Twenty-three countries voted on Friday for the resolution proposed by Ecuador to convene the meeting at its Washington headquarters to discuss Quito's stand-off with Britain over Assange. The US, Canada and Trinidad and Tobago voted no.
The vote was taken at emergency talks to discuss the Assange case (...) The US envoy to the OAS, Carmen Lomellin, said a meeting of its foreign ministers 'would be unhelpful and harmful to the OAS's reputation as an institution'.
Furthermore, Lenta.ru reports that Ecuador is also calling for an extraordinary meeting of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) to discuss the Assange case.
It seems that the Anglosphere is now isolated from, and on a collision course with, the rest of the Americas. Good!

For globalism to work, America can’t be afraid to act like the almighty superpower that it is.…The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist—McDonald’s cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley’s technologies is called the United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.

Post Sun Aug 19, 2012 9:54 am by mcgowanjm Three take aways from this article:
Police captain Dennis Adrio said police units would remain at the mine for as long as necessary. Adrio declined to discuss specifics regarding the police's plans, though it appeared late yesterday afternoon that officers would largely stay away from the communities and watch from a distance. Adrio said officers were aware of the dead body near where the miners had gathered yesterday and that they would attempt to recover it.
"Our objective is to civilise the situation on the ground," the captain said. "The second objective is to find who killed our two officers and those who killed the other dead."
What got my attn was that the Jamaican paper was highlighted by google with the 'latest' info on the Platinum mines.
You know, a vast majority black paper to give you the 'what's really happening' aspect.
Except that the # killed is '10'. One less than what the 'original story line had. Do ALL USSan MSM's automatically knock down the initial number?
Which is now up to 34 btw.... :twisted:
Then, the Banner Ad on the paper's site.
50 YEARS of Independence :!:
Now what happened 50 years ago....1962...the Brit's Empire is Finally shuttered as the Cuban Missile Crisis Hots Up..... :twisted:
And Jamaica's an OAS member voting against it's 'former' Empire(s).
How convoluted, yet, timely.
2012 will be remembered as the time the USSA's colonies began to break away.

Post Sun Aug 19, 2012 10:00 am by mcgowanjm And back to Assange/Ecuador/Embassy.
Just like Rosa Parks, what cause the revolution was that she was just too tired to walk any further....and so sitting down sparked the revolution.....how easy is that..... :twisted:
Commentary: Even though I had little doubt that Ecuador would grant asylum to Assange, it was really heart-warming for me to listen to the absolutely beautiful statement of Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño, in particular after learning of the mind-boggling arrogance of the Brits who dared to cross a line very few, if any, governments ever dared cross: threaten to violate the sovereignty of an embassy (the only other example I can think of is the USAF bombing the PRC embassy in Belgrade - which everybody forgot, of course).
Does anybody remember that even the Iranian revolutionary government did not dare to openly say that it had seized the US embassy in Tehran, but that it hid behind a student movement instead? Yes, I know, this was a *very* thin fig-leaf for a regime which right in the wake of the Islamic revolution was rather over the top in most of its actions at the time. But even that regime did not have the arrogance to openly declare that it had violated one of the most basic rules of civilized behavior: one does not directly violate the diplomatic immunity of an official embassy.
The Brits just fcuked up Big Time... :twisted:
A slave doing what it thinks it's Master would have wanted....ANOTHER underrated cause of Empire collapse...... :twisted: :roll: :shock: :? 8-)

'It will take 5 000 years to undo the damage caused by these dams. Since the damage is already done, we might as well go ahead and get the immediate benefits.'
