The world is rearranging itself. What may not be coming to your attention is that it's not simply the world of politics. Whole species of plants and animals are dying out, new species are being discovered. New planets. New stars and galaxies. Increased intensity and frequency of solar flares, intense weather patterns. It's all in the energy.
So....
On the geopolitical front today:
Spain now faces the possibility of great change. The people have spoken. Will there be new and greater attempts by the invisible hand of military-corporatism to wrench them back into silence? Probably.
Morocco says the three Moroccons arrested in Spain on suspicion of involvement in the bombings (along with two Indians), have no known connections to Islamic militancy. The man on the videotape that was found, who is claiming the bombings on behalf of al-Qa'ida, is still unidentified. Don't expect to know the players without a scorecard. And try to remember that it is often decades later that plots and conspiracies are uncovered - when it no longer matters in the minds of the people. (I always expect a CIA involvement any more, since they seem to have been involved in so many foreign affairs in the past.)
Putin, unsurprisingly, is re-elected in Russia. The U.S. has, of course, claimed that the elections were unfair in that Putin kept all the media coverage to himself (no matter that polls showed from months and months that he was the people's overwhelming favorite). I'm still undecided about Putin. Will he move the Russians toward more social stability, or will he move them toward the corporate beast? Can he - or will he even attempt - to take the reins of the beast and bend it toward service to the people?
Jean Bertrand Aristide is going to Jamaica, and Jamaica has been "warned" by both the U.S. and the new U.S. colony of Haiti that there will be a price to pay for allowing him to come there, and a bigger price to pay should he not be silenced while there. Will the coup hold?
Blowback is underway in South Korea, where the monied interests managed an impeachment of an elected populist leader. A replay of the Venezuelan coup of 2002 in a different dress? General election is scheduled for April 15.
And Israel doesn't care if you know that they simply intend to kill as many Palestinian resistance leaders as they can find.
Good morning.
It's the Ides of March.
