All candidates are neo-imperial candidates – Wall Street proxy Jibril of "National Forces Alliance" presumed winner. by Tony Cartalucci July 9, 2012 – Ideally the West would like to install "liberal" pro-globalist candidates into power in each of the nations it has destabilized and destroyed during its premeditated, engineered "Arab Spring." In the case of Egypt where Mohammed ElBaradei was sufficiently exposed and his presidential aspirations effectively derailed, the West’s Muslim Brotherhood proxies made for a viable second option. In Libya, a similar scenario has unfolded with two tiers of Western proxies poised to take power – pro-globalist technocrats like US-educated Mahmoud Jibril (Gibril) Elwarfally’s National Forces Alliance, and of course NATO’s terrorist proxies within the Muslim Brotherhood along with Al Qaeda-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) warlords like Abdul Hakim Belhaj . In Egypt where relative economic and social stability returned after the brief chaos and violence of the early 2011 protests, the alternative media was able to sufficiently expose and disrupt "liberal" candidate ElBaradei.
Press TV – Tarpley.net July 7, 2012 Video : PressTV has conducted an interview with Dr. Webster Griffith Tarpley, an author and historian from Washington, to further discuss the issue. The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
It was reported that Libyan terrorists led by Abdul Hakim Belhaj , commander of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a US State Department-listed "Foreign Terrorist Organization ," had joined the so-called "Free Syrian Army " (FSA) along with sectarian extremists from Iraq who specialize in the indiscriminate terrorist bombings now ravaging Syria . In fact, the true nature of Syria’s "rebels" has become so well known, that recent attempts to sway public opinion with continued, but unsubstantiated reports of "atrocities" aimed at demonizing the Syrian government have been met with skepticism, doubt, and even indignation by the public – giving nations like Russia and China not only the opportunity to defy Western dictates, but a moral imperative to do so as well.
Ice Ages and Delayed Feedbacks – Shakun et al. Eli is posting a translation of an article by Jörg Zimmermann (one of the G&T six ), about the implications of Shakun et al, and how by clarifying much about the feedbacks that bring the world out of the ice age it shakes a core tenant of climate change denial. The implications, although Jörg backs away a bit at the end in an overly scientific display of humility, are world shattering.

Eli Rabett Eli Rabett Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves
I’m planning to write a post on how a revenue neutral carbon tax might, just might, have a shot in the US in the medium term. First though I have to disagree with William’s argument that a revenue-neutral carbon tax is the only way to go – or to be more fair, is the best political approach
