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

NoteNotesMay 11, 2012

Previous notes:
Mar 17-Did Bin Laden / al-Qaeda ever conclusively admit or deny responsibility for 9-11? What is the officially accepted version of that history? I've seen links and reports saying both. Why the ambiguity? Surely, if we have him on a video saying 'I did it', and that video is generally accepted to be genuine, then there is our definitive answer? Or if he said the opposite... likewise. But how reliable are the reports of the claim, whichever way? Fox? Pravda? Alex Jones? Give me something we can take seriously? Which is true?
Mar 13-Ok, here's one I know very little about. North American Union, US-Canada border agreement, immigration under Obama, the Mexican and wider drug war, Latin American issues like Venezuela/Colombia, FARC. Brazil-USA relations. Washington's stance on Falklands (Malvinas), and on Canadian claims to Arctic resources. NAFTA Corridor, trade with China. But particularly the USA's two immediate neighbours. I need to go shopping and cook, a couple hours. Will come back here and eat. Please educate me?
Mar 8-If you didn't already know, I work nights. It's now morning, and I read yesterday's papers in the work canteen last night - despite being about a week ahead of most of their content. This, then, from The Mirror, popular left-leaning British tabloid (same story was also in The Sun, Murdoch's, leaning right). Read by every manual worker and tradesman in the country, between them. Link follows, first reply. I haven't seen this in the proper newspapers. So... simply: David Cameron now claims Iran are after 'intercontinental' missile capability, and may soon be able to hit Britain, not just Israel or Saudi Arabia. I have no evidence to offer, to the contrary, but really... haven't we heard this one somewhere before? Recall... even the inquiry into Jack Straw et al's '45 minutes' bullshit was held behind closed doors. I hate to say this... but I think Iran WILL be bombed, possibly invaded. This year.
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. Peace!
