At a year-end ceremony for Venezuela’s Bolivarian National Armed Forces, FANB, President Nicolas Maduro highlighted the armed forces’ victories in the last year, adding that in 2018 a “popular defense system for peace” will be launched. In the last year, Maduro pressed, the forces fully developed their training and operations plan throughout the country, conducting 236 military operations. The country’s defense system, he added, continues to stand against the aggression it faces from the United States.

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s grandiose performance in front of the UN on December 15 should send shivers down the spines of those who remember Colin Powell’s equally disturbing performance in the months leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This is just the beginning of the a new media campaign against Iran with regime change as the end goal. by Darius Shahtahmasebi Part 5 - Demonization in tandem with the mainstream media In 2015, in one of my more curious moments, I analyzed a number of Guardian articles that claimed, without question, that the Houthi rebels leading an insurrection in Yemen were “Iran-backed.” Most of the time, the claim that the Houthi rebels were Iranian-backed was presented without any evidence, though The Guardian occasionally provided a hyperlink for the source.

globinfo freexchange There were some worrying signs concerning Bitcoin value lately. The problem is not that Bitcoin reached record levels at an exceptionally high price. The problem is that the first significant fluctuations have been observed with high ups and downs. Recently, the former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, described Bitcoin as the "perfect bubble". From Wired : When I first met Yanis Varoufakis in the summer of 2014, he was a highly respected but relatively obscure economist. Back then, the price of one bitcoin fluctuated around $440.
