People around the globe are more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow more quickly than ever.
Goods and services produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in all parts of the world. International travel is more frequent and international communication is commonplace. Globalization is an economic tidal wave that is sweeping over the world. It can’t be stopped, and there will be winners and losers. But before drawing any conclusions on how it affects the U.S. economy, consider some of the general cons and pros of globalization.

MoA, b on February 9, 2017
Ten-thousands, and soon hundred-thousands die in Yemen as result of zealotry, greed and bureaucratic infighting of foreign countries. The Wahhabi Saudis fight in Yemen against Iranian Shia that ain't there. Under the eyes of the CIA they nurture local al-Qaeda forces to do their bidding. The UAE seeks new ports in Yemen thereby disturbing Saudi pipeline dreams. The Pentagon tussles with the CIA over budgets of special operations. The minor local Yemeni conflicts between the various tribes develop into a war due to foreign interference and financing. Bombing campaigns have replaced tribal mediation.
The executive branch of the United Nations is under pressure from the U.S.-Saudi coalition. It is not allowed to report on the real consequences of the devastating war on Yemen. The leads to rather comical assertions.
On August 31 2016 the UN coordinator on Yemen Jamie McGoldrick said that 10,000 people had died due to the war on Yemen:
Speaking from the capital Sanaa on Tuesday, Jamie McGoldrick, the UN humanitarian coordinator said the new figure was based on official information from medical facilities in Yemen.
The number could rise further, McGoldrick said, as some areas had no medical facilities, and people were often buried without any official record being made.
"We know the numbers are much higher but we can't tell you by how much," McGoldrick told reporters
On January 17 2017 the UN coordinator on Yemen Jamie McGoldrick said that 10,000 people had died due to the war on Yemen:
"[T]he estimates are that over 10,000 people have been killed in this conflict and almost 40,000 people injured", UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen Jamie McGoldrick told reporters in the capital Sanaa on Monday.
He did not provide a breakdown between civilians and combatants.

Thousands more Yemeni children will likely die of hunger due to Trump's unreserved support for Saudi Arabia's war.Thousands more Yemeni children will likely die of hunger due to Trump's unreserved support for Saudi Arabia's war. (Image: Jared Rodriguez / Truthout)
The Trump administration's truculent warning last week that it was putting Iran "on notice" over its recent missile test and a missile strike on a Saudi warship off the coast of Yemen appears calculated to convince the American public that the current administration is going to be tougher on Iran than the Obama administration was.
However, despite the tough talk from National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and other senior officials, the new administration appears to be focused primarily on aligning US policy more closely with that of Saudi Arabia -- especially in its war in Yemen and its broader conflict with Iran. The Saudis have been leading a coalition of Sunni Gulf regimes in bombing most of the Yemeni territory controlled by Houthi rebels since March 2015, with US support.
An unidentified senior administration official speaking at a February 1 press briefing, a transcript of which Truthout has obtained, indicated that, apart from economic sanctions, the administration was considering options "related to support for those that are challenging and opposing Iranian malign activity in the region" -- meaning the Saudis and Israel.
During the briefing, the senior officials signaled clearly that the Trump administration will unconditionally support the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen. In response to the question of whether the administration was "reassessing" US support for the Saudi war in Yemen, the unnamed senior official answered with one word: "No."
The Trump administration's lack of public reservation about the indiscriminate Saudi-led bombing campaign, as well as its lack of interest in exerting pressure on the Saudis to end the war by accepting a compromise with the Houthis and the forces of former Yemeni president Saleh, significantly increases the likelihood that the Saudi bombing will continue indefinitely. That means that the food shortage that is killing thousands of Yemeni children will probably become far worse in the coming months.
The Saudi attacks' devastating impact on nutrition in Yemen has long since eclipsed direct results of the bombing as a cause of death. No estimates of deaths from starvation have been given by relief organizations but UNICEF reported in December that 462,000 Yemeni children already suffer "severe acute malnutrition," a life-threatening condition in which their bodies shrink to little more than skeletons. Another 1.7 million children currently suffering from "moderate acute malnutrition" are at risk of crossing the threshold to severe malnutrition.
The main cause of a humanitarian crisis worse than in Syria is the Saudi coalition blockade by naval ships and aerial bombing of the main commercial port in the area controlled by the Houthis, which has sharply limited commercial and humanitarian shipments of food, fuel and drugs to the populations targeted by the bombing.
The Obama administration had approved the Saudi-led bombing campaign before it started and had provided aerial refueling to Saudi coalition planes carrying out the bombing. The Obama administration had also replenished the coalition's supply of bombs and supplied intelligence to its planners, long after it had evidence of war crimes against the population in Houthi-controlled areas. It tried to persuade the Saudis to negotiate seriously with the Houthis but refused to force the issue of ending the war. Now, the Trump administration appears to be encouraging the Saudis to impose a military solution, regardless of the mass starvation it will continue to cause.

Vid Former CIA Case Officer Robert David Steele - A Message to Donald Trump on The Hagmann Report 2/7/17
Published on Feb 8, 2017
Former CIA clandestine services case officer Robert David Steele provides in-depth information about what Donald Trump needs to do to survive his term and make the changes he desires - changes that will have a positive impact on America.
Mr. Steele identities those who are in President Trump's inner circle but do NOT have his best interests at heart.
This information-packed and fascinating interview is loaded with critical information about how Trump won, what he needs to do forthwith to remain viable, and what the future might hold if he does not.

While living in Pensacola Beach, Florida, I would have a beer at a little beach bar, where I met a gentleman who worked as a consultant on embassy security. He had been a marine assigned to security at embassies before leaving and establishing his own company. We had many conversations over time since I traveled extensively he showed an interest. He told me US embassies were not intended to be the representation of the US to the host country, but as a base to further US political interest, corporate interest and security interest (i.e. CIA). No doubt, this can be said of other countries as well, but what he told me next totally surprised me. He suggested if I was ever in a country during a major coup or social upheaval, I should never go to the US embassy. He suggested I go to the Canadian embassy saying I was unable to reach the US embassy. He said the Canadians would get me out of the country with their own people. The most shocking thing he told me was the most important thing for the US is policy. If coming to my aid in a country jeopardizes any ongoing US policy, then expect no help from US authorities, I would be on my own. He suggested I read up on Americans caught up in the coup against Salvadore Allende by Agusto Pinochet in Chile, which I did. It was obvious that US policy trumps people, since the coup was engineered by the US. The life of foreign nationals is only a concern to the US if it furthers the goals of US policy. It appears even American lifes have become an expendable quantity along with 500,000 children in Iraq.

If the CIA gets sanitized, the ejectees would be welcomed at Facebook, I'm sure.

Does anyone remember the sorta fictionalised scene in "The Good Shepherd" of a conversation between an ersatz Lucky Luciano and an ersatz James Jesus Angleton?
Angleton has dropped into Cuba just before Castro is about to toss out all the amerikan gangsters. He's gone there to elicit 'mafia' assistance in fighting Castro. Luciano sort of agrees but you can see on one level (prolly his prole roots) the plan deeply offends him so he says to Angleton "We (Italian Americans) have got our families and food, the Irish have family and the Homeland, hell even the n*ggers have got their music, but what have you people got?"
Angleton fixes him with a cold look and says "we have the United States of America, the rest of you are just visitors".
The CIA can pretend to hire diversity, the token players let in are always suborned to the cause, but the CIA is the last bastion of the WASP it always will be and will never change, they don't care how many children die in Yemen or anywhere else 'out there in the world' because in their eyes none of the 'others' are people, they are just things to be used then discarded.

Ergo, sum. Posted by: Even More Outraged Ji | Feb 9, 2017 4:03:56 PM | 12

I think that b is closer to the "real explanation". Of course, when wars are concerned, there is always a number of independent justifications, and if you probe deeper, they are not entirely convincing. One reason is that war is its own justification. There is a class of people that simply like wars. So they interpret geological news, tenets of religion, writings of ancient Greek philosophers and what not to justify wars. For a royal, the pleasure of winning a war cannot be simply substituted what a harem full of comely girl, tons of captagon or other pleasures that money can buy.
In the Western world the war in Yemen is justified rather perfunctorily. Few people care, a bit more people are in touch with the stream of money for weapons, friendly publicity etc. so they produce some clap trap. And the princes spent many billions of weapons, and, even better, selecting very overpriced and lucrative ones. That automatically leads to the support from weapon companies which, in turn, are employers of retired general, so active duty generals have an interest in the future employers being fat and happy. Some scraps go to think tankers and other flacks.
To refute "untapped oil and gas reserves" as motivation, Yemen would cheerfully give the access to those reserves, as it was the case with already documented oil and gas. And the true movers are the Saudis who really do not need to seek "untapped reserves" in Yemen. Perhaps a little bit of mayhem in Yemen, Libya, Iraq and Syria does lessen the glut of oil, but the waste of funds is so enormous that it is hard to make these war "pay for themselves".

Muslim allies of Saudi Arabia piled pressure on UN chief Ban Ki-moon over the blacklisting of a Saudi-led coalition for killing children in Yemen, with Riyadh threatening to cut Palestinian aid and funds to other UN programs, according to diplomatic sources.
Palestinians might be interested to know how easily their Saudi patrons are ready to throw them under the bus to hide their crimes against the Yemeni and every other chance they get. No doubt they've already thrown them under the bus with Zionists. That must be why Netanyahu is so pleased with himself lately for having improved relations with his Arab neighbors: al-Sissi, Abdullah and the Saudi dictators. All traitors and collaborators.
The Saudis can not defeat them. Together with their U.S. and British allies they have therefore decided on a follow a genocidal strategy. They cut off the country, which usually imports up to 90% of its basic food needs, from the outside world. Saudi ships patrol the coast and the land borders are mostly under Saudi control. Only smugglers and the few official UN convoys provide some relief. But this is obviously far from enough. The ten-thousands "excess death" are a direct consequence of the U.S.-Saudi blockade.
It's encouraging to see the word genocide used to describe Zio-imperial strategy. Since Zionists moved to Palestine what has happened in the Middle East in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen is the slaughter of Muslims on a massive scale. It's a current, ongoing genocidal assault.
Calling this punishing deprivation and brutal campaign against Yemen what it really is might direct global attention to this U.S./Saudi-engineered famine and slaughter.

The oil companies and weapons mfrs would certainly be sniffing. Look at Rothschild, already prospecting in the Golan Heights without Syrian permission (I assume).
Is Yemen's central bank privatised?
Does Yemen have precious earths?
Good soil?
Gold in its museums?
Who will get the rebuild contract?
The Yemenese will need pharms and med equipment.
And food.

Another great post from Moon Over Alabama that gives more information on Yemen than NYTimes and WaPo combined, isn't that amusing? Here's some backgrounder ;)
SCENESETTER FOR MOB COMMENTARIAT:
1) Any understanding of Yemen today requires understanding the role of Ali Abdullah Saleh over the past few decades; from the fall of the USSR to the Iraq Gulf War II (i.e. Gulf War I being the Iran-Iraq war, Gulf War II being the one overseen by GWH Bush, Gulf War III being the WMD bullshit disaster of 2003)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Abdullah_Saleh

2) With the outbreak of the rather unexpect Arab Spring in Tunisia, the Middle East and North African population clearly thought that their chance to replace authoritarian and apartheid regimes in the Middle East and North Africa had finally come. CIA entirely failed to predict this; complete blindsiding of the U.S. foreign policy apparatus. Serious threats to the continuity of Arab monarchies rapidly developed in Bahrain, etc. Egyptian military dictatorship under serious threat. Worries that this could lead to a Iranian Shah situation in Saudi Arabia. Covert action to support Arab monarchies immediately developed; Israeli and U.S. support delivered.

1. (S/NF) WASHINGTON ANALYSTS ARE INTERESTED IN IRANIAN PRESENCE AND ACTIVITIES IN YEMEN, AND POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS TO UNREST THERE, IN RESPONSE TO POLICYMAKER INTEREST. AS POSTS' TIME AND RESOURCES PERMIT, ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON IRAN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH AND INTENTIONS TOWARD THE GOVERNMENT, HUTHI REBELS, AND/OR THE SECESSIONIST GROUPS IN THE SOUTH WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE, AS WOULD INFORMATION ON CULTURAL, BUSINESS, AND RELIGIOUS TIES BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO THE QUESTIONS BELOW. MANY THANKS. - Date:2009 August 17, 20:58

Ah, that would be the Hillary Clinton State Department request, wouldn't it? https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09STATE85632_a.html

3) The U.S. found a plausible Yemeni puppet leader around this time:

Hamid al-Ahmar comes across as a confident, polished interlocutor and speaks fluent English, despite having been to the U.S. only twice, as a teenager. He is the most ambitious of the 10 sons of the late Sheikh Abdullah al-Ahmar, evidenced by his increasingly frequent public appearances. His disgust with President Saleh, whom he alternately refers to as "the devil" and "the greedy one," is palpable and frequently expressed in conversations

https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09SANAA1617_a.html
Unfortunately, this is another Hillary Clinton plan that didn't work out so well:
"Hamid al-Ahmar is a Yemeni multimillionaire businessman and politician currently living in exile after fleeing Yemen during the Houthi takeover of Sana'a September 2014."
4, 5, 6 follow

.
4) In 2009, Iran's role in Yemen was quite liimited:
1. (S/NF) SUMMARY. Despite repeated ROYG accusations of Tehran's material and financial support to the Houthi rebels in Sa'ada and increasingly belligerent media exchanges between Yemen and Iran, Iranian influence in Yemen has thus far been limited to informal religious ties between Yemeni and Iranian scholars and negligible Iranian investment in the energy and development sectors.

5) The House of Saud attack on the Houthi tribal group began in early Nov 2009:
SAUDI AIRSTRIKES AT YEMEN BORDER
https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09SANAA2040_a.html
. . .the tribes living in that area consider it Yemeni even if it is officially Saudi. Furthermore, while the members of the tribe whose territory straddles the two countries identify first and foremost with their tribe, they identify secondly as Yemenis, not Saudis - regardless of which side of the border they live on. . . .

6) It appears the Saudis launched this war over fear of regional tribal rebellions that might threaten their own domestic grip on power. The consequences?
Yemeni analysts fear that military action by Saudi Arabia is creating a regional, sectarian war that will lead to direct Iranian involvement. . . As Yemen's neighbors rush to offer the ROYG additional weapons and munitions, Iranian officials denounce the Saudi strikes and are calling for Islamic states to defend innocent Shi'a from ROYG and SAG attacks.

February 07, 2017
A new Amnesty International report claims that the Syrian government hanged between 5,000 and 13,000 prisoners in a military prison in Syria. The evidence for that claim is flimsy, based on hearsay of anonymous people outside of Syria. The numbers themselves are extrapolations that no scientist or court would ever accept. It is tabloid reporting and fiction style writing from its title "Human Slaughterhouse" down to the last paragraph.
But the Amnesty report is still not propagandish enough for the anti-Syrian media. Inevitably only the highest number in the range Amnesty claims is quoted. For some even that is not yet enough. The Associate Press agency, copied by many outlets, headlines: Report: At least 13,000 hanged in Syrian prison since 2011:
BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian authorities have killed at least 13,000 people since the start of the 2011 uprising in mass hangings at a prison north of Damascus known to detainees as "the slaughterhouse," Amnesty International said in a report Tuesday.
How does "at least 13,000" conforms to an already questionable report which claims "13,000" as the top number of a very wide range?
Here is a link to the report.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde24/5415/2017/en/
Before we look into some details this from the "Executive Summary":
From December 2015 to December 2016, Amnesty International researched the patterns, sequence and scale of violations carried out at Saydnaya Military Prison (Saydnaya). In the course of this investigation, the organization interviewed 31 men who were detained at Saydnaya, four prison officials or guards who previously worked at Saydnaya, three former Syrian judges, three doctors who worked at Tishreen Military Hospital, four Syrian lawyers, 17 international and national experts on detention in Syria and 22 family members of people who were or still are detained at Saydnaya.
...
On the basis of evidence from people who worked within the prison authorities at Saydnaya and witness testimony from detainees, Amnesty International estimates that between 5,000 and 13,000 people were extrajudicially executed at Saydnaya between September 2011 and December 2015.
There are several difficulties with this report.

OF DEBAUCHERY BY DUTCH LED INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE COMMISSION; MH17 INTERIM CRIMINAL REPORT.
10/1/2016
After I have read about recent so-called “findings” of the Commission I have reviewed my previous post on that subject from a year ago trying to find answers to the critical questions I posited back then, questions without thoroughly answering which no assigning of responsibility for the MH-17 disaster is even possible, and yet this sorry excuse for report magically assigned blame without professionally determining such a fundamental facts as precisely what caused [what missile used] the observed damage to the MH-17 fuselage which answering would automatically dismiss any criminal case against rebels as unprosecutable due to utter lack fundamental fact based determinations.
Instead Dutch proved themselves to be vassals to the US, violating basic principles of technical professionalism and turned into propaganda stooges spewing anti-Russian propaganda with not evidences but a fairy tales based on, I am not kidding, some random arbitrary selections of YouTube clips which origins, locations, exact time of acquisition and authors has not been determined or were not invited for interviews about circumstances of taking the video to corroborate Dutch investigators’ otherwise baseless conclusions drawn upon them and assorted wild, unsupported by facts, interpretations defying even physical reality
On the other hand, many more YouTube videos that did not fit the fairy tales the Dutch investigators aimed to concoct have been dismissed since they utterly refuted the basic premises of investigative leads Dutch prosecutors senselessly pushed against hard facts and evidences available from professional sources in Russia and the West.
I will address here only some fantastic stories of unreality, that Dutch peddle in the report instead of looking at available hard-core evidences pointing to the contrary of their false goal-seeking narratives.
First, no eyewitness of the catastrophe was even invited to Holland to testify or no video testimony were allowed into the report by any resident of the disaster area recorded by local police or directly by journalists including western journalist, for one reason alone, to suppress fact that the aircraft was already falling apart over the territory under Ukrainian Army control and fell just 2-3 miles behind the local frontline on rebel controlled area.
Also ignored was a fact based on Russian satellite and radar evidence that Anti-Aircraft Buk missile systems were deployed by Ukrainian army in the area and were activated in the in the time of disaster, detected their tracking radar signature by Russian electronic surveillance installation in Russian Rostov-on-Don location. US refused to disclose their satellite imagery of the area while they admitted they have them.
Moreover, Dutch investigators failed to identify which precisely type of Buk missile was used to shut down the airplane, a cheap attempt to covered up the fact that the damage to fuselage observed by Dutch was consistent only with Buk missile existing in armament of Ukrainian military and long abandoned by Soviets in 1985 and which were never in armament of Russian military and hence could not be brought to Donbass from Russia, as Dutch investigators’ fairy tale insists as critical to their story.
And hence to further obfuscate the issue they refer to the type of Buk missile, they maintain shot down the MH17 airliner, by nonexistent moniker since such a type as listed in the Dutch report does not exists nor it ever existed. By that they refused to acknowledge, refused to indicate what hard solid evidence points to, namely that the Buk missile in question was launched from Ukrainian army Buk batteries, deployed in the disaster area and no Russian Buk missiles type were ever involved.
In such a context of impossibility of Russian military Buk system being a culprit in the disaster, ridiculous claim that one single Buk launch system [unable to operate without command unit equipped with radar] was brought from Russia, given to rebels [who were back then mostly old Ukrainian Afghan war veterans untrained with the equipment] has to be dismissed by any sane observer as impossible.

Also ignored was a fact based on Russian satellite and radar evidence that Anti-Aircraft Buk missile systems were deployed by Ukrainian army in the area and were activated in the in the time of disaster, detected their tracking radar signature by Russian electronic surveillance installation in Russian Rostov-on-Don location. US refused to disclose their satellite imagery of the area while they admitted they have them.

Also impossible is another ridiculous Dutch assumptions that miraculously Donbass rebels knew where the MH17 flight would be flying [MH17 flew on different path, more south of the combat area, for two days before that fatal day and was directed at last moment for the first time by Kiev based flight control towards this specific ongoing military combat area around village of Antracit exactly where Ukrainian army deployed at least three batteries of Buk missiles systems and central control and command unit, that even Dutch admitted rebels did not have.
The investigators acknowledged that Ukrainian Buk system was active and deployed in the disaster area located within missile range, in the same time they dismissed possibility of Ukrainian involvement based on some verbal assurances while failed to prove their main hypothetical point that “Russian” provided Buk missile launcher, they speculate about, has been ever there at specified location, enabling it to even be launched.
And hence as a undisputed physical fact rebels could activate missiles without the command control and tracking unit, even if they had missiles and launcher from Russia, but they did not, since it is radar guided, not heat guided missile and all together different kind of missile than the one that actually struck airliner.
Those facts would require in any fair and unbiased investigation to shift focus toward Ukrainian army that deployed the Buk missiles in the disaster area, had means and opportunity to shoot down the MH17, but in fact such a scenario was never on the agenda of Dutch investigators and such a very probable scenario was never examined. Why?
Dutch investigators remained satisfied with baseless arbitrary statements of innocence from Ukrainian security Agency SBU devoid of facts, documentation, or testimony of any military personnel operating deployed Ukrainian Buk batteries, is a scandal on its own, and denies all credibility to all the findings of Dutch investigators.

HOW COVERT INTERESTS ARE LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A FALSE ALIEN THREAT AND A POTENTIAL MILITARISTIC TAKEOVER OF THE EARTH- 1940S- PRESENT
In the most shocking and important seminar you will ever hear on the UFO/ ET subject, Dr. Steven Greer will present the history, methods and plans for a staged, covert Cosmic 911.
What you learn will disturb you. It will enlighten you. But be prepared- this information will be shocking and true.
Knowledge is power: This means by knowing of these nefarious plans, we can avert them!
This is the event you absolutely do not want to miss!
You will learn:
How the false alien threat has already been hoaxed- and how this has been accomplished. Names will be named: You will learn how the deep national security state and covert military operations have staged false Alien Abductions, Mutilations- and what technologies have been used.
What technologies have been developed since the 1940s that enable para-military Unacknowledged Special Access Projects (USAPs) to affect consciousness, stage false Alien events and plant the seeds of fear to justify a scripted Armageddon !
How man-made UFOs, hollywood-style staging and very advanced electronic warfare systems enable USAPs to stage abductions, mutilations and other false-flag events - and how these have conditioned and prepared the world through the fear of Aliens for the coming hoax of an official Alien Threat.
New Official Air Force whistle-blower testimony confirms the false flag plan and the intent to achieve it!
The emergence by 1956 of advanced electronic warfare technologies that affect consciousness- and how these pscho-tronics can give the target (victim) ANY experience that is scripted.
What you need to know to differentiate between the hoaxed versus actual ET presence- and how we can go forward to create a civilization on Earth founded on the principles of Universal Peace.

So why is this info being released through a dubious outlet?
Then there is Robert Steele doing a Soros thing unsuppressed.

If it was happening in this country I'd say an uprising was being manufactured. Such wouldn't be allowed to happen if there weren't pregroomed common purpose types ready to assume the roles of the ousted with CPist (zionist-freemason) philosophy ingrained.
Isn't there a rule that says what they are going to do has to be announced in some way?
