We need to talk about Europe - and Iran and..

    Normally I treat world events as a bit of an academic exercise but there are three events that are beginning to give me a deeply uneasy feeling.

    The first, and most troubling, is the Iranian nuclear bomb. It is a piece of cake to make nuclear weapons nowadays, especially enriched uranium bombs, and it is a testament to the peacefulness of most Iranians that most of those who knew how to do it must have quietly slid away when they asked for volunteers. Unfortunately any competent technician can now make a nuclear bomb so it was just a matter of time. We can be pretty sure that when the Iranians do test one of their bombs they will also have five or ten stashed away because they know that the first test will mark the start of a nuclear war in the Middle East.

    The second and also very troubling event is the replacement of the governments of Greece and Italy by Eurozone appointees. These appointees are unelected. The new Prime Minister of Greece, Lucas Papademos, is a banker, yes, a bankster, straight from the European Central Bank. The new Prime Minister of Italy is likely to be Mario Monti, an economist, EU Commissioner and member of the Bilderberg Group of Globalizers. At least the Germans did not insist that the new regional, Imperial Controllers of their European Empire were German. Greece will go broke and then how will the Comptroller maintain ze order? Tanks and guns. What if Italy goes broke? How could it have come to this?  I fear that the two centuries of Anglo-American inspired consensus towards freedom and democracy is about to collapse.

    The third event is the global population exceeding 7 billion. It is now clear that carbon dioxide emissions will be at the worst possible level considered in the IPCC scenarios but everyone seems to have forgotten about global warming... Although I will not be around past mid-century I do feel upset for my children and their children (if they have them). Our present unrestrained population growth and economic development means we will probably kill at least a billion of our grandchildren - has there ever been a generation that cared less about their offspring than ours?

    The global warming scenario is pretty certain and the two other scenarios are fifty-fifty each so there is a good chance of one or the other happening.  This is troubling.  Keep calm and carry on.Source URL: https://indahrahmadewi.blogspot.com/2011/11/we-need-to-talk-about-europe-and-iran.html
