Geopolitical Implications of the World Economic Crisis

BRICS and the Mission of Reconfiguring the World
More than ever over the past decade, geopolitics watchers whose approach to international developments is – in line with the projections made by founders of the school of thought N.Ya. Danilevsky, O. Spengler, and A.J. Toynbee – premised in the assumption that distinct civilizations will overshadow countries and ethnic groups […]
Libya: ‘Winged Democracy’ in Critical Tail-Spin
Global war-mongers are seemingly in deep frustration. Despite huge investments in ‘people opposition movement’, disinformation campaign and eventual direct foreign intervention in Libya, the ‘anti-Gaddafi project’ has come to obvious deadlock.

Economic Justification For America’s Next War
December 2007 was the start of the global recession which after 21 months would be termed as the Great Recession. The consensus of a recovery is in doubt in spite of the massive stimulus from USA, Europe, Japan and Canada. Bernanke on 21 July 2010 “warned” Congress that the economic […]
The Impending Economic Defeat of the West
Credit Default Swaps (CDS)—what are they? They’re compared to like buying fire insurance on your neighbour’s house — you create an incentive to burn down the house. Except its not the neighbour’s house but the debt the neighbour has taken on. The higher the debt, higher will be the insurance […]
