WAS DSK TRYING TO TORPEDO THE DOLLAR?

"Strauss-Kahn was mounting an attack against the dollar and now the wrath of the Empire has descended on him like ton-of-bricks. Here's the UK Telegraph:
'Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the IMF, has called for a new world currency that would challenge the dominance of the dollar and protect against future financial instability.'

(...) So, Strauss-Kahn finds himself in the same crowd as Saddam Hussein and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Saddam switched from dollars to euros about a year before the war. 12 months later Iraq was invaded, Saddam was hanged, and the dollar... was restored to power. Gaddafi made a similar mistake when he initiated a movement to refuse the dollar and the euro, and called on Arab and African nations to use a new currency instead, the gold dinar. Libya has since come under attack by US and NATO forces which have armed a motley group of dissidents, malcontents and terrorists to depose Gaddafi and reimpose dollar hegemony.
DSK actually poses a much greater threat to the dollar than either Saddam or Gaddafi because he's in the perfect position to shape policy and to persuade foreign heads of state that replacing the dollar is in their best interests. (...) Strauss-Kahn was rocking the boat, and now he's going to pay."

THE PEOPLE VS. GOLDMAN SACHS:

"America has been waiting for a case to bring against Wall Street. Here it is, and the evidence has been gift-wrapped and left at the doorstep of federal prosecutors, evidence that doesn't leave much doubt: Goldman Sachs should stand trial."

ROBERT FISK: PRESIDENT'S FINE WORDS MAY NOT ADDRESS THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL NEEDS:

"It is time for Americans to free themselves from their fear of Israel's lobbyists – in fact the Likud Party's lobbyists – and their repulsive slurs of anti-Semitism against anyone who dares to criticise Israel. It is time for them to take heart from the immensely brave members of the American-Jewish community who speak out about the injustices that Israel as well as the Arab leaders commit.

What Obama doesn't understand however is that, in the new Arab world, there can be no more reliance on dictator-toadies, no more flattery. The CIA may have its cash funds to hand but I suspect few Arabs will want to touch them. The Egypti...ans will not tolerate the siege of Gaza. Nor will the Palestinians. Nor the Lebanese and nor the Syrians (...). The Europeans will (...) will not forever let their lives be guided by America's fawning indifference to Israeli theft of property.
(...) Well, the old Middle East is over. The new Middle East is about to begin. And we better wake up."

PETER SLOTERDIJK: 'IK ZEG U: DE CRISIS ZAL EEN NIEUWE ELITE BRENGEN':

"Sinds het einde van de Kou­de Oor­log zijn we niet meer uit de cinema geraakt. Daardoor kon de stem van de werkelijkheid niet meer tot ons doordringen. (...) Wat wij nu elke dag in de kranten lezen, is dat de basale verhouding in de maatschappij die is tussen schuldeisers en schuldhebbers, tussen kredietgevers en kredietnemers. De arbeid is afhankelijk geworden van de kredietgevers. Als er geen krediet gegeven wordt, kan de zogenaamde Real-economie niet meer functioneren."

SEIT 2000: ISRAEL HAT 1.300 PALESTINENSISCHE KINDER ERMORDET:

"Falk ist seit dem Jahr 2008 Sondergesandter des UN-Menschenrechtsrates für die Palästinensischen Autonomiegebiete. Er ist Jude. (...) Nach Falks Angaben wurden die ermordeten Kinder vorsätzlich ins Visier genommen.
Die genannte Zahl rechnet jene Kinder nicht mit ein, die bei kriegerischen Handlungen israelischer Besatzungssoldaten gegen die Zivilbevölkerung ums Leben kamen.
Die getöteten Kinder wurden beim Fußballspielen, bei Spaziergängen am Strand oder in ihren Wohnungen beim Beobachten israelischer Besatzungssoldaten durch gezielte Schüsse ermordet."
