Not only is Osterhaus the connecting person in an international network that has been described as the Pharma Mafia, he is THE key advisor to WHO on influenza and is intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in vaccines allegedly aimed at H1N1...

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Obama Presidential agenda is how little anyone has questioned in the media or elsewhere why at all the United States Pentagon is committed to a military occupation of Afghanistan. There are two basic reasons, neither one of which can be admitted openly to the public at large... Click here to continue reading

Inaugurated in February 2008, this "frozen Noah's Ark" is back in the news following UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon's recent visit ahead of the key international climate talks in Copenhagen in December 2009. In this article, written in December 2007, F. William Engdahl comments that, when Gates, Rockefeller and Agribusiness get together on a project, it is prudent to take notice. If past deeds are any indicator, those who have taken it upon themselves to locate and store seeds in this secure facility are not benevolent servants of humanity, nor the preservers of life...

Relations between the US and Bolivia have been tense ever since Evo Morales became president in December 2005, pledging to nationalize his country's vast gas reserves. They hit a critical point in September 2008 when Morales ordered the expulsion of the U.S. ambassador, accusing him of fomenting the civil unrest that threatened not only the country's first indigenous Indian president but the unity of the nation itself. The latest news report that Russia will sign an agreement with the Bolivian government to explore and produce natural gas is a significant setback for US domination of its traditional Latin American sphere of influence...

One of the great mysteries surrounding the spread of GMO plants around the world since the first commercial crops were released in the early 1990's in the USA and Argentina has been the absence of independent scientific studies of possible long-term effects of a diet of GMO plants on humans or even rats. Now the real reason has come to light: the GMO agribusiness companies like Monsanto, BASF, Pioneer, Syngenta and others prohibit independent research... Click here to continue reading

After the tragic events of July 5 in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, it would be useful to look more closely into the actual role of the US Government's "independent" NGO, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). All indications are that the US, once more acting through its "private" NGO is massively intervening into the internal politics of China. Engdahl's article ties in with Voltaire Network's consistent reporting on the covert action of the NED and "sister" organizations aimed at destabilizing countries of strategic interest for Washington under the guise of liberty and democracy...

The French Government is developing secret plans to impose mandatory vaccination of the entire French population, allegedly against possible Swine Flu disease according to reports leaked in a French newspaper. The plan is without precedent and even defies recommended public health advice. Pharmaceutical giants benefit from the move, as the Swine Flu increases the trend to militarization of public health and use of needless population panic to advance the agenda...

In a just-released position paper on GMO foods, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) states that 'GM foods pose a serious health risk' and calls for a moratorium on GMO foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes 'there is more than a casual association between GMO foods and adverse health effects' and that 'GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.' The report is a devastating blow to the multibillion dollar international agribusiness industry, most especially to Monsanto Corporation, the world's leading purveyor of GMO seeds and related herbicides...

President Barack Obama's stop in Turkey was hardly an afterthought, a "while I'm in the neighborhood" visit and it was far more momentous than the president's speech would suggest. For Washington, Turkey today has become a geopolitical "pivot state" which is in the position to tilt the Eurasian power equation towards Washington or significantly away from it, depending on how Turkey develops its ties with Moscow and its role regarding key energy pipelines...

Turkish President Abdullah Gül and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a joint declaration in Moscow on 28 February 2009 aimed at deepening friendly relations and improving multidimensional cooperation between the two countries, with the Russian side defining the declaration as a "strategic document." Despite the problems of the ruble and the weak oil price in recent months for the Russian economy, the Russian Government is pursuing a very active foreign policy strategy. Its elements focus on countering the continuing NATO encirclement policy of Washington, with often clever diplomatic initiatives on its Eurasian periphery... Click here to continue reading
