How The World Works
One of the necessities of civilization is the recognition of the usefulness of thinking about tomorrow rather than just today. Another way to put it is to "think before you act" or "plan for the future." We are reminded of the barbarity—or so it would seem—of those who live in the present and never consider the future in the actions of some criminals and other individuals whose personalities are dominated by momentary impulses.

Contrary to myth being fabricated, Islam does not pose a threat to the West. Rather, Islamic “terrorist” organizations have been created to serve Western imperialistic objectives. These groups are intertwined with Western power through a network of occult secret societies. This relationship dates back to sixth century BC, and the birth of the Kabbalah, in Babylon; a plot to seek world domination through the use of magic and deception.

Notes : (1) Even the IMF, with the little imagination it possesses is now evoking the specter of civil wars throughout the world as the Telegraph reported on 02/01/2011, whilst The Onion of 01/24/2011 successfully uses black humour in a surprising article, yet indicative of the current atmosphere, that calls the designation by the World Heritage Foundation, sponsored by Goldman Sachs, of the "Gap between the world’s rich and poor" as the 8th Wonder of the World because of its now unparalleled size. (2) In quotes because we believe a decision maker who does nothing and an expert who knows nothing are, in fact, impostors. (3) The CIA and the French government provide two outstanding examples of this trend: they didn’t see it coming in Tunisia and Egypt, even though one spends tens of billions of dollars a year spying on the Arab world and the other walked (the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs) in the highest corridors of power of the countries concerned.

(2) The recent decision by the US Department of Labor to extend the inclusion of the measure of long-term unemployment in the US employment statistics to five years instead of the maximum of two years until now, is a good indicator of the entry into a new stage of the crisis, a step that has seen the disappearance of the “practices” of the world before. As a matter of fact, the US government cites “the unprecedented rise” of long-term unemployment to justify this decision.

How scenario planning and forecasting tools can help organizations prepare for the worst—or seize entirely new opportunities. F our years ago, the threat of an avian-flu pandemic catapulted up the agenda of governments, global health agencies, and companies.

Who is Behind Wikileaks?
"World bankers, by pulling a few simple levers that control the flow of money, can make or break entire economies. By controlling press releases of economic strategies that shape national trends, the power elite are able to not only tighten their stranglehold on this nation's economic structure, but can extend that control world wide. Those possessing such power would logically want to remain in the background, invisible to the average citizen." (Aldous Huxley) Wikleaks is upheld as a breakthrough in the battle against media disinformation and the lies of the US government. Unquestionably, the released documents constitute an important and valuable data bank.Wiki leaked common sense and Gulf aid down drain (video) - National Human Rights | Examiner.com

By Scott Stewart and Nate Hughes Over the past decade there has been an ongoing debate over the threat posed by electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to modern civilization. This debate has been the most heated perhaps in the United States, where the commission appointed by Congress to assess the threat to the United States warned of the dangers posed by EMP in reports released in 2004 and 2008. The commission also called for a national commitment to address the EMP threat by hardening the national infrastructure. There is little doubt that efforts by the United States to harden infrastructure against EMP -- and its ability to manage critical infrastructure manually in the event of an EMP attack -- have been eroded in recent decades as the Cold War ended and the threat of nuclear conflict with Russia lessened.
