"The police arrested me for jaywalking. They handed me over to the Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA), which locked me up for four days with many others at one of their detention centres. They threatened to deport me."
Her voice breaking down in sobs, the diminutive woman spoke in Spanish, behind a doggy-faced green mask.

"We are at war," declared French President François Hollande after the bloody terrorist attacks in Paris. "And we'll be merciless." French politicians and media joined in the chorus, singing "La Marseillaise," the French national anthem.
No, in reality, the war has hit home, big time.
La clé de la sanglante crise qui s'aggrave en République centrafricaine (RCA) ne se trouve pas dans le conflit armé entre chrétiens et musulmans, comme le martèlent nos médias liés à de puissants intérêts des pays de l'OTAN/OCDE, incluant le géant minier canadien.
Cette clé, elle se trouve dans la géostratégie de cette RCA grande comme la France, son ex-colonisatrice, et riche en ressources peu exploitées (diamants, or, uranium, pétrole, potentiel hydraulique, agriculture, et des terres arables qui attisent de puissantes convoitises extérieures).

The key to the bloody crisis worsening in the Central African Republic (CAR) does not lie in the armed conflict between Christians and Muslims, as encapsulated and repeated ad nauseam by our corporate media linked to powerful interests in NATO/OECD countries -- including mining giant Canada.
What happened in Geneva last month between Iran and the UN Security Council P-5 plus Germany was more than just a deal on the right to peaceful nuclear technology; it was, for the NATO P-3 (U.S., U.K., France) certainly, a pivotal return to diplomacy in world affairs after decades of knee-jerk first use of arms as weapon of choice in "resolving" conflicts.
Following in the wake of the Russia-brokered agreement on the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons arsenal, the Iran deal confirms that the U.S. administration has finally and effectively decided (for how long?) to break with the war-mongering strategy of its predecessors, including one-term "peace" president Jimmy Carter -- under whose watch began the Iranian Revolution and the Jihadi war that continues in Afghanistan.
Funny things on the way to the war on Syria have been happening ever since the war in Syria began two-and-a-half years ago, and they just keep on accumulating.
The latest was U.S. President Barack Obama's announcement that he will hit Syria unilaterally, without a UN mandate and without waiting for the conclusions of UN inspectors on the issue of poison gas -- but with a "yes" vote from Congress.
Then, as the debate opened in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he made it known that he would strike Syria "even if Congress votes No" to his war!
Il reste à peine deux semaines avant les élections étatsuniennes, mais ça fait longtemps déjà que j'ai décroché -- comme le font de plus en plus de gens d'ailleurs.
Je n'ai donc pas suivi les débats (le dernier entre Barack Obama et Mitt Romney est fixé au 22 octobre). Mais je n'ai pu les éviter: j'ai eu beau zapper, les têtes parlantes réapparaissaient sur une bonne quinzaine des 60 canaux de télé que je reçois chez moi.
Confronted with a declining World Order it can no longer control, does the West want to re-assert its will through a new world war, which this time would be really global?
A terrifying scenario emerges from the ceaseless escalation of pressures and threats against Syria and Iran, pitting, for the first time since the NATO-OECD Empire won the Cold War two decades ago, the Western trio of the UN veto club (U.S., U.K., France) against its non-Western duo (Russia and China).
