“The British Police are the best in the world”

Apr 272011

By Richard Seymour – Lenin’s Tomb Take a deep breath, and don’t let it out until you’ve finished this sentence: the Metropolitan Police are charging Alfie Meadows with ‘violent disorder’. Now you can collect your jaw from the floor. Alfie Meadows is the student who was beaten so badly by police that he had to undergo serious brain surgery. He was also, reportedly, denied an ambulance by police for a considerable period of time. When he finally boarded an ambulance, police attempted to prevent the ambulance from delivering him to Charing Cross hospital on the grounds that the hospital was reserved for the treatment of …….

In an interview with Times of India published on 26 April 2011, Julian Assange say that Rudolf Elmer is effectively being held hostage by A Swiss Bank. There is a video of the interview on the Times web site accessible through the above link. Assange says that he has been approached by a third party claiming to represent the bank with a message that, if he returns all the leaked (and not yet published) bank data in the possession of Wikleaks, the bank will work to have Rudolf Elmer (currently in prison on the Swiss equivalent of remand whilst investigations proceed) released – see this …….

Post-Peak Economics by Peter Goodchild Related: Coming Chaos: Part 1 – Systemic Collapse. Part 2 – When The Lights Go Out Almost everything in the global economy is either made from oil or requires oil to manufacture it or operate it. As the price of oil goes up, so does the price of everything else. This rise is referred to as “stagflation” — stagnant incomes combined with price inflation. The hardest hit will be those who have lost their jobs, followed by those with limited disposable income, which means those most likely to have debts: car payments, house mortgages, credit cards, student loans. But everyone ……. [Full Post]

Britain’s Royal Wedding and its "Dirty little Secret" in Bahrain

by Finian Cunningham – Global Research The British royal wedding is turning swiftly into a public relations disaster, with news that Bahrain’s Crown Prince is respectfully turning down his invitation to the event because of the “situation reigning” in the Persian Gulf kingdom. However, the real story behind the headlines is that the diplomatic shuffle reveals that the British establishment is well aware of the vicious repression being conducted by the Bahraini rulers along with the armed forces of neigbouring Gulf states, including Western allies Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa reportedly said that ……. [Full Post]

Tyrants beware. What goes around might come around by Tony Cartalucci Peddling a policy that includes assassinating the leader of a sovereign nation, besieged under blatantly false pretenses, sets a dangerous precedent that may backfire in the faces of the arrogant men calling for it. Lindsey Graham and John McCain, both of the meddling International Republican Institute implicated in funding and fueling the “Arab Spring” to begin with, have called for the assassination of Libya’s Qaddafi and members of his inner circle. The London Telegraph also reported that Foreign Secretary William Hague refused to rule out using US drones to assassinate Qaddafi. With the US ……. [Full Post]

NATO fails in bid to kill Muammar Qaddafi

Another article from the Israeli Debka File dated 22 April 2011. Debka File is a reliable outlet for both Israeli government information and disinformation. The article should be treated accordingly, whilst recognising that Israel has pressing interests and concerns about anything and everything concerning the broad Arab world. There can be absolutely no doubt that Israeli intelligence services and their assets will be deeply involved in the entire so-called ‘Arab Spring’ revolutions. The NATO humanitarian interventionists call this ‘protecting the civilian population’ Hours after US and British figures called for “the head of the snake” in Libya to be cut off, NATO warplanes early Monday, …….

When the Lights go out Related: Coming Chaos: Part 1 – Systemic Collapse. Part 3 – Post-Peak economics by Peter Goodchild The first distinct sign of systemic collapse will be the increasing frequency of electrical-power failures (Duncan, 2000, November 13; 2005-06, Winter). Throughout the world, electricity comes mainly from coal, natural gas, nuclear power plants, or hydroelectric dams, and all of them are bad choices. Most electricity in the US and Canada is produced by fossil fuels, and in the US that generally means coal. The first problems with electricity will serve as an advance warning, but the greatest danger will occur years later as ……. [Full Post]

by Peter Goodchild Related: Coming Chaos: Part 2 – When the lights go out. – Part3 – Post-Peak economics Systemic collapse, the coming dark age, the coming crash, overshoot, the die-off, the tribulation, the coming anarchy, resource wars — there are many names, and they do not all correspond to exactly the same thing, but there is a widespread conviction that something ominous is happening. This event has 10 elements, each with a somewhat causal relationship to the next. Fossil fuels, metals, and electricity are a tightly-knit group, and no industrial civilization can have one without the others. As those three disappear, food and fresh ……. [Full Post]
