The last few days …

December 14, 2009

It’s been pretty busy news-wise the last few days, we’ve had:

  • The ongoing trials and tribulations of the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal have continued as sponsor Accenture terminates partnership with the golf champ after six years but other sponsors such as Tag Heuer and Gillette decide to stand by their man, Tag Heuer releasing the statement that Woods is ‘the best in his domain’. Meanwhile, it looks like his wife, Elin Nordegren, has possibly bought a $2 million secluded house in Sweden, perhaps where the couple will sit out for the next few months and escape the media spotlight. No doubt of some comfort to Tiger is that Playgirl magazine has decided not to publish nude photographs allegedly of the golf star, as they can not verify 100% whether the photos are indeed of him.
  • Silvio Berlusconi was attacked by a projectile whilst signing autographs during a rally in Milan. The attack left the Italian Prime Minister with a bloody face and in considerable pain with a broken nose and two broken teeth. He will remain in hospital for the next thirty-six hours. His attacker allegedly has a history of mental illness.
  • Last month it was revealed that North Korea had been building bunkers under the DMZ from 2004 until 2008 during the leadership of South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, whilst the two nations had a relatively closer relationship than now under the failed ‘Sunshine Policy’, which aimed to bring closer ties and trade with the view towards eventual reunification between the two Koreas. North Korea was found to have built 800 bunkers between 2004 and 2008, and had planned 1,000 bunkers all in all. Despite the Sunshine Policy, North Korea had plans and made war preparations with a look towards possible invasion by ground troops.
  • Meanwhile, just one week after US envoy Stephen Bosworth’s trip to Pyongyang, Thai authorities in Bangkok, following on a US intelligence tip, have seized a plane from North Korea piloted by a Belarussian and with four Kazahk crew members which contained a large amount of powerful weapons, in clear violation of UN-imposed sanctions on North Korea. The planned final destination of the plane is thus far undetermined.
  • And last, but definitely not least, straight off the press and Twitter. The Copenhagen Climate Summit has been suspended and is in chaos as member nations of the G77,which represents 130 developing nations, have decided to walk out of the Conference due to what they believe is Western reluctance to discuss a legally binding emissions treaty. This is coming after last week’s leak of a document supposedly delivered to developed nations in which they would sign a secret deal amongst themselves between the scenes of the Copenhagen Climate summit. No doubt more news on this to come…

The Obama Deception?

March 17, 2009

Came across an interesting documentary just released, entitled The Obama Deception’. It’s directed by American radio talk-show host and documentary filmmaker Alex Jones and takes a very critical, at times completely alarmist, look at Barack Obama with the belief that he is merely the latest puppet of the Global elite, the hidden powers governing the true powers that be – Wall Street and the global economy, under the guise of secret organisations such as the Bilderberg Group and Trilateral Commission. The documentary examines Obama’s pre-election promises and often contradictory decisions once in power with the view that he is merely following the commands of his master, ‘The New World Order’. Early in the documentary it’s mentioned that the last President to defy the commands of his master was none other than JFK and as a result all US Presidents since have been – to varying degrees – compliant as they well know the penalty for dissension. This documentary isn’t pulling any punches – it lays it all out there as you’ll discover if you watch it!

The documentary’s very extreme and over-sensationalised in many sections, but also is very thought-provoking and eye-opening. If 10% of what is said is or turns to be true (that’s if we ever actually will know), then it will be scary enough.

Was I, along with millions of others across the US and world duped into believing Obama is any different from the Presidents before him? Is he a wolf in sheep’s clothing?  Is he merely the latest puppet of Wall Street and the global elite? Was this economic downturn manufactured to tailor in widespread panic under which national Governments’ can usher in more restrictions, laws and taxes? Is human-induced Global warming a load of bs? The documentary raises these and many other compelling questions and I guess only time will tell, or perhaps we’ll continue to be too blind to see the truth – whatever it may be?

Not fully sure yet just what to believe and not believe from the nearly two hour documentary, but it was interesting all the same and definitely worth a look at:
