US ‘intelligence’ agencies now realise the ‘Bin Laden’ tape has been a huge flop and the effect has been the reverse of that anticipated. It has also proven to be a monumental liability as people around the globe are now questioning the veracity of all allegations relating to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda; Howard and Blair beware, even the Arabs are questioning their ideological base. Well done Semitic ideologues, neo-cons and Straussians. External attacks are unnecessary, you are doing an excellent job on yourselves – no help needed or wanted! ... read full story / add a comment

The Danish Defence Intelligence Service predicts an ongoing very high level of threat to the Danish troops in Iraq, according to the government’s proposal to extend Denmark’s military presence

After the end of the next five months’ extension, due to be passed at the end of this month, the Danish Social Democrats and Social Liberals have stated that they will no longer support Denmark’s military presence in Iraq, since the government is not willing to set a deadline for withdrawal of the Danish troops.

Also, prize-winning journalist Bo Elkjær complains again to the Ombudsman about the Prime Minister's and the Minister of Foreign Affairs' refusal to give interviews. ... read full story / add a comment

Last month's Phoenix ran an interesting story indicating that the CIA are / were also using Baldonnel to refuel the aircraft that are used for their "extraordinary renditions". In the most recent January edition, the Phoenix reports that G2 (defence forces intelligence) have been trying to discover the source of this information rather than investigate the flights themselves.

Social cohesion has never been more fragile than in the present. Developing an effective survival strategy in an age of bankrupt ideologies (political and other) is a challenging but not impossible task. All known political ideologies have failed or are failing (including capitalism). The lack of viable alternatives betrays a beaten and retractive population not a shortage of options. ... read full story / add a comment
