The French sale, the first by a NATO member to Russia, comes despite objections from the U.S. and other NATO members and was disclosed while Mr. Gates was visiting Paris. "I understand that, for some Central and Eastern European countries, the wounds are still there. France wants a new relationship, and that means it needs to go through new exchanges. We cannot, on the one hand, enlist Russia in building this security, and at the same time consider that Russia has not profoundly changed since 1991," said French Defence Minister Morin.

Chile mint boss pays the price of coin spelling howler
The general manager of the Chilean mint has been dismissed after thousands of coins were issued with the name of the country spelt wrongly.
My comment: I’ll bet Jim Kunstler would have a ball with this one. Talk about dumbed down and clueless. The only response consumption
addicts have to the greatest wealth transfer in the history of the world is to kick and scream over the price of shoes?. Does this give
you a clue about their responses when the shit really hits the fan?.

The battle-stretched US military Saturday vowed to keep up US assistance in Haiti as long as needed on Saturday as it pointed to a likely 45 to 50 day armed mission. Webmaster’s Commentary:
Don’t bet on that; the battle for the exploitation of oil and mineral rights in Haiti (which will, of course, still leave the Haitian people impoverished beyond belief) has just begun.
Maziki Thame- René Préval sold Haiti to the USA for US$100 million. The Americans’ pledge of US$100 million in assistance to Haiti following the earthquake disaster of January 12 must have sealed the agreement for US control over Haiti.

A commitment to Haitian democratisation has neve.…

In news from Latin America, Laura Chinchilla is set to become Costa Rica’s first female president. She won Sunday’s election in a landslide. Laura Chinchilla: “Costa Rica is my beloved fatherland. I defend her, I love her, I adore her, and I give my life to her.” Laura Chinchilla is seen as a protégé of Costa Rica’s outgoing president Oscar Arias, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Chinchilla promised to pursue the same economic policies of Arias that recently brought the country into a trade pact with the US and opened commerce with China.

WHERE WILL OUR STAPLE FOODS COME
FROM?. It seems like discussions of gardening are often focused on growing
fruits and vegetables. The question that comes to me is, ‘What do we
do about staple carbohydrate foods?’, like wheat or corn (maize) or
potatoes. These foods are ones that store well, and supply a large
portion of the calories of the diets of most people around the world.
In the US, wheat has tended to be a staple, but it is not easy for a
home gardener to grow, and it requires processing that is more easily
done by commercial equipment. So the question I have is, ‘How should
we plan to get our staple carbohydrate foods going forward?’.

HOW THE ERA OF JOBLESSNESS WILL TRANSFORM AMERICA Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character
of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint
on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution
in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities
into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp
our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years
to come.
