Heaven forbid a nation should follow it's own self-interest???
There's a difference between negotiating skillfully in trade deals and such and organizing coups to overthrow democratically elected officials in order to replace them with despots, my friend. Not to mention invading a tiny defenseless country after country.
What we are seeing today is global blowback against our foreign policy of the past 56 years.
The SCO is the new NATO.
USA out-flanked in Eurasia energy politics?

Very glad we got it visable, because I think this will be a useful explanitory tool. Plus it provides alot of background from a non US perspective. That part was useful in and of itself.

This guy is friggin awesome.

This article is by the same dude in the video:
It's capitalism or a habitable planet - you can't have both
Our economic system is unsustainable by its very nature. The only response to climate chaos and peak oil is major social change
Robert Newman

"Capitalism is not sustainable by its very nature. It is predicated on infinitely expanding markets, faster consumption and bigger production in a finite planet. And yet this ideological model remains the central organising principle of our lives, and as long as it continues to be so it will automatically undo (with its invisible hand) every single green initiative anybody cares to come up with."

I watched a interview with him Saturday on the Henry Rollins show. Yeah- he know his stuff, very smart. If you have cable or the dish maybe you can catch a repeat on IFC(Independent Film Channel)

Most recent torrent at http://conspiracycentral.net:6969/
ROBERT NEWMAN - FROM CALIBAN TO THE TALIBAN (500 YEARS OF HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION)
Full 90 minute stand up performance captured live at the Pavilion Theatre, Brighton in 2004.
This is the story of a 500 year global terror campaign waged with goodwill to all. It starts with a 1609 Bermuda shipwreck and takes us via the Berlin - Baghdad railway, Sandinista guerrillas and Dr Watson in northwest Kandahar to the USA's good works in Vietnam, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cambodia and Chile.
The story's happy ending is how Britain's philanthropic mission to Iraq has made the world safe for democracy and given us all that optimism about the future we all enjoy so much today.
This 90 minute live DVD was recorded at Robert's sell-out gigs at the Brighton Corn Exchange theatre, during the 2003 Paramount Comedy Festival. See Robert's critically acclaimed From Caliban to the Taliban set in its entirety. Directed by Dan Martin of Low Key Productions.

A comedian as a peak oil spokesman? How appropriate...

I regged twice there in an attempt to gain access without success.
Maybe it has a 24 hour time delay between registration and access?
