Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Kenneth Pollack, director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, talks with Bloomberg's Margaret Brennan about U.S. efforts to thwart Iran's nuclear program. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in Qatar on Feb. 15 that Iran is turning into "a military dictatorship" as she pushed to rally regional support for sanctions aimed at reining in the Persian Gulf nation's nuclear projects. The comments led Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni to accuse Clinton of spreading "lies." (Source: Bloomberg)
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that Iran is becoming a military dictatorship, a new U.S. accusation in the midst of rising tensions with Iran over its nuclear ambitions and crack down on anti-government protesters. (Feb. 15)
Three years after President Felipe Calderon launched an all-out nationwide war against drug cartels in Mexico, narcotics-related violence is still on the rise in the city of Ciudad Juarez.
Although around 10,000 troops have been deployed in the city, on average 10 people are killed each day there. According to the El Universal newspaper, last year more than one-third of Mexico's murders were in Juarez.
Al Jazeera's Mariana Sanchez reports that residents of the city now known as Mexico's new "murder capital" are putting pressure on politicians to act against a business that earns yearly revenues of $20bn.
That's a sum of money more than enough to buy the loyalties of police and judges.
Critics say that one of the biggest problems in Juarez is that attackers act with immunity. In the last two years more than 4,000 people have been killed and only 300 cases resolved.
Knowing that, many attackers just shoot and kill without any fear of getting caught.

Iran also plans to unveil three new satellites on Wednesday - all part its ambitious independent space programme - which coincides with celebrations of the country's 31st Islamic revolution anniversary.

biggest bank robbery in history and can anyone hold back the American
spirit? Also the golden rule is:- the one who has the gold rules.

Follows are Gerald Celente's Forecasts for 2010:
· The Crash of 2010: The Bailout Bubble is about to burst. Be prepared for the onset of the Greatest Depression.
· Depression Uplift: The pursuit of elegance and affordable sophistication will raise spirits and profits.
· Terrorism 2010: Years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq and now
Pakistan have intensified anti-American sentiment. 2010 will be the
year of the lone-wolf, self-radicalized gunman.
· Neo-Survivalism: A new breed of survivalist is devising ingenious
stratagems to beat the crumbling system. And, they're not all heading
for the hills with AK-47's and pork & beans.
· Not Welcome Here: Fueled by fear and resentment, a global
anti-immigration trend will gather force and serve as a major plank in
building a new political party in the US.
· TB or Not TB: With two-thirds of Americans Too Big (TB) for their own
good (and everyone else's), 2010 will mark the outbreak of a "War on
Fat," providing a ton of business opportunities.
· Mothers of Invention: Taking off with the speed of the Internet
revolution, "Technology for the Poor" will be a major trend in 2010,
providing products and services for newly downscaled Western consumers
and impoverished consumers everywhere.
· Not Made In China: A "Buy Local," "My Country First" protectionist
backlash will deliver a big "No" to unrestrained globalism and open
solid niches for local and domestic manufacturers.
· The Next Big Thing: Just as the traditional print media
(newspapers/magazines) were scooped by Internet competition, so too will
new communication technologies herald the end of the TV networks as we
know them.

The German government wants them to be allowed at the country's airports. But the decision is controversial,and has privacy campaigners on the warpath.

The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.

"Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers.
This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world.
By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished."
