The World at War

The way in understanding the United States imperial objectives is to understand their objectives in Iran. Condoleezza Rice in 2006 proclaimed that there were a couple of ways in dealing with Iran. Below is a list of ways in which the United States will attempt to penetrate Iran. The United States lust for world domination has only awakened the masses in the world stronger than ever. These key ingredients are what some Latin America nations need to look out for. In Fidel Castro reflections he acknowledges that the empire is on the offensive. If it continues on its path to destruction another possible world war can be concluded.

There was, for many years, a split in the administration of George W. Bush in regards to US policy towards Iran. On the one hand, there was the hardliner neoconservative element, led by Dick Cheney, with Rumsfeld in the Pentagon; who were long pushing for a military confrontation with Iran. On the other hand, there was Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State, who was pushing for a more diplomatic, or “soft” approach to Iran.



In February of 2006, Condoleezza Rice introduced a new Iran strategy to the Senate, “emphasizing the tools of so-called soft diplomacy. She called for ramping up funding to assist pro-democracy groups, public diplomacy initiatives, and cultural and education fellowships, in addition to expanding U.S.-funded radio, television, and Internet and satellite-based broadcasting, which are increasingly popular among younger Iranians.” She added that, “we are going to work to support the aspirations of the Iranian people for freedom in their country.” There were three main facets to the program: “Expanding independent radio and television”; “Funding pro-democracy groups,” which “would lift bans on U.S. financing of Iran-based nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), trade unions, human rights groups, and opposition candidates”; and “Boosting cultural and education fellowships and exchanges,” which “would help pay Iranian students and scholars to enroll in U.S. universities.”[52]

Barack Obama has not changed course and in fact he has increased Bush policies. The Empire is reckoning havoc all across the globe. Let us see into a distant future and prevent a catastrophic apocalypse.

Barack Obama brushes aside Lula Climate Proposals

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva isn't the only one not surprised about Barack Obama’s "Change" in United States policy. What more could we have expected from the United States? The people of Puerto Rican know all too well about the false promises made by the United States when it comes down to climant change. The people of Vieques would not have expected anything less. The people who live in Vieques continue to live in a land mine of exploded uranium shells and a radioactive waste land that has affected the coral reefs in the small island. Until this day the United States has not cleaned the mess it has made. Emerging reports are pointing out that many people living on the little island of Vieques have been diagnosed with cancer because of agents used by the United States military. The people of Puerto Rico already know about broken promises that are made by America's leadership when it comes down to climinate change policies. But could we have expected any less from a country that plunders the worlds resources? The people of Puerto Rico have something in common with President Lula de Silva and the people of Brazil. We salute our brothers in Latin America for standing on our side in saving humanity.

Lula Disappointed with U.S.-China Stance on Climate Change


ROME – Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Monday that he will telephone U.S. counterpart Barack Obama and China’s Hu Jintao to discuss the fight against climate change after Washington and Beijing agreed they are not ready to set targets for emissions reduction.

“I’m disappointed, but not surprised” at the agreement reached in Singapore between Obama and Hu, but “the United States and China must sooner or later propose their targets also, although it won’t be at the Copenhagen Conference,” Lula told reporters after meeting in Rome with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

The United States and China, the world’s biggest polluters, on Sunday dealt a blow to the climate conference that will begin Dec. 7 in Copenhagen after informing the Danish government that it will not be possible at that summit to achieve an accord that will set targets for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, the main factor in global warming.

Lula emphasized that he will go to Copenhagen regardless to defend Brazil’s climate proposals.

Last Saturday, Lula and French President Nicolas Sarkozy noted that the final objective of the Copenhagen summit is a worldwide reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by at least 50 percent by 2050 compared to their level in 1990.

Lula is in Rome to attend the World Summit of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. EFE
