posted 01/28/2011, 9:34 PM (Spiegel Online) [Category: Geopolitics] The German army received its last round of conscripts on Monday ahead of the official suspension of the draft later this year.

Bilderberg 2010: Jim Tucker's Final Report

Still, they hope to inflict much evil on the world. An unprecedented but fruitless effort to hide the Bilderberg meeting this year was conducting the Group of 20 (G-20) economic meeting in Busan, South Korea.

Strengthening NAFTA Ties and the Push Towards a Common Security Front
posted 06/09/2010, 4:48 PM (Be Your Own Leader) [Category: Geopolitics] As a result of the demise of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America, the NAFTA trilateral relationship has suffered. This has forced many of the SPP’s objectives to be funneled through various bilateral initiatives. Mexico’s drug war is also serving as a catalyst for more North American cooperation and integration in areas of border security, law enforcement and the military. Canada is being encouraged to further engage and commit itself alongside the U.S. in helping Mexi... (more) |
