Welcome to Spies, Lies & Geopolitics. Please read the 'House Rules', on the Noticeboard in the box below this one. We recognise and uphold the Multiply Terms of Service . We are Multiply's largest neutral forum for world affairs, politics, terrorism and media spin. Please take a look around at some of the older posts, get an idea of what is on offer here. We are non-partisan and essentially secular, but Judaeo-Christian and Islamic views are represented in our management team. All welcome, with one exception - people who only want to preach and bash, disrupt and undermine, who refuse to behave civilly and respect this opportunity for real dialogue, will be shown the door. This is not so much a 'debate' as a magazine on the given theme. There are already a multitude of such debate groups on Multiply, we aim for something different. New members and their first posts are held for moderation. We do not accept membership applications from online shops, but shop management are welcome to join with their personal accounts. Self-promoting spam will be deleted. Thankyou  Legal stuff: This website may contain copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Previous notes: | | Jan 14 | - | Standard & Poor? That's the name of a financial company? Seriously? One with authority to 'rate' European countries, and 'downgrade' nine of them? S&P is owned by McGraw-Hill companies. Who owns them? Just a hunch, but this latest 'downgrading' benefits [the bankers], right? | | Jan 7 | - | The defamation of 'people's choice' in the coming Russian Presidential race, Alexei Navalny, opponent to Vladimir Putin, has begun... http://navalny.livejournal.com/661833.html | Spies, Lies & Geopolitics's favorite notes: | | Dec 19 | - | Kim Il Jong is officially dead. I stand corrected - thought he'd gone ages ago. Would ask what's next re: China, USA, nuclear arms etc... the son seems likely to be just as much a lunatic... but I think I'll leave that one to the group comedians. I do hope we get a 'serious' North Korea thread with as little bias as possible. Meanwhile, a link I just found... Bill Gates to develop nuclear reactor with China. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-gates-developing-nuclear-reactor-104559477.html Point being, Kim will get the headlines this week... don't forget there is plenty else going on in the world! Condolences to the Il Jong family, and those North Koreans who idolised the man. Merry Christmas to my S.L.G family.
