[Zero Hedge] While the developed world is focusing on the rapidly deteriorating developments in the Crimean, China, which has kept a very low profile on the Ukraine situation aside from the token diplomatic statement, is taking advantage of this latest distraction to do what it does best: quietly take over the global periphery while nobody is looking.
Over two years ago we reported that none other than Zimbabwe - best known in recent history for banknotes with many zeros in them - was bashing the US currency, and had aligned itself with the Chinese Yuan. This culminated last month with the announcement by Zimbabwe’s central bank that it would accept the Chinese yuan and three other Asian currencies as legal tender as economic relations have improved in recent years. "Trade and investment ties between Zimbabwe, China, India, Japan and Australia have grown appreciably," said Charity Dhliwayo, acting governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. But I thought this was the western plan ?

Chinese locate to these countries in droves. No child limits. Big families. Purchase lands and basically take over. The silent revolution. Encourage mixed race marriages for their boys so they have blood line foothold.

Cool. Get the commies to adopt the basket case countries of the world. Suck some of that GDP right down the proverbial black hole. You think you have corruption back home, welcome to Africa.

Good luck to both parties. After the Chinese fix Zim, they can backtrack to Mozambique, go long to Zambia or Angola, or go big: Democratic Republic of the Congo. Set up a "good" trade loop, and we could mix emergent flu and poultry viruses with Ebola and Lassa.

Ed, I think that's snark, but maybe it's just prescience.

State- andor OWG "Union" control of strategic commodities-resources as required for future OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order + Space Exploration-Colonization.
Not the only reason but certainly one of the biggies.
The "Great Game" doesn't stop wid OWG-NWO = Space Govt-Order - by extension, neither does the need for OWG or Space-focused "Pecking Order".
It would be a shock if he weren't, though this usage of secretly is clearly not the usual one.
[Jpost] A dispassionate look at the sequence of events shows that the Obama administration has generated an unprecedented crisis in US-Israeli relations, a crisis utilized at every twist and turn by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political rivals, most notably those within his coalition, to try to shake up the country’s leadership. There is more than a hint of White House interference in helping to agitate the coalition drama that provoked Netanyahu’s hesitant decision last Tuesday to dissolve parliament and schedule early elections that could potentially see the prime minister unseated.
Before divining the Obama administration’s fingerprints on the events that led to Netanyahu’s predicament, the immediate question is just what about the Israeli premier makes him so problematic for this White House. The answer is fraught with policy implications that cut to the very heart of Obama’s dangerously myopic, academic view of the world and America’s place among friend and foe.
Unforgivable to the US president is Bibi’s stubborn refusal to acquiesce to the concept of a sweeping, final deal with Iran that many experts believe will leave the mullahs perpetually within months of a nuclear weapon. Never mind that Iran has numerous times threatened to wipe Israel off the map and is a main state sponsor of the Palestinian terrorist organizations Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Obama is more than annoyed at Netanyahu’s Congressional activism of lobbying for tougher sanctions on Tehran at precisely the same time the US administration is working with European allies to extend sanctions relief until next June 30, as the deadline for nuclear talks was yet again postponed until that date. Netanyahu has repeatedly accused Iran of using the drawn-out negotiations as a smokescreen to develop an illicit nuclear infrastructure.
Also problematic for the White House is the breakdown of Israeli-Palestinian “peace” talks, with rhetoric from the Obama administration indicating that the US largely blames Netanyahu for the collapse of the negotiations. In the Alice's looking-glass lens through which Obama views the Middle East, the sturdy legs of the bargaining table broke because of Netanyahu’s decision to build Jewish homes in sections of Jerusalem that will most likely remain under Israeli sovereignty in any future deal. Also, like every other prime minister before him who engaged in these kinds of negotiations, Netanyahu had dared to insist that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, an understanding that Israelis see as central to peaceful co-existence.
Using a different lens on Palestinian complacency, the White House is blind to such infractions as Abbas’s decision to walk away from the talks and instead seek unilateral recognition at the United Nations; the near daily anti-Israel and anti-Jewish incitement in the official Palestinian media; the role of Abbas’s Fatah organization in helping to guide riots currently rocking Jerusalem; the question of whether or not Abbas, amid Hamas gains in Gaza and the West Bank, even represents the Palestinian people; and of course the Palestinians' long history of walking away from every other major international attempt to broker peace.
The White House has singled out Netanyahu as standing in the way of Obama's utopian vision for a new Middle East and Persian Gulf. What better way to bypass this obstacle than aiding in Netanyahu’s removal from office?
Let’s look at the clues. Netanyahu’s decision last week to disband his coalition came when he dismissed his finance minister, Yair Lapid, and his justice minister, Tzipi Livni, both of whom have not disguised their ambitions for the country’s highest office. Tellingly, both took advantage of the steady stream of US criticism toward Netanyahu by leading an escalating public campaign in which they repeatedly accused Netanyahu of causing this dangerous rift in relations with Israel’s most important ally.
At the end of the day, this political interference could backfire monumentally. Obama’s support among the Israeli populace is dismal. Just last week, The Jerusalem Post reported on a poll that showed the number of Israelis who believe Obama had either a “positive” or a “neutral” view of Israel has fallen sharply. Israelis largely see Iran as their single greatest existential threat and seem to react positively to Netanyahu’s tough stance against the US-led negotiations. And remarkably, Netanyahu has the quiet support of the Egyptian and Saudi governments for his regional policies. It remains to be seen if Israelis are ready to entrust their security to a relative political newcomer like Lapid or the perpetually evolving Livni in the face of mounting threats that even now engulf the Jewish state in all directions.
I don't think it is any secret that youknowwho wants to see Bibi out of office...doesn't seem to want the wisdom or advice of someone who knows what he is talking about.

I refuse to give our piel neuse Champ credit for that degree of long-term, strategic thinking. Smells like the efforts of the Brennan and his Foggy Bottom surrogates. Once Netanyahu confirmed the regime's Mooslim Broederbond linkages, the intelligence sharing probably suffered some significant downsizing. The Klingons are not in the business of diminishing capabilities and resources I assure you.

Our Community-Organizer-in-Chief has been undermining Netanyahu since becoming emperor in 2008. Bibi and Israel do not fit in with the UN and left's NWO vision.

In the past the US Democratic Party had a captive NGO "cooperate' with Israel's Labor and other leftward parties during elections. Given that the Democratic President tends to be in charge of the Party, work of this sort tended to be off-stage, and generally supported by the Party politicians as long as it was.
However, the DNC is now monetarily bereft. Most of the Democrats in Congress were not (pre-election) and (post-election)are not willing to play the White House's game this time around.
That leaves the administration itself. And they're being a lot more clumsy and thuggish about it.

g(r)om, that would be an 'unintended consequence'.

As times said or inferred, OWG-NWO = akin or synonymous wid Space Govt-Order, wid Cold War issues such as the Arab-Israeli Conflict desired to be mostly or wholly, + FINALLY, resolved before exploration of deep space begins.
It remains a question mark as to whether the OWG Globalists include POTUS Obama had miscalculated in thinking that Muslim Govts-States of any future, so-called Muslim/Islamic Union, Middle East Union, Persian Gulf Union, North African Union, Mediterranean or South Mediterranean Union, .... .... @etc. will accept or tolerate NON-MUSLIM JEWISH ISRAEL as a formal Member, or Observer or Associate Member status.
As MSM-Net Perts, Bloggers + myself ask, HOW CAN ISRAEL BE A OWG GLOBAL FED UNION UNTO ITSELF, BY-N-FOR ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S ONLY SOVEREIGN OFFICIAL JEWISH NATION-STATE???
It is a reasonable of fair question which has to be asked and answered, ONE WHICH THE GLOBALISTS HAVEN'T.
JUST AS THEY HAVEN'T ANSWERED JUST HOW MUCH IS THE US SUPPOSED TO UNILATERALLY GIVE UP, ANDOR HOW FAR IS THE US SUPPOS TO FALL/PULL BACK ACROSS THE WORLD IN THE NAME OF GLOBALISM AND HELPING FUTURE FELLOW GLOBIE CO-SUPERPOWERS [NGOS?]TO RISE IN FAIR-N-BALANCED NUCLEAR + GEOPOL "US STYLE" PARITY.

[Ynet] Analysis: In the double game he is playing, the Paleostinian president complains about Israel while owing the country a massive debt for his continuance in power.
It's not easy standing up in Ramallah's Muqata compound and declaring that the Paleostinians are halting their security cooperation with Israel. This cooperation was created in the Oslo Agreements, which led to mutual recognition and joyful promises of peace between Israel and the Paleostinians.
Since then, both sides have learned to live with each other within the big holes of the Oslo Agreements. The mutual recognition has faded, and instead of peace we see growing settlements and violent provocations, with no solution in Jerusalem. Together with Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

Abbas continues the line of Palestinian leaders--ineffectual. Maybe better than Arafat. Should he be ousted, someone worse than him might show up to fill the vacuum.
