-- We are seeing an unmistakable pattern of British provocations of asymmetric warfare around the globe, particularly in the aftermath of the British Monarchy's failure at the recent Copenhagen conference.

By John Pilger
Global Research, December 31, 2009
In Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell described a superstate called Oceania, whose language of war inverted lies that “passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’, ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past’.”

Nat Rothschild’s career path – from playboy to plutocrat – has to be seen against the backdrop of his family history, studded as it is with eccentrics who were torn between loyalty to an immense and powerful name and the urge to break away from the clan.
His grandfather, Victor Rothschild, who died in 1990 at 79, set the pattern for much of the family in both business and lifestyle. While still at Cambridge University, he was a playboy who drove fast cars,… Continue

Υemen:

In the year 500 B.C., a Chinese Warrior and philosopher by the name of Sun Tsu wrote a small treatise entitled The Art of War, in which he said:
If a man knows himself and knows his opponent, he need not fear a hundred battles. If he knows himself but not his opponent, for every victory, he will suffer a defeat. If he knows neither himself nor his opponet, he will suffer defeat in every battle.
On Christmas Day, 2009, I received the following email from Donald Engel, from Iowa.
In one of your recent replies to a reader's comment [in Unfiltered News], you mentioned ever so briefly that a social credit system in the Western World is unworkable and has some fundamental flaws.
