Q&A With the Head of Iran's New America's Desk
Last year, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered Iran's foreign ministry to create a separate desk for the Americas. Until then, affairs related to the continent of America were lumped together with Europe. The desk was mainly created in anticipation of expanding economical and political ties with both North and South America.
This week, top diplomats from Iran and the U.S. met in Hague to discuss security and stability in Afghanistan. It was the first such high profile meeting in 30 years. Deputy foreign minister Alireza Salari heads the Americas desk in Iran's foreign ministry. He is a career diplomat who served as Iran's ambassador to United Arab Emirates. In December he sat down for an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal's Farnaz Fassihi at his office in Iran's foreign ministry.

CNN: NEW WORLD ORDER ~ IT'S NOT JUST FOR CONSPIRACY LOONS NO MO':The U.S. and Europe, who have dominated the G-8, now have little option too but to accept a new world order.Obama hails the new world order
Last night British ministers said the real significance of yesterday's agreement was not the $1trn package but the enhanced role it gave to world institutions like the IMF, whose budget will triple to $750bn. "A new world financial order has been born, almost by accident, because of this crisis," one cabinet minister said. "These bodies have been revamped; now they need to raise their game."Glow Ballin' State of Delusions:
Based on his public statements, one has to conclude that Koh believes in a world government financed by global taxes.
With the nomination of Harold Hongju Koh, the Dean of Yale Law School, as the Legal Adviser for the State Department, President Barack Obama is putting a world government team in place under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Concert of Democracies: Same Old Globalism
The other key appointment was Anne-Marie Slaughter, the dean of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, as Director of Policy Planning at State. Slaughter wrote the 2004 book, A New World Order, and believes in an international system dominated by the U.N. and other global institutions and networks.
The bipartisan support of the idea is indicative of it becoming a serious reality at some point in the future. From the establishment right's John McCain and prominent neocons like Robert Kagan to liberal internationalists like Slaughter and Daalder, there are ardent promoters of the idea very close to our nation's centers of power.
While in the past, the UN served as the vehicle for globalists to achieve their desired goals, it would now appear that some very influential individuals are seeking a new and more effective strategy in the effort to achieve a "global covenant."
Whether the globalists achieve their goals or not, one can rest assured that America will find itself pulled further into costly, deadly, and unnecessary foreign interventions in the process.

Morris: Obama a 'Disaster' at the G20 SummitWell, it depends on what you want to achieve. I think it was a disaster, but it's probably a disaster he likes. Literally from April 2nd of this year -- that is, today -- it's a whole new world of financial regulation in which, essentially, all of the U.S. regulatory bodies and all U.S. companies are put under international regulation, international supervision. It really amounts to a global economic government.President Obama Holds Press Conference at G-20
OBAMA: All right. Here, I'm going to call on this gentleman right here. He's -- he's been very persistent.
QUESTION: Ray Chi Gou (ph) of China Central Television. It seems the world leaders have been talking about increasing the voice and voting rights of developing countries. I would like to ask two questions instead of just one. First one, on behalf of China...
OBAMA: I may choose which one I want to answer.

QUESTION: Oh, of course.
OBAMA: That's always the danger of asking two questions.

The GLOWBALL Islamo-Socialist Stimulus Plan:
“Islamic finance now extends beyond the traditional predominantly Muslim economies to become an increasingly important part of the international financial system.”
“Islamic finance implicitly embraces strong core values and universally beneficial characters.”
“The Islamic financial system derives its strength and stability from its faculty to uphold Shariah principles. The Islamic financial system thus has an in-built dimension that promotes financial soundness and stability, as it resides within a financial trajectory underpinned by the forces of Shariah injunctions.”
These are the words of Tan Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz, a prominent Bank Governor in Malaysia who has been an outspoken advocate of the Islamic financial system as an alternative to Western capitalism. Aziz has given speeches at Islamic finance summits pointing out the success of Malaysia’s Islamic-based economy and laying out a clear mission: “positioning Islamic finance as an integrated component of the International Financial System.”

The Latest Corporate Social Responsible News: Investing in...Genocide?This past week, TIAA-CREF upped the ante in its anti-genocide activism by pledging to push companies supporting the genocidal Darfur regime to reverse this complicity -- or face divestment. This applies immediately if invitations to meet with TIAA-CREF go unanswered by "target" companies that provide most support to the regime: PetroChina, CNPC Hong Kong, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Sinopec, and PETRONAS. Seven other companies have nine months to publicly announce "significant progress" before TIAA-CREF yanks them from its portfolios.They would have to go out of business entirely to sever all links to investments in genocide.

Bush’s bailout plan is now Obama’s Geithner's plan is a radical step away from the systemThe Paulson Plan was — as many suspected at the time — just the first step in a larger expansion of government power. Now Geithner proposes additional powers, discretionary and open-ended expansion of the government’s authority. How many more such steps will be necessary in the next few years? Where will this end?
Meanwhile Congress watches as our freedoms drain away, content to passively agree to each new rip in the Constitution.
Both Left and Right have warned about loss of freedoms, usually to jack-booted government thugs. Is it better or worse that this happens quietly, in tiny steps, though the growing power of well-dressed and mild-mannered bureaucrats?
Just for practice, while you read this chant “Baa, baa, baa.” But softly; please do not disturb the rest of the flock as we stroll into the pen. At the end are links to various expert reviews of the Geithner Plan.

Bang Bang Maxwell's Silver Hammer Came Down Upon Their Heads!The President Is 'Keeping Score'
"Don't think we're not keeping score, brother." That's what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.Flirting With Fascism:
So, let's do something here. I looked up the definition of fascism yesterday, and I want to — I want to break it down. The first part is — where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society's economic process through direct state operations of the means of production, fascism sought to control indirectly through the domination of nominally private owners.IT'S NOT FASCISM WHEN WE DO IT!

The measure -- originally drafted and introduced by Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John McCain, R-Ariz -- would require Defense to conduct preliminary design reviews before approving new acquisition programs, use more prototypes and install a new, independent director of cost assessment.Democrats Unveil Climate Bill
Obama endorsed the bill on March 4, while ordering a government wide review of contracting practices. He said he wanted the measure passed quickly and asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Deputy Secretary William Lynn (RAYTHEON) to work with Levin and McCain.

Murder and beatings return to Russia as Medvedev soaks up sunshine
The ugly face of modern Russia returned to haunt the Kremlin yesterday as President Dmitri Medvedev was being feted with fellow world leaders in London.One of Russia's leading human rights activists was recovering after being beaten up by a gang in Moscow. Lev Ponomaryov, 67, of the For Human Rights group, had spoken out in defence of the jailed anti-Kremlin oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky and was an outspoken critic of attempts to whitewash the crimes of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
A small opposition newspaper in suburban Moscow also announced that one of its journalists had died after being attacked while investigating local election fraud. Sergei Protazanov, who was disabled and had a prosthetic arm, died after doctors had discharged him from hospital.
