Serbia and Israel: Shared Glory and Tragedy
By Victor Sharpe Monday, May 13, 2013
Tomislav Nikolic, the president of Serbia, has just began an official state visit to Israel. This is the first time that President Nikolic has traveled to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem, and perhaps the first time a leader of Serbia has done so.
Defending Freedom in North Korea’s ShadowBy Heritage Foundation Thursday, May 9, 2013
To lead the nation always under threat from North Korea, backbone is required. As the president of South Korea has demonstrated over her past two days in Washington, she is a vital figure at this time in history.
The North Korean Nuclear Crisis: Lessons for the Iranian Case?By INSS Sunday, April 21, 2013
North Korea is well known for its repeated provocations of South Korea and the United States in the context of efforts over the past decade to negotiate a deal in the Six-Party framework that would result in North Korean nuclear disarmament.
The Korean Crisis, China-US Relations, and the Global SystemBy INSS Friday, April 12, 2013
The Korean Peninsula is reaching the boiling point. On February 12, 2013, after a series of harsh verbal exchanges between North Korea and the international community, Pyongyang announced that it had conducted a third nuclear test. Some three and a half weeks following, the United Nations Security Council approved new sanctions against North Korea, and less than one week later the United States and South Korea undertook a joint military exercise.
Cyprus Looting & Socializing the Losses: The Global Banksters who redefined Theft into “Haircut”
By Marinka Peschmann Friday, April 12, 2013
Once upon a time a haircut meant “the act or an instance of cutting the hair.” In recent years, unbeknownst to an unsuspecting, trusting public, the slang stock exchange expression of “haircut” has become an acceptable banking practice to collectively apply to your bank accounts, according to the central bankers, world leaders and shadowy banker cabals like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Basel Committee. Just ask the folks in Cyprus.
“Haircut” in stock exchange slang means: “a percentage of the value of an asset deducted to account for possible fall in its value before it can be liquidated?” Translation: we can take your money that’s in our banks before you can get it. Ha! Ha! Suckers!
The Pyongyang-Tehran Proliferation PlaybookBy Claudia Rosett Wednesday, April 10, 2013
Clearly the dangers posed by North Korea reside not only in its arsenal, but in the precedents Pyongyang keeps setting for just how much a rogue regime can get away with in this era of receding American power. As North Korea hones its missile reach and nuclear abilities — while threatening to incinerate Seoul,Washington and U.S. bases in the Pacific — it appears the limits of such behavior have yet to be discovered. That spectacularly dangerous message is surely being read with interest by other anti-American regimes, especially by North Korea’s chief partner in proliferation, Iran.
The Torch Passes: Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)By Frank Gaffney Jr. Tuesday, April 9, 2013
The death of Margaret Thatcher marks the passing of a generation of leaders who literally remade their world. The former British prime minister was universally known as the “Iron Lady” for her steadfast commitment to anti-communist and free-market principles. Her passing is a loss to her people, to Americans – who knew in her time the full meaning of a “special relationship” between her country and ours, and to the Free World in which she was a truly heroic figure.
Unmasking the Globalists behind the Cyprus Confiscation (Bail-In) ModelBy Marinka Peschmann Tuesday, April 9, 2013
First it was people with bank accounts in Cyprus whose deposits were confiscated, “bailed-in,” or given a “haircut,” without their knowledge to recapitalize the Bank of Cyprus after Laiki Bank went bankrupt and was allowed to fail. Next the U.S., U.K., and Canada were warned that their bank deposits could meet the same Cyprus -confiscation fate based on irrefutable documentation here.
South Koreans are getting a little nervous
By Dan Calabrese Thursday, April 4, 2013
It still seems more likely than anything else that Kim Jong Un is just blustering very clumsily. But there’s no way to be sure, and if you live in the South and you’d been used to shrugging off similar nonsense from his father and grandfather before him, you can’t help but notice that it has a different feel to it this time. No one can be sure we haven’t finally found ourselves facing the sort of delusional potentate who really thinks he can poke the tiger in the nuts and walk away without getting mauled. The Washington Post:
North Korea working overtime on ‘U.S. invasion’ propaganda filmsBy Robert Laurie Monday, March 25, 2013
North Korea really specializes in releasing weird anti-western propaganda films. You may recall the bizarre “We Are the World” spot they created last year. Then a few weeks ago, we saw them release clips showing New York in flames and Barack Obama burning in the wake of an apparent nuclear attack.
Who Exactly is Helping the Taliban? The Ungrateful and Corrupt Mr. Karzai….By William Kevin Stoos Wednesday, March 13, 2013
“Ungrateful”—thy name is Karzai. Look up the word in Webster’s Dictionary and you see his picture. Recently the President of Afghanistan had the audacity to suggest that the United States is working secretly with the Taliban and against the interests of Afghanistan. Yep, the United States—the country which has spent billions building up their infrastructure, supporting his corrupt government so there is an alternative to the pipe wielding misogynist, cave-dwelling, religious zealots who want to return the country to the glorious seventh century.
The Gruesome Reality of Racist South AfricaBy Arnold Ahlert Monday, March 11, 2013
For decades, the country of South Africa was the focus of an international rallying cry against the injustices of apartheid. On June 17, 1991, South Africa’s Parliament abolished the legal framework for the practice of racial persecution. In 1994, Nelson Mandela and his Marxist African National Congress (ANC) assumed the reins of power. The international community looked away, satisfied that justice had prevailed. They continue to look away, even as South Africa has degenerated into another racist pit, best described by an Afrikaner farm owner: “It’s politically correct to kill whites these days.”
