Paul S Until now i’ve held out against writing anything about the ‘opt-in/opt-out’ organ donation debate because, frankly, I had nothing to add. The case for switching to an opt-out system seemed so overwhelmingly strong that - apart from a few thin objections from the usual religious suspects - I hadn’t come across a single argument for not switching to opt-out worth responding to. Then I read Minnette Marrin's comment originally from the Sunday Times of 16th November. subject: State

MK Bhadrakumar All-too-plausible explanation from Asia Times (http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/JH13Ag02.html) of Georgia's attack on South Ossetia (2,000 civilians killed and refugees made of another 30,000; a helping hand from US airlifts of 2,000 'essential' Georgian troops back from Iraq) in terms of the push to extend NATO into the Caucasus, which, as it says in the title, would 'end the post-Cold War era', permanently activating the military faultline along Russia's southwestern border and the course of the major Central Asian gas and oil pipelines. subject: Asia | Cold War | Energy Resources | Events | Information | Media | Neoliberal | Occupations | Oil | State | Strategy | War | War on Terror

Vasily Koltashov (Institute of Globalization and Social Movements, Moscow) An endless series of Experts have recycled their opinions in Credit Crisis Anniversary-Festschriften over the last few weeks, but this one from the Moscow Institute of Globalization and Social Movements (www.igso.ru) actually has a historical perspective stretching beyond the calendar year. Good account of consumer credit gigantism as short-term supplement to 30 years of falling real wages in the 'old' industrial world, and of high commodity prices as effect rather than cause of inflation (i.e. more money 'created' than commodities produced). subject: Credit | Debt | Economics | Energy Resources | Finance & Trade | Financial Crisis | Globalisation | History | Immigration | Liquidity | Markets | Money | Neoliberal | Oil | Politics | State | War

Michael Hudson Short article from Bahrain weekly 'The Gulf' in which the author of 'Super Imperialism' and 'Global Fracture' makes what is hardly the 'modest proposal' he pretends it is, and perhaps also gives a clue as to what he thought he was doing as 'economic adviser' to Denis Kucinich's presidential run. Hudson proposes that an unspecified bloc of 'Middle Eastern' state-capital should try to settle the dollar-standard blackmail once and for all by offering to buy the US out of the military infrastructure (i.e. subject: Credit | Debt | Economics | Energy Resources | Fictitious Capital | Finance & Trade | Financial Crisis | Globalisation | History | Liquidity | Middle East | Money | Oil | State | Strategy | War
