THE BENGHAZI AFFAIR Weaponry, Murder, Lies, Sex |
 |
As a sex scandal the General David Petraeus episode hardly rates a
two-star: Youngish, married hotty likes toying with the Big Man on Base
when it pleases her and not much liking competition in the role.
Big Man ends up playing the fool for all to see.
No gory details at all are supplied.
Those will be in a book or two fairly soon. Keep watching for the
crazed passions of the most overhyped general in the history of the US.

(China Daily US Editorial, 1-11-13) Multipolar Not Bipolar World |
|
China should adhere to anti-hegemony stance, but ties with the US will
be more interdependent than confrontational
Now China is the world's second-largest economy, some have argued a
bipolar world is more likely than a multipolar one. However, China
should not seek to establish a bipolar world.
Choosing not to seek hegemony demonstrates China's foresight and clear
thinking. After its reform and opening-up, as its national power has
improved, China has repeatedly clarified that its peaceful path of
development and not seeking hegemony are strategic choices.
This is a judgment based on historical experience of a multipolar world,
recognition of the principle that win-win cooperation is the inevitable
global trend and the correct road to defend China's national interests. |

In the middle of both remained the poor cannabis plant. There were still many more votes on the side of cannabis prohibition. As always, those who never learned anything about the plant have been the ardent prohibitionists, many of them soaked deep in alcohol or tobacco. The sentiment of” Reefer Madness” is still there (and always will be). Story |

If Gold Could Talk
Jeff Clark,
Casey Research |
|
Have you ever had any doubts about gold? Does it sometimes feel like it
should be performing better? Are you concerned about its volatility? Do
you worry about how it might perform in the future? Have you ever
wondered about its true purchasing power? Maybe you're nervous about a
big drop in price again? I decided to go directly to the source to
address these concerns: Gold himself. He put his arm around me and asked
me to tell you a few things… |

HUMANITY’S FACTIONS: America’s 21st Century Revolution |
 |
There have always been competing factions in the contest for power over
others, now called politics and economics.
Parallels of political struggles are found in all societies,
whether a republic or an authoritarian state.
Which political faction may prevail over the others in a
particular conflict is often up in the air.
For the United States, today’s greatest world power, what can be learned
from these recurring struggles within humankind?
How could these predictable
dramas affect our fate following the coming implosion of the US dollar
and the reordering of the nation and the world economy?
