Fatah and Hamas; Reconciliation or Escape Forward

Muslim Unity: A Basic Need For Peace

5
The unity of Muslims the world over is the need of the hour, not for any aggressive design but for own survival, salvation, growth and development. Only unity can bring them the glory that the world of Islam once enjoyed. There will then be a third -world bloc (of the Muslim countries) in this emerging multipolar world that would be powerful enough to stand the rigours and the pressures of Zionist dominated capitalistic bloc or any other power that has expansionists designs. This unity has to move beyond mere lip service but translated in concrete terms.

Banking and the Economics of the Invasion of Libya

10
I must commend the authors who are prolifically researching and writing facts and truths that have been purposely hidden from us, even while in plain view. Another often-overlooked important aspect of logistics that facilitates the neocon (and neolib) agenda is finance. And so, I wanted to write a piece on finance and the crisis in Libya. To remind readers of the multi-faceted strands of U.S. policy formulation that in many instances can be traced to powerful individuals and this notion of O.I.L., instead of just oil.
