Is Rwanda`s Kagame Connected to the Sudden Death of Komla Afeke Dumor?
Was it Murder?

"Is Rwanda's Pres. Paul Kagame a visionary or a dictator?" - Facebook post by Komla Dumor

(SALEM/BERLIN) - BBC presenter Komla Afeke Dumor died suddenly on 18th January 2014 in London. On 20 May 2013, Komla Dumor asked Rwandan President Paul Kagame about allegations that his country was using proxy forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Dumor died four days after his most recent interview with Paul Kagame. Dumor was not backing off from allegations that Kagame relies on M 23 rebel forces who conduct raids in the Congo.

Holocaust Day - The Time Is Ripe For A Jewish Apology

Indeed, I take this opportunity to make an apology, even though I have not been a Jew for quite a while.

(LONDON) - A mass protest in Paris on Sunday against French President François Hollande turned into an anti-Jewish demonstration and ended in clashes between police and protesters.

Seemingly, Jewish organisations around the world are scared by the recent developments in France. Once again, they clearly failed to appreciate the growing mass fatigue of Shoah indoctrination and belligerent lobby politics. However, I would contend that instead of whining about the “rise of anti-Semitism”, Jews better, once and for all, learn to ask why? Why the Jews again?

Welcome to Planet America

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
- From a sonnet by American poet, Emma Lazarus, engraved on a plaque on The Statue of Liberty

(LONDON) - The America that the founding fathers established almost 250 years ago is unrecognizable now. Since the Second World War, America has been transformed into the bully in the global playground.

What various American administrations can’t achieve by persuasion, bribery and coercion they destroy with brute force.

Jordan Revisited

Jordan, a constitutional monarchy where I did my bachelor degree, is still a fascinating, beautiful and diverse place.

(BETHLEHEM) - The distance from Amman to my house in Beit Sahour is 45 miles (72 kilometers). In normal situations, that should take 1-1.5 hours. Sunday it took me some 13 hours (i.e. Ten times more) and I arrived at my home at 3 AM. I won’t bore you with details of misery and can just summarize the main reason: occupation.

The illegal military occupation and colonization of the West Bank by Israeli forces has now been in place for almost 47 years, one of the longest in history. I see the worst of people and the best of people daily. I spent five days in Jordan working on biodiversity issues with my friend Prof. Zuhair Amr.

Market Disruptor: Nuclear Restarts Spell Trouble for LNG

Investors should be aware of the very large threat that Japanese nuclear reactors present to upstart LNG projects.

(LONDON OilPrices.com) - There are two major factors that have emerged in the last five years that have sparked a surge in LNG investments. First is the shale gas “revolution” in the United States, which allowed the U.S. to vault to the top spot in the world for natural gas production.

This caused prices to crater to below $2 per million Btu (MMBTu) in 2012, down from their 2008 highs above $10/MMBtu. Natural gas became significantly cheaper in the U.S. than nearly everywhere else in the world.

Ignorance is Prelude to Sudden Destruction

Folks it is the system which is broken! Broken! Broken! As in B-R-O-K-E, which means that it don’t work anyway, no matter who is driving the Big bus!

(MELBOURNE VNN) - I recommend reading Dr. Lawrence Davidson’s column, written in 2011, about the results of lobbyfication, which many in America and the world are beginning to notice in recent months.

The activities Dr. Davidson describes in United States Congress and the Senate are not only malfeasance of office, and failure to represent the interests of their constituents and the Nation...

Is Netanyahu Certifiable?

Though I am not an expert on the subject, it seems to me that what Netanyahu needs most of all is some psychiatric help.

(LONDON) - The expanded and most explicit form of my headline question is this.

Is Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of sound mind and knowingly talking propaganda nonsense about threats to Israel’s security in order to fool the world including most of its Jews, or, is he unbalanced, mentally disturbed, even clinically insane?
