In 2001, following the September 11 terrorist attack, Karzai worked with agents of the United States
to overthrow the Taliban in Afghanistan and muster support for a new government. On December 5, 2001 exile Afghan political leaders--many with no followers inside Afghanistan--gathered in Bonn, Germany, and named Karzai chairman of a 29-member governing committee and leader of an interim government. The ceremony for the transfer of power took place December 22. Critics assert that he worked for the American oil company Unocal (see below), which has interests in the oil and gas industry across Central Asia.

David Icke är det sämsta som hänt sanningsrörelsen näst efter Fox News. David Ickes strategi är att anamma alla aktuell debattämnen och göra frågorna till sina.

Hans förmåga att sedan sammankoppla samtliga seriösa och oseriösa teorier till en enda förhistorisk konspirationslinje som orkestreras av ödlevarelser från yttre rymden gör att ett löjets skimmer faller på alla frågor.

Hans mediala framtoning får många att tro att han representerar alla sanningssökares ståndpunkt vilket i sin tur får alla sanningssägare att framstå som patologiska, psykotiska kverulanter.

Bör man gå? Icke sa nicke!

Many of these biases are studied for how they affect belief formation, business decisions, and scientific research.

* Bandwagon effect — the tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink and herd behaviour.
* Base rate fallacy — ignoring available statistical data in favor of particulars.
* Bias blind spot — the tendency not to compensate for one's own cognitive biases.
* Choice-supportive bias — the tendency to remember one's choices as better than they actually were.
* Confirmation bias — the tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions.
* Congruence bias — the tendency to test hypotheses exclusively through direct testing, in contrast to tests of possible alternative hypotheses.
* Conservatism bias — the tendency to ignore the consequence of new evidence. (Related to base rate fallacy.)[1]
* Contrast effect — the enhancement or diminishing of a weight or other measurement when compared with a recently observed contrasting object.
* Déformation professionnelle — the tendency to look at things according to the conventions of one's own profession, forgetting any broader point of view.
* Denomination effect — the tendency to spend more money when it is denominated in small amounts (e.g. coins) than large amounts (e.g. bills).[2]
* Distinction bias — the tendency to view two options as more dissimilar when evaluating them simultaneously than when evaluating them separately.[3]
* Endowment effect — "the fact that people often demand much more to give up an object than they would be willing to pay to acquire it".[4]
* Experimenter's or Expectation bias — the tendency for experimenters to believe, certify, and publish data that agree with their expectations for the outcome of an experiment, and to disbelieve, discard, or downgrade the corresponding weightings for data that appear to conflict with those expectations.[5]
* Extraordinarity bias — the tendency to value an object more than others in the same category as a result of an extraordinarity of that object that does not, in itself, change the value.
* Extreme aversion — the tendency to avoid extremes, being more likely to choose an option if it is the intermediate choice.
* Focusing effect — prediction bias occurring when people place too much importance on one aspect of an event; causes error in accurately predicting the utility of a future outcome.
* Framing — by using a too narrow approach or description of the situation or issue. Also framing effect — drawing different conclusions based on how data are presented.
* Hyperbolic discounting — the tendency for people to have a stronger preference for more immediate payoffs relative to later payoffs, where the tendency increases the closer to the present both payoffs are.
* Illusion of control — the tendency for human beings to believe they can control or at least influence outcomes that they clearly cannot.
* Impact bias — the tendency for people to overestimate the length or the intensity of the impact of future feeling states.
* Information bias — the tendency to seek information even when it cannot affect action.
* Irrational escalation — the tendency to make irrational decisions based upon rational decisions in the past or to justify actions already taken.
* Loss aversion — "the disutility of giving up an object is greater than the utility associated with acquiring it".[6] (see also sunk cost effects and Endowment effect).
* Mere exposure effect — the tendency for people to express undue liking for things merely because they are familiar with them.
* Moral credential effect — the tendency of a track record of non-prejudice to increase subsequent prejudice.
* Need for closure — the need to reach a verdict in important matters; to have an answer and to escape the feeling of doubt and uncertainty. The personal context (time or social pressure) might increase this bias.[7]
* Neglect of probability — the tendency to completely disregard probability when making a decision under uncertainty.
* Not Invented Here — the tendency to ignore that a product or solution already exists, because its source is seen as an "enemy" or as "inferior".
* Omission bias — the tendency to judge harmful actions as worse, or less moral, than equally harmful omissions (inactions).
* Outcome bias — the tendency to judge a decision by its eventual outcome instead of based on the quality of the decision at the time it was made.
* Planning fallacy — the tendency to underestimate task-completion times.
* Post-purchase rationalization — the tendency to persuade oneself through rational argument that a purchase was a good value.
* Pseudocertainty effect — the tendency to make risk-averse choices if the expected outcome is positive, but make risk-seeking choices to avoid negative outcomes.
* Reactance — the urge to do the opposite of what someone wants you to do out of a need to resist a perceived attempt to constrain your freedom of choice.
* Selective perception — the tendency for expectations to affect perception.
* Status quo bias — the tendency for people to like things to stay relatively the same (see also loss aversion, endowment effect, and system justification).[8]
* Von Restorff effect — the tendency for an item that "stands out like a sore thumb" to be more likely to be remembered than other items.
* Wishful thinking — the formation of beliefs and the making of decisions according to what is pleasing to imagine instead of by appeal to evidence or rationality.
* Zero-risk bias — preference for reducing a small risk to zero over a greater reduction in a larger risk.

[edit] Biases in probability and belief

Many of these biases are often studied for how they affect business and economic decisions and how they affect experimental research.

* Ambiguity effect — the avoidance of options for which missing information makes the probability seem "unknown".
* Anchoring — the tendency to rely too heavily, or "anchor," on a past reference or on one trait or piece of information when making decisions.
* Attentional bias — neglect of relevant data when making judgments of a correlation or association.
* Authority bias — the tendency to value an ambiguous stimulus (e.g., an art performance) according to the opinion of someone who is seen as an authority on the topic.
* Availability heuristic — estimating what is more likely by what is more available in memory, which is biased toward vivid, unusual, or emotionally charged examples.
* Availability cascade — a self-reinforcing process in which a collective belief gains more and more plausibility through its increasing repetition in public discourse (or "repeat something long enough and it will become true").
* Clustering illusion — the tendency to see patterns where actually none exist.
* Capability bias — The tendency to believe that the closer average performance is to a target, the tighter the distribution of the data set.
* Conjunction fallacy — the tendency to assume that specific conditions are more probable than general ones.
* Gambler's fallacy — the tendency to think that future probabilities are altered by past events, when in reality they are unchanged. Results from an erroneous conceptualization of the normal distribution. For example, "I've flipped heads with this coin five times consecutively, so the chance of tails coming out on the sixth flip is much greater than heads."
* Hawthorne effect — the tendency of people to perform or perceive differently when they know that they are being observed.
* Hindsight bias — sometimes called the "I-knew-it-all-along" effect, the inclination to see past events as being predictable.
* Illusory correlation — beliefs that inaccurately suppose a relationship between a certain type of action and an effect.
* Ludic fallacy — the analysis of chance related problems according to the belief that the unstructured randomness found in life resembles the structured randomness found in games, ignoring the non-gaussian distribution of many real-world results.
* Neglect of prior base rates effect — the tendency to neglect known odds when reevaluating odds in light of weak evidence.
* Observer-expectancy effect — when a researcher expects a given result and therefore unconsciously manipulates an experiment or misinterprets data in order to find it (see also subject-expectancy effect).
* Optimism bias — the systematic tendency to be over-optimistic about the outcome of planned actions.
* Ostrich effect — ignoring an obvious (negative) situation.
* Overconfidence effect — excessive confidence in one's own answers to questions. For example, for certain types of question, answers that people rate as "99% certain" turn out to be wrong 40% of the time.
* Positive outcome bias — a tendency in prediction to overestimate the probability of good things happening to them (see also wishful thinking, optimism bias, and valence effect).
* Pareidolia — vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound)are perceived as significant, e.g., seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse.
* Primacy effect — the tendency to weigh initial events more than subsequent events.
* Recency effect — the tendency to weigh recent events more than earlier events (see also peak-end rule).
* Disregard of regression toward the mean — the tendency to expect extreme performance to continue.
* Reminiscence bump — the effect that people tend to recall more personal events from adolescence and early adulthood than from other lifetime periods.
* Rosy retrospection — the tendency to rate past events more positively than they had actually rated them when the event occurred.
* Selection bias — a distortion of evidence or data that arises from the way that the data are collected.
* Stereotyping — expecting a member of a group to have certain characteristics without having actual information about that individual.
* Subadditivity effect — the tendency to judge probability of the whole to be less than the probabilities of the parts.
* Subjective validation — perception that something is true if a subject's belief demands it to be true. Also assigns perceived connections between coincidences.
* Telescoping effect — the effect that recent events appear to have occurred more remotely and remote events appear to have occurred more recently.
* Texas sharpshooter fallacy — the fallacy of selecting or adjusting a hypothesis after the data is collected, making it impossible to test the hypothesis fairly. Refers to the concept of firing shots at a barn door, drawing a circle around the best group, and declaring that to be the target.

[edit] Social biases

Most of these biases are labeled as attributional biases.

* Actor-observer bias — the tendency for explanations of other individuals' behaviors to overemphasize the influence of their personality and underemphasize the influence of their situation (see also fundamental attribution error). However, this is coupled with the opposite tendency for the self in that explanations for our own behaviors overemphasize the influence of our situation and underemphasize the influence of our own personality.
* Dunning-Kruger effect — "...when people are incompetent in the strategies they adopt to achieve success and satisfaction, they suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it. Instead, ...they are left with the mistaken impression that they are doing just fine."[9](see also Lake Wobegon effect, and overconfidence effect).
* Egocentric bias — occurs when people claim more responsibility for themselves for the results of a joint action than an outside observer would.
* Forer effect (aka Barnum Effect) — the tendency to give high accuracy ratings to descriptions of their personality that supposedly are tailored specifically for them, but are in fact vague and general enough to apply to a wide range of people. For example, horoscopes.
* False consensus effect — the tendency for people to overestimate the degree to which others agree with them.
* Fundamental attribution error — the tendency for people to over-emphasize personality-based explanations for behaviors observed in others while under-emphasizing the role and power of situational influences on the same behavior (see also actor-observer bias, group attribution error, positivity effect, and negativity effect).
* Halo effect — the tendency for a person's positive or negative traits to "spill over" from one area of their personality to another in others' perceptions of them (see also physical attractiveness stereotype).
* Herd instinct — Common tendency to adopt the opinions and follow the behaviors of the majority to feel safer and to avoid conflict.
* Illusion of asymmetric insight — people perceive their knowledge of their peers to surpass their peers' knowledge of them.
* Illusion of transparency — people overestimate others' ability to know them, and they also overestimate their ability to know others.
* Illusory superiority — perceiving oneself as having desirable qualities to a greater degree than other people. Also known as Superiority bias (see also Lake Wobegon effect).
* Ingroup bias — the tendency for people to give preferential treatment to others they perceive to be members of their own groups.
* Just-world phenomenon — the tendency for people to believe that the world is "just" and therefore people "get what they deserve."
* Lake Wobegon effect — the phenomenon that a supermajority of people report themselves as above average in desirable qualities (see also worse-than-average effect, illusory superiority and optimism bias).
* Money illusion - an irrational notion that the arbitrary values of currency, fiat or otherwise, have an actual immutable value.
* Notational bias — a form of cultural bias in which a notation induces the appearance of a nonexistent natural law.
* Outgroup homogeneity bias — individuals see members of their own group as being relatively more varied than members of other groups.
* Projection bias — the tendency to unconsciously assume that others share the same or similar thoughts, beliefs, values, or positions.
* Self-serving bias — the tendency to claim more responsibility for successes than failures. It may also manifest itself as a tendency for people to evaluate ambiguous information in a way beneficial to their interests (see also group-serving bias).
* Self-fulfilling prophecy — the tendency to engage in behaviors that elicit results which will (consciously or not) confirm our beliefs.
* System justification — the tendency to defend and bolster the status quo. Existing social, economic, and political arrangements tend to be preferred, and alternatives disparaged sometimes even at the expense of individual and collective self-interest. (See also status quo bias.)
* Trait ascription bias — the tendency for people to view themselves as relatively variable in terms of personality, behavior and mood while viewing others as much more predictable.
* Ultimate attribution error — Similar to the fundamental attribution error, in this error a person is likely to make an internal attribution to an entire group instead of the individuals within the group.

[edit] Memory errors
Further information: Memory bias

* Consistency bias — incorrectly remembering one's past attitudes and behaviour as resembling present attitudes and behaviour.
* Cryptomnesia — a form of misattribution where a memory is mistaken for imagination.
* Egocentric bias — recalling the past in a self-serving manner, e.g. remembering one's exam grades as being better than they were, or remembering a caught fish as being bigger than it was
* False memory — confusion of imagination with memory, or the confusion of true memories with false memories.
* Hindsight bias — filtering memory of past events through present knowledge, so that those events look more predictable than they actually were; also known as the 'I-knew-it-all-along effect'.
* Self-serving bias — perceiving oneself responsible for desirable outcomes but not responsible for undesirable ones.
* Suggestibility — a form of misattribution where ideas suggested by a questioner are mistaken for memory.

* Attribute substitution
* Attribution theory, especially:
o Salience
* Cognitive dissonance, and related:
o Impression management
o Self-perception theory
* Heuristics, including:
o Availability heuristic
o Representativeness heuristic

The Lorax!
Jag har bara svårt att se vad makteliten skall med en polisstat till!? Om det inte finns några konsumenter finns det inte behov för några produkter och då finns det inte arbete till arbetare.

Sånt leder förr eller senare till revolution och man förlorar sin makt. Det vet dom allt för väl. Nej det är något annat dom är ute efter.

Kanske vill man bara skjuta upp valet genom att utlysa undantagstillstånd och låta busken sitta kvar...

(Ironiskt nog ringde precis banken och vill bjuda in mig till en ekonomisk konsultation, ha, ha! Jag måste tjäna för mycket eller spara för lite ;))))

jin83!

Så länge omvärlden har varit beroende av olja och olja bara går att köpa i dollar har det gått bra att trycka fler än vad det finns täckning för. Detta p.g.a. att oljeberoende länder behållt dom i sina valv som reserv. Det är det som kallas PetroDollarsystemet som Kissinger tvingade på OPEC länderna i början av 1970 talet.

Nu när stater som Kina, Venezuela och Iran vill genomföra en oljebörs i vilken man kan handla med andra valutor än Dollar har USA varit tvungen att kontrollera energiresurserna vid källan. Voilá: Perpetual war + Assymetrisk krigsföring = Internationell Terrorism.

Världeledarna och alla andra som sysslar med Social Engeneering vet mycket väl att det måste finnas köpstarka konsumentgrupper för att den sk. fria ekonomin och handelsbalansen skall fungera.

Det känns som att det är något annat på gång!

Det kan vara så enkelt att den ekonomiska krisen är en sk. 'hostile takeover' av investmentbolag och andra fria agenter på marknaden - ungefär som på 30 talet. Man tvingar företagen i konkurs och köper upp deras tillgångar och kunder. På så sett blir det bara ett fåtal stora banker kvar efter krisen.

/c

Kom igen nu vi är ju trots allt konspirationshoror allihopa...
Jag kan inte riktigt bortse från att det finns något jag inte förstår med den stundande ekonomiska kraschen.

För att försöka få perspektiv brukar jag roa mig med att fundera på vem som tjänar på det, vilken effekt det (skeendet) kan få o.s.v. Och flera mindre underbyggda teorier dyker upp.

Bailoutförslaget röstades ner. Troligtvis p.g.a. att intäkterna från dom övertagna fordringarna skulle tillfalla skattebetalarna och inte dom ursprungliga fordringsägarna - bankerna.

Men om man oavsett detta funderar på vad en dollarkrasch skulle få för effekt.

Om 700 miljarder dollar plockas ut ur statens kassa utan motkrav - skulle det innebära att fler traditionellt statliga uppgifter skulle tvingas kommersialiseras?

Vad händer med dom milliard skulder USA har till Kina?
Vill Kina inte driva in sina skulder om Dollarn är rekord låg?

Vad händer med dom milliardtillgångar Saudi Arabien (och andra oljebaroner) har i PetroDollar? Paniksäljer Saudier Amerikanska tillgångar?

Vad händer med den trend som startats i Asien där fler valutor un-peggar dollarn och peggar den till andra valutor (EURO)?

Vad händer med PetroDollarn? Säljer omvärlden sin dollarreserv i panik eller vågar dom inte p.g.a. det låga värdet?

Panikköper omvärlden olja till ett högre pris?

Är detta en bra förevändning för att introducera en ny valutaunion med Kanada och Mexiko (som redan finns på förslag)?

Kommer omvärlden att tvingas betala för USAs underskott på något sett för att stabilisera sin egen ekonomi?

Är detta ett sätt att påminna världen om att vi faktiskt redan lever under ett enstatssamhälle (The United States of Bankers)?

Eller är det ett enkelt spel där 'lösningen' blir ett inrikespolitisk slagträ.

Hjälp mig! Vad är det som är i görningen?

Har dock lagt upp lite av vad jag skrivit här och var på nätet.

Som någon annan pekade ut har konflikten mellan Ryssland och Georgien pågått i det dolda, och med det dolda menar jag i marginalerna. För nästan inget är riktigt dolt. Det är alltid någon artikel i utrikesspalterna eller liknande som man kan researcha kring.

Det som är varningssignaler är när det blir storlöp i alla medier, Amerikanska & Brittiska administrationen, och sådana som Carl Bildt, talar samma språk -samtidigt. Då vet vi att det är Public Perception Managment på gång och då gäller det att kolla närmare på vad som är i görningen ;)

Som vanligt är sanningen ganska enkel och inte så dunkel som man kan tro. Titta på kartorna i pdf'en så ser ni vart pipelines måste gå för att nå medelhavet.

Ser att det varit lite spekulationer kring Konflikten i Georgien.
Istället för att ge mig in i ett meningsutbyte med 600+ inlägg startar jag på ny kula.

Georgien har länge varit av geostrategiskt intresse för både Ryssland och USA av två anledningar.

1: USA har sedan andra världskriget stött en rad sovietiska/rysska utbrytarstater i syfte att minimera deras gränser mot Europa och Centralasien. Detta har man gjort genom att utbilda soldater (ca 50000 i Georgien allena), stödköpa exportvaror och erbjuda tillträde till NATO samarbete. Det är ju trots allt det NATO är till för -att motverka Warsawapaktens expandering.

2: Georgien och Ostessetien är viktiga pipelineruter och transportvägar för olja från Kaspiskahavet - den oljekälla som producerar mest i världen idag. Min högst personliga spekulation är att terrordåden mot en skola i Ostossetien för något år sedan var en Rysk Black Op som syftade till att motivera Rysk militär närvaro i regionen.

Georgiens brutala attacker mot Sydossetien kan ha varit en retaliering eller enkel ogenerad ockupation. Det som är skrämmande är hur snabbt och massivt Internationella media fick det faktum att Ryssland skyddade sin provins Sydosetien till att bli en aggressionshandling.

Men, men inget nytt under himlen...

FRÅN INFORMATION CLEARINGHOUSE:

Bush's War in Georgia

Will it be the Flyswatter or the Blunderbuss?

By Mike Whitney

“I saw bodies lying on the streets, around ruined buildings and in cars. It’s impossible to count them now. There's hardly a single building left undamaged.” Lyudmila Ostayeva, resident of Tskhinvali, South Ossetia


11/08/08 "ICH" -- - Washington's bloody fingerprints are all over the invasion of South Ossetia. Georgia President Mikhail Saakashvili would never dream of launching a massive military attack unless he got explicit orders from his bosses at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. After all, Saakashvili owes his entire political career to American power-brokers and US intelligence agencies. If he disobeyed them, he'd be gone in a fortnight. Besides an operation like this takes months of planning and logistical support; especially if it's perfectly timed to coincide with the beginning of the Olympic games. (another petty neocon touch) That means Pentagon planners must have been working hand in hand with Georgian generals for months in advance. Nothing was left to chance.

Another tell-tale sign of US complicity is the way President Bush has avoided ordering Georgian troops to withdraw from a province that has been under the protection of international peacekeepers. Remember how quickly Bush ordered Sharon to withdraw from his rampage in Jenin? Apparently it's different when the aggression serves US interests.

Saakashvili has been working closely with the Bush administration ever since he replaced Eduard Shevardnadze as president in 2003. That's when US-backed NGOs and western intelligence agencies toppled the Shevardnadze regime in the so-called color-coded "Rose Revolution". Since then, Saakashvili has done everything that's been asked of him; he's built up the military and internal security apparatus, he's allowed US advisers to train and arm Georgian troops, he's applied for membership in NATO, and he's been a general nuisance to his Russian neighbors. Now, he has sent his army into battle ostensibly on Washington's orders. At least, that is how the Kremlin sees it. Vladimir Vasilyev, the Chairman of Russia's State Duma Security Committee, summed up the feelings of many Russians like this: "The further the situation unfolds, the more the world will understand that Georgia would never be able to do all this without America. In essence, the Americans have prepared the force, which destroys everything in South Ossetia, attacks civilians and hospitals."

True. That's why Bush is flying Georgian troops back home from Iraq to join the fighting rather than pursuing peaceful alternatives. Bush still believes that political solutions will naturally arise through the use of force. Unfortunately, his record is rather spotty.

But that still doesn't answer the larger question: Why would Saakashvili embark on such a pointless military adventure when he had no chance of winning? After all, Russia has 20 times the firepower and has been conducting military maneuvers anticipating this very scenario for months. Does Uncle Sam really want another war that bad or is the fighting in South Ossetia is just head-fake for a larger war that is brewing in the Straits of Hormuz?

Mikhail Saakashvili is a western educated lawyer and a favorite of the neocons. He rose to power on a platform of anti-corruption and economic reform which emphasized free market solutions and privatization. Instead of raising the standard of living for the Georgian people, Saakashvili has been running up massive deficits to expand the over-bloated military. Saakashvili has made huge purchases of Israeli and US-made (offensive) weapon systems and has devoted more than "4.2% of GDP (more than a quarter of all Georgian public income) to military hardware.

The Chairman of Russia's State Duma Security Committee, Vladimir Vasiliyev, summed it up like this:

"Georgia could have used the years of Saakashvili's presidency in different ways - to build up the economy, to develop the infrastructure, to solve social issues both in South Ossetia, Abkhazia and the whole state. Instead, the Georgian leadership with president Saakashvili undertook consistent steps to increase its military budget from US$30 million to $1 billion - Georgia was preparing for a military action." Naturally, Russia is worried about these developments and has brought the matter up repeatedly at the United Nations but to no avail.

Israeli arms manufacturers have also been supplying Saakashvili with state-of-the-art weaponry. According to Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz:

"In addition to the spy drones, Israel has also been supplying Georgia with infantry weapons and electronics for artillery systems, and has helped upgrade Soviet-designed Su-25 ground attack jets assembled in Georgia, according to Koba Liklikadze, an independent military expert in Tbilisi. Former Israeli generals also serve as advisers to the Georgian military." ("Following Russian pressure, Israel freezes defense sales to Georgia" Associated Press)

The Israeli news source DebkaFile elaborates on the geopolitical implications of Israeli involvement in the Georgia's politics:

"The conflict has been sparked by the race for control over the pipelines carrying oil and gas out of the Caspian region....The Russians may just bear with the pro-US Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili’s ambition to bring his country into NATO. But they draw a heavy line against his plans and those of Western oil companies, including Israeli firms, to route the oil routes from Azerbaijan and the gas lines from Turkmenistan, which transit Georgia, through Turkey instead of hooking them up to Russian pipelines.

Jerusalem owns a strong interest in Caspian oil and gas pipelines reach the Turkish terminal port of Ceyhan, rather than the Russian network. Intense negotiations are afoot between Israel Turkey, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Azarbaijan for pipelines to reach Turkey and thence to Israel’s oil terminal at Ashkelon and on to its Red Sea port of Eilat. From there, supertankers can carry the gas and oil to the Far East through the Indian Ocean." (Paul Joseph Watson, "US Attacks Russia Through Client State Georgia")

The United States and Israel are both neck-deep in the "Great Game"; the ongoing war for vital petroleum and natural gas supplies in Central Asia and the Caspian Basin. So far, Putin appears to have the upper-hand because of his alliances with his regional allies–under the Commonwealth of Independent States—and because most of the natural gas from Eurasia is pumped through Russian pipelines. An article in “Today’s Zaman” gives a good snapshot of Russia’s position vis a vis natural resources in the region:

“As far as natural resources are concerned Russia’s hand is very strong: It holds 6.6 percent of the worlds proven oil reserves and 26 percent of the world’s gas reserves. In addition, it currently accounts for 12 percent of world oil and 21 of recent world gas production. In May 2007, Russia was the world’s largest oil and gas producer.

As for national champions, Putin has strengthened and prepared Gazprom (the state-controlled gas company), Transneft (oil pipeline monopoly) and Rosneft (the state-owned oil giant). That is why in 2006 Gazprom retained full ownership in the giant Shtokman gas field (7) and took a controlling stake in the Sakhalin-2 natural gas project. In June 2007, it took back BP’s Kovytka gas field and now is behind Total’s Kharyaga oil and gas field.” (“Vladimir Putin’s Energystan and the Caspian” Today’s Zaman)

Putin–the black belt Judo-master–has proved to be as adept at geopolitics as he is at “deal-making”. He has collaborated with the Austrian government on a huge natural gas depot in Austria which will facilitate the transport of gas to southern Europe. He has joined forces with German industry to build an underwater pipeline through the Baltic to Germany (which could provide 80% of Germany’s gas requirements) He has selected France’s Total to assist Gazprom in the development of the massive Shtokman gas field. And he is setting up pipeline corridors to provide gas to Turkey and the Balkans. Putin has very deliberately spread Russia’s influence evenly throughout Europe with the intention of severing the Transatlantic Alliance and, eventually, loosening America’s vice-like grip on the continent.

Putin’s overtures to Germany’s Merkel and France’s Sarkozy are calculated to weaken the resolve of Bush’s neocon allies in the EU and put them in Russia’s corner. Putin is also attracting considerable foreign investment to Russian markets and has adopted “a ‘new model of cooperation’ in the energy sector that would ‘allow foreign partners to share in the economic benefits of the project, share the management, and take on a share of the industrial, commercial and financial risks’”. (M K Bhadrakumar “Russia plays the Shtokman card”, Asia Times) All of these are intended to strengthen ties between Europe and Russia and make it harder for the Bush administration to isolate Moscow.

Putin has played his cards very wisely, which makes it look like the fighting in South Ossetia may be Washington's way of trying to win through military force what they could not achieve via the free market.

On Saturday, President Bush issued this statement from Beijing: "We have urged an immediate halt to the violence and a stand-down by all troops. We call for an end to the Russian bombings and a return by the parties to the status quo of August 6th."

That was it. Bush then quickly returned to the Olympic festivities. He was last spotted at a photo op with the US girls volleyball team jumping up and down on the beach-sand in his wingtips. The pretense that Bush is leading the country has seemingly been abandoned altogether. Cheney is in charge now.

Meanwhile, Putin boarded a plane to Moscow as soon as he heard about the Georgian invasion and after angrily waving his finger in Bush's face. It's doubtful that the friendship between the two leaders will survive the present storm. America's gambit in the Caucasus has aroused the sleeping bear and put Russia on the warpath. There's no telling when the hostilities might end. The conflagration could sweep across the entire region. Currently, news agencies are reporting that Russian warplanes are pounding Georgia's military bases, airfields, and the Black sea port of Poti.

According to Bill Van Auken on the World Socialist Web Site:

"Much of the city (Tskhinvali) was reportedly in flames Friday. The regional parliament building had burned down, the university was on fire, and the town’s main hospital had been rendered inoperative by the bombardment."

Vesti radio reported that Georgian forces burned down a church in Tanara in South Ossetia where people were hiding, to the ground, with all the people inside. The Deputy Director of an information agency as an eye witness reported that fragments of cluster bombs of were found in Tskinvali. There have also been reports by a South Ossetian reservist that civilians who were hiding in basements were shot dead by Georgian soldiers.

Wikipedia reports that, "Russian soldiers captured group of American mercenaries on territory of South Ossetia. Group was captured near of Zare village."

An estimated 1,500 people have died in the onslaught and 30,000 more fled across the Russian border. Large swaths of the city have been reduced to rubble including the one hospital that was pounded by Georgia bombers. Georgia has cut off the water supply to the city.The Red Cross now anticipates a "humanitarian catastrophe" as a result of the fighting.

“I saw bodies lying on the streets, around ruined buildings, in cars,” Lyudmila Ostayeva, 50, told the Associated Press after fleeing the city with her family to a village near the Russian border. “It’s impossible to count them now. There is hardly a single building left undamaged.”

At least 15 Russia peacekeepers were killed in the initial fighting and 70 more were sent to hospital. Georgia's army stormed the South Ossetia capital, Tskhinvali, killing more than 1,000 fleeing civilians. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin told news agencies in an interview how the hostilities began:

Russian peacekeepers "were killed by their own [Georgian] partners in the peacekeeping forces. There is a Russian battalion, an Ossetian battalion, and a Georgian battalion... and all of a sudden the Georgians, Georgian peacekeepers, begin shooting their Russian colleagues. This is of course a war crime. I do not rule out that the Hague and Strasbourg courts and institutions in other cities will be involved in investigating these crimes, and this inhuman drama that has been played out."

According to South Ossetia's president, Eduard Kokoyti, Georgian troops had been taking part in NATO exercises in the region since the beginning of August. Kokoyti claims that there is a connection between the NATO's activities and the current violence.

Clearly, no one was expecting Russia to react as quickly or as forcefully as they did. In a matter of hours Russian tanks and armored vehicles were streaming over the border while warplanes bombed targets throughout the south. The Bush-Saakashvili strategy unraveled in a matter of hours. The Georgia president is already calling for a cease-fire. He's had enough.


Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has promised to spend $400 million to rebuild parts of South Ossetia. Large shipments of food and medical supplies are already on the way.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday:

"The actions of Georgia have led to deaths - among them are Russian peacekeepers. The situation reached the point that Georgian peacekeepers have been shooting at Russian peacekeepers. Now women, children and old people are dying in South Ossetia - most of them are citizens of the Russian Federation. As the President of the Russian Federation, I am obligated to protect lives and the dignity of Russian citizens wherever they are. Those responsible for the deaths of our citizens will be punished."

Indeed, but how will Medvedev bring the responsible people to justice; with tanks and fighter pilots or is there another way?


PUTIN'S OPTIONS: Flyswatter or Blunderbuss?

Sometimes war provides clarity. That's certainly true in this case. After this weekends fighting, everyone in the Russian political establishment knows that Washington is willing to sacrifice thousands of innocent civilians and plunge the entire region into chaos to achieve its geopolitical objectives. Bush could call the whole thing off right now; Putin and Medvedev know that. But that's not the game-plan. So, the two Russian leaders have to make some tough decisions that will end up costing lives. What choice do they have?

Putin needs to carefully weigh his options. Then, on Monday, he should announce that Russia will sell all $50 billion of its Fannie Mae mortgage-backed bonds, all of it US dollar-backed assets, and will accept only rubles and euros in the future sale of Russian oil and natural gas. Then watch as the Dow Jones goes into a death-spiral. Why use a blunderbuss when a flyswatter will do just fine.

Är det någon mer än jag som inser ironin i att Bolaget ThyssenKrupp Xervon är en stor arbetsgivare åt polsk arbetskraft i Sverige idag.

Walter Thyssen finansireade Hitlers kampanjer och både Thyssen och Krupp (och svenska SKF) utnyttjade gratis arbetskraft i polska koncentrationsläger under andra världskriget.

Vi har kanske inte kommit så långt i.a.f. !?

Happy 1 Maj!

Är det någon annan än jag som tror att Al (Play Dead) Gore och den nyvakna miljörörelsen bara är ett bekvämt globalistisk utspel.

Miljön är ett 'globalt' problem som regeringar 'globalt' måste enas kring! Yeah Right! Det är förvisso sant men inte syftet med den mediauppmärksamhet, inklusive Nobelpris, som frågan fått på sistonne. Nu skall vi luras och tro att det finns ett imminent 'globalt' problem som bara dom med makt kan handskas med. Save us!

Har du några källor till att militären skulle stå på Landvetter och vänta? Har inte läst igenom allt men ge mig gärna en vink, eller citat/referens.

Jag tycker det är ironiskt att kravallerna började bredvid Vhitfeldska för där ligger en av Sveriges mest exklusiva industriklubbar. En herrklubb för industriledare.

Skit i BennyDear!
Det är en gammal krank, homofob nasist, som inte fick några vänner efter att alla han kompisar gifte sig med invandrar flickor och fick vackra Café Au Lait färjade barn på 90-talet.

Stoppa inte invandringen det finns ingen suverän stat, ingen överlägsen ras. Knulla bara med tjejer från andra kulturer och bidra till naturens lag. Allt skall till allt bli.

Hmmm!
Skall vi leka detektiver?

Justina med en 'fackla' i sin hand (ljudsbäraren: lucifer) sitter på en skjöld (försvar) med namn Liberty. I andra handen Spear of Destiny (den som är vald att styra världen).

Strax bakom (men framför jordgloben) en bunt spö (Fasces) som symboliserar rätten att utöva straff. En världpolis el. "supreme judicial government".

Bakom det en lite jordglob med Nordamerika i centrum "FRAMFÖR" ett stort kugghjul symboliserande industrin.

På andra sidan:
En örn sittande på globen med åskviggar (krig) och palmkvist (fred) i sina klor (omnipotens). Fred åstadkommes med hot.

Andra myntet:
Justina med en Hemisfär i handen (den kännda världen) med spear of destiny, utan Fasces men med den Gryende Solen (Dawn of a New Era).

Tja tro vad ni vill! Jag skulle vilja gå i den skola där man lär sig använda symboliken.

Jag har sett rätt mycket av materialet som filmades runt kravallerna och helt klart är att Janne Josefsson ljuger genom tänderna i sitt reportage om stackars oskyldiga "Hannes", m.fl demonstranter vid Vasaplatsen.

Bland annat använder Janne ett klipp när två kravallpoliser trycker ner en demonstrant i en buske utan att visa att denne sekunder innan försökt att krossa en polismans hjälm genom att knuffa omkull honom och hoppa jämfota på hans huvud.

Bortsett från det måste polisen vara så professionell att dom skall kunna gripa skummet utan att använda några som helst vapen.

Polisen som skjöt hette stefan och tillhörde stans piketpolis och om jag vet vem det är (!?) är det en polis med Bad Cop komplex tillhörande Gbgs svar på A-turspiketen.

Men jag tror vi upplevde två saker i samband med EU toppmötet i Göteborg.

1: Säpo ville visa CIA/Secret Service hur duktiga dom var.
2: En generalrepetition av teoretiska polisutbildningar i kravallhantering.

Jag tror fanimej att dom jävlarna låg i beredskap. Så snabbt som dom kommenderade och belägrade stan med containrar måste ha varit repeterat. Det sätt på vilket dom gata för gata drev folket som boskap dit dom ville var stridslist på hög nivå. Jag blev själv fängslad på en bro.

Det tål att studera deras agerande för eventuella upprepningar.

Tack Blackie!

Det har snackats om PetroEuro eller en Basket of Currencies i ett tag nu. Och det är för Världens del en både bra och farlig utveckling. Många stora konglomerat och vissa länder (Arab Emiraten och England) har stora delar av sina tillgångar bundna till dollarn. Tom Kina har ju faktiskt enorma lån att kräva igen och vill inte att Dollarn kraschar. Dom kommer att göra allt för att hindra detta (PetroEuro) om dom inte samtidigt kan hitta ett substitut för att garantera Amerikas hegemoni.

Det är oundvikligen så att det finns för mycket dollar på marknaden och om det inte finns en eller flera varor som bara går att köpa med dollar krashar den Amerikanska ekonomin.

Jag kan tänka mig flera tillgångar. Internet, Genmodifierad mat, Rent vatten, Ren luft, Vaccin mot designade sjukdomar. Men det måste vara något som alla behöver och som är enkelt att kontrollera källa, produktion och distribution till världens marknader.

Quote:

Right on! Helt säkert fanns det professionella provokatörer i Göteborg den dagen. Vars syfte var att framställa fredliga demonstrationer och anti-bush / anti - krig, budskap som terrorism.

Petrodollarsystemet var 70 talets lösning på en säkerhet för dollarns värde. När anarkistiska stater (Iran & Venezuela) och snabbt framväxande superstater (EU, Kina, Indien, Sydamerikas Union) lämnar Petrodollarsystemet till fördel för Euros och andra valutor behövs ett nytt världsomfattande beskattningssystem.

Amerikanska Monsanto har som affärsidé att patentera naturens egna gener och äger idag många sädeslag. Nu söker dom patent på levande varelser som svin och kreatur.

Syftet är att licensiera, avgiftsbelägga och beskatta matproduktionen Internationellt.

Kan det vara så att vår mat kommer att bli framtidens dollargarant?

Jag har annat att göra än att försöka övertyga en redan religiös man. Ni blir så saliga på er påstådda kunskap att ni blir blinda för dom mest rudimentära frågorna. Och som alltid pratar ni om makthavarna och eliten som en enhet som om det bara fanns en agenda i världspolitiken.

Vi har haft den här diskussionen tidigare Benny.

Vilka dokument? Hur vet ni/vi att dom är äkta? När skrevs dom? Av vem? I vilket syfte? o.s.v....

Angående den Svenska politiken håller du ju i princip med mig. Sossarna har med svångremspolitik nedmonterat hela det svenska välfärdssamhället. Lagt ner sjukhus och outsource-at trygghetssektorn. Socialdemokraterna i samarbete med Vänstern och Miljöpartiet. Inte Moderaterna.

Det är otroligt att när en människa blir kidnappas av CIA och fängslas utomlands i tortyrsyfte är det ingen som reagerar. Men när man inte skall få leva fett på A-kassa massdemonstrerar alla som inte vill jobba.

Jag röstade på Moderaterna därför att jag varit ensam företagare i 15år och veta att det oftast är dubbelt så mycket jobb för hälften av pengarna. Socialdemokraterna har tillsammans med LO gjort massarbetslösheten till en politisk gisslan.

Industrin vill ha ner lönerna och kunna anställa snabbt och billigt; så dom älskar LO och Socialdemokraterna. Samtidigt hålls bidragstagande mammor och långtidssjukskrivna precis på gränsen och lovas mer varje val. (Medel som oftast bara lägs på högre moms så att man får mindre för pengarna i.a.f.) Så dom röstar med plånboken inte med hjärnan.

Under tiden blir en allt större del av befolkningen deprimerade och medicinerade för att dom inte har någon mening i sitt liv.

Det var tvunget att ta slut. Vi måste få nått att kämpa för...

Till sist! Dom så kallade "Kulturberikarna" vilket bara är en dold racistisk term har bidragit mer till vår kultur än vad vi vet. I princip allt i vår kultur är berikat från invandring och eller utländska influenser. Allt från Kåldolmar och potatis till vårt räknesätt och t.o.m. språket.

Den som är rädd för att förändras är redan död...

Såg ett klipp med en Amerikansk dam som påminde om att Polisen i USA skapades i Norr för att stävja arbetarrevolter och i Syd för att bevaka slavar. Så det ligger något i vad du säger. Vi kan kalla dom fångvaktar och legoknektar istället.

Polisloggan ändrades på 50talet så att dom två korsande fasches hamnade bakom skölden. Just p.g.a. av att det använts som Italiensk Fashistpartiets logo. Vet dock inte när den började användas. Om man stoppar i ett svärd eller yxa i Fasces bunten betyder det "rätt att utöva dödsstraff". Om du googlar Fasces i bilder ser man att det är en vanlig dekoration i domstolar och liknande.

Swastikan är en gammal centralasiatisk solsymbol och symboliserar återfödelsen. National Socialistiska Arbetarpartiet i Tyskland använde den spegelvänt. ASEA använde den som företagslogo fram till slutet av kriget. I göteborg kan man fortfarande se gamla spårvagnar med logon på hjulaxlen.

Jag är absolut ingen som har en övertro till statsapparaten eller dess syfte. Jag är mycket medveten om att det är en konstruktion vars egentliga syfte är att hantera människor såsom arbetare och konsumenter. Men som sådan är vår Svenska modell ganska bra om vi bara var lite mindre beroende av stormakterna. USA/EU. Då menar jag politiskt oberoende.

Men jag tror inte heller att dom som jobbar i statsapparaten är illvilliga. Det är människor. Dom vi talar om som konspirerar på överstatlig nivå är inte SÄPO eller ens utrikesdepartement. Det är snarare privata aktörer, akademiker och geopolitiska strateger.

Jag tro inte ens Rockefeller personligen är en så konspiratorisk människa utan överlåter det åt utrikespolitiska sakkunniga och liknande experter såsom Zbigniew Brezinzki, Paul Wolfowitz, GHW Bush m.fl.

Quote:

Dom som läst mina artiklar vet nog att jag jobbar med mycket fakta och försöker hålla mig till frågan istället för att blanda in UFO, Ödlor och Kinesiska Tempelriddare.

1: Fasces är som vi alla vet en gammal symbol som symboliserar "rätten att utöva straff". En bunt spö. Den fick sin nuvarande negativa betydelse först efter det att Fascisterna lånade symbolen och namnet.

2: Nej jag vet inte allt om SÄPO. Men jag vet att mycket fantasifulla vanföreställningar kommer sig av att folk inte har kontakt med verkligheten. Unga människor sitter bakom datorer och TV hela sitt liv och tror att alla Poliser är onda känslolösa individer. 99% av dem är troligtvis mer eller mindre vanliga människor som faktiskt tror att dom gör rätt. Vilket förvisso inte alltid är sant. Palmemordet är ett bevis på att det kan infiltrera alla möjliga svin i myndigheter och polis.

3: Det är en männsklig egenskap att vägra att tro att det finns stora världsomfattande konspirationer. Det är också en männsklig egenskap att förlora sig i icke vederlagda påståenden och bygga enorma teorier utan några bevis överhuvudtaget. Ta t.ex. Religion.

Är det ingen som är kritisk till information så kommer den ena lögnen bara att ersättas av en annan.
