Richard Moore is a former American software developer living in Ireland, whose analysis of the global picture is always most remarkable.

Here’s his latest missive:

The fascist takeover is being facilitated by a particular psy-ops strategy.

The right-wing is being hyped up with all sorts of nonsense about Obama being a socialist, along with other disinformation, and so we have one segment of society that hates Obama, and opposes his programs, for all the wrong reasons. Simultaneously, we have what appears to be a strong conservative resistance in Congress to Obama’s legislative agendas.

Corporate control over food

Ethiopia is one country that we always know has issues with starvation and hunger. There are five million people who live in hunger in Ethiopia. And you’ll be surprised. Eight thousand companies are vying for buying land in Ethiopia, including eighty from India.

Final message to America and the European Union: please keep your subsidies, but don’t flood us with cheaper imports.

When the Bank of England was founded in 1694, the authors of the founding act knew that the resulting corporation might have the power to oppress Their Majesties’ subjects. Hence they foresaw a punishment.

There are enough of us who consider that Her Majesty’s subjects have been seriously oppressed by the banking system, which Austin Mitchell MP has tabled as Early Day Motion 1297.

We are now grouping complaints with a view to changing the law on edm1297.info

After much delay the United States opened its new $700 million embassy in Iraq on Monday, inaugurating the largest — and most expensive — embassy ever built. The compound is six times larger than the United Nations compound in New York, and two-thirds the size of the National Mall in Washington. It has space for 1,000 employees with six apartment blocks and is 10 times larger than any other U.S. embassy.

This report from a 20-year Army veteran and visiting professor at the US Army War College is definitely a ‘bomb’…

The Limits to Growthwas published in 1972. It was seminal as a way of warning about economic growth at the cost of the environment. At the time, the ozone hole was the first serious sign of damage that we, the people, have been afflicting on our home, the planet. The five variables considered were:

  1. world population
  2. industrialization
  3. pollution
  4. food production
  5. resource depletion.

An update was published in 2004.

I was alerted to the high level of climate dangers by Aubrey Meyer who ceaseless promotes Contraction & Convergence: the West has to contract its CO2 emissions so that, together we can converge living on one planet.

The latest scientific and shocking article was published by the Guardian: Too late? Why scientists say we should expect the worst.

The Money Bomb is the seminal book by James Gibb Stuart about the National Debt as the mechanism used by national governments to “enslave” a nation’s people.

Bernard Benson was advertised in Paris as “la bombe de la paix” when I was looking for new directions in my life. His Peace Book became the story for Peace Child and brought me to London with a vision of a Peace Network of people and computers protecting our planet. That was 1981.

From Bernard Benson I learned that 1.7% of humanity are responsible for wars: governments, financiers, the military, arms producers and scientists.

UK: Government will spy on every call and e-mail
By Times Online.

Ministers are considering spending up to £12 billion on a database to monitor and store the internet browsing habits, e-mail and telephone records of everyone in Britain.

GCHQ, the government’s eavesdropping centre, has already been given up to £1 billion to finance the first stage of the project.
Hundreds of clandestine probes will be installed to monitor customers live on two of the country’s biggest internet and mobile phone providers – thought to be BT and Vodafone. BT has nearly 5m internet customers.
Ministers are braced for a backlash similar to the one caused by their ID cards programme. Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said: “Any suggestion of the government using existing powers to intercept communications data without public discussion is going to sound extremely sinister.”
MI5 currently conducts limited e-mail and website intercepts which are approved under specific warrants by the home secretary.
Further details of the new plan will be unveiled next month in the Queen’s speech.
The Home Office stressed no formal decision had been taken but sources said officials had made clear that ministers had agreed “in principle” to the programme.
Officials claim live monitoring is necessary to fight terrorism and crime. However, critics question whether such a vast system can be kept secure. A total of 57 billion text messages were sent in the UK last year – 1,800 every second.
