Zbigniew Brzezinski speaking.. (again...)


Zbigniew Brzezinski
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Edward Luce, Washington columnist and commentator for the Financial Times, waited to the next to the last paragraph of his description of lunch with his friend, Zbigniew Brzezinski, to drop a bombshell. As they finished off their lasagna and taglierini, and after he recorded that the former U.S. National Security adviser is worried about China and President Obama, the subject of the next presidential election came up.
During the interview at Washington’s Teatro Goldoni restaurant, Brzezinski admitted to having voted for Republicans a couple of times (one being George H.W. Bush).  “A good election is one that would shape out in an intelligent victory by Obama,” he said, adding that, however, “There is no sign of that from the other side.” “Which means Obama will win,” asked Luce. Well, not at all, says Brzezinski. “My fear is that two or three weeks before the election something will happen – an October surprise. If Iran were struck by Israelis during October, the negative effects would not be felt until late November and December. The first effect would be, ‘Ah, how wonderful. Let’s get behind the Israelis.’ Then all bets would be off.”
Now, Brzezinski is no peacenik, and most of his policies are not something any progressive could support. The bloody mess in Afghanistan is largely his fault. But when you read his writings or hear him speak you come away confident that he is, for the most part, sane and sensible. His comment about Iran should have made the front pages of the big newspapers – and gone viral on the blogs.

China completes power transmission project with Russia

State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), the country's largest power supplier, said Sunday it has put to trial operation a cross-border electricity transmission project in northeastern Heilongjiang province to supply Chinese with Russia's electric power exports.The electric power SGCC purchased from Russia began reaching Chinese customers late Saturday night after the completion of the direct-current back-to-back networking substation, or called "the trans-Amur project" by Russians, SGCC said in a statement on its website.

The trial operation will last 168 hours, SGCC said in the statement.With a transmission capacity of 750 mega-watts, the electricity transmission project is China's biggest cross-border power line, according to SGCC."The implementation of the project will gain experience for the expansion of Sino-Russian energy cooperation and help promote the economic development for both countries," SGCC said.The project is also part of the Sino-Russian energy and trade cooperation.

Russian Deputy Energy Minister Andrei Shishkin said in June 2011 that the transmission project would increase Russia's power supply to five or six billion kilowatt hours of electricity to China and Russia intended to increase its electricity supply to China in the coming years.Russian companies plan export 60 billion kwh of electricity to China by 2020. Power plants will be built along its border with China to reduce power transmission losses and reduce transportation costs.

Also on Sunday, an oil pipeline linking Russia's far east and northeast China witnessed its one year anniversary of operation, as operators announced an accumulated 15 million tonnes of oil had been transported into China in 2011.

Iran produces first nuclear fuel rod


Iran announced on Sunday that scientists there have produced the country's first nuclear fuel rod. That came a day after US President Barack Obama signed into law a defense bill that imposed sanctions on financial institutions dealing with Iran's central bank. It also came after Iran had said it has been compelled to manufacture fuel rods on its own since international sanctions have banned Teheran from buying them on foreign markets.The European Union expects to reach a decision by the end of January on expanding sanctions against Iran, a EU spokesman said on Sunday.


According to the public relations office of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO), the rod has undergone various physical and dimensional tests and has been inserted into the core of Tehran's Research Reactor. The fuel rod has been exposed to radiation of about 1,500 megawatt hours and passed neutron-related tests in terms of radioactivity level and non-leakage of the radioactive materials during initial phases at diverse power levels, the report added. Currently, the rod is also undergoing rays at Tehran's Research Reactor to examine its long-term performance. Over the past years, Iranian nuclear experts have succeeded in utilizing the reactor to meet the nation's requirements for radiopharmaceuticals.

O ιερός πόλεμος της Ρωσίας κατά της ελληνικής πολιτικής ελίτ

"Την ώρα που ο εκπρόσωπος του υπουργείου Εξωτερικών Γ.Δελαβέκουρας, δήλωνε προς την Ρωσία με αφορμή την διαμαρτυρία της στην υπόθεση του ηγούμενου Εφραίμ ότι «Η Ελλάδα είναι κράτος δικαίου με μακρά δημοκρατική παράδοση και σεβασμό των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων, όπου υπάρχει απόλυτος σεβασμός στην ανεξαρτησία της Δικαιοσύνης και σαφής διάκριση των εξουσιών. Για τα ανωτέρω θέματα η Ελλάδα δεν δέχεται υποδείξεις» κατά μία περίεργη ιστορική συγκυρία δύο ανώτατοι εισαγγελικοί λειτουργοί, επιφορτισμένοι με την δίωξη του οικονομικού εγκλήματος παραιτούντο, καταγγέλλοντας παρεμβάσεις της πολιτικής ηγεσίας στο έργο τους!

Δηλαδή η πραγματικότητα ισοπέδωνε τον βερμπαλισμό του ΥΠΕΞ .

Η Στάση του Νίκα, προς γνώση και συμμόρφωση


Η Στάση του Νίκα, προς γνώση και συμμόρφωση

Αναδημοσίευση από e-globbing

Στην Κωνσταντινούπολη την εποχή του Βυζαντίου, ο ιππόδρομος ήταν το μόνο μέρος που ο λαός μπορούσε να συναθροιστεί ελεύθερα. Ο λαός μαζευόταν εκεί σε διάφορες περιπτώσεις, όπως ήταν η διεξαγωγή αρματοδρομιών, επίσημες τελετές, ενθρονίσεις αυτοκρατόρων, στρατιωτικοί θρίαμβοι κ.α.[1]

Οι οπαδοί των αρματοδρομιών, ανάλογα με την ομάδα που υποστήριζαν ήταν χωρισμένοι σε 4 παρατάξεις, τους Βένετους, τους Ρούσσους, τους Λευκούς και τους Πράσινους. Οι παρατάξεις αυτές, που είχαν μεγάλη λαϊκή συμμετοχή, ονομαζόταν δήμοι. Ο κάθε ένας από αυτούς τους δήμους είχε συγκεκριμένα χαρακτηριστικά, οι Πράσινοι για παράδειγμα ήταν πολυαριθμότεροι και λαϊκότεροι ενώ είχαν συμπάθεια προς τον μονοφυσιτισμό[2] αντίθετα οι Βένετοι ήταν αριστοκρατικότεροι και ορθόδοξοι.[3]

Egypt Faces a Hardline Islamic Future ?


Egypt Faces a Hardline Islamic Future

The Islamist Muslim Brotherhood led the way in the first round of parliamentary voting in Egypt. Second place went to the even more hardline Salafist party al-Nour. The group would like to see the introduction of an ultra-conservative brand of Sharia -- and a ban on bikinis.

It's a good thing that the visitor is a man. The sheikh doesn't speak with women. But then again, the reporter is a foreigner, which is also worrisome. There are so many prejudices about Islam in the West, says Sheikh Fawzi al-Sayeed. But perhaps, he adds, this conversation will help to spread the truth.
Sayeed, 70, a serious-looking man with a full gray beard, is wearing sandals, a crochet cap and the traditional Egyptian garment called the Jellabiya. He invites his guest into the Al-Tawheed Mosque. It is 6:30 a.m., and those gathered inside have just completed their morning prayers. Now they are forming a half circle around their sheikh, who has taken a seat on a wooden chair in the middle of the room. The Al-Tawheed Mosque in the northern part of Cairo is a plain-looking building with no ornate columns or other decoration; no unnecessary details to distract the faithful from their devotion to God.

Pondering a Dire Day: Leaving the Euro

LONDON — It would be Europe’s worst nightmare: after weeks of rumors, the Greek prime minister announces late on a Saturday night that the country will abandon the euro currency and return to the drachma.
Instead of business as usual on Monday morning, lines of angry Greeks form at the shuttered doors of the country’s banks, trying to get at their frozen deposits. The drachma’s value plummets more than 60 percent against the euro, and prices soar at the few shops willing to open.Soon, the country’s international credit lines are cut afterGreece, as part of the prime minister’s move, defaults on its debt.As the country descends into chaos, the military seizes control of the government.

The European Union's New Face


Bye Bye Britain

The European Union's New Face

A Commentary by Roland Nelles
British Prime Minister David Cameron pulled back from the EU on Thursday night.

British Prime Minister David Cameron pulled back from the EU on Thursday night.
The European Union on Thursday night dropped the hypocrisy. No longer is harmony the overriding goal. That, though, means that Great Britain may no longer have a place at the table. London must decide whether it wants to remain part of Europe or not.
Info
Europe on Friday awoke to a changed world. The European idea as we know it is in the process of dissolving into thin air. The monumental postwar project of a peacefully unified continent where all member states hold hands in friendship collapsed overnight.
The European Union has divided itself in the face of crisis. On the one side is the common currency union, which is following the Franco-German desire to grow together as a way to finally get the euro crisis under control.

Iran military landed US spy drone

Iran military landed US spy drone


An undated picture received Dec 8, 2011 shows a US RQ-170 unmanned spy plane displayed in front of a flag with Persian script that reads "Down with the US (top), down with Israel and down with Britain (bottom)" at an unknown location in Iran. The unmanned US drone Iran said on Sunday it had captured was programmed to automatically return to base even if its data link was lost, one key reason that US officials say the drone likely malfunctioned and was not downed by Iranian electronic warfare

Ματαιοδοξίες...


Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan, a billionaire Sheikh and member of Abu Dhabi's ruling family, has had his name carved into the sandy surface of an island he owns in the Persian Gulf. It is no lackadaisical sand-scrawling, though: At half a mile tall and 2 miles long altogether, the letters HAMAD are visible from space.
Satellites captured these images of al Futaisi Island, stamped with the name of its owner,

Όταν ο "ιδανικός" Λουκάς Παπαδήμος μοίραζε δάνεια αβέρτα!


Όταν ο "ιδανικός" Λουκάς Παπαδήμος μοίραζε δάνεια αβέρτα!


Από το vgaloupis.blogspot.com, μέσω του athenstock.blogspot.com, διαβάζουμε ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον άρθρο από το παρελθόν. Πριν δούμε το δημοσίευμα, μια δική μας εισαγωγή:

Όπως λοιπόν έχουμε ξαναπεί, ο δυτικός καπιταλισμός, πλην Γερμανίας, "έχανε έδαφος"στη μάχη του εναντίον δυνάμεων όπως η Κίνα, η Ινδία, κτλ. Οι καπιταλιστές μετέφεραν τη βιομηχανική παραγωγή εκεί, λόγω της φτηνότερης ("ανταγωνιστικότερης") εργατικής δύναμης που έβρισκαν σε αυτές τις χώρες. Προκειμένου να μην καταρρεύσει, η Δύση υποκατέστησε τη φυγή της βιομηχανίας με τραπεζικά δάνεια, τα οποία τότε τα μοίραζε αβέρτα. Και πράγματι, η αγορά συνέχισε να κινείται (για μερικά χρόνια τουλάχιστον), χάρη στην καπιταλιστική ανάπτυξη που "έδιναν" οι τραπεζίτες σαν "μάνα εξ ουρανού", οι εργάτες δεν πήραν χαμπάρι το τι γινόταν διότι εξακολουθούσαν "να έχουν λεφτά στα χέρια τους", αλλά -τελικά- η παραγωγική βάση είναι τώρα ακόμα πιο αποσαθρωμένη, και τα χρέη γιγαντωμένα σε εκπληκτικά επίπεδα.

Εδώ το δημοσίευμα από το 2000 με τον Παπαδήμο, που ως "καλός στρατιώτης" των τραπεζών διαφήμιζε τότε τα καταναλωτικά δάνεια:
