President Bill Clinton survived his sexual escapades, because he was a servant to the system, not a threat.
- Prezident Clinton přežil sexuální aféru, protože byl služebníkem systému, ne jeho hrozbou.
But Strauss-Kahn, like former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, was a threat to the system, and, like Eliot Spitzer, Strass-Kahn has been deleted from the power ranks.
- Ale Strauss-Kahn, tak jako někdejší guvernér New Yorku Elliot Spitzer, pro systém hrozbou byl. Oba byli odstraněni z mocenských pozic.
disavowed the traditional IMF policy of imposing on the poor and ordinary people the cost of bailing out Wall Street and the Western banks
- Strauss-Kahn se distancoval od tradiční politiky MMF, která přesouvá náklady na záchranu Wall Streetu a západních bank na chudé a obyčejné lidi.
Strauss-Kahn said that regulation had to be reimposed on the greed-driven, fraud-prone financial sector, which, unregulated, destroyed the lives of ordinary people.
- Strauss-Kahn řekl, že je třeba zavést regulaci na chamtivostí řízený a podvodům nakloněný finanční sektor, který jako neregulovaný ničí životy obyčejných lidí.
Perhaps the most dangerous black mark in Strauss-Kahn's book is that he was far ahead of America's French puppet, President Sarkozy, in the upcoming French elections. Strauss-Kahn simply had to be eliminated.
- Snad největší nebezpečnější Strauss-Kahn představoval tím, že v šancích daleko vedl před Sarkozym v nastávajících francouzských volbách. Strauss-Kahn jednoduše musel být odstraněn.
It is possible that Strauss-Kahn eliminated himself and saved Washington the trouble. However, as a well-travelled person who has often stayed in New York hotels and in hotels in cities around the world, I have never experienced a maid entering unannounced into my room, much less when I was in the shower.
In the spun story, Strauss-Kahn is portrayed as so deprived of sex that he attempted to rape a hotel maid. Anyone who ever served on the staff of a powerful public figure knows that this is unlikely. On a senator's staff on which I served, there were two aides whose job was to make certain that no woman, with the exception of his wife, was ever alone with the senator. This was done to protect the senator both from female power groupies, who lust after celebrities and powerful men, and from women sent by a rival on missions to compromise an opponent. A powerful man such as Strauss-Kahn would not have been starved for women, and as a multi-millionaire he could certainly afford to make his own discreet arrangements.

- Je možné, že se Strauss-Kahn eliminoval sám a ušetřil tak Washingtonu práci, ale prezentovaný příběhe je nepravděpodobný.
Strauss-Kahn said that as he was the clear favorite to beat Sarkozy, he would be subjected to a smear campaign by Sarkozy and his interior minister, Glaude Gueant. Strauss-Kahn predicted that a woman would be offered between 500,000 and 1,000,000 euros (more than $1,000,000) to make up a story that he raped her.
- Strauss-Kahn předpovíal, že jako favorit voleb bude vystaven šmírování a pokusu diskreditovat ho historkou o znásilnění.
Even some of Strauss-Kahn's rivals said they could not believe the news
Strauss-Kahn is the first IMF director who is not lined up on the side of the rich against the poor.
Strauss-Kahn's suspicions were of Sarkozy, but Wall Street and the US government also had strong reasons to eliminate him.
Sabban
Wall Street is terrified by the prospect of regulation
- Wall Street je zděšen vyhlídkou na regulaci a Washington v rozpacích nad nedávnou zprávou MMF, že čínská ekonomika předběhne americkou do pěti let. Mezinárodní konspirace tak není vyloučena.
Washington was embarrassed by the recent IMF report that China's economy would surpass the US economy within five years.
An international conspiracy is not out of the question
As in the case of Julian Assange, there are now two women to accuse Strauss-Kahn
Once the prosecutors get the odds of two females against one male, they win in the media.
Libye- Jako v případě Juliana Assange, i Strauss-Kahn byl obviněn dvěma ženami (podobné obvinění před deseti lety). Dvě ženy proti jednomu muži, to je výhra pro média.

Press TV: I'd like to get your reaction to a statement by the head of Britain's armed forces that he's said that we need to increase the pressure for more intense military action. What further action is he talking about? Is this a prelude to, perhaps, ask for another UN resolution which may go for the famous “boots on the ground” scenario that many analysts said they have feared for Libya?
- Otázka: Šéf britskýsh ozbrojených sil chce intenzivnější vojenskou akci. Má jít o novou rezoluci OSN o vstupu na libyjskou půdu?
Roberts: I don't think the Chinese and Russians would permit that. They went along with the UN resolution because it was only a no-fly resolution; it doesn't allow the United States and NATO to intervene in the way that they are intervening.
- Nemyslím, že to Čína a Rusko dovolí. Předtím šlo jen o bezletovou zónu, rezoluce nedovolovala intervenci jaká nyní probíhá.
I think this has angered the Russians, and no doubt the Chinese, because this whole enterprise is directed against China. China has very large energy investments in Libyan oil which is in the eastern part of the country, largely.
- Je to celé namířeno proti Číně, Čína má velké investice do Libyjské energie,převážně na východě země.
The Americans were very much disturbed when the International Monetary Fund announced that the Chinese economy would surpass the American economy within five years. So, the Americans are using the fact that they still are the top dog to try to evict China from its African energy resources in order to deny the energy it needs for the continual development of their economy.
- Podle MMF čínská ekonomika předběhne americkou a proto se Amerika snaží Čínu odstavit od afrických zdrojů energie , které k rozvoji ekonomiky potřebuje.
So what Libya is about is Washington using the so-called Arab protests to evict China from the Mediterranean, North Africa, where we have oil investments.
- Využívají tzv. arabské protesty k vypuzení Číny ze středozemí, severní Afriky, kde má velké ropné investice.
Roberts: I think China and Russia made a mistake because they thought that Washington would respect the meaning of the UN resolution which was simply a “no-fly”; in other words, it was intended to stop Gaddafi from using his air force against the rebels.
- Čína a Rusko udělali s rezolucí o bezletové zóně chybu, chtěli zastavit násilí používané Kadáfim proti rebelům.
But, immediately, the air force was used to attack Gaddafi's forces from the air, and to try to kill him. They attacked him several times and managed to kill his son and several grandsons by air attacks.
- Letectvo však bylo rychle použito k útokům na Kadáfiho síly. Podařilo se jim zabít jeho syna a několik vnuků.
Washington will always put the most expansive possible interpretation on any UN resolution. I'm surprised that China and Russia trusted Washington. But if Washington and the British go back to the UN, I think this time China and Russia will veto it in the Security Council.
- Washington vždycky použije nejexpanzivnější výklad rezoluce OSN, případnou novou by Čína a Rusko vetovali.
But, maybe not because neither country is yet ready for a direct confrontation with the United States. It's not certain that they would veto it.
- Možná ne, protože žádná země není ještě připravena k přímé konfrontaci s USA.
All of this is directed against China and Russia. That's what the activity in Syria is about. We know for a fact the United States government has announced and admitted that it supports the opposition in Syria. Why?
- Celé je to namířeno proti Číně a Rusku. O tom je i aktivita v Sýrii, kde USA podporují opozici.
Because the Russians have a massive naval base in Syria, it's undergoing restoration and renovation, but by next year it's supposed to be completed. The Russians have announced that they'll be keeping aircraft carriers and guided missile cruisers. That's not what NATO and Washington wants in the Mediterranean. They do not want a Russian naval presence.
- Rusko má v Sýrii masivní námořní základnu, a chce tam mít letadlové lodě a řízené rakety. To Washinhton a NATO ve středozemí nechtějí.
The protests in Syria and Libya, unlike the ones in Egypt and Bahrain, are supported by the United States government because they are directed against China and Russia
and they want them evicted from the Mediterranean.
The governments don't serve their own people, they serve Washington.
Western Europe is nothing but American puppet states.
- Západní Evropa - to jsou americké loutkové státy. Jejich vlády slouží Washingtonu, ne vlastním lidem.
Washington wants to remain number one; therefore, it's going to deny China access to oil not just in Libya but also in Nigeria and Angola where the Chinese also have oil investments.
- Washington chce zůstat jedničkou. Proto Číně upírá přístup nejen do Libye, ale i do Nigerie a Angoly, kde má Čína také velké ropné investice.
Washington formed what they call the African Command, they call it AFRICOM. And this became effective in 2008, about two and half years ago. It's a military alliance and it's directed against China's economic penetration of Africa. They've got all but five African countries to join.
- Washington vytvořil africkou vojenskou alianci (2008), namířenou proti čínskému ekonomickému pronikání do Afriky. Připojilo se 5 zemí
Of course, Gaddafi would not. He said this is the Americans parting an entire continent, and he wouldn't join it. This is another reason, of course, why he is marked for losing the revenue part of his country. They may leave him with Tripoli but they're going to take away from him the oil revenues.
- Kadáfi to odmítl s tím, že tím chce Amerika rozdělovat celou Afriku. Mohli by ho nechat v Tripolisu, ale chtějí ho oddělit od ropných příjmů
The only thing that will stop the American drive for hegemony is the economic collapse of the United States. This could happen from the abuse of the United States dollar by the United States government and the Federal Reserve because they're printing dollars now like a third-world banana republic in order to finance the large government deficit.
- Jediná věc, která může zastavit americký tah za hegemonií je kolaps USA. Ten může způsobit zneužití dolaru US vládou a FEDem, tisknou dolary jako banánová republika třetího světa aby mohli financovat obrovský státní deficit.
So, it's entirely possible that the United States will commit financial suicide and not be able to complete its plans for world hegemony.
- Je docela možné, že Spojené státy spáchají finanční sebevraždu a nebudou schopny své plány na světovou hegemonii realizovat.
USA
Střední třída
| | May 12, 2011 - www.informationclearinghouse. |
Simple luxuries like taking a family vacation or just taking the kids out to eat is nothing but a distant memory to many American families who once considered themselves middle class and are now just fighting to stay off the streets. After one of the worst economic downturns in our history, families who were breathing easy, just a couple of years ago, are now buried in a mountain of debt and being forced from their homes.
- Jednoduchý luxus, jako vzít rodinu na dovolenou nebo zajít s dětmi do restaurace, je pro mnoho amerických rodin vzdálenou vzpomínkou.
- Považovaly se kdysi za střední třídu, ale teď bojují o to, aby neskončily na ulici.
- Po jednom z nejhorších ekonomických propadů v historii, rodiny, které si před pár lety stály docela dobře, se nyní topí v dluzích a jsou nuceny opouštět své domovy.

Obama has made a fundamental mistake. He has killed Emanuel Goldstein (bin Laden), the hate figure who justified the trillions of dollars we have blown trying to get him.
- Obama udělal fundamentální chybu. Zabil Emanuela Goldsteina (Bin Ladena), figuru, která byla ospravedlněním pro pro biliony dolarů vyhozených do vzduchu na jeho dopadení.
in Laden story is now set in stone, immune from fact.
In the interview, bin Laden says:
"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. . . . Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people. I have already said that we are against the American system, not against its people, whereas in these attacks the common American people have been killed. . . . The Western media is unleashing such a baseless propaganda, which makes us surprised, but it reflects on what is in their hearts and gradually they themselves become captive of this propaganda. . . . Terror is the most dreaded weapon in the modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people."
"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. . . . Whoever committed the act of 11 September are not the friends of the American people.

Terror is the most dreaded weapon in the modern age and the Western media is mercilessly using it against its own people."
- Laden v interview v r.2001:
- "Už jsem řekl, že jsem neměl účast v útoku na USA 11.září...
- Kdo to spáchal, není přítelem amerického lidu.
- Říkal jsem, že jsem proti americkému systému, ale ne proti americkým lidem, a při těchto útocích bylo zabito mnoho obyčejných Američanů.
- Západni média rozpoutaly bezdůvodnou propagandu, která nás překvapuje, ale odráží to co je v jejich srdcích a stávají se zajatci své vlastní propagandy...
- Teror je nejobávanější zbraní moderní doby a západní média ji nemilosrdně používají proti svým vlastním lidem."
But who would believe a demonized bin Laden, when to do so requires them to disbelieve George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Western media?
- Ale kdo uvěří démonizovanému Bin Ladenovi, když to znamené přestat věřit Bushovi, Cheneymu a západním médiím?
We all know, don't we, that in America the government always has the best interests of ordinary people at heart and always tells them the truth. If you don't believe this, you are anti-American.
- Všichni víme, že americká vláda má na srdci zájem o obyčejné lidi a vždy jim říká pravdu.
- Jestli tomu nevěříte, jste neameričtí.
Kapitalismus
| May 15, 2011 - www.sfgate.com |
According to lore, America is the bastion of free-market capitalism and China is the state-planning communist superpower. But facts, as they say, are tricky things.
- Traduje se, že Amerika je baštou kapitalismu svobodného trhu, a že Čína je komunuistická supervelmoc se státním plánovaním.
Perhaps no facts are more surprising than this one: more Chinese people than Americans support the idea that the free market is the best system.
- Ideu, že svobodný trh je nejlepším systémem však podporuje víc Číňanů (podle studie 67%) než Američanů (59%).
Across the globe, support for capitalism trends along with the strength, capability and willingness of the wealthy to bear their half of the bargain. Take for example Germany. Some 68% of Germans support "free market capitalism" as ideal, even though much of their political system is centered around what would be mistakenly derided as socialism here.
- V Německu 68% podporuje "kapitalismus svobodného trhi" jako ideální, ačkoliv většina jeho politického systému je soustředěna kolem chybně posmívaného socialismu.
The Great Recession of 2008 and beyond has realigned many political fault lines, including introducing the reality that capitalism has an unsavory side for many people.
- Velká recese 2008 a dále kromě jiného ukazuje, že kapitalismus má pro mnoho lidí velmi nepříjemné stránky .
Republicans and Democrats considering further cuts in the social contract, and tax cuts for wealthy folks or corporations, may want to reconsider in light of the study's findings.
Západ - neokolonialismus
USA - úžasný den
- Repuplikáni a demokraté by měli své záměry dalšího omezování sociálních kontraktů a snižování daní bohatým a korporacím přehodnotit.
Západ - neokolonialismus
| | May 16, 2011 - www.informationclearinghouse. |
Why Mainstream Media Refuses to Report the West's Shocking New Colonialism
- Proč mainstreamová média odmítají informovat o šokujícím neokolonialismu Západu?
To ask the question is to answer it. The Western mainstream media seems entirely controlled and beholden to globalist interests emanating in part from the City of London.
- Protože jsou zcela kontrolována a vázána globálními zájmy.
Reports and exposes of neo-colonialism are not likely to find a place on the front pages of the great dailies and weeklies of the old-line press – nor even on websites controlled by it.
There is another answer, too, that I will provide at the end of this article
- Je ještě jiná odpověď, kterou uvedu na konci tohoto článku.
Democracy is said to be on the rise in the Middle East, yet all democracy is evidently not created equal. Democratic movements in Egypt and Tunisia are said to have won out. Yet similar movements in Bahrain, Yemen and Saudi Arabia – inconvenient by Western standards – are neither encouraged nor widely reported.
- Říkají, že demokracie je na vzestupu na Středním východě, že demokratické hnutí zvítězilo v Egyptě a Tunisu. Ovšem podobná hnutí v Bahrainu, Jemenu a Saudské Srábii -nepohodlná západním standardům, podporována nejsou, ani široce zmiňovány ve zprávách.
This makes sense only when one realizes the truth about what is going on. The world's great, intergenerational banking families have embarked on a new spate of colonialism to disenfranchise their enemies and empower their allies.
- Světové největší mezigenerační bankéřské rodiny naskočily na novou vlnu kolonialismu.
Those regimes in developing countries that endorse power-elite goals will be allowed to function. Otherwise they will be destabilized.
- Režimům v rozvojových zemích, které podporují cíle mocenské elity bude dovoleno existovat, jinak budou destabilizovány.
Hardly a whisper regarding what is evidently and obviously a deliberate policy of "neo-colonialism" has been heard from the West's mainstream media.
- Ani zmínka o evidentní vědomé neokoloniální politice se prakticky v západních mainstreamových médiích nenachází.
In Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Yemen, the West, Western elites more and more are justifying torture, illicit imprisonment and outright murder.
The decline of civil society is not just rhetorical
Saudi Arabian troops have murdered and maimed hundreds of civilians at home and in Bahrain with the West's implicit blessing.
Neocolonialism's New Brutality is evident everywhere.
- Nová brutalita neokolonialismu je evidentní všude.
American troops invade Pakistan to attack the residence of a faux bin Laden, and kill, wound or capture whoever unfortunately resides there and then the country's leaders trumpet the raid as a great American achievemen
- Americké jednotky vstoupily do Pákistánu aby zaútočily na rezidenci údajného Bin Ladena, aby zabily nebo zajaly kohokoliv kdo tam naneštěstí bydlel a potom lídr země vytruboval výsledek jako velké americké vítězství.
The mind-bending spectacle of Western leaders celebrating the cold-blooded murder ("tapping") of a man who probably died years ago was only exceeded by the next wave of deliberate rhetoric that claimed that "unusual interrogations" – torture – helped reveal his location.
- Omračující představení západních vůdců oslavujících chladnokrevnou vraždu muže, který pravděpodobně zemřel léta předtím, bylo překonáno jen další vlnou rétoriky tvrdící, že "mimořádné výslechy" - mučení - pomohly odhalit tuto lokalitu.
The world's single super-power has, as Dick Cheney reportedly suggested it should, moved toward the Dark Side, and is taking much of the world with it.
- Jediná světová supermocnost se posunula na stranu zla a bere sebou kus světa.
Celebrations of killing, justifications of torture, the imposition of the hallmarks of a police state at home and the support of neo-colonialism abroad all inform us that America is changing for the worse.
- Oslavy zabíjení, ospravedlňování mučení, uplatňování znaků policejního státu doma a podpora neokolonialismu v zahraničí, to vše ukazuje, že Amerika se mění k horšímu.
Two terrible wars and incessant, unnecessary spending have virtually bankrupted the US. Yet war continues, poisoning the land with depleted uranium and killing women and children who get caught in the crossfire or bombed by misguided drone attacks
- Dvě hrozné války a neustálé, zbytečné výdaje prakticky USA zbankrotovaly. Přesto válka pokračuje, otravuje zemi ochuzeným uranem, zabíjí ženy a děti, které se dostanou do křížové palby nebo jsou bombardovány zbloudilými útoky bezpilotních letadel.
But the main issue – the most astonishing and unheralded even of the unfolding 21st century – is the West's sudden expansion of neo-colonialism and the accompaniment savage, reprehensible rhetoric by its leaders, especially in America, Britain and France.
- Ale hlavním problémem je západní expanze k neokolonialismu s doprovodnou nelitostnou a trestuhodnou rétorikou jejích vůdců, zejména v Americe, Británii a Francii.
Afghanistan and Iraq were just an appetizer after all.
- Afghánistán a Irák jsou vlastně jen chuťovky navíc.
Here is the answer I promised at the beginning of the article: We seem to be led, unfortunately, by beasts. Is that harsh?
- Tady je odpověď, kterou jsem slíbil na začátku. Zdá se naneštěstí, že nás vedou bestie. Je to drsné vyjádření?
| May 15, 2011 - www.countercurrents.org |
From here on out, let's have no more celebrations of anyone's death, but on that glorious day on which our government does not kill a single human being anywhere on earth, not with guns or drones or electric chairs, then let us sing and dance in the streets.
