriously – how can any country be democratic if foreign Governments are financing opposition parties (remember the MDC in Zimbabwe)

Get in there and and close them down – they are political movements and so closely linked to US foreign policy in the region that no one should be fooled.
Growth in an economy is measured as the rate of increase of private and government spending. If government spending increases then the economy will grow.
We have today a situation where the only thing driving growth is increased government expenditure due to unemployment pushing up benefit costs and at the same time reducing government tax receipts.
Sitting in square and asking for a revolution is unlikely to get the desired result. True to form the Egyptians asked for change and got it. Not!
What a dilemma for Obama and the Western poodles (merkel, cameron, others). Do they support the new movement? Do they insist that the junta remains in power until elections can be organised?
I love the irony of this one!
May this be the first place that the Arab people take control and define their destiny!
I would be delighted to hear from any Arabs who believe that the Arab League is truly representative of the Arab world! Run by a New York educated lawyer and its membership stuffed with US puppet regimes (including Qatar of course – the regime behind Al Jazeera).
It is no surprise that Lebanon and Yemen voted against the recent vote to exclude Syria.
If I have one call it is for the Arab world to work together and stop the infighting that has been and continues to be encouraged by the Judeo-Christian developed world!
We went up to see the encampment on Sunday. It was getting cold and I really do wonder how the few that stay here overnight will manage as the winter cold sets in. For the moment all is well – the tents are neatly aligned, there is a library, a university, a kitchen and store and a perfect amphitheater in the form of the steps of St Pauls.
The latest threat to the beleaguered Greeks is to eject them from the Euro. There is no way this can be done – there is no such mechanism. Rise up people of Greece and say “Όχι εγώ δεν θα υποστεί για εσάς τους τραπεζίτες” – No I will not suffer for you bankers.
Over half the Greek debt can be attributed to some Nato arms spending spree over the last 20 years the rest to over-zealous bankers high on the discovery of high interests rates with no risk.
The Venezuelan authorities condemn NATO’s actions in Libya.

Convicted Lockerbie Bomber Probably Not Guilty—So Who Is the Real Criminal?.
There is more to this story than we are being told. Why does mainstream media not probe further for the truth?
Yesterday I again heard that Gadaffi got what was coming to him for his role in ordering the Lockerbie bombing! It amazes me that people are prepared to believe whatever they are told by Governments and mainstream media and look no further.
The Bank of England or the Federal Reserve in the US, creates money by effectively issuing itself money, electronic money. The Central Bank then uses this money to buy what a bank calls assets i.e.debt in the market. In 2009, when the Bank of England carried out over £200 billion worth of QE, the BoE bought almost entirely Government securities i.e. debt of the Uk Government.
In this scenario there is one benefit and only one……. Read the rest of this entry »
I will not rest in my pleas to the Greek people to refuse categorically the pernicious austerity measures being implemented by their Government. Do not allow them to destroy generations of Greeks to save the bankers.
Some figures:
Greece joined the EU in 1981 and has spent at least $250 billion in defence spending since then. There debt is around $450bn. Remember that the German and French armament industry have done very well out of this as have their bankers who have lent Greece the money to gorge itself on missiles and such like. Greece is number 23 in the defence spending league!
I urge you to default on this debt! Say no to your Government now and make the Governments and bankers of the EU, the UK and the US face up to the consequences of their greed. Let’s cleanse ourselves and them in the process!
