Iran's entry into energy market is a game-changer

Iran's entry into the global energy market will enable the world's consumers to reduce their reliance on carbon energy, and transition to supplies of cleaner gas in the drive towards a low-carbon economy, Nicolo Sartori, a Senior Research fellow in the Energy Program at the Istituto Affari Internazionali, told Radio Sputnik on Tuesday. Russia and Iran are the two countries in the world with the most gas resources, and their cooperation in tapping into those resources will be an important step towards meeting the world's energy needs after sanctions are fully lifted, said Sartori. The analyst believes that Iran will develop its LNG industry along similar lines as neighboring Qatar, currently the biggest LNG producer in the world, since the technology to ship the gas represents a better option for countries in their position than constructing a long pipeline across the region. Iran's entry into the energy market will naturally be accompanied

The ruthless elites construct the new enemies

In his poem Waiting for the Barbarians , the famous Greek poet Konstantinos Kavafis describes the agony of the ruling class who is waiting for the barbarians to come. And the poem ends: "And now, what's going to happen to us without barbarians? They were, those people, a kind of solution." So, what do you do when you don't have the useful barbarians? Simply, you construct new ones. by system failure How do the recent attacks in Paris are related with Greece and its devastated economy? Greece is unable to control the waves of refugees and therefore many jihadists can penetrate in Europe through these waves, someone could respond through this most obvious answer. But there is a much deeper correlation between terror attacks in the European soil and Greece's economic situation, as a result of the so-called Greek neoliberal experiment. During previous decades, especially during 50s, 60s and 70s, the Western elites had the Soviet Communis

France played major role in creating ISIS through destabilizing Syria & Libya

With the media capitalizing on the Paris terror attack to pass legislation for more spying on citizens in France and more troops on the ground in the Middle East, MintPress editor Mnar Muhawesh joins the Anti-Media radio show to discuss NATOs role in destabilzing nations across the Middle East and Africa through arming right wing rebels that eventually defect to ISIS. Muhawesh points out that the media’s hierarchy of selective outrageous over the Paris terror attacks while ISIS has been wreaking havoc across Iraq, Libya, Syria for several years that have left 10,000s of Arab Muslims and Arab Christians dead. As France calls for more troops on the ground in Syria, should France bare responsibility for it’s role in creating ISIS?

Portugal's first attempt to resist against the European Financial Dictatorship

Portugal's president asked Socialist leader Antonio Costa on Monday to start work to form a government, but his call for the Socialists' far left partners to respect budget commitments to the EU prompted a swift rebuke from the Communists. President Anibal Cavaco Silva said in a statement he had asked Costa for clarification on how a minority Socialist government would pass budgets, especially next year's, and about commitments to try to keep the budget deficit within European Union rules. Cavaco Silva's move came amid deep political uncertainty following an inconclusive Oct. 4 election, which some analysts fear could undermine Portugal's economic recovery after the country exited a bailout in 2014. The austerity-minded centre-right won most votes, but lost their parliamentary majority. The Communists, whose support Costa needs to ensure a majority in parliament, reacted angrily to the president's statement, potentially threatening

Πρώτη απόπειρα της Πορταγαλίας να αντισταθεί κατά της Ευρωπαϊκής Χρηματοπιστωτικής Δικτατορίας

Ο εγκάθετος πρόεδρος βάζει όρους για να μην κινδυνεύσει η κυριαρχία της ΕΧΔ Περίπου δυο μήνες μετά τις εκλογές και μπροστά στο αδιέξοδο, ο πρόεδρος της Πορτογαλίας Καβάκο ντα Σίλβα άφησε να εννοηθεί ότι δώσει εντολή σχηματισμού κυβέρνησης στους Σοσιαλιστές, ζητά όμως γραπτές εγγυήσεις από την Αριστερά. Και πάνω από όλα ότι θα συνεχίσει η αριστερή νέα κυβέρνηση στα βήματα της απελθούσης δεξιάς. Στην ουσία πρόκειται για «τελεσίγραφο» σχολιάζουν πορτογαλικά ΜΜΕ, που θα περιορίσει ενδεχομένως το πεδίο δράσης της κυβέρνησης στο μέλλον. Τι ζητά ο Σίλβα; Μια γραπτή δέσμευση-διευκρίνηση από τον Κόστα και τους Σοσιαλιστές, για τα εξής έξι σημεία: ➤ διασφάλιση της ψήφου εμπιστοσύνης (δηλαδή της ψήφου των άλλων δυο κομμάτων της Αριστεράς) ➤ έγκριση του προϋπολογισμού και κυρίως του 2016 ➤ συμμόρφωση με τους κανόνες πειθαρχίας της ευρωζώνης, όπως ορίζεται στο σύμφωνο σταθερότητας, όπως πρεσβεύουν οι μηχανισμοί των ευρωπαϊκών μηχανισμών σταθερότητας κ
