Opportunity knocks for the next economics idol

So there's really no new model for how to run this economy, and nobody's even, I think, thinking about that question, much less an answer."

Genocidal Cynicism  -  by Fidel Castro Ruz (Part 1)

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=27668

"I feel the duty to convey to those taking the trouble to read these Reflections the opinion that all of us, with no exception, are obliged to create awareness about the risks that humankind is running in an inexorable manner, towards a final and total catastrophe as the consequences of irresponsible decisions made by politicians whose fate, rather than talent or merit, has placved the destiny of humankind in their hands..."

Never mind Gen. Natynczyk, the French have it right: Jawr-jawr in Libya better than war-war!

Gen. Walter Natynczyk, Canada's Chief of Defence Staff, has raised the possibility of Canadian soldiers taking part in an invasion of Muslim North Africa.

Needless to say, this would be a really terrible idea, and even our bellicose Prime Minister's Office was quick to insist "we will not deploy boots on the ground in Libya." Still, the Postmedia News story published early this week definitely had the sound of a flag being run up the pole to see if anyone is foolish enough to salute.

Canadian media's narrative of the Afghan war suspiciously like a fairy tale

By

| July 15, 2011

The narrative of Canada's role in the Afghan civil war as told by the country's mainstream media is designed to lead readers and viewers to two inescapable conclusions:

First, that after 10 years, Canada's involvement in the conflict has come to a definitive end.

Second, that thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of Canada's troops, at least 157 of whom have died with scores more maimed physically and mentally, the West has triumphed unconditionally in Afghanistan.

Alas, the balance of probability is high that both these yarns are baloney.

It is equally likely that the people spinning these Afghan fairy tales know very well they are not true, and that they are designed principally to serve the political needs of the country's Conservative government.

So, how dumb are our American cousins, anyway?

Fidel on Haiti

The news arriving from Haiti paints a picture of the tremendous chaos that was to be expected given the exceptional situation created by the disaster.

Initial surprise, shock, commotion, the desire in the most remote corners of the Earth to provide immediate aid. What to send and how to do so to a corner of the Caribbean, from China, India, Vietnam and other nations located tens of thousands of kilometers away? The magnitude of the earthquake and the country's poverty instantly generated ideas of imagined needs, which give rise to all kinds of promises that they then try to deliver by any possible means.
