Fake Withdrawal? 'US won't leave Iraq oil to Iran'

Despite the US's declared withdrawal of its military personnel and contractors out of Iraq, Washington has prepared to control the country's rich oil reserves in any case, shared Ranjit Singh Kalha, former India's ambassador to Iraq in the 1990s. Having spent $3 trillion in Iraq, a country with harsh weather conditions (+50 C most of the time) and absolutely nothing valuable but oil reserves, the Americans simply cannot give up the plentiful and very high quality oil they went there for. "It takes $1.50 to take out this oil that's just below the surface. Anybody who has access to this oil can be a game changer -- as far as the politics of oil is concerned," Ranjit Singh Kalha concluded. The problem Americans encountered in Iraq is that once given "some symbols" of democracy, the Iraqi voted for a Shia-led government. The headache is that the Shia traditionally have close links with Iran, the core territory of this affiliation. "That is the present dilemma. If you withdraw from Iraq completely, you leave this vast oil wealth of Iraq in the hands of Shia (Iran-oriented) government. And therefore it upsets the political balance in the Middle East," Ranjit Singh Kalha explained. He said that to counter such adverse developments the US will have almost 20000-strong embassy in Baghdad (the largest US embassy in the world) and consulates in Basra, Kerkuk and in northern Kurd-inhabited territory, each consulate 1000-strong. "Americans cannot afford to be completely absent from ...

The Politics of Parental Leave

US political candidates are beginning to produce work and family policy positions in response to what most Americans feel - that work and family balance is a major issue facing American families. Women in particular struggle with such balance and with achieving equality in the workplace. Several bills have been introduced in Congress to mandate paid parental leave to help women achieve better balance and more equality. But is this approach best for women as a whole? Dr. Charmaine Yoest of the Family Research Council served as the Project Director of the Family, Gender and Tenure research project at the University of Virginia. The research is the only study of its kind to examine the effectiveness of paid parental leave in the United States. Dr. Yoest's experience as a researcher, policy advocate and mother of five give her an important perspective on this current debate.

The Generals Strike Back - Egypt

Cairo clashes damage moderate Islamist election hopes To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com The bloodiest week in Egypt since the football massacres may have dramatically altered its political balance. With shocking footage, this powerful report gets inside the fresh turmoil threatening elections. "The people want to execute the Field Marshall!", a crowd of Salafis shout as they march in the street. Just months ago they were celebrating their surprisingly strong showing in the parliamentary elections. But after the disqualification of their preferred candidate, Hazem Abu Ismail, they've taken to the streets. Up to this point the military had portrayed themselves as a neutral force protecting the people. But as the army floods in to crush a week-long sit-in, it's not an image the protesters buy into. "The thugs who attacked us were from the army." As the dramatic scenes in this report show, the military junta engaged in violent street battles with the protesters. "Where is the clinic?" a man shouts as he helps an injured protester, who has blood streaming from his head. But make-shift clinics were trampled and the injured abandoned in the mad rush to escape the army's thugs. Some well-timed state TV propaganda has fueled a number of people turning against the Salafis and other Islamist groups. Meanwhile, the military junta continues its violent oppression: "Nothing has changed. The military council, that's Mubarak's ...

We the People - Religion in the US - 5 Sep 08 -Part 1

How do US communities today balance their religious beliefs with their political pursuits? Filmmaker Ilan Ziv spent much of the last year observing and documenting life in Anderson, South Carolina, a place where 90 percent of the residents go to church. This small town is a snapshot of how America balances Church and State. Ziv's perspective is unique. He fled his homeland, Israel, in order to escape the volatile mix of religion and politics there. He wanted to build a life in a country where he felt religion was not always uppermost in people's minds. But as he reveals in this episode of We the People, religious fervor in the US is alive and well.

It's Not Cut, Cap and Balance, it is Duck, Dodge and Dismantle

The Republican's "Cut, Cap and Balance" plan is the Ryan plan on steroids. It's a political stunt with serious consequences for the country. This legislation preserves tax cuts for the rich, subsidies for oil and gas companies and special tax deals for items like corporate jets. And the Republican presidential candidates have committed to Cut, Cap and Balance. It requires deeper spending cuts than the Ryan plan. This means even more devastating cuts to clean energy, education and health care for children, people with disabilities and seniors. In the first year, Republicans claim this legislation would result in a spending cut of more than $100 billion. Done this quickly, cuts of this magnitude will have a serious negative impact on the economy. It doesn't stop there - after these unbalanced cuts, this legislation requires spending caps in future years with significant consequences. The legislation would require deep Medicare cuts, making health care for seniors more expensive and less accessible And it will require significant cuts in Social Security benefits, breaking our promise to America's seniors. This policy will reduce clean energy funding up and cut infrastructure funding. And it would cut programs for the most vulnerable, like food stamp benefits and Medicaid.

Karmic Relationships: Finding the Balance Within

All the different types of relationships give us the opportunity for personal development. The suggestion of Karma in a relationship is not a pleasurable thought, no matter how it is manifesting in one's life; but powerful relationships, whether good or bad, almost certainly have a Karmic underlay to them. In a Karmic relationship, the lessons that we have to learn from each other can be as varied as life itself. One may be certain however, that the lesson will be deep, personal and will demand inner strength. When we experience the Karma involved in a relationship, we tend to find ourselves feeling without control over the circumstances and events, and at a loss of how to act and react to those situations. It is our belief, that while all Soulmate connections are Karmic, but not all Karmic relationships involve Soulmates. As a general rule, the Karmic model is only completely understood with clarity, AFTER the lesson is learned. Karmic relationships are valuable gifts that can facilitate us on our spiritual journey. This can only occur however, if we're ready to let go of the Ego. So don't dread that all Karmic love relationships have to be demanding and complicated. As we choose to be more mindful, we can transform negative patterns by choosing more conscious and loving behaviors. We can convert Karma into Dharma though the alchemy of our desires into our Intentions. Humanity Healing is sharing a series of free classes and workshops on Karmic and other types of Soul ...
